MIKAELIAN WINS THE WBC CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP; HEAVYWEIGHTS GUIDRY AND CHANEY BOTH WIN BY KNOCKOUT IN TITLE BOUTS

November 4, 2023, Miami, FL – All three of Don King’s “Only in America 92nd Celebration” Championship fights ended in spectacular knockout fashion at Casino Miami Jai Alai this evening. The evening’s marquee match-up saw newly crowned WBC Cruiserweight Champion Noel Mikaelian (27-2, 12 KOs) stop the Democratic Republic of Congo’s Ilunga Makabu (29-4, 25 KOs) one minute into the third round. After flooring Makabu in the second round, Miami’s Mikaelian, by way of Armenia, flustered the former champion with a barrage of punches. Entering this bout as the number one ranked contender, Mikaelian excelled in his first world title match.

The co-main event feature saw reigning NABA Gold Heavyweight Champion Jonathan Guidry (20-1-2, 12 KOs) retain his title against FECARBOX Heavyweight Champion Jesus Escalera (19-1, 19 KOs). After a back-and-forth first round, Dulac, LA’s Guidry imposed his will upon the undefeated heavyweight contender. In the second round, Guidry connected with an overhand right which put Escalera on the canvas for a ten count.

Following a dominant first round, the measured Cassius Chaney (23-1, 16 KOs) scored a second round knockdown with just over 30 seconds left when he floored Trevor Bryan (22-2, 15 KOs) with a right uppercut and connected again with a big right hook at the bell. Connecticut’s Chaney overwhelmed the former WBA champion resulting in a vicious seventh round KO via uppercut, capturing the vacant WBC Continental North American Championship.

Guidry on Escalera: “I thought he would be stronger. I know he is a dangerous fighter but tonight I was on a different level and it showed.”

Chaney on what the win means for his confidence:” Oh, it’s huge because that was a big-time knockout. My mindset was just to win but once I got yelled at in the corner I knew to step to him and throw the overhand right. I thought ‘I could probably get him’ and he just ran right into it.”
