WBC Asia Champion Neeraj Goyat Co-Headlines Let Battle Commence IV on the 29th May – Live on FITE TV
Indian Star Neeraj Goyat, who was set to fight Amir Khan in 2019 makes his UK Debut in Aberdeen


Six time, five division World Champion and Promoter Lee Mcallister announced that he and World Boxing Council (WBC) Asia Welterweight Champion Neeraj戈亞爾 will co-headline LET BATTLE COMMENCE IV, that takes place on the 29th May 2021 and broadcast live on 精視電視, as well as further linear and digital channels globally.


Reigning WBC Asia Champion Goyat is probably the best known Indian boxer by fans of the pugilistic arts, following the announcement back in 2019 that he was to face 阿米爾汗 in a mega fight in Saudi Arabia, unfortunately prior to the much anticipated showdown, Goyat was seriously injured in a car crash and had to pull out, Khan fought Australia’s Billy Dib.


Goyat fully recovered from his injuries and immediately got back to winning ways, in his most recent contest, that took place at the Majestic Pride Ship, Panjim, India back in March this year Goyat knocked-out Sandeep Kumar after just 34 seconds of the fourth round.


On making the announcement McAllister said, “I’m a big fan of Neeraj.


“We had planned to bring him to the UK back in 2019, but when the opportunity to fight Amir was put on the table I just tore up the contract. Fighting Amir on an internationally broadcast event was a huge opportunity for Neeraj and I wasn’t going to stand in the way.


“To say I was gutted the fight didn’t happen is an understatement as the fans world-wide would have seen just how talented Neeraj is.


“So here we are two years later and finally we are going to have Neeraj fight on one of our shows and unlike when we were originally bringing him over, now our events are televised, so finally fans worldwide will get to see just what an immense talent he is.”


In mid-March 2020, like all sporting events, Professional Boxing shows world-wide were cancelled, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.


UK Government restrictions were relaxed in July 2020 so that sporting events could resume, however with the proviso that no spectators would be allowed to attend. With this in mind McAllister joined forces with the British & Irish Boxing Authority (BIBA) to create a series of Professional Boxing events that take place ‘Behind Closed Doors’.


就職 LET BATTLE COMMENCE 事件, that took place behind closed doors at the Northern Hotel in Aberdeen on Saturday 18th July 2020, was headlined by longtime WBO Featherweight King 斯科特·哈里森 versus PBC International Champion Paul Peers. The main support featured the professional debut of ten time Kickboxing World Champion Caitlin Foran.


LET BATTLE COMMENCE II, took place on Friday 4th September 2020 and was headlined by PBC & WBU International Champion Nathan Beattie versus UK based Nicaraguan Julio Bendana. The undercard featured no less than three female contests, including two of the UK’s top female amateur boxers, Hollie Towl 和 Eleanor Coulson, making their professional debuts, this event also took place behind closed doors in Aberdeen.


The third edition, LET BATTLE COMMENCE – THE LIONESSES, that takes place on Saturday 24th April 2021 is set to enter the record books as the first all Female professional boxing event to take place not only in the UK but also the first in Europe.


Joining the much lauded duo McAllister 和 Goyat on the 29th May 2021 LET BATTLE COMMENCE IV 是;


PBC/WBU International Super Lightweight Champion Nathan Beattie, rising unbeaten Super Featherweight prospect Kevin Traynor, stylish unbeaten Heavyweight prospect Craig Dick, unbeaten Middleweight prospect Adam Stewart, local Heavyweight Liam Allan makes his second professional outing, whilst Indian Featherweight Sukhdeep Singh makes his professional debut.


LET BATTLE COMMENCE IV co-headlined by Lee Mcallister 和 Neeraj戈亞爾 will take place behind closed doors at the Northern Hotel, Aberdeen on the 29th May 2021 and will be broadcast live on 精視電視 as well as further linear and digital channels globally (please check local listings)

THE UK’S NEXT BOXING SUPERSTAR, UNDEFEATED SUPER BANTAMWEIGHT SHABAZ ‘THE MAVERICK’ MASOUD, SIGNS ON AS ATHLETE BRAND AMBASSADOR FOR BRAINS PURE CBD

發表評論
Reaffirming its committed support of professional boxing around the world, Brains Bioceutical Corp., a leading manufacturer of THC-free cannabidiol (CBD) 產品, proudly announces the addition of one of the UK’s most promising young prospects, undefeated super bantamweight Shabaz “The Maverick” Masoud (7-0, 1 KO), to its growing stable of athletic brand ambassadors.

With the foot-speed of a laser pointer, an awkward but virtually impregnable defense, and blazingly fast hands that seldom miss the mark, the 25-year-old British Pakistani native of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, in the UK often bears an uncanny stylistic resemblance to his superstar idol, former featherweight showman Prince Naseem Hamed.

Undefeated in his young professional career, the formidable Masoud is yet to lose even a single round on any judge’s scorecard. Masoud will proudly adorn his trunks with Brains Pure CBD branding on Friday, 三月 19, when he faces countryman Louis Norman at Bolton Whites Hotel in Bolton, Lancashire, UK and streaming live on ESPN+at 1:00 pm EST/10:00 am PST. The IFL TV broadcast of the card is expected to start at 7:30 下午 (GTM).

“We are in the hurt business,” said Masoud, “and bumps and bruises and even nagging injuries are just part of the game. Brains Pure CBD really helps with the wear-and-tear my body goes though in training camp everyday. Not only does it help to speed my recovery time from minor injuries, but it also helps me get to sleep at night, so I’m always my best in the gym. And it’s not full of mystery chemicals that might get you in trouble with the boxing commissions.


“Brains is all-natural, plant-based product with zero prohibited THC. That’s clinically researched and tested by leading sports authorities. Like with any opponent, I did my research and have found that not all CBDs are created equally. Brains is the only CBD I trust. I’m very happy to be partnering with them on a product I very much believe in for my run to the world championship.”

Brains Bioceutical, who have sponsored several recent boxing events worldwide, have also joined forces with 18-0 welterweight standout Custio Clayton of Canada, MTK’s recent “The Golden Contract” Light Heavyweight tournament and world-renowned UK-based trainer of champions, Ben Davison’s state-of-the-art Performance Centre, located outside London, 英國.

Incidentally, Davison, who has worked with a long list of boxing luminaries including Josh Taylor and Billy Joe Saunders, as well as heavyweight king Tyson Fury previously, has given Masoud an important seal of approval by signing on as his trainer.

“Masoud has the potential of a pound-for-pound-level fighter,” said Davison. “I believe he can achieve that. He’s like Naz was in his prime and he has all the same swagger and showmanship. He’s also a good kid who works hard in the gym to reach his goals. That’s why I was happy to find out he had been acquired by the Brains Bioceutical people who are innovating CBD’s countless benefits for an athletes’ rest and recovery.”


Brains will also have a presence on the ring canvas at the Hotel Plaza in Quebec City, 加拿大, 週二, 三月 16, for promoter Yvon Michel’s upcoming event “The Homecoming,” his first in 16 個月. 該 $29.99 PPV card is headlined by a rematch featuring WBC #1 bridgerweight Oscar “Kaboom” Rivas (26-1, 18 科斯) and Sylvera “Sly” Louis (8-5, 4 科斯) 在八輪的主要事件.

“Shabaz Masoud is a welcome addition to our worldwide team of athlete ambassadors,” said Ricky Brar, 首席執行官 & 主席, Brains Bioceutical Corp. He has the skills and the personality to become boxing’s newest superstar and Brains Pure CBD will be right by his side.”

“As the makers of one of the world’s purest CBD products, tested by a World Anti-Doping Agency approved lab, Brains Pure CBD is ideal for fighters,” Brar continued. We’re proud of our roles in the lives of some of the bravest competitors in all of sport.”

“The Homecoming” will be livestreamed by FITE worldwide on the FITE mobile app, all major OTT apps and website (FITE.tv), 開始 8 P.M. AND / 5 P.M. PT, for USD $29.99 (available in English or French). It will also be available in Canada via Canal Indigo, 貝爾電視, Shaw TV and YOOP for $39.99 CDN.

TWO LIVE TV EVENTS FROM SCOTLAND SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST EXCLUSIVELY LIVE ON FITE TV

Nathan Beattie vs Milton Arauz headlines 1st August and 6 time World Champion Lee McAllister vs Edwin Palacios headlines 15th August

Following the success of the inaugural LET BATTLE COMMENCE, in association with PAPA JOHN’S PIZZA & NEON ENERGY DRINK, that took place at the Northern Hotel in Aberdeen last weekend, promoter Lee Mcallister has announced two more events in the series which will be broadcast live and exclusive on FITE TV on Saturday 1st August and Saturday 15th August 2020.

Back on the 18th July the fans of the pugilistic arts around the world watching LET BATTLE COMMENCE 1 on FITE TV were treated to the spectacle of the return to the fray by Lineal World Boxing Organization (WBO) Featherweight World Champion Scott Harrison, who faced and stopped Professional Boxing Council (PBC) International Champion Paul Peers in a non-championship six rounder.

Prior to Harrison-Peers the fans tuned in watched an incredible Battle Royale between 10 time Kick Boxing World Champion Caitlin Foran, who was making her professional boxing debut, and Professional Boxing Council (PBC) International Bronze Champion Jaime Bates, who stepped in as late replacement after original opponent Carly Mackenzie broke two toes in a riding accident the previous weekend. After six incredibly closely fought rounds Foran secured the victory by a close 58-56 points tally.

The third fight of the night was a fantastic all action War between undefeated Lewis Mulberry and Nicaragua’s Johnson Tellez. I’m sure those watching on TV were as enthralled with the action as much as myself, Mulberry’s ring name is “Machine Gun’ and believe me that is a most appropriate moniker, 作為 19 year old peppered the body of his far more experienced opponent with fast and powerful left and rights at a mega rapid pace. After six scintillating all action rounds, Referee Edward Law’s scorecard read 60-54 in favour of the teen sensation Lewis Mulberry.

Prior to Mulberry-Tellez Perth’s Adam Stewart (1-0-0) made his return to the ring against late replacement Nicaragua’s Alexander Zeledon, following an injury sustained by original opponent Liverpool’s Steve Sunners (4-0-0). Earlier this year Zeledon beat Manchester’s Dan Booth (4-1-0), so not an easy opponent, regardless of his negative record, 為 25 year old Stewart who returned to the fray following a three year sabbatical.

What a cracking fight, both protagonists went at it hammer and tongs for close to four rounds before Stewart’s power came into play late in the fourth. With around 25 second or so of the round remaining Stewart fired a massive Exocet to send the Nicaraguan to the deck, Zeledon was clearly in pain as he unsuccessfully tried to make it to his feet. Official time of stoppage 2 minutes and 40 seconds of the fourth round.

The opening fight of the night see 18 year old Heavyweight Liam Allan from Aberdeen make his professional debut against Puerto Rican Jose F Leon. Cracking opening round, but in the second Allan’s mature approach, that belied his tender years, really came into play.

As the second stanza progressed, Allan worked behind his superb jab to fashion some good openings, which he took without a second thought. Just about mid way through the second round one such opening enabled the youngster to let rip with a massive shot that sent Leon to the deck. Leon made the count and boxing resumed, then with around 30 seconds of the round remaining Allan created another opening and once again let rip and landed a big shot to send the South American to the canvas for a second time, the tough Puerto Rican tried to make it to his feet again but just failed to make the count, official time of the stoppage was 2 minutes and 40 秒.

The first August event, LET BATTLE COMMENCE II, in association with PAPA JOHN’S PIZZA and NEON ENERGY DRINK, takes place at the Northern Hotel in Aberdeen and broadcast live and exclusive by FITE TV on Saturday 1ST AUGUST 2020.

The line-up for the 1st August is:

1) 輕量級

PBC & WBU International Champion Nathan Beattie (10-4-0) has a seriously tough night ahead, when he steps in the ring with Nicaraguan Milton Arauz (10-3-1)

2) 超輕量級

A truly mouthwatering contest sees PBC International Bronze Champion Nicola Hopewell go toe to toe with exciting Tasha Boyes from York, 誰將會使她的專業首演.

3) 中量級

Liverpool’s Scott Mcintyre (4-1-0) will take on the seriously tough Nicaraguan Wilmer Gonzalez (21-18-1), who just a few fights back KOd a certain British WBF European and International Champ.

4) 超羽量級

Denny’s Kevin Traynor (2-0-0) will need to be at his best when he takes on the exciting Greek battler Paris Stavropoulos (2-1-0), who makes his first appearance in the UK.

5) 重量級

The final fight of the night will pit debutant against debutant as Craig Dick takes on Michael Bassett, both the big lads have stated they will be looking to make a big impression on the 1st August.

The second of the August events, LET BATTLE COMMENCE III, in association with PAPA JOHN’S PIZZA and NEON ENERGY DRINK will take place at the Northern Hotel in Aberdeen and broadcast exclusively live on FITE TV on Saturday 15TH AUGUST 2020.

The line-up for the 15th August is:

1) 中量級

Six time, Five Division World Champion, and Promoter of the LET BATTLE COMMENCE series, Lee McAllister steps in to replace Malta’s Brandon Borg to face Gerona, Spain based Nicaraguan Edwin Palacios in the headline fight, definitely a much tougher fight for Palacios than what he was expecting, but the macho South American has stated he’s up to the challenge and to expect fireworks.

2) 羽量級

Sensational Teen former Amateur Star Hollie Towl will be making her professional debut against equally sensational World Boxing Council (WBC) Muay Thai World Champion Natacha De Almeida from Switzerland, who will also be making her professional boxing debut.

3) 中量級

Nathan Russo versus Wilmer Gonzalez – this highly anticipated clash of the Big Bangers was originally due to have been on the first LET BATTLE COMMENCE show in the series, but had to be rescheduled due to a minor injury suffered by Russo. Without a doubt this is going to be a highly exciting all action contest, how long it’ll last is anyones guess, as Russo has won every fight so far by KNOCKOUT and Gonzalez has 14 KOs on his record, including a huge upset KO win over a certain World Boxing Foundation (WBF) European and International Champion last year.

4) 次中量級

Instead of the anticipated rematch against Dean Porter, Leeds’ Jack Jones, will now face Nicaraguan hard man Michael Isaac Carrero, following original opponent Porter having to withdraw.

5) 最輕量級

Local lad Kenny Allan faces Chadwell Heath, Surrey’s Jordan Smith in the opening contest of the night, Allan will be looking to secure his second victory in his fledgling career, whilst Smith will be seeking to get the first win on his record on this just his third pro outing.

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH 10 TIME WORLD KICKBOXING CHAMPION CAITLIN FORAN AHEAD OF HER PRO BOXING DEBUT

發表評論
With this pandemic lockdown in full force virtually world-wide, many fights have been already been cancelled, from the biggest, such as Anthony Joshua versus Kubrat Pulev, right through to many small hall events.


Whilst clearly the lockdown is affecting everyone involved in our beloved sport, it made me think of those that had been preparing for their professional boxing debut, such as today’s victim, sorry guest, Caitlin Foran, who was due to debut in Orkney on the 25th April.


Caitlin is a ten time Kickboxing World Champion, quite an accomplishment for someone that is still just 19 歲, let’s face it to achieve such a high status in any sport at such a young age is quite an accomplishment and without doubt her extensive combat sports experience is going to benefit her when this pandemic is over and she makes her pro debut.


I actually had the pleasure of meeting Caitlin back in March at an event in Barrow-in-Furness, where she was supporting Paul Peers when he challenged, and beat, Nicaraguan Milton Arauz for the Professional Boxing Council (PBC) International title, and always intended to cover her pro debut, but with that put back until later in the year due to the current situation decided instead to arrange an interview with her.


Enough of my waffle, let’s get to know this amazing teen star a little better.




(GDC) Hello Caitlin, thank you for taking the time to answer a few questions for us. My first question is I understand you are a multi-World Champion Kick Boxer, can you please tell our readers a little about your Kick Boxing career?




(CF) So I started kickboxing in 2008 at the age of eight, at the time I was juggling kickboxing with lots of other sports and activities but over time my attention just stuck with kickboxing and it became my life.


I certainly wasn’t one of these people that had a talent for the sport. I wasn’t flexible, I had no confidence, but the one thing I did have that has carried me through to this day is determination.


Living on an island we weren’t able to get to as many competitions as other clubs on the mainland could which meant we knew we had to really put in the extra effort to make up for the lack of experience.


Also coming from a large family where my mother was a single parent to 5 children meant I rarely was able to get away to compete and didn’t really start competing properly until I got my black belt in 2011.


I then started competing usually once a month with the first big one being the WKA Scottish championships in Glasgow where I won 2x golds, that was my first big confidence booster and I went on to compete more often winning more Scottish titles as well as British and European.


I then got invited to my first world championships in 2013 in Italy where I came away with a bronze medal.


I always preferred points fighting when I was competing, which is a more karate style, ‘start stop’ style of fighting, but at my second World championships in Prague in 2014, there was a woman without a fight for her ring Continuous section so I was asked if I would take the fight.


I’ve never been one to turn down a fight so I took the fight and ended up winning it as well as two others so I came away with my first three World titles and new love for ring fighting.


從 2014 到 2017 I went on to win seven more World titles in various countries.


由 2016/17 my kickboxing career was really taking off and I was looking at turning professional sometime soon, however at the end of 2017 my coach Ryan Reffell sadly passed which put an end to my kickboxing career.


(GDC) What influenced you to switch from Kick Boxing to Professional Boxing?


(CF) As I mentioned previously, I have never been a naturally flexible person so in kickboxing my legs were predominantly used for powerful body single kicks.


While I was still training with Ryan as part of Nemesis Kickboxing, at the end of 2015 we decided I was getting better with my hands and started thinking about switching to boxing.


This lead Ryan to start boxing classes on a Monday night as well as the kickboxing classes through the week.


I was offered my first fight that September with 4 days notice for the UKBC featherweight international title. I went on to win the fight and defended it in a rematch that December.


2017 was when I really started to focus more on boxing and less on kickboxing and had two more fights, with the last fight in my unlicensed career being a Five Nations title fight in April 2017 which brought my record to 4-0-0.


I thought my boxing career had ended then, until Paul Peers moved to Orkney in 2018 and got in touch via Facebook which then kickstarted my training again as he showed great interest in my boxing and was a massive help in getting my love for the sport back and showed that he believed in me which made me more confident in myself and got myself back to training properly again ahead of signing my professional contract in January this year.


(GDC) You were due to be undertaking your professional boxing debut in Orkney on the 25th April, obviously this is being rescheduled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, so firstly how have your preparations been going?


(CF) 是的, it was devastating when all this started but I am making sure to keep as active as I can with daily running and home exercises making use of the little space I do have at home.


(GDC) Has the Government ordered lockdown had an effect on your preparations?


(CF) Prior to lockdown we were getting sparring in at least once or twice a week at the club and had started our partnership with Lee Mcallister at Assassin’s boxing in Aberdeen in order to mix Orkney Boxing Clubs fighters with theirs for some sparring at weekends.


We only managed this once so far with weather being bad and boats not certain to run but were planning more in the lead up to the show.


(GDC) When the lockdown ends and the new date is announced, your opponent is stated to be Carly Mackenzie, do you know much about her?


(CF) I was originally due to fight Carly Mackenzie however my opponent recently changed to Professional Boxing Council (PBC) International Silver Champion Jamie Bates Wallis. I don’t know a great deal about Jamie to be honest but from what I’ve seen she is a strong orthodox boxer with a strong offence and sharp defence.


I took the fight knowing it would be a challenge especially being my first fight back in 3 歲月.
She’s proved to be a champion so in order for me to become a champion I must beat champions.


(GDC) Moving away from your career to date, who is your favourite boxer, 男女不限, and why?


(CF) My favourite boxer to date has got to be Katie Taylor. She has played a massive part in getting Women’s boxing to where it is today and is a real inspiration to any athlete out there as she has shown that any obstacle can be overcome if you really want something.


(GDC) In the same vein, which is your all time favourite fight, and why?


(CF) It is so hard to choose a favourite fight but one has to be Katie Taylor’s most recent fight against Christina Linardatou as she continued her winning record and added WBO Super-Lightweight world title to her ever growing list of achievements. Usually Taylor would be getting stuck into the fight, firing shot after shot. However she kept to the outside this time boxing smart and not wasting energy.


(GDC) Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions, finally is there anyone you would like to mention with regard to your upcoming debut?


(CF) I would like to give thanks to my sponsor, Gary Sutherland at GSRI, Steven Logie at Strength 101 for keeping me in shape and Paul Peers for everything he has done over the last year and a half to get my confidence back up and reignite my love for boxing. I would also like to give a shout out to all of my old teammates at Nemesis kickboxing Academy and Nemesis Boxing Gym without them I wouldn’t be where I am today.

About The Kiyan Prince Foundation:

The Kiyan Prince Foundation was established in 2008 in memory of Kiyan Prince, Dr Prince’s fifteen-year-old son and a talented footballer who was stabbed in the heart, whilst trying to break up a fight, outside his school gates. This devastating tragedy marked the beginning of a journey which has not only transformed Dr Prince’s life but also equipped him with the knowledge and skills to support families and help prevent similar cases. In this process, he has had to defeat two of life’s toughest challenges – anger and revenge, find the strength to forgive and the commitment to substitute anger with positive life skills.

About Kiyan Prince:

Kiyan Prince was the first son born to Mark Prince and Tracy Cumberbatch on 25th November 1990.

He was an outgoing and well loved young man who got along with everybody. Teachers, fellow pupils, Queens Park Rangers football team… in fact anyone who came into contact with Kiyan counted it a privilege to have done so.

5月18日 2006 Kiyan’s life came to a tragic, untimely and unnecessary end. The loving nature, by which he was known, was what made him step in and defend his friend who was being picked on by another youth.

The incident took place outside the gates of his school, the London Academy, located in Edgware North London. Kiyan attempted to resolve the situation in the most peaceable way by directly challenging the aggressor.

The ‘killer’, 16 year old Hannad Hasan, felt that Kiyan had disrespected him because he stood up to him. He then turned and callously killed Kiyan – plunging a knife straight into his chest. Kiyan died of a single, but fatal, stab wound to his heart.

Kiyan, who played for Queens Park Rangers Under-16’s football team. He was dubbed ‘The Bullet’ because of his speed and he was hailed as the next Wayne Rooney… tipped to play for England.

Kiyan was a beautiful, thoughtful, kind and considerate young man. . How he lived was reflected in the way he died… in probably the last words he ever spoke…

Even though he must have been very scared and in pain… in dying he still represented the life he lived. His heart was so full of love and empathy for others. In his final minutes his thoughts were, 即使這樣，, still of others. As he lay bleeding he told his friends: “if these are my last words… tell my Mum I love her.”

About Mark Prince:

Dr Mark Prince is CEO and Founder of the Kiyan Prince Foundation, a charity borne out of pain, suffering and grief. Through a series of personal challenges (無家可歸, drugs and alcohol abuse and criminal activity); triumphs and tragedy, the then known Mark Prince, developed a burning desire to support young people embroiled in a downward spiral of urban violence. The devastating tragedy of his son’s murder in 2006 further confirmed the importance of early intervention in a young person’s life in order to prevent what often seems like an inevitable journey into despair.

Education and Sport:

A significant part of the foundation’s work is to target school aged children and young people from primary through to secondary and tertiary education, through mentoring, life skills and training programmes. Being a professional boxer achieving titles such as the IBF and WBO Inter-continental Light-heavy weight Championship by (1997) and fighting for a world title in 1998, Dr Prince has invaluable skills and experiences that help in the development and transformation of young people’s lives for good. His autobiography The Prince of Peace written by Dr Prince and Paul Zanon is already a best seller.

Collaboration:

The Kiyan Prince Foundation is a project that has seen Dr Prince collaborate with a range of notable individuals, organisations, 傳媒, government officials and celebrities to shine a light on the socio-economic issues impacting on young people and families nationally. He has been involved in the creation and the was the feature of the ITV documentary, “Put the Knives and Guns Down” screened on ITV London Tonight Special; panel member for The News of The World’s “Save Our Streets” campaign; keynote speaker at Metropolitan Police Operation Trident Program; and guest speaker at conferences such as, the NBCPA National Black Crown Prosecutors Association Annual Conference and the National Governor Prison Association Annual Conference.

Recognition and Vision:

In recognition of the significant contribution to the community and fight against knife crime, Dr Prince has received several well-deserved awards e.g. The Children’s Champion Award from Prime Minister Gordon Brown; an Honorary Doctorate Degree from Excel University; and recently in the Queen’s New Year Honours list (2019) to receive an OBE.

It is the foundation’s vision to obtain funding/raise the revenue to deliver#inspiringfuturechampions a campaign which involves delivering powerful messages to every school in London first, with inspirational speakers who are high level influencers amongst young people together with Dr Prince sharing with them how to utilise their strength of will, recognise their potential, individuality, purpose, how to value themselves, come back from adversity and the power of self-belief, which when understood all leads to young people steering clear of guns and knives which is a problem of the mind and not of the knife.

The Freeman Juggernaut Rolls On – Stops O’Reilly in Four

發表評論

Liverpool’s unbeaten Middleweight prospect Martin Freeman made an emphatic statement on Saturday night, with his fourth round stoppage victory over Will O’Reilly at the Jubilee Sports Bank in his home city.

該 26 year old Liverpudlian exuded class throughout the contest, even when being forced onto the back foot by the ever moving forward all out attack tactics employed by O’Reilly, Freeman just adapted his tactics to counter and control the contest in sensational fashion.

The Liverpudlian’s power was the defining factor of the contest, especially in the fourth, when a massive right from Freeman shook O’Reilly to the core, forcing the Mancunian battler to stagger back onto the ropes and cover up just as the contest approached the minute mark of the round.

In an instant Freeman stepped forward and let rip with a scintillating bombardment of massive lefts and rights, O’Reilly covered up and absorbed the first couple of shots on the gloves and arm, but Freeman’s power and precise placement ensured that the Liverpudlian’s Exocets began to power their way through the Mancunian’s guard with little resistance, after a couple of particularly venomous head shots referee Chris Kelly stepped in and stopped the contest on the one minute and two second mark of the fourth round.

Following the fight Freeman said;

“I am really pleased with my performance from Saturday night.

“Yes it was a tough fight and my opponent not only took some of my best shots but he also gave some good punches too!

“I’m definitely glad I got some good rounds in too as I won my last two fights in the first round.”

Freeman’s gym mate Lee Cooper was also on the card and secured a shut out points victory over Kyle McNicholas.

Both Freeman and Cooper will be back in action on the next Kyle Gallagher promoted Victory Fight Club event at the Jubilee Sports Bank on 28th March 2020.

Decastro聳人聽聞停止在卡斯塔涅達在五林肯

發表評論

報告: 贊布羅塔迪卡羅

上週六晚, 在發動機室林肯大學, 當地球迷在他的世界拳擊聯盟的防禦力變成了支持當地的小伙子內森Decastro (WBU) 超中量級世界冠軍他自4月舉行，以及嘗試添加世界拳擊基金會 (WBF) 冠他的收藏對來自墨西哥的後期更換費爾南多·卡斯塔涅達.

本來Decastro是由於面對尼加拉瓜何塞·巴雷拉, 然而週三瓦雷拉, 誰是在西班牙的時候, 被拒絕了西班牙當局的出境簽證，當他抵達巴塞羅那機場為他的飛行英國, 所以未能成行林肯.

戰鬥本身是相當麻煩的事, 由於卡斯塔涅達的持續持有, 以下Decastro在第一早期登陸一個惡性身體射門，明確是影響墨西哥, 因為每次Decastro上前讓撕裂，他會搶抱以防止進一步的處罰身體.

回合二和三都以相似的口吻，雖然是公平有一個多一點拳擊, 而不是摔跤, 行動. Decastro工作他的敵人的屍體時，他得到了機會, 這是不是常因命中和保持墨西哥的戰術.

第四輪是具有卡斯塔涅達關於控股嚴詞更為開放下面裁判李Murtagh的, 以至於出現了一些惡毒的交流隨之而來, 但是每次Decastro針對性的身體卡斯塔涅達仍然將首先搶抱, 所以Decastro開始射擊exocets的頭.

Decastro明確了由卡斯塔涅達的戰術感到沮喪作為第五節開始不夠, 在Bardney人改變了戰術略有並開始前進遠遠以及更快，在第一分鐘左右降落一些嚴重的鏡頭, 卡斯塔涅達回應的種類，但是相當抿著嘴由於他決心保護自己的身體免受進一步處罰的保持著距離.

通過全面Decastro大約一半的方式支持墨西哥向繩索和假裝戳, 造成卡斯塔涅達提高他的手就足以創造​​一個開放，讓撕裂了巨大的鉤到發送墨西哥到畫布身體疼痛彎了腰.

卡斯塔涅達最初嘗試上漲, 但馬上崩潰，在痛苦中翻騰, 裁判李Murtagh的立即放棄過戰鬥，召喚醫生戒指作為Decastro和他的團隊開始了他們的慶祝活動. 補時一分鐘法定時間和第五輪的38秒.

此前Decastro-卡斯塔涅達看到蘇菲瓦利在打擊海梅·貝茨行動專業拳擊理事會 (PBC) 國際錦標賽銅牌.

不得不說這是一個破解的戰鬥從開始到結束, 兩個女孩為每一個輪的整個2分鐘艱苦戰鬥. 瓦利登陸一些嚴重的大款, 其中包括在第六震撼貝茨的核心, 她的雙腿都不見了，但不知何故，她設法不只是停留在她的腳卻被精明足以給自己幾秒鐘掛出刺拳，以保持瓦利在海灣恢復她的鎮靜.

每一輪是所有行動，認真關閉, 以至於我無法將它們分割, 得分明智, 在幾個回合，每個到我的腦海裡已經獲得了幾個回合，不得不承認，我認為結果是平局, 我錯了 (我顯然不是法官材料) 作為三位經驗豐富的法官記分卡讀取; 阿德里安·索恩 57-59, 詹姆斯Ancliff 57-58 格雷姆比尤利 56-59 所有贊成海梅·貝茨.

此前瓦利 - 貝茨謝菲爾德的首次亮相扎克Lane和尼加拉瓜弗雷德里克·卡斯特羅之間的另一個開裂鬥爭.

在風格的衝突是真正讓這場戰鬥, 卡斯特羅有一個明顯的向前來全力進攻風格, 同時萊恩的模擬王子納西姆的風格, 男孩哦男孩的年輕人做這種風格的自己, 浸漬每一次襲擊尼加拉瓜扔刺痛櫃檯前搖曳的危險了. 話說，我要強調萊恩不是一維的所有, 在需要的時候，他更樂意去腳趾到腳趾, 讓RIP使用非常快速和強大的左派和權利.

這是偉大的鬥爭觀看, 關閉和所有在整個行動. 經過四節夢幻般的輪裁判李Murtagh的拿下了比賽 39-37 贊成開張扎克·萊恩的, 太多的卡斯特羅和他的角落的煩惱誰圍住裁判爭論比分, 我完全理解，因為他是最積極的，但不得不說萊恩中和墨西哥的攻擊輕鬆和他的反制是煽情和我的看法做了足夠多，以確保勝利.

此前萊恩與卡斯特羅是另所有驚險動作片, 對利茲傑克瓊斯塞浦路斯土耳其共和國2平保持不敗戰鬥機糖Atahasan之間的時間.

Atahasan支配使用他夠不著的優勢，非常好的效果第一節. 不過他沒有就他自己的方式特別是作為鬥爭的進展到第二瓊斯耐心工作逃脫大款讓裂口至Atahasan的身體和頭部之前塑造開口.

Atahasan加緊齒輪，真正為它去了第三, 並在第一主導訴訟. 大同小異的第四, 很好，直到大約經過時，瓊斯Atahasan採取了防守錯誤的優勢和降落發送土族塞在畫布上一個鏡頭的中途桃. Atahasan勉強降落，並在瞬間，並就重啟是在他的腳去硬，雖然快於回合結束.

經過四回合轟動李裁判員Murtagh的的記分卡讀 37-38 贊成傑克瓊斯.

夜的第四比賽進站基於奧克尼利物浦保羅同行對坦桑尼亞的阿莫斯Mwamakula在四圓.

再次多麼美妙的一切行動戰爭, 同行去了硬性並保持打樁進行大規模的拍攝，身體和頭部的壓力，整個第一輪, Mwamakula是盡可能清楚地艱難，因為他們來承受來自同行的激烈強大的攻擊力.

第二略低於激烈, 同齡人的當選開關的戰術略有, 放慢步伐，並挑選他的投籃. 大部分在第三相同, 但在第四同行加緊步伐一點，作為第一目標的嚴重艱難坦桑尼亞的身體.

經過四優回合拳擊裁判李Murtagh的的記分卡讀 40-36 有利於保同輩.

此前同行VS Mwamakula是巴羅因弗內斯“李奇力和立陶宛的托馬斯Vaicickas之間重量級的較量.

再次，這是一個完整的戰爭, 有兩個人去全員出動大部分的較量. 凱利特的表現我已經從他在相當長一段時間看到的最好的, 他顯得信心十足，真正是把他的桿落後這麼大的權力.

Vaicickas是艱難的，因為他們打擊的風格來之前，並愉快地吸收大款從巴羅人未來的路上. 雖然奇力主導輪的第一轎跑車, Vaicickas來到自己在第三，他加緊腳步了後.

四是所​​有的奇力雖然, 以至於當戰鬥進入最後一分鐘，立陶宛似乎放棄，只是站在背對由於步伐奇力的繩索已成立，只是隨意吸收拳.

經過四大回合這是裁判李Murtagh的的記分卡, 這勿庸置疑閱讀 39-36 贊成李奇力的.

夜晚的第二次戰鬥進站塞浦路斯“倚天圖蘭克土耳其共和國對陣波多黎各的何塞·萊昂˚F.

圖蘭克開始硬性, 在每一個機會投擲大量炸彈和字面上被毆打萊昂, 誰幾乎找不到有這麼多的大款經常未來的路上開到櫃檯.

波多黎各的角落是如此擔心，圍繞著第一輪的分鐘標記他的角落認輸，以努力拯救他們的人進一步處罰, 然而裁判李Murtagh的剛剛拉開毛巾出來，並讓戰鬥繼續, 它沒有，但不是只要登陸Turunc的另一個巨大的鏡頭送萊昂向下並向外一分鐘二十七第一輪的第二個標誌.

請不要誤會我的意思, 是的，它是所有單向交通, 作為似乎與圖蘭克常態, 我見過他不打不相識，知道他是多麼無情, 萊昂盡自己最大努力留在戰鬥，但被嚴重堅韌有力土族塞處於劣勢.

當晚的開幕鬥爭真正定下了基調，整個晚上, 我希望我已經清楚前面所有的酒吧VS里昂的重頭戲，當然圖蘭克的, 打架均與戰鬥大逃殺的最高水平, 也相信我的開幕回合, 首次亮相劉易斯桑和赫羅納之間, 根據西班牙尼加拉瓜巴勃羅·納瓦埃斯, 再次另一個層面, 這是聳人聽聞.

桑真的去為它從一開盤及感覺盒裝, 納瓦埃斯是人才那麼毫無疑問他是彌補戰鬥，給了一樣好，他得到的回報, 然而，當他得到了一桿的桃抓住送到畫布上還有輕微的歪的尼加拉瓜第一 – 會說我見過納爾瓦埃斯在行動了幾次，這是我第一次看到他失望, 所以榮譽給年輕桑.

第二輪看到Narvaez的是多一點的防守意識, 儘管仍然樂意去腳趾到腳趾與大沖壓年輕人. 第三輪，雖然看到了相反的命運中作為納爾瓦埃斯真正開始採取訴訟的立足點, 這使桑向人們展示自己的防守才華和煽情阻遏. 第四個是一個不折不扣的戰爭與男女雙方去為它為全3分鐘. 經過四回合閃爍的拳擊裁判的李Murtagh的拿下了比賽 39-37 贊成開張劉易斯桑.

我必須讓桑與納爾瓦埃斯夜的戰鬥, 很迷人, 也不得不說桑真正打動, 他是真正的交易, 他擁有所有的工具在他胸口的方式全力以赴頂端在我們敬愛的運動, 我一個不能等待再次看到他的行動，這是肯定.
