Cleveland “Fly As Day” Jones, manager of Golden Boy Promotions rising junior middleweight knockout artist Travell “Black Magic” Mazion (14-0, 12KOs) shares what goes in the mind of a boxing manager while training his boxer. Mazion will be returning back to ring, from an injury sustained on September 29th, 2018 vs Alan Zavala. The Team Mazion gears up for their 15th bout vs Jeremy Ramos which will be held in Grand Prairie, Texas on August 10th, 2019. The card will be filled with a lot of action as prospects and contenders from The Long Star State will clash it out.

The main event will be Hector “El Finito” Tanajara (17-0, 5 KOs) of San Antonio, Texas and he will defend his USNBC Lightweight Title in a 10-round clash. The co-main event will be Joshua “The Professor” Franco (15-1-1, 7 KOs), the unified NABF and WBA International Bantamweight Champion of San Antonio, Texas, who will defend his titles in a 10-round fight.

Cleveland “Fly As Day” Jones shared that as a manager it is important to handle the ego of his professional boxer and focus on the progress of his boxer. As a manager, one needs to work according to the clauses mentioned in the agreement signed with the boxer in order to reduce the chances for any sort of conflict. The manager also added that a boxing manager keeps track of the economics of other managers in the boxing world and he should start his training after analyzing the physical and physiological attributes of an amateur boxer.

A boxing manager must define all his legal rights and his boxer in a contract in order to sort any confusion if it arises. The manager further said it is vital to research about all the opportunities that can be utilized for a boxer in the boxing world.

For NBA teams in search of a dominant, athletic presence, Kévin Noulowe is an ideal candidate. The 6’10” forward brings together elite size, strength, and explosive athleticism that many believe make him an ideal fit for the NBA—if he can stay healthy.

Noulowe’s path to the top has been anything but conventional. A highly regarded high school prospect, he rapidly became one of the most coveted players in the junior college ranks. His impressive performances earned him All-American honors and a top-15 national ranking among junior college players, sparking the interest of over 60 Division I programs.

From there, Noulowe transitioned to play overseas in Armenia’s A League, where he made a major impact despite battling a knee injury. Averaging 13 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks per game, Noulowe showcased his all-around game, proving he could dominate in all facets of play. Known as the most athletic big man the league had ever seen, he captivated fans with his rim-rattling dunks and above-the-rim play, quickly becoming a fan favorite.

Several NBA teams, particularly those in need of a versatile big man, have shown significant interest in Noulowe and have already spoken to his agent. With the NBA increasingly valuing big men who can stretch the floor, Noulowe’s focus on regaining full health and developing a consistent jump shot has only heightened his appeal. His combination of physical dominance and developing shooting ability has made him a player to watch for scouts.

What makes Noulowe truly exceptional is his physical prowess. With a powerful 7’3″ wingspan and a 40-inch vertical leap, he has the tools to be a game-changer on both ends of the court. Noulowe is a nightmare for opponents on defense, using his strength, agility, and length to block shots and control the boards. As a finisher, he can absorb contact and finish with authority, making him a versatile threat in the paint. Whether playing the 3, 4, or 5 positions, he is capable of impacting the game from anywhere on the floor and is poised to become one of the NBA’s strongest forwards.

Perhaps what sets Noulowe apart most is his unwavering determination. His relentless work ethic and commitment to improving his skills have kept NBA teams intrigued. His dedication to his craft and his drive to succeed have made him a standout prospect.

The verdict from NBA scouts and coaches is clear: when Noulowe is fully healthy, he has the tools to not only compete but thrive in the NBA. With his journey far from over, all eyes are on this 6’10” powerhouse as he looks to bring his game to the highest level.
