Former Heavyweight Lou Essa Launches Management Company

Former heavyweight boxer and knockout artist Lou Esa has recently announced the creation of his new fighter management company, Winning Method Management.

Esa (19-6-1, 16 KO) made his name in the sport in the 1970’s fighting amongst the likes of Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Leon Spinks and many other greats.

Training fighters for several years upon stepping out of the squared circle, Esa got his start in the management side of the game last year when he began working with welterweight Vinny “The Lion” O’Brien.

Under Esa’s tutelage and watchful eye O’Brien has started off his young career 3-1 with 2 KO’s.

“Winning Method Management can help boxers and fighters get the media exposure they are looking for,” said Esa. “We can make them known throughout the world and help them get the steady action they are looking for.”

Training out of Final Round Boxing and Fitness in Whippany, New Jersey, Esa works with a handful of professional boxers as well as amateurs he is preparing for the Golden Gloves.

“Boxing will always be a big part of my life,” said Esa. “Whether it’s working with kids inside the ring or overlooking their career outside the ropes, I want to give back to the sport as much as I can.”

In addition to O’Brien, Esa works with middleweight boxers Richard Pierson and Thomas Baldwin, and a few other up-and-coming boxing prospects.

“In this business there are a lot of shady managers out there, and a young fighter looking for his shot doesn’t know what to look for,” said Esa. “I have been around the game for a long time, and I want to make sure these kids aren’t getting taken advantage of.”

Lou Esa is currently taking on new fighters to be part of Winning Method Management, and interested fighters should send an email to lousvisions@hotmail.com.

“As long as a fighter has heart and desire, I will take them as far as they are willing to go in this sport,” said Esa.
