Efterlad en kommentar

Tony Grygelko fra Minneapolis-baserede Seconds Out Promotions annoncerer stolt underskrivelsen af ​​den hårdt slagende tidligere verdensudfordrende udfordrer Marcus Oliveira til en salgsfremmende kontrakt.

 

Fra Menominee, Wisconsin, og af Menominee Nation, indfødte, arv, 36-årige Oliveira (25-1-1, 20 KOS) er også en tidligere NABF og WBA Fedebol Light Heavyweight Champion.

Kampagneaftalen er en slags genforening, da Grygelko var Oliveiras promotor i meget af sin tidlige professionelle karriere.

 

“Jeg plejede at promovere Marcus, inden han underskrev med Don King, og det er virkelig en ære at være i stand til at promovere ham igen og hjælpe med at placere ham til endnu et verdensskud,” sagde Tony Grygelko. “Det ser ud til, at med sin tidligere promotor ikke aktivt søger kampe, og hans tab for Jurgen Brähmer, at Marcus er blevet afskrevet, men sandheden er, at han er ekstremt fokuseret og har et brændende ønske om at vise alle sine fans, at han har talentet til at vinde et verdensmesterskab! Han planlægger at ryste noget ringrust af med et par slagsmål, og så vil han se efter nogle af de store navne i divisionen, såsom Andrezj Fonfara, Sergey Kovalev, Bernard Hopkins, og en omkamp med Brähmer.”

 

Oliveira, som var en stærkt dekoreret amatørbokser, inden han blev professionel 2006, sagde, at han føler, at hans karriere var blevet stoppet af en aftale, han underskrev med en anden arrangør. Han siger, at han er glad for nu at være fri for den kontrakt og tilbage til at arbejde med nogen, han stoler på.

 

“Jeg ledte efter nogen, der kunne få mig til det næste niveau i min karriere, og Tony har allerede gjort det for en hel del fyre, så det var en let beslutning,” sagde Oliveira. “Han er altid lige med mig og behandler mig godt. Jeg har et godt forhold til ham. Jeg er meget glad for denne nye retning.”

 

“Vi er meget glade for at være sammen med Tony igen,” sagde Oliveiras manager, Douglas Ward fra Underground Boxing Company. “Det er godt at arbejde sammen med en promotor, der har vores samme sæt mål.”

 

Oliveira slutter sig til en Seconds Out-stald, der også inkluderer Carson Jones og den seneste verdensudfordrer Caleb Truax.

BOSTON (Maj 21, 2015) – Fighters deltagende på lørdagens Premier Boxing Champions på NBC card took part in the final press conference today at historic Fenway Park in Boston before their respective fights at Agganis Arena, with televised coverage starting at 4:30 p.m. OG/1:30 p.m. PT.

 

Billetter til live event, som fremmes af DiBella Entertainment i samarbejde med Murphys Boxing, er prissat til $250, $200, $100, $75, $50 og $35, ikke herunder gældende gebyrer og afgifter, og er der tilbud nu.

 

Her er, hvad pressemødet deltagerne havde at sige:

 

ANDRE DIRRELL

 

“A title means everything. It completes you as a fighter. That’s the top of the food chain in this sport, and that’s the pedestal we’re all trying to reach – verdensmester. Everybody wants to be a world champion. The greats had it and now we want it. It would mean more for my city, min familie og mine venner, and it’s something I’ll always be able to look back it. It would put me in the record books for life.

 

“DeGale is not quiet. Today he’s chilling, maybe because he’s a little out of his comfort zone. But there’s a lot of tension when you’re standing right there next to your opponent. He might just be a little cranky today.

 

“I like to lighten the mood and stay comfortable. This is all a part of the game. Let’s have fun now. It’s ass-kicking time when we get in that ring, but outside it’s all love.

 

“There was a time when I didn’t want to do interviews. I didn’t want to go to fights. I didn’t want to hear fans online and on social media. I closed all them down because I didn’t want to hear people ask, ‘When are you fighting again? Talking about talent wasted, or saying I’m glad he’s gone.’ It hurt because there was nothing I could do. I was powerless even with all the power in the world.”

JAMES Degale

 

“Andre says the belt doesn’t mean anything to him in the fight – godt, the belt means everything to me and more. I am here to make history and it doesn’t happen without that title.

 

“I could win på lørdag night and retire a happy man – that’s how much I want to beat Andre Dirrell. But when I do win that title, I am going for the rest of the belts, creating a lasting legacy for my country, my fans and myself.

 

“Andre is a classy fighter and he showed in the press conference that he is a classy guy too – when two fighters who believe in their ability 100 percent and know they are going to win a fight, it is going to be explosive.

 

“There’s nothing but respect between us, but ultimately, we’re going to take each other to dark territory på lørdag nat, it’s going to be a brutal battle – and one that I am going to win.”

 

EDWIN RODRIGUEZ

 

“This is home for me and I’m thrilled. I know I have a good undefeated fighter in front me, so I’m looking forward to a competitive matchup. It’s going to be a great fight for the fans.

 

“This is an exciting day for me. I saw Pedro Martinez pitch so many times here at Fenway and he’s going into the Hall of Fame. Også, my fellow countrymen Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz have made so much history here.

 

“Being here today and then having the weigh-in at Faneuil Hall i morgen and fighting på lørdag, it’s just an amazing experience.

 

CRAIG BAKER

“Dette er en stor mulighed for mig. I’ve dreamed of fighting on a grand scale like this since I first started boxing.

 

“The entire experience has been awesome. Det kommer til at være en interessant kamp. I’m going to keep coming forward. I’m going to keep boxing all night.

 

“Everyone should look forward to an action packed night, I know it’s going to be an interesting matchup.”

 

DANNY O'CONNOR

 

“A couple of years ago Ken Casey and I talked about bringing boxing back to the city of Boston. Fast-forward to today and we’re doing it.

 

“I’m excited to be part of it and to see boxing in Boston blossom. It’s good for the city and all the young boxers in this area.

 

“I know I have a tough opponent in front of me and I won’t take him lightly. I’m planning on putting on a show for the fans come Lørdag nat.”

 

CHRIS GILBERT

 

“I’m an aggressive come forward, in your face boxer from the first bell to the last.

 

“I was full steam ahead when I got the call for this fight. I train all the time, I don’t take breaks and I’m always looking for an opportunity. Jeg kunne ikke være lykkeligere.

 

“Danny O’Connor is one of the best in my weight division in New England. Everything he does, he does well.

 

“I just need to keep my head and continue to come forward, I can’t get frustrated. I’m going 100 percent the full way through. If I’m busy and I fight smart I get good outcomes.

Maj 2 Installment Of Annual Breakfast Celebrated Hard Working Professionals in Sports and Entertainment

Las Vegas (Maj 20) – Mayweather Promotions kicked-off the Saturday, Maj 2 Mayweather vs. Pacquiao festivities with the Titans of Trade breakfast entitled “Morgenmad of Champions,” in celebration of the hard working professionals in sports and entertainment. I år, the Titans of the Trade Committee honored three formidable women who have forged their own paths to success in the sports industry – renowned sportscaster Lesley Visser, tidligere verdensmester Mia St. John and New York State Athletic Commission Chairwoman Melvina Lathan.

 

“I accept this award on behalf of anyone who has faced the odds and over came them,” said Visser. “Mandela once said, ‘Sport has the power to change the world,’ and I agree because this honor I’ve received today is an example of how sport has changed the world.”

 

In addition to the honorees, there was a full program of speakers and other activities. Guest speakers included boxing legend and Hall of Famer Lucia Rijker og Andrea Haynes og Dr. Rena Menard of the United States National Committee for United Nations Women (Houston Chapter).

 

Haynes and Menard spoke specifically about HeForShe, a solidarity movement for gender equality developed by UN Women to engage men and boys as advocates and agents of change for the achievement of gender equality and women’s rights. The campaign encourages them to speak out and take action against inequalities faced by women and girls.

 

“Why I’m passionate about the HeForShe campaign is because it is important that we get the men involved to support us,” said Haynes. “UN Women and He for She is dear because what it’s saying is that we all recognize that for us to be better and do better, we have to support our women.”

 

Titans of the Trade has created a platform for the revered honorees, noteworthy speakers and worthy causes to be front and center on the biggest days of the boxing calendar and will continue to do so moving forward.

 

“What started as a women-only event with 25 attendees has grown to a Floyd Mayweather fight day tradition with over 100 women and men from across the sports industry and it has been a pleasure to see the event thrive,” sagde Nicole Craig, Vice President for Marketing og Operations for Mayweather Promotions. “This year we honored three incredible women and welcomed new guests that got the opportunity to network and form lasting relationships.”
