Newark native Wanzell Ellison recently finished serving as a chief sparring partner for unbeaten featherweight contender Matt "Sharp Shooter" Remillard in liue of his bout with fellow undefeated rising star Mikey Garcia, which takes place next Saturday in AC.
Remillard, who recently hired Mikey "Red" Skowronski as his trainer, brought Ellison into his training camp at the Passaic Police Athletic League for three weeks.
"The sparring was intense," said Ellison, a former amateur star. "People in the gym were amazed with the sparring and we were both working hard so I could get him ready for his fight."
Ellison reportedly sparred sixty rounds with Remillard and feels that the Connecticut native is ready to shine.
"I am confident that he will win based off of how hard he worked in the gym. People tell me Garcia throws a lot of punches but the way I saw Matt work in the gym I know he'll be ready!"
According to Ellison, his next bout may take place April 2 in AC.
