A U.S. expansion has always been a major priority. We're already available in select markets across the country, but this could be the first time opportunity for many American viewers to get a taste of the world-class fights that Fight Network delivers week in and week out."  Chisora (19-4, 13 KOs), also the reigning European heavyweight champion, will defend his World Boxing Organization (WBO) International and World Boxing Association (WBA) International titles in the 12-round main event against former world title challenger Kevin "Kingpin" Johnson (29-4-1, 14 KOs).    Derek Chisora Chisora, fighting out of London, is ranked among the top 13 heavyweights in the world by all four major governing bodies: WBO No. 2, World Boxing Council (WBC) and International Boxing Federation (IBF) No. 5, and WBA No. 13. Last July, the former world title challenger and Zimbabwe native knocked out previously unbeaten American heavyweight Malik Scott (35-0-1) in the sixth round for the vacant WBO International crown, followed only two months later by a fifth-round technical knockout of Edmund Gerber (23-1) for the vacant European title. In his last action this past November, Chisora stopped Ondrej Pala (32-3) in the third round, successfully defending his WBO International title, as well as for the vacant WBA International Championship. Johnson, fighting out of Atlanta, Georgia, is a former IBF Australian heavyweight champion who defeated Alex Leapai (25-3-3) by ninth round TKO in 2012. Leapai currently is the WBO No. 1 mandatory challenger for champion Wladimir Klitschko. Johnson has also defeated former WBA heavyweight champion Bruce Seldon and previously undefeated Devin Vargas (17-0), both by stoppage. Chisora and Johnson, interestingly enough, both lost to now retired WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko and Fury. Since knocking out Steve Cunningham last April in his American debut, Fury's career has been somewhat derailed by a pair of canceled British mega-fights with former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye. The 6' 9" Irish-Mancunian is ranked No. 7 by the WBO and No. 8 by the WBC, plus No. 5 by The Ring Magazine.    Tyson Fury (R) In addition to Cunningham, Chisora and Johnson, Fury has also beaten Vinny Maddalone, Martin Rogan and previously undefeated Nevin Pajkic. Fury takes on multi-tattooed Argentinian invader Gonzalo Omar "El Paton" Baslie (61-8, 28 KOs) in the 10-round co-feature. Basile is the IBF Latino heavyweight title-holder and has held several other belts during his 11-year pro career. The Chisora and Fury fights are considered a prelude to a potential rematch this summer for Chisora's European crown with world title implications. Also on the Feb. 15 card are two other 10-round title fights. Undefeated WBO European super middleweight champion Frank "Wise Guy" Buglioni (11-0, 8 KOs), rated No. 12 by the WBO, defends against Italian challenger Gaetano Nespro (21-9-1, 3 KOs). Unbeaten British favorite Bradley Skeete (14-0, 4 KOs) and former WBA super lightweight champion "Vicious" Vivian Harris (31-9-2, 19 KOs) square off for the vacant WBA Intercontinental welterweight title. All fights and fighters are subject to change. For additional information go online to www.fightnetwork.com orwww.integratedsportsnet.com, or follow on Twitter @FightNet and @IntegratedPPV.

'Tank' Invasion of Finland on Nov. 10 Sherman Williams takes on Robert Helenius

Sherman "Tank" Williams  VERO BEACH, FL (October 11, 2012) - Bahamian road warrior Sherman "Tank" Williams heads to Finland in a few weeks, not for a Scandinavian vacation, but to ruin undefeated Robert "The Nordic Nightmare" Helenius' return to the ring, as well as to give the big Finn his first loss as a pro. "I'm going to Finland to give Helenius more than he can handle," Williams said from his Florida training camp in Vero Beach. "I'm bringing my 'Conch' (over-hand right) punch and to spoil things for him." Former European champion Helenius (17-0, 11 KOs) has been out of action nearly a full year, since last December 3 when he suffered a shoulder injury during his highly-controversial 12-round split decision win over Derek Chisora. The 6' 6 ½" Helenius, ranked No. 13 by the World Boxing Organization (WBO), has knocked out a trio of former world heavyweight champions: Sergei Liakhovich (TKO9), Samuel Peter(KO9) and Lamon Brewster (TKO8). "Helenius brings size into the ring," WBO No. 10 rated Williams noted. "He's 6' 6", 6' 7" but guys that size rarely stand-up straight. I'm sure I can reach him. I've been in the ring with big guys before like Jameel McCline, who I fight in his hometown at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. I beat him from pillar-to-post but only got a draw. I've sparred with Wladimir and Vitali (Klitschko brothers) and reached them. "I looked at Helenius' record and he's beaten some name fighters, but I think he padded his record by beating them long after their primes. Helenius is going to be eating a lot of 'Conch' on November 10th." Williams (34-11-2, 19 KOs), a bonafide Bahamian sports legend, traveled halfway around the world to Macau, China on June 28 to defeat   (53-5-5, 20 KOs) for the WBO Asia Pacific and WBO Asian Boxing Council Championships. "I'm a warrior, a fighter who'll fight anybody, anywhere," Williams continued. "I'd love to fight at home in The Bahamas. I'm proud of my country. People there are proud of me and behind me; unfortunately, no casino or hotel there will host a show. I train and my manager, Si Stern, sets-up my fights, whether there in Finland, China, Russia or wherever. I'm an international fighter. No matter where I fight, it's in a ring with only two guys, and I'm always confident of knocking out my opponent. "I thought I was going to defend my title in China. They were going to have me fight on August 12, then in September, and again on October 12th. They're still working on a date but I couldn't wait around. I guess they're on their own schedule, or on Evander Holyfield's (Williams' fight vs. Holyfield was changed three times). We've been patient. This fight came up and with only a three-week notice; we still felt it was worth it. I would still like to fight again in China."     Stern added, "I've suffered over the years trying to get Sherman a fight against the Klitschkos and other top heavyweights. They had no problems sparring with Sherman, but they didn't offer him a fight because he's such a big puncher. They avoided fighting Sherman because they weren't willing to take the risk. It was very frustrating but we never looked back. Now, thank God, Sherman is getting a chance he deserves against Helenius. So, get ready, top heavyweights, 'Tank' is ready, willing and able to get in the ring with you." "A lot of guys won't fight in Europe because they stand a good chance of getting robbed," Williams concluded. "I'm excited that this fight is on TV (Epic) in America and The Bahamas. I'm fighting in his backyard and it will be an action-packed fight. If I get robbed, though, it won't look as bad knowing people back home will be watching on television I'm not counting on it going the distance but, if it don't knock him out, everyone will at least know that I gave my best and did my job."
