			Tyrone Everett called it "the toughest fight of my career" but when it was over, he became the first man in history to own two [[North American Boxing Federation]] crowns at the same time.

	*It was announced that this was the first time in history that a fighter owned two divisional NABF titles at the same time.		Everett, of Philadelphia, dropped down to 126 pounds and won the vacant NABF featherweight crown Tuesday night by pounding out a unanimous decision over Rosalio Muro in a fight where both men were knocked down.
	*Muro was announced as having an 28-5-1 (27 KOs) record going into this fight.
	*It was claimed before this fight that the top four NABF featherweight contenders turned down Russell Peltz' offer of ~~$10~~,~~000~~ to ~~fight Everett for~~ the vacant ~~title. Only~~ Muro~~, ranked number five, accepted~~.

	~~Post fight comment~~		Everett, 22, who has his sights on the world featherweight title, also holds the NABF 130-pound junior lightweight title and is ranked among the top two in that division in all world rankings.

	* "All I've been doing is collecting trophies, that's why I dropped down to the featherweight class. None of the champions will give me a shot. Champions don't like to fight the number one contender. They figure, why fight the number one guy? He had to be pretty mean to get there. So, they work around you." -Tyrone Everett		Muro, who defeated contenders [[ Octavio Gomez\|Famoso Gomez]] and Sanjo Takemori in the last 10 months, and Everett fought 12 brawling rounds.

			In the early going, Everett's taller opponent forced the action with Everett responding with rights and lefts. Muro, now 28-6-1, came on strong in the third and fourth rounds until he was floored by a left hook in the closing seconds of the fourth round. Everett, unbeaten and untied in 31 bouts, then became the aggressor and scored repeatedly with lefts and rights to the body.

			However, Everett was floored in the eighth with a stunning right and took an eight-count. Everett then came back, scoring with lefts and rights in the ninth round and opened a cut over Muro's eye.

			Both fighters fought toe-to-toe throughout the last two rounds.

			==Note==
			It was claimed before this fight that the top four NABF featherweight contenders turned down promoter [[Russell Peltz]]'s offer of $10,000 to fight Everett for the vacant title. Only Muro, ranked number five, accepted.
