“The Fighting Marine”, Kasha Chamblin,
9-1-0 (5KO) will be headlining the Collision at the Coliseum / USA
vs. Croatia on Saturday, August 25 at Blackham Coliseum. Chamblin is
ready for the collision where she will takes on Donna “Nature Girl”
Biggers, 19-5-0 (16KO), of Shelby, North Carolina.
The boxing portion of the card will also feature Lafayette’s world
class and former USA and NABF champion, Jason Papillion. Papillion
(38-12-1 with 25 KOs) is scheduled to box Jeremy Yelton (17-10 with
10KOs). Papillion will be boxing at 147lbs. to prove to the public,
and to “Bad” Chad Broussard that he can make 147lbs.
“This will be
an opportunity to make a statement to my fans and all the boxing
fans of Louisiana. Chad said that I shouldn’t be calling him out for
a fight. Who does he think he is? Is he more important than John L.
Sullivan who was called out by James J. Corbett or Sonny Liston who
was called out by then Cassius Clay, now Muhammad Ali, or Marvin Hagler who was called out by Sugar Ray Leonard or Oscar de la Hoya
who was called out by Floyd Mayweather?
This is a calling out
business and I am calling out “Bad” Chad Broussard. Chad is a
recognized Louisiana Junior Middleweight Champion (154lbs.), but yet
he demands that I box at 147lbs. Well, I will box at 147lbs. and
then he will have no excuses not to box me,” says a very confident
Jason Papillion.
Damir Tovarovic, the “Croatian Sensation”, will be making his pro
debut at the Collision at the Coliseum / USA vs. Croatia. Tavorovic
is 6 ft. 3 in., 230lbs. and is also the former European Super
Heavyweight Champion. He will be making his pro debut in Lafayette.
The “Croatian Sensation” scored over 70KOs in a 93 bout amateur
career and expects to light up the rugged Dunzell Atkins of Monroe,
LA. “I am called the ‘Croatian Sensation’ because I create
excitement when I knock out my opponents. I will knock out Atkins as
quickly as possible and make a sensation in the USA. I feel I can
beat any heavyweight in the world and Lafayette, USA is a great
place to start my career,” said a cocky Tavarovic.
The card will also feature kickboxing, mixed martial arts and the
second professional fight for Kenward “Boo” Bernice of Port Barre,
LA. “Boo” of the reality TV Survivor series will enter the ring with
a record of 1-0 against the “Beast from the East”, Verdan Badun of
Croatia. There will also be 9 other mixed martial art and kickboxing
bouts.
Former #1 pound for pound boxer Roy Jones, Jr. will be in attendance
assisting Jason Papillion and UFC star Spencer “The King” Fisher of
Miletech Fighting Systems, home of 5 UFC champions. Fisher will be
assisting “Boo” with his MMA bout with the “Beast from the East.”
