Philadelphia , PA (November 19, 2015)–This Friday night, November 20, King’s Promotions will present a big night of professional boxing at the 2300 Arena in South Philadelphia.

In the main event, Frank De Alba (16-1-2, 6 KO’s) of Reading, PA will take on Jesus Lule (7-14-1, 1 KO) of Fort Myers, FL in a 6-round Jr. Lightweight bout.

In the 6-round co-feature, undefeated Super Middleweight prospect, Antowyan Aikens of Atlantic City, NJ will take on fellow undefeated Tahir Thomas (4-0, 3 KO’s) of Salisbury, Maryland.

Aikens, who has had several occurrences of being inactive, will be making his first start under the King’s Promotions banner.

“This is a big opportunity to fight for King’s Promotions. I know I will keep active and in the next year I expect four to five fights and hopefully end up with a ShoBox kind of fight,” said 26 year-old Aikens.

“I look forward to a good fight on Friday as it will be my first in Philadelphia.”

Said King’s Promotions Marshall Kauffman, “Antowyan is a interesting prospect. He is tall and is already a good boxer. We feel that he will grow into his power and he has a chance to do a lot of great things in his career.”
