LAS VEGAS – **Februaro 12, 2020** – Fast-rising super lightweight prospects **Richardson Hitchins** (10-0, 5 KOs) Kaj **Nick DeLomba**(16-2, 5 KOs) open up about training camp ahead of their *ShoBox: La Nova Generacio* co-featured bout Friday, Februaro 28 vivi sur SHOWTIME (10:45 P.M. ETa/PT) from Sam’s Town Live in Las Vegas.

En la *ShoBox* Ĉefa evento, unbeaten Mayweather Promotions’ prospect **Malik Hawkins** (18-0, 11 KOs) will return for his second appearance on SHOWTIME as he goes toe-to-toe with undefeated Vegas native **Keith Hunter** (11-0, 7 KOs) en 10-ronda súper malpeza atako. The opening bout of the telecast will see **Kevin “The Second Coming” Newman** (11-1-1, 6 KOs) against an opponent to be announced in a 10-round super middleweight bout. The previously announced opponent, Kalvin Henderson, has withdrawn from the fight due to an injury.

Tickets for the Mayweather Promotions’ Sin City Showdown start at $25 and can be purchased at: https://mayweatherpromotions.com/events/.

Hitchins, De Brooklyn, N.Y., returns for his second consecutive test on the prospect developmental series. En lia lasta ekskurso, he earned a unanimous decision over Kevin Johnson at Sam’s Town. Hitchins, a 22-year-old 2016 Haitian Olympian, has gained notoriety for having the skillset of a veteran with a gritty and slick style inside the ring. Hitchins has credited some of his boxing development to advice and pointers he has gotten from world champion Daniel Jacobs and Shakur Stevenson, and stablemate Gervonta Davis.

“Nice” DeLomba, fighting out of Cranston, R.I., is coming off a five-fight win streak with three out of five wins by knockout. He’s best known for his slickness and elusiveness in the ring and looks to make a powerful statement in foreign territory as he makes his Las Vegas and *ShoBox* debutojn.

Here is what Hitchins and DeLomba had to say ahead of the February 28 match-up:

***How has training camp been going in preparation for February 28?***

**Hitchins:** “Camp is good, but I’m always in camp. There’s never a time when I’m not preparing and perfecting my craft, I’m really a student of the game. I know that I’m approaching that next level in my career, so I have to stay sharp and in the gym to perform at that next level.

“I’m headed to Colorado to finish training camp. It’s where the Olympic training center is, and it’s a place I’ve gone a couple of times to finish my camp. The air is better up there and that really helps me to get in better shape going into the fight.”

**DeLomba:** “Training camp is going wonderful. I’m getting everything I need to prepare for the fight: nutrado, meal plans, and strength and conditioning. I’ve added a new strength and conditioning coach and I’ve tweaked things to adjust to Hitchins’ style. I’m ready to go and I can’t wait for fight night.”

***What is your game plan going into this fight?***

**Hitchins: ?**My game plan is the same for every fight. Stay composed and be the first to strike. I’m at a point in my career where the competition is getting tougher so the main thing for me is keeping my defense tight. My defense will keep me in good shape during the fights as the competition gets steep. But overall, I always have the mindset that I’m the better, smarter, and faster fighter.

“I surround myself with champions. That’s the only way to become one and this fight gets me one step closer.”

**DeLomba:** “I plan to go in and fight smart; stick to the game plan my team has for me and execute it well. My goal is to overcome whatever he tries to throw at me.”

***What do you know about your opponent?***

**Hitchins:** “I don’t know much. He’s who my team picked for me so I’m just going to get the job done and take him out. Sur batala nokto, I’ll have a clearer idea of how to get him out. I can adjust to anything.”

**DeLomba:** “I know my opponent has quick hands and likes to throw speedy shots. I’m completely focused on myself and my training. I believe in my abilities as a fighter. I’m not intimidated.”

***What will a victory on February 28^Th do for your career going forward?***

**Hitchins:** “Another win carries me to that next level. I’m hungry, I come from nothing, so I stay with a chip on my shoulder. I’m appreciative of my team, Mayweather Antaŭenigoj, and to SHOWTIME for providing me with this opportunity to build my name in the sport and show the world what I can do.”

**DeLomba:** “A win over Hitchins will catapult me to that next level. It’s a televised bout and this will bring me the exposure I need to branch out and expose myself to a new audience. It will improve my career tremendously.”

Celebrated manager Jackie Kallen predicts unbeaten Mykquan Williams will be her sixth world champion

Februaro 17, 2020 FNU47 Lasi rimarkon

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Februaro 12, 2020) – Women’s pioneerJackie Kallen, the first and arguably most successful female manager in the boxing history, strongly believes unbeaten 21-year-old“Marvelous” Mykquan Williams (15-0-1, 7 KOs) will develop into her sixth world champion.

Williams, fighting out of East Hartford, CT, is the reigning the World Boxing Council (WBC) United States super lightweight champion.

“Mykey has a lot of the qualities as some of the greats in boxing,” Kallen said. “He has some of the flash and speed of fighters like Ray Leonard, and the training habits and dedication of Thomas Hearns Kaj Mike Tyson. He also has a killer smile and good looks like Hector Camacho, Sr.

“Mykey can go all the way to a world title. He has the speed, attitude, and heart, along with exceptional boxing ability. He has been groomed perfectly by his trainer, Paul Cichon, who has kept Mykey true to his style, working hard to perfect his skill. Mykey trains hard, eats right, and takes the game seriously.”

“Jackie’s very experienced and knowledgeable in boxing,” Williams remarked. “She’s worked with some great, world-class fighters, so she knows the route to take for me to get there.”

Cichon added, “I sought out Jackie as our manager because of her love for the sports, as well as the knowledge of that she brings to the table. She’s very well respected, as she certainly deserves to be.”

Boxing has dramatically changed since Kallen covered her first fight for a Detroit daily newspaper in 1978. The card showcased Hearns andMickey Goodwin. She became an instant fan and wrote about boxing on a regular basis. A legendary trainer/manager based in Detroit, Emanuel Stevardino, hired her as a publicist for his famed Kronk Gym. Some of her best friends to this day are fighters who she worked with back then. She and Hearns still get together.

After serving as Kronk’s publicist for a decade, Kallen decided to branch out and she started managing fighters. Her first client was heavyweightBobby Hitz, who today is a successful promoter and restaurateur in Chicago. She went on to manage a group of Who’s Who fighters, including world championsJames Toney, Bronco McKart, Tom “Boom Boom” Johnson, Pinklon Thomas KajNonito Donaire.

Kallen, who overcame sexism in the boxing industry, is best known, eble, for her working relationship with Toney, largely because her life during that period was the inspiration for the popular 2004 movie, Against the Ropes, starringMeg Ryan as Kallen.

“Boxing today is a totally different animal,” she explained. “That’s not to say it’s better or worse, just different. There used to be more gyms in every city, heavy amateur programs, lots of shows on television networks, and enough local club shows to keep a young fighter active. I had guys back then who fought 8 Al 10 times a year, kiu, Nature, is almost impossible in 2020.

“There wasn’t as much information available on opponents either. If you were lucky, you could buy a tape. If the fighter hadn’t been on television, Tamen, you were out of luck. There was no Internet, so there was nothing like BoxRec to check opponents’ records. You just had to believe the matchmaker. I had fighters expecting to fight a 14-4 guy who found out at the weigh in that he was actually 16-0.”

Boksanta, likely the second-oldest profession, has continued to survive, albeit often on a roller-coaster ride.

“Today’s fighters are not as quick to fight each other as they were in the days of Hearns/Hagler/Leonard/Duran,” Kallen noted. “Back then, fighters wanted to really fight to be the best they could be. I see fighters today being more analytical and taking less chances.

“There are also more sanctioning organizations today. Back then it was most the WBA, WBC and IBF. Not to mention there was never one person who managed dozens and dozens of boxers at the same time. The game has definitely changed!?

Kallen, though is still heavily invested in the sport she loves. Confident Williams will be her next world champion, her dream is to be inducted into the Hall of Fame with Toney.

“In 1992,” Kallen concluded, “I was named ‘Manager of the Year’ and my love for the sport has never waned. As long as there is talent out there needing guidance, I will stay active.”

No place like home for Undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz

Februaro 17, 2020 FNU47 Lasi rimarkon

WORCESTER, Amaso. (Februaro 11, 2020) – A lifelong dream will become finally reality on February 28^Th, when undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World lightweight championJamaine "La Teknikisto" Ortiz (12-0, 6 KOs) fights at home for the first time as a professional in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Ortiz will headline aCES Boxing on UFC FIGHT PASS® event, promoted by Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES), at the historic Worcester Palladium. His opponent in the 8-round main event will be Mexican knockout artist“Loco” Luis Ronaldo Castillo (22-5, 17 KOs), a former WBC FECOMBOX lightweight champion.

“I’ve never fought in Worcester as a professional,” Ortiz said at a recent press conference. “I’ve wanted to do this bad to let people in Worcester see what it has. It’s going to be extra special because two of my closest friends, Irvin Gonzalez KajKendrick Ball, Jr., are also fighting on this card. We’ve fought together since we were kids.”

The 23-year-old will not be defending his WBC Youth World title, because he will relinquish his belt in April, when turns 24 and becomes ineligible in terms of the age requirement (23 and younger).

“Jamaine had one of the most prestigious amateur careers ever in New England,” Ortiz’ promoterJimmy Burchfield (CES Boxing) said. “He already owns the WBC World Youth title and has World Champion written all over him.”

“The Technician” is fine tuning his game and he’s already looking ahead to the not too distant future.

“I’m very excited to be fighting February 28^Th for the first time in Worcester,” Ortiz added. “It’s an exciting card with action-packed fights. I expect it’ll be sold out and hope so, because I want to prove to my city, my promoter, and local businesses that big-time boxing belongs here and will be supported by Worcester. In 2021, I want to bring world championship boxing to the new baseball stadium (Polar Park, the future home of the Worcester Red Sox, Triple A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox) across the street that will seat 10,000.”

The Feb. 28^Th show showcasing Ortiz worldwide will be streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS®, la monda ĉefa cifereca abona servo por batalaj sportoj, Komencanta #?e 9 P.M. ET / 6 P.M. PT.

My goal is to continue to put on great performances for the fans and I’m ready to fight anyone who is willing to step up to the challenge.”

Representing Sonora, Meksiko, Alameda (25-0, 13 KOs) is unbeaten since turning pro in 2014 after a strong amateur career, and will step up in competition as he faces Nery for a shot at a world title bout. The 26-year-old is ranked No. 12 by the WBC and most recently knocked out Jordan Escobar in April 2019, after three victories in 2018. Alameda will fight in the U.S. for the second time when he enters the ring on March 28, after scoring a body shot knockout over Andre Wilson in a January 2016 bout in Los Angeles.

“I’m very excited to be making my SHOWTIME debut in the main event against a great fighter,” said Alameda. “All of the years of training and fighting have brought me to this fight on March 28. Nery is a Mexican warrior like myself and I can’t wait to lock horns with him and give the fans great action all the way until the final bell.”

The 29-year-old Wallin (20-1, 13 KOs) will return to the ring in Las Vegas, where he nearly defeated former unified heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in September, when he opened up a gruesome cut over Fury’s right eye with a legal punch that nearly halted the fight. While Wallin dropped the decision, he proved his mettle as a potential future heavyweight champion. Representing his native Sundsvall, Svedio, Wallin trains in New York with former champion Joey Gamache. Wallin’s last fight in Las Vegas was his second in the U.S., after his debut on SHOWTIME in April ended in a no contest because of a cut suffered by his opponent in the first round.

Fighting out of New South Wales, #A?stralio, Browne (29-2, 25 KOs) most recently scored a knockout victory over John Hopoate in November, his second win of 2019. He’s won four of his last five bouts, with his only career losses coming to Dillian Whyte and David Allen in the U.K. Browne won his first 25 Profesiaj bataloj, including a stoppage of Ruslan Chagaev in 2016 to capture a WBA Heavyweight Championship. He will be making his U.S. Debuto.

Georgo (10-0, 6 KOs) emerged victorious in a battle of then unbeaten fighters when he faced Escudero on SHOWTIME in November, taking a split-decision victory. The 30-year-old didn’t start boxing until he was 19 and is managed by Washington Redskins All-Pro offensive lineman Trent Williams, and trained in Houston by NFL All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson and James Cooper. George will look to transition from prospect to contender by defeating Escudero again on March 28.

Escudero (10-1, 9 KOs) will look to bounce back and even the score against George, and in turn bolster his own position in the light heavyweight division. The 26-year-old from Buenos Aires, Argentina has fought primarily in the U.S. since turning pro in 2017. His amateur career saw him become a national champion in Argentina in 2014 and represent his country in the Pan-Am Games in 2015. Escudero currently trains in Miami and scored three stoppage wins in 2019 before facing George for the first time.

1988 Olimpika ormedalisto "Senkompata" Ray Mercer Rerigardas sian olimpikan sperton

Februaro 17, 2020 FNU47 Lasi rimarkon

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Februaro 11, 2020) – Tridek du jarojn post kiam li kaptis olimpikan oran medalon, "Senkompata" Ray Mercer ame memoras sian olimpikan sperton kiel pasintmonate. Mercer, kiu estas la nura amerika pezeguloĉampiono por bati senkonscie ĉiujn siajn olimpikajn kontraŭulojn, daŭriĝis por iĝi monda pezeguloĉampiono kiel profesiulo por nia "pezegoduoblo".

Por Mercer, ĉio komenciĝis en Germanujo, kie lia U.S. Armeunuo estis bazita. Ofertis ŝancon eviti 30-tagan kampan ekzercon, Mercer akceptis oferton funkcii kiel batalpartnero por la pezegulboksĉampiono de la poŝto. Malgraŭ neniam antaŭe surmeti paron da gantoj, Mercer estis rapida lernanto kiu estis nature forta, kaj li rapide evoluis en la 1985 Usono. Armeo kaj Inter-serva pezeguloĉampiono.

La Monda Klasa Atleta Programo (WCAP), en kiu kvalifikitaj atletoj havas ŝancon plentempe trejni por la Olimpikoj, ne ekzistis tiam, nek la olimpikaj kvalifikaj reguloj de hodiaŭ. Mercer venkis estontan mondan pezego-ĉampiononTommy Morrison en la komenca rondo de la 1988 Olimpikaj Provoj kaj alia estonta monda pezegulo titolisto, Michael Bentt (5-0) en la ĉampionecfinalo. Ĉe la 1988 Usona Olimpika Box-offs ĉe fama Caesars Pala

ce en Las Vegas, Mercer gajnis dividitan decidon (3-2) super Bentt, sed Mercer jam kvalifikiĝis por batali en Olimpikoj estante la U.S. ĉampiono de la Armitaj Fortoj.

“Kiam mi estis en la Armeo, Mi devis venki en la servo, konservi aferojn, kaj iru al la sekva paŝo,” Mercer memoris. "Mi devis venki kelkajn bonajn batalantojn survoje al la Olimpikoj, kaj mi estis en la plej bona formo de mia vivo. Estis pli da disciplino en la amatoroj ol la profesiaj rangoj. La lasta jaro antaŭ la Olimpikoj, Mi forlasis mian hejman unuon, multe vojaĝis por batali, kaj restis en la domo de mia trejnisto anstataŭ vivi en la kazerno.

Mercer faris historion ĉe la 1988 Olimpikoj en Seulo, Sudkoreio, kiam li iĝis kaj restas la nura olimpika pezego-ĉampiono de Usono por knokaŭti ĉiujn kvar el siaj kontraŭuloj: Rudolf Gavenciak (Ĉeĥoslovakio - RSC3), Luigi Gaudiano(Italio - KO1), Arnond Vasnderlyde (Nederlando - RSC2) KajBone Hyun-Man (Sudkorea - KO1).

"Mi sciis, ke mi devas knokaŭti la sudkoreon en la finalo,” Mercer konfesis. "Mi nur volis fari kion mi povis por esti la olimpika ormedalisto. Mi ne pensas, ke mi uzis pikon.

"Gajni la olimpikan oran medalon rezultigis kelkajn grandajn ŝanĝojn por mi. Mi fariĝis famulo, familia nomo, kaj ĝi permesis al mi gajni monon kiel profesiulo. La plej bona afero, kiu iam okazis al mi, estis gajni la olimpikan oran medalon, eĉ pli ol gajni la mondĉampionan titolon kiel profesiulo. Nenio kompare al iĝi olimpika ormedalisto. Mi plenumis mian revon. Mi neniam revis iĝi profesia, ĝis post kiam mi gajnis la oran medalon.

"Estis vere grave gajni tiun oran medalon. Mi batalis per mia koro; neniu mono estis implikita, festis tiel forte tiun nokton (post gajni la oran medalon) ke mi perdis mian medalon dum kelkaj horoj. Mia revo realiĝis, miaj manoj tremis, kaj mi perdis mian medalon. Kia nokto!?

Mercer ofertas membrojn de la 2020 Usona Boksado Olimpika Kvalifika Teamo unu konsilon, “Daŭre batalu, sekvu vian sonĝon kaj faru tiun lastan paŝon.”

Mercer, kiu naskiĝis en Jacksonville, Florido, faris sian tre atenditan profesian debuton en 1989, HaltantaJesse McGhee en la tria raŭndo de ilia batalo en Atlantic city. "Senkompate" gajnis sian unuan 18 Profesiaj bataloj, inkluzive de naŭa-raŭnda knokaŭto deFrancisko Damiani, sekvite per sukcesa defendo kontraŭ Morrison, kiu estis maldaŭrigita en la kvina raŭndo.

Dum lia 19-jara profesia kariero, Mercer kompilis a 36-7-1 (26 KOs) Rekordo, venkante kvar mondĉampionojn en Damiani, Morrison, Tim Witherspoon KajOssie Ocasio. Kvin el liaj ok karierperdoj estis al mondĉampionoj: Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Klitschko,Larry Holmes, Evander Holyfield KajShannon Briggs.

"Ray reprezentas ĉion, kio fierigas USA Boxing,?? DiritaChris Cugliari, Usono Boxing Alumni Association Direktoro. “Kiel armea veterano, Olimpika ora medalulo, kaj pezego-ĉampiono de la mondo, li montris plejbonecon kaj profesiismon, kiuj reflektas la plej bonan el tio, kion USA Boxing havas por oferti."

“Kaj li donis al mi starantan ok-kalkulon sen kialo,” Mercer aldonis. “Mi batis tiun ulon kaj li scias ĝin. Ni ankoraŭ estas en kontakto kvankam li ne parolas la anglan. Li havas amikon tradukantan kaj ni kontaktas Facebook. Ni ŝatas unu la alian."

#Hodia?, Mercer fondas bonfaradon hejme en Norda Karolino, kiu inkluzivos senpagajn boksajn klinikojn, Sed, pli grave, redonu al la komunumo kaj instruu junulojn, precipe tiuj, kiuj estas ĉikanitaj, la kapablojn, kiujn ili bezonos por eliri en la realan mondon.

Ray Mercer atingis la zeniton dufoje en boksado kiel olimpika ormedalisto kaj monda pezego-ĉampiono kiel profesiulo. Ne tro malbona por iu, kiu neniam vere volis boksi.

“Boksado savis mian vivon,” konkludis Mercer. "Mi ne povas imagi mian vivon sen boksado, certe ne estus la sama.
