LAS VEGAS (February 12, 2019) - Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions announced today that it has reached an agreement with highly respected announcer Sean Wheelock to handle blow-by-blow responsibilities for all its shows to live stream on UFC FIGHT PASS
?.

The inaugural RJJ Boxing on UFC Fight Pass event was January 26, when "Mighty" Aston Palicte (25-2-1, 21 KOs) knocked out Jose "Chiquiro" Martinez (20-1-2, 13 KOs) in the second round to become the mandatory challenger for WBO Junior Bantamweight World Champion and fellow Filipino, Donnie Nietes.

The Jan. 26th show was the first under a new agreement between Palicte's promoter, RJJ Boxing, and UFC FIGHT PASS?, to live stream up to 72 professional boxing events over the next three years.

When building a brand," RJJ Boxing CEO/Co-Founder Keith Veltre said, "it is extremely important to have crucial people to be a part of that brand. When fans tune in the first impression, they see is the commentator. Adding a veteran like Sean Wheelock adds to the credibility and story-line that Roy Jones Jr Boxing is building. Roy and I feel lucky to add such a great asset as Sean."

Known more for his mixed-martial-arts work, Wheelock has commentated numerous boxing matches during his celebrated career, including the last two years for RJJ Boxing, in addition to shows that aired on ESPN Friday Night Fights, CBS Sports Network and Cancun Boxing.

Wheelock also worked as a pro boxing referee and he currently serves as a member of the Kansas Athletic Commission.

"It's an honor to work for RJJ Boxing Promotions as its blow-by-blow commentator for this new game-changing series on UFC FIGHT PASS," Wheelock commented. "Roy is my all-time favorite fighter and his partner, Keith Veltre, is a rising super-star promoter. This also continues my great relationship with UFC FIGHT PASS. It's an absolute dream gig for me."

In addition to RJJ Boxing, Wheelock also commentates on UFC FIGHT PASS for Karate Combat, Quintet Grappling, World Lethwei Championship and M-1 USA MMA.
