From cardio to strength and conditioning, sharpening his skills in the gym and intense sparring sessions, the California based Londoner is covering everything imaginable. Vissvarīgāk, he believes the grueling training sessions he’s gone through at both Wild Card Boxing Gym locations is already paying off.

If I fought who he did, I’d be undefeated. Tajā pašā laikā, had he faced the opponents I did under the same circumstances, he’d have a few losses. Lai būtu godīgi, I’m sick of thinking about him. This is the most eager I’ve been for a fight in my career and I can’t wait to show everybody what I can do on May 2nd!"

Canada’s Tony Luis Disappointed in Scoring of Controversial Loss, but Vows to Keep Fighting for his Goals!

Canadian lightweight Tony “Zibens” Luis (19-3, 7 Kos) says he’s disappointed with the scoring of his controversial unanimous-decision loss last weekend to Derry Mathews (38-9-2, 20 Kos) for the interim WBA Lightweight title in Matthewshometown of Liverpool, Anglija, but won’t let it deter him from his goals.

Despite taking the fight on three days’ paziņojums, Luis seemed to outwork Matthews in most rounds and would probably be wearing a championship belt today, had the fight been contested on neutral ground. Diemžēl, the European judges saw it another way, scoring it 114-112 (Jean Legland, FRA), 115-112 (Dave Parris, UK) un 114-112 (Stefano Carozza, ITA), all for Matthews.

I can’t say I feel good,” said Luis, home safely in Cornwall, Ontario. “This was my shot and I didn’t get the decision, but I know with my performance, I’ll get another one. Most of the press and the fans, especially in North America, know what’s up and saw the fight for what it really was. Derry did what he had to do to survive but not enough to win. He was cagey and made the fight look more competitive than it was, and that’s what a veteran is supposed to do.

Despite his disappointment in the scoring, Luis says taking the fight was still a good career choice. “It was absolutely the right decision. You don’t turn down a title shot. But taking it on three days’ paziņojums, we knew we’d have to shake off the jetlag quickly. My game plan was good, but on such short notice, it wasn’t muscle memory. I had to keep thinking about it in the ring. That’s why I think it took me three rounds to get going. Despite all this, I still won the fight. Now I know I belong among the champions in this division and that’s a good feeling.

Luis’ veicinātājs, Greg Cohen no Greg Cohen Promotions, says he’s pleased with his fighter’s strong performance and will immediately go to work for the 27-year-old.

Tony looked sensational sestdien,” teica Cohen. “Taking the fight on such short notice, you’d think fatigue would play a role, but he was a machine in there. That shows you how hard he works in the gym. Of course we’re disappointed in the scoring, but looking at the big picture, we now know we have a championship-caliber fighter in Tony. He responded perfectly to the pressure of a world championship fight. I will be petitioning the sanctioning bodies to keep Tony high up in the ratings and give him another title shot very soon. This time on neutral ground.

Luis will be returning to action quickly, he is set to fight for a regional title against an opponent TBA on Jūnijs 26 at the Seneca Niagara Event Center in Niagara Falls, Ņujorka, and live on CBS Sports Network.

I’m a bit discouraged from the politics,” Turpinājās Luis, “but am I deterred from my goals? Absolutely not. The people have spoken, the fans know who won and that is consolation for me. I will keep moving forward!”

Legendary Referee Mickey Vann To Officiate MBC’s Inaugural Scottish Event This Saturday

Legendary globe trotting Championship referee Mickey Vann will be making one of his shortest international journeys in a long while, this coming weekend, when he officiates the first Malta Boxing Commission (MBC) sanctioned event in Scotland, the Stewart Allan promoted event at the Rivals Gym in Wishaw on Saturday 25th Aprīlis 2015.

 

Vann, who has been the MBC’s chief referee since 2013, has been officiating for close to forty years, the first bout he refereed was Eddie Smith versus Joe Jackson at the Anglo American Sporting Club in Manchester on the 11thOktobris 1976.

 

It would be some seven years later before Vann refereed his first domestic Championship bout, the BBBofC Central Area Featherweight Title fight between Steve Pollard and Steve Farnsworth at the Tiffany’s Nightclub in Hull on the 29th Gājiens 1983.

 

Three years later Vann refereed his first International Championship contest, the Commonwealth Lightweight Title fight between Zimbabwe’s Langton Tinago and Australia’s Graeme Brooke at the Granada Studios in Manchester on 23rd Augusts 1986.

 

With numerous British, Commonwealth and European title contests under his belt on the 8th Jūnijs 1990 Vann refereed his first World Championship bout, the WBC World Minimumweight title fight between Japan’s Hideyuki Ohashi and Thailand’s Napa Kiatwanchai in Tokyo, Japāna.

 

To date Vann has refereed one hundred and forty three International, Inter-Continental and World title contests for the World Sanctioning Organisations, such as WBC, WBO, IBF, WBU etc as well as an even higher number of European, Federācija, British and Irish domestic title fights during his eight hundred and eighty two bout career to date.

 

The most recent of these bouts being the WBO Inter-Continental Cruiserweight title fight between Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk and Russian Andry Knyazev, which took place in Kiev just last weekend.

 

In addition Vann has also judged one hundred and seventy three Championship contests since 1978, taking his officiating career total to an incredible one thousand and fifty five contests, sorry make that one thousand and fifty six contests if we include the upcoming event this weekend.

 

Shortly after returning from Kiev, the effervescent Vann spoke briefly about his career and the upcoming event he is to officiate in Scotland sestdien.

 

“What can I say I didn’t realise I’d refereed that many fights,

 

My most memorable fight would naturally be Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno at Cardiff Arms Park, that was history.

 

But have refereed so many memorable fights, where do I start, Shea Neary and Mickey Ward, now that was a great fight.

 

There’s some from years ago I can remember, like Jean-Marc Renard against Farid Benredjeb, oh what a war that was, they both ended up in hospital.

 

Another memorable fight was Cassius Boloyi against Phillip Ndou, It was a war, absolūts karš

 

They were two South Africans but from different tribes, they wanted me to referee it, not a South African, which was very much appreciated.

 

I remember refereeing the WBC mandatory Lightweight title fight, between Leavander Johnson and Miguel Angel Gonzalez, in a bullring, which was an experience.

 

I refereed in America Jorge Paez and Angel Manfredy, that was a terrific fight, in fact refereed three or four times in America.

 

I think if you count them all I think I refereed in thirty nine different countries, I left school at seven and went back at thirteen and left again at fourteen and I didn’t know at that time that there were that many countries in the world. Man nav, godīgi.

 

I just enjoy what I do, you know I’ve been to Russia, Argentīna, Japāna, all over, I just got back from Kiev.

 

People come up for photographs, even in Kiev, with Mickey the dancer and then they pretend they are you moving about, it’s lovely.

 

I pick out nothing really, I just pick out what has been the big fights that I’ve enjoyed.

 

I qualified as a star grade referee in 1978 and I’m still going, I’d done hundreds of fights by then, it’s not a job really, it’s just enjoyment as such.

 

I wasn’t a very good pro fighter, I was a pretty good amateur, I had sixty six fights as an amateur and lost nineteen, but you used to have three fights a day in the Championships, you fought in the morning, won that you fought in the afternoon and if you won that you fought at night to get through to the next round, in the Army Championships and the boys clubs sort of thing, that’s what we all did.

 

As a pro I have fourteen fights but I lost nine, but I enjoyed it, I’m glad I turned pro and I’m glad I fought, I’m glad I fought amateur and pro and I missed it when I retired and I wanted to do something and my manager suggested I referee, I wanted to coach but Tommy Miller, my manager said to me ‘Jesus Mick what could you teach anyone’, so he said to me you want to be a referee, so I put in for it and it took me two years and I qualified.

 

I’ve enjoyed every minute of it and some times have been better than others, in fact they used to hate me in Scotland, they thought I hated the Scots. I heard this on the radio many times.

 

Alex Morrison will tell you, he thought I was hater of Scotsmen, Man nebija, just they never seemed to get the verdict from me, so it’s quite ironic that Šo sestdien it’s the Scottish promoter and the Scottish boxers that asked for me for this show.

 

I’ve always had great fun there and my all time favourite fighter is a Scotsman, Ken Buchanan, so it’s really nice that they want me to be there for the first MBC sanctioned event there, I can’t wait.”

 

Mickey Vann will be the referee for both the Sandy Robb versus Mathew Ellis and Scott Allan versus Isaac Quaye that co-headline the Stewart Allan (Konkurentus Promotions) event at the Rivals Gym in Wishaw, Skotija sestdien 25th Aprīlis 2015.

Čempionu TKO Gym nepārspētais pussmagā svara potenciāls Onders Ozguls gatavojas veikt savu piekto profesionālo izbraukumu nedaudz vairāk kā nedēļu laikā., kad viņš uzņemas ļoti izklaidējošo Džodiju Meiklu, no Skuntorpas, sešu kārtu konkursā, Marka Liona un Billija Džeimsa-Eliota Wise Guys Promotions LORDS OF THE RING pasākumā Jorkas zālē Londonā sestdien 2nd Maijs 2015.

Ozgul, ir izveidojis diezgan labu reputāciju, kā nopietni grūts un bezkompromisa bokseris, apmēram pēdējā gada laikā, pēc augstākās klases uzvarām pār lietuvieti Dmitriju Kaļinovski, Baitona Īens Džeksons, Lietuvas pārstāvis Remigijus Ziausys un nesen pārspēja Čehijas lielo sitienu Karelu Horejseku.

Ar boksa stilu un pieeju, kas ir neparasti līdzīga noteiktam “dzelzs” Maikam Taisonam, tam nevajadzētu būt nekādam pārsteigumam, ka Ozgula turku fani savu cilvēku ir nosaukuši par "mazo Maiku"., vārdu, kuru sākuši pieņemt arī britu fani, kas viņu redzējuši darbībā.

To malā, Miekle varētu pārbaudīt Ozgula apņēmību, kurš pēdējo reizi guva labu stabilu neizšķirtu pret Portsmouth bruiseri Semu Kuzensu, nav nekāds pārsteigums, jo Linkolnšīras vīram ne tikai patīk vecmodīgi gliežu svētki., bet ir arī ļoti izklaidējoša palaidnīga sērija.

Uzstāšanās slavenajā Champions TKO Gym Hackney, Ozguls īsi runāja par gaidāmo cīņu ar vīrieti, kuru viņi sauc par "Izklaidētāju"..

"Esmu priecīgs, ka cīnos ar sešinieku, Es būtu priecīgs, ja tas būtu astoņnieks, Trenējos divpadsmit apļus, tāpēc seši man ir viegli.

 

Mēs skatāmies uz to, vai jūs varat noskriet maratonu, tad noskriet pusmaratonu ir viegli, tāpēc mēs tik smagi strādājam sporta zālē, tāpēc ringā ir viegli.

 

Pēdējā cīņā es smagi trenējos, Arī toreiz trenējos divpadsmit apļus, pretinieks bija spēcīgs un izturīgs, bet man vienalga bija viegla cīņa.

 

Tā būs arī nākamnedēļ, Es būšu gatavs visam, ko atnesīs Džodija Meikle, Man ir teikts, ka Džodija ir grūta, labi, tas nozīmē, ka mums būs ļoti laba cīņa.

 

Esmu patiesi priecīgs, ka mans brālis Siārs maijā aizvadīja cīņu par titulu 2nd un vēl jo lielāks prieks, ka es cīnīšos par viņa titula cīņu un ceru, ka visi izies un sniegs mums abus pilnu atbalstu.

 

Es vēlos pateikties saviem sponsoriem un visiem tiem līdzjutējiem, kuri nāk un atbalsta mani un manu brāli (Super pusvidējā svara Siar Ozgul), Paldies, ka atbalstāt mūs, gada maijā 2nd jūs nebūsiet vīlušies, Es cīnīšos no labākās puses."

 

Onders Ozguls pret Džodiju Meiklu ir redzams Siara Ozgula un Metta Skrivena MBC starptautiskās pussmagā svara titula cīņā, kas ir Marka Liona titula virsraksts. & Billy James-Elliott Wise Guys Promotions LORDS gredzenu pasākumā, kas notiek pie York zālē Bethnal Green, London sestdien 2ndMaijs 2015.

Par Jūnijs 6, 2015, Cotto will defend his titles against former Two-Time World Champion Daniel Geale (31-3, 16 KO s) of Australia in a fight that will be televised live on HBO from Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

 

Here’s what the participants had to say…

 

Miguel Cotto: “All I have to say is I’ve been here for the past two days and I’m eager to get back to Los Angeles and get into another training session and get back to New York on June 6. All I have to worry about is my mindset during the fight. I know Daniel is a great fighter and I’m going to do my best as always to bring a good and exciting fight to all the fans. See you all on June 6.”

 

Daniel Geale: “I’m as excited as you can ever imagine. This is a great moment for me. Un nāk Jūnijs 6, it’s going to be a hell of a fight and I can’t wait to walk away with the titles.”

 

Michael Yormark, Prezidents & Chief of Branding and Strategy of Roc Nation: “Today is a historic day for Roc Nation and our boxing division. Muhammed Ali once said ‘he who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.’ At Roc Nation, we decided to launch our boxing division in August of 2014. We knew we were taking a risk. We knew that we were entering a sport that was established with a long history in a deep-rooted culture. It took courage, but frankly Roc Nation is nothing if not courageous…we’re committed to promoting the biggest fights and the biggest fighters. Now just a few short months later, we stand here with one of the best fighters in the world, announcing a world championship bout inside the new mecca of boxing, Barclays Center, and broadcast on the standard bearer for live boxing telecasts, HBO.

Par Jūnijs 6, Miguel Cotto will defend his Middleweight WBC Championship against a tough opponent, Daniel Geale. Have no doubt, it will be a great fight at Barclays Center and everyone will enjoy the fight especially the Puerto Ricans. Miguel Cotto will be ready, will train as hard as always and be ready for the challenge Daniel Geale brings.”

 

Gary Shaw, Gary Shaw Productions: “If you look at Daniel’s fight against Sturm, when we went to Germany and lifted the belt and became the world champion, that’s the Daniel Geale you’re going to see on Jūnijs 6. You’re going to see a great fight. Miguel Cotto is a great fighter. Daniel understands that and we have a great deal of respect for him, bet Jūnijs 6on HBO at Barclays Center, it will be a whole new night. It will be a night when Daniel Geale takes the belt back to Australia.”
