Chazz “The Gentleman” Witherspoon is ready for a big fight against a top heavyweight, but first, he must get past Mike Marrone On Saturday night, as D & D Promotions and Silver Spoon Promotions will present “Rumble at the Rink II” at the Grundy Arena in Bristol, Pennsylvania.
Witherspoon (34-3, 26 KO’s) of Paulsboro, New Jersey is ready for the former world title challenger and he has taken him as a serious challenge for this Saturday’s main event.
“Training has been good. I am ready to fight on Saturday,” said Witherspoon.
“I know Marrone from the amateurs. We have spoken before at tournaments. He seems like a nice guy, and I know he will come to fight. He won’t lay down and I am expecting a good fight.”
Witherspoon has won four in a row by knockout knows that with another win or two, he will have a big opportunity at one of the top names in the heavyweight division.
“I am waiting for the right opportunity. It has to make sense. I am willing to take stay busy fights and continue to hone my craft. If the opportunity isn’t next, then I will continue to stay busy.”
Witherspoon knows that it will take one big win to become a major player in the suddenly wide-open heavyweight division.
“I think the division is exciting again. Different guys have belts and all roads do not lead to one person. I know I will fit somewhere in there when I get a shot at one of these titles.”
In the meantime, Witherspoon will continue and promote the sport. Along with D & D Promotions, he is the co-promoter of Saturday’s fight.
“We have been trying to get the word out to the area. It’s a good surrounding area with Neshaminy and Bensalem and just over the bridge, you have Burlington, Florence and Willingboro.”
