<\/a>Middleweight Michael Moore will appear on the upcoming season of the Contender.<\/p>\nThe highly anticipated 12-episode season, from MGM Television and Paramount Television, will premiere on EPIX\u00ae on Aug. 24, 2018 at 10 PM ET\/PT.<\/p>\n
Moore of Cleveland, Ohio has a record of 15-1 with 7 knockouts.<\/p>\n
The 31 year-old Moore, who is riding a two-fight winning streak will be able to gain worldwide exposure by competing on the popular television program.<\/p>\n
Moore is reformed from a hard life on the street. With drugs, death and family suicide prevalent around him, Michael Moore is a natural hustler and leader. Married with two kids, Moore is constantly moving from state to state with his family in tow in pursuit of the boxing dream.<\/p>\n
“I feel blessed to be part of The Contender series because I know there were a lot of other fighters out there that are good like me and have stories of hardship like me,” said Moore.<\/p>\n
“At the time I was approached by Split-T Management, I was going through a rough patch in life as money was really tight, bills were piling, and I had recently pulled out of the biggest fight of my life which was going to be nationally televised due to an injury a week before the bout. I felt lost because I didn’t know what I was going to do. When I was a kid, I would hustle to make some money but as a man with a wife and two kids, I can’t get involved in those kind of stuff but I have to make something happen to keep a roof over their heads and food on their plates.”<\/p>\n
“This opportunity couldn’t come at a better time and I plan to take full advantage of changing the lives of my family.”<\/p>\n
“I want to thank Split-T Management and people of The Contender for giving me this opportunity to change my life and when you see me, you will see a father, a husband, a man, a fighter who works his darnest because there is a lot on the line when it comes to Michael Moore.”<\/p>\n
“When we were approached on who we thought would be great for the Contender Series, Michael first came to my mind because he is a good fighter who has such a great story behind him,” said Moore’s manager David McWater, CEO of Split-T Management. “Once you get to hear his words, and hear his story you will instantly be a fan.”<\/p>\n
