Undefeated WBC Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo will hold a Juneteenth celebration in his hometown for the second-straight year when he steps into the ring to face tough former title challenger Maciej Sulecki on Saturday, June 18 live on SHOWTIME from Toyota Center in Houston in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
By Thomas Gerbasi - He hasn’t made it to the Top Ten yet, but some of us are of the opinion that after just 11 pro fights, Jared Anderson is a heavyweight contender. Regardless of that opinion, the 22-year-old from Ohio is BoxingScene’s Prospect of the Year for 2021.
Frank Martin has officially launched the 2022 Prospect of the Year race. The unbeaten southpaw from Indianapolis—who now trains in Dallas—picked apart Philippines’ Romero Duno en route to a fourth-round knockout. Martin scored two knockdowns, the latter of which prompted a stoppage at 2:54 of round four Saturday evening on Fox TV from Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
The stage is set for the first U.S. card on the first day of the New Year. Weight was not of concern to any of the ten participants on the five-fight all-heavyweight Fox Sports Pay-Per-View card airing live (also on Fite TV) Saturday evening from Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Headlining the show, top contender Luis Ortiz (32-2, 27KOs; 2NC) faces former IBF titlist Charles Martin (28-2-1, 25KOs) in a rare battle of heavyweight southpaws which comes in the form of a scheduled 12-round title eliminator.
Unbeaten lightweight contender Frank Martin, who fights under Errol Spence Jr.’s Man Down Promotions banner, will square off against Romero Duno in a 10-round showdown that tops PBC action live on FOX and FOX Deportes Saturday, January 1 kicking off the New Year from Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
LAS VEGAS – Frank Martin made another impressive appearance on national television Saturday. The promising prospect beat game veteran Ryan Kielczewski to the punch throughout their 10-round lightweight fight. The strong southpaw won every round according to judges Tim Cheatham, Chris Migliore and Don Trella, each of whom scored it 100-90, and easily won a unanimous decision.
LAS VEGAS – Jose Valenzuela battered and bloodied Donte Strayhorn on Saturday afternoon until referee Raul Caiz Jr. decided Strayhorn shouldn’t take more punishment. Caiz stopped their lightweight fight at 1:29 of the fourth round at T-Mobile Arena. The first fight on the Manny Pacquiao-Yordenis Ugas undercard was scheduled for eight rounds.
Frank Martin wasn’t content to out-box Jerry Perez on Tuesday night in Los Angeles. The lightweight prospect dropped Perez with a left hook in the seventh round and finished him later in that round. Referee Jerry Cantu stopped their scheduled 10-round fight with just one second remaining in that seventh round.
Frank Martin and Jerry Perez hope to make a name for themselves atop a show that caught many in the industry by surprise. Both boxers made weight for the Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on FS1 main event between unbeaten lightweights. The scheduled 10-round bout headlines a telecast largely kept under wraps until a few days ago but will air live from Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles.
