YORK, PENNSYLVANIA, October 23, 2008 -- Undefeated lightweight prospect, Carney Bowman, the pride of York, Pennsylvania, is busy preparing for his next fight, headlining “THE BATTLE AT YORK II” on Saturday, November 8th at the Valencia Ballroom.

“I love fighting in York, this is my home, I was born and raised here so they know me and have been very supportive. The expectations are a little higher in front of the hometown crowd but that’s the way I like it” said the 25 year old Bowman.
Training out of the Lincolnway Sportcenter, under the long time tutelage of Julio Alvarez, Bowman is preparing diligently for November 8th. “I’ve been with Julio since I was ten, training out of his gym. Training here in York is the perfect environment for me.”
“Typically I’m up early to get my running in, about four miles every morning. Lately I’ve been sparring with Doel Carrasquillo in Lancaster . He’s bigger than me so it gives me a chance to use my strength as well as my speed” said Bowman of the heavy handed Puerto Rican welterweight.
