Kay Koroma: The Backbone of GH3 Promotions PhilBoxing.com Fri, 27 Mar 2015 Nutley, NJ(March 26, 2015)-- On March 13, Vito Mielnicki's GH3 Promotions had a stellar night as three of the promotional company's top fighters, undefeated middleweight Antoine Douglas, super middleweight Jerry Odom and undefeated super bantamweight Adam Lopez all scored knockout victories on ShoBox: The New Generation in Westbury, New York. That night was a by-product of lots of hard work put in by Mielnicki and his building stable. One man that made it all possible was Kay Koroma. Koroma is a boxing man from the Washington, D.C. area who Mielnicki credits as being a visionary for his company. "I started my company, GH3 Promotions when I signed Antoine Douglas & John Thompson in Atlantic City. Kay is Antoine's adviser and from that point on we got to talking and setting a plan in motion on how to build a company of great young fighters. Because of our relationship, he helped with us signing Jerry Odom," said Mielnicki. Between Douglas and Thompson, they fought eighteen times in the first year under the GH3 Promotional banner. "I believed in him and we have respect for one another and trusted each other. He is gifted and driven like myself." "Our vision was to build a stable of thoroughbred fighters with great amateur pedigrees" Mielnicki and Koroma are now taking the next step in developing the fighters from prospects to world champions. "Kay is building a camp in Northern Virginia. It will give our fighters a great foundation with housing and all the needs for a fighter to have the best preperation for a fight. This will be a complete camp atmosphere." Besides being Douglas adviser, Koroma is training John Thompson for his April 10 bout with undefeated Stanyslav Skorokhod that will be a semifinal bout in the Boxcino 2015 jr. middleweight tournament in Bethlehem, PA that will be shown on ESPN 2. "Kay doesn't seek the limelight or credit but he has been a great partner with GH3. Because of his vision we are working with top amateurs Shakur Stevenson, Kavon Roberson, Troy Isley and Danny Gonzalez & Hans Perez. These are the next generation and with Kay's help, they will be able to go to camp and hopefully it will give them the best opportunities to become Olympians. Kay is going to be the next top trainer in the business. He is a quiet before the storm. We have deep connections in the amateur ranks all around the country." "We have a top amateur and pro stable and we are getting ready to sign some new top talent and we will be able to feature them on the CBS Sports Network series that we have partnered with Greg Cohen Promotions on. We think we have the outlet like nobody else to showcase our talent and move the fighters at the pace that we have moved Antoine, Jerry and John Thompson. They fight often and it shows in their performances." Mielnicki believes that this is the year that his fighters will go from prospects to contenders and his younger prospects become stars of the future. "2015 will be a big breakout year for us. I want to thank Kay, Dennis Porter and Ronald Simms from the Alexandria, Virginia boxing gym for believing in our young company that is growing at a fast pace." Oscar Bonilla will make his GH3 debut on April 2 in Connecticut; John Thompson returns April 10 in the Boxcino 2015 jr. middleweight tournament on ESPN 2; Adam Lopez returns to the ring on April 17 as part of a CBS Sports Network card and expect Antoine Douglas and Jerry Odom to return in May. GH3 Promotions features undefeated Middleweight Antoine Douglas, Super Middleweight's Jerry Odom & Derrick Webster, undefeated Super Bantamweight Adam Lopez as well as Jr. Middleweight John Thompson, Jr., undefeated Welterweight Jerrell Harris,undefeated Super Bantamweight Qa'id Muhammad, undefeated lightweight Oscar Bonilla and Light Heavyweight Lavarn Harvell to the GH3 Promotions stable.  |
