Laisser un commentaire

Atlantic City, New Jersey (Novembre 1, 2018) – Middleweight Isiah Seldon is getting ready for his biggest fight of his career when he takes on undefeated Tyler Howard in a bout scheduled for eight-round on November 16th at The Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.

 

 

 

Le combat, which is promoted by Top Rank, will be streamed live on ESPN+.

 

 

 

The main event will see WBO Junior Welterweight champion Maurice Hooker defending against Alex Saucedo.

 

 

 

Seldon (12-1-1, 4 KOs) has been training in Atlantic City under the watchful eye of Bill Johnson.

 

 

 

“I am looking forward to this great opportunity,” said Seldon. “I have been longing for an opportunity to take on a fighter such as Howard as a win will take my career to the next level.”

 

 

 

Team Seldon, has been working diligently with longtime manager Jim Kurtz very excited about the opportunity that Seldon has in front of him.

 

 

 

“It doesn’t get any bigger than fighting on a Top Rank show with an explosive main event between Hooker and Saucedo. The staff at Top Rank has been top notch. I am really excited for Isiah to get this opportunity to display his talents on a big stage. Myself and co-manager Joe Thompson are convinced Isiah is ready to shine on November 16th and it can’t get here fast enough,” said Kurtz, who has managed Seldon from day one.

 

 

 

Kurtz also managed Seldon’s father, WBA Heavyweight champion, Bruce Seldon.

 

 

 

“Isiah has reunited with his original trainer Bill Johnson and they haven’t skipped a beat. This is the first time Isiah has had a full fledged training camp. We haven’t left any stone unturned in preparation for this fight. Isiah’s conditioning is at a point that I have never seen with him before. He is getting great sparring and his improvement working with Bill in preparation for this fight has been incredible. He is ready to show the world a new and improved Isiah Seldon. He has a large legacy to follow being the son of former WBA Heavyweight Champion Bruce Seldon but Isiah is determined to make his own mark on the sport of boxing.”

 

 

 

“He has always had power in both hands, scoring knockdown in almost every fight, but now he is learning to remain calm and finish guys instead of getting overly excited and letting them off the hook. He is punching harder than ever before, putting his punches together and his boxing ability has reached a level where he can control the pace of the fight. We have taken it slow with Isiah considering he didn’t have any amateur fights but we are now at the point where he is ready to make his mark on the Middleweight division.”

 

 

 

“We know Tyler Howard is a good undefeated fighter. He had a good amateur career, comes from a family with a boxing background, and has a solid management team who have done a great job with him. On November 16th we expect a tough fight with some fireworks but we are confident Isiah will emerge victorious and this will lead us to bigger and better opportunities.”

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

Laisser un commentaire

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-ans Brant (24-1, 16 KOs) says he went into his main-event showdown with then champion Ryota Murata (14-2, 11 KOs), 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 de 1,262 poinçons (28 pour cent) while Murata connected with just 180 de 774 (23 pour cent).

 

 

 

“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. Octobre dernier, 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.”

Sept. 15 à UFC Moscow vs. C.B. Dollaway

 

 

 

SAINT-PÉTERSBOURG, Russie (Septembre 5, 2018) – Combattre à l'UFC est un rêve devenu réalité pour le champion poids moyen invaincu du M-1 Challenge Artem Frolov (11-0-0, M-1: 8-0-0), qui fera ses débuts à l'UFC en septembre 15, combat sur UFC Moscou carte au stade olympique de Moscou.

 

 

 

Frolov a récemment convenu d'un court préavis (2 semaines) pour remplacer les blessés Omari Ashkedov contre un combattant américain vétéran C.B. “Le Doberman” Dollaway (17-8-0).

 

 

 

Se battre à domicile en Russie, Frolov, 26 ans, a remporté sa ceinture de champion du M-1 en octobre dernier, quand il a pris une décision unanime de Caio Magalhaes au M-1 Défi 84. En juin dernier à M-1 Défi 93, Frolov a fait sa première et seule défense de titre à ce jour contre Joe Riggs, qui a subi une blessure au genou qui a entraîné l'arrêt du médecin au deuxième tour.

 

 

 

Hier, Frolov s'est assis pour une entrevue individuelle:

 

Depuis combien de temps travaillez-vous sur un accord pour signer avec l'UFC?

 

 

 

DE: “Mon manager travaille à me signer avec l'UFC depuis un certain temps, mais jusqu'aux derniers jours, nous n'avions pas d'accord solide. Il y a quelques jours, ils m'ont finalement offert un contrat et ont demandé à remplacer un combattant blessé à l'UFC Moscou.

 

 

 

“J'ai réfléchi et j'ai décidé que c'était une excellente occasion de rejoindre l'UFC, que je ne voulais pas manquer. Je ne dirais pas que ce contrat a été une surprise pour moi, les gens y ont travaillé, alors j'étais prêt.”

 

Comment vous sentez-vous de signer avec l'UFC?

 

 

 

DE: “Je suis ravi de signer avec la meilleure promotion au monde, mais je sais que mon premier combat ne sera pas facile, Je suis intervenu dans un court délai deux semaines seulement avant le spectacle. J'allais défendre ma ceinture en M-1 Global dans quelques mois, alors maintenant je dois perdre du poids rapidement. La chose la plus difficile n'est pas seulement de réduire le poids, mais après pour bien récupérer. Dans l'UFC, Les IV sont interdits et vous devez être extrêmement prudent avec les suppléments que vous prenez pour récupérer.”

Dans quelle forme êtes-vous pour ce combat compte tenu d'un préavis de deux semaines seulement?

 

 

 

DE: “Je me préparais pour un combat en M-1 Global, donc je suis en forme. Nous allons travailler sur ma vitesse maintenant mais d'abord, Je dois perdre du poids. Une fois dans ma carrière, je me suis battu dans un court délai, J'ai eu trois semaines pour me préparer et j'ai gagné ce combat par TKO au deuxième tour.”

 

Que savez-vous de votre adversaire, C.B. Dollaway?

 

 

 

DE: “J'ai vu quelques C.B. Les combats UFC de Dollaway, mais je ne l'ai jamais considéré comme mon adversaire, donc ne lui a pas fait trop attention. Il y a beaucoup de bons combattants dans l'UFC, donc je ne peux pas dire que j'en sais beaucoup sur mon adversaire. On n'a pas assez de temps pour se concentrer sur lui, nous allons donc nous concentrer sur moi.”

 

Quand pensez-vous pouvoir défier les meilleurs combattants UFC de votre catégorie de poids?

 

 

 

DE: “Je ne vais pas exiger d'énormes combats avec les meilleurs adversaires de l'UFC. Je prendrai mon temps et serai prêt à combattre tout adversaire qu'ils me donneront. J'ai besoin de temps pour m'habituer à de nouvelles conditions, affiner ma préparation, et mettre de l'ordre dans tout le système, puis je serai prêt à relever tous les défis.

 

 

 

“Tout est entre nos mains; rien n'est impossible. Si quelqu'un veut vraiment quelque chose, se fixe un objectif et travaille dur pour l'atteindre, il ou elle réussira. Je suis juste un gars ordinaire qui rêvait de se battre à l'UFC et je l'ai fait. Rêvez grand, fixer des objectifs et les atteindre!”

VICTORY BOXING PROMOTIONS ENCRES CHAMPIONNAT NATIONAL DES GANTS D'OR KIANTE IRVING

Laisser un commentaire

PITTSBURGH – Août 29, 2018 – Victory Boxing Promotions de Chris Middendorf a signé un amateur sous le radar Kiante Irving à une offre promotionnelle. Le 24 Un poids moyen d'un an devrait faire ses débuts professionnels ce dimanche en Virginie-Occidentale.

 

 

 

A 6’3″ moyens, Irving entame les débuts de dimanche avec un championnat national des gants d'or à son actif, ayant dominé la division des 165 livres dans le 2018 tournoi. Malgré une multitude de titres d'État et nationaux à son actif, Irving a commencé à boxer tard, par rapport à ses pairs.

 

 

Il était 16 quand il est entré dans la salle de sport de Tom Yankello, avoir été attiré par le cercle carré après avoir été incapable de trouver sa place dans d'autres sports. Élevé par une mère célibataire, la boxe était un débouché pour Irving, et a servi d'échappatoire à la pauvreté et au stress qui régnaient sa vie à la maison. Il est vite devenu clair que la boxe ferait longtemps partie de son avenir.

 

 

 

Un esprit humble, Irving a gardé la tête baissée et les yeux rivés sur le ballon à travers divers traumatismes familiaux, notamment une expulsion et la bataille presque fatale de son frère contre la maladie de Chrohn. Son petit frère, qu'il attribue comme une inspiration et un modèle, a survécu au pinceau de la mort pour devenir pompier. Irving espère utiliser son temps sur le ring pour sensibiliser davantage à la maladie, et saisir l'opportunité de vivre ses rêves, tout comme son frère l'a fait ces dernières années.

 

 

 

Après sa victoire aux gants d'or, Tom Yankello, l'entraîneur d'Irving, et son frère et co-manager Mark Yankello, avec Irving, est venu à la décision qu'il était temps de rejoindre les rangs professionnels. Les deux gérants, opérant sous la bannière Tom Yankello Boxing, Inc., connecté avec le promoteur de boxe Chris Middendorf et Victory Boxing Promotions. Middendorf, qui a contribué à bâtir la carrière de nombreux champions du monde d’aujourd’hui, a saisi l'opportunité de travailler avec Irving et les Yankellos.

 

 

 

“Je suis très heureux d’ajouter Kiante à l’écurie de Victory Boxing,” dit Middendorf. J'ai eu le plaisir de faire une série de spectacles à Pittsburgh avec les poids welters Sammy Vasquez, culminant avec un ESPN puis un show ShowBox, et une série d'événements au Consol Energy Center [maintenant la PPG Arena.] J'ai hâte d'être de retour à Pittsburgh, promouvoir un autre meilleur prospect. C'est vraiment une formidable ville sportive, et ils viennent vraiment soutenir leurs athlètes locaux.”

 

 

 

Middendorf était élogieux des Yankello Brothers. “J'ai connu son entraîneur et co-manager, Tom et Mark Yankello, respectivement, par réputation depuis de nombreuses années, et j'ai aimé travailler avec eux. Quand Mark m'a parlé pour la première fois de Kiante, J'ai tout de suite su que je voulais travailler avec les Yankellos et promouvoir Kiante Irving. Avec sa brillante carrière d'amateur, il est prêt à être un pro.”

 

 

 

L'avenir s'annonce radieux (et occupé) pour Irving. “Je prévois de construire et de déplacer Kiante de la même manière que j'ai déplacé Ed Brown et Jaron Ennis. Je lui ai promis un minimum de huit combats dans sa première année, et je sais que nous ferons plus. C'est un athlète doué et ce sera quelque chose de le voir devenir l'un des meilleurs poids moyens.”

 

 

 

Pour sa part, Tom Yankello est enthousiasmé par l’avenir du jeune pugiliste avec Middendorf et Victory Boxing Promotions. “Je suis très satisfait des promotions Victory Boxing. Je connais Chris depuis de nombreuses années, et il a un excellent CV et a été impliqué dans la construction de la carrière de boxeurs d'élite tels que Terence Crawford, Leo Santa Cruz, Nonito Donaire et. Nous savons que nous sommes entre de bonnes mains, et que Chris sait bouger et développer Kiante.”

 

 

 

“Je suis juste ravi de faire avancer ma carrière professionnelle,” dit Irving de la signature. “Mes managers sont confiants, et je suis convaincu que nous réussirons sous la bannière Victory Boxing, et nous nous mettrons au travail.”

 

 

 

Irivng fait ses débuts professionnels ce dimanche à l'hippodrome du casino Mountaineer & Recours, contre Vincent Burkhalter de Philadelphie. Les billets sont disponibles sur www.mademenboxing.com.
