Cassius Chaney Ready To Greet Michael Hunter At The Crossroads

BY LUCAS KETELLE BoxingScene.com
Published Mon May 27, 2024, 11:00 AM EDT

Heavyweight Cassius Chaney is looking to build off his spectacular knockout of Trevor Bryan last November.

Chaney faces former 2012 U.S. Olympian Michael Hunter as part of Don King’s “Fists of Fury” event on June 7, at the Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

Chaney (23-1, 16 KOs), 36, is seeking a title fight, and facing the 35-year-old Hunter (21-1-2, 15 KOs) is a step in the right direction. Chaney, who lost a split decision to George Arias in 2021, was once considered a heavily-touted prospect who came to the sport late after being a forward for the University of New Haven basketball team.

“My knockout over Trevor Bryan was so long ago, so now I am just looking forward to getting back into the ring,” said Chaney. “It was a statement because I was out of the ring for a while before that fight, so I’m looking forward to getting back to it.”

Chaney was coming off a 14-month layoff and had only had one fight since losing to Arias. That fight, against Matthew McKinney, lasted just one round before Chaney won via a technical knockout.

“I look forward to getting back in there and showcasing my abilities. I have grown a lot this past year, been boxing constantly, and been around different fighters,” said Chaney. “I have structured my team for me with people I trust. I am more at ease with my training because I trust the people I am with. You don’t want to be in a situation where you are with a great trainer but don’t trust them because it makes it hard to do certain stuff.”

Meanwhile, Hunter hasn’t lost since his defeat to the now undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in a fight that took place at the cruiserweight division in 2017. Hunter has two draws in his last six fights. His draw with Jerry Forrest was a concern as he showed signs of fatigue, a trait not seen in his fights.

Chaney is eager to get firmly back on track and believes in his team. Hunter is the most accomplished fighter he has faced on paper. The bout serves as a crossroads fight for both as they enter or pass their mid-30s.

“Stylistically, Hunter is a much different matchup for me, so I am looking forward to that,” said Chaney. “My last win is behind me, so this is a whole new challenge, and I’m looking forward to it.”

WBC WORLD CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION NOEL MIKAELIAN IS OUT OF WORLD TITLE FIGHT ON DON KING’S “FISTS OF FURY” EVENT ON JUNE 7 DUE TO INJURY

FOUR TITLE FIGHTS ON “FISTS OF FURY” CHAMPIONSHIP CARD WILL BE HELD FRIDAY, JUNE 7, AT THE HARD ROCK LIVE AT SEMINOLE HARD ROCK HOTEL & CASINO IN HOLLYWOOD, FL

HOLLYWOOD, FL (May 22, 2024) – WBC World Cruiserweight champion Noel “The Dark Horse” Mikaelian (27-2, 12 KOs) has been forced out of his world title defense against number one challenger Ryan “The Bruiser” Rozicki (20-1, 19 KOs) from Ontario, Canada due to a cut near his eye.

Mikaelian suffered a cut near his eye while preparing for his June 7 showdown. Although disappointed, Mikaelian will be ready for Don King’s next monumental fight card to return to the ring. “I’m sorry to my fans and the boxing community,” said Mikaelian. “I’ll be ready to return to action and defend my world title in time for Don King’s next massive event.”

“This is why we have so many title fights on the card,” said King. “June 7’s “Fists of Fury” will still have multiple titles on the line for boxing fans, and Mikaelian will be back to defend his title as soon as possible.”

Featured on the “Fists of Fury” event taking place at the Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL, will be a highly anticipated clash between one of the sport’s most decorated fighters, former four-division world champion Adrien “The Problem” Broner (35-4-1, 24 KOs) taking on Las Vegas’ Blair “The Flair” Cobbs (16-1-1, 10 KOs). This WBC People’s Championship bout marks Broner’s journey back to a world title opportunity while Cobbs returns to the ring for the first time in nearly two years.

The popular and exciting WBA Continental USA Middleweight Champion, Paterson, NJ’s Ian “The Young General” Green (18-2 with 12 KOs) will be defending his title against Toledo’s Roy Barringer (10-4, 6 KOs). The fan-favorite Green enters this bout on the strength of six straight victories.

The WBC International Lightweight Championship will be up for grabs as champion Antonio Perez (9-0, 5 KOs) of Harrisburg, PA, will challenge local favorite Antonio Williams (16-0-1, 7 KOs) of Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

A great WBA heavyweight special attraction title bout will spotlight two rising stars in the division as Cassius Chaney (23-1, 16 KOs) of New London, CT will battle Michael “The Bounty” Hunter (21-1-2, 15 KOs) of Las Vegas, NV. Chaney will be risking his WBA Continental North American Championship belt.

Recently added to the star-studded card is a cruiserweight attraction featuring Sarasota, FL’s Johnnie Langston (11-3, 4 KOs) squaring off against Mike Perez (29-3-1, 20 KOs) of Ciego de Avila, Cuba.

Don King:



“We are going to be here and bring boxing back to the fans, where it rightly belongs. I am very excited and pleased to do so. June 7 will be an exciting evening and will be second to none. We will be able to bring you Adrien “The Problem” Broner, and he is a problem, but so am I.”



“Most of these guys will fight better than they talk. That’s what they are. They are fighters. They are in the hurt business, and they don’t sit around and cry. This is the business to hurt people. We play the cards we are dealt, and we deal with them.”



Adrien Broner:



“Now look at all this clown s—t and none of this clown s—t will work in the ring. People say I’m a clown but I’m a different type of clown. He’s (Cobbs) a clown in the circus. I’m “IT.” I’m some scary type of clown. It gets scary when you talk about me. That s—t isn’t going to work on me.”



“June 7, I want everyone to come out. This time I don’t need to say anything, he’s doing everything for me. I’m about to f—k this guy up. I look at him like Bill Haney if he was a boxer, no disrespect to Bill Haney. June 7 is doomsday and I’m training good. I’m training in Las Vegas with my little brother Tank (Davis). A lot of people thought I wouldn’t show up but I’m in shape and I can’t wait to put on a great performance. So, everyone come out and we’re about to get money. Let’s go Don, we got money to make.”



Blair Cobbs:

“It’s none other than Blair “The Flair,” the most exciting man in boxing. I come out blazing like never before. You guys are going to see something that you’ve never seen before. Things that are going to happen to Broner are going to be things never seen before. You guys are going to see action-packed performances, and this is all that I am about. I’ve been born for this moment. I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time. I’ve been looking for this moment for a long time. I’ve been begging for this moment for a long time. I’ve been praying for this moment for a long time. Thank you, Don King, because Don King is back in action. June 7, I’ve arrived.”



Noel Mikaelian:



“First of all, thank you everyone for the attendance. I am really excited to fight at this beautiful location. Thank you, Don, for putting on this show. It will be a good fight. I’ll be defending my world title. I’m looking forward to bigger fights and this one is just like a training fight.”



Ryan Rozicki:



“I’m not really much of a talker, I’m here to knock him out or he’s going to knock me out. And that’s it.”



Ian Green:



“First and foremost, I want to thank God, my team, my trainers, and my management team. If you know me, you know I am a man of a few words. But one thing I will say, you’re looking at the No. 1 middleweight in the world. You’re looking at one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. You guys are probably looking at me like I am crazy. But every person who did amazing, legendary things was once looked at like they were crazy. So, on June 7, I am going to steal the show.”



Antonio Williams:



“I want to thank everyone for coming out and thank you, Don King. I just can’t wait for June 7. I’m going to work. I’ve been grinding for this man. I’ve been waiting for this opportunity.”

In August 2021, Shaw joined the WBA family when he was named Chief of Staff to the pioneering body’s presidency and advisor to President Gilberto Jesus Mendoza. He was instrumental in the resurgence of the North American Boxing Association (NABA) and a great liaison between the U.S. market and the WBA.
