won titles in three other weight
classes. The opponent was ex­
pected to be Sharmba Mitchell, a
former two-time world champion
with a record of 56-4.
If the match comes true, the fight
would be the biggest for Portland
since boxer Roy Jones came to town
three years ago. KGW said an
undercard for the Nov. 19 event
would feature Andre Ward, who
won a Gold medal at the 2(X)4 Olym­
pics.
