PRESS RELEASE-PHILADELPHIA (August 31, 2010)—Fresh off his dominant unanimous decision victory over Omri Lowther on just four days notice, highly regarded Lightweight “Hammerin” Hank Lundy wants the world to know that despite an appearance of promoter Jimmy Burchfield at the fight, that Lundy is a promotional free agent.
Last Wednesday in Federal Court in Philadelphia, Lundy was granted his contractual release. Lundy then was able to secure the fight in Montreal with the help of Brian Cohen, who is the son of Lundy’s manager, Ivan Cohen.
“Burchfield knows that what we have is a standing release from him. “, said Ivan Cohen
“In fact it was my son Brian who made the fight in Montreal and Burchfield somehow wound up with the money Brian should have received for making that fight. This is just another indication of how this man works and what we have been saying for the past month is the real truth.”
“What Hank did the other night show’s what kind of fighter he is. He took a fight on four days’ notice. We jumped on a plane to Montreal and won every round against a quality fighter. With everything that has been going around him, starting with the loss to Molina and now this contract situation, he showed true professionalism and we feel that the loss to Molina is just a blip on the radar and we will be back knocking on the door of a world title real soon.”
