Camp’s Over, Williams Ready To Take Norton’s Title On The 21st Oct.

Posted on | October 13, 2011 | No Comments

On Wednesday evening, at Johnny Eames’ TRAD TKO Boxing Gym in Canning Town, British Cruiserweight title challenger Leon Williams completed the final sparring session of his training camp, for next Friday’s highly anticipated showdown with current Champ Rob Norton at the York Hall in Bethnal Green.

Whilst it’s not unusual for other fighters to catch as much of a sparring session as possible, it is rare for a whole gym of top class fighters, that includes the likes of Frankie Gavin, Erick Ochieng, Billy Joe Saunders, Mitchell Balker etc, and trainers such as Jimmy Tibbs, Mark Tibbs and Bryan Lawrence to halt  their training regimes in order to watch the ensuing battles, which in itself speaks volumes of the intensity and quality of the session.

As the bell rang to bring the final round to a finish, the suffocating air of tension that encompassed the gym was shattered by the sound of thirty or so pairs of hands erupting into enthusiastic applause for the sensational performance.

At the very same moment Williams’, as well as co-trainers Johnny Eames and Barry Smith’s, serious expressions broke into beaming smiles, as the knowledge that the job was done and they were well and truly ready dawned on them.

Once the round of congratulations came to an end Johnny Eames just couldn’t hide his contented smile as he said, “We’ve just finished the last twelve rounds of Leon Williams sparring.

He’s sparred with three different big southpaws, who all fought in the style of Rob Norton. To be honest he dusted everyone of them up.

He’s ready, now I can’t wait ‘til fight night, Leon can’t wait ‘til fight night.

I’m really confident and looking forward to the TKO having another British Champion in the house.”

Leon ‘Solid’ Williams versus Rob Norton for the British Cruiserweight Championship headlines the Francis and George Warren’s Queensberry Promotions event at York Hall, Bethnal Green, London, and broadcast live on BoxNation (Sky Platform Ch. 456), on Friday the 21st October 2011.

Heading up the support card for this battle of the big boys will pitch Cromer, Norfolk’s Ryan Walsh against Melsham, Wiltshire’s Liam Richards for the vacant English Super Bantamweight title.

The stacked undercard also features the UK debut of unbeaten Irishman Dean ‘Irish Lightning’ Byrne, Penge’s unbeaten Welterweight Bradley Skeet,
Croydon Light Welter Danny Davis and the debut of Peckham Welterweight John Garton, all against yet to be named opponents.

Tickets, priced £40 (standard seated) and £60 (ringside) for Williams vs. Norton are available now, either direct from Leon Williams – tickets are also be available at the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym, Gillian House, Stephenson Street, Canning Town, London E16 4SA and on-line at www.tkoboxoffice.com

FAMED ACTOR/BODYGUARD/MARTIAL ARTIST CHUCK ZITO TO APPEAR AT TEAM PALOOKA BOOTH AT NEW YORK COMIC-CON

Posted on | October 13, 2011 | 1 Comment

Description: cid:image006.jpg@01CC890F.97CEA9C0 

Ridgewood, New Jersey (USA): Team Palooka is proud to announce that Chuck Zito, a member of the Martial Arts Hall of Fame and a longtime MMA fan, will be appearing and signing autographs at the “Joe Palooka” booth (#349) this Saturday at noon at the New York Comic-Con.

In addition to appearing at the booth in support of Team Palooka, Zito is also going to be featured in a future issue of “Joe Palooka’s” sister series, “Legion of Combat.” Zito and his friends will intercede to prevent nefarious villains from interfering with a Legion of Combat match on New Jersey’s Ellis Island, located next to the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor.

 

The 58 year-old Zito is quite a character. An Italian-American, the tough guy has been a bodyguard for many stars.

Zito also ran a Hells Angels chapter at one point, and spent time as an amateur boxer and trainer. In addition, he starred in HBO’s celebrated series “Oz,” and now hosts “Chuck Zito’s View” on Howard Stern’s Sirius Satellite Radio.

 

“We’re going to have an awesome time at the New York Comic-Con,” says “Joe Palooka” creator Joe Antonacci. “To have guys like Mike Massenzio and Chuck Zito representing Team Palooka at our booth…it’s an honor. They both embody the toughness and character that Joe Palooka is all about.”

 

Chuck Zito joins UFC fighter Mike Massenzio in representing Team Palooka at the NY Comic-Con this year. Here’s the schedule:

 

UFC Star Mike Massenzio, after scoring a HUGE win in Saturdays UFC 136 PPV, will appear in the booth Thursday from 4-7 pm for a meet-and-greet and will sign autographs Sunday 1-3 pm

Actor (Star of HBO’s OZ), Martial Arts HOF member, stuntman, author, and director Chuck Zito is signing autographs Saturday at noon

The Fuel Fight Gear Supermodels will be in the booth Friday and Saturday from noon-3 pm to meet fans, take photos, and hand out promotional materials

 

The news MMA comic book fans have been waiting for was recently announced: the comic series made its world premiere with its first issue last week when “Joe Palooka” issues #1 & #2 became available for purchase for the first time anywhere. Fans can get their hands on the comic athttp://www.Palooka.com/, and hard copies of the issue will follow in early 2012.

 

A special 13-page FREE-VIEW is also available simply for signing up with an email address on http://www.Palooka.com/, and fans can also take advantage of a unique offer on “Joe Palooka” issues #1 and #2, which are available together for the low price of only $1.99.

 

The “Joe Palooka” comic series tells the story of Joe Palooka, an MMA fighter who competes in “Legion of Combat,” which is a sister comic publication. “Legion of Combat” will feature Joe Palooka and top MMA stars including “Suga” Rashad Evans, Anthony “Rumble” Johnson, the Blackzilians, Brendan Schaub, and the Miller brothers in team matches between fighters representing countries such as the U.S., the U.K., Brazil, Russia, Japan, China, and other nations.

Amazing Wax Figure of World Champion Boxer Bernard Hopkins Created by Ripley’s Believe It or Not!

Posted on | October 13, 2011 | No Comments

Hopkins Letterhead

 

Bernard Hopkins – a True Believe it or Not! Himself – Sees Figure for First Time at Press Conference for his Oct. 15 Title Defense

 

 

LOS ANGELES (Oct. 12, 2011) – Two Bernard Hopkins showed up at the final press conference today for Saturday night’s “Believe It or Not!: Bernard Hopkins vs Chad Dawson” WBC and Ring Magazine Light Heavyweight Championship at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles which will be produced and distributed live on HBO Pay-Per-View®.

Both turned out to be stars in their own right, however, as the “real” Hopkins helped unveil an exact replica of himself – a wax figure created by the Ripley’s Believe It or Not! F/X department – to the amazement of the large media contingent gathered at the event.

 

The “real” Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins, the oldest fighter to ever win a major world championship and a long-time Ripley’s fan, spent two days in July having a full body wax casting made as the first step in the creation of his likeness. The one unveiled today will be a part of a future Believe It or Not! exhibit of Hopkins at one of the worldwide Believe It or Not! Odditoriums.

 

Ripley’s decided to create the figure of Hopkins and to honor him as a living Believe It or Not! following his unbelievable victory over the younger, then World Champion Jean Pascal in May. During the 1930s and 1940s one of Robert Ripley’s favorite subjects to write about and illustrate was boxing and the decision to honor Hopkins reflects the company’s rich heritage and tradition in that sport. It also continues Ripley’s uncanny practice of being able to find the most amazing and unbelievable people, places, things and accomplishments around the world.

 

A second wax figure of Hopkins is nearly finished and will soon travel to Philadelphia where it will be put on display in Hopkins East Coast home.

 

To download high resolution photos of the waxing process, visit Ripley’s Newsroom.

“It is a great honor to be recognized by Ripley’s and I look forward to having the figure in my trophy room alongside my belts and other boxing memorabilia,” Hopkins noted. “I am going to put it under a beautiful light, but it is not going to be too hot for fear of melting my better half.”

 

Hopkins, a future Hall of Fame two-time light heavyweight champion and former undisputed middleweight champion, at 46-years old became the oldest fighter in boxing history to win a major world championship with his unanimous decision victory over 28-year-old Pascal on May 21, 2011.  He broke the previous world record set by former heavyweight champion George Foreman 16 years ago – Believe It or Not!

 

The Hopkins wax figure will be a part of most fight-week activities, including the official weigh-in, set to be held in front of the Hollywood Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Odditorium on the corner of Hollywood Blvd. and Highland Ave. on Friday, Oct. 14 at 2:00 p.m. It will be on temporary display at that museum on Sunday afternoon free for the public to view.
