“I’m very happy for the fact that we made the audience happy and we delivered such great joy to our fans. To those who follow our career and Bellator events.

“Its much easier for me to perform in America. I don’t have such huge attention, or maybe I do get the attention, but all the events are strictly planned. Here at home all our camp and our preparation for the fight took place under the supervision of media, journalists and so forth and so on.

“Its difficult to say, I think this is one of the most important wins of my career taking into consideration the location, the country (Росія), the age. Taking into consideration the force of Tim Johnson, who is a strong opponent.

“Thank god I’m still in sports and I’m not losing my speed.

“Its difficult to answer the ‘what if’ questions. I would like to say that at this moment I’m not planning on finishing my career. I will talk to Scott Coker and my family.”

Чи не. 8 Сказала Соума (8-2) Def. Віталій Мінаков (22-2) через TKO за адресою 3:08 три раунди з

Сказала Соума:
“I couldn’t hit the guy while he was fixing his finger when it was broken. I told the ref that his finger was messed up when he was telling us to keep fighting. I want to fighting him like a true martial artist, not like that.

“I haven’t thought about who’s next, I’m just excited about this one right now. He was a lot heavier than I was, but it wasn’t a fight that I took on short notice. I just wanted a step up in opponents. I believe that if you fight bums your whole life, then you will be a bum. I hope I laid a path for everyone at home that you can achieve anything you set your mind to no matter where you’re from.

“Minakov didn’t finish me in one minute like he usually does with his opponents so I’m pretty happy, but it was definitely a bit of a bittersweet win for me.”

“I want to take on a top fighter next. A Top-10 or Top-15 fighter, it doesn’t really matter to me, but I want a top fighter. I will need about a week of rest and then I will be back and ready to go.

“I have not yet talked to Scott Coker about anything in relation to title shots. I don’t know who will win the world title fight between Patricky Pitbull and Peter Queally, but I’m going to take that belt and bring it back home with me.”

Анатолій Токов (30-2) Def. Шараф Давлатмурадов (18-4-1) за очками (29-28, 29-28, 28-29)

Анатолій Токов:

“I felt a little bit rusty in this fight because of the two-year absence. It felt like my reach was a bit off. It was not an easy fight. I was glad that it went three rounds because it allowed me to breath and it allowed me to take control of the situation.”
“Nothing was surprising about this fight because we used to train together and I know his strengths and I know that he’s a really serious fighter.

World-Rated Russian Light Heavyweight Ali Izmailov Returns Saturday for Showdown Against Detroit’s James Ballard in Dearborn, МОЇ

У цю суботу, Жовтень 16, IBF #11, WBC #14 and WBO #15 light heavyweight Ali Izmailov (5-0, 3 КО) returns to action against capable hometown veteran James Ballard (10-3, 3 КО) in the eight-round main event of promoters Kenny D Moore and Vi Tran’s of Second 2 None Promotions’ “Best of Tomorrow 12” event at the Performance Arts Center in Dearborn, Мічиган.


The 28-year-old Izmailov, from Malgobek, Росія, is a former amateur standout who won multiple elite international tournaments. Already world-rated as a professional at just 5-0, 3 КО, Izmailov recently started working with world-famous Florida-based trainer John David Jackson at his Action Jackson Boxing Academy in Fort Lauderdale.


Джексон, who has spent the last three weeks sizing up his new protegee, says Izmailov is a diamond in the rough waiting for polish.


“The sky is the limit for him with his punching power,” said Jackson of Izmailov. “He’s a tremendous puncher, but he’s also got natural boxing skills. Як боєць, I don’t think he realizes his potential. I’m getting him to move his head more and throw more combinations, instead of one power punch at a time. Nothing against his old trainers, but once he learns to throw three or four shots to set them up and camouflage the hard ones, he will be unstoppable.”


Jackson says the 32-year-old Ballard will be a good test for Izmailov and his newfound skills, but shouldn’t be able to derail any of their plans.


“Ballard is good, but Ali just has to pressure him and go to the body to break him down. Once his opponents feel his power, they all have a change of heart. Once Ali hits him with some good shots, it’ll be a matter of time.”


“Ali has amazing potential to be a star and John David is the perfect trainer to bring that out of him,” said Izmailov’s promoter, Дмитро Саліта. “I think you’ll see the improvements immediately under his expert tutelage. Ali was already the best prospect in the light heavyweight division.”


Tickets for “Best of Tomorrow 12” are priced at $25 - $1,000 and can be purchased online through Eventbrite.com. На бій вночі, the action starts at 7:00 вечора. The Ford Community & Performing Arts Center is located at 15801 Michigan Avenue in Dearborn, МОЇ. The event is sponsored by One Punch Knockout Gym, Topbreed Management, Pharaoh Website Hosting & Restaurant Online Ordering Service, MJ Diamonds, Family Tied Entertainment.

Atif Oberlton representing City of Brotherly Love all the way to the World Championships

Колорадо-Спрінгс, Коло. (Серпня 22, 2019) – There’s a new rising force on the international boxing scene and his name is Atif Oberlton, a light heavyweight from Philadelphia, who is on a mission to make a name for himself in boxing.

Oberlton will be competing at the Elite Men’s World Championships, Вересень 7-21, in Yekaterinburg, Росія.

Lacking confidence is not an issue for the 21-year-old boxer who claims, “It’s very important for me to do well and win at the Worlds, because I know for a fact that, in my heart, I’m the best fighter in the world. Also, I’m new on the international scene, so it’s time for me to give a piece of what they’ve been missing.”

Oberlton started boxing at the age of nine, although he didn’t start competing until he was 14, because he was the only boy in his family, and his father wanted him to learn how to defend himself. Like so many of his teammates, he fell in love with boxing.

In the last five years, Oberlton has captured gold medals at the 2018 і 2016 Національні Золоті рукавички турнір, 2018 Eastern Elite Qualifier and 2014 National Junior Olympics. He also was a victor in the USA vs. Netherlands Dual.

“My greatest accomplishment so far is making Team USA and being where I’m at, because for years and years I was denied, and here I am today in the top spot where I belong. I’m a top-spot fighter, so I deserve it, and I put down top-notch work, too”

Overlton has taken advantage of training in Colorado Springs at the U.S. Центр олімпійської підготовки, where he has shown improvement from day one, honing his skills to become a complete boxer.

“Conditioning plays a big part in my improvement; also seeing different styles, and getting top work has elevated me,” he spoke about training as a Team USA member. “I always break new barriers on the road to greatness and this (The Worlds) is another one I’m looking to smash through.”

In addition to representing his country, Oberlton is a proud Philly fighter continuing the long, rich boxing tradition in the City of Brotherly Love, which has produced the likes ofБернард ХопкінсMathew Saad MuhammadBennie BriscoeJoey GiardelloMike Rossman,James ShulerEugene Hart and so many more great fighters over the years.

“My city is known for its great boxing history and I wear ‘The City of Philadelphia’ on my back,” Oberlton added. “In a few more years down the line, I see myself leading the next wave of Philly boxers. In fact, I feel like I am the wave, прямо зараз, as we speak. Everyone’s watching me. I will do them all proud, from both the old and young generations.

“I haven’t been to Russia and I’m looking forward to going there. It’s always good to see the world. I always like to go back where I’m from and try to convince others to see the world, because it’s much bigger than our neighborhood.”

Oberlton is like a chameleon in the ring, constantly changing and adjusting to his opponent. “I consider my style like water,” he concluded. “It’s wavy because I adjust to win, and I can beat any style. I can outsmart anybody, fighting mind over matter. Boxing is 80-percent mental, 20-percent physical, and I have it all.

“My short-term goal is to win gold at The Worlds and everything else leading to the Olympics. And winning no less than gold at the Olympics. My long-term goal is to be the greatest fighter to ever walk the universe.”

Confidence is definitely not a problem for Atif Oberlton.

Богатова (8-0, М-1: 7-0), боротьби з Росії, є майстром, який буквально приспав трьох з останніх чотирьох жертв. Богатова, який має вищий наземний напад, захопив бажаний титул M-1 Challenge у вересні минулого року вM-1 Challenge 97, коли він виграв п’ятитурове рішенняРубенільтон Перейра.  У своєму першому захисті титулу минулого січня, Богатов використав дросель із трикутником, щоб подати чергового бразильського претендента, Мішель Сільва.

Лебу (19-9-2, М-1: 3-1) є небезпечним претендентом з Франції, який виграв три із чотирьох глобальних поєдинків на сьогоднішній день. Винищувач багатоборства, Лебу може налаштуватися на свого суперника, чи потрібно йому використовувати свою вражаючу, граппінг і тактичні навички для перемоги.

Лежнев, Україна, виграв вісім своїх останніх 10 бої, збив чемпіона M-1 Challenge у напівважкій вазіНейт Ландвер, хоч і в програшних зусиллях, в його останній дії. Абдібайт Уулу, гордість Киргизії, переміг трьох жорстких суперників поспіль, щоб підготувати його найбільший тест у Лежнєві.

Бразильська мухаФлавіо “Мадруга” Сільви Сантоса (9-3, М-1: 0-0) дебютує проти M-1 GlobalАрман Ашимов (10-3-1), Казахстану. Сантос - останній із хвилі бразильських винищувачів, які знайшли будинок у M-1 Global.

Національний чемпіон Бразилії та чорний пояс BJJ, Жан “Панкека” Петрік (10-3-1, М-1: 2-0) викидає сБорис “Бора” Полежай (18-6-1, М-1: 2-1-0), України. Переможець цього поєдинку, швидше за все, позиціонує себе за титульний удар.

Відкриття основної картки - це розбірки середньої вагиВажа Циптаурі, Національний чемпіон Грузії з ММА та кікбоксингу, і російський проспект Селем Євлоєв.

Американська напівважка вага“Чудовий” Джордж Гарсія (9-3, М-1: 1-0) взяв свій дебютний бій M-1 Global за короткий термін, проте він використовував свою тямучу хватку, щоб перемогтиYuriy Chobuka, шляхом заднього оголеного дроселя, лише 20 секунд до першого раунду їхнього бою в березні минулого рокуM-1 Challenge 101.  Каліфорнійський грейфер, який їде в серії перемог із шести боїв, повернення на андеркарті проти горезвісного фінішераБудинок Баїра, Росії.
