Jornimen ( English journeyman , professional boxing , slang. ) - An experienced boxer , a strong professional, always ready to accept the challenge of a much stronger opponent, without worrying about a track record.
Fights with jornimen are, as a rule, an indispensable component of the career of fighters applying for serious achievements in this sport. A battle with such an apprentice lacking stars from the sky in most cases turns for his opponent into an exam on endurance, stamina, the ability to prove his superiority over an opponent who is inferior in class.
Professional boxing knows many examples when strong masters rushing to the heights suffered unexpected defeats from the Jornimen. One of the most famous boxers in this category is Everett Martin , who met with most of the heavyweight elite at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries (from 1989 to 1994 he entered the ring only against strong opponents). Also among the most popular at the end of the XX beginning of the XXI centuries jornimen should be attributed, first of all, the American heavyweights Cedric Fields , Ross Puritty and Demetris King . In the years, one of the most popular jornimen became Zack Page and Robert Hawkins .
