Atlantic City, NJ (Ноември 1, 2018) – Исия Селдън в средна категория се готви за най-голямата си битка в кариерата си, когато се бие с непобедения Тайлър Хауърд в двубой, насрочен за осми кръг на 16 ноември в Чесапийк Енерджи Арена в Оклахома Сити.

 

 

 

В схватката, което се насърчава от Top Rank, ще се излъчва на живо по ESPN +.

 

 

 

В основното събитие шампионът на WBO за юноши в полусредна категория Морис Хукър ще се защити срещу Алекс Сауседо.

 

 

 

Селдън (12-1-1, 4 Нокаута) тренира в Атлантик Сити под зоркия поглед на Бил Джонсън.

 

 

 

“Очаквам с нетърпение тази чудесна възможност,” - каза Селдън. “Копнеех за възможност да се бия с боец ​​като Хауърд, тъй като победата ще изведе кариерата ми на следващото ниво.”

 

 

 

Екип Селдън, работи усърдно с дългогодишния мениджър Джим Курц, много развълнуван от възможността, която Селдън има пред себе си.

 

 

 

“Не става по-голямо от битката в шоу с най-висок ранг с експлозивно главно събитие между Хукър и Сауседо. Персоналът в Top Rank е на първо ниво. Наистина съм развълнуван от Исия да получи тази възможност да покаже своите таланти на голяма сцена. Аз и съуправителят Джо Томпсън сме убедени, че Исия е готов да блесне на 16 ноември и не може да стигне тук достатъчно бързо,” - каза Кърц, който е управлявал Селдън от първия ден.

 

 

 

Кърц също управляваше бащата на Селдън, WBA шампион в тежка категория, Брус Селдън.

 

 

 

“Исия се събра с оригиналния си треньор Бил Джонсън и те не пропуснаха нито един ритъм. Това е първият път, когато Исия има пълноценен тренировъчен лагер. Не сме оставили камък на камък в подготовка за тази битка. Условието на Исия е в момент, който никога досега не съм виждал с него. Той получава страхотен спаринг и подобрението му в работата с Бил в подготовката за тази битка е невероятно. Той е готов да покаже на света нова и подобрена Исия Селдън. Той има голямо наследство, след което е син на бившия шампион на WBA в тежка категория Брус Селдън, но Исия е решен да направи своя отпечатък в спорта по бокс.”

 

 

 

“Винаги е имал власт и в двете ръце, вкарване на нокдаун в почти всяка битка, но сега той се учи да запази спокойствие и да довърши момчетата, вместо да се вълнува прекалено много и да ги пусне. Той удря по-силно от всякога, слагайки ударите си заедно и неговата боксова способност е достигнала ниво, където той може да контролира темпото на битката. Забавихме се с Исия, като се има предвид, че той не е имал никакви аматьорски битки, но сега сме на мястото, където той е готов да направи своя отпечатък в средната категория.”

 

 

 

“Знаем, че Тайлър Хауърд е добър непобеден боец. Той имаше добра аматьорска кариера, идва от семейство с бокс, и има солиден мениджърски екип, който е свършил чудесна работа с него. На 16 ноември очакваме тежка битка с някои фойерверки, но сме уверени, че Исия ще излезе победител и това ще ни отведе към по-големи и по-добри възможности.”

New WBA Middleweight Champion Rob Brant Basking in the Glow, but Ready for ‘Next Assignment’

Оставете коментар

Brand-new WBA World Middleweight Champion Rob “Bravo” Brant says he goes everywhere with his new best friend. “The belt hasn’t left my side since they handed it to me,” laughs the personable new champion from Saint Paul, Minnesota.

 

 

 

28-годишният Брант (24-1, 16 Нокаута) says he went into his main-event showdown with then champion Ryota Murata (14-2, 11 Нокаута), last Saturday night at the Park MGM in Las Vegas (and live on ESPN+), unaware he was such a heavy underdog.

 

 

 

“I really did go into it very confident I would win, just off the preparations we did,” said Brant, who was having his first fight with former world champion Eddie Mustafa Muhammad as his trainer. “I tried to stay away from news when I was in training, so I had no idea how big of an underdog I was. We had a post-fight press conference and that was when I found out. When reporters were asking about it. I had no idea. It wouldn’t have deterred me anyway if I had known.”

 

 

 

Despite the doubts of the bookmakers, Brant cruised to a lopsided 12-round unanimous decision over 2012 Olympic gold medalist Murata, with two judges giving him all but one round, the other all but two. Brant busted up the now ex-champion with a piston-like jab and peppered him with combinations throughout what turned out to be a surprisingly dominant performance.

 

 

 

According to CompuBox statistics, Brant landed 356 на 1,262 щанци (28 на сто) while Murata connected with just 180 на 774 (23 на сто).

 

 

 

“As a pro, he hasn’t seen what I gave him,” explained Brant. We knew he had a hard time with hand speed and jabs. He locks up when punches are being thrown, so we made sure we kept him backing up and worried about the jab and punches in general. The more he thinks about my shots, the less he throws. We knew we’d be able to keep him on his back foot. Eddie Mustafa is very strict on letting the hands go. We were big on the cardio in training and keeping the punch rate high. And when you’re keeping the jab out there all the time, other shots open up.”

 

 

 

Brant says at fight’s end, he wasn’t worried about the decision going his way.

 

 

 

“I’ve always felt that judges’ decisions are out of my hands. I was nervous about it, you don’t know until they announce your name, but I knew I had done what I felt was my best work. I had a great sense of pride and relief knowing I put it all out there and did everything possible to win. But now that I have won, it’s kind of like having giant weight lifted off my shoulders. It’s definitely my biggest accomplishment ever, winning in Vegas against a former Olympic gold medallist. It’s everything I ever worked for. It was the best feeling in the world. I knew how much I worked for that. Boxing gives back what you put into it and I put my everything into it.”

 

 

 

Although Brant and promoters GCP reportedly agreed to a rematch before the fight, the new champion says he’s not sure the now ex-champion wants it.

 

 

 

“All the talk of a rematch has been from his promoters. I haven’t heard him say anything about it. He might be a little discouraged right now. I’m not saying he won’t be able to come back, but I don’t think he wants it right now. I’ll just go on to bigger and better in the division. Once you win a title, there are no more easy fights. Until you are the undisputed king, you’re always taking steps up in class in every fight.”

 

 

 

Brant says he took a week off but is now back in the gym and ready for what comes next.

 

 

 

“I’m just waiting for the next assignment to work toward. I want to know who my next opponent is as soon as possible, so I can go to sleep at night thinking of what I’m going to do. Watching film and looking for flaws and things I can exploit. That’s when I‘m really the most comfortable. When I have an assignment. It’ll be a big name eventually. I’m there now. So I’m just waiting to see who is next for me to spend all my time watching that person.”

 

 

 

Brant gives a big piece of the credit for his upset victory to the only man to ever beat him. Last October, he stepped up in weight to participate in the World Boxing Super Series as a super middleweight and lost a one-sided decision to former light heavyweight champion Juergen Braehmer in Germany.

 

 

 

“The thought of what happened against Braehmer was always in the background. That’s what really motivated me to be the best I could in this fight. I knew I was better than I was in that fight. I had to prove it by doing what I’m capable of. The loss to Braehmer will be in the back of my mind forever. I won’t let anyone else do that to me again. I will never forget that loss and I’ve been a better fighter from that point forward.”

Fighting in UFC dream come true for M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Artem Frolov

Оставете коментар
 

Седем. 15 at UFC Moscow vs. C.B. Dollaway

 

 

 

САНКТ ПЕТЕРБУРГ, Русия (Септември 5, 2018) – Fighting in the UFC is a dream come true for undefeated M-1 Challenge middleweight champion Артьом Фролов (11-0-0, М-1: 8-0-0), who will make his UFC debut September 15, fighting on the UFC Moscow card at Olympic Stadium in Moscow.

 

 

 

Frolov recently agreed on short notice (2 седмици) to replace injured Omari Ashkedov against veteran American fighter C.B. “Доберманът” Dollaway (17-8-0).

 

 

 

Fighting at home in Russia, the 26-year-old Frolov won his M-1 Challenge title belt last October, when he took a unanimous decision from Кайо Магалхаес в М-1 Challenge 84. This past June at M-1 Challenge 93, Frolov made his first and lone title defense to date against Джо Ригс, who suffered a knee injury that led to a doctor’s stoppage in the second round.

 

 

 

Вчера, Frolov sat down for a one-on-one interview:

 

How long have you working on a deal to sign with UFC?

 

 

 

AF: “My manager has been working on signing me with the UFC for a while, but until the last few days, we had no solid agreement. A few days ago, they finally offered me a contract and asked to step in to replace an injured fighter at UFC Moscow.

 

 

 

“I thought it over and decided it was a great opportunity to join the UFC, which I did not want to miss. I would not say this contract was a surprise for me, people have been working on it, so I was ready.”

 

How does it feel to sign with UFC?

 

 

 

AF: “I’m excited to sign with the best promotion in the world, but I know that my debut fight won’t be easy, I’m stepping in on a short notice just two weeks before the show. I was going to defend my belt in M-1 Global in a couple months, so now I need to cut weight fast. The most difficult thing is not just to cut weight, but afterwards to recover well. In the UFC, IVs are banned and you have to be extremely careful with supplements you take to recover.”

What shape are you in for this fight considering only two-week’s notice?

 

 

 

AF: “I was preparing for a fight in M-1 Global, so I’m in good shape. We are going to work on my speed now but first, I have to cut weight. Once in my career I took a fight on a short notice, I had three weeks to prepare and I won that fight by TKO in the second round.”

 

What do you know about your opponent, C.B. Dollaway?

 

 

 

AF: “I’ve seen a couple of C.B. Dollaway’s UFC fights, but I have never considered him as my opponent, so did not pay too much attention to him. There are many good fighters in the UFC, so I can’t say that I know a lot about my opponent. We don’t have not enough time to concentrate on him, so we’ll concentrate on me.”

 

When do you feel you can challenge the top UFC fighters in your weight class?

 

 

 

AF: “I’m not going to demand huge fights with the top opponents in the UFC. I’ll take my time and be ready to fight any opponent they’ll give me. I need time to get used to new conditions, tune up my preparation, and put in order the whole system and then I will be ready for any challenges.

 

 

 

“Everything is in our hands; nothing is impossible. If someone wants something badly, sets a goal and works hard to achieve it, he or she will succeed. I’m just a regular guy who had a dream to fight in the UFC and I made it. Dream big, set goals and achieve them!”

VICTORY BOXING PROMOTIONS INKS NATIONAL GOLDEN GLOVES CHAMPION KIANTE IRVING

Оставете коментар

PITTSBURGH – Август 29, 2018 – Chris Middendorf’s Victory Boxing Promotions has signed under-the-radar amateur Kiante Irving to a promotional deal. The 24 year-old middleweight is set to make his professional debut this Sunday in West Virginia.

 

 

 

A 6’3″ среднотежка, Irving heads into Sunday’s debut with a National Golden Gloves Championship under his belt, having topped the 165-pound division in the 2018 турнир. Despite a slew of state and national titles under his belt, Irving began boxing late, compared to his peers.

 

 

Той беше 16 when he walked into Tom Yankello’s gym, having been drawn to the squared circle after being unable to find his niche in other sports. Raised by a single mom, boxing was an outlet for Irving, and served as an escape from the poverty and stress that ensconced his home life. It soon became clear that boxing would long be a part of his future.

 

 

 

A humble spirit, Irving kept his head down and his eye on the ball through various family traumas that included an eviction and his brother’s near-fatal battle with Chrohn’s Disease. His younger brother, whom he credits as an inspiration and role model, survived the brush with death to become a firefighter. Irving hopes to use his time in the ring to boost awareness of the disease, and to seize the opportunity to live out his dreams, much like his brother has done in recent years.

 

 

 

After his Golden Gloves Victory, Irving’s trainer Tom Yankello, and his brother and co-manager Mark Yankello, along with Irving, came to the decision that it was time to join the professional ranks. The two managers, operating under the banner Tom Yankello Boxing, Inc., connected with boxing promoter Chris Middendorf and Victory Boxing Promotions. Middendorf, who has helped build the careers of many of today’s world champions, seized the opportunity to work with Irving and the Yankellos.

 

 

 

“I am very excited to add Kiante to Victory Boxing’s stable,” said Middendorf. I had the pleasure of doing a series of shows in Pittsburgh with welterweight Sammy Vasquez, culminating in an ESPN and then a ShowBox show, and a series of events at Consol Energy Center [now the PPG Arena.] I can’t wait to be back in Pittsburgh, promoting another top prospect. It really is a tremendous sports town, and they really come out to support their local athletes.”

 

 

 

Middendorf was complimentary of the Yankello Brothers. “I have known his trainer and co-manager, Tom and Mark Yankello, съответно, by reputation for many years, and have enjoyed working with them. When Mark first spoke to me about Kiante, I knew immediately that I wanted to work with the Yankellos and promote Kiante Irving. With his stellar amateur career, he is ready to be a pro.”

 

 

 

The future looks bright (and busy) for Irving. “I plan to build and move Kiante the same way that I moved Ed Brown and Jaron Ennis. I have promised him a minimum of eight fights in his first year, and I know we will do more. He is a gifted athlete and it is going to be something to watch him develop into one of the top middleweights.”

 

 

 

От своя страна, Tom Yankello is excited about the young pugilist’s future with Middendorf and Victory Boxing Promotions. “I am very pleased with Victory Boxing Promotions. I have known Chris for many years, and he has a great resume and has been involved with building the careers of elite boxers such as Terence Crawford, Лео Santa Cruz, и Nonito Donaire. We know we’re in good hands, and that Chris knows how to move and develop Kiante.”

 

 

 

“I’m just excited to get my pro career moving,” said Irving of the signing. “My managers are confident, and I’m confident that we’re going to be successful under the Victory Boxing banner, and we will be getting right to work.”

 

 

 

Irivng makes his professional debut this Sunday at Mountaineer Casino Racetrack & Курорт, versus Philadelphia’s Vincent Burkhalter. Tickets are available at www.mademenboxing.com.

James broke through in the last 30 seconds of the second round, landing numerous unanswered right hands that put Montes in immediate trouble. James finished the show with the devastating body shot that eventually forced referee Mark Nelson to halt the bout at 2:58 на кръга.

 

 

 

“I feel like I’m ready for the elite welterweights and tonight proved it again,” said James. “I’m going to keep working hard and taking down anyone they put in front of me. It’s time for me to make my mark in the division.”

 

 

 

В съвместно основното събитие, средната категория Willie Monroe Jr. (23-3, 6 Нокаута) showed off his boxing skill and picked apart Javier Francisco Maciel (33-7, 23 Нокаута) to score a unanimous decision in their 10-round bout.

 

 

 

Monroe was dominant with his jab, movement and an array of offensive attacks. He was able to vary his punches enough to keep the aggressive Maciel from landing anything that caused damage.

 

 

 

Maciel looked to score with power punches and body shots, but the former title challenger Monroe was comfortable on the outside and mixing it up inside on his way to winning the fight by scores of 99-91 и 100-90 два пъти.

 

 

 

The opening bout of the telecast featured fast-rising prospect and 2016 Lithuanian Olympian Eimantas Stanionis (7-0, 5 Нокаута) as he earned a unanimous decision over Леван Ghvamichava (18-4-1, 13 Нокаута)in their eight-round welterweight matchup.

 

 

 

Stanionis rode a powerful jab and sharp combination punching to the dominant victory as he faced the toughest opposition of his pro career to date. Ghvamichava was game and tried to counter the hard-charging Stanionis but was too often taking the worst of exchanges on the inside. At the end of the action all three judges saw the bout in favor of Stanionis by scores of 80-72 и 79-73 два пъти.

 

 

 

Additional action saw Джейсън Росарио (16-1-1, 11 Нокаута) score a unanimous decision over Jamontay Clark (13-1, 7 Нокаута) in their 10-round super welterweight bout.

 

 

 

Rosario scored a highlight reel knockdown with a counter right hand in the third round that saw Clark tumble out of the ring. Clark was able to return to the ring and beat the count, but he took more damage throughout the bout before losing the decision by scores of 99-90, 98-91 и 97-92, all in favor of Rosario.

 

 

 

A scheduled heavyweight bout ended in shocking fashion before it ever began, as heavyweight prospect карикатура Ajagba (6-0, 5 Нокаута) was awarded a victory by disqualification against Curtis Харпър (13-6, 9 Нокаута) when Harper exited the ring moments after the opening bell rang, opting not to face Ajagba.

 

 

 

Prelims on FS1 and FOX Deportes saw rising super welterweight prospect Себастиан Фундора (10-0, 6 Нокаута) stop Антонио Уриста (10-3, 2 Нокаута)при 2:22 от четвъртия кръг, undefeated super welterweight Leon Lawson (8-0, 4 Нокаута) спечели единодушно решение над Брандън Адамс (4-7-1, 2 Нокаута) in their six-round fight and unbeaten prospect Гари Antonio Russell (12-0,10 Нокаута) score a first round knockout of Ник Отиено (31-15, 13 Нокаута) просто 1:18 в кръглата.

Tampa, Флорида – (Август 20, 2018) –In a surprising about-face, Middleweight Connor Coyle has voluntarily relinquished his NBA Intercontinental Middleweight Title and William Silva has voluntarily relinquished his NBA Lightweight World Title.

 

 

 

“We were notified by Coyle’s and Silva’s promoter Fire Fist Boxing Promotions that they have chosen to go a different direction. The Promoter notified the NBA via email in early July. Fire Fist was made aware of champion obligations regarding defense of the belt, resulting in Fire Fist Promotions deciding to voluntarily vacate the titles,” said Damon Gonzales, President of the NBA.

 

 

 

Конър Койл (8-0, 3 Нокаута) from Derry, Ireland won the NBA Intercontinental Middleweight Title against Danny Pastrana on June 16, 2018.

 

 

 

William Silva (25-2, 15 Нокаута) from Plant City, Florida won the NBA Lightweight World Title on March 3, 2018 against Rogelio Casarez.

 

 

 

We wish both of the fighters the best as they continue their pugilistic career.
