When he gets back, Lords Gym will be the man to tell you, Hes from that neck of the woods
I would start with the state boxing commision, I would think everything boxing related would run through them at some point. At the very least they could point you in the right direction.Quote:

I have heard great things about Lester Bedford, that’s why I suggested him. He did a fantastic job with James Leija as his manager and promoter , and he has put together well over 100 quality boxing matches in the state of Texas . Bedford has working ties with companies such as Goldenboy promotions and so on. Set up an interview mate . See what he and other managers can do for you. O0

Lords Gym can you send the contact info by email to me for Mr. Bedford, and let me know who you are so I can tell him who referred me if youd like. jorodpip@yahoo.com
