Feliz Jr. made the leap from the amateur ranks, to the pros back in November of 2021. Fernely made his announcement alongside Danbury Mayor Dean Esposito. Esposito was complimentary of Feliz at that press conference and now it appears Feliz Jr. is returning the favor in a strange video posted to the fighter's Instagram on 7/12/22.
Look, I said "weird" but that is not bad in my opinion. You have to be a bit weird to move the dial, to standout and to make your way in this world. I believe that most successful people are either eccentric, or do not fit any societal mold. Just from the outfit Fernely wore in his video, you can tell the guy marches to the beat of his own drum and carries a lot of swag.
Good on you Fernely for rocking those shoes, and for spreading some positive vibes. @2vulture was also prominent in the Instagram video. I'm not as familiar with him but I gave him a follow on Insta.
P.S. It does disturb me a little that so few people know who is running their city. Now, I was not with Fernely when he shot this video, so I can't say for sure but if the final edit is any indication, there are a lot of Hat City residents that don't even know who their Mayor is.
This makes what Fernely did that much better. Maybe this will awaken an interest for some of these folks, and they'll get to know their local leaders a bit more. For my part, I will contribute to the confusion about the Mayor's name because I will now refer to him as Mayor "Spinosa" until the end of time.
We spoke about the video on the Ethan and Lou Show on Wednesday (7/13/22), you can listen below.
UPDATE: I reached out to Fernely Feliz Jr. to ask him why he did this video, this is the message he left me.
That is wonderful, and kind of what we expected. Fernely is using his platform to educate the youth of Danbury, and that is weird in the best way possible. Way to go Fernely.
