Unbeaten featherweight prospect Tyler Asselstine returns Sept. 9 in Montreal
Posted on | August 27, 2011 | No Comments
TORONTO (August 27, 2011) – Hot, unbeaten featherweight prospect Tyler Asselstine returns to the ring September 9 in a six-round bout against an opponent to be determined at The Chapiteau CCSE Maisonneuve in Montreal.
After concluding a stellar amateur career (70-10), the 24-year-old Asselstine (6-0, 4 KOs) from Kingston, Ontario, turned pro only 10 months ago and he hasn’t slowed down. His rich amateur pedigree includes being a member of the 2009 Canadian National Team, representing his country in International matches, as well as capturing the 2010 Ringside World Championships.
“I started boxing at 18,” Tyler explained. “I was a kick-boxer before that. I started boxing because I wanted more competition and once I did I couldn’t stop.”
Hennessy Sports has kept Asselstine active, winning six fights in a relatively short period, and preparing for his fifth appearance in Montreal. In his last fight, Tyler won a unanimous six-round decision from Leonos Marie Francoise (8-4) this past June in Ontario.
“I’m very happy with the way Hennessy Sports has moved me,” Asselstine said. “I fought a lot as an amateur and have had six fights in less than a year as a pro. My job is to box and I train twice a day.
“I’ve fought a lot in Montreal, first as an amateur, and now as a pro. I’m excited to be fighting there again. I like the support there from my friends and family. Montreal really is like my second home.”
Asselstine also said he has studied several fighters but the one he tries to emulate is another fellow southpaw, IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute, who has become a boxing icon in Montreal.
Considered one of Ontario’s best all-time boxing prospects, naturally, his promoter is very high on his budding star and possible “Bute-light” of the future. “We’re excited about Tyler’s boxing future,”Adam Harris said. “He’s a tremendousprospect with a lot of upside as a professional. He has completely dominated his first six opponents and, at 24, his best days are obviously still a long way ahead of him. Tyler already is a complete fighter who lacks only pro experience and in that respect, we’re keeping him as busy as possible.
“Hennessy Sports is fortunate to sign Tyler because he was actively pursued by many of the leading North American promoters. Tyler’s grounded and instead of relocating, he wanted to remain based at home in Ontario. We believe that Tyler Asselstine is the real deal and a superstar in waiting. He’s also building quite a fan-base in his second home, Montreal, where he fought last April on the (David) Lemieux-(Mario Antonio) Rubio card.”
Asselstine’s fight will be streamed live on www.GoFightLive.TV. The pro action starts at 7:30 PM/ET.
Other members of the Hennessy Sports Canada stable include undefeated NABA lightweight champion WBA #11 rated Logan Cotton McGuinness and WBC Silver welterweight titlist welterweight Victor Lupo.

UFC® 134 CO-MAIN EVENTER BRENDAN SCHAUB HAS THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME
Posted on | August 27, 2011 | No Comments
Team Palooka sponsoring competitor for PPV bout
In relation to thousands of fighters in the sport of MMA, few ever get to compete in the main event or co-main event of a UFC® event. It’s the dream of every fighter to do so. Today, at UFC® 134, Brendan Schaub has the opportunity to knock off a true legend when he faces Antonio Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueira in the co-main event. And he’s confident in the result of the fight.
“The fight this weekend means everything…this is the biggest moment in my career. I’m so pumped, It’s gonna be a war, but in the end, I’ll have my hand raised in victory.”
Yet, Schaub’s confidence hasn’t overridden his respect for his opponent.
“’Minotauro’ is a legend, and I’m going to show my respect by fighting harder than ever.”
Sponsoring Schaub for this opportunity is the “Joe Palooka” comic book series. The 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 in team matches between fighters representing countries such as the U.S., the U.K., Brazil, Russia, Japan, China, and other nations. And don’t be surprised if you end up seeing some of your favorite MMA fighters, including Brendan Schaub, featured in the “Legion of Combat” comic book series along the way.
“It’s amazing to be a part of pop culture representing the sport I love. Being a pro athlete and a comic book hero is every kid’s dream, including mine. I’m so blessed to be in this position.”
When asked what kind of comic book character he’d like to be, Schaub’s response was simple.
“One of the good guys, for sure.”
Fans can go to the Joe Palooka page on Facebook, and follow @TeamPalooka for more information!
