OVERWINNING BOKSEN PROMOTIES INKTEN NATIONALE GOUDEN HANDSCHOENEN KAMPIOEN KIANTE IRVING

PITTSBURGH – Augustus 29, 2018 – De Victory Boxing Promotions van Chris Middendorf heeft een amateur onder de radar getekend Kiante Irving op een promotionele deal. De 24 -jarige middengewicht zal deze zondag zijn professionele debuut maken in West Virginia.

 

 

 

Een 6'3″ middengewicht, Irving begint het debuut van zondag met een National Golden Gloves Championship op zijn naam, de 165-pond divisie in de 2018 toernooi. Ondanks een hoop staats- en nationale titels onder zijn riem, Irving begon laat met boksen, vergeleken met zijn leeftijdsgenoten.

 

 

Hij was 16 toen hij de sportschool van Tom Yankello binnenliep, zich aangetrokken voelen tot de vierkante cirkel nadat hij zijn plek in andere sporten niet kon vinden. Opgegroeid door een alleenstaande moeder, boksen was een uitlaatklep voor Irving, en diende als een ontsnapping uit de armoede en stress die in zijn gezinsleven schuilden. Al snel werd duidelijk dat boksen lange tijd een deel van zijn toekomst zou zijn.

 

 

 

Een nederige geest, Irving hield zijn hoofd gebogen en zijn oog op de bal gericht tijdens verschillende familietrauma's, waaronder een uitzetting en de bijna fatale strijd van zijn broer met de ziekte van Chrohn. Zijn jongere broer, die hij noemt als inspiratie en rolmodel, overleefde het penseel met de dood om brandweerman te worden. Irving hoopt zijn tijd in de ring te gebruiken om het bewustzijn van de ziekte te vergroten, en om de kans te grijpen om zijn dromen waar te maken, net zoals zijn broer de afgelopen jaren heeft gedaan.

 

 

 

Na zijn gouden handschoenen overwinning, Irving's trainer Tom Yankello, en zijn broer en co-manager Mark Yankello, samen met Irving, kwam tot het besluit dat het tijd was om toe te treden tot de professionele rangen. De twee managers, opererend onder de vlag van Tom Yankello Boxing, Inc., verbonden met bokspromotor Chris Middendorf en Victory Boxing Promotions. Middendorf, die heeft bijgedragen aan de opbouw van de carrières van veel van de wereldkampioenen van vandaag, maakte van de gelegenheid gebruik om met Irving en de Yankellos samen te werken.

 

 

 

“Ik ben erg opgewonden om Kiante toe te voegen aan de stal van Victory Boxing,” zei Middendorf. Ik had het genoegen een reeks shows te doen in Pittsburgh met weltergewicht Sammy Vasquez, met als hoogtepunt een ESPN en vervolgens een ShowBox-show, en een reeks evenementen in het Consol Energy Center [nu de PPG Arena.] Ik kan niet wachten om terug te zijn in Pittsburgh, een andere topkandidaat promoten. Het is echt een geweldige sportstad, en ze komen echt uit om hun lokale atleten te steunen.”

 

 

 

Middendorf was complimenteus van de Yankello Brothers. “Ik heb zijn trainer en medemanager gekend, Tom en Mark Yankello, respectievelijk, door reputatie voor vele jaren, en hebben genoten van de samenwerking met hen. Toen Mark me voor het eerst vertelde over Kiante, Ik wist meteen dat ik met de Yankellos wilde werken en Kiante Irving wilde promoten. Met zijn geweldige amateurcarrière, hij is klaar om een ​​professional te worden.”

 

 

 

De toekomst ziet er rooskleurig uit (en druk) voor Irving. “Ik ben van plan Kiante op dezelfde manier te bouwen en te verhuizen als Ed Brown en Jaron Ennis. Ik heb hem in zijn eerste jaar minimaal acht gevechten beloofd, en ik weet dat we meer zullen doen. Hij is een begaafd atleet en het zal iets zijn om hem te zien ontwikkelen tot een van de beste middleweights.”

 

 

 

Voor zijn deel, Tom Yankello is enthousiast over de toekomst van de jonge bokser met Middendorf en Victory Boxing Promotions. “Ik ben erg blij met Victory Boxing Promotions. Ik ken Chris al vele jaren, en hij heeft een geweldig cv en is betrokken geweest bij het opbouwen van de carrières van elite boksers zoals Terence Crawford, Leo Santa Cruz, en Nonito Donaire. We weten dat we in goede handen zijn, en dat Chris weet hoe hij Kiante moet verplaatsen en ontwikkelen.”

 

 

 

“Ik ben gewoon opgewonden om mijn professionele carrière in beweging te krijgen,” zei Irving over de ondertekening. “Mijn managers hebben er vertrouwen in, en ik ben ervan overtuigd dat we succesvol zullen zijn onder de vlag van Victory Boxing, en we gaan meteen aan het werk.”

 

 

 

Irivng maakt aanstaande zondag zijn professionele debuut op Mountaineer Casino Racetrack & Toevlucht, versus Vincent Burkhalter uit Philadelphia. Tickets zijn verkrijgbaar via www.mademenboxing.com.
