K-1 STANDOUT “MIGHTY MO” TO MAKE BOXING DEBUT ON MAY 18TH
HOLLYWOOD, FL, April 28 – As the highly anticipated, historical boxing
event – “Tribal Pride” fast approaches, Warriors Boxing Promotions and
Sycuan Ringside Promotions are packing the card with the type of
action-packed bouts both companies have built their reputations on.
‘Tribal Pride’, which is headlined by the Interim IBF Lightweight
Championship bout between Ricky Quiles (39-6-3, 8 KOs) and Julio Diaz
(32-3, 24 KOs), will air live on pay-per-view from the Seminole Hard
Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla., beginning at 9 p.m. ET / 6
p.m. PT.
The latest addition on tap for ‘Tribal Pride’ will be a special
Heavyweight attraction featuring former K-1 kickboxing superstar Siala
"Mighty Mo" Siliga, who will be making his professional boxing debut in
a 6 rounder against Lamar Stephens with a record of 6-2-1. Mighty Mo is
entering the boxing world in an untraditional fashion as he steps into
the ring to face an opponent who has 9 professional fights under his
belt.
“Boxers don’t do this sort of thing,” said Leon Margules, Executive
Director of Warriors Boxing Promotions. “Pro debuts are usual 4 round
fights where the participants are 1-0 or 1-1, but this is unheard of.
Fight fans are definitely in for treat as Mighty Mo has tremendous
punching power and is extremely agile for a Heavyweight. We are looking
forward to an exciting fight.”
Siala “Mighty Mo” Siliga has been one of the K-1 organization’s premier
kickboxers for a number of years, known for his knockout power and
exciting style while competing against the best the sport has to offer.
Siliga retired from kickboxing after a knockout win over former World
Boxing Champion Francois Botha. The rugged Californian has decided to
inject some life into boxing’s Heavyweight Division, and once you see
the 6-1, 275 pound “Mighty Mo” in action, you won’t soon forget him!
Tickets for Tribal Pride are priced at $25, $50, $100, and $150. They
are available at The Hard Rock Live Box Office at The Seminole Hard Rock
Hotel and Casino or by visiting www.ticketmaster.com. Doors open at
6:30PM, the first bell rings at 7:30PM. The event will be televised live
on Pay-Per-View starting at 9 p.m. EST / 6 p.m. PT (contact your local
cable provider for more information).
