FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – JacQuan “Daking” Townes, current, reigning, defending WBF heavyweight titleholder is war-ready, as he deploys down a division for a cruiserweight reckoning on January 26, 2019.”

USA /Charlotte NC – (January 03, 2019) – A pugilist turnstile is a daily gateway to the backstories to an elite community, a selective group of individuals who chose to compete in one of the toughest combat sports in the world- “Boxing.”  First off, a congratulatulatory acknowledgement to the current WBF heavyweight Champion Jacquan “Daking” Townes. A professional boxer hailing out of Greenville North Carolina just inside his third semester to his boxing charter.  Townes initial self-motivationing was to box for weight lose accountability, but internally to his driving effort, he shifted gears to the tune of a speed bag, unleashing on a heavy bag, and accepting an appointment to face off in the ring to finally compete mano y mano.  

Townes a retired United States Marine is acclimated to the challenges of combat, his dedication to excel in boxing, has set the state on notice in his crowning championship glory in 2019. His mental strength echoes a different pulse that bleeds over to represent his hard in work to be the best. Now as he competes on a professional level, it has led to Townes bombarding four of his first opponents to an eclipse of consciousness to an early knock out. Townes displays a respectable 6-1 (4 KOs) to his boxing ledger.   Townes spoke in a article cboxinginfo.com a while back about his reflection in becoming a professional boxer,

“When I first came into the gym, it was just to lose weight, basically wanted to find a way for me that was fun for me to lose weight. So at first I walked in the gym I was 323 lbs. Didn’t want to sit around lift weights, run on a treadmill and be bored. So, after a while coach looked at me and asked have I ever fought before, and I said no! He said have you ever thought about it. So he put me in a sparring session which I think I was weighing like 250 then and the rest is history. I love to fight but I never thought about fighting. I just wanted to loose weight, that’s it, now I’m weighing 200 lbs. I didn’t think I was going to be good or anything. I lost 123 lbs just to fight. When I first got into the ring, I was trying to street fight, I was trying to be a brawler, instead of just learning how to be a boxer.  It’s a difference between a boxer and a brawler, I was brawling at first you know. That’s the biggest difference for me from then, to now. At this point, I box and light on my feet, I know how to set punches up, so I came along way, but got a long way to go.  It was a blessing to come where I came from, as he spoke on winning the newcomer of year award in 2017, to then in 2018 “Fighter Of The Year. God and hard work is all I need, nothing special about me, just prayer. I believe in God first, go to church every Sunday, I’ll be the first to tell you.” 

As we shuffle forward to his career now, a lot has changed, especially earning a championship badge to his name in defeating a much more experienced fighter in his last outing November 17, 2018, beneath the umbra of “Vegas Grand Boxing Promotion.” Here we are fresh off the new year, gassing forward to his upcoming fight on January 26th, Townes seem primed for the challenge on the cusp of his cruiserweight bout in Charlotte NC.  The normalcy of the cruiserweight class rumbles much more sanity for Townes competitive boxing residence. Townes is eager for a break out year in 2019, as he gloves up to split the ropes, much lighter, faster and no qualms on the equity of rounds having fought 10 frames in winning the WBF championship his last outing. His final banter in closing,

“In 2019, I plan to go out and make it known that I’m “Fighter Of The Year”, I just have to keep working on my resume, so that it’s known that I have the better resume.  Like I said, I moved up to contend at heavyweight, but cruiserweight, Me all day, but I’m also coming for the light heavyweight championship to. I’ve already earned the WBF Championship as a heavyweight, so my next goal is taken over the cruiserweight division starting January 26, 2019.”
