July 9, 2009 - PRLog -- Combinations, right hooks and body blows and determinations to beat the count will only bring the power a fighter need take on an opponent and face off as professional boxing comes to The Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center.

Platinum Boxing Promotions, LLC rolls out the red carpet as they make plans to bring professional title fights with well known local names to the City of Columbia. Platinum Boxing Promotions will present “The Clash In The Carolinas” Saturday, August 8th, 2009 at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center located in the Vista at 1101 Lincoln Street, Columbia, South Carolina. Doors will open to the public at 6:00 PM and the first bout will enter the ring at 7:00 PM.

The ring will be ready for an evening of professional boxing at its best. The event will exhibit entertainment, celebrity appearances and seven professional bouts delivered at the sound of the bell leading up to the main event featuring CBO Heavyweight Champion Moultrie Witherspoon . The evening’s undercard will feature Korean superstar Jae-Sung Lee and Columbia’s own Corey Goodwin making his professional debut and more including a female bout with Lisa Bolin of Sharon, SC.

“My goal is to shine a bright light on professional boxing in the southeastern region and deliver professional boxing events that will provide an opportunity for boxers to get their names out there in boxing industry. The city has always been known for other sporting events however professional boxing has always been a struggle to maintain here. I shouldn’t have to travel to Las Vegas to see a good professional fight when we’ve got good fighters right here in the palmetto state,” said Platinum Boxing Promotions promoter DM “Lex” Alexis.

City officials, media, sponsors, boxing fans will have the opportunity to take photos and meet with the fighters at the official weigh-in on Friday, August 7, 2009, at The Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center from 4 PM- 6 PM. This event is free and open to the public.
