March 10, 2010
San Francisco, CA – Boxing’s undefeated welterweight sensation, Karim “Hard Hitta” Mayfield (11-0-1, 7 KO’s), is now a free agent after his managerial contract with Jackie Kallen has concluded.
Mayfield, a rising star from San Francisco, is looking to explore his options with other managers.
“I want to thank Jackie Kallen for her guidance and insight while she was managing my career these past three years,” said Mayfield. “I’ve honored my obligations as a fighter and now I feel its time to look at other opportunities. Everyone knows I’ve been tested against several undefeated fighters in their own backyards and came out victorious. I’m a hard worker who’s hungry to get to the top. I’m excited about my next fight scheduled for March 19, 2010 in Reno NV, under the “Let’s Get It On” promotional banner. If given the chance, I feel I have the talent to become a world champion.”
