‘This world title fight has truly become a huge event in Chicago. Sports fans are excited about the fight between Fonfara and Karpency and also about the sensational undercard. We have an unprecedented 89% winning percentage across the board on this card and fans know their going to see a fantastic evening of professional boxing” said Frank Mugnolo, President of Round 3 Productions.
