QUINCY, Mass. (Mars 26, 2024) – Granitt Chin Kampanjer (GCP) har annonsert lanseringen av sin innovative en-nattsturnering, “Granitt Chin Box Off," på lørdags kveld, Mai 11, med en kvartett av supermellomvekts jagerfly fra New England med hovedtittelen “Rumble at the Rink" proffboksekort, på Quincy Youth Arena i Quincy, Massachusetts.

Kvartetten av supermellomvektere vil kjempe i kamper i tre runder (4th runde av sudden death om nødvendig i tilfelle uavgjort) tidlig på kvelden og de to vinnerne går videre til hovedarrangementet med fem runder (6th runde av sudden death i tilfelle uavgjort) for å bestemme mesteren av hva promoter Chris Traietti planlegger å være en årlig turnering, som har blitt sanksjonert av Massachusetts Boxing Commission.

Alle fire jagerfly er aggressive og modige som kommer for å kjempe, som oversetter til en minneverdig kveld for fansen.

"Denne turneringen har vært en idé jeg har flørtet med siden 2021," sa GCP-president Chris Traietti. "Jeg ville ikke trykke på avtrekkeren før jeg følte at jeg hadde løst noen av de første bekymringene og jeg hadde de riktige fire gutta. Det hele har kommet sammen nå! Det er ingen kombinasjon av kamper med disse fire som ikke vil være actionfylte rett fra åpningen. Dette er noe Granite Chin planlegger å gjøre årlig, så når denne første turneringen er fullført, vi vil vurdere det for å se om det er behov for forbedringer for å gjøre en klar til 2025. Takk til jagerflyene for deres lidenskap for å være en del av noe spesielt som dette og Massachusetts-kommisjonen for all deres hjelp til å navigere meg til å få alle sikkerhetsproblemene adressert og håndtert slik at det kunne bli sanksjonert.»

Her er en oversikt over de fire "Granite Chin Box Off"-utfordrerne:

James «Pitbull» Perkins (13-1-1, 9 KOs), Lynn, MA

Perkins er favoritten før turneringen basert på hans proffrekord og motstandskvalitet. En graver om dagen, Perkins led sitt ensomme tap mot Steve Sumpter i august i fjor (9-0, 7 KOs), tapte en åtte runders flertallsavgjørelse for det ledige IBA America Super Middleweight Championship.

"Jeg gleder meg veldig til dette arrangementet. Jeg har alltid ønsket å kjempe i en turnering fordi jeg aldri kjempet i Golden Gloves eller noen amatørturneringer. Jeg bestemte meg for å bli proff etter min sjette amatørkamp. Det er enda bedre at arrangementet holdes på en hockeybane fordi jeg vokste opp hele livet med hockey. Jeg begynte å gå på skøyter da jeg var to år gammel og spilte hele veien gjennom videregående (St. Mary's av Lynn).

"Jeg er forberedt på å takle det som kommer til meg. Jeg vet hvem alle fighterne er, men jeg kjenner Clark mye mer enn de andre jagerne. Jeg og Clark har kjempet på samme kort flere ganger. Jeg liker Clark og han er en tøffing, men hvis vi havner i ringen sammen, det vil være all business. Vi vil ikke være venner når vi er der inne. På slutten av natten, Jeg er veldig sikker på at jeg kommer til å bli vinneren av turneringen.»

Anthony "The Gentle Savage" Andreozzi (5-3, 2 KOs), Swansea, MA

En tidligere mellomvektmester i Massachusetts, Andreozzi har kommet seg etter en brutal bein-/ankelskade påført for mer enn ett år siden, returnerte i februar 24th innen en andre runde knockout av Igor Pessoa.

"Det er (turnering) bryter garantert grenser. Det er den typen turneringer hvor følelsesmessig kontroll vil være viktig. Du kan ikke blåse lasset i den første runden av den første kampen og fortsatt forvente å lykkes. Jeg har noen hundre brytekamper og over et dusin karatekamper. Jeg er vant til den følelsesmessige kontrollen som er nødvendig for å effektivt utøve vold to ganger på en natt. Jeg kan ikke vente!

"Ryan Clark er en flott fyr. Vi har gått runder før kampen min med Kyle Cusick (April 22, 2022). Perkins gikk seks harde runder med en tidligere lagkamerat av meg. Bernard virker som en god fyr, så ingenting personlig mot ham.»

Bernard Joseph (6-1, 4 KOs), Dorchester, MA

Joseph har vunnet sine to siste kamper og har vært aktiv med fire kamper inne 2023 og dette vil være hans andre i 2024. 33-åringen vil også ha en fordel i hjembyen når han kjemper i nærliggende Quincy.

"Det er forskjellig (turneringsformat), men det kommer an på måten vi trener på. Jeg sparrer mye og det vil være bra for meg. Det handler om å trene og venne kroppen til pausen som i sparring. Jeg kan kjempe fire runder og deretter seks.

"Jeg er en proff nå, kjemper mot seks rundere, men ikke med en lang pause mellom kampene som i denne turneringen. Det vil gi meg tid til å rehydrere og gjøre meg klar for nattens andre kamp. Jeg har sett video av alle de andre jagerflyene, og jeg snakker ikke stygt om noen, men jeg kan ikke føle at jeg er favoritten til å vinne alt.»

Ryan Clark (4-5, 2 KOs), Barrington, ME

En naturlig mellomvekt, Clark rykker opp mest vekt i turneringen, noe han er godt klar over, men ikke overdrevent bekymret. Nok en actionfylt fighter, Clarks rekord er misvisende fordi han er så tøff som de kommer og i stand til å beseire alle de tre andre utfordrerne.

"Det er (turnering) er en god idé. Chris (Traietti) er en smart fyr, og denne turneringen vil gi underholdning for fansen, og det vil være en utfordring for fighterne. Jeg applauderer ideen hans. Jeg kjemper vanligvis kl 160 og denne turneringen får meg til å kjempe i en litt større vektklasse. Jeg liker utfordringen.

«Jeg kjenner Tony og Perkins, og jeg respekterer dem. De er dyktige. Dette (turnering) ligner på sparring. Jeg sparrer fem eller seks runder, henge å snakke, få en annen trening, og deretter komme tilbake i ringen for å sparre igjen. Dette er ikke så annerledes."

Flere kamper vil snart bli annonsert.

Kort kan endres.

Mexican Quartet announced for World Cup Boxing Series “4-Man Lightweight Tournament” February 24th in Mexico

thumbnail_IMG_3224.jpg
LAS VEGAS (Januar 12, 2022) World Cup Boxing Series (WCBS) has finalized plans for its inaugural “4-Man Lightweight Tournament,” presented by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions, with the semifinals on February 24th at Palenque De La Expo in Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico.

At its 59th annual World Boxing Council (WBC) Convention in Mexico City this past November, the WBC committee approved to sanction the WCBS’ “4-Man lightweight Tournament,” created by CEO Terry Hollan and matchmaker Guy Taylor.

“We are extremely grateful for the WBC to sanction our upcoming ‘4-Man Lightweight Tournament,’” Taylor said. “The semifinals will be held February 24th, the championship final June 2nd. The World Boxing Council will crown the winner of the ‘4-Man Tournament’ as its new WBC Latino Lightweight Champion.”


“The WBC hopes to be able to sanction more World Cup Boxing Series tournaments and create great regional champions to enter our world rankings and achieve their goals with the WBC,” WBC Latino President Alberto Guerra commented.


The WCBS “4-Man Tournament” semifinals matchups have been announced: Luis “Koreano” Torres (14-0, 9 KOs) vs. Rodolfo “Rudy” Flores (14-5, 6 KOs), Alberto “El Alacan” Ruiz (11-4, 8 KOs) vs. Isai “Gaga” Hernandez (11-2-2, 7 KOs).


Semifinal’s action will be contested in 8-round bouts, 10 rounds for the championship final. The WCBS will also feature one “overtime” round, hvis nødvendig, to declare a winner in the event of a draw upon the conclusion of the scheduled distance.


WCBS will also be offering a “Fight of the Night” and “Knockout” bonuses to each contestant through the duration of its “4-Man Lightweight Tournament.”


The 20-year-old Torres is the favorite going into the tournament. The southpaw is a former WBC Youth Silver lightweight champion who has cruised through his first 14 opponents since making his pro debut in 2017. His last fight was an impressive 10-round decision over Guillermo Avila Godinez (19-11) this past December in Ciudad Obregon.


Blomster, 26, has won two of his last three fights. His most notable wins have been by decision versus Jesus Acosta Zazueta (16-5-2) and Jairo Lopez (18-5).
I august i fjor, Ruiz upset 15-0 WBC Latino Lightweight Champion Jair Valtierra by way of a fifth-round knockout to capture the crown.
Hernandez has won five of his last six matches, excluding a “no-contest” in his last fight against 13-0-1 Francisco Lopez, in which Hernandez was holding his own until the fight was stopped due to an accidental headbutt.


“To have undefeated Luis Torres, Mexico’s top-rated lightweight prospect, and the last one to be WBC Latino champion, Alberto Ruiz, in this tournament should show everyone the quality fighters we are providing,” Taylor concluded. “Any man can be defeated on any given night and that’s the beauty of a tournament model.”

After jumping up in weight class to compete in the biggest tournament in the promotion’s history, the former University of Oregon wrestler doesn’t seem to have lost a step. Sonnen will look to join the select few who have ever been able to dethrone Emelianenko when he enters the cage on Oct. 13 at NYCB LIVE.

He was the Greatest of all time, and the winner of this tournament has the right to call himself the greatest cruiserweight of our time.
Lørdag will mark the first anniversary of Muhammad Ali´s death. Roberto Dalmiglio, Comosa´s Head of Management Board, paid tribute to the GREATEST of all time. “Nobody will ever forget what Ali has achieved,” han sa. “He was the GREATEST of all time because he defeated the best opponents out there. The World Boxing Super Series is all about the best fighting the best, and that is why we named the trophy after him.
With three high-profile signings confirmed and many more to come, the stage is set for an exciting tournament. “The quest for the Muhammad Ali Trophy has officially begun and we are thrilled to welcome two unbeaten world champions and a top-ranked challenger, who is a former champion, to the World Boxing Super Series,” Dalmiglio said. “They have accepted the ultimate challenge to determine the best cruiserweight in the world.
Season 1 of the World Boxing Super Series will feature the cruiserweights and super-middleweight divisions. In each weight class, eight top fighters will battle out a bracket-style elimination tournament. There will be four quarter-finals (September / Oktober 2017), two semi-finals (early 2018) and one final (Mai 2018), which makes for a total of 14 high-class fights. “We have received a massive amount of applications for both divisions,” said Kalle Sauerland, Comosa`s Chief Boxing Officer. “The best fighters are lining up to be in the tournament. Just like the fans, they love the format and the fact that there will only be one man standing at the end.
Richard Schaefer, Comosa`s Chairman of the Americas, lagt: “We promised you the biggest names and champions in the divisions and here we are delivering. More names will follow shortly. We simply can’t wait to get the action started!”
The quarter-final pairings will be determined during the Draft Gala in Monaco in early July. In each weight class, the four top-seeded boxers (which will be determined by the Comosa Board) will select their quarter-final opponents from the four unseeded boxers. Once the pairings are set, the exact fight dates and venues will be announced. Details about the participants in the super-middleweight division will be revealed shortly.
