Two-time world title challenger and top rated junior middleweight Delvin Rodriguez and Star Boxing's Joe DeGuardia attended the Final Press Conference yesterday in Orlando, Florida just two days ahead of Rodriguez's battle with three-division world champion Miguel Cotto set for this Saturday, October 5 at the Amway Center and broadcast Live on HBO^®.

Delvin Rodriguez:

"I'm just enjoying every second of this because this is an opportunity that I earned. I got to this opportunity the hard way. After so many years of hard work, one bad decision after the other, tough fights, I'm just thankful to God that I'm here. There was a time when I said forget about boxing, forget this, this isn't for me anymore, but I said I'm not going to throw so many years of my life away after so much hard work. So I'm glad I stuck with it and thanks to God I'm here."

"This is my time, my turn to win. I have enjoyed every second of this promotion. Every fighter has a defining moment in his career. For me, my career takes a big turn for greatness on Saturday night, I will beat Cotto."

Joe DeGuardia, President of Star Boxing:

"Throughout his entire career Delvin has been a warrior, always battling in the ring. Along with the sensational battles with Wolak that everyone knows about, he's also fought numerous times overseas and on the road where he's been the victim of hometown scoring in some very close battles."

"Come Saturday night the fans in this beautiful city of Orlando and those watching on HBO are going to see a tremendous fight. Delvin is in terrific shape and ready for the biggest fight of his career."

The Miguel Cotto/Delvin Rodriguez 12 round super welterweight battle will be seen in over 180 counties across the globe.

Cotto and Rodriguez boast a combined record of 65-10-3 (46 KOs) -- a winning percentage of over 83% and a victory by knockout ratio of 71%.

Main Events announced today that they have signed an exclusive promotional contract with South African light heavyweight Isaac Chilemba, 20-2-2, 9 KOs. The 26 year old Chilemba was born in Malawi and has fought the majority of his bouts in South Africa.

Nicknamed "Golden Boy", Chilemba turned professional in 2005, and won several African titles during his eight years in the ring as a 168 and 175 pounder. Chilemba's collection of championships include the African Boxing Union super middleweight title, the WBO Africa light heavyweight title, African Boxing Union light heavyweight title, WBC International light heavyweight title, the IBO super middleweight title, and the WBC International light heavyweight title.

Chilemba holds victories over perennial contender Edison Miranda (W10), then-undefeated Maxim Vlassov (W10), and dangerous trial horse Rayco Saunders (W8), all in the United States. In his last two bouts, Chilemba went 24 rounds in the UK with Liverpool Bomber Tony Bellew (D12, L12), in bouts for the WBC Silver light heavyweight title.

With his excellent international experience and solid record, Chilemba is likely to quickly break into the talented top-tier of the current light heavyweight scene.

Chilemba said, "I am pleased to be with Main Events and I look forward to getting back in the ring. Everything happens for a reason."

"Isaac gave Maxim Vlasov, Thomas Oosthuizen and Doudou Ngumbu their first loss. All three are world rated fighters today. Also, arguably, he should hold one win over Tony Bellew, as they fought to a draw in Liverpool earlier this year . Isaac's most impressive fights occurred during times when he was very active. We believe that the combination of activity and the exposure he will receive fighting on the NBC Sports Network will create the right environment to bring out his full potential," said promoter Kathy Duva. "We are excited to work with Isaac, his manager, our long time friend, Damian Ramirez, and his co-manager, Jodi Soloman." 

Chilemba is expected to make his first start under the Main Events banner before the end of the year.

THE 2ND RAGING BABE BRUNCH SPONSORED BY MAYWEATHER PROMOTIONS HONORS EXTRAORDINARY WOMEN IN BOXING - See more at: http://www.mayweatherpromotions.com/news/mayweather-promotions/the-2nd-raging-babe-brunch-sponsored-by-mayweather-promotions-honors-extraordinary-women-in-boxing/#sthash.4nTr96JX.dpuf

THE 2ND RAGING BABE BRUNCH SPONSORED BY MAYWEATHER PROMOTIONS HONORS EXTRAORDINARY WOMEN IN BOXING

The 2nd Raging Babe Brunch sponsored by Mayweather Promotions took place on the morning of the highly anticipated mega fight “THE ONE: MAYWEATHER VS. CANELO” at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The vision behind this intimate event was to create a foundation for building a powerful network of women in the sport of boxing in addition to recognizing some of its influencers.

Alongside its theme of uniting influential woman in the sport of boxing, the brunch honored special guest Kelly Swanson of Swanson Communications for her hard work and drive which ultimately led to her becoming one of the most highly respected people in her field. Through 25 years in the sport, she’s worked with names from Riddick Bowe during his heavyweight title run to Bernard Hopkins and 10-time champion in five different weight classes Floyd “Money” Mayweather. Swanson’s experience in developing and implementing full-scale public relations and marketing campaigns, multi-tiered corporate promotions, and managing award-winning events has been unparalleled, and Saturday’s brunch became her platform to be recognized for her many contributions as she was presented with the Meritorious Achievement Award by boxing great, Bernard Hopkins.

 The intimate gathering included 40 phenomenal women who have stood out as leaders and supporters that created a significant role in boxing for themselves while opening the doors for many others. Guests enjoyed mimosas upon entering the chic and elegant decorum with a gourmet feast set for a queen. Each table participated in team building activities and had the opportunity to win prizes such as exclusive designer clutches, show tickets, dinner vouchers, gourmet sweets, & weekend getaways at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino.

Following the success of the inaugural Raging Babe Brunch, which took place on May 4th of this year, it was decided that this remarkable event was not only necessary but positively influential in bringing women that have stood out as leaders and supporters in the boxing world together. “The first Raging Babe Brunch was so special, women involved in the sport of boxing were able to gather together, cross paths, and begin creating a network to impact the sport of boxing together,” said Raging Babe CEO Michelle Rosado. “Being a prominent supporter of these events and Raging Babe’s overall vision is something that Mayweather Promotions is proud to be involved with, said Mayweather Promotions CEO, Leonard Ellerbe. What Raging Babes is doing is a great thing and we’re happy to be involved.” As the Raging Babe brand continues to expand and venture into projects across the globe, you can plan on seeing a lot more of these events.
