PHILADELPHIA (SEPTEMBER 23, 2008)—On Friday night October 3rd, one of the best Heavyweights in the world, “Fast” Eddie Chambers will return to the building that helped mold him into the well-respect contender that he has become when he takes on Livin Castillo in the main event of a big night of boxing at The Legendary Blue Horizon in Philadelphia.

This full night of boxing is part of The Legendary Blue Horizon annual Cancer Awareness Night.

Chambers, 31-1 with seventeen knockouts and will be making his first appearance at The Legendary Blue Horizon in two years.

Chambers won seventeen consecutive bouts at The Legendary Blue Horizon from 2002-2006.

“It’s great to be back here.” Said Chambers, “We know Castillo is a good fighter and has fought some top guys but he is in the way of my championship run. I am a much better fighter then the last time I was fighting at The Blue and I plan to display that to both Castillo and the fans who will be watching the fight.”

Chambers, of Philadelphia is ranked number-eight by the IBF and is coming off a sixth round destruction over Raphael Butler on June 20th in The Cayman Islands.

Castillo should provide a test for Chambers as he has been in with former world champions, Jean-Marc Mormeck (Loss-KO 3); Jorge Castro (Loss-KO 4); Oleg Maskaev (Loss-KO 3) & Bruce Seldon (Loss-KO 5)

In the Seldon fight, Castillo opened up a cut on Seldon’s eye and appeared on his way to winning until he got caught in the fifth round.

Castillo, of Atlantic City, New Jersey via Ecuador has a record of 14-5 with nine knockouts and is coming off that setback to Seldon on May 31st in Atlantic City.

Castillo and Chambers have a common opponent as Chambers suffered his only loss to Alexander Povetkin in January where as Castillo was stopped in four by the current IBF mandatory challenger.

The card, promoted Vernoca L. Michael & Blue Horizon Boxing Inc. in association with Goossen-Tutor along with Score America is shaping up to be a full night of excitement as an outstanding undercard has been put together.

In a six round Ladies Jr. Middleweight bout, Ana Ingham of Sweden will make the long trip to Philadelphia to risk her undefeated record of 5-0-1 with one stoppage when she takes on Kimberly Harris of Tampa, Florida.
