Herinnering: Undefeated Russian super middleweight Petr “The Surgeon” Khamukov to headline This Friday in Long Beach on DAZN

Skryf 'n opmerking



LOS ANGELES (Junie 16, 2025) - Often avoided Russian super middleweight Petr “The Surgeon” Khamukov (13-0, 6 Uitklophoue) will headline “LA Friday Night Fights”, presented by Paco Presents and Golden Boy Promotions, against David “Dynamite” Stevens (14-2, 10 Uitklophoue) this week in Long Beach, Kalifornië.


Khamukov faces Stevens, who was a standout amateur boxer out of Pennsylvania, in die 10-ronde hoofren. “LA Friday Night Fights” will be streamed live this Friday on DAZN from Thunder Studios.


A promotional free agent who now resides in Woodland Hills (SOOS), Khamukov had 350 amateur matches, represented Russia in the 2016 Olimpiese Spele, and he was the only Russian to qualify for the same Olympics in two weights classes (middleweight and light heavyweight). He captured gold medals at the 2015 European Championships and 2016 Russian National Championships.


Khamukov, 33, is excited to be fighting again, never mind headlining, because he has had a difficult time securing fights prior to recently signing a managerial contract with 3 Puntbestuur (3 PM). Khamukov’s last fight was 13 maande gelede, when he knocked out Esau Herrera de la Cruz (21-16-1) in die derde ronde.


“It was a real challenge, beide fisies en geestelik,” Khamukov spoke about his absence from the ring. “As they say, the darkest night is followed by the brightest dawn. That time away helped me reset, reflect, and come back even stronger. Sometimes those moments are necessary to build true resilience. You have to ask fighters why they have avoided me. I’ve always been ready to fight but they weren’t. Maybe the risk just didn’t justify the reward? Fear of losing can be a powerful force. Let them run, I’m not chasing anyone. I’m focused on my own path.


“It’s a huge honor and a big responsibility to be headlining this Friday night in Long Beach. A main event, worthy opponent, and a team that’s worked incredibly hard to get us here. Now it’s time to do what I do best: step into the ring and prove myself. Fighting on DAZN is a launchpad to a whole new level. Millions of eyes, a bigger stage and new doors that could open for me after a strong performance. One thing will stay the same: moving forward with dignity and respect for the sport, my opponent and myself.”


In his most recent fight last November in Las Vegas, the 24-year-old Stevens lost a 12-round split decision to Bektemir Melikuziev (14-1, 10 Uitklophoue). Stevens’ most impressive performance to date was an 8-round stoppage of then 14-0 Sean Hemphill in 2023.


“My opponent is a strong, experienced fighter, geen twyfel oor dit,” Khamukov said. “I respect that, but I didn’t just start boxing yesterday, óf. I’ve prepared thoroughly – physically, geestelik, tactically. The rest will be shown in the ring. Ek het nie veel praat, Ek doen, and that’s what professionalism is about.


“The biggest change in training camp has been volume. We’ve increased endurance work and focused on managing pace and energy. At my core, I’m still the same…. aggressiewe, technical, and hungry for victory.


Khamukov is the latest member of 3 Point Management’ (3 PM) stable of gifted boxers including WBA & WBO Cruiserweight World Champion/Ring Magazine No. 1 rated Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (47-1, 30 Uitklophoue), former WBC World Light Heavyweight Champion/WBC No. 3 rated Oleksandr “Nails” Gvozdyk (20-2, 16 Uitklophoue), world super flyweight title challenger/WBO No. 1 rated John “Scrappy” Ramirez (14-1, 9 Uitklophoue), WBA #6 rated super middleweight Darius “DFG” Fulgham (14-1, 12 Uitklophoue), former WBA Inter-Continental Light Heavyweight Champion Kareem “Supreme” Hackett (12-1, 6 Uitklophoue) and German junior welterweight Simon “Saucy” Vollmer (7-0, 3 Uitklophoue).

Boxing’s next great boxing trainer Julian Chua is a rising star in the gym, ring and corner

Skryf 'n opmerking
Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez isChua’s first true world champion
(L-R) – Jesse Vargas, head trainer Julian Chua and two-time World Champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez

LOS ANGELES (November 6, 2024) -- One of the hottest young trainers in boxing is Julian Chua, even though he still hasn’t received the high-level respect he deserves from many boxing fans and promoters.

When Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (46-1, 30 Uitklophoue) dethroned previously undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) Cruiserweight World Champion Arsen “Feroz” Goulamirian (27-0, 19 Uitklophoue) die afgelope Maart, Chua’s stock took off because “Zurdo” is the first world champion the 33-year-old Chua developed into a world champion.

The journey Chua took to become the head trainer of “Zurdo,” who is only two months younger than Julian, was unusual, om die minste te sê. At that time, Ramirez was 39-0 and the first of Mexican heritage to be world super middleweight champion, as well as a promotional free agent. “Zurdo” and his manager, David Suh (3 Puntbestuur – 3PM), were conducting a search for a new head trainer and the list included some of the top coaches in the country. Chua was a relatively unknown commodity outside of southern California who at that time was training fighters at the famed Wildcard Gym in Hollywood (SOOS) under Hall of Fame Trainer Freddie Roach (he had also trained Chua when he was an amateur boxer from Indiana).

In 2018, Suh reached out to Chua to inquire if he’d be interested in training Ramirez, adding that he was also speaking with several other top names. Op die eerste, Ramirez really didn’t know who Chua was, at least, until they met at a coffee shop in Santa Monica to get to know each other. After that meeting, Ramirez gave Julian a chance to train him. The rest, natuurlik, is part of modern-day boxing history.

“We clicked right away,” Chua added. “We learned things about each other and how we liked to train. I’ve always studied a lot and did some research about how he had been trained because I wanted to help him improve. I was getting four fighters ready in L.A. and ‘Zurdo’ couldn’t go there for sparring. I told him that I couldn’t leave these fighters to go and train him in Long Beach. We still wanted to work with each other and ‘Zurdo’ made it work. I went to Long Beach (where Ramirez trained at Hill Street Boxing & Fitness Gym) twice a week and he came to Wildcard three times.”

Chua made his debut at Ramirez’ new head trainer in 2019, when Ramirez moved up in weight to fight as a light heavyweight, stopping Tommy Karpency in four rounds. COVID-19 restrictions adversely affected Ramirez’ activity, but he learned and improved by continuing to work with Chua in the gym. “Zurdo” signed a promotional contract with Golden Boy Promotions, gaining added exposure fighting on the DAZN, and he reeled off four more consecutive victories through the middle of 2022, after which he lost for the first time in his pro career to WBA World Light Heavyweight Champion Dmitry Bivol (20-0), by wyse van 'n 12-ronde besluit.

Ramirez decided that it was time to move up another division to cruiserweight because he was walking around at 200 pond. Verlede Oktober, Ramirez made his cruiserweight debut, albeit at a 193-pound catchweight, against former world light heavyweight champion and Bernard Hopkins conqueror Joe Smith, Jr. (28-4). “Zurdo” won a unanimous 10-round decision to become the mandatory challenger for Goulamirian.

“’Zurdo’ is the first world champion I’ve ‘built’ but I’ve been brought in to work with some world champions on their weaknesses – Regis Prograis, Steph Fulton and Alycia Baumgardner,” Chua commented. “It’s a lot more difficult that way because you can’t really have an impact in only two or three months. I’ve been working with ‘Zurdo’ for five years and I’ve had it good. He has a lot of natural talent and has always been a smart fighter, but he picked ‘nuts-and-guts’ too often in his decision making. He didn’t need to get hit so much even though he has a great chin. He has such a beautiful style and he’s so intelligent.”

“He’s such a natural. Mexicans are uppercut kings. I noticed that, defensively, Arsen didn’t move his head or feet much. He was so wide that he was open up the middle for uppercuts, left or right, and that was our master plan. We worked on ‘Zurdo’ not throwing his uppercuts from too far away. He had been wide but, in this fight, he smothered his opponent inside. He did a lot of technical work and he’s always been a versatile fighter. I have him boxing more off his back foot. He could bully opponents with his size at 168, but he doesn’t have that same physical luxury to impose his size at cruiserweight. He’s using his boxing skills more.”

Chua admits he cherished Ramirez capturing the WBA crown, professionally as well as personally. And he also believes “Zurdo” can become the first Mexico-born heavyweight world champion, the same as he was as world super middleweight and cruiserweight champion.

“It meant the world to me,” Chua spoke about ‘Zurdo’ becoming the WBA Cruiserweight World Champion. “The expression on my face when they announced the scores showed how much it meant to me. I’m still fighting for my respect with fans and promoters, especially after the Bivol fight. ‘Zurdo’ is too slick. I believe in this guy! I can see him moving up to heavyweight, but I want to clean up some more things defensively. Sometimes he keeps his head too low, and I don’t want him testing his chin so much. Depending on who the heavyweight champion is when he’s ready, I believe he can be heavyweight champion of the world with his activity so slick and prioritizing his defense. We’re going to double down. As Abel Sanchez (Goulamirian’s trainer) said at the post-fight press conference, he didn’t think ‘Zurdo’ was so slick, offensively and defensively.”

Chua is preparing “Zurdo” to take on WBO Cruiserweight Chris Billam-Smith (20-1, 13 Uitklophoue) in a unification match on November 16ste in Riyadh, Saoedi -Arabië.

In addition to several mixed-martial-arts fighters, Chua is also the head trainer for pro boxers such as WBA world super flyweight challenger and WBA #6-rated John “Scrappy” Ramirez (13-1, 9 Uitklophoue), undefeated Hawaiian middleweight prospect Jordan “The Patriot” Panthen (9-0, 8 Uitklophoue), 2012 Ukrainian Olympian welterweight Taras Shelestyuk (19-0-1, 11 Uitklophoue), undefeated New York City welterweight Arnold Gonzalez (15-1, 7 Uitklophoue), Armenian super bantamweight Azat “Crazy A” Hovhannisyan (21-5, 17 Uitklophoue), and former WBA Inter-Continental Champion “Supreme” Kareem Hackett (12-1, 6 Uitklophoue), of Toronto.

Catch the Chua experience, Julian is making a name for himself in boxing circles and drawing fighters to work with him at Brickhouse Boxing Club in North Hollywood, Kalifornië. The best is yet to come, egter, especially if “Zurdo” becomes world heavyweight champion in the not-too-distant future.

Turkish super middleweight prospect Cem “Champ” Kilic living the American Dream Headlining this Thursday in Montebello, SOOS, steaming live on UFC FIGHT PASS

Skryf 'n opmerking
Kilic celebrating.jpg
LAS VEGAS (Maart 9, 2022) – What a long, strange trip it’s been for Turkish super middleweight prospect Cem “Champ” Kilic, part of a growing 3 Puntbestuur (3 PM) stable, resettling in California from Germany despite the pandemic, to headline this Thursday night’s “Hollywood Fight Nights, aangebied deur 360 Promosies, at Quiet Cannon Country Club in Montebello, Kalifornië.

The 27-year-old Kilic faces Andrew “Hurricane” Hernandez (21-8-2, 9 Uitklophoue) in the 8-round main event, which will be streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS®.


A member of the Turkish National Boxing Team, Kilic moved eight years ago from Germany to Sherman Oaks, Kalifornië, where he still resides. A native of Germany whose family comes from Turkey, Kilic showed tremendous courage simply by relocating halfway around the world with a mere $200 in his pockets, as well as the inability to speak English other than a few words.


“I still spend a lot of time at home,” Kilic remarked. “During the pandemic, I lived with my family in Germany, and I have a lot of family in Turkey. It was very rough growing up. I had always dreamed of living in the United States from watching movies. I wanted to do something different. I’m a big fan of Hollywood movies. Muhammad Ali is my idol and that’s another reason I wanted to come here to box.


“I didn’t speak English when I first came to America, only basics, and nobody I met here spoke German or Turkish. but I learned English watching old movies and using Google translator. I learned quicky, al, and was comfortable speaking English in six months. And now I live only 10-minutes from Hollywood.”


Kilic hit rock bottom after suffering his first loss January 11, 2020, te 15-0 Steve Nelson in Atlantic City, in which his corner threw in the towel midway through the eighth round due to several facial cuts. The fight was for the vacant North American Boxing Organization (NABO) titel. Cem took time off in the U.S. during the pandemic.


“Everything was closed,” he explained. “I put on weight and become even more depressed. I let myself go after my first loss. My wife said I needed to get back in shape, so I watched a training video on YouTube and, at first, I couldn’t get through the warmup. But I slowly got in shape and that fueled my interest again in boxing. I didn’t have a promoter and I separated from my manager and trainer. I was trained by a friend and went up to Abel Sanchez’ place in Big Bear and got some good work. I sparred a lot of champions: Jermell Charlo, (Gilberto) ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez, Callum Smith, and David Benavidez.”


Kilic action.jpg
(L) Cem Kilic is a fighter’s fighter


A self-described aggressive fighter with a warrior mentality, Kilic says the late Arturo Gatti was one of his favorite fighters, who he emulates in terms of style. Cem has watched the Gatti-(Micky) Ward trilogy about 20 keer, which led him into boxing as a career.

“I knew about Gatti, but I really got into boxing after watching his fights with Micky Ward,” Kilic fondly remembered. “They were so tough, and I love the way they fought. They were throwback fighters to the ’40 and ‘50s.”


The current Team Kilic was formed after his only loss. He is trained by 4-time, 2-division World champion Brian Viloria, in addition to being managed (3PM), which also manages 43-0 “Zurdo” Ramirez, the former World Super Middleweight Champion, presently the top-ranked World light heavyweight contender.


“I knew Brian and met him at Brickhouse,” Kilic explained. “One day I told my strength-and-conditioning coach I needed a new coach and asked him to talk to Brian about me. I liked Brian and knew he was a world champion with a lot of knowledge. We’ve only worked together for one fight, but I’ve improved in a lot of ways.


“I was waiting for an opportunity to sign with a manager and did with 3PM. The guys are great and I’m much more motivated than before. It’s been amazing.”


Kilic is prepared to display his development under Viloria and 3PM this Thursday night against Hernandez. "Ek kan nie wag,” Kilic concluded. “He has fought some good names (Kaleb Plant, Jesse Hart, Ali Akhmedov, Ahmed Elbiali, Patrick Teixeira, and Arif Magomedov). I always prepare to go the full distance. I never go into a fight looking for a knockout, but I look for openings.”


Cem “Champ” Kilic is truly living the American Dream, especially because of the support he has from his new team members.

ANDY RUIZ JR.

'Ek is regtig gemotiveerd vir Mei 1. Ons oefen albei hard en werk elke dag vir hierdie een. My mentaliteit is waar dit moet wees en ek is gereed om 'n wonderlike vertoning te lewer.

'Eddy sien die potensiaal wat ek het, en hy het vir my gesê dat ek gedissiplineer moet word as ek saam met hom gaan werk. Ek dink nie ek was ooit waar nie 100 persent toegewy tot nou toe. Ek is omring deur groot kampioene soos Canelo Alvarez, Oscar Valdez en Ryan Garcia, wat my help motiveer en dit is 'n seën om elke dag by Eddy te leer.

'Om met Eddy te werk, het my mentaliteit help verander. Sy mentaliteit is dat ons niks as vanselfsprekend kan aanvaar in hierdie sport nie. Ons het aan baie verskillende dinge gewerk en ek het die vermoë om baie nuwe dinge saam met Eddy te doen. Ek kan nie wag om vir almal die nuwe Andy Ruiz Jr.. Mei 1 omdat ek nou meer gemotiveerd is as wat ek nog nooit tevore was nie.

'Ek het baie geleer by elke afrigter wat ek gehad het, en ek is dankbaar vir almal. Saam met Eddy, hy hou daarvan om elke slag en elke beweging in die ring te vervolmaak. Die vlak van detail is iets wat ek nog nooit op hierdie vlak gehad het nie.

'Arreola is 'n vegter wat baie slae kan slaan. Hy is sterk, maar ons gaan by die wedstrydplan hou en gedissiplineerd bly.

'Om my laaste stryd te verloor, was verwoestend. Ek het nie die dinge gedoen wat ek moes doen nie. Dit was die belangrikste stryd in my loopbaan. Ek het my hele lewe lank gewag om kampioen te word en ek het dinge begin doen wat ek nooit gedink het ek sou kon doen nie. Ek wil nie weer dieselfde foute maak nie, en dit is 'n groot deel van wat my motiveer.

'Noudat ek gewig op die regte manier gedaal het, Ek voel ongelooflik. Ek voel dat ek baie meer dinge kan doen wat ek nog nie voorheen kon doen nie weens my liggaam. Die hemel is die limiet vir my.

'Ek het nog steeds 'n wrok in my binneste oor die tweede Anthony Joshua-stryd, want ek wil nie weer op daardie pad gaan nie. Ek wil net gedissiplineerd bly vir hierdie stryd en al die groot gevegte in my toekoms.

'Ek het van Arreola geleer dat ons albei vegters is. Ons gee nie op nie. Ons ontvang graag slae en gee dit terug. As ons in daardie ring is, dis net besigheid.

'Dit gaan 'n stryd met alle aksies wees. Ek weet Arreola oefen baie hard en ek is opgewonde vir alles wat hy gaan bring. Ek kan nie wag om al my verbeterings aan die mense daarbuite te wys nie. '

CHRIS ARREOLA

'Dit is 'n stryd wat ek gesien het kom sedert die eerste keer dat ek Andy gespaar het. Destyds was hy net 'n popperige kind en ek het niks aan hom gedink nie, totdat hy daardie hande gooi. Daardie hande was vinnig en dodelik. Ek het op daardie stadium geweet dat hierdie stryd eendag sou kom.

'Ek was 'n rukkie gereed vir hierdie stryd. Op 'n stadium wou hy soos ek wees, en nou wil ek soos hy wees en swaargewigkampioen word. Hy het alles verdien wat hy gekry het, en nou is dit my tyd om alles te doen om die geskiedenis te verander en te bewys dat ek 'n elite-swaargewig is.

'Ek het alles in opleiding gegee, maar ons gaan aanhou werk. Ek is opgewonde vir Mei 1 want dit gaan beslis 'n soort geveg wees. '

'Ek weet dat Andy sterk lyk en dit 'n groot stryd gaan maak. Dit is 'n stryd waaroor mense moet praat. Daar is meer werk om te doen, maar ek sal gereed wees om die wêreld op Mei te skok 1.

'Dit was nie soseer die uitset wat vir my verbeter het in die Adam Kownacki-stryd nie, maar dit is die feit dat ek combo's kon gooi toe ek wou. Ek glo dat die slegste wat ek in die stryd moes kry, gelykop was. Óf manier, my plan is om in nog 'n beter toestand te wees vir hierdie stryd teen Ruiz.

'Daar is nie te veel dinge waaroor ek in my lewe spyt is nie. Ja, Ek het later in my loopbaan meer dissipline gevind, maar ek is nie een wat te veel op die verlede steun nie. Daar is niks wat ek kan verander nie, behalwe wat more gebeur.

'Noudat ek hierdie nuwe toegevoegde energie in my het, en regtig hierdie nuwe liefde vir die spel, dit maak dit vir my makliker om in die gimnasium te kom en na Joe te luister.

'Andy was baie beskeie toe ek hom die eerste keer bespaar het. Ek het nie gedink dat hy die handspoed en vaardighede sou hê wat hy gehad het nie. Ek het daardie dag 'n onbeskofte ontwaking gehad. Ons het mekaar die hande opgelê. In plaas daarvan om op te hou, hy het aangehou kom. Dit was 'n prettige sparring-sessie. Daarom was ek een van die mense wat voorspel het dat hy Joshua die eerste geveg gaan klop.

'Ek weet dat ek 'n slim spelplan moet saambring. Aan die einde van die dag, ons gaan die rock 'em sock' em oomblikke hê. Andy het baie handspoed. So ek weet dit as ek nie my hande terugbring nie, Ek sal gevang word. '

EDDY REYNOSO, Ruiz’s Trainer

'Andy het soveel tyd gegee en was so toegewyd aan sy werk in die gimnasium. Ons is opgewonde vir Mei 1. Hy is gemotiveerd en leer elke dag baie.

'Ons weet dit op Mei 1 ons gaan te doen hê met 'n aggressiewe vegter wat sy beste gaan lewer. Andy is opgewonde oor die uitdaging wat Arreola bied.

'Mei 1 gaan die tweede begin van Andy se loopbaan wees. Dit is die begin van sy strewe om weer kampioen te word. Ons respekteer Arreola, maar ons gaan daar ingaan om die werk op Mei gedoen te kry 1.

'Andy is sterk en hy het 'n geweldige fokus. Ek moet Andy gelukwens met sy poging en toewyding tot dusver. Ek glo dit op Mei 1, almal gaan 'n baie ander en verbeterde Andy Ruiz Jr..

'Ek het met Andy en sy hele span gesels en hulle het ons die vertroue gegee dat Andy hard sou werk. Hy het presies dit gedoen. Die fokus is dat hy weer wêreldkampioen word. Daar is baie groot vegters in swaargewig, maar ons glo almal dat Andy met hierdie harde werk gaan wys wie hy regtig is. '

JOE GOOSSEN, Arreola’s Trainer

'Dit is twee vegters wat bekend is vir wat hulle die beste doen, en dit gaan vir die uitklophou. Hulle laat dit dadelik van die openingsklok af vlieg.

'Eddy oefen Andy tans en dit is 'n wonderlike wedstryd, net soos ek en Chris is 'n goeie wedstryd. Ek verwag dat albei vegters in 'n fantastiese vorm sal wees. Ek weet dat Eddy nie Andy sou oplei nie, tensy hy die program toegewy het.

'Ons oefen nou al maande. Chris was baie toegewyd en het sy vaardighede verskerp om vir Mei gereed te wees 1. Albei ouens wil wen. Die druk is op albei ouens om hard daarvoor te werk. Geen ou glo dat hulle die 'b-kant' is nie en dit is hoe hulle moet voel. As u twee vaardige vegters met daardie mentaliteit het, dit gaan 'n groot stryd wees.

'Wanneer het u ooit Chris of Andy in 'n slegte stryd gesien?? Hulle gee albei alles en as ek nie vir Chris opgelei het nie, Ek sal beslis kyk. As dit alles gesê en gedoen word, Ek glo dit gaan 'n stryd wees wat in die geskiedenisboeke opgeneem word.

'Andy se styl is Andy se styl. Soos hy self gesê het, die verskil is wat hy met 'n ander liggaam kan doen. Dit gaan 'n nuwe en verbeterde styl wees. Dit is moeilik om u hele styl te verander, maar hy gaan wys dat hy sy styl bygevoeg het. '

TOM BROWN, President van TGB Promotions

“Dignity Health Sports Park is die voorste buiteboks-lokaal in die VS.. Dit was die tuiste van 'n paar ware moderne klassieke. Iets spesiaals gebeur as vegters in daardie tonnel afstap. Dit is soos gladiators wat die Colosseum binnekom.

“Andy Ruiz Jr vs.. Chris Arreola is gewaarborg dat dit weer 'n groot stryd sal wees tussen twee Mexikaans-Amerikaanse krygers uit Suid-Kalifornië. Dwarsdeur hul geskiedenis, die oomblik toe hulle die ring binnestap, hierdie vegters het boksondersteuners geëlektrifiseer.

'Hierdie stryd sal 'n skraal fees wees. Albei vegters het ondersteunersvriendelik, all-action style en dit is veilig om te sê dat Ruiz en Arreola nog nooit in die ring gestap het om net te wen nie - hulle wil die uitklophou hê. Dit gaan dus bomme weg wees op Mei 1.

'Ons is baie opgewonde oor hierdie betaal-per-kyk-kaart met vier all-action-gevegte. Ons begin die aksie met die jong vooruitsig, Jesus Ramos, wat Javier Molina aanvat in 'n wedstryd wat die toekoms van die boks is teenoor 'n veteraan-Olimpiese. Ons het ook 'n opkomende ster in Sebastian Fundora teen 'n ware mededinger in Jorge Cota. Meer, die mede-hoofbyeenkoms met Omar Figueroa teen Abel Ramos het die potensiaal om 'n Mexikaanse Gatti vs.. Ward tipe stryd. ”

559 Fights returns to Visalia

Skryf 'n opmerking

SELMA, Kalifornië. – Larry Gonzales hasn’t had the best of luck in his young mixed martial arts career. The Fresno heavyweight had three fights fall apart before he even had a chance to compete.

But once Gonzales stepped foot in the cage, he hasn’t looked back amassing a 4-0 rekord, capturing a 559 Fights Heavyweight Championship and climbing to a No. 3 ranking in the state.

Gonzales hopes to keep the good fortune going on March 13 – Friday the 13th – in a heavyweight title showdown with Fresno’s Kail Melton (1-2) at the Visalia Convention Center. Doors open at 6pm and first fight is at 7.

“Looking at things now this might be one of the largest fight cards we’ve ever put together," 559 Fights owner Jeremy Luchau said. “15 mma bouts in all, with three of them being title fights and a grappling tournament. I don’t know what more fight fans could possibly want.”

The co-main event features a California Amateur Mixed Martial Arts Organization Middleweight State title fight, pitting two of the Valley’s best 185-pound prospects against one another – Hanford’s Marqus Blevins (3-0) and Orange Cove’s Jared Velasquez (4-3).

“It’s been a long time coming to get Blevins into the 559 Fights cage,"Luchau gesê. “Blevins trains out of Valley Fight Club and that’s where I had my start in mixed martial arts training. It’s an honor and a pleasure to be able to have them represented in our promotion. And I’m also excited to have Velasquez back in action. He’s as tough as they come and represents a great city in Orange Cove where we just had an extremely successful event.”

Flyweights will also take center stage, as 125-pound 559 Fights kingpin Johnny Maldonado of Bakersfield defends his perfect 4-0 record in a rematch with former champion Josue Gonzales (3-2) of San Luis Obispo.

559 Fights will also be hosting its first grappling tournament, which will take place in the 155-185 weight classes and feature competitors from all over the Central Valley.

“The fight card is pretty stacked, but I’m probably most excited about this grappling tournament that we are doing,” Luchau added. “There’s going to be a lot of notable names from the Valley competing. It’s a great start for us on where we see the future of both grappling and 559 Fights heading in the future.”

In other main card bouts; Irvine flyweight Meggan Tamondong (2-1) takes on Rocklin’s Valerie Thurs (3-4), Lindsay lightweight Mark Felix (4-3) battles Sacramento’s Julius Wright (5-4), Hanford featherweight Denzel Rosaroso (3-0) fights Bakersfield’s Sal Bruno (2-2-2), Sanger welterweight Anthony Mata (1-1) tangles with Bakersfield’s Jeramy Titsworth (1-1) and Porterville light heavyweight Omar Reneau (2-3) fights Lathrop’s Danny Moreno (2-2).

Grappling competitors include; Porterville’s Brandon Cohea, Fresno’s Nick Bustamante, Selma’s Julian Tovar, Parlier’s Christian Avalos, Fresno’s Art Hernandez, Visalia’s Marc DeLaCruz, Fresno’s Alex Rojas and Bakersfield’s Matt Reed.
