Greg Cohen of Greg Cohen Promotions has announced the signing of former WBO junior welterweight champion Kendall “Rated R” Holt to a promotional contract. Holt (28-6, 16 KOs), from Paterson, New Jersey, hasn’t been in the ring in over two years, but is eager to get back in the swing of things and take on the world’s top welterweights. “I’m excited about having another opportunity to fight and become champion again,” said Holt. “I’m super thankful and grateful to Sarah Fina and Greg Cohen for giving me this opportunity.”

Below is an interview we did with Holt two years ago.
