PARIGI, Francia (Aprile 18, 2021) - Campione Europeo Super Featherweight Samir Ziani (32-3-1, 7 KO) ha gridato Tevin "American Idol" Farmer (30-5-1, 6 KO), ex Campione Mondiale Super Featherweight della Federazione Internazionale di Pugilato, per combattere June 5th per la cintura d'argento WBC in un Consiglio mondiale di boxe (WBC) eliminazione lotta. Il vincitore si posizionerebbe per una lotta per il titolo contro il campione del mondo WBC Oscar Valdez.

La battaglia dei pesi piuma super mancini sarebbe stata a giugno 5th Carta pay-per-view Triller in Florida, titolato dall'imbattuto campione mondiale dei pesi leggeri Teofimo Lopez (16-0) vs. George Kambosos, Jr. (19-0), supportato da una mostra di lotta tra il 4 volte campione del mondo dei pesi massimi Evander Holyfield e Mike Tysonconquistatore Kevin McBride.

Secondo il manager di Ziani Gary Hyde, è stato offerto l'eliminatore WBC contro Farmer e il francese ha subito accettato, mentre tutto è stato tranquillo da Farmer.

"" Ero entusiasta di combattere Farmer in un grande spettacolo di Triller,”Ha detto Ziani, “Soprattutto perché è il mio sogno vincere un titolo mondiale negli Stati Uniti. “Sono sorpreso di sentire che Farmer ha tirato fuori la nostra battaglia, ma suppongo che sappia che la sua boxe sta scivolando verso il basso.

"Voglio te, Contadino! Accetta la lotta e sii un vero guerriero. Non scappare da me. Voglio boxare nella capitale della boxe, gli Stati Uniti, per mostrare ai fan americani cosa posso fare. Dicono che sei un tecnico, Ti mostrerò che sono un vero guerriero. L'anello è per veri uomini con l'ambizione di battere i migliori, non box i più deboli, e allora, diamo vero valore e rispettiamo la nostra nobile arte della boxe. "

Classificato n. 11 dal WBC, nonché No. 9 nella Federazione Internazionale di Boxe (IBF), il 30enne Ziani è il campione europeo in carica dell'EBU, cavalcando una serie di 10 vittorie consecutive. Nel suo più recente lotta (Sette. 5, 2020) e seconda difesa del titolo, Ziani ha lasciato cadere una sanguinosa Alex dilmaghian (19-1-1) tre volte in rotta verso a 12th round vinto per KO tecnico con 9 secondi rimasti in quello che era un candidato al Fight of the Year.

L'ultima sconfitta di Ziani è stata 4 ½ anni fa a sfidante per il titolo mondiale e compagno francese,Guillaume Frenois (41-1), da un margine sottile come un rasoio, 115-113 tre volte, a Parigi. All'inizio della sua carriera, Ziani ha anche subito una disputa sconfitta di 10 round per decisione (97-93, 96-94, 96-94) in Danimarca all'attuale campione del mondo IBF dei pesi leggeri Richard Commey (18-0) in 2014.

“Ziani è un combattente di tutte le azioni con un ritmo di lavoro enorme,"Ha aggiunto Hyde, con sede in Irlanda. "Sarebbe un incontro allettante tra due mancini di talento con il vincitore che continuerà a lottare per il titolo mondiale WBC".

Il presidente di NoWhere2Hyde Management, Hyde ha gestito numerosi pugili di livello mondiale durante la sua carriera, inclusi campioni del mondo Guillermo Rigondeaux,Youri Kalenga e Simpiwe Vetyeaka.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Giro. (Giugno 11, 2018) – USA Boxing’s “Alumni Association Membership Drive Month” got off to a knockout start this past weekend in Canastota, New York, at the annual International Boxing Hall of Fame Class induction ceremonies, as nine high-profile boxers, featuring an incredible accumulate pro record of 365-51-7 (239 KO) e 24 major world titles, joined the growing USABAA ranks as proud, new members.

The Alumni Association thanks the support provided by many this weekend, particularly Micky Ward and Antonio Tarver, who continue to spread our mission.”

 

 

 

“The fact is that the vast majority of professional boxers who attend the Hall of Fame weekend at Canastota each year were at one time amateur boxers and knew each other well before they ever even turned professional,” added invaluable USABAA advisor Scully, who recruits boxers for group-sponsored events like this. “At some point in the conversations between boxers across the grounds, the topics frequently will eventually turn to their amateur days together.”

 

 

 

“I dilettanti, for me, was about fighting for respect,” campione del mondo due divisioni Junior Jones (50-6, 28 KO); noto. “To go to different places and make it very far (come un dilettante), you have to learn how to conduct yourself and transact with others.”

“Penso che questo sia fantastico,” Jones talked about the formation of the USA Boxing Alumni Association. “Fighters who turned pro were great amateurs, but there are also a lot of amateurs who didn’t turn pro. Everybody doesn’t become champion, but they tried and gave their best, and that’s why this organization is good because all boxers are appreciated.”

COMUNICATO STAMPA
Per diffusione immediata
USA vs. Irlanda Nord-Est Boxing Tour
Kicks-off Marzo 12 a Boston
BIGLIETTI IN VENDITA, VISITA WWW.USABOXING.ORG
COLORADO SPRINGS, Giro. (Febbraio 26, 2018) – One of boxing’s most beloved boxer of all-time, “Irlandese” Micky Ward, and the Irishman best known for knocking out legendary Mike Tyson into retirement, Kevin “The Clones Colossus” McBride, have been selected as honorary team captains, rispettivamente, of Team USA and Team Ireland for the first leg of the three-city 2018 USA vs. Irlanda Nord-Est Boxing Tour.
The tour commences Lunedi, Marzo 12, at the newly renovated Royale Entertainment Complex in Boston’s famed theater district. The Boston stop, which is being presented by Budweiser, have general admission tickets for $20.00 and a limited amount of $30.00 reserved tickets on sale and are available to purchase online here.
Reparto, 52, is the pride of Lowell, Massachusetts, where he is a living legend. A three-time New England Golden Gloves champion as an amateur boxer, Ward fought professionally between 1985-2003, registering a 38-13 (27 KO) record as a junior welterweight throughout his pro career. He is best known for his epic trilogy with the late Arturo Gatti, in which he became the first fighter with double-digit losses to earn a $1-million purse (due volte).
An all-action, crowed-pleasing fighter, Ward was involved in three Fight of the Year honors, the first and third of the Gatti trilogy, along with a memorable match with Emanuel Augustus. Ward was the winner in two (first Gatti and Augustus) of those classic fights.
Boston-native Mark Wahlberg portrayed Ward in, Il combattente, a movie about Micky’s life that won two Academy Awards.
“To be honorary captain of Team USA means a lot to me,” Ward said. “It’s great having elite amateur boxing back in Boston with the national teams from the United States and Ireland. It’s especially exciting for me as an Irish-American.”
The 44-year-old McBride was born in Clones, Irlanda. Era un membro della 1992 Ireland Olympic Boxing Team at the age of 19, competing in the Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spagna. Two years earlier, he represented Ireland at the European Championships and one of his teammates was Billy Walsh, Team USA’s current head coach of Team USA and former chief trainer for Team Ireland.
Like other Irish boxers, McBride came to the United States to enhance his professional career, landing in the predominately Irish neighborhood of Dorchester, a working-class section Boston, back in 1999. Il 6′ 6″, 285-pound McBride started training in Brockton, MA with Goody Petronelli, who had trained Marvelous Marvin Hagler, and later Packy Collins, the brother of another Petronelli-trained fighter, campione del mondo Stevie Collins.
McBride fought professionally between 1992-2011, retiring with a 35-10-1 (29 KO), highlighted by his shocking sixth-round knockout of Tyson in 2005, driving the “Baddest Man on the Planet” into ring retirement.
“I feel good about being honorary captain of Team Ireland,” remarked the still thickly Irish-brogue McBride, who still lives with his family in Dorchester. “I’m honored to be carrying the Irish flag for these fighters. I’m not sure how many of them remember me as the man who beat Tyson. I know some of the Irish coaches and I still support boxing in Ireland as well as America. I just love boxing. And it’s always a pleasure to be with my friend, Micky Ward. He’s a good lad.”
Gli Stati Uniti vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour will continue Marzo 15 presso il Centro MassMutual a Springfield, Mass., concluding Marzo 21 al The Downtown Hotel di Manchester nel New Hampshire.
