PHILADELPHIA, PA /Ontario, CA (May 19, 2022) – Junior welterweight Michael Dutchover (15-2, 10 KOs) will take part in The Last Chance Tournament when he battles veteran Clarence Booth (21-4, 13 KOs) in a scheduled 8-round bout on Friday night in Plant City, Florida. Dutchover of Midland, Texas is promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing. The fight will be streamed on the Probox TV App.

“It will be great to get under the bright lights again, I miss that feeling,” said the 24-year-old Dutchover. “We are taking this one fight at a time, and we have Booth in front of us on Friday.”

On Booth, “He has good fights under his belt and he has been in with some good contenders. I have studied some film on him, and I am looking forward to imposing my will on him. I am ready to go.”

Dutchover is coming off a disappointing loss to Nahir Albright on September 14, 2021, and now looks to get back on the right course to major fights.

“I have never taken the easy route, my last fight was a learning experience,” continued Dutchover, “When you get knocked down, the key is how you get back up. This is a great opportunity for me to show how much I have improved from my last outing. I feel that I am the guy to beat. Whoever is the last man standing has a chance to rejuvenate their career and get bigger opportunities. My losses have taught me to be more composed and learning from my mistakes has made me a better fighter. I’ve had a great camp and my weight is on point. I want to thank everyone who has supported me and stuck by my side. I’m looking forward to a big performance on Friday night.”

“It is a great opportunity for the winner of the tournament, for which we believe it will be Michael Dutchover to advance his career and compete in big fights,” said Artie Pelullo, President of Banner Promotions.

“We know Dutchover has what it takes to get back on track toward his winning ways,” said Alex Camponovo, Thompson Boxing’s general manager. “Winning this tournament will be a tremendous accomplishment and we are behind him one hundred percent.”

Dutchover weighed 139.8 lbs. Booth was 138.8

LAS VEGAS (May 19, 2022) – Newly crowned North American Boxing Association (NABA) Super Flyweight Champion John “Scrappy” Ramirez (10-0, 8 KOs) made a major statement last Saturday night in the DAZN’s opening bout on the Zurdo Ramirez-Dominic Boesel card, presented by Golden Boy Promotions in Association with Zurdo Promotions, live from Toyota Arena in Ontario, California.

Ramirez’ statement was, “I’m here to takeover!”

The 25-year-old Ramirez, fighting out of nearby East Los Angeles, patiently set up his Mexican opponent, Jan Salvatierra, until exploding midway through the opening round when he landed a powerful right hook that wobbled Salvatierra. Ramirez showed poise beyond his years, blinding Salvatierra with a jab and following with a straight right that landed on the button, which not only dropped his 8-1 foe, but knocked him right out of the ring in an instant Knockout of the Year candidate at 2:25 of round one.

“When you land a shot like that,” Ramirez explained, “you can feel everything. I knew it was a money shot. I was certain the fight was over right after the right hook because he pulled back. Going into the fight, I knew we were on whole different levels. He’s a good fighter who I wanted to fight on the great opportunity on DAZN.

“It feels good to win my first title belt, but I wasn’t surprised. All I needed to do was be patient, stay focused, and have faith. Winning the title was my main focus. I’m ready to fight anybody with a belt at 115 pounds. I’m her to takeover and prove I’m the best. I’m happy that people all over the world saw me fight, but it wasn’t overnight like some said. I’ve been working hard for the past five years.”

Ramirez is an LA inner-city sports legend whose journey started on the gridiron, not in a ring, when he was a key member of the Lincoln High football team, profiled in a 2015 documentary, “ESPN 60: Letterman.” The players were from a crime-ridden section of Hollywood riddled with drugs and guns. Ramirez was a 5’ 4”, 160-pound running back on a team that, starting in Pop Warner competition, advanced to Lincoln High, which hadn’t experienced any degree success in football. Lincoln High went on to become a 3-time league champion, highlighted by its semifinal playoff appearance in his senior year, which eventually led “Scrappy” to a roster spot on the Los Angeles Valley College’s football team.

“Scrappy” has been moved on the fast track by 3 Point Management (3 PM) having fought 10 times in less than 1 ½ years. And he wants to get back in the ring as soon as possible.

“I’m ready to go,” he concluded. “I’m looking to get all the world title belts and be part of some cool things.”

Banner night for 3 PM

Ramirez was one of four 3 PM stablemates to have their hands raised in victory Saturday night on the same card. Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (44-0, 30 KOs), no relations to “Scrappy” but his mentor and friend, outclassed Dominic Boesel from the opening bell, stopping him in round four of their WBA Light Heavyweight World Eliminator. “Zurdo” is the official mandatory challenger for WBA Super Light Heavyweight Champion Dmitry Bivol , recent winner against Saul “Canelo” Alvarez.

The other two 3 PM winners were light heavyweight Kareem Hackett (10-0, 5 KOs) and lightweight Carlos Nava (8-0, 5 KOs). Hackett won a 6-round unanimous decision over Joshue Obando, while Nava knocked out Yampier Hernandez in the sixth round.

Orlando, FL (May 18, 2022) – A plethora of talented young prospects will be featured Saturday, May 21 at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, FL as part of the Bally Sports Presents: Entrobox Championship Boxing undercard.

Lightweight Sean “Untouchable” Mason risks his perfect record against Carlos Matos-Ramirez of Puerto Rico in a six rounder. Fighting out of nearby Altamonte Springs, FL, Mason’s 8-0 with 6 wins by KO. On March 26, Mason entertained his large group of supporters by knocking out Omar Garcia inside of two rounds.

Joseph “Blessed Hands” Adorno (14-1-2, 12 KO’s) of Allentown, PA faces Denver, CO based veteran Juan Santiago (16-18-2, 9 KO’s) in an eight round lightweight contest. Adorno took a serious step up in competition his last two bouts, facing a pair of the 135 pound division’s top up and coming fighters. Adorno scored two knockdowns against Jamaine Ortiz but the fight was ruled a draw and in his most recent bout, he lost a close decision to Michel Rivera.

A 14 year pro, Santiago’s battled the likes of former undisputed lightweight champion Juan Diaz, Marvin Quintero, Vernon Paris, Eloy Perez, Diego Magdaleno and Felix Verdejo among others.

Junior middleweight and hometown favorite Derrick “Diesel” Jackson risks his 7-0 record when he faces once-beaten Jesus Cruz Silva (6-1, 1 KO) in a six round affair.

A Silver Medalist in both the 2018 Youth National Championships and 2018 Junior Olympics, Jackson outpointed Christopher Hatley at the Caribe Royale in February. Fighting out of Monterrey, Mexico, Cruz Silva upset Raul Guerrero Cepeda (6-0) via unanimous decision and is expected to give Jackson a tough test.

2020 Dominican Olympian Alexy De la Cruz (1-0, 1 KO) meets Ralph Carvil in a four round lightweight contest. Born and raised in Hato Mayor del Rey, Dominican Republic, De la Cruz won his first match at the Olympics before coming up short against Albert Batyrgaziev, who went on to win gold.

Middleweight Jamar Pemberton of St. Louis, MO makes his pro debut against 19 fight veteran George Sheppard in a four round contest. Pemberton was rated as a top five fighter by USA Boxing during the last seven years of his amateur career and won a silver medal at the 2021 US Boxing Championship.

Redlands, CA’s Elijah “2 Tec” Flores looks to go 3-0 when he meets Kobe Bowen in a welterweight contest scheduled for four rounds. The 18-year-old Flores most recently scored a second round knockout of Ashton Royal in March.

“I’m really excited about the young talented fighters we’ve got on this card,” said Promoter Ron Johnson of American Dream Presents.

Mayerlin Rivas will defend her WBA World Super-Bantamweight title against Isis Vargas Perez on Friday June 10 live worldwide on DAZN from Mexico, with the show now taking place at the Domo Alcalde in Guadalajara, in the latest installment of Matchroom and DAZN’s fight series in Mexico, in association with Canelo Promotions and Clase Y Talento.
 
Rivas (16-4-2 10 KOs) makes the first defense of the belt that she landed in her last outing back in February 2020, beating Laura Ledezma in Panama City in February to become a two-weight World ruler at the second attempt. The Venezuelan became Bantamweight champion in June 2015 and made three defenses, winning two and drawing one, and makes a welcome return to action as she looks to start a path to becoming unified and undisputed at 122lbs.
 
Perez (8-5 3 KOs) will have other ideas though, and on home turf, the Mexican aims to become a World champion for the first time at the second attempt. The 24 year old met Yamileth Mercado for the WBC crown in April, and bounces straight back into World title action just two months later.
 
Rivas’ clash with Perez is the second World title fight on the bill, with the night topped by WBA Super and Ring Magazine World Light-Flyweight champion Hiroto Kyoguchi defending his straps against Esteban Bermudez.
 
Jorge Castaneda and Eduardo Hernandez will meet for the WBC International Super-Featherweight title in a huge fight for the division. Texan Castaneda (15-1 11 KOs) enters the bout on the back of two key wins, picking up a majority decision against unbeaten Otha Jones III in Florida in April 2021, and then travelling to London, England to nix another nil by beating Youssef Khoumari in October, again via majority decision.
 
Castaneda enters hostile territory once again to make a first defense of the vacant title he landed in the UK, meeting ‘Rocky’ Hernandez (31-1 28 KOs) in his stomping ground. The 24 year old is on a three-fight KO streak following his sole loss to date in July 2019 to now World champion Roger Gutierrez and sitting at #8 in the WBC, there is plenty at stake in this crunch clash of two powerful 130lbers looking to climb the rankings and breathe down the necks of the top five in the WBC.
 
“Rocky Hernández is a good fighter but he’s in my way of becoming a World champion,” said Castaneda. “On June 10, I’m putting on a spectacular performance and sending a message to the 130lb division.”
 
“This fight will set the difference between being a prospect and showing the world I’m a reality,” said Hernandez. “I’m not losing in my house – this one is for my daughter.”
 
Diego Pacheco (14-0 11 KOs) continues to be a must-watch talent and the 21 year old ticks off another major milestone as he stretches his legs over the ten round distance for the first time against Raul Ortega (10-2 7 KOs).
 
“This is going to be a great night in Mexico, with another World title added and a very important fight in the 130lb division,” said Hearn. “It’s great to have Mayerlin back in action, she’s itching to get back out there and start hunting down the other titles, so she’ll be eager to impress against Rivas.
 
“This clash between Jorge and Rocky is going to be so explosive. Both men carry power that can end any fight in an instant, and that makes this a must-watch battle and an important one for the 130lb division.
 
“Our Mexico shows have delivered huge drama and excitement, and with a spicy main event and a great supporting cast of talented young fighters, the fans will be the winners again on June 10.”
 
A separate announcement on tickets will be made shortly.
 

BOSTON, MA, May 18, 2022 – Fight announcement, Kendrick Ball Jr. vs Angel Camacho Jr.

Worcester’s own Kendrick Ball Jr. (18-1-2, 12 KOs), returns to his hometown on Friday, July 15th, 2022. He will face the undefeated Angel Camacho Jr. (16-0, 5 KOs) of Providence, RI, for the New England Super Middleweight Championship. The bout will headline Rivera Promotions Entertainment’s (RPE) “New England Future 10” boxing event at the Worcester Palladium.

This is the biggest local bout in the past several years and it’s a true New England Championship fight. You have two established fighters, one from Worcester, Massachusetts and the other from Providence, Rhode Island, that are willing to get in the ring to determine who the best in the region is. This fight is about representing their city and state. Three-time, 2-division World Champion, RPE Promoter Jose Antonio Rivera commented, “RPE is excited to have the two top Super Middleweights in New England fighting each other! This is what boxing is all about.”

Kendrick Ball Jr. has been able to stay active fighting five times since the Covid-19 shutdown. His most recent fight was a 5th round TKO victory in April 2022. He will be looking to keep his positive momentum going. This will be the sixth time that Ball enters the ring against an undefeated opponent and he is up for the challenge. Here’s what Kendrick Ball Jr. had to say about the fight, “I’ve been in this position before, it’s just another step for me to climb up the ladder and prove myself again to my fans and the world. I’m thankful for all of the support from Worcester. I’m glad to be back home fighting in front of my city. On July 15th, I’ll be ready for whatever comes my way.”

Angel Camacho Jr.’s last fight was at the Worcester Palladium in 2019. He is no stranger to lengthy layoffs as this will be his fourth time returning to the ring after a multiple year hiatus. Camacho, who is undefeated as a pro, has beat some of the biggest names in New England, including Richard Gingras, Paul Gonsalves, and the late Keith Kozlin. This is what Angel Camacho Jr. had to share about the fight, “I’m excited to be back fighting at the Worcester Palladium, I love my people out there. Life is crazy and I have a lot of responsibilities as a man so unfortunately it got in the way of my activity as a professional fighter, but my body is well oiled and fresh… I’ve always had nothing but love for the Ball family, I’ve rooted for Ken in and out of the ring, and he and his family are great people. Come July 15th this is going to be the biggest and toughest fight of Ken’s career. I know Ken will show up ready to go so expect a rough and tenacious war.”

Waymaker Management’s Founder, Artie DePinho stated, “When we signed Kendrick, he said he wanted to fight the top guys in New England to prove that he is the best. This is his opportunity to show everyone what I know he’s capable of doing. I have a lot of respect for Angel and have known him for over 15 years. He is undefeated for a reason and this is the type of challenge that Kendrick really wants. I’m looking forward to seeing the whole City of Worcester coming out and supporting Kendrick as he makes his statement.”

This matchup is a fight fans dream. RPE Matchmaker AJ Rivera said, “Kendrick has never asked for easy fights. He has taken on tough opposition fighting five undefeated guys, he’s no stranger to always trying to challenge and prove he belongs. Angel is a tough undefeated fighter who brings slick boxing skills to the ring. He’s fought some of New England’s best and won every fight. This fight is truly a New England treat.” You have two popular fighters who are daring to be great. The show will certainly be sold out and the atmosphere on fight night will be electric.

Please purchase tickets directly through Camp Get Right Boxing Gym located at 55 Millbrook Street in Worcester, MA. Or by calling Kendrick Ball Sr. at 508-868-6235. Tickets are priced at $80, $55, and $40.

New York, NY (May 18, 2022)-Split-T Management is pleased to announce the signing of decorated amateur Javier Zamarron to a management contract.

Zamarron, 21 years-old of Milwaukee, Wisconsin will compete in the featherweight division.

“The Split-T team really became aware of Javier at the 2021 Golden Gloves where he was clearly one of the very best prospects. He’s a polished guy with power and intelligence, exactly what we are looking for in a young fighter,” said David McWater of Split-T Management

“I am happy to be part of the team. Split-T Management has a lot of good fighters who have been taken in the right direction and have achieved great things in boxing. Dave McWater has a lot of great connections that have facilitated their fighters forward. Signing with Split-T is the right move for me as I see my career going forward towards being a world champion.”

Zamarron began boxing at the age of eight-years old, when a friend of his father informed Javier and his dad about the United Community Center in Milwaukee. The center has produced many professionals which includes Split-T middleweight prospect Javier Martinez.

Zamarron was a dominant amateur at the regional level that saw him become a six-time Wisconsin State champion, six-time Wisconsin Golden Gloves and six-time Wisconsin Junior Olympic champion.

When Zamarron moved up to the elite class of amateur boxing, the results continued as he won the 2021 United States championship, and was runner-up at 2022 National Golden Gloves.

About his fan-friendly style, Zamarron describes himself as being a boxer-puncher. “I can box all day if I want, but if it turns into a war, I can certainly bang. I consider myself to be a volume puncher who works in combinations.

The southpaw is trained by world-champion trainer Robert Garcia.

Zamarron’s family is from Jalisco, Mexico and he speaks fluent Spanish.

Away from boxing, Zamarron stays active by playing basketball and taking care of his Pitbull named Tarzan.

LOS ANGELES, CA (May 18, 2022) – After a triumphant homecoming in Tijuana, Mexico in February, former world champion and undefeated Mexican super-star, Jaime Munguia (39-0, 31 KOs) will return to Anaheim’s Honda Center on Saturday, June 11 to face off against former world title challenger, Jimmy “Kilrain” Kelly (26-2, 10 KOs) of Manchester, UK. The 12-round super middleweight fight will stream live on DAZN worldwide, excluding Mexico.

“I am very excited to return to Anaheim and fight in front of all the fans against a high-quality English rival like Kelly,” said Jaime Munguia. “It won’t be an easy night, but we are preparing very hard. This new edition of Mexico vs. England will be very exciting for all fight fans, and I am convinced that I will pass this test and be on my way to a world title soon!”

“As a child, I dreamt of fighting in America, that dream came true when I beat the undefeated Kanat Islam,” said Jimmy Kelly. “Munguia is the number one guy at 160lbs.

The WassermanBoxing locomotive shows no sign of slowing, as more numbers aim to be smashed on FridayJune 17 at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool. The undercard has been announced, with more thrilling free-to-air boxing coming to screens next month, live on Channel 5 in association with William Hill, Numan and Infinitum.

It was an impressive debut for Wasserman Boxing on Channel 5, with over one million people tuning in to witness all the action from the Indigo at the O2, headlined by a classic British Middleweight Title clash and fight of the year contender between Linus Udofia and Denzel Bentley.

All eyes now turn to Liverpool and one of Britain’s most exciting Heavyweight prospects as Nathan Gorman takes on Czech champion Tomas Salek in what promises to be another epic night of live, free-to-air boxing.

On the undercard, there is something to get fight fans salivating, as it all goes down in a British Super Flyweight Title Eliminator between ‘The Chosen One’ Marcel Braithwaite (12-3) and Thomas Essomba (11-7-1, 4 KOs).

Braithwaite will have the opportunity to earn his ticket to a British Super Flyweight Title shot in front of his home support, as the local lad looks to steal the limelight in Liverpool. He will be full of confidence coming off the back of a win in his last outing, securing the WBC International Silver Super Flyweight Title and now setting his sights on another belt for the mantelpiece.

The party atmosphere could be quickly silenced by a very experienced Essomba, hungry to show that the tweaks made in and out of the ring will be enough to convert his dreams into reality.

A homecoming for Merseyside’s Marcus Molloy (4-0, 1 KO), who will be looking to keep his ‘0’ as the 23-year-old continues to build on his reputation as a Super Featherweight star in the making.

MELBOURNE, Australia (May 17, 2022) — Yoel Angeloni, one of the most sought-after amateur boxers in the world, has signed with DiBella Entertainment.  DBE will present Angeloni’s professional debut on the undercard of the George Kambosos – Devin Haney Undisputed Lightweight Championship super fight, scheduled for Saturday, June 4, at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia.  Melbourne boasts one of the largest Italian communities outside of Italy.Angeloni will debut in a four-round welterweight bout against Ken Aitken (3-0, 1 KO), from Queensland, Australia, who has yet to see even one scorecard go against him.

Kambosos vs. Haney, along with Jason Moloney vs. Aston Palicte, Junior Fa vs. Lucas Browne, and Hemi Ahio vs. Joe Jones will be televised LIVE on ESPN, ESPN Deportes and ESPN+ Saturday, June 4, at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.  Angeloni-Aitken and all other undercard contests will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+

Angeloni, 18, is literally an international sensation who boasts an impressive amateur boxing pedigree.  Born in Rome, Italy, to an Italian father (Alessandro Angeloni) and a Cuban mother (Olga Lidia Lara), Angeloni was three years old when he moved to southern Cuba with his mother, living in the city of Cienfuegos, one of the country’s chief ports.  Situated on Cuba’s largest natural bay and open to the sea, the bay was visited by Christopher Columbus in 1494.  So it should come as no surprise that this was where a six-year-old Angeloni first discovered the national sport of boxing.  Over the years, Angeloni developed his craft, earning a place on the prestigious Cuban National Youth Boxing team, where he fashioned a sterling 130-2 record.  When he turned 15, he returned to his native Italy, where he was quickly accepted by the Italian Boxing Federation.  Fighting under the Italian colors, Angeloni won all 10 of his fights, and captured gold medals at the 2019 Junior European Championships and the 2021 Emil Jechev Memorial International Youth Boxing Tournament.

“Yoel is a legitimate blue-chip prospect, which is one of the reasons I chose the Kambosos-Haney undercard to launch his professional career,” said Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment.  “Despite campaigning almost exclusively as a junior, Yoel’s talent is extraordinary for his age, and he’s been heavily recruited throughout the industry.  I couldn’t pass on an Italian Cuban prodigy with his natural ability.  In addition to introducing Yoel to Melbourne’s prodigious Italian community, fighting June 4 at Marvel Stadium will allow him to realize his recurring dream of making his pro debut on a huge show, before his nineteenth birthday on June 11.  Who am I to deny destiny?  In my career, I’ve seen very few teenage fighters as gifted as Yoel.  Everyone at DiBella Entertainment is proud that Yoel chose us.” 

“I am very happy to be signed with DiBella Entertainment.  They are giving me an opportunity to showcase my skills on ESPN+ for my pro debut and on one of the biggest boxing events of the year.  I am so excited to be making my professional debut in Melbourne which has a very large Italian population,” said Angeloni.  “I want to thank my advisor and manager, Alonzo Benezra, for believing in me from the moment we met and by turning my dreams into reality.  Winning the gold medal at the 2019 Junior European World Championship was a very proud moment for me, my parents, my family, and many of my supporters who have followed me during my amateur career.  I also want to thank the Italian amateur federation and the Cuban amateur federation.  But now it’s time to realize my dream of becoming a world champion.”

“I want to say, thank you, to Lou DiBella for giving us the opportunity to be part of this historic event in Australia, where the first undisputed lightweight champion of the four-belt era will be crowned,” said Alonzo Benezra, advisor and manager to Angeloni.  “Also, thank you to Top Rank and ESPN for this huge boxing platform that will allow Yoel Angeloni to showcase his skills and great talent.  Ever since I met Yoel, I knew he was a special young man that was very talented and marketable.  At the same time, it’s also been a real challenging experience, working day and night, to get him where he needed to be at such a young age, to start his journey toward becoming a world champion.  I also want to thank Kris Lopez, the new trainer of Angeloni, from Lightning’s Boxing Club in Oakland, California, for setting up this training camp for Yoel’s highly anticipated pro debut.”

(May 17, 2022) — WBA/IBF bantamweight world champion Naoya “Monster” Inoue is 17-0 in world title fights and only once has been pushed to the brink.

WBC bantamweight world champion Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire, the four-weight kingpin whose late-career renaissance cemented his status as one of boxing’s greatest lighter weight champions, has one more shot to stun the Japanese pound-for-pound icon.

Inoue and Donaire will meet in a title unification rematch Tuesday, June 7, at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. Inoue and Donaire first fought in November 2019 at Saitama Super Arena, with Inoue overcoming a broken orbital bone and nose to win a unanimous decision in the consensus Fight of the Year.

Inoue-Donaire 2 and undercard bouts will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+ starting at 5 a.m. ET/2 a.m. PT.

“Naoya Inoue and Nonito Donaire’s first fight is among the greatest championship battles I’ve ever seen, and I am thrilled that American fight fans can watch the rematch on ESPN+,” said Top Rank chairman Bob Arum.

Inoue (22-0, 19 KOs), a three-weight world champion, won the WBC light flyweight title in April 2014 and ascended to pound-for-pound prominence with dominant runs at junior bantamweight and bantamweight. At one point, Inoue had a championship streak of seven consecutive knockouts against fighters who had never been stopped before. He joined the bantamweight ranks in May 2018 with a devastating first-round stoppage over Jamie McDonnell. One year later, he knocked out Emmanuel Rodriguez in two rounds to win the IBF world title. Since unifying the IBF and WBA belts versus Donaire, Inoue has knocked out Jason Moloney, Michael Dasmariñas, and Aran Dipaen.

Donaire (42-6, 28 KOs), a 39-year-old future Hall of Famer who won his first world title at flyweight in 2007, has experienced a career rebirth since moving down from featherweight following a decision defeat to Carl Frampton in 2018. He earned stoppage wins over Ryan Burnett and Stephon Young in his first two bantamweight contests before stepping up to face Inoue. Donaire before showed no ill effects from the 12-round shootout with Inoue, returning last May to upset Nordine Oubaali via fourth-round stoppage to win the WBC title. Donaire then defended that strap in December with a fourth-round knockout over the previously undefeated Reymart Gaballo.

In other streaming action on ESPN+:

• Takuma Inoue (15-1, 3 KOs), the younger brother of Naoya and a former bantamweight world title challenger, will defend his WBO Asia Pacific junior featherweight strap in a 12-rounder versus Gakuya Furuhashi (28-8-2, 16 KOs). Inoue has won two straight since a decision loss to Nordine Oubaali for the WBC bantamweight world title, while Furuhashi is unbeaten in 11 fights dating back to 2016.
   
• Rising junior welterweight star Andy Hiraoka (19-0, 14 KOs) will defend his Japanese title against Shun Akaiwa (7-3-1, 5 KOs) in a 10-rounder. Hiraoka has won five straight by knockout, including two stoppages on Top Rank on ESPN undercards.

After piling up an 85-5 amateur record, Núñez (16-0, 12 KOs) turned pro in 2018 and racked up knockouts in eight of his first nine outings. Fighting out of Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, Núñez made his U.S. debut in September 2021 by winning a unanimous decision over the previously unbeaten Jayvon Garnett on SHOBOX: The New Generation®. The 22-year-old followed up that performance by taking down another undefeated fighter, as he stopped Carlos Arrieta in the 10th round of their January showdown, also on SHOBOX®.

“Not many fighters get the opportunities that have been given to me,” said Núñez. “I feel blessed and grateful to be in this position. It was a great honor to fight on SHOWTIME in my last fight and I’m thankful to my whole team for being put on this platform. I’m going to make the most of this chance that I have. The best is yet to come!”

The 18-year-old Fierro (13-0, 12 KOs) made his U.S. debut in Arizona last November, as he stopped Victor Ruiz in the first round. A native of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, Fierro most recently knocked out the previously unbeaten Daniel Bailey in March. A pro since late 2019, Fierro scored knockouts in his first seven fights before winning an eight-round unanimous decision in April 2021.

“First of all I want to thank everyone that has made this great opportunity possible for me,” said Fierro. “This is a dream come true and I can’t wait to get in the ring. I am training extremely hard to be at my best and show everyone what I’m capable of. Luis Núñez is a great fighter, but come May 21, he will know what it is to fight a true Mexican style warrior.”

POMONA, CA (May 17, 2022) – Unbeaten rising star, lightweight Ernesto “Tito” Mercado (6-0, 6 KOs), remained undefeated as he stopped Jose Zaragoza (8-5-1, 2 KOs), last Thursday, May 12th, on a card promoted by Tom Loeffler’s 360 Promotions. The bout was shown live on UFC Fight Pass, and took place at The Quiet Cannon Country Club in Montebello, Ca.

Mercado dropped Zaragoza in the first round as it was clear he was the vastly superior fighter. Mercado’s blinding hand speed along with his one-punch power was on full display in this fight, as he finished Zaragoza off at the 1:07 mark of round two.

“Jose Zaragoza just fought Keyshawn Davis, and I wanted to show the world just how good I am, and why boxing writers should consider me for prospect of the year,” said Mercado, who stands 5’10. “I dropped him in the first round and got him out of there in the second. I felt I could have stopped him earlier but the referee let him survive. I’m putting everyone on notice, including Keyshawn Davis and all the other top prospects and champions, that I’m cementing my place in the lightweight division. I’m coming for everybody.”

Mercado was a decorated amateur with an impressive 280-11 record. In the pro ranks, he’s quickly becoming one of the most feared power punchers in boxing.

“I just want to move into title contention and these fights are needed to get my record up, but I want to fight the champions, the fighters people say are the best,” continued Mercado, who has knocked out all six of his opponents within the first two rounds. “I am becoming the most feared fighter in boxing and there is nothing any of these other fighters can do about it. By the end of the year I’ll be advancing from power punching prospect of the year to a serious contender in the lightweight division.”

Jermell Charlo became the undisputed super welterweight champion with an 10th round stoppage in an action packed rematch with Brian Castano at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.

The fight was contested at a fast pace. It picked up from their July 17, 2021 draw. Charlo was very sharp by landing some good shots with both hands. Castano landed some good right hands of his own, but Charlo who did not lay on the ropes like he did in first encounter, was able to land some solid counter shots. The fight was fought on even terms over the opening half of the fight.

Charlo started the second half of the fight by beating Castano to the punch and started to forge ahead in the fight. In round ten, Charlo dropped Castano with a quick left hook to the body. Castano was hurt, and Charlo saw that. He jumped on Castano and landed a big left hook to the side that sent Castano down for a second time.

“This is legacy,” Charlo said in the ring afterward. “This is something that is legendary. I’m a legend. I knew Castaño was going to give it his all. I knew I had trained very, very hard but you all can see that I came in at 152 pounds because I was really in shape, and I wanted to make sure that this was my fight.”

“We showed that we are warriors,” Castaño said. “We both were fighting back-and-forth. He’s a champion. He hit me. He got me. But I’m okay.”

“I don’t care about being late,” Charlo said. “I don’t care about who’s early. I knew once I got to this arena, and I’m fighting outside in this beautiful place, I had to get it on.”

“I listened to my corner this time,” he said. “I got in my bag around the seventh round. I started sitting down a little bit more instead of boxing so much and moving around. I saw that he was wearing down a little bit and I was breaking him down. I just saw my punches being more effective. I get stronger in the later rounds if they didn’t know.”

Jaron Ennis Knocks Out Clayton in 2

Jaron Ennis took a giant step closer to a world title shot by stopping previously undefeated Custio Clayton in round two of their 12-round welterweight bout.

Ennis, 146.25 lbs of Philadelphia is now 29-0 with 27 knockouts. Clayton, 146.5 lbs of Darmouth, NS, CAN is 19-1-1.

“Anybody can get it right now,” Ennis said. “But I’m the IBF No. 1 contender and I think ‘Mr. Big Fish’ is here himself, so it’s time to go fishing,” he said referencing Spence’s nickname.

“He’s doing what he’s supposed to do,” Spence told Jim Gray of SHOWTIME. “He’s supposed to call me and everybody out and say I want to fight them. If he wasn’t hungry like that, like the guy he just fought. I don’t feel like he was hungry. I don’t feel like he wanted to fight.

“Ennis can fight,” Spence went on. “I’m very high on him. He’s got the right attitude. He’s got the right team behind him with him and his dad. He’s going to go a long way. But I heard him say he wants to reel me in. You might catch something you don’t want so don’t try too hard trying to reel me in.”

“He had a high guard, so I was trying to come around with the right hook,” Ennis said. “He leaned down and I just threw an overhand. I thought he was going to get up. He’s a durable, tough guy. Nobody has ever stopped him. I thought he was going to get up, but I saw he fell again, so I was like, ‘this is over.’”

I was expecting his best; we were expecting heavy shots. I trained way too hard for this position, and no one will take it from me. I used my distance more, and I attacked the body more. I know my last fight was tough, but I was really prepared for this one. I ate more tacos for this fight. I feel this is my natural weight. Everyone knows I want Bivol. He needs to stop running and sign the contract. I’m coming for you and that belt. I deserve that fight. I think I can beat him since I’m bigger, stronger, and smarter.”

“I thought I would hit him more with my jab,” said Domonic Boesel. “I came confidently to this fight. He got me in the liver with the first punch. I couldn’t do much when I got hit with the body shot.”
