LONDON (Aibreán 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 Dé Sathairn at The O2 in London.
Highlight coverage of Selby vs. Hunter will air on seo Dé SathairnShowtime Dornálaíocht INTERNATIONAL® telecast, 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® ag 5 p.m. AGUS/2 p.m. PT.
Selby (22-1, 8 Kos) vs. Hunter (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. Mar sin féin, 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. Tá sé ina Trodaire maith, 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, freisin. 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. Is féidir liom troid. Is féidir liom a bhosca. 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.”

‘RAMPAGE’ JACKSON TO MAIN EVENT ‘BELLATOR: DYNAMITE 2’ IN ST. LOUIS ON JUNE 24 AGAINST OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST SATOSHI ISHII
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (Aibreán 6, 2016) – For the first time since 2014, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (36-11) will return to action for Bellator MMA when he faces Satoshi Ishii (14-5-1) i gcás is mó de "Bellator: Dynamite 2” ar Meitheamh 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 punt.
Ticéid le haghaidh "Bellator: Dynamite 2,” a thosú ag díreach $30, dul ar díol seo Dé hAoine, Aibreán 8 ag 10 a.m. CT on Ticketmaster.com and the Ford Box Office at Scottrade Center, with a special Bellator Nation presale available from 10 a.m. CT go 10 p.m. CT on Thursday, Aibreán 7 do lucht leanúna ag baint úsáide as an gcód: “BELLATOR.” Doors for the event open at 5 p.m. CT am áitiúil, agus tógann sé an chéad chomórtas ar siúl uair an chloig tar éis an.
"Bellator: Dynamite 2” airs beo agus saor in aisce ar Spike ag 9 p.m. AGUS/8 p.m. CT, cé go mbeidh réamh babhtaí sruth beo ar Bellator.com agus An 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, Dan Henderson, Kevin Randleman, Ricardo Arona, 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. Anois, 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. Le 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 rannán kg. 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. An chuid is mó le déanaí, the judoka competed at light heavyweight for Rizin FF, during the promotion’s inaugural card on New Year’s Eve Weekend.

CHIDI NJOKUANI SET TO CHALLENGE DOUGLAS LIMA IN CO-MAIN EVENT OF ‘BELLATOR 156’
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (Aibreán 5, 2016) – A duo of Bellator MMA’s top welterweights, Chidi “Chidi Bang Bang” Njokuani (14-4) agus Douglas “The Phenom” Lima (26-6), will square off in the co-main event of "Bellator 156: Galvao vs. Dantas 2 " ar Meitheamh 17 taobh istigh Sábháil Mart Ionad i Fresno, Calif.
The fight joins a main card that features a rematch pitting Marcos "Loro" Galvao (17-6-1) aghaidh Eduardo "Dudu" Dantas (17-4), with Galvao’s Bellator MMA bantamweight title on the line.
"Bellator 156: Galvao vs. Dantas 2 " cheolta beo ar Spike ag 9 p.m. AGUS/8 p.m. CT, cé go mbeidh réamh babhtaí sruth beo ar Bellator.com agus An Bellator Mobile App. Beidh troideanna breise a fhógairt go luath.

“Chidi Bang Bang” has not lost in his past six fights dating back to March of 2013 and finished last year strong, recording a unanimous decision victory overRicky “The Sniper” Rainey in his Bellator MMA debut at "Bellator 146: Kato vs. Manhoef.” The 27-year-old Las Vegas native is now looking to solidify himself atop Bellator’s always-competitive welterweight division when he takes on “The Phenom” in the co-main event of "Bellator 156: Galvao vs. Dantas 2.”
Douglas Lima will be entering the cage for the 11ú am faoi mheirge Bellator MMA, having already won eight of his 10 bouts with the Viacom-owned organization. The former Bellator MMA welterweight titlist saw his impressive five-fight winning streak come to an end in July of 2015, when current champion Andrey Koreshkov edged out a unanimous decision victory over Lima to win the title. Roimh an defeat, “The Phenom’s” hot streak consisted of five consecutive knockouts, four of which came in the first two rounds. Lima will now begin the climb back up the ladder, with the ultimate goal being to regain the strap by year’s end.

Eric Hunter in London, Ready to Take Selby’s IBF Featherweight Title This Saturday
Upcoming world title challenger Eric “An 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, Hunter (21-3, 11 Kos) will face Selby (22-1, 8 Kos) in a 12-round battle this Dé Sathairn, Aibreán 9, for Selby’s IBF World Featherweight Championship at The O2 in London.

Extensive highlights of Hunter vs. Selby will be shown on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL®, prior to live coverage of Martin-Joshua (BEO ar Showtime® ag 5 p.m. AGUS/2 p.m. PT).
“I wasn’t invited to the open workout yesterday,” dúirt Hunter. “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, Tá a fhios agat? 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. Go deimhin, 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. Ba mhaith liom a bheith iontach, 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.”

LAS VEGAS (Aibreán 5, 2016) – Aibreán 16ú10-round main event between Canadian welterweight Steve “The Dragon” Claggett and South Africa-native Chris “An Teas” Van Heerden embodies the “Knockout Night at the D” philosophy in terms of featuring action fighters in evenly matched, entertaining bouts.

The broadcast team includes Jim “JR” Ross, Sean Wheelock agus iar curadh domhanda 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. “Tá sé seo bhrionglóid fíor,” he explained. “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 (SIN MAR), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) agus Cónaidhm Dornálaíochta Idirnáisiúnta (IBF) welterweight curadh.
“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. Lá atá inniu ann, cé, 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. Is speisialtóir Muay Téalainnis é a ghlac a chrios teidil meáchain welter M-1 Challenge Aibreán seo caite ag) 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!”
