wtf?
Banner Promotions' president Art Pelullo has signed former IBF and WBO heavyweight world champion Chris Byrd (40-4-1, 21 KOs) to a promotional contract. Art said today, "I'm very pleased to announce this major signing. I've been a fan and friend of Chris' for a long time, and I'm looking forward very much to working with him. "I think it's going to surprise a lot of people, but Chris - the former two-time heavyweight champ - is going to be fighting at 175 pounds. I think he's going to make some great fights in the division, and I think he's going to win the world championship. "We're going to take the first step towards that goal on May 16 when Chris fights on ESPN's 'Friday Night Fights' at the Cox Pavillion in Las Vegas, in the PH ring sponsored by Planet Hollywood." The 37-year-old Byrd proclaimed he will be dominant at 175.
