Welterweights Dusty Hernandez-Harrison and Thomas Cornflake LaManna have engaged in heated sparring sessions, but now the young fighters will throw down for real.Hernandez-Harrison, 22, of Washington, D.C., and LaManna, 24, of Millville, New Jersey, will meet in a scheduled 10-round fight on Sept. 15 in the main event of a CBS Sports Net-televised card at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, organizers announced Monday. They are both popular draws in their home regions but will fight on neutral turf.This is the kind of fight boxing needs at this juncture, Hall of Fame promoter and matchmaker Russell Peltz said. We have two young prospects at the same level meeting in a logical location -- New Jersey against Washington, D.C., in Philadelphia. Boxing needs more fights like this in this kind of setting. This is the best fight for each of these fighters at this point of their careers.Hernandez-Harrison (29-0-1, 16 KOs), who is promoted by Jay Zs Roc Nation Sports, had a rough time in his past bout, being held to a split draw by Mike Dallas Jr. on May 13 in Washington in a fight that many felt Hernandez-Harrison lost.This is a big opportunity for both of us, Hernandez-Harrison said. The winner will get a top-15 world ranking by the IBF, and thats what this is about. I have known Thomas for a long time, but that all goes out the window when we step into the ring.LaManna (22-1, nine KOs) has reeled off five wins in a row since suffering his lone defeat, a sixth-round knockout to then-unbeaten Antoine Douglas in March 2015.Ive been looking forward to this fight for a long time, LaManna said. Our careers have run parallel. Dusty will bring plenty of fans to support him that night, and the same goes for me. Its an intriguing match for both of us, and its in a natural setting where it belongs.Among those appearing on the undercard are Baltimore super middleweight Jerry Odom (14-2-1, 13 KOs) in an eight-rounder and welterweight prospect Kenneth Sims Jr. (7-0, two KOs), of Chicago, in a six-rounder.

Cody Zeller is so excited to be part of the Charlotte Hornets continuity that he said he would play for free.You know, $56 million is crazy -- I would play this game for free, the center told reporters Tuesday. This is way more money than I would spend in three lifetimes.Zellers extension begins next season, but he will play his first game since getting the new deal when the Hornets host the winless Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night.Zeller was the fourth overall pick in the 2013 draft, which has been regarded as one of the weaker drafts in recent history, and he was one of just eight picks from that draft to receive extensions.We felt it was important to get him locked up to an extension rather than have him be a restricted free agent next summer, Hornets GM Rich Cho said. With the cap next summer along with Codys value around the league as a young, versatile athletic big, we felt he would have been a target for a number of teams.Zellers new contract marked the third straight year Charlotte has signed one of its players before his rookie contract was completed. Two years ago, the Hornets signed Kemba Walker, and last year it was Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Jeremy Lamb.Last year, Zeller started 60 games and averaged career bests of 8.7 points and 6.2 rebounds while shooting a career-best 52.9 percent.In the early going this season, he is averaging 10.7 points while shooting 61.1 percent (11 of 18) and splitting time in the middle with Roy Hibbert.Zeller might see more time at center Wednesday in place of Hibbert, who did not play Saturday during a 104-98 loss to Boston and has not practiced since due to a knee injury.Other than Hibberts injury and Lambs strained left hamstring, things have gone decently for the Hornets -- despite Saturdays loss when Walker had 29 points but the defense gave up 15 3-pointers.They kind of got going there in the second half, Zeller said. When they are rolling, when they are getting easy buckets, easy jumpers, its going to be tough for us to win.In the previous twoo seasons, it was difficult for Philadelphia to get its first win.dddddddddddd Two years ago, the 76ers lost their first 17 games; last year they dropped their first 18 contests.Philadelphia appeared to be on its way to its first win Tuesday against the Orlando Magic. Instead, Philadelphia blew an 18-point, first-half lead and was handed a 103-101 loss to fall to 0-3.Im sorry for them, Sixers coach Brett Brown said. We felt like weve been putting in the work to earn a win.Hollis Thompson scored 22 points and Dario Saric added 21. Joel Embiid contributed 18 points and 10 rebounds but also made two costly turnovers in the final minute, getting called for traveling with 38.9 seconds left and losing his dribble with 5.7 seconds to go.Hes got the ball and you could see that its just raw to him at the moment, Brown said. But I would do it again, try to put him in position where he could help us get a win.Embiid will not have the opportunity to deliver clutch plays Wednesday if Philadelphia is in a close game. He will be rested on the second night of a back-to-back since the 22-year-old is still coming back after two years of rehabilitating a broken right foot.Jahlil Okafor also is being treated cautiously after he had left knee surgery. He did not play Tuesday and is expected to suit up Wednesday.Ersan Ilyasova could make his debut Wednesday after being obtained from Oklahoma City along with a protected first-round pick for Jerami Grant. Ilysova will be joining his fourth team in the last two years after spending his first seven seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks.He is a career 36.9 percent shooter from 3-point range and joins a team that has shot 25.6 percent from behind the arc so far.Charlotte has won the last five meetings and six straight over the Sixers at home. On April 1, Walker had his first career double-double in points (27) and rebounds (11) in a 100-91 home win. ' ' '
