Undefeated WBC Super Lightweight Champion Timothy Ray Bradley, Jr., completed his mandated 30-day weight check at the Boys and Girls Club in Indio, California, in preparation for his championship defense against Edner Cherry, Saturday, September 13. Bradley weighed in well below the limit at 152 lbs.

“This is my first title defense and I am preparing as good as ever - I have ownership of this title and Cherry will know it and feel it when he steps into the ring with me,” said Bradley who is co-promoted by Thompson Boxing Promotions and Gary Shaw Productions. “I’m aware that Cherry is a dangerous opponent that likes to come forward but I know how to deal with it. His fighting style and how I handle my business in the ring will make it a very exciting fight.”

“There is one thing for certain, no matter what, my belt’s not going anywhere. It’s staying with me,” said Bradley.

The main event of the world championship doubleheader features Lightweight World Champion Nate Campbell vs. Joan Guzman for Campbell’s International Boxing Federation (IBF), World Boxing Organization (WBO) and World Boxing Association (WBA) 135-pound titles. The Bradley-Cherry fight is being presented by Gary Shaw Productions and Thompson Boxing Promotions. The main event is being promoted by Don King Productions from a venue to be determined.
