Jonny Mansour celebrates his knockout win at Fox Theatre in Detroit

Undefeated lightweight sensation and San Diego-based rising prospect Jonny Mansour thrilled the more than 3,200 fans in attendance at Fox Theatre — a boxing event record at the historic theatre — with a sensational knockout of Ernest Bustos Saturday in the co-main event on Wynn Records Network.

With the crowd chanting “Jonny” as he was walked to the ring by Detroit rap star 42 Dugg, former amateur standout Mansour (8-0, 3 KOs) put on a clinic, flooring Bustos (6-3, 2 KOs) three times en route to a second round KO (1:47). In the waning seconds of the first, the 26-year-old floored Bustos with a flush left hook to the chin. Mansour kept the pressure in the second, dropping Bustos again with a clean body shot midway through the round, and moments later landed a right-left combo followed by a picture-perfect right to the body, dropping his opponent for the third and final time.

“I want to thank all my fans,” Mansour said. “I put in so much work every single fight. My fight camps take a lot of dedication. This fight goes out to all my people in Detroit. I promised my mother that one day I would be a world champion, and tonight I am one step closer to that promise. I might have to move to Detroit. I will be back.”

The more than 3,000 paid attendees at Fox Theatre for the Salita Promotions and G2G Promotions event, in association with Wynn Records, were treated to a thrilling night of boxing at the nearly 100-year-old historic theatre. “We’ve been working to build Detroit back into a major hub for world class boxing and tonight we proved that it is truly back,” said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions.

World-ranked heavyweight contender Brandon Moore outworked former world title challenger Bryant Jennings en route to a unanimous decision victory, scored 99-91, 98-92 twice. Moore (20-1, 10 KOs) was by far the more active fighter from the opening bell, jabbing to keep his 41-year-old opponent at bay. An accidental headbutt opened a cut under Moore’s left eye in the sixth, followed by another one in the 10th and final round above the same eye, but Jennings struggled to keep up with the output of his much younger opponent.

Undefeated blue chip super featherweight prospect JuJu Ballo won a dominating shutout unanimous decision over Julian Gomez-Clemons, scored 60-54 by all three judges. San Diego’s Ballo (4-0) controlled the distance from the opening bell, landing sharp jabs and power hooks, and improved as the fight went on, landing his sharpest punch of the fight in the final round. “I’m putting the 126-lb division on notice. This isn’t even my best yet,” Ballo said.

In other results from Detroit: Undefeated Flint heavyweight Sardius Simmons (10-0, 6 KOs) scored a highlight-reel second-round TKO of Detrailous Webster (9-6, 5 KOs) at 1:55 of round two. Michigan favorite Jasmine Hampton (3-0, 2 KOs) won an eight-round unanimous decision over Gloria Munguilla (8-4), scored 78-74, 80-72, 78-74. Local favorite Hussam Al Mashadi (16-1, 12 KOs) edged Seantorious Martin (12-2, 7 KOs) via eight-round unanimous decision, scored 78-74, 79-73, 77-75. Richard Fernandez (5-0-1, 3 KOs) and Joshua Moreno (4-0-1, 3 KOs) fought to a split draw in six rounds. Lance Smith (8-0, 5 KOs) won a near-shutout unanimous decision over Marlin Sims (9-5, 4 KOs), scored 60-54, 60-54, 59-55. Savannah Tini (8-0, 2 KOs) won a shutout eight-round unanimous decision over Calista Silgado (22-21-4, 16 KOs), 80-72 on all three cards. And Sai Maldonado (3-0, 2 KOs) went the distance for the first time in a four-round unanimous decision over Dmytrko Kruhalskyi (0-1).

GLORY COLLISION 10: Mory Kromah Defends Heavyweight Title Against Antonio Plazibat on December 12

GLORY Heavyweight World Champion Mory Kromah defends his title against Antonio Plazibat at COLLISION 10 in Arnhem.

ARNHEM, Netherlands — The stage is officially set for one of the biggest heavyweight kickboxing fights of the year, as GLORY COLLISION 10 will feature reigning GLORY Heavyweight World Champion Mory Kromah defending his title against Croatian knockout artist Antonio Plazibat.

The championship showdown takes place Saturday, December 12, inside the iconic GelreDome, one of Europe’s premier stadium venues, promising a spectacular night of elite kickboxing action. The same card also features an eight-man Welterweight Grand Prix, where champion Chico Kwasi’s belt will be defended through the tournament, and a clash between Tarik Khbabez and Mohamed Touchassie.

Kromah (38-3-1, 25 KOs) enters his second heavyweight title defense after an unforgettable performance at GLORY COLLISION 9. The champion retained his crown in spectacular fashion by knocking out Milos Cvjeticanin with a devastating flying knee that quickly became one of the year’s most viral combat sports highlights — according to GLORY, the knockout generated more than 10 million views across the promotion’s social media platforms, helping establish Kromah as one of kickboxing’s fastest-rising global stars.

The rivalry needs no selling. At a promotional staredown in Rotterdam in September, the two men had to be separated in a scuffle that left a security guard on the canvas, and they were put in the same room again at the GLORY 110 fan zone in Antwerp this past weekend.

“Plazibat thinks he is coming to take my belt. He can think again,” Kromah said. “He already had his time in GLORY. This is a new era, the Mory Kromah era. When my knee connects to his chin, he will go to sleep and only dream of becoming GLORY champion.”

Plazibat (24-5, 17 KOs) secured his opportunity by delivering an emphatic knockout victory over Anis Bouzid at GLORY COLLISION 9, immediately solidifying himself as the division’s No. 1 contender. The Croatian powerhouse made his intentions perfectly clear.

“The plan is simple. I will smash his face and beat him down until he quits,” Plazibat said. “No more playing heavyweight for Mory Kromah. He does not know the world he is entering when he is in the ring with me.”

The heavyweight title Kromah holds was made famous by Rico Verhoeven, who ruled the division for a decade before leaving GLORY for the boxing ring — where he challenged Oleksandr Usyk for a world title in Egypt in May. Verhoeven is back in the headlines this week: the Dutchman says he has accepted an offer to box former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder on December 11, the night before COLLISION 10, though Wilder’s agreement and the final terms are not yet confirmed.
