(NOV 5) Kali Reis
battles Kandi Wyatt For WBA Super Lightweight Title on Impact
Network at 10:30 PM ET.
Over the past few years, the top of sport of boxing has become
segmented into de-facto leagues, with three big distributions
platforms controlling the all of the high-end fights and
fighters.
That is all about to change with
the upstart Impact Network entering the proverbial ring of
bringing world championship and high-quality fights to the
boxing fans.
This Saturday (10:30 PM ET), Impact Network's 2nd fight night
will feature the WBA Super Lightweight fight between Kali Reis
and Kandi Wyatt. The card will also feature some highly regarded
undefeated prospects such as super middleweight Isaiah Steen as
well as heavyweight's Elvis Garcia and Jeremiah Milton.
Impact Network will automatically become a player in the world
of boxing with a reach of over 90 million households in the
United States. The outlet will also provide an opportunity for
some of the biggest and best promoters in the world to not only
be able to build their talent, but also to give a home for their
fighters instead on having to compete on another promoter's
affiliated platform.
The fight on Saturday is no exception as Hall of Fame promoter
Lou DiBella will stage the world title card.
"This is a great opportunity for the many high-quality fighters
and promoters that have been shut out of dates because they
aren't signed to a particular promoter or outlet. Many of these
companies can't survive without any type of output deal, site
revenue and sponsorships to showcase their fighters. There are
not enough dates to go around for the other promoters, who
themselves have great fighters. I'm grateful to have a Hall of
Famer like Lou DiBella be involved with this show, and the
support we are receiving from the entire boxing industry. Lou's
track record goes without saying, and he has a great roster of
fighter's that will appear on Impact. Impact was scheduled to
put on 12 shows in 2020, unfortunately they were knocked out the
Covid-10 Pandemic. We are committed to 24 shows in the next
year, so that will provide a great opportunity for these
promoters to be able to not only survive, but to thrive in
promoting their fighters in competitive bouts," said Steven
Marcano, of the SMH Group, the programming partner with Impact
Media Group
"Any outlet that is willing to put on great shows and is cost
effective is good for the business. There is a scarcity of
platforms for fighters. Impact can provide those opportunities.
Saturday's main event is a world title bout featuring Kali Reis,
who fought on HBO and most people thought beat Cecilia Braekhus.
Isaiah Steen is one of the top prospects and can generate
interest from the urban market. Elvis Garcia was a Mexican
Olympian who was the main sparring partner for Anthony Joshua
and the opener will have Jeremiah Milton, who was a major United
States amateur in his own right. This is a show with a lot of
talent that is headlined by a female world title bout. These are
great shows. Even better is that Impact is on free cable. It is
on most cable and satellite providers, and it is a tremendous
opportunity for these fighters to get great exposure," said Hall
of Fame Promoter, Lou DiBella of DiBella Entertainment.
Bishop Wayne T. Jackson, Founder of Impact Network stated:
"I am extremely happy to give the opportunity for young men and
women to showcase on Impact also giving the opportunity for
athletes who usually would not get this opportunity to be
visible to over 90 million homes and be able to secure financial
freedom through hard work."
