SALITA PROMOTIONS SIGNS PROMISING AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT SARDIUS SIMMONS PhilBoxing.com Fri, 27 Jun 2025  SIMMONS TO MAKE PROFESSIONAL DEBUT TOMORROW, FRIDAY, JUNE 27 DETROIT (June 26, 2025) – Salita Promotions continues to sign promising prospects, especially focused on American heavyweights. The company’s most recent signing, decorated amateur champion Sardius Simmons of boxing rich Flint, Mich., is the latest. Simmons will make his professional debut on Friday, June 27, at The 2300 Arena in Philadelphia in an event promoted by Marshall Kaufman’s Kings’ Promotions. The Flint native’s extraordinary amateur pedigree across 257 bouts includes two National Golden Gloves titles (2016, 2025), as well as a National PAL championship in 2014. Simmons is a product of the storied Burston Fieldhouse—the gritty community facility where Claressa Shields began her boxing journey. Simmons learned the ropes under Flint legends Jason Crutchfield and Ed Kendall and now works with renowned coach Jessy Addison. In 2017, Simmons stepped away from the ring for four years. The tragic loss of his brother to gun violence reignited his passion and purpose, driving a powerful return to the sport with deeper resolve than ever before. “I’m ready to fight and show the world and myself who I am,” said Simmons. “I almost gave up the sport I love, but my heart and spirit wouldn’t let me.” “An American heavyweight with world-class potential and a real story outside the ring—that’s exactly what boxing needs, and Sardius has both,” said Salita Promotions President Dmitriy Salita. “A multi-time national champion who’s overcome real adversity while building an impressive amateur career, Sardius represents the boxing-rich state of Michigan and now steps into the pros. His debut marks the beginning of what I believe will be a powerful and compelling journey in the heavyweight division.”  |
