 LAS VEGAS (Април 5, 2016) – The април 16тата10-round main event between Canadian welterweight Стив “Драконът” Claggett and South Africa-native Chris “The Heat” Ван Heerden embodies the “Knockout Night at the D” philosophy in terms of featuring action fighters in evenly matched, entertaining bouts.
The “Knockout Night at the D” серия, представен от на D Las Vegas иDowntown Las Vegas Събития Center(DLVEC), се насърчава от Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) боксови Промоции.
ГПР. 16тата “Knockout Night at the D” event will air Събота нощ, Април 16 (8 p.m. PT / 11 p.m. И), на живо по CBS Sports Network from under the neon lights at the DLVEC outdoor venue.

Claggett срещу. Van Heerden is a crossroads fight for both boxers with critical consequences, especially for the winner who will use it as an invaluable springboard for his boxing career.
The 26-year-old Claggett (23-3-1, 16 Нокаута), who is the reigning Canadian Professional Boxing Council and Canadian welterweight champion, is thrilled to be fighting in Las Vegas for the first time. “Това е сбъдната мечта,” той обясни. “I’ve trained in Las Vegas often but now it’s time to show what I can do there in a fight. A win will open many doors for me and could potentially lead to a path that will set up the rest of my boxing life. излишно да се каже, I am focused and prepared for the opportunity.”

Claggett, as well as Van Heerden, are known as high-action fighters, throwing punches in bunches, and something eventually has to give. Ван Heerden (23-1-1, 12 Нокаута), fighting out of Santa Monica (КАТО), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) и Международната федерация по бокс (IBF) полусредна категория шампион.
“Van Heerden is a rangy, quick and active fighter,” Claggett said. “I have an action style but, for many years, I was strictly a pressure fighter with a good body shot. В днешно време, въпреки че, I have a couple of more tricks up my sleeve. His heart and durability have been shown and is to be respected. This match-up is sure to produce some good exchanges. I expect this to be a high-action fight between two hungry fighters with him coming off a loss (to unbeaten rising star Ерол Спенс Jr. през септември миналата година) and me coming off more than one fight falling through. This is a great match up. He is similar to the style of (Константин)Ponomarev (who Claggett lost an 8-round decision to last year) with range and movement. And that motivates me!”
