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

FIGHTERS CAN SIGN UP NOW FOR A DIRECT PAYMENT SENT OUT FIRST WEEK OF MAY ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE NEW’GO THE SOCAL DISTANCEFUNDRAISER T-SHIRT& 10% OF SALES AT CONTENDERSCLOTHING.COM TO GO TO FUND
Las Vegas, NV. (Abril 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 Distancet-shirt created specifically as a fundraiser for the program. Além, 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. E se Fighting for Fighters can literally buy groceries for a fightersfamily 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:

Next wave continuing rich Reno boxing history

RJJ Inaugural Boxing & Evento Silver Legacy
Co-promoted with Joey Gilbert Promotions

Transmissão de eventos ao vivo e exclusivamente no UFC FIGHT PASS



LAS VEGAS (Setembro 16, 2019) – The next wave of Reno boxers will continue its rich boxing tradition October 25 em “RJJ Boxe no 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, serviço de subscrição do mundo líder digital para esportes de combate, a partir de 10 p.m. E / 7 p.m. PT, from inside the Grande Exposition Hall at Silver Legacy.

Local boxers such as featherweight Ricardo Lucio Galvan (2-0, 2 KOs) e super leve Wilfred Mariano (1-0, 1 KO) are all slated to fight on the Oct. 25th card against opponents to be determined.

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.

Hall of Fame promotor Tex Richard and legendary heavyweight Jack Johnson first put Reno on the boxing map on July 4, 1910, when World heavyweight champion successfully defending his title against James J. Jeffries, stopping him in the 15th round at what was reportedly the only venue ever built for a single boxing event. Quando President William Taft declined Richard’s offer to referee, Richards became the third man in the ring. Boxing stars including Jake Kilrain, Tommy Burns, e 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 toride the railsfrom 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.

Em 1982 na HBO, futuro Hall da Fama “Açúcar” Ray Leonard successfully defended his World Boxing Council (WBC) and World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight World titles at Centennial Coliseum, nocauteando 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) registro profissional.

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 árbitro Mills Lane was an adopted son of Reno, arguably the No. 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 Qualificatória de elite ocidental & Aberto Regional, Março 21-28, 2020.

Undefeated super lightweight prospect KendoTremendo” Castaneda (16-0, 7 KOs), fighting out of San Antonio, faces Estonia-native Estado de Martyniouk (20-2, 6 KOs), quem mora em belmont, Califórnia, in the eight-round main event on Oct. 25th.

The co-featured event pits undefeated Sacramento cruiserweight Blake McKernan (10-0, 2 KOs) contra Francisco Rivas (15-2, 5 KOs), de México, em um ataque de oito rodada.

Undefeated WIBA World female bantamweight champion Rosalindo Rodriguez (10-0, 2 KOs), de Miami, takes on Las Vegas’ invicto Jamie “O Milagre” Mitchell (5-0-2, 3 KOs) in a six-round non-title fight.

Galvan is matched against Sacramento’s pro-debuting Samir McQueen, while Mariano faces an opponent to be determined.

Also scheduled to fight on the undercard in separate four-round bouts against TBAs are undefeated Las Vegas lightweight Daquan Mays (3-0, 1 KO) and Sacramento lightweight Sergio Vega (2-0, 2 KOs).

Eu sei que há um grande alvo nas minhas costas porque eu sou o campeão, mas ninguém vai tirar esse título de mim,”Valdez disse. “Essa será a minha segunda luta treinando com Eddy Reynoso.

Valdez (25-0, 20 KOs), Primeira Olimpíada do México duas vezes, emocionou os fãs de boxe com seu estilo arriscado. Ele ganhou o título dos penas da WBO em julho 2016 e provou sua coragem com um trio de banhos de sangue de 12 assaltos contra Miguel Marriaga, Genesis Servania e Scott Quigg em lutas consecutivas. Valdez sobreviveu a um Quigg acima do peso em março passado por decisão unânime, apesar de lutar mais da metade da luta com uma mandíbula gravemente quebrada.

Sanchez de 24 anos (14-0, 7 KOs) entra nesta luta pelo campeonato como um dos jovens pistoleiros que mais cresce na divisão do peso-pena.

O bruiser de Miami venceu o primeiro 17 episódios de sua carreira antes de abandonar a decisão do grande peso por peso Andre Ward. Um candidato perene, Barrera tem vitórias sobre Joe Smith Jr., Vyacheslav Shabranskyy, Karo Murat e o ex-campeão mundial dos super-médios Jeff Lacy. Ele desafiou Dmitry Bivol por um título mundial dos meio-pesados ​​no ano passado e lutou bravamente antes de ser parado no 12th e última rodada.

Seals (22-2, 16 KOs), um ex-linebacker do Alabama A&M University, trocou suas chuteiras por calções e se tornou profissional depois de uma carreira amadora de cinco lutas. Ele era 19-0 quando ele entrou em confronto com Edwin Rodriguez em novembro 2015. Em uma batalha gangorra que incluiu cinco knockdowns, Rodriguez nocauteou o Seals na terceira rodada de um competidor do Fight of the Year. Seals é 3-1 desde a batalha de Rodriguez, a derrota solitária veio por desqualificação depois que ele atingiu seu oponente enquanto ele estava no chão. O vencedor desta luta de ação imperdível estará na fila para uma oportunidade potencial de título mundial.

“Estou muito animado por ter assinado com a Top Rank, uma organização de classe mundial com os melhores meio-pesados ​​do mundo,”Barrera disse. “Estou animado com o futuro, mas o primeiro passo é lidar com os negócios de junho 8 e então posso esperar a chance de um título mundial. Meu objetivo final é Sergey Kovalev. Eu tenho perseguido ele durante toda a minha carreira. Esperançosamente, podemos finalmente lutar este ano. ”

“Isso significa tudo para mim. Tive uma grande oportunidade com Edwin Rodriguez, mas eu entrei nessa luta com um manguito rotador rasgado. Eu estava basicamente lutando apenas com minha mão direita,” Seals disse. “Agora, Eu sou 100 por cento saudável. Esta é a minha vez. Barrera teve seu tempo. Eu me sinto bem. Me sinto afiado. Me sinto jovem. Eu sacrifiquei muito e tive muito tempo para refletir sobre as decisões que tomei e todas as dificuldades que passei. No June 8, Vou liberar toda a minha frustração em Barrera. Eu não quero tirar nada de Barrera. Ele é um lutador de classe mundial, mas eu também estou. ”
