DEMETRIUS ANDRADE

Fresh of his first round annihilation of Tom Joseph in his ESPN2 "Friday Night Fights" debut on March 6th, the 2007 amateur world champion and 2008 U.S. Olympian Demetrius "Boo Boo" Andrade (3-0, 3KO) will be back in action on this weeks edition of Friday Night Fights when he takes on fellow unbeaten Arnulfo Javier Romero (2-0) in a four round jr. middleweight contest. The bout will be the opening fight of the ESPN2 broadcast and is scheduled to go on the air at 9:30 PM ET. The bout is promoted by Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing and Banner Promotions and will take place at the Laredo Entertainment Center in Laredo, TX.

Andrade has been sensational each time out, impressing any and all that have had the chance to witness the young star in the making. ESPN.com's boxing analyst Dan Rafael had this to say about the young phenom's last performance on the Star Boxing promoted show March 6th at the Mohegan Sun Resort and Casino. "Look at Andrade's physical gifts. The former amateur champion has blazing hand speed, terrific size for a junior middleweight and obvious power. A 4-year-old could watch him fight and realize instantly that he has loads of talent." Rafael enthusiastically went on to say "Having barely broken a sweat, Andrade will be back on "Friday Night Fights" on March 20th. Can't wait."

"It is great to get back into the ring this soon after my last fight," stated Andrade. "What makes it even better is that I am going to have another chance to showcase my skills on the national level. I want to thank my promoters for continuing to give me these great opportunities at such an earlier stage in my career" (Andrade's fight on the 20th will mark the third time in his four pro fights he will be seen on national T.V.).

"2009 is going to be a busy year for me. I am very focused and very hungry right now and I'm looking to put on another great showing this Friday. Don't blink or you might miss it!"
