“We always begin managing fighters with the end in mind and pave the way for them with the best fights, opportunities and challenges. This is so that they can enjoy the moment and focus on what matters now. We understand that as managers we can only take people as far as we ourselves have gone. The experience we both have as former World Champions is unrivalled , this helps us to guide fighters to avoid the pitfalls, wrong turns and to leverage every opportunity fully.
Most boxers only reach 20% of their potential and capacity due to having the wrong people around them and in their corner, we are ready to change that. This is about creating something with high integrity and honesty, for fighters that want their management team to be in the ring with them and International Sports Group ISG are ready.” Founders Joe Calzaghe CBE and Darren Barker
