Aleem in action on Warfare Sports Inaugural Broadcast
Undefeated super bantamweight prospect, Raeese “the Beast” Aleem (13-0, 7 KOs), who is managed by Greg Hannley of Prince Ranch Boxing, returns to the ring this Friday, May 10, 2019, at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, PA. Aleem will battle Ramiro Robles (15-8-2, 9 KOs) in an 8-round bout promoted by Marshall Kauffman’s King’s Promotions. The fights can be seen live on the WarFare Sports website at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p/m. PT.
The inaugural broadcast will be called by International Boxing Hall of Famer Al Bernstein and Marc Abrams.
Aleem, who is trained by the former two-time world champion, Bones Adams and veteran trainer Brandon Woods, is well equipped going into this fight. After his last fight fell through, Aleem, who has been training at the Prince Ranch Boxing facility in Las Vegas, feels he’s more than ready for this fight.
“I’ve been grinding hard in the gym for a fight that fell through last month, so I’m in great shape going into this fight,” said Aleem in a press release. “Robles is a tough fighter from Mexico that I know will be coming forward. This is the type of fight that I feel will be crowd pleasing to those watching. I consider myself a volume boxer-puncher who is always throwing a lot of blows. You’ll never see me in a boring fight, and I plan on letting my hands go this Friday against Robles.”
“Raeese Aleem is an incredibly talented fighter with a tremendous amount of upside,” said manager Greg Hannley, of Prince Ranch Boxing in a press release. “He’s working his way up the rankings with solid wins against good fighters. Marshall is doing a great job promoting Raeese and I can see him fighting for a regional title by the end of the year.”
“I’ve been working with Raeese for about a year now and he’s one of the hardest working fighters I have in the gym,” stated lead trainer Bones Adams to the media. “Not only does he work hard, he can fight as well. He’s got the talent and work ethic to become a world champion if he continues on this path.”
