Mike “Bad Man” Ohan, Jr. hits road once again to face Bryce Mills

PhilBoxing.com




This Saturday on ESPN2 from Turning Stone Casino in upstate New York

QUINCY, Mass. (October 28, 2024) – Former New England Welterweight Champion Mike “Bad Man” Ohan, Jr. (19-3, 9 KOs) is a throwback fighter who, once again, is hitting the road on this Saturday night (Nov. 2) to fight Bryce Mills (16-1, 5 KOs) on a Top Rank card at Turning Stone Casino in Verona, New York.

Junior welterweight Ohan, Jr. faces Bryce Mills, fighting out of Liverpool (NY) in an eight-round bout on a card to be streamed live on ESPN+.

The 30-year-old Ohan is a throwback fighter who will fight anybody, anyplace at any time. Maybe it’s because he’s a son of a retired boxer, Mike “Bad Man” Ohan (14-6-2, 11 KOs), who was a regular sparring partner for Hall of Famer Marvelous Marvin Hagler during the 1980s.

“It’s the way I am,” road warrior Ohan, Jr. said about his throwback fighter tag. “If the fight makes sense, I’m all in. I know there is money in the sport and that somebody has to make fights. But that’s not my job. I like going on the road to fight better than at home. Ther’s a different type of pressure fighting at home.”

“What more can you say about Mike other than he is a ‘fighter’s fighter’,” Ohan’s promoter Chris Traietti (Granite Chin Promotions) commented. “He is always willing to step up when called and that makes working with him so enjoyable. Some guys want to stay bogged down on the club boxing scene because, deep down, the thought of taking the leap into the big leagues is too much for them and their nerves won’t allow them to do it. Not the case with Mike, though. November 2nd is going to be his night to shine on the national stage, he has all the tools needed.”

Mills, 23, will be fighting in his first scheduled eight-round bout, but he hasn’t fought a quality veteran opponent like Ohan, Jr. He is riding a 10-fight win streak dating back to late 2021.

“He’s an aggressive fighter,” Ohan, Jr. added. “I need to keep him off me. I believe I’m the better boxer. My goal is to win this fight and get bigger and better fights. I love boxing and the competition. It’s like playing high-speed chess. People don’t like the intellectual side of boxing like I do.”
