DeLuca (27-2, 15 KO) is a decent opponent for this stage of Conwell’s development, but will rightfully be a big underdog. He lost his one step-up against Kell Brook in decisive fashion, but has since won three fights in a row against lower-level competition.
Conwell is coming off back-to-back stoppages of previously undefeated opponents Wendy Toussaint (12-1, 5 KO) and Madiyar Ashkeyev (14-1, 7 KO), and hopes to continue his success against the more experienced DeLuca.
Highly-regarded prospect Keyshawn Davis (3-0, 2 KO) is also scheduled to make an appearance on the Lopez-Kambosos PPV, a relatively quick turnaround after his win this past weekend on the Canelo-Saunders undercard.
NEW YORK (January 8, 2021)–In 2020, Split-T Management continued to reign supreme as the top management company in boxing.
With nearly 70 top fighters under contract, the New York based outfit headed by David McWater, continued to produce the best fighters in the sport culminating in the undisputed Lightweight World Champion Teofimo Lopez winning both The Ring Magazine and The Athletic’s 2020 Fighter of the Year award.
While 2020 saw only 13% of the total number of fights it had seen in 2019, Split-T outperformed the industry in featuring its fighters in 40% of the bouts it had participated in the year prior. Split-T Management fighters amassed a record of 44-6-1, winning four world titles and four more regional titles, with fights televised or streamed on all of the major boxing platforms such as ESPN/ESPN+, SHOWTIME, DAZN, NBC Sports and FOX.
