Maloney Fully Behind Price in Rematch with Thompson MALONEY FULLY BEHIND PRICE IN REMATCH WITH THOMPSON SAN DIEGO, CA (July 2, 2013)—Promoter Frank Maloney has been around a long time and has seen it all. This past February 23rd, he watched with the rest of the boxing world, the shocking upset of his prized fighter David Price (15-1, 13 KO’s) getting stopped in the second round with former two-time world title challenger Tony Thompson’(37-3, 25 KO’s) in Liverpool, England. This Saturday in the very same ring, Price will get his chance at redemption when he squares off with Thompson in a highly anticipated rematch that can be seen live all over the United States on Wealth TV and www.wealthtv.com beginning at 2:30 pm Eastern / 11:30 am Pacific. Maloney who has been in boxing for over thirty years enlisted the services of his most accomplished pupil in Hall of Famer and former Heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis to help guide and mentor Price as he prepared for the very important contest. “I am looking forward to this fight”, said Maloney when reached in Liverpool during a promotional appearance for Saturday’s big show. “Lennox Lewis working with David is a blessing. If he can take in just 25 % of what Lennox has instilled in him over the last 4 or 5 weeks, David Will be a new fighter” Maloney has seen his share of resurrection projects over the years knows that the events of February 23rd should not have deflated hope in Price’s aspirations to become Heavyweight champion. “I believe that one loss doesn’t make a bad fighter. You cant make or break career off of 1 loss.” Maloney looks at Lewis, who suffered a stunning knockout loss to Oliver McCall only to come back and become one of the greatest Heavyweights of all-time “That fight was just a derailment” Saturday’s show will also include two British title bouts pitting Darren Hamilton and Adil Anwar for the Jr. Middleweight title and a battle of undefeated Flyweights when exciting Kevin Satchell takes on Ian Butcher. “The Viewers are in for a treat as there is more at stake in this fight.” A Price win gets him back in line to face one of the Klitshcko brothers while Thompson would like a third crack at Heavyweight glory. nationally on Verizon FiOS TV channel 169 and 669 in HD, AT&T U-Verse TV channels 470 and 1470 in HD, along with over 100 cable systems across the country as well as on line viewing on numerous connected devices and via www.wealthtv.com.

JESSE VARGAS MEDIA CONFERENCE CALL TRANSCRIPT OSCAR DE LA HOYA, Chairman and CEO of Golden Boy Promotions: Welcome, everyone, to the Luis Ortiz, Tony Thompson and Sadam Ali and Jessie Vargas media conference call. These will be two exciting matchups taking place on March 5th at the DC Armory in Washington D.C. Fresh from a stunning knockout of Bryant Jennings and obviously eager to continue his quest to be the best heavyweight in the sport, WBA heavyweight world champion, Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz will make his first title defense of 2016 when he faces former world title challenger Tony “The Tiger” Thompson who is 40-6 with 27 knockouts. It will be the main event in the 12-round fight for the WBA interim heavyweight title on March 5th.

  • Tony Thompson and Odlanier Solis Weigh in for Rematch in Turkey
    Tony Thompson and Odlanier Solis weigh in for rematch in Turkey Boxing fans had to wait for a long time to finally see the rematch between US ring veteran Tony Thompson and former Cuban amateur standout Odlanier Solis. This Friday (Feb. 27th) Thompson and Solis will finally step into the ring in Antalya, Turkey. Both fighters not only arrived on the site but also went over the scale on Thursday afternoon. Thompson weighed in at 261 lbs. (118 kg) while Solis brought 272 lbs. (123 kg) to the scale. On March 22nd 2014 “La Sombra” Solis was looking to get in line for another shot at the world heavyweight championship by beating the American gatekeeper. But the mission failed when Thompson, a two time world title challenger against Wladimir Klitschko, shocked Solis and got a well deserved split decision win. The “Tiger” proved to the world that he can still bite at the age of 42. One year later – and after numerous postponements – Solis and Thompson meet again in a long anticipated rematch. Of course, the Cuban wants to make up for the loss instead of being surprised by Thompson a second time. “That loss still hurts”, says “La Sombra”. “I am very happy that I finally get the chance to get back at him.” But Thompson obviously knows how to beat the Cuban. “I will do exactly what I did last time – kick his a**”, states the American. Promoter Ahmet Oner is convinced that the winner of the bout will fight for the world championship soon. “Both guys are rated in the top 15 by the WBC.
