CHESTER, W.Va. -- Austintown heavyweight boxer Chris Koval has been added to tonight's seven-bout pro boxing card at Mountaineer Race Track and Gaming Resort,
Koval (18-1, 15 knockouts) will fight Carlos "Psycho" Bates (30-20, 14 knockouts) from Indianapolis in a six rounder.
This will be Koval's 19th fight in the 18 months since he's turned pro.
"This isn't a problem for me since I only took three days off after my fight June 27th at the Eastwood Expo Center," Koval said. "I have been running and in the gym with several days of sparring, so I am ready to go."
Pat Nelson, Koval's manager, said, "Bates is a hard-nosed trial horse who will give Chris a ring test."
