    Robert Easter, Javier Fortuna, Marcus Browne & Adam Kownacki Media Conference Call Transcript & Audio Recording Lou DiBella Thanks for joining us. Greetings from the blizzard in New York City. I know that Marcus Browne and Adam Kownacki are both local right now, so they’re experiencing this insanity with me, and I guess a lot of you are also. So we’re going to try to warm up this blizzard afternoon and talk boxing for a little bit. Errol Spence versus Lamont Peterson, terrific fight Saturday, January 20, 2018 on SHOWTIME, 9 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT, presented by Premier Boxing Champions and of course at the beautiful Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Tickets for the event are priced starting at 50 bucks, and they can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com, BarclaysCenter.com, the box office at Barclays Center or by calling 800-745-3000. We have a terrific undercard, and we’re going to talk to the principals on that undercard on this call. We’re going to start with two gentlemen that are going to be in two fights that are going to start our televised evening off on SHOWTIME Sports YouTube channel and SHOWTIME Boxing’s Facebook page. Marcus Browne, 20-0, 15 KOs in Staten Island, New York, coming off a sensational knockout of Seanie Monaghan, rated Number 3 by the WBC, 7 by the WBA, 6 by the IBF, 4 by the WBO. One of the rising stars at light heavyweight, making his 12th appearance at the Barclays Center and pretty much fighting and waiting out his chance for a huge fight and a world title fight that will be coming, I think, shortly in 2018.

    PHOTOS AND QUOTES FROM BROAD STREET BOXING PRESS CONFERENCE JENNINGS VS. TUPOU & KENNEDY VS. BELMONTES Teon Kennedy and Bryant Jennings Photo Credits :John DiSanto PHILADLEPHIA - A press conference was held to officially announce the next installment of the NBC Sports Network "Fight Night" boxing series. On December 8, 2012, a Philly-centric fight card will take place at Temple University's Pearson / McGonigle Hall on Broad Street in North Philly. The NBCSN broadcast will begin at 9PM ET. North Philly native and #5 heavyweight contender Bryant Jennings, 15-0, 7 KOs, takes on Bowie Tupou, 22-2, 16 KOs, of Tonga, in the 12-round main event with Jennings' USBA heavyweight title on the line. The 10-round junior lightweight co-feature bout is an intriguing face off between North Philadelphian Teon Kennedy, 17-2-2, 7 KOs, who's coming off a world title challenge, and the undefeated Texan Jerry Belmontes, 17-0, 5 KOs. Kennedy is moving up in weight for the fight. From the lobby of the fight venue, Hall of Fame promoter J Russell Peltz, a Temple University Grad, conducted the press conference, and along with Jennings and Kennedy spoke about the upcoming blockbuster event promoted by Main Events, Peltz Boxing, Goossen Tutor and BAM Boxing. J Russell Peltz with Temple Owl Photo Credits: John DiSanto J Russell Peltz: "This building opened in 1969 and I've been a (Temple Basketball) season ticket holder ever since. But I never thought I'd be promoting a fight here, certainly not on national television. "Fight Night" is probably the most successful boxing series going right now on television because the fights are actually competitive.

  • Oscar “Kaboom” Rivas on Special Mission to Become Heavyweight & Bridgerweight World Champion
    Oscar “Kaboom” Rivas on special mission to become heavyweight & bridgerweight World Champion QUEBEC CITY, Ontario, Canada (March 24, 2021) – Fresh off his recent third-round stoppage of Sylvera “Sly” Louis in their rematch, World Boxing Council (WBC) No. 1 rated bridgerweight Oscar “Kaboom” Rivas (27-1, 19 KOs) is on a special mission to not only become the first bridgerweight world champion but capture the world heavyweight crown as well. A 2008 Colombian Olympian, Rivas is currently rated as the WBC’s No. 1-rated contender in the bridgerweight division (-224 lbs.), and No. 9 in The Ring magazine’s heavyweight rankings. Prior to his rematch with Louis, Rivas hadn’t fought in 20 months due mainly to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Never- the-less, “Kaboom” remained professional, training throughout his ring absence, and now he’s positioned to fight for the inaugural WBC bridgerweight title. “I love this sport,” Rivas said from his Montreal home. I dedicate my life to boxing. I never stopped training because I love it and I can’t live without it. I am an athlete! The pandemic didn’t make things easy for me or anybody else, especially for a natural heavyweight like me. “In the ring, I am having fun, and that’s what drives me. After I was able to knockdown my opponent (Louis) in the first round, my coach asked me to take advantage of the opportunity to box because I hadn’t fought in 20 months. I hadn’t stepped in the ring and that’s what I enjoy every minute of.” Even though he’s on the precipice of winning his first world title, as a bridgerweight fighter, Rivas will not be fully satisfied without becoming a 2-division world champion.

  • Boxing: Rising Stars Expected to Shine Bright in NYC
    Boxing: Rising Stars Expected to Shine Bright in NYC Author : Robert D. Cobb This Saturday, HBO Boxing will be live from the city that doesn’t sleep, New York City, as Top Rank Promotions will be presenting a doubleheader of two rising stars in the sport of boxing. Omaha’s finest, Terence Crawford, steps into the ring and defends his WBO junior welterweight title on the line against Philadelphia’s own, Hank Lundy, and also in what will be the fight that gets the crowd most hyped, the face of the future of Puerto Rican boxing, Felix Verdejo, will be facing off against William Silva. Terence Crawford (27-0 with 19 KOs) is a highly skilled boxer that is one of the new rising stars of the sport. He has dominated every one of his opponents, he has put on good live shows in his hometown of Omaha, and most importantly, he seems to want to be “The guy”. Crawford has taken a step back this year from the run he was on in 2014 when he faced, and beat, Ricky Burns, Yuriorkis Gamboa, and Raymundo Beltran, and was mentioned in everyone’s list as a fighter of the year candidate. However, since then, He has faced 2 opponents in Thomas Dulorme and Dierry Jean that really got no buzz and has someone halted the rise he was having. Given the fact that the 140 lb division may not be as full with names as the 147 lb welterweight division, Crawford may be forced to dispense with the guys in front of him as fast as possible and move up by the start of 2017.
