Her Journey Continues Demi "Hard to Handle" Nguyen, fights June 21st in L.A

SPOTLIGHT:

Female Super Middleweight Prospect Demi "Hard 2 Handle" Nguyen (2-1) entered the world of boxing by chance in late 2005, but since then the 34-year-old late-bloomer has built an incredible support team and focused herself on becoming a household name in women's boxing. Los Angeles' Broadway Gym is her second home, and she enjoys the history behind the old-time atmosphere. She often closes her eyes during workout sessions and pictures Muhammad Ali, who also practiced in the same space for some of the most memorable bouts in modern history.

This is an update for all of Demi's fans, friends, family, and designated supporters: After all that has been said, done, negotiated, argued about, and fought to get and keep... the time has come for me to get back in the ring and dominate. This will be my first fight with my promoter, Patrick Ortiz. Team Nguyen has been doing nothing but focusing and training for the road to WBC championship. This is not an easy dream to fulfill but honestly I have a gift for selecting the "hard road" in life. They say the hardest lessons and difficulties are the most rewarding. For now, I'm going to take their word on that! This fight on June, 21, 2007 at San Manuel Casino in California, will be the first of many regularly scheduled fights this year.

I want to take this time to say THANK YOU to everyone for all of your commitment, support, interest, love and friendship in welcoming and following my career

Sincerely,

Demi "Hard 2 Handle" Nguyen

DiBella Entertainment presents another installment of Broadway Boxing at the Grand Ballroom at Manhattan Center in New York City on June 20, headlined by knockout artist Jaidon "The Don" Codrington (15-1-11 Ko's) vs. TBD in hopefully a 10 round super middleweight main event, in the last past week, Omar Sheika (26-8-17 Ko's) has pulled out of the fight.

Jaidon Codrington, of Connecticut, made time to check out the other half of the infamous boxing duo, the "Chin Checker" Curtis "Showtime " Stevens bout with Andre Dirrell this past weekend at the Mohegan Sun. When asked whether or not he had an opponent for his up and coming fight card was "Im not sure, but I hope so, I'll be there and ready for whoever".

SecondsOut Radio with Eddie Goldman

On this week's edition of SecondsOut Radio, host Eddie Goldman focuses on boxing's talent-rich but chaotic 140-pound division.

There are five fighters who currently hold more-or-less major world titles in this division: WBC champ Junior Witter of the UK, WBA champ Souleymane M'baye of France, new IBF champ Paulie Malignaggi of the US, WBO champ Ricardo Torres of Colombia, and
Ricky Hatton of the UK who holds The Ring magazine's belt and is considered the linear champion by some.

This past Saturday night, June 16, Malignaggi (32-1, 5 KOs) took a 12-round shutout decision over Lovemore N'dou (45-9-1, 30 KOs) at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., to capture his belt.

This coming Saturday night, June 23, Hatton (42-0, 30 KOs) faces former lightweight champ Jose Luis Castillo (55-7-1, 47 KOs) in a 12-round fight at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

First, we get a report from Keisha Morrisey of Bloodline Boxing Entertainment who covered the Mohegan Sun show from ringside. We discuss Malignaggi's victory over N'dou, the disappointing televised co-feature between Andre Dirrell and Curtis Stevens, and some of the young prospects on the non-televised undercard whose performances were noteworthy and entertained the fans.

We next speak with the new IBF 140-pound champ, Paulie Malignaggi, to get his take on what is undoubtedly the biggest victory of his pro career.

And we speak with the man everyone seems to be gunning for in this division, Ricky Hatton, about how he is approaching this fight with Jose Luis Castillo.
