Warriors Boxing z dumą ogłasza podpisanie kontraktu z Kalvin . w wadze średniej z Arkansas “Ostry sos” Henderson do umowy promocyjnej.
Z mózgami, które wspierają salceson, 26-letni Henderson (6-0, 3 KO) posiada tytuł licencjata Uniwersytetu w Arkansas w zakresie edukacji muzycznej ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem perkusji. Pomimo tego, że właśnie 60 walczy jako bokser-amator, Henderson wstał do #4 w kraju, fighting in elite national tournaments and winning four Arkansas Golden Gloves Championships, wśród wielu innych wyróżnień.
But the unpaid ranks were never Henderson’s ultimate aspiration. “My goal was always to turn professional,” wyjaśnił. “I was just getting my pedigree in the amateurs. Amateur boxing is very political and if I’m going to get things like cuts from headbutts, I might as well get paid for it.”
I tak, Henderson turned professional in April 2016 and has torn through his first six opponents.
“This is my dream job. Ever since I stated boxing at age 15, I’ve been hanging up pics of Roy Jones Jr., and Oscar De La Hoya, while dreaming of being a pro fighter. Signing with Warriors is a big blessing and a huge step towards my goal. I can’t say how happy inside I am to be able to showcase my talents and make things happen.”
Henderson trains at Straightright Boxing & Fitness in Springdale, Arkansas, with trainer Kevin Lightburn, a man he calls his second father. “I met him in 2012 and he has helped me so much, not just in boxing, but in life as well. We’re so close, he was in my wedding party.”
A boxer who can punch, Henderson cites his education as a major factor in his ring success. “I have a great jab, but it’s my boxing IQ that is my strongest asset. I am very smart in there. Boxing is a chess match. Opponents are quick or strong or sometimes both, but they can’t think like I do in the ring. I break them down mentally.”
“I am beyond thrilled to have Kalvin sign with Warrior’s Boxing,” said Henderson’s manager, Shane Shapiro. “Kalvin has a large following in his area. He is a hard worker with rare talent and I believe with Leon’s guidance he will become world champion.”
Henderson says signing with Warriors is not only good for his boxing career, but also a road to a better place for he and wife Danielle and their kids.
“My main goal is to take care of my family. I’m going to use my skills and talent to make sure they are financially ok. Z tym, of course I want to win numerous belts. I would like to thank God, moja drużyna, and my family for this amazing opportunity. It allows me to continue to showcase my talents and skillsets in the ring, and also the chance to continue on track on the path to my first world title with the help of Warriors.”
“Kalvin jest obiecującym wojownikiem o ogromnej popularności w swoim regionie,” powiedział Prezydent Wojowników, Leon Margules. “Wierzymy, że ma narzędzia i zdolność do zostania mistrzem. Cieszę się, że zdecydował się z nami podpisać i nie mogę się doczekać, aby pomóc mu osiągnąć swoje cele.” |
