RAHMAN TO FACE IMES ON UNDERCARD OF BLOCKBUSTER SHOBOX EVENT
نیویورک (مارس 27, 2017) – When promoter Greg Cohen announced he had finalized arrangements for his next event, the decision to delay his promising heavyweight hopeful, Hasim Rahman Jr.را, professional boxing debut two more weeks became an easy one.
Originally scheduled to turn professional on March 23, Baltimore native Rahman will now have his first four-round fight in front of a huge contingent of hometown family and friends on جمعه, آوریل 14, در MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, MD.
Rahman will face Kansas City’s Brian Imes (1-4, 1 ضربه فنی) on the non-televised undercard portion of an event that features the live telecast of undefeated دیمیتری بیول defending his interim WBA Light Heavyweight title در برابر ساموئل کلارکسون in the 12-round main event of a ShoBox: نسل جدید tripleheader (10 p.m. و/PT). در همکاری ویژگی, unbeaten welterweight prospects خوان روئیز و ملک هاوکینز will square off in an eight-round bout, and Baltimore’s undefeated featherweight گلن دزورن will open the telecast.
بلیط برای رویداد, which is co-promoted by جوایز گرگ کوهن و تبلیغات بنر در ارتباط با جهانی بوکس و Uprising Promotions, در قیمت $103, $73 و $48 و قابل خریداری در www.TicketMaster.com.
“You only get one pro debut, so when Greg announced this show, he and I thought it would be a great idea for me to turn pro on this show instead, in front of my hometown friends and family,” explained Rahman.
25 ساله, son of Hasim “سنگ” رحمان, who famously knocked out Lennox Lewis in April 2001 to win the WBC and IBF Heavyweight Championships, says to being at home is a very important part of his mission.
“I’m doing this for my family and my friends and my city, so I think I should start right in front of them,” Rahman continued. “And someday I’ll bring them back the heavyweight championship. I can’t wait to fight on the same show as my brother with all my loved ones watching. It’s going to be a very big night.”
“We didn’t get the final word we were doing the Maryland show until a few days ago,” گفت: گرگ کوهن. “But once we knew it was happening, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to let Hasim Jr. turn pro at home. It just worked out perfectly.”
