Travis Kauffman Ready to Shine Friday Night Against Murphy
Press Release
TULSA, OK -- Undefeated heavyweight prospect Travis Kauffman is relaxed and ready to take care of business tomorrow night against Ken Murphy of Chicago, Illinois. Kauffman, 14-0 (11 KO), of Reading, PA will fight Murphy in a six-round bout on the undercard of the Gary Shaw Productions/Holden Productions-promoted show at the Million Dollar Elm Casino in Tulsa, OK.
Kauffman checked in at a trim and ready 224 pounds, three pounds heavier than his previous fight with Malachy Farrell in December which was televised on ShoBox: The Next Generation. His opponent weighed in at 230.
"This is just another day at the office for me," said the cool-minded heavyweight prospect.
"I want to knock him out. He doesn't need to go the distance with me. Expect a great show because I will be victorious."
Although Murphy, a one-time cruiserweight title challenger, is considered past his best days, Travis' father and trainer Marshall Kauffman is not taking the more-experienced veteran lightly.
"Ken Murphy is a 'stay-busy' opponent but you can never take those fights for granted because those are the guys that upset you. Every fight for Travis is a stepping stone and a learning experience so we're looking to get as much out of this fight as we can to prepare for our bigger tests down the line."
