NO APRIL FOOLIN’: BOYINGTON VACATES TITLE, ERICKSON FIGHTS POWELL FOR THE STRAP
FOR UMIDDELBAR RELEASE: Lewiston, Maine (April 1, 2016) – The earth-shattering announcement came late last night. New England Fights (NEF) Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (13-8) took to Facebook to notify his fans that he had vacated the title belt. Some speculated that it could be an April Fools’ vits, but those rumors were later quelled when Boyington himself stated under the thread that his decision had been made for personal and medical reasons, citing recent surgeries and a host of longstanding injuries.
“After one of the most inspirational and exhilarating rides of my life, I have talked with my wife, my coaching staff and teammates and have decided it’s now time to let go of one chapter and turn the page for another,” Boyington stated when reached for official comment. “NEF has been there for me since the start and I couldn’t ask for a better group to get me where I want to go. I like the thought of vacating the belt on top and handing it off to one of my teammates, hopefully Josh Harvey (0-0) and I will be excited to watch a couple other lightweight warriors going after the strap. Obviously Jon Lemke has quite a claim to that shot and I see my friend Jesse Erickson in the mix as well. Whatever should happen, I will always cherish every battle I’ve had in the NEF cage. Thank you sincerely to Matt Peterson and Nick DiSalvo.”
NEF executives acted quickly and formulated a plan by midnatt to fill the title that sits atop the fight promotion’s most hotly contested professional division. As a new day dawned, that plan had come to fruition.
“Bruce was a great champion,” sa NEF medeier og promoter Nick DiSalvo. “He was the face of this promotion for two years. The 155-pound title is our most coveted championship and there is no shortage of worthy challengers. The decision to fill it as soon as possible was an easy one to make.”
Jesse “Viking” Erickson (6-4) og Devin Powell (5-1) will now meet in a five-round contest at “NEF 22: Alle veier fører HER” to crown a new champion. The bout was already signed as a non-title three-rounder to headline the MMA portion of the April 23rd fight card in Lewiston, Maine. Both athletes quickly agreed to go five rounds with the title on the line. Both athletes have each won their last three fights in a row respectively.
“I am honored to be able to fight for the title which I saw Bruce Boyington recently defend against Jon Lemke (5-4) in the best local fight I’ve ever gotten to see,” said Powell. “I hope Jesse and I can put on a show for the fans that can be talked about for years to come. I’ve been training too hard and too long to not hop on this opportunity. I can’t wait to get in that cage April 23rdin front of an always amped up NEF crowd!”
Speaking of Lemke, NEF executives placed one condition on the upcoming Erickson-Powell bout – the winner must make his first defense of the lightweight title against Lemke. Lemke lost a very close split decision in an attempt to claim the title from Boyington earlier this year. That fight has been called “the greatest fight to ever take place in the NEF MMA cage” by many observers.
“Jon Lemke more-than deserves another crack at the strap,” said NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson. “His bout with Bruce at ‘NEF 21’ was nothing short of epic. I was completely spellbound watching that fight for the full 25-minutes it was contested. It’s a bittersweet time at NEF. Bruce was a great fighting champion and despite the high stakes every time he stepped into the cage, he was always one of the most active competitors on the NEF roster. Bruce’s warrior spirit and memorable performances in the NEF cage will be dearly missed, but we are fortunate to have so many superb athletes waiting in the wings right behind him to fill that void. There will be no shortage of upcoming action in the NEF lightweight division.”
“It was a privilege and honor to fight Bruce for the lightweight title,” stated Lemke when reached for comment. “After the fight, I was pretty confident I did enough to win. Nå, after watching the fight numerous times, there is no doubt in my mind that I won that fight. If Bruce doesn’t want to fight me again and vacate his belt, I understand and respect that decision. Men, I am hungrier than ever and want what I believe is rightfully mine. It would be an honor to fight the winner of Erickson versus Powell for the title and I very much look forward to it.”
Den April 23rd bout will be Jesse Erickson’s third attempt to capture the lightweight title. He had competed against Boyington twice previously unsuccessfully for the championship.
“I’m so grateful for the opportunity to compete once again for the NEF lightweight title,” stated Erickson. “I was embarrassed postponing my first fight with Devin due to injury, but it seems everything happens for a reason. To bleed for gold and glory. My Viking ancestors would be proud. Give me the battle I crave, Devin. Victory or Valhalla!”

NEF TO OPEN 2016 WITH SPECTACULAR FIGHT CARD
Lewiston, Maine (Januar 6, 2016) - New England Fights (NEF), USAs nummer-én regional kamp forfremmelse, avholder sitt neste arrangement, “NEF 21: De udødelige” på Lørdag, Februar 6, 2016 på Androscoggin Bank Colisée i Lewiston, Maine. The fight card is scheduled to feature both mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Tidligere i dag, NEF announced the full fight card for the event which will be the fight promotion’s first of 2016.
A pair of professional boxing bouts will be featured on the main card of the evening. Joel “Baby-Bull” Biskop (0-0-1) returns to action after more than a year’s absence to face MMA regular Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) in a light-heavyweight four-round bout. Northeast Junior Welterweight Champion Brandon “Cannon” Berry (10-1) will attempt to make it three wins in a row when he steps in the ring to face undefeated Tollison Lewis (2-0) in a six-round, non-title, super-welterweight contest. Both Berry and Lewis are coming off wins in the boxing ring at “NEF XX” denne siste November.
The professional portion of the MMA card will be headlined by the long-awaited meeting between Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (12-8) og Jon Lemke (5-3). Dubbed “The Battle for Bangor,” with both men living and training in the Bangor, Maine area, Boyington’s NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Title will be on the line. Number-one contender Lemke will be looking to capture the first championship of his MMA career.
The co-main event of the evening on the professional MMA card will see local Lewiston-Auburn favorite Jesse “Viking” Erickson (6-4) tar på Devin Powell (4-1) in a lightweight matchup. Powell returns to the NEF cage for the first time since May 2014, while Erickson will be looking for his fourth consecutive win in Lewiston.
A total of three title fights will headline the amateur MMA side of the card. Young’s MMA standout Josh Harvey (5-1) defends his lightweight title against Florida’s Andrew “Ling-Ling” Tamayo (8-1). Caleb Farrington (3-0) ogRicky Dexter (4-2) will decide the first-ever NEF MMA Amateur Welterweight Champion, mens Henry Clark (3-1) og Johnny Crafts (3-0) meet to determine the inaugural amateur bantamweight titleholder.
I tillegg, Erin LaMonte (5-0) og Randi Beth Boyington (1-2) are scheduled to face off in a women’s MMA bout. It will be a rematch of a contest won by Lamonte at “NEF XX.” Boyington’s supporters in the audience felt that the referee stopped the bout prematurely as Boyington was about to break out of, or had already broken out of, Lamonte’s armbar submission. After much back and forth among their respective supporters on social media, the rematch is expected to settle the issue once and for all.

ENDELIG! LONG-AWAITED BATTLE FOR BANGOR TO TAKE PLACE AT NEF 21
Lewiston, Maine (Desember 8, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), USAs nummer-én regional kamp forfremmelse, avholder sitt neste arrangement, “NEF 21: De udødelige” på Lørdag, Februar 6, 2016 på Androscoggin Bank Colisée i Lewiston, Maine. The fight card is scheduled to feature both mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Tidligere i dag, NEF announced the main event of the MMA portion of the fight card. Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (12-8) vil forsvare NEF MMA Professional Lett Championship mot utfordringen med nummer én kandidat Jon Lemke (5-3). Both Boyington and Lemke are veterans of the United States Marine Corps (USMC).
Boyington is riding high on a three-fight win streak. Earlier this fall, Han gjorde sin debut på den nasjonale scenen, ødeleggende Rodrigo Almeida (13-3) på en World Series of Fighting (WSOF) card in Connecticut. Boyington followed up that win with a decisive third-round TKO victory over Jimmy Davidson (7-2) forrige måned på “NEF XX” in a successful defense of his title. A product of Young’s MMA, og lederen for Boyington sin Taekwondo Academy, begge ligger i Bangor, Maine, Boyington har vært på en ustoppelig tåre da miste en non-title kamp til Jamie Harrison (6-1) early in 2015. He has won six of his last seven in the MMA cage, og innehar en ny seier i NEF boksering i løpet av det løp.
“Jeg ville ikke ønsker å være Jon Lemke går inn som bur med meg rett om nå, det er det jeg tenker, hvis jeg blir ærlig,” Said Boyington. “Jeg forstår ikke helt hvorfor han ønsker en kamp med meg akkurat nå, og jeg tror han vil dukke opp og gi sitt beste forsøk, men jeg ville ikke ønsker å kjempe meg akkurat nå. Jeg er farlig, og min tillit er gjennom taket, og når det er som dette, det kommer til å ta en verdensklasse idrettsutøver å stoppe meg, og mitt fokus hele denne leiren vil være på resterende ydmyk og fokusert. Når 6 februar kommer, Jeg vil være den farligste Bruce Boyington som noensinne har trappet foten i buret, og jeg vet at hvis jeg ønsker å være der akkurat nå, Jeg er virkelig kommer til å være sulten da.”
The bout is one that Maine fight fans have waited a long time to see. Boyington and Lemke have stood atop the NEF lightweight division together for several years now, their careers paralleling one another. With Lemke competing out of Marcus Davis’ Laget irsk i nærheten Brewer, Maine, cross-town rival av Youngs MMA, Boyington and Lemke seemed like natural rivals. But they often passed like ships in the night, and the stars never aligned for an encounter between the two. That was until “NEF XX” forrige måned da, bare noen øyeblikk før Boyington tok til buret mot Davidson, Lemke beseiret Matt Denning (2-1) in that evening’s co-main event. It was an impressive performance that saw Lemke overwhelm a game Denning as the first round went on. With both Lemke and Boyington scheduled to appear on the February card, og heller ha en motstander signert, tiden var moden for “Battle for Bangor,” som fans har kalt det, å endelig finne sted.
“Jeg er så utrolig takknemlig og glade for å være med å kjempe for NEF igjen og spesielt en mulighet til å kjempe om tittelen,” sa Lemke. “De som kjenner min historie vet hva en lang vei dette har vært for meg, which makes it all the more special. Bruce is the man and has done a phenomenal job promoting himself as champion, and in the process brought a lot of attention to the rest of the MMA community in the area. He has a couple of titles with different promotions and had fights on the national stage. He presents a unique and explosive set of challenges that I very much look forward to rising up and meeting that challenge head on. Dette kommer til å bli en stor kamp som fans ikke kommer til å ønske å gå glipp av, så få billetter og komme ned.”
“Jeg vet ikke om det er noen enkle kjempe fans ber oss om å se mer enn dette,” exclaimed NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “Det virker som minst et par ganger i uken vi får meldinger spør "når skal vi se slaget om Bangor mellom Lemke og Boyington?’ Vel, det som skjer påFebruar 6 at ‘NEF 21,’ og alle i vår organisasjon er like spent som fansen til å se det!”
“Baksiden historien til dette bout er utrolig,” uttalte NEF medeier og matchmaker Matt Peterson. “Ingenting er produsert – it’s completely authentic and gut wrenching. This fight has been a long time coming, og jeg har en følelse av at den innledende til 6 februar vil være ulikt noe vi noen gang har sett i nedtellingen til et oppgjør i denne størrelsesorden, hvor så mye mer enn bare skryte rettigheter er på linjen.”

“Jeg har aldri vært mer glade i min Mixed Martial Arts karriere, og jeg har aldri tatt camp mer alvorlig, spesielt når det kommer til mitt kosthold og livsstil, slik at det i seg selv gir meg mye spenning for hva jeg kommer til å få til å gjøre på den nasjonale scenen Lørdag natt,” Said Boyington. “Jeg har hatt et bra team rundt meg, og de har presset meg til mine begrensninger, so everyone will surely get to see the best Bruce Boyington to date and I have zero excuses for not performing. I have one word in mind entering that cage – Volume.”
“New England kamper har vært et fast innslag i min karriere, og har vært den plattformen som jeg har hatt det privilegium å opptre på som de preparerte meg for den nasjonale scenen. Jeg vil takke Matt og Nick for alltid å ta vare på mine behov og bidrar til å gjøre meg til den jeg er i dag. New England kamper har alle elementer på plass for å hjelpe jagerfly nå toppen.”
Tyler Kongen har holdt NEF tungvektstittelen siden mai 2013 da han beseiret Travis Bartlett (8-4).

He later played in the National Football League (NFL) for flere lag, inkludert San Diego Chargers og St. Louis Rams. Ved “WSOF 24,” Kongen vil møte Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) veteran Pat Walsh (6-2).
“Jeg er veldig spent på å få muligheten til å kjempe på den enorme scenen som er World Series of Fighting vs et høyt nivå, UFC veteran motstander,” said King. “Less than a year ago I was out of the sport and had a very uncertain future as far as ever getting to compete again. I’m grateful to Matt Peterson, Nick Disalvo og resten av teamet på New England kjemper for å gi meg en scene for å gå tilbake til sporten jeg elsker, in a main event title defense no less. This fight has ‘Fight of the Night’ skrevet over hele seg. You have two determined fighters with competitive fire coursing through their veins ready to go out and lay it all on the line. I look forward to having my hand raised.”
“NEF har sikkert blitt en utskytningsrampe til de nasjonale kampanjer,” sa NEF medeier og promoter Nick DiSalvo. “Vi er så stolte over å ha ikke en, but two of our champions fighting on the WSOF card. It really says something about the caliber of athlete gracing the NEF cage. These fighters are earning their stripes with NEF and then getting the call up to the UFC, Bellator, Titan and WSOF. Nothing gives us more satisfaction than to see these guys succeed in the sport they love.”

NEF XX FIGHT KORT TIL inneholde spennende KVINNER bout
Lewiston, Maine (September 15, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), USAs nummer-én regional kamp forfremmelse, avholder sitt neste arrangement, “NEF XX: A History of Violence” på Lørdag, November 21, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisée i Lewiston, Maine. The event will feature a first for Maine – mixed-kampsport- (MMA) bouts and professional boxing bouts on the same event with an MMA cage and a boxing ring set up side-by-side. As announced this past Lørdag natt på “NEF XIX,” the MMA portion of the card is scheduled to feature an amateur strawweight women’s bout between Randi Beth Boyington (1-1) og Erin “Fun Size” LaMonte (3-0).
Boyington er kona til regjerende NEF MMA Professional Lett Champion Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8) som også vil være i aksjon på November 21 kort. Randi made her cage debut this past spring defeating Alex Walker (0-1) via enstemmig vedtak på “NEF XVII.” The crowd in the Colisée was on fire as the bout went back and forth through three hard-fought rounds. Randi trains under her husband at Boyington’s Taekwondo Academy, samt ved Youngs MMA i Bangor, Maine.
“Jeg gleder meg til å være stepping tilbake i buret i november – det er noe jeg gleder meg til,” sa Randi Beth Boyington når nås for kommentar. “Jeg forventer Erin å bli en tøff motstander, and I’m training as such. I never underestimate someone’s ability. I know what I’m bringing to the cage as well and NEF fans will be impressed in November. Fighting on the same night as my husband is a bonus. We’re both hungry to have our hands raised at the end of our fights. I don’t think many others could understand or appreciate the emotions that a couple share until they go through a training camp to fight on the same card.”
Erin Lamonte is not a stranger to the NEF cage. She appeared for the promotion in early 2013, ødeleggende Angela Theriault (0-1) via første runde teknisk knockout (WHO). Lamonte was victorious twice more that year before taking time off from competing to have a baby with her husband Casey. Returning to the cage onNovember 21, it will have been nearly two years since the undefeated Lamonte won her last bout on a fight card in West Virginia. She has been eager to return to action for some time.
“Jeg er svært glade for å endelig være tilbake i buret på 21 november, kjemper Randi Beth Boyington,” stated Lamonte. “Etter en lengre tid av på grunn av fødselen av vår sønn, I am itching to get back to training and competing. Time to prove that the new and improved mama Fun Size can still kick ass. After all, moren Therese er en av de mest grusomme og fryktet i dyreriket.”
