"Clarence Vinson is boxing's biggest 'small package.'" added DiBella. "He is definitely a championship- caliber fighter in his division, and has continued to improve with each fight.
"Yuri Foreman is on a collision course with the junior middleweight title," wrapped up DiBella. "He has tremendous skills, and because of his amateur background, is experienced beyond his years."
