NEW YORK (Decembris 7, 2018) -Undefeated welterweight prospect Brian Ceballo returns home for the 1st time as a professional when he takes on 38-fight veteran, Daniel Calzada this Saturday night at The Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden.
The 24 year-old from New York City has a record of 5-0 ar trim knockouts.
The scheduled six-round part will be part of the undercard, which will be streamed live beginning at 6 p.m. eastern time on ESPN+.
Ceballo, who was a five-time New York Golden Gloves champion and took home a staggering 17 National titles, tiek veicināta 360 Promotions, has been kept very active as this will be his 6th fight in nine fights since turning professional in March.
“It’s great to be fighting at home, and especially being able to fight at Madison Square Garden as a professional boxer,” said Ceballo. “I would like to thank my close team for this opportunity including my coaches Colin Morgan & Khuong Chau, Split-T Management, 360 Promotions, and Top Rank!

TORONTO (Decembris 7, 2018) — Former British light heavyweight champion Hosea Burton has never been one to duck a fight. Patiesībā, he’s looking for a fight.
Burton has made his intentions known, calling out undefeated Anthony Yarde, man to man, to his face. The two recently encountered one another during Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder fight week in Los Angeles, Kalifornija, where Burton was on-hand to support his cousin, Dusmas.
“Let’s make the fight happen,” Burton told Yarde. “We’re both excited about it. They say I’m not up to you, but let’s get it going man.” Burton has gone undefeated for two years, since suffering his lone career defeat at the hands of Frank Buglioni, a fight in which he was winning prior to a final round stoppage. Buglioni has recently retired from the sport, leaving Burton to set his sights on Yarde, rather than avenging his defeat first.
Yarde recently scored a knockout victory over Walter Sequeira, Oktobris 20 in Brentwood, improving his record to 17-0 ar 16 knockouts. Burton, tomēr, hasn’t been impressed.
“If he’s six foot, I must be six foot nine, because he’s a lot shorter than that,” Burton said of Yarde’s stature. “I would be his first live opponent. Let’s get it on.”
Yarde’s world ranking would play well into Burton’s plans in 2019, which include fighting for a world title after recapturing his domestic gold.
“This would be one of the biggest domestic light heavyweight fights in UK history. Everyone is already placing Yarde amongst the world’s best, but the fact is, he has to get past Hosea,” noted Adam Harris of Athlete Development and Management. “We believe Hosea is the one who’s ready to go after a world title. Let’s have it out and find out who’s right.”
Burton also plans on showcasing his skills in Canada in the new year, following in the footsteps of his cousin Tyson, the lineal heavyweight champion of the world.
Both Tyson and his cousin, Hughie Fury, fought in Canada early in their pro careers, and have held training camps in the Great White North as well. “Some of the best in the world have been coming to Canada to accelerate their careers,” Harris noted, “including Billy Joe Saunders before his most recent fights and, protams, Tyson in the past. We have a special relationship with the country, and the fight scene in Toronto is booming in a way we’ve never seen before. We have no doubt Hosea will be appreciated and find plenty of competition north of the border.”

A year ago, Shohjahon “Shoh” Ergashev was a little-known super lightweight prospect from Central Asia.
Tomēr, being able to punch holes in brick walls has a way of helping people remember your name and the Uzbekistani power puncher has taken the boxing world by storm this year.
Ar vairāk 300,000 followers on Instagram and his brutal knockout videos on YouTube regularly getting over 500,000 skatījumi, 2018 is Shoh time.
Promoted by Salita Promotions, boxing’s Russian diamond mine, Ergashev (14-0, 13 Kos) has recently signed a co-managerial deal with TV executive turned super manager Mark Taffet. He will be looking to further his growing reputation on December 14 in a 10-round showdown against Uganda’s Badru Lusambya (26-4-2, 24 Kos) in Krasnodar, Krievija.
“I am very happy to be able to show my skills to my fans in Russia on December 14 and I am training hard for a great victory,Teica Ergaševs. “Nothing will stop me from realizing my dreams!" The showdown against Lusambya will be Ergashev’s fifth ring appearance this year (4-0, 3 Kos). He started the year with an impressive nationally televised TKO 3 over then 18-0 Sonny Fredrickson.
“Shohjahon has had a tremendous year fighting both in the US and Russia on a consistent basis,” said Dmitriy Salita of Salita Promotions. “His skills, power and charisma are making him a star on both continents. I look forward to a spectacular performance against Lusambya to end the year.”
26-year-old Ergashev is the current WBA International Super Lightweight Champion. His brand-new co-manager Mark Taffet says he appreciates the Uzbek’s willingness to take on dangerous opponents anywhere and any time.

Middleweight Contender Willie Monroe Jr. Talks Upcoming Showdown Against Jermall Charlo Saturday, Decembris 22 in Premier Boxing Champions on FOX & FOX Deportes Action from Barclays Center in Bruklina “I’m in my stable now and I’m ready to come flying out of the gate on December 22,” – Monroe
ROCHESTER,NY. (Decembris 4, 2018) – Middleweight contender and former title challengerWillie Monroe Jr. discussed his upcoming contest against WBC Interim Middleweight ChampionJermall Charlo as he prepares to enter the ring in Premier Boxing Champions action Saturday, Decembris 22 live on FOX and FOX Deportes from Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™.
With fight night approaching, Monroe is hard at work in his hometown of Rochester,Ņujorka. Along with his coach Timothy Nolan, Monroe believes he is on track to deliver a great performance against an unbeaten opponent.
“Everything in camp right now is on point and moving forward,” said Monroe.”We’re getting the work we need each day. We know how to run a camp smoothly. If I can’t tell anything is wrong, then it’s going great.”
A
veteran of two middleweight world title contests against Gennady Golovkin and
Billy Joe Saunders, Monroe has had his eye on a Charlo matchup to once again
prove himself against an elite middleweight.
“I’ve
always watched Jermall’s fights because I have an eye on anyone around my
weight class,” said Monroe. “Over the last year or so I’ve started to
think I’m really going to get this fight and I’m excited about it coming to
fruition on December 22.
“He’s
considered one of the top middleweights and it makes this a great match. This
time I’m going to have a full training camp like I didn’t get to have for
Golovkin and Saunders and it’s going to help me.”
While
he doesn’t possess the prodigious knockout power of his opponent, Monroe is
more than confident that his other ring attributes will make up for that
difference.
“We’re
both at the top of the division and you don’t get this far without having a lot
of physical ability,” said Monroe. “This fight isn’t about who’s the
fastest and strongest though, it’s about how we’re going to execute. I’m not
focused on who hits harder but who hits smarter. That’s always going to
determine who wins a boxing match.
“Boxing
is about intelligence first and everything follows after that. Will I be able
to execute and make Jermall uncomfortable? We’ll see what happens on fight
night. I’m going to be ready though. I’m in my stable now and I’m ready to come
flying out of the gate on December 22.”
Charlo
was serving as color commentator for Monroe’s August fight on FS1 and since
then the two have gone face-to-face at two separate press events leading up to
fight night. With fight week looming, Monroe believes the frequent face time
will make an even more exciting fight.
“I’m
definitely more eager to fight from seeing Jermall over and over again,”
said Monroe. “The little things that you pick up in person tend to make
you want to fight even more. You see the opponent and you build it up more in
your head and use it for motivation. I think it’s going to make it even more
entertaining when we finally get in there.”
