Was Lost, Now Found: Ellis Back in June
4/12 - Kenny Ellis, 33-6-2, had to dig deep to find out if he would continue his boxing career after losing to Troy Rowland in June of 2004. Ellis took the fight on short notice knowing that he would need to win by knockout because of the ridiculous judging in Michigan.
"I was kind of lost" Ellis said. "I needed to get away. My son was born in February and I fell back in love with life."
Ellis will eventually, most likely by June, be back to 160 pounds. He will be fighting the main event at the Emerald Queen Casino’s Battle at the Boat XXXVII on Saturday, May 14th at 168 pounds.
“We are going to get Kenny back to 160 but it will be a gradual process”, said Ellis’s conditioning coach Grisaffi. “He’ll be stronger and quicker than before because he is doing it the correct way now”.
“Kenny is a world class fighter” Halquist said. “We will get a couple of fights under his belt and then look for a major fight”.
Kenny Ellis dug deep and found the heart of the boxer he truly is.
“Enough talking about this now” Ellis said. “Now I’ll let my gloves do the talking”.
