WBU - Europe

By tomorrow the new President Of the WBU World Boxing Union,Inc. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, USA will be named pending completion of all paperwork. To confirm once again the WBU will be based back in the United Kingdom by the end of June back to its roots. As a thank you to all the supporters I have been authorized to post this once again for those that missed it that until the end of May which is Friday you can complete the paperwork and remit the sanction fee for the WBU World title for the special deal of 2000 euros which includes the 24k gold belt made by Masis Belts-the leader in championship belt manufacturing. Do the deal and you have not until August 2019 to fight but now SEPTEMBER due to the request of the boxers. 2000 euros for the WBU World title. Local area supervisor and it does include the belt! All other titles are 1500 euros including the same quality belt through the end of May. And the best part is when you defend the title the fee will not increase as long as you are the champion. You pay the same each title defense even though the sanction fee increases in June! Time is short. Come work with the new regime. Who will be the first champion of the UK based WBU

Granite Chin Boxing presented their fifth event at the Marina Bay SportsPlex in Quincy, MA, this past Saturday with a card featuring Worcester, MA featherweight prospect Irvin Gonzales plus hometown Chris Traietti against Alfredo Trevino of Sonora, Mexico, in a ten-round bout for the WBU Americas Cruiserweight Championship.

Traietti (23-4, 18 KOs) – doing triple duty as promoter, matchmaker and headliner – opened the bout working behind a strong jab, looking from the start to setup his most effective shot, a left hook to the body. Trevino (8-2-1, 1 KO) attempted to avoid it by jabbing and circling clockwise, taking Traietti’s leverage away from the hook but absorbing quick right cross counters in the process. Listening to his corner between rounds, Traietti made the adjustment and stepped to the right, cutting Trevino off and pinning him on the ropes where he was able to unleash a sustained body attack, dropping Trevino with shots that caused the crowd to wince in sympathy with Travino’s pain. Showing pluck, Trevino managed to regain his feet twice, however he finally succumbed to the clean shots. Referee Leo Gerstel stopped the bout after the third knockdown at 2:30 of round two. With the victory, Traietti captures the WBU Americas Cruiserweight Championship.

WBU World Heavyweight championship fight from the Videotron Centre in Quebec City Friday night:

Heavyweight Adam Braidwood (7-1) traveled from Edmonton for his chance at immortality in contesting for the WBU World Heavyweight title and scored the biggest win in his career, knocking down Eric Martel Baholeli (11-7-1) twice in the 5th round for the TKO victory to capture the gold and the title. Wisdom was that the longer this one went, the more it favored the more experienced Bahoeli, and indeed it was the local Quebec fighter in control over the first three rounds. Braidwood though would start to dominate physically in the 4th, in fact almost pushing Bahoeli completely out of the ring when the two locked heads together. Braidwood took full advantage of the upper hand and never relented for the duration, almost stopping his opponent as the 4th. The beginning of the 5th was delayed as the ringside physician examined a cut caused by a head butt under Braidwood's eye but saying he would allow one more round before stopping but the extra time wasn’t nearly enough for Bahoeli who went down rather easily from an equally exhausted Braidwood. Bahoeli managed to climb to his feet but was visibly wobbly and glassy-eyed and the bout was wisely called. Canada now has its own World Heavyweight Champion and he is called "The Boogeyman"
