Brooklyn Brawl returns to Webster Hall Jan 22nd

Brooklyn, NY (December 8, 2014)--The Holiday Season is in full swing, and soon enough, we will be ringing in the New Year. Already, plans are being hashed out for the year in boxing 2015, and promoter Dmitriy Salita is anticipating the forthcoming year will be chock full of stellar live events, and marked growth for the fighters under his Star of David Promotions banner.  On Jan. 22, Star of David will throw a New Year's bash, and present an evening of professional boxing at the famed New York City venue Webster Hall, Salita announced today.  "I am happy to be back in Webster Hall, a beautiful landmark building in the heart of New York City," Salita said. "The January 22nd show will showcase some of the hottest contenders and prospects in the world. The card is stacked from top to bottom!"  Topping the bill will be cruiserweight contender Steven Bujaj (13-0-1), who will defend his New York State cruiserweight title in an eight round bout. Also on the card will be the man who gave Bujaj the roughest test of his career, Junior Wright (12-0-1). The Chicago-based hitter, newly signed to Star of David, fought Bujaj to a draw last May, and has notched two wins since that scrap. Wright will compete in a six-round bout. Wright, who has his eyes on a world title crack soon, is currently in training camp with WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson, to help the Canada-based fighter prepare for his next bout.  Salita is thrilled to have Russian cruiserweight Alexey Zubov (6-0, 4 KOs) on the Webster Hall event. The national amateur champion fought more than 120 amateur bouts, and possesses power in both hands, so it's a good bet he will score a highlight-reel knockout in NYC. Also compteting in six round bouts will be New York city favorites and Brooklyn Brawl regulars lightweight Dimash Niyazov (6-0-3, 4 KO's) & Middleweight Akil Auguste.  Marcos Suarez (3-0-1, 1 KO) will also return to the ring in a four-round Jr. Welterweight bout; all three have a loyal fan base who cheer them on at Star of David promotions.  Popular Italian fighter Super Featherweight  Floriano Pagliara, a fan fave in the NYC region, returns to the ring as well in a six round bout. The show will take place at Landmark NYC venue Webster Hall.  Click here for tix info.

BROADWAY BOXING PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES

New York, NY (7/31/12) - Earlier today, at New York City's famed Jack Demsey's Bar and Restaurant, DiBella Entertainment hosted the final press conference for their upcoming Broadway Boxing card this Thursday held at Roseland Ballroom.  Gracing the presser was main event participant and DBE's red-hot undefeated super middleweight contender Thomas "Tommy Gun" Oosthuizen (19-0-1, 13 KO's), all the way from South Africa. He will square off against Florida's Rowland Bryant (16-1, 11KO's) in a 12-round clash in defense of his International Boxing Organization (IBO) title.  Also present was "Irish" Seanie Monaghan (14-0, 9 KO's), of Long Beach, NY, who will look to keep his perfect record intact when he takes on the always-tough George Armenta (14-9, 11 KO's) in a 10-round light heavyweight co-feature bout. Undercard participants Floriano "L'Italiano" Pagliara (13-4-1, 7 KO's) and former New York amateur standout Zach Ochoa (1-0, 1KO) also attended. Director of Public Relations for DBE, Kevin Rooney Jr. kicked off the presser thanking everyone for coming out to show their support for what is one of the most anticipated Broadway Boxing cards in the company's history.  He also took time to acknowledge the events sponsors, welcoming in new partners, Newlio, the Manfredi Auto Group, and Fight Now TV. Below are highlights from the presser: KEVIN ROONEY JR. "This is our fourth Broadway Boxing card this year, the third at Roseland Ballroom. The main event for this one is one of the best main events Broadway Boxing has ever produced. You have Thomas 'Tommy Gun' Oosthuizen taking on Rowland Bryant. This is a matchup that could easily be on 'ShoBox' or even HBO's 'Boxing After Dark' and we're putting it on our Broadway Boxing series. We're very excited about it. This is Tommy's New York debut. For those of you who haven't seen Tommy fight, he really is something special and he's going to start making some serious noise in the super middleweight division. "In the co-feature, we have 'Irish' Seanie Monaghan. If you're from New York or if you follow the New York boxing scene, Seanie is the biggest thing out there right now. He continues to pack the house each and every time he steps into the ring. He continues to impress and he continues to improve. It's a pleasure working with Seanie and his team, trainer Joe Higgins and manager PJ Kavanagh. We look forward to continue working with Seanie, watching him climb the light heavyweight rankings and march toward a world title shot." "For a long time Lou DiBella has wanted to broadcast Broadway Boxing live and now this is our first card where we're able to do that with Fight Now TV." THOMAS OOSTHUIZEN "We were working hard in training, Johnny Muller, Harold Volbrecht, everybody came together perfectly. I can't complain about anything. We're ready to fight. If you've trained as hard as I have, the actual fighting is the easy work, and I'm looking forward to the easy work on Thursday night. I just want to shine and show you people what I have and what I have in store for you." HAROLD VOLBRECHT (Oosthuizen trainer) I would like to thank DiBella Entertainment for getting us on this big show. We're taking this fight very seriously. We've been here in the States now for almost a month. We set up training camp in Pleasantville, New Jersey, and we brought very good sparring with us in Johnny Muller, a light heavyweight, a strong guy and good fighter. We had a tremendous training camp, Tommy's weight is looking good now. Tommy is so talented. He's improving with every fight. Every fighter fights different with different styles. He's got good hand speed, good power, he's the whole package. We're ready to fight anybody in the world now. He's an exciting fighter and the more fans see him on television, the more they're going to want him and to see him." SEANIE MONAGHAN "I want to thank DiBella Entertainment for putting me on again. Everyone keeps going back to my early days as a pro, but I'm really just getting started. I'm flying so high right now with my confidence and conditioning. It's going to be a lot of fun in the ring on Thursday night because I am more than ready to take care of business and I am a completely different fighter now than I was even from the last fight. I had a long, hard training camp, in the heat, on the track. Here I am, I'm ready to go and Thursday night you're going to see the new and improved Sean Monaghan." JOE HIGGINS (Monaghan trainer) "Some folks might consider Seanie a work in progress and that might have been true early on, he's a fire-breathing prospect right now. It's a testimony to his conditioning. As all trainers know, when a fighter makes your job easy, you can really get into a fighter's head, so Sean, as a professional, trains three times a day half the week, and two times a day the other half of the week. He only receives one day off. From the last fight to this bout, he was given a month off. He took one week off, he said, 'Let's get back in the gym.' He doesn't want to miss one step of improvement. Show me one boxer in this New York area whose first fight to 14th fight who has improved as well as Sean has, I really don't think there is one. We are purposely choosing opponents that are going to makes us work. We are not picking the guys who are looking to get knocked out because he's got the power to knock guys right out. What good would that do us when he's got things to work on? Sean has improved on those things and that's what makes him a fire-breathing prospect. He will win impressively on Thursday night like he did in that last fight. I do believe it will be a stoppage, but we are prepared to go 10 full, hard rounds if need be. With Seanie Monaghan, you have the total package and I predict he will be a world champion." FLORIANO PAGLIARA "Thank you to DiBella Entertainment for this opportunity. My life has definitely changed since coming to the United States and turning pro. My English is getting better. I've fought already three times this year and now I am so happy to have a great team around me. Thank you to Richie Komissar, Tommy Gallagher and DiBella Entertainment. I look forward in the near future to one day fight for the Italian championship." ZACH OCHOA "Thank you for coming out supporting us. I'm looking forward to Thursday and I want you guys to know that I am training real hard. I've been training hard since my pro debut. I'm staying in the gym, I'm ready to go, I'm ready to fight and I'm going to put on a great show for everybody." DOUG JACOBS (Fight Now TV) "It's great to be working with DiBella Entertainment. I've known Lou a long time and it's great to finally do a show with him. For those of you who don't know, Fight Now TV is a 24/7 sports channel that recently launched.

SUPER FEATHERWEIGHT FLORIANO PAGLIARA COOKINGUP SOME FAN INTEREST IN AMERICA : GIVES BACK TO THE COMMUNITY AND RETURNS TO THE RING THIS THURSDAY NIGHT IN NEW YORK CITY

NEW YORK (July 30, 2012)—This Thursday night at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City, popular Italian Super Featherweight Floriano Paglaira returns to the ring when he takes on Willie Villanueva of Alberquercue, New Mexico.

Pagliara, from the coastal city of Cecine, Italy now resides in Brooklyn has become one of the biggest favorites on the Broadway Boxing series.

The friendly and approachable IBF Medeteranian Super featherweight Champion sports a respectable 13-4 (7ko) record and  is quickly becoming one of the top ticket sellers in the New York Area. Boxing is just one of his many interests and talents.  Floriano’s has many outside interests that seperates him from a lot of pugilists.   

“Floriano has such a great personality that people of this community have grown to love him”, said Pagliara’s American promoter Rich Komissar of RKO Boxing International.

“It’s amazing that in such a short period of time that he has gained fans from all five boroughs.  Local businesses from New Yorks  many Little Italy sections sport his posters every tme he fights.  The folks on Artur Avenue in the Bronx love him.  The same with Corona , Queens, Staten Island, Manhattan and especially the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn.  I am so proud to be involved with such a great young man.  He really gives 1000% of himself. He is a true sportsman and gentleman.  I’ve been around boxing and fighters all of my life. I can honestly say I’ve never met any fighter with such a true heart. He is truly intoxicating to be around".

Rich isn’t the only Komissar that has become close to the Champ. “He has become a part of our family. He treats me as a son would treat a father and I certainly feel the same towards him.  Unlike most sons, Floriano asks for nothing and gives unconditionally” Komissar jokingly added. “My wife adores him”  

Komissar, who’s son Dan is in the restaurant business in New Jersey has recently noticed the close relationship between his son and Floriano can grow into a business relationship “Floriano is a trained chef by trade back in Cecine which is along the Tuscan coast. Floriano and his future bride Stefi (a certified Organic Nutrtionist) are self described “Foodies”. They both love to cook.

Floriano and Danny Komissar have talked about collaborating together and possibly opening up an eatery sometime in the future” The younger Komissar is planning a  fact finding trip to the Tuscan region in late summer and early fall 2012

Komissar, a cancer survivor since a 2007 bout with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma  is involved with the Lymphoma Research Foundation. The Komissar family, along with their friends take part in twice annual Lymphomathon fundraisers

“This year Floriano has offered to become a part of our team. We plan on raising double or maybe triple our regular fund raising efforts. This is very personal to me as I am a survivor of lymphoma and for Floriano to getinvolved  more than touches my heart”

Besides the Lymphomathon project, Floriano is a member of the Long Island New York Chapter of National Cooley’s Anemia Foundation which raises money to help children affected by a disease which attacks mosly youngters from the Medeteranian areas of the world.  

Additionally, he recently joined fellow boxer and foundation founder “Captain” Boyd Melson’s Team Fight ToWalk which raises money for spinal cord research and the Veteran Boxers Association Ring 8 NY which is an organization that caters to the needs of retired boxers. 

Floriano is trained by Don Saxbey out of Gleasons Gym in Brooklyn New York and advised professionally by Rich Komissar of RKO Boxing International the legendary  New York fight personality Tommy Gallagher.

Saxbey added “Floriano is ready for this important fight against Villanueva, he is in the gym everyday and he has been developing more of an American style and we have seen the improvement which has led to a three fight winning streak, He is ready to go go go”

Tickets are priced at $125, $85, $65, and $45, and are on sale now. Tickets can be purchased through any Ticketmaster outlet, visiting Ticketmaster.com, or calling RKO Boxing at 908 240 2097.

FLORIANO PAGLIARA CONTINUES HIS AMERICAN DREAM ON JUNE 14TH IN NEW YORK CITY

NEW YORK (May 23, 2012)-On Thursday night June 14th at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City, Floriano "L’Italiano" Pagliara will return to the squared circle when he takes part on the Lou DiBella’s Popular Broadway Boxing Television Series

Pagliara who has a record of 12-4-1 with seven knockouts will be continuing on his quest to live the American dream as the import from Cecine, Italy will be making his second New York City appearance over the past three months

For this bout, the popular IBF Mediterranean Super Featherweight Champion has set up training in the Aqua Villiage Water Park in his hometown of Cecine Italy near the Livornese coast.

Pagliara has become a major draw in the New York area as he quickly made an impression on the many Italian fans in the “Little Italy” sections of the city including the Williamsburgh Brooklyn neighborhood and on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx

L”Italiano as he is referred to in America could have stayed in Italy and been very successful as he is a very popular attraction in the Tuscan resort coastal town where he routinely draws 3,000 plus fans for his bouts.

“People are just drawn to Floriano, he is very approachable and a pleasure to work with said Rich Komissar, Pagliara's American sponsor and matchmaker at RKO Boxing. “He works hard and promotes himself well. We had an overflow of people outside BB Kings looking for tickets to his fight on March 7^th. The place was sold out more than a week in advance. Even Floriano was surprised” added Komissar. We are getting hit every day by more and more people looking to know when his next fight is” 

Another reason for Floriano's popularity is that he gets involved in community issues. He is a member of the Ring 8 NY Veteran Boxers Association which provides help to retired boxers. Floriano is hoping to become the official liaison to the retired Italian American fighters in the New York area. "Floriano cares as much as he works" said Tommy Gallagher, the veteran boxing trainer from New York who also is one of the directors on the board for Ring8 NY 

Additionally Pagliara has recently become involved with the Cooley's Anemia Foundation. Cooley's Anemia is a blood disorder that mostly affects children with Mediterranean heritage. Children afflicted with Cooley's Anemia or Thalassemia are not expected to live much past their teen years. The mission of the Cooley's Anemia Foundation is to help in advancing the treatment and cure for this fatal blood disease. Floriano, with the help of local businessman and organization member Paul Tucci is hoping to become more involved with the Long Island Fund Raising Chapter.  (www.thalassemia.com)

“The DiBella goup has seen the potential and the fan base that Floriano brings and as he continues to appear on Broadway Boxing, there are discussions for Floriano's fights to be syndicated back in Italy.”

Tickets are priced at $125, $85, $65 and $45, with a limited number of VIP tables available for purchase as well. VIP Tickets are priced at $150, and there are four seats to a table. Tickets can be purchased by calling RKO Boxing at 908-240-2097 or DiBella Entertainment at 212-947-2577. Call soon as tickets are already going fast and a third consecutive sellout for the Broadway Boxing series is expected
