Sam Clarkson Jr. Squares off Against Israel Duffus for Ring Of Hope’s “Night To Fight” on March 7 in Irving TX

Maart 7, 2020 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

**IRVINE, TX (Maart 4, 2020)** – Fort Worth born-and-bred boxer Sam Clarkson Jr. was highly motivated by the wrong forces growing up. He was heading down dangerous Dallas roads, ones that could potentially not only derail his life, but spoil his boxing talents as well.

Before the Cedar HIll native found the sweet science at the age of 17, he was already going in and out of jail.

Reflecting on his regressions today, Clarkson Jr. is not proud of his decisions, but he doesn’t regret them either because it made him the stronger.

Non-profit organization Ring Of Hope was created in 2010 to help kids like Clarkson Jr. in the greater Dallas area escape trouble. Over the last decade, Ring Of Hope has transformed communities and changed the lives of the youth by educating, empowering and engaging students through the fundamentals of boxing.

Clarkson Jr. is proof of the promise that Ring Of Hope presents. He embodies the organization’s mission , en nu, Clarkson Jr. (22-5, 15 KO) will headline Ring Of Hope’s ninth annual “Night To Fight” on Saturday, Maart 7 when he takes on the Freddie Roach-trained Israel Duffus (19-6, 16 KO) at the Toyota Music Factory in Irving, Texas.

“It’s truly a huge blessing to headline Ring of Hope’s event,” said Clarkson Jr. “It’s great to see how Ring of Hope opens its doors to everyone and people of all different backgrounds. I want to become a part of a movement to show kids who may have troubled backgrounds that boxing accepts you no matter who you are.”

The light heavyweight Clarkson is a nine-year veteran who’s defeated the likes of Cedric Agnew and also challenged Dmitry Bivol and Jesse Hart in the past.

Before the 29-year-old southpaw appeared multiple times under the bright lights of Showtime television, he racked up an amateur record of 89-9 and won the National Pals in 2009 and the Ringside silver medal in 2010. Clarkson is also a two-time Texas Golden Gloves champion.

“I was a firecracker always up for a fight,” said Clarkson Jr. “I turned a negative into a positive. When I got introduced to boxing, it was mine, and I have stayed out of trouble for the last 13 jaar. Boxing has changed my life. For kids who are like me when I was growing up, if you have the right passion, there are no limitations to who you can become.”

Clarkson Jr. has frequented Ring of Hope gyms ever since its inception, whether it be for sparring, reconnecting with coaches and old friends or simply speaking and guiding children.

“A lot of the kids at Ring of Hope look up to me because I am a professional boxer. It feels great to motivate them,” said Clarkson Jr. “Ring of Hope is a great platform to help kids escape the streets. I take my hat off to them.

“I’ve returned to my comfort zone with spirituality. I’ve been reading the Bible a lot more and believe that God will set-up everything for me as a family man and a provider. I’ve fallen short a lot in the past, but ever since I’ve refocused my career, everything is falling back into place. Ik ben opgewonden, and I can’t wait to put on a great show. Everyone will be pleased to see my skills. I’ll be coming to make a statement. I’m coming with a chip on my shoulder and I’m looking to dominate.”

Clarkson Jr. will attempt to conquer the Panamanian pugilist Duffus, a 27-year-old who’s been training with the Hall of Fame coach Roach at the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles ever since he permanently moved to the United States in 2014.

“The last few years have been rough for me. I split with my wife, and we have two very young children. The last thing on my mind in the middle of the storm was boxing,” said Duffus. “My personal issues were affecting me, but I’m doing better now, and I’m focused on putting my career back on track.”

Duffus was riding an eight-fight winning from 2017 en 2018 before his problems outside of the ring took over. He lost his next two fights by unanimous decision. Finally in a better place, he’s looking to bounce back versus Clarkson Jr.

“Freddie has a lot of confidence in me and my talent,” said Duffus, who also has an amateur record of 98-10. “He tells me exactly what I need to do to take advantage of my opponent, and that’s what I plan on doing March 7.”

Also to be featured in separate bouts are welterweights **Jessy Martinez** (14-0, 9 KO) en **Brandyn Lynch** (10-1, 8 KO), cruiserweight **Robin Safar** (10-0, 7 KO) and heavyweight Patrick Mailata (4-0, 2 KO), Austin-based super lightweight **Robert Kevin Garcia** (6-0, 5 KO) and the Corpus Christi-based lightweight **John Rincon** (4-0, 2 KO).

Night To Fight will be available live on Integrated Sports Pay Per View on cable, satellite and digital pay-per-view via **gewild**, **Vubiquity**, **DirecTV** en **DISH** in de Verenigde Staten, **Shaw PPV** in Canada and worldwide via the FITE.TV app en website.

Decorated U.S. amateur boxer Angel Gonzalez, Jr. to make pro debut on “Fight Night In Framingham” card

Maart 7, 2020 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

Fighting Life charity event,

Maart 20^th at Sheraton Hotel

FRAMINGHAM, Massa. (Maart 4, 2020) – The long-awaited professional debut of decorated amateurAngel Gonzalez, Jr. will take place Friday night, Maart 20, on the “Fight Night In Framingham” card, presented by Shearns Boxing Promotions (SBP), at Sheraton Framingham Hotel in Framingham, Massachusetts.

“Fight Night In Framingham”, the first pro boxing event ever in Framingham, is being held for the benefit ofFighting Life, an after-school youth boxing and academic empowerment program, available 100-percent free of charge, to students beginning in elementary school through high school education.

Gonzalez hasn’t fought in three years, since he moved from his native Hartford, CT to Florida. “It took me a while to settle in after I moved to Florida,” Gonzalez explained. “I’ve been going to a gym and now I’m on track and coming back to turn pro. I have the talent for bigger and better things.”

The 26-year-olldf super flyweight had a 45-6 amateur-record, highlighted by three New England Golden Gloves, two Ringside National and 2014 National PAL championships.

The problem for Gonzalez, hoewel, is finding appropriate opponents, especially where he was a standout amateur. Right now, he’s still without a signed opponent, largely because there are so few 115-pound boxers in America outside of California and the Southwest. “Most super flyweights are from Mexico, Japan, or other foreign countries,” Gonzalez said. “It doesn’t matter to me who I fight. I can slug or box, depending on my opponent. If he’s taller, I’ll fight on the inside; if shorter, I’ll box from the outside. I’ll adjust to my opponent. My best punch is my right. It’s solid and deadly.”

“I’ve offered this fight to guys with 5 naar 10 fights and after consideration,” promoterChuck Shearns uitgelegd, “they have declined to fight Angel. These lower weight classes can be hard enough to match, never mind against Angel. What you find is that these smaller guys need to step up their competition earlier than other weight classes, because it’s simply a smaller pool of fighters. We will see what Angel has very early in his career.”

Two unbeaten pro “graduates” of the Fighting Life Boxing Program, super featherweightsTimmy Ramos (5-0-2, 5 KO) enNelson “Chino” Perez (2-0, 2 KO), zullen in actie, respectievelijk, in the main event and co-featured event.

Ramos, vechten uit Framingham, was a two-time New England Golden Gloves champion as an amateur. He is in the 6-round, main event against superCarlos Marrero, III (2-3-1), van Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Perez, who comes from nearby Marlboro, MA, is another New England Golden Gloves champion, who will be fighting Indianapolis lightweightDeWayne Wijsheid (7-52-2, 3 KO) in the 6-round. co-featured evenement. Perez faces

Boston heavyweightTracey Johnson (4-7-6), whose brother is past Olympian and reigning WBO super middleweight championDemetrius Andrade, gezichtenLarry “Hitman” Pryor (11-22-5, 5 KO) in een 6-ronde Bout.

TOMMY SANTIAGO LOOKS FOR MULTI-SPORT SUCCESS AND A KIDNEY FOR DAD

Februari 28, 2020 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

*Football standout to make pro debut on March 27 while his family’s story remains unfinished*

PHILADELPHIA, PA — Tommy Santiago, a standout high school football star and accomplished amateur boxer, will enter the ring for his first pro fight on March 27 bij 2300 Arena, and his dad will be in his corner.

To spectators, it’s another father-son team, made slightly more interesting because Tommy is the second Santiago son to turn pro. Brother Milton, Jr., is an undefeated lightweight.

That Milton Sr., can walk up the steps and wave the towel for his son belies the real story — one about a father who died and was brought back to life less than a year ago, who is waiting for a life-altering call. It’s a story about a mother who pulls double-duty to provide for her family and care for her husband. It’s about the son, a prodigal football talent, who sacrificed his spot at a top football high school to help keep his family afloat, and now is embarking on a professional boxing career. It’s a story about their past and current struggles, and the grit, determination and faith that has seen them through a slow, grinding, water torture-style drip of pain and adversity.

Een paar jaar geleden, the Santiago family had outgrown their two-bedroom home. With three teenage boys–Milton Jr., Tommy and young Nicco–they packed their home and moved into a fixer-upper in the suburbs. Milton, Sr., was a talented painter who had worked for some of the most prestigious home builders in Philadelphia.

Mom Brenda worked at a kitchen gadget manufacturing company for 20 jaar, where she climbed the ladder, wearing various hats and helping to provide a comfortable life for her family.

It was not long after their 2017 move that Milton Sr., began noticing he wasn’t himself. Over the next few years his health would deteriorate. Once a husky, active painter and boxing coach, he shriveled away. After bouncing from doctor to hospital, he received a dual diagnosis of kidney failure and an infection that had spread to his bones. Brenda went from being a working mom to a working mom and caregiver, waking up Milton, Jr., to help carry his dad to the car at 5:30 in each morning. She’d drive him to dialysis before work, and then take an early lunch each day to get him home.

Tommy enrolled at Archbishop Wood High School, a private, Catholic school in Warminster, PA, known for its elite football program; tuition was $9,000 per year. He was a star running back, scoring 20 touchdowns and gaining nearly 1700 yards as a Junior. Zijn jongere broer, a standout basketball player, also attended Archbishop Wood.

Wheelchair bound and unable to walk, Milton Sr., was embarrassed to go to his sons’ spelletjes. Brenda had to help him get to the bathroom and clean him. Milton Jr., put his career on hold to help care for his father. It was a dark time for the family; bills were piling up as Milton Sr., got sicker.

“I was embarrassed,” Milton, Sr., said of that time. “I was depressed and I kept wondering why this is happening to me and my family.”

Afgelopen mei, Milton, Sr., went in for a procedure to biopsy a growth in his lungs. When the doctor came out of the operating room and asked Brenda if she would join him in a consult room, she knew something had gone wrong. Milton, Sr., had stopped breathing for nearly two minutes during the procedure and had to be resuscitated. The doctor warned that there may be permanent brain damage.

It was an earth-shattering moment for the family.

“It was the worst moment of my life,” recalled Tommy. “When I walked in and saw my dad in the ICU, knowing he might never be the same, I just started crying. I couldn’t handle it.”

After two days in a medically induced coma, Milton, Sr., began to recover. Doctors finally found the right combination of antibiotics to begin to cure the infection that had decimated his body. Effects from the procedure continued to affect his daily life. Excruciating headaches at all hours and short term memory loss became the new normal.

After Tommy’s record-breaking Junior year, and after seeing the stress that his mother was under, Tommy made a decision. He chose to transfer to William Tennent High School–also in Warminster–cutting his family’s tuition bill in half, but virtually guaranteeing that the college offers he and his parents had dreamed of would never come.

“My mom told me she would find a way, but I didn’t want her to stress,” said Tommy.

Brenda is pained when she speaks of Tommy’s departure from Wood: “Tommy is very strong, and he’s taken a lot for the family. It’s a burden I have on me because I want to be able to give them everything. Milton’s dream was for Tommy to go to Wood – it devastated Tommy and us when he had to transfer.”

As he recovered, Milton, Sr., learned to walk again. Milton, Jr., still administers his father’s dialysis five times per week for six hours and they wait to be added to the kidney donor list. Boxes of equipment line the walls of their home, and the improvements they’d planned on making to their home remain on hold.

“Milton doesn’t want us to be his donor,” said Brenda. “I’m the breadwinner and I can’t afford to be off work. Milton doesn’t want the kids to compromise their athletic careers. And after what happened when he went under in May, there’s a lot of fear. So we wait.”

Her voice breaks when she talks about the day they find a donor for her husband, but she doesn’t mention how it would take the pressure off of her: “The day that it happens, I’ll be ecstatic. He just wants to live a normal life. He wants to be able to do normal things – werk, provide for his family. I will be so thankful to God that he answered our prayers.”

“It would mean the world to my family to find a donor,” said Tommy. “Everything he’s been through, the dialysis four hours per day, three days a week… it’s not easy. My mom stays up late to take care of him and gets up early the next day to go to work. She never gives up.”

The example that Milton Sr., and Brenda have set – one of sacrifice, mental strength, and unbelievable love and commitment to each other and their family has been ingrained in their sons.

“Seeing all they’ve been through has been hard, but it makes me want to go harder,” said Tommy. “I just want to be able to bring my family to the next level.”

He has aspirations of being an NFL player and professional boxer, concurrently. “I have received an offer from Villanova,” Tommy said. “I’ve applied at Temple and Penn State and plan to walk on to their football teams if I’m accepted.”

Maar eerst, another fight is on the horizon. A four-round, light-heavyweight contest with Angel Vasquez, van Springfield, MA, maart 27.

“Tommy told me that the reason he likes football and boxing is that he has a hatred inside, a frustration and resentment at everything our family has been through,” said Brenda. “I feel for the kid that’s going to fight Tommy. He’s training hard, and really wants it. He really wants to go out there and do things – He wants to help the family.”

When Tommy Santiago walks out to the ring on March 27, he walks with the burden of his family’s troubles, but with his father by his side. Als de bel gaat, he’ll hear only his father’s voice from his corner, and a new chapter begins in the complicated and painful story of the unbreakable Santiago family.

Son of Sandman Jarel Pemberton added to “Fight Night In Framingham” card

Februari 28, 2020 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

Fighting Life charity event,

Maart 20^th at Sheraton Hotel

FRAMINGHAM, Massa. (February27, 2020) – The son of Sandman, Jarel “Sandman” Pemberton, returns to the ring for the first time in nearly two years on the “Fight Night In Framingham” card, presented by Shearns Boxing Promotions (SBP), Maart 20, at Sheraton Framingham Hotel in Framingham, Massachusetts.

The 28-year-old super middleweight Pemberton (3-0, 1 KO), fighting out of Revere, MA, is the son of one of New England’s all-time favorite boxers, Scott Pemberton (29-5-1, 24 KO), the former NABF and IBU World super middleweight champion. Pemberton was a blood-and-guts, highly entertaining type fighter best remembered for a pair of Fight of the Year candidates versusOmar Sheika.

Scott named his son, Jarel, after Superman’s father, but he never forced him into boxing. “Me boxing had a lot to do with him,” Jarel said, “but he never pushed me into boxing. I did go to a lot of his fights when I was young.

“Dad saw a Superman movie and named me Jarel after Superman’s father. I think it’s a great name, it kind of shaped my life because I’m a real comic-book nerd today.”

Jarel played football and basketball at Dartmouth (MA) Hoog, where two of his teammates went on to play in the National Football League, Jordan Todman and close friendArthur Lynch. Jarel joined the U.S. Marines and he did two tours in Afghanistan as a machine gunner. He didn’t start boxing until after he was honorably discharged, turning pro at 27.

“I wish I started boxing when I was a kid,” he added, “but I didn’t box until after I got out of the military. People tell me I hit hard; I do have natural power.”

Pemberton, who is on the permanent reserve list to become a Revere Firefighter, is ready to get back in the ring on a regular basis, especially after being out of the ring nearly two years.

“I’m back in boxing for the long run,” he admitted. I’d like to fight a few times in the next few months. I’m getting in top shape for this fight and that’s a lot better than getting beat up in training by (22-0, 14 KOs welterweight from Lynn, MA) Rashidi Ellis. I’m bigger than him but he’s so fast.”

Pemberton is matched against veteran Texas fighterLarry “Slomoshun” Smith (10-43-1, 7 KO) in een 4-ronde Bout.

Two unbeaten pro “graduates” of the Fighting Life Boxing Program, super featherweightsTimmy Ramos (5-0-2, 5 KO) enNelson “Chino” Perez (2-0, 2 KO), are fighting in the main event and co-feature, respectively.

Ramos, vechten uit Framingham, was a two-time New England Golden Gloves champion as an amateur. He is in the 6-round, main event against superCarlos Marrero, III (2-3-1), van Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Perez, who comes from nearby Marlboro, is another New England Golden Gloves champion. He faces an opponent to be determined in the 6-round co-featured event. Perez faces Indianapolis lightweightDeWayne Wijsheid (7-52-2, 3 KO).

A pair of quality MMA fighters, Albania-born super middleweightKastriot “Slaughterhouse” Xhema, fighting out of Greenwich, CT, makes his pro boxing debut against Framingham favorite, Brazilian-bornSaul "The Spider" Almeida (0-10-3, 20-11 in MMA) in a 4-rounder.

Ongeslagen lichtgewicht prospect Jamaine "The Technician" Ortiz Set voor de thuiskomstgevecht van vrijdag

Februari 28, 2020 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

WORCESTER, Massa. (Februari 26, 2020) - Ongeslagen World Boxing Council (WBC) Jeugdwereldkampioen lichtgewichtJamaine "The Technician" Ortiz (12-0, 6 KO) is van plan om aanstaande vrijdag een belangrijke verklaring af te leggen als hij thuis in Worcester vecht, Massachusetts, voor het eerst als professionele bokser.

Ortiz kopt aCES Boksen op UFC FIGHT PASS® evenement, gepromoot door Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES), in het historische Worcester Palladium.

In de 8-ronde belangrijkste gebeurtenis, Ortiz wordt geconfronteerd met een Mexicaanse knock-outspecialist"Gekke" Luis Ronaldo Castillo (22-5, 17 KO), een voormalig WBC FECOMBOX lichtgewicht kampioen, in een niet-titelgevecht.

"Ik ben klaar,”Zei Ortiz na een recente open training. "Het is goed om zoveel steun te krijgen. Ik heb veel mensen die naar de gevechten komen. Naar mij, Ik heb maar één baan - winnen! En ik zou graag op spectaculaire wijze winnen. Ik wil iedereen in het Palladium en degenen die kijken op UFC FIGHT PASS laten zien dat het allemaal echt is, geen hype achter mijn naam. Iedereen die vrijdagavond kijkt, weet wat ik de ring in breng. "

Hij is een goede luisteraar met een grote handsnelheid, en hij schakelt (standpunten) gemakkelijk. En hij gelooft echt in zichzelf en het is moeilijk om zo iemand te verslaan. Ik kan het hart niet leren, maar dat heeft hij ook. Ik weet niet hoever hij kan gaan, nog niet, maar hij is getalenteerd en komt nog lang niet in de buurt van een afgewerkt product. "

De zwaargewichtbokser Darius Fulghum uit Houston zet de verpleegcarrière in de wacht om de Olympische droom na te streven

Februari 28, 2020 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

COLORADO SPRINGS, Ronde. (Februari 26, 2020) - Amateurboksers nemen vaak verschillende routes op hun persoonlijke reizen en zwaargewicht in HoustonDarius Fulghum heeft zijn carrière buiten de ring gezet om zijn boksdromen na te jagen.

Fulghum was een worstelaar op de middelbare school in Killeen, Texas. Hij begon in te boksen 2015 en ontwikkelde al snel een passie voor de “Sweet Science,”Grotendeels omdat het een eenpersoonssport is. Hij hoefde niet te vertrouwen op teamgenoten, liever uit eigen beweging winnen of verliezen. Hoewel hij getalenteerd genoeg was om een collegiale worstelaar te worden, het zou een te grote financiële belasting voor zijn gezin zijn geweest.

“Ik had die competitieve jeuk en was redelijk goed toen ik voor het eerst begon met boksen,”Zei Dariuis. 'Ik wist dat ik alles kon doen waar ik mijn zinnen op had gezet. Ik wil boksen opnieuw definiëren. Ik ben geen typische bokser die op straat is opgegroeid. Ik hou niet eens van vechten; Ik ben passief en heb nog nooit een straatgevecht gehad. "

De 23-jarige Fulghum heeft momenteel zijn zinnen erop gezet om zijn land te vertegenwoordigen op de Olympische Spelen van Tokio 2020. Pro-boksen zal volgen, maar, voor nu, hij traint hard om zich te kwalificeren voor deelname aan de Olympische Spelen door in de top drie te eindigen van het America's Qualification Tournament, 26 maart - april 3, in Buenos Aires, Argentinië. Er komt ook nog een "Last Chance" -mogelijkheid, indien nodig, bij de World Qualifier, Mei 13-14, in Parijs, waar de top drie zich ook kwalificeert voor de Olympische Spelen.

"Het is zo moeilijk om niet de hele tijd aan de Olympische Spelen te denken," hij geeft toe. “Ik probeer er niet te veel over na te denken, maar ik denk eraan omdat ik ervan heb gedroomd Olympiër te worden en ik ben nu zo dichtbij. Ik heb de offers gebracht om Olympiër te worden en dan blijf ik de rest van mijn leven Olympiër.

“Ik luister naar mijn coaches. In het heetst van de strijd, wanneer dingen het meest stressvol zijn, Ik voel me de underdog en presteer tot op het absolute moment. Het was do-or-die bij Olympic Trials. Ik weiger gewoon te verliezen. "

Fulgham reageerde zeker positief op de druk van de proeven, verwarrende pre-trials favorietAdrian Tillman in de openingsronde, en dan door tegenstanders rollen totdat hij de titel veiligstelde.

"Mensen kenden me niet,'Legde Fulgham uit. "Ik was de underdog omdat ik niet aan veel toernooien deelnam omdat ik meedeed (verpleging) school-. Mijn finales waren altijd in december (dezelfde tijd als USA Nationals). Ik had een pauze in mijn schema 2018, toen ik een gouden medaille won op het National Golden Gloves Tournament. Het is gewoon de manier waarop mijn schema is verlopen. Zo, Ik had niet in veel toernooien gevochten, maar ik kon naar binnen sluipen wanneer het er het meest toe deed. "

Fulghum nam onlangs deel aan zijn eerste internationale toernooi op het prestigieuze Strandja-toernooi in Bulgarije, het winnen van een van de twee wedstrijden. De ervaring, hoewel, was onbetaalbaar, mogelijk van carrière veranderen in termen van voorbereiding op de Olympische Spelen.

“Het was niet alleen mijn eerste internationale toernooi," hij schreef op, “Het was de eerste keer dat ik bokste zonder hoofddeksel (zoals het geval zal zijn op de Olympische Spelen), en ik vocht tegen jongens uit het buitenland met verschillende stijlen. Het was een geweldige ervaring, want nu ga ik niet blind voor de Olympische kwalificatie. "

Leden van het USA Boxing Olympic Qualification Team, zoals Fulghum, hebben pauze voordat ze terugkeren voor training met zijn teamgenoten in het Olympisch en Paralympisch trainingscentrum van de Verenigde Staten in Colorado Springs.

“Ik heb me daar afgelopen 2 januari voor het eerst gemeld en ik vind het geweldig,'Merkte Fulghum op. “Elke atleet droomt ervan om te trainen met topsporters zonder afleiding en topcoaches. ik word wakker, eten, slaap, train en doe dat de volgende dag opnieuw. Dat is mijn schema. "

Fulghum behaalde afgelopen mei zijn diploma verpleegkunde, maar nu en voor de nabije toekomst concentreert hij zich volledig op boksen.

“Ik stelde onderwijs voorop en haalde mijn diploma,'Besloot Fulgham. "Ik krijg altijd verpleging na het boksen. Maar ik droomde ervan om de hele school naar de Olympische Spelen te gaan. Ik heb het boksen in de wacht gezet en nu heb ik de verpleging opzij geschoven, zodat ik alles in het boksen kan steken. Ik wilde niet jongleren met verplegen en boksen. Ik zou op die manier ook niet de beste kunnen zijn.

“Ik ben van plan om prof te worden omdat ik zo van boksen hou. Ik moet boksen als ik jong ben. Ik ga zo ver als ik kan in het boksen en ik zal altijd borstvoeding krijgen. "

Darius Fulgham heeft een omslachtige weg in het leven genomen, van verpleging tot boksen. Het is het waard, hoewel, als hij het haalt naar Tokio als onderdeel van Team USA voor de 2020 Olympische Spelen.

Kendo “Tremendo” Castaneda In Florida for first time but on important business trip

Februari 28, 2020 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

This Friday showdown vs. unbeaten NABO champion Yomar “The Magic” Alamo

LAS VEGAS (Februari 27, 2020) – Undefeated super lightweightKendo "Enorme" Castaneda (17-0, 8 KO) flew into Orlando from his native San Antonio this past Tuesday night on his first visit to Florida.

Unlike millions of people who go to Orlando for Disneyworld, hoewel, Castaneda’s initial look at palm trees is simply part of his business trip. Castaneda challenges North American Boxing Organization (BUURMAN) kampioenYomar “The Magic” Alamo (17-0-1, 12 KO) in this Friday night’s 10-round main event, airing live on Boxeo Telemundo, vanaf 11:30 p.m. EN / 8:30 p.m. PT, from Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida.

Alamo vs. Castaneda is co-promoted by All-Star Boxing, which promotes Alamo and the event, and Castaneda’s promoter, Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boksen Promotions.

“It’s pretty cool here,” Castaneda shared his first impressions of Florida. “A guy working for the promoter met us at the airport to film my arrival and interview me, so it’s been a welcoming experience, and people in Florida know I’m in the house. I like it here. It’s nice and in a way, I feel like I’m at home. I’m going to put on a show for fans, I’m going to be like their Disney World. I’m ready for the big ride and to put on a great show for the people.”

Castaneda captured the vacant North American Boxing Association (Ook) crown a year ago, taking a 10-round decision from previously undefeatedGilbert Venegas, Jr.(10-0), and followed that with an impressive 10-round unanimous decision over Dominican veteranEudy Berbardo (24-3).

Last October in Reno, Nevada, Castaneda stoppedStan Martyniouk (20-3) in the sixth round, after which he was installed by the World Boxing Organization as its No. 15 rated super lightweight in the world.

WBO No. 8 ranked Alamo, fighting out of Puerto Rico, is coming off the only blemish on either fighter’s pro record, fighting to a draw withAntonio Moran (24-4-1).

Alamo, 24, is the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World and FECARBOX super lightweight champion, who has made three successful NABO title defenses.

“After this fight,” Castaneda concluded, “people are going to forget this Alamo (not the famous Alamo in Castaneda’s hometown) and remember me, The Tremendous One. I expect the fight t to end in a spectacular knockout in my favor, late in the fight, because I like to punish my opponent.”

Davtaev Replaces Otto Wallin, Who Was Forced To Withdraw Due To Minor Injury

NEW YORK – Februari 26 – Undefeated heavyweight power puncherApti Davtaev zal worden geconfronteerd met veteraanLucas Browne in the 10-round co-main event of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION on Saturday, Maart 28, live op Showtime(10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT) in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Park Theater at Park MGM in Las Vegas. Davtaev replaces heavyweight contender Otto Wallin, who was forced to suspend training and withdraw from his scheduled bout due to an injury to his foot.

From Kurchaloi, Rusland, Davtaev (20-0-1, 19 KO) has earned a 90-percent knockout ratio with his aggressive style and devastating power. The athletic, 30-year-old has remained active since moving his camp to the United States in 2017 after signing with Salita Promotions. He trains at Kronk Gym in Detroit, Mich., under the tutelage of SugarHill Steward, nephew of legendary Hall of Fame trainer Emanuel Steward.

“Otto suffered a minor injury and suspending training was the smart thing to do,” said Wallin’s promoter Dmitriy Salita. “He will be back in the ring in no time. Gelukkig, Apti was in top shape and ready to go. He is a gifted heavyweight and he’ll be on everyone’s radar after March 28.”

In his last outing on February 21, the six-foot-five-inch Davtaev handed previously unbeaten John Napari his first defeat with a vicious second-round knockout. A few weeks prior, Januari 10, he scored an impressive third-round stoppage over veteran Keith Barr. This is his fifth start in the U.S. and first nationally televised bout.

Fighting out of New South Wales, Australië, Browne (29-2, 25 KO) most recently scored a knockout victory over John Hopoate in November, his second win of 2019. He’s won four of his last five bouts, with his only career losses coming to Dillian Whyte and David Allen in the U.K. Browne won his first 25 pro gevechten, including a stoppage of Ruslan Chagaev in 2016 to capture a WBA Heavyweight Championship. Hij zal zijn U.S. debuut.

The three-fight SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION telecast features unbeaten former bantamweight world champion Luis Nery (30-0, 24 KO) taking on undefeated contender Aaron Alameda (25-0, 13 KO) in a WBC Super Bantamweight Title Eliminator main event. Rising light heavyweight prospects Joseph George (10-0, 6 KO) and Marcos Escudero (10-1, 9 KO) open the telecast with a 10-round rematch of their NovemberShoBox showdown that saw George win a narrow-split decision.
