The fight will be promoted by Warriors Boxing and
Sampson Boxing LLC, and televised live throughout
the US on ESPN2.
Rances Barthelemy won the UBO title last July when
he beat Gerardo Robles on points at the
Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, and is coming off a
knockout victory over Mexican Alejandro Barrera on
the Lucian Bute-Glenn Johnson undercard in Quebec
City, Canada in November.
Managed by Henry Foster and promoted by Leon
Margules/Warriors Boxing, the 25-year-old Cuban
has proved to be one of the most exiting
up-and-comers in the game, and in Hylon Williams
Jr. he will face his biggest test since turning
professional in August 2009.
21-year-old Hylon Williams Jr. will be challenging
for his first professional title, and it’s safe to
say that on February 3 he will also be in with his
best opponent so far. |

Originally from Houston, Williams has fought all
over the US, even once in Puerto Rico, but just
like Barthelemy he is now residing in Las Vegas,
adding extra spice to an already mouthwatering
match-up.
On the same card, appropriately billed SUPERBRAWLS,
former world-title-challenger Edison Miranda
(35-6, 30 KOs) will take on Isaac Chilemba
(18-1-1, 9 KOs) at Light Heavyweight, and Russian
Heavyweight sensation Magomed Abdusalamov (12-0,
12 KOs) clash with Cuban Pedro Rodriguez (8-0, 6
KOs).
