Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from Toyota Arena:

**TONY HARRISON**

“I’m hungrier now because of the layoff since the first fight. It hasn’t affected my mindset for one moment. Sparring has been intense for me. That’s where I got the rust off. I was pushed every day with guys trying to knock me out, just like he’s going to try to do.

“Nothing about me is fake. Everything I say, I do it. It comes from my heart. The beef between us is real when it comes to my eyes. I don’t like anything about him. The tables turned after what he did right after the first fight. I’m a humble beast and he woke me up.

“I trained in Florida because I needed to be hungry again. I made the changes for me. I was out a year and I had to get mentally correct. Hy het my wakker gemaak. Ek het nie nodig gehad om in Detroit te wees nie, hulle weet ek is die kampioen. Nou is ek reg om jou Saterdag weer te klop.

“Ek het drie beoordelaars gehad wat gesê het ek het gewen, so ek dink nie ek hoef iets in my wedstrydplan te verander nie. Ek is gelukkig. Ek gee nie om oor wat hy en sy span vir hom sê nie. Ek hoef niks anders te doen nie.

“Hy het 12 rondes en het my nooit geruk nie, het my nooit gestruikel nie. Hy het my alles gegee wat hy het. Dieselfde Jermell wat jy in elke geveg gesien het, is dieselfde as wat jy Saterdag sal sien.

“Ons is weer hier en weereens gaan ek presies na wat ek moet doen. Dit is wat aan hom gedoen moet word. Ek is mal oor alles hieroor. Ek hou van alles oor die praat, die heen en weer, en al die geraas.

“Jermell het Jorge Cota uitgeslaan, so hy is weer regs bo? Ek gaan hom weer verneder, dit is my werk. Ek gaan hom van sy pyn verlig. Hy tree op asof hy die sterkste ou in die wêreld is, maar hy is teen 'n dier.

“Ek moet net myself wees en weer wen. Hy kan nie iemand hanteer wat homself is nie. Ek raas hom elke vyf sekondes. Ek moet net die gooi 1-2 daarvan af en ons is goed.”

**JERMELL Charlo**

“Hy praat baie maar hy moet my Saterdagaand sien. Jy gaan dieselfde ding kry wat ek vir Jorge Cota gegee het. Hy het my net meer tyd gegee om in Junie uit die geveg te kom. Ek is baie sterker, nou baie beter en baie vinniger.

“Ek is 'n vegter wat leef en leer. Ek weet hoe om te vorder. Dis reg vir my, want ek verstaan hoe om af te gaan en terug te kom. When I come back, I come back way harder. They made the true champ come out of me.

“They know he’s not on my level. They know what I possess and what I do. Him not liking me has nothing to do with what I’m going to do Saturday.

“Nothing he’s said has gotten under my skin. It’s unbelievable to think that you could get inside another man’s head who gets in the ring and puts it all on the line for this.

“He will get what he deserves. I’m a man of my word and everyone knows what I do. I’m ‘Mr. Keep Running Your Mouth.’ Dit is wat ek doen.

“I want to knock him out and I’m going to knock him out. I’m going to set up the right shots. I’m going to set up what he’s not going to see. Ek gaan jou wys hoe om die gordel te vat.

“Al wat ek weet is dat ek gereed is om te veg. Hy is almal hype. Die enigste ding wat hy vals is, is daardie besering wat hy opgedoen het om uit die rematch te kom, maar ons is nou hier so dis wat ook al. Ek gaan hom verpletter.”

**EFE AJAGBA**

“Ek weet hy het ondervinding en hy het teen 'n paar goeie vegters verloor. Ek gaan by my wedstrydplan hou en ek sien daarna uit om dit Saterdagaand vir almal te wys

“Ek moet hom met my steek toets en kyk hoe hy reageer. Hy het beweging en het goeie ondervinding. Ek gaan hom laat moeg word en my kolle kry. Ek kan nie wag daar te kry.

“Ons het baie hard in oefenkamp gewerk en ek weet dat ek elke dag beter word. Dit is 'n goeie toets vir my en 'n goeie teenstander wat my sal laat gebruik waaraan ons gewerk het in opleiding.”

**Iago KILADZE**

“Dit is 'n goeie toets vir my en 'n goeie teenstander wat my sal laat gebruik waaraan ons gewerk het in opleiding., Dit is 'n goeie toets vir my en 'n goeie teenstander wat my sal laat gebruik waaraan ons gewerk het in opleiding.. Dit is 'n goeie toets vir my en 'n goeie teenstander wat my sal laat gebruik waaraan ons gewerk het in opleiding.. Dit is 'n goeie toets vir my en 'n goeie teenstander wat my sal laat gebruik waaraan ons gewerk het in opleiding., Dit is 'n goeie toets vir my en 'n goeie teenstander wat my sal laat gebruik waaraan ons gewerk het in opleiding..

“Dit is 'n goeie toets vir my en 'n goeie teenstander wat my sal laat gebruik waaraan ons gewerk het in opleiding.. Dit is 'n goeie toets vir my en 'n goeie teenstander wat my sal laat gebruik waaraan ons gewerk het in opleiding..

“Dit is 'n goeie toets vir my en 'n goeie teenstander wat my sal laat gebruik waaraan ons gewerk het in opleiding.. Dit is 'n goeie toets vir my en 'n goeie teenstander wat my sal laat gebruik waaraan ons gewerk het in opleiding.”

**Dit is 'n goeie toets vir my en 'n goeie teenstander wat my sal laat gebruik waaraan ons gewerk het in opleiding.**

“Dit is 'n goeie toets vir my en 'n goeie teenstander wat my sal laat gebruik waaraan ons gewerk het in opleiding.. Ek het die beste gekonfronteer sedert ek was 15. Dit is 'n wonderlike geleentheid vir my en ek gaan die meeste daarvan maak. Hy weet wat Saterdagaand kom.

“Ek was al voorheen hier en ek is gereed om 'n plons te maak. 2020 is my jaar om te skyn. Ek is gereed of die groot name. Ek weet wat ek hier is om te doen.

“Hy is 'n geharde vegter wat na vore kom en die stryd bring. Ek is egter te ervare vir hom. In die einde, my talent gaan vanself spreek. Ons kan hier bo sê wat ons wil, maar my talent sal vanself spreek.”

**RENE TELLEZ GIRON**

“Die enigste verlies wat ek gehad het, was 'n geveg wat ek glo ek gewen het, maar jy leer altyd uit 'n geveg. Balderas is 'n goeie vegter en ek respekteer hom, maar hy is in vir 'n oorlog.

“Ek was oral in taai gevegte so ek weet hoe dit Saterdag gaan wees. Hy is vinnig in die ring en ek het video oor hom gekyk, maar dit is niks wat ek nie sal kan oorkom nie.

“Ek weet wat hy kan doen en ek weet dat ek alles het wat ek nodig het om hierdie oorwinning te behaal. Ek gaan hierdie geleentheid benut en ek weet dat ons Saterdag die show gaan steel.”

THREE UNDEFEATED PROSPECTS IN TOUGH TESTS HIGHLIGHT 250TH EDITION OF SHOBOX: DIE NUWE GENERASIE VRYDAG, Januarie 17

Desember 20, 2019 FNU47 Skryf 'n opmerking

***Vladimir Shishkin, Shohjahon Ergashev And Ja’Rico O’Quinn in Tripleheader Live on SHOWTIME (10 namiddag. ET / PT) Van Winnavegas Casino in Sloan, Iowa***

NEW YORK - Desember 19, 2019 – Three talented, undefeated prospects will put their unblemished records on the line in the 250^steuitgawe van *ShoBox:* *Die nuwe generasie*, the prospect-oriented series that has featured 81 future world champions, Vrydag, Januarie 17 woon op Showtime (10 namiddag.

In die 10-ronde belangrikste gebeurtenis, Vladimir Shishkin (9-0, 6 Uitklophoue), the fast-rising super middleweight prospect currently ranked as the WBC No. 12 aanspraakmaker, will return for his second consecutive test on *ShoBox* against the unbeaten Ulises Sierra (15-0-2, 9 Uitklophoue).

Shakh Ergashev (17-0, 15 Uitklophoue), ingedeel No. 6 by both the WBA and IBF at 140 pond, will face Adrian Estrella (29-4, 24 Uitklophoue) in the 10-round super lightweight co-featured bout of the first *ShoBox* beeldsending van 2020. In the opener, Detroit native Ja’Rico O’Quinn (13-0-1, 8 Uitklophoue) faces Nevada’s Oscar Vasquez (15-2-1, 3 Uitklophoue) in an eight-round super flyweight contest.

Kaartjies vir die geleentheid, wat bevorder word deur Salita Promotions, begin by $20 en is nou te koop by www.WinnaVegas.com.

“Vladimir Shishkin was a stellar amateur with over 300 eindig. We believe he is destined to become a world champion,” het Gordon Hall gesê, who has been the Executive Producer and steward of *ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie* for all 19 years and 250 editions of the cornerstone boxing series. “Shohjahon Ergashev was on prospects to watch lists in 2018 and has lived up to lofty expectations. His aggressive style and punching power make him a fighter who boxing fans want to see. 2020 will be a big year for both fighters. This series was built on giving young, talented fighters national television exposure and we are excited to get a first look at Ja’Rico O’Quinn, a U.S. amateur standout who is an all-action fighter with high expectations.”

“On January 17, boxing fans are going to see some of the best prospects in boxing from big to small,” said promoter Dmitriy Salita. “The card features young, hungry fighters in the super flyweight, junior middleweight and super middleweight divisions. Vladimir Shishkin, Shohjahon Ergashev and Ja’Rico O’Quinn are all undefeated, world-rated fighters on their way to national recognition and world titles. Eerste, they have to pass the biggest tests of their careers.”

The 28-year-old Shishkin shined in his United States and *ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie* debuut in Augustus, registering an eighth-round technical knockout against then once-beaten DeAndre Ware. Standing at 6-foot-1, Shishkin was a standout amateur in Russia where he compiled 301 wins in 330 fights before turning professional in 2016. He has won his last four contests – all scheduled 10 of 12 round fights – via knockout, insluitend 'n 10^ste round TKO of former world title challenger Nadjib Mohammedi prior to his American debut in October 2018. Currently training in Detroit under Javan “Sugar” Hill, Steward at the new Kronk Gym, Shishkin is looking to continue his ascent up the rankings in the super middleweight division with a second consecutive statement win on *ShoBox*.

“Training with Sugar Hill at Kronk Gym is going really well, and I can guarantee that I will be ready and I will put my newly learned skills to use,” Shishkin said. “I hope for another emphatic victory that impresses the American boxing fans. I’m looking forward to putting on a great fight and letting the champions at 168 know that this is my year.”

The 30-year-old Sierra, from San Diego, Kalifornië., is riding an eight-bout winning streak including a unanimous 10-round decision over Fidel Hernandez for the vacant WBC Silver Super Middleweight Championship in April. The son of former San Diego Padres pitcher Ulises “Candy” Sierra, he has sparred with future Hall of Famers Andre Ward and Canelo Alvarez and former world champion Peter Quillin. Prior to Sierra’s career-best win in April, he won four straight contests in Mexico, waaronder drie deur uitklophou.

“I’m happy for the opportunity to face a good opponent and I’ll use him as a steppingstone to get where I want to get,” said Sierra. “I still have a month of preparation to get into the best shape of my life. I know Shishkin is undefeated and has a Russian amateur pedigree. It’ll be the hardest fight of my career, but I will do anything and everything to come out victorious.”

Hard-hitting super lightweight Shohjahon Ergashev (17-0, 15 Uitklophoue), van Oesbekistan, is ranked in the top-15 in three of the four major sanctioning bodies. The 28-year-old is coming off an impressive fourth-round knockout of veteran Abdiel Ramirez this past August onShoBox. In his previous appearances on the prospect developmental series, the former member of the Uzbek national team scored a third-round knockout against then top-10 rated Sonny Fredrickson, and a 10-round unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Mykal Fox. The powerful southpaw currently trains alongside stablemate Shishkin in Detroit.

“I am adding new dimensions to my game and plan on making a big statement in the first *ShoBox* of the year,” said Ergashev. “2020 is going to be my year and I am going to set the tone in my fight with Estrella.”

Star, who hails from Monterrey, Mexiko, draai professionele in 2010 en gewen 22 consecutive fights before he suffered his first setback in 2015. With just seven of his 33 pro fights going the full distance, Estrella is an all-action fighter typical of his Mexican roots. He earned a career-best win, a closely-contested split decision over Oscar Duarte, in sy U.S. debut in February. Estrella will face his fourth undefeated prospect in his last five fights as he looks to get his career back on track with a win over the highly-regarded Ergashev.

“This is an opportunity I’m going to take full advantage of,” said Estrella. “I’ve been in camp for the last two months, so I’ll be in perfect shape to go in there and do my thing. I know Ergashev is a southpaw and a hard puncher with a big KO record, but I’ve been in this situation before. I have too much experience for him. Knowing that if I win this fight I could get a world title shot is all the motivation I need.”

The 24-year-old O’Quinn is rated No. 10 in the world by the WBO. Ranked as the No.1 amateur bantamweight in the country compiling a record of 130-18 voordat hy professioneel in 2015, O’Quinn boasts blazing-fast hands and an ability to throw effortless combinations. A fan favorite in his hometown of Detroit, he was last seen winning a unanimous decision over James Smith of Flint, Mich., in Oktober.

“The time has finally come,” said O’Quinn. “It’s my time to show the world who the king is on live TV. For those that don’t know, Januarie 17, I’m going to show the world greatness in is purest form. They are going to see charisma, skills and explosiveness. I know I’m fighting a tough competitor. Hy kom nie om neer te lê. I’m coming prepared for war. It’s going to be a great night for boxing in the super flyweight division. I’m putting all the champions on notice.”

Vasquez, from Reno, Nev., is a former streaking prospect in the super flyweight division. After losing his third professional fight, the 5-foot Vasquez rattled off thirteen consecutive wins between 2012 en 2017 and was well on his way to making a name for himself in the division before a unanimous decision loss to once-beaten Ricardo Sandoval in May 2018 halted his momentum. After a year-and-a-half layoff, Vasquez returned by fighting Gilberto Mendoza to a majority draw in October. Op 32 jaar oud, the hungry Vasquez finds himself in a do-or-die fight against O’Quinn.

“Training in Reno is going amazing,” said Vasquez. “It’s such a tremendous opportunity for my life. I’m trying to get to a high ranking and it’s a dream come true. I know O’Quinn is undefeated. He’s a boxer who likes to grab a lot. He doesn’t like pressure. I’m hoping I will tire him out. I think he’ll eventually give in as the fight goes on if I put on a lot of pressure. In the later rounds, he won’t even want to come out of his corner.”

To watch the entire ceremony, go HIER

Below are quotes from the inductees, or those representing inductees, with pictures:

**Klas 2019**

**MARK BRELAND**

***Mark Breland***: “I enjoy boxing, it’s a lot of fun. I’m glad to be here because I’ve seen a lot of fighters I grew up with in the amateurs. I enjoy boxing because it kept me off the streets. I wasn’t a street guy., My father would have beaten me up if I had gotten into trouble in the streets. Boxing kept me off the streets, kept me in the gym. I guess I was good at it. I had a fight with a bully when I was 14 and I beat him up. I went to the gym the same day and my coach asked me what happened. My knuckles were shredded with blood. I told him I had a fight in the street. He said you can’t fight in the street. Then I realized boxing and street fighting are two different things.

Shelly Finkel (his manager), when he came into my life, changed a lot of things. Things changed a lot. I focused more on boxing, focused on the Olympic Games, and won championships. Every tournament I went into, Ek het, but it was a lot of fun. I wanted to inspire youths. I hope I can inspire some amateurs coming up. To keep going, stay off the streets, and do something that can change your life in a good way., Eddie Futch for life!”

**JOE FRAZIER**

***Marvis Frazier***(Joe’s son, foto): “It is so good today to speak about my father, what he meant to me, and Joe Frazier always said to me, ‘There’s no right way to do wrong, no wrong way to do right.’ Hy het gesê, if you don’t do right, you’re going to smell this, putting his left fist right to my nose. When it was time for me to do bad, it wasn’t me, wasn’t Marvis Frazier. So, vandag, I’m still smelling it even if he’s not here.

“I just love to talk boxing. As an amateur I was 46-1 and then when I turned pro, I beat the guy who had knocked me out. I love my father. He was a good guy and a champion. I know everybody know Muhammad Ali and I know everybody know ‘Smokin’ Joe Frazier.”

**AL MITCHELL**

***Al Mitchell***: “I got rid of anybody over 16 who didn’t want to go to school. I’ve been doing this the longest time and I want to thank the coaches. I had three or four who didn’t care about boxing, but they wanted their kids to get an education. Izzy Acosta is one. I got a perfect record at Marquette High, they’ve all graduated. I have four kids with master’s degrees, Ek het 14 who have degrees, and four guys who are policemen and no way they should be policemen. Ek is geseënd.

“Old coaches would tell one you’re only as good as your memories. It’s crazy with kids 14, 14, 15. I had a kid named Vernon Forrest, a four-time world champion., It’s not just about boxing. It’s getting an education and after ten years they have a good life. I want to thank you all for putting me in the Hall of Fame.”

***Michael Rodgers*** (Ray’s son): “Eerste, I want to apologize for my father for not being here. He hurt his back over the weekend working a boxing match, believe it or not, and he apologizes for not being here.

“I want to thank USA Boxing and the Alumni Association for recognizing my father for this award. And when he heard about this, he said he didn’t do any of these things during the 72 years he’s been in the sport for awards. He just did what he did for the love this sport and he did what needed to be done.”

**USA BOXING ALUMNI ASSOCIATION**

***Mike McAtee***, Executive Director, VSA Boks (foto): “On behalf of the Board of Directors, President Tyson Lee, I can only say thank you, dankie, and thank you. Vanaand, is a culmination of work between our members, our alumni association, but I have to recognize a couple of people. This great event wouldn’t be done without Chris Cugliari, Al Valenti and Nicole Anderson, our Alumni Association Coordinator.

“I have the honor of talking about boxing and obviously we have passion. When Marvis Frazier said this was a brotherhood, a sisterhood, and none of us, quite frankly, who’ve stepped in the ring – I include myself in that – we’re not right. Takes a special person to climb in the ropes. You all can give yourselves a hand for not being right.

“USA Boxing is proud of our history, but more proud of our future, and I can tell you the young men and women battling at the elite levels, we started at 104 and that will be taken down to 13 by Sunday evening. Maar, more importantly, we’re going to be breeding the next generation of champions, because this is closing the chapter of 2020, but starting the chapter of 2024, and ultimately, when the Olympic Games comeback here in 2028. This is a special time.”

***Chris Cugliari***, Executive Director, USA Boxing Alumni Association: “Three years ago a group of us sat around a table in Kansas City at the National Championships and this idea was hatched: John Brown, Al Valenti, John Scully, Christy Halbert, Mike McAtee and a few others. So, it’s something I’m very proud of and an organization I’m proud to lead with the support of all of you.

“A quick update of the Alumni Association, we’re at about 1200 members right now and this is our third year. We had events across the country the past year, honoring Micky Ward and Vinny Pazianza in the New England area. We gathered in Chicago. We honored Izzy Acosta at the Junior Olympics in Wisconsin, as well as Buster Douglas and coach Mike Stafford at the Ohio Legends celebration, and here we are today honoring our third Hall of Fame class. We’ve come a long way. Our theme in 2020 is two missions: Eerste, we want to take this down to the grassroots level, second is supporting our athletes and their families as they travel to the 2020 Olympic Games.”

***Al Valenti***, Special Projects Consultant for USA Boxing: “USA Boxing is the one fundamental difference that makes a difference in a young person’s life. The path to self-confidence, the path to self-respect, dissipline, oorwinning, and how to accept defeat all comes through amateur boxing.

“Vanaand, the story will be told. Vanaand, we will take you on a path, of amateur boxing in the United States that rivals no other nation. Gold medalists, silver medalists, afrigters, amptenare, doctors…they’re all here. It’s like Woodstock for boxing; everybody’s here!”

***Al Bernstein***, Master of Ceremonies: “I’m delighted to be back here for my third year at USA Boxing’s Alumni Association Hall of Fame. I hosted a lot of events, MC’d a lot of events, and this is the final event because it’s in the end of December. It’s definitely my favorite.”

Vroeër vandag, NEF announced the addition of an amateur catchweight bout to the card.Garry Carr(2-1) sal in die gesig staarAustin Hamilton (0-1) teen 'n gevegsgewig van 165 pond.

Garry Carr currently holds the record for the oldest athlete to ever win a fight in the NEF cage. It is a record Carr first set at the age of 56 in 2017, broke at age 57 in 2019, and will attempt to break again at age 58 on February 8. Last summer, Carr defeated Clifford Redman (0-11) via first-round technical knockout at “NEF 39” in Lewiston, Maine. Carr looks to pick up his third win in the MMA cage at “NEF 42” in Portland. He currently represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) based in Lewiston.

“I cannot wait to get back in the NEF cage for the fourth time,” said Carr. “This one will bring the house down or tear the roof clean off. It’s an honor to train and fight for team CMBJJ. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled – you’re going to see a lot of us on this card, including our fight team manager, Jesse “Die Viking” Erickson. I’m looking to set another new NEF record by being the oldest man to win in the NEF cage at the age of 58. You’ve got to see this one, mense. Hit me up for tickets!”

Austin Hamilton made his cage debut at “NEF 41” last month in Portland. He lost to Carr’s CMBJJ teammate Nate “The Mule” White (4-0) by first-round technical knockout. He will now have the chance to avenge that loss when he meets Carr on February 8 in Portland.

“I’m really looking forward to getting a chance to redeem myself after the last fight,” said Hamilton. “I have nothing but respect for Garry, as so should anyone else in this game. I only hope that when I’m his age, I can still be doing this!"

“Just to be mentioned with those Hall of Famers is amazing,” het Davis gesê. “Ek is verlore vir woorde. It’s not only big for me, it’s big for boxing in the city and all the other fighters that have the opportunity to fight on the card.”

The Davis vs. Gamboa SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast features two world title bouts and will be the first world championship event in Atlanta in more than 20 jaar. Jean Pascal will defend his WBA Light Heavyweight World Championship against former two-division champion Badou Jack in the co-feature of the Premier Boxing Champions event.

Prior to December 28, the last world title fight in Atlanta was unified heavyweight world champion Evander Holyfield’s IBF and WBA defenses against Vaughn Bean on September 19, 1998. SHOWTIME televised that bout live from the since-demolished Georgia Dome where 41,357 fans in attendance saw the Atlanta resident floor Bean in the 10^ste round en route to a unanimous decision victory.

Despite the strong turnout and festive atmosphere for Holyfield vs. Bean, the Hall of Famer Holyfield fought just four times in Atlanta in his 57 professional bouts spanning nearly three decades. The city did host Holyfield’s first title fight, a bout that is widely considered the best cruiserweight fight in history and one of the last great 15 round fights. Op Julie 12, 1986, Holyfield challenged WBA Cruiserweight Champion Dwight Muhammad Qawi in a back-and-forth bout that Holyfield won by split decision to capture his first world title.

While Holyfield vs. Qawi is considered the best fight in Atlanta boxing history, the most significant and biggest event in the city was Muhammad Ali’s comeback fight in 1970. Ali had been stripped of his heavyweight title and exiled from boxing after being controversially convicted of draft evasion in 1967. While his case was still under appeal in the U.S. Supreme Court, Ali received a license to fight in Georgia for his first bout in more than three-and-a-half years. Ali stopped Jerry Quarry in the third round on October 26, 1970 at City Auditorium in an event that would mark his triumphant return. Ali’s conviction was overturned the following year in June of 1971, just three months after the “Fight of the Century” with Joe Frazier.

While Georgia has been home to a number of recent world champions, none have fought in Atlanta as titlists. The late two-division world champion Vernon Forrest was born in nearby Augusta and lived in Atlanta, however he never fought as a champion in the state’s capital. Net so, former two-division champion Paul Williams, also of Augusta, fought just once in Atlanta in 2001 before he became champion.

Davis, who is on-track to sell out his third consecutive venue of the year in three different cities, is hoping to make big time boxing in Atlanta a permanent fixture.

“The spotlight will be on Atlanta,” het Davis gesê. “They haven’t had a big fight there in many years. So it’s a dream to bring big time boxing back just like I did in Baltimore. Atlanta welcomed me with open arms for so many years. I always knew I had a fan base and I always wanted to fight here. Now is the perfect time in my career for it to happen.

“Ek is 'n vegter, but I’m also a fan. So I’m looking forward to it as much as everyone else. I’ll give it my all, I know Gamboa will give it his all. It’s going to be a great night on December 28.”

Kaartjies vir die geleentheid, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, GTD Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on sale and available through Ticketmaster.com. Good tickets are still available. All tickets start at $54 en $104.

VIR ONMIDDELLIKE VRYSTELLING: Portland, Maine (Desember 18, 2019) - New England Fights (NEF) sal sy volgende gemengde vegkuns hou (Plaasmoorde) gebeurtenis, “NEF 42: Simfonie van vernietiging,” Saterdag, Februarie 8, 2020 by Merrill Auditorium in Portland. Vroeër vandag, NEF announced the addition of an amateur welterweight bout to the card.Jason Landry(2-1) is scheduled to take onDustin Carrier(0-0) teen 'n gevegsgewig van 170 pond.

Jason Landry burst onto the NEF fight scene earlier this year making more noise than any rookie had in some time. Landry dominated and submitted a much more experienced Justin Boraczek (4-3) in Landry’s debut at “NEF 38” last spring. In his follow-up effort, Landry nearly took Dan Seigars’ (0-1) face off with a single punch knockout just seven seconds into the first round.

Landry’s momentum, egter, would come to a screeching halt this past September when he met Mike “Boogaloo” Bezanson (4-0) in Orono, Maine. After a wild opening exchange, Bezanson would stop Landry via technical knockout within the first minute of the first round. Not one to let a loss get him down, Landry has used it as a learning experience and motivation to return to the cage in the New Year.

“Fighting has always been a passion of mine,” stated Landry. “Going into that cage where it’s just man-to-man—there’s no better adrenaline rush than that. Losing is learning and is great fuel for the fire. I can’t wait to get back out there and put on one hell of a show for the NEF fans. Expect action-packed chaos!"

Dustin Carrier will be making his amateur debut on February 8, but he his team at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) will undoubtedly have him ready for the cage. Carrier trains at the Lewiston, Maine-based gym alongside longtime NEF competitors like Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (9-8) and former amateur flyweight titleholder Dustin Veinott (5-4).

New England Fights’ volgende geleentheid vir gemengde vegkuns, “NEF 42: Simfonie van vernietiging,” vind Saterdag plaas, Februarie 8, 2020 by Merrill Auditorium in Portland, Maine. Kaartjies is te koop nou opwww.PortTix.com.
