Press Release
Boxing’s hottest light heavyweight prospect Tavoris Cloud of Tallahassee, Florida is currently featured on YouTube.com in his terrific fifth round knockout of Jose Luis Herrera from this past August 24th at Chicago ’s Congress Theater.
The destructive Cloud, 16-0 with 15 knockouts, has quickly built a huge following in the Chicagoland area over the last eighteen months since signing with Dominic Pesoli’s 8 Count Productions.
Although suffering a bad cut from a head butt prior to the devastating knockout of Herrera, Cloud has returned to training at his hometown Fighting Tigers Boxing Club in hopes of fighting again prior to the end of the year.
The 25 year old Cloud is currently ranked #11 in the world by the IBF and #14 by the WBO.
Said Pesoli, “I’m thrilled to put on display to the boxing world what Chicago fight fans have known for a while, that Tavoris Cloud is an outstanding fighter. He’s got world class skills, terrific power in both hands and has a great beard. He’s got everything needed to become a future world champion.
We’ve worked with him now for 18 months and truly feel he’s ready for the next step from prospect to contender. With the fight on YouTube, this gives everyone in boxing, fans, writers, network executives an opportunity to view Tavoris at his best.”
