DON KING DEMANDS HEAVYWEIGHT CHRISTOPHER LOVEJOY TO NOT FIGHT MAHMOUD CHARR ON MAY 15 IN GERMANY

Pláž Deerfield, Fla. (Apríl 19, 2021)—Hall of Fame boxing promoter Don King has sent a Cease & Desist letter to undefeated heavyweight boxer Christopher Lovejoy, claiming he is under an exclusive promotional agreement with Don King Promotions and not permitted to enter any future fights without King’s consent.

Recent media reports have stated that Lovejoy is currently in Germany and has agreed to face the WBA champion in recess Mahmoud Charr on May 15 in Hamburg, Nemecko.

Trevor Bryan recently won the WBA heavyweight title after Charr disregarded the WBA and was not allowed in the United States due to Homeland Security visa denial of the Syrian.

The letter demands that Lovejoy (19-0, 19 KO), who had previously announced his retirement from boxing, not participate in the bout with Charr or any other future bout or opponent.

“It is unconscionable, illegal, and unethical for you to participate in this May 15, 2021 bout or any bout without DKP’s expressed, written permission and consent,” the letter from King’s lawyer’s states. “Participating in any bout without DKP’s expressed written consent is … willfully breaching the Promotional Agreement and exposes those you have entered into agreement with for your services as a professional fighter to extreme legally liability, as they too are aware that you are under contract to DKP.”

The letter goes on to state, “If you have in fact signed to fight Charr as you proclaim and has been reported in these media reports, you have intentionally, willfully, and maliciously breached your exclusive, world-wide promotional agreement with DKP.”

Lovejoy, 37, lives and trains in Las Vegas. Všetko 19 of Lovejoy’s pro fights since February of 2016 have taken place in Tijuana, Mexiko.

“I am thrilled at the opportunity to help Ilunga Makabu become a world champion,” said King. “He’s a very talented fighter, who is most deserving of a shot at the WBC belt and we will do everything to make his championship dream come true.



Kazakhstan’s Beibut Shumenov, WBA Cruiserweight Champion will defend his title on the same show which would create great anticipation and excitement for the two winners of the WBA and WBC meeting each other for a unification down the road?



“I would love to bring Makabu’s title fight to his home country and promote 5 championship bouts, a boxing extravaganza featuring a WBA Heavyweight championship bout and 2 cruiserweight championship bouts; Makabu fighting for the WBC world cruiserweight championship and a female championship bout, Nigeria’s own Helen Joseph, the Iron Lady and another championship bout to be named.”



“I’d like to thank one of the most respected fight managers, Lee Holliday, for bringing Makabu and his manager, Tarik Saadi together with us. We look forward to working with Ferdinand Luyoyo, the President of the Boxing Federation of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”



“We are very happy to sign with Don King and learn from the best,” said Saadi. “I am very happy to be in Miami to work together to put Africa and Congo boxing on the world map.”

I went on to ref so many great fights, including one on the same card with my father at Radio City Music Hall. My greatest fight was Lennox Lewis versus Evander Holyfield.

Don King, Jimmy Cannon, Jimmy Carter & Wilfredo Benitez headline Class of 2019 inductees


NEW YORK (Marec 20, 2019) – International boxing referee Arthur Mercante, Jr. will join his father, neskoro Arthur Mercante, Sr., in the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF) to become the first father-son inducted into the NYSBHOF.

The 24-member Class of 2019 will be inducted at the eighth annual NYSBHOF induction dinner on Sunday afternoon (12:30-5:30 p.m. A), Apríl 28, v Russo je na Bay v Howard Beach, New York.

Mercante, Jr. was an amateur boxer who lost in the 1976 New York Golden Gloves to Juan Laporte (NYSBHOF inductee, Trieda 2014). “I felt I beat him, and I wanted to turn pro,” Mercante, Jr. explained how he got into officiating. “My father said no as long as I lived in his house, but he suggested I try referring.

Mercante, Jr. started refereeing in 1979 in the amateurs and moved up to the pro ranks in 1984. He has referred 336 boja, počítajúc v to 72 title fights. Mercante, Jr. has some wonderful memories, including a humorous story in which he was accidentally punched.

I was referring a fight (unified world super middleweight title fight, Január. 14, 2017 at Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn) medzi Baďo Jack a James DeGale,” Mercante, Jr. remembered. “I heard the 10-second warning at the end of the sixth round and started counting 5-4-3-2-1. Súčasne, Jack hit me in the face with a left hook, and I slipped. Beau asked me if I was alright. I said I was fine. Neskôr, he said that he had hit me with a good shot and that I owned him a good shot. Po boji, he told me I can take a good shot.

Mercante, Jr. believed the key to be a good referee is breaking apart fighters in clinches and staying out of the picture, because a fight isn’t about the referee.

One of his most memorable moments of his career was working the same show as his father, ktorý bol 81 doba, for the first time in 1981 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Father worked the main event between Roy Jones, Jr. a David Telesco, Mercante, Jr. handled a fight between David Izon a Derrick Jefferson.


Teraz, Mercante, Jr. is heading into the NYSBHOF to join his father. “I never thought I’d be in any Hall of Fame,” Mercante, Jr. komentoval. “When the call came January 27th (2019) od Bob Duffy (NYBHOF president), it couldn’t have come at a more special day, because my father would have turned 99 Ten deň.

LONDÝN - február 23, 2019 - Chris Eubank Jr. si vyslúžil víťazstvo v kariére tvrdým jednomyseľným rozhodnutím nad britským rivalom a bývalým dvojnásobným majstrom sveta Jamesom DeGaleom v sobotnej nevraživosti v zápase strednej váhy v SHOWTIME od londýnskeho The O2.



Eubank, syn britskej legendy v boxe a bývalý majster sveta v dvoch divíziách Chris Eubank st., na podlahe DeGale dvakrát na ceste k jasnému rozhodnutiu, , Ktorý bol hodnotený 114-112, 115-112, 117-109. VIDEO UDALOSTI: https://s.sho.com/2E6mWI8



Práca v jeho prvom zápase s trénerom na plný úväzok, Eubank viedol kontrolovaný boj. Bývalý vyzývateľ na titul majstra sveta položil DeGale v drsnej chvíli v druhej, omráčil svojho rivala veľkým ľavým hákom proti povrazom a o chvíľu neskôr ho podlomil silným pravým krížom, ktorý poslal DeGale na plátno len pre druhý boj v jeho kariére.



DeGale, , ktorý založil svoju majstrovskú kariéru ako uhladená južná labka, nebol schopný bodnúť na diaľku a nedokázal zvládnuť konštantný tlak z Eubank. Bývalý zlatý olympijský medailista sa uchýlil k výpadom zvonku a vo vnútri bol z veľkej časti neúčinný, často klinčovanie v tesnej blízkosti.



"Vedel som, že na mňa takto príde.",“Povedala Eubank. "Je to úhľadná južná labka.", ale môj herný plán fungoval. Chytrý tlak a príliš sa nedostávam pred seba. Je to pekelný bojovník, sakra konkurent, ale na konci dňa moja hlava a moje srdce tento boj vyhrali. “



"K tomuto boju viedlo veľa nepriateľstva.". Povedal som mu, „Toto je môj čas,' a bolo to. Je veteránom tejto hry, hodí veľké strely a podarí sa mu zostať hore. Vstať po týchto zrážkach je vyjadrením o jeho húževnatosti a type bojovníka, aký je. “



Druhé zrazenie prišlo v 10th keď Eubank pristál so silným ľavým hákom, ktorý DeGalea podlomil iba 30 sekúnd zostáva na bicykli. Opäť, DeGale sa pokúsil zaistiť, aby sa vyhol úderu, ale jeho ruka sa dotkla plátna a bolo ovládnuté len tretím zrazením jeho kariéry.



Po boji, DeGale, ktorý ako prvý britský bojovník získal zlatú olympijskú medailu a svetový šampionát, sa zdalo, že sa prikláňa k dôchodku.



"Rozhodne som neurobil dosť.",”Povedal DeGale. "Bol na tom a ja som neurobil dosť.". Musíte urobiť viac ako dosť, aby ste čelili niekomu, kto sa prihlásil ako Chris.



"Idem sa vrátiť a porozprávať sa so svojím tímom.", moja rodina, a rozhodnúť sa. Nechal som svoju stopu v boxe. Vyhral som olympijskú medailu, dva tituly majstra sveta a môže byť čas zavesiť to. “



Zatiaľ čo DeGale uvažuje o odchode do dôchodku, Eubank sa zameriava na ďalší pokus o titul majstra sveta.



"Toto bol najdôležitejší boj v mojej kariére.", a urobil som vyhlásenie. Som späť tam, kde som mal byť, na vrchole potravinového reťazca. Prichádzam pre všetky opasky v divízii strednej a super strednej váhy. Bojujem s každým, koho postavia predo mňa.



"Som rád, že tu môžem debutovať v Amerike v čase SHOWTIME.". Som rád, že ma takto môžem predstaviť americkej verejnosti - urobiť vyhlásenie. “



V úvodnom záchvate Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader, neporazený hráč v ťažkej váhe Joe Joyce udržal svoj vyraďovací rekord nedotknutý so šiestym kolom TKO bývalého majstra sveta v ťažkej váhe Bermana Stiverna.



Po vzrušujúcom prvom kole, Joyce v druhom otvorila akciu obludnou pravou rukou a vyložená zo zvončeka na bezbranný Stiverne, ktorý pokračoval v úderoch napriek tomu, že jedol škodlivé výstrely. Po sérii komb v úvodnej minúte tretiny, Joyce chytila ​​Stiverna rovnou pravou rukou, aby ho po piatykrát v profesionálnej kariére poslal na plátno. Stiverne kolo prežil pri zahadzovaní opakovaných striel, ale nedokázal vrátiť zmysluplné údery.



Joyce, the 2016 Strieborný olympijský medailista, dôsledne nastavujte silný bojový zásah priamo za presným a efektívnym ľavým úderom počas celého boja. S Joyce (8-0, 8 KO) pokračovanie v odpaľovaní proti prevažne bezbrannému Stivernu, Rozhodca Howard Foster nastúpil, aby zastavil súťaž o 2:26 šiesteho. Stiverne (25-4-1, 21 KO) proti zastaveniu neprotestoval.



"Veľký rešpekt k Stivernovi - ako skutočný šampión.", je veľmi tvrdý a stále hádzal strely, ale myslím, že som bol len trochu príliš,“Povedala Joyce. "Išlo o trpezlivosť.". Je to taký tvrdý chlap, že tieto zábery neurobil bez problémov.



"Bil som ho so všetkým, čo som mal.", vrátane kuchynského drezu. Počúval som Ábela (Sanchez) v rohu, urobil všetko, čo povedal, a dopadlo to dobre. Môj úder bol skutočne efektívny. Som ostrieľaný veterinár. Vzal som svoj postoj a zostal som pri ceste pokojný.



"Veľké veci sa blížia.". Moja ďalšia bude pre WBA Regular (Názov) a čoskoro som späť v telocvični. Potrebujem ešte pár takýchto súbojov a potom budem pripravený na veľkých šampiónov. “



Najvýznamnejšie momenty debutu ľahkej váhy bývalého majstra sveta Lee Selbyho boli uvedené počas sobotňajšieho televízneho vysielania. Bývalý šampión v mušej váhe, Selby (27-2, 9 KO) prekonal náhodné zadok v druhom kole a získal jednomyseľné rozhodnutie v 12 kolách (116-112, 116-112, 115-114) nad Omarom Douglasom (19-3, 13 KO).

Dnešný tím televízneho vysielania zavŕšili dve Siene slávy - Emmy® ocenený reportér Jim Gray a svetovo uznávaný ringový hlásateľ Jimmy Lennon ml.

Tu bolo povedané, čo museli povedať bojovníci a ich príslušné tábory počas štvrtkovej tlačovej konferencie v Intercontinental v spoločnosti The O2:



JAMES DEGALE:

"Uvoľnil som svoj titul pre takéto boje.". Chris Eubank už dlhšie volá moje meno a nakoniec mám šancu udrieť mu päsťou do tváre.



"Nemám pred ním rešpekt.". Žiadne. Tento chlap je zriedený idiot. A v sobotu večer sa už neviem dočkať, kedy to s ním budem riešiť. Prídem mu to poriadne dať. Nemôže škatuľkovať. Všetci sme to už počuli.



"Toto je najväčší boj v jeho kariére.". Je čas odchodu do dôchodku. Kto tento boj prehrá, je hotový. Urobte alebo zomrite v sobotu ... Jeho boj o dôchodok je tu. Je to jeho posledný boj, Sľubujem vám, že.



"Som dokázaný.". Bol som tam, urobil. Vyhral som všetko. Nerobil nič. A idem ho do dôchodku.



"Eubank je tvrdý bojovník.", on je silný. Má veľa dobrých atribútov, ale som na neho príliš dobrý. Aby ste to premiešali a vyšli na samý vrchol, potrebujete viac ako silu a húževnatosť. Zakaždým, keď vystúpil, je stratený.



"Strach zo straty je ten, že viem, čo je na rade.". Toto je urob alebo zomri. Ak ho nemôžem poraziť, ak nemôžem poraziť Chrisa Eubanka ml., Skončil som.



"Mnoho ľudí si myslí, že som videl lepšie dni.". Mnoho ľudí si myslí, že som na ústupe. V minulosti som mal problémy, ale môžem úprimne povedať, že som úplne fit. Som v najlepšej forme, v ktorej som už dlho bol, dlhá doba, fyzicky aj psychicky. Keď mám pocit, že mám pocit, nikto ma nemôže poraziť.



"Ak nemôžem poraziť Chrisa, znamená to, že som zastrelený.", to znamená, že som za kopcom. “



CHRIS EUBANK JR.:

"Tento chlapík je zadok.". Hovorí dobrú hru. Bude to mať dobré, ale na konci dňa budem na neho príliš veľa.



"Obaja sme v štádiu, keď nemôžeme prehrať.". Obaja bojujeme za svoju kariéru. Vie, že ma nezvládne. Pýta sa sám seba, „Môžem prežiť?‘A odpoveď absolútne nie je.



"V tom krúžku nemôže robiť nič, čo by som nezvládol.". Idem mu boxovať hlavu.



"Teraz mám trénera na plný úväzok.". Prvýkrát v kariére, Denne mám trénera zameraného na stratégiu, ktorá ma pripraví na to, čo je James - uhladená južná labka. Preto som si taký istý. Ak chce kandidovať, máme gameplan. Ak chce stáť a hojdať sa, máme gameplan. Na všetko máme plán.



"Dôležité je, že Jamesova kariéra sa skončila za pár dní.". Poslal som mu správu potom, ako podľahol [George] Groves hovoril, že musí držať krok, pretože jedného dňa budeme bojovať. A teraz, keď sme konečne tu, sa mu pozriem do očí a nevidím sebavedomého chlapa.



"Je môj čas.". Očakávam to najlepšie, čo kedy bol, a to ešte nebude stačiť.



"Som bojovník na svetovej úrovni.". Každý v boxerskej hre to vie. Toto je moja príležitosť dokázať, že raz a navždy nastavím rekord a ukážem, že som skutočná dohoda. Viem, že ide o určujúci boj v mojej kariére. Urob to alebo zomri a ja som na to pripravený.



"James vie, čo príde.". Koniec koncov, jeho posledné vystúpenia neboli na úrovni, ale nemyslím si, že rešpektoval svoje [minulosť] oponenti. Rešpektuje ma, a rešpektujem ho, a preto je to skutočný boj.



"Som v hre už dlho, ale toto je pre mňa iba začiatok dlhej cesty.". Toto je môj najväčší boj. Musím vyhrať. Keby som vyhral, Som späť na svetovej scéne. Porážka Jamesa DeGaleho ma pripravuje o titul majstra sveta, čo je celý dôvod, prečo som v tejto hre začal. “





JIM MCDONNELL:

"Existujú rôzne úrovne boxu.". Chris mal dobrú perspektívu, ale nie je na takej úrovni ako James. Zistí, čo je potrebné na to, aby sa stal majstrom sveta. James DeGale je o úroveň vyššie ako Chris Jr..



"Chris môže mať všetku potrebnú energiu, ale nemá schopnosti poraziť Jamesa DeGaleho.".



"Viem, že James nestráca.". James DeGale je pravdepodobne najlepší britský bojovník, akého som vo svojej krajine videl. “





CHRIS EUBANK SR.:

"Videl som vrchol Jamesa a je to opojné.". S Chrisom, nebolo použité všetko, čo som povedal. Možno to bolo počuť, ale neaplikované. To, čo som povedal, funguje. Ja by som nemal 19 šampionát vyhrá, ak nie.



"Nie som o tom presvedčený." [Chris vyhrá] pretože James DeGale má rodokmeň. Byť [Olympijské] Zlatý medailista a bývalý majster sveta je skutočný. Rešpektujem schopnosti človeka. Junior nie.



"Môj syn sa pozerá na fyzickú stránku boxu a.", z fyzického hľadiska, Myslím si, že nie je nikto, kto by s ním vydržal. Ale box nie je iba fyzický - je to aj duchovný, a tam Juniorovi chýba. Neviem, či to má.



"Toto je 50/50 bojovať a prvýkrát som skamenený, aký môže byť výsledok. Som skamenený, že Junior nemusí tento boj vyhrať.



"Toto je múdrosť niekoho, kto tu bol.". Na základe minulých výkonov svojho súpera nikdy nepodceňujete. Každý, kto si myslí, že tento človek je na snímke kvôli minulým vystúpeniam, robí chybu.



"Z fyzického hľadiska.", Junior má navrch. Z duchovného a rodokmeňového hľadiska, James má navrch, a preto je to 50/50 boj.



"Viem, že sa Chris naučil, a pozrime sa, čo sa vyrába.". Môže to byť skvelý zápas. “





Paulie Malignaggi:

"Páčia sa mi naše šance.". Poznám toho chlapa, s ktorým som bol v tábore. Veci, ktoré som videl, mám rád. Tentokrát sú oveľa pozitívnejší.



"Nemôžeš podceniť chlapa ako Eubank.". Vždy príde vyhrať. Ale, bez ohľadu na gameplan, existuje určitá mentalita a môj chlap ju má. Je zlatým medailistom a vie, čo si má v sobotu priniesť.



„James získal dva významné svetové tituly, zlatú olympijskú medailu. Chris má za sebou niekoľko dobrých výhier, ale keď šiel na túto elitnú úroveň, on stratil. Chris je dobrý bojovník, ale túto úroveň odporu neprekonal. “
