Stiger super lettMalik “Iceman” Hawkinsvil duellere knockout-artisterSubriel MatJegsomi et 10-runde oppgjør for å starte TV-aksjonen.

Lipinets vs.. Abdukakhorov skulle opprinnelig finne sted i oktober 10, men ble omlagt på grunn av en forsinkelse i at Abdukakhorov mottok visumet. Arrangementet promoteres av TGB Promotions, Top Rank, Inc. og Mayweather Kampanjer.

"Sergey Lipinets kunngjorde seg i fjor som en seriøs utfordrer i veltervektdivisjonen og kan komme nærmere toppen av den stablede vektklassen mot den tøffe ubeseiret Kudratillo Abdukakhorov 24. oktober," sa Tom Brown, President av TGB Kampanjer. “I underkortattraksjoner, ubeseiret Xavier Martínez kan tjene en karriere-beste seier over den alltid farlige Claudio Marrero, mens den talentfulle superlette Malik Hawkins og den kraftige Subriel Matías vil kollidere med en sjanse for at vinneren skal kjøre seg opp på 140 pund rangering. Dette er tre jevnt matchede anfall som vil vise oss mye om alle krigerne, mens du unner fans stor handling. ”

“Gitt hva Kudratillo har gått gjennom for å få denne muligheten, kampen virker lettere,”Sa Carl Moretti, Topprangerende VP for boksoperasjoner. “Men alle vet at det ikke vil være.”

31 år gamle Lipinets (16-1, 12 KOs) vil se ut til å forbli ubeseiret siden vi gikk opp til weltervekt i 2018 og posisjonere seg for ytterligere tittelmuligheter i veltervektdivisjonen. Født i Kasakhstan og representerer Russland, Lipinets bor nå i Woodland Hills, California og er trent av den anerkjente treneren Joe Goossen. Lipinets har satt sammen tre strake seire siden han mistet sin 140 pund tittel til firedivisjonsmesteren Mikey Garcia i mars 2018. Lipinets scoret to seire i 2019, inkludert stopp av todivisjonsmesteren Lamont Peterson i en av årets mest spennende kamper.

Født i Usbekistan og kjemper ut fra Kuala, Lumpur, Malaysia, Abdukakhorov (17-0, 9 KOs) er den topprangerte weltervekten på IBF-rangeringen. 27-åringen lagde sitt U.S.. debut i mars i fjor, beseire den tidligere tittelutfordreren Keita Obara ved enstemmig avgjørelse. Abdukakhorov fulgte opp med en bred teknisk avgjørelse triumf over tidligere mester Luis Collazo i oktober i fjor.

Et Mayweather Promotions-prospekt fra Sacramento, Calif., Martínez (15-0, 11 KOs) har trent for denne kampen i Las Vegas, Nev. sammen med tre ganger mester Gervonta Davis. 22-åringen la til tre knockout-seire i rekorden sin i fjor, og har stoppet de siste syv motstanderne mot oktober 24. Martínez slo nylig ut Jessie Cris Rosales i november i fjor, og vil gå opp i konkurranse om å møte Marrero, mens han søker å komme nærmere et tittelskudd.

Den tidligere midlertidige fjærvektmesteren Marrero (24-4, 17 KOs) vil bevege seg opp til 130 pund divisjon etter et langt løp på 126 pund som så ham møte en rekke konkurrenter og økende utsikter. Representerer Santo Domingo, Den dominikanske republikk, Marrero kapret sin midlertidige tittel i april 2017 med en første runde knockout over da ubeseiret Carlo Zambrano. 31-åringen eier også en stopp i første runde av den ubeseirede Jorge Lara i april 2018 og en avgjørelsesseier over fjærvektskonkurrent Eduardo Ramirez i juni i fjor.

Et annet stigende prospekt i Mayweather Promotions-stallen, Hawkins (18-0, 11 KOs), kjemper ut av Baltimore, Maryland og blir trent av Gervonta Davis ’trener Calvin Ford. 24-åringen seiret nylig over den ubeseirede Darwin Price i desember av TKO i femte runde. Hawkins var opptatt i 2019, plukke opp fem seire totalt etter en 2018 kampanje som fikk ham til å tjene sin første seier på 10 runde ved å slå Raymond Serrano.

Den 28 år gamle Matías (15-1, 15 KOs) går tilbake til handling og ønsker å sprette tilbake fra sitt første karrieretap, et knapt avgjørelsestap for Petros Ananyan i februar i år. Før det, Matías hadde stoppet alt 15 av motstanderne hans som dateres tilbake til hans pro-debut i desember 2015. Oktober 24 blir hans fjerde kamp i USA.

Davis (23-0, 22 KOs) brøt ut på scenen med en eksplosiv knockout-seier over Jose Pedraza for å vinne IBF Junior Lightweight World Tittel i en stjernefremmende forestilling på SHOWTIME® i januar 2017. På tidspunktet, han ble den yngste verdensmesteren i boksing i en alder 22. I ringen, Davis blander kontrollert aggresjon med brennende hånd- og fothastighet, iøynefallende kraft og sublime bokseferdigheter. Den dynamiske kombinasjonen av ferdigheter har gjort Davis til en fan-favoritt som fylte arenaer i Atlanta, Ga., og hjembyen Baltimore, Md., i fjor.

25-åringen begynte sin 2019 med en knockout av Hugo Ruiz i februar, før han scoret en andre runde stopp av Ricardo Núñez i sin hjemkomstkamp i juli. Davis avsluttet året med å fange sin lette tittel via 12th runde TKO av tidligere mester Yuriorkis Gamboa i desember. Davis eier også en tittelvinnende forestilling der han dominerte den tidligere mesteren Jesus Cuellar for å fange WBA 130 pund belte i 2018. Under veiledning av Mayweather Promotions, Davis vil se på å forbedre sin imponerende portefølje ytterligere med en annen tittelvinnende forestilling i sin første pay-per-view hovedarrangement.

Fighting ut av Los Angeles, Santa Cruz (37-1-1, 19 KOs) debuterte i super fjærvekt i november i fjor ved å beseire Miguel Flores for å fange WBA-tittelen. Santa Cruz har gjort seg kjent i sporten ved å delta i en rekke konkurrenter for årets kamp, inkludert to spennende fjærvektstittelldueller mot den fire ganger mesteren Abner Mares og todivisjonsmesteren Carl Frampton hver. Han mistet fjærvektstitelen sin første kamp mot Frampton i 2016, men gjenvunnet det i omkampen året etter.

32-åringen har konkurrert i tittelkamper i 17 av hans siste 19 kamper, mens du tar opp belter kl 118, 122, 126 og 130 pund. Den 130 pund store tittelen gjorde Santa Cruz til den femte fighteren av meksikansk avstamning som vant titler i fire vektklasser, bli med Oscar De La Hoya, Erik Morales, Jorge Arce og Mikey Garcia. Santa Cruz ble introdusert for sporten og trente gjennom sin karriere av faren Jose, sammen med brødrene Jose Armando, en tidligere lettvektsutfordrer, og Antonio. Santa Cruz ser ut til å bli en femdelingsmester i sin første pay-per-view headliner.

Den 25 år gamle Barrios (25-0, 16 KOs) skal gjøre det første forsvaret av verdensmesterskapet i hjembyen San Antonio. Barrios fanget sin 140 pund tittel i sin siste kamp i september 2019, tjene en hardt kjempet enstemmig avgjørelse over da ubeseiret Batyr Akhmedov, slippe ham to ganger og slåss gjennom et kutt på hodet. Barrios trener i Oakland, Calif. under veiledning av den anerkjente treneren Virgil Hunter. De fem fots ti-tommers Barrios debuterte som en super bantamvekt i 2013, til slutt flytte opp til 140 pounds på heltid i 2017 hvor han er 8-0 med syv knockouts.

“Den lange permitteringen er endelig over, og fans kan forvente å se meg gå i krig med Ryan Karl, som jeg kjenner kommer for å bringe en aggressiv kamp på bordet,”Sa Barrios. “Jeg har holdt meg i god form det siste året, så nå er det på tide for meg å fortsette å gi boksefans spennende kamper. Jeg skal representere byen San Antonio og som alltid, alle kan forvente å se meg like eksplosiv som alltid. Oktober 31, alle fansen som ser på pay-per-view, vil se på meg når jeg forsvarer tittelen min. ”

Født i Milano, Texas og nå trent i Houston under veiledning av topptrener Ronnie Shields, Karl (18-2, 11 KOs) vil gå inn for sin første tittelmulighet i oktober 31. 28-åringen går inn i denne kampen på en tre-bout seiersrekke, med alle tre seirene som kommer inn 2019, inkludert en knockout av Kevin Watts for å hevne et av tapene i en umiddelbar omkamp. Karl eier også seire over Kareem Martin og den ubeseirede Jose Felix Quezada i løpet av sin pro-karriere som dateres tilbake til 2014.

«Jeg har trent for dette hele livet og vil ikke la det gli unna,”Sa Karl. “Vi jobber hardt i treningsleiren for å oppnå den beste prestasjonen i karrieren min. Vi vet hva vi står overfor i Mario Barrios, men jeg har kommet for langt til ikke å benytte meg av muligheten 31. oktober. "

En stift av 140 pund elite, PROGRAMMER (24-1, 20 KOs) vender tilbake til ringen etter å ha mistet tittelen i et spennende foreningsoppgjør gjennom flertallsavgjørelse i oktober mot Josh Taylor. 31-åringen vant tittelen ved å beseire Kiryl Relikh av TKO i april 2019 og har også vunnet stoppseire over tidligere enhetlig mester Julius Indongo, og da uslåtte kandidater Joel Diaz Jr.. og Juan Jose Velasco. Prograis ble født i New Orleans, men lever og kjemper ut av Houston.

“Dette er en enorm kamp, ​​og jeg er veldig takknemlig mot PBC for å gi meg denne muligheten,"Sa Prograis. «Jeg har ikke kjempet på et år, og siden den gang har jeg gjort mye selvrefleksjon og flyttet fra L.A. tilbake til Texas. Jeg er mer fokusert enn jeg noen gang har vært, og jeg kan ikke vente med å komme tilbake til min første plassering i super lett divisjon. Jeg må være verdensmester igjen og stopper ikke før det skjer.

Den 30 år gamle Heraldez (16-0-1, 10 KOs) kan hvelve seg inn i toppnivået på 140 pund-kandidater med en karriere-beste seier over Prograis i oktober 31. Født i Northridge, Cal. og trening ut av Mayweather Promotions treningsstudio i Las Vegas, Heraldez kjempet sist mot flertall i mai i fjor mot den tidligere mesteren Argenis Mendez. Heraldezs pro-karriere har også sett ham score seire over tidligere ubeseiret Jose Miguel Borrego og tøff konkurrent Eddie Ramirez.

«Det har vært et sprøtt år, men jeg benyttet anledningen til å tilbringe tid med familien min og skjerpe ferdighetene mine inne i ringen,”Sa Heraldez. “Det har skjedd mye flott sparring på Mayweather Boxing Club som jeg har benyttet meg av. Jeg har en tøff motstander foran meg, og det er mitt eneste fokus akkurat nå. Jeg stoler på min evne som fighter, og jeg stoler på at teamet mitt får meg over målstreken med seier i oktober 31. Jeg er takknemlig for Mayweather Promotions for å ha satt meg på en så stor plattform for denne kampen. "

Kjemper ut fra hjemlandet Mexico City, Mexico, Cross (19-1-1, 14 KOs) er ubeseiret i sin siste 15 kamper siden han droppet sin sjette pro-kamp ved avgjørelse. 22-åringen slo ut 10 av 13 motstandere mellom 2016 og 2018, før han gjorde sitt U.S.. debut i desember 2019. Den konkurransen fikk Cruz til å oppnå en enstemmig avgjørelse over Miguel Perez, som han fulgte opp i februar i år ved å beseire Thomas Mattice ved avgjørelse på ShoBox: Den nye generasjonen.

“Siden jeg begynte å bokse, det har vært min drøm å kjempe på denne scenen i USA,"Sa Cruz. “Jeg vet at Diego Magdaleno er en veldig tøff og erfaren jagerfly, men det er min tid i oktober 31. Fans vil se at jeg har det som trengs for å bli verdensmester når jeg slår Magdaleno og kunngjør meg selv som en av de beste lettvekterne i verden. ”

Magdaleno (32-3, 13 KOs) går inn i denne kampen og kommer av en imponerende seier over konkurrent Austin Dulay i februar som så ham slippe Dulay på vei til en enstemmig beslutning. 33-åringen har utfordret Roman Martinez om en 130 pund tittel og Terry Flanagan for en lett krone, mens han også kjempet mot lettvektsmester Teofimo Lopez i februar 2019. En innfødt i Las Vegas, Magdaleno har vunnet fire av fem kamper inn i oktober 31, inkludert en 10-runde avgjørelse over Artyom Hovhannisyan.

“Jeg har vært veldig ivrig etter å komme tilbake til ringen siden forrige opptreden,”Sa Magdaleno. “Den seieren utløste en brann i meg og fikk meg så motivert som jeg noen gang har vært. Nå som jeg er i en titteliminator, Jeg er enda mer spent på å komme tilbake til handling. Jeg står overfor en annen ung løve, men han mangler den erfaringen jeg har. Trening med Bones Adams har gjort en verden av forskjell i karrieren min. Jeg har gjort en overgang til å være mer sammensatt og smartere i ringen. Jeg er her for å komme med en uttalelse og hevde det som er mitt. Jeg kommer aldri til å trekke meg tilbake før jeg får den verdens tittelen. "

HANEY-GAMBOA AND JACOBS-ROSADO HEADING TO SEMINOLE HARD ROCK HOTEL & CASINO

Legg igjen en kommentar
WBC Lightweight champion defends on Nov. 7 – Super-Middleweight grudge match on Nov. 27

Devin Haney will defend his WBC World Lightweight title against Yuriorkis Gamboa on Saturday, November. 7 and Daniel Jacobs will clash with Gabriel Rosado on Friday, November. 27, both behind closed doors and subject to strict COVID-19 protocols at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, Florida, live on DAZN.

To subscribe to DAZN, visit www.DAZN.com.

Haney (24-0, 15 KOs) is back in action for the first time since November 2019 after injuring his right shoulder in seeing off Alfredo Santiago in the first defense of his belt in LA. The 21-year-old sensation had successful surgery on the injury and is now ready to resume his quest to dominate a 135-lbs. scene that’s littered with big names.

First on his hit list is Gamboa (30-3, 18 KOs), the former unified World Featherweight king and Cuban hero, following his Olympic gold medal. Gamboa is aiming to become a two-weight World ruler at the third attempt having challenged Terence Crawford and Gervonta Davis for their titles, but Haney is confident he will reignite his reign in style.

“Yuriokis Gamboa is a dangerous and experienced fighter,” said Haney. “He’s a former unified world champion, and he has been in the ring with some of the best. He hurt Terence Crawford with a big shot, so his power is not to be ignored. He beat Orlando Salido who beat Vasiliy Lomachenko. Less than a year ago he took Gervonta Davis into the 12th round, something no one has ever been able to do. Gamboa is a true warrior and I’m not taking him lightly. I’ve called out all the top names, and I finally got someone who will challenge me for my title. I intend on making a statement in this fight. My hunger is on another level. It’s time to show the world who the best fighter in boxing is and that’s me!"

“I’m extremely thankful to God for allowing this fight to happen and for the miracle of healing my Achilles,” said Gamboa. “I’ve been dreaming and wishing of fighting for the WBC Green Belt ever since I was an amateur in Cuba. I’m ready and determined to win this title for my fans and to prove those who wrote me off as a washed up fighter wrong. I came up short against Davis because of my Achilles in the second round, but I fought the rest of the fight on one foot, hurting him in the middle rounds. You are going to see a healthy Gamboa fight with both of my legs, fists and warrior heart of mine. With God’s blessings I will come out victorious Nov. 7."

Jacobs and Rosado have built up a rivalry over the last year and now that comes to a head three weeks after Haney vs. Gamboa.

Jacobs (36-3, 30 KOs) made the first steps on his target of becoming a two-weight World champion with victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in Phoenix, Arizona in December. That was the “Miracle Man’s” first foray into the 168-lbs. scene after the two-time World Middleweight king moved up from 160 lbs. after his unification clash with Canelo Alvarez in Las Vegas in May 2019.

Rosado (25-12-1, 14 KOs) appeared on the undercard in Phoenix and clashed with Jacobs ahead of the weigh-in. The Philly ace recorded a ten round points win that night to return to winning ways following his thrilling back-and-forth battle with Maciej Sulecki on home turf in March 2019, and the 34-year-old will be out to fire himself into contention for the World title clash that Jacobs seeks.

“Gabe talked his way into this fight and now it’s time to see if he can back it up,” said Jacobs. “He’s got a big mouth and he’s been bringing up my name constantly for over a year – but on Nov. 27 the talking stops and I can’t wait to shut him up. My aim is to become a two-weight division World champion in 2021 and that starts with a big win in Florida. Etter det, I’m ready to step up and fight one of the World champions at 168 pounds. "

“I’m really excited for the fight,” said Rosado. “There’s been a lot of back and forth between me and Jacobs, and for the fight to finally happen, I’m more than ready. I’ve started training camp with Freddie Roach in LA at Wild Card Boxing, and I’m just looking to put on one hell of a show for the fans. I’m definitely going to bring the fight to Danny and it’s going to be great.”

Both events have stacked undercards in support of the main event. There’s a Heavyweight flavor to the Haney card with Croatian talent Filip Hrgovic (11-0, 9 KOs) facing American Rydell Booker (26-3, 13 KOs) and Chinese star Zhilei Zhang (21-0, 18 KOs) meeting another American in Devin Vargas (22-6, 9 KOs). Three young stars continue their pro journeys on the bill as Reshat Mati (7-0, 5 KOs), Raymond Ford (6-0, 2 KOs) and Arthur Biyarslanov (6-0, 5 KOs) are in action on the show – and Matchroom are delighted to announce the signing of French star Souleymane Cissokho (11-0 7 KOs) to a multi-fight deal and he’ll box on the bill, and more details on the deal for the Anthony Joshua managed Super-Welterweight will come on Monday.

Marc Castro will make his pro debut on the undercard of Jacobs vs. Rosado. The Fresno talent was slated to make his bow in the paid ranks in Tulsa, Oklahoma in August, but he tested positive for COVID-19. Now the amateur sensation finally laces them up and is joined on the undercard by fellow amateur rulers in Olympic gold medalist Daniyar Yeleussinov (9-0, 5 KOs), three-time World amateur champion Magomedrasul Majidov (2-0, 2 KOs), and young talents Nikita Ababiy (9-0, 6 KOs) and Alexis Espino (6-0, 4 KOs).

“I can’t wait for our U.S. return in Florida – two stacked cards with plenty riding on them,"Sa promotor Eddie Hearn. “The Lightweight division is on fire and there’s no better time for Devin to return to action and make a big statement at the Hard Rock. Although Devin may well be the next big thing, when you look at his CV, Yuriorkis is by far his toughest test to date. A few weeks later, the bad blood between Daniel and Gabe will come to a head as they clash, and the winner of that fight will find themselves in a great position for a World title shot at 168 lbs. in 2021.”

“There’s so many interesting plotlines on both undercards. The Heavyweights are in the spotlight on Nov. 7, with Filip and Zhilei, two World-class fighters that are looking to stake their claims for massive fights next year, as will Magomedrasul who fights on Nov. 27."

“Marc was devastated that his debut was postponed but the Fresno sensation has re-focused and it’s not a bad thing to have to learn to cope with a setback like that – he’s been working so hard in training, and I think we’re going to see a spectacular debut.”

“We’re lining up a big test for Daniyar, and so many of the young stars on the cards are beginning to get to the stages in their career where they move to the next level so I am expecting two exciting nights of action in the Sunshine State.”

Hard Rock Live and Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood in Florida have a rich history of hosting world-class boxing in addition to globally recognized entertainment acts like Jerry Seinfeld, Alicia Keys and Aerosmith. The venue is excited to play host to two huge nights of action in November.

His only loss came in a controversial stoppage during a match against Thomas Mattice in his hometown of Midland, TX, on a ShoBox main event back in 2019.

DANNY ROMAN WANTS ALL SUPER BANTAMWEIGHT CHAMPIONS

Photo by Leo Wilson / Premier Boxing Champions

ORANGE, SLIK AS (September 28, 2020) – Former super bantamweight world champion, Danny Roman (28-3-1, 10 KOs), has his sights on challenging newly crowned WBC Champion Luis Nery (31-0, 24 KOs) after his recent unanimous decision over Juan Carlos Payano (21-4, 9 KOs). Roman defeated Payano by scores of 116-112 across the board in a WBC title elimination bout, putting him next in line to challenge Nery, who defeated previously unbeaten Aaron Alameda (25-1, 13 KOs) by way of a twelve round unanimous decision, to capture the vacant WBC belt.


“After defeating Payano, my focus has shifted to challenging Luis Nery for the WBC title.” said Roman, who is promoted by Thompson Boxing Promotions. “I am now the mandatory challenger to fight Nery and I believe that fight can be made easily, since we are both fighting on SHOWTIME with the PBC. Luis Nery is a true warrior, as am I, and I’ll be ready to fight him anytime, hvor som helst. Nery is a very gifted fighter and I think that fight will be fan friendly with both of us leaving everything in the ring.”


I tillegg, Roman has unfinished business to settle with IBF/WBA champion,Murodjon Akhmadaliev (8-0, 6 KOs) after he lost a close split decision in their world championship bout that took place in January of this year. Roman relinquished his IBF and WBA titles that night.


“I want a rematch with Murodjon Akhmadaliev as I believe I won that fight,” Roman continued. “When you fight champion for his titles, you must win convincingly, and I don’t think Akhmadaliev did enough that night, but the judges thought differently. I graciously took the defeat with class, but it didn’t feel right. I want to avenge my loss.”


Til slutt, if a fight cannot be made with Nery or Akhmadaliev, Roman wants WBO champion, Angelo Leo (20-9 KOs). I sin siste kamp, Leo captured the vacant WBO world title with a dominating performance against previously undefeated contender, Tramaine Williams (19-1, 6 KOs).


“Angelo Leo, who holds the WBO title, is the other world champion that I want to challenge,” Roman concluded. “Leo is another great fighter that brings excitement each time he fights, and I know if we go to battle, it will be an explosive fight. Before my loss to Akhmadaliev, I was unbeaten for six years. I’m ready to become a world champion once again.”

TOP LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT MENG FANLONG NOW A FREE AGENT

Legg igjen en kommentar

SEPTEMBER 22nd, 2020 NEW YORK CITY – Former Olympian and #1 ranked IBF light heavyweight contender Meng Fanlong (16-0, 10 KOs) is now a promotional free agent after reaching a separation agreement with Roc Nation.

“I’m very happy to be a free agent," said Meng. “I have the best team around me, my advisors Terry and Tommy Lane, my trainer Shaun George, my attorney Scott Shaffer and my Chinese representative Kurt Li. They are building a solid plan for my career and I am really looking forward to the future. I am still the mandatory challenger in the IBF. La oss få det på!"

Last summer, Meng earned the IBF’s #1 ranking with a 2019 victory over then-undefeated Adam Deines. Som et resultat, Meng was set to fight unified champion Artur Beterbiev on March 28th, 2020, but the coronavirus pandemic KO’d the bout. In late 2018, Meng traveled to Monte Carlo and stopped British contender Frank Buglioni in five rounds, sending Buglioni into retirement. His most recent fight was a second-round stoppage of Gilberto Rubio that was not televised anywhere.

Despite his undefeated record and stellar amateur background highlighted by representing his native China at the 2012 Olympiske leker, Meng remains relatively unknown in the United States. His current team intends for that to change soon.

“We can’t wait for people to see him fight;" said Meng’s advisor, Tommy Lane. “He is one of the best fighters in boxing today and is yet to fight on a major platform, and that’s a shame. We hope to change that very soon. We are currently feilding different opportunities for Fanlong.”
