    Oneida Nation Homelands (March 27, 2015) - When the Saturday, April 18 fight between Lucas "La Maquina" Matthysse and "The Siberian Rocky" Ruslan Provodnikov at Turning Stone Resort Casino was announced, the boxing world erupted - and ticket sales mimicked the enthusiasm. Due to the unprecedented demand to see this sure-fire "Fight of the Year" candidate, ringside seats sold out in only 15 minutes - and the entire event is now near sellout with Turning Stone releasing the last group of tickets. Limited $35 and $25 seats are still available for this epic fight.


    Former World Champions Lucas "La Maquina" Matthysse and "The Siberian Rocky" Ruslan Provodnikov, two of boxing's hardest punchers, will take the stage on April 18 at Turning Stone Resort in a 12-round junior welterweight showdown which will be televised as part of a split site doubleheader live on HBO Boxing After Dark®. The clash of these two fearsome fighters will generate what is sure to be an all-action battle to remember.


    The host of this legendary event, the Oneida Nation's Turning Stone Resort Casino, continues to be nationally recognized as a leading venue for blockbuster boxing matches. In fact, boxing legend Mike Tyson selected Turning Stone Resort as the venue for his world debut as a promoter, Muhammad Ali's daughter Laila Ali made her boxing debut at Turning Stone, and many boxing hall-of-famers have promoted fight cards or fought at the resort in recent years, and now Turning Stone has landed a "Fight of the Year" contender over arenas in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Miami. The April 18 fight will mark Turning Stone's 15th televised boxing event in less than two years, cementing the resort as a mecca for knockout nationally-televised fights.


    A truly stunning 3,400 acre destination resort, Turning Stone Resort also offers four award-winning hotels, an eclectic mix of more than 20 fine- and casual-dining restaurants, world-class amenities, including two luxury spas, five professional-level golf courses, an indoor tennis and golf dome, vast entertainment options, multiple nightlife venues and a 120,000 square foot Vegas-style gaming floor. Turning Stone Resort recently received several prestigious awards, including three AAA Four Diamond awards, accolades granted to less than four percent of AAA's approved properties, distinguishing Turning Stone as the only resort in the entire Northeast with three Four Diamond venues at one property.


    Matthysse vs. Provodnikov is a 12-round junior welterweight bout presented by Banner Promotions, Golden Boy Promotions in association with Arano Box Promotions and is sponsored by Corona Extra, Mexico, Live it To Believe It! and Khortytsa Vodka. Doors are currently scheduled to open at 6:00 p.m. with the first bout scheduled for 7:00 p.m. and the HBO Boxing After Dark® telecast will being at 9:45 p.m. ET/PT.


    Limited seats are still available by calling the Turning Stone Resort Box Office at 315-361-7469 or online at Ticketmaster.

    They only have less than a month to train? Can someone school me on this because I'm used to seeing big fights getting announced at least 2 months prior.

    this is the best fight of the year on paper, for all known bouts scheduled for 2015 anyway. Hope it doesn't take too much out of either, but it is hard to imagine it won't.

    Nah, someone is going to break down eventually, either Ruslan breaks Matthysse with overhand rights, or Matthysse breaks him down.
