Forestville, Maryland Super Lightweight, Mykal “The Professor” Fox (8-0, 2 KOs) dominates Adam “Bad Boy” Maté (18-7, 11 KOs) of Sopron, Hungary.

In a six-round contest 6'4" Forestville, MD super lightweight Mykal "The Professor" Fox put on another solid performance against Adam "Bad Boy" Mate'. Fox came out and established his jab with ease over the shorter Mate'. Fox used that jab to keep his opponent at a distance where he was able to land combinations at will. Throughout the rounds Fox also started using the jab to go to the body of Mate'. 

Mate' tried to close the distance on Mykal Fox but the footwork of Fox proved to be quicker than Mate' was expecting. Fox showed great boxing ability and ring smarts by turning Mate when necessary to keep him off balance.  

In the fifth and sixth rounds Fox was able to continue breaking down the guard of Mate' in a manner that seemed to frustrate the shorter fighter. The performance that Fox put on gave him the unanimous decision win with all three judges scoring the contest 60-54.

Fox starts his Kings Promotions debut at 8-0, two KO's while Adam Mate' falls to 18-7, 10 KO's.

Malik explained how Baltimore has been through its share of tough times, but now he hopes for better days. “I want to bring life back to the city, cause we been through a lot with all the Freddie Gray stuff. I want kids to know that as long as you grind for something you believe in, you can do it”, said Malik. Malik continues to be positive role model for the inner city youth of Baltimore because he too was once in their shoes trying to find a way to make it. Boxing has been his answer and plans to make the best of it. Malik’s opponent is TBA for this event but he assured fans that he will be ready for whoever is across the ring from him on that day.

The Boxing Renaissance event which will be held on December 12, 2015 at Du Burns Arena in Baltimore, MD will be promoted by SHABAZZ BROTHERS + SHAWSTYLEZ PRODUCTIONS.
