Raeese Aleem Sends Challenge To Stephen Fulton
Prince Ranch Boxing's undefeated super bantamweight
contender, Raeese "The Beast" Aleem (16-0, 10 KOs), who is
ranked WBO #13, is eyeing a showdown with WBO #8
Inter-Continental super bantamweight champion Stephen Fulton
(18-0, 8 KOs), who is also rated WBC #6.
“I am coming off the best win of my career, a fourth-round
knockout on ShoBox, and I want to make a statement to the
boxing world,” said Aleem. “Fulton is a ranked contender,
and currently holds a form of a title. I am letting it be
known that I am very eager to challenge him and that I want
his belt.”
Aleem, who is managed by Greg Hannley of Prince Ranch
Boxing, is looking to vault himself into a world title shot
by next year.
“Aleem took a hard fight in his last bout on ShoBox and
passed with flying colors," said Greg Hannley of Prince
Ranch Boxing, Aleem's manager. “The fans want to see good
fights right now as boxing returns and I think this is a
very makeable, fan-friendly fight.”
Aleem’s promoter, Marshall Kauffman agrees that this is a
very intriguing bout.
“This has the makings of a classic,” said Marshall Kauffman
of Kings Promotions. “Aleem is a tremendous fighter and has
beaten two undefeated fighters as well as a battle tested
warrior in his last fight. I think a fight with Fulton would
be a great bout. Currently, these are the type of fights
we’re missing in boxing and we need to get back to them, and
what better time than now to start.”
Earlier this year Aleem made his televised debut on ShoBox,
defeating Adam Lopez (19-4-2, 9 KOs) of San Antonio, Texas,
via a fourth-round knockout. Aleem also holds wins over
former undefeated fighters WBO #9 Marcus Bates and DeVonte
Allen.
"I keep saying this, but I want to prove that I am the best
super bantamweight in the division," Aleem continued. “I am
constantly trying to fight the best opponents because I want
to be a legend in the sport of boxing.”
