Posted on | June 22, 2011 | No Comments
Dangerboy events in association with Chavez promotions partners up with TJ Nobles to provide Missouri’s first hybrid MMA/professional boxing event!!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LAS VEGAS / SPRINGFIELD, MO—World ranked Cruiserweight contender, B.J. Flores is proud to announce the formation of his own promotional company, Danger Boy Events with the first fight card being tabbed for July 23rd at the O’Riley Center in Springfield, Missouri that will feature Flores take on Nick Iannuzzi in a ten round bout that will be part of a hybrid boxing/MMA show.
Tickets go on sale Friday.
Danger Boy Events in association with Chavez promotions will be returning every 3-4 months now that a deal has been reached with O’Riley Events Center.
“I am ecstatic about bringing big fights to the Ozarks and giving the people in this area very entertaining matches! The people in this area are very supportive of their local athletes and very passionate about their sports! 7 MMA fights and 4 professional boxing matches! You have the best of both worlds!! With partners Jacob Chavez and Wes Slay working behind the scenes, it allows me to fully focus on my training and be prepared to give the fight of my life on July 23!! It’s going to be exciting” Tickets go on sale this Friday!!”
Flores, who is coming off his only professional defeat when he traveled all the way to Australia and lost to hometown hero Danny Green is eager to turn that experience into a positive.
“I’m using that experience and that motivation on just coming up short on a world title fight as a positive on my next fight. Either way I still feel like I landed the more damaging punches. I was never hurt or buzzed and pressed the action the entire time. He fought smart. Now I will move on.”
“Ianuzzi will find it very difficult to stay with me for 10 rounds when I come in at the full 200 pound limit. I am looking forward to making a statement by knocking him out after #1 WBA world rated ; #3 WBO and #3 WBC contender Lateef Kayode was barely able to squeak past him. This will be a great fight right after my fight in Australia! Iannuzzi is a legitimate opponent and I am ready for a strong performance on July 23rd.
I will be fighting regularly in Springfield Missouri now that we have a deal in place at the O’Riley Center and that holds almost 4,000 fans. These people in the Midwest are very supportive and passionate about their local athletes! I am looking forward to giving them a spectacular knockout in a fight that will put me right back towards the top of the world ratings!!
Plus the fan will get their monies worth with seven MMA fights and four boxing fights and we are trying to build a brand here in Springfield with pleasing all fans of combat sports.

SKY SPORTS ‘ONE TO WATCH’ TOWERS IN ACTION ON SATURDAY
Posted on | June 22, 2011 | No Comments
Sheffield Heavyweight eager to impress in hometown fight
Richard Towers fights on the undercard on Kell Brook v Lovemore N’dou on Saturday live on Sky Sports – another step in the remarkable turnaround in his life.
The unbeaten Sheffield Heavyweight (10-0) was jailed for 13 years for his part of a kidnapping when he was just 23. Towers served seven years of his sentence, and when he came out he headed straight to the Wincobank Gym where Sheffield’s boxing greats have learnt their trade under Brendan Ingle and his sons Dominic and John.
Now 31, Towers fights experienced Belgian Ismail Abdoul (40-21-2) in the sell-out show at the Hillsborough Leisure Centre, and after being named as one of Sky Sports 11 to watch in 2011, the gentle giant knows he has a long way to go before he can challenge the very best in the business.
“I watched the Sky show and that’s absolutely brilliant that people are watching my career with interest,” said Towers. “But my feet are on the ground because a lot of things come with being at the top of the food chain, people want to know you, they want to associate with you and they want to be seen with you. I know how artificial it is and I know I’ve got to really graft and sweat blood to get to where I want to. The only way I can get there is to punch holes in people.
“I want to be a World level fighter. The concept of reaching that point is beyond me. I can’t sit here and say with 100 per cent confidence that I am going to get there but what I am going to do is listen to the people here who have got fighters to the very top, with less ability, less determination and less chances.
“Ratings and rankings aren’t important to me at the moment. That will all come as long as I keep winning and keep doing the right things behind the scenes, the work that people don’t get to see, all the rest will come with it.”
Towers boxed in prison and kept in shape, but admitted he got a rude awakening when he thought he could walk into the famous old venue and take charge.
“In boxing, like in prison, you have to go in to dominate,” said Towers. “In prison you are either at the top of the food-chain, or the bottom – there’s not really anything in between.
“I chose to get through at the top, it’s dog-eat-dog in there and I wanted to make sure I got through it. One of the things that came with it was stamping your authority on things. I don’t want to glorify it, but I had a few fights for money and I thought I could fight, until I came to Wincobank.
“I came into the gym on the second day I came out of prison and spoke to Brendan and Dominic. They slung me into the ring with Junior Witter, who taught me a very harsh boxing lesson with regards to technique and movement, things I didn’t know in boxing because I thought it was all brawn.”
But as he turns 32 in August, Towers is also aware that he cannot hang around and let his career fade away and when he arrived at the gym, Dominic Ingle laid it on the line to him.
“Dominic doesn’t mince his words – he said to me that I was coming into the game mature – mature, but not old. He said I had preserved yourself well; not drunk, smoked, done drugs and not been exposed to the stereotypical 20-something lifestyle because of prison. I’d been training, eating three meals a day and sleeping right, and had time to reflect on things to see the bigger picture.
“He told me that I had five to ten years in the game and then asked: ‘Are you here to waste time?’ I told him that I wasn’t and that I wanted to train, to learn, to fight and to improve.”
“I’m under no illusions that I’m at the bottom of the ladder and I’m working my way up, the likes of Tyson Fury, Derek Chisora and David Price are all talking the talk but they are winning too – if I get to face them, all I can do is my job.”
That might be his job inside the ring, but outside the ring he has an important role too. Towers is working hard in the community and in schools to warn impressionable youngsters of some of the dangers that landed him in prison.
“I speak to kids from troubled backgrounds for a couple of hours a week,” said Towers. “They come down to the gym or I go to the schools and I talk to them about the consequences of getting involved in guns and drugs and so on. I try to get the message across to them that there’s no future in mixing with negative people. I see a lot of kids walk into the room and think ‘who are you?’ Then when the teacher comes in and says this is Richard, he’s been to prison, he’s been involved in this and that, you can see that’s a lesson learned already – don’t presume because you don’t know who you are dealing with.
“It’s about giving something back really. People have said that I’ve done my time and they don’t understand why I do that. I never had an older figure directing the way for me, so I just want to give them a bit of guidance and if you help one kid out of ten then you’ve done your part. I feel like I’m putting something more relevant back into the flow of things.”

World Light Heavyweight Champion Beibut Shumenov Makes third title defense July 29 in Las Vegas
Posted on | June 22, 2011 | No Comments
‘Fire & Fury’ on Solo Boxeo Tecate show live at South Point Hotel Casino
LAS VEGAS (June 22, 2011) – KZ Event Productions announced today that World Boxing Association/International Boxing Association Light Heavyweight World Champion Beibut Shumenov will make his third title defense July 29, showcased on TeleFutura’s Solo Boxeo Tecate show, live from South Point Hotel Casino in Las Vegas.
“Fire & Fury,” headlined by the WBA/IBA championship showdown between Shumenov (11-1, 7 KOs) and challenger Danny “The Bronx Bomber” Santiago, is being promoted by KZ Event Productions. Shumenov and his brother, Chingis, own and operate the Las Vegas-based KZ Event Productions.
Shumenov (11-1, 7 KOs), the 2004 Kazakhstan Olympian who is now fighting out of Las Vegas, set a light heavyweight record for capturing a world title in the fewest career fights, 10, when he won (Jan. 10, 2010) a 12-round decision against Gabriel Campillo in Las Vegas. Shumenov has successfully defended his WBA/IBA titles twice against No. 1 mandatory challenger Viacheslav Uzelkov (UDEC12) and three-time world champion William Joppy (KO6) last January in Shymkent, Kazakhstan.
“I’m very excited to be fighting in my adopted hometown, Las Vegas, where I won the world title,” Shumenov said. “I’ve lived in Las Vegas for a few years and I’ve wanted to defend my title belts here since I first won them. I have a lot of respect for my opponent, Danny Santiago, who has a lot of experience in big fights. In addition to my world title fight, we’ll also be showcasing world-class fighters, along with local Las Vegas favorites. This promotion will not only feature great boxing but Vegas-style entertainment, too.
“I’d like to thank Golden Boy, Don Chagrin, Guilty Boxing, TeleFutura’s Solo Boxeo and our host venue, the beautiful South Point Hotel Casino. We’re all working together to make this a memorable night for everyone there and those fans watching on television.”
WBA #15 ranked Santiago (31-4-1, 19), fighting out of Ocala, Florida, is a two-time world title challenger. His signature victory was a fourth-round technical knockout of 30-1 Elvir Muriqi. Santiago was also featured on the third season of The Contender reality television series.
“Fire & Fury” is being presented by KZ Event Productions in association with Golden Boy Promotions, Don Chagrin Promotions, Guilty Boxing, Solo Boxeo Tecate and South Point Hotel Casino.
Tickets, starting at $25.00, are available to purchase at South Point’s box office, on line atwww.SouthPointEventCenter.com/tickets.php, or by calling 1.702.797.8055.
Doors open at 5:30 PM/PT, first bout at 6:00 PM/PT, first TV bout at 8:30 PM/PT
