Toro Promotions, INC. Flexing its Heavyweight Muscles Around the Boxing World

لس آنجلس (آوریل 3, 2025) – Toro Promotions, INC. has built a powerhouse stable of heavyweights that is making noise all around the boxing world.  

“When I see the same old, tired heavyweight names being run up the flagpole, over and over again, I just laugh,” United States matchmaker Whit Haydon said. “This group of heavyweights not only fits in on the world scene and is more capable of filling obvious void in talent, but will also inject badly needed life into what is for the most part stale.”

Last week in Saudi Arabia, the one-two punch of Tostne “Mr. T” Rogava (11-0, 8 کوس) and Dante Stone (18-1, 12 کوس) both registered knockouts in the preliminary round of the inaugural Rydah Season/WBC Boxing Grand Prix.

Tostne, a Ukraine Olympian born in Georgia, used a devastating body attack to stop his Australian opponent, Lewis Clarke (6-2, 3 کوس), with a body shot at the 2:32 علامت دور باز, while Stone (18-1, 12), fighting out of Chandler, آریزونا, روند پیروزی خود را به 18 with a second-round knockout of Indalesio Teran (3-1-1, 1 ضربه فنی), مکزیک.

Tostne and Stone advanced to the round of 16 در ماه ژوئن.

The single-elimination tournament is being streamed live exclusively onwww.dazn.com/wbcIt started with a total of 128 fighters in four weight classes – ورزشکار پروزن, فوق العاده سبک وزن, میان وزن, و سنگین وزن.

All fighters are subjected to random drug testing in compliance with the WBC’s Clean Boxing Program, as well as Riyadh Season’s commitment to VADA testing.

The opening round of 32 matches had scheduled six-round bouts, which will increase to eight for the final rounds in each division, and participating fighters represent more than 40 countries from around the world/ In addition to the $200,000 winner’s purse, the four divisional winners will receive the Jose Sulaimán Trophy, named after the late WBC President Jose Sulaimán, who first envisioned a prospect-based Boxing Grand Prix more than a decade ago.

There is open scoring after the second and fourth rounds, a buzzer sounds 30 seconds prior to the end of each round, instant replay may be implemented, and no draws are guaranteed.

در ضمن, the much-avoided Nigeria-born Kingsley “The Black Lion” Ibeh (15-2-1, 13 کوس), مبارزه از ققنوس, is riding a 10-fight win streak. The 6’ 4″, 285-pound former college (Washington University (توپکا, KS) and professional football player (Canadian Football League) is preparing to fight again in June.

الکساندر "بزرگ" فلورس (19-5-1, 17 کوس), of Rowland Heights, کالیفرنیا, has lost only to three world champions — جوزف پارکر, چارلز مارتین, and Luis Ortiz – in addition to Rogava and Stone. Flores returned earlier this month to the one-round Team Combat League as a member of the Nashville Smash, unloading a sensational left hook on the chin that put Alex Ajabor to sleep at the 1:18 علامت.

Although another undefeated heavyweight, Gurgen “Big Gug” Hovhannisyan (8-0, 7 کوس), isn’t promoted by Toro, he is managed by Vartan Torosyan, who also manages Rogava, and his brother is Toro’s promoter, Azat Torosyan. The 6’ 7”, 300-pound Armenian boxer knocked out Dajuan Calloway (11-3) in the fifth round this past weekend. Hall of Famer Joe Goossen trains Hovhannisyan and Rogava.

It’s tough being a free agent. Toro believes in me like I do, others didn’t. Signing with Toro is a good choice for me.”

“I was raised by a single parent, and she did her best, but we had a lot of ups and downs,” Brooks explained. “It made me tougher; moving from school to school, I had my fair share of fights. I lived out of my car and in foster homes, but I wouldn’t change anything. نگاهی به گذشته, it made me who I am. and the love of this sport pulled me through because I felt it could help me be somebody. I’ve had a lot of good experiences and met a lot of good people.”

بروکس, 28, defends his super featherweight title on June 15headlining “EQC Fight Night,” presented by Toro Promotions, INC. in association with Whitfield Boxing, at the famed Emerald Queen Casino (EQC) در تاکوما, واشنگتن.

Brooks captured his World Boxing Association (WBA) Continental USA belt in his last fight when he knocked out previously unbeaten Cuban boxer Jose Manuel Izaguirre (7-0. 3 کوس) in the seventh round this past February 10هفتم in Long Beach, کالیفرنیا. بروکس, یک southpaw, has fought only once at EQC, which ended in a six-round technical knockout of Anthony Chavez (11-3-1) در آگوست 26, 2023.
