One of the most decorated boxers to emerge out of Southern California’s Inland Empire, flyweight “Terrible” Terry Washington, also known as “The Dino Dawg,” is poised to make his highly anticipated professional debut on September 21, 2024, at Thunder Studios in Long Beach, CA.
The event is part of CBN Promotions’ upcoming card, which will be televised, showcasing the next generation of boxing talent.
Washington, a nine-time National Champion and 2024 Olympic Trial Champion, who was awarded the “Most Outstanding Boxer” of the Olympic Trials, captured a Gold Medal at the 2024 World Invitational International.
The 20-year-old’s transition to the professional ranks has been eagerly awaited by fans and insiders alike.
“I’m beyond excited to start my professional journey right here in Southern California, where my boxing roots run deep,” said Washington, who will be campaigning in the super flyweight division.
“I plan on bringing the same energy and intensity that got me to this point. When I step into that ring, expect fireworks. I’m here to put on a show and make a statement. This is home, and I can’t wait to show everyone what I’ve been working on.”
Washington’s manager and trainer, Ian Franklin, is confident in his fighter’s abilities. “Terry is the real deal, and anyone who comes to see him fight on September 21 is in for a treat. He’s got the skills, the power, and the drive to go all the way in this sport. This kid has been destined for greatness from day one, it’s his time to shine.”
Washington has big dreams and is grateful to be starting off in the right direction, “Fighting on a CBN Promotions card, especially one that’s televised, is an incredible opportunity,” concluded Washington.
“I’m grateful for the platform to showcase my skills to a wider audience right from the start of my career. My ultimate goal is to become a world champion, and this is the first step. I’m ready to put in the work and do whatever it takes to reach the top.”
“Terrible Terry Washington is a special talent, and we’re excited to have him make his professional debut with us,” said Alex Camponovo, President of CBN Promotions. “His accomplishments speak for themselves, and we believe he’s going to be a name everyone will remember in the sport for years to come.”
