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

Сәуір 15, 2020 FNU47 Пікір қалдыру

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. (Сәуір 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. Одан басқа, 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. Егер 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:

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:

**RENO, Nev. (Мамыр 9, 2019**) — Boxing’s preeminent action superhero, Оскар Valdez, will make the sixth defense of his WBO featherweight world title Saturday, Маусым 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.

Gabriel Flores Jr. (13-0, 6 КО), fresh off his third-round knockout over Eduardo Pereira Reis in front of more than 10,000 fans in his hometown of Stockton, Калифорния, 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 мен $43 (including facility fees) are on sale now and can be purchased via Ticketmaster.com or in person at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa gift shop.

“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 КО), 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, Техас, to knock out then-unbeaten Italian challenger Carmine Tommasone in the seventh round.

The 24-year-old Sanchez (14-0, 7 КО) 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, Панама. 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, Техас, 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 КО), 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., Вячеслав 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 12^ші және қорытынды дөңгелек.

Тығыздағыштар (22-2, 16 КО), a former linebacker for Alabama A&M University, traded in his cleats for trunks and turned pro after a five-fight amateur career. Ол 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. Үмітпен, 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. “Қазір, Мен 100 percent healthy. Бұл менің уақыт. Barrera had his time. Мен өзімді жақсы сезінемін. 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. Маусымда 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, (Қараша 17, 2018) – Негізгі іс-шара “FFC 34” ұмытылмас кикбоксинг титулдық жекпе-жегін ұсынды, ол бес чемпионаттың барлық кезеңдерінде тоқтаусыз қимылдармен толықты.

Тек ән айту (36-6-1) Жеңіл салмақтағы кикбоксинг бойынша FFC титулын ойын қарсыласын жеңіп алды, Бруно Газани (60-7-0), көпшілік дауыспен (47-47, 47-47, 46-48).

Жарнама ретінде, осы екі жауынгер (Газани және Петье) өте қызықты басты іс-шарада аяқтан-аяққа барды, мұнда көпшіліктің көңілінен шығатын оқиғалар мен әсерлі сәттер аз болған жоқ. Газани алға шығып, түннің көп бөлігін басқан, өзінің мықты бокс шеберлігін өзінің пайдасына пайдалану. Petje жоғары тізе мен дененің қаһарлы соққыларына қарсы тұра алды, бұл сайып келгенде көпшіліктің шешімін жеңіп шықты. Газани Петжені бесінші раундта құлатқан сияқты көрінді, бірақ сайып келгенде, оны сырғанау деп санады.

Түнгі негізгі іс-шара, ММА-да екі ауыр салмақтағы үш турда тұрған және соққылармен ерекшеленетін тағы бір соғыс болды. Тони “Hulk” Джонсон (12-4-1) жеңіліске D.J. “Да қорғалған” Линдерман (21-15-0) бірауызды шешімімен (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) онда абсолютті слугфест болды. Линдерман жекпе-жектің басында оң қанатының үстінен үлкен кесінді алып, үнемі қан ағымымен бетіне қарай ағып жатты, ол әлі де қалтада тұрып Джонсонмен сауда жасауды шешті.

Кевин “Найзағай” Джонсон (6-1-0) қашықтықты барды Исаак Луна (3-1-0) Супер жеңіл салмақтағы жекпе-жегінде. Бірыңғай шешіммен жеңіп алынған кілттер (59-55, 58-56, 59-55) Луна алға ұмтылып, Джонсонды түні бойы айналысуға мәжбүр еткен қызықты шайқаста. Джонсон жақсы қарсы тұрды және шешім қабылдау үшін нақты комбинацияларды қолдана алды.

Кикбоксингтің салмақ өлшеу матчында, Мелетис “Бастығырылу” Какубавас (33-7-0) ұсталды Джермейн “СӨЗ ЕМЕС.” Thicket (24-7-0) үш раундтық жекпе-жектің екінші раундының елу екі екінші белгісінде Сото басынан жоғары оң жақтан соққымен. Сото кенептен аяғынан тұрғаннан кейін ұрыс тоқтатылды, нәтижесінде ККоубавас техникалық нокаутпен жеңіске жетті.

Түн ауыр салмақтағы Зак Кавендерден басталды (1-0-0) ММА-да өзінің алғашқы дебютін бірінші турда Мариус Кантонерді жеңген кезде жеңді (0-2-0). Кавендердің жері мен фунты кемелділікке дейін жұмыс істеді, өйткені Кантонерудың бас жағында бірнеше жұдырық болды, бұл тоқтап қалды 2:30 бірінші раундтың белгісі.
