EBAUM’S WORLD AND HASIM “ROCK” RAHMAN JOIN FORCES TO CREATE AN UNCENSORED CELEBRITY SPORTS FORUM

This addition is a result of their relationship with Hasim “Rock” Rahman, former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and current mandatory contender for the title. Sports Talk Uncensored will bring prominent sports figures such as Carmelo Anthony, Sugar Ray Leonard and many others into the spotlight for a candid, one on one interview featuring fan-submitted questions and celebrity interviewers.

The inaugural interview for “Sports Talk Uncensored” features NBA Superstar, Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets and is set to launch Friday March 11, 2005 on www.ebaumsworld.com. The first interviewer will be none other than Hasim “Rock” Rahman, co-creator of Sports Talk Uncensored and the next Heavyweight Champion of the world.

“We wanted to do something new and exciting,” said Eric Bauman, creator and President of eBaum’s World Inc. “Sports Talk Uncensored is the first of its kind on the web. Up until now, the sports world hasn’t had a chance to reach one of their largest, most difficult demographics - young, tech-savvy sports fans - the way we can through the web. We want to give them that chance by bringing their video and audio directly into the homes of millions of fans. It’s a win-win situation.”

About Hasim Rahman

After debuting as a professional boxer in December, 1994, Hasim Rahman won 29 straight bouts. At that time Rahman held the United States Boxing Association and International Boxing Federation Intercontinental titles. In April 2000, Rahman, with a record of 31-2, earned a title shot from the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion, Lennox Lewis. Rahman stepped into the ring as the underdog but showed the world he was a champion by knocking Lewis out in the fifth round to become the new Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World. After two years out of the spotlight, Hasim Rahman has come out and shown his championship form by remaining undefeated in his last 5 fights. Rahman is ready to once again fight for the heavyweight championship of the world by taking on current title holder Vitali Klitschko, tentatively scheduled for April 30 in Madison Square Garden.
