Posted on by

Update: This show has been canceled. 

Along with THREE WBA/NABA belts being fought for, there is also a WBF heavyweight fight. This is one boxing event you can’t miss.

Tyler "The Hitman" Hultin

Billy Lyell vs Cerresso Fort for the WBA/NABA belt was enough to sell this fight fan a ticket, add both Jason and Allen Litzau  fighting for WBA straps and its cant miss good times. Corey Rodriguez vs Tyler Hultin has a ton of buzz and our early pick for fight of the night!

Unfortunately there have been some false rumors about this show prompting Joy Boy Promotions to make the below statement on their fan page.

“I just want to settle any rumors that may have been heard……Joy Boy Promotions is having the September 29, 2012 Triple WBA/NABA World Title fight and also the WBF Intercontinental World Title Fight. Get your tickets at vital culture. Our website is under construction but you can click on and view the site and updated fight information as it is loaded.

Floyd Mayweather Sr. Joy Boy Promotions. THREE title fights Two sanctioned by the WBA.

There are a ton of great fights happening over the next several weeks and we are looking forward to all of them! September 29 at The Aldrich Arena Maplewood, MN is promoted by Floyd Mayweather Sr., Joy Boy Promotions. They are looking to do their first show in style, featuring top Minnesota fighters in WBA sanctioned title fights. There is a good chance that one or both Cerresso Fort and Jason Litzau could come away with a strap.

Billy Lyell told fightnews.com he was coming to Minnesota to fight a (13,0) prospect we know as “Sir” Cerresso Fort. This is a huge opportunity for Fort to step up the ranking ladder and really make a name for himself. The Sr. Mayweather has been working with Fort since his bout and victory over Dave Pederson a couple months ago.

I have also been told by the promotion that there is an exciting Heavyweight bout for a WBF belt to also be featured on the above card.

A fight I am truly looking forward to pits two of Minnesota’s most exciting fighters against each other. Tyler “The Hitman” Hultin vs Corey “Collateral Damage” Rodriguez will in my opinion steel the show, as both fighters are known for their fearlessness and intense respect for one another. I have yet to go to a regional event where if one of these two were fighting it was not fight of the night, or as close as it gets to being so. Corey Rodriguez must first come through his fight this Saturday night at the Crown Plaza.

There are other regional names attached to the show but will wait for further confirmation from their camps. Look for much more news on Joy Boy’s upcoming event in the days and weeks to follow. Keep September 29 open, it’s looking like the sweet science will shine! And as always Check out all the talk on The Leagues Facebook page I keep the web site as current as possible but honestly the page is the place to be.

 

Ira Terry (24,8), is Jason Litzau’s latest opponent for Saturday night…

Another change, but an upgrade in opponent for Jason Litzau (28,3). He fights Saturday night at the Hyatt in Minneapolis MN. Litzau on FB… “My opponent, Corey Alarcon pulled out because he injured himself in training. Now I’m fighting an even better opponent, Ira Terry. His record is 24-8 with 14 KO’s. He will be dangerous, but, I am ready for him. Please don’t miss this fight. See you there!”

Aaron “Gorilla” Green (5,0) is in scary good shape for his fight next Saturday… He’s been in full camp mode for some time and will finally be able to release  all that training and new weapons in less than a week.. Contact team Green for tickets!

Next Saturday, June 16, Boxing is back in Minneapolis MN. RDS and SEG will be bring you; Jason Litzau (28,3), Aaron Green (5,0 all early KO’s), Donny Drama and more… Not a ton of information on full card out there, but it is warm in MN and boxing can take a back seat to fishing, golfing and summer fun… Update: Quote from Jason Litzau’s FB wall… “My opponent has changed, the result will be the same. Two opponents have pulled out, but, a brave mexican has accepted the challenge. I will be fighting him at a higher weight class just to get him to come.

The fight is this Saturday. I will not let happen what happened to Manny Pacquiao. I will not leave it to the judges.

Please buy your tickets from me. I need them for my purse. Please call Bob Van Syckle 732-489-3631 or Eddie Drury 651-353-9001.

Thanks and see you Saturday night at the Hyatt in Minneapolis.”

June 23 will bring more pro boxing action as Cerresso Fort and Dave Peterson go at it in what should be a very fun fight. Fort feels he is ready for the states best, Caleb Truax and Andy Kolle. Peterson’s team has always considered Dave one of the state’s elite fighters. This will be power vs sweet science in most peoples eyes. Can Peterson withstand Fort’s size and power advantage early on? Will Fort make 154 and still have the energy and power to deal with Dave’s slickness? Big fan of both of these guys and can see ways each can win….

T-Rex Promotions plans on bringing some summer fun to the twin ports July 21… This show will feature local favorite RJ “T-Rex” Laase in the main event. The local flavor will continue throughout the night with; Winston Anderson (Cloquet), Joe Lorenzi (Duluth, also owner of Lorenzi’s Boxing in West Duluth), Randy Ronchi (Superior) vs Andrew Selvig (Somebodies 0 must go), Selvig and Ronchi have fought each other in the cage with Ronchi getting the win, and the fight getting fight of the night. Both these guys will come in swinging, very fan friendly fight! Tyler Hultin always brings the action and western MN, Plus much more… …Matchmaker Andy Kolle should have a full line-up soon….

 

Notes from around the region’s pro boxing scene…

Dustin “Bull Dog” Mason’s broken right hand puts a pretty big damper on a couple upcoming cards. He was set to fight Brad Patraw (7,4) June 16 and depending on how that fight went would have been making a pretty big step up in competition and fighting in the co main July 21. Team Bull Dog is sick about his injury and is thankful to RDS, Brad Patraw, and T-Rex Promotions for the opportunities they had set for him and wants his fans to know he will get the right procedures done and come back stronger than ever and ready for even bigger fights….

MinnesotaBoxing.com is reporting that Jason Litzau (28,3) is in New Jersey preparing for his return to action at the Hyatt in Minneapolis MN June 16 (RDS Promotions). Litzau is set to fight Leon Bobo in the main event….

Word is both Cerresso Fort and Dave Peterson are training harder than ever for their showdown June 23 (Draw Events, Jungle Boy Boxing). Worries about Fort making weight are fading as he is looking leaner than ever….. There is still no opponent named for Al Sands….

T-Rex Promotions plan to start announcing fights next week for their July 21 show at Wessman Arena. RJ “T-Rex” Laase (8,1) and team plan on taking their biggest step-up to date in the main event. Tyler Hultin, Winston Anderson, and Joe Lorenzi have all verbally committed to this card. Should be another full house for great fights….

RDS Promotion’s main is set for June 16…Notes on upcoming shows…

Jason Litzau (28-3) vs Leon Bobo (18-9-1) will headline June 16th’s show at the Hyatt in Minneapolis….. This will be Jason’s first home fight in several years….The show looks to be complete and a good one… Green/Gibson, Patraw/Mason also featured.

June 23

Cerresso Fort (12,0,1) vs Dave Peterson (13,0) will headline this show to be held at Black Bear Casino. Draw Events and Jungle Boy Boxing’s first stab at promoting pro boxing brings a nice main. The Fort/Peterson fight will be an 8 rounder. They have added rounds to all their fights now and it looks like Al Sands will be stepping up to a 6 rounder but no opponent named yet. I commend Draw Events, for in the end deciding to go with an ABC member commission.

 

July 21

T-Rex Promotions with MNBoxingLeague.com will be putting on another show at Wessman Arena in Superior WI. RJ “T-Rex” Laase will be headlining the card in his stiffest fight to date. Tyler ” Hit Man” Hultin, Dustin “Bull Dog” Mason (Mason has business to take care of June 16 first), and  Winston Anderson will all be featured along with several more exciting fights. Andy “Kaos” Kolle will be heavily involved in the business side of this show while his broken left hand is healing….

Jason Litzau (28,3) vs TBA 8 rounds

Brad Patraw (7,4) vs Dustin Mason (3,0) 6 rounds

Aaron Green (5,0) vs TJ Gibson (1,2) 6 rounds

Really looking forward to seeing Jason Litzau back in action in MN. Patraw vs Mason has been brewing ever since Mason turned pro, should be fireworks. Green vs Gibson may be Green’s stiffest challenge yet (Gibson KOed Al Sands last fall). Everyone is excited to see what amateur standout Rob Brant will do as a pro…..

 

Here is the June 23 card as it stands today. Boxrec.com June 23, Black Bear Casino, Carlton, MN.

Jungle Boy and Draw Events

Al Sands (3,1) vs TBA ? rounds

Cerresso Fort (12,0,1) vs Dave Peterson (13,0) ? rounds

Michael Faulk (2,1) vs Richard Hargraves (2,0,1) ? rounds

Davalance Depoe (Debut) vs John Kingbird (Debut) ? rounds

Jerome LeBarge (Debut) vs Matthew Karaja (Debut) ? rounds

Fort vs Peterson could be interesting, new weight for Fort and Peterson has only one fight since 2009. Sands will look to continue to rebuild from his stunning loss to Gibson last fall, his handlers got him a quick win and it will be interesting to see what they feel he is ready for. Faulk has been in training camps with some of the best, love to see what he has. The rest of the card is unknowns. Tried all the normal fight information sites but nothing, have to go and find out…..
