Seconds Out Promotions Signs Light Heavyweight Powerhouse Marcus Oliveira to a Promotional Agreement

Tony Grygelko of Minneapolis-based Seconds Out Promotions proudly announces the signing of hard-punching former world-title challenger Marcus Oliveira to a promotional contract.

 

From Menominee, Wisconsin, and of Menominee Nation, materni, heritage, 36-year-old Oliveira (25-1-1, 20 Kos) is also a former NABF and WBA Fedebol Light Heavyweight Champion.

The promotional agreement is a reunion of sorts, as Grygelko was Oliveira’s promoter for much of his early professional career.

 

I used to promote Marcus, prior to him signing with Don King, and it’s truly an honor to be able to promote him again and help position him for another world title shot,” said Tony Grygelko. “It seems that with his previous promoter not actively seeking fights, and his loss to Jurgen Brähmer, that Marcus has been written off, but the truth is he is extremely focused and has a burning desire to show all his fans that he has the talent to win a World Championship! He plans to shake off some ring rust off with a couple fights and then he’ll be looking to go after some of the big names in the division, such as Andrezj Fonfara, Sergey Kovalev, Bernard Hopkins, and a rematch with Brähmer.

 

Oliveira, who was a heavily decorated amateur boxer before turning pro in 2006, said he feels his career had been stalled by an agreement he signed with another promoter. He says he happy to now be free of that contract and back to working with someone he trusts.

 

I was looking for someone who could get me to the next level in my career and Tony has already done that for quite a few guys, so it was an easy decision,” said Oliveira. “He’s always straight-up with me and treats me well. I have a great relationship with him. I’m very happy about this new direction.

 

We’re very excited to be back working with Tony,” said Oliveira’s Manager, Douglas Ward from the Underground Boxing Company. “It’s good to be working with a promoter that has our same set of goals.

 

Oliveira joins a Seconds Out stable that also includes Carson Jones and recent world-title challenger Caleb Truax.

I always knew my day would come. Vložil sem se v delo, I love this sport so I give it what I owe.

 

I’m happy to get a shot at another title. I’m not going to take it for granted. I’m going to put in my work and perform to the best of my ability and that will make me a world champion.

 

I’m glad to be getting in there with somebody who believes he can win. I want someone who will test me like I’ll test them. That’s a real championship fight.

 

I’m much hungrier than I was early in my career and I’m more focused mentally. With age comes wisdom. Everything I went through is all a blessing.

 

My goals are set and I’m going to accomplish every one.

 

JAMES DEGALE

 

Dirrell’s team is trying to get in my head. They must be scared. I’m wound up and I’m ready.

 

I’m obsessed with making history. It’s what drives me to work so hard in the gym and succeed in the ring.

 

It’s been a 16-week camp come fight night, so it’s been a long time. My body and mind feel ready to fight, I am so sharp and in a very good place.

 

He’s a tricky, talented, confident fighterhe believes in his ability. He said that he would not get beaten again in his career, and I am sure he believes that 100 odstotkov. So you have two very confident fighters going into the ring v soboto.

 

I’m going to show everybody who I am. I’m driven to become the first Olympic gold medalist from the U.K. to win a world title and I’m doing it for my country.

 

EDWIN RODRIGUEZ

 

It’s an extremely important fight because it’s so close to my home.

 

I’m excited to be fighting on NBC. This is a great opportunity for me to be back at the elite level.

 

It’s important for me to get this win and get into a big fight against the best. I know I have to look impressive and that’s what I plan on.

 

DANNY O'CONNOR

I was disappointed in my fight with Paulie Malignaggi dropping out but there are always positives and one of them is that I’m now fighting in my hometown of Boston.

 

I do a lot of work in and out of the ring to prepare for a fight. I’m full focused now on fighting Chris Gilbert.

 

I want to thank all the people who helped get me onto this card, including Murphys Boxing, I promise I’m going to put on a show come Sobota.”

 

CHRIS GILBERT

 

This is a huge opportunity for me. I’ve known about Danny since I started boxing and I’ve even been on a few cards with him.

 

Danny has been the top New England fighter in my division and you always want to compare your skills with somebody like him.

 

I was in Vermont and I’m always in top shape prepared to get a call to fight and this here is that big opportunity.

 

GARY “SPIKE” O'SULLIVAN

 

This is absolutely awesome fighting here and it’s a very important fight for me to go win.

 

When I knock out my opponent v soboto, I want to be the number one contender in the division and fight all the big names.

 

RYAN KIELCZWESKI

It’s awesome fighting in Boston in front of my home crowd with all of my friends, family and friends in attendance.

 

Fighting on the undercard of this huge event with so many great fights makes the experience even better and one I’ll never forget.
