UFC LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION GLOVER TEIXEIRA TO ATTEND MAYHEM IN MYRTLE 4 BOXING SHOW IN MYRTLE BEACH TOMORROW NIGHT AT CROWN REEF RESORT
 
Popular Ultimate Fighting Championship Champion Glover Teixeira will be in attendance tomorrow night (Saturday, May 20, 2021) at the beautiful Crown Reef Resort and Waterpark in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, as Christy Martin Promotions presents “Mayhem in Myrtle 4,” a night of world-class professional boxing action.
 
Teixeira won the prestigious UFC light heavyweight belt with an upset submission victory over Jan Błachowicz on September 25 at UFC 266 in the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
 
A proud Brazilian-American known as something of a miracle man, with the victory over Blachowicz, Teixeira became the oldest first-time champion in UFC history at age 42. Teixeira is originally from the rural community of Sobrália, Minas Gerais, Brazil and is of Portuguese descent. He moved to Danbury, CT in 1999 where he is now trained by Fernely Feliz Sr.
 
Teixeira also serves as chief sparring partner and cornerman for USA #1 amateur super heavyweight and national champion Fernely Jr., who is making his highly anticipated professional debut in a four-rounder against Stephen Kirnon (2-3-1, 1 KO) of Bronx, New York.
 
In the night’s six-round main event, popular undefeated super featherweight Benigno “Benny” Aguilar (6-0, 3 KOs) from Crescent City, Florida, will face Miami via Managua, Nicaragua’s Julio “El Halconcito” Buitrago (13-32, 3 KOs).
 
General admission tickets for “Mayhem In Myrtle 4” are available for $50 at Eventbrite.com or locally at Beast Boxing Myrtle Beach (3870 S Kings Hwy, Myrtle Beach). Ringside Tickets are SOLD OUT.
 
Rated the #1 amateur super heavyweight in the USA, Feliz is also the 2020 United States National Amateur Champion, The Ringside National Champion and an impressive five-time Golden Gloves Champion among his countless distinctions. His final amateur record will stand at 30-2.
 
Trained by his father, former heavyweight contender, Fernely Sr., the younger Feliz stands 6’ 2 ½” and typically weighs an agile 225 lbs. Blessed with natural abilities, Feliz’s blazing hand speed and lightning footwork that are often found in much smaller fighters. He has also shown a very high ring IQ by adapting to any style of opponent quickly.
 
For his professional career, Feliz will be promoted by Bulldog Boxing Promotions and managed by Steven Heid of Ringleader Boxing Management.
ABOUT MAYHEM IN MYRTLE 4:
 
On Saturday, November 20, at the beautiful Crown Reef Resort and Waterpark in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Christy Martin Promotions will proudly present “Mayhem In Myrtle 4,” a night of world-class professional boxing action.
 
In the night’s six-round main event, popular undefeated super featherweight Benigno “Benny” Aguilar (6-0, 3 KOs) from Crescent City, Florida, will face Miami via Managua, Nicaragua’s Julio “El Halconcito” Buitrago (13-32, 3 KOs).
