Orijinèr soti nan Washington, D.C., Dusty Hernandez-Harrison has been touted as the city’s “best boxing prospect since Sugar Ray Leonard” by the Washingtonian Magazine. He began fighting at the age of six at the boxing exhibition at the Ritz Nightclub in Northwest D.C. and became a sanctioned amateur at the age of 8. Nan moman sa a nan premye pro bout li a laj de 17, Hernandez-Harrison compiled an amateur record of 167-30, genyen plizyè Ringside chanpyona mondyal, Nasyonal Gan Silver chanpyona ak twa tou dwat Nasyonal Golden Gan chanpyona soti nan 2007-09. Nan mwa jen 11, 2011, as the youngest licensed professional fighter at the time, Hernandez-Harrison made his pro debut defeating Alphonso Alexander via a unanimous decision at the Desoto Civic Center in Southaven, Mississippi. Six months later in his third pro fight, Hernandez-Harrison made his hometown debut on the undercard of the HBO World Championship Boxing broadcast of Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson and dazzled with a first round technical knockout of Terrell Davis. On his way to being crowned WBC Youth Welterweight World Champion in November 2013, Hernandez-Harrison stopped former National Golden Gloves Champion Kelly Wright in the fourth round in February of that year and two weeks later defeated Aaron Anderson via a six-round unanimous decision. In April 2013 at Dover Downs Casino and Resort in Dover, Delaware, he won a unanimous decision against Puerto Rico’s Jonathan Garcia and on Me 18 in front of a raucous hometown crowd of 3,000 at the University of the District of Colombia, he knocked out Eddie Soto with a right hand in the fifth round. Hernandez-Harrison proceeded to earn the “2013 Knockout of the Year” for the Soto fight and the “2013 Fighter of the Year” from Go Fight Live (GFL.TV). Sou Novanm 2, 2013 nan Madison Square Garden, Hernandez-Harrison became the WBC Youth World Champion, winning a ten-round, unanimous decision over Josh “Pit Bull” Torres. De mwa pita, in his first nationally televised fight on ESPN’s Vandredi Goumen Night, Hernandez-Harrison outlasted Tim Witherspoon Jr. via an eighth round unanimous decision victory, after which actor and director Mark Wahlberg tweeted that Hernandez-Harrison is “the truth.” Featured again on ESPN’s Vandredi Night Fights on March 7, 2014, Hernandez-Harrison faced southpaw Mike Balasi and came back to drop Balasi to the canvas twice en route to a six-round unanimous decision victory. Sou janvye 9, 2015, soon after signing a promotional agreement with Roc Nation Sports, Hernandez-Harrison headlined the promoter’s inaugural event at The Theater at Madison Square in a fight televised by Fox Sports 1. In a battle for the vacant WBC Continental Americas Welterweight Championship against New Yorker Tommy “The Razor” Rainone, Hernandez-Harrison scored a dominant ten-round unanimous decision victory. In his most recent fight on January 29, 2016, Hernandez-Harrison scored a decisive win over Angel Hernandez via a third round technical knockout at The Belvedere in Elk Grove, Illinois. Hernandez-Harrison recently entered into agreements with FILA and GEICO to be a brand ambassador for both companies. He is the only professional boxer to represent each prestigious brand.

 

Mike Dallas Jr. was born into a boxing family and tabbed by experts during his teen years as a future professional star. At age 29, he’s in the midst of a comeback that lands him in Washington, D.C. against local unbeaten favorite Dusty Hernandez-Harrison that may be the most important fight of his life. Kòm yon amatè, Dallas shared a ring with current world champions Terence Crawford (whom Dallas claims he beat three times) and Danny Garcia as well as three-time U.S. Olympian Rau’shee Warren. He won multiple national amateur titles and qualified for the 2004 ak 2008 Esè Olympic. Dallas turned professional on March 20, 2008 against Alejandro Valladares in San Jose, California and won by unanimous decision. He would go unbeaten in his next 17 batay. When he faced Josesito Lopez for the vacant NABF super lightweight title on January 28, 2011 in his national television debut on ESPN at Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, California, he was shockingly stopped in the seventh round.Five months later, Dallas met fellow rising contender Mauricio Herrera. In an excellent fight, again at Pechanga Resort and Casino, Dallas lost by a razor thin majority decision. Despite the setback, Dallas’ performance showed boxing experts he was back to contender status. In his next two fights, Dallas dominated former Miguel Angel Gonzales on February 17, 2012 and knocked out Javier Castro on June 22, 2012 to capture the WBO Latino light welterweight title. Those wins brought Dallas to his biggest opportunity to date, an WBC super lightweight interim world title fight against Lucas Matthysse, sou Janvye 26, 2013 at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Just after negotiations for the fight were finalized, Dallas learned that his father, Mike Dallas Sr., who introduced his son to boxing at age six, passed away suddenly at just 45 ane ki gen laj. Dallas Jr., sepandan, did not pull out of the Matthysee fight. Nan batay lannwit, Dallas Jr. was all there physically, but mentally a fight of that magnitude was too much under the circumstances and Matthysee, probably the hardest puncher in boxing, imposed his will on Dallas, scoring a first round knockout. He then took the break he should have taken before the Matthysee fight, spending two years away from the ring. When Dallas felt the urge to fight again, he contacted his trainer Ben Bautista and the pair ventured to Tijuana, Meksik, where Dallas picked up two quick wins against Alejandro Alonso on November 20, 2015 and most recently on December 19 against Odillon Rivera. He now returns to fight in the spotlight again on Me 13 in a true crossroads fight against Hernandez-Harrison.

 

At the age of nineteen, Darmani Rock is already drawing comparisons to former heavyweight greats of the past. Rock has received high praise for his powerful jab and ambidexterity. Standing at 6’4”, he moves with an unparalleled lightness and speed for a fighter his size. Rock earned nation-wide accolades following a banner year in 2014 when he took home the USA Boxing Junior and Youth Open, Youth Continental and Youth World super heavyweight titles. During the 2014 Junior and Youth Open in Reno, Nevada, Rock shut out the 2013 National Youth Champion, John Luna, 3-0. This impressive performance was followed by another super heavyweight title at the Youth Continental Championships in March 2014 in Quito, Ecuador where he defeated Argentina’s Kervin Espinola 3-0. Rock then took home the gold medal at the prestigious World Youth Championships in Bulgaria in April 2014 by a 2-1 decision over Germany’s Peter Kadiru. Rock also took home the 2014 World Junior Amateur Championship and capped off 2014 by being named Philadelphia’s Amateur Boxer of the Year at the annual Briscoe Awards. His most noteworthy win, sepandan, came in May 2015 when he beat Cam Awesome, a career amateur who has been called the next Chris Byrd, in Las Vegas for the National Golden Gloves title. Rock also captured the 2015 U.S. National Amateur super heavyweight championship. He ended his amateur career as the number one rated super heavyweight in the United States (and the number five rated super heavyweight in the world) ale 19-5 in national tournaments. In February 2016, Rock signed an exclusive promotional agreement with Roc Nation Sports.

Pandan ke chak moun gen yon advèsè tèribl nan devan l ', yo tou de gen je yo sou Sergey Kovalev ak senti tit twa mond l 'yo, men premye yo gen biznis pou yo ale nan nan Samdi lannwit.

 

"Chak fwa mwen soti vin resevwa Oakland pou yon evènman ak mwen se ak Andre nan yon aktivite kote li te pale ak medya yo, li frape m 'ki evidamman, li se yon talan espesyal atlèt, men li la tou yon moun espesyal e mwen espere ke tout moun isit la nan Oakland konprann ak apresye ki.

Apre shadowboxing nan bag la ak yon jij kèk sou sache yo pwensonaj, tout kat avyon de gè patisipe nan entèvyou ak manm medya nan prezans nan lekòl. Super Bowl chanpyon ak Oakland natal Marshawn Lynch, yon grangou Andre Ward sipòtè, te fè yon aparans espesyal pandan antrennman la nan sipò Ward.

 

Anba la a se sa konbatan yo ki te di pandan antrennman nan medya final:

 

ANDRE WARD, De-Tan Mondyal Champion ak tèt-rated liv-pou-liv avyon de gè:

"Mwen santi mwen bon epi mwen menm mwen pare ale. Mwen pik nan moman an dwa. Mwen jis eksite jwenn li nan Samdilannwit.

 

"Mwen itilize yo kondwi pa Oracle Arena sou 880 kòm yon jenn ti kabrit sou wout mwen nan Gym wa a ak mèvèy si mwen te kapab fè l 'gen yon sèl jou ak [antrenè] Virgil [Hunter] te konn ap di avèk konfyans, 'W ap ale nan gran tit la.' Kòm mwen te resevwa ki pi gran, Mwen itilize yo ale nan kèk nan kat yo mete yo sou nan tèren an. Mwen te toujou yon amatè ak mwen ta jis rèv. Next bagay ou konnen, nan 2009, Mwen te nan yon plonje oswa naje goumen kont Edison Miranda. Si m 'te genyen, te gen pwobableman yon bon chans ke mwen ta pran yon piki tit ak rès la se istwa. Isit la nou yo ankò, li nan m ' 7th tan nan Oracle ak li la toujou yon benediksyon.

 

"Se te moman an dwa pou yo avanse pou pwa loud limyè. Se te yon konbinezon de pa gen mesye yo dwa batay oswa mesye ki pa t 'vle goumen m'. Mwen vle vin yon grannèg. Sa yo se kalite mouvman yo ak mouvman ou gen fè. Mwen se yon elèv nan espò a epi lè mwen etidye espò a, sa a se sa gran te toujou fè. Yo deplase moute. Yo menm ki gwo jwenn yon fason yo jwenn li fè e mwen vle yo dwe nan ki konvèsasyon.

 

"Barrera se yon kò gwo. Li se konfyans. Sanble gen yon pèrswa bon. Nou pa t 'chwazi l' paske li se yon manyen mou. Nou te chwazi l ', paske li te ale nan jwenn m' pare epi montre m 'sa sa a klas pwa se tout sou. Si ou gade nan karyè mwen, gen nan yon kote pou melodi-ups ki mwen pa te gen yon anpil nan. Ou vle al goumen pi bon an epi si ou pa ap goumen pi bon an, ou vle goumen contender nan nimewo yon sèl. Sa a ki sa nou ap fè.

 

"Mwen panse mwen en nan yon avyon de gè efikas. Mwen k ap deplase lè mwen gen pou avanse pou pi. Mwen panse ke sa a, se bote a nan nenpòt ki atlèt ki pa abize kò l 'ak reyèlman pran navèt l' yo seryezman. Mwen te wè kèk atik reklame mwen rate premye mwen. Li nan fou m '. Mwen santi mwen se mwen menm ki kòm bon jan mwen te janm te. Mwen te nan yon gym boksè san yo pa anpil nan yon ti repo pou sot pase a 20 ane. sèvo mwen te remèsye m 'pou de dènye ane yo. Kò m 'te remèsye m'. Li ta ka ban m 'yon lòt de ane nan karyè mwen.

 

"Mwen gen yo jis pou m '. Ki moun ki mwen menm ki se ase. Mwen pa gen yo montre moute pou Kovalev nan foul la nan Samdilannwit. Nou jis gen nan aplike plan an jwèt. Mwen panse ke k ap pase yo voye mesaj la li nan sipoze voye epi si li pa fè sa, Apre sa, li pral [Kovalev] jwenn mesaj la lè nou goumen.

 

"Si m 'pa genyen sa a batay, pa gen anyen desann wout la. Si m 'pa genyen sa a batay, Mwen pa merite pou goumen pou tit la. Sa a reyalite a nan sitiyasyon mwen.

 

"Barrera pa janm te goumen yon nèg tankou m 'anvan, Se konsa, yo ka pale yon jwèt bon. Yo ka domine tit yo ki mennen jiska batay la. Yo ka di tout bagay la Slick yo vle di. Nou jis vle domine tit yo Dimanch maten apre batay la se sou. Sa a ki sa mwen se konsantre sou. "

 

SULLIVAN BARRERA, Nimewo yon sèl rated IBF limyè contender pwa loud:

"Mwen pi fò pase Ward. Mwen gen background nan Kiben yo ak mwen te aprann yon anpil nan kapasite gen. Plis pase anyen, detèminasyon an simonte anyen nan devan m 'pral ede m' defèt Ward sou Mas 26.

 

"Yon fwa mwen menm mwen nan bag la, li nan kay mwen an.

 

"Kèlkeswa sa Ward gen, Mwen pral abitye ak li epi li resevwa li.

 

"Mwen gen de men. Li gen de men. Mwen gen yon travay moun fè gwo Mas 26.

 

"Mwen konnen Ward ak Kovalev yo trè respekte epi yo kreye yon anpil lajan ak yon anpil nan enterè, men yo pa konnen ki sa Sullivan Barrera se kapab nan fè. Mwen pral pwouve ke nan Samdi.

 

"Mwen pa reyèlman yon nèg ki gen yo gade pou yon pentch. konpetans boksè mwen pale pou tèt yo. Mwen goumen Andre Ward ak batay isit la nan Oakland, se konsa mwen pa panse ki pral yon desizyon dwe rann an favè m '.

 

"Pou tout fanatik yo, espesyalman fanatik yo Kiben sa yo ki te sipòte m 'tanpri konnen ki vini Samdi, Mwen pral jwenn fè tout sa mwen gen pou fè pou soti viktorye. "

JOSEPH DIAZ JR., NABF Plum chanpyon:

"Mwen pa ka atann sa Jayson te fè Ronny Rios pandan sa a batay. Mwen te gen yo ale nan gen, teste l 'soti epi ajiste lè mwen nan bag la.

 

"Si opòtinite pou prezante tèt li kote li te fè mal ak mwen wè ke pwenson m 'yo ap boulvèse l', Lè sa a, nan kou mwen pral jwenn nan gen, gen agresif ak asire yo ke mwen pran l 'soti pi bonè posib.

 

"Mwen konnen ap resevwa sou andedan an, koupe bag la ak pran li nan kò a touswit pral kraze l 'atè. Sa k ap pase yo fè l 'pa deplase kòm anpil ak pita sou nan jij mwen kapab peyi kou visye nan tèt la. Mwen pral pran li nan kò a touswit.

 

"Mantal Se mwen menm ki 100% pare. Sa a se yon etap gwo nan karyè mwen, se konsa mwen mantalman konsantre. Mwen se byen prepare. Mwen santi mwen tankou sa a se moman sa a mwen te ap tann pou tout lavi tout antye m '. Mwen santi mwen tankou mwen se pare pou sa a epi mwen pa ka tann pou Mas 26. Mwen resevwa fòmasyon trè difisil pou sa a batay ak mwen se byen prepare pou li.

 

"Mwen vrèman vle fè yon deklarasyon sa a batay. Mwen vle montre mond lan ke Joseph Diaz ta ka pwochen gwo bagay la nan boksè, Se konsa, mwen ki resevwa fòmasyon trè difisil yo mete yo sou yon gwo batay pou fanatik yo batay, dwe pran anpil agresif, epi fè li yon lagè nan la. Mwen espere ke Jayson Velez se 110% pare paske mwen vle l 'yo dwe nan pi bon li.

 

: Si m 'genyen sa a batay, epi fè yon deklarasyon, Mwen panse ke mwen kapab deplase nan estati contender ak èspere ke jwenn yon tit mond tire nan fen ane sa a. Mwen vle goumen opozan difisil ane sa a paske mwen vle montre mond lan kiyès mwen ye.

 

"Mwen santi mwen tankou yon bèt lè m 'etap nan bag la e mwen ka wè li nan bòks. Chak fwa mwen jwenn on kou efikas, Mwen ka di ke mwen blese opozan m 'yo. "

JAYSON VELEZ, Top-rated contender plum:

"Nan nivo mwen, chak nèg se yon contender tèt. Mwen gen nan tren pi rèd ak amelyore defans mwen. Mwen te ap travay sou sa.

 

"Si ou wè dènye mwen twa oswa kat batay, ou pral wè ke mwen te domine nan koup la nan premye jij ak Lè sa a mwen kouri soti nan gaz, Mwen te ap travay sou andirans mwen se konsa ke pa pral rive sou Mas 26.

 

"Mwen te wè batay Diaz la. Nou te sparred yon koup de fwa. Li te resevwa vitès. Li te resevwa yon grangou. Li nan premye HBO l ', se konsa li te definitivman motive, men se konsa mwen. Li nan ale nan gen yon gwo batay.

 

"Mwen vle yo dwe chanpyon nan pawòl Bondye a. Mwen konnen li vle li tou. Nan samdi, nou pral konnen ki moun ki vle li pi. Nou tou de vle pou pou genyen epi nou tou de se fòmasyon pou yon genyen. Yon batay ant pouvwa ak vitès se yon gwo matche ak-up. Nou pa mansyone li se Meksiken ak mwen se Pòtoriken. Ou ka espere yon gwo batay ak li nan pa gen yon sèl ou vle yo kapab manke. "

Sou Mas 26, NABO Junior Welterweight Champion Maurice “Mighty Mo” Hooker (19-0-2, 14 Ko) risks his unbeaten record against Wilfrido “La Roca” Buelvas (17-5, 11 Ko) of Barranquilla, Colombia in a ten-round junior welterweight bout. Hooker, rated number seven by the WBO, is coming off of a career-best win on October 17, 2015 against his toughest opponent to date in Ghislain Maduma (17-2, 11 Ko) nan Madison Square Garden. Hooker successfully defended his NABO title with the 10-round decision win over Maduma on the undercard of Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux in a fight that was featured on the event’s “freeview” in the United States and streamed online around the world. Buelvas, a former WBA Fedebol champion, has won two of his last three bouts by knockout and fought Humberto Soto for the WBC Silver International Super Lightweight title in 2014, going the 12-round distance before losing a decision to the former World Champion.

 

Born and raised in Oak Cliff, Texas, a rough suburb of Dallas, Hooker found a boxing home at Maple Avenue Boxing Gym by way of an outreach program for at-risk youths. His natural talent was soon noticed resulting in him competing as an amateur, during which time he participated in over 100 batay, compiling a record of 97 ranport ak sèlman 7 pèt, ak 67 victories coming by way of knockout. Hooker turned professional on April 29, 2011, taking on the vastly more experienced Tyrone Chatman (7-1, 5 KO nan) at the Orpheum Theater in St. Louis. After four rounds, the judges saw the fight 40-36, 37-39 ak 38-38, making the fight a split draw. Undeterred, in his next fight on June 24, 2014, Hooker scored his first professional win, knocking out Wilbert Mitchell in the first round at the Dr. Pepper Arena in Frisco, Texas. Eleven wins (eight by knockout) later, he took on undefeated Abel Ramos (8-0, 4 KO nan) sou Janvye 17, 2014 in a bout that was featured on ShoBox from the Cook Convention Center in Memphis. After eight close, hard-fought rounds, the judges saw the fight a draw. Hooker followed the draw with a six-round unanimous decision win over Adrian Rodriguez Garza (8-2, 6 KO nan) sou Avril 26 at Fitzgerald’s Casino and Hotel in Tunica, Mississippi. Four consecutive knockout victories would follow before he took on fellow undefeated prospect Eduardo Galindo (10-0-1, 7 KO nan) sou jen 26, 2015 at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas for the vacant NABO Junior Welterweight Championship. “Mighty Mo” did not disappoint his legion of hometown fans who saw him capture the title with a sixth round technical knockout victory.

 

Hailing from Rancho Cucamonga, California ak batay soti nan fwaye a boksè nan Oxnard, undefeated Danyèl "kontraksyon" Franco (12-0-3, 7 KO nan) meets Mexican veteran German “Panteonero” Meraz(52-37-1, 30 Ko) in an eight-round featherweight bout on Mas 26. Featured for the second time on a Ward undercard, the sharp-boxing Franco will look to improve on his undefeated record against an opponent with literally six times his pro boxing experience. Meraz is only 29 years old but has already logged an amazing 90 professional bouts and has won four of his last six fights by knockout. He has fought current World Champion Juan Carlos Payano, Three-Time U.S. Olympian Rau’shee Warren and highly-touted prospect Gervonta Davis, going the distance with all three.

 

Franco began boxing at the age of eight, akumulasyon yon dosye amatè nan 67-15, genyen chanpyona a Oxnard PAL an 2006 ak gan chanpyona a Eta Kalifòni Silver nan 2007 sou wout la. Pandan pwofesyonèl premye Franco a sou Desanm 18, 2010, li te bat Emanuel Machorro nan Club 401 nan Ontario, California atravè yon twazyèm pentch teknik. Malgre ke yo te enskri kòm yon elèv aplentan nan CHAFFEY College nan RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Franco enpresyone nan karyè li byen bonè, konpile yon dosye undefeated ak de trase nan avni nan tout California nan fen 2013. Youn nan moun ki trase vin atake Alejandro Ochoa nan Pe Cannon nan Montebello, California nan mwa Septanm 20, 2013, but in a rematch three months later, Franco outmatched Ochoa ki fè nòt yon sis-wonn desizyon inanim viktwa nan Westin Hotel Bonaventure nan Los Angeles. Nan mwa jen 20, 2015, during Ward’s return to the ring at Oracle Arena, Franco saw action in an eight-round junior lightweight bout against Jonathan Alcantara and won by unanimous decision. A hand injury suffered in that bout kept Franco out of action until Desanm 21when he scored a decision victory over Hector Garcia in Tijuana, Meksik.

 

A promising unbeaten prospect from Salinas, California, Rudy “The Revelation” Puja. Jr. (7-0, 6 Ko)looks to extend his undefeated streak against Carlos “Kalimba” Lozano (7-5, 4 Ko) nan Ensenada, Mexico in a six-round middleweight bout. Puga turned in a career-best performance in his last match-up on February 12 in knocking out Alejandro Osuna (4-2, 2 KO nan) in two rounds at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, California. Koulye a,, just a little over a month later, “The Revelation” will step into the ring against a tough opponent in Lozanao, a southpaw who has never been stopped and already has a ten-round decision victory under his belt.

 

Having compiled an exceptional amateur record of 99-8, Puga made his professional debut on September 2, 2011, scoring a fourth round technical knockout victory over Raul Talamontes at the Sports Complex in his hometown. Back in the ring less than two months later, Puga Jr. raised his record to 2-0 with a first round technical knockout of Jose Jesus Hurtado at the Sherwood Inn in Salinas. Nan mwa jen 2012, he sent Thomas Turner to the mat four times in scoring a second round technical knockout win at the Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. After a little more than a year away from the ring, he rededicated himself to the “sweet science” with a vengeance and on February 17, 2014, Puga Jr. made his comeback stopping Charon Spain in the third round with an overpowering body shot at the Salinas Storm House in his native Salinas. Promotional issues kept Puga Jr. out of the ring for the next year and injuries led to a slow 2015, but Puga Jr. scored a a fourth round technical knockout win over of Katrell Straus on Avril 24 and a six-round unanimous decision over Juan Carlos Rojas on Novanm 21, both fights taking place at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, California.

 

Brooklyn’s 20-year-old, undefeated Junior “The Young God” Younan (7-0, 6 KO nan) retounen nan zanno a nan Mas 26 after a nine-month layoff to take on Cristian Solorzano (4-7, 3 Ko) nan Sonora, Mexico in a four-round super middleweight fight. Younan has battled multiple nagging injuries since scoring a second round technical knockout victory over Mike Sawyer on the Miguel Cotto vs. Daniel Geale undercard on June 6, 2015 nan Barkley Sant nan Brooklyn, New York. Koulye a, 100 percent healthy, Younan looks to make Solozano his third straight knockout victim. Solorzano, a naturally bigger fighter, has campaigned in the light heavyweight division and is coming off of a knockout win.

 

Younan, trained by his father Sherif, a former professional boxer himself, began fighting competitively at age eight and only two years later was called a “boxing prodigy” by the New York Times. He compiled an amateur record of 90-5, racking up an impressive series of titles along the way including nine Junior Olympic championships, nine Junior Metro championships, eight New York State Silver Gloves championships and five Regional Silver Gloves championships. Nan 2011, he was crowned National Junior Golden Gloves champion and was U.S.A. Boxing’s number one rated junior boxer in his weight class. Less than a month after his 18th anivèsè nesans, Younan made his professional debut on November 9, 2013, at the Aviator Sports and Events Center in Brooklyn, New York, stopping Kenneth Schmitz in the first round. Younan would go on to knockout his next three opponents before going the distance for the first time against Azamat Umarzoda on July 2, 2014 a Foxwoods Resort Casino nan Mashantucket, Connecticut. He followed that fight with a first round knockout of Marlon Farr on Out 13 the BB King Blues Club and Grill in New York on Out 13.

Chinese heavyweight Zhang “Big Bang” Zhilei (7-0, 4 Ko) joins the undercard on Mas 26 in a four-round bout against an opponent yet to be determined. The Silver Medalist from the 2008 Beijing Olympics continues to infuse excitement into the heavyweight division and is coming off of a first round technicalknockout win over David Koswara on February 20 at the Lanzhou Sports Arena in Lanzhou, Lachin.

 

Born on May 2, 1983 in Henan, Zhang began his amateur career in 2003, participating in the World Championships. A breakthrough came in 2007 at the World Championships where Zhang defeated the trio of Nurpais Torobekov, Rustam Rygebayev and Daniel Beahan en route to the semifinals where he lost to Ukrainian Vyacheslav Glazkov. By capturing a bronze medal and finishing the competition in third place, he qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The Chinese powerhouse nearly reached the zenith of amateur success in the summer of 2008, entering the super heavyweight finals at the Summer Olympics in Beijing against Italy’s Roberto Cammarelle. It was not to be as Zhang suffered his first defeat of that Olympiad, losing to Cammarelle, but proudly adding to the host country’s medal total with a Silver. Nan 2009, Zhang captured a gold medal at the China National Games, an event of equal prestige to the Olympics in China. 2013 saw yet another gold medal winning performance in the China National Games, setting the stage for “Big Bang” to embark on a professional career while basing himself in the United States. Sou Out 8, 2014, Zhang made his professional debut by scoring a first-round knockout win over Curtis Lee Tate in Fallon, Nevada in a fight that was televised live on ESPN2. Sou Mas 14, 2015, Zhang beat Eric George via a four-round unanimous decision at the Armory in Jersey City, New Jersey. He followed that with another four-round unanimous decision win, this time over Glenn Thomas on the highly anticipated Cotto-Geale undercard at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Jen 6. Next came a sixth round technical knockout win over Dennis Benson at The Playground in Atlantic City on Out 15. To end the year, Zhang was featured on the undercard of the Novanm 21 Cotto vs. Canelo mega-fight at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, where scored a four-round unanimous decision victory over Juan Goode.

 

Lokal Hayward, California pi renmen Arawon Coley (12-1-1, 6 KO nan) faces a very stern test in a six-round junior middleweight bout against Ki te swiv Ryskeldiev (11-3-2, 7 Ko) of West Hollywood, California, a Kyrgyzstan native who is undefeated in his last seven fights.

 

Sou Mas 26, Coley will look follow his most recent victory, a unanimous decision over Jeremy Ramos onJanvye 23 at the Marriott on Broadway in Oakland, with another win in front of his hometown fans. Prior to his January win he scored two unanimous decision triumphs, including his June 20, 2015 performance against Yusmani Abreu (who Ryskeldiev defeated by technical knockout in September) on the undercard of Ward’s last fight. Considered a promising prospect in boxing circles, Coley’s lone loss came via decision to one of boxing’s hottest prospects in Ievgen Khytrov in a bout that was televised live on Showtime’s ShoBox on April 10, 2015 from The Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, New York.

Ward vs. Barrera, a 12-round fight which is presented by Roc Nation Sports in association with Main Events, pran plas Samdi, Mas 26, 2016 nan Oracle Arena nan Oakland, California and is sponsored byCorona Extra, Ticketmaster, Jesyon Corporate Vwayaj solisyon (CTMS), kontan, leve, Zappos, BodyArmor, SAN Nitrisyon, Shoe Palace and The Waterfront Hotel.

TUREANO JOHNSON PROVIDING GREAT SPARRING FOR DANIEL GEALE

Kite yon kòmantè

 

NEW JERSEY (Me 26, 2015) – Gary Shaw Productions middleweight contender, Tureano Johnson (18-1, 13 Ko), is now the chief sparring partner for Danyèl Geale (31-3, 16 Ko) as he prepares him for his upcoming WBC title clash with Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32 Ko). Johnson, who captured the WBA International and WBC Silver middleweight titles in his last bout, is currently ranked WBC #2, WBA #5, IBF #8 and WBO #13. He gives his thought on sparring with Geale.

 

“Daniel Geale is a special fighter who possesses a lot of boxing skills,” said Tuerano Johnson. “He’s looking real sharp in the gym and his power is there. I can feel the snap on his punches and I think Miguel Cotto is in for a big surprise. Everyone is counting Geale out but not me. Gary Shaw brought me in to test Geale’s skills and after a few days of sparring, I believe Daniel will be crowned champion.”

 

“I brought Tureano to the gym to spar with Geale because he’s a good look to emulate Cotto and he’s one of the top fighters in the middleweight division,” Gary Shaw said. “The feedback I got from Johnson about sparring Geale is very positive. I’m confident that Daniel will use everything in his playbook to come out victorious.”

 

Tureano Johnson is currently riding a 4-fight winning streak, three of which came by stoppage. Highly ranked across the board of all sanctioning organizations, Johnson is on the cusp of landing a big fight.
