Tony Harrison vs. Bryan Perrella Headline April 17 FOX PBC Card

Former WBC Super Welterweight World Champion Tony “Superbad” Harrison (28-3, 21 KOs) will enter the ring to face hard-hitting southpaw Bryant “Goodfella” Perrella (17-3, 14 KOs) in the super welterweight main event of FOX PBC Fight Night and on FOX Deportes Saturday, April 17 from Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles.

“Due to the pandemic, we’ve lost a lot of people over the last year, including my father Ali Salaam, and I’m dedicating this fight and the rest of my career to him,” said Harrison. “My father was always there in my corner, and I’ll continue with him right by my side spiritually. But my brother L.J. is my head trainer now and we’re working hard to prepare for a tough fighter in Perrella. I’m coming off the longest layoff of my career, so I’m just excited to get back in action. The realest fighter in the game is coming back and I’m glad we’re going to be bringing this fight to everyone on free TV on FOX. This fight will be fireworks and I’ll be looking out for whenever it’s execution time. When I see the opportunity, I’ll knock his head off and put it on my mantle.”

“I’ve made big changes in my game and they will reflect a more proficient fighter when I step in against Tony Harrison,” said Perrella. “I don’t care about status or resume heading into this fight. I’m coming to do what I do best, and that’s dominate. I can’t wait to get in there and perform on April 17.”

The card will also feature undefeated rising contender Omar “El Relampago” Juarez (10-0, 5 KOs) stepping up versus veteran Jessie Roman (22-4, 11 KOs) in the 10-round super lightweight co-main event. The telecast opener will see the return of sensational prospect Vito Mielnicki Jr. (8-0, 5 KOs) against James Martin (6-2) in an eight-round welterweight matchup.
