Melson’s Next Bout Moved to December 17

New York, NY (November 14, 2011) – Do to unforeseen circumstances, junior middleweight Boyd “Rainmaker” Melson’s bout scheduled for Thursday evening is cancelled.

Melson, 6-0 (3 KO’s), was slated to fight at North Bergen, NJ’s Schuetzen Park, but will now be fighting December 17 on the Andre Ward-Carl Froch undercard at Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall.

“I’m disappointed that I won’t be fighting because I am in great shape and won’t have another check to donate to help the Clinical Trial,” said Melson, an Army Reserve Captain and 2008 Olympic Alternate selection. “I was looking forward to fighting close to home, but at the same time, I’m excited to be on another big card in Atlantic City.”

All tickets purchased from Melson are fully refundable and updates on his December 17 bout will be available shortly.
