Sims of Chicago has a record of 13-1-1 with four knockouts, and will be making his 4th appearance on ShoBox. The 24 year-old is getting right back in the ring after winning a six-round unanimous decision over Andrew Rodgers on October 13th.<\/p>\n
“Camp was great. I fought on October 13th and I never stopped training,” said Sims.<\/p>\n
Sims feels he will start to come into his power as he has been focusing on strength and conditioning over his last three fights.<\/p>\n
“I got a full training camp with my strength and conditioning coach Ed Jack. He also works with Andre Ward, Bryant Jennings and the Charlo brothers.”<\/p>\n
Sims will be back on ShoBox for the second time this year. On July 20th, Sims fought to an entertaining draw against undefeated Montana Love in a fight that Sims and his team believes that the fight should have been scored in his favor.<\/p>\n
“I will be even better then my last fight on ShoBox. Samuel Teah is a good fighter, but I really do not have much to say about him. I am happy to be back on ShoBox. I am improved from my last performance, and I will show the world that I am better.”<\/p>\n
Said Sims promoter, Vito Mielnicki of GH3 Promotions:<\/p>\n
“Kenny has been active over the past four months. This will be his third bout, and he is just 24 years-old. Some people still don’t realize that because he was a touted amateur, and he has appeared on this platform so many times. I think we will see a stronger Kenneth Sims on Friday, and he will start to realize the promise that many including myself had for him as he was coming up in the pro ranks.”<\/p>\n
Sims weighed in at 139 pounds at Thursday’s weigh in.<\/p>\n
