Super middleweight contender Joey Gilbert has opened camp in San Diego in preparation for his “Civil War” showdown with Jesse Brinkley on Saturday, February 14 at the Reno Events Center.

“I’ve trained here numerous times, the weather and the facilities are very conducive to a great camp,” said the confident Gilbert.

Working with trainer Richie Ortiz and strength and conditioning coach Matt Pendola, Gilbert has been in serious training mode since September.

“I knew this fight was on the horizon back then and have been training in San Diego and Big Bear with Coach Ortiz on a continuous basis," said Gilbert. "Now we’ll focus more on Brinkley and preparing for what we need to do to be successful on February 14th.

"I’ll also be working in San Diego with UFC star Diego Sanchez. He’s got a big fight coming up at the same time and we work very well together. He’s a world class athlete and training with him always pushes me.”

Although he will be training in the scenic, beautiful city of San Diego, Gilbert was quick to point out what the task at hand was, “Yep, it’s nice down here on the ocean, but this fight was appropriately titled “Civil War” and that’s what the fans in Reno should expect.”

Tickets for “Civil War” headlined by the 12 round super middleweight showdown between Jesse Brinkley and Joey Gilbert, are priced at $253.25, $153.25, $78.25 and 43.25 and are on sale now at the Reno Events Center box office and through Ticketmaster.

A five dollar discount is available on tickets priced at $43.25 for students, active military, and police and fire department personnel with valid ID. Doors at the Reno Events Center will open the night of the event at 6pm, with the first bell at 7pm.

“Civil War” is presented by Las Vegas based TKO Boxing Promotions and Reno’s Let’s Get It On Promotions.
