Memperkenalkan Sensasi Berat Berat James yang tidak terkalahkan “The Beast” Wilson

Golden Boy masuk “Mod Binatang atau Mod Tanpa”
Jared Shaw menguruskan kelas berat baru-baru ini menandatangani perjanjian promosi dengan Golden Boy Promotions

Los Angeles, SEPERTI. (November 8, 2018) – Pada zaman di mana tinju kelas berat sekali lagi menjadi bahagian yang panas. Soalannya masih diajukan, siapa yang akan menjadi Mike Tyson seterusnya seperti artis kalah mati? Atau mempunyai sukan seperti bola sepak dan bola keranjang yang mengambil pemain besar terbaik dari tinju?

 

 

 

Masukkan James “The Beast” Wilson.

 

 

 

Wilson mempunyai semua sifat kualiti yang disebutkan di atas. Seorang atlet yang hebat, yang berada di kem latihan NFL dengan latar belakang pertempuran yang menunjukkan kekuatan ganas.

 

 

 

Wilson, yang baru sahaja menandatangani dengan Golden Boy Promotions, mempunyai rekod 8-0 dengan tujuh kalah mati, tetapi kisahnya bermula dari awal 20 tahun lalu di jalan-jalan di Los Angeles.

 

 

 

Wilson telah melalui masa-masa sukar dan kehilangan tempat tinggal antara usia 13 dan 15, tempat dia tidur di motel, bangku taman, dan mandi di taman-taman itu. Wilson mempunyai undang-undang, dan itu mengubah hidupnya….untuk yang lebih baik.

 

 

 

“Saya dikurung dan kemudian ditempatkan dalam kumpulan. Itu sebenarnya membuat saya mempunyai struktur dan meletakkan saya di landasan yang betul. Saya berjaya di sekolah dan mula bermain sukan dan sekarang saya mempunyai pilihan positif dalam hidup saya,” kata Wilson.

 

 

 

Wilson menjadi Pemain Bola Sepak Sekolah Tinggi Los Angeles Times tahun ini, serta Trek tiga kali seluruh bandar & Atlet padang, yang memperolehnya biasiswa ke Concord University di West Virginia.

 

 

 

Wilson, yang menamatkan pengajian dalam bidang sosiologi, kemudian bermain bola sepak profesional di semua tempat, Poland.

 

 

 

Selepas itu dia mendapat jemputan kem latihan dengan Chicago Bears. Namun dia memilih untuk mengikuti minat sukan yang lain.

 

 

 

“Saya mula melakukan Kenpo-Karate, Muay-Thai dan Kickboxing.” Wilson mempunyai rekod Kickboxing profesional 16-2-1 di mana dia bertanding dalam organisasi teratas seperti K-1 dan Glory.

 

 

Selepas itu, Wilson mencuba MMA dan berjaya mengesankan 5-2 merakam dan berjuang untuk Kejohanan Bellator Fighting yang sangat dihormati.

 

 

 

Masih tidak berpuas hati, Wilson mula bertinju.

 

 

 

Wilson kembali mengembara dunia dan memulakan kerjaya gaji di New Zealand.

 

 

 

“Saya kenal seorang penganjur di New Zealand, dan saya dapat bertarung setiap minggu di sana. Itu mempercepat proses dan perkembangan saya. Saya kembali ke Los Angeles, dan berjaya memperoleh empat kemenangan lagi.”

 

 

 

Pada 7-0, Wilson kemudian bertemu dengan pemain industri tinju lama, Jared Shaw.

 

 

 

Shaw melihat video Wilson di akaun Instagramnya, dan menjangkau kelas berat yang tidak terkalahkan.

 

 

 

“Jared menghubungi saya, dan bertemu di gim, dan dia mempunyai visi yang sama untuk saya dengan yang saya miliki, dan selebihnya adalah sejarah.”

 

 

 

“Saya melihat James sebagai berlian yang kasar,” kata Shaw. “Dia mempunyai kombinasi dan kepantasan serta kekuatan yang tidak anda lihat di bahagian kelas berat. Dia mempunyai itu “ia” faktor yang saya lihat dengan Kimbo Slice. Saya cukup bernasib baik kerana telah menandatangani Kimbo dari pergaduhan yang dilihat di Youtube. Ketika Kimbo memasuki sebuah bilik, anda merasakan kehadiran dan tenaga. Saya melihat banyak kualiti yang sama dari segi James sebagai tarikan. Sesiapa yang salah mengira James sebagai pemain bola sepak atau Artist Bela Diri Campuran pasti akan mempunyai tangan penuh di gelanggang tinju. Ini adalah atlet blue-chip, ” kata Shaw, yang dibesarkan dalam sukan ini kerana ayahnya Gary Shaw telah menjadi salah satu penyokong utama di dunia selama tiga dekad yang lalu.

 

 

 

 

 

Tugas pertama Shaw adalah mendapatkan James dengan pelatih yang betul. Masukkan Justin Fortune.

 

 

 

“Saya telah lama mengenali Justin. Baik sebagai pelatih kekuatan dan penyusun dan juga pelatih. Kebanyakan akan mengenalnya di sebelah Manny Pacquiao, tetapi mungkin kebanyakan orang tidak tahu bahawa Justin adalah prospek kelas berat yang melawan Lennox Lewis. Yang paling saya gemari mengenai pasangan ini adalah Justin juga merupakan kelas berat yang lebih pendek, tetapi penukul yang kuat. Pengalamannya selama bertahun-tahun inilah yang akan membantu James mempercepat pertumbuhannya dalam sukan ini. Sebagai satu pasukan, kami mempunyai matlamat untuk mengembalikan kejuaraan dunia ke Los Angeles dan tepat pada masanya,” sambung Shaw.

 

 

 

Langkah seterusnya Shaw adalah mencari promoter yang tepat untuk Wilson masuk, dan kedua-duanya menemui salah satu syarikat terbesar di dunia yang berminat.

 

 

 

“Banyak penganjur melihat saya. Saya bertemu dengan Golden Boy, dan mereka melihat bakat dan visi saya dan saya merasakan bahawa mereka akan mewujudkannya untuk saya, dan membawa saya ke kejuaraan kelas berat dunia,” kata Wilson.

 

 

 

Shaw sangat memperkatakan tentang perkahwinan antara pejuang dan penganjur.

 

 

“Ia adalah keadaan yang sempurna. Golden Boy Promotions adalah salah satu peneraju sukan kami berkaitan dengan syarikat promosi. Dalam situasi ini, ia menunjukkan bahawa anda mempunyai prospek hebat dari Los Angeles yang bertempur dari sebuah syarikat terkenal di dunia yang berpusat di Los Angeles. Kini Golden Boy berada di puncak sukan. Mereka mempromosikan pesawat tempur teratas di Canelo Alvarez, dan mereka berjaya mendapatkannya perjanjian yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya dengan DAZN. Kami menantikan peluang yang akan datang untuk James, dan untuk menunjukkan James’ set kemahiran yang luar biasa. saya ada 100% keyakinan terhadap Oscar (De La Hoya), Eric (Gomez) dan Robert (Diaz) untuk memimpin James ke kejuaraan kelas berat dunia, dan bantu memaksimumkan potensi pendapatannya. Los Angeles tidak pernah bergelar juara kelas berat, jadi masuk akal bahawa yang pertama akan bersama pasukan yang berpusat di Los Angeles bersama James, Justin, Budak Emas dan saya sendiri. ”

 

 

 

“Apa yang saya ingin orang tahu tentang James adalah di dalam tali, dia adalah Filem Sorotan Binatang dan Manusia, jadi Jangan Berkelip. Tetapi di luar gelanggang, dia adalah bapa yang luar biasa kepada tiga orang anaknya. Penceramah motivasi yang luar biasa, dan teladan positif kepada bandar-bandar dalaman dan seluruh dunia. Dia besar dalam komuniti dan membantu belia. Terutama mereka yang dibuli.”

 

 

 

Wilson bercakap dengan banyak anak muda mengenai Anti-Buli. “Saya banyak bercakap dan seminar untuk menentang buli. Saya pergi ke banyak sekolah dan memelihara rumah dan menceritakan kisah saya. Saya rasa saya boleh menjadi seseorang yang boleh dilihat oleh anak-anak dan memberitahu mereka bahawa mereka mempunyai masa depan walaupun dalam keadaan apa pun. Saya memberitahu anak-anak bahawa tangan anda adalah senjata, mulut anda adalah senjata, dan satu-satunya tempat untuk bertarung adalah di dalam gelanggang.”

 

 

 

Ketika ditanya siapa dia mahu bertarung dan apa tujuannya dalam sukan ini, Wilson berkata, “Saya tidak mahu memerangi sesiapa sahaja secara khusus, Saya ingin melawan mereka semua. Yang paling penting, Saya di sini untuk memberikan sesuatu yang menarik kepada peminat. Ia adalah 365 hari dari “Binatang” musim. Ini adalah Mod Binatang atau Mod Tiada.”
