Brooklyn Salutes Its Hero: Bruce \u201cShu Shu\u201d Carrington with Massive Parade in Brownsville<\/p>\n

The streets of Brooklyn were festooned in celebration to pay an emotional tribute to one of its native sons: Bruce \u201cShu Shu\u201d Carrington. The newly crowned World Boxing Council \u00a0featherweight champion was the star of a historic parade along Sutter Avenue as part of \u201cBruce \u2018Shu Shu\u2019 Carrington Day,\u201d celebrated in the iconic neighborhood of Brownsville where the fighter grew up and took up,boxing.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of fans lined the avenues to cheer for Carrington, 29, who traveled through the neighborhood aboard a parade float while waving to the crowd. The route concluded at an outdoor ring where the champion was welcomed by an elite committee of local boxing legends, including Mike Tyson, Zab Judah, Daniel Jacobs, and Riddick Bowe.<\/p>\n

Visibly moved by the affection of his community and the backing of city icons, Carrington expressed his gratitude while making it clear that his ambitions are only getting started:<\/p>\n

\u201cI loved the parade, and I\u2019m so appreciative of all the love and support that everyone\u2019s giving me. It\u2019s amazing to have so many former great fighters from my city show up and support me. I\u2019m gonna enjoy this moment, but the rest of the champions know I\u2019m coming for them,\u201d the champion told The Ring magazine.<\/p>\n

A Firm Reign and Sights Set on Unification<\/p>\n

Undefeated in the professional ranks with an 18-0 (10 KOs) record, Carrington captured the vacant WBC featherweight title on January 31 in New York by stopping Carlos Castro in the ninth round. Subsequently, on July 4 in Cleveland, he successfully completed the first defense of his crown with a decisive unanimous decision victory over Ren\u00e9 Palacios.<\/p>\n

Currently ranked No. 2 by The Ring magazine, the Brownsville fighter is targeting the division\u2019s biggest names at 126 pounds, including WBA champion Brandon Figueroa and WBO titleholder Rafael \u201cEl Divino\u201d Espinoza of Mexico.<\/p>\n

However, Carrington has one primary objective at the top of his list: a unification battle against IBF titleholder Angelo Leo (26-1, 12 KOs).<\/p>\n

\u201cMe and Angelo Leo makes so much sense; honestly, too much sense. He doesn\u2019t have a fight lined up, and neither do I. So why can\u2019t we unify? That\u2019s the fight that should be happening next. Come on Leo, let\u2019s make it happen,\u201d Carrington emphasized.<\/p>\n

With his sights set on making history in the sport of boxing, the New Yorker left no doubt regarding his ultimate goal in the weight class: to become the first undisputed featherweight champion in the four-belt era.<\/p>\n

Acclaimed by his community and backed by New York\u2019s rich boxing history, Bruce Carrington solidifies his legacy as a brilliant champion in the present with an insatiable desire to determine the future of the division.<\/p>\n
