Los Angeles, CA — Wise Owl Boxing proudly announces the signing of undefeated super welterweight prospect Jahvad McDermott, a towering and highly promising talent out of Los Angeles, California.
Standing at an imposing 6-foot-6, McDermott brings a rare blend of size, athleticism, and power to the super welterweight division. With physical dimensions comparable to reigning world champion Sebastian Fundora, McDermott is expected to create serious problems for opponents throughout the division.
“Jahvad is a force to be reckoned with,” said Mark Habibi, founder of Wise Owl Boxing. “He’s still very young in his boxing career, but his upside is tremendous. His size alone is going to give a lot of fighters in the division a very difficult time, and when you combine that with his power and athleticism, you’re looking at a future star.”
The signing of McDermott is the latest addition to a rapidly expanding Wise Owl Boxing stable, which has quickly established itself as one of the most respected and talent-rich groups in the sport. The roster includes world champions, top contenders, Olympians, and high-pedigree fighters positioned to compete at the highest level.
“We’re building something very special,” Habibi added. “Our stable has been growing rapidly, and we’ve assembled elite fighters across the board—world champions, Olympians, and future world champions. Jahvad fits right into that mix, and we’re excited to have him on board and begin developing him into a superstar.”
While officially listed as 1–0, McDermott has already competed in two professional bouts, with one victory yet to be reflected in official records. Despite being early in his professional journey, he has shown clear signs of his potential, combining natural physical advantages with strong athletic ability and developing ring skills.
With the backing of Wise Owl Boxing and a focused development plan, McDermott is expected to quickly emerge as one of the most intriguing rising fighters in the super welterweight division.
Wise Owl Boxing remains committed to identifying, developing, and elevating elite talent, and the addition of Jahvad McDermott further strengthens its position as a premier force in boxing.
