«On fight night, I’m making another statement and going for the knockout,» said super welterweight world champion Erislandy «The American Dream» Lara (23-2-2, 13 KOs). «After the fight with Foreman, it’s time to unify the division, then move up to win the middleweight titles!»
Lara will take on former world champion Yuri Foreman (34-2, 10 KOs) in the world title fight. The bout will take place at the Hialeah Park Racing and Casino in Miami, Florida, and be televised on Spike TV.
