Today Arena CEO Ahmet Öner announced that he will not continue his cooperation with Gary Shaw Productions in the US.
Together, Arena and GSP had featured Cuban rising superstar Yuriorkis Gamboa on “HBO Boxing After Dark” on May 17 and October 4 of this year.
“We’ve had two great shows with GSP”, states Öner. “And I personally thank Gary for his friendship and the good work he and his whole team has done. But now, the time has come to move on. Arena will go its own way. I am sure that Gary will understand me and I hope that there will be no bad blood at all.”
Öner made clear that GSP will not be representing any of his boxers including “El Ciclon” Gamboa, 12-0, who just knocked out previously unbeaten Marcos Ramirez in the former Olympic Gold Medallist's second HBO appearance.
