Welterweight contender and Minneapolis native Jamal “Shango” James prepares to face 2016 Argentinian Olympian Alberto Palmetta in a 10-round co-main event at The Armory on Saturday, Feb. 25. I hosted a media workout in my hometown on Wednesday, live on Showtime at the event hosted by Premier Boxing Champions.<\/p>\n

Tickets for the event, promoted by TGB Promotions and Warriors Boxing, are on sale now and can be purchased from The Armory (http:\/\/ArmoryMN.com\/) and Ticketmaster.<\/p>\n

James (27-2, 12 KOs) will be in the ring for the first time since 2021 when his seven-game win streak ended against undefeated Rajab Butayev. The 34-year-old returned to the Armory for the fifth time in his career, winning four in a row between April 2018 and July 2019.<\/p>\n

Here’s what James and trainer Sankara Frazier had to say at the Circle of Discipline Gym in Minneapolis on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Jamal James – It’s time. I’ve been wanting this for a long time and I’m very happy to play at home. The most important thing for me is to finish this layoff and enter the ring period.<\/p>\n

“I know a lot of eyes will be on me after my last fight, but I love the pressure and I handle it well. It makes me a better fighter. Instead of saying too much. and will show you on February 25th.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe gym is my home and we are at home. Keep and uplift your spirits.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a great facility here, so there is no excuse not to perform at your best when you step into the ring.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy team keeps me focused during my setbacks. I know I have to stay focused and eventually opportunities come my way. is not necesary to.”<\/p>\n

Sankara Frazier, James’ trainer – “It’s not a bad thing to rest your body. We’ve been working on this since Jamal was a kid. It was an opportunity to focus and practice on the little things, and we believe it’s the little things that really matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fire is always burning in Jamal.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time Jamal James steps into the ring, we are always looking for the best version of him.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
