Super Prospect Shohjahon Ergashev Returns Against African Puncher Badru Lusambya on December 14


It’s Shoh Time!

A year ago, Shohjahon “Shoh” Ergashev was a little-known super lightweight prospect from Central Asia.


Echter, being able to punch holes in brick walls has a way of helping people remember your name and the Uzbekistani power puncher has taken the boxing world by storm this year.

Met meer dan 300,000 followers on Instagram and his brutal knockout videos on YouTube regularly getting over 500,000 keer bekeken, 2018 is Shoh time.

Promoted by Salita Promotions, boxing’s Russian diamond mine, Ergashev (14-0, 13 KO) has recently signed a co-managerial deal with TV executive turned super manager Mark Taffet. He will be looking to further his growing reputation on December 14 in a 10-round showdown against Uganda’s Badru Lusambya (26-4-2, 24 KO) in Krasnodar, Rusland.

“I am very happy to be able to show my skills to my fans in Russia on December 14 and I am training hard for a great victory,Zei Ergashev. “Nothing will stop me from realizing my dreams!"
The showdown against Lusambya will be Ergashev’s fifth ring appearance this year (4-0, 3 KO). He started the year with an impressive nationally televised TKO 3 over then 18-0 Sonny Fredrickson.

“Shohjahon has had a tremendous year fighting both in the US and Russia on a consistent basis,” said Dmitriy Salita of Salita Promotions. “His skills, power and charisma are making him a star on both continents. I look forward to a spectacular performance against Lusambya to end the year.”

26-year-old Ergashev is the current WBA International Super Lightweight Champion. His brand-new co-manager Mark Taffet says he appreciates the Uzbek’s willingness to take on dangerous opponents anywhere and any time.

“We are very excited that Shohjahon will be returning to the ring in Russia in what should be a tremendous fight between two knockout artists. The fans are in for a real treat December 14 as Shoh continues his march toward a world title.”

Bellator: Mitrione versus. Kharitonov wordt vrijdag uitgezonden, Februari 15 op Paramount Network op 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT en zal LIVE streamen op DAZN.

Bellator: MVP versus. Daleystreamt exclusief op DAZN op zaterdag, Februari 16 bij 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT. De voorbereidende actie voor beide evenementen wordt gestreamd op Bellator.com en wereldwijd op de Bellator Mobile App. Extra periodes zal worden aangekondigd in de komende weken.

Fresh off an impressive semi-final run in Bellator’s Heavyweight World Grand Prix, Matt Mitrione returns to action on February 15 against a true veteran in Sergei Kharitonov. The former Purdue football defensive lineman splits his training between Indianapolis and Combat Club in South Florida, and is in the best shape of his fighting career. Onlangs, Mitrione has defeatedRoy Nelson enFedor Emelianenko, adding to an already-impressive list of career victories.The man dubbed “The Paratrooper,” Kharitonov is the owner of an equally notable MMA resume, with the 38-year-old scoring wins against some of the sport’s most marquee names, including an incredible performance against Roy Nelson, as well as Fabricio Werdum, Andrei Arlovski, Pedro Rizzo, Murilo “Ninja” Rua and Alistair Overeem.

One of the most unorthodox strikers to ever compete for Bellator, "MVP" heeft zich gestaag opgewerkt in de weltergewichtrangen sinds hij zich bij de organisatie heeft aangemeld 2013. Known for his antics both inside the cage and out, elk Michael Page-gevecht is entertainment dat je gezien moet hebben. Met een ongeslagen record van 13-0, en 11 van die overwinningen die door onderbreking komen, the 31-year-old out of London Shootfighters finally meets up with fellow Brit and longtime rival, Paul Daley. A veteran of Strikeforce, UFC and BAMMA, Nottingham’s Daley has competed professionally since 2003. Throughout his career, "Semtex" was de helft van enkele van de meest memorabele periodes in de geschiedenis van MMA, waaronder eenknock-out van het jaar over Brennan Ward in 2017.

A rematch ofBellator 115, Cheick Kongo will look for redemption against Bellator’s longest reigning heavyweight champion, when Vitaly Minakov returns for his first fight with the promotion since 2014. A winner of seven straight, including two consecutive first-round knockouts overTimothy JohnsonenJavy Ayala, Kongo has earned the opportunity to compete in a No. 1 contender’s bout. Undefeated as a professional, Minakov earned a victory against Alexander Volkov, as well as a previous win against Kongo, in his previous Bellator stint, and later continued his winning ways in Russia against “Bigfoot” Silva and Tony Johnson. The two now meet to determine who will go on to face the winner of Fedor Emelianenko andRyan Bader.

WILLIE MONROE JR. TRAINING CAMP QUOTES
Middleweight Contender Willie Monroe Jr. Talks Upcoming Showdown Against Jermall Charlo Saturday, December 22 in Premier Boxing
Champions on FOX & FOX Deportes Action from Barclays Center in
Brooklyn I’m in my stable now and I’m ready to come flying out of the
gate on December 22,” – Monroe

ROCHESTER,NY. (December 4, 2018) – Middleweight contender and former title challenger Willie Monroe Jr. discussed his upcoming contest against WBC Interim Middleweight Champion Jermall Charlo as he prepares to enter the ring in Premier Boxing Champions action Saturday, December 22 live on FOX and FOX Deportes from Barclays Center, het huis van BROOKLYN BOKSEN ™.

With fight night approaching, Monroe is hard at work in his hometown of Rochester,New York. Along with his coach Timothy Nolan, Monroe believes he is on track to deliver a great performance against an unbeaten opponent.

Everything in camp right now is on point and moving forward,” said Monroe.We’re getting the work we need each day. We know how to run a camp smoothly. If I can’t tell anything is wrong, then it’s going great.

A veteran of two middleweight world title contests against Gennady Golovkin and Billy Joe Saunders, Monroe has had his eye on a Charlo matchup to once again prove himself against an elite middleweight.

I’ve always watched Jermall’s fights because I have an eye on anyone around my weight class,” zei Monroe. “Over the last year or so I’ve started to think I’m really going to get this fight and I’m excited about it coming to fruition on December 22.

He’s considered one of the top middleweights and it makes this a great match. This time I’m going to have a full training camp like I didn’t get to have for Golovkin and Saunders and it’s going to help me.

While he doesn’t possess the prodigious knockout power of his opponent, Monroe is more than confident that his other ring attributes will make up for that difference.

We’re both at the top of the division and you don’t get this far without having a lot of physical ability,” zei Monroe. “This fight isn’t about who’s the fastest and strongest though, it’s about how we’re going to execute. I’m not focused on who hits harder but who hits smarter. That’s always going to determine who wins a boxing match.

Boxing is about intelligence first and everything follows after that. Will I be able to execute and make Jermall uncomfortable? We’ll see what happens on fight night. I’m going to be ready though. I’m in my stable now and I’m ready to come flying out of the gate on December 22.

Charlo was serving as color commentator for Monroe’s August fight on FS1 and since then the two have gone face-to-face at two separate press events leading up to fight night. With fight week looming, Monroe believes the frequent face time will make an even more exciting fight.

I’m definitely more eager to fight from seeing Jermall over and over again,” zei Monroe. “The little things that you pick up in person tend to make you want to fight even more. You see the opponent and you build it up more in your head and use it for motivation. I think it’s going to make it even more entertaining when we finally get in there.

Tickets for the show, which is being promoted by Lions Only Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with DiBella Entertainment, begin at $50 and are on sale now. Tickets kunnen worden gekocht bijticketmaster.combarclayscenter.com, of door te bellen naar 800-745-3000. Tickets can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Groep kortingen zijn verkrijgbaar door te bellen naar 844-BKLYN-GP.

Televised coverage begins at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT and features Jermell Charlo defending his WBC super welterweight world title against Tony Harrison, in addition to the Charlo vs. Monroe showdown. Televised action also features a heavyweight showdown between Dominic Breazeale and Carlos Negron.

ICB SIGNS VANES MARTIROSYAN; CONTENDER TO MAKE CAGE BOXING DEBUT IN 2019



SUPER WELTERWEIGHT FIRST OF SEVERAL
BOKSEN, MMA STANDOUTS
TO JOIN NEW COMBAT SPORT,
SAYS PROMOTER FULTON


Former super welterweight world contender Vanes Martirosyan of Glendale, Calif., is the first standout to join International Championship Boxing, promoter of the revolutionary and exciting new combat sport that features boxing in a cage.


Vanes is not just the first to sign a multi-bout, multi-year agreement with ICB, but he’s also the first of several,” says Jack Fulton, founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Virginia-based ICB.


We are in discussions with many boxers, mixed martial artists and kickboxers, and some of the names definitely would surprise,” says Fulton. “It’s more than interest, it’s enthusiasm to box in ‘The Fight Zone.We’ve struck a chord with boxers and MMA fighters, and it’s resonating.


The 32-year-old Martirosyan, originally from Armenia, heeft een record van 36-4-1 met 21 knock-outs.


Martirosyan’s most recent bout was against Gennady Golovkin on May 5 voor “GGG’sWorld Boxing Association and the World Boxing Council middleweight championships, a fight he took on three-week notice.


Martirosyan had two previous title bouts, one for the WBA super welterweight crown and another for the World Boxing Organization super welterweight championship.


Martirosyan’s first bout in the ICB cage will be during the first quarter of 2019.
I was surprised when I heard about boxing in a cage, but at the same time I was real happy,” says Martirosyan. “The idea is just amazing. Fans are going to love it.


I’m going to be a nightmare in the cage,” says Martirosyan. “It’s easier to cut off the cage in a dog fight, and I’m an action fighter; I do bring the action.


I challenge all fighters in the world, boxing or MMA, to come into the cage with me, and I’ll show them what real fighting is all about,” says Martirosyan.


Vanes and his team are excited to be part of this new and unique concept for boxing,” says his manager, Vince Carthron.


It’s a format just made for Vanes, and we are delighted to be there at the beginning and helping to build it,” says Carthron. “It’s good for boxing fans, and it’s good for Vanes.


It took Fulton almost two years to get the cage designed, built, patented and approved by boxing and athletic commissions within the United States, including the state of Nevada.


An 18 year veteran promoter of the sport, through the years Fulton began to realize the sport needed something new, something fresh. And in 2016 he did something about it.


The sport of boxing needed something revolutionary, en dit is het,” says Fulton.


The ICB cage better assures toe-to-toe, non-stop action, something that’s appealing to both boxing and mixed martial arts fans, and to the new hybrid athlete that’s proficient in more than one combat sport


We have no doubt ICB boxing in the cage will engage all ring sports fans,” says Fulton. “‘This is boxing for a new generation, a generation that has grown up watching combat sport in a cage. And that’s the main reason we conceived, created and now launched the ICB. It will re-energize boxing fans and bring MMA fans who prefer stand-up striking.


Vanes gets it; he sees the future and the opportunity,” says Fulton. “The ICB cage doesn’t force a boxer or an MMA fighter to make a choice; it offers them flexibility.

Confident Abreu Looks To Shine In Lomachenko-Pedraza Card

Dominican Juan Carlos “Merengue” Abreu (24-4-1, 19 KO) aims to beat in high fashion the current IBF USBA welterweight champion Alexander Besputin (11-0, 9 KO) van Rusland, in a duel that will be broadcast by the ESPN+ app this Saturday,December 8th bij 6:00 pm ET.

The fight will be part of the world championship unification bout between José Pedraza and Vasyl Lomachenko at the Madison Square Garden Theater.

I feel very well prepared for this fight. Focused and motivated for victory. It would be very important because it is at a huge event, and many people all over the world will see it. I’m just waiting to have that title, God willing”, said Abreu, who is trained by Chiro Perez in Florida, and managed by Spartan Boxing Club.

“Besputin is strong, and he is protected by Top Rank. I know I have to do extra work than I normally do for the win, and I have the experience to beat him or any other boxer. I am ready to win, and I hope the judges are fair to my performance”, he added.

In his last appearance, Abreu lost by unanimous decision in close fight against Egidijus Kavaliauskas of Lithuania.

I know what it feels like to face the promoter’s fighter and lose unfairly. I’min the same situation this Saturday, but that doesn’t take away my dream of being great in this sport. Laten we dit doen,” said Abreu.

“Ik voel me vereerd,” Shields sprak over het feit dat ingewijd in de Verenigde Staten Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame,” ik ben alleen 23 jaar oud en te worden ingewijd in de Verenigde Staten Boxing Hall of Fame is een grote eer, maar ook een schok voor mij. Ik geloof dat ik ben het waard van elke eer, maar ik weet dat dingen kosten tijd, en ik heb altijd gedacht dat ik zou in de Hall of Fame te zetten op de leeftijd 40 of 50. Dit is een groot probleem voor mij en ik voel me zo vereerd. Gewoon om hebben mijn naam genoemd naast namen van grootheden als Andre Ward en Roy Jones gewoon echt motiveert me.

Shields is een van de drijvende krachten in het vrouwen boksen vandaag, het dragen van de fakkel overhandigd door de Amerikaanse vrouwelijke boksen pioniers zoals Christy Martin, Laila Ali en een paar anderen.

 

 

 

“Er is een grote verandering gaande is op dit moment — mij, Mikaela Mayer, Franchon Crews, Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano en een paar andere vrouwen dragen de fakkel voor vrouwen boksen op dit moment,” Shields uitgelegd. “Vooruitgang is snel geweest, elk netwerk heeft de strijd van een vrouw op de televisie dit jaar achter de rug, vooral Showtime, op die ik heb het main event vier keer boxed. Vrouwen boksen kan ver gaan. Ik geloof dat de dag zal komen dat we kan worden betaald miljoenen net als mannen.”

 

 

 

Door het openen van deuren en het afbreken van obstakels, Claressa is overal een ware rolmodel voor jongeren, in en uit het boksen.

 

 

 

“Het voelt goed om een ​​rolmodel voor hen (vrouwtjes), en ook voor zo veel mannelijke boksers,” Shields opgemerkt. “Boksen is in een ander tijdperk en ik wil alleen maar om het gemakkelijker te maken voor meisjes komen, dus als ze weer pro, boksen zal dichter bij gelijkheid.”

 

 

 

“Claressa heeft één van de grootste verhalen in de geschiedenis van amateur-boksen,” zei Chris Tofflemire, USA Boxing Alumni Association uitvoerend directeur. “haar rijden, inzet, talent, en het karakter maakte haar een USA Boxing en Olympisch kampioen, nalaten van een erfenis die zal duren voor een zeer lange tijd.

Om lid te worden van de Alumnivereniging, kunt u zich registreren op alumni@usaboxing.org voor een $40.00 per jaar contributie. Nieuwe leden krijgen een T-shirt te ontvangen, sleutelhanger en e-wallet.

 

 

 

 

Ondanks alle onderscheidingen en lofbetuigingen, ze heeft zo rijkelijk ontvangen, Shields is niet vergeten waar het allemaal begon, en ze is nog steeds actief betrokken bij USA Boxing.

 

 

 

“Ik blijf in contact met een groot deel van de vrouwelijke atleten en geven hen advies als ze me vragen,” Claressa toegevoegd. “Ik ging ook naar Colorado voor vijf dagen om een ​​motivator en keynote speaker voor de komende Olympische hoopvol te zijn. Na mijn carrière voorbij in ongeveer 15 jaar, Ik wil een boks trainer zijn en leiden het damesteam om meer Olympische gouden medailles, als de kans krijgen. Ik wil ook een leraar en een vertrouwenspersoon voor de jeugd zijn.”

 

 

 

Shields, jammer genoeg, is niet in staat om deze vrijdagavond's Hall bij te wonen of Fame receptie omdat ze in een diepe training voor haar titels verdedigen deze zaterdagavond op HBO, live vanuit de StubHub Center in Carson, Californië, tegen Fenmke Hermans (9-1).

 

 

 

“Droevig,” Shields gesloten, “Ik kan er niet zijn, maar, als ik daar was, ik zou zeggen: Dank je wel naar de VS Boksen voor het geloven in mij op de leeftijd van 16. Het was een eer om Amerika te vertegenwoordigen, niet slechts een keer, maar twee keer in de Olympische Spelen! Ik dank Coach Billy (Walsh) voor het maken van me diep graven, door dat te maken met zijn Ierse wegen en grappen, ook voor het veranderen van de cultuur van de Verenigde Staten Boxing. Een speciale dank aan coach Kay, ook, Ik kan niet rekenen op mijn handen hoeveel dagen we getraind op 1 een M., hoe vaak ik klopte op zijn kamer deur en rende, hoe vaak hij moest mijn telefoon te nemen van mij, want ik huilde of het hebben van een gezin probleem. Hij is de coach ik kon alles vertellen, en hij zegende me ook met zijn boksen kennis en maakte me altijd veilig in mezelf voelen wanneer hij in de hoek was. USA Boxing is niet alleen het personeel – USA Boxing is familie! Hoewel ik een paar woorden met hebt gehad Matthew Johnson en ander personeel, Ik dank hen voor het zijn hard op mij en ervoor te zorgen dat ik mijn verantwoordelijkheden behandeld. Liefde aan alle USA Boxing personeel, Ik ben echt dankbaar.”

 

 

 

Claressa Shields is veel meer dan de wereld en Olympisch kampioen, ze is een klasse act ook, precies wat er zo hard nodig vandaag.
