LAS VEGAS (September 14, 2016) — A championship tripleheader will highlight “Knockout Night at the D” on Friday night, September 30, airing live (11 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. PT) on CBS Sports Network and internationally via ESPN (digital delay check local listings), outdoors from under the neon lights at Downtown Las Vegas Events Center(DLVEC).
The “Knockout Night at the D” series, presented by the D Las Vegas and DowntownLas Vegas Events Center, is promoted by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions.
Hall of Fame announcers Jim “J.R.” Ross and Al Bernstein will call all of the action from ringside on CBS Sports Network and in English for ESPN internationally.
In The 10-round main event, Hanzel “Rude Boy” Martinez (23-2, 19 KOs) takes on
Emmanuel Quartey (20-2, 19 KOs) for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) International super bantamweight championship.
Tony Lopez, Jr. (11-1, 4 KOs faces unbeaten Stephon “Showstopper” Young (14-0-3, 6 KOs) for the vacant WBA North American Boxing Association (NABA) bantamweight title in the 10-round co-feature, while undefeated WBA-NABA USA super welterweight champion John “The Phenom” Vera (14-0, 9 KOs) makes his first title defense against Milorad “Micko” Zizic (12-1, 6 KOs) in an 8-round bout.
“This show has all the makings of the best ‘Knockout Night at the D’ show of the year with three title fights on tap,” RJJ Boxing Promotions CEO/Co-Founder Keith Veltre said. “The six principal fighters have a combined record of 94-6-3 with 63 knockouts. All three of these title fights are evenly matched and can go either way. The winner of the main event should land a spot in the WBA’s top 15 ratings. And we plan to load up the undercard with many of Las Vegas’ most promising prospects.”
Martinez, 24, is a former World Boxing Council (WBC) United States bantamweight champion. A native of Tijuana, Mexico, Martinez is ranked No. 4 by the NABA, and on the verge of breaking out on the national boxing scene. He hasn’t fought since last December because his last fight was cancelled when he was injured in a car accident.
A former super flyweight champion at home in Ghana, Quartey like Martinez is a dangerous puncher who has experience in the ring. He will be making his United State debut Sept. 30 vs. Martinez.
The 22-year-old Lopez, fighting out of Dallas, is coming off of a sensational second-round stoppage of Jerren Cochran this past May at DLVEC. He is a former WBC Youth Intercontinental bantamweight champion, the belt he captured in 2014 with an 8-round unanimous decision from previously undefeated Isaac Torres (9-0) in Fort Worth. Lopez is rated No. 7 by the NABA.
Young, 27, is rated No. 2 by the NABA. The southpaw was a decorated amateur boxer out of Saint Louis, compiling an 86-13 record, including a silver-medal performance at the 2011 National Golden Gloves Championships. All three of his draws were fought on the road. His last was in his most recent fight, last April at Turning Stone Casino in Verona, New York, in which he and 14-0 Nikolay Potapov battled evenly for 10 rounds.
Vera’s brutal sixth-round knockout of 10-1-1 Joey Ruelas, also at DLVEC, earned the left-handed Vera his NABA-USA super welterweight crown. Fighting out of Fort Worth, Vera will be facing the toughest opponent of his 3 ½ year professional career.
Zizic, a native of Montenegro is a former International Boxing Federation (IBF) Youth and WBC Mediterranean middleweight champion. Ranked No. 14 by the NABA, Zizic now lives and trains in the capital of boxing, Las Vegas.
Undercard fights will soon be announced. All fights and fighters are subject to change.

Victory Sports & Entertainment signs Middleweight Anthony Flagg, Jr. to managerial contract
 |
 |
|
For Immediate Release
Detroit, MIch. (Sept. 14, 2016)–Victory Sports & Entertainment is pleased to announce the signing of undefeated middleweight Anthony Flagg, Jr. to a managerial contract
Flagg of Detroit won his only professional bout as he stopped Josh Puchala in 48 seconds on April 10th.
“I was very happy to sign with Victory Sports,” said Flagg. “I am happy that I have managers that will fight for my career. I know I will be world champion and I have the right managers that will help get me there.”
“We are excited to welcome Anthony to the VSE family. He’s a young fighter with tremendous upside and the fact he’s from a great fight town like Detroit is a bonus,” said manager Mike Leanardi
The 22 year-old had a distinguished amateur career that saw him go 75-10 and win numerous titles which includes being the 2012 USA National Champion,2012 Olympic Trials Quarterfinalist,2010 State Golden Gloves Champion, 2010 National Silver Gloves Champion, 2009 State Silver Gloves Champion, 2009 James Toney Tournament Champion, and the 2009 Junior Olympic Champion.
Flagg is trained by Ali Harrison, who is also the father of junior middleweight contender Tony Harrison. “I am a boxer-puncher. I have power in both hands and I like to set up my shots. I can fight when I have to, but I can box, use the ring and use all of my skills.”
Outside of the ring, Flagg has accomplished a great deal as he has been featured in many articles in the Detroit area. One can be read by clicking here.
Also, with his natural good looks has done a good deal of professional modeling (he’s modeled for Title in their catalogs) and even appeared in an Eminem video.
Not many fighters can claim to having been seen by over 120 million people, but Anthony has when he was prominently featured in the “Guts Over Fear” video by Eminem.
“I had a high-top fade haircut, I guess like Will Smith and then I got a commercial. Then I got the Eminem video. I also have modeled for a watch company and did a photo shoot for the movie “Southpaw”.” This is a good start for a life after boxing.”
“I believe that I am the next big thing out of Detroit. Actually I think I can be the next big thing in the United States. I have a good team with my managers, but I also want to thank my fans, family and friends.”
Victory Sports & Entertainment is an athlete management company with offices in New York and Las Vegas. Founded by noted sports attorney Rick Torres and boxing trainer Michael Leanardi, Victory has steadily built an impressive stable of young prospects that it is grooming for future stardom.

Perrella training hard; aiming for a knockout
Fort Myers, FL (September 13, 2016) – Bryant “Goodfella” Perrella will look to take another step up the welterweight ladder when he faces contender Yordenis Ugas Tuesday, September 27 at the Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino in Santa Fe, NM.
The bout is scheduled for ten rounds and is the main event of Premier Boxing Champions’ “Toe to Toe Tuesday” series on Fox Sports 1.
Ugas, who captured a bronze medal at the 2008 Olympics for his native Cuba, is 16-3 with 7 wins by knockout as a professional. On August 12, Ugas soundly defeated previously unbeaten Jamal James over ten rounds. The well-schooled Cuban has never been stopped and two of his defeats came via split decision.
To prepare for the challenge, Perrella’s been training with world class fighters from all over the world. The Fort Myers native has put in additional time in all aspects of his training from bag work to cardio, strength training and sparring. By pushing himself to the limits in his training camp, Perrella’s confident the hard work will help him accomplish exactly what he’s looking for on fight night.
“First and foremost I owe a special thanks to my great sponsor Dioxyme for helping make this training camp a great success so far,” said the 27-year-old, who is 14-0 with 13 wins via KO. “I’ve said all along that I’m planning to knock him out. He’s never faced anybody with power like mine or a welterweight of my stature that can box, bang and throw the right punches at the right time. He’s in for a real surprise on the 27th because I’m going to end his night early and show everybody in the welterweight division that I’m a force to be reckoned with!”
