QUINCY, Massa. (Juli 10, 2023) – Zoals sommige van zijn landgenoten in het verleden, ongeslagen Ierse licht zwaargewicht vooruitzichten Tommy Hyde (5-0, 3 KO) en Thomas "The Kid" O'Toole (7-0, 5 KO) zijn over "de vijver" gereisd van hun geboorteland Ierland naar Boston om hun professionele bokscarrière te verbeteren.

Ze zullen allebei vechten op de augustus 11th (Augustus. 12th regen datum) op de Pro-Am-kaart "Veterans Stadium Showcase"., gepresenteerd door Granite Chin Promotions (GCP), bij Veterans Memorial Stadium op Quincy (MA), alleen een buitenwijk van Boston 10 mijl ten zuiden van de hoofdstad van Massachusetts.  

“Deze kaart zou niet compleet zijn zonder een vleugje Ierse flair,', zei GCP-president Chris Traietti. "Met dat gezegd, Ik wilde niet zomaar Ierse vechters in de show. Ik wilde twee van de beste prospects. Het was een genoegen om met beide jongens samen te werken. Hun teams waren geweldig. Hun fanbases staan ​​in augustus een traktatie te wachten 11th."

Ze hebben solide fanbases opgebouwd van Ierse inboorlingen die nu in de Verenigde Staten wonen, evenals Ierse Amerikaanse boksfans, net als hun voorgangers van het Smaragdgroene Eiland, wereldkampioen Steve Collins en Mike Tyson-veroveraar Kevin McBride.

Hoewel Hyde en O'Toole in afzonderlijke periodes van zes ronden zullen vechten, zou dit een opmaat kunnen zijn voor een confrontatie tussen de Ierse lichte zwaargewichten.. Ze vochten twee keer als amateurs met elk een overwinning en in de toekomst, ze zouden opnieuw tegen elkaar kunnen worden gematcht, alleen deze keer als professionals.

De 24-jarige Hyde is drievoudig Iers nationaal kampioen die een 80-26 amateur-record. Zijn vader, Gary Hyde, is een internationale matchmaker die talloze wereldkampioenen heeft vertegenwoordigd.

"Ik ben verheugd om weer in Boston te vechten,' zei Hyde. “Het is nu als een tweede thuis. Ik heb daar veel familie en vrienden wonen en ze steunen me allemaal enorm als ik daar aan het vechten ben. Het is een grote boksstad en het is geweldig om in de voetsporen te treden van Steve Collins en Kevin McBride die ik echt bewonder.

“Ik heb over de hele wereld gevochten als amateur in 2019. Ik heb buiten gevochten in een multinationaal toernooi in Odessa, Oekraïne. Het was echt een goede ervaring, dus ik kijk er echt naar uit om buiten te vechten in een stadion in Boston.

“Dit wordt de tweede show die we delen sinds we profs zijn en het zal waarschijnlijk niet de laatste zijn. Een gevecht tussen ons kan groot worden in Boston of Ierland. Hij is een Ier zoals ik, dus ik zal hem steunen totdat we vechten, net als elke andere Ierse bokser.

Hyde staat tegenover een nader te bepalen tegenstander.

O'Toole.jpg

O'Toole, 25, is een andere gevierde Ierse amateur-bokser die de hoogste eer veroverde in de finale van de Haringey Box Cup en Irish Elevate, waarin hij Hyde besloot. "The Kid" heeft gewonnen 51 van 60 amateurwedstrijden. Tien jaar geleden, O'Toole vocht voor de eerste en enige keer buiten in een amateurshow in het stadhuis van Boston, dan geregeld- De burgemeester van Boston, Marty Walsh.

Een linkshandige, O'Toole woont in het nabijgelegen Braintree (MA). Zes van zijn zeven profwedstrijden werden gehouden in Greater Boston, de enige uitzondering in Manchester, New Hampshire. "The Kid" gaat een divisie omhoog om te vechten tegen de cruiserweight-kampioen Scott "Scottie Bombs" Lampert uit Massachusetts (5-8, 4 KO) voor de vacante United States Boxing Federation (USBF) cruiserweight-kroon.

“Buiten vechten maakt een verschil,' merkte O'Toole op, “Vooral als het warm en vochtig is. Ik kon me niet voorbereiden om hier in de zomer buiten te vechten als ik in Ierland aan het trainen was. We hebben daar geen warm en vochtig weer. Ik heb hier getraind met dit weer. Het is verbazingwekkend hoe het weer je krachten kan wegnemen. Het had wel effect op me toen ik als amateur buiten in Boston vocht.

“Tommy en ik zijn als profs onze eigen weg gegaan, maar onze paden kunnen langs de lijn groeien. We hebben elkaar niet veel gezien toen we hier op dezelfde kaart vochten. Hij doet het erg goed in de pro-rangen. Hij heeft een goede man achter zich in zijn vader, Gary, en ik denk dat Tommy ver kan komen. Hij heeft gezegd dat een gevecht tussen ons gemakkelijk kan worden gemaakt als het zinvol is. Ik ga akkoord. We hebben allebei een grote schare fans. Dit wordt geweldig, leuke nacht."

Ierse ogen zullen zeker lachen Aug. 11th in Quincy.

In de achtste ronde, main event, voormalig New England kampioen weltergewicht Mike “Bad Man, JE, Jr. (18-2, 9 KO), van Holbrook, en Harry "The Hitman" Gigliotti van Haverhill (9-4, 3 KO), regerend ABF Atlantic super lichtgewicht titelhouder, zal neergooien in een niet-titelgevecht.

Boksfederatie van de Verenigde Staten (USBF) Kampioen Julien “Black Dragon” Baptiste (5-3, 2 KO), van Woburn, en de titelverdediger van Massachusetts, Jamer Jones (3-1, 3 KO), van Pittsfield, zijn in een middengewicht eenheidsgevecht voor hun titels in het acht ronden tellende evenement.

Gigliotti's stalgenoten, ongeslagen Lowell lichtgewicht Gabriel "The Menace" Morales (7-0, 4 KO) en ongeslagen Methuen middengewicht Luke "The Quiet Storm" Iannuccilli (6-0, 3 KO) zal ook in actie, respectievelijk, tegen Nathan Benichou (2-16-1, 2 KO) en Ryan Thomas Clark (2-4, 1 KO).

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

QUINCY, Massa. (Mei 3, 2022) – Undefeated New Bedford (MA) light heavyweight prospect Edet Mkapanam (6-0, 5 KO) 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-toernooi, 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 (als pro),” 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 mijn gedachten, 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.
Nu, Edet is on a mission to make up for lost time.


“I’ve been working on my jab and some other things,"Hij zei. “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 KO), van Holbrook, MA, headlines “Hometown Royalty” in the 8-round main event against Argentinian opponent Jose “El Chino” Aubel (8-9, 7 KO).


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


Fall River (MA) welterweight Damon Towns (4-0, 3 KO) meets Robert Bricks (0-9) in een 4-ronde Bout.

ANTONIO TODD PHOTO 2.jpg
QUINCY, Massa. (Januari 26, 2022) – Last Saturday night in Detroit, Atlanta middleweight Antonio Todd, Jr. registered his career-defining victory, upsetting World Boxing Council (WBC) Niet Doen. 10-rated Hugo “The Boss” Centeno, Jr. 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 en 96-94, as the other had it a 95-95 trekken. 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, zo ver,” 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. Ik ben nu klaar! 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. "Aanvankelijk, the fight was on, then off, then back on again. Vervolgens, 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. Voor 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.”

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

Laat een reactie achter
Tyrone Luckey.jpg
QUINCY, Massa. (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 record, 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 KO), 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. Op dit moment, I feel comfortable at 140 pond, and I feel like I have a ton of power at 130 of 135 pond. 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, respectievelijk, 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. Op zijn naam, he signed with me when it wasn’t really popular, not until 8 naar 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.

Much at stake for “The Come Up” headliner “Fly” Mike Marshall in “The Come Up” Day-Night Doubleheader August 28 in Derry, N. H.

Laat een reactie achter
MIKE MARSHALL.jpeg
QUINCY, Massa. (Augustus 17, 2021) – New England Heavyweight Champion “Fly” Mike Marshall has the right attitude as he prepares to headline “The Come Up” card, gepresenteerd door 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.

Marshall (5-1-1, 4 KO), fighting out of Danbury (CT), who was supposed to fight on the Fury-Wilder III card July 24 in Las Vegas, which was postponed until October 9th 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 KO), in the August 28th 10-ronde, 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. I stayed in the gym. 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. Ik ben een vechter. 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 gevecht, 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. Ik dacht dat ik won, 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 KO), 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).
