 SUPER CHANNEL to air Toronto’s TROY ROSS
IBF World Title Clash LIVE from Germany
 EDMONTON (May 13, 2010) –
Super Channel, Canada’s only national pay television network is pleased to announce it will air Troy Ross vs. Steve “USS” Cunningham LIVE in vivid HD Saturday, June 5 at 1 p.m. ET.
Canada’s Ross (23-1, 16 KOs), a two-time Olympian, best known for winning the 2009 edition of “The Contender” reality series, takes on former Cruiserweight World Champion Steve “USS” Cunningham direct from Neubrandenburg, Germany.
“This is a chance of a lifetime for Troy and we are confident he will win the title,” said Yvon Michel of GYM promotions. “With the fight being in Germany we believe it will be an even playing field for both.”
Michel said Ross was not concerned about traveling for the bout because three of his “Contender” bouts took place in Singapore and he has fought around the world as an amateur.
“He is very skilled, powerful and mature,” Michel said of Ross. “We know Steve Cunningham and we have a lot of respect for him. It is going to be a very spectacular and contested fight but Troy will prevail.”
Added Michel: “We are very pleased that we were able to come to an agreement with Super Channel to broadcast such a fantastic world championship event. It is great to see that Super Channel continues to support Canadian fighters and boxing as a whole.”
In the other co-main event bout, also to be aired on Super Channel, IBF Middleweight Champion Sebastian Sylvester faces mandatory challenger Roman Karmazin. The undercard features heavyweights – Oleg Platov vs Kubrat Pulev.
