Kansas super middleweight prospect 

PRESS RELEASES /

Kansas super middleweight prospect  19-year-old Marco “El Tiburón” Romero Capped incredible 12-month boxing stretch KANSAS CITY, Kan. (November 26, 2024) — Kansas super middleweight prospect Marco “El Tiburón” Romero’s (4-0, 3 KOs) recent victory in Portland, Maine, capped an incredible 12-month stretch in which he was 13-0 overall in the ring, combining nine amateur matches and four pro bouts. A promotional free agent, Romero destroyed Orlando “El Marro” Salgado (3-6, 2 KOs), blasting his way to sensational knockout – displaying the best left hook to the body in New England boxing since “Irish” Micky Ward – at the 1:21 mark of the opening round on a November 9th card promoted by Bobby Russo’s Portland Boxing Club at Exposition Building. “I’ve always had that power, especially that left hook to the body,” Romero commented. “I knew it was over when I hit him with that body shot and he grunted. I’ve worked a lot on that left hook to the head and body. I haven’t met Micky Ward, yet, but I watched the movie, and it was a great story.” Because he hadn’t reached the mandatory age of 18, and his weight class (super middleweight) wasn’t included in 2024 Olympic boxing, Romero never seriously considered waiting for a shot at making the U.S. Olympic Team. Instead, his eyes were firmly focused on only one prize: to become a professional fighter. Last December, Romero captured back-to-back champion honors at two of the most prestigious U.S. amateur events, USA Boxing National Championships and 2024 National Golden Gloves Tournament.  All told, in the last 12 months, he was 9-0 in amateur competition, including three at The Nationals and five at The Golden Gloves, in addition to his four pro wins to date for a combined 13-0 record, which includes four as a pro and eight in elite national amateur competition (and a win in one non-national event). The Romero Plan never included The Olympics, primarily because of his age (he didn’t turn 19 until this past Thursday) and that his weight class wasn’t sanctioned at the Paris games. Not only did Marco close out his 12-months of extraordinary boxing with triumphs at The Nationals and The National Golden Gloves, but he was also named Most Outstanding Boxer (Golden Boy Award) at the latter competition. His 12-month long, prearranged schedule called for a break from fighting during the holidays and he’s gearing up for Thanksgiving, Christmas and an expected life-changing 2025. He is tentatively scheduled to return to the ring during the first quarter of next year. “Hey, we’re Mexicans. and we love food,” Romero remarked. “I’m going to enjoy the holidays with my family, but I’ll continue working hard to get better, even during the holidays.” In Romero’s corner is a legendary 77-year-old John Brown, who is Marco’s head trainer and manager, the same role he played for world heavyweight champion Tommy Morrison (48-3-1, 42 KOs) from his amateur days through his first 39 pro fights, 1988 to 1993. “I liked the fact Marco fought in front of a lot of people. 3,000 rabid fans,” Brown noted. “It was an exciting environment and down the road, he’s going to be in big fights, and it was good for him to get experience like he did in his last fight. He has a great left hook like so many Mexican fighters. I like that he’s going to have some time off after the last 12 months. We need to find him some durable sparring because that’s lacking in this area. I want him in real sparring sessions, not holding back, to know when to let it go. I don’t worry about his time off over the holidays because he’s always in the gym and he’s only 19.” Other integral members of Romero’s corner are assistant coaches Sergio Flores and Marco’s father, Salvador Romero, who encouraged his son to become a boxer at the tender age of seven.   BULLETIN BOARD  BUY NOW AT AMAZON

TEVIN FARMER REFLECTS ON THRILLING BATTLE

PRESS RELEASES /

Photo Credits: Golden Boy / Cris Esqueda TEVIN FARMER REFLECTS ON THRILLING BATTLE AGAINST WILLIAM ZEPEDA THAT PROVED HE IS AN ELITE CONTENDER NEW YORK (November 26, 2024) — Refreshed and back in the United States following a well-deserved post-fight vacation in Zanzibar, Tevin Farmer has plenty of thoughts and reflections in the aftermath of his strong performance against William Zepeda in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In a display of heart, skill, and unrelenting determination, the former world champion pushed his undefeated adversary—the #1 lightweight contender across all four major sanctioning bodies—to the brink in a razor-thin split decision loss on the undercard of Golden Boy Promotions’ Riyadh Season: Latino Night, broadcast live on DAZN. With the WBC interim lightweight world title at stake, Farmer fell just one point shy of victory on the scorecards, in a gritty, impressive effort that solidified his standing as one of the elite fighters at 135 pounds.   “I loved fighting in Saudi Arabia. It was my second time fighting abroad. Everyone treated me well. Yes, I thought I won, but overall it was an amazing experience,” said Farmer, the former IBF junior lightweight world champion, who is a great-great nephew of boxing legend Joe Gans.  “I’m always in the gym, but I spent 10 weeks in training camp preparing for this fight. Zepeda’s team expected me to be a boxer, so I switched it up. Zepeda is an aggressive volume puncher and you can’t let fighters like that apply the pressure. You have to be the bully, the one pressing forward and initiating the action. I’m a helluva fighter on the inside, I just never had to bring it out like that before.”  Farmer scored the fight’s lone knockdown with a perfectly timed straight left in the fourth frame, showcasing his trademark accuracy and ring IQ. Zepeda was visibly rattled but managed to recover.   “This was the fifth fight of my comeback, which began last June. Four of my last five opponents have hit the canvas and that now includes the #1 contender at lightweight. I fought a guy that was 31-0, with 27 knockouts, and he gets dropped by a fighter supposedly with no power,” Farmer continued. “I saw that Zepeda was throwing a lazy jab. I tried to counter it early on, but Zepeda was watching me. Timing is key. In round four, I threw a combination and the second he came back with that lazy jab, I reacted with my straight left.”  Judges Predrag Aleksic, Jun Bae Lim, and Fernando Villarreal each scored the bout 95-94, with two tallies in favor of Zepeda and one for Farmer. All three unanimously awarded Farmer rounds 4, 5, 8, and 10, with Lim’s additional nod in round one making the difference on her card.   “Zepeda was the favorite and a Golden Boy fighter, so I knew I had to finish strong and dominate the last round. His punch output was crazy, but he was standing right in front of me and was there to be hit. Watch the fight and you’ll see I hurt him several times throughout the bout,” said Farmer. “When I heard the decision, I was dejected, but I knew in my heart that I won. Losing a close decision under those circumstances is an unfortunate part of the sport, but the world saw what I can do.” “Put respect on Tevin Farmer’s name,” said Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment, on social media, in the wake of the thrilling contest. “Thought Tevin shaded it, but it was close. Tevin stands with the top of the division! He has proved that like a G and a warrior in his last two fights. That was universal #1 Zepeda in there; the knockdown should have decided it!”   Four months earlier in Las Vegas, Farmer put forth a valiant challenge against 20-0 rising contender Raymond Muratalla in July, another bout many observers felt Farmer arguably won. The back-to-back clashes against two of the best lightweights have left no doubt about Farmer’s world-class caliber.   “I already knew it mentally, but the Muratalla fight showed me that I physically still have it and can beat these young boys,” said Farmer. “Tevin Farmer is a man’s man, an underdog, a champion, and a professional,” DiBella asserted. “Tev will return and will win a big fight again.” Respected boxing analyst Dan Rafael echoed those sentiments, stating on Big Fight Weekend podcast: “Tevin Farmer is still a very solid, very credible world-class level fighter. He stood his ground, fought intelligently, and clipped Zepeda with a beautiful shot for the knockdown. He’s proven he belongs among the top at 135 pounds.”   The call for Farmer to receive another significant opportunity is growing louder. Doug Fischer, Editor-in-Chief of The Ring Magazine, was direct: “I think Zepeda owes Farmer a rematch.” Chris Mannix, of DAZN, added, “Farmer deserves another real fight,” while BoxingScene’s Francisco Salazar lauded his courage: “Few fighters today would take on Zepeda and Muratalla back-to-back. Farmer is one of the few, and he’s still a top contender.”    “I do want the rematch, an immediate rematch if I had my way. If not Zepeda, let’s do another big fight,” Farmer emphasized. “My performance showed the world that Tevin Farmer is a top fighter and he’s dangerous. I’m ready to take on anyone.” Tevin Farmer has proven time and again that he is a fighter’s fighter—fearless, skilled, and capable of competing at the highest level. Now, he deserves the stage to continue demonstrating why he’s one of boxing’s elite.  Photo Credit: Golden Boy / Cris Esqueda

World Boxing backs plan to create a new Confederation in Asia

PRESS RELEASES /

World Boxing backs plan to create a new Confederation in Asia BANGKOK (November 23, 2024) – World Boxing has welcomed the creation of a new Asian Confederation to represent and promote boxing in the region, marking a significant milestone for the sport. Mr. Pichai Chunhavajira, who recently stepped down from his role at the Asian Boxing Confederation (ASBC) following challenges in securing its independence from the International Boxing Association (IBA), has pledged his support to this groundbreaking initiative. Boris van der Vorst, the President of World Boxing, hailed this development as a “historic moment” in the evolution of the sport. He said: “We are thrilled to take this step towards empowering boxing in Asia. We are confident that the new Asian boxing confederation will thrive and further elevate the sport in the region.” The newly formed confederation has received strong support from the World Boxing community. Gennadiy Golovkin, Chair of the World Boxing Olympic Commission and a celebrated champion, warmly welcomed a new Asian boxing confederation. Golovkin said: “It is a privilege to have a clean breakthrough organization for Asia. Asian Boxing will with dedication advance the sport in Asia and undoubtedly make a lasting impact.” The formation of a new Asian confederation marks a new era for boxing in the region. It will bring together stakeholders with a shared commitment to the principles of independence, fairness, and ensuring that the interest of athletes is at the center of decision making. World Boxing will collaborate with the new Asian boxing confederation to support its goals and ensure the continued success of boxing worldwide. World Boxing was launched in April 2023. On May 7, 2024, it held the first formal meeting with the IOC which signaled the start of formal collaboration aimed at establishing a pathway for boxing to remain in the Olympic Games. On September 26, 2024, World Boxing announced that it had set-up an Olympic Commission, chaired by President of the National Olympic Committee of Kazakhstan, Gennadiy Golovkin, to support the process of developing a pathway to ensuring that boxing is restored to the Olympic Games.

THE LAST BIG HEAVYWEIGHT FIGHT AT THE OLD GARDEN

HISTORICAL /

THE LAST BIG HEAVYWEIGHT FIGHT AT THE OL’ MADISON SQUARE GARDEN The Joe Frazier vs. George Chuvalo fight on July 19, 1967 was a significant and memorable bout, especially considering it was the final significant fight held at the old Madison Square Garden (located at 8th Avenue and 50th Street in New York City) before the venue moved to its current location. (33rd & 7th Ave) Key Details of the Fight: Date: July 19, 1967 Venue: Madison Square Garden (III), New York City Fighters: Joe Frazier: A rising heavyweight contender, Frazier was known for his relentless pressure and powerful left hook. He was a former Olympic gold medalist and a rising star in the heavyweight division. George Chuvalo: A tough Canadian fighter, Chuvalo was known for his durability and iron chin. He had a reputation for taking punches from some of the hardest hitters in boxing and surviving. At the time of the fight, he was considered a gatekeeper in the heavyweight division. Chuvalo had already been in the ring with top contenders and challenged for the world heavyweight title (against Muhammad Ali 3/29/1966) and lasted the full 15 rounds. Frazier was an Olympic Gold Medalist and was becoming a rising star in the heavyweight rankings,  and was coming off a tough battle with Oscar Bonavena the year before. After that bout, in which Frazier was floored twice, while winning a split decision, Smokin’ Joe resumed in his climb with impressive KO”s over Eddie Maschan and Doug Jones.  In what turned out to be an impressive  win for Frazier, it was an instrumental event because of Ali’s absence from the ring after his bout with Zoro Foley earlier that year (also at Madison Square Garden)   Significance: Frazier’s victory over Chuvalo helped solidify his place as a legitimate contender for the heavyweight title. Fight Style: The bout was a hard-fought battle, with Frazier applying his trademark aggressive style, constantly coming forward and landing powerful hooks. Chuvalo, as expected, was able to absorb a great deal of punishment but never stopped coming forward. The fight showcased Frazier’s toughness and resilience, as well as his ability to handle a fighter like Chuvalo, who was known for his ability to withstand punishment. Historical Context: This fight was particularly notable because it was the last big event held at the old Madison Square Garden before the arena closed. The original Madison Square Garden, which had hosted many iconic events, including boxing matches, concerts, and other cultural milestones, which opened in 1925, would officially close in 1968, making this fight one of its final moments in history. Aftermath and Legacy: Joe Frazier’s Career: Frazier’s victory over Chuvalo helped set the stage for his eventual title fight against Muhammad Ali in 1971. At this time, Frazier was gaining a reputation for being one of the most formidable heavyweights in the world, and this victory propelled him forward in his career.

SALITA PROMOTIONS SIGNS BROOKLYN HEAVYWEIGHT PROSPECT PRYCE TAYLOR DETROIT–Salita Promotions has announced the signing of undefeated heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor, a former amateur standout who, like his new promoter Dmitriy Salita, learned the sweet science in New York City’s Brooklyn borough. A professional for just under a year, the 28-year-old Taylor (4-0, 2 KOs) will be featured on the next edition of “BIG TIME BOXING USA”, boxing’s premier talent developmental series, in Flint, Mich., on Thursday, December 12, airing live on global streaming service DAZN. The fight card is already loaded with some of boxing’s top prospects, including Michigan’s Ardreal “Bossman” Holmes Jr., Joey Spencer, Da’Velle “Hitman 2.0” Smith and Leon Lawson III, and is arguably Salita’s best since the BIG TIME BOXING USA series launched in February. Tickets for the event at Dort Financial Center are on sale now and can be purchased online or in-person at the Dort Financial Center Box Office.  Taylor is managed by Keith Sullivan and trained by Benny Roman and hopes to continue the tradition of Brooklyn-born heavyweight world champions such as Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, Shannon Briggs and Floyd Patterson. “I have been very impressed by what I’ve seen from Pryce in both the amateurs and in his first four professional bouts,” said Salita, who adds Taylor to a formidable stable of champions and contenders including Claressa Shields, Shohjahon Ergashev, Jermaine Franklin, Joshua Pagan and Vladimir Shishkin. “Pryce has a great chance to compete for a world title in the near future. He has all the skill and physical attributes to become the next great American heavyweight champion. It will be an exciting journey, and we are proud that he has entrusted Salita Promotions to help guide him to the top.” The 6-foot-4 Taylor is a former college basketball player who took up boxing at the age of 20 when he was introduced to the sport by members of the Cops & Kids Boxing Club in Brooklyn. Taylor quickly learned the craft and imposed his will in amateur competitions, building a record of 60 wins, 11 losses. He won two New York Golden Gloves titles and was the heavyweight runner-up four times in annual USA National Championship tournaments. In 2020, Taylor narrowly missed qualifying to represent his country at the Tokyo Olympic Games, falling just short at U.S.A. Boxing team trials in Louisiana. “I’m very happy to have signed with Salita Promotions,” said Taylor. “My manager and I reviewed several offers, and we believe that working with Salita is a great opportunity and in my best interest. I’m still learning and developing so it’s helpful to have a promoter who was an accomplished fighter, who knows the path to the top. I can’t wait to get started, get on big shows, and into main events. I’m excited for the future.” Sullivan added: “Today marks the beginning of an exciting journey for Pryce Taylor. Salita Promotions made it clear that they believe in Pryce’s ability and talent. I’m confident that Dmitriy and his team will help Pryce’s career reach great heights. We’re pleased to welcome them to the team.” Taylor has worked with top heavyweights and served as a sparring partner to such notables as Jared Anderson, Filip Hrgovic, Jarrrell Miller, Otto Wallin and Brandon Glanton. #       #       #

Hot prospects Justin Figueroa, Dominque Crowder & Avious Griffin all Remain undefeated with Knockout Victories at Tropicana Atlantic City Justin Figueroa (R) was a big hit fighting at home at The Trop (all pictures courtesy of David Algranati / The Fight Photos) ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (November 17, 2024) – Sensational knockouts was the theme during last night’s professional boxing card, presented by Boxing Insider Promotions, as only three of nine matches went the distance in The Showroom at Tropicana Atlantic City. All the action was streamed live on DAZN from The Trop. In the last of three triple-main events, hometown favorite Justin “Mr. Atlantic City” Figueroa (11-0) thrilled his enthusiastic fanbase with a fourth-round stoppage of junior middleweight Omar “El Charro” Rosales (9-4-1, 5 KOs) improving to 11-0 with his ninth knockout. The 25-year-old Figueroa came out firing and never slowed down, pummeling Rosales with left and right hooks enroute to his ninth pro career knockout.  World Boxing Association (WBA) International Bantamweight Champion Dominique “Dimes” Crowder (18-0, 11 KOs), of Baltimore, blasted out 2012 Ghana Olympian Duke “The Baby Face Assassin” Micah (24-3, 19 KOs) in the opening round.  Crowder barely worked up a sweat as he decked Micha early with a straight right hand from which he was unable to beat the referee’s count.

WBA #14 Dominique Crowder (L) improved to 18-0 Heavy-handed Tennessee welterweight Avious Griffin improved to 16-0 with his 15th knockout, putting Adrian Gutierrez (12-4-1, 6 KOs) to sleep with a powerful right in round three, extending his KO streak to nine.

Highly touted junior welterweight prospect Stacia “The Natural” Suttles (2-0, 1 KO), fighting out of Philadelphia, won a four-round unanimous decision over Mariya “Money Mashka” Agapova )0-1-1).
