Philanthropist, entrepreneur, and Friday Night Fades (FNF) founder Kasey Stinson is looking forward to what he hopes will be a redemption moment for heavyweight boxer Kingsley “The Black Lion” Ibeh as the fighter returns to the ring on June 20.
Earlier this year, Ibeh found himself at the center of one of boxing’s most talked-about viral moments during his heavyweight bout against Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Although Ibeh came up short in a closely contested split-decision loss, he created a moment that captured headlines around the world when a powerful punch knocked Miller’s toupee loose during the fight.
The unexpected incident quickly went viral across social media and mainstream sports outlets. Miller ultimately won the fight by split decision, but the hairpiece moment became one of the most memorable highlights of the night. The viral attention even led to Miller making appearances in the media, including a discussion of the incident on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where the unusual moment was replayed and discussed by fans nationwide.
For Stinson, however, the fight represented more than a viral clip. The FNF owner believed Ibeh had an opportunity to secure a major victory and was disappointed to see the decision go the other way. Now, with Ibeh scheduled to face Dante “The Inferno” Stone on June 20 in Phoenix, Arizona, Stinson is optimistic that his fighter can turn the page and deliver a statement performance in a high-stakes heavyweight showdown.
Beyond boxing, Stinson has built a reputation as a businessman and community supporter through his ownership of Coin Academy, a well-known production facility and creative hub that has become home to several popular podcasts and media productions, including the widely recognized 5150 Show.
Coin Academy has also become a destination for content creators, podcasters, musicians, and filmmakers seeking a professional production environment. The facility offers around-the-clock security, engineering services, music studios, podcast production capabilities, and fully equipped spaces designed for content creation. The venue has also served as the home base for many Friday Night Fades boxing events.
Recently, Stinson expanded his creative portfolio with Finding Love for Jaidyn, an extension of the reality television series Real Family Blues. Jaidyn is the mother of rapper Blueface’s children. Several episodes of the spinoff, including the reunion special, were filmed at Coin Academy. The reunion was produced by Karlissa Saffold and brought to audiences through media partner Diviniti Smith, who also served as a co-producer on the project.
As Coin Academy continues to grow, the facility is actively seeking partnerships with streamers, digital creators, and production teams looking for a professional home for podcasts, live streaming, music recording, television projects, and original content.
With Kingsley Ibeh preparing for his next fight and Coin Academy expanding its reach in entertainment and digital media, Kasey Stinson remains focused on building opportunities both inside and outside the ring. June 20 could mark not only a major night for Ibeh’s boxing career but also the next chapter in a growing vision that connects sports, media, and community-driven entrepreneurship.
