PhilBoxing.com Thu, 23 Apr 2015

LAS VEGAS, NV (April 22, 2015) - After trekking a remarkable 500 miles from Las Vegas, Nevada to Phoenix, Arizona, 50-year heavyweight contender (WBC #17), Bronco Billy Wright (47-4, 38 KOs), has a message to send to the boxing community and the heavyweight division.
"I did this 500 mile "Trek for Cures", Run, Walk and Ride to help raise money for charities that are close to my heart," said Bronco Billy Wright. "In addition I wanted to send a message to the heavyweight division, letting everyone rated in the WBC top 15 know that I'm a serious athlete coming for their rankings. My next fight will be announced shortly, and my goal is to take out everyone in my path. I don't think there is a heavyweight out there that can handle my power. I humbly want to thank the WBC Cares and everyone who supported me during this journey.
The trek ended at the Central Boxing Club in downtown Phoenix, where Bronco Billy was greeted by its members, which included undefeated super-lightweight Jose Benavidez Jr. (22-0, 15 KOs) among others.
"The fighters and coaches at the Central Boxing Club were gracious enough to let me end my trek at their gym and it was fantastic." Bronco Billy Wright continued. "There were some local TV cameras there to talk about my story. It was a great success and I'm ready to begin my march toward the heavyweight championship of the world."
Billy currently holds the WBC LATIN AMERICAN, FECARBOX , and United States (USNBC) Silver titles. Right now Bronco Billy is riding a 18-fight knockout streak, 14 of which came by first round KO. With a few more first round knockouts he'll break Shannon Briggs world record. Look for Bronco Billy to make his return to the ring this summer.
