Johnny Hovnanian memorial fund seminar with Shawn Yacoubian, Peter Cunningham and Ricardo O'Kane

Shawn Yacoubian, Peter Cunningham and Ricardo O’Kane will be hosting a seminar on January 28th to raise funds for the memorial of Johnny Hovnanian. The seminar will take place at Mark Parra’s House of Champions. The seminar cost is a minimum donation of $30 and everyone is welcome. 

Besides being Shawn's very close friend, Johnny was his right hand man throughout his fight career. Any video and pictures of Yacoubian’s early fight days were likely taken by Johnny. He traveled and helped corner Yacoubian for his pro career.

Peter “Sugarfoot” is a kickboxing legend. He is a 7-time undefeated world champion and was the first inductee into the ISKA Hall of Fame. Ricardo O’Kane is a former champion who now trains Muay Thai and MMA fighters such as Jared Papazian (UFC). Yacoubian is a former IKKC USA Champion and has fought under the K-1 banner as well.

Shawn Yacoubian out of WCK Muay Thai bout with Joe Davidson due to staph infection

What was set to be a great fight between Shawn Yacoubian and Joe Davidson at WCK Muay Thai at Buffalo Bills on August 28th will have to wait.

Unfortunately Shawn Yacoubian has been forced to pull out of the fight because of a severe case of staph infection that had him hospitalized for a week and in home health care for another week. In addition to the staph infection, Yacoubian is now having kidney issues due the two weeks of continuous IV treatment.

Yacoubian is clearly not happy with the fact that he had to pull out of the fight.
