Wise Owl Boxing is jazzed up to roll out the red carpet for super bantamweight Javon Woodard, who’s just inked a management deal with them.
Woodard’s career will be steered by none other than Lamont Roseborough, adding some serious muscle to his corner.
Hailing from Raleigh, North Carolina, and now throwing punches in Atlanta, Woodard’s racked up a scorecard of 12-2, with a whopping 10 of those wins by knockout. This guy doesn’t just win; he makes sure his opponents remember him!
Mark Habibi from Wise Owl Boxing couldn’t hold back his excitement: “Javon’s not just your regular talented fighter; he’s a human highlight reel in the ring. His dedication is through the roof, and his hunger for boxing glory? Well, let’s just say it’s more ravenous than a wolf in a meat shop. Sure, he took a hit with that split decision loss in an Overtime-promoted brawl, but hey, every great story needs a bit of drama, right? Now, with a fresh team, we’re all set to rocket Javon back to the top, where he’s meant to be.”
Lamont Roseborough chimed in, “Teaming up with a powerhouse like Javon? It’s a no-brainer. The guy’s a workhorse, completely married to the sport. As we roll into 2024, I can’t wait to watch him climb the ladder to boxing stardom.”
Woodard himself had some words too: “Mark and I, we clicked before we even chatted boxing. It’s not all about business; it’s about the vibe. He’s more than a manager; he’s like a Swiss Army knife in the boxing world, getting me into the right rooms at the right time.”
Starting his boxing journey at nine, thanks to a fiery temper, Woodard found his zen in the ring. His amateur record? A jaw-dropping 89-12, littered with National Championship wins. “This year, I’m not just aiming to be a contender; I’m gunning for it. With Mark and Wise Owl on my side, the sky’s the limit,” he declared.
Describing his style as ‘boxer-puncher,’ Woodard’s a blend of elegance and ferocity in the ring. “Boxing’s my world,” he says, “and my son’s my rocket fuel, driving me towards those big dreams.”
Guided by trainer Kenny Williams, Woodard’s confidence is sky-high: “I’m not just another name in boxing; I’m the name. I’m ready to climb that ladder, fight anyone above me, and snatch that world title shot.”
Joining the ranks of Wise Owl Boxing, Woodard shares the stable with the likes of former world title challenger Brandon Adams, world-ranked Charles Conwell, and junior welterweight sensation D’Angelo Evans.
