 LAS VEGAS (Ապրիլ 5, 2016) – ապրիլի 16րդ10-round main event between Canadian welterweight Steve “Վիշապը” Claggett and South Africa-native Chris “The Heat” Van 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” շարք, presented by որ D Las Vegas իսկԿենտրոն Las Vegas Events կենտրոն(DLVEC), նպաստում է Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions.

The broadcast team includes Jim “JR” Ross, Sean Wheelock եւ աշխարհի նախկին չեմպիոն Kevin “The Flushing Flash” Kelley. Joe Martinez is the ring announcer.
Claggett vs. 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 Նոկաուտով), who is the reigning Canadian Professional Boxing Council and Canadian welterweight champion, is thrilled to be fighting in Las Vegas for the first time. “Դա մի երազանքը,” he explained. “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. Needless to say, 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. Van Heerden (23-1-1, 12 Նոկաուտով), fighting out of Santa Monica (Ինչպես, օրինակ,), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) եւ բռնցքամարտի միջազգային ֆեդերացիայի (IBF) welterweight չեմպիոն.
“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. Այժմ, չնայած, 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 Errol Spence Jr. last September) and me coming off more than one fight falling through. This is a great match up. He is similar to the style of (Konstantin)Ponomarev (who Claggett lost an 8-round decision to last year) with range and movement. And that motivates me!”
