This Saturday night at Ballys in Atlantic City, undefeated Light Heavyweight sensation Lavarn “Baby Bowe” Harvell will look to thrill the hometown fans when he takes on Mojeed Okedara in a six round bout.

Harvell, 11-0 with six knockouts has scored three straight knockouts with the last two being two of the more vicious stoppages in recent memory when he stopped Anthony Pietrantonio on April 28^th and Brian Donahue on June 13^th in the 3^rd and 1^st rounds respectively.

The Atlantic City native’s knockout was a featured photo in the New York Times that was seen throughout the world.

“The knockouts are a product of being in shape and prepared to fight”, said Harvell

“I am definitely improved and the knockouts are coming because I am just letting my shots go and not forcing anything”

Okedara of Nigeria will be making his American debut and has a record of 9-5 with eight knockouts.

“The fact that all I know is he is from a Africa makes me train harder because I don’t know much about him”, continued Harvell

Harvell will be fighting in from of his hometown fans in Atlantic City for the ninth time and it inspires him knowing that there will be a lot of fans cheering for him.

“I am always excited to fight in Atlantic City and I am always looking to put on a good show”

RZA and Tarantino Joint Kung Fu Movie Project Features Cung Le

The shared obsession of academy award winning director Quentin Tarantino and Wu Tang Clan member RZA has materialized into an upcoming film featuring UFC middleweight Cung Le and other insanity.

According to the recently released official trailer above, The Man with Iron Fists apparently casts academy award winner Russel Crowe as a cowboy in feudal China, professional wrestler Dave Batista as Colossus, as Lucy Liu as Han from Enter the Dragon. While there is currently little information available on Cung Le’s part in the story, IMDB lists him as playing a character called Bronze Lyon. Since long-time action movie staple Byron Mann is playing the character Silver Lion, it can be safely deduced that this movie will be an orgy of violence and 1970′s call backs that makes absolutely no sense.

At a budget estimated near 20 million dollars, The Man with Iron Fists is the third biggest film that Le has appeared in, behind Pandorum and Tekken*.

Mike Tyson: MMA Fighters Need to Get Paid More

Mike Tyson went from the baddest man on the planet to the most interesting man in the world.

At least one of them.

There are seemingly no bad interviews with the former heavyweight champion.

On this one with Ariel Helwani of the MMA Hour, Tyson pushes for MMA fighters to make more money.

MMA VIDEO: White breaks up Sonnen-Silva staredown

And when that happens to then watch out for the predators.

"Nothing personal to nobody, they gotta be (expletive) millionaires," Tyson says. "They gotta get the (expletive) money they deserve. How is (MMA) going to be bigger than boxing if they don't have cash? These guys need to be multi-multimillionaires. They need to have their big (expletive) mansions, their big cars and if not, they should be able to take care of their family. They should be able to live without fighting no more."

The downside to the money are the leeches says Tyson. A subject he discusses in the interview with UFC president Dana White.

"They ain't get the scumbags yet," Tyson said. "Let their purses be in the paper like my purses were in the paper and Floyd(Mayweather)'s. Wait until the scumbags get in that sport."

Don King Congratulates Mexican President-Elect Enrique Pena Nieto The People’s Choice. The People’s Champion. And Don King’s Champion

American-Mexican promoter Don King sent congratulations today to Enrique Pena Nieto for winning Sunday’s election to become the new president of Mexico.

King met the 45-year-old president-elect last June while in Mexico and was greatly impressed.

“Pena Nieto is the people’s choice and the people’s champion in Mexico, and he has my heartfelt congratulations,” King said.

“In the words of Father Miguel Hidalgo, ‘Mexicanos, Viva Mexico!’ In the spirit of Hidalgo, Pancho Villa, Emiliano Zapata and Benito Juarez comes Enrique Pena Nieto, a tried and true representative of the Mexican people, a leader who loves and cares about the people he represents.

“When he takes office, I know there will be a rebirth of boxing in Mexico. Mexicans are fighters inside the ring and outside the ring, and I look for a bigger, better and brighter future for all Mexicans. Viva Enrique Pena Nieto! Viva Mexico!”

Pena Nieto will succeed Felipe Calderon as the 19^th Mexican president since the Mexican Revolution concluded in 1920. He had served as governor of the State of Mexico from 2005 through 2011.

Holyfield Happy To See Changes In Old Rival Tyson, By Scoop Malinowski

15 years ago the two gladiators were arch rivals, slugging it out in the infamous “Bite Fight” in Las Vegas in late June 1997. Now Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield are on far friendlier terms.

Holyfield attended Tyson’s acclaimed one-man show in Las Vegas in April and recently shared complimentary words about Tyson to sports columnist George Willis in the June 30 edition of The New York Post. “It’s a great thing when people can make fun of themselves,” said Holyfield of Tyson. “That means they’re over it. If you’ve had issues in your life and (you are) trying to hide them, it scares you because you don’t want anybody to know and you act like you haven’t made mistakes.”

Holyfield told Willis that he sees Tyson, once world-renowned as “the baddest man on the planet”, as having evolved to become an inspiration for all people to improve their example. “I tell people all the time, Mike probably can change more people than anybody because people will look at Mike and say, ‘If Mike can change, I can change.’ Now he’s letting it all go.”

Interestingly, Holyfield suggested the pressures and stresses of the ring may have played a hand in deforming Tyson into the bad guy role he once seemed happy to portray. “Everybody was always telling (Mike), all you need is to be tough. Then everybody liked him for how tough he was but nobody liked him for the person he was. All the sudden he was trying to be ‘Iron Mike’ the whole time instead of being ‘Iron Mike’ when he was in the ring and a different person when you’re out of the ring. If you don’t know how to switch those things, you’re going to burn out.”

Tyson’s long-time close friend Mario Costa attended all six of Tyson’s stage performances in Las Vegas and observed Holyfield’s positive reaction in the audience from a few seats away. Costa told me, “Holyfield really enjoyed seeing Mike on the stage, he was smiling and laughing throughout the show. The expression on his face showed that he seemed really happy to see Mike having success and doing something well that is different than boxing. He looked really happy for Mike.”

Tyson’s one man show will open on Broadway at the Longacre Theater in New York City on July 31 and run through August. Originally scheduled for six shows, due to enormous success, an additional six dates have been added. “Undisputed Truth”.

Mike Tyson causes ticket scramble, Broadway run extended

Spike Lee-directed one-man show now ends August 12

Mike Tyson and Spike Lee have the hottest ticket on Broadway. After announcing last week Lee will direct Tyson in his upcoming one-man show, “Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth,” fan response was immediate. To accommodate the demand for tickets, lead producer James L. Nederlander has announced that the show will extend its run with six additional shows.

Originally slated to run for a limited six-night engagement from July 31 to August 5, the show will now play through Sunday, August 12.

RESULTS FROM FIGHTS FOR FREEDOM‏

Salita Promotions in association with The Fight Factory Gym presented sanctioned seven amateur fights plus one exhibition fight on Sunday evening July first at the gym. A crowd of local fans enjoyed every minute of the three round bouts as they cheered their hearts out. The theme for the show was Fights for Freedom in memory of the events of 40 years ago at the Munich Olympic Games when eleven Israeli athletes and coaches, plus a German police officer were murdered by terrorists after being held hostage.

About midway through the show everyone stood for the traditional ten count for those murdered in 1972. Remedy performed a rap number about the tragedy of the Holocaust and the Munich Games. Just before the final fight a dance troop made up of young ladies entertained with some upbeat steps.

“It was a great show,” said Welterweight contender Dmitriy Salita. “We had a nice crowd, and we had great fights. Remedy performed, there were dancers and State Senator David Storobin was here as well. We had celebrities in the crowd. It was all about entertainment. We want to do this again and do it often. We want the fighters to build a fan base with the crowd. It’s what it’s all about and I think we have something here.”

With the help of sponsors some of the proceeds from the evening will go to benefit boxing gyms in Israel. We want to extend a thank you to The Abramson family, Sushi Meshuga, radio/TV show host Aaron Braunstein, , and David Feld King of Diamonds. Their help made this show possible.

Gabby Douglas Looks to be Olympic Games Heroine

*Gymnastics is going to be a beautifully stunning event this coming Olympic games as 16-year-old Gabby Douglas garners support from across the nation to be picked to represent the U.S.

Following in the footsteps of Dominique Dawes, Douglas has been dubbed the flying squirrel for her graceful movements and charming personality.

Critics and fans are looking to Douglas to carry the torch of the next big Olympic star, not to mention she’s the black community’s next Olympic heroine.

Although she’s a crowd pleaser now, the athlete says she was once a bit bashful.

“I used to be sooo shy,” she said with a giggle. “Now I’m like, ‘Lah, lah, lah. Lah, lah, lah. … I’m just ready to go out there and perform. I’m so ready to take on this journey.”

And what a journey it will be.
