Douglas gained national recognition when he scored a 8-round unanimous decision over undefeated Marquis Davis on January 17 that shown throughout the country on ShoBox.

“Since the fight on ShoBox, I have been getting a lot of buzz and I feel after two or three more fights, I will be ready for the significant fights that will shape my future,”finished Douglas.

Odom of Bowie, Maryland will take on Dougas Otieno Okola (24-8, 12 KO’s) of Nairobi, Kenya.

“My training went well,” said Odom, who is coming off a 2nd round stoppage of William Gill on March 15.

Despite fighting less than 3 weeks later, Odom is continuing to hit his stride.

“I just made an adjustment to be fighting so soon. I only know that my
opponent is a southpaw.”

Odom has a perfect knockout streak but unlike most fighters, the early win is not on his mind.

“I don’t think about the knockouts. If it happens, it happens. I know I have that talent so the knockouts do not surprise me. I just do my due diligence in the ring. Each fight I look forward to going rounds. I have never underestimate anyone i fight,” finished Odom.

Ellison of Newark, NJ will take part in a six round bout against English import and undefeated Iain Weaver (5-0, 3 KO’s).

“Everything is good and I am ready to fight,”said Ellison.

Ellison has seen very little of Weaver but he knows enough to know what to expect.

“I know he is a southpaw from the United Kingdom. He is a slick boxer that is not very aggressive.”

Going into his 12th fight, Ellison knows that the best is yet to come.

“My confidence is growing with each fight. I continue to learn more and more and now I am very comfortable in the ring and I just let my performance speak for itself. Hopefully by the end of the year I will start being in 8 & 10 round fights but that is up to my promoter but I am always in shape. All the hard work, the running the sparring is done. I am just waiting to prove to everybody that I am the best 130-pound fighter in the world,” Finished Ellison.

WEST ORANGE, NEW JERSEY (JANUARY 29, 2014)–This Friday night at the Richard J. Codey Arena in West Orange, New Jersey, Three members of the GH3 Promotions will be in action with two being featured in prominent fights as part of ESPN Friday Night Fight’s televised portion of the 12 bout card.

In the main event. popular Light Heavyweight Elvir Muriqi takes on undefeated Australian Blake Caparello in a bout scheduled for 10 rounds. In the potentially exciting co-feature, Jorge Diaz battles undefeated Luis Rosa in a Featherweight bout scheduled for 8 rounds. Also seeing action will be undefeated undefeated Super Featherweight Wanzell Ellison, who will be making his debut under the GH3 Promotions banner when he fights Esteban Villalba.

Muriqi of New York has a record of 40-5 with 24 knockouts feels a win over Caparello (18-0-1, 6 KO’s) is a must and has been completely focused in making that a reality.

“Training camp was good,” said Muriqi, who was training for a fight with former world champion Zsolt Erdei before Erdei bowed out of the fight. “The only thing that changed with the opponent switch was that I had to have southpaw sparring. That is not a big deal as people saw how i performed against Antonio Tarver a few years back who was not only a southpaw but the best Light Heavyweight in the world at that time.”

Muriqi has been mostly off the radar since the narrow loss to Tarver, knows that this is a spot to get back in the Light Heavyweight mix.

“This is a 2nd chance. A great opportunity to get in the mix. This is great for me to be back on television here in America and I am looking for better things after this. I will have a lot of fans here for me and I am not about to let them down”

Caparello is a virtual unknown here in the United States but Muriqi did as much scouting as he could.

“He is an awkward guy and he is undefeated. I know he will fight hard but this will be new to him to come here and fight on the road.”

Diaz of New Brunswick, New Jersey has a record of 17-2 with 10 knockouts and will be looking to redeem himself after his last appearance when he was stopped in four rounds bu Yenifel Vicente on ESPN Froday Night Fights.

“My training has been pleasing”, said Diaz.

Diaz who makes for action fights is not taking this fight lightly.

“I think me getting this opportunity has to do with our records and I am here because of the opportunity that he is presenting me with.”

Despite Rosa being from nearby Connecticut, Diaz does not know much about the 15-0 fighter.

“This is really the first I have heard of him. I have received feedback that his style is similar to my last opponent and that he likes to come forward.”

Most fighters that are coming off of stoppage defeats usually look for a soft touch to get back in the win column, By taking this fight, Diaz is proving that he is a what the old school pundits would call a “Real Fighter” by getting right back in with an undefeated opponent.

“I took this opportunity. I don’t want to waste anybodies time. I just want to get right back in the mix of things.”

Ellison of Newark, New Jersey will be battling Esteban Villalba in a bout scheduled for six rounds.

“Everything is going good,” Said Ellison. “I have been training for a long time and I am ready.”

“I do not know much about my opponent. It doesn’t matter because it will be the same outcome no matter who it is. It will be a knockout. The time is now. Friday I will show who I am, Venom!!”

“Camp was excellent and I had great sparring,” said Thompson, who lives and trains in Newark, New Jersey. “I see that Galarza likes to box and comes forward but i believe he is a bit slow.”

The 24-year-old Thompson doesn’t see the bout as a battle for Metro New York supremacy, even though Galarza in from nearby Brooklyn. “Nobody in New Jersey knows who he is. Everybody knows who I am”, said Thompson.

This will be Thompson’s second bout on SHOBOX. In May 2013, he scored four knockdowns en route to an 8-round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Geovanny Rodriguez.

“This fight is no big deal. I have been through this before. I have to come prepared regardless.”

Facing Galarza fits into Thompson’s plan of fighting top competition, as his last four opponents had a combined record of 37-4-1. Thompson knows these types of fights will advance his career. “To be the best, you have to beat the best. I am not here to just fight anybody”, said Thompson.

Thompson is an accomplished artist and he has something very special planned for his ring entrance.

“I am going to bring my paintings into the ring. You see guys with the entourage bring their belts. Well on Friday, I am going to bring my paintings.”

Douglas of Burke, Virginia, will be making his SHOBOX debut against the undefeated Davis. “It’s a good fight,” said Douglas. “A step up and its for the WBC FECARBOX title and it is on Showtime., so I am ready. I just know he is undefeated. Other than that, I really do not know much on him.

“This is a great opportunity to show the fans what I am made of and capable of. I am just ready to fight.”

Odom, of Washington, DC, is looking to keep his knockout streak alive, as none of his seven opponents have made it out of the first round.

“My camp has been good and I feel strong and fast. Everything is coming together and I am learning something new everyday”, said the 20-year-old Odom.

Odom has never seen Walker fight, and has no scouting report of his opponent. “All I know that he is a southpaw”, said Odom. “”I am just going to fight my fight. I am ready and just want to thank my team for the opportunity to fight and show the people my talent.”

Said GH3 Promotions Vito Mielnicki: “I am very excited for these three kids. John and Antoine have a chance to make big statements on the televised portion, and I believe that it won’t be long before Jerry joins them on the same platform.”
