ΛΟΝΔΊΝΟ (Απρίλιος 6, 2016) – IBF Featherweight World Champion Lee Selby and American challenger Eric Hunter participated in a final undercard press conference on Wednesday at Trinity House as they prepare to faceoff αυτό το Σάββατο at The O2 in London.
Highlight coverage of Selby vs. Hunter will air on αυτό το ΣάββατοSHOWTIME ΠΥΓΜΑΧΙΑΣ ΔΙΕΘΝΗ® τηλεοπτική εκπομπή, preceding the live presentation of the IBF Heavyweight World Championship between unbeaten American titlist Charles Martin and fellow unbeaten British Olympic Gold Medalist Anthony Joshua. Martin vs. Joshua air live on SHOWTIME® στο 5 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ/2 μ.μ. PT.
Selby (22-1, 8 KOs) vs. Κυνηγός (21-3, 11 KOs) is the second of five scheduled featherweight title bouts in 2016 (details below), a lineup showcasing many of the world’s best 126-pounders aiming to unifying one of boxing’s deepest divisions.
Here’s what Selby and Hunter had to say during fight week:
Lee Selby:
“I will put on a devastating and clinical performance. I am going to take the fight to him. You are going to see spiteful punches and hurtful shots, so Hunter better be ready.
“I will show why I am the IBF World Champion and show people what I can do. If he wants to stand and fight, we can fight. If he wants to box, we’ll box. I haven’t needed to show how tough I am yet and that I can grit it out, because I’ve out-boxed everyone I’ve faced. Ωστόσο, he wants it I don’t mind. If you see me sparring every day in the gym, I just want to have a tear-up.
“You don’t win fights like that – or at least, I’m instructed not to. I’m told to box all the time but when it comes down to it, I’d love to have a tear-up.
“I’ve never had the trash talking and at weigh-ins I’ve never had anyone in my face, but it won’t affect me at all. It doesn’t change my mindset one bit.
“I’ve had a little look at him, seen his style. Είναι ένας καλός μαχητής, he’s awkward, switch hits, has power, so it’s going to be a tough fight.
“Eric is my No. 1 challenger and he’s there for a reason. He’s going to give me a real test but that’s what I need.
“Fighting in front of British fans is the best atmosphere in boxing. It was a dream to go out to America to defend a World title, but it’s a dream to defend it on home soil in front of 20,000.
“There have been some great fighters calling me out. Carl Frampton was talking about me after his last fight, Josh Warrington has called me out a lot of times and Leo Santa Cruz has mentioned me, πάρα πολύ. There are plenty of options but I’ve got to come through this one.
“Warrington will never get to my level. He’s done everything asked of him and won all the titles I vacated, and it’s a fight that could be made straight away if he comes through his next fight and I come through mine. Warrington talks about me a lot, and it’s a fight I would definitely be interested in and if we both win our next fights. Maybe it will happen, and it would be a big fight.”
ERIC HUNTER:
“Selby is a runner, we know he’s a runner, he boxes and runs away. He hasn’t really fought anyone yet. He beat Evgeny Gradovich, who has not really been the same since he fought Billy Dib. He just walked forward with his hands up.
“I was rated by the IBF for the longest time. I was rated higher than Lee Selby when he fought Fernando Montiel and when he got Gradovich.
“Not to be smart or cocky, but I’d never seen him fight. I never heard of him until the Gradovich fight. And with that fight, I think Gradovich was winning but Selby got the hometown decision. He boxed well. He runs pretty well too.
“I can adjust. Μπορώ να πολεμήσω. Μπορώ κουτί. I got better footwork. I can bang. I can do a few things that he probably can’t.
“I’m excited about fighting in front of all these people. It gives me the chance to show off my skills. They are going to see a new IBF champion.
“I don’t need to win a war of words, I’m going to show what I can do on the night. I love the London fans, I’m looking forward to coming over there and showing them what I can do.”

ΝΕΑ ΥΟΡΚΗ (Απρίλιος 6, 2016) - Αθλητισμός SHOWTIME® presents its latest installment of a year-long salute commemorating 30 years of SHOWTIME ΠΡΩΤΑΘΛΗΜΑ ΠΥΓΜΑΧΙΑΣ® with “Fights of the Year” in April on SHO EXTREME®.

ΚΑΙ/PT on SHO EXTREME and are available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND®, SHOWTIME ANYTIME® and via the network’s online streaming service. Each fight will be wrapped with brief context and commentary from SHOWTIME Sports ring announcer and International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee Jimmy Lennon Jr.
Below is the schedule of SHOWTIME EXTREME premieres for the month of April:
- Πέμπτη, Απρίλιος 7: Jorge Castro vs. John David Jackson I
- Πέμπτη, Απρίλιος 14: Lucas Matthysse vs. John Molina Jr.
- Πέμπτη, Απρίλιος 21: Diego Corrales vs. Jose Luis Castillo I
- Πέμπτη, Απρίλιος 28: Paulie Ayala vs. Johnny Tapia I
Castro-Jackson I (Δεκέμβριος. 10, 1994, Castro KO 9) –Castro, thoroughly battered, bloodied and losing by a wide margin, rallies from the absolute brink of defeat to score three knockdowns in the ninth round to overcome Jackson in one of the most dramatic turnarounds ever.
Ayala-Tapia I (Ιούνιος 26, 1999, Ayala W 12) – In some of the fiercest two-way action in the history of Las Vegas boxing, southpaw Ayala hands Tapia his first professional loss in 49 fights and captures the WBA bantamweight title by the scores of 115-114 και 116-113 δυο φορές. Game On: As the boxers were being announced, Tapia walked across the ring and shoved Ayala causing a momentary skirmish.
Diego Corrales-Jose Luis Castillo I (Μάιος 7, 2005, Corrales TKO 10) — After nine intense, back-and-forth rounds, Corrales accomplishes the unthinkable, miraculously regrouping from δυο knockdowns in the 10ου to stop Castillo in the same round (2:06) and etch his spot in boxing lore. After managing to beat the count (and lose a point for excessive spitting out of the mouthpiece), Corrales got Castillo on the ropes and connected with a huge right hand. He continued to unload and Castillo got nailed with a bundle of vicious punches. Στιγμές αργότερα, the ref stopped it.
Lucas Matthysse-John Molina Jr. (Απρίλιος 26, 2014, Matthysse KO 11) — Abloody slugfest, in which both fighters were knocked down multiple times,became an instant classic. Matthysse who went down in the second and fifth rounds, came back with a late-fight onslaught to wear down and drop Molina in the eighth, 10ου και 11ου γύρους. The tremendous brawl was as brutal as it was exciting and more compelling to witness than anyone could have imagined.

‘RAMPAGE’ JACKSON TO MAIN EVENT ‘BELLATOR: DYNAMITE 2’ IN ST. LOUIS ON JUNE 24 AGAINST OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST SATOSHI ISHII
Σάντα Μόνικα, Καλιφόρνια. (Απρίλιος 6, 2016) – For the first time since 2014, Quinton "Rampage" Τζάκσον (36-11) will return to action for Bellator MMA when he faces Satoshi Ishii (14-5-1) στο κύριο γεγονός της "Bellator: Dynamite 2” τον Ιούνιο 24, at Scottrade Center in St. Louis.
While “Rampage” has competed at 205-pounds for a vast majority of his nearly 17-year career, this main event contest against Ishii will take place at an agreed upon catchweight of 215 λίρες.
Εισιτήρια για το "Bellator: Dynamite 2,” τα οποία ξεκινούν από μόλις $30, πηγαίνουν στην πώληση αυτή Παρασκευή, Απρίλιος 8 στο 10 π.μ.. CT on Ticketmaster.com and the Ford Box Office at Scottrade Center, with a special Bellator Nation presale available from 10 π.μ.. CT να 10 μ.μ. CT on Thursday, Απρίλιος 7 για τους οπαδούς χρησιμοποιώντας τον κωδικό: “BELLATOR.” Doors for the event open at 5 μ.μ. CT τοπική ώρα, και ο πρώτος διαγωνισμός διεξάγεται μία ώρα μετά.
"Bellator: Dynamite 2” βγήκε στον αέρα ζωντανά και δωρεάν στο Spike 9 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ/8 μ.μ. CT, ενώ η προκαταρκτική περιόδους θα καταγράψει ζωντανή στο Bellator.com και Η Bellator Mobile App.
Exactly like the groundbreaking inaugural “Dynamite” event this past September in San Jose, both a mixed martial arts cage and kickboxing ring will cover the floor at Scottrade Center in St. Louis, giving fans in attendance the opportunity to see both iterations of combat sports on the same night.
A three-fight veteran of Bellator MMA, “Rampage” signed with the organization in 2013 and is riding a four-fight winning streak. His legendary career has seen him compete against some of the top names in the sport across multiple organizations including PRIDE and the UFC, generating a loyal army of fans along the way. Jackson is the proud owner of many epic highlight reel slams and knockouts that he’s racked up throughout his battles with guys like: Chuck Liddell, Νταν Χέντερσον |, Kevin Randleman, Ρικάρντο Αρόνα, Marvin Eastman, and perhaps most-notably his trilogy with fellow Bellator warrior Wanderlei Silva.
When he’s not beating people up in his MMA fights, Jackson’s larger than life personality has earned him multiple film roles, where he’s been able to beat people up on the big screen. Τώρα, the 37-year-old returns to action for the fourth time under the Bellator MMA banner, where he looks to improve upon his unblemished mark within the promotion. Με 19 of his fights taking place in Japan, the large contingent of Japanese MMA fans will have a hard time determining who to cheer for when “Rampage” takes on Ishii in June.
Ishii is a 29-year-old powerhouse Judoka who earned Gold at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing after defeating the best the world had to offer in the +100 kg διαίρεση. Now fully focused on mixed martial arts, the Japanese star has competed in his home country almost exclusively throughout his 20-fight professional career and will be making his stateside debut on June 24 against “Rampage.” With half of his victories coming before reaching the judges’ scorecards, it’s worth noting that three of Ishii’s defeats have come at the hands of some of greatest the sport has to offer, such as Mirko Cro Cop and Fedor Emelianenko. Πιο πρόσφατα, the judoka competed at light heavyweight for Rizin FF, during the promotion’s inaugural card on New Year’s Eve Weekend.

Eric Hunter in London, Ready to Take Selby’s IBF Featherweight Title This Saturday
Upcoming world title challenger Eric “The Outlaw’ Hunter is in London and feeling more motivated now than ever to take the title away from Welsh champion Lee Selby.
A proud Philadelphia fighter, Κυνηγός (21-3, 11 KOs) will face Selby (22-1, 8 KOs) in a 12-round battle this Σάββατο, Απρίλιος 9, for Selby’s IBF World Featherweight Championship at The O2 in London. The bout will serve as the featured fight before undefeated IBF Heavyweight World Champion Charles Martin defends his belt against fellow unbeaten Anthony Joshua. Extensive highlights of Hunter vs. Selby will be shown on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL®, prior to live coverage of Martin-Joshua (Ζουν σε Showtime® στο 5 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ/2 μ.μ. PT).
“I wasn’t invited to the open workout yesterday,” είπε ο Χάντερ. “They had an open workout for Selby and didn’t have one for me. I’m kind of irritated about that. It’s not even fair to the fans, ξέρετε? I’m sure that a lot of fans wanted to see who their man is fighting. I have no choice but to use it as fuel for even more motivation.”
The 29-year-old Hunter, in Europe for the first time, says he doesn’t mind travelling to win this championship. Όντως, despite being an underdog via the odds makers, Hunter says his victory won’t be an upset. “I won’t call it an upset when I win. I’m the better fighter. And it doesn’t bother me to come here. All the great ones had to do it. Θέλω να είναι μεγάλη, so I have to do this. As long as they don’t cheat me with the judges, I’m ok.”
Hunter says his victory will be the culmination of his lifelong dream. “It would mean everything. It would right my wrongs. All those who doubted me. All my failures and letdowns on the way here. It will turn all my negatives into positives.”

“The Dragon” to be unleashed April 16th Live on CBS Sports Network from DLVEC in Las Vegas
|
LAS VEGAS (Απρίλιος 5, 2016) – τον Απρίλιο 16ου10-round main event between Canadian welterweight Steve “The Dragon” Claggett and South Africa-native Chris “Η θερμότητα” Van Heerden embodies the “Knockout Night at the D” philosophy in terms of featuring action fighters in evenly matched, entertaining bouts.
Ο “Knockout Night at the D” σειρά, presented by το D Λας Βέγκας καιΚέντρο Λας Βέγκας Events Center(DLVEC), προωθείται από Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions.
το ΣΕΠΕ. 16ου “Knockout Night at the D” event will air Σάββατο νύχτα, Απρίλιος 16 (8 μ.μ. PT / 11 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ), ζουν σε CBS Sports Network from under the neon lights at the DLVEC outdoor venue.
The broadcast team includes Jim “JR” Ross, Sean Wheelock και ο πρώην παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Kevin “The Flushing Flash” Kelley. Joe Martinez is the ring announcer.
Claggett vs. Van Heerden is a crossroads fight for both boxers with critical consequences, especially for the winner who will use it as an invaluable springboard for his boxing career.
The 26-year-old Claggett (23-3-1, 16 KOs), who is the reigning Canadian Professional Boxing Council and Canadian welterweight champion, is thrilled to be fighting in Las Vegas for the first time. “Είναι ένα όνειρο που έγινε πραγματικότητα,” αυτός εξήγησε. “I’ve trained in Las Vegas often but now it’s time to show what I can do there in a fight. A win will open many doors for me and could potentially lead to a path that will set up the rest of my boxing life. Needless to say, I am focused and prepared for the opportunity.”
VIDEO PROMO LINK:
Claggett, as well as Van Heerden, are known as high-action fighters, throwing punches in bunches, and something eventually has to give. Van Heerden (23-1-1, 12 KOs), fighting out of Santa Monica (ΟΠΩΣ), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) και Διεθνής Ομοσπονδία Πυγμαχίας (IBF) welterweight πρωτοπόρος.
“Van Heerden is a rangy, quick and active fighter,” Claggett said. “I have an action style but, for many years, I was strictly a pressure fighter with a good body shot. Στην εποχή μας, αν και, I have a couple of more tricks up my sleeve. His heart and durability have been shown and is to be respected. This match-up is sure to produce some good exchanges. I expect this to be a high-action fight between two hungry fighters with him coming off a loss (to unbeaten rising star Errol Spence Jr. last September) and me coming off more than one fight falling through. This is a great match up. He is similar to the style of (Konstantin)Ponomarev (who Claggett lost an 8-round decision to last year) with range and movement. And that motivates me!”
