Giuriceo, Hazimihalis ready for fights in Pittsburgh

After a couple promising fights didn’t materialize, welterweight boxer Jake Giuriceo could have used his four-month layoff as a chance to get frustrated.

Instead, he used it as a chance to get better.

Giuriceo (6-0-1, 2 KOs), whose nickname “The Bull” offers a pretty good description of his fighting style, will climb back in the ring on Wednesday when he fights Indiana native Sam Gibson (2-4-2) on the undercard of the “Summer Brawl” at the Heinz Field VIP tent in Pittsburgh.

Campbell native Chris Hazimihalis (2-0, 2 KOs) will also fight on the undercard, meeting Oswaldo Lopez Escobedo (2-5), a Mexican fighter who lives in La Porte, Ind.
