ATLANTIC CITY (March 13, 2025)–Atlantic City’s rich boxing heritage continues to build on Saturday, March 22, as the Tropicana Atlantic City hosts an electrifying night of fights, with doors opening to the public at 6:30 PM. Presented by Boxing Insider Promotions, this event—the fourth at the venue—showcases six New Jersey boxers in a thrilling card broadcast live on DAZN.

Leading the charge is “Mr. Atlantic City,” unbeaten junior middleweight Justin Figueroa (11-0, 9 KOs), who’ll be appearing for the fourth time on a Boxing Insider show. He’ll oppose Argentina’s Mario “El Torito” Rios (10-3-1, 7 KOs) in a six-round clash. Rios has lost only to unbeaten foes, and he’s gone a lot of rounds in his career, so stamina shouldn’t be a problem for him. 

Figueroa, who continues to climb up the ranks, stopped Omar Rosales in four rounds in his last fight, at the Trop, in November. 

Atlantic City heavyweight Bruce Seldon Jr. would like for history to repeat itself. He is the son of Bruce Seldon, the city’s only world heavyweight champion, and he puts his unbeaten record (4-0, 3 KO’s) on the line. 

He is, of course, the son of the city’s first world heavyweight champion, Bruce Seldon, and is rapidly developing his skills and a big fan following. On the March 22 show, he’ll tackle Gabriel Costa, who’ll be taking a three-fight win streak into the ring. 

Junior middleweight Damian Tinnerello of Berlin, NJ (4-0, 4 KOs), has a lot of national tournament experience as an amateur, including an appearance in the finals of the 2020 USA Youth National Championships. He’ll be aiming for his fifth straight knockout in a scheduled four-rounder. 

Also slated for four-rounds is a former amateur star with the same record, who happens to be another New Jersey product. 

Multiple national champion Kahshad Elliott (4-0, 4 KOs) of Plainfield, NJ comes to Atlantic City for the first time, and he’s going to be showcased in a four-round welterweight bout. 

Julio Sanchez III, who hails from nearby Pleasantville, is coming off his last amateur bout, which took place at the Tropicana Atlantic City in November. And now he’ll make his professional debut in the lightweight division, taking on Douglas Diggs in a four-rounder. He is looking to continue a legacy, as his father Julio Sanchez, a local firefighter, competed as a pro welterweight. 

The ten-round main event brings an international touch to the festivities. 

Vlad Panin (21-1, 13 KOs) is originally from Belarus but has fought all but one of his bouts in the United States. Notable among his victories is a second-round TKO of former world welterweight and junior welterweight champion Devon Alexander, which took place last May. Panin is currently ranked #6 by the United States Boxing Association in the junior middleweight class.

His opponent on March 22 is Brian Arregui, who lost fights by majority decision and split decision in his last two outings. Arregui, who at one time was the WBO Youth champion at 154 pounds, competed for his native Argentina in the 2020 Summer Olympics. 

Promoter Larry Goldberg and Boxing Insider Promotions are really breathing life into Atlantic City’s boxing scene, and they reinforce that with this stacked lineup.

November 17, 2024) –The Tuesday night at The Troubadour in Nashville, Tennessee, former WBC Heavyweight champion Oliver McCall is set to return to action as he takes on veteran Stacy Frazier in a bout scheduled for four-rounds.

AT 59 years-old, McCall will set the record for being the oldest former heavyweight champion to compete in a sanctioned fight. The record was set just four days earlier by former undisputed champion Mike Tyson when he took on Jake Paul in Arlington, Texas.

McCall, 59-14 with 38 knockouts knows that staying active over the last 19 years will separate his performance on Tuesday night from what Tyson looked like on Friday.

“I am ready. I have been training down here in Nashville for a few weeks, but I am always in shape. This will be a lot different then what fans saw on Friday. I think being active has a great deal to do with it. The only reason that I have not fought in five years was the pandemic and a few things falling through. If you look at my record, since 2005, I have fought 25 times and have been 19-6 with wins over quality fighters and have won various regional titles.

McCall is fighting with no financial motivation and he sees that the end of fighting days are near, and is already plotting his post-retirement plans.

“I want to do this for another year. That will make it 40 years as a professional boxer. Then I want to train and get into the management end of things. I want to give back and help the next generation of fighters try to become world champions. I came down here to Nashville and hooked up with the manager who brought me to the title in (Country Box) promoter Jimmy Adams. I am learning a lot about that end of the sport, and I love the fighters down here plus everything that is going on with Country Box.”

Country Box 25 will also feature eight-round bouts featuring super bantamweight Elon DeJesus (8-1-2, 7 KOs) vs. Dominique Griffin (5-7-2, 2 KOs); as well as super middleweights Sean Hemphill (16-2, 10 KOs) fighting Bryant McClain (6-5-2, 1 KO).

Six-round bouts will see light heavyweight Isaac Carbonell (8-0, 5 KOs) taking on Antonio Louis Hernandez (7-19-4, 4 KOs); Joel Mutombo (6-0, 4 KOs) vs Kevin Torian (3-2, 3 KOs) in a cruiserweight fight.

Four-Round Bouts will have Ryan Zempoaltecatl (2-0, 1 KO) fighting Raymond Chacon (10-64-1, 2 KOs);

Tickets can be purchased at countrybox247.com

The card can be see live all over the world at 8 PM ET / 7 PM CT at USA Today, USA Today Sports, Countrybox247.com and Country Box Youtube Page

Rising heavyweight prospect Bruce Seldon Jr. looks to keep his perfect record in tact when he enters the squared circle against seven fight veteran Julio Mendoza (3-4, 2 KO’s) this Saturday in Atlantic City.

Seldon Jr., who turned professional without any amateur fights, is one of the busiest Heavyweights out there as he steps into the ring for the 4th time in 5 months as a professional.

Seldon Jr., the son of former WBA Heavyweight Champion Bruce Seldon, turned pro on June 15th with a first round knockout of Terrick Maven. The power punching prospect has followed that up two more decisive knockouts to up his record to 3-0, 3 KO’s.

“I’m looking to bring that old school feeling back…like the era when Mike Tyson, Roy Jones Jr. and Bernard Hopkins were fighting,” said Dominick Walton, CEO of Teflon Promotions. “When the best fought the best in their division in 50/50 fights.. that’s why I salute Jesse Hart, Naheem Parker, Jibril Noble, Arnold Gonzalez, Muhsin Cason etc. because they understand the mission with their mind set and their goals to be great. It brings excitement back to Philadelphia and it also puts Teflon promotions on the map.”

Jesse “Hard Work” Hart (31-3, 25 KOs), born and raised in Philadelphia, PA. is ranked No. 3 light heavyweight by the World Boxing Organization (WBO). Jesse won the NABF super middleweight title in 2014 and a year later added the IBF USBA and WBO NABO super middleweight belts with a knockout win against an undefeated Mike Jimenez. “Hard Work” made four successful defenses of the IBF and WBO titles which set him up for his first world title shot, which he lost to Zurdo Ramirez by razor thin decision. Three wins later, Hart fought a rematch with Ramirez for the same WBO world title, this time losing by majority decision. Hart is currently on a five bout win streak, last four by knockout.

“This is gonna be a great night of boxing – every fight on the card is a 50/50 match and I’m defending my number 3 WBO position,” said Hart. “It’s going to be a very exciting night.”

Ricardo Adrian “Tyson” Luna (27-12-2, 17 KOs) from Ciudad Nezahualcoyotl, México, is a former Mexican Middleweight Champion. Ricardo also challenged for the WBC USA Super Middleweight Title (twice), NABA and WBO NABO Super Middleweight titles,

Each were undefeated till recent losses. Gonzalez made pro debut in 2019 as a welterweight and his undefeated streak of fifteen ended in his last fight. The twenty-six-year-old Dervis began his career with ten consecutive wins.

In a South Jersey versus Philly battle, Philadelphian Jibril “Pegese” Noble, (6-0, 5 KOs) will battle Naheem Parker (5-1, 2 KOs) from Camden, NJ in a six-round lightweight bout. Noble made his pro debut in Philadelphia on July 24, 2021, with a second-round knockout. Noble’s only fight that went the distance was against fellow undefeated fighter on October 21, 2023.

Parker made his pro debut in 2020 and won his first five fights.

In a second PA vs Jersey bout, Jaclyne “The Assassin” McTamney (2-0, 1 KO) out of Southampton, PA will battle Princeton’s Ayeshia Green (0-1) in a four-round featherweight contest.

Muhsin “The Muslim Boxer” Cason (12-0, 9 KOs) was born in Baltimore and calls Philadelphia home. Muhsin has sixteen siblings and his oldest brother is former world heavyweight champion Hasim “The Rock” Rahman. “Hasim gives me insight on how to be focused and overcome the obstacles,” said Muhsin.

NEW YORK (November 8, 2024) – Elijah Lugo recently added another significant achievement at the 2024 World Boxing U19 Championships, winning a gold medal for Team USA.

Beginning late October and finishing up at the end last week, the tournament saw Lugo dominate his bouts, including a strong final performance against Nikita Prohovskis from Latvia, where he won by unanimous decision. This victory capped a very impressive two week plus run for Lugo, as he previously won on points and secured a technical stoppage victory (RSC) in earlier rounds. His contributions led a strong Team USA, which won multiple medals.

As previously stated, Lugo dominated the 2024 World Boxing U19 Championships from start to finish and continued to demonstrate his elite boxing prowess to go with devastating strength and power. This gold medal win follows up an impressive start to 2024, where he set Team USA’s record for knockouts. A record, which prior to Elijah, was held by none other than Nathan Lugo. His older brother.

? Nathan is represented by Split-T Management and promoted by Frank and George Warren of Queensberry Promotions. The older Lugo made his professional debut in 2024 and was featured on the streaming platform DAZN for his bouts.

Elijah Lugo, 18 years-old from Marietta, Georgia is trained by his father Michael Lugo and trains at the Lugo Boxing Club. More updates to come on Elijah’s promising career in the near future.

NEW YORK (November 5, 2024)- Trifon Petrov and Split-T Management are proud to announce the signing of Cristian Javier Pinales to a long term management agreement.

Pinales of La Romana, Dominican Republic, the 2024 Olympic Bronze Medal winner, is turning professional and plans on making his debut at the start of 2025 under the guidance of Petrov and Split-T Management.

“I am very happy to have signed with David McWater (CEO of Split-T Management) and Trifon Petrov. They represent many world champions, high level contenders and have great relationships in the sport of boxing. Working with them both will be a huge boost for my career,” said Pinales

“Cristian is a special talent and has all the necessary skills to become one of boxing greats. He has a very bright future. I am excited that he trusts David and I to guide his career moving forward. It’s a pleasure and honor to have Cristian Pinales as part of the team,” said Trifon Petrov.

“I am very excited to be working with Pinales. I believe him to be one of the best prospects to come out of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Pinales has assembled a great team to guide and support his career with Chelo, Indio, Trifon and I. Very happy to be a member of Team Pinales,” said David McWater of Split-T Management

Like his two older brothers, Pinales was an avid basketball player growing up in the Dominican Republic, but his attention shifted to boxing which eventually led him to the Silverio De Aza Boxing Club. Cristian’s many natural gifts combined with a superior work ethic quickly placed him on the world stage as an amateur culminating with an Olympic Bronze medal win.

On winning the bronze medal and representing his home country, Pinales said, “I was filled with pride representing my country at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Winning the medal for the Dominican Republic was the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

“There was a huge welcome once I made it back home. It was absolute madness. Thousands of people were waiting at the airport to congratulate me. For the month to follow I had daily media responsibilities all over the country, including meeting the President of the Dominican Republic, which was a huge honor for me. The Olympics were a huge culmination to my amateur career. Fighting in front of tens or thousands of people in Paris and defeating some of the best boxers in the history of the sport like two-times Olympic Gold medalist Arlen Lopez showed the world I belong with the best. I am ready to make the transition to the professional ranks and keep making my country proud”

When at home in the Dominican Republic, Pinales still trains at The Silverio De Aza Boxing Club, but after turning professional he will base himself in the United States to train Bethlehem, Pennsylvania under the watchful eyes of veteran trainers Chelo Betancourt and Indio Rodriguez.

“After Pinales won a medal at the Paris Olympics, becoming a professional was the next logical step. He’s had an extremely long and successful amateur career, and now it’s time to show the world what he can do as a professional. He is a very talented fighter who can do it all in the ring. I am excited to have the opportunity to work with him alongside Indio Rodriguez,” said Betancourt.

Pinales, a father of two, looks to become a big star in boxing, “Becoming a boxer is the best decision I’ve ever made. Now I am looking forward to becoming professional, as it will be another dream come true. I believe that my combination of skill and charisma will make me a household name in the boxing world. I achieved my first goal of bringing an Olympic Medal home, now my focus shifts to my next goal, which is to bring a world title home. I can’t wait to go to work. I am ready and excited for the journey,” Pinales finished.
