Boxing has always made for great drama. There are few moments in sport as exciting as the culmination of a great fight. Victory or defeat is decided by one final round. The crowd rising, the tension building, the fighters tapping sources of pride and energy they didn't know existed. It's the stuff that legends are made of.

The movie industry has been borrowing from that legend for decades. Now there is a place where both worlds collide. The International Boxing Film Festival will provide a venue for the presentation of classic and emerging boxing films, geared to the passionate fans of both art forms. "We are very excited to launch the inaugural International Boxing Film Festival in New York City," said Festival Director Gary D. Morgan. "We are thankful that the School of Visual Arts has agreed to host the event in their fine theatre. Some of the greatest films in history have been about boxing and we are challenging filmmakers to contribute to that fine tradition." The festival will take place over two days - Nov. 30-Dec. 1 - at the SVA Theatre at333 West 23rd Street in New York City. We are now accepting submissions from all over the world. To read the guidelines for film submission, please visit our web site: www.internationalboxingfilmfestival.com <http://www.internationalboxingfilmfestival.com> . "I am very proud of the stellar advisory board that has been assembled for the festival," said Morgan. "Our group includes World Champions, actors and members of the boxing media. We know that the fans of both film and boxing will appreciate the presence of these unique individuals, who are the heart and soul of the sweet science." The International Boxing Film Festival Advisory Board is made up of: Mark McPherson (Honorary Chairman), Michael Bentt, Mark Breland, Bobby Cassidy Jr., Chris Cassidy, Brian Doogan, John Duddy, Steve Farhood, Juan Laporte, Melvina Lathan, Holt McCallany, Seamus McDonagh, David Schuster, Bruce Silverglade and Vinny Vella.

Delgado and Hudson-Webb Talk About New Promotion!

Delgado Boxing Promotions, in Association with Mezereon Management,

will be promoting their first show on July 21, 2012, at The Buckhead Theatre. “This opportunity could not come at a better time,” stated Paul Delgado. After winning the WBF North American Title in December of 2011, Paul has not been back in the ring. “I continued to train, hoping for an opportunity to come my way. When things didn’t connect, I focused more on my gym. I’ve

been working with my clients and boxers, and I did some interviews with CNN to promote my business. My goal was always to start my own promotion in my hometown to give back to the community, but I never expected it to happen this soon.” In the months that followed Delgado’s North American title championship, the phone began to ring with calls interested in acquiring Delgado on cards away from home. Although the fights paid well they were on short notice. Delgado’s interest was not in the monetary gain only. He wanted to fight again in front of his hometown crowd and fans. He also wanted to follow the path of his WBF championship back in December. Taking all his options into consideration, Delgado decided it was time to make a move on his promotion albeit sooner than he had anticipated. Delgado’s manager, Lisa Hudson Webb of Mezereon recalls. “I remember Paul calling me one day very excited saying, ‘Let’s just go ahead and do this. Let’s promote our own show and I’ll defend my WBF title in my own backyard.’ He was ready to move on it, he’s been thinking about it for a while, so we’ve put it in motion.” Not only does the debut of ATL Boxing feature a title bout between Delgado and Mike Ruiz, the show spotlights some of the best undefeated talent in the Southeast. The card carries seven professional bouts, including one of Georgia’s favorite female boxers, Jackie Breitenstein. Three of the boxers on the card have a combined record of 31-0: Jared Robinson (10-0), Michael Seals (11-0), and Brian Howard (9-0). In action will also be, local Mexican mega attraction Jesus “La Sombra” Tavera (4-1), Tim “The Boss” Hall, and Jose Felix. All of which have fought some of the toughest boxers in the area. With the caliber of boxers together on one card, no one is going to leave disappointed by any of these performances. There will be a short intermission show of three outstanding amateur boxing bouts: Yusef Shabazz, Elijah Shabazz, and a special Delgado Boxer, cancer survivor Lionel Harris.

Rhodes to Zuhdi: “Step Up and Fight Me”!‏

Lightweight up and comer Lydell Rhodes is sick of hearing about interstate rival Noah Zuhdi.

The reigning catBOX champion, Zuhdi, 15-1 (12 KO’s), is wildly popular in his hometown of Oklahoma City and receives a good amount of press to go along with his fanfare. Rhodes doesn’t think he deserves it.

“I know Noah’s a smart guy because he’s also a lawyer,” said Rhodes. “I’m currently college but the difference between us is that I’m a fighter who goes to school and he’s a lawyer that happens to box. The problem is he goes around Oklahoma claiming he’s the best. If you think you’re the best, prove it!”

Rhodes, the HD Boxing titlist, also believes there is no use in waiting to make it happen since both men are from the same state and fight in the same weight class.

“Only one of us can be the best 135 pound fighter in this area, so we should get in the ring and fight. We all know that you’ve been fighting a bunch of guys with no pulse and people are sick of seeing mismatches. I’m ready to fight and it’s on his team to make this happen. People ask me about fighting Zuhdi and I’m tired of biting my tongue about the fight. If it did happen, I’d stop him without a doubt because he’s not on my level. As a matter of fact, if he went the distance with me but still lost, I’d give him my purse and we can put that in the contract!”

Under the guidance of Floyd Mayweather Sr. Rhodes is a perfect 10-0 with 5 wins by knockout. Earlier this year, Rhodes scored a dominant 8 round decision over experienced Ira Terry (24-7) and is looking to take another step in the right direction. The Spencer native, who fought seven of his ten bouts in OKC under the HD Boxing Promotions banner, has the support of his team in making the highly anticipated title bout against Zuhdi.

“We would love to make the fight with (Zuhdi’s promotional company) catBOX Entertainment,” stated Bobby Dobbs of HD Boxing. “Both fighters have titles in Oklahoma and fight for the crowd. With that said, Zuhdi isn’t remotely on Lydell’s level and I’d love to see him prove what we both believe!”
