Tickets nu te koop!

LAS VEGAS (Oktober 13, 2021) – WBA Welterweight Champion Jamal “Shango” James will defend his title against unbeaten contender Radzhab Butaev in a 12-round duel that headlines a night of action live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Oktober 30 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

Het SHOWTIME KAMPIOENSCHAP BOKSEN® uitzending begint om 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and features rising welterweight star Jaron "Boots" Ennis in a 10-round showdown against veteran contender Thomas Dulorme in de co-main event. Kicking off the telecast, exciting unbeaten lightweight contender Michel Rivera faces Argentina’s Matías Romero in een 10-round aantrekking.

Tickets voor de live-evenement, die wordt bevorderd door TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com. Ennis tegen. Dulorme is promoted in association with D&D Boksen. Rivera vs. Romero is promoted in association with Sampson Boxing.

“A stacked lineup of top contenders and up-and-coming future champions will be on full display October 30 on SHOWTIME in Las Vegas,”Zei Tom Brown, President van TGB Promotions. “Jamal James has battled his way to the highest levels of the welterweight division and will get one step closer to gathering elite status if he can overcome the unbeaten Radzhab Butaev. The undercard bouts will also feature two rising stars, as Jaron Ennis and Michel Rivera look to impress in tough matchups on a big stage.”

Minneapolis’ James (27-1, 12 KO) returns to action after his previous outing saw him earn an interim title by defeating Thomas Dulorme in August 2020, before later being upgraded to the “regular” championship. The 33-year-old is riding a seven-bout winning streak that includes triumphs over Abel Ramos, Diego Gabriel Chaves and Antonio DeMarco, with four of those matchups coming in his hometown, where he has grown a rabid fan base. With a win on October 30, James moves nearer to a potential rematch of his first and only defeat against WBA Welterweight World Champion Yordenis Ugas.

“Training is and has been at 100%,” said James. “I’m excited to finally get back in the ring and defend my title. This will be the fight where I show everyone why I’m elite in this profession and should be recognized as one of the best.”

The 27-year-old Butaev (13-0, 10 KO) will finally square off against James in a long-awaited matchup ordered by the WBA. Butaev turned pro after approximately 400 amateur bouts in 2016 and reeled-off KOs in six of his first seven outings. Originally from Russia and now fighting out of Brooklyn, N.Y., Butaev returned to the ring in December 2020, stopping previously unbeaten Terry Chatwood in the third round.

“We’ve been working hard for a year leading up to this fight,” said Butaev. “Everything is going really well in camp and we’re excited to finally get in the ring against James. I’ve seen how James fights and it’s definitely going to be a clash of styles. I can just promise that I’m going to bring the war and make this an exciting fight. I’m going to start writing my history on October 30.”

Ennis (27-0, 25 KO) is de nieuwste in het pantheon van uitstekende Philadelphia-strijders, sublieme boksvaardigheden combineren met natuurlijke kracht in beide handen. Na talloze optredens op ShoBox: The New Generation, the 24-year-old Ennis graduated to headlining his first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast in his last outing in April, as he became the first fighter to stop former world champion Sergey Lipinets. The knockout victory gave Ennis 17 KOs in his last 18 gevechten, with the only blemish being a no-decision in the first round against Chris van Heerden in December 2020.

“I’m glad to be back in the ring October 30 on SHOWTIME in Las Vegas,”Zei Ennis. “This is another step towards becoming world champion! They haven’t seen nothing yet. It’s time for me to continue to shine and be great. I can’t wait to show out and have some fun.”

De 31-jarige Dulorme (25-5-1, 16 KO) heeft een solide cv verzameld op 140 en 147 pond tijdens zijn carrière, klimmen in de ring met wereldkampioen Yordenis Ugas, Jessie Vargas en Terence Crawford. Geboren in Marigot, Guadeloupe but representing Carolina, Puerto Rico, Dulorme herstelde zich van een verlies tegen Crawford voor een titel van 140 pond door back-to-back knock-outs te scoren, followed by a narrow decision loss to Ugas. The world title challenger is coming off solid efforts in back-to-back decision losses against Jamal James and Eimantas Stanionis.

“I think in the Stanionis fight I demonstrated that I am still at the top level,” said Dulorme. “A lot of people told me I won that fight and I thought I did too. I’m excited to face Ennis because he’s a good fighter, but he hasn’t fought anyone like me. The fans can expect another great performance from me on SHOWTIME.”

Geboren in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and now fighting out of Miami, Fla. Rivera (21-0, 14 KO) burst onto the scene in 2019, making his U.S. debut with a victory over Juan Rene Tellez. The 23-year-old continued his ascent in 2020, adding a stoppage win against Fidel Maldonado Jr. and a unanimous decision triumph against lightweight contender LaDarius Miller. Rivera has continued his dominance with a pair of knockout victories in 2021, stopping Anthony Mercado in February before most recently delivering a highlight-reel knockout of Jon Fernandez in July on SHOWTIME.

“Romero made a big mistake taking this fight,"Zei Rivera. “What he’s seen from me in the gym, is not the same thing that he’s going to see on fight night. He is far from a fight night fighter. He folds under pressure or runs. Hij is een goede vechter, but he’s not at my level. I won’t let him go the distance like Isaac Cruz did. Op oktober 30, I’m going to give him the beating of his lifetime.”

Romero (24-1, 8 KO) made his stateside debut in March, dropping a competitive decision to top lightweight contender Isaac Cruz on SHOWTIME. Eerder, the Cordoba, Argentina native picked up a pair of victories in 2020, winning a 12-round decision over Javier Jose Clavero in November, while stopping Gabriel Gustavo Ovejero in March. Een pro sinds 2015, the 25-year-old will look to bounce back from his first defeat and move into title contention against another elite 135-pound opponent.

“Rivera and I have the same promoter and I personally requested for Sampson Lewkowicz to let me fight him when I saw he had no opponent,”Zei Romero. “I am willing to step in because I know I can beat him. We have trained at the same gym, but never sparred. His style is perfect for my style. This is going to be another victory for me to add to my collection.”

St. Petersburg, FL (Oktober 14, 2021) – To say that St. Petersburg junior welterweight Joseph Fernandez has a good work ethic would be an understatement.


Each weekday, Fernandez’ morning begins at 4:15 AM when he wakes up to get ready for strength and conditioning training at 5. Following the class, Fernandez grabs something to eat, cleans up and heads to his fulltime job installing hurricane windows and doors. The labor-intensive position has him working 8 naar 10 hours per day. After work, Fernandez has a short time to relax and recharge before a 2-3 hour workout at Fight Fitness Center in Pinellas Park, FL.


Onnodig te zeggen, it’s a challenge for the St. Petersburg native.


“It requires a lot of hard work and dedication,” said Fernandez, die heeft een uitstekende 13-3-3 professionele grootboek met 4 wins by KO. I have to remain focused on what I’m doing at that moment and not think about what else I’ve got going on during the day.”


Op Zaterdag, Oktober 16, Fernandez headlines for the first time when he meets tough Panamanian Jose Forero in a ten round contest for the ABF Atlantic 140 pound championship.


Een veteraan van 22 gevechten, Forero’s shared the squared circle with champions and contenders including George Kambosos, Jezreel Corrales, Jaime Arboleda and Willian Silva.


“He’s a durable fighter who likes to come forward and he won’t go down easily,” Fernandez said of Forero. “I’ve watched him a few times and he’s been in there with some really good fighters but we’re prepared for everything he has to offer. I’m excited to be headlining a card for the first time and worked incredibly hard to get here. The plan is to put on a great show and emerge victorious!"


The card is promoted by Fire Fist Boxing Promotions in association with Pahlavan Promotions and takes places at Banquet Masters in Clearwater, FL.


13-0 lightweight Iron Alvarez of Tampa, FL will swap leather with Jonatan “El Guapo” Godoy of Argentina over six rounds in the lightweight division. Alvarez, heeft 10 wins by knockout and scored a 2nd round stoppage of Pablo Cupul last month.


Lightweight Daniel Bailey of Tampa puts his 7-0 record on the line against upset-minded Puerto Rico’s Pedro Hernandez in a six rounder. In zijn laatste gevecht, Hernandez beat 5-0 Daniel Perez and Bailey will be Hernandez’ sixth straight unbeaten foe.


In separate for round contests, light heavyweight Imran Haddabah of St. Petersburg meets Victor Rivera of Los Angeles, ZOALS, flyweight Simona Sarpa of Tampa by way of Italy squares off against Park City, UT’s Maryguenn Vellinga Hinz, cruiserweight Adrian Pinheiro of Orlando, FL faces Wilson, NC’s Dequanti Johnson and Tampa middleweight Christopher Rodriguez challenges Milwaukee, WI native Jay Ellis.

World-Rated Russian Light Heavyweight Ali Izmailov Returns Saturday for Showdown Against Detroit’s James Ballard in Dearborn, MIJN

Laat een reactie achter
Deze zaterdag, Oktober 16, IBF #11, WBC #14 and WBO #15 light heavyweight Ali Izmailov (5-0, 3 KO) returns to action against capable hometown veteran James Ballard (10-3, 3 KO) in the eight-round main event of promoters Kenny D Moore and Vi Tran’s of Second 2 None Promotions’ “Best of Tomorrow 12” event at the Performance Arts Center in Dearborn, Michigan.


The 28-year-old Izmailov, from Malgobek, Rusland, is a former amateur standout who won multiple elite international tournaments. Already world-rated as a professional at just 5-0, 3 KO, Izmailov recently started working with world-famous Florida-based trainer John David Jackson at his Action Jackson Boxing Academy in Fort Lauderdale.


Jackson, who has spent the last three weeks sizing up his new protegee, says Izmailov is a diamond in the rough waiting for polish.


“The sky is the limit for him with his punching power,” said Jackson of Izmailov. “He’s a tremendous puncher, but he’s also got natural boxing skills. Als een vechter, I don’t think he realizes his potential. I’m getting him to move his head more and throw more combinations, instead of one power punch at a time. Nothing against his old trainers, but once he learns to throw three or four shots to set them up and camouflage the hard ones, he will be unstoppable.”


Jackson says the 32-year-old Ballard will be a good test for Izmailov and his newfound skills, but shouldn’t be able to derail any of their plans.


“Ballard is good, but Ali just has to pressure him and go to the body to break him down. Once his opponents feel his power, they all have a change of heart. Once Ali hits him with some good shots, it’ll be a matter of time.”


“Ali has amazing potential to be a star and John David is the perfect trainer to bring that out of him,” said Izmailov’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita. “I think you’ll see the improvements immediately under his expert tutelage. Ali was already the best prospect in the light heavyweight division.”


Tickets for “Best of Tomorrow 12” are priced at $25 - $1,000 and can be purchased online through Eventbrite.com. Op Fight Night, the action starts at 7:00 pm. The Ford Community & Performing Arts Center is located at 15801 Michigan Avenue in Dearborn, MIJN. The event is sponsored by One Punch Knockout Gym, Topbreed Management, Pharaoh Website Hosting & Restaurant Online Ordering Service, MJ Diamonds, Family Tied Entertainment.

19-Year-Old Phenom Gabriela Fundora Returns October 23 in Mexico Against Alejandra Soto

Laat een reactie achter
Op Zaterdag, Oktober 23, 19-year-old flyweight prospect Gabriela “Sweet Poison” Fundora (4-0, 2 KO) will return for a six-round flyweight battle on LC Promotions’ “Round x Round” event at the Salón de Usos Múltiples 3 Coronas in Los Reyes, Estado de México, against tough veteran Alejandra “Tintanita” Soto (7-6-1, 3 KO).

The event will be streamed live on Facebook.

Fighting for the fifth fight already this year, the skillful 5′ 9″ southpaw from Coachella, Californië, says winning her last two by KO was not a coincidence.

“I’ve turned my power up a notch,” admits Fundora during a break in training. “It happened so naturally. My first two pro fights, it was like dipping my toe in the shallow end. As soon as I had my third fight, I got used to the rhythm and since then it’s been time to sit down on my punches and show them what we’ve really got.”

While Fundora says she doesn’t often study specific opponents, she’s looking forward to getting back in the ring against Soto.

“I don’t know much about her, but we train hard to prepare for any style. We you know what you bring to the ring, you don’t worry about who you’re facing. The more I fight, the more chances I get to go over what I’m doing wrong during fights and fix it for the next one. I’m improving very quickly fighting every month and I’m in top shape.”

From a fighting family that also includes top super welterweight contender Sebastian “Towering Inferno” Fundora, the former amateur standout Gabriela says she’s seeing big improvements working, as she always has, with her father/trainer, Freddy, at his growing gym in Coachella.

“We’ve been training like this since I was small. It’s nothing new. We wake up at 6 am and run about six miles. Vervolgens, in de omgeving van 5 pm, we do strength and conditioning and then we get into the boxing. My speed and power are improving,” she said happily. “I recorded myself doing mitt work I didn’t realize how fast and hard I was punching until I watched the video.”

Set to have her third consecutive fight in Mexico, Fundora says she’s been very happy with the reception from Mexican fans.

“The fans in Mexico have all been very kind,'Zei Fundora. “They treat me like one of their own. We decided to take some fights in Mexico so I would have the experience of going outside my comfort zone to fight and the people here are amazing. It’s been an amazing experience.”

Surprisingly Fundora says the plan is to fight up to two more times this year.

“We fight every month, so by the end of the year I hope to have six fights,” Fundora asserted. “I hope to be fighting for a regional belt by next year. It’s all going to be happening soon.”

“Gabriela Fundora, the Sweet Poison, will be a world champion very soon,”Zei haar promotor, Sampson Lewkowicz. “She has settled into the professional style and now she is knocking everyone out. I’m looking forward to a very exciting year next year for Gabriela.”

St. Petersburg, FL (Oktober 7, 2021) –Willian “Baby Face” Silva will battle Cletus “Hebrew Hammer” Seldin for the NABA Super Lightweight title Saturday, Oktober 16 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.

One of New York’s most popular fighters, Seldin will be fighting for the 22nd time in the Empire State. The Long Island native enters the ring with an excellent 25-1 opnemen en 21 wins by stoppage. Notable fighters he’s defeated include Zab Judah and Roberto Ortiz.

A win by Seldin brings him closer to a world title shot but Silva has other plans.

“This is a great opportunity and I’m going to make the most of,” Silva said from his training camp in St. Petersburg, FL. “Seldin is a good opponent but I have the necessary skills to have my hands raised on October 16. I also know a win in this fight would prove that I am among the best fighters in my division and move me closer to my goal of winning a world title.”

Silva’s manager, Jody Caliguire of Fire Fist Management, is excited and believes his fighter will emerge victorious.

“Willian was actually scheduled to fight in October 16 in Florida before this fight came together. It’s almost as if this was meant to happen and I know Silva has what it takes to pull this out. He’s training with Hall of Fame coach Jim McLaughlin, who’s brought out the best in him. Seldin is in for a big surprise!"

The bout airs live on Triller and precedes the Verzuz battle between hip hop legends Big Daddy Kane and KRS-One. Both fighters are promoted by Star Boxing.

BJ GACEAU KOMT TERUG NAAR DE KOOI IN NEF 45 TEGEN HAYLEY MARTIN

Laat een reactie achter

Voor onmiddellijke publicatie: Portland, Maine (Oktober 7, 2021) - New England Fights (NEF) keert terug met zijn volgende mixed-martial-arts (MMA) evenement, "NEF 45: Uprising," op vrijdag, November 5, 2021, bij Aura in Portland, Maine. Eerder vandaag, NEF kondigde de toevoeging aan van een strogewichtgevecht voor amateurvrouwen aan de strijdkaart.BJ Garceau ontmoetHayley Martin bij een gevecht gewicht van 115 pond.

Het gevecht zal Garceau . zien (1-1) terugkeren naar de NEF-kooi na een afwezigheid van drie jaar. Ze maakte haar debuut op "NEF 32" in februari 2018 met een split decision overwinning op Sarah Ziehm (1-2).  Garceau verloor vervolgens via technische knock-out van Chelsea Tucker (3-3) in de derde ronde van hun gevecht bij "NEF 36" in de herfst van dat jaar. Ze was gepland om terug te keren naar actie op "NEF 43" in 2020 totdat de COVID-19-pandemie het evenement uitstelde. Garceau vertegenwoordigt Young's MMA van Bangor, Maine.

“Ik kan niet geloven dat ik in november weer in de kooi stap,riep Garceau uit. “Toen we vorig jaar moesten stoppen met trainen, Ik voelde me alsof ik mijn familie verloor, mijn gezondheid, en dat heeft me mentaal en fysiek hard geraakt. ik was een puinhoop. Dus een keer (Young's MMA-hoofdcoach) Chris Young en zoveel andere geweldige coaches van andere sportscholen zeiden 'kom naar huis' a/k/a 'ga terug naar de sportschool',’ Ik voelde me eindelijk weer heel toen we op de matten stonden. Ik had niet gedacht dat het nog een keer zou gebeuren, maar eerlijk gezegd na alles wat er de afgelopen 18 maanden in de wereld en persoonlijk is gebeurd, Ik heb nog nooit zo graag willen vechten. Ik ben dankbaar voor de kans en eerlijk gezegd had het op dit moment iemand kunnen zijn die tegenover me stond. Ik ben blij om met Hayley naar beneden te gooien, en beloof dat ik niemand in die kooi zal teleurstellen!  Ik zou meer zeggen, maar ik moet gaan trainen. Laten we dit doen!"

Hayley Martin maakt haar debuut in de kooi in het gevecht met Garceau op "NEF 45" – slechts een paar weken nadat we haar hebben gevierd 50th verjaardag. Martin is een onafhankelijke vechter wiens droom het was om actief deel te nemen aan MMA.

“Ik ben meer dan opgewonden om in de kooi te stappen, test mijn vaardigheden en laat zien hoe hard werken en toewijding eruit zien," zei Martin.  "Ik ben op deze reis omdat ik nog nooit iets heb gevoeld waardoor ik me levendiger voel, sterk en zelfverzekerd. En wanneer dat moment gebeurt op 5 november, Ik zal het allemaal in de kooi laten en keihard vechten voor elke vrouw die dacht dat dromen niet kunnen uitkomen."

"NEF 45: Opstand” vindt plaats op vrijdag, November 5, 2021, bij Aura in Portland, Maine. Deuren open om 6 pm met eerste gevecht om 7 p.m. Tickets zijn nu te koop bijwww.Ticketmaster.com.

Alleen de tweede BELLATOR-kampioen vedergewicht voor dames in de geschiedenis van het bedrijf, “Cyborg” (24-2, 1 NC) wil haar nalatenschap als de grootste mixed martial artist voor vrouwen aller tijden voortzetten wanneer ze minder dan twee weken voor Thanksgiving strijdt tegen de trots van Dublin.

Momenteel vechtend uit Las Vegas, Nev., "Cyborg" komt uit de tweede verdediging van haar BELLATOR-kroon toen ze een gemene TKO scoorde op Leslie Smith op 4:51 van de vijfde ronde in mei 2021. Na eerder goud te hebben aangehouden in STRIKEFORCE, UFC en Invicta, de Braziliaan schreef geschiedenis door de BELLATOR-titel te veroveren en een "Grand Slam Champion" te worden met riemen in vier verschillende organisaties. De keiharde, 36-jarige sport 20 wint door te eindigen met overwinningen op straffende concurrentie, waaronder Julia Budd, Holly Holm, Smid (tweemaal), Marloes Coenen, en Gina Carano.

Kavanagh (7-4), een winnaar van haar laatste twee BELLATOR-uitjes, streeft ernaar haar "KO" -naam waar te maken wanneer ze probeert de meest dominante vrouwelijke atleet van de sport te stoppen. De voormalige amateur-bokskampioen is klaar voor het doorbraakmoment van haar carrière bij BELLATOR MMA 271 wanneer het SBG Ireland-product probeert te doen wat slechts twee andere vrouwelijke vechters eerder hebben bereikt; versla "Cyborg."
