BILOXI, MS. (Aprili 11, 2019) – Former super welterweight champion Austin “Hakuna Mashaka” Trout returns to the ring to take on former title challenger Terrell Gausha in a 10-round super welterweight bout that headlines Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes on Saturday, Mei 25 from Beau Rivage Resort Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Katika ushirikiano kipengele, unbeaten super welterweight contenderChordale Booker battles rugged veteranWale OMOTOSO in a 10-round bout, while sensational unbeaten welterweight prospectEimantas Stanionis will open the broadcast at 8 p.m. NA / 5 p.m. PT in an eight or 10-round welterweight fight.

Tiketi kwa ajili ya tukio, ambayo ni kukuzwa na TGB Promotions, go on sale Monday, Aprili 15 and can be purchased at the Beau Rivage Theatre box office and through Ticketmaster.

Austin Trout has one of the best resumes at super welterweight in the sport today,” said Tom Brown, President of TGB Promotions. “He’s been in the ring with some of the best boxers at 154-pounds of this generation and I’ve never seen him in a bad fight. Terrell Gausha doesn’t back down from anyone and that will make for an exciting match against Trout. Chordale Booker will be putting his unbeaten record on the line against Wale Omotoso in what will be one of his toughest tests to date. It’s a show that has something for everyone that attends at Beau Rivage or tunes in to FS1 and FOX Deportes.

Trout (31-5, 17 Kos) has tangled with some of the top super welterweights of this generation, including Saul Alvarez, Erislandy Lara, Miguel Cotto, Jermell and Jermall Charlo and Jarrett Hurd. The 33-year-old from Las Cruces, Mexico, will look to rebound from a majority decision defeat to Jermell Charlo last June. His knockout victory over Joey Hernandez in 2015 headlined the first PBC show on FS1.

I’m excited to be back in the ring,” Alisema Trout. “I’m ready to take another chop at the world title and this is my way back. I’m really motivated to get that championship belt again. Gausha is a strong, technical fighter with an Olympic pedigree. I’ve got to get in there and take care of him and look good doing it. A good win over him will get me right back in the mix.

The 31-year-old Gausha (21-1, 10 Kos), a member of the 2012 U.S. Olympic boxing team from Cleveland, Ohio, will look to put himself back into title contention with a victory over Trout. He came up short in his first title fight against Erislandy Lara, losing a unanimous decision in 2017, before rebounding with a knockout victory over Joey Hernandez in his last fight in December.

I feel good about this fight and I think it’s the perfect fight for me,” said Gausha. “With Austin Trout being a former champion and having experience fighting all the top guys in the division, it gives me a chance to show where I’m at. It’s not only about winning, but it’s the way I’ll win that will put people on notice.

Booker (14-0, 7 Kos) is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Juan De Angel in January on FS1. The 27-year-old southpaw from Stamford, Conn., was busy in 2018, kwenda 5-0 na knockouts tatu. Booker is very active in his Stamford community as well, running his charity for at-risk youth and training amateurs for the Golden Gloves.

My expectations for myself are to put on the best performance I’ve had in boxing periodamateur or pro,” said Booker. “I’m looking to showcase every ability that I have, not just brute strength. I want to show people that I’m championship caliber. What I see from him is that he’s a game fighter and comes to fight. He likes to come forward. He’s going to try to take it to me. But I can do a lot of things, box going forward, backwards, sideways, or anything it will take to get this win.

The 33-year-old Omotoso (27-3, 21 Kos) is a hard-nosed veteran who will present Booker with his toughest test to date. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Omotoso learned to fight in the streets before honing his skills in the boxing gym. He calls himself “Bahati Boy” because he feels fortunate to have made it off the streets alive and become a successful professional boxer. Now training in Los Angeles, Omotoso most recently defeated Freddy Hernandez in December 2017.

I got the call to fight a young, undefeated fighter in Booker and I said bring it on,” said Omotoso. “I’m really happy he took the fight because most people say I’m too dangerous and too tough. I will give it all I got. When I go to the ring I put all my effort and training into the fight. That’s the way this sport is. I know he’s going to come in with all he’s got, but the toughest man will win.

Stanionis (8-0, 5 Kos) is from Kaunas, Lithuania and was a member of the 2016 Lithuanian Olympic boxing team. The 24-year-old, who now lives in Oxnard, California, and trains with Ronnie Shields in Texas, is on the fast track toward being a top contender. He’s continued to impress with victories over durable veterans Levan Ghvamichava and Samuel Figueroa in his last two bouts.

BILOXI, Miss. (Aprili 6, 2019) – Former UFC veteran Artem Lobov defeated former UFC veteran and Mississippi native Jason Knight na uamuzi wa pamoja (48-47 X 2, 48-46) to win the main event of “BKFC 5: Lobov vs. Knight” in a Fight of The Year candidate on Saturday night at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Miss. and live on pay-per-view.

Knight started off fast, knocking down Lobov just 10 seconds in to round one. Hata hivyo, Lobov quickly popped up and came back to knock down Knight later in the first frame, again in round two, and for a third time in round three. The fourth and fifth stanzas showcased furious exchanges with both fighters leaving every ounce of themselves in the ring.

I thought he was conquered many times,” said Lobov. “I dropped him three or four times. Yeye ni mgumu, tough kid. He kept coming and coming. That was a great fight.

We all know that I didn’t lose that fight,” said Knight. “We all know that I got robbed. It’s alright, I’m still going to party tonight.

The co-main event featured former UFC veteran Chris Leben quickly overwhelming former Bellator standout Justin Baesman with a devastating left hand, followed by a series of uppercuts that stopped Baesman just :25 in to the light heavyweight contest.

Christine Ferea scored a technical stoppage win over Uingereza Hart for the Police Gazette American Women’s Featherweight Bare Knuckle Championship. Ferea had Hart in trouble midway through the second round as referee Dan Miragliotta called for time to have Hart’s severely bloodied and bruised left eye checked. The ringside physician stopped the contest moments later at 1:09 in to the second round.

I’m the first woman to ever have this belt,” said Ferea. “I’m going to rep it strong and I’m super happy right now. The first round I was feeling (Hart) out. I was watching some of her footage and she can do it all. Hivyo, I just felt out the first round, touching her with the jab. And then the second round that’s when I went in and let my power go.

I would love (a fight against Bec Rawlings)!” added Ferea. “I’ve been asking for a fight with her for three fights. Nadhani stahili.”

Former BKFC heavyweight title challenger Sam Shewmaker and former UFC veteran Chase Sherman fought to a split draw (50-45 Sherman, 48-47 Shewmaker, 48-48) in a crowd-pleasing heavyweight attraction that featured spirited exchanges all the way until the final bell of the fifth round.

One BKFC lightweight tournament semi-final matchup saw Reggie Barnett kushindwa Rusty Crowder na uamuzi wa pamoja (50-44 X 3). An extremely evasive Crowder was deducted one point in the fourth round for throwing Barnett to the canvas as Barnett cruised to the victory by a wide margin.

After his win, Barnett said, “Everybody expected me and Bedford to be fighting in the championship. Johnny comes to fight. Mimi kuja kupigana. Hivyo, you’re going to see nothing but fireworks and I personally think it’s a main event-caliber championship fight.

In the other BKFC lightweight tournament semi-final contest Johnny Bedfordkusimamishwa Abdiel Velazquez :58 in to round four. Bedford scored two knockdowns in the second round, a third in the third frame and sent Velazquez to the canvas for the fourth and final time in round four, with Velazquez electing to not get back up and continue.

Before Barnett and Crowder fought, Bedford prophesied, “I anticipate I’m going to fight Reggie Barnett in the finals. I thought that from the beginning. I think Reggie knew that from the very beginning. And I think Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship knew that from the very beginning by putting us on opposite ends of the bracket. I think it doesn’t matter who you name the number one and number two seeds, we are the two top dogs in this division.

With Barnett and Bedford winning their respective BKFC lightweight tournament semi-final bouts they will now face each other in the finals for a chance at BKFC’s first lightweight championship title.

Katika hatua undercard, former UFC fighter Isaac Vallie-Flag scored a technical knockout victory over Randy Hedderick in a 165-pound showdown. Vallie-Flagg recorded two knockdowns in the third round and forced Hedderick to quit 1:22 in to round three due to an injured left hand.

The swing bout saw Gulfport police officer Harris Stephenson kushindwa Khalib Harris na uamuzi kupasuliwa (50-47 Stephenson, 48-47 Harris, 49-46 Stephenson).

NEW YORK (Aprili 2, 2019) – Mashindano ya Mapigano ya Knuckle Bare (BKFC) hosted a media event in New York Tuesday as recent BKFC signee and former two-division boxing champion Paulie Malignaggi and former UFC standout and Conor McGregor stablemate Artem Lobov had a heated exchange and had to be separated in anticipation of a possible showdown between the two later this year.

Lobov is preparing to take on Jason Knight katika tukio kuu ya “BKFC 5: Lobov vs. Knight” this Saturday from the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi and live on pay-per-view. If he is successful on Saturday night, a highly-anticipated showdown against Malignaggi looms.

“BKFC 5: Lobov vs. Knight” will be broadcast across the United States and Canada, exclusively on pay-per-view through MultiVision Media, Inc, on all major television distribution outlets for $29.95. It will also be available worldwide via stream to all in-home and out-of-home connected devices at FITE-TV and www.bareknuckle.tv.

Tiketi kwa ajili ya “BKFC 5: Lobov vs. Knight” are available now exclusively at www.bareknuckle.tv kuanzia saa $35.

Here is what the fighters had to say Tuesday from Mendez Boxing in Manhattan:

Paulie MALIGNAGGI

Without disrespecting Jason Knight, because we’ll see what happens Saturday, but I think everyone here would like to see Malignaggi vs. Lobov. I see that it’s picking up traction and fans in general are talking about it.

When I get Lobov in the ring, the goal is not just to win. I have to really excel and show something more. The goal would be to hurt him bad.

Being in the gym every day gets me excited. In that way, I feel mentally reborn. I’m sure there will be tough days, but that’s par for the course. I think mentally you can find motivation that will spur you on to chase certain goals.

I started talking to David Feldman first about being involved on the broadcast aspect of BKFC. But then he threw out numbers for me to fight that got my attention. Once we got past that first part of the conversation, things started moving along and here we are.

There’s always adjustments to be made in a new discipline as far as how you’re going to throw and receive punches. We’re going to make small adjustments, but your base is your base. My base is boxing and we’re going to keep the things we want to keep.

I’ve watched some of the bare knuckle fights and there are some fundamental differences. There are some things that boxers can take advantage of. But there are also some aspects that boxers might not be used to in bare knuckle.

ARTEM LOBOV

I’m a real fighter and I’m going to fight Paulie in a real fight. I want to make money for it. He knows I’m down. If you’re a real fighter, let’s fight in the ring.

Let’s be honest, Paulie doesn’t want to fight me on the street, because he knows I’d tear him apart in seconds. But I want to prove myself in the boxing ring. That’s why I’m doing this. I want Paulie safe until the day I can finally put my hands on him.

This is the only chance he has to get a shot in on me. When we do get to fight, he won’t get a hand on me, I guarantee that.

I’m here to fight on Saturday night. I’m a true fighter. No one will ever make me quit. I don’t care about anything that Paulie can do to me.

Paulie was always the fight I wanted. It’s ‘night nightfor Jason Knight this Saturday, then it’s on to Paulie. That’s the only fight I want. He deserves to get slapped around.

Jason Knight was a top UFC fighter at one point. He’s a very tough opponent, but his strength was mixing disciplines. Just boxing me, he doesn’t have a chance.

I love the bare knuckle training. This is my game. I love the stand-up fighting. My approach is that if you want to be a good boxer, you have to box a lot. I went into all of the best gyms in Ireland and got great sparring.

BILOXI, MS (Agosti 25, 2018) – “Malkia wa Bare Knuckle” Bec Rawlings kushindwa Uingereza Hart na uamuzi kupasuliwa (50-45, 49-45, 48-47) kama Mashindano ya Mapigano ya Knuckle Bare (BKFC) alirudi Jumamosi na “BKFC 2: Enzi Mpya” kutoka Coliseum ya Pwani ya Mississippi huko Biloxi, Mississippi na kuishi kwa mtazamo wa kulipia.

 

 

 

“Sidhani kama ulikuwa uamuzi wa mgawanyiko,” Alisema Rawlings. “Nilipojiandikisha kupigania BKFC walitutumia sheria na wakasema huwezi kumkimbia mpinzani wako. Unapaswa kujishughulisha. Una toe mstari. Hapo ndipo wanataka hatua ifanyike na utapoteza pointi usipotii sheria hizo. Hivyo, Hakika mimi ndiye niliyesukuma mwendo usiku wa leo. Nilikuwa katikati wakati wote na nilipiga risasi ngumu zaidi.”

 

 

 

Baada ya ushindi wake dhidi ya Alma Garcia katika BKFC 1, Rawlings alituzwa Gazeti la Kitaifa la Polisi kwa mkanda wa ndondi usio na kitu kwa wanawake. Pamoja na ushindi Jumamosi, Rawlings alihifadhi jina lake.

 

 

 

“Kunyakua taji langu la kifundo na sasa kulitetea imekuwa heshima kubwa,” aliongeza Rawlings. “Nilipoingia kwenye kifundo cha mguu mara ya kwanza sikujua historia na kila kitu. Nilifikiria tu ilikuwa njia mpya na ya kufurahisha ya kujijaribu. Kisha nikapata mkanda huu baada ya ushindi wangu kwenye onyesho la kwanza na nikagundua ni mpango gani mkubwa huu.”

 

 

 

Rawlings alihitimisha, “Nina afya nashukuru. Mikono yangu kwa kweli ilikuwa imevimba zaidi baada ya pambano langu la kwanza la kupiga magoti. Labda nitakuwa vizuri kwenda tena mnamo Desemba, lakini mimi ni bingwa na niko hapa kupigana na yeyote wanayemweka mbele yangu.”

 

 

 

Pambano la kwanza kati ya pambano la nusu fainali la uzani wa juu lilishuhudia ubadilishanaji wa kishindo kama vile Arnold Adams kusimamishwa Joey Beltran :09 kwenye sura ya tano. Adams mtulivu sana na aliyekusanywa alidhibiti hatua nyingi.

 

 

 

“Nilijua ningepata ushindi. Sikuwa na wasiwasi sana kuhusu Beltran, amekuwa na vita vingi,” ulisema Adams. “Sidhani kama ana hii ndani yake tena, lakini ana moyo na alionyesha usiku wa leo kwamba anataka kushindana. Nina njaa ingawa, amekuwa juu na kushindana kwenye maonyesho makubwa. Bado sijafika kabisa, lakini huu ni wakati wangu na nitaushika wakati huo.”

 

 

 

Katika ufunguzi pande zote, Adams alimkata Beltran juu ya jicho lake la kushoto. Kama mwisho wa mzunguko wa nne unakaribia, Adams alipata pigo lingine baya ambalo lilifungua zaidi kata, kumlazimisha daktari wa pembeni kusitisha mapigano.

 

 

 

“Nilimkata kwenye raundi ya kwanza, lakini lile jabu la mwisho lililomkata niliona damu ikimwagika karibu na jicho lake,” aliongeza Adams. “Kama papa, Nilimfungia ndani. Nilikuwa nalamba midomo yangu, macho yangu yakawa makubwa na nilifanya nilichohitaji kupata ushindi.”

 

 

 

Katika nusu fainali ya pili ya uzani wa juu, Sam Shewmaker kushindwa Maurice Jackson na uamuzi kupasuliwa (49-45, 48-45, 48-46).

 

 

 

“Nilikuwa najaribu kuingia ndani na kwenda kazini, lakini alitaka tu kuendelea kunifunga,” Alisema Shewmaker. “Mtindo wake ulinizuia sana kutumia mpango wangu wa mchezo. Kila nilipokuwa nikiingia ndani alinishika. Ilikuwa inakatisha tamaa sana. Na ni vigumu kufanya kazi kwa mbali na mtu ambaye ni mrefu sana.”

 

 

 

Jackson alifanikiwa kupiga picha safi, akimshika Shewmaker kwa ndoano ya kushoto iliyomwangusha katika raundi ya pili.

 

 

 

“Alinipata kwa risasi nzuri, aina moja ya nyuma ya kichwa changu ambayo iliniangusha, lakini niliibuka tena na kuendelea kupigana,” aliongeza Shewmaker. “Kugonga hakunisumbua sana, tu knocked me kidogo off usawa. Nilijisikia vizuri muda mfupi baadaye.”

 

 

 

Ushindi wa Adams na Shewmaker ulifanikisha fainali ya mchujo wa uzito wa juu huku wawili hao wakitarajiwa kumenyana BKFC. 3.

 

 

 

“Ni wakati wa kuifungua,” ulisema Adams. “Sam Shewmaker ana nguvu katika mikono yote miwili, lakini niko tayari kwa mtu yeyote.”

 

 

 

“Ninatarajia fataki nitakapokabiliana na Adams,” Alisema Shewmaker. “Ana jab nzuri, lakini nina jab nzuri pia na napenda kupiga. Hivyo, inapaswa kufanya mechi kubwa katika fainali.”
