Februarie. 18 in Casablanca, Maroc
CASABLANCA, Maroc (Februarie 2, 2017) – Former Interim cruiserweight world champion Yuri “El Toro” Kalenga will provide chief support Februarie 18 for pro-debuting Moroccan amateur boxing sensation Mohammad Rabii pe “Battle of Casablanca” card, presented by Nowhere2Hyde, at Complexe de Sportif Mohammed V Arena in Casablanca, Maroc.
Kalenga (22-3, 15 KO), fighting out of France by way of The Congo, is currently rated No. 12 de Asociația Mondială de box (WBA) și nr. 16 de Consiliul Mondial de box (WBC). The knockout artist takes on Garrett “Ultimate Warrior” Wilson (17-11-1, 9 KO), de Philadelphia, who is a former United States Boxing Association (USBA) and North American Boxing Federation (NABF) campion.
În 2014, Kalenga captured the WBA Interim title with a 12-round split decision over 32-1 Mateusz Masternak in Monaco, followed with a successful title defense in Canada against 12-0 Denton Daley by way of a 12lea round technical knockout.
Kalenga has never been in a dull fight. Two of his three career losses have been to current WBA Super cruiserweight champion Denis Lebedev (26-2), who Kalenga dropped in the fourth round, by way of a 12-round unanimous decision in Russia, and last June he was stopped for the first time in his seven-year pro career by 20-0 yunier Dorticos in Paris for the Interim WBA strap.
The 23-year-old Rabii defeated 2016 Medaliat cu aur olimpic Daniyar Yeleussinov in the welterweight division championship finale of the 2015 AIBA World Amateur Championships to capture a gold for his native Morocco. Rabii won a bronze medal at the 2016 Jocurile Olimpice din Brazilia, dropping a highly-disputed decision (0-3) in the semifinals to Uzebek boxer Shakhram Giyasov, the eventual silver medalist.
The ultra-charismatic Rabii has reached “rock star” status in Morocco, testament by an average of 6-million Moroccans viewing each of Rabbi’s Olympic matches on Arryadia Television. “We are very excited to work with our television partners, Arryadia, on our February 18lea show as the first of five shows in 2017 featuring Mohammed Rabii,” promotor Gary Hyde a spus. “Rabii has the entire nation of Morocco behind him and he will be challenging for top welterweight honors in no time at all.”
Rabii will take on veteran Hungarian boxer Adam “Baiat rau” Mate (24-10, 17 KO) in the six-round main event.
Also in action on “Battle of Casablanca” will be former World Boxing Association (WBA) și Organizația Internațională de box (IBO) world featherweight champion, Simpiwe Vetyeka (29-3, 17 KO), who is world ranked No. 4 de WBA, Nu Face. 6 de Inelul magazine, și nr. 7 de WBC. The gifted South African faces undefeated Hungarian prospect David Nerna (8-0, 8 KO) într-un meci de 10-a rundă.
Netherlands light middleweight Gevorg Khatchikian (24-2, 12 KO) will also be in action against Ugandan Med “Kabona” Sebyala (16-8-1. 13 KO) in another 10-rounder. Khatchikian, who will be fighting as a 154-pounder for the first time as a professional, has only lost twice as a pro, both to present super middleweight world champions, James Degale (IBF) și Gilberto Ramirez (WBO).
Hyde manages Rabii, Kalanga and Vetyeka.
Tickets are now on sale for the Februarie. 18 show in Casablanca.

LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA (Iulie 7, 2016) – Just two days after dominating previously undefeated francy Ntetu (16-1, 3 KO) on Premier Boxing Champions’ Iunie 25lea CBS card at New York’s Barclay’s Center, “Red Flag,” David Benavidez, was back at his home gym in Long Beach, preparing for his next bout. The rising star had no intention of taking time off, and jumped right into an intense training regimen that included sparring with Gilberto “Stangaci” Ramirez (34-0, 24KO), who was set to make his pay-per-view debut later in the month, but was sidelined this week with an injury.
“My last fight was hard, but I learned a lot,” stated Benavidez regarding his bout with previously unbeaten Canadian Ntetu. “It was great experience, getting rounds in.”
With only one exception, a six round fight that went the distance in 2014, Benavidez hadn’t fought beyond the second round, knocking out opponent after opponent.
“I feel better and more experienced,” Benavidez continued. “I have confidence knowing I can go into deep waters and finish a fight if I have to. I’m learning how to pace myself when I need to during a round, and I know that those later rounds made me a better fighter.”
As Benavidez prepares for his next fight, he’s focused completely on improving himself.
“I didn’t mind getting right back to the gym,” said Benavidez. “This is my lifestyle now. I just want to train. I want to look at what I did wrong in my last fight and fix it. I don’t want to get rusty in between fights. When I’m not physically training, I’m thinking about mistakes I made in fights, techniques that can be improved. I want to get better each fight, and I’m consumed by that.”
“It’s this commitment to success and improvement that sets David apart from other young men his age, and other fighters,” a spus Jose Benavidez, Sr., David’s father and head trainer. “This is what makes him different, and this is why he’s going to be the best.”
