In his next bout, Barnwell scored his biggest win to date when he earned a six round split decision over undefeated and former world Jr. Amateur champion Joey Dawejko in Atlantic City.

Barnwell is coming off a six round unanimous decision over David Williams on May 24^th in White Plains, New York.

“It’s been a roller coaster,” said Barnwell.

Barnwell has been a regular in the camps of major fighters such as WBA Heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin, Former Cruiserweight champion Denis Lebedev and world Heavyweight champions the Klitschko brothers.

“People who saw me in these camps were very impressed and I started getting a lot of offers.

Everything I have heard about Vito and GH3 has been positive, as I have talked to some professionals and amateurs who have worked with him. I expect great things to happen in the future.”

Barnwell is trained by Daniel Campbell.

“I met Vito in Colorado Springs and after meeting with him for a couple of days, I knew Vito is the type of person that I want Dorsett to be with," said Campbell.

“The Klitschko’s are getting a little long in the tooth and with the right person guiding Dorsett and us picking the right fight, one day he will be champion.  This is the right time.”

Barnwell will make his first appearance under the GH3 Banner on August 3^rd in Whitehall, New York.

DOMINIC BREAZEALE BACK IN ACTION TONIGHT

WILL BE FEATURED IN THE   CO-MAIN EVENT TONIGHT FOR   "FIGHT NIGHT - INDEPENDENCE EXPLOSION"!          Press Release For Immediate Release

Fayetteville, North Carolina (July 5, 2013) - Heavyweight prospect Dominic "Trouble" Breazeale (5-0, 5 KO's) makes his anticipated return to the ring this evening and will be featured in the co-main event for "Fight Night - Independence Explosion" in Fayetteville, North Carolina.  What's particularly special about this event, is that it is the first time since 1999 that boxing is returning to Fort Bragg, home of the nation's largest military installations.  It comes at a perfect time as the nation just celebrated it's 237th year ofIndependence yesterday. A year ago, Breazeale represented the United States of America in the 2012 London Olympic Games participating in the Super Heavyweight division.  Since that time, Breazeale couldn't have asked for a better start to his professional career.  Following his televised ShoBox pro debut in November, Breazeale has continued to make quick work of his opponents ending of all his bouts in two rounds or less.  Under the tutelage of world renowned boxing trainer John Bray, Breazeale is continuing to improve and is adjusting very well to the professional ranks.  So well, that it has caught the eyes and attention of respected veteran trainers and heavyweights alike. This past April, WBA World Heavyweight Champion Alexander Povetkin invited Breazeale and Bray to Russia to spar with the champ in preparation for his world title bout.  Dominic made a great impression sparring up to ten rounds with the champ.  It was a great experience for him and he was appreciative of the opportunity.     When asked about the opportunity to spar with Povetkin, Breazeale indicated that, "it was a great experience and a great opportunity to get in the ring with the WBA world champ. The sparring was invaluable to my career and I'm ready to show case the skills that I've learned in the ring".  Bray, also noted that "it was a good experience for Dominic to experience Alexander Povetkin's camp, which was a world class environment.  Dominic learned a great deal being in the ring with the champ and he grew and matured in his skills everyday".    So far, 2013 has been a great year for Breazeale as he had the opportunity to fight on high profile undercards and in his last outing, he experienced what it was like to fight on Cinco De Mayo weekend in Las Vegas.  Now, the hard-hitting Breazeale will be featured in his first co-main event with two of his Olympic teammates, battling it out in front of our nation's finest. He's exciting for the opportunity and is looking forward to putting on a great show.  "I want to thank the city of Fayetteville for welcoming me to their town and tonight is definitely going to be an explosion.  It's always great to be showcased in an event like this one, where I am back with my Olympic brothers.  Tonight is going to be a great night."   Breazeale is looking to make quick work of his opponent tonight as he has something very special to get back to in California.  Dominic and his wife Christina were recently blessed with their third baby boy a couple of weeks ago.       It is going to be a great experience for Dominic "Trouble" Breazeale and he feels humbled just for the opportunities he has been given.  He is looking forward to putting on a great show in an effort to give back to the men and women in our Armed Forces who put their lives on the line everyday.

TRAVIS KAUFFMAN BACK WITH 2ND ROUND DESTRUCTION OVER PERRYMAN IN MEMPHIS

READING, PA (February 20, 2013)—This past Friday in Memphis, Heavyweight prospect Travis “GW Hope” Kauffman returned to the ring with a second round destruction over Willie Perryman.

Kauffman, 27 years old of Reading, PA dominated the first round and scored what looked like a knockdown in round one but somehow the referee ruled a low blow.

In round two, Kauffman landed a hard right that was followed by a left hook that sent Perryman for the count and the bout was ended at 2:28 of round two.

“I am happy to be back in the ring”, said Travis

“It’s time to move on to bigger and better things.  I am now 24-1 with 18 knockouts and I want to step it up behind me.  I have a great promotional team behind me in Greg Cohen Promotions and they will move me the right way.  I am now ranked number fourteen by the WBA so I am looking at (champion) Alexander Povetkin or someone of that caliber.”

“My fans want me to rematch Tony Grano and of course I would like to redeem myself”

Said Kauffman’s father/trainer Marshall Kauffman, “It’s great to see Travis back in the ring.  It is time to move on to bigger and better opportunities”

The Rock is Ready to Shock

Former undisputed and two-time Heavyweight Champion Hasim "The Rock" Rahman (50-7-2, 41 KOs) is putting the final touches on an "intense" training camp that has him in the best shape he's been in a decade. Rahman will challenge WBA World Heavyweight Champion Alexander Povetkin (24-0, 16 KOs) on Saturday, September 29 at the Sporthalle in Hamburg, Germany, and his promoter says the conditions are ripe for another upset KO to win the title. "They've been basically writing Hasim off since the start of the promotion," said Greg Cohen of Greg Cohen Promotions, Rahman's promoter. "Hasim isn't even on the posters for this event. They've been making jokes and having fun. But while they were doing that, Hasim has been getting himself into fantastic shape." According to Cohen, it's all reminiscent of the buildup to Rahman's upset KO over Lennox Lewis 11 years ago.   "Hasim is going to shock the world again. This is the exact situation you don't put Rahman in. Disrespected. Overlooked. An over-confident champion thinking he can just show up and win. But in the gym with Hasim, and seeing how focused he is, you know something's about to happen. The 39-year-old Rahman was originally scheduled to face Povetkin on July 14, but an injury forced the postponement. "Hasim is completely healthy and ready to pull off the upset. I think at this stage of his career, it takes a big fight like this and an opponent and his people behaving this way to put him at peak motivation... and that's what he is. Hasim Rahman is 100% ready to shock the world."

In a toe-to-toe battle between quick-handed Estrada (19-4, 5 KOs) and cagey southpaw Gonzales (20-7, 10 KOs), Providence heavyweight Estrada consistently beat Gonzales, a former world title challenger and 1992 Puerto Rican Olympian, to the punch. Estrada won all eight rounds on each of the three judges' scorecards by scores of 80-72. "I thought it was a good performance," Estrada said after the fight. "The dude can take a shot. Once I realized that he wouldn't go, I boxed his head off. I hurt my thumb a little in the second round, so I boxed and used my jab. "Next? If (Tony) Grano wants to fight, let's go. I've been trying to get him in the ring for a long time." The comeback of former USBA and NABO middleweight champion Brian "The Bull" Barbosa (31-6, 23 KOs), now fighting out of Providence, continued on a high note in the co-feature. Barbosa decked light heavyweight John "Rusty" Johnson (13-3, 11 KOs) twice en route his fifth-round TKO victory. Pawtucket (RI) junior welterweight Diego Pereira (7-0-1, 3 KOs) kept his unbeaten record intact, destroying dangerous William "Chino" Correa (9-6, KOs) by way of a second-round technical knockout. Toka Kahn-Clary  (Photo by Emily Harney)    The long awaited pro debut of junior lightweight Toka Khan-Clary was a monumental success.

The young southpaw dropped Caban again in the second and pounded the New Yorker until the referee halted the action later in the same round. Unbeaten junior welterweight Jair Ramos (3-0, 2 KOs) stopped an overmatched Joel Alarcon in the third round.

Injury-free Jason 'Big Six' Estrada Climbing back to top of heavyweight division

Headlining 'Takeover' card Friday night in Providence    Jason "Big Six" Estrada    PROVIDENCE (June 26, 2012) --  Healthy for the first time in his professional career, 2004 U.S. Olympian Jason "Big Six" Estrada continues his march back to the top of the heavyweight division, headlining Friday night's Big Six Entertainment-presented "Takeover" card, at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence. The 31-year-old Estrada (18-4, 5 KOs), fighting out of Providence, faces 1992 Puerto Rican Olympian Alex Gonzales (20-6, 10 KOs) in the eight-round main event.  One of the most decorated amateur boxers in United States history, Estrada is coming off of arguably his most impressive performance last March, a stunning second-round knockout of veteran Dominque Alexander.  At the height of his career, to date, Estrada went the distance on the road in highly competitive fights with present World Boxing Association ("WBA") World Heavyweight Champion Alexander Povetkin, as well as two-time, two-division world champion  Tomasz Adamek.   Estrada's most notable victims have included Lance Whitaker, Derek Bryant, Charles Shufford and Zuri Lawrence.  Throughout his career, however, Jason was hampered by aggravating injuries to his elbow and ankle, which have been repaired through surgeries, allowing him to fight pain-free and putting him back in the heavyweight picture. "This is the first time I've been healthy since before the 2004 Olympic Games (he suffered from plantar fasciitis)," Estrada explained.  "It's made a huge difference for me, training and in fights.  I'm not worried anymore about hurting something.  Now, I'm throwing without recourse. "This is another one of our shows (Big Six Entertainment), so I don't have to worry about all of the nonsense working for other promoters.  I want to keep active.  I enjoy fighting at home in Providence.  I've never felt added pressure fighting here but, fighting in front of family and friends, I always want to look good, not just win." Gonzales is an experienced southpaw who is a past United States Boxing Association heavyweight champion.  He has been in the ring with former world champion Vassiliy Jirov and world title challenger Calvin Brock. "I don't have problems fighting southpaws," Estrada said.  "I've beaten four or five as a pro and fought so many as an amateur.  In the early nineties, southpaw was the style of many International boxers. "I'm getting back to where I was.  I'm not there, yet, but I believe a big fight is on the horizon for me.  I just want to keep fighting and beat some big names.  I'm hoping to win a few titles and make some money before it's all over for me." In the six-round co-feature, former USBA/NABO middleweight champion Brian "The Bull" Barbosa (30-6, 22 KOs), also fighting out of Providence, meets dangerous Mississippi light heavyweight John Johnson (13-2, 10 KOs). Pawtucket (RI) welterweight Diego Periera (6-0-1, 2 KOs) puts his unbeaten on the line versus William "Chino" Correa (9-5, 8 KOs), of Framingham (MA), in a six-round contest. Also fighting on the undercard in four-round bouts are Providence welterweight Kali Reiss (4-1-1, 2 KOs) vs. Lyneisha Jefferson (0-1), of Newark (NJ), Providence junior welterweight Josh "Bam Bam" Beeman (4-11-3, 2 KOs) vs. Robert Hunt (0-2), of Hyannis (MA), Waterbury (CT) light welterweight Jair Ramos (2-0, 1 KO) vs. New Bedford's Joel Alarcon (0-2), Providence's Rameil Shelton (0-4) vs. Puerto Rican junior middleweight Jesus Cintron (0-1-1), and Cape Cod heavyweight Jesse Barboza (4-1-1, 3 KOs), of Hyannis (MA), vs. Salmon "Manos de Piedra" Beccera (2-5, 2 KOs). Pawtucket lightweight prospect Toka Kahn-Clary, a 2010 National Golden Gloves champion who has signed a promotional deal with Top Rank, makes his much anticipated pro debut against Jonathan Caban (0-2) in a four-round match.  All fights and fighters are subject to change.
