[philly]

New York, NY. (Sept. 28, 2017) - Undefeated two-time junior middleweight world champion, Demetrius "Boo Boo" Andrade makes his return to HBO® when he takes on undefeated Alantez Fox in a 12 round middleweight bout that will take place on Saturday, October 21st from Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.

The bout will be the live co-feature of an HBO Boxing After Dark tripleheader card that will feature Jazreel Corrales defending the WBA World Super Featherweight Title against undefeated Alberto Machado and Ryan Burnett taking on Zhanat Zhakiyanov (tape delay) in a Bantamweight Unification Bout. The HBO telecast will begin at 10:05 p.m. ET/PT.

The Corrales vs. Machado bout is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions.

The Andrade - Fox bout is promoted by Banner Promotions, Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing and A-Team Promotions, in association with DiBella Entertainment.

Andrade of Providence, Rhode Island was a 2008 United Sates Olympian, and the 2007 World Amateur Champion. His success has continued in the professional ranks, as he has a perfect professional resume with a record of 24-0 with 16 knockouts.

Andrade, 29 years-old captured the WBO World Junior Middleweight crown with a 12-round split decision over fellow Olympian and previously undefeated Vanes Martirosyan on November 9, 2013. Andrade defended the title with a sensational 7th round stoppage of mandatory challenger Brian Rose.

On March 11, 2017, Andrade became a two-time world champion when he won the WBA World Junior Middleweight Championship with a 12-round split decision over reigning champion Jack Culcay in Ludwigshafen, Germany.

Fox of Forestville, Maryland has a undefeated mark of 23-0-1 with 11 knockouts.

The 25 year-old Fox stands 6'4", and he has used that height to score impressive victories over Kenneth McNeil, Ronald Montes, Paul Valenzuela Jr., and previously undefeated Patrick Day.

"First of all I need to thank HBO, and especially Peter Nelson for giving me this tremendous opportunity. Thanks to him, I get a chance to not only have a great fight on October 21st, but I also get to show my fans on prime time that I'm the best fighter in the junior middleweight and now the Middleweight division, "said Andrade. "I can't wait for the chance to fight more often and against the very best and thanks to HBO I finally have that chance! And I'm looking forward to giving my fans a great performance and I'm going to show them how much I appreciate their support by giving them a great show!"

"The Olympics were ten years ago. He is not the same fighter. I don't see anything that he will do that can put a loss on my record. I am going on HBO to put on a boxing exhibition," said Fox.

"I am very happy for Demetrius to be back in the ring on HBO. There are a lot of compelling fights that could take place on HBO for Demetrius' future career," said Artie Pelullo, President of Banner Promotions.

"We are very pleased to have Demetrius back in the ring on HBO," said Joe DeGuardia, President of Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing. "I have always felt that Demetrius is one of the best fighters in the world, and I feel he has a very bright future."

"Alantez Fox is a tall, rangy, powerful, and undefeated middleweight contender," said Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment. "Boo Boo Andrade is a great fighter, but we believe that Fox is up to the challenge."

The inactivity level is INSANE!!!

Who is Demetrius Andrade?

[boxing_rocks]

MW division is getting hot. Charlo, Andrade ... Who is next ?

Golovkin doesn't look unbeatable anymore, so people find their balls and move to the division they really belong to.

[brilo33]

i like Demetrius Andrade, don't like his inactivity , big skillful lad

[SaadOffTheDeck]

Yet another brutal career. Good to see he's stepping up his comp.

[Best Coast]

Great news. A compelling matchup with one of the best boxing formulas:

Two quality fighters in a bout where somebody's O has go to go!!

[Mexi-Box]

Who the hell is Alantez fox?

[Best Coast]

Who the hell is Alantez fox?

Highly touted ex-amateur standout who hasnt really stepped up yet in the pro ranks. He will be an underdog, but a LIVE one.

[Badhusker]

Andrade was stuck at 154 because Lara wouldn't give him a title shot. Andrade has has poor management, but is a talent that is very good. Imo better than Lara or the Charlo brothers. Time will tell.

I think he's certainly right there with 'em. I'd like to see him get his chance.

I think Erickson Lubin is a very live, and dangerous opponent for Jermell Charlo coming up as well.

[SaadOffTheDeck]

Lubin should be more than live, he should be the favourite.

He is not better than those guys. Vanes gave him a hard time, and he hasn't fought anybody better than Vanes.

[Best Coast]

Lubin should be more than live, he should be the favourite.

Although I wont go that far in calling Lubin the favorite (American spelling) I do think it will be competitive enough that it SHOULD be included in the PTBF contest!!

Unfortunately, I wasnt able to convince the PTBF director to go along with that idea...

My new cell is set up in British. No dollar sign. I'm retarded with technology.
