16-YEAR-OLD JOHNNY “NICCO” TAPIA STRIVES TO FOLLOW IN HIS LEGENDARY DAD’S FOOTSTEPSAS HE MAKES HIS AMATEUR BOXING DEBUTON HIS MOM TERESA’S FIGHT CARD

Youngest son of late Hall of Famer Johnny Tapia to fight on the preliminary portionof Tapia Promotions’Barriere vs. Af Løve:"Den sidste stand" (Den sidste stand) levefra Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Kasino
ALBUQUERQUE, N.m. (November. 13, 2021)– While countless high school juniors concern themselves with standardized test scores and submitting college applications, Johnny “Nicco” Tapia, the youngest son and namesake of the late five-time world champion, will commence his pursuit of a pro boxing career when he makes his amateur debut on the preliminary portion of his Mom Teresa’sMarco Antonio Barrera vs. Daniel Ponce de Leonpay-per-view fight card Saturday, November. 20, 2021.
“Boxing is a passion,” said the 16-year-old currently working toward earning his diploma online. “I love stepping into the ring, getting hit, and feeling the crowd’s energy.”
In the Nov. 20 main event, two Mexican boxing legends will lace up the gloves for one final night when Hall of FamerMarco Antonio Barrera(67-7, 44 KOS) vender tilbage til ringen for kun anden gang i mere end et årti for at kæmpe mod tidligere to gange verdensmesterDaniel Ponce de Leon (45-7, 35 KOS). The six-round super welterweight exhibition and four additional bouts will air live on pay per view from Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Kasino i Mescalero, New Mexico.
FITE PPVand Golden Boy Fight Night on Facebook Watch Paid Online will televise the five-bout main card live on pay per view for$9.99 på4:30 p.m. PT /5:30 p.m. MT/7:30 p.m. OG
A native of Las Cruces, N.M., Nicco trains in the Tapia home garage, enjoys studying sociology to “look at people from a different perspective,” dislikes mathematics, and currently has no plans to further an academic career following his 2023 graduation.
“I don’t really plan to go to college,” said the music fan who freestyle raps in his downtime. “I want to keep pushing myself in the ring and turn pro as soon as I get enough experience.”
Surrounded by the sweet science from an early age, Nicco fondly looks back on innumerable heartwarming memories of watching his father train for upcoming fights.
“I used to go to the gym and run around with my Dad every day. When the bell rang, I held up the gloves with him.”
Outside of boxing, the father-son pairing spent quality time playing other sports, enjoying delicious desserts, and tuning into their favorite television programs.
“We used to go to the park, play basketball, and jump on the trampoline,” Nicco recalled. “Dad used to give me ice cream sandwiches. I remember going into his room and watching the show ‘Cops’ together.”
Aiming to find inspiration and discover boxing tips from one of boxing’s all-time greatest fighters, young Nicco frequently rewatches Johnny’s classic bouts.
“I study his speed, head movement, and angles,” said the teenager who models much of his fighting style after his Dad and Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
When asked to name his favorite “Mi Vida Loca” fight, Nicco did not hesitate in listing Johnny Tapia’s hard-fought victory over fellow Albuquerquean and former world champion Danny Romero for the IBF/WBO junior bantamweight titles on July 18, 1997, i Las Vegas, Nev.
“The crowd was wild and crazy,” Nicco recollected. “I love studying my Dad’s boxing technique.”
Originally scheduled to fight at Inn of the Mountain Gods on July 31, 2021, the aspiring actor and former viola player pulled out of his amateur debut when he sustained a hand fracture.
“I was playing football with friends and landed on my hand wrong,” lamented the proud holder of a driver’s license. “It was the first time I injured myself.”
Less than four months later, Nicco is eager to thrill the Mescalero crowd on Nov. 20 before Barrera and De Leon take center stage.
“I am ticking off the days and can’t wait for this night to come.”

Hard-hitting knockout artist to put his perfect record on the lineat Tapia Promotions’Barriere vs. Af Løve:"Den sidste stand" (Den sidste stand) levefra Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Kasino i Mescalero, New Mexico
ALBUQUERQUE, N.m. (November. 12, 2021)– From overcoming a crime-ridden, west Texas childhood environment to his father’s incarceration and living out of a car as a teenager, the path toward fighting three-time world title challenger Victor Zaleta on Tapia Promotions’Marco Antonio Barrera vs. Daniel Ponce de Leonpay-per-view card Saturday, November. 20, 2021, has been anything but smooth sailing for the undefeated El Paso boxer Abel Mendoza.
“I was surrounded by violence growing up,” said the 25-year-old lightweight contender who is 30-0 med 23 KOS. “A lot of people that I was around went to prison; I was the only one who didn’t. Boxing was my way out, my safe haven. The sport saved me.”
In the Nov. 20 main event, two Mexican boxing legends will lace up the gloves for one final night when Hall of FamerMarco Antonio Barrera(67-7, 44 KOS) vender tilbage til ringen for kun anden gang i mere end et årti for at kæmpe mod tidligere to gange verdensmesterDaniel Ponce de Leon (45-7, 35 KOS).

After initially lacing up the gloves at four years old and capturing the Regional Silver Gloves at age eight in Odessa, Texas, the Fort Stockton native secured five titles while defeating all but 20 sin 300 amateur boxing opponents.
Men, numerous obstacles have beset Abel on his road toward achieving he and his father’s goal of the young fighter becoming a world champion.
“My Dad got into some trouble at the beginning of my boxing career,” Abel said. “He was on house arrest and then went to jail for a while. It was an extremely difficult time for my family.”
While still in high school, the 17-year-old Mendoza often slept in his vehicle after moving from Odessa to El Paso to become a professional boxer.
“That was a point in my career when I was homeless,” the aspiring titleholder recalled. “I was surrounded by a lot of violence and crime in Odessa and left because I wanted a fresh start. Sometimes I had to stay in my car.”
Never one to shy away from strenuous manual labor, Mendoza’s first job consisted of unearthing fruit in a Pecos, Texas, field with his grandfather at age 13.
“It was summer, and we picked cantaloupes in the hot sun all day,” said the multi-faceted student who is currently taking psychology classes at Odessa College. “That was the year I first won Nationals. I still trained while working in the fields. It was the best and the worst.”
Recalling the arduous memories when he did not know where he would sleep or locate his next meal, the Native American history fan finds solace in giving back to the El Paso community during the holiday season.
“I love to help out at shelters because I have been in that situation where I needed food and a place to stay,” said Santa’s helper who also hands out gifts at west Texas hospitals each December. “It makes me feel good to see the children smile.”
Hoping to battle for a world crown within the next year, the never-married Mendoza counsels the wedded on social media when not honing his skills in the squared circle.
“I go on Instagram Live because people ask me for marriage advice. A lot of people need help.”

(L-R) – Oscar de la Hoya, Gilberto Ramirez & Bernard Hopkins
LAS VEGAS (August 23, 2021) – UndefeatedGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (42-0, 28 KOS) feels he’ll get his first World light heavyweight title shot because he believes in himself, his promoter Golden Boy Promotions, and his Mexican heritage.
The former World Boxing Organization (WBO) super middleweight World champion is a leading light heavyweight contender, aktuelt bedømt Nej. 2 af World Boxing Organization (WBO) og nr. 5 af det internationale bokseforbund (IBF), samt nr. 9 i Ringenindependent rankings for the first time in the 175-pound division.
After Ramirez’ recent knockout victory overSullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KOS), positioning him for a World title shot, the boxing world looked forward to “Zurdo” challenging World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Light Heavyweight ChampionDmitry Bivollater this year. Bivol had all but assured a showdown with Ramirez through social media posts, but suddenly he changed his tune and was dreaming of a match this November that isn’t going to happen against WBA and WBC Super Middleweight Champion“Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (56-1-2, 38 KOS).
The 30-year Ramirez has openly called for a fight with Bivol or either of the other World light heavyweight title holders, Artur Beterbiev (WBC/IBF) og Joe Smith, Jr. (WBO), whose rumored unification fight doesn’t appear to be on the horizon.
I mellemtiden, all three reigning World light heavyweight champions have gone dark, at least in terms of fighting Ramirez. Is “Zurdo” too risky for them, or are they just hesitant to fight a proven Mexican challenger?
“I leave my opponents to my promoter, Golden Boy, and its matchmaker, Robert Diaz,” Ramirez explained. “They’re aware of what I want, and I trust they are diligent and will do whatever is best for me. Som en fighter, I’ve been clear that all the World light heavyweight champs are on my hit list; and I don’t retract my statement or shy away from the fights as most of them have. In this world, all I have are my word and balls, and I don’t break ‘em for anyone. I fight not just for myself, but for my pride and the spirit of Mexican people. We are proud of our heritage and have been the best fighters. Russians know I will take out both Bivol and Beterbiev; Joe Smith, Jr. is just an appetizer.”
“Canelo” andJulio Cesar Gonzalez (2003) are the only native Mexicans to be crowned World Light Heavyweight Champions, but everybody in boxing knows Mexican boxers are called warriors for a good reason.
“I think they’re all reluctant to fight a Mexican light heavyweight like me,” Ramirez added. “There’s a reason why Bivol is retracting his statement and staying quiet after all his social media antics. If he was serious, it’s an easy fight to make, and he knows it (both fighters have fought on DAZN). I’m also hearing (Joshua) Buatsi’s name in the mix, but I would absolutely destroy him. All these guys talk the talk but rarely walk the walk. I am a Mexican warrior; everybody knows the way we are built!"
Other potential contenders in the mix, excluding the reigning world champions, may includeBadou Jack, Eleider Alvarez, Maxim Vlasov (Ramirez defeated him as super middleweights), og Lyndon Arthur.
“My time will come, Ramirez concluded. “I know Golden Boy is working hard on making this a reality and when that time comes, all these guys will have nowhere to run or hide. I leave who I fight next up to my matchmaker, Robert Diaz. I trust that Golden Boy will do whatever is best for my career.
“I’m not frustrated, this is part of the process. I’m a veteran in this game. Many will talk, but they will fall when it’s time to act. Igen, I trust Golden Boy will do what has been promised and I look forward to what fight they will present me with.”
LOS ANGELES (Juni 28, 2021) – Undefeated former WBO Super Middleweight Champion andGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (41-0, 27 KOS), currently a highly ranked light heavyweight contender, will have a lot on the line July 9thagainst world light heavyweight title challengerSullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KOS),including world title fight implications and, ultimately, his boxing legacy,
Zurdo vs. Barrera, presented by Golden Boy Promotions, will be streamed exclusively on DAZN, live from Banc of California Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Football Club (pro soccer), located in downtown Los Angeles.
To get a world light heavyweight title shot against any of the reigning champions – WBC & IBF Artur Beterbiev (16-0 (16 KOS), WBA Super Dmitry Bivol (18-0, 11 KOS) or WBOJoe Smith (27-3, 21 KOS) – Barrera stands in Ramirez’ way in the 12-roundZurdo vs. Barrera main event. Ramirez is ranked No. 3 by the WBA and WBO, samt nr. 5 af IBF.
“That’s what the fans want but I’m not sure if these fighters are ready for me,” Ramirez boldly said about Beterbiev, Bivol and Smith. “I wasn’t impressed by any of the three in their recent bouts. They can run as much as they want, but they can’t hide forever. I know I’m the best in the division and, sooner or later, I will be snatching each of the belts and taking their souls one by one.”
Ramirez, der for nylig vendte 30 (Juni 19), was the first Mexican fighter to capture a world super middleweight title, which he relinquished in 2019 to move up to the light heavyweight division, in which he is 2-0 (2 KOS) having defeatedTommy Karpency(29-6-1) og Alphonso Lopez (32-3) last December to capture the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) krone.
A decorated Cuban amateur boxer (285-27 rekord), 39-year-old Barrera defeated future pro world champions such asChad Dawson, Shumenov Beibu og Mariano Natalio Carreraprior to defecting from Cuba to Miami and turning pro.
Barrera, fighting out of Cuba by way of Miami, er 3-3 vs. past or present world champions with victories againstJeff Lacy (WTKO4), Karo Murat (WKO12) ogFelix Valera (WDEC10), losing to Bivol (TKO12), Smith (DEC10), and Hall of FamerAndre Ward (December 12).
“I always expect the best from my opponents,” Ramirez noted. “Barrera is a professional and I know he will be ready when the lights are on. He displayed that he’s a strong fighter when he beat and broke Joe Smith, Jr.’s jaw in their bout. A victory for Barrera can resurge his career and alter my path; så, I prepare for the best version of Barrera, and I will not let anything deter my goals.

NEW YORK (Juli 28, 2020) – Surging middleweight contender Christopher Pearson is ready for a breakthrough performance against any of the top names at 160 eller 168 divisions.
Pearson of Trotwood, Ohio, is managed by Split-T Management, and he recently moved to San Antonio, Texas, har en registrering af 17-2, and is riding a three-fight winning streak which includes a win over former Olympic Bronze Medal winner and undefeated Yamaguchi Falcao.
Pearson, who trains in Los Angeles under world-championship trainer Manny Robles, has already begun preparations for his next assignment.
“I started training down here in San Antonio at Jesse James Leija’s gym. I just moved down here, and it took a minute to find a gym, but once the gym opened, this is a great place to be. I will go to Los Angeles on July 30th and start with Manny,” said Pearson.
Pearson, who began his career with 13 sejre i træk, feels that he is a stern challenge for anybody at middleweight or super middleweight.
“I am looking to fight the best in those two divisions,and solidify myself as the best in the sport. I feel that that the 2nd half of my career is proving that I am the best.”
The Falcao fight proved that Pearson can fight anyone in those divisions, and despite getting a late call for the fight, he performed at a high-level to come home with the emphatic unanimous decision victory.
“I took that fight on four weeks notice. I am not short on confidence, and I know what I am capable of doing.
Recently Pearson had his named mentioned for a showdown with Canelo Alvarez, and he believes that Canelo’s handlers were not too keen in a fight with the 29 year-old Pearson.
“I know that I am one of four or five guys from Golden Boy Promotions that was offered that fight. Out of all of those guys, they must of looked at me as a high-risk, low-reward fight. Fighting me is dangerous. They know me, because I have sparred with him, and he knows what I am capable of.”
“Canelo is a counter-puncher, but he is not better then me in the department. He has more power, but he is not as capable as me. Når vi kommer i ringen, anything can happen..especially at 168 pounds.”
“Another fight that I would like to get is with Jaime Munguia. He is at 160 pounds now. I can outclass him. I don’t see anything special about him. If it takes beating other fighters like David Lemieux or Taureano Johnson to get those fights, then bring them on. Right now I am ready to take on anyone.”

Jared Shaw administrerede Heavyweight, som for nylig blev indgået en salgsfremmende aftale med Golden Boy Promotions
Los Angeles, F.EKS. (November 8, 2018) – I en tid, hvor sværvægtsboksning igen er en hed division. Spørgsmålet er stadig stillet, hvem bliver den næste Mike Tyson-agtige knockout-kunstner? Eller har sportsgrene som fodbold og basketball taget de bedste store mænd væk fra boksning?
Indtast James “The Beast” Wilson.
Wilson har alle de ovennævnte egenskabers egenskaber. En fantastisk atlet, som var i en NFL træningslejr med en baggrund i kampe, der viser voldsom kraft.
Wilson, der netop har skrevet under med Golden Boy Promotions, har en registrering af 8-0 med syv knockouts, men hans historie begynder forfra 20 år siden i Los Angeles gader.
Wilson gik igennem hårde tider og var hjemløs mellem alderen af 13 og 15, hvor han sov på moteller, park bænke, og brusebad i de parker. Wilson havde et rids med loven, og det ændrede hans liv….for det bedste.
“Jeg blev spærret inde og derefter placeret i en gruppe. Det fik mig faktisk til at have struktur og placerede mig på rette vej. Jeg klarede mig godt i skolen og begyndte at dyrke sport, og nu havde jeg positive muligheder i mit liv,” sagde Wilson.
Wilson blev Los Angeles Times High School Football Player of the Year, samt en tre gange all-city Track & Feltatlet, hvilket gav ham et stipendium til Concord University i West Virginia.
Wilson, som er uddannet i sociologi, fortsatte derefter med at spille professionel fodbold alle steder, Polen.
Derefter fik han en invitation til træningslejr med Chicago Bears. Men han valgte at følge en anden atletisk passion.
“Jeg begyndte at lave Kenpo-Karate, Muay-Thai og kickboksning.” Wilson havde en professionel kickboxing rekord af 16-2-1 hvor han konkurrerede i toporganisationer som K-1 og Glory.
Efter det, Wilson forsøgte sig med MMA og opnåede en imponerende 5-2 rekord og kæmpede om de højt respekterede Bellator Fighting Championships.
Stadig ikke tilfreds, Wilson begyndte at bokse.
Wilson rejste igen jorden rundt og begyndte sin punching for lønkarriere i New Zealand.
“Jeg kendte en promotor i New Zealand, og jeg var i stand til at kæmpe hver uge der. Det fremskyndede min proces og udvikling. Jeg kom tilbage til Los Angeles, og var i stand til at få yderligere fire sejre.”
På 7-0, Wilson mødte derefter mangeårig bokseindustrispiller, Jared Shaw.
Shaw så videoer af Wilson på sin Instagram-konto, og nåede ud til den ubesejrede sværvægter.
“Jared kontaktede mig, og mødtes i fitnesscentret, og han havde det samme syn for mig, som jeg havde, og resten er historie.”
“Jeg så James som en diamant i roughen,” sagde Shaw. “Han har den kombination og hurtighed og kraft, som man ikke ser i sværvægtsdivisionen. Det har han “det” faktor, som jeg så med Kimbo Slice. Jeg var så heldig at have meldt Kimbo fra de kampe, der blev set på Youtube. Da Kimbo kom ind i et værelse, du følte nærvær og energi. Jeg ser mange af de samme kvaliteter i forhold til, at James er den type attraktion. Enhver, der forveksler James med en fodboldspiller eller en Mixed Martial Artist, vil helt sikkert have hænderne fulde i bokseringen. Dette er en blue-chip atlet, ” sagde Shaw, der voksede op i sporten som hans far Gary Shaw, har været en af de bedste promotorer i verden i de sidste tre årtier.
Shaws første job var at få James med den rigtige træner. Indtast Justin Fortune.
“Jeg har kendt Justin i lang tid. Både som styrke- og konditionstræner og som træner. De fleste ville kende ham ved siden af Manny Pacquiao, men måske ved de fleste ikke, at Justin var en sværvægter, der kæmpede mod Lennox Lewis. Det, jeg bedst kan lide ved denne parring, er, at Justin også var en kortere sværvægter, men en kraftig puncher. Hans mange års erfaring er det, der vil hjælpe James med at accelerere hans vækst i sporten. Som et hold, vi har et mål om at bringe et verdensmesterskab tilbage til Los Angeles og rettidigt,” fortsatte Shaw.
Shaws næste træk var at finde den rigtige promotor for Wilson at skrive under med, og duoen fandt en af de største virksomheder i verden, der var interesseret.
“Mange promotorer kiggede på mig. Jeg mødtes med Golden Boy, og de så mit talent og vision, og jeg føler, at de vil få det til at ske for mig, og tag mig til verdens sværvægtsmesterskab,” sagde Wilson.
Shaw talte meget om ægteskabet mellem fighter og promotor.
“Det er den perfekte situation. Golden Boy Promotions er en af de førende inden for vores sport, når det kommer til promotionvirksomheder. I denne situation, det viste sig, at du har en stor udsigt fra Los Angeles, der kæmper fra et verdenskendt firma baseret i Los Angeles. Lige nu er Golden Boy i toppen af sporten. De promoverer uden tvivl den bedste fighter i verden i Canelo Alvarez, og de var i stand til at sikre ham en hidtil uset aftale med DAZN. Vi ser frem til de muligheder, der vil komme for James, og for at fremvise James’ ekstraordinære færdigheder. jeg har 100% tillid til Oscar (De La Hoya), Eric (Gomez) og Robert (Diaz) at føre James til verdens sværvægtsmesterskab, og hjælpe med at maksimere hans indtjeningspotentiale. Los Angeles har aldrig haft en sværvægtsmester, så det giver god mening, at den første vil være med et komplet Los Angeles-baseret team med James, Justin, Golden Boy og mig selv. ”
“Det, jeg gerne vil have, at folk skal vide om James, er det inde i rebene, han er en Beast and Human Highlight Film, så Blink ikke. Men uden for ringen, han er en utrolig far for sine tre drenge. En fantastisk motiverende foredragsholder, og en positiv rollemodel for indre byer og resten af verden. Han er stor på fællesskab og hjælper de unge. Især dem, der bliver mobbet.”
Wilson taler til mange unge om Anti-mobning. “Jeg holder en masse taler og seminarer for anti-mobning. Jeg går på mange skoler og plejehjem og fortæller dem min historie. Jeg tror, jeg kan være en for børn at se op til og lade dem vide, at de har en fremtid, uanset hvilken situation de befinder sig i. Jeg fortæller børn, at dine hænder er våben, din mund er et våben, og det eneste sted at slås er inde i en ring.”
Når han bliver spurgt, hvem han vil kæmpe, og hvad hans mål er i sporten, sagde Wilson, “Jeg ønsker ikke at bekæmpe nogen specifikt, Jeg søger at bekæmpe dem alle. Mest vigtigt, Jeg er her for at give fansene noget at se. Det er 365 dage af “Dyr” årstid. Det er Beast Mode eller No Mode.”

The resumes of Liddell and Ortiz speak for themselves as both fought the most important fighters of their era. The two first fought in the UFC cage in 2004 after months of trash talk in which Liddell said he always dominated Ortiz in sparring during their past training sessions together. Liddell won the fight in spectacular fashion via KO, but the grudge was far from over. I 2006 the two faced off again with Ortiz vowing he would even the score. Ortiz fared much better in the second encounter but again succumbed to Liddell via referee stoppage TKO.
Tito Ortiz returns to the cage after a submission win over Chael Sonnen back in January 2017 to fight for redemption against his longtime rival Chuck Liddell. Liddell, coming out of retirement, is fighting to make it a perfect 3-0 over the “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” and to close the door on a feud that has spanned more than a decade. With a rivalry this intense and emotions still running high, this trilogy fight has fighters and fans from multiple generations excited to see the final chapter of one of the biggest rivalries of all time!
