Selina Barrios vs. Lisa Porter NABF Lightweight Title On The Line
סאַן אַנטאָניאָ, טקס (דעצעמבער 18, 2017) – The two most avoided female boxers’ in the country are about to face each other, in what looks to be an all-out war, when undefeated sensation, לייטווייט סעלינאַ “אַזטעק מלכּה” נעיגהבאָרהאָאָדס, takes on the dangerous “כיינעוודיק” ליסאַ טרעגער.
On the line will be the NABF lightweight title, as both fighters were granted by the NABF committee to fight for this respected belt. The 10-round bout will take place at the Rapides Parish קאָליסעום אויף דעצעמבער 29, 2017, אין אלעקסאנדריע, לאַ. The only other female pro to fight for a major title this quickly is 2-time gold medalist Clarissa Shields.
When everyone in the lightweight division has refused to fight Barrios or Porter, the two agreed to fight each other. Barrios is a winner of four Ringside World Amateur Titles to go along with her many national championships. Porter was a decorated amateur herself, winning three National PAL championships, US Golden Gloves, and was a US National Silver medalist. Both fighters are coming in with undefeated records.
To put things in perspective, נעיגהבאָרהאָאָדס’ last opponent דזשאַסמינע קלאַרקסאַן, was world champion Katie Taylor’s sixth opponent, before Taylor fought for the WBA world title. In Porter’s case, she fought to a draw with Katonya Fisher, who defeated Jessica McCaskill, who is just went the distance with Taylor for WBA world title.
“I’m very excited to be fighting for the NABF title,” said Selina Barrios. “All I want is an opportunity to win a world title, and winning the NABF belt will get me closer to my dream of becoming a world champion. I know I’m going to be facing a dangerous opponent in Lisa Porter, but nothing comes easy in boxing. מיט אַז זייַענדיק האט, I’m willing to fight anyone they put in front of me. I’m confident I can win this fight. I just want to fight the best and prove I’m elite.”
“I’m glad Selina Barrios and I have come to an agreement to make this fight happen, especially for the NABF title,” stated Lisa Porter. “It’s been tough getting opponents to step in the ring with me, so this is truly a blessing. I’m very grateful to the folks at the NABF for sanctioning this fight. Selina Barrios is going to be a tough test, but one I believe I can pass. The fans are going to see a great fight.”
“With Selina being the most avoided female fighter in boxing, I had to do my part on getting her ranked by the NABF,” said advisor Kerry Daigle. “It’s not going to be an easy road to the top. There’s a lot of good fighters out there with a lot of experience that she’s going to have to fight. That will be the case when Selina steps in the ring with Lisa Porter, who has a plethora of amateur experience. She, also is one of the most avoided fighters in the lightweight division. This will be a battle of two fighters who are putting everything on the line to advance their career to the next level.

CLARESSA SHIELDS TO DEFEND WOMEN’S SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT WORLD TITLES AGAINST UNDEFEATED MANDATORY CHALLENGER TORI NELSON FRIDAY, יאַנואַר 12 לעבן אויף שאָווטימע®
וניפיעד טשאַמפּיאָן & Two-Time Olympic Gold Medalist Headlines ShoBox: The New Generation From Turning Stone Resort Casino In Verona, נ.י..
נייַ יארק (נאוועמבער. 8, 2017) – Unified Women’s Super Middleweight World Champion Claressa Shields will defend her 168-pound titles against undefeated IBF mandatory challenger Tori Nelson on Friday, Jan. 12 לעבן אויף שאָוטיים.
A two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, שיעלדס (4-0, 2 קאָס) will face her second consecutive undefeated opponent in the main event of שאָבאָקס: די ניו גענעראַטיאָן לעבן אין 10 פּ.ם. און/PT from Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, נ.י..
Shields dethroned previously unbeaten Nikki Adler אויגוסט. 4 on SHOWTIME to pick up the WBC and vacant IBF titles less than one year after she became the first American boxer to capture back-to-back Olympic gold medals. The 22-year-old native of Flint, מיטש., returns to face Nelson, a seven-year veteran with seven times the professional ring experience.
“I’m truly excited to have the chance to demonstrate my skills against an opponent the caliber of Tori Nelson,” Shields said. “I’m honored to be headlining the firstשאָבאָקס פון 2018, and I know יאַנואַר 12 will be a great night for the fans. This will be the beginning of a historic year for me and for women’s boxing.”
נעלסאָן (17-0-3, 2 קאָס) won a middleweight world championship in 2011 and owns wins over previously unbeaten Alicia Napoleon and Mia St. יוחנן. The 41-year-old Ashburn, וואַ., native looks to capture her second world title in a showdown with the fastest rising star in women’s boxing.
“Ever since Claressa turned pro, I have wanted this fight,” Nelson said. “She’s young and talented, but my experience will make the difference. Since I became a boxer, I have dreamed of being in big fights on television. I am confident that I will win this fight and remain undefeated. And I plan to retire as an undefeated world champion.”
טיקקעץ פֿאַר די געשעעניש, which is promoted by Salita Promotions, גיין אויף פאַרקויף מאָנטיק, נאוועמבער. 13 פֿאַר $75 for the first two rows of ringside, $65 for remaining ringside seats and all others priced at $49 און $37, plus any applicable fees. Tickets can be purchased in person or by calling the Turning Stone Resort Box Office at 800.771.7711אָדער אָנליין בייַ טיקקעטמאַסטער.
“Claressa’s determination to challenge the best available contenders shows why she is one of the most accomplished fighters in the sport today,” promoter Dmitriy Salita said. “This is a great matchup and I am confident that we will witness another memorable performance.”
Said Gordon Hall, יגזעקיאַטיוו פּראָדוצירער פון שאָבאָקס: די ניו גענעראַטיאָן: “Claressa is a star both in and out of the ring who possesses all the intangibles to become the face of women’s boxing. In just four professional fights, two as headliners on שאָבאָקס, she is already unified champion at 168 with plans to conquer the 160 and 154-pound divisions. Tori Nelson is undefeated, a former champion, and represents what should be the toughest test of Claressa’s young career. Only time will tell, but I don’t know if there is any fighter in the world who can stop Claressa Shields.”
Shields compiled an amateur record of 77-1 and won her first Olympic Gold when she was only 17 years old in the inaugural women’s boxing competition at the 2012 London Games. She won a second gold medal at the 2016 Olympics in Rio and turned professional three months later.
אין מאַרץ 2017 אין דעטראָיט, Shields stopped Hungary’s Szilvia Szabados in four rounds in the first women’s main event in premium television history. Shields returned to headline her second שאָבאָקס telecast in August, knocking out Adler in the fifth round to become unified champion in just her fourth professional fight. מיט די געווינען, Shields became the 70טה world champion in the history of the prospect developmental series.
Active in her community, Shields advocates for several social issues and serves as an inspirational figure in her hometown of Flint, a city beset by problems.
Nelson turned professional at the age of 29 and won the WBC 160-pound title in just her fifth professional fight. She twice fought to a draw in middleweight world title bouts with Teresa Perozzi.
The high-pressure Nelson is one fight removed from a unanimous decision over the previously unbeaten Napoleon, and is fresh off a second round knockout of Latashia Burton in her first hometown fight in Ashburn, וועל.
Undercard bouts for the שאָבאָקס telecast will be announced in the coming weeks.
