Oosthuizen aims to prove himself on ShoBox
18.05.12
At the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, Oklahoma, taking on once-beaten Marcus Johnson.
“World boxing recognition comes from fighting in America, boxing is big in America,” Oosthuizen told RingTV.com. “[Americans] understand the sport best, according to my point of view. They know the art in the guy who lands the more clean punches in a fight.”
Johnson (21-1, 15 KOs), a 26-year-old from Houston, Texas, was once a highly-regarded prospect before losing to Dyah Davis last year. Oosthuizen isn’t overlooking him, but doesn’t feel his opponent matches up to him.
“He comes in there with a pretty good record but he hasn’t fought me yet. It’s not a good thing for him,” Oosthuizen said. “I’ve fought a lot of better quality opponents than he has. I’m not undermining him or taking him lightly. At the end of the day, come Friday night, I will win.”
DiBella, who promotes both Oosthuizen and Johnson, thinks this is the kind of fight ShoBox was designed for – a top prospect in tough against another prospect in his toughest fight to date, at least on paper.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are engaged
18.05.12
Cynthia Pett-Dante said that there isn't a wedding date "at this time." She also said that the engagement "is a promise for the future."
Earlier Friday, jeweler Robert Procop told the Hollywood Reporter he designed an engagement ring for the Oscar-winning actress.
"I can confirm that, yes, Robert Procop did indeed design an engagement ring for Angelina Jolie, designed in collaboration with Brad Pitt," a rep for Procop said.
"Brad had a specific vision for this ring, which he realized over a yearlong collaboration. He wanted every aspect of it to be perfect, so I was able to locate a diamond of the finest quality and cut it to an exact custom size and shape to suite Angelina's hand," the statement continued. "Brad was always heavily involved, overseeing every aspect of the creative design evolution. The side diamonds are specially cut to encircle her finger. Each diamond is of the highest gem quality."
Jolie was photographed with a ring on her engagement finger Wednesday night while attending a private viewing at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's Chinese Galleries, THR notes.
