Olympian Shawn Estrada Inks Professional Boxing Management Deal

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (September 3, 2008) – Shawn Estrada, the 2008 U. S. middleweight boxing representative in the just-concluded Olympic Games in Beijing, has agreed to a professional boxing management contract, with Bravo Boxing Management of Los Angeles.

Estrada, 23, of East Los Angeles, has decided to pursue his boxing career as a professional. “It’s time to take it to the next level,” said Estrada.

Bravo Boxing is a newly-formed boxing management partnership headed by Arnulfo Bravo, a former U. S. National amateur flyweight champion, and Los Angeles attorney Eric Scholnick.

Estrada received nationwide media attention during the Olympics, as his father, Juan Estrada, battled liver and kidney disease, which had been expected to take his life six months prior to the start of the Olympics. Juan Estrada was able

to see his son win his opening Olympic bout on television, then passed away the day after Shawn Estrada lost his second-round match to eventual gold medalist James Degale of Great Britain. Shawn used his father’s battle to live to see his son fight in the Olympics as an inspiration, maintaining a small shrine to his father in his Olympic Village dormitory room.

Shawn Estrada fought as an amateur in the 165-lb. (75 kg) weight class, and plans to fight in the middleweight (160 lb.) division as a professional.
