CLEVELAND — Nothing has come easy for Cleveland native, Charles “Bad News” Conwell. Conwell, 18-0 with 13 knockouts, has found it difficult to breakthrough in the sport of boxing. Lack of TV time and exposure is why Conwell deems himself, “Boxing’s Best Kept Secret.” However, Conwell has set his sights on former WBO champion, Brian Castano, who is fresh off of back-to-back fights with former unified champion Jermell Charlo to elevate his status within the division and the sport. In hopes to garner some mainstream fanfare, Conwell feels like a dominant win over a fighter like Castano could open up eyes and opportunities. Currently ranked #1 by the WBC, Conwell is potentially one phone call away from the opportunity that he has been waiting for. Taking the tough road is nothing new for “Bad News” who continues to use the lack of opportunities as fuel while improving his skillset in the gym.
