Next Friday, October 5th, Peltz Boxing returns to the New Alhambra in South Philadelphia. Headlining this 7-bout card will be Contender Season 2 star Michael ‘No Joke’ Stewart (42-6, 23 KOs), of New Castle, DE, as he looks to return to his winning ways, taking on a very tough Robert Frankel (20-7, 4 KOs), of Denver, CO. Frankel is very skilled and has a solid chin and will be looking to give the fan-favorite Stewart a stiff test, in this 10-round welterweight war.
Also on the card will be undefeated welterweight KO artist Mike Jones (10-0, 10 KOs) of Philadelphia, who looks for his 11th win inside the distance, as he takes on Richard Hall (10-19, 6 KOs) of North Carolina.
