So I am a bit late but time slips away. Anyway, we have changed the structure of the WBU World Boxing Union, Inc. and the IBU International Boxing Union, Inc. as of today. The new "Licensee" program builds loyalty for the organizations, the promoters, and the fighters. Professional boxing is a mess-we all know that. Loyalty does not exists and no one "brands" themselves. Promoters practice "Helter Skelter" when promoting. They use this sanctioning body, that sanctioning body, a title company here, a title company there. It confuses everyone and no one benefits. Therefore we are introducing the WBU-IBU Exclusive Licensee Program. With this program the Promoter becomes our partner. He or she controls a determined market assigned to them. This means this is their "territory" to promoter our title fights and if anyone else wishes to promote our title fights they must go through the Licensee. However all title fights are still approved by the WBU-IBU. So how does it work? The promoter of record for the market area contracts with either the WBU or IBU for the area with a contract to promoter 3 title fights on any level including up to World. The cost is $6850 for WBU and IBU is $5850. This is the total for any 3 title fights on any level and includes the 3 applicable belts 24 carat gold made by Masis Belts in the USA at no charge AND a fourth belt for the Promoter engraved reading he is the Licensee for the market area. It can be hung in the office or used to secure sponsors and sell tickets. 4 belts and 3 sanctioned title fights for 1 fee. AND I will come in a day early to the first event to train a local person as the official supervisor for us so that the Promoter will not have to fly in any officials in the future! Obviously there are more details but that is the bare facts! Contact us now to see if we can make a deal. Let's be honest, flying in judges and representatives and the affiliated costs can be prohibited and now that wont be a problem. Oh-and any sanctioned title fights in the market area the Promoter Licensee gets 20% of the sanction fee as well!

Traietti triumphs as promoter, matchmaker and fighter

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"
