Undefeated cruiserweight contender, Lateef Kayode (18-0, 14 KOs), who fights under the Gary Shaw Productions promotional banner, will now be campaigning at the Heavyweight division. 

 

“Kayode is a heavy handed puncher who can easily bring his power up to the heavyweight division,” said Gary Shaw. “Right now my matchmaker John Beninati is looking at potential opponents and we are confident Lateef will be successful moving up in weight.”

 

“We made a lot of headway campaigning as a cruiserweight,” said Kayode’s manager Steve Feder. “Considering the fact that we appeared more times on Shobox then any other cruiser in a decade, in a division far more suited for the European market, ultimately our options since the Tarver debacle have diminished.”

 

“The IBO completely ignored our ranking when granting Green a title shot, not allowing Kayode to challenge.  At this point, the heavyweight division which we fought our first nine fights in. seems to be calling.  Lateef is in the gym and feels very strong at his new weight.  We expect to preview back at heavyweight in February.
