Georganiseerd door Premier Boxing Champions
Live op Showtime
–Tickets in de uitverkoop Donderdag, Juni 15 bij 10 a.m.—
BROOKLYN (Juni 13, 2017) –Vier-afdeling wereldkampioen Adrien “Het Probleem” Broner en drie-divisie wereldkampioen Mikey Garcia square off in a blockbuster matchup in the main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®, Zaterdag, Juli 29, live op Showtime, presented by Premier Boxing Champions at Barclays Center, het huis van BROOKLYN BOKSEN ™.
Tickets to the event, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and DiBella Entertainment, zijn geprijsd op $950, $750, $350, $300, $250, $150, $75, en $50 (niet met inbegrip van toepasselijke vergoedingen), and will go on sale on Donderdag, Juni 15 bij 10 a.m. EN, en kunnen worden gekocht bij ticketmaster.com, barclayscenter.com of door te bellen naar 800-745-3000. Tickets can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center starting Vrijdag, Juni 16 in de avond (Als tickets zijn nog beschikbaar). Groep kortingen zijn verkrijgbaar door te bellen naar 844-BKLYN-GP.
“Broner vs. Garcia is one of the year’s biggest matchups in boxing and we anticipate an electric atmosphere at Barclays Center,” zei Brett Yormark, CEO van Brooklyn Sports & Vermaak. “This will be our fourth major card in 2017 as BROOKLYN BOXING continues to deliver dramatic moments, competitieve gevechten, and many of the sport’s biggest names to fight fans.”
Broner and Garcia, two world-class fighters in their prime, meet at a critical time in their respective careers in one of the most intriguing matches in boxing. Both Broner and Garcia have had spectacular victories at Barclays Center in Brooklyn during their careers. Broner successfully defended his welterweight title against Paulie Malignaggi at Barclays Center on June 22, 2013, and Garcia, coming off a lengthy layoff, defeated Elio Rojas via fifth-round TKO at the arena on July 30, 2016.
Broner, a three-division world champion by the age of 23, and one of the youngest four-division world champions in boxing history, remains one of the most accomplished and popular athletes in the sport today. Among the top 140-pounders in the world, Broner is undefeated at or below 140 pounds with his only two losses coming against welterweight world champions Marcos Maidana and Shawn Porter. Op slechts 27 jaar oud, Broner (33-2, 24 KO) still believes he is the future of the sport and looks to prove it against Garcia onZaterdag, Juli 29.
Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, Broner has achieved more in his young career than most fighters can hope for in a lifetime. After earning world titles at 130, 135 en 147 pond, Broner won a belt in a fourth weight division – 140 pond – in oktober 2015 when he defeated Khabib Allakhverdiev via 12th round stoppage to become the second youngest four-division champion in boxing history at 26 (behind Oscar De La Hoya, 24). Broner will turn 28 years old on Juli 28, the day before his bout with Garcia.
Garcia, 29 years old and undefeated (36-0, 30 KO), is a recently crowned lightweight champion and one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the sport. He will move up in weight for the second time in just three fights to challenge Broner. Garcia is a member of a renowned boxing family, and is noted for his sportsmanship and his commanding presence in the ring, honed by his brother and acclaimed trainer Robert Garcia. He has held world titles at 126, 130 en 135 pond, but has never fought above 138.
Garcia, of Moreno Valley by way of Oxnard, Calif., returned to the ring after a two-and-half-year layoff in July 2016 without missing a beat. After defeating Rojas, Garcia became a three-division champion by beating previously undefeated lightweight world champion Dejan Zlaticanin with a vicious third-round knockout this January. Garcia has stopped 19 van zijn laatste 21 opponents including Roman “Rotsachtig” Martinez, Juan Manuel Lopez, Orlando Salido and Bernabe Concepcion.

Famed manager Stan Hoffman & World champion Regelio Tuur Ring 8’s June Guest Speakers

Laat een reactie achter
Dinsdag, Juni 20 in O'Neill's Restaurant
In Maspeth, NY

NEW YORK (Juni 12, 2017) – New York State Boxing Hall-of-Famer, manager Stan Hoffman, en voormalig wereldkampioen Regelio “Turbo” Tuur will be Ring 8 guest speakers at its June monthly meeting op dinsdag nacht (Juni 20), vanaf 7 p.m. EN, at O’Neill’s Restaurant in Maspeth, New York.

This coming Ring 8 meeting is sponsored by Top Rank and DiBella Entertainment.

“Ring 8 is looking forward to having Stan Hoffman and Regelio Tuur as our featured speakers this month,” Ring 8 president Jack Hirsch zei. “Stan has managed or advised many world champions over his career, Tuur included. He will have some fascinating stories to share with us. Although Tuur was a world champion as a professional it was his one-punch knockout of Kelvin Banks in the Olympics that many remember him for. It will be nice to hear him relive that and other fights of his stellar career.”
Hofman, 86, heeft beheerd, geadviseerd of bevorderd 38 wereldkampioenen tijdens bijna 50 jaar werkzaam in de boksindustrie. Een product van Brooklyn en Bronx, Hoffman adviseert nog steeds enkele boxen en woont gevechten bij, maar hij brengt graag tijd door met zijn gezin, vooral zijn kleinkinderen.
Hoffman worked with 38 world champions starting in 1980 met Joe Manleyand later including his first world heavyweight champion, Michaël Bennt, as well as others such as Hasim Rahman, Iran Barkley en James Toney.
Suriname-native Tuur (46-4-1, 30 KO), who fought out of Hoogvliet, Nederland, was een 1988 Olympiër. In 1991, Tuur became the New York State lightweight champion and the following year, he captured the European super featherweight titlist.
Tuur defeated 28-1-1 Eugene Speed by 12-round unanimous decision to become World Boxing Organization (WBO) World Super Featherweight Champion. He held the WBO crown for two years, (1994-1996), successfully defending it six times, before retiring for five years until he made a comeback in 2001.

Melson to run for New York Congress

Laat een reactie achter
Campaign FB page banner pic.JPG
Voor onmiddellijke publicatie
New York, NY (Mei 3, 2017) – Retired professional boxer, current public speaker, 2003 West Point graduate and Army Public Affairs Officer Boyd Melson announced he’ll run for Congress in 2018 for New York’s 11th District, covering Staten Island and South Brooklyn.
Born to a Jewish mother & Louisiana Creole father, Melson’s a lifelong New Yorker who’s dedicated most of his adult life to serving the public. The 35-year-old has resided in Manhattan, Brooklyn and White Plains. Melson also has close ties to Staten Island, where he currently runs free boxing clinics for men and women battling or recovering from addiction.
Following an outstanding amateur boxing career, Melson turned pro in 2010 with the sole intention of raising funds and awareness. Between donating 100% of his fight purses, private donations in his honor and charity galas, Melson, Co-Founder of Team Fight To Walk, helped raise more than $400,000 to help cure Chronic Spinal Cord Injuries, combat Staten Island’s drug epidemic and assist his childhood friend with a son battling brain cancer. He retired from boxing in 2016 met een 15-2-1 record, winning a World Boxing Council (WBC) United States Championship in 2015.
Upon the competition of his final professional fight, Promoter Lou DiBella said he’d never promoted a better man than Boyd Melson.
His unique mission through boxing was chronicled by The Huffington Post, ESPN, Yahoo, Sports Illustrated, HBO Real Sports and The Wall Street Journal among many other media outlets.
As a public and motivational speaker, Melson’s addressed an array of audiences, many of which he spoke to pro bono. His audiences include attendees at New York’s 2017 Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) Conference, elementary to college age students, Army Battalions, Army Corps level leadership, college sports teams, Fortuin 500 companies and religious organizations. He also served as a mentor at Steve Harvey’s Youth Mentorship Camp in July 2016 and was a special guest at various charitable events in New York.
Currently serving our country through the US Army Reserves, literally fighting to raise funds and having traveled the country to assist and motivate others, Melson epitomizes the meaning of a public servant.
“I need to continue my service to this nation. I have a heavy task in front of me. I am committed. I have a tremendous fight in my spirit for what is right. I was born mixed with African, Iers, Native American, Frans, Dutch, Spaans, and I am Jewish. Perhaps I am a good example of one of the aspects as to why us American citizens are what makes us great- we the people. We combine our strengths. We are the best of all cultures. We are strong, and we do not allow ourselves to be seduced by fear. I understand that my decisions will hurt people, despite my intentions.”
“I understand that in the American citizens’ eyes, I will be the face in the district I am running in, that will be responsible for anything good or bad our government may cause in any of the constituents lives. This is why I will always be present. I focus on how many I still have hurting, not how many I have helped. I will be in the community, at events, highly visible, and highly accessible. My job will be to answer to you, the constituents I am responsible for. I am built for this, my life has prepared me. I will continue my willingness to be knocked down and get back up to keep fighting. I will inspire you to believe in my spirit. Fighters fight! Ik ben een vechter. District 11 must know that I am ready to fight in their corner.”

Topboksrechter Steve Weisfeld & Populaire New Yorkse weltergewicht Johnny Turner Ring 8 Gastsprekers dinsdag, April 18

Laat een reactie achter
Voor onmiddellijke publicatie
NEW YORK (April 7, 2017) – Een van de meest gerespecteerde boksrechters, Steve Weisfeld, en populair gepensioneerd weltergewicht uit New York Johnny Turner zal de gastsprekers van Ring 8 zijn tijdens de bijeenkomst in april, Dinsdagavond, April 18 (7 p.m. EN begin) in O'Neill's Restaurant, gevestigd in 64-21 53rd rijden, Maspeth, NY 11378.
“We zijn verheugd om zowel Steve Weisfeld als Johnny Turner als gastsprekers te hebben op onze volgende bijeenkomst,” Ring 8 president Jack Hirsch zei. “Weisfeld is een van de beste juryleden in de sport en heeft enkele van de grootste gevechten geleverd. Met alle controversiële beslissingen die we door de jaren heen hebben gezien, het zal fascinerend zijn om Weisfelds kijk op de zaken te horen.
“Johnny Turner was een van de meest charismatische boksers in de New Yorkse scene in de jaren zeventig en tachtig. Hij had ook een rol in de film, Raging Bull. Het zal veel warme herinneringen oproepen als hij herinneringen ophaalt aan zijn carrière.”
Een inwoner van New Jersey, Weisfeld heeft meer dan geoordeeld 1,200 vecht tijdens zijn 25-jarige carrière, waaronder talloze wereldkampioenschappen over de hele wereld. Zijn laatste was het wereldkampioenschap middengewicht in Madison Square Garden Gennady “GGG” Golovkin en Daniel Jacobs.
draaier (42-6-2, 32 KO) was een belangrijk onderdeel van de boksscene in New York 1979 naar 1984. Het weltergewicht uit Brooklyn vocht vrijwel overal in New York, waaronder de beroemde Madison Square Garden en de legendarische Sunnyside Garden in Queens. Zijn meest opvallende tegenstander was de toekomstige Hall of Famer Wilfredo Benitez, die wereldkampioen in drie divisies werd.
