beast-with-shantThe UCA Jr Welterweight Champion Shant Sheklanian, Madera Police Dept. has never shied away from tough competition. April 8, 2017 will be no different. Sheklanian will defend his title against West Virginia’s best BJ Adkins, Raleigh SD. Sheklanian has a resume that justifies the hype. He is an extremely well-rounded boxer-puncher with fight-ending power in both hands. Sheklanian quickly established himself as the best jr welterweight by beating the former undefeated (6-1) Taron Scott, CDCR, CYA. Shant would follow that up by defeating the UCA Jr Welterweight Champion Francisco Flores, Stanislaus SD and taking his title. Sheklanian is once again ready to show why his record is unblemished and he is the best in the nation. Will the champ make it 7 in a row or will Adkins take the belt back to West Virginia?
