Kareem Hackett (R)(Photo inneign: Cris Esquida/15:00) LOS ANGELES (Mars 21, 2024) - Ósigrað World Boxing Association í Toronto (WBA) Intercontinental léttþungavigtarmeistari Kareem “Supreme” Hackett (12-0, 6 Kos) mun verja sína fyrstu titil í mars 30th gegn Rowdy Legend Montgomery (10-5-1, 7 Kos) í 10 umferða leik á Golden Boy Promotions-spjaldinu undir fyrirsögn WBA Cruiserweight heimsmeistaratitilbardagans á milli Arsen Goulimarian sem á titil að verja og hesthúsafélaga Hacketts., Gilberto „Zurdo“ Ramirez, fyrrverandi heimsmeistari í ofurmillivigt. Öllum hasarnum verður streymt beint á DAZN frá YouTube leikhúsinu í Los Angeles. WBA nr. 13 heimsmetinn Hackett náði kórónu sinni í september síðastliðnum 20th í Plant City, Florida, þegar hann ráða 4-1 uppáhalds og áður ósigraði Clay Waterman (11-0, 8 Kos) á leið til 10 umferða samhljóða ákvörðunar, þar sem hann vann alla 10 umferðir á tveimur skorkortum dómaranna og níu á hinum dómaranum. „Ég hefði viljað berjast fyrr en svona gengur þetta fyrirtæki,“ sagði Hackett. „Það er erfiðara að fá bardaga eftir að hafa unnið titilinn minn en það var. Margt gott hefur gerst frá síðasta bardaga mínum. Ég skil. Ég er með titil og er á heimslistanum. Ég á skýrari leið í átt að heimsmeistaratitli. Ég þakka öll tækifæri til að komast í hringinn.” „Ég fæ meiri virðingu síðan ég sýndi hæfileika mína á ProBox.TV. (Fréttamenn) Juan Manual Marguez, Paulie Malignaggi og Chris Algieri gáfu mér fullt af leikmunum og það hefur verið mjög sannfærandi.” Hackett hefur öðlast ómetanlega reynslu af því að spara heimsmeistara eins og „Zurdo“ Ramirez, Dmitry Bivol, Peter "Kid Súkkulaði" Quillin, Sergio Mora, Mathew Macklin og David Benavidez. Hackett hefur þegar komið fyrstur með hnefaleikakappa frá Toronto hvað varðar bardaga á Golden Boy Promotions kort og verða handhafi WBA Inter-Continental léttþungavigtar titils.. „Ég er brautryðjandi fyrir hnefaleika í Toronto,“Hackett, ókeypis umboðsmaður kynningar, útskýrði með miklu stolti. „Ég vil fá fyrsta heimsmeistaratitilinn heim, fyrir víst, og einn daginn hinir óumdeildu og sameinuðu titlar, of, Toronto er stór borg með mikla náttúruhæfileika, en ég veit ekki hvers vegna hnefaleikar hafa ekki þrifist þar.“ Hackett er þjálfaður af hraðvaxandi Julian Chua í Brickhouse Boxing Club í Norður-Hollywood (EINS) og stjórnað af 3 Punktastjórnun (3 PM). "(Dmitry) Bivol er í fararbroddi léttþungavigtarinnar, og ég veit að hann er sterkur strákur,“ sagði Hackett. „Við höfum breytt nokkrum hlutum frá síðasta bardaga mínum með lokin í huga. Við höfum þrefaldast, styrkslega séð, því þegar við rekumst á hann. Það er aðalbreytingin. Mér finnst ég vera liprasti bardagamaðurinn í deildinni okkar og ég er að vinna að því að verða sterkari til að passa við hæfileika mína og greindarvísitölu." Í 2024, Hackett vill bæta við vélbúnaði og berjast við topp 10 andstæðing en, allavega í bili, hann er ánægður með að vera í baráttu sinni við Montgomery á sínu öðru heimili, Los Angeles. „Ég elska að þessi bardagi er í LA,“ sagði Hackett að lokum. „Mér líður vel í Los Angeles. Mér finnst ég vera heima hér og berjast á öðrum stöðum í Kaliforníu. Ég er líka spenntur að berjast á korti sem einn af nánustu vinum mínum í hnefaleikum hefur fyrirsögnina (Southpaw)."

Gilberto „Zurdo“ Ramirez að berjast fyrir arfleifð sinni |
LOS ANGELES (Mars 20, 2024) -- Gilberto „Zurdo“ Ramirez, fyrrum ofurmillivigtarmeistari Alþjóða hnefaleikasambandsins (45-1, 30 Kos) er að berjast fyrir arfleifð sinni, byrjun mars 30th þegar hann ögrar ósigruðu World Boxing Association (WBA) Arsen „Feroz“ Goulamirian heimsmeistaratitil í krúsvigt (21-0, 14 Kos) í You Tube leikhúsinu í Hollywood Park í Inglewood, California. Goulamirian vs. Aðalviðburður Zurdo segir sterkt spil, kynnt af Golden Boy Promotions í tengslum við Y12 Boxing, sem verður streymt beint á DAZN. Ramirez, 32, var fyrsti mexíkóski hnefaleikakappinn til að vinna heimsmeistaratitil í ofur millivigt og nú vill hann endurtaka þennan fordæmalausa árangur gegn Goulamirian, meistarinn sem er fæddur í Armeníu sem býr í Frakklandi og æfir í Big Bear, California. „Að verða fyrsti Mexíkó-fæddi heimsmeistarinn í krúsvigt og tveggja deilda heimsmeistari er mjög mikilvægt fyrir mig,“ sagði Ramirez. „Arfleifð er það eina sem við skiljum eftir í þessum heimi, Ég var stoltur af því að vera fyrsti Mexíkóinn til að verða heimsmeistari í ofurmillivigt og ég get ekki beðið eftir að verða sá fyrsti aftur í krúservigt. „Ég er enn að læra á hverjum degi. Joe Smith var erfitt verkefni og ég þurfti að innleiða eitthvað nýtt í stílinn minn. Og þessi barátta er ekkert öðruvísi; í hverri herbúðum reyni ég að bæta við einhverju nýju til að auka möguleika mína á að vinna. Mér líður vel í þessari þyngd. Eðlilega, eftir því sem ég varð eldri, það var erfiðara að þyngjast og nú virðist allt vera auðveldara. Eins og ég segi alltaf, það er enginn betri kennari en reynsla í þessu lífi." Lokamarkmið Zurdo, þó, er að verða þriggja deildar heimsmeistari, miðar á þungavigtardeildina þegar hann hefur hreinsað upp þyngdarflokkinn. „Það er enn hægt að berjast í þessari deild,“ útskýrði Zurdo. „Ég myndi elska að sameinast og/eða verða óumdeildur meistari áður en ég fer upp. Þegar allt er sagt og gert, Markmið mitt er að verða fjöldeildarmeistari og enda feril minn sem þungavigt.“ UPPLÝSINGAR: Website: www.ZurdoPromotions.comFacebook: /ZurdoPromotions, /GilbertoZurdoRamirez Instagram: @zurdoramirez, @zurdopromotionsTwitter: @ZurdoPromotions, @GilbertoZurdoRamirez UM ZURDO KYNNINGAR: Höfuðstöðvar í Las Vegas og Mexíkó, Zurdo Promotions er fyrsta bardagaíþróttin/viðburðurinn undir forystu fyrrverandi heimsmeistara, Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez.

McAllister KOs Djarbeng – Adds a WBO Title To His Collection of Championship Accolades
Perfect connection Gilberto“Zurdo” Ramirez & Trainer Julian Chua
LAS VEGAS (Maí 25, 2021) – Back in February of 2019, Heimur Boxing Organization (WBO) Super Middleweight ChampionGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez had made a decision to move up to fight in the light heavyweight division, and he was searching for a new head trainer.
Ramirez (41-0, 27 Kos) immediately connected with a then 28-year-oldJulian Chua, a former amateur boxer who had been training boxers atFreddie Roach’s famed Wildcard Boxing Club in Hollywood, California. “Zurdo” and Chua are now 2-0 (2 Kos) and preparing for a mega-fought later this year, ideally, against undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Light Heavyweight ChampionDmitry Bivol (17-0, 11 Kos).
How Ramirez ended up with Chua as he head trainer isn’t a typical boxing story. After all, “Zurdo” was the first Mexican world super middleweight champion, sporting a 29-0 pro record, and only 27 when they first met.
Ramirez’ manager, David Suh, conducted a search to hire Ramirez’ chief second. He had a list that included some of the top trainers in the industry, as well as a young, relatively unknown – at least outside of southern California – in Chua.
“I don’t know how I got on that list,” a humble Chua said. “There was going to be a tryout of sorts to determine who would work with ‘Zurdo.’ We trained together in Long Beach (where Ramirez was training) and then I met with David for coffee. He asked if I was interested in becoming the head trainer. We trained together a little more. He liked the way I trained, and we got along well. I texted David saying we liked working together and that I was interested in becoming his head trainer.
“We clicked right away, and we learned things about each other and how we liked to train. I study a lot and do a lot of research of how he had been trained, because I wanted to help him to improve. I was getting four fighters ready in LA and “Zurdo” couldn’t go there for sparring. I said I couldn’t leave these fighters and go to Santa Barbara. “Zurdo” respected me even more for not jumping ship from those four fighters for a better opportunity. We still wanted to work with each other, and ‘Zurdo’ made it work. I went to Long Beach twice a week, he came to Wildcard three times.”
Ramirez won his light heavyweight debut April 12, 2019, þegarTommy Karpency (29-6-1) var ekki að halda áfram eftir fjórar umferðir, followed last December 18th með a 10th round stoppage ofAlfonso Lopez (32-3) to capture the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) titill.
Chua was trained by Roach when he was an amateur from Indiana, but when Chua started at Wildcard, Roach’s assistantEric Brown became Chua’s mentor. During his training career atWildcard West Boxing, known now as Churchill Boxing in Santa Barbara, Chua has trained several world champions in boxing and MMA.
The 29-year-old Ramirez, who recently signed an exclusive promotional contract withOscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, is currently ranked No. 3 by the WBA and WBO. “Zurdo” returns to action July 9th in Los Angeles againstSullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 Kos).
Whether it’s Bivol, or the other world light heavyweight champions — Artur Beterbiev ogJoe Smith – “Zurdo” and Chua are preparing to beat the best for Ramirez to wear the coveted World championship crown in a second division.

SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION Saturday, Maí 9 Á 9 p.m. OG / 6 p.m. PT
NEW YORK – March 11, 2020 – Undefeated three-division world champion Claressa Shields will attempt to become the first boxer in the four-belt era to become an undisputed world champion in two weight divisions when she faces unbeaten IBF Super Welterweight Champion Marie-Eve Dicaire in a 154-pound unification bout on Saturday, Maí 9, lifa á Showtime(9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT) from the Dort Federal Credit Union Event Center in Shields’ hometown of Flint, mig.
The winner of the SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION main event will walk away with Shields’ WBC and WBO titles, Dicaire’s IBF belt, and the WBA (Super) crown. This is the first time in its 99-year history that the WBA has awarded a Super Champion belt to a female boxer.
Tickets for the Salita Promotions event start at $35 and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com and at the Dort Federal Credit Union Event Center box office.
“I can’t wait to make history again on May 9,” said Shields. “Fighting in Flint in front of all my fans has been a dream of mine since turning pro. Having the opportunity to make history by fighting for the undisputed title in a second weight division is something I’m very proud of. Fighting against undefeated IBF 154-pound champion Marie-Eve Dicaire continues my quest to fight the very best in women’s boxing. And headlining on SHOWTIME again will continue my goal to lift women’s boxing to new heights. I’m going to give Flint and fight fans all over the world a night to remember on May 9!"
“I am very excited for this opportunity and it is an honor to face an opponent like Claressa Shields,” said Dicaire. “I am thankful to my promoter Yvon Michel and everyone involved in making this possible. For me, this is a dream come true. I will be prepared the best I can be and I am ready to leave everything in the ring to win the fight!"
In the four-belt era, only seven fighters have been undisputed in one division, including Shields, Katie Taylor, Cecilia Braekhus, Bernard Hopkins, Jermain Taylor, Terence Crawford, and Oleksandr Usyk.
janúar 10 í Atlantic City, NJ, Shields made history by claiming the WBC and WBO 154-pound world championships with a dominating unanimous decision over Ivana Habazin. Shields became the fastest fighter in history, male or female, to win world titles in three different weight divisions, surpassing the records of Vasiliy Lomachenko and Kosei Tanaka, who both accomplished the feat in 12 berst.
The 24-year-old Shields (10-0, 2 Kos) overpowered Habazin from the opening bell, utilizing a strong jab and a steady diet of body shots that left the Croatian mostly in defensive mode throughout the 10-round fight. In the sixth round, a series of body shots forced Habazin to take a knee in the first knockdown of her career.
“SHOWTIME has a long history of featuring the best in women’s combat sports, whether it was with Gina Carrano, Cris Cyborg and Ronda Rousey in MMA, or Laila Ali and Christy Martin in boxing,” said Gordon Hall, Executive Producer of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION. “More recently, we have shown Claressa Shields, Christina Hammer, Lightweight Champion Katie Taylor and seven-division champion Amanda Serrano. Shields vs. Dicaire will be our 12th women’s boxing event since 2017. Claressa’s bout with Dicaire represents another historic battle of unbeatens and attempt for another ‘first’ on SHOWTIME as Claressa looks to become undisputed in two weight classes.”
“I am excited to bring a historic night of boxing to fans in Flint at the Dort Federal Credit Union Event Center and to those watching on SHOWTIME,” said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions. “In Claressa Shields and Marie-Eve Dicaire, we have the two best junior middleweights in the world and two undefeated champions fighting for the undisputed world championship. In addition to her already historic list of firsts, if victorious, Claressa will become the first two-division undisputed champion in the four-belt era. It will be a triumphant night in Flint on May 9.”
After becoming the first American boxer in history – male or female – to win two consecutive Olympic Gold Medals, Shields turned professional following the 2016 Olympics and headlined the first women’s boxing main event in premium cable television history in just her second professional fight in 2017. Shields, who will be headlining for the seventh time on SHOWTIME, now has her sights on making even more history.
“Claressa Shields continues to be a beacon of light and a trailblazer for women’s boxing, women’s sports, and boxing overall,” said Mark Taffet, Shields’ manager. “Being the only American to win back-to-back Olympic Gold in boxing, having won world titles in three weight divisions faster than any man or woman in boxing history, and now having the chance to be the first person – man or woman – to be an undisputed champion in two weight divisions in the four-belt era, Claressa will continue to add to her list of legendary, unprecedented and history-making accomplishments come May 9. I’m proud to be a part of her journey.”
The 33-year-old Dicaire (17-0) is from Saint-Eustache, Quebec, Canada, and started karate at the age of six. She worked her way up through the ranks until she obtained her black belt. After winning five world championship titles, Dicaire turned her attention to boxing and won the IBF Super Welterweight World Championship belt in December 2018 dethroning by decision the Uruguayan Chris Namus at the Quebec City Videotron Center. In her last fight in November of 2019, Dicaire defended her title for the third time beating experienced Venezuelan Ogleidis Suarez by unanimous decision. Dicaire will be fighting outside of the province of Quebec for the first time on May 9 and will be looking to score the upset victory in front of Shields’ hometown fans.
“Marie-Eve Dicaire against Claressa Shields, a battle of two undefeated champions for all the titles – you can’t get a better match in boxing,” said Yvon Michel, Dicaire’s promoter, Forseti ræktina. “We have great respect and admiration for all Shields has accomplished but there is no doubt Marie-Eve is the most skilled, strong and dedicated opponent Claressa has faced. We are very confident that all the belts will come back to Canada with us. Thanks to Salita Promotions and SHOWTIME for the opportunity. Marie-Eve Dicaire will provide a great fight for the fans and viewers.”
