Another world champion slated to appear on a future Premier Boxing Champions on DAZN card in the fall is WBA junior welterweight titlist Gary Antuanne Russell.
Washington’s Russell, 19-1 (17 KOs), was due to attend Thursday’s formal news conference announcing the union along with PBC champions Rolly Romero, Sebastian Fundora, Brandon Figueroa and Jose Salas Reyes, but he missed his flight.
Russell’s older brother and trainer, former featherweight champion Gary Russell Jnr, did attend the session and said his brother will return to the ring soon.
