A member of the 2008 Gambian Olympic team, Badou “The Ripper” Jack (15-0-1, 10 KO’s) now fights out of Las Vegas, where he has made a strong impression in the fight capital of the world. The exciting, undefeated up-and-comer boxed a draw in his most recent fight, days before promoter Floyd Mayweather defeated Canelo Alvarez on Sept. 14. Jack continues to grow as a professional, while crediting Mayweather for guiding him to believe in himself and strive to be a champion some day. Mickey Bey (18-1-1, 9 KO’s) was a sensational amateur, a four-time national champion and a member of the 2004 U.S. Olympic team. He was unable to compete in the Olympic Qualifiers or Olympic Games, however, after he became ill with pneumonia after winning the Olympic Box-Offs. After turning pro in April 2005, Bey had high hopes, which were not realized until he recently signed with Mayweather Promotions earlier this year. A terrific boxer-puncher, he was sharp and dominant in his debut as a member of The Money Team last Feb. 2, has provided boxing fans with entertainment in each bout since then and will look to add another ‘W’ to his record on Dec. 6.
