FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PHILADELPHIA (NOVEMBER 30, 2009)—This Friday night, Steve Upsher Chambers will take on Doel Carrasquillo in the eight round main event at The Legendary Blue Horizon.

Chambers and Carraquillo will headline on the Annual Children’s Holiday night. Fans are encouraged to bring gifts to give to the less fortunate

Chambers has been coming along very nicely as he unbeaten in his last seventeen (16-0, 1 NC) bouts. Chambers is starting to make his own name as he fought side by side with his brother, and number-one ranked heavyweight in the world, “Fast” Eddie Chambers.

Chambers, 20-1-1 with six knockouts knew this time would be coming where he would be on top of the bill.

“I’m excited for this moment”, said Chambers

“I never intended to be in Eddie’s shadow the whole time. I compare this situation to Roy Jones and Derrick Gainer where Derrick would be on Roy’s cards and eventually branched out and won a world title for himself”

When asked if there is any pressure, being that Eddie has accomplished so much, Steve is eager to equal or better those accolades.

“I like the pressure. It means that I am approaching on being somebody. If there is no pressure it means that nobody cares.”

“I am so blessed to be alongside Eddie. If not for him, I know it would have been harder to get noticed. For the longest time he was driving the bust and I was right behind him in the front seat. Now I feel we are both steering the bus.”

“I know I can go out and beat these guys. People saw me and were surprised in my last fight about the power that I now have. I had some time off and with my new strength and condition coach Hasaan Watler, people are going to see that dimension to my game more and more.”

When asked about his opponent, Doel Carrasquillo (12-12-1, 10 KO’s), Chambers was very confident in facing this very experienced opponent.

“I think he tries to be a tough guy and walk you down. I defiantly can see that he can punch a little bit but I will be more than ready for anything he tries to give on Friday night.”

In the co-feature, Philadelphia Middleweight, Gee Cullmer (16-1, 3 KO’s) takes on Loren Myers (7-7, 2 KO’s) of Fresno, CA in a scheduled eight round bout.
