After becoming the first fighter to be signed to Boots Promotions and previously making his debut in March 2023,  Ismal “The Chef” Muhammad found himself back in the kitchen as the opening fight of the night to the Ennis v Villa fight card in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Entering a super lightweight 4 round bout, Ismail representing the city of Philadelphia faced off against Parker Bruno out of Clear Lake, Texas. Normally boxing matches are known for the majority of the crowd to arrive closer towards the main event. But from the first sound of the ring and when all the lights waved down pointing to the ring, it didn’t take for the ring announcer to announce the names before the crowd made it known who they were for. With fans to their feet and the music drying out, the only sounds heard were none but chants for the Chef.

            When in the kitchen a chef is known to take his time and prep his dish. At the sound of the bell Ismail Muhammad came out the gate looking to collect the data. Initially working off counters. Parker Bruno looked to establish dominance and control the pace of the fight, coming out utilizing his jab with a mix of hooks.  Only having received two straight counters, by his third punch Ismal landed a sweeping left uppercut leaving the room  in aw over his power. Parker Bruno however would walk through what Muhammad gave as he would try and keep Muhammad against the ropes.

            Failing to find any stride or keep Muhammad, contained the fight entered the second round were Ismal started to pick up the pace. Parker Bruno would find himself simply trying to establish a rhythm, however with each jab or 1,2 combo thrown Parker found himself on the receiving end of a lightning 3-4 punch combo from Muhammad. A combination that flew so fast that in the opening seconds of the second round Parker found himself on the canvas. It wouldn’t be long before Parker would be countered hard and dropped again.

            Carrying over into round three, Parker Bruno remained poised to land something on Muhammad. Doing what he can to establish a legitimate offense, at the same time finding himself on the receiving hand of electric counters. While failing to acquire any offense throughout the fight Parker Bruno found himself on the end of relentless hooks that would later be enough for referee Eric Dali to call the fight at 1:45 in round 3.

            Ismail “The Chef” Muhammad has officially picked up his second straight win in 4 months’ time improving his record to 2-0 with 2Kos. Displaying key factors like: speed, patience, and IQ Ismal is on the right track to make himself a name in boxing.

This past Friday on March 24, Bare Knuckle Fight Championship held their first sanctioned card in the state of Virginia. “BKFC 39” is the card where veteran fighter Brian Maxwell lead the charge in the first bout of “BKFC 39” prelims Brian out of Rocky Mount Virginia found himself fighting the very first sanctioned Bare-Knuckle fight in their history right in his own backyard.

          The light heavyweight had a little more pressure on his shoulders when it came to trying to represent his hometown. Now add the desire of looking for your first win and you have yourself a hungry fighter. Brian isn’t a stranger to pressure, nor is he a stranger to pressure. From battling in the octagon, to repping your organization in one of the biggest fight exhibition cards in sports history, Brian has continued to set a bar not many fighters do.

          In an interview with Brian on “Pr1me Point Media,” Brian talked about his image, how he felt he was too nice in a game where nice didn’t exist. That for BKFC 39 and for future fights Brian would have to pull the “cocky arrogant” side of him out. The usually chilled and humble fighter feels that those characteristics played a hinder in his career. He wants to bring some of those darker personality traits back out. He felt that when he had those mentalities in wrestling and early on in his career, he’s had success. Now because of his energy shift Brian feels as if he just started fighting all over again.

          On Friday March 24^th Brian displayed everything he talked about, making quick work of his opponent Daniel Bunyan with a win by way of TKO in the first round. This victory made Brian the first fighter to ever win a sanctioned BKFC bout in his home state of Virginia, thus bringing his first win of what looks to be many more in his BKFC fight career.

          A ruthless attitude mixed with a win streak and the genuine desire to fight; Brian Maxwell looks to reignite the flame in his fight career which leads to a very exciting future to look out for in the upcoming future.
