Mexicos Misael Rodriguez, who claimed a bronze medal at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, has signed a promotional agreement with Richard Schaefers Ringstar Sports.Terms of the deal, which was announced Wednesday, were not disclosed.Rodriguezs medal in the middleweight competition was the first for a Mexican boxer since Cristian Bejarano claimed a lightweight bronze medal in the 2000 Sydney Games.After I came back from the Olympics, I knew that it was time to start my professional career, Rodriguez said. I am excited to have signed with Ringstar Sports. I have always appreciated Richard Schaefers approach on developing talent into boxing stars. When the time came, picking my promoter was easy. I knew that this is where I wanted to be.Schaefer, the former chief executive and co-founder of Golden Boy Promotions, left the company 2? years ago after a falling out with co-founder and principal owner Oscar De La Hoya. In June, Schaefer founded Ringstar Sports.Last month, Schaefer signed his first two fighters, 2016 U.S. Olympic lightweight representative Carlos Balderas and his brother, bantamweight Jose Balderas. Now Schaefer has his third fighter and is excited to have signed a crowd-pleaser in the 22-year-old Rodriguez.Hes very exciting, Schaefer said. Hes not as polished or advanced as Carlos Balderas, but he is exciting and he comes to fight, and that is what I like. While I appreciate the sweet science, fans like to see toe-to-toe action, and that is his style.Hes going to be the ultimate entertainer and will follow in the footsteps of some of the great Mexican warriors who go and thrill the fans. We are going to take it slow, but he has that it factor. He knows how to entertain. His personality, his laugh, his smile -- absolutely incredible and that is what really attracted me. Hes a nice, polite, kind young man who loves to entertain fans.Schaefer said Rodriguez likely will fight professionally either in the 160-pound middleweight division or 154-pound junior middleweight division. His pro debut, Schaefer said, probably will take place in February in Los Angeles on the same card on which the Balderas brothers will have their pro debuts.Im thrilled to be adding another promising young potential superstar in Misael Rodriguez to the Ringstar lineup, Schaefer said. This is a young man who has overcome every obstacle thrown his way. He is mentally strong, has great skills and I expect him to have a very long, successful career. Im looking forward to helping Misael and his family achieve their goals, and I hope to make him a household name in the sport.Rodriguez went 104-22 as an amateur and claimed bronze medals at the 2014 La Romana Cup, the Independence Cup and the Pan-American Sports Festival, in addition to a silver medal at the Veracruz Central American and Caribbean games. In 2016 he earned a silver medal at the American Olympic Qualifier. He is anxious to get his pro career going.I look forward to showing the world the passion and heart I have for the sport I love, Rodriguez said.
