Dmitriy Salita of Salita Promotions proudly announces the signing of undefeated welterweight contender Wesley “King Wes” косынка.
A skilled counter puncher with above average power, косынка (12-0, 7 КО) Толедо, Огайо, had over 250 amateur bouts and won several championships including the Toledo Golden Gloves, Серебряные перчатки, and Junior Olympics multiple times.
The 29-year-old southpaw started boxing at age 8 years old and already has 18 years boxing experience.
“My ring generalship is my greatest asset in the ring,” said Tucker, “tall, небольшой, bigger, I’ve already seen it all and I know what to do to beat them.”
Tucker will make his debut fighting under the Salita Promotions banner on Суббота, Ноябрь 12, at their “Детройт Brawl” мероприятие в масонском храме в центре Детройта, when he faces North Carolina’s Richard Hall in a six-round battle.
При поддержке виски-бара Thomas Magee’s Sporting House, Билеты на “Детройт Brawl” будут оценены в VIP $123, Сиденья-боксы $100, Ринга $93, $63, $38, и $28 и доступен во всех торговых точках Ticketmaster и на сайте Ticketmaster.com.
A father of five, Tucker says family plays a major role in his life and the reason he is a tireless worker in the gym.
“They are my push and motivation for everything I do. They come to the gym with me a lot at least three times a week. And my mom, she loves what I do. She’s my number one fan.”
Tucker’s manager, David McWater who arranged the deal with Salita, says he’s happy to have another of his fighters under their promotional banner.
“I’m really excited about Wesley signing with Salita Promotions,” он сказал. “We started working with Dmitry when we signed Antonio Nieves with him and he’s been a gem. I believe he’s THE up and coming promoter in the USA and are excited to get our guys in on the ground level with him. Wesley is a wonderful kid who has overcame a lot of adversity to get to this spot. I am confident he will make the most of this opportunity.”
Salita says he’s going to go to work immediately on his new fighter’s career.
“Wesley has as much skill and experience as any fighter in boxing,” он сказал. “его 250 amateur fights mean he’s seen it all and done it all. There isn’t the same learning curve with a fighter with that much experience. We will immediately be looking to move him into the top 10 and an eventual world title shot in the next year or two. I thank him and his team for joining my growing stable of fighters.”
