Cornwall, Ontario (October 10, 2013) Lightweight standout Tony Lightning Luis of Cornwall, Ontario, Canada makes his highly anticipated return to the ring Saturday, November 9 when he battles an opponent to be named at the Whitehall Athletic Club in Whitehall, NY. A former WBC Continental Americas Junior Welterweight champion, the all-action Luis holds an excellent 16-1 record with 7 victories coming by way of knockout. On May 17, Luis showed no ill-effects from his lone career defeat, dominating durable Maurycy Gojko over six one-sided frames. Returning to New York State for the first time since his January 25 war with Jose Hernandez on ESPN, Luis believes a victory on November 9 will be another step in the right direction. I cant wait to get back in the ring and explode, said the likable Luis, who also works a full-time job assisting handicapped children and adults. Im 100% physically and mentally. Most importantly, Ive spent time in the gym making improvements and I know that a victory moves me closer to another significant fight. Tonys an excellent talent and I am a firm believer that hes going to be a player in the lightweight division in 2014, said Greg Cohen, Luis promoter. If everything goes as planned on the 9th, youll be seeing Tony in a noteworthy fight in the near future. For tickets or more information, go to Whitehallathleticclub.com or call 518-832-3662.
