Hi I'm Ed Payne;
​
Im 24 yrs old im 6'2" 195lbs and am the current North American Light Heavyweight Champion.
​
I started boxing in Donora Pa at Rimseks Gym when i was 7 and trained with Coach Ryan Rimsek in boxing, kickboxing, and grappling. Coach Rimsek had a huge impact on pushing me to be the best fighter and instilling a drive in me that i still have to this day.
​
I went into the Marine corps right out of Highschool and when got out i picked up my fighting career right where it left off, with my former trainer Dan Kanagie who was one of the most informative trainers I have had. I have also had the Privelage to train with USA RAF (Russian All-Round Fighting) Head coach Michael Marks and Master of Sport and UK RAF Coach Darrin Richardson who is also a descendent of BKB champion Tom Sayer. I am looking forward to my next fight and to help brin BKB into the mainstream of sports.
