Few $1005 tickets remain for Briggs-Ibragimov

Press Release: With the March 10th WBO heavyweight title fight between champion Shannon Briggs and challenger Sultan Ibragimov rapidly approaching, tickets for the Theater at Madison Square Garden are selling at a brisk clip, with very few of the $1005 seats remaining. “Fight fans have truly responded to this fight, and I’m not surprised,” said Leon Margules, Executive Director of Seminole Warriors Boxing. “Fans are eager to see Briggs returning to his hometown as a world champion, and also eager to see the crowning of boxing’s next great Heavyweight in Ibragimov. March 10th is going to be a great night for boxing.”  HBO will televise Briggs vs Ibragimov - which is presented by Seminole Warriors Boxing and Golden Boy Promotions, in association with Golden Grain, Nafta Moskva, Global Advertising Strategies and Madison Square Garden – live beginning at 10pm ET / and on delay at 10pm PT. The Brooklyn-born Briggs (48-4-1, 42 KOs) stopped reigning WBO Heavyweight Champion Sergei Liakhovich with one second left in the 12th and final round. Winner of 12 in a row, all by knockout, Briggs will face a stiff challenge in former Olympic Silver medalist Ibragimov (19-0-1, 16 KOs), an exciting two-fisted puncher who makes up for his lack of size with an aggressive attack, power, and unquestioned heart. He will return to fight in New York City for the first time since a third round TKO of former World Champion Al Cole in March of 2005. To obtain tickets, visit any Ticketmaster Outlet or the Madison Square Garden box office. Ticket for this highly anticipated event are priced at $80, $105, $205, $355, $605 and $1005.
