    Re: Tim Silvia vs Ray Mercer in a boxing match.

    Looks like the fight is off:


    A boxing “superfight” of sorts between former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia and former WBO heavyweight boxing champion Ray Mercer has been struck from Adrenaline III on May 30 at the Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City, N.J.

    Adrenaline promoter Monte Cox alerted MMAWeekly.com of the change late Monday evening.

    The New Jersey State Athletic Control Board has refused to sanction the headlining bout, according to Commissioner Nick Lembo, though he declined to comment on the decision.

    Adrenaline III will go on as an all-MMA card, and several replacements for the main event are under consideration, including Jeremy Horn.

    Adrenaline promoter Monte Cox is currently searching for another venue to host the Sylvia/Mercer tilt, and indicated June as a possibility for the rescheduled event.

    The bout with Mercer is to serve as Sylvia’s professional boxing debut, having served an eight-year career in mixed martial arts that lead him to the pinnacle of the sport, twice serving as UFC heavyweight champion.

    Forty-seven-year-old Mercer is 36-7-1 as a professional boxer, a gold medal winner in the 1988 Olympics and a former WBO heavyweight champion. Mercer dipped his toes into MMA waters in 2007 with an exhibition bout against Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson, losing by submission early in the first round. His last fight was a boxing match last September in Sweden, where he won a decision over Richel Hersisia.

    The fight was originally under consideration as an MMA bout, but in earlier comments to MMAWeekly.com, Cox decided a boxing match would be more competitive.

    Re: Tim Silvia vs Ray Mercer in a boxing match.

    Looks like its on again

    the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board refused to sanction has apparently found a new home.

    Speaking with Sherdog.com, promoter Monte Cox announced the six-round heavyweight fight would be rescheduled for June 13 in Alabama as the main event of Adrenaline III. The hybrid boxing-mixed martial arts event will be held at the 17,000-seat BJCC arena in Birmingham.

    Cox confirmed that Alabama does not have a regulatory body to oversee the fight.

    Sylvia, 33, a former UFC heavyweight champion, will be making his professional boxing debut against the 1988 Olympic gold medalist.

    Mercer, who piled up a 36-7-1 record over his 20-year boxing career, is a former WBO heavyweight champion who has also fought in K-1 as well as dabbling in MMA. The 47-year-old dropped his only MMA match, a bout sanctioned as an exhibition in New Jersey, to Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson.

    Its a Boxing match inside of a cage.

    Commercial is a directors dream. Should be nominated for an award in my opinion.
