I think the two of us will make some noise and do big things together. I have had an unfortunate couple of years as anyone who has followed my career understands but I’m a true believer in things happening for a reason and everything seems to be falling into place. I’m motivated and rejuvenated. I can’t wait to fight in Toronto!"
Baxter, a longtime fixture in the Canadian boxing scene who recently created the “Next Generation” fight series, is thrilled to be working with a longtime friend who he believes has a bright future ahead of him.

There’s been a public demand for him to fight in Canada again since 18 of his professional matches have been here and we’re proud to be making this happen. I’m looking at having him potentially fight twice in 2016 and the people in Ontario are as excited to see him fight as he is to fight in front of them. The sky is definitely the limit with Logan!"
Details on Logan’s return to the ring will be announced shortly.

Tidligere team GB stjerners Iain 'The Blessed One "Weaver er satt for sin første britiske bout, siden tilbake fra Amerika, dette kommer lørdag på York Hall i Bethnal Green, hvor han vil møte latviske dinarer Skripkins.
Weaver, som sist kjempet på York Hall tilbake i oktober 2013, har vært å etablere seg som en av de beste utsiktene i ultra konkurranse super fjærvekt divisjon internasjonalt.
Siden hans siste besøk til hjemmet til boksing i hovedstaden, Weaver har sikret to gode første klasse stopp vinner over Spania basert marokkanske Hassan Elyatouti og brasiliansk Edilson Rio.
I sin siste kamp, mot Newark, New Jersey daværende ubeseiret prospekt Wanzell Ellison, Weaver ble utsatt for litt god gammeldags husmannskost av scorekort, å utslette hans ellers uberørte rekord.
Nå tilbake på britisk jord igjen Weaver, gjort det klart at han er fast bestemt på å få et par flere gode seire under beltet, før du prøver å få en omkamp mot Ellison på nøytral grunn en gang neste år.
"Å si at vi var skuffet sist ut er en underdrivelse, Jeg vant den kampen komfortabelt, men bare én dommer scoret det på min måte.
Vi vil kjempe denne lørdagen og deretter har minst én mer kamp her, da vil vi gjøre alt vi kan for å sikre en omkamp, denne gangen heller her i Storbritannia eller kanskje et sted nøytral som Tyskland.
Tilbake til nå skjønt, Jeg ser virkelig frem til å være tilbake York Hall, Jeg har så gode minner om bekjempelse av det.
Det er alltid en god atmosfære der, det virkelig er et spesielt sted.
Vi vet ikke så mye om dinarer (Skripka), men har hørt at han er en veldig tøff gutt.
Tidligere i år slo han tyske prospektet Tunahan Keser og fra hva vi har hørt det var en flott kamp og en fantastisk forestilling av dinarer.
Så vi ikke undervurderer ham en tøddel, men vet også at han er beatable, og det er vår plan, slå ham og gjør det med stil. "

“Går åtte runder for første gang var en flott erfaring for meg.” Said Mario Barrios, som forvaltes av Al Haymon. “I was able to pace myself throughout the entire fight and never got tired. I could have gone four more rounds if this was a twelve round fight. Esquivel is a very tough fighter and I’m glad we both came out healthy. I’ll be ready to get back in the ring as soon as Haymon has another date for me. I’m very thankful for all the opportunities Haymon Boxing has given me.”
