Press Release: September 15, 2026 By Mario Serrano For CombatVision TV  -  KANSAS CITY, KS (September 14, 2026) — BiYu Promotions is proud to announce the “HEART OF AMERICA PRO + AM BOXING INVITATIONAL,” a two-day boxing event set for October 9 and 10, 2026, at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kansas, with all the action broadcast live worldwide on CombatVisionTV.

Headlining the event will be middleweight Nico Ali Walsh (12-2-1, 5 KOs), grandson of the legendary Muhammad Ali, who will square off against undefeated Treavon Craycraft (9-0-1) in an eight-round middleweight main event. Craycraft has yet to taste defeat as a professional, giving Ali Walsh an opportunity to make a statement against an unbeaten opponent when they meet on Saturday, October 10, at Memorial Hall. 

Ali Walsh has spent his professional career carving out his own identity while carrying one of the most recognizable names in sports. His appearance in Kansas City will give Midwest boxing fans an opportunity to see him compete live while viewers around the world can follow the action on CombatVisionTV.

“For the past 10 months, my biggest fight hasn’t been inside the ring, it’s been in Washington, D.C., working with lawmakers,” said Ali Walsh. “I’m proud to say we’ve made meaningful progress and helped bring about some important changes for fighters. I’m so happy to be back under the lights and doing what I love…BOXING. On October 10 I’m going to give the fans of Kansas City a great show and continue building my own legacy while I proudly represent what my grandfather built in this sport.”

The professional undercard will feature several undefeated prospects and rising contenders, including two fighters competing under the BiYu Promotions banner.

Undefeated welterweight Pryce Sparrow (7-0, 4 KOs) will take a significant step up in competition when he faces veteran Rashield Williams (14-3, 11 KOs) with the vacant NABA USA Welterweight title at stake.

Sparrow enters the bout following a dominant eight-round unanimous decision over veteran Oliver Flores on September 11 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The 19-year-old prospect will now have an opportunity to add his first professional title while continuing his rapid progression through the welterweight ranks.

BiYu Promotions’ Cuban super flyweight Yusniel Abrahante (8-2, 1 KO) will also return to action, with his opponent to be announced. Abrahante enters the event with momentum after scoring an impressive unanimous decision victory over previously undefeated Luis Coria in July, handing the hard-hitting prospect his first professional defeat.

“This is a special event for BiYu Promotions and for boxing in the Midwest,” said Bobby Harrison, President of BiYu Promotions. “Having Nico Ali Walsh headline at Memorial Hall brings a lot of excitement to Kansas City. Everyone knows the history behind the Ali name, but Nico is a young man who is working hard to establish himself and create his own legacy in boxing. We’re excited to have him as the main event and give fans the opportunity to see him perform.”

Harrison is equally excited about the opportunity awaiting Sparrow and Abrahante.

“Pryce and Yusniel are two fighters we believe strongly in,” Harrison continued. “Pryce is coming off a great performance in the Dominican Republic, and now he’s stepping into a title fight against an experienced opponent. That’s the type of progression we want for him. Yusniel is also coming off a tremendous win against an undefeated fighter, and we want to keep that momentum going. These are the opportunities that help young fighters develop into contenders.”

The professional portion of the card is also scheduled to feature Fernando Angel Molina (12-1-1, 4 KOs), undefeated featherweight Izak Carlos (8-0, 6 KOs) against veteran Deivi Julio (29-18, 18 KOs), Jamar Pemberton (10-1, 6 KOs) against Edwin Gamboa (13-13-2, 6 KOs) in middleweight action, undefeated super lightweight Jorge Carlos (13-0, 11 KOs), against Carlos Manuel Portillo (23-10, 17 KOs), undefeated middleweight Ryan Maine (9-0, 6 KOs) against David Lobo Ramirez (20-7, 15 KOs), undefeated lightweight Eric Valencia (7-0, 6 KOs), against Martin Diaz (18-24-2, 8 KOs), and super middleweight Shomari Wilson (1-0), whose opponent is to be announced.

The HEART OF AMERICA PRO + AM BOXING INVITATIONAL will bring professional and amateur boxing together over two days at Memorial Hall, creating a platform for established names, rising prospects and developing amateur talent.

For Harrison, the event represents another step in BiYu Promotions’ commitment to creating opportunities for fighters while bringing competitive boxing to markets across the country.

“We want this to become an event that fighters and fans look forward to,” Harrison said. “The amateur side represents the future of the sport, while the professional card gives fans a chance to see fighters who are already making their move. Bringing those two worlds together in Kansas City and broadcasting the action worldwide on CombatVisionTV is what the Heart of America Invitational is all about.”

Press Release: September 14, 2026 By Mario Serrano For CombatVision TV  - SANTO DOMINGO, DR.

Broadcast worldwide on CombatVisionTV, the event provided an international stage for several of the Dominican Republic’s rising fighters, along with promising young talent from the United States.

Houston’s Cassell made quick work of previously unbeaten Cristofer Peralta, stopping him at 1:19 of the second round of their scheduled six-round super lightweight bout. The 19-year-old Cassell improved to 6-0 with 4 KOs with the victory.

Rodriguez also kept his undefeated record intact, earning a convincing six-round unanimous decision over Nayer Gonzalez Jimenez in their featherweight matchup. Rodriguez won by scores of 59-54, 59-54 and 60-53, improving to 6-0 with 3 KOs.

Cruiserweight Guzman suffered the first defeat of his professional career, dropping a competitive six-round unanimous decision to Jankelly Rodriguez Paulino. All three judges scored the fight 58-56. Guzman, who had knocked out each of his previous five opponents, is now 5-1 with 5 KOs.

“We’re building something special at BiYu Promotions, and the goal is to develop these fighters the right way,” Harrison continued. “We want to keep them active, give them competitive fights and put them in situations where they have to keep improving.

BiYu Promotions’ Garcia Drops Chaves Four Times in Masterful Boxing Performance

Credit:Zachariah Delgado / Matchroom Boxing 

 Press Release: September 7, 2026 By Mario Serrano - NEWARK, NJ (September 5, 2026)

 — Written off by the oddsmakers but never short on belief, 

BiYu Promotions 

lightweight contender

 Eridson Garcia 

(24-2, 14 KOs) delivered the biggest victory of his professional career last night, upsetting previously unbeaten knockout artist 

Alan Chaves 

(22-1, 19 KOs) in a dominant 10-round performance to capture the 

IBF International 

and 

WBO Latino Lightweight 

titles at the 

Prudential Center 

in 

Newark, New Jersey

.

The event was promoted by 

Matchroom Boxing

, broadcast live on 

DAZN 

in the

 United Kingdom 

and 

TNT 

in the United States.

Entering the bout as a 

7-1 underdog

, Garcia refused to fight like one. The Dominican Republic native put on a boxing masterclass, using a brilliant jab, lateral movement, distance and accurate combinations to neutralize the dangerous Chaves. Garcia dropped the Argentine once in the second round, twice in the fifth and again in the ninth on his way to a commanding unanimous decision. The judges scored the bout 

99-87, 99-88 

and

 98-88

, all in favor of Garcia.

From the opening bell, it was apparent Garcia was in rhythm and operating at his best. Armed with an 11-inch reach advantage, Garcia controlled the fight from the outside, repeatedly beating Chaves to the punch and using his feet to prevent the heavy-handed Argentine from establishing a consistent attack.

Despite entering with 19 knockouts in 22 victories, Chaves had few answers for Garcia’s speed, accuracy and disciplined boxing.

For Garcia, the victory was the culmination of preparation, belief and an opportunity he was determined not to waste.

“I’m extremely grateful for this victory and for everyone who gave me the opportunity to be in this position,” said Garcia. “I knew people were looking at the odds and saying I was the underdog, but I never looked at myself that way. I respected Chaves because he was undefeated and had tremendous punching power, but I believed in my skills and in the work we put in. From the first round, I felt comfortable. My jab was working, my movement was there, and I was seeing everything clearly. I stayed disciplined and followed the game plan. To drop a fighter like Chaves four times and leave with these two titles is a blessing. I give God all the glory.”

Garcia credited much of his success to an outstanding training camp in the Dominican Republic alongside 

Coach Rene Vazquez

. The preparation centered on using Garcia’s physical advantages while maintaining the discipline necessary to avoid giving Chaves opportunities to unleash his power.

“Coach Rene Vazquez and I had a great training camp in the Dominican Republic, and everything we worked on showed up in the fight,” Garcia said. “We knew Chaves was dangerous, so we couldn’t make mistakes or stand in front of him unnecessarily. Coach kept telling me to trust my jab, use my reach, move after my combinations and stay focused for every second of every round. We trained very hard, but we also trained smart. When I got into the ring, I felt prepared for anything he tried to do. I’m thankful to Coach Rene and my entire team because this victory belongs to all of us.”

Garcia’s execution was evident throughout the contest. Rather than becoming reckless after scoring knockdowns, he remained composed and continued using the tools that had established his advantage. His jab repeatedly disrupted Chaves’ offense, while his lateral movement and precision punching allowed him to dictate where and how the exchanges took place.

At 24-2 with 14 knockouts and now holding two regional lightweight championships, Garcia believes defeating a previously unbeaten opponent of Chaves’ caliber has changed the trajectory of his career.

“This victory opens a new chapter for me,” Garcia said. “Beating an undefeated fighter who was 22-0 with 19 knockouts and winning the IBF International and WBO Latino titles is the type of victory that can change a fighter’s career. I’m grateful because opportunities like this are not guaranteed in boxing. You have to be ready when your name is called, and I was ready. Now I want to keep improving, keep winning and continue moving toward the top of the lightweight division. I’m not going to get ahead of myself. I’m going to stay humble, stay in the gym and let my team guide me toward the next opportunity.”

Bobby Harrison, President 

of

 BiYu Promotions

, praised Garcia for embracing the underdog role and producing a performance that Harrison believes will create significantly bigger opportunities for the Dominican lightweight.

“What Eridson Garcia did was incredible,” Harrison said. “He went into this fight as a 7-1 underdog against an undefeated fighter who everyone was saying is the next great fighter from Argentina, and he didn’t just find a way to win, he put on a boxing clinic. The jab, the footwork, the distance, the accuracy and the composure were all outstanding. The fact that he dropped Chaves four times was insane. He controlled the fight from beginning to end. The world got an opportunity to see what we at BiYu Promotions already knew, that Eridson Garcia is a serious lightweight contender.”

Harrison believes Garcia’s newly acquired IBF International and WBO Latino titles, combined with the quality of his performance, should put him in position for another significant fight.

“This victory changes everything for Eridson,” Harrison continued. “He now has two important titles around his waist and a signature victory over an undefeated, dangerous opponent. The next step is to capitalize on this momentum. We’re going to sit down with his team, look at the opportunities that become available and make the move that gets him closer to where he wants to be, a world title shot. He earned the right to be in the conversation with the top lightweights, and we intend to keep putting him in meaningful fights.”

Garcia entered the night as the betting underdog. He left with four knockdowns, two championship belts and the most significant victory of his professional career. For a fighter who was given little chance by the oddsmakers, Garcia didn't need to say much after 10 rounds. His performance had already delivered the message. Eridson Garcia is no longer an underdog to overlook.

“This has been one of my best camps, and my dad, Kevin Sparrow, has been pushing me to another level every day,” said Sparrow. “We know this is a step-up fight, so there haven’t been any shortcuts. I’ve been preparing to be sharp, disciplined and ready for anything Flores brings. I’m going there to show the world my talent and skillset."

Sparrow respects the experience Flores brings but believes facing a seasoned opponent is exactly what he needs at this stage of his career.

“Flores has over 40 professional fights, and I know this is a mjor step up for me, but these are the fights I want,” Sparrow said. “I don’t want easy fights just to protect an undefeated record. I want to prove what level I’m on. Beating a veteran like Flores will show people I’m ready to keep moving up.”

The Dominican Republic assignment will also give Sparrow his first taste of competing internationally as a professional.

“I’m excited to fight outside the U.S. for the first time,” Sparrow added. “If I want to become a top fighter, I have to be able to perform anywhere. Once the bell rings, it doesn’t matter where we are. I’m coming to represent my family and my team and leave the Dominican Republic 7-0.”

With four stoppages in six professional victories, Sparrow plans to give viewers an entertaining performance.

“Fans can expect the best version of me they’ve seen,” Sparrow said. “I’m young, hungry and coming to make people remember my name. Everyone watching on CombatVisionTV is going to see why ‘Tha Postman’ is ready for the next level.”

Bobby Harrison, President of BiYu Promotions, believes the matchup will provide Sparrow with an opportunity to establish himself as a prospect to watch in the 140-pound division.

“Pryce has the talent, confidence and hunger to become one of the top prospects in the super lightweight division,” Harrison said. “Now we want to test him against experienced fighters who will help bring out his best. Flores has 41 professional fights, so this is a legitimate step up for Pryce and an opportunity for him to show everyone what we believe he can become.”

Harrison also encouraged fight fans to tune in through CombatVisionTV.

“Boxing fans should download the CombatVisionTV app because this is where they can watch talented young fighters like Pryce develop before the rest of the world catches on,” Harrison continued. “Dominican Fight Night is about giving hungry fighters meaningful opportunities and giving fans worldwide a chance to watch their journeys unfold.”

Thunderdome 55 Results From Metro City, Perth, Australia

Credit: Mike O'Hara/Dragon Fire Boxing 

Press Release: September 1, 2026 By Dragon Fire Boxing - On August 28th, Dragon Fire Boxing Promotions returned to Metro City Arena for yet another explosive night of boxing.

In the main event, Owen Corrigan maintained his undefeated record, defeating Paulo Ratumaikoro by split decision.

The card also showcased a wide variety of exciting fights and quick knockouts.

Owen Corrigan vs Paulo Ratumaikoro

In the card’s headliner, Owen Corrigan defeated Paulo Ratumaikoro by split decision in his first-ever main event.

The win moves Corrigan’s unbeaten record to 7-0.

Coming off a career-best performance against Micah Rivetti, Ireland’s “Bomber” was originally slated to defend his newly won ANBF Australasian Light Heavyweight Title against Cole Smith.

However after Smith withdrew, he was replaced by Paulo Ratumaikoro and the fight took place one weight class above.

Despite the last-minute changes, Corrigan picked up the win in a hard-fought encounter.

Corrigan started the fight patiently, looking to control the range and dictate the pace through pressing the action. 

In an attempt to get inside, Ratumaikoro frequently looked to land the overhand right.

Following the advice from his corner, Corrigan began to utilise his jab more effectively in the third round.

However, whenever the Irishman looked to close the distance Ratumaikoro found success with the overhand as he continued to make the fight look ugly in the pocket.

By the fifth round, Corrigan had started to make reads on his opponent, using his pressure to smother Ratumaikoro against the ropes before the final bell.

When the scorecards were read, it was Corrigan who walked away with the split-decision victory.

Providing the valiant effort from Ratumaikoro, the fight highlighted Corrigan’s ability to adapt and problem solve.

With world renowned trainer Angelo Hyder by his side, the sky is the limit for the Irishman who continues to make his mark as a fighter to watch in the Perth boxing scene.

Michael Bazley vs Sheng Xu

In the co-main event, Michael Bazley defeated Sheng Xu via first-round KO.

Fresh off winning the WA State Heavyweight Championship back in May, “Big Bad” Michael Bazley stepped into the ring against Sheng Xu, his second international opponent.

Bazley delivered yet another stunning knockout to maintain his undefeated record.

The fight started with The Aussie controlling the range with his jab while applying effective forward pressure.

Xu, the much smaller fighter, had a difficult time getting inside. When he did, he was met with a flurry of punches that sent him crashing to the canvas.

The Chinese fighter failed to answer the count, giving Bazley yet another KO victory.

Joel Lewis vs Weifang Li

Earlier in the card, Joel Lewis defeated Weifang Li in their rematch, stopping him via first-round TKO.

The two men first met back in May, with the fight ending in a majority draw. This time around, Lewis finished Li early with a brutal finish.

Both men looked to establish their jab early, attempting to stamp their authority on the fight.

During an exchange in the pocket, Lewis rocked Li with a huge right hook that staggered him backwards. The former state champion followed up with a barrage of punches, dropping Li to the canvas.

Lewis, who displayed a much more patient approach, dropped his opponent two more times before the referee waved off the contest.
