Nutley, NJ (Μάρτιος 3, 2016) – Αυτό το βράδυ του Σαββάτου κατά το Sands Bethlehem Events Center, αήττητο Middleweight Antoine Ντάγκλας (19-0-1, 13 KO του) will face the toughest test of his career when he takes on rugged Avtandil Khurtsidze in the co-feature bout of a SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION®.

This fight is the continuing process of Douglas’ promoter GH3 Promotions, which has groomed the Washington, D.C. native from his first professional bout.

Douglas set the model for what GH3 Promotions is all about and that is grass roots developing.

“I am so proud of Antoine and the job he has done,”είπε ο CEO της GH3 Promotions Vito Mielnicki. “When I started this company, I wanted to sign very good fighters with solid amateur backgrounds. Antoine was the someone I coveted and I saw this vision for him and now the fight on Saturday is the perfect next step for him. Όταν κερδίζει Σάββατο and I feel he will be ready for a big opportunity.”

Mielnicki continued, “That’s the blueprint. Develop fighters on my local shows. Fighters like Antoine and now Αδάμ Lopez (15-0, 7 KO του) graduated to ShoBox main event status and then to the next level. Είχαμε John Thompson (17-2, 6 KO’s fight for a world title, We have high aspirations for O'Shaquie Foster (10-1, 7 KO του), Τζέρι Odom (13-2-1, 12 KO του) Ρόναλντ Έλις (12-0-1, 10 KO του) , Keenan Σμιθ (9-0, 3 KO του) και Hector Frometa (2-0).”

Lopez, stayed undefeated by winning a comfortable unanimous decision over previously Mario Munoz on February 19th in Atlantic City that headlined a ShoBox: The New Generation card..

Odom and Ellis fought to a spirited draw in a Super Middleweight bout. On another televised bout, Foster was dominant in stopping Lavisas Williams. On the non-televised card, Hector Frometa went to 2-0 με ομόφωνη απόφαση νίκη.

“We feel that Lopez needs another fight or two against good opposition to get to where Antoine is now. Foster showed that he has a chance to be a special fighter and we love the potential of Frometa.”

“Foster is now trained by Dennis Porter & Ronald Sims, who also handle Antoine and it was evident in their first fight together the difference that they have already made on him.”

Douglas is currently ranked number-six by the WBA, number-eleven by the IBF and number-three by the WBO, while Lopez is ranked number-seven by the WBA.

“This is all a product of moving our guys fast and right and by not babying them on the way up.”
