MONTREAL (ફેબ્રુઆરી 15, 2022) – Today’s scheduled World Boxing Council (WBC) purse bid has been avoided as Groupe Yvon Michel (જિમ) announces an agreement has been reached with Titov Promotions, which promotes undefeated mandatory challenger Evgeny Romanov (16-0, 11 કોસ), રશિયાના, for WBC Bridgerweight World Champion Oscar “Kaboom” Rivas’ first title defense.

Under this agreement, GYM obtained the rights to promote Rivasfirst WBC defense. “We are very happy with this outcome,” GYM President Yvon Michel said. “I would like to thank Mr. Alex Titov for his co-operation. We intend to hold this world championship in June, in Montreal or possibly in Colombia, where discussions are currently taking place. It was important for us that Oscar defends his crown in a familiar environment.”

Trained by Marc Ramsey, Rivas captured the WBC World title last October 22,winning a unanimous decision over Ryan Rozicki (13-1, 13 કોસ) at the Olympia in Montreal.

Colombia-native Rivas, who represented his country at the 2008 ઓલિમ્પિક્સ, became the first WBC World Champion in the history of the Bridgerweight Division.

With current Undisputed Super Middleweight Champion Canelo Alvarez now confirmed to be facing WBC Cruiserweight Champion Ilunga Makabu in his next bout, સેમ્પ્સન Lewkowicz, promoter of undefeated two-time super middleweight world champion David “El Bandera Roja” Benavidez, has received permission from the WBC Board for Benavidez to fight for their Interim Championship in his next bout.


Today at their 59th annual world convention in Mexico City, Alvarez’s trainer Eddy Reynoso petitioned the WBC to allow the future hall-of-famer to challenge Makabu for a chance at another world title in an amazing fifth weight division. Reynoso’s request was granted unanimously.


જવાબમાં, Lewkowicz immediately requested that Benavidez (25-0, 22 કોસ), whom many considered at the top of the list of potential next Canelo opponents, be given a chance to hold their world championship for the third time in his undefeated career. The request was also granted.


An opponent for Benavidez’s attempt at a third WBC belt will be announced shortly.

NEW OPPONENT FOR INAUGURAL WBC BRIDGERWEIGHT WORLD TITLE FIGHT “THE CONQUEST: OSCAR RIVAS VS. RYAN ROZICKI

new letterhead.jpg
NEW OPPONENT FOR
INAUGURAL WBC BRIDGERWEIGHT WORLD TITLE FIGHT

“THE CONQUEST: OSCAR RIVAS VS. RYAN ROZICKI”

AT THE MONTREAL OLYMPIA ON OCTOBER 22ND

MONTREAL (ઓક્ટોબર 6, 2021)The inaugural World Boxing Council (WBC) Bridgerweight World Championship fight (હેઠળ 224 કિ.) will take place on October 22nd, promoted by Groupe Yvon Groupe (જિમ) in collaboration with Three Lions Promotions, and a presentation of Mise-O-Jeu, at the Montreal Olympia.

As recently announced by the WBC, કરી નથી. 1 contender Oscar “Kaboom” Rivas (27-1, 19 કોસ) will face Ryan “The Bruiser” Rozicki (13-0, 13 કોસ) to headline “The Conquest” in the 12-round main event for the vacant WBC title.

Rozicki is a powerful, undefeated puncher who has won each of his thirteen professional fights by knockout. His record includes his win over Shawn Miller (18-4-1, 7 KO) મે 2019 for the WBC International Silver crown, as well as the defense of the same title in February 2020 against Vladimir Reznicek (9-2-2, 4 કોસ).

By his uncompromising style, “Bruiserbecame very popular especially in English-speaking Canada. “Rivas will be my toughest opponent yet,” Rozicki explained. “It’s everything I’ve dreamed of since I started boxing. Thanks to Yvon Michel and my promotional team for making this possible. On October 22nd, I will become world champion.”

In front of him stands an opponent who has been waiting for his chance for a long time, top contender Rivas, who easily disposed of Sylvera Louis (8-5, 4 કોસ) by retirement after three rounds last March. Rivas, અલબત્ત, was the victim of a very controversial defeat in July 2019 in England to Dillian Whyte (25-1), by way of a 12-round decision despite having sent him to the mat in the ninth round.

Oscar Rivas is in the best shape of his career,” according to his trainer, Marc Ramsay. “I know Rozicki very well and he is very dangerous. He reminds me of a big Joe Smith, જુનિયર, who without being the best technician, compensates with enthusiasm, aggressiveness and determination in the ring

This fight turns out to be more than a major one for the careers of the two pugilists. The winner will be crowned king of this new division. The historic showdown marks the return of American television to Canada for the first time since December 2018 as it will be broadcast live on ESPN + અમેરિકામાં. કુલ મળીને, this prestigious gala will also be broadcast live in nearly fifty countries. In Quebec, the event will be available on pay-per-view television on Canal Indigo, બેલ ટીવી, Shaw TV and Fite.tv.

સહ દર્શાવવામાં ઘટનામાં, charismatic Sébastien Bouchard (19-2-0, 8 કોસ) will be in his second fight of 2021, after suffering a major injury against Ayaz Hussain in 2019. He will face Mexican welterweight SergioChecoOrtega (24-2-0, 18 કોસ), of Baja California, મેક્સિકો, in an explosive 8-round duel.

With his third knockout victory this past August 28મી in as many career fights, Alexis Barrière (3-0, 3 કોસ) will return to the Olympia ring. This time around, the heavyweight will face Rafael “Rafaga” Sanchez Rojas (5-1, 3 કોસ), મેક્સિકોના, in a 4-round clash.

As expected, the 6-round rematch between Alexandre Roberge (1-1-0) and Francis Charbonneau (3-1-0, 1 KO.) remains on this card. The two cruiserweights caused quite a stir on March 16th in their 6-round confrontation, which Charbonneau won by way of split decision.

Canadian light heavyweight prospect Terry Osias (9-0, 4 કોસ) was supposed to have a fabulous 2020 with a series of fights planned at the Casino de Montreal. The pandemic decided otherwise, છતાં. Osias finally finds his way into the ring again on Oct. 22nd against his Mexican opponent, Joaquin Murrieta (9-9-3, 7 કોસ), who has won his last two fights by knockout.

Middleweight Kevin Menoche (4-0, 4 કોસ) will put his undefeated pro record on the line versus Thad Ridsdill (2-2, 1 KO).

તેથી, a colorful evening awaits boxing fans Oct. 22nd at the Olympia in Montreal. હકીકતમાં, GYM will be promoting its 49th world championship fight in Canada since its founding in 2004.

Oscar “Kaboom” Rivas on special mission to become heavyweight & bridgerweight World ChampionImportant announcement

ક્વિબેક શહેર, ઑન્ટેરિઓમાં, કેનેડામાં (માર્ચ 24, 2021) – Fresh off his recent third-round stoppage of Sylvera “Sly” Louis તેમના રિમેચમાં, વર્લ્ડ બોક્સિંગ કાઉન્સિલ (WBC) કરી નથી. 1 rated bridgerweight ઓસ્કાર "Kaboom" Rivas (27-1, 19 કોસ) is on a special mission to not only become the first bridgerweight world champion but capture the world heavyweight crown as well.

એ 2008 કોલંબિયાના ઓલિમ્પિયન, Rivas is currently rated as the WBC’s No. 1-rated contender in the bridgerweight division (-224 કિ.), અને કોઈ. 9 in The Ring magazine’s heavyweight rankings.

Prior to his rematch with Louis, Rivas hadn’t fought in 20 months due mainly to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Never-the-less, “Kaboom” remained professional, training throughout his ring absence, and now he’s positioned to fight for the inaugural WBC bridgerweight title.

“I love this sport,” Rivas said from his Montreal home. I dedicate my life to boxing. I never stopped training because I love it and I can’t live without it. હું રમતવીર છું! The pandemic didn’t make things easy for me or anybody else, especially for a natural heavyweight like me.

“In the ring, I am having fun, and that’s what drives me. After I was able to knockdown my opponent (લૂઈસ) પ્રથમ રાઉન્ડમાં, my coach asked me to take advantage of the opportunity to box because I hadn’t fought in 20 મહિના. I hadn’t stepped in the ring and that’s what I enjoy every minute of.”

Even though he’s on the precipice of winning his first world title, as a bridgerweight fighter, Rivas will not be fully satisfied without becoming a 2-division world champion.

“I want to be the bridgerweight and heavyweight World champion without a doubt,” he explained. “My mission is timeless. For some reason, the big boys in the heavyweight division don’t want to fight me. There would have been good reasons for ડિલિયન વ્હુટે to give me a rematch, to clear any doubts! I love ટાયસન ફ્યુરી but when he was looking for a dance partner last December, my name was dropped first even though we had the same promoter. I can only assume that they consider I am too dangerous for them. By becoming the WBC bridgerweight World champion, I assume that those big boys will be more intrigued to fight me, અને હું રાહ નથી કરી શકો છો. હવે, more than ever.

“I am a heavyweight and I always tried to stay under 235 pounds throughout my career to exploit my speed, so the bridgerweight class became a natural fit for me. હવે, I am aiming to become champion of the world in two divisions. Bring them all on!"

Rivas’ most likely will know who his opponent will be for the WBC bridgerweight title fight in June in the coming days. The names often mentioned are No. 3 રેટેડ બ્રાયન્ટ જેનિંગ્સ(24-4, 14 કોસ), 2-time world heavyweight title challenger, or built-up South African cruiserweight, કરી નથી. 2 ક્રમે Kevin Larena (26-1, 13 કોસ).

“My team has been working very hard during this unbelievable time (pandemic) to organize a significant fight for me.” Rivas noted. “I just can’t wait to step back into the ring with anybody.”

Rivas still has unfinished business with Whyte, who is the only pro to defeat Rivas, albeit under questionable circumstances. છેલ્લા ઓગસ્ટ, Whyte won a 12-round unanimous decision, after been knockdown with an uppercut in the 9મી રાઉન્ડ, in their vacant WBC Interim heavyweight title fight, but prior to their fight, unbeknownst to Team Rivas, Whyte had apparently tested positive for a banned substance during training camp. A UK Anti-Doping investigation somehow later cleared Whyte of any wrongdoings.

છેલ્લા ઓગસ્ટ, Whyte was knocked out in the fifth round by એલેક્ઝાન્ડર Povetkin in their WBC Interim title fight and Povetkin will defend his title this weekend in Gibraltar versus Whyte.

Oscar Rivas can’t wait to let his fists go “Kaboom” on his next opponent, whomever and whenever that is, as he continues his special mission.

UNCASVILLE, કનેક્ટિકટ. - કુચ 13, 2021 - ભૂતપૂર્વ બે વખત વિશ્વ ચેમ્પિયન ડેવિડ Benavidez kept his perfect ring record intact with an 11મી-round technical knockout victory against veteran રોનાલ્ડ એલિસ in their WBC Super Middleweight Title Eliminator main event on Saturday night’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast, live on SHOWTIME from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, કનેક્ટિકટ., in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Phoenix’s Benavidez (24-0, 21 કોસ) flashed brilliant hand speed, accuracy and power as he dominated Ellis (18-2-2, 12 કોસ) લીન ના, માસ., ઉપર 11 rounds before referee Johnny Callas finally waved off the fight at 2:03 of the penultimate round. The 24-year-old star held a significant lead on all three scorecards (99-91, 98-92 x2) at the time of the stoppage.

“I rate my performance pretty good but I know I could have done better,” said Benavidez, who extended his perfect record to 24-0. “Ronald Ellis is a tough competitor. I just hope the fans like what they saw. I threw a lot of combinations, punches in bunches. There were a lot of times I thought Ellis was going to quit but he didn’t. Hats off to him, તેઓ એક અઘરું વ્યક્તિ છે. It was a little later than I wanted but a stoppage is still a stoppage. I hope the fans got a good show tonight.”

A boxing prodigy turned youngest super middleweight world champion in boxing history, Benavidez turned in a masterful performance as evidenced by his punch stats, ઉતરાણ 289 ના 532 power punches thrown for an eye-popping connection rate of 54%. Benavidez connected on 50 punches in the 11મી round which ultimately led to the stoppage. Both fighters combined to throw 1,403 પંચની. Following his dominating win on SHOWTIME, Benavidez is one step closer to reclaiming a super middleweight world title.

“I want all the big guys,” Benavidez added. “Speaking for the fans too, they would love to see me against all the big guys because as you can see, I love throwing punches. I love stopping people so me versus any big name would be an amazing fight. હું માંગો છો [Jermall] Charlo, Canelo આલ્વારેઝ, કાલેબ પ્લાન્ટ, all of them.”

એલિસ, 31, showed tremendous determination and a very sturdy chin as he absorbed the constant onslaught from the former two-time world champion. Often working off the ropes as Benavidez pressed the action, Ellis landed 89 તેમના 334 જેબ્સની.

“I could have popped the jab and controlled things a little bit more and not let him smother me,” said Ellis. “Hell yeah I wanted to finish. I didn’t want to give him that satisfaction. I could have moved a little bit more and not taken so many shots to the head. Hats off to him. He did what he had to do. તેમણે મને ક્યારેય નુકસાન, that’s the funny thing. I took a lot of shots but he didn’t damage me or have me super hurt. I never thought about quitting.”

The sports world lost an icon today as the death of Marvelous Marvin Hagler was reported hours before the live telecast began. A member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, Hagler, જે હતી 66 જૂના વર્ષ, fought in the first main event ever on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on March 10, 1986. Hagler was honored with a ceremonial 10-count prior to tonight’s main event. Click Here to Watch SHOWTIME’s Tribute to Marvin Hagler

Benavidez reflected on Hagler’s passing after the fight: “I had met Marvin once before and he was a great champion. Someone told me he fought the first fight on SHOWTIME. Someone on my team let me know a few hours before the fight that he had passed. It’s sad and he will be missed. He was a true legend.”

સહ મુખ્ય ઘટના માં, Isaac Cruz (21-1-1, 15 કોસ) of Mexico City earned a unanimous decision victory over Argentina’s Matias Romero (24-1, 8 કોસ) in a 12-round WBA Lightweight Title Eliminator. It marked the first time that the 22-year-old Cruz went 12 rounds in his professional career. The judges’ scorecards read 114-113, 115-112 અને 118-109. SHOWTIME’s unofficial scorer Steve Farhood scored the fight 115-112, giving rounds 10 દ્વારા 12 to the rising star.

“I’m not happy about the style of the fight but I am satisfied I took the victory home and we’ve come to the No. 1 spot in the WBA,"ક્રૂઝ જણાવ્યું. “I didn’t know what was going to happen [as far as the judges]. We forced the fight at all times and it would have been very impossible for the judges to do something to me when I was the one pushing the fight.”

Throughout the 36-minute affair, Cruz constantly applied pressure against his opponent which led to Romero, the more seasoned professional, to hold excessively in an attempt to stall the pressure. Despite being warned frequently by referee Harvey Dock, the 24-year-old Romero was never penalized. During the rough-and-tumble contest, જો કે, Cruz was docked a point in the sixth round for a low blow.

“He was a fighter who didn’t want to exchange punches,” Cruz added, in reference to the persistent clinching. “I was very fed up with the clinches—there was never a warning toward him. I did my best out there. Not the best way I wanted to do it but thank God we won the fight and we’re taking the victory home.”

Romero presented an effective jab throughout the fight, ઉતરાણ 89 ના 282, but it was Cruz’s power punching that ultimately earned him the victory. ક્રોસ, who is now the No. 1 contender for a world title shot at 135 પાઉન્ડ, ઉતરાણ 145 ના 459 શક્તિ પંચની, સહિત 91 શરીર શોટ.

“Obviously I’m not happy with the decision,” stated Romero following his first professional loss. “I thought maybe it was a draw. Overall I’m happy with my performance. He’s supposed to the be the ‘Pit Bull’ and I went the distance. You have to take the opportunities when they are presented and I wish I would have had more time to get ready for this fight.”

In the evening’s opening bout, Cleveland’s Terrell Gausha (22-2-1, 11 કોસ) scored an impressive second-round technical knockout over fellow Ohioan Jamontay ક્લાર્ક (15-2-1, 7 કોસ) સિનસિનાટી. Gausha, 33, did not land a single power punch in the opening round but worked well behind the jab, winning the round on two of the judges’ scorecards. As the second round neared completion, Gausha beautifully countered a lunging left hand from the southpaw Clark which sent the 26-year-old to the canvas for the first time in his professional career. Clark beat the count but moments later was met by a barrage of unanswered punches in the neutral corner. Referee Arthur Mercante jumped in and called a halt to the bout at 2:44 બીજા રાઉન્ડમાં ના.

“I knew Jamontay was a tough kid, I’ve been watching him since Cleveland so I knew about him already,” said Gausha. “I felt like I had a chance to knock him out but I didn’t know how the fight would play out. But I feel I did good, executed the game plan. My coaches had been studying film and we executed.

“I just took my time,” added Gausha. “I was setting traps. I knew he would be open eventually, but I had to be cautious too because he’s a rangy guy, has a good left hand. But I knew there were holes in his game and we executed and when the opportunity presented itself, we landed that big right hand.”

With his emphatic stoppage win, આ 2012 Olympian emerges as a contender for a title shot in the super welterweight division. In his first and only world title shot in 2017, Gausha dropped a unanimous decision to current super welterweight world champion Erislandy Lara.

“I know I made a statement tonight,” added Gausha. “I put the division on notice. I’m locked and loaded and I’m ready. I want to be a world champion so I’m looking to fight whoever I need to fight to get to the belts.”

શનિવારની શોટાઇમ ચેમ્પિયનશિપ બોક્સિંગ telecast will replay Sunday at 8:55 a.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME and Monday at 10 વાગ્યાની. ET on SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Unhappy birthday coming up for undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz

WORCESTER, માસ. (એપ્રિલ 15, 2020) – Even in his wildest dreams, undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World lightweight championJamaine “The Technician” Ortiz (13-0, 7 કોસ) never could have ever imagined that his 24મી જન્મદિવસ, later this month, would fall smack in the middle of a worldwide health pandemic

When he turns 24 એપ્રિલ પર 28મી, Ortiz figured he’d be preparing for training camp with a spring fight date set, likely defending his WBC Youth World title of fighting for a regional belt of some sort.

He certainly didn’t think boxing would be banned around the world, gyms closed by a state mandate, and people wearing facemasks and plastic gloves like they’re in a Sci-Fi movie. અને, to boot, his job as a licensed carpenter ended closed shop last Friday. Like everybody else in the Bay State.

Ortiz is basically self-quarantined at home, although he’s still running, તાલીમ, eating well and doing everything else to maintain decent shape. Not elite boxing shape, છતાં, which simply isn’t possible under these restrictive and trying times.

Instead of sparring, he’s shadow boxing, jumping rope has replaced pad-work with his trainersRocky Gonzalez અનેકાર્લોસ ગાર્સીયા, and now his living room serves as hisજિમ.

Times have been dramatically altered, ખરેખર, even celebrating birthdays, which Jamaine fully understands and accepts.

“I don’t think my birthday will be any different,” Ortiz said. “I usually spend it alone with my mother and daughter (4-year-old Amira) and this year probably won’t be any different. I won’t be able to get in a whole bunch of sparring rounds that I usually ask for (હસતી) as presents from some of my friends.“

સદનસીબે, છતાં, Ortiz was able to fight this past February 28 in his first action in six months, headlining a CES Boxing-promoted card at home in Worcester, મેસેચ્યુસેટ્સ, in which he registered an impressive second-round stoppage of Mexican knockout specialist“Loco” Luis Ronaldo Castillo (22-6, 17 કોસ), a former WBC FECOMBOX lightweight champion.

Ortiz, presently rated No. 16 નોર્થ અમેરિકન બોક્સિંગ ફેડરેશન દ્વારા (NABF), aspires to attend medical school after he hangs up his gloves for good, to become a doctor/researcher. He reads a lot about medicine, especially holistic treatments, and he believes that he may have already had the coronavirus.

“Five weeks before my last fight,” he explained, “I was in the hospital with a temperature of 104.5. Just about everybody I knew was sick, my grandmother had pneumonia. I never really get sick. I had a flu shot for seven years without an issue. I developed a cough, too. I felt like I was going to die. I can’t say with certainty I had coronavirus (there was no test available then), but I feel like I may have had it.”

Ortiz will be ready for the night the ring bell will finally sound again. “I hope to be fighting again in July or August, પરંતુ, no matter when boxing returns, I’ll be ready to go.

“This is a serious, contagious disease. People should use common sense: wash your hands, stay separated by six feet, and stay at home, especially the elderly and people with respiratory problems. Don’t take any unnecessary risks or panic, either. This isn’t the end of the world!"
