World Boxing Federation (WBF)
Intercontinental Light
Heavyweight Champion Travis
Hanshaw could be in for a tough
time when he takes on Roy King
in hist first title-defense on
July 14 at Boyd County Community
Center in Catlettsburg,
Kentucky, USA.
Hanshaw, 13-1-1 (7), pitched a
shut-out when winning the vacant
title against David Markert last
November, boxing excellently as
he won every round on all three
judges cards. He is expected to
face much more resistance from
King.
Roy King, born in New York but
now residing in Johnson City in
Tennessee, is 10-1-1 (5) since
turning professional four years
ago. A durable and aggressive
campaigner, he has gone
undefeated in his last nine
outings and will surely come to
upset the local favourite.
Also known as “The Rattlesnake”,
26-year-old Hanshaw from
Ashland, only a few miles away
from Catlettsburg, has developed
a good following in Kentucky,
and his return to the ring is
eagerly anticipated by his
followers. They can almost
certainly expect an
action-packed fight on July 14.
Travis Hanshaw´s defense of the
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
Intercontinental Light
Heavyweight title against Roy
King, likely his sternest test
to date, will be the main event
of a show promoted by East Coast
Promotions.
