White Plains, New York (August 23, 2022) — Star Boxing is pleased to announce that it has signed IVAN “EL TERRIBLE” REDKACH (Los Angeles, CA, 26-6-1 18KO’s) to an exclusive promotional agreement. Dyed hair in a litany of colors, a half bodied tribal tattoo and charismatic personality inside and outside of the ring is the algorithm that makes Ukraine born Ivan Redkach an exciting signing. Redkach will be campaigning at 135 lbs moving forward. 

Born in the Sumy region of Ukraine, in a town called Shostka, Redkach fulfilled his dream of attending the Brovarsky Sports Boarding School in Kyiv where champions such as Wladimir Klitschko, Sergey Dzinziruk, and Yuiry Nuzhnenko were developed. At the age of 12, Redkach was accepted to the school, but his mother was not keen on him attending school 280 miles away from home at such a young age. Ultimately, his father made the decision to allow Ivan to attend the famed Brovarsky School.

As an amateur Redkach had over 300 amateur fights and fought some of the best Ukraine based amateur fighters in the world. He won the Ukraine national title during this time. Finally, after a questionable decision that went against Redkach in the finals of a Ukraine National Championship tournament, he decided it was time to turn pro and leave the unpredictability of amateur boxing scoring behind. 

With $300 in his pocket, and a dream, a 23-year-old Redkach left for the United States with the hopes of making a name for himself as a professional boxer.  “For me, half a year was for survival.” said Redkach.  “They beat me, they broke me in the ring, my whole face was blue. They beat me anywhere – on my legs, on my arms, below the waist. I came home, went to bed, and thought, what was I doing so far from home.  I almost forgot why I wanted to be in pro boxing, but I didn’t give up.  I came because I made a promise to my family: mom, dad, daughter that I would bring the champion title home.”

As professional Ivan was given the name “El Terrible” for his tenacious style in the ring. In 2014 Ivan would win his first belt when he defeated Tony Luis by unanimous decision for the IBF USBA Lightweight Title. Redkach would go on to face some of boxing’s best, including former world champions and world title challengers, Tevin Farmer, Argenis Mendez, John Molina Jr., Danny Garcia, and Regis Prograis. 

Redkach is excited to get back in the ring, “For some reason my career froze for a year. I have had a good rest and I did not sit still waiting for my time. I trained hard for a year, being told there is a fight, then there would be no fight.” Redkach continued, “Boxing is my job, it is my life. I have been in boxing since I am 6 years old, and I have come a good way. I have the experience. There have been ups and downs, but I will be back in the ring soon and you will see my desire to win. I am very grateful to Star Boxing and Joe DeGuardia to further my career. Together we will become world champion.”

“We are excited to have a fighter like Ivan Redkach join the Star Boxing stable,” said Star Boxing CEO JOE DEGUARDIA. “Ivan has made a name for himself against top tier opponents, and we believe Ivan will have success now campaigning at 135 lbs. We look forward to bringing him the biggest and best opportunities available in his quest to become a world champion.”

Orlando, FL (August 22, 2022) – Kenneth Sims Jr. captured the WBA Intercontinental junior welterweight championship with a dominant fifth round stoppage of Cristian Mino Sunday, August 21 at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, FL.

Headlining EntroBox: Championship Boxing presented by Bally Sports Network and the Bally App, Sims Jr. showed he was the superior boxer from the opening bell.

The Chicago native enjoyed a significant height and reach advantage, peppering Mino with well-placed shots. The game Mino tried to close the gap and apply pressure but was dropped with a perfectly timed body shot. Mino was visibly hurt but made it back to his feet as the bell sounded to end the round.

Sensing his opponent was still hurt from the previous stanza, Sims Jr. dropped Mino again with a body shot before ending Mino’s night by scoring another knockdown via a left hook to the head.

Time of stoppage was 1:07.

Sims Jr. improved to 18-2-1 with 6 KO’s. Mino, of Buenos Aires Argentina, slips to 22-6-2 (17 KO’s).

Sims Jr. is promoted by GH3 Promotions.

“We’re excited with the action from all the fights tonight for both the fans in the seats and cross the nation,” said Ron Johnson, CEO of EntroBox. “Our main event fighter, Kenny Sims Jr. showed the world with pure talent and precision that he earned the WBA Intercontinental belt. This is another championship fight for EntroBox’s archives as we move forward to showcase talent and champions on our platform.”

Velazquez is now 5-0 with 5 knockouts

In the co-featured bout of the evening, fast rising junior welterweight Orestes Velazquez dismantled Argentina’s Emaliano Garcia in three rounds.

Hailing from Cuba and now fighting out of Miami, FL, the heavy-handed Velazquez decked Garcia in round two and twice more in the third, putting Garcia out of commission at 2:38 of round three.

Velazquez improves to 5-0 (5 KO’s) while Garcia falls to 17-8-1 (13 KO’s).

Kevin Hayler Brown following an impressive pro debut

Welterweight Kevin Hayler Brown looked sensational in his pro debut, stopping former world champion Jose Alfaro in less than two rounds.

One of the world’s top amateur fighters prior to turning pro, Brown is from Cuba but defected in early 2022. Now fighting out of Las Vegas, NV, Brown displayed a high-octane attack that Alfaro was unable to keep up with. In round two, Brown cornered Alfaro and unleashed a powerful combo that sent the former champ down.

Alfaro, who’d taken a ton of clean punches through a round and a half, was unable to continue and Referee Gene Del Bianco stopped the contest at 2:04 of the second.

“We were extremely confident in Kevin coming into this fight,” said Amaury Piedra of Boxlab Promotions. “With his amateur pedigree and boxing skills, we had no issue matching him with somebody like Alfaro, who was a world champion. Orestes was sensational as well and at only 5-0, he’s not far off from facing a top 15-25 junior welterweight.”

Brown and Velazquez are co-promoted by Boxlab Promotions and Warriors Boxing.

Hometown hero Derrick “Diesel” Jackson of Orlando battered late replacement Marklin Bailey in a junior middleweight contest.

Jackson, 9-0 (5 KO’s), was the much stronger fighter and overwhelmed Bailey. Jackson buzzed his Durham, NC based foe in rounds one and two but Bailey showed tremendous heart, never backing down. In round three, Jackson continued to overpower Bailey and dropped him hard with a combination that ended his night at 1:09.

“Derrick looked great and I give a ton of credit to Bailey for coming in as a late replacement,” said Piedra. “He’s now 9-0 and is very mature for a 20-year-old. Derrick’s fully dedicated to the sport and the sky is the limit.”

The card was promoted by Boxlab Promotions in Association with American Dream Presents.

MELBOURNE, Australia (Aug. 22, 2022) — America’s dream maker and Australia’s emperor are primed for a second Down Under showdown to establish ultimate supremacy at 135 pounds.
 
Undisputed lightweight world champion Devin “The Dream” Haney will defend all the belts against Sydney native “Ferocious” George Kambosos Jr. on Saturday, Oct. 15 (Sunday afternoon, Oct. 16 local time), at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia. Haney-Kambosos 2 will be broadcast in prime time in the United States, live on ESPN, ESPN Deportes & ESPN+. 
 
Haney and Kambosos first tangled June 5 in Melbourne as a Victoria-record boxing crowd of 41,129 fans packed Marvel Stadium to watch the world’s best lightweights unify the division. Haney neutralized Kambosos and earned a clear points verdict to become the undisputed champion.
 
Promoted by Top Rank, Devin Haney Promotions, DiBella Entertainment, Ferocious Promotions, Duco Events, and TEG Sport, Haney-Kambosos 2 will feature a world-class undercard, and a pumped up Kambosos hell-bent on revenge. Tickets to this epic rematch will go on-sale on Thursday, Aug. 25, at 10 am AEST via tegsport.com.au.
 
“George Kambosos is quiet right now like he should have been before our first fight. I wish him a healthy training camp,” Haney said. “I’m expecting a hungry and determined Kambosos on October 16th in Melbourne. I will be prepared for any adjustment he brings. This is a great opportunity to gain more Aussie fans and add to my legacy.”
 
“Devin Haney is a special fighter, but you can never count out George Kambosos Jr., especially when his most ardent supporters will be out in full force,” said Top Rank chairman Bob Arum. “These are the two best lightweights in the world, and it will be another memorable event in Melbourne.”
 
Kambosos said, “I am looking forward to October 16th at Rod Laver Arena, and that’s where I will do my talking. Inside the ring.”
 
 “George Kambosos Jr. is again the hungry challenger, chasing Devin Haney’s belts, with a chance to regain it all on home soil,” said Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment. “Kambosos-Haney 1 was the Devin Haney show. George is going to have to fight a completely different fight to get that victory, and he knows it. That alone assures an action-packed rematch. The odds are against George. He needs to defy the odds yet again.”
 
“With almost half of the crowd from the first fight hailing from outside Victoria, we look forward to welcoming boxing fans back to Melbourne to watch what will be an epic rematch, ” said Steve Dimopoulos, Victoria’s Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events. “We’re delivering a spectacular calendar of the biggest and best events – drawing more visitors to Victoria, more often and supporting businesses across the state.”
 
Haney (28-0, 15 KOs) returns to Melbourne intent on repeating his fistic masterclass, a victory that propelled him up the mythical pound-for-pound rankings. “The Dream” has been a history-making phenom since turning professional in Mexico less than one month after his 17th birthday. He made his U.S. debut in Las Vegas on the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley III undercard in April 2016, and at 19, he became the youngest licensed promoter in boxing history. He was awarded the WBC world championship in October 2019 and defended that belt four times before taking the 8,000-plus mile journey to battle Kambosos in his homeland. Haney overcame adversity, as his father/trainer, Bill Haney, was granted a temporary visa by the Australian government less than three days before the fight. Bill Haney arrived in Melbourne the evening before the bout, and the dynamic father-son duo made undisputed magic whilst stripping Kambosos of his three world title belts.
 
Kambosos (20-1, 10 KOs) became the toast of the sport with his decision verdict over Teofimo Lopez last November, which was named ESPN’s Upset of the Year. It was the culmination of a hard-fought journey for Kambosos. He fought in Malaysia, Greece, London, New York City, Connecticut, and Las Vegas as he graduated from prospect to contender. For Kambosos, who had 12 of his first 13 pro fights in Australia, the Haney super fight marked one of the most significant international sporting events to take place in Melbourne. He entered the fight as the slight underdog, but Haney was unfazed by the army of raucous Australian-Greek supporters that shook Marvel Stadium. Haney blunted Kambosos’ offensive arsenal with an educated jab to win going away. Kambosos exercised his rematch clause and is preparing to paint a masterpiece in this undisputed sequel.

LAS VEGAS, NV (August 22, 2022) – Cruiserweight, Robin Safar (15-0, 11 KOs), scored an impressive knockout against Antonio Brown (8-2, 8 KOs), to remain undefeated. The scheduled 6-round bout took place this past Friday, August 19, 2022, at the Commerce Casino in Commerce, California.

Safar, who’s managed by Oliver Cabrera, in association with FightStars, dominated the action from the opening bell. Trained by Ibin Casson, Safar took his instructions wisely as his plan was to attack the body early. Safar ended the bout when he landed a devastating left hook to the body of Brown. Brown was counted out at the 2:00 mark of round one.

Unfortunately, Safar tore his right biceps in this fight. He estimated ring return is undetermined at this time.

“I was feeling great as this fight was happening, but I felt my right biceps pop and it happened midway through the first round, which forced me to start throwing more left hooks to the body,” stated Safar. “I was thrilled that I was able to get him out of there early. Now, I must get the proper care to fix this injury. I’m hoping to be back by early next year.”

“Safar was impressive in this fight considering the circumstances,” said Mike Leanardi, CEO of FightStars. “It was unfortunate that he it looks like he tore his biceps, but I’m still awaiting the final news from the doctor. I know he will work hard to get back in the ring. He’s an extremely talented fighter and this minor bump in the road will only slow us down for the moment.”

Uncasville, CT – Heavyweights Cassius Chaney and Juiseppe Cusumano continued their climb to the top of the division Saturday night at Mohegan Sun Arena with knockout victories in the main and co-main events of Summer Heat, presented by CES Boxing.

The New London, CT, veteran Chaney (22-1, 15 KOs) made quick work of Mathew McKinney in the main event, flooring his opponent three times to score the win at 2:07 of the opening round, while the 6-foot-4 Sicilian Juiseppe Cusumano (21-4, 19 KOs) finished Lynn, MA, native Dennis Ventura at 1:53 of the second round. The event streamed live on BXNG TV, showcasing both top-ranked heavyweights to a worldwide audience.

Body shots were the weapon of choice for both winners. Chaney exposed McKinney’s core early and often, using a devastating right hook to the ribcage to finish the fight. Cusumano was equally effective to the body, blasting Ventura with several unanswered hooks to the midsection before referee Danny Schiavone stopped the fight.

Chaney and Cusumano entered the weekend ranked 11th and 17th, respectively, among United States heavyweights and among the top 75 in the world. As they continue to establish their footing, the “who’s who” list among heavyweights is much clearer following Oleksandr Usky’s second win over Anthony Joshua this past weekend to retain the IBF, IBO, WBO, and WBA Super World Heavyweight titles. The opportunities are endless for both.

POMONA, CA (August 19, 2022) – Undefeated lightweight rising star, Ernesto “Tito” Mercado (6-0, 6 KOs), has an opponent for his August 25th date, as he will square off against Alfredo Rodolfo Blanco (22-10, 11 KOs), from Pigue, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Mercado vs. Blanco, an 8-round co-main event bout, will take place at The Hangar in Costa Mesa, CA, a show promoted by Roy Englebrecht Promotions.

Mercado, who had an astonishing amateur record of 280 (W) -11 (L), is one of the top prospects in boxing. In only his seventh clash as professional, he will be fighting in his first 8-round bout.

“Right now, I feel I’m ready to step up to 8-round bouts,” stated Mercado, who will be walking into the ring with Pomona, CA, rapper, Sugar Free, who hails from theTito’s hometown. “I’m hoping to go some rounds in this fight, but of course if I get my opponent hurt, I’m going for the knockout. I want to send a message to the entire lightweight division, that I’m coming for them all. A lot of big names that are now pros, avoided me in the amateurs, so every time I step in the ring, I’m making a statement.”

Riding a 6-fight knockout steak to start his career, Mercado feels he’s rapidly making a name for himself, especially in the Southern California boxing scene. All of Mercado’s fights have taken place in SoCal, and his explosive knockouts have made him a local fan favorite.

“Our plan from the beginning was to build Tito’s brand in the Southern California market,” said Ernesto Mercado Sr., who is the head trainer for his son. “We’ve been blessed to have had all our fights take place in the Los Angeles area. Right now, we are free agents, which allows us to fight regularly on our terms. Blanco is a durable fighter with a lot of experience, and we hope to continue our path to a world title with another knockout.”

Schofield will be looking to dazzle the crowd yet again after his impressive knockout win over former IBF Junior Bantamweight Champion Rodrigo Guerrero (26-15-2, 16 KOs) on the undercard of Ortiz vs. McKinson on Aug. 6. 

“I am at a loss for words,” said Floyd Schofield. “This is a dream come true. My dad always told me this was all going to happen. To see it really happen, is beyond words. Now I have to do my part and win.”

Daniel “Bad Boy” Rosas (22-5-1, 14 KOs) will be looking to avenge his last defeat in the ring against Lamont Roach, Jr. on the undercard of Zurdo vs. Barrera last July 2021. Rosas is a two-time world title challenger and former WBO Youth Super Flyweight and WBC Caribbean Boxing Federation (CABOFE) Super Flyweight Titleholder.

ORLANDO, FL (August 18, 2022) – Unbeaten welterweight prospect, Jeovanny Estela (8-0, 3 KOs), returns to the ring for the third time this year on Sunday, August 21, 2022, live from Caribe Royale Orlando, in Orlando, Florida. Boxlab Promotions is the promoter and Estela’s opponent will be announced before Sunday.

“Staying active is very important to me and I’m looking forward to my fight this Sunday,” said Estela. “This fight will take place in my hometown of Orlando, where I will have a lot of supporters, and I’m looking forward to putting on a great show for them. Getting another win on my record will help me get closer to my goal of fighting for a small title by the end of the year. I am excited to face tougher opponents as my career develops. As my record improves, I look forward to taking on bigger challenges on bigger stages.”

Estela should be on a two-fight knockout streak, but his fight before his last bout, a technical knockout, saw his opponent get disqualified for excessive holding. Standing six-feet tall, Estela has the size and power to become a name in the welterweight division.

“Estela is a unique fighter, who has a long frame, a skill set, and a mindset not seen in his division,” said Mike Leanardi, CEO of FightStars, who manages Estela. “I have big plans for Estela, and I see him as a major factor in his division for the next decade. This is just another step in the process of him getting closer to the top of the division.

Helping a Great Cause

The North Las Vegas Center Ring Boxing was established by the late Joe Banales. Center Ring strategically opened its doors in the City of North Las Vegas as they saw that there was a great need to help kids get off the streets, provide educational programs, empowering them to feel better about themselves and offer them a safe haven.

Center Ring Boxing is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing youth with a constructive alternative to self-defeating behavior through athletic, academics, and community service programs. Their programs include role model mentors and a “giving inner city kids a fighting chance” philosophy that impacts an average of 400 kids each year. The strength and popularity of their programs provide youth with positive opportunities not otherwise afforded to them.

The North Las Vegas Center Ring is located at: 5710 E. Judson Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89156
