April 20 (Merrillville, In) - The official weigh-ins for "Date With Destiny" are set for Friday, April 24th at 6 p.m. @ Langel's Pizza, 2833 Highway Avenue in Highland, Indiana. There are seven professional bouts scheduled for this breathtaking night of championship boxing, including three special amateur fights.

"This is going to be an electric weigh-in with (Mary) and (Kristy) getting that last look at each other," said Octavius James, C.E.O. of One In A Million Inc. "Rodney Langel has been nothing but accommodating as he provides such an incredible environment for our weigh-ins and without his help and Miller Lite, this weigh-in wouldn't be possible."

The main event of undefeated NABC Lightweight Champion "Merciless" Mary McGee (16-0, 10 KOs) and WBF Light Welterweight World Champion Kristy "Rose" Follmar (16-1, 9 KOs) will look each other in the eye as they step on the scales before stepping into the ring for McGee's title and the vacant WBC International Super Lightweight World Title in a timeless 10-round fight.

"It's a huge event with a lot of young talent and the fact that it's at the Hammond Civic Center brings us back to our roots," said Rodney Langel, owner of Langel's Pizza. "We are getting a huge response from both Kristy's and Mary's camps."

"We are also really excited to see Tyree (Ortiz) get into the ring and we are actually hosting Tyree's after party here at Langel's Pizza," added Langel. "Big" Ty Ortiz (professional debut) will step from behind his One In A Million desk to take on LaPorte's Justin Sule (1-0, 0 KOs).

Other sensational fights scheduled are Hobart's Ed "2 Fast 2 Furious" Ochoa (7-0, 7 KOs) vs. Chris Hill (4-21-2, 2 KOs) for six rounds, Orphius Waite (4-0, 3 KOs) vs. Cedric Johnson (8-3, 8 KOs) for a six-round bout, Schererville's Josh Crouch (3-0, 3 KOs) vs. Jeremy Parks for four-rounds, Gary's Angel Hernandez (11-3, 9 KOs) vs. Gustavo Palacios (2-5, 1 KOs) and "Pit Bull" Jimmy Perez Jr. (4-1, 1 KOs) vs. Zack Graham.
