Cette Samedi, Mai 19 LIVE on SHOWTIME Sports® Chaîne Youtube & SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook Page

 

NEW YORK (Mai 15, 2018) – Featherweight world champion Lee Selby and undefeated contender Josh Warrington took questions from the media at Tuesday’s final press conference days ahead of their clash for the IBF Featherweight World Title this Saturday, Mai 19. The main event bout from Elland Road Football Ground in Leeds, England will stream live to U.S. audiences via Chaîne YouTube de SHOWTIME Sports et SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook Page. (See links and embed codes below).

 

 

 

The SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL® livestream will begin at 5:00 p.m. ET/2:00 p.m. PT with coverage provided by BT Sport and BoxNation and featuring commentary by U.K. sportscasters John Rawling (coup par coup) and former featherweight world champion Barry Jones (une analyse).

 

 

 

Selby (26-1, 9 KOs), of Cardiff, Wales has held the IBF Featherweight Title since 2015 when he wrested it from Evgeny Gradovich with an eighth-round TKO. He has since made four successful defenses, the latest being a unanimous decision over Eduardo Ramirez last December.

 

 

 

Warrington (26-0, 6 KOs), who will be fighting in his hometown of Leeds, won the British Featherweight Title in just his twelfth outing in 2012 and the Commonwealth Championship in 2013. He defeated Dennis Ceylan via stoppage in the 10th round in his last outing to earn his shot at the IBF title.

 

 

 

Following Carl Frampton’s victoire sur Nonito Donaire mois dernier, this will be the second of four high-stakes featherweights’ fights on SHOWTIME® platforms featuring seven of the consensus top-10 ranked featherweights, including three world champions and four former multi-division champions. Also on Saturday night, WBC Champion du Monde Gary Russell Jr. défendra sa ceinture contre Joseph Diaz live on SHOWTIME and on June 9, Leo Santa Cruz et Abner Mares will meet live on SHOWTIME in a highly anticipated rematch for the WBA Featherweight World Title.

Below is what Selby, Warrington and their respective trainers had to say at today’s press conference:

Lee Selby

“I’m the world champion and a world champion should be ready and willing to defend his title anywhere in the world. It’s only five hours up the road from where I live so it’s not so much of a lion’s den to me.

 

 

 

“This is just another defense for me. It’s another fight. I treat every opponent the same. I don’t train for a certain style or a certain opponent. I prepare to get myself right and whatever happens that night, I know I’ve done the best I can to make myself ready.

 

 

 

“Some experts say that his style is going to give me a problem but other experts say his style is tailormade for me. That’s the great thing about boxing. It’s an opinionated sport.

 

 

 

“I’m no Muhammad Ali, I can’t predict the round I’m going to win in, but I just see myself winning. Si je ne l'ai pas, then I shouldn’t be here. If you’re a professional boxer and you don’t have the determination to become a world champion, then you shouldn’t be in the game.

 

 

 

“Having Carl Frampton in attendance won’t be a distraction at all. But if I come out on top on Saturday, he is who I want next. I would want to go straight into that fight in Belfast.

 

 

 

“I’m not going to instigate an argument like he’s been doing. I’m a humble guy. He was running his mouth in the first press conference. Maybe the guys in Leeds want you to win, but the rest of the country is hoping that I win. People dislike you.”

Josh Warrington

“I’m very relaxed. We had a bit of fun at the last press conference and the interviews. I feel like I don’t need to say anything else. The past few months, I’ve put my body through hell. I give absolutely everything I have every time I go into the gym. je donne 100 pour cent. After all the talk about me and Lee potentially fighting, it came down to this camp and I gave it everything.

 

 

 

“I talk a lot about destiny. Il ya quelques années, we had the chance to fight for a world title and it didn’t come off for me, and now I have an opportunity again. With how things have gone, anything could have happened in those couple of years. Lee could have moved weight or gotten beat but it’s come around how I always dreamed it and planned it. I always wanted to fight for a world title at Elland Road and it’s here.

 

 

 

“I’ve dreamt about this so many times, Je suis juste prêt à aller. There’s no more need for talking. Le samedi soir, I get to punch him in the face. This is beyond dreams, especially since I’ve been written off. I’m just carried on going and the fans have stuck behind me. They’re very loyal and we do this together. After Saturday night I’ll be known as Leeds’ first world champion.

 

 

 

“I’m able to adapt to any style. I’m known as a come-forward pressure fighter but I’ve always been able to adapt and do what I have to do to win. I’m willing to go so far. I just want this so bad. For everything I’ve been through, it all leads up to this fight. I’m going to give every ounce of energy in my body to win that world title.

 

 

 

“Carry on with your pictures and everything else with that belt this week, because it’s staying here pal. Once it comes here, that world title is staying.”

 

Tony Borg, Lee Selby’s Trainer

“Training has been first class. He’s put everything into it, he doesn’t mess around outside of the gym. His life is all boxing. Training has gone perfectly as it always does. I think a lot is being put on how he’s going to deal with this hostile crowd – he’s going to thrive on it, croyez-moi.

 

 

 

“I’m not just confident, Je suis 101 percent certain that Lee Selby will go out there and thrive on the hostilities. Josh is very good fighter, but Lee’s an elite fighter. He’s a level above Josh, I believe.”

Sean O’Hagan, Josh Warrington’s Trainer

“Every trainer will tell you that they’ve had the best camp ever. What I will say is that you prepare for the fight in front of you. We’re preparing for Lee specifically. This camp has been so relaxed, it’s flowed so well. There’s been no flaws. We’re all very relaxed.

 

 

 

“We’ve done a little bit extra sparring because Lee has a style that requires it. Let’s not forget, he’s a very good fighter. Our preparation has been so good. We’ve had really good sparring and have covered every aspect of training. We’ve done more. We’ve thought about it more. We’ve gone deeper into things. I can count on one hand the amount of times he’s been hit clean in all of the rounds we’ve done of sparring.”

Adonis Stevenson Training Camp Quotes & Photos

I’m the best fighter in this division, période.” – Stevenson
Light Heavyweight World Champion Stevenson Takes on
Two-Division Champion Badou Jack Saturday, Mai 19 en direct sur Showtime® from Air Canada Centre in Toronto
Cliquez ICI for Photos from Sugar Hill Steward

TORONTO (Mai 15, 2018) – WBC Light Heavyweight Champion du monde Adonis “Superman” Stevenson is set to make his ninth, and perhaps most difficult, world title defense when he faces two-division world champion Badou Jack Samedi, Mai 19 live on SHOWTIME from Air Canada Centre in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions. As fight week events in Toronto near, Stevenson shared some thoughts on his training camp and Saturday’s showdown.

 

 

 

Badou is a two-time world champion for a reason,” Ledit Stevenson. “Je ne le sous-estimer. I know he’s durable and that he has attributes like good head movement and I’ll have to be ready for everything.

 

 

 

Although many consider this Stevenson’s toughest defense in at least a few years, the champion’s mindset is unchanged from any of his other world title fights.

 

 

 

Every fight is a big fight for me,” Ledit Stevenson. “This fight is nothing different. Badou Jack is a good fighter and people think very highly of him. But in my mind, he’s just the next guy that I have to beat.

 

 

 

With knockout victories in seven of his nine world title fights, Stevenson has become known for exceptional power, especially in his left hand. This serves as a strategy for the champion and is something he trains for under the guidance of his trainer Javan “Sucre” Colline.

 

 

 

I’m always going for the knockout,” Ledit Stevenson. “I’m still ready for 12 tours, but I want the stoppage every time. I’m hungry for knockouts. If Badou comes in aggressive, this could end very quickly.

 

 

 

You have to step into the ring with me to understand my power. If I connect right just one time, c'est tout, couvre-feu. We train specifically for knockouts. You’ll have to wait and see how I do it on May 19.

 

 

 

As the longest-reigning champion at 175-pounds, and the second longest-reigning champion in boxing, Stevenson has established his case as the best fighter in the division, something he looks to continue to prove on May 19.

 

 

 

I’m the king at light heavyweight,” Ledit Stevenson. “I beat the king to become the king. I know that I’ve accomplished some great things and me and my team plan to continue to do everything we can to stay on top.

 

 

 

I’m the best fighter in this division, période. When I win on May 19, I’ll just be doing my job. People might still talk trash, but I’ll still be the champ.

 

 

 

Stevenson vs. Jack is part of a split-site SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®telecast beginning at 10 p.m. ET/PT with featherweight champion Gary Russell, Jr. defending his title against mandatory title challenger Joseph Diaz from the MGM National Harbor in Maryland on Saturday, Mai 19.

Rivera (7-0, 6 KOs) s'est associé à son entraîneur, Tony blanc, et copropriétaire du gymnase du Hartford Boxing Center, Michael Tran, pour former Hartford Boxing Promotions et ramener la boxe de classe mondiale à Hartford.

 

 

Les riches racines de la boxe sur le marché de Hartford remontent à près d'un siècle, en tête d'affiche du Temple de la renommée internationale Willie “Est-ce que o’ le feu follet” Dynamisme et ChristopheBataille” Battalino.

Mes partenaires, Tony et Michel, prendre soin de la fin des affaires de Hartford Boxing Promotions. Je suis excité à l'idée de combattre June 16e et je m'attends à une belle participation.

Rivera a à l'origine obtenu son surnom parce que, Quand il était plus jeune, ses avant-bras étaient considérablement plus gros que ses biceps. Les combattants dans le gymnase ont taquiné Rivera en plaisantant à propos de ses avant-bras agrandis, l'appeler “Popeye,” et le surnom est resté. Maintenant, Rivera présente son personnage Popeye dans son intégralité, qui a ajouté de nombreuses femmes et enfants à sa base croissante de fans de boxe hardcore.

US fans saw a glimpse of my potential and I got a lot more to show. I look forward to fighting the best in the world and becoming a world champion in the near future.”

 

 

 

Salita says he’ll have his newest “one to watch” back in action quickly.

 

 

 

“Arnold is a ‘made for TV’ fighter and I’m looking forward to moving him quickly. He was able to dominate a world-class opponent with relative ease and that’s just the beginning for him. He’s going to be a real force in the super bantamweight division and we will have him back for the fans’ enjoyment very soon.”

TORONTO (Mai 14, 2018) – As two-division world champion Badou Jack “The Ripper” arrives in Canada for fight week in Toronto, he shared his thoughts on training camp and his matchup this Saturday, Mai 19 against WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion Adonis Stevenson live on SHOWTIME from Air Canada Centre in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

Jack conducted training camp at Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas with trainer Lou Del Valle and was able to have one of his smoothest and most effective camps of his career.

 

 

 

This is the first camp that I haven’t had any injuries or felt sick at all during,” a déclaré Jack. “This is definitely one of the best, sinon le meilleur, camp of my career. We’ve watched film, kept a strict diet and really focused this camp on gearing up toward fight night.

 

 

 

After a successful run as a 168-pound world champion, Jack moved up to light heavyweight last August and stopped 175-pound titlist Nathan Cleverly to become a two-division champion. Cependant, Jack had already told his promoter Floyd Mayweather that he had his eye on the longest-reigning light heavyweight champion and he would go on to relinquish his belt to seek this fight against Stevenson.

 

 

 

I asked for the Adonis Stevenson fight a long time ago and the Cleverly fight got me there,” a déclaré Jack. “We’ve been talking to Floyd a long time about this fight. He’s a man of his word and he always said that I was going to fight Stevenson. I’m grateful for what he’s done and now I just have to take advantage of the opportunity.

 

 

 

Jack is well aware of the challenges presented by Stevenson, who last let an opponent go the distance in 2015, but enters this fight supremely confident in his abilities to bring the title back home.

 

 

 

Adonis is definitely my toughest opponent on paper, but that doesn’t really mean he will be the toughest on fight night,” a déclaré Jack. “Adonis has always fought everyone put in front of him and I respect that. He’s definitely a good fighter, mais je suis un meilleur combattant.

 

 

 

Everyone knows about his power, but he has good skills and overall can do everything you need to in the ring. I am excited to fight him and beat him.

 

 

 

With the recent birth of his second child and launch of his new nutrition supplement brand “Ripper Nutrition” providing extra motivation but also possible distractions, Jack has been able to maintain a laser focus on May 19 and a matchup he callsthe biggest of my career.

 

 

 

Start to finish this camp has really gone smoothly and I feel sharp and ready for fight night,” a déclaré Jack. “Boxing is all about fighting the best. He’s one of the best, mais moi aussi. I’m ready to show everyone on May 19.

 

 

 

Stevenson vs. Jack is part of a split-site SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® telecast beginning at 10 p.m. ET/PT with featherweight champion Gary Russell, Jr. defending his title against mandatory title challenger Joseph Diaz from the MGM National Harbor in Maryland on Saturday, Mai 19.

MICHAEL DUTCHOVER REMAINS UNDEFEATED WITH A 3RD ROUND STOPPAGE OVER MIKE FOWLER

PHILADELPHIA, Penn. / ORANGE, Californie. (Mai 14, 2018) – Top junior lightweight prospect Michael Néerlandais Plus (9-0, 6 KOs) de Midland, Tex. continues to improve on his advanced skill set. He knocked out Mike Fowler (6-15, 2 KOs) au troisième tour (1:19) after landing consecutive body shots that sapped the air out of Fowler’s lungs.

 

 

 

The fight took place this past Friday night at the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, Californie.

 

 

 

Dutchover proved his talent early by connecting with body shots in the second round that floored the shorter Fowler. Pays-Bas Plus, 20, rarely got hit and displayed superior hand speed and excellent instincts.

 

 

 

I wanted to start fast and not have to go the full six rounds,” Ledit Dutchover, who was an outstanding cross country runner in high school. “I figured him out pretty quickly. He wasn’t covering up well and I took advantage.

 

 

 

Dutchover is trained and managed by Danny Zamora and promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing.
