MBC & PBA Ink Deal – British Masters Title Fights For MBC UK Events

Legg igjen en kommentar

It was announced earlier today that Malta Boxing Commission (MBC) and the Professional Boxing Association (PBA) have inked a deal, that will not only mean that the hugely popular British Masters Championship, but also the as well as the all new European Masters Championship, that is being created specifically for the MBC, can now be campaigned for on MBC sanctioned events in the United Kingdom for the first time.

 

For the past sixteen years or so, both the British and International Masters Championships have only been available on British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) sanctioned events in the UK, however with the MBC’s rapid growth in the United Kingdom, projected to be sanctioning in excess of forty events in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland in 2015, it became clear to PBA Chairman Mr Bruce Baker that there was potential for further growth for the Championships if they were also available on MBC sanctioned events.

 

Over the past sixteen years or so there have been close to six hundred Masters title fights that have taken place in the UK, many of the Masters Champions have then gone on to campaign for major accolades on the domestic, international and even the World stage.

 

The most famous of these Masters Champions is no less than former two division WBO World Champion Ricky Burns, who after winning the International Masters Super Featherweight title against Romania’s Gheorghe Ghiompirica in May 2008, was catapulted onto the International stage, where in his very next bout the Scotsman successfully challenged American based Ghanaian Osumanu Akaba for the vacant Commonwealth title.

 

Burn’s successfully defended the Commonwealth crown three times before moving onto the World scene, where he then successfully challenged then WBO World Super Featherweight Champion Roman Martinez from Puerto Rico.

 

Once more Burn’s successfully defended his WBO World Super Featherweight crown three times before moving up a division and beating Australia’s Michael Katsidis for the interim WBO World Lightweight title in November 2011.

 

On his very next fight Burn’s secured the full WBO World Lightweight title, beating Namibia’s Paulus Moses at the Braehead Arena in Glasgow in March 2012.

 

Burn’s successfully defended his second World title four times before succumbing to the skills of Omaha, USA’s Terence Crawford in March 2014.

 

With such an illustrious Championship career blossoming from Burns’ first tilt at a title, there can be no doubt of the importance of the Masters titles on the domestic scene, something that now can also benefit the boxers, both British and those from overseas that box on the UK events sanctioned by the MBC.

 

The inaugural Masters Championship, that will take place on an MBC sanctioned event in the UK, sees Czech Republic’s Nikolas Botos challenge Bradford’s Tasif Khan for the International Masters Bantamweight title on the Mark Lyons and Billy James-Elliott promoted event which takes place at York Hall in London on Saturday May 2nd.

Legendary Referee Mickey Vann To Officiate MBC’s Inaugural Scottish Event This Saturday

Legg igjen en kommentar

Legendary globe trotting Championship referee Mickey Vann will be making one of his shortest international journeys in a long while, this coming weekend, when he officiates the first Malta Boxing Commission (MBC) sanctioned event in Scotland, the Stewart Allan promoted event at the Rivals Gym in Wishaw on Saturday 25th April 2015.

 

Vann, who has been the MBC’s chief referee since 2013, has been officiating for close to forty years, the first bout he refereed was Eddie Smith versus Joe Jackson at the Anglo American Sporting Club in Manchester on the 11thOktober 1976.

 

It would be some seven years later before Vann refereed his first domestic Championship bout, the BBBofC Central Area Featherweight Title fight between Steve Pollard and Steve Farnsworth at the Tiffany’s Nightclub in Hull on the 29th Mars 1983.

 

Three years later Vann refereed his first International Championship contest, the Commonwealth Lightweight Title fight between Zimbabwe’s Langton Tinago and Australia’s Graeme Brooke at the Granada Studios in Manchester on 23rd August 1986.

 

With numerous British, Commonwealth and European title contests under his belt on the 8th Juni 1990 Vann refereed his first World Championship bout, the WBC World Minimumweight title fight between Japan’s Hideyuki Ohashi and Thailand’s Napa Kiatwanchai in Tokyo, Japan.

 

To date Vann has refereed one hundred and forty three International, Inter-Continental and World title contests for the World Sanctioning Organisations, such as WBC, WBO, IBF, WBU etc as well as an even higher number of European, Commonwealth, British and Irish domestic title fights during his eight hundred and eighty two bout career to date.

 

The most recent of these bouts being the WBO Inter-Continental Cruiserweight title fight between Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk and Russian Andry Knyazev, which took place in Kiev just last weekend.

 

In addition Vann has also judged one hundred and seventy three Championship contests since 1978, taking his officiating career total to an incredible one thousand and fifty five contests, sorry make that one thousand and fifty six contests if we include the upcoming event this weekend.

 

Shortly after returning from Kiev, the effervescent Vann spoke briefly about his career and the upcoming event he is to officiate in Scotland på lørdag.

 

“What can I say I didn’t realise I’d refereed that many fights,

 

My most memorable fight would naturally be Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno at Cardiff Arms Park, that was history.

 

But have refereed so many memorable fights, where do I start, Shea Neary and Mickey Ward, now that was a great fight.

 

There’s some from years ago I can remember, like Jean-Marc Renard against Farid Benredjeb, oh what a war that was, they both ended up in hospital.

 

Another memorable fight was Cassius Boloyi against Phillip Ndou, It was a war, en absolutt krig

 

They were two South Africans but from different tribes, they wanted me to referee it, not a South African, which was very much appreciated.

 

I remember refereeing the WBC mandatory Lightweight title fight, between Leavander Johnson and Miguel Angel Gonzalez, in a bullring, which was an experience.

 

I refereed in America Jorge Paez and Angel Manfredy, that was a terrific fight, in fact refereed three or four times in America.

 

I think if you count them all I think I refereed in thirty nine different countries, I left school at seven and went back at thirteen and left again at fourteen and I didn’t know at that time that there were that many countries in the world. Det gjorde jeg ikke, ærlig.

 

I just enjoy what I do, you know I’ve been to Russia, Argentina, Japan, all over, I just got back from Kiev.

 

People come up for photographs, even in Kiev, with Mickey the dancer and then they pretend they are you moving about, it’s lovely.

 

I pick out nothing really, I just pick out what has been the big fights that I’ve enjoyed.

 

I qualified as a star grade referee in 1978 and I’m still going, I’d done hundreds of fights by then, it’s not a job really, it’s just enjoyment as such.

 

I wasn’t a very good pro fighter, I was a pretty good amateur, I had sixty six fights as an amateur and lost nineteen, but you used to have three fights a day in the Championships, you fought in the morning, won that you fought in the afternoon and if you won that you fought at night to get through to the next round, in the Army Championships and the boys clubs sort of thing, that’s what we all did.

 

As a pro I have fourteen fights but I lost nine, but I enjoyed it, I’m glad I turned pro and I’m glad I fought, I’m glad I fought amateur and pro and I missed it when I retired and I wanted to do something and my manager suggested I referee, I wanted to coach but Tommy Miller, my manager said to me ‘Jesus Mick what could you teach anyone’, so he said to me you want to be a referee, so I put in for it and it took me two years and I qualified.

 

I’ve enjoyed every minute of it and some times have been better than others, in fact they used to hate me in Scotland, they thought I hated the Scots. I heard this on the radio many times.

 

Alex Morrison will tell you, he thought I was hater of Scotsmen, Jeg var ikke, just they never seemed to get the verdict from me, so it’s quite ironic that denne lørdagen it’s the Scottish promoter and the Scottish boxers that asked for me for this show.

 

I’ve always had great fun there and my all time favourite fighter is a Scotsman, Ken Buchanan, so it’s really nice that they want me to be there for the first MBC sanctioned event there, I can’t wait.”

 

Mickey Vann will be the referee for both the Sandy Robb versus Mathew Ellis and Scott Allan versus Isaac Quaye that co-headline the Stewart Allan (Rivaler Kampanjer) event at the Rivals Gym in Wishaw, Skottland på lørdag 25th April 2015.

 

Billetter priset £ 30 og £ 40 er tilgjengelig direkte fra noen av boksere som deltar, eller ring Stewart på 07711 725257.

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

Legg igjen 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) “regulær” 122-pund divisjon titlist.

 

A month ago in an unusual move, Rigondeaux’ sjef 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 The Ring magasinets super bantamvekt 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, kanskje, junior mellomvekt 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) mestere, 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, as the No. 1 super featherweight in the world. McGuigan, skjønt, 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 “regulær” WBA champion, Quigg is Rigondeaux’ obligatorisk utfordreren, ennå, 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 Lomatsjenko, 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 sa. “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, skjønt, 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) Do Not. 1 obligatorisk kandidat 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 Mark Forest (2-0, 2 KOs), Irish heavyweight Med Sheehan and Bulgarian light heavyweight Blagoy Naydenov.

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

Legg igjen en kommentar

MONTREAL (Mars 27, 2015) – Den konkretisering av The Ring, WBC, WBA, IBF og WBO lett tungvekt forening kamp mellom Adonis “Superman” Stevenson og Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev har tatt et viktig skritt. World Boxing Council (WBC) har bestilt en veske mulighet til å ta plass April 17 for å bestemme formidler av denne store begivenheten.

INITIALLY spurt av Groupe Yvon Michel (GYM) for å sikre den nødvendige tid til å forberede seg til en stor begivenhet som dette super kamp, WBC enige om å være vert vesken bud på April. 17 i Mexico.

Vinneren av denne vesken budet vil ha en fordel fremfor den andre arrangøren når det gjelder fastsettelse av dato, sted og TV-nettverk for lett tungvekt showdown. Hver gruppe vil splitte budet likt på en 50-50 basis.

Før Stevenson (25-1, 21 KOs) vs. Kovalev (27-0-1, 24 KOs) rumling kan skje, skjønt, både jagerfly må vinne sin neste bout. Stevenson, Haitis fødte Quebecer, har til å forsvare sin WBC og The Ring kroner April 4 i Quebec by mot Kamerun innfødte Sakio Bika (32-6-3, 21 KOs), mens Kovalev har 90 dager å gjennomføre en obligatorisk forsvar av sin IBF belte mot fransk Nadjib Mohammedi (37-3, 23 KOs) på et sted som skal bestemmes.

Stevensons promoter, GYM President Yvon Michel, blir opphisset av muligheten for å fremme det som kan være den største Lett tungvekt slagsmål av all-time. “Vi gikk videre fordi Adonis og hans team (rådgiver Al Haymon og hode trener Jevan Sukker Hill) ønsket denne awesome kampen til å skje,” Michel forklart. “Min boxer (Stevenson) ønsker å gi fansen, ikke bare fra Quebec, men fra rundt hele verden, kampen de virkelig ønsker.

“Adonis ble urettferdig anklaget for ducking Kovalev i fjor sommer, men hans endelige mål har alltid vært å bevise at han er kongen av lys tungvektere.”

“Alle snakker til meg om Sergey Kovalev,” WBC, Ringen og lineær verden lett tungvekt Stevenson lagt. “Jeg er fullt fokusert på Sakio Bika akkurat nå, men jeg virkelig ønsker å forene titlene. Jeg er kongen av min divisjon og klar til å bevise det.”

Den 37 år gamle southpaw, helt sikre på å vinne alle de store verdenstittelbelter, også bemerket, “Faktisk, de to titlene (WBA og IBF) at Bernard Hopkins tapte mot Kovalev skulle bli min, men Hopkins rømte til HBO i stedet for å kjempe meg.”

Med hjelp av den WBC

Godkjennings organer sjelden tillate vinnere av andre organisasjoner for å være en del i sine rangeringer. I dette tilfellet, men, WBC gjorde et unntak og uttalte at, på sitt 52th årlige kongress i desember i fjor i Las Vegas, den Kovalev vs. Jean Pascal bout vinneren ville være obligatorisk utfordreren for Stevenson tittel.

Betydningen og omfanget av en kamp med alle titlene på en enkelt divisjon på spill påvirket WBC Board of Governors for å ta den beslutningen.

“Det var en utmerket strategi av Kathy Duva (president i Main Events og Kovalev er promoter),” Michel kommen. “Adonis er nå forpliktet til å møte Kovalev i en forening bout, garanterer en enkel prosess uten lang, unnecessary bargaining. Vår mester vil ikke ned igjen, nedtellingen har nettopp startet.”

CORK, Irland (Mars 12, 2015) – Internasjonal boksing sjef Gary Hyde, president i Nowhere2Hyde Ledelse, har formelt begjært World Boxing Association (WBA) å håndheve en obligatorisk tittelen kampen mellom Hyde fighter, WBA Super & World Boxing Organization (WBO) super bantamvekt mester Regning “The Jackal” Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 KOs), og WBA “regulær” 122-pund divisjon titlist Scott Quigg (30-0-2, 22 KOs).

 

Under finner en kopi av Hyde brev til WBA:

 

 

Dear Chairman Mendoza:

 

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

 

I write to request enforcement of the mandatory. Uniquely in the Super Bantamweight Division Guillermo Rigondeaux is the “Enhetlig Champion” og Scott Quigg er “Regelmessig 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 bør ikke oppfylle sine obligatoriske forpliktelser mot Mr. Quigg.

 

We are aware that there are some discussions about a bout between Quigg and Frampton. Men, vi har vært i kontakt med IBF, og de vil ikke sanksjonere foreningen kampen med noen andre enn det høyeste nivået mester som i dette tilfellet er Guillermo Rigondeaux.

 

Vi respekt tyder på at det er best å forholde seg til den obligatoriske spørsmålet nå og be om at Quigg og Guillermo rettes å begynne forhandlinger.

 

Ærbødigst,

 

Gary Hyde
