(DETROIT – January 27, 2026) – Salita Promotions and Wynn Records, in partnership with King’s Promotions, announce the signing of undefeated light heavyweight contender Atif “Lord Pretty Calvo” Oberlton (14-0, 12 KOs), one of boxing’s most dynamic and fast-rising stars. The 27-year-old Philadelphia native will make his promotional debut on Sunday, February 22, on the undercard of Claressa “The GWOAT” Shields vs. Franchón Crews-Dezurn at Little Caesars Arena.

The event is promoted by Salita Promotions in partnership with Wynn Records and co-promoted by 313 Presents, and will stream live on DAZN. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at 313Presents.com and Ticketmaster.com.

Ranked #5 by the WBA and #3 overall in the light heavyweight division, Oberlton brings explosive knockout power with an 85%+ KO rate and a deep amateur pedigree. A highly decorated amateur, he is a two-time National Golden Gloves champion, 2018 Amateur of the Year and 2020 Olympic Trials runner-up. His amateur success, undefeated professional record and finishing ability immediately caught the attention of Salita Promotions President Dmitriy Salita.

“Atif is one of the best fighters in the world today, already rated in the top five and just a few fights away from competing for a world title,” said Salita. “Detroit is the perfect stage to show the world what’s coming.”

“I want to be a superstar. I want to dominate and show the world exactly who I am,” said Oberlton. “I’m willing to move through weight classes, become multi-division undisputed and eventually go all the way up to heavyweight.”

Trained by Pennsylvania Boxing Hall of Fame inductee Tom Yankello, Oberlton is known for a slick, creative style blending rhythm, timing and controlled aggression. “I dance. I’m unconventional. Wavy like water,” Oberlton said. “Power, speed, IQ — it’s all there.”

Salita emphasized the long-term vision behind the signing, highlighting the collaborative effort with King’s Promotions and Wynn Records to build Oberlton into a global star both inside and outside the ring.

“On February 22, he’s not just stepping into the ring — he’s making a statement,” said Marshall Kauffman of King’s Promotions.

Oberlton expressed excitement about competing on the undercard of Claressa Shields, calling the opportunity “an honor” and praising the impact of women’s boxing. “This isn’t just a fight — it’s going to be a dog fight,” he said.

As for what fans can expect on fight night, Oberlton promised a show. “The Lord Pretty Calvo experience — entertaining from start to finish. Pure skill, real aura and a glimpse of what’s coming next.”
