The fighters will be overseen by legendary boxing coach Freddie Roach, and renowned Philadelphia trainer Naazim Richardson.

“With this new iteration of Die Contender, the focus is on the gritty, personal stories of the fighters battling for boxing glory,” said Michael Wright, President, EPIX. “It was important for us to find individuals who not only displayed the boxing chops and resilience in the ring, but who also showed a depth of heart and humor outside of it. Ons 16 fighters are vivacious, tough, funny, sensitive, driven and inspiring, and we are excited for our fans to get to know their stories and root for them inside the ring and out.”

 

 

 

Die 16 Contenders come from a wide variety of professional boxing backgrounds and stations in life, bringing their unique stories, personalities, strengths and motivations to the series.

 

 

 

Each fighter will be vying to be declared the new 160-pound middleweight champion of Die Contender and take home the winner’s six-figure purse — a prize, wat, for all the fighters, represents a better life for their families and loved ones who have been there with them through all the ups and downs of their journeys.

  • Tyrone “Young Gun” Brunson, Ouderdom: 33, Rank: 39, Tuisdorp: Philadelphia, PA – At a time when he needed to sell drugs to support himself at the age of 13, a stepfather’s ultimatum: be grounded or go to the boxing gym was his saving grace.

  • Devaun “Unique” Lee, Ouderdom: 30, Rank: 82, Tuisdorp: Jamaica Queens, N.Y..

When one of his friends was shot and killed at 16, Devaun “Unique” Lee knew he needed a way out from the mean streets of Queens. Boxing keeps him straight. So do long hours fueling airplanes and caring for his five year old daughter. The real love of his life. Fatherhood and the sport are the motivation to take his NY State Middleweight championship to the next level.

 

 

The original Contender series ran for four seasons (2005-2009) and launched multiple fighters into contention for world titles, including title winners Sergio Mora, Cornelius Bundrage, Saki Bul, and Sam Soliman.

CHAMPION VS. CHAMPION – GEGARD MOUSASI-RORY MACDONALD MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT, PLUS ‘RAMPAGE’ JACKSON-WANDERLEI SILVA IV HIGHLIGHT FIRST EVENT OP September. 29 FROM SAP CENTER AT SAN JOSE

 

LOS ANGELES – Bellator, a leading global combat sports franchise owned by Viacom, home to the world’s premier entertainment brands, and DAZN, the world’s largest dedicated live sports streaming service and part of Perform Group, today announced a multi-year landmark distribution agreement.

 

 

 

The nine-figure deal will feature seven exclusive stacked fight cards per year on DAZN and another 15 that are simulcast across Paramount Network and DAZN. All fights will stream in any country where DAZN is available. As part of the platform’s global expansion, DAZN will launch in the U.S. and Italy in 2018, with the service already live in Canada, Duitsland, Austria, Switzerland and Japan.

 

 

 

“The exciting new partnership with DAZN is a game-changer for Bellator,” said Bellator President Scott Coker. “The investment will enable us to continue expanding our roster with free agents that make sense, so we can put on PPV-worthy fight cards that fans want to see. Meer, on DAZN’s worldwide platform, our fights will be seen live for the first time to new audiences around the globe.”

 

 

 

“It’s simple; fans want to see great fighters in competitive fights so we’ve handed the keys to Scott Coker and his venerable team to go out and recruit even more top-level talent to further stack Bellator fight cards and build on their success,” said DAZN CEO James Rushton. “With the combination of this investment and our recent announcement to bring more than 30 nights of boxing to the platform annually, DAZN will be a must-have for fight fans in the U.S.”

 

 

 

“The DAZN partnership speaks to the incredible growth of Bellator into a global sports powerhouse and high-valued franchise in the Viacom portfolio,” said Kevin Kay, President, Paramount Network, TV Land and CMT.

 

 

 

The deal begins with an epic event on Saterdag, Sewe. 29 from SAP Center at San Jose. The card features a highly anticipated middleweight title fight pitting Gegard Mousasi (44-6-2) teen Rory MacDonald (20-4), who is moving up a weight class for a title shot against the 185-pound champ, along with the fourth fight in the legendary rivalry between Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (37-13) en Wanderlei Silva(35-13).

 

 

 

Also included on Sewe. 29, will be the opening fight of Bellator’s first-ever Welterweight World Grand Prix, which will feature eight of the best welterweight fighters on the planet. The Bellator Welterweight World Grand Prix will be a major component of the first year of the multi-year agreement between Bellator and DAZN.

 

 

 

An exclusive online presale for this event takes place tomorrow, Junie 27 through Thursday, Junie 28, with tickets going on sale to the general public on Vrydag, Junie 29 by 10 voormiddag. PT. Tickets start at just $30 and will be available at the ThreatMetrix Ticket Office at SAP Center at San Jose, sowel as Bellator.com and Ticketmaster.

 

 

 

The event will air live on DAZN at 10 namiddag. EN/7 namiddag. PT. Additional bouts will be announced in the coming weeks. DAZN, which now streams 15,000 live events and 100 million hours of sports content globally each year, will be available in the U.S. this September with exact pricing and dates being announced this summer.

 

Mousasi vs. MacDonald:

 

 

 

Gegard Mousasi impressed in his promotional debut over former Bellator middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko, a win that earned him a shot at Rafael Carvalho, where 185-pound gold was on the line. Nou, after a decisive victory against Carvalho at Bellator 200, Mousasi will defend his crown against Rory MacDonald, entering the bout with his current unbeaten streak at seven fights. “The Dreamcatcher,” who trains out of The Netherlands, holds one of the most impressive resumes in all of the sport, at one time winning the STRIKEFORCE light heavyweight title, as well as the DREAM light heavyweight and middleweight titles.

 

 

 

Over the last several years, “The Red King” Rory MacDonald has become the most popular Canadian mixed martial artist due to his classic stand-up wars and wins over some of MMA’s best in Paul Daley, Nate Diaz, Tyron Woodley, B.J. Penn and Demian Maia. Bellator’s welterweight champion joined the Viacom-owned promotion in 2016 and went on to defeat Douglas Lima for the welterweight title at Bellator 192. Nou, the Tristar Gym-trained fighter sets his sights on winning gold in not one, but two separate weight classes.

 

“Rampage” vs. Silva:

 

 

A six-fight veteran of Bellator, “Rampage” Jackson’s legendary career has seen him compete against some of the top names in the sport, generating a loyal army of fans along the way. The former PRIDE and UFC champion is the proud owner of many epic highlight reel slams and knockouts that he has racked up throughout his epic battles with the likes of Chuck Liddell, Dan Henderson, “King Mo,” Kevin Randleman and, perhaps most-notably, his trilogy with fellow Bellator athlete Wanderlei Silva, who he now meets at heavyweight on Sewe. 29.

 

 

Wanderlei Silva’s wars with “Rampage,” Tito Ortiz, Mirko Cro Cop, Vitor Belfort, Dan Henderson, Kazushi Sakuraba, Chuck Liddell and Michael Bisping remain some of the more memorable bouts in MMA history. “The Axe Murderer” is far from ready to close the book on his illustrious career, returning to action against a man he has already competed against three times before. In addition to the PRIDE middleweight title, Silva’s trophy case includes awards for “Fight of the Year” (2003, 2004, 2007), KO van die Jaar (2008) and multiple “Fight of the Night” awards. Mees onlangs, the Brazilian native made his Bellator debut against Chael Sonnen in the main event of Bellator: NYC.

 

Updated Bellator Fight Card:

JARON ENNIS vs. ARMANDO ALVAREZ – 10-Round Welterweight Bout

Ennis will debut on ShoBox following a statement second round knockout of former junior welterweight contender Mike Arnaoutis earlier this month, sy 10ste consecutive KO victory. The Philadelphia native had a standout amateur career, notching an impressive record of 58-3 and winning the 2015 National Golden Gloves tournament. Ennis, who was ranked No. 1 as an amateur at 141 pond, narrowly missed the opportunity to represent the U.S. in die 2016 Olympics after losing a box-off to Gary Antuanne Russell at the Olympic Trials.

 

 

 

“This is the opportunity I have been waiting for,” Ennis said. “I can’t wait to show the world my talent.”

 

 

 

Net 20 jaar oud, Ennis currently trains under his father Derek “Bozy” Ennis Sr., who also trained his other sons Derek Jr. and Farah. The 5-foot-10 Ennis will be the third brother to appear on ShoBox; Derek Jr. appeared on the series in 2007, and Farah faced Badou Jack on the series in 2013.

 

 

 

“A win on this platform would mean everything,” Ennis continued. “From here on out, I want to fight only the big names in the division. I feel grateful for this opportunity to show the world my talents and skills. It’s great to follow in my brother’s footsteps, and I am ready to take the Ennis last name to the next level.”

 

 

 

The 28-year-old Alvarez turned professional in 2014 and has gradually increased his level of opposition. Alvarez, who now lives in Key West, compiled a 26-4 amateur record and won the Florida State Championship in 2013. His headlining fight with Ennis will be his second fight of 2018 and by far his toughest test to date.

 

 

 

“This is the biggest opportunity I have ever received,” Alvarez said. “This is it. It’s on. Ennis is a great young fighter, but I think he has stepped out of his league. He is just a kid. The world will find out who Armando Alvarez is on July 20.”

 

THOMAS Mattice vs. ZHORA HAMAZARYAN – Eight-Round Lightweight Bout

A 27-jaar-oue van Cleveland, Mattice draai pro in 2014 en het 'n amateur rekord van 72-18. He was a three-time Ohio State Golden Gloves Champion and bronze medal winner in the USA National Tournament in 2014.

 

 

 

Mattice will be making his second ShoBox appearance following a strong debut Feb. 2, when the undefeated lightweight rallied from behind to score a seventh round TKO of ShoBox veteran Rolando Chinea. Mattice has recorded five straight KOs and nine overall in 11 professionele gevegte.

 

 

 

“I am excited for the opportunity to showcase my talent again on ShoBox," Mattice said. “I’m going to go out there and do what I did before. I’m going to get a win, hopefully in knockout fashion. Hierdie man (Hamazaryan) doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into.”

 

 

 

Undefeated lightweight prospect Hamazaryan, who signed with Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing in February, is originally from Armenia but fights out of Los Angeles. Part of a long line of Armenian fighters who have fought in the U.S., Hamazaryan won his U.S. debut on Feb. 16, when he scored a unanimous decision win over the previously unbeaten Sergio Ramirez. Prior to his win against Ramirez, all of Hamazaryan’s victories were earned in Russia.

 

 

 

The 22-year-old was considered the No. 1 fighter in Armenia after an amateur career that spanned over 200 gevegte. Hamazaryan turned professional in 2015, turning down an opportunity to fight for the Armenian Olympic Team in 2016.

 

 

 

“This fight is very important for me, and I am very excited to be fighting on national television in America,” Hamazaryan said. “I know [Mattice] is undefeated but I normally don’t look at my opponent. I’m just looking to put on a great performance and make a statement for fans in the U.S.”

 

MONTANA LOVE vs. KENNETH SIMS JR. – Eight-Round Super Lightweight Bout

Cleveland native Love was an accomplished amateur who compiled a 174-13 rekord en het 'n brons medalje by die 2012 Nasionale kampioenskappe vir goue handskoene. The 22-year-old recently sparred with Adrien Broner, and served as head sparring partner for Robert Easter Jr. before his lightweight title defense against Javier Fortuna on Jan. 20.

 

 

 

Love has won two consecutive bouts against lesser opposition since defeating Samuel Teah in his ShoBox debut on Feb. 2.

 

 

 

“I am excited and happy to be back,"Het Love. “I want to put on another great performance. Sims and I grew up as amateurs together. Hy is 'n goeie vegter, but I am hungry and want to keep rolling. I can’t let anything get in my way.”

 

 

 

Chicago native Sims makes his return to ShoBox just over a year after suffering the first loss of his career against Rolando Chinea via close majority decision in what was his toughest test to date. The 24-year-old Sims, who has sparred with Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, was 'n 2013 U.S. National Amateur Champion and a 2012 Olympic Trials semifinalist.

 

 

 

“I am happy to be back fighting after having surgery on my elbow that had been bothering me for the last year and a half,” Sims said. “This is my chance to prove that I’m back and the loss on ShoBox was a fluke. I remember Love from the amateurs and I know I have what it takes to beat him.”

LAS VEGAS, NV (Junie 25, 2018) – Undefeated WBC Youth middleweight prospect Mekhrubon Sanginov (6-0, 4 Uitklophoue), scored an impressive third round TKO over Carlos Lopez, this past Saturday in Tijuana, MX.

 

 

 

Sanginov, who trains out of Las Vegas by way of Dushanbe, Tadjikistan, took the fight to Lopez from the opening round. Sanginov, who has power in both hands, landed some devastating hooks to the head of Lopez in the first two rounds, softening up him up. After landing a powerful straight right cross to the face of Lopez in the middle of round three, Sanginov was able to end the fight with a TKO victory. Met die oorwinning, Sanginov extends his winning streak to six in a row.

 

 

 

“This was my first time fighting in Mexico and I wanted to make it a memorable one,” said Mekhrubon Sanginov. “I landed some powerful blows in the early rounds and got him out of there in round three. Nou, I’m focused on getting back in the gym to get ready for my next fight. There is no time to relax, I need to stay busy.”

 

 

 

Sanginov is a promotional free agent. His goal is to sign with a promoter and stay busy, fighting at least three more times before the end of the year.

 

 

 

“I want to prove to all the promoters in boxing that I’m a special fighter who will work hard to get to the top,” Sanginov continued. “I’m dedicated and I’m willing to fight anyone. All I need is a chance to prove myself.”

KALI REIS EN ANTHONY LAUREANO
KYK OM IN HULLE TE BEDRUK “TUISKOMS” BOUTS BY MOHEGAN SUN ON 30 JUNIE

REIS VAN RHODE -EILAND KOM TERUG VIR HAAR DERDE BOUT BY MOHEGAN SUN
LAUREANO VAN CONNECTICUT RETURNS VIR SY TWEEDE BOUT BY MOHEGAN SUN

Uncasville, Conn. (JUNIE 25, 2018) –Met 30 Junie wat vinnig nader kom, die hype vir STAR BOX'S “SLUGFEST by die SON” gaan voort om te bou, aangesien twee van die voorste vegters op die kaart hul tuiskoms in New England sal maak. In die samewerking, TYD “KO MEQUINONOAG” REIS (13-7-1 4KO se) van die Voorsienigheid, Rhode Island sal haar derde verskyning by Mohegan Sun teen VYFDE “DIE ELEGANT” RAMIREZ (11-5 5KO se). Dit dra by tot die opwinding, Connecticut se eie “AKSIE” ANTHONY LAUREANO (7-0 3KO se) van East Hartford sal terugkeer huis toe by Mohegan Sun in sy stryd teen JUAN de la CRUZ RODRIGUEZ (8-9-1 6KO se).

 

 

 

Die inheemse vegter van Rhode Island, Kali Reis, is geen vreemdeling vir helder ligte en druk nie. Met 'n indrukwekkende vertoning op HBO teen onbetwiste kampioen en #1 pond-vir-pond vroulike vegter ter wêreld, Cecilia Braekhus, Reis kyk terug huis toe, terug na New England en het haar volle krygsgees by die Mohegan Sun uitgestal.

 

 

 

As sy kommentaar lewer oor haar komende geveg, Reis het dit te sê gehad, “Aanhangers kan verwag om 'n nog meer vasberade te sien, geskoolde, honger, ontwikkelende WARRIOR daarbinne! Die geveg op HBO met Braekhus was so 'n leerervaring en ek is dankbaar dat ek nie net geskiedenis gemaak het nie, maar ook oor my eie persoonlike reis.”

 

 

 

Die laaste keer dat Reis by Mohegan Sun geveg het, was in November verlede jaar. Sy is opgewonde om hierdie tuiskoms te maak.

 

 

 

“Ek is opgewonde om terug by die huis te wees’ by Mohegan Sun 30 Junie,” sê die inwoner van Rhode Island. “Star Boxing het altyd aksiebelaaide gevegte wat hierdie pragtige gebied verlig. My aanhangers hou daarvan om na Mohegan Sun te kom. Daar is nie 'n slegte sitplek in die huis nie en hul gasvryheid is fantasties. Joe DeGuardia hou my baie produktief sedert ons in November met hom onderteken het. Ek is so bly oor die besluit wat ek en bestuurder Brian geneem het om by hulle te onderteken.”

 

 

 

Nog 'n plaaslike vegter op die kaart om te kyk, is Anthony Laureano. Laureano het die bynaam gekry “Aksie” vir sy meedoënlose, vorentoe vegstyl. As die boorling van East Hartford in die ring is, aanhangers kan altyd 'n opwindende vertoning van begin tot einde verwag. Star Box's “Slugfest by die son” bring altyd vuurwerke na Connecticut, en Laureano wil die tradisie voortsit met sy tuiskoms by Mohegan Sun.

 

 

 

Laureano is gevra wat hy aan die ondersteuners by Mohegan Sun sal bied, en sy reaksie was eenvoudig, “Dieselfde ding wat hulle altyd sien, aksie. Aksie, dit is dit. Die mense kom om geld te betaal en hulle gaan kry waarvoor hulle betaal het. Selfs in my laaste geveg, mense het gekry waarvoor hulle betaal het. Hulle het aksie kom sien en iemand na vore kom kom. Hulle wil niemand sien ronddans nie. Ek sê nie dat die styl sleg is nie, Ek kan dit ook doen, maar mense hou van twee ouens wat na vore kom en wil baklei. Ek is daardie vegter. Ek is die vegter wat altyd wil veg.”

 

 

 

Hierdie wedstryd teen Rodriguez is die derde keer in sy loopbaan dat Laureano by Mohegan Sun veg.

 

 

 

By navraag oor die lokaal, dit is wat Laureano te sê gehad het, “Ek is lief vir Mohegan…Mohegan is my tuiste. Daar is geen plek soos dit nie. Ek is mal oor die ring, alles is net so mooi. Die atmosfeer, die skare, my tuisdorp is daar, en as hulle daar is, is dit hard…Mohegan is my tuiste, geen twyfel. Die casino behandel my goed, en as ek daarheen gaan, voel ek dat dit is waar ek hoort. Ek het dit nog nooit elders gevoel nie.

 

 

 

In die belangrikste gebeurtenis van “SLUGFEST by die SON” op 30 Junie, JOE SMITH JR. sal sy lang verwagte terugkeer na die ring teen die moeilike Kentuckian maak, MELVIN RUSSELL. Na elf maande uit die ring as gevolg van 'n gebreekte kakebeen, die “Gewone mens”, Union Local 66 arbeider, Joe Smith Jr. keer terug by die pragtige Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. Na 'n uitstekende KO -oorwinning op NBC teen Andrzej Fonfara, en die legende uitslaan, Bernard Hopkins, uit die ring verwyder, op HBO, Smith Jr. het sy oë daarop gerig om 'n wêreldtitel te wen. Smith Jr. word tans gegradeer #3 (WBC) en #7 (WBA) in die wêreld.
