The Utsey Boys, Orlando and Justin Utsey, have relocated to Atlanta Georgia . Set to make their pro debuts in the very near future, Orlando and Justin Utsey are leaving their home area in order to concentrate on training and leave behind the distractions of their hometown. They will however still consider Little Rock Arkansas their boxing home, and look to bring some great fights back to their many fans in the Little Rock Area. “We feel like we have a great opportunity in Atlanta .
We need to focus right now and the situation for us in Little Rock is that we’re always around family and friends which is great, but it’s almost like a constant party atmosphere. We appreciate everybody here, but we need to concentrate on the basics right now and that’s getting ready to fight” said Orlando Utsey.
These boxing brothers have put together fantastic amateur careers. The 22 year old Orlando Utsey compiled an impressive 113 wins and 5 loss amateur record winning 4 Arkansas State Golden Glove titles along the way in the 141 and 152 lb. weight classes. Justin Utsey, who is 19 years old, compiled an impressive 58-12 amateur record and picked up 5 Arkansas Silver Glove titles in the 119 and 125 lb. weight classes. Now as they prepare to make their professional debuts there is nothing these talented young gentlemen can’t accomplish “I’m very excited to make my pro debut. This is definitely an opportunity that is going to open up a lot of doors for us” said Justin Utsey.
As if their amateur credentials were not enough to warrant a lot of interest in the Utsey Boys, these guys are very talented and accomplished musicians as well. They are both up and coming rappers known in the music industry as Ferious and Black Ice. Not only are they rapping, but they also write their own lyrics as well “I love to write. I feel like I can express myself better in writing than I can in actual conversation” said Justin Utsey a.k.a. Black Ice. Fans can expect to get some musical entertainment from the Utsey Boys when they fight. According to Orlando Utsey a.k..a. Ferious “we definitely want to use our fights as opportunities to get our music out. We’re planning to have our own music as our entrance songs, and after our fights we’re going to put together some celebration shows for our fans. Utsey Boys shows won’t stop when the fights are over, they’ll continue long into the night.”
Now with a solid team behind them, the Utsey Boys are preparing to start a new wave in the sports and entertainment industry. These two are not only very talented, but they are very intelligent as well. They know the value of being marketable in several different areas, and are definitely looking to be crossover superstars. “We’re going to use our boxing careers to springboard our music careers, and our music careers to springboard our boxing careers” said the very confident Utsey Boys. The rest of this story has yet to be written, but success is definitely in the future here. Ladies and gentlemen move over as the Utsey Boys prepare to take center stage!
