Born in Belleville, New Jersey, U.S.A. in 1982, I have followed the sport of boxing since I was six-years-old. After losing my job in February 2009 due to the economic recession, I created this website to promote the sport. Now, I cover fight cards ringside. I will provide press releases from promoters, previews of upcoming bouts, interviews with various fighters, and recaps of major televised fights.

Boxing Ledger's Top Ten Pound-For-Pound Rankings

As of Sunday, April 14, 2013:

1. Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
2. Bernard Hopkins
3. Sergio Martinez
4. Juan Manuel Marquez
5. Andre Ward
6. Manny Pacquiao
7. Wladimir Klitschko
8. Vitali Klitschko
9. Carl Froch
10. Guillermo Rigondeaux

Pound-For-Pound rankings were established to determine if a fighter, who is paramount in his weight class, is also superior when compared to other fighters atop their own respective weight divisions. How did I formulate these current rankings? It is comprised of careful observation, analysis and evaluation through the years on four specific criteria.

1) Quality of Opposition - What level of competition has each fighter faced?

2) Performance Level - How did the fighter fare against the various styles he encountered?

3) Age - Did the fighter defeat his opponents while they were in the prime of their careers?

4) Significance of a Loss - If a fighter lost, how did he lose? Was it via decision or knockout? Did he sustain a loss at the hands of high-quality competition? Was he at the peak of his career when he suffered a defeat?

DiBella Entertainment Begins Memorial Signing Madness, Inks WBC #2 Ranked Junior Welterweight Ajose “Smokin’ Joe” Olusegun; 3 More Days Of New DBE Acquisitions To Come As We Celebrate The Holiday Weekend

By: Alex Dombroff, Dibella Entertainment

NEW YORK, NY (May 27, 2011) – This Memorial Day weekend, as families across the country gather around the grill, DiBella Entertainment is adding to its own family, announcing four days of new signings that will strengthen a stable that already includes some of the world’s best pugilistic talent. Memorial Signing Madness begins with Ajose “Smokin’ Joe” Olusegun, the WBC #2 ranked junior welterweight.

Olusegun (29-0, 14 KOs), 31, originally from Nigeria, has been plying his trade almost exclusively in the United Kingdom since turning pro in 2001. In 2008 he won the Commonwealth title at junior welterweight with a clear cut decision against Nigel Wright. He defended the belt three times, including winning a rematch over Wright in which he also took home the British Boxing Board of Control British junior welterweight title. During his tenure in the UK, Olusegun also beat well-respected veterans Bradley Price (TKO4), Scott Haywood (TKO7) and Colin Lynes (KO8).

Recently, Olusegun moved to New York City to continue pursuing his boxing dreams. Now ranked #2 in the world by the WBC, Olusegun is looking towards a showdown with once-beaten Frenchman Ali Chebah (35-1, 28 KOs) in a WBC mandated eliminator.

“If you haven’t seen Ajose Olusegun fight yet, fire up Youtube and prepare to be entertained,” said Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment. “He has one of the most crowd pleasing styles in boxing and fights in a division filled with big names. Ajose will prove that he belongs in with those big names.”

Talks are currently underway for Olusegun and Chebah to fight some time this year.
