Shawn Hawk Looks for 14th Victory on May 11
Sycuan Ringside Promotions’ undefeated cruiserweight prospect Shawn “The Sioux Warrior” Hawk appears in an eight-round bout May 11 in Lewiston, Idaho.
Hawk, who has a record of 13-0-1 with 11 knockouts, is scheduled to meet Dennis McKinney, a veteran of more than 70 bouts and his most experienced opponent to date.
The 22-year-old Hawk scored six straight knockouts before being handed an unpopular and widely disputed draw against Ed Perry March 16 in Hollywood, Fla. Hawk, originally from Thompson, S.D., and now living in Los Angeles, had an amateur record of 108-12.
The 34-year-old McKinney has a record of 27-43-1 with 13 knockouts. His opponents include current World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Oleg Maskaev and former WBC heavyweight champ Oliver McCall.

“Shawn is an important addition to Sycuan Ringside Promotions,” said Glenn Quiroga, president of Sycuan Ringside Promotions. “Not only is he the first Native American boxer Sycuan Ringside Promotions has signed, he’s, first and foremost, a tremendous prospect.”
“We anticipate Shawn eventually being a force in the light heavyweight and then the cruiserweight divisions,” said Willie Tucker, executive vice president of Sycuan Ringside Promotions.
