Middleweight Jonathan “El Conquistador” Cepeda’s first fight in 2015 is all set. Cepeda (15-1, 13KO’s) will look to improve his record and his 87% knockout rating when he faces Jonathan Reid (35-17, 19 KO’s) on Tuesday, January 27th as part of the Tuesday Night Carolinas Fight Night at Club Label in Charlotte, NC. Reid is best known for appearing on The Contender reality series. This will be Cepeda’s fourth fight in the past six months after a taking a two-year hiatus following his one and only loss to Lamar Russ in October of 2012.
“I learned a lot from that loss and during my two-year break. Not only do I have a great team around me now, I’ve also developed the mental toughness and maturity needed to become a champion,” Cepada said.
Cepeda’s career was reactivated when he was signed by Kran Sports and Entertainment Management (www.kransports.com) in the spring of 2014. “Prior to signing Jonathan we watched a lot of footage of his past fights and fell in love with what we saw. He’s got a heavy hand that can knock anyone down at any time and that’s exciting to watch,” said Greg Adams, General Partner at Kran Sports.
