PARIS, France (April 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) Boj odprava. 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 in 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, tako, let’s give true value and pay respect to our noble art of boxing.”

Ranked No. 11 ki jih WBC, kot tudi št. 9 in the International Boxing Federation (IBF), the 30-year-old Ziani is the reigning EBU European champion, riding a 10-fight win streak. V svojem najnovejšem boju (Seven. 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 trikrat, v Parizu. Prej v svoji karieri, 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) v 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 in Simpiwe Vetyeaka.

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

Pustite komentar

WORCESTER, Mass. (December 14, 2020) – Prior to his sensational performance on the recent Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-view event, undefeated lightweight prospectJamaine “The Technician” Ortiz was boxing’s best kept secret. No more, čeprav, 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, nokautiralSulaiman 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 (U.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, duševno, 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, mu je pokvaril, 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 Leonard, Teddy 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 inEddie 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 JAMAINE “THE TECHNICIAN” ORTIZ Hopes to Steal Tyson-Jones Junior Show

Pustite komentar

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 (U.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, Skupni, it wasn’t too much of a change.”

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

Pustite komentar

COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Marec 9, 2020) – By any standards, U.S.. Olympian and former unified World heavyweight champion Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe is inarguably one of the all-time greatest boxers, amaterski in profesionalni.

Born and raised in the infamous Brownsville section of Brooklyn, New York, which also produced fellow World heavyweight championsMike Tyson inShannon 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, sestavljanje 104-18 amaterski rekord, highlighted by his controversial silver-medal winning performance at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Južna Koreja.

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, v U.S. Box-Offs to qualify for the 1988 USA Boxing Olympic Team. His Olympic teammates includedRoy Jones, Jr., Ray Mercer, Kennedy McKinney inAndrew 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,"Je dejalChris 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.”

Združenje ameriških bivših boksarjev

Ustvarjen za vse življenje, medsebojno koristni odnosi med ZDA Boxing in njegovimi bivšimi, –boksarice, uradniki, trenerji in ljubitelji boksa — The Alumni Association connects generations of champions, inspiring and giving back to USA Boxing’s future boxing champions, v in iz obroča.

The USA Boxing Alumni Association is open to anyone who has a love for boxing and would like to stay connected with amateur boxing.

To join the Alumni Association, simply register atalumni@usaboxing.org for a $40.00 per year membership fee. New members will receive a T-shirt, keychain and e-wallet.

With legendary trainerEddie Futch v svojem kotu, Bowe became the first truly unified World heavyweight champion, winning the title belt for all four recognized major sanctioning bodies: WBC, WBA, IBF and 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 (dvakrat), Pinklon Thomas, Tony Tubbs, Bruce Seldon, Michael Dokes inHerbie 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.”

Zdaj 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

Pustite komentar

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Februar 12, 2020) – Women’s pioneerJackie Kallen, 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 in 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 Detroit, Emanuel 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 Toney, Bronco McKart, Tom “Boom Boom” Johnson, Pinklon Thomas inNonito Donaire.

Kallen, who overcame sexism in the boxing industry, is best known, morda, for her working relationship with Toney, largely because her life during that period was the inspiration for the popular 2004 movie, Against 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 da 10 times a year, ki, Seveda, 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, čeprav, 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.”

Boks, 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.”

Tukaj je hiter uvod v video:

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

Pretekli konec tedna v obračunu naslova srednje kategorije med Canelom Alvarezom in Danielom Jacobsom je bil tudi letni Box Fan Expo, v Kongresnem centru v Las Vegasu. Izjemne spominke na ogled in amaterska boksarska akcija v živo so dopolnili vrsto preteklih in sedanjih borcev svetovnih prvakov, ki so na voljo za hitro srečanje in pozdrave.

Kot vseživljenjski ljubitelj boksa, škoda je bilo, da sem imel na prireditvi le malo več kot dve uri, preden sem se vrnil v T-Mobile Areno za začetek dvobojev pod kartami. Čas, ki sem ga lahko preživel, je bil popolnoma prijeten. Cene so bile primerne za izpolnitev teh fističnih legend in nekaj trenutkov za pogovor in fotografiranje. Povprečje $20 -$25 cena za foto op je bila bistveno nižja od tiste, ki bi jo izgubili v igralnici v enem samem vrtljaju rulete.

James Toney je bil tam v obleki, kar dokazuje, da lahko celo kariran izgleda elegantno. Za človeka, znanega po nesramni naravi, bil je zelo prijazen in omenil je, da bo junija v Philadelphiji na oddaji v živo 7 in upa, da me bo tam videl.

Naslednja stojnica je bila izdajatelj televizijske hiše Al Berstein, s katerim sem imel privilegij intervjuvati leta 2011. Ko so mi povedali, da občudujem njegovo razkošno delo in da sem oboževalec že od njegovih dni z Barryjem Tompkinsom na ESPN-ovem četrtkovem boju, bil je skromen in hvaležen.

Linija za srečanje z Royem Jonesom ml. je bil dolg, a vreden čakanja. Medtem ko je bil čas za pogovor z Royem kratek, Omenil sem lahko, v kakšno čast mi je bilo spoznati enega največjih izvajalcev svoje generacije in kako sem sedel le nekaj metrov od njega, ko je bil na snemanju Creed II.

Medtem ko je bila linija do legendarnega Sugar Ray Leonarda izjemno dolga, videli ste, da je resnično užival, utripajoč ta milijon dolarjev nasmeh in s svojimi slavnimi fotografi, ki so jih dvignili s pestmi. Na žalost, s časom zmanjkuje, Nisem imel priložnosti srečati enega najljubših borcev, ki je odraščal. Pri štirih letih bi mu rada pokazala fotografijo, zamahnil sem na boksarski vreči Sugar Ray Leonard, ki sem jo dobil.

Nekaj ​​metrov stran je bil eden najbolj znanih tekmecev Sugar Raya, veliki Thomas "Hitman" Hearns. Medtem ko je Hitman pokazal nekaj upočasnitve, ko se je postaral, še vedno se izkaže kot impozantna figura, zdaj pa ta strašljiv odsev nadomešča s toplim nasmehom.

Thomasu Hearnsu je prišel tudi trenutni prvak IBF v super peresni kategoriji Tevin Farmer, kolega Philadelphian, ki sem ga imel priložnost opazovati, kako raste iz 7-4-1 kalfa boksar do 29-4-1 svetovni prvak.

Moj obisk ne bi bil popoln, ne da bi se ustavil, da bi videl "Pazmanskega hudiča" Vinnyja Paza, vedno eden mojih najljubših akcijskih borcev in karizmatičnih osebnosti. Namesto stiska roke, me je pozdravil z velikim objemom in izrazil razočaranje, da se mi oče ni pridružil na razstavi.

V kratkem časovnem okviru, nemogoče je bilo srečati vse tamkajšnje velike borce, vključno z Michaelom Spinksom, Riddick Bowe, Errol Spence, Anthony Dirrell, in Earnie Shavers. Ko je vikend Cinco de Mayo, vrstice za nekatere mehiške legende so se ovile okoli tal kongresnega centra. Mikey Garcia, Marco Antonio Barerra, Erik Morales, in Juan Manuel Marquez sta se izkazala za izjemno priljubljena. A nič v primerjavi z ropotom promehiške množice, ko je bil predstavljen veliki Julio Cesar Chavez.

Udeležba na tem dogodku je bila uresničitev sanj in le želela bi si lahko, da bi imela na tem dogodku več časa. Vse je bilo tako profesionalno opravljeno in navzoči niso bili dovolj ustrežljivi.

Svaka čast Box Fan Expo za tako izjemen dogodek.

Poslušajte našo epizodo radijske oddaje iz prejšnjega tedna za večji vpogled od Tonyja “Tornado” Penecale o tem dogodku.

The thrilling Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury heavyweight blockbuster, a sure-fire Fight of the Year candidate, will air on SHOWTIME this Saturday, December 8 pri 9 p.m. 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® v soboto, December 1 iz Staples Center v Los Angelesu.

V soboto, 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. V soboto, 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,"S Yahoo! Šport, will be immediately followed by the premiere of ALL ACCESS: WILDER vs. FURY EPILOGUE. The networks’ Emmy Award winning Epilog 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.”
