LaTavia Roberson Signs First Fighter Fernando Bunch

November 5, 2019 FNU47 Efterlad en kommentar

PRESSEMEDDELELSE

HOUSTON, TX–Roberson Sports Management is proud to announce the signing of it’s first fighter, undefeated lightweight Fernando Bunch.

Roberson Sports Management is owned by LaTavia Roberson who is best known as an original member of the R&B group Destiny’s Child, one of the world’s
best-selling groups of all time.

Nine-Time World Champion Roy Jones Jr. is training Fernando Bunch. LaTavia wanted to get a fighter signed, and her team started looking. Since LaTavia owns Slugfest Magazine, and had done a cover story with Roy earlier in the year. Her partner Alfred Adams, Vice President of Roberson Sports Management, asked Roy if he knew of any up and coming prospects. Roy said he had someone LaTavia should look at. Adams immediately took notice of Bunch’s speed and strength.

Fernando Bunch was born Fernando Parks, but in 2010 he and his father decided he should take his father’s last name, and he changed it. Fernando was born in Birmingham, Alabama, og 27 år. He stands 5’11 and campaigns at 130lbs.-135lbs. He is the youngest of 5 brothers. He has about 120 amatør anfald under hans bælte. Both of his parents are God fearing and was raised in the Mount Calvary Baptist Church. Fernando graduated from
Hephzibah High School in 2009 at the top of his class. As of now, he works as a Tech Support specialist at T-Mobile for the last 5 år. Han har 2 daughters, a 7-year-old daughter named Mya Armani and an 8-month-old daughter name Miliana Pelea. They are both his pride & joy and his reason why he strives so hard to be successful in his boxing career and in life.

Fernando started boxing in 2001, in which was a transition from Taekwondo due to disqualifications for obsessive use of punches. Dybest set, he quit because he was more interested in punching than kicking. Throughout his early years of boxing he won State and Regional Junior Olympics, Silver Gloves, Golden Gloves, and competed in the National Golden Gloves, Augusta National Ringside Classics, Title National Paul Murphy, and USA
Championships. He also fought in the 2015 Olympic Trials in Colorado Springs, as well in Philadelphia. In the midst of all those tournaments, his coach left for 2 & 1/2 tours in Iraq. Consequently, his trainer’s absence caused him to miss a lot of opportunities to take part in many national tournaments. Fernando received experience within his amateur boxing career by training with world champions such as the Erislandy Lara and the Charlo Brothers, but he also learned from greats such as Ronnie Shields, Paul Williams and now with his head coach the Great Roy Jones Jr.

Fernando has the potential to have a tremendous professional boxing career. He is always willing to learn, and strongly believes in the saying “The day you stop learning, is the day you stop getting better.” As of right now, Fernando is 9-0 as a professional with 5 Knockouts and trains with Roy Jones Jr in Pensacola, FL.

Fernando’s future goal is to be able to bring a nonprofit boxing gym and program for the youth in his side of town (South side) in Augusta, GA. Desuden, he wants to start a consistent foundation that supplies school and hygiene supplies for the youth before each semester of school. He is also interested in starting a program for young men on how to apply for jobs, conduct themselves in interviews, how to make mature decisions and
manifest goals.

Roy Jones, Jr. protegé Ikram Kerwat 1. kvindelige bokser til overskrift på UFC FIGHT PASS

Maj 22, 2019 FNU47 Efterlad en kommentar

***BOUTS STREAMES LIVE PÅ UFC FIGHT PASS® DETTE***
***TORSDAG AFTEN FRA CASINO DEL SOL I TUCSON, ARIZONA***
***AT 10 P.M. E.T. / 7 P.M. P.T.***

TUCSON, Arizona (Maj 22, 2019) – Tunesien indfødt og mor til to, **Ikram Kerwat**, overskrifter denne torsdag aften for hendes første gang i den indledende kvindelige hovedbegivenhed streamet på RJJ Boxing på UFC FIGHT PASS®, begyndende ved 10 p.m. OG / 7 p.m. PT, live fra Casino Del Sols udendørs AVA Amphitheater i Tucson, Arizona.

Kerwat (9-1, 5 KOS), kæmper ud af Frankfurt, Tyskland, kaster ned med 9-dobbelt verdenstiteludfordrerSimone DaSilva (15-12, 6 KOS), Brasilien, i 10-runders hovedbegivenhed for det ledige World Boxing Council (WBC) kvindelig super fjervægt mesterskab.

***Kerwat vs. DaSilva*** præsenteres af Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions og Kerwat er trænet af en levende legende og 10-dobbelt verdensmesterRoy Jones, Jr.

“Ikram er en spændende fighter med fantastisk kraft og god håndhastighed,” Jones vurderede sin protege. “Hun søger altid at forbedre sig, og jeg ser frem til hendes næste rejse mod en verdensmesterskab.”

Den 35-årige Kerwat er en tidligere WBC International kvindelig letvægtsmester, der skal kæmpe i USA for fjerde gang som profbokser. “Kampen i USA. har altid været en af mine største drømme,” kommenterede hun. “Det er fantastisk. Jeg har allerede en fanbase, og de er virkelig fantastiske. Jeg kan godt lide entusiasme og positive energi i U.S. mennesker.

“Dette er min første hovedbegivenhed, og jeg kan ikke vente med at træde ind i ringen. At blive livestreamet på UFC FIGHT PASS er meget vigtigt for mig, mine fans og, selvfølgelig, min familie. Min sidste kamp blev også livestreamet på FIGHT PASS, og det var fantastisk. Det er jeg glad og taknemmelig for.

“Jeg vil gerne give en stor ros til min familie og min træner og promotor, Roy Jones, Jr., hans vidunderlige kone, **Natlyn Jones**, og, selvfølgelig, RJJ Promotions-teamet for denne mulighed og deres venlighed.”

(L-R) Ikram Kerwat & Roy Jones, Jr.

En pro da 2015, Kerwat mødte Jones første gang ved WBC Convention for tre år siden i Miami. “Det er en ære for mig at læne mig op af en legendarisk bokser som Roy,” tilføjede hun. “Han er en bokseguru! Før jeg mødte Roy, Jeg var en slagsmålsmand, mere en aggressiv fighter. Nu, Jeg vil sige, at jeg lærte at bokse dygtigt. Jeg har lavet en masse forbedringer, og jeg udviklede mig mere, boksningsmæssigt. Jeg voksede mentalt, som er den vigtigste del i boksning og livet.”

Da Silva kan have kæmpet i ni verdensmesterskaber, men Ikram føler ikke, at hun er ringere stillet på grund af sin modstanders fordel i kvalitetsoplevelse. “Min modstander er erfaren, men det betyder ingenting for mig,” bemærkede hun. “Jeg frygter ingen, men jeg respekterer alle boksere, der træder i ringen. Jeg undervurderer ikke nogen, intet mere, og intet mindre. Jeg ser ikke på hende, Jeg ser på mig selv. Det er det eneste jeg har kontrol over. Jeg gør mit arbejde, leve min drøm, og jeg har det sjovt at gøre det. Jeg nyder hvert et minut af det. Dette næste skridt er meget vigtigt for os. Hver eneste kamp bringer mig et skridt tættere på mit mål, hvilket betyder, at hver eneste kamp er vigtig for min karriere. Kampe som denne endnu mere.”

Selvom hun kun havde tre amatørkampe, herunder en guldmedaljepræstation i Berlin-mesterskaberne og at tage bronze i de tyske mesterskaber, Ikram positionerer sig til en verdenstitelkamp i en ikke alt for fjern fremtid, forudsat at hun kommer forbi Da Silva.

“Jeg trænede selv (som amatør) og det var ikke nemt for mig, fordi jeg virkelig ikke var træner, men jeg ville det så gerne og nu endnu mere,” afsluttede Kerwat. “Jeg har to børn, og jeg plejede at sige, at boksning er mit tredje barn. Og det er den ældste. Jeg protesterer og elsker det, sørge for, at jeg udvikler mig og udvikler mig, bliver bedre og bedre.”

I co-featured begivenhed, ubesejret bantamvægtMaks “Baby Face Assassin” Øreringe (12-0-1, 4 KOS), rangeret Nej. 11 i verden af World Boxing Organisation (WBO), samt den regerende NABA USA mester i bantamvægt, støder sammen medAlex “Gino” Rangel (17-9, 4 KOS), Golf, i en kamp på otte runder.

Tidligere UFC fighterJoe “Diesel” Riggs(47-18-1, 1 NC), kæmper ud af Phoenix, får sin professionelle boksedebut i FIGHT PASS-åbningen kontra pro-debutDavid Jones, også af Phoenix, i en fire-runder kamp.

tony penecale’s Box Fan Expo Ringside report

Ved: Tony Penecale

Quick video intro here:

https://www.facebook.com/TornadoTP/videos/10156003723726436/

Last weekend’s middleweight title showdown between Canelo Alvarez and Daniel Jacobs also featured the annual Box Fan Expo, held at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The amazing memorabilia on display and live amateur boxing action complemented an array of past and present world champion fighters available for quick meet and greets.

As a lifelong boxing fan, it was a shame that I only had a little over two hours to spend at the event before heading back to the T-Mobile Arena for the start of the undercard bouts. The time I was able to spend was thoroughly enjoyable. The prices were reasonable to meet these fistic legends and have a few moments to talk and take photos. The average $20 -$25 price for a photo op was significantly less than what would have been lost at the casino in a single roulette spin.

James Toney was there in a suit, proving that he can even make plaid look stylish. For a guy known for a surly nature, he was very accommodating and mentioned he will be in Philadelphia for a live show on June 7 and hopes to see me there.

In the booth next over was Hall-of-Fame broadcaster Al Berstein, who I had the privilege of interviewing in 2011. When told of my admiration of his classy work and being a fan since his days with Barry Tompkins on ESPN’s Thursday Night Fights, he was humble and appreciative.

The line to meet Roy Jones Jr. was long but worth the wait. While the time to talk with Roy was short, I was able to mention what an honor it was to meet one of the greatest performers of my generation and how I sat only a few feet from him when he was on the Creed II set.

While the line to meet the legendary Sugar Ray Leonard was exceptionally long, you could see he was truly enjoying himself, flashing that million-dollar smile and doing his famous fists-raised photo op with fans. Unfortunately, with time running short, I did not have the opportunity to meet one of my favorite fighters growing up. I would have loved to have shown him a photo when I was four-years-old, swinging away on the Sugar Ray Leonard punching bag I was given.

A few feet away was one of Sugar Ray’s most-famous rivals, the great Thomas “Hitman” Hearns. While the Hitman has shown some slowing as he has aged, he still proves to be an imposing figure, but he now replaces that fearsome glare with a warm smile.

Also coming up to meet Thomas Hearns was current IBF Super-Featherweight Champion Tevin Farmer, a fellow Philadelphian, who I’ve had the opportunity to watch grow from a 7-4-1 journeyman boxer to a 29-4-1 verdensmester.

My visit wouldn’t be complete without stopping to see “The Pazmanian Devil” Vinny Paz, always one of my favorite action fighters and charismatic personalities. Instead of a handshake, he greeted me with a big hug and expressed disappointment that my dad didn’t join me at the expo.

In the short time frame, it was impossible to meet all of the great fighters there including Michael Spinks, Riddick Bowe, Errol Spence, Anthony Dirrell, and Earnie Shavers. With it being Cinco de Mayo weekend, the lines for some of the Mexican legends wrapped around the convention center floor. Mikey Garcia, Marco Antonio Barerra, Erik Morales, and Juan Manuel Marquez all proved to be exceptionally popular. But nothing compared to the roar of the pro-Mexican crowd when the great Julio Cesar Chavez was introduced.

Attending this event was a dream come true and I could only wish I had more time to spend at the event. Everything was so professionally done and those in attendance were beyond accommodating.

Kudos to Box Fan Expo for such an exceptional event.

Hits road to face former world champion

Joseph Parker

December. 15 i New Zealand

LAS VEGAS (November 20, 2018) – Former World Boxing Organization (WBO Youth World Heavyweight Champion Alexander “The Great” Flores, promoted by Roy Jones, Jr. Boksning (RJJ), has an opportunity of a lifetime December 15, when the gifted 28-year-old Mexican-American travels halfway around the world to take on former world heavyweight titlist Joseph Parker in New Zealand.

Fighting out of Rowland Heights, California, the heavy-handed Flores (17-1-1, 15 KOS) is confident as he trains at home to face Parker in his backyard.

“There is no way this fight goes 10 runder,” Flores said. “I’m going to knock him out. A lot of people might not have heard of Alexander ‘The Great’ Flores yet, but they’ll all know who I am after December 15th.”

Flores 'ensomme tab som professionel kom 3 ½ years ago against former world champion Charles Martin for the North American Boxing Association (NABF) krone. Blomster, who took the fight with only two weeks’ notice, blev stoppet i fjerde runde.

“Alexander can dramatically change his life by defeating Parker and we’re confident he can go to New Zealand and pull off an upset,” said Keith Veltre, co-promoter of Roy Jones, Jr. Boksning. “Alexander has power in both hands and he will certainly test Parker’s chin. Flores isn’t going over there just for a paycheck, he’s going to send shockwaves throughout the boxing world.”

An impressive victory against Parker, who has lost his last two fights against unified world champion Anthony Joshua and Dillian White, should propel Flores high in the competitive heavyweight division.

“I’m really glad that Alex is coming to New Zealand full of confidence,” remarked Parker, who is training in Las Vegas. "For mig, boxing is all about the challenge, and this is another big one. I know what is at stake. I need to win and win well. I need to knock him out and I will knock him out, but I can’t focus on that. I need to focus on getting better each and every time I get in the ring.”

Parker has never been knocked out as a pro and he’ll be fighting at home for the first time in 1 ½ år.

“After a five-year undefeated run that took Joe all the way to the WBO World title, we now find ourselves in very unusual territory, coming off back-to-back loses,” Parker’s head trainer Kevin Barry noted. “Joe has never been in this position before and needs a top performance. Joe finds himself under huge pressure to not only win this fight, but to win big and get his career back on track.

“These guys (Parker and Flores) are the same height (6’ 4”) and both pack a serious punch, so it stacks up as a great contest. Dette er en farlig kamp, one that Joseph Parker is fighting for his career.”

Parker, dog, may be looking past Flores, according to his recent statements in the media. Første, Parker called out Tony Bellew, who just lost to undisputed, undefeated world cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, and then the big New Zealander said he’d like to fight the winner of Whyte-Derek Chisora II.

I mellemtiden, Flores is training like Rocky to make a major statement, one that promises to surprise a lot of boxing fans.
