SMOKIN JOE SIGNS WITH GOODWIN

Goodwin Promotions are delighted to announce a further addition to their ever expanding team with the signing of a three-year promotional deal with unbeaten middleweight prospect 'Smoking' Joe Mullender. 

26 year-old Mullender, from Brentwood in Essex, has won all four of his pro contests and is already rated 21 in the country (BoxRec ratings).

Mullender wants to box for the Southern Area title in the next six months and is determined to blast his way through the rankings.

Promoter Steve Goodwin said: “Joe Mullender is another exciting signing to our expanding team. Boxers and managers know that we deliver what we promise and we are always happy to work with those that understand our ethic and work with us as a team."

Mullender's manager Richard Clark said: “Goodwin Promotions offered us a deal that we thought was very acceptable and we feel that both Joe and Goodwin Promotions will benefit from it.”

Goodwin Promotions' next show is the bumper 'Trail of Destruction' card at York Hall on June 29^th and with four more shows pencilled in for the rest of 2013 exciting times lie ahead for the GP boxers.

21 year-old 'Tornado' Tyler Goodjohn aims to get back to winning ways on December 8th in Brentwood - and has hired a former champion as his trainer

Goodjohn won his first five fights before suffering a surprise defeat at the hands of Vinny Woolford a year ago. A routine win followed but then in a very close fight which could have gone either way, Tyler dropped a decision by a single point to current Southern Area champion Danny Connor.

A week on Saturday he faces Sylwester Walczak from Poland who has lost only two from six fights.

Since his loss to Connor, Goodjohn has appointed Steve Spartacus as his trainer and signed a long term deal with Goodwin Promotions. Spartacus was the first ever English light-heavyweight champion back in 2003 and also twice challenged for the Lonsdale belt. 

 “I feel in tremendous shape," said Goodjohn. “I have been working incredibly hard with my new trainer Steve Spartacus, who has added so much to my game. I am still very young in boxing terms but I have experienced a lot early and I have 100% confidence that my ability and determination will win titles. 

"I will start by showing on December 8^th that 2013 is going to be my year. I will be bringing the Fen Army to Essex who always do me proud and there will definitely be a tornado in Essex.”

 Promoter Steve Goodwin added: “I am delighted to have signed Tyler. He is a very determined young man and things just have not fallen his way. I have total confidence that from now on Tyler will be able to fulfil his dreams and I look forward to being a part of it and helping him achieve his goals.”

 Goodjohn's bout is one of eight being shown live and for free on Primetime (Sky 498) from 5.30 pm on Saturday December 8th. The mammoth 'Earthquake in Essex' card features 15 bouts in total.

 The show is headed by a rematch for the Southern Area light-middleweight title between Kris Agyei-Dua and Nathan Graham. The fight that has created the most public interest and the one everyone wants to see is the grudge heavyweight clash between rejuvenated former amateur star Ian Lewison and undefeated Welsh prospect Dorian Darch (6-0).

 Recording star John Tubby will perform his forthcoming single as an added attraction.
