PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Milford, New Hampshire (Junho 7, 2021) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) announced today that the fight promotion will return with its next event, "NEF 44: De volta em preto," em agosto 21, 2021. The show will originate from the Hampshire Dome in Milford, New Hampshire and will feature a mix of both mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and kickboxing fights. It will be NEF’s long-awaited debut in the Granite State, and it will also be the promotion’s first event since the COVID-19 pandemic hit in the spring of 2020.
NEF’s previously-scheduled event, “NEF 43: Alvoroço,” which was postponed indefinitely due to the pandemic, is still awaiting a rescheduled date at the Collins Center for the Arts at UMaine Orono. NEF executives hope that date will be sometime later in the fall, but at press time they were still waiting on a decision from the Combat Sports Authority of Maine on re-opening the regulation of MMA and boxing events in the state without restrictions.
“Fighters and fans have waited long enough,” declared NEF promoter and co-owner Nick DiSalvo. “With Maine not fully open for combat sports events yet, the Hampshire Dome and the New Hampshire Boxing Commission presented the perfect opportunity to get fighters back in the cage and active again before summer was over.”
NEF further announced today the first fight confirmed for the “NEF 44” card in Milford would be an amateur welterweight title contest. Duncan “The Highlander” Smith (5-3), who has held the promotion’s 170-pound championship since June 2018, is scheduled to defend against number-one-contender Mike “All Class” Bezanson (5-0).
“Coming out of COVID we’re going to find out who really wants it and is serious about accelerating in the sport,"Disse o co-proprietário NEF e matchmaker Matt Peterson. “Who was working during quarantine, grinding away in their basements and garages and backyards and getting better while the world was shut down? Duncan and Bezanson both believe they are those guys and we’re going to find out on August 21st. These are two of the best in the Northeast welterweight division and I can’t wait to see which one proves that they are ready to punch through into the professional division before the end of 2021.”
Reigning champion Duncan Smith is a perfect 3-0 in the NEF cage. His last defense of the title was at “NEF 38” in April 2019 when he defeated John Tefft (2-1) via unanimous decision. Smith represents Evolution Athletix based in Saco, Maine.
“I’ve never felt more complete and confident in all aspects of living,"Disse Smith. “I am extremely excited to showcase my skills against a game opponent before I enter the pro ranks. A lot can change in two years.”
Undefeated Mike Bezanson is regarded by many as one of the most exciting competitors on the entire New England scene. He is known for his flashy striking style and explosive finishes. Bezanson represents Team Kaze of Lancaster, New Hampshire.
“I’ve been sitting like a caged lion this last year because of COVID,” stated Bezanson when reached for comment. “Waiting eagerly for everything to open up just like everyone else. I’m very excited to be able to get back in there to perform for everyone! I can assure you this will be the same game plan as all my previous fights. I’m going in there for two reasons, to knock out whoever is in front of me and walk out with a belt over my shoulder.”
“With everything opening up and restrictions being lifted, there is a lot to get excited about,” said Bezanson’s coach and Kaze Dojo owner Greg Williams. “That being said, nothing excites me more than seeing Mike Bezanson bringing his unique brand of violence back to the NEF cage! He is a rare talent and I believe he will eventually realize himself on the highest level. Another amateur belt is just icing on the cake. We all look forward to seeing New England’s best amateur 170 prospect and how he has evolved in the past year!"
Ingressos para “NEF 44: Back in Black ”já estão à venda emwww.NewEnglandFights.com/Tickets/. The hybrid MMA and kickboxing event will take place at the Hampshire Dome in Milford, New Hampshire no sábado, Agosto 21, 2021, com uma campainha de 7 PM.

Junho 4, 2021, Fort Smith, Arkansas—In a year of surprising boxing returns, nothing is more surprising than the return of retired heavyweight contender JD “The Natural” Chapman (29-0).
Born John David Chapman in March of 1983, Chapman did not fight as an amateur. Em vez, he started fighting in Toughman Contest competitions before he turned pro in 2002. He chose the name “O natural” as Chapman hails from Arkansas, “O Estado Natural”.
JD did many of his early professional fights close to home, namely as part of the Slugout Series promoted by Stacy “Goodnight” Goodson. Goodson and Scott Hirsch, who were managing Chapman, built Chapman into a heavyweight contender.
In the process, Chapaman accumulated 29 vitórias e 26 nocautes. He beat several notable contenders and gatekeepers. His most notable opponents were Chicago-based Edward Gutierrez who was 15-0-1 coming into the bout, New York veteran John Carlo who possessed a 14-1 registro, and fellow undefeated Mid-West prospect Matt Hicks 7-0.
Chapman also captured several regional heavyweight titles including the IBF Southern Regional title, the North American Boxing Council title, the WBC Latino title and the Arkansas State title. Just when it seemed that Chapman was at the cusp of stardom, he hung it all up and rode into the sunset.
At the time of his retirement Chapman was an up and coming contender, and a darling of the boxing press. He received tremendous coverage and exposure in the boxing press as a heavyweight prospect, and was featured on national television. Mais, Chapman was rated by just about every major sanctioning body including the lineal sanction body, the WBC, which gave him a World Rating of 14.
Chapman will return on an untelevised club show this Saturday, Junho 5, 2021, and in a fight close to where it all begun in his home state of Arkansas. Chapman was called in as a last minute replacement opponent to fight Tony “Kryptonite” Lopez at the Springdale Convention Center. It will be a clash of big men. Chapman weighed in at 294 lbs, while his opponent Lopez weighed in at 259. It will be a battle of big men as Chapman is 6’5” while Lopez is 6’6”.
Although he has had only two professional boxing fights, Lopez is a veteran pugilist with nearly a 100 lutas em seu currículo, spanning multiple combat sports disciplines, Mixed Martial Arts, kickboxing and bare knuckle fighting.
Said JD, “I was only offered the fight on Thursday but decided to take it anyway. Even though I’ve been off for so long, I was already training for a July event, and I think I’m ready enough. I accepted the fight with such short notice because I just could not pass on the opportunity to get back in the ring. I did not realize how much I missed fighting.”
In his prime, Chapman had some high profile trainers, Incluindo Michael Moorer, Jeff Mayweatherand Norman Wilson. Atualmente, he is trained by former MMA fighter Brian Foster and Chapman’s return is being guided by Edward Mendy of Lion Heart Boxing Productions.

MIAMI(Junho 4, 2021) – Social media superstar and undefeated pro boxerJake “o filho problemático” Paulfaced off with his next opponent, five-time UFC championTyron Woodley, at the historic 5thStreet Gym in Miami on Thursday ahead of their highly anticipated summer showdown on SHOWTIME PPV.
Here is what Paul and Woodley had to say following their heated stare down in Miami:
JAKE PAUL
“I told him I’ll pay you double your purse if you beat me. But if you lose, you have to pay your purse to my charity. He lacks confidence. Why wouldn’t you take that bet as a fighter if you knew you were going to win? To make double the money? This is the biggest pay day of your life and you can make double? Put your money where your mouth is.
“He’s a good striker. He’s known for knocking people out. But I think when I beat Tyron, people have to put respect on my name. But that’s not what I’m here for to be honest. I already know how good I am. I know that this is going to be another easy fight. That’s why SHOWTIME is in business with me. Você está olhando para o futuro do boxe.
“He’s not as good as me and he’s playing catch-up. We see holes in his whole entire game and he has try to learn how to box. He’s stiff. Muscles don’t fight and he’s going to be out of his element. This is boxing. This isn’t MMA. You can’t learn how to box in this amount of time. Now we’re going to show him the reins. The Disney kid is going to beat up the five-time UFC champion of the world. It’s going to be hilarious.
“I haven’t even shown my fighting abilities at all. I haven’t even made it past two rounds in my professional career. I haven’t been hit in the face. Nobody can even see if I have a chin or my inside fighting game. I haven’t even warmed up yet. And by the way, I’m the type of fighter that gets better the longer the fight goes on. Eu fico melhor no sparring, então eu nem consegui me aquecer e estou animado para mostrar minha habilidade se ele conseguir sair da primeira rodada.
“Eu previ cada uma das minhas lutas. Eu disse Ben Askren, primeiro round. Eu disse Nate Robinson, primeiro round. Ele chegou ao segundo. Eu disse na minha primeira luta profissional, primeiro round. Eu não acho que Tyron vai sobreviver em duas rodadas. Você pode nem mesmo conseguir ver minhas habilidades de boxe nesta luta para ser honesto. ”
TYRON WOODLEY
“Eu sempre quis boxear minha vida inteira, mas nunca fiz isso. Esta é minha oportunidade. Este é um garoto que é um perfurador de energia. Ele tem muita força por trás dele. Esta será uma grande plataforma para mostrar o que posso fazer em um ringue de boxe. E ele é um lutador. Ele pode lutar. No final do dia, você pode observá-lo e o tempo, o ritmo e o footwork estão lá.
“Ele não lutou muito tempo. Mas a pequena ação que vi foi limpa. Boa defesa. Nate estava correndo com ele, ele se protegeu e saiu de sua concha e o quebrou.
“Ele está tentando minimizar sua habilidade. Ele é um lutador. Não o deixe brincar com você dizendo, _ Sou apenas um YouTuber. _ Semana passada, ele era um lutador. Quando ele estava dizendo que ninguém queria lutar com ele, ele era um lutador. Você não é mais um YouTuber. Você não está na Disney. Já se passou muito tempo desde que ele esteve na Disney. É como se eu dissesse que sou apenas um lutador universitário e não soco as pessoas.
"Eu só quero me divertir. Eu quero treinar forte. Quero melhorar. Eu quero ir lá fora e fazer as coisas nos meus termos e ser aquele que manda. Eu quero ir lá e fazer história. Eu sempre faço história. Nem sempre recebo o crédito por isso, mas sou sempre o primeiro. Os lutadores sempre me perguntam o que devem fazer, o que eles estão fazendo de errado. Agora é hora de eu fazer isso sozinho. "

Here is what the fighters had to say Friday from the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry:
JACK Badou
“I’m just thankful that I’m still fighting on Sunday night. Now we have a new opponent and it’s going to be the same outcome. I’m in great shape and I can’t wait.
“Colina is just another guy. I respect him for coming in and stepping up as a late replacement. But I was going to win this fight on Sunday whether it was Pascal or anyone.
“I’m very frustrated about Jean Pascal. But I’m a pro and I can adjust no matter who is in front of me. I’m disappointed because I won the first fight against Pascal and I waited 18 months to get my revenge.
“I have a little anger that might get taken out on Colina, but it’s nothing personal, just business that I’m here to take care of on Sunday night.
“I don’t really care about the title too much, I really just cared about getting that revenge against Pascal. I waited so long for this and I could have taken different fights while I waited.
“He’s an undefeated guy so he’s going to come in here with a lot of confidence looking to show off his power. We’ll be ready though regardless how he comes into the fight. I had great sparring like always, so I’m prepared for what he’s going to bring.”
DERVIN COLINA
“I’d like to thank Team Badou Jack for the opportunity. Isto é o que eu faço. Eu nasci para isso. Come Sunday you guys will see what I do.
“I was scheduled to fight June 11 on a different card. The fight came a little bit earlier on June 6. But I’m ready to fight and there are no excuses for this fight. I’m coming to win at all costs. And you’ll see what I do on Sunday.
“I respect Badou and what he’s done in this sport, but I know that I have everything I need to shock the world come Sunday night.
“I have nothing to lose and that makes me dangerous. I’m going to leave everything in the ring and announce to the whole world that I’m a fighter you’re going to be hearing from.”
JARRETT HURD
“Everyone knows I have unfinished business at 154-pounds. I’m not looking past Arias though. This fight is just a stop at middleweight because I’m going back down to take care of that business.
“We’ve had an amazing training camp with my new trainer Kay Koroma in Colorado Springs. I have a chip on my shoulder. Eu acho que muitas pessoas esqueceram quem eu era. Tive o melhor currículo na categoria de peso. Vem domingo, Vou lembrar a todos quem eu sou.
“É sempre estritamente profissional e será o mesmo no domingo. Arias está obcecado com meu peso e acha que estou lutando. Mas ele precisa se concentrar no que precisa fazer no domingo à noite.
“Não sei onde estou classificado agora, mas eu sou o melhor lutador em 154 libras. Mostrar isso para o mundo é a meta no domingo.
“Acabamos de voltar ao básico no campo de treinamento com meu treinador Kay Koroma. Você sempre pode aprender mais no esporte.
“Eu tenho lutado boxe por 15 anos agora e o treinador Koroma apenas me ajudou a desenvolver as coisas que eu já sabia. Ele me fez não apenas avançar e usar minha força, mas movendo-se e lutando um pouco de boxe. ”
LUIS ARIAS
“Acho que a narrativa é que eles precisavam de um oponente para Jarrett Hurd, e eu não estava tão bem ultimamente. Mas as pessoas tendem a esquecer que eu era 18-0 antes de eu ter minha primeira mancha. Quando eu estava com Floyd Mayweather, Eu estava 9-0 e foi quando eu estava mais confortável. Essa é a mentalidade que estou levando para essa luta.
“Estou perto do Floyd desde dezembro. Eu estive em Vegas treinando na altitude, assim como Hurd. Estou em ótima forma para essa luta e ele ainda precisa descobrir como vai lutar.
“Agora o mundo do boxe vai assistir a essa luta. I’m going to be on my Ps and Qs and he won’t have to look for me. He will have to pick and choose once he gets hit on Sunday what style he wants to fight.
“This is a must-win for me. This is a great name for my resume. I haven’t ducked anyone. I’ve taken every name that’s been brought to me. When his name came up I said absolutely. I’m ready and I’m an old-school fighter. I’d fight you in this backyard, that backyard, any backyard. On Sunday it will show.
“He’s the one who has got the issue with the weight. The fight doesn’t really make much sense at 160 because he’s not ranked and wants to go back down to 154. Mas é uma oportunidade muito grande e um cartão muito grande para reclamar do peso. Vamos colocar as luvas e tudo o que ele pesar, ele pesa. Essa vai ser a melhor luta do card. ”
CHAD JOHNSON
“Eu me sinto muito bem. Tenho usado o boxe para me preparar para o futebol ao longo dos anos, mas eu nunca fiz isso nesta magnitude. Para se preparar para uma luta real, é algo novo. Estou enfrentando um cara que faz isso para viver, então eu não estou levando isso levianamente.
“Eu estava sempre nervoso antes de cada pontapé inicial. Então, eu seria um tolo em dizer que não estou nervoso ao entrar em algo onde estou fora do meu elemento.
“Uma coisa em que sou extremamente bom, é quando há luzes, câmeras e uma multidão, is going in there and entertaining.
“I’ve been working with Jorge Masvidal a little bit, but the last few weeks have been in Houston with Jermall and Jermell Charlo. That’s where most of my work has been. I’ve been doing everything possible to make sure I look the part Sunday night.
“I’m out of my element, so of course I’m approaching this fight humbly. He’s coming to knock my head off. Football is something I did all my life, that’s why I walked the way I did. I can’t be arrogant and take this fight lightly.”
BRIAN MAXWELL
“I don’t know how my name came up for this fight. But like everyone has said, ‘Who is Brian Maxwell?’ That’s been a trending topic on every social media. Mas adivinhem? Hoje, you all know who Brian Maxwell is. And I’m excited about this. It’s a perfect matchup for me. It’s a perfect matchup for Chad. The best of both worlds. Coming from a fan. My hashtag on social media has become ‘Idols Become Rivals.’ And this is the perfect time and the perfect moment for me and him. Like I told him over the phone, I’m a huge fan. But the fanboy has gone out the window. Now we have to entertain and that’s what we’re going to do.
“This is an exhibition, so we are coming to entertain the fans and put on a show. mas ao mesmo tempo, we are two men who are coming in front of each other and have to fight. No matter the outcome, we’re going to put on a great fight.
“I’ve followed this man since Day 1. I know his every move. I’ve modeled myself after him and it’s like fighting myself. I’m going to be humble about this and we are going to put on a show for everyone.
“That has been the question, what round am I going to knock him out. I’m here to entertain and to have fun. This is a great opportunity.”
LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Promoções Mayweather
“We have a stacked undercard on Sunday night. I’ve promoted tons of events and this is one that I’m really looking forward to, because it gives us an array of great fights in addition to a little something different.
“I’m really looking forward to this card. South Florida has been buzzing since we announced this event. We can’t wait for the great crowd and the tons of fans tuning in from all around the world.
“When I think of Chad Johnson, he’s a showman. He does so many different things really well. He’ll be making his foray into the boxing industry in what should be a terrific bout against Brian Maxwell. Chad is looking to possibly steal the show, which is what he’s known for doing.
“Former unified champ Jarrett Hurd is a great champion and I’ve known him for many years. He’s looking to get back and make his mark where he left off. He’s let it be known that after this fight, he’s going to take control of the 154-pound division again. He’ll be up against Mayweather Promotions own Luis Arias and I’ve had the opportunity to witness Arias preparation firsthand. I can tell you right now he’s more than prepared to upset Jarrett.
“In the co-main, I can’t say enough about Badou Jack. He’s a great champion in the ring and a terrific example outside of the ring. He does so much to help people around the world and Floyd and I are really proud of him. We know he’s going to put on a great show Sunday.
“When it comes to this undercard, the fans are in for a great treat. It’s going to be nothing but action from top to bottom.”

I feel that facing a fellow undefeated fighter inspired me that much more in the gym to push even harder. I always train hard, but these are the type of fights that got me interested in turning professional. I’m ready to climb up the rankings with a victory. My hands will be raised after this fight.”
On his matchup with Andrew Strode:“I know that I am more talented than my opponent, but I also know that since he is an undefeated fighter, he has a lot of confidence. This is the second undefeated fighter I am facing in only seven fights. I think that says a lot about me compared to rest of the featherweight division. I want to stop him like I did my last undefeated opponent as that would be a major statement.”
On making his 2021 estréia:“It is great to be back in the ring and return to action. I have been out of the ring for over a year and used my time wisely in the gym, but I also know that ring time is important at this stage in my career. I want to get a big win and return as fast as possible.”
On fighting on 3.2.1 Boxing with no fans:“I want to thank Thompson Boxing for helping me so much early in my career, guiding me, building me into the fighter I am today. I love the way they treat fighters, and it feels like a family, not a company. I wouldn’t want to be with any other promoter. This will be my first time fighting with no fans so it will be interesting to see how I react. Bottom line is I’m coming to fight.” Andrew Strode gives his thoughts on his recent training camp, his matchup with Sanchez and more:
On his recent training camp:“We went back to the basics and put that hard work in the gym. I am very focused for this fight. Most people don’t know, but I have defeated five undefeated fighters in my six fights. I’ve have gone on the road to do it as well. I am in the sport to fight the best and this camp has been a very good one.”
On his matchup with Jose Sanchez:“Sanchez is a good fighter, I know he is smaller than me, despite fighting at higher weight classes, which I think is interesting. I have nothing bad to say about him though, he has done everything he has needed to up until this point, but I am different than anyone else he has ever fought. He will soon realize that he made a mistake taking this fight. There is nothing he can do to stop me. I’m coming out on top.”
On making his 2021 estréia:“It is nice to return as I am basically coming off a two-year layoff which has been rough since my career was going really well to start. I never lost focus in the gym and this is a really big chance for me to show the world my skillset as the bout will be shown live on the internet. All my people will be tuning in and I can’t wait to let my fist fly.”
On fighting in California on 3.2.1. Boxe:“It is an honor to fight on a Thompson Boxing card, I watch their streams, and they’re very professional. I love what they do with keeping fans engaged in the fights, as well as showcasing up-and-coming talent. I look at fighters likeDaniel Roman, e Tim Bradley, and realize they started with Thompson Boxing, so it is a big deal to be on one of their cards. Fighting in California is always nice because of the weather. This is the big time and I’m ready to go!”

LAS VEGAS, NV (Junho 1, 2021)– 18-year-old featherweight sensation, “The War Machine” DJ Zamora III(4-0, 3 KOs), was impressive in his USA debut, scoring a third round TKO againstBrandon Trout, an MMA fighter, who was making his pro debut in boxing. The event took place at the Outlaw Saloon in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and was promoted byLibra 4 Pound Promotions.
Zamora, who is managed by Bob Santos, showed great ring generalship as he dictated the pace of the fight from the opening round. Truta, a southpaw, did his best to apply pressure but was denied as Zamora kept his distance with an educated jab. Em três rounds, Zamora, who is also a southpaw, caught Trout with a damaging right hook that stunned him. Zamora saw that Trout was hurt and unloaded a flurry of punches, forcing the referee to stop the bout in the third round.
“It felt great to make my USA debut against a tough opponent like Trout,” said Zamora III, who is trained by his dad, Demler Zamora II. “I’m happy that I was able to get some good rounds in. My first three fights have been in Mexico, so it was nice to fight in my home country. I’m ready to take my career to the next level.”
“My son showed a lot of maturity in this fight,” statedDemler Zamora II, father and trainer of DJ III. “Trout was not an easy fight. This kid was in great shape and he was coming. I was pleased that DJ kept his composure when Trout was coming in aggressive. My son stuck to the game plan and caught him with a nice check hook, and finished him off like a true pro.”
“DJ is a very skilled fighter with a tremendous amount of talent.”Bob Santos dito. “You never know what you got in a fighter until he steps up against tough opposition. This was a good test to see where he’s at and he passed with flying colors. My next move for him is to get him an opportunity on a PBC card. I’m hoping he can fight four more times by the end of the year.”
O Barrientes Twins, Chavez e Angel, as well as super middleweightAngel Chavez, who were scheduled to fight on this card, had their fights cancelled due to their opponents coming in ten pounds overweight. Angel Chavez’ opponent never showed up.
QUINCY, Massa. (Junho 1, 2021) - O evento principal em junho 26th Cartão “Breakout”, apresentado pelo Promoções Granite Chin, corresponde a dois pesos-pesados da Nova Inglaterra em direções opostas, Steve "O Gentil Gigante ”Vukosa (13-1, 5 KOs) e “Fly” Mike Marshall (5-1, 4 KOs).
O cartão da noite de outro doubleheader dia-noite de Granite Chin (admissões separadas) é encabeçado pelo evento principal de 10 rounds para o vago NABA United States Heavyweight Championship entre Vukosa (13-1, 5 KOs) quem possivelmente estará lutando pela última vez - ganhe, perder ou empatar — e o atual campeão dos pesos pesados da Nova Inglaterra, Marshall.
Vukosa, lutando de fora Quincy, MA, é um ex-WBC dos EUA. Campeão peso-pesado, que ele capturou em 2019 quando ele venceu uma decisão unânime de 8 assaltos contra Joe Cusumano (18-2, 16 KOs). Durante seus 20 anos de carreira no boxe profissional, Vukosa ganhou uma experiência inestimável de sparring no famoso ginásio Wild Card Boxing em Los Angeles como parceiro de treino para campeões mundiais James Toney, Evander Holyfield e Wladimir Klitschko. Ele também dirigiu um ônibus do passado 15 anos para a Autoridade de Transporte da Baía de Massa, a partir de 4 p.m. e terminando por aí 2 sou., depois do qual ele faz sua corrida em. Mas ele está agora 44 com esposa e três filhos e seu relógio de boxe está passando.
“Ainda estou lutando porque amo isso,”Explicou Vukosa. “É difícil abandonar algo em que você é bom. Essa luta e pode ser o fim. Minha esposa ficará feliz. Meu corpo está começando a desmoronar: mãos, costas e joelhos. Eles têm me matado. Eu costumava ser rápido e rápido, agora estou lento. Eu só quero ter uma boa luta, ganhar, ou perder, mas eu quero ganhar. Eu realmente gostei dos dias no Wild Card, aquelas sessões de sparring eram como lutas reais, e meus dias de amador com o treinador Jimmy Farrell.
“Eu vi meu oponente quando ele ganhou o título da Nova Inglaterra, Fiquei impressionado. (promotor)Chris (Traietti) ligou perguntando se eu lutaria com ele, Aceitei porque gosto de lutar e um bom desafio. Estou ansioso para a luta. "
O Marshall de 36 anos, lutando fora de Danbury, CT, ganhou suas duas últimas lutas, ambos nos shows do Granite Chin no mesmo local de sua próxima partida com Vukosa, incluindo seu N.E. desempenho vencedor do título em novembro passado contra Justin “Crazy Train” Rolfe. Marshall não está olhando para seu oponente como doido por causa da idade avançada de Vukosa, mas ele planeja fazer uma declaração de que, esperançosamente, vai dar a ele uma exposição positiva fora da Nova Inglaterra.
"Eu sei que ele é um pugilista veterano, um aluno do treinador do Hall da Fama Freddie Roach, que foi um lutador incrível por direito próprio,”Marshall comentou. “Isto é boxe, tudo pode acontecer. Meu trabalho é me preparar para qualquer coisa. Eu tive o sparring de melhor qualidade em casa com o No. 1 peso pesado amador, Fernely Felix, Jr. Minha equipe trabalha muito, Minha manjedoura, A.J. Galante, me pediu para ser mais afiado na minha última luta (3-rodada KO de Tracey Johnson abril passado), então eu fiz o que ele me pediu para fazer. Meu cornerman Austin Ampeoquio me mantém afiado com as luvas, e meus treinadores principais David McDonough e Bennie ‘The Jet’ Little faça um bom trabalho me empurrando também.
“Eu sei que Steve vem para lutar e estou ansioso por uma noite emocionante de boxe. Somos dois guerreiros frente a frente no ringue, dando um show para os fãs de boxe que realmente gostam do esporte do boxe, não esse lixo de celebridade do YouTube que está acontecendo agora. ”
“Steve teve azar após a vitória de Cusumano,”O presidente da Granite Chin, Chris Traietti, comentou. “Algumas lutas não deram certo, então a pandemia COVID-19 atingiu. Literalmente, tivemos uma briga na Alemanha no dia em que devíamos partir para o aeroporto. Depois disso perdemos muito fôlego com a luta de Cusamano e meio que tivemos que reavaliar. Ele começou uma luta de ajustes há alguns meses, mas agora temos que recuperar o ímpeto vencendo uma luta como esta ou, finalmente, fazer com que Steve cavalgue ao pôr do sol. Esta luta com o Marshall não será um piquenique. Ele estourou na cena local com algumas performances impressionantes.
“Como muitos vindo para a luta, Eu não tenho ideia de como essa luta vai acontecer, o que torna um grande evento principal. Uma coisa eu direi, apesar do que Steve gosta de fazer as pessoas acreditarem, no caso de ele ganhar esta luta, não será sua luta final. Zero chance disso! Se Marshall ganhar, Não tenho dúvidas de que ele terá uma luta na televisão em um futuro muito próximo em uma grande rede. ”
