ATLANTA, GA.  Sports Fan Properties & Shea Bailey Promotions announced today that the originally scheduled Georgia Boxing Championship on Friday, February 3rd now will be on Friday, March 2, 2012. The event will still take place at The Buckhead Theatre located at 3110 Roswell Road in the heart of Buckhead. The Georgia Boxing Championship is a Vegas-style professional boxing series that features the best professional boxers from Georgia and around the Southeast and is presented by Tecate, 680 The Fan & Xfinity.

 

“This is a first for the Georgia Boxing Championship”, said co-promoter Greg Barckhoff, “Jose received a cut on the bridge of his nose this past Tuesday night and there is just not enough time for it to properly heal for his GBC Lightweight Title Fight on February 3rd. Typically, when something like this happens we look for another opponent, but because title fights in Georgia are rare, we decided to do what we could to make it happen as soon as possible.”  Co-promoter Shea Bailey said, “This is probably the most excited I’ve been about a fight that’s been on one of our GBC cards.  Both Jose and Tony will be very hungry for this one and they always bring their “A” game no matter where or when they fight”

 

This rest of the bout card will remain intact and will feature a co-main event bout between to exciting and up-and-coming boxers, Dino Dumonjic (4-2) and Jesus Tavera (3-1).
