Fort Washington, MD (February 9, 2017)- Despite having a perfect record, cruiserweight Darnell Pierce doesn’t mind fighting in hostile territory. In fact a boxing ring is almost walk in the park compared to some of the tasks that this United States Army veteran has endured.

Pierce takes on Luther Smith in the 6-round co-feature bout this Saturday night at the Rosecroft Raceway in Fort Washington, Maryland.

In the main event, undefeated junior welterweight Mykal Fox takes on Tre’Sean Wiggins in a bout scheduled for 8-rounds.

The show is promoted by King;s Promotions.

Pierce of Austin, Texas has a record of 5-0 with 1 knockout, and has been working hard in Houston with some big name fighters to get ready for this important fight.

Pierce had a brief amateur career going 9-2, but that due to Army duties, that was spread out over 5 years.

“The military opened up a lot of doors for me.”

“I have been working hard. I was in camp with (WBO Cruiserweight champion) Oleksandr Usyk and this cam has been spent with Travis Kauffman and Steve Cunningham,” said Pierce.

In Smith, Pierce has not done much studying, but he is ready for anything on Saturday night.

“I really don’t know much about him. We fought on the same card, but I really did not pay much attention to his fight.”

Despite having the undefeated record, Pierce will be fighting in the hometown of Smith, but that doesn’t faze the 30 year-old Army vet.

“I have had 5 fights, and I have been the opponent in all of them. I know he will have the fans there, but that doesn’t bother. I am not fighting his fans.”

“I am not too concerned by not having the fan support. When I started fighting, I did that on my own, and this is no different. I spent a little time in Maryland, but I am from Texas. Because my promoter (King’s Promotions) is located on the East Coast, I will be fighting on the East Coast a lot, so until I can build up a fan base, this is how it will be.”

“I go about my business. I just enjoy the sport and competing.”

Because of his mindset, Pierce just goes about his training, and with success the supporters will be behind him.

“I just plan on winning and the rest will take care of itself.”

Fort Washington, MD (February 6, 2017)- Undefeated junior welterweight prospect, Mykal “The Professor” Fox will take on hard-punching Tre’Sean Wiggins in the eight-round main event of a big night of boxing on This Saturday night, February 11th at the Rosecroft Raceway in Fort Washington, Maryland.

Mykal Fox

The 3-year pro is coming off a 7th round stoppage over Juan Rodriguez on November 5th in the same venue.

Fox is wrapping up training camp in the D.C. area, and he believes that Wiggins could be the toughest test of his young professional career.

“Training camp has been great. It has been another good camp,” said Fox.

“Wiggins is a dangerous opponent. I have fought opponents that may have had more experience, but Wiggins has a lot of power in both hands. He is left handed like I am.”

Fox has been progressing up the ladder, and now he is considered to be on some prospects lists on the East Coast. A win over the heavy handed Wiggins would solidify his status as 2017 progresses.

“I think fighting him is the next step in my progression. I wanted to be tested, and Wiggins is a guy who has power. I am not looking to take those punches, bit if I do, I will be ready for what he has.”

Fox doesn’t have to look far for motivation, as he brother, talented middleweight Alantez Fox has a bout on February 25th for the NABF title, and the two train side by side with each other under the guidance of their trainer, who also happens to be their father, Troy Fox,

“We are both very motivated. We are there for each other. We feed off each other in the gym and it is a great motivator to train next to him every day.”

A win over Wiggins will keep Fox moving towards his short term goal for 2017.

“I am looking to get in a few more eight-round bouts, and then be able to get some some television bouts. As long as I continue to stay busy, I see that happening.”

Fort Washington, Maryland (November 4, 2016)–A pair of Uudefeated junior welterweight’s collide in a top undercard as Kent Cruz (11-0, 6 KO’s) takes on Darius Ervin (3-0) as part of a big night of boxing Saturday night at the Rosecroft Raceway in Fort Washington, Maryland.

The card which is promoted by King’s Promotions, will feature undefeated junior welterweight Mykal Fox battling Juan Rodriguez in the eight-round main event.

The 23 year-old Cruz is coming off his biggest win to date, when he scored 8 round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Rickey Edwards on September 3rd in San Antonio.

The St. Louis native is ready for another win over an undefeated opponent.

“Camp went great. I had great sparring and just good training for this bout,” said Cruz.”I know Ervin is tall and rangy and likes to work from the outside.”

Cruz started to generate a little buzz after his win over Edwards and he became a name on some prospect lists.

“I got good feedback after that win. It was a great win to showcase my skills, and coming back so quick is good as I need to stay busy.”

Even though it was an impressive performance in the NBC Sports Network televised fight, Cruz believes he could have been even better against Edwards.

“I felt I could have stopped him. What I learned in that fight is when I get a fighter hurt and I need to finish him. I should have worked the body more and I could have stopped him.”

With a win on Saturday night, Cruz sees himself making a big move in 2017.

“I am hoping for big things next year. I am looking to get in the mix for a regional title, which will get me ranked and just stay active.”

Ervin, who is originally from Charlotte, North Carolina but now calls Los Angeles home is not in the least awed by Cruz’s big win over Edwards.

“My camp went well. I took this fight on short notice, but that isn’t a big deal. We stay ready, so we don’t have to get ready. Cruz is a decent fighter, but no disrespect, I do not feel he is on my level. I just focus on what I have to do in there and not focus on him. I am on weight and ready to go,”said Ervin.

Ervin is a strong minded fighter, who knows what a win can do for him.

“I am self motivated. He fought a good fighter in his last fight,, but he didn’t fight me. He doesn’t have my skills. Signing with King’s Promotions has given me motivation and I thank them for the opportunity. I don’t care what anybodies record is, because I am in the gum everyday and I stay in shape. Weather I have a fight or not, I am always fine tuning and staying in shape. I am the King and I am ready to defend my throne. I just know I am going to bring my best and I hope he brings his.”

Luther Smith (5-1, 4 KO’s) of Bowie, MD will fight Mike Marshall (3-0, 3 KO’s) of Bronx, NY in a cruiserweight bout.
