QUEZADA EYEING CHALLENGES WITH BRIAN MINTO AND TRAVIS WALKER
Posted on | May 9, 2009 | No Comments
Lemoore California (May 8, 2009)
Riding a 16-fight winning streak, WBC CABOFE Heavyweight champion, Manuel “El Toro” Quezada, is eyeing challenges with heavyweight contenders Brian Minto (33-2, 21 KO’s) and Travis Walker (30-2-1, 24 KO’s).
Quezada, who’s ranked # 15 by the WBC, feels a win against Minto or Walker will get him closer to title contention as he stated, “A fight with a durable guy like Brian Minto is exactly what I want right now. It’s my understanding that he’s mentioned my name as someone he would like to fight too. As far as Travis Walker, he’s a highly ranked contender that doesn’t duck anyone. I’m sure he’ll be willing to step in the ring with me, but we’ll see. He might be gun shy after getting knocked out by Chris Arreola. We have a date open on July 16th at the Tachi Palace Casino. If any one of these fight gets finalized, I’ll be happy to give Minto or Walker a shot at my title.”
Quezada has made it clear that he is willing to get in the ring with any of the top ranked heavyweights and will travel to their own backyard to make it happen. For further inquires contact Quezada’s co-promoter Christian Printup (cprintup@hotmail.com) or matchmaker Tom Brown (818) 817-8004.

Classic Entertainment and Sports, Inc. (CES) president Jimmy Burchfield and his staff are busy all over the world making fights, promoting shows and signing prospects.
“We have ‘Awesome’ Aaron Williams in the biggest fight of his life tomorrow (Saturday) in Germany,” Burchfield explained. “Our world-rated light heavyweight Joey ‘KO Kid’ Spina headlines a show May 22nd at Twin River, featuring the CES debut of James McGirt, Jr., along with some of the best young fighters in New England. And we just signed to co-promote another good middleweight prospect, Marcus Upshaw, who fights tonight (Friday) for the Florida State title in Tampa.”
Williams-Hernandez in Germany
Nine-time amateur champion “Awesome” Aaron Williams (19-1-1, 13 KOs) takes on former Cuban amateur champion Yoan Pablo Hernandez (18-1, 11 KOs) in a cruiserweight battle Saturday night at Jako-Arena in Bamberg, Bayern, Germany.
“I’m here to win,” Williams said. “I have to do what I do best and nothing else matters. Fighting him here doesn’t matter because once the bell rings, everything goes out the window. I know he’s highly rated but I take every fight the same. Sparring with Chad Dawson at home in Las Vegas really helped me because Hernandez is a tall southpaw like Chad.”
Hernandez’ lone loss as a pro was to former world champion Wayne Braithwaite by 12-round technical knockout a year ago. Presently riding a 4-fight win streak, Yoan Pablo is rated in the top 15 of all four major boxing organizations – WBC #9, WBA #12, WBO #13 and IBF #14.
Spina-Taylor Headlines May 22 “Rage At The River”
Light heavyweight Joey “KO Kid” Spina (24-1-1, 17 KOs) headlines the May 22nd “Rage At The River” card in an 8-round fight against veteran Tiwon Taylor (26-14-1, 19 KOs). Providence’s power-punching Spina is rated No. 12 in the WBA, as well as No. 13 by the WBC and WBO.
Middleweight James McGirt, Jr. 19-2-1, 9 KOs) makes his CES debut in the 6-round co- feature against an opponent to be determined. McGirt is trained by his father, former 2-time world champion and Trainer of the Year, James “Buddy” McGirt.

Byron Mitchell replaces Berrio as Shumenov’s opponent Saturday night in Kazakhstan
Posted on | May 7, 2009 | No Comments
LAS VEGAS (May 7, 2009) – Former two-time world champion Byron “Slama from Bama” Mitchell has replaced Alejandro “Naco” Berrio as light heavyweight sensation Beibut Shumenov’s opponent, Saturday night in the main event on an all-star card, outdoors at Khadkimukan Stadium in Shumenov’s hometown of Chimkent, Kazakhstan. Berrio had visa issues in Colombia.
Saturday’s show (May 9), presented by KZ Event Productions, owned by the Shumenov brothers, Beibut and Chingis, will be taped live for later broadcasts in North America.
2004 Kazakhstan Olympian Shumenov (7-0, 5 KOs), 2008 WBC Asian Boxing Council Organization’s Boxer of the Year, is already rated No. 8 by the WBA, No. 9 by the WBO and No. 16 by the WBC. His WBO Asia Pacific, WBC Asian Boxing Council and PABA Interim titles will all be on the line, as well as the vacant IBA world crown, against present NABA USA light heavyweight champion Mitchell (27-4-1, 20 KOs).
Reigning NABA USA title-holder Mitchell first captured the WBA super middleweight belt in 1999, stopping defending champion Frankie Liles in the 11th round. Byron, 1999 Ntional Golden Gloves middleweight champion, recaptured the WBA crown in 2001 via a 12th round knockout of Manny Siaca. Two successful title defenses followed against Siaca (DEC12) and Julio Cesar Green (TKO4). All four of Mitchell’s four career losses have been to world champions – Joe Calzaghe, Sven Ottke, Bruno Girard and Richard Hall.
“Although we’re disappointed Beibut won’t be fighting Berrio as planned,” Chingis Shumenov said, “we’re excited that Mitchell accepted our offer to fight him in the main event. We’ve been targeting Mitchell, who is a world-class fighter that’s fought some of the biggest names in boxing.”
Former IBF light middleweight Roman “Made In Hell” Karmazin will fight at home for the first time in seven years against Luis “Tyson” Augusto Dos Santos (24-15, 20 KOs) in the 10-round co-feature. Born in Russia, reigning NABF middleweight title-holder Karmazin (38-3-1, 24 KOs), rated No. 5 by the IBF and No. 10 by the WBC, was stationed in the military and later lived in Uralsk, Kazakhstan, where his son, Oleg, still resides and studies.
Also fighting on Saturday’s card 4-time Uzbekistan National amateur champion Gayrat Ahmedov (10-0-1, 6 KOs), making his KZ Event Productions debut, versus WBC Latino and Brazilian title-holder Luzimar “Tiger of Itacre” Gonzaga (25-4, 20 KOs), in an 8-round light heavyweight match.
Former WBO light welterweight champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley (33-11, 19 KOs) meets former Brazilian lightweight champion Sidney Siqueira (12-3-1, 7 KOs) in an 8-round bout
The undercard is loaded with undefeated Uzbekistan light middleweight Ravshan Hudoinazarov (7-0. 5 KOs) vs. former Brazilian lightweight title-holder Isak “Iza” Tavares (16-6, 4 KOs), plus Chimkent hometown favorites such as light middleweight Kanat Orakbaev (2-0, 0 KOs) vs. Umid Soliev (1-1, 0 KOs) and pro-debuting heavyweight Doszhan Ospanov. All fights and fighters are subject to change.

ABOUT CAGE WARS
Cage Wars Championship – CWC is the brain child of Patrick Mooney and Chris Kelly from Ireland. Both men have been involved in promoting nearly 50 MMA events at all levels and are the fathers of the Cage Fighting scene in the UK. Cage Wars Championship has now become the number one Cage MMA event in Europe.
Cage Wars is a Mixed Martial Arts promotion that began in 1999 to promote and teach the sport of MMA. During that time the CWC team brought the first ever cage event to the UK in 2001 which has lead to the explosion of MMA promotions in the UK. MMA is now the fastest growing sport on the planet today.
The first event took place in the Guild Hall in Portsmouth, England and was soon followed by the first ever London event which was a sell out. Ireland, Scotland and Belfast followed over the years and last year two events were held at the world famous Kings Hall, which once again were a phenomenal success.
Cage Wars is one of the largest and longest running UK MMA events company and has hosted or introduced many of the biggest MMA stars including Seth Petruzelli, Shonie Carter, Jess Liaudin, Brian Gassaway, Sami Schiavo, Dan Severn, Joachim Hansen and Jeff Monson to name but a few.
The Cage Wars team have been involved in over 50 MMA events in the last ten years. They also produced the first ever MMA documentary “Underdogs” with LA film director Bobby Razak; the film featured UK fighters preparing to travel to the US and fight for the first time. The DVD was released globally and was heralded as the quintessential MMA documentary.
The Cage Wars team produced the first ever UK MMA publication to demonstrate that there was a market for a publication dedicated to the sport of MMA. Today there are several monthly MMA magazines.
At the end of 2008 the Cage Wars team produced the first ever MMA lifestyle social network at www.thefightfactory.eu and in a few short months the site has become hugely popular.
Currently the CW team are in pre-production for the first ever MMA lifestyle magazine TV show as well as producing Internet TV shows for several websites – FIGHT FACTORY TV and FF MMA NEWS.
The Cage Wars team have had a massive influence on the sport of MMA in the UK and Ireland and will continue to develop live events and TV projects throughout the UK, Ireland and Europe in the near future.
Upcoming events this year will be held in the UK, Spain and Ireland and later in the year CWC will introduce “Saturday Night Fights Live” which is a smaller show for all the young contenders across Europe to compete at a higher level.
