Former Coventry City forward Leon McKenzie has signed for Steve Goodwin Promotions in a management and promotional contract.
The 36 year old is unbeaten his five fights since turning to professional boxinh in June 2013 after retiring from playing professional football.
“Four of my five bouts have been with the Goodwin’s said McKenzie in a press release. "They have always looked after me well and I get on really well with them and Head of Boxing Kevin Campion so it was an easy decision to sign a management contract with Steve.
“I have had a couple of niggling injuries since my last bout in May this year but will be ready to return in December 2014 and then the aim is for a title fight in March 2015.”
Steve Goodwin was delighted with the new acquisition and said: “I have admired Leon both from what he is achieving in boxing but also his journey through life. We are determined to provide every opportunity for Leon to go as far as he possibly can in his career. Whilst Leon is 36 people like Leonard Bundu (age 39) and Bernard Hopkins (aged 49) have shown that if you look after yourself age can be just a number. We are delighted Leon has shown faith in us. All that matters to us is that we look after our boxers and we deliver everything we promise. We do not get involved in boxing politics with others and Leon appreciates that.”
