Undefeated Jr. Welterweight
Prospect
Kenneth Sims Jr. Taking Career To Next Level
After getting Manny Pacquiao ready for his mega-fight with
Floyd Mayweather, Gary Shaw Productions' and Antonio Leonard
Promotions' undefeated super-lightweight prospect, Kenneth
Sims Jr. (6-0, KOs), is now preparing WBC Lightweight
champion Jorge Linares (38-3, 25 KOs) for his upcoming title
defense against Kevin Mitchell (39-2, 29 KOs).
Kenneth Sims Jr. has been sparring with Linares, giving him
great work, while learning from the best fighters in the
world. The experience has been instrumental in the
development of Sims Jr., who resides in Chicago, Illinois.
"Training with Linares and Pacquiao has been a great
learning process for me and my dad who's my trainer," said
Kenneth Sims Jr. "I want to thank Gary Shaw for setting up
these sparring opportunities. I've preformed really well and
my confidence is at an all-time high. After sparring with
these great champions, I know I have the skills to become
something special in this sport and I'm going to take it one
fight at a time. Gary and Antonio Leonard are working on my
next fight and I should be returning to the ring shortly."
"Kenneth Sims Jr. is a special talent with an amateur
pedigree to take his professional career to championship
level," Gary Shaw said. "Antonio and I are going to continue
to bring him up the right way, give him tough fights, so he
can be prepared for the big fights that lie ahead.
Everything I'm hearing from these training camps and the
sparring sessions Sims Jr. is having is positive. Kenneth is
only going to get better and that makes me very happy."
