John Gotti III books next fight for CES 53

John Gotti III (and his infamous name) are returning to the cage this November.

An aspiring welterweight mixed martial artist — who just so happens to be the grandson of New York mobster John Gotti — Gotti III competes for the third time as a professional when he fights Josh Zuckerman (0-3) at CES 53, Classic Entertainment and Sports officials announced Friday.

In two pro outings, Gotti has recorded a pair of impressive knockouts, including a 32-second blitzing of Eddie Haws in May. He competed as an amateur beginning in September 2014 before turning pro last October.
