Toronto’s undefeated light heavyweight Kareem Hackett joins same 3 Point Management stable as 43-0 Жілберту "Zurdo" Рамірес

Лютого 6, 2022 FNU47 Залишити коментар

Zurdo and Hackett.jpg — (L-Р) — Gilberto “Лівша” Рамірес & Kareem Hackett

**Лас-Вегас (Лютого 2, 2022)** – Undefeated Toronto light heavyweight prospect Kareem Hackett (8-0, 7 КО) підписав управлінський контракт з 3 Point Management (3PM), which also manages 43-0 Жілберту "Zurdo" Рамірес, the former World Super Middleweight Champion, and today the top-ranked World light heavyweight contender.

“Kareem is a great talent that just needs an opportunity,– сказав Рамірес. “He’s been a good sparring partner for me in the past and I’m glad he can be in the same stable as I am, 3 Point Management.”

In Canada, Hackett participated in combat sports like kickboxing, джиу-джитсу, and boxing. He had a 40-6 amateur boxing record, including a pair of Ringside International boxing titles, as well as being crowned a Canadian National kickboxing champion.

Now a resident of Los Angeles, where Kareem trains at Brickhouse Boxing Club, in which “Zurdo” is part of its ownership. Hackett is coached by Ramirez’ head trainer, Julian Chua.

“I met ‘Zurdo’ through Julian,” Hackett explained. “We have the same trainer, Джуліан. Sparring with ‘Zurdo’ is great. Afterwards, we always talk about boxing. He has a lot of experience and he’s taught me so many different things. It also adds to my competitiveness. I try to bring different things I’ve learned from him into our sparring, and that’s been great for me.

“I work with Julian; he is here in Los Angeles. Because of the pandemic, it’s been complicated for me, so I haven’t been going home a (Торонто) is much as I used to or want to. We’re super spoiled at Brickhouse. I grew up in a classic gym, and I was used to its griminess. I can’t believe how nice Brickhouse is.”

“Kareem is a very skillful fighter that has been under the radar too long,” Chua remarked. “He’s one of the best strategists in the ring I’ve ever seen. We started his professional career together and we’ve built a brother bond. He knows he can trust my eyes in the corner like I can trust his skills in the ring.”

Hackett, 31, is a southpaw from Toronto, who has learned from sparring sessions with world boxing champions such as “Zurdo,” Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin, Серхіо Мора, Mathew Macklin, Девід Бенавідес, and Dmitry Bivol. Hackett’s 3PM stablemate, “Zurdo” Ramirez, is the mandatory challenger for Bivol, the reigning World Boxing Association (WBA) Light Heavyweight World Champion.

“What I’ve learned most from sparring all these world champions is, unlike a lot of guys who believe they need to knockout their opponent in one round,” Hackett noted, “it’s not a one-round fight and could go as long as 12 раундів. I’ve learned long-term strategy. Boxing is more like a marathon-like mindset than a sprint.”

In his most recent action, Hackett stopped 2-0 Giovanni Lizarraga Garate midway through the opening round last April in Mexico.
Self-described as using a strategic violence style, Hackett is a smart, elusive, accurate, and opportunistic. Sounds as if he’s describing “Zurdo.” “We do have the same coach,” Hackett added.

Hackett’s goals in 2022 includes knocking out each opponent he faces, as well as capturing U.S. or Canadian regional titles. His first fight of 2022 is tentatively set for February 17 in Texas against an opponent to be determined.

“Kareem is a smart, intelligent fighter with a gifted physic to be a force in this game,” Ramirez concluded.

Undefeated World Light Heavyweight Contender Gilberto Ramirez believes in “Zurdo,” Golden Boy & his Mexican heritage

Серпня 28, 2021 FNU47 Залишити коментар

(L-Р) – Oscar de la Hoya, Гілберто Рамірес & Бернард Хопкінс

Лас-Вегас (Серпня 23, 2021) - Непереможений **Жілберту "Zurdo" Рамірес** (42-0, 28 КО) feels he’ll get his first World light heavyweight title shot because he believes in himself, his promoter Golden Boy Promotions, and his Mexican heritage.

The former World Boxing Organization (WBO) super middleweight World champion is a leading light heavyweight contender, в даний час оцінюється Немає. 2 Всесвітньої боксерської організації (WBO) і Ні. 5 by the International Boxing Federation (IBF), а також Немає. 9 в *Кільце* independent rankings for the first time in the 175-pound division.

After Ramirez’ recent knockout victory over **Sullivan Баррера** (22-3, 14 КО), positioning him for a World title shot, the boxing world looked forward to “Zurdo” challenging World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Light Heavyweight Champion **Dmitry Bivol** later this year. Bivol had all but assured a showdown with Ramirez through social media posts, but suddenly he changed his tune and was dreaming of a match this November that isn’t going to happen against WBA and WBC Super Middleweight Champion **“Saul “Canelo” Alvarez** (56-1-2, 38 КО).

The 30-year Ramirez has openly called for a fight with Bivol or either of the other World light heavyweight title holders, **Артур Бетербієв** (WBC/IBF) і **Джо Сміт, Молодший.** (WBO), whose rumored unification fight doesn’t appear to be on the horizon.

Тим часом, all three reigning World light heavyweight champions have gone dark, at least in terms of fighting Ramirez. Is “Zurdo” too risky for them, or are they just hesitant to fight a proven Mexican challenger?

“I leave my opponents to my promoter, Golden Boy, and its matchmaker, **Роберт Діас**,” Ramirez explained. “They’re aware of what I want, and I trust they are diligent and will do whatever is best for me. Як боєць, I’ve been clear that all the World light heavyweight champs are on my hit list; and I don’t retract my statement or shy away from the fights as most of them have. In this world, all I have are my word and balls, and I don’t break ‘em for anyone. I fight not just for myself, but for my pride and the spirit of Mexican people. We are proud of our heritage and have been the best fighters. Russians know I will take out both Bivol and Beterbiev; Джо Сміт, Молодший. is just an appetizer.”

“Canelo” and **Julio Cesar Gonzalez** (2003) are the only native Mexicans to be crowned World Light Heavyweight Champions, but everybody in boxing knows Mexican boxers are called warriors for a good reason.

“I think they’re all reluctant to fight a Mexican light heavyweight like me,” Ramirez added. “There’s a reason why Bivol is retracting his statement and staying quiet after all his social media antics. If he was serious, it’s an easy fight to make, and he knows it (both fighters have fought on DAZN). I’m also hearing (**Джошуа**) **Buatsi**’s name in the mix, but I would absolutely destroy him. All these guys talk the talk but rarely walk the walk. I am a Mexican warrior; everybody knows the way we are built!"

Other potential contenders in the mix, excluding the reigning world champions, may include **Баду Джека**, **Eleider Альварес**, **Maxim Vlasov** (Ramirez defeated him as super middleweights), і **Lyndon Arthur**.

“My time will come, Ramirez concluded. “I know Golden Boy is working hard on making this a reality and when that time comes, all these guys will have nowhere to run or hide. I leave who I fight next up to my matchmaker, Роберт Діас. I trust that Golden Boy will do whatever is best for my career.

“I’m not frustrated, this is part of the process. I’m a veteran in this game. Many will talk, but they will fall when it’s time to act. Знову, I trust Golden Boy will do what has been promised and I look forward to what fight they will present me with.”

41-0 Gilberto “Лівша” Ramirez all in for WBC Interim World light heavyweight clash with “Сер” Маркус Браун

Січень 23, 2021 FNU47 Залишити коментар

Лас-Вегас (Січень 14, 2021) — The first super middleweight world champion of Mexican decent, непереможеним **Gilberto “Лівша” Рамірес** (41-0, 27 КО) is all in for a potential World Boxing Council (WBC) Interim light heavyweight World title fight against 2012 U.S. Олімпієць **“Сер” Маркус Браун** (23-1, 16 КО).

The WBC ordered Ramirez vs. Browne this past Monday because reigning WBC light heavyweight World champion **Артур Бетербієв** (15-0, 15 КО) hasn’t defended his title since capturing it October 18, 2019, due to getting COVID-19 during training camp, as well as for other pandemic related restrictions. Beterbiev is also the reigning International Boxing Federation (IBF) light heavyweight World champion.

Ramirez is the No. 1 light heavyweight contender in the WBC ratings, while Browne is ranked No. 4. Team Zurdo and Team Browne have until February 5^ї to work out a deal before it’ll go to purse bid. Martinez is promoted by his own company, Zurdo Promotions, while Browne is represented by PBC.

“This is an interesting opportunity and I’m ready to fight anyone in the light heavyweight division to leave my mark on the sport,” Ramirez said. “I know Marcus has been out of the ring for a while, but he’s a U.S. Olympian and still one of the best in the game. I know he’s wanted this fight for a while and hopefully we can make something happen.

“На додаток, it’s always been my dream to get the green belt (WBC) and bring it back to Mexico. I have a lot of respect for the WBC and Mauricio Suliman and I am grateful for all their love and support throughout my career.”

Минулий місяць, Ramirez fought for the first time in 20 місяці, stopping defending champion **Alfonso “El Tigre” Лопес** (32-4, 25 КО) in the 10th round of the “Battle of Rio Grande” головна подія, which marked the debut of Zurdo Promotions.

The 29-year-old Ramirez became the first Mexican fighter to capture a world super middleweight crown in 2016, when the ultra-gifted, athletic southpaw pitched a complete shutout against defending title holder **“Король” Артур Абрахам**(44-4), winning each round for a 12-round unanimous decision (120-106 X 3) to become the World Boxing Organization (WBO) чемпіон світу.

Ramirez successful defended his WBO title five times against 33-4-1 **Maksym Bursak** (DEC12), 22-0 **Jessie Hart** (DEC12), 25-0-1 **Habib Ahmed** (25-0-1), 23-0 **Roemer Alexis Angulo** (DEC12), and Hart again in a rematch (DEC12). “Лівша” moved up to the light heavyweight division in 2019, destroying 29-6-1 **Томмі Karpency**, who was unable to continue fighting after four rounds.

A talented southpaw as well, Browne was a decorated U.S. amateur out of New York City, who won gold medals at the 2010 U.S. Національні чемпіонати PAL і 2012 U.S. Національні чемпіонати, prior to representing the U.S. at the Olympic Games in London.

Браун, 30, is a past WBA Interim light heavyweight World champion. He has beaten a pair of word champions, 22-1-3 **Баду Джека** (DEC12) і 25-7-1 **Габріель Кампільо** (25-7-2). Other notable opponents he has defeated include 21-0 **Радівой Kalajdzic** (DEC8), 20-2 **Томас Вільямс** (KO6), 28-0 **Шон Монахан** (TKO2), і 18-1-1 **Ленін Кастільо** (DEC10). Browne’s last fight was August 3, 2019, when he suffered his first loss as a professional to former world champion **Жан Паскаль**(33-6-1) via an eight-round technical decision, after Browne suffered a severe cut over his left eye from an accidental head-butt.

“There are always challenges to making a fight become reality,” Ramirez concluded, “but me being both the fighter and sole promoter, I’m flexible on the common problems that takes to make a fight. I’m not sure how much time Marcus will need to be ready, but both time and location can be determined when the other preliminary items are agreed upon. If it goes to a purse bid, I’m ready for the process and, сподіваюся, this fight can happen for both of us.”

CONTENDERS CLOTHING LAUNCHES FIGHTING FOR FIGHTERS FUND – ALL PROCEEDS TO GO DIRECTLY TO PROFESSIONAL FIGHTERS AFFECTED BY THE COVID-19 CRISIS!

Квітня 15, 2020 FNU47 Залишити коментар

FIGHTERS CAN SIGN UP NOW FOR A DIRECT PAYMENT SENT OUT FIRST WEEK OF MAY ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE NEW’GO THE SOCAL DISTANCE’ FUNDRAISER T-SHIRT& 10% OF SALES AT CONTENDERSCLOTHING.COM TO GO TO FUND

Лас-Вегас, Невада. (Квітня 13, 2020): Contenders Clothing is proud to announce the creation of the Fighting for Fighters Fund, a new program that will put money directly, and immediately, into the hands of professional fighters affected by the current Covid-19 crisis.

With combat sports across the United States being suspended indefinitely, many fighters who earn a living competing professionally are self-employed contractors leaving them out of work and not eligible for state unemployment. While there is money earmarked for contract workers under the Cares Act, funds have been hard to, if not impossible, to access, leaving many working class fighters in dire need of assistance.

“While some well-known apparel companies are donating to large and mostly worldwide health organizations, we’ve yet to see any company directly help fighters,” said Contenders Chief Executive Officer, Jonathan Snyder.

“We have been embraced by professional fighters of all levels who have worn our boxer briefs and t-shirts at weigh ins and we truly consider anyone who wears us as part of our family. They’ve had our back and now it’s time to have theirs.”

Funding for Fighting for Fighters will come from the sales of an exclusive, ‘Go The Social Distance’ t-shirt created specifically as a fundraiser for the program.

This Friday showdown vs. unbeaten NABO champion Yomar “The Magic” Alamo

Лас-Вегас (Лютого 27, 2020) – Undefeated super lightweightKendo “Tremendo” Castaneda (17-0, 8 КО) flew into Orlando from his native San Antonio this past Tuesday night on his first visit to Florida.

Unlike millions of people who go to Orlando for Disneyworld, хоча, Castaneda’s initial look at palm trees is simply part of his business trip. Castaneda challenges North American Boxing Organization (СУСІДИ) чемпіонYomar “The Magic” Alamo (17-0-1, 12 КО) in this Friday night’s 10-round main event, airing live on Boxeo Telemundo, починаючи з 11:30 p.m. І / 8:30 p.m. PT, from Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Флорида.

Alamo vs. Кастанеда is co-promoted by All-Star Boxing, which promotes Alamo and the event, and Castaneda’s promoter, Рой Джонс-молодший. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions.

“It’s pretty cool here,” Castaneda shared his first impressions of Florida. “A guy working for the promoter met us at the airport to film my arrival and interview me, so it’s been a welcoming experience, and people in Florida know I’m in the house. I like it here. It’s nice and in a way, I feel like I’m at home. I’m going to put on a show for fans, I’m going to be like their Disney World. I’m ready for the big ride and to put on a great show for the people.”

Castaneda captured the vacant North American Boxing Association (Також) crown a year ago, taking a 10-round decision from previously undefeatedGilbert Venegas, Молодший(10-0), and followed that with an impressive 10-round unanimous decision over Dominican veteranEudy Berbardo (24-3).

Last October in Reno, Невада, Castaneda stoppedStan Martyniouk (20-3) in the sixth round, after which he was installed by the World Boxing Organization as its No. 15 rated super lightweight in the world.

WBO No. 8 ranked Alamo, fighting out of Puerto Rico, is coming off the only blemish on either fighter’s pro record, fighting to a draw withAntonio Moran (24-4-1).

Alamo, 24, is the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World and FECARBOX super lightweight champion, who has made three successful NABO title defenses.

“After this fight,” Castaneda concluded, “people are going to forget this Alamo (not the famous Alamo in Castaneda’s hometown) and remember me, The Tremendous One. I expect the fight t to end in a spectacular knockout in my favor, late in the fight, because I like to punish my opponent.”
