Anthony Nieves - Ready to take advantage of his window

On October 2nd Anthony Nieves will make his professional boxing debut at King of the Ring in Georgia. Nieves is a Muay Thai fighter with massive potential, and has decided to turn to professional boxing to continue to improve his arsenal.

"I wanted to work on my hands so decided to take a pro boxing fight." said Nieves. "I figured afterwards I would be more confident in my hands"

Originally scheduled to face Maurice Winslow, Nieves will now face Frank Davis. There was a drastic weight difference between Nieves and Winslow, and a new opponent closer to Nieves weight was brought in, the opponent wouldn't have stopped Nieves from making his pro debut, didn't matter what weight he was.

"Maurice was too big. But, I would fight him anyway lol." said Nieves. "I'm my own manager right now I want to stay busy so sometimes I take big bites."
