Wade was a four-time Junior Olympic Champion and a participant in the 2007 Probas olímpicas de boxeo.

 

 

 

He turned professional on March 14, 2009 with a 1st round stoppage over undefeated Chris Davis (3-0). Wade climbed up the rankings with victories over Michael Faulk (2-0), Grover Young (4-0), Nick Brinson (16-1-2) and former world champion Sam Soliman.

 

 

 

Those wins catapulted Wade to face unified Middleweight world champion Gennady Golovkin on April 23, 2016 en The Forum en Inglewood, California.

 

 

 

Wade suffered his only professional defeat in that fight, and has not fought since the world title opportunity.

“It is time to show the world that I am back. I want to take my time until the big fights come up. I can see me in fights against Canelo Alvarez, Golvkin, Daniel Jacobs, Jermall Charlo, Demetrius Andrade or any of the other top middleweights out there. I feel that after a couple of fights, I will be up there with the top names in the division. I am just excited to do my thing. I got to the top of the rankings with just natural talent. Now I have a good team behind me with GH3 Promotions, I have a great work ethic, and I am back with my original trainer Adrian Davis. I feel the best is still ahead of me.”

 

 

 

 

 

“I feel that we can get Dominic back to the top really soon. I plan to have him fight November 17th in Indiana, then I want to bring him back in December in New Jersey, and a 3rd fight in January, that will get him in a fight that will get him in position. He has always had the talent, now he is with us, and we will have him on a schedule to get him back in the rankings, and eventually another world title shot,” said Vito Mielnicki of GH3 Promotions.

Isiah Seldon ready for undefeated middleweight Tyler Howard on November 16th in Oklahoma City

Leave a comment

Atlantic City, NJ (Novembro 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.

 

 

 

O ataque, 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’

Leave a comment

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-year-old 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 socos (28 por cento) while Murata connected with just 180 de 774 (23 por cento).

 

 

 

“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. O pasado mes de outubro, 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.”

Pelexar no soño de UFC feito realidade para o campión de peso mediano M-1 Challenge Artem Frolov

Leave a comment
 

Sete. 15 no UFC Moscow vs. C.B. Dollaway

 

 

 

SAN PETERSBURGO, Rusia (Setembro 5, 2018) – Pelexar no UFC é un soño feito realidade para o invicto campión de peso mediano M-1 Challenge Artem Frolov (11-0-0, M-1: 8-0-0), que fará o seu debut en UFC en setembro 15, loitando na UFC Moscova tarxeta no Estadio Olímpico de Moscova.

 

 

 

Frolov acordou recentemente con pouco tempo (2 semanas) para substituír feridos Omari Ashkedov contra un veterano loitador estadounidense C.B. “O Doberman” Dollaway (17-8-0).

 

 

 

Loitando na casa en Rusia, Frolov, de 26 anos, gañou o seu cinturón de título M-1 Challenge o pasado outubro, cando tomou unha decisión unánime de Caio Magalhaes no M-1 Challenge 84. Este pasado mes de xuño ás M-1 Desafío 93, Frolov fixo a súa primeira e única defensa do título ata a data contra Joe Riggs, que sufriu unha lesión no xeonllo que provocou a paralización dun médico na segunda volta.

 

 

 

Onte, Frolov sentouse para unha entrevista individual:

 

Canto tempo levas traballando nun acordo para asinar co UFC?

 

 

 

DE: “O meu director estivo traballando para ficharme co UFC durante un tempo, pero ata os últimos días, non tiñamos un acordo sólido. Hai uns días, finalmente ofrecéronme un contrato e pediron que interviñese para substituír a un loitador ferido no UFC Moscow.

 

 

 

“Penseino ben e decidín que era unha gran oportunidade para unirme ao UFC, que non quería perderme. Non diría que este contrato foi unha sorpresa para min, a xente estivo traballando niso, así que estaba preparado.”

 

Como se sente ao asinar co UFC?

 

 

 

DE: “Estou emocionado de asinar coa mellor promoción do mundo, pero sei que a miña pelexa debut non será fácil, Vou entrar nun curto aviso só dúas semanas antes do concerto. Ía defender o meu cinto en M-1 Global nun par de meses, entón agora teño que perder peso rapidamente. O máis difícil non é só reducir o peso, pero despois para recuperarse ben. No UFC, Os IV están prohibidos e tes que ter moito coidado cos suplementos que tomas para recuperarte.”

Que forma estás para esta loita tendo en conta só dúas semanas de antelación?

 

 

 

DE: “Estaba preparándome para unha loita en M-1 Global, polo que estou en boa forma. Imos traballar na miña velocidade agora pero primeiro, Teño que reducir peso. Unha vez na miña carreira pelei nun curto prazo, Tiven tres semanas para prepararme e gañei esa loita por nocaut técnico na segunda rolda.”

 

Que sabes do teu opoñente, C.B. Dollaway?

 

 

 

DE: “Vin un par de C.B. As loitas de Dollaway en UFC, pero nunca o considerei como o meu opoñente, polo que non lle fixo demasiado caso. Hai moitos bos loitadores no UFC, polo que non podo dicir que sei moito do meu rival. Non temos tempo suficiente para concentrarnos nel, así que concentrarémonos en min.”

 

Cando cres que podes desafiar aos mellores loitadores de UFC da túa categoría de peso??

 

 

 

DE: “Non vou esixir grandes pelexas cos principais opoñentes do UFC. Tomarei o meu tempo e estarei preparado para loitar contra calquera opoñente que me dean. Necesito tempo para acostumarme ás novas condicións, afina a miña preparación, e poñer en orde todo o sistema e entón estarei preparado para calquera reto.

 

 

 

“Todo está nas nosas mans; nada é imposible. Se alguén quere algo mal, establece un obxectivo e traballa duro para logralo, el ou ela terá éxito. Só son un rapaz normal que tiña un soño de loitar no UFC e conseguín. Soña en grande, establecer obxectivos e alcanzalos!”

VICTORY BOXING PROMOCIÓNS TINTAS GUANTES DE OURO CAMPIÓN NACIONAL KIANTE IRVING

Leave a comment

PITTSBURGH – Agosto 29, 2018 – Victory Boxing Promotions de Chris Middendorf asinou un afeccionado baixo o radar Kiante Irving a un trato promocional. O 24 O peso mediano de un ano debutará profesionalmente este domingo en West Virginia.

 

 

 

A 6’3″ medios, Irving diríxese ao debut do domingo cun Campionato Nacional de Luvas de Ouro no seu cinto, superando a división de 165 libras no 2018 torneo. A pesar de moitos títulos estatais e nacionais no seu haber, Irving comezou a boxear tarde, en comparación cos seus compañeiros.

 

 

Era 16 cando entrou no ximnasio de Tom Yankello, tendo sido atraído polo círculo cadrado despois de ser incapaz de atopar o seu oco noutros deportes. Criado por unha nai solteira, o boxeo foi unha saída para Irving, e serviu de escape da pobreza e do estrés que albergaba a súa vida familiar. Pronto quedou claro que o boxeo formaría parte do seu futuro durante moito tempo.

 

 

 

Un espírito humilde, Irving mantivo a cabeza baixa e o ollo posto no balón a través de varios traumas familiares que incluíron un desafiuzamento e a batalla case fatal do seu irmán coa enfermidade de Chrohn.. O seu irmán menor, a quen acredita como inspiración e modelo a seguir, sobreviviu ao choque coa morte para converterse en bombeiro. Irving espera aproveitar o seu tempo no ring para aumentar a conciencia sobre a enfermidade, e aproveitar a oportunidade de vivir os seus soños, como fixo o seu irmán nos últimos anos.

 

 

 

Despois da súa vitoria dos luvas de ouro, O adestrador de Irving, Tom Yankello, e o seu irmán e co-xerente Mark Yankello, xunto con Irving, chegou á decisión de que era o momento de incorporarse ás filas profesionais. Os dous directivos, operando baixo o lema Tom Yankello Boxing, Inc, conectado co promotor de boxeo Chris Middendorf e Victory Boxing Promotions. Middendorf, que axudou a construír a carreira de moitos dos campións do mundo actuais, aproveitou a oportunidade para traballar con Irving e os Yankellos.

 

 

 

“Estou moi emocionado de engadir a Kiante ao establo de Victory Boxing,” dixo Middendorf. Tiven o pracer de facer unha serie de concertos en Pittsburgh co peso welter Sammy Vasquez, culminando cun ESPN e despois un show de ShowBox, e unha serie de eventos no Consol Energy Center [agora o PPG Arena.] Non podo esperar para volver a Pittsburgh, promovendo outra perspectiva superior. Realmente é unha cidade deportiva tremenda, e realmente saen para apoiar aos seus deportistas locais.”

 

 

 

Middendorf foi un complemento dos Yankello Brothers. “Coñecín ao seu adestrador e co-director, Tom e Mark Yankello, respectivamente, pola reputación durante moitos anos, e gustoume traballar con eles. Cando Mark me falou por primeira vez de Kiante, Souben inmediatamente que quería traballar cos Yankellos e promover a Kiante Irving. Coa súa estelar carreira afeccionada, está preparado para ser un profesional.”

 

 

 

O futuro parece brillante (e ocupado) para Irving. “Planeo construír e mover a Kiante do mesmo xeito que movín a Ed Brown e a Jaron Ennis. Prometínlle un mínimo de oito pelexas no seu primeiro ano, e sei que faremos máis. É un atleta dotado e vai ser algo para ver como se converte nun dos mellores pesos medianos.”

 

 

 

Pola súa banda, Tom Yankello está entusiasmado co futuro do mozo puxilista con Middendorf e Victory Boxing Promotions. “Estou moi satisfeito con Victory Boxing Promotions. Coñezo a Chris dende hai moitos anos, e ten un gran currículo e estivo involucrado na construción das carreiras de boxeadores de elite como Terence Crawford, Leo Santa Cruz, Nonito donaire e. Sabemos que estamos en boas mans, e que Chris sabe moverse e desenvolver Kiante.”

 

 

 

“Estou emocionado de que a miña carreira profesional avance,” dixo Irving da sinatura. “Os meus xestores confían, e estou seguro de que imos ter éxito baixo a bandeira de Victory Boxing, e poñerémonos a traballar.”

 

 

 

Irivng fai o seu debut profesional este domingo no Mountaineer Casino Racetrack & Recurso, contra Vincent Burkhalter de Filadelfia. As entradas están dispoñibles en www.mademenboxing.com.

Three-Hour Premier Boxing Champions Show Features Jamal James Delivering Second Round Knockout of Mahonry Montes in Front of Hometown Crowd Friday Night on FS1 & FOX Deportes from The Armory in Minneapolis

Leave a comment

MINNEAPOLIS (Agosto 24, 2018) – Contender peso welter Jamal James (24-1, 11 Kos)gave his hometown crowd a treat as he sent Mahonry Montes (35-8-1, 24 Kos)to the canvas for a second round knockout in the main event of a jam-packed three-hour night of Premier Boxeo League action Friday fromthe Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

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 e 100-90 dúas veces.

 

 

 

The opening bout of the telecast featured fast-rising prospect and 2016 Lithuanian Olympian Eimantas Stanionis (7-0, 5 Kos) as he earned a unanimous decision over Levan Ghvamichava (18-4-1, 13 Kos)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 e 79-73 dúas veces.

 

 

 

Additional action saw Jeison Rosario (16-1-1, 11 Kos) score a unanimous decision over Jamontay Clark (13-1, 7 Kos) 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 e 97-92, all in favor of Rosario.

 

 

 

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

Leave a comment

Tapa, Florida – (Agosto 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.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

William Silva (25-2, 15 KO) 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.
