Ryan Martin Returns To The
Ring Oct. 28 In Ontario, Ca.
Former super lightweight contender, Ryan "Blue Chip" Martin
(25-2, 15 KOs) is set to make his return to the boxing ring
after a year-long layoff. He will face off against
Philippine slugger, Rogelio "Hercules" Jun Doliguez (25-5-2,
19 KOs), in an 8-round super lightweight bout scheduled for
October 28, 2023. The fight will take place at the Lum Color
Center in Ontario, California, under the promotional banner
of Elite Boxing USA titled "Evolution XII".
Hailing from Chattanooga, Tennessee, Martin has tasted
defeat only twice, those losses coming at the hands of
former undisputed super lightweight champion Josh Taylor
(19-1, 13 KOs), and former lightweight world champion Robert
Easter Jr. (23-1-1, 14 KOs).
"I’m just ready to get back in the ring after a year away,”
said Martin, who once held the WBC Continental Americas
lightweight title. “I have a whole new team behind me now
and I’m ready to make a run toward a world title.”
Martin is determined to reestablish himself among the super
lightweight elite. Notably, he has now chosen Ivan Sylve as
his trainer, father of unbeaten rising star Ashton Sylve,
who trains at the Jack Rabbit boxing gym in Long Beach,
California.
“After adding Ivan Sylve to head my corner, I’ve taken
everything I know in boxing to another level,” continued
Martin. “I believe all the hard work I’ve done over the last
year will pay off when I step in the ring with Doliquez.
It’s time to leave everything in the ring on October 28th.”
After contemplating retirement, Ryan Martin got a resurgence
in his career when manager Brandon Stump, of CTB Athletics
reached out to see if he could resurrect his career. The two
came to an agreement and now Ryan is set to return to the
ring.
"We believe Ryan has a lot of fight left in him,” said
Brandon Stump, manager at CTB Athletics and the guiding
force behind Ryan Martin's journey. “All he needed was some
support to focus solely on boxing and here we are. His
decision to train under Ivan Sylve has made a tremendous
improvement in his game. Right now, everything is going as
planned and a win on October 28th will take us to the next
step in solidifying a big fight. Fans can expect to see the
best version of Blue Chip when he steps in the ring this
Saturday.”
