VLADIMIR TIKHONOV MAKING PROGRESS UP THE RATINGS LADDER; RUSSIAN IS LUCKY NO. 13 IN WBA

Brooklyn, Nova York (Juny 15, 2016)– Rus Vladimir Tikhonov, a super bantamweight contender, is the latest signee to the Dmitriy Salita promotional slate. And it looks like the timing is right for the Brooklyner Salita, with word out that this Russian hitter is making his way up the ratings ladder.
Tikhonov (14-0 amb 8 KOs) has entered the WBA world rankings at No. 13.

Es va convertir en professional en 2008, has fought once outside Russia, and Salita is looking to get him some more passport stamps.

A left-hander, Tikhonov is methodical and busy. He is active with his feet and can sting with both hands. Opponents need to be wary of him slipping punches in from underneath. He is ultra calm in the ring, s'interposa en, gets off and gets out.

Vladimir is a talented boxer who has lots of experience and potential to compete with the best in the world,” said the Brooklyn based promoter, who is putting together an Agost. 19 show in Rochester, NY to be headlined by Jarrell Miller. “Tikhonov is world ranked now and I will be looking to land a significant fight for him in the near future. He wants the toughest tests, like Guillermo Rigondeaux (the WBA super bantam champion; Moises Flores holds their interim title), Scott Quigg and Nonito Donaire. He is yet another Russian warrior, with fighting in his blood!”

Promoter Salita has climbed the mountain himself as a fighter, pastar una 35-2-1 mark as a professional within the welterweight class. He has kicked off successful fight series in NYC, and now Detroit, and word is spreading that his efforts as an effective promoter are informed by his having experienced what it’s like to campaign in the ring. Salita is planning the aforementioned NY show, as well as a return to Detroit, for the third “Detroit Brawl.”

Salita Promotions is poised to have a very strong second half of 2016, and our athletes such as Tikhonov will keep on being featured on premium broadcast channels,” Paraula dir. “Our stable is strong, and growing all the time!”

El pes creuer Emilio Salas a punt per representar Nova York vs. Detroit a 'Detroit Brawl’ Acte principal d'aquest dissabte

Després de ser noquejat un minut i mig del seu debut en boxa professional, El pes creuer Emilio Salas s'havia de preguntar si un canvi de carrera estava en ordre.
Però Salas es va treure la vergonya, i quan ell i l'ara promès Krystal Velez es van traslladar a Yonkers, Nova York, i es va connectar amb l'entrenador José Guzmán, la fortuna va començar a canviar.
Sales (5-1-1, 3 KOs) no ha perdut cap baralla des de llavors i ara apareix en el seu primer esdeveniment principal, un esdeveniment principal de sis rondes de pes creuer contra els Demetrius Banks de Detroit (6-0, 4 KOs) el dissabte de maig 14, en Bancs’ pati del darrere del temple maçònic al centre de Detroit.
La parella encapçalarà el promotor Dmitriy Salita “Detroit Brawl” esdeveniment que també inclou un esdeveniment co-principal de sis rondes entre el pes gallo invicte James Gordon Smith (9-0, 6 KOs) i el mexicà Pablo Cupul (8-19, 5 KOs).
Les entrades per “Detroit Brawl” estan a la venda ara i tenen un preu de $28, $38, $63, $93, $100 i $123. Ells estan disponibles a tots els punts de venda de Ticketmaster, ticketmaster.com, trucant 800-745-3000, o visitant la taquilla del temple maçònic.
“He millorat molt amb els entrenadors d'aquí i he tingut molt més èxit,” va admetre Salas. “Sóc un zurt amb mans ràpides i em moc bé i copo fort amb les dues mans. Però una de les meves coses més grans que tinc és el cor. Has de voler lluitar i tenir cor i jo ho faig.”
Tot i que diu que no sap molt de Banks, Salas diu que està bé perquè prefereix trobar un oponent al ring. “Normalment un cop hi entro, Puc dir quines són les debilitats d'un lluitador. Està invicte i jo lluitaré a la seva ciutat natal, però la gent contra la qual he lluitat gairebé totes ha estat invicta i els he vençut, així que això no és res diferent i no tinc por de lluitar contra ell a Detroit. La majoria de les meves baralles són al pati del meu oponent. Jo realment no sabia què esperar. M'estic entrenant dur i espero que sigui el millor.”
El sobrenom de Salas al ring és “El Jibaro,” que és argot per a un country hick. “Em diuen així perquè vaig néixer i vaig créixer a una zona de Puerto Rico on hi ha molt bosc i no hi ha moltes cases i la gent és una mica pobre.. Vol dir que sóc de la selva. M'agrada fer coses reals de Puerto Rico, com treballar amb animals i muntar a cavall. M'encanta Puerto Rico i dedico tot el meu; lluita a la meva família i al poble de Puerto Rico. El meu objectiu és guanyar un títol mundial per poder portar-lo de tornada a la meva ciutat natal a PR i demostrar que la meva primera lluita no va ser l'última.. Vull mostrar-los que el que vulgueu fer a la vida ho podeu fer si treballeu prou.”
Salas va cridar l'atenció del promotor Dmitriy Salita a principis de l'any passat, lluitant per un empat contra un dels lluitadors de Salita, Ytalo Perea, un antic olímpic.
“Emilio té un talent molt natural,” Said Paraula. “Només tenia aproximadament 20 baralles amateurs i set com a professional i ja és un molt bon lluitador. Si continua desenvolupant-se i millorant, aviat es convertirà en una força de la divisió.”

BELGIAN BOXER ALEX MISKIRTCHIAN GETS FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE SHOT

PROMOTER SALITA BACKS FEATHERWEIGHT CONTENDER
Brooklyn, Nova York (Març 16, 2016)Even the very best in the business experience setbacks and get faced with choice time. Can I learn from my mistake and turn a negative into a positive?
Alex Miskirtchian found himself enjoying his momentum up the featherweight ladder before he hit a pothole in the road last summer. The Georgia-born fighter with a 26-4-1 mark got caught by vet Cornelius Lock and had to assess himself.

He did so, and licked his wounds and got back to work. The Belgium resident, who has mostly fought in his home-land, rebounded with a win in December and is being rewarded for his perseverance with an IBF intercontinental championship opportunity.

Miskirtchian, promoted by Brooklyn’s Dmitriy Salita, will fight Vireol Simion on Març 18, for a crack at that crown.

Alex is fighting for a title but more importantly for a chance to come back to the top of the division,” Paraula dir.

He learned from his US experience, against Lock, took a break and came back with extra motivation to again make a world title run. I believe Alex will put on one of his best performances in this upcoming fight. He has a great team with manager Alain Vanackère and I believe the result will be a positive one on March 18th.”

The fight against the 19-1 Romanian Viorel will unfold in Bucharest, the capital of Romania, so Miskirtchian will need to fight his best brand of boxing that evening. El seu promotor, Paraula, has faith in him.

Salita Promotions boxers are making more and more noise, around the world,” the promoter said. “I am proud of our growth and of the efforts of the fine athletes like Miskirtchian who fight for Salita Promotions!”

Fighter/Promoter Salita Says Detroit Was the Obvious Choice for Upcoming Series of Professional Boxing Shows

Detroit Brawl Banner
"Brawl de Detroit’ Begins Dissabte, Febrer 6, at the Masonic Temple
I strongly feel that Detroit has a lot of potential to become a hub for pro boxing. Not only with its own talented fighters, but also for boxers from around the country and around the globe. With consistency, competitive fights and talented boxers there’s a tremendous amount of potential for world-class boxing in the city of Detroit. Dmitriy Salita
World-class boxer turned promoter Dmitriy Salita, de Salita Promotions, says the choice to base his new series of live fights in Detroit was an easy one to make. A city and state that has produced such all-time greats as Floyd Mayweather, Tommy Hearns and Joe Louis to name a few, as well as legendary trainers such Emanuel Steward and Eddie Futch is, according to Salita, the perfect place to launch a succession of top-notch boxing shows.

Detroit is America’s great comeback city and boxing fans love a comeback,” Said Paraula, who once challenged for a world title and currently sports a 35-2-1, 18 KOs record as a fighter. “This city has some of the best homegrown boxers in the country and the world and we plan to highlight those talents throughout this series. I thought it was a natural to run consistent high-class show here. Detroit and the State of Michigan, as a whole, have a rich boxing culture: The boxing fans here will respond positively. And for the local up-and-comers, they will have a place close to home to build a fan base.
Though he is Ukraine-born and Brooklyn-raised, Salita has a long history with the area, having trained here since early in his fighting career.
I’ve been coming to Detroit for six years, to train at the Kronk Gym with Emanuel Steward and Sugar Hill, his nephew,” explained Salita. “I got a chance firsthand to see the Detroit boxing culture and witness its tremendous talent!”
33-year-old Salita started boxing at age 13 at Starret City Boxing Club in Brooklyn, Nova York, and went on to become a highly decorated amateur boxer before his professional career. “At the time I started boxing, the Starrett City Boxing Club was run by Jimmy O’Pharrow. It was one of the best gyms in New York City. It produced some of the best fighters in the world today. We all came up together and had ‘fights of the yearsparring sessions almost every night. The competitive nature of those sparring sessions are what made me so successful in boxing, and when I came here to the Kronk gym I witnessed that same atmosphere.
Still an active fighter, after losing his challenge to world champion Amir Khan in 2009, Salita says he looked around at his options and decided that with his strong fan base, becoming a promoter was a natural progression. Salita says he’s proud of diversity and talent level he’s been able to provide for the inaugural show of the series.
I like that this show has several of Detroit’s up-and-coming stars and boxers from different places around the world as well. Junior Wright is world-ranked and one of the best cruiserweights in the world. He’s looking to get back to another world title shot. Eudy Bernardo, an undefeated lightweight prospect from the Dominican Republic, is looking to rise to the top of the division. And the Detroit fighters are some of the best including James Ballard, Eddie Williams and James Gordon Smith, a former national champion in the amateurs. Antonio Wade is another hot prospect from the Detroit area. We’ve also got Asian games gold medalist Serdar Hudayberdiyev making his pro debut. He’s already the greatest fighter his country has ever produced. People are flying out from Turkmenistan to see the fight. I’m very excited about this show and for the future of boxing in this great city!”
