Pedraza af Cidra, Puerto Rico har en registrering af 22-1 med 12 knockouts. Siger Pedraza, “Jeg er meget glad for at underskrive med Victory Sports og ser frem til næste kapitel i min karriere. De repræsenterer et antal kommende krigere og arbejder også med elitekæmpere som Badou Jack, så jeg føler at Victory er det rigtige hold til at føre mig tilbage til et verdensmesterskab.” På 28 år gammel, Pedraza er en seks-årig professionel og en af de mest dekorerede amatører, der kommer ud af Puerto Rico. En olympier i 2008, Pedraza vandt også medaljer i adskillige internationale konkurrencer, herunder sølv i 2009 Verdensmesterskab for amatører i Milano og guld ved 2010 Centralamerikanske og Caribiske spil. Efter at pro i 2011, Pedraza vandt sin første 19 kæmper inden han erobrede IBF Junior Lightweight Championship i kun hans 20. kamp, fange bæltet med en enstemmig beslutning over Andrey Klimov i 12 omgang. Efter at have forsvaret sit bælte to gange, Pedraza mistede sit bælte tidligere i år i et oprørt over for Gervonta Davis, og ser nu på at komme tilbage. “Min mangel på aktivitet og kæmpede for at tage på i vægt på 130 kg påvirkede bestemt min præstation i min sidste kamp,” siger Pedraza, “men jeg arbejder hårdt og ser frem til snart at vende tilbage. Jeg tror, at letvægtsafdelingen er det sted, hvor jeg vil sætte mit præg og er spændt på at komme tilbage i ringen.” Præsident for Victory Sports Rick Torres føler, at Pedraza er klar til at afgive en erklæring i Lightweight, “Jose Pedraza er ikke den bedste fighter i Puerto Rico, og vi er meget stolte over at byde ham velkommen til Victory Sports-familien. Vi føler, at Jose kan være en styrke i letvægt. Der er en række attraktive kampe i divisionen, fra Jorge Linares til Mickey Garcia, som alle ville skabe store kampe for boksefans.” “Jose er en enorm fighter hvem, ved otteogtyve, er stadig i sin fysiske prime,” forklarede Victory Sports COO Mike Leanardi. “Vi søger at få ham tilbage i ringen så hurtigt som muligt. Derefter, efter en tune-up kamp eller to, der er ingen grund til, at Jose ikke vil være klar til at påtage sig de bedste i verden,” Leanardi fortsatte. Pedraza slutter sig til Victory's voksende stab af krigere, inklusive ubesejrede verdensrangere, Sonny Fredrickson og Tyler McCreary. Grundlagt af den kendte sportsadvokat Rick Torres og boksetræner Mike Leanardi, Victory Sports & Entertainment er et atletadministrationsselskab med kontorer i New York og Las Vegas. |

CARDIFF, WALES (Oktober. 28, 2017) – Undefeated and Unified Heavyweight World Champion Anthony Joshua stopped IBF mandatory challenger Carlos Takam in the 10th omgang på lørdag night at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, where the British sensation improved to 20 vinder, alle af knockout, and retained both his IBF and WBA world title belts.
Joshua vs. Takam was contested before a record 78,000 fans, the largest ever for an indoor boxing event and was the first of back-to-back heavyweight world title fights airing live on SHOWTIME. Næste Lørdag, November. 4, WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder headlines a three-fight telecast when he faces former world champion Bermane Stiverne at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.
Creative combinations and some inside fighting rarely seen from the rangy Joshua opened up a cut over Takam’s right eye and floored the challenger in the 4th. Senere, Joshua opened another gash over the left eye but a bloody and battered Takam continued to press forward. Takam was able to land some significant punches in the middle rounds but not enough to take Joshua off his game.
I 10th, after Joshua landed several big punches including a left-right combination that rocked the courageous challenger, referee Phil Edwards stepped in and stopped the fight at 1:34.
“I kept my composure,” said Joshua when asked about a head butt in the second round that may have broken the champion’s nose. “We will get my nose cracked back into place and then we can get back to training.”
When SKY Sports’ ringside reporter Andy Scott asked the beloved champion about a unification bout with fellow undefeated champion Wilder, Joshua said, “It has to happen. It has to happen for sure. When it comes down to it, the IBF, IBO and WBA have mandatory challengers. I can’t just fight any Joe Blow I want. I have to fight the obligations as champion and once I fulfill those, my door is open to fight anyone, be it Wilder or anyone else.
“Everyone saw how hard it took to get the belts,” he continued. “I am not giving them up for anyone.”
When asked about fighting overseas in America or elsewhere, Joshua replied to the delight of the U.K. fans, “As I said, it’s not my decision what happens outside the ring… but look at what boxing is doing. We are getting people coming in from all around the U.K. and from different countries. I think we should keep on boxing right here in the U.K.”

CARDIFF, WALES (Oktober. 27, 2017) – Unified Heavyweight World Champion Anthony Joshua tipped the scales at a career-high 254 pounds and IBF mandatory challenger Carlos Takam measured 235 ½ pounds for their heavyweight showdown i morgen på SHOWTIME.

Joshua, who went past the 10th round for the first time with a sensational knockout of Wladimir Klitschko on April 29, promised conditioning wasn’t an issue.
“I’ve been doing a lot more running. Maybe I’m starting to fill out as I get older and I’m starting to find my natural weight,” Joshua said. “Who knows what it is. I definitely feel a lot fitter than I have in previous fights.”
The referee for Lørdagens contest is Phil Edwards and the judges scoring ringside are Michael Alexander (England), Pawel Kardyni (Polen) and Ron McNair (New York).
If Joshua’s previous 19 bouts are any indication, the judges might not be necessary.
“I’m not going to say I’m going to knock him out and smash him up and all these types of things,” said Joshua, who has knocked out all of his professional opponents en route to unifying the heavyweight division. “But that’s what I have to do.”
