1996 Olympian Terrance Cauthen will step in for the ill Derek Ennis and face 2008 Olympian Demetrius Andrade this Friday night at the Mohegan Sun on ESPN 2 according to Dan Rafael of espn.com
Ennis fell ill Monday and was forced to pull out of the elimination bout
“I’m lucky to get a guy with the pedigree of Cauthen on such short notice,” said Star Boxing matchmaker Ron Katz said. “It’s not often you’ll see two former Olympians fighting each other.”
“He’s not happy because he trained six weeks for a right-hander and now he is faced with a completely different style,” Katz said. “But being the type of kid he is, he is stepping up to the plate. Some fighters can be a wuss about it, but he said if it’s what he has to do, it’s what he has to do.”
