Star Boxing’s just-signed Zac Dunn (18-0, 15 KOs) will defend his IBO super middleweight world championship and put his unbeaten record on the line against Denis “The Momma’s Boy” Douglin (19-4, 12 KOs) on October 24th at The Paramount in Huntington, New York, it was announced today by Star Boxing president Joe DeGuardia.‎‎ The bout is the main event in the next installment of Star Boxing’s Rockin’ Fights series.‎ “This will be an action fight from the opening bell,” said DeGuardia. “Both fighters are crowd-pleasers with their propensity for the knockout. All but three of Zac’s wins have been by KO, and Douglin has won almost 60 percent of his fights via knockout. It’s a great fight for boxing enthusiasts.”

I notice Denis Douglin is a southpaw. Dunn has recently beaten southpaws Berrocal and Kwak in the pro ranks and would no doubt have fought many southpaws in his 170 amateur fights. So it shouldn't hold any demons for him.

Zac Dunn is among the favourites to be named fighter of the year at the Australian Boxing Hall of Fame’s annual dinner in Melbourne on Saturday night - and he has been given an opportunity to break into the American big-time.

Dunn claimed the IBO super middleweight world title with an impressive points win over Ukrainian Max Bursak in Melbourne in June, taking his record to 18-0.

That has led to a contract with American promoter Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing and he will defend the title in New York on October 24 against American Denis Douglin, 27, who is known as Momma’s Boy because he is trained by his mother.

Could be interesting. Douglin has faced the better opposition by far.

Denis Douglin is out with a perforated eardrum and has been replaced as Zac Dunn's opponent by Derrick Findley 22-16-1.

Douglin perforated his left ear drum in a recent sparring session, and is not fit to fight under doctor’s orders.
