Raleigh, NC (August 20, 2016) – Undefeated boxing Phenom, Maynard Allison will be back in action September 16 at The Chelsea in The Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas, NV.
Maynard Allison 5-0 (4 KO’s) will be facing his stiffest test to date in Mayweather Promotions’ Ladarius Miller.
Ladarius Miller 10-1 (2 KO’s) is looking to firmly establish himself in the lightweight division. After convincingly winning nine straight fights, Miller was outboxed by Rolando Chinea. Chinea would win by UD and hand Miller his first professional defeat.
Miller rebounded three months later (5/13/2016) winning by TKO over Carlos Castillo.
Maynard Allison, who is signed to Greg Cohen Promotions (GCP), is highly motivated and chomping at the bit for this fight.

The super talented Maynard Allison has his sites set on becoming a top contender in the Lightweight division. With a win, a strong performance, and behind the heavyweight backing of Greg Cohen Promotions (GCP), Allison’s goals of fame and world title hopes will begin to come to fruition.
