LAS VEGAS (Април 7, 2016) – South African welterweight Chris “The Heat” Ван Heerden is on a mission to torch his Canadian opponent Стив “Драконът” Claggett, in their 12-round main event, хедлайнер “Knockout Night at the D”.
ГПР. 16тата “Knockout Night at the D” event will air Съботанощ, 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.
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.
During his 10-year professional career, Van Heerden has defeated quality opponents such as Ramon Avila, Сесил МакКала, Ray Цена, Cosme Rivera,Mathew Hilton, и Sebastian Andres Lujan.
“A win over Claggett will put my career right back to where we need it to be,” Van Heerden said. “Winning this fight is my only option! I’m predicting a win, nothing less. Fans watching me fight for the first time can expect to watch a fighter with speed and footwork. I’m a winner who is going to win this fight no matter what.”
Claggett (23-3-1, 16 Нокаута) is the reigning Canadian Professional Boxing Council and Canadian welterweight champion. “Claggett’s strength is his comin’ forward aggression and that’s how he’s got most of his opponents to give up,” Van Heerden noted. “I know I’ve faced guys with more power. I’m expecting a hard fight, nothing easy, and it will be entertaining.”
 The 28-year-old Van Heerden moved to Santa Monica two years ago after he wiped out the top South African fighters in his weight class. He has the strong support of actor Frank Grillo, who has appeared in numerous movies, включително и Warrior, The Grey, End of Watch, Captain America: The Winter Soldier и The Purge: Anarchy. “Frank Grillo is like a father/brother figure to me and he has been since I met him,” Van Heerden explained their relationship. He motivates me on a daily basis. I’m blessed to be around him.”
