CHESTER, WV — IBA World Junior Lightweight Champion Monty Meza-Clay, 20-1 (13 KO's) of Rankin, PA will face Dean White, 13-4-1 (6 KO's)of Reston, VA in a Main Event Junior Lightweight bout on August 3 at Mountaineer Casino Racetrack and Resort . Meza-Clay is coming off his first professional loss during which he was stopped in the 11th round by Edner Cherry in a nationally broadcasted bout. He fought at a higher weight for that bout, but returns to the Junior Lightweight class for this bout.

White is coming off a draw with (14-0) Nick Cassal in Las Vegas. White has only been stopped once in his career, which was six years ago.

The Co-Feature will pit "Dangerous" Jim Northey, 11-1 (8 KO's) of Brookeville, PA against Zack Page 10-7 (4 KO's) of Warren, Ohio in a 10-round West Virginia Cruiserweight Championship fight. Northey is coming back down from the Heavyweight division after stunning 7-1-1 Nicolai Firtha by stopping him in two rounds. Northey has not lost in five years. Page earned this shot at the vacated title by decisioning Jeremy Bates (21-9) in a title eliminator contest.

Verquan Kimbrough 14-1 (7 KO's) of Aliquippa, PA will face Leo Martinez, 8-8 (4 KO's) of Columbus, Ohio in an 8-round Lightweight bout. This marks Kimbrough's first bout since his unsuccessful bid to capture the IBA Featherweight World Championship when he was stopped by Jose Gonzalez. Kimbrough will be fighting at the 135 lb. limit of Lightweight, moving up two weight classes. Martinez is a very durable opponent who has been stopped only once as a pro. He has a decision win over current IBF World Featherweight Champion Eric Aiken.

A six-round Heavyweight match will pit Brian Minto 25-1 (14 KO's) of Butler, PA against Andy Sample, 34-13-2 (22 KO's) of Topeka, Kansas. Minto is coming off of two nationally televised wins over Danny Batchelder , 24-1-1, and Billy Zumbrun, 19-6-1. Sample is a bigger man at 6'4", 235 lbs. and should be a formidable opponent.

Also on the card is a four-round female featherweight bout pitting Leslee "Long Play" Perella, 3-1-1(2 KO's), of Pittsburgh, PA against Melinda Woody, 1-1 (0 KO's), of Cleveland, Tennessee.
