By Boxing News April 20th, 2008REPLAY WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK
BUCHAREST, Romania—A Worldwide Web replay of Saturday’s excellent showdown between undefeated Adrian Diaconu and Chris Henry will be available beginning tonight at 7 p.m. ET at DonKingTV.com and can be accessed with a simple click at any time thereafter for the following week.
Diaconu won a close, unanimous decision to become the interim World Boxing Council light heavyweight champion in a match staged at the Sala Polivalenta in Bucharest, Romania.
Diaconu (25-0, 15 KOs), born in Romania and now fighting out of Montreal, had been the WBC mandatory challenger at the 175-pound weight limit and was to have faced WBC champion Chad Dawson during a Don King-promoted fight card on Sept. 29 at ARCO Arena in Sacramento, Calif. Diaconu was forced to bow out two weeks prior to that contest after suffering a hand injury that included bone contusions and soft tissue damage.
