Lewis "The Beast" Rumsey, set to make his pro debut at Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge III this Friday, just put out a message on mmamelee:
"Dnt kno if i­ got an oppe­nent yet."
Say tuned.

I talked with Mark Jovich, owner and matchmaker of the Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge. With two successful events in York Township at Wisehaven Banquet Hall, Jovich moved his end of the year show to a bigger venue, the Lancaster Convention Center. Mark said at this point, things are going well for the Oct. 23 event, ticket sales are brisk, and the card is complete. We've got a lot of local, exciting fighters on the card, so it no doubt will be a great show. Looks like 19 fights, including the return of local pro Biff Walizer.
