Nashville, TN (Mars 8, 2017) – Professional Boxing returns to the Music City when Tri-Star Boxing presents “St Paddy’s Day Fights at the Fairgrounds” Fredag, Mars 17 at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds Sports Arena in Nashville, TN.
The eight bout card features four unbeaten fighters and tickets from $25 are on sale now by going to Tristarboxing.com/tickets. Dørene åpner kl 6 pm and the first fight is at 7.
Headlining this exciting evening of action is a six round super featherweight bout between Hendersonville, TN’s Austin “The Dream” Dulay and iron-chinned Micah Branch of Cincinnati, OH. A multi-time champion as an amateur, the 21-year-old Dulay is a perfect 8-0 med 6 wins by knockout and is building a reputation as a solid prospect.
A 21 fight veteran, Branch has never been stopped and fought a number of unbeaten foes including Mel Crossty, Nate Green, Titus Williams, Brandon Williams, Dimash Niyazov and Derrick Murray.
The co-feature pits Nashville-based Guatemalan Edwin Reyes against Lockhart, TX’s Richard Hernandez in an eight round junior flyweight contest.

Originally from Ghana but now living in Nashville, Agbeko was featured as part of ESPN’s Boxcino Tournament in 2014. During his time away from the ring, Agbeko’s sparred with a number of notable fighters while also making himself a name locally by working as a trainer.
The Atlanta, GA based Hall’s gone the distance with a number of quality fighters including former world champion Jeff Lacy, Juan Ubaldo Cabrera, Morgan Fitch, Immanuwel Aleem and 2008 Olympian Lenin Castillo among others.

NASHVILLE, TN (September 2, 2015) – Ubeseiret Mellom prospektet, Caleb “Søte Hands” Plant (9-0, 8 KOs), gjør en snarlig retur til ringen som han vil møte en motstander TBA på Tirsdag, September 22, 2015 på Sands Casino Resort i Betlehem, Pennsylvania. Den Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) på Fox Sports 1 vil tele kortet headlinet av Julian Williams vs. Luciano Cuello. Plant will open up the telecast which begins at 9PM ET / 6PM PT live på Fox Sports 1.
Med sju første runde knockouts på samvittigheten, Plant, en stigende stjerne, is rapidly establishing himself as one of the most feared fighters in the middleweight division. He’s currently riding a seven fight knockout streak, etter å ha gått distansen bare én gang i karrieren.
I sin siste kamp, som fant sted på August 15, 2015, Plant revet sent sup Zoltan Sera (20-6, 12 KOs) ved hjelp av en første runde knockout. Se etter Caleb Plant å fortsette med en aggressiv stil når han går inn i ringen på september, 22.
“Selv om jeg har et par første runde knockouts, Jeg liker å ta meg tid og plukke bildene mine i mine kamper,” sa Caleb Plant. “Heldigvis, I’ve been able to get my opponents hurt early and get them out of there. I’m prepared to go the distance if I have to, men det er ingen tvil, hvis jeg får min motstander vondt, Jeg går for knockout.”
Kjemper på TV for første gang i hans siste utflukt, Plant is relishing on the fact that his fight will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1. Forvaltes av Al Haymon, Plant ser en lys fremtid.
“Det er virkelig spennende å vite alle mine fans og familie hjemme vil være i stand til å stille inn og se meg kampen,” Plant fort. “I tillegg, de som ikke har hatt en sjanse til å se meg i aksjon, will now get their opportunity. When you have a person like Al Haymon in your corner, det er en veldig tilfredsstillende følelse, because you with hard work opportunities will be there. My goal is to keep working hard and take advantage of every opportunity that comes my way. I’m very pleased to be making a quick return to the ring.
