Jose “Mangu” Peralta Alejo, (6-1, 4 KO’s), of Jersey City, NJ, has signed a promotional agreement with Main Events. In his last fight on October 30, 2010, Jose upset former New York Golden Gloves Champion Christian Martinez who was 4-0 at the time. Mangu is a refreshing addition to the Junior Welterweight division.

“Jose is like a breath of fresh air. He’s not only a likeable guy, he’s got a hunger and enthusiasm that you don’t see too often these days.” said Main Events CEO, Kathy Duva. “It is also such a joy to be teaming up, again, with Pat Lynch and Mikey Red, whom we shared so much success and fun with while working with Arturo Gatti for so many years.”

Jose said, “I am happy to sign with a world class promoter like Main Events. With Pat Lynch as my manager and Mikey Red as my trainer, my team is complete. I feel like I can achieve my goal to become a world champion now.” He added, “I want to thank Main Events for giving me the opportunity to fight on the July 23rd Judah – Khan card.”

Trainer Mikey “Red” Skowronski was ecstatic about the signing, “I could not be happier. I have known the crew from Main Events for such a long time, all the way back to Gatti days. They are one of the few promotional companies in NJ that are actually doing something good for their fighters. He’s in the right hands.” He added, “Right now Mangu is training very hard for the July 23rd fight. No disrespect to Zab, but we’re going to steal the show!”

Mangu’s manager, Pat Lynch expressed, “I am very happy to be working with Main Events again, and I look forward to making another world champion together! From here, with Jose’s talent and the solid team now behind him, we can only go up.”
