Youngstown’s Lyell to fight for middleweight crown

Columbus Boxing ExaminerSamuel Rossi

Youngstown’s own Billy Lyell (22-7, 4 KO) has just signed to square off against IBF Middleweight Champion Sebastian Sylvester (32-3 15 KO) next Saturday night in Neubrandenburg, Germany.

A 2002 graduate of Niles McKinley High School and recent graduate of Youngstown State University, Lyell is currently ranked #14 by the IBF. The fighter’s handlers entered a quick series of negotiations yesterday with the Sylvester camp after the Champion’s original opponent, Pablo Navascues, tested positive for banned substances.

Although the fight was made on short notice, Lyell has been in the gym for months in preparation for his next bout. Initially, he had been scheduled to fight next weekend in West Virginia, but a change of plans was in order once greater opportunity came about.

In a phone conversation moments ago, Pat Nelson, the fighter’s manager, said that, “Billy is in tip-top shape and is heading to Germany to win.”

The road to a title shot has been a long one for the Niles native since turning pro in 2003, including a two year stretch that saw him losing four of eight bouts between ’06 and ’08. However, through it all, Lyell has proven to be very game competition against middleweight up-and-comers like James Kirkland and Vanes Martirosyan.

In recent years, Lyell’s career has seen a rejuvenation of sorts that hit its highest note thus far last April when he defeated the previously unbeaten “Irish” John Duddy. That fight was widely viewed as a tune-up for Duddy who was believed to be on his way for a crack at WBC/WBO titlist Kelly “The Ghost” Pavlik, also from Youngstown, Ohio. Lyell’s split-decision win not only derailed Duddy’s fast-track to a title shot, but also managed to shake up much of the division’s make-up.

Sylvester secured the IBF championship two months prior to Lyell-Duddy, when he defeated Gaetano Nespro for the vacant middleweight strap. Fellow German Felix Sturm currently holds the WBO version of the title.

Nelson noted that “at five o’clock next Saturday, Youngstown may very well have its second reigning Middleweight Champion.” While such an occurence is a rarity for a city of its size, it will not be the first time that two champions of the same division graced the city streets with titles. Remember, it was just over twenty-five years ago when Valley natives Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini and Harry Arroyo simultaneously held the WBA and IBF Lightweight titles.

It is obvious that, for Youngstown, an added boost of morale and pride lays ahead should its fighter win.

But for Lyell, the fight brings with it the moment he has been dreaming about since he first learned to punch.

GOLDEN BOY PROMOTIONS REACHES AGREEMENT TO PROMOTE MEXICAN BOXING STAR SAUL “CANELO” ALVAREZ

LOS ANGELES, CA (January 22) – Golden Boy Promotions, one of the world’s leading boxing promotional companies, is pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached to promote undefeated Mexican boxing sensation and WBC Youth Welterweight World Champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, who will seek a world title shot at 147 pounds in 2010.

The multi-fight agreement between Golden Boy and Alvarez was signed today during a press conference in Guadalajara Jalisco, Mexico, the hometown of the promising Aztec boxer, and where he has fought numerous times, transforming himself into the sport’s most promising Mexican fighter.

“I want to show everyone that I will be a World Champion and that I’m ready to fight the best fighters in the world,” said Saul Alvarez.  ”The opportunity to work with Golden Boy is definitely one that I could not pass up as I feel it will help me achieve my goal of reaching my full potential as a fighter and becoming a huge success in boxing.”

“This is a very important moment for Golden Boy Promotions,” said Oscar de la Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions.  ”Saul is an idol throughout Mexico because he has incredible natural boxing talent and a charismatic personality to go along with it.  This signing of Saul Alvarez is something that will lead both Saul and Golden Boy to continued success in boxing in the United States, Mexico and around the world.”

“We have been working with Golden Boy Promotions for many years going back to the days when they promoted Oscar “Chololo” Larios and we are very happy that Saul Alvarez’s career will be guided by this influential company,” said Alvarez’s manager Jose Reynoso.

At just 19 years old, Guadalajara’s Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (30-0-1, 22 KO’s) has quickly become the most talked about young Mexican boxer today.  He compliments his natural boxing ability with devastating power, an extremely hard work ethic and an encyclopedic knowledge of boxing.  His fiery style in the ring and trademark red hair have earned him the nickname “Canelo” which translates to Cinnamon in English.  Canelo’s most notable victories include an April 2008 TKO win over Gabriel Martinez to retain his WBA Fedecentro Welterweight title, a unanimous decision win over then undefeated Euri “Million” Gonzalez in February of 2009 in which he retained his NABF Welterweight title and captured the WBO Latino Welterweight belt and an August 8, 2009 win to capture the WBC Youth Welterweight crown with a second round knockout over Russian Marat Khuzzev.  In his most recent fight on December 5, 2009, he won a unanimous decision over American Lanardo Tyner to retain his NABF Welterweight title.

A date and opponent for Canelo’s first fight with Golden Boy Promotions will be announced soon.  For more information visit www.goldenboypromotions.com or follow Golden Boy on Twitter at www.twitter.com/GoldenBoyBoxing.

Mr Mick Collier
Chairman – BBBofC Southern Area

I believe it’s important to keep close to fighters, trainers and managers.”

Mr. Collier then went on to talk briefly on a one of his major plans. “We’re looking to arrange an award ceremony in April or May. We’re following the lead by the Midlands Area who started one up about fifteen years ago.

It’ll be good for the Southern Area to also have an awards ceremony because we are now the biggest region, since we incorporated the Western Area.”

Mr. Collier will be attending the first major championship fight of his Chairmanship when he officiates at the Frank Maloney promoted British Bantamweight title fight between current champion Ian ‘Dappa’ Napa and Jamie McDonnell at the Brentwood Centre in Brentwood, Essex on the 22nd January.
