即时发布: 米尔福德, 新罕布什尔州 (六月 7, 2021) - 新英格兰战斗 (NEF) 今天宣布格斗促销活动将在下一次活动中回归, “NEF 44: 回到黑色,“ 在八月 21, 2021. 该节目将起源于米尔福德的汉普郡圆顶, 新罕布什尔州，将混合武术 (MMA) 和跆拳道比赛. 这将是 NEF 在花岗岩州期待已久的首秀, 这也将是自春季 COVID-19 大流行以来促销活动的第一场活动 2020.
NEF 之前安排的活动, “NEF 43: 乱闹,” 受疫情影响无限期延期, 仍在 UMaine Orono 的柯林斯艺术中心等待重新安排的日期. NEF 高管希望该日期将在秋季晚些时候, 但截至发稿时，他们仍在等待缅因州格斗体育局关于重新开放该州 MMA 和拳击赛事监管的决定，不受限制.
“拳手和球迷已经等得够久了,” NEF 发起人兼共同所有人 Nick DiSalvo 宣布。 “缅因州尚未完全开放格斗体育赛事, 汉普郡圆顶体育场和新罕布什尔州拳击委员会提供了一个绝佳的机会，让拳击手在夏天结束之前重新回到笼子里并重新活跃起来。”
NEF 今天进一步宣布，在米尔福德举行的“NEF 44”卡的第一场比赛将是一场业余次中量级冠军争夺战。邓肯“高地人”史密斯 (5-3), 自 6 月以来一直保持促销的 170 磅冠军 2018, 计划对抗排名第一的竞争者迈克“全班”贝赞森 (5-0).
“Coming out of COVID we’re going to find out who really wants it and is serious about accelerating in the sport,“说NEF共同拥有和媒人马特·彼得森. “Who was working during quarantine, grinding away in their basements and garages and backyards and getting better while the world was shut down? Duncan and Bezanson both believe they are those guys and we’re going to find out on August 21st. These are two of the best in the Northeast welterweight division and I can’t wait to see which one proves that they are ready to punch through into the professional division before the end of 2021.”
Reigning champion Duncan Smith is a perfect 3-0 in the NEF cage. His last defense of the title was at “NEF 38” in April 2019 when he defeated John Tefft (2-1) via unanimous decision. Smith represents Evolution Athletix based in Saco, 缅因.
“I’ve never felt more complete and confident in all aspects of living,” said Smith. “I am extremely excited to showcase my skills against a game opponent before I enter the pro ranks. A lot can change in two years.”
Undefeated Mike Bezanson is regarded by many as one of the most exciting competitors on the entire New England scene. He is known for his flashy striking style and explosive finishes. Bezanson represents Team Kaze of Lancaster, 新罕布什尔州.
“I’ve been sitting like a caged lion this last year because of COVID,” stated Bezanson when reached for comment. “Waiting eagerly for everything to open up just like everyone else. I’m very excited to be able to get back in there to perform for everyone! I can assure you this will be the same game plan as all my previous fights. I’m going in there for two reasons, to knock out whoever is in front of me and walk out with a belt over my shoulder.”
“With everything opening up and restrictions being lifted, there is a lot to get excited about,” said Bezanson’s coach and Kaze Dojo owner Greg Williams. “That being said, nothing excites me more than seeing Mike Bezanson bringing his unique brand of violence back to the NEF cage! He is a rare talent and I believe he will eventually realize himself on the highest level. Another amateur belt is just icing on the cake. We all look forward to seeing New England’s best amateur 170 prospect and how he has evolved in the past year!”
