Brooklyn, New York (October 16, 2021)

How does a kid from Shirley Long Island make it onto the world stage of professional prize fighting? Enter, CLETUS SELDIN (Shirley, NY 25-1 21KO’s). Seldin is set to defend his NABA Super Lightweight title against tough Brazilian, WILLIAM SILVA (28-3 16KO’s) in a 10-round cross-roads fight at Triller Fight Club tonight (10/16) live from the Barclays Center.

Seldin grew up on Long Island’s south shore and from a young age had a no quit attitude. While attending Longwood high school, Cletus was a talented multi-sport athlete as both a state champion wrestler and starting cornerback for the Long Island Champion Longwood Lions. It was during this time Cletus decided he would become a professional athlete.

At 5’7″, a professional football career was out of reach. Instead, Seldin turned his sights to becoming a professional body builder, competing in a few meets. While finding some success, it would not be his passion. At the age of 22, Cletus walked into a boxing gym for the first time.

After a year of getting beat up, Cletus began to see a change, becoming the aggressor – and the “Hebrew Hammer” was born. Cletus’ strong work ethic and hunger to win translated to dominance in the ring. His come forward, throwback style reminiscent of the greats of boxing’s past like Marciano created a fear in his opponents. He becomes the cerebral assassin that abuts you with the left and puts you to sleep with the “Hebrew Hammer” right.

Saturday night marks an important test for Seldin. Entering the fight on a four-bout knockout streak and, more importantly, on the fringe of world title contention. In his way is stablemate, William Silva, who finds himself in the same position as Seldin, but simply on the other side of the ring. Only one man will have his hand raised, and to the victor goes the spoils. Will the “Hebrew Hammer” put an abrupt stop the fight as he has done 21 times prior, or will Silva put out the flame and take the belt and victory back to Brazil? Tune in tonight to find out.

The stream is set to begin at 6PM ET. The main event is estimated to walk at 8PM ET. Tickets can be purchased at TrillerFightClub.com. The Seldin-Silva & Gonzalez-Ananyan slugfest is promoted by Triller Fight Club, DiBella Entertainment and Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing.

Nunez, who is a perfect 22 knockouts in 22 pro victories, was one of the best kept secrets in boxing, but the added exposure he received from fighting on UFC FIGHT PASS platform will undoubtedly make him much better known, particularly in the United States. with 21 knockouts in 21 victories, however,

Mikey Garcia
 
 
“We’re excited to be back. I’m excited to be back to Saturday and show the world that I’m still here. I told everybody that I’m here. I haven’t left. There still much more from my key Garcia to give the fans. It’s just another fight to give back and show them. I did take the fight with Jesse. We had plans to have a great year last year. But because of the pandemic, you know everything kind of froze and went silent. But I’m excited to finally get back and look for much bigger fights. I want to be big again and big title fights. And all the fights that excite me the most. That’s another step in that direction.
 
“I’ve been there. I’ve been in his shoes in his place. Where you want that opportunity to show your fans in the whole world what you’re made of. So, I always think that I know what he has and the feature that he sees if he would’ve beat me on Saturday. But I’m not going to let that happen. I’m also want to try to reach greater success. Quite a fight. I’m not overlooking him. I must take him very seriously. I’m going to have the best version of Sandor Martin on Saturday night. This is going to be a bigger fight for him probably than if you were fighting in Europe for a vacant title. A vacant world title that doesn’t highlight enough or probably doesn’t do enough for him as this fight does. This is the highest level, the highest stage of his career. 
 
“I can expect the very, very best Sandor Martin Saturday night. I want the very best so I can get the very best out of me also. If I had an opponent who was going to take a knee, it doesn’t motivate me. That doesn’t do it for me. That doesn’t excite me. I want someone who can push me and touch me. To bring out the very best.
 
“I do feel I have to perform and win, spectacular. I keep hearing people ask if I need to knock out. I don’t need a knockout to look great. I don’t need a knockout to show everybody who I am as a fighter. I still have everything, and I haven’t lost a step. I just got to do well, perform well, and do my job. Get the win. In a way that people can recognize my talent is still here. And that’s what I plan to do.”
 
Sandor Martin
 
“It’s a great opportunity and I must take advantage of it. It’s a great championship, to be fighting against Mikey Garcia. That’s why I got involved in boxing, to accept the great challenges, to achieve my dreams. So why worked all my life for this opportunity.
 
“It’s very important for me to be making my debut against Mikey Garcia. It’s a great opportunity to present myself for the first time in the United States. And yes, this is a challenge. I need exposure on the big level so that after I can fight the big events and fight the big names in boxing. That’s why I came here. Mikey Garcia is one of the best fighters. And I always want to fight the best fighters.
 
“48 hours is how long it will take until I present myself to the world. With the rest of the world champions to be put on notice.”
 
Elwin Soto
 
“It’s going to be a big war. What I know is that I’m going to go out there and win.
 
 
“I think it will be the defense that’s kind of tough. I hope we will do very well and I’m passing through this commitment in the unification fight, and I hope to move up to another division.
 
“To be able to fight there, on the Canelo card, it’s something I never expected, and it was a great opportunity. So, I’m grateful to matching for the opportunity and to be here as well. I feel very nice here in Fresno, California and I know I’m going to give a great fight.”
 
Jonathan Gonzalez 
 
“The only thing I can say is that Saturday night is going to be a war. I’m coming to be the next world champion. I live for big fights.
 
“I have to be a world champion now. This could be my last opportunity. That’s why I’ve tried hard for this fight. October 16 is going to be a great night in Puerto Rico is going to have another champion.”
 
Marc Castro
 
“I’m excited to see the fans reactions in the fans coming out to support. I know the support is real here in Fresno. Everybody knows me here and my family and they know that a lot of hard work went into this.
 
“The main thing is that I stay in the gym. I stay focused. I work hard every day and try to become the best version of myself. I feel like in 2022 I’m gonna keep getting better and better. I believe the best version of myself can’t be beat.”
 
Angel Luna
 
“I’m ready for the fight. Thank you to the fans. Thank you everybody. Thank you for the support. We’re going to make sure that we give a great fight on Saturday. I’m very ready for this. I’m taking this very seriously for this fight on Saturday.”
 
Jesse Rodriguez
 
“I’ve been ready since I was 19 or 20. I was waiting for the opportunity. End it once came for this fight but it fell through. And I believe everything happens for a reason. I’m gonna keep working and keep getting my wings up. And you know the type of shot will come.
 
“Tune in Saturday night I’m going to show you an explicit performance, your original Bam Rodriguez performance. Don’t miss it.”
 
Brock Jarvis
 
“Me and Jeff, we work really hard. I am very grateful for the opportunity to be on such an amazing show and to be here with Mikey Garcia who’s one of the all-time greats. It’s an amazing privilege and I’ve been working real hard to go to work. 
 
 
“We’ve been working out of the gym in Vegas, and I’ve been working with the guys there. Great group of guys and they’ve been helping me out. I’m very thankful for that and it’s gotten me ready.
 
“It’s one step at a time for me and I think I’ve got a tough fight on Saturday night. I prepared for a hard 10 rounds and that’s what I’m expecting. So, we’re ready for that.”
 
Khalil Coe
 
“I’m just looking to build up for the next fight. And get better and I’m here with a teammate and a friend
 
“The outcome was bigger than I expected. Once I thought I didn’t know people would remember my name. I had my own section but there were a lot of other people that I didn’t know that came to support me. And it felt amazing.
 
“I’m here to make a statement on Saturday you know so they can recognize and see I’m coming.”
 
Nikita Ababiy
 
“I feel amazing. I feel like I’ve never left and I’m back. I have to take care of some little things, mental stuff, family stuff and all that.
 
“When you’re in the boxing game you have to eat sleep and breathe only boxing. I had to take care of a couple things but now I’m back and I’m only breathing boxing.
 
“At the beginning I feel like I was living in the moment I wasn’t really understanding that I was fighting in Madison Square Garden, at The O2 and Staples Center. And then it kind of hit me. Now I feel like I’m returning. I’m 22 now. I have a better grasp.
 
“You know you move quick when you’re with a great promoter like yourself. I guess you could say we’re not prospects anymore. Since the fight on Saturday, get out in December and then it’s going to be interesting.
 
Diego Pacheco
 
“Like you said I’m still very young, but I am moving pretty fast in the sport. I feel like I’m moving at the right pace. Every chance that’s been put in front of me I’ve been able to take care of. And I look forward to keeping doing the same thing that I’ve been doing.
 
“I’m from LA so I’ve been very blessed to work with two world champions down there. Canelo and Benavidez and a lot of other guys that I’ve taught me things in the gym. I’m really thankful for that and I’m happy with how my careers been going so far.”

Emanauel Navarrete earned his 2nd title defense of the WBO Featherweight title over Joet Gonzalez at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California.

In round two, Gonzalez began to swell under his right eye. In round three, a cut formed under that eye from a Navarrete left hook. Gonzalez showed an extreme toughness as the swelling and cut got worse in each round, but that did nor deter him as he agressiveness made Navarrete begin to turn up his customery volume punching.

Over the 2nd half of the fight, Navarrete started taking control, but when the cut from Gonzalez seemed to worsen, he came back to land hard shots that would push Gonzalez back. In the end, the sheer volume was the difference for Gonzalez by scores of 118-110 and 116-112 twice.

“Without a doubt, I hurt him, but every single time he came back, and he also hurt me. A couple shots he landed hurt me during the fight,” Navarrete said. “It has been an exciting ride so far, and from now on, I want the bigger fights.”

Gonzalez said, “I thought I had it seven rounds to five, eight rounds to four. I was really surprised by that score of 118-110, I believe. But it is what it is, and I did my best.”

The fight will be part of Trillerverz III and can be seen live on FITE.TV and Trillerfightclub.com at 6 PM ET

Najmitdinov, who is promoted by Banner Promotions and Uprising Promotions, has a record of 17-1 with 14 knockouts. The 31 year-old from Tashkent, Uzbekistan is riding a seven bout winning streak (for which the last five have come by way of stoppage) since his only career blemish when he dropped a controversial decision to former world champion Viktor Postol in Postol’s home country of Ukraine.

That bout, which took place on September 16, 2017, saw Jamshidbek drop Postol three times but was denied two of those knockdowns, due to Postol fighting in front of his home-country fans. Jamshidbek pushed the action and established himself as one of the top-140 pounders in the world. Since that fight, Jamshidebek has won five in a row, which includes his last bout when he won the WBC CIS and Slovac titles with a 1st round stoppage over Giorgi Khutsishvili on October 6th in Uzbekistan.

“I am very excited. I have been waiting for this opportunity to fight in America for a long time. I will show my best ability. I really do not know anything about Madera. I just want to fight anyone. I am not here to take easy fights. This is very exciting to fight in New York. It motivates me to show my best. I feel very confident, and I believe that I will win on five or six rounds,” said Najmitdnov

“We are looking forward to Jamshidbek’s debut here in the United States,” Banner Promotions President Arie Pelullo. “Because of everything going on in the world, this would have happened sooner. We expect a big performance out of him and we envision him in being in big fights in the near future.”

Najmitdinov is a former WBC CIS and Slovak Boxing Bureau Welterweight champion, and is coming off a 5th round stoppage over Merab Turkadze on June 11th in Tashkent.

Najmitfonov weighed 139.8 lbs. Madera was 139.4.

UFC FIGHT NIGHT^®: COSTA vs. VETTORI will take place Saturday, October 23 from UFC APEX in Las Vegas. All bouts will stream on ESPN+, with the prelims beginning at a special start time of 10 a.m. PT/ 1 p.m. ET and the main card at 1 p.m. PT/ 4 p.m. ET.

Knockout artist Costa (13-1, fighting out of Contagem, Minas Gerais, Brazil) steps back into the Octagon for the first time since challenging for the middleweight title in 2020. A ferocious finisher who has earned stoppages in 12 of his 13 wins, Costa rose to the top of the division with victories over Yoel Romero, Uriah Hall and Johny Hendricks. He now looks to make a statement and defend his spot in the rankings by becoming the first person to stop Vettori.   

Vettori (17-5-1, fighting out of Mezzocorona, Italy) intends to bounce back from his UFC championship opportunity earlier this year with a vintage performance. During his run to title contention, Vettori proved himself to be one of the toughest matchups in the division with wins over Jack Hermansson, Kevin Holland and Karl Roberson. He now aims to secure the biggest victory of his career by dominating Costa to secure another shot at UFC gold.

Dana White’s Contender Series signee Grant (17-1, fighting out of Lee’s Summit, Mo.) seeks to extend his UFC win streak to six with another dominant performance. A powerful grappler, he has finished an impressive 15 of his 17 wins, including stoppages over Michael Trizano, Darrick Minner and Leonardo Santos. Dawson now has his sights set on breaking into the rankings by becoming the first person to finish Glenn in the UFC.

Glenn (22-6-1, fighting out of Sacramento, Calif.) looks to make the most of his first UFC co-main event opportunity. Having recently returned to the Octagon after a three-year layoff, he made waves with his spectacular 37-second KO of Joaquim Silva in June. Glenn now intends to make it two in a row by taking out Dawson and beginning his climb up the lightweight ladder.

The next chapter in the incredible story of a would-be fighter who has captured the professional boxing world’s attention will unfold this Sunday, October 17, in Lagos, Nigeria, as, with some help from World Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury and UK-based CBD manufacturers Brains Bioceutical, 20-year-old Chibuike ‘Africa Fury’ Ogbuaguairy, the real-life boxing fairytale, will make his long-awaited professional debut.

Africa Fury, who started gaining prominence a couple years ago by posting viral videos that depict him training alongside other fistic hopefuls at a less-than-ideal outdoor gym on an unpaved city street in Lagos, will face Nigerian countryman Gbenga Samson in a heavyweight four-rounder at the Beats and Bites Palace Hotel.

It’s just the latest chapter in an incredible story that begins with a teenaged Ogbuaguairy being invited by a friend to train at the “boxing gym” and instantly falling in love with the sport. Soon after, as a way to maintain motivation in a challenging environment, Ogbuaguairy began posting his training experiences to his Instagram. They quickly caught the attention of Tyson Fury, currently the undefeated lineal and WBC Heavyweight King, who reached out to the young hopeful with, first, advice and messages of encouragement and then a large quantity of training equipment and ‘The Gypsy King’ official apparel for the entire gym.

“I feel like I’m blessed,” said an excited Ogbuaguairy. “It has meant a lot. Every time I wake up and I don’t want to train, I still do train because people are waiting for me to do well in boxing. I’m grateful for that.”

Frequent supporters and sponsors of boxing around the world, Brains Bioceutical a global leader in plant-based pharmaceutical, wellness, and veterinary cannabidiol (CBD) active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), also got onboard the Africa Fury train quite early in his development and made a commitment to help.

Brains Bioceutical Corp., CEO & Chairman Ricky Brar says thrilled to be part of helping the young African slugger reach his dreams.

“Brains is very proud to be assisting this young man,” said Brar. “I’ve always admired those bold enough to go for their dreams, no matter how unlikely or difficult. Africa Fury is a testament to those who strive for what they want and we are delighted to be part of his journey. Its’ a feel-good story all around.”

Calling his jab his best punch that he uses to set everything else up, the 6’ 4” and 240-lb Ogbuaguairy says his pro debut is just the start of the story.

“I want to be a world champion,” added Ogbuaguairy. “It’s my dream. It’ll take a lot of hard work to get there, so I’ll make a lot of sacrifices and stay ready for what’s coming. This is a great honor and I’m very grateful for everything everyone has done for me. They believe I will be world champion and they see something in me. I’m getting better and ready to get in the game and start my career. I really appreciate their support and I hope to make them proud.”

The Brains Bioceutical team say they are hoping to bring Africa Fury to North America soon to train at their state-of-the-art indoor training facility.

(Oct. 14, 2021) — Mexico’s young general hopes to make it 20 for 20 in his toughest test to date. David “El General” Cuellar (19-0, 12 KOs) will make the first defense of his WBC Youth Silver 115-pound title in a 10-round main event against former world champion Moises Fuentes this Saturday, Oct. 16 at Oasis Arena in Cancun, Mexico.
 
Cuellar-Fuentes headlines a bill streaming live and exclusively in the United States on ESPN+ starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
 
Cuellar turned pro as a 16-year-old in July 2017 and soon established himself as one of Mexico’s top prospects. He has won four straight bouts by knockout, most recently stopping the previously unbeaten Karim Arce in the ninth round of an action thriller. Fuentes (25-6-1, 14 KOs) is coming off a three-year layoff, but he has extensive experience against the world’s elite. He was the WBO 105-pound champion from 2011-2013, notched a fifth-round knockout over Puerto Rican legend Ivan Calderon, and won an interim world title at 108 pounds. In his last fight, he was stopped in five rounds by pound-for-pound legend Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez.

October 14,, 2021, Panama City, Panama — Luis Rodriguez, (5-0, 5 KOs) from Toa Alta, Puerto Rico, coming off his 5th consecutive knockout win in five professional fights, fights Friday October 15, at Arena Roberto Duran in Panama City, Panama.

“Friday night will be Luis’ sixth fight in four months,” said Gonzalez. “Our pedal to the metal philosophy continues and we plan to fight two more times in November. One of the scenarios we have in mind is having Luis showcased on ESPN Latino or ESPN in November. More importantly we would absolutely love and embrace Luis fighting in NYC at Madison Square Garden in December, before bringing him back home to Puerto Rico where ideally he would fight for a regional belt before his home crowd.”

Luis’ bout is scheduled for 6 rounds and will be fighting in eight-rounders shortly thereafter. “We are looking to get him in the ring with higher quality opponents each fight and a regional title fight before long.”
