Start your week off with a bang – Monday, November 24, 2008
 
 

On November 24, 2008, catBOX Entertainment will present professional boxing at Remington Park Racing and Casino. The fights will start at 7:00p.m. This will be the fourth fight card promoted by catBOX Entertainment at Remington Park Racing and Casino located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

For the MAIN EVENT, two undefeated boxers battle in a championship bout for the Oklahoma Lightweight Title. Lightweights Noah Zuhdi (4-0, 4 KOs) and George Colbert (2-0, 2 K0s) will be fighting to win and claim the current vacant Oklahoma Lightweight title belt. Sanctioned by the Oklahoma Boxing Commission, the bout is scheduled for six rounds and is certain to be an exciting match up between these two popular Oklahoma boxers. "Getting to fight for the Oklahoma Lightweight Title is a tremendous opportunity,” Zuhdi stated. “A victory on November 24 would allow me to be one step closer to accomplishing my ultimate goal of becoming a world champion.”

Welterweight local favorite Kyle Sherman (10-1-1), who routinely delivers an exciting match, will also be fighting on the card. Sherman’s last fight at Remington Park was a slugfest that had the crowd on its feet and went the distance.

Three heavyweight bouts are also scheduled. Former OKC Blazer’s hockey player Ron Aubrey (2-2, 2KOs), known as the enforcer to the hockey world, will be making his third appearance at Remington Park. In the ice ring, Aubrey instigated, fought and won more fights than any other hockey player in the nation. In the boxing ring, Aubrey has won two fights and lost two fights. Aubrey’s next fight will determine whether or not he’ll get back on the winning track. Undefeated heavyweight boxer Dustin Morrison (6-0, 6 K0s) from Tahlequah, Oklahoma will fight in a four round bout. In yet another heavyweight match up, Ty Cobb (1-0) from Wichita Falls, Texas will fight. Both Morrison and Cobb's opponents TBA.

Before the Main Event and as a special treat for fight fans, the University of Oklahoma Color Guard will be present for the singing of God Bless America by recording artist Darla Z. Darla Z has opened in concert for country legend Willie Nelson, performed numerous times to sold out crowds at Sam’s Town Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, and recently appeared in concert with Wayne Newton.
