Golden Boy Promotions believes that it is important to report the true facts concerning its 90 day suspension by the New York State Athletic Commission. On July 9, 2010, Golden Boy learned that it had been suspended by the NYSAC for a period of 90 days.  Although Golden Boy respectfully disagrees with one of the Commission's charges - that there was dishonesty on the part of a Golden Boy employee - Golden Boy does acknowledge that a number of significant, but innocent, mistakes were made in failing to make timely responses to legitimate information requests from the NYSAC.  Golden Boy has now made all requested disclosures to the NYSAC.

In the main event WBO light heavyweight world champion Jürgen Brähmer (36-2, 29 KOs) will defend his belt against reigning WBO-Europe champion Alejandro Lakatos (31-5-2, 23 KOs) of Spain. The 36 year old Lakatos had already faced former WBO light heavyweight champions such as Dariusz Michalczewski, Zsolt Erdei and Hugo Hernan Garay. Brähmer who comes off a spectacular win over Nicolas Plotinsky has a KO ratio of 76 % while the Spaniard has a 60 % knockout ratio.  “He’s very experienced, a compact kid, very strong. I saw his fight against “The Tiger” (Dariusz Michelczewski) in 2001 because I boxed on the same event. If I concentrate on outboxing him, nothing should go wrong,” Brähmer said.
