Recent Jeter Promotions signee Kacie Wheeler will be back in Action on Saturday, November 22nd at The Hall at Live! Casino Hotel Maryland. Wheeler, from Fairfax, Virginia is 3-0 with all wins coming via knockout. She will be back in action against welterweight Jacelyn Shalaya Shade (1-1). "I think Kacie will become the first world champion for Jeter Promotions and we are happy to have her signed with us," said Tony Jeter. The 29 year-old Wheeler was a Division 1 sprinter for the University of William & Mary and held school records for the 400 meters and the four-by-400 relay.
The competitive Wheeler then started training in boxing out of spite for an ex-boyfriend,"I had no idea what to do after college. My boyfriend broke up with me and then the Pandemic hit. His sister used to braid my hair like I would see some of the women fighters, and then I saw an ad for round card girls on Barstool," said Wheeler. "They have this series called Rough-and-Rowdy, so I won the round card girl contest while competing in the fights. I fought eight-times in that and I had five amateur fights. I have an athletic background and I am a strength and conditioning coach for professional athletes."
Wheeler, who is promoted by Jeter Promotions, signed a managerial contract with the top female boxing manager Brian Cohen of Split-T Management. "Something about Brian is genuine and authentic and it is important that he has managed a lot of female fighters and he gave me the confidence to sign with Jeter Promotions. Signing with Jeter is a great fit as I will be fighting close to home and I know he will help me with securing the big opportunities."
Wheeler turned pro November 2, 2024 with a second round stoppage over Sarah Cunningham,. Wheeler followed that up with consecutive first round stoppages over Natali Fagan (1-0) and her most recent outing when she took out Shamiah Jones on September 20th in Fort Washington, Maryland.
