(FEB 14) WBAN has received a press
release, that Classic Entertainment & Sports, Inc. (CES)
released world champion Missy Fiorentino from contract.
There announcement read as follows:
CES has released IWBF featherweight champion Missy "The Fury"
Fiorentino from her promotional contract, effective immediately, due
to detrimental behavior at last Friday night's "Hearts Of Fire" show
in Providence, CES president Jimmy Burchfield announced today.
Fiorentino (15-1, 6 KOs) walked Mia St. John to the ring and stood
in her corner before and after the St. John's title fight against
Missy's CES stablemate Jaime Clampitt, who won a 10-round unanimous
decision (100-90, 100-90, 99-91) for the vacant IWBF lightweight
championship, which Fiorentino had relinquished. CES stands
for teamwork, family and togetherness," Burchfield explained his
decision to release Fiorentino. "That's what we are all about and
anyone who isn't cannot be with us, regardless of the fighter's
record and accomplishments. We acknowledged all of our fighters (in
the audience) by introducing them in the ring, in between fights, as
a sign of respect. Nobody could find Missy because she was in Mia's
dressing room, which was the last place anybody from CES would have
thought to look. I couldn't believe she was in the corner of her CES
teammate's opponent. It was a bush league move that I will not
tolerate by her or anybody else on Team CES."
WBAN would like to hear the other
side of this story and hopefully Missy Fiorentino could contact us.
Also anyone else who was at the fight that has any input about this
story. Email WBAN
