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

Leave a comment

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, nativo, heritage, 36-year-old Oliveira (25-1-1, 20 Kos) 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. En Xuño 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.

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

Leave a comment
Cork, Irlanda (Abril 12, 2015) – Unified super bantamweight world champion Proxecto de lei “O Chacal” 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) “regular” 122-pound división campión.

 

A month ago in an unusual move, Rigondeaux’ manager 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) e The Ring campión super galo da revista.

 

A reigning world champion hasn’t been avoided by other world champions and top contenders like Rigondeux has for the past two years since, quizais, Middleweight Júnior Sergio Martínez, 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) e do Consello Mundial de Boxeo (WBC) champions, Carl Frampton e Leo Santa Cruz, respectivamente, 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, aínda, is interested in Frampton fighting Quigg in a U.K. enfrontamento, rather than a world mega-fight for three of the four major sanctioning world titles. As the “regular” WBA champion, Quigg is Rigondeaux’ desafiante obrigatorio, aínda, 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, e 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 “Liña” 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 dixo. “These three fighters are trying to fool the public into believing that fight o Non. 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, aínda, 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) Non. 1 candidato obrigatoria 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 “The Wolf” Ghvamichava (14-1-1, 11 Kos) , as well as top prospects such as Cuban super bantamweight Marcos Forestal (2-0, 2 Kos), Irish heavyweight Con Sheehan and Bulgarian light heavyweight Blagoy Naydenov.

Antes da Stevenson (25-1, 21 Kos) vs. Kovalev (27-0-1, 24 Kos) ronco pode ocorrer, aínda, Ambos loitadores deben gañar a súa próxima loita. Stevenson, o Quebecer nacido en Haití, ten que defender con éxito o seu WBC e The Ring coroas Abril 4 en Quebec City contra Camerún nativa Sakio Bika (32-6-3, 21 Kos), mentres Kovalev ten 90 días para realizar unha defensa obrigatoria do seu cinto IBF contra o francés Nadjib Mohammedi (37-3, 23 Kos) en lugar de ser determinado.

Promotor Stevenson, Presidente Gym Yvon Michel, está animado coa posibilidade de promover o que podería ser a maior loita dos medio-pesados ​​de todos os tempos. “Fomos adiante porque Adonis eo seu equipo (conselleiro Al Haymon e adestrador cabeza Jevan Azucre Outeiro) quería esa loita incrible para pasar,” Michel explicou. “Meu boxer (Stevenson) quere dar aos seus fans, non só desde Quebec, pero a partir de en torno a todo o mundo, a loita que realmente queren.

“Adonis foi inxustamente acusado de rexeitaron Kovalev o verán pasado, pero o seu obxectivo final sempre foi o de probar que é o rei dos medio-pesados.”

“Todo o mundo fala comigo sobre Sergey Kovalev,” WBC, O Stevenson Anel e lineal luz campión mundial dos pesos pesados ​​engadidos. “Estou totalmente enfocado en Sakio Bika agora, pero eu realmente quero unificar os títulos. Eu son o rei da miña división e listo para probalo.”

A importancia e magnitude dunha loita con todos os títulos dunha única división en xogo influenciou o Consello de Gobernadores WBC para tomar esta decisión.

Noso campión non vai recuar, a conta atrás xa comezou.”

Director Gary Hyde peticións WBA Para impoñer loita polo título obrigatorio Entre Rigondeaux e Quigg

Leave a comment

 

Cork, Irlanda (Marzo 12, 2015) – Director internacional de boxeo Gary Hyde, presidente da Xestión Nowhere2Hyde, xa pediron formalmente á Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (WBA) para impoñer unha loita polo título obrigatorio entre loitador de Hyde, WBA Super & Organización Mundial de Boxeo (WBO) super galo campión Proxecto de lei “O Chacal” Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 Kos), e WBA “regular” 122-pound división campión Scott QUIGG (30-0-2, 22 Kos).

 

Abaixo está unha copia da carta de Hyde ao WBA:

 

 

Dear Chairman Mendoza:

 

Eu escribo como o director de Guillermo Rigondeaux, o WBA / WBO campión unificado.

 

I write to request enforcement of the mandatory. Uniquely in the Super Bantamweight Division Guillermo Rigondeaux is the “Unified Champion” e Scott Quigg é a “Campión Regular.”

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 non pode ou non debe cumprir as súas obrigas vinculantes contra o Sr. QUIGG.

 

We are aware that there are some discussions about a bout between Quigg and Frampton. Con todo, temos estado en contacto co IBF e eles non van sancionar a loita de unificación con alguén que non sexa o máis alto nivel de campión, que neste caso é Guillermo Rigondeaux.

 

Nós respetamos suxerir que é mellor para xestionar a cuestión obrigatoria agora e petición que Quigg e Guillermo ser dirixido para dar inicio ás negociacións.

 

Respectuosamente,

 

Gary Hyde

“Aínda Thurman e eu fun á guerra, meu corpo está recuperando así,” dixo Robert Guerrero. “Tan tolo como parece, 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, e eu estou listo para trae-los máis unha noite emocionante de acción.”

 

Bob Santos que co-administra Guerrero afirmou, “Despois de ollar para a loita, Entender Guerrero estaba loitando contra unha super-medios na noite da loita, which makes his fight with Thurman even more unbelievable. Guerrero who came up from 122 lbs. foi a distancia cun campión invicto que loitou maior parte da súa carreira na 154 libras, that’s incredible. The fans got to see a true warrior in Guerrero last Saturday, e comezará a velo de novo nun futuro próximo.”

Eu e Caribe Promotions, 'Rigo da’ promotor, envidar todos os esforzos para facer esa loita ocorrer o máis rápido posible.

 

“Once 'Rigo’ bate Santa Cruz para o cinto terceiro título mundial – cuarta se contamos The Ring Revista – a loita contra a Federación Internacional de Boxeo (IBF) campión Carl Frampton (19-0, 13 Kos) tería que acontecer, a fin de determinar a indiscutible campión super galo do mundo.”
