LAS VEGAS (Nov. 6, 2009) – A
unique United States versus The World pro boxing show that
features team scoring competition, showcasing sons of four
former world champions, will be held Dec. 12 at the Paris
Las Vegas Hotel & Casino as part of a spectacular “World’s
Greatest Ever Boxer” promotion that weekend at the same
venue.
IBF No. 6 rated junior
middleweight Sechew “Iron Horse” Powell (25-2, 15 KOs),

Antonio “Mesquitinha Nejo” Mesquita (35-1, 27 KOs) in the
10-round main event.
The “World’s Greatest Ever
Boxing Show,” presented by The World Greatest Ever in
association with Seminole Warriors Boxing, is part of a
three-day boxing spectacular, Dec. 11-13 at The Paris,
climaxing with “The World’s Greatest Ever Boxer” awards
dinner the night following the boxing show.
“We’re excited to be
presenting a show not only featuring sons of four former
world champions, but past Olympians and other amateur stars
who all seem destined for greatness in pro boxing,” Chris
Heverin, President of Greatest Ever Enterprises, said. “The
debate on the Greatest Ever Boxers has been fierce to date
and we fully expected the competition in the ring to be
equally fierce. Seminole Warrior Boxing has done a great job
putting this stellar card together. We currently have a
10-part TV series in production that will air in TV markets
worldwide. This entertaining boxing show will play a
significant part in it and many of the legends being honored
will be attending the show.”
Former world champions and
nominees in “The World’s Greatest Boxer” promotion, Aaron
“The Hawk” Pryor and Jeff “Marrickville Mauler” Fenech, are
Team Captains for the US and World, respectively.
