Davis of nearby Mays Landing, New Jersey is not the typical fighter who has dreams of winning a world heavyweight title, but he has bigger plans to help mold the youth of the Jersey Shore area as being a role model.

After eight amateur fights (record of 5-3), Davis turned professional by fighting a four round draw with Willie Harvey on August 15, 2015.
Davis got into the win column with a 26 second knockout over Santario Holdbrooks on 5 desember at The Claridge.
“Akkurat nå, I am getting by with my natural athletic ability. I do not know all of the ins and outs of boxing, but I have toughness and have been learning on the job,” Said Davis.
There has been a lot of improvement since I have started
In Morley, he is facing a durable guy, that has gone the distance in his first two outings.
I just know he is shorter and heavier then me. He is from Philadelphia, so that alone, I know he is a tough guy.
Davis is even more honest when it comes to his ceiling as a fighter.
My goal is to fight as long as the sport wants me. I want to have fights that will build my resume and give me the credibility to become a trainer for all athletes. I would like to instill what I know and my experiences with baseball, football and now boxing and become an all-around trainer and role model. There are people needed in the community that should be mentoring kids coming up and I feel that I can be that guy around here.
I want to thank my supporters. I am humbled that they spend their hard earned money to come see fight, and I am so appreciative of that.

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (Mars 15, 2016)–Denne lørdagen natt ved The Claridge Hotel in Atlantic City, Long Island based welterweight Tommy Rainone makes his debut on the boardwalk when he battles Maurice Chalmers in a eight round bout in a featured undercard bout of a 11-bout card promoted by Rising Promotions and Vincent M.Ponte’s Gulfstream Promotions.
I hovedturneringen, Thomas Lamanna tar på Kendal Mena in a eight round welterweight bout.
Rainone has a record of 24-7-1 with with five knockouts has long been a fan favorite in the Empire state, and the fight with Chalmers will fulfill a venue that has been on the 36 year-old’s bucket list.
I have fought in Madison Square Garden, Yankee Stadium, The Legendary Blue Horizon and Las Vegas. I have been wanting to fight in Atlantic City for a long time and Saturday it finally happens,” said Rainone.
What makes Rainone’s career even more fascinating is that he works a full-time job overnight working for Hilton Hotels in the accounting the department.
That makes for long days, working until the early morning, getting just a few hours of sleep and then going to the gym before his overnight shift.
I have not had a day off in seven weeks, but I will be ready to go på lørdag natt. I have had pretty good training and sparring. Now I am just maintaining my weight
In Chalmers, he is facing a veteran who has a record of 14-12-1 med åtte knockouts. Chalmers has knocked off three undefeated fighters, but Rainone is confident that his skills and preparation will be enough to get his hand raised.
I have seen him once in person. He defeated an undefeated guy and he was very aggressive that night. I have seen other fight’s where he sits back and is a counter puncher. I prepare for anything.
Since turning professional in 2006, Rainone has been an instant fan favorite, and he feels he owes a lot of support to the many supporters who have stuck by him through his whole career.
Without a fan base, you don’t get fights. I will have 100 or so fans down in Atlantic City. I owe everything to them.
Rainone believes his popularity is due large in part to him being just aneveryday guyand his fans can relate to him.
I always put on a good fight, but I am relate able. After the fights, I hang out with everybody. I am humble and I show the fans how much I appreciate him.
I sin siste kamp, Rainone took one of the step up fights that could have set him up for a major opportunity when he took on former junior middleweight champion Ishe Smith.
Rainone came up just short in that fight, but Rainone wanted to test himself against the former world champion.
That fight was a tall order. Ishe is the bigger man and a former world champion. I am not a junior middleweight. I tried very hard and I knew if I had won that fought, I would have been ranked in the top-ten.
Rainone is only planning to fight another couple of years and he still has the goals of every fighter, but he is taking his career fight by fight.
The goal is one fight at a time. I am excited to fight in Atlantic City. I want to fight at Barclays Center and again in Madison Square Square Garden as well fighting for a title back in Atlantic City.
I have done this the hard way throughout my career. I do not know who has done it the way I have. I have done this on my own without any alliance or any promoter and I am very proud what I have accomplished and I still have more to do.
Billetter til March 19th fight card are $50 GA, $75 Stage (very few remaining)& $125 VIP (SOLD OUT) (Booths av 5 available for $500SOLD OUT) and are available at RisingBoxingPromotions.com or 609-487-4444.

Las Vegas (Desember 18) – Den “forcewas with Cuban star and newly crowned lightweight world champion Rances Barthelemy (24-0, 13 KOs) as he won a 12-round unanimous decision over Russian southpaw Denis Shafikov (36-2-1, 19 KOs) in the headlining bout of the final Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) på Spike fight card of 2015. The four-fight telecast, which was supported by non-televised fights featuring some of Mayweather Promotions’ stigende stjerner, took place at the Pearl at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
Coming off of a luxury world tour, Floyd Mayweather returned stateside and sat ringside as promoter of tonight’s fights. The recently retired five-division world champion, who also learned today he was selected asSports Illustrated Fighter of the Year, was animated and engaged through the final bell of the evening.
The main event, which started off as a close toe-to-toe battle, ended in the Barthelemy’s favor as he swept the latter quarter of the bout. Shafikov controlled the beginning of the fight, staying in the pocket and throwing more powerful punches than Barthelemy as the Cuban had a difficult time adjusting to the significantly shorter, yet stronger, style of Shafikov.
The turning point of the fight occurred when a cut caused by a punch by Barthelemy opened up above Shafikov’s right eye in the eighth round. The blood began to poor furiously and referee Vic Drakulich called the ringside doctor over to inspect the cut. When the fight resumed, Barthelemy attacked the Russian’s eye and never let up for the remainder of the fight. He took advantage of the cut and coupled it with his height and reach advantage which led to a recipe for success as he is now a two-division world champion. The judges saw the bout 119-109 og 116-112 to ganger.
There were moments where I was trapped into my style of fighting. It took me a minute to adjust to Shafikov’s style and exchange punches with him,” Said Barthelemy. “I’m really happy with the number of punches I was able to get off.
I was really impressed with Shafiov’s warrior style. He never gave up even after getting hurt with punches that were affecting his fight. That really caught me by surprise and also that he was able to last the whole fight. The fact that he continued really says something about him as a fighter.
I’m not sure if I won the fight,” Said Shafikov. “I’m very disappointed and I want a rematch.
The co-main event saw a bizarre ending to what was to be a cruiserweight elimination bout. Detroit southpawIsiah Thomas (15-0, 6 KOs) was winning the fight on all three judgesscorecards through round three when Russian power-puncher Murat “Iron” Gassiev (22-0, 16 KOs) threw accidental late blows to Thomashead after the bell. The punches forced referee Jay Nady to make the tough call that the punchesdiminished the valueof Thomasability to continue. As the fight had not yet gone four rounds, unified rules state that the fight does not go to the scorecards, thus ruling it a no contest.
Chris Pearson (16-1 11 KOs), a promising super welterweight from Dayton, Ohio put his previously undefeated record on the line against fellow unbeaten Eric Walker (12-0, 6 KOs) of Plaquemine, Louisiana in the second televised bout. Walker came out strong, dominating the early rounds against Pearson, another member of the stable of rising stars from Mayweather Promotions. A wobbled Pearson persevered and attempted to turn the tide in an action-packed fifth round with a series of head shots.

The seventh round saw both fighters exchanging a brutal barrage of punches culminating with a fast-paced eighth and final round drawing a standing ovation from the crowd. The underdog Walker, who spent 13 years in Dixon Correctional Institute in Louisiana, scored a unanimous decision victory (79-71, 78-74, 80-72) winning the biggest fight of his life in front of a captivated national TV audience.

If you believe in God and work hard at what you’re doing, you’re going to succeed,” Said Walker. “Look at me now.
I had watched his previous fights and knew that my right hand would be too much for him and that I could land it anytime,” continued Walker. “My conditioning was really the difference tonight. I was in great shape and I was able to rely on that when the going got tough.

Pearson was disappointed in the decision and was left wanting a rematch.

I take my hat off to him,” said Pearson. “His punches were crisp and hard. I just couldn’t get going on anything consistently. I thought it was closer than the judgesscorecards and I definitely want a rematch as soon as possible.

I åpnings bout av kvelden, one of boxing’s fast rising stars, Gervonta “Den ene” Davis (14-0, 13 KOs) out of Baltimore put his undefeated record on the line against Mexico’s Luis Sanchez (17-5-1, 5 KOs) in a lightweight clash.

Davis, a 21-year-old protégé of Mayweather, lived up to his reputation as a budding superstar scoring a hard-fought ninth round knockout victory. Sanchez showed his toughness and resiliency as he forced Davis to fight three rounds longer than any fight of his career.Davis showed his speed and power in the eighth round as he landed an uppercut to knock down his determined opponent. In the ninth round, he threw a massive left hand to finish Sanchez, sending Mayweather to his feet in celebration.

It felt great to fight all of these rounds and get the work in,” Said Davis. “He’s a tough fighter and I learned a great deal tonight. It was a very good experience for me.
I just listened to my corner and Floyd, took my time and broke him down. I want to fight again as soon as possible for a world title.
Mayweather, who was very pleased with Davisperformance, sees the young undefeated fighter’s future as bright.
It’s always good to go out there and get the W,” Said Mayweather. “Han er ung. He’s still learning. We’re looking forward to him being a world champion some day.
Mayweather relished in the opportunity to promote one of the final fights of the year in his hometown of Las Vegas saying, “I’m so happy we were able to showcase on national television some of the talented fighters we have at Mayweather Promotions. Vinner eller taper, I am proud of all of them.
More importantly I want to wish everyone Happy Holidays and thank for them supporting me, Mayweather Promotions and The Money Team throughout all of these years. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

WESTBURY, N.Y.. (Mars 9, 2015) – Ubeseiret mellomvekt Antoine Douglas(16-0-1, 10 KOs) er en av boksing raskest stigende prospekter. Bare 23 år, den aggressive og spennende Washington, D.C, innfødte vil gjøre sin 2015 debutFredag, Mars 13 mot andre ubeseiret Thomas Lamanna (16-0, 7 KOs) i hovedturneringen av ShoBox: Den nye generasjonen, leve på SHOWTIME (10 pm. OG/PT, forsinket på vestkysten).

Douglas, som er 1-0-1 i to ShoBox opptredener, er ute etter å bevise at han har gjort seg fortjent til kallenavnet “Handling” når han møter en motstander som – som seg selv – har aldri tapt eller berørt lerretet. Enda viktigere, han tar sikte på å fortsette å slette noen tvil om hans fremtid som en kandidat på 160 pounds. Douglas har vunnet to på rad siden boksing en hardt kjempet 10-runde flertall uavgjort med tidligere verdensmester tittelen challengerMichel Soro (23-1-1 går i) siste Juli 25 på ShoBox.

Her er hva Douglas hadde å si som han forbereder seg for en avslapnings 2015:

Hvordan vil du si din karriere går?
“Karrieren min går bra så langt. Jeg er veldig fornøyd med tempoet i min karriere. Jeg er akkurat der vi ønsker å være, og i posisjon for et stort år.”

Verken en av dere har blitt slått ned som en profesjonell. Forventer du at for å endre på Mars 13?
“Jeg forventer ikke noe å gå inn i en kamp. Jeg ønsker bare å sette på et stort show og sette på en stor kamp. Gi det min alle.”

Du har møtt tøffere motstand som en proff. Hvordan holder du deg fokusert og ikke se forbi en motspiller?
“Dette er sporten boksing og ett slag kan endre noen kamp. Noen fighter har evnen til å skade meg så jeg ikke overse noen. Lamanna er ubeseiret. Han har aldri tapt, så jeg kan ikke se forbi ham. Alt kan skje der.”

Hva vet du om Lamanna og hva slags kamp forventer du?
“Jeg vet at han er høy og har en lang rekkevidde. Jeg vet virkelig ikke hva du kan forvente. Jeg vet at han har en tendens til å låse opp for å prøve å bo i en defensiv posisjon. Jeg trenger å dra nytte av det ved å gå på offensiven.”

Etter hva du har overvunnet som en unggutt, anser du deg selv en overlevende? Gjorde boksing redde deg?
“Jeg ville ikke vurdere meg selv bare en overlevende. Jeg ville vurdere selv en fighter. Jeg hadde mye å kjempe for i min ungdom. Boksing hjalp meg å få gjennom mine problemer. Det ga meg med instruksjon og disiplin. Rundt en alder av 14 Jeg virkelig tok kontroll over mitt liv og ble en mann. Jeg følte at jeg trengte å behandle meg selv som en mann.

“Da jeg var i fosterhjem på 14, mine to foresatte delt opp og jeg var i en posisjon der jeg trengte å gjøre en beslutning om å velge hvilken vei å gå ned. Jeg ville ikke være i den posisjonen jeg er i dag hvis jeg ikke ta avgjørelsen jeg har gjort. Det var ikke folk rundt meg å peke meg i riktig retning, Jeg var på min egen. Hvis det var folk som var støttende for meg, Jeg hadde ikke forventet det. Jeg var i den posisjonen at jeg var å gjøre beslutningen utelukkende for meg selv.”

Får alvorlige her – din mor var inn og ut av livet ditt vokser opp. Hva holder du så lojal mot henne etter alt det du har vært gjennom?
“Jeg forstår at alle går gjennom ting i livet. Det er lett å fortelle dem hva de skal gjøre. Det tar mye å sette din stolthet til side for å ta hensyn til hva folk går gjennom. For mange mennesker setter seg selv først over andre. Jeg tok et skritt tilbake og innså at alt skjer for en grunn, og se hvordan jeg slått ut i dag. Min mor og jeg har et godt forhold nå fordi jeg var forståelse for hennes situasjon og ikke ta noe hun gjorde med vilje eller tror at det var rettet mot meg.”

Hva lærte du av din siste ShoBox kjempe versus Soro)?. Du se den gjør som en positiv eller negativ?
“Jeg ser på kampen med Soro som en positiv. I den kampen fikk jeg ned i vekt, den minste jeg har vært på en stund. Jeg var på 155 i stedet for min vanlige vekt av 160. Shedding pounds virkelig hatt en stor innvirkning på kampen, og jeg innså at jeg er en mellomvekt og føler deg komfortabel på 160.”

At Soro kampen ble kalt et flertall uavgjort — var at en skuffelse for deg? Hvordan lærte du av det?
“Det var en stor skuffelse for meg å få en uavgjort, men vi vet nå ikke å gå noe mindre enn 160. Det er det viktigste vi har lært i den kampen. Det er slikt som blir altfor disiplinert. Folk la merke til hvor tynn jeg var for at kampen, men å være en disiplinert fighter jeg var fast bestemt på å gjøre vekt. Mange motstandere ville ikke ha tatt den kampen, men det var en mulighet for at jeg ønsket å dra nytte av. Jeg trodde det var en god beslutning på den tiden, men jeg har lært en verdifull lekse.”

Du banket en fyr tann ut i ditt første ShoBox kampen (Jan. 17, 2014, versus Marquis Davis) og moren din stjal showet i din siste opptreden. Hva har du i butikken for seere på Mars 13?
“Jeg mener, Jeg bare planlegger for en stor kamp. Det er alt jeg kan garantere. Jeg er ikke en for overtro [Fredag The 13th]. Jeg kan bare garantere at det vil være en stor kamp.”

Hva er din største styrke? Er du ute etter knockout eller tror du at du kan gå 10 runder og få seieren på den måten?
“Jeg tror jeg kan banke for 10 runder, men at alt avhenger av motstanderen. Noen gutter er sterke nok som kan gå hele 10 runder. Jeg går inn og prøver å påføre den mest mengden av skade fra åpningen klokken.

“Min største styrke er min vilje og besluttsomhet. Det er aldri et øyeblikk der jeg ønsker å gi opp. Selv om jeg får vondt i ringen, Jeg vil ikke gi etter for fighter. De er de tanker som går gjennom hodet mitt.”

Jerry Odom er også på dette kortet, og dere begge er fra DC-området. Du har uttalt at dere to er som romkamerater. Hva betyr det å ha ham på kortet med deg?
“Det betyr mye for meg. Vi kommer fra tilsvarende små kår og for oss å være på samme kort er historisk for oss. Vi begge bære samme felles mål, og vi har mye som vi kjemper for. Å kunne gjøre dette på en så stor scene på SHOWTIME og bevise alle naysayers galt betyr alt for oss. Det gjør det så mye mer verdt det og oppfylle for oss, spesielt hvis vi begge få seieren.”

Din prediksjon?
“Jeg spår en seier. Jeg har trent og jobbet veldig hardt for dette, og jeg er klar til å sette på et show.”

I co-feature, ubeseiret southpaw Ismael Barroso (16-0-2, 15 KOs), El Tigre, Venezuela, vil skyte for hans 13 sammenhengende seieren når han møter Issouf “Volcano” Kinda (17-2, 7 KOs), Bronx, N.Y., i en 10-runde skrap for NABO Lightweight tittel. I en åtte-runde omtalt bout, gang-beaten Jerry “Kongens Son” Odom (12-1, 1 NC, 11 KOs), Washington D.C, vil prøve og hevne sin lone tap når han tar på seg ubeseiret Andrew “Orkan” Hernandez (8-0-1, 1 ND, 1 KO) av Phoenix, Arizona., i en super mellomvekt omkamp. I åpnings bout, Adam Lopez (9-0, 4 KOs), San Antonio, og Houstons Pablo Cruz (11-0, 3 KOs) sammenstøt i en åtte-runde kamp av Lone Star State super bantamweights.
