Лас-Вегасе (Студзеня 25, 2018) — KO Night Boxing LLC announced it has signed popular Canadian junior welterweight Стыў “The Dragon” Claggett ў эксклюзіўны рэкламны кантракт.

The Las Vegas-based company also has 2016 Olympic bronze medalist and undefeated Wichita flyweight, Ніка Hernandez (3-0), 2 КО), among its growing stable of professional boxers.
The 28-year-old Claggett (26-4-1, 17 КО), fighting out of Calgary, is a fan-favorite because of his aggressive, non-stop style. Since the ultra-aggressive Claggett moved back down one division to junior welterweight, Claggett is a perfect 3-0 (1 KO), including a pair of title-winning 10-round decisions over previously unbeaten opponents,Іў Ulysse, Малодшы. (14-0) за вакантны Міжнароднай федэрацыі бокса (IBF) North American super lightweight title, а таксама Emmanuel Robles (15-0-1) for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) NABA USA super lightweight crown.
“I’m excited to be signed by John Andersen and KO Night Boxing,” Claggett said. “There were no guarantees (without a promoter). I’ve always had the talent but never the structure. I’ll have that now, хоць. It was always difficult making fights with long layoffs, dates falling through, and offers on short notice. I’ve only been able to show a little of what I’m capable. All I’ve ever wanted is a fair shake and this opportunity will allow me to show what I can do. This year is going to be big for me and KO Night Boxing.
“I’m just approaching my prime. I’ve only been working with my trainer, Vlad Goldenstein, for a little more than a year, але я 3-0 with him and have won two belts. Я старая школа знішчальнік, action-packed and who brings the pace. This is a great for me and my boxing career.”
“We’re taking a big step in the right direction by signing Steve,” Claggett’s new promoter Andersen commented. “Я ўсхваляваны. Steve deserves this opportunity and we’re going to deliver for him.
“Steve is an action fighter, always coming forward, and he hasn’t been in a bad fight during the three years I’ve known him. He took a risk but really opened some eyes with his performance against Ulysse. What an accomplishment fighting an undefeated fighter in his backyard. He took a big risk and got a big win. And now he’s beaten the man (Ulysse) who has beaten the man (21-0 Cletus Seldin, WDEC10, Снежні. 16, 2017 на HBO). Steve’s undefeated on this run as a junior welterweight, beating two previously unbeaten opponents, and he deserves more recognition and a shot at a big fight.”
“Steve’s an animal in the squared circle and the farthest thing from it outside the ring,” Claggett’s manager Max Matheny дабаўленай. “He has all the attributes of a champion. His boxing IQ and ability to adapt under pressure makes Claggett a serious challenge. He can beat anybody in the division on any given night. We’ve had a multitude of promotional offers to consider at the end of a strong 2017 and are very excited to align with KO Night Boxing. They are going to give us the opportunities to show the world how good ‘The Dragon’ really is. His signature is turning into an autograph in 2018, mark my words.”
The boxing irony is that Ulysse, not Claggett, is now world ranked. Considering the half-Chinese, half-European Claggett beat Ulysse in his Montreal hometown, Steve proved that he’ll fight anybody, ўсюды, unlike many fighters who make that claim but don’t back it up. “Me and my team aren’t afraid to fight anybody,” he spoke about his most significant fight to date. “Bring it on! I’m willing to fight in hostile territory against an A-side fighter. We don’t pick and choose. Too many fighters pad their records, but that only upsets fans, and delays fights. I’m looking for tough fights to judge how much I’ve grown. I’d love to fight the top guys.
“My fight with Ulysse was my biggest but not best fight. I thought I boxed a little robotic and fell back into some old habits. I’d give myself a B- for that fight. I got the win and put on a great show that was fast paced. Ulysse and Robles box, run and move. I’d like an opponent who comes to me, stays in the pocket, and fights. I know it’ll be a helluva fight.”
Maybe Claggett’s next fight will be on a higher platform, магчыма, against a legitimate fighter’s fighter like Steve.

“KO NIGHT BOXING” RESULTS FROM KANSAS
PALM CITY, Канзас (Верасня 24, 2017) – The name of last night’s “KO Night бокса: Step Up” event certainly was appropriate as 2016 Бронзавы прызёр Алімпійскіх гульняў Ніка Hernandez had to overcome a major obstacle to remain undefeated at Hartman Arena in Palm City, Канзас.
“KO Night бокса: Step Up!” was a presentation of KO Night Boxing LLC., in association with Roc Nation Sports and Hartman Arena, sponsored by Mort’s Cigar Bar, Jimmy Egg and Twister City Harley-Davidson. The action was taped live for future airing on CBS Sports Network.
Вуліца. Louis southpaw Kendrick “Uprising” Latchman outweighed regular flyweight Hernandez by more than 10 pounds when the two fighters entered the ring because Hernandez’ scheduled opponent, Basyzbek Baratov (2-1-2), abruptly pulled out of the fight after the weigh in due to a contractual disagreement. Hernandez weighed in at 113 фунты, Baratov was 112, which was the contracted weight. The Kansas Athletic Commission, аднак, automatically allows one-pound over for all non-title fights. Baratov refused to fight but Latchman agreed to fight at a 125-pound catchweight. Hernandez gained four pounds and the fight was on.
Wichita hero Hernandez was unmoved by the late change, largely due to his standout amateur career, in which his opponents often changed at the last moment. Latchman (1-5-1, 1 KO) is a pro boxer-MMA hybrid fighter who is 6-3 (5 КО) у ММА, including a 55-second stoppage of 14-7-1 Cody Land у ліпені гэтага года.
Latchman buzzed Hernandez in the first round, much to the chagrin of the Hernandez’ loud hometown crowd. The U.S. Olympian displayed a good chin and went on to win a six-round unanimous decision to improve his pro record to 3-0 (2 КО).
“They (his corner and fans) were nervous,” the 21-year-old Hernandez said after the fight, “але я не быў. My coach (father Lewis Hernandez) told me to feint and go in, but I lunged a little too much. Эй, I’m staying in my division (лёгкі вага) before moving up in weight.”
“Nico had to step up, fighting a new opponent on 24-hour notice, along with the difference in their weights,” прамоўтэр John Andersen пракаментаваў. “Everything turned out okay but it wasn’t an easy fight. My palms were a little sweaty in the first round when he got hit hard, but Nico pulled out the win and he’ll be an even better fighter because of this experience. His father said Nico had never been hit like that before. It was a good card and the crowed was really into it.”
KO Night Boxing LLC announced that Hernandez would return Снежні 2 to headline another show at Hartman Arena.
USBA No. 2- rated featherweight Tramaine “The Might Midget” Уільямс (13-0, 5 КО), fighting out of New Haven (Канэктыкут), cruised to his 13й victory without a defeat, taking a one-sided 10-round unanimous decision over Derrick Murray (13-3, 5 КО), у сумесных прыкметах падзеі.
Key West, FL welterweight Armando “Джэнтльмен: Альварэс (17-0, 11 КО) застаўся непераможаным, winning a 10-round unanimous decision against Hungarian champion Gabor “Squirrel” Gorbics (23-8, 14 КО) in a competitive Special Welterweight Attraction. Alvarez is the WBC Latino welterweight title holder.
Undefeated Chinese heavyweight prospect Zhilei “Big Bang” Zhang (18-0, 14 КО), the reigning WBO Oriental champion, needed only 2:28 to stop veteran Byron “Мядзведзь” Polley(30-22-1, 13 КО). Zhang, as well as Williams, are promoted by Roc Nation Sports.
In the most dramatic fight of the night, Los Angeles heavyweight Scott Alexander (13-2-2, 7 КО) rebounded from being decked, as well as a pre-fight cut, to knockout 361-pound Рычард “Silverback” Кармак (15-12-1, 12 КО) у другім туры. Alexander suffered a cut on his shin that resulted from a step breaking as he entered the ring.
Milwaukee junior middleweight Akeem Black (3-1, 1 KO) won three of four rounds on all three judges’ scorecards for a four-round unanimous decision over Marcus Neal (2-2, 2 КО).
Wichita light heavyweight Jeff Strum pitched a shutout in his pro debut against Topeka’s (Канзас) previously unbeaten Chris Ortega (3-1-1), winning all four rounds in impressive fashion.
