Sekunder ud-kampagner underskriver let tungt kraftværk Marcus Oliveira til en salgsfremmende aftale

Efterlad en kommentar

Tony Grygelko fra Minneapolis-baserede Seconds Out Promotions annoncerer stolt underskrivelsen af ​​den hårdt slagende tidligere verdensudfordrende udfordrer Marcus Oliveira til en salgsfremmende kontrakt.

 

Fra Menominee, Wisconsin, og af Menominee Nation, indfødte, arv, 36-årige Oliveira (25-1-1, 20 KOS) er også en tidligere NABF og WBA Fedebol Light Heavyweight Champion.

Kampagneaftalen er en slags genforening, da Grygelko var Oliveiras promotor i meget af sin tidlige professionelle karriere.

 

“Jeg plejede at promovere Marcus, inden han underskrev med Don King, og det er virkelig en ære at være i stand til at promovere ham igen og hjælpe med at placere ham til endnu et verdensskud,” sagde Tony Grygelko. “Det ser ud til, at med sin tidligere promotor ikke aktivt søger kampe, og hans tab for Jurgen Brähmer, at Marcus er blevet afskrevet, men sandheden er, at han er ekstremt fokuseret og har et brændende ønske om at vise alle sine fans, at han har talentet til at vinde et verdensmesterskab! Han planlægger at ryste noget ringrust af med et par slagsmål, og så vil han se efter nogle af de store navne i divisionen, såsom Andrezj Fonfara, Sergey Kovalev, Bernard Hopkins, og en omkamp med Brähmer.”

 

Oliveira, som var en stærkt dekoreret amatørbokser, inden han blev professionel 2006, sagde, at han føler, at hans karriere var blevet stoppet af en aftale, han underskrev med en anden arrangør. Han siger, at han er glad for nu at være fri for den kontrakt og tilbage til at arbejde med nogen, han stoler på.

 

“Jeg ledte efter nogen, der kunne få mig til det næste niveau i min karriere, og Tony har allerede gjort det for en hel del fyre, så det var en let beslutning,” sagde Oliveira. “Han er altid lige med mig og behandler mig godt. Jeg har et godt forhold til ham. Jeg er meget glad for denne nye retning.”

 

“Vi er meget glade for at være sammen med Tony igen,” sagde Oliveiras manager, Douglas Ward fra Underground Boxing Company. “Det er godt at arbejde sammen med en promotor, der har vores samme sæt mål.”

 

Oliveira slutter sig til en Seconds Out-stald, der også inkluderer Carson Jones og den seneste verdensudfordrer Caleb Truax.

I am fresh and confident going into this fight. It’s a massive opportunity for me and one that I took with both hands when it was offered. I have spent a lot of time boxing in the United States and I look forward to returning for this fight.”

 

Known for his strong character and integrity outside the ring and his killer instinct inside it, Andre Ward’s skill and talent were apparent early in his outstanding amateur career. He racked up every title in the books, kulminerede med en guldmedalje i lyset sværvægter division på 2004 Olympiske Lege i Athen. As the only male American boxer to claim Olympic gold since 1996, Ward sluttede den holder af Muhammad Ali, Sukker Ray Leonard og Oscar De La Hoya. Han blev professionel i december 18, 2004, scoring a second round technical knockout victory over Chris Molina at Staples Center in a fight that was televised live on HBO. He has gone on to rack up 26 more victories since then, building an ever-growing legion of fans in the process. Efter at være blevet Ring Magazine og WBA Super mellemvægt verdensmester, rising to the number two spot on the pound-for-pound list and winning the 2011 Fighter of the Year Award (ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Ring Magazine og Boksning Writers Association of America), blev det meddelt, at Ward underskrevet en eksklusiv salgsfremmende aftale med Roc Nation Sports i januar 2015, at åbne et nyt kapitel i sin storied boksning karriere. Now the Bay Area product is ready to return to the ring on Juni 20 på Oracle Arena foran hans hjemby fans i Oakland, California.

 

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. På Juni 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, en 12 rund Bout præsenteret af Roc Nation Sports, finder sted Lørdag, Juni 20 på Oracle Arena i Oakland, California, vil blive tv-transmitteret live på BET og streamet globalt på TIDAL.com på 10:00 PM ET/7:00 PM PT og præsenteres i samarbejde med Matchroom Sport.

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

Efterlad en kommentar
CORK, Irland (April 12, 2015) – Unified super bantamweight world champion Regning “The Jackal” Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 KOS), 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 KOS), the World Boxing Association (WBA) “regelmæssig” 122-pund division titlist.

 

A month ago in an unusual move, Rigondeaux’ Direktør 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) og Ringen bladets super bantamvægt mester.

 

A reigning world champion hasn’t been avoided by other world champions and top contenders like Rigondeux has for the past two years since, måske, junior mellemvægt 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) og World Boxing Council (WBC) champions, Carl Frampton og Leo Santa Cruz, henholdsvis, 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, som nr. 1 super featherweight in the world. McGuigan, selv, is interested in Frampton fighting Quigg in a U.K. showdown, rather than a world mega-fight for three of the four major sanctioning world titles. As the “regelmæssig” WBA champion, Quigg is Rigondeaux’ obligatoriske udfordrer, endnu, 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, og 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 “Linje” 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 sagde. “These three fighters are trying to fool the public into believing that fight 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, selv, 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.”

 

Næste måned, 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) Do Not. 1 obligatoriske udfordrer Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam (31-1, 18 KOS), former WBA Interim cruiserweight champion Yuri “El Toro” Kalenga (21-2, 14 KOS) and Georgian super lightweight Levan “Ulven” Ghvamichava (14-1-1, 11 KOS) , as well as top prospects such as Cuban super bantamweight Mark Skov (2-0, 2 KOS), Irish heavyweight Med Sheehan and Bulgarian light heavyweight Blagoy Naydenov.

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, men jeg føler mine slag vil være mere eksplosiv og jeg vil skyde efter knockout fra åbningen klokken. Jeg er klar til at smide bomber!”

 

“Lou og jeg gør vores bedste for at holde B-52 optaget,” sagde 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.”

 

“Jeg er meget glad for, at Gary Shaw var i stand til at få B-52 på dette kort,” sagde 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.”

Før Stevenson (25-1, 21 KOS) vs. Kovalev (27-0-1, 24 KOS) Rumble kan ske, selv, begge kæmpere skal vinde deres næste kamp. Stevenson, Haitis fødte Quebecer, har med held forsvare sin WBC og Ringen kroner April 4 i Quebec City mod Cameroun indfødte Sakio Bika (32-6-3, 21 KOS), mens Kovalev har 90 dage til at udføre en obligatorisk forsvar af sin IBF bælte mod franskmanden Nadjib Mohammedi (37-3, 23 KOS) på et sted, der fastsættes.

Stevensons promotor, GYM præsident Yvon Michel, er ophidset af muligheden for at fremme, hvad der kunne være den største lys sværvægter slagsmål af all-time. “Vi gik videre, fordi Adonis og hans team (rådgiver Al Haymon og hoved træner Jevan Sukker Hill) ønskede denne awesome kamp at ske,” Michel forklarede. “Min bokser (Stevenson) ønsker at give sine fans, ikke kun fra Quebec, men fra omkring hele verden, kampen, de virkelig ønsker.

“Adonis blev uretfærdigt anklaget for undsige Kovalev sidste sommer, men hans endelige mål har altid været at bevise, at han er kongen af ​​Lyset Sværvægtere.”

“Alle taler til mig om Sergey Kovalev,” WBC, Ringen og lineal verden lys sværvægter mester Stevenson tilføjet. “Jeg er fuldt ud fokuseret på Sakio Bika lige nu, men jeg virkelig ønsker at forene titlerne. Jeg er kongen af ​​min deling og klar til at bevise det.”

I dette tilfælde, dog, WBC gjort en undtagelse, og erklærede, at, på i Las Vegas sin 52th årlige kongres i december sidste år, Det Kovalev vs. Jean Pascal Bout vinderen ville være den obligatoriske udfordrer til Stevenson titel.

Herunder finde en kopi af Hyde brev til WBA:

 

 

Dear Chairman Mendoza:

 

Jeg skriver som leder af Guillermo Rigondeaux, Unified WBA / WBO Champion.

 

I write to request enforcement of the mandatory. Uniquely in the Super Bantamweight Division Guillermo Rigondeaux is the “Unified Champion” og Scott Quigg er “Regelmæssig Champion.”

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 ikke kan eller ikke bør opfylde sine obligatoriske forpligtelser over for hr. QUIGG.

 

We are aware that there are some discussions about a bout between Quigg and Frampton. Men, vi har været i kontakt med IBF, og de ikke vil sanktionere forening kamp med andre end det højeste niveau mester, som i dette tilfælde er Guillermo Rigondeaux.

 

Vi respektfuldt foreslå, at det er bedst at behandle den obligatoriske spørgsmål nu og anmode om, at Quigg og Guillermo rettes til at indlede forhandlinger.

 

Ærbødigst,

 

Gary Hyde

 

 

Hyde forvalter også WBA Interim cruiserweight mester Yuri “El Toro” Kalenga(21-1, 14 KOS), tidligere WBO mellemvægt mester og nuværende International Boxing Federation (IBF) Do Not. 1 obligatoriske udfordrer Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam (31-1, 18 KOS), og top super bantamvægt udsigten Mark Skov (1-0, 1 KO).

LAS VEGAS, NV (Marts 11, 2015) – Et par dage efter hans inspirerende indsats mod WBA Welterweight Champion, Keith Thurman (25-0, 21 KOS), Robert “The Ghost” Warrior er allerede frem til hans næste kamp. Guerrero is today’s version of a modern day gladiator who leaves everything in the ring. His never die fighting style is what fans of all ages are thriving to see. Sports fans around the world witnessed a “Fight of the Year” candidate when Guerrero and Thurman left everything in the ring. Guerrero speaks on his future.

 

“Selvom Thurman og jeg gik i krig, min krop er ved at komme godt,” sagde Robert Guerrero. “Så vanvittigt som det lyder, I’m ready to get back to work and start training. I’m hoping I can get back in the ring by the summer and finish off strong by the end of the year. If I can get two more fights in this year, I’ll be happy. I know the fans are looking forward to my next fight, og jeg er klar til at bringe dem en anden spændende nat handling.”

 

Bob Santos der co-leder Guerrero erklærede, “Efter at have kigget på kampen, Jeg indså Guerrero kæmpede en super-mellemvægt på Fight Night, which makes his fight with Thurman even more unbelievable. Guerrero who came up from 122 lbs. gik afstanden med en ubesejret mester, der kæmpede det meste af sin karriere hos 154 pounds, that’s incredible. The fans got to see a true warrior in Guerrero last Saturday, og vil komme til at se ham igen i den nærmeste fremtid.”

Guillermo Rigondeaux opmuntret af Oscar de la Hoya kommentar om Leo Santa Cruz forening kamp

Efterlad en kommentar

MIAMI (Jan. 28, 2015) – World Boxing Association (WBA) Super, World Boxing Organization (WBO) og The Ring Magazine super bantamvægt mester Regning “The Jackal” Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 KOS) er opmuntret af rapporterne, at World Boxing Council (WBC) titel-indehaver Leo Santa Cruz‘ promotor, Oscar de la Hoya, mener en Rigondeaux-Santa Cruz forening kamp skal ske.

 

Den 34-årige Rigondeaux, en to-tiden OL-guldvinder, er blevet begrænset til Asien for sine to sidste kampe, efterfølgende i lav profil kampe, på grund af manglende lyst ved enhver verdensklasse super bantamvægt at udfordre den cubanske stjerne.

 

Rigondeaux stoppet WBO Nej. 6 vurderet udfordrer Hisashi Amagasa (28-4-2, 19 KOS) efter 11 runder i Osaka, Japan dette tidligere nytårsaften. I juli sidste år, “Linje” slået ud Sod Kokietgym (62-2-1) i åbningen runde af deres kamp i Macao, Porcelæn.

 

“Det er godt at vide, at Santa Cruz’ promotor har udtalt, at vores forening kamp skal ske,” en ekstatisk Rigondeaux sagde. “Jeg ønsker at tilføje sin (WBC) grønne bælte til min WBA og WBO mesterskabet kollektion. Jeg har ønsket denne kamp i nogen tid. Lad os håbe det er ikke bare tom snak. Lad os gøre det!”

 

Rigondeaux vs. Santa Cruz (29-0-1, 17 KOS) ville være en klassisk opgør mellem etniske boksning ærkerivalerne, henholdsvis, Cubanske og mexicanske krigere, der nu bor i Miami og det sydlige Californien.

 

“Jeg har kontaktet Golden Boy Promotions mange gange for at spørge om at lave en kamp mellem "Rigo’ og Santa Cruz,” Rigondeaux’ Direktør Gary Hyde tilføjet. “De har altid svarede ved at sige at de var interesseret i at gøre denne kamp, ​​men ikke på det tidspunkt. I går, efter at lære Oscar sagde denne kamp skal ske, Jeg nåede ud til Golden Boy og kan bekræfte, at forhandlingerne har påbegyndt. Mig og Caribe Kampagner, 'Rigos’ promotor, vil bestræbe sig på at gøre denne kamp ske så hurtigt som muligt.

 

“Når 'Rigo’ beats Santa Cruz for hans tredje verden titel bælte – fjerde hvis man tæller Ringen Magazine – en kamp mod international Boxing Federation (IBF) mester Carl Frampton (19-0, 13 KOS) skulle ske for at bestemme den ubestridte super bantamvægt verdensmester.”
