I hope I laid a path for everyone at home that you can achieve anything you set your mind to no matter where you’re from.

World-Rated Russian Light Heavyweight Ali Izmailov Returns Saturday for Showdown Against Detroit’s James Ballard in Dearborn, MITT

Denna lördag, Oktober 16, IBF #11, WBC #14 and WBO #15 light heavyweight Ali Izmailov (5-0, 3 Kos) returns to action against capable hometown veteran James Ballard (10-3, 3 Kos) in the eight-round main event of promoters Kenny D Moore and Vi Tran’s of Second 2 None Promotions’ “Best of Tomorrow 12” event at the Performance Arts Center in Dearborn, Michigan.


The 28-year-old Izmailov, from Malgobek, Ryssland, is a former amateur standout who won multiple elite international tournaments. Already world-rated as a professional at just 5-0, 3 Kos, Izmailov recently started working with world-famous Florida-based trainer John David Jackson at his Action Jackson Boxing Academy in Fort Lauderdale.


Jackson, who has spent the last three weeks sizing up his new protegee, says Izmailov is a diamond in the rough waiting for polish.


“The sky is the limit for him with his punching power,” said Jackson of Izmailov. “He’s a tremendous puncher, but he’s also got natural boxing skills. Som en fighter, I don’t think he realizes his potential. I’m getting him to move his head more and throw more combinations, instead of one power punch at a time. Nothing against his old trainers, but once he learns to throw three or four shots to set them up and camouflage the hard ones, he will be unstoppable.”


Jackson says the 32-year-old Ballard will be a good test for Izmailov and his newfound skills, but shouldn’t be able to derail any of their plans.


“Ballard is good, but Ali just has to pressure him and go to the body to break him down. Once his opponents feel his power, they all have a change of heart. Once Ali hits him with some good shots, it’ll be a matter of time.”


“Ali has amazing potential to be a star and John David is the perfect trainer to bring that out of him,” said Izmailov’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita. “I think you’ll see the improvements immediately under his expert tutelage. Ali was already the best prospect in the light heavyweight division.”


Tickets for “Best of Tomorrow 12” are priced at $25 - $1,000 and can be purchased online through Eventbrite.com. På Fight Night, the action starts at 7:00 pm. The Ford Community & Performing Arts Center is located at 15801 Michigan Avenue in Dearborn, MITT. The event is sponsored by One Punch Knockout Gym, Topbreed Management, Pharaoh Website Hosting & Restaurant Online Ordering Service, MJ Diamonds, Family Tied Entertainment.

”Min stad är känd för sin stora boxning historia och jag bär’The City of Philadelphia’på ryggen,”Oberlton sattes. ”I ytterligare några år senare, Jag ser mig själv som leder nästa våg av Philly boxare. Faktiskt, Det känns som jag är på vågen, just nu, medans vi talar. Alla är tittar på mig. Jag kommer att göra dem alla stolta, från både gamla och unga generationerna.

”Jag har inte varit i Ryssland och jag ser fram emot att gå dit. Det är alltid bra att se världen. Jag tycker alltid att gå tillbaka där jag kommer från och försöka övertyga andra att se världen, eftersom det är mycket större än vår närhet.”

Oberlton är som en kameleont i ringen, ständigt förändras och anpassa sig till sin motståndare. ”Jag anser att min stil som vatten,”Avslutade han. ”Det är vågigt eftersom jag anpassa sig till vinna, och jag kan slå någon stil. Jag kan överlista någon, slåss sinne över materien. Boxning är 80-procent mentala, 20-procent fysiska, och jag har allt.

”Min kortsiktiga mål är att vinna guld i världar och allt annat som leder till de olympiska spelen. Och vinna inte mindre än guld i OS. Min långsiktiga mål är att bli den största fighter att någonsin gå universum.”

Förtroende är definitivt inte ett problem för Atif Oberlton.
