Boxing site tabs former 溏心vlog免费B站 football player Vladine Biosse as New England’s 2010 Prospect of the Year<\/i> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 Wednesday, January 12, 2011 \u2013 Former 溏心vlog免费B站 football player Vladine Biosse has made a name for himself since entering the professional boxing ranks in 2009.<\/p>\n

After winning all four of his bouts in 2010 \u2013 including an eight-round decision over \u201cIrish\u201d Joey McCreedy in front of 42 million viewers on ESPN2\u2019s Friday Night Fights on July 9, Biosse was tabbed by www.8countnews.com as New England\u2019s 2010 Prospect of the Year, the boxing website announced earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Despite less than two years as a professional, Biosse has proved himself in the ring. His victory over McCreedy earned him the New England Super Middleweight and the EBA Super Middleweight championships, and he has successfully defended his belts twice already. With a 9-0 record and four knockouts to his credit, Biosse has made waves in the boxing world since signing with Classic Entertainment and Sports Boxing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo fighter brought more to the table in 2010 than Vladine Biosse,\u201d said his promoter, Jimmy Burchfield said. \u201cSince we signed him nearly two years ago, Vladine has grown into one of the most well-rounded fighters in the super middleweight division. His athleticism is what sets him apart from other up-and-comers in this sport.\u201d<\/p>\n

A native of Cape Verde, Biosse grew up wanting to be a professional soccer player like his father, Victor, a star in their homeland. Vladine Biosse moved to the United States when he was 14. Despite not being able to speak English at the time, he did well enough in school to go to college to play football. Before his junior year, he transferred to 溏心vlog免费B站, where he played defensive back and wide receiver.<\/p>\n

Not many professional boxers have their college degree. Of course, not many boxers begin their professional career after turning 26 years old, either.<\/p>\n

Despite this, Biosse is now headlining New England boxing events as he moves up the ladder. His next fight \u2013 against veteran Samson Onyango of Nairobi, Kenya \u2013 will be part of the main event of CES Boxing\u2019s \u2018Block Party\u2019 fight card at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.<\/p>\n

\u201cVladine conquered every obstacle in his path last year, and exceeded even our own expectations,\u201d Burchfield said. \u201cHe\u2019s set the bar incredibly high, and we\u2019re looking forward to watching him continue to develop into a legitimate, world-title challenger in 2011.\u201d<\/p>\n
