I aften (September 22), på SugarHouse Casino i Philadelphia, en ung kunde bliver ringet op “boksningens fremtid” af nogle vigtige personer vil have den hårdeste kamp i sin karriere.
I en af de vigtigste støttekampe i Hard Hitting Promotions’ (i samarbejde med Greg Cohen Promotions & Devin Haney Kampagner) “Fight Night at The Sugarhouse” begivenhed, WBC Youth World Lightweight Champion og toprangeret amatør, Devin “Drømmen” Haney (16-0, 11 KOS), skal møde Mexicos Enrique Tinoco (16-4-3, 12 KOS) i en otte-round udstillingsvindue. Stævnet toppes af Philadelphia-sværvægteren Joey “The Tank” Dawejko (17-4-4, 10 KOS) tager imod Detroits Demetrius Banks (9-1, 4 KOS) i en kamp på otte runder. Billetter er prissat hos Front row VIP: $150, VIP: $100, Ringside: $65 og General Admission: $45 og kan købes på www.hardhittingpromotions.com. Så avanceret i færdigheder i en ung alder var Haney, en Mayweather-familieforbindelse, at han blev professionel i Mexico kl 16 og, i en alder 18, er ubesejret i 16 slagsmål. Han trænes af den velrespekterede tidligere verdensmester Mike McCallum. Haney udmærker sig også ved at være den yngste promotor inden for boksning, da han også driver Devin Haney Promotions. Dette er den hårdeste kamp i din karriere; gjorde du noget anderledes i træningen? Jeg gjorde de samme ting, som jeg altid gør. Det er det, jeg har forberedt hele mit liv, så jeg er altid klar.” Fortæl mig om at arbejde med en helt igennem stor som Mike McCallum som din træner. Jeg har arbejdet med Mike i omkring tre kampe, og det går fantastisk. Jeg har lært mange ting af ham. Hvad synes du om din modstander, Enrique Tinoco? Jeg så ham kæmpe for et stykke tid siden. Så ham live. Han ser robust ud og lagde et pres på sin modstander. Han kommer for at kæmpe, men jeg ved helt sikkert hvad jeg skal gøre med ham. Jeg havde meget erfaring med amatørerne og har sparret mange gode professionelle. Jeg er klar til alt, hvad han har at bringe til stand. Hvordan føles det, når en som Floyd Mayweather kalder dig 'sportens fremtid?’ Det føles fantastisk. Jeg arbejdede hårdt for, at folk skulle anerkende mig i sporten og sammenligne mig med de bedste kæmpere inden for boksning lige nu. Floyd er som en mentor for mig. Det er begge Floyds. Jeg vil bare fortsætte med at træne hårdt og vise alle, at jeg virkelig er fremtiden for boksning. Jeg føler dog ikke noget pres for at præstere perfekt hver gang. Jeg tror ikke på pres. Det er alt sammen i hovedet. Jeg vil bare gå derind og vise mine evner frem. I aften, døre åbne på 6PM og den første kamp er 7PM. Sugarhouse kasinoet ligger på 1001 N Delaware Avenue i Philadelphia. |

NEW YORK – September 21, 2017 - SHOWTIME Sports® will close out a banner year of world-class boxing with back-to-back Saturdays featuring heavyweight world championship fights live on SHOWTIME. The network announced today coverage of unified heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua’s upcoming WBA and IBF world title defense against top-rated mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev on Lørdag, Oktober 28 bor på SHOWTIME from Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.
Den Oktober 28 SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will be the first of two heavyweight world title fights airing live on SHOWTIME on consecutive Saturdays, with WBC World Champion Deontay Wilder set to defend his title against undefeated contender Luis Ortiz on Lørdag, November 4. Both main event bouts will air live on SHOWTIME as the network concludes a robust 2017 boxing campaign that will have featured 22 world championship fights, 16 bouts matching fellow undefeated fighters, three world title unifications, three world title rematches and the emergence of three bright young stars (Errol Spence Jr., Gervonta Davis and David Benavidez) as they earned their first world titles.
With the addition of Joshua vs. Pulev, four of the consensus top-five heavyweights in the world will compete on SHOWTIME in consecutive weeks. Joshua vs. Pulev and Wilder vs. Ortiz will be the ninth and 10th heavyweight world championship bouts to air live on SHOWTIME in the last two years.
“There’s so much to be excited about in the sport of boxing, and it all comes to a fever pitch on consecutive Saturdays this fall on SHOWTIME,"Sagde Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President og General Manager for SHOWTIME Sports. “This has been a great year for boxing. More specifically, it has been a great year for SHOWTIME boxing. There’s no better way to end it than with two major heavyweight world championship events. We are proud to be in business with the two biggest punchers in the sport, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder, and the rest of the talented and hungry heavyweight challengers of today.”
Joshua, the undefeated British superstar (19-0, 19 KOS), exploded onto the world stage in April when he defeated heavyweight legend Wladimir Klitschko via a spectacular come-from-behind knockout. In the year’s leading Fight of the Year candidate, a bout that aired live on SHOWTIME, Joshua picked up the vacant WBA heavyweight title to go along with his IBF belt. Nu, Joshua returns to take on the top-ranked IBF challenger in Pulev (25-1, 13 KOS) ved 70,000 seat national stadium in Wales.
Joshua, 27, has remarkably knocked out all of his opponents since turning pro shortly after winning gold in the 2012 OL. The Watford, England native won his first title with a second-round KO of defending IBF Heavyweight Champion Charles Martin in April 2016, earning a heavyweight belt in the fewest number of fights in more than 20 år. He has since successfully defended the title three times – against Dominic Breazeale in June of 2016, Eric Molina in December and Klitschko in April.
Pulev, af Sofia, Bulgaria, will be making his second attempt at winning the IBF world championship, having lost to Klitschko in his first try in November 2014. Efter det, his lone loss, Pulev quickly rebounded and became a two-time European champion with a win over Dereck Chisora. He also holds wins over two former world title foes of Klitschko in Samuel Peter and Kevin Johnson.
Joshua vs. Pulev is promoted by Matchroom Sport. Fewer than 200 tickets remain on sale viawww.StubHub.co.uk priced at £300.

When you put us together in a ring, you will get one of the best heavyweight fights in a long time. I will unify the division. This I promise. This is the first step towards unifying. Any heavyweight that gets in my way is getting knocked out.”

I like to do all my talking in the ring and that’s what I plan to do. Jeg respekterer ham. I know he hits hard, but I hit hard too. Det kommer til at være en stor kamp. I can’t wait to get in the ring and shut him up in front of everybody at Barclays Center on SHOWTIME on November 4.”
