DEONTAY WILDER TRAINING CAMP QUOTES & KUVIA – WBC Heavyweight World Champion Wilder Shows Talents In & Out of The Ring Ahead of Highly Anticipated Rematch Against Cuban Slugger Luis Ortiz Saturday, Marraskuu 23 in FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View Main Event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas
Keskipainoinen tähti Chris Eubank Jr. & Top Contender Matt Korobov Square Off Saturday, Joulukuu 7 Live on SHOWTIME® from Barclays Center in Premier Boxing Champions Event for Interim WBA Middleweight Title
Undefeated WBC Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo Defends Against Highly-Ranked Contender Dennis Hogan in Main Event
BROOKLYN (Lokakuu 23, 2019) – Middleweight starChris Eubank Jr.ja kärkisijoillaMatt Korobovwill square off in the co-main event on Saturday, Joulukuu 7 elävät SHOWTIME Barclays Centre, BROOKLYN BOXING ™ -koti, in a Premier Boxing Champions event. Eubank and Korobov will meet for the Interim WBA Middleweight Title.
The middleweight division will take center stage on the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT) jonka otsikoi voittamaton WBC: n keskisarjan maailmanmestariJermall Charlo puolustaa titteliään korkealuokkaista haastajaa vastaanDennis Hogan.
Eubank is coming off a career-best win over British super middleweight rival James DeGale in February on SHOWTIME and will go down to the 160-pound class to take on Korobov, a southpaw who gave Charlo a tougher than expected test as a late replacement last December at Barclays Center.
Liput livetapahtuman, jota edistävät Vain lionit -kampanjat ja TGB-kampanjat, ovat nyt myynnissä ja ostettavissa osoitteestaticketmaster.com jabarclayscenter.com. Lippuja voi myös ostaa American Express -lipputulosta Barclays Centeristä. Ryhmä alennukset ovat saatavilla soittamalla 844-BKLYN-GP.
“Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Matt Korobov is a high stakes showdown that makes Saturday, Joulukuu 7 a tremendous night of championship middleweight action live on SHOWTIME at Barclays Center in Brooklyn,”Sanoi Tom Brown, Presidentti TGB Kampanjat. “Chris Eubank Jr. is already a star in the U.K. and is poised to make a big splash in his U.S. debyytti, while Matt Korobov is eager to build on his impressive performance in a loss to Jermall Charlo last year. Expect fireworks as Eubank and Korobov look to steal the show and walk away the title on December 7.”
This will be the first time that Eubank (28-2, 21 KOs) has fought in the U.S. ammattilaisena. Although he has competed at super middleweight, the 29-year-old from Brighton, Sussex in the United Kingdom will meet Korobov at his more natural weight of 160 pounds for the interim title. Since losing to George Groves in 2018, the son of British legend Chris Eubank Sr. has put together two victories, including the decisive unanimous decision over former super middleweight champion DeGale in his last fight in London.
“I’m ready to take the United States and the middleweight division by storm,” said Eubank. “I’m excited to come down to 160 pounds where I naturally belong, and I don’t see anybody being able to touch me at this weight class. America is where I learned how to fight as an amateur in Las Vegas and 13 years later I’m finally going to make my U.S. professional debut. I can’t wait to show the fans in the U.S. that I’m the best middleweight in the world.”
The 36-year-old Korobov (28-2-1, 14 KOs) is coming off a majority draw against Immanuwel Aleem in his last fight in May, after serving notice to the middleweight division that he would be a threat when he lost a hard-fought decision to Jermall Charlo in December. Syntynyt Orotukanissa, Russia and now living in St. Petersburg, Florida, Korobov oli myöhässä korvaava ja antoi Charlolle kovempaa taistelua kuin monet asiantuntijat odottivat. Korobov had been riding a four-fight win streak before the Charlo fight, having previously lost a middleweight title fight to Andy Lee in 2014.
“I am more motivated for this fight than any other so far in my career,” said Korobov. “Against Jermall Charlo, I didn’t get the decision. Minun mielestäni, I won that fight at Barclays Center. Tällä kertaa, I will leave no doubt against Eubank. This opportunity gives me a chance to right a wrong. Fans will see the best Matt Korobov on December 7.”

FOUR TITLE FIGHTS HEADLINE FINAL NEF CARD OF 2019 PORTLANDISSA
LEHDISTÖTIEDOTE: Portland, Maine (Lokakuu 23, 2019) - New England Fights (NEF) returns to Aura in Portland, Maine on November 9, 2019 sen seuraavan sekalaisen taistelulajitapahtuman kanssa, "NEF 41: Collision Course.” Tickets for the event are currently on sale atwww.AuraMaine.com. Aiemmin tänään, NEF announced the full fight card for the event – a total of 17 bouts scheduled for the evening.
Four amateur title fights will headline the card. It will be the first time since “NEF 9” in August 2013 that an amateur fight has been the main event of one of the promotion’s cards. (Of note, “NEF 9” was an all amateur event.)
“NEF 41” will also mark the first time a women’s bout has headlined one of the promotion’s events as undefeatedGlory “The Fury” Watson (6-0) ottaa itselleenCara Greenwell(9-4) to crown the inaugural NEF Amateur Women’s Strawweight Champion. Watson will have a chance to make history in the bout by becoming the first NEF athlete to simultaneously hold titles in two weight divisions. She is the reigning NEF Amateur Women’s Flyweight Champion.
“Killa” Kam Arnold (5-1) will defend the NEF Amateur Bantamweight strap against Walt Shea (3-1) in the evening’s co-main event. Arnold has held the title since June 2018 and most recently defended it at “NEF 38” last spring with a 21-second knockout of Henry Clark (5-5). It will be Shea’s second attempt at capturing the title after a losing effort at “NEF 30” in August 2017.
Zac “Rocky” Richard(4-2-1) kohtaavat“Magic” Mike Murray(2-0) for the vacant NEF Amateur Lightweight Title. Both athletes are coming off wins last month in Orono, Maine at “NEF 40.” Richard knocked his opponent out with a slam in the first round of his bout while Murray submitted his opponent – also in the first round.
Nate Boucher (5-3) jaSteve Desjardins(5-3) are scheduled to meet for the vacant NEF Amateur Flyweight Championship. Boucher is on a three-fight win streak, finishing all three opponents in the first round by submission. Desjardins returned with a first-round victory last month at “NEF 40” after an absence of several years from cage competition.
As of press time, NEF executives were searching for an opponent for NEF Amateur Welterweight ChampionDuncan “The Highlander” Smith(5-3). Valitettavasti, Smith’s original challenger, Jordan Norman, recently pulled out of the fight when he could not gain medical clearance.
Matt “Ken Doll” Denning(5-10) jaKeegan “The Flu” Hornstra (4-11) will square off in a professional catchweight contest. Both will be looking to rebound from recent losses. Denning was defeated on a card in Massachusetts last Saturday night, while Hornstra lost to Dominic Jones at “NEF 39” this past summer in Lewiston, Maine. The fight will take place at an agreed-to weight of 176 kiloa.

TWO MORE HIGH-OCTANE SHOWDOWNS ADDED TO WILDER VS. ORTIZ II FOX SPORTS PBC PAY-PER-VIEW SATURDAY, Marraskuu 23
Unbeaten Rising Star Brandon Figueroa Defends WBA Super Bantamweight Title Against Former Champion Julio Ceja
&
Undefeated Mexican Power-Puncher Luis Nery Takes on Puerto Rico’s Emmanuel Rodríguez in Battle of Former Bantamweight World Champions
Highly Anticipated Deontay Wilder vs. Luis Ortiz
WBC Heavyweight Championship Rematch Plus Leo Santa Cruz Seeks a Title in a Fourth Division Against Miguel Flores in Pay-Per-View Event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena
Las Vegasissa
LAS VEGAS(Lokakuu 22, 2019) – Voittamaton nouseva tähtiBrandon “The Heartbreaker” Figueroawill make the first defense of his WBA Super Bantamweight Titleagainst former championHeinäkuu Ceja while undefeated Mexican power-puncherLuis NerytaistelutEmmanuel Rodríguezin a matchup of former bantamweight champions on Saturday, Marraskuu 23 in FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View action live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
The pay-per-view event is headlined by boxing’s longest reigning heavyweight world championDeontay “Pronssi Bomber” Wilderdefending his WBC title in a rematch against once-beaten Cuban sluggerLuis “King Kong” Ortiz. Three-division champion“Maanjäristys” Santa Cruz will seek a title in another division in the co-main event when he takes onMiguel “El Michoacan” Kukkia for the WBA Super Featherweight Championship as part of the pay-per-view action beginning at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.
“With these two all-action matchups added, the November 23 card is shaping up to deliver another memorable night of excitement on FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View,” said Tom Brown, Presidentti TGB Kampanjat. “In addition to the Wilder vs. Ortiz rematch and the Santa Cruz vs. Flores title fight, one of the 122-pound division’s hottest young stars Brandon Figueroa will make his first title defense against a very tough opponent in former champion Julio Ceja. Rounding out the night is Mexican knockout artist Luis Nery and tough former champion Emmanuel Rodríguez, who will be sure to kick off the pay-per-view in style with another classic in the Mexico vs. Puerto Rico rivalry.”
Liput tapahtumaan, which is promoted by BombZquad Promotions, TGB Promotions and Mayweather Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased atwww.mgmgrand.com taiwww.axs.com.
The 22-year-old Figueroa (20-0, 15 KOs) will look to make the first defense of his super bantamweight championship in his fourth fight of 2019. He knocked out Moises Flores in January on FS1 and won an interim super bantamweight title in April on FOX by stopping Yonfrez Parejo. Representing Weslaco, Texas, Brandon, the younger brother of former world champion Omar, has a seven-fight knockout streak that he brings into the ring on November 23, having most recently stopped Javier Nicolas Chacon with an exciting fourth-round knockout in an FS1 main event in August. He was subsequently elevated to full champion by the WBA.
“This is probably going to be the biggest test of my career in the first defense of my title against a solid fighter like Ceja,” Said Figueroa. “To be fighting on pay-per-view of the Wilder-Ortiz II undercard at MGM Grand is a dream come true. I’ve been working towards this moment my whole life. I attended Pacquiao vs. Thurman in July and the crowd was electric that night. I told myself while watching that fight ringside that I couldn’t wait to fight at MGM on a similar card, and now look at where we are. Ceja might have lost against Rigondeaux, but he put on a great fight and I know he’s going to come forward and brawl with me on November 23.”
Fighting out of Tlalnepantla, Meksiko, Kulmakarva (32-4, 28 KOs) will look to rebound from a loss to Guillermo Rigondeaux on FOX in June, when he was stopped in round eight while leading on all three judges’ tuloskortit. The 26-year-old knocked out Hugo Ruiz in 2015 to win an interim title before eventually being elevated to the full champion. While he lost the rematch to Ruiz, Ceja put together wins in two of his next three fights heading into the Rigondeaux bout.
“This is a great opportunity and I plan to win the world title again on November 23,” said Ceja. “I know what it takes to win and I will have the best training of my career for this fight. I hope Brandon Figueroa is prepared for fireworks. This title is coming back to Mexico for my country, my pride and my people.”
Nery (30-0, 24 KOs) is a power puncher who has stopped his last 11 opponents and 15 hänen viimeisen 16. The 24-year-old southpaw from Tijuana, Mexico will be making his third appearance on a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View this year. He scored a dominant stoppage victory over McJoe Arroyo on the March event in Arlington, Texas and returned on the July 20 show to stop former champion Juan Carlos Payano. He scored a TKO victory over Shinsuke Yamanaka to win the bantamweight world title in 2018.
“I’m excited for another opportunity to perform on the biggest stage and show that I’m the best bantamweight in the world,” said Nery. “Rodríguez is a tough competitor and he will help bring out my best on November 23. Mexico and Puerto Rico have a storied rivalry in this sport and I intend to make my mark in history with a spectacular win.”
The 27-year-old Rodríguez (19-1, 12 KOs) will also look to put himself back in position to reclaim a 118-pound belt with a statement win on November 23. Fighting out of Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, Rodríguez won the IBF Bantamweight World Title with a unanimous decision victory over Paul Butler in 2018 and defended it successfully against then-unbeaten Jason Moloney. He most recently was stopped by unbeaten champion Naoya Inoue in their May title bout.
“Switching opponents is no problem for me since we always train for different fighting styles,” said Rodríguez, who had previously been scheduled to face former champion Rau’shee Warren before Warren withdrew due to injury. “My Puerto Rican and Mexican people want to see a great fight and that’s what they will have on November 23. I know what Nery brings to the table and I’m ready for that. We are confident in victory and that in 2020 I will be crowned world champion again.”

I believe that our cooperation will be a new chapter of my professional career.”
Zhang, a 6’6’’ 260 lb 2008 Olympic hopeamitalisti, has amassed an impressive undefeated record and is looking for big fights in the heavyweight division.
“Zhang Zhilei is the face of boxing in China.” Says Tommy Lane. “He has so many opportunities in front of him, we are thrilled about this partnership.”
Zhang is scheduled to fight the tough Sergey Kuzmin (15-1, 11 KOs) on November 30th at the Casino De Monte Carlo, Monte Carlo, Monaco November 30th. The bout will be streamed on DAZN.
