Hearns-Mihtar battle on Oct 9

By Bob Ryder

Ronald “The Chosen One” Hearns and Brian “The Lion” Mihtar will square off in a 10 round middleweight contest on October 9 as the feature attraction across the river from Detroit at the Caesars Windsor Casino, Windsor, Canada. Hearns with a record of 25-1, 19 KO’s will bring in decided advantages in height and reach while Mihtar at 13-1, 10 KO’s will be seeking to test his taller opponent’s chin. An intriguing match-up with lots of interest for Detroit area fans of each man.

Also slated to appear on the “Chaos At The Colosseum” card in separate contests will be Motown favorites Darryl “The Peoples Choice” Cunningham and Alexis “Hurricane” Hloros both currently riding 13 bout win streaks. Windsor natives Ali Mansour and Andre Gorges will likely perform as well before their hometown fans. Organizers are still at work rounding out the card and promise several more exciting bouts to be announced.

Tickets starting at $20 will go on sale at noon on August 14 and will be available at www.caesarswindsor.com
