LAS VEGAS (AP) – Rapper and entrepreneur 50 Cent is taking a swing at promoting boxing in Nevada.
Nevada Athletic Commission executive Keith Kizer said the entertainer and businessman whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III won approval last week for a promoter’s license.
The company is called SMS Promotions.
It’s handling a Dec. 8 bout at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas between Cuban-born Miami-based boxer Yuriorkis Gamboa and an opponent yet to be named.
Messages left with the company in New York City weren’t returned.
