“Kermit is a big puncher with knockout power,” said chief trainer Ronnie Shields. “I’ve been with Kermit for his last five fights. He can take you out with either hand. There is a lot of excitement when Kermit gets intothe ring.”

Kermit said “I have loved boxing since I was a little kid. My uncle took me to the gym for the first time. I startedboxing when I was around 19 years old. I had 27 amateur fights and won 23 of those. As a pro, I’ve beenin a lot of big fights.”
