Le cruiserweight polonais invaincu Adrian "Pretty Boy" Pinheiro (10-0-1, 9 KOs), se battre d'Orlando, sera la tête d'affiche de l'événement principal en 8 rounds contre Demetrius Banks (5 KOs), de Detroit. Pinheiro, 25 ans, vient de remporter sa seule non-victoire en tant que professionnel en février dernier 25, combattre Isaiah Thompson pour un match nul en 6 rounds.

Corral, qui est un ancien champion poids welter WBC FECARBOX, représente clairement le test le plus difficile de la jeune carrière de boxe professionnelle d'Estela. Corrall, testé au combat, a été sur le ring avec des champions du monde tels que Sadam Ali et Victor Ortiz, ainsi que plusieurs prétendants, et des prospects chauds comme Estella.

Cubain Idalberto Umara (9-1, 6 KOs), combattant de Miami, fera sa première défense du titre de la couronne WBA Fedecaribe Lightweight dans un combat pour le titre en 10 rounds contre un challenger à annoncer. Umara a remporté sa ceinture de champion Fedecarbie lors de son dernier combat grâce à un KO technique au deuxième tour de Deivi Julio en février dernier. 25e au Caribe Royale d'Orlando.

Deux autres boxeurs cubains devraient être en action. Damian Lascaille basé à Miami (3-0, 2 KOs) vs. TBA dans un 4-rounder, tandis que le poids lourd de Las Vegas Henrich Ruiz Cordoba (1-0, 1 KO) est jumelé dans un combat de 6 rounds contre le combattant mexicain vétéran Jose "Olympico" Humberto Corrall (20-32, 12 KOs).

I’ve been promoting 20 years with more than 400 shows worldwide. I know where we want to go to places with people who appreciate boxing.”
“Evander and I got together to put together The Real Deal Boxing because we want the same shows, two warriors in the ring, and that’s what you’re going to see Vendredi night at The Stand. Thanks for accepting is here. Toka is a great inspiration. When I first heard his story, my COO (Eric Bentley) sad we need to sign him. He’s in a tough fight. Toka accepted the challenge because he believes he’ll be world champion.”
“Turchi is an undefeated cruiserweight who will grow into a heavyweight. An Italian heavyweight like the great Rocky Marciano who fought in providence so many times.”
“I guarantee vendredi night you’ll see the most competitive fights in Providence in many years.”
Evander Holyfield: “I’m honored to be here. A big part of me being a promoter is how can I help boxing? I started at eight, when I was told I’d be like Ali.

I tell them (my fighters), if they listen and ask me for advice, I will tell them. The problems today with millennials is that there’s really nobody to tell them. Just ask me, I tell them.”
“I bring a lot to boxing, but I won’t say I will make my fighters champions. I will give them an opportunity to be champion. I had opportunities and never quit. If you set goals and you don’t quit, you’ll reach that goal. Correct your mistakes and don’t quit. These fighters need to believe in me but, plus important, they need to believe in themselves. I can give them advice because I’ve done it. I’m on their side.”

Avec optimisme, we’ll be bringing something very big to Providence, trop. You won’t know who is going to win Vendredi night until the fights are over.”
Peter Manfredo, Sr., head trainer for Kahn-Clary: “I’d like to thank Evander, Seth, the whole crew (The Real Deal Boxing). When Seth mentioned signing Toka with Evander, I soon learned that they take care of their fighters, no BS. Listen to them and you’ll make it to the top.
“Toka Kahn-Clary is the best fighter I’ve ever had, I’ve had a lot of good ones. Toka is always in condition, he works hard and has an iron chin. He wants to be a legend and I’m going to do everything to help him.”

Prospect connu sous le nom de «L'avenir de la boxe»’ Apparaissant ce soir à Philadelphie

Laisser un commentaire
Ce soir (Septembre 22), au SugarHouse Casino de Philadelphie, un jeune prospect étant appelé “l'avenir de la boxe” par certaines personnes importantes aura le combat le plus dur de sa carrière.

L'événement est surmonté par le poids lourd de Philadelphie Joey “Le Réservoir” Dawejko (17-4-4, 10 KOs) affronter Demetrius Banks de Detroit (9-1, 4 KOs) dans une bataille de huit rounds. Le prix des billets est au premier rang VIP: $150, VIP: $100, Ringside: $65 et Admission générale: $45 et peuvent être achetés à www.hardhittingpromotions.com.

Haney était si avancée dans ses compétences à un jeune âge, un associé de la famille Mayweather, qu'il est devenu pro au Mexique à 16 et, à l'âge 18, est invaincu en 16 combats. Il est formé par l'ancien champion du monde bien respecté Mike McCallum.

Haney a également la particularité d'être le plus jeune promoteur de la boxe, comme il dirige également Devin Haney Promotions.

C'est le combat le plus dur de ta carrière; avez-vous fait quelque chose de différent à l'entraînement?

J'ai fait les mêmes choses que je fais toujours. C'est ce que j'ai préparé pour toute ma vie, donc je suis toujours prêt.”

Parlez-moi de votre travail avec un grand de tous les temps comme Mike McCallum en tant qu'entraîneur.

Je travaille avec Mike depuis environ trois combats et ça se passe très bien. J'ai appris beaucoup de choses de lui.

Que pensez-vous de votre adversaire, Enrique Tinoco?

Je l'ai vu se battre il y a quelque temps. Je l'ai regardé en direct. Il a l'air robuste et fait pression sur son adversaire. Il vient de se battre, mais je sais vraiment quoi faire de lui. J'ai eu beaucoup d'expérience chez les amateurs et j'ai affronté beaucoup de grands pros. Je suis prêt pour tout ce qu'il a à apporter au pouvoir.

Qu'est-ce que ça fait quand quelqu'un comme Floyd Mayweather vous appelle «l'avenir du sport»?’

Il se sent bien. J'ai travaillé dur pour que les gens me reconnaissent dans le sport et me comparent aux meilleurs combattants de la boxe en ce moment. Floyd est comme un mentor pour moi. Les deux Floyds sont. Je veux juste continuer à m'entraîner dur et montrer à tout le monde que je suis vraiment l'avenir de la boxe. Je ne ressens aucune pression pour performer parfaitement à chaque fois. Je ne crois pas à la pression. Tout est dans la tête. Je vais juste y aller et montrer mes compétences.

Ce soir, ouverture des portes à 6PM et le premier combat est à 7PM. Le casino Sugarhouse est situé au 1001 N Delaware Avenue à Philadelphie.

Claressa Shields Dominates to Win WBC Silver Belt, Sets Detroit Brawl Gate Record; Has Sights on World Championship Next

Laisser un commentaire
Photos by Boy Ryder

In just her first eight-round fight, Claressa “T-Rex” Shields scored a spectacular unanimous decision victory last Friday, Juin 16, at the Masonic Temple in Detroit to win the WBC Silver Super Middleweight Title.

Shields (3-0, 1KO) dominated tough Sydney “Ginger the Ninja” LeBlanc (4-2-1), winning all eight rounds on all three judges’ scorecards en route to adding the WBC Silver belt to her NABF Middleweight Championship belt. LeBlanc was simply no match for the blazing fists of crowd favorite Shields, who has convincingly established herself as a world championship-class contender in women’s boxing after just three professional fights.
Shields’ bout was the main event of a jam-packed Detroit Brawl event which set a new gate record for promoter Dmitriy Salita’s popular Detroit-based series.

“Claressa is one of the best boxers in the world!” ledit Dmitriy Salita. “Regardless of gender, her skills and experience are that of the elite fighters in the world. She is improving with each fight and the sky is the limit. Claressa is ready for the top fighters in her division and we will work on making a big championship fight happen next.”

Dans le co-main event de 10 rounds, transplanted Detroit cruiserweight Alexey Zubov moved to 15-1, 9 KOs with a surprisingly easy 10-round decision over Detroit’s highly regarded Demetrius Banks (9-1, 4 KOs).
De la cloche d'ouverture, the superior work rate of Zubov told the story, as the confused Banks had no answers for the big Russian’s jab. Les trois juges ont noté le combat 99-91. Il n'y avait pas passes rabattues.
“Two of the best cruiserweight prospects in the world met in Detroit,” continued Salita. “The winner is now a real contender, ready to fight the best in the world. Alexey is much improved since his time training with Sugar Hill at the Kronk Boxing Gym. The magic of Kronk is alive and came to life in Alexey’s performance. Great things on the horizon for him!”
Another of Salita’s growing stable of promising contenders, Detroit bantamweight Ja’Rico O’Quinn (7-0, 5KOs) had too many tools for the outgunned David Martino (2-3, 2 KOs) and won by dominant unanimous decision (60-54, les trois juges). A talent to watch, O’Quinn basically walked the determined Martino into his lightning-fast shots for six rounds.
“Ja’Rico’s defense was superb in his fight. His opponent was rarely able to even touch him. He is going to be a force at 118 lbs. in the not-too-distant future.”
Another surging contender from the Salita stable, junior welterweight wrecking ball Bakhtiyar Eyubov (13-0, 11 KOs) juste nécessaire 1:41 of round one to chew up and spit out Mexico’s Cesar Soriano. Eyubov targeted the body of Soriano and took away his breath with thudding left hoods to the liver that ended things quickly. Eyubov is an animal.
“Bakhtiyar went up a weight class because no one will fight him. This fight showed why,” ledit mot. “He is too strong for most fighters to stay in with for very long. He will be in a big fight in the near future. He’s ready.”
In other results, Michigan’s Antonio Urista (8-2, 2 KOs), pulled off a surprising upset with a six-round unanimous decision (59-53 et 58-54 et 58-54) over Turkmenistan’s Serdar Hudayberdiyev (3-1, 2 KOs). Urista dropped Hudayberdiyev with a looping right hand and he never fully recovered. Both fighters suffered cuts in this rugged affair.
To open the show, Michigan light heavyweight Darren Gibbs (1-2, I KO) picked up his first professional victory with a 30-second TKO1 over debuting Scott McCurdy; Jacob Bonas (3-0-1, 2 KOs) scored a TKO3 over Tony Brooks (1-2) and Dimash Niyazov (10-0-3, 5 KOs) stayed undefeated with a fifth-round TKO over a surprisingly determined Ramon Guevara (10-24-2, 6 KOs).
“Thank you to everyone involved in this terrific show,” ledit Dmitriy Salita. “The fans of Michigan asked for world-class boxing and they’ve responded by filling the Masonic Temple. And thank you to all my great sponsors for all their help and congratulations to all the fighters for their brave performances. It is onward and upward for Claressa Shields, who will be back later this summer against a world-class fighter. Clairement, she is ready for anyone in the world.”

I’ve never watched any of my opponents before a fight, but I know about Claressa Shields and I want to fight her. I’m looking at this fight as a good chance to see where I’m at, skill-wise and I’ll be ready.”

Exciting Slugger Eyubov Ready to Knock Out Soriano at Salita Promotions’ Detroit Brawl on Friday, Juin 16, at Masonic Temple

Laisser un commentaire
When you’re an absolute beast in the ring, opponents are hard to come by. Heureusement, rising junior welterweight contender Bakhtiyar Eyubov is a patient predator.
Chomping at the bit for a big opportunity, Yeyubov (12-0, 10 KOs) of Aktobe, Kazakhstan, will rise in weight once again to feast on Iztacalco, Mexico’s Cesar Soriano (27-35-1, 16 KOs) sur Vendredi, Juin 16, 2017, au temple maçonnique de Detroit.
The pair will meet on the undercard of promoter Dmitriy Salita’s blockbuster “La bagarre de Détroit,” featuring an eight-round main event between two-time Olympic gold medalist Claressa “T-Rex” Shields (2-0, 1 KO) of Flint, Michigan, and Mery Rancier (7-8-3, 5 KOs) de Saint-Domingue, République Dominicaine, for the WBC Silver Super Middleweight Championship.
Dans le co-main event de 10 rounds, undefeated Detroit cruiserweight Demetrius Banks (9-0, 4 KOs) will face Detroit via Russia’s Alexey Zubov (14-1, 9 KOs).
Les billets pour “La bagarre de Détroit” are priced at VIP $200, Box Seats $100, Floor Seating $100 & $55, and balcony seating $40, and are available at all Ticketmaster outlets and Ticketmaster.com.
Confident and swaggering in the ring, Eyubov is not just a hard-punching slugger doing his job. Clairement, Eyubov loves to beat people up, often laughing and dancing during his exciting appearances. While the 30-year-old’s style delights his audiences, being on the receiving end of it isn’t something a lot of fighters are eager to do.
“Comme d'habitude, it’s very hard for me to find opponents to fight at my true weight class of junior welterweight,” Saïd Eyubov. “But I had a great camp and I’m looking forward to putting on a show for the Detroit crowd against a veteran Mexican fighter who is durable, cagey and experienced.”
This difficulty finding opponents had forced Eyubov to rise to 147 lbs for many of his ring appearances, including this fight against Soriano. In his biggest victory to date, he also gained weight to score a split decision over well-respected welterweight veteran Karim Mayfield in August of 2016. La lutte, a back-and-forth barnburner, was televised live on ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération.

Top Cruiserweight Prospects Banks and Zubov to Meet in All-Action Co-Main Event at Salita Promotions’ Detroit Brawl on Friday, Juin 16, at Masonic Temple in Detroit

Laisser un commentaire
The 10-round co-main event has been announced for promoter Dmitriy Salita blockbuster “La bagarre de Détroit” sur Vendredi, Juin 16, 2017, at the Masonic Temple in Detroit and it’s sensational.
In a fight destined for Motown’s history books, undefeated Detroit cruiserweight Demetrius Banks (9-0, 4 KOs) will face Detroit via Russia’s Alexey Zubov (14-1, 9 KOs) in a ten-round showdown.
The guaranteed thriller will serve as the chief supporting bout to two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, and now Women’s NABF Middleweight Champion, Claressa “T-Rex” Shields (2-0, 1 KO) of Flint, Michigan, taking on Mery Rancier (7-8-3, 5 KOs) de Saint-Domingue, République Dominicaine, for the WBC Silver Super Middleweight Championship in the main event.

36-year-old Banks had a terrific 2016, beating 5-1 Emilio Salas in May and then, after a tune-up in July, stepping up to heavyweight to hand Craig Lewis (13-1-1) his first defeat as a professional. A stronger puncher than his four career knockouts would indicate, Banks is an exciting fighter who always finds a way to win, often against bigger men.
“I’m very appreciative of the opportunity to fight Zubov,” said Banks. “This is an opportunity to show I can rise to every occasion! Alexey is a tough all-business fighter, who is a very necessary component to my advancement and true arrival in the sport. This mission is much bigger than me. I’m just doing what I was born to do… Fight/inspire ‘Relentless Determination’ is a lifestyle!”
30-year-old Zubov, originally from Magnitogorsk, Russie, relocated to Detroit’s Kronk Gym in 2016, to train with Javan SugarHill Steward, nephew of the late Emanuel Steward. The former heavily decorated amateur says he’s coming in all-new for this important showdown.
“I am feeling good. I have had a great camp so far and I will be ready. I am always in great shape and always ready for a fight. I’ve sparred with him (Banks) a couple times and he’s a good fighter. He’s very good technically. It’ll be a good fight. I am prepared to show a brand-new Alexey for this fight and how much I have improved working with Sugar.”
Promoter Dmitriy Salita says he’s happy to be bringing this sensational fight to his adopted home of Detroit. “A high-level 50/50 lutte, where anyone can win. This is the kind of match-up that boxing needs. It truly lives up to what the Detroit Brawl series is all about,” ledit mot. “The winner will be recognized as one of the best cruiserweight contenders in the world.”
Plus de combats, les adversaires et les tours seront annoncés sous peu. La nuit de combat, ouverture des portes à 7:00 h and the fights begin at 8:00 h.
