Undefeated Junior Middleweight Fred Wilson, Jr. in action TONIGHT in Pittsburgh
NEW YORK (Ágúst 10, 2018)–Undefeated Junior Middleweight prospect, Fred Wilson, Jr. (6-0, 2 Kos) returns to action when he takes on James Robinson in a six-round bout at The Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh.
The 23 year-old Wilson will be making his 1st start of the year, and the Cleveland native is taking on the 20 fight-veteran in Robinson. This will be the 8th undefeated opponent that Robinson has faced.
“I am ready to get out there, and put on a show,” said Wilson. “After the crowd sees me, I want the them to say that kid is special.”
“Cleveland is known for producing a lot of boxing talent, but many of those fighters never got an opportunity. When I scouted Fred as an amateur, he was as talented as they come. I told him and his dad, I will get him that opportunity, and Fred has not disappointed me as he has worked very hard in the gym and his record shows that by staying undefeated,” Said David McWater, CEO of Split-T Management

UNBEATEN COLOMBIAN POWER-PUNCHER TALKS RADZHAB BUTAEV SHOWDOWN AND FIRST FIGHT IN AMERICA
GILROY, Calif. (Nóvember. 7, 2017) – Unbeaten Colombian power-puncher Janer Gonzalez (19-0-1, 15 Kos) takes a major step up in competition when he faces unbeaten Russian prospect Radzhab Butaev (7-0, 6 Kos; WSOB: 9-1) á föstudaginn, Nóvember. 10, at the Masonic at Templelive Cleveland in downtown Cleveland. The scheduled eight-round welterweight bout will be telecast on the popular ShoBox: The New Generation series LIVE on SHOWTIME (10 p.m. OG/PT, seinkað á vesturströnd).
Gonzalez, who is coached by Ruben Guerrero Sr., recently shared his training camp experience as his showdown with Butaev nears. Gonzalez, who is making his United States and SHOWTIME debut, last fought in September of this year.
Here is what Gonzalez had to say ahead of Föstudagur night’s fight.
On his recent training camp with Ruben Guerrero Sr.:
“My good friend Oscar Escandon introduced me to Mr. Guerrero about a month ago. I came to California to start training with Ruben shortly after. It’s been a great transition and training camp has been very productive. I’ve been sparring every other day since I got here. I’m in good shape and I’m ready to perform at my best á föstudaginn.”
On facing undefeated Russian prospect Radzhab Butaev:
“I know I have a tough fight ahead of me, but I’m ready for the challenge. Butaev had a tremendous amateur career, but so did I. I have over 300 amateur fights under my belt and there is nothing Butaev will bring to the ring that I haven’t already seen. We equally have a lot of power, so the fans can expect to see some big shots being thrown by both of us. I’m going to leave everything in the ring come fight night.”
On making his U.S. debut and what a victory on Showtime will do for his career:
“Fighting on SHOWTIME is a tremendous blessing for me. This is my first fight in America and I going to make it special. The exposure I will get can take my career to the next level, especially if I come out victorious. A win will garner me some big fights and some big paydays. I’m fighting for my family and my countrymen in Colombia. My motivation is at an all-time high and the boxing world will know my name after this fight.”
