WBA No. 2 Heayweight Contender Michael “The Bounty” Hunter Is Ready to Take on Champion Kubrat Pulev

Gadael sylw

MIAMI, FLA. (Gorffennaf 17, 2025)- WBA Heavyweight contender Michael “The Bounty” Hunter is ready to show the world that he means business in the heavyweight division. Hunter is looking forward to his bout with WBA Heavyweight World Champion Kubrat “The Cobra” Pulev.

The world’s greatest promoter, Don Brenin, who won the $1.1 million purse bid by the WBA and Hunter’s promoter, has stated that it is all systems “go” for the title fight.

While Epic Sports and Entertainment representatives, who embarrassed the WBA at the purse bid, continue to spread lies that Hunter is unavailable for this fight…this fight will be taking place for the WBA Heavyweight Championship.

“Yesterday Don King and Noel Mikaelian slammed Jake Paul, and today, the great Michael Hunter and Don King are in the process of slamming Epic Sports and Entertainment and bringing boxing back to we the people,” said King. “Thank you, Michael; you are truly a smart bounty hunter.

“Michael Hunter and I are inseparable. He is excited about being in the United Kingdom for the fight this week, and he’ll continue to train and get ready to knock out Pulev. He’s been working hard to prepare for this important fight of his career, and he’s looking forward to what follows as well. “He’s ready to prove to the world that he is the true heavyweight champion. Let’s make it happen.”

The Southern California native Hunter (24-1-2, 17 Kos) won the vacant WBA Gold Heavyweight Title in June, taking out Cassius Chaney in a 12-round unanimous decision at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla. In his last fight in December, Hunter registered a fifth-round TKO over Christian Larrondo Garcia in Mexico. Hunter’s only career setback came back in 2017 when he lost a unanimous 12-round decision to current Oleksandr Usyk, who in December beat Tyson Fury to become just the third boxer to become an undisputed world champion in the two weight divisions in the “four-belt era.”

DEERFIELD BEACH, FL (Tachwedd 26, 2021)—Homecoming At Last! The fight for the forgotten people (the homeless, poor, and downtrodden people) will benefit from this championship doubleheader.

The world’s greatest boxing promoter, Don Brenin, will return to his home state of Ohio on Saturday, Jan. 29, 2022, as he presents another blockbuster for the forgotten people, who won’t be forgotten any more, world championship fight pitting WBC Cruiserweight Champion Ilunga Junior Makabu and the number one challenger, WBC Silver Champion Thabiso Mchunu.

The WBC world championship fight for the love of the people, will be held at the W.D. Packard Music Hall in Warren, OH. In addition to Makabus-Mchunu, a special 10-round heavyweight sensational attraction will pit undefeated Jonathan Guidry (18-0-2, 10 Kos) of Dulac, Louisiana risking his perfect record against Alonzo Butler (34-3-2, 25 Kos) of Chattanooga, TN.

Brenin, who represents Makabu, came to an agreement with Mchunu’s representatives on the 12-round world championship fight, and the winner will advance to fight Mexico’s great champion Canelo Alvarez in the month of May.

Alvarez will be ringside in Warren, OH to see who his next opponent will be.

“This is going to be one action packed WBC world championship fight with a very big fight on the horizon for the winner,” said King. “They are both warriors and this war for the recognition of the homeless will start the new year in grand style, recognizing the homeless, and helping others.”

Makabu (28-2 gyda 25 Kos) is from the Democratic Republic of The Congo, defended his championship in his hometown of Kinshasa as he stopped Nigeria’s Olanrewaju Durodola with two solid left hooks in the seventh round last December.

Makabu, who has won his last nine decisions, won the vacant title on Jan. 31, 2020 in winning a unanimous decision against Michael Cieslak.

Thabiso (23-5, 13 Kos), who hails from South Africa and is nicknamed “The Rock”, became the WBC Silver Titlist with a unanimous decision over Denis Lebedev on Dec. 21, 2019. He last defended his title and scored another unanimous victory over Evgeny Tishchenko on March 27, 2021. Thabiso has won his last four fights.

DON KING DEMANDS HEAVYWEIGHT CHRISTOPHER LOVEJOY TO NOT FIGHT MAHMOUD CHARR ON MAY 15 IN GERMANY

Gadael sylw

Deerfield Beach, Fla. (Ebrill 19, 2021)—Hall of Fame boxing promoter Don King has sent a Cease & Desist letter to undefeated heavyweight boxer Christopher Lovejoy, claiming he is under an exclusive promotional agreement with Don King Promotions and not permitted to enter any future fights without King’s consent.

Recent media reports have stated that Lovejoy is currently in Germany and has agreed to face the WBA champion in recess Mahmoud Charr on May 15 in Hamburg, Yr Almaen.

Trevor Bryan recently won the WBA heavyweight title after Charr disregarded the WBA and was not allowed in the United States due to Homeland Security visa denial of the Syrian.

The letter demands that Lovejoy (19-0, 19 Kos), who had previously announced his retirement from boxing, not participate in the bout with Charr or any other future bout or opponent.

“It is unconscionable, illegal, and unethical for you to participate in this May 15, 2021 bout or any bout without DKP’s expressed, written permission and consent,” the letter from King’s lawyer’s states. “Participating in any bout without DKP’s expressed written consent is … willfully breaching the Promotional Agreement and exposes those you have entered into agreement with for your services as a professional fighter to extreme legally liability, as they too are aware that you are under contract to DKP.”

The letter goes on to state, “If you have in fact signed to fight Charr as you proclaim and has been reported in these media reports, you have intentionally, willfully, and maliciously breached your exclusive, world-wide promotional agreement with DKP.”

Lovejoy, 37, lives and trains in Las Vegas. Mae pob 19 of Lovejoy’s pro fights since February of 2016 have taken place in Tijuana, Mecsico.

(L-R) presenter Vinny Maddalone & 2019 NYSBHOF inductee Bob Jackson

Regilio Tuur: “I was a black kid from Holland fighting in the Olympics. Pretty much a nobody fighting the U.S. pencampwr. They bought my return plane ticket before I even fought because they though my opponent was unbelievable. I trained to fight him, a southpaw, for a year and had a big fight hand that nobody knew of. I wanted to come to American and make by father proud. I retired from the pros) undefeated and make a lot money. I’m honored today. I had a great manager, Stan Hoffman, who is a man who made us men. Standing here today is a dream.”

Monte Barrett: “Congratulations to everybody up here. There’s so much history in this room. I’ve been in boxing 18 years and have a select memory, but there have been so many amazing experiences and accomplishments. I love this guy (trainer Jimmy Glenn). A lot of managers don’t even ask how you’re doing. My manager was the great Stan Hoffman. He gave me $50,000, $3000 a month and another $1000 for insurance without a contract. Stan said: ‘How you doing? I believe in you and love you.’ Yn 2005, I was having an argument with Don King about money. Dywedodd, ‘Life is a negotiation.’ Wel, I’m negotiating now, and I’m in the Hall of Fame.”

Arthur Mercante, Jr: “What a great honor it is to be recognized by Ring 8 and the boxing community. Yn 2012, my dad was inducted into the New York Boxing Hall of Fame Now he’s looking down today and he’s so proud. I entered the Golden Gloves at the age of 17. Un the quarterfinals I lost to a great fighter and Hall of Famer, Juan LaPorte. Like any boxer, I thought that I had won, and wanted aa rematch. My father told me I didn’t like road work and just lost a three-round fight. He asked if I’d like to be a referee. I started in 1979 and my father made me work five years before turning pro. I went on to ref so many great fights, including one on the same card with my father at Radio City Music Hall. My greatest fight was Lennox Lewis versus Evander Holyfield.”

I worked 23 years for Showtime Championship Boxing, o 1987-2010, and the most dramatic was Corrales-Castillo I, one of the greatest fights of all time. I got the see the world because of boxing, but it was the lighter moments I remember most. Only in boxing do you have these characters and amazing experiences.”

Don Brenin: “Only in America, hawl? I’m happy to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. O got into boxing with Muhammad Ali for his first fight and he stayed with me.

Arthur Mercante, Jr. i ymuno â thad yn Oriel Anfarwolion Bocsio Talaith Efrog Newydd

Gadael sylw

Arthur Mercante, Jr. oedd y trydydd dyn yn y cylch ar gyfer y mis Mawrth 13, 1999 ymladd teitl pwysau trwm y byd yng Ngardd Madison Square rhwng Evander Holyfield a Lennox Louis a ddaeth i ben mewn gêm gyfartal

Dydd Sul, Ebrill 28, Cinio Sefydlu

Don Brenin, Jimmy Cannon, Jimmy Carter & Dosbarth pennawd Wilfredo Benitez Dosbarth o 2019 inductees


NEW YORK (Mawrth 20, 2019) – Dyfarnwr bocsio rhyngwladol Arthur Mercante, Jr. yn ymuno â'i dad, y diweddar Arthur Mercante, Sr., yn Oriel Anfarwolion Bocsio Talaith Efrog Newydd (NYSBHOF) i ddod y tad-mab cyntaf a ymsefydlwyd yn y NYSBHOF.

Dosbarth 24 aelod 2019 yn cael ei sefydlu yn wythfed cinio sefydlu blynyddol NYSBHOF ar Prynhawn Sul (12:30-5:30 p.m. A), Ebrill 28, yn Russo yn On The Bay ym Traeth Howard, Efrog Newydd.

Masnachwr, Jr. yn focsiwr amatur a gollodd yn y 1976 Menig Aur Efrog Newydd i Juan LaPorte (Hyfforddwr NYSBHOF, dosbarth 2014). “Roeddwn i'n teimlo fy mod i'n ei guro, ac roeddwn i eisiau troi'n pro,” Masnachwr, Jr. esboniodd sut y dechreuodd weinyddu. “Dywedodd fy nhad ddim cyhyd ag y bûm yn byw yn ei dŷ, ond awgrymodd y dylwn geisio cyfeirio.”

Masnachwr, Jr. dechrau dyfarnu i mewn 1979 yn yr amaturiaid a symud i fyny i'r rhengoedd pro i mewn 1984. Mae wedi cyfeirio 336 ymladd, Gan gynnwys 72 ymladd teitl. Masnachwr, Jr. mae ganddo atgofion hyfryd, gan gynnwys stori ddigrif lle cafodd ei ddyrnu ar ddamwain.

“Roeddwn i'n cyfeirio ymladd (ymladd teitl pwysau canolig byd unedig, ar Jan. 14, 2017 yng Nghanolfan Barclay’s yn Brooklyn) rhwng Badou Jack ac James DeGale,” Masnachwr, Jr. cofio. “Clywais y rhybudd 10 eiliad ar ddiwedd y chweched rownd a dechrau cyfrif 5-4-3-2-1. Ar yr un pryd, Fe darodd Jack fi yn ei wyneb gyda bachyn chwith, a llithrais. Gofynnodd Beau imi a oeddwn yn iawn. Dywedais fy mod yn iawn. Yn ddiweddarach, dywedodd ei fod wedi fy nharo ag ergyd dda a fy mod yn berchen ar ergyd dda iddo. Ar ôl y frwydr, dywedodd wrthyf y gallaf gymryd ergyd dda.”

Masnachwr, Jr. credai mai'r allwedd i fod yn ganolwr da yw torri diffoddwyr mewn clinigau ac aros allan o'r llun, oherwydd nid yw ymladd yn ymwneud â'r dyfarnwr.

Un o eiliadau mwyaf cofiadwy ei yrfa oedd gweithio'r un sioe â'i dad, a oedd 81 amser, am y tro cyntaf yn 1981 yn Neuadd Gerdd Radio City yn Ninas Efrog Newydd. Gweithiodd Tad y prif ddigwyddiad rhwng Roy Jones, Jr. ac David Telesco, Masnachwr, Jr. trin ymladd rhwng David Izon ac Derrick Jefferson.


Nawr, Masnachwr, Jr. yn mynd i mewn i'r NYSBHOF i ymuno â'i dad. “Wnes i erioed feddwl y byddwn i mewn unrhyw Oriel Anfarwolion,” Masnachwr, Jr. Dywedodd. “Pan ddaeth yr alwad Ionawr 27ain (2019) o Bob Duffy (Llywydd NYBHOF), ni allai fod wedi dod mewn diwrnod mwy arbennig, oherwydd byddai fy nhad wedi troi 99 y diwrnod hwnnw.

“Mae'n anrhydedd, yn enwedig mynd i mewn gyda'r dosbarth hwn. Gweithiais ymladd rhwng Michael Olajide a Iran Barkley ac mae Michael yn dod i mewn eleni. Don Brenin, wrth gwrs, a gweithiais lawer o sioeau gyda Wayne Kelly. Ring 8 wedi bod yn sefydliad gwych erioed. Hoffwn ddiolch i bawb a gymerodd ran.”

Undefeated Heavyweights Joe Joyce Knocks Out Bermane Stiverne In SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® Opener

LONDON – February 23, 2019 - Chris Eubank Jr. earned a career-defining victory with a hard-fought unanimous decision over British rival and former two-time world champion James DeGale in a super middleweight grudge match Saturday on SHOWTIME from The O2 in London.



Eubank, the son of British boxing legend and former two-division world champion Chris Eubank Sr., floored DeGale twice en route to the clear decision, a gafodd ei sgorio 114-112, 115-112, 117-109. UCHAFBWYNTIAU FIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2E6mWI8



Working in his first bout with a full-time trainer, Eubank fought a controlled fight. The former world title challenger floored DeGale in a rough moment in the second, stunning his rival with a big left hook against the ropes and flooring him moments later with a strong right cross that sent DeGale to the canvas for just the second fight of his career.



DeGale, who established his championship career as a slick southpaw, was unable to jab at range and couldn’t handle the constant pressure from Eubank. The former Olympic Gold Medalist resorted to lunging from the outside and was largely ineffective on the inside, often clinching while in close quarters.



“I knew he was going to come at me like that,” Eubank said. “He’s a slick southpaw, but my game plan worked. Smart pressure and not getting too ahead of myself. He’s a hell of a fighter, hell of a competitor but at the end of the day my head and my heart won this fight.”



“There was a lot of animosity leading to this fight. Rwy'n dweud wrtho, ‘This is my time,’ and it was. He’s a veteran of the game, he throws big shots and he manages to stay up. To get up after those knockdowns is a statement about his tenacity and the type of fighter he is.”



The second knockdown came in the 10fed as Eubank landed a powerful left hook that buckled DeGale with just 30 eiliad ar ôl yn y rownd. Unwaith eto, DeGale tried to clinch to avoid the knockdown, but his hand touched the canvas and was ruled just the third knockdown of his career.



Ar ôl y frwydr, DeGale, who was the first British fighter to earn an Olympic Gold Medal and a world championship, appeared to be leaning toward retirement.



“I definitely I didn’t do enough,” DeGale said. “He was on it and I didn’t do enough. You have to do more than enough to counter someone that came forward like Chris.



“I’m going to go back and talk to my team, fy nheulu, and decide. I left my mark in boxing. I won an Olympic Medal, two world titles and it may be the time to hang it up.”



While DeGale contemplates retirement, Eubank has his sights set on another shot at a world title.



“This was the most important fight of my career, and I made a statement. I’m back where I’m supposed to be, at the top of the food chain. I’m coming for all the belts in the middleweight and super middleweight division. I’m fighting everyone they put in front of me.



“I’m glad to make my American debut here on SHOWTIME. I’m glad to be introduced to the American public this way – making a statement.”



Yn yr ornest agoriadol y doubleheader Showtime PENCAMPWRIAETH BOCSIO, undefeated heavyweight Joe Joyce kept his knockout record intact with a sixth-round TKO of former heavyweight world champion Bermane Stiverne.



After an exciting first round, Joyce opened up the action in the second with a monstrous straight right and unloaded from bell to bell against a defenseless Stiverne, who continued to punch back despite eating damaging shots. After a series of combos in the opening minute of the third, Joyce caught Stiverne with a straight right hand to send him to the canvas for the fifth time in his professional career. Stiverne survived the round while throwing looping shots but failed to return any meaningful punches.



Joyce, y 2016 Olympic Silver Medalist, consistently set up a powerful straight right behind an accurate and effective left jab throughout the fight. With Joyce (8-0, 8 Kos) continuing to tee off against a largely defenseless Stiverne, referee Howard Foster stepped in to halt the contest at 2:26 of the sixth. Stiverne (25-4-1, 21 Kos) did not protest the stoppage.



“Big respect to Stiverne – like a true champion, he’s very tough and was still throwing shots, but I guess I was just a bit too much,” Joyce said. “It was about being patient. He’s such a tough guy that he took those shots no problem.



“I was hitting him with everything I had, including the kitchen sink. I listened to Abel (Sanchez) in the corner, did everything he said and it went well. My jab was really effective. I’m a seasoned vet. I picked up my poise and remained calm along the way.



“Big things are coming. My next one will be for the WBA Regular (Teitl) and I’ll be back in the gym soon. I need to have a couple more fights like this and then I’ll be ready for the big champions.”



Highlights of former world champion Lee Selby’s lightweight debut were featured during Saturday’s telecast. A former champion at featherweight, Selby (27-2, 9 Kos) overcame a second round accidental head butt to win a 12-round unanimous decision (116-112, 116-112, 115-114) over Omar Douglas (19-3, 13 Kos).



An encore presentation of Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader will air tonight/Saturday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME, Sunday at 9 a.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME and Monday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME.



Veteran broadcaster Brian Custer hosted the doubleheader from London with versatile combat sportscaster Mauro Ranallo calling the action ringside alongside Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein. Two Hall of Famers rounded out today’s telecast team – Emmy® award winning reporter Jim Gray and world-renowned ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr. The Executive Producer was David Dinkins Jr. with Rick Phillips directing. Saturday’s telecast was a co-production with ITV.
