Reminder: Undefeated Russian super middleweight Petr “The Surgeon” Khamukov to headline This Friday in Long Beach on DAZN

Deja un comentario



LOS ANGELES (Junio 16, 2025) - Often avoided Russian super middleweight Petr “The Surgeon” Khamukov (13-0, 6 KOs) will headline “LA Friday Night Fights”, presented by Paco Presents and Golden Boy Promotions, against David “Dynamite” Stevens (14-2, 10 KOs) this week in Long Beach, California.


Khamukov faces Stevens, who was a standout amateur boxer out of Pennsylvania, en el evento principal a 10 asaltos. “LA Friday Night Fights” will be streamed live this Friday on DAZN from Thunder Studios.


A promotional free agent who now resides in Woodland Hills (TAL COMO), Khamukov had 350 partidos de aficionados, represented Russia in the 2016 Juegos Olímpicos, and he was the only Russian to qualify for the same Olympics in two weights classes (middleweight and light heavyweight). Capturó medallas de oro en el 2015 European Championships and 2016 Russian National Championships.


Khamukov, 33, is excited to be fighting again, never mind headlining, because he has had a difficult time securing fights prior to recently signing a managerial contract with 3 Gestión de puntos (3 Primer ministro). Khamukov’s last fight was 13 Hace meses, when he knocked out Esau Herrera de la Cruz (21-16-1) en la tercera ronda.


“It was a real challenge, tanto física como mentalmente,” Khamukov spoke about his absence from the ring. “As they say, the darkest night is followed by the brightest dawn. That time away helped me reset, reflect, and come back even stronger. Sometimes those moments are necessary to build true resilience. You have to ask fighters why they have avoided me. I’ve always been ready to fight but they weren’t. Maybe the risk just didn’t justify the reward? Fear of losing can be a powerful force. Let them run, I’m not chasing anyone. I’m focused on my own path.


“It’s a huge honor and a big responsibility to be headlining this Friday night in Long Beach. A main event, worthy opponent, and a team that’s worked incredibly hard to get us here. Now it’s time to do what I do best: step into the ring and prove myself. Fighting on DAZN is a launchpad to a whole new level. Millions of eyes, a bigger stage and new doors that could open for me after a strong performance. One thing will stay the same: moving forward with dignity and respect for the sport, my opponent and myself.”


In his most recent fight last November in Las Vegas, the 24-year-old Stevens lost a 12-round split decision to Bektemir Melikuziev (14-1, 10 KOs). Stevens’ most impressive performance to date was an 8-round stoppage of then 14-0 Sean Hemphill in 2023.


“My opponent is a strong, luchador experimentado, sin lugar a dudas,” Khamukov said. “I respect that, but I didn’t just start boxing yesterday, cualquiera de los dos. I’ve prepared thoroughly – physically, mentalmente, tactically. The rest will be shown in the ring. Yo no hablo mucho, Hago, and that’s what professionalism is about.


“The biggest change in training camp has been volume. We’ve increased endurance work and focused on managing pace and energy. At my core, I’m still the same…. agresivo, technical, and hungry for victory.


Khamukov is the latest member of 3 Point Management’ (3 Primer ministro) stable of gifted boxers including WBA & WBO Cruiserweight World Champion/Ring Magazine No. 1 rated Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (47-1, 30 KOs), former WBC World Light Heavyweight Champion/WBC No. 3 rated Oleksandr “Nails” Gvozdyk (20-2, 16 KOs), world super flyweight title challenger/WBO No. 1 rated John “Scrappy” Ramirez (14-1, 9 KOs), AMB #6 rated super middleweight Darius “DFG” Fulgham (14-1, 12 KOs), former WBA Inter-Continental Light Heavyweight Champion Kareem “Supreme” Hackett (12-1, 6 KOs) and German junior welterweight Simon “Saucy” Vollmer (7-0, 3 KOs).

PLAYA LARGA, California. (Julio 30, 2017) – El invicto prospecto de peso pluma Tramaine “El Enano Poderoso” Williams made a major statement last night (Sábado, Julio 29), dropping former world title challenger Guillermo “Chirizo” González three times in the opening round of a sensational performance in the “KO Noche de Boxeo” Rumble en el agua 2″ evento principal, which aired live on CBS Sports Network from The Queen Mary’s outdoor venue in Long Beach, California.

“KO Noche de Boxeo: Rumble en el agua 2” was presented by Black Tree, and promoted by Roy Englebrecht Promotions, en asociación con KO Night Boxing LLC y Roc Nation Sports.
…..and the end for William Gonzalez
The 5′ 4″ Williams (12-0, 5 KOs), luchando fuera de New Haven (Connecticut), exploded with pin-point accuracy, also displaying his new-found power, dropping Gonzalez 30-8, 26 KOs), de Nicaragua, three time in the first round. The crafty southpaw finished off his more experienced opponent with a perfectly placed right-left combination, right on the button, for his third and final knockdown. Referee Raul Caiz, Jr. rechazó la acción, not bothering to count, as Gonzalez lay vertical on his back in dire straits.
“I prepared well for this fight and anything can happen when I work hard,” Williams remarked after his third consecutive knockout victory. “I felt his power early with a body shot but I stayed focused.
“I can deal with anybody in my division. I want to fight Lee Selby (Campeón mundial de peso pluma de la FIB), or any of the world champions, but none will fight me. I really want Gary Russell (Campeón del CMB); Estoy aquí, Gary. It’ll be target practice for me.”
En la pelea co-estelar, highly touted super middleweight prospect Júnior “El dios joven” younan (13-0, 9 KOs) permanecido invicto, winning a close eight-round decision against tough Micro “La Amenaza” Guy, de Sacramento (TAL COMO), the former California State champion. (9-3-1, 5 KOs) Guy was penalized a point for tossing Younan to the mat at the end of round six or the result would have been a majority draw.
In his first eight-round fight, the 21-year-old Younan gained invaluable experience fighting the non-stop Guy, who kept coming forward, throwing punches from all angles, at his Brooklyn opponent.

Júnior Younan (R) had a learning experience in victory against Mike Guy
“You can’t learn if you don’t go rounds,” Younan correctly noted after the fight. “I’m only going to improve. Guy kept moving forward the entire fight. There were a couple of things that bothered me, but I went eight hard rounds and won. Thank you to Mike Guy for that.”
Former Winthrop College (CAROLINA DEL SUR) jugador de baloncesto Jonnie Rice (7-2-1, 4 KOs), peleando fuera de Los Angeles, opened the televised broadcast with a convincing six-round unanimous decision over Rodney “King Corso” Hernández (10-6-2, 2 KOs), de Fresno (TAL COMO).
“I thought I did real well against a good opponent,” former power forward Rice said after the fight “He’s an athlete, getting better each fight. He’s not the same fighter he was a year ago. I’m becoming more strategic, working on my jab to get better. Basketball players need good footwork like Chris Paul and Lebron James. I’m working to bring my footwork from basketball to boxing,”
Favorito local Raul Calderon (1-0) pitched a shutout over Eric Gómez (0-1), winning a four-round unanimous decision (40-36 X 3), in a battle of pro-debuting Californians. In the walkout-fight, Los Angeles featherweight Sergio “El Nino” Quiroz mejoró a 4-0 with a four-round unanimous decision over Lupe Arrotyo (2-7).

PLAYA LARGA. California.

(Julio 24, 2017) – Former junior boxing prodigy and undefeated professional prospect, invicto Júnior “El dios joven” younan, will be showcased in the “KO Noche de Boxeo: Rumble en el agua 2” co-estelar este sábado (Julio 29), ventilación (10 p.m. Y / 7 p.m. PT) en CBS Sports Network, en vivo desde el lugar al aire libre del Queen Mary en Long Beach, California. The Queen Mary will be hosting its first pro boxing show.

The 21-year-old Younan (12-0, 9 KOs), peleando desde Brooklyn, takes on former USA California super middleweight champion Mike Guy (9-2-1, 5 KOs), de Sacramento (TAL COMO), en el evento co-presentado de ocho rondas.
“This will be a coming out party for me,” Younan said. “I’m going to go out there and try to make a statement. It’s been a great start to the year – it’s my third fight this year – and I feel like I’m getting better and better each one.”
En el evento principal de 10 asaltos de la noche, prospecto de peso pluma invicto Tramaine “El Enano Poderoso” Williams (11-0, 4 KOs), de New Haven (Connecticut), se enfrenta al ex retador al título mundial Guillermo “Chirizo” González (30-7, 26 KOs), de Nicaragua.
“KO Noche de Boxeo: Rumble en el agua 2”, presented by Black Tree, es promovido por Roy Englebrecht Promotions, en asociación con KO Night Boxing LLC y Roc Nation Sports.
Fighting under the Roc Nation banner, Younan was a highly-decorated amateur boxer, compiling an outstanding 90-5 registro. Given his success, Younan elected to turn pro in 2013 as an 18-year-old, rather than wait several years for an opportunity to qualify for the U.S. Equipo olímpico de boxeo.
Younan started boxing competitively as an eight-year-old and, solamente dos años después, The New York Times crowned him a “prodigio del boxeo”. During his impressive amateur career, he collected several belts, medals and awards, including nine championship performances in the Junior Olympics as well as the Junior Metros, eight in the New York State Silver Gloves, and five more in the Regional Silver Gloves. He was also a four-time National Silver Gloves recipient, three-time Ringside World winner, three-time National PAL, and two-time National Junior Golden Gloves champion. En 2011, he was crowned the National Junior Golden Gloves champion, in addition to being USA Boxing’s No. 1-rated junior boxer in his weight class.

Nagging injuries somewhat curtailed Younan’s development, limiting him to one fight in 2015. After a nine-month layoff, he returned triumphantly on March 26, 2016 to defeat Cristian Solorzano, de Sonora, México, en el Andre Ward vs.. Sullivan Barrera undercard at Oracle Arena in Oakland, California. With a win by way of a four-round unanimous decision, Younan improved his unblemished record to 8-0.

Three of Younan’s last four fights have ended in the opening round, including his most recent on Junio 17 on the Andre Ward-Sergey Kovalev 2 undercard at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. The Brooklyn bomber made quick work of the Hungarian veteran Zoltan Sera (28-14, 20 KOs) al 1:39 marca.

“It was an amazing experience for me as a 21-year-old to fight in Vegas on Andre Ward’s card,” Younan added. “Coming off that knockout, I have great momentum and confidence heading into this fight. No puedo esperar”
California heavyweights Rodney Hernández (10-5-2, 2 KOs), de Modesto, and Los Angeles’ Jonnie Rice (6-2-1, 4 KOs), un antiguo Winthrop College (CAROLINA DEL SUR) jugador de baloncesto, will open the televised segment of the card in a six-round bout.
Los peleadores en la cartelera en partidos de cuatro asaltos son el peso pluma de Los Ángeles Sergio “El Nino” Quiroz (3-0) vs. Lupe Arroyo (2-0), de Huntington Beach (TAL COMO), Whittier (TAL COMO) ligero George Acosta (2-0), y pesos welter pro debutantes Eric Gomesta, de santa ana (TAL COMO), y Long Beach Raul Calderon.
Todas las peleas y los luchadores están sujetos a cambio.
Todas las entradas tienen un precio de $60.00 y a la venta para comprar llamando 949.760.3131.
Las puertas abren a 5:30 p.m. PT con el combate de apertura programada en 6:30 p.m. PT.

PLAYA LARGA, CALIFORNIA (Julio 7, 2016) – Apenas dos días después de dominar previamente invicto Francy Ntetu (16-1, 3 KOs) en Premier Boxing Champions’ Junio 25º Tarjeta CBS en el Barclay's Center de Nueva York, “El Bandera Roja,” David Benavidez, estaba de vuelta en el gimnasio de su casa en Long Beach, preparándose para su próximo combate. La estrella en ascenso no tenía intención de tomarse un descanso., y saltó directamente a un régimen de entrenamiento intenso que incluía sparring con Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramírez (34-0, 24KO), que estaba listo para hacer su debut en PPV más adelante en el mes, pero fue marginado esta semana por una lesión.
“Mi ultima pelea fue dura, pero aprendí mucho,” declaró Benavidez sobre su pelea con el canadiense Ntetu previamente invicto.. “Fue una gran experiencia, recibiendo rondas.”
Con una sola excepción, una pelea de seis asaltos que fue la distancia en 2014, Benavidez no había peleado más allá del segundo asalto, noquear oponente tras oponente.
“Me siento mejor y con más experiencia,” Benavidez continuó. “Tengo confianza sabiendo que puedo ir a aguas profundas y terminar una pelea si tengo que hacerlo.. Estoy aprendiendo a mantener el ritmo cuando lo necesito durante una ronda., y sé que esas rondas posteriores me hicieron un mejor luchador.”
Mientras Benavidez se prepara para su próxima pelea, está completamente enfocado en mejorarse a sí mismo.
“No me importó volver al gimnasio,” Said Benavidez. “Este es mi estilo de vida ahora. Solo quiero entrenar. Quiero ver lo que hice mal en mi última pelea y arreglarlo.. No quiero oxidarme entre peleas. Cuando no estoy entrenando físicamente, Estoy pensando en los errores que cometí en las peleas, técnicas que se pueden mejorar. Quiero mejorar cada pelea, y eso me consume.”
“Es este compromiso con el éxito y la mejora lo que distingue a David de otros jóvenes de su edad., y otros luchadores,” dicho José Benavidez, Sr., Padre de David y entrenador en jefe. “Esto es lo que lo hace diferente, y por eso va a ser el mejor.”
