Gary Russell Jr arrives in Los Angeles

Featherweight contender Gary Russell Jr. (Capitol Heights, Md.) and his team arrived in the Los Angeles area on Tuesday night for his WBO Featherweight title fight with two-time Olympic gold medalist Vasyl Lomachenko of Ukraine on June 21.

Russell traveled to California with his father and trainer Gary Russell, Sr., and three younger brothers, Gary Allan III, Gary Antonio and Gary Antuanne for his first title shot on Saturday at the StubHub Center in Carson, Calif., and live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. The Russells recently made history by becoming the first set of four brothers to win National Golden Gloves titles and his three younger siblings will be ringside on Saturday as Gary Jr. competes for a world championship.

Russell has built a perfect 24-0 record over the past five years while showcasing what many believe are the fastest hands in the sport. While Russell racked up a streak of convincing wins, the boxing world has awaited an opponent that will truly test the 2011 Prospect of the Year. Russell and his team have ignored the criticism about his competition level and stuck to the plan that father and son laid out for his career. The step up fight that the boxing world has been waiting for has finally arrived and Russell Jr. is primed and ready for his moment.  

Russell vs. Lomachenko will take place on the undercard of the welterweight contest between Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero and Yoshihiro Kamegai. It will take place at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif., and will air as the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® main event live on SHOWTIME (10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT) and will be available in Spanish via secondary audio programming (SAP).
