Good looking prospect and RDR Promotions fighter, Isaiah Johnson destroyed Dieumerci Nzau in 72 seconds of their junior welterweight fight.

Noel Echevarria vs. Jerome Conquest UBO Title fight photos from Oct. 16
Noel Echevarria vs. Jerome Conquest Photos
The Venue At Coosa Landing in Gadsden, Alabama, USA 16/10/21
Below is the fight report from 16/10/21
Universal Boxing Organization (UBO) World Light Champion, Noel “The Holy Fire” Echevarria, successfully defended his title against Philadelphia native, Jerome “Conqueror” Conquest on Saturday, October 16th in Gadsden, Alabama. The unanimous decision victory advanced Echevarria’s record to an outstanding 20(12KO)-7(4KO)-0 and a ranking among the top 20 lightweights of the United States.
Both fighters came to win and delivered a crowd-pleasing main event show hosted by One One Six Boxing Promotions. Conquest was knocked down twice in earlier rounds, and despite Echevarria’s efforts to knock him out, both fighters exchanged blows all the way to the finishing bell of the 12th round. In the end, the judges agreed that Echevarria’s ring generalship and hard landing combinations reigned superior over Conquest.
This was Echevarria’s second 12 round bout and first title defense which came just two months after Echevarria won the vacant title by unanimous decision against Mexico City native and former IBF World Champion, Rodrigo Guerrero, on August 14th in Atlanta, Georgia. This was Echevarria’s fifth win in a row in 2021.
As each fight requires six to eight weeks of training, Echevarria gives new meaning to the phrase “hard work pay off”. Born in Puerto Rico and migrating to the United States at a young age, Echevarria, 30 years old, spent most of his youth on the streets mingling with the gangs of York, Pennsylvania. When his family uprooted and moved to Winston Salem, North Carolina, Echevarria struggled with staying out of trouble, bouncing from school to school, until he dropped out of high school. His combative nature earned the recognition of a friend’s mom who suggested he try boxing to put his talents to good use. Debuting as a professional boxer in 2011, Echevarria had promise as a boxing star with an undefeated record of 11-0, but lost everything in 2015, including his family, his home and boxing, when he succumbed to the influence of drugs and lost six highly publicized bouts in New York, California and Pittsburgh, including two bouts against world champions, Tevin Farmer and Oscar Valdez.
Despite being homeless in Winston Salem, and often having to sleep under bridges or in a tent, Echevarria never gave up on his dreams. He believes it is through God’s Grace that he lived through those trying years, and by 2017 he was sober and back in the ring training. Every day since he stepped back in that ring, Echevarria has had one focus: to achieve his ultimate goal of being a world recognized boxer from North Carolina and having enough success to benefit his family and the local community. “I hope to open some businesses in Kernersville and start a foundation to help troubled youth,” Noel explains. “If someone mentored me when I was younger, it would have made such a difference in my life. I’d like to make that difference.”
Team Holy Fire is currently sponsored by Kernersville business, Ideally Essential, and Raleigh businesses: Jawbreaker Boxing Gym and Superior Remodeling LLC. Additional sponsorship opportunities are available. For more information on Noel “The Holy Fire” Echevarria, please visit TeamHolyFire.com or @TheHolyFire on Facebook.

Two days, four continents, five UBO title fights
Between Saturday October 16 and Sunday October 17, four of the worlds continents, Europe, Africa, North America and Asia, will host five, at least on paper, very competitive Universal Boxing Organization™ (UBO) title fights.
Saturday will kick off with UBO International Super Middleweight Champion Arpad Klasz (11-0, 10 KOs) taking on former WBA world title-challenger Siarhei Khamitski from Belarus for the Interim UBO World Super Middleweight title in Budapest, Hungary.
Nicknamed “The Ghost”, Khamitski (32-21-3, 14 KOs) has won WBC, WBO and IBF regional titles, and defeated some very credible names. Most of his losses have come against top opponents, and he will undoubtedly feel confident about his chances against the much less experienced Klasz.
Around the same time in Accra, Ghana, Robert Quaye (19-0, 16 KOs) squares off with compatriot Nathanael Nukpe (13-7-1, 13 KOs) for the vacant UBO International Super Lightweight title.
On the same card, in another clash of Ghanaians, Holy Dorgbetor (7-0, 5 KOs) faces Success Tetteh (10-2, 8 KOs) with the vacant UBO Inter-Continental Featherweight title at stake.
Finally, Saturday´s UBO action will conclude with World Lightweight Champion Noel Echevarria (19-7, 12 KOs) defending his title for the first time against the very tough Jerome Conquest (11-5, 1 KO) in Gadsden, Alabama, USA.
On Sunday, in Abbottabad, Pakistan, undefeated fellow countrymen Muzafar Khan (9-0, 8 KOs) and Haidar Ali (3-0, 2 KOs) will duke it out for the vacant UBO Asia-Pacific Super Welterweight title, in a highly anticipated local rivalry.
Two days, four continents, five UBO title fights!

Q & A face-off: Echevarria vs. Conquest / Part 2: Noel Echevarria
Noel Echevarria vs. Jerome Conquest
Gadsden, Alabama, USA 16/10/21
Continuing the build-up to the Echevarria vs. Conquest UBO World Lightweight title fight in Gadsden, Alabama on October 16, its time to hear from the champion, Noel Echevarria.
Yesterday we got five answers from challenger Jerome Conquest. This is part two of Q & A Face-Off: Echevarria vs. Conquest.
Q: One fighter from Puerto Rico, the other from Philadelphia. Two iconic boxing locales. Who is your favourite Puerto Rican and Philadelphia fighter of all time?
A: My favourite fighter will have to be me. I never looked up to anybody. I’ve always had the heart and drive to be my own favourite, believing that I could be better.
Whether or not this is true, I have had to rely on my own path through the valley of the shadow of death, and coming out a better man and fighter. Living my story makes me my favourite fighter.
Q: If you could chose any profession/sport not boxing?
A: I really enjoy and am pretty good at basketball. I played when I was a boy, MVP as a shooting guard, but when I started doing bad in school and couldn’t play, I lost the drive to reach a scholarship. I fell in love with boxing, because I didn’t need a scholarship to reach the top.
Q: Favourite and least favourite part of training?
A: Favourite part is the ice baths after training. The feeling I get after a nice ice bath is amazing!
Least favourite part is around the 5th week of camp. The hurting nights where you can barely sleep, tossing and turning.
Q: Random and unprofessional question: Tyson Fury in the Titanic movie, or Manny Pacquiao in the Cats musical?
A: I’m gonna go with Fury in Titanic! That would be hilarious, but I believe he´d play a good role. But Pacquiao in Cats would be hilarious too.
Q: First thing you do the day after the fight, win or lose?
A: I wake up and thank God for such an amazing opportunity! Win or lose, I know my opponent and I have put in some serious work, and the best man will win.
I give thanks and pray blessings to the people who have helped me. I had to go through some tough competitors to become world champion, and now I get to prove it wasn’t a fluke.
I look at my belt every day while I train, reminding myself that I’ve worked so hard and am one of the very few in my community to become WORLD CHAMPION!

Q & A Face-Off: Echevarria vs. Conquest / Part 1: Jerome Conquest
Noel Echevarria vs. Jerome Conquest
Gadsden, Alabama, USA 16/10/21
With less than a week to go before their fight in Gadsden, Alabama on Saturday October 16, we asked the same five questions to UBO World Lightweight Champion Noel Echevarria and challenger Jerome Conquest.
This is part one of Q & A Face-Off: Echevarria vs. Conquest.
Q: One fighter originating from Puerto Rico, the other fighting out of Philadelphia. Two iconic boxing locales. Who is your favourite Puerto Rican fighter of all time, and your favourite Philadelphia fighter of all time?
A: I personally don’t have a favourite, but I love all Philadelphia fighters, past and present. We all have that grit and attitude, and we are never afraid of being great like what I am doing October 16. its Philly vs. Everybody.
Q: If you could chose any profession not boxing, or any other kind of athlete, which would it be?
A: I haven’t really put too much thought into any other profession, because I always like to work. Give me a boss´s or a corporate workers pay, and I will be good.
Q: Favourite part of training, and least favourite part of training?
A: My favourite part of training is to continuing to learn more about myself as a fighter, and pushing myself. The least favourite part is that I cant eat what I want.
Q: Random and unprofessional question: Tyson Fury starring in the Titanic movie, or Manny Pacquiao in the lead role of the Cats musical. What do you prefer?
A: Neither, haha.
Q: First thing you do the day after the fight on October 16th, win or lose?
A: No matter the outcome I am going to call my kids. Between boing being full time, and planning community events I don’t spend enough time with my kids and family. So that’s what I am going to do.

Noel Echevarria faces Jerome Conquest in UBO title defence October 16
Noel Echevarria vs. Jerome Conquest
Gadsden, Alabama, USA 16/10/21
Professional boxer, Noel “The Holy Fire” Echevarria, is scheduled to defend his Universal Boxing Organization (UBO) World Light Championship on October 16th in Gadsden, Alabama against Philadelphia native, Jerome “Conqueror” Conquest. This title defense comes just two months after Echevarria won the vacant title by unanimous decision against Mexico City native and former IBF World Champion, Rodrigo Guerrero, on August 14th in Atlanta, Georgia.
With a record of an outstanding 19(12KO)-7(4KO)-0, Echevarria is ranked in the top 25 lightweights of the United States and the top 125 lightweights of the world. This is Echevarria’s second scheduled for 12 rounds bout and first title defense for the UBO world championship. Conquest, on the other hand, with a record of 11(1KO)-5(1KO)-0, has never been scheduled for 12 rounds, but he is also coming off a win showcased in Atlantic City this past July.
2021 has been a busy year for Echevarria. The October 16th event promoted by One One Six Boxing will be his fifth professional boxing bout of 2021, each fight requiring six to eight weeks of training, meaning many long hours without much rest since January. All this hard work will hopefully pay off on October 16th when Echevarria can earn his 20th victory, possibly earning him a top 100 lightweight spot in the world.
Echevarria, 30 years old, is no stranger to working hard to achieve his goals. Born in Puerto Rico and migrating to the United States at a young age, Echevarria spent most of his youth on the streets mingling with the gangs of York, Pennsylvania. When his family uprooted and moved to Winston Salem, Echevarria struggled with staying out of trouble, bouncing from school to school, until he dropped out of high school. His combative nature earned the recognition of a friend’s mom who suggested he try boxing to put his talents to good use. Debuting as a professional boxer in 2011, Echevarria had promise as a boxing star with an undefeated record of 11-0, but lost everything in 2015, including his family, his home and boxing, when he succumbed to the influence of drugs and lost six highly publicized bouts in New York, California and Pittsburgh, including two bouts against world champions, Tevin Farmer and Oscar Valdez.
Despite being homeless in Winston Salem, and often having to sleep under bridges or in a tent, Echevarria never gave up on his dreams. He believes it is through God’s Grace that he lived through those trying years, and by 2017 he was sober and back in the ring training. Every day since he stepped back in that ring, Echevarria has had one focus: to achieve his ultimate goal of being a world recognized boxer from Winston Salem and having enough success to benefit his family and the local community. “I hope to open some businesses in Kernersville and start a foundation to help troubled youth,” Noel explains. “If someone mentored me when I was younger, it would have made such a difference in my life. I’d like to make that difference.”
In person and pay-per-view tickets are available for Echevarria v. Conquest on October 16th. To purchase your pay-per- view ticket, please visit www.theholyfire.eventbrite.com

Noel Echevarria defends UBO title against Jerome Conquest October 16
Noel Echevarria vs. Jerome Conquest
The Venue at Coosa Landing in Gadsden, Alabama, USA 16/10/21
Universal Boxing Organization™ (UBO) World Lightweight Champion Noel Echevarria (19-7, 12 KOs) is set to make his first defense just two months after winning the title.
“The Holy Fire” won the UBO crown with a unanimous decision over former IBF World Champion Rodrigo Guerrero in August, and on October 16 at The Venue at Coosa Landing in Gadsden, Alabama he puts it on the line in the main event of a card promoted by One One Six Boxing Promotions.
30-year-old Echevarria, born in Puerto Rico but now fighting out of Kernersville, North Carolina, will take on Philadelphia’s Jerome “Conqueror” Conquest, a fellow southpaw with tunnel vision to shock the reigning champion and use the triumph for a greater cause.
As is the case with many fighters from “The City of Brotherly Love”, Conquest has not been babied on his way to the biggest fight of his life, as his somewhat mediocre record of 11-5 (1) suggests.
But, from one of the most dangerous neighbourhoods in Philadelphia, Strawberry Mansion, he is a much better fighter than the numbers indicate, and with a mission to inspire youth that crime is not the answer, he has all the motivation he needs on October 16.
Loosing his best friend to street-violence changed the life of Conquest, opened his eyes and made him dedicate himself to boxing, and to work for a better future for Philadelphia kids.
He is very much fighting for them when he challenges Echevarria, to show that big things can be achieved no matter where you come from and what you have been through.
However, Echevarria, himself a role-model who came back from homelessness and drug-addiction to become World Champion, has no intentions of letting go of what he has worked so hard for. He too is fighting as living proof that its never too late to turn your life around.
Two genuine fighters with big hearts and inspirational stories. Only one can come out on top, but no matter who walks away with the UBO World Lightweight title following their fight, both men are winners in life!
On October 16 we will see if Conquest can conquer, or if the Holy Fire is too hot on the night.
