“This show on August 12 is jam-packed with action for boxing fans as they will get an exciting world title clash in addition to some of the area’s top rising talent in tough contests live on SHOWTIME,” said Tom Brown, פּרעזידענט פון טגב פּראָמאָטיאָנס. “Emmanuel Rodriguez is hungry to make a second run as world champion at bantamweight and will be given all he can handle by the red-hot Melvin Lopez. With two of Maryland’s top rising stars in Gary Antuanne Russell and Travon Marshall stepping in for separate bouts before that showdown, this lines up to be a can’t-miss card at MGM National Harbor.”
Fighting out of Manati, פּאָרטאַ ריקאָ, ראַדריגעז(21-2, 13 קאָס) defeated the previously unbeaten Gary Antonio Russell last October by technical decision to put himself back into position to fight for the world title. The 30-year-old originally won the IBF Bantamweight World Title with a unanimous decision victory over Paul Butler in 2018 and successfully defended it against the then-unbeaten Jason Moloney. Rodríguez went on to lose the title to former undisputed champion Naoya Inoue in their May 2019 title bout.
“I’m happy to have this chance to become a world champion again,” said Rodriguez. “We’re gonna go out there to win in spectacular fashion and my goal is to show that I’m the best fighter in the world at 118-pounds. My goal is to become undisputed at bantamweight, however I’m not overlooking Melvin Lopez, because he’s a good fighter and will come to give it his all on August 12.”
The 25-year-old Lopez (29-1, 19 קאָס) has won eight-straight fights since suffering his only career loss in October 2019. Originally from Nicaragua and now fighting out of Miami, Lopez has fought professionally since 2015 and began competing stateside in 2018. Lopez scored three victories in 2022, starting the year with knockouts of Juan Gabriel Medina and Victor Ruiz, before most recently defeating Jobert Alvarez last December. Out of his last 10 וויקטאָריעס, Lopez has ended nine of those inside of the distance.
“I’m very excited that the time is almost here to fight for a world title,"האט לאָפּעז. “We’ve had a great training camp and everyone has sacrificed and worked hard so that we’re at our best on August 12. I’m going to show everyone why I earned this opportunity and repay my team for all of their efforts. I have a lot of respect for Emmanuel, but the best man will have his hand raised when we share the ring.”
Fighting out of his native Capitol Heights, מד., רוססעלל (16-0, 16 קאָס) will carry on the legacy left by his late father Gary Sr. A member of one of the sport’s preeminent fighting families, Russell trains alongside his older brothers, former WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Jr. and bantamweight contender Gary Antonio. The 26-year-old has yet to allow an opponent to make it to the final bell since turning pro in 2017 following his run representing the U.S. at the Rio 2016 זומער אָלימפּיקס. Russell defeated his most accomplished foes to date in 2022, stopping former champion Viktor Postol in February before a TKO win against former two-division champion Rances Barthelemy in July.
“When you’re a student of the game like me, you have to consider that each step we take is about more than self-gratification. We’re doing this for keeps,” said Russell. “Kent Cruz has to catch up to me, but there’s no need for me to look back. The only direction I’m going is forward and that means putting on a spectacular performance on August 12, and proving I’m the next world champion in this division.”
The 30-year-old Cruz (16-0-3, 10 קאָס) steps back into the ring after a pair of draws against fellow unbeaten Enriko Gogokhia in February and then November 2022. A native of St. לוי, מאָ., Cruz defeated veterans Erik Humberto Castillo and Travis Hartman following a draw against Carlos Mohamed Rodriguez in April 2018. Cruz will pick up his past ring history with the Russell family on August 12, looking to avenge an amateur loss to Gary Allan Russell, Gary Antuanne’s older brother.
“I’m very excited for this fight on August 12,” said Cruz. “I’ve been waiting for a fight like this my whole career, so we didn’t hesitate when offered this one. I’m coming in as the underdog and that’s what’s fueling me. I’ve been an underdog my whole life and on August 12 I’m gonna shock the world. When I win this fight, I’ll be in contention to fight for a world title and have my chance to achieve my childhood dream.”
At just 22-years-old, Marshall (8-0, 7 קאָס) has quickly shown the skill, power and poise to become a highly regarded prospect in just eight fights. Born in Landover, מד., and now fighting out of Capitol Heights, מד., Marshall is trained by former contender Andrew Council and has already scored two stoppages in 2023. Most recently he dominated veteran contender Justin DeLoach via third-round knockout in March, his most impressive victory to date.
“I’m really excited to be fighting at home in front of my family, friends and fans on August 12,” said Marshall. “I’m working hard every day in the gym so that when fight night comes I’m 100% and ready to put on a great performance for everyone watching. My goal is to show everyone that I belong on the big stage, and that starts with a victory over Gabriel Maestre.”
A two-time Olympian for his home country of Venezuela, Maestre (5-0-1, 4 קאָס) had an extensive amateur run that included victories over Brian Castano, Carlos Adames, Alexander Besputin, Oscar Molina and Brian Ceballo. The 36-year-old made his U.S. debut with a controversial decision victory over Mykal Fox in August 2021 before fighting fellow unbeaten Taras Shelestyuk to a draw last March. רובֿ לעצטנס, Maestre defeated former two-division champion Devon Alexander after three rounds in April.
“I’m very ready for this fight against Travon Marshall,” said Maestre. “We are focused on the work that we need to put in so that we are victorious on August 12. I’m focused on having my hand raised and putting on a good show. We want to leave a good impression with the fans and move on to fight the big names in the welterweight division.”
QUINCY, מאַסע. (יולי 12, 2023)– Undefeated super middleweight prospect Steve “The Savage” Sumpter (8-0, 7 קאָס) has never turned down a fight. Neither has his next opponent, James “Pitbull” Perkins (12-0-1, 9 קאָס), and that’s why the two undefeated fighters will throw-down August 19טה.

“This fight is one of the best main events Massachusetts has seen this year,” GCP president Chris Traietti commented. “What more can you ask for? Two undefeated guys with knockout power going for it all for a chance to elevate their careers to the next level. The spectators better take their bathroom and concession breaks before this one starts. It could end at any moment!"
More than a belt is at stake, more like Bay State (מאַ) bragging rights for the winner of this potentially “lights-out” fight between these Western (Sumpter, Pittsfield) and Eastern (Perkins, Lynn) מאַסע. rival fighters.
Sumpter, 29, leaped at the opportunity to fight another undefeated fighter because of the upside for his career that an impressive victory will make within New England boxing circles.
“’ll be better known after this fight,” Sumpter said. “I don’t care about my opponent’s record or anything else. This is the type of fight that will establish me as one of the better boxers around. This fight will open up a lot of doors for me, when I come out on top. More people will start taking notice of me and I’ll be getting calls for bigger fights.
“We are both explosive fighters. I don’t think he’s going the full distance. It’ll come down to skills. I’ve seen some things from him I’ll exploit. Nobody studies me better than me. I’m sure he has watched me, too.”
Pittsfield is 100 miles to the west of Worcester, but Sumpter, who is the reigning Massachusetts Light Heavyweight Champion, is confident his fans will travel in force.
“I’ll feel good traveling,” Sumpter added. “This will be the second card I’ve headlined. I have a solid fan-base and it’s growing with each win. און, like I said, he’s not going the distance.”

QUINCY, מאַסע. (יולי 10, 2023)– Like some of his fellow countrymen in the past, undefeated Irish light heavyweight prospects Tommy Hyde (5-0, 3 קאָס) and Thomas “The Kid” O’Toole (7-0, 5 קאָס) have traveled across “the pond” from their native Ireland to Boston in order to enhance their professional boxing careers.
They will both be fighting on the August 11טה (אויגוסט. 12טהrain date) on the “Veterans Stadium Showcase” Pro-Am card, presented by Granite Chin Promotions (גקפּ), at Veterans Memorial Stadium on Quincy (מאַ), a suburb of Boston only 10 miles to the south of the Massachusetts capital.
“This card wouldn’t be complete without some Irish flair to it,” GCP president Chris Traietti said. "מיט וואָס האט געזאגט, I didn’t want just any Irish fighters on the show. I wanted two of the hottest prospects. Working with both guys has been a pleasure. Their teams have been great. Their fan-bases are in for a treat come August 11טה."
They’ve built solid fanbases of Irish natives who now live in the United States, as well as Irish American boxing fans, just like their predecessors from the Emerald Isle, world champion Steve Collins and Mike Tyson-conqueror Kevin McBride.
Although Hyde and O’Toole will be fighting in separate six-round bouts this could be a prelude to a showdown between the Irish light heavyweights. They fought twice as amateurs with each winning one and in the future, they could be matched against each other once again, only this time as professionals.
Tommy Hyde (ל) - (picture credit: Garreth Croke)
The 24-year-old Hyde is a three-time Irish National Champion who had an 80-26 ליבהאָבער רעקאָרד. זיין טאַטע, גערי הידע, is an international matchmaker who has represented numerous world champions.
“I am delighted to be fighting in Boston again,” Hyde said. “It’s like a second home now. I have a lot of family and friends living there and they all show me great support when I’m fighting there. It’s a big boxing city and it’s great to be following in the footsteps of Steve Collins and Kevin McBride who I really admire.
“I fought all over the world as an amateur in 2019. I fought outdoors in a multi-national tournament in Odessa, אוקריינא. It was a really good experience, so I’m really looking forward to fighting outdoors in a Boston stadium.
“This will be the second show we shared since we’ve been pros and it probably won’t be the last. A fight between us could be big down the line in Boston or Ireland. He’s an Irishman like me, so I’ll be supporting him until we fight just like any other Irish boxer.”
Hyde faces an opponent to be determined.
Thomas O’Toole (ר) - (פאָטאָ קרעדיט: Emily Harney / Fightography
O’Toole, 25, is another celebrated Irish amateur boxer who captured top honors in the Haringey Box Cup and Irish Elevate final, in which he decisioned Hyde. “The Kid” won 51 פון 60 amateur matches. Ten Years ago, O’Toole fought outdoors for the first and only time in an amateur show at Boston City Hall, arranged by then- Boston Mayor Marty Walsh.
A southpaw, O’Toole lives in nearby Braintree (מאַ). Six of his seven pro matches have been held in Greater Boston, the lone exception in Manchester, New Hampshire. “The Kid” is moving up one division to fight Massachusetts cruiserweight champion Scott “Scottie Bombs” Lampert (5-8, 4 קאָס) for the vacant United States Boxing Federation (USBF) cruiserweight crown.
“Fighting outdoors does make a difference,” O’Toole commented, “especially if it’s hot and humid. I couldn’t prepare for fighting outdoors here in the summer if I was training in Ireland. We don’t have hot and humid weather there. I’ve been training here in this weather. It’s amazing how the weather can zap your strength. It did have an effect on me when I fought in Boston outdoors as an amateur.
“Tommy and I have gone our separate ways as pros, but our paths may grow down the line. We haven’t seen much of each other when we fought on the same card here. He is coming on very well in the pro ranks. He has a good man behind him in his father, גערי, and I think Tommy can go far. He’s said that a fight between us can easily be made if it makes sense. איך שטימען. We both have big fan bases. This is going to be an amazing, fun night.”

נייַ יארק (מאַרץ 22, 2023)– Multiple world champion Kathy “Wildcat” Collins (14-2-4, 3 קאָס) will become the first female boxer inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (ניסבהאָף).
Collins, of Plainview, is one of a 22-member Class of 2022 being inducted at the 11th NYSBHOF induction dinner, באצאלטע דורך רינג 8, אויףSunday afternoon (12:30-5:30 פּ.ם. און), אַפּריל 30, בייַ רוסאָו ס אויף די בייַ אין האָוואַרד ביטש, ניו יארק.
”It’s a tremendous honor to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame,” said Collins (married name Globuschutz). “This is my fourth induction into Halls of Fame, which is special to me since I also held four world titles. But this is even more special since it is finally here in New York, the Mecca of Boxing, and where it all started for me.
“In 1995, I was part of the first class of women ever allowed to box in the fabled Daily News Golden Gloves. A year later, the first women’s fight televised on the USA Tuesday night boxing series from the Paramount at Madison Square Garden, which culminated in the highest female purses at the time from Madison Square Garden as a co-featured bout on a major pay-per-view for Don King. These were major accomplishments in women’s boxing. It helped paved the way for women today, some coming out of the Olympics, selling out The Garden and working towards equal pay with seven-figure pay days.”
Collins’ second professional fight was a six-round decision over Andrea DeShong in 1996, which brought pro women’s boxing to the famed Madison Square Garden and regular cable television.
אין 1997, Kathy captured the IFBA welterweight title and added the IWBF junior welterweight crown later that same year, דעמאָלט, she dropped down to the lightweight division to successfully challenge for the IWBF championship. Collins became the first fighter to simultaneously own world titles in the WIBF, IFBA, and IWBF.
Kathy Collins is a true pioneer in women’s boxing. איצט, she’ll be honored at home in New York by her induction into the NYSBHOF.
“In 30 יאָרן,” she concluded, “we’ve come a long way baby! It is truly an honor to be recognized by the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame and to be recognized and included in in a tremendously talented, successful class of inductees, and being around so many of my friends and colleagues that helped me break ceilings along the way.”
“Kathy Collins is a great asset for the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame as our first female boxer inductee,” NYSBHOF president Bob Duffy commented. “Her induction into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame is an extension of her career as a pioneer of women’s boxing. We are proud to be inducting her.”

A possible explosive clash looms between two of the highest regarded females in the league, WBA Intercontinental Featherweight Champion and Actress “Money Heist” Jennifer Miranda (8-0) and Danielle Bennet (7-1) representing Atlanta. Another volatile matchup that fans are monitoring is undefeated Devon Young versus Errol Spence sparring partner Adrian Taylor (13-1) פון Dallas.

Coaches play an outsized role in Team Combat League matchups, pre-approved by boxing commissions, which are determined on the fly. Coaches alternate selecting one of three fighters rostered in each respective weight class to send in against an fighter already proposed by the opposing coach. Viewers are left in the dark as to which fighter each team will do battle with one another until the decision is made by coaches in real time. This uncertainty, combined with the fast paced three-minute round in boxing rules format, will provide constant action where spectators will be left on the edge of their seats to see what comes next.
“We are honored to be taking part in the first ever match of the Team Combat League,” coach Arnold of the Attack remarked. “We intend to have the Atlanta Attack ready to live up to its name by coming out as aggressors against the Dallas Enforcers.”
“We do not feel the Enforcers can match up to our grit, determination and talent and expect for that to be on display on Wednesday, March 29.” coach Mustafa Meekins added.“We are excited about finally putting all our training on display for all fans to see,” AC Bryant of the Dallas Enforcers said. “We have a great tradition in Dallas of sports teams that excite the local fan base, and we hope and expect to continue in the tradition of other great Dallas sports teams. Dismantling the Atlanta Attack will be the first step towards establishing a winning tradition in Dallas.”
