Irish Heavyweight Sensation Con Sheenan to fight July 28
Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Juni 15, 2016) – Six-time Irish amateur champion Cornelius “Con” Sheehan is set to make his Canadian debut against an opponent to be named Donderdag, Juli 28 at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto, Ontario.
The bout takes place as part of Lee Baxter Promotions’ “The Next Generation.” Tickets priced at $45, $55 en $65 are available now by calling 416-797-3375. Deuren open om 6:30 pm and the opening bell is scheduled for 7:30.
“I’m looking forward to putting on a great show,” said Sheenan. “I plan to make a big statement on the 28th."
Born and raised in Tipperary, Ierland, Sheenan made his pro debutJanuari 19 in Los Angeles, ZOALS, outpointing previously unbeaten Jonathan Rice over four rounds. Since the victory, the 6’5 215 pound 27-year-old has been working hard in the gym and was recently in camp with heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. Sheenan, who had an incredible 203-18 amateur-record, won six Irish National Senior Division titles and captured 13 total championships. In 2008, he became the youngest ever heavyweight champion in Irish history at age 18.
“Con Sheenan is a hidden gem who will soon explode onto the heavyweight scene,” said Sheenan’s manager Gary Hyde of Nowhere2Hyde Management. “Con has an extensive amateur pedigree where he won multiple Irish national titles as well as a European Union title. He’s got a very fluid style but loves nothing more than going into the trenches, so he’s an extremely exciting fighter. In a few years, he’ll be right in the mix.”
Baxter is looking forward to showcasing Con on his card and believes he’s got a bright future.
“Con is very highly regarded and had a great amateur background. He’s on the right path in the pros and fans in Canada will love him. It’s a pleasure to work with Con, Adam Harris & Nowhere2Hyde Management for this fight. We’re looking forward to the first of many great performances from Con.”

“Ik ben erg blij om weer in de ring te komen voor mijn volgende gevecht, die wordt gehouden in juli 29 in het prachtige Centre Videotron van Quebec, tegen Thomas Williams Jr.,” Stevenson zei. Ik zal dat aantonen, zoals goede wijn, Ik ben zelfs beter met de leeftijd. Ook al heb ik niet gebokst voor 10 maanden, Ik heb de sportschool nog nooit verlaten en ik ben bereid mijn kroon te verdedigen.”
Williams, van Fort Washington, Maryland, bij 28, is 10 jaar jonger dan Stevenson en ook linkshandig.

In beide van die twee gevechten, Williams was een underdog, maar zijn vastberadenheid en dodelijke stoot maakten het verschil. “Er waren er velen die het vertrouwen in mij twee jaar geleden hadden verloren na mijn verlies aan... Gabriel Campillo (24-6-1, 11 KO),” Williams legde uit:. “Ik verzin geen excuses, maar er waren omstandigheden die tot dit resultaat hebben geleid. Ik kom uit de beste prestatie van mijn carrière en ik ben klaar om iets te veranderen Juli 29 in termen van de titelriem?. Stevenson is in het verleden nog nooit zo'n puncher als ik tegengekomen.”
“We zijn trots om onze samenwerking met Gestev en Center Videotron te starten met dit gala-evenement,” GYM president Yvon Michel toegevoegd. “Adonis Stevenson werd in juni de WBC-kampioen licht zwaargewicht 2012 en sinds toen 15 van 16 andere WBC-titels zijn van eigenaar veranderd.

Andere gevechten op de Juli 29th kaart bevat een groep ambitieuze, getalenteerde boksers, belooft een show met intense vechters die uitspraken doen.”

HUMAN HIGHLIGHT REEL RAYMOND DANIELS TAKES ON STEFANO BRUNO AT ‘BELLATOR KICKBOXING: ST. LOUIS’ ON JUNE 24 – LIVE & FREE ON SPIKE AT 11/10C
IN ADDITION: KERI MELENDEZ-SARAH HOWELL SHOWDOWN COMPLETES DYNAMIC BELLATOR KICKBOXING CARD
SANTA MONICA, CALIF. (Juni 14, 2016) – The SPIKE-televised "Bellator Kickboxing: St. Louis" event on June 24 at Scottrade Center is now complete, with the addition of two fights featuring Bellator Kickboxers Raymond Daniels (11-3) en Keri Melendez (3-1), die op zal nemen Stefano Bruno (23-2-1) en Sarah Howell (debuut) respectievelijk.
The fights join a main event that features a middleweight rematch between Joe Schilling (27-8) en Hisaki Kato (6-2), who initially competed against one another in a mixed martial arts contest that saw Kato get the better of the kickboxing ace with a “Knockout of the Year” winning superman punch.
"Bellator kickboksen: St. Louis” will air immediately following the highly anticipated “Bellator: Dynamiet 2” event LIVE and FREE on Spike at 11 p.m. EN/10 p.m. CT. Tickets for the double feature event start at just $30 and are on sale now at Ticketmaster.com and the at Scottrade Center Box Office.
A native of California, Daniels is one of the most widely known kickboxers in America, having made a splash as both and amateur and professional. “The Real Deal” went 17-0 als amateur, met negen knockouts, finishing all 17 bouts in the first round. Daniels made his professional debut in 2007, winning each of his first four fights, three of which ended in knockouts for the 36-year-old welterweight. Daniels was also a competitor at Bellator’s inaugural "Bellator Kickboxing: Torino " event in Italy this year, earning his first career victory with the Scott Coker-led promotion. The win was the eighth of his professional career and it came spectacularly 30 seconden in de eerste ronde, giving him five first-round knockouts in total.
With a stellar record of 23-2-1, Italian kickboxer Stefano Bruno will have his hands full when he steps into the ring with Daniels on the 24th of June. One half of what many kickboxing pundits considered the fight of the year in 2015 against Hosam Radwan, Bruno has competed all around the globe and has truly made a name for himself in the welterweight division.
The queen of the infamous Skrap Pack in Northern California, Melendez made her first appearance with Bellator during the kickboxing portion of "Bellator: Dynamiet 1, " recording a unanimous decision victory over Hadley Griffith in front of her home town faithful. Melendez tallied a 4-1 amateur mark before taking her talents to the professional circuit, waar ze heeft momenteel een 3-1 kickboksen opnemen. The 32-year-old flyweight will look to build off her impressive debut last year, when she takes on Sarah Howell in the kickboxing portion of Bellator’s “Dynamite 2” op Juni 24 at Scottrade Center in St. Louis.
Making your professional debut in anything is an arduous task, but making your debut against Melendez will be tougher than usual for Howell, who comes into the fight with no pro experience. Hailing from Washington – which coincidentally was the homestate of Melendez’s last opponent — the proud mother has been documenting her road to “Dynamiet 2” through her blog, te vinden hier.
Complete “Bellator Kickboxing: St. Louis” Fight Card:
Bellator kickboksen Middengewicht Main Event: Joe Schilling (27-8) vs. Hisaki Kato (6-2)

“I’ve never been to New York before and I’m looking forward to this big opportunity to put on a show for new fans in a new city,” said Santa Cruz. “I always fight for the fans and I’m excited to be able to do that somewhere I haven’t been before. Frampton is a good fighter. He has power and skills and he moves when he has to, but he has a weak chin. When he gets caught with a good punch, he goes down. He doesn’t like pressure and I have that. I’m looking forward to putting on an exciting show at Barclays Center and I hope I leave with lots of new fans.”
“I am in terrific shape, I feel fantastic in the gym and I am ready for the biggest fight of my career,"Zei Frampton. "Op Juli 30 I will become a two weight world champion.

It is my first time boxing in New York, where some of the greatest fights have taken place. I know there will be a large number of fans traveling from the UK and Ireland but there is also a huge Irish-American audience and I am eager to show them all what I can do. Bestel je tickets nu, het gaat om een geweldig gevecht worden!"
“Santa Cruz vs. Frampton is not only the best fight that can be made in the featherweight division, it truly is one of the most anticipated fights in all of boxing,”Zei Lou DiBella, Voorzitter van DiBella Entertainment. “Boxing fans can expect nonstop action in this can’t-miss matchup of aggressive styles. There’s no better way for Santa Cruz and Frampton to make their New York debuts than at Barclays Center, in Brooklyn, against each other.”
“The competitive matchup of Santa Cruz vs. Frampton shines an international spotlight on BROOKLYN BOXING at Barclays Center,” said Brett Yormark, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Vermaak. “We’re especially excited to host two of the best featherweight boxers in the sport today as they fight in New York for the first time.”
The popular Mexican-American Santa Cruz fights out of Los Angeles and won the 126-pound title in a “Fight of the Year” candidate against former three-division champ Abner Mares last August at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles.
