***“I’m coming there to take a win home to Philadelphia and look good doing it, by any means,” – Ennis***

**Philadelphia** (Aprily 1, 2021) - Undefeated welterweight **Jaron “Boots” Ennis** will look to cement his status as a rising star in the welterweight division when he takes on rugged former world champion **Sergey Lipinets** in a 12-round battle that headlines action live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Aprily 10 from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. tamin'ny hetsika Premier Boxing Champions.

The 23-year-old Ennis will be facing the toughest competition of his career in Lipinets, as he enters the ring in his first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING main event. Representing the fighting city of Philadelphia, Ennis has used sublime boxing skills and power in both hands to make his claim as the city’s next great champion.

Ennis put together a 16-fight knockout streak that included becoming the first person to stop Juan Carlos Abreu when he blasted out the longtime challenger in the sixth round in August 2020. Ennis was unable to extend that streak in December 2020, when his fight against Chris van Heerden was declared a no-contest after round one due to a clash of heads causing a severe cut on Van Heerden’s forehead.

Trained by his father Bozy Ennis, Ennis shared his thoughts on training camp, Lipinets and more below:

***On headlining his first Showtime Championship Boxing card:***

“It has made my schedule a little crazier. Being in the main event on SHOWTIME brings more attention, but I like it. I like being in the spotlight. I like to shine, so it’s nothing new to me. Now it’s fight time. I am locked in and ready to rock and roll.”

***Ao amin'ny toby fanofanana***:

“We always do four-minute rounds in camp. I’ve been doing that since I was a baby. That’s another reason why I don’t sit down when I fight, because I am so used to the four-minute rounds. The three-minute rounds go by real fast on fight night. One thing we added this camp was the underwater treadmill work.”

***On his final preparations:***

“The week before the fight, we are winding it down and sharpening up. It’s been a great training camp. I have been getting better and better each and every day, and I can’t wait to perform next Saturday.”

***On facing his first former world champion:***

"Izy mpiady tsara, but it doesn’t mean anything to me. It’s just another day in the office. He’s a regular person just like anyone else.”

***On Sergey calling him a ‘typical Philly fighter’:***

“I guess he knows I’m tough, gritty and I’m ready to rumble. I’m coming there to take a win home to Philadelphia and look good doing it, by any means.”

***On his knockout power***:

“I don’t think I have my man strength yet. I feel it will be one or two more years until I fully have my man strength. The crazy part is, I feel like in a fight, I still haven’t thrown a real power shot and really sat down on a punch yet. Everything I’ve been knocking guys out with has been all natural strength.”

***On how he views his knockout streak***:

“Some people might look at a knockout on April 10 toy ny 17^faha- consecutive knockout, some might view it as the start of a new knockout streak. Ho ahy, I don’t really care as long as I come out victorious. That’s all that matters to me. I’m not looking for a knockout but I’m going to take it if it comes.”

TOMMY SANTIAGO LOOKS FOR MULTI-SPORT SUCCESS AND A KIDNEY FOR DAD

Febroary 28, 2020 FNU47 Leave a comment

*Football standout to make pro debut on March 27 while his family’s story remains unfinished*

Philadelphia, PA — Tommy Santiago, a standout high school football star and accomplished amateur boxer, will enter the ring for his first pro fight on March 27 amin'ny 2300 Arena, and his dad will be in his corner.

To spectators, it’s another father-son team, made slightly more interesting because Tommy is the second Santiago son to turn pro. Brother Milton, Jr., is an undefeated lightweight.

That Milton Sr., can walk up the steps and wave the towel for his son belies the real story — one about a father who died and was brought back to life less than a year ago, who is waiting for a life-altering call. It’s a story about a mother who pulls double-duty to provide for her family and care for her husband. It’s about the son, a prodigal football talent, who sacrificed his spot at a top football high school to help keep his family afloat, and now is embarking on a professional boxing career. It’s a story about their past and current struggles, and the grit, determination and faith that has seen them through a slow, grinding, water torture-style drip of pain and adversity.

Taona vitsy lasa izay, the Santiago family had outgrown their two-bedroom home. With three teenage boys–Milton Jr., Tommy and young Nicco–they packed their home and moved into a fixer-upper in the suburbs. Milton, Sr., was a talented painter who had worked for some of the most prestigious home builders in Philadelphia.

Mom Brenda worked at a kitchen gadget manufacturing company for 20 taona, where she climbed the ladder, wearing various hats and helping to provide a comfortable life for her family.

It was not long after their 2017 move that Milton Sr., began noticing he wasn’t himself. Over the next few years his health would deteriorate. Once a husky, active painter and boxing coach, he shriveled away. After bouncing from doctor to hospital, he received a dual diagnosis of kidney failure and an infection that had spread to his bones. Brenda went from being a working mom to a working mom and caregiver, waking up Milton, Jr., to help carry his dad to the car at 5:30 in each morning. She’d drive him to dialysis before work, and then take an early lunch each day to get him home.

Tommy enrolled at Archbishop Wood High School, a private, Catholic school in Warminster, PA, known for its elite football program; tuition was $9,000 per year. He was a star running back, scoring 20 touchdowns and gaining nearly 1700 yards as a Junior. His younger brother, a standout basketball player, also attended Archbishop Wood.

Wheelchair bound and unable to walk, Milton Sr., was embarrassed to go to his sons’ lalao. Brenda had to help him get to the bathroom and clean him. Milton Jr., put his career on hold to help care for his father. It was a dark time for the family; bills were piling up as Milton Sr., got sicker.

“I was embarrassed,” Milton, Sr., said of that time. “I was depressed and I kept wondering why this is happening to me and my family.”

Last May, Milton, Sr., went in for a procedure to biopsy a growth in his lungs. When the doctor came out of the operating room and asked Brenda if she would join him in a consult room, she knew something had gone wrong. Milton, Sr., had stopped breathing for nearly two minutes during the procedure and had to be resuscitated. The doctor warned that there may be permanent brain damage.

It was an earth-shattering moment for the family.

“It was the worst moment of my life,” recalled Tommy. “When I walked in and saw my dad in the ICU, knowing he might never be the same, I just started crying. I couldn’t handle it.”

After two days in a medically induced coma, Milton, Sr., began to recover. Doctors finally found the right combination of antibiotics to begin to cure the infection that had decimated his body. Effects from the procedure continued to affect his daily life. Excruciating headaches at all hours and short term memory loss became the new normal.

After Tommy’s record-breaking Junior year, and after seeing the stress that his mother was under, Tommy made a decision. He chose to transfer to William Tennent High School–also in Warminster–cutting his family’s tuition bill in half, but virtually guaranteeing that the college offers he and his parents had dreamed of would never come.

“My mom told me she would find a way, but I didn’t want her to stress,” said Tommy.

Brenda is pained when she speaks of Tommy’s departure from Wood: “Tommy is very strong, and he’s taken a lot for the family. It’s a burden I have on me because I want to be able to give them everything. Milton’s dream was for Tommy to go to Wood – it devastated Tommy and us when he had to transfer.”

As he recovered, Milton, Sr., learned to walk again. Milton, Jr., still administers his father’s dialysis five times per week for six hours and they wait to be added to the kidney donor list. Boxes of equipment line the walls of their home, and the improvements they’d planned on making to their home remain on hold.

“Milton doesn’t want us to be his donor,” said Brenda. “I’m the breadwinner and I can’t afford to be off work. Milton doesn’t want the kids to compromise their athletic careers. And after what happened when he went under in May, there’s a lot of fear. So we wait.”

Her voice breaks when she talks about the day they find a donor for her husband, but she doesn’t mention how it would take the pressure off of her: “The day that it happens, I’ll be ecstatic. He just wants to live a normal life. He wants to be able to do normal things – work, provide for his family. I will be so thankful to God that he answered our prayers.”

“It would mean the world to my family to find a donor,” said Tommy. “Everything he’s been through, the dialysis four hours per day, three days a week… it’s not easy. My mom stays up late to take care of him and gets up early the next day to go to work. She never gives up.”

The example that Milton Sr., and Brenda have set – one of sacrifice, mental strength, and unbelievable love and commitment to each other and their family has been ingrained in their sons.

“Seeing all they’ve been through has been hard, but it makes me want to go harder,” said Tommy. “I just want to be able to bring my family to the next level.”

He has aspirations of being an NFL player and professional boxer, concurrently. “I have received an offer from Villanova,” Tommy said. “I’ve applied at Temple and Penn State and plan to walk on to their football teams if I’m accepted.”

Fa aloha, another fight is on the horizon. A four-round, light-heavyweight contest with Angel Vasquez, ny Springfield, MA, tamin'ny Martsa 27.

“Tommy told me that the reason he likes football and boxing is that he has a hatred inside, a frustration and resentment at everything our family has been through,” said Brenda. “I feel for the kid that’s going to fight Tommy. He’s training hard, and really wants it. He really wants to go out there and do things – He wants to help the family.”

When Tommy Santiago walks out to the ring on March 27, he walks with the burden of his family’s troubles, but with his father by his side. When the bell rings, he’ll hear only his father’s voice from his corner, and a new chapter begins in the complicated and painful story of the unbreakable Santiago family.

***Ennis-Eyubov Announced As Co-Main Event To Claressa Shields vs. Ivana Habazin On SHOWTIME BOXING: EDITION MANOKANA^® From Ocean Casino Resort In Atlantic City***

NEW YORK - Desambra 17, 2019 – Undefeated welterweight sensation Jaron Ennis will make his 2020 debut against hard-hitting Bakhtiyar Eyubov on Friday, Janoary 10 live on SHOWTIME from Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City.

The 22-year-old Ennis (24-0, 22 Kos) will take on Kazakhstan’s Eyubov (14-1-1, 12 Kos) just an hour away from his hometown of Philadelphia in the 10-round co-main event of a SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION tripleheader that begins at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

Two women’s blockbusters will bookend the welterweight bout. Claressa Shields (9-0, 2 Kos) will take on Ivana Habazin (20-3, 7 Kos) for the WBC and WBO 154-pound World Championships in a long-anticipated main event. Amin'ny mpanokatra telecast, WBA Super Middleweight Champion Alicia Napoleon Espinosa (12-1, 7 Kos) meets IBF Champion Elin Cederroos (7-0, 4 Kos) in a 168-pound world title unification.

The event is promoted by Salita Promotions in association with T-REX BOXING PROMOTIONS. The Napoleon-Espinosa vs Cederroos fight is promoted by Salita Promotions in association with DiBella Entertainment.

In Eyubov, Ennis will take on his toughest test to date as he looks to continue his rapid ascension in one boxing’s deepest divisions. The switch-hitter has scored 14 consecutive knockouts as has his level opposition has steadily increased since turning professional in 2016. He returned from a nine-month layoff in August of 2019 with a first round TKO of Franklin Mamani and followed that up with a third round TKO of Demian Fernandez on October 5. Against Fernandez, the come-forward and aggressive Ennis landed 43 percent of his power shots as he switched from orthodox to southpaw in a clinical performance in the main event of SHOWTIME BOXING: EDITION MANOKANA.

Widely regarded as one of the top prospects in boxing, Ennis had two emphatic knockout victories on *ShoBox: The New Generation* amin'ny 2018. Ilay teratany Philadelphia, izay manana 10 first round knockouts and has yet to be pushed past the sixth round, was a standout amateur who won the 2015 National Golden Gloves was ranked as the No. 1 amateur at 141 pounds before turning pro.

“I’m coming to make another statement to the welterweight division and the world,” said Ennis. “I’m going to let them know that I’m here and that 2020 dia ho ny taona. I’m the future of this division and January 10 is the next step in proving that.”

The 33-year-old Eyubov, from Aktobe, Kazakhstan and currently based in Brooklyn, N.Y., is known for his relentlessly aggressive fighting style. Quickly making a name for himself in the welterweight division, Eyubov tore through his first ten professional opponents, knocking them all out within the first three rounds including a third-round stoppage of Jared Robinson on *ShoBox* amin'ny 2016. Eyubov also owns impressive wins over Nicholas Givan (21-2-1) and Karim Mayfield (21-5-1) but is winless in his last two outings, including a majority draw with Jose Luis Rodriguez and a unanimous decision loss to undefeated Brian Ceballo. With just 16 professional fights to his name since moving on from the amateur ranks in 2012, Eyubov is eager to turn heads with a career-defining win over the highly regarded Ennis.

“On January 10, Jaron Ennis is going to be in the hardest fight of his life,” Eyubov said. “He has never faced anyone with my strength, skills and will to win. Bakha Bullet will shoot to do damage in Atlantic City and hand Ennis his first loss.”

“The Ennis vs. Eyubov fight is a classic crossroads fight and a must-win for both fighters,” said Eyubov promoter Dmitriy Salita. “It’s a big test for Ennis, who is a slick, skilled boxer, and a potentially career-changing opportunity for the aggressive, powerful and formerly world-rated contender in Eyubov. We expect fireworks on January 10^faha-.

FANOMEZANA ZAZA RATSY: FANKALAZANA NY FAHA-50 TAONA NY FANDIKANA FAHA-50 TAONA OCTOBRA NY TOLONA OLONA PELTZ 4 AT 2300 ARENA

Aogositra 29, 2019 FNU47 Leave a comment

*Hivory ny vondrom-piarahamonina ady totohondry Philadelphia*
*Manamarika “Ny Boy Wonder” 50-taona manan-danja*

Philadelphia, PA–J Russell Peltz dia 22 taona fony izy nampiroborobo ny karatra ady totohondry voalohany 50 taona lasa izay tao amin'ny Blue Horizon malaza. On Oct. 4, Peltz dia hankalaza ny antsasaky ny taonjato ho mpanentana ady totohondry miaraka amin'ny karatra ao amin'ny 2300 Arena izay haneho ny lazany amin'ny fampiroboroboana Philly vs. Philly, tsy misy ampahefatry ny ady.

Ny karatra ady valo, nasondrotry ny Raging Babe, hanasongadinana Victor Padilla, welterweight zandriny, any Berlin, NJ, amin'ny alàlan'ny Vieques, Puerto Rico, ao amin'ny hetsika lehibe. Padilla, izay ampandrosoin'ny DiBella Entertainment, tsy resy tamin’ny ady dimy, amin'ny alalan'ny knockout daholo, ary heverin'i Peltz sy ny hafa ho tompondaka eran-tany ho avy. Peltz dia ho mpanazatra amin'ny hetsika.

Efa saika 20 taona maro hatramin'ny nahazoan'i Peltz ny loka Long and Meritorious Service avy amin'ny Boxing Writers Association of America sy Philadelphia Sportswriters Association., nanaraka 2004 tamin'ny fampidirana azy tao amin'ny Hall of Fame International Boxing. Raha ny hafa kosa mety nihevitra ny hisotro ronono, Peltz dia nanohy nampiroborobo mihoatra ny 150 hetsika fanampiny, ka nahatonga ny isan'ny seho nasondrotrany ho saika 1,000. Nampiroborobo na niara-nandroso mihoatra noho ny 40 fiadiana ny tompondaka eran-tany.

Taorian'ny nanombohany ny asany ho tonian-dahatsoratra ara-panatanjahantena ao amin'ny Temple News–ny gazety mpianatra isan'andro ao amin'ny Temple University–ary avy eo eo amin’ny birao fanaovana kopia ara-panatanjahantena ao amin’ny Bulletin Hariva sy Alahady, Peltz dia nivarotra tamin'ny milina fanoratana azy ho an'ny roller coaster izay ady totohondry matihanina. Nomena anarana izy “Ilay zazalahy mahagaga,” rehefa namidy ny Blue Horizon misy seza 1,346 izy tamin'ny hetsika voalohany nataony tamin'ny Sept. 30, 1969, alina izay nahitana hetsika lehibe antonony eo amin'i Bennie Briscoe, ny Philadelphia, ary Tito Marshall, ny Panama. Ny vahoaka nijoro irery ihany 1,606.

Tao anatin'ny taona vitsivitsy lasa izay, naka an'i Michelle Rosado izy (aka Raging Babe) eo ambanin’ny elany, ny fanoroana azy sy ny fanehoana azy ny setroka sy ny ivelan'ny orinasa ady totohondry miaraka amin'ny marika tsy manam-paharoa amin'ny fitiavana henjana.

“Tsy afaka mieritreritra olona tsara kokoa aho hampiroborobo ny fankalazana ny faha-50 taonako,” hoy Peltz. “Afaka nipetraka teo amin'ny sezan'ny mpandeha aho tato anatin'ny roa taona farany raha nandeha fiara i Michelle ary faly aho mizara ity hetsika manokana ity aminy..

“Toa omaly aho no nipetraka teo ivelan'ny Blue Horizon any North Philly, mivarotra tapakila avy amin'ny fiarako ho an'ny karatra voalohany nataoko taorian'ny nikatonan'ny boaty ho an'ny andro. Avy eo mankany amin'ny Arena taloha any West Philly, avy eo mankany amin'ny The Spectrum any South Philly, tena nandeha mafy. Atlantic City, Las Vegas, Eoropa, Amerika atsimo, ny tatsinanana–Tsy mino aho fa efa antsasaky ny taonjato izany.”

Rosado: “Voninahitra ny mametraka ity karatra ity miaraka amin'ny faha-50 an'i Russell. Mpampianatra sy namana tsy mampino izy, ary heveriko fa nandrandrako ity fankalazana ny lovany ity mihoatra noho izay azony.”

Colorado Springs, Am-pofoany. (Aogositra 22, 2019) – Misy hery vao misondrotra eo amin’ny tontolon’ny ady totohondry iraisam-pirenena sy ny anarany Atif Oberlton, lanja mavesatra maivana avy any Philadelphia, izay manao iraka hampalaza ny tenany amin’ny ady totohondry.

Oberlton dia hifaninana amin'ny fiadiana ny ho tompondaka eran-tany ho an'ny lehilahy, Septambra 7-21, any Yekaterinburg, Rosia.

Tsy olana ho an'ny mpanao ady totohondry 21 taona izay milaza ny tsy fahampian'ny fahatokisana, "Tena zava-dehibe ho ahy ny manao tsara sy ny fandresena amin'ny Worlds, satria fantatro tsara izany, tao am-poko, Izaho no mpiady tsara indrindra eran-tany. ihany koa, Vaovao eo amin'ny sehatra iraisam-pirenena aho, ka izao no fotoana hanomezako ampahany amin’ny zavatra tsy hitany.”

Nanomboka nanao ady totohondry i Oberlton teo amin’ny fahasivy taonany, na dia tsy nanomboka nifaninana aza izy mandra-pahatongany 14, satria izy irery no zazalahy tao amin’ny fianakaviany, ary tian’ny rainy hianatra hiaro tena izy. Toy ny maro amin'ireo mpiara-miasa aminy, tia ady totohondry izy.

Tao anatin'ny dimy taona farany, Oberlton dia nahazo medaly volamena tamin'ny lalao 2018 ary 2016 National Golden fonon-tanana fifaninanana, 2018 Eastern Elite Qualifier ary 2014 Lalao Olaimpika nasionaly zandriny. Izy koa dia mpandresy tany Etazonia vs. Dual Netherlands.

"Ny zava-bitako lehibe indrindra hatreto dia ny fanaovana ny Ekipa USA ary ny toerana misy ahy, satria nandritra ny taona maro no nandavana ahy, ary eto aho anio dia eo amin'ny toerana ambony misy ahy. Mpiady ambony indrindra aho, ka mendrika izany aho, ary nametraka ny asa ambony indrindra aho, koa”

Nanararaotra ny fiofanana tany Colorado Springs any Etazonia i Overlton. Foibe fanofanana olaimpika, izay nanehoany fanatsarana nanomboka tamin'ny andro voalohany, manandratra ny fahaizany ho lasa mpanao ady totohondry tanteraka.

“Mitàna anjara toerana lehibe amin'ny fihatsarako ny fanamboarana; mahita fomba hafa koa, ary ny fahazoana asa ambony dia nanandratra ahy,” niresaka momba ny fiofanana ho mpikambana ao amin'ny Ekipa USA izy. “Manapaka sakana vaovao foana aho amin'ny lalana mankany amin'ny fahalehibeazana sy ity (The Worlds) iray hafa izay tiako hopotehina. "

Ankoatra ny solontena ny fireneny, Oberlton dia mpiady Philly mirehareha manohy ny ela, fomban'ny ady totohondry manankarena ao amin'ny Tanànan'ny Fitiavan-drahalahy, izay namokatra tahaka nyBernard Hopkins, Mathew Saad Muhammad, Bennie Briscoe, Joey Giardello, Mike Rossman,James Shuler, Eugene Hart ary mpiady mahery maro hafa nandritra ny taona maro.

"Malaza amin'ny tantaran'ny ady totohondry ny tanànako ary manao 'The City of Philadelphia' eo an-damosiko aho,” hoy i Oberlton nanampy. “Tao anatin'ny taona vitsivitsy lasa izay, Hitako ny tenako mitarika ny onja manaraka an'ireo mpanao ady totohondry Philly. Raha ny tena izy, Tsapako ho toy ny onja aho, izao dia izao, rehefa miteny isika. Mijery ahy ny rehetra. Hataoko rehareha izy rehetra, hatramin'ny taranaka antitra na tanora.

“Tsy mbola tany Rosia aho ary manantena ny handeha any. Tsara foana ny mijery izao tontolo izao. Tiako foana ny miverina any amin'ny toerana niaviako ary manandrana mandresy lahatra ny hafa hahita izao tontolo izao, satria lehibe lavitra noho ny manodidina anay izany. "

Oberlton dia toy ny chameleon ao anaty peratra, miova tsy tapaka sy manitsy ny mpifanandrina aminy. “Heveriko ho toy ny rano ny fombako,” hoy izy namarana ny teniny. “Miovaova satria manitsy ny fandresena aho, ary afaka mandresy ny fomba rehetra aho. Afaka mandresy lahatra na iza na iza aho, miady saina amin'ny raharaha. Ny ady totohondry dia ara-tsaina 80 isan-jato, 20-isan-jato ara-batana, ary manana izany rehetra izany aho.

"Ny tanjoko amin'ny fotoana fohy dia ny hahazo volamena amin'ny The Worlds sy ny zavatra hafa rehetra mitondra any amin'ny Lalao Olaimpika. Ary ny fandresena tsy latsaky ny volamena tamin'ny Lalao Olaimpika. Ny tanjoko lavitr'ezaka dia ny ho lasa mpiady lehibe indrindra hatrizay hatrizay."

Tena tsy olana ho an'i Atif Oberlton ny fahatokisana.
