Granite Chin Promotions signs Mike O’Han, Jr. & Ryan Kielczweski
Announces “Championship “Road”
Nov. 13 in Hampton, NH
QUINCY, Mass. (October 4, 2021) – Granite Chin Promotions has announced the signings of New England Welterweight Champion Mike “Bad Man” O’Han, Jr. and veteran Ryan “The Polish Prince” Kielczweski, as well as its next event, “Championship Road,” on Saturday night, November 13, at The Rim in Hampton, New Hampshire.
O’Han (13-1, 7 KOs), fighting out of Holbrook (MA), will headline “Championship Road” against his Mexican opponent, Israel “Filipino Tigre” Rojas (14-24, 5 KOs), in O’Han’s first scheduled 10-round bout.
“I have no doubt Granite Chin is turning the corner and is going to be a national player in the boxing world,” Granite Chin Promotions president Chris Traietti commented. “We have a deal worked out with BXNG TV to start live steaming our events and I am signing some of the top guys in the area and getting them on the biggest stages in boxing. This card is an ideal way to end 2021 and set the standards for 2022. I also plan to start running shows again in Massachusetts soon. Big things are in the works!”
The winner of four straight fights since suffering his lone pro loss, O’Han captured the vacant New England crown last November, when he won an 8-round unanimous decision over Ryan Dibartolomeo, and successfully defended it in his last fight in June, when challenger Tyrone Luckey retired after the five rounds.
