Junior Welterweight Power Puncher Shoh Ergashev Returns to Action on August 19

Juli 24, 2018 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

Uzbekistan-born junior welterweight sensation Shohjahon “Shoh” Ergashev will return to action on Sunday, Augustus 19, at the Korston Club Hotel Moscow, in Moskou, Rusland. The fearsome punching southpaw Ergashev (12-0, 11 KO) will face Kampala, Uganda’s Juma Waswa (10-2-1, KO) in de 10-round main event.

In zijn laatste gevecht, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn in April, the WBA #7-ranked Ergashev went the 10-round distance for the first time while winning every round and the WBA International title against former World Series of Boxing Champion Zhimin Wang of China.

Ergashev, who spends most of his time training at the Kronk Boxing Gym in Detroit, says that even though Wasma has never been stopped or knocked down in his career, he is shunning the boxer’s convention of saying he will go for the KO only if it presents itself.

The fearless Uzbek says he’s only out for one thing in this and every fight.

“I am happy to be fighting in Moscow in front of my fans from Russia and Uzbekistan. My goal is to score exciting knockouts and that’s what I plan on doing August 19.”

“Shoh is one of the hardest punchers in boxing,” said Ergashev’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita. “I believe he has all the ingredients to be a dominant force and one of the most exciting fighters in the sport. Op augustus 19, he will take another step toward his goal of winning a world title in the near future.”

Woord, says the 25-year-old is a bright light, even in his formidable stable of Soviet Bloc fighters that includes undefeated Kazakhstani junior welterweight showman Bakhtiyar Eyubov, world-rated super middleweight Aslambek Idigov, world-rated light heavyweight Umar Salamov, undefeated heavyweight Apti Davtaev, world-rated Ukrainian-born Korean Arnold Khegai, cruiserweight contender Alexey Zubov, undefeated women’s future champion Elena Savelyeva, top-rated bantamweight Nikolai Potapov and undefeated IBF #1 contender Elena Gradinar.

In “De Rage” met….. Khamzat Dalgiev

Juli 20, 2018 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

M-1 Challenge 95 deze zaterdag in Ingoesjetië, Rusland

Khamzat Dalgiev (R) connects against Ivan Buchinger

SINT PETERSBURG, Rusland (Juli 18) – M-1 Challenge kampioen vedergewicht Khamzat Dalgiev (10-1-0, M-1: 7-1-0) defends his title this Saturday against his American challenger, Nate “De trein” Landwehr (10-2-0, M-1: 2-0-0), in the M-1 Challenge 95: Strijd in de bergen main event, this Saturday in Ingushetia, Rusland.

An all-around gifted MMA fighter, Dalgiev got into “De Rage” for a one-on-one interview:

When did you first start in MMA?

KD: “I started training in judo when I was a child and I really loved it. After one championship, where judges made a few very bad decisions that prevented me from becoming the national champion, I decided to move on. At that time there were no MMA gyms around, so I just watched fight videos and hoped to start fighting one day. After a while a friend of mine told me about an MMA gym opening and I understood this was my chance. I remember staying far away from The Rage at one of the first M-1 Global shows in Ingushetia, dreaming about entering the Rage one day by myself.”

What did you have to work hardest at to become the fighter you are today?

KD: “In the beginning of my career, the most difficult thing for me was striking, because I only had a wrestling background. But I can say for sure that it is much easier for a wrestler to learn striking than for a striker to learn wrestling. After a few months of hard training, I had my first fight.

“In my early fights, I preferred using my wrestling skills to defeat my opponents, but as my striking was getting better, I started using it more and more and really enjoyed it. In the upcoming fight I’d love to add the fourth knockout victory to my record.”

Can you talk a little about your only pro loss that came in your debut?

KD: “In my debut fight, I fought a much more experienced fighter, Ali Bagov, wie had er meer dan 20 pro fights on his record. I did not care about his record because those are just numbers and I have never chosen my opponents. If you want to be the best you have to fight the best.

“That loss in my debut fight changed me a lot as a fighter. I gained experience, started training harder and since then, met Gods hulp, I’ve won 10 gevechten in een rij. Even if I could change it and declined taking that fight, I would never do it because that fight was one of the most important one in my career.”

What’s the key to your success?

KD: “If you want to succeed, you have to work hard 24/7 and spare no efforts. You have to set a goal and do your best to reach it, clearing all obstacles on your way.

Can you look back at your title-winning performance and explain what happened?

“In the title fight against Ivan Buchinger, I had great confidence that the title belt will be mine. I was extremely motivated and did not feel his punches. He could deliver one good shot to my head that caused a flash knockdown, but it did not shake me. I did not lose concentration and kept controlling the fight. I was listening to my corner and with their help knocked out the champ.

“For that victory the president of Ingushetia Yunus-bek Yevkurov, gave me a generous gift – Toyota Camry – and when I got home that night, I gave it to my mother because I believe that a mother is the most important person in life for any person. I am not always at home, we have no father and my baby brother is too young to help our mom, so mother could use a car to make her life a bit easier.

What do you feel about your opponent, Nate Landwehr?

KD: “Nate Landwehr is a very aggressive fighter and I love it. He keeps pushing his opponents all the time, maakt niet uit wat, and even if he eats some punches, he does not stop, and this is exactly the way I fight. Nothing can stop me! Zo, I have no doubts our fight is going to be the best fight of the night!

“The best victory is the fast victory, so I’d like to finish ‘The Train’ vroeg. Aan de andere kant, a tough five-round battle would give me much more experience and a boost to my career. In ieder geval, I’ll do my best and use any opportunity to finish my opponent. My goal to is to become a better fighter and leave a mark in MMA history!”

M-1 Challenge 95 deze zaterdag in Ingoesjetië, Rusland

Nate Landwehr (bovenop) pounded Mikhail Korobkov in his M-1 Global debut last September

SINT PETERSBURG, Rusland (Juli 17) – American fighter Nate “De trein” Landwehr(10-2-0, M-1: 2-0-0) challenges M-1 Challenge featherweight champion Khamzat Dalgiev (10-1-0, M-1: 7-1-0) this Saturday in the M-1 Challenge 95: Strijd in de bergen main event, this Saturday in Ingushetia, Rusland.

Fighting out of Clarksville, Tennessee, Landwehr got into “De Rage” for a one-on-one interview:

How did you get your nickname, ‘The Train”?

NL: “My friend started calling me Nate Train back in late middle school. I added ‘the’ in there so I could talk shit on the football field in high school, I just liked saying: ‘You just got ran over by the Train!’ When I started fighting is was a no-brainer. I was very good at football and that’s where I fell in love with contact and hard hits.”

Where does your aggressive behavior, physically and verbally, come from?

NL: “I’ve always been loud and confident. Meer, I loved to show off and talk shit, so I got myself in many, many fights. I was not a bull. I was too small for that, but I would get myself in a situation and have to fight my way out of it.”

When did your MMA career turn around?

NL: “I was working a full-time job until I lost for the second time in my career. After that loss, Ik heb ontslag genomen, started training full time and haven’t lost since.”

Who do you give the most credit to in terms of where you’re at right now in MMA?

NL: “My wife, Robyn, is the most important. Without her I would be nothing. She has supported me since day one. Most fighters start off with only themselves believing they could make it, I started with two.”

How do you feel about fighting in Russia?

NL: I’ve been many places around the world traveling with my wife. Zo, I was very happy to be able to go to Russia and get paid for it. Russia is very beautiful and the architecture there is stunning. I’m looking forward to exploring and experiencing more of its land and culture in the future. I recommend going if you’ve never been there!”

As your title fight approaches, how do you feel about this title shot?

NL: “I’m looking forward to my title shot it and can’t wait. Reminds me of the movie ROCKY IV. Fans will get a show they will never forget. Many Russian fans do love me and message me personally on social networks saying, I put on the best fights they have seen and thank me for it. My main job is to make believers!”

How have you been treated by Russian fans?

NL: “After the last two fights, I have had the biggest lines of fans to take pictures and sign autographs. What makes me special is my passion and heart. You may not remember the whole fight, but you will remember the feeling you had when you see a Nate the Train show!”

What do you expect from the champion, Khamzat Dalgiev?

DL: “I expect a highly motivated man ready to do whatever it takes to keep that title, fighting in front of his fans and in his home country, but it won’t be enough to defeat me. This has Fight of the Year written all over it, followed by Knockout of the Night for me. I am willing to walk through hell to become a world champion and nothing can stop me right now. I’m a man on a mission that started with a boy and his dream.”

In de co-featured evenement, M-1 Challenge featherweight title-holder Movsar Evloev (9-0-0, M-1: 9-0-0) makes his second title defense versus Rafael Dias (15-5-0, M-1: 1-1-0).

Salita Promotions Signs Undefeated Russian Super Middleweight Aslambek Idigov to a Promotional Contract

Juli 11, 2018 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

Dmitriy Salita of Salita Promotions proudly announces the signing of Russian super middleweight prospect Aslambek Idigov (pictured at left) om een promotie-overeenkomst.

Undefeated Idigov (13-0, 5 KO) hails from Grozny, Rusland, but is currently training in Detroit with Javan SugarHill Steward at Kronk Gym. The 22-year-old slugger made his debut under the Salita Promotional banner last June, with an impressive unanimous 10-round decision over then once-beaten James Ballard at the Masonic Temple in Detroit.

Idigov won the IBO Youth Super Middleweight Title in December 2016 with a unanimous decision over countryman Igor Selivanov.

“Training in Detroit at the Kronk Gym has helped me in many ways,” said Idigov. “I learned how to train like a pro and am learning different techniques and boxing tactics. It has taken my game to new levels.”

Promoter Salita, who is amassing a large stable of promising Eastern Bloc fighters, male and female, says his Russian prospect is developing quickly working out at Kronk.

“Aslambek is a strong, hongerig, agressieve vechter. Seeing him improve every day over the last several months, training in Detroit, and his impressive win over James Ballard showed me that he has real world-class potential. Op slechts 22 years old with already several quality wins under his belt, Aslambek is on his way to becoming a force in the super middleweight division.”

Worldwide Pay Per View from Music City

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Juni 28, 2018) – “Road to M-1: VS”, presented by M-1 Global USA and Angel Fight Promotions, will be held August 11, airing on worldwide pay-per-view live from Global Mall in Nashville, Tennessee.

Russia-based M-1 Global has been promoting professional MMA events in Russia, China, Finland and other countries for the past 21 jaar, featuring many of the sport’s greatest fighters, inclusief Fedor Emelianenko, Andrei Arlovski, Gegard Mousasi, Alistair Overeem en Sergei Kharitonov, onder de meer notabelen.

In het verleden, M-1 Global has promoted seven M-1 Challenges and four M-1 Selection events in the United States.

“We are excited to come back to the USA,” M-1 Global president Vadim Finkelchtein becommentarieerde. “It’s been almost seven years since M-1 Global held its last show in the United States and the upcoming Road to M-1 is going to be the first step on our way back into American MMA. We’ve been working hard together with our American representatives, Angel Natal en Mike Merriman, to make it happen and on August 11th we are going to have a show to remember!”

A hybrid ring-cage, “De Rage”, will make its American debut at “Road to M-1: VS”, which allows fans optimum viewing, while fighters have the safety associated with a cage.

Integrated Sports Media zal verspreiden “Road to M-1: VS” in Noord-Amerika op de kabel, satelliet en digitale pay-per-view via de vraag, Vubiquity, DirecTV en DISH in de Verenigde Staten, as well as SaskTel and other outlets to be announced in Canada, en live-gestreamd over de hele wereld op de FITE.TV app en website (www.fite.tv), vanaf 9 p.m. EN / 6 p.m. PT, voor een adviesprijs van slechts $19.95.

“I can’t describe how good it feels to be this close to this show airing,” said Merriman, head of operations for M-1 Global USA & Angel Fight Promotions. “Everyone loves to see sweat and blood in the ring, myself included, but so few people see the blood, zweet, and tears spilt while setting something like this up. This show is going to open a lot of eyes… and drop a few jaws!”
