Split-T Management signs 2016 U.S. Olympian Charles Conwell to a managerial contract PhilBoxing.com Sat, 03 Dec 2016 New York (December 2, 2016) -Split T Management is pleased to announce the signing of 2016 United States Olympian, Charles Conwell to a managerial contract.. Conwell 19 years-old of Cleveland, Ohio competed as a middleweight in the Olympics but will compete in the welterweight division in the professional ranks. "David McWater of Split T Management is known as a man who cares about his fighters, not only inside of the ring, but outside of it as well," said Conwell. "When I talked to a lot of people, they had a lot of nice things to say about him. When I met him and got to know him, he showed me that he cared about me not only as a boxer, but as a person, and that's the one I want handling my career." "Charles is a wonderful person as well as a fighter," said McWater. "He's accomplished so much in his life already! How many kids win National Golden Gloves, US Nationals, Continental Elite Worlds and make honor roll in school all before they graduate high school? Close to none I would guess! He's just an awesome young man and a tremendous talent, I'm very excited to be working for him." Conwell began boxing at the age of 10 when his father brought him to the gym and Charles fell in love with the sport. Charles won a gold medal in the Americas Olympic qualifiers and took the top spot in countless United States Amateur tournaments, which included the National Junior Championships on two occasions, the National Golden Gloves Tournaments and the United Stated Olympic Trials. "After winning my first national tournament (2012 National Junior Olympics), I felt that I could make boxing my career. I went on to become an 11-time national champion." For the past 2 years, Conwell has been the top-ranked middleweight in the United States. In 2015, Conwell was named the USA Boxing Junior Male Athlete of the Year. In the 2016 Olympics, Conwell was ousted by Krishan Vikas of India. Vikas was a 2-time Olympian, who defeated top welterweight contender Errol Spence, Jr. in the 2012 games. "My Olympic experience did not go was planned, but I made the most of it. By fighting internationally, I got to see a lot of different styles of fighters and took some of the good qualities and added it to my style, which will help me become even a better fighter. I am a very smart boxer with fast hands and power. When people see me, they will think of Aaron Pryor, Mike Tyson and Andre Ward all rolled up into one." I plan to become the undisputed world welterweight champion and leave a legacy in boxing. I will be known as one of the all-time greats to come out of Ohio."  |
