It seems to be the catch-22 of prospects... no one wants to fight you because you do not have a name that will help the resume if they win, but how do you build a resume without someone willing to fight you? I am sure they can find scrubs willing to take a paycheck, but sparring is the same as padding your record with overweight Dad Bods taking a dive for drinking cash.

He looked solid in defeat on the golden boy card he was on last year and it was an entertaining .
fight.

Probox should give him a shot and probably would if he & his team actually want a tough match up.

Best of luck to him.

The manager needs to find a local promoter and invest fights in Cato to continue to build Cato resume. If not the manager needs to reach out to to a top promoter and present Cato as a B-side or put Cato in 50/50 fight.

For Cato's resume to continue to grow, the manager must locate a local promoter and invest in matches. If not, the manager must contact a major promoter and offer Cato a 50/50 fight or pitch him as a B-side.
