Seconds Out Promotions Signs Light Heavyweight Powerhouse Marcus Oliveira to a Promotional Agreement

Ħalli kumment

Tony Grygelko of Minneapolis-based Seconds Out Promotions proudly announces the signing of hard-punching former world-title challenger Marcus Oliveira to a promotional contract.

 

From Menominee, Wisconsin, and of Menominee Nation, native, heritage, 36-year-old Oliveira (25-1-1, 20 Kos) is also a former NABF and WBA Fedebol Light Heavyweight Champion.

The promotional agreement is a reunion of sorts, as Grygelko was Oliveira’s promoter for much of his early professional career.

 

“I used to promote Marcus, prior to him signing with Don King, and it’s truly an honor to be able to promote him again and help position him for another world title shot,” said Tony Grygelko. “It seems that with his previous promoter not actively seeking fights, and his loss to Jurgen Brähmer, that Marcus has been written off, but the truth is he is extremely focused and has a burning desire to show all his fans that he has the talent to win a World Championship! He plans to shake off some ring rust off with a couple fights and then he’ll be looking to go after some of the big names in the division, such as Andrezj Fonfara, Sergey Kovalev, Bernard Hopkins, and a rematch with Brähmer.”

 

Oliveira, who was a heavily decorated amateur boxer before turning pro in 2006, said he feels his career had been stalled by an agreement he signed with another promoter. He says he happy to now be free of that contract and back to working with someone he trusts.

 

“I was looking for someone who could get me to the next level in my career and Tony has already done that for quite a few guys, so it was an easy decision,” said Oliveira. “He’s always straight-up with me and treats me well. I have a great relationship with him. I’m very happy about this new direction.”

 

“We’re very excited to be back working with Tony,” said Oliveira’s Manager, Douglas Ward from the Underground Boxing Company. “It’s good to be working with a promoter that has our same set of goals.”

 

Oliveira joins a Seconds Out stable that also includes Carson Jones and recent world-title challenger Caleb Truax.

DAVID LEMIEUX, Middleweight Contender

 

“I have put in the work. What you saw in Brooklyn was only 50 percent of what I can do and I feel like I can be a lot better. I want to show that in my next fight.

 

“I fear no man, I want to go after the top of the food chain. Oscar and Bernard came up fighting the best and I am of the same mind.

 

“Canelo is a younger, hungrier fighter. He is explosive. He is a tough fighter and it would be a good match up.

 

“Everyone is on the list. Irrid għall-ġlieda kontra l-aħjar.

 

“The reason I started so young was because I was a trouble maker. I was fighting in the streets. My neighbor was a boxer and he told me to come fight real fighters. I got my ass kicked a few times but I fell in love with it.

 

“We want to make a good run at 160 and then think about moving up in weight.

 

“I have always liked power punchers and I respect others’ styles and other champions, but I never mimic them.”

 

OSCAR DE LA HOYA, Fundatur u President tal-Promozzjonijiet Boy Golden

 

“We are exploring every option. We can go to Montreal, we can go back to New York City, we can come to Las Vegas; that’s the beauty of David. He can fight anywhere and people will come out to watch him.

 

“He’s still growing. We haven’t seen his full potential which is very exciting. He has explosiveness and power.

 

“We will be working hand and hand with Eye of the Tiger Management. We are partners and we want the best fights, the best deals. We will be working together in the best interest for David.

 

“A future fight with Canelo is possible. Canelo wants to fight the best. Lemieux wants to fight the best. For now we want to focus on 160-pounds weight class and on Cotto, Andy lee and Golovkin.”

 

BERNARD HOPKINS, Futur Hall ta 'Famer u l-Promozzjonijiet Boy Golden Msieħba

 

“We got this guy [Lemieux], he is tough. I know Gabriel Rosado and he handled him easily. I know what I am looking at. I have an eye for talent and he has it.

 

“We are going to continue and show you that we will put on the best fights and give the fans quality. I’m in it to make the best fights. The ratings speak for themselves. The fans speak for themselves. Judge us by the quality of the matches you see and don’t get caught up in the ‘feelings’ of it.

 

“I want to put a call out to everyone, that is how Oscar was brought up, that is how I was brought up, fighting the best.

 

“Three things about David: wieħed, he signed with Golden Boy Promotions; tnejn, he has talent in many ways, not only is he a fan favorite he is a good defensive fighter; three, he has good looks.

 

“I am seeing now the molding of another legacy, his legacy. But at the end of the day he has an opportunity in the middle weight division, I am glad to be here with a middleweight who I feel already has a lot of respect.

 

CAMILLE ESTEPHAN, President of Eye of the Tiger Management

 

“Canelo is on the list. Cotto is on the list. Golovkin is on the list. Andy Lee is on the list. Everyone is on the list.

 

“I definitely think he is the most popular boxer, the numbers prove it. He has a lot of potential and the sky is the limit.

 

“I got a call yesterday from someone in the boxing world about how exciting it is to be working with Golden Boy and he said ‘David is like a sunshine that beams on the world of boxing’ and it is very heartwarming. It’s heartwarming to sit down with Oscar, Bernard and Eric, whom I have gotten to know very well since the Rosado fight. This is great group of people and I think that we can build something together that will make a huge impact in the boxing world.

 

“David is the one guy, that as soon as I saw him the first time in the gym, the first sit-up he did and the last sit-up he did were exactly the same, he doesn’t cheat. He has the ultimate confidence because he doesn’t cheat himself and I have the ultimate respect for him. I am very proud of him as a person.

 

ERIC GOMEZ, Viċi President Anzjan tal-Promozzjonijiet Boy Golden

 

“After the Rosado fight, Lemieux was impressive and we began talks with Camille. People love David and it made sense. David has an exciting style.

 

“We are looking at HBO, the ratings against Rosado were some of the best all year. They are very excited about David.”

Hopkins’ ma tama li tħalli wirt lil hinn mill-isport tal-boxing, speċifikament bħala pilastru tas-saħħa u fitness għall-komunità Amerikani-Afrikani u l-folla over-40. Iż-żewġ ta Hopkins’ ġenituri ħalliena qabel l-età ta ' 50, minħabba kumplikazzjonijiet tad-dijabete u mard tal-qalb. Dan wassal lill-Champ fuq kruċjata tiegħu għall-għajxien nadif li tagħtih sodisfazzjon fl-ikel organiku li hu koki nnifsu.

 

“Aħna jgħix darba biss u korpi tagħna huma tempji tagħna. I am not se jieklu xi ħaġa li mhix tajba għall-sistema tiegħi,” Said Hopkins. “I fjuwil myself ma 'ikel jipproduċu l-enerġija. Mingħajr dan il-vizzju kuljum korp tiegħi kien mogħti up fuqi żmien twil ilu.”

 

Hopkins wkoll twila ġġieldu għal-drittijiet ta 'boxers sħabu. Famużament tattesta quddiem il-Kungress b'appoġġ tal-att Muhammad Ali. Fl 2014, Hopkins deher fil-bini Istati Uniti Capitol biex jgħinu jgħollu l-profil ta 'l-Lou Ruvo Center for studju komprensiv Brain Saħħa ta' boxers professjonali u l-effett isport tagħhom għandha fuq moħħ tagħhom.

 

Fl-aħħar għaxar snin, Hopkins ilha tikkontribwixxi għall-isport bħala promotur. Peress tiegħu 2005 middleweight unifikazzjoni titolu bout ma Oscar De La Hoya, Hopkins u “Il-Golden Boy” ffurmaw sħubija ma Hopkins tkun proprjetarja ta 'persentaġġ ta' Promozzjonijiet Boy Golden u jgħinu jippromwovu tissielet tagħhom madwar il-pajjiż.

 

Fuq Jannar 20, Golden Boy se unur Hopkins’ 50th birthday with a special edition of Golden Boy Live! fuq Fox Sports 1 u Fox Deportes jgħixu mill- 2300 Arena fl Hopkins’ Hometown ta 'Philadelphia.

Jekk inti jammiraw lilu għall-ħidma tiegħu ġewwa l-ċirku, jew il-mod jgħix ħajtu barra, wieħed ma jistax jiċħad li Hopkins huwa wieħed ta-a-kind. Meta hu eventwalment tħalli l-isport se jkun bittersweet, kif hu darba qal:

 

“Jgawdu din filwaqt li inti tista '. Ma joqogħdu jinkwetaw dwar meta jew kif jien ser jitilqu jew tkisser. You guys huma bnedmin kollha, Nifhem li inti, imma inti ma jifhmux lili.”
