Davies Entertainment has announced that knockout artist James Kirkland (34-2, 30 KO) has signed a two year, six-fight co-promotional deal with Warriors Boxing. After a four year layoff, Kirkland returned to the ring in August of 2019 and has won his first two fights convincingly by way of knockout.
“My only goal has been to get back on top and with this kind of team surrounding me I feel like it’s only a matter of time before it happens,” said Kirkland, who will be in attendance at tonight’s Terrence Crawford fight in New York.
No time. Too late.
Kirkland is a prime example of a fighter who can punch but can’t take one.
Before he served his prison sentence you can argue that his punch resistance was pretty solid. With a trainer like an Wolfe you will endure more than usual
Kirkland is a wild card in the game boxing. He is fun to watch the onslaught of his slugging punches, but often times gets dropped with return fire. Kirkland needs to give it up and re-focus on better things in life.
Hopefully he call Ann Wolfe to train him again that’s when he looked his best
It seemed like Ann Wolfe was the only One who could get the best out of Kirkland.
Agreed Whetto. Truth be told, i would like to see kirkland possibly jumping into a trainer role and helping the young kids before he completely ruins his name taking on more fights
Seems like an old 35. But all the best to him
He was a monster vs lower level opponents. Stepping up again at this stage may be hazardous to his health…
