J’hon Ingram will debut in the UK Nov 22nd

American lightweight prospect ‘Hon Ingram is gearing up for his UK debut on Wasserman’s “Back to Business” event in Newcastle, set for Friday, November 22. Known for his speed, skill, and knockout power, Ingram is one of the most promising talents from the United States and is eager to showcase his abilities on British soil.

Ingram, who turned pro in 2022, initially struggled to stay active due to limited opportunities under his former promoter, Floyd Mayweather. Seeking a fresh start, he aligned with a popular YouTube influencer, gaining new exposure and notching two wins since his promotional switch. Now 5-0, Ingram is on a mission to build his momentum and elevate his career to new heights.

In his last bout, Ingram demonstrated his potential with a decisive six-round unanimous decision victory over seasoned fighter Ryan Schwartzberg. The 23-year-old North Carolina native now looks forward to continuing his winning streak in Newcastle, seeing this fight as the perfect stepping stone toward a breakout 2024.

Wasserman Promotions highlighted Ingram’s talent, referring to leaked sparring footage from the Mayweather Gym where ‘Pretty Boy’ Ingram dropped former world champion Rolly Romero—a moment that underscored his raw power and skill. Ingram, who shares boxing roots with his cousin Jalil Hackett, another rising American star, expressed excitement about performing in front of a UK audience for the first time.

Reflecting on this new chapter, Ingram said, “I’ve fought in the States and Japan, but coming to the UK to show fans what I’m all about is an incredible opportunity. I’m ready to make a statement.”

Ingram anticipates that 2024 will be his breakthrough year. “This fight in Newcastle is just the beginning,” he shared. “With Wasserman’s support, I’ll keep building momentum, and I’m excited for the biggest 12 months of my career with Misfits.”

The Newcastle event, headlined by Harlem Eubank’s clash with former French champion Erdogan Nurali, also features local favorite Dan Toward fighting in his hometown for the first time. Fans can expect an action-packed night showcasing both rising stars and established talent.
