Ang kadaghanan makaila kaniya sa kiliran ni Manny Pacquiao, apan tingali kadaghanan sa mga tawo wala mahibal-an nga si Justin usa ka mabug-at nga paglaum nga nakig-away ni Lennox Lewis. Ang labi nakong gusto sa kini nga pagpares mao si Justin nga usa usab ka mubo nga gibug-aton sa timbang usab, apan usa ka kusgan nga puncher. Ang iyang katuigan nga kasinatian mao ang makatabang sa James nga mapadali ang iyang pagtubo sa isport.

Giasoy ni Shaw ang kaminyoon tali sa fighter ug tigpasiugda.

 

 

“Kini ang hingpit nga kahimtang. Ang Golden Boy Promotions usa sa mga nanguna sa among isport bahin sa mga kompanya sa promosyon. Sa kini nga kahimtang, nagtrabaho nga adunay ka usa ka maayong paglaum gikan sa Los Angeles nga nakig-away gikan sa usa ka bantog nga kompanya sa kalibutan nga nakabase sa Los Angeles. Karon pa si Golden Boy naa sa taas sa isport. Gipasiugda nila ang labing maayong manlalaban sa kalibutan sa Canelo Alvarez, ug nakagpasalig sila kaniya sa usa ka wala pa hitabo nga pakigsabot sa DAZN. Gipaabut namon ang mga oportunidad nga moabut alang ni James, ug aron ipakita si James’ talagsaon nga hugpong sa mga kahanas. Naa nako ang 100% pagsalig kang Oscar (De La Hoya), Eric (Gomez) ug Robert (Diaz) aron madala si James sa kampiyonato sa Heavyweight sa kalibutan, ug makatabang nga mapadako ang iyang potensyal nga kita. Wala pa’y kampiyon sa Heavyweight ang Los Angeles, busa kini adunay hingpit nga kahulugan nga ang ika-1 nga kauban ang usa ka kompleto nga koponan nga nakabase sa Los Angeles kauban si James, Justin, Kami ni Golden Boy. ”

 

 

 

“Ang gusto nako nga mahibal-an sa mga tawo bahin kang James mao ang sulud sa mga lubid, siya usa ka Beast and Human Highlight Film, busa Ayaw Blink. Apan sa gawas sa singsing, siya usa ka dili katuohan nga amahan sa iyang tulo ka mga lalaki. Usa ka hilabihang kadasig nga mamumulong, ug usa ka positibo nga sulondan sa sulud nga mga syudad ug sa nahabilin sa kalibutan. Dako siya sa komunidad ug makatabang sa mga kabatan-onan. Labi na ang mga gi-bully.”

 

 

 

Gisulti ni Wilson ang daghang mga bata bahin sa Anti-Bullying. “Naghimo ako daghang pagsulti ug mga seminar alang sa kontra-bullying. Nag-adtoan ako sa daghang mga eskuylahan ug nag-atiman sa mga balay ug gisuginlan ko sila sa akong istorya. Sa akong hunahuna mahimo ako nga usa ka tawo alang sa mga bata nga gipangita ug ipahibalo kanila nga sila adunay kaugmaon bisan kung unsa man ang ilang kahimtang. Gisultihan ko ang mga bata nga ang imong mga kamot hinagiban, ang imong baba hinagiban, ug ang lugar ra alang sa away naa sa sulud sa usa ka singsing.”

 

 

 

Kung gipangutana kung kinsa ang gusto niya nga away ug kung unsa ang iyang mga katuyoan sa sport, Miingon si Wilson, “Wala ako nagtinguha nga away ang bisan kinsa nga piho nga indibidwal, Nagtinguha ako nga awayon silang tanan. Labing importante, Ania ako aron hatagan ang mga fans us aka tan-awon. Kini mao ang 365 adlaw sa “Mananap” panahon. Kini nga Beast Mode o Wala’y Mode.”

Ang 34 year-old Terbunja began boxing at the age of 14, as he was a young soccer player looking to get stronger. Terbunja took up boxing, and fell in love with the sport.

 

 

 

That sparked an amateur career that saw him go 200-36. Terbunja fought all over the world for the Swedish National team, and then to the 2008 Olympics where he lost to Matt Korobov in the round of 36.

 

 

 

Terbunja moved to Long Island and spent part of his amateur career in the United States and captured the National Golden Gloves title in 2009 by defeating Luis Arias in the finals.

 

 

 

Terbunja turned professional on April 27, 2012 with a unanimous decision over Vladimir Spasojevic in Sweden. Terbunja has fought six times in Sweden and twice in Kosovo.

 

 

 

Terbunja has a 1st round stoppage over previously undefeated Joel De La Paz (7-0) sa Hulyo 23, 2016.

 

 

 

Terbunja is coming off a disputed draw with regarded Lanell Bellows on May 11th in Las Vegas.

 

 

 

I am happy to sign with Banner Promotions,” said Terbunja. “If I have a good team around me, I believe that I can fight for a world title. Banner Promotions can help me where I need to go.

 

 

 

Naim has a blue chip pedigree. He was an Olympian, and the bout he lost was close. He has had one bad fight at super middleweight. I believe he has the ability to be in position to fight for a world championship. He has an awkward style, and a good chin. He now has a good opportunity with Banner Promotions to realize his potential,” said Terbunja’s manager, Pat Zagarino.

 

 

 

We happy to have signed Naim. He was an Olympian, and we think he can become a player in the super middleweight division. We look forward to getting him in the ring before the end of the year, and we will get him in prime position in 2019,said Banner Promotions President Artie Pelullo.
