2-time Dominican Olympian Leonel de los Santos Shipping up to Boston

Alex Rivera _ Santos.jpg
BOSTON (Maj 4, 2022) – Two-time Dominican Olympian, lightweight Leonel de los Santos (6-0, 5 Kos), may be settling in the Boston area to enhance his professional boxing career. I själva verket, he recently spent a month there preparing for his last fight, which resulted in a win by way of a 6-round decision this past March in his native Dominican Republic.


Santos’ manager, Ryan Roach, lives in Boston and he introduced his undefeated lightweight to trainer Alex Rivera, and that paid immediate dividends in terms of improvement.


Santos, 26, trained at the Somerville Boxing Club under Rivera, who trains 26-0 welterweight Rashidi Ellis, who Santos sparred with several times, and US Olympian Rashida Ellis, Rashidi’s sister.


“The conditions at our training camp in Boston were very good,” Santos said. “I learned a lot of new things about professional boxing from Alex in just a short time, especially my defense about dodging smaller boxers. He really helped my performance in my last fight.
Rivera only worked with Santos two weeks, but the two connected right away.


“Leonel is a good boxer with a lot of experience,” Rivera remembered. “He has speed and power. We worked on making him more technically sound. It’s about hitting without being hit. He is very tall for his weight class – 5’ 8’ or 5’ 9” – with a good reach. We got along right away, and it was like we had been working together for a long time. I think he can make some noise with his amateur background. He has all the tools. Reminds me a little of Ryan Garcia: tall and strong for his weight class. Leonel has what it takes.


“I wasn’t with Leonel for his last fight, but I did watch some highlights. The guy he fought (Andres Bens Zapata) could really take a punch. Leonel’s hands were swollen after the fight from hitting his opponent so much. Leonel hit him with everything he had. I noticed how his defense and distance had improved. That’s what we worked on. He kept his distance and had a clean fight.”


Santos, who has relatives living in nearby Lawrence, MA, is applying for a work visa to train with Rivera.


“I think training with Alex vastly improved Leonel’s boxing and timing,” Santos’ manager Roach added. “Alex worked a lot on distance, which will lead to more power behind his shots. I saw big changes in Leonel’s last fight. He applied the skills he learned with Alex, and I look forward to more.”


Fighter Locker’s growing stable of gifted boxers also includes California super flyweight Rocco “So Cal Kid” Santomauro (21-1, 6 Kos), New York’s ABF American West super lightweight Ray Jay “The Destroyer” Bermudez (16-0, 11 Kos), Connecticut’s ABF USA super welterweight Jimmy “Quiet Storm” Williams (18-5-2, 6 Kos), Colorado’s ABF American West super middleweight champion “The Amazing” Shawn McCalman (10-0, 6 Kos), Massachusetts super lightweight Adrian “Tonka” Sosa (12-0, 9 Kos), Florida super bantamweight Daniel “The Dedication” Bailey, Jr. (10-1, 5 Kos), Massachusetts featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. (4-0, 2 Kos), 2-time Brazilian Olympian & 2016 Olympic silver medalist Yuberjen Martinez, Brazilian Olympian Jorge Vivas, Dominican cruiserweight Roki “Rocky” Berroa (2-0, 1 KO), Dominican super welterweight Juan Solano Santos (1-0, 1 KO), Georgia super middleweight James Hagler, Jr. (2-1, 1 KO), Dominican featherweight Orlando Perez Zapata (10-0, 8 Kos), Dominican lightweight Isaelin Florian Henriguez (8-1, 4 Kos), Florida light heavyweight Robert Daniels, Jr. (6-0, 5 Kos), Irish light heavyweight Tommy “The Kid” O’Toole (3-0, 2 Kos), Texas super lightweight Miranda “La Alacrana” Reyes (5-1-1, 2 Kos), Massachusetts super featherweight Alex Rivera (3-0, 2 Kos), Kansas brothers, welterweight Marcus (3-0, 3 Kos) and super lightweight Marcell (1-0), and Utah brothers, ABF American West lightweight champion Ignacio Chairez (9-0-1, 5 Kos) and lightweight Gabriel Chairez (4-0-1, 2 Kos).

Hagler teams with Roach

Hagler family.jpg
(L-R) - Den sena, great Marvelous Marvin Hagler, his grandson James Jr., and son James

BOSTON (Februari 15, 2022) – There are few family names in boxing, especially in New England, as universally revered as Hagler and Roach.
They are part of boxing royalty.

There is a new connection as James Hagler, Jr, the grandson of the late Hall of Famer Marvelous Marvin Hagler, has signed an exclusive managerial contract with Fighter Locker, owned and operated by the nephew of Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, Boston-based Ryan Roach.

The plan is for Roach to have Hagler fight in Massachusetts, ideally in Brockton, the City of Champions in which Hagler as well as another Hall of Famer, Rocky Marciano, fought out of during their professional careers.

“I was looking for a manager and read about Ryan,” Hagler said. “I looked him up online, talked with him, and met him last weekend for the first time. He is not a greedy person. By far, he offered me the best deal I have ever received. He really wants to help me. Ryan’s a cool dude. I feel good about signing with him.

“Fighting someday in Brockton and Boston means a lot to me, because of my grandfather’s background, and that’s one of the reasons I signed with Ryan. My mother and father are from that area, and I still have a lot of family living on both sides living there. I’ll be the third member of the Hagler family to fight in New England, joining my grandfather and uncle (Robbie Simms)."

“I’m excited to be managing James,” Roach commented. “Right away, I was interested in a fighter with the Hagler name. I spoke with James and he’s a good kid who is all in. He wants to prove himself on his own and I get that, because I want to make it on my own terms, not my last name.
“We’re excited to get him fighting in New England. We’re going to do great things together. We plan on having him fight in Brockton, hopefully this summer, to bring boxing back to Brockton.”

The 31-year-old Hagler, who fights out of Atlanta, började inte boxas förrän han var 24. Why did he start so late?

“My grandfather didn’t want any of us (in the Hagler family) to box,” James explained. “I wanted to be a boxer since I was 3 eller 4. He didn’t want anybody in his family to go through what he did in the Sugar Ray Leonard fight. Min pappa (a boxing promoter in Atlanta) was an amateur boxer who fought in the Olympic Trials. He stopped boxing because my grandfather wouldn’t watch him fight. My father didn’t want to continue fighting.

“There’s a lot of pressure on me fighting because people expect me to be like my grandfather or want me to live up to the Hagler name. I feel good following in my grandfather’s footsteps. When guys fight me, it’s like their championship fight, because they want to say they beat a Hagler for bragging rights. I know that they will always have their best fight against me.”

James (2-1, 1 KO) had a relatively brief amateur career, fighting in Alabama and Georgia, and the southpaw made his pro debut December 14, 2019, in Ohio, when he stopped Michael Widmer in round one. He’s only had two fights since, winning one and losing the other, the latest this past November.

Hagler will fight as a super middleweight for now, but he intends to campaign as a middleweight in the same division his legendary grandfather owned for so many years. He does have a dream fight in mind, säger, “I met Muhammad Ali’s grandson (Nico Walsh). I’d love to fight him someday.”

Fighter Locker’s growing stable of gifted boxers also includes California super flyweight Rocco “So Cal Kid” Santomauro (21-1, 6 Kos), New York’s ABF American West super lightweight Ray Jay “The Destroyer” Bermudez (16-0, 11 Kos), Connecticut’s ABF USA super welterweight Jimmy “Quiet Storm” Williams (18-5-2, 6 Kos), Colorado’s ABF American West super middleweight champion “The Amazing” Shawn McCalman (10-0, 6 Kos), Massachusetts super lightweight Adrian “Tonka” Sosa (12-0, 9 Kos), Florida super bantamweight Daniel “The Dedication” Bailey, Jr. (10-0, 5 Kos), Massachusetts featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. (4-0, 2 Kos), 2-time Brazilian Olympian & 2016 Olympic silver medalist Yuberjen Martinez, Brazilian Olympian Jorge Vivas, 2-time Dominican Olympian, lightweight Leonel de los Santos (5-0, 5 Kos), Dominican cruiserweight Roki “Rocky” Berroa (2-0, 1 KO), Dominican super welterweight Juan Solano Santos (1-0, 1 KO), Dominican featherweight Orlando Perez Zapata (10-0, 8 Kos), Dominican lightweight Isaelin Florian Henriguez (8-1, 4 Kos), Florida light heavyweight Robert Daniels, Jr. (6-0, 5 Kos), Irish light heavyweight Tommy “The Kid” O’Toole (3-0, 2 Kos), Texas super lightweight Miranda “La Alacrana” Reyes (5-1-1, 2 Kos), Massachusetts super featherweight Alex Rivera (3-0, 2 KO), Kansas brothers, welterweight Marcus (3-0, 3 Kos) and super lightweight Marcell (1-0), and Utah brothers, ABF American West lightweight champion Ignacio Chairez (9-0-1, 5 Kos) and lightweight Gabriel Chairez (4-0-1, 2 Kos).

Fighter Locker signs Kansas City lightweight prospect Marcell Davidson

Davidson bros.jpg
Davidson brothers (L-R) Marcus & Marcell


BOSTON (Januari 11, 2022) – Kansas City (KS) lightweight Marcell Davidson has joined his younger brother, undefeated welterweight Marcus Davidson (2-0, 2 Kos), in Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker stable having recently signed an exclusive managerial contract.


The 24-year-old Marcell was a decorated amateur boxer, capturing the Ringside World Championships twice, in addition to winning a gold medal at the 2019 Nationella Golden Gloves Tournament. The 6’ 3” southpaw also won a silver medal at the 2017 Nationella Golden Gloves, as well as a bronze the following year at the The Gloves. He also competed in the Olympic Trials.


Davidson got into boxing almost by accident. He and Marcus were together playing football at a local recreation center. The season ended and they were about to sign up for baseball, when the boxing coach asked them what sport they were going to get into next. He told them that boxers are stronger than football players. Marcus was immediately a convert, but Marcell really wasn’t into it. He just ran around instead of training and eventually he was banned because he broke a rule. Så småningom, Marcell got his act together and he was allowed back in the gym a couple of years later. Both of the Davidson brothers have been there ever since.


As Marcell says, “My brother talks to everybody, and I follow.” So, when Marcus turned pro and signed a managerial contract with Roach, soon afterwards Marcell joined Fighter Locker.


“I was ready to turn pro and stayed in the gym training,” Marcell explained. “We were talking about which manager to sign with. We waited it out and stayed ready. My brother signed before me, and I listened to him talk about Ryan. My brother said Ryan was a great guy and the time was right for me to sign with him, alltför.


“Ryan is a great guy. I didn’t know anything about him – not even his family in boxing – but he’s a great guy who wants to help us and build our careers. I could definitely tell that he cares and takes care of his fighters.”

Davidson is slated to make his pro debut Feb. 12th on “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre,” presented by Vertex Promotions, på Moseley's On The Charles i Dedham, Massachusetts.
“I’m very excited,” Marcell spoke about his upcoming pro debut. “You won’t see it, but I’m excited inside. I’ve been waiting for this moment. I’d like to stay very busy this year and maybe move up to 6-rounders by my fifth or sixth pro fight.”


“Marcell is a very skilled fighter,” Roach commented about his newest fighter. “One of his best attributes, which I think will be a huge advantage, is hos 6’ 1” height. We have been discussing him fighting at 135-140 pounds. He is a very athletic, young man with speed and power. He was a nationally ranked fighter who went to the Olympic Qualifiers, so this is a huge signing for my company. I’m excited to have the Davidson brothers under one stable, Fighter Locket. They are very close and do everything together. This will be fun!"


Fighter Locker’s growing stable of gifted boxers also includes California super flyweight Rocco “So Cal Kid” Santomauro (21-1, 6 Kos), New York’s ABF American West super lightweight Ray Jay “The Destroyer” Bermudez (15-0, 11 Kos), Connecticut’s ABF USA super welterweight Jimmy “Quiet Storm” Williams (18-5-2, 6 Kos), Colorado’s ABF American West super middleweight champion “The Amazing” Shawn McCalman (10-0, 6 Kos), Massachusetts super lightweight Adrian “Tonka” Sosa (12-0, 9 Kos), Florida super bantamweight Daniel “The Dedication” Bailey, Jr. (9-0, 5 Kos), Massachusetts featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. (3-0, 2 Kos), 2-time Brazilian Olympian & 2016 Olympic silver medalist Yuberjen Martinez, Brazilian Olympian Jorge Vivas, 2-time Dominican Olympian, lightweight Leonel de los Santos (5-0, 5 Kos), Dominican cruiserweight Roki “Rocky” Berroa (2-0, 1 KO), Dominican super welterweight Juan Solano Santos (1-0, 1 KO), Dominican featherweight Orlando Perez Zapata (10-0, 8 Kos), Dominican lightweight Isaelin Florian Henriguez (8-1, 4 Kos), Florida light heavyweight Robert Daniels, Jr. (5-0, 5 Kos), Irish light heavyweight Tommy “The Kid” O’Toole (2-0, 2 Kos), Texas super lightweight Miranda “La Alacrana” Reyes (5-0-1, 2 Kos) ), and Utah brothers, ABF American West lightweight champion Ignacio Chairez (9-0-1, 5 Kos) and lightweight Gabriel Chairez (4-0-1, 2 Kos).

Lawrence’s Undefeated junior welterweight prospect 11-0 Adrian Sosa finds new home in Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker stable

(L-R) Trainer Sean Farley & Adrian Sousa

BOSTON (Augusti 18, 2021) – Undefeated junior welterweight prospect Adrian “Tonka” Sosa (11-0, 9 Kos) has found a new home having signed a managerial contract with Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker.

The 26-year-old Sosa, fighting out of Lawrence (MA), was a hot commodity after defeating previously undefeated Khiry Todd (7-0) i 2018 by way of a 6-round majority decision, which led to Sosa signing a promotional contract with DiBella Entertainment. Sosa was unhappy fighting about only four times against journeymen through mid-2019, when the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown boxing.

“I had issues with opponents who kept falling out,” Sosa explained. “Foxwoods is only 2-hours from Lawrence, and I was losing credibility with my fans because fights kept falling out. I wanted to step up to showcase my skills, but I wasn’t getting good fights, and then COVID hit. I called (Lou) DiBella and he gave me my release.

“That fight (vs. Khiary) is the biggest for me so far. People kept asking me why an undefeated fighter (6-0) would fight another undefeated prospect (Todd was 7-0). He wanted the fight and called me out in a disrespectful way on social media. I took the fight and knew I was faster than him. That fight led to me signing with DiBella.”

Despite his inactivity the past 2-plus years, in terms of fights, Sosa has kept busy in the gym, and he greatly benefited from four months in training camp this past May in Ft. Lauderdale (FL), sparring 50 v med George Kambosos, Jr. for his since postponed fight versus unified World lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez. Sosa used social media to get the sparring gig.

“I reached out to him on social media,” Sosa explained. “Every time he posted about his fight against Lopez, I replied asking him to bring me to his camp for sparring. One day I was DM’d by him on Instagram. He let me know his team watched my video and they wanted to bring me to his camp. I learned a lot there, more about my style, because I would just sit back as a boxer-puncher. I started to counter more, and my defense opened. I got a little more game from camp. When he did something, I wanted to come right back with it. The camp brought more of the fighter out of me. It opened my range and sharpened my defense.”

Sosa is a promotional free agent who has a new manager, Ryan Roach. The junior welterweight prospect is expected to be back in the ring next month at a site and date to soon be announced.

“I signed with Ryan because he is genuine and has proven himself,” Sosa noted. “Some doors were open to me, but he kept showing interest in me, and he never closed the door. He’s trustworthy and I want to be part of what he’s doing, and sign with a major promoter.”

“Signing Adrian means a lot to me personally because it took a lot of work over the past year,” manager Ryan Roach commented. “We built a relationship and I’ve proven to him what I do for my fighters. Adrian is special; I believe he could be one of the best fighters to come out of this region. He is a quick, talented fighter who has power and can work off of his defense very well. He also has a great work ethic. Adrian has all the tools to be a world champion. I look forward to guiding him as we are looking for tough fights right out of the gate. He’s been inactive but he’s ready, he’s learned a lot in the last two years. He was in camp with George Kambosos getting him ready for Teofimo Lopez I think that proves what kind of fighter Adrian is. Tonka will be a household name soon.”


Fighter Locker’s growing stable of gifted boxers include California super flyweight Rocco “So Cal Kid” Santomauro (21-1, 6 Kos), Troy, NY ABF American West Super Lightweight Ray Jay “The Destroyer” Bermudez (12-0, 9 Kos), ABF USA super welterweight Jimmy “Tyst storm” Williams (18-5-2, 6 Kos), ABF American West super middleweight champion “The Amazing” Shawn McCalman (8-0, 4 Kos), super bantamvikt Daniel “G.D.F.E.” Bailey, Jr. (7-0, 4 Kos), lätta Leonel de los Santos (3-0, 3 Kos), a2-time Dominican Republic Olympian, Boston featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. (1-0, 1 KO), Pro-debuting Dominikanska republiken Welterweight Juan Solano, Salt Lake City, 2016 Brazilian Olympic silver medalist Yuberjen Martinez, Brazilian Olympian Jorge Vivas, Colorado super middleweight Marvin “Too Much” Cordova, Jr. (23-2-1, 12 Kos), West Palm Beach, FL light heavyweight Robert Daniels, Jr. (4-0, 4 Kos), pro-debut Irish light heavyweight Thomas O’Toole, and Utah brothers, ABF American West lightweight champion Ignacio ordförande (9-0-1, 5 Kos) och lätt Gabriel ordförande (4-0-1, 2 Kos).

Signs with Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker

Thomas O_Toole.jpg



BOSTON (Juli 20, 2021) – Like so many of his fellow Irish boxers, amateur standout Thomas O’Toole is following the green and gold path from Ireland to Boston, after signing a managerial contract with Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker.


The 23-year-old O’Toole is a promising light heavyweight prospect who captured top honors at the 2019 Irish Elite Championships. Förra året, the Irish southpaw upset pre-tournament favorite Tony Browne in semifinals of the Irish Elite Championships, and he lost by split decision in the final to Emmet Brennan, who is representing Ireland in Tokyo at the Olympics.


Irish boxers who’ve moved to the Boston area as a base for their professional careers include WBO World Super Middleweight Champion Stevie “Celtic Warrior” Collins (36-3, 21 KOs – 1986-97), WBA World light middleweight title challenger Sean Mannion (42-14-1, 13 Kos) - 1979-93), och tunga Kevin “The Clones Colossus” McBride (35-10-1 (29 Kos) - 1992-2011), best known as the man who knocked “Iron” Mike Tyson into retirement.


“I’ve only heard good things about Ryan, and I like the family aspect he talked about for his fighters,” O’Toole explained why he signed with Fighter Locker. “I know every manager will talk about how they will take care of you, but I really believed you, and I trust you will get a great promoter for me when the time comes. Mer, you have some Olympians, so you’re not taking just any and all fighters to sign. You want champions, which was the main thing for me. Knowing I’m in a stable with Olympians/national champions is great.


“I always intended to turn pro after Tokyo and had interest in waiting around for 2024 (next Olympics in Paris). It all worked out. I achieved more than I had hoped as an amateur an at just 23, I can’t wait to see what the next few years bring.”
O’Toole is tentatively scheduled to make his pro debut September 25th i Boston.
“Signing Thomas was very special to me,” manager Ryan Roach said. “He is one of the best in Ireland and in a very elite class. We talked a few times and we really hit it off. Förra fredagen, he shot me a message saying, ‘I’m all yours.’ I was ecstatic.

He really is a great fighter with a lot of skill. He’s a southpaw with some serious pop. Thomas is very young, so we will see which weight class suits him well. Boxing fans in New England, particularly in Boston, will love him. He’s a great person and fighter.”

Fighter Locker’s growing stable of gifted boxers include California super flyweight Rocco “So Cal Kid” Santomauro (21-1, 6 Kos), Troy, NY ABF American West Super Lightweight Ray Jay “The Destroyer” Bermudez (12-0, 9 Kos), ABF USA super welterweight Jimmy “Tyst storm” Williams (18-5-2, 6 Kos), ABF American West super middleweight champion “The Amazing” Shawn McCalman (8-0, 4 Kos), super bantamvikt Daniel “G.D.F.E.” Bailey, Jr. (7-0, 4 Kos), lätta Leonel de los Santos (3-0, 3 Kos), en 2-Time Dominikanska republiken olympisk, Boston featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. (1-0, 1 KO), Pro-debuting Dominikanska republiken Welterweight Juan Solano, Salt Lake City, 2016 Brazilian Olympic silver medalist Yuberjen Martinez, Brazilian Olympian Jorge Vivas, Colorado super middleweight Marvin “Too Much” Cordova, Jr. (23-2-1, 12 Kos), West Palm Beach, FL light heavyweight Robert Daniels, Jr. (4-0, 4 Kos), Utah Brothers, ABF American West lightweight champion Ignacio ordförande (9-0-1, 5 Kos) och lätt Gabriel ordförande (4-0-1, 2 Kos).

Marvin Cordova, Jr. & Robert Daniels, Jr. Join Fighter Locker stable

Lämna en kommentar

BOSTON (Maj 25, 2021) – Veteran boxerMarvin “Much Too Much” Cordova, Jr and promising prospectRobert Daniels, Jr. are the latest additions toRyan Roach’s growing Fighter Locker stable.

"Herr. (Jimmy) Burchfield (Cordova’s promoter) linked me up with Marvin,” Roach said. We had a few short conversations on the phone, and it just happened. Marvin is very passionate about the sport, and he’s read to show the worked he still has a lot left in his tank. He truly is a special fighter with a high-caliber resume including opponents likeVictor Ortiz ochJoselito Lopez. He has a great team around him now and we are really looking forward to getting him going.

“Robert is a great young man coming from a family just like mine. I am ready to get him going with a great trainer inKevin Cunningham.  I am proud to add him to the Fighter Locker team. He is really a talented fighter that had a few bad breaks early on in his career. He had managerial issues and so forth. Look for Daniels Jr. during the next year!"

The 36-year-old Cordova (23-2-1, 12), is a super middleweight from Pueblo, Colorado. A solid amateur who was a bronze medalist at the 2002 US. Under-19 and 2003 Polisen Athletic League, Cordova turned pro in 2014, but his pro career has been interrupted because spent 8 years in prison. He also defeated future pro world championDaniel Jacobs

"Jag är 36 but a young 36,” Cordova said. “I started boxing at 4. I had 242 amateur fights and was chosen as one of the top amateur boxers in the country. I spent 8 years in prison, and it made me a better person and hungrier fighter. I have some unfinished business to take care of. I really beat Joselito Lopez (Lopez won an 8-round decision). I hit him with a big shot in the sixth round, but they let him stay down for 4 minuter, claiming he was hit low.”

In his last fight this past January, Cordova captured the NBA super middleweight title by stopping 56-30-3Hector Velazquez in round four, adding to his awards display case that also includes his Interim WBC Youth World, WBA NABA U.S. lätt weltervikt, and GBU Youth light welterweight title belts.

“Ryan Roach believes in me,” Cordova noted. “I’m stronger and ready for the next step. I had talked with a friend, Jimmy Williams, about signing with a good manager. He told me Ryan was a good manager who loves his fighters and really cares about him. My promoter, ‘Mr. B’ (Jimmy Burchfield), hooked me up with Ryan. He calls to make sure I’m good and he can get me to the elite level once again.”

Daniels (4-0, 4 Kos) is the son of former WBA cruiserweight World championRobert “Preacher Man” Daniels (49-10-1, 41 Kos), who became world champion in 1989, when he decisioned the future Hall of FamerDwight Muhammad Qawi.

“There’s a little bit of added pressure as the son of a world champion boxer,” southpaw Daniels admitted. I’ve heard things like ‘he’s not going to be like his father, he doesn’t have what it takes to be world champion.’”

Now fighting out of West Palm Beach, Florida, Miami native Daniels is now trained by Cunningham. Managerial issues resulted in him fighting only four times as a pro during his nearly 5-year career.

“I was introduced to Ryan by my friend, Daniel Bailey (a member of Fighter Locker), and I believe Ryan can get me to a world title,” Daniels remarked. “The main reason I signed with Ryan is I like his personality. He’s easy to talk with and before I even signed with him, he reached out to me to see how things were going. And that’s a big reason why I did sign with him.

“I was supposed to sign with managers are few times, but it never went anywhere, and I wasn’t getting fights. I have this great opportunity now and I’m going to take full advantage of it.”

US. Army veteran Daniel Bailey, Jr. fighting this Thursday at West Point

Lämna en kommentar

BOSTON (April 20, 2021) – Recently discharged U.S. Army specialist 4th klassDaniel Bailey Jr. will be fighting in front of soldiers this Thursday night at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York.

The 24-year-old Bailey (3-0, 2 Kos), fighting out of Tampa (FL), kommer att mötaLuis Alvarado (1-2) in a 4-round featherweight bout on a Ring City USA card, the first live boxing in New York since before the pandemic.

All the action will be streamed live (9 pm. OCH / 6 p.m. PT) on the Twitch.tv app, börjar vid 9 p.m. OCH / 6 p.m. PT, as well as via the Armed Forces Network Europe and Pacific (AFNTV). 

“I’ve never been to West Point,” Bailey said. “I’m excited to fight there in front of other soldiers. I’m honored. We’re all brothers and sisters in arms and I want to put on a great show for them. I’m bringing the heat!"

“This is a great opportunity for Daniel,” Bailey’s managerRyan Roach (Fighter Locker) commented. “Ring City USA has really taken over during the pandemic, putting on some really great shows. Ring City reached out to me looking to get some U.S. Army veterans on the card and Daniel answered the call, som alltid. I’m excited for this and Daniel is ready for the big stage.”

Born in Miami, Bailey’s cousin isRandall “The Knock-Out King” Bailey (46-9, 39 Kos), the 2-division World champion who was considered one of the hardest pound-4-pound punchers of his era (1996-2016).  

Bailey was honorably discharged from the military this past March 19 after serving a 6-year stint. He was a 4-time U.S. Army champion rated as high as No. 1 in the country as an amateur boxer. He was stationed at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs (CO), where Daniel was enrolled in the special soldier-athlete program there, World Class Athlete Program (WCAP). 

Bailey made his pro debut November 7, 2020, när han slutadeNoe Marquez Talamantes in the second-round of their fight in Mexico. His last action was an opening-round knockout ofJahterris Lewis last month in Alabama.

During his solid amateur boxing career, Bailey benefitted from sparring world championsTerence Crawford ochJamel Sill, among the more notables.

“I’ve become a much more complete fighter since I turned pro,” Bailey explained. “I have more control, like fully hydrating after a weigh in. I’m like a kid in a candy store now. I’ve made changes and sparring top guys has really helped my conditioning.

“This is the right place, right time for me,” Bailey concluded. I’m already on weight and ready to fight. It was a good time for me to get out of the army to pursue my dream.”

I am sure that this new career change will be successful.

“I want to thank all those who have supported me as an amateur boxer and member of Team Colombia. I have learned a lot and put the name of country, Colombia, at the top through discipline. I will continue to count on their continued support throughout my professional career.”

Jimmy Williams får äntligen sin "världstitelkamp"

Lämna en kommentar

BOSTON (Mars 2, 2021) - New Haven (CT) super weltervikt boxare Jimmy “Tyst storm” Williams kommer äntligen att få det han kallar "sin världstitelkamp" ikväll mot den tidigare världsmästaren Yuri Foreman I en 8-runda anfall för det lediga amerikanska boxningsförbundet USA Super Welterweight Championship, på Kentucky Center for Afroam Americans i Louisville, Kentucky.

Förman (35-3, 10 Kos), slåss av Brooklyn, fångade World Boxing Association (WBA) Super weltervikt världstitel i 2009, När han vann ett enhälligt beslut om 12-runda kontra försvarande mästare Daniel Santos (32-3-1).

”Vi sparrade tillbaka när jag var liten när jag tränade på Joe Grier Boxing Academy i Patterson, New Jersey,”Williams förklarade.” Joe var den som gav mig mitt smeknamn, "Tyst storm." Yuri är en riktig världsmästare. Jag har i princip kommit från ingenstans för att dela ringen med en världsmästare. Vad vi gör är vad boxning handlar om. Det handlar inte om ålder; han är 40 Och jag är 34 år betyder ingenting. Jag är ingen topphund, Det är förmodligen därför de erbjöd mig kampen, Men jag är en riktig kämpe som kommer att vara med med en världsmästare. Det här är min världstitelkamp!  Win, förlora, eller rita, Jag kommer att slåss mot en världsmästare. Jag är inte rädd för någon. Det handlar inte om pengar, Det är vem jag är, Och jag stiger alltid upp till utmaningen. Detta kommer att bli en stor kamp. ”

Williams (16-5-2, 5 Kos) är stolt över att vara en av de sällsynta fotbollsspelarna som har lyckats boxning. Han var en framstående cornerback vid södra Connecticut State University och bjöd in till flera NFL -testläger. Han kom nära att göra snittet med då Oakland Raiders.

”Jag har alltid varit en boxare i hjärtat,”Sa Williams, ”Så fotboll var lätt för mig. Det var fantastiskt att få samtal från NFL Scouts. Jag gick bort från fotboll för boxning. Jag är en tidigare division 2 College fotbollsspelare som slåss mot en världsmästare. Jag visste när det var dags att lämna fotboll, Men jag är inte redo att lämna boxning än. Jag behöver inte boxas. Jag är utbildad, arbeta i samhället, Och jag är en far. Jag är välsignad att vara boxning och jag vet när det är dags att hänga upp mina handskar. ”

Williams boxade inte förrän efter sin mamma, Belinda, mördades i 2008 och hennes fall förblir olöst. Han förlorade sin far till cancer.

”Denna kamp för Jimmy är den överlägset största av sin karriär,”Williams managerRyan Roach (Fighter Locker) kommenterade. "Det är ett måste vinna för att få honom tillbaka på rätt spår. Han vet vad han måste göra. Han gjorde ett flytt till Veloz Boxing på Rhode Island och han är en annan kämpe än vad han var i sina två sista slagsmål. Bara att vara runt" Boo Boo " (världsmästareDemetrious Andrade) Och de killarna där har Jimmy där han behöver vara för denna kamp. ”

Williams har blivit befordrad avJimmy BurchfieldS klassiska underhållning och sport (CES) sedan han blev proffs 2013.

”Vi har en nära relation,”Burchfield kommenterade.” Jag vände honom proffs, fick honom på nationell tv några gånger, och till och med deltog i hans bröllop. Jag är väldigt stolt över honom. Han har varit oerhört lojal mot CES som vi har för honom. Detta är en fantastisk möjlighet. Han tvekade inte en minut för att ta denna kamp. Han har en ny tränare, Brian Johnson, Och Jimmy har kört dåligt och ut från New Haven till Providence för att träna. Jag tror att han är i sin översta form av sitt liv, Eftersom han vet vikten av denna kamp. Han förtjänar att ha denna möjlighet.

Något speciellt med hans kamp ikväll mot Foreman för Williams, en afroamerikan, kämpar på den här platsen (Kentucky Center for African Americans) I hemstaden för hans hjälte,Muhammad Ali.

”Jag hyllar alla människor som har levt min dröm,”Williams kommenterade.” Det är vad jag representerar. Vi har tappat många människor under det senaste året. Att slåss i Louisville är stort för mig eftersom det är hemmet för 'det största,'Muhammad Ali. Jag tittar mer på Ali för hans karaktär och vad han stod för än hans boxning. Han stod för något och förlorade sin karriärs bästa på grund av det. Jag försöker vara som honom när det gäller vem jag är. Han gav mig förtroendet vara den jag vill vara i livet. Jag har läst varje bok om honom. Jag vägrar att ge upp som Ali. Jag är en throwback -fighter. ”
