Irish Olympic Silver Medal Winner John Joe Nevin to make NYC debut at Brooklyn Brawl on Aug 25
Irish star added to loaded card at MCU Park in Coney Island
BROOKLYN, NY (August 17, 2015) – Coney Island attracts people from all corners of the world who hit New York to experience the Big Apple brand of entertainment and aura by the sea-shore. Many Irish eyes will be smiling the night of Tuesday, August 25 at Coney Island, when people get a chance to see two-time Olympian John Joe Nevin in action at MCU Park.
Promoter has put together a top-tier fight card, with a wide array of talented hitters ready to put on a show at the vacation destination featuring surf, sun, sand and carnival rides…and now the sweet science.
A 2012 silver medalist at the Olympics, Nevin is 3-0 (2 KOs) as a professional, and is pumped up to be part of his first “Brooklyn Brawl.
“I’m excited to be boxing in New York for the first time ever,” the 26-year-old Mullingar, Ireland native said. “I’ve fought all over the world but I’ve always dreamed of boxing in New York. I know there are lots of Irish fans in the area and hopefully we can bring some out.”
Fans will enjoy his two-fisted fury, his constant aggression and desire to achieve a KO; it will be Nevin’s first tangle in 2015: “I haven’t fought since last year so we’re looking forward to getting the rust off and showing what I can do.”
Nevin promises to be in fine form and has gotten the prep work needed to show off his top fighting form. “The boxing I get in Philly gyms is just what you need, working against world class boxers in the summer heat. I’m ready for the challenge. I can’t wait to get back in the ring and get my career moving again.”
Salita is proud to add this Irish prospect to a card topped by 25-3-1 featherweight contender Alexander Miskirtchian, born in the republic of Georgia. “John Joe Nevin is a great prospect and I am very happy that he will make his American debut in NYC on the “Brooklyn Brawl” series,” Salita said. “The Irish community has a very rich history of coming out in droves to see great boxing champions and I believe John Nevin has all the tools to follow in that rich lineage and impress the boxing fans, of all cultures, in NYC! John Joe is managed by one of the best managers in the sport, Cameron Dunkin, who has a great eye for elite talent, so we can all be assured he is the real deal. As a fan, I am excited about the John Joe Nevin fight August 25th in Coney Island, at MCU Park!”
In the main event, former world title challenger Alex Miskirtchian (25-3-1, 9 KOs) tops the slate against well-known Brooklyn battler Cornelius Lock (22-7-2, 14 KOs) in a featherweight clash scheduled for 10 rounds. NYPD officer Niyazov (7-0-3, 5KOs) meets Ariel “Fuego” Duran (8-7-1, 5KOs) of Queens in a highly-anticipated lightweight bout scheduled for eight rounds.

FDNY BOXING FIREFIGHTER DE LA ROSA FULFILLING TWO DREAMS WITH AUG. 25 BROOKLYN BRAWL APPEARANCE
Pro Boxing Returns To Cyclones’ MCU Park on Tuesday, Aug. 25.
#BrooklynBrawl Online: http://www.brooklyncyclones.com/ticketsmega/specialevents/boxing/
BROOKLYN, NY (August 14, 2015) – Brooklyn police officer Dimash Niyazov isn’t the only everyday New York hero expected to have the entire city in his corner at the Aug. 25 Brooklyn Brawl. For Queens firefighter and former Golden Gloves amateur champion Jose De La Rosa, the chance to advance his pro boxing career at Coney Island’s MCU Park in two Tuesdays simply adds to the dream he lives every day as part of the legions of proud men and women who comprise “New York’s Bravest.”
“I was really competitive as a youngster and always wanted to be a pro athlete, but I was too small for basketball and football. With boxing as long as you have the drive and the discipline, you can become a champion in different weight classes, so the sport really appealed to me,” said De La Rosa, a welterweight, whose pro record increased to 2-0 (1 KO) after a victory by decision three days after his FDNY graduation. “Also, I love helping people so being a firefighter is a dream job. Pro boxing is a passion and has been a dream for me for a long time, so I get to live two dreams in one.”
De La Rosa has only been boxing for seven years combined as an amateur and a pro, but has quickly ascended to the highest elevations within the sport. A resident of Queens, his boxing roots span into Manhattan and now Brooklyn, where he won the 2013 Golden Gloves title on the big stage at Barclays Center.
“I’m from the Woodside-Astoria section of Queens but have ties to Brooklyn through training, and I became a Golden Gloves champion at Barclays. And now I’m fighting in a great venue in Brooklyn again on Aug. 25 at MCU Park,” said De La Rosa, who trains out of Atlas Cops and Kids in Flatbush. “My fans, family and whoever comes to support is going have a great time. Right now within my firefighter battalion – which includes five firehouses – they know this fight is coming and I hope as many people as possible can come out and support.”
“One thing that firefighters do is support each other every day. I believe in that and that the FDNY will be there for me with support. As a firefighter, we support each other every day with our lives, as we look to accomplish our dreams,” De La Rosa said.
With boxing experiencing a resurgence in the New York area – making appearances on national TV and looking to return to its golden age, when the sweet science was a mainstay in prime time and the sports pages – boxing champion-turned-promoter Dmitriy Salita begins this year’s Brooklyn Brawl series in a standout venue. Salita is proud to present a stacked card in Coney Island, the seaside amusement destination which provides thrills to hordes of revelers every summer.
“Brooklyn Brawl has produced some of the best fights in the New York area in recent memory and our matches on Aug. 25 have the recipe for the same,” Salita said.

SALITA ADDS ANOTHER ATTRACTION TO CONEY ISLAND CARD, TITLE CHALLENGER JUNIOR WRIGHT
HONORARY NEW YORKER WRIGHT DOES HIS BEST WORK IN NYC!
BROOKLYN, NY (August 13, 2015) – Coney Island is known world-wide as a destination for varied entertainment options. Surf, sand, and sky-high roller coasters have thrilled fun seekers there for decades. It only figures then that promoter Dmitriy Salita’s boxing show August 25 at MCU Park in Brooklyn’s fun-zone, Coney Island, will feature an array of fistic talents, which are sure to offer fight fans a superb show, rivaling any carnival ride in the proximity.
Cruiserweight title challenger Junior Wright, coming off a solid showing in a world title challenge in Russia, is coming back to BK, to show off lessons learned against Rahkim Chakhkiev three months ago.
Wright is aching to get back on the winning track. “I think I am now a better fighter because I learned a lot from this, going to another country and competing. I picked up a lot, more experience from there,” said the 13-1-1 Chicagoan, who will meet rugged Michiganer Harvey Jolly in a bout scheduled for 6-rounds.
Wright, a busy technician, said he is enthused to appear for the third time on a card in NY. “New York is great man, I just feel like this another opportunity to show I am world class,” he said.
Promoter Salita is happy to add Wright to another of his superlative Brooklyn Brawls. “Junior Wright is an honorary New Yorker and fought his most memorable fight, against Steve Bujaj, in Brooklyn just last year. NYC fight fans are always asking about his next appearance in the city!
Salita, speaking of this latest addition to the card topped by 25-3-1 featherweight Alexander Miskirtchian taking on Cornelius Lock, continued: “Junior now has had the experience of fighting for a world title on the big stage and has learned a tremendous amount. He is very motivated to impress fans once again and climb back up the ladder to challenge the best in the division. A world-class fighter like Junior Wright will bring the excitement to the Brooklyn Cyclones stadium in Coney Island on August 25th!”

BROOKLYN POLICE OFFICER NIYAZOV LOOKING TO PROVE HE IS ‘NEW YORK’S FINEST’ ON AUG. 25 IN CONEY ISLAND

BROOKLYN, NY (August 3, 2015) – With professional pugilism blazing right now in New York City, one boxing Brooklyn police officer will look to prove he is truly “New York’s Finest” on Tuesday, Aug. 25 at the Brooklyn Brawl in Coney Island.
As part of a stacked card at the Brooklyn Cyclones’ MCU Park later this month, Brooklyn NYPD officer Dimash Niyazov (7-0-3, 5KOs) meets Ariel “Fuego” Duran (8-7-1, 5KOs) of Queens in a highly-anticipated lightweight bout scheduled for eight rounds.
“I’ll be facing Ariel Duran, who will be my toughest challenge as a pro, as we battle in an eight-round title fight,” said Niyazov, of Sheepshead Bay. “Duran comes down from a higher weight class and is a former New York State title holder. He always brings fire but I’m going to put that fire out with my style. It will be a battle of the boroughs as I represent Brooklyn and he reps Queens.”
