Las Vegas, NV: Main Events, InterBox and Jean Pascal Promotions are proud to announce Jean Pascal (29-3-1, 17 KOs) will face Yunieski Gonzalez (16-0, 12 KOs) in the ten-round co-feature of the Kovalev-Mohammedi Unified Light Heavyweight World Championship fight on July 25 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada. Both fights will be televised live on HBO World Championship Boxing® beginning at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.

Pascal, the former WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion, looks to prove he is still a force to be reckoned with in the light heavyweight division by taking on a young undefeated prospect in Gonzalez. This will be his first fight outside his adopted home country of Canada since 2008 and his third fight in seven months. The 32-year old is originally from Port-au-Prince, Haiti and currently resides in Laval, Quebec, Canada.

“I’m eager to get back in the ring,” said Pascal. “The years where I have been very active are the ones that I’ve performed the best. Gonzalez is a good fighter and everybody knows I am not content with fighting just a regular fighter. I’m already back in the gym and focusing on July 25.”

Pascal will face a big challenge from his opponent, undefeated Cuban prospect Yunieski Gonzalez. Yunieski has a stellar 75% knockout-to-win ratio and has stopped his last seven opponents in a row dating all the way back to 2012. His previous three fights have not lasted past the third round and two of those were first-round stoppages. The 29-year old is originally from Cuba and now makes his home in Miami, Florida.

“This is the fight I have been waiting for,” said a confident Gonzalez. “I’m not punching at him, I’m punching through him and when I’m done with him he won’t be any good for anyone else.”

Main Events’ CEO, Kathy Duva, is excited to work with Pascal and InterBox again. She said, “Kovalev and Pascal are both true warriors in the sense that they are always willing to face the very best. So putting them on the same card made a lot of sense for us and for the fans who will get to see both of them bring their electricity to the same ring again. With Pascal there is never a dull moment in the ring and, as proof that he never backs away from a challenge, this time he steps up to face a talented, hungry undefeated contender who has the ability to knock out anyone he faces.”

“For his third fight in less than a year for Jean Pascal, this is a great opportunity and challenge for him,” said Jean Bédard, President of InterBox. “Gonzalez had a phenomenal amateur career and his professional career seems to follow the same direction. It’s always a pleasure to work with Kathy Duva and Main Events.”

Greg Leon, CEO of Jean Pascal Promotions, added, “Jean Pascal Promotions is thrilled to be back on HBO for the second time in four months. Yunieski Gonzalez is a talented fighter and a formidable challenge but I have no doubt Jean Pascal will be far too much for him.”

Joe DeGuardia of Star Boxing, Gonzalez’s promoter, said “I am thrilled to be on to such a sensational HBO card filled with light heavyweight bangers. We are very high on Yunieski Gonzalez and this is the kind of fight that he needs to propel him to the top of the light heavyweight division.”

Memphis, Tennessee ( May 29, 2015)– TONIGHT at the W.C. Handy Pavilion in Memphis, Tennessee, undefeated Super Middleweight, Derrick “Take it to the Bank” Webster will make his first start of 2015 when he takes on William Johnson in a six-round bout that is part of a card that will be televised live on CBS Sports Network.

Webster is promoted by GH3 Promotions and Greg Cohen Promotions.

Webster of Glassboro, New Jersey has a record of 18-0 with 9 knockouts and has not been sitting idle during the six months he has not been in the ring.

“Training has been great. We had some dates moved on us, so we stayed at home for camp. We used a lot of different sparring partners and I have a new strength and conditioning coach. I did a lot of new things such as running the bleachers, some great ab work as well, ” said Webster.

Webster has been no stranger to layoffs as guys are not running fast to face the 6’4″ inch southpaw who has displayed good boxing ability and power.

“It frustrates me but I have been dealing with it my whole career. I know I should be a lot further along but now I have promoters and managers (D & D Management) that should help ease that problem. So with that in mind, I can’t wait to see what is to come.”

In Johnson, Webster is fighting a guy with a pedestrian record but that was not by choice.

“It is hard to get up for this opponent. We had at least 12 guys turn down the fight for one reason or another. There is nothing I can do to make guys fight me. I am just going into this fight to get a win and start fighting the upper echelon guys. I think I will come right back in July and we will be fighting for some regional titles.”

“I appreciate the support. I love my family and fans. This fight will end in a knockout. I am glad I can display this on national television and the world will finally recognize what they have been missing and that is that I am the best southpaw in boxing.”

GH3 Promotions features undefeated Middleweight Antoine Douglas, Super Middleweight’s Jerry Odom & Derrick Webster, undefeated Super Bantamweight Adam Lopez as well as Boxcino Jr. Middleweight champion John Thompson, undefeated Welterweight Jerrell Harris,undefeated Super Bantamweight Qa’id Muhammad, undefeated lightweight Oscar Bonilla, Heavyweight Natu Visinia and Light Heavyweight Lavarn Harvell to the GH3 Promotions stable.

“All the hard training is done and now it’s time to zone in,” said Robert Guerrero. “Everyone should be watching the PBC on NBC June 6th because I believe this is going to be a crowd-pleasing fight. Aron Martinez is not coming to lay down. He’s had plenty of time to prepare for this fight and I’m expecting him to come out guns blazing. One thing is for sure, I’m going to be throwing some hard shots right from the opening bell. My goal is to bring an entertaining fight to the fans and let my hands go. Fight night can’t come soon enough.”

MAURICIO HERRERA, Former Interim WBA Super Lightweight World Champion:

“Thank you to Golden Boy Promotions for taking a chance on me for my career. Last year was a tough year. Two of the fights I was robbed in. This fight on July 11 will be justice for Herrera.

“Who better than to fight this tough man, Hank Lundy. We are both hungry and not scared of anybody.

“Lundy says he’s coming to fight and box. This is going to be the last fight, and we are going to shut it down. I’m going to take him to school.

“I hope everyone enjoys the fight and can make it out July 11 to the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena.”

HANK LUNDY, Top Super Lightweight Contender:

“Every time I touch Mauricio with that glove it will bring pain. You are going to think about retiring after this fight. I’m ready to go to war.

“I hope Mauricio is in shape. But listen, I’m always in shape and always ready to go.

“That belt, I had it, and I’m bringing it home. This is a championship fight, and once I beat you, they will know who the real champion is: ‘Hammerin” Hank Lundy.”

ERIC GOMEZ, Senior Vice President of Golden Boy Promotions:

“These guys, Herrera, Lundy, Perez and Bogere, all have big hearts and will give it their all. These are going to be toe-to-toe wars on July 11. They will be fun to watch.

“We put a lot of time and effort in these fights. There is a lot of boxing on TV right now, and, how do you standout? You make great fights. We sit down with Oscar and our matchmaker Robert Diaz to make these great fights. Sometimes we spend hours debating the match ups.

“This kid they call ‘The Lion,’ Sharif Bogere has a great record. He is ranked by all the organizations as one of the top lightweights in the world.

“If you have never seen Michael Perez, you don’t want to miss this. He is an exciting fighter to watch. He is a hard fighter to handle.

“The best fighters have to fight the best. The only way you can do that is work with others. We have a great partner with CES Promotions for this fight July 11.

“Bernard Hopkins has always told us at Golden Boy Promotions, ‘you have to check out that hammer kid, that ‘Hammerin” Hank Lundy.’ He always talked about how dedicated he is, how serious he is about boxing. He comes from a tough town and they take their sports very seriously in Philadelphia.

“Herrera and Lundy are both top contenders knocking on the door for a world title. All that makes for a good fight. They are going to bring all that emotion in to the ring.”

Patrick Sullivan, Director of Operations at CES Boxing:

“I want to compliment the staff at Golden Boy. They are the best in boxing to work with.

“I urge everyone to come out and support the fight. Keep boxing alive out here.

“I called Hank and in typical Hank Lundy style, he said yes before I finished my sentence. This has been his MO from the beginning, he always says yes.

“He has had a lot of time to prepare for a fight, with two months, we will see the best hammering Hank we have ever seen. Hank has taken on all challenges, and he will take fights on short notice.

“With $10 tickets, that is a steal. You are going to get a great fight. Come out and support it. We are confident that Hank will be bringing the title back to Philly.”

“Outside of Madison Square Garden and the Olympic Auditorium, I think the LA sports arena has the greatest history of a boxing arena in the US if not the world.

“The LA Sports Arena is scheduled to be torn down, this may be the last boxing show and possibly the last event at the arena ever. Closing with an important boxing show is as important as anything.

Vargas (26-0, 9 KOs), a native of Los Angeles who now lives in Las Vegas, and Bradley (31-1-1, 12 KOs), from Palm Springs, Calif., will go mano a mano for the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight world title, Saturday, June 27, at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif. The fight will be televised live on HBO World Championship Boxing®, beginning at 9:45 p.m. ET/PT.

These two gladiators boast a combined record of 57-1-1 (21 KOs) — a winning percentage of 97%.

“I am very religious so I began to pray for the right person to train me,” said Vargas. “Instantly, the name of Erik Morales came to me. I was able to track him down and he came right to our training camp in Las Vegas. I watched practically of all Erik’s big fights – the wars with Marco Antonio Barrera, the fights against Manny Pacquiao. Erik always fought hard and with all his heart. That’s who I want in my corner, someone who will give me everything they have to beat Bradley.”

“I’ve trained many fighters in Mexico. But Jessie is the best fighter I will be working with and this is the biggest fight, against Bradley,” said Morales. “We will win this fight. Jessie will put on pressure with intelligence and mix it up, using counter-punching. Bradley likes to go into his comfort zone in the ring. We will attack there too.”

Philadelphia (May 29,2015)–Tonight at the Stadium Holiday Inn in Philadelphia, King’s Promotions presents a great night of boxing that will headlined by 10-round Jr. Lightweight bout between Frankie De Alba (15-1-2, 5 KO’s) and Bernardo Gomez Uribe (14-3, 10 KO’s).

In a six-round Super Middleweight bout Farah Ennis (21-2, 12 KO’s) will make his return to the ring after a 22 month hiatus when he takes on Michael Gbenga (20-19, 20 KO’s)

Ennis, who was last seen dropping a 10-round unanimous decision to new WBC Super Middleweight champion Badou Jack, is looking to get back into contention with a big outing over the veteran from Ghana.

“Training has been good. I only know that Gbenga is from Ghana,” said Ennis.

After what Ennis admitted was a lackluster performance against Jack, he needed some time away from the sport in order to get himself back on track.

“I took the time off to get my mind together. In that fight I didn’t let my hands go. I was thinking too much and I know I could have beat him. It just wasn’t my night.”

Ennis also took the time off to get into some training camps and improve on his own game.

“I was in camp with David Lemieux for when he fought Gabriel Rosado. It was during that time I got my head back and now is where I need to be. I need to go out and listen to my dad (Trainer Bozy Ennis). I am in 32 years old now. This is it. It is either all or nothing.”

“I just hope everyone comes out and supports as I am looking to put on a show and start the next phase of my career.”

Ennis weighed 167 pounds at Thursday’s weigh in. Gbenga checked in at 169.

In a crowd pleasing fight, Amir Khan made his case for a September fight with Floyd Mayweather by winning a 12-round unanimous decision over Chris Algieri in a battle of former world champions at Barclays Center.

The fight was a back and forth fight early as surprisingly Algieri fought out of his norm as was the stalker. He has some solid success as he landed some hard rights and left hooks in between Khan’s flurries. The bout seemned even at the halfway point.

Khan started taking over and winning very competitive rounds. In round 10, Khan buckled Algieri with a solid right. The fought hard down the stretch with each gave giving it all as the final bell sounded.

Khan, 146.4 lbs of Bolton, England win by scores of 115-113 and 117-111 twice to raise his mark to 31-3. Algieri, 146.2 lbs of Huntington, NY is now 20-2.

AMIR KHAN

“I thought I worked well inside. I’ve never done a lot of work in the pocket like that and I plan to do more of that in the future.

“I give Chris a lot of credit. He came forward a lot more than we thought he would and he had a big chin tonight.

“Chris gave it his all tonight. This is the best Algieri we’ve seen in a long time, and if he’d have fought Manny (Pacquiao) that way he might have won.

“Everyone knows I want Floyd (Mayweather) next after all the talk about it, but when you wait and hope for something for this long it can set you back. I don’t want to overlook any other fighters, including Chris.

“My first show with PBC has been great. The New York crowd was awesome and really got into it. The promotion was excellent and I’m proud to be a part of this team.”

CHRIS ALGIERI

“I thought I pressured Khan well and got my touches. He definitely didn’t like it when I got into his body.

“I thought I hurt him several times, but Khan’s a cagey fighter and he spins off. I guess the judges liked that tonight. I would think the cleaner, harder shots would get a little more respect.

“I think PBC is fantastic. The focus is on the fighters, not the politics or the promoters. This is helping bring the sport back to boxing’s glory days of primetime events for the fans.

“I haven’t thought much about after this fight. I’m disappointed, but I’ll watch the film from this fight and we’ll go from there.”

Javier Fortune won the WBA Super Featherweight title with a 12-round unanimous decision over Bryan Vasquez.

It was an entertaining fight with Fortuna looking to land the home run blow while Vasquez used his unortodox style was able to get through with some solid punches.

Fortuna, 130 lbs of La Romana, Dominican Republic won by scores of 117-111 twice and 116-112 to raise his mark to 28-0-1. Vasquez, 129 lbs of San Jose, Costa Rica is now 34-2.

JAVIER FORTUNA

“I’m very surprised that the fight went the distance. Vasquez is a strong fighter. After the fifth round, I was boxing to score points.

“I was never really hurt by Vasquez, but I hurt my own hand on his head.

“Vasquez didn’t really affect me throughout the fight. The swelling on my eye is from a headbutt.

“The biggest key to my success tonight was my training. Before this I didn’t have the stamina that I needed. However, after my work with Hector Bermudez leading up to this fight I was more than ready.

“Becoming a champion here in New York is huge for me. I’m very proud of my performance tonight.”

BRYAN VASQUEZ

“My style is to box and then move. Fortuna fought a smart fight tonight. He wouldn’t engage me and fight.

“Fortuna used his head and elbows a lot tonight, but I don’t want to use that as an excuse. I tried telling the referee, but nothing was done.

“I worked very hard for three months of training to get to this fight. I hope I won over some fans today because I fight to please them.

“Hopefully I get a rematch because this is not the end of my career, and I’d love the chance to take that belt from Fortuna.

“I want to thank PBC for this opportunity. It was great being a part of this show and I hope they’ll think of me again in the future.”

2012 U.S. Olympian Marcus Browne remained perfect by winning a 10-round unanimous decision over Cornelius White in a Light Heavyweight bout.

Browne, 175.2 lbs of Staten Island, NY won by scores of 99-91 twice and 98-92 and is now 15-0. White, 175 lbs of Houston, TX is now 21-4.

Keith Tapia scored an explosive 8th round stoppage over Leo Pia in the final round of their Heavyweight bout.

There was some solid action throughout until Tapia leveled Pia with a crunching left the plummeted Pia to the canvas and the fight was stopped instantly at 2:42 of round eight.

Tapia, 200.2 lbs od Santurce, PR is now 15-0 with 10 knockouts. Pia, 199 lbs of Wichita, KS is now 5-5-2.

Hardy, 122.8 lbs of Brooklyn is now 13-0. Bosquez, 122.8 lbs of St. Petersburg, FL is now 8-3-2.

Wesley Ferrer slid by by winning a 6-round majority decision over Jose Miguel Castro in a Lightweight bout.

Ferrer dropped Castro in round one but Castro fought back and dropped Ferrer in the fifth. It was Ferrer;s work rate that won him the bout by scores of 58-54, 57-55 and 56-56.

Ferrer, 134.8 lbs of Brooklyn, NY is now 9-0. Castro, 134.4 lbs of Carolina, PR is now 4-4.

ORANGE, Calif. (May 27, 2015) -Thompson Boxing Promotions is celebrating fifteen years in the boxing business and to commemorate this milestone, the Southern California-based promoter presents “Path to Glory,” a five-bout card featuring the always exciting Danny Roman (14-2-1, 5 KOs), a super bantamweight from Los Angeles, against Chris Martin (28-5-3, 9 KOs), a savvy tactician from San Diego (8-rounds).

The event originates this Friday from the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, Calif.

Roman is coming in blazing hot with six straight wins. The winning streak is certainly impressive, but what is more spectacular is the manner in which he is routing opponents.

He started the streak in 2014 with a second round knockout of Jose Angel Cota. In June, he followed up with a near shut out of Jonathan Arellano, a talented counter-puncher. Roman knocked him down twice in the eighth, and took home a unanimous decision with scores 80-70, 80-70, & 79-71.

Fast-forward to August, and Roman was busy knocking out Pedro Melo in the second round. One month later, he taught Jonathan Alcantara a boxing lesson by sweeping a unanimous decision with scores 80-72, all around.

“Last year was a tremendous year for me,” said the recently turned 25-year-old. “Everything slowed down for me. I was able to see things before they happened, which made me real comfortable, and it was easy to find my rhythm.”

This year Roman has continued his scorecard domination. In March, he faced the veteran Miguel Tamayo and managed to score knockdowns in the fourth and sixth rounds. He would cruise to a unanimous decision win, 80-70 all around. One month later, he out-boxed the far more experienced Giovanni Caro and left with his usual sweep of the scorecards (80-72).

“Will Danny continue adding wins in dominating fashion,” asked Ken Thompson, president and founder of Thompson Boxing. “That’s one of the most intriguing story lines of the event. Chris Martin is an advanced-level boxer and Danny is in for a difficult fight.”

“I know Martin is well experienced and he knows how to use angles to get inside,” Roman said. “I just have to stick with my game plan and not worry about the judges.”

Fans can purchase tickets, which are priced at $40, $60, & $100, by calling 714-935-0900, or going online at ThompsonBoxing.com.

In other action, one of Southern California’s most popular fighters, Efrain Esquivias (17-3-1, 10 KOs), jumps to the featherweight division to face the young Jose Haro (8-1-1, 6 KOs) of Salt Lake City. The fight is scheduled for eight competitive rounds.

In the other marquee match up, super bantamweight Juan Reyes (12-1-3, 2 KOs) of Riverside, Calif. brings his exciting brand of boxing to the more experienced Robert Castaneda (21-9-1, 15 KOs) of Mexico in an 8-round scrap.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. PT and the first bout starts at 7:45 p.m. PT. The Doubletree Hotel is located at 222 N. Vineyard Ave, Ontario, CA 91764, and can be reached at 909-937-0900.

BROOKLYN (May 28, 2015) – On Thursday night, June 4, Dmitry Salita’s Star of David Promotions will bring it’s Brooklyn Brawl series to LIU Brooklyn Paramount Theater with a terrific night of boxing.

In the main event, undefeated Heavyweight Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller (12-0-1, 10 KO’s) will risk his undefeated mark when he takes on Damon McCreary (15-4, 11 KO’s) in a bout scheduled for 8 rounds.

McCreary has been training hard in Detroit as Miller will be his 4th consecutive and 7th overall undefeated opponent.

He has previously been in with current WBC Heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder as well as Jordan Shimmell, Ali Mansour and Charles Martin.

“My training has been excellent. I feel great. I know what I have going against me,” said McCreary.

In Miller, McCreary will be facing a guy who stands about 6’4″ and checks in around 260 lbs. McCreary has been preparing for that with regular sparring against huge men.

“I know he is a big guy. I been sparring with guys who stand about 6’8″ and 6’9″. I know Miller is young, hungry and a puncher. His skills are OK but he hasn’t fought at the level I have been at.”

McCreary has been a pro since 1998 and he feels that could be a big factor in his favor.

“My experience is a huge factor. I know up until the last couple years that he has been an MMA fighter. I just hope he doesn’t kick me or put me in a headlock.” quipped McCreary.

Despite being 41 years-old, McCreary is confident that a win in New York will catapult him into some great opportunities.

Born in Cuba but now fighting out of Las Vegas, he won a super featherweight world title in July of last year by defeating Argenis Mendez in impressive fashion. Most recently he delivered a second round TKO over Angino Perez in March and looks to impress once again when he hits the ring in June.

The 29-year-old Vasquez has fought professionally since 2012 and served two tours of duty in Iraq as a member of the National Guard. He made it to the semifinals of the 2012 U.S. Olympic trials and won gold at the 2010 and 2011 Armed Forces Boxing Championships. The fighter out of Monessen, Penn., has not lost as a professional and is coming off of a unanimous decision over Emmanuel Lartey in February of this year.

Born in Nigeria, but fighting out of Oxnard, Calif., Omotoso is looking to make it three wins in a row when he battles Vasquez. His most recent victories were both knockouts as he defeated Abraham Alvarez and Eduardo Flores. The 30-year-old made his U.S. debut in 2011 and has racked up a 7-1 record stateside.
