Owen Minor with his sons, (L) Ramiel and Amaren
Worcester, Масс. (Гуравдугаар 5, 2019) – Decorated amateur boxer Оуэн Бага has spent the past three years focusing on fatherhood responsibilities. Minor will make his long-awaited professional debut with his two sons at his side on the “Every Man for Himself” карт, Shearns Boxing Promotions’ (SBP) inaugural event, on Friday night, Гуравдугаар 15, Worcester онд палладин үед, Массачусетсийн.
The 32-year-old Minor, who didn’t start boxing until he was 23, captured bronze medals at the 2014 U.S. Boxing National and National Golden Gloves tournaments. New England boxing fans have been anxiously waiting for his pro debut.
Why did it take so long for Minor to turn pro, especially after a relatively late start in the sport, in addition to developing into quality national amateur boxer?
“I was being a father,” Minor explained. “I have two sons, одоо 11 болон 8, and living in Worcester is tough. I wanted to make sure that I put them in the right direction.”
A former standout football player (fullback/defensive end) at Holy Name High School, Minor knows what he’s talking about, working full-time with juvenile offenders for the Department of Youth Services in Westborough, Магистр.
“We are excited to have Owen making his pro debut on our first card,” дэмжигч Chuck Shearns гэж тэмдэглэв. “He is at a point in his life where he feels he can balance boxing and family. Owen is in tremendous shape and can punch through concrete! Fans will really enjoy watching his fight.”
6′ 1″, 235-pound Minor will be making his pro debut on a card headlined by his cousin and fellow Worcester boxer, Kendrick “Peppa” Бөмбөг, JR. (11-1-2, 8 Kos), who faces upset-minded Данни “Feel Good Hollywood” Rosenberger (4-6-4, 1 К.О), Youngstown нь, Охайо, in the six-round main event for the vacant New England middleweight title.
Кендрик Бөмбөг, Sr. trains his son as well as his nephew, Minor, who takes on Philadelphia’s Corey Морли (0-2-1) in the four-round, co-featured event.
“It’s a privilege to make my pro debut in my hometown on a card headlined by my cousin,” Minor said. “Not every boxer gets a chance like this. It’s a great honor for me. I love the City of Worcester and the people who live here. Boxing has always been big in my family and I want to continue our legacy in Worcester boxing.”
