Big-hitting cruiserweight Chavon Davis Stillwell (6-0, 5 KOs) has been tipped to challenge for a world title after signing a five year contract with Bobby Harrison’s BiYu Promotions.

The Houston-based boxing promoter/manager has secured the powerful 25-year-old, as Harrison is confident that Stillwell has significant potential to make his mark in the cruiserweight division.

He will begin his quest next month when he fights for the ABO Cruiserweight title against Nicholas Molina on Juan Manuel Marquez’s Gloves & Glory card at the Bert Ogden Arena in Edinburg on September 6, before headlining Harrison’s next BiYu Brawl event in Houston on October 10.

Stillwell returned to the ring in April this year after more than 18 months in the wilderness having been released by a prominent boxing promotions company, despite winning his first four fights with knockouts.

The Ohio-born fighter, who had an impressive amateur career, was brought to Harrison’s attention via another of his boxers – Michael Chaise Nelson. Stillwell, who has relocated to Houston, is training under Rene Vasquez at Harrison’s BiYu Training Complex.

Stillwell has fought twice for Harrison, securing a unanimous decision in his first fight back at light heavyweight against Georgia-based Michael Nelson at the first BiYu Brawl event in Houston. He followed this up with a first round stoppage in a scheduled 10-round fight against Daniel Gonzalez, in Colombia in July.

The BiYu Promotions CEO Harrison said: “We are extremely excited about working with Chavon and helping him rise through the ranks and ultimately become a world champion as we sincerely believe he has that kind of talent.

“He was a very accomplished amateur fighter with 180 wins from 200 fights and a #1 ranking in Junior Olympics. Chavon was a stellar amateur that made a lot of noise.

“We have had him training in our gym in Houston for several months now and his talent is undeniable. Such is his power and reputation, we are struggling to find sparring partners because he hurts people. This is a good problem to have though.”

Stillwell said: “I’m more than happy with the deal and I am so grateful to have a manager that believes in me to get my career going again. He’s backed me already, bringing me to Houston, sorting my training, a place to stay and also getting me fights.

“I have at least two more fights this year and then it’s all eyes in 2026 which is going to be a big year for sure. I am aiming to make people take notice as I look to climb up those rankings.”
