Undisputed Welterweight Champion Jessica McCaskill looking for Biggest names in Boxing

McCaskill eying showdowns with Taylor and Shields


Chicago, IL (Marzo 17, 2021) – Fresh off her second consecutive victory over future Hall of Famer, Cecilia Braekhus, undisputed welterweight champion, Jessica McCaskill is looking to fight the biggest names on the female circuit.


McCaskill of Chicago, easily outpointed the legendary Braekhus by scores of 100-89, 99-90 e 98-91 to win her fifth consecutive and raise her record to 10-2.


I felt my aggression was really good, just keeping the pressure non-stop, and we are ready for what is next. She was running in, and crowded herself, and I figured if she was going to run in, I would have to get at least one or two shots off, and she kept doing it, so I kept doing it as well. I wanted to move and show some more angles, but she kept coming straight in, so she was right there,” said McCaskill.


A fight with Katie Taylor might be the next thing on the agenda. If that is what it is, that would be great. If that does not work out, then there are a couple of other names out there. As for Claressa Shields, McCaskill thinks a fight with her can happen, “That could be a possibility if Claressa could come down to 147 libbre. All'inizio, she said that she would not give up any weight, and now she is saying she would, so we are just going to have to see if they are going to take this seriously.

Said McCaskill’s promoter, Leon Margules dei Warriors Boxing, “Jessica proved yet again that she is one of the top fighters in the world. She has now dominated the fighter that has been the long-time pound for top boxer. We would love to fight anyone, and a fight with Katie Taylor would most certainly have a different outcome then their first fight. Fights with Taylor or Claressa would be historic fights as it would match two of the reigning undisputed champions against each other.

Jessica McCaskill Gets Her Wish to Face Katie Taylor: Social Media Challenges Turn to Women’s Super Fight on December 13 a Londra

Christmas comes a little early this year for hard-punching Warriors Boxing lightweight Jessica ‘CasKILLAMcCaskill.

All year, she and manager/trainer Rick Ramos have been expressing their wish, via social media, to face Irish gold medalist turned professional world champion Katie Taylor.
Su Mercoledì, Dicembre 13, they will get their wish, as Chicago-based McCaskill (5-1, 3 KO) will challenge Taylor (7-0, 4 KO) for her WBA Lightweight Championship at York Hall in London, Inghilterra, and live before a massive audience on Sky Sports.
I’m relieved. I’ve been working toward this fight for a long time,” said McCaskill, nominale #2 in the world at 135 lbs and #1 in the United States in women’s boxing. “We have been training for this fight since my last fight because we knew it was coming and we’ve definitely bumped up the intensity.
Before turning professional a year ago, the popular Taylor, from Bray, won lightweight gold at the 2012 London Olympics, as well as an impressive assortment of world and European amateur championships. Known as the Irish athlete of her entire generation, Taylor is regarded as a superstar in the UK because of her aggressive and crowd-pleasing style.
I’ve never watched a full fight of hers,” professed McCaskill. “I’ve seen some highlights. I see mistakes she makes, but it’s not so much what I see in her. It’s what I see in all her opponents. They’ve all been scared of her. I am not. You won’t see any fear in me. Everybody else was terrified to engage her. They just showed up. I’ll be fighting to the last bell.
Much of the credit for landing the fight must go to Ramos, who doggedly pursued Taylor and her promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing, on social media.
I felt like offended about comments Katie and Eddie made about how no one wants to fight her,” explained Ramos. “I remember thinking, ‘well, NO ONE called Jessica. We would love to fight Katie!’ That kind of started everything. Eddie Hearn finally did contact me via Instagram and things started getting real. I was happy that my social-media tactic worked!”
McCaskill, who also works full-time in Regulatory and Reporting at R.J. O’Brien & Associates investment bank in Chicago, says she’s not intimidated about stepping into Taylor’s home field for this fight. Infatti, she’s expecting a number of her fans to be there as well.
It’s funny because of my job and my previous investment banking job, I have a lot of contacts and friends over there who are excited to show up for me. My company I work for has a branch that is three miles from the venue. I’ll be expecting a lot of fans there for me as well that night. It would be incredible to headline over there and to break her undefeated record and get my first world title in one night in front of them. Non vedo l'ora!”

Selina Barrios spaventa il suo avversario, Zarina Tsoloyeva si ritira dalla lotta



RAYNE, LA (Novembre 2, 2017) – Due giorni dopo Halloween, sensazione femminile imbattuta, leggero Selina “Regina Aztec” Quartieri (2-0, 1 KO), ha spaventato il suo avversario, Zarina Tsoloyeva (Pro Debut) da Zhaksy, Kazakhstan, mentre si è ritirata dal loro incontro programmato di 4 round, che si terrà oggi al Rayne Civic Center in Louisiana. Tsoloyeva ha rifiutato di salire sulla bilancia durante il peso di ieri.
Selina Barrios è una delle donne combattenti più evitate negli Stati Uniti e ora in Kazakistan. Ebony Jones dall'Alabama, Alpha Patricia Lopez dal Messico, e ora Zarina Tsoloyeva dal Kazakistan, tutti firmarono per combattere Selina ma si ritirarono per combatterla all'ultimo minuto. Jones e Lopez non erano spettacoli, mentre Tsoloyeva che viene dalla lontana terra del Kazakistan, si è presentato al peso, ma ha rifiutato di salire sulla bilancia.
“Ero disposto a combattere Zarina Tsoloyeva, il dilettante decorato del Kazakistan, ma si è tirata fuori all'ultimo minuto, come i miei ultimi due avversari.” ha detto Selina Barrios da San Antonio. “È stato molto difficile convincere gli avversari a combattere contro di me. L'ho sempre detto, Non mi interessa chi mi mettono di fronte, Combatterò chiunque. Ho tanta fiducia nelle mie capacità. Non ho altra scelta che andare avanti, ma sto rispettosamente inviando un messaggio a tutti nelle divisioni leggere e super leggere, Non vado da nessuna parte, alla fine dovrete combattermi tutti.”
Niente farà deragliare Selina poiché rimane positiva e continua a lavorare sodo, cercando quell'opportunità per sfidare il meglio che le divisioni leggere e super leggere hanno da offrire. I gestori di Selina devono ora spostarla subito a sei e otto turni, per vincere e arrivare a una lotta per il campionato mentre acquisisce più esperienza sul ring come professionista.
“Guardando tutti i migliori pesi leggeri e super leggeri, Prevedo che Selina lotterà per un campionato del mondo prima del suo decimo incontro,” ha detto il consigliere Kerry Daigle. “Forse dalla lotta numero sette o otto. La sposteremo in sei e otto rounder che vanno avanti. Sono già in trattative con gli organi sanzionatori per classificarla.”
“Se nessuno vuole combattermi, poi chiamo tutti i nomi dei combattenti nella divisione,” Selina Barrios ha continuato. “Amanda Serrano, Mikaela Mayer, Jessica McCaskill e naturalmente, Katie Taylor, Sono disposto a combattere contro di voi ragazzi in qualsiasi momento, dovunque. Come ho detto, ad un certo punto, dovrete combattermi tutti.”

TWO MORE GREAT ‘ALL CHICAGOFIGHTS ADDED TO NEXT WINDY CITY FIGHT NIGHT ON FRIDAY, Aprile 28 AT Padiglione UIC

A pair of excitingAll Chicagosix-round match-ups have been announced for the undercard at Warriors Boxing Promotions’ il prossimo “Windy City Fight Night” su Venerdì, Aprile 28, at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago.
In an battle of undefeated Windy City featherweights, Giovanni Mioletti (6-0, 1 KO) will take his toughest test to date against comebacking and also undefeated William Hernandez (3-0). And in an intriguing super middleweight six-rounder, Chicago’s undefeated Ruben Schobitz (2-0, 1 KO) will face upset-minded spoiler Cesar Ruiz (2-4, 2 KO).
Both bouts are in support of the eight-round main event featuring undefeated super lightweight RamiroEl LobitoCarrillo (11-0, 7 KO), plus separate six-round brawls for undefeated super featherweight Josh Hernandez (5-0, 4 KO); power-punching lightweight JessicaCasKILLAMcCaskill (3-1, 2 KO) and lightweight Jose Felix Quezada (11-1, 6 KO).
In a very special added attraction, Chicago-based bantamweight prospect Shawn Simpson (4-0, 2 KO) will make his promotional debut under the Warriors banner against Mexico’s Jose Elizondo (2-2) in a six-round match-up.

I’m excited to be facing an undefeated boxer and I’m really pumped to be fighting in front of a large crowd of family and friends,” Mioletti said. “I want to put on a great show for them.
22-year-old Mioletti says he is motivated for the challenge. “I love the level of competition,” lui ha detto, “and I love fighting in my hometown.
I don’t know much about him. I’m just going in blind,” said 26-year-old Hernandez. “Così, I’ll just go in with confidence and if I train hard I always have a chance to win. I’m training hard seven days a week.
Hernandez is returning from a six-year layoff that saw him obtain an accounting degree and start a family. The layoff, dice, non sarà un problema.
I’m ready and coming into this fight stronger than ever before. I’ve been dying to get back in the ring and it’s almost time.
The promising Schobitz, from Chicago via Austria, says training is going well and he’s confident there won’t be another upset by his opponent Cesar Ruiz. In January of this year, Ruiz scored a shock TKO 1 over well-regarded, and then undefeated, Martez McGregor at the UIC Pavilion.
“La formazione sta andando benissimo. I’m working out twice or three times a day and focusing a lot on using my legs and getting my legs strong. I sparred him (Ruiz) before and I saw his last fight. He’s a come-forward guy. He knocked out Martez with a long left hook, but he doesn’t have a lot of resources. And like they say, a good big man always beats a good little man.
Schobitz, who came to the US to train for the Austrian amateur championships, which he won, liked what he saw and returned as a professional, in search of glory.
I spent all my money I had saved up in Austria as a teen to move here to box. Ovviamente, you come here with goals to be world champion and learn as much as you can and gain experience. I want to go as far as I can. Boxing is a sport I love. I love to fight more than anything else.

26-year-old Ramiro Carrillo has been very impressive in his undefeated 11-fight run as a professional, finora. Carrillo was born in Mexico was a heavily decorated amateur, andando 215-14. He was a four-time Chicago Golden Gloves Champion and a two-time National Silver Gloves Champion. Carrillo is an aggressive boxer/brawler who loves to go to the body. So much so that a high percentage of his professional knockouts have come from body shots.

22-year-old Quezada is of half-Mexican and half-Filipino descent and an enormous fan-favorite locally. A heavily decorated amateur boxer, Quezada ran off 11 straight victories before falling short in his last fight. Determined to come back better than ever, Quezada is returning to home turf of the UIC Pavilion where he has had 9 della sua 12 combattimenti.

A Physical Education and Exercise Science junior at Chicago’s De Paul University 21-year-old Josh Hernandez had just over 50 fights and in 2014, won the Power Gloves and Chicago Golden Gloves, where he was named Best Male Boxer of the tournament. He is managed and trained by his father, former middleweight contender and fan favorite “macho” Miguel Hernandez.

Originally from St. Louis, now living in Chicago Jessica McCaskill trains under well-known Windy City boxing figure Rick Ramos. The 32-year-old says she started off in boxing as a crude slugger, relying solely on her amazing natural strength. But nearly three years of working with Ramos has improved her skills dramatically. McCaskill is the first woman ever signed to a promotional agreement with Warriors Boxing, and deservedly so. Her exciting fighting style has already made her a crowd favorite.

I am happy to be back at one of our favorite venues, presenting another terrific Windy City Fight Night,” ha detto Leon Margules, Presidente Warriors Boxing. “Every show we’ve done since reviving this great series has been bigger than the previous one. Thank you to the fans in Chicago for responding with such enthusiasm. Chicago is a great fight town.
