Don King Returns to Ohio to Present WBC Cruiserweight Champion Fight on Saturday, 一月. 29 Pitting Makabu & Mchunu

Dkp
DEERFIELD BEACH, FL (十一月 26, 2021)—Homecoming At Last! The fight for the forgotten people (the homeless, poor, and downtrodden people) will benefit from this championship doubleheader.

The world’s greatest boxing promoter, 唐金, will return to his home state of Ohio on Saturday, 一月. 29, 2022, as he presents another blockbuster for the forgotten people, who won’t be forgotten any more, world championship fight pitting WBC Cruiserweight Champion Ilunga Junior Makabu and the number one challenger, WBC Silver Champion Thabiso Mchunu.

The WBC world championship fight for the love of the people, will be held at the W.D. Packard Music Hall in Warren, OH. In addition to Makabus-Mchunu, a special 10-round heavyweight sensational attraction will pit undefeated Jonathan Guidry (18-0-2, 10 科斯) of Dulac, Louisiana risking his perfect record against Alonzo Butler (34-3-2, 25 科斯) of Chattanooga, TN.

王, who represents Makabu, came to an agreement with Mchunu’s representatives on the 12-round world championship fight, and the winner will advance to fight Mexico’s great champion Canelo Alvarez in the month of May.

Alvarez will be ringside in Warren, OH to see who his next opponent will be.

“This is going to be one action packed WBC world championship fight with a very big fight on the horizon for the winner,“國王說. “They are both warriors and this war for the recognition of the homeless will start the new year in grand style, recognizing the homeless, and helping others.”

Makabu (28-2 同 25 科斯) is from the Democratic Republic of The Congo, defended his championship in his hometown of Kinshasa as he stopped Nigeria’s Olanrewaju Durodola with two solid left hooks in the seventh round last December.

Makabu, who has won his last nine decisions, won the vacant title on Jan. 31, 2020 in winning a unanimous decision against Michael Cieslak.

Thabiso (23-5, 13 科斯), who hails from South Africa and is nicknamed “The Rock”, became the WBC Silver Titlist with a unanimous decision over Denis Lebedev on Dec. 21, 2019. He last defended his title and scored another unanimous victory over Evgeny Tishchenko on March 27, 2021. Thabiso has won his last four fights.

Otha Jones III competing at Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018

Straight outta Toledo….
十月. 6-18 在阿根廷

科羅拉多斯普林斯, 膝部. (十月 4, 2018) Two-time USA National Champion Otha Jones III is heading to Argentina tomorrow to make a statement at the Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires, 十月 6-18 in Parque Polidesportivo Roca.

 

 

 

Jones is from the new home of amateur boxing champions, 托萊多, 俄亥俄, where the 18-year-old Jones is also making a difference in his community, especially after his brother was shot and killed a few weeks ago while he was riding a bike.

 

 

 

Otha first got interested in boxing after watching a YouTube boxing sensation. “I thought that was cool,” light welterweight Jones explained, “so I asked my father to take me to a gym. I soon learned that I was good at it, worked hard, and now I’m heading to the Youth Olympics.

 

 

 

Fighters at all the gyms in Toledo help each other out. (2017 USA Nationals heavyweight champion) Jared Anderson is my best friend. The first year we trained at the same gym, but I never sparred with him (笑), because he’s too big for me. We’re at different gyms now. Six Toledo boxers, five of my teammates, are in the USA Boxing program, including my sister, (次中量級) Oshae瓊斯, who is on the women’s Elite team competing right now in Spain. We all push each other to the limit.

 

 

 

In addition to capturing gold at the last two USA National Championships, he also won top honors at the 2018 Youth Continental Championships, plus a silver medal at the 2018 Emil Jechev Memorial Tournament.

 

 

 

Self-described as an unorthodox boxer-puncher, Jones says he, “Throws punches from all angles. I can box well or sit and fight if I have to.

 

 

 

瓊斯, 誰有一個 267-11 業餘紀錄, has already traveled and competed in Bulgaria, Hungary and Russia. He’s looking forward to experiencing Argentina, where he will live and train for two weeks in an Olympic village atmosphere.

 

 

 

Making it this far to the Youth Olympic, so far, is the highlight of my career,” 他說. “I love traveling to different countries to experience and learn about new cultures. My goal is to fight at the 2020 Olympics in Japan and win a gold medal. I need to improve my skills; punch harder and place my punches better.

 

 

 

After the Olympics, I plan to turn pro. I want to move my family out of the ghetto and get better clothes and meals for everyone.

 

 

 

I own the Soul City Gym with my brother and dad. A lot of kids in Toledo have nothing to do. We go on social media to tell these kids to come by the gym to get in shape. We are part of a program that feeds these kids. We feel that, the less time on the street, we can help stop the violence, like my brother being killed. We’re trying to get kids off the streets and in the gym.

 

 

Otha Jones III (blue)

 

 

 

 

Jones also noted that he really enjoys training in Colorado Springs, not only because of the outstanding facilities and coaching, but for his peace of mind.

 

 

 

I thought I was in top shape training in Toledo,” Jones added, “but you come here, and the air is different. After training at sea level, you get tired training here. I love it here. There are so many nice buildings and facilities, it’s like a small city, only without crime. I can be myself here.

 

 

 

Otha Jones, III is making an impact in and out of the ring, whether he’s at home in Toledo, training in Colorado Springs, or competing around the world.

National Golden Gloves champion Roney Hines to make pro debut this Friday in Sloan, 愛荷華州

 

克利夫蘭, 俄亥俄 (七月 16, 2018) – This Friday night at the WinnaVegas Casino Resort in Sloan, 愛荷華州, 2018 全國金手套冠軍, heavyweight Roney Hines will make his pro debut when he takes on David Becker in a four-round bout that will precede a ShoBox: The New Generation tripleheader.

 

 

 

海因斯, 23 歲, 克利夫蘭, Ohio won the National Golden Gloves in May in Omaha, 內布拉斯加, which is just an 90 minute drive from Sloan, 愛荷華州.

 

 

 

I am ready to get this out of the way, and put my name on the map. I want to show people what I have,” said Hines.

 

 

 

海因斯, who describes himself as a boxer-puncher, has the physical attributes of the modern day heavyweight by standing almost 6-foot-7 and weighing close to 240 英鎊.

 

 

 

海因斯, who recently signed with GH3 Promotions explained he is with the New Jersey based promotion due to past success moving young fighters along.

 

 

 

I am very comfortable with GH3. With Vito Mielnicki, it’s a family type of atmosphere. I plan to fight every month if I can. Whenever Vito says he can get me in the ring, then I will fight. I just want to take this 1 step at a time. I know what I bring as a fighter, and I am looking forward to showing my skills.

 

 

 

In Becker, Hines is facing an opponent who is 1-1 同 1 knockout from St. 約瑟夫·, 密蘇里州.

 

 

 

I do not know anything about him. He just needs to know who I am, and if he doesn’t, I will show him on Friday.

 

 

 

I am going to work hard, and take this one step at a time. I will be a factor in the heavyweight division before too long.

 

 

 

Hines is promoted by GH3 Promotions and is co-managed by Chances Aurelius and former NFL star Ray Edwards. Hines is trained by Push Davis.

 

 

 

Mielnicki said, “I am looking for Roney to have around 15 fights before the end of 2019.

UNBEATEN COLOMBIAN POWER-PUNCHER TALKS RADZHAB BUTAEV SHOWDOWN AND FIRST FIGHT IN AMERICA

 

吉爾羅伊, 加利福尼亞州. (十一月. 7, 2017)Unbeaten Colombian power-puncher Janer Gonzalez (19-0-1, 15 科斯) takes a major step up in competition when he faces unbeaten Russian prospect Radzhab Butaev (7-0, 6 科斯; WSOB: 9-1) 這個星期五, 十一月. 10, at the Masonic at Templelive Cleveland in downtown Cleveland. The scheduled eight-round welterweight bout will be telecast on the popular 的ShoBox: 新一代 series LIVE on SHOWTIME (10 P.M. AND/PT, 延遲在西海岸).

 

岡薩雷斯, who is coached by Ruben Guerrero Sr., recently shared his training camp experience as his showdown with Butaev nears. 岡薩雷斯, who is making his United States and SHOWTIME debut, last fought in September of this year.

 

Here is what Gonzalez had to say ahead of 星期五 night’s fight.

 

On his recent training camp with Ruben Guerrero Sr.:

 

My good friend Oscar Escandon introduced me to Mr. Guerrero about a month ago. I came to California to start training with Ruben shortly after. It’s been a great transition and training camp has been very productive. I’ve been sparring every other day since I got here. I’m in good shape and I’m ready to perform at my best 這個星期五.”

 

On facing undefeated Russian prospect Radzhab Butaev:

 

I know I have a tough fight ahead of me, but I’m ready for the challenge. Butaev had a tremendous amateur career, but so did I. I have over 300 amateur fights under my belt and there is nothing Butaev will bring to the ring that I haven’t already seen. We equally have a lot of power, so the fans can expect to see some big shots being thrown by both of us. I’m going to leave everything in the ring come fight night.

 

On making his U.S. debut and what a victory on Showtime will do for his career:

 

Fighting on SHOWTIME is a tremendous blessing for me. This is my first fight in America and I going to make it special. The exposure I will get can take my career to the next level, especially if I come out victorious. A win will garner me some big fights and some big paydays. I’m fighting for my family and my countrymen in Colombia. My motivation is at an all-time high and the boxing world will know my name after this fight.”

Introducing undefeated welterweight prospect Boubacar Sylla

紐約 (七月 19, 2017) –Boubacar Sylla is attempting to be the next in a long line of fighters from Cincinnati, Ohio to become world champion.

該 22 year-old Sylla, 誰是分裂-T管理公司管理, and has established himself as a prospect to watch as he has raced out to a record of 7-0 六擊倒.

Sylla started boxing at the age of 14 as his grandfather was a boxer, and Sylla decided that’s what he wanted to pursue.

At first it was tough convincing everyone in the family that boxing should be an occupation.

My mom at first did not want to see me get hurt,” said Sylla. “但現在, she supports me fully.

After an amateur career that saw Sylla go 64-15, Sylla turned professional on February 13, 2016 with a 2nd round stoppage over Shannon Kelly in Chester, 西弗吉尼亞州.

Since then he racked up six more wins, and Sylla continues to grow as a fighter.

I am a boxer/puncher. I use the ring and technique. I am working on a lot, and I feel that I am getting better with each camp.

When Sylla goes to camp, he gets good work with local boxers Jamel Herring, Jamontay克拉克, Chris Pearson and IBF Lightweight champion Robert Easter.

Sylla has championship pedigree in his corner as he is trained by Tim Singleton, Terrell Nixon and former world bantamweight champion Tim Austin.

Sylla, who has fights scheduled for 八月 27, 和 September 30th, wants to stay active and continue his development.

I am looking for six or seven fights this year, and then see where I am at. I trust my manager, and I will be ready for when the competition gets tougher. I want to continue to go to these camps and get better.

Hard work that is combined with dedication and a positive outlook has Sylla very optimistic about his future.

I stay to myself, and I am not into large crowds or going out to clubs and such. I just stay positive and have positive people like my family around me. I see myself as being undefeated and being around a positive environment, and continue to work in the gym. I am outgoing and always in a good mood, and with that outlook, I feel that I will go far in the sport.

Sylla is developing nicely as a second year pro. He’s showing a lot of speed and power in all of his fights. He is a good body puncher, who has excellent size at over 6-foot and his most impressive weapon is a long, blistering, fast jab,” said Tim VanNewhouse of Split-T Management.
He’s a good and humble kid to work with, and we’re glad to have him apart of the growing Split-T family of fighters. We see good things on the horizon for him.

Top Bantamweight Antonio Nieves Scorches Hungary’s Szilveszter Ajtai and Sets Sights on Showdown with WBA Champ Warren

上週六 (十一月 26), 克利夫蘭, Ohio-based bantamweight AntonioCaritaNieves stayed busy and kept himself in line for a cross-state showdown with Cincinnati-based WBA Bantamweight Champion Rau’shee Warren by stopping Hungary’s Szilveszter Ajtai with a single body shot.
Fighting at the Firebird Athletic Center in Bedford, 俄亥俄, WBO #5-rated Nieves (17-0-2, 9 科斯) planted a single left hook to the Hungarian’s body at :46 seconds of round two to earn his 17 professional victory. Watch the video of the knockout 這裡.
The impressive victory keeps alive Nievesdream of facing cross-state rival Warren in an all-Ohio bantamweight championship fight.
The goal has always been to become a world champion,” said Nieves, 戰鬥後. “I’d love to fight for the WBO championship and bring that belt back to the United States. The dream fight would be a unification fight with Rau’shee Warren. I would love an all American, all Ohio match up with a great fighter like Rau’shee. We fought once in the amateurs back in 2011 when I had about four hours’ 注意. He won that fight by decision in Cincinnati. While we have always respected him, the next time we meet, there will be a different result and a different winner.
Nieves’ 促進者, Dmitry Salita of Salita Promotions, says he’s happy with his fighter’s performance.

Antonio did what he’s supposed to do as one of the world’s best 118-lb fighters,” 所述字. “That body shot he landed was one that few fighters could withstand. He’s in perfect shape and ready for his world title shot, which we are working to secure for him in the near future. I’m not sure I want Rau’shee Warren’s people to watch the video though. They may not give us the fight we really want.
