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.

Star of David Promotions inks amateur standout pro prospect Alexey Zubov

Brooklyn, NY (December 1, 2014)--Dmitriy Salita is pleased and excited to announce a new addition to the Star of David Promotions roster.

 
Cruiserweight prospect Alexey Zubov, a Russian-born boxer with a tremendous amateur predigree, and 6-0 (4 KOs) mark as a professional, has been signed to Star of David, the promoter announced today.

 
The 28-year-old right-hander Zubov is 6-2 1/2, owns power in both hands, and will be moving to NYC to make his stand in the professional ranks. He debuted in April with a KO1 win, and Salita sees a bunch more of those type of victories coming in the near future.

 
"Alexey is one of the best prospects in boxing," Salita said. "He has the skills, size and work ethic to be a cruiserweight and heavyweight champion. The invaluable experience he gained as an elite amateur will help him progress quickly in the pros. I am confident that Alexey's aggressive style will make him very popular amongst boxing fans and in New York's Russian community."

 
Good news for fight fans, then; Zubov will fight on a Salita pro boxing card Jan. 22, at Webster Hall, in Manhattan. 


 
Zubov's manager, Leo Khorolinsky, who also handles lightweight ace Denis Shafikov, shared some insights and thoughts about the Russian prospect. "Zubov was a very good amateur, a national champion, and he's done well his first few fights. I think he is very talented, and he's been sparring with some of the best people out there. He should be able to do very well at cruiserweight, and then possibly move up to heavyweight. He just needs to adjust more to the pro style, be more selective with his punches. And true success is just a matter of time! I believe in him, and he's an interesting prospect to watch. He has everything it takes to be a future star."

Q& A with undefeated Cruiserweight Junior Wright






Brooklyn, NY (November 7, 2014) --Undefeated Cruiserweight Junior Wright
(12-0-1, 10 KO's) has been making waves and is climbing up the ladder to become one of the top contenders in the 200 lb. division. After defeating several undefeated contenders including undefeated Nick Kisner 12-0.

Junior Wright burst on to the scene with his Fight of the Year candidate with another top rated undefeated contender Steve Bujaj which took place on May 15, 2014 at the Millennium Theater in Brooklyn. 
Wright, who is promoted by Star of David Promotions and regarded by many to be the top cruiserweight prospect in the world is looking to become a top-10 contender in the early part of 2015.


You just had a 3rd round stoppage over Lucas St. Claire in a "Stay Busy" fight on November 1 in Milwaukee. Talk about the fight?
St Clair was a big puncher. He has MMA and boxing experience. I train hard and prepare well for all fighters. I got a chance to work on some things we have been practicing in the gym. I hit him with straight shots, dropped him 4 times and got the 3rd round knockout. 
Will you fight again this year?
We will try to get 1 more fight in this year before coming back to NYC on Jan 22.
Talk about coming back to NYC?
I am very excited to come back to NYC. It is where my biggest fight against Bujaj took place. Following that fight I had a lot of support from local media and boxing fans. NYC is a boxing center and I look forward to putting on a great show and making more fans. But I am really looking to get one of the belts. I am just trying to perfect my craft and fight the best in the Unite States and Europe. I want to win belts and defend them.
Steve Bujaj is on the the card on January 22nd. Will you keep an eye on his fight?
Not really, i will let the coaches do all that. I just take care of my business.
What are your plans for 2015?
My biggest goal is to fight on Showtime on HBO. I feel like I am close to getting there.
What Cruiserweights are you pin pointing?
European champion Rakhim Chakhkiev (2008 Gold Medal winner)---he is an awkward lefty..., Dennis Lebedev, (Former WBC Champion) Krzysztof Wlodarczyk ..He is Polish and would draw a big crowd in my hometown of Chicago, So i think that would be good business...We also would like to the winner of the Nathan Cleverly - Tony Bellew fight.
You are signed with Dmitry Salita's Star of David Promotions. How has that relatonship been?
Dmitry is the best! I like the way he operates. He doesn't believe in wasting time. He has kept me busy. Because of him, we have connections in the UK, Russia & South Africa. He understand a fighter and the importance of staying busy and getting better in the ring. I had 2 fights since August away from the bright lights perfecting my skills. I train hard and am getting better every day. I can't wait to get my opportunity!
Coach Rick Wilson..
Junior is an all action, worth the money to see fighter. Thats why we nicknamed him the Hurracaine. Whenever u see a newscaster at the front of a Hurricaine, u want to see that.. Junior can knock u out with either hand. We would be ready for Bellew or Cleverly. We want a few more learning fights under our belt and we know Dmitry can get us those fights with his world class connections...South Africa, Russia and the UK

Junior beat several undefeated fighters and we took chances early in his career because I know my fighter! We fought 1 world class fighter in his back yard...Jrunior Broke his nose and jaw and with shotty refereeing we still got a draw. We would have to had to shoot him to get a decision. Junior has fought nothing but formidable guys. 4 or 5 more fights we will be fighting at the highest level.With Dmitrys connections we hope to fight 1 of the upper echelon champion's. We will try to get another fight in before the end of the year and are ready to blast on to the scene big time!
Junior, do you have any final statements?
-Be prepared for the hurricane

Brooklyn, NY (September 19, 2014) Star of David Promotions is exceedingly pleased and excited to announce that Mid-Atlantic area fight fans will now be able to check out one of the contenders for 2014 Fight of the Year, the cruiserweight tussle between Junior Wright and Steve Bujaj. This bout thrilled boxing fanatics who saw the two men engage in the heated scrap in Brooklyn.

 
MSG Network will show that entire Wright-Bujaj scrap, and a ton more action from the early summer show put together by Dmitriy Salita, the fighter/promoter who is happy to be able to showcase his fights on the home of the NBA Knicks and the NHL Rangers.

 
Viewers can tune in on September 19th at 10pm and the show will also
run September 20th at 7pm.
 
"Junior Wright versus Steve Bujaj was the best live fight I have ever
seen," Salita said of a contest for which the WBC International
cruiserweight title was on the line. "It is rare that a fight lives up
to it's hype but in this case, it exceeded all expectations and then
some. MSG has a long and rich tradition of great fights staged in the
center of the world for boxing, New York City. I am grateful that MSG
will televise this show and New York City boxing fans will get a chance
to see what "Brooklyn Brawl" is all about.

president, programming, MSG Networks. "We are proud of the classic
fights we telecast on MSG, and this candidate for 'fight of the year'
is a must-watch for boxing fans."

Martinez, a two-fisted closer who has trouble getting fights because
boxers fear his power; Dimash Niyazov, a slick stylist; and future
heavyweight superstar Jarrell Miller, who combines power and charisma
in a way which has some insiders tabbing him as a future heavyweight
champion. All are NYC residents climbing their way up the pro ranks to
a world title. Also, pay special attention to unbeaten Russian amateur
standout Alexey Zubov, now living in California, and fighting as a
cruiserweight.
 
"I fought on MSG myself, winning the Golden Gloves, and as a pro, the
fan recognition that it brings is incredible," Salita said. "I am
grateful that MSG will bring much needed exposure to these talented,
hungry New York-based fighters."

WBO lightweight Champion Amanda Serrano headlines Brooklyn Brawl



Brooklyn, NY  (September 3, 2014) -- Amanda Serrano will enter the ring at the Master Theater (Formerly the Millennium Theater) in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn on September. 18 with a brand new belt strapped around her waist, and the usual stone game-face signaling her intentions.
 

Serrano (21-1-1, with 16 KOs) is one of the headliners September 18, on a Star of David Promotions card put together by promoter Dmitriy Salita. 

 
The 25-year-old southpaw recently traveled to Argentina and scored a 6th round stoppage win over Maria Elena Maderna, earning the WBO lightweight title. On Sept. 18, the Puerto Rican native will be sticking close to home, fighting in her borough. 

 
The foe on this night will be, as is per usual on a Salita card, no easy triumph. Serrano, one half of the "Fighting Serrano Sisters", seven years junior to big sister Cindy Serrano, is to meet Jackie Trivilino, who'll show up with ample confidence. 

 
"Amanda is an excellent athlete and so is Jackie," Salita said. "Women's boxing as a sport has come a long way in the last 10 years. Female boxers today are world class athletes, very skilled, in tremendous shape and determined to prove themselves in the sport."

 
Trivilino battled fan-favorite Heather Hardy at Barclays Center in her last outing, on June 14, and the Plattsburgh, NY native lost a technical decision by the most narrow of margins. A crowd-pleasing featherweight rumble is virtually guaranteed.

 
September 18 will also see the debut under the Star of David promotional banner of Junior Wright, a Chicagoan who is a known quality to hardcore NY-area boxing fans.

 
The cruiserweight boxed Steve Bujaj to a draw on the May 15 Salita show at the Master Theater, and that was a five star showdown. Kamarah Parsley is coming from Philadelphia with upsetting intentions; he wants to show the 11-0-1 Wright that Philly trumps Chicago when the going gets tough. 

 
Dimash Niyazov, a junior welterweight from Kazakhstan now living on Staten Island, will seek to go to 7-0-2, but he'll have to get past Rochester, NY lefty Jamell Tyson, a survivor type who wants to play the spoiler. 

 
Salita is also excited to see prospect Gary Beriguette (living in Brooklyn NY, 5-0) in his toughest fight to date, against Raphael Luna. Also, amateur standout Peter Dobson of the Bronx is making his long awaited pro debut against the experienced Mack Babb of Brooklyn, NY.

 
Log on to salitapromotions.com to score tickets to see this mix of champions and up & comers do their thing in the ring on Thursday, Sept. 18.

Steven Martinez to take on undefeated Chris Pearson on August 30 on ShoBOX

Brooklyn, NY  (August 15, 2014) -Power hitter Steve Martinez is on a mission to climb the junior middleweight ladder and his promoter Dmitriy Salita of Star of David Promotions has announced the opponent who is the next rung on the boxers' upward climb.
 

Martinez (15-0, 12 KO's)  is a resident of the Bronx, will take on Chris Pearson August 30, on "ShoBox."
 

Martinez is a  24-year-old right-hander, who possesses ample power in both hands, and a closer mentality.'
 

The fight is slated for the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, and will screen on Showtime, on their series which spotlights only the best and brightest up and comers in the game.
 

"Steve Martinez is a product of the Brooklyn Braw series and as a result of consecutive victories, in February and then again in May, on Star of David cards, he's moving up the ranks," Salita said.
 

Pearson, a 23-year-old left-hander from Ohio, sports an 11-0 (9 KOs) mark.
 

Salita is impressed at the condition Martinez is in and expects him to hand Pearson the first blemish on his ledger. The promoter says Martinez stayed in stellar shape after a July 25 bout against John Thompson was scrapped because Thompson was in a car accident. "Steve is jumping on this opportunity to prove he is the best junior middleweight prospect in boxing," the promoter said, in closing.
 

Don't despair if you're not heading to Vegas to see Martinez in action; you can get your fill of top-notch professional boxing on Sept. 18, when the next "Brooklyn Brawl" card unfolds in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn.
 

Please visit SalitaPromotions.com to learn more about that card, which will be held at the Master Theater

AMERICAN CRUISERWEIGHT CONTENDER JUNIOR "HURRICANE" WRIGHT signs with Star of David Promotions


  

BROOKLYN (July 8, 2014)-- Star of David Promotions boss Dmitriy Salita is pleased and excited to announce that Junior Wright, a cruiserweight contender from Chicago,has signed a promotional deal.
 
The 27-year-old Wright, a three-time (2006, 2008, 2009) Chicago Golden Gloves champion, came to the attention of Salita when he expertly fought Steve Bujaj on Salita's May 15 card in Brooklyn. That bout, a ten round draw while the vacant WBC International cruiserweight title was up for grabs, drew buzz for being a Fight of the Year candidate.

"Junior Wright is one of the best cruiserweights in the world," Salita said. "He is the kind of fighter the sport needs. From the early stages of his career he has shown the desire to fight and beat the best available fighters. His last fight was one of the best live fights I have ever seen."

Wright grew up in a Chicago neighborhood where involvement in gangs could have taken him to a dark place. Instead, he found boxing, and is looking forward to the push that  promoter Salita will give him.

"I am very proud to be American, for the opportunities that came my way as a result of my hard work and dedication," Wright said after signing the deal with Salita. "The great city of Chicago was home to our President, Barack Obama, and I am very inspired by that and want to bring the cruiserweight title to America."

Currently, the cruiserweight titles are wrapped around the waists of a Pole, a Russian, a Serb, and a Cuban-born boxer. Wright, who won the USA Midwest Regional Championship in 2010, promises to bring some cruiserweight buzz back to the US.

"Junior wants to fight all the champions, like WBA champ Denis Lebedev, WBO champ Marco Huck and WBC champ Krzysztof Wlodarczyk," Salita said. "The plan is to get him a title shot, and let him work his magic."

Trained by Rick Wilson and managed by Steve Clemente, the fighter nicknamed "Hurricane" owns a 10-0-1 record, with 9 KO's. A rematch with Bujaj, probably will be on  premium network in order to give this duo the viewing audience they deserve, could well be in the cards, Salita said.  Wright's volume punching, rock-solid grasp of basics, above-average stamina, and fighting spirit won him a theater-full of new fans on the most recent Salita show, and that includes rooters for the New Yorker
Bujaj, all of whom applauded the Illinois boxer after the bell rang to end the fierce tussle.

Wright now has a reputation for besmirching the records of heralded fighters. Bujaj came to the ring with a 12-0 mark and Wright saddled him with a split draw. Back on August 16, 2013, Wright defeated 12-0-1 Nick Kisner, in Chicago. Salita expects that trend to continue from his newest acquisition..

Please check the Star of David website Salitapromotions.com for information on the next fight for Wright, and the other hitters on the growing roster, including heavyweight Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller, middleweight Steven Martinez and junior welterweight Dimash Niyazov.

SUPERSTAR IN THE MAKING JARRELL 'BIG BABY' MILLER FIGHTING FOR THE NEPHCURE FOUNDATION




BROOKLYN (June 18, 2014)-- Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller is a certified two sport threat.  A world-class kick boxer who will headline a SPIKE TV main event this weekend, as well as a blue-chip heavyweight prospect who wants to restore excitement to the region in the same manner as fellow Brooklyn natives Riddick Bowe and Mike Tyson. 

Along the way, however, the 25-year-old Miller, who is backed by Dmitriy Salita's Star of David Promotions, knows the importance of giving back, and keeping proper perspective. That's why he has signed on to be a spokesman for The NephCure Foundation, a non-profit organization which seeks to work on helping develop treatments and potential cures for kidney disease, specifically targeting Nephrotic Syndrome and focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a cause of Nephrotic syndrome.
The 6-4, 255-pound Miller took time out for kickboxing training for his Glory 17 feature bout against legend Mirk Cro Cop, on Saturday, June 21(9 PM ET, SPIKE TV; from Los Angeles) to speak up about why he's aligned with NephCure. 
"As a professional athlete I feel blessed to fight on television, and I feel responsible to bring awareness to such important issues as kidney disease, as well as to make people aware and to find a cure," Miller said. "I feel this is my responsibility, and more so since Nephrotic Syndrome is five times more likely to strike African-Americans."
As a boxing pro, Miller's primary aim is to build his 9-0-1 (9 KOs) record to the point where he can secure a title shot, and win a world title, which will help restore the reputation of the division which has long lacked American star power. Promoter Salita believes "Big Baby" has all the traits needed to step up to the biggest stages. "I see in him the hand speed, the power, the mobility, the ring smarts...all the traits needed to bring the heavyweight championship to Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller," Salita said. "He is taking it step by step, and Star of David is proud to be associated with this young superstar to be."
Miller wants to take care of some unfinished kickboxing business on Saturday, when he brings his 22-1 mark in with the Croatian sensation Cro Cop, who boasts a 22-8 record. They clashed last March, with the Croatian taking a disputed decision. Miller vows to obtain revenge. 
Miller has been impressed with the focus and determination of the people affiliated with The NephCure Foundation, the Philly-based non-profit which is the only organization solely committed to seeking a cause and cure for Nephrotic Syndrome and FSGS. He's asking his rooters to learn more about NephCure, which is comprised of patients, their families and friends, researchers, physicians and other healthcare professionals, and their aim to help science unlock the biological mechanisms that cause these serious conditions and ultimately find a way to cure and prevent them.

Salita's Star of David Promotions has crafted a top-notch slate, topped by cruiserweight contender Steve Bujaj. The 12-0 Albanian native snapped up the NY State cruiser crown at the Millennium in February, and Salita promises he will be matched tough on May 15 as he continues his push to a world title. Bujaj will bring a rooting section down from Yonkers, where he resides. "Bujaj is an excellent fighter, who is looking to climb up the contender ladder," Salita said. "He is looking to place himself into title contention this year."
Jarrell Miller, a promising heavyweight just signed to Star of David, will also see action.

"He is taking on a tough contender, a fellow prospect, and is very focused on making a statement in this fight."
Middleweight prospect Steve Martinez wowed the Millennium crowd with his power-punching style at the Theater in February, and Salita is bringing the 14-1 Bronx boxer back for an encore on May 15. Opponent Taronze Washington will be flown in from Texas, having won two of his last three fights, with a desire to silence Martinez' fans traveling down from the Bronx. "Steve Martinez is back in the ring again and is looking to put on another exciting performance," Salita said. "Steve is looking to fight top contenders in the division."
Boxing fans will be entertained by the talented hitter Amanda Serrano, a Puerto Rican-born Brooklyn resident who boasts a 20-1 record. The former WBC super featherweight champion craves another world title shot, ASAP, and needs a win in Brighton Beach to maintain momentum. 
Also gloving up May 15 at the Millennium: Dimash Niyazov, a 5-0-2 pugilist from Staten Island; fellow New Yorker Peter Reyes, a 4-0 slugger who seeks the show-stopper KO in every bout; Marco Suarez, a 2-0 prospect from the Bronx; and 3-1 Akil Auguste from Brooklyn.
