Bangor, Maine (Juli 16, 2018) - New England Fights (NEF) will hold its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 35: Wicked Season,” på September 8 at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor. Tidligere i dag, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the fight card. Josh “Hook On” Harvey (4-0) will return to the cage to take on Jay Ellis (15-79) på en kamp vekt på 155-pounds.

The fight with Ellis will take place just over 16 months since the last time Harvey did battle in the NEF cage. The former amateur lightweight champion is undefeated thus far in his professional career. Harvey has entered the cage four times in the pro ranks and has finished all four opponents in the first round with two knockouts and two submissions to his credit. He is a member of Young’s MMA based in Bangor, og “NEF 35” will be Harvey’s first opportunity to fight in front of his hometown fans, family and friends since “NEF Presents Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight” which took place at the Cross Insurance Center in August 2016.

“I’m excited to display the improvements I made since my last fight,” Harvey said. “Thankful for any opponent willing to hook on, will be one for the highlight reel for sure!"

Harveys motstander, Jay Ellis, is a longtime veteran of the sport based out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin where he trains with Team Knockout. Ellis regularly travels to New England to compete and has gained a cult following throughout the region. Last summer, he shocked Bangor fight fans by taking the fight to Ryan Sanders (16-9) and nearly upsetting the hometown favorite with a submission attempt before Sanders was able to score a come-from-behind victory.

“I’m so happy to be coming back to Maine to put on another great performance,” stated Ellis when reached for comment. “This time my hand will be raised high as the victorious one.”

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

Legg igjen en kommentar

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, mors, 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.

Philadelphia (Mars 5, 2015 ) – Denne fredagen natt på 2300 Arena i South Philadelphia, streaking tungvekt Joey Dawejko (13-3-2, 6 KO s) of Philadelphia takes on Enobong Umohette (9-2, 8 KO s) av Milwaukee, Wisconsin in a bout scheduled for 8-rounds.
Dawejko vil være på jakt etter sin fjerde strake første runde knockout og han nettopp fullført en måned lang treningsleir i Easton, PA.
Leiren besto av alle medlemmer av Mark Cipparone Club 1957 Ledelse og ga en god atmosfære som besto av så mange som et dusin boksere.
“Treningsleir gikk bra. My whole team was there and I am ready to go forFredag,” Said Dawejko.
I Umohette, Dawejko kjemper en fyr som han ikke vet mye om andre da han har kjempet for det meste i Midtvesten og innehar en knockout i løpet av USAs tidligere. Olympian, Dante Craig.
“Det er ikke mye bånd på ham. He is about 6-feet tall and he must be able to punch a little bit based on his record.”
Skulle den tidligere verdens Jr. Amateur mester seire, he could be in line for a Mai 8 oppgjør med Amir Mansour i en kamp som vil være en del av en ESPN Fredag Night Fights kortet.
“Det var ikke så vanskelig å holde fokus på denne kampen. I need this fight to put me in position for whatever fight is being talked about.”
Selv om Dawejko tre siste kamper har endt før slutten av første runde, han går aldri på jakt etter den tidlige stansen.
“Jeg har aldri gå inn i en hvilken som helst kamp ute etter å banke noen ut. We train for 8 runder eller mer, og hvis det kommer, det kommer.”
Dawejko vil være med å kjempe ekstra hardt som han og hans forlovede Maria venter sitt andre barn rundt April 9.
Han ønsket ikke å snakke for mye om Mansour, men Mansour artist vil bli ringside kalle handlingen på gfl.tv og Comcast og når du blir spurt om Dawejko ville ha noe å si til Mansour, “Jeg synes det er flott at Amir vil være ringside slik at han kan vitne til det han kan se frem til på Mai 8.”
Said Dawejko manager Mark Cipparone av Club 1957 Ledelse,” The reality is that Joey Dawejko “The Tank” har skapt en velfortjent buzz i boksing igjen. Jeg er sikker på at hans siste 3 kamper som ender på første runde eksplosiv KO-er har noe å gjøre med det! Og i dag, Jeg kan ikke synes å gå noe sted uten noen spør meg når “The Tank” vil være med å kjempe på nytt? Det er spennende fordi Joey har fornyet interesse for mange i boksing som strekker seg fra den dedikerte fan til den nye comer og alle i mellom. Alle ønsker å se Joey kampen!

Som en hands på manager jeg tilbringer mye tid i gym måle boksere og Joey har klart over gjennomsnittshastighet, over gjennomsnittlig effekt og viktigste han har en ekstremt høy bokse IQ. Som et resultat av denne, Joey har tjent både min oppmerksomhet og min fulle støtte, og jeg er stolt av sine prestasjoner. Følg med fordi det beste er ennå ikke kommet så store ting er i forkant for “Laget Dawejko”.
