LOCKPORT — Former U.S. Light Heavyweight Champion Amer Abdallah (8-0) takes on Scott Muller (13-2) for the title at 7 p.m. this Saturday at the Kenan Center Arena.

Abdallah earned this title match with impressive knockout victories over Cleveland’s Jesse Colone in April 2009 and Donnie Pendleton the following August.

The majority of Abdallah’s training for the fight card titled, “Redemption” is taking place at his Lockport Athletic & Fitness Club, with other local clubs being used for sparring.

Abdallah has a huge endorsement with the support of former No. 1-ranked world heavyweight “Baby” Joe Mesi, who’s expected to be ringside on Saturday night.

A training injury led to the postponement of the original Abdallah/Muller fight night on March 20.

Also on the Kenan fight card is Lockport’s Corey Webster, who’s coming off a Silver Medal finish at the New York State Golden Gloves Tournament. He’ll take on Canadian champion Pat Pytlick.

The Local Edge, formerly the Talking Phone Book, is the major sponsor of the event, along with ADPRO Sports.

Doors open at 6 p.m., with the opening bell scheduled for 7 p.m.
