Evangelos Giovanis & George Giovanis have officially announced that they have entered the promotional ring, launching 15th Round Promotions, with their first show scheduled in Iowa for July. Filmmakers and boxing gym owners, the Giovanis brothers will mentor the careers of young fighters by maximizing their potential and providing them with the opportunities that may otherwise not be there for them. George Giovanis, a longtime boxing coach and gym owner will serve as 15th Round Promotion’s President and CEO, headquartered in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
The brothers bring with them over a decade in coaching and managing experience in the boxing industry. “Boxing has and always will be my passion,” said George. “My brother and I look forward to developing talent into world champions.” Their fighters have already fought on prominent promotions such as Top Rank, 360, Red, Bash Boxing, All Star and more.
“My brother and I intend to provide today’s fighters with the opportunities and guidance we didn’t have at the outset of our career. In the coming weeks, we will be rounding out our staff, expanding our stable of talented fighters and announcing several key initiatives and partnerships that will spur more regional growth and popularity in the sport of boxing.”
15th Round Promotions has already begun to scout for talent in an attempt to grow its roster. Highly touted prospect Alexander Enriquez (11-0-3) was climbing the ranks, until a career-ending injury suffered in sparring. The fearless, always-entertaining and true brawler Andre Marquez (8-2), is a fan-favorite whenever he fights and has moved with his team to South Dakota. “We anticipate our roster growing with many more male and female prospects working tirelessly to reach their goals.”
The Giovanis brothers also work in the entertainment industry and make award winning, feature films. “Bereave,” starring Malcolm McDowell, Golden Globe Winner Jane Seymour and Academy Award Winner Keith Carradine, was released on Amazon Prime domestically and MGM worldwide in 2021.
We wish to deal with everybody. We’re looking for good fighters to put them on our cards. We’re looking for TV partners and aim to put on competitive and entertaining fights. Managers and coaches, feel free to reach out to us if your boxers need fights. The company is in talks to create a boxing series on a regular basis. The first boxing event will be held in Iowa on July 17, 2021.
