UBO International Light
Heavyweight Champion Zoltan
Kiss Jr. (22-9-3, 6 KOs) was
supposed to defend his title on
December 17 in Erd, Hungary, but
had to pull out about a week
before the fight when he
suffered a serious hand injury
in training.
Kiss was told by his doctor that
it could be up to three months
before he can fight again, and
his first UBO title defense is
therefore on hold.
•
Kali Jacobus (15-3, 11
KOs), the UBO World Super
Middleweight Champion, also had
a title defense postponed when
his opponent Francisco
Antonio Mora (55-17-1, 35
KOs) had travel complications.
Jacobus vs. Mora was scheduled
for December 15, but will now
happen on December 29 instead.

Besides taking care of business
inside the ring this past
Saturday (12.10), new UBO
Inter-Continental Champion
Roy Jones Jr. (55-8, 40 KOs)
has time to do the same outside
it too. Please check out
www.royjonesjrchallenge.com
– The UBO can recommend it!

UBO World Lightweight Champion
Mason Menard (17-1, 13
KOs) will return on January 6 at
the Evangeline Downs Casino in
Opelousas, Louisiana. Menard,
who won the UBO world title this
past August by stopping Joseph
Laryea, will take on an opponent
to be announced in a scheduled
eight rounder.
It is the plan that he will make
his first world title defense in
early spring 2012.

We wish a speedy recovery to UBO
Inter-Continental Welterweight
title Jo Jo Dan (29-2, 16
KOs) who broke his jaw in his
fight against Selcuk Aydin on
November 26.
Like the first time they fought
(in June 2010), Dan lost a
controversial and close decision
which many felt he deserved to
win. In any case it proved that
Dan is true world class, and the
UBO is proud to have him as one
of our champions.
