Philadelphia's "Hammerin'" Hank Lundy will face Angelo Santana on Friday, Feb. 21, 2014 in the ShoBox main event of Don King's upcoming promotion in Cleveland, one of three big fights for Classic Entertainment & Sports in the next two weeks. The world-rated Lundy is looking for his second consecutive win following a victory over Ajose Olusegun in July.

Lundy, Johnson and Biosse launch huge February triple-header for N.E.-based CES boxing
 
Former two-time world champion will also fight Feb. 21 as he battles Rhode Island's Jaime Velazquez at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, R.I.


PROVIDENCE, R.I.  -- New England-based promoter Classic Entertainment & Sports is forging ahead with three major events in the next two weeks.


Two of CES' most prolific fighters, world-rated light welterweight "Hammerin'" Hank Lundy and Providence, R.I., super middleweight Vladine Biosse, will headline major cards on ShoBox both Friday, Feb. 21, and Friday, Feb. 28, respectively. Also on the 21st, CES will host its 2014 boxing kickoff with a major event at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, R.I., starring former two-time world champion Glen Johnson.


11020609872?profile=original
It's an epic month for the hardest-working promotional company in combat sports.
 
"Not only are we thrilled to bring a world-class fighter like Glen Johnson to our home in Providence, we're excited for the world to catch a view of two our top fighters in Vladine Biosse and Hank Lundy," CES president Jimmy Burchfield Sr. said. "Most boxing fans already know what 'Hammerin'' Hank is all about. He grew up on ESPN, fighting on the road against some of the best in the world, and now he'll bring his talents to ShoBox where he belongs.
 
"This is an equally big fight for Biosse. He's got a tremendous story. He came to this country not even knowing how to speak English, and now he's an American citizen looking to shock the world on Feb. 28th. If you haven't seen him yet, you're missing the boat. He's already showcased his talents twice on ESPN with two big wins and now he's taking it to the next level. This is what we do at CES; we promised our fans we'd bring them bigger and better events in 2014 and this is a great way to start a new year."
 
Philadelphia's Lundy (23-3-1, 11 KOs), ranked among the top 15 in the 140-pound division in two major sanctioning bodies, will face Miami's Angelo Santana (14-1, 11 KOs) at 135 pounds in the 10-round main event of Don King's ShoBox card at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland.
 
The hard-hitting Santana is looking to bounce back from a knockout loss to Bahodir Mamadjonov in April while Lundy is looking to build off a huge win against Ajose Olusegun in July. Lundy took the aforementioned fight against Olusegun on short notice and still won decisively, pitching a shutout on two of three judges' scorecards in their 10-round ESPN headliner. The win snapped Lundy's two-fight losing streak and vaulted him back into the conversation among the top-rated fighters in his weight class.
 3d2a45de27f69e2f4447b8a2904d5a84.jpeg
For Biosse (15-2-2, 7 KOs), next Friday will be his toughest test to date as he faces unbeaten middleweight prospect J'Leon Love(16-0, 9 KOs) in the Feb. 28 Mayweather Promotions ShoBox headliner at Turning Stone Casino in upstate New York.
 
The Cape Verdean southpaw, now fighting out of Providence, hasn't stepped inside the ring since July when he fought to a controversial draw against fellow Rhode Islander Rich Gingras, but he owns two big wins on ESPN in 2010 and 2011 and has a knack for stepping up on the sport's biggest stage. In addition to his two nationally-televised wins, Biosse also owns a dominant victory over former world-rated light heavyweight Joey Spina in 2012. A former Divison I college football player, Biosse is now trained by Paul Andrade, the father of reigning World Boxing Organization (WBO) light middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade.
 
Love, a Dearborn Heights, Mich., native, is ranked 20th in the World Boxing Council (WBC) super middleweight rankings. He challenged for the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) middleweight title in May and beat Philadelphia slugger Gabriel Rosado by split decision despite hitting the canvas in the sixth round, but the fight was later overturned when Love tested positive for a banned diuretic. Love rebounded with a knockout win over Lajuan Simon in December.
 
While Lundy is in Cleveland, the former two-time champ Johnson (53-18-2, 36 KOs) will make his Rhode Island debut, living up to his nickname, "The Road Warrior." The Jamaican-born light heavyweight will face Pawtucket, R.I., veteran Jaime Velazquez (11-5-2, 6 KOs) in the eight-round main event of CES' "Home Sweet Home" card at Twin River.
 
Johnson rose to fame in 2004 when he knocked out Roy Jones Jr. in defense of his International Boxing Federation (IBF) title and beat Antonio Tarver to earn the Boxing Writers' Association of America Fighter of the Year award. The 45-year-old slugger is coming off back-to-back wins in 2013, including a unanimous decision win over former world-title challenger Bobby Gunn in December. "Home Sweet Home" also features the return of unbeaten Providence super featherweight prospect Toka Kahn (9-0, 6 KOs), who will be fighting in his hometown for the first time in more than a year.
 
Tickets for "Home Sweet Home" are available at $41, $101 and $126 (VIP) and can be purchased online at www.cesboxing.com or www.twinriver.com or by phone at 401-724-2253/2254. In a special twist, Patrick Sullivan will handle play-by-play duties alongside color commentator Gary "Tiger" Balletto, the former reality television star of The Contender series who is recovering from injuries sustained in a fall at his home in July.

Hip Hop Artist, Music Producer and CEO & Founder of Free At Last Music Group LLC, Chris ‘CENTRIC’ Louray will be displaying his talents on an upcoming Independent film, “Set Me Free“. “Set Me Free” was written and directed by L.A. based Actor/Director Big Spence. Big Spence wrote this film inspired by one mans life. A story about challenges, faith, choices and change. Spence brought his film to Oakland and the surrounding Bay area where he was raised, with the intent of casting some of the local talent. Big Spence recognized Bay Area talent, Chris ‘Centric‘ Louray and brought him on as the Music Composer in charge of doing an original score. Although Centric had successfully produced music previously for different projects including music placement for VH1, MTV and episodes of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” television show, “Set Me Free” was his first shot at doing the score for a feature film.

Centric was excited to work with a great team. R&B Artist Baby James (Jay Lyrie), known for his “Ghetto-Retro” style was hired on by Spence as the Music Supervisor. Together, Baby James and Centric put together one great soundtrack. Some of the featured artists on the film’s soundtrack are Love Rance, E-40, Omarion, Erk Tha Jerk, Marcus Allen, Dior and Jeanius Exantus, whose song, “Better Than You” is used as one of the main songs in the film. Centric took special pride in working with Dior and Jeanius, as they are both artists he has produced. Baby James was the music supervisor. “James had dope ideas in addition to what I was doing, so it turned out beautifully. He made me think outside the box”, Centric said. When producing music Centric views it as ‘creating art’. While working on “Set Me Free” Centric had to let his mind be free and tap into his creativity and emotional side. He just went off of the emotion that was in the scene. He wanted to give it the feel that Spence was looking for. “Big Spence had certain scenes in the film that he had strong opinions about, if it wasn’t right he kept at it until he felt it was. However, he left it up to me and James to use our own artistic abilities. I have mad respect for Spence, especially as a Director. Him allowing me to do what I do showed me that he trusted my creativity. That’s huge coming from a Director like Big Spence who accepts nothing less than quality,” Centric stated.

Chris “CENTRIC” Louray is many things. He’s a Hip Hop Artist and Actor but first and foremost Centric is a Music Producer. Growing up in the ‘golden era” of Hip Hop, Centric fancies himself a ‘lyricist’, realizing that with songs you have to go off of your own feelings and moods. Now, having his first opportunity to work on a film Centric realizes it’s not much different than working on a song; you still have to go off of emotion, feeling and the mood of the scene. It’s all about capturing the actors role, the environment they are in during the scene and most importantly capturing the film Director’s vision.

Centric was excited to work on this Big Spence (Touch The Heart Productions) film. In addition to his work on “Set Me Free”,Centric is busy in studio working on many projects which include collaborations with other FreeAtLast members, as well as a solo album. You can hear and see Centric’s talent soon, as Big Spence has set a release date for the film for Spring 2014. “Set Me Free” is slated to be shown at several upcoming film festivals world wide.

HIP-HOP KRISS FAMOUSS IN WRESTLING RING??

11020610494?profile=original

February 13, 2014 – Springfield, Massachusetts]  Calling all hip-hop, wrestling, boxing fans and everyone in between.  NEFW (New England Frontier Wrestling) returns once again to their stomping ground at the Chicopee Boys and Girls Club on Saturday, February 22, 2014 for some exciting head to head, toe to toe wrestling entertainment action entitled “Roses & Wristlocks 3!!”. But wait. You are probably thinking… what does that have to do with hip-hop and Kriss Famouss?  Are you hoping he’d put on a mask and become a good guy in the ring or maybe toss someone over a table and do his Kriss Famouss move the “Famouss Beat Down”? Ha ha ha.. Get it Beat Down.  But no, Famouss will not be in tights that night. Instead straight out of a video production of all historic ring entrances he’ll be escorting Robert “The Bean” Mancini, The Pride of West Springfield into the ring.

 

Pattee Mak: Your ring walk next Saturday will be with no other than local hip-hop artist Kriss Famouss.  How important is the music/performer ring walk to you?

 

Mancini: It’s very important to me.  I couldn’t come out to just any music.  This is what’s going to get me pump up before my big win.   When I heard Famouss’ song I knew I wanted him to walk me out.

                       

Pattee Mak: Last year you wrote the lyrics and produced the boxing video “Bout That Life”.  Next Saturday, you’ll be walking the ring walk with 3x celebrity boxing champ into the ring. Back in November 2013 I asked you, “Would you consider walking a fighter down to the ring and rapping this song as their intro?” You stated “Most definitely. I would bring excitement to any arena while pumpin up their fans. Besides that is the ultimate excitement. So many fans love the ring intro. It prepares the fighter mentally and puts the fighter in the place he needs to be.” Now that moment has arrived. Next Saturday… Your thoughts?

                                   

Famouss: Yes I wanted to thank Mancini and NEFW for giving me the opportunely to perform.  This will be an experience I will never forget.  I grew up watching wrestling and boxing and although I never seen Mancini box before I’m juiced up to attend this event and looking forward to seeing Mancini’s win.  And ya never know I’ve been known to crack a chair over someone’s head from time to time. So watch out come the 22nd.

 

Pattee Mak:  This is the 2nd time you will be having Robert “The Bean” Mancini on your card and the first time Famouss will be on hand at one of your events. Tell me how can someone obtain tickets if they wanted to go or find out more about your wrestling event?

 

ERIC NEWTON:  Tickets will be available at the door starting at 5:30 p.m. on the day of the show.  NEFW Pro Wrestling is excited to have Famouss on our show. It’s not only our goal to provide the fans with great wrestling but great entertainment as a whole.  Music and Wrestling have a great history together dating back to the 80's Rock'n Wrestling era to the current modern era. It’s a winning combination! NEFW welcomes Bob "Bean" Mancini and Hip Star Famouss to NEFW Pro Wrestling Family.  All info can be obtained by contacting me at stonevelvetroses@aol.com or by visiting www.NEFWProWrestling.com.

 

Other matches of the evening:

 

Tag Team Special Attraction Lineage:  (Chris Envy & Furio Falcone) vs. NEFW Champion "Dirt Dawg" Jeremy Leary & Former WWE Superstar Matt Striker

 

Fatal 4-Way Match for the NEFW US TITLE: JT Dunn vs. Dave Cole vs. AJ Cruise vs. Anthony Gangone.

 

NEFW #1 Contenders Match for Heavyweight Title: Mark Shurman vs. Mike Nice w/Fenris Fortune

Former two-time world champion Glen "The Road Warrior" Johnson (above right), seen here knocking out Allan Green during their Super Six World Classic super middleweight bout in 2010, will return to the ring Friday, Feb. 21st, 2014 at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, R.I., in the 8-round main event of CES' "Home Sweet Home" card as he faces fan-favorite Jaime Velazquez.

Former champ Johnson invades Rhode Island Feb. 21st 
 
Providence's Toka Kahn will return to his hometown and put his unbeaten record on the line on the undercard of CES' Feb. 21st event at Twin River Casino.11020610468?profile=original                                                          Providence's Toka Kahn
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (Feb. 11th, 2014) -- The man who once put Roy Jones Jr. to sleep and earned a reputation as boxing's toughest "Road Warrior" will test his luck in another city far from his home in Jamaica.


Glen Johnson, the former International Boxing Federation (IBF) and The Ring world light heavyweight champion, will headline Classic Entertainment & Sports' Feb. 21, 2014 card at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, R.I., when he faces veteran Jaime Velazquez of Pawtucket, R.I., in the 8-round main event of "Home Sweet Home."
 
Velazquez (11-5-2, 6 KOs), 42, a former New England title contender in the mid- to late-1990s, will end a 15-year layoff in his long-awaited return to the ring Feb. 21st, and he'll do it against one of the most prolific light heavyweights of this generation. Johnson (53-18-2, 36 KOs), 45, has been actively fighting for the past 25 years, a late-bloomer who didn't turn pro until he was 20, but during that stretch he's fought 11 world-title bouts and enjoyed an impressive run as the IBF and The Ring title-holder, which included his shocking knockout win over Roy Jones Jr. in 2004. Three months later, Johnson unified the light heavyweight title by beating Antonio Tarver and earned the Boxing Writer's Association of America's Fighter of the Year award.
 
Tickets for "Home Sweet Home" are available for $40, $100 and $126 (VIP) and can be purchased online at www.cesboxing.com or www.twinriver.com or by phone at 401-724-2253/2254.
 
Nicknamed "The Road Warrior" for frequently fighting -- and winning -- in his opponents' hometowns, Johnson's resume also includes a knockout win over the hard-hitting Yusaf Mack of Philadelphia and an inclusion in the Super Six World Boxing Classic in which he dropped to 168 pounds to replace an injured Mikkel Kessler and knocked out Allan Green before losing a close majority decision to World Boxing Council (WBC) champ Carl Froch in the semifinals.
 
Like the loss to Froch, many of Johnson's setbacks have either been too close to call or have fallen under a cloud of controversy, including a disputed draw against Clinton Woods for the then-vacant IBF title in 2003 in Woods' backyard in the United Kingdom, which Johnson avenged later that year by beating Woods unanimously for the belt. He faced Woods a third time in 2006 in the same country for the same belt and lost a close split decision in which one judge awarded the fight to Johnson by two points.
 
Following the trilogy with Woods, Johnson went on to beat former world champion Montell Griffin by 11th-round knockout and faced off twice against WBC title-holder Chad Dawson, losing both fights by narrow unanimous decisions. Johnson also challenged for the IBF title a third time against Tavoris Cloud and took a shot at the IBF super middleweight belt against Lucian Bute, going the distance against both fighters. Johnson pushed Cloud to the brink for 12 rounds and lost a unanimous decision despite landing more punches than Cloud, according to the CompuBox numbers.
 
In addition to knocking out 36 of his 73 opponents, a staggering 49 percent knockout rate, Johnson has only been stopped once in 25 years, proving his chin is as solid as his fists. The lone stoppage occurred in 1997 in the first of his 11 world-title belts against then-IBF middleweight champ Bernard Hopkins, the ageless wonder who, at 49, now holds the same light heavyweight title Johnson defended twice during the peak of his dominance in 2004. Born in Jamaica, Johnson moved to southern Florida at the age of 15.
 
Velazquez is best known for a series of memorable bouts on the New England circuit in the '90s, including a thriller against former world-title challenger Scott Pemberton and a six-round battle against Richard Grant, who later went on to face former super middleweight world champ Jeff Lacy. Velazquez also went the distance with former IBF contender Gabriel Hernandez and fought two draws against Holyoke, Mass., cruiserweight Darren Whitley.
 
"Home Sweet Home" also features the homecoming of Providence native Toka Kahn (9-0, 6 KOs), a highly-decorated amateur and now undefeated super featherweight prospect fighting under the promotional guidance of Bob Arum's Top Rank Boxing. Kahn will fight in his hometown for the first time since 2012 in a six-round bout.
 
"The Vermont Bully" Kevin Cobbs (7-1, 2 KOs), now fighting out of Fall River, Mass., will end his year-long layoff in a four-round light heavyweight bout while Pawtucket, R.I., middleweight Thomas Falowo (10-2, 7 KOs) will return for the first time since his loss to Chris Chatman in July of 2012 in a separate six-round bout. The undercard also features the return of undefeated Providence middleweight K.J. Harrison-Lombardi (4-0-1), who will star in a four-round bout, and the Twin River debut of Louisiana cruiserweight Alvin Varmall (1-0, 1 KO), also fighting in a separate four-round bout. All fights and fighters are subject to change.

A confident Agnew said, "I think as of now he has not seen a person of my skill level." He added, "At the end of the day you have to fight world champions to be a world champion and be considered the best.  He's a world champion. I am looking to be considered one of the best."

Main Events' President and CEO Kathy Duva said, "We're thrilled that we're able to bring Sergey to Atlantic City where we have been so successful in the past. You can't miss a second of a Kovalev fight. There's so much tension in the ring. You're almost guaranteed to see an incredible knock out!"
 
 "In 2013, the Sergey Kovalev secret was unveiled," said Peter Nelson, director of programming, HBO Sports.   "Last year, Kovalev had breakout performances in two televised fights on HBO. Kovalev has demonstrated the knockout artistry and ring activity that earn fans' respect.  In his March 29 return, Kovalev will face undefeated Cedric Agnew in his HBO debut. The Chicago-native Agnew knows what an upset of Kovalev's momentum could mean to his career.  Mark your calendars."
 
"Caesars Atlantic City's commitment to sponsoring some of the top sporting events on the East Coast is no more evident than with this March 29th  HBO bout set for historic Boardwalk Hall," said Kevin Ortzman, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Caesars, Bally's, and Showboat Atlantic City. "As a boxing fan, I'm particularly intrigued to watch Kovalev, live in the ring, and see if his winning streak continues."
 
Kovalev, originally of Chelyabinsk, Russia now residing in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, is notorious for knocking his opponents out early.  Of his twenty-one career knockouts, six occurred in the first round, nine occurred in the second round and four occurred in the third round so look for Kovalev to be aggressive early and take out his opponent. Kovalev's knockouts-to-win ratio is an astounding 91%.  His meteoric rise through the light heavyweight ranks began just one year ago with his third round TKO defeat over former world champion Gabriel Campillo on January 19, 2013 at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut.  "Krusher" followed that win with his destruction of Cornelius White in another third round TKO win on June 14, 2013 to become the mandatory contender for the IBF title.  Kovalev immediately proceeded to challenge for the WBO World Light Heavyweight Championship against Nathan Cleverly in Cleverly's backyard of Cardiff, Wales on August 17, 2013. He made a splash in his HBO debut by winning the title by fourth round TKO. He continued his title reign on HBO when he knocked out slick boxer Ismayl Sillakh in the second round in Quebec City, Quebec on November 30, 2013. 
 
Cedric Agnew, of Chicago, IL, is also undefeated in 26 professional bouts with 13 of those coming by knockout. Agnew has gone the distance in his last four starts so look for him to take the dangerous Kovalev into deep waters. Agnew holds the USBA Light Heavyweight Title which he earned on April 12, 2013 in his twelve round unanimous decision over light heavyweight gatekeeper Yusaf Mack.  With all of his fights taking place in Texas and the Midwest, this will be Agnew's first fight on the east coast and his HBO debut.  Promoter Kathy Duva said, "I'm thrilled that Cedric Agnew stepped up to fight Sergey. For an undefeated young fighter to take a fight that it seems no one else wants, that really says a lot about him. I'm sure he'll be prepared come fight night and Kovalev will have a tough challenge in front of him."
 
Historic Boardwalk Hall has been home to many boxing superstars, including the late Arturo Gatti whom Main Events promoted throughout his entire career.  The last nine fights of Gatti's illustrious time in the ring all took place at Boardwalk Hall, including the infamous Gatti-Ward II and III fights and Gatti's knockout wins over Jesse James Leija and Leonard Dorin.

Johnston-Hendricks heavyweight title bout set for next CES MMA next month at Twin River
 
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (Feb. 8th, 2013) – AXS TV’s Inside MMA announced Friday that undefeated Melrose, Mass., heavyweight John Johnston will fight for the vacant CES MMA championship March 14th, 2014 at Twin River Casino against former Ultimate Fighting Championships veteran Josh Hendricks.
 
The 6-foot-4 Johnston (5-0, 5 KOs) is fresh off his fifth knockout win in as many tries after stopping William Baptiste just 1 minute, 49 seconds into the opening round of their scheduled three-round bout Jan. 24th courtesy of a vicious head kick that sent both fighters crashing to the canvas.
 
Training out of Sityodtong in Boston, Johnston has yet to fight past the second round, winning four of his five professional bouts by first-round knockout. Facing Hendricks (19-9, 5 KOs), a Mansfield, Ohio native, will be a major step up for Johnston. The first and only time he fought at Twin River, Hendricks submitted Josh Diekmann via triangle choke in the opening round of their heavyweight bout, one of Hendricks’ 12 career submission victories.
 
Between 2005 and 2007, Hendricks amassed an impressive streak in which he won 10 of 11 bouts with one no contest, earning him a spot on the UFC 91 card in November of 2008 in Las Vegas, where he lost to Gabriel Gonzaga.
 
The March 14th card will also feature the return of Bourne, Mass., welterweight Chuck O’Neil (12-6, 4 KOs); Providence lightweight Luis Felix (10-7, 3 KOs) and Boynton Beach, Fla., welterweight Charles Rosa (6-0, 2 KOs), a graduate of Providence’s Johnson & Wales University.
