Irish amateur heavyweight champion Con Sheehan To make pro debut Jan. 19 in L.A.
 CORK, Ierland (Januarie 4, 2016) – Six-time Irish National heavyweight champion Met Sheehan will make his long awaited professional debut Januarie 19 in 'n vierronde-wedstryd, teen 'n teenstander te bepaal, at Nokia Club in Los Angeles.
Sheehan is scheduled to be in the swing bout, so there’s a possibility that his first pro fight will air live on the Fox Sports 1 uitsending.
Die 6′ 5 ½”, 220-pound Sheehan is athletic, in addition to being a physical specimen, who also captured a gold medal at the European Union Championships.
Possessing tremendous upside, Sheehan decided to enhance his pro boxing career a year ago, moving to Oakland to work with 2011 BWAA Trainer of the Year Virgil Hunter (pictured above with Sheehan). Dividends are already paying off for the young Irishman.
“It’s been eye opening, I suppose, because Virgil is showing me the most simple of things, technically, that I’ve never seen before and it’s making a massive difference to me,” Sheehan said about being trained by Hunter. “My power has increased 10-fold with simple adjustments that I have learned from him. It was a bit of a shock because, I thought I’d cracked the technical side of boxing but he’s taken me to a whole new level.”
 The 26-year-old Sheehan has the advantage of directly learning from one of the most respected and successful trainers in boxing, Hunter, whose top fighters include Andre Ward (pictured here with Con), Amir Kahn en Andre Berto.Sheehan is the first Irishman that Hunter has ever trained. “Every coach has his own style and mine is old school from Texas,” Hunter explained. “Mine is slip ‘n slide and my fighters need good reflexes and good legs. Cornelius (Con) isn’t a dancer, but he moves the right way, and I like that a lot. I liked what I saw from the first time we met. He keeps himself in good shape and has a good amateur pedigree. I teach a pro style, even to amateurs, and some like Cornelius are better as pro fighters.
“Cornelius is a strong kid. He’s made mistakes, but earlier in his life, and that’s a good thing. There’s always a transition period and it’ll take him a few years. He’s already proven his dedication by being here. If he keeps on track, fighting and training in the United States, he’ll get there in two-three years. The heavyweight division is changing. This is like the time (Tim)Witherspoon, (Greg) Page, (Frank) Bruno and a few others would win the world title and then lose it right back, totdat (Mike) Tyson came along and cleaned up the division. I’m particularly happy with his progress the last six weeks; Cornelius is focused on doing it, instead of just doing it.”
Sheehan is managed by Gary Hyde (Nowhere2Hyde Management), who guided the career of world super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rogondeaux, as well as two-time world middleweight title challengerHassan N'Dam N'Jikam.
“Con Sheehan has stood out to me as a fighter with incredible boxing skills who, I knew, would benefit greatly with Virgil Hunter as his trainer,” Hyde added. “After two intensive training camps, we are all satisfied that Con has what it takes to be a major force in the heavyweight division.”

SIZE AND POWER MEET TECHNIQUE IN NEF 21 BOXING MAIN EVENT
Lewiston, Maine (Januarie 5, 2016) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerika se nommer een plaaslike stryd bevordering, sal sy volgende byeenkoms te hou, “NEF 21: DIE Immortals” op Saterdag, Februarie 6, 2016 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. The fight card is scheduled to feature both mixed-martial-arts (Plaasmoorde) and professional boxing bouts. Vroeër vandag, NEF announced the main event of the professional boxing portion of the “NEF 21” stryd kaart. Northeast Junior Welterweight Champion Brandon “Die kanon” Berry (10-1) will take on the undefeated Tollison Lewis (2-0) in a super welterweight contest scheduled for six rounds.
“This is a classic battle of size and strength against technique,” gesê NEF mede-eienaar en promotor Nick DiSalvo. “In one corner you have a polished boxer with a solid amateur background in the form of Brandon Berry, and he will be fighting in a heavier weight class in this bout. In the other corner you have a powerful brawler with an MMA background in the form of Tollison Lewis, and he has fought most of his career at 155 and 170-pounds. You can’t script a better contrast in styles for a bout like this. Just about anything could happen. It’s anyone’s fight. It’s going to be wild in the Colisee when this one goes off.”
Berry is coming off what many consider to be the defining win of his still-young professional career over gritty Mexican veteran Roberto Valenzuela (73-70-2) last November at “NEF XX.” Despite suffering a bad cut above his eye early in the fight, Berry maintained his composure and looked sharp on his way to a unanimous decision victory in the first eight-round fight of his career. The West Forks, Maine native was a 2013 Northern New England Golden Gloves champion as an amateur. The fight with Lewis is expected to be the last Berry will compete in above his usual 140-pound junior welterweight division.
“It’s great to be getting back in action inside the ring so soon, especially after suffering such a nasty cut over my eye from my last fight in November,” said Berry. “Thank you NEF for putting yet another very tough opponent in front of me. Tollison is a class act in and out of the ring, and I think our styles will make a crowd pleasing bout. I remember being undefeated still and I know how important keeping the ‘0’ on the record is. Tollison is a big, strong athlete and I’m sure he will be more than prepared. Both him and I understand competition, and will most likely be friends after this event. I’m glad to be sharing this main event fight with him, en mag die beste man wen!”
Tollison Lewis’s foray into the boxing world was unplanned. In Oktober 2014, just 24-hours prior to the start of the first “NEF Boxing” gebeurtenis, Lewis stepped in to face boxing veteran John Webster (8-7-1) after Webster’s previous opponent fell out. NEF executives, familiar with Lewis’s striking prowess in his MMA bouts, asked Lewis to take the fight at the last minute and Lewis did not hesitate to oblige. He went on to bully Webster for four rounds, (including knocking Webster out of the ring onto the timekeeper’s table), scoring a unanimous decision victory. This past November, in yet another dominant performance in the NEF boxing ring, Lewis stopped Zenon Herrera (0-1) with a third-round TKO. A win over a boxer of Berry’s caliber, geen twyfel, would propel Lewis to the next level in the sport. Lewis is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) in Lewiston where he trains under boxing coach Scott Frost.
“Brandon is a tough guy and a good boxer,” het Lewis gesê. “I’m expecting a war. I’ll be bringing everything I got, and I know he will too, but I’m planning on staying undefeated. I’m not going to run my mouth. I have a lot of respect for Berry, but fans do not want to miss this. This fight will be a war and steal the night. Thank you NEF and Brandon, let’s do it man!”

Melson Nominated for Most Inspirational of 2015!
New York, NY (Desember 29, 2015) – Junior middleweight boxer and philanthropist Boyd “Rainmaker” Melson has been nominated for Most Inspirational by Ring Magazine.
Having dedicated most of his life during the last 13 years to help cure Chronic Spinal Cord Injuries, Melson’s selfless efforts have been chronicled by various media outlets. The visibility of the cause he fights for and organization he donates 100% of his fight purses to, Span stryd om te loop, has grown tremendously during the last few years.
Die 2003 West Point graduate also helped organize three successful “Fighting for the Cure” galas and successfully lobbied New York’s powers that be to reinstate a bill that allocates a percentage of each moving violation towards Spinal Cord Injury research. Last summer, die 15-1-1 junior middleweight along with Dr. Wyse Young, Dr. Patricia Morton and others met with Congressman Chaka Fattah at a briefing at the Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC to discuss clinical trials that could help hundreds of thousands suffering from Spinal Cord Injuries walk again. Word from Congress about the trial going forward is expected within 90 dae.
Algehele, Melson’s raised more than $350,000 for Team Fight to Walk.
"Last December the WBC honored me with their Ambassador Of Peace Award and this past July the NABF honored me with their Humanitarian Award,"Sê Melson, who captured the WBC USNBC title with a career best performance in May 2015. “A sport that I was forced to first partake in because of a mandatory gym class at West Point my Plebe (eerstejaars) year along with my belief how I could use the boxing ring in order to help find a way to help people walk again has turned into this.”
"My only hope is that any human being learning of this story, especially children, internalize the following: understand your power of creating a vision, understanding what your own abilities are to achieve that vision and prepare to suffer while holding on to that vision for as long as their is air in your lungs. I believe my experience throughout this journey so far has shown again how one person can be the raindrop that creates the storm of change. What is real in our minds is real. I’m honored that Ring Magazine included me and I hope the publicity helps raise funds and awareness for Spinal Cord Injuries. Thank you to the sport I love for sharing my dream.”

SHOBOX: Die nuwe generasie skop af 2016 MET QUADRUPLEHEADER VAN CASINO DEL SOL in Tucson, Ariz.
Onoorwonne Middelgewig Rob Brant Faces Decarlo Perez in Main Event; Harmonito Dela Torre, Jarrell Miller & Bakhtiyar Eyubov
Risiko hul onbevlekte Records In Ander Televisie Veg
Vrydag, Jan. 22 Op 10:35 namiddag. EN/PT
Woon op Showtime®
NEW YORK (Desember. 28, 2015) - ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie begin sy 15ste jaar op Showtime® met 'n plofbare quadrupleheader op Vrydag, Jan. 22, 2016 live vanaf Sun Casino in Tucson, Ariz. (10:35 namiddag. EN/PT, vertraag op die Weskus).
In die belangrikste gebeurtenis van die aand, onoorwonne middelgewigtitel Rob "Bravo" Brant (18-0, 11 Uitklophoue, 0-3 in World Series of Boxing) van St. Paul, Van., maatreëls teen Atlantic City se Decarlo Perez (15-3-1, 5 Uitklophoue) in 'n 10-ronde matchup.
In mede featured aanvalle, onoorwonne Harmonito "Hammer" Dela Torre (17-0, 12 Uitklophoue), van Las Vegas deur middel van die Filippyne, makes his United States debut against Rafael Guzman (16-1-1, 10 Uitklophoue), van Ensenada, Mexico in an eight-round super featherweight bout and undefeated heavyweight Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller (15-0-1, 13 Uitklophoue) van Brooklyn, N.Y.. faces southpaw Donovan Dennis (14-3, 11 Uitklophoue, 2-1 in WSB) van Cleveland, Ohio in an eight-round scrap.
Die opening van die ShoBox uitsending, hard-hitting Bakhtiyar Eyubov (9-0, 9 Uitklophoue), van Brooklyn, N.Y.. by way of Kazakhstan, voldoen aan Jared Robinson(16-2-1, 7 Uitklophoue), of Sumter, S.C. in an eight-round super lightweight tiff.
The event is promoted by Greg Cohen Promotions.
Boxing historian and expert ring analyst Steve Farhood has called every fight on ShoBox since it premiered in 2001. He anticipates another year of excellent, competitive matchups in 2016.
“In 2015, we had eight fighters who appeared on ShoBox en hy het op die wêreld titels te wen. That means the average number of shows in which you’ll see a future world champion is one out of four,"Sê Farhood.
“We saw some fantastic prospects last year, insluitend Erickson Lubin en Regis Prograis and fresh faces like Jarrett Hurd, Rob Brant—and a fighter who almost seems ready to fight for a title now—SergeyDerevyanchenko. Given Shobox’s 15-year history, I’m fully expecting that we will have more of the same in 2016.’’
Brant, Perez and Miller will be making their second consecutive appearances on ShoBox. Brant and Miller were victorious last Oktober. 23, Perez last Augustus. 28. Robinson will also be making his second ShoBox start; the four other boxers will be making their debuts.
“Both Brant and Perez won their most recent appearances on ShoBoxand both were impressive,'' Farhood gesê. “Brant took a big step up and outpointed Louis Rose in October and Perez pulled off the upset over the previously unbeaten Juan Ubaldo Cabrera in Augustus. So it makes all the sense in the world to match them against each other. On Jan. 22, we’re going to find out just how hot Rob Brant is.’’
Twenty-six-year-old Brant will be headlining his second consecutiveShoBox. In his first, he captured a hard-fought 10-round majority decision over Rose. Gaan 10 rondes vir die eerste keer, Brant triumphed in an entertaining tight fight.
Voor die draai pro in November 2010, Brant was a 2010 Nasionale Golden Gloves Kampioen 178 pond en 'n lid van die U.S. national boxing team pro. He currently trains in Dallas alongside top prospect Errol Spence Jr.
“I’m really excited about this fight and I’ve been training hard for several weeks now,’’ Brant said. “I’ve got a very serious opponent in front of me. He rates about a 7.7 at everything, which doesn’t leave a whole lot of weaknesses. I’ve got to go back to pure boxing for this one. I have to be better in every department. It’s my second time headlining ShoBox and I plan on improving from the first time, so viewers can chart my progress. This is my time to show my growth.’’
Perez, who hails from a fighting family, het vier reguit en nege van sy laaste gewen 10. Hy het 'n verrassende, omgekrap, 'n 10-ronde eenparige besluit oor Cabrera (23-0 gaan in) in sy laaste uitstappie. Perez, wat die stryd op 'n week kennis geneem, outpointed die tweemalige Dominikaanse Republiek Olimpiese deur die tellings van 98-91 twee keer en 97-92.
"Ek is so opgewonde ek is die belangrikste gebeurtenis op nasionale televisie,'' Perez gesê. "Ek weet nie baie oor my opponent, maar ek is goed voorbereid, beide geestelik en fisies. Ek is van plan op te gee die ondersteuners 'n opwindende aand.
"Camp is baie goed gaan. My bestuurspan gebring in top sparring met al onoorwonne boksers, een wese Julian Williams. Ek is opgewonde dat my afrigter is die feit dat ek die meerderheid veg, indien nie almal van hierdie stryd, in die hotklou houding. Ek is regtig 'n hotklou, maar ek het geveg regshandige meeste van my loopbaan. "
Perez se laaste verlies kom op 'n split agt-ronde besluit om wêreldtitel uitdager Wilky Campfort in Januarie 2014. Buite die ring, Perez is 'n apteek tegnikus by 'n Atlantic City hospitaal.
Miller, 'n voormalige New York Golden Gloves-finalis wat pro draai in Julie 2009, is 'n selfversekerde, power-pons swaargewig wat kom by jou uit te klop. Hy het sy ShoBox debuut, stop Akhror Muralimov met 'n verwoestende regterhand na die ken op 1:03 in die derde ronde.
"Ek voel asof ek hier twee jaar gelede moes gewees het,'' Miller het gesê. "Ek is nie kom om vriende te maak. Ek is hier om uit te wis en vernietig die hele swaargewig-afdeling. On Jan. 22, Ek gaan Donovan Dennis sit om te slaap. Ek is nie op die oomblik hoor, so ek het myself bekend te maak. Na hierdie stryd en wat doen ek aan Dennis, Dinge sal regtig, werklik begin om af te haal. Ek is gereed om te vernietig. ''
Behalwe dat 'n harde slaner, Miller het 'n goeie algehele vaardighede en beweging vir 'n groot man wie se gewig wissel van stryd om stryd. Hy het sy laaste vier deur uitklophou, al binne drie rondes.
Bekend vir 'n aggressiewe styl, Miller is nou ten volle gefokus op 'n fistic loopbaan, maar hy kom van 'n MMA en skopboks agtergrond. Vir 'n paar jaar, Hy het deelgeneem aan K-1, histories die wêreld se voorste skopboks organisasie, en twee keer geveg die legendariese Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic.
"Dit lyk of daar 'n nuwe energie en entoesiasme op die Amerikaanse swaargewig toneel wees,'' Farhood gesê. "Deel van wat verklaar word deur die val van 'n dominante kampioen in Wladimir Klitschko en 'n deel van dit word verklaar deur die opkoms van Deontay Wilder, en selfs Travis Kauffman. So vir 'n jong swaargewig soos Jarrell Miller, die tyd blyk te ideaal om veilige TV blootstelling wees en maak 'n naam vir homself. ''
Dennis, 28, gebore en getoë in Davenport, Iowa. Voordat hy pro in Junie 2010, Hy was 'n top-vlak amateur: 11-tyd Iowa State Kampioen, 2011 Nasionale Golden Gloves naaswenner in en 2012 Die. S. Olimpiese Spele Proewe deelnemer.
Die 6-voet-4 Dennis beskik goeie vaardighede, beweging en pons krag om te gaan met sy sterk amateur agtergrond. Sy swakheid is duursaamheid; hy is uitgeskakel in al sy verliese.
"Ek is gereed om te veg,'' Dennis gesê. "Ek het al die opleiding baie hard en ek sien daarna uit om die stryd. Ek wil net hierdie oorwinning te kry en aan te beweeg as ek 'n groot jaar sal in 2016 ''
Dela Torre, beskou as een van die top jong talente in die Filippyne, sal veg buite Asië vir die eerste keer. 'N Groot ponser en wenner van sewe reguit deur uitklophou, die 5-voet-8, 21-jaar-oue kom af athird-ronde TKO oor Ricard Betos laaste November. 14.
"Dit is droom elke bokser se om te veg op groot kaarte in Verenigde State van Amerika. Dit is die volgende stap in my pad na besig om wêreldkampioen,'' Dela Torre sê. "Ek kan nie wag. Dit is 'n geleentheid wat ek sal voordeel te trek uit en wys almal ek is gereed om te stap tot. Ek laat my span konsentreer op my teenstanders en slaag my instruksies. Ek weet net ek sal gereed en in staat is om enige teenstander te stop nie. ''
Voordat hy professioneel op 17, Dela Torre was 'n top lid op die Filippynse Nasionale Amateur Boxing Team. As a pro, Hy het 'n "naam" vir homself gemaak nadat 'n indrukwekkende oorwinning oor Jason Butar-Butar op die undercard van 'n Manny Pacquiao-opskrif stryd in November 2013.
Guzman, 'n 5-voet-8½-duim 20-jarige, sal wees om sy VS. debut and initial start outside of Mexico since turning pro at 16 in Julie 2011. In Dela Torre, Guzman will be taking a significant step up in class. Hy behaal 'n derde ronde TKO oor Pedro Lopez on his last start in Oktober. 9.
“I’m feeling very strong and ready for the challenge of this fight,’’ Guzman said. “Fighting on SHOWTIME is a huge opportunity for me. I hear my opponent is a good fighter, but I am ready for anything he can throw. Everybody is going to be talking about me after this fight.”
Yeyubov, 29, who could be on the fast track to stardom, is regarded by many to be the second-hardest Kazakh hitter in boxing, ranked only behind Gennadi Golovkin. Since his days as an amateur when he won more than 150 gevegte, a vast majority by knockout, Eyubov geleef het tot sy reputasie as 'n vreesaanjaende hollander wat lyk na die regters van die vergelyking te verwyder.
Hy is oorweldig sy eerste nege teenstanders as 'n pro, wen ses deur uitklophou in die eerste ronde en twee deur uitklophou in die tweede. Die verste hy weg in 'n geveg het in sy tweede begin toe hy 'n drie gedruk derde ronde TKO (2:57) oor Jhaquis Davis. In sy laaste uitstappie op Oktober. 29, Hy behaal 'n 1:27, eerste ronde TKO oor Antonio Chaves Fernandes in Brooklyn.
Robinson, 'n pro sedert Augustus 2009, veg uit Charlotte, N.C. 'N veteraan van verskeie geskeduleer 10-ronde gevegte, hy onteenseglik die mees ervare bokser Eyubov is ooit die gesig gestaar. 'N Natuurlike 140-blok,Robinson het sy aanvanklike 14 begin voordat verloor op 'n vierde ronde TKO om destydse onoorwonne Amir Ek op ShoBox in 'n bout het hy op kort kennisgewing op Februarie. 21, 2014.
Twee begin gelede, Robinson geveg om 'n betwiste agt-ronde split gelykop uitslag teen die destydse onoorwonne Haskell Rhodes (23-0 gaan in) Junie 21, 2015. 'N uitstekende bokser met 'n goeie vaardighede en beweging, die 5-voet-9-duim Robinson, 33, kom af 'n eensydige 10-ronde besluit oorChristen Dominguez laaste Sewe. 26. Buite die ring, Robinson is amassage terapeut.
