CASTILLO – HARRIS
ADDED AS NEW MAIN EVENT ON FRIDAY JUNE 6TH AT THE
LEGENDARY BLUE HORIZON
12 round cruiserweight affair added to an already packed
night of boxing
PHILADELPHIA (May 15, 2008)—In what was already a big night of
boxing just got even bigger as a twelve round cruiserweight
battle between Elieser Castillo & Adam Harris has been added
to a great night of boxing at The Legendary Blue Horizon in
Philadelphia.
Castillo of Miami via Havana, Cuba has been a mainstay in the
Heavyweight division as he has fought and defeated some
top-ranked contenders over his twelve year career.
Castillo has a record of 30-6-2 with seventeen knockouts. He
holds victories over the first man to defeat Wladimir
Klitschko in Ross Purrity, undefeated Andre Purlette (32-0),
former U.S. Olympian Lawrence Clay-Bey (18-1) & former IBF
Cruiserweight champion Uriah Grant, who Castillo starched in
one round.
Castillo has never been knocked out despite being in the ring
with a whose-who of the Heavyweight division. He has gone the
distance with former IBF Heavyweuight champion Chris Byrd,
former WBO Heavyweight title challenger Alexander Zolkin for
which Castillo battled to a disputed draw, as well as dropping
razor thin majority decision to former WBC Heavyweight
champion Tim Witherspoon and former IBF world title challenger
DaVarryl Williamson.
In a way Castillo can avenge the loss to Witherspoon as the
former WBC champ is one of Harris’ trainers.

Morgan this past February 21st in Miami

Harris.

Worcester, Massachusetts and has a record of 10-0 with seven
knockouts.
