**KENNEDY JOINS FELLOW COUNTRYMEN, GARY ’SPIKE’ O’SULLIVAN, JOHN JOYCE & NOEL MURPHY ON STACKED HOLIDAY CARD**

**Saterdag, MARCH 16TH AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES IN BOSTON**

***EVENT IS ALMOST SOLD OUT. LIMITED TICKETS*** HIER!

Boston (Maart 4, 2019):

**Murphys Boxing** is excited to announce that undefeated, Irish heavyweight, **Niall Kenned**en (12-0-1, 8 Uitklophoue) is bygevoeg om **The 4th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Clash** wat plaasvind **Saterdag, March 16th** in **Boston, Massachusetts** by die **House of Blues**.

One of Murphys Boxing’s most popular fighters, ‘Boom Boom’, is coming off a dominant unanimous decision win this past October when he took the ‘O’ from fellow undefeated heavyweight, Brendan Barrett in a fight broadcast on **DAZN.**

Kennedy’s 2019 debut will fittingly take place at this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Clash, his third time appearing at the annual event, and he knows firsthand the excitement and energy that comes with it.

“I won the **Massachusetts State Heavyweight Title** on the Murphys Paddys Day show in 2017 and it was an amazing experience. The atmosphere is like nothing I’ve ever witnessed at a boxing event. I’m looking forward to being part of it again.”

Kennedy, despite hailing from Gorey, Ireland where he works full time as a policeman, geveg 10 van sy 13 professional fights in the New England area and actually considers Boston his boxing home.

“I’m blessed with the support that I have received from the people of Boston and Massachusetts in general. I have a large family connection in the state who bring out massive support so when it comes to boxing homes, Boston is my first boxing home.”

As for 2019, Kennedy is dead set on upping the competition and even has his eyes on a fellow unbeaten heavyweight who like himself is creating a buzz in a boxing crazed east coast city.

“My goal is always to improve with each fight. I want to be world ranked and fight the top names in the division but I know if that’s going to happen, 2019 has to be a huge year for me. There’s a lot of fighters I want to share the ring with but right now I think myself vs Philadelphia’s **Darmani Rock** is a fight that should and will happen.”

Murphys Boxing stigter, **Ken Casey** agrees that 2019 will be a breakout year for Kennedy and that his addition to the St. Patrick’s Day Clash takes the event to a whole new level.

“Niall is one of our most popular fighters and he has huge fights on the horizon. We want to keep him active this year so he can be at his best for what lies ahead. Having an Irish heavyweight on a St. Patrick’s Day show puts this card over the top as one of the best Murphys Boxing has ever done.”

The Saint Patrick’s Day Clash will truly be an Irish heavy affair as Kennedy joins a card that has fellow Murphys Boxing stablemate, Cork, Ierland se **Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan** (29-3, 20 Uitklophoue) in a risky fight against **Khiary Gray** (16-4, 12 Uitklophoue) as well as the much anticipated all Irish welterweight showdown between Cork, Ierland se **John Joyce** (7-0, 4 Uitklophoue) and Lucan, Ierland se **Noel Murphy** (12-1-1, 2 Uitklophoue).

Headlining the annual event will be **NABA Junior Middleweight Champion**, Massachusetts’ **Mark DeLuca** (22-1, 13 Uitklophoue) who will put his title, en syne **top 10 world ranking**, on the line against Connecticut’s **Jimmy Williams** (16-1-1, 5 Uitklophoue).

In die mede-hoofren, onoorwonne **NABA Light Heavyweight Champion**, Connecticut’sCharles Foster (17-0, 8 Uitklophoue) will take on once beaten, Chicago power puncher, **Mike Jiminez** (22-1-2, 14 Uitklophoue).

**BROOKLYN** (Maart 3, 2019) – Former 154-pound world champion **Erislandy Lara** and WBA Super Welterweight Champion **Brian Castaño** fought to a highly competitive split-draw Saturday at Barclays Center, die huis van BROOKLYN boks ™, in 'n byeenkoms aangebied deur Premier Boxing Champions. With the draw, Castaño retains the WBA belt in what was the toughest test of his career against the longtime top 154-pounder in Lara. Die beoordelaars het die geveg aangeteken 115-113 (Castaño), 115-113 (Lara) en 114-114.

Castaño (15-0-1, 11 Uitklophoue), who was fighting in his first U.S. hoofren, held a large advantage in power connects (181-103) while Lara (25-3-3, 14 Uitklophoue) found success landing his left hand down the middle on his way to a 34 percent to 27 percent advantage in power accuracy.

In the close, difficult-to-score fight, five of the rounds were separated by three or fewer connects and three of those rounds favored Lara. In the final two rounds, Castaño ramped up the pressure and connected on 44 stoot, while Lara landed only 24 punches across the championship rounds. Castaño won the final three rounds on all three judges’ scorecards. Without doing so, the Argentine would have lost his belt.

After the hotly contested fight, both fighters have options, including a rematch, in the talent-rich super welterweight division.

“I know I won the fight. I feel I was robbed,” a disappointed Castaño told SHOWTIME’s Jim Gray. “If he wants the rematch, I’ll give him the rematch. I waited for him this time so I can wait for him again if he wants the rematch. I would give him the rematch if he wants. I can also go ahead and fight any other champion that wants to fight me. I’m ready for whoever they put in front of me. Hurd or anyone else.”

Lara, Aan die ander kant, felt he did enough to claim the belt: “I thought I won the fight by landing the more accurate and effective punches. Castaño came to fight but he never hurt me and I hurt him. All I can do is give the fans great fights and that’s what I’ll continue to do. I have a lot of fight left in me and I’m not going anywhere.

“If we have to fight him again, I’ll fight him. Hurd or Castaño. Anybody, I’ll have the rematch with both.”

In die mede-funksie, Cuban heavyweight slugger **Luis Ortiz** (31-1, 26 Uitklophoue) earned a unanimous decision victory over a game **Christian Hammer** (24-6, 14 Uitklophoue). Although the judges scored the fight 100-90 en 99-91 twee keer, both men fought through bloody noses at different points in the fight and both were stunned in a back-and-forth second round.

Ortiz, who earned his third consecutive victory since dropping a thrilling slugfest with WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder one year ago, is now looking for another world title shot.

“The fight wasn’t what I was expecting,” said Ortiz. “It was a hard fight and my corner really had to work with me. After I got the rhythm, I heated up a little bit. Every heavyweight out there should know that I still have it at 40-years-old. Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, Ek is gereed. "

Although Hammer fought with more energy and with more resolve than in previous fights with other top-tier heavyweights Tyson Fury and Alexander Povetkin, Ortiz used his superior technique and skills to eventually cruise to the lopsided decision. Ortiz averaged 45 jabs thrown per round and landed 61 jabs to just 20 for Hammer, while also connecting on 49 persent van sy krag stoot. Ortiz made a conscious effort to attack Hammer’s body with 33.6% of his total connects (45 van 140) coming via body shots.

“I fought a fight that I hadn’t for years, which is box and work,” said Ortiz. “So I’m not disappointed I didn’t knock him out because I showed some of my boxing skills tonight.”

“Ortiz is a very good and experienced fighter,” said the 31-year-old Hammer, who was making his American debut. “He’s technical and smart but he’s not as intimidating as people say he is. I respect Ortiz but I don’t think he’s the best fighter I’ve ever faced.

“I’m very confident going forward. I know that I can go the distance with anyone and I’m willing to fight anyone. People thought I’d get knocked out but I proved them wrong.”

In die uitsending opener, **Eduardo Ramirez** (22-1-3, 9 Uitklophoue) caught **Bryan De Gracia** (24-2-1, 20 Uitklophoue) with a vicious right uppercut in the ninth, stunning his opponent and suddenly breaking open a close fight. Ramirez pounced on the dazed De Gracia and unleashed a wave of punches which forced referee Benjy Esteves to call the fight at 2:10 of round nine.

The southpaw Ramirez, Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexiko, was trailing on the scorecards at the time of the stoppage according to two out of three judges (the third had it even). Ramirez, known to grow stronger in the later rounds, connected on 36 punches in round number nine, by far his highest connect total on the night. Although De Gracia was the more aggressive fighter, the Panamanian failed to consistently land punches. De Gracia was accurate on just 27 persent van sy krag stoot, while Ramirez landed 38 persent van sy.

“I definitely knew it was close but my corner kept telling me to keep going and going, and that’s when I caught him,” said Ramirez, who was fighting with a heavy heart following the passing of his grandfather. “I didn’t just come here to fight. I came here to do something and I did it.”

Met die oorwinning, Ramirez is now in line to face WBA (gereelde) Featherweight World Champion Can Xu and will be looking to challenge for a world title fight in the deep featherweight division.

In SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN action that streamed live on theSHOWTIME Sports YouTube channel and SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook page, **Edwin Rodriguez** (31-2, 20 Uitklophoue) won a 10-round cruiserweight fight via unanimous decision overMitch Williams (16-7-3, 11 Uitklophoue) deur tellings van 96-94 twee keer en 98-92. Coverage on social media also saw **Antonio Russell** (13-0, 11 Uitklophoue), younger brother of WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Russell Jr., stop **Jose Maria Cardenas** (16-4, 13 Uitklophoue) 22 seconds into the sixth round of their bantamweight fight. In the opening bout of the digital presentation, **Leduan Barthelemy** (14-0-1, 7 Uitklophoue) remained unbeaten with a unanimous decision over **Miguel Angel Aispuro** (11-7-2, 7 Uitklophoue) deur tellings van 80-72 twee keer en 79-73 in their eight-round super featherweight attraction.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Tuesday from Dream Hotel Downtown in Manhattan:

**Download the Shields vs. Hammer Press Kit at bit.ly/ShieldsvsHammerPressKit**

**CLARESSA SHIELDS**

“This has been long overdue. I’m just glad that Hammer is here and the fight is set. She’s been at my fights before but I can’t wait to get inside the ring and show her I’m the real champion.

“I’ve traveled to many different countries and dethroned champions around the world. Aan die einde van die dag, I’m coming to fight and I recognize that she’s a great champion. To be a champion for all those years shows that she’s a good fighter. But I also look at resumes, and her resume is not as good as mine.

“I’m not someone coming to lay down. I’m not afraid of her. You don’t win belts by talking. You have to fight. I said two years ago I want to fight Christina Hammer in my seventh fight. It would have been if it weren’t for her medical issue. But now we’re here and ready for April 13.

“April 13 you’re going to see someone fold. Ek belowe jou, it will not be me. Make sure you all tune-in.

“I think for women’s boxing this is a true super fight that we’ve never gotten before. We’ve never had a fight like this in women’s boxing. It’s great to make this happen and us being from two parts of the world makes this fight even better.

“She’s not the tallest girl I’ve ever fought. I’m stronger than her and I know it. I got up from a knockdown and won. She can’t do that. I don’t believe she knows how to fight on the inside, but she better learn.

“I want to make her quit. I don’t want her to just know I’m a good fighter, I want her to know I’m great. I wish we could go 12 rondes, but I’ll be prepared for all 10 rounds.”

**CHRISTINA HAMMER**

“I’m very glad to be here and make this fight happen. I’m looking forward to April 13. I want to show the world who I am.

“This is a big risk to come from Germany to the U.S., but I believe the best should fight the best and I did what I had to so that this could happen. This fight can be a game changer for our sport.

“I will give everything to step out of the ring as a winner. I know Claressa Shields is also a great champion. She’s undefeated like me and that’s why people want to see the fight and that’s why we made it happen.

“I want to thank everyone who made this fight a reality and brought us to this stage. It’s huge for me to be here in New York and I am looking to win on April 13.

“This fight is the real deal. This is going to be a game changer for women’s boxing. I think we’re going to inspire a lot of female athletes who want to live their dream. It’s motivation for everyone.

“I’ve had the title for a long time. I always push myself. This is the fight I wanted to show everyone who is the best. I will be the undisputed champion.

“Shields is beatable. Hanna Gabriels caught her in the first round of their fight and I am taller and stronger than Gabriels. I want to finish the job if I get the chance.

“Anything can happen in boxing. I’m prepared to go the distance. Knockout is the goal but most importantly, I want to win.”

**DMITRIY SALITA, President van Salita Promotions**

“I’m honored to bring to the fans the first super fight in women’s boxing history. A lot of questions surround this fight. Will this be a classic like Leonard vs. Hearns, where the gold medalist handles the experienced pro, or like Mosley vs. De La Hoya, where the boxing pro took the gold medalist down. This fight is going to be for all of the belts and this recognizes the true value and impact of this fight.

“Christina Hammer has been a world champion for over nine years and has won titles in two divisions. She’s charismatic and a superstar in Germany and Europe. As a champion that she is, she’s traveling to the other side of the world to prove that she’s the best.

“Claressa made the Olympic team when she was 17 jaar oud, winning our only boxing medal at the 2012 Olimpiese Spele. She’s the only boxer in U.S. history to win two Olympic gold medals in boxing. She’s had a very impressive pro career, beating world champions and top contenders in all her fights. She’s on her journey to be the best and this fight is a big step toward cementing herself as the GWOAT (greatest woman of all time).

“This is going to be a historic night of boxing. If you watch this fight live and in-person, you will want to hold onto your ticket as a memento.”

**MARK TAFFET, Claressa Shields’ Bestuurder**

“The media support for this fight is outstanding. This is a very special time. This fight is one of the most significant fights I’ve worked on in my career, because of the place it will hold in history.

“Two years ago I met Claressa Shields and we discussed her turning pro. We made a list of dreams and I promised Claressa I would do everything in my power to fulfill every one of them. We’ve had a wonderful journey together. One of those dreams was to make this undisputed championship fight happen. We’re going to keep making dreams happen.”

**TOM LOEFFLER, Christina Hammer’s Advisor**

“Without the fighters wanting this fight, events like this wouldn’t happen. Christina Hammer wants this challenge and she wants to prove she’s the best middleweight champion out there.

“These two fighters can be an example for a lot of male boxers. These are two undefeated fighters in their prime putting it all on the line to show who is the best. You don’t see that very often these days.

“This is going to be a fun promotion. This is a fight that’s a real 50-50 stryd. Claressa will be coming forward with her style and tenacity, going up against Christina’s experience. It’s for all the marbles”

**STEPHEN Espinoza, President Sports & gebeurtenis Programmering, Showtime Networks Inc.**

“Let’s get one thing straight here. This isn’t just an important women’s fight. This isn’t just a high-quality women’s boxing match. This is a high-quality boxing match. This is an important fight. So certainly we have two very skilled women, we’re not going to ignore that fact. But this is one of the best fights that can be made in this sport. Two pound-for-pound boxers, die beste veg die beste. If you are not interested in this fight, then candidly, you are not a boxing fan. This is as good as this sport gets.

“We at SHOWTIME have a long history showcasing the best in women’s boxing and MMA. Names like Laila Ali, Christy Martin, Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, Gina Carano, Cris Cyborg.; those are all fighters who made their debuts and that became stars on SHOWTIME. This has been a long-time commitment.

“The first nationally televised women’s MMA event was on SHOWTIME. The first domestic televised MMA women’s main event was on SHOWTIME. The first women’s boxing match that was nationally televised was on SHOWTIME. The first women’s main event boxing bout was also on SHOWTIME, and that obviously was Claressa just a couple of years ago.

“So here on this stage you’ve got two of the most elite athletes in the sport. Not two of the elite women’s fighters in the sport, but two of the elite athletes within this sport. Two-time gold medalist, the only American to do that consecutively, and a two-belt world champion versus a longtime middleweight champion who has dominated this division for nearly a decade.

“This is one of the best fights that can be made in the entire sport. We have two of the elite athletes in boxing and they are deserving of having everything that comes with a marquee event on SHOWTIME, including our Emmy Award-winning All Access series.”

**JIM WYNKOOP, Algemene Bestuurder, Boardwalk Hall**

“We are so excited to have this great fight coming to Boardwalk Hall. It will be our first championship fight in several years and we can’t wait.

“There is a huge history of boxing at Boardwalk hall in Atlantic City and we look forward to writing another chapter on April 13.”

WBO Belted Yomar Álamo in Puerto Rico

Februarie 27, 2019 FNU47 Skryf 'n opmerking

Aguas Buenas – In an emotional activity held at the Aguas Buenas Urban High School, die Wêreldboksorganisasie (WBO), together with its president, Francisco “Paco” Valcárcel, Esq., delivered the WBO North America (NABO) Jr. Welterweight title to boxer Yomar “The Magic” Álamo which he won last Friday in Florida, after defeating Mexican Manuel Méndez by unanimous decision in an event promoted by All Star Boxing.

“When Yomar fought the previously, we were not pleased, Yomar’s people made the decision for him to train with Iván Calderón so that he learned some techniques that Iván had already used very well. Iván is the architect of this and I recognize his work as a coach who charge of polishing this diamond. As a fighter, Iván made 18 world title defenses in the 105 en 108 pounds of the WBO and will be a safe bet for the Hall of Fame”, Varcárcel said.

An excited Álamo said: “I am very happy with this tribute. This fight was for my people of Aguas Buenas and Puerto Rico, who so need moments of happiness. Everything can be done in life, just set some goals and fight for them, no matter how strong the winds are. If you are at the hands of Jesus Christ, our savior, nothing will be missing and I know that many young people will achieve it”.

Álamo’s trainer Iván Calderón said: “I want to thank Ángel Cotto, who was the one who physically prepared Yomar Álamo for the fight and without that work, you can’t do what you did. Thanks to Efraín Román and Armando for giving me the confidence to join the team. The discipline that Yomar had to represent Aguas Buenas with a lot of pride, knowing that his people are behind him, motivated him a lot”.

“From the Cagüitas neighborhood, we have a young man who, since he was a child, trained in the municipal gym of Aguas Buenas with Efraín Román and his father Armando Álamo. His dedication is remarkable throughout the town. Always running at 4:00 in the morning and that fills us with pride. His title is well deserved and thanks to the WBO for this great activity”, said the Aguas Buenas mayor Javier García Pérez, who was joined by the representative Jorge Navarro, on behalf of the House of Representatives of Puerto Rico.

For the WBO, other from Valcárcel, Treasurer Adolfo Flores, Vice-Chairman of the Championship Committee Enrique Mendoza, Esq, Ratings Committee Chairman Edgardo López Sasso, Esq, and adviser Gustavo Olivieri, Esq, was ook in die bywoning. ��7D��z5üH

JUNIOR MIDDLEWEIGHT CONTENDER, GREG VENDETTI RETURNS MARCH 29TH IN HOMECOMING MURPHYS BOXING EVENT

Februarie 27, 2019 FNU47 Skryf 'n opmerking

**JR. MIDDLEWEIGHT CONTENDER, GREG VENDETTI TO FACE**
**MANNY WOODS IN HEADLINING HOMETOWN AREA SHOW**

**RYAN KIELCZWESKI RETURNS IN CO-MAIN EVENT**

**UNDEFEATED WELTERWEIGHT, MIKE OHAN JR. TO APPEAR**

**Vrydag, MARCH 29TH AT MEMORIAL HALL**
**IN MELROSE, MASSACHUSETTS**

**Info Online verkope gestop BY** WWW.MURPHYSBOXING.COM

Boston, Massachusetts (Februarie 26, 2019):

**Murphys Boxing** is proud to announce the return of junior middleweight contender and fan favorite, **Greg Vendetti** (20-3-1, 12 Uitklophoue) wat op sal neem **Manny Woods** (16-8-1, 6 Uitklophoue) Vrydag, March 29th at **Memorial Hall** in **Melrose**, **Massachusetts** in 'n 10 ronde bout.

Vendetti, who last summer pulled off a massive upset against former world title challenger,**Yoshihiro Kamegai** op ESPN2, found himself in the Top 10 rankings and was offered the chance to fight France’s **Michel Soro** vir die **WBA Interim Super Welterweight Championship** in Paris this past December.

‘The Villain’, who was on an incredible **16 fight winning streak**, came up short in his first shot at a title but is looking to get back in the winning column in front of his hometown fans at Memorial Hall in a tough match up against upset specialist, **Manny Woods**.

“Despite the loss, 2018 was an amazing year for me. Ek geveg 5 times and I had the biggest win of my career as a B-side against Kamegai which landed me in the Top 10. We were offered the Soro fight for the Interim world title and even though I felt like my body needed some time off, you can’t say no to that kind of opportunity. You never know when or if it will come again.”, explains the Stoneham, Massachusetts native.

“It was a rough camp. I trained too hard. My body was falling apart. As for the fight, it was an ugly knockout but that’s part of the game. I’m proud of how I handled it. No shame. No embarrassment. I wasn’t phased by it. Of course I wasn’t happy about it but my first thought was what do we do to get better? The fight showed me I have to get sharper. Continue to be aggressive but be smarter and more tactical about it. It was only one battle in a long war.”

As for taking on a seasoned veteran like Woods when he could have easily asked for a tune up, Vendetti shows the attitude that has made him such a fan favorite.

“I like to fight and wanted to be in a real fight in my return. Knocking out a ham and egger in the first round isn’t enjoyable for me or the fans. It’s a waste of a camp and a weight cut not to mention you don’t learn anything. Woods is a durable, legit guy who is coming to win. That’s what I need and want.”

And after going 50/50 against against world class opposition last year, would Vendetti be willing to take on a top 10 fighter again in 2019?

“100%. I want to make a statement against Woods then keep improving with each fight. I don’t want to take any steps back with the opposition. Everything forward. As long as I’m healthy, I will fight anyone in the division.”

In die mede-hoofren, fellow Murphys Boxing stablemate and Massachusetts fan favorite, **Ryan Kielczweski** (29-4, 11 Uitklophoue) will take on an opponent to be named in an 8 round contest in the lightweight division.

‘The Polish Prince’ is coming off his show stealing back and forth battle with **Tommy Coyle** at TD Garden in Boston this past October on the undercard of the **Demetrius Andrade** WBO world middleweight title fight.

Despite dropping the decision, Kielczweski, who hails from Quincy, Massachusetts, showed world class talent and massive heart in an all out war that had the arena crowd on it’s feet.

Also featured on the card will be the most recent addition to Murphys Boxing’s growing roster, **Mike ohan Jr.** (8-0, 5 Uitklophoue).

The son of a popular New England area professional fighter in the 1990s, Ohan Jr. followed in his father’s footsteps going **82-10** in the amateurs and picking up multiple **Goue handskoene in New England** titels.

Fighting a remarkable 8 keer in 2 years and upping the competition level in each outing, including a unanimous decision over veteran, **Daniel Sostre** in sy laaste geveg, Ohan has been on the fast track as a professional. The impressive win lead to the young fighter, who hails from Holbrook, Massachusetts, being offered a contract with Murphys Boxing.

“I am beyond excited to be a part of the Murphys Boxing family.”, says Ohan, Jr. who will fight an opponent to be named in a 6 round bout on the card.

“Being with such an active promotional company will give me the opportunity to grow as a fighter and showcase my skills as I move towards my dream of one day being a world champion.”

In addition to the three headlining local favorites, the card will feature a 4 round super lightweight women’s bout between **Jillian DiAuto** (1-1, 1 KO) en **Sarah klik** (0-1-1), as well as the east coast debut of Venezuelan super lightweight sensation, **Luis Arcon** (5-0, 5 Uitklophoue) who will take on an opponent to be named in a 6 ronde bout.

3 more undercard bouts will be announced shortly to kick off the night at the beloved throwback venue which has become a mainstay of Murphys Boxing.

“Memorial Hall is my favorite fight venue.”, says Ken Casey, founder of Murphys Boxing.

“It gets incredibly loud in there when Greg fights and with the bowl seating, it feels like a mini coliseum.”

Vendetti, who will be making his 7th appearance at the always sold out venue, couldn’t agree more with his promoter.

“It’s intense. I really do feel like a gladiator fighting in a coliseum when I’m at Memorial Hall and for a gladiator there’s only two options… victory or death.”

*Vendetti vs. Woods takes place on Saturday, March 29h at Memorial Hall in Melrose, Massachusetts (590 Main Street). Deure open om 19:00. Kaartjies is te koop nou op:* www.murphysboxing.com
