פֿאַר באַלדיק מעלדונג
אַטלאַנטיק שטאָט, נדזש (מאַרץ 15, 2016)–דאס שבת נאַכט בייַ The Claridge Hotel in Atlantic City, Long Island based welterweight טאָממי ראַינאָנע makes his debut on the boardwalk when he battles Maurice Chalmers in a eight round bout in a featured undercard bout of a 11-bout card promoted by Rising Promotions and Vincent M.Ponte’s Gulfstream Promotions.
אין די הויפּט געשעעניש, טאמעס לאַמאַננאַ נעמט אויף Kendal Mena in a eight round welterweight bout.
Rainone has a record of 24-7-1 with with five knockouts has long been a fan favorite in the Empire state, and the fight with Chalmers will fulfill a venue that has been on the 36 year-old’s bucket list.
“I have fought in Madison Square Garden, Yankee Stadium, The Legendary Blue Horizon and Las Vegas. I have been wanting to fight in Atlantic City for a long time and Saturday it finally happens,” said Rainone.
What makes Rainone’s career even more fascinating is that he works a full-time job overnight working for Hilton Hotels in the accounting the department.
That makes for long days, working until the early morning, getting just a few hours of sleep and then going to the gym before his overnight shift.
“I have not had a day off in seven weeks, but I will be ready to go אויף שבת נאַכט. I have had pretty good training and sparring. Now I am just maintaining my weight “
In Chalmers, he is facing a veteran who has a record of 14-12-1 מיט אַכט קנאָקקאָוץ. Chalmers has knocked off three undefeated fighters, but Rainone is confident that his skills and preparation will be enough to get his hand raised.
“I have seen him once in person. He defeated an undefeated guy and he was very aggressive that night. I have seen other fight’s where he sits back and is a counter puncher. I prepare for anything.”
Since turning professional in 2006, Rainone has been an instant fan favorite, and he feels he owes a lot of support to the many supporters who have stuck by him through his whole career.
“Without a fan base, you don’t get fights. I will have 100 or so fans down in Atlantic City. I owe everything to them.”
Rainone believes his popularity is due large in part to him being just an “everyday guy” and his fans can relate to him.
“I always put on a good fight, but I am relate able. After the fights, I hang out with everybody. I am humble and I show the fans how much I appreciate him.”
אין זיין לעצט באַוט, Rainone took one of the step up fights that could have set him up for a major opportunity when he took on former junior middleweight champion Ishe Smith.
Rainone came up just short in that fight, but Rainone wanted to test himself against the former world champion.
“That fight was a tall order. Ishe is the bigger man and a former world champion. I am not a junior middleweight. I tried very hard and I knew if I had won that fought, I would have been ranked in the top-ten.”
Rainone is only planning to fight another couple of years and he still has the goals of every fighter, but he is taking his career fight by fight.
“The goal is one fight at a time. I am excited to fight in Atlantic City. I want to fight at Barclays Center and again in Madison Square Square Garden as well fighting for a title back in Atlantic City.”
“I have done this the hard way throughout my career. I do not know who has done it the way I have. I have done this on my own without any alliance or any promoter and I am very proud what I have accomplished and I still have more to do.”
טיקקעץ פֿאַר די March 19th fight card are $50 גאַ, $75 Stage (very few remaining)& $125 וויפּ (SOLD OUT) (בוטס פון 5 available for $500—SOLD OUT) and are available at RisingBoxingPromotions.com or 609-487-4444.

WBC FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION GARY RUSSELL JR. DEFENDS AGAINST IRELAND’S PATRICK HYLAND IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® DOUBLEHEADER ON SATURDAY, אפריל 16 FROM FOXWOODS RESORT CASINO IN MASHANTUCKET, קאָרט
PAUL WILLIAMS RETURNS TO BOXING AS A TRAINER
FORMER WORLD CHAMPION TO TRAIN PROSPECT JUSTIN DELOACH
IN FOURTH FIGHT ADDED TO פרייטיק, מאַרץ 25,
שאָבאָקס: דער נייַ דור טעלאַקאַסט
“I’m scared all over again, like this is my first fight.” – Paul Williams
Super Welterweight DeLoach Takes on Undefeated Local Favorite Dillon Cook;
Promising Meets Aaron Herrera in Main Event;
לעבן אויף שאָוטיים® בייַ 10:30 פּ.ם. און/פּט
נייַ יארק (מאַרץ 15, 2016) – Former two-time world champion פאולוס ווילליאַמס, who’s pro career came to a sudden and tragic end when he was paralyzed from the waist down after a motorcycle accident in May 2012, is back in boxing as a trainer.
The popular Williams will work the corner of once-beaten דזשאַסטין דעלאָאַטש (13-1, 7 קאָס) when DeLoach faces undefeated super welterweight and local favorite דילאַן קאָכן (16-0, 6 קאָס) in the opening eight-round bout of what is now a שאָבאָקס: די ניו גענעראַטיאָן קוואַדרופּלעהעאַדער אויף פרייַטיק, מאַרץ 25, לעבן אויףשאָוטיים (10:30 פּ.ם. און/פּט, דילייד אויף די מערב קאָוסט) פון בופלאָקס ראַן קאַסינאָ אין מיאַמי, אָקלאַ.
DeLoach is the first boxer to be trained by Williams, the former 154-pound southpaw who has been confined to a wheelchair since the accident.
“I guess I was being selfish at first,” Williams said. “I didn’t want to deal with the fight game. I wanted to be the one fighting. But that changed.”
Williams was reluctant to train fighters for a long time. עס איז געוועןGeorge Peterson, who managed and trained Williams from the time the boxer was a skinny kid with little amateur experience until his career ended, that helped persuade “The Punisher” to return to the ring. Williams trains his pupil at a private gym in his hometown of Aiken, S.C.
“You know me, I really didn’t want to do this,’’ Williams said. “But finally after three or four years of George practically begging me to try and do it, this opportunity came along and I decided to give it a shot.
“Everything is about timing. I started thinking about it, George kept asking me and messing with me about it, one thing led to another, and I finally said I’d take a stab at it.
ווילליאַמס, who is enjoying his new job description, admits there are some pre-fight jitters.
“I’m scared all over again, like this is my first fight. איצט, I have to think about everything that Mr. Pete was thinking about when I was fighting. I have to try and teach Justin what I knew how to do.
“George and I accomplished a lot. He made me a world champion; before that, no one knew who he or I was. We were just a couple of guys from Aiken, S.C. We gave fans fights to remember.
“I was the fighter the press labeled as ‘Most feared in boxing.’ But that’s over for me now. I’m jumping into a whole new thing. It’s been an adjustment but I’m glad I’m doing it.’’
In his role as a trainer, Williams’ mindset has changed drastically from his fighting days. “Look, I always feel good,'' ער האט געזאגט. “What’s happened has happened. עס איז וואָס עס איז. This is my first time stepping back into the world. איך ליבע באָקסינג.
“What I don’t want to see is a fighter getting hurt. This is a hard sport. I know when I was in there I was always going for broke. But I want Justin, all fighters actually, to come out of the ring the same way they came in. געווינען אָדער פאַרלירן, I don’t want to see anybody get hurt.’’
On DeLoach, ווילליאַמס האט, “He’s a good fighter and now he’s in the spotlight. I want to do my best in the training world to get him at his peak. I hope he does his best. I’d love to one-up George with Justin.’’
Becoming the best takes strenuous work on a daily basis, and Williams was no stranger to putting in the hours.
“I never took a shortcut,'' ער האט געזאגט. “You take shortcuts, you know what’ll happen. I took the long road home when I was fighting and fans, פייטערז, everybody knew what to expect when I stepped in the ring.
“Justin isn’t like this, but one thing I know is that fighters think they’re slick. געזונט, you can’t pull anything over me. איך ווע שוין דאָרט, seen it all.’’
און, ווי שטענדיק, he’ll have George Peterson by his side.
“I’m just helping Paul,’’ said Peterson, who will serve as Williams’ assistant trainer. “So far, he’s doing great.”
It will be the שאָבאָקס און 2016 דייביוז — and toughest fight to date — for both DeLoach and Cook.
DeLoach was a top amateur, competing in the USA Boxing National Championships in 2012. He won a National Silver Golden Gloves title when he was 13.
The 22-year-old DeLoach, of Augusta, Ga., has won three in a row since suffering his lone loss to Cesar Villa אויף פעברואר. 6, 2015. That was before he started training with Williams.
“This has been a total blessing, and I say that every day,” DeLoach said. “Thank God. He’s the one who brought the two of us together, that’s the main thing. Paul loves it, just to be back. I think he was scared at first, his reputation was at stake and so was mine.
“But he’s been so helpful – just in the mental side of things. I was already a good boxer but he’s taken me to another level mentally. He’s been pushing me, criticizing me, giving me instructions and picking my brain.”
DeLoach and Williams grew up just 30 minutes down the road from each other.
“Me and Paul, we’ve known each other our whole lives,’’ DeLoach said. “I’m from Augusta, Ga., and he was right across in Aiken. We knew each other when I was coming up as an amateur. He came to my last pro fight that was in San Antonio. When I saw him, I got so excited. We started to talk and I said something like, 'היי, פאולוס, wouldn’t it be cool if we got together?'
“Once I came home, we started working together and he’s been training me since. I think we’re going on about three months now. It’s an unbelievable feeling to be able to work with one of my favorite fighters.”
אין זיין לעצט עקסקורסיע, DeLoach won a shutout four-round decision overSantos Benavides לעצט דעצעמבער. 12. דעלאָאַטש, a pro since March 2013, fought six times that year and four times each in 2014 און 2015.
“I’m really looking forward to fighting for the first time for him,” DeLoach said. “I’ve gone crazy waiting for my break and an opportunity like this to fight on SHOWTIME. I know it’s not easy fighting in your opponent’s backyard, but with Paul, George Peterson and me and my skills, we are confident it will be a good fight.’’
קאָכן, 25, is from Seneca, מאָ., which is located about 20 minutes from Buffalo Run Casino where he has fought six times. A top amateur, he won six Golden Gloves titles, a Junior Golden Gloves National title, a Heartland title and four regional Silver Gloves titles. He is popular at Buffalo Run and will be making his premium network television debut against easily his most dangerous assignment as a pro. Cook’s brother, דזשעסי, a welterweight with a record of 15-1-1, will box on the non-televised portion of the event.
Dillon Cook turned pro in August 2012, fought twice that year, seven times in 2013, four times in 2014 and three times last year. Five of his last seven took place at Buffalo Run, including two out of three in 2015. He’s coming off a lopsided eight-round decision overRahman Yusubov לעצט נאוועמבער. 14.
“I couldn’t be more excited about making my שאָבאָקס דעבוט, right at home, at the Buffalo Run Casino,” Cook said. “This is a huge opportunity for me, and I plan on putting on a spectacular showing, for all my fans there that night and everyone watching on TV.”
אין די שאָבאָקס הויפּט געשעעניש, unbeaten super lightweight knockout artist and emerging rising star, רעגיס "ראָוגאַראָו" מגילה (16-0, 13 קאָס), Houston by way of New Orleans, will meet experienced אהרן "דער בריליאַנט" העררעראַ (29-4-1, 18 קאָס), of Valladolid, מעקסיקא, in a 10-round match.

MATT MITRIONE CHOOSES BELLATOR MMA, SIGNING AN EXCLUSIVE, MULTI-FIGHT CONTRACT WITH THE PROMOTION
סאַנטאַ מאָניקאַ (מאַרץ 14, 2016) – Last week, top mixed martial art’s free agent מאַט מיטריאָנע (9-5) joined Ariel Helwani’s “MMA Hour” show and revealed that he had been fielding offers from multiple promotions, including a great bid he had received from Bellator MMA. In a very rare move, Helwani had Mitrione rejoin his popular talk show for a second straight week to announce that the paperwork has been finalized, making Mitrione the newest member of Bellator MMA’s heavyweight division.
“There comes a time in every athlete’s life, where the scenarios change and the landscape has eroded from what made you fall in love with it initially,” said Mitrione. “It has become that time for me. After a mutually beneficial free agency period, I’ve decided to move my career to Bellator. I’ve enjoyed almost every second of my career and unlike most that switch organizations due to being cut or no longer being able to perform at the sports highest levels, I am bringing a body and skillset that are only getting better and I cannot wait to test my abilities against the best Bellator has to offer.”
Lovingly referred to as “Meathead,” Mitrione is one of the few fighters to have started his professional career with the UFC without previously competing on the regional circuit. His 14-bout stint with that promotion began in 2009, where he faced formidable opponents the likes of: קימבאָ רעפטל, גאַבריעל גאָנזאַגאַ, בן ראָטהוועלל, Derrick Lewis, ברענדאַן סטשאַוב, רוי נעלסאָן, Shawn Jordan and Travis Brown amongst others.
Prior to competing in MMA, Mitrione earned a scholarship to play defensive tackle for the Purdue Boilermakers football team, not far from where he grew up in Springfield, קראַנק. נאָך קאָלעגע, he played in the NFL for the New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings until 2005.
At the conclusion of his professional football career, the Shotokan Karate Black Belt focused all of his attention on the sport of MMA. Mitrione spent time training with Duke Roufus and the highly-respected Roufusport team before landing with the famed Blackzilians camp in Boca Raton, פלאַ, where he trains today.
The extremely popular and well-spoken Mitrione has allowed the judges to determine the result of his fight only twice, קעגן דזשאָוי בעלטראַן און טשעיקק קאָנגאָ, both of whom currently fight for Bellator MMA. His entertaining fighting style has earned him recognition with “Performance of the Night” (צוויי מאָל) און “פייט פון די נאַכט” אַקקאָלאַדעס.
Prior to his last fight with his former promotion, Mitrione was forced to participate in a media session barefoot, as his shoes didn’t adhere to the strict company uniform policy. He will have no such problems at Bellator, where he is free to secure his own sponsors and keep his feet warm with the footwear of his choosing.
Bellator has been bolstering their heavyweight division as of late, and Mitrione becomes the second heavyweight free agent the promotion has signed in as many months, ווי סערגעי כאַריטאָנאָוו joined the fray in February. The division is currently championed by וויטאַלי מינאַקאָוו, and includes other top names like Slice, באַבי לאַשלי, טשעיקק קאָנגאָ, Vinicius “Spartan,” Tony Johnson, דזשאַסטין רען, דן טשאַרלעס און אַוגוסטאָ סאַקאַי.

אויף מאַרץ 26, NABO Junior Welterweight Champion Maurice “Mighty Mo” Hooker (19-0-2, 14 קאָס) risks his unbeaten record against Wilfrido “La Roca” Buelvas (17-5, 11 קאָס) of Barranquilla, Colombia in a ten-round junior welterweight bout. Hooker, rated number seven by the WBO, is coming off of a career-best win on October 17, 2015 against his toughest opponent to date in Ghislain Maduma (17-2, 11 קאָס) בייַ מאַדיסאָן קוואדראט גאַרדאַן. Hooker successfully defended his NABO title with the 10-round decision win over Maduma on the undercard of Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux in a fight that was featured on the event’s “freeview” in the United States and streamed online around the world. Buelvas, a former WBA Fedebol champion, has won two of his last three bouts by knockout and fought Humberto Soto for the WBC Silver International Super Lightweight title in 2014, going the 12-round distance before losing a decision to the former World Champion.
Born and raised in Oak Cliff, טעקסאַס, a rough suburb of Dallas, Hooker found a boxing home at Maple Avenue Boxing Gym by way of an outreach program for at-risk youths. His natural talent was soon noticed resulting in him competing as an amateur, during which time he participated in over 100 פייץ, compiling a record of 97 ווינס און בלויז 7 לאָססעס, מיט 67 victories coming by way of knockout. Hooker turned professional on April 29, 2011, taking on the vastly more experienced Tyrone Chatman (7-1, 5 קאָ ס) at the Orpheum Theater in St. לוי. After four rounds, the judges saw the fight 40-36, 37-39 און 38-38, making the fight a split draw. Undeterred, in his next fight on June 24, 2014, Hooker scored his first professional win, knocking out Wilbert Mitchell in the first round at the Dr. Pepper Arena in Frisco, טעקסאַס. Eleven wins (eight by knockout) later, he took on undefeated Abel Ramos (8-0, 4 קאָ ס) אויף יאנואר 17, 2014 in a bout that was featured on ShoBox from the Cook Convention Center in Memphis. After eight close, hard-fought rounds, the judges saw the fight a draw. Hooker followed the draw with a six-round unanimous decision win over Adrian Rodriguez Garza (8-2, 6 קאָ ס) אויף אַפּריל 26 at Fitzgerald’s Casino and Hotel in Tunica, מיסיסיפּי. Four consecutive knockout victories would follow before he took on fellow undefeated prospect Eduardo Galindo (10-0-1, 7 קאָ ס) אויף יוני 26, 2015 at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas for the vacant NABO Junior Welterweight Championship. “Mighty Mo” did not disappoint his legion of hometown fans who saw him capture the title with a sixth round technical knockout victory.
Hailing from Rancho Cucamonga, California און מלחמה אויס פון די באָקסינג כאַטבעד פון אָקסנאַרד, ונדעפעאַטעד דניאל "טוויטש" פראַנקאָ (12-0-3, 7 קאָ ס) meets Mexican veteran German “Panteonero” Meraz(52-37-1, 30 קאָס) in an eight-round featherweight bout on מאַרץ 26. Featured for the second time on a Ward undercard, the sharp-boxing Franco will look to improve on his undefeated record against an opponent with literally six times his pro boxing experience. Meraz is only 29 years old but has already logged an amazing 90 professional bouts and has won four of his last six fights by knockout. He has fought current World Champion Juan Carlos Payano, Three-Time U.S. Olympian Rau’shee Warren and highly-touted prospect Gervonta Davis, going the distance with all three.
Franco began boxing at the age of eight, אַמאַסינג אַ ליבהאָבער רעקאָרד פון 67-15, ווינינג די אָקסנאַרד כאַווער טשאַמפּיאָנשיפּ אין 2006 און די California שטאַט זילבער גלאָוועס טשאַמפּיאָנשיפּ אין 2007 צוזאמען די וועג. בעשאַס פראַנקאָ ס פאַכמאַן דעבוט אויף דעצעמבער 18, 2010, ער דעפעאַטעד ימאַניואַל מאַטשאָרראָ בייַ קלוב 401 אין אָנטאַריאָ, California דורך א דריט קייַלעכיק טעכניש נאַקאַוט. טראָץ ווייל ענראָולד ווי אַ פול-צייַט תּלמיד בייַ טשאַפפיי קאַלידזש אין ראַנטשאָ קוקאַמאָנגאַ, פראַנקאָ ימפּרעסט פרי אין זיין קאַריערע, קאַמפּיילינג אַ ונדעפעאַטעד רעקאָרד מיט צוויי דראָז אין ווענוז איבער California דורך די סוף פון 2013. איינער פון יענע דראָז געקומען קעגן Alejandro אָטשאָאַ בייַ רויק קאַנאַן אין מאָנטעבעללאָ, California אויף סעפטעמבער 20, 2013, but in a rematch three months later, פראַנקאָ אָוטמאַטטשעד אָטשאָאַ סקאָרינג אַ זעקס-קייַלעכיק יונאַנאַמאַס באַשלוס נצחון בייַ וועסטין באָנאַווענטורע האטעל אין לאס אנדזשעלעס. אויף יוני 20, 2015, during Ward’s return to the ring at Oracle Arena, Franco saw action in an eight-round junior lightweight bout against Jonathan Alcantara and won by unanimous decision. A hand injury suffered in that bout kept Franco out of action until דעצעמבער 21when he scored a decision victory over Hector Garcia in Tijuana, מעקסיקא.
A promising unbeaten prospect from Salinas, קאַליפאָרניאַ, Rudy “The Revelation” Puja. דזשוניער. (7-0, 6 קאָס)looks to extend his undefeated streak against Carlos “Kalimba” Lozano (7-5, 4 קאָס) of Ensenada, Mexico in a six-round middleweight bout. Puga turned in a career-best performance in his last match-up on February 12 in knocking out Alejandro Osuna (4-2, 2 קאָ ס) in two rounds at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, קאַליפאָרניאַ. איצט, just a little over a month later, “The Revelation” will step into the ring against a tough opponent in Lozanao, a southpaw who has never been stopped and already has a ten-round decision victory under his belt.
Having compiled an exceptional amateur record of 99-8, Puga made his professional debut on September 2, 2011, scoring a fourth round technical knockout victory over Raul Talamontes at the Sports Complex in his hometown. Back in the ring less than two months later, Puga Jr. raised his record to 2-0 with a first round technical knockout of Jose Jesus Hurtado at the Sherwood Inn in Salinas. אין יוני 2012, he sent Thomas Turner to the mat four times in scoring a second round technical knockout win at the Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, נעוואַדאַ. After a little more than a year away from the ring, he rededicated himself to the “sweet science” with a vengeance and on February 17, 2014, Puga Jr. made his comeback stopping Charon Spain in the third round with an overpowering body shot at the Salinas Storm House in his native Salinas. Promotional issues kept Puga Jr. out of the ring for the next year and injuries led to a slow 2015, but Puga Jr. scored a a fourth round technical knockout win over of Katrell Straus on אַפּריל 24 and a six-round unanimous decision over Juan Carlos Rojas on נאָוועמבער 21, both fights taking place at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, קאַליפאָרניאַ.
Brooklyn’s 20-year-old, ונדעפעאַטעד Junior “The Young God” Younan (7-0, 6 קאָ ס) קערט צו די רינג אויף מאַרץ 26 after a nine-month layoff to take on Cristian Solorzano (4-7, 3 קאָס) פון סאָנאָראַ, Mexico in a four-round super middleweight fight. Younan has battled multiple nagging injuries since scoring a second round technical knockout victory over Mike Sawyer on the Miguel Cotto vs. Daniel Geale undercard on June 6, 2015 בייַ באַרקלייַס צענטראַל אין ברוקלין, ניו יארק. איצט 100 percent healthy, Younan looks to make Solozano his third straight knockout victim. Solorzano, a naturally bigger fighter, has campaigned in the light heavyweight division and is coming off of a knockout win.
Younan, trained by his father Sherif, a former professional boxer himself, began fighting competitively at age eight and only two years later was called a “boxing prodigy” by the New York Times. He compiled an amateur record of 90-5, racking up an impressive series of titles along the way including nine Junior Olympic championships, nine Junior Metro championships, eight New York State Silver Gloves championships and five Regional Silver Gloves championships. אין 2011, he was crowned National Junior Golden Gloves champion and was U.S.A. Boxing’s number one rated junior boxer in his weight class. Less than a month after his 18טה געבוירנ-טאָג, Younan made his professional debut on November 9, 2013, at the Aviator Sports and Events Center in Brooklyn, ניו יארק, stopping Kenneth Schmitz in the first round. Younan would go on to knockout his next three opponents before going the distance for the first time against Azamat Umarzoda on July 2, 2014 ביי פאָקסוואָאָדס רעסאָרט קאַסינאָ אין מאַשאַנטוקקעט, קאָננעקטיקוט. He followed that fight with a first round knockout of Marlon Farr on ויגוסט 13 the BB King Blues Club and Grill in New York on ויגוסט 13.
Chinese heavyweight Zhang “Big Bang” Zhilei (7-0, 4 קאָס) joins the undercard on מאַרץ 26 in a four-round bout against an opponent yet to be determined. The Silver Medalist from the 2008 Beijing Olympics continues to infuse excitement into the heavyweight division and is coming off of a first round technicalknockout win over David Koswara on February 20 at the Lanzhou Sports Arena in Lanzhou, טשיינאַ.
Born on May 2, 1983 in Henan, Zhang began his amateur career in 2003, participating in the World Championships. A breakthrough came in 2007 at the World Championships where Zhang defeated the trio of Nurpais Torobekov, Rustam Rygebayev and Daniel Beahan en route to the semifinals where he lost to Ukrainian Vyacheslav Glazkov. By capturing a bronze medal and finishing the competition in third place, he qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The Chinese powerhouse nearly reached the zenith of amateur success in the summer of 2008, entering the super heavyweight finals at the Summer Olympics in Beijing against Italy’s Roberto Cammarelle. It was not to be as Zhang suffered his first defeat of that Olympiad, losing to Cammarelle, but proudly adding to the host country’s medal total with a Silver. אין 2009, Zhang captured a gold medal at the China National Games, an event of equal prestige to the Olympics in China. 2013 saw yet another gold medal winning performance in the China National Games, setting the stage for “Big Bang” to embark on a professional career while basing himself in the United States. אויף אויגוסט 8, 2014, Zhang made his professional debut by scoring a first-round knockout win over Curtis Lee Tate in Fallon, Nevada in a fight that was televised live on ESPN2. אויף מאַרץ 14, 2015, Zhang beat Eric George via a four-round unanimous decision at the Armory in Jersey City, ניו דזשערזי. He followed that with another four-round unanimous decision win, this time over Glenn Thomas on the highly anticipated Cotto-Geale undercard at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on יוני 6. Next came a sixth round technical knockout win over Dennis Benson at The Playground in Atlantic City on ויגוסט 15. To end the year, Zhang was featured on the undercard of the נאָוועמבער 21 קאָוטאָו ווס. Canelo mega-fight at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, where scored a four-round unanimous decision victory over Juan Goode.
לאקאלע הייַוואַרד, California באַליבט אהרן קאָליי (12-1-1, 6 קאָ ס) faces a very stern test in a six-round junior middleweight bout against נאכגעגאנגען ריסקעלדיעוו (11-3-2, 7 קאָס) of West Hollywood, קאַליפאָרניאַ, a Kyrgyzstan native who is undefeated in his last seven fights.
אויף מאַרץ 26, Coley will look follow his most recent victory, a unanimous decision over Jeremy Ramos onיאַנואַר 23 at the Marriott on Broadway in Oakland, with another win in front of his hometown fans. Prior to his January win he scored two unanimous decision triumphs, including his June 20, 2015 performance against Yusmani Abreu (who Ryskeldiev defeated by technical knockout in September) on the undercard of Ward’s last fight. Considered a promising prospect in boxing circles, Coley’s lone loss came via decision to one of boxing’s hottest prospects in Ievgen Khytrov in a bout that was televised live on Showtime’s ShoBox on April 10, 2015 from The Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, ניו יארק.

WMMAA President Vadim Finkelchtein Leading sport into future
מאַנטי קאַרלאָ, מאָנאַקאָ (מאַרץ 14, 2016)- וועלט געמישט מאַרשאַל Arts פאַרבאַנד (ווממאַאַ) פּרעזידענט Vadim Finkelchtein, who founded the sanctioning organization in 2012, continues to lead WMMAA and the sport into a very bright future.
In four short years, WMMAA has alreadydeveloped into the strongest sanctioning body in the MMA world, hosting some of the sport’s most prestigious championships, as well as creating a highly respected culture in throughout sports worldwide.
Finkelchtein answered some pertinent questions below about WMMAA, its past and future, in addition to addressing the growth of mixed martial arts:
Can you tell us about you and your experience in Martial Arts?
ווף: “I practiced judo when I was a kid. Back then there was no MMA whatsoever.” How did you first enter the world of MMA?
ווף: “אין 1995, I was offered an opportunity to sponsor an MMA event. That’s when I learned about and fell in love with no holds barred, or free-fight, as it was called then. אין 1997, I organized my own event in Russia. The rest is history.” When did you first hear of MMA and what was your first impression? Did What is your function and main activities within WMMAA? How would you assess WMMAA’s progress during its three year existence?
ווף: “WMMAA is still in its infancy. יאָ, we lack experience and financing, and MMA is a new kind of sport in many regions. But I have to say that we’re growing and the last World Championship in Czech Republic proved it. Over 40 national teams flew to Prague with over 200 אַטליץ. The level of competition evolved so much. The organizational level was also high and we are thankful to our Czech MMA Federation for its great work. This World Championship proved there is demand for MMA around the world.” What are the main goals of WMMAA and what are the main obstacles facing Were there any countries that stood out or surprised you?
ווף: “China surprised me a lot. They joined WMMAA recently but since then they’ve shown solid results. אויך, I enjoyed the performance of Latin American teams. It was their debut but one Colombian kid (אַנדריי Roa רויז דומאַר) won a bronze medal and that was great. אַמאָל ווידער, Russia won the majority of the medals due to amateur MMA there developing with extremely rapid strides ever since early 2012. פעדער עמעליאַנענקאָ is the main locomotive and driving force in Russia. The selection process there is just unbelievable. You can’t imagine how many steps one needs to make in order to become the champion of the Russian Federation. The City Championship, Oblast Championship, regional and national championship. Each of these events consists of at least three fights, which means that a Russian champion will probably have had at least won 15 fights under his belt by the time of the European or World Championships. Only truly the best get to the top. Imagine this: around 7,000 athletes participated in the aforementioned events in 2015.”
What are the 2016 mid-term goals for WMMAA? Can you describe what 2015 was like for WMMAA? What words of wisdom would you like to share with the members of WMMAA family?
ווף: “I’d ask all WMMAA members to adhere to the agreements and decisions we reached collectively. It pertains to the set of rules, judging process, equipment, unified rules, and youth sports development.”
WMMAA keeps expanding, אָבער, there are still multiple countries that are not yet WMMAA members. Why should any local Federation apply for WMMAA membership?
ווף: “WMMAA is the strongest MMA organization there is. We plan to continuously hold regional and world championships and keep developing and evolving. אַטליץ’ ethical upbringing is also our target. We believe this sport can give so much to the world in various ways and we put a lot of effort into its development. We’ll gladly accept strong and worthy partners into our ranks.”
