Misfits Boxing, normally a promoter of social media crossover boxers, announced the signing of a genuine boxer, J’hon Ingram, a 4-0 lightweight fighting out of Las Vegas. Ingram will compete under the Misfits Boxing banner on Saturday on a DAZN-broadcast show in Miami. All four of the 23 year-old Ingram's pro fights have ended via stoppage. Told he has the ingredients to be ‘the next Floyd Mayweather’ by the man himself, Ingram is ready to kick-start his career with Misfits Boxing. The North Carolina-native, combines hand speed with knockout power, as seen in sparring footage from inside the Mayweather Gym last year, which showed Ingram dropping former WBA title holder  Rolly Romero to the canvas.

 

Ingram said: “Miami is a great place to fight. I love the culture, Scarface, the beach, the food. I fought in Miami before in an exhibition and the fans love me in Miami. This is a great opportunity on both sides, with me joining as a professional fighter. Being a rising star and Misfits Boxing wanting to put on more pro fights, it’ll be a great collaboration. I’m just excited to show people my talent.”

 

Mams Taylor, co-president of Misfits Boxing, said: “I can’t tell you how excited everyone at Misfits Boxing is, to be able to add this superstar-in-the-making to our roster. J’hon Ingram is prodigious talent, with the style, the look and the charisma to be a genuine crossover star. This young fighter was in-demand, everyone wanted his signature, but he picked Misfits Boxing, and we are thrilled he did.”

 

Kalle Sauerland, co-preisdent of Misfits Boxing, added: “J’hon Ingram is a marquee signing for Misfits Boxing. He is quick, he is slick, and he is incredibly spiteful.  This young man has everything in his locker to be the next superstar to emerge from the US and follow in the footsteps of Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis, among others. When you see J’hon make his Misfits Boxing debut, you will very quickly understand why he was given that seal of approval from Mayweather Jr., but given he is knocking out opponents left, right and center, don’t blink or you might miss it!”
