Press Release
MERRILLVILLE, Ind., August 26, 2008 -- On Friday October 3rd, Octavius James/One In A Million Inc, presents the "Radisson Rumble" an evening of exciting professional boxing from the Radisson Hotel @ Star Plaza in Merrillville, IN. One In A Million is coming off a highly successful show at the USS Steelyard in Gary, IN where thousands gathered to celebrate the five-year anniversary of a tremendous boxing promotion. Tickets are now sale for the "Radisson Rumble" which is sure to provide the fireworks boxing fans have been accustomed to from One In A Million Inc.
"The Steelyard Brawl was truly a historic event for One In A Million Boxing. It touched me at how many people came out to show their support and appreciation for our five year anniversary show," said One In A Million CEO Octavius James. "The fans reaction gives me the energy to work even harder to continue to produce outstanding shows. I assure the "Radisson Rumble" is going to be a tremendous show with outstanding fights. There is something special about the Radisson. On October 3rd, we are going to be putting on a special main event with Michael Walker vs. Antwaun Echols. This fight is a rematch as both men fought to a draw in February on ESPN 2 'Friday Night Fights.' The first fight was a barn burner and the second one is sure to provide more fireworks." James said.
As mentioned in the Main Event, Once beaten Middleweight prospect Michael "Midnight Stalker" Walker (18-1, 12KOs) will look to get back on the winning track after suffering a hard fought unanimous decision loss to David Lopez in June on Solo Boxeo. In February, Walker and Antwaun Echols (31-8, 3KOs) fought to a draw before a worldwide television audience watching on ESPN 2. The Chicago native is erasing that draw from his record and showing the world he is still a force to be reckoned with in the middleweight division. Walker has shown signs of brilliance having defeated former Olympic gold medallist Dante Craig last August on the Morales -Diaz pay- per- view card.
In the Co-Main Event Derrick "Superman" Findley (12-2, 7KOs), who is coming off a devastating second round TKO win over Andrezj Fonfara on ESPN 2, seeks to continue in his ascension up the middleweight ladder. "Superman" possesses dangerous knockout power in both hands along with a physique, which is second to none. Findley is primed and ready for all contenders.
Plus in a special attraction, Juan "Mexican Connection" Aguilar (6-1, 3KOs) takes on Orphuis Waite (2-0, 2KOs). Waite has started his career with a bang running through his first two opponents and will be looking to do the same against Aguilar. Aguilar on the other hand has other plans on his mind, as he will be looking to stop Waite in his tracks.
Rounding out this exciting card will be Heavyweight Michael "Quiet Assassin" Parker (6-0, 5KOs),
Welterweight sensation Ed Ochoa (5-0, 5KOs), and middleweight Josh Crouch (1-0, 1KO) also join the mix.
Parker is coming off a stirring knockout win against Eric Crittendon and is focused on moving right past the competition in his quest towards becoming a heavyweight contender. Ochoa is looking to find out who will be the next name to add to his knockout list. Crouch who is the newest addition to the One In A Million Inc. stable is ready to exhibit his talent against whoever is put in front of him.
