Ishe Smith featured in fitness magazine!

Press Release: Highly regarded junior middleweight Ishe "Sugar Shay" Smith made his way on to newsstands this month in the November issue of Muscle & Fitness magazine.  Smith is featured in the Big Time section of the magazine. Muscle & Fitness is the largest fitness magazine in the country and serves well over a million subscribers.  When contacted at his Las Vegas home, Smith said, "I was truly honored when they called and asked me if I wanted to be a part of the November issue. I train really hard and they were very impressed with my physique during one of my fights, I was shocked, but it just shows that hard work does pay off.  I have great sponsors in Vitamin Water, Prosource, and Supreme Protein Bar, they do a terrific job in marketing me, and I am feel blessed to still have them by my side after so many years." Smith is coming off a unanimous decision win against then-unbeaten Pawel Wolak, "I felt that I had to turn back the hands of time, I was tired of losing close decisions, I felt in my heart I wasn't doing enough to win big fights, and that had to change.  I have a great name in boxing, but I wasn't about to become some opponent or stepping stone, I am better than that, and I showed that on August 1st. I also showed that I can be offensive minded and not just a defensive fighter, thanks to Eddie Mustafa for driving and pushing me to my limits."  Regarding his next fight or opponent, Smith only offered up a one-liner, "Stay tuned."
