ST. PETERSBURG, FL (October 5, 2005) -- U.S. Olympian...IBF champion....IBO champion. Now undefeated world super middleweight champion JEFF "LEFT HOOK" LACY can add "The Ring" cover to his impressive and ever-growing resume.
Lacy, 20-0 (16 KOs), from St. Petersburg, FL, makes his cover debut on the Fall 2005 issue of The Ring where "The Bible of Boxing" touts Lacy for bringing excitement back to the super middleweight division. The issue hits newsstands October 11.
"Left Hook," who won the vacant IBF title by knocking out Syd Vanderpool, October 2, 2004, has successfully defended that title three times over the past 11 months. He added the IBO title to his trophy case when he stopped defending champion Robin Reid in the eighth round of their August 6 title unification bout, in front of over 15,000 fans at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, FL.
The first member of the 2000 U.S. Olympic team to win a world title, Lacy begins the second year of his world championship reign with a title defense against the IBF's No. 5-rated contender, Scott Pemberton, 29-3-1 (24 KOs), Saturday, November 5 at Caesars Tahoe. SHOWTIME Championship Boxing will broadcast it live along with the Rafael Marquez-Silence Mabuza IBF/IBO bantamweight title unification bout.
