מאַרץ 20טה at Sheraton Hotel
FRAMINGHAM, מאַסע. (February27, 2020) – The son of Sandman, Jarel “Sandman” Pemberton, returns to the ring for the first time in nearly two years on the “Fight Night In Framingham” card, presented by Shearns Boxing Promotions (SBP), מאַרץ 20, at Sheraton Framingham Hotel in Framingham, מאַססאַטשוסעטץ.
“Fight Night In Framingham”, the first pro boxing event ever in Framingham, is being held for the benefit ofFighting Life, an after-school youth boxing and academic empowerment program, available 100-percent free of charge, to students beginning in elementary school through high school education.
The 28-year-old super middleweight Pemberton (3-0, 1 קאָ), fighting out of Revere, מאַ, is the son of one of New England’s all-time favorite boxers, Scott Pemberton (29-5-1, 24 קאָס), the former NABF and IBU World super middleweight champion. Pemberton was a blood-and-guts, highly entertaining type fighter best remembered for a pair of Fight of the Year candidates versusOmar Sheika.
Scott named his son, Jarel, after Superman’s father, but he never forced him into boxing. “Me boxing had a lot to do with him,” Jarel said, “but he never pushed me into boxing. I did go to a lot of his fights when I was young.
“Dad saw a Superman movie and named me Jarel after Superman’s father. I think it’s a great name, it kind of shaped my life because I’m a real comic-book nerd today.”
Jarel played football and basketball at Dartmouth (מאַ) הויך, where two of his teammates went on to play in the National Football League, Jordan Todman and close friendArthur Lynch. Jarel joined the U.S. Marines and he did two tours in Afghanistan as a machine gunner. He didn’t start boxing until after he was honorably discharged, turning pro at 27.
“I wish I started boxing when I was a kid,” he added, “but I didn’t box until after I got out of the military. People tell me I hit hard; I do have natural power.”
Pemberton, who is on the permanent reserve list to become a Revere Firefighter, is ready to get back in the ring on a regular basis, especially after being out of the ring nearly two years.
“I’m back in boxing for the long run,” he admitted. I’d like to fight a few times in the next few months. I’m getting in top shape for this fight and that’s a lot better than getting beat up in training by (22-0, 14 KOs welterweight from Lynn, מאַ) ראַשידי עליס. I’m bigger than him but he’s so fast.”
Pemberton is matched against veteran Texas fighterLarry “Slomoshun” Smith (10-43-1, 7 קאָס) אין אַ 4-קייַלעכיק באַוט.
