  • Shawn Porter: It Is “Showtime!”
    SHAWN PORTER: IT IS “SHOWTIME!” Shawn Porter is the current IBF Welterweight champion, and he is very aware the boxing community focuses the majority of their attention on the current Ring, WBA, WBC, and WBO Welterweight champions (Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao). “Showtime” Shawn Porter is putting in the work, and biding his time to make sure the world clearly knows - it is Shawn Porter’s time. It is “SHOWTIME!” At an early age, Kenny Porter gave his son the nickname “Showtime.” Kenny Porter got the name from Cleveland fighter Jeffery “Showtime” Stoudemire. Stoudemire left a lasting impression on a young Kenny Porter, who watched as Jeffery Stoudemire played the role of protector, shadow boxed, and willingly showed Kenny Porter boxing moves. Kenny Porter took an interest in boxing, and began going to the gym. His first coach, Clint Martin, was also Jeffery Stoudemire’s coach. Stoudemire would move on to become a National AAU champion and ready himself to turn pro, which allowed Kenny Porter to experience one of the most endearing moments in his young life: “I remember going to the gym and looking at this tall locker. Jeffery was the only person with his name on a locker and it said, “Showtime.” That just stayed with me as a little boy looking up to this big locker and this tall, strong, muscular guy who was a champion. When Shawn turned three or four years old, I started calling him Showtime!” At 24-0-1 (15 KO’s), “Showtime” Shawn Porter is coming off one of the most impressive title defenses in the history of boxing.
