(HOUSTON)- Munisteri, Sports & Entertainment, Inc., a corporation which provides management services to professional boxers since the 1980’s announced today that it concluded 2004 with all of its new prospects, 2002 National Golden Gloves Winner Malcolm Tann, 2003 National Golden Gloves Winner Travis Walker, and 2004 National Golden Gloves Winner Raphael Butler going undefeated..
Munisteri, Sports & Entertainment, Inc.’s President, Stephen P. Munisteri, today announced “I do not believe that there is another boxing organization that has had the type of year we have relative to the development of young heavyweight prospects. Malcolm Tann went 5-0 and easily avenged his only loss of his career. Raphael Butler fought 10 times in 6 months without a loss. Every opponent he faced he either knocked out or knocked down. Only 1 fight went the distance. Travis Walker went to 6-0 with 5 knockouts and showed great improvement in his last fight.”
Munisteri, Sports & Entertainment, Inc.’s veteran heavyweight, David Bostice also had a good 2004 after upsetting Cisse Salif.
Munisteri said “he is particularly looking forward to 2005 for continued advancement of his heavyweights. Munisteri said David Bostice has a big fight with Malik Scott on the February 29, 2005 on the undercard of the Gatti fight, We expect Malcolm Tann to step up and become a major player in the division this year and we look for Travis Walker and Raphael Butler to execute promotional contracts with one of the top promoters in the world. In addition, one of our old heavyweights, Ed Wright, who showed great promise prior to his retirement for personal reasons is planning a comeback in early 2005. Wright only had one loss in 13 fights and that was a very controversial split decision loss which the television and crowd thought he had won. There is also a chance that one of our other heavyweights, Chester Hughes, who is 17-2 may make a comeback as well. We also continue to talk to several other heavyweights about possibly taking over their management.”
Travis Walker is scheduled to fight January 20, 2005 in Houston, Texas. Raphael Butler is scheduled to fight January 29, 2005 in Colorado and again on February 26, 2005 in Vegas. David Bostice is scheduled to fight January 29, 2005 against Malik Scott. Malcolm Tann is expected to fight on either February 10th or February 24th. Ed Wright should make his comeback sometime in February or March.
