JASON SOSA vs. TYRONE LUCKEY HIGHLIGHTS SEPT. 26 PRELIMS ON LEGENDS OF BOXING CARD AT SANDS BETHLEHEM

Bethlehem, PA—Junior lightweight prospect Jason Sosa, of Camden, NJ, coming off four consecutive victories, goes against another hard-hitter when he takes on Tyrone Luckey, of Middletown, NJ, in an eight-round contest on Thursday evening, Sept. 26, at the Sands Bethlehem.

The Sosa-Luckey fight will serve as the semifinal to the scheduled 10-round welterweight main event between Ronald Cruz, of Bethlehem, PA, and Alberto Morales, of Miami, FL. The card is part of a Legends of Boxing program, beginning at 7pm with interviews and boxing highlights of legendary fighters and streamed by www.ustream.tv/universalstreamingnetwork. The live boxing begins at 8 pm.

Sosa, 25, has K0d Georgi Kevlishvili, of , PA; Joseph “Chip” Perez, of New Haven, CT; Isaac Suarez, of Lancaster, PA, and Clinton Douglas, of Philadelphia, PA, to bring his record to 9-1-3, 5 K0s.

A pro since 2009, Sosa lost only by knockout to Treysean Wiggins, of Newburgh, NY, in a fight he accepted, out of shape, on 36 hours’ notice, against a boxer who was two weight classes heavier. clip_image004 Managed by Adrien Soto and Chino Rivas, who also is the trainer, Sosa turned pro in 2009 after losing two out of three amateur fights. A graduate of Sterling (NJ) High School, Sosa does part-time work Camden County Parks and also does volunteer work for the Lion of Judah Church in his neighborhood.

“If Sosa continues to improve, he should be fighting contenders in 2013,” said Rivas. Luckey, 28, turned pro in 2010 and is 5-3-1, 5 K0s.

After knocking out his first four opponents, Luckey (left) lost a close six-round decision to Bryne Green, of Vineland, NJ; drew with Ramon Ellis, of Philadelphia; lost a four-round split decision to Tevin Farmer in a fight where he had Farmer on the floor in the fourth round; knocked out then-unbeaten Bryan Acaba, of Brooklyn, NY, in one round, and lost a six- round to unbeaten Wahid Raheem in the winner’s Philadelphia backyard. “My guy is much better that his recent record,” says manager/trainer Jose Rosario. “This is the kind of fight we need to show people just how good we are.”
