Will see action December 14 Broadway Boxing show
Press Release: DiBella Entertainment has signed James “Buddy” McGirt, Jr. (12-0, 7 KOs), the son of former world champion and current top trainer Buddy McGirt, Sr., to an exclusive promotional agreement, it was announced by DBE president Lou DiBella. "I followed James' career and believe he's one of the top prospects in the middle weight divisions. Under the tutelage of his dad Buddy McGirt, one of the best trainers in the game, James Jr. has a bright future as a DBE fighter. We can't wait for his Broadway Boxing debut on December 14," said Lou DiBella, president of DiBella Entertainment. McGirt, the flashy southpaw, is growing into his power, as five of his last six victories have come by way of TKO after only one stoppage in his first six wins. Most recently, he scored an impressive decision victory over fellow “son of a legend” Stephon Pryor (son of Aaron) in a bout televised by Showtime’s ShoBox.
