ALANTEZ FOX IMPROVES TO 11-0-1, 4 KO'S

April 27, 2013 - Boxing 360 promoted prospect Alantez Fox remains undefeated after pitching a shutout against Keith Collins on a card held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma this past Thursday. Fox (11-0-1, 4KOs) was origanlly slated to face Djolevi Ballogou on April 20th, but after some unforeseen issues that prevented Ballogou from competing Boxing360 quickly stepped in and salvaged the effort Fox put forth preparing for his initial date, delaying his appearance by a mere 5 days. Fox earned the unanimous decision victory over Collins by the judges' scores of 60-54, 60-54, and 60-53.

Fox was superb in his latest outing, showcasing a wider range of skills not previously seen in his earlier fights, proving he is improving quicker than most prospects. At 21 years old, Fox is already an impressive physical specimen, evident of his last performance, but he feels he is constantly getting stronger and believes he has yet to reach his physical peak.

"I felt great and I want to thank Boxing 360 for allowing me to do what I love, especially when most guys in my position would've had to sit out and wait several weeks or even months to compete after a postponement. I honestly feel like I'm getting stronger every day, my opponent was lucky we fought when we did because another week or so and I'd be even more dangerous, I truly feel that way. My training camps aren't a chore to me, I'm actually excited every day in the gym to see how far I progress day to day," Fox said.

Fox didn't just show physical superiority, he demonstrated a refined sense of boxing ability as well.

"I'm confident in my skills, but I'm also a student of the game and I know that even at the highest level you have to continue to improve on your craft. We were preparing for one guy and then we had to quickly prepare for another, but that's good experience for me and it never changed the things we do in the gym to fine tune my technical ability," Fox said.

Mario Yagobi of Boxing360 was happy to oblige Fox and was pleased with the progress he's making thus far in his career. He is looking to grant Fox his wishes and keep him busy.

"We'll get him in there again real soon, that's what he wants and it's refreshing to see a fighter who truly loves to compete. I want to keep him busy because it's what he wants, but I must admit that as a fan I want to see him in the ring as much as possible. It's astonishing how quickly this kid is picking things up and it's fun seeing him grow in the ring," Yagobi said.

ALANTEZ FOX TO FIGHT IN OKLAHOMA APRIL 25TH

April 20, 2013 -- Alantez Fox (10-0-1, 4 KOs) will not be competing on April 20th as scheduled, he was due to face Djolevi Ballogou this weekend but those plans changed after Ballogou was denied approval to compete.  Fox will not waste much time and is in fact already rescheduled to compete on April 25th against a new opponent.   Fox will now take on late replacement Keith Collins (4-22, 2 KOs) in Oklahoma in an attempt to salvage an opportunity to perform.

It's always disappointing to have a fight cancelled, especially when the responsibility falls on your opponent's shoulders, but Fox is fortunate enough to stay on course and finish what he started in camp.

"I'm just happy I didn't have to waste an entire training camp. It's frustrating because you sacrifice and kill yourself in the gym for the ultimate goal and when you can't complete that goal it can feel like a failure even if it wasn't your fault. My main goal was obtaining more experience and it feels good to not be cheated out of it, I have my team to thank for that," Fox said.

Boxing360's Mario Yagobi was able to keep his fighter active and he thinks that is the most important aspect of bringing a fighter along.

"Injuries and other circumstances will occur during a fighter's career and cancelled/postponed fights are always going to play a role in the fight game. There are few fighters as committed as Fox to doing things the right way, you have to reward guys like him and work as hard as he does at making sure no effort is made in vain," Yagobi said.

ALANTEZ "SLYAZA" FOX RETURNS APRIL 20TH IN MARYLAND

March 26, 2013 - Rising undefeated junior middleweight prospect Alantez Fox(10-0-1, 4 KOs) will be making his third appearance of the year on April 20th against Djolevi Ballogou (8-4, 6 KOs) at the Show Place Arena in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.  The Maryland native Fox will square off with Ballogou in a scheduled 6 rounder.

The plan has always been to keep Fox busy and he wouldn't have it any other way.  Treading the line between dedication and over exertion can be rewarding and Fox feels totally in control of his physical nature.

"I am in great shape and being able to stay busy has been a huge benefit for me, that is unfortunate for my opponent because he's going to have to find a way to outwork me, which isn't happening," Fox said.

Fox went on to explain how the physical and psychological benefits of maintaining a high work rate can be a motivating factor.

"Keep serving them up, that's how I feel because a closed mouth don't get fed and I'm fighting like I'm starving.  I'm trying to fight as many times possible.  It just feels right being in training camp and preparing for a fight. Each time I go out there I try to improve and work on the things that will make me a better fighter, so it's important for me to go out there and make every fight count," Fox said.

Boxing 360's Mario Yagobi, Fox's promoter, said keeping his fighter busy is a smart way of bringing a fighter along and his schedule will slow down as the opponents become more difficult.

"He's right where we want him in terms of progression, it's the strategy we've discussed and we're sticking to it. You have to find the balance between challenging your fighter and allowing him to come up without being rushed. Right now the difficulty of the opponent is increasing but we're still staying active, we just have to be aware," Yagobi said.

Yagobi is right about the toughness of Fox's April 20th opponent; Ballogou possesses some power and can be a very dangerous puncher at any moment in a fight, scoring stoppages in early and late rounds. He's also gone the distance in 12 round fights, whereas Fox has fought 6 rounds the majority of his career, with the exception of his one and only 8 rounder back in September of last year.

ALANTEZ "SLYAZA" FOX REMAINS UNDEFEATED IMPROVES TO 10-0-1

March 4, 2013 - Junior middleweight prospect Alantez "SLYAZA" Fox (10-0-1, 4 KOs) remains undefeated after earning a victory in his 11th pro fight.  Fox defeated Greg Hackett in a 6 round bout on a card that took place at the Rosecroft Raceway in Fort Washington, Maryland, Fox's home state.

It was a shutout performance from Fox as he cruised to a unanimous decision victory.  He displayed some high level boxing skills and managed to win every round on the judges' scorecards.  It was his second victory this year and he isn't looking to rest on his laurels.

"I did what I trained to do and that was beat my opponent," Fox said. "I was looking to get some real work in and we accomplished that.  We've been working on some things in the gym, but experimenting in camp is different than executing in real time.  I'll take everything I possibly can from this performance and gear up to make my next appearance inside of the ring."

Fox has stayed very busy in the last 6 months and no one would blame him if he were to soak in his recent victory, however Fox is determined to keep active while admitting he's capable of deciding the moments for appropriate rests.

"I know my body well enough to know when to push it and when to slow it down.  As of now I'm ready and able to continue making strides in my career.  I'm in a good place mentally and physically, but my team knows that I won't hesitate to take my breaks if and when I need them.  For now, I'm more interested in becoming the best fighter I can possibly be," Fox said.

"I'm already looking for another opponent for Alantez," said his promoter Mario Yagobi of Boxing 360. "He's coming along very well and I see him getting better with each fight.  He'll be back in the ring sometime in the near future."
