Virginia-based Triple-Mac Promotions is proud to announce the signing of powerhouse Philadelphia middleweight Tyrone “Young Gun” Brunson to a promotional agreement.
The sharpshooting Brunson, 19-0-1 (19), set a boxing record with 19 consecutive first-round knockouts to begin his career before fighting to a draw in his most recent outing.
“Tyrone was beginning to go stale by chasing that record and not facing the kind of opposition he should have been to develop properly,” said Triple-Mac President Freddie Mac of his new client.
“We believe in Tyrone and we intend to bring him to the top levels of the sport properly. He has the talent and the natural punching power to become a world champion.”
24-year-old Brunson surpassed the North American record with his 15th first-round stoppage vs. David Johnson on March 9, 2007 and tied the world record of 18 set by current WBC Lightweight Champion Edwin Valero of Venezuela – in June of last year against Jamie Waru in Auckland, New Zealand.
Brunson then broke the all-time record in 72 seconds against Francis McKechnai on March 29, 2008.
Brunson is the first big signing for Triple-Mac, who have established a respected reputation doing shows in the Norfolk area.
“We are ready to make a dent in boxing by treating our fighters right and giving our fans the quality of fights they don’t mind paying to see,” said Mac. “Tyrone will be our first world champion and will clear the way at the top for a long line of Triple-Mac fighters”.
