Nueva York, Nueva York (Julio 31, 2018)–Two members of El Matador Management stable, middleweights Lamar Russ & DeVaun Lee will be featured on the upcoming season of The Contender.

 

 

La muy esperada temporada de 12 episodios, de MGM Television y Paramount Television, will premiere on EPIX® on Aug. 24, 2018 en 10 PM ET / PT.

 

Russ of Wilmington, North Carolina has a record of 17-2 con ocho agujeros ciegos, while Lee of Queens, Nueva York tiene un récord de 10-3-1 con cinco knockouts.

DeVaun “Unique” Sotavento, Edad: 30, of Jamaica Queens, N.Y:
Cuando uno de sus amigos fue asesinado a tiros en 16, DeVaun “Unique” Lee knew he needed a way out from the mean streets of Queens. El boxeo lo mantiene recto. Lo mismo ocurre con largas horas cargando aviones y cuidando a su hija de cinco años.. El verdadero amor de su vida. Fatherhood and the sport are the motivation to take this NY State Middleweight championship to the next level.

 

“The Contender will be a good experience for me, and I appreciated to being added to the cast. I will be able to allow the world to learn about who I am and learn about what I do. It will be great to meet new people and learn about their lifestyle as well” dijo Lee.

Lamar “Omega” Russ, Edad: 31, de Wilmington, N.C:
Uno de los cuatro hijos criados por una madre soltera y la primera persona de su familia en graduarse de la universidad., Lamar “Omega” Russ takes pride in being the underdog, y debajo del exterior ruidoso hay un boxeador que necesita demostrar que puede poner su dinero donde está su boca. HBO, ESPN y un KO de primera ronda en Showtime hablan por completo.

 

“This is an opportunity to create a legacy for my son, y mi familia. I am a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity and we are tight family. I am looking to become the best and show the world that I am the best in the Contender. I am ready and willing to fight anybody they put in front of me. I want to thank my promoter Lou DiBella, my manager Felipe Gomez and The Contender for giving me this great opportunity in life.

 

“I am excited to have two of my guys on The Contender.” said their manager Felipe Gomez “Both of these fighters not only can fight, but they have an amazing life story to share with the world. This is a great opportunity and can be a life changer for both of my fighter’s career.”
