Shane Mosley talks promoting local MMA shows and training his son for pro debut

Shane Mosley MMA promoter

It seems “Sugar” Shane Mosley has picked up a few extra curricular activities since retiring from the sweet science a few months ago. After suffering his only stoppage defeat to the hands of Australia’s Anthony Mundine and subsequently retiring shortly after, Mosley is now trying his hand at promoting once more.

Mosley whom has always had his promotions company is now putting on local boxing shows with more frequency. But up to this point it was strictly boxing until last weekend when he put together his very first amateur MMA show. We were invited to the event which was held at Mosley’s house with the fights taken place in his huge backyard. It reminded us of a backyard wrestling show, something with a ECW flavor given that there was a German suplex knockout that made the hundreds in attendance gasp. We wanted to yell “ECW!ECW!ECW” but we probably would have had beers thrown at us..which would of been fun.

It was a successfully show for Mosley whom arrived at his own event with Sugar Ray Leonard and our Marcos Villegas spoke to the now turned MMA promoter about his show and training his son, Shane Mosley Jr.
