Shark Fights announces management changes.
Larsen resigned shortly after his wife passed away in order to fully dedicate his time to his young daughters, and to establishing the Sheila Larsen Foundation. The entire family is very passionate about the non-profit organization, as it honors Larsen’s wife Sheila, who recently lost her battle with cancer. Once established, the foundation will offer support and financial assistance to cancer patients and their families.
“My decision to resign as President of Shark Fight Promotions was a very difficult one, but it was a decision that I had to make. I could not fully dedicate my time to establishing the Sheila Larsen Foundation if I remained with the company, especially as President. Although I have relinquished my role as President, I will always hold my Shark Fight family close to my heart” states Larsen.
Larsen when on to say, ” The company’s new President, Brent Medley, has worked by my side since day one, and I could not think of a better candidate to fill the position. Brent has a great deal of expertise and experience in the mixed martial arts industry and will continue to build on the company’s tremendous success.”
According to Brent Medley, “Words cannot express how honored I am to be taking on this role. I am looking forward to working hand in hand with Kurt, not only to sustain the company’s current success, but to elevate that success to an even higher level. Jim Larsen was one of the founders of the company and substantially contributed to the company’s success. We wish him the best of luck with his future endeavors.”
In addition to putting on high quality events with impressive fight cards, Shark Fight Promotions takes great pride supporting, and contributing to, local charities throughout Texas. They have partnered with various non-profit organizations, including the Children’s Miracle Network and the Lubbock Food Bank, raising awareness and funds during Shark Fight events.
