Jamal “Shango” James previews his Feb. 25 fight at The Armory

Minnesota Fight Night

The Minnesota Fight Night podcast debuted in 2020 with special guest Jamal “Shango” James. Fittingly, as we kick off our fourth season, Minneapolis boxer James (27-2, 12 KOs) is back to talk about his Feb. 25 Showtime-televised fight at The Armory in Minneapolis. James, a former WBA welterweight champion, returns to the ring after a 16-month layoff. His opponent, a 2016 Olympic boxer, is Alberto Palmetta of Argentina. This episode features audio from a Jan. 25 media event at the Circle of Discipline, James’ home gym, and a one-on-two interview with James and his sparring partner, Slink Proper, an up-and-coming pro boxer in his own right. Trainer Sankara Frazier also joins the conversation. Armory boxing publicist Robb Leer does the honors with the opening round of questions. Intro music: “Ali Shuffle,” by the Toler/Townsend Band.
