ACHMAD TUBA, ISRAELI-MUSLIM, TO MAKE HIS PRO DEBUT AT THE LEGENDARY BLUE HORIZON ON FRIDAY NIGHT, MAY 15TH

PHILADELPHIA— In the forty-plus years that boxing has taken place at The Legendary Blue Horizon, there have been many combatants that have fought in the ring that have interesting stories.

On Friday night May 15th, Achmad Tuba, who will be will be making his pro debut in a four round Jr. Middleweight bout , has an incredible story with beliefs that can give everyone hope for world peace.

Tuba, 21 years-old from the religious part of the world in Nazareth has persevered and has fought through more then most.

Tuba comes from an upbringing of poverty where he would sleep on dirt floors who found work in construction in the Holy Land.

Three times a week, Tuba makes a two and one-half hour trek to Tel Aviv, Israel to hone his boxing skills. He would spend multiple days at the gym as he would sleep in the ring until the next day’s training would begin.

Those aspects show what kind of dedication that Tuba has to become a professional boxer but the fact in a part of the world where Muslims and Jews do not get along to say the least, Tuba shows that there is a chance for world peace as Tuba, who is Muslim is embraced and is trained by a team of Jewish fighters in Tel Aviv.

Tuba has gone so far to say that he considers that team made up of promoter Ran Taal and undefeated cruiserweight Ran Nakash as his family. In fact it will be Nakash, who is a commander in the Israeli Army and also Tuba’s best friend, who will work his corner as he makes that pro debut on May 15th.

The card is promoted by Vernoca L. Michael and Blue Horizon Boxing Promotions Inc.

In the Main event, Knockout sensation, Joey “Minnesota Ice” Abell (23-4, 22 KO’s) makes his return to The Legendary Blue Horizon when he takes on Billy Willis (12-13-1, 9 KO’s) of Houston in a eight round Heavyweight bout.

JOEY ABELL TO MAKE HIS RETURN ON FRIDAY MAY 15TH AT THE LEGENDARY BLUE HORIZON

PHILADELPHIA—On Friday night May 15th one of the biggest punching Heavyweights will make his return to The Legendary Blue Horizon

Joey “Minnesota Ice” Abell will be back at The Blue Horizon in a scheduled eight round bout against an opponent to be named shortly.

Carmody, 10-11-1 with one knockout is itching to get back in the win column as he is 0-4 with one no-contest since May of 2007

Carmody is coming off a six round stoppage defeat to Meacher Major (15-3-1) on February 20 in Buffalo. This fight will be Carmody’s second appearance at The Legendary Blue Horizon. Carmody had Steve Upsher Chambers in trouble as he dropped the then 17-1-1 Chambers in round one of his eight round unanimous decision defeat back on September 12, 2008.

Maldonado has a gaudy record of 21-2 with thirteen knockouts.

Maldonado has scored a couple of signature wins as he scored a ninth round stoppage over former world title challenger Whyber Garcia (13-1) to capture the NABA Featherweight title on February 28, 2004.

TEAM BRUNELLI THROWS DOWN THE GAUNTLET AND PREDICTS VICTORY OVER NAKASH ON APRIL 3RD AT THE LEGENDARY BLUE HORIZON

PHILADELPHIA)— In a recent interview with www.phillykeith.com, cruiserweight Dave Brunelli along with his ubiquitous manager Mike Murphy guaranteed that Brunelli would be the first man to defeat undefeated Isreali Cruiserweight sensation, Ran Nakash on April 3rd at The Legendary Blue Horizon.

The card is promoted by Vernoca L. Michael and Blue Horizon Boxing Promotions Inc.

Brunelli, of Northeast Philadelphia has a record of 8-4 with three knockouts and is moving down to cruiserweight to take on one of the hottest fighters around.

Brunelli and his team are unfazed about the record and as a matter of fact they believe his record is extremely padded.

“I don’t understand why I am the underdog”, said Brunelli.

“He hasn’t fought anyone.”

Murphy went on to tell www.phillykeith.com, “We love being the opponent and Nakash will feel the power.”

“I’ll be damned if I let a guy from Israel take over the Blue Horizon and on April 3rd the “0” must go.”

On April 3rd the talking will stop and this bout has all the making of some of the great ethnic boxing matches of the past when fights between Jewish and Italian fighters were very common.

If that isn’t enough a packed has been put together and an old school Philly Turf war will take place as Tyric “Too Sweet” Robinson takes on Julius “Marvel” Edmonds in an eight round Jr. Welterweight bout.

Robinson, who is a corrections officer, has a record of 9-3-1 with three knockouts and is coming off an eight round unanimous decision loss to the undefeated Jason Cintron on October 17th at The Legendary Blue Horizon.

Edmonds has a deceiving record of 4-3 but his tough as nails style has endeared him to Philly fight fans early in his career.

Edmonds is always in his opponents face and has won two in a row which includes his last outing in which he scored a six round unanimous decision over then undefeated Linwood Hurd on February 6th at The Legendary Blue Horizon.

Also seiing action on April 3rd will be Legendary Blue Horizon favorite, middleweight Gee Cullmer.

Cullmer, 15-1 with three knockouts will fight in an eight round bout against an opponent to be named shortly.

In Cullmer’s last fight on September 12th, he engaged an in eight round war with Jameel Wilson for which Cullmer walked away with the split decision in what many are calling the “2008 Philly Fight of the Year.”

In a six round Super Featherweight bout, Joselito Collado of Queens, New York returns to The Legendary Blue Horizon when he takes on Jason Rorie in a bout scheduled for four rounds.

Collado, 6-0 with two knockouts has one Legendary Blue Horizon appearance that took place last October 3rd where he won a unanimous decision over David Orosco in a bout that was a toe to toe war over four rounds.

Rorie, 2-2-1 with one knockout was able to stop Cano two bouts ago. In his last bout, The Winston-Salem, North Carolina native fought to a six round draw with Juan Nazario (6-1) on February 27th.

Marcus Bioncani will be back at The Legendary Blue Horizon as he will risk undefeated (3-0, 3KO’s) record when he takes on debuting Archambo Tuba of Israel.

Bianconi of Houston, Texas surprised some when he made his Legendary Blue Horizon debut when he scored a second round stoppage over John Turner. Since then, Bianconi scored a first round destruction over Nelson Roldan on February 25th in Lyndhurst, NJ.

Hot welterweight prospect Ronald Cruz of Bethlehem, PA will look to stay undefeated in a four round welterweight bout when he takes on an opponent the be named.

In his most recent outing, Cruz (3-0, 2 KO’s) scored one of the most vicious one-punch knockouts when he nearly decapitated Russell Cloak in one round on March 13th.

In a four round bout, Taneal Goyco (1-0, 1 KO) will battle Davit Davitashvili in a battle of Philadelphia-based Cruiserweights.

Derrick Bivins of Philadelphia (1-0-1) will take on an opponent to be named in a scheduled four round Super Featherweight bout

These fights will be streamed live all over the world on www.gofightlive.tv

BLACKWELL TO FACE SAMUEL ON FRIDAY JUNE 6TH AT THE LEGENDARY BLUE HORIZON; Step-up fight for undefeated Featherweight highlights a big night of boxing

Philadelphia, PA- On Friday night, June 6th, undefeated Featherweight, Jules Blackwell will be in with his toughest test as he takes on Tyrell Samuel in an eight round bout that will headline a big night of boxing promoted by Vernoca L. Michael and Blue Horizon Boxing Promotions Inc.

Blackwell of Phoenixville, Pa is itching to get back in the win column after two consecutive draws with the most recent being against Jae-Sung Lee on March 15th at Madison Square Garden. That bout was an exciting back and forth tussle which many ringsiders thought the decision could have gone either way.

Jules Blackwell


The twenty-seven year old Blackwell brings in a record of 7-0-2 with two knockouts and is 7-0 at The Legendary Blue Horizon. In his last Blue Horizon appearance, Blackwell was very impressive in taking a unanimous decision from then undefeated Paul Fernandez last December 7th.

Like Blackwell, Samuel was unblemished until his last two fight.

Samuel of Baltimore had amassed a record of 9-0 until being stopped by Jose Hernandez in four rounds last April 7. Samuel then received a coveted spot on the highly popular SHO BOX series as he took on top prospect Eric Hunter.

Samuel fought well but came up just short and dropped the unanimous decision to the Philadelphia native.

Samuel, twenty-eight years old is 9-2 with five knockouts and holds a win over Tim Witherspoon Jr. and two wins over Carlos Vinan (who defeated Hunter). This will be Samuel’s first appearance at The Legendary Blue Horizon.

One of the co-feature bouts will be an eight round middleweight affair between Blue Horizon fan favorite, Gee Cullmer and Anthony Little.

Cullmer of Philadelphia has a record of 14-1 with three knockouts and has fought his last nine bouts at The Legendary Blue Horizon which includes his last outing where he scored a six round unanimous decision over Mustafah Johnson.

Little of Akron, Ohio has a record of 7-10-1 with one knockout has fought solid opposition such Andre Berto, Pawel Wolak and James McGirt Jr. He is coming off a draw with George Klinesmith (23-13-3) on February 16th.

Steve Upsher Chambers makes his return to The Legendary Blue Horizon when he takes on the straight forward style of Jaime Morales in a six round Jr. Welterweight affair.

Eddie Chambers and Steve Upsher Chambers


He has a record of 16-1-1 (1 NC, 4 KO’s) and has fought every one of his fights at The Legendary Blue Horizon except for one fight.

In his last bout, Chambers scored an easy unanimous decision over late-replacement, Jean Petit Homme on April 11th at The Legendary Blue Horizon.

Morales of Philadelphia is a come forward fighter who always is involved in action packed affairs. He has a record of 4-7 with two knockouts and is looking to get back in the win column after being stopped by undefeated Daniel Hartvig in Gothenburg, Sweden on March 27th.

An exciting undercard is being put together that will feature four undefeated fighters in separate bouts:

Fresh off his exciting pro debut on April 11th at The Legendary Blue Horizon, middleweight, Mario Mina (1-0, 1KO) will be back in action in a four round bout.

Undefeated cruiserweight, Ran Nakash (12-0. 8 KO’s) will make the trek from Israel to make his fifth appearance at The Legendary Blue Horizon.

New York based middleweight, Defferson LeGrand (3-0, 2 KO’s) and Super Featherweight Gerald Smith (2-0, 1 KO) of Philadelphia will appear in four round bouts.

Smith will be making his third straight appearance at The Blue Horizon with his most recent outing being a 2nd round stoppage over Jose Guerrido on April 11th.

Rounding out the card will be returning Jr. Middleweight, Orlando Lewis (4-1, 4 KO’s) of Vineland, New Jersey. Lewis will be back in the ring after a twenty-two month lay off. He started his career with three straight knockouts at The Blue Horizon.
