“We are looking forward to presenting another exciting primetime PBC show on NBC,” said Jon Miller, President of Programming for NBC and NBCSN. “With Adrien Broner returning to the big stage against Shawn Porter plus Errol Spence facing Roberto Garcia, we are expecting some pre-Fourth of July fireworks.”

 

One of boxing’s biggest stars, Broner, 25 ára gamall Phenom sem hefur safnað heiminum titla á 130, 135 og 147 £, is looking to add another win to his impressive resume. The Cincinnati-born star scored a dominant victory over John Molina Jr. á Mars 7 at MGM Grand and will look to return to the same big stage and take down his fellow Ohio-native Porter. Broner hefur ríkt yfir eins og af Paulie Malignaggi, Daniel Ponce de Leon og Antonio Demarco á leiðinni til að verða þriggja deild meistari.

 

Athletic undur, 27 ára gamall Wear is eager to keep his momentum going after scoring a fifth-round knockout over Erick Bone on the inaugural Mars 13 PBC on Spike fight. The Akron-native dominated Devon Alexander in December 2013 to win his previously held world title. Hann fylgdi upp með yfirþyrmandi fyrrverandi tveggja deild meistari Paulie Malignaggi við fjórða umferð stöðvunar í apríl 2014.

 

A 2012 Bandarískt. Olympian sem átti mjög skreytt áhugamaður feril, 25 ára gamallSpence Jr. will look to remain undefeated when he steps into the ring for the biggest challenge of his career. The Desoto, Texas born fighter was dominant in his PBC debut onApríl 11 sem hann sigraði Samuel Vargas með fimmta umferð knockout.

 

A öldungur í íþrótt fyrir næstum 15 ár, the 35-year-old Garcia has racked up nine straight victories and will look to extend that streak to 10 when he faces Spence Jr. áJúní 20. The Weslaco, Texas native has most recently put together wins over Victor Manuel Cayo, Breidis Prescott and a unanimous decision victory over James Stevenson on the April 24 PBC kort.

GH3 Promotions adds Heavyweight Natu Visinia to stable in co-promotional deal with Final Forum Boxing

Skildu eftir athugasemd
Nutley, NJ (Maí 15, 2015)— Vito Mielnicki’s GH3 Promotions is pleased to announced the addition of Heavyweight contender Öldungar Visine to it’s roster.

Visinia will now be co-promoted with Sal Musumeci’s Final Forum Boxing.

Visinia, 30 years-old of Clinton, Illinois scored a 4th round stoppage over Joshua Clarke on May 13 í Hollywood, California as part of the Sugar Ray Leonard Charity Event. With that win he upped his record to 11-1 með 9 knockouts and it was his first effort since his lone setback when he he lost to two-time world champion Steve Cunningham in October.
“I think its a great thing to get with GH3. Vito has been great at moving fighters and getting them fights. That has been my problem is getting fights. I think that being able to stay consistent with fighting and staying in the ring and being able to stay busy will help me out in the long run,”said Visinia.
The win over Clarke is impressive because Clarke is 12-1 as an MMA fighter and 2-3-2 sem Boxer. Clarke went the distance with world-ranked Charles Martin and Visinia was able to impressively stop the native of Richmond, Virginia.
“Clarke was a tough guy. He has never been knocked out in any of his 20 berst. He doesnt have a very good boxing record and everyone he has fought has been undefeated. Going in there to knockout a durable guy like that gives me confidence.”
“I want to stay busy and I will do my end and that is to train hard, I will leave it to Vito and his team to put the fights together. It never matters who I am fighting. People questioned me about taking on Steve Cunningham after 10 fights but that is the fighter I am.”

“We are very happy to make the deal get Natu into the fold with us at GH3,” Said Vito Mielnicki.

“Natu has shown that he is a huge puncher. The only thing he has been lacking is experience and everybody knows how active I like to keep my guys. We already have plans to bring him back Júní 6 and June 27. I look forward to overseeing the development of Natu and want to thank Sal Musumeci for making this happen. Together with Sal, we can bring Natu to the top of the Heavyweight division.”

“I am excited to co-promote with Natu with GH3 Promotions,” said Final Forum’s Sal Musumeci. “Vito keeps his fighters very busy and we feel that is what Natu needs. With the proper activity, Natu Visinia can become a major force in the Heavyweight division.”
