INDIO, CA (February 21, 2023) – With his highly anticipated Golden Boy Fight Night on DAZN main event approaching quickly, one of boxing’s most energetic and fan-friendly fighters, NABA Super Flyweight Titleholder John “Scrappy” Ramirez (10-0, 8 KOs) of Los Angeles hosted a media workout at the Joel Diaz Training Camp in Indio. He will be fighting for the vacant WBA Continental Americas Super Flyweight Title against Luis “Callado” Padilla (15-3-2, 2 KOs) of Guadalajara, Mexico. The event will take place on Thursday, February 23 at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino and will be broadcast live worldwide on DAZN beginning at 6:00 p.m. PT / 9:00 p.m. ET.

The first Golden Boy Fight Night on DAZN show of the year will also feature a special co-main event as Coachella Valley’s beloved, undefeated local fighter Manuel “Gucci” Flores (14-0, 11 KOs) will measure up against Franklin “El Abuelo” Gonzalez of Los Teques, Venezuela (25-1, 25 KOs). The eight-round bantamweight fight will be guaranteed action, as both fighters have a string of knockout performances.

Also on the card, Lorraine Villalobos (5-4, 2 KOs) of Los Angeles will participate in a six-round minimumweight fight against Katherine Lindenmuth (2-1) of Albuquerque, New Mexico. In another female bout, Stefani “Stefi” Cohen (2-1-1, 1 KO) of Miami, Florida will fight in a four-round bantamweight fight against Leanne Calderon (1-2-1) of Austin, Texas. Opening the DAZN broadcast with a four-round heavyweight match, Zachary Spiller (2-0, 2 KOs) of Houston, Texas will battle Kaleel Carter (3-3, 3 KOs) of Bellflower.

Opening the night, Grant Flores, cousin of Manny “Gucci” Flores and who trains with famed trainer Joel Diaz, will make his pro-debut in a four-round super welterweight fight against Jorge Lopez (0-1) of Queretaro, Mexico.

Here’s what some of the participants had to say from their media workout:
JOHN “SCRAPPY” RAMIREZ, NABA SUPER FLYWEIGHT TITLE HOLDER:
“There are people out there doubting that I can do it. I love it; I love the haters because they give me more motivation to prove them wrong.

“Fans can expect a great show on DAZN from me. I’m on my way up proving that I’m someone to watch.”

MANUEL “GUCCI” FLORES, BANTAMWEIGHT FIGHTER:
“On fight night, we are going to come with a bang, baby! We’re coming with fireworks, with explosiveness, something you guys haven’t seen for a long time. We have a good opponent in front of us, so we’re going to show you guys what we can do.

“My opponent is a wild guy – he likes to throw a lot of crazy punches. The first round, we’re going to see what he does; if he is going to come forward with that aggressiveness or go backwards.”

GRANT FLORES, SUPER WELTERWEIGHT PROSPECT:
“It’s a great privilege to make my debut on a Golden Boy card, in my hometown, in front of my friends, family and supporters. Fans can expect me to show up and bring fireworks.

“I’ve been waiting for this opportunity to come – to be able to display my talent and my quality skills that I’ve been working hard on in the gym. I had a really great and extensive amateur career and the next stop is to become a world champion.”

NEW YORK – February 21, 2023 – A pair of unbeaten prospects in the Salita Promotions stable will kick off their 2023 campaigns as middleweight Da’Velle Smith and super lightweight Joshua Pagan enter the ring in separate four-round attractions this Saturday, February 25 from Motor City Casino in Detroit.

Both fighters will be competing in their home state of Michigan, as Dearborn’s Smith and Grand Rapids’ Pagan will take on fighters to be announced shortly. The pair join another Salita Promotions stablemate competing on the card, as rising middleweight Joseph Hicks Jr. faces fellow unbeaten Bilal Quintyne in a six-round attraction.

“Da’Velle and Joshua and are two of the best U.S. prospects out there,” said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions. “Both are born and raised in the rich culture of Michigan and Detroit boxing. I am excited about their upcoming fights and the world class potential that both of them have.”.

The 22-year-old Smith (4-0, 3 KOs) made his pro debut in September 2021, winning the WBC’s inaugural Big Belt Championship by knocking out Ricky Evans in the first round. Smith would follow that triumph with a pair of knockouts in November 2021 and May 2022, before most recently winning a unanimous decision over Devontae McDonald last August.

“I can’t wait to put on a show for my hometown fans,” said Smith. “My training camp went great. My plan is to keep climbing up the ranks towards a middleweight world title. I’m ready to show the world who Da’Velle Smith is.”

Pagan (4-0, 2 KOs) won the 2021 U.S. Amateur Welterweight National Championship with a unanimous decision over Keon Davis. The 23-year-old followed that up by turning pro in January 2022, scoring KO’s in his first two outings. Most recently, Pagan won a six-round unanimous decision over the previously unbeaten Jeremiah Lewis Watts in October 2022.

“Training camp has gone really great and making the weight has been getting easier and easier,” said Pagan. “I’ve also had really good sparring for this fight and everything is on point for Saturday night. You can expect to see me at my very best when I get in the ring. Each and every fight, I strive to perform better than my previous outing, and this fight will be no different.”

LONDON (Feb. 21, 2023) –Mikaela Mayer is coming back to the U.K. for the second time in a row.

The former unified junior lightweight champion will make her lightweight debut against former two-time junior welterweight world champion Christina “Medusa” Linardatou on Saturday, April 15, at Copper Box Arena in London.

Mayer-Linardatou will serve as the co-feature to the WBO interim heavyweight title clash between undefeated British knockout artist Joe Joyce and Chinese contender Zhilei Zhang.

Promoted by Queensberry Promotions, Joyce-Zhang, Mayer-Linardatou and undercard bouts will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+. 

“Mikaela Mayer made such a big hit in the UK that it only made sense to for her to fight across the pond again,” said Top Rank chairman Bob Arum. “Mikaela is still one of the very best fighters in the world, and she demanded a tough fight for her lightweight debut. Linardatou has proven herself at the world-class level and should give Mikaela a run for her money.” 

Mayer (17-1, 5 KOs), a 2016 U.S. Olympian, signed with Top Rank in 2017 and captured the WBO junior lightweight championship with a unanimous decision victory against Ewa Brodnicka in October 2020. The following year, the Los Angeles native unified the WBO and IBF titles in an action-packed slugfest against Maiva Hamadouche. In her last fight, Mayer suffered the first defeat of her career, a razor-thin split decision setback to Alycia Baumgardner at London’s O2 Arena. Mayer wants to reverse her lone defeat, but she’ll first step up to lightweight to face Linardatou, the only woman to defeat Baumgardner in the paid ranks.

Mayer said, “The second I returned to the U.S. after my last fight in London, I called my team and told them to get me a fight ASAP. I didn’t want to wait, and I didn’t want to fight anyone other than a top contender! I’m hungry and motivated to prove that I’m still the best. When Top Rank sealed the deal with the tough and experienced Christina Linardatou, I was excited and inspired. She’s an aggressive, come-forward fighter, which is going to force me use all my tools. I always love the energy and support I get when visiting the UK, and I’m excited to come back and give everyone a great fight.”

Linardatou (14-2, 6 KOs) was born in the Dominican Republic but moved to Greece as a young child, where she developed her love for boxing. When she was 26, she returned to her native country to begin her pro career with a first-round technical knockout over Claribel Ferreras. The 34-year-old remained undefeated until unsuccessfully challenging Delfine Persoon for the WBC lightweight world title in 2016. Linardatou bounced back with four more wins, including a victory over Baumgardner and a win against Kandi Wyatt to capture the vacant WBO junior welterweight championship. Linardatou lost her 140-pound belt to Katie Taylor in 2019 but regained that title with a unanimous decision over Prisca Vicot in February 2020. Linardatou returned from a 29-month layoff last July, winning a six-round decision over Aleksandra Vujovic.

Linardatou said, “I’m excited to be fighting Mikaela. She is coming off a loss to Alycia Baumgardner, whom I easily beat some years ago. I know she will be looking to make a statement in this fight. This is my first big fight after having a baby, which means my mission is different. Prior to having a baby, I would fight for titles and money. Now, I am fighting for legacy and to show my son how great his mom is.”

LOS ANGELES (February 21, 2023) – There’s a new sheriff in town and his name is Zach Spiller!

The 6’ 4”, 265-pound heavyweight from Houston will open up the Golden Boy Promotions card on DAZN this Thursday night, streaming live from Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California, on a card headlined by his 3 Prime Management (PM) stablemate, NABA super flyweight champion John “Scrappy” Ramirez (10-0, 7 KOs).

Spiller, who made his pro debut a year ago, (2-0, 2 KOs) faces Kaleel Carter (3-3, 3 KOs) in a 4-round bout. “This is a great opportunity for me,” Spiller explained. “It caught me off guard. 3 Point Management (3 PM) from Los Angeles, CA called to tell me he had gotten me on Scrappy’s show and that I’d be opening up the DAZN stream. I’m very appreciative of them, Golden Boy Promotions and DAZN for this opportunity to fight on a large platform. Scrappy has really helped me out a lot with advice on how to handle myself. I don’t know much about my opponent other than he fought on the same card as me in our last fight. I’m living my dream of being a professional boxer. I’m still learning, but I do feel I’ll be one of the best.”

A southpaw with pop in both hands, the 29-year-old Spiller was born in Missouri and moved to Texas when he was 10. Despite his size in a state like Texas, Spiller didn’t play football or any sport for that matter. He started boxing at the age of 16, when one of his friends told Spiller’s mother that she should get him into boxing, largely because he was getting in fights all the time. His father, Terry, was an MMA fighter and a few of his relatives boxed. In short, Spiller has fighting in his blood.

Spiller grew up in Killeen, Texas, with his good friend, undefeated heavyweight prospect Darius Fulghum (3-0, 3 KOs), who, unlike Spiller, was an elite U.S. amateur boxer. Spiller was in only four amateur matches, winning three as a novice but suffered a dislocated shoulder in his lone fight in the open division. A series of injuries kept him sidelined for several years and when he returned to the ring, he decided to turn pro last year. He believes that his lack of amateur boxing has been compensated for with the invaluable experience he’s gained against top-notch heavyweight such as Jared Anderson and Filip Hrgovic, among others. He leaves this weekend for Las Vegas to join Joe Joyce’s training camp as a sparring partner.

Self-described as a force who makes good adjustments in the ring, Spiller attracted 3 Point Management’s (3PM) attention back in a Houston gym. After spending the day with the Houston-based fighter, they invited Spiller to spar at Brickhouse Boxing Club in North Hollywood, California.

“I did well,” Spiller said. “I really like the way 3PM handle themselves. I wanted to work with people who care about me, not just for boxing. I’ve sparred some of the best heavyweights and I can’t wait to showcase my skills this Thursday night on DAZN.”

10 Rounds Super Middleweights (170lb catchweight) Main Event

Manuel “El Meno” Gallegos, 20-1, 17 KOs Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico

Richard Vansiclen, 13-0, 6 KOs, Seattle, Washington

Vansiclen made his ProBox TV debut on September 9, his most recent fight, and came away with a unanimous decision win against his toughest opponent to date, Hakim Lopez, who was unbeaten in thirteen fights. Gallegos will be fighting for the first time outside on Mexico.  He had won his first seventeen pro fights prior to a unanimous decision setback in 2020, and has since won two. 

RICHARD VANSICLEN played football in high school – punter, QB and safety.  Went to college and began boxing as a sophomore. His current trainer was also his college trainer. “We had a good camp. A few weeks got the call for this fight, but we had been training. I was gonna be on the Tszyu Charlo card. My opponent is tall and lanky and has had many fights in MX. I know he comes forward and likes to throw hooks and he has a good record.  He doesn’t use his reach to his advantage and likes to fight inside. He doesn’t like to fight moving backwards. I’m going to utilize my athleticism and connect on more devastating shots. My last fight (ProBox in FLA) was the furthest away from home I had been for a fight. But now that’s in the rear-view mirror and I want to win better than I did last time. From that fight I learned perseverance and just being myself and landing shots and being confident.”

MANUEL GALLEGOS – “A month ago I got the call for this fight.  I’d been working out for a February 8 fight then was advised this is better opportunity.  I was inactive for some time due to covid then had a hard time finding fights. There are not many Mexicans in Mexico in my weight class. I know he’s a tough fighter and a southpaw which is always difficult but we have been training for southpaw so it shouldn’t be a problem. We have found some fighters in other gyms same size as Vansicle and southpaws. In the fight that I lost I felt very weak due to making the weight. It was supposed to be at 160 then when I got there they said 154. I agreed because I thought it would be easy but turned out not so. In the last year packed on some muscle and also had a growth spurt.  On Wednesday, I will use my reach and try to avoid letting him get inside.”

6 Rounds Middleweights Future Stars TV #4

Darelle Valsaint, 6-0, 5 KOs, 2020 Tokyo Olympian, Orlando, Florida

Lucas de Abreu, 14-2, 11 KOs, Former Brazilian Champion, Sau Paulo, Brazil

Valsaint made it to the quarter-final in the 2020 Olympic games and has become a ProBox TV staple, having fought three of his six professional fights on the platform. His last three fights have been against tough competition – opponents with records of 12-1, 6-1, 23-2, a rarity for such a young fighter. De Abreu won the Brazilian super middleweight title in 2019. He most recently fought for the World Boxing Association Fedacaribe super middleweight title, losing a decision.

DARELLE VALSAINT: “I’ve been fighting right but I’ve been switching up. I am both. I write with both hands; I throw a ball with both hands, and I shoot a basketball with both hands. At the beginning of my career, I was orthodox but I broke my right hand when I was 13 then learned how to box southpaw. And do everything else left-handed also. I recently changed my diet and been eating right.  Drinking a lot of water and eating fruit.  It has given me more speed. This fight was supposed to happen in December, but I was having some back problems. Turns out that doing some strength and conditioning and cutting out dairy and other bad foods and staying hydrated got me all better.  Chicken and veggies so now I am pain free. The back problem definitely hit me that I had to get right. This is a step up for me. I want everyone to say, ‘who is this guy coming up at ProBox.’

Garry Jonas PoBox TV CEO: “The plan is to fight him 6 times this year – make up for some lost time – then he should be ranked in the top ten.”

LUCAS de ABREU: “I was getting ready for a December 16 fight that got cancelled then I got the call for this fight. The last fight I lost was a good fight. It was very tight, and it was in his back yard. What I learned in that fight is that I can go ten rounds no problem – I had good strength and conditioning.  I also learned when you go in another’s backyard, I need to get the KO. I consider myself a boxer that also has punching power. My favorite boxer in Juan Manuel Marquez and I also like him as a commentator. I don’t know much about my opponent – I know about myself and my work and what I need to do to prepare myself. I have confidence to win the fight. I need a KO and I am very happy for this fight, and I hope to represent my family and my trainers to do my best when I get in the ring.”

6 Rounds Super Middleweights Future Stars TV #3

Najee Lopez, 5-0, 5 KOs, Atlanta, GA

Cristian Rios, 23-16-3, 7 KOs, Buenos Aires, Argentina

The heavy-handed Lopez made his pro debut as heavyweight and has yet to be involved in a professional fight going to the scorecards. His fights have ended in rounds 1, 2, 2, 4 and 3. As an amateur, Lopez was 2015 National Junior Olympics Champion, 2018 Georgia State Golden Gloves Champion and 2018 National Golden Gloves runner-up. Lopez will have his hands full going up against the rugged and experienced Rios, the former Argentina Federation middleweight champion who successfully defended that title twice.

NAJEE LOPEZ: “I started as a heavyweight and fought heavyweight in amateurs. I am now taking food health and nutrition seriously. My last fight was at 186 and the one before that 192.5.  I was really fast at heavyweight now I am faster. I had power then and I feel I haven’t lost any while at these lower weights.  I feel more in shape. I feel like I got sharper. I have speed and power and use whatever is needed for that particular fight. Worst part of having a broken jaw? Not being able to fight.  I shadow boxed. I know that Rios doesn’t press the issue. He’ll back up into the ropes then shoot.  He flicks the jab, and his footwork is good but it’s nothing we can’t handle.  I’ll take my time and throw a lot of jabs then take him out.”

CRISTIAN RIOS: “I’m going to fight in short distance.  I usually fight at middleweight and walk around at 171.  I was not feeling well for that fight (lost by stoppage). I waited for four hours to weigh-in waiting for the opponent to show up.  He would have never beat me if it wasn’t for that wait. I have been training in Boston since December. I work as a machinist in the railroad in Argentina. I fight because I like it. My job will give me up to a year furlough to train and fight. (Must be good at his job). I’ve seen a couple of his fights – he’s good – I need to keep the fight in short distance, that is the key to victory.

6 Rounds Super Featherweights Future Stars TV #2

Marques Valle, 7-0, 6 KOs, Wesley Chapel, Fla

Jarrod Tennat, 8-1, 4 KOs. Los Angeles, California

Valle made his pro debut on September 4, 2020 with a first round knockout and has since fought every fight at ProBox Events Center on ProBox TV. In. his first six fights, only one made it past the first round (round 2). In his seventh fight, and most recent, the opponent was disqualified in round two for excessive holding.

JARROD TENNAT:  For this fight I trained at Main Street Gym in Houston, but I am from LA. I just saw a little clip of my opponent. The long lay-off I had was I got a job as a radiographer.  My one loss? It was a DQ. He was holding me and the ref was telling him to stop – for the third time – and he wouldn’t then I threw him off me and he hit the ground and acted like he was hurt and couldn’t continue. I’m happy for this opportunity. I haven’t seen much on him I will just go in and do what I do, which is good defense and stay on the inside as much as possible.  When inside, he is taller, so my punches will get there faster than his.  Good head movement and make him miss and make him pay.

4 Rounds – Middleweights – Opening Bout

Derek Cintron, Pro Debut, Tampa, FL

Dario Guerrero, 1-2, Harvard Graduate, Long Beach, CA

DARIN GUERERRO:  “I am a Harvard graduate. I studied film making. I was undocumented so Harvard was the only one to give me a (dreamer) scholarship. My mom got cancer, so I left college for a year, after my freshman year, and took a camera home to document her story then it became my thesis. It’s called ROCIO – you can Google it if you want to see it. I never boxed until I got to Harvard. For this fight I know I have had to prepare to my utmost. I watched his amateur fights.  He is fast and has some power, so my objective is to box.”

CHESTER, PA (FEBRUARY 20, 2023)–Dylan Price remained undefeated with a 10-round unanimous decision over gritty Jobert Alvarez to win the WBO Global and WBC Intercontinental; Bantamweight title in front of a near-capacity crowd at the Elevations Event Center in Chester, Pennsylvania.

The special two-fight card was promoted by Price Promotions.

Dylan Price, who had nine-time and four division world champion Nonito Donaire in his corner, was quick and started his flurries as he mixed up his attack by landing head and body shots. Alvarez was extremely game as he would often try to land his own combinations in return. Price landed the much harder punches, and snapped the head back of Alvarez on several occasions. Price was urged on by a supportive fan base. Alvarez kept Price honest with some solid combinations, but never put any fear into Price and the undefeated Sicklerville, New Jersey fighter continued his pressure and effective punching until the final bell.

The world-ranked Price won by scores of 100-90 and 98-92 twice to raise his mark to 16-0. Alvarez of Renton, Washington via General Santos City, Philippines is 20-5-2.

Price dropped Arriagada three times with two of them coming on body shots. The fight was halted at 2:07.

MINNEAPOLIS – February 20, 2023 – Hard-hitting KO artist Subriel Matías plans to kick start a big year for his native Puerto Rico when he faces unbeaten Jeremias Ponce for the vacant IBF 140-pound world title this Saturday, February 25 headlining live on SHOWTIME from The Armory in Minneapolis in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

“I represent both my country of Puerto Rico and my city of Fajardo each time I step into the ring,” said Matías. “When I win on February 25, it will only be the beginning of a glorious year for Puerto Rican sports. Not only will I be world champion, but hopefully we’ll win the World Baseball Classic so we can all rejoice.”

To put himself in position to fight for the world title, Matías has put together three of the best performances of his career following a decision loss to Petro Ananyan in February 2020. Matías bounced back by stopping two previously unbeaten fighters, Malik Hawkins and Batyrzhan Jukembayev, to set up a rematch with Ananyan. Matías was able to drop and stop Ananyan in the ninth-round of that fight and set up this showdown with Ponce. Argentina’s Ponce will enter the fight as the underdog, but for Matías, he sees that his opponent holds similar attributes to one of Ponce’s countrymen.

“Ponce is tough and he possesses a unique style,” said Matías. “I would compare him to Marcos Maidana, who’s shocked the boxing world plenty of times. I don’t see a lot of people similar to him in boxing nowadays. Ponce is a great fighter, and I respect both him and Argentina. But my goal is to not let this fight go the distance.”

In preparing for his first world title opportunity, Matías took up camp in the remote Jiquipilco, Mexico, which is located two hours outside of Mexico City, and has stayed there for over 10 months as he nears a potentially life-changing fight.

“Being in this location has helped me find the peace and focus that I needed to be ready for this fight,” said Matias. “I’ve had great sparring that’s helped me prepare for a lot of different styles and I’ve been running six times a week.”

Although the 30-year-old has thrived in training, he admits that amongst everything that could be coming, he most looks forward to reuniting with his family after February 25.

“My youngest daughter was born a week after my last fight, so I was only able to be with her for three months,” said Matías. “We keep in touch constantly, but the first thing I’m going to do after the fight is spend time with my three daughters. I’m blessed to have three beautiful princesses that fill my heart, and it’s my duty to take care of them.”

After expressing his respect for his unbeaten opponent, Matías made clear that his sights are set squarely on one of the division’s big names, as he hopes to go right after WBC 140-pound world champion Regis Prograis with a win on February 25.

“When I finish this fight with my arm raised high I’ll have only one name in mind: Regis Prograis,” said Matías. “Prograis thinks that he’s the only character in boxing, and I respect him a lot. But I want to show him that there are people in this world that can be even crazier than he is.”

SCEE, founded by His Highness Prince Khalid bin Abdulaziz AlSaud are responsible for biggest fights in the Middle East, primarily out of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia including Anthony Joshua vs Andy Ruiz II and most recently Oleksander Usyk vs Anthony Joshua II.

Abdallah was recently brought onboard by the Prince to oversee the boxing operations and put together some of biggest fights to be made.

“It’s a tremendous honor for me to have been appointed such a pivotal position in the landscape of boxing in the Middle East and across the globe.” Abdallah stated. “His Highness Prince Khalid bin AbdulAziz has massive plans for the region and for boxing in general in which I’m confident boxing fans will thoroughly appreciate. SCEE isn’t tied to any one promoter or network, we have plans to work with everyone in the industry to deliver fights the fans want to see.”

The next event scheduled is the highly anticipated challenge of Jake Paul’s career dubbed “The Truth” on February 26th when he takes on Tommy Fury in an 8-round bout. With two previous failed attempts at making the fight happen, both fighters have now arrived in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and are prepared to square off next week.

“The Truth” Paul (6-0, 4 KOs) vs Fury (8-0, 4 KOs) will be shown in the United States on ESPN PPV with the live broadcast beginning at 11am PST / 2pm EST. The co-feature on the bout is for the WBC Cruiserweight Title between defending champion Illunga Junior Makabu (29-2, 25 KOs) and Badou Jack (27-3-3, 16 KOs).

“This is arguably the most anticipated “hybrid card” put together to date featuring one of the most talked about personalities in the sport, Jake Paul and the question of what happens when he fights a “real” boxer. Tommy Fury fits that bill and we’ll have that answer on the 26th. That fight, coupled with a co main event featuring a WBC Title fight between Junior Makabu and Badou Jack, makes it for a very interesting night of boxing” Abdallah added.

NEW YORK (FEBRUARY 20, 2023)–Two Split-T Management fighters remained undefeated with solid victories over the weekend.

Friday night in Topeka, Kansas, Ardreal Holmes won a 10-round split decision over Ismael Villareal in a battle of previously undefeated junior middleweights.

The bout headlined a SHOBOX: The New Generation and was broadcasted LIVE on SHOWTIME®.

Holmes of Flint, Michigan, who was making his second appearance on SHOBOX, boxed very well from the outside as he used his 6’2″ frame to box from the outside and landed some solid combinations on the inside against the charging Villareal.

Holmes was very effective with his straight left hand and well-timed uppercuts.

Holmes won by tallies of 97-93 and 96-94, while a third card somehow gave Villareal a 96-94 edge to keep his perfect record intact at 13-0.

“I felt like he won two, three rounds,” Holmes said. “I don’t know where that one card came from. I feel like I dominated the fight and felt like he might have gotten two or three middle rounds, but that was the max. I felt like I out-jabbed him and out-fought him. I felt like this was a step-up from last time I fought, and this was a tougher fight. I’m only 13 fights in so I’m going to keep improving.”

Holmes is promoted by DiBella Entertainment and Holden Productions.

Jersey City, NJ (February 20, 2023) – Undefeated super welterweight, JAHYAE “GOLDEN CHILD” BROWN (12-0 9KO’s) joins what is slated to be an exciting card on March 4 at White Eagle Hall in Jersey City, NJ in an 8 round super welterweight bout. Brown will take his chances against the infamous Star Boxing prospect slayer, DENIS “BILLABONG” OKOTH.

Brown is a rising prospect out of the “Capital District” of New York. At 23-years-old, the dynamic boxer-puncher has a perfect record of 12 wins, with 9 victories coming by way of knockout. In 2021 Brown secured the vacant ABF Atlantic Super Welterweight Title by defeating Dormedes Potes in Derry, New Hampshire. Last June Brown shined on the Artur Beterbiev vs Joe Smith Jr. undercard at the famous Madison Square Garden (Hulu theater) defeating game Irishmen, Keane McMahon, by unanimous decision on ESPN+. The “Golden Child” looks to continue his momentum in 2023, with the goal of cracking the world ratings by years end.

Jahyae is excited to start his 2023, “I can’t wait for March 4th to get back in the ring and showcase my skills. First, thank you to God and my family, my team and Star Boxing for this great opportunity. Shoutout to all my supporters in the 518 who will be tuning in or coming down from Schenectady to watch me fight. We are going to have a great night. The motto for this fight is simple, ‘Veni, Vidi, Vici.’”

Challenging Brown is Kenyan born, Maryland based, Denis Okoth (Silver Springs, MD, 4-5-1 2KO’s). When Okoth steps in the ring March 4, Jahyae Brown will be his seventh undefeated opponent in eleven professional bouts. Okoth previously defeated Star Boxing prospects, undefeated Dylan Moran at Resorts World Catskills by vicious third round TKO, and Ronnie Austion by majority decision at Star Boxing’s “Rockin’ Fights.” Okoth has also faced prospects such as Reshat Mati, Elvis Rodriguez and Shinard Bunch.

Okoth had this to say about the opportunity, “This is Denis Okoth, AKA Billabong! I’m really excited to be back again in 2023 and I do believe this is going to be an amazing fight. I can’t wait to be in the ring again on March 4th. I also want to thank Star Boxing. God bless”.

Star Boxing CEO JOE DEGUARDIA had this to say “We really like the energy Jahyae brings to the ring. He’s exciting, entertaining, and willing to lay it on the line. Okoth has beaten some of our top prospects in the past and always comes to fight. This is slated to be yet another thrilling fight on what is shaping up to be an extremely entertaining card.”

DAVID ADELEYE IS the new WBO European heavyweight champion following a resounding stoppage victory over Dymtro Bezus at York Hall on Friday night, with both Mark Chamberlain and Henry Turner retaining their IBF and WBC belts respectively.

The explosive Adeleye set about the Ukrainian from the first bell, with the previously unbeaten Bezus floored with a big, straight left in the opening round and rocked by an uppercut just before the bell.

Bezus did rally in the second, but his revival proved to be short-lived as a howitzer of a chopping left hook ended his night, with referee Bob Williams calling an end to proceedings after 1.48 of the round and a bouncing York Hall acknowledged a new champion.

Mark Chamberlain took his time to figure out the threat posed by a tough customer in Vairo Lenti, with the Italian challenger having not previously suffered defeat via stoppage.

Ultimately, the Waterlooville warrior was the more aggressive, but more importantly, accurate in his work and in the fifth round the jaw of Lenti was buckled by a hellacious left hook delivered by the 24-year-old, who moves to 12-0 and still the owner of the IBF European lightweight title.

The official time of the knockout was 53 seconds of round five. Marcus McDonnell officiated.

Henry Turner celebrated reaching double figures as a professional with a third stoppage victory in four fights over the Spaniard Zeus de Armas to retain his WBC International Silver super lightweight title.

The 22-year-old is a highly-skilled operator who doesn’t rely on power in any way, but he put his man down in the third round with a looping left and again in the fourth courtesy of a right hook to the body.

Turner’s attack to the body was to prove decisive and in round seven referee Mark Lyson had seen enough when de Armas again was put to the canvas and time was called with 1.20 of the round completed.

In the non-title fights, Chris Bourke got back in the groove after his unsuccessful tilt at the British super bantamweight title last year by dropping down to bantamweight and returning against the dangerous Darwin Martinez.

The record of Martinez is deceptive. While he has taken 10 losses, six of his seven wins have come via KO, so he clearly presents a threat. This was demonstrated in the first round when he rocked Bourke with a big right and the Streatham man appeared disorientated across the first three minutes after being out with injury for knocking on a year.

The Peacock Gym pupil regrouped impressively from the start of round two and put his man down with a vicious left to the body, repeating the trick a further two times in round three and referee Lee Every had seen enough after 2.53 of the round.

Blue Chip prospect Royston Barney-Smith again showed his class in his fifth professional fight against Lesther Lara. A right hand straight to the body accounted for the typically durable Nicaraguan and now the 19-year-old has three straight stoppages on his card, with the treble taking up less than three minutes of action.

At cruiserweight, Aloys Jr continued to shine and made short work of the Czech Jiri Krejci. An attack to the body folded Krejci after just 38 seconds and the 19-year-old moved to 3-1 as a pro, with all three coming via stoppage.

Two six-rounders opened the night, with 8-0 super welterweight Carl Fail enjoying a shutout victory over Serge Ambomo and 8-0 super bantamweight Adan Mohamed doing likewise against Francisco Rodriguez.

College Park, GA – February 17, 2023 – It is with great regret that BLK Prime announces the cancellation of the Adrien Broner vs Michael Williams Jr. fight scheduled to take place on February 25 at The Gateway Center @ College Park, GA.

The event was set to be broadcasted live on BLK Prime PPV, but unfortunately, Williams Jr. sustained an injury during sparring which has made it impossible for him to participate in the upcoming fight.

The fight will be postponed to a later date with a new opponent announced. We understand the disappointment this news may bring to the fans, and everyone involved in this event, but the safety of the fighters remains our top priority.

“I worked my ass off and I see what the bottom really looked like for the first time. I looked in the mirror and I told myself I am not that person and I got off my ass and went to work! These last four months I got in amazing shape and I’m in a great space in my life. I know this ain’t the WWF but right now I feel like Triple H cause I’m back healthy, happy, and HUNGRY!!! Sorry to all my fans but I will continue this journey SUPPORT ME AND I FIGHT FOR YOU” – Adrien Broner

Plant City, FL, February 17, 2023  – –  The fight card is loaded for ProBox TV’s “Future Stars on Wednesdays,” when four young fighters, each yet to taste defeat, will each fight their toughest competition to date. Vansiclen, Valsaint, Lopez and Valle will each lay their unadulterated records on the line Wednesday, February 22 at the ProBox Events Center in Plant City, Florida, live on ProBoxTV.com and the ProBox app.   

A ProBox TV subscription is only $1.99 per month!

Tickets, starting at $50, are available HERE

Doors Open at 6 pm, First Bell at the ProBox Events Center is at 7 pm and the live broadcast begins at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT.

The following are the fights that will be streamed live. Claudia Trejos, color commentator for ProBox TV, adds remarks.

10 Rounds Super Middleweights TV #4 (170lb)

Manuel “El Meno” Gallegos, 20-1, 16 KOs Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico

Richard Vansiclen, 13-0, 6 KOs, Seattle, Washington

Vansiclen made his ProBox TV debut on September 9, his most recent fight, and came away with a unanimous decision win against his toughest opponent to date, Hakim Lopez, who was unbeaten in thirteen fights. Gallegos will be fighting for the first time outside on Mexico.  He had won his first seventeen pro fights prior to a unanimous decision setback in 2020, and has since won two. 

6 Rounds Middleweights Future Stars TV #3

Darelle Valsaint, 6-0, 5 KOs, 2020 Tokyo Olympian, Orlando, Florida

Lucas de Abreu, 14-2, 11 KOs, Former Brazilian Champion, Sau Paulo, Brazil

Valsaint made it to the quarter-final in the 2020 Olympic games and has become a ProBox TV staple, having fought three of his six professional fights on the platform. His last three fights have been against tough competition – opponents with records of 12-1, 6-1, 23-2, a rarity for such a young fighter. De Abreu won the Brazilian super middleweight title in 2019. He most recently fought for the World Boxing Association Fedacaribe super middleweight title, losing a decision.

Said Claudia Trejos: “DARELLE VALSAINT is perhaps the best fighter at ProBox.  He is still a prospect and his (most recent fight and) win vs veteran Paul Mendez was a good measure of his No Fear attitude. He was not intimidated by Mendez’ extensive experience.”

6 Rounds Super Middleweights Future Stars TV # 1

Najee Lopez, 5-0, 5 KOs, Atlanta, GA

Cristian Rios, 23-16-3, 7 KOs, Buenos Aires, Argentina

The heavy-handed Lopez made his pro debut as heavyweight and has yet to be involved in a professional fight going to the scorecards. His fights have ended in rounds 1, 2, 2, 4 and 3. As an amateur, Lopez was 2015 National Junior Olympics Champion, 2018 Georgia State Golden Gloves Champion and 2018 National Golden Gloves runner-up. Lopez will have his hands full going up against the rugged and experienced Rios, the former Argentina Federation middleweight champion who successfully defended that title twice.

“NAJEE LOPEZ comes from the last Chance Tournament. After fighting at 186-190, he is now fighting at supermiddleweight.   I want to see how well he does at 168,” added Trejos.

6 Rounds Super Featherweights Future Stars TV #2

Marques Valle, 7-0, 6 KOs, Wesley Chapel, Fla

Jarrod Tennat, 8-1, 4 KOs. Los Angeles, California

Valle made his pro debut on September 4, 2020 with a first round knockout and has since fought every fight at ProBox Events Center on ProBox TV. In. his first six fights, only one made it past the first round (round 2). In his seventh fight, and most recent, the opponent was disqualified in round two for excessive holding.

“MARQUES VALLE is a big Puncher,” said Trejos’
