In a February 11th IBF eliminator at Bally’s Atlantic City, heavyweights Eddie Chambers (35-2, 18 KOs) and Derrick Rossy (25-2, 14 KOs) will meet in a rematch of their 2007 encounter.
In their first bout, Chambers stopped Rossy via TKO in the seventh round. Since that defeat, Rossy has gone 10-1, with his lone defeat coming via TKO 5 to Alexander Dimitrenko in 2008. In that same period of time, Chambers has had some solid wins over Dimitrenko, Sam Peter, and Calvin Brock, but has come up short in his biggest contests: against Wladimir Klitschko (TKO 12) in March of this year and against Alexander Povetkin (UD 12) in 2008.
Junior featherweight prospect, Rico Ramos (18-0, 10 KOs), will also be on the card.
