Wise Owl Boxing has announced that lightweight Jalan “Skywalker” Walker (15-1) has officially signed a management agreement with the company, adding another exciting young talent to the Wise Owl Boxing roster. Walker enters the partnership as an established young fighter with a strong amateur pedigree. Known for his athleticism, speed, and ring IQ, Walker hopes to build a reputation as a dangerous competitor and future champion.
Wise Owl founder Mark Habibi expressed strong enthusiasm about bringing Walker into the Wise Owl team. “Jalen is a tremendous young fighter with a deep amateur background and a lot of upside,” said Habibi. “He has the talent, the work ethic, and the mentality to become a serious contender in this sport. We’re very excited to welcome him to Wise Owl Boxing.”
As part of the new partnership, Walker will now be working with highly respected trainer Trevor Sambrano, who is best known for coaching junior middleweight contender Brandon Adams. The addition of Sambrano to Walker’s corner is expected to elevate his development as he enters the next stage of his career. “Linking Jalen with Trevor Sambrano is a major step forward,” Habibi added. “Trevor has proven he can prepare fighters to compete at the highest levels of the sport. I believe he’s going to help take Jalen to the next level.”
Wise Owl Boxing will also continue working closely with Walker’s promoter, Patrick Ragan of Westside Promotions, to strategically guide the fighter’s career and secure meaningful opportunities in the ring. Habibi believes Walker is only a few fights away from breaking into the top 15 in the world rankings, and the long-term goal is clear. “Our plan is to move Jalen aggressively but intelligently,” said Habibi. “Working alongside Patrick Ragan and Westside Promotions, I believe he’ll be ranked in the top 15 within a few fights and climbing the rankings as we work toward a world title opportunity.”
Walker joins a rapidly growing Wise Owl Boxing roster that already includes several accomplished fighters, including Adams, ex-US Olympian Charles Conwell, Ebenezer Griffith, Mexican Olympian Brianda Tamara Cruz, and fan-favorite contender Chantel Navarro.
