Seconds Out Promotions Signs Light Heavyweight Powerhouse Marcus Oliveira to a Promotional Agreement

Skryf 'n opmerking

Tony Grygelko of Minneapolis-based Seconds Out Promotions proudly announces the signing of hard-punching former world-title challenger Marcus Oliveira to a promotional contract.

 

From Menominee, Wisconsin, and of Menominee Nation, moedertaal, heritage, 36-year-old Oliveira (25-1-1, 20 Uitklophoue) is also a former NABF and WBA Fedebol Light Heavyweight Champion.

The promotional agreement is a reunion of sorts, as Grygelko was Oliveira’s promoter for much of his early professional career.

 

“I used to promote Marcus, prior to him signing with Don King, and it’s truly an honor to be able to promote him again and help position him for another world title shot,” said Tony Grygelko. “It seems that with his previous promoter not actively seeking fights, and his loss to Jurgen Brähmer, that Marcus has been written off, but the truth is he is extremely focused and has a burning desire to show all his fans that he has the talent to win a World Championship! He plans to shake off some ring rust off with a couple fights and then he’ll be looking to go after some of the big names in the division, such as Andrezj Fonfara, Sergey Kovalev, Bernard Hopkins, and a rematch with Brähmer.”

 

Oliveira, who was a heavily decorated amateur boxer before turning pro in 2006, said he feels his career had been stalled by an agreement he signed with another promoter. He says he happy to now be free of that contract and back to working with someone he trusts.

 

“I was looking for someone who could get me to the next level in my career and Tony has already done that for quite a few guys, so it was an easy decision,” said Oliveira. “He’s always straight-up with me and treats me well. I have a great relationship with him. I’m very happy about this new direction.”

 

“We’re very excited to be back working with Tony,” said Oliveira’s Manager, Douglas Ward from the Underground Boxing Company. “It’s good to be working with a promoter that has our same set of goals.”

 

Oliveira joins a Seconds Out stable that also includes Carson Jones and recent world-title challenger Caleb Truax.

Paul “Real Gone Kid” Smith enters his fight against pound-for-pound star Ward coming off of two heroic performances against WBO Super Middleweight World Champion Arthur Abraham. Smith challenged the Armenian-German for his title in Kiel, Germany in September 2014 and put on the performance of his career in his world title first shot. The 32-year-old native of Liverpool was the clear winner of large parts of the fight and celebrated at the bell in front of a hushed partisan crowd that thought that Abraham had been dethroned. Smith was not expecting the wide scorecards that were read out in favor of the hometown fighter and, judging by the far-reaching outrage at the lopsided numbers, neither were the majority of the boxing world and beyond, with Smith receiving support from some of Britain’s biggest sports stars on social media. A rematch was the only possible scenario and, like a true champion, Abraham duly obliged. Smith returned to Germany in February of this year to face Abraham again, this time in Berlin, but Abraham was a different fighter the night of their second fight, successfully defending his belt against a brave challenge from Smith. Once again the judges’ were forced to give a verdict and this time a decision win by Abraham was met with no outcry of controversy. Op Junie 20, “Real Gone Kid” will return to the ring and once again venture into hostile territory to take on one of boxing’s best, looking to silence the crowd.

 

Ward vs. Smith, 'n 12 ronde bout deur Roc Nasie Sport, plaasvind Saterdag, Junie 20 by Oracle Arena in Oakland, Kalifornië, sal regstreeks op BET en wêreldwyd gestroom op TIDAL.com by 10:00 PM ET/7:00 PM PT en word aangebied in samewerking met Matchroom Sport.

His supporters will be out in force to watch. Kenny Abril is from nearby Rochester, New York and he’ll have a giant following in attendance as well. On the undercard will be several local favorites in exciting match-ups. I’m proud to be part of this great event and the resurgence of televised professional boxing.”

Several other exciting match-ups will be announced soon.

The event is being conducted under the rules and regulations of the Seneca Nation of Indians Athletic Commission, whose members are Scott Snyder, Sean Crane, and Justin Schapp.

Boxing’s most avoided world champion Guillermo Rigondeaux heading to UK next month To publically confront Scott Quigg

Skryf 'n opmerking
CORK, Ierland (April 12, 2015) – Unified super bantamweight world champion Bill “Die Jakkals” Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 Uitklophoue), arguably the most avoided reigning world title holder in modern boxing history, will travel to London next month in order to publicly confront his mandatory challenger, Scott QUIGG (30-0-2, 22 Uitklophoue), the World Boxing Association (WBA) “gereelde” 122-pond afdeling titlist.

 

A month ago in an unusual move, Rigondeaux’ bestuurder Gary Hyde formally petitioned the WBA to enforce a mandatory title fight between his WBA Super champion and Quigg. Hyde is awaiting the WBA’s decision. Rigondeaux is also the World Boxing Organization (WBO) en Die Ring tydskrif se super kapokgewig-kampioen.

 

A reigning world champion hasn’t been avoided by other world champions and top contenders like Rigondeux has for the past two years since, miskien, junior middelgewigtitel Sergio Martinez, or possibly all the way back to middleweight Mike McCallum.

 

The top three super bantamweights in the world outside of Rigondeaux – International Boxing Federation (IBF) en World Boxing Council (WBC) champions, Carl Frampton en Leo Santa Cruz, onderskeidelik, plus Quigg – have avoided the Cuban great like the plaque. Once Santa Cruz’ promoter at the time, Oscar de la Hoya, announced that a Rigondeaux-Santa Cruz had to happen, Santa Cruz’ powerful adviser, Al HAYMON, exercised a contract option and bought him out to avoid a fight with ‘Rigo.’ Frampton’s promoter, Barry McGuigan, has proclaimed his fighter, not Rigondeaux, as the No. 1 super featherweight in the world. McGuigan, al, is interested in Frampton fighting Quigg in a U.K. konfrontasie, rather than a world mega-fight for three of the four major sanctioning world titles. As the “gereelde” WBA champion, Quigg is Rigondeaux’ verpligte uitdager, nog, he apparently wants no part of the two-time Olympic gold medalist because his promoter, Barry Hearn, not only hasn’t pushed the issue, he’s in negotiations with McGuigan for Frampton to fight Quigg.

 

Former world super bantamweight champions Nonito Doniare, after he lost a unification fight to Rigondeaux two years ago, en Abner Mares chose to move up one division to fight as featherweights. And now Donaire reports that his manager was contacted by a Quigg representative to discuss a Donaire-Quigg fight in England.

 

Another two-time Olympic gold medalist, WBO 126-pound champion Vasyl Lomachenko, continually insists that “Line” has to move up in weight for a fight to happen despite him having no problems making 126.

 

“QUIGG, Santa Cruz and Frampton have showed no desire to challenge Rigondeaux,” Hyde sê. “These three fighters are trying to fool the public into believing that fight die No. 1 guy in the world is not important. While they are lining their pockets with ridiculous amounts of cash for fighting below par opponents, Rigondeaux is forced to wait around until some Asian opponent steps up. This is a sport in which we are accustomed to seeing the best fighting the best but, in the super bantamweight division, it’s the best versus the rest.

 

“Rigondeaux will travel to Manchester to fight Quigg, Belfast to fight Frampton, or Las Vegas to fight Santa Cruz. None of these so-called world champions, al, will consider fighting the acknowledged world super bantamweight champion. They’re all much more content to hold onto their belts than beating The Man in their weight class.”

 

Next month, Hyde reports, Rigondeaux will travel to the United Kingdom in a bold attempt to embarrass Quigg into fighting him. “I don’t like traveling overseas unless I have a fight lined up,” Rigondeaux explained, “but I will travel to England in May to publicly call out Scott Quigg. If he turns down the chance to fight our WBA mandatory, he will be remembered for that instead of being known as a great fighter. While I’m in the UK, I will also go to Belfast to checkout Carl Frampton to ask if he wants to prove himself against the best in his division.”

 

Understanding that the top super bantamweight action is currently in Europe, noting a record purse ($2.2 million USD) offered for a Frampton vs. Quigg fight, Rigondeaux is considering a major change in the not too distant future, moving his base from Miami to the UK, if that’s what it takes for him to get in on the action.

 

Hyde also manages former WBO middleweight champion and current International Boxing Federation (IBF) Moenie. 1 verpligte aanspraakmaker Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam (31-1, 18 Uitklophoue), former WBA Interim cruiserweight champion Yuri “El Toro” Kalenga (21-2, 14 Uitklophoue) and Georgian super lightweight Levan “The Wolf” Ghvamichava (14-1-1, 11 Uitklophoue) , as well as top prospects such as Cuban super bantamweight Mark Forest (2-0, 2 Uitklophoue), Irish heavyweight Met Sheehan and Bulgarian light heavyweight Blagoy Naydenov.

MEDZHID “B-52” BEKTEMIROV TERUG 18 April OP CRAWFORD-DULORME CARD

Skryf 'n opmerking

 

HOUSTON, TEXAS (Maart 31, 2015) – Bombs will be flying once again when Gary Shaw Productions en Savarese Promotions’ undefeated Light-Heavyweight slugger, Medzhid “B-52” Bektemirov (15-0, 12 Uitklophoue), maak sy pad terug na die ring teen Michael Gbenga (20-18, 20 Uitklophoue). Bektemirov vs. Gbenga, 'n 8-ronde bout, sal plaasvind Saterdag, April 18, at College Park Center located on the campus of the University of Texas Arlington on the undercard of Crawford-Dulorme.

 

Ingedeel #10 deur die WBA, Bektemirov sal nog 'n oorwinning teen Gbenga soek, as he looks to climb up the Light-Heavyweight rankings while keeping his undefeated record intact. His mission, soos altyd, is sy teenstander uit vroeg daar te kry.

 

“Ek is op soek om te soek en te vernietig almal in my pad,” Said Medzhid Bektemirov. “My afrigter Ronnie Shields has me working on a variety of different combinations that I feel is making me a better fighter. I’m in the gym everyday working extremely hard on everything. Now that I’m ranked in the WBA, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. My co-promoters Gary Shaw and Lou Savarese have assured me a big fight if I continue to win. I know Gbenga has a lot of power, maar ek voel my stoot meer plofbare wees en ek sal Gunning vir die uitklopfase van die opening klok. Ek is gereed om bomme te laat val!”

 

“Ek en Lou doen ons bes besig te hou B-52,” gesê Gary Shaw. “This will be his second fight in a little over a month and we want him on the fast track to a world title. Our goal is to move him up wisely against opponents that will prepare him for the next level. He keeps knocking everyone out so we have to keep him fighting as much as possible.”

 

“Ek is baie bly dat Gary Shaw kon B-52 te kry op hierdie kaart,” gesê Lou Savarese. “Bektemirov is thrilled to be fighting so soon after a spectacular performance in his last fight which took place last month. I like what Ronnie Shields is doing with him. He’s improving with each fight and that’s what Gary and I are looking for. We want B-52 ready for the next level.”

WBC PURSE BID FOR STEVENSON/KOVALEV APRIL 17th IN MEXICO CITY

Skryf 'n opmerking

MONTREAL (Maart 27, 2015) – Die konkretisering van die Die Ring, WBC, WBA, IBF en WBO ligswaargewig eenwording stryd tussen Adonis “Superman” Stevenson en Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev het nog 'n belangrike stap geneem. Die World Boxing Council (WBC) het beveel dat 'n beursie bod plaasvind April 17 ten einde die promotor van hierdie belangrike gebeurtenis te bepaal.

AANVANKLIK versoek deur Groupe Yvon Michel (GYM) die vereiste tyd om voor te berei vir 'n groot gebeurtenis soos hierdie super stryd te verseker, die WBC het ingestem om die beursie bod op aan te bied April. 17 in Mexiko.

Die wenner van hierdie beursie bod sal 'n voordeel bo die ander promotor het in terme van die bepaling van die datum, plek en televisie-netwerk vir die ligswaargewig konfrontasie. Elke groep sal die bod gelykop verdeel op 'n 50-50 basis.

Voor die Stevenson (25-1, 21 Uitklophoue) vs. Kovalev (27-0-1, 24 Uitklophoue) rommel kan gebeur, al, beide vegters moet hul volgende bout wen. Stevenson, die Haities-gebore Quebecer, het sy WBC suksesvol verdedig en Die Ring krone April 4 in Quebec City teen Kameroen moedertaal Sakio Bika (32-6-3, 21 Uitklophoue), terwyl Kovalev het 90 dae 'n verpligte verdediging van sy IBF gordel teen die Fransman Nadjib Mohammedi te voer (37-3, 23 Uitklophoue) op 'n plek te bepaal.

Stevenson se promotor, GYM President Yvon Michel, is opgewonde oor die moontlikheid van die bevordering van wat kan die grootste ligswaargewig geraas van alle tye wees. “Ons gaan voort omdat Adonis en sy span (adviseur Al HAYMON en kop afrigter Jevan Sugar Hill) wou hierdie awesome stryd om te gebeur,” Michel verduidelik. “My bokser (Stevenson) wil sy ondersteuners te gee, nie net van Quebec, maar van regoor die hele wêreld, die stryd wat hulle regtig wil.

“Adonis is onregverdig beskuldig word van koes Kovalev verlede somer, maar sy uiteindelike doel was nog altyd om te bewys hy is die koning van die lig Swaargewigte.”

“Almal praat met my oor Sergey Kovalev,” WBC, Die ring en regstreekse wêreld ligswaargewig-kampioen Stevenson bygevoeg. “Ek is ten volle gefokus op Sakio Bika nou, maar ek wil regtig die titels te verenig. Ek is die koning van my afdeling en gereed is om dit te bewys.”

Die 37-jarige hotklou, vol vertroue te wen al die groot wêreld titel gordels, het ook opgemerk, “In werklikheid, die twee titels (WBA en IBF) Bernard Hopkins verloor Kovalev was veronderstel om my te wees, maar Hopkins weggeloop na HBO eerder as om te baklei vir my.”

Met die hulp van die WBC

Bekragtiging liggame selde toelaat kampioene van ander organisasies deel in sy ranglys te wees. In hierdie geval, egter, die WBC 'n uitsondering gemaak en gesê dat, op sy 52th jaarlikse konvensie verlede Desember in Las Vegas, die Kovalev vs. Jean Pascal bout wenner sal die verpligte uitdager vir Stevenson se titel.

Die WBC Raad van Goewerneurs van die belangrikheid en omvang van 'n stryd met al die titels van 'n enkele afdeling op die spel beïnvloed om daardie besluit te maak.

“Dit was 'n uitstekende strategie deur Kathy Duva (president van Main Events en Kovalev se promotor),” Michel kommentaar. “Adonis is nou verplig Kovalev tot aangesig in 'n eenwording bout, waarborg van 'n eenvoudige proses sonder lang, unnecessary bargaining.

Hieronder 'n afskrif van Hyde se brief aan die WBA:

 

 

Dear Chairman Mendoza:

 

Ek skryf as die bestuurder van Guillermo Rigondeaux, die verenigde WBA / WBO-kampioen.

 

I write to request enforcement of the mandatory. Uniquely in the Super Bantamweight Division Guillermo Rigondeaux is the “Verenigde Kampioen” en Scott Quigg is die “Gereelde Kampioen.”

Clearly as the Regular Champion Quigg is the highest ranked contender in the division. While he was injured he is now back in training and there is no reason why Mr. Rigondeaux kan nie, of moet nie sy verpligte verpligtinge teen mnr vervul. QUIGG.

 

We are aware that there are some discussions about a bout between Quigg and Frampton. Egter, ons is in kontak met die IBF en hulle sal nie bekragtig die eenwording stryd met enigiemand anders as die hoogste vlak van die kampioen wat in hierdie geval is Guillermo Rigondeaux.

 

Ons doen met respek voorstel dat dit die beste om te gaan met die verpligte kwessie nou en versoek dat Quigg en Guillermo gerig word onderhandeling te begin.

 

Respek ingedien,

 

Gary Hyde

 

 

Hyde bestuur ook WBA Tussentydse cruiserweight kampioen Yuri “El Toro” Kalenga(21-1, 14 Uitklophoue), voormalige WBO middelgewigtitel kampioen en huidige Internasionale Boksfederasie (IBF) Moenie. 1 verpligte aanspraakmaker Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam (31-1, 18 Uitklophoue), en top super kapokgewig vooruitsig Mark Forest (1-0, 1 KO).

I know the fans are looking forward to my next fight, en ek is gereed om hulle te bring nog 'n opwindende aand van aksie.”

The fans got to see a true warrior in Guerrero last Saturday, en sal hom weer te sien in die nabye toekoms.”

Guillermo Rigondeaux bemoedig deur Oscar de la Hoya kommentaar oor Leo Santa Cruz eenwording stryd

Skryf 'n opmerking

MIAMI (Jan. 28, 2015) – World Boxing Association (WBA) Super, World Boxing Organisasie (WBO) en Die Ring Magazine super kapokgewig-kampioen Bill “Die Jakkals” Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 Uitklophoue) word aangemoedig deur verslae dat die World Boxing Council (WBC) titel-houer Leo Santa Cruz‘ promotor, Oscar de la Hoya, glo 'n Rigondeaux-Santa Cruz eenwording stryd het om te gebeur.

 

Die 34-jarige Rigondeaux, 'n twee-time Olimpiese goue medalje, is beperk tot Asië vir sy laaste twee gevegte, daarna in 'n lae-profiel wedstryde, as gevolg van die gebrek aan begeerte deur enige wêreldklas super kapokgewig die Kubaanse ster te daag.

 

Rigondeaux gestop WBO Geen. 6 gegradeerde uitdager Hisashi Amagasa (28-4-2, 19 Uitklophoue) na 11 rondes in Osaka, Japan het die afgelope Oujaarsaand. Verlede Julie, “Line” uitgeslaan Sooi Kokietgym (62-2-1) in die eerste ronde van hul geveg in Macao, China.

 

“Dit is goed om te weet dat Santa Cruz’ promotor het gesê dat ons eenwording stryd het om te gebeur,” 'n ekstatiese Rigondeaux gesê. “Ek wil sy by te voeg (WBC) groen gordel om my WBA en WBO kampioenskap versameling. Ek het hierdie stryd vir 'n geruime tyd wou. Kom ons hoop dit is nie net onsinnige praatjies. Kom ons doen dit!”

 

Rigondeaux vs. Santa Cruz (29-0-1, 17 Uitklophoue) sou 'n klassieke konfrontasie tussen etniese boks aartsvyande wees, onderskeidelik, Kubaanse en Meksikaanse vegters wat nou in Miami en die suide van Kalifornië.

 

“Ek het gekontak Golden Boy Promotions baie keer om te vra oor die maak van 'n stryd tussen 'Rigo’ en Santa Cruz,” Rigondeaux’ bestuurder Gary Hyde bygevoeg. “Hulle het altyd beantwoord deur te sê dat hulle belangstel in die maak van hierdie stryd, maar nie op daardie tyd. Gister, na die leer Oscar gesê hierdie stryd het om te gebeur, Ek het na Golden Boy en kan bevestig dat die onderhandelinge het begin. Myself en Caribe Promotions, 'Rigo se’ promotor, sal poog om hierdie stryd gebeur so gou as moontlik.

 

“Sodra 'Rigo’ klop Santa Cruz vir sy derde wêreld titel band – vierde as jy reken Die Ring Magazine – 'n stryd teen die Internasionale Boksfederasie (IBF) kampioen Carl Frampton (19-0, 13 Uitklophoue) sou hê om te gebeur om die onbetwiste super kapokgewig-kampioen van die wêreld te bepaal.”
