די “Knockout Night at the D” סעריע, presented by די ד לאַס וועגאַס אוןונטערשטאָט לאַס וועגאַס עווענץ צענטראַל(דלוועק), איז פּראָמאָטעד דורך רוי דזשאָנעס דזשוניער. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions.

די אפריל. 16^טה “Knockout Night at the D” event will air שבת נאַכט, אַפּריל 16 (8 פּ.ם. פּט / 11 פּ.ם. און), לעבן אויף קבס ספורט נעטוואָרק from under the neon lights at the DLVEC outdoor venue.

The broadcast team includes Jim “דזשוניער” Ross, שאָן כווילאַק און פרייַערדיק וועלט מייַסטער קעווין “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 קאָס), who is the reigning Canadian Professional Boxing Council and Canadian welterweight champion, is thrilled to be fighting in Las Vegas for the first time. “עס ס אַ חלום קומען אמת,” 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.”

קלאַגגעטט, as well as Van Heerden, are known as high-action fighters, throwing punches in bunches, and something eventually has to give. וואַן העערדען (23-1-1, 12 קאָס), fighting out of Santa Monica (אַזאַ ווי), is a former International Boxing Organization (יבאָ) און ינטערנאַטיאָנאַל באָקסינג Federation (יבף) וועלטערווייט מייַסטער.

“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. נאַואַדייז, כאָטש, 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 עראַל ספּענסע דזשוניער. 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!”

Undefeated Lancaster, California welterweight Neeco “Rooster” Macias (11-0, 4 קאָס) מיץ Limberth “בליץ” Ponce, דזשוניער. (10-2, 8 קאָס), of Rock Island, יללינאָיס, in the 8-round co-feature.
