Anthony, 26-0, and his older brother Lamont, 24-0, signed with Top Rank last month. They are top performers in the ring and their Top Rank debut is much anticipated. Anthony will fight at The Orleans Arena on June 26, while Lamont will be in his first Top Rank bout on the Ricardo Torres vs. Kendall Holt 'No Excuses' rematch on July 5 at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. Anthony and Lamont have been training for weeks in Vero Beach, Fla.

The Orleans fight card is loaded with top young future stars including USA Olympian Vanes Martirosyan, a brutally-tough, hard-hitting super welterweight who is on a path towards a world title fight. Martirosyan, from Glendale, Ca., is one of the top young fighters on the Top Rank roster.

Top Rank matchmaker Brad Goodman put together a scorching undercard bout featuring unbeaten Mikey Garcia of Ventura, Ca against Jae-Sung Lee of Hanam, Korea. Lee is promoted by Pearl Kim of New York. She said a number of Korean fight fans and officials will be at the event. The super featherweight bout is set for 8 rounds.

Las Vegas fan favorite Diego Magdaleno, handled by 'Manager of the Year' Cameron Dunkin and trained by Pat Barry and Augie 'Kid Vegas' Sanchez, will be featured on the undercard. Magdaleno is a skilled, tactically-sound young prospect who strikes with power.

Also appearing will be the popular Alex Mercado, a tough unbeaten Las Vegas prospect who trains at Barry's Boxing Gym.

Doors will open at 5 pm and the first bell will be at 5:15 pm.
