Edner Cherry to Face Omar Douglas on PBC on FS1 Card April 4

Mike SloanMar 22, 2017

Former world title challenger Edner Cherry has been given another crack at viability as he’ll be headlining the PBC on FS1 “Toe-To-Toe Tuesdays” card April 4. Cherry will take on rising contender Omar Douglas in a 10-round lightweight bout that will take place inside Sands Bethlehem Events Center in Bethlehem, Pa.

Televised coverage begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT and features an eight-round battle between unbeaten featherweight prospects Stephen Fulton (10-0, 5 KOs) and Luis Rosario (8-0-1, 7 KOs). Rounding out the broadcast will be local super featherweight Frank DeAlba (21-2-2-, 9 KOs) against Ryan Kielczweski (26-2, 8 KOs) in an eight-rounder.

“I have to give Omar Douglas credit for taking this fight,” said Cherry (35-7-2, 19 KOs). “We're both very hungry, so I think this is going to be entertaining for the fans. Omar is coming off of a loss so I know he needs this win. We both come with speed and power. It's going to be fireworks on April 4.”

“I'm looking forward to a great fight on April 4,” said Douglas (17-1, 12 KOs). “I have a good experienced opponent in front of me. This fight will show my full arsenal, because I know he's going to bring pressure. I can box or come forward. I plan to use my jab to win rounds and get this victory.”
