Split-T Management, the masterminds behind many a boxing career, has just thrown a hefty punch in the bantamweight division by signing Johanna “Wonder” Wonyou, an undefeated contender who’s been ducking and weaving her way through the ranks with the grace of a ballet dancer and the punch of a sledgehammer.
Wonyou’s not going solo. She’ll be tag-teaming with Brian Cohen, the go-to guy for managing female fighters in the squared circle, and the crew over at Block One Sports. This power trio is like the dream team of boxing management, ready to steer Wonyou towards the title bout spotlight.
Cohen can barely contain his excitement. “Johanna’s not just a hotshot in the ring; she’s a bantamweight division heavyweight,” he says. “She’s got talent that’s as obvious as a haymaker, and she’s been shaking up the division like a snow globe. In her last rumble, she steamrolled over an undefeated fighter in their own backyard. She’s been dodging fights because, let’s face it, who wants a piece of that? But with us, she’s going to be crashing through the title doors before you can say ‘knockout’.”
Hailing from London, with a pit stop in France, Wonyou’s not your average 23-year-old. She’s got a trophy case that would make a Spartan jealous: a Youth Amateur Gold Medal and a hat-trick of French Amateur championships. She’s 9-0, with two of those wins by way of knockout – talk about a heavy hand!
In just four years as a pro, Wonyou has made enough noise to wake up the bantamweight division. She’s already danced around the ring twice with Wendellin Cruz, who was cruising undefeated at 5-0-1 before Wonyou showed up.
On March 12, 2023, Wonyou grabbed the Commonwealth Boxing Council Bantamweight Title, stopping Egine Kayange cold in the fourth round in Kent, England. Fast forward to May 5, 2023, and she’s in Lazio, England, schooling Simona Salvatori over ten rounds to snatch the European Bantamweight title from an 8-0 undefeated champ.
Split-T Management Signs Former World Title Challenger Angelica Rascon
Split-T Management has just snagged a real gem by signing the former world title challenger, Angelica Rascon. This Texan powerhouse, hailing from El Paso, is not just any boxer; she’s got a record that speaks volumes: 11 wins, 2 losses, and 2 of those wins coming by way of knockout.
Brian Cohen is the mastermind who’ll be steering Rascon’s career now. He’s stoked about joining forces with her and is all geared up to guide her on the path to a world title. Angelica’s next fight is something of a homecoming; she’s set to step into the ring on March 1st in El Paso, Texas, at the County Coliseum. The local fans are in for a treat!
Rascon’s journey in the professional boxing ring kicked off on February 28, 2014, with a bang – she stopped Adilemme Murrieta in the fourth round. She’s also known for handing Johanna Porras her first defeat, a notable notch in her belt.
While Rascon has spent a good chunk of her career fighting in Mexico, she faced a tough bout against Yamileth Mercado on June 26, 2021. It was a crack at the WBC Super Bantamweight title, but Rascon fell short in a decision loss.
However, don’t count her out just yet. Rascon bounced back big time, snagging what’s arguably her career’s best win. She secured a majority decision over the highly touted Mia Ellis (7-1) on December 1st in Houston, Texas. This victory isn’t just a win; it’s a thunderous statement that Rascon is still a major player in the boxing scene.
