FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PHILADELPHIA (NOVEMBER 6, 2009)—from the ring to the bargaining table is how he describes it.

Light Heavyweight contender, Brian “Bionic Bull” Cohen is proud to announce the signing of his first three fighters in top Featherweight prospect, Eric “The Outlaw” Hunter, cruiserweight Ed Perry and the woman regarded as one of the top and most exciting female fighters in the world, Melissa “Hurracan” Hernandez.

“I have been around boxing my whole life” said the Light Heavyweight contender who has a record of 12-2 with eleven knockouts.

“My father has been managing fighters for thirty years, my mother promotes and I have been fighting. I feel with all that experience, I can help a lot of fighters achieve great success and with my company I hope to help these fighters win many world championships for years to come”

Hunter of Philadelphia has a record of 11-1 with four knockouts and has won six in a row since suffering his first pro defeat in 2007.

Hunter was one of the most decorated amateurs in Philadelphia boxing history as he amassed a un heard of 276-4 mark and was an Olympic Alternate 2004.

After battling an eye injury that kept him out much of 2009, Hunter exploded back on the scene with very impressive six round unanimous decision over Wilshaun Boxley on September 26th in South Philadelphia.

“Eric Hunter is a guy that everyone wanted coming out of the amateurs. He has been one of the top fighters in Philadelphia, pro or amateurs for a long time and what people seem to forget is that he is just twenty-three years old”, said Cohen.

“His talent is unquestioned and anyone who sees him fight can see that he will be a world champion very quickly and we are positioning him for that opportunity. I think within a year he could be doing just that.”

Hernandez of the Bronx, New York is known for her all-out action style and has taking on the best female fighters in the world.

She is the former two-time WIBA Super Featherweight champion, and GBU Lightweight champion.

She fought for the IFBA Featherweight title in her fourth fight and she held forty-two fight veteran Kelsey Jeffries to a draw.

On December 4th, Hernandez will go to Albuquerque, New Mexico and move up three weight classes to take on Holly Holm at Holm’s natural weight in her hometown.

“Melissa will be the face of woman’s boxing after she slays Holly”, said Cohen.

“She signed a bad contract for this fight and its my job going forward to make sure she gets the respect that she deserves as being one of the best female fighters in the world.”

“The fact she has and will fight anyone, anywhere at any weight shows that she has more heart than any female plus she is very exciting and combine that with her skill level, I defiantly believe that she has what it takes to be that cross over star that female boxing has been lacking.”

Last but not least, Cohen feels Perry can be a real sleeper in the cruiserweight division.

The native of Lafayette has a record of 15-4-2 with nine knockouts. The record does not indicate everything as he has only lost one time fighting as a cruiserweight.

Perry is 5-0-1 in his last six with that one draw being to then undefeated and highly regarded Shawn Hawk.

Since that draw Perry has won five straight and with his new management team Perry will look to carry on that momentum into a top fifteen ranking.

“Ed is a guy who has been under the radar but I have seen him first hand and I know he can fight.” said Cohen.

“I would like to get him some fights on a higher platform so the fans can see what I see in Ed and that’s a real tough fighter who I know can compete at the highest level of the cruiserweight division”
