Galvan and Mobley set to come out of retirement for their former boss and Findley makes long awaited return
October 23 (Merrillville, In) – Some of the biggest and most familiar names from the world of boxing are set to make their highly anticipated returns to an One In A Million Boxing, Inc. fight card which has been dubbed “A Fight To Remember: A Tribute To Octavius James.” Derrick “Superman” Findley enters the ropes, following his Showtime showdown with Andre Dirrell back in March, against proven and rugged Roberto Florentino. While both Ruben “Modern Day Warrior” Galvan and “Marvelous” Shay Mobley lace the gloves up for their longtime friend and boss Octavius James, the man who managed their professional careers and impacted their personal lives, for the first time since retiring respectively. Former Indiana Boxing Association lightweight champion Galvan had an incredible career under the tutelage of James. The now 37 year-old looks to show that he still has all the skills that made him a main event staple against Leroy “Rootin’ Tootin” Newton; Galvan and Newton battled six rounds for a draw in 2007. Mobley will also be stepping out of retirement at the age of 32 years-old to honor James, this marks the marvelous ones first fight since November of 2008 as he squares off against the always sensational Cedric Johnson. Johnson was last seen on an O.I.A.M. card against “Iron” Orphius Waite and the pair put on a card stealing six-round war. “With the likes of Mobley, Galvan and Findley being added to a card that already has Ed Ochoa and Jimmy Holmes, it’s going to be an incredible night to say the least,” said President/C.E.O. of One In A Million Boxing, Inc. Tyree Ortiz. “Everyone is excited about the opportunity to fight on this night to honor the man who put this whole company where it is today,” Ortiz added. “It is truly an honor for all involved to put this together and those in attendance will fall back in love One In A Million Boxing.” One In A Million Boxing will also be raiding Cagney’s in Hobart
