Boxer Who KO'd Lennox Lewis to Fight in Winston-Salem, NC, Two WBE World Titles Also on the Line

WINSTON-SALEM, NC /Send2Press Newswire/ -- On April 16, 2005, Oliver "The Atomic Bull" McCall (42-8-0, 31KOs) will face Cornelius Ellis in the Ring of Dreams Fight Night Main Event at the M.C. Benton Jr. Convention Center in Winston-Salem, NC. McCall, best known for winning the WBC World Heavyweight Champion title after knocking out then champion Lennox Lewis in the second round of the 1994 world championship fight, is staging a comeback that he hopes will lead to another world title shot. McCall, who calls this a "tune-up fight," also intends to extend his record of never having been knocked down or knocked out.
