Corley-Bailey Rematch in New York on October 22!

There will be a rematch of former WBO Junior Welterweight champions on Wednesday, October 22 at B.B. King's Blues Club in Times Square in New York City. DC's DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley will take on Randall Bailey of Miami Florida in a 10-round co-feature bout.

Corley (31-9-1, 17 KO's) is looking to break a five-bout losing streak that includes his last outing -- an eight-round unanimous decision loss to Ashley Theophane on July 31 in Rochester, NY.

Bailey (37-6, 34 KO's) has won his last two including his last outing -- a first-round knockout over Dario Esalas on August 6 at B.B. Blues Club. Corley also faced Esalas and lost an eight-round split decision in November of 2007 in Tampa, FL. Bailey held the WBO title in 1999.

Corley and Bailey crossed paths on January 4, 2003 at the DC Armory when Corley successfully defended his WBO title with a 12-round unanimous decision.
