Welterweight Ve’Shawn Champion (3-0, 1 KO) has signed a promotional deal with Davies Entertainment. Citing his work ethic, interesting back story and ‘beast in the ring’ fighting style, CEO Cameron Davies announced the move on Instagram recently. Managed by Freeway Ricky Ross, the 23-year-old, 6-foot-1 Dayton, Ohio native will now spend the next few months preparing for an October 8th bout.  A relative late-comer to the sport at 19, Ve’Shawn credits watching the Mayweather/McGregor matchup on YouTube as his inspiration to fight. At the time, Champion worked fifteen-hour shifts in a freezer for I Supply after multiple school expulsions for being a hothead. He says that boxing has given him direction. Moving to Philadelphia, Ve’Shawn began training with Bozy Ennis, father and trainer of Jaron "Boots" Ennis (29-0, 27 KOs), which is how he connected with his advisor, Freeway Rick RossRoss. Now a resident of San Antonio, Champion is excited to join roster mates Floyd ‘Austin’ Schofield (10-0, 8 KOs) and Andrew Tabiti (19-1, 15 KOs) in the Davies Entertainment family. 

 

“I’m excited about what the future holds now that I’m signed with Davies Entertainment." said Champion. “I’m grateful to Freeway Rick Ross for believing in me and bringing me to a top promotional company. The sky is the limit for me and I’m going to take full advantage of this great opportunity.”

 

“I want to thank his manager, Freeway Ricky Ross for blessing this deal. This kid has something special beyond just natural ability,” sauid Davies. “We noticed it immediately when he came into our gym. Heart, grit, determination - you can see it in how he carries himself…. He just wants the opportunity to prove himself and I’m gonna give it to him.”

 

“I’m delighted and thrilled to have Ve’Shawn join the Davies Entertainment family.” says manager, Freeway Ricky Ross. “As his advisor, I believe this is the move that will take his career to the next level. Together, I believe we will grow and become something special in the sport of boxing.”
