Zab Judah, the former Undisputed Welterweight and Junior Welterweight Champion will continue his comeback trail to the junior welterweight title as he takes on Michael “Cold Blood” Clark on October 2nd at Newark’s spectacular Prudential Center Arena.
A veteran of “The Contender” boxing series, Clark has been on a winning streak since his 2007 fight with top ten prospect, Mike Alvarado, was stopped due to a hand injury. In his most recent bout, Clark won a unanimous decision against Jason Pires in May. “Cold Blood” came to Judah’s attention when he approached Judah’s promoters and asked for the bout.
“We contacted representatives of just about everyone among the top 20 junior welterweights in the US and abroad and offered them a fight with Zab” Promoter Kathy Duva of Main Events said. “They all turned us down. Michael Clark, on the other hand, called up and asked for the fight. You’ve got to admire and reward that kind of passion and confidence. Michael Clark is certain that he can beat Zab Judah and he wants to come to Newark and prove it.”
“I have all the respect in the world for Michael Clark because he is willing to come to the Prudential Center to face me,” said Judah, whose “Super Judah Promotions” is also co-promoter of the bout. “The top junior welterweights want no part of Zab Judah. We had a great night in Newark this summer and expect to give the fans an even greater night in October. Zab Judah is all the way back!”
Over 4,000 motivated fans turned out at “The Rock” for Judah’s return to the ring in July when Judah scored another highlight reel knock out over Jose Armando Santa Cruz.
Tickets priced at $53, $78, $103 and $203 (ringside) can be purchased at Prudential Center Box Office, by calling TicketMaster at 800-745-3000 or www.Prucenter.com.
