Legendary boxing trainer Emanuel Steward said that he believes that former Washington Redskins and Colorado wide receiver Michael Westbrook could develop into a heavyweight boxing contender.
"If Michael had four, five, six fights under his belt, he would be taken seriously in the heavyweight division," said Steward on a conference call. "He has the mental toughness and physical strength to move into the heavyweight division." Westbrook will meet former New York Giants first round draft pick and Michigan stickout Jarrod Bunch in a battle of former NFL players in the King of the Cage mixed martial arts competition in Cleveland, Ohio on February 25. The main event, dubbed PAYBACK, will premiere on a Pay-Per-View telecast on Sunday, March 6. [details]
