For Immediate Release
Washington, DC (August 26, 2015) This Friday night, August 28 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, in the nation’s capital of Washington, DC, King’s Promotions will present a spectacular night of boxing that will feature some of the best talent in the United States.
In the main event, Brandon Bennett (19-1, 8 KO’s) will square off with former world title challenger Jonathan Maicelo (21-2, 12 KO’s) in a Lightweight bout scheduled for 10-rounds.
Maicelo of Callao, Peru, but now resides in North Bergen, New Jersey is just seven months removed from challenging Darleys Perez for the Interim WBA Lightweight championship.  The loss in that fight had made Maicelo even hungrier and he looks for a big effort on Friday night to put him right back in contention for a world title.
“Training has gone great and I am super motivated,” said Maicelo.
He knows he will be fighting a tough guy in Bennett and has praise for the Cincinnati native.
“I respect every fighter. I have seen a few of his fights in tape and he is a good fighter from what I see.  With that being said, I am better the fighter and on Friday, I will prove that.”
Maicelo fought a good fight against Perez but came up just short.  He is taking the positives of that experience which will be a big factor in the fight on Friday night.
“Even though I lost to Perez, I took it as a big learning experience.  I learned a lot and Friday, It will show.  I was just in camp with Danny Garcia and I been super motivated.”
Maicelo isn’t a fighter who wants to be protected and babied to get back to contention, he wants to earn it by fighting top quality opposition.
“Fighting a guy like Bennett are the fights that I want.  I want to show that I can beat guys with good records.  I imagine that he feels the same way.  I am sure he knows that I am no pushover and that he is in for a tough fight.”
The 32 year-old is steadfast that being in a hard 12-round title fight will make all the difference on Friday.
“I feel that I have all the experience.  I have fought the tougher guys.  I been at the world class level and that will be the difference.  I just want to tell all my fans from Peru and here that I will give 100 %.  It has nothing to do with Bennett but Friday night, I will be victorious.”
A terrific undercard is taking shape that will feature some of the best prospects in the country.

Inspired by close friends Broner and Warren, Brandon Bennett inching closer to world title shot

 

Brandon Bennett takes on Jonathan Maicelo in 10-round Main event this Friday night at Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC

 

For Immediate Release

Washington, DC (August 25, 2015) This Friday night, August 28 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in the nation’s capital of Washington, DC, King’s Promotions will present a spectacular night of boxing that will feature some of the best talent in the United States.

In the main event, Brandon Bennett (19-1, 8 KO’s) will square off with former world title challenger Jonathan Maicelo (21-2, 12 KO’s) in a Lightweight bout scheduled for 10-rounds.

Bennett of Cincinnati, Ohio has been training hard for Maicelo, who has challenged for an interim world title.

“Training has been good. I been on weight for a few days. It’s been 2 hard months but the difficult part of training and dieting is over and I am ready to fight,” said Bennett.

When asked about Maicelo, Bennett was not concerned with his opponent, despite Maicelo having wins over Art Hovhannisyan and former world title challenger Fernando Angulo.

“He is an orthodox fighter. He likes to come in and he likes to counter punch. He may have fought for the title but I am the more experienced fighter. I have fought good guys and I get the best sparring. All of that doesn’t matter, because at the end of the day, we have to fight. ”

Bennett realizes that a win over Maicelo will push him very close to a fight for a world title and a win on Friday will give him another quality win to add to his resume.

“Hopefully in the next fight or two, I will be in position. Beating him should have me considered to be a top contender.”

If that is the case, Bennett will join gym mates and close friends, Adrien Broner and Rau’Shee Warren as the next fighter from trainer, Mike Stafford’s Cincinnati gym to fight for a world title. Bennett gets world class sparring and advice every day from Broner, a three-division world champion and Warren, a three-time U.S. Olympian and world title challenger.

The three have been inseparable for two decades

“I got into boxing at age eight. I was a football player. Rau’shee lived down the street from me and asked me to walk to the gym with him. He had already been boxing and Mike Stafford asked us to spar. He got the best of me that day but I stuck with it. Ironically, Adrien came in the next day and started boxing the very next day and Rau’shee sparred with him as well. Being around them is definitely an inspiration. I see what my friends have done and achieved and I know I will be next to have those accolades.”

A terrific undercard is taking shape that will feature some of the best prospects in the country.
