ATTENTION: THE TOWERING INFERNO IS COMING YOUR WAY, LAS VEGAS!

Undefeated 6′ 7″ Middleweight Sebastian Fundora to Face His Toughest Test to Date Against Ohio’s Undefeated Victor Toney

LAS VEGAS (September 22, 2017) – Promoter Sampson Lewkowicz will be keeping an especially close eye on one of the supporting bouts of hisCuba vs. Mexico” termijn van Premier Boxing Champions TOE-tot-teen DINSDAG op Dinsdag, September 26, at the Cannery Hotel & Casino in North Las Vegas.

Appearing in an important six-round test against another undefeated fighter will be 6′ 7″ middleweight prospect SebastianTowering Inferno” Fundora (4-0, 3 KO). With a victory over Youngstown, Ohio’s Victor Toney (5-0, 4 KO), 19-year-old Fundora, from Coachella, Californië, will be enlisted to join Lewkowicz’s formidable promotional stablea fast-track to an eventual world rating and championship challenge.
Televised live on FS1 and Boksen Champions op FOX Deportes (9 p.m. EN/6 p.m. PT), and presented by Sampson Boxing, in association with Pochiro Boxing and the Cannery Hotel & Casino, “Cuba vs. Mexico” will be headlined by a 10-round featherweight main event between undefeated Leduan Barthelemy (13-0, 7 KO) and also undefeated Eduardo Ramirez (20-0-2, 7 KO).
In the other televised bouts, hard-hitting prospect Alejandro Salinas (8-1, 8 KO) matching up against unbeaten Duarn Vue (12-0, 4 KO) in an eight-round super featherweight attraction plus a six-round showdown between unbeaten lightweight prospects Bryan Figueroa (12-0, 5 KO) en Ivan Jimenez (7-0-1, 4 KO).
Tickets, vanaf $30, are available by visiting www.ticketmaster.com, at all Boyd Gaming Showroom Box Offices (Aliante, The Orleans, Gouden kust, Suncoast, Sam’s Town, Cannery & Eastside Cannery), of door te bellen naar 800-745-3000.
Salinas, who has been boxing since age nine and had over 100 amateur gevechten, says his incredible height comes from his father/trainer Freddy Fundora’s Cuban side of the family. His mother is of Mexican descent.
I have cousins in Cuba that are seven feet tall,” said Fundora. “I eat a lot but for some reason, I can’t gain any weight. Could be because I’m always training.
Van nature, Fundora says he boxes from the outside and uses his natural gifts to overwhelm opponents and eventually stop them. He credits his success in the ring to his father, who has been his trainer since the first day. “He’s always been there for me, and he’s the biggest inspiration of my life. He’s the only person I really look up to. He’s my coach and father and best friend; an all-around good guy.
Fundora says he doesn’t know much about opponent Toney, but has worked hard at Coachella Valley Boxing Club to land this big promotional bump with a victory. “Eerst en vooral, I want to thank Sampson Boxing Promotions for giving me the opportunity to showcase my talent that has derived from all the hard work that both my team and I have put in for so long,” continued Fundora. “As ‘Towering Inferno,’ my game plan is out of control and coming your way on Dinsdag, September 26, at the Cannery Casino & Hotel in Las Vegas.
The lost art of professionalism in the boxing industry is something that Promoter Sampson Lewkowicz bases his company on,” said Freddy Fundora. “Those very same values are the core of Fundora Squad and what we are based around.
“Ik heb nog niet gezien hem te vechten,” Said Sampson Lewkowicz. “But with a name like Towering Inferno and that incredible height, I will be watching closely. If he is impressive in victory, I look forward to a long association with Sebastian and his father, Freddy. Op slechts 19 jaar oud, Sebastian has all the physical gifts to become a major force from middleweight all the way to heavyweight with age.
###
Sampson Lewkowicz is proud to announce he will be donating $1 from every ticket sold to his upcoming event in Las Vegas to help victims of the recent Mexico City Earthquake. The donated funds, to be distributed by Mauricio Sulaiman of the World Boxing Council, will be matched X5 by world-renowned philanthropist and Mexican business man Carlos Slim’s Foundation.

Voor onmiddellijke publicatie

PHILADELPHIA – On the brink of his first shot at a world title, super middleweight Jesse Hart commented on his March 18, 2016 fight against Dashon Johnson, which was named the “Philly Fight of the Year”.
That’s what it deserves,” Hart said about his 10-round thriller against Johnson. “I gave blood sweat and tears.
Hart was generally in control in the fight, but had to battle back from the Californian’s aggressive rushes that had him in trouble in round six and on the floor in round ten. Hart climbed to his feet and went on to win the decision after ten exciting rounds. It was a memorable fight on a great night of Philly boxing.
I showed a tremendous amount of heart,” Hart said. “Het was een oorlog. I was prepared to die. I won that fight on heart. I had to dig down to the pit of my souldig down deep to find it, and to get it.
Op October 15th, Hart and Johnson will be honored at the 10th Annual Briscoe Awards for their excellent fight and the page in Philly boxing history that they created together.
Natuurlijk, first on Hart’s mind is his chance to win the WBO super middleweight championship Friday night in Tucson, DE.

‘KO Doctor’ vs. ‘Russian HammerWBSS quarterfinal has fight-of-the-year potential

Dan Rafael, ESPN Senior Writer
When the World Boxing Super Series brackets for the eight-man, single-elimination tournaments in the cruiserweight and super middleweight divisions were unveiled in July, one bout stood out as a potential fight-of-the-year candidate.
It was the cruiserweight quarterfinal bout between world titleholder “De KO Doctor,” yunier Dorticos, en “De Russische Hamer,” Dmitry Kudryashov, a pair of knockout artists with crowd-pleasing styles.
They meet in the first WBSS bout to take place in the United States op zaterdag at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
The fans are going to get an amazing show on [Zaterdag],” said Dorticos 31, a Cuban defector fighting out of Miami. “This is definitely the best fight of the tournament and the best man will win. We’re both going to leave it all in the ring and fight with our hearts until the very end.
I’m working hard and getting ready to take advantage of this opportunity. I have a strong opponent in front of me, but I know what I’m capable of. I’m going to go out there and study him the first few rounds and then break him down. I have to execute my game plan.
Niet Doen. 4 seed Dorticos (21-0, 20 KO) will be making his first defense since being elevated from an interim titleholder. With three other titleholders — Oleksandr Usyk, Murat Gassiev and Mairis Briedisalso taking part in the tournament, the winner will be able to unify the division, which is Dorticosgoal.
It’s an honor for me to be part of such a prestigious tournament,” he said. “This is my opportunity to put myself on top of this sport with the other big names and champions. This is what me and my team have worked so hard to accomplish. I want to fight all of the champions. That is my plan because I see myself as the best fighter in this division and now I can go out there and prove it.
The winner of the tournament will receive the Muhammad Ali Trophy. Dorticos said winning it would mean as much to him as winning the other belts.
I idolized Muhammad Ali just like everyone else in this sport, and to earn the trophy with his name would be something very special for my life and career,” he said.
The unseeded Kudryashov (21-1, 21 KO), 31, van Rusland, has similar goals heading into this fight.
My main motivation is to become world champion and show that I’m the best in the division,” said Kudryashov, who will be fighting outside of Russia for the first time. “I’m the most powerful fighter in this division and everyone will see that on [Zaterdag]. I have a newborn daughter, but I’m still training harder than ever and it has just added to my motivation to go win this tournament.
Fighting for the Muhammad Ali Trophy is huge for me. It is a big responsibility to make sure that I honor his name. This is possibly the biggest prize that boxers can fight for in a tournament that couldn’t be more important.
Kudryashov has won three fights in a row since his only defeat, a second-round knockout to Olanrewaju Durodola. Kudryashov avenged the loss in his last fight, a fifth-round knockout win over Durodola on Juni 3.
Niet Doen. 1 seed Usyk (13-0, 11 KO), van Oekraïne, scored a 10th-round knockout of former titlist Marco Huck in their Sept. 9 quarterfinal, and will face the winner of the fight between world titleholder Mairis Briedis (22-0, 18 KO), de nr. 3 seed from Latvia, and unseeded Mike Perez (22-2-1, 14 KO), a Cuban defector now based in Ireland, in the semifinals in early 2018. Briedis and Perez meet Zeven. 30 at Riga Arena in Riga, Letland.
The Dorticos-Kudryashov winner advances to the semifinals to face the winner of the fight between world titleholder and No. 2 seed Murat Gassiev (24-0, 17 KO), van Rusland, and unseeded mandatory challenger and former titlist Krzysztof Wlodarczyk (53-3-1, 37 KO), Polen, who meet Oktober. 21 bij het Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The finals are due to take place in May.
Zaterdag card will also feature a 10-round cruiserweight fight between tournament alternates Keith Tapia (17-1, 11 KO), 27, van Bronx, New York, and former world title challenger Lateef Kayode (21-1, 16 KO), 34, a Nigeria native fighting out of Los Angeles.
Bovendien, former four-division world titleholder Nonito Donaire, out of action since losing his junior featherweight world title by controversial decision to Jessie Magdaleno nearly a year ago, will return to face Ruben Garcia Hernandez in his first fight since signing with Ringstar Sports promoter Richard Schaefer.
Donaire (37-4, 24 KO), 34, de “Filipino Flashwho lives in Las Vegas, is returning to featherweight, where he once held a world title, to face Garcia Hernandez (22-2-1, 9 KO), 24, van Mexico, in een 10-ronde Bout. A Donaire victory likely will propel him into a much bigger fight in the first part of the 2018.

FNU Combat Sports Show: Canelo/GGG controversy, Featured Guest Eddie Barraco

This episode of the FNU Combat Sports Show features special guest Eddie Barraco. Eddie was a fighter who last connected with us when MySpace was still cool (uitchecken Eddie’s Facebook page Here), and it’s been too long. We cover a wide range of issues and catch up on what he’s been up to as a first class MMA trainer in Las Vegas. Tom, Tony and Rich also discuss the abhorrent judging of Adelaide Byrd, who scored the Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin fight 118-110 in favor of Canelo, who by most accounts lost a close fight at best. Additionally we touch on Ana Julaton’s transition from boxing to MMA, Conor McGregor’s upcoming appearance before congress, and former heavyweight champion boxer Michael Moorer’s new job punching out looters in Florida.

 

Part One and Show Close:

 

Eddie’s Interview:

Prospect Bekend als ‘The Future of Boxing’ Vanavond verschijnen in Philadelphia

Vanavond (September 22), in het SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia, een jonge prospect wordt geroepen “de toekomst van boksen” door enkele belangrijke mensen zal de zwaarste strijd van zijn carrière hebben.

In een van de belangrijkste ondersteunende aanvallen van Hard Hitting Promotions’ (in samenwerking met Greg Cohen Promotions & Devin Haney Promotions) “Fight Night in The Sugarhouse” evenement, WBC Youth World Lightweight Champion en de beste amateur, Devin “De droom” Haney (16-0, 11 KO), zal het opnemen tegen Enrique Tinoco uit Mexico (16-4-3, 12 KO) in een acht-round showcase.

Het evenement wordt aangevoerd door Joey, zwaargewicht uit Philadelphia “De Tank” Dawejko (17-4-4, 10 KO) het opnemen van Demetrius Banks in Detroit (9-1, 4 KO) in een gevecht van acht ronden. Tickets zijn geprijsd bij VIP op de eerste rij: $150, VIP: $100, Eerste rang: $65 en General Admission: $45 en kunnen worden gekocht bij www.hardhittingpromotions.com.

Zo gevorderd in vaardigheden op jonge leeftijd was Haney, een familielid van Mayweather, waar hij prof werd in Mexico bij 16 en, op leeftijd 18, is ongeslagen in 16 gevechten. Hij wordt getraind door de gerespecteerde voormalig wereldkampioen Mike McCallum.

Haney onderscheidt zich ook als de jongste promotor in het boksen, aangezien hij ook Devin Haney Promotions beheert.

Dit is het zwaarste gevecht uit je carrière; heb je tijdens de training iets anders gedaan??

Ik deed hetzelfde als altijd. Dit is wat ik heb voorbereid voor mijn hele leven, dus ik ben altijd klaar.”

Vertel me over het werken met een geweldige vriend als Mike McCallum als je trainer.

Ik heb ongeveer drie gevechten met Mike samengewerkt en het gaat geweldig. Ik heb veel dingen van hem geleerd.

Wat vind je van je tegenstander?, Enrique Tinoco?

Ik zag hem een ​​tijdje terug vechten. Ik heb hem live gezien. Hij ziet er ruig uit en zet wat druk op zijn tegenstander. Hij komt om te vechten, maar ik weet zeker wat ik met hem moet doen. Ik had veel ervaring bij de amateurs en heb veel geweldige profs sparren. Ik ben klaar voor alles wat hij te bieden heeft.

Hoe voelt het als iemand als Floyd Mayweather je de 'toekomst van de sport' noemt??’

Het voelt geweldig. Ik heb hard gewerkt om mensen te laten erkennen in de sport en me te vergelijken met de beste boksers op dit moment. Floyd is als een mentor voor mij. Beide Floyds zijn. Ik wil gewoon hard blijven trainen en iedereen laten zien dat ik echt de toekomst van het boksen ben. Ik voel echter geen enkele druk om elke keer perfect te presteren. Ik geloof niet in druk. Dat zit allemaal in het hoofd. Ik ga daar gewoon naar binnen om mijn vaardigheden te demonstreren.

Vanavond, deuren open 6PM en de eerste aanval is op 7PM. Het Sugarhouse-casino bevindt zich op 1001 N Delaware Avenue in Philadelphia.

BOXING’S HEAVYWEIGHT RESURGENCE CONTINUES ON SHOWTIME®

ANTHONY JOSHUA VS. KUBRAT PULEV HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT TO AIR LIVE ON SHOWTIME

Zaterdag, Oktober 28 FROM CARDIFF, WALES

 

Joshua vs. Pulev Kicks Off First Of Consecutive Saturdays Featuring Heavyweight World Title Fights From SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®

Fotokrediet: Mark Robinson/Matchroom Sport

 

NEW YORK - September 21, 2017 - Showtime Sport® will close out a banner year of world-class boxing with back-to-back Saturdays featuring heavyweight world championship fights live on SHOWTIME. The network announced today coverage of unified heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua’s upcoming WBA and IBF world title defense against top-rated mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev on Zaterdag, Oktober 28 live op Showtime from Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

 

De Oktober 28 SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will be the first of two heavyweight world title fights airing live on SHOWTIME on consecutive Saturdays, with WBC World Champion Deontay Wilder set to defend his title against undefeated contender Luis Ortiz on Zaterdag, November 4. Both main event bouts will air live on SHOWTIME as the network concludes a robust 2017 boxing campaign that will have featured 22 WK-gevechten, 16 bouts matching fellow undefeated fighters, three world title unifications, three world title rematches and the emergence of three bright young stars (Errol Spence Jr., Gervonta Davis and David Benavidez) as they earned their first world titles.

 

With the addition of Joshua vs. Pulev, four of the consensus top-five heavyweights in the world will compete on SHOWTIME in consecutive weeks. Joshua vs. Pulev and Wilder vs. Ortiz will be the ninth and 10th heavyweight world championship bouts to air live on SHOWTIME in the last two years.

 

“There’s so much to be excited about in the sport of boxing, and it all comes to a fever pitch on consecutive Saturdays this fall on SHOWTIME,"Zei Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President en General Manager van SHOWTIME Sports. “This has been a great year for boxing. More specifically, it has been a great year for SHOWTIME boxing. There’s no better way to end it than with two major heavyweight world championship events. We are proud to be in business with the two biggest punchers in the sport, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder, and the rest of the talented and hungry heavyweight challengers of today.”

 

Joshua, the undefeated British superstar (19-0, 19 KO), exploded onto the world stage in April when he defeated heavyweight legend Wladimir Klitschko via a spectacular come-from-behind knockout. In the year’s leading Fight of the Year candidate, a bout that aired live on SHOWTIME, Joshua picked up the vacant WBA heavyweight title to go along with his IBF belt. Nu, Joshua returns to take on the top-ranked IBF challenger in Pulev (25-1, 13 KO) bij de 70,000 seat national stadium in Wales.

 

Joshua, 27, has remarkably knocked out all of his opponents since turning pro shortly after winning gold in the 2012 Olympische Spelen. The Watford, England native won his first title with a second-round KO of defending IBF Heavyweight Champion Charles Martin in April 2016, earning a heavyweight belt in the fewest number of fights in more than 20 jaar. He has since successfully defended the title three times – against Dominic Breazeale in June of 2016, Eric Molina in December and Klitschko in April.

 

Pulev, van Sofia, Bulgarije, will be making his second attempt at winning the IBF world championship, having lost to Klitschko in his first try in November 2014. Daarna, his lone loss, Pulev quickly rebounded and became a two-time European champion with a win over Dereck Chisora. He also holds wins over two former world title foes of Klitschko in Samuel Peter and Kevin Johnson.

 

Joshua vs. Pulev is promoted by Matchroom Sport. Fewer than 200 tickets remain on sale viawww.StubHub.co.uk priced at £300.
