<p><strong>Las Vegas, NV –</strong> “Fans and media have been asking me for weeks what is happening on The Ultimate Fighter Season 11, saying things like ‘is Tito off the show, is Chuck fighting Rich.’ Today, I’m officially announcing that Chuck Liddell will fight Rich Franklin at UFC 115.  I wish I could tell you why, but everyone’s just going to have to watch The Ultimate Fighter Season 11 on Spike TV. What I can say is that these are two UFC legends, and they give everything they have in every second of a fight.  Both of these guys are looking to get back to the top of the light heavyweight division.  Liddell and Franklin at 205 pounds is going to be a war, and I can’t wait to do our first UFC event ever in Vancouver,” said UFC President Dana White.</p>
<p>Tickets for UFC 115 will go on sale Thursday, April 15 at 10am PT and will be priced at $601, $401, $301, $201, $126 and $76. Tickets are available at the General Motors Place box office or by phone at (604-280-4444).</p>
<p>UFC® Fight Club™ members will have the opportunity to purchase tickets to this event Tuesday, April 13 at 10a.m. PT via the website ufc.com. A special Internet ticket pre-sale will be available to UFC newsletter subscribers Wednesday, April 14 starting at 10 a.m. PT. To access this presale, users must register for the UFC newsletter through <a href="http://ufc.com">ufc.com</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-1055"></span>“I’m ready for this fight, I’m in the best shape of my life, and I can’t wait to get back in the Octagon,” said<br />
Liddell. “I can’t tell the fans what happens in the Ultimate Fighter 11, you have to watch the show, but I’ll tell you how this is gonna end, I’m knocking Rich out.”</p>
<p>“Chuck is a gamer,” Franklin said. “He is a professional &#8211; take Randy for example. He and Randy are friends, but he didn&#8217;t have a problem fighting Randy and punching him in the head, so he sure won&#8217;t have a problem punching me in the head.  I’m excited about fighting Chuck, I’m going to give everything I have, and I look forward to giving fans a great fight in Vancouver.”</p>
<p>It’s been a dream match of fight fans for years, and this June, two of the greatest champions in the history of theUltimate Fighting Championship® will face off and headline the first UFC® show ever in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell takes on former UFC middleweight champion Rich “Ace” Franklin in a historic 205-pound matchup at UFC 115 on Saturday, June 12, 2010, live from General Motors Place and only on Pay-Per-View.</p>

<p>The 34-year-old Dzinziruk (35-0, 23 KOs) is arguably the world’s top junior middleweight, but is largely unknown in the U.S. The southpaw was inactive in 2009 due to a contract dispute with his European former promoter.All eyes will be on Dzinziruk come Friday as he is the No. 1 ranked junior middleweight by many well-respected boxing websites, including ESPN.com and FightNews, ahead of 154-pound stars <strong>Alfredo Angulo</strong>, <strong>Antonio Margarito</strong>, <strong>Kermit Cintron</strong>, <strong>Cory Spinks</strong> and <strong>Yuri Foreman</strong>.</p>
<p>He recently signed a promotional contract with American promoters Artie Pelullo’s Banner Promotions and Gary Shaw Productions.</p>
<p><strong><em>Question: </em></strong><em>Why did you decide to come to the United States?</em></p>
<p><strong><em>Answer:</em></strong> “I’ve fought in other countries. I just want to show the American people what I’m all about. I fought here in the Olympics (1996 in Atlanta) and the Goodwill Games (1998 in New York) but as an amateur. I want people to know my name. I want people to recognize me when I walk down the street.”</p>
<p><strong><em><span id="more-1036"></span>Question:</em></strong><em> You haven’t fought in 18 months. Are you concerned about ring rust?</em></p>
<p><strong><em>Answer:</em></strong> “Of course I’ve been out of the ring for 18 months but that only makes me hungrier. I’m also fighting in the States for the first time but it doesn’t matter where I fight: the U.S., England, Poland. A ring is a ring. I’m just ready to go in there and show everybody who Sergiy is.”</p>
<p><strong><em>Question:</em></strong><strong> </strong><em>You and Alfredo Angulo are both represented by Gary Shaw. How soon would you like to fight Angulo?</em></p>
<p><strong><em>Answer:</em></strong> “I’d like to just get this first fight out of the way first. But, yes, I would like to fight him. I was at his last fight. He looked pretty good but I am not afraid of Angulo. There are a lot of interesting names in my division. Paul Williams, the interim champion Angulo, (Kermit) Cintron. I just have to be patient and I know I will meet the best in the division.”</p>
<p><strong><em>Question:</em></strong><em> You are ranked very high in your division. Does that put added pressure on you, especially since a lot of people in the States aren’t familiar with you?</em></p>
<p><strong><em>Answer:</em></strong> “Yes. Absolutely. I’m very aware of it, that the pressure is on. Everybody is looking at me and that’s why I am here in America and training hard. I’m ready to show the U.S. and SHOWTIME audience what a dominant fighter I am.”</p>
<p><strong>Q</strong><strong><em>uestion:</em></strong><em> What do you know about SHOWTIME?</em></p>
<p><strong><em>Answer:</em></strong> “SHOWTIME is a major network and does a great job with boxing and its different shows. I just feel so fortunate that my first fight in America is united with SHOWTIME and I’m hoping to show a great outcome and fight.”</p>
<p><strong><em>Question:</em></strong><em> What do you like most about living in the States?</em></p>
<p><strong><em>Answer:</em></strong> “The sparring partners are much better and the gyms are different than in Germany and England. I’ve been able to travel around and sightsee a little bit. But after this fight I will do a lot more. I’ll go to the beach and visit Las Vegas.”</p>

<p><strong>THE BIG APPLE (May 12, 2010) – &#8220;Stadium Slugfest,&#8221; </strong>the chin musical hit<strong> </strong>which will be performed live by <strong>MIGUEL COTTO </strong>and <strong>YURI FOREMAN</strong>, for one night only, <strong>Saturday, June 5</strong> at <strong>Yankee Stadium</strong>, is already the No. 1 billboard hit of Times Square!</p>
<p>Foreman, the undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) super welterweight champion is in training for his first title defense, against three-time world champion Cotto, the pride or Puerto Rico.<strong> </strong>Cotto vs. Foreman will headline “Stadium Slugfest” &#8212; the inaugural brawl at <strong>Yankee Stadium, Saturday, June 5.</strong> It will be televised live on <strong>HBO </strong>World Championship Boxing, beginning at <strong>10:15 p.m. ET / 7:15 p.m. PT.</strong></p>
<p>Foreman (28-0, 8 KOs), a 29-year-old from Brooklyn, NY, became the first orthodox Jew to win a world championship in nearly 75 years.  Born in Gomel, Belarus, and raised in Israel, Foreman eventually emigrated to Brooklyn.  The 2001 New York Golden Gloves Champion turned pro in 2002 and began studying to become a rabbi three years ago.  Foreman knocked down defending WBA super welterweight champion Daniel Santos in the final round of their November 2009 rumble in Las Vegas (ironically on the undercard of Pacquiao-Cotto) en route to a decisive and unanimous decision victory while becoming Israel’s first world champion fighter.  He is trained by Joe Grier.</p>
<p>Cotto (34-2, 27 KOs), from Caguas, Puerto Rico, has held a world title every year since 2004 and will be looking to extend that streak with his challenge of Foreman.  Puerto Rico’s most exciting fighter, Cotto held the World Boxing Organization (WBO) junior welterweight crown from 2004-2006, successfully defending it six times before vacating it to capture the WBA welterweight title at the end of 2006, a title he held for nearly as long.  He won his second welterweight title in February 2009, knocking out Michael Jennings in the fifth round to become the WBO welterweight champion.  He lost the title in his second defense, last November, to Manny Pacquiao.  Notable scalps on Cotto’s belt include Sugar Shane Mosley, Zab Judah, Joshua Clottey, Paulie Malinaggi, and Demarcus Corley.  Cotto is trained by Emanuel Steward.</p>
<p>Promoted by Top Rank, in association with Miguel Cotto Promotions and Yankee Stadium, remaining tickets to Cotto vs. Foreman, priced at $400, $300, $200, $100, $75 and $50, can be purchased at the Yankee Stadium box office, Ticketmaster.com and all Ticketmaster outlets.  To charge by phone, 877-469-9849 or Tickemaster TTY 800-943-4327.  For more information on Cotto vs. Foreman, go to <a title="http://www.toprank.com/" href="http://www.toprank.com/" target="_blank">www.TopRank.com</a>.</p>

<p>&#8220;This is great news and I can&#8217;t wait to get to New York to finish up my training, get in the ring next Saturday and teach Paulie Malignaggi a lesson,&#8221; said Khan.  &#8221;He&#8217;s been running his mouth for a while now and was probably hoping I wouldn&#8217;t get into New York.  Well, Paulie, I&#8217;m on my way and you&#8217;re going to be my next knockout victim on May 15.&#8221;</p>
<p>Upon hearing the news about Khan&#8217;s P1 Visa, Malignaggi said, &#8220;Welcome back to America, Amir.  Now get ready for some punishment on May 15.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>ANTONIO MARGARITO (154 Lbs)</strong> &#8212; &#8220;I am so glad to get back into the ring. I really missed the crowds and all of the fans &#8212; but I always kept training. I never left the ring. I feel strong and I am ready. During the last year I have always been in the ring working on my timing and keeping sharp.  I expect Garcia to charge right at me on Saturday night. That is something I will deal with in the ring.”</p>
<p><strong>ROBERTO GARCIA (153 Lbs)</strong> &#8212; &#8220;My preparation was just not hard, but smart. This has been my best-ever training camp. My claws are sharpened.  Working with Freddie Roach also means a lot of film study. Freddie knows everything there is about Margarito.<br />
I am not the same fighter I was two years ago.  I’m a world champion in waiting.  And one thing is for sure – Margarito is going to have trouble hitting a moving target.&#8221;</p>

<p>LINDSAY, CA, May 7th – He thrilled millions of boxing fans with an aggressive style that earned him a spot on the 1996 US Olympic team and two world junior middleweight championships. And on Saturday, June 19<sup>th</sup>, boxing superstar <strong>Fernando Vargas</strong> will begin his quest to bring the next generation of stars to fight fans, as he joins with long time fight promoter <strong>Roy Englebrecht</strong> and presents his first event as a promoter – “Melee at McDermont” – at the state of the art McDermont Field House in Lindsay, California.</p>
<p>At a Friday, May 7<sup>th</sup> Noon Press Conference at McDermont Field House, Vargas announced the main event for this historic card, which is the first ever professional boxing event in Lindsay (population 15,000), and will feature former world champion <strong>Martin “El Gallo” Castillo</strong> looking to extend his two fight winning streak when he battles former IBA world titlist <strong>Vernie Torres</strong> in a super bantamweight main event.</p>
<p>Also in action will be two of Lindsay’s own, as lightweight <strong>Rigo Espinoza</strong> and welterweight <strong>Stephen Rubalcava</strong> make their professional debuts in four round action.</p>
<p><span id="more-1010"></span>“I’m very excited and look forward to bringing a class act and a Hollywood type show to Lindsay,” said Vargas. “After attending Fight Promoter University last November I knew that I wanted my new company, Vargas Entertainment Promotions, to get into the fight promotions business. Now being able to partner with such a respected promoter as Roy Englebrecht, I am confident that fight fans will witness an event that will be the talk of Lindsay and Tulare County for years!”</p>
<p>“Melee at McDermont”, a hard-hitting night of professional boxing, will be co-promoted by Vargas Entertainment Promotions and Roy Englebrecht Promotions. Tickets, priced at $75, $40 and $25, can be purchased online at <a href="http://www.meleeatmcdermont.com" target="_blank">www.meleeatmcdermont.com</a> and at the McDermont Field House office Monday thru Friday. <strong>Special VIP Melee Suites</strong> that are all inclusive are also being offered for this show at $600 per suite, and include 10 tickets and unlimited food and drink.</p>
<p>McDermont Field House is a year old, 15 million dollar recreation facility that includes state of the art soccer fields, basketball court, a wave pool, video arcade, dance studio, boxing gym, café, and is considered the most cutting edge recreational venue of it type in California.</p>
<p>“As mayor of the City of Lindsay I am extremely excited about bringing professional boxing to Lindsay,” said Ed Murray. “I know it will be a fantastic evening for local fight fans to see great fights on June 19<sup>th</sup>, and I also look forward to witnessing this evening first hand, right in our hometown.”</p>
<p>One of the most exciting fighters in the game today, Mexico City native Martin Castillo (35-3, 18 KOs) is a former 1996 Mexican Olympian who repeated his amateur success in the pros when he won the WBA super flyweight title in 2004. Castillo defended his crown four times before an upset loss in 2006, and he has since won five of his last six bouts, including two in a row following his return from a year-long layoff.</p>
<p>A native of Davao City in the Philippines, southpaw Vernie Torres (27-12, 15 KOs) has been battling it out with the best for nearly 14 years.  Torres has faced the likes of Mike Oliver, Gary Stark Jr., and Jose Navarro, but his crowning glory came in January of 2003, when he stopped Julio Coronel in ten rounds to win the IBA bantamweight title. Now looking to recapture that championship form, Torres is expecting a big night on June 19<sup>th</sup>.</p>
<p>In the “Melee at McDermont” co-main event, it will be a six round Bay Area brawl when Oakland’s <strong>Tony Hirsch</strong> (11-3-1, 5 KOs) takes on Fresno’s <strong>Loren Myers</strong> (7-7-1, 2 KOs) in a middleweight match. Hirsch, a former Oakland Raiders cornerback has won two in a row, including a decision victory over veteran contender Jose Celaya last November, but he will be tested by the always tough Myers, who has been in with top prospects Dion Savage and Matt Korobov in the last year.</p>
<p>Hometown heroes Rigo Espinoza and Stephen Rubalcava will take their leap into the punch for pay ranks on June 19<sup>th</sup> when they square off against <strong>Cesar Flores</strong> (0-1) and <strong>Maurice Slade</strong> (0-2-1), respectively.</p>
<p>“I found out what the city of Lindsay was doing with their awesome venture the McDermont Field House about a year ago, and just knew it would work for boxing,” said co promoter Roy Englebrecht. “Add to the mix the name of Fernando Vargas and I know the Melee at McDermont will become the premier fight series in the Central Valley, both for boxing and for mixed martial arts shows we will also be promoting”</p>
<p>Opening the event will be bantamweight four rounder pitting Fresno’s <strong>Mike Ruiz</strong> (1-0) against Cudahay’s<strong>Luis Lucas</strong> (0-1).</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><span id="more-1004"></span>The latest edition of <strong>Top Rank’s TRLiveStream</strong> series will provide wall-to-wall coverage of the weigh-ins for “Latin Fury 14”, including all of the undercard fighters, and culminating with the hard-punching <strong>Garcia</strong> <strong>(28-2, 21 KOs)</strong> and three-time world champion <strong>Margarito (37-6, 27 KOs)</strong> stepping on the scale. The following day, Saturday, May 8, fans can whet their appetites for the main event—which airs Live on Pay-Per-View, beginning at<strong> 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT</strong>—by watching all of the non-televised bouts.

<p>Promoted by Top Rank, in association with Zanfer Promotions and Tecate, the four-bout Latin Fury 14 will be broadcast<strong>Live on Pay-Per-View</strong>, on<strong> <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">This Saturday!</span></em> May 8,</strong> beginning at <strong>9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT</strong>, from Aguascalientes, Mexico, which will be celebrating the San Marcos Fair.</p>
<p>Headlined by the Margarito-Garcia 10-round super welterweight rumble, the pay-per-view undercard will feature World Boxing Association (WBA) interim super featherweight champion <strong>Jorge Solis</strong> (38-2-2), of Guadalajara, Mexico,<strong> </strong>defending his title against top-10 contender and one-time world title challenger <strong>Mario Santiago</strong> (21-2-1, 14 KOs), of Ponce, Puerto Rico; top-five contenders <strong>Urbano Antillion</strong> (27-1, 20 KOs), of Maywood, Calif., and <strong>Rene</strong> <strong>&#8220;Super Chiroz&#8221; Gonzalez</strong> (27-1-1, 21 KOs), of Managua, Nicaragua, battle it out in a WBA lightweight title elimination bout; and the pay-per-view debut of flyweight sensation <strong>Alfonso L</strong><strong>ó</strong><strong>pez</strong> (4-0, 2 KOs), of Mexico City, Mexico, the son of legendary world champion and Mexican icon<strong>Ricardo L</strong><strong>ó</strong><strong>pez</strong>.</p>
<p>Margarito (37-6, 27 KOs), of Tijuana, Mexico, captured his first world title in 2002, winning the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title with a tenth-round TKO of Antonio Diaz.  He reigned as WBO champion for five years, successfully defending his title seven times – five by knockout – including victories over world champions Kermit Cintron, Andrew Lewis and Joshua Clottey.  After losing the title to Paul Williams in 2007, Margarito dethroned International (IBF) welterweight champion Cintron in a rematch, knocking him out in their 2008 fight.  Margarito claimed his third welterweight title when he stopped undefeated WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto in the eleventh round of their July 2008 battle, arguably the fight of the year.</p>
<p>Garcia (28-2, 21 KOs), a native of Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico who fights out of Weslaco, Texas, enters this fight riding a five-year, 14-bout unbeaten streak.  Garcia possesses impressive power in both fists, where 75% of his victories have come by way of knockout and many of those stoppages produced by devastating body shots. During his impressive streak, Garcia has captured the Caribbean Boxing Federation interim welterweight title and the Texas welterweight title.</p>
<p>Aguascalientes organizes the largest festival held in Mexico, the <a title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Marcos_Fair" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Marcos_Fair" target="_blank">San Marcos Fair</a>, which takes place from the middle of April to the beginning of May. The celebration was held originally in the San Marcos church neighborhood, and its magnificent neoclassical garden; since then, it has greatly expanded to cover a huge area of exposition spaces, bullrings, nightclubs, theaters, performance stages, theme park, hotels, convention centers, and other attractions. It attracts almost 7 million visitors to Aguascalientes every year.</p>
<p>The suggested price for the Latin Fury 14 pay-per-view is $39.95.</p>

<p>Israeli World Boxing Association Champion Yuri Foreman will run a boxing clinic for 35 children of the “Police Boxing Program for Kids”.  While Yuri Foreman has his mind set on his world title defense against Miguel Cotto at Yankee Stadium on June 5, tomorrow, he will take a break from his rigorous training to give 35 young boxers some personal trainer tips and pointers. The master class, organized in collaboration with the <em>Israeli Consulate in NY</em>and the <em>NY Police Boxing Program for Kids,</em> is intended to expose the amateur boxers to the challenges of the professional world.</p>
<p>“I&#8217;m excited for the opportunity to team up with the representatives of my homeland and give back to the community. I started boxing at a very young age and it taught me discipline and respect&#8221; said<strong> Foreman</strong>. &#8220;Boxing is not just throwing punches in the air, it&#8217;s about staying focused mentally. I believe that through boxing these children will become not only stronger but smarter.&#8221;</p>
<p>“We&#8217;re glad to join Yuri Foreman once again in giving back to the people of New York. Yuri has taught us that being a world champion isn&#8217;t just a title but a responsibility and that a true winner uses his influence to make a change in the lives of others,” stated <strong>Joel Lion</strong>, Consul for Media at the Israeli Consulate.</p>
<p>“The Atlas Foundation/NYC Cops &amp; Kids Boxing program is honored to have Yuri Foreman speak to our boxers and provide them with a boxing clinic in Staten Island. Yuri is the perfect role model for our young boxers.  Graduating from college, hard working and always a gentleman, Yuri is a true champion inside the ring and out,” said <strong>Pat Russo</strong></p>
