I would also like to thank RIZIN for their help in making this event a possibility and we look forward to working together in the near future to showcase the best talent each organization has to offer.”

A former PRIDE FC Heavyweight Champion and PRIDE 2004 Heavyweight World Grand Prix Champion, “The Last Emperor” returns to where his career started. Often referred to as “The GOAT” by fans around the world, his career resume stands as one of the most impressive in the history of the sport with victories over Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira, Mirko Cro Cop, Mark Hunt, Mark Coleman and Andrei Arlovski, da navedemo samo neke. Sa 29 career victories ending via finish, the punching power and world-class Sambo of the stoic Russian could result in yet another defining moment in his illustrious career.



An eight-fight veteran of Bellator, “Rampage” Jackson’s legendary career has seen him compete against some of the top names in the sport, generating a loyal army of fans along the way. The former PRIDE and UFC champion is the proud owner of many epic highlight reel slams and knockouts that he has racked up throughout his epic battles with the likes of Chuck Liddell, Dan Henderson, "Kralj Mo" Lawal, Kevin Randleman and, perhaps most-notably, his four-fight series with Wanderlei Silva. The Memphis, Tennessee-native has long been seen as an icon to MMA fans around the globe and has openly voiced a desire to face Fedor in front of a Japanese crowd before his career comes to an end. Sada, the two legends will finally meet inside the Bellator cage on December 29 at the famed Saitama Super Arena.

Lagani Keyshawn Davis priprema se za kopanje zlata sljedeće godine u Japanu 2020 Olimpijske igre


COLORADO SPRINGS, Krilo. (Maj 20, 2019) – Tim SAD lagan Keyshawn Davis čitav svoj mladi život pripremao se za predstavljanje svoje zemlje na Olimpijskim igrama. Ako sve bude išlo po planu i bude išlo po rasporedu, Norfolk, Rodom iz Virginije boksat će zlato sljedeće godine u Japanu.


Dvadesetogodišnji Davis, ko se bavi sportom 110-15 amaterski zapis, gomila medalje tako zastrašujućim tempom da mu je očajnički potrebno da proširi svoju vitrinu. Dvostruki je Elite National (2017-18) i dvostruki nacionalni PAL (2013-14) prvak, kao i osvajač zlatne medalje na 2017 Eastern Elite Qualifier, 2017 Youth Open i 2017 National Golden Gloves.

Međunarodno, napravio je ozbiljnu štetu, suviše. Vrhunac njegove amaterske karijere, izlaziti s, osvaja zlato na prošlogodišnjem turniru Strandja u Bugarskoj. Davis je nedavno uhvatio srebro na 2019 Pan-American Games Qualifier u Nikaragvi, pored 2018 Kup hemije u Njemačkoj.

“Osvojio sam svoju prvu međunarodnu zlatnu medalju u Bugarskoj,” Davis se složio da je to vrhunac njegove amaterske karijere. “Takođe sam izabran za Najizvrsnijeg boksera.”

Njegova pobjeda na 2018 Državljani SAD-a kvalificirali su ga za 2020 Olimpijska ispitivanja za boks, dok ga je njegovo srebro na kvalifikacijama za Pan American Games kvalificiralo za Pan American Games (27. jula - avgusta 2) Lima, Peru. Ove godine će se natjecati i na elitnom Svjetskom prvenstvu za muškarce (Sedam. 7-21) u Jekaterinburgu, Rusija.

“Kvalificiranje za olimpijsko suđenje za mene zaista nije bilo puno postignuće jer se očekivalo,” Primijetio je Davis. “Za mene je to bio ulazak u tim SAD-a, opet i ovo mi je druga godina u timu.

“Ne postoji pravo takmičenje za mene da bih se plasirao u američki olimpijski bokserski tim. Moja posljednja borba u The Nationalsu bila je mali izazov (vs. Dalis Kaleiopu), jer sam se okliznuo i ustao.”

Na Panameričkim igrama, Davis bi se vrlo dobro mogao suočiti s kubanskim bokserom koji ga je pobijedio rezultatom 3-2 na Pan American Games Qualifieru, Andy Cruz, postavljanje mogućeg meča gume između dva elitna boksera sljedeće godine na Olimpijskim igrama.

“Postoji vrlo dobra šansa da se ponovo borimo na Pan-Am igrama, najvjerovatnije u Japanu, kao,” Dodao je Davis. “Moramo pobijediti u dva kola da bismo se plasirali u finale, a ja da se osvetim. Cruz ima puno više međunarodnog iskustva od mene. On je 26 godine i svjetski prvak u našoj težinskoj klasi.”

Davis je počeo boksati kad je imao devet godina kada, umoran od Keyshawna i njegova dva brata koji se međusobno bore i u školi, majka ga je pitala žele li u teretanu da nauče boksati. Jesu i danas, njegov stariji (Kelvin) i mlađi (Keon) braća su takođe bokseri amateri.

Nedugo nakon toga upoznao se Troy Isley, koji je kolega član tima USA, a danas su bliski kao braća.

“Troya sam sreo natrag, nakon što sam prvi put počeo boksati,” Davis se sjetio. “Našli bismo se na nacionalnim i drugim turnirima i družili se s mojom braćom. Moj trener je otišao u penziju, pa sam otišao u Troyovu teretanu (Aleksandrija, VA) i počeo raditi s Coachom Kej (Koroma, Američki pomoćni nacionalni trener boksa). Približavamo se svom snu (predstavljanje SAD-a na Olimpijskim igrama) koja je započela toliko davno, čini se nestvarnim približavati se. Možete očekivati ​​da se dva boksera iz Virginije vrate iz Japana sa zlatnim medaljama. Mi smo poput braće.”

“Trener Kay me prvi put stjerao u kut kad sam bio 13. Odličan je trener koji želi da uspijemo u životu, ne samo u ringu. Želi najbolje za nas. Imamo jednu od najboljih američkih. bokserske ekipe dugo vremena i to će se prikazati u Japanu. Uvijek si pomažemo i ovo je trenutno vrlo uzbudljivo vrijeme za nas.”

Još jedan bliski Keyshawn-ov prijatelj je, 2018 Srebrne olimpijske medalje Shakur Stevenson, koji je prošao kroz ono što se Keyshawn približava, i sada je na nivou profesionalne perspektive do koje Davis teži doseći.

“Shakur me uvijek podržavao,” Davis je nastavio. “Mnogo razgovaramo. Pošteno, teško mi je ne razmišljati o tome da se profesionalno okrenem, jer će moja amaterska karijera biti gotova nakon Olimpijskih igara. Oduvijek su me učili da imam plan, pa sam se pripremao, poslovno, istražujući moje mogućnosti (menadžer i promotor), i ostati na dobrom putu od amatera do profesionalaca.”

Da nije bokser, Davis misli da bi bio realtor, ali temeljito uživa u životu boksača.

“Ovo je bilo sjajno iskustvo,” Davis je govorio o svojoj amaterskoj boksačkoj karijeri, “posebno ove godine pripremajući se za Pan AM-ove. Imao sam prilike putovati i upoznavati ljude, ali najbolji dio je biti dio ovakvog tima. Boks je individualni sport, ali, izvan ringa, uvijek navaljujemo jedni na druge.

“Zahvaljujem Bogu svaki dan kad ustanem što me je stavio u ovu poziciju. Sve što želim je osigurati sebe i svoju porodicu. U mojim godinama, Ja sam ispred utakmice.”

Brand-New IBF Junior Featherweight Champion Jonathan Guzman to be Ringside Friday at Foxwoods

IBF Junior Featherweight Champion Jonathan “Salomon King” Guzman (22-0, 22 KOs) won’t be taking any time to rest on his newly acquired laurels.
The Dominican KO artist won his first world championship yesterday (Srijeda, Juli 20) by stopping former #1 contender Shingo Wake in 11 brutal rounds in Osaka, Japan. Guzman’s power was simply too much for Wake, who fell four times before the end came at 2:16 from merciful referee Wayne Hedgpeth.
The iron-fisted Dominican could easily spend the rest of the summer celebrating the victory, but has no intention to do so.
He is quickly flying home from Japan in order to be ringside sutra (Petak, Juli 22) na Foxwoods Resort u Mashantucket, Konektikat, to watch San Antonio’s Adam Lopez face Argentina’s Roman Ruben Reynoso on ShoBox: The New Generation.
Guzman’s intention is to face the winner of that fight in his first title defense.
His promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing, says Guzman’s victory has only created a new mission for the Dominican slugger.
He wants to clean out the division now,” rekao Lewkowicz. “We told him to enjoy the victory for himself and his country, but he wants to go right back to work. That is the determination and love for what he does that has made him an undefeated champion with a perfect knockout record. I congratulate him for his first world title and for his commitment to be a true world champion.

DOMINICAN KO ARTIST GUZMAN READY FOR FIRST WORLD TITLE SHOT

IBF #2 super bantamweight contender Jonathan “Salomon King” Guzman (21-0, 21 KOs) is hard at work preparing for thefight of his lifewith trainer Hector Bermudez at Peter Welch’s Gym in Boston.

Guzman, who stopped Mexico’s tough Daniel Rosas in eighth round on April 29 to earn this fight, says his dreams are so close to coming true he can almost taste them. “I have waited my whole life for a world title fight and now it’s almost here,” said Guzman. “I can’t wait to get in the ring and win for my family and my country.
Trainer Bermudez says Guzman has too many weapons to fall short in this fight. “Although Jonathan has never had to go the distance because his power is amazing, he can also box very well. He’s just never had to thus far in his career. Jonathan is the complete package and soon the world will be learning all about him. There is no way that Wake can beat him.
