Frank Wood’s New July 29 Opponent Derrick Brown

Nashville heavyweight Frank Wood is now scheduled to face New Yorker Derrick “D-Train” Brown on July 29th in “Hold Nothing Back!” -- headlined by the return of five-time world champion Roy Jones, Jr. challenging North American Boxing Organization light heavyweight champion Prince Badi “The Boxing Prince” Ajamu -- at the Qwest Arena in Boise, Idaho.

Wood (26-3, 18 KOs), the reigning Mid-South heavyweight title-holder, hasn’t lost in nearly four years, winning his last seven fights in a row. Proposed fights against Chauncy Welliver and Saul Montana fell through and Brown (12-2-1, 10 KOs), managed by former great women’s world champion Christy “Coalminer’s Daughter” Martin, is Wood’s new opponent in a 10-round Special Heavyweight Attraction.

“Hold Nothing Back!” -- presented by Xyience, Inc. in association with Sports and Entertainment Media, Inc. -- will be broadcast live in North America on cable and satellite PPV beginning at 9 PM ET/6 PM PT. The event is being produced and distributed for North American Pay Per View by Integrated Sports and will be available in more than 50-million homes in the United States and Canada via InDemand, TVN, DirecTV & Dish Network in the US and Viewer’s Choice & Bell ExpressVu in Canada. The suggested retail price for the PPV telecast is only $24.95.

Hall of Fame bound Jones (49-4, 38 KOs) has been world champion in four different weight classes, ranging from middleweight up to heavyweight. His much-anticipated comeback after 10 months away from the ring is against Prince Badi (25-2-1, 14 KOs), who is rated No. 6 by the World Boxing Council and No. 7 by the World Boxing Organization.

In other fights, Kenny Keene (51-3, 28 KOs) fights ex-International Boxing Federation champion “King” Arthur Williams (42-14-1, 29 KOs) in a 10-round Special Cruiserweight Attraction; former IBF light heavyweight champion William “KO King” Guthrie (33-3-2, 26 KOs) squares off against Luke Munsen (19-5, 13 KOs) in a 12-round title fight for the vacant IBF International cruiserweight belt; unbeaten Crow Creek Sioux cruiserweight Shawn Hawk (11-0, 8 KOs) rated No. 19 by the North American Boxing Association, faces Doug “The Kid” Kaluza (17-5-1, 10 KOs) in an eight-round match.
