ESPN3 will present live exclusive coverage in the U.S. of the Carl Frampton (14-0, 9 KOs) vs. Steve Molitor (34-2, 12 KOs) Super Bantamweight title fight from Belfast, Northern Ireland, on Saturday, Sept. 22, at 4 p.m. ET.

Canada’s Molitor, a former two-time Junior Featherweight world titleholder, said of Saturday’s fight, “He’s (Frampton) European level and I’m world level and come fight night everyone will realize that. This is too soon for Frampton. He has never been in the ring with someone on my level. He is a good boxer, very aggressive, but he makes a lot of mistakes that I plan on capitalizing on. The plan is to win convincingly here against a young undefeated prospect and that will put me in line for a world title.”

Belfast’s Frampton said, “He’s (Molitor) said a few things about me in the buildup and he obviously likes to talk a bit – that’s fine. All that matters to me is victory on Saturday night and doing it in the best possible way for the fans. He won’t have any friends in the arena on Saturday and his words won’t be able to help him then.”

ESPN3’s coverage of Saturday’s card from Belfast will also include the British and Commonwealth Featherweight title fight between Martin Lindsay (19-1, 7 KOs) and Lee Selby (13-1, 5 KOs), as well as an International Light Welterweight contest between Paul McCloskey (23-2, 12 KOs) and American Lightweight contender Manuel Perez (18-7, 4 KOs).

After winning a purse bid, South African promoter Branco Milenkovic will stage the third fight between IBF Jr. Featherweight champion Steve Molitor and Takelani Ndlovu in South Africa according to Dan Rafael of espn.com

Milenkovic won Tuesday’s purse bid to promote the fight with a winning offer of $320,000 to easily beat the offer of $227,500 made by Top Rank, Molitor’s promoter. Under IBF rules, the bout is due by April 18 and with Milenkovic now in control of the promotion, it is likely to happen in South Africa.

In late November, not long after Top Rank signed the Ontario-based Molitor, who is known as “The Canadian Kid,” it won the initial purse bid for the fight with an offer of $215,000. That easily beat Milenkovic, the only other bidder, who bid $154,240.

Top Rank had worked out a deal with Canadian promoter InterBox and Showtime to have Molitor-Ndlovu III televised on the undercard of Lucian Bute’s super middleweight title defense against Brian Magee at the Bell Centre in Montreal on March 19.

However, the date of the fight fell just outside the IBF’s rule saying that a fight has to take place within 90 days of the purse bid. The IBF will often be a bit flexible with the date for a television and venue considerations, but Milenkovic complained. So the IBF invalidated Top Rank’s winning bid and ordered a new auction, which took place Tuesday.

While Molitor (33-1, 12 KOs) would have liked to have the fight in Canada and in front of an American television audience, manager Cameron Dunkin said they were happy with the outcome because it will add $78,750 to Molitor’s purse.

With the split 75 percent in favor of the titleholder and 25 percent for the challenger, Molitor was due $161,250 under the old bid. Now he will make $240,000. Ndlovu (31-6, 18 KOs) is due $80,000.

“He’s getting $240,000, so it’s really good money for him,” Dunkin said. “When I called Steve, I said, ‘Look, we lost the purse bid.’ He said, ‘Oh, man.’ But then I said, ‘You got another ($78) grand,’ so he was really excited about that.

“He said, ‘I don’t care where I fight this guy. I’ll go down there and kick his ass.’ He said he just has to beat him again and then we have big plans for him after this fight.”

“Molitor is loving this,” Top Rank’s Carl Moretti said. “He gets more money to fight a guy he already beat twice, but I was shocked by the purse bid results because I didn’t think the South African marketplace would bear that kind of money for an Ndlovu fight against a guy who already beat him twice. He lost a unanimous decision and got stopped. So I didn’t think this would be something they would really push for down there.

“That’s why it’s shocking, especially to lose by that kind of money. He lost a unanimous decision and got stopped. I don’t see why the big push. That’s why it’s shocking, especially to lose by almost $100,000.”

Steve Molitor traveled to England and retained the IBF Jr. Featherweight title with a hard fought majority decision over Jason Booth in Houghton, England.

The bout was fought at close quarters with Molitor being just a bit more active and landing the better punchers against Booth, who was visibly the smaller man yet continued to come forward. Molitor had a big eighth round as he pounded Booth on the ropes but was unable to noticeably hurt the challenger.

The fight was close down the stretch with many of the rounds being close.

Molitor of Mississauga, Canada made the first defense of his second reign as champion. He has made five defenses of the belt in his tour as champion, won by scores of 116-112; 116-113 and 114-114 to raise his impressive mark to 33-1.

Booth of Nottingham, England is 35-6

JASON BOOTH is ready to anger big fight rival Steve Molitor, by taunting him about his brother who is in jail for MURDER.

The Canadian (32-1) star defends his IBF world super-bantamweight title against Booth (35-5) at Rainton Meadows Arena, Houghton-le-Spring tomorrow night (sat 11/9).

Nottingham’s Booth is a big underdog, but been tipped off that the champion hates being sledged in the ring.

Molitor’s brother Jeremy was sentenced to life in prison back in May 2005 after being convicted of second degree murder, although he can apply for parole in 2016.

He became embroiled in a car park row with a former girlfriend and stabbed her 58 times before she bled to death.

Molitor is so close to Jeremy that he is allowed to spend occasional weekends with Jeremy in Millhaven Penitentiary, Ontario.

Booth’s trainer Tony Harris said: “Molitor’s got issues. In fact, we’re going to talk to him.

“One of my former fighters, Ricardo Samms boxed for England against Canada in amateur competition.

“He was told by one of Molitor’s team-mates that if you start talking to him he loses his composure.

“What could Jason say to him? Is that your best shot, how is your brother? How is your bro.?”

Harris has been a father-figure to recovering alcoholic and one time drug use Booth since the fighter begged him for money in a strip club seven years ago.

Harris recalled: “We were celebrating one of my fighter’s wins in a t*ty bar, and he kept pestering me to lend him £20 quid.

“I told him I wanted to speak to him privately but drink had set in.

“From there I tried to rehabilitate him and it took me a year to 14 months to get his head right.

“I was on his case two or three in the morning, watching him. I lost my wife, took a lot of shit. I rented a house for him, paid the rent out my own money.

“We went through a bit but he always showed me respect, when he went wrong, he always apologised. He’s done me justice now and deserves this chance.”

JASON BOOTH reckons he knows what it is like to be whacked by Steve Molitor
even though he has never faced him.

Booth (35-5) faces the toughest test of his career when he challenges for
Molitor¹s (32-1) IBF world super-bantamweight title at Houghton-le-Spring¹s
Rainton Meadows Arena on Saturday September 11.

The Nottingham boxer got a close up of the slick Canadian, when Molitor
outpointed his younger brother, Nicky in a Commonwealth bantamweight title
fight almost eight years go.

Jason, 32, said: ³It was tough to see my brother lose to Molitor. I used to
get so wrapped up in Nicky’s fights it was like I was in there taking
punches.

³Back then Molitor was unbeaten, but unknown despite his amateur pedigree
and most people reckoned Nicky would win.

³Although Nicky did well, Molitor¹s qualities were obvious and it is no
shock to me what he has achieved since then. He is a credit to boxing.

³I have done some daft things in life, but I am no fool when it comes to
spotting top boxers and Molitor is better than anybody I have faced.²

RAMA, ON (Thursday, March 25, 2010) – With time ticking away prior to Rumble at Rama XI, topped by the rematch between Steve Molitor (30-1, 12 KO’s) and Takalani Ndlovu (30-5, 18 KO’s, IBF #1) for the vacant IBF Junior Featherweight championship, the six main combatants involved went face-to-face Thursday in Toronto for the final press conference.
In the main event, Molitor will try to become a two-time world champion, and regain the title he lost to Celestino Caballero in November of 2008 via 4th round TKO.
To do that, he’ll have to turn back time nearly three years, and repeat his sensational performance against Ndlovu in July of 2007.
In what was Molitor’s first of five successful title defenses, “The Canadian Kid” battered the South African from pillar-to-post in the very same Casino Rama ring that they’ll step into Saturday night, en route to a one-sided ninth round TKO beating.
“On Saturday, I’m going to take my title back. It’s been a hard year and a half, but that made getting ready for this fight so motivating for me,” Molitor said.
“I’m healthier and stronger coming into this fight than I’ve ever been, and Chris (Johnson, Molitor’s trainer) and I had such a great camp. There’s no way I’m losing, especially to a guy I’ve already pummeled.”
Ndlovu, understandably, never even referred to his first encounter with Steve Molitor.
“This is a vacant title fight, we are both challengers,” Ndlovu said.  “I’m the IBF # 1 fighter, and he’s number 2., it’s that simple.”Â
“It’s an honour to be back, I’m ready.”


But while Ndlovu wanted to focus solely on Saturday night, Chris Johnson, Molitor’s trainer was eager to remind him of his first trip to Canada.
The fight is available on www.gofightlive.tv by clicking:

“You came here before and you got whupped,” Johnson told Ndlovu from the podium. Â ”And you travelled here again to get whupped again. Â But the only thing this time that’s going to be different is how long it takes you to get off that canvas.”
Â
In the evening’s co-feature, Canadian Heavyweight champion, Greg “The Steel Pole” Kielsa (11-0, 5 KO’s), of Brampton, Ontario, defends against Toronto’s Neven Pajkic (11-0, 5 KO’s), over 10 rounds in a historic meeting of undefeated foes battling for the Canadian Heavyweight title.
“I want to thank Casino Rama, Orion Sports, and my manager James Jardine,” a typically low-keyed Kielsa told the assembled media.
“And good luck to Neven.”
Like Kielsa, Pajkic seemed equally unaffected by being part of a truly historic fight.
“I do my talking in the ring, with these,” Pajkic said, holding up his fists.”Â
And in a special added 10 round attraction, burgeoning female superstar, and WBO/IBA Super Bantamweight champion, Ana “The Hurricane” Julaton (6-1-1, 1 KO), of the Philippines, via San Francisco, California, faces Toronto’s Lisa “Bad News” Brown (16-4-3, 5 KO’s), a four-time world champion, for the vacant WBA Super Bantamweight world title.
“I’ve only been her for one day, but already Canada feels like home,” said Julaton, who flew into Toronto on Wednesday, and has been continuously in the public eye since landing, with welcoming dinners, media workouts, and press conferences.
“I’m anxious to get in the ring with Lisa, and have us thrilling the fans with how great women’s boxing can be.”
For her part, Brown is just as ready to step in the ring, and make a spotlight for herself to shine in.
“I’m ready. I’m in shape. I’m a warrior ready to destroy Ana,” Brown said.
“When there’s a hurricane, there’s always bad news.”
Orion Sports Management President, Allan Tremblay, thinks this card could be the best ever offered in Canada.
“Simply put, this is the best card ever put of in Ontario” Tremblay said proudly.Â
“Two world title fights, and a history-making Canadian heavyweight title fight.”
“It’s never been better than this in Ontario.”
Rumble at Rama XI will be promoted by Orion Sports Management, in association with Casino Rama.
Tickets for Rumble at Rama XI are $125, $75, $50 and $25 and are available in-person at the Casino Rama Box Office, and at all TicketMaster locations, by calling (416) 870-8000 and online at www.casinorama.com. Â Ticket prices do not include applicable taxes or service charges.

NOTE—THIS IS NOT A LIVE EVENT

NEDAL PROMOTIONS—FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS

In one co-feature, Sheika of nearby Paterson, New Jersey will battle Philly slugger, Garrett Wilson.

Sheika has a record of 28-9 with nineteen knockouts and is looking for one more big run as he is now campaigning in the Light Heavyweight division.

The thirty-three year old Sheika won his first fourteen bouts as he became a fan favorite by appearing on many nationally televised shows. After suffering his first loss, Sheika racked up six impressive wins in a row that included victories over two world champions in Simon Brown and Glen Johnson. Those wins catapulted Sheika into his first world title bout where he was stopped in five by the legendary Joe Calzaghe.

After the Calzaghe fight, Sheika went 3-1 and earned a shot at WBC champion Eric Lucas. Sheika dropped the unanimous decision and then went on two lose his two successive bouts.

Sheika went on a three fight winning streak to set up a shot at IBF champion Jeff Lacy. Sheika fought very well before dropping the unanimous decision (Sheika lost by just two points on two cards). That fight earned a trip to Germany and a fight with WBC Markus Beyer.

One again, Sheika came up just short and dropped a very close unanimous decision.

Since that fight, Sheika has gone 2-1 with the lone defeating being a stoppage loss to the great Roy Jones Jr. In his last bout, Sheika stopped Theo Kruger in eight rounds on Septermber 23rd in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Wilson has a record of 7-3 with two wins coming back knockout.

Wilson has been in tough and is known for always giving his all and all three of his losses have come to opponents have had a record of 24-1 at the times of the bouts.

Wilson has never been stopped and that includes his last bout when he dropped a six round unanimous decision to former Puerto Rican Olympian, Carlos Negron on January 23rd in Madison Square Garden.

In the second co-feature, former star of The Contender Season 1, Ahmed “Baby Face” Kaddour will battle underappreciated Jerome Ellis in a Jr. Middleweight bout scheduled for eight founds..

Kaddour is of Lebanese decent and spent time in Demark, Houston and has been training in New Jersey for this fight and he will bring in a record of 21-2 with nine knockouts.

Kaddour very quietly built up a record of 18-0 with nine knockouts before being picked for the Inaugural season of The Contender.

On the show, Kaddour showed an outgoing personality and quickly gained fans worldwide.

Unfortunately, Kaddour dropped his only fight on the show when he lost a unanimous decision to Ishe Smith (13-0). Kaddour came back on the show and dropped a five round unanimous decision to future Welterweight title challenger Alfonso Gomez (11-2-1).

Since the show, Kaddour’s career has been littered with inactivity as he has only fought four times in almost six years.

Kaddour won a eight round unanimous decision over Maxell Taylor (12-1) as part of the popular SHO Box series.

After a fourteen month layoff, Kaddour fought to a disputed draw with Jesus Valverde and just two months later he took an eight round split decision in the rematch.

Then after almost a three year break, Kaddour came back scored six round unanimous decision to Mike Ermis (6-7-2) last September 12th in Denmark.

Kadoour will be taking on the tough Jerome Ellis.

Ellis has a record of 12-10-2 with ten knockouts and like Medina, he has fought some very tough competition.

Ellis won his first five fights (including a split decision over Ed Peredes, who is now 24-3). Ellis then dropped two in a row which included a unanimous decision to then 14-2 Said Ouali.

After a 2-0-1 stretch, the native of Coconut Creek, FL lost to then hot prospect Anthiny Thompson (17-1) by unanimous decision. Ellis then scored an eighth round stoppage over Kevin Cagle (16-1) before dropping a six round unanimous decision to Irving Garcia (10-2).

Ellis scored three straight wins including upset stoppages over Felix Cepeda (7-0) and Neil Sinclair (28-4).

Ellis stepped up the competition as he has gone 1-6-1 in his last eight with some of those losses being to Future Middleweight title challenger Billy Lyell, Future Welterweight title challenger Miguel Angel Rodriguez (28-2); then undefeated prospect Henry Crawford (18-0-1); Hot welterweight prospect Antowne Smith (12-0-1). Ellis has a draw with welterweight contender Richard Gutierrez (24-2.) in Ellis last outing, he was stopped by hot prospect Shawn Porter (10-0) in four rounds on November 21st in Tunica, Mississippi

In the third eight round co-feature, Terrance “The Heat” Cauthen of nearby Trenton, New Jersey will battle Isam Khalil of Sweden.

Cauthen is a former U.S Olympian who has had a solid career fighting some of the better welterweights in the world and sports a record of 33-6 with nine knockouts.

Cauthen, a fourteen year pro started his career by winning fourteen consecutive bouts before being stopped by Teddy Reid on August 6th, 1999.

That did not deter Cauthen as he then went on to reel off eleven more victories to push his record to an impressive 25-1.

Cauthn then stepped it up and dropped two in a row including losing a decision to pound for pound resident Paul Williams.

Cauthen then went 6-0-1 including win over former U.S. Olympian Dante Craig.

He has gone 1-3 in his last four bouts as he has been in with Sechew Powell (21-1); Cauthen then defeated undefeated Alexis Camacho (16-0); but losses to Shamone Alvarez (19-1) and his most recent fight, which he was stopped by undefeated Canadian Antonin DeCarie (21-0) last October 3rd in Montreal.

This will be a huge step up for Khalil, who has an impressive record of 15-1-2 with nine knockouts.

He was undefeated in his first fifteen fights (13-0-2) until he was stopped in four rounds by rugged Doel Carrasquillo.

Since then, Khalil has won two in a row including a four round unanimous decision over Serjejs Savrinovics on March 27th, 2008 in Sweden.

This will be Khalil’s fourth fight in America after fighting in Sweden, England, Hungary, Germany, Finland and Spain.

There will be five other big bouts on this LIVE telecast which will feature undefeated Light Heavyweight Billy Salser in a four round bout
