TONY WILL DITCH RIHANNA AFTER PRIZEFIGHTER GLORY!

Posted on | May 5, 2011 | No Comments

Frenchman to turn his back on St Tropez glamour job with Ally Pally win

Gregory Tony is used to rubbing shoulders with beautiful international stars but on Saturday, he will mix it with seven international heavyweights gunning for glory in Prizefighter International Heavyweights at Alexandra Palace.

The eight contenders from eight different countries are battling it out in the unique tournament in north London, a celebration of World Heavyweight boxing live on Sky Sports this Saturday night from 9pm.

Frenchman Tony has just one defeat on his 15-fight record when he was stopped by Robert Helenius in their European title clash in August, and the 32 year-old – also a title-winning Kickboxer – is confident that will remain his sole loss after Saturday night.

Victory would mean Tony would have more time for his boxing and could turn his back on his other work – guarding the door of the exclusive Les Caves du Roy nightclub in St Tropez, where he keeps the peace amongst some of the world’s biggest stars.

“There are many people like Paris Hilton, Rihanna, Denis Rodman, Alicia Keys, P-Diddy who go there – there are so many stars and I see all of them,” said Tony.

“I want to be able to train more and work less as a bodyguard – I also look after my children so winning Prizefighter would be massive for me. As I’ve won many tournaments, I think Prizefighter suits my style – I have no amateur background but I had a good K-1 and Thai boxing record.”

For many of the fighters it’s their first taste of fighting in London, but Tony is no stranger to the capital having sparred with David Haye before Audley Harrison won the third Heavyweights tournament in October 2009.

“I’ve got a taste of Prizefighter when Harrison won when I was in training with David Haye,” said Tony. “I like this concept, I think it’s a good idea, being able to box and meet several people in one evening. It’s not my first fight in the UK, I fought Pelé Reid in Birmingham in a K-1 fight and I won – that was a good feeling and I look forward to have this opportunity to have this experience again.”

Tony will face Russian giant Evgeny Orlov in the second quarter-final, the 6ft 9in man brought in to replace Kevin ‘Kingpin’ Johnson, who pulled out of the tournament after he was refused exit from the States through non-payment of child maintenance.

The winner of that fight faces the winner of the opening bout of the night in the semi-finals, with unbeaten Irish-based Cuban Mike Perez taking on Trinidad and Tobago’s Kerston Manswell. The other side of the draw sees UK Prizefighter Champion Michael Sprott face American KO machine Tye Fields, with the victor facing either unbeaten Romanian Lucian Bot or the dangerous big-hitting German Konstantin Airich in the second semi-final.

Prizefighter International Heavyweights Draw

Quarter-final one: Mike Perez v Kerston Manswell
Quarter-final two: Evgeny Orlov v Gregory Tony
Quarter-final three: Michael Sprott v Tye Fields
Quarter-final four: Lucian Bot v Konstantin Airich

Tickets for Prizefighter International Heavyweights at London’s Alexandra Palace on Saturday 7 May are available from Matchroom Sport priced £35 unreserved, £50 and £60 ringside and £120 VIP – to buy call Matchroom Sport on 01277 359900.

AGGRESSION MMA ANNOUNCES “CONFRONTATION” FOR NEXT EXCITING EVENT

Posted on | May 5, 2011 | No Comments

Card is headlined by top-ranked Canadian 170ers Ryan Ford and Nick Hinchliffe

Edmonton, Alberta (Canada): Aggression MMA, Edmonton’s top fight promotion, today announced its next fight event, “Confrontation,” which will feature a main event between nationally-ranked welterweight stars Ryan “The Real Deal” Ford (14-3) and Nick “Juggernaut” Hinchliffe (18-7). This highly-anticipated event will take place Friday, June 10^th, at the Shaw Conference Center in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. “Confrontation” will also showcase two-time world Muay Thai champion Shane “Shaolin” Campbell (4-1), submission wizard Luke Harris (6-1), and the MMA debut of world Muay Thai champion Levi Krupe. More details will be announced shortly.

General admission tickets for “Confrontation” are now on sale, and are priced at $60. Limited floor seats are available for $100, $150, and $200. Tickets are available at www.tnttickets.ca or via email atinfo@aggressionmma.com. Fans can also call (780) 426-SOLD.

Due to a venue scheduling conflict, “Confrontation” will not be broadcasted on The Score Television Network as part of The Score Fighting Series, as was its previous event, “Punishment.” The Score is a national specialty television channel providing sports news, information, highlights and live event programming in more than 6.8 million homes across Canada.

Despite the scheduling situation, Aggression MMA decided to hold a show for the benefit of its loyal fighters. “We could have taken the low road and postponed our event until the fall, but we felt we had an obligation to our fans and loyal fighters to follow up our last event with an even more entertaining card,” explained Aggression co-owner Moin Mirza. “We are confident that ‘Confrontation’ is going to be an incredible event.”

A multi-time veteran of The Fight Club, a Canadian fight promotion recently acquired by Aggression, “The Real Deal”has defeated UFC veterans Pete Spratt (twice) and CJ Fernandes, and has faced current Strikeforce combatant Pat “Bam Bam” Healy. Many consider Ford to be the top contender for the spot of Canada’s next breakout welterweight, following in the footsteps of current UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre. With thirteen finishes in his fourteen wins, he is on the cusp of true superstar status, and is hungry to prove that he belongs amongst the elite of the North American fight scene.

“All I gotta say is that Nick better step his game up from his last few fights, cause I’m on a whole different level than any fighter he’s fought,” stated “The Real Deal.” “Everything that I bring to the fight…he won’t be able to handle it. So, bottom line, he ain’t G’d up, so he’s gettin’ beat up.”

Standing in Ford’s way at “Confrontation” will be Nick Hinchliffe, an experienced 170-pounder who has won five of his last seven bouts. He has faced Canadian MMA stars such as current UFC welterweight Rory MacDonald, Kalib Starnes, Travis Galbraith, Victor Valimaki, and Ryan Machan. The Team Impact product was very active in 2010, competing six times. In his last appearance, he defeated Machan via majority decision. He’ll now face Ford with much at stake.

In addition to the aforementioned combatants, “Confrontation” will present regular highlight reel inhabitants Jason Gorny (4-4), UFC veteran Victor “The Matrix” Valamaki (16-8), Steve Beaumont (2-0) and ex-Canadian Football League star, Rio Wells (4-1). The full fight card will be announced shortly.

2011 WTKA World Championship & Martial Marathon will be held in Italy Marina di Carrara the beautiful location of 2010 edition!!!

Marina di Carrara is located in Tuscany very closed to Pisa, Florence, Genova, Turin, Rome, Bologna and Milan Airports.

Marina di Carrara is closed to beautiful Pisa, Florence, Lucca and above all “the Cinque Terre” (under the Patronage of Unesco),they are a kingdom of nature and wild scents maintained as in the past. To visit the Cinque Terre means to visit five villages suspended between sea and earth, clinging on to cliffs and surrounded by green hills.

And again Lunigiana a very particular land that keeps intact the evidences of its feudal history and, at the same time, preserves an unspoilt nature, quite completely free from industrial pollution.

Genova with the famous Acquario di Genova, Europe’s largest aquarium is one of Genova’s biggest draws and a must-see for travelers with children.              The structure alone is remarkable, resembling a ship and built alongside a pier in the old harbor.

And Turin with its great history and the world famous Egyptian Museum.
The Museo delle Antichità Egizie is the only museum other than the Cairo Museum that is dedicated solely to Egyptian art and culture.

Many international scholars, since the decipherer of Egyptian hieroglyphs Jean-François Champollion, who came to Turin in 1824, spend much time pouring over the collections.

It was Champollion who famously wrote, “The road to Memphis and Thebes passes through Turin”.

 

Competitions will start officially Thursday 27th October 2011
after the Opening Ceremony.

You might already know that, 2 day prior to the start of the event, Officials Seminars will be held to define the guidelines for refereeing.

Posted on | May 5, 2011 | No Comments

PLUS THE STAR BOXING DEBUTS OF POWER PUNCHING JASON ESCALERA AND EMANUEL GONZALEZ

ALSO WATCH AND SHARE WEIGH-IN VIDEO

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NEW YORK (May 5, 2011)—One of the most popular fighters in New York will return after a three year hiatus from the ring as Edgar Santana gets back in action as he will be challenged by tough Robert Jones that will highlight Punchin at The Paradise 11 that can be seen LIVE all over the world on www.gfl.tv

The action can be seen for just $9.99 at 7:30 EST by clicking: http://www.gfl.tv/Events/Fight/Boxing/Punchin_at_the_Paradise_11__Cinco_De_Mayo/1028

Santana of Bronx, NY was beset by legal problems that kept him on the sidelines and is now back at Welterweight. With a couple wins he will set his sights on the cream of the division.

Santana sports a very impressive record of 24-3 with fifteen big knockouts which includes wins over Meachor Major (12-2-1); Dairo Esales (30-6); Mike Gonzalez (10-2); Grover Wiley (30-10-1) and in his last bout he scored an impressive ten round majority decision over now world ranked Josesito Lopez (22-2) in a bout that took place on April 11, 2008.

Santana has been chomping at the bit and will have many of the fans, who stood by him through his turbulent times, both in attendance and watching on www.gfl.tv to support him.

Jones of Ann Arbor, Michigan told www.gfl.tv that he is not your ordinary 8-8 fighter and his record proves it as fought seven undefeated fighters as well as a decision loss to New York Prospect Mike Ruiz in a bout that many felt Jones should have got the decision.

“The first time I fought in New York, I should have won that Ruiz fight.  Now I am back to right that wrong and if Santana thinks I am just the average opponent, he will be mistaken”

The show, which is promoted by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing will feature the companies two latest signees in Featherweight Emanuel Gonzalez and Super Middleweight Jason Escalera.

Gonzalez of New York, has a record of 7-0 with six knockouts will take on Jacob Thornton of St. Louis.

Escalera of Union City, New Jersey has built up a reputation as being a devastating knockout artist will put his perfect record of 10-0 with nine knockouts when he takes on the battle tested Mustphah Johnson

Johnson will defiantly be a test for Escalera as he has been in the ring with contender Gabriel Rosado (twice); Gee Cullmer (13-1-1); Darryl Cunningham (15-2); Joe Linefelser (8-0-1); former world title challenger Elvin Ayala (20-5-1) and his last bout against Jose Alonzao (11-0)

Those are just three of six big bouts that will also feature undefeated prospects Stivens Bujac (3-0, 2 KO’s) and Issouf Kinda (9-0, 4 KO’s)
