THE first world class professional boxing event to be held in China’s mainland -— Fist of Power — will be staged at Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai this evening.


Ik Yang, or Yang Lianhui (15-0, 9KOs), 29, from Dalian, northeast China’s Liaoning Province ecco jeremy shoes sale , will take on Thailand’s Sukkasem Kietyoungyuth (13-2, 8KOs) in a 10-round challenge for the WBO Asia Pacific Lightweight title.


The co-main fight will feature Filipino Randy Petalcorin (21-1-1, 16KOs) battling Walter Tello of Panama in a 12-round fight for the WBA Interim Light Flyweight title.


A total of seven Chinese boxers will trade punches and skills with counterparts from the Philippines, Thailand and Australia, including unbeaten light heavyweight Zhou Yunfei (2-0), bronze medalist at last year’s National Games.


According to Li Sheng, president of the co-organizer SECA ecco inglewood shoes sale , most tickets for the debut professional boxing event in Shanghai will be given away as charity or gift tickets.


“Boxing is still regarded as a grass-roots, or underground, sport on the mainland, while it has become mainstream in cities like (China’s) Macau,” Li suggested.


Trained by Hall of Famer Freddie Roach, coach of Philippine icon Manny Pacquiao and Chinese Olympic champion Zou Shiming, Yang will be going for a third intercontinental belt in his professional career when he takes on Thai rival today.


Yang represented Beijing at the national amateur championships before he turned professional and took part in events in South Korea. The former “bad boy” spent four months in prison in 2008 for breaking a rival’s chin in an off-the-ring fight.


“Compared to Zou Shiming ecco illinois shoes sale , I’m a grass-roots child,” Yang joked. Talking about today’s fight, the Chinese boxer said he hadn’t looked at videos of his opponent’s fights, focusing mainly on his own training. “I want to take this belt home as a gift for my father,” Yang said at the weigh-in ceremony yesterday.


Interestingly, Pacquiao will defend his WBO welterweight title against American Chris Algieri at the Venetian’s Cotai Arena in Macau on November 22, when Zou (5-0) will fight over 12 rounds for the first time against Thailand’s Kwanpichit 13 Rien Express (27-0-2) on the undercard ecco ian shoes sale , with the winner earning a shot at the WBO flyweight title in February.

SRINAGAR, Indian-controlled Kashmir, May 28 (Xinhua) -- Immediately after the dusk on Saturday, Tariq Ahmad Mir along with his family of five gathered inside the premises of their house in uptown area of Srinagar city, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir, and began to scan the horizon towards west.


The family including their children were eagerly searching for the crescent in the sky upwards. Minutes after, as darkness began to cover the city ecco holton shoes sale , Mir noticed the crescent that was becoming conspicuously visible. Murmuring some Arabic verses, followed by prayers, Mir announced to his family about the beginning of the Islamic holy month of fasting -- Ramadan.


"Tonight, I will go to offer special night prayers in the neighbourhood mosque and then all of us have to get up and take pre-dawn meals, for this moon marks the beginning of our holy month of fasting," Mir explains to his grown up children. "From Sunday we will be observing fast for a month."


The beginning of the ninth month of the Islamic calendar was announced Saturday evening across India on state-run broadcasters with the sighting of new crescent.


"We witnessed the crescent ourselves, besides the Ruyat-e-Hilal (crescent sighting) committee also announced the sighting of moon last evening and with this Sunday will be the first day of Ramadan ecco helsinki shoes sale ," an official affiliated Srinagar's Jamia Masjid (grand mosque) told Xinhua. "One hour after the announcement, worshipers gathered in mosques to offer special night prayers."

"During this month, Muslims should read the holy Quran and try to imbibe the instructions in it, so as to live their lives as per its teachings ecco harold shoes sale ," Tufail Ahmad, a Muslim scholar said. "That will be the best tribute to this month."

During Ramadan, Muslims seek forgiveness for past sins, pray for guidance on straight path and ask for help in refraining from everyday "evils".


Muslims scholars say fasting is aimed at achieving spirituality.


"Abstaining from food and drinks is just an outward appearance of this worshiping exercise," explains Muslim scholar Mufti Ghulam Nabi. "The underlying aim of fasting is Muslims should actually stay away from falsehood, deceit, corruption and others sins."


Muslims are expected to start observing the fasting ritual once they reach puberty ecco faro plain shoes sale , as long as they are healthy.


Fasting is fourth of the five Pillars of Islam, which also include belief in God, daily prayers, giving to the poor, and a pilgrimage to M.
