Barthelemy Homecoming Vs. Usmanee to Headline Night of ESPN Boxing in Magic City Barthelemy Homecoming vs. Usmanee to Headline Night of ESPN Boxing in Magic City On Friday, January 4, 2013, Warriors Boxing and Bad Dog Productions in association with the Magic City Casino will proudly present the year’s debut broadcast of the popular professional boxing series ESPN’s Friday Night Fights (10 PM Eastern on ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes, online through WatchESPN.com, and on smartphones and tablets via the WatchESPN app.) live from Stage 305 in the Magic City Casino in Miami, Florida. The 12-round super featherweight main event will feature towering Cuban dynamo Rances “Kid Blast” Barthelemy (17-0, 11 KOs), currently ranked #5 in the world by the IBF, who will look to continue his undefeated run against fellow undefeated prospect and Afghani-Canadian Arash Usmanee (20-0, 10 KOs), who is ranked #8 in the world by the WBA. In the co-featured televised bout, a couple of tough junior middleweight contenders will tangle, when young Puerto Rican powerhouse Jonathan “Mantequilla” Gonzalez (15-0-1, 13 KOs) takes on highly regarded Philadelphian Derek “Pooh” Ennis (23-3-1, 13 KOs). Cuban-born 26-year-old hometown favorite Barthelemy is one of three Barthelemy brothers who are now professional fighters. His younger brother Leduan (2-0, 2 KOs) and his older brother, 2004 Olympic Gold medalist Yan (12-3, 4 KOs), are both fighting in the Super Bantamweight division. Standing an imposing 5′ 11″ for a 130-lb fighter, Barthelemy’s size is a huge obstacle for opponents to overcome. In the biggest fight of his career last March in Las Vegas, and televised on ESPN, Barthelemy took a unanimous decision over formerly undefeated fellow prospect Hylon Williams, prevailing by scores of 80-72 and 79-73 twice. 30-year-old Arash Usmanee is a five-time national amateur champion in his adopted home of Canada. He was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, and moved to the Canadian Province of Alberta when he was only three years old, after his father was killed in a bombing. World rated Usmanee has already won the NABA and WBC Continental Americas Championships as a professional. He has relocated his base of operations to Montreal, Quebec. 23-year-old Gonzalez is a former amateur standout and a 2008 Olympic representative for Puerto Rico. As a professional, the heavy-handed slugger has already won the NABO and WBA Fedelatin Junior Middleweight Championships. Identified as one of boxing’s hottest young prospects, and ranked #6 in the world by the WBA and #10 by the WBC, Gonzalez has continued doing well in the ring while stepping up the competition. In his last fight, the San Juan native fought to a disputable draw with recent world light middleweight champion Serhiy Dzinziruk (37-1-1). The fight was broadcast nationally on HBO and further established Gonzalez as a top 154-lb contender. 32-year-old Ennis won the USBA Light Middleweight Championship in 2009 with a furious 12-round decision over Nigerian Olympian Eromosele Albert. Ennis has collected three “Fight of the Year” accolades in the Philadelphia boxing scene, most notably his vanquishing of current IBF#1, Philly’s Gabe Rosado in a 12-round instant classic. With lightning-quick hands that crack like thunder, Ennis can be elusive, but has been known to win grueling brawls. “We are really excited to start off our 16th season of Friday Night Fights on January 4 with a solid main event down in Miami, which will be a hub of excitement leading up to the BCS a few days later,” said Doug Loughrey, director of programming and acquisitions at ESPN. “It is an honor to be putting on this year’s premier broadcast and, clearly, it’s a solid night of action-packed boxing between four world-class fighters hungry to step up to the next level. The Magic City Casino is a beautiful destination in Miami and we’re looking forward to putting on an unforgettable night of boxing,” said Leon Margules, President of Warriors Boxing. “Magic City Casino is thrilled to be the host site for the season opening event of ESPN’s Friday Night Fights. The new venue will be packed and the main event featuring two world ranked undefeated fighters is sure to be a battle to remember,” said Scott Savin, Chief Operating Officer of Magic City Casino. “We are delighted to showcase “Kid Blast” in Miami once again and to inaugurate the first sporting event at the spectacular new venue at the Magic City Casino” said Richard Dobal, managing member of Bad Dog Productions.” Barthelemy has had success at their outdoor facility, but the new indoor arena is a sight to behold. Bad Dog and Warriors Boxing expect ‘Stage 305’ at the Magic City Casino to become the ‘Mecca for boxing’ in Miami.” The undercard, which will be announced shortly, will feature several young local and international rising stars. Tickets go on sale today and can be bought on the Magic City Casino website www.magiccitycasino.com as well as in person at the Magic City Players Club. They are priced at $100, $75, $50 and $35.

HOLLYWOOD, FL. (June 3, 2016) - Undefeated lightweight world champion Rances “Kid Blast” Barthelemy (24-0, 13 KOs) will make his first title defense against former world champion Mickey “The Spirit” Bey (22-1-1, 10 KOs) in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on Spike Friday, June 3 Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Hollywood, Florida. Televised coverage begins at 9 p.m. ET/PT “There were rumors that a fight between me and Mickey Bey was on the brink of happening prior to my fight against Denis Shafikov, so now that it is here, I know it was destined to happen,” said Barthelemy. “I’m not a rookie anymore. I’m not going into this worried or nervous about it being my first title defense at 135. I’m comfortable enough now to see every fight as just another challenge I need to execute my game plan the most effectively and with the least amount of errors.” “Barthelemy won my title, I had to vacate it due to a hand injury, so all he is doing is keeping it warm for me,” said Bey. “Training camp is going great. I have been training hard for over a month. I have the best team in the business, with the most knowledgeable trainers. I’m looking forward to the challenge with him being undefeated and a two-time world champion.

  • Top Contender Arash Usmanee Lands Huge Opportunity in Pacquiao Vs
    Top Contender Arash Usmanee Lands Huge Opportunity in Pacquiao vs. Bradley 2 Co- Main Afghani-Canadian super featherweight contender Arash Usmanee (20-1-1, 10 KOs) will step into the highest-profile fight of his life on short notice and face WBO #1 ranked Raymundo Beltran (28-6-1, 17 KOs) for the WBO NABO Lightweight title this Saturday, April 12, in the co-main event of the HBO Pay- Per-View card featuring the Timothy Bradley vs. Manny Pacquiao rematch at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. An extended illness suffered by former two-time world champion Roman “Rocky” Martínez forced him to cancel, creating the huge opportunity for Usmanee, who was already in the gym preparing for another fight. Promoted by Top Rank, in association with MP Promotions and Tecate, Pacquiao vs. Bradley 2 will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View beginning at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT. Pacquiao vs. Bradley 2 tickets, priced starting $435, are now available for purchase at Ticketnetwork. To charge by phone with a major credit card, call Buy Tickets Center at (855) 859-4045. Usmanee is ranked #9 at super featherweight by the IBF. Born in Kabul, Afghanistan, he and his family moved to Alberta, Canada, when he was three years old. He now resides in Las Vegas, Nevada. The aggressive 32-year-old’s career has been marred by controversy thus far, as his two biggest career fights have both ended with questionable outcomes. In his only defeat, Usmanee dropped a highly controversial 12-round decision to Rances “Kid Blast” Barthelemy on January 4 of last year.

  • Arash Usmanee Returns to Action Defeats Durable Veteran Juan Ruiz in Edmonton
    Arash Usmanee Returns to Action Defeats Durable Veteran Juan Ruiz in Edmonton Last Friday night (June 13) at the Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, one of the world’s best super featherweights, Afghani-Canadian Arash Usmanee (21-2-1, 10 KOs) returned to action with an eight-round decision over California’s Juan Ruiz (23-13, 7 KOs). In the ring for the first time since his brave showing against WBO #1 ranked lightweight Raymundo Beltran in April, Usmanee fought off frustration over Ruiz’s veteran tactics to clearly win seven rounds. Usmanee’s promoter, Greg Cohen of Greg Cohen Promotions, says he was happy to see the Ruiz fight serve its purpose. “Ruiz has gone the distance with a long list of top fighters and, true to form, he gave Arash eight rounds of work. One of the judges scored it a draw, but the other two were watching the fight and gave Arash a wide decision.” The victory puts Usmanee back into contention at his natural weight of super feather. Against Beltran, Usmanee started out quite well, but fighting on short notice against a larger opponent, he eventually tired and dropped a unanimous decision. “Arash deserves another shot at the super featherweight championship and that’s what we’re after,” continued Cohen. “He beat Rances Barthelemy everywhere but the scorecards and had a draw against the then-champion Argenis Mendez. Those are the top two guys in the IBF at 130 lbs. We’re going to keep him busy and wait for the winner of the upcoming Barthelemy vs.
