GOLDEN BOY PROMOTIONS SIGNS BRAZILIAN OLYMPIC BRONZE MEDALIST YAMAGUCHI FALCAO

A 2012 Olympic Bronze medalist and one of the most promising boxers to ever come from the country of Brazil, Yamaguchi Falcao will begin his journey toward professional gold as a member of the Golden Boy Promotions team, the Los Angeles-based promoter announced today.

"Yamaguchi Falcao is a top-tier talent and a major signing for us," said Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions. "He has the skill and charisma to become a star and with the entire country of Brazil behind him, the sky's the limit for him."

"I'm honored to be signed with Golden Boy Promotions and I appreciate the faith they have in me," said Falcao. "I promise to train my hardest and fight my best to one day become a world champion."

"The signing of Yamaguchi Falcao is a extremely exciting to me," said Rolando Arellano, Manager of Falcao, "I have had the pleasure and honor of managing the first Brazilian Boxing Olympian in 44 years. This is a historic and epic moment for all and now we move on to the pros. We will use this as an opportunity to rebuild boxing in Brazil."

A native of Vitoria, Espirito Santo, Brazil, Falcao was born into combat sports, as his father was a former mixed martial artist who gave his son the first name of his Japanese trainer, Yamaguchi. Along with his brother Esquiva, Falcao entered the world of amateur boxing, hoping to one day escape the poverty they grew up around.

After facing the likes of "Sir" Marcus Browne, Shawn Estrada, and Ronald Gavril, Falcao fought his way to the brink of the 2012 Olympics at 160 pounds, but with his brother also weighing 160, he decided to move up to eight pounds to avoid possibly fighting Esquiva. The fighting Falcao brothers both went to the London Games, with Esquiva winning a Silver medal and Yamaguchi a Bronze, marking the first time in 44 years that a Brazilian boxer had won an Olympic medal.

The two became instant heroes in Brazil, receiving accolades from the President as well as state politicians. Yamaguchi stayed with the AIBA for a year and has he now decided to toss his hat into the pro ring in an effort to follow in the footsteps of Brazilian greats Eder "Gallo de Oro" Jofre and Acelino "Popo" Freitas.

A date and venue for Yamaguchi's professional debut will be announced at a later date.

BOSTON'S FAVORITE, DANNY "BHOY" O'CONNOR IN ACTION SATURDAY NIGHT IN PHILADELPHIA TAKES ON FORMER WORLD CHAMPION VICIOUS VIVIAN HARRIS IN THIRD FIGHT IN LESS THAN THREE MONTHS

On Saturday night, the pride of Framingham, MA, Danny "Bhoy" O'Connor (23-1, 7KO's) will return to action for the third time in less than three months when he takes on former world champion "Vicious" Vivian Harris (30-9-2, 19KO's) in the 10-round welterweight main event bout at Electric Factory in Philadelphia, PA. 

The event will also feature a live performance by the world-renowned and extremely popular Dropkick Murphys, whose leader singer Ken Casey, is the manager of O'Connor. Both main event fighters will weigh in tomorrow afternoon, with the weigh-in being shown that evening during the halftime of the Philadelphia Flyers and Phoenix Coyotes NHL game.

"Once again Danny is doing great things for this charity," said Casey, who is promoting the event on Saturday night in association with his foundation, The Claddagh Fund.  "I am super excited to see him as the main attraction for the first time outside of New England. Philadelphia has taken to Danny like he is one of their own and we are really looking forward to this great event on Saturday night."

"I'm very excited to box in Philadelphia, as it's such a great city with so much sports history. It's always a pleasure for me to be a part of any Claddagh Fund charity event. After an amazing training camp, I'm physically and mentally ready, in the words of Jonny Gomes from the Sox,  'I'm time-tested, battle-tested, it's time to put my hard hat on and go to work,'" said O'Connor.  

"Danny's taking on a real veteran in Vivian Harris and we're looking forward to a great performance," said Lou DiBella. "We're pleased that Danny is fighting on a card that benefits the Claddaugh Fund and we thank Ken Casey and the Dropkick Murphys for all their help." 

The two-time national amateur champion and 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Alternate O'Connor has had a busy 2013 thus far.  The bout on Saturday will be his fifth of this year and third in less than three months.  O'Connor, now campaigning at welterweight, is looking to propel himself into the world ratings in the loaded 147lb. division in 2014, but he must first get by the former WBA light welterweight world champion Harris.

The event is being promoted by Dropkick Murphys, The Claddagh Fund, DiBella Entertainment and Green Blood Boxing, in association with Guardian Restoration and A-Plus Public Adjusters.

WBO Middleweight World Champion Prepares for Title Defense Against "King" Gabriel Rosado on Saturday, Oct. 26 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING^®

WBO Middleweight World Champion Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillinput on a clinic today for media members at his gym in Santa Monica, Calif. as he prepares for his title bout against top contender "King" Gabriel Rosado taking place Saturday, Oct. 26 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. Quillin vs. Rosado will precede the title fight between future IBF Light Heavyweight World Champion Bernard Hopkins and top-rated contender Karo Murat.

 The undefeated rising star worked out for well over an hour on the speed bag and heavy bag as well as several 12-minute rounds hitting the mitts with trainer Eric Brown.

Peter Quillin, WBO Middleweight World Champion

"[Gabriel] Rosado presents his own challenges. He's coming to win my world title. I have something that he wants, so I have to respect him for that. We have to put our friendship aside.

"Going into the fight, I have to take myself to a whole another level as far as my work ethic.   I'm doing a lot more than I ever have. I've had tremendous training [camp]. Now I have to prove what my hard work does, like I always have, by just going in there and trying my best.

"I don't feel that I'm underrated. I know I have my share of supporters. But I also know that I'm still looking for that clear, career-defining performance against the kinds of guys I can get the credit for fighting.

"So, until then, until I'm in with those kinds of guys, I can't really say I've accomplished anything that would make me feel like I'm the guy that gets all the credit.

"Yeah, I beat Winky Wright, and, yeah, I beat some guys with good records, but beating another world champion is something I really want to do. I feel that once that superstar fight comes along and is on the line, then that's when the credit will come my way.

"I would love to fight any of the top guys.

"I didn't come in here picking and choosing who I want to fight.   I have a good team behind me. They make sure when it comes to me proving myself with, that I do my part and they do their part by making the best fights out there for me.

"When there is something unexplainable, like what I am doing, people are going to talk about it.

"I have had 11 knockdowns in my last three fights. I only had 15 amateur fights. People see or hear about those knockdowns and they have a lot to say about it.   'If you hit so hard and have so much power, why don't they just stay down?'   But that is not up to them to tell us why they got back up from a punch and fought on. It is up to the guy that I am fighting. The more times you get up, the more times I am going to try to knock you down.

"This will be my fourth fight on SHOWTIME. I really appreciate having them behind me. Exposure-wise, it has obviously been a big boost for me. When I walk the streets in New York City I get recognized.

"SHOWTIME is the network where all of the great fights are being made. The biggest fighter in the world, Floyd Mayweather fights on SHOWTIME. To be connected to someone that is from my hometown of Grand Rapids just like me, is fantastic.

"The most important thing for me is to go out there and inspire people to do things that they never imagined. Whether it is a boxer, a writer or an architect. I didn't have a lot of role models growing up, but it's what's in yourself that counts. And that is what I am trying to get across.''

Eric Brown, Quillin's Trainer

"Peter has really grown up a lot since winning the title, having the title and defending it successfully. It has really boosted his confidence. He's a much more composed fighter. He's true to himself.

 "Since becoming champion he's really begun to believe in himself more than ever.

He's always had the confidence that he could win, but winning the title has confirmed it. It has made the job harder for him but it has also made him work harder.

"He's matured into a real professional. I have had him for about three years and he has always been a great young man to work with. He pretty much does everything I ask. The more I ask the more he gives. There is no limit to how far he can go. It's all on him. I would love to see him get the opportunity to unify the division and then up to 168 pounds and unify the division there too.''

Paulie Malignaggi To Face Zab Judah In Battle Of Brooklyn On December 7 At Barclays Center!'

Paulie Malignaggi (32-5, 7 KO’s) will be facing Zab Judah (42-8, 29 KO’s) on December 7th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, according to Showtime’s Al Bernstein. On the undercard will be welterweights Keith Thurman vs. Jesus Soto Karass. There’s no word about Amir Khan battling Devon Alexander, so you have to assume that we won’t be seeing that fight any time soon.

Malignaggi is coming off a contentious points defeat toAdrien Broner in June, while Judah also came up short in his last outing - a spirited losing effort against Danny Garcia.

The 32-year-old has revealed that he has taken the fight with the intention of securing local bragging rights, with big bouts the only thing on his mind at this stage of his career.

"Two former world champions and we'll see who is the best Brooklyn fighter of this generation. It's for bragging rights, respect."

American network 'Showtime' will feature the fight as a main event in the first weekend of December on a date originally scheduled for Amir Khan's proposed welterweight showdown with Devon Alexander.

DELVIN RODRIGUEZ AND STAR BOXING'S JOE DEGUARDIA PHOTOS AND QUOTES FROM FINAL ORLANDO PRESS CONFERENCE

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.

 ISAAC CHILEMBA (r) photo by Keisha Morrisey

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

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.
