Chris Johnson trained protege Omri Lowther originally from Atlanta, Georgia now living and fighting out of Mississauga, Ontario will face the toughest challenge of his career when he meets undefeated Brandon Rios of Oxnard, California on November 13th in Dallas, Texas.

Lowther (14-2 10KO’s) will meet the undefeated Rios (25-0-1 18KO’s) at a catchweight of 138lbs. in a bout scheduled for 10 rounds. Adam Harris of Hennessy Sports Canada advised TheBoxingExaminer.com that the last minute bout is scheduled to be part of the PPV broadcast. Unfortunately former Middleweight Champion Kelly “The Ghost” Pavlik sustained a rib injury and was forced to withdraw from the card, but one man’s misfortune turns into another man’s opportunity-of-a-lifetime.

Lowther is coming off a decision loss to Hank Lundy while Rios’ last bout was a 7th round disqualification win over Anthony Peterson. The card will be promoted by Top Rank and will be available throughout Canada on PPV basis.
