Fighting in separate four-round bouts on the card will be Shemuel “The Chosen One” Pagan and Christopher “Golden” Galeano, both of whom are co-promoted by DBE and 50 Cent’s SMS Promotions and have their bouts on Nov. 9th 2013 at the Aviator Arena, Brooklyn NY.
“This is the beginning of a new force in the sport of boxing. With Mr. DiBella’s expertise in this great sport and 50 Cent’s knowledge of building an empire from the bottom, the sky is the limit. My team and I have great confidence in that by joining this promotional alliance I will, without a doubt, one day be a world champion,” proclaimed Galeano.
“Chris Galeano is one of the best prospects in the United States and I am thrilled to be co-promoting him with 50 Cent’s SMS Promotions. Chris is a skilled boxer, a puncher, a college student and a great person. He comes from a great family and has all the tools to become a world champion,” said DiBella.
“Chris has endless potential. He’s proven his skills in the ring. I look forward to giving him a platform to continue to compete at the highest level,” said 50 Cent.
Galeano, a 20-year-old Puerto Rican American, first started boxing at the age of 12. After a successful stint in the juniors, having reached the 2008 Junior Olympic National Championships, Galeano picked up his first major title as a senior amateur, winning the Ringside World Championships in 2010. In 2011, he won his first New York Golden Gloves title. He reached the finals in 2012, losing to fellow DBE-promoted prospect Patrick Day, before winning the coveted title again in 2013. Galeano closed out his amateur career by winning the 2013 165-pound USA National Championship, which propelled him to his #1-ranking.
In addition to making his pro debut this year, Galeano will be entering his third year of college at City College of NY, where he is pursuing a degree in Business.
