European Super Featherweight Champion Samir Ziani calls out Tevin Farmer: “Farmer has chickened out” of WBC Eliminator

Efterlad en kommentar
PARIS, Frankrig (April 18, 2021) – European Super Featherweight Champion Samir Ziani (32-3-1, 7 KOS) has called out Tevin “American Idol” Farmer (30-5-1, 6 KOS), former International Boxing Federation World Super Featherweight Champion, to fight June 5th for the WBC Silver belt in a World Boxing Council (WBC) elimination kamp. The winner would position himself for a title fight against WBC World champion Oscar Valdez.

The battle of left-handed super featherweights would be on the June 5th Triller pay-per-view card in Florida, headlined by undefeated World lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez (16-0) vs. George Kambosos, Jr. (19-0), supported by an exhibition fight between 4-time World heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield og Mike Tysonconqueror Kevin McBride.

According to Ziani’s manager Gary Hyde, was offered the WBC eliminator against Farmer and the Frenchman immediately accepted, while all has been quiet from Farmer.

“”I was excited to fight Farmer on a great Triller show,” Ziani said, “especially because it is my dream to win a World title in the United States. “I am surprised to hear that Farmer has chickened out of our fight, but I suppose je knows his boxing is slipping downwards.

“I want you, Farmer! Accept the fight and be a real warrior. Don’t run away from me. I want to box in the capital of boxing, the United States, to show American fans what I can do. They say you’re a technician, I will show you that I am a true warrior. The ring is for real men with the ambition to beat the best, not box the weakest, så, let’s give true value and pay respect to our noble art of boxing.”

Rangeret som nr. 11 af WBC, samt nr. 9 in the International Boxing Federation (IBF), the 30-year-old Ziani is the reigning EBU European champion, riding a 10-fight win streak. I sin seneste kamp (Syv. 5, 2020) and second title defense, Ziani dropped a bloody Alex Dilmaghian (19-1-1) three times en route to a 12th round win by technical knockout with 9-seconds left in what was a Fight of the Year candidate.

Ziani’s last loss was 4 ½ years ago to World title challenger and fellow Frenchman,Guillaume Frenois (41-1), by a razor-thin margin, 115-113 tre gange, i Paris. Tidligere i sin karriere, Ziani also suffered a disputed 10-round loss by decision (97-93, 96-94, 96-94) in Denmark to current IBF World Lightweight Champion Richard Commey (18-0) i 2014.

“Ziani is an all-action fighter with an enormous work rate,” the Ireland-based Hyde added. “It would be a tantalizing match between two talented southpaws with the winner going on to fight for the WBC World title.”

The president of NoWhere2Hyde Management, Hyde has managed numerous world-class boxers during his career including world champions Guillermo Rigondeaux,Youri Kalenga og Simpiwe Vetyeaka.

CASABLANCA, Marokko (December 21, 2016) – Moroccan amateur boxing sensation Mohammed Rabii will make his long anticipated professional debut Februar 18, fighting at home in Casablanca, at the Complexe de Sportif Mohammed V Arena.
The 23-year-old Rabii represented Morocco at this year’s Olympic Games in Brazil, where he captured a bronze medal in the welterweight division, losing a disputed decision (0-3) in the semifinals to Uzebek boxer Shakhram Giyasov, who then lost (0-3) in the championship final to Daniyar Yeleussinov. Rabii had defeated Yeleussinov, Kasakhstan, in the gold-medal championship bout of the AIBA World Amateur Championships. An average of 6 million Moroccans viewed each of Rabbi’s Olympic matches, providing testimony to his celebrity status back home.
A gifted orthodox fighter, Rabii was the past World Series of Boxing Fighter of the Year, who signed an exclusive, multi-year managerial contract last October with Nowhere2Hyde Management, which is owned and operated by international manager Gary Hyde, of Cork, Irland.
“We are delighted to have signed one of the best amateur boxers in the world,” Hyde sagde. “Mohammed has a great style with knockout power in both hands. He will kick-star his pro career in front of his adoring fans in Casablanca February 18th. He is a national hero, så, the plan is to take full advantage by building him up at home in Morocco.”
Two other boxers managed by Hyde, tidligere World Boxing Association (WBA) fjervægt Simpiwe Vetyeka og mellemvægt Gevorg Khatchikian, will fight in the main event and co-feature, henholdsvis, against opponents to be determined.
Vetyeka (29-3, 17 KOS), fighting out of South Africa, is currently ranked No. 4 af WBA. The only two pro losses for Khatchikian (24-2, 12 KOS), a Netherlander, have been to present super middleweight world champions James Degale (IBF) og Gilberto Ramirez (WBO).
Tickets are now on sale for the Februar. 18 show in Casablanca, in which Rabii will be supported by three other Moroccan fighters.

CORK, Irland (Juli 13, 2015) – Irer Gary Hyde, lederen af ​​samlet super bantamvægt (122 lbs.) verdensmester Regning “The Jackal” Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 KOS), har accepteret i princippet tilbuddet fra Egis klima, leder af World Boxing Organization (WBO) fjervægt (126 lbs.) mester Vasyl “Hi-Tech” Lomachenko (4-1, 2 KOS), for en Super Fight.

 

Rigondeaux er den regerende World Boxing Association (WBA) Super, WBO og Ringen bladets super bantamvægt mester.

 

Cubansk-native Rigondeaux, som nu bor i Miami, og ukrainsk-fødte Lomachenko er begge to-time olympiske guld medaljevindere.

 

“'Rigo’ vil kæmpe Lomachenko på et opsamlingsvægte af 124 pounds, der skulle være noget problem for Lomachenko fordi han vejede 125 pounds for en af ​​hans professionelle kampe, Hyde sagde. “'Rigo’ er en lille 122-punds, der kunne gøre 118 uden meget besvær, men han ville give væk størrelse og vægt fordele til ansigt Lomachenko.

“Vi vil insistere på en rehydrering klausul 135 pund for fight night. Hvis Klimas accepterer at dette, derefter, vi har en kamp. Lomachenko er en mesterlig fighter som 'Rigo’ og dette match- op vil være en klassisk. Vi har et par to-time olympiske guld medaljetagere og nuværende verdensmestre går på det. Jeg tror 'Rigo’ er den mere glubsk af de to kæmpere, og jeg tror fuldt og fast 'Rigo’ vil dominere Lomachenko. Klima, du ved hvad du skal gøre for at gøre kampen, bare tage telefonen og ringe til mig. 'Rigo’ er klar!”

L-R) – Hassan N'Dam & Gary Hyde

 

CORK, Irland (Juni 10, 2015) – Gary Hyde, leder af International Boxing Federation (IBF) Do Not. 1-rangeret, obligatorisk mellemvægt contender Hassan N'Dam (31-1, 18 KOS), har gjort indsigelse mod to tjenestemænd navngivne at arbejde i juni 20th IBF verden mellemvægt titel kamp mellem N'Dam og David Lemieux (33-2, 31 KOS) på den berømte Bell Centre i Montreal, Canada.

 

Cameroun-native N'Dam, fremmes af kong Sports, is a former World Boxing Organization (WBO) 160-pound division world champion. The IBF No. 4-rangeret Lemieux er født og bor i Montreal, Quebec.

 

“Juni 2ND,” Hyde forklarede, “Jeg lærte hvem embedsmændene var forJuni 20th kæmpe på Bell Centre. Jeg kontaktede IBF og indsigelse mod to tjenestemænd, der er fra Montreal, Quebec, samme by Lemieux er fra. Dommer Marlon Wright har referee fem af Lemieux’ kampe og dommeren pågældende, Benoit Roussel, har arbejdet ikke mindre end 12 af Lemieux’ slagsmål.

 

“Jeg protesterede også til Quebec Kommissionen om udnævnelsen af ​​de to canadiske embedsmænd. Udvælgelsen af ​​to embedsmænd fra samme by som en af ​​de krigere i en international VM kamp indikerer en mangelfuld og uretfærdig procedure og underminerer udseende retfærdighed og upartiskhed. I min erfaring i VM anfald embedsmænd skal altid være neutral.

 

“We are hopeful that the Quebec Boxing Commission will replace both Canadian officials with a pair of neutral officials, så vi udelukkende kan koncentrere sig om jobbet ved hånden, at slå Lemieux.

Boxing’s most avoided world champion Guillermo Rigondeaux heading to UK next month To publically confront Scott Quigg

Efterlad en kommentar
CORK, Irland (April 12, 2015) – Unified super bantamweight world champion Regning “The Jackal” Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 KOS), arguably the most avoided reigning world title holder in modern boxing history, will travel to London next month in order to publicly confront his mandatory challenger, Scott QUIGG (30-0-2, 22 KOS), the World Boxing Association (WBA) “regelmæssig” 122-pund division titlist.

 

A month ago in an unusual move, Rigondeaux’ Direktør Gary Hyde formally petitioned the WBA to enforce a mandatory title fight between his WBA Super champion and Quigg. Hyde is awaiting the WBA’s decision. Rigondeaux is also the World Boxing Organization (WBO) og Ringen bladets super bantamvægt mester.

 

A reigning world champion hasn’t been avoided by other world champions and top contenders like Rigondeux has for the past two years since, måske, junior mellemvægt Sergio Martinez, or possibly all the way back to middleweight Mike McCallum.

 

The top three super bantamweights in the world outside of Rigondeaux – International Boxing Federation (IBF) og World Boxing Council (WBC) champions, Carl Frampton og Leo Santa Cruz, henholdsvis, plus Quigg – have avoided the Cuban great like the plaque. Once Santa Cruz’ promoter at the time, Oscar de la Hoya, announced that a Rigondeaux-Santa Cruz had to happen, Santa Cruz’ powerful adviser, Al HAYMON, exercised a contract option and bought him out to avoid a fight with ‘Rigo.’ Frampton’s promoter, Barry McGuigan, has proclaimed his fighter, not Rigondeaux, som nr. 1 super featherweight in the world. McGuigan, selv, is interested in Frampton fighting Quigg in a U.K. showdown, rather than a world mega-fight for three of the four major sanctioning world titles. As the “regelmæssig” WBA champion, Quigg is Rigondeaux’ obligatoriske udfordrer, endnu, he apparently wants no part of the two-time Olympic gold medalist because his promoter, Barry Hearn, not only hasn’t pushed the issue, he’s in negotiations with McGuigan for Frampton to fight Quigg.

 

Former world super bantamweight champions Nonito Doniare, after he lost a unification fight to Rigondeaux two years ago, og Abner Mares chose to move up one division to fight as featherweights. And now Donaire reports that his manager was contacted by a Quigg representative to discuss a Donaire-Quigg fight in England.

 

Another two-time Olympic gold medalist, WBO 126-pound champion Vasyl Lomachenko, continually insists that “Linje” has to move up in weight for a fight to happen despite him having no problems making 126.

 

“QUIGG, Santa Cruz and Frampton have showed no desire to challenge Rigondeaux,” Hyde sagde. “These three fighters are trying to fool the public into believing that fight No. 1 guy in the world is not important. While they are lining their pockets with ridiculous amounts of cash for fighting below par opponents, Rigondeaux is forced to wait around until some Asian opponent steps up. This is a sport in which we are accustomed to seeing the best fighting the best but, in the super bantamweight division, it’s the best versus the rest.

 

“Rigondeaux will travel to Manchester to fight Quigg, Belfast to fight Frampton, or Las Vegas to fight Santa Cruz. None of these so-called world champions, selv, will consider fighting the acknowledged world super bantamweight champion. They’re all much more content to hold onto their belts than beating The Man in their weight class.”

 

Næste måned, Hyde reports, Rigondeaux will travel to the United Kingdom in a bold attempt to embarrass Quigg into fighting him. “I don’t like traveling overseas unless I have a fight lined up,” Rigondeaux explained, “but I will travel to England in May to publicly call out Scott Quigg. If he turns down the chance to fight our WBA mandatory, he will be remembered for that instead of being known as a great fighter. While I’m in the UK, I will also go to Belfast to checkout Carl Frampton to ask if he wants to prove himself against the best in his division.”

 

Understanding that the top super bantamweight action is currently in Europe, noting a record purse ($2.2 million USD) offered for a Frampton vs. Quigg fight, Rigondeaux is considering a major change in the not too distant future, moving his base from Miami to the UK, if that’s what it takes for him to get in on the action.

 

Hyde also manages former WBO middleweight champion and current International Boxing Federation (IBF) Do Not. 1 obligatoriske udfordrer Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam (31-1, 18 KOS), former WBA Interim cruiserweight champion Yuri “El Toro” Kalenga (21-2, 14 KOS) and Georgian super lightweight Levan “Ulven” Ghvamichava (14-1-1, 11 KOS) , as well as top prospects such as Cuban super bantamweight Mark Skov (2-0, 2 KOS), Irish heavyweight Med Sheehan and Bulgarian light heavyweight Blagoy Naydenov.

Direktør Gary Hyde andragender WBA at håndhæve obligatoriske titel kamp mellem Rigondeaux og Quigg

CORK, Irland (Marts 12, 2015) – International boksning Manager Gary Hyde, præsident for Nowhere2Hyde Management, har formelt indgivet et andragende World Boxing Association (WBA) at håndhæve en obligatorisk titel kamp mellem Hyde s fighter, WBA Super & World Boxing Organization (WBO) super bantamvægt mester Regning “The Jackal” Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 KOS), og WBA “regelmæssig” 122-pund division titlist Scott QUIGG (30-0-2, 22 KOS).

 

Herunder finde en kopi af Hyde brev til WBA:

 

 

Dear Chairman Mendoza:

 

Jeg skriver som leder af Guillermo Rigondeaux, Unified WBA / WBO Champion.

 

I write to request enforcement of the mandatory. Uniquely in the Super Bantamweight Division Guillermo Rigondeaux is the “Unified Champion” og Scott Quigg er “Regelmæssig Champion.”

Clearly as the Regular Champion Quigg is the highest ranked contender in the division. While he was injured he is now back in training and there is no reason why Mr. Rigondeaux ikke kan eller ikke bør opfylde sine obligatoriske forpligtelser over for hr. QUIGG.

 

We are aware that there are some discussions about a bout between Quigg and Frampton. Men, vi har været i kontakt med IBF, og de ikke vil sanktionere forening kamp med andre end det højeste niveau mester, som i dette tilfælde er Guillermo Rigondeaux.

 

Vi respektfuldt foreslå, at det er bedst at behandle den obligatoriske spørgsmål nu og anmode om, at Quigg og Guillermo rettes til at indlede forhandlinger.

 

Ærbødigst,

 

Gary Hyde
