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

Sumpter vs. Perkins headlines “Pandemonium at The Palladium”, presented by Granite Chin Promotions (ДКП), 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, Massachusetts.

“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 (MA) bragging rights for the winner of this potentially “lights-out” fight between these Western (Sumpter, Pittsfield) and Eastern (Perkins, Lynn) 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, също. "

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. И, както казах, he’s not going the distance.”

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

КУИНСИ, Маса. (Юли 10, 2023) – Like some of his fellow countrymen in the past, undefeated Irish light heavyweight prospects Tommy Hyde (5-0, 3 Нокаута) and Thomas “The Kid” O’Toole (7-0, 5 Нокаута) 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 11тата (Август. 12тата rain date) on the “Veterans Stadium Showcase” Pro-Am card, presented by Granite Chin Promotions (ДКП), at Veterans Memorial Stadium on Quincy (MA), 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. "С това каза, 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 11тата."

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 любителски запис. Баща му, Гари Hyde, 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, Украйна. 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 на 60 аматьорски мачове. 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 (MA). Six of his seven pro matches have been held in Greater Boston, the lone exception in Manchester, New Hampshire. “The Kid” is moving up one division to fight Massachusetts cruiserweight champion Scott “Scottie Bombs” Lampert (5-8, 4 Нокаута) 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, Gary, and I think Tommy can go far. He’s said that a fight between us can easily be made if it makes sense. Съгласен съм. We both have big fan bases. This is going to be an amazing, fun night.”

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

In the eight-round, Main Event, former New England Welterweight Champion Mike “Bad Man, Ohan, Jr. (18-2, 9 Нокаута), от Холбрук, and Haverhill’s Harry “The Hitman” Gigliotti (9-4, 3 Нокаута), reigning ABF Atlantic super lightweight title holder, will throw-down in a non-title fight.

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

КУИНСИ, Маса. (Май 3, 2022) – Непобеден Ню Бедфорд (MA) перспектива в полутежка категория Едет Мкапанам (6-0, 5 Нокаута) се бори с операциите на ретината и рамото, които го оставиха настрани 16 месеци преди успешното му завръщане през миналия март.


27-годишният Мкапанам се изправя срещу Скот „Bombz“ Скот през май 7тата Карта за лицензия на родния град, представено от Granite Chin Promotions съвместно с Cappiello Boxing Promotions и Shearns Boxing Promotions, в клуба на ветераните Bridgewater в Бриджуотър, Massachusetts (85 Вила Св.), отбелязвайки първото събитие по професионален бокс, провеждано някога в този град.


Израснал в Броктън, известен като „Градът на шампионите, Мкапанам имаше съкратена аматьорска кариера (8-3), въпреки че беше победител в тежка категория в 2017 Турнир Rocky Marciano, както и подгласник година по-късно в престижния шампионат на Нова Англия Golden Gloves.


Мкапанам имаше операции гръб до гръб, започвайки със скъсана връзка на рамото, последвано от операция за възстановяване на ретината на дясното око.


„Нямах много аматьорска кариера и се учех по време на работа (като про),“, обясни Мкапанам. „Във фитнеса се научих да правя спаринги с някои от най-добрите бойци в Нова Англия като Питър Манфредо, Jr. и Марк Делука. В съзнанието ми, Исках да продължа да се бия и продължих да работя усилено във фитнеса, докато се възстановявах. Някои лекари казаха, че не трябва да се бия отново, така че увеличих интензивността си във фитнеса, и когато ме прегледаха отново, лекарите казаха, че окото ми е много по-добре и имах разрешение да се бия. Имах тежък тренировъчен лагер преди последната си битка, първата след моите операции, и дори не мислех за окото си по време на тази битка.


Мкапанам изглеждаше сравнително остър в своя марш 19тата завръщане битка, спирайки дебютиращия професионалист Игор Песоа в третия кръг на битката им в Дери, New Hampshire.
Сега, Едет е на мисия да навакса пропуснатото време.


„Работих върху удара си и някои други неща,"Той каза. „Целта ми е да се бия на по-големи сцени, което е една от причините да подпиша с (Гранит Chin промотор) Крис Траети. Уважавам Скот Лампърт, но съм на съвсем различно ниво в бокса на Нова Англия, и ще го докажа в тази битка. Знам, че Крис ще ми осигури възможности да се бия на по-големи сцени.”


„Едет беше човек, с когото се интересувах да работя в миналото, но тогава нараняванията му се случиха, преди да можем официално да сключим сделка,“, обясни президентът на Granite Chin Крис Трайети. „Веднъж той протегна ръка и ми каза, че има разрешение да се бие отново, Без да губя време му направих предложение да въздиша с гранитна брадичка. Едет е страхотно момче, което работи здраво и иска да се бори. Говорихме за план за играта му в кариерата. И двамата сме на една страница и ще го видите на голяма сцена в много близко бъдеще.”

Бившият шампион на Нова Англия в полусредна категория Майк „Лошият човек Охан, Jr. (14-1, 8 Нокаута), от Холбрук, MA, заглавия „Hometown Royalty“ в основното събитие от 8 рунда срещу аржентинския опонент Хосе „Ел Чино“ Аубел (8-9, 7 Нокаута).


Quincy (MA) лек Райън „Полският принц“ Келчвески (30-6, 11 Нокаута), а 2008 Национален сребърен медалист от Golden Gloves и двукратен шампион от Нова Англия Golden Gloves, се изправя срещу друг аржентинец, Марио Лозано (18-5-1, 9 Нокаута), в съвместното събитие от 8 кръга.


Броктън, перспективата за полусредна категория Дейвид Рибейро прави своя професионален дебют в битка от 4 рунда срещу Джошуа Цимерман (0-8). Рибейро беше известен аматьор, спечелил златни медали на 2020 New England Златни ръкавици, 2019 Кралят на Пръстена, и регионалния турнир на Майк Тайсън.


Фол Ривър (MA) Деймън Таунс в полусредна категория (4-0, 3 Нокаута) среща Робърт Брикс (0-9) в 4-кръг мач.

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

Оставете коментар
Tyrone Luckey.jpg
КУИНСИ, Маса. (Октомври 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 про рекорд, 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 Нокаута), fighting out of Galloway (NJ), 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. Точно сега, I feel comfortable at 140 паунда, and I feel like I have a ton of power at 130 или 135 паунда. 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, съответно, 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. За негова чест, he signed with me when it wasn’t really popular, not until 8 към 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.

КУИНСИ, Маса. (Август 17, 2021) – New England Heavyweight Champion “Fly” Mike Marshall has the right attitude as he prepares to headline “The Come Up” card, presented by Granite Chin Promotions, on August 28th at New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire.

“The Come Up’ is the name of the professional card being held during the afternoon session of a day-night doubleheader, separate admissions. The championship final of the inaugural “Granite Chin Invitational” will headline the evening portion of Pro-Am doubleheader.

Маршал (5-1-1, 4 Нокаута), fighting out of Danbury (CT), who was supposed to fight on the Fury-Wilder III card July 24 в Лас Вегас, which was postponed until October 9тата due to members of Fury’s camp contracting COVID-19. Instead of playing things safe, avoiding risk and waiting to hear if he’ll be fighting on the rescheduled Tyson-Wilder III PPV, Marshall is fighting Jose “Olimpico” Corral (20-27, 12 Нокаута), in the August 28тата 10-кръг, non-title fight main event.

“I was super excited to be on Fury-Wilder III so I could show everybody what I am capable of,” Marshall remembered. “When I heard Tyson had COVID and the fight was postponed, it disappointed me, but I got that opportunity and figure others will be coming. Аз останах в залата. I’m very happy Chris (promoter Traietti) got me on the card in the first place.

“This is the hurt business and I’m not one of those guys afraid of a challenge. Аз съм боец. The opportunity came up for this fight and I took it. I’m not one to sit at home waiting for a call. This is what I get paid to do. I’m focused on my job and not concerned about the uncontrollable.”

Marshall has won three fights in a row, all at the same venue as his August 28тата борба, including his New England title-winning performance last November, when he took a unanimous 8-round decision from defending N.E. heavyweight champion Justin Rolfe. In his most recent fight this past June, Marshal fought 13-1-1 Steve Vukosa to a 10-round draw, for the vacant NABA – USA crown.

“Winning the New England title meant a lot to be because it’s my first as a pro,” Marshall added. “A lot of people thought that he’d win, and he was the defending champ. I went in there and did what I had to do and took home the belt.

“I proved that I could go 10 hard rounds with a veteran like Steve. A lot of guys on TV can’t do that. Мислех, че съм спечелила, but he’s a veteran who is well known up there. I took care of business and imposed my will on him. Steve is a good guy; I gave him a lot of respect. I watched his training wars with James Toney.”

Rising New England prospect Denzel “Double Impact” Whitley (5-0, 4 Нокаута), an undefeated welterweight from Holyoke (MA), is matched against 57-fight veteran Dewayne Wisdom in the 6-round co-featured event.

The Sumpter brothers from Pittsfield (MA), light heavyweight Steve (1-0, 1 KO) and pro-debuting heavyweight Quintin, will be in action in 4-round matches. Steve faces Tahlik Taylor and 2020 New England Novice Golden Gloves champion Quinn faces Wallace Nass Silva (0-1).
Also fighting on the undercard in 4-round bouts are Lynn, MA heavyweight Dennis Ventura vs. Andrew Nolan (0-1), Holyoke junior middleweight Carlos Castillo (2-0, 2 Нокаута), Florida middleweight Josniel “TG” Castro (4-0, 3 Нокаута), Lawrence, MA lightweight “El Gallo” Kevin Rodriguez (0-1), Springfield’s pro-debuting middleweight Jamer Jones, Niagara Falls junior middleweight Anthony Leaks (17-7, 7 Нокаута), и Springfield (MA) super middleweight Laurent Humes (1-0, 1 KO).
