I also thought it was cool that he\u2019s been involved in a charity-run boxing gym. My coach and others said, if I sign with anybody, it should be with Keith. He is definitely going to make my life easier. He always picks up the phone when I need to speak with him. I can\u2019t negotiate but now he will handle that for me. Boxing is what I love to do and Keith will help me be my best. He will take care of logistics, negotiating and take me to the top. I want to be world champion, fight in big fights, and do what\u2019s right for the sport.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cArjan Iseni has all the ingredients I look for in a fighter &#8211; talent, power, discipline and a tremendous work ethic,\u201d Sullivan commented. \u201cWith a record of 6-0, he\u2019s just getting started. I believe he has a very bright future in this sport, and I am excited to welcome him to the Sullivan Management team and help guide him toward the biggest fights and opportunities in boxing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Iseni\u2019s head trainer Arleano Sosa added, \u201cI\u2019m pleased Arjan Iseni has signed a boxing management contract with Keith Sullivan. Arjan was an elite amateur, winning multiple New York, regional, and national titles. He was ranked No. 1 in the U.S. for several years and gained valuable experience competing internationally. Now 6\u20130 as a professional with 5 knockouts, Arjan has a bright future ahead. Keith is a dedicated manager committed to helping his fighters reach the elite level. Together, they\u2019re working toward the ultimate goal: a world championship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Iseni, 23, was a 5-time U.S. national amateur champion, including top honors at the prestigious 2021 USA National Championships, who registered an 85-25 record. Because his parents are from Macedonia, Iseni was able to join that country\u2019s boxing team, which led to him gaining invaluable experience fighting all around the world: United Araa Emirates, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, Poland, Uzbekistan and Ecuador.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy parents are Albanians but citizens of Macedonia,\u201d explained the self-described pure boxer Iseni, \u201cand I was able to fight for the Macedonian boxing team. I wanted to fight internationally and fought the best of the best from each country. I had signing offers from promoters when I was 17-18 and won some national titles, but you tend to fight the same guys in those tournaments. By fighting internationally, I fought opponents with different styles from Eastern Europe, Asia, Russia and other countries. You can\u2019t compare fighting guys with different styles in fights to prepare to go pro.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Iseni has also benefited from already sparring proven professional boxers such as super middleweight world title challenger Edgar \u201cThe Chosen One\u201d Berlanga (24-2, 19 KOs) and undefeated British cruiserweight Viddal Riley (14-0, 7 KOs).<\/p>\n<p>The 6\u2019 3\u201d southpaw Iseni will make his Sullivan Management debut on the November 14th \u201cBrick City Fight Night\u201d card, presented by Rising Star Promotions, in a 6-round match against Everton Still (5-2-1, 3 KOs) against the Robert Treat Hotel in Newark, New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>A former New York State Athletic Commission Deputy Commissioner, Sullivan also manages 3-time, 2-division world champion Miyo Yoshida (19-5, 1 KO), undefeated Brooklyn heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor (13-0, 8 KOs), Serbian heavyweight Sanel Hasanovic (10-1-1, 8 KOs), Bronx NYPD officer Nisa Rodriguez (4-1, 2 KOs), Albanian heavyweight Kristian Prenga (21-2, 21 KOs), lightweight Fei Faiva (6-0-1, 4 KOs) and junior featherweight prospect Brooklyn \u201cThe Big Deal\u201d Barwick (5-1, 5 KOs). Sullivan also co-manages IBF Welterweight World title challenger Paddy \u201cThe Real Deal\u201d Donovan (16-2, 12 KOs) and his cousin, middleweight Jim Donovan (2-0, 1 KO), alongside coach and ex-world champion Andy Lee.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Welcome To The &quot;Bad&quot;
