By Jeff Aranow: IBO/WBA World junior middleweight champion Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara (23-2-2, 13 KOs) wants to make a big impression on the boxing world when he defends his titles against former 154lb champion Yuri Foreman (34-2, 10 KOs) in less than two weeks from now on January 13 on PBC on Spike.

The Lara-Foreman fight will taking place at the Hialeah Park Racing and Casino in Miami, Florida. Lara wants a knockout over Foreman. You should hope that Lara can accomplish that task, because if he can’t, then it doesn’t say much about the Cuban fighter’s talent. Foreman was stopped in consecutive fights by Pawel Wolak and Miguel Cotto in 2010 and 2011.

By Eric Baldwin: WBA World ‘Super’ junior middleweight champion Erislandy Lara (23-2-2, 13 KOs) will be making his fifth defense of his title next month against former WBA 154lb champion Yuri Foreman (34-2, 10 KOs) on January 13 on Premier Boxing Champions on Spike TV from the Hialeah Park Amphitheater in Hialeah, Florida, according to RingTV.

It’ll be a voluntary defense for Lara, as the 36-year-old Foreman is ranked #10 with the WBA. Foreman is lucky to be ranked that high though, as he’s only fought twice in the last three years. Foreman was out of the sport from 2013 to 2015. He came back in 2015 and he’s beaten Lenwood Dozier (9-9-1) and Jason Davis (13-11-2) since his return.
