(L-R) – Mykquan Williams & Paul Cichon


HARTFORD (Oktobro 27, 2021) – Unbeaten super lightweight prospect “Marvelous” Mykquan Williams (16-0-1, 7 KOs) has been on a long, strange trip in 2021, starting with his career-defining victory to date last January, bedaŭrinde, followed by a car accident resulting in a wrist injury, leading to the entrepreneurial launch of his “Marvelous” merchandise and products, and last Thursday he became a father for the first time.

“It’s been very frustrating,” Williams said about his injury. “This is what I do; I’m batalanto. At times it has been hard, and I’ve been frustrated the entire time. I’m eager to fight again, but I need to be patient. When the time is right and I’m back 100-percent, I’ll be back in the ring, hopefully, early next year. Nun, I have to build-up my wrist, strength-wise.”

Williams was in a car accident this past March 5Th, in which he suffered a dislocated right wrist, popped into place that evening in the trauma unit. The next morning, Williams underwent surgery to insert four pins, which left him in a splint for 11 weeks, until the pins were removed May 15Th. Therapy and exercises were all he could do, no boxing at all, until he returned to training, and he threw his first punch only three weeks ago.

When a boxer suffers a serious injury to his hands like Williams, it often leaves questions about his or her boxing future. No different for “Marvelous” Mykquan, as he admits.

“Personally,” Williams explained, “I worry about coming back close to where I was, but I keep faith and keep working. People have been very supportive. Sometimes I think about not being able to box again, but I try not to think about that, but that is positioned in my mind.”

“We’re in no rush,” Williams’ head trainer Paul Cichon noted. “We’re doing exactly what his doctors are saying. I believe he’ll be back stronger, and more focused than ever now that he has a son to consider. I think he’ll be back strong in 2022.”

Williams has taken advantage of his downtime to launch his “Marvelous Chili,” as well as a “Marvelous” clothing line and gear, and he’s also looking into purchasing property.

His is life was dramatically altered this past Thursday, when his girlfriend, Zuleyma, delivered his son, Attikus Williams, who weighed in at, as a ring announcer would say, a fit and ready 9-pounds.

As he prepares for his comeback, Williams and Cichon will promote an amateur show November 20Th at a venue to be determined.
“We’re hosting the show to help kids at our gym, Manchester ROCS (en CT),” the DiBella Entertainment promoted Williams remarked. “We want to do a couple a year.”

The 23-year-old Williams has already overcome the murder of his father when Mykquan was only one, in addition to having his family house burned to the ground 10 years later. A dislocated wrist has no chance of making him less than “Marvelous.”

On his upcoming bout against Aguilar:

“This is a chance to show how far I’ve grown as a fighter. I truly believe I’m the best version of myself and having Danny Zamora in my corner for this fight will be a big help. I want to put on a great performance that has people wondering how I would fare against top level guys. Aguilar is a tough durable guy who has been in the ring with some good fighters, so I know he’s coming to fight.”

On recent training camp:

“I’m wrapping up my final days of training camp in Madrid, Hispanio, and I’m feeling very strong. Being home, and refocusing, gave me a new perspective. I arrive to the U.S. #?I tiu #diman?o, which is plenty of time to acclimated to the time change. I feel more an enthused than ever.”

"Mi vere kredas, ke mi estas la plej bona kaj venanta batalanto en la ludo"



Nevenkita Leviĝanta Super Malpeza Prospect Hitchins Bataloj kontraŭ Iama Ĉampiono Argenis Méndez En Kunĉefa Evento Vive ĉe SHOWTIME? #?I tiu sabato, Decembro 12

Klako HERE por Fotoj de Mayweather Promotions

NOV-JORKO – Decembro 7, 2020 – Nevenkita altiĝanta perspektivo Richardson Hitchins dividis detalojn pri sia trejnejo, inkluzive de montriloj kaj instigo li ricevis de Floyd Mayweather kaj Gervonta Davis, antaŭ lia supermalpeza konflikto kontraŭ iama mondĉampiono Argenis Mendez vivu ĉe SHOWTIME ĉi-sabate, Decembro 12 #?E 9 P.M. ET/6 p.M. PT en okazaĵo prezentita fare de Premier Boxing Champions de Mohegan Sun Arena en Uncasville, Conn.

"Floyd ege helpis min dum mi estis reen en Las Vegas,”Diris Hitchins. “Mi jam havas la bazojn kiel batalanto, sed li montris al mi malgrandajn aferojn ĉi tie kaj tie kaj ekzercojn, kiujn mi kunportis hejmen dum mi trejnas por ĉi tiu batalo.. Mi ne estas timema pri mia kapablo kiel batalanto, ĉar mi vere kredas, ke mi estas la plej bona batalanto en la ludo, do ĉi tiuj estas la speco de bataloj kiujn mi bezonas por montri al la mondo kiu estas Richardson Hitchins.

"Gervonta estis instrumenta en pasintaj bataltendaroj ankaŭ, kaj li estas la speco de homo, kiun vi bezonas. Li puŝas vin iri pli forte. Ni iras kap-al-kapa provante superi unu la alian, kaj tio estas la speco de konkurado kiu estas bezonata por vere esti la plej bona."

Malgraŭ trejnado dum la pandemio, Hitchins povis resti sur tasko kaj survoje dum sia tendaro kiu komenciĝis en Las Vegas antaŭ finiĝi en sia indiĝena Broklino sub la gvidado de lia ĉeftrejnisto Lenny Wilson..

“La afero pri mi estas, Mi estas koncentrita negrave kio,”Diris Hitchins. "Mi ne demetas" post miaj bataloj. Mi restas en formo la tutan jaron; Mi ne bezonas prepariĝi pri kondiĉado aŭ refari mian korpon ĉar ĉi tio estas mia laboro. Mi prenas mian laboron tre serioze. La disciplino kiun Floyd havis dum sia kariero estas la sama disciplino kiun mi havas. Mi rigardis miajn idolojn kaj prenis aferojn de ili, por ke mi povu min venki.

"Mi ne pensas, ke la pandemio aŭ la ferioj nepre ŝanĝis mian trejnadon. Mi ankoraŭ havas aliron al mia gimnazio. Estas nenio, kio malhelpos mian manieron fariĝi bonega. La pandemio ne malrapidigas min, estas nur alia vojbaro testi mian dediĉon al la sporto."

La 23-jaraĝa Hitchins reprezentis Haition ĉe la 2016 Olimpikoj kaj revenos al la ringo post debuto en 2020 kun 10-raŭnda decidvenko super Nicholas DeLomba en februaro. Ĝi estis la dua 10-raŭnda decida venko de Hitchins post kiam lia antaŭa batalo vidis lin plej bone sekvi Kevin Johnson 10 rondoj en novembro 2019.

"Mi ofte pensas reen al mia batalo kontraŭ Kevin Johnson, li estas hardita batalanto kaj li estas tiu, kiun mi povas memcerte diri, alportis la plej bonan el mi,”Diris Hitchins. "Tiuj estas la bataloj, kiuj igas min rigardi malantaŭen kaj rigardi atente la aferojn pri kiuj mi devas labori. Tiu batalo ankaŭ montris al mi, ke neniu estu preteratentita, do enirante ĉi tiun batalon kontraŭ Mendez, Mi ne preteratentas lin."

Méndez prezentas la plej plenumeblan kontraŭulon de la juna kariero de Hitchins. La 34-jara iama ĉampiono plej lastatempe kontraŭbatalis Juan Heráldez kaj Anthony Peterson al remizoj. 2019, kaj gajnis venkojn super Eddie Ramirez kaj Ivan Redkach antaŭ tio. Por Hitchins, la forta resumo de lia kontraŭulo estas io, kion li ĝuas kiel mezurbastono por sia progreso.

“Li estas veterano, li estis tie kun multaj malmolaj uloj kaj li estas iama mondĉampiono, do li klare havas kapablon, kiun mi pensas, ke mi devas alfronti ĉi-momente en mia kariero,”Diris Hitchins. “Mi bezonas tiujn grandajn batalojn. Li estas pli maljuna nun, sed mi sentas, ke li en sia floro ankoraŭ ne povis tuŝi mian kapablon. Estas mia tasko pruvi tion.

"Mi scias, ke ĉi tio ne estos facila batalo, sed mi estos preta por ĉio, kion li alportos. Mia instigo estas esti pli ol ordinara. Mi plenumos miajn celojn kiam ĉi tio ĉio estos dirita kaj farita, kaj honeste, Mi nur atendas, ke ĉi tiu batalo venos, por ke mi povu montri tion. Ĉu ĝi estas Méndez, aŭ kiu ajn, la konvinko kiun mi havas kaj kiel mi sentas pri mi mem estas pli forta ol io ajn staranta antaŭ mi en tiu ringo.”

Feb. 28Th in Florida showdown vs. Unbeaten

NABO champion Yomar “The Magic” Alamo

LASa VEGAS (Februaro 20, 2020) – Undefeated super lightweightKendo “Tremendo” Castaneda (17-0, 8 KOs) has been in training camp since the beginning of this year in Boxers & Brawlers gym in his San Antonio hometown to prepare for his February 28Th fight against North American Boxing Organization (NABO) SenegalaYomar “The Magic” Alamo (17-0-1, 12 KOs) airing live on Boxeo Telemundo, Komencanta #?e 11:30 P.M. ET / 8:30 P.M. PT, from Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florido.

Alamo vs. Castaneda is co-promoted by All-Star Boxing, which promotes Alamo and the event, and Castaneda’s promoter, Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boksanta Antaŭenigojn.

“This is the biggest fight of Kendo’s career to date,” CEO & Co-FounderKeith Veltre said. “He is the type fighter who doesn’t back down from anyone and knows what it takes to get the win. Kendo trains hard and we are fully confident that he will come home with the win.”

 
The 26-year-old Castaneda, kiu estas vicigita Neniu. 15 De la Monda Boksa Organizo (WBO),  will take on WBO No. 8-rated Alamo, the defending NABO super lightweight champion, in the 10-round main event.

Castaneda captured the vacant North American Boxing Association (NABA) crown a year ago, taking a 10-round decision from previously undefeatedGilbert Venegas, Jr.(10-0), and followed that with an impressive 10-round unanimous decision over Dominican veteranEudy Berbardo (24-3).

Last October in Reno, Nevado, Castaneda stoppedStan Martyniouk (20-3) in the sixth round, after which he was installed by the World Boxing Organization as its No. 15 rated super lightweight in the world.

WBO No. 8 ranked Alamo, fighting out of Puerto Rico, is coming off the lone blemish on either fighter’s pro record, a draw withAntonio Moran (24-4-1).

Alamo, 24, is the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World and FECARBOX super lightweight champion, who has made three successful NABO title defenses.

Training Camp Notes

(quotes from Kendo Castaneda)

Training Camp: “Everything here has been good. I’m ready to rock and get back in the ring. I’ll have no trouble making weight for this fight. My sparring partners are local guys, some pros, and other amateurs. I like helping up-and-coming fighters who want to turn pro. They have natural speed at 18, 19 Jaroj malnova, but their strength hasn’t fully developed, yet. They learn and I get good work. My No. 1 sparring partner, Limon, has had more than 100 amateur fights. His style is similar to Alamo’s. He’s tall and lengthy, but not as powerful as Alamo. He throws great jabs and boxes well, which will help me when I fight Alamo.

Yomar Alamo:  “He fights off his back foot a lot. He likes to box and is a good counter-puncher.

He’s undefeated but who knows how he wants to fight?  I like razzle-dazzle and I’ll quickly learn what I’m in for.”

Fighting in Alamo’s backyard: “I’m not concerned about that at all. My first fight with RJJ Boxing was in Las Vegas against a local fighter, Chuy Gutierrez, and I won that fight. I don’t mind fighting in my opponent’s backyard and I’m getting used to it. My last fight was in Reno against a California fighter, who lived a lot closer to Reno than I do in San Antonio. And I fought a local fighter in New Hampshire, when I had a bare-knuckle fight.”

How do you envision this fight going:  “Alamo will go into the fight thinking it’s going to be a boxing match, almost like an exhibition starting the fight. But I’m going to go in strong, like a street fight, banging him around. I’ll catch him with some surprises, throwing hard blows. In the third or fourth round, I’ll start boxing more. Then it’s going to be too much for him, and I’ll take him out in the eighth or ninth round.”

Bout importance: “I think I’ll possibly get a world championship eliminator fight with an impressive victory. I’m a rare, old-fashioned boxer.”

Prediction:  “The referee will be announcing, ‘And the new NABO champion…..’”

If you look at my record, I’ve fought some very tough guys. I know I’m battle ready to take my career to the next level. Hawkins is going down.

On training camp…



“I wanted this camp to be very specific. I get good sparring at Bones Adams’ gym and a lot of top pros have come through there like Shakur Stevenson, Manny Pacquiao, and many others. I have watched how they trained, and I have used that same work ethic and principles for this camp with the supervision of my coaches.”



On his status as a contender…



“I’m now ranked 13 De la WBA, which makes me a contender. I must get past Hawkins, so believe me when I tell you I’m going to leave everything in the ring. I’m looking at this fight like it’s a world title. Losing is not an option.”



On making his SHOWTIME debut…



“I am excited to headline on ShoBox: La Nova Generacio. It’s a platform that launches fighters’ careers, and SHOWTIME has a fantastic and professional production crew. One goal from the beginning was to showcase my talent on a big stage like this, now I’m here. This is a very big opportunity for me, I’m not going to let it slip away.”

England’s Thomas Ward Wins In U.S. Debut With Impressive Unanimous Decision Over Jesse Hernandez

MULVANE, Kan. - Februaro 15, 2019 – Shohjahon Ergashev overcame a five and a half-inch height advantage recording a unanimous decision victory over fellow undefeated prospect Mykal Fox in the 10-round super lightweight main event of ShoBox: La Nova Generacio Friday on SHOWTIME from the Kansas Star Casino.



With famed trainer Sugarhill Stewart shouting instructions from his corner, the Detroit-based power-punching Ergashev (16-0, 14 KOs), by way of Fergana, Uzbekistan, did enough to beat the rangy 6-foot-4 Fox (19-1, 5 KOs) in a matchup of two exciting undefeated prospects. La poentaroj estis 96-94 Kaj 98-92 Dufoje (Klako HERE Rigardi).



“I didn’t think it was a close fight,” said Ergashev, who was only able to land two jabs the entire fight missing more than a hundred times. “He was awkward and his head was very low. He was very long and tall too, so it was hard to hit him in the head. I expected him to run all fight and he did.”



Ergashev did connect on 29 Procento de liaj potencaj stampiloj (66 Por 225) compared to Fox at 27 Procento (41 Por 153).



Ergashev said he was disappointed in his performance. “I come to fight," li diris. “I like fighters who stand and fight. I’m batalanto. I like guys who let me showcase my skills and bang. Fox wasn’t even boxing. He was just running around the ring. I wanted to sit down and fight.”



The 23-year-old Fox of Forest Hill, Md., one of the tallest fighters in the 140-pound division, said he agreed with one of the judges’ cards, but not the two 98-92s. “I knew it was close, and thought maybe I did enough to win,” said Fox, who did a nice job slowing the pace of the fight. “I think it was closer than 98-92. I took a few shots, but I knew he was going to be strong.”



Fox became the 186Th fighter to lose their undefeated record on the prospect developmental series.



Vulpo, who had his father Troy and brother and fellow professional boxer middleweight Alantez in his corner, became the ninth fighter in ShoBox history to have a brother who also fought on ShoBox joining brother duos like Jermall and Jermell Charlo, Andre and Anthony Dirrell and Glenn and Nonito Donaire.



En la komenca vico de la telecast, England’s Thomas Ward (26-0, 4 KOs) put on an impressive performance and showed U.S. fight fans he will be a force to be reckoned with in the wide-open 122-pound weight class as he won a unanimous decision against ShoBox veteran Jesse Hernandez (11-2, 7 KOs).Klako HERE to watch a recap.



Fighting for the first time in the States, the WBO No. 4-ranked Ward of West Rainton, Anglio, scored a fourth-round knockdown and took the 10-round super bantamweight fight easily against Fort Worth’s Hernandez. La poentaroj estis 100-89, 99-90 Kaj 98-90.



“I came to America and fought a home fighter and won quite comfortably, I even got a knockdown,” the 24-year-old Ward said. “He was supposed to be the puncher and I was supposed to be the boxer. A lot of people think I can’t punch, then they get over-confident and get clipped. Then they realize I can punch. Look at his face compared to mine. That will tell you something.”



Ward started strong, and seemed to get better as the fight went on. “He’s been on the gas from the opening bell, and he hasn’t gotten off it,” said International Boxing Hall of Famer and ShoBox play-by-play commentator Barry Tompkins in the final minutes of the 10Th kaj fina raŭndo.



Ward exceeded double-digit connects in every round and topped 30 in five of the final six rounds while Hernandez reached double digits just three times.



It was a clean left hook that sent Hernandez to the canvas in the final seconds of the fourth round (KlakoHERE Rigardi). Ward controlled the middle of the fight and landed consistent three-punch combinations against Hernandez, who at the end of round six was warned by referee Bill Clancy that he was taking a lot of punishment and had to show him something or he would stop the fight. At the top of the ninth, the referee still concerned about Hernandez lack of action, called the doctor and asked once again the same question. The doctor cleared Hernandez to continue.



Hernandez said he felt Ward’s power, and was impressed. ??Eah, he got me with that left, but I recuperated," li diris. “But all the credit to him. A knockdown is a knockdown.”



Ward said Hernandez asked for the fight, but wasn’t prepared for the it. “I knew he was a good, experienced fighter,"Ward diris. “He’s fought some good guys and knocked out some good guys. He’s supposed to be a puncher, but I was just on another level tonight.



“I wanted a good fight to showcase my skills and I’m glad the people on ShoBox got to see it.”

Shields and fellow undefeated champion Christina Hammer will meet on Saturday, Aprilo 13 live on SHOWTIME to crown the women’s undisputed 160-pound world champion.

UNDEFEATED SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT PROSPECTS SHOHJAHON ERGASHEV AND MYKAL FOX TO HEADLINE SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARO 15 LIVE SUR SHOWTIME®

Lasi rimarkon

NEW YORK - januaro 16, 2019 – A 10-round clash between undefeated super lightweight prospects will headline ShoBox: La Nova Generacio when Uzbekistan’s power-puncher Shohjahon Ergashev takes on Mykal Fox Friday, Februaro 15 live on SHOWTIME from Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane, Kan.

The second of two February editions of the prospect developmental series will feature four fighters with a combined record of 71 wins against just one loss. Undefeated super middleweight prospect Ronald Ellis will take on DeAndre Ware headlines a three-fightShoBoxtelecast on February 1.

In the February 15 co-featured fight, 28-Jaro-malnovaShoBox veteran Jesse Angel Hernandez returns to face WBO No. 4-ranked Thomas Ward in what will be the toughest test of his career in a 10-round super bantamweight bout.

“Shohjahon Ergashev is one of the hardest punchers in all of boxing. He will be facing a challenge in the undefeated skilled, determined fighter in Mykal Fox. A great fight the winner of which will cement himself as one of the best in the Jr. Welterweight division,” said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions. “The co main event is one of the best fights in the super bantamweight division between two proven world title contenders. A real cross roads fight with lots on the line for the winner to emerge as the new dominant name in the talent packed super Bantamweight division.”

The 27-year-old Ergashev (15-0, 14 KOs) is a former member of the Uzbek national team where he won 202 De lia 216 amateur bouts. A decorated amateur, Ergashev owns a win over Uzbekistan’s Shakhram Giyasov, a silver medalist in the welterweight division at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Ergashev, who started his pro career by registering 11 consecutive knockouts, faris sianShoBox debut in January 2018, handing then-unbeaten and top-10 ranked 140-pound prospect Sonny Fredrickson the only loss of his career with a third-round TKO. The southpaw slugger, who was named one of ESPN’s top prospects of 2018, trains in Detroit under Javan “Sugar” Hill Steward and Rick Phillips at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit.

“I’m very excited to fight on SHOWTIME again,” said Ergashev. “Everyone says Mykal Fox is my toughest opponent to date, but that doesn’t concern me. It actually excites me because when I knock him out, just like I knocked out Sonny Fredrickson, all of the champions in my weight class will know I am coming for them soon. It’s going to be Shoh-time in 2019!?

Unlike his opponent, Vulpo, 23, had a rocky amateur journey amassing 40 Gajnoj kaj 60 losses—two of his wins came over undefeated top prospect Lamont Roach. Vulpo, 6-Piedo 3 ½-inches from Forestville, Md., admitted that he was not disciplined and fully committed to the sweet science in his teenage years, but once he turned pro in 2014 everything changed and boxing became his way of life. Pro tio ke tiam, he has defeated all of his 19 Oponantoj, five by way of knockout. Vulpo, who is promoted by King Promotions, owns victories over the likes of former world champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley, Ricardo Garcia and Anthony Mercado.

Fox comes from a family of boxers. He is trained by his father Troy and his older brother and formerShoBox fighter Alantez (24-1-1, 11 KOs) is a 160-pound prospect whose only defeat came by the hands of Demetrius Andrade.

“It’s been a dream of mine to fight onShoBox. It has catapulted the careers of some of my favorite fighters,” said Fox, who is making his debut on the series. “I’m hoping it will catapult my career too.

“My opponent is a good fighter. He has good feet, good speed and great power. This is going to be a fight that can potentially steal the show. I look forward to seeing how our styles matched up.”

Hernandez (12-1, 7 KOs) broke onto the scene in 2017 with back-to-back wins over previously undefeated, top-15 ranked fighters onShoBox– a unanimous decision over Glenn Dezurn and a fifth-round TKO of Vladimir Tikhonov. Hernandez followed up those performances with a split-decision over Ernesto Garza in January 2018. The 28-year-old Hernandez, the youngest of 15 Infanoj, Estis 73-6 as an amateur and took five years off from boxing between 2009 Kaj 2014 to work construction jobs in his hometown of Fort Worth, Teksaso.

“On February 15, fans can expect to see the best performance from Jesse Hernandez yet,” said Hernandez, who will be making his fourth appearance onShoBox. “It’s been a long time coming and I won’t let this opportunity pass me. A win over Thomas Ward will definitely boost my career and hopefully lead to a world title shot. I know I will have all eyes on me on national television, I must impress. I believe the bantamweight division is mine for the taking. So I will go head and take what’s rightfully mine.”

Ward hails from County Durham in North East England, where he compiled an amateur record of 60 Gajnoj, just four losses. The 24-year-old turned professional in 2012 #?E la #a?o de 17 and by 2017, he had won 20 straight fights and the British super bantamweight title. Currently ranked No. 4 by the WBO, Ward hopes a win in his U.S. debut will set him up for a world title shot.

“This is a really good fight,” Dirita Kvartalon. “I’m looking forward to it and a win will put me in place for a world title fight, which is exactly what I want. It’s great to be boxing on SHOWTIME, I can’t wait and I hope for many more opportunities to be fighting on the network in the future.”

Super Prospect Shoh Ergashev Brutalizes Ramsey with First-Round KO, Saturday in Chicago

Lasi rimarkon

Uzbekistani super lightweight Shohjahon “Shoh” Ergashev showed why he’s the new 140-lb fighter to watch in boxing last Saturday, Novembro 10, at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago, as he destroyed opponent Zack Ramsey in the first round.

 

 

 

The current WBA International Super Lightweight Champion, Ergashev (Nun 14-0, 13 KOs), tore into Ramsey from the opening bell of their scheduled six-rounder, dropping him within the first 15 seconds with a right hand and finishing it at 1:09 with a thudding body shot.

 

 

 

Fighting on the undercard of the World Boxing Super Series Cruiserweight Tournament doubleheader Ergashev elicited “oohs and ahhhs” from the crowd with his brutal display of force. Former unified super lightweight and current welterweight champion Terence Crawford was among the impressed onlookers in the crowd.

 

 

 

Ergashev’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita, says that in preparation for this fight, Ergashev had been knocking out heavyweights in the Kronk Gym where he trains.

 

 

 

“Shohjahon is one of the hardest punchers in any weight class,” said Salita. “His skills and physical strength make him not only one of the best in his division, but I believe one of the most exciting and powerful fighters in all of boxing.”

 

 

 

26-year-old Ergashev growls that he’s ready for anyone in the world.

 

 

 

“I want to fight the best names in the division and look forward to having an opponent that can last some rounds with me! I am coming!?
