By: Cestus Press

On July 31, 2009, Seminole Warriors Boxing Promotions will host an ESPN Friday Night Fights boxing event at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. The main event will feature undefeated Dominican banger, Victor Manuel Cayo taking on veteran Julio “The Kidd” Diaz. The co-main event features Costa Rican heavyweight, Carl Davis Drumand taking on Puerto Ricon Derric Rossy in a ten round bout. The excellent undercard showcases Cestus Management’s hard hitting Chicago super middleweight Don “DA BOMB” George; George faces rugged Puerto Rican, Emmanuel Gonzalez in a six round bout. It is sure to be an exciting night of action.

George who is coming off a streak of nine consecutive knockouts, is a monstrous, boxer-puncher who has TNT in both hands; he delivers explosive action when he fights and is sure to give the fans what they want. Gonzales is a rough and tough durable fighter who has a great chin and has fought some very talented opposition; this bout looks to be very explosive.

George who has been in preparation for this fight for seven weeks, said, “I am in the best shape of my life, i feel strong and i am hitting real hard and i promise i will put on a sensational winning performance for my managers, promoters and the fans.

Gina Iacovou, who is Cestus Management’s CEO, stated, “The fans at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino are in for a great show as “DA BOMB” is pure action and has true knockout power. If you add in his charisma, this makes Donovan a must see fighter.”

Mike Michael, who is Cestus’ advisor said, “Everybody at the Hard Rock Casino needs to get ready, because on July 31st fight fans will witness the bone crushing, crippling power that Donovan George possesses. Once the fans see Donovan destroy (Emmanuel) Gonzalez and then do his trademark back flip, there will be no doubt that the fans will want to see Donovan again. ” Michael added, “I would like to personally thank our promoters, Seminole Warriors Boxing for all of their support and ESPN. The only thing left to say is, LOCK THE DOORS AND RUN FOR COVER because its going to be a hardcore night of boxing at the Hard Rock Casino on July 31st!!”.

Posted on | July 28, 2009 | No Comments

Former UFC Heavyweight Champion will be signing for free all weekend.
NEW YORK, July 27, 2009 — At 6’4” and 240 lbs, Andrei Arlovski is a beast. Armed with mixed martial arts skills and a Heavyweight Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) under his belt, Arlovski is a human wrecking ball waiting to unleash havoc at Chicago Comic-Con.

“I’ve been a huge fan of Andrei’s for some time, especially as my interest in MMA really intensified. Being a UFC Heavyweight Champion is something special, and Andrei is one of the few men who can claim he has reached that pinnacle,” said Gareb Shamus, producer of Chicago Comic-Con.

At only 27 years of age, Arlovoski is in the prime of his fighting career. Currently, Arlovoski is 9-4 with six wins by knockout and three by submission.Arlovski trains in Chicago and has mentioned making Chicago his permanent home.

Nicknamed “The Pitbull,” Arlovski began lifting weights when he was 14 years old because, if you can believe this, bullies actually used to pick on him. Arlovski figured that if he got enough muscle, the bullies would move on to another prey.

Fans can purchase the Chicago Comic-Con exclusive Andrei “The Pitbull” Arlovski Round 5 action figure featuring him and his pet Pit Bull, Maximus, during the show, and have it signed for free by Arlovski.

About Andrei “The Pit Bull” Arlovski:
At 18, Arlovski’s love for fitness and soccer led him to start training for combat sports. He studied martial arts and kickboxing, but he started to excel in a USSR martial art called Sambo. His Ultimate Fighting Championship debut came in April of 2000 against Aaron Brink at UFC 28: High Stakes. Arlovski pummeled Brink 55 seconds into the first round and won by submission with an armbar.

Special Saturday Primetime Edition of ShoBox: The New Generation

WBA Super Middleweight World Championship

Mikkel Kessler vs. Gusmyl Perdomo

On SHOWTIME, 10 p.m. ET/PT, on Sept. 12

NEW YORK (July 28, 2009)—Talented World Boxing Association (WBA) super middleweight champion Mikkel “Viking Warrior’’ Kessler of Copenhagen , Denmark , will make his eagerly awaited debut on SHOWTIME earlier than expected.

One of the early favorites in the upcoming Super Six World Boxing Classic™, Kessler (41-1, 31 KOs) will make a mandatory title defense against No. 1 ranked Gusmyl Perdomo (16-2, 10 KOs) of Turmero, Venezuela, on a special Saturday primetime edition of ShoBox: The New Generation, on SHOWTIME, Sept. 12 at 10 p.m. ET/PT (same day tape delay).

The 12-round matchup, announced Monday, will be Kessler’s second WBA 168-pound title defense and his first start since Oct. 25, 2008. Sauerland Event will promote Kessler vs. Perdomo from MCH Messecenter Herning in Herning , Denmark , Kessler’s home turf. This is the first fight for Kessler since signing a new contract with Team Sauerland.

“I am happy to be back in the ring,” said Kessler, who is slated to face undefeated 2004 Olympic Games gold medalist Andre “S.O.G.” Ward on Nov. 21, in the first group stage of the talent-laden Super Six World Boxing Classic, a six-fighter super middleweight tournament.

“As the mandatory challenger, Perdomo deserves to fight for the title (but) I want to take my WBA belt into the tournament.

“(This) is the last obstacle that I need to overcome. I will be prepared and I will be ready. I will definitely not underestimate him.”

Perdomo is a capable, game southpaw who fights out of Germany. He has won two straight and seven of his last eight. He has never been knocked out.

Perdomo’s only defeats came on points to German contenders Mario Veit on a majority decision and to Dmitry Sartison, who would go on to challenge Kessler, in a tight fight the German-based Venezuelan lost by only one point on two of the scorecards and two points on the other.

ShoBox announcers Nick Charles and Steve Farhood will call the action. The executive producer is Gordon Hall with Richard Gaughan producing and Rick Phillips directing.

Shumenov took fast track to WBA title fight against Campillo

Posted on | July 27, 2009 | No Comments

August 15 in Astana, Kazakhstan

LAS VEGAS (July 27, 2009) – Unbeaten Kazak light heavyweight sensation Beibut Shumenov is on the verge of boxing history as he prepares for his August 15th title challenge against World Boxing Association champion Gabriel “Chico Guapo” Campillo, making his first title defense, at Palace of Sports “Kazakhstan” in Astana, Kazakhstan.

The Aug. 15th show will be presented by KZ Event Productions, owned and operated by the Shumenov brothers, Beibut and Chingis, in association with Sampson Boxing, LLC.

2004 Kazakhstan Olympian Shumenov (8-0, 6 KOs), 2008 WBC Asian Boxing Council Organization’s Boxer of the Year and reigning International Boxing Association title-holder, recently relinquished his WBO Asia pacific, WBC Asian Boxing Council and PABA Interim light heavyweight title belts,

The 25-year-old Beibut has been on a fast track as a professional, debuting less than two years ago and now fighting for a major world title in only his ninth pro fight, eight less than the fewest ever for a world light heavyweight champion, Michael Spinks (17).

Shumenov, a native of Kazakhstan now residing and training in Las Vegas, currently is the WBA No. 9 contender. Two months ago in his hometown of Chimkent, Kazakhstan, Beibut stopped former world champion Byron Mitchell in the fourth round, continuing his ambitious schedule that also includes victories against former world champion Montell Griffin and world title challenger Epifanio Mendoza, respectively, by 12 and 10 round decisions.

Former European champion Campillo (18-2, 6 KOs), a stylish southpaw from Spain, captured the WBA crown June 20, traveling to Argentina and winning a 12-round majority decision against local favorite Hugo Hernan Garay (32-3).

“Our plan all along was to be aggressive and fight only quality opponents,” Chingis explained. “We didn’t want to build-up Beibut’s record against easy opponents because the window of opportunity is only open for a short time. We found that out in the 2004 Olympics when Beibut injured his hand in the second round. Anything can happen in boxing, so Beibut stepped-up to a 12-round bout in only his fourth pro fight (WKO2 against Donnell Wiggins). This will be only the second major world title fight ever held in our country (IBF cruiserweight champ Vassiliy Jirov defeated Alex Gonzales in Almaty 8 ½ years ago.). A win will make Beibut the fourth world champion from Kazakhstan (joining Jirov, WBC heavyweight Oleg Maskaev and WBO super featherweight Anatoly Alexandrov). We’re all very excited about the show.”

Also scheduled to fight on the Aug. 15th card are two Team KZ members: 4-time Uzbekistan National amateur champion Gayrat Ahmedov (11-0-1, 7 KOs) versus former Eastern & Central African titlist Douglas “Daggy” Otieno (19-1, 9 KOs) in the 12-round co-feature for the PABA light heavyweight title; Uzbekistan light middleweight Ravshan Hudayaynazarov, 2007 World Military Games gold medalist, against ex-Kenyan title-holder Joseph Joseph “Mish” Miyumo (30-7-5, 17 KOs) in a 6-rounder.

Former WBO light welterweight champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley (34-11, 20 KOs) continues his comeback bid against “Jessie” James Kimori (11-1, 7 KOs) in an 8-round bout

Also scheduled to fight on the undercard against opponents to soon be determined are a pair of pro debuting Kazaks, super featherweight Abzal Adambaev and heavyweight Doszhan Ospanov.

KZ Event Productions, Inc.

Based in Las Vegas, KZ Event Productions is owned by the Shumenov brothers, world-rated light heavyweight Beibut and Chingis. KZ Event Productions is a full service, international boxing promotional company. Go to www.kzeventproductions.com for more information about the company.
