QUINCY, Massa. (Novembre 10, 2022) – Former New England Welterweight Champion Mike Ohan, Jr. (16-1, 9 KO) is preparing for his potential career-changing fight on December 10th contro 2020 U.S. Olympian Tiger Johnson (6-0, 4 KO) presso il famoso Madison Square Garden di New York City.

Johnson vs. Ohan, Jr. is a scheduled 8-round welterweight match on a Top Rank card, headlined by a Heisman Night fight featuring Teofimo Lopez against Jose Pedraza, which will be streamed live on ESPN+.

Ohan, Jr. isn’t overly concerned about fighting a much-hyped prospect, who is promoted by event promoter Top Rank,, at the mecca of boxing on a much larger viewing platform.

“I’ll embrace it,” Ohan, Jr. “I’ve fought a lot of top guys in the amateurs like Jamaine Ortiz, who just fought Vasiliy Lomachenko. I feel like I belong at the top level with them, but they started competing earlier than me in the amateurs. Ero 16-17 and had a lot of catching up to do.

“This is what all the years of me working so hard has been for. It’s been a dream of mine even as a kid, before I started boxing. It’s starting to payoff; I need to executive the game plan on fight night.”

“I couldn’t be prouder of Mike and what he has accomplished so far in boxing,” Ohan’s promoter, Granite Chin president Chris Traietti commented. “He’s a great guy with great work ethic, and he has a ton of heart. He jumped all over this opportunity when it was presented. This is why guys fight; to hopefully get a chance to shine at an event like this at Madison Square Garden. Mike grinded and grinded, now he has his well-deserved opportunity at stardom.”

Ohan, Jr. is the son of a retired pro boxer, (14-6-2, 11 KO), who served as a sparring partner for the great Marvelous Marvin Hagler.

The 24-year-old Johnson, fighting out of Cleveland, era un U.S pluridecorato. amateur boxer who was a member of the 2020 .Squadra olimpica di boxe USA. He was a 2-time winner of the USA National Championships (2016 & 2017), così come una medaglia d'oro al 2016 AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships, e 2014 USA Junior Olympic National Championships.

“He’s a great fighter,” Ohan, Jr. talked about his upcoming opponent. “Everything he does, he’s excellent at, not just good. I have to bring my A game to prove I belong. All the greats have adjusted to the situation and that’s what I have to do. I’ve put in all the blood, sudore e lacrime. Whatever he throws, Sarò pronto. "

Fighting in Madison Square Garden is the ultimate venue for Ohan, Jr. along with most fighters. Some may feel that the cards are stacked against Ohan, Jr., but he clearly isn’t worried about all the hoopla associated with fighting at MSG on ESPN+ against the event promoter’s highly touted boxer.

“It’s just going to be me and him in the ring,” Ohan, Jr. concluso. “Madison Square Garden is an historic place. Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Robinson…all the greats have fought there. I love boxing history and I’m blessed to be fighting there. I do live closer to New York City than him and I’m sure people will come out for me.

"Alla fine del giorno, anche se, everybody will know who I am. An impressive performance will raise my stock, but I’m going in the ring to win!"

QUINCY, Massa. (Maggio 3, 2022) – New Bedford imbattuta (MA) prospettiva dei pesi massimi leggeri Edet Mkapanam (6-0, 5 KO) sta combattendo contro gli interventi chirurgici alla retina e alla spalla che lo hanno messo da parte 16 mesi prima che il suo anello di successo ritorni lo scorso marzo.


Il 27enne Mkapanam affronta Scott "Bombz" Scott a maggio 7th Carta della regalità della città natale, presentato da Granite Chin Promotions in associazione con Cappiello Boxing Promotions e Shearns Boxing Promotions, al Bridgewater Veterans Club di Bridgewater, Massachusetts (85 Cottage S.), segnando il primo evento di boxe professionistico mai tenuto in quella città.


Cresciuto a Brockton, conosciuta come la “Città dei Campioni, Mkapanam ha avuto una carriera amatoriale abbreviata (8-3), anche se è stato un vincitore dei pesi massimi nel 2017 Torneo Rocky Marciano, nonché secondo classificato un anno dopo nel prestigioso New England Golden Gloves Championships.


Mkapanam ha subito interventi chirurgici back-to-back, a cominciare da un legamento strappato alla spalla, seguito da un intervento chirurgico per riparare la retina nell'occhio destro.


“Non ho avuto molta carriera amatoriale e ho imparato sul lavoro (come un pro),” ha spiegato Mkapanam. “Ho imparato in palestra ad allenarmi con alcuni dei migliori combattenti del New England come Peter Manfredo, Jr. e Marco Deluca. Nella mia mente, Volevo continuare a lottare e ho continuato a lavorare sodo in palestra mentre mi riprendevo. Alcuni medici hanno detto che non avrei dovuto combattere di nuovo, così ho aumentato la mia intensità in palestra, e quando sono stato visitato di nuovo i medici hanno detto che il mio occhio era molto meglio e che ero autorizzato a combattere. Ho avuto un duro campo di addestramento prima del mio ultimo incontro, il primo dopo i miei interventi chirurgici, e non stavo nemmeno pensando al mio occhio durante quel combattimento.


Mkapanam sembrava relativamente acuto nella sua marcia 19th lotta di ritorno, fermando il combattente di debutto professionista Igor Pessoa nel terzo round della loro lotta a Derry, New Hampshire.
Ora, Edet è in missione per recuperare il tempo perso.


“Ho lavorato al mio jab e ad altre cose,"Lui ha detto. “Il mio obiettivo è combattere su palchi più grandi, che è uno dei motivi con cui ho firmato (Granito Chin promotore) Chris Traietti. Rispetto Scott Lampert, ma sono a un livello completamente diverso nella boxe del New England, e lo dimostrerò in questa lotta. So che Chris mi darà l'opportunità di combattere su palchi più grandi".


“Edet era qualcuno con cui mi interessava lavorare in passato, ma poi le sue ferite sono accadute prima che potessimo concludere formalmente un accordo,Il presidente di Granite Chin Chris Traietti ha spiegato. “Una volta che mi ha contattato e mi ha detto che era autorizzato a combattere di nuovo, Non ho perso tempo a fargli un'offerta per sospirare con Granite Chin. Edet è un bravo ragazzo che lavora sodo e vuole combattere. Abbiamo parlato di un piano di gioco per la sua carriera. Siamo entrambi sulla stessa pagina e lo vedrai su un grande palco nel prossimo futuro.

L'ex campione dei pesi welter del New England Mike "Bad Man Ohan, Jr. (14-1, 8 KO), di Holbrook, MA, titoli "Hometown Royalty" nel main event di 8 round contro l'avversario argentino Jose "El Chino" Aubel (8-9, 7 KO).

Atlanta middleweight Antonio Todd, Jr. Riding high after upsetting WBC No. 10 rated Hugo Centeno

ANTONIO TODD PHOTO 2.jpg
QUINCY, Massa. (Gennaio 26, 2022) – Last Saturday night in Detroit, Atlanta middleweight Antonio Todd, Jr. registered his career-defining victory, upsetting World Boxing Council (WBC) Non. 10-rated Hugo “The Boss” Centeno, Jr. by way of a 10-round majority decision in the main event.

The 27-year-old Todd, fighting out of Atlanta, won on two of the three judges’ scorecards, 97-93 e 96-94, as the other had it a 95-95 disegnare. More impressive was Todd defeating a fighter who is under contract to the event promoter, Dmitriy Salita.

“It was the biggest win of my career, finora,” Todd said. “It means a lot for my career in terms of taking me to the next level. I feel that I won the fight by unanimous decision and, if he hadn’t started moving around, I could have stopped him. But this is boxing, you need to take chances to be great.

“I want to fight anybody, anybody in the 160-pound division, fighting bigger names on television. I’m ready now! I think real fighters or those confident in their skills will be the guys who step up. We do have a couple names in mind.”

Todd is promoted by rising New England-based Granite Chin Promotions, owned, and operated by Chris Traietti.

“The way Antonio handled himself throughout the whole process leading up to the Centano fight is a testament to his character and drive,” Traietti commented. "All'inizio, the fight was on, then off, then back on again. Poi, Centeno was over the weight limit. Despite all of this, Antonio and his trainer, Lionel Harris, just stayed focused on the fighting part of all this, leaving the behind-the-scenes stuff to me, and he delivered a career-defining performance. Per 10 rounds he brought pressure, used his world-class jab, and pulled off a beautiful complete win.”
Todd concluded, “I love being promoted by Chris. It’s great being part of his Granite Chin team and him being part of my team.”

I have the roster now where I can both develop fighters and put on high quality local shows. 2020 was about making good relationships with other promoters and matchmakers; 2021 about developing a quality roster and keeping guys busy during a pandemic. 2022 is going to be geared towards becoming the face of quality local boxing shows and getting Granite Chin fighters on high-level, world-class cards all across the country.”

“Ten rounds means a lot to me,” Ohan said. “It’s something I’ve watched my entire life because all legends fought 10-rounders. This is special for me. I’m ready to go and I will outclass my opponent.”

Ohan captured the vacant New England title last November, when he won an 8-round unanimous decision over Ryan Dibartolomeo, followed by a successful title defense in his last fight in June, when challenger Tyrone Luckey retired after the five rounds.

My father’s supportive and he goes to my fights. I fell in love with boxing right away and I feel even stronger about it today.”

Ohan’s birth name is Ohanian, but he is Irish. “It’s in my blood,” he explained. “It goes back to the old bare-knuckle days. My father is Irish on his mother’s side, Armenian on his father’s. My grandmother is Irish on both sides. Così, I have a lot of Irish in me from my parents.”
