Top Super Featherweights Tsendy Erdenebat
& Cobia Breedy Headline In Maryland On May 1
Friday, May 1, ProBox Promotions and NoXcuse Promotions will
proudly present The Contender Series, a night of
action-packed world-class boxing featuring undefeated super
featherweight Tsendbaatar “Chinggis Khaan” Erdenebat (14-0,
6 KOs) of Mongolia taking on once-beaten Cobia Breedy (18-1,
8 KOs) of nearby Largo, Maryland, in the explosive 10-round
main event from The HALL at Live! in Live! Casino Hotel
Maryland in Hanover, Maryland, and broadcast in real time on
ProBoxTV (7:00 pm EDT/4:00 pm PDT).
In the 10-round super featherweight co-feature, entertaining
fan favorite “The Franchise” Francois Scarboro Jr. (13-0, 9
KOs) of Cheverly, Maryland, will look to defend his home
turf against Managua, Nicaragua’s Maxwel Montes (13-4-1, 7
KOs).
And in the chief supporting bout, 21-year-old Washington,
DC-based welterweight prospect David “The Bodysnatcher”
Whitmire (11-0, 8 KOs) will take his toughest test to date
against Albuquerque veteran Jose Luis “Guerro” Sanchez
(14-6-2, 4 KOs).
Now living in Paramount, California, but originally hailing
from Tsetserleg, Mongolia, Tsendbaatar Erdenebat competed
for his native country in the 2020 Tokyo and 2016 Rio Summer
Olympics, and won a gold medal at the 2018 Asian Games
before turning professional in 2018.
Erdenebat is a ProBoxTV veteran, having already appeared
five times in the proving grounds of the Future Stars and
Contender Series. In February of last year, the 29-year-old
southpaw captured the WBA Central Asia Lightweight title
with a dominant TKO victory over Mexico’s (then 15-1-2)
Pedro Bernal in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, marking his first
time fighting on home soil and fulfilling his dream of
winning a title in his native Mongolia. Erdenebat was last
seen scoring a short-notice unanimous 10-round decision over
ultra-tough Mexican contender Abraham Montoya in November of
last year, live on ProBoxTV.
Originally from Bridgetown, Barbados, and now living in the
DMV, 34-year-old Cobia Breedy was a standout amateur boxer
who made his country’s 2024 Olympic team but did not compete
due to a shoulder injury. Breedy has trained out of Barry
Hunter’s HeadBangers Gym in Washington DC for the past
couple of years, having relocated to the area prior to
turning pro in 2014.
Breedy’s only career loss came to a different Mongolian
Olympian, 2012 Olympic Gold medallist Tugstsogt Nyambayar,
in September 2020. Although Breedy went down in rounds one
and two, he battled back to lose a tight split decision in a
world title eliminator, televised live on Showtime. Breedy
has sparred with pound-for-pound entrants Shakur Stevenson
and Gervonta Davis. He was last seen in the ring stopping
19-4 Dexter Marques in October of last year.
Several other exciting Future Stars series bouts are
scheduled, featuring several local and national prospects.
In a six-round welterweight showcase, 21-year-old phenom
Benjamin Johnson (7-0. 7 KOs) of Springdale, Maryland will
face battle-hardened Lesther “El Negrito Explosivo” Espino
(10-8, 8 KOs) of Managua, Nicaragua.
Charles “LOLO” Harris Jr. (11-1, 7 KOs) of Rialto,
California, will return against Schereville, Indiana’s Blake
Fialka (2-2-1, 1 KOs) in a super lightweight six-rounder;
22-year-old former amateur standout Jordan “Iceman” Roach
(7-0, 2 KOs) of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, will take on
Holman “La Pulga” Matamoros (2-1) of Matagalpa, Nicaragua in
a super flyweight six-rounder; 25-year-old Washington, DC
southpaw Jay Stancil III (4-0, 1 KO) will continue his
development against Nicolas Daniels (0-1) of Westland,
Michigan, in a featherweight four-rounder, and in a women’s
six-round bantamweight tussle, Rianna Rios (10-0, 2 KOs) of
San Antonio will test herself against Elena “Guerrerita’
Ventura (9-11-2, 2 KOs) of San Antonino Castillo Velasco,
Oaxaca, Mexico.
In a very special added attraction, former amateur champion
and brand-new ProBox Promotions signee “Razor” Ramon Ordonez
of Newark, New Jersey, will make his highly anticipated pro
debut against Carlos Davila Villalobos (1-1) of Ensenada,
Baja California, Mexico.
Before turning professional, 19-year-old southpaw Ordonez
was one of the United States’ top amateurs, making it to the
US national team in 2025 while competing at the World
Championships in England and the World Boxing Cup in Brazil
as the youngest boxer on the squad. A five-time national
champion, Ordonez had his first amateur bout at age eight
and fought in more than 50 bouts, with most coming in
national tournaments.
Ordonez, whose parents hail from Arecibo, Puerto Rico, says
his goal is to become the next Puerto Rican superstar,
following in the footsteps of his favorites, Felix "Tito"
Trinidad and Miguel Cotto.
On fight night, doors open at 3:30 pm EDT and the first
fight starts at 4:00 pm EDT. The Hall at Live! Casino Hotel
Maryland is located at 7002 Arundel Mills Circle in Hanover,
Maryland. Free Parking for All Events. All Ages to Enter,
