Virgin Islander Boxer Deion Pruitt Needed Just One Round To Secure Third Knockout Win

Virgin Island Boxer Deion Pruitt recorded his third professional knockout victory in as many professional fights in the first round on Saturday night during the “All or Nothing 4” T&K Boxing Promotions event in Clearwater, Florida.

In a phone interview with the Consortium, Mr. Pruitt said his opponent, James Horne, was rushing at him and he threw a quick uppercut to Mr. Horne's body, and “he didn't get up from it.” Mr. Pruitt said this happened approximately a minute and 20 seconds into the first round.

When asked how it felt to be 3-0 as a professional fighter, Mr. Pruitt responded, “It’s good. Just waiting for the next one.”

Virgin Islands boxing fans won’t have to wait long to watch Mr. Pruitt get back into the ring, as his next fight will take place on Sept. 18 at the Georgia International Convention Center in College Park, Ga.
