JEISON ROSARIO: “FIGHT FANS ARE GOING TO GET A WAR ON SEPTEMBER 26!"
TOP LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT MENG FANLONG NOW A FREE AGENT
SEPTEMBER 22nd, 2020 NEW YORK CITY – Former Olympian and #1 ranked IBF light heavyweight contender Meng Fanlong (16-0, 10 KOs) is now a promotional free agent after reaching a separation agreement with Roc Nation.
“I’m very happy to be a free agent," said Meng. “I have the best team around me, my advisors Terry and Tommy Lane, my trainer Shaun George, my attorney Scott Shaffer and my Chinese representative Kurt Li. They are building a solid plan for my career and I am really looking forward to the future. I am still the mandatory challenger in the IBF. Ας το πάρει επάνω!"
Το προηγούμενο καλοκαίρι, Meng earned the IBF’s #1 ranking with a 2019 victory over then-undefeated Adam Deines. Σαν άποτέλεσμα, Meng was set to fight unified champion Artur Beterbiev on March 28th, 2020, but the coronavirus pandemic KO’d the bout. In late 2018, Meng traveled to Monte Carlo and stopped British contender Frank Buglioni in five rounds, sending Buglioni into retirement. His most recent fight was a second-round stoppage of Gilberto Rubio that was not televised anywhere.
Despite his undefeated record and stellar amateur background highlighted by representing his native China at the 2012 ΟΛΥΜΠΙΑΚΟΙ ΑΓΩΝΕΣ, Meng remains relatively unknown in the United States. His current team intends for that to change soon.
“We can’t wait for people to see him fight;" said Meng’s advisor, Tommy Lane. “He is one of the best fighters in boxing today and is yet to fight on a major platform, and that’s a shame. We hope to change that very soon. We are currently feilding different opportunities for Fanlong.”

Meng Fanlong is a Chinese, αήττητο, professional boxer who competes in the light heavyweight division. Meng has a long list of amateur boxing accomplishments, including earning a spot on the the 2012 Chinese Olympic team. He is now a top-ten ranked light heavyweight as a professional.

Undefeated title belt collector santiago “somer” dominguez plans to add welterweight strap to growing collection
LAS VEGAS (Σεπτέμβριος 21, 2020) – Undefeated, world-rated Mexican welterweightSantiago «Somer» Dominguez (22-0, 17 KOs) will be back in action this Saturday (Επτά. 26) Μεξικό, when he pursues yet another title belt, the vacant North American Boxing Federation (NABF), to add to his growing collection.
The 28-year-old Dominguez, fighting out of Obregon, Sonora, Μεξικό, is the reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) FECARBOX and USNBC (Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες) 147-pound champion. Saturday night he headlines a De La O Promotions card in Cocorit, Sonora, Mexico. Ranked No. 14 στο WBC και αριθ. 1 in the NABF, the fierce knockout artist faces fellow countrymanJose Rosario Cazarez (19-5-1, 10 KOs) in the 10-round main event for the vacant NABF crown.Μπλερ Cobbs reportedly relinquished his NABF championship rather than fight his mandatory defense versus rising star Dominguez.
“I was surprised and humbled when I found out I was fighting for the vacated NABF belt,” Dominguez commented. “I will not disappoint in this fight; my coaches have me ready.”
“We believe Santiago Dominguez will be a world champion,” said his promoter, RJJ Boxing CEO and co-founderKeith Veltre. “He’s the highest ranked Mexican welterweight in the world and more than ready to move up to the next level. This will be his next step towards becoming the future of the welterweight division. We appreciate the chance for Santiago to fight for the NABF championship”
Cazarez, who is unbeaten in his last seven fights (6-0-1), has been stopped only once, four years ago. Santiago will certainly test his chin.
Dominguez’ head trainer, Alfredo “Pollo “ Ozuna, ήτανΣαούλ "Κανέλο" Αλβαρέζ’ original coach. “ Dominquez is focused and sharp this camp,” Ozuna noted. “Santiago will display better footwork and an offense featuring speed, volume and crushing power. His opponent will meet the canvas and Santiago will be wearing the NABF title belt home.”
“Our team is very appreciative for the opportunity awarded us from Mr.Duane Ford and the NABF,” Santiago’s managerTerry Hollan προστεθεί. “It is certainly an honor!"

I am a very smart boxer with fast hands and power. When people see me, they will see Aaron Pryor, Mike Tyson and Andre Ward rolled up into one! I am happy to be headliningShoBox and being able to show my talent to the whole world.”
