LAS VEGAS (ژانویه 25, 2018) — KO Night Boxing LLC announced it has signed popular Canadian junior welterweight استیو “اژدها” Claggett به یک قرارداد تبلیغاتی منحصر به فرد.
The Las Vegas-based company also has 2016 Olympic bronze medalist and undefeated Wichita flyweight, نیکو هرناندز (3-0), 2 کوس), among its growing stable of professional boxers.
کلگت 28 ساله (26-4-1, 17 کوس), مبارزه از کلگری, is a fan-favorite because of his aggressive, non-stop style. Since the ultra-aggressive Claggett moved back down one division to junior welterweight, Claggett is a perfect 3-0 (1 ضربه فنی), از جمله یک جفت تصمیم برنده عنوان 10 دور نسبت به حریفانی که قبلاً شکست نخورده اند,ایو Ulysse, جونیور. (14-0) برای خالی فدراسیون بین المللی بوکس (IBF) عنوان فوق سبک وزن آمریکای شمالی, همچنین امانوئل روبلس (15-0-1) برای انجمن جهانی بوکس خالی (WBA) تاج فوق سبک وزن NABA USA.
“I’m excited to be signed by John Andersen and KO Night Boxing,” Claggett said. “There were no guarantees (without a promoter). I’ve always had the talent but never the structure. I’ll have that now, گرچه. It was always difficult making fights with long layoffs, dates falling through, and offers on short notice. I’ve only been able to show a little of what I’m capable. All I’ve ever wanted is a fair shake and this opportunity will allow me to show what I can do. This year is going to be big for me and KO Night Boxing.
“I’m just approaching my prime. I’ve only been working with my trainer, Vlad Goldenstein, for a little more than a year, اما من هستم 3-0 with him and have won two belts. من یک جنگنده قدیمی مدرسه هستم, action-packed and who brings the pace. This is a great for me and my boxing career.”
“We’re taking a big step in the right direction by signing Steve,” Claggett’s new promoter Andersen commented. “من بسیار هیجان زده هستم. Steve deserves this opportunity and we’re going to deliver for him.
“Steve is an action fighter, always coming forward, and he hasn’t been in a bad fight during the three years I’ve known him. He took a risk but really opened some eyes with his performance against Ulysse. What an accomplishment fighting an undefeated fighter in his backyard. He took a big risk and got a big win. And now he’s beaten the man (Ulysse) who has beaten the man (21-0 Cletus Seldin, WDEC10, دسامبر. 16, 2017 در HBO). Steve’s undefeated on this run as a junior welterweight, beating two previously unbeaten opponents, and he deserves more recognition and a shot at a big fight.”
“Steve’s an animal in the squared circle and the farthest thing from it outside the ring,” Claggett’s manager Max Matheny اضافه. “He has all the attributes of a champion. His boxing IQ and ability to adapt under pressure makes Claggett a serious challenge. He can beat anybody in the division on any given night. We’ve had a multitude of promotional offers to consider at the end of a strong 2017 and are very excited to align with KO Night Boxing. They are going to give us the opportunities to show the world how good ‘The Dragon’ واقعاً هست. His signature is turning into an autograph in 2018, mark my words.”
 The boxing irony is that Ulysse, not Claggett, is now world ranked. Considering the half-Chinese, half-European Claggett beat Ulysse in his Montreal hometown, Steve proved that he’ll fight anybody, هر کجا, unlike many fighters who make that claim but don’t back it up. “Me and my team aren’t afraid to fight anybody,” he spoke about his most significant fight to date. “آن را در آورد! I’m willing to fight in hostile territory against an A-side fighter. We don’t pick and choose. Too many fighters pad their records, but that only upsets fans, and delays fights. I’m looking for tough fights to judge how much I’ve grown. I’d love to fight the top guys.
“My fight with Ulysse was my biggest but not best fight. I thought I boxed a little robotic and fell back into some old habits. I’d give myself a B- for that fight. I got the win and put on a great show that was fast paced. Ulysse and Robles box, run and move. I’d like an opponent who comes to me, stays in the pocket, and fights. I know it’ll be a helluva fight.”
Maybe Claggett’s next fight will be on a higher platform, شاید, against a legitimate fighter’s fighter like Steve.
