Salita Signs Super Bantamweight Powerhouse Jesse Angel Hernandez to a Promotional Contract

Dmitriy Salita of Salita Promotions proudly announces the signing of super bantamweight prospect Jesse Angel Hernandez to an exclusive promotional contract.
A 26-year-old southpaw from Fort Worth, Texas, Hernandez (9-1, 7 Kos) first came to Salita’s attention last Augusti 4, at a Salita Promotions event at the MGM Grand Detroit, and live on ShoBox: Den nya generationen, where he sored an impressive TKO 5 over Russia’s formerly undefeated Vladimir Tikhonov (16-0). Tikhonov, a Salita fighter, was overwhelmed by the strength, heavy hands and fearsome body attack of Hernandez.
It was a display of offensive firepower that promoters look for in a prospect.
Hernandez compiled a 68-6 record as an amateur before turning pro in 2009. Hampered by inactivity for five years, due to managerial issues and a shortage of local gyms, he has rededicated his career since returning in 2014.
Hernandez comes from a boxing family and is one of 16 brothers and sisters. Nine of the boys were boxers and six turned professional, including JoseEl Loco” Hernandez, who scored a draw against former world champion Mickey Bey, and Rodrigo Hernandez, who fought to the only draw with Leo Santa Cruz.
It’s like a blessing to sign with Salita,” Said Hernandez. “I feel like we are very good fit. A company with great potential to make hardworking fighters into championship level athletes. I plan on making a name for myself and eventually win a world title.
A true force in the ring, Hernandez says as he progresses to bigger fights, his relentless style will become even more effective.
I was made for 12 rounds or more. I have an advantage that will help me reach my plan of dominating the 122-lb. division and eventually move up and hopefully do the same at higher divisions. I would like to fight anybody who holds a title once I get my opportunity. I want to fight whoever is the best when I get to that level. I fear no one. If you have ranking points or a title, I hope to see you in my future.
Jesse has an exciting, aggressive TV-friendly style,” sa Dmitriy Salita. “I am confident that with more fights and exposure he will be on his way to being a big name in the super bantamweight division.

Joseph Parker vs. Hughie Fury WBO Heavyweight World Championship To air Sept. 23 bor på PPV i USA

PRESSMEDDELANDE
TENAFLY, N.J.(September 14, 2017) – A pair of undefeated heavyweights will face-off on Lördageftermiddag, September 23, as World Boxing Organization (WBO) Heavyweight Världsmästare Joseph Parker takes on WBO No. 1 utmanare Hughie Fury, airing on Pay Per View in the United States, börjar vid 3:00 p.m. OCH / 12:00 p.m. PT, live from Manchester Arena in Manchester, United Kingdom.
Parker vs. Fury”, promoted by Hennessy Sports, presenteras i USA av Integrated Sports Media och Protocol Sports Marketing, Ltd., in conjunction with an internet-based YouTube PPV that is available at www.youtube.com/parkerfury..
Integrerade sportmedier kommer att distribuera “Parker vs. Furylive in the United States on kabel och satellit PPV via iN Demand, Vubiquity, och DISH för endast ett rekommenderat pris $24.95.
Utanför Nordamerika, “Parker vs. Fury” distribueras till programföretag världen över av det ledande företaget för distribution av rättigheter för boxning-tv, Protocol Sports Marketing Ltd.
The Heavyweight Championship of the World is still the biggest priize in sport and it can capture the imagination of the public like no other sport,” promotor Mick Hennessy sa. “In my career as a promoter, this is right up there and very personal to me, and we look forward to delivering a fantastic event for the fans.
Parker (23-0, 18 Kos) and Fury (20-0, 10 Kos) have a combined record of a prefect 43-0 med 28 knockouts. Parker succeeded Fury’s unbeaten cousin, Tyson Fury, who vacated the WBO heavyweight title in 2016.
The 25-year-old Parker, fighting out of New Zealand by way of Las Vegas, captured the vacant WBO heavyweight title in 2016, taking a 12-round majority decision from previously undefeated Andy Ruiz, Jr. (29-0) in New Zealand. Parker, who stands 6′ 4″, made his first world title defense this past May in New Zealand, winning a 12-round unanimous decision over Razvan Cojanu (16-2).
Parker’s other notable victims include Frans Botha, Brian Minto, Sherman Williams, Jason Pettaway, Kali Meehan, Carlos Takam och Alexander Dimitrenko.
I’m excited that the next defense of my WBO World title will be in England because it is now the home of heavyweight boxing and I need to be fighting there regularly,” Parker remarked. “Fighting away from home holds no fears for me. I will arrive having previously fought on the undercard of a Wladimir Klitschko world title fight in Germany, also twice in America. I believe that with so many Kiwis and Samoans living in the UK, I may even have more supporters in the crowd on fight night than Hughie Fury.
Fury has fully recovered from the back injury that postponed the original Maj 6 date for him to challenge Parker to Sju. 23 i Manchester.
I 2012, Fury became the first British super heavyweight to capture a gold medal at the World Youth Amateur Boxing Championships and he hasn’t missed a beat as a professional since making his pro debut in 2013.
Den 6′ 6″ Fury, som fyller sin 23rd birthday on Sju. 18, will be fighting at home in Manchester. Last year in his two most recent fights, both in London, Fury won a 10-round unanimous decision against former U.S. amateur standout Dominick Guinn (35-10-1), as well as a seven-round technical decision over Fred Katt (18-4-1).
I’ve waited so long for this chance and my team have worked very hard to get me this fight,” Fury commented. “I’d like to thank everyone involved. I’m going to shock the world and prove all my doubters wrong and what better place to do it than in my home city of Manchester. Parker is a good fighter and I’ve no doubt we’ll both bring our A-game on fight night. I can’t wait to be crowned world champion.
Parker is the biggest challenge of my life and he will bring the very best out of me, but I aim to deliver a knockout performance. I’ve prepared like never-before for this fight and pushed myself to the limits and beyond. There’s no way Parker is leaving Manchester with that World title. I will do everything to make sure that belt stays here with me.
Also airing live is the 12-round vacant WBO Intercontinental super welterweight title fight between hometown hero Jimmy “Kilrain” Kelly (21-2, 9 Kos) och StilliyanStill KillKostov (21-7, 16 Kos), of Bulgaria.
All and/or highlights of additional PPV fights will air pending time restraints.

(L-R) – Callum Smith & Erik Skoglund
Smith (22-0, 17 Kos), fighting at home in Liverpool, is rated No. 8 by The Ring magazine. He is a former WBC Silver and European super middleweight champion who is a rising star.
A ring is a ring no matter where it is, but course, I’m happy to be fighting in Liverpool,” Smith admitted. “This is my home and this is where all my best performances as a professional have been. I like fighting in Liverpool, and with the crowd behind me, I will have an added advantage.
There are no easy fights in this tournament. It’s the best fighting the best, but I believe I made the right decision (choosing Skoglund) i Monte Carlo (at the WBSS Draft Gala). That’s not to say Skoglund is not a good fighter. I think he is a very good fighter. His record speaks for itself, but I think stylistically, he was the right choice for me.
It’ll be a tough test. På papperet, Skoglund is probably the best fighter I’ve ever faced, and I will need to be at my best to beat him. But every time I’ve been up against it in my career, and every time there’s been that fear factor, it’s brought out the best in me and I’m hoping for the sameLördag.”
Skoglund (26-0, 12 Kos) was ranked by all four major sanctioning bodies as a light heavyweight before moving down in weight to compete in the WBSS as a super middleweight. The 26-year-old Swede has been the IBO, WBA International and European champion.
This is a huge opportunity for me to prove myself at the highest level,” Skoglund said. “Callum Smith is a top-level fighter and one of the tournament favorites. This is what the World Boxing Super Series is all about – den bästa slåss bäst! That’s why I entered and that is why I’m really looking forward to this fight.
“För mig, it’s no problem fighting in Liverpool. Naturligtvis, I am always thankful for the opportunity to fight in front of my fans in Sweden, but I’m happy not having that pressure on my shoulders for this fight and I will enjoy being the underdog for once.
