CHICAGO — The road to Kenneth Sims Jr.’s May 13th WBA super lightweight title eliminator fight against Batyr Akhmedov were paved with tribulations. However, the timing for the Chicago native, known as, “Bossman” couldn’t have been better. Sims Jr. is currently on a 6-fight winning streak and hasn’t been on the other side of winning since November of 2018. He’s also knocked out his last two opponents, both in the 5th round. During that 6-fight winning streak stretch, he defeated two previously undefeated fighters as well. “Bossman” credits this recent success for learning on the job how to train like a professional opposed to an amateur. His work will be cut out for him against Akhmedov, but Sims Jr. feels Akhmedov and the world will see the best of him on Saturday night live on Showtime.
