“It’s been a long time coming!” said Charles Conwell. “I’m happy, and can’t wait to get back in the ring. I want to thank Golden Boy, Oscar De La Hoya and Eric Gomez for the opportunity and for believing in me. Bad News is back!”
“Conwell has it all — power, ring presence and an Olympic pedigree that has him prepared for any kind of pressure he’ll face in the ring,” said Chairman and CEO Oscar De La Hoya. “Now we are going to bring him back the ‘Golden Boy’ way, having him fight often and with tough competition to make sure he’s ready to chase world championship gold.”
