PROSPECTS ROMAN GREENBERG AND
EDGAR SANTANA ADDED TO UNDERCARD
HOLLYWOOD, FL, February 16 – While Shannon Briggs and Sultan Ibragimov
determine boxing’s present when they battle for the WBO Heavyweight
Championship on Saturday, March 10, two of boxing’s rising stars,
heavyweight Roman Greenberg and junior welterweight Edgar Santana, will
represent the future in intriguing undercard bouts at The Theater at
Madison Square Garden.
“Roman Greenberg and Edgar Santana are future world champions in their
respective divisions,” said Leon Margules, Executive Director of
Seminole Warriors Boxing. “Both have the skill, style, and heart to
become stars, and fight fans will get to see them in action on March 10,
if they are fortunate enough to get a ticket.”
Only 24 years old, Isreali heavyweight contender Roman Greenberg (24-0,
17 KOs) has been impressing more people with each fight, as he makes his
way up the rankings. At 6’3’’ and weighing 240 lbs, and with the ability
to box or bang in the ring, Greenberg has impressed with his physical
tools as well as his maturity in the ring. The IBO Intercontinental
heavyweight champion holds wins over tested veterans Kendrick Releford
and Julius Francis, and in his last bout he knocked out Steve Pannell in
just three rounds. Roman was born in Russia, lived in Austria and moved
to Isreal when he was 11. He currently resides in Haifa, Isreal, but
also has a residence and trains in England. As a result Greenberg speaks
English, Russian, German and Hebrew fluently.
A proud native of Manati, Puerto Rico who now makes his home in New York
City’s Spanish Harlem, Edgar ‘El Chamaco’ Santana (20-2, 13 KOs) has
built a loyal fan following with his charismatic style and two-fisted
attack in the ring. Winner of 15 in a row since 2003, Santana is coming
off an impressive third round stoppage of Meacher Major last November.
HBO will televise Briggs vs Ibragimov - which is presented by Seminole
Warriors Boxing and Golden Boy Promotions, in association with Golden
Grain, Nafta Moskva, Global Advertising Strategies, Gotham Boxing and
Madison Square Garden – live beginning at 10pm ET / and on delay at 10pm
PT.
