CROSSFIRE MEDIA GROUP TO HANDLE
PUBLIC RELATIONS FOR STRIKEFORCE
WELTERWEIGHT TYRON WOODLEY
San Jose, California (USA): Phil Lanides, Owner/Publicist of
Crossfire
Media Group (CMG), today revealed that his company has reached an
agreement
with Strikeforce welterweight star Tyron “T-Wood” Woodley to become
his
public relations representative. The undefeated Woodley has cemented
himself as a star on the rise in Strikeforce’s 170-pound division,
and is
poised to fight for their vacant belt in the near future.
CMG will provide PR and media relations services for “T-Wood,” and
in the
process help continue to build his brand and that of his gym, ATT
Evolution, in St. Louis, Missouri. Lanides will now handle all media
inquests for Woodley.
“Tyron is, without a doubt, right on the cusp of reaching true elite
status
in the welterweight division,” said Lanides. “I’m extremely excited
to join
up with him at this point in his career, as I truly believe that his
skills
are already there. It’s just a matter of building up his brand, and
I am
committed to doing my part to bring that to fruition.”
“I worked with Phil on the launch of my gym, and he did an exemplary
job,”
stated Woodley. “He’s passionate, and working together, I believe
that
we’re going to be able to build each other up even further.”
“T-Wood” is one of the top competitors in Strikeforce’s 170-pound
division.
Making the transition from prospect to legitimate threat in 2011,
the
two-time Division I All-American in wrestling bested both Tarec
Saffidiene
and Paul “Semtex” Daley. He kicked off 2012 with a decision victory
over
Jordan Mein on January 7th in Las Vegas at “Strikeforce: Rockhold
vs.
Jardine.” Now unbeaten at 10-0 with six finishes, the 29 year-old is
in
position to compete for the vacant Strikeforce welterweight belt
next.
In late 2011, Woodley opened up American Top Team Evolution in St.
Louis. A
long-time member of ATT, “T-Wood” is focused on making his new gym
the
preeminent training center in St. Louis. A devoted husband and
father, he
also dreams of one day opening up a non-profit center to help
troubled
children and teens.
Woodley joins the CMG stable of clients, which also includes
Canadian fight
promotion Aggression MMA, former world champion pro wrestler Diamond
Dallas
Page’s workout brand, DDPYOGA, Bay Area-based combat sports
promotion Elite
Combat Sports, top MMA fight team Roufusport, and top combat sports
broadcaster Mauro Ranallo. |
