 LAS VEGAS (April 5, 2016) – The April 16ke-10-round main event between Canadian welterweight Steve “The Dragon” Claggett and South Africa-native Chris “Haba” Van Heerden embodies the “Knockout Night at the D” philosophy in terms of featuring action fighters in evenly matched, entertaining bouts.
Yang “Knockout Night at the D” siri, disampaikan oleh D Las Vegas danPusat bandar Las Vegas Pusat Acara(DLVEC), dipromosikan oleh Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Promosi Tinju.
The April. 16ke- “Knockout Night at the D” event will air Sabtu malam, April 16 (8 petang. PT / 11 petang. DAN), hidup pada CBS Sports Network from under the neon lights at the DLVEC outdoor venue.
The broadcast team includes Jim “JR” Ross, Sean Wheelock dan bekas juara dunia 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 KOs), who is the reigning Canadian Professional Boxing Council and Canadian welterweight champion, is thrilled to be fighting in Las Vegas for the first time. “Ia impian yang menjadi kenyataan,” dia telah menerangkan. “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. Tak payah cakap, 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 KOs), fighting out of Santa Monica (SEPERTI), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) dan Persekutuan Tinju Antarabangsa (IBF) juara welterweight.
“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. Pada masa kini, walaupun, 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!”
