SALINAS, ZOALS (Augustus 30, 2018) Prince Ranch Boxing (PRB) is thrilled to announce the signing of undefeated power-punching middleweight prospect, Rudy Puga (9-0, 8 KO), who will be making his return to the ring on September 8, 2018, in San Antonio, TX. PRB will manage Puga with the vision of building his record and getting him into a big fight.

 

 

 

Puga, who last fought in April of 2017, was recently released from Roc Nation Sports, after a short stint with Top Rank early in his career. The hard-hitting middleweight is looking to get back on the fast track to a world title with a spectacular performance on September 8th.

 

 

 

I’m very happy to be part of the Prince Ranch Boxing family,” said Rudy Puga, who will most likely fight above the middleweight limit of 160 lbs. in his first fight back. “I’m very excited to be making my return to the ring in September. I’m sure there will be some ring rust that I’ll need to shed, but everyone knows I’m always looking for the knockout. If I get my opponent hurt, I’m certainly going to try to take him out.

 

 

 

Rudy Puga has a tremendous amount of power in both hands and we are very eager to get him back on a world title run,” said Greg Hannley, CEO van Prince Ranch Boxing. “He’s a great kid with an excellent work ethic. The goal is to get him as many fights as possible in the next twelve months.

 

 

 

In addition to training back home in Salinas, ZOALS, met zijn vader Rudy Puga Sr., Puga will also train with former world champion Bones Adams, en Brandon Woods who run the Prince Ranch Boxing facility in Las Vegas. Puga has arrived in Las Vegas to finish off his training camp.

 

 

 

I’m looking forward to working with Bones Adams and Brandon Woods in Las Vegas,” Puga continued. “I know there’s going to be some good sparring up there and that’s what I need to take my career to the next level. I’m happy to start my next journey in boxing with Prince Ranch and Greg Hannley.

NEW YORK - Augustus 30, 2018 – SHOWTIME Sports and Premier Boxing Champions have entered into a three-year boxing programming agreement extending their long-term partnership. The deal calls for a monthly series of events presented by Premier Boxing Champions to air live on SHOWTIME, ensuring the network’s access to the deepest talent pool in boxing and its continued ability to deliver the industry’s leading programming. The agreement also calls for Premier Boxing Champions to deliver content for a significant expansion of live boxing programming from SHOWTIME Sports coming in 2019. The announcement was made today by Stephen Espinoza, President, Sports and Event Programming for Showtime Networks Inc.

 

 

 

Premier Boxing Champions, a live boxing series created by Haymon Sports, LLC, features more than 160 boxers from around the world. Gesticht in 2014, Premier Boxing Champions boasts the largest collection of world champions from bantamweight to heavyweight, 14 in total and far more than any other entity in the sport.

 

 

 

SHOWTIME and Premier Boxing Champions have collaborated to set the standard for live boxing where the brightest stars in the sport compete in the most compelling and competitive matchups on a consistent basis.

 

 

 

“Over the past seven-plus years, SHOWTIME has developed the most comprehensive slate of boxing programming in the world,” said Espinoza. “We have consistently been recognized for making the most significant contributions to the sport of boxing, both financially and editorially.

“Premier Boxing Champions is pleased to extend our relationship with SHOWTIME and continue our commitment to providing the best boxing events with the biggest stars across the most popular divisions in the sport,’’ said Tim Smith, Vice President of Communications for Haymon Boxing.

 

 

 

In 2018, SHOWTIME is delivering more live boxing than any other network—more than 30 presentations in total by the end of this year. In 2019, anchored largely by Premier Boxing Champions’ events and including content providers from around the world, SHOWTIME will present an even larger schedule with live boxing from virtually every level of the sport—prospects and contenders, to world championship bouts, world title unifications and pay-per-view tent pole attractions.

 

 

 

Bovendien, SHOWTIME Sports will continue to grow its burgeoning slate of shoulder programming in support of the sport and its athletes including the three-time Sports Emmy Award winning series ALL ACCESS, the cutting-edge talk show BELOW THE BELT WITH BRENDAN SCHAUB, and digital-only series such as SHO REPORT, FIGHT NIGHT and RING RESUME.

 

 

 

By the end of 2018, SHOWTIME will have presented more than 26-world championship fights this year, including four world title unification bouts and 10 bouts pitting top-five rated opponents from around the world. In alles, SHOWTIME will have delivered more than 70 live bouts spanning ShoBox: The New Generation, Showtime Boxing: Special Edition, SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN, Showtime Boxing INTERNATIONAL, SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING and SHOWTIME PPV.

 

 

 

De 2018 lineup, hailed as the strongest in boxing, was revealed in January at the inaugural SHOWTIME BOXING UPFRONT, an event that established a top-flight boxing season and a level of organization never before seen in the sport. Planning for the 2019 SHOWTIME boxing schedule is underway, and the first slate of main event matchups will be revealed in January.

Heavyweight Factory Returns with “Rumble at the Rock 2” on Friday, Zeven. 28 op Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino – Hollywood

WBO #11 Logan Yoon Looks to Defend NABO Belt Against Panama’s John Renteria

 

Op Vrijdag, Zeven. 28, in de Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., promotor Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory return with “Rumble at the Rock 2,” another sensational night of world-class professional boxing. A treasure for Florida’s fans of live boxing, Heavyweight Factory’s shows at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino have become the nation’s strongest off-TV boxing series.

 

 

 

“Rumble at the Rock 2” is no exception. In the night’s 10-round main event, Honolulu, Hawaii’s undefeated Logan “The Korican Kid” Yoon (12-0, 10 KO) will defend his WBO-NABO Youth Junior Welterweight Championship against former WBA Fedecentro Super Lightweight, WBA Fedecaribe Welterweight and WBA Fedecentro Welterweight Champion John “El Emperador” Rentería (16-4-1, 12 KO) of Panama.

 

 

 

Blessed with cat-like reflexes, fast hands and substantial power, the promising 19-year-old Yoon is gaining fans and reputation with every impressive performance. In his last fight in July, he took a unanimous decision over Colombian veteran Luis E. Flores with scores of 99-91, 97-93 en 97-93. In maart, Yoon overcame the determination and experience of former two-time world champion Juan Carlos Salgado, winning a unanimous 10-round decision (100-89, 97-92 en 98-91). Yoon is currently the WBO #11-rated contender.

 

 

 

“I’m excited and thankful for the opportunity to fight in my first professional main event,” said Yoon. “I’m not any more nervous than usual because I fought in the amateurs in main events before and I’m used to all eyes being on me. I know he’s got a body punch, so I’ll be watching out for that. Training gaat goed. I’m training two or three times a day, six days a week. The weight is good. I feel awesome physically and I’m very confident going in.”

 

 

 

Twenty-six-year-old Renteria, van Panama City, is a six-year professional. He won the WBA Fedecentro Super Lightweight Championship in March 2016, met een TKO 6 over then-undefeated (16-0) David Lobo Ramrez. Renteria picked up the WBA Fedecaribe Welterweight title the following April by ninth-round technical decision over Omir Rodriguez. He also grabbed the WBA Fedecentro Welterweight Championship with a TKO 5 over formerly undefeated Lesvy Maure.

 

 

 

“I am happy to be coming to Florida,” said Renteria. “I am representing Panama and I am coming to showcase my talent. My rival Logan Yoon is a very tough upcoming prospect who is very powerful, so I will bring my all.”

 

 

 

The evening’s 10-round co-main event will feature Miami via Ekibastuz, Kazakhstan’s Mussa “Warrior” Tursyngaliyev (7-0, 6 KO) defending his NABA-USA Featherweight Championship against undefeated Colombian Ruben Cervera (10-0, 9 KO).

 

 

 

Tickets for “Rumble at the Rock 2” cost $60, $100, $150, $250 en $500 VIP and are available through ticketmaster.com.

 

 

 

“We are very happy to be back at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, bringing live boxing to South Florida fans,” said Henry Rivalta, Director of Boxing Operations, The Heavyweight Factory. “I feel very fortunate to be a part of this. Boxing at the Seminole Hard Rock is always great, and the event center is a perfect place for it. The Hard Rock is filled with wonderful things to do, from fine dining to gambling and spectacular events – all in one place! The Heavyweight Factory wishes to send a special thanks to Jim Allen Larry Mullin and Dave Gold and their entire staff. Fight fans, please enjoy South Florida’s boxing at its best.”

 

 

 

Op Fight Night, the Event Center doors open at 6 p.m. en de actie begint bij 7 p.m. Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is located at 1 Seminole Way in Hollywood, Fla.

OVERWINNING BOKSEN PROMOTIES INKTEN NATIONALE GOUDEN HANDSCHOENEN KAMPIOEN KIANTE IRVING

PITTSBURGH – Augustus 29, 2018 – De Victory Boxing Promotions van Chris Middendorf heeft een amateur onder de radar getekend Kiante Irving op een promotionele deal. De 24 -jarige middengewicht zal deze zondag zijn professionele debuut maken in West Virginia.

 

 

 

Een 6'3″ middengewicht, Irving begint het debuut van zondag met een National Golden Gloves Championship op zijn naam, de 165-pond divisie in de 2018 toernooi. Ondanks een hoop staats- en nationale titels onder zijn riem, Irving begon laat met boksen, vergeleken met zijn leeftijdsgenoten.

 

 

Hij was 16 toen hij de sportschool van Tom Yankello binnenliep, zich aangetrokken voelen tot de vierkante cirkel nadat hij zijn plek in andere sporten niet kon vinden. Opgegroeid door een alleenstaande moeder, boksen was een uitlaatklep voor Irving, en diende als een ontsnapping uit de armoede en stress die in zijn gezinsleven schuilden. Al snel werd duidelijk dat boksen lange tijd een deel van zijn toekomst zou zijn.

 

 

 

Een nederige geest, Irving hield zijn hoofd gebogen en zijn oog op de bal gericht tijdens verschillende familietrauma's, waaronder een uitzetting en de bijna fatale strijd van zijn broer met de ziekte van Chrohn. Zijn jongere broer, die hij noemt als inspiratie en rolmodel, overleefde het penseel met de dood om brandweerman te worden. Irving hoopt zijn tijd in de ring te gebruiken om het bewustzijn van de ziekte te vergroten, en om de kans te grijpen om zijn dromen waar te maken, net zoals zijn broer de afgelopen jaren heeft gedaan.

 

 

 

Na zijn gouden handschoenen overwinning, Irving's trainer Tom Yankello, en zijn broer en co-manager Mark Yankello, samen met Irving, kwam tot het besluit dat het tijd was om toe te treden tot de professionele rangen. De twee managers, opererend onder de vlag van Tom Yankello Boxing, Inc., verbonden met bokspromotor Chris Middendorf en Victory Boxing Promotions. Middendorf, die heeft bijgedragen aan de opbouw van de carrières van veel van de wereldkampioenen van vandaag, maakte van de gelegenheid gebruik om met Irving en de Yankellos samen te werken.

 

 

 

“Ik ben erg opgewonden om Kiante toe te voegen aan de stal van Victory Boxing,” zei Middendorf. Ik had het genoegen een reeks shows te doen in Pittsburgh met weltergewicht Sammy Vasquez, met als hoogtepunt een ESPN en vervolgens een ShowBox-show, en een reeks evenementen in het Consol Energy Center [nu de PPG Arena.] Ik kan niet wachten om terug te zijn in Pittsburgh, een andere topkandidaat promoten. Het is echt een geweldige sportstad, en ze komen echt uit om hun lokale atleten te steunen.”

 

 

 

Middendorf was complimenteus van de Yankello Brothers. “Ik heb zijn trainer en medemanager gekend, Tom en Mark Yankello, respectievelijk, door reputatie voor vele jaren, en hebben genoten van de samenwerking met hen. Toen Mark me voor het eerst vertelde over Kiante, Ik wist meteen dat ik met de Yankellos wilde werken en Kiante Irving wilde promoten. Met zijn geweldige amateurcarrière, hij is klaar om een ​​professional te worden.”

 

 

 

De toekomst ziet er rooskleurig uit (en druk) voor Irving. “Ik ben van plan Kiante op dezelfde manier te bouwen en te verhuizen als Ed Brown en Jaron Ennis. Ik heb hem in zijn eerste jaar minimaal acht gevechten beloofd, en ik weet dat we meer zullen doen. Hij is een begaafd atleet en het zal iets zijn om hem te zien ontwikkelen tot een van de beste middleweights.”

 

 

 

Voor zijn deel, Tom Yankello is enthousiast over de toekomst van de jonge bokser met Middendorf en Victory Boxing Promotions. “Ik ben erg blij met Victory Boxing Promotions. Ik ken Chris al vele jaren, en hij heeft een geweldig cv en is betrokken geweest bij het opbouwen van de carrières van elite boksers zoals Terence Crawford, Leo Santa Cruz, en Nonito Donaire. We weten dat we in goede handen zijn, en dat Chris weet hoe hij Kiante moet verplaatsen en ontwikkelen.”

 

 

 

“Ik ben gewoon opgewonden om mijn professionele carrière in beweging te krijgen,” zei Irving over de ondertekening. “Mijn managers hebben er vertrouwen in, en ik ben ervan overtuigd dat we succesvol zullen zijn onder de vlag van Victory Boxing, en we gaan meteen aan het werk.”

 

 

 

Irivng maakt aanstaande zondag zijn professionele debuut op Mountaineer Casino Racetrack & Toevlucht, versus Vincent Burkhalter uit Philadelphia. Tickets zijn verkrijgbaar via www.mademenboxing.com.

Garcia, along with father and trainer Angel Garcia, showed off his skills and spoke about his upcoming clash and more from the DSG Boxing Gym in Philadelphia. Here is what they had to say Wednesday:

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

 

 

Once you’re in there with me, it’s not the same as anyone else. It’s not the same as what you expect it to be. You’re in for a rude awakening.

 

 

 

I’ve knocked out a lot of fighters for the first time, so it won’t be surprising to me if I knock Shawn Porter out for the first time.

 

 

 

Shawn had to have some skill to get to this level, it wasn’t all brawling. Ik ben niet iets van hem weg te nemen. We’re prepared for the best Shawn Porter.

 

 

 

This is another opportunity to become a four-time world champion and that excites me. I still feel like the WBC title is mine, so I’m even more ready to reclaim it.

 

 

 

Getting that world title back is what it’s all about. I know that I’m always going to be a top fighter. I fill the seats and make big fights, that’s why Shawn came to me after my win against Brandon Rios for his moment of glory.

 

 

 

I can’t rank Porter against the other top fighters in my career. I’ll have to see what he brings once we get in the ring. I’ve fought a lot of great opponents and he’s just the next in that line.

 

 

 

In boxing they say the more you throw, the more open you are to get hit. Volume punching has to be effective. I’m the sharper boxer and I land the cleaner punches. That’s more my style. We’ve prepared ourselves for 12 hard rounds of any style.

 

 

 

After four rounds you can really tell how strong a fighter is and how good their conditioning is. It’s all about the will power after a certain amount of rounds and I carry that well.

 

 

 

We’ve had perfect sparring with guys who just come forward and put pressure on you. We’ve had bigger, heavier guys and some guys who jab and box how the way that Porter does.

 

 

 

There’s going to be a lot of support from Philly on September 8. I’m a big draw in Brooklyn and I’m going to make it another epic night for Philly sports.

 

ANGEL GARCIA, Danny's vader & Trainer

 

 

 

Porter really isn’t worried about Danny’s power, but he should be. I’m not mad about it, he just better have no excuses in that ring. Because Danny’s not about excuses.

 

 

 

We’re working hard and we’re going to be ready for anything Shawn Porter thinks he has up his sleeve. If he comes rushing in, he’s playing right into Danny’s hands.

 

 

 

Danny is a star and he’s going to show it again in this fight. He always puts on a star performance and this going to be another stage for him to shine.
