Irish Olympic Silver medalist John Joe Nevin to make New York Debut at Brooklyn Brawl on August 25

BROOKLYN, NY (August 17, 2015) – Coney Island attracts people from all corners of the world who hit New York to experience the Big Apple brand of entertainment and aura by the sea-shore. Many Irish eyes will be smiling the night of Tuesday, August 25 at Coney Island, when people get a chance to see two-time Olympian John Joe Nevin in action at MCU Park.

Promoter Dmitriy Salita has put together a top-tier fight card, with a wide array of talented hitters ready to put on a show at the vacation destination featuring surf, sun, sand and carnival rides…and now the sweet science.

A 2012 silver medallist at the Olympics, Nevin is 3-0 (2 KOs) as a professional, and is pumped up to be part of his first “Brooklyn Brawl.

“I’m excited to be boxing in New York for the first time ever,” the 26-year-old Mullingar, Ireland native said. “I’ve fought all over the world but I’ve always dreamed of boxing in New York. I know there are lots of Irish fans in the area and hopefully we can bring some out.”

Fans will enjoy his two-fisted fury, his constant aggression and desire to achieve a KO; it will be Nevin’s first tangle in 2015: “I haven’t fought since last year so we’re looking forward to getting the rust off and showing what I can do.”

Nevin promises to be in fine form and has gotten the prep work needed to show off his top fighting form. “The boxing I get in Philly gyms is just what you need, working against world class boxers in the summer heat. I’m ready for the challenge. I can’t wait to get back in the ring and get my career moving again.”

Salita is proud to add this Irish prospect to a card topped by 25-3-1 featherweight contender Alexander Miskirtchian, born in the republic of Georgia. “John Joe Nevin is a great prospect and I am very happy that he will make his American debut in NYC on the “Brooklyn Brawl” series,” Salita said. “The Irish community has a very rich history of coming out in droves to see great boxing champions and I believe John Nevin has all the tools to follow in that rich lineage and impress the boxing fans, of all cultures, in NYC! John Joe is managed by one of the best managers in the sport, Cameron Dunkin, who has a great eye for elite talent, so we can all be assured he is the real deal. As a fan, I am excited about the John Joe Nevin fight August 25th in Coney Island, at MCU Park!”

In the main event, former world title challenger Alex Miskirtchian (25-3-1, 9 KOs) tops the slate against well-known Brooklyn battler Cornelius Lock (22-7-2, 14 KOs) in a featherweight clash scheduled for 10 rounds. NYPD officer Niyazov (7-0-3, 5KOs) meets Ariel “Fuego” Duran (8-7-1, 5KOs) of Queens in a highly-anticipated lightweight bout scheduled for eight rounds. Salita is also particularly excited about a six-round junior welterweight clash between Treysean “Trigger” Wiggins (6-1, 5KOs) of Newburgh, N.Y. and Francisco “El Gato” Figueroa (20-7-1, 13 KOs) of The Bronx.

Gates open at 6 p.m. with the first bout scheduled for 7 p.m. as “Brooklyn Brawl: Boxing At The Beach” brings pro boxing to the Coney Island boardwalk for the first time in 14 years. The last professional boxing event at the Brooklyn Cyclones’ venue occurred on July 8, 2001, when Hector Camacho Jr. defeated Jesse James Leija via a controversial, referee-halted TKO.

Snag your tix for “Boxing At the Beach” today, to insure you wind down the season with a rock em, sock em evening of pugilism.

Doors open at 6 PM. Log on to BrooklynCyclones.com to get your tickets or call 718-507-TIXX (718-507-8499).

Broadcast information will be announced at a later date. Interested corporate partners should contact Mark Fratto atmfratto@linacremedia.com

IRISH STAR JOHN JOE NEVIN’S PRO DEBUT TONIGHT IN BOSTON

BOSTON, MA (MARCH 17, 2014)– Superstars start somewhere and for London Olympic silver medalist, John Joe Nevin, his Monday night fight looks to be the perfect introduction into pro boxing.

It doesn’t get much better for an Irish boxer than making a pro debut on St. Patrick’s Day in Boston, before a sellout crowd at the famed House of Blues live on FoxSports to a national television audience.

Nevin is the most decorated male, amateur boxer in Irish history, filling his trophy case with his 2012 Olympic silver medal, two bronze medals from World Championships, along with two gold medals and a silver in the highly competitive European Championships.

Nevin meets unbeaten Puerto Rican Alberto Candelaria (3-0-1) in a six-round contest.

“Training has been great. I’m ready. I feel six rounds for my pro debut suits me. I’m looking forward to it, I can’t wait to get my career started,” Nevin said. “I really just wanna get in the ring and show what I can do, It’s a great day, St. Patrick’s in Boston, a great city for the Irish.

The more rounds the better it is for me. The longer it goes the better I am. I don’t know anything about my opponent, just he’s unbeaten and I expect him to be confident. Once I perform to my best, I believe no one in the world can beat me. So I’m just looking for a good performance and making all the Irish fans happy.”

Nevin’s longtime amateur trainer, Brian McKeown, has made the shift to the pro ranks with him. The pair have worked together back home in Mullingar, Ireland and in Philadelphia, Nevin’s home base stateside.

“John Joe has been boxing the best in the world for the last several years and he is well capable of looking after himself in any company,” said McKeown. “At this stage in his debut it’s more important that he performs, that he impresses. This is his first fight in the states, his first fight on American television, the first fight in his career. I think the crowd will love him, particularly the Irish”

This unique Fox Sports Network event is being promoted by Golden Boy and Murphys’ Boxing, the fight arm of the immensely popular, Boston based, Irish punk band “The Dropkick Murphys”. Nevin expects a fantastic atmosphere;

“I was there in Philly, when the “Dropkicks” did a show with our team, ‘GreenBlood’, last October. It was unreal, the music, the fights. Lots of excitement. That’s what the Irish fans love,” Nevin said. “I think it will be a brilliant night in Boston. I know people back home will be watching on BoxNation as well.”

Nevin was rated number one in the world amateur ratings before turning professional, building an amateur record of 235 victories against just 15 defeats. His team are fully confident.

“We’re excited about the opportunity and very much appreciate Murphys’ Boxing and Ken Casey, as well as Golden Boy for giving John Joe the chance to show his skills on such a great, unique stage for the Irish,” Nevin’s manager Tom Moran said. “We hope and believe this is the start of something special for Irish boxing. I think boxing fans will love John Joe”.
