Inaugural Maltese Professional Boxing Event Announced

Posted on | August 1, 2011 | No Comments

Earlier today the President of the Malta Boxing Commission, former Olympian Alexander Zammit, made the historic announcement that the MBC are to sanction the inaugural professional boxing event in the Republic of Malta.

The Micallef Promotions event, which will take place in October, will be co-headlined by WIBA World title and WBF Inter-Continental title bouts. Supporting the main events will be an eight bout undercard that will include at least four contests featuring Maltese boxers.

On making the announcement Mr. Zammit said, “This is a truly historic moment for Boxing and for the Republic of Malta.

This will be the first time that a professional boxing event has been sanctioned in the Maltese Islands.

It is just a few months that the Malta Boxing Commission have existed, as a legally recognised professional boxing sanctioning organisation, and we are proud that this historic event will be taking place within our first year.

We had made it clear that we wanted the first professional boxing event, to be held here, would be a special event and with both the World Boxing Federation and Women’s International Boxing Association coming on board with title fights, it will definitely will be.

We are very hopeful that, should a budget be available, a European title will also feature on the show. To this end the Malta Boxing Commission Vice-President Mr. Gianluca Di Caro will shortly be making approaches to potential sponsors.

This may seem to be an unusual move for a sanctioning organisation to be involved in raising finances for an event, but from day one we had stated that we would do whatever we can to assist promoters that choose to hold events here in Malta.

We are particularly pleased that the event will involve four Maltese boxers, two who are licensed by the British Boxing Board of Control and two Malta Boxing Commission licensed boxers, who will both be making their professional debuts at the the event.

Full details of the event, including venue, participants and of course the date of the event, will be made within the next fourteen days.”

LONNIE SMITH WINS AGAIN – ADDED TO FALLON FIGHTS

Posted on | July 31, 2011 | 1 Comment

July 31st, 2011, Las Vegas — Super-featherweight “El Negro Mexicano”, “Lightning” Lonnie Smith improves to 14-2-2, 10 KOs via a 3rd round TKO victory over the game Eduardo Arcos (16-4-1, 13 KOs) on Friday night at the South Point Hotel/Casino in Las Vegas.

Once again, the always exciting Smith, gave the fans in attendance and those watching on television, a non-stop, action fight. After a close first round where both fighters traded shots, “Lightning Lonnie” began to land a series of uppercuts. Those shots, along with a series of other combinations, and Lonnie’s overall pressure prevented Arcos from answering the 4th bell.

Smith, fighting in his hometown of Las Vegas, also displayed his popularity as the venue was filled with many of his fans. Lonnie is a rising star in the 130 lb division, and he continues to grow his local fan base. Just like the Magdaleno brothers (Diego and Jesse), Smith is a local who can put butts in seats in Sin City.

Up next for Smith is a six or eight round bout on this year’s “Rural Rumble”  in Fallon, NV on August 27th.  Smith dazzled fight fans with his knockout win over Lowell Brownfield there last year. Details on Smith’s opponent for that show will be announced soon.

Tickets are available by calling 775 423 4556. Advance tickets are $10 children (ages 6-17) $12 adults; at gate $12 children $15 adults; $50 ringside, $500 for VIP tables. All bouts subject to change.
