Heavyweight Estrada to Face King.By Boxing Press June 10th, 2005 All Press ReleasesU.S. Olympian Jason “Big Six” Estrada (2-0, 1 KO) continues his pro career June 17 in a Special Heavyweight Attraction on “Providence’s Prime Time Fights,” promoted by Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment & Sports, Inc (CES) – The Franchise in Rhode Island -- in The All-New Theatre at the Dunkin’ Donuts Theatre in Down City Providence. Estrada faces upset-specialist Demetrice King (7-7, 2 KOs), of Flint, Michigan. King has a victory against Kevin Montiy (15-1-1) and has fought former world champion Shannon Briggs. “This fight will tell us a lot about CES’ first Olympian,” Burchfield noted. “King’s coming to fight; to beat the Olympian. Most 2-0 fighters wouldn’t take a fight like this, but the Estrada Unit wants to prove to everybody that Jason is for real. What I really like is Jason has been traveling all over for sparring, including the famed Gleason’s Gym in New York City, which shows how serious he is about this fight. Jason is proving to everyone how serious he is about becoming the heavyweight champion of the world someday.” “I’m just going out there to box the way I know,” Estrada added. “I know he’s had 14 pro fights, but I have a lot of experience from my all amateur fights (300+). I’ve gone back to fighting the way I used to. I want to show my power without losing any of the boxing skills that got me where to where I am.” CES recently entered into an agreement with the Rhode Island Convention Center and Dunkin’ Donuts Center to promote boxing shows in downtown Providence.
