QUINCY, Masa. (Gājiens 26, 2024) – Granīta zoda akcijas (GCP) ir paziņojusi par sava novatoriskā vienas nakts turnīra uzsākšanu, “Granīta zoda kaste nost,” sestdienas vakarā, Maijs 11, kurā piedalās kvartets, kas ir atmests supervidējā svara cīnītājs no Jaunanglijas, kas ir galvenais “Rumble at the Rink” pro boksa karte, Kvinsijas jauniešu arēnā Kvinsijā, Massachusetts.

Supervidējo svaru kvartets cīnīsies trīs raundu cīņās (4th pēkšņas nāves raunds, ja nepieciešams neizšķirta gadījumā) agri vakarā, un divi uzvarētāji iekļūs piecu kārtu pamatturnīrā (6th pēkšņas nāves kārta neizšķirta gadījumā) lai noteiktu čempionu, kuru veicinātājs Kriss Treeti plāno ikgadējā turnīrā, ko ir sankcionējusi Masačūsetsas Boksa komisija.

Visi četri cīnītāji ir agresīvi un drosmīgi, kas nāk cīnīties, kas faniem nozīmē neaizmirstamu vakaru.

"Šis turnīrs ir bijusi ideja, ar kuru es flirtēju kopš 2021. gada," sacīja GCP prezidents Kriss Treeti.. "Es negribēju to nospiest, kamēr nejutu, ka dažas no sākotnējām bažām ir atrisinātas un man ir četri pareizie puiši.. Tagad tas viss ir sanācis! Nav nevienas cīņas kombinācijas ar šiem četriem, kas nebūtu aizraujošas jau no sākuma zvana. To Granite Chin plāno darīt katru gadu, tātad, kad šis atklāšanas turnīrs būs pabeigts, mēs to novērtēsim, lai noskaidrotu, vai ir nepieciešami kādi uzlabojumi, lai tas būtu gatavs 2025. Paldies cīnītājiem par viņu aizrautību būt daļai no kaut kā tāda īpaša, kā šis, un Masačūsetsas komisijai par visu tās palīdzību, kas man palīdzēja atrisināt visus drošības jautājumus un tikt galā ar tiem, lai tas varētu tikt sodīts.

Šeit ir četru “Granite Chin Box Off” izaicinātāju sadalījums:

Džeimss "Pitbuls" Pērkinss (13-1-1, 9 Kos), Lynn, MA

Pērkinss ir favorīts pirms turnīra, pamatojoties uz viņa profesionāļiem un pretinieku kvalitāti. Pa dienu kapracis, Pērkinss piedzīvoja vienīgo zaudējumu pagājušā gada augustā Stīvam Sampteram (9-0, 7 Kos), zaudējot ar astoņu raundu vairākuma lēmumu par vakanto IBA Amerikas supervidējā svara čempionātu.

"Es ļoti gaidu šo notikumu. Es vienmēr esmu vēlējies cīnīties turnīrā, jo es nekad neesmu cīnījies Zelta cimdos vai amatieru turnīros. Es nolēmu kļūt par profesionāli pēc savas sestās amatieru cīņas. Vēl labāk, ka pasākums notiek hokeja laukumā, jo visu mūžu uzaugu un spēlēju hokeju. Es sāku slidot divu gadu vecumā un spēlēju visu vidusskolu (St. Marija no Linas).

"Esmu gatavs tikt galā ar visu, kas man nāks pretī. Es zinu, kas ir visi cīnītāji, bet es pazīstu Klārku daudz vairāk nekā citus cīnītājus. Es un Klārks vairākas reizes esam cīnījušies uz vienas kārts. Man patīk Klārks, un viņš ir grūts puisis, bet ja mēs kopā nonāksim ringā, tas viss būs bizness. Mēs nebūsim draugi, kad būsim tur. Nakts beigās, Esmu ļoti pārliecināts, ka būšu turnīra uzvarētājs."

Entonijs "Maigais mežonis" Andreozzi (5-3, 2 Kos), Swansea, MA

Bijušais Masačūsetsas vidējā svara čempions, Andreozzi ir atlabis no brutālās kājas/potītes savainojuma, kas gūts pirms vairāk nekā gada, atgriežoties pagājušā gada februārī 24th otrās kārtas nokautā Igoram Pesoa.

"Tas ir (turnīrs) noteikti pārkāpj robežas. Tas ir turnīra veids, kurā svarīga būs emocionālā kontrole. Jūs nevarat izgāzt savu slodzi pirmās cīņas pirmajā raundā un joprojām gaidīt panākumus. Man ir daži simti cīkstēšanās un vairāk nekā ducis karatē spēļu. Esmu pieradis pie emocionālās kontroles, kas nepieciešama, lai efektīvi veiktu vardarbību divas reizes vienā naktī. Es nevaru gaidīt!

"Raiens Klārks ir lielisks puisis. Mēs esam veikuši apļus pirms manas cīņas ar Kailu Cusiku (Aprīlis 22, 2022). Pērkinss kopā ar savu bijušo komandas biedru aizvadīja sešas smagas kārtas. Bernards šķiet labs čalis, tāpēc nekas personisks pret viņu nav.

Bernards Džozefs (6-1, 4 Kos), Dorchester, MA

Džozefs ir uzvarējis pēdējās divās cīņās un bijis aktīvs ar četrām cīņām 2023 un šī viņam būs otrā 2024. gadā. 33 gadus vecajam futbolistam būs arī dzimtās pilsētas priekšrocības, cīnoties tuvējā Kvinsī..

“Tas ir savādāk (turnīra formāts), bet tas ir atkarīgs no tā, kā mēs trenējamies. Es daudz nodarbojos ar sparingu, un tas man nāks par labu. Tas ir saistīts ar treniņu un ķermeņa pieradināšanu pie pārtraukuma, piemēram, sparingā. Es varētu cīnīties četrus raundus un pēc tam sešus.

"Tagad esmu profesionālis, cīnās seši apļi, bet ne ar lielu pauzi starp cīņām kā šajā turnīrā. Tas man dos laiku rehidratēties un sagatavoties otrajai nakts cīņai. Esmu redzējis visu pārējo cīnītāju video, un es nevienu nerunāju slikti, bet es nevaru nejust, ka esmu favorīts, lai to visu uzvarētu.

Raiens Klārks (4-5, 2 Kos), Baringtons, ME

Dabisks vidējais svars, Klārks turnīrā pārvietojas visvairāk svarā, kaut ko viņš labi apzinās, bet nav pārāk noraizējies. Vēl viens uz darbību bagāts cīnītājs, Klārka rekords ir maldinošs, jo viņš ir tikpat izturīgs kā viņi ir un spēj uzveikt jebkuru no trim pārējiem izaicinātājiem..

"Tas ir (turnīrs) ir lieliska ideja. Chris (Traietti) ir gudrs puisis, un šis turnīrs sagādās izklaidi līdzjutējiem, un tas būs izaicinājums cīnītājiem. Es atzinīgi vērtēju viņa ideju. Es parasti cīnos plkst 160 un šajā turnīrā es cīnos nedaudz lielākā svara kategorijā. Man patīk izaicinājums.

"Es pazīstu Toniju un Pērkinsu un cienu viņus. Viņi ir talantīgi. Šis (turnīrs) ir līdzīgs sparingam. Es izlaižu piecas vai sešas kārtas, pakavēties un runāt, apmeklējiet kādu citu apmācību, un pēc tam atgriezieties ringā, lai atkal sparētu. Tas nav pārāk atšķirīgs. ”

Drīzumā tiks paziņoti papildu mači.

Undefeated Irish Light Heavyweight Prospects Tommy “The Governor” Hyde & Thomas “The Kid” O’Toole Fighting again in adopted home – “Veterans Stadium Showcase” Outdoors on August 11th in Quincy, MA

QUINCY, Masa. (Jūlijs 10, 2023) – Like some of his fellow countrymen in the past, undefeated Irish light heavyweight prospects Tommy Hyde (5-0, 3 Kos) and Thomas “The Kid” O’Toole (7-0, 5 Kos) have traveled across “the pond” from their native Ireland to Boston in order to enhance their professional boxing careers.

They will both be fighting on the August 11th (Augusts. 12th rain date) on the “Veterans Stadium Showcase” Pro-Am card, presented by Granite Chin Promotions (GCP), at Veterans Memorial Stadium on Quincy (MA), a suburb of Boston only 10 miles to the south of the Massachusetts capital.  

“This card wouldn’t be complete without some Irish flair to it,” GCP president Chris Traietti said. "Ar to teica, I didn’t want just any Irish fighters on the show. I wanted two of the hottest prospects. Working with both guys has been a pleasure. Their teams have been great. Their fan-bases are in for a treat come August 11th."

They’ve built solid fanbases of Irish natives who now live in the United States, as well as Irish American boxing fans, just like their predecessors from the Emerald Isle, world champion Steve Collins and Mike Tyson-conqueror Kevin McBride.

Although Hyde and O’Toole will be fighting in separate six-round bouts this could be a prelude to a showdown between the Irish light heavyweights. They fought twice as amateurs with each winning one and in the future, they could be matched against each other once again, only this time as professionals.

The 24-year-old Hyde is a three-time Irish National Champion who had an 80-26 amatieru rekords. Viņa tēvs, Gary Hyde, is an international matchmaker who has represented numerous world champions.

“I am delighted to be fighting in Boston again,” Hyde said. “It’s like a second home now. I have a lot of family and friends living there and they all show me great support when I’m fighting there. It’s a big boxing city and it’s great to be following in the footsteps of Steve Collins and Kevin McBride who I really admire.

“I fought all over the world as an amateur in 2019. I fought outdoors in a multi-national tournament in Odessa, Ukraina. It was a really good experience, so I’m really looking forward to fighting outdoors in a Boston stadium.

“This will be the second show we shared since we’ve been pros and it probably won’t be the last. A fight between us could be big down the line in Boston or Ireland. He’s an Irishman like me, so I’ll be supporting him until we fight just like any other Irish boxer.”

Hyde faces an opponent to be determined.

O'Toole.jpg

O’Toole, 25, is another celebrated Irish amateur boxer who captured top honors in the Haringey Box Cup and Irish Elevate final, in which he decisioned Hyde. “The Kid” won 51 no 60 amateur matches. Ten Years ago, O’Toole fought outdoors for the first and only time in an amateur show at Boston City Hall, arranged by then- Boston Mayor Marty Walsh.

A southpaw, O’Toole lives in nearby Braintree (MA). Six of his seven pro matches have been held in Greater Boston, the lone exception in Manchester, New Hampshire. “The Kid” is moving up one division to fight Massachusetts cruiserweight champion Scott “Scottie Bombs” Lampert (5-8, 4 Kos) for the vacant United States Boxing Federation (USBF) cruiserweight crown.

“Fighting outdoors does make a difference,” O’Toole commented, “especially if it’s hot and humid. I couldn’t prepare for fighting outdoors here in the summer if I was training in Ireland. We don’t have hot and humid weather there. I’ve been training here in this weather. It’s amazing how the weather can zap your strength. It did have an effect on me when I fought in Boston outdoors as an amateur.

“Tommy and I have gone our separate ways as pros, but our paths may grow down the line. We haven’t seen much of each other when we fought on the same card here. He is coming on very well in the pro ranks. He has a good man behind him in his father, Gary, and I think Tommy can go far. He’s said that a fight between us can easily be made if it makes sense. ES piekrītu. We both have big fan bases. This is going to be an amazing, fun night.”

Irish eyes will certainly be smilin’ Aug. 11th in Quincy.

In the eight-round, Galvenais notikums, former New England Welterweight Champion Mike “Bad Man, Ohan, Jr. (18-2, 9 Kos), of Holbrook, and Haverhill’s Harry “The Hitman” Gigliotti (9-4, 3 Kos), reigning ABF Atlantic super lightweight title holder, will throw-down in a non-title fight.

United States Boxing Federation (USBF) Champion Julien “Black Dragon” Baptiste (5-3, 2 Kos), no Woburn, and Massachusetts titleholder Jamer Jones (3-1, 3 Kos), of Pittsfield, are in a middleweight unification bout for their titles in the eight-round co-featured event.

Gigliotti’s stablemates, undefeated Lowell lightweight Gabriel “The Menace” Morales (7-0, 4 Kos) and unbeaten Methuen middleweight Luke “The Quiet Storm” Iannuccilli (6-0, 3 Kos) būs arī darbībā, attiecīgi, versus Nathan Benichou (2-16-1, 2 Kos) and Ryan Thomas Clark (2-4, 1 KO).

Also fighting on the undercard is undefeated middleweight prospect Francis “Frank The Tank” Hogan (14-0, 13 Kos), of nearby Weymouth (MA), būs darbībā, as well as Scituate heavyweight Kevin Nagle (2-0, 2 Kos), vs. TBAs.

Salem’s Kenny “Lionheart” Larson challenges Mass. Welterweight Champion Denzel Whitley in battle of undefeated prospects on March 11th at MassMutual Center in Springfield, MA

QUINCY, Masa. (Februāris 27, 2023) – Styles make fights and a potential instant classic is on tap March 11th in the “Springfield Championship Boxing 2” main event, when undefeated Kenny “Lionheart” Larson (6-0, 5 Kos) challenges defending card Massachusetts State Welterweight Champion Denzel “Double Impact” Whitley (10-0, 6 Kos) in the 8-round headliner, at MassMutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts.

“Springfield Championship Boxing 2”, presented by Granite Chin Promotions (GCP), will be streamed live on BXNGTV.com.

“This fight has all the makings to be one of those local fights that people talk about for years,” GCP president Chris Traietti commented. “You have a hyper aggressive guy like Kenny going up against a slick counterpuncher like Denzel. Both guys are undefeated and there’s a state title on the line. Kudos to both guys for taking this fight, one that nobody will want to miss.”

Larsons, 33, is an ultra-aggressive fighter who constantly applies pressure on his opponent; Whitley’s an intelligent counterpuncher that breaks down the other guy in the ring. It figures to be an exciting showdown to determine who fights his fight. It’s so rare for a pair of undefeated prospects to fight each other so early in their professional careers.

“We are looking to showcase that we are both serious,” Larson explained. We both want to make statements! As long as I do what I’m supposed to do, fighting like I do in the gym, it doesn’t matter that I’m fighting him in his neck of the woods. (Whitley is from Holyoke, which is only 8 miles from the Springfield venue.) One night a fan said to me, ‘You fight with the heart of a lion.’ I couldn’t think of a better nickname for me. Viņš (Whitley) beat Kris Jacobs (WMDEC8) in his last fight (to capture the vacant Mass. welterweight title) and I knocked out a guy (Raiens Klārks) in the first round who defeated Jacobs.

“We’ll see what happens when the kitchen starts getting heated up (vs. Whitley). Everybody has a plan going into a fight. Anyone who knows me knows my assets and what I have for him. I’ve watched him (Whitley) on tape and saw a few things that interested me. I was kind of amused by what he had to say. Let the cards lay where they may and we’ll see what it comes down to. I’ll have people there for me. I’ve always had a huge crowd behind me since I was an amateur because of my fan-friendly style.”

Larson was a hockey player who didn’t pick up boxing until he was in high school. He started at a gym that wasn’t, as he described, super serious about boxing, more for fitness, and one day a friend suggested that he go to train at the Somerville Boxing Club., where he changed his life,  gan un no gredzena.  

“Everything there was serious,” Larson reported. “Things clicked and I had focus and direction. I had a substance abuse problem, drinking, but I changed addictions from drinking to boxing for the last 10 gadiem. Šodien, I have no days off from boxing.”

Larson now trains out of Broadway Boxing in Everett (MA) with Joe Riccardi as his head trainer.

A native of Salem (MA), Larson was a 3-time Central New England Golden Gloves runner-up, as well as a 2016 New England Golden Gloves champion in the novice division.

The O must go for either Larson or Whitley. Fans will be the biggest winner!

The Cruz brothers, lightweight Isaiah (5-0, 3 Kos) and super lightweight Calixto (1-0), fighting out of Springfield, will both be in action in front of fans, ģimene, un draugi. In the 6-round co-featured event, Isaiah “Baby Warrior” Cruz will face Akeem “Action Action” Jackson (6-5, 5 Kos) in the 6-round co-featured event, while Calixto meets Luis “Broccoli” Gerardo Avila (8-22-3, 5 Kos) ar 4 kārtu cīkstēšanās.

Also schedule to be in action are unbeaten Dominican welterweight Carlos Castillo (6-0, 4 Kos), of Holyoke (MA); Puerto Rican super lightweight Ian “Dinamite” Garcia (2-0-1, 1 KO), of Springfield; Springfield super featherweight Carlos Gonzalez (4-0, 4 Kos), and Springfield super lightweight Liz Humphries (0-1-1)

QUINCY, Masa. (Novembris 10, 2022) – Former New England Welterweight Champion Mike Ohan, Jr. (16-1, 9 Kos) is preparing for his potential career-changing fight on December 10th pret 2020 Neatrodas ASV. Olympian Tiger Johnson (6-0, 4 Kos) slavenajā Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Johnson vs. Ohan, Jr. is a scheduled 8-round welterweight match on a Top Rank card, headlined by a Heisman Night fight featuring Teofimo Lopez against Jose Pedraza, which will be streamed live on ESPN+.

Ohan, Jr. isn’t overly concerned about fighting a much-hyped prospect, who is promoted by event promoter Top Rank,, at the mecca of boxing on a much larger viewing platform.

“I’ll embrace it,” Ohan, Jr. “I’ve fought a lot of top guys in the amateurs like Jamaine Ortiz, who just fought Vasiliy Lomachenko. I feel like I belong at the top level with them, but they started competing earlier than me in the amateurs. Es biju 16-17 and had a lot of catching up to do.

“This is what all the years of me working so hard has been for. It’s been a dream of mine even as a kid, before I started boxing. It’s starting to payoff; I need to executive the game plan on fight night.”

“I couldn’t be prouder of Mike and what he has accomplished so far in boxing,” Ohan’s promoter, Granite Chin president Chris Traietti commented. “He’s a great guy with great work ethic, and he has a ton of heart. He jumped all over this opportunity when it was presented. This is why guys fight; to hopefully get a chance to shine at an event like this at Madison Square Garden. Mike grinded and grinded, now he has his well-deserved opportunity at stardom.”

Ohan, Jr. is the son of a retired pro boxer, (14-6-2, 11 Kos), who served as a sparring partner for the great Marvelous Marvin Hagler.

The 24-year-old Johnson, fighting out of Cleveland, bija ļoti dekorēts neatrodas ASV. amateur boxer who was a member of the 2020 .USA Olympic Boxing Team. He was a 2-time winner of the USA National Championships (2016 & 2017), as well as a gold medalist at the 2016 AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships, un 2014 USA Junior Olympic National Championships.

“He’s a great fighter,” Ohan, Jr. talked about his upcoming opponent. “Everything he does, he’s excellent at, not just good. I have to bring my A game to prove I belong. All the greats have adjusted to the situation and that’s what I have to do. I’ve put in all the blood, sweat and tears. Whatever he throws, Es būšu gatavs. "

Fighting in Madison Square Garden is the ultimate venue for Ohan, Jr. along with most fighters. Some may feel that the cards are stacked against Ohan, Jr., but he clearly isn’t worried about all the hoopla associated with fighting at MSG on ESPN+ against the event promoter’s highly touted boxer.

“It’s just going to be me and him in the ring,” Ohan, Jr. noslēgts. “Madison Square Garden is an historic place. Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Robinson…all the greats have fought there. I love boxing history and I’m blessed to be fighting there. I do live closer to New York City than him and I’m sure people will come out for me.

“At the end of the day, tomēr, everybody will know who I am. An impressive performance will raise my stock, but I’m going in the ring to win!"

Undefeated light heavyweight New Bedford Edet Mkapanam battling back from surgeries Granite Chin’s “Hometown Royalty” this Saturday in Bridgewater, MA (see attached with pictures)

QUINCY, Masa. (Maijs 3, 2022) – Undefeated New Bedford (MA) light heavyweight prospect Edet Mkapanam (6-0, 5 Kos) is battling back from retina and shoulder surgeries that sidelined him 16 months before his successful ring return this past March.


The 27-year-old Mkapanam faces Scott “Bombz” Scott on the May 7th Hometown Royalty” card, presented by Granite Chin Promotions in association with Cappiello Boxing Promotions and Shearns Boxing Promotions, at Bridgewater Veterans Club in Bridgewater, Massachusetts (85 Cottage St.), marking the first professional boxing event ever held in that town.


Raised in Brockton, known as the “City of Champions, Mkapanam had an abbreviated amateur career (8-3), although he was a heavyweight winner in the 2017 Rocky Marciano Tournament, as well as runner-up a year later in the prestigious New England Golden Gloves Championships.


Mkapanam had back-to-back surgeries, starting with a torn ligament in his shoulder, followed by surgery to repair his retina in the right eye.


“I didn’t have much of an amateur career and I’ve been learning on the job (kā pro),” Mkapanam explained. “I learned in the gym sparring with some of the top fighters in New England like Peter Manfredo, Jr. and Mark Deluca. Manā prātā, I wanted to continue fighting and I kept working hard in the gym while recovering. Some doctors said I shouldn’t fight again, so I upped my intensity in the gym, and when I was examined again the doctors said my eye was a lot better and I was cleared to fight. I had a tough training camp before my last fight, the first after my surgeries, and I wasn’t even thinking about my eye during that fight.”


Mkapanam looked relatively sharp in his March 19th comeback fight, stopping pro debut fighter Igor Pessoa in the third round of their fight in Derry, New Hampshire.
Tagad, Edet is on a mission to make up for lost time.


“I’ve been working on my jab and some other things,"Viņš teica. “My goal is to fight on bigger stages, which is one of the reasons I signed with (Granite Chin promoter) Chris Traietti. I respect Scott Lampert, but I’m on a whole different level in New England boxing, and I’m going to prove it this fight. I know Chris is going to get me opportunities to fight on bigger stages.”


“Edet was somebody I was interested in working with in the past, but then his injuries happened before we could formally get a deal together,” Granite Chin president Chris Traietti explained. “Once he reached out and told me he was cleared to fight again, I wasted no time making him an offer to sigh with Granite Chin. Edet is a great guy who works hard and wants to fight. We talked about a game plan for his career. We are both on the same page and you will be seeing him on a big stage in the very near future.”

Ohan, fighting out of Holbrook (MA), will be in his first scheduled 10-round bout against Mexican challenger Israel “Filipino Tigre” Rojas (14-24, 5 Kos) in a super lightweight, non-title fight.

“Ten rounds means a lot to me,” Ohan said. “It’s something I’ve watched my entire life because all legends fought 10-rounders. This is special for me. I’m ready to go and I will outclass my opponent.”

Ohan captured the vacant New England title last November, when he won an 8-round unanimous decision over Ryan Dibartolomeo, followed by a successful title defense in his last fight in June, when challenger Tyrone Luckey retired after the five rounds.

The New England title is a stepping-stone and next year I feel like I can collect more title belts next year,” he added. “I signed with Chris (Traietti, president of Granite Chin Promotions) because I want to be in big fights. Es nevar gaidīt, lai šo cīņu, I’m already in top shape. Two guys I recently defeated recently knocked out undefeated opponents, (Eric) Svētceļnieks (WSD6 vs. 8-0-1 Ruddicus Livsey) and Luckey (WKO1 and WKO6 vs. 7-0-1 Eduardo Aguilar)."

A former 2-time Southern New England Golden Gloves champion, the now 27-year-old Ohan is the son of a former prizefighter, middleweight Mike Ohan (14-6-2, 11 KOs – 1983-95), who sparred “Marvelous” Marvin Hagler. Ohan, Jr’s grandfather on his mother’s side also boxed.

“I always looked up to my father as a fighter,” Ohan., Jr. minēja, “but he didn’t want me to box. I started late and didn’t go to the gym until I was 16 to help stay out of trouble. My father’s supportive and he goes to my fights. I fell in love with boxing right away and I feel even stronger about it today.”

Ohan’s birth name is Ohanian, but he is Irish. “It’s in my blood,” he explained. “It goes back to the old bare-knuckle days. My father is Irish on his mother’s side, Armenian on his father’s. My grandmother is Irish on both sides. Tik, I have a lot of Irish in me from my parents.”
