MEDIA REMINDER!!!!
TORONTO, ON (Monday, August 30, 2010) – If two-time world champion “The Canadian Kid” Steve Molitor (32-1, 12 KO’s) has a home away from home, it would be the United Kingdom. In November of 2006 he captured the IBF Junior Featherweight with a 5th round KO over Michael Hunter, in Hartlepool, and is 3-0 in Great Britain as a professional. But on September 11th, at Sunderland, against Jason Booth (35-5, 15 KO’s) Molitor’s return to the UK will be anything but a homecoming.
Molitor, who’s last ten fights have been in the friendly confines of Casino Rama, in Rama, Ontario, will face not only a hostile crowd – including former Super Middleweight world champ Carl Froch, who pledged his support for Booth – everywhere he turns, but a fighter looking to avenge a loss suffered by brother Nicky Booth in September of 2002.
The fight, billed as “Redemption,” has caught the interest of Sky Sports, who will not only be broadcasting the event, but also producing a documentary styled a la HBO’s 24/7.
But before Molitor makes his way over to the UK, he has a special media workout planned for TOMORROW, Tuesday, August 31, and will conduct one-on-one interviews following his training session.
