QUINCY, Маса. (Ліпеня 12, 2023) – Undefeated super middleweight prospect Steve “The Savage” Sumpter (8-0, 7 КО) has never turned down a fight. Neither has his next opponent, James “Pitbull” Perkins (12-0-1, 9 КО), and that’s why the two undefeated fighters will throw-down August 19й.

Sumpter vs. Perkins headlines “Pandemonium at The Palladium”, прадстаўлена Granite Chin Promotions (GCP), in an eight-round showdown for the vacant International Boxing Association IBA) Americas Super Middleweight Championship..

“Pandemonium at The Palladium” will be streamed live onwww.bxngtv.com from the famed Palladium in Worcester, Масачусэтс.

“This fight is one of the best main events Massachusetts has seen this year,” GCP president Chris Traietti commented. “What more can you ask for? Two undefeated guys with knockout power going for it all for a chance to elevate their careers to the next level. The spectators better take their bathroom and concession breaks before this one starts. It could end at any moment!"

More than a belt is at stake, more like Bay State (Масачусэтс) bragging rights for the winner of this potentially “lights-out” fight between these Western (Sumpter, Pittsfield) and Eastern (Perkins, Лін) Маса. rival fighters.

Sumpter, 29, leaped at the opportunity to fight another undefeated fighter because of the upside for his career that an impressive victory will make within New England boxing circles.

“’ll be better known after this fight,” Sumpter said. “I don’t care about my opponent’s record or anything else. This is the type of fight that will establish me as one of the better boxers around. This fight will open up a lot of doors for me, when I come out on top. More people will start taking notice of me and I’ll be getting calls for bigger fights.

“We are both explosive fighters. I don’t think he’s going the full distance. It’ll come down to skills. I’ve seen some things from him I’ll exploit. Nobody studies me better than me. I’m sure he has watched me, too.”

Pittsfield is 100 miles to the west of Worcester, but Sumpter, who is the reigning Massachusetts Light Heavyweight Champion, is confident his fans will travel in force.

“I’ll feel good traveling,” Sumpter added. “This will be the second card I’ve headlined. I have a solid fan-base and it’s growing with each win. І, like I said, he’s not going the distance.”

У са-прыкметах падзеі, undefeated Massachusetts Welterweight Champion Denzel “Double Impact” Whitley (11-0, 6 КО) takes Hector “El Gatito” Ednar Bobadilla (9-14-1, 4 КО) in an eight-round bout for the vacant United States Boxing Federation (USBF) Atlantic welterweight title.

Other fighters expected to be in action on the “Pandemonium at The Palladium” undercard include another Holyoke boxer, super welterweight Carlos Castillo (7-0, 4 КО), unbeaten Springfield super featherweight Isaiah “Baby Warrior” Cruz (6-0, 4 КО), and New Haven (Канэктыкут) featherweight Felix Parrilla (7-0, 6 КО).

QUINCY, Маса. (Ліпеня 10, 2023) – Like some of his fellow countrymen in the past, undefeated Irish light heavyweight prospects Tommy Hyde (5-0, 3 КО) and Thomas “The Kid” O’Toole (7-0, 5 КО) have traveled across “the pond” from their native Ireland to Boston in order to enhance their professional boxing careers.

They will both be fighting on the August 11й (Жнівень. 12й rain date) on the “Veterans Stadium Showcase” Pro-Am card, прадстаўлена Granite Chin Promotions (GCP), at Veterans Memorial Stadium on Quincy (Масачусэтс), a suburb of Boston only 10 miles to the south of the Massachusetts capital.  

“This card wouldn’t be complete without some Irish flair to it,” GCP president Chris Traietti said. "З тым, што, I didn’t want just any Irish fighters on the show. I wanted two of the hottest prospects. Working with both guys has been a pleasure. Their teams have been great. Their fan-bases are in for a treat come August 11й."

They’ve built solid fanbases of Irish natives who now live in the United States, as well as Irish American boxing fans, just like their predecessors from the Emerald Isle, world champion Steve Collins and Mike Tyson-conqueror Kevin McBride.

Although Hyde and O’Toole will be fighting in separate six-round bouts this could be a prelude to a showdown between the Irish light heavyweights. They fought twice as amateurs with each winning one and in the future, they could be matched against each other once again, only this time as professionals.

The 24-year-old Hyde is a three-time Irish National Champion who had an 80-26 аматарскія запісы. Яго бацька, Гэры Хайд, is an international matchmaker who has represented numerous world champions.

“I am delighted to be fighting in Boston again,” Hyde said. “It’s like a second home now. I have a lot of family and friends living there and they all show me great support when I’m fighting there. It’s a big boxing city and it’s great to be following in the footsteps of Steve Collins and Kevin McBride who I really admire.

“I fought all over the world as an amateur in 2019. I fought outdoors in a multi-national tournament in Odessa, Украіна. It was a really good experience, so I’m really looking forward to fighting outdoors in a Boston stadium.

“This will be the second show we shared since we’ve been pros and it probably won’t be the last. A fight between us could be big down the line in Boston or Ireland. He’s an Irishman like me, so I’ll be supporting him until we fight just like any other Irish boxer.”

Hyde faces an opponent to be determined.

O’Toole, 25, is another celebrated Irish amateur boxer who captured top honors in the Haringey Box Cup and Irish Elevate final, in which he decisioned Hyde. “The Kid” won 51 з 60 аматарскія матчы. Ten Years ago, O’Toole fought outdoors for the first and only time in an amateur show at Boston City Hall, arranged by then- Boston Mayor Marty Walsh.

A southpaw, O’Toole lives in nearby Braintree (Масачусэтс). Six of his seven pro matches have been held in Greater Boston, the lone exception in Manchester, Нью-Гэмпшыр. “The Kid” is moving up one division to fight Massachusetts cruiserweight champion Scott “Scottie Bombs” Lampert (5-8, 4 КО) for the vacant United States Boxing Federation (USBF) cruiserweight crown.

“Fighting outdoors does make a difference,” O’Toole commented, “especially if it’s hot and humid. I couldn’t prepare for fighting outdoors here in the summer if I was training in Ireland. We don’t have hot and humid weather there. I’ve been training here in this weather. It’s amazing how the weather can zap your strength. It did have an effect on me when I fought in Boston outdoors as an amateur.

“Tommy and I have gone our separate ways as pros, but our paths may grow down the line. We haven’t seen much of each other when we fought on the same card here. He is coming on very well in the pro ranks. He has a good man behind him in his father, Гэры, and I think Tommy can go far. He’s said that a fight between us can easily be made if it makes sense. Згодны. We both have big fan bases. This is going to be an amazing, fun night.”

Irish eyes will certainly be smilin’ Aug. 11й in Quincy.

United States Boxing Federation (USBF) Champion Julien “Black Dragon” Baptiste (5-3, 2 КО), з Woburn, and Massachusetts titleholder Jamer Jones (3-1, 3 КО), of Pittsfield, are in a middleweight unification bout for their titles in the eight-round co-featured event.

Undefeated light heavyweight New Bedford Edet Mkapanam battling back from surgeries Granite Chin’s “Hometown Royalty” this Saturday in Bridgewater, Масачусэтс (see attached with pictures)

QUINCY, Маса. (Мая 3, 2022) – Undefeated New Bedford (Масачусэтс) light heavyweight prospect Edet Mkapanam (6-0, 5 КО) is battling back from retina and shoulder surgeries that sidelined him 16 months before his successful ring return this past March.


The 27-year-old Mkapanam faces Scott “Bombz” Scott on the May 7й Hometown Royalty” card, presented by Granite Chin Promotions in association with Cappiello Boxing Promotions and Shearns Boxing Promotions, at Bridgewater Veterans Club in Bridgewater, Масачусэтс (85 Cottage St.), marking the first professional boxing event ever held in that town.


Raised in Brockton, known as the “City of Champions, Mkapanam had an abbreviated amateur career (8-3), although he was a heavyweight winner in the 2017 Турнір Рокі Марчана, as well as runner-up a year later in the prestigious New England Golden Gloves Championships.


Mkapanam had back-to-back surgeries, starting with a torn ligament in his shoulder, followed by surgery to repair his retina in the right eye.


“I didn’t have much of an amateur career and I’ve been learning on the job (а пра),” Mkapanam explained. “I learned in the gym sparring with some of the top fighters in New England like Peter Manfredo, Малодшы. and Mark Deluca. У маёй галаве, I wanted to continue fighting and I kept working hard in the gym while recovering. Some doctors said I shouldn’t fight again, so I upped my intensity in the gym, and when I was examined again the doctors said my eye was a lot better and I was cleared to fight. I had a tough training camp before my last fight, the first after my surgeries, and I wasn’t even thinking about my eye during that fight.”


Mkapanam looked relatively sharp in his March 19й comeback fight, stopping pro debut fighter Igor Pessoa in the third round of their fight in Derry, Нью-Гэмпшыр.
Зараз, Edet is on a mission to make up for lost time.


“I’ve been working on my jab and some other things,"Ён сказаў. “My goal is to fight on bigger stages, which is one of the reasons I signed with (Granite Chin promoter) Chris Traietti. I respect Scott Lampert, but I’m on a whole different level in New England boxing, and I’m going to prove it this fight. I know Chris is going to get me opportunities to fight on bigger stages.”


“Edet was somebody I was interested in working with in the past, but then his injuries happened before we could formally get a deal together,” Granite Chin president Chris Traietti explained. “Once he reached out and told me he was cleared to fight again, I wasted no time making him an offer to sigh with Granite Chin. Edet is a great guy who works hard and wants to fight. We talked about a game plan for his career. We are both on the same page and you will be seeing him on a big stage in the very near future.”

Former New England Welterweight Champion Mike “Bad Man Ohan, Малодшы. (14-1, 8 КО), of Holbrook, Масачусэтс, headlines “Hometown Royalty” in the 8-round main event against Argentinian opponent Jose “El Chino” Aubel (8-9, 7 КО).


Кўінсі (Масачусэтс) lightweight Ryan “The Polish Prince” Kielczweski (30-6, 11 КО), a 2008 National Golden Gloves silver medalist and 2-time New England Golden Gloves Champion, faces another Argentinian, Mario Lozano (18-5-1, 9 КО), in the 8-round co-featured event.


Brockton welterweight prospect David Ribeiro makes his pro debut in a 4-round bout versus Joshua Zimmerman (0-8). Ribeiro was a celebrated amateur having won gold medals at the 2020 Залатыя пальчаткі Новай Англіі, 2019 Кароль рынга, and the regional Mike Tyson Tournament.

ANTONIO TODD PHOTO 2.jpg
QUINCY, Маса. (Студзеня 26, 2022) – Last Saturday night in Detroit, Atlanta middleweight Antonio Todd, Малодшы. registered his career-defining victory, upsetting World Boxing Council (WBC) Ня. 10-rated Hugo “The Boss” Centeno, Малодшы. by way of a 10-round majority decision in the main event.

The 27-year-old Todd, fighting out of Atlanta, won on two of the three judges’ scorecards, 97-93 і 96-94, as the other had it a 95-95 прыцягнуць. More impressive was Todd defeating a fighter who is under contract to the event promoter, Dmitriy Salita.

“It was the biggest win of my career, да гэтага часу,” Todd said. “It means a lot for my career in terms of taking me to the next level. I feel that I won the fight by unanimous decision and, if he hadn’t started moving around, I could have stopped him. But this is boxing, you need to take chances to be great.

“I want to fight anybody, anybody in the 160-pound division, fighting bigger names on television. I’m ready now! I think real fighters or those confident in their skills will be the guys who step up. We do have a couple names in mind.”

Todd is promoted by rising New England-based Granite Chin Promotions, owned, and operated by Chris Traietti.

“The way Antonio handled himself throughout the whole process leading up to the Centano fight is a testament to his character and drive,” Traietti commented. “At first, the fight was on, then off, then back on again. Затым, Centeno was over the weight limit. Despite all of this, Antonio and his trainer, Lionel Harris, just stayed focused on the fighting part of all this, leaving the behind-the-scenes stuff to me, and he delivered a career-defining performance. Для 10 rounds he brought pressure, used his world-class jab, and pulled off a beautiful complete win.”
Todd concluded, “I love being promoted by Chris. It’s great being part of his Granite Chin team and him being part of my team.”

“I am excited to be coming back to Massachusetts,” Granite Chin president Chris Traietti said. “Between changes occurring with the commission, then COVID, I just felt like it was a good time to step away for a bit, head up to New Hampshire and let things sort of settle in Massachusetts. Now that things are sort of back to normal, I feel like the time is right to bring our great club-show boxing back to Massachusetts. This card is going to be highly competitive from top to bottom. I have the roster now where I can both develop fighters and put on high quality local shows. 2020 was about making good relationships with other promoters and matchmakers; 2021 about developing a quality roster and keeping guys busy during a pandemic. 2022 is going to be geared towards becoming the face of quality local boxing shows and getting Granite Chin fighters on high-level, world-class cards all across the country.”

The 8-round main event will pit local favorite Nelson “Chino” Perez (5-0, 2 КО) against New Jersey veteran super lightweight Tyrone “Hands of Stone” Luckey (15-16-4, 11 КО).

Perez will be fighting in his first scheduled 8-round bout.

Luckey, fighting out of Manahawkin, Нью-Джэрсі, is the reigning ABF USA Mid-American Super Lightweight Champion. The dangerous Luckey has been a gatekeeper of lightweight up to welterweight divisions having fought top prospects such as Mike Ohan, Малодшы. Jamaine Ortiz, Tyler Tomlin, and Frank Martin. Luckey has recent back-to-back victories against previously unbeaten Eduardo Aquilar.

Hot welterweight prospect Denzel “Double Impact” Whitley (7-0, 5 КО), of Holyoke (Масачусэтс), faces Alfred “Keenan” Raymond (1-0) in the 6-round co-featured event.

Galloway’s Tyrone Luckey is a throwback fighter, boxing career resurrected

Пакінуць каментар
Tyrone Luckey.jpg
QUINCY, Маса. (Кастрычнік 27, 2022) – In short two years, after signing a contract with Granite Chin Promotions, veteran New Jersey boxer Tyrone “Hands of Stone” Luckey has gone from journeyman to legitimate opponent with a promising upside.

“Guys like Tyrone have a special spot for me,” Granite Chin Promotions president Chris Traietti commented. “I’ve helped to build up his record, developed trust between us, and we’ll see where we go from here. He’s a big Dallas Cowboy fan and he really wanted to fight in AT & T Arena. He dreamed of fighting there and I got him on the Spence-Garcia card, and he got the biggest purse of his life.”

“He is a fighter’s fighter. Any promoter would be very happy to have 25 like him in their stable. His goal now is to make as much as he can over the next few years and get out with his health. He continues to trust me. He wants to be part of the team and I just signed him to a new 3-year deal. Tyrone has had a bit of a rebirth in his career.”

The former New Jersey Golden Gloves Champion had a 9-12-4 запіс, when he joined the Granite Chin stable, and since then Luckey has won six of nine fights, capturing the ABF USA Mid-American super lightweight title along the way.

“I had no choice but to get better,” Lucky spoke about his resurgence the past two years. “It first changed when I started going to Gladiator’s Gym for help with trainer Shawn Darling. My career in boxing changed since the pandemic started.

The 36-year-old Luckey (15-15-4, 11 КО), fighting out of Galloway (Нью-Джэрсі), is a throwback fighter back to the days boxers only asked when and where they were fighting, no pickin’ and choosin’ soft touches. Evidence of his admirable attitude is the fact he’s fought in six different weight classes, from super featherweight to super welterweight, during his 11-year-pro career.

“I’m not afraid of anyone,” Luckey said. “I fight guys others avoid, even some that world champions wouldn’t fight. I’m able to fight in different weight classes because I know my body and how to properly get done in weight. Зараз, I feel comfortable at 140 фунты, and I feel like I have a ton of power at 130 або 135 фунты. I’m naturally small, but psychologically, I’m always the bigger fighter no matter what position I find myself in.”

Luckey’s stock jumped in his last two fights, both against previously unbeaten Eduardo Aguilar, who was knocked out, адпаведна, in the first round and he couldn’t continue past the sixth round in their most recent fight, in which Luckey dropped Aguilar seven times.

A married man who is an endoscopy technician, Luckey has been saving his boxing purses to eventually buy a house.

“I plan to box until I’m 39, maximum of 40,” Luckey remarked. “I’ll call it quits and maybe become a trainer or pro bowler. I’m trying to get into a sanctioned league (he averages 215 and rolled a perfect 300 game in 2017)."

Luckey and Traietti, also a pro boxer, have a mutually beneficial relationship today. “Our relationship has always been great,” Tyrone confirmed. “I had a fight fallout and the matchmaker set me up with Chris, who was working a fight in Minnesota. He said that after the fight we could talk. He’s a good dude, great promoter. I’m glad our paths crossed because he’s put me in a new situation. I put my faith in him. It’s always love when we talk.”

“We hit it off right away,” Traietti concluded. “He’s easy to work with and will fight anybody. Да яго гонару, he signed with me when it wasn’t really popular, not until 8 для 10 months later. Granite Chin has blown up and my some of my fighters have been performing on some of the biggest cards in boxing.”

Do you feel lucky? Tyrone Luckey certainly does and he’s finally cashing in on all his hard work and perseverance, fighting under the Granite Chin banner.

"Я быў вельмі рады быць на Fury-Wilder III, каб я мог паказаць усім, на што я здольны,- успомніў Маршал.

Я вельмі шчаслівы, Крыс (Прамоўтэр Traietti) атрымаў мяне на карту ў першую чаргу.

"Гэта шкодны бізнэс, і я не з тых хлопцаў, якія баяцца выкліку. Я баец. Для гэтага бою з'явілася магчымасць, і я скарыстаўся. Я не з тых, хто сядзіць дома ў чаканні званка. За гэта мне плацяць грошы. Я засяроджаны на сваёй працы і не турбуюся аб некантралюемай ".

Маршал выйграў тры баі запар, усё на тым жа месцы, што і яго жнівень 28й барацьба, у тым ліку ягоны тытулаваны выступ у Новай Англіі ў лістападзе мінулага года, калі ён прыняў аднагалоснае рашэнне ў 8 раўндаў ад абароны N.E. чэмпіён у цяжкай вазе Джасцін Ролф.

«Выйграць тытул Новай Англіі шмат значыла, таму што гэта мой першы прафесіянал,», - дадаў Маршал. «Многія людзі думалі, што ён пераможа, і ён быў чэмпіёнам абароны. Я зайшоў туды і зрабіў тое, што павінен быў, і забраў рэмень дадому.

«Я даказаў, што магу пайсці 10 цяжкія раунды з такім ветэранам, як Стыў. Многія хлопцы на тэлебачанні не могуць гэтага зрабіць. Я думаў, што я выйграў, але ён ветэран, якога там добра ведаюць. Я займаўся бізнесам і навязваў яму сваю волю. Стыў добры хлопец; Я аказаў яму вялікую павагу. Я назіраў за яго вучэбнымі войнамі з Джэймсам Тоні ».
