The United States of America has dominated professional boxing in the heavyweight division for decades, possibly this last century. Jack Johnson, Rocky Marciano, James Jeffries, Jack Dempsey, Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield are all names that ring a bell. Today most people can’t name a heavyweight from America. Two brothers, Wladimir Klitschko and Vitali Klitschko have dominated the heavyweight division for years. The two brothers hold every conceivable heavyweight championship to hold and from the Ukraine. Amazingly, the top contenders are all from the European countries. American heavyweights have attempted to take those belts away from the Klitschko’s but have come home to the USA humbled and embarrassed.
It seems no heavyweight is willing to gamble to make the Klitschko’s fight tough fights. That is until now. There is a prospect lurking in the background very quietly. He stands 6’8” tall, weighs 250 pounds, is quick, can punch, and has only 8% bodyfat. He looks the part and he has been learning his craft carefully under the guiding eye of Bobby Benton in Houston, Texas. This giant has only 3 amateur fights but comes from an extensive kickboxing background. His agent, Kerry Daigle, claims SKIP SCOTT is the quickest heavyweight he has seen in the 38 years he has been managing fighters and promoting professional boxing. “He has the jab of a Larry Holmes, the speed of a Muhammad Ali and the knockout power of an Earnie Shavers and will be the next great heavyweight from America,” claims Daigle.
Learning his craft will continue Thursday night at the Houston Club in Downtown Houston, Texas on September 29th starting at 7pm as he fights an 8 round main event looking for his 14th consecutive win.
The American heavyweights are few, I must conclude. Skip Scott plans on getting the attention of the giants like HBO and Showtime. He is articulate, well educated, dresses the part and does an incredible interview. On top of that, Skip “Strictly Business” Scott can fight.
Scott lives in Houston, Texas where he is an incredible drawing card for Lou Savarese’s shows. His fans are white collar who don’t hesitate to dish up $1000 to $2000 per table to watch him fight.
His plans? “I’ve got my eyes on 3 guys right now I would like to fight as soon as possible. One is Ray Austin because of his experience, Hasim Rachman because he is rated again and a former world champion, and Tyson Fury overseas. Fury is making a name for himself and it would be an honor to challenge him,” states the confident Scott.
