Boxing: Byrd’s Light Heavyweight Debut Set For May 16th
From ESPN:
Free-agent former two-time heavyweight titleholder Chris Byrd, who is moving down to light heavyweight, has signed with promoter Artie Pelullo’s Banner Promotions.
“I’ve been a fan and friend of Chris’ for a long time, and I’m looking forward very much to working with him,” Pelullo said. “I think it’s going to surprise a lot of people, but Chris — the former two-time heavyweight champ — is going to be fighting at 175 pounds. I think he’s going to make some great fights in the division, and I think he’s going to win the world championship.”
Byrd will make his debut at light heavyweight on May 16th in the main event of “Friday Night Fights,” which airs on ESPN 2. No opponent has been named for the feature attraction but is expected to be announced shortly and Jab and Grapple will pass it along as soon as it is announced.
