EDMONTON, Canada (Gorffennaf 30, 2018) – Resilient Canadian boxer Steve “The Dragon” Claggett (27-5-1, 17 Kos) pulled off another impressive road victory last Saturday night, when he edged previously unbeaten defending champion Petros Ananyan (13-1-2, 6 Kos) to capture the International Boxing Federation (IBF) International super lightweight title.
Presented by Lee Baxter Promotions, Claggett vs. Ananyan headlined the second installment of “SUPERBOX LIVE: – “Rise Up” – that aired across Canada exclusively on Super Channel, live from Powerade Centre in Brampton, Canada. Live streamed worldwide on FITE.TV, the event will also airtomorrow (Dydd Mawrth, Gorffennaf 31) yn 7 p.m. in the United Kingdom on BoxNation (Ymweliad www.boxnation.com for listings).
Claggett, fighting out of Calgary, Canada, bounced back from a loss by way of a 10-round decision this past St. Patrick’s Day to Danny O'Connor yn Boston.
Armenia-native Ananya, now residing in Moscow, captured his IBF International title last October, when he upset 30-1 amddiffyn pencampwr Luca Giacon, who was fighting at home in Spain, by way of a six-round technical decision.
Claggett, who overcame a flash opening-round knockdown, won a close 10-round unanimous decision by the three judges’ ugeiniau o 95-94.
A true road warrior, Claggett has now won four of his last five fights, highlighted by upsets of three previously unbeaten opponents, all on the road by way of 10-riound decisions, starting in 2016 erbyn Emmanuel Robles (15-0-1) in Las Vegas for the North American Boxing Association (Hefyd) USA junior middleweight title, followed last October in Montreal versus highly-touted prospect Yves Ylyssee, Jr. (14-0) for the IBF North American crown, and the latest being Ananyan.
“Roedd hi'n agos iawn,” Claggett said about his fight last Saturday evening. “It was another great fight, another blood-and-guts battle, which is the only way I’m apparently built. So be it. I’m happy to be a warrior in the ring. Ar ddiwedd y dydd, fighters fight, cyfnod.
“I’m looking forward to fighting on Super Channel again. I think we are doing some great things to add to the cable television boxing business. The more exposure, y gorau. It’s always great to fight in Canada, my home country, and I can’t wait to prove to the world what an up-and-coming Canadian champ can really do. Mae'n fy amser bellach!”
Yn y digwyddiad yn cynnwys cyd-, Toronto’s only reigning world champion, Sandy “Lil Tyson” Tsagouris (17-2, 7 Kos), won every round for an eight-round unanimous decision over her Mexican opponent, Guadalupe Solis (5-3, 2 Kos).
Local favorite Nick Fantauzzi gwella i 6-0 (4 Kos), taking a six-round unanimous decision from Nova Scotia light heavyweight Aaron Crawley (3-2).
Canadian featherweight prospect Ross Mylet (3-0), fighting out of Oakville, Ontario, remained undefeated with a four-round unanimous decision triumph over Francisco “Relempago” Ubiet (6-3, 2 Kos), Mecsico.
