Dierry Jean vs. Cosme Rivera



 
Due to delays in obtaining a visa, Cosme Rivera, who was to face Dierry Jean in the finals for the NABF belt in the Welterweight division this Saturday, May 19 at the Holiday Inn Pointe-Claire, will no longer be on the card. The organization Eye of the Tiger Management has agreed with the American Lanardo Tyner (25-7-2, 15 KO) to replace him. Since the belt will still be at stake, it will remain a twelve round bout.
Event promoter Camille Estephan is confident that the caliber of the confrontation will not be affected by this change. Indeed, he describes the American pugilist as a tough opponent who delivers strong performances in his career: “We have seen Tyner fighting against Kevin Bizier last December in the finals at the Quebec Coliseum where he had offered a spectacular resistance. He then proved himself again in February when he led a struggle of twelve rounds against Jessie Vargas, current World Champion.” This new matchup is sure to keep local sensation Dierry Jean on his guard.








David Price vs. Sam Sexton



David Price v Sam Sexton: Aintree racecourse fight is a bout between two gentlemen says Frank Maloney





Frank Maloney has announced David Price and Sam Sexton will meet for the vacant British heavyweight championship at Liverpool's Aintree Racecourse on Saturday, May 19. 
Liverpool fan Price saw his favourite football team end a six-year wait for a trophy by lifting the Carling Cup last week and his target is to end years of hurt for the city's biggest hitters. 
For all Liverpool's fantastic fighting history, the city has never produced a British heavyweight champion - and Price can change all that. He will meet Sexton, from Norwich, for the belt vacated by Tyson Fury. 
Price, bronze medallist at the Beijing Olympics four years ago, has earned his chance by winning all 12 fights and in January, a sell-out crowd at Liverpool's Olympia saw him wipe out John McDermott in just 73 seconds to earn his chance to wear the Lonsdale belt. 
He will have the backing of his home crowd again - but that won't bother Sexton. Sexton twice silenced Martin Rogan's hostile Belfast supporters by busting up their local hero in Commonwealth-title fights with his ice-cool skills. 
Sexton, also a former 'Prizefighter' champion, has got this title chance by outpointing 'War Machine' Larry Olubamiwo.

Mikkel Kessler vs Allan Green








In news that should excite basically nobody, Mikkel Kessler will be moving up to light heavyweight with his next fight on May 19, facing American Allan Green in Denmark. Kessler was originally supposed to face WBO super middleweight titlist Robert Stieglitz in November, and then in April, but that fight was canceled after never really seeming like it was happening in the first place.



Mikkel Kessler and Allan Green will settle their differences

Mikkel "Viking Warrior" Kessler does battle with Allan "Ghost Dog" Green for the Vacant WBC Silver Light Heavyweight Championship.
Fighting in front of a home crowd in the Danish capital, Copenhagen, Kessler will be roared on by a partisan support at the Parken football stadium as he steps up to light heavyweight.
Kessler and Green had been due to meet two years ago, as the Dane pulled out with an eye injury; there's unfinished business to be taken care of.

Entering the ring with a 44 (33KO) - 2 record, 33-year-old Kessler will be the favourite to add to his impressive collection of belts.
The Dane is a three time World Champion at super middleweight, and will look to win a belt at a second weight category when he steps up to take on Green, May 19th.
Allan Green

Known for his power-punching, natural light heavyweight Allan Green will bring a 31 (21KO) - 3 record into the ring when he takes on Kessler.
Born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Green has previously held the WBO NABO super middleweight belt. In 2010, he lost against Andre Ward as he challenged for the WBA Super World Super Middleweight crown.
