WARD-KOVALEV 2: “THE REMATCH” SET FOR Zaterdag, Juni 17, 2017

AT MANDALAY BAY EVENTS CENTER, LAS VEGAS

LIVE-DOOR HBO pay-per-view®

 

NEW YORK, NY (April 19, 2017) - Reigning WBA World Super Bantamweight Champion Guillermo “El Chacal” Rigondeaux (17-0, 11 KO) will face WBA interim titleholder Moises “Chucky” Flores (25-0, 17 KO) in a long-awaited mandatory 12-round WBA title defense that will tarnish one fighter’s perfect record. Rigondeaux vs. Flores has officially been added to the Pay-Per-View undercard of Ward-Kovalev 2: “The Rematch” at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas on Zaterdag, Juni 17. The championship event, presented by Corona Extra, will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View® vanaf 9:00 p.m. EN/6:00 p.m. PT.

 

“I would like to thank Roc Nation Sports, Caribe Promotions and HBO for the opportunity to fight on the biggest Pay-Per-View card of the year. It will be a night of great boxing that fans will not want to miss out on. It’s going to be a chance to show HBO what they want to see. Some say I’m not exciting but it’s not my fault that once my opponents feel my power, they start running and stop throwing punches. Regardless of that, I’m going to give them what they want. I will be standing in the middle of the ring toe-to-toe and putting on a show for the fans. This is where I’ll show the world what my fans got to see in my last fight in the UK against [James] Dickens,” said Rigondeaux. “I want to thank Moises Flores for having the courage to step in the ring with me and accepting the mandatory challenge unlike many great fighters in my division. Moises is an exciting Mexican fighter who will bring a fight. I will be ready to exhibit why I am one of the best pound-for-pound boxers and the world’s best at 122 pond. I’m ready to give fans the best fight out there, and the best is to come the evening of Juni 17."

 

“I’m very excited to have my world title fight with Guillermo Rigondeaux rescheduled for Zaterdag, Juni 17 on HBO Pay-Per-View,” said Flores. “I’d like to thank my team at Probox Management and TGB Promotions along with HBO for providing this opportunity. I never stopped my preparations from the original date and look forward to making the Mexican fans proud when I defeat the great Rigondeaux.”

 

“Roc Nation Sports is thrilled to add Guillermo Rigondeaux’s championship defense against Moises Flores to the Pay-Per-View undercard of Ward-Kovalev 2: ‘The Rematch’,” said Roc Nation President & Chief of Branding and Strategy Michael R. Yormark. “We know these two champions are ready and eager to put on a big performance on boxing’s biggest stage and undoubtedly, ahead of the most anticipated fight of the year.”

 

“TGB Promotions is proud of this world title opportunity for Moises ‘Chucky’ Flores as he takes on one of the premier fighters in the sport, Guillermo Rigondeaux,”Zei Tom Brown, President van TGB Promotions. “Chucky is well prepared and looking forward to making the Mexican fans proud of their new World Champion on Juni 17."

 

Guillermo “El Chacal” Rigondeaux (17-0, 11 KO), was one of the most celebrated amateur boxers in Cuba before defecting and making his professional debut on May 22, 2009 in Miami, Florida. High expectations had no ill effect on Rigondeaux as he tore through his next five opponents. Op november 13, 2010, in just his seventh pro fight, Rigondeaux faced Ricardo Cordoba for the vacant interim WBA World Super Bantamweight title and left the ring with the belt after scoring a split decision victory. Rigondeaux turned his attention to supremacy in the 122-pound division and accomplished what many considered the unthinkable by knocking out WBA World Super Bantamweight Champion Rico Ramos on January 20, 2012, becoming a world champion in fewer than 10 professionele periodes. Op april 13, 2013 bij Radio City Music Hall in New York City, Rigondeaux scored his biggest victory to date by defeatingWBO and Ring Magazine World Champion and 2012 Fighter of the Year Nonito Donaire. Rigondeaux came away with the victory by unanimous decision after out landing and out punching Donaire throughout the fight to unify titles. In November of 2015, Roc Nation Sports announced that it had signed Rigondeaux to an exclusive promotional agreement and featured him on the HBO Pay-Per-View undercard of the Miguel Cotto vs. Canelo Alvarez mega-fight at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, where he defeated veteran Drian Francisco via a 10-round unanimous decision. Prior to beating Francisco, Rigondeaux was stripped of his title belts due to inactivity, but remained the WBA champion in recess. In mei van 2016, Roc Nation Sports announced that Rigondeaux was reinstated of his WBA belt ahead of a 12-round WBA World Super Bantamweight championship showdown against number 13 rated WBA super bantamweight contender Jazza Dickens on Juli 16 at the Cardiff Ice Arena in Wales. In his first ever appearance in the United Kingdom, Rigondeaux gave fans a thrilling knockout against Dickens. The southpaw landed a big left hook, shattering Dickens’s jaw, halting the fight in the second round with a referee’s decision. Rigondeaux will be raring to go on Juni 17 in his title defense against interim champion Moises Flores.

 

Moises “Chucky” Flores (25-0, 17 KO) learned the fight game growing up in Guadalajara, Mexico, and spent the early years of his professional career building up his résumé in his home country. Now established as a title contender at 122 pond, Flores looks to climb to the top of the division with his considerable talent. Flores is exceptionally tall for his weight class, measuring in at 5 feet 9 inches. Zoals, he tends to have a reach advantage over most of his opponents, although Flores isn’t one to merely fire punches from a distance and box from the outside. He likes to mix it up, and his record reflects that, with most of his opponents going down by knockout. Flores made his pro debut in August 2008 with a second round knockout of Oswaldo Salgado in Guadalajara, Mexico. He fought exclusively in Mexico over the first six years of his career and made quick work of most of his opponents. Flores made his U.S. debuut in september 2014, winning a six round unanimous decision over Pablo Batres in Mesquite, Texas. He then gained a seventh round technical knockout of Mexican veteran Mario Macias in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in november 2014. That victory set up a 122-pound title shot against interim WBA World Super Bantamweight Champion Oscar Escandon in Carson, Californië, in april 2015. In an electrifying, all-action brawl, Flores earned a split decision to win the title. In his last two fights, Flores was able to defend the interim WBA World Super Bantamweight title against Luis Emanuel Cusolito, while also adding the IBO World Super Bantamweight title against Paulus Ambunda. Flores looks forward to claiming the full rights to the WBA World Super Bantamweight title on Juni 17 when he faces current champion Guillermo Rigondeaux in a 12-round championship showdown.

VLADIMIR TIKHONOV WANTS TO TEST ACES QUIGG, RIGO AND/OR DONAIRE

RUSSIAN HITTER SEEKS STERNEST TESTS AT 122
Voor onmiddellijke publicatie

Vladimir Tikhonov, beoordeeld Geen 9 Door de WBA, en nr 13 by WBO, has put word out that he’s ready, willing and more than able to rumble with the best and brightest in the super bantamweight division.

Scott QUIGG, “let’s get it on”, he is calling the former WBA champion out, through promoter Dmitriy Salita.

Guillermo Rigondeaux, “I respect your skills but don’t believe you are invincible”, is Tikhonov’s message for the Cuban sweet scientist.

Nonito Donaire, “If you take care of business November. 5 against Jessie Magdalendo then how about you step to the line against me,”, said the 15-0 (8 KO) Russisch.

Tikhonov is a big, strong super bantamweight who knows how to use his height, reach and power,” Salita said of the southpaw pugilist tutored by Igor Shafer in St Petersburg, Rusland. “Vladimir is very well schooled and wants to fight the best fighters in the division. Russia is producing lots of top notch fighters, contenders and world champions. I feel that Vladimir has the skills and experience to be the new face in the super bantamweight division!”

De 26 year-old Tikhonov got it done in his last outing against 40-4 Mikhail Krivolapov. Salita has proven himself to be judicious talent spotter, no surprise since he’s been to the mountain top himself, as a standout at 140 pond, met een 35-2-1 record at junior welterweight/welterweight. “This Russian is ready to rock and makes heads roll at super bantamweight,” Woord zei. “He can finish out this year with a bang and climb even higher in 2017!”

Afgelopen juni, Flores scored an impressive unanimous decision victory over Paulus Ambunda (24-2, 10 KO), in his home town of Windhoek, Namibië (Afrika), to earn the world title strap.
Bloemen, who is also the WBA interim champion, is now the mandatory challenger to face WBA super-champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (17-0, 11 KO). Both camps are in negotiations with the possibility of the fight happening in the next few months. If the fight comes to fruition, both the WBA and IBO world title belts will be on the line. After receiving his IBO world title belt, and a big fight looming with Rigondeaux, Flores speaks on his current situation.
Winning the IBO world championship is a testament to my hard work and the great team around me,” said Mexico’s Moises “Chucky” Bloemen. “Together we worked really hard to get this world title. I’m now the mandatory to challenge Guillermo Rigondeaux, a fight I’m looking forward to. He’s very skilled but I feel I have all the tools to defeat him. My management team is working hard to get this fight finalized. It’s time to see who the best super-bantamweight is. I going to bring that world title home to Mexico.

Guillermo Rigondeaux’ manager accepts offer From Vasyl Lomachenko’s manager

CORK, Ierland (Juli 13, 2015) – Ier Gary Hyde, de manager van unified super bantamgewicht (122 lbs.) wereldkampioen Bill “The Jackal” Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 KO), heeft in principe het bod van aanvaard Egis klimaat, manager van de World Boxing Organization (WBO) vedergewicht (126 lbs.) kampioen Vasyl “Hi-tech” Lomachenko (4-1, 2 KO), voor een Super Fight.

 

Rigondeaux is de regerend World Boxing Association (WBA) Super, WBO en De Ring tijdschrift super bantamgewicht kampioen.

 

Cubaans-inheemse Rigondeaux, die woont nu in Miami, en Oekraïense geboren Lomachenko zijn beide tweevoudig Olympisch gouden medaillewinnaars.

 

“'Rigo’ zal vechten Lomachenko bij een catchweight van 124 pond, dat was geen probleem moeten zijn voor Lomachenko omdat hij woog 125 pond voor een van zijn professionele gevechten, Hyde zei. “'Rigo’ is een kleine 122-ponder, die kon maken 118 zonder veel moeite, maar hij zou worden weggeven grootte en het gewicht voordelen Lomachenko geconfronteerd.

Boxing’s most avoided world champion Guillermo Rigondeaux heading to UK next month To publically confront Scott Quigg

CORK, Ierland (April 12, 2015) – Unified super bantamweight world champion Bill “The Jackal” Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 KO), arguably the most avoided reigning world title holder in modern boxing history, will travel to London next month in order to publicly confront his mandatory challenger, Scott QUIGG (30-0-2, 22 KO), the World Boxing Association (WBA) “regelmatig” 122-pond divisie titlist.

 

A month ago in an unusual move, Rigondeaux’ manager Gary Hyde formally petitioned the WBA to enforce a mandatory title fight between his WBA Super champion and Quigg. Hyde is awaiting the WBA’s decision. Rigondeaux is also the World Boxing Organization (WBO) en De Ring tijdschrift super bantamgewicht kampioen.

 

A reigning world champion hasn’t been avoided by other world champions and top contenders like Rigondeux has for the past two years since, misschien, junior middengewicht Sergio Martinez, or possibly all the way back to middleweight Mike McCallum.

 

The top three super bantamweights in the world outside of RigondeauxInternational Boxing Federation (IBF) en de World Boxing Council (WBC) kampioenen, Carl Frampton en Leo Santa Cruz, respectievelijk, plus Quigghave avoided the Cuban great like the plaque. Once Santa Cruzpromoter at the time, Oscar de la Hoya, announced that a Rigondeaux-Santa Cruz had to happen, Santa Cruz’ powerful adviser, Al HAYMON, exercised a contract option and bought him out to avoid a fight with ‘Rigo.Frampton’s promoter, Barry McGuigan, has proclaimed his fighter, not Rigondeaux, als de nr. 1 super featherweight in the world. McGuigan, hoewel, is interested in Frampton fighting Quigg in a U.K. confrontatie, rather than a world mega-fight for three of the four major sanctioning world titles. As the “regelmatig” WBA champion, Quigg is Rigondeaux’ verplichte uitdager, nog, he apparently wants no part of the two-time Olympic gold medalist because his promoter, Barry Hearn, not only hasn’t pushed the issue, he’s in negotiations with McGuigan for Frampton to fight Quigg.

 

Former world super bantamweight champions Nonito Doniare, after he lost a unification fight to Rigondeaux two years ago, en Abner Mares chose to move up one division to fight as featherweights. And now Donaire reports that his manager was contacted by a Quigg representative to discuss a Donaire-Quigg fight in England.

 

Another two-time Olympic gold medalist, WBO 126-pound champion Vasyl Lomachenko, continually insists that “Lijn” has to move up in weight for a fight to happen despite him having no problems making 126.

 

“QUIGG, Santa Cruz and Frampton have showed no desire to challenge Rigondeaux,” Hyde zei. “These three fighters are trying to fool the public into believing that fight de nr. 1 guy in the world is not important. While they are lining their pockets with ridiculous amounts of cash for fighting below par opponents, Rigondeaux is forced to wait around until some Asian opponent steps up. This is a sport in which we are accustomed to seeing the best fighting the best but, in the super bantamweight division, it’s the best versus the rest.

 

Rigondeaux will travel to Manchester to fight Quigg, Belfast to fight Frampton, or Las Vegas to fight Santa Cruz. None of these so-called world champions, hoewel, will consider fighting the acknowledged world super bantamweight champion. They’re all much more content to hold onto their belts than beating The Man in their weight class.

 

Next month, Hyde reports, Rigondeaux will travel to the United Kingdom in a bold attempt to embarrass Quigg into fighting him. “I don’t like traveling overseas unless I have a fight lined up,” Rigondeaux explained, “but I will travel to England in May to publicly call out Scott Quigg. If he turns down the chance to fight our WBA mandatory, he will be remembered for that instead of being known as a great fighter. While I’m in the UK, I will also go to Belfast to checkout Carl Frampton to ask if he wants to prove himself against the best in his division.

 

Understanding that the top super bantamweight action is currently in Europe, noting a record purse ($2.2 million USD) offered for a Frampton vs. Quigg fight, Rigondeaux is considering a major change in the not too distant future, moving his base from Miami to the UK, if that’s what it takes for him to get in on the action.

 

Hyde also manages former WBO middleweight champion and current International Boxing Federation (IBF) Niet Doen. 1 verplichte mededinger Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam (31-1, 18 KO), former WBA Interim cruiserweight champion Yuri “El Toro” Kalenga (21-2, 14 KO) and Georgian super lightweight Levan “De Wolf” Ghvamichava (14-1-1, 11 KO) , as well as top prospects such as Cuban super bantamweight Mark Bos (2-0, 2 KO), Iers zwaargewicht Met Sheehan and Bulgarian light heavyweight Blagoy Naydenov.

Manager John Seip tekent Italiaanse super middengewicht vooruitzicht Daniele Marco Scardina

(L-R) – Daniel Mark Scardina en John Seip

 

MIAMI (April 6, 2015) – Veteraan boksen manager John Seip heeft ondertekend zeer ingericht Italiaanse amateur-bokser Daniel Mark Scardina een exclusieve bestuurlijke overeenkomst.

 

Seip is het best bekend voor het begeleiden van Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin aan de World Boxing Organization (WBO) wereld middengewicht titel. De inheemse New Yorker beheert ook de stijgende Britse super middengewicht Ros “De Hengst” Woodall (7-0-1, 5 KO).

 

De 21-jarige Scardina afkomstig uit Rozzano, een stad van minder dan 40,000 mensen in de provincie Milaan. Hij begon boksen in 2008 op de leeftijd van 16, in de voetsporen van zijn oom, die was een bokser op dat moment, evenals Daniele's rolmodel.

 

Scardina, wie had 56 amateur-aanvallen, gevangen hoogste eer in tal van Italiaanse toernooien waaronder de Rovereto National, Nationale Silver Glove, en twee Nationale Golden Gloves. Ook won hij een bronzen medaille op een internationaal evenement.

 

In 2013, hij boxed voor de Italia Thunder Boxing Team in de World Series of Boxing, het winnen van zijn enige wedstrijd tegen een Duitse tegenstander.

 

Scardina ving eerst de aandacht Seip's op de wereldberoemde 5th St. Sportschool in Miami Beach, oorspronkelijk geopend in 1950 door Chris Dundee, en het huis van talloze wereldkampioenen hebben er getraind met inbegrip Muhammad Ali, Carmen Basilio, Willie Pastrano, Emile Griffith, Archie Moore, Roberto Duran, Sonny Liston en Willie Pep. De rijke traditie wordt voortgezet in het nieuwe 5th St. Sportschool, in de buurt van gelegen 1434 Alton Straat, waar de top vechters uit de hele wereld, zoals Bernard Hopkins nog steeds trainen.

 

“Ik zag hem voor het eerst trainen op het 5th St. Sportschool en hij zag eruit als een typische amateur,” Seip uitgelegd. “Hij gooide breed stoten en wist niet hoe je een goede jab gooien. Sneakers Guy Laieta en Dino Spencer begon te werken met hem en nu is hij met behulp van zijn bereik, vechten op een afstand, en het gooien van combinaties van jabs en haken. Hij is over boksen gepassioneerd, luisteren en leren elke dag. Daniele heeft goede hand snelheid en kracht. Hij is een knappe jongen, ook. Ik zag iets in hem, immateriële activa, en besloot hem te ondertekenen.

 

“Dino is een eigenaar die een top-notch fitnessruimte heeft gemaakt met grote sparring mogelijkheden in een sfeer met zoveel getalenteerde strijders die elkaar echt te duwen. Het is nu al duidelijk dat Danielle zijn opleiding vaardigheden er is verbeterd. Hij is lang, snel en krachtig. Zijn arbeidsethos is ongelooflijk; hij is de eerste in de sportschool, laatste te vertrekken. U kunt deze jongen geen kwaad, beide. We geloven allemaal dat hij een zeer mooie toekomst.”

 

Scardina raakt zware tas op 5th St. Sportschool in Miami Beach

In tegenstelling tot de strijders uit Rusland en de voormalige Sovjet-blok landen, evenals die uit Latijns-Amerika, die naar de Verenigde Staten komen om hun professionele boksen carrière te vestigen, Italië geboren strijders hebben zelden dezelfde route als Scardina gevolgd, die vorig jaar naar Miami verhuisde en slaapt op de vloer van zijn broer appartement.

 

De eenzame Italië geboren wereldkampioen, die professioneel in Amerika vochten is Vito Antuofermo (50-7-2, 21 KO), die de WBC / WBA middengewicht kampioen in was 1979-1980. Antuofermo, hoewel, verhuisde met zijn familie naar Brooklyn uit Puglia, Italië toen hij 17 en hij leerde het vak in Amerika.

 

“Ik heb altijd al een kampioen in Amerika,” Scardina zei. “Dat is de Amerikaanse droom voor mij. Ik denk dat ik een grote kans in dit land tot de grootste bokser ik kan met de juiste hulp te hebben. John Seip is de juiste manager voor mij, omdat hij gelooft dat we kunnen wereldkampioenschap het samen als een team.”

 

Scardina favoriete boxers zijn Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Guillermo Rigondeaux en Miguel Cotto. “Ik ben bezig met perfectie als een externe vechter en naar de belangrijkste mijn armen dichterbij,” Scardina toegevoegd. Ik vecht om wereldkampioen te worden.”

 

Scardina wordt verwacht dat hij zijn pro-debuut in mei of juni te maken.

Manager Gary Hyde petities WBA Om verplichte titel gevecht tussen Rigondeaux en Quigg af te dwingen

 

CORK, Ierland (Maart 12, 2015) – International boksen manager Gary Hyde, president van Nowhere2Hyde management, heeft formeel verzoekschrift ingediend bij de World Boxing Association (WBA) een verplichte titel gevecht tussen Hyde's vechter af te dwingen, WBA Super & World Boxing Organization (WBO) super bantamgewicht kampioen Bill “The Jackal” Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 KO), en WBA “regelmatig” 122-pond divisie titlist Scott QUIGG (30-0-2, 22 KO).

 

Hieronder vindt een kopie van de brief van Hyde's om de WBA:

 

 

Dear Chairman Mendoza:

 

Ik schrijf als manager van Guillermo Rigondeaux, de Unified WBA / WBO kampioen.

 

I write to request enforcement of the mandatory. Uniquely in the Super Bantamweight Division Guillermo Rigondeaux is the “Unified Kampioen” en Scott Quigg is de “Reguliere Champion.”

Clearly as the Regular Champion Quigg is the highest ranked contender in the division. While he was injured he is now back in training and there is no reason why Mr. Rigondeaux niet kunnen of mogen niet zijn verplichte verplichtingen tegen de heer voldoen. QUIGG.

 

We are aware that there are some discussions about a bout between Quigg and Frampton. Echter, we in contact met de IBF zijn geweest en zij zullen niet sanctioneren de eenwording gevecht met iemand anders dan het hoogste niveau kampioen die in dit geval is Guillermo Rigondeaux.

 

Wij stellen respectvol dat het het beste om te gaan met de verplichte kwestie nu en verzoek dat Quigg en Guillermo worden gericht aan de onderhandelingen te beginnen.

 

Hoogachtend,

 

Gary Hyde

 

 

Hyde beheert ook WBA Interim cruiserweight kampioen Yuri “El Toro” Kalenga(21-1, 14 KO), voormalige WBO middengewicht kampioen en huidige International Boxing Federation (IBF) Niet Doen. 1 verplichte mededinger Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam (31-1, 18 KO), en top super bantamgewicht vooruitzicht Mark Bos (1-0, 1 KO).
