Curry to Fight at Country Club
- Share via
Former world welterweight champion Donald Curry, making his first appearance since losing a championship bout last summer, will be featured in a 10-round main event next month at The Country Club in Reseda, according to matchmaker Larry Goossen.
Curry (27-2) was knocked out by Mike McCallum in Las Vegas in July. McCallum, defending his World Boxing Assn. junior-middleweight title, stopped Curry cold in the fifth round with a knockout that was delivered by way of a monstrous left hook.
Nearly a year earlier, Curry, who lives in Fort Worth, Tex., had lost his welterweight title to Lloyd Honeyghan.
Curry’s opponent on the Dec. 8 Country Club card has not yet been named.
That will be the second Country Club fight night in a two-week span. Next Tuesday, Tim Williams will defend his California middleweight title in a 12-round main event against Roberto Rosiles at the Reseda site.
