QUINCY, Masse.

Sie werden beide im August kämpfen 11th (August. 12th Regendatum) auf der Pro-Am-Karte „Veterans Stadium Showcase“., von Granit Chin Promotions präsentiert (GCP), im Veterans Memorial Stadium in Quincy (MA), nur ein Vorort von Boston 10 Meilen südlich der Hauptstadt von Massachusetts.  

„Diese Karte wäre ohne etwas irisches Flair nicht vollständig,„GCP-Präsident Chris Traietti sagte. "Mit dieser sagte, Ich wollte nicht irgendwelche irischen Kämpfer in der Serie haben. Ich wollte zwei der heißesten Interessenten. Die Zusammenarbeit mit beiden Jungs war ein Vergnügen. Ihre Teams waren großartig. Ihre Fangemeinde wird im August verwöhnt 11th."

Sie haben eine solide Fangemeinde aus irischen Ureinwohnern aufgebaut, die jetzt in den Vereinigten Staaten leben, sowie irisch-amerikanische Boxfans, genau wie ihre Vorgänger von der Grünen Insel, Weltmeister Steve Collins und Mike Tyson-Bezwinger Kevin McBride.

Obwohl Hyde und O’Toole in getrennten Sechs-Runden-Kämpfen gegeneinander antreten werden, könnte dies der Auftakt zu einem Showdown zwischen den irischen Halbschwergewichten sein. Sie kämpften zweimal als Amateure, wobei jeder einen gewann und in der Zukunft, sie könnten noch einmal gegeneinander antreten, nur dieses Mal als Profis.

„Ich freue mich, wieder in Boston zu kämpfen,“, sagte Hyde. „Es ist jetzt wie ein zweites Zuhause. Dort leben viele Familienangehörige und Freunde, die mich alle sehr unterstützen, wenn ich dort kämpfe. Es ist eine große Boxstadt und es ist großartig, in die Fußstapfen von Steve Collins und Kevin McBride zu treten, die ich wirklich bewundere.

„Ich habe als Amateur auf der ganzen Welt gekämpft 2019. Ich habe bei einem multinationalen Turnier in Odessa im Freien gekämpft, Ukraine. Es war eine wirklich gute Erfahrung, Deshalb freue ich mich wirklich darauf, draußen in einem Stadion in Boston zu kämpfen.

„Dies wird die zweite Show sein, die wir seit unserer Profikarriere teilen, und es wird wahrscheinlich nicht die letzte sein. Ein Kampf zwischen uns könnte auf der ganzen Linie in Boston oder Irland groß werden. Er ist ein Ire wie ich, Deshalb werde ich ihn unterstützen, bis wir wie jeder andere irische Boxer kämpfen.“

Hyde steht einem Gegner gegenüber, den es zu bestimmen gilt.

„Der Kampf im Freien macht einen Unterschied,“, kommentierte O’Toole, „Vor allem, wenn es heiß und feucht ist. Wenn ich in Irland trainieren würde, könnte ich mich hier im Sommer nicht auf Kämpfe im Freien vorbereiten. Wir haben dort kein heißes und feuchtes Wetter. Ich habe hier bei diesem Wetter trainiert. Es ist erstaunlich, wie das Wetter einem die Kräfte rauben kann. Es hatte eine Wirkung auf mich, als ich als Amateur in Boston im Freien kämpfte.

„Tommy und ich sind als Profis getrennte Wege gegangen, Aber unsere Wege können auf der ganzen Linie wachsen. Wir haben uns nicht oft gesehen, als wir hier auf derselben Karte kämpften. Im Profibereich kommt er sehr gut voran. Mit seinem Vater hat er einen guten Mann hinter sich, Gary, und ich denke, Tommy kann es weit bringen. Er hat gesagt, dass es leicht zu einem Streit zwischen uns kommen kann, wenn er Sinn macht. Genau. Wir haben beide eine große Fangemeinde. Das wird großartig, lustiger Abend.“

Irische Augen werden im August sicherlich lächeln. 11th in Quincy.

QUINCY, Masse. (Mai 3, 2022) – Undefeated New Bedford (MA) light heavyweight prospect Edet Mkapanam (6-0, 5 KOs) 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 7th Hometown Royalty” card, presented by Granite Chin Promotions in association with Cappiello Boxing Promotions and Shearns Boxing Promotions, at Bridgewater Veterans Club in Bridgewater, Massachusetts (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 Rocky Marciano Turnier, 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 (wie ein Profi),” Mkapanam explained. “I learned in the gym sparring with some of the top fighters in New England like Peter Manfredo, Jr. and Mark Deluca. In meinem Kopf, 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 19th comeback fight, stopping pro debut fighter Igor Pessoa in the third round of their fight in Derry, New Hampshire.
Jetzt, Edet is on a mission to make up for lost time.


“I’ve been working on my jab and some other things,"Er sagte. “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, Jr. (14-1, 8 KOs), von Holbrook, MA, headlines “Hometown Royalty” in the 8-round main event against Argentinian opponent Jose “El Chino” Aubel (8-9, 7 KOs).


Quincy (MA) lightweight Ryan “The Polish Prince” Kielczweski (30-6, 11 KOs), ein 2008 National Golden Gloves silver medalist and 2-time New England Golden Gloves Champion, faces another Argentinian, Mario Lozano (18-5-1, 9 KOs), 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 New England Goldene Handschuhe, 2019 King of the Ring, and the regional Mike Tyson Tournament.


Fall River (MA) welterweight Damon Towns (4-0, 3 KOs) meets Robert Bricks (0-9) in einem 4-Runden-Kampf.

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

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar
Tyrone Luckey.jpg
QUINCY, Masse. (Oktober 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 pro Datensatz, 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 KOs), 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. Jetzt, I feel comfortable at 140 Pfund, and I feel like I have a ton of power at 130 oder 135 Pfund. 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, beziehungsweise, 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. Zu seiner Ehre, he signed with me when it wasn’t really popular, not until 8 bis 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.

Ich blieb in der Turnhalle. 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. Ich bin ein Kämpfer. 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 28th Kampf, 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. Ich dachte, ich gewann, 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 KOs), 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).
