Greg Cohen Promotions Signs Super Middleweight Derrick Webster to a Promotional Contract

Laat een reactie achter

Greg Cohen Promotions proudly announces the signing of once-beaten super middleweight Derrick “Take It to The Bank” Webster.

 

 

 

Glassboro, New Jersey’s Webster (28-1, 14 KO) stands an enormous 6’ 4”, with fast and powerful hands. The naturally athletic southpaw only had 40 amateur fights and didn’t even start boxing until age 24 but picked up the sport very quickly.

 

 

 

Unlike most world-class fighters, Webster is a successful home-remodeling and construction business owner. He also played power forward for two seasons for the University of Maryland basketball while earning a bachelor’s degree in Juvenile Criminal Justice.

 

 

 

"Het voelt geweldig,” said Webster of the signing. “I feel like I belong on this level. I have a different story from the people I’m around. They’ve been fighting since they were kids. I didn’t pick up gloves until I was 24. For me to be here, with people who have been fighting all their lives… I’ve already reached a level a lot of guys never reach.”

 

 

 

Webster says trusting the wrong people made for a tough road earlier in his career, but he’s ready for a run at a world championship now that he has father figure/trainer Denny Brown and the experienced promoter Cohen on his side.

 

 

 

“From early on, people have been promising this and promising that. I’m past that point. I deal with that earlier in my career. I don’t have the patience to be playing around anymore. Greg says we’re fighting December 1 and then we will come back and fight again early next year. I expect to break into the world ratings and take my shot at a world championship.”

 

 

 

Webster is unique in that he’s not financially dependent on boxing. All of his sacrifice and work is done because he wants to.

 

 

 

“A lot of guys fight because they need it for their identity. I am successful in business already. I have built myself up as a brand. I have businesses that are doing well. Boxing just adds to my life. I still act. I do modelling. I don’t have to worry about money in boxing.”

 

 

 

Cohen says he’ll act quickly with Webster to get him into position for a world championship challenge.

 

 

 

“Derrick is a unique talent who is overdue for a big fight. With almost no previous experience, he has worked his way to a 28-1 record with solid wins over several reliable veterans. At the top of his potential, he can be a super middleweight version of (voormalig kampioen weltergewicht) Paul Williams. He’s a smart and naturally talented fighter with excellent potential to become a force at 168 lbs.”

Mikaelian: ‘Ik ben de slimmere’

Laat een reactie achter

De Duitse Noel Mikaelian gelooft dat hij heeft wat er in november nodig is 10 in de Ali Trophy Cruiserweight kwartfinale tegen de Letse Mairis Briedis in het UIC Pavilion in Chicago, VS.

 

Tickets zijn verkrijgbaar via TicketMaster.com of door te bellen naar 800-745-3000.

 

 

 

“Boksen is een heel zware sport en op de een of andere manier raak je eraan verslaafd,” zei de 28-jarige Mikaelian (24-1, 10 KO).

 

 

 

'Als je een bokser bent, je bent een bokser voor het leven. Boksen heeft me geleerd dat ik echt gedisciplineerd ben; Ik heb een toewijding voor de sport en ik geef nooit op.”

 

 

 

Mikaelian is een voormalig WBO Jeugdkampioen en WBO International Cruiserweight Champion, maar zijn grootste test tot nu toe is slechts enkele dagen verwijderd.

 

 

 

“De kwartfinale tegen Briedis… het wordt een zware strijd. Hij is de favoriet, hij is echt een goede vechter. Hij heeft een goede school, de Sovjetschool, slagkracht. Hij is ook een denker in de ring, maar ik denk dat ik de slimmer ben.

 

 

 

“Ik zal doen wat nodig is om te winnen. Ik vecht naar het model; hit en niet geraakt worden. Dat is boksen voor mij en hoe boksen zou moeten zijn. "

 

 

 

“Ik heb een tweede kans gegeven,”Zei Briedis (24-1, 18 KO) een van de sterren van seizoen I van de World Boxing Super Series.

 

 

 

En de Letse sportheld is ongetwijfeld een favoriet om de Ali Trophy van dit seizoen mee naar huis te nemen in de 200 lb divisie.

 

 

 

“Ik wil deze tweede kans benutten. Ik ga het gebruiken, en laten we zien hoe ver ik kom. Ieder van ons in het toernooi is anders. Het is een hele grote test voor mezelf. Zowel fysiek als psychologisch. "

 

 

 

Vorig jaar oktober werd de voormalige WBC-wereldkampioen uitgeroepen tot Commandeur in de Orde van de Drie Sterren, de hoogste staatsprijs in Letland, voor ‘uitstekende prestaties op het gebied van sport en een belangrijke bijdrage aan de promotie van Letland in de wereld.’

 

 

 

“Ik wil door mijn voorbeeld laten zien dat er behoefte is aan Letten, en niet alleen Letten, maar voor iedereen in het algemeen om samen te trekken. Dat mensen strijdlust nodig hebben,”Zei de 33-jarige.

 

 

 

“Er zijn veel dingen waar ik zelf aan moet werken, zowel fysiek als psychologisch. Ik word er niet jonger op, maar ik ga alles doen wat ik kan.

 

 

 

“Fysiek voel ik me goed in mezelf. Mijn fysieke indexen zijn goed. Nu, het belangrijkste, met Gods hulp, is hard werken met al mijn bokstechnieken. Ik wil laten zien waartoe ik in staat ben in het boksen en laten zien hoe ik ben. "

 

 

 

Mairis Briedis vs Noel Mikaelian en Krzysztof Glowacki vs Maksim Vlasov zijn de twee cruiserweight kwartfinales op een ongelooflijke dubbele kop wanneer de World Boxing Super Series naar het UIC-paviljoen in Chicago komt.

 

Fans in de VS.. kan de kwartfinales LIVE bekijken op DAZN, het wereldwijde sportstreamingplatform. Om u aan te melden voor een gratis proefperiode van één maand, fans kunnen DAZN.com bezoeken of de DAZN-app downloaden naar hun favoriete aangesloten apparaat.

Training Camp Almost Complete; A Confident and On-Weight Claressa Shields Ready for Hannah Rankin DAZN Showdown on November 17

Laat een reactie achter

Women’s superstar and two-division world champion Claressa Shields is in Florida with trainer John David Jackson, finishing up preparations for her showdown with Glasgow, Scotland’s Hannahh Rankin on Saturday, November 17, at the Kansas Star Arena and Casino in Mulvane, Kansas.

 

 

 

Shields (6-0, 2 KO) will defend her IBF and WBA World Middleweight Championships, and be looking to add the vacant WBC title, against Rankin (5-2, 1 KO) in the 10-round co-featured bout to Salita Promotions stablemate Jarrell Miller’s heavyweight showdown against Romania’s Bogdan Dinu.

 

 

 

Both fights, along with former world champion Brandon Rios taking on Canelo’s brother, Ramon Alvarez, in a super welterweight 10-rounder and former two-time world middleweight title challenger Gabriel Rosado going against once-beaten contender Luis Arias, will be broadcast live on DAZN.

 

 

 

23-year-old Shields, a former two-time Olympic Gold Medallist, has reignited interest in women’s boxing and become a ratings favorite for her nationally televised championship exploits. A proud native of Flint, Michigan, Shields mixes her brash pronouncements of greatness with a genuine and continued effort to inspire female athletes and render aid to members of her home community.

 

 

 

Shields was originally scheduled to face WBC and WBO World Middleweight Champion Christina Hammer on November 17, but the bout was postponed after Hammer withdrew due to medical reasons.

 

Did the change of opponents from Hammer to Rankin affect your training?

 

 

 

I don’t train for my opponents, I just push to get the best out of me, fysiek en mentaal. If I’m the best ‘me,’ I don’t have to worry about who the opponent is. The change of opponents didn’t bother me at all; the worst thing about this camp for me was just all the date changes – constantly having to get my mind focused on the pace and timing of training depending on the fight date. I can’t wait to get in the ring!

 

You’ve fought at super middleweight 168 and recently at middleweight 160 pond. How is your training, diet and any other efforts different to make 160?

 

 

 

Training is always hard and I’m constantly learning. I’ve had a completely different diet this camp – a real change and a positive one for me. I’ve teamed up with Perfecting Athletes for my daily meals, and I feel great. I’ve always tried to eat healthy but these folks are pros and are more educated in that field than myself. I have this magic drink that makes my stomach smile – I love it! It’s watermelon mixed with a green vegetable. I’m not going to tell you what vegetable it is, but I’ve been drinking it everyday, and I feel GREAT.

 

Your viewership numbers have been very strong. Why do you think people are drawn to you?

 

 

 

I believe that people are drawn to how real and honest I am, zowel in als buiten de ring. I say what I mean and mean what I say. I’m hard but I have a soft side also. And I think people are drawn to how I fight — not only do I talk a good game but I fight my a– off too! ik geef 1000% every time – I want to change the game and bring a whole new generation of fans to women’s boxing and boxing overall.

 

What do you know about your opponent Hannah Rankin?

 

 

 

I know that my opponent Rankin is very tough and determined to be a world champion. I like her drive, I like her heart. I know that she has been in the ring as a sparring partner for many champions, one being Christina Hammer. So Rankin has seen some good fighters. But one thing is for sure – she has never seen a fighter like me. And since Hammer couldn’t fight because of her medical condition, in many ways the next best thing is to fight and beat her sparring partner and let Rankin tell Hammer what she’s in for when she returns!

 

What needs to be done to solve the Flint water crisis?

 

 

To solve the flint Water crisis, I think that people should continue to give water and also keep it in the news that there is a city in America where, unbelievably, US citizens don’t have clean water. And hopefully the president or our governor do something to fix all the pipes.

 

What’s the secret to becoming the best of the best in any sport?

 

 

 

I believe the secret starts with believing in yourself, being dedicated, working hard and just always striving to be better. I feel I’m my biggest critic when I train and box. It’s hard to watch film of my fights because even though I’m doing 97 things right I just can’t stand to see the 3 things I’m doing wrong. I’m a person who strives to pull out my full potential. It takes guts to be great. Nothing will stand in the way of achieving my goals, which includes being the GWOAT and creating equality for all women fighters when it comes to the money, opportunities and coverage the men get.

WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder Battles Lineal Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury Saturday, December 1On SHOWTIME PPV® From STAPLES Center in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES (November 5, 2018) – WBC zwaargewicht wereldkampioen Deontay Wilder held a jam-packed media day Monday in Los Angeles where he discussed his blockbuster matchup against lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury vindt plaats op zaterdag, December 1 op SHOWTIME PPV® van Staples Center in Los Angeles.

 

 

 

Wilder arrived in Los Angeles, along with trainer Jay Deas, to show off his skills in front of media at Churchill Boxing Club in Santa Monica. The most significant heavyweight event in the U.S. in meer dan 15 jaar, Wilder vs. Fury tests the raw power of the 6-foot-7 Wilder against the unmatched size and mobility of the 6-foot-9 Fury.

 

 

 

Tickets voor het evenement, which is promoted by BombZquad Enterprises and Queensberry Promotions, in association with DiBella Entertainment and TGB Promotions, zijn nu te koop. Ticket prijzen beginnen bij $75, plus applicable fees and are available via AXS.com. Wilder vs. Fury will be produced and distributed by SHOWTIME PPV.

 

 

 

Here is what Wilder and Deas had to say Thursday at media day, where Wilder was joined by his girlfriend Telli Swift and their eight-month-old daughter Kaorii:

 

Deontay WILDERE

 

 

 

“I feel like I’m at my very best right now. Geestelijk, physically and emotionally I’m ready to go. Alles is perfect. I just want to get in the ring and show action. Tyson Fury doesn’t know what he’s gotten himself into.

 

 

 

“As a true champion, I know how to adjust to any fighter that’s in front of me. My experience facing fighters of all styles has prepared me for this special fight.

 

 

 

“I’ve had tremendous sparring. Every day I’m making adjustments and getting myself right so I can get my timing and style exactly how it needs to be. If the fight was this weekend, Deontay Wilder is ready to go.

 

 

 

“Luis Ortiz was the most avoided fighter in the heavyweight division and I understand why he had never gotten the title shot before. I’m the type of fighter who gives people opportunities and he was the fighter I needed to face to prove to the world what I’m all about.

 

 

 

“This is not a game for me. Everyone has heard about what it’s like to be in the ring with me, but until you’re in there, you don’t know for sure that what you’ve been hearing is for real. I’m the best in the world. I don’t think any heavyweight has been through what I’ve been through.

 

 

 

“I’m training for a certain type of mission. As a fighter I have to have the mindset that I must be ready for anything. Vervolgens, once it’s time for the bell to ring, I become ‘The Bronze Bomber’.

 

 

 

“Fury has height just like me and he also brings an awkward style like myself. He’s rangy, mobile and he believes he’s the best in the world. You’ll get two giants who are athletic and move around the ring like no one else in this sport.

 

 

 

“They say that I have the power and he has the boxing skills. We’ll see on December 1. It’s a puncher versus a boxer. I think the puncher is going to box his lights out, and then I’m going to knock his lights out.

 

 

 

“I don’t watch too much film or study guys past getting their style down and seeing how they use their styles. My trainers watch film and use that knowledge to give me advice throughout the fight. I find that my opponents fight differently depending on who they’re facing, so I can’t dwell too much on watching past fights.”

 

JAY leuk, Wilder's Trainer

 

 

 

“Tyson Fury is kind of like a Rubik’s cube. But a Rubik’s cube can be solved. Fury is a very versatile fighter who can move, he can box and fight from lots of distances. He’s the total package as a fighter and on top of that he’s strong-willed mentally.

 

 

 

“We have our hands full, but I know that Deontay Wilder is the guy to handle Tyson Fury. Deontay is the the right guy to take over boxing and this is the first step in that.

 

 

 

“Deontay has had a fantastic camp and we’ve had really good sparring partners. Fury is a tall fighter, but it’s really the athleticism that makes him what he is. We believe we’re better off finding more athletic guys who are slightly shorter than Fury, rather than someone his height who is a statue.

 

 

 

“Fortunately Deontay has always been a focused fighter, so keeping him right mentally I don’t think will ever be a problem. Deontay can handle any chaos around him better than anyone I’ve seen. When he says he’s the man for this job, he really means it.

 

 

 

“The tough thing with preparing for Tyson Fury is that even he doesn’t know exactly what he’s going to do in there. He can fight lefty, righty, dirty or clean. We’re working on being prepared for all of these things and more.

 

 

 

“Both guys are very athletic and very awkward style-wise, but once this fight combusts, it’s going to be phenomenal. You don’t want to blink or go to the bathroom, the pretzel can wait, because you’re going to want to catch every second of it.”

GH3 Promotions signs Former World Title Challenger Dominic Wade

Laat een reactie achter

NUTLEY, NJ., (November 5, 2018) – GH3 Promotions has signed former world title challenger and middleweight contender Dominic Wade to a Promotional deal.

 

 

 

Waden, 28 years-old of Largo, Maryland heeft een record van 18-1 met 12 knock-outs.

 

 

 

Wade was a four-time Junior Olympic Champion and a participant in the 2007 Olympisch Boksen Trials.

 

 

 

He turned professional on March 14, 2009 with a 1st round stoppage over undefeated Chris Davis (3-0). Wade climbed up the rankings with victories over Michael Faulk (2-0), Grover Young (4-0), Nick Brinson (16-1-2) and former world champion Sam Soliman.

 

 

 

Those wins catapulted Wade to face unified Middleweight world champion Gennady Golovkin on April 23, 2016 in The Forum in Inglewood, Californië.

 

 

 

Wade suffered his only professional defeat in that fight, and has not fought since the world title opportunity.

 

 

 

“I am excited to get back in the ring, and the show the world what I got. I will get back to the top of the rankings, and do it better, and more proper this time.” said Wade.

 

 

 

“It is time to show the world that I am back. I want to take my time until the big fights come up. I can see me in fights against Canelo Alvarez, Golvkin, Daniel Jacobs, Jermall Charlo, Demetrius Andrade or any of the other top middleweights out there. I feel that after a couple of fights, I will be up there with the top names in the division. I am just excited to do my thing. I got to the top of the rankings with just natural talent. Now I have a good team behind me with GH3 Promotions, I have a great work ethic, and I am back with my original trainer Adrian Davis. I feel the best is still ahead of me.”

 

 

 

 

 

“I feel that we can get Dominic back to the top really soon. I plan to have him fight November 17th in Indiana, then I want to bring him back in December in New Jersey, and a 3rd fight in January, that will get him in a fight that will get him in position. He has always had the talent, now he is with us, and we will have him on a schedule to get him back in the rankings, and eventually another world title shot,” said Vito Mielnicki of GH3 Promotions.

Nieuwe kickbokskampioen gekroond bij FFC 33
Kopvoorn verstoort voorheen ongeslagen Vrtacic voor middengewicht titel

Las Vegas, NV, (November 2, 2018) – Het Main Event van “FFC 33” leverde een overstuur en een nieuwe kampioen op, als Mykta Chub (18-7-0) versloeg voorheen ongeslagen kampioen Andi Vrtacic (10-1-0) door split decision (47-48, 48-47, 48-47) om de titel van FFC middengewicht kickboksen te winnen.

 

 

 

Chub en Vrtacic toonden veel uithoudingsvermogen tijdens hun vijf ronde oorlog. Chub wist tijdens dit gevecht Vrtacic vrij vaak in de hoeken te pinnen, de jonge Vrtacic frustreren en hem ervan weerhouden zijn kenmerkende hoge trappen te gebruiken. Vrtacici landde een aantal mooie kopschoppen en weinig solide combinaties, maar het was niet genoeg om indruk te maken op de juryleden, waardoor Chub de overwinning kon stelen, en de titel.

 

 

 

In het Co-Main Event, waarbij twee zeer opwindende lichtgewicht MMA-jagers betrokken waren, Darrick Minner (22-9-0) verspilde geen tijd met het indienen van voormalige UFC-jager, “Cassius” Clay Collard (16-8-1) door naakte vernauwing in de allereerste ronde. De overwinning op de onderwerping, dat was de 19th of de carrière van Minner, nam alleen 31 seconden uit te voeren.

 

 

 

Andre Keys (10-1-0) ging het hele duel met Randy Fuentes (7-7-1) in hun Super Welterweight Boxing-gevecht. Sleutels gewonnen door middel van split decision (55-59, 55-59, 58-56) in een gevecht waarbij beide vechters in de pocket stonden en harde schoten uitwisselden voor het grootste deel van hun gevecht van zes ronden.

 

 

 

In een Kickboxing Lightweight matchup, ondanks het breken van zijn linkerarm in het gevecht, Chris McMillan (38-10-0) won een split decision (28-29, 29-28, 29-28) tegen Teo Mikelic (18-7-0) in een gevecht met enkele vicieuze trappen en scherpe stoten van beide vechters.

 

 

 

De nacht begon met Sherrard Blackledge (1-0-0) het winnen van zijn professionele MMA-debuut met eenparigheid van stemmen (30-27, 30-26, 30-27) over Jordan Christensen (0-2-0) in de weltergewicht divisie.

 

 

 

“De meeste van deze gevechten gingen de hele afstand over en de jagers stelden vanavond niet teleur,” Said FFC CEO / Founder, Orsat Zovko. “FFC 33 toonde veel uithoudingsvermogen en taaiheid en leverde een vermakelijke show op voor de fans.”

 

 

 

“FFC 33” vond plaats bij haar vaste thuis, “Fight Dome”, die is gelegen in Caesars Entertainment Rio Las Vegas. Het evenement landelijk werd uitgezonden op CBS Sports Network.

 

 

 

Final Fight Championship (FFC) is de eerste en enige professionele vechtsporten franchise aanbieden fans een unieke ‘multi-discipline’ ervaring (Boksen, Kickboksen en MMA), waar elk evenement eindigt met een kampioenschap titel gevecht. Alle FFC evenementen plaatsvinden binnen “Fight Dome” at Caesars Entertainment Rio Las Vegas, de geheel nieuwe mekka van vechtsporten.

Here is what the luncheon participants had to say Friday at lunch from Watty’s at The Flats in Beverly Hills, which featured a special guest in former two-division world champion Danny Garcia:

 

DOMINIC Breazeale, WBC nr. 1 Heavyweight Challenger

 

 

 

“I’ve been staying in the gym consistently. My trainer Manny Robles does a great job of keeping me sharp. He makes sure I’m watching other guys spar and learning new tools.

 

 

 

“I have worked hard to get to the top and I’ve done it by bringing the fight each and every time. I’ve waited for this opportunity and my time is now.

 

 

 

“Carlos Negron is a great fighter who I’ll be ready for. People want to see exchanges and that is what I’m aiming for. I’m going to give the fans a great show and bring home a victory.

 

 

 

“I know that I’m a contender in the heavyweight division. I came up short against Anthony Joshua, but now I have a beautiful opportunity to go after the WBC title. I’m not letting anyone stand in my way.

 

 

 

“My goal was to not be in camp trying to get in shape. I see too much of that. So I made sure once it was time to focus in on this fight, that I was already at fighting weight. I feel great right now and I see the difference.

 

 

 

“I’m looking forward to this big fight on FOX and FOX Deportes. It’s been a long time coming to get back in the ring and this is a great stage for me to do it on.

 

 

 

“My main focus is on this fight and securing the title shot. I’m preparing for Carlos Negron like he’s Deontay Wilder. I would be a little upset if Tyson Fury wins because I really want to face Wilder.

 

 

 

“My plan is to win on December 22 and next time I fight, that green belt will be on the line. I’m ready for this shot at the belt that I’ve worked for.”

 

MANNY ROBLES, Breazeale’s Trainer

 

 

 

“Dominic is really prepared for this fight. He will be ready because he is an extremely hard-working fighter. His strength and conditioning work has been really focused and we think it’s going to show in this fight.

 

 

 

“We are taking this fight very seriously, as we do every fight. This is one of his better camps we’ve had together. So far things are going great. I am not just saying that. I truly believe you will see a better Dominic than ever before.

 

 

 

“We are working on a lot of different things – snelheid, voetwerk, stamina. We understand that we have a good boxer-puncher in front of us. He is up for the task. Dominic will be great. Expect fireworks on December 22.”

 

BRITTANY GOOSSEN BROWN, Vice President of TGB Promotions

 

 

 

“This is going to be a great heavyweight matchup on December 22 in Brooklyn. Dominic Breazeale is always in action fights and he knows he needs to win in style to get another shot at the heavyweight world championship.

 

 

 

“Breazeale is the mandatory challenger for the Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury winner, but he can’t look past the experienced Puerto Rican Olympian Carlos Negron. This fight is going to be a great way to kick off the FOX and FOX Deportes telecast.”

December 1st at the Vidéotron Centre in Quebec City

 

QUEBEC CITY, Canada (November 2, 2018) –– de charismatische Marie-Eve Dicaire (13-0-0, 0 KO) will have the chance to make her dream come true on December 1 at the Videotron Center in Quebec, when she fights for the International Boxing Federation (IBF) World light middleweight title against champion Chris Namus (24-4-0, 8 KO), of Uruguay. Marie-Eve will fight in the first women’s world title bout in Quebec’s history.

 

 

 

The 31-year-old Namus, fighting out of South America, signed the contract this past Tuesday to defend her crown against Dicaire in the co-featured event on the card headlined by the World Boxing Council (WBC) and lineal light heavyweight world championship bout between Adonis Stevenson en uitdager Oleksandr gvozdyk, adding some spice to an already red-hot card.

 

 

 

Namus, nicknamed “El Bombon Asesino”, has been IBF champion since 2017, when she defeated Argentina’s Yamila Esther Reynoso voor de vacante titel. She has since defended her belt once, against her compatriot, Katia Alvarino.

 

 

“Eerst en vooral,” Dicaire zei, “I must say that I feel privileged to have the opportunity to box for the world championship for the first time here in Quebec. This fight represents years of effort, offer, perseverance and to live that moment before those who supported me during this tumultuous journey is indescribable for me.

 

 

 

“My preparation for this fight is already well underway and I must admit that the signature of Namus has just added an additional motivation for the last steps of my camp. Zo, kijk uit! I cannot wait to be in the ring and touch this belt!”

 

 

 

“Marie-Eve is in a good position to be a star in the history of Canadian boxing. She will not have a second chance to leave a good first impression,” added GYM’s vice president of operations and recruitment, Bernard Barré.

 

 

 

Tickets, vanaf $ 50.50, taksen en dienst inbegrepen, are on sale at Gestev.com and Ticketmaster.ca, at the Champions Boxing Club (514-376-0980), bij GYM (514-383-0666) of 1-855-790-1245.

 

De “Mandatory” event will be televised in the United States and Canada on pay-per-view via Indigo, Bell TV en Shaw TV.

With Brisoce manning the corner, Carto sees himself getting better with each fight in 2019.

 

 

 

“I can definitely see myself fighting for a regional title in 2019, but I am still earning, so there is no rush. With being with Billy, I would like to go out to a training camp with one of the champions to help them get ready for a big, which will help me even more.”
