Heavyweight Veteran Releford Signs With Grind 2 Def

ByBoxing Press 03/11/2011

Grind 2 Def Entertainment proudly announces the signing of an exclusive worldwide boxing advisor agreement with Fort Worth, Texas based heavyweight boxer Kendrick “The Apostle” Releford, 22-15 (10 KOs).

Releford is a former WBO Latino heavyweight champion who always comes to fight and put on a good show for the boxing fans. Releford is refocused and ready to make some changes in his boxing career.

Macke Roberts said “I have watched the boxing career of Kendrick Releford for quite a while and Kendrick is a talented fighter with good boxing ability. In his last fight prior to signing with Grind 2 Def Entertainment, he fought a top five heavyweight in former world title challenger, Chris Arreola on short notice.

“With very little sparring and a short time to get ready Kendrick was able to go seven rounds with Arreola. Unfortunately in Kendrick’s career he has taken fights on short notice and taken some fights at the wrong time. Now that I am guiding his boxing career, the boxing world will see a better prepared Kendrick Releford in his future fights.

“Kendrick Releford is only 29 years old, he realizes the time is now to make the right changes to improve his boxing career. Kendrick has a new training team who will help him reach his full potential as a fighter. Currently in the USA there is no dominant heavyweight fighter, the division is wide open and I feel with the right training regiment and the right fights Kendrick Releford will make some noise in the heavyweight division.”

Kendrick Releford said, “This is a great opportunity to work with Grind 2 Def Entertainment. They are giving me the chance to jump start my boxing career. I have the skills and talent to become a world champion and I needed a team that truly believes in my ability that are willing to help me get there. Now I can put my total focus toward training, winning fights and I will let my team map out how we get there.

“With my new team behind me boxing fans will see me perform at a higher physical level, meaning they will see a great conditioned boxer fight with the same heart and desire they have grown to love. I’m in a better place mentally, physically and spiritually. I have a new training team, Hall of Fame fighter, Curtis Cokes and former top contender Joe Cokes. I am now getting the proper sparring, training and better strength & conditioning. I’m refocused and it’s time to eat. I have four kids that need milk and bread and I’m starving.”

Roberts said “Kendrick Releford is starving and ready to put big loafs of bread on the table to feed his family. A motivated, focused and properly trained Kendrick Releford is gonna give his opponents big problems. The past is the past but today is a new chapter in the boxing career of Kendrick Releford. The journey for Kendrick is about to make a change for the better.”

Releford said “I would like to tell my fans I’m alive and revived and ready to put on a show the world will love while remaining true to who I am and what I represent. Thank you for your love, support and belief.
