DETROIT (Juliol 15, 2025) – Embodying the Detroit fighting spirit, Harrison boasts a highly decorated career that spans over fourteen years. On a mission to reclaim a world title, Harrison is set to step back into the ring for the first time since his WBO Interim Super Welterweight showdown against Tim Tszyu in 2023. A force in the super welterweight division, Harrison defeated Jermell Charlo in 2018 to become the WBC Super Welterweight Champion, giving Charlo his first defeat. Aquesta vegada, Harrison is gearing up to perform for his hometown fans in the Motor City as the co-main event of the highly anticipated Claressa Escuts vs. Lani Daniels Heavyweight World Championship event on Dissabte, Juliol 26, at Little Caesars Arena.

Opposite Harrison will be Dominican Republic’s Edward Diaz (15-6, 12 KOs). A heavy-handed competitor, Diaz is on the heels of a knockout victory over Juan Martinez.

The GWOAT, Claressa Escuts (16-0, 3 KOs), will return home on Saturday, Juliol 26, when she puts her Undisputed Heavyweight World Championship on the line in the main event atLittle Caesars Arena against the reigning IBF Lt. Heavyweight World Champion from New Zealand, Lani Daniels (11-2-2, 1 KO). escuts vs. Daniels will air live on the global home of boxing, DAZN. Escuts, the most decorated female boxer in history, made headlines earlier this year by becoming the first woman ever to claim the Undisputed Heavyweight World Championship—and the first boxer, mascle o femella, to achieve undisputed status in three weight divisions.

Dmitriy Salita, President de Salita Promotions:

“Tony Harrison and his family are the bedrock of the Detroit boxing community — deeply rooted, respected, and committed to giving back. It’s meaningful that Tony, the last world champion from Detroit, will be fighting at Little Caesars Arena, just minutes from where he grew up. Alongside Claressa Shields, another Michigan-born icon, this event showcases the strength, pride, and legacy of boxing in our great state.”

Tony Harrison:

“I can’t wait to fight in my hometown of Detroit on July 26th. The middleweight division better take notice — I’m coming for my second world title, and I’m more focused than ever.”

“It’s incredible to see what Salita is doing for boxing in Detroit. We’re here in my gym, right in the heart of the city, with cameras and photographers — and the kids see it. They get inspired. I’m fighting just down the street at Little Caesars Arena, live on DAZN, and that kind of visibility motivates the next generation. That’s what it’s all about.”

DETROIT (Juliol 9, 2025) – Salita Promotions has announced the signing of former WBC Super Welterweight Champion and proud Detroit nativeTony Harrison(29-4-1, 21 KOs) to their surging roster.

Embodying the Detroit fighting spirit, Harrison boasts a highly decorated career that spans over fourteen years. On a mission to reclaim a world title, Harrison is set to step back into the ring for the first time since his WBO Interim Super Welterweight showdown against Tim Tszyu in 2023. A force in the super welterweight division, Harrison defeated Jermell Charlo in 2018 to become the WBC Super Welterweight Champion, giving Charlo his first defeat. This time, Harrison is gearing up to perform for his hometown fans in the Motor City as the co-main event of the highly anticipatedClaressa Escuts vs. Lani Daniels Heavyweight World Championship event onDissabte, Juliol 26, at Little Caesars Arena. Opposite Harrison will be Dominican Republic’sEdward Diaz (15-6, 12 KOs). A heavy-handed competitor, Diaz is on the heels of a knockout victory over Juan Martinez.

Boxing is in Harrison’s blood as he is a third-generation professional fighter. His grandfather, Henry Hank, fought from 1955 a 1972 and retired with a record of 62-31-4, 40 KOs. Henry’s son, Ali Salaam – Harrison’s father and former trainer, now deceased – was a professional welterweight who fought from 1984 a 1989 and retired with a record of 11-6, 5 KOs.

“We are excited to get back in there and get to work,” said Harrison. “It’s been a minute, but we are going to roll out like George Foreman did for his comeback. I have a short window left, so we are going to be active, keep winning, and eventually get back to the mountain top. Regaining a world title is my No. 1 objectiu, and I am feeling very strong at 160. It all starts once again on July 26 in my hometown. Let’s eat.”

“Tony Harrison is the last world champion from Detroit — a fighter who has proudly carried the city’s rich boxing legacy all the way to a world title,” said Salita Promotions PresidentDmitriy Salita. “Now rejuvenated at middleweight, he’s on a mission to add another belt to his already remarkable career. Fans watching live on DAZN and at Little Caesars Arena will witness an action-packed undercard featuring some of the best talent in the world.

Also featured on the impressive DAZN televised main card, rising heavyweight starPryce Taylor (8-0, 6 KOs) returns to the ring for the fourth time in 2025. On the strength of four straight knockouts, Brooklyn’s Taylor aims to continue his rise to heavyweight greatness against Saginaw, Mich.’sRobert Simms (12-4-1, 3 KOs).

Samantha Worthington (11-0, 7 KOs), who is co-promoted by Shields’T-Rex Promotionsand Salita Promotions, looks to take one step closer to achieving her world title dream when she collides with France’sVictoire Piteau (14-2, 2 KOs) per a laWBA Jr. WelterWomen’s Interim Title. An undeniable rising star under the Salita Promotions banner, Alabama-born Worthington has passed every test in the ring impressively. Stringing together three statement victories in the past year, Worthington has earned the interim title opportunity in a division that features superstarsKatie TayloriAmanda Serrano. Opposite Worthington, Piteau competes for a spot atop the star-studded 140-pound division. On the strength of five straight victories, Piteau will fight for the first time in the U.S. in a pivotal matchup against Worthington on July 26. The winner of this bout will be in line to face the winner of Taylor vs. Serrano III, taking place this weekend

Kicking off the main card action, the reigning WBC International Women’s Featherweight champion, Caroline Veyre(9-1), who fights out of Montreal, steps into the ring for the second time this year when she faces France’sLicia Boudersa (23-3-2, 4 KOs) in a WBC Women’s Featherweight World Title Eliminator. Signing with Salita Promotions in 2024, Veyre has proven to be one of the most dangerous contenders in the featherweight division. On the heels of two dominant unanimous decision victories in back-to-back fights, Veyre prepares to take the next step towards WBC gold against the battle-tested Boudersa. Boudersa, 32, makes her promotional debut following a closely contested loss to Beatriz Ferreira for the IBF Lightweight World Title last year. Boasting championship experience, Boudersa stands as a stiff test for the surging Veyre..

Pryce is Right again for undefeated Brooklyn heavyweight Pryce Taylor

Leave a comment
CIUTAT DE NOVA YORK (Juny 11, 2025) – Immediately after last Friday night’s impressive fourth-round stoppage of Ed “Tex” Fountain, Brooklyn’s undefeated Pryce Taylor (8-0, 5 KOs) was called America’s best heavyweight prospect by his promoter, Dmitriy Salita (Promocions Saleta).

The 28-year-old Taylor and his manager, New York City-based Attorney Keith Sullivan, agree with Salita.

“They’re (Salita and Sullivan) both right,", va dir Taylor, “because they’ve seen me fight. Fighting brings the dog out in me. Ell (Font) was a test, real resilient, but like a punching bag that’s ready to fall off the chain. I had to keep hitting him and no way was he thinking about playing it safe. The referee saved his life; he was thinking about not falling down.”

The powerful Taylor entered the ring paying tribute to the late, great George Foreman by wearing a “Big George” T-shirt. Abans de la lluita, Taylor noted that he had great success in the pro ranks fighting southpaws like Fountain. Taylor methodically ripped his opponent’s head and body with damaging punches, hurting Fountain in the third round with a straight right-left hook combination, followed by a barrage of shots on the sturdy Fountain who managed to survive the round.
(L-R: Head trainer Benny Roman, Pryce Taylor wearing his George Foreman tribute T-shirt, and manager Keith Sullivan)

Font (14-9, 7 KOs), who was the best fighter the 6’ 4”, 280-pound Taylor had fought in the pro ranks, was rocked from another series of violent combinations, when referee Charlie Fitch had seen enough and waved off the fight 36-seconds into the fourth frame.The fight was a scheduled 6-rounder on the “International Boxing Hall of Fame Night,” presented by Taylor’s promoter Salita Promotions, al Turning Stone Resort Casino de Verona, Nova York.

“I was excited to be fighting on a show like that,” Taylor added. “He hit me first in the first round, something I always let my opponents do to test their power, gauge patterns, and figure him out. It’s like in baseball when a batter lets a pitch go by without swinging to see what he has on the mound. Because he’s a southpaw, his right is his jab, and he really wanted to use his left power hook. He had a good poker face, but he couldn’t hide it when I hurt him. He tried not showing he was fazed, keeping himself upright, but he felt my power. I like being accurate, especially throwing power punches. I punished him at the end, throwing a body shot, an uppercut, and then two right hooks.”

“I thought George Foreman would have been proud of me and maybe thought he was seeing himself fight when he saw me punch. I put on a show. I’m a combination of Foreman and Muhammad Ali; power punching like Foreman, elusive like Ali with good footwork and light on my toes.

“I’m not sure if this was the best fight of my career, but he was my best opponent and the toughest guy I’ve fought. He came into the ring in good shape and tried to fight. His downfall was Pryce Being Right de nou. I love throwing my straight right and that keeps opening up my left hook to the body.”

Taylor had a 60-11 rècord amateur, including a pair of New York Golden Gloves titles, and he was the heavyweight runner-up four times in the prestigious USA Boxing National Championship tournaments. “Pryce’s TKO win was exactly what I expected – dominant, calculated, and explosive,” Sullivan remarked. “He’s not just another prospect; with continued work, he can be the next great American heavyweight. With every fight, he’s proving that he has the tools, the discipline, and the mindset to be a force within this division. We’re building something special, and the world’s about to see it.”
Team Taylor (L-R): Manager Keith Sullivan, undefeated Brooklyn heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor, promoter Dmitriy Salita, and head trainer Benny Roman Salita.

Taylor will be fighting next in his first scheduled 8-round bout on July 26 in Detroit on a Salita Promotions card headlined by undisputed World Heavyweight Champion Claressa Shields (16-0, 3 KOs) versus Lani Daniels (11-2-2, 1 KO) at Little Caesars Arena. Sullivan, a former Deputy Commissioner for the NYS Athletic Commission, also manages 3-time, 2-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (18-5) and Bronx NYPD Officer Nisa Rodriguez (3-1, 1 KO), as well as co-managing world-rated (FIB #3 & AMB #10) welterweight contender Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-1, 11 KOs), from Limerick, Irlanda. Sullivan cogestiona Donovan amb l'antic campió mundial de pes mitjà Andy Lee, who is also Donovan’s head trainer.

O’Quinn Wins Again! Undefeated Detroit Bantamweight Sends Mexico’s Esquivel Through the Ropes in Second Round TKO Victory

Leave a comment

Undefeated bantamweight prospect Ja’Rico “Great Lakes King” O’Quinn continued building his reputation as one of Detroit’s most promising young fighters on Friday night with a second-round stoppage of former world-title challenger Christian “Italiano” Esquivel of Mexico.

 

 

 

Fighting at the MotorCity Casino Hotel in Detroit, O’Quinn (ara 10-0-1, 7 KOs) showed why he is so highly regarded by sending Esquivel through the ropes for a TKO victory at 2:56 de la segona ronda.

 

 

 

Esquivel, a former NABF, WBC Continental Americas, WBC Youth Intercontinental, CMB FECOMBOX, and WBC Silver Bantamweight Champion, had no answer to the fast and powerful hands of O’Quinn. He falls to 30-16-1, 23 KOs.

 

 

 

“Christian Esquivel was a world title challenger and an experienced fighter. My goal was to make a statement,” said a happy O’Quinn, posterior a la baralla. “I did what was expected of me and rose to the occasion. I’m looking forward to having another impressive win before the year’s ends and starting next year with my TV debut. I am bringing world championship glory back to the city of Detroit. It’s just a matter of time!"

 

 

 

O’Quinn’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita, said he expected a strong showing from O’Quinn and says he got even more than he hoped for from the 23-year-old.

 

 

 

“Ja’Rico is one of the most gifted prospects in all of boxing! I was very impressed with his dominating performance. He is on his way to winning a world title and joining the list of the great champions from the city of Detroit.”

Tyner i Chambliss Grudge Match a punt per explotar a l'octubre 26 a Detroit

Leave a comment

A la boxa, hi ha llumins de "rencor" fabricats per vendre baralles, on l'hostilitat actua majoritàriament. Per exemple, hi ha indicis d'això en la preparació del proper enfrontament de Deontay Wilder i Tyson Fury.

 

 

 

I després de vegades, dos lluitadors realment, realment no s'agraden. Penseu en Terence Crawford eliminant Jose Benavidez Jr., recentment.

 

 

 

A Detroit, aquest darrer tipus de coincidència de rancor, un autèntic partit de rancor, s'ha escalfat a ebullició a les xarxes socials. Amb insults i amenaces anant i tornant cada dia, l'experimentat de boxa de Detroit Lanardo "Pain Server" Tyner (34-13-2, 21 KOs) i el rival advenedut Cortez Chambliss (4-0, 4 KOs) han augmentat les hostilitats des del dia que es va anunciar el seu enfrontament.

 

 

 

Els dos pesos welter amb seu a Detroit finalment solucionaran les seves diferències en l'esdeveniment principal de vuit rondes divendres, Octubre 26, al MotorCity Casino Hotel.

 

Entrades amb preu entre $180-$25 i estan disponibles a través de Ticketmaster punts de venda.

 

 

 

"Està intentant saltar el conill per sobre de mi, però no està preparat,", va dir un Tyner animat. L'home de 43 anys és conegut com un spoiler sense por i de mandíbula de ferro. Un veterà de 14 anys, Tyner ha estat la distància de 12 rondes amb la superestrella d'elit Canelo Alvarez i campions del món com Lamont Peterson i Antonio DeMarco. També ha eliminat una sèrie de clients potencials que es van adonar massa tard que estaven massa profunds.

 

 

 

"No puc creure que em cridés,", va continuar Tyner. "Rebrà una pallissa. Aquests no són els aficionats i no hi ha dreceres. Aquesta no és la porta per entrar".

 

 

 

Un antic aficionat molt decorat, 21-Chambliss d'un any ha estat impecable, fins ara, com a professional. Amb potència a les dues mans i velocitat superior a la mitjana, Chambliss sembla una cara nova a l'escena de boxa de Motown ressorgida.

 

 

 

"Aquesta lluita és personal per a mi,"Ell va dir. “No per les mateixes raons que el meu oponent; la ira i l'hostilitat no hi tenen res a veure. Per a mi, es tracta de l'energia del risc i del repte. D'això es tracta la vida: 'creixement a través del repte,", així que estic emocionat per aquesta oportunitat".

 

 

 

L'esdeveniment, titulat “Night of Knockouts XIV” és presentat per Carlos Llinas, en cooperació amb Dmitriy Salita.

 

 

 

“Carlos Llinas ha fet una coherència, sèrie d'èxit, que ha servit de base de desenvolupament per a molts noms notables de l'esport,”, Va dir Dmitriy Salita. "Aquest partit entre Chambliss i Tyner és una lluita clàssica de cruïlla, amb un jove, contendent invicte i un veterà provat. Una "guanyada obligada" per a tots dos que sé que oferirà als aficionats. Estic feliç d'estar implicat en el proper esdeveniment i de treballar junts per produir els millors contendents i campions a la ciutat del campionat de Detroit".

 

 

 

"Aquesta és la sèrie número u de boxa i MMA del país que porta nou anys i estic content de treballar amb Salita Promotions en aquest esdeveniment.,” va dir Carlos Llinas. "És bo per als lluitadors i tots els implicats quan els promotors poden treballar entre ells i proporcionar una plataforma perquè els lluitadors assoleixin el següent nivell".

 

 

 

També a la targeta, un dels joves lluitadors més prometedors de l'escena de boxa de Detroit, pes gallo invicte Ja'Rico "Great Lakes King" O'Quinn (9-0-1, 6 KOs), tornarà a l'acció en un combat de sis rondes contra l'antic rival del títol mundial Christian “Italiano” Esquivel de Mèxic (30-15-1, 23 KOs).

 

 

 

El MotorCity Casino Hotel es troba a 2901 Grand River a Detroit. En la nit del combat, portes s'obren a les 6:30 pm i el primer combat comença a les 7 pm. Tots els convidats han de ser com a mínim 21 anys d'edat amb un document d'identitat vàlid amb fotografia.

O’Quinn Continues Climb Against Former World-Title Challenger Christian Esquivel on October 26 a Detroit

Leave a comment

El Divendres, Octubre 26, al MotorCity Casino Hotel, un dels joves lluitadors més prometedors de l'escena de boxa de Detroit, pes gallo invicte Ja'Rico "Great Lakes King" O'Quinn (9-0-1, 6 KOs), tornarà a l'acció en un combat de sis rondes contra l'antic rival del títol mundial Christian “Italiano” Esquivel de Mèxic (30-15-1, 23 KOs).

 

 

 

O’Quinn, who was last seen taking out veteran Yaqub Kareem in four rounds last June in Detroit, enjoys immense popularity in his native Motown. Com amateur, he won the USA National Championship at bantamweight and the 2013 USA Boxing Youth National Championships.

 

 

 

Against Esquivel, però, he will be in tough. The Mexican veteran is a 12-year professional and a former NABF, WBC Continental Americas, WBC Youth Intercontinental, CMB FECOMBOX, and WBC Silver Bantamweight Champion.

 

 

 

“I’m happy to be fighting in Detroit in front of my hometown fans!” said an excited O’Quinn. “I look forward to scoring another impressive victory and putting Detroit on the map as one of the best fight cities in the world.”

 

 

 

O’Quinn’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita, says he’s expecting a lot from his 23-year-old prospect in this fight.

 

 

 

“Ja’Rico O’Quinn is one of the most accomplished US-born professional prospects in boxing right now. His undefeated professional record and numerous national amateur championships speak for themselves. He is taking on another stern test in a very experienced fighter in front of his hometown fans and I am sure it will be another spectacular performance.”

 

 

 

Tickets for the event are priced between $180-$25 i estan disponibles trucant al 718.612.5207. El MotorCity Casino Hotel es troba a 2901 Grand River a Detroit.

Power Punching Shoh Ergashev Wins Again in Russia, Calls Out Brandon Rios, Post-Fight

Leave a comment

Undefeated junior welterweight slugger Shohjahon “Shoh” Ergashev notched another dominating victory on Sunday night, in front of a packed house at the Korston Club Hotel Moscow, a Moscou, Rússia, as he demolished opponent Juma Waswa in four one-sided rounds.

 

 

 

Fighting in the 10-round main event, Uzbekistan-born southpaw Ergashev (ara 13-0, 12 KOs) was even able to drop Uganda’s Waswa for the first and second times ever, before stopping him the first time in his career.

 

 

 

Ergashev showed his versatility, as he dug a lot of punches to the body to lower the defense of his opponent, who was fighting out of a high-hand-raised peekaboo stance. Durant tota la lluita, Waswa (ara 10-3-1, 4 KOs) didn’t manage to land even one clean punch.
