Las Vegas, Nevada- On Friday September 30, 2016, Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions and Neon Star Media return to the Downtown Las Vegas Event Center for the fall edition of “Knock Out Night at the D” on CBS Sports Network.

One of Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions brightest stars, undefeated John “The Phenom” Vera 14-0 (9KO) will be showcased on September 30th. Vera, a 28yr old, Mexican/Puerto Rican, slick southpaw from Ft. Worth Texas will be fighting for the third time this year under the Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions banner.

Vera first fight with Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions took place on February 19, 2016 in Sloan, Iowa at the WinnaVegas Resort and Casino where he defeated Ghanaian veteran, Ayi Bruce 23-13 (15KO) by TKO4 on CBSSN. Vera would then follow that up three months later in Las Vegas, Nevada when he defeated Joey Ruelas 10-1 (6KO) from Phoenix, Arizona by TKO6 for the NABA-US Championship at 154lbs also on CBSSN.

 John Vera will take another substantial leap up in competition when he takes on the former WBC Mediterranean and IBF Youth Middleweight Champion, Milorad “Micko” Zizic 12-1 (6KO) in an 8rd bout. Zizic hails from Montenegro by way of Las Vegas, Nevada.

 Vera is confident that a victory on September 30th would crack him into the top 15 by the WBA and place him in a position to face some of the notable names and veterans at 154lbs

“We are hopeful that another dominate performance on CBSSN will propel John to possibly being featured on premium cable,” stated Guy Taylor, matchmaker for Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions “If all goes well on September 30th, we would love to get John one more defense of his NABA title, maybe in his hometown of Ft. Worth TX later this year and start out strong for 2017. We anticipate 2017 to be the breakout year for “The Phenom” as a new face to watch in the 154lb division.”

“KnockOut Night at the D” is promoted by Roy Jones Jr. Boxing and presented by the D Casino and Hotel and aired LIVE on CBS Sports Network.
