The grandson of one of New York City’s most notorious figures will make his professional mixed martial arts debut on Oct. 27.
John Gotti III will appear at CES 46 in Lincoln Falls, RI. Gatti will meet Johnny Adams (0-1) in a welterweight matchup.
The eldest Gotti, one of New York’s most notorious mobsters, was convicted of numerous charges in 1992 and was incarcerated until his death in 2002. Gatti III’s debut will be on what would have been his grandfather’s 77th birthday.
“I chose my pro debut with CES because I know several of the fighters that have fought for them,” said Gotti, a New York-based fighter who has fought in the amateur ranks for three years.
