That confidence is being back to a weight class to where Diaz feels that he can not only be a contender but a world champion.

"I am the a new Jorge Diaz.  I am the real Jorge Diaz.  I was in the Arturo Gatti camp before and I think I was trying to be too much like him.  I feel now with the way I am feeling within three or four fights, I am a world champion.  I know that best has yet to come."

Undefeated Middleweight Antoine "Action" Douglas ready for Jose Medina this Friday in Somerset, New Jersey


Plus Featherweight Jorge Diaz taking on Jose Haro in the co-feature; Also undefeated John Magda, Bienvenido Diaz, Glenn Dezurn & Anthony Cintron in action

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Somerset, NJ (October 20, 2014)--This Friday night at the Ukrainian Cultural Center, undefeated Middleweight prospect Antoine Douglas (14-0-1, 9 KO's) will take on tough veteran Jose Medina (18-15-1, 7 KO's) of Tilton, NH in a eight round bout that will headline a big night of boxing promoted by GH3 Promotions.

Douglas of Burke, Virginia has been training hard for this bout as he is coming off the first blemish of his career when he was held to a majority draw against former world title challenger Michel Soro on July 25.

"Everything has been good.  I have been training real hard for this fight," said Douglas.

Douglas was seemingly cruising to a victory as he used a consistent punch output and was firmly in control of the bout until a right hand in the 8th round changed things and Douglas held on for the draw.  The bout proved to be a big learning experience for the 22 year-old.

"I learned that I need to be fighting at 160 lbs," in reference to the bout being contested at 157 lbs where Douglas weighed in at a just 155 1/2.

"I was doing well and just he got me with a good punch over my jab."

In Medina he will be taking on an opponent who has wins over Issac Rodriguez (17-1) and Chris Fitzpatrick (14-0) and has a draw with former world champion Joachim Alcine (32-2).

"Medina is an experienced guy.  He has had his fair share of fights and he definitely comes to fight."

The fight with Soro headlined the 200th edition of Sho Box and with a win over Medina, Douglas will be back on the national television circuit.

"After this, I expect more television fight, more air time and I will continue to move forward.

Douglas was in camp with recent IBF Middleweight champion Sam Soliman.  Being in camp with the former champ did a great service for Douglas.

"It was a great experience sparring with Soliman.  He is a cool guy and great to work with.  It doesn't get better then to spar with a world champion.

"I am ready to fight as usual and I am ready to bring home another victory." 

GH3 Promotions has taken full responsibility for his last catch weight at 157 lbs," said GH3 CEO Vito Mielnicki.  

"Douglas being so dedicated to his craft, he came in at 155 and was not able to hydrate Back up after the weigh in.  I think me wanting him to showcase his skills almost caused a bad decision on my part.  He is one the most talented up coming stars in the game.  He is a baby and he is growing every fight.  GH3 Promotions is looking to get him 3 fights by January 15 and then make are move on the middleweight title.  I know he can beat anyone in the game.  He is that special.", finished Mielnicki

Moore-Medina headlines 'Changing The Game' in Boston


Sept. 7 at The Royale Nightclub
BOSTON (August 13, 2013) -- Undefeated Cleveland light middleweight Michael Moore (12-0 (6 KOs) will headline the "Changing The Game" professional boxing card, presented by Big Six Entertainment in association with Danny Kelly Promotions, on Saturday, September 7 (special 5 p.m. ET start) at The Royale Nightclub Boston (formerly The Roxy), located in the downtown theater district.

"We are excited about coming right back to The Royale Boston," Big Six Entertainment president Artie DePinho said. "The combination of New England fight fans and the venue created an electric atmosphere at our last event. We are putting together another night of can't-miss entertainment and I encourage everybody to get tickets early."

The fast-rising Moore, who fights out of the same city that has produced contemporary world-title contenders such as Willie Nelson and Miguel Gonzales, will face face the toughest test of his young professional career, Jose "Stinger" Medina (18-13-1, 7 KOs), in an eight-round bout. Media is considered a gatekeeper whose record is deceiving because so many of his fights have been in his opponent's backyard, many on short notice.

Medina, fighting out nearby Quincy (MA), is coming of a win by six-round decision over Allen Conyers (12-8) in July. The 30-year-old Mexico-born fighter has upset 17-1 Issac Rodrigues (KO4) and he fought world champion Joachim Alcine to an eight-round draw in 2011, in which most observers felt Medina deserved the decision.  Medina, who has only been stopped twice in 32 fights, has been the distance against world-class opponents such Fernando Guerrero, Bronco McKart and Matthew Hatton, as well as prospects Lamar Russ and Nick Brinson.   

Popular Irish welterweight Michael McLaughlin (5-1-1, 3 KOs), the Donegal boxer now living in Boston, is slated to be in the six-round co-feature.  2012 National PAL Championship gold-medalist, Lynn welterweight Rashidi "Prince" Ellis (1-0), returns to the scene of his successful professional debut on July 27 to fight in a four-rounder.

Also slated to fight on the undercard in separate four-round matches, against TBAs, include the following Massachusetts fighters: Boston heavyweight Donnie Palmer (0-1-1), Lawrence light welterweight Carlos Canderlario (3-0, 1 KO), Stoneham welterweight Greg Vendetti (3-0-1, 2 KOs), Lynn light heavyweight Fadoul Louis (2-1-1, 1 KO) and Bridgewater heavyweight Julian Pollard (2-0, 2 KOs).  

Opponents in all of the scheduled fights, excluding the main event, will be announced after Massachusetts State Athletic Commission approvals.

All fighters are subject to change.

Tickets, reasonably priced at $40.00, $50.00 and $75.00, are available to purchase by calling 1.617.312.5059.

Doors open at 4:00 p.m. ET with the first bout scheduled for 5:00 p.m. ET.
