PHILADELPHIA (February 23, 2010)—“Hammerin” Hank Lundy is undefeated and wants to prove to the world that he is one of the top Lightweight prospect’s anywhere and he is willing to face anyone to prove that.
Lundy of Philadelphia took his record to 17-0-1 with ten knockouts with a ten round split decision against former Cuban amateur star Richard Abril (12-1-1) on January 22nd in Boston.
Lundy has a fan friendly style and has the confidence that champions need to excel to the next level.
“Look at the records of the guys who I have fought.. I was fighting opponents with fifty-plus fights in my sixth bout. “, said Lundy
“I have fought many veterans, undefeated guys and now contenders. I am ready for the next level so any lightweight out there preferably in the top ten because I know I am very close to realizing my dream to become world champion.”
Lundy has taken on five undefeated guys (4-0-1) before his meeting with Abril. Lundy annihilated then 10-0 Jason Cintron on April 24, 2009 and the momentum has continued to grow on his way to a significant fight.
“He is Mr. Excitement and shortly he will be Mr. World champion”, said Lundy’s manager Ivan Cohen.
“We are looking to move him rapidly as we he is ready for anybody in the Lightweight division. We are working on getting him a little more exposure here in Philly then it’s time to unleash him on the world.”
Lundy is currently ranked sixth by the NABO and is ready to fight anybody in order to get his chance at the world title.
Lundy, who is promoted by Providence, based Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment Sports feels the same way as the fighter and manager.
“Hank is ready for anyone in the top-ten at 135 pounds”, said Burchfield
“Look at his last four fights. Especially Cintron who was undefeated, Valtierra who was a grizzled veteran who had only been stopped once and Hank got him out of there in one. Then Abril who was a decorated amateur who brought a style of a lot of movement and Hank was able to beat these guys showing the versatility of a champion.”
“We would love to fight guys such as John Murray of England, David Diaz, Michael Katsidis, Anthony Peterson or Martin Honorio right now.”
“There is always a special fighter that comes out of the woodwork who is very exciting and knocks people out. Hank is that guy. I defiantly put him in the class of a Ray Mancini and Vinny Paz in terms of excitement”
“This kid belongs on ESPN and SHO BOX now. And any of those fights that I mentioned are more than worthy for the networks. He has a terrific team in place with Ivan Cohen and Sloan Harrison who bring a lot to the table as they have each been in the game along time and have worked with many world champions themselves and we all feel we are ready to get to the top of the mountain.”
“On top of everything else, this kid has a great personality and is a quote machine. He feels he is the best and he doesn’t use any sware words when he talks. Once the rest of the country gets to know Hank Lundy they will be sure to fall in love with him as a fighter and person.”
Lundy is promoted by Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment Sports (CES); managed by Ivan Cohen and trained by Sloan Harrison as well as his strength and condition coach Brian Cohen.
