Warrior's Boxing Promotions Throws
a 1-2 Combination For Tsunami Relief
(MAY 3) HOLLYWOOD, FL – In addition to its commitment to bringing the
best in world-class boxing to fight fans, Warriors Boxing Promotions is
firmly vested in the community. With this in mind, on April 26, 2005,
the Hollywood-based promotional company donated the purses and
sanctioning fees for the IBF United States Atlantic Coast Regional
Heavyweight Championship bout between Kendrick Releford and Najee
Shaheed in an event to raise funds for tsunami relief, hosted by Richard
Dobal Productions, Inc. .
“The scope of devastation caused by the Asian tsunami last year hit home
for all of us. Because boxing is truly a global sport, and Indonesia
hosts many great events, several people in our boxing community had
family members directly touched by this tragedy,” said Warriors Boxing
Promotions Executive Vice President, Jessie Robinson. “It’s an honor and
privilege for Warriors to donate to this championship bout and help our
neighbors across the globe because there’s still so much work to be done
to help them rebuild.”
In Tuesday’s championship bout, Warriors Boxing Promotions, Inc.’s
Kendrick Releford won his fifth consecutive bout with a dominating 12
round unanimous decision (120 to 108 on all three judges scorecards) win
over Najee Shaheed. Releford controlled Shaheed with consistent stiff
jabs and thunderous straight right hands. He further confused the south
paw, Shaheed, with footwork and solid defense. With this impressive
victory, Releford improves to 13-4-1 with 5 KO’s and is looking to move
up and fight top ten contenders. After the bout, Releford commented that
from here on out, he’s looking for only big fights.
In other featured bouts, Miami Welterweight, Gil Reyes(15-2-1) scored an
8-round victory over Benji Singleton (25-98-5) and Veteran Junior
Welterweight, Juan Arroyo scored a 4th round TKO over Jerry Smith.
