A few weeks ago, Silverback Entertainment announced a big Atlanta fight card for their upcoming debut event, the “King of King Boxing Showdown”. Thanks to Renee Harris over at Silverback, STACKS Magazine got the chance to attend Silverback’s Company Launch Reception and The King of King Boxing Showdown Press Conference to get the lowdown on what Silverback’s CEO, Fredrico Jones is bringing to town. On what to expect, here’s what Jones had to say.

“My goal is to coordinate and deliver professional boxing events with well know names and provide an opportunity for boxers to get their names out within the boxing industry. The city is known for several sporting events but professional boxing has always been a struggle to develop and maintain here. Taking on the challenge to build the city of Atlanta as the next boxing capitol with expectations of attracting other boxing promoters to bring there fights to Atlanta is a great aspiration of mine. The city has so many special attractions to offer boxing fans from around the world, not to mention the facilities within the communities that can be utilized to host the events while making it affordable for individuals and families to attend. Therefore, Silverback Entertainment will network with local facilities and deliver creative concepts for professional boxing events. I have a strong team behind me and with the support of boxing fans I know we can stimulate revenue into the city from this exceptional sport”.

To jump things off, Silverback will present “The King of King Boxing Showdown” which will feature entertainment, celebrity appearances, six professional bouts and of course the main event.
