Boxing prospect says he faked injury to fight for more money on nixed Triller card

Rising junior middleweight boxing contender Charles Conwell (15-0, 11 KOs) has alleged that his manager had him fake an injury so that he could fight on another card for double the purse, only for that show to be postponed.

Well now that you’re thoroughly confused, let’s back up a bit. Conwell was supposed to headline a Ring City USA show on NBCSN back in April against Ivan Golub. He withdrew from the event due to a “hand injury” and that entire event was cancelled. Conwell was re-booked against Mark DeLuca on the undercard of Teofimo Lopez vs. George Kambosos in June, but Lopez’s COVID-19 positive test scrapped that show.
