By Eric Baldwin: WBA Super World junior middleweight champion Erislandy “American Dream” Lara (23-2-2, 13 KOs) can’t wait to share the ring with #9 WBA Yuri Foreman (34-2, 10 KOs) this Friday night on January 13 on Premier Boxing Champions on Spike at the Hialeah Park, in Hialeah, Florida.
Lara has been training weeks for this fight, and he’s really looking forward to facing the 36-year-old Foreman, who he has a lot of respect for as a former world champion. Foreman was a world champion in 2010. He lost his title to Miguel Cotto in getting beaten by a 9th round TKO.
