Digite James “The Beast” Wilson.

 

 

 

Wilson tem todos os atributos das qualidades acima mencionadas. A atleta fantástico, que estava em um campo de treinamento NFL com um fundo em combates que exibe poder feroz.

 

 

 

Wilson, que acaba de assinar com a Golden Boy Promotions, tem um registro de 8-0 com sete nocautes, mas sua história começa mais 20 anos nas ruas de Los Angeles.

 

 

 

Wilson estava passando por tempos difíceis e era sem-teto entre as idades de 13 e 15, onde ele estava dormindo em motéis, bancos de parque, e tomar banho nos parques. Wilson teve uma raspagem com a lei, e que mudou sua vida….para o melhor.

 

 

 

“Eu estava preso, e, em seguida, colocado em um grupo. Isso realmente me fez ter estrutura e me colocou no caminho certo. Eu fiz bem na escola e começou a praticar esportes e agora eu tinha opções positivas na minha vida,” disse Wilson.

 

 

 

Wilson se tornou o jogador do ano Futebol Los Angeles Times Grau, bem como um três-tempo All-cidade da trilha & atleta campo, que lhe rendeu uma bolsa para a Universidade Concord em West Virginia.

 

 

 

Wilson, que se formou com uma licenciatura em sociologia, em seguida, passou a jogar futebol profissional na de todos os lugares, Polônia.

 

 

 

Depois disso, ele ganhou um campo de treinamento convidar com o Chicago Bears. No entanto, ele escolheu seguir uma outra paixão atlético.

 

 

 

“Eu comecei a fazer Kenpo-Karate, Muay-Thai e Kickboxing.” Wilson teve um recorde de Kickboxing profissional de 16-2-1 onde competiu em organizações de topo, como K-1 e Glória.

 

 

Depois disso, Wilson tentou sua mão em MMA e acumulou uma impressionante 5-2 registro e lutou para o Campeonato de Luta Bellator conceituados.

 

 

 

Ainda não satisfeito, Wilson começou o boxe.

 

 

 

Wilson novamente viajou o mundo e começou a sua perfuração para a carreira de pagamento na Nova Zelândia.

 

 

 

“Eu sabia que um promotor na Nova Zelândia, e eu era capaz de lutar contra todas as semanas há. Isso acelerou o meu processo e desenvolvimento. Eu voltei para Los Angeles, e foi capaz de conseguir mais quatro vitórias.”

 

 

 

Em 7-0, Wilson então conheceu antigo jogador indústria de boxe, Jared Shaw.

 

 

 

Shaw viu vídeos de Wilson em sua conta no Instagram, e estendeu a mão para o peso pesado invicto.

 

 

 

“Jared me contatou, e reuniu-se no ginásio, e ele tinha a mesma visão para mim que eu tinha, E o resto é história.”

 

 

 

“Eu vi James como um diamante em bruto,” Disse Shaw. “Ele tem a combinação e velocidade e potência que você não vê na divisão peso pesado. Ele tem que “isto” fator que eu vi com Kimbo Slice. Eu tive a sorte de ter assinado Kimbo fora das lutas que foram vistos no Youtube. Quando Kimbo entrou numa sala, você sentiu a presença e energia. Eu vejo um monte das mesmas qualidades em termos de James sendo que tipo de uma atração. Qualquer um que James confundido com um jogador de futebol ou um artista marcial mista certamente terá as mãos cheias no ringue de boxe. Esta é uma atleta blue-chip, ” Disse Shaw, que cresceu no esporte como seu pai Gary Shaw foi um dos principais promotores no mundo para as últimas três décadas.

 

 

 

 

 

1º trabalho de Shaw era fazer com que James com o treinador certo. Digite Justin Fortune.

 

 

 

“Eu conheci Justin por um longo tempo. Tanto como um treinador de força e condicionamento e como treinador. A maioria iria conhecê-lo ao lado de Manny Pacquiao, mas talvez a maioria das pessoas não sabem que Justin era um prospeto pesado que lutou Lennox Lewis. O que eu gosto mais sobre este emparelhamento é Justin era um peso pesado mais curto, bem, mas um perfurador poderoso. Seus anos de experiência é o que está acontecendo para ajudar James acelerar seu crescimento no esporte. Como uma equipe, temos uma meta para trazer um campeonato mundial de volta para Los Angeles e em tempo hábil,” continuou Shaw.

 

 

 

O próximo passo de Shaw era encontrar o promotor certo para Wilson assinar com, ea dupla encontrou uma das maiores empresas do mundo que estava interessado.

 

 

 

“Um monte de promotores estavam olhando para mim. Eu me encontrei com Golden Boy, e viram o meu talento e visão e eu sinto que eles vão fazer isso acontecer para mim, e me levar para o campeonato mundial dos pesos pesados,” disse Wilson.

 

 

 

Shaw elogiou o casamento entre lutador e promotor.

 

 

“É a situação perfeita. Golden Boy Promotions é uma das líderes em nosso esporte quando se trata de empresas de promoção. Nesta situação, ele trabalhou-se que você tem um grande potencial de Los Angeles lutando de uma empresa de renome mundial com sede em Los Angeles. Agora Golden Boy está no topo do esporte. Eles promovem sem dúvida o lutador top do mundo em Canelo Alvarez, e eles foram capazes de garantir-lhe um acordo sem precedentes com DAZN. Estamos ansiosos para as oportunidades que virão para James, e para mostrar James’ extraordinário conjunto de habilidades. Eu tenho o 100% confiança no Oscar (De La Hoya), Eric (Gomez) e Robert (Diaz) para levar James para o campeonato mundial dos pesos pesados, e ajudar a maximizar o seu potencial de ganhos. Los Angeles nunca teve um campeão Heavyweight, por isso faz todo o sentido que o primeiro deles será com uma equipe baseada Los Angeles completa com James, Justin, Golden Boy e eu. ”

 

 

 

“O que eu gostaria que as pessoas saibam sobre James é que dentro das cordas, ele é um filme Besta e Highlight Humano, então Não pisque. Mas fora do ringue, ele é um pai incrível para seus três meninos. A palestrante motivacional tremenda, e um modelo positivo para os internos-cidades e o resto do mundo. Ele é grande em comunidade e ajudar os jovens. Especialmente aqueles que são maltratado.”

Eu acho que posso ser alguém para as crianças a olhar para cima e deixá-los saber que eles têm um futuro, apesar de qualquer circunstância que estão em. Digo crianças de que suas mãos são armas, sua boca é uma arma, eo único lugar para o combate está dentro de um anel.”

 

 

 

Quando perguntado sobre quem ele quer lutar e que seus objetivos são no esporte, Wilson disse, “Eu não estou olhando para lutar com qualquer um indivíduo especificamente, Eu estou olhando para lutar contra todos eles. Mais importante, Estou aqui para dar aos fãs algo para assistir. Isto é 365 dias de “Besta” estação. É Beast Mode ou Não Mode.”
