MULVANE, Máj. (Máj 21, 2018) — History was made this past Saturday night on the “SUPERBOX LIVE: High Stakes” pay-per-view card, kedy 2016 Olympic bronze medalist and local hero, nico Hernandez, knocked out Hungarian challenger Szilveszter “Silent Assassin” Kanalas in the opening round to capture the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Flyweight World Championship in only his fifth professional fight, v Kansas Star Arena v Mulvane, Kansas.

 

 

 

In the first world title fight ever held in Kansas, Hernandez (5-0, 4 KO) overwhelmed Kanalas (14-7, 9 KO), the former World Boxing Federation (WBF) super flyweight world champion, to become the youngest (22) IBA world champion ever, as well as setting the record for the fewest pro fights needied to become IBA world titlist.

 

SUPERBOX LIVE: High Stakes was launched as Super Channel’s new live boxing series,SUPERBOX LIVE, v spojení s KO Night Boxing LLC, and it aired live exclusively in Canada on Super Channel.

 

 

 

Integrated Sports Media distributed “SUPERBOX LIVE: High Stakes” in the United States on cable, satellite and digital pay-per-view as it was live-streamed worldwide on FITE.TV aplikáciu a web (excluding Canada).

 

 

 

Hernandez was aggressive from the opening bell, pounding Kanalas’ head and body. A Hernandez left hook to the body really hurt Kanalas, who went down from a right that followed the vicious liver shot. Kanalas beat Hall of Fame Steve Smoger‘s count, and it was only a matter of time before Hernandez would end the fight. It came soon, right after another body-and-head combination put the over-matched Hungarian on the mat for the second and final time.

 

 

 

“A lot of people underestimate my power,” Hernandez said after the fight. “I believe that once he felt my power, I don’t think he wanted it anymore. I felt like I took his heart away. I was patient, I wanted it to go a few rounds to see what he had, but I took his heart away. I can’t really be disappointed because I am a world champion now.”

 

 

 

“Nico was explosive Saturday night and he showed killer instinct,” podporovateľ John Andersen komentoval. “He was going to box, but I think he smelled fear, and Nico got into Kanalas’ head. He sensed it and jumped on him.”

 

 

 

Before he left the ring, Hernandez took the microphone in the center of the ring and called out three-time Olympian and two-time Olympic bronze medalist, “Írsky” Paddy Barnes (5-0, 1 KO), who was the favored to win a gold medal in the flyweight division at the 2016 Olympijské hry. He was eliminated in the round of 16 and Hernandez took home the bronze medal. “There’s a bronze medalist from (Northern) Írsko, Paddy Barnes, and that’s who I’d really love to fight.”

 

 

 

“I think that’s a fight we should start a conversation about,” Andersen remarked. “It’s not line Barnes is 21 (on je 31) and I don’t know of a lot of 30 or older flyweights. It makes a lot of sense and can be a big fight. They’re both Olympic bronze medalist, already fought in scheduled 10 a 12 round fights, and have belts. (Barnes is the WBO Intercontinental flyweight champ). Nico needs to step up in terms of competition, tiež. I think they should get in the ring and then we can see what happens.

 

 

 

“If they don’t want to make this fight right away, maybe we can build it up by putting them on the same card, and then fight next year. This fight makes a lot of sense for both fighters and Nico has already said he wants to fight Barnes.”

 

 

 

Hernandez joined reigning IBA world champions, light heavyweight Sergey Kovalev a juniorskej strednej váhy Mark DeLuca, as well as past IBA world champions such as Hall of Famers Oscar de la Hoya, George Foreman, Roberto Duran a Arturo Gatti, in addition to starsRoy Jones, Jr., Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosely, James Toney, Mikkel Kessler, Eric Morales, Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, Glen Johnson a Antonio Tarver.

 

 

 

2011 Russia Junior Championships gold medalist Andrey Afonin (6-0, 3 KO) kept his undefeated record in tact when Pedro “El Reguilete” Rodriguez (23-4, 19 KO), the Cuban native and former World Boxing Association (WBA) Fedalatin cruiserweight champion, was unable to answer the bell in the third round of the co-featured event.

 

 

 

Unbeaten Ukrainian heavyweight Oleksandr Teslenko (13-0, 11 KO), promoted by DiBella Entertainment and fighting out of Toronto, Zastavil Terrance “Big Jim” Marbra (9-6, 7 KO) v druhom kole.

 

 

 

Undefeated Washington featherweight Victor Morales, Jr. (9-0, 5 KO) was too much forDavid Berna (15-4, 14 KO), of Hungary, who complained of an elbow injury and lost by way of a second-round technical knockout, in the televised opener.

 

 

 

In the television swing bout, which was held prior to the main event, popular Wichita junior welterweight Jeff Strum (3-0, 2 KO) kept the train rollin’ with a second-round knockout of Nigeria-native Archie Weah (2-11).

 

 

 

In the most competitive fight of the night, as well as the lone match that went the complete distance, St. Louis cruiserweight Leroy Jones (3-3, 2 KO) won a four-round unanimous decision over Kansas City, KS favorite Chris Harris (2-3-2, 2 KO).

The 27-year-old O’Reilly (pictured to right) captured his IBA Intercontinental title last October, keď sa zastavil Oscar Arjona (13-6) at Hersey Centre.
“I’m excited to headline because I’ve always felt it would be cool to fight on St. Paddy’s Day, v hlavnej udalosti, close to home and defending my title” O’Reilly said without a hint of an Irish brogue. “I’m very grateful for the opportunity and looking forward to putting on a very good performance for everyone.
“Moje ciele pre 2018 are to keep improving, I’d like to be in some domestic fights and then set myself up on the international scene early next year.
“Josh had a breakout year in 2017,” O’Reilly’s promoter Tyler Buxton komentoval. “He came into the year with only one knockout in seven fights. V 2017, after moving up in weight and competition, he stopped all three opponents. Josh proved he’s one of the top lightweights in Canada and, v 2018, we’re looking to prove he’s the best in the country.”
Former International Boxing Federation (IBF heavyweight champion Frankie Rill (14-2, 10 KO), faces Argentinian knockout-artist Sebastián “El Grandote” Ignacio Ceballos (34-9-2, 26 KO) in the eight-round co-featured event.

Waldo “Chino” Rojas (4-2-1, 1 KO), of Mexico, unbeaten Armenia native and Montreal resident Andranik Grigoryan (2-0) proti. undefeated Mexican featherweight Sergio “El Duende” Palafox (7-0, 2 KO), and pro-debuting Canadian super welterweight Karl “Razor” Hess proti. Mexičan Mario Bedolla Orozzo (0-1-1). Grigoryan gained invaluable experience as a key member of the Russian Boxing Team in the World Series of Boxing.
“Our St. Patrick’s Day event is going to be a great night of fights with Irish Josh ‘Dubs’ O’Reilly as the headliner, defending his IBA International title,” Buxton added. “Tiež, Irish boxers Tim Cronin and Cody Kelly will be in action, so it’s safe to say the boys in green will be out March 17th at Hershey Centre. The undercard is packed with the likes of former IBF International Heavyweight Champion Franz Rill, pro debuts of the gold medalist and 2017 Best Boxer of the India’s Super Pro Boxing League, Sukhdeep, and hard-hitting native Canadian Karl “Razor” Hess. To top off a stacked card, World Series of Boxing Russian Team member Andranik Grigoryan will be making his first visit to Ontario.”

2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez & Hungarian champion Jozsef Ajtai have taken different paths into pro ranks

“KO Night Box: zlato & Sláva” pre
vacant IBA Americas flyweight title
Decembra. 2 na Hartman Arena v Park City, KS
PARK CITY, Kansas (November 20, 2017) – USA Olympian and hometown hero nico Hernandez and Hungarian flyweight champion Jozsef “Malá červená” Ajtai took completely different paths into the professional ranks.
Hernandez vs, Ajtai is the eight-round main event for the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Americas flyweight title fight, Sobota noc, December 2, na “KO Night Box: zlato & Sláva” karta, na Hartman Arena v Park City, Kansas.
“KO Night Box: zlato & Sláva” je prezentácia KO Night boxu LLC., V súvislosti s Hartman aréne, a podporovaný z časti Twister City Harley-Davidson metro PCS, Mort’s Cigar Bar aJimmy’s Egg.
Akcia bude nahrávaný naživo pre budúce vysielanie na CBS Sports Network.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 KO), bojuje out of Wichita, was a decorated amateur boxer who compiled a sterling 123-12 záznam, highlighted by his bronze-medal winning performance at the 2016 Olympijské hry v Brazílii. Hernandez made his pro debut last March. All his fights have been at home, each has been in the main event, and on national television. His fight against Ajtai, však, will be his first title fight, coming in only his fourth pro bout.
Ajtai, kto je jeden rok a šesť dní mladší než Hernandez, made his professional debut 2 ½ years ago, and he’s already fought in five title fights.
Hernandez’ amateur pedigree versus Ajtai’s pro experience?
“I feel like I’m already at the level of a lot of top pro fighters,” Hernandez said. The only advantage he has is he’s used to fighting more rounds than I (this is Nico’s first scheduled 8-rounder), but I don’t plan on letting it go the distance anyways.
“I feel blessed to have this IBA title fight opportunity so early in my pro career. It honestly couldn’t come any faster. I do believe it will be special and open a tot of opportunities to fight bigger names once I win this fight. A win should open-up additional title fight opportunities, both overseas and, hopefully, back here at home to help us continue building Wichita into a fight town.”
Ajtai (19-9, 12 KO) has already had 28 Pre boje, including a full 10-round distance loss by decision last year at Madison Square Garden in New York City to two-time Olympic gold medalist Shiming Zou, bývalý World Boxing Organization (WBO) mušia váha majstrom sveta. The Hungarian has fought at home in Hungary, as well as on the road in the United Kingdom, Španielsko, Nemecko, Ukrajina a Slovensko. A trip to America’s heartland doesn’t faze him in the least.
“He will be at home, where everybody wants to fight, but this isn’t a problem for me,” Ajtai explained. “I know he is a good boxer, but I will try to be a bit better December 2nd. When my condition is good, as it is for this fight, nobody likes to fight me.
“To je veľká príležitosť pre mňa. It’s always difficult to beat a good fighter but doing so is real success. Fighting Shiming Zou in only my fourth fight was very nice for me. I want that feeling again in this fight against Nico.”
Hernandez realizes that this fight could be his last at home for a while, due to the lack of quality American flyweights, and that most world-class fighters in his weight class are from Central America, Thailand and Japan.
“I don’t think I’ll have many more fights at home,” Hernandez admits. “I don’t think that will matter too much because I feel more pressure fighting at home than elsewhere. I will miss everyone cheering my name like they do at home. I think I’ll be traveling more to fight bigger names to work my way up the ladder until I’m at the top.
“I think the early rounds in this fight (proti. Ajtai) will be a chess match because, from what I’ve seen, he runs a lot. I feel that once I start landing my body shots, he’ll slowdown in the latter rounds. a, like I’ve said, I don’t plan on this fight going the distance.”
Ajtai, samozrejme, isn’t traveling all the way to Kansas to visit Dorothy or the Wizard of Oz, Prichádza k víťazstvu!
“Nico nebudú vedieť, kde budem v ringu,” Ajtai predpovedal. “Keď sa pozrie na ľavej strane pre mňa, pôjdem doprava; keď sa snažia, aby ma našiel na pravej strane, Budem na ľavej strane. Keď chce odpočívať, Prídem dopredu dierovanie; keď chce punč, on ma nenájde.
“Mám plán pre tento boj a som si istý, že robí rovnako. Ale, v kruhu, Iba plán jedného bojovník môže uspieť. Bude to byť dobrý boj, ale nemôžem sľúbiť verejnosť, že Nico bude víťazom.”
The full “zlato & Sláva” card will be announced later this week. Všetky boje a bojovníci sa môžu zmeniť.

PARK CITY, KANSAS (Október 23, 2017) – 2016 Bronzový olympijský medailista nico Hernandez will be fighting for his first professional title on Sobota, December 2, when he takes on Hungarian invaderJozsef “Malá červená” Ajtai in the eight-round main event for the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Flyweight Championship, headlining “KO Night Box: zlato & Sláva” na Hartman Arena v Park City, Kansas.

“KO Night Box: zlato & Sláva” je prezentácia KO Night boxu LLC., V súvislosti s Hartman aréne, a podporovaný z časti Twister City Harley-Davidson metro PCS, Mort’s Cigar Bar a Jimmy Egg.

Akcia bude nahrávaný naživo pre budúce vysielanie na CBS Sports Network.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 KO), bojuje out of Wichita, will be fighting in a scheduled eight-round bout for the first time. His three pro fights to date were all scheduled for six rounds and each was held in Kansas, the last two in his second home, Hartman Arena.
In his last fight this past September 23rd, Hernandez was forced to fight late replacement Kendrick “Uprising” Latchman who outweighed the celebrated American Olympian by more than 10 libier. Hernandez won a six-round unanimous decision by scores of 60-54 a 59-55 dvakrát.
Despite being younger than Hernandez by almost a year to the day, Ajtai (19-9, 12 KO) has already had 28 Pre boje, including a full 10-round distance loss by decision last year to two-time Olympic gold medalist Shiming Zou, bývalý World Boxing Organization (WBO) mušia váha majstrom sveta.
“By far, Nico is fighting the toughest opponent of his pro career,” Hernandez’ podporovateľ John Andersen (“KO Night Boxing LLC) povedal. “Ajtai has much more experience as a pro than Nico, plus he went the distance against a two-time Olympic gold medalist, Zou. Ajtai is a busy fighter with a good knockout ratio (63%). This fight is going to tell us a lot about Nico, especially his power at 112 libier.
“Nico fighting for a title in only his fourth pro fight proves that all our hard efforts of KO Night Boxing and Team Nico has paid off quickly and we’re grateful that the IBA has given him this great opportunity. I didn’t realize the high quality of champions the IBA has had in the past and we’re proud that Nico can someday join this group. In the flyweight division, Nico may enter world title fight shot discussions earlier than I had originally thought, which was in his third year as a pro. An impressive performance against Ajtai could position him for a world title fight next year with less than 10 fights under his belt.”
“We’re excited to have an American Olympian fighting for our first Americas title,” IBA PresidentJ.C. Courreges pridaný. “Nico Hernandez is an Olympic bronze medalist and we’re hopeful that he will develop into an IBA world champion in the not too distant future. His amateur pedigree speaks for itself and we’re very happy to have this young man fighting for the IBA Americas title.”

TLAČOVÁ SPRÁVA

(L) – New IBA President J.C. Courreges with former IBA world champion Roberto Duran
VENTNOR CITY, N.J. (August 22, 2017) – The International Boxing Association (IBA) has been relaunched worldwide by a sports group headed by the new IBA president, J.C. Courreges.
V 1991, two-time Major League Baseball all-star pitcher and Cy Young Award winner Dean Chance founded the IBA, guiding the international sanctioning body until his death in 2015.
