ไมอามี่, ตกลง (พฤษภาคม 21, 2016) – Promoter Tony Holden is searching the globe for prospects he believes can develop into world champions.
ปัจจุบัน, Holden’s company Holden Productions promotes five local boxers known as the “Four State Franchise” and they routinely sell out the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, ตกลง. The members of the “Four State Franchise” are unbeaten heavyweights Trey Lippe-Morrison and his step brother Kenzie Witt along with undefeated junior middleweight Jarrett Rouse and the Cook Brothers Dillon and Jesse.
Holden also promoted a number of big name fighters in the past including former heavyweight champion Tommy Morrison, boxing legends Naseem Hamed and Johnny Tapia, top contender Joe Mesi and world title challengers Allen Green and Zahir Raheem.
With many changes taking place in the boxing business and great local support for his fighters in the Sooner State, Holden’s expanding his horizons. ในที่สุด, his goal is to find the right fighter or fighters to compliment the “Four State Franchise” while also making them crowd attractions.
"There are so many great fighters out there, many in places where people aren’t looking,"โฮลเดนกล่าวว่า. “When I co-promoted the Showtime card here in March, we had two very talented Russian fighters on our card. Both fighters look like future world champions but still have gone a bit under the radar from a recognition standpoint. One of those fighters, อีวาน Baranchyk, is somebody I believe would be a perfect fit.”
ในที่สุด, Holden is confident in his ability to scout talent and believes he’ll find the right boxers for his stable.
"I’ve had all kinds of people reach out to me from trainers to managers and other promoters. I’m currently reviewing the fighters presented to me, carefully scouting each of them and putting together a list of fighters I plan to meet with. We will definitely be making some significant moves in the very near future.”
