I am so proud of Fernely and so proud to be part of this. I’ve known Fernely Jr., forever and we are going to work hard and stay focused. He has been helping my boxing so much and last Saturday you saw it. I’m 42 years old and training with an 18-year-old. His speed is crazy.
We have one goal to make him champion and I promise Danbury we will be back to do some promotions here.
we are honored that the Feliz family has embraced us and made us part of their family.
I’m happy to announce that Fernely’s professional debut against (New York’s) Stephen Kirnon (2-3-1, 1 KO) will be held on Saturday, November 20, 2021, at the Crown Reef Resort in Myrtle Beach, SC., presented by Christy Martin Promotions. That will be the kickoff of what I believe will be an unbelievable career. I know everybody thinks of him as Danbury’s champion. It’s my job to make him world champion.
Today is a huge day. This kid, I can’t say enough about. He’s a two-time national champion, a Ringside World Champion, a Sugar BERT National Champ. It’s an honor to be with him and his family. They are beautiful people. My goal is to make this kid a champion. He loves this community. For me, it’s an honor. Thank you very much. Big things are coming to Danbury!
I’m so emotional. One thing I always say. Live your dream and don’t give up your dreams. Don’t listen to negative people or doubters. It’s going to be tough. You guys are going to be happy when you can go and support Fernely Jr.
I have helped a lot of champions be successful and I’m so happy to say this kid here will be very difficult for the heavyweight division. I’m not here to try and sell him. You will see yourselves. He’s a difficult guy to fight. In my prime, I couldn’t deal with him. He’s hard to hit. The type of fighter that will remind you of Cassius Clay so much. You think you have him and it’s impossible to touch him.
So happy to be part of this. I couldn’t be any prouder. It’s a dream come true. My eyes are going to get watery. This dream is going forward. You have no idea what’s coming. Danbury will be recognized by the world. We make killers here. This is a fighting town.
