ಟ್ಯಾಂಪಾ, FL (ಜೂನ್ 13, 2018) – When unbeaten middleweight Connor Coyle entered the paid ranks, he was considered one of Ireland’s prized prospects. The Derry native medaled at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and generated a lot of interest from promoters across the globe.

 

 

 

Coyle ultimately signed with Tampa, FL based Fire Fist Promotions and five of his seven professional bouts took place in the Tampa region. To ensure he’s at his absolute best when entering the squared circle, Coyle treks more than 4000 miles from Ireland to Tampa for training camp.

 

 

 

While his stateside training camps play an integral role in Coyle’s improvement, it comes with major sacrifices.

 

 

 

“The hardest part is having to get up and leave my little girl for each camp,” Coyle said of training in Tampa while his 2-year-old daughter remains in Ireland. “I’ve been doing this since she was born and it’s hard because she doesn’t understand why.”

 

 

 

ದಿ 7-0 Coyle’s next challenge comes Saturday, ಜೂನ್ 16 when he meets rival Danny Pastrana of Orlando, FL in a ten round contest for the NBA Intercontinental middleweight title at the Coliseum in St Petersburg, FL.

 

 

 

Pastrana has a modest 6-4 ದಾಖಲೆ 1 KO but has faced good competition. He’s had a full training camp leading up to June 16 and Coyle’s expecting the confident Pastrana to be at his best.

 

 

 

“I’ve put in a full training camp and the work has been done in the gym. Training so far from home is a struggle with my daughter back in Ireland but it also inspires me. I’ll be ready for whatever Danny Pastrana brings Saturday night and plan to return to Ireland with the NBA championship.”

 

 

 

The card is promoted by Fire Fist Promotions in association with Money Round Boxing. A limited number of tickets are available at www1.ticketmaster.com/event/0D00548D9F1C967E.

 

 

 

Fans can also enjoy the fight live from anywhere in the world starting at 7 pm ET at Moneyroundboxing.com. The telecast will feature commentary by Boxing Hall of Famer Winky Wright.

 

 

 

ಸಂಜೆ ಸಹ ಒಳಗೊಂಡಿತ್ತು ಪಂದ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ, two-time Olympic bronze medalist Ivan Dychko, 5-0 (5 ಕೋ ನ), ಕಿಸ್ಸಿಮ್ಮಿಯ, FL by way of Kazakhstan challenges former title contender Mike Marrone, 21-8 (15 ಕೋ ನ), of Vero Beach, FL. The 6’9 Dychko is regarded by many as a future heavyweight champion.

 

 

 

Welterweight phenom Mark Reyes Jr. squares off against experienced Puerto Rican Javier Garcia, 8-16-1 (3 ಕೋ ನ) ಆರು ರೌಂಡರ್ ರಲ್ಲಿ. Living and fighting out of Tampa, Reyes Jr, 6-0 (4 ಕೋ ನ), was a top amateur and has a huge following. Against Reyes, Garcia’s facing his 12ನೇ unbeaten foe.

 

 

 

Featherweight crowd pleaser Jose “Lil Pacquiao” Resendiz, 5-1 (3 ಕೋ ನ) ಸೇಂಟ್. Petersburg meets Vincent Jennings of Grand Rapids, MI in a six round affair. Resendiz is a favorite in the Sunshine State, fighting a Pacquiao-esque style that puts fans at the edge of their seats. ಜೆನ್ನಿಂಗ್ಸ್, 5-5-1 (4 ಕೋ ನ), fought all across the country and has a decision win over previously unbeaten Dennis Galarza.

 

 

 

The undercard features the career finale of St. Petersburg’s Ali Terah, junior welterweight Joseph Fernandez, heavyweight Rodriguez Cade and bantamweight Rufat Huseynov in separate bouts.

 

 

 

The cruiserweight contest featuring Nicholas Iannuzzi and Vincent Miranda was cancelled due to an injury suffered by Iannuzzi in training.

The scheduled eight-round main event features a hometown battle between two fighters who have earned their stripes fighting tough competition on the road. After competing in other fightersbackyards and dealing with their opponentshome crowds and officials, ಕಿರಿಯ welterweights ಅಲ್ಫೊನ್ಸೊ Olvera (10-4-1, 4 ಕಾಸ್) ಮತ್ತು Wilberth ಲೋಪೆಜ್ (21-9, 15 ಕಾಸ್) will have a chance to showcase their incredible tenacity and talent in front of their own families, friends and Tucson fans.

 

 

 

Olvera, who has had trouble finding opponents, has faced top competition since turning pro. In his second fight, he went the distance with Ivan Baranchyk, currently unbeaten at 19-0.

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® REPORTER JIM GRAY CALLS INDUCTION INTO INTERNATIONAL BOXING HALL OF FAME AN ‘UNLIKELY AND TREMENDOUS HONOR’

Veteran Reporter Joins Former Play-By-Play Announcer Steve Albert As Sixth From SHOWTIME Sports® ರಿಂದ 2012 To Be Presented With Boxing’s Highest Honor

ನ್ಯೂಯಾರ್ಕ್ (ಜೂನ್ 11, 2018) – SHOWTIME Sports® veteran reporter ಜಿಮ್ ಗ್ರೇ was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame on Sunday in Canastota, ಎನ್.ವೈ., joining former colleague and longtime SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING play-by-play announcer ಸ್ಟೀವ್ ಆಲ್ಬರ್ಟ್ in receiving boxing’s most prestigious honor.

 

 

 

Gray and Albert became the fifth and sixth SHOWTIME Sports talent enshrined in the Hall of Fame since 2012. They join boxing analyst Al Bernstein (2012), ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr. (2013), analyst and historian Steve Farhood (2017) and play-by-play announcer Barry Tompkins (2017).

 

 

 

In front of a large crowd that included close friends Mike Tyson, ಡಾನ್ ಕಿಂಗ್, Deontay ವೈಲ್ಡರ್, Julius Irving, Jerry Richardson, Stedman Graham, Bob Costas and many others, the 59-year-old Southern California resident Gray reflected on 40-plus years of covering the sport of boxing. “My journey today has been an unlikely one,” Gray said during his induction speech. “The Boxing Hall of Fame immortalized all of these great fighters. So this magnificent honor comes with tremendous humility. How could this happen? I never took a punch.

 

 

 

ಬೂದು, who started with SHOWTIME in 1994, was honored with a Special Individual Achievement Emmy Award – he currently has 12 Emmy’s in total – in 1997 for his interview of Mike Tyson following the heavyweight’s second loss to Evander Holyfield, the infamous “bite fight.” The National Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association also named that interview theSports Broadcast Story of the Year.” ಹೆಚ್ಚುವರಿಯಾಗಿ, the American Sportscasters Association has voted GraySportscaster of the Year” ರಲ್ಲಿ 1998 and ‘99.

 

 

 

Gray chose Tyson to introduce him on Sunday during the induction ceremony. “It’s ironic,” said Gray. “The man who threatened to kill me in public is now inducting me into the Hall of Fame.

 

 

 

This award is way, way overdue,” an emotional Tyson said of his good friend. “I’m very proud of you. Well-deserved.

 

 

 

With this past weekend’s induction ceremony, SHOWTIME Sports now boasts five current Hall of Famers featured on the network: ಬೂದು, Bernstein, Farhood, Tompkins and Lennon Jr.

 

 

 

“I am so pleased for Jim and Steve that they received this great honor,” said David Dinkins Jr., Senior Vice President and Executive Producer of SHOWTIME Sports. “Jim Gray’s interviews and reporting have been an integral part of our SHOWTIME telecast from the beginning. Because of his skills and instincts we have been able to cover the events in depth. There have been countless times that Jim’s dogged pursuit of a story has enabled us to paint the complete picture of the event.”

 

 

 

Gray has forged one of the most memorable sports broadcasting careers in recent history, which includes a deep boxing resume. Gray has worked more than 1,200 fights and interviewed over 1,500 fighters throughout his career, ಒಳಗೊಂಡು 20 of his fellow Hall of Famers, such as Muhammad Ali, ಜೋಯ್ ಫ್ರೇಜಿಯರ್, George Foreman and future Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather Jr. and many others ringside.

 

 

 

Outside of the ring, Gray has covered nearly every sport and landed some of the industry’s most lucrative interviews, including sit-downs with Michael Phelps, Tiger Woods, Tom Brady and Michael Jordan.

 

 

 

Albert spent two decades calling fights for SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. Albert called more than 300 fights during his tenure with SHOWTIME, including Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Greg Haugen in front of 130,000 fans at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, Tyson-Holyfield I & II and the epic Corrales vs. Castillo series.

 

 

 

“Steve Albert’s incredible preparation and perfect timing were the reasons for his memorable fight calls,” Dinkins said. “Steve was the voice of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING through the high profile fights of the Tyson and Chavez eras. He will be forever linked to those shows which helped establish our network as a major broadcaster of boxing.”

 

 

 

Both Gray and Albert earned induction into the Observer category, which recognizes outstanding achievements of print and media journalists, publishers, ಬರಹಗಾರರು, historians, photographers and artists.

I think this is great,” Jones talked about the formation of the USA Boxing Alumni Association. “Fighters who turned pro were great amateurs, but there are also a lot of amateurs who didn’t turn pro. Everybody doesn’t become champion, but they tried and gave their best, and that’s why this organization is good because all boxers are appreciated.

 

 

 

Although Hall of Fame weekend tends to focus on the professional careers of many fighters,” Cugliari concluded, “it was hard not to notice the effect that amateur boxing has had on the lives of many of these great champions. The USA Boxing Alumni Association wants to thank Ed Brophy for his generosity and support for boxing, and we look forward to a long partnership with the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
