  • Cardiff Council Cyngor Caerdydd Executive
    CARDIFF COUNCIL CYNGOR CAERDYDD EXECUTIVE BUSINESS MEETING: 3 NOVEMBER 2011 WORLD BOXING CONVENTION 2013 (WBC) REPORT OF CHIEF OFFICER (CITY DEVELOPMENT) AGENDA ITEM: 11 PORTFOLIO : TRANSPORT & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Reason for this Report 1. To enable Cardiff to host the World Boxing Council Convention 2013 and approve appropriate budgets to assist in developing the event programme. 2. To attract a World Title bout and Convention which will have an economic impact of up to £3.2m in the city economy 3. To enhance Cardiff’s reputation as an international sports capital and to generate significant global media exposure to promote the city on an international stage. Background 4. Over the last decade Cardiff has built an international reputation for the successful delivery of high profile sporting events, including; the Rugby World Cup; the FA Cup and Heineken Cup Finals, the Ashes Test and the Ryder Cup. Alongside this the city has developed a world-class sporting and visitor destination infrastructure. In recognition of this Cardiff was recently awarded the status of European Capital of Sport. 5. It is recognised that this programme of major sporting events has led to significant benefits for the city economy, including: attracting tourists and the additional consumer spend they bring into the local economy; world- wide media coverage and profile; increased civic and national pride and encouraging increased participation in sporting activities. 6. The World Boxing Council Night of the Champions and World Boxing Convention therefore represent significant opportunities for Cardiff to build on its established platform and to expand into a new events market, with the ultimate aim of becoming a recognised location for major boxing events.

  • British Heavyweights Rule the World, Says Hatton
    BRITISH HEAVYWEIGHTS RULE THE WORLD, SAYS HATTON RICKY HATTON believes the mouth-watering clash between Daniel Dubois and Nathan Gorman proves the strength of British heavyweight boxing. Dubois (11-0, 10KOs) and Hatton trained Gorman (16-0, 11KOs) meet for the vacant British championship in one of the most significant domestic fights in recent years at The O2, London on Saturday July 13, live on BT Sport. The winner will go soaring up the world rankings. And with both men in their early twenties promoter Frank Warren insists he will rebuild the loser and get him back on the title trail. Tyson Fury is the lineal champion and Anthony Joshua holds the IBF, WBA and WBO belts, to leave Hatton gushing: “What a time to be a British heavyweight boxer.” “On the world stage we’re up there and domestically there is world class potential. “It wasn’t so long ago few people knew who a British heavyweight was. Now we have so many. “People ask; ‘Why is Nathan against Daniel happening for a British title? It’s a little bit too soon ,’and maybe it is with the amount of fights they’ve had. “But, if you win a British title these days it is more prestigious than it was in years gone by and that is no disrespect to anyone. “There are British heavyweights at world level like Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte. Then you have Dereck Chisora, Dave Allen, Daniel Dubois, Joe Joyce and Nathan. “If you win the British title you’ve earn’t it because there are so many great fighters out there.

Born and raised in Manchester, Fury weighed just 1lb at birth after being born three months premature. His father John named him after Mike Tyson. From Irish traveller heritage, the“Gypsy King” is undefeated in 28 professional fights, winning 27 with 19 knockouts, and drawing once. His most famous victory came in 2015, when he stunned longtime champion Wladimir Klitschko to win the WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles. He was forced to vacate the belts because of issues with drugs, alcohol and mental health, and did not fight again for more than two years. Most thought he was done with boxing forever. Until an amazing comeback fight with Deontay Wilder in December 2018. It was an instant classic, ending in a split decision tie. Outside of the ring, Tyson Fury is a mental health ambassador. He donated his million dollar purse from the Deontay Wilder fight to the homeless. This book is dedicated to the cause of mental health awareness.

  • Roy Jones Jr. to Face Mike Tyson in Historic "Exhibition Match"
    November 23, 2020 SEVILLE QUARTER CONTACT: BUCK MITCHELL MARKETING & ENTERTAINMENT DIRECTOR [email protected] 850-434-6211 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ROY JONES JR. TO FACE MIKE TYSON IN HISTORIC "EXHIBITION MATCH" PENSACOLA, Fl. – Get ready for the most anticipated fight in the history of boxing, reminiscent to professional bouts featuring immortal fighters like Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. Roy Jones Jr., 51 and Iron Mike Tyson, 54 enter the ring against each other for an eight-round “Exhibition Fight” at The Staples Center in Los Angeles (without fans in attendance). The fight will be shown on PPV at Seville Quarter in Downtown Pensacola (Jones’s hometown) on Saturday, November 28, 2020. The fights, including undercard fights, will start at 8pm. Jones (66-9), former four-division World Champion challenges Tyson (50-6), former undisputed Heavyweight World Champion. The fight is scheduled to take place on Thanksgiving weekend, November 28, 2020. The bout is officially sanctioned by the California State Athletic Commission with the WBC Frontline Battle Belt on the line. The Jones-Tyson comeback fight is labeled an ‘Exhibition,’ but that does not mean it is solely for entertainment purposes. The two boxing legends doubled down and are taking this fight very seriously. The fight already has Jones fired up as Tyson talks about looking for a knockout. Jones is looking forward to his chance to fulfill a bucket-list moment and testing his skills against Tyson. The one question Jones says he always hears from people is, "have you ever fought Mike Tyson?" He says "now I don't have to say 'no' no more." Jones is still taking the fight seriously.

  • Coyle: I'll Make History in Leeds
    COYLE: I’LL MAKE HISTORY IN LEEDS Tommy Coyle says he will make history in by becoming the first British champion from Hull when he challenges Tyrone Nurse for the Super-Lightweight title at the First Direct Arena in Leeds on July 30, live on Sky Sports. Coyle clash with old amateur foe Nurse is his second fight at 140lbs having made the move from Lightweight in May over six rounds in Manchester. The 26 year old had some memorable moments at 135lbs with his epic fight of the year clash with Daniel Brizuela, brutal second round KO win over Michael Katsidis and stadium showdown with Hull rival Luke Campbell MBE, but Coyle is happy that his first shot at the Lord Lonsdale belt is at a weight that he feels suits him best. “I feel brilliant at Super-Lightweight,” said Coyle. “I’ve been 9st 9lbs since I was 16 years old. When Tyrone and I boxed as amateurs I was 9st 9lbs then and that was ten years ago. That extra five pounds on fight night is going to be a huge difference, I don’t have to take it off in the last week so I think I will be a completely different animal at the weight and you’ll see the difference in the fight. “It’s the prettiest belt out there and it’s every young fighters dream to fight for the British belt. It holds a lot of credibility and I’m really excited to be fighting for it, so I’ll be leaving everything in the ring on July 30.
