DEERFIELD BEACH, Floryda (Listopad 26, 2021)—Homecoming At Last! The fight for the forgotten people (the homeless, poor, and downtrodden people) will benefit from this championship doubleheader.

The world’s greatest boxing promoter, Don King, will return to his home state of Ohio on Saturday, Jan. 29, 2022, as he presents another blockbuster for the forgotten people, who won’t be forgotten any more, world championship fight pitting WBC Cruiserweight Champion Ilunga Junior Makabu and the number one challenger, WBC Silver Champion Thabiso Mchunu.

The WBC world championship fight for the love of the people, will be held at the W.D. Packard Music Hall in Warren, OH. In addition to Makabus-Mchunu, a special 10-round heavyweight sensational attraction will pit undefeated Jonathan Guidry (18-0-2, 10 KO) of Dulac, Louisiana risking his perfect record against Alonzo Butler (34-3-2, 25 KO) of Chattanooga, TN.

Król, who represents Makabu, came to an agreement with Mchunu’s representatives on the 12-round world championship fight, and the winner will advance to fight Mexico’s great champion Canelo Alvarez in the month of May.

Alvarez will be ringside in Warren, OH to see who his next opponent will be.

“This is going to be one action packed WBC world championship fight with a very big fight on the horizon for the winner,” said King. “They are both warriors and this war for the recognition of the homeless will start the new year in grand style, recognizing the homeless, and helping others.”

Makabu (28-2 z 25 KO) is from the Democratic Republic of The Congo, defended his championship in his hometown of Kinshasa as he stopped Nigeria’s Olanrewaju Durodola with two solid left hooks in the seventh round last December.

Makabu, who has won his last nine decisions, won the vacant title on Jan. 31, 2020 in winning a unanimous decision against Michael Cieslak.

Thabiso (23-5, 13 KO), who hails from South Africa and is nicknamed “The Rock”, became the WBC Silver Titlist with a unanimous decision over Denis Lebedev on Dec. 21, 2019. He last defended his title and scored another unanimous victory over Evgeny Tishchenko on March 27, 2021. Thabiso has won his last four fights.

Otha Jones III rywalizuje na Letnich Młodzieżowych Igrzyskach Olimpijskich w Buenos Aires 2018

Zostaw komentarz
Prosto z Toledo….
Październik. 6-18 w Argentynie

Colorado Springs, Zakładka. (Październik 4, 2018) – Dwukrotny mistrz narodowy USA Otha Jones III jedzie jutro do Argentyny, aby złożyć oświadczenie na Letnich Igrzyskach Olimpijskich w Buenos Aires, Październik 6-18 w Roca Sports Park.

 

 

 

Jones pochodzi z nowego domu amatorskich mistrzów boksu, Toledo, Ohio, gdzie 18-letni Jones również robi różnicę w swojej społeczności, zwłaszcza po tym, jak jego brat został zastrzelony kilka tygodni temu, gdy jechał na rowerze.

 

 

 

Otha po raz pierwszy zainteresowała się boksem po obejrzeniu sensacji bokserskiej na YouTube. “Myślałem, że to było fajne,” lekki ciężar półśredniej Jones wyjaśnił, “więc poprosiłem ojca, żeby zabrał mnie na siłownię. Wkrótce dowiedziałem się, że jestem w tym dobry, ciężko pracował, a teraz jadę na Olimpiadę Młodzieżową.

 

 

 

“Zawodnicy ze wszystkich siłowni w Toledo pomagają sobie nawzajem. (2017 Mistrz USA w wadze ciężkiej) Jared Anderson jest moim najlepszym przyjacielem. W pierwszym roku trenowaliśmy na tej samej siłowni, ale nigdy z nim nie walczyłem (śmiech), ponieważ jest dla mnie za duży. Jesteśmy teraz na różnych siłowniach. Sześciu bokserów Toledo, pięciu moich kolegów z drużyny, są w programie bokserskim USA, w tym moja siostra, (półśredniej) Oshae Jones, który należy do elitarnego zespołu kobiet rywalizującego teraz w Hiszpanii. Wszyscy pchamy się do granic możliwości.”

 

 

 

Oprócz zdobywania złota w ostatnich dwóch krajowych mistrzostwach USA, zdobył także najwyższe wyróżnienia na 2018 Młodzieżowe Mistrzostwa Kontynentalne, plus srebrny medal na 2018 Turniej Pamięci Emila Jecheva.

 

 

 

Samo opisywane jako niekonwencjonalny bokser-puncher, Jones mówi, że on, “Rzuca ciosy ze wszystkich stron. Mogę dobrze boksować lub siedzieć i walczyć, jeśli muszę.”

 

 

 

Jones, kto ma 267-11 amatorski rekord, już podróżował i brał udział w zawodach w Bułgarii, Węgry i Rosja. Z niecierpliwością czeka na Argentynę, gdzie będzie mieszkał i trenował przez dwa tygodnie w atmosferze wioski olimpijskiej.

 

 

 

“Tak daleko do Młodzieżowej Olimpiady, jak dotąd, jest punktem kulminacyjnym mojej kariery,” powiedział. “Uwielbiam podróżować do różnych krajów, aby poznać i poznać nowe kultury. Moim celem jest walka w 2020 Olimpiada w Japonii i wygraj złoty medal. Muszę poprawić swoje umiejętności; uderzaj mocniej i lepiej umieszczaj moje ciosy.

 

 

 

“Po igrzyskach olimpijskich, Planuję zostać profesjonalistą. Chcę wyprowadzić rodzinę z getta i uzyskać lepsze ubrania i posiłki dla wszystkich.

 

 

 

“Jestem właścicielem Soul City Gym z moim bratem i tatą. Wiele dzieci w Toledo nie ma nic do roboty. Odwiedzamy media społecznościowe, aby powiedzieć tym dzieciom, aby przyszły na siłownię i nabrały formy. Jesteśmy częścią programu, który karmi te dzieci. Czujemy to, mniej czasu na ulicy, możemy pomóc powstrzymać przemoc, jak zabicie mojego brata. Staramy się zabrać dzieci z ulic i na siłownię.”

 

 

Otha Jones III (niebieski)

 

 

 

 

Jones zauważył również, że naprawdę lubi trening w Colorado Springs, nie tylko ze względu na wyjątkowe udogodnienia i coaching, ale dla jego spokoju.

 

 

 

“Myślałem, że jestem w najlepszej formie w Toledo,” Jones dodał, “ale ty tu przychodzisz, a powietrze jest inne. Po treningu na poziomie morza, zmęczysz się tutaj treningiem. Uwielbiam to tutaj. Jest tak wiele ładnych budynków i obiektów, to jest jak małe miasto, tylko bez przestępstwa. Mogę tu być sobą.”

 

 

 

Otha Jones, III ma wpływ na i z pierścienia, czy jest w domu w Toledo, szkolenie w Colorado Springs, lub konkurować na całym świecie.

I just want to take this 1 step at a time. I know what I bring as a fighter, and I am looking forward to showing my skills.”

 

 

 

In Becker, Hines is facing an opponent who is 1-1 z 1 knockout from St. Joseph, Missouri.

 

 

 

“I do not know anything about him. He just needs to know who I am, and if he doesn’t, I will show him on Friday.”

 

 

 

“I am going to work hard, and take this one step at a time. I will be a factor in the heavyweight division before too long.”

 

 

 

Hines is promoted by GH3 Promotions and is co-managed by Chances Aurelius and former NFL star Ray Edwards. Hines is trained by Push Davis.

 

 

 

Mielnicki said, “I am looking for Roney to have around 15 fights before the end of 2019.”

Introducing undefeated welterweight prospect Boubacar Sylla

Zostaw komentarz
Nowy Jork (Lipiec 19, 2017) –Boubacar Sylla is attempting to be the next in a long line of fighters from Cincinnati, Ohio to become world champion.

The 22 year-old Sylla, who is managed by Split-T Management, and has established himself as a prospect to watch as he has raced out to a record of 7-0 z sześcioma przetłoczeniami.

Sylla started boxing at the age of 14 as his grandfather was a boxer, and Sylla decided that’s what he wanted to pursue.

At first it was tough convincing everyone in the family that boxing should be an occupation.

“My mom at first did not want to see me get hurt,” said Sylla. “But now, she supports me fully.”

After an amateur career that saw Sylla go 64-15, Sylla turned professional on February 13, 2016 with a 2nd round stoppage over Shannon Kelly in Chester, Wirginia Zachodnia.

Since then he racked up six more wins, and Sylla continues to grow as a fighter.

“I am a boxer/puncher. I use the ring and technique. I am working on a lot, and I feel that I am getting better with each camp.”

When Sylla goes to camp, he gets good work with local boxers Jamel Herring, Jamontay Clark, Chris Pearson and IBF Lightweight champion Robert Easter.

Sylla has championship pedigree in his corner as he is trained by Tim Singleton, Terrell Nixon and former world bantamweight champion Tim Austin.

Sylla, who has fights scheduled for Sierpień 27, i September 30th, wants to stay active and continue his development.

” I am looking for six or seven fights this year, and then see where I am at. I trust my manager, and I will be ready for when the competition gets tougher. I want to continue to go to these camps and get better.”

Hard work that is combined with dedication and a positive outlook has Sylla very optimistic about his future.

“I stay to myself, and I am not into large crowds or going out to clubs and such. I just stay positive and have positive people like my family around me. I see myself as being undefeated and being around a positive environment, and continue to work in the gym. I am outgoing and always in a good mood, and with that outlook, I feel that I will go far in the sport.”

“Sylla is developing nicely as a second year pro. He’s showing a lot of speed and power in all of his fights. He is a good body puncher, who has excellent size at over 6-foot and his most impressive weapon is a long, blistering, fast jab,” said Tim VanNewhouse of Split-T Management.
“He’s a good and humble kid to work with, and we’re glad to have him apart of the growing Split-T family of fighters. We see good things on the horizon for him.”

Top Bantamweight Antonio Nieves Scorches Hungary’s Szilveszter Ajtai and Sets Sights on Showdown with WBA Champ Warren

Zostaw komentarz

Ostatnia sobota (Listopad 26), Cleveland, Ohio-based bantamweight Antonio “Carita” Nieves stayed busy and kept himself in line for a cross-state showdown with Cincinnati-based WBA Bantamweight Champion Rau’shee Warren by stopping Hungary’s Szilveszter Ajtai with a single body shot.
Fighting at the Firebird Athletic Center in Bedford, Ohio, WBO #5-rated Nieves (17-0-2, 9 KO) planted a single left hook to the Hungarian’s body at :46 seconds of round two to earn his 17th professional victory. Watch the video of the knockout TUTAJ.
The impressive victory keeps alive Nieves’ dream of facing cross-state rival Warren in an all-Ohio bantamweight championship fight.
“The goal has always been to become a world champion,” said Nieves, po walce. “I’d love to fight for the WBO championship and bring that belt back to the United States. The dream fight would be a unification fight with Rau’shee Warren. I would love an all American, all Ohio match up with a great fighter like Rau’shee. We fought once in the amateurs back in 2011 when I had about four hours’ ogłoszenie. He won that fight by decision in Cincinnati. While we have always respected him, the next time we meet, there will be a different result and a different winner.”
Nieves’ promotor, Dmitry Salita of Salita Promotions, says he’s happy with his fighter’s performance.

“Antonio did what he’s supposed to do as one of the world’s best 118-lb fighters,” Said Słowo. “That body shot he landed was one that few fighters could withstand. He’s in perfect shape and ready for his world title shot, which we are working to secure for him in the near future. I’m not sure I want Rau’shee Warren’s people to watch the video though. They may not give us the fight we really want.”
