Salita Promotions and heavyweight boxer Jermaine Franklin have mutually agreed to end a promotional agreement effective immediately. Franklin is fresh off last weekend's career rejuvenating win over two-time Olympic medal winner Ivan Dychko. Dmitriy Salita, president of Salita Promotions, said, "at Salita Promotions, we pride ourselves on being able to discover precious gems, unearth them and polished them into world champions. When I first met Jermaine Franklin at a boxing gym in Saginaw, Michigan in 2018, I knew he had all the skills and the personality to become a big star on the American heavyweight boxing scene. He was talented but unknown. He was a club fighter at the time, but clearly, I could tell, he was destined for much more. I am grateful for the years we worked together, building and eventually engaging in big fights against big opponents on every platform. Now, he’s one of the best American heavyweights in the world. We wish him the best. I expect even greater achievements for him in the future."

Franklin saidm, "I would like to thank Salita Promotions for the last seven years helping the world know who Jermaine Franklin is. Salita Promotions gave me my first TV fight and introduced me to boxings fan who did not know me. I am grateful for that. My experience with Salita has prepared me to move forward and embark on a new journey on my own. I wish him success going forward."
