For Immediate Release

If former heavyweight champion Chris Byrd intends to resurrect his career in his move down to light heavyweight, he’ll first have to beat hungry contender Shaun George 16-2-2 (7 KO’s). The two will battle at Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas on May 16th. The bout will be aired on ESPN 2’s Friday Night Fights. George, a native of Brooklyn, N.Y., will be this week’s featured guest on The Ringside Boxing Show, which airs every Sunday, worldwide via the Internet at www.knry.com at 9 a.m. Pacific time, noon Eastern.

Byrd, 40-4-1 (21 KOs) won the WBO and IBF titles as an undersized fighter in a division where he was regularly fending off 250 lb opponents. He’ll be fighting below the heavyweight division for the first time since 1994. Recent guests on The Ringside Boxing Show have included Angelo Dundee, Riddick Bowe, Carlos Palomino, Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero, Steve “USS” Cunningham, David Diaz, Jack Mosley, and Shannon Briggs, among many others.
