Silex, MON (Février. 2, 2016) – Olympic bronze medalist and super middleweight star Andre Dirrell has taken matters into his own hands with a grassroots effort to raise funds in toward the purchase of clean water for those affected by the poisoned water crisis in his hometown of Flint. President Obama, mois dernier, declared a national state of emergency in Flint, Michigan, whose water supply was contaminated with toxic levels of lead when its source was changed from Lake Huron to the Flint River. À ce jour, sur 102,000 people have been poisoned and the number continues to climb (source: Huffington Post).
The super middleweight has already donated thousands of dollars of his own money toward the purchase of clean water for Flint residents and is imploring his fellow fighters and everyone in the boxing community to do what they can to help.
“As an athlete, I have a great appreciation for the importance of water in someone’s life,” Saïd Dirrell. “You can’t train without water, but the people of Flint need it for much more than drinking. They need to bath, cook and stay alive. This is a tragedy and I feel as though I’m in a position to not only do what I can to help these people, but encourage my fellow fighters and the whole boxing community to do what they can.
“Sur une note personnelle, I have over 30 family members living in Flint can possibly be poisoned, including six or seven of my nieces and nephews who range from the ages of 2-13. It hurts knowing that there are serious long-term effects, especially on young kids. If those were my kids, I would want something to be done. Let’s help save my city.”

"Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie " diffusée en direct et gratuitement sur Spike au 9 p.m. HE / 8 h, heure. CT, tandis combats préliminaires afflueront en direct sur Bellator.com et Mobile App Bellator.

 

Guillard a subi un horrible main cassée lors de ses débuts au Bellator MMA contre Brandon Girtz plus tôt cette année. "The Young Assassin" a clairement indiqué qu'il avait l'intention de se battre pour le titre de 155 livres, et sa route vers l'or commence en février. 19 contre un dur natif du Texas avec beaucoup à prouver. De Guillard 32 gagne comme un professionnel, 23 les victoires sont venues avant d’atteindre les tableaux de bord des juges.

 

Connu sous le nom de «The Stallion» par ceux qui connaissent sa carrière d'arts martiaux mixtes, Campos participera à sa rencontre avec Guillard sur un dérapage à deux combats. Au cours de son mandat de huit combats avec Bellator MMA, le Texan de 27 ans a fait face à une pléthore de meilleurs talents légers, affronter des noms comme: Michael Chandler, Patricky Freire, Brandon Girtz (2x), et Estevan Payan.

 

Vous auriez du mal à trouver une meilleure histoire dans tout le MMA que celle que Wren peut raconter. Le double champion national de lutte au lycée a généré une énorme attention médiatique sur la route de ses débuts promotionnels "Bellator 141: Guillard vs. Girt,”Où il a vaincu Josh Burns. Son histoire commence plusieurs années plus tôt, en 2010, quand Wren a affronté un adversaire plus dur que tout ce qu'il pourrait affronter dans les sports de combat: dépendance.

 

Avec une opportunité de continuer à se battre sur la table, Wren a quitté le sport et a commencé son processus de récupération. Une rencontre fortuite avec un ami a conduit Wren lors d'un voyage en République démocratique du Congo, où il est tombé sur et a développé une connexion profonde avec les pygmées Mbuti, dont beaucoup ont été réduits en esclavage, vivant uniquement des restes avec lesquels les maîtres esclaves les paieraient. Wren y trouva sa vocation et voulait faire tout ce qui était en son pouvoir pour aider les Pygmées. Avec plusieurs visites au Congo, dont un passage qui a duré un an, Wren a lancé une fondation appelée «Fight for the Forgotten». Grâce à ses efforts, Wren et son équipe de 17 ont systématiquement acheté la terre des propriétaires d'esclaves, et ont jusqu'à présent légalement donné 2,740 acres de forêt tropicale aux Pygmées, les libérant efficacement de l'esclavage.

 

Partenariat avec d'autres groupes comme l'Université Shalom et unir leurs forces avec Water4.org, Wren et son organisme de bienfaisance sont responsables du forage 26 des puits d'eau pour aider à fournir à la fois aux Pygmées et aux anciens maîtres esclaves de l'eau propre, et prévoyez d'en forer des centaines d'autres. En outre, l'équipe a commencé un projet d'agriculture durable pour bénéficier et fournir de la nourriture aux Pygmées et aux non-Pygmées de la communauté.

GLOVER AND WILLIAMS TO FACE OFF FOR NEF GOLD

Laisser un commentaire

Lewiston, Maine (Février 1, 2016) - Combats Nouvelle-Angleterre (NEF), Numéro un la promotion de la lutte régionale de l'Amérique, tiendra son prochain événement, "NEF 21: THE IMMORTALS” this Samedi, Février 6, 2016 au Colisée Androscoggin Bank à Lewiston, Maine. The fight card is scheduled to feature both mixed martial arts (MMA) et combats de boxe professionnels. Plus tôt aujourd'hui,, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur light heavyweight championship bout to the card. Ryan Glover (2-1) will face Mike Williams (1-0) for the inaugural NEF amateur 205-pound title.

 

Avant de concourir dans le MMA, Ryan Glover was a standout dual sport athlete at Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine. A state champion wrestler, Glover made his biggest mark on the football field where he was named the “Football Player of the Year” by the Lewiston Sun Journal in 2010.

 

L'année dernière, Glover faced Billy “Bigfoot” Leahy (3-1) for the NEF amateur heavyweight championship. Glover lost a close decision in an exciting, hard-hitting physical contest. Maintenant, faster and more agile at a lower weight, Glover has his sights set on finally achieving NEF gold.

 

“The weight cut has not been fun, but has gone easier than expected,” stated Glover, when asked about his cut down to 205-pounds. “I feel a lot better as I approach 205 and I think I’ll like fighting at this weight. It’s going to be bittersweet to hold the belt at 205. I lost a close slugfest last June simply because I didn’t stick to our game plan. I dropped the ball that night and you can rest assured that’s not going to happen again. I hope Williams has been training as hard as I have, parce que, si c'est le cas, it’s going to be a fight that no one wants to miss. I’ll see you February 6th and don’t be late—this is a show worth traveling 1000 miles for.”

 

Mike Williams took a collective gasp out of the Androscoggin Bank Colisee when he came out guns blazing in his debut at “NEF XX: A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE” last November. Williams, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) blue belt and member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (CMBJJ) à Auburn, blasted fellow newcomer Joe Krech (0-1) out of the gate before securing a fight-ending armbar in a spectacular 26-seconds into the first round. The dizzying debut was enough to earn the impressive young Williams a shot at NEF gold.

 

“This fight is just another step and he’s in the way,” stated Williams flatly when asked for comment.

 

“This is another Easter egg of a fight on a star-studded card that is destined to deliver for the whole night,»A déclaré NEF co-propriétaire et entremetteur Matt Peterson. “When I look at this fight and the skill sets that both Ryan and Mike bring to the cage, I get goose bumps. Both are athletic, agressif, young and hungry guys that want to turn heads when they compete—and will stop at nothing to win. Based on what I’ve witnessed in their fights so far, I don’t see an ounce of quit in either fighter. I can’t wait to watch the way this one goes down on Saturday.”

 

prochain événement de la Nouvelle-Angleterre Fights, "NEF 21: The Immortals,” takes place Saturday, Février 6, 2016 au Colisée Androscoggin Bank de Lewiston, Maine. Tickets for “NEF 21” start at just $25 et sont en vente dès maintenant au www.TheColisee.com ou en appelant la billetterie du Colisée au207.783.2009 x 525.

Former Cruiserweight world champion Imamu Mayfield primed for comeback after 8-year hiatus

Laisser un commentaire

Freehold, New Jersey (Janvier 29, 2016) – Presque 19 years-ago, une 24 year-old Imamu Mayfield climbed to the top of the boxing’s mountain when he won the the IBF Cruiserweight title with a 12-round unanimous decision over Uriah Grant in Las Vegas.

That bout took place on a big show that was headlined by the rematch that saw Evander Holyfield defeat Michael Moorer.
Mayfied would make once defense before being stopped by Arthur Williams. Mayfield would go on to have some success by winning the USBA Cruiserweight title, but all and all he was just 7-7-2 since losing the title which includes losing his last three bouts (two to future world champions Krzysztof Wlodarczyk and Alexander Povetkin).
That was in 2008, fast forward 8-years and the now 43 year-old native of Freehold, New Jersey is planning a comeback.
“I own a gym and have been training fighters for the most part,” said the well-spoken Mayfield.
“After being away from the ring, I feel now that the time is right. I have had enough time to realize this is what I want to do. Now I am back with the people who started with me and took me to the title.”
“Those people are manager Vinny LaManna and trainer Charles Johnson.”
“Imamu and I have had great success together, when Mayfield and I got together it was from the untimely death of his longtime trainer manager Curtis Ford,”stated manger Vinny LaManna.
“Curtis did all the work, I just happened to have the relationship with then power house promoter Don King. I take no credit for any of Curtis great efforts , and it’s a shame Curtis couldn’t see all of his hard work that came together when the opportunity presented itself. I have always believed in Imamu’s skills , I truly believe he will be a force in the cruiser or heavyweight division.”
There were various times in the last 8 years that Mayfield was close to returning, but the timing just wasn’t right.
“I reached out through the years to make a comeback, but I could not make it happen. Different people inquired, but now I am back with the people who I trust and am Comfortable with.”
“I could have continued in 2008, but I wasn’t taking the right fights for the right reasons. I was being used as a steppingstone and I felt I was better than that.”
Mayfield is now fighting for different reasons.
“I am fighting for the love of boxing and want to get back to the position of being on top of the mountain.”
Towards the end of his career, Mayfield fluctuated between Cruiserweight and Heavyweight. In his time off, he has stayed in good shape and he does not see a lot of time before he is a Cruiserweight contender again.
“I am at 230 pounds now. When I fight in a couple months, I should be about 220. With each passing fight, I am going to work my way down to 200.”
While he shrinks down in weight, Mayfield sees a lot of growth in the sport that he left nearly a decade ago.
“There has been a lot of good in boxing. The sport is on the upswing. The Cruiserweight division looks competitive and I can compete with those guys. If I truly did not believe that, I would not be doing this. I still have the skills, but now I have the wisdom. My body is pretty preserved and I think I have a good shot at getting the Apple.”
“I am looking forward to getting back in there. I have always had a good fan base and a good team. Avant, i would have to travel two or three hours to just train. Now I have my own gym. It isn’t only me, but my wife and family love this idea of me trying to do some great things in boxing and become world champion again.”
