Star of David Promotions boss Dmitriy Salita is pleased and excited to announce the recent signing of Junior Wright, a cruiserweight contender from Chicago.

The 27-year-old Wright, a three-time Chicago Golden Gloves champion (2006, 2008, 2009), came to the attention of Salita when he expertly fought Steve Bujaj on a May 15 Star of David Promotions card in Brooklyn. That bout, a 10-round draw with the vacant WBC International cruiserweight title up for grabs, drew buzz for being a Fight of the Year candidate.

"Junior Wright is one of the best cruiserweights in the world," Salita said. "He is the kind of fighter the sport needs. From the early stages of his career he has shown the desire to fight and beat the best available fighters. His last fight was one of the best live fights I have ever seen." [Click Here To Read More]
