MIAMI, FL — On Saturday, May 2, 2026, boxing returns to Miami with purpose as Yuriorkis Gamboa and Guillermo Rigondeaux headline “Havana Heat” at the James L. Knight Center.?
?

Presented by Ron Johnson’s American Dream Presents and Nothing But Sportz, the event features a 13-bout professional card built around fighters who have proven themselves and others looking to take that next step.?
?

“Gamboa and Rigondeaux aren’t just accomplished fighters — they represent a boxing tradition that has produced some of the toughest, smartest, and most respected champions in the sport,” said Ron Johnson. “Cuban boxing carries real history, discipline, and pride. To present both of these men on the same night, in a city like Miami that understands that culture, is something I take seriously. It’s an honor to bring two legends to this stage.”?
?

The official kickoff press conference will take place Thursday, April 2, 2026 at 2:00 PM at BoxR Gym, 1310 NE 1st Ave, Miami, FL.?
?

This is not a one-fight show. From the opening bell through the main event, “Havana Heat” is built as a complete night of boxing with pace, personality, and stakes throughout the card.?
?

MAIN EVENT

YURIORKIS GAMBOA — Gamboa didn’t come up easy—and he never fought like it. From his rise through the amateurs to becoming a unified world champion, he built his name on speed, confidence, and the ability to take over a fight in moments. He’s shared the ring with top-level competition and continues to bring the same edge, the same explosiveness, and the same mindset that made him one of the most dangerous fighters in boxing. When Gamboa steps in, there’s always a real moment waiting to happen.?
?

GUILLERMO RIGONDEAUX — A two-time Olympic gold medalist and former world champion, Rigondeaux has spent the last decade being regarded as one of the most skilled fighters in the world. His timing, discipline, and ability to control distance have made him one of the most difficult fighters to deal with in boxing. He doesn’t waste movement, doesn’t force anything—he makes opponents fight his fight, and very few have been able to solve it.?
?

UNDERCARD

• Dominique Valera — aggressive, action-driven style
• Christen Biggs (Brooklyn, NY) — rising fighter looking to break through
• Pierre Nance — opportunity to build momentum
• Lucas Dos Santos — international presence and versatility
• Akeem Cheetham — actor and undefeated boxer (1-0), star of TKO on Tubi
• Giovanni Cristian Scuderi — emerging name looking to make a statement
• Nikita Ababiy (“White Chocolate”) — fan-friendly fighter known for sharp combinations and energy
• Peter Peraza — making his professional debut, carrying a strong Miami fan base and an extensive BKFC background, expected to draw significant local attention

Additional bouts will complete the 13-fight lineup.?
?

NOTHING BUT SPORTZ

“We’re focused on building something consistent in boxing — events people can rely on, not one-offs,” said Steven Marcano and Akinyemi Ajayi of Nothing But Sportz. “Havana Heat reflects that. Strong main event, full card, and real content around it.”?

He came to win, but I showed I was there to win, too. It came down to nutrition and willpower. We both had a game plan, But I had more will.

Anyone who crosses his path immediately sees the quality of his character. I can’t wait to see how his career unfolds with Wise Owl behind him.”

Known as “The Stuntman” for his explosive athleticism and fearless style in the ring, Griffith is expected to remain active as he continues his rise in one of boxing’s most competitive divisions.

Wise Owl Boxing, led by boxing manager Mark Habibi, proudly announces the signing of undefeated lightweight sensation Brandon McCarthy to its elite management stable.

McCarthy, a decorated Irish standout, brings one of the most accomplished amateur résumés in recent memory. The 16-time National Champion compiled an astonishing amateur record of 200-15, earning widespread recognition throughout Ireland and internationally for his skill, toughness, and championship pedigree.

Since turning professional, McCarthy has wasted no time making his mark. He currently stands at 5-0 as a pro and has already demonstrated rapid progression in the paid ranks. After debuting on the respected ProBox platform in a four-round bout, McCarthy advanced to six-round contests by just his second professional fight — a clear indication of both his readiness and the confidence his team has in his ability.

Now training out of the world-renowned Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, California, under acclaimed trainer Marvin Somodio, McCarthy is sharpening his tools among elite company as he prepares to climb the lightweight ranks.

Wise Owl Boxing, owned by Habibi, manages an elite stable of fighters including highly ranked contender Brandon Adams, who is on the cusp of a world title opportunity, as well as multiple Olympians who have successfully transitioned into the professional ranks.

Habibi believes McCarthy is a natural fit for the Wise Owl family.

“Brandon is the perfect addition to our stable,” said Habibi. “His amateur career is incredibly impressive — 200 wins doesn’t happen by accident. That experience is exactly why he was able to move into six-round fights so quickly against tough competition. He doesn’t shy away from anyone. I love that killer instinct. He’s going to make a lot of noise at 135 pounds.”

McCarthy is scheduled to make his first appearance under Wise Owl Boxing management in April, on a card to be officially announced in the coming weeks.

With his decorated background, relentless style, and championship mindset, Brandon McCarthy now begins the next chapter of his career — one that Wise Owl Boxing fully expects to lead to major opportunities in one of boxing’s deepest and most exciting divisions.

NEW YORK (December 15, 2025)–Split-T Management has signed amateur standout Adrian Salazar to an exclusive management contract.

Salazar of Tyler, Texas was a 2022 USA Boxing National champion and 2023 National Golden Gloves champion. His amateur career spanned over 50 bouts and was a three-time Texas State Golden Gloves champion.

“I chose to sign with Split-T Management and David McWater because they have a proven track record of developing elite fighters and guiding them from the amateur level to the top of the sport,” said Salazar. “David understands boxing at every level—from the amateurs to world championships—and he knows how to move fighters the right way. I wanted a team that believes in my potential, matches my ambition, and can put me in the best position to succeed. Split-T has that reputation, and I’m confident they can take my career to the next level.”

Salazar continued: “My style is a blend of IQ, pressure, and precision. I’m aggressive when I need to be, but I stay smart behind my jab and use angles to control the pace. I like to break opponents down with sharp combinations, stay defensively responsible, and show that I can adapt to any style in front of me. I’m a well-rounded fighter with a champion’s mindset.”

David McWater, founder and CEO of Split-T Management stated: “Adrian has a style and maturity that is much wiser than most 22 year old young men. He has the tools and, more importantly, desire and work ethic necessary to become a world champion. I have no doubt that a championship belt will one day be strapped around his waist.” 

The hard hitting lefty is eager to get his career going towards that goal and will make his professional debut at the start of 2026. 

“Fans can expect an explosive, high-energy fight every time I step into the ring. I’m a powerful southpaw who presses the action, breaks opponents down, and looks for clean, damaging shots. I bring excitement—smart pressure, sharp counters, and the kind of power that can change a fight at any moment. When I’m in there, I’m coming to dominate and give fans a performance they’ll remember.”
