**Лас-Вегас** (Травня 21, 2019) – Undefeated IBF Super Middleweight World Champion **Калеб “Sweethands” Завод** will make the first defense of his title against unbeaten contender **Майк Лі** in the main event of FOX PBC Fight Night and on FOX Deportes Saturday, Липня 20 від MGM Grand Garden Arena у Лас-Вегасі.

“Caleb Plant put the boxing world on notice with his exciting title-winning performance in January and will look to build on that showing against an unbeaten contender in Mike Lee on July 20,” said Tom Brown, Президент TGB Акції. “His first defense of the title will put Plant in primetime on FOX and FOX Deportes in Las Vegas and building up to the Pacquiao vs. Thurman pay-per-view event.

Квитки на заходи, which is presented by TGB Promotions and Sweethands Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased online through AXS.com, зарядки по телефону 866-740-7711 or in person at any MGM Resorts International box office.

Завод проти. Lee will see two hungry unbeaten fighters square off, as Plant looks to defend his title and cement himself as the class of the 168-pound ranks, while Lee will look to join the super middleweight elite as a world champion for the first time.

To win the title, Завод (18-0, 10 КО) turned the tables on the hard-hitting Venezuelan slugger Jose Uzcategui in their IBF championship fight in January on FS1. Going into the match the consensus was that Uzcategui was the harder puncher and that Plant would have to withstand his power to walk away with the belt. It was the 26-year-old Plant, проте, who stunned Uzcategui by dropping him to the canvas twice on the way to a convincing unanimous decision. It was an emotional night for Plant, who is from Ashland City, Штат Теннесі. and now lives in Las Vegas. He had dedicated his career-best victory to the memory of his late daughter Alia, who suffered from a rare disorder that caused seizures.

“I’m more than ready to return to the ring on July 20 as the main event on FOX at MGM Grand in Las Vegas,” Саїд завод. “I’ll be defending my IBF world title in tremendous fashion and this is one fight you guys will not want to miss. I’m taking this fight just as seriously as my last opponent.

“This guy is undefeated and looking to stay that way, but unfortunately for him, he took on the wrong challenge against the wrong guy. Come July 20, he’ll realize he’s in deeper water than he’s ever been in. My last fight was for Alia, but this fight I’m dedicating to my beautiful mother Beth Ann. May you Rest in Peace, Love you Momma.”

The 31-year-old Lee (21-0, 11 КО) graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in business, but decided to pursue his boxing dreams rather than take a job on Wall Street. A native of Wheaton, Illinois who now lives in Chicago, Lee has made a steady climb up the ladder and has been campaigning at light heavyweight. He will be moving down to super middleweight to challenge for his first world championship. Lee is coming off an impressive unanimous decision victory over Jose Hernandez on last June 8.

“I’ve have dreamt of the opportunity to fight for a world title for years,” сказав Лі. “All the years of hard work, pain and sacrifice have led me to this moment. У Липні 20 I will be victorious and prove everyone wrong that didn’t believe I was good enough to even get here.

“When I spent almost two years in and out of hospitals battling an autoimmune disease there were moments I never thought I could get back to this level and there were doctors who told me my fighting days were done. But I have won every fight since and I plan to prove that anything is possible if you want it bad enough. I could not have done this without my Dad, my advisor Mike Borao and my trainers Jamal Abdullah and Julian Chua.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Monday:

**Полі Маліньяджі**

“I’ve always been known as one of the toughest guys in boxing. Lobov is known as a punching bag with a loud mouth.

“If I had it my way, I’d knock him out in the last round. I want to pummel him from start to finish. He’s going to come out trying hard, and then he’s going to get gun shy. He’s going to hesitate to even take a step.

“I’m always looking for my next challenge. I wasn’t planning on this, but it was sold to me, and it appealed to me. Artem is a punching bag and I usually hit that for free.

“I never lie, because I don’t have to fear anyone. You only lie because you’re afraid. Why are Lobov and his team lying? You know why. I don’t care what they think. I’m going to put this guy out next month.

“As I train, I realize that my hands are like razor blades. Get a good look at Lobov’s face, because next month I’m going to make it look like a road map with lines all over it.”

**ARTEM LOBOV**

“I feel I have the upper hand in this fight. With age, it’s easier to get knocked out. He’s never hurt anybody in the ring, so it’s going to be a bad matchup for him.

“I see me stopping him. He doesn’t want it anymore. In order to be a fighter and really compete, you have to have the fire. His fire is long gone.

“My strategy is to come in there and shove my fist down his throat. It’s personal now with the way he’s been talking and acting. I’m going to put him away.

“Paulie likes to hide behind the jab and feint. He never lets his hands go. He just hides and tries to make it to the end of the fight.

“I’m going to let it all go in that ring on June 22. I’m going to be the ‘Russian Hammer’ from the start until the finish. I want to meet him in the ring and put him away like true warriors do.

“I never wrap my hands. Not when I spar, not when I hit the bag or anything. It’s made them tougher. They may not look pretty, but they do a lot of damage.

“It’s game over for Paulie. I heard he’s known as the ‘Magic Man’, but I just hope he doesn’t disappear before the fight.”

**CHRIS LEBEN**

“Bare knuckle is definitely an exciting sport. It’s all of the good stuff. Two guys going toe-to-toe. It’s what I do best and it puts me in a dangerous position to hurt my opponents. When I first saw BKFC I felt like this sport was made for me.

“You can’t really cover up without the glove as a shield in bare knuckle, so it changes how you defend. But it also changes how you hit and where your range is at.

“I think this sport was made for me and it’s going to show in the fight. We’re both heavy hitters. Brennan will be my toughest BKFC opponent to date and I’m not taking him lightly. I’m riding a resurgence and it’s not going to stop.

“I’m pulling out all the stops and doing everything I can to prepare. Because on June 22, I’m knocking him out.”

**BRENNAN WARD**

“Тренувальний табір був йде велика. I’m really excited because I’ve been waiting to do a bare knuckle fight for a while. I knew right away that this was for me.

“I think I have a great skillset for bare knuckle. I’m quick and quick on my feet. I’m strong and have heavy hands. I’m able to brawl or box.

“It’s basically a normal training camp for me, but with more boxing than ever. I’ve always boxed a lot anyway, so it’s something that’s come natural for me.

“I’m a different fighter than who Leben has fought in BKFC. This sport is so well-suited for me. I just want to brawl. I wasn’t as into the other disciplines in MMA, so when BKFC came around, I was ready to sign on.

“I think I’m going to be a force to be reckoned with at BKFC. I’m going to find a nice home and do work in the ring.”

**DAVID FELDMAN, BKFC Founder & Президент**

“This event is getting the kind of coverage it truly warrants. This is going to be a stacked pay-per-view event from top to bottom.

“The main event here is a highly anticipated battle. This is the biggest bare knuckle fight in history.

“We’re really happy with what we’ve been able to build. If you’ve seen any of our events, you know that it’s non-stop action from the start. We’re proud of what we’ve delivered to fight fans.

“People originally said that Artem had no chance against Paulie, but once they saw Artem in his first BKFC fight, fans can see that this might be tougher than anticipated. This is different than boxing and different than MMA. Getting hit with that bare knuckle is different than anything you’ve experienced before.

“I’m so excited to bring this fight to Florida and bring this fight to their fans. Червень 22 live on pay-per-view, this is one you surely do not want to miss.”

**BRIAN RICCO, Executive Producer & Distributor**

“We’re very excited to be on our sixth BKFC show in less than a year. Everything has been amazing. We’re expecting a big fight between two great fighters and we’re looking forward to bringing this event to fight fans around the world.”

Lightweight Keyshawn Davis preparing to go gold digging next year in Japan at 2020 Олімпійські ігри

Травня 22, 2019 FNU47 Залишити коментар

Колорадо-Спрінгс, Коло. (Травня 20, 2019) – Team USA lightweight Keyshawn Davis has been preparing all of his young life to represent his country in the Olympics. If everything goes as planned and remains on schedule, the Norfolk, Virginia native will be boxing for gold next year in Japan.

The 20-year-old Davis, who sports a 110-15 любительські записи, is racking up medals at such a torrid pace that he desperately needs to expand his display case. He is a two-time Elite National (2017-18) and two-time National PAL (2013-14) чемпіон, as well as a gold medalist at the 2017 Eastern Elite Qualifier, 2017 Youth Open and 2017 Національні Золоті Рукавички.

Internationally, he’s done some serious damage, занадто. The highlight of his amateur career, to date, is winning gold at last year’s Strandja Tournament in Bulgaria. Davis recently captured silver at the 2019 Pan-American Games Qualifier in Nicaragua, in addition to the 2018 Chemistry Cup in Germany.

“I won my first International gold medal in Bulgaria,” Davis agreed with it being the highlight of his amateur career. “I was also selected as the Most Outstanding Boxer.”

His victory at the 2018 USA Nationals qualified him for the 2020 Olympic Trials for Boxing, while his silver at the Pan American Games Qualifier qualified him for the Pan American Games (July 27-August 2) in Lima, Перу. This year he will also be competing at the Elite Men’s World Championships (Сім. 7-21) in Yekaterinburg, Росія.

“Qualifying for the Olympic Trials really wasn’t much of an accomplishment for me because it was expected,” Davis noted. “For me it was to get on Team USA, again and this is my second year on the team.

“There’s no real competition for me to qualify for the USA Olympic Boxing Team. My last fight in The Nationals was a little bit of a challenge (проти. **Dalis Kaleiopu**), because I slipped and got up.”

At the Pan American Games, Davis could very well face the Cuban boxer who defeated him by a score of 3-2 at the Pan American Games Qualifier, **Andy Cruz**, setting up a possible rubber match between the two elite boxers next year at the Olympic Games.

“There’s a very good chance we’ll fight again at the Pan-Am Games, most likely in Japan, також,” Davis added. “We have to win two rounds to qualify for the finals and for me to get my revenge. Cruz has a lot more International experience than I do. Він 26 years old and World Champion in our weight class.”

Davis started boxing when he was nine when, tired of Keyshawn and his two brothers fighting each other and in school, his mother asked if they wanted to go to the gym to learn how to box. They did and today, his older (Kelvin) and younger (Keon) brothers are also amateur boxers.

Not long after that he met **Трой Айли**, who is a fellow member of Team USA, and today they’re as close as brothers.

“I met Troy way back, after I first started boxing,” Davis remembered. “We’d meet up at the Nationals and other tournaments and hang together with my brothers. My coach retired, so I went to Troy’s gym (Олександрія, В.А.) and started working with Coach **Kay** (**Koroma**, USA Assistant National Boxing Coach). We’re getting close to our dream (representing the USA in the Olympics) that started so long ago that it seems unreal to be getting close. You can expect two boxers from Virginia to come back from Japan with gold medals. We’re like brothers.”

“Coach Kay first cornered me when I was 13. He’s a great coach who wants us to succeed in life, not just in the ring. He wants the best for us. We have one of the best U.S. boxing teams in a long time and it’s going to show in Japan. We always help each other out and this is a very exciting time for us right now.”

Another close friend of Keyshawn’s is, 2018 Срібний призер Олімпійських ігор **Shakur Stevenson**, who has been through what Keyshawn is approaching, and is now at the level as a professional prospect in which Davis aspires to reach.

“Shakur has always supported me,” Davis continued. “We talk a lot. Чесно, it’s hard for me not to think about turning pro, because my amateur career will be over after the Olympics. I’ve always been taught to have a plan, so I’ve been preparing, business-wise, looking into my options (manager and promoter), and to stay on the right track from the amateurs to pros.”

If he wasn’t a boxer, Davis figures he’d be a realtor, but he’s thoroughly enjoying the life as a boxer.

“This has been a great experience,” Davis spoke about his amateur boxing career, “especially this year getting ready for the Pan AMs. I’ve had opportunities to travel and meet people, but the best part is being part of a team like this. Boxing is an individual sport but, поза рингом, we’re always pushing hard for each other.

“I thank God every day when I get up for putting me in this position. All I want to do is provide for me and my family. At my age, I’m ahead of the game.”

“I’m really looking forward to this fight,” said Lobov. “Paulie has been doing a lot of talking. He hasn’t been able to keep his mouth shut, but on June 22 I’m going to silence him. He’s an old boxer who’s coming off of the couch. He’s only doing this because he didn’t manage his money better, so now he has to take a fight against me, ‘The Russian Hammer.’ I expect to maul Paulie in there. He doesn’t know what he’s in for. I’m going to introduce him to some things that he’s never seen before and this is going to be a real fight.”

A two-time, two-division boxing champion, Malignaggi joined BKFC earlier this year and plans to show off the skills that made him a world champion at 147 and 140-pounds.

Рой Джонс, Молодший. protégé Ikram Kerwat 1st female boxer to headline on UFC FIGHT PASS

***BOUTS WILL STREAM LIVE ON UFC FIGHT PASS® THIS***
***THURSDAY NIGHT FROM CASINO DEL SOL IN TUCSON, ARIZONA***
***AT 10 P.m. E.T. / 7 P.m. P.T.***

TUCSON, Арізона (Травня 22, 2019) – Tunisia native and mother of two, **Ikram Kerwat**, headlines this Thursday evening for her first time in the initial female main event streamed on RJJ Boxing on UFC FIGHT PASS®, починаючи з 10 p.m. І / 7 p.m. PT, live from Casino Del Sol’s outdoor AVA Amphitheater in Tucson, Арізона.

Kerwat (9-1, 5 КО), fighting out of Frankfurt, Німеччина, throws-down with 9-time world title challengerSimone DaSilva (15-12, 6 КО), Бразилії, in the 10-round main event for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) female super featherweight championship.

***Kerwat vs. DaSilva*** is presented by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions and Kerwat is trained by living legend and 10-time world championРой Джонс, Молодший.

“Ikram is an exciting fighter with awesome power and good hand speed,” Jones evaluated his protege. “She’s always looking to improve, and I look forward to her next voyage towards a world title.”

The 35-year-old Kerwat is a former WBC International female lightweight champion, who will be fighting in the United States for the fourth time as a pro boxer. “Fighting in the U.S. was always one of my biggest dreams,” she commented. “It’s amazing. I already have a fanbase and they are really awesome. I like the enthusiasm and positive energy of U.S. люди.

“This is my first main event and I can’t wait to step into the ring. To be live streamed on UFC FIGHT PASS is very important to me, my fans and, звичайно, моя родина. My last fight was also live streamed on FIGHT PASS and it was amazing. I’m happy and thankful for that.

“I want to give a big shout out to my family and my coach and promoter, Рой Джонс, Молодший, his wonderful wife, **Natlyn Jones**, і, звичайно, the RJJ Promotions team for this opportunity and their kindness.”

(L-Р) Ikram Kerwat & Рой Джонс, Молодший.

Про з 2015, Kerwat first met Jones at the WBC Convention three years ago in Miami. “It’s an honor for me to lean from a legendary boxer like Roy,” she added. “He’s a boxing guru! Before I met Roy, I was a brawler, more of an aggressive fighter. Зараз, I’d say I learned to skillfully box. I’ve made a lot of improvements and I developed more, boxing-wise. I grew mentally, which is the most important part in boxing and life.”

Da Silva may have fought in nine world titles fights, but Ikram doesn’t feel that she’s at a disadvantage because of her opponent’s edge in quality experience. “My opponent is experienced, but this means nothing to me,” she remarked. “I fear nobody, but I respect all boxers who step in the ring. I do not underestimate anyone, nothing more, and nothing less. I don’t look at her, I look at myself. This is only thing I have control over. I do my job, live my dream, and I have fun doing it. I enjoy every single minute of it. This next step is very important for us. Every single fight brings me a step closer to my goal, which means that every single fight is significant for my career. Fights like this even more so.”

Although she had only three amateur matches, including a gold medal performance in the Berlin Championships and taking bronze in the German Championships, Ikram is positioning herself for a world title fight in the not too distant future, assuming she gets past Da Silva.

“I trained myself (як любитель) and that wasn’t easy for me, because I really wasn’t a trainer, but I wanted it so bad and now even more,” Kerwat concluded. “I have two kids and I used to say boxing is my third child. And it’s the oldest. I protest and love it, making sure that I progress and develop, getting better and better.”

**Бруклін** (Травня 19, 2019) – WBC в суперважкій вазі світу **Deontay “Бронзовий бомбардувальник” Уайлдер** delivered the 40^ї knockout of his career in devastating fashion Saturday night, sending mandatory challenger **Домінік “Біда” Breazeale**flat on his back with a trademark right hand in front of a raucous crowd at Barclays Center, будинок BROOKLYN BOXING ™, у заході, представленому Прем'єр-чемпіоном боксу. Successfully defending his belt for the ninth time, Wilder joins illustrious company alongside Hall of Famers Joe Louis, Мухаммед Алі, Mike Tyson and more and becomes the 10th fighter in history to make nine or more consecutive successful heavyweight title defenses. Watch HERE: HTTPS://s.sho.com/2Hp0AEh

In the buildup to tonight’s world championship bout, Уайлдер (41-0-1, 40 КО) repeatedly promised that the fight would not last long. The towering Tuscaloosa, Ала. native kept his word, scoring the 20^ї first round knockout of his career and his 15^ї knockdown as heavyweight world champion. Breazeale (20-2, 18 КО) was able to withstand Wilder’s first early onslaught, but could not beat referee Harvey Dock’s 10-count when Wilder connected flush with the most dangerous right hand in boxing later in the opening round.

“Everything just came out of me tonight”, сказав Вайлдер. “I know it’s been a big buildup, there’s been a lot of animosity and a lot of words that were said and it just came out of me tonight. That’s what makes boxing so great.

“I just told Breazeale I love him and of course I want to see him go home to his family. I know we say some things, but when you can fight a man and then you can hug him and kiss him, I wish the world was like that. We shake hands and we live to see another day and that’s what it’s all about.”

As the attention of the heavyweight division turns to what’s next, Wilder insists that a fight with Tyson Fury, the only man he has faced and not defeated, or Anthony Joshua remains on the table and in the works.

“I understand what Fury did,” сказав Вайлдер. “When you get dropped on the canvas like that I understand you have to get yourself back together. But the rematch will happen, like all these other fights will happen. The great thing is all these fights rare in discussion. The big fights will happen. I just want you to have patience.”

Breazeale, whose only two defeats have now come against both Wilder and Joshua, was disappointed he wasn’t allowed to continue the fight.

“I think the ref stopped it a little early because I could hear him saying seven and eight, but that’s boxing,” Саїд Breazeale. “He did his job and kept us safe for our next fight.

“I got on my feet and had my legs under me. It’s the heavyweight division so there’s going to big shots from guys with power. This was a situation where he landed the big right hand before I did. I thought I was going to come on in the later rounds. I’ll be back and go for the heavyweight title again.”

У со-функція, WBC в напівлегкій вазі світу **Гері Расселл-молодший.** (30-1, 18 КО) put on yet another professional display to defend his belt for the fourth time against a valiant **Kiko Martinez** (39-9-2, 28 КО). Due to a gash that opened up over Martinez’s left eye, referee Ricky Gonzalez stopped the fight in the fifth round upon the advice of the ringside physician, resulting in a technical knockout.

Рассел, who was fighting for the first time in a year, showed no signs of ring rust and displayed his full skillset including his trademark lightning quick hands. The 30-year-old Capitol Heights, Меріленд. native was dominant from the opening bell and landed on a remarkable 40% його силових ударів. In an all-action fight with little downtime, Martinez did more than enough to play his part. The Spaniard constantly came forward but Russell continued to target the cut that opened up over his eye after a right hook in the second round. The ringside official called for the stoppage of the fight at 2:52 of round number five.

“I did pretty good,” сказав 2008 U.S. Olympian Russell to SHOWTIME ringside reporter Jim Gray. “We stayed behind the jab and he couldn’t get past it. We knew that intellect over athleticism would get it done.

“We want [WBA в напівлегкій вазі] Лев Санта-Крус,” Russell continued while wearing a shirt that read ‘Leo Next’. “We want to make this fight happen. The fire is all the way hot on this side of the field. You will get burned. I would love for that fight to happen this year. Let’s make it happen.”

“It was a good stoppage for a very tough fight,” said the former world champion Martinez. “I’m definitely a visual fighter so the cut made it tough. Gary was in great physical condition and it was a very hard fight.

“I’m going to rest a little bit now, but I’ll be back. I thought I had some good moments and had a good division. I think I’ll drop back down to 122-pounds to win a world title there.”

У телеконвекторі, непереможеним перспективи **Хуан Heraldez** (16-0-1, 10 КО) і колишній чемпіон світу **Argenis Мендес** (25-5-2, 12 КО) fought to a highly competitive majority draw. Two judges scored the fight 95-95, while a third had Mendez winning 97-93.

Fighting in front of his mentor Floyd Mayweather, Лас-Вегас’ Heraldez controlled many of the early rounds by setting the pace and establishing his jab. Heraldez outlanded Mendez 126-108 in total punches and 70-30 in jabs throughout the 10 раундів. Falling behind early, Мендес, a seasoned veteran and 2004 Dominican Republic Olympian, used his experience to grow back into the fight. The tempo picked up in the fifth round, as both fighters landed several heavy blows but the momentum shifted towards Mendez. The 32-year-old Mendez, who has fought seven current or former champions, closed out the fight exceptionally strong, winning the final round on all three judges’ системи показників. Не роблячи цього, Mendez would have lost the fight.

“I thought I won the fight,” said a disappointed Mendez. “He didn’t do anything to me. How did he win the fight? If I have to prove I beat him in a rematch, I’ll be ready. I won’t leave it up to the judges.

“My speed and my power made it difficult for him. I thought my counterpunching was really good. He tired toward the later rounds and that let me get a little closer to him to get my offense going.”

Так само, Heraldez thought he did enough to win the fight which he viewed as a potential coming out party.

“I thought I won a close decision,” Heraldez said. “I didn’t think it was a draw. He didn’t do anything that hurt me at any point.

“He wasn’t really engaging with me. He was just trying to move around and pick his shots, but it wasn’t anything I wasn’t ready for. I’ll either take the rematch with Mendez or move forward toward my goal of a world title.”

Preceding the telecast, SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN featured three undercard attractions streamed live on the SHOWTIME Sports social platforms. A battle between heavyweights **Роберт Альфонсо** (18-0-1, 8 КО) і **Яго Кіладзе** (26-4-1, 18 КО) ended in a split-draw after eight rounds of action. While one judge scored the fight 77-75 for Alfonso, another had it 77-75 для Кіладзе, with the third judge scoring it 76-76, resulting in the draw.

Also entering the ring was 2016 U.S. Олімпієць **Гері Антуан Рассел** (9-0, 9 КО), the younger brother of the featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr., хто кинув**Marcos Mojica** (16-4-2, 12 КО) twice to earn a stoppage 2:13 в третьому раунді. Rounding out the action was Brooklyn-native and 2016 Гаїті Olympian **Річардсон Хітчінс** (9-0, 5 КО), who scored a TKO of **Alejandro Munera** (4-2-3, 4 КО) after Munera was knocked down in round three and unable to continue despite making it to the final bell of the round.

WOMEN’S MMA FLYWEIGHT TITLE IS UP FOR GRABS AT NEF 39

Травня 19, 2019 FNU47 Залишити коментар

ПРЕС-РЕЛІЗ: Льюїстон, Мен (Травня 17, 2019) - New England Бої (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Saturday, Червень 22 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 39: ALL-AMERICAN.” Раніше сьогодні, the fight promotion announced the addition of a women’s amateur title fight to the card. Слава Ватсон (4-0) планується до обличчя Карі Хілл (4-1) for the vacant NEF Women’s Amateur Flyweight Title. The bout will be presented by NEF in conjunction with Queen MMA Media.

Undefeated Glory Watson will look to continue her winning ways in the NEF cage and, в цьому, make history as the promotion’s first women’s 125-pound titleholder. In 2018, she was the runner up for “Новачком Року” as voted by NEF fans. Earlier this year, Watson submitted a very tough Rachael Lippert (4-3) на “NEF 37.” She followed up that performance with a unanimous decision victory this spring on a fight card in Massachusetts. Watson represents Young’s MMA based in Bangor, Мен.

“I am looking forward to stepping up and attempting to earn the 125 назва,” said Watson. “Caree Hill is a good opponent, and will present a new set of challenges for me as a fighter. Цей бій, виграти або програти, will test my skill and my heart. My time in the amateur ranks may be limited, so I plan to work my way to the top.”

Caree Hill will make the 3,000 mile journey across country from Portland, Oregon to face Watson for the strap. After winning her first three amateur fights, Hill took some time off from the cage following her first loss in 2017. She returned late in 2018 with a unanimous decision victory in her most recent bout. Hill holds a win in the cage of national promotion Legacy FC. She represents Team Quest which was founded by MMA pioneers and UFC legends Randy Couture (19-11) та Ден Хендерсон (32-15). Hill is in good company with Team Quest. The West Coast-based team has produced many of the top names in the sport over the years, including Chael Sonnen (30-16), Нейт-кар'єр (12-4), та покійний Еван Таннер (32-8) просто назвати декілька.

“I’m honored for the opportunity to fight for the flyweight championship for New England Fights,” remarked Hill when reached for comment. “I relish the challenge of fighting an undefeated fighter in her own backyard. I never back down from a challenge. This is guaranteed to be an exciting fight.”

The title fight between Watson and Hill joins two other championship contests already announced for the “NEF 39” card. Josh “Hook On” Harvey (6-0-1) is scheduled to defend the professional featherweight title against Jordan Downey (5-4), while Nate Boucher (4-3) will square off with Robert Presley (5-4) for the vacant amateur men’s flyweight belt. Also announced for the card, Джессі “Viking” Еріксон (9-7) faces Lewis Corapi (8-5) in a professional lightweight bout.

“NEF 39: ALL-AMERICAN,” відбудеться в суботу, Червень 22, 2019 в Androscoggin банку Colisee в Льюїстон, Мен з дзвоном часу 7 pm. Tickets are on sale now atwww.TheColisee.com.
