Boston, Massachusetts (April 17, 2019):


Murphys Boxing is proud to announce that the debut event in their new partnership with UFC Fight Pass zal plaatsvinden op Vrijdag, Mei 10, 2019 in Springfield, Massachusetts at MGM Springfield.


In het main event, ongeslagen NABA Super Featherweight Champion, Abraham Nova(14-0, 10 KO) will return in a 10 round super featherweight bout against an opponent to be announced.


Nova, die afkomstig is uit het nabijgelegen Albany, New York, recently entered the WBA’s Top 10 Rankings and will be making his highly anticipated 2019 debut under the Murphys Boxing banner. After an amateur career that saw ‘Supergo 167-11 and win multiple national titles, Nova has been on the fast track as a professional having fought an unheard of 11 times in the past two years.


I truly feel I am ready to take on anyone in the Top 10.”, explains the confident young fighter who just celebrated his 25th birthday in January.


I hope to be in position for a mandatory shot at the WBA world title by the end of the year. I am staying focused, having a great training camp and I intend to make a statement to the rest of the division on May 10th.


In dual co-features, two undefeated boxers from the Murphys Boxing stable will see action on the card that will stream live exclusively on UFC Fight Pass, the world’s largest subscription service for combat sports.


NABF Jr. Featherweight Champion, William Foster III (9-0, 6 KO), who fought 5 keren 2018, will enter the ring for the second time this year against an opponent to be named in a 6 round junior featherweight bout. Op slechts 25 jaar oud, de New Haven, Connecticut resident, whose older brother is Murphys Boxing’s own undefeated NABA Light Heavyweight Champion, Charles Foster, is fast becoming one of New England’s most talked about prospects displaying the rare combination of power and speed only seen in elite level fighters.


Power punching prospect, Carlos Gongora (15-0, 12 KO) will take on Argentina’s Damien Ezequiel Bonelli (23-6, 20 KO) in an 8 ronde middengewicht wedstrijd. De 2x Olympian from Ecuador won the WBC South American Middleweight Title this past February in his native country against then undefeated Jesus Aviles with a highlight reel KO.


Gongora, who is on the cusp of a world ranking, is in talks for his national television debut this summer and is hoping a big win against a fellow power puncher like Bonelli will seal the deal.


In keeping with the event’s international spirit, Murphys Boxing latest signing, Arcon Luis Diaz (6-0, 6 KO), an undefeated Olympiër from Venezuela will return to action against Argentina’s Jose Aubel (8-3, 7 KO) in een 6 ronde weltergewicht wedstrijd. Diaz who made his east coast debut last month against Zach Ramsey, looked sensational, dropping the usually durable veteran multiple times before scoring a second round stoppage to continue his KO streak.


Representing the Boston area, James Perella (2-0, 2 KO), who turned professional last month on Murphys Boxing’s St. Patrick's Day Clash and followed up his knockout debut just two weeks later on Murphy’s Mayhem at Melrose kaart, will look to make it 3 straight KOs when he takes on an opponent to be named in a 4 ronde weltergewicht wedstrijd.


Rounding out the card will be two of Springfield’s own, lichtgewicht, Calixto Cruz (1-0) en weltergewicht DJ Whitley (4-1-1) who will both appear in separate 4 round contests against opponents to be named.


We’re incredibly excited to make our debut on UFC Fight Pass. Dana (White) is a good friend and we’re thankful that he’s taken notice of the incredible roster of fighters that Murphys Boxing currently has.”, says Murphys Boxing founder, Ken Casey.


We’re excited to have a platform for combat sports fans around the world to experience the thriving boxing scene we have created here in New England and to introduce them to several fighters, like Abraham Nova, who we feel will be world champions. To promote the first ever boxing event to be held at an incredible venue like MGM Springfield and to have it air live as our debut on UFC Fight Pass is going to make for a historic night for Murphys Boxing.


Murphys Boxing’s UFC Fight Pass Debut takes place on Friday, 10 mei bij MGM Springfield in Springfield, Massachusetts (1 MGM Way, Springfield, MA. 01103). Deuren open om 19:00. Tickets zijn nu te koop bij: www.murphysboxing.com en www.mgmspringfield /

RANCES BARTHELEMY TRAINING CAMP QUOTES & FOTO'S


Former Two-Division World Champion Faces Former Champion Robert Easter Jr. for WBA Lightweight Title Saturday, April 27 Live op Showtime® from The Chelsea Inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and Presented by Premier Boxing Champions

Team Barthelemy

LAS VEGAS (April 16, 2019) – Voormalig twee-divisie wereldkampioen Rances Barthelemy discussed changes to his training camp as he nears a vacant WBA Lightweight Title showdown with former lightweight champion Robert Pasen Jr. vindt plaats op zaterdag, April 27 live on SHOWTIME from The Chelsea inside of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Coverage on SHOWTIME begins at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and will also feature former super lightweight champion Viktor Postol taking on France’s Mohamed Mimoune in a WBC Super Lightweight Title Eliminator, while rising heavyweight sensation cartoon Ajagba looks to remain undefeated against once-beaten German Michael Wallisch in een 10-ronde zwaargewicht attractie.


Tickets voor het evenement, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with About Billions Promotions, kunnen worden gekocht bijwww.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com or through Ticketmaster.

After losing for the first time in his pro career in a 140-pound title fight against Kiryl Relikh last March, Barthelemy rebounded to stop Robert Frankel in December as he prepared to return to the lightweight division to face Easter. Since the loss to Relikh, Barthelemy made fellow Cuban and former world champion Joel Casamayor head trainer as he looks to return to the championship ranks.

Here is what Barthelemy had to say from training camp at Prince Ranch Bones Adams Boxing Gym in Las Vegas:

How has training camp gone so far?

Everything has been going well under the guidance of Joel Casamayor and the assistance of my brother Yan Barthelemy and Oscar Vasquez. We have been training twice a day and sparring three to four times a week against solid guys like former world champion and ex-opponent Mickey Bey. Like they say, ‘iron sharpens ironand the quality of sparring has been tremendous help in getting me ready for April 27. I feel better prepared both mentally and physically than I did in my most recent fights.


What do you make of Robert Easter Jr. and what do you know about him?

I have seen various Robert Easter Jr fights and have been studying him very closely. He’s a great boxer who likes to use his height and reach to his advantage. He’s an ex-world champion who has fought quality opponents. He deserves all of my respect but we are very confident that we will be victorious against him.

Do you feel you have been able to rebound from your first career defeat?

Most definitely, I have been able to move on and use that defeat as a lesson in my career. They say sometimes we learn more in defeat than we do in victories and that was the case in that fight.

Sometimes we do not see clearly when we are winning. Bad habits or little details that need correction are overlooked when you are winning. Sometimes we do not even see them. I feel rejuvenated and we have made many important changes that were necessary for my career. You will see on April 27 that there is still much more left from Team Barthelemy.


What would it mean to become a champion again on April 27?

We have no doubt that we’ll become champion again for a third time on April 27. This will bring my name back at the top of the sport with many potential big fights to be made. It will mean so much more to me because Cuban boxing has currently gone through a rough patch and this victory will allow Cuba to have a champion once again.

Any final message to your fans before your fight?

Please make sure to tune in on April 27. This fight will be very competitive, with two evenly-skilled former world champions looking to reclaim their status at the top of the sport. Fights like this are what make boxing great. Cuba will have a champion once again on April 27!”

I have a lot of respect for Melissa Hernandez, who has been a big part of growing women’s boxing over the years,” Said Barrios, who resides in San Antonio, Texas. “This fight is going to be a classic Mexican vs. Purto Rican war.

CLARESSA SHIELDS CROWNED UNDISPUTED MIDDLEWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION WITH NEAR-SHUTOUT VICTORY OF CHRISTINA HAMMER SATURDAY ON SHOWTIME


Catch An Encore Presentation Monday At 10 P.m. ET / PT op Showtime EXTREME®

ATLANTIC CITY (April 13, 2019) – Claressa Shields is the undisputed middleweight champion of the world. The 24-year-old Flint, me. native delivered the best performance of her career and cruised to a unanimous decision over Germany’s Christina Hammer Saturday on SHOWTIME in arguably the most significant women’s boxing match in history. De juryleden scoorden het gevecht 98-92 en 98-91 tweemaal.


The two-time Olympic gold-medalist Shields (9-0, 2 KO), who entered the fight holding the IBF, WBA and WBC 160-pound titles, showed off her complete arsenal of skills in the dominating performance and now joins Terrence Crawford, Jermain Taylor, Bernard Hopkins, Oleksandr Usyk and women’s welterweight Cecilia Braekhus as the only fighters to have unified all four major world titles in any weight class.


Christina Hammer (24-0, 11 KO), who owned the WBO belt entering the fight, had her jab largely neutralized and her defense exploited from start to finish. Shields landed a remarkable 44% of her power punches and landed on 112 total punches compared to just 49 for Hammer. As impressive as her offense was, Shields’ defense and head movement was immaculate as Hammer was able to connect on just 13% van haar totale stoten, 11% of her jabs and 18% van haar power shots.


Speaking to SHOWTIME’s Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood following the historic night for women’s boxing, the outspoken and emotional Shields held nothing back.


“I am the greatest woman of all time,”Zei Shields, who nearly earned a stoppage during a barrage in the closing moments of the eighth round. “I did it. She didn’t win a single round. I almost knocked her out. I swear I feel like I’m dreaming right now. Thanks to Christina Hammer and her team. They said she had a hard jab and they weren’t lying. Her jab is off the chain.


“I was just calculating in the first round and after that I started picking her apart,” she continued. “I knew I could hurt her. I thought I finished her in round eight. I thought the fight should have been stopped. She was holding onto me. I just told myself, stay cool, stay cool. I was trying to get the perfect punch to get her out of there.”


Fresh off the biggest win of her professional career, the newly-crowned undisputed champion of the world already has her sights set on another opponent.


“Women’s boxing, we’re on fire. I cannot wait to see the next super fight. Give me Cecilia Brækhus at 154 pond. That’s who I want next. Either her or Savannah Marshall.”


“I didn’t fight very good or fast,” said a subdued Hammer. “That’s boxing, anything can happen. I wanted this fight. She won, respect to her. She’s a tough, strong woman and that’s all I can say.


“She’s fast, she comes forward. She has fast hands. I couldn’t land my jab as good as I expected. I’ll come back and I’ll be back stronger.”


I think tonight’s fight will go down in the history books as an epic battle with the likes of Ali-Frazier, Leonard-Hearns and De La Hoya-Trinidad,” Said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions.With this dominating and captivating performance to become crowned undisputed middleweight champion coupled with her list of record-breaking accomplishments, Claressa Shields is well on her way to being as revered as Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Serena WIlliams, Michael Jordan, Pele and others at the top of their game.


In de co-featured bout, Jermaine Franklin (18-0, 13 KO), widely regarded as the top American heavyweight prospect, kept his unbeaten record intact with a 10-round unanimous decision over former No. 1-gerangschikt in de VS. amateur Rydell Booker (25-2, 12 KO). De juryleden scoorden het gevecht 99-91 en 98-91 tweemaal.


The 25-year-old Franklin dictated the tempo throughout and was far more active and aggressive than his 38-year-old counterpart. Booker had his moments, particularly in the early rounds when he landed several flush power shots but the youthful Franklin pulled away in the second half of the fight as Booker tired and Franklin targeted the body. Franklin averaged 54 punches per round to Booker’s 35 and led 146-94 in algemene stoten landden.


“I think I had a decent performance,” said the Saginaw, me. inheems. “There’s some stuff I could work on. I over-crowded myself a little bit and I was a little over-anxious. He had a lot more experience than me and used it to his advantage. He could see what I was doing.


“I learned to stay more patient because I had him hurt a few times, but once I got over-anxious, my whole game plan went out the window. I started messing up and making crazy mistakes I shouldn’t have. Now it’s back to the drawing board to work on my mistakes and come out bigger and badder next time.”


“I felt he out-hustled me, but it was a lot closer than how the judges scored it,” said Booker. “He was missing me a lot more than it looked. I slipped a lot of shots and hit him clean.


“I knew he would bring the pressure, but he needs a lot of work. He stays too centered with his head. He’s alright. What he has on his side is youth. I’d rate my performance about a seven. I had a training camp injury I was dealing with. I’m going to stay active and come back stronger than ever.”


In de uitzending opener, undefeated top-five ranked heavyweight prospect Otto Wallin (20-0, 13 KO, 1 ND) and Baltimore’s Nick Kisner (21-4-1, 6 KO, 1 ND) had their 10-round bout cut short when the two heavyweights clashed heads in the opening round. Wallin suffered a gash on the side of his head while Kisner suffered a cut over his right eye, hindering his ability to see. At the advice of the ringside physician in between rounds one and two, referee Earl Brown stopped the fight, resulting in a no-decision.


Ten tijde van de onderbreking, Wallin led 14-3 in algemene stoten landden, 7-1 in jabs and 7-2 in power punches.


“To me, his cut didn’t look that bad,” said a disappointed Wallin, who was making his U.S. debuut. “It’s a shame because I trained really hard for this fight and was looking to put on a show for fans in America. I just didn’t have time to get going.


“I’d like to get back in there soon and show what I can do. I’m going to take this as a learning experience.”


“I caught a headbutt and the referee came to me,” said Kisner. “He saw me swiping at my eye and said ‘can you see?’ I said, ‘soon as I get the blood out of my eye, sure.’


“I feel horrible after training so hard. I felt good in the first round. The judges probably gave him the first round, but I always take off the first round. I was feeling like I could get to him eventually. You saw me land my overhand right.”


Tonight’s live event was promoted by Salita Promotions.


An encore presentation of tonight’s tripleheader will air Monday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available via the network’s On Demand platforms.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from the Generals Hall at The Armory:

PETER Quillin

I’m here to put on a great fight. That’s what we worked so hard to do on Saturday night. I’m excited to showcase my talents on FS1 and FOX Deportes and make a statement at super middleweight.

My wife just had a daughter, and that’s been my biggest motivation all training camp. I’m fighting for my family, not just myself. I’m hoping to inspire people who see my story and realize it’s not just about the fight, but about what we’re fighting for. I’m here to spread a positive message.

“Als we in die ring zijn, all I’m going to see is Caleb Truax, nothing else matters. I’m very fortunate to be here and have the chance to display my skills. He has to look good in front of his fans, and I’m just here to give the fans a good fight. There’s no pressure to do anything extra.

The weather here kind of reminds me of back home in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Going to new cities is kind of like having new places to conquer. I’m here with the right mindset that Minnesota is going to be a place I’m remembered and that I’ll have a great memory from.

When I sparred Caleb I remember I knocked his headgear off and it flew across the ring, that’s the only thing I really remember from that. I knew our paths could eventually cross. I’ve had my eye on him and I was really happy for him when he won his title. I have a feeling we’re going to combine for a great fight.

I have a very determined opponent and I’m fighting in his backyard. It’s a tough fight for both of us. I have to put my authority down on this fight and control it. It’s going to be hard with all his fans in there, but what I’ve always done is take negative circumstances, and turn them into positives.

CALEB Truax

I’m excited for Saturday night. It’s a big fight and important for me that I’m in the main event and in a title eliminator. I’m looking to earn a chance at another title and I know that I have to take care of business on Saturday to get there.

I’m looking forward to sharing the ring with Peter Quillin, a guy I’ve known and respected for a while. He’s accomplished a lot. I think that our styles are really going to clash and give the fans a lot of action and drama.

Peter and I sparred a long time ago, terug in 2012. I came away feeling confident that if we ever fought, I’d be able to get the job done. I don’t remember much of the specifics, but I felt confident from the experience. Op hetzelfde moment, I’m expecting an even better Peter Quillin on Saturday night and that’s what I trained for.

I’ve tried to train a little bit smarter for this one. I need to focus more on recovery at this point in my career. I’ve had pretty much the same team around me for a while now. We do the old school training and work hard every day.

The stakes are high for this fight. Whoever wins hopefully gets a crack at the title. It’s going to be tough for the loser to bounce back. If I want to keep fighting I have to leave Saturday with my hand raised.

It’s a thrill to be in this fight and have it here at The Armory in front of my hometown fans. I saw the support that (fellow Minnesota-native) Jamal James got for his last fight, and I’m expecting more of that on Saturday. It’s going to be special and I’m going to take advantage.

SERGIY DEREVYANCHENKO

I’m happy to be here for this world title elimination fight. This fight is important for my career to get back to where I want to go and to show what I am capable of.

On Saturday night I’m going to put on a really good show and give the fans a beautiful fight. Everyone knows I always bring action and great technical skill. I am confident that I will be victorious on Saturday and go on to win a world championship.

JACK CULCAY

It’s nice to be here and I’m very thankful for this opportunity against Derevyanchenko. It’s a great honor for me to be in this fight against one of the best middleweights in the world. This the step that I was looking to take in my career.

I’ve been sparring with Caleb Truax, and I feel it’s gotten me completely ready for this challenge. I’m going to show it in the ring on Saturday night. It’s going to be a lot of action and a lot of skill in the ring.

JOEY SPENCER

I’m really excited to be fighting on this card headlined by Peter Quillin and Caleb Truax. I want to thank everyone for the support, both my fans and my team for everything that’s gotten me here. We’ve worked really hard every day in training camp and I can’t wait to put on a show.

The Armory is a great venue with great energy. I’ve fought here before and I’m looking forward to coming out and putting on another great performance for this Minneapolis crowd.

LEON Margules, President van Warriors Boksen

I’m excited to welcome everyone back to the latest PBC fight night at the armory. Those who have come to the previous shows have noticed that the crowds have gotten larger and larger. These shows are generating great excitement and Saturday is another example of a card loaded with elite fighters.

It’s really a terrific treat to be promoting this card. It should be a great night of boxing for everyone at The Armory and watching on FS1 or FOX Deportes. This card is stacked from top to bottom and is set to deliver from start to finish.

Terrell Gausha trekt zich voor niemand terug en dat zorgt voor een spannende wedstrijd tegen forel. Chordale Booker zal zijn ongeslagen record op het spel zetten tegen Wale Omotoso in wat een van zijn zwaarste tests tot nu toe zal zijn. Het is een show die voor elk wat wils heeft die naar Beau Rivage komt of op afstemt FS1 en FOX Deportes.”

Forel (31-5, 17 KO) heeft verward met enkele van de top super weltergewichten van deze generatie, waaronder Saul Alvarez, Erislandy Lara, Miguel Cotto, Jermell en Jermall Charlo en Jarrett Hurd. De 33-jarige uit Las Cruces, Mexico, zal proberen te herstellen van een nederlaag bij een meerderheidsbesluit Jermell Charlo afgelopen juni. Zijn knock-out overwinning op Joey Hernandez was binnen 2015 koppen de eerste PBC-show op FS1.

“Ik ben opgewonden om weer in de ring te zijn,” zei Trout. “Ik ben klaar om nog een keer om de wereldtitel te hakken en dit is mijn weg terug. Ik ben echt gemotiveerd om die kampioensriem weer te pakken. Gausha is een sterk, technische vechter met een Olympische stamboom. Ik moet naar binnen daar en zorg voor hem en zie er goed uit. Een goede overwinning op hem zal worden behaald me meteen terug in de mix.”

De 31-jarige Gausha (21-1, 10 KO), een lid van de 2012 U.S. Olympisch boksteam uit Cleveland, Ohio, zal kijken om zichzelf er weer in te plaatsen titelstrijd met een overwinning op Trout. Hij kwam tekort in zijn eerste titel vecht tegen Erislandy Lara, het verliezen van een unanieme beslissing in 2017, voordat herstelde zich met een knock-out overwinning op Joey Hernandez in zijn laatste gevecht in december.

“Ik voel me goed over dit gevecht en ik denk dat het perfect is vecht voor mij,” zei Gausha. “Met Austin Trout als voormalig kampioen en ervaring hebben met het vechten tegen alle topmensen in de divisie, het geeft me de kans om te laten zien waar ik aan toe ben. Het gaat niet alleen om winnen, maar het is de manier waarop ik zal winnen, zal mensen op de hoogte brengen.”

Booker (14-0, 7 KO) komt uit een unanieme beslissing overwinning over Juan De Angel in januari op FS1. De 27-jarige linkshandige uit Stamford, Conn., was bezig in 2018, gaand 5-0 met drie knock-outs. Booker is erg actief ook in zijn Stamford-gemeenschap, het runnen van zijn liefdadigheidsinstelling voor risicojongeren en amateurs trainen voor de gouden handschoenen.

“Ik verwacht van mezelf dat ik het beste aan doe prestaties die ik heb gehad in de boksperiode – amateur of pro,” Said Booker. “Ik wil elke vaardigheid die ik heb laten zien, niet alleen bruut kracht. Ik wil mensen laten zien dat ik kampioenschapskaliber ben. Waar ik van zie hij is dat hij een game fighter is en komt vechten. Hij komt graag naar voren. Hij gaat proberen het bij mij te brengen. Maar ik kan veel dingen doen, doos gaan vooruit, achteruit, zijwaarts, of alles wat nodig is om deze overwinning te behalen.”

De 33-jarige Omotoso (27-3, 21 KO) is een veteraan met een harde neus die zal Booker zijn zwaarste test tot nu toe presenteren. Geboren in Lagos, Nigeria, Omotoso leerde vechten op straat voordat hij zijn vaardigheden in het boksen aanscherpte Sportschool. Hij belt zichzelf “Geluksvogel” want hij voelt zich gelukkig te hebben gemaakt het van de straat af en word een succesvolle professionele bokser. Nu training in Los Angeles, Omotoso versloeg Freddy Hernandez voor het laatst in december 2017.

“Ik kreeg de oproep om tegen een jongen te vechten, ongeslagen vechter in Booker en ik zei: kom maar op,” zei Omotoso. “Ik ben echt blij dat hij de strijd aanging omdat de meeste mensen zeggen dat ik te gevaarlijk ben en ook moeilijk. Ik zal alles geven wat ik heb. Als ik naar de ring ga, doe ik al mijn moeite en training in de strijd. Dat is de manier waarop deze sport is. Ik weet dat hij dat gaat doen kom binnen met alles wat hij heeft, maar de sterkste zal winnen.”

Stanionis (8-0, 5 KO) komt uit Kaunas, Litouwen en was lid van de 2016 Litouws Olympisch boksteam. De 24-jarige, wie er nu in woont Oxnard, Californië, en traint met Ronnie Shields in Texas, is on the fast track toward being a top contender. He’s continued to impress with victories over durable veterans Levan Ghvamichava and Samuel Figueroa in his last two bouts.
