CAGE WARRIORS STAR PADDY PIMBLETT TO DEFEND TITLE AGAINST NAD NARIMANI AT CW82

View this email in your browser
PER IL RILASCIO IMMEDIATO
Martedì, 7 febbraio, 2017

Hugely popular Liverpudlian star will put his Cage Warriors featherweight world title on the line in the main event at the Echo Arena in Liverpool on April 1.

The fighting pride of Liverpool Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett will make his eagerly-awaited return to action in the main event at Cage Warriors 82.

Defending CW featherweight world champion Pimblett will take on fellow Brit Nad Narimani as he bids to further cement his position as one of the UK’s fastest-rising MMA stars.

Pimblett captured Cage Warriors gold when he knocked out French veteran Johnny Frachey for the vacant title at CW 78 in Liverpool last September.

He followed up his title win with a successful defence of his belt, edging out The Ultimate Fighter semi-finalist Julian Erosa at Cage Warriors Unplugged at the BT Sport studios last November.

Aged just 22, Pimblett returns to his stomping ground at the Echo Arena looking to continue his remarkable rise as one of the MMA world’s hottest young prospects.

He’ll face a stern test against Narimani, who enters the bout with a 9-2 pro record and took the previous Cage Warriors featherweight champ Alex Enlund all the way to the scorecards in a closely-contested battle at Cage Warriors 73, with just one point separating the two after five hard-fought rounds.

Narimani comes into the bout with Pimblett riding a two-fight win streak, with victories over Jeremy Petley (first-round KO) and Daniel Requeijo (third-round submission) setting up his April 1 clash with ‘The Baddy’.

Speaking ahead of his hometown return, Pimblett said: “I won the title in Liverpool, so there’s absolutely no way I’m going to lose it here.”

“This is my city, my arena and my title. Expect another huge partyand another huge winwhen I come back home to defend my belt.”

Cage Warriors President Graham Boylan said: “Paddy’s the hottest prospect in the sport on this side of the pond and the prospect of seeing him defending his featherweight world title in front of his hometown fans is a mouth-watering prospect for MMA fans.

“Nad will take him to the limit, just as he did with our previous featherweight champ Alex Enlund, so expect a tough test and a great matchup.”

Tickets for Cage Warriors 82 are available from the Echo Arena, from just £25: bit.ly/CW82tkts

Ivan Baranchyk: Un improbabile viaggio dalla Bielorussia a Miami, Oklahoma

Per diffusione immediata
Miami, OK (Febbraio 7, 2017) - Quando il potente welter junior Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk entrò per la prima volta in una palestra di boxe all'età 12 nella sua nativa Bielorussia, ha imparato rapidamente perché la boxe è conosciuta come lo sport più solitario.
"L'uomo che gestiva la palestra in cui sono andato avrebbe dovuto essere l'allenatore, ma aveva un problema con l'alcol,"Baranchyk ha ricordato. “Invece di insegnarci lo sport della boxe, ha appena aperto la porta della palestra ogni giorno e ci ha lasciato senza una guida costante. "
Baranchyk ha imparato gran parte della dolce scienza da solo e non ha avuto un allenatore stabile per tutta la sua carriera amatoriale. Sorprendentemente, ha vinto il 2009 Campionati del mondo juniores e ha sconfitto la futura due volte medaglia d'oro olimpica Robeisy Ramirez di Cuba nel processo. Dopo aver continuato a eccellere come dilettante, la voce si è sparsa rapidamente sulla sega circolare bielorussa.
Ha ricevuto offerte da promotori di tutto il mondo per diventare professionista ed ha scelto di firmare con Fight Promotions Inc. Baranchyk si è trasferito a Brooklyn, NY dopo essere diventato professionista a giugno 2014. Nove vittorie dopo, è stato abbinato al compagno imbattuto Nicholas Givhan del Michigan su ShoBox: La nuova generazione al Buffalo Run Casino di Miami, OK. Un newyorkese trapiantato che ha combattuto la maggior parte dei suoi attacchi professionali a quel punto nella Grande Mela, Baranchyk non aveva mai sentito parlare dell'Oklahoma e non era sicuro di come sarebbe stato l'ambiente.
Su carta, l'incontro è stato visto come un disastro e Givhan ha avuto più esperienza professionale. Entrambi i combattenti non erano noti alla gente del posto, ma ci è voluto meno di mezzo minuto per cambiarlo. Solo 21 secondi dopo il campanello di apertura, Baranchyk ha appiattito Givhan con un sinistro sinistro che è stato uno dei migliori knockout del 2016. La sola folla in piedi al Buffalo Run era sbalordita e voleva vederlo combattere di nuovo lì.
Tre mesi dopo, Baranchyk ha esaudito il loro desiderio quando ha fatto la sua seconda apparizione consecutiva allo ShoBox, smontando in tre turni Eliseo Cruz Sesma precedentemente imbattuto. L'agente Baranchyk ha tenuto in piedi la folla per tutta la durata della gara intonando “Bestia, Bestia, Bestia ”fino all'interruzione.
Poco dopo, Baranchyk ha firmato con Tony Holden Productions, che promuove Baranchyk insieme a DiBella Entertainment e alla già citata Fight Promotions Inc. Da allora ha vinto altri due incontri al Buffalo Run, elevando il suo record professionale a 13-0 con 10 knockout durante l'acquisizione dei titoli USBA e WBC USNBC nel processo.
"Mi sento molto a mio agio con i fan là fuori,"Ha detto Baranchyk. "Ho sentito immediatamente l'energia alla Buffalo Run e sono grato che i fan mi abbiano sostenuto così tanto".
Holden promuove combattimenti da più di due decenni e ha avuto molte attrazioni di folla, in particolare gli ex campioni Tommy Morrison e Johnny Tapia. Pensava di aver visto tutto. Questo fino a quando un combattente con un background molto diverso dalla maggior parte dei suoi fan è diventato un figlio adottivo nel 14,000 persona città di Miami, OK.
"È davvero speciale per i fan del Buffalo Run Casino e per i residenti di Miami al punto che lo hanno adottato come se fosse un locale per tutta la vita,Holden ha detto di Baranchyk, che è un membro del franchise Four State di Holden Productions. “Il suo stile è divertente e tutti gli appassionati di boxe amano i combattenti d'azione. È incredibile perché quando Ivan ha combattuto qui per la prima volta a marzo 2016 era praticamente sconosciuto e ora è un combattente domestico. "
Baranchyk avrà un compito difficile quando affronterà Abel Ramos dell'Arizona alla Buffalo Run Venerdì Febbraio, 10 nell'evento principale di dieci round di un tripleheader ShoBox. Ramos, 17-1-2 (12 KO), ha più vittorie su combattenti imbattuti tra cui un quinto round di interruzione 13-0 Dario Ferman lo scorso maggio. Ha affrontato un'opposizione di qualità e dovrebbe essere il più grande test di Baranchyk fino ad oggi.
Per assicurarti che sia al meglio, l'IBF #7 Baranchyk si è allenato a Los Angeles al Wildcard Boxing Club insieme al nuovo allenatore Edward Kravtsov. Con un solido campo di addestramento nei libri, Baranchyk è pronto a fornire una prestazione solida Venerdì sera.
"Questo è stato un grande campo e Wildcard è un ambiente fantastico. Era qualcosa di cui avevo bisogno per prepararmi per un buon avversario duro in Abel Ramos. Sono completamente pronto per intrattenere i miei fan al Buffalo Run Casino. Se tutto va come previsto e ne esco vittorioso, Mi fido della mia squadra per portarmi al livello successivo.”
Lo ShoBox tripleheader va in onda alle 10:05 pm ET ei biglietti sono disponibili presso la Buffalo Run Box Office o andando astubwire.com/event/shoboxthenewgeneration /buffaloruncasino / miami / 14075.

TWO-TIME OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST CLARESSA SHIELDS TO MAKE PROFESSIONAL TELEVISION DEBUT FRIDAY, MARZO 10 Su ShoBox: LA NUOVA GENERAZIONE

ORARIO DELLO SPETTACOLO

® To Present Premium Television’s First Women’s Boxing Main Event As Shields Takes on Former World Title Challenger Szilvia Szabados
In diretta su Showtime® From MGM Grand Detroit
NEW YORK (Febbraio. 7, 2017) – Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Claressa Shields will make her professional television debut on ShoBox: La nuova generazione, a series that has sparked the careers of 67 future world champions, su Venerdì, Marzo 10, in diretta su Showtime (10 p.m. E/PT) da MGM Grand Detroit Event Center a Detroit, Michigan.
Shields (1-0) is facing Hungary’s SzilviaSunsetSzabados (15-8, 6 KO), un ex sfidante titolo mondiale, in the first women’s boxing match to headline on premium television. The fight will take place down the road from Shield’s hometown of Flint, me.
Shields is the most accomplished amateur boxer in U.S. storia – maschio o femmina – and the only American boxer to capture back-to-back gold medals at the Olympic Games.
It is a dream come true to be the first woman to headline a boxing card on premium television,” , ha detto Shields. “Marzo 10 will be a historic night for boxing and all of the women who give so much to advance our sport. I am proud to be fighting for the NABF title in my second pro bout. I want to thank SHOWTIME, MGM Grand Detroit and Salita Promotions for this opportunity, and I will do everything to give my home state fans and the viewers a night to remember.
Szabados said, “Fighters always say their next fight is the most important one of their career, but you get an opportunity like this, and it really is. This is an unbelievable dream. I am very happy to be receiving this opportunity. I know this fight is important for Claressa also, and I don’t really know what will happen in the ring. Entrambi vogliamo vincere. Claressa has more amateur experience, but I have more experience as a professional. It’s going to be an exciting night.
I biglietti per l'evento promosso da Promozioni Salita in vendita Venerdì, Febbraio. 10 a 10 a.m. est e sono al prezzo di $250, $150, $100 e $50. They will be available at www.ticketmaster.com.
Promoter Dmitriy Salita said, “I am honored to be putting on this event at the fantastic MGM Grand Detroit, featuring American hero Claressa Shields on ShoBox: La nuova generazione. Detroit is America’s greatest comeback city and I am thrilled that she has chosen MGM Grand Detroit as the site to fight for her first professional title on Marzo 10. Although it is just her second professional fight, Claressa has chosen a former world title challenger for her opponent, a tough Hungarian named Szilvia Szabados, a woman who knows what’s at stake if she can win that night. We’ve got a terrific card from top to bottom in support of this fantastic main event as well, featuring some of Detroit’s brightest up-and-coming prospects, as well as some national and international flavor. Detroit deserves to have world-class events such as this and I’m very proud to be able to bring it here.
Shields won her first Olympic Gold when she was 17 years old in the inaugural women’s boxing competition at the London Games in 2012. She defended her title at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, becoming the only American boxer to defend amateur sportspremier championship.
The 21-year-old Shields cruised to a 77-1 amateur record before turning professional last November, winning her first bout via unanimous decision on a non-televised undercard in Las Vegas. She now returns home as a headliner to take on the veteran Szabados in a six-round middleweight bout.
ShoBox analista esperto Steve Farhood: “Women’s boxing in America has its best chance of revival because of the emergence of Claressa Shields. Women’s boxing is pretty big in certain countries, but it really hasn’t been a factor in the United States since Laila Ali e, before her, Christy Martin. Being the only U.S. boxer to win two gold medals, Claressa has instant credibility and star appeal and those two things are going to lead to wide exposure.
She has a great back story, she’s an exciting fighter to watch and she’s instantly likeable.
In poche parole, Shields found solace in boxing to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges in her childhood. She’s become a vocal advocate for many social causes, including the ongoing water crisis in her hometown of Flint, women’s rights, and campaigning against sexual assault. An inspirational figure and motivational speaker, Shields represents a beacon of hope for a working-class city that struggles with violence, poverty, and everyday essentials.
In taking on a former world title challenger and fighting for the NABF middleweight championship in only her second fight, Shields continues to make immediate strides as a professional like fellow Flint native Floyd Mayweather, who won his first world title when he was 21.
Szabados challenged for a world title in July 2015 in her ninth professional fight, losing a decision to undefeated WBC Super Middleweight Champion Nikki Adler in Germania. The native of Miskolc, Hungary has faced two former world champions, Mikaela Lauren e Noni Tenge, and has won via knockout in three of her last five victories.
In her U.S. debutto, Szabados lost a 10-round decision to then-undefeated prospect Alicia Napoleon a gennaio 29, 2016, in Queens, N.Y.. The 26-year-old has remained active since turning professional in 2014. She fought eight fights in 2016, and already has a win in 2017 via fifth round KO over Diana Marcz in January in Budapest, Ungheria.

Granados has pledged to dedicate the fight to his friend and former training partner Ed Brown, who fell victim to the violence on Chicago’s West Side in December 2016.
Here is what Granados, along with his trainer George Hernandez, aveva da dire Martedì:
ADRIAN GRANADOS
We finally have a huge opportunity. I feel I paid my dues. I know Amir Imam wasn’t a fluke. And the robberies on my record were just thatrobberies. You get in the ring with Adrian Granados and you’re going to get a hell of a fight.

I wasn’t intimated by Broner when we sparred and I’m not intimidated by him now. I know I belong in this fight, at this level.

It’s a tough fight. People are saying I’m going to have to fight like Marcos Maidana. But I’m going to be Adrian Granados and I’m going to win my way.

With our two styles it’s going to be a firefight. It can’t be anything but exciting. I have a great team behind me and I can’t wait to make everyone proud.

Ed Brown was the heart of this neighborhood, and now I need to carry on his legacy. This is my opportunity to do something for my career, but also this community. I have to be twice as great, for me and him.

Winning this fight not only changes my life, but it changes a lot of other lives. Beating Broner would change the sport in Chicago.

It’s very motivating to know that I’m an inspirational figure for people in Chicago. It helps me get through those long days in the gym, when you don’t want to get up and train. I know what I’m fighting for and I use it as motivation.
I started fighting in high school just shadowing my friends when they went to the gym. I asked my mom and dad if I could keep going and luckily they helped me get started and get on this path to where I am.
GEORGE HERNANDEZ, Granados’ Allenatore
Broner puts his gloves on the same way we do. This is what we want. We want the big names. Beating Broner can get us to the next level.

No one is going to give us anything. We need to earn it. We’re going to his backyard and we’re going to take it from him.

This is one of the toughest areas to train in. If you can persevere through that you know you can make it in this sport. We could have gone away for camp but we wanted to stay here because it’s home. The only way to make this city better is by staying here and leading the charge and showing these kids that we can get away from that norm and bring better attention to this area.

If Adrian can beat the hell out of this kid in his hometown that will send a message to all the kids in this community. It will let them know that you can succeed and do great things. Every kid that’s in here dreams of this opportunity. We’re ready and we’re not going to let it slip away.

Here is what Peterson and his longtime trainer Barry Hunter aveva da dire Martedì from the Bald Eagle Recreation Center:
Lamont Peterson
I’m going through a full-blown training camp and I’ve had a lot of energy. I think the strength will be there too but I’m an energy fighter. I like to put pressure and use my energy. Look for an improved Lamont Peterson.
People are going to talk a lot about my layoff but honestly that only affects people who aren’t always in the gym. I have been in the gym working hard this entire time. I’ve been working on my craft. I got better and you’ll see on Febbraio 18.
Avanesyan is a good fighter. He keeps his hands up high, so even though he’s there to be hit, it doesn’t mean I’m going to get good clean shots. It should be a good entertaining fight and a good first step at welterweight for me.
Big fights are what matters to me. When you’re coming up it’s all about winning a title. Having fought for 12 anni, it doesn’t matter to me as much. The way I’m looking at is, if I get this win then I’m the No. 1 contender for the belt.
I have no concern about ring rust. It’s not even a thought in my head. I would be shocked if that was a problem for me.
You never know what the right time is to move up in weight, but the time is now for me to move up to welterweight and I’m happy about it. Making 140 pounds was getting tough. I think it hampered my performances a bit and that let us know it was time.
I’ve been wanting to move up but it seemed like my opportunities were down in weight. Now I’m ready to mix it up with the best guys here.
“Per me, it’s all about the joy of getting in the ring and competing. I want to do it at the highest level and I’m looking forward to getting big fights.
Barry Hunter, Trainer di Peterson
Sometimes having time off like Lamont had is not a bad thing. It gives you space and time to work on your mental game, shore up some things you could be weak at and of course it lets you heal up. It’s served us well and I’m happy with what I see from Lamont so far.
We always approach an opponent, no matter the record, like they are a world champion. We prepare for war. If anything less than that takes place, così sia. We’re going to be ready. To me Avanesyan is a guy who is an obstacle in our way. If we can’t go around him, we’ll go right through him.
We want all of the top 147-pounders. I always thought Lamont and Danny Garcia was a fight that warranted a rematch. Because it was a great fight that had a little bit of controversy around it. I still would like to see the rematch.
