Aiken's Opponent Changed!

Boy, how things change in boxing! Of course, if you are a true boxing fan (as all of you are!), you know this to be true.

Eric Aiken's opponent for his bout on December 10 will now be undefeated Rashiem Jefferson of Philadelphia. The bout will also originate from the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Conn. I did hear about this matchup but I thought this bout was changed to the Nunes bout, not from this bout.

Jefferson is 8-0-1 with five KO's. Jefferson last fought on August 25 when he scored a fourth round TKO over Ubaldo Olivencia in New York.

Jefferson may be familiar to some Beltway Boxing fans because he has fought twice at Michael's Eighth Avenue. His pro debut was a Ballroom Boxing bout when he scored a second round TKO over Margarito Lopez on August 3, 2004. Jefferson returned to the Ballroom on Sept 30, 2004 when he battled to a four-round draw with Yamin Mohammad.
