I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo, che è promosso da Lions Solo Promozioni e Promozioni TGB, are on sale now and can be purchased through Ticketmaster. Charlo vs. Adams is promoted in association with Banner Promotions and The Tournament of Contenders.



Nel Showtime Championship Boxing® evento principale, Charlo will fight in Houston for the first time since 2012, as he looks to further cement his place amongst the middleweight elite against Adams, who shot up the 160-pound rankings by winning the 2018 reboot of The Contender.



Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Hotel ZaZa Museum District in Houston:



Charlo JERMALL



“Me and my brother Jermell have been through so much in boxing. We’ve been doing it since we were eight-years-old. To make it to this world class level and to do it for Houston, it feels great.



“It’s going to be fireworks. I’m coming for the knockout every time. Houston is hot and the heat is going to be there fight night. I’m going to do what I normally do and give the crowd excitement.



“Ronnie Shields has changed me from being a kid to realizing who I am as a man in the sport of boxing. He’s had world champions before me so I know he can judge my progression. He’s going to make sure I stay at this level.



“I’m walking in the ring and I’m handling my business. This is definitely a step up fight for Brandon Adams, but I’m only worried about what I have to do. I’m just going to prepare to be my best. We’re going to both give it our all and I will be victorious.



“Boxing is about experiences and I’m still learning. I’m going to have my ups and downs, because no fighter is perfect. But I will always prepare myself well and that’s why I’m still undefeated. I needed a fight like my last one to get even better.



“I’m going to finish this fight. My goal is to make quick work of Brandon and show him that there are levels to this. You might be a contender, but it’s another thing to be a champion.



“I get a lot of juice from the hometown crowd. Just having my family there alone is what I really need to get the nerves and excitement to where I need them. I’m going to be comfortable and I’m going to stick to my game plan. I’m not here to make mistakes.



“Thus far camp has been great. I feel awesome and I’m well prepared. It’s an amazing feeling to be fighting in my hometown. It’s almost a dream come true to me. To have my own card at this level and on this stage, it shows the support Houston has for me.”



BRANDON ADAMS



“I appreciate the opportunity I have to step into the ring with this man across from me. I’m super excited about it and I can’t wait. These are two top fighters getting in the ring and we’re going to give the fans a show.



“It’s not just what I see in Jermall, it’s what I believe in myself. The combo of working with Dub Huntley and Freddie Roach is perfect. They are both seasoned vets and they teach me something new every day.



“I didn’t expect my road to be easy because it’s never been easy for me. I’m on the road and I understand that. I’m prepared to pack my bags and go wherever I need to, so that I can become what I’m supposed to become. The best man will win on June 29.



“Before The Contender I felt that I didn’t have an opportunity to show how good I am. During the whole series it was about getting back in the ring and shaking off the rust, then showcasing who I am.



“Winning The Contender helped get me here, but I always had confidence and believed in myself since day one. In choosing to accept Charlo’s challenge, I had it in my mind that I belong here.



“It was pressure every time I fought on The Contender. Each round were quality opponents leading up to the final and all of that will prepare me for Charlo. He deserves everything he’s gotten and I respect him as a man, but I’m going to take advantage of this opportunity.



“His team didn’t have to fight me, but they chose to. I appreciate his fans coming out to support him because they’ll see both of us. Hopefully I can win some of them over.”



Ronnie Shields, Trainer di Charlo



“We’ve done a lot of studying of Brandon Adams and he’s a really good fighter. Vincente The Contender is not an easy feat. He’s truly a contender, so we have to make sure we’re working hard every single day.



“We’re not sitting back and waiting for someone to fight us. We have to continue to be busy. You still have to fight hard fights when you’re at the top and that’s what we’re doing. We’re preparing the right way.



“I’m so happy that everybody has come out to support Jermall because he’s been waiting to make his homecoming and this is it. It’s important to see everyone on his side.”



DUB HUNTLEY, Adams’ Trainer



“I hope everybody comes out for this one because it’s going to be a great fight. I’ve been with Brandon for a long time and I know that he’s going to win this fight and put on a memorable performance. Charlo is a great fighter but Brandon has all the tools necessary to come into his hometown and get the victory.”

A NEW MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION WILL BE CROWNED AT NEF 39

PER IL RILASCIO IMMEDIATO: Lewiston, Maine (Maggio 22, 2019) - Combattimenti New England (NEF) sabato torna all'Androscoggin Bank Colisee, Giugno 22 con il suo prossimo evento di arti marziali miste, “NEF 39: TUTTI AMERICANI.” Proprio oggi, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur title fight to the card. Carlton Charles (3-2) dovrà affrontare Jordan Norman (2-1) for the vacant amateur middleweight belt.

Prior to entering the MMA ranks, Carlton Charles made his mark on the football field. He played for Windham High School in Windham, Maine and later led the team to a Class A title as an assistant coach. Charles went on to play fullback for the University of Maine Black Bears. He made his NEF debut in the summer of 2017 with a 23-second knockout win. He would top that performance with a 12-second knockout victory in February 2018. After an unsuccessful attempt at capturing the amateur welterweight title against Duncan Smith (5-3) lo scorso giugno, Charles returned to the cage one month ago in New Hampshire and picked up yet another first-round knockout win.

“Come sempre, I feel blessed and very grateful for the opportunity to fight for the belt,” said Charles.  “I know Jordan has come a long way in this sport and is always training hard and improving. I will be looking to not be caught by one of those big meat hooks that he has for hands. He’s a big powerful guy, and I’m going to be training hard as always to be able to go out and perform to my best ability. I know my coaches will have me ready for this one! have no doubt in my mind the fans will be in for a real treat with this one.

Jordan Norman has indeed come a long way since his NEF debut last June. He lost that evening via first-round knockout, but Norman would come firing back in his next two bouts. He won a split decision over John Assam (0-1) lo scorso autunno, and just last month finished Greg Ishihara (0-1) in the second round. Norman represents the Bad Little Falls Dojo.

“I’m honored for the opportunity to get into the NEF cage and compete for the amateur title against someone like Carlton,” exclaimed Norman. “He and I will put on one hell of a show for the Lewiston crowd. Both of us come to fight and it won’t be any different on June 22nd. I have nothing but respect for him and his team. I’m excited for the task at hand and scrapping it out for the middleweight title.”

The middleweight title fight between Charles and Norman is the fourth already announced for the “NEF 39” card. JoshHook OnHarvey (6-0-1) is scheduled to defend the professional featherweight title against Jordan Downey (5-4), while Nate Boucher (4-3) will square off with Robert Presley (5-4) for the vacant amateur men’s flyweight belt, and undefeated Glory Watson (4-0) takes on Caree Hill (4-1) to crown NEF’s first amateur women’s flyweight champion. Also announced for the card, Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (9-7) faces Lewis Corapi (8-5) in a professional lightweight bout.

“NEF 39: TUTTI AMERICANI,” si svolgerà il Sabato, Giugno 22, 2019 al Androscoggin Bank Colisee a Lewiston, Maine con un tempo di campana di 7 pm. I biglietti sono in vendita ora su www.TheColisee.com.

Troy Isley che esce dalla più grande vittoria, Prepararsi per 2020 Olimpiadi


COLORADO SPRINGS, Giro. (Maggio 6, 2019) – Pesi medi di boxe USA Troy Isley sta arrivando la vittoria più significativa della sua giovane carriera, quando ha sconfitto il 2016 Medaglia d'oro olimpica, Cuba Arlen Lopez, al recente Pan American Games Qualifier a Managua, Nicaragua.


Lopez è stato un barometro positivo per Isley in termini di potenziale 2020 Corsa olimpica. “Finora battere Lopez è la mia più grande vittoria,” Ammise Isley. “Ha vinto una medaglia d'oro alle ultime Olimpiadi. Ho vendicato la mia perdita a lui in 2017. Abbiamo quasi combattuto in The Continentals, ma ha perso nei quarti di finale, e ho perso in semifinale. Potremmo affrontarci di nuovo a luglio ai Giochi Panamericani.”

In 2017, Isley ha conquistato una medaglia d'oro ai Campionati del mondo Elite, che ha segnato la prima volta per un pugile d'élite americano in sei anni. Ha fatto progressi di anno in anno, prendendo il massimo dei voti al 2012 & 2013 Campionati Nazionali PAL, 2014 Olimpiadi nazionali juniores, 2016 & 2017 Campionati Nazionali Elite. Finora quest'anno, oltre a vincere ai Pan American Games Qualifier, ha vinto anche l'oro allo Strandja Tournament in Bulgaria.

Risultati non troppo squallidi per un ragazzo a cui non piaceva davvero la boxe, soprattutto rispetto al calcio, che era il suo sport preferito da bambino.

“Quando sono tornato in palestra mi sono allenato, Alessandria (VA) Club di boxe,” Assistente allenatore della nazionale USA Kay Koromba ricordato,” avevano bisogno di aiuto con un ragazzino, Troy Isley. Ho avuto una semplice conversazione con lui. Ha detto che sarebbe tornato in palestra se fossi stato lì ad allenare. Non sono tornato per un po 'e lui non è tornato. Alla fine ho preso il controllo della palestra quando l'allenatore se n'è andato, e Troy tornò.

“Troy è amico di Keyshawn Davè (USA Boxing's No. 1-leggero valutato). Entrambi vivono in Virginia (Troia ad Alessandria, Keyshawn a Newport) e allenati con me all'Alessandria Boxing Club, quando non viviamo e non ci alleniamo a Colorado Springs. Hanno combattuto da bambini e sono diventati buoni amici. Tutti gli altri pugili qui li guardano.”

“Avevo solo 8 e all'inizio non mi piaceva davvero la boxe,” l'ormai ventenne Isley ha parlato della sua introduzione alla boxe amatoriale. “Ero più interessato agli sport di squadra come il calcio, ma ho rinunciato alla boxe quando ho scelto di gareggiare nei Box-Off. Volevo solo essere un bambino e tu non puoi giocare a boxe. Sono tornato in palestra e ho picchiato tutti. L'allenatore Kay ha detto a mio padre che poteva trasformarmi in un campione nazionale, e questo mi ha dato molta autostima.”

Un pugile pugile auto-descritto, Isley è intelligente, pugile ben parlato con gli occhi sul futuro, al di fuori della boxe, prendendo corsi di business on-line attraverso la DeVry University. “Posso fare tutto,” ha parlato del suo stile di boxe. “Sto lavorando per usare più colpi per essere un pugile migliore a tutto tondo. Il colpo imposta l'offesa. Sto lavorando al mio jab perché puoi vincere i combattimenti con un jab.”

I promotori si stanno allineando per proporre alle loro società di firmare Isley, chi ha un piano definitivo che prevede la realizzazione del file 2020 Squadra olimpica di boxe USA, medaglia in Giappone, e poi diventa professionista.

“Manca solo un anno alle Olimpiadi,” Notò Isley. “Sono vicino a Keyshawn e Shakur(Stevenson, 2016 Medaglia d'argento olimpica e un 11-0 prospettiva pro). Allenarsi con loro rende le cose più facili per tutti noi. Ci guidiamo a vicenda e ci alleniamo contro stili diversi. Raccolgo sempre cose nuove. Ci aiutiamo a vicenda nella formazione, sparring, e solo parlando. Siamo sempre insieme, sia ad Alessandria che a Colorado Springs. Shakur va ancora lì per un buon sparring.

“Shakur ci racconta molto delle sue esperienze alle Olimpiadi e ora come professionista. Io e Keyshawn abbiamo sempre parlato di stare insieme nella squadra olimpica di boxe degli Stati Uniti. Continuiamo a lavorare sodo e rimanere concentrati. È stato il nostro sogno.”

I sogni si avverano ma, primo, Isley si sta preparando per i Giochi Pan-Am e, possibilmente, il suo incontro di gomma con la medaglia d'oro olimpica in carica, Lopez.

Marcos Hernandez Looking to Steal the Show on The Contender Finale

FRESNO, COME (Novembre 8, 2018) – Peso medio Mad Man” Marcos Hernandez (12-1-1, 3 KO) will look to continue his recent success on The Contender finale this Friday at The Forum in Inglewood, California. The 6-round bout will be televised on EPIX, as he takes on fellow cast member Quantavious Cash (10-1, 7 KO).

Hernandez, who hails from Fresno, COME, is the only cast member of The Contender that didn’t lose a single fight on the show, besides Shane Mosley Jr. (11-2, 8 KO) e Brandon Adams (20-2, 13 KO), who will meet in the finals. Nel suo più recente lotta, Hernandez defeated Daniel Valdivia (14-3, 10 KO) in a fight that Valdivia was rocked badly in the last two rounds. Some controversy happened after the bout as Valdivia was originally announced the winner, despite being out boxed and beaten, an official at ringside counted the scores again and realized a judging error and announced Hernandez, the rightful winner.

On top of the bizarre ending, Hernandez was cut in the fight and forced to sit, because of his cut. Valdivia replaced him and got dropped and beaten by Shane Mosely Jr., who now is in the finals.

Hernandez is readier than ever now to make things happen as he wishes to keep his momentum moving forward and face the best in the division.

I have had a great camp with my trainer Henry Ramirez in Riverside, come, and I am ready for Friday night.” Ha detto Hernandez. “I am going to show all of my skills when I step in the ring and I’m going to steal the show.

I have never seen Hernandez train this hard, be this motivated and want to prove a point this badly,” stated his longtime advisor, Peter Lopes. “This is a different ‘Mad Man’.

Isiah Seldon ready for undefeated middleweight Tyler Howard on November 16th in Oklahoma City

Atlantic City, NJ (Novembre 1, 2018)Middleweight Isiah Seldon is getting ready for his biggest fight of his career when he takes on undefeated Tyler Howard in a bout scheduled for eight-round on November 16th at The Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.

 

 

 

L'incontro, which is promoted by Top Rank, will be streamed live on ESPN+.

 

 

 

The main event will see WBO Junior Welterweight champion Maurice Hooker defending against Alex Saucedo.

 

 

 

Seldon (12-1-1, 4 KO) has been training in Atlantic City under the watchful eye of Bill Johnson.

 

 

 

I am looking forward to this great opportunity,” said Seldon. “I have been longing for an opportunity to take on a fighter such as Howard as a win will take my career to the next level.

 

 

 

Team Seldon, has been working diligently with longtime manager Jim Kurtz very excited about the opportunity that Seldon has in front of him.

 

 

 

It doesn’t get any bigger than fighting on a Top Rank show with an explosive main event between Hooker and Saucedo. The staff at Top Rank has been top notch. I am really excited for Isiah to get this opportunity to display his talents on a big stage. Myself and co-manager Joe Thompson are convinced Isiah is ready to shine on November 16th and it can’t get here fast enough,” said Kurtz, who has managed Seldon from day one.

 

 

 

Kurtz also managed Seldon’s father, WBA Heavyweight champion, Bruce Seldon.

 

 

 

Isiah has reunited with his original trainer Bill Johnson and they haven’t skipped a beat. This is the first time Isiah has had a full fledged training camp. We haven’t left any stone unturned in preparation for this fight. Isiah’s conditioning is at a point that I have never seen with him before. He is getting great sparring and his improvement working with Bill in preparation for this fight has been incredible. He is ready to show the world a new and improved Isiah Seldon. He has a large legacy to follow being the son of former WBA Heavyweight Champion Bruce Seldon but Isiah is determined to make his own mark on the sport of boxing.

 

 

 

He has always had power in both hands, scoring knockdown in almost every fight, but now he is learning to remain calm and finish guys instead of getting overly excited and letting them off the hook. He is punching harder than ever before, putting his punches together and his boxing ability has reached a level where he can control the pace of the fight. We have taken it slow with Isiah considering he didn’t have any amateur fights but we are now at the point where he is ready to make his mark on the Middleweight division.

 

 

 

We know Tyler Howard is a good undefeated fighter. He had a good amateur career, comes from a family with a boxing background, and has a solid management team who have done a great job with him. On November 16th we expect a tough fight with some fireworks but we are confident Isiah will emerge victorious and this will lead us to bigger and better opportunities.
