Salamov Defends Championships with Unanimous Decision over Ghana’s Anim in Sochi, Русия

Оставете коментар

В събота, Декември 1, at the Galaktika Culture Centre in Sochi, Русия, Umar Salamov will defend his Eurasian Boxing Parliament and WBO International Light Heavyweight Championships when he faces once-beaten Emmanuel “Horse Power” Anim in an explosive 10-round showdown.

 

 

 

Salamov (22-1, 17 Нокаута), from Alkhan-Kala, Русия, is currently ranked WBC #10, WBA #13, IBF #7 and WBO #10 в света. Anim (13-1-1, 11 Нокаута), from Accra, Гана, is a former Ghanaian Super Middleweight and Light Heavyweight Champion. The fight will also be televised live in Russia on Match TV.

 

 

 

“I take every fight seriously,” said Salamov. “My preparations have been excellent for this match. I scored a KO in all my wins this year and I’ll do it again on December 1.”

 

 

 

Salamov caught the boxing public’s eye in North America last June with a brutal one-punch knockout over respectable prospect Brian Howard. With top-10 rankings by every major sanctioning body, it’s a matter of time for the 24-year-old slugger.

 

 

 

“The light heavyweight division is one of the most talent-packed in boxing,” said Salamov’s promoter, Дмитрий Salita. “Umar is one of the best in the world and with an impressive victory on December 1, he will be one step closer to reaching his goal of becoming a world champion.”

VACANT WBC 154 POUND SILVER BELT CHAMPIONSHIP MAKES PERFECT SENSE FOR A LIAM SMITH-ROBERTO GARCIA MATCH-UP

Оставете коментар

Dkp

Deerfield Beach, FL (Октомври 31, 2018)—Roberto Garcia wants to reclaim his WBC Silver Belt Championship and what better way than to match him up with England’s Liam Smith for the vacant title.

Garcia (41-4, 24 Нокаута), who has been in training since losing his Silver belt to Martin Murray in a 12-round unanimous decision on June 23, is ready to take on the durable Smith (26-2-1, 14 Нокаута) for the belt.

“I saw Smith’s fight against Jaime Munguia for the WBO Super Welterweight title on television,” said Garcia. “It was an all-out war and I feel that the two of us can bring the same type of fight and intensity into the ring for the title. Готов съм да тръгвам."

Smith went the distance in Las Vegas with Munguia and lost his interim WBO Super Welterweight title, which he had won in beating Liam Williams on April 8, 2017 and defended in a rematch with Williams on Nov. 11, 2017 in winning a majority decision.

“Garcia is ready to make the fight with Liam Smith and so is his promoter, Don King,” said manager Lee Holliday. “Both of these fighters are true warriors, so let’s get it on for the title.”

All it takes is a phone call from promoter Frank Warren to Don King and the fight will be on.

Chance of a lifetime for heavyweight prospect Alexander “The Great” Flores

Hits road to face former world champion
Джоузеф Паркър
Декември. 15 in New Zealand

LAS VEGAS (Ноември 20, 2018) – Former World Boxing Organization (WBO Youth World Heavyweight Champion Alexander “The Great” Flores, promoted by Roy Jones, Jr. Бокс (RJJ), has an opportunity of a lifetime December 15, when the gifted 28-year-old Mexican-American travels halfway around the world to take on former world heavyweight titlist Joseph Parker in New Zealand.

Fighting out of Rowland Heights, Калифорния, the heavy-handed Flores (17-1-1, 15 Нокаута) is confident as he trains at home to face Parker in his backyard.

“There is no way this fight goes 10 кръга,” Flores said. „Ще го нокаутирам. A lot of people might not have heard of Alexander ‘The Great’ Flores yet, but they’ll all know who I am after December 15th.”

Flores’ lone loss as a professional came 3 ½ years ago against former world champion Charles Martin for the North American Boxing Association (NABF) корона. Цветя, who took the fight with only two weeks’ notice, was stopped in the fourth round.

“Alexander can dramatically change his life by defeating Parker and we’re confident he can go to New Zealand and pull off an upset,” said Keith Veltre, co-promoter of Roy Jones, Jr. Бокс. “Alexander has power in both hands and he will certainly test Parker’s chin. Flores isn’t going over there just for a paycheck, he’s going to send shockwaves throughout the boxing world.”

An impressive victory against Parker, who has lost his last two fights against unified world champion Anthony Joshua and Dillian White, should propel Flores high in the competitive heavyweight division.

“I’m really glad that Alex is coming to New Zealand full of confidence,” remarked Parker, who is training in Las Vegas. "За мен, boxing is all about the challenge, and this is another big one. I know what is at stake. I need to win and win well. I need to knock him out and I will knock him out, but I can’t focus on that. I need to focus on getting better each and every time I get in the ring.”

Parker has never been knocked out as a pro and he’ll be fighting at home for the first time in 1 ½ години.

“After a five-year undefeated run that took Joe all the way to the WBO World title, we now find ourselves in very unusual territory, coming off back-to-back loses,” Parker’s head trainer Kevin Barry noted. “Joe has never been in this position before and needs a top performance. Joe finds himself under huge pressure to not only win this fight, but to win big and get his career back on track.

“These guys (Parker and Flores) are the same height (6’ 4”) and both pack a serious punch, so it stacks up as a great contest. Това е опасна битка, one that Joseph Parker is fighting for his career.”

Parker, обаче, may be looking past Flores, according to his recent statements in the media. Първи, Parker called out Tony Bellew, who just lost to undisputed, undefeated world cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, and then the big New Zealander said he’d like to fight the winner of Whyte-Derek Chisora II.

Междувременно, Flores is training like Rocky to make a major statement, one that promises to surprise a lot of boxing fans.

Исия Селдън е готов за непобедения в средна категория Тайлър Хауърд на 16 ноември в Оклахома Сити

Оставете коментар

Atlantic City, NJ (Ноември 1, 2018) – Исия Селдън в средна категория се готви за най-голямата си битка в кариерата си, когато се бие с непобедения Тайлър Хауърд в двубой, насрочен за осми кръг на 16 ноември в Чесапийк Енерджи Арена в Оклахома Сити.

 

 

 

В схватката, което се насърчава от Top Rank, ще се излъчва на живо по ESPN +.

 

 

 

В основното събитие шампионът на WBO за юноши в полусредна категория Морис Хукър ще се защити срещу Алекс Сауседо.

 

 

 

Селдън (12-1-1, 4 Нокаута) тренира в Атлантик Сити под зоркия поглед на Бил Джонсън.

 

 

 

“Очаквам с нетърпение тази чудесна възможност,” - каза Селдън. “Копнеех за възможност да се бия с боец ​​като Хауърд, тъй като победата ще изведе кариерата ми на следващото ниво.”

 

 

 

Екип Селдън, работи усърдно с дългогодишния мениджър Джим Курц, много развълнуван от възможността, която Селдън има пред себе си.

 

 

 

“Не става по-голямо от битката в шоу с най-висок ранг с експлозивно главно събитие между Хукър и Сауседо. Персоналът в Top Rank е на първо ниво. Наистина съм развълнуван от Исия да получи тази възможност да покаже своите таланти на голяма сцена. Аз и съуправителят Джо Томпсън сме убедени, че Исия е готов да блесне на 16 ноември и не може да стигне тук достатъчно бързо,” - каза Кърц, който е управлявал Селдън от първия ден.

 

 

 

Кърц също управляваше бащата на Селдън, WBA шампион в тежка категория, Брус Селдън.

 

 

 

“Исия се събра с оригиналния си треньор Бил Джонсън и те не пропуснаха нито един ритъм. Това е първият път, когато Исия има пълноценен тренировъчен лагер. Не сме оставили камък на камък в подготовка за тази битка. Условието на Исия е в момент, който никога досега не съм виждал с него. Той получава страхотен спаринг и подобрението му в работата с Бил в подготовката за тази битка е невероятно. Той е готов да покаже на света нова и подобрена Исия Селдън. Той има голямо наследство, след което е син на бившия шампион на WBA в тежка категория Брус Селдън, но Исия е решен да направи своя отпечатък в спорта по бокс.”

 

 

 

“Винаги е имал власт и в двете ръце, вкарване на нокдаун в почти всяка битка, но сега той се учи да запази спокойствие и да довърши момчетата, вместо да се вълнува прекалено много и да ги пусне. Той удря по-силно от всякога, слагайки ударите си заедно и неговата боксова способност е достигнала ниво, където той може да контролира темпото на битката. Забавихме се с Исия, като се има предвид, че той не е имал никакви аматьорски битки, но сега сме на мястото, където той е готов да направи своя отпечатък в средната категория.”

 

 

 

“Знаем, че Тайлър Хауърд е добър непобеден боец. Той имаше добра аматьорска кариера, идва от семейство с бокс, и има солиден мениджърски екип, който е свършил чудесна работа с него. На 16 ноември очакваме тежка битка с някои фойерверки, но сме уверени, че Исия ще излезе победител и това ще ни отведе към по-големи и по-добри възможности.”
