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

PARIS, Frankrike (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) eliminering kampen. 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.”

Ranked No. 11 av WBC, samt Nei. 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 siste kamp (Sju. 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 ganger, i Paris. Tidligere i karrieren, 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.”

Guillermo Rigondeaux’ manager accepts offer From Vasyl Lomachenko’s manager

CORK, Irland (Juli 13, 2015) – Irishman Gary Hyde, leder av enhetlig super bantamvekt (122 lbs.) verdensmester Regning “The Jackal” Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 KOs), har akseptert i prinsippet tilbudet fra Egis klima, leder i World Boxing Organization (WBO) fjærvekt (126 lbs.) mester Vasyl “Hi-Tech” Lomachenko (4-1, 2 KOs), for en Super Fight.

 

Rigondeaux er regjerende World Boxing Association (WBA) Super, WBO og The Ring magasinets super bantamvekt mester.

 

Cuban-innfødte Rigondeaux, som nå bor i Miami, og ukrainsk-fødte Lomachenko er begge to OL-gullvinnere.

 

“'Rigo’ vil kjempe Lomachenko på en catchweight av 124 pounds, som bør være noe problem for Lomachenko fordi han veide 125 pounds for en av hans profesjonelle kamper, Hyde sa. “'Rigo’ er en liten 122-punds som kunne gjøre 118 uten mye bråk, men han ville gi bort størrelse og vekt fordeler til ansikt Lomachenko.

“Vi vil insistere på en rehydrering paragrafen 135 pounds for fight night. Hvis Klimas samtykker til dette, deretter, vi har en kamp. Lomachenko er en mesterlig fighter som 'Rigo’ og denne kampen- opp vil være en klassiker. Vi har et par av to OL-vinnere og aktuelle verdensmestere kommer på det. Jeg tror 'Rigo’ er mer glupsk av de to jagerfly, og jeg mener bestemt 'Rigo’ vil dominere Lomachenko. Klima, du vet hva du må gjøre for å gjøre kampen, bare plukke opp telefonen og ringe meg. 'Rigo’ er klar!”

Team N’Dam objects to officials named for IBF middleweight world title fight in Montreal: N'Dam vs. Lemieux, Juni 20 i Montreal

PRESSEMELDING
For umiddelbar utløsning

L-R) – Hassan N'Dam & Gary Hyde

 

CORK, Irland (Juni 10, 2015) – Gary Hyde, leder av International Boxing Federation (IBF) Do Not. 1-rangert, obligatorisk mellomvekt konkurrent Hassan N'Dam (31-1, 18 KOs), har protestert mot to tjenestemenn som heter å jobbe juni 20th IBF verden mellomvekt tittelen kampen mellom N'Dam og David Lemieux (33-2, 31 KOs) på den berømte Bell Centre i Montreal, Canada.

 

Kamerun-innfødte N'Dam, fremmet av kong Sports, is a former World Boxing Organization (WBO) 160-pound division world champion. The IBF No. 4-rangeres Lemieux er født og bor i Montreal, Quebec.

 

“Juni 2nd,” Hyde forklart, “Jeg lærte som tjenestemennene var forJuni 20th kjempe ved Bell Centre. Jeg kontaktet IBF og protestert mot to tjenestemenn som er fra Montreal, Quebec, samme by Lemieux er fra. Dommer Marlon Wright har dømt fem av Lemieux’ kamper og dommeren i spørsmålet, Benoit Roussel, har arbeidet ikke mindre enn 12 av Lemieux’ kamper.

 

“Jeg har også protestert mot Quebec Kommisjonen om oppnevnelsen av de to canadiske tjenestemenn. Valg av to tjenestemenn fra samme by som en av slåsskjempene i et internasjonalt VM bout indikerer en feilaktig og urettferdig prosedyre og undergraver utseendet på rettferdighet og upartiskhet. I min erfaring i VM bouts tjenestemenn må alltid være nøytral.

 

We are hopeful that the Quebec Boxing Commission will replace both Canadian officials with a pair of neutral officials, slik at vi kan konsentrere oss utelukkende på jobben, å slå Lemieux.

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

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) “regulær” 122-pund divisjon titlist.

 

A month ago in an unusual move, Rigondeaux’ sjef 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 The Ring magasinets super bantamvekt 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, kanskje, junior mellomvekt Sergio Martinez, or possibly all the way back to middleweight Mike McCallum.

 

The top three super bantamweights in the world outside of RigondeauxInternational Boxing Federation (IBF) og World Boxing Council (WBC) mestere, Carl Frampton og Leo Santa Cruz, henholdsvis, plus Quigghave avoided the Cuban great like the plaque. Once Santa Cruzpromoter 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, as the No. 1 super featherweight in the world. McGuigan, skjønt, 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 “regulær” WBA champion, Quigg is Rigondeaux’ obligatorisk utfordreren, ennå, 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 Lomatsjenko, 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 sa. “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, skjønt, 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.

 

Next month, 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 obligatorisk kandidat 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 “The Wolf” Ghvamichava (14-1-1, 11 KOs) , as well as top prospects such as Cuban super bantamweight Mark Forest (2-0, 2 KOs), Irish heavyweight Med Sheehan and Bulgarian light heavyweight Blagoy Naydenov.

Manager Gary Hyde begjærer WBA å håndheve obligatorisk tittelen kampen mellom Rigondeaux og Quigg

 

CORK, Irland (Mars 12, 2015) – Internasjonal boksing sjef Gary Hyde, president i Nowhere2Hyde Ledelse, har formelt begjært World Boxing Association (WBA) å håndheve en obligatorisk tittelen kampen mellom Hyde fighter, WBA Super & World Boxing Organization (WBO) super bantamvekt mester Regning “The Jackal” Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 KOs), og WBA “regulær” 122-pund divisjon titlist Scott Quigg (30-0-2, 22 KOs).

 

Under finner en kopi av Hyde brev til WBA:

 

 

Dear Chairman Mendoza:

 

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

 

I write to request enforcement of the mandatory. Uniquely in the Super Bantamweight Division Guillermo Rigondeaux is the “Enhetlig Champion” og Scott Quigg er “Regelmessig 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 bør ikke oppfylle sine obligatoriske forpliktelser mot Mr. Quigg.

 

We are aware that there are some discussions about a bout between Quigg and Frampton. Men, vi har vært i kontakt med IBF, og de vil ikke sanksjonere foreningen kampen med noen andre enn det høyeste nivået mester som i dette tilfellet er Guillermo Rigondeaux.

 

Vi respekt tyder på at det er best å forholde seg til den obligatoriske spørsmålet nå og be om at Quigg og Guillermo rettes å begynne forhandlinger.

 

Ærbødigst,

 

Gary Hyde
