DiBella Entertainment has announced the signing of undefeated light heavyweight prospect Isiah Thomas. Thomas (3-0, 3 KOs) has no relation to the former basketball player, but much like his namesake, Thomas has built a reputation in his home city of Detroit, and is ready to show off his skills as one of boxing’s rising stars.
Having won each of his professional bouts by first round knockout, Thomas believes he has the ability to do great things in the sport. He has just been waiting to get the promotional muscle behind him.
“DBE is established,” said Thomas. “They are one of the biggest promoters in America. It’s very positive for my career.”
An accomplished amateur, Thomas has been turning heads for some time. After winning the 2005 World Championships, Hall of Fame trainer Emmanuel Steward heaped praise upon the now 20 year old prospect.
Steward, who helped guide the careers of Lennox Lewis, Tommy Hearns, and Jermain Taylor, sees much of the same potential in Thomas with whom he worked during Thomas’s amateur days.
“I have a kid who will be the next big thing, Isiah Thomas," said Steward. "I don't have to teach him much. He’s a gifted athlete.”
Promoter Lou DiBella believes that in Thomas he has found a budding star, and is excited about what this new signing brings to his stable of fighters.
“I think he’s a terrific prospect,” said DiBella. “He has a blend of speed and power that is extremely rare in boxing. That ability, coupled with his amateur experience, makes us believe he is one of the real sleepers in the professional ranks.”
The enthusiasm shared by both Thomas and DiBella has the young fighter confident he has found the right hands in which to entrust his career and vast skill set.
“I’m a boxer-puncher. I’m an entertainer. I have the skills the older fighters had,” said Thomas. “With my skill and their promotional ability, I can be a world champion.”
