Oscar suffered an injury to his back in training and he’ll be ready to go in April,” Lewkowicz said. “He’s very sorry for the delay in the fight, but these things happen in boxing. He’s really looking forward to facing Gary Russell, Jr., but he wants to be completely healthy when they do meet.
Escandon, a 32-year-old Colombian with a record of 25-2 avec 17 KOs, is the mandatory challenger for Russell’s featherweight championship. Jermell Charlo defending his 154-pound title against Charles Hatley will be the co-feature on the rescheduled card.

Sampson Lewkowicz Issues Challenge to World’s Super Top Super Middleweights on Behalf of Boxing Prodigy David Benavidez: Fight My Fighter!

Sampson Lewkowicz Issues Challenge to World’s Super Top Super Middleweights on Behalf of Boxing Prodigy David Benavidez: Fight My Fighter!
Promoter Sampson Lewkowicz is issuing a challenge to the world’s top super middleweights: Help his fighter, David “El Bandera Roja/Red Flag” Benavidez, become the youngest 168-lb champion in boxing history by fighting him.
He is on a course to smash the old record,” said Lewkowicz of Benavidez, but I need a top-10 contender or a world champion to fight him. He’ll take on anyone in the world.
Phénix, Arizona’s Benavidez (17-0, 16 KOs), who did his usual steamroll over opponents last Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas (this time over Uzbekistan’s Shareli Mamajonov in less than two brutal rounds), is only 20 ans. The youngest super middleweight champion in history was Darin Van Horn, qui était 22 ans, 8 months and 11 days old when he beat Lindell Holmes by KO 11 for the IBF Super Middleweight Championship on May 18, 1991.
Promoters don’t want their fighters to fight him,” continué Lewkowicz. “He can’t move up the ratings or make boxing history if promoters are too worried about their investments to let their fighters face him. I need the promoters behind the top 10 contenders in the division to step up and see if their fighters can stop his rise. They can’t. But I need them to try.
Benavidez is currently rated WBC #14, WBA #7, IBF #13.

If you are reading this and you promote any super middleweight fighter who has a top-10 ranking or is world champion, call me. We will fight. We hear from opponents looking to get paid for getting knocked out, but never anyone with a top-10 rating. This is your challenge. Call me and let’s get it on. Help my fighter become part of boxing history.

Fortuna revient avec un KO impressionnant sur Cabrera autrefois invaincu

Samedi nuit devant une foule réservée aux places debout au centre commercial Sambil à Saint-Domingue, République Dominicaine, ancien champion du monde des super poids plume Javier “Le Abejón” Fortuna est revenu à l'action avec une impressionnante éruption en deux tours de sa compatriote dominicaine Marlyn Cabrera.
Dans son premier combat depuis une défaite surprise en juin dernier contre Jason Sosa qui lui a coûté son championnat du monde WBA Super Featherweight, Fortune (30-1-1, 22 KOs) a chuté Cabrera deux fois au deuxième tour, provoquant l'arrêt. C'était la première défaite de Cabrera en tant que professionnel.
La victoire de Fortuna était l'un des trois combattants de boxe Sampson à gagner Samedinuit.
Jeison dominicaine invaincue de 21 ans “Banane” Chapelet (12-0, 9 KOs) détruit Carlos Jairo Cruz, ancien invaincu (maintenant 17-1, 11 KOs) en deux tours et le super poids plume Abraham de 22 ans “Super” Nova a déplacé son dossier à 3-0, 2 KO avec un KO au quatrième tour contre Willy Morillo.
Fortuna avait l'air vif lors de son retour, mettant la puissance et la vitesse explosives qui font de lui l'un des combattants les plus excitants de toute la boxe. Avec la victoire sur Cabrera dans les livres, l'ancien champion gaucher cherchera désormais à retrouver son statut de championnat.
Promoteur de Fortuna, Sampson Lewkowicz, dit que son combattant a deux options à considérer pour son prochain combat.
“Ensuite, nous chercherons soit un combat éliminatoire pour le candidat obligatoire de l'IBF pour combattre Jose Pedraza, soit nous chercherons à affronter le vainqueur de Jason Sosa vs. Stephen Smith à Monaco le Novembre 12,” a déclaré Lewkowicz. “Javier veut redevenir champion et il combattra n'importe qui pour y arriver.”
Chapelet, un récent signataire de Sampson Boxing à un accord promotionnel à long terme, est un ancien amateur avec une richesse de talent de boxe. Cruz n'avait aucune chance contre le cogneur basé à Saint-Domingue.
“Jeison est une future star et je suis heureux de l'avoir dans mon écurie,” continué Lewkowicz. “Je vais lui obtenir un visa pour combattre aux USA et payer ses impôts IRS, ce que je fais pour tous mes combattants.”
Nova, qui est né en Caroline, Puerto Rico, aux parents dominicains, est allé 167-11 avec 60 KO en amateur, gagner la 2014 Ressortissants américains, la 2014 Coupe du monde indépendante en République dominicaine, L'or au 2014 Tournoi Cheo Aponte, et la 2015 Qualifications olympiques. Il est également cinq fois champion de New York Golden Gloves.
“Abraham a fait de bons tours et a obtenu le KO sur un vétéran avec plus de combats,” a déclaré Lewkowicz. “Je suis satisfait de sa performance et des améliorations qu'il continue de montrer à chaque combat. C'est une perspective forte avec un avenir radieux.”

Le retour de l'ancien champion du monde Javier Fortuna débute en septembre 23 à Saint-Domingue, République Dominicaine, Contre Invaincu Marlyn Cabrera

Le retour de l’un des combattants les plus excitants de la boxe, ancien champion du monde des poids plumes WBA Javier “Le Abejón” Fortune, commencera le Vendredi, Septembre 23, 2016.

Mais alors en juin de cette année, Fortuna a subi une surprise TKO 11 défaite au Capital Gym de Pékin, Chine, au challenger non annoncé Jason Sosa du New Jersey. Gagner assez facilement sur les trois tableaux de bord, un Fortuna fatigant a été surpris et abandonné par un rallye de fin de combat animé.
Cabrera, 29 ans, invaincu et non testé, viendra sur le ring avec un bouleversement dans son esprit. Au cours de sa carrière professionnelle de six ans, il a déjà tenu la WBA Fedecaribe et la Fédération Universelle de Boxe (UBF) Championnats InterContinental poids plume.
“Je ne peux pas attendre pour revenir dans le ring,” dit Fortuna. “J'ai perdu mon championnat et je vais battre tous ceux que je dois battre pour le récupérer. Cabrera est mon compatriote et je lui souhaite une longue carrière fructueuse, mais maintenant il est sur mon chemin. Il doit y aller.”
Quelqu'un est invaincu “0” doit aller dans le 10 round “Tout dominicain” événement co-principal junior poids moyen, comme Jeison “Banane” Chapelet (11-0, 8 KOs) de Saint-Domingue affrontera Santiago de los Caballeros’ Carlos Jairo Cruz (17-0, 11 KOs).
Rosario a été vu pour la dernière fois en train de détruire son compatriote invaincu Rafael Lorenzo en deux tours en avril. Cruz fera sa première apparition sur le ring cette année.
Dans deux autres matchs importants, 25-Wellington Arias Romero, gaucher d'un an (11-0-1, 5 KOs), de Newburgh, New York, États-Unis via Saint-Domingue, République Dominicaine, affrontera Abrahan, 26 ans “L'indomptable” Peralta (18-4, 13 KOs) de Nagua, République Dominicaine, dans une bataille ultra légère de huit rounds; et en huit rounds “Tout dominicain” confrontation légère, Invaincu Osvaldo Cabrera (11-0-1, 6 KOs) affrontera Ramon De la Cruz (8-2-1, 7 KOs).
Dans le super poids plume à quatre rondes d'ouverture, future star Abraham “Super” Nova (2-0, 1 KO) de Braintree, Massachusetts, cherchera à continuer sa course invaincue chez les professionnels contre Willy Morillo (2-2, 1 KO) de la République dominicaine.
“C’est un grand spectacle avec de nombreux "dominicains vs. dominicain’ combats. La fierté dominicaine sera debout cette nuit-là,” dit le promoteur Lewkowicz. “Javier Fortuna revient en force après sa première défaite contre un combattant invaincu. Il est en colère contre lui-même d'avoir perdu et veut que les combats difficiles le ramènent au championnat du monde. Les autres combats sont tous les meilleurs combattants que le pays a à offrir les uns contre les autres et nous avons ma star du futur Abraham Nova, pour ouvrir le spectacle. Je suis très fier de faire partie de ce spectacle et très heureux de revenir en République dominicaine avec mon, partenaire fidèle, Cesar Mercedez de Manguita Promotions.”
