‘Young Gun’ targets comeback from losses

154lb knockout specialist Tyrone Brunson is refreshed and ready to return to the ring after spending almost a year contemplating his next move following two straight defeats.

The 27 year-old, who caused a stir by knocking out his first 19 opponents in the first round, has had contrasting fortunes since being held to a six-round draw in his 20th outing against Mexican Antonio Soriano.

Two victories followed his first blip, but after running into battle-hardened Carson Jones in December 2009, the exciting prospect's unbeaten run was abruptly ended with a third round stoppage.

A 27-month exile followed for the Philadelphian - and upon his comeback, Brunson was upset again when Mexican James De La Rosa out-pointed him over eight rounds at the Convention Center in Texas.

A re-focused Brunson has now set himself up with a fresh start after penning a deal with new manager Rick Mohamed and is ready to move forward with his career progression after settling his out of the ring issues.

“I would like to inform my boxing fans that Tyrone Brunson is making his way back to the ring,” Brunson told World Boxing News.

“I just want my fans to know that I had some promoter contractual issues that I finally have resolved and I have been in the gym working my ass off to show everyone that I belong in this sport.

“I will be the junior-middleweight champion of the world and I know that I am the peoples Champion!

“I have recently signed with a new management company Brawlers Sports Management Group based out of the DC, VA area and I am working with Rick Mohamed who was Montell ‘Ice’ Griffin’s publicist/manager. He also has worked for David Reid and as you all know, Dave is from my hometown Philly so I trust that he will take Team Brunson in the right direction.

“So far so good as Mr. Mohamed plans on having me fight in either mid February or early March, but whenever that comes I promise one stellar performance for all my fans and critics.

“I want to thank all my fans for there support in my absence from the ring. God Bless - you'll see Young Gunz soon,” he added.

The Tragedy of Billy Collins Jr.

Phil D. Jay WBN Editor  Collins after the fight Williams Ray Collins Jr. or Billy Collins Jr. as he became known, was born to a boxing father in Antioch, Tennessee in 1961. His father William Sr, once fought Welterweight Champion Curtis Cokes and wanted his boy to follow in his footsteps, so decided to train Billy himself. Collins Jr. turned pro in 1981, a welterweight, just like his father before him and impressively won his first 14 professional contests, 11 by knockout with eight inside the first three rounds. It was 1983 and Billy was matched up against Puerto Rican journeyman Luis Resto on the undercard of Roberto Duran v Davey Moore at Madison Square Garden in a ten rounder. Resto wasn’t known for his punching power but Billy took a sustained beating for the full ten rounds, his face, badly damaged and his eyes were almost shut. After the fight, which Resto won on decision, Billy’s father shook Resto’s hand and noticed there wasn’t much padding in his gl...

Rico Ramos captures world super- bantamweight title with KO

Phil D. Jay WBN Editor ‘Suavecito’ scores 20th straight win over Shimoda Undefeated Californian Rico Ramos produced a world-class left hand in the seventh round of his WBA title challenge against Japan’s Akifumi Shimoda to rip the belt away from the older southpaw in his first defence. The 24 year-old looked far from a world champion in the first five rounds, only gaining a foothold in the fight in round six, but ultimately produced the equalizer in the seventh to take the crown. Shimoda, 26, will be furious with himself as he bossed the majority of the fight and was up five rounds to one on my card going into the seventh round. One lapse in concentration with only thirty seconds left in round seven and Shimoda hit the canvas. The champion tried to get up at the count of nine, but stumbled over and the referee counted him out. The now former champion stayed down for a full minute before being helped to his feet and realising he no longer held the WBA belt. Also on the card i...

WBN Remembers: "Gypsy Boy" Ernie Smith

Phil D. Jay WBN Editor  (picure by boxrec.com)  After almost a year and a half without one of boxing’s great journeymen, World Boxing News is looking back at the 161-fight career of Worcestershire warrior Ernie Smith, concentrating on his contribution in the ring, rather than the tragic way his life ended out of it. Smith turned professional at super-featherweight in 1998 at the Park Hall Hotel in Wolverhampton, losing a six rounder against Welshman Woody Greenaway.  One month later, Ernie was thrown in with an unknown prospect by the name of Gavin Rees (former world champion and current British Lightweight Champion) who he also took the distance over four rounds. The “Gypsy Boy” then managed to string together a four fight unbeaten run together in early 1999 and ended the year winning five out of his twelve contests, but by this time had already delved into the journeyman pool of boxers with a record of 5-8-1. After settling at the welterweight limit, Ernie ga...
