European Super Featherweight Champion Samir Ziani calls out Tevin Farmer: “Farmer has chickened out” of WBC Eliminator

PARIS, Prantsusmaa (Aprill 18, 2021) – European Super Featherweight Champion Samir Ziani (32-3-1, 7 Kos) has called out Tevin “American Idol” Farmer (30-5-1, 6 Kos), former International Boxing Federation World Super Featherweight Champion, to fight June 5th for the WBC Silver belt in a World Boxing Council (WBC) kõrvaldamine võitlus. The winner would position himself for a title fight against WBC World champion Oscar Valdez.

The battle of left-handed super featherweights would be on the June 5th Triller pay-per-view card in Florida, headlined by undefeated World lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez (16-0) vs. George Kambosos, Jr. (19-0), supported by an exhibition fight between 4-time World heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield ja Mike Tysonconqueror Kevin McBride.

According to Ziani’s manager Gary Hyde, was offered the WBC eliminator against Farmer and the Frenchman immediately accepted, while all has been quiet from Farmer.

“”I was excited to fight Farmer on a great Triller show,” Ziani said, “especially because it is my dream to win a World title in the United States. “I am surprised to hear that Farmer has chickened out of our fight, but I suppose je knows his boxing is slipping downwards.

“I want you, Farmer! Accept the fight and be a real warrior. Don’t run away from me. I want to box in the capital of boxing, the United States, to show American fans what I can do. They say you’re a technician, I will show you that I am a true warrior. The ring is for real men with the ambition to beat the best, not box the weakest, nii, let’s give true value and pay respect to our noble art of boxing.”

Ranked No. 11 poolt WBC, samuti nr. 9 in the International Boxing Federation (IBF), the 30-year-old Ziani is the reigning EBU European champion, riding a 10-fight win streak. Oma viimases võitluses (Seitse. 5, 2020) and second title defense, Ziani dropped a bloody Alex Dilmaghian (19-1-1) three times en route to a 12th round win by technical knockout with 9-seconds left in what was a Fight of the Year candidate.

Ziani’s last loss was 4 ½ years ago to World title challenger and fellow Frenchman,Guillaume Frenois (41-1), by a razor-thin margin, 115-113 kolm korda, Pariisis. Varem oma karjääri, Ziani also suffered a disputed 10-round loss by decision (97-93, 96-94, 96-94) in Denmark to current IBF World Lightweight Champion Richard Commey (18-0) sisse 2014.

“Ziani is an all-action fighter with an enormous work rate,” the Ireland-based Hyde added. “It would be a tantalizing match between two talented southpaws with the winner going on to fight for the WBC World title.”

The president of NoWhere2Hyde Management, Hyde has managed numerous world-class boxers during his career including world champions Guillermo Rigondeaux,Youri Kalenga ja Simpiwe Vetyeaka.

Undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz No longer best kept secret after Tyson-Jones, Jr. PPV show performance

WORCESTER, Mass. (Detsember 14, 2020) – Prior to his sensational performance on the recent Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. maksa-vaatamise-üritus, undefeated lightweight prospectJamaine “The Technician” Ortiz was boxing’s best kept secret. No more, kuigi, as Ortiz firmly established himself as a rising star in front of countless fans among the 1.6 million PPV buys.

Ortiz flew from Boston to Los Angeles on Thanksgiving. He was driven to his hotel, where he immediately saw Jones, checked his weight, and walked to Staples Center. “I was comfortable from the start,” said the young fighter who was fighting for the first time as a professional outside of New England. “I was there to get the job done. I was on a mission. I walk to see the Staples Center and that was cool. I later took my run around the Staples Center and there were a lot of statues. It was beautiful. It was cool seeing the Lakers locker-room.”

The 24-year-old Ortiz (14-0, 8 Kos), the reigning World Boxing Youth World champion, koputasin väljaSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 Kos) with a bruising body attack, hurting his opponent in the sixth round, and closing the show in spectacular fashion in the seventh for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (USA-s) Silver lightweight title. Segawa had never been stopped before as a professional.

Ortiz displayed his overall arsenal: stiff jab, lightning quick hands and feet, switching back and forth effortlessly from orthodox to southpaw stances, punishing hooks up and down, and the most lethal body shots seen from a New Englander since“Irish” Micky Ward.   

“I was calm and cool before the fight,” Ortiz added. “I like to go into a fight, vaimselt, like it was a sparring session and I always do good. I started out in an orthodox stance, established my jab and used it a lot. I think I should have used it more and could have beaten him with it. I listened to my coach (Rocky Gonzalez) and he told me when to switch. Body punching is the No. 1 thing with Rocky. I may not have shown it nearly as much in other fights, but he drills that into me all the time. In the sixth round, he told me to go more to the body, not looking to catch him, and in the seventh I really hurt him to the body.

“Segawa was definitely tough. He had beaten a lot of guys, including a few he upset. Every fight is a stepping-stone and I’m my worst critic. I felt that I could have knocked him out in the second round, but I didn’t want to go off the game plan

Ortiz set-up Segawa from the opening bell, murdis ta maha, and finished the show in grand style as Seqawa was hurt and trapped on the ropes, drawing kudos from highly respected people in the industry such as“Sugar” Ray LeonardTeddy Atlas, and others. Ortiz’ fanbase grew exponentially as boxing fans rushed to sign up to follow Jamaine during and after his breakout fight.

“Once people saw me perform and my style,” Ortiz continued, “they liked me. I could have shown more and thrown more combinations. I really needed to fight in front of the world. I got 5,500 new Instagram flowers that night. I guess, I’m no longer the best kept secret in boxing.”

“Our main goal is to win a world title,” Gonzalez commented. “This was fun and a great opportunity, but the motivation to be world champion is stronger. He dealt with this fight as just another fight, and he followed our game plan.

“His body shots set up the ending. I’m always telling him about Micky Ward’s body shots. You know, boxing is a dance, a salsa. Boxers need to dance; I don’t think they should just be orthodox. They all need to fight the other way and when Jamaine switched stances in the third, he never let up. I’ve trained him hard. I’m always on him and what better way to shut me up than ending it like he did on pay per view?  It was a drop the microphone moment!"

Ortiz is promoted byJimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports) and advised byRichard Shappy jaEddie Imondi

Because of the uncertainty in boxing due to the pandemic, Ortiz’ 2021 schedule is unknown, but he isn’t boxing’s best kept secret anymore, “The Technician” is a bonafide rising star.

Undefeated lightweight prospect JAMAINETHE TECHNICIANORTIZ Hopes to Steal Tyson-Jones Junior Show

WORCESTER, Mass. (November 17, 2020) – Undefeated lightweight prospectJamaine “The Technician” Ortiz (13-0, 7 Kos), the reigning World Boxing Youth World champion, hopes to steal the show on the November 28th Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-view card, presented by Tyson’s Legends Only League, at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The 24-year-old Ortiz, fighting out of Worcester, Massachusetts, will fight on the undercard against Maryland southpawSulaiman Segawa (13-2-1, 4 Kos) in an 8-round bout for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (USA-s) lightweight title.

“I feel good and I’m ready,” Ortiz said. “I’m privileged for this opportunity to fight on the Tyson-Jones card and get good exposure. I hope to steal the show. As a kid, I followed them both, especially Jones. I tried to imitate him”

Like all fighters, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected his career, although he has managed to train, albeit in various gyms and mostly by himself.

“It wasn’t too bad,” added Ortiz, who is an apprentice carpenter. “Not all of the facilities I use to train were open. Early on, I trained by myself, and did a lot of running. We were quarantined until late June, early July, but then I was able to get good sparring. So, üldine, it wasn’t too much of a change.”

Ortiz is promoted byJimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports) and advised byRichard Shappy jaEddie Imondi

“We’re happy our fighter, Jamaine Ortiz, will be getting such great exposure and he will show the world what we already know here in New England,” Shappy commented. “Jamaine ‘The Technician’ Ortiz is a force that will have to be reckoned with.”

One of the best all-time…. 1988 Olympic silver medalist Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe

Colorado Springs, Ring. (Märts 9, 2020) – By any standards, USA-s. Olympian and former unified World heavyweight champion Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe is inarguably one of the all-time greatest boxers, amatöör-ja.

Born and raised in the infamous Brownsville section of Brooklyn, New York, which also produced fellow World heavyweight championsMike Tyson jaShannon Briggs, Bowe started boxing at 13 in the Bedford-Stuyvesant Boxing Association Gym.

“I wanted to do everythingMuhammad Ali did,” Bowe explained why he got into boxing. “He was my idol. I wanted to join the Marines, but I fell in love with boxing and stayed with it. I forgot about the Marines.”

Bowe developed his craft and became an outstanding boxer, koostamine 104-18 amatöör rekord, highlighted by his controversial silver-medal winning performance at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Lõuna-Korea.

A four-time New York Golden Gloves champion, Bowe also captured top honors at the 1986 Junior World Championships, along with a bronze medal at the 1987 Pan American Games, despite fighting in his final match with a fractured hand he hid from his coaches.

Bowe had a rivalry withRobert Salters, with whom he split four matches, but he defeated Salters, 3-2, aastal Ameerika Ühendriike. Box-Offs to qualify for the 1988 USA Boxing Olympic Team. His Olympic teammates includedRoy Jones, Jr., Ray MercerKennedy McKinney jaAndrew Maynard.

Controversary surrounded his Olympic championship fight against future World heavyweight champion, Canadian super heavyweight Lennox Lewis, who returned home with the Olympic gold medal. During his fight with Lewis, Bowe was deducted a point for a “ghost” head butt that never happened, and the referee gave Bowe a pair of disputed standing-eight counts, the last of which resulted in the stoppage of the fight in Lewis’ favor.

“That fight never should have been stopped,” Bowe commented. “I’m still happy about winning a silver medal. I still have it. And then I turned pro. My mother had 13 kids and I wanted to make my mother happy. I wanted to buy her a house. That’s what inspired me to box.”

“Bowe’s success as an amateur and professional has made him a household name amongst USA Boxing Alumni,"ÜtlesChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Director. “His combination of power and skill, along with his legendary battles with other USA Boxing Alumni at the pro ranks, establishes him as one of the greatest fighters that USA Boxing has ever produced.”

With legendary trainerEddie Futch tema nurgas, Bowe became the first truly unified World heavyweight champion, winning the title belt for all four recognized major sanctioning bodies: WBC, WBA, IBF ja WBO.

Bowe retired with an amazing 43-1 (33 Kos) pro record. He had a 5-1 (4 Kos) mark in world title fights, 7-1 (5 Kos) versus past world heavyweight champions such asEvander Holyfield (kaks korda), Pinklon ThomasTony TubbsBruce SeldonMichael Dokes jaHerbie Hyde.

Bowe later avenged his lone pro loss to Holyfield, winning two of three fights with the “Real Deal.”

“I’m very happy with my pro career,” Bowe added. “I beat Holyfield two times and I think it should have been three. I’m not a sore loser, but I was the World heavyweight champion. How did he win that fight? The challenger needs to take the belt from the champion, and he didn’t do that. I thought I won by a point, at worst, maybe it should have been a draw, but I shouldn’t have lost the fight. I did become the first to ever knockout Holyfield. My pro career wasn’t too bad. I kept working hard and became two-time World heavyweight champion.”

Nüüd 51 and living in Maryland, Bowe has some advice for the American boxers trying to qualify for the 2020 Team USA Boxing Olympic Team.

“Just don’t think about it,” stressed Bowe, sounding like a Nike commercial. “Just do it! It worked for me. I showed up and didn’t think about it. And always finish strong.”

Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe, who was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2015, left his mark in amateur and pro boxing. Nobody can ever take that away from the big guy from Brownsville.

Celebrated manager Jackie Kallen predicts unbeaten Mykquan Williams will be her sixth world champion

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Veebruar 12, 2020) – Women’s pioneerJackie Kallenile, the first and arguably most successful female manager in the boxing history, strongly believes unbeaten 21-year-old“Marvelous” Mykquan Williams (15-0-1, 7 Kos) will develop into her sixth world champion.

Williams, fighting out of East Hartford, CT, is the reigning the World Boxing Council (WBC) United States super lightweight champion.

“Mykey has a lot of the qualities as some of the greats in boxing,” Kallen said. “He has some of the flash and speed of fighters like Ray Leonard, and the training habits and dedication of Thomas Hearns ja Mike Tyson. He also has a killer smile and good looks like Hector Camacho, Sr.

“Mykey can go all the way to a world title. He has the speed, attitude, and heart, along with exceptional boxing ability. He has been groomed perfectly by his trainer, Paul Cichon, who has kept Mykey true to his style, working hard to perfect his skill. Mykey trains hard, eats right, and takes the game seriously.”

“Jackie’s very experienced and knowledgeable in boxing,” Williams remarked. “She’s worked with some great, world-class fighters, so she knows the route to take for me to get there.”

Cichon added, “I sought out Jackie as our manager because of her love for the sports, as well as the knowledge of that she brings to the table. She’s very well respected, as she certainly deserves to be.”

Boxing has dramatically changed since Kallen covered her first fight for a Detroit daily newspaper in 1978. The card showcased Hearns andMickey Goodwin.  She became an instant fan and wrote about boxing on a regular basis. A legendary trainer/manager based in DetroitEmanuel Steward, hired her as a publicist for his famed Kronk Gym. Some of her best friends to this day are fighters who she worked with back then. She and Hearns still get together.

After serving as Kronk’s publicist for a decade, Kallen decided to branch out and she started managing fighters. Her first client was heavyweightBobby Hitz, who today is a successful promoter and restaurateur in Chicago. She went on to manage a group of Who’s Who fighters, including world championsJames ToneyBronco McKartTom “Boom Boom” JohnsonPinklon Thomas jaÑoñito Donaire.

Kallen, who overcame sexism in the boxing industry, is best known, võib-olla, for her working relationship with Toney, largely because her life during that period was the inspiration for the popular 2004 movieAgainst the Ropes, starringMeg Ryan as Kallen.

“Boxing today is a totally different animal,” she explained. “That’s not to say it’s better or worse, just different. There used to be more gyms in every city, heavy amateur programs, lots of shows on television networks, and enough local club shows to keep a young fighter active. I had guys back then who fought 8 kuni 10 times a year, mis, muidugi, is almost impossible in 2020.

“There wasn’t as much information available on opponents either. If you were lucky, you could buy a tape. If the fighter hadn’t been on television, kuigi, you were out of luck. There was no Internet, so there was nothing like BoxRec to check opponents’ records. You just had to believe the matchmaker. I had fighters expecting to fight a 14-4 guy who found out at the weigh in that he was actually 16-0.”

Poks, likely the second-oldest profession, has continued to survive, albeit often on a roller-coaster ride.

“Today’s fighters are not as quick to fight each other as they were in the days of Hearns/Hagler/Leonard/Duran,” Kallen noted. “Back then, fighters wanted to really fight to be the best they could be. I see fighters today being more analytical and taking less chances.

“There are also more sanctioning organizations today. Back then it was most the WBA, WBC and IBF. Not to mention there was never one person who managed dozens and dozens of boxers at the same time. The game has definitely changed!"

Kallen, though is still heavily invested in the sport she loves. Confident Williams will be her next world champion, her dream is to be inducted into the Hall of Fame with Toney.

“In 1992,Kallen concluded, “I was named ‘Manager of the Year’ and my love for the sport has never waned. As long as there is talent out there needing guidance, I will stay active.”

tony penecale'i Box Fan Expo Ringside aruanne

Poolt: Tony Penecale

Kiire video sissejuhatus siin:

https://www.facebook.com/TornadoTP/videos/10156003723726436/

Eelmise nädalavahetuse keskkaalu tiitlivõistlustel Canelo Alvarezi ja Daniel Jacobsi vahel oli ka iga-aastane Box Fan Expo, toimus Las Vegase konverentsikeskuses. Välja pandud hämmastavad mälestusesemed ja amatöörpoksi otseülekanne täiendasid tervet rida endisi ja praeguseid maailmameistrivõitlejaid, mida on võimalik kiiresti kohtuda ja tervitada.

Eluaegse poksifännina, oli kahju, et mul oli üritusel aega veeta vaid veidi üle kahe tunni, enne kui suundusin tagasi T-Mobile Arenale alamkaardihoogude alguseks. Aeg, mille sain veeta, oli igati nauditav. Hinnad olid mõistlikud, et vastata neile fistilistele legendidele ning neil on mõni hetk aega vestelda ja fotosid teha. Keskmine $20 -$25 foto-op hind oli oluliselt väiksem kui see, mis oleks ühe ruleti keerutamise korral kasiinos kaduma läinud.

James Toney oli seal ülikonnas, tõestades, et ta suudab isegi ruudulise stiilse väljanägemise. Poisi jaoks, kes on tuntud tülika loomuse poolest, ta oli väga vastutulelik ja mainis, et viibib Philadelphias juunikuises otsesaates 7 ja loodab mind seal näha.

Järgmises boksis oli kuulsuste saali ringhäälinguorganisatsioon Al Berstein, keda mul oli privileeg intervjueerida 2011. aastal. Kui mulle öeldi, et olen imetlenud tema stiilset tööd ja olnud fänn alates tema päevadest Barry Tompkinsiga ESPNi neljapäevaõhtustel võitlustel, ta oli alandlik ja tänulik.

Liin kohtuda Roy Jones Jr-ga. oli pikk, kuid ootamist väärt. Kuigi Royga rääkimiseks oli aega vähe, Sain mainida, kui suur au oli kohtuda oma põlvkonna ühe suurima esinejaga ja kuidas ma istusin temast vaid mõne jala kaugusel, kui ta oli Creed II komplektis.

Kuigi rida legendaarse Sugar Ray Leonardiga kohtumiseks oli erakordselt pikk, oli näha, et ta nautis ennast tõeliselt, selle miljoni dollari suuruse naeratuse välgutamine ja fännidega oma kuulsate rusikatega tõstetud fotooperatsioon. Kahjuks, lühikese ajaga, Mul ei olnud võimalust kohtuda ühe oma kasvava lemmikvõitlejaga. Ma oleksin tahtnud talle nelja-aastaselt fotot näidata, minule kingitud Sugar Ray Leonardi poksikotil eemal kiigutades.

Mõne jala kaugusel oli Sugar Ray üks kuulsamaid konkurente, suur Thomas “Hitman” Hearns. Kuigi Hitman on vananedes näidanud mõningast aeglustumist, ta osutub endiselt imposantseks tegelaseks, kuid ta asendab nüüd selle hirmuäratava sära sooja naeratusega.

Thomas Hearnsiga kohtuma tuli ka IBF-i praegune superkaalu meister Tevin Farmer, kolleeg Philadelphian, kellest mul on olnud võimalus jälgida, kuidas kasvavad a 7-4-1 reisimees poksija a 29-4-1 maailmameister.

Minu visiit ei oleks täielik, kui ei peatuks Vinny Pazi „Pazmaania kuradit“ vaatamas, alati üks mu lemmikkatsevõitlejaid ja karismaatilisi isiksusi. Käepigistuse asemel, ta tervitas mind suure kallistusega ja avaldas pettumust, et mu isa ei osalenud minul näitusel.

Lühikese aja jooksul, oli võimatu kohtuda kõigi sealsete suurte võitlejate, sealhulgas Michael Spinksiga, Riddick Bowe, Errol Spence, Anthony Dirrell, ja Earnie Shavers. Sellega on Cinco de Mayo nädalavahetus, mõnede Mehhiko legendide read ümbritsesid konverentsikeskuse korrust. Mikey Garcia, Marco Antonio Barerra, Erik Morales, ja Juan Manuel Marquez osutusid kõik erakordselt populaarseks. Kuid mitte midagi võrreldes Mehhiko-meelsete rahvahulkade möirgamisega, kui tutvustati suurepärast Julio Cesar Chavezi.

Sellel üritusel osalemine oli unistuse täitumine ja võisin vaid soovida, et mul oleks rohkem aega üritusel veeta. Kõik oli nii professionaalselt tehtud ja kohalviibijad olid üle võimete.

Kiitus Kasti Fan Expo sellise erandliku sündmuse jaoks.

Kuulake meie raadiosaate osa selle nädala algusest Tony lisateabe saamiseks “Tornado” Penecale selle sündmuse kohta.

The thrilling Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury heavyweight blockbuster, a sure-fire Fight of the Year candidate, will air on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Detsember 8 juures 9 Pärastlõunal. ET / PT. The WBC Heavyweight World Championship bout between the 6-foot-7 unbeaten American champion Wilder and 6-foot-9 challenger Fury originally aired live on SHOWTIME PPV® laupäeval, Detsember 1 Staples Center, Los Angeles.

Laupäeval, both Wilder and Fury made strong cases for 2018 Fighter of the Year honors. Wilder faced the two toughest opponents of his career this year including a spectacular knockout win over Cuban slugger Luis Ortiz in a Fight of the Year candidate in March. Fury, the lineal heavyweight champion, returned from a two-and-a-half-year layoff to score two wins in a span of 10 weeks before facing Wilder. Laupäeval, he miraculously withstood a devastating, final-round knockdown that appeared to knock him out cold. Fury rose dramatically and continued to fight until the final bell to cap an effort that will go down as one of the greatest comeback stories in all of sports.

The SHOWTIME presentation of the Wilder vs. Fury, a bout that has been hailed as “…the greatest night for boxing in the U.S. in recent memory,"By Yahoo! Sport, will be immediately followed by the premiere of All Access: WILDER vs. FURY EPILOGUE. The networks’ Emmy Award winning Epiloog reveals the drama of fight night from a unique perspective and introduces viewers to the rarely seen aftermath of world championship prizefighting. All Access: WILDER vs. FURY EPILOGUE goes behind the scenes, into the locker rooms, corners and inner circles as Fury aims to complete a storybook comeback and Wilder looks to continue his reign as the “baddest man on the planet.”
