Camacho is out Vladine Biosse is in vs. Peter Manfredo Jr

VLADINE BIOSSE ANSWERS BELL AGAINST MANFREDO JR.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (April 29th, 2016) -- Opportunity knocked, and "Mr. Providence" answered.

With undefeated super middleweight Angel Camacho Jr. sustaining a broken foot, forcing him to withdraw from his upcoming megabout against Rhode Island icon Peter Manfredo Jr., fellow Ocean State veteran Vladine Biosse has answered the call to face Manfredo at Twin River Casino on Friday, May 13th, 2016.

"THE BATTLE FOR THE CAPITAL" between "The Pride of Providence" Manfredo (40-7, 21 KOs) and "Mr. Providence" Biosse (15-7-2, 7 KOs) takes place nearly nine years to the date of Twin River's professional boxing debut, which occurred May 11th, 2007 and starred Manfredo in a knockout win over Ted Muller.

"It's a great opportunity for me to go out there and showcase my talent versus his talent," Biosse said. "It's an honor to share a ring with a man who I've been friends with outside of the ring even before boxing. He's shown me nothing but love, so to go in there and share a ring with a man like that and compete, it feels good."
