Preceding the PPV fights, 8-10 p.m. U / 5-7 PT, four undercard bouts will be available to watch live and for free on FACEBOOK FIGHT NIGHT.
The 31-year-old Doheny takes on former International Boxing Organization (IBO world champion “Machine-Gun” Mike Oliver (26-4-1, 17 Kos) fit-tmien round, avveniment ko-dehru. A southpaw like Doheny, Oliver is a familiar figure in Boston having been a five-time New England Golden Gloves champion.
Doheny is a native of Ireland, who has lived in Australia, but he recently resettled in Boston’s predominantly Irish section of Dorchester. He is a five-time Irish National Champion who has more than 150 amateur matches, including a victory over Belfast’s Carl “Il Jackal” Frampton (26-1, 14 Kos), who is a two-division world champion as a professional fighter.
F'Diċembru li għadda, Doheny traveled to Bankok to fight Thai favorite Pipat Chaiporn (44-10-1) in a International Boxing Federation (IBF) eliminator to determine the No. 1, mandatory contender for IBF world champion Kenichi Ogawa (23-1, 17 Kos), of Japan. Doheny emerged with a win by12-round split decision (117-11, 116-112, 113-115).
Against Oliver, Doheny will be risking his undefeated record and IBF No. 1 contender rating, but Ogawa is also a veteran southpaw like Oliver, who is viewed by Murphys Boxing and Team Doheny as a good opponent to better prepare Doheny for Ojawa.
O'Connor (29-3, 11 Kos), li kien 2008 U.S. Sostitut tat-Tim Olimpiku, kif ukoll il- 2008 Nazzjonali Golden Gloves u US Future Stars champion bħala dilettanti, is coming off .a third-round knockout of previously unbeaten Daniel Gonzalez (14-0-1) for the vacant WBC Silver Intercontinental crown last November at Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut.
Calgary-native Claggett (26-4-1, 17 Kos) hit the road last October and upset previously undefeated Yves Ulysse, Jr. (14-0) in his backyard for the vacant International Boxing Federation (IBF) Titlu super ħfief fl-Amerika ta' Fuq. Neither Claggett’s IBF North American nor his NABA USA title will be at stake versus O’Connor.
Top New England prospects, “Il Assassin Silent” William Foster III (6-0, 6-0 (5 Kos) u Irvin Gonzalez, se jintwerew f’par logħbiet ta’ sitt round.
Foster, a lightweight from New Haven, CT, faces former WBC International bantamweight champion Nick “Iktbilli” Otieno (31-13, 13 Kos)., Reigning UBF All-American super featherweight champion Gonzalez, ta’ Worcester, MA, takes on a fellow unbeaten featherweight prospect, Ugandan Sulaiman Segawa (9-0, 3 Kos).
Fuq Facebook Fight Night, New England champion Greg “The Villain” Vendetta (17-2-1, 10 Kos), Stoneham, MA, vs. Engleberto Valenzuela (11-12, 3 Kos), Messiku, 6 rawnds; Welterweight russian Yurik Mamadov (6-1, 3 Kos), Brooklyn, NY, vs. Daniel Sostre (13-16-1, 5 Kos), Puerto Rico, 6 rawnds; featherweight Amanda Pavone (2-0, 1 KO), Burlington, MA vs. Sarah Ikklikkja (għall-debutt), Framingham, MA, 4 rawnds; ħfief Tomas Romain (5-1), NY vs. Iżrael Rojas (13-20, 5 Kos), Messiku, 6 rawnds.

2001 Fight of the Year Reunion planned for final stop of 2018 USA vs. Ireland Northeast Tour

Ħalli kumment
Special guests Micky Ward & Steve Smoger
Marzu 21 f'Manchester, NH
COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Marzu 12, 2018) – USA Boxing is hosting a special reunion, featuring two key members of the 2001 Ġlieda tas-Sena, to be part of the final stop on the 2018 USA vs. Irlanda Grigal Boxing Tour, Marzu 21 fil-Manchester Downtown Hotel f’Manchester, New Hampshire.

Il 2001 Fight of the Year was held July 13, 2001, at Hampton Beach Casino in Hampton, NH., and it is still considered one of the greatest matches ever broadcast on ESPN. “Irlandiż” Micky Ward won an incredibly entertaining, back-and-forth junior welterweight match-up with “boxing cult” hero Emanuel Augustus, by way of a 10-round unanimous decision that was much closer than the judges’ scoring indicated (98-90, 96-91, 96-94).
The high-profile win positioned Ward for what turned out to be his epic Gatti trilogy, while Augustus went on to become one of the most dangerous, upset-minded opponents in boxing. Ward and the third man in the ring that night, Hall of Fame referee Steve Smoger, will host a USA Alumni Association event It-Tlieta, Baħar. 20 at The Shaskeen Pub & Restaurant (909 Elm St. f'Manchester), jibda 6 p.m. U, and attend the following night’s (Baħar. 21) USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour finale in Manchester.
“I’m honored to be invited by USA Boxing to represent all professional officials who spent so much valuable time in the amateurs on their way to their positions in the pros,” Smoger said. “I’m looking forward to being part of everything planned.
“Anytime I spend time with Micky is enjoyable, u 'l barra taċ-ċirku, and we’ve truly formed a bond. I worked six or seven of his fights, including his first in Atlantic City, around the time we were both breaking in. We spend time together every year at the International Boxing Hall of Fame inductions. He’s such a pleasure to be around. He treats people very well. His history in the ring and personality make him a big fan favorite. He’s the same guy he’s always been but he still has the heart of a warrior.”
Bernard Dunne celebrating world title anniversary
Irish Team Performance Director Bernard Dunne will celebrate the ninth anniversary of his WBA super bantamweight title-winning performance, Baħar. 21, 2009, the same date as the USA-Ireland Northeaster Boxing Tour stop in Manchester.

Fl 2009, hu waqaf Ricardo Cordoba fil- 11th round at O2 Arena in Dublin, biex issir champion tad-dinja.
USA stars out in Manchester

“Ma nistgħux nistennew dan l-ispettaklu,” promotur offrut Ken Casey, ukoll il-front-man għal Dropkick Murphys. “Dan se jkun l-aqwa tagħna St. Spettaklu ta’ Jum il-Paddy’s. Danny O'Connor-Steve Claggett huwa ġlieda ta' kwalità ShoBox jew HBO Boxing After Dark. Aktar, l-ebda. 1 konkorrent dinji, T.J.

Dan huwa tassew avveniment ta’ klassi dinjija fl-aktar post divertenti f’Boston, House of Blues. Il Dropkick Murphys se jkun qed jilgħab set qabel l-avveniment prinċipali. Dan huwa spettaklu li ma tridx titlef!”
L-avveniment prinċipali ta’ 10 rounds bejn il-welterweights junior estremament aggressivi O’Connor u Claggett jidher li jkun barn-burner mill-qanpiena tal-ftuħ sat-tmiem. L-ebda ġellied ma jagħmel pass lura, lanqas qatt ma jieqfu jisparaw punches, li jagħmel għal oerhört divertenti, ma tistax titlef il-konfrontazzjoni.
“Se nagħżel lil Claggett barra,” Bassar O’Connor ta’ 32 sena. “Hemm ħafna f'riskju u għalhekk għafast għal din il-ġlieda. Stajt niġġieled kontra avversarju aktar faċli, imma ma ridtx. Se nidħol fil-livell elite tal-boxing u dan huwa pass lejn dak.”
O'Connor (29-3, 11 Kos), ġlied barra minn Framingham, MA, se tiddefendi Kunsill Dinji Boxing tiegħu (WBC) Titlu tal-welterweight tal-junior Silver International għall-ewwel darba. Il-boxer popolari kien a 2008 U.S. Sostitut tat-Tim Olimpiku, kif ukoll il- 2008 Nazzjonali Golden Gloves u US Future Stars champion bħala dilettanti.
Is-southpaw aggressiv Irlandiż-Amerikan rebaħ l-aħħar tliet ġlidiet tiegħu, inkluż knockout fit-tielet round ta’ preċedentement mhux megħluba Daniel Gonzalez (14-0-1) għaċ-ċinga vakanti tal-WBC Silver Interkontinentali f'Novembru li għadda f'Mohegan Sun Casino f'Connecticut.
“Jien kuntent li qed niġġieled id-dar quddiem is-sistema ta 'appoġġ tiegħi,” qal l-affable O’Connor. Għandi fan-base mill-aqwa u huwa motivanti li nkun naf li se nerġa' jkolli ċ-ċans li nuri t-talent tiegħi quddiemhom. Jien grat għall-appoġġ kontinwu tul il-vjaġġ tiegħi tal-boksing.”
Claggett ta’ 28 sena (26-4-1, 17 Kos) reġa’ qajmet il-karriera tiegħu minn meta ddeċieda li jerġa’ jinżel għal super ħfief tliet ġlieda ilu, rebħiet kollha,inkluż par ta’ deċiżjonijiet ta’ 10 rounds li rebħu t-titlu fuq avversarji li qabel ma kinux megħluba, Yves Ulysse, Jr. (14-0) għall-vakanti Federazzjoni Internazzjonali Boxing (IBF) Titlu super ħfief fl-Amerika ta' Fuq, kif ukoll Emmanuel Robles (15-0-1) għall-World Boxing Association vakanti (WBA) NABA USA super ħfief kuruna. L-ebda wieħed mit-titli ta’ Claggett mhu se jkun f’riskju kontra O’Connor.
“Ħafna nies huma taħt l-impressjoni li dħalt bħala avversarju B-side għal din il-partita, iżda dan ma jistax ikun aktar 'il bogħod mill-verità,” il-Claggett bla waqfien spjegat. “Aħna għażilna lil Danny O'Connor ftit wara l-aħħar ġlieda tiegħi f'Ottubru u ħdimna bla heda biex dan iseħħ. Ninsab ħerqan li niffaċċja lil xi ħadd li jiġġieled miexi 'l quddiem. Ħadd mhu se jipprova tap dance fuq St. Jum Patrizju.”
L-istess bħall-aħħar ġlieda tiegħu f'Ottubru li għadda, li fiha vvjaġġa lejn Montreal u Ulysse, Jr. fil arrière tiegħu, Montreal, Claggett jerġa’ jiġġieled fil-bitħa ta’ wara l-avversarju tiegħu, biss din id-darba kontra Irlandiż-Amerikan popolari f’Boston fuq St. Jum Patrizju.
“Ebda problema,” Claggett ikkummenta, “iġibha fuq. M'għandi l-ebda biża' minn xi bniedem! It-tim tiegħi se joqgħod mal-promotur tiegħi, KO Lejl Boxing, wara din il-ġlieda biex tħares lejn il-mossa li jmiss. Nistenna li ser inkun pożizzjonat biex niġġieled għal titlu mondjali tal-welterweight junior malajr biżżejjed.
“Ninsab eċċitati ħafna għal din l-opportunità li nuri t-talenti tiegħi, live fuq Super Channel, għall-kbar tiegħi, fanbase ta' appoġġ fil-Kanada. Napprezza li s-Super Channel iżid biex jippermetti lit-telespettaturi tiegħu u lill-partitarji tiegħi jingħaqdu magħna f'dan il-lejl kbir. Abbona għas-Super Channel għas-siġġijiet ta' quddiem fil-filliera tiegħek fuq St. Jum Patrizju.”

billy Walsh (ċentru) is shown here receiving his Best of 2017 Elite World Championships Award

COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Frar 22, 2018) – USA Boxing head coach Billy Walsh was the head coach of his native country’s amateur program in Ireland for 12 years and, Ironikament, those two squads will compete in three friendly duals next month on the 2018 USA vs. Ireland Northeast Tour.
A 1988 Ireland Olympian, Walsh coached the Irish Team from 2003 biex 2015, and he took over Team USA in 2015, capturing the AIBA’s World Coach of the Year the past two years.
L-Istati Uniti vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour will commence Marzu 12 fil Kumpless Royale Divertiment Boston, followed by match-ups on Marzu 15 fiċ-Ċentru MassMutual fi Springfield, Massa., and Manchester, NH will close out tours onMarzu 21 fil Il Downtown Hotel Manchester. Boxing se jibda fi 7:00 p.m. EST fi tlett ibliet kollha.

Tickets for any of these events may be purchased online at http://go.teamusa.org/2nX3Vjc. Kull belt se nuru sa 12 truf, each to be live-streamed, b'xejn, fuq il-websajt USA Boxing tal (www.usaboxing.org).

“Fl-aħħar tal-ġurnata,” the 54-year-old Walsh admitted, “it is an unusual situation for me. But I’ve been coaching here two years and Team USA is my team now. I didn’t come here for just a few years. When I eventually leave, Team USA will have developed continuity and a solid program.
“I am a true Irishman who developed through a system that won multiple titles and I was the Irish Team captain for five years. I’m helping develop strong relations between USA and Ireland that can help both programs. Ireland has been among the best of the world – amazing considering the geographical size of Ireland — with its fighters’ great hearts along with their technique and skill. There’s a lot of talent and resources in the states, but amateur boxers have been taught to develop skills more for professional boxing. Here there is a variety of different ethnic groups: Mexicans, African-American and Caucasians, wisq. It’s truly a melting pot and each has a unique style of boxing. We are now providing coaching education for US programs to be sustainable long term.”
Boston, tal-kors, is known for being Irish friendly, to say the least. The Mayor of Boston, per eżempju, huwa Marty Walsh. Coach Walsh has only been in Boston once, 10 years ago with his wife for a short holiday.
“I didn’t do or get to see too much,” Walsh added. “but I know that there’s a lot of Irish history in Boston. Boston is a home away from home for the Irish. I have some friends and family there. I even joke that the mayor is my cousin. I understand that there are a lot of Irish in Springfield and Manchester, kif ukoll. I’m looking forward to going to all three cities on this tour.”
Rosters for the USA and Irish teams will soon be announced.

USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour Kicks-off March 12 fil Boston

“Fightin’ Irlandiż” boxing history
Rich in Boston
COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Frar 12, 2018) – “Fightin’ Irlandiż” and Boston boxing has been synonymous for more than a century, since the Irish first started emigrating to the United States in general, Boston in particular, wara l- Great Potato Famine.
Many Irish and Irish-American boxers have fought in the Greater Boston area, some born and others resettling there. This rich tradition continues next month in a different way when the three-city 2018 USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour kicks-off It-tnejn, Marzu 12, fil-Kumpless tad-Divertiment Royale li għadu kif ġie rinnovat fid-distrett famuż tat-teatru ta’ Boston. Il-waqfien Boston, li qed tiġi ppreżentata minn Budweiser, will have general admission tickets for $20.00 u ammont limitat ta $30.00 reserved tickets go on sale today (It-tnejn, Frar. 12) fi 12 p.m. U are available to purchase online hawn.
L-Istati Uniti vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour se jkompli Marzu 15 fiċ-Ċentru MassMutual fi Springfield, Massa., jikkonkludi Marzu 21 fil-Manchester Downtown Hotel fi New Hampshire.
Id-duals kollha se jibdew fi 7:00 p.m. EST u biljetti se jkunu disponibbli għax-xiri fit-ġimgħat li ġejjin. Kull belt se nuru sa 12 truf, li kollha se jkunu live streamed, b'xejn, fuq il-websajt USA Boxing tal (www.usaboxing.org).
The tradition started back in the 19th century with “The Boston Strongboy,” John. L. Sullivan (Roxbury, MA), the first millionaire American athlete, as well as the first “gloves” world heavyweight champion and final “bare knuckles” heavyweight champion of the world. Sala Internazzjonali tal-Fama tal-Boxing, Sullivan won 38 ta 38 tissielet pro, 30 coming by knockout, with only one loss and two draws.
Another Hall-of-Famer from that era, Jake Kilrain (29-5-8, 17 Kos), lived in Somerville and Quincy, both Boston suburbs. Kilrain (1829-1899) also reigned as world heavyweight champion.
Irish boxers from Greater Boston continued this rich tradition through the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries with world champions and top contenders such as welterweight Paddy Duffy (31-3,16, 18 Kos), Lawrence welterweight Mike Glover(Cavanaugh – 30-5-5, 16 Kos), and Charlestown welterweight Mike “Twin” Sullivan(28-6-16, 17 Kos), and Newton bantamweight Jimmy Walsh (33-10-20, 14 Kos)
In the 1950’s, Woburn lightweight “Irlandiż” Tommy Collins (61-12, 44 Kos) was dropped 10 times at the Boston Garden by world champion Jimmy Carter, until he finally succumbed in the fourth round. His gutsy performance, madankollu, earned him an appearance on the popular Ed Sullivan Show.
Arlington heavyweight Tom McNeeley (37-14, 28 Kos), unsuccessfully fought for the world title in 1961, stopped in the fourth round of his Toronto fight versus defending champion Floyd Patterson, and McNeeley’s son, Boston-native and later Medfield resident Peter “Uragan” McNeeley (47-7, 30 Kos) famously was stopped in the opening round by “Ħadid” Mike Tyson in the latter’s first fight after his release from prison.
In the 1980’s, Irish boxers made their way to Boston to fight; some returned home after their careers, others relocated in the area. Fl 1984, Ireland-native Sean Mannion (42-14, 13 Kos), who had moved to the Dorchester section of Boston, lost a 15-round decision in Madison Square Garden to Mike McCallum for the World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Middleweight World Championship.
Steve “Celtic Warrior” Collins (25-2-1, 18 Kos) moved to Everett, later to Brockton, to work with Goody u Pat Petronelli, who handled Marvellous Marvin Hagler throughout is Hall of Fame career. Collins captured the World Boxing Organization (WBO) middleweight and super middleweight world titles before moving back to Ireland.
Collins’ younger brother, Packie Collins, also moved to Brockton to fight. He later worked with Irish heavyweight champion Kevin “Il-Kloni Colossus” McBride (35-10-1, 29 Kos), who went on to knock Tyson out and into retirement. McBride, who still lives in Dorchester, was a stablemate of former Team Ireland head coach and current Team USA head coach, billy Walsh, at the European Games. Both were also Ireland Olympians, rispettivament, fil 1988 u 1992.
Another Ireland Olympian, Wayne “Pocket Rocket” McCullough (27-7, 18 Kos), moved to Las Vegas from Northern Ireland. The luck of the Irish wasn’t with him in Boston in 1997, when he lost his World Boxing Council (WBC) bantamweight title at Hynes Convention Center, by way of a 12-round split decision to Daniel Zaragoza.
Arguably the most famous and popular Irish-American boxer, outside of Sullivan and Jack Dempsey, is Lowell junior welterweight “Irlandiż” Micky Ward (38-13, 27 Kos), who was involved in three Fight of the Year award winners, two from his epic trilogy with Arturo Gatti, and the first boxer with more than 10 career losses to earn a $1-million purse. Ward’s life was portrayed by another Boston icon, actor Mark Wahlberg, in the award-winning movie, “The Fighter.”
Irish boxers are still coming to Boston to fight. Locally-based Murphys Boxing has promoted numerous shows in Boston featuring world-class boxers such as Gary “Spike” O'Sullivan and undefeated super bantamweight TJ “Power” Doheny (18-0, 13 Kos), as well as undefeated rising stars such as “Sting” Ray Mayotte and New England & Massachusetts heavyweight champion Niall Kennedy (10-0, 6 Kos).
The Irish team will announce its boxers later this month after the conclusion of its National Championships.
Headlining Team USA’s roster is 2017 Kampjonat Dinji medallist bronż Troy Isley(Lixandra, VA). USA Boxing’s team will also include Virginia Fuchs (Kamp, Texas), who won four international gold medals in 2017, 2016 Żgħażagħ Champion tad-Dinja u 2017 Elite Kampjonati Kontinentali medalist fidda, Delante Johnson (Cleveland, OH), 2017 USA Boxing Heavyweight National Champion Jared Anderson (Toledo, OH) u 2016 Kampjonat Dinji taż-Żgħażagħ medallist bronż u 2017 USA Boxing Super Heavyweight Champion Nazzjonali, Richard Torrez (Tulare, BĦAL). A roster sħiħa għal kull belt se jiġu rilaxxati eqreb lejn il-bidu tal-mawra.

DOMINICAN KO ARTIST GUZMAN READY FOR FIRST WORLD TITLE SHOT

Ħalli kumment
IBF #2 super bantamweight contender Jonathan “Salomon King” Guzman (21-0, 21 Kos) is hard at work preparing for the “fight of his life” with trainer Hector Bermudez at Peter Welch’s Gym in Boston.
The 26-year-old KO artist from Santo Domingo, Ir-Repubblika Dominikana, will face IBF #1 contender Shingo Wake (20-4-2, 12 Kos) fuq L-Erbgħa, Lulju 20, at EDION Arena Osaka in Osaka, Ġappun, for the vacant IBF World super bantamweight title.
Guzman, who stopped Mexico’s tough Daniel Rosas in eighth round on April 29 to earn this fight, says his dreams are so close to coming true he can almost taste them. “I have waited my whole life for a world title fight and now it’s almost here,” said Guzman. “I can’t wait to get in the ring and win for my family and my country.”
Trainer Bermudez says Guzman has too many weapons to fall short in this fight. “Although Jonathan has never had to go the distance because his power is amazing, he can also box very well. He’s just never had to thus far in his career. Jonathan is the complete package and soon the world will be learning all about him. There is no way that Wake can beat him.”
