The new Sampson Boxing of Russia, division Partner Boris Grinberg had this to say: ?It has taken many years to bring back a new heavyweight boxing style, combined with the team that has been put in place in Oxnard, California will be the recipe for the next future heavyweight champion.?

?Mago? Magomed, added: ?I am proud to be part of the Sampson Boxing family of fighters and look forward to making my contribution. When I spoke with Sultan Ibragimov, he told me that I needed to get in touch with Sampson Lewkowicz if I wanted to become champion.?

Pablo Sarmiento, which currently trains Middleweight phenom and gate-keeper Sergio ?Maravilla? Martinez, said: ?In only the second week of working with ?Mago?, Sergio and I have been pleasantly surprised to see great power combined with excellent hand speed coming from the south paw. I have now seen first-hand, a heavyweight boxer with these key attributes and I am excited to help propel his career to the next level. The boxing public will be able to see ?Mago? Magomed, for themselves on October 1, 2011 on the under-card of the Sergio Martinez fight in Atlantic City, NJ.
