CHESTER, PA (December 4, 2014)- This Friday night at Harrahs Philadelphia, undefeated Omar Douglas will take on the battle tested Osnel Charles and one of the featured undercard of a six bout card.

Douglas of Wilmington, Delaware has a record of 12-0 with 9 knockouts is primed and ready for the bout as he got solid preparation for the fight.

“Training went well.  I have been getting decent sparring with Raymond Serrano and Jason Sosa and I am ready for Friday night,” said Douglas.

In Charles, he is fighting a guy who is better then his 10-11-1 record would indicate as he has wins over Zachary Smith (4-1), Danny McDermott (8-2-1) & two wins over Philly fan favorite Victor Vasquez.

“We fought in the amateurs.  I won a decision” said Douglas.  “I have known him for a long time.  He has been around.  I just want to get through this with an impressive victory.  I just want to move on.  I am focused as I fight every fight like it’s a world title bout.”

Douglas believes that 2015 is a potentially big year for himself as he gets into contention for big fights.

“I hope to be 16 or 17-0 by this time next year.  The more I fight and busier I am will make me better.  I just signed with Al Haymon and I know he will keep me busy.  I want to impress with a knockout.  If I continue to do that, I will be known as one of those top prospects.”

“I will show everybody that I have a lot of speed, smarts and ring savvy.  I dedicate everything I do to boxing.”
