Press Release
MERRILLVILLE, Ind., -- In search of the perfect Christmas present or stocking stuffer that packs a real punch? Well Octavius James' One In A Million, Inc. in association with Miller Lite has everything you may need for that special someone, including tickets for the upcoming and action packed "Slug Fest 2009". Tickets are on sale now for the Friday, January 23rd, 2009 special event which will take place at the Radisson Hotel @ Star Plaza in Merrillville, In. Brand new and stylish One In A Million, Inc. apparel is also available by visiting www.oneinamillionboxing.com and there is an exclusive website special offer.
Octavius James' One In A Million, Inc. will also use this amazing card to give back to those in need of help. The Gary P.A.L. will receive a portion of the proceeds to help them purchase new equipment after their facilities were destroyed during the floods that ravaged the region.
"This is an opportunity not only for our fans to enjoy a sensational night of boxing at an incredible venue, but also a chance to help give back to a Mr. John Taylor and (the Gary P.A.L.) program that has provided so much to the region over the years," said James of what is shaping up to be a electric night.
Jimmy "The Fighting School Teacher" Holmes (17-1-2, 9 KO's) won't be looking to spread any Christmas cheer in his Main Event, as he returns to the ring after months on the sideline resting his injury that put him there.
"Merciless" Mary McGee (15-0, 9 KO's) returns to the ring in the Co-Main Event following her successful defense of her NABC Light Weight World Championship. The Gary native looks to bring in the New Year with some power of her own.
Hobart's undefeated welterweight Ed Ochoa (6-0, 6 KO's) will also be on the card as he squares off against an opponent TBA. This explosive event will also feature light heavyweight "The Pitbull" Jimmy Perez Jr. (3-1, 1 KO) of Hammond and powerhouse welterweight Marcus Thompkins (2-0) of Michigan City will attempt to stay unbeaten.
Rounding out the card, very skilled middleweight Josh Crouch of Schererville (2-0, 2 KO's) and young Chicago-product Orphius Waite (3-0, 3 KOs) look to continue their young and impressive careers.
Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at $100 for VIP, $75 VIP ringside, $50 ringside, and $30 general admission. They are available from any Ticket Master location at (219) 791-1234, (312) 559-1212, (866) 438-7372 or www.TicketMaster.com.
