Keith “Dusøren” Hunter restitueret fra håndskade Klar til at møde topkonkurrenter

Efterlad en kommentar
LAS VEGAS, NV (Maj 15, 2020) - Prince Ranch Boxing's ubesejret super let udfordrer, Keith “Dusøren” Jæger (12-0, 7 KOS), er kommet sig fuldt ud efter en håndskade, han fik i sin sidste kamp med Sanjarbek Rakhmanov (12-3-1, 6 KOS), en kamp på 10 runder, der havde overskriften på ShoBox tilbage i februar i år.


Jæger, en indfødt i Las Vegas, er ivrig efter at møde alle topudfordrer, når boksningen vender tilbage. Superletvægteren er i øjeblikket rangeret #13 af WBA, hvilket betyder, at hans skud i toppen af ​​divisionen snart kommer.

“Jeg er klar til at møde de bedste i divisionen, og jeg føler mig endnu bedre, da min hånd er helt helet med denne fri,” forklarede Hunter, som er klar til at bevise sig selv igen. “Jeg skulle kæmpe Shonjahon Ergashev og Malik Hawkins, så jeg vil gerne bekæmpe dem først, men ærligt, en kamp med nogen af ​​verdensmestrene er en udfordring, jeg er klar til nu. Jeg er villig og klar til at møde det bedste!”

Jæger, der ledes af Greg Hannley, bliver ved med at være klar, mens han afventer et telefonopkald om, at boksningen er tilbage.


“Keith Hunter er klar til sit skud mod de bedste i divisionen,” sagde lederen Greg Hannley, CEO for Prins Ranch Boksning. “Keith har besejret to kæmpere underskrevet af Mayweather Promotions i sine seneste tre på hinanden følgende kampe. Han får national opmærksomhed, og hans placering i WBA bringer ham tættere på et verdensmesterskab. Nu er det Keith Hunters tid.”

“Jeg ved bare, at jeg er begavet og ønsker at vinde en verdenstitel for at fremme min fars arv,” Hunter fortsatte. “Jeg er så fokuseret, Jeg vil bare bringe god underholdning til folk, der har brug for ting at lave, og hvis jeg kan kæmpe for en titel, det ville endda være bedre.”


Keith Hunter er forfremmet af Greg Cohen, grundlægger, og administrerende direktør for Greg Cohen Promotions.

CONTENDERS CLOTHING LAUNCHES FIGHTING FOR FIGHTERS FUND – ALL PROCEEDS TO GO DIRECTLY TO PROFESSIONAL FIGHTERS AFFECTED BY THE COVID-19 CRISIS!

Efterlad en kommentar
FIGHTERS CAN SIGN UP NOW FOR A DIRECT PAYMENT SENT OUT FIRST WEEK OF MAY ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE NEW’GO THE SOCAL DISTANCE’ FUNDRAISER T-SHIRT& 10% OF SALES AT CONTENDERSCLOTHING.COM TO GO TO FUND
Las Vegas, NV. (April 13, 2020): Contenders Clothing is proud to announce the creation of the Fighting for Fighters Fund, a new program that will put money directly, and immediately, into the hands of professional fighters affected by the current Covid-19 crisis.

With combat sports across the United States being suspended indefinitely, many fighters who earn a living competing professionally are self-employed contractors leaving them out of work and not eligible for state unemployment. While there is money earmarked for contract workers under the Cares Act, funds have been hard to, if not impossible, to access, leaving many working class fighters in dire need of assistance.

“While some well-known apparel companies are donating to large and mostly worldwide health organizations, we’ve yet to see any company directly help fighters,” said Contenders Chief Executive Officer, Jonathan Snyder.

“We have been embraced by professional fighters of all levels who have worn our boxer briefs and t-shirts at weigh ins and we truly consider anyone who wears us as part of our family. They’ve had our back and now it’s time to have theirs.”

Funding for Fighting for Fighters will come from the sales of an exclusive, ‘Go The Social Distance’ t-shirt created specifically as a fundraiser for the program. Desuden, Contenders Clothing is giving 10% of every single sale throughout the entire month of April at www.contendersclothing.com directly into the fund.

Payments will go out the first week of May and will be divided equally from the overall amount Fighting for Fighters raises between all eligible fighters.

“We’ve come to find that fighters are special people in and out of the ring and not enough people understand their sacrifice. Hvis Fighting for Fighters can literally buy groceries for a fighters’ family for a week or pay a utility bill at a time when they desperately need it, then we will consider it a success.”

If you are an active professional fighter based in the United States whose income has been affected by the Covid-19 crisis please sign up at:
https://contendersclothing.com/pages/contenders-fighting-for-fighters-fund

If you’d like to purchase the Go the Social Distance t-shirt and have all proceeds go to the Fighting for Fighters Fund, please head to:

Co-promoveret med Joey Gilbert Promotions

Event streaming live og udelukkende på UFC FIGHT PASS



LAS VEGAS (September 16, 2019) – The next wave of Reno boxers will continue its rich boxing tradition October 25 på “RJJ Boksning på UFC FIGHT PASS®,” co-promoted by Joey Gilbert Promotions in association with Silver Legacy Resort Casino at THE ROW in Reno, Nevada.

The event will be streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS, verdens førende digitale abonnementstjeneste til kampsport, begyndende ved 10 p.m. OG / 7 p.m. PT, from inside the Grande Exposition Hall at Silver Legacy.

Organized boxing was held during the early 1880’s in small mining towns in the Northwest section of Nevada, professional boxing matches were conducted there later that century.

Hvornår President William Taft declined Richard’s offer to referee, Richards became the third man in the ring. Boxing stars including Jake Kilrain, Tommy Burns, og Abe Attell were introduced to the reported crowd of 16,528.

Richard first brought another Hall of Fame heavyweight champion, Jack Dempsey, to Reno in 1915 for his ninth pro fight, when Dempsey stopped Emmanuel Campbell in the fourth round at Airdrome Arena. To fight, Dempsey had to “ride the rails” from Utah to Reno, stored away on a train with hobos. Dempsey returned three years later to knockoutJack Moran in the opening round at Moana Spring Arena.

Dempsey may have been involved in unsanctioned fights in Reno as well. Desperate for money during the early part of his boxing career, Dempsey is infamous for walking into saloons and saying, “I can’t sing, and I can’t dance, but I can lick any SOB in the house.”

I 1982 på HBO, future Hall of Famer “Sukker” Ray Leonard successfully defended his World Boxing Council (WBC) and World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight World titles at Centennial Coliseum, banke ud Bruce Finch in round three.

Reno-based Gilbert’s first three (2001-2003) and last three (2010) pro fights were held in Reno, where he had a 7-2 (6 KOS) pro record.

Gilbert commented, “Having fought as both an amateur and a professional at these same properties; THE ROW, Eldorado, Silver Legacy, and Circus Circus, which are like a second home to me and all Nevada boxing alumni, it’s really an honor to bring boxing and combat sports back to Northern Nevada, a true fight town, and to provide world class entertainment and an incredible digital production through Roy Jones JR Boxing and UFC FIGHT PASSs, in a partnership with the very casinos and environment that helped make me who I am today; I couldn’t be more delighted to be a part of this opportunity with Eldorado Resorts and UFC Fight Pass through Roy Jones Jr Promotions. I’m looking forward to a prosperous partnership with everyone involved, including the local community and all fight fans in the area.”

Hall of Fame referee Mills Lane was an adopted son of Reno, uden tvivl Nej. 1 referee in the world of boxing, during his high-profile stretch of activity.

Reno has also hosted major amateur boxing events like the 2016 NCBA (college) Western Regional Championships at the Eldorado Hotel and USA Boxing’s 2018 Western Elite Qualifier and Regional Open. Reno will host the 2020 Western Elite Qualifier & Regional Open, Marts 21-28, 2020.

Undefeated super lightweight prospect Kendo “Tremendo” Castaneda (16-0, 7 KOS), kæmper ud af San Antonio, faces Estonia-native Martyniouk-staten (20-2, 6 KOS), der bor i Belmont, California, in the eight-round main event on Oct. 25th.

The co-featured event pits undefeated Sacramento cruiserweight Blake McKernan (10-0, 2 KOS) mod Francisco Rivas (15-2, 5 KOS), Golf, i en otte-round Bout.

Co-promoveret med Joey Gilbert Promotions

Event streaming live og udelukkende på UFC FIGHT PASS

LAS VEGAS (September 9, 2019) – Ubesejret super letvægts-prospektKendo "Tremendo" Castaneda planlægger at lave nogle tidlige tricks eller behandlinger i oktober 25th, når han overskrifter endnu en udgave af "RJJ Boxing på UFC FIGHT PASS®,” co-promoveret af Joey Gilbert Promotions i samarbejde med Silver Legacy Resort Casino på THE ROW i Reno, Nevada.

Den okt. 25th show i Reno vil blive streamet live og eksklusivt på UFC FIGHT PASS, verdens førende digitale abonnementstjeneste til kampsport, begyndende ved 10 p.m. OG / 7 p.m. PT, indefra Grande Exposition Hall klSilver Legacy.

Den 25-årige Castaneda (16-0, 7 KOS), kæmper ud af San Antonio, Texas, er en stigende stjerne og regerende North American Boxing Association (Også) super letvægts mester. Hans sidste kamp var en imponerende 10-runders sejr med enstemmig afgørelse over farlig knockout-kunstner Eudy Bernardo (24-3) marts sidste år.

"En imponerende sejr på UFC FIGHT PASS betyder alt for mig og min karriere,” sagde den personable Castaneda, som vil kæmpe uden for sit hjemland Texas for kun tredje gang som professionel. "At komme tilbage i ringen er bare endnu en date for mig. Kom oktober 25th, folket venter på en 'Enorm' spænding, fordi jeg vil portrættere Michael Myers på en klassisk Halloween Night of Boxing."

Castaneda havde ca 120 amatør kampe, fremhævet af hans guldmedaljevindende præstation på 2018 Ringside verdensmesterskaber. Han var også to gange San Antonio og Texas State Golden Gloves mester (201102012), tabte begge gange ved Golden Gloves National Championships til den endelige mester.

På 18, Castaneda besluttede, at han havde fået nok af amatørbokser, og han blev professionel, hovedsagelig fordi hans stil er meget bedre egnet til de professionelle rækker.

Castaneda vil stå over for den hårdeste prøve i sin unge karriere, Estland-indfødtMartyniouk-staten (20-2, 6 KOS), der kæmper ud af Belmont, California, hovedbegivenheden.

Sullivan Barrera and Michael Seals to clash in 10-round light heavyweight co-feature

LIVE on ESPN and ESPN Deportes at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT

Billetter I salg nu



RENO, Nev. (Maj 9, 2019) — Boxing’s preeminent action superhero, Oscar Valdez, will make the sixth defense of his WBO featherweight world title Saturday, Juni 8 against the upset-minded Jason “El Alacrancito” Sanchez at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center.

Valdez-Sanchez and the 10-round light heavyweight showdown between title-hungry contenders Sullivan Barrera and Michael Seals will be televised live on ESPN and ESPN Deportes at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT. Undercard bouts vil streame live på ESPN +, den førende multisport-streamingtjeneste, begynder ved 6:30 p.m. OG / 3:30 p.m. PT. Gabriel Flores Jr. (13-0, 6 KOS), fresh off his third-round knockout over Eduardo Pereira Reis in front of more than 10,000 fans in his hometown of Stockton, California, will see action on the undercard.

Promoted by Top Rank, in association with Let’s Get It On Promotions and Atlantis Casino Resort Spa, tickets for this world championship event priced at $103, $68 og $43 (including facility fees) er til salg nu og kan købes via Ticketmaster.com eller personligt i gavebutikken Atlantis Casino Resort Spa.

“Jason Sanchez is the real ‘Cinderella Man,’” said Top Rank chairman Bob Arum. “He is young, hungry and capable of pulling off a major upset. It should be an exciting battle.”

“I’m excited to be back in the ring for the sixth defense of my world title. I know there is a big target on my back because I’m the champion, but nobody is going to take this title away from me,” Valdez said. “This will be my second fight training with Eddy Reynoso. Training with Eddy, I feel the best I’ve ever felt. I felt great in the ring during my first fight with Eddy in my corner. I know that I will look even better this time out. The fans in Reno and watching on ESPN and ESPN Deportes can expect a great showing from me on June 8.”

“I am truly honored and blessed to have an opportunity like this,” Sanchez said. “Coming from Albuquerque, New Mexico, I knew I had to work extra hard to be noticed and to get where I’m at right now. I will be bringing this belt home to Albuquerque, to my family, my supporters, and most of all, my late brother Alan Sanchez. I believe he guided me down this road and that my journey is only beginning.”

Valdez (25-0, 20 KOS), Mexico’s first two-time Olympian, has thrilled boxing fans with his go-for-broke style. He won the WBO featherweight title in July 2016 and proved his mettle with a trio of 12-round bloodbaths against Miguel Marriaga, Genesis Servania and Scott Quigg in consecutive bouts. Valdez outlasted an over-the-weight Quigg last March by unanimous decision despite fighting more than half the bout with a severely broken jaw. Following the Quigg bout, Valdez took nearly a year off, returning Feb. 2 in Frisco, Texas, to knock out then-unbeaten Italian challenger Carmine Tommasone in the seventh round.

The 24-year-old Sanchez (14-0, 7 KOS) enters this championship fight as one of the featherweight division’s fastest-rising young guns. Last October, he stunned then-unbeaten Jean Carlos Rivera via unanimous decision in Panama City, Panama. Following the Rivera victory, Sanchez signed a long-term promotional contract with Top Rank. He impressed in his Top Rank debut Feb. 2 in Frisco, Texas, knocking out Daniel Olea in the second round. Sanchez hopes to become only the fifth men’s boxer from New Mexico to win a world title.

Barrera (22-2, 14 KOS), a former Cuban amateur standout, defected to the United States in 2009 and turned pro later that year. The Miami-based bruiser won the first 17 bouts of his career before dropping a decision to pound-for-pound great Andre Ward. A perennial contender, Barrera holds victories over Joe Smith Jr., Vyacheslav Shabranskyy, Karo Murat and former super middleweight world champion Jeff Lacy. He challenged Dmitry Bivol for a light heavyweight world title last year and fought valiantly before being stopped in the 12th og sidste runde.

Sæler (22-2, 16 KOS), a former linebacker for Alabama A&M University, traded in his cleats for trunks and turned pro after a five-fight amateur career. Han var 19-0 when he clashed with Edwin Rodriguez in November 2015. In a seesaw battle that included five knockdowns, Rodriguez knocked out Seals in the third round of a Fight of the Year contender. Seals is 3-1 since the Rodriguez battle, the lone loss coming via disqualification after he hit his opponent while he was on the ground. The winner of this can’t-miss action fight will be in line for a potential world title opportunity.

“I am very excited to have signed with Top Rank, a world-class organization with the best light heavyweights in the world,” Barrera said. “I am excited about the future, but the first step is to handle business June 8 and then I can look forward to a shot at a world title. My ultimate goal is Sergey Kovalev. I’ve been chasing him my whole career. Forhåbentlig, we can finally fight this year.”

“This means everything to me. I had a great opportunity with Edwin Rodriguez, but I went into that fight with a torn rotator cuff. I was basically fighting with just my right hand,” Seals said. “Nu, Jeg er 100 percent healthy. Dette er min tid. Barrera had his time. Jeg har det godt. I feel sharp. I feel young. I have sacrificed so much and have had a lot of time to reflect on the decisions I’ve made and all of the hardships I’ve gone through. Juni 8, I’m going to unleash all of my frustration on Barrera. I don’t want to take anything away from Barrera. He’s a world-class fighter, but I am as well.”

Las Vegas, NV, (November 17, 2018) – The Main Event of “FFC 34” featured an unforgettable Kickboxing title bout that was filled with non-stop action for all five championship rounds.

 

Samo Petje (36-6-1) retained his FFC Lightweight Kickboxing Title by defeating a very game challenger, Bruno Gazani (60-7-0), by majority draw (47-47, 47-47, 46-48).

 

 

 

As advertised, these two warriors (Gazani and Petje) went toe-to-toe in a very entertaining Main Event that had no shortage of crowd-pleasing highlights and thrilling moments. Gazani came forward and pressed the action for most of the night, using his solid boxing skills to his advantage. Petje was able to counter with high knees and vicious body kicks that ultimately led to the majority decision victory. It looked as if Gazani had knocked Petje down in the fifth round but it was ultimately ruled as a slip.

 

 

 

The night’s Co-Main Event, was another war that featured two MMA Heavyweights standing and striking for three straight rounds. Tony “Hulk” Johnson (12-4-1) besejret D.J. “Da Protégé” Linderman (21-15-0) ved enstemmig afgørelse (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) in what was an absolute slugfest. Linderman suffered a large cut above his right eye early on in the fight and despite the constant stream of blood running down his face, he still decided to stand in the pocket and trade blows with Johnson.

 

Kevin “Thunderstorm” Johnson (6-1-0) went the distance with Isaac Luna (3-1-0) in their Super Lightweight Boxing bout. Keys won by unanimous decision (59-55, 58-56, 59-55) in an exciting fight where Luna kept coming forward and forcing Johnson to engage all night long. Johnson countered well and was able to use crisp combinations to get the decision.

 

 

 

In a Kickboxing Catchweight matchup, Meletis “Mareridt” Kakoubavas (33-7-0) caught Jermaine “J.J.” Thicket (24-7-0) with a high right kick to the side of Soto’s head at the fifty-two second mark of round two of their three round fight. The fight was stopped after Soto rose to his feet from the canvas, resulting in a TKO victory for Kakoubavas.

 

 

 

The night began with Heavyweight Zac Cavender (1-0-0) winning his professional MMA debut with a first round TKO victory over Marius Cantoneru (0-2-0). Cavender’s ground and pound worked to perfection as a series of fists to the side of Cantoneru’s head caused the stoppage at the 2:30 mark of round one.
