IBF Title on the Line at Friday Night Fights August 27

Dover, DE, July 09, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Dover Downs Hotel & Casino will host the IBF North American Junior Middleweight Title Fight as part of the Friday Night Fight series on August 27 in the Rollins Center ballroom. Fights begin at 7:30 p.m. Terrance “Heat” Cauthen (35-6, 9 KOs) of Trenton, N.J., will face off against Ahmad “Babyface” Kaddour (22-2-1, 9 KOs) of Aarhus, Denmark, in this long-awaited, 12-round match.

An action-packed under card features a heavyweight bout with massive Amir “Hardcore” Mansour of Wilmington, Del., who will re-enter the ring with a stellar 9-0 record, 6 KOs. Mansour intends to prove his talent when he crosses the ropes again for the first time since 2001. “Nobody can match my speed, my size. I’ve got a Lamborghini body, blessed with good genes. I am in better shape now than at 28.”
