Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments Off

Lou DiBella: ?¢??¬??It?¢??¬??¢s a terrific show, in the big room (Hammerstein) because it deserves to be in the big room.

Once again I am proud to present Dmitriy in a main event. Broadway Boxing has become his home base. It?¢??¬??¢s another step toward a major fight, a title fight, hopefully on HBO or Showtime.?¢??¬?¯

Dmitriy Salita: ?¢??¬??I am currently in Delray Beach Florida (training in Deerfield), I had to get away from the cold. Training is going very well.

Thaxton: The best is yet to come

Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments Off

Jonathan Thaxton makes the first defence of his British Lightweight Title on the March 16 Hennessy Sports show insisting that the best chapter of his comeback story is still yet to come.

Thaxton faces Stoke?¢??¬??¢s Scott Lawton (20-2-1) in front of his home fans at the Norfolk Showground after his unanimous points win over fellow Hennessy Sports boxer Lee Meager in Dagenham in December.

The 32-year-old shrugged off a nasty cut eye to lift the domestic crown and complete an unlikely return to the top of the British scene after a shoulder injury suffered in a car accident forced him to announce his retirement in 2002.

Thaxton spent two years out of the ring before getting on the comeback trail, which has seen him win seven successive fights since his temporary retirement.

Now Thaxton hopes victory over Lawton in the ?¢??¬??Showdowns at the Showground?¢??¬??¢ event - which also features Esham Pickering?¢??¬??¢s bid to win back the British super-bantamweight title against Marc Callaghan ?¢??¬??? will lead to bigger things. Read more

?¢??¬??People are making too much out of the fact that there is a four-pound difference between us. Everyone has known for a long time that I was moving up to 122. Vazquez may be a natural 122-pounder, but right now I feel very strong. I may be stronger than Vazquez.

?¢??¬??But because he is naturally bigger I know that I will have to fight very intelligently. Read more

Malignaggi (22-1, 5 KOs) hadn’t fought since June 10, when he lost his first fight as a pro by 12-round decision, suffering a fractured cheekbone in the process to the then WBO light welterweight champion Miquel Cotto, and switched trainers for the Cheery fight with James “Buddy” McGirt in his corner for the first time.

SAN ANTONIO, TX (February 28, 2007) — “Pacmania” has officially hit San Antonio and it has hit in a big, big way. The box office for the Manny Pacquiao vs. Jorge Solis WBC International super featherweight championship fight opened Saturday at 10 AM, and by the close of business on Sunday, it stood alone as the second-biggest opening weekend for a boxing event in San Antonio history. Bigger than Oscar De La Hoya’s 1997 welterweight title defense against David Kamau, and even bigger than Pacquiao’s 2003 knockout victory of Marco Antonio Barrera.

When British heavyweight titlist Scott Gammer puts his crown on the line this Friday, March 2 against hard punching former champion Danny Williams, it’s sure to be an all-action fight for as long as it lasts but the two men will also be heralding a new initiative in live internet broadcasting.

The Sports Centre in Neath, Wales plays host to this clash of heavyweight titans and Williams must step into this lion’s den, packed to the rafters with local man Gammer’s rabid fans, if he is to emerge from the heat of battle once again in possession of the British heavyweight title.

Williams (36-6, 29 KOs) has faced down steep challenges before and the “Brixton Bomber” will be forever remembered as the man who defied the odds and effectively ended the career of the once terrifying “Iron” Mike Tyson.

But Gammer (17-0-1, 9 KOs) refuses to be intimidated by the menacing Williams and has vowed that the London based veteran represents no more than a stepping stone on his way to cleaning out the domestic heavyweight scene before mounting an assault on the world stage. Read more

O’Donnell: Britain’s most avoided

Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments Off

Hennessy Sports promoted John O?¢??¬??¢Donnell faces Stuart Elwell for the vacant English welterweight title at the Nottingham Arena on March 23rd, glad that someone has at last agreed to box him.

A series of experienced fighters have turned down the chance to face O?¢??¬??¢Donnell, who is becoming arguably the most avoided boxer in Britain.

O?¢??¬??¢Donnell, who has only just turned 21, has a growing army of admirers. He had a stellar junior amateur career, claiming Olympic gold and two ABA titles, and has racked up 14 wins as a professional with his slick southpaw style and machine gun combinations.

O?¢??¬??¢Donnell can now win his first pro title if he defeats fellow unbeaten puncher Elwell on the Hennessy Sports ?¢??¬??Cobra?¢??¬??¢s Hood?¢??¬??¢ event being headlined by British and Commonwealth super middleweight champion Carl Froch.

Promoter Mick Hennessy cannot be accused of over-protecting O?¢??¬??¢Donnell. He has attempted to match the Shepherds Bush boxer with more experienced fighters, only to be presented with a series of excuses.

Chingford?¢??¬??¢s Michael Lomax pulled out of a Southern Area title fight against O?¢??¬??¢Donnell and Crawley?¢??¬??¢s Ross Minter vacated his English title after O?¢??¬??¢Donnell was made his mandatory challenger. Read more

MSE Disputes Chapman’s Claim

Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments Off

Munisteri Sports & Entertainment President Steve Munisteri disputes the story that appeared last week contending that Alexander Povektin was dodging a fight with J.D. Chapman. According to Munisteri, the German Television Network and Sauerland Promotions always wanted David Bostice as the preferred opponent for Alexander Povektin and that they only looked to other opponents when Bostice turned down the fight initially.

Steve Munisteri, President, stated, ?¢??¬??We were called a couple of months ago and we were told that German TV was so happy with David Bostice?¢??¬??¢s performance against Luan Krasniqui that they would like him to return to Germany to face Alexander Povektin. However, a deal could not be reached at that time because David already had a scheduled fight and the money was not significant enough. It is my understanding it was only at that point that they looked to other opponents such as J.D. Chapman as potential replacements. Read more

The Sultan Ibragimov (19-0-1, 16 KO?¢??¬??¢s) vs. ?¢??¬??The Mexican Monster?¢??¬?¯ Javier Mora (21-3-1, 17 KO?¢??¬??¢s) main event is not the only intriguing match up involving a Russian heavyweight on Saturday, March 10, at The Theater at Madison Square Garden.

The co-feature will bring the highly-regarded Russian-born Roman Greenberg (24-0, 17 KO?¢??¬??¢s) to the Big Apple in quest of his 25th consecutive victory without the taste of defeat.

Greenberg has registered three straight knockout triumphs, and is considered one of the game?¢??¬??¢s top heavyweight prospects.

Only 24 years old, Isreali heavyweight contender Greenberg has been impressing more people with each fight, as he makes his way up the rankings. At 6?¢??¬??¢3?¢??¬??¢?¢??¬??¢ and weighing 240 lbs, and with the ability to box or bang in the ring, Greenberg has demonstrated both the physical tools and maturity in the ring to be a bona fide contender. The IBO Intercontinental heavyweight champion holds wins over tested veterans Kendrick Releford and Julius Francis, and in his last bout he knocked out Steve Pannell in just three rounds. Roman was born in Russia, lived in Austria and moved to Isreal when he was 11. He currently resides in Haifa, Isreal, but also has a residence and trains in England. As a result Greenberg speaks English, Russian, German and Hebrew fluently. Read more

PROVIDENCE, RI (February 21, 2007) - 2004 U.S. Olympian Jason “Big Six” Estrada, on a search for his next opponent, responded to rumors that Tony Grano (6-0-1, 6 KOs) has been calling him out. “I’ve had three different people tell me that Grano has been shooting his mouth off about challenging me,” Estrada said. “He didn’t even want to spar with me but if really wants a fight, let him step up to the plate and call my promoter, Jimmy Burchfield. We’re looking for an opponent for April 6 and the fights probably going to be in his home state, Connecticut. I’m from Rhode Island and this match up would be good for New England boxing. It’s probably going to be my last six-round bout, so Grano has his chance if he gets past Tyrone Smith on Friday night. When is he going to fight somebody who hasn’t been handpicked for him to easily beat? Hey, any heavyweight interested in fighting me should call Classic Entertainment & Sports, Inc. (401.724.2253).” Read more
