Dmitriy Salita Talks About Paulie Malignaggi and His WBA Title‏

RING ZONE: Your fight with Paulie Malignaggi has been talked about for a long time. You both won the Golden Gloves the same year and turned pro the same year. What do you think about the potential of a fight between you and Paulie happening in The Barclays Center in Brooklyn?

A: A fight between Paulie Malignaggi, 31-4 (7 KOs), and myself is a natural for NYC and Brooklyn and has been in the works for a long time. It will be a special electric night of boxing. Everywhere I go people stop and talk to me about the fight. There is a great energy in the city surrounding this event.

RING ZONE: Paulie has speed & skills but lacks a big punch, what do you expect from him?

A: Paulie is a very good boxer. He has better power then people give him credit for. He uses his legs to get in and out and his jab is his main weapon. Paulie just won the title, his confidence is high so I expect him to be aggressive and engage in a fight with me. I am hungry to win my first world title. It will be a very exciting fight. Paulie and I sparred as amateurs and when we first turned pro, so I am familiar with his style. It will be guns blazing.

RING ZONE: While you are 33-1-1 (17 KOs), and was ranked number one in the WBA some of your critics say you do not have that many big names on your record, what do you say?

A: I feel it is unjust that my critics try to diminish my accomplishments and my struggle in the sport. Throughout my career a lot of big fights that I signed for never came to fruition. This was completely outside of my control! I remember spending ten weeks in training camp and finding out about two weeks before my fight with Andrea Kotelnik for the WBA Jr Welterweight title that he pulled out. Unfortunately this has happened too many times in my career. People that follow my career either love me or hate me. People say, ‘Who have you fought?’ My answer to that is, I have faced a lot of tough men but when I try to step up and fight someone of note and the fight falls through I get criticized; that does not make sense! I have never gotten opportunities like most other top fighters. I am definitely a victim of an undeserved bad rap. Because of what I look like and the way I present myself people think that I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth. That could not be further from the truth. In my life and career it has been blood, sweat and tears ever since I started boxing at the age of thirteen. I gave my life to boxing and worked hard to build my career.

I want my chance to prove myself. America is a great country; the land of opportunity and I am waiting for my opportunity in a world title fight. The fight with Paulie," The Battle of Brooklyn" is it. I guarantee that I will prove my world class stature.

RING ZONE: How big do you think this fight will be in a Brooklyn venue, the Barclay CTR?

A: The buzz has begun, it will be huge! I do well at the gate fighting anyone. A fight with Paulie for the world title in Brooklyn will sell out in only days.

RING ZONE: You said that you want a tune up. Are you arranging that?

A: Yes I am working on getting a tune up fight.

RING ZONE: He is with Golden Boy; do you see that as a problem?

It’s no problem at all. I want to make the fight. Golden Boy knows that. I reached out to them and told them of my interest.

Eddie Chambers, Talks:Heavyweights Collide Tomasz Adamek vs Eddie Chambers

Fast" Eddie Chambers, who has also lost to a Klitschko, is also coming off of a unanimous decision win over Derric Rossy. However, that was his only fight in 2011, and he only fought once in 2010 as well. Some say that the lay off gives Adamek an advantage, while others say it just makes Chambers more Hungry. A win over a star like Adamek would put Chambers in a good position, and perhaps put him more on the radar for bigger fights.

Chambers is seen as the better boxer, with more technical ability, and speed. But Adamek might just chase him down, and bring the fight to Chambers. Adamek believes that his speed will win the fight for him; Chambers thinks the same for himself

Mike Tyson says he's 'getting back in the ring', whatever that means ...

Hall-of-Fame Induction Would Be Final Accolade On Impressive Career of Ray Mercer‏

Inside the squared circle Ray “Merciless” Mercer has accomplished things that most fighters dream of but will never see come into fruition. In addition to winning a Gold Medal at the 1988 Olympics, Mercer has held the WBO and NABF Heavyweight titles, and has gone to battle with countless future hall of famers.

This past weekend Mercer was a special guest to the inductee ceremony at the International Boxing Hall of Fame—a place the fighters hopes he will be returning to soon to see his name join the legacy of so many who have contributed to the sweet science.

“This past weekend was awesome; being there and seeing Tommy Hearns, Al Bernstein, Mark “Too Sharp” Johnson, Michael Katz, Michael Buffer and Freddie Roach get inducted into the hall of fame. It was one of the best experiences of my life,” said Mercer.

“Getting inducted into the Hall of Fame would complete my career,” said Mercer. I’ve won the Gold Medal and heavyweight championship, but that would truly be great. It would make my parents, friends and fans all over proud.”

Retired from the gloved sport since 2008, Mercer has been actively working with Find A Dream—a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization that reaches out to community children and provides them a healthy channel to find and work towards fulfilling a dream—the boxer has been working hard to spread awareness about the importance of providing a sanction for inner city kids to work toward a positive goal.

In recent months Find A Dream has been focusing on putting together an all-star team to help spread awareness throughout the country and help enrich the lives of inner city youth by providing them with boxing, martial arts, computer and educational programs. They recently have secured a building for their newest facility which they will be opening up shortly in South Carolina, and are focusing their efforts on opening up several other locations.

Mercer shares company with an elite team at Find A Dream, UFC legend and Hall-of-Famer Dan “The Beast” Severn, cruiserweight boxer Bobby Czyz, heavyweight KO artist Don Steele and actor Quinton Aaron, amongst several others.

In 2012 Find A Dream is striving to continue to expand and impact the lives of children throughout various communities. Find A Dream plans to spread their word through boxing and MMA events, car shows, cook-offs, concerts and more in hopes of reaching out to communities and bringing awareness of the necessity to work towards enriching the lives of our youths.

Find A Dream is a nonprofit organization unlike any other. We have partnered with professionals to deliver on our promise of positive change in young lives.
