New York, NY (Maart 19, 2018)–Split-T Management is proud to announce the signing of 5-time New York Golden Gloves champion and 2017 United States Amateur champion Brian Ceballo 'n bestuurskontrak.
Die 24 year-old is a native of Brooklyn, New York had a stellar amateur career that saw him win 17 National championships beginning at 11 years old when he won the National Silver Gloves championship.
Ceballo, who began boxing at 8 years-old won 11 National titles as a junior and 6 National titles as a senior which includes the 2016 National Golden Gloves title, 2017 United States National Title.
Ceballo also captured the 2014 World Series of Boxing Team Trials, and was a Olympic trials semifinalist.
Behalwe boks, Ceballo is a well rounded individual as he plays the piano, guitar, and has been singing since he was 15 jaar-oue.
“Brian has been the top amateur welterweight in New York, as well as the United States for the past several years. He has proven time and time again that he is an elite fighter and I’m glad he decided to have Split-T Management guide his professional career to the top of the welterweight division,” said Split-T Management CEO David McWater.
“I first met (CEO of Split-T Management) David McWater at the 2016 Nasionale Golden Gloves, which I won. I wasn’t ready to turn professional, but we talked. I told him when I do turn professional, you will be the first I talk to,” said Ceballo. “Na dit, we kept in touch and after I won the US Nationals Championships in 2017, I reached out to him and said that I wanted to turn professional. I would talk to other managers, some who appeared to offer me better deals, but I decided to sign with him because I had a great relationship with him, and I liked him as a person. I felt that he would do the best for my career.”
Ceballo sees himself as a player in the competitive 147-pound division.
“The welterweight division has always been a glamour division where the best fighters are at. In a few years, I will be up there with best and become a world champion!”
The 5’10” Ceballo has a diverse style which he feels will help him excel to the top of the division.
“Ek kan boks, and I can punch, but what separates me from the others is that I am a very smart fighter and can adapt to any opponent. You will never see me fight the same way!”
Said Tim VanNewhouse of Split-Management, “Brian is an exceptional talent. He is a well-rounded exciting fighter who has won over two hundred amateur bouts and several national titles. With his accomplishments and maturity I think we will see him move quickly and successfully through the pro ranks.”
Ceballo, whose parents are from the Dominican Republic, is trained by Robert Pagan.
Brian is signed to promoter, Tom Loeffler’s 360 Promotions and makes pro debut on Maart 27 at The Avalon Theater in Hollywood, SOOS.

Falcao excited for Massachusetts debut; ready to put on a show
Plant City, FL (Maart 16, 2018) – World rated middleweight Yamaguchi Falcao returns to the ring Saterdag, Maart 31 against rugged Colombian Richard “La Lamina” Gutierrez in an eight round contest at the Marina Bay Sportsplex in Quincy, MA.
Born and raised in Brazil but now fighting out of Plant City, FL under head trainer Jose Rodriguez, Falcao captured a Bronze Medal at the London Olympics in 2012. The 30-year-old standout has been flawless thus far as a pro, opstel van 'n 14-0 rekord met 7 oorwinnings deur knockout. Mei 5, 2017, Falcao impressively outpointed previously unbeaten Morgan Fitch (18-0-1) over ten rounds. Tans gradeer #13 deur die World Boxing Council, Falcao meets one of the craftiest veterans in the 160 pond afdeling.
A Miami based Colombian, Gutierrez is a 51 fight veteran. He’s faced a number of top fighters including Joshua Clottey, Alredo Angulo, Luis Carlos Abregu, Zaurbek Baysangurov, Yudel Johnson, Jonathan Gonzalez, Vanes Martirosyan and Gilberto Ramirez among others. Op 30-17-2 met 19 KO se, Gutierrez has only been stopped three times and is a former WBC Latino titlist. In sy mees onlangse bout, he held unbeaten Marcos Osorio to a draw in his native Puerto Rico.
“Gutierrez is a very tough, ervaar, crafty and game fighter,” said Jody Calaguire of Team Falcao. “Yama has been looking great in camp and is ready to win impressively.”
Die 31st also marks Falcao’s first fight in Massachusetts, which has one of the largest Brazilian populations in the United States. While nothing is quite like fighting at home, Falcao’s hoping the Brazilian community comes out in large numbers to support him.
“The Brazilian people are extremely important to me. I have fought six times in Brazil and my Olympic Bronze was for everybody in the country. Knowing there’s many Brazilians in the Boston area where the fight is taking place further inspires me to put on a great performance. I hope to see many Brazilian flags and meet new supporters on the 31st."
The card is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions in association with Murphy’s Boxing and will air on ESPN2. Tickets are available at Murphysboxing.com.
