WILCOCK TO ASSUME ROLE OF
VICE PRESIDENT OF GLOBAL OPERATIONS
Greg Cohen Promotions is proud to announce the appointment of Australian promoter Adam Wilcock of FightCard Promotions to the role of Vice President of Global Operations.
In a move to further cement its growing role as a global promotional force, the official addition of Wilcock to the GCP team formalizes their now long-standing partnership.
As a leading promoter and manager within the Australian market, the addition of Wilcock into the executive team gives GCP a solid foundation and base in both the Australian and ever growing Pacific/Asian regions.
Making the announcement CEO Greg Cohen was typically upbeat, "Adam and I have been working together for over four years now on a number of different projects. There are some big things ahead in the immediate future of GCP and its role within the boxing landscape, adding Adam into our executive team gives GCP further solidity and ability to grow. From both a strategic and operational level I couldn't be happier with the advancement that we have made as a company with this announcement. This appointment further allows GCP to work within the Australian market, the boxing-strong region of Southeast Asia and also expand its reach into the UK. Adam is a tireless worker and servant to boxing, over the past four years he's helped re-establish Australian boxing on the world scene and I'm excited to have him add to the already great team at GCP."
Wilcock will split his time between the USA and Australia, as GCP continues to mine the talent-rich Australian boxing scene for future champions. According to the 39-year-old English-born Wilcock, this new role is a dream come true.
"Greg is the consummate professional in this industry and we've been working on a number of different things over the past few years. I'm looking forward to helping shape and guide a positive future for GCP. There are some great things on the horizon and I'm looking forward to the challenges ahead."
"The Aussie boxers that we have on the GCP roster at the moment are all not only great talents, but also wonderful people. There's a hotbed of talent in Australia and GCP plans to find and help crown the next Aussie world champ," continued Cohen.
Having worked together to bring the strongest Australian talent onto the world stage, GCP will showcase its commitment to expanding markets with the upcoming US debut of undefeated Australian-based Irishman "Hurricane" Dennis Hogan (19-0, 7 KOs), on its upcoming Thursday, November 13, show at The Space at Westbury in Westbury, New York. Hogan, who resides in Brisbane, Australia, is ranked top 15 by both WBA and IBF.
