WBC Continental Americas Light Heavyweight Champion Prince Badi Ajamu Agrees to Management Deal With SCORE! Media
Media firm to manage all business affairs of light heavy contender.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 23, 2004 -- SCORE! Media, the bleeding edge
sports and entertainment media firm, has agreed in principle to manage WBC
Continental Americas Light Heavyweight Champion, Prince Badi Ajamu. The 32 year
old Philadelphia native has a record of 22-2-1 and is currently ranked 29th in
the world by the WBC and 15th by the USBO. “I came to know of the Prince through
my East Coast network. I’ve seen him box both on ESPN2 and Showtime and when I
learned that he was managing and promoting himself, I suggested that SCORE! take
a prominent role in managing a career that is on the upswing by virtue of his
dominant performance in the WBC Continental Americas championship fight. We
agreed to go forward on Saturday,” disclosed Dennis Bernstein, SCORE! Media’s
Chairman from his Los Angeles office.
“2004 has been a both year of
transition and increased exposure for the light heavyweight division. The
vanquishing of Roy Jones, Jr. and the terrific championship bout between Glen
Johnson and Antonio Tarver has regenerated interest in the 175 pound weight
class. We feel that with proper nurturing and smart management, Badi can rapidly
enter the Top 10 and challenge the likes of Johnson and Tarver for supremacy in
the division. Adamu carries on the legacy of exciting light heavyweight fighters
that come out of the City of Brotherly Love. His charismatic and hard working
style reminds boxing fans of fighters like Matthew Saad Muhammad and Dwight
Braxton Qawi. Out of the ring, the Prince is a great role model; he doesn’t
smoke or drink, never been involved with the law and is as articulate a fighter
as there is. We’re looking for a fight in March or April of 2005 and it’s our
belief at SCORE! that the Prince can be an internationally known star in the
light heavyweight division,” Bernstein concluded.
