Undefeated Swedish Middleweight Prospect Shady Gamhour
Returns Apr. 29 To Las Vegas
Undefeated Swedish middleweight prospect Shady Gamhour
(12-0, 9 KOs) returns to Las Vegas to fight there for the
first time since 2018, April 29th on the “Sons of Legends”
card, presented by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing in association
with Ares Entertainment, in The Theater at Virgin Hotels in
Las Vegas.
The main event is a 10-round match for the vacant WBC USNBC
heavyweight title between Kenzie “TCB” Morrison (19-02,2, 17
KOs) and Hasim “Gold Blooded” Rahman (12-0, 6 KOs),
respectively, the sons of past World Heavyweight Champions
Tommy “The Duke” Morrison and Hasim Rahman.
The action will be called at ringside by Hall of Famer Roy
Jones, Jr., James “Smitty” Smith and Kalvin “Hot Sauce”
Henderson on FITE TV and iNDemand PPV.
Sweden-native Gamhour, who lives and trains with Roy Jones
in Pensacola, Florida, is matched against Steven Pichardo
(8-1-1, 2 KOs) in a 6-round bout.
“It feels awesome to fight again in Las Vegas,” Gamhour
said. “It is a dream come true! It has been a blessing to
have been able to be trained by the great Roy Jones, Jr. for
the past five years.
“My training camp has been great, and we now have the most
important weeks of training leading up to the fight in Las
Vegas.”
Pichardo has won seven of his last eight fights with one
draw.
“For me,” Jones commented, “it’s always fun to train Shady
because he is one of the most dedicated people you ever want
to see. There is nothing better in my opinion than a
dedicated fighter. All fighters don’t have the same talent,
all fighters don’t get to the same skill level drive and
motivation is something that they can control. When you find
a fighter with drive, control, and motivation like Shady, it
makes you glad to spend time teaching them. Because of his
drive and motivation, I’m very much looking forward to
seeing Shady back in the ring. I can’t wait to see him
fight.”
Also scheduled to fight are sons of other “boxing legends”
such as Roberto “Hands of Stone” Duran, Mike “The Bounty”
Hunter, Robert “Preacherman” Daniels, Gerald “G-Man”
McClellan, and Steve “USS” Cunningham.
Card subject to change.
