On April 30, 2010, ShoBox “The New Generation” will feature Cestus Management’s undefeated Super Middleweight, Don “DA’ BOMB” George (19-0-1 w/17 KOS) in his home town of Chicago, Illinois. “DA’ BOMB” who is of Irish and Greek bloodlines is true to his fighting heritage and is ready able and willing to step-up to the next level and fight anybody. The first step will be taken against the tough and rugged African contender Osumanu Adama (17-1 w/13 KOS ) over eight rounds, at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago, Illinois.  The fight is guaranteed to be a ShoBox shootout as both of these super middleweights can flat out bang!.
In George’s two previous outings he looked very impressive in disposing of the tough and experienced Jason Naugler and the hard punching Phil “The Drill” Williams, delivering sensational 3rd and 4th round knockouts. George who is notoriously know for his knockout power has KO’d 17 of his 20 opponents all within 5 rounds. These wins are a result of George using a good sound defense complimented with a savage offensive style that features an explosive and brutal one punch knockout capability.
George has been in training for this fight against Adama since the middle of February and has had a phenomenal training camp and is ready to put on the type of performance that ShoBox is always looking for, which is quality fighters who produce quality fights, that generate PURE EXCITEMENT!!!
Cestus Management, who is the manager of George and guides his career, feels that their charge has been properly groomed and is ready to experience the next level in boxing.  The company’s vast experience with the ShoBox series and other premium television networks has served to prepare the Chicago Irish/Greek BOMBER for his first major moment in the spotlight.  

Mike Michael (Exclusive Adviser) said, “Donovan George’s two previous wins against Jason Naugler and Phil Williams where exceptional. “I’ve been saying this from day one, that it would only be a matter of time before Donovan becomes a force to be reckoned with in the Super-Middleweight division. Look at the savage ferocity that he displayed in his last two fights and the way that he dismantled two very live opponents in a combined total of seven rounds. In these fights “DA BOMB” produced entertainment, great anticipation, knockdowns and  “KO”s and that’s what boxing fans want to see when they pay their money.

Michael continued, “I have seen Donovan grow and mature and evolve as an athlete, where i have seen an overall improvement in his ability as a professional fighter. So i am very confident and feel that Donovan is 110% ready to take the next step when he makes his ShoBox” debut. Michael added, “Donovan George always reminds me of the fighters of the 1950’s era, who where fearless and fought with a savage go for broke fighting style. I believe that Don “DA BOMB” George is a throw-back and everyone will see this on ShoBox April 30th.

Phil “The Drill” Williams (11,2) will be traveling to Chicago Illinois to face Don “Da Bomb” George January 29 at the UIC Pavilion. Williams is looking to get past his loss to Vanda while Don George is looking to continue his path of destruction. George has not yet tasted defeat and out of his 18 fights only 2 have made it to the final bell. Don George was kind enough to take some time to do a quick Q and A with us, below is our conversation.

M….When did you take up boxing and why?

Don George….I started boxing because of my father he was an Amateur boxer who boxed out of Chicago and he introduced me to boxing when  I was 5 and got me hooked. Looking back I remember that when I put my first pair of gloves on, I liked to punch so much that it was a natural thing for me to do. I would finish school and go into our garage and punch the bag practically everyday, which of course made my dad a very happy man.

M….Judging from your record (18,0) with 16 KO’s, you are a heavy hitter. How would you describe your style?

Don George….I am a boxer puncher and I have very good solid boxing skills and great footwork. I know that a lot of people in boxing look at my record and all they see are knockouts and think that I am only a puncher. I love knocking my opponents out its the greatest feeling in the world, but I combine my power with my boxing skills because I know that I can really box……so do not be blinded by my power, Donovan George is the real deal and the complete package.

M….Are there any fighters past or present that you try to pattern yourself after?

Don George….I would never pattern myself after anybody I am Donovan George and I am what I am and the rest of the fighters past or present are who they are. I want to be known for myself as a fighter and to compare myself with other fighters I don’t believe is fair to myself or them.

M….What fighters are must-see for you?

Don George….I grew up watching all of the great fighters like Sugar Ray Robinson, Roberto Duran, Marvin Hagler, Muhammad Ali and Diego Corrales these are just a few of my favorites; and of course their are many more. I love Sugar Ray I think he is the greatest fighter of all time and I believe that nobody can compare to him as the total package in boxing he is the man.

Don George landing DA Bomb

M….Da Bomb, I have a pretty good guess of how you got your moniker. When did they start calling you that and how did it come about?

Don George….In Chicago everybody pronounces practically everything with the word “DA”, example of this is; Da Bulls, DaBears etc; and because of my punching power we came up  with “DA BOMB” and it just took of off and now everybody knows that’s me.

M….It’s been said that Phil “The Drill” Williams will be your toughest fight to date, do you feel that is a true statement?

Don George….First I would like to say to everyone that has made these statements that Williams will be my easiest fight, I will dissect him and brutally destroy him. I am on my way to the top and all Williams is doing is helping to get there by showing up for the fight and take a beating and that’s all there is to it. Before this guy agreed to fight me nobody knew who he was, does anybody know who he is outside of where he lives.

M….Have you done much studying of Williams fights?

Don George….I have trained for this fight like I train for all of my fights; like I am fighting for a World Title. There is nothing to study about Williams his record speaks for itself every time he has boxed somebody that can fight he has lost and he will brutally and painfully lose to me on January 29th because as Williams already knows i can really fight.

Don George and Mike Michael

M….How did this fight come to be?

Don George….Cestus Management who is my manager and my promoters Warriors Boxing & 8 Count Productions offered the fight to Williams and he accepted (which was the biggest mistake of his life). I needed to fight someone to stay busy and keep sharp because I like to fight as much as I can, if it was up to me I would fight every week if it was possible.

M….For those coming out to watch you guys go January 29, what can they expect to see?

Don George….I have trained as hard as fighter can possibly train for a fight and I know and understand what I must do to Williams and I will execute our fight plan to the last letter. I will be at my best and put on a super display of boxing combined with bone crushing power that will be to much for Williams, I will give the fans the sensational victory that they want and totally destroy Williams.

I want to also let your readers know that I am sure that Williams has regretted taking the fight against me and has now realized as the fight is getting closer how big of a beating I am going to give him and how bad he is going to lose on January 29th.

 M….Do you have any predictions?

Don George….Williams will lose the fight and find out what it means to fight Donovan George and have “DA BOMB” explode all over him.  

M….Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers?

Don George….I would like to thank everybody for taking the time to read this article and promise everybody that I will be at my best and deliver a hell of a performance and a huge win.

We would like to thank Don George for doing this Q and A with us and Mike Michael for making it happen. For more information on George or Cestus Management click here cestusboxing.com/

January 29 will be a big night for Minnesota boxing, just not in Minnesota. The news of these two fights came while I was out of commission, so if you had not heard yet, I am sorry for the delay.

Matt Vanda will be taking on Peter Manfredo Jr at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville Connecticut January 29. Most know Manfredo from his time on the Contender reality boxing series and some may remember his win over Anthony Bonsante. Manfredo’s record is (33,6) with losses to Joe Calzaghe and Jeff Lacy and most recently losing to Sakio Bika. This should be a great opportunity for Vanda to try and jump back into the national scene. An interesting point here is that a win or a loss could hinder the possibility of Kolle/Vanda two. If Vanda wins, he may want to stay at this higher weight and keep looking for greater exposure type fights. If he losses, team Kolle may think the fight just isnt worth it since they have beaten Vanda one time already.

Phil “The Drill” Williams is not taking an easy fight after his loss to Matt Vanda. On the very same night Vanda steps back in the ring so will Williams. The Drill is set to fight Don George (18,0) at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago Illinois, January 29. Williams will be the toughest opponent George has faced in his 18 fights, but it must be stated that in those 18 fights, 16 were stoppages. It is clear Phil William’s team is trying to get him back to where he was before the Vanda fight in as fast a time as possible. This looks to be a make or break fight for The Drill.
