GERVONTA DAVIS



„Trening kamp je super. Ja sam bio trening sa svojom braćom i sestrom na undercard. U subotu navečer smo opet će ući u povijest. Tu nije naslov borba u više 20 godine, a ja sam uzbuđen da se u tom položaju za otvaranje vrata za druge i sebe.



„Ovo je moj prvi put borbe u Atlanti. Sam dolazak ovdje za više od četiri ili pet godina, a ja sam bio u nedostatku za borbu ovdje. Atlanta uvijek pokazuje mi da volim i uvijek sam mislio da mi je borbe ovdje će biti velika. Znao sam da sam veliki fan bazu ovdje.



„U subotu navečer ćemo imati veliku borbu. Hvala Gamboa za uzimanje priliku. U subotu navečer da će biti prepuna akcije borba, pa ćemo vidjeti tko je dobio ono što je potrebno.



„Prilično sam siguran Gamboa gledao moj zadnji borbu. On je samo rekao da nije biti drzak. Znam da je barem gledao da ide u ovu borbu. Vidjet ćemo u subotu navečer. On je bio malo drzak, pa moram ga napraviti plaću.



„Ne mogu reći da li ću dobiti nokaut, ali sam trenirao jako teško i sam bio usredotočen na glavni cilj, koja je dobiti pobjedu. Znam da Gamboa je tvrd protivnik, a on će ga položiti sve na kocku. Ako to ide 12 kola, to ne smeta mi. Tražim da se ovo veliko borba za mene i za fanove.



„Vjerujem da nisam prošlih devet rundi, a ja sam neporažena, tako da mislim da je to dobra stvar za mene. Radim to za tolike godine da vjerujem Gamboa ne mogu donijeti ništa u ring da nisam vidio.



„Znam da moram doći tamo fokusiran, jak i brz. Da vidimo što sve izlazi. Spreman sam i nadam se da je spreman dati navijačima ono što žele vidjeti.

YURIORKIS Gamboa



„Moj posao nije da obratite pozornost na bilo trash talk. Moj jedini fokus je da ide tamo u na 150% i dati mu moje sve. Ne zanima o bilo cvrkutanje izvan ringa.



„Povjerenje koje imam dolazi iz moje fokus i trud koji sam stavio u ovaj logor. Znam što moram učiniti prosinca 28. Sve od kampa je odvijao kako sam htjela vodi u borbu noći.



„Ja sam vrlo zahvalan da su ovu priliku da se bori za titulu prvaka u subotu navečer. Moram napraviti najbolje od ove pozicije da sam u. Ja sam još uvijek na razini na kojoj znam da mogu natjecati i pobijediti najbolje borce u sportu.



„Moj fokus i disciplina mi je dopustio da se u položaj da sam danas. Uvijek sam se oslanjao na to teško i to me nije uspio još.



„Gervonta kucaju svoje protivnike van i ne ide prošlosti devetom krugu je super za njega, ali ja ne mislim da ima ikakve veze s mojim životopis. Ja sam suočen jače borce od Gervonta i ja sam bio u mogućnosti da ih tuku. On neće donijeti ništa nisam vidio.



„Mi smo oduševljeni da je borba sletio u Atlanti, a mi vam možemo reći da su navijači će biti vrlo zadovoljni borbi vide subota. Došao sam ovdje pobijediti i ja sam definitivno spreman ići sve 12 kola ako moram.



„Ja sam imao veliku trening kamp, ​​a ja znam što sam u mogućnosti dati u subotu. Dajem moje sve, a zatim neke. Atlanta, budi spreman. Mi ćemo vam dati rat.”



JEAN PASCAL



„Ovo je moj prvi put u gradu Atlanti, a možda ću morati premjestiti ovdje, nakon mog pobjede u subotu navečer.



„Ja sam uzbuđen da bi mogli prikazati svoje talente na Showtime je u subotu navečer. Ja sam na vrhu svoje igre i moja cijela ekipa mi je pomogao doći do ovdje.



„Badou Jack je solidan borac s velikim obranu i dobar napad. Ja sam imao veliku kamp u Portoriku. Ja sam bio daleko od svoje obitelji za tri mjeseca i ja sam rat gotov. Uvjerite ugodite.



„Badou i ja sparred, ali to je bilo davno još u 2014. Sparing je sparing. Spremao sam se za Sergej Kovalev. To je bio dobar sjednica, ali u to vrijeme je bio na 168 funti. Ne oslanjaju se na tom sparingu jer je bilo tako davno.



„Znam da Badou je imao dugu otkaz, a on je svjež i da će biti još gladniji. Ja sam uvijek gladan i da će to velika borba u subotu navečer.



„Borim se na najvišoj razini za posljednji 11 godina. To znači nešto. Ja sam poseban borac. Imam stvari koje nitko ne može naučiti, što je brada i srce.”



BADOU JACK



„Imao sam veliku trening kamp, koji svi kažu, ali ja stvarno ne osjećam super. Ja sam 36 i osjećam se kao da sam 26 opet. Ja ne mogu čekati za subotu navečer čuti „i novi”.



„Mislim da moramo čekati do subote navečer mi dokazati da sam još uvijek imaju. Bio sam stan od Marcus Browne, bez obzira na rez, ali osjećam se puno bolje to vrijeme nego što je naslov u toj borbi.

„Gervonta je na mom undercard i sad sam na svoju i jako sam ponosna na njega. On je već zvijezda.

„Idem da se sve što se bore na vrijeme. Mislim Pascal mogu donijeti najbolje od mene u subotu navečer. Stilovi napraviti borbe i mislim da naši stilovi će mreže.



„Pascal i ja došao da se bori. Marcus Browne je ljevak, a on je više dvosmislen. Tako da je teško usporediti. Pascal je tvrd momak, a ja očekujem ništa manje od teškoj borbi.”



JOSE UZCATEGUI



„Zahvalan sam se vratiti u tom položaju i obećavam gužve neće biti razočarani. Ja ću biti oko za dugo vremena, a ja ću dobiti moj naslov svjetskog prvaka leđa.



„Ne govorimo mnogo, ali budući da on kaže imam samo vlast, vidjet ćemo u subotu. danas ne razgovaraju, a zatim pokrenuti oko prstena.

LIONELL THOMPSON

„Da bi svi koji mi je pomogao i me podržali, Obećajem da neće dopustiti da dečki dolje. Ja sam na planiranje daje svoje najbolje izvedbe u subotu navečer.



„Ja sam bio tamo s većim Punchers u teškoj svjetlo i jedini put sam bio zaustavljen je rano u svojoj karijeri. Ja sam batine dobre momke i neporaženi izgledi da bi mogao bušiti.



„Vjerujem da se kreće prema dolje na težini, i to upravo s nutricionistom, bit će bolje za mene. Svatko može povrijediti. Svi kažu da on može bušiti, ali svatko tko pogodi pravo može povrijediti.



„Ja sam fokusiran na što Perfect. Ne planiram donošenja bilo kakve pogreške. Znam što mogu učiniti. Svatko tko je dijelio prsten sa mnom će reći da sam jedan od najvještijih boraca vani. Floyd Mayweather je čak rekao.



„Znam Uzcategui je tvrd, ali nisam zabrinut jer sam donosi moj najbolji. Vjerujem da ću biti pobjednik. Ja ga poštujem i on je definitivno sila s kojom treba računati, ali ja samo vjerujem u sebe.”



LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO Mayweather Promocije

Mogu se sjetiti kad smo prvi put razgovarali o dovođenju ovu borbu u Atlantu, postoji samo jedno ime koje je sinonim za kuckanje u tržištu koje nije imala veliku borbu u 20 godina. Kada je u pitanju uzbuđenje, ime Gervonta Davis ide ruku pod ruku.

„Od vrha do dna to je vrlo zabavno kartice. Gledajući glavni događaj, kada pogledate Gamboa, znaš što on donosi na stol. Mi ne kupuju ništa o njemu kao stariji borac. On je fenomenalan pedigre i on je vidio sve što je u tom prstenu. To je vrlo opasna borba za Gervonta i to je ono što želimo. Želimo samo najbolje za Gervonta.



„Mislim da je Gamboa se događa da izvedeš najbolje u‘tenk’u subotu navečer. Mi ćemo vam dati zabavan karticu od vrha do dna, sa glavnog događaja koji će završiti u nokaut „.

U suradnji-glavni događaj, s Badou Jack i Jean Pascal, Ja ću staviti svoje životopise protiv bilo borac u sportu. Oni su se borili teška borba, nakon teške borbe i oni su i dalje bori na ovoj pozornici. Uzcategui je jedan od najtežih Punchers u sportu, i Lionell Thompson je u potrazi za njegov udarac.

Florida, USA based Duran Jr, whose record stood at 3-1-0 prior to his UK trip, joined stars from Professional boxing such as WIBA World Champion and WBC Muay Thai World Champion Denise CastleBritish and WBO European Champion Bradley Skeete, WBF International & European Champion Tommy Jacobs and former WBC International Champion Herol Graham and also from Football such as Harry Redknapp and Peter Peter Odemwingie in their support of the Kiyan Prince Foundation (KPF).

Duran Jr. had to be on top form as Santana pulled out all the stops to try and prevent the Floridian securing his maiden UK victory, Duran Jr. though had bought his ‘A game’ and was more than happy to go to war with the tough Nicaraguan and after four scintillating all action rounds it was Duran Jr that Referee Adrian Thorne deemed victorious by a 40-37 Točke marža.

Earlier today Duran Jr said.

“I want to start of by saying that I am very grateful for attending and being part of such a special event, The Kiyan Prince Foundation’s ‘Jabbing Not Stabbing’ that took place last Saturday in London this past Saturday in remembrance of young Kiyan Prince.

“Thank you so much Dr Mark Prince and Mr Gianluca Di Caro for adding me as the headliner of the evening of the fights. Such a special night to showcase my skill and to steer the young youth away from street violence and creating a way out through boxing.

“Much love and appreciation to Dr Prince and Mr Di Caro for the opportunity, I love London and the people returned the love.

“Hope to be back soon and see all my new friends and fans once more. Thank you London!"

About The Kiyan Prince Foundation:

The Kiyan Prince Foundation was established in 2008 in memory of Kiyan Prince, Dr Prince’s fifteen-year-old son and a talented footballer who was stabbed in the heart, whilst trying to break up a fight, outside his school gates. This devastating tragedy marked the beginning of a journey which has not only transformed Dr Prince’s life but also equipped him with the knowledge and skills to support families and help prevent similar cases. In this process, he has had to defeat two of life’s toughest challenges – anger and revenge, find the strength to forgive and the commitment to substitute anger with positive life skills.

About Kiyan Prince:

Kiyan Prince was the first son born to Mark Prince and Tracy Cumberbatch on 25th November 1990.

He was an outgoing and well-loved young man who got along with everybody. Teachers, fellow pupils, Queens Park Rangers football team… in fact anyone who came into contact with Kiyan counted it a privilege to have done so.

On May 18th 2006 Kiyan’s life came to a tragic, untimely and unnecessary end. The loving nature, by which he was known, was what made him step in and defend his friend who was being picked on by another youth.

The incident took place outside the gates of his school, the London Academy, located in Edgware North London. Kiyan attempted to resolve the situation in the most peaceable way by directly challenging the aggressor.

The ‘killer’, 16 year old Hannad Hasan, felt that Kiyan had disrespected him because he stood up to him. He then turned and callously killed Kiyan – plunging a knife straight into his chest. Kiyan died of a single, but fatal, stab wound to his heart.

Kiyan, who played for Queens Park Rangers Under-16’s football team. He was dubbed ‘The Bullet’ because of his speed and he was hailed as the next Wayne Rooney… tipped to play for England.

Kiyan was a beautiful, thoughtful, kind and considerate young man. . How he lived was reflected in the way he died… in probably the last words he ever spoke…

Even though he must have been very scared and in pain… in dying he still represented the life he lived. His heart was so full of love and empathy for others. In his final minutes his thoughts were, čak i onda, still of others. As he lay bleeding he told his friends: “if these are my last words… tell my Mum I love her.”

About Mark Prince:

Dr Mark Prince is CEO and Founder of the Kiyan Prince Foundation, a charity borne out of pain, suffering and grief. Through a series of personal challenges (homelessness, drugs and alcohol abuse and criminal activity); triumphs and tragedy, the then known Mark Prince, developed a burning desire to support young people embroiled in a downward spiral of urban violence. The devastating tragedy of his son’s murder in 2006 further confirmed the importance of early intervention in a young person’s life in order to prevent what often seems like an inevitable journey into despair.

Education and Sport:

A significant part of the foundation’s work is to target school aged children and young people from primary through to secondary and tertiary education, through mentoring, life skills and training programmes. Being a professional boxer achieving titles such as the IBF and WBO Inter-continental Light-heavy weight Championship by (1997) and fighting for a world title in 1998, Dr Prince has invaluable skills and experiences that help in the development and transformation of young people’s lives for good. His autobiography The Prince of Peace written by Dr Prince and Paul Zanon is already a best seller.

Collaboration:

The Kiyan Prince Foundation is a project that has seen Dr Prince collaborate with a range of notable individuals, organisations, mediji, government officials and celebrities to shine a light on the socio-economic issues impacting on young people and families nationally. He has been involved in the creation and the was the feature of the ITV documentary, “Put the Knives and Guns Down” screened on ITV London Tonight Special; panel member for The News of The World’s “Save Our Streets” campaign; keynote speaker at Metropolitan Police Operation Trident Program; and guest speaker at conferences such as, the NBCPA National Black Crown Prosecutors Association Annual Conference and the National Governor Prison Association Annual Conference.

Recognition and Vision:

In recognition of the significant contribution to the community and fight against knife crime, Dr Prince has received several well-deserved awards e.g. The Children’s Champion Award from Prime Minister Gordon Brown; an Honorary Doctorate Degree from Excel University; and recently in the Queen’s New Year Honours list (2019) to receive an OBE.

It is the foundation’s vision to obtain funding/raise the revenue to deliver#inspiringfuturechampions a campaign which involves delivering powerful messages to every school in London first, with inspirational speakers who are high level influencers amongst young people together with Dr Prince sharing with them how to utilise their strength of will, recognise their potential, individuality, purpose, how to value themselves, come back from adversity and the power of self-belief, which when understood all leads to young people steering clear of guns and knives which is a problem of the mind and not of the knife.

MUST SEE FIGHT-THEMED TV: LETTERKENNY (Made in Canada)

(Left to right: Wayne, “Darry,” Katie, a “SquirrelyDan enjoying some chit chat on the back deck in a very funny show calledLetterkenny”)

Po: Bogati Bergeron

If you ever want to laugh harder than you’ve ever laughed in your life, Letterkenny is the new, hip show for you. Elevation Pictures and Universal Studios have joined forces to bring you this quick-witted comedic gem that follows the residents of a small town North of the Canadian border called Letterkenny. The residents of Letterkenny belong to one of three groups: the Hicks, the Skids, and the Hockey Players, who are constantly feuding with each other over seemingly trivial matters that often end with someone getting their ass kicked.

Wayne, the toughest guy in Letterkenny, is our unsung hero. He waits a few episodes to display his fiercest skills in season 1 since he’s recovering from a breakup with his girlfriend (fodder for a future episode). When he does go toe to toe, the opponents he faces are coming for his unofficial title, and word travels fast. Between these raucous and exciting slugfests are the escapades of the rest of the crew and Wayne as they deal with small town obstacles like dirty politics at the agricultural hall and the kind ofkissinand tellin'you think you want to hear until you really don’t.

Darryl, Squirrely Dan, Katie and Stuart are the main characters in support of Wayne. Katie is a typical teenage girl getting frisky with the boys, making her brother Wayne always feel the need to tell her to put more clothes on. Squirrely Dan has a distinctwaysof speaking topeoplesin the show that makes for some funny moments every epsidoe. Darryl goes byDarryand is the most inquisitive of whole bunch, always asking the right questions and having to get things explained that the audience would like to hear explained, previše. One of the highlights of the first season isthe softest birthday party everthat the gang attempts to put on for Darry. Stuart is the local meth addict who can’t seem tofigure it outas far as how to straighten up and fly right.

The shenanigans and fast and furious banter of the show make it worth watching some scenes over and over again. It is a unique, “full tilt like a Peterbiltcomedy that pushes the envelope and hits the nail on the head when it comes to some stereotypical boondocks teenager behavior. The only critique it gets from me is it takes a bit of time to pick up on what all the colloquialisms really mean if you’re not from Canada. Watch enough episodes, iako, and you’ll be speaking like a Letterkenny native and bringing their lingo to the USA. Dobro, as Wayne and the crew often say, “Pitter patter, let’s get at ‘er.Here’s some more info from the peoples in charge on how to watch and purchase DVDs and such:

The series was picked up in the United States by Hulu for its 7th season as a Hulu Original series, with the other seasons also being available exclusively on the streaming platform. It’s a goofy Canadian hangout comedy that combines the eccentricities ofSchitt’s Creekwith wry and wacky wordplay.

Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from Toyota Arena:

TONY HARRISON

I’m hungrier now because of the layoff since the first fight. It hasn’t affected my mindset for one moment. Sparring has been intense for me. That’s where I got the rust off. I was pushed every day with guys trying to knock me out, just like he’s going to try to do.

Nothing about me is fake. Everything I say, ja to radim. It comes from my heart. The beef between us is real when it comes to my eyes. I don’t like anything about him. The tables turned after what he did right after the first fight. I’m a humble beast and he woke me up.

I trained in Florida because I needed to be hungry again. I made the changes for me. I was out a year and I had to get mentally correct. He woke me up. I didn’t need to be in Detroit, they know I’m the champ. Now I’m ready to beat you again on Saturday.

I had three judges who said I won, so I don’t think I have to change anything in my game plan. Sretan sam. I don’t care about what him and his team is telling him. I don’t have to do anything different.

He had 12 rounds and never rocked me, never stumbled me. He gave me everything he has. The same Jermell that you have seen in every fight is the same you’ll see Saturday.

We’re here once again and once again I’m going to exactly what I have to do. This is what needs to be done to him. I love everything about this. I love everything about the talking, the back and forth, and all the noise.

Jermell knocked out Jorge Cota, so he’s back on top right? I’m going to humble him again, to je moj posao. I’m going to ease him of his pain. He acts like he’s the strongest guy in the world, but he’s up against an animal.

I just have to be myself and win again. He can’t handle someone who’s himself. I’m rattling him every five seconds. I just have to throw the 1-2 off of that and we’re good.

JERMELL Charlo

He talks a lot but he has to see me Saturday night. You’re going to get the same thing I gave to Jorge Cota. He just gave me more time getting out of the fight in June. I’m much stronger, much better and much faster now.

I’m a fighter who lives and learns. I know how to progress. It’s okay for me, because I understand how to go down and come back up. When I come back, I come back way harder. They made the true champ come out of me.

They know he’s not on my level. They know what I possess and what I do. Him not liking me has nothing to do with what I’m going to do Saturday.

Nothing he’s said has gotten under my skin. It’s unbelievable to think that you could get inside another man’s head who gets in the ring and puts it all on the line for this.

He will get what he deserves. I’m a man of my word and everyone knows what I do. I’m ‘Mr. Keep Running Your Mouth.’ To je ono što ja radim.

I want to knock him out and I’m going to knock him out. I’m going to set up the right shots. I’m going to set up what he’s not going to see. I’m going to show you how to take the belt.

All I know is that I’m ready to fight. He’s all hype. The only thing fake about him is that injury he put up to get out of the rematch, but we’re here now so its whatever. I’m going to crush him.

EFE AJAGBA

I know he has experience and he’s lost to a few good fighters. I’m going to stick to my game plan and I look forward to showing it to everyone on Saturday night

I have to test him with my jab and see how he reacts. He has movement and has good experience. I’m going to let him get tired and find my spots. Ja ne mogu čekati da se tamo.

We worked really hard in training camp and I know that I’m getting better every day. This is a good test for me and a good opponent who will make me use what we’ve worked on in training.

Iago KILADZE

I know that’s he’s a strong young fighter, but he doesn’t have experience like me. I have more fights and more tough fights. I think that he’s going to try to come forward, but I’ve worked really hard to stop him.

I’ve worked on my power and I will show it on Saturday night. I believe in myself and I’m going to show everything I’ve worked on in training camp.

We’re going to take what we’ve been working on in training and bring it into the fight. We know what he’s uncomfortable with and we’re going to take advantage of it.

KARLOS BALDERAS

I’m an Olympian for a reason. I’ve faced the best since I was 15. This is a great opportunity for me and I’m going to make the most of it. He knows what’s coming Saturday night.

I’ve been here before and I’m ready to make a splash. 2020 is my year to shine. I’m ready or the big names. I know what I’m here to do.

He’s a rugged fighter who comes forward and brings the fight. I’m too experienced for him though. Na kraju, my talent is going to speak for itself. We can say what we want up here, but my talent will speak for itself.

RENE TELLEZ GIRON

The only loss I had was a fight I believe I won, but you always learn from a fight. Balderas is a good fighter and I respect him, but he’s in for a war.

I’ve been in tough fights everywhere so I know what it will be like Saturday. He’s quick in the ring and I’ve watched video on him, but it’s nothing that I won’t be able to overcome.

I know what he can do and I know that I have everything I need to get this victory. I’m going to take advantage of this opportunity and I know that we’re going to steal the show Saturday.

I know Ergashev is a southpaw and a hard puncher with a big KO record, but I’ve been in this situation before. I have too much experience for him. Knowing that if I win this fight I could get a world title shot is all the motivation I need.”



The 24-year-old O’Quinn is rated No. 10 u svijetu od strane WBO-a. Ranked as the No.1 amateur bantamweight in the country compiling a record of 130-18 prije uključivanja profesionalni u 2015, O’Quinn boasts blazing-fast hands and an ability to throw effortless combinations.

They are going to see charisma, skills and explosiveness. I know I’m fighting a tough competitor. On ne dolazi na polaganje. I’m coming prepared for war. It’s going to be a great night for boxing in the super flyweight division. I’m putting all the champions on notice.”



Vasquez, from Reno, Nevada, is a former streaking prospect in the super flyweight division. After losing his third professional fight, the 5-foot Vasquez rattled off thirteen consecutive wins between 2012 a 2017 and was well on his way to making a name for himself in the division before a unanimous decision loss to once-beaten Ricardo Sandoval in May 2018 halted his momentum. After a year-and-a-half layoff, Vasquez returned by fighting Gilberto Mendoza to a majority draw in October. Na 32 godina star, the hungry Vasquez finds himself in a do-or-die fight against O’Quinn.



“Training in Reno is going amazing,” said Vasquez. “It’s such a tremendous opportunity for my life. I’m trying to get to a high ranking and it’s a dream come true. I know O’Quinn is undefeated. He’s a boxer who likes to grab a lot. He doesn’t like pressure. I’m hoping I will tire him out. I think he’ll eventually give in as the fight goes on if I put on a lot of pressure. In the later rounds, he won’t even want to come out of his corner.”

Klasa 2019



MARK BRELAND

Mark Breland: “I enjoy boxing, it’s a lot of fun. I’m glad to be here because I’ve seen a lot of fighters I grew up with in the amateurs. I enjoy boxing because it kept me off the streets. I wasn’t a street guy., My father would have beaten me up if I had gotten into trouble in the streets. Boxing kept me off the streets, kept me in the gym. I guess I was good at it. I had a fight with a bully when I was 14 and I beat him up. I went to the gym the same day and my coach asked me what happened. My knuckles were shredded with blood. I told him I had a fight in the street. He said you can’t fight in the street. Then I realized boxing and street fighting are two different things.

Shelly Finkel (his manager), when he came into my life, changed a lot of things. Things changed a lot. I focused more on boxing, focused on the Olympic Games, and won championships. Every tournament I went into, I pobijedio, but it was a lot of fun. I wanted to inspire youths. I hope I can inspire some amateurs coming up. To keep going, stay off the streets, and do something that can change your life in a good way., Eddie Futch for life!”



JOE FRAZIER

Marvis Frazier(Joe’s son, Zamislio): “It is so good today to speak about my father, what he meant to me, and Joe Frazier always said to me, ‘There’s no right way to do wrong, no wrong way to do right.’ On je rekao, if you don’t do right, you’re going to smell this, putting his left fist right to my nose. When it was time for me to do bad, it wasn’t me, wasn’t Marvis Frazier. Tako, danas, I’m still smelling it even if he’s not here.

I just love to talk boxing. As an amateur I was 46-1 and then when I turned pro, I beat the guy who had knocked me out. I love my father. He was a good guy and a champion. I know everybody know Muhammad Ali and I know everybody know ‘SmokinJoe Frazier.



AL MITCHELL

Al Mitchell:I got rid of anybody over 16 who didn’t want to go to school. I’ve been doing this the longest time and I want to thank the coaches. I had three or four who didn’t care about boxing, but they wanted their kids to get an education. Izzy Acosta is one. I got a perfect record at Marquette High, they’ve all graduated. I have four kids with master’s degrees, I’ve got 14 who have degrees, and four guys who are policemen and no way they should be policemen. Blagoslovljen sam.

Old coaches would tell one you’re only as good as your memories. It’s crazy with kids 14, 14, 15. I had a kid named Vernon Forrest, a four-time world champion., It’s not just about boxing. It’s getting an education and after ten years they have a good life. I want to thank you all for putting me in the Hall of Fame.




Michael Rodgers (Ray’s son): “Prvo, I want to apologize for my father for not being here. He hurt his back over the weekend working a boxing match, believe it or not, and he apologizes for not being here.

I want to thank USA Boxing and the Alumni Association for recognizing my father for this award. And when he heard about this, he said he didn’t do any of these things during the 72 years he’s been in the sport for awards. He just did what he did for the love this sport and he did what needed to be done.

USA BOXING ALUMNI ASSOCIATION



Mike McAtee, Executive Director, USA Boks (Zamislio): “On behalf of the Board of Directors, President Tyson Lee, I can only say thank you, hvala, and thank you. Večeras, is a culmination of work between our members, our alumni association, but I have to recognize a couple of people. This great event wouldn’t be done without Chris Cugliari, Al Valenti and Nicole Anderson, our Alumni Association Coordinator.

I have the honor of talking about boxing and obviously we have passion. When Marvis Frazier said this was a brotherhood, a sisterhood, and none of us, quite frankly, who’ve stepped in the ringI include myself in thatwe’re not right. Takes a special person to climb in the ropes. You all can give yourselves a hand for not being right.

USA Boxing is proud of our history, but more proud of our future, and I can tell you the young men and women battling at the elite levels, we started at 104 and that will be taken down to 13 by Sunday evening. Ali, što je još važnije, we’re going to be breeding the next generation of champions, because this is closing the chapter of 2020, but starting the chapter of 2024, and ultimately, when the Olympic Games comeback here in 2028. This is a special time.



Chris tofflemire, Executive Director, SAD Boks Alumni Association: “Three years ago a group of us sat around a table in Kansas City at the National Championships and this idea was hatched: John Brown, u Valenti, John Scully, Christy Halbert, Mike McAtee and a few others. Tako, it’s something I’m very proud of and an organization I’m proud to lead with the support of all of you.

A quick update of the Alumni Association, we’re at about 1200 members right now and this is our third year. We had events across the country the past year, honoring Micky Ward and Vinny Pazianza in the New England area. We gathered in Chicago. We honored Izzy Acosta at the Junior Olympics in Wisconsin, as well as Buster Douglas and coach Mike Stafford at the Ohio Legends celebration, and here we are today honoring our third Hall of Fame class. We’ve come a long way. Our theme in 2020 is two missions: Prvo, we want to take this down to the grassroots level, second is supporting our athletes and their families as they travel to the 2020 Olympic Games.



u Valenti, Special Projects Consultant for USA Boxing: “USA Boxing is the one fundamental difference that makes a difference in a young person’s life. The path to self-confidence, the path to self-respect, disciplina, pobjeda, and how to accept defeat all comes through amateur boxing.

“Večeras, the story will be told. Večeras, we will take you on a path, of amateur boxing in the United States that rivals no other nation. Gold medalists, silver medalists, treneri, dužnosnici, doctorsthey’re all here. It’s like Woodstock for boxing; everybody’s here!”



Al Bernstein, Master of Ceremonies: “I’m delighted to be back here for my third year at USA Boxing’s Alumni Association Hall of Fame. I hosted a lot of events, MC’d a lot of events, and this is the final event because it’s in the end of December. It’s definitely my favorite.

GERVONTA DAVIS & YURIORKIS GAMBOA LOOK TO REIGNITE LEGACY OF ATLANTA BOXING HISTORY STARTED BY ALL-TIME GREATS MUHAMMAD ALI & EVANDER HOLYFIELD

Davis And Gamboa Face Off For WBA Lightweight World Championship In Atlanta’s First World Title Fight In More Than 20 Years Next Saturday, Prosinac 28 Uživo na Showtime® From State Farm Arena

ATLANTA – Prosinac 18, 2019 – Kada Gervonta Davis a Yuriorkis Gamboaclash for the vacant WBA Lightweight World Championship on December 28 at the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta, they’ll be making history in a long-underserved boxing hotbed that has hosted monumental fights featuring Hall of Famers Muhammad Ali and Evander Holyfield.

Just to be mentioned with those Hall of Famers is amazing,” rekao je Davis. “Ja sam bez riječi. It’s not only big for me, it’s big for boxing in the city and all the other fighters that have the opportunity to fight on the card.

The Davis vs. Gamboa SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast features two world title bouts and will be the first world championship event in Atlanta in more than 20 godina. Jean Pascal will defend his WBA Light Heavyweight World Championship against former two-division champion Badou Jack in the co-feature of the Premier Boxing Champions event.

Prior to December 28, the last world title fight in Atlanta was unified heavyweight world champion Evander Holyfield’s IBF and WBA defenses against Vaughn Bean on September 19, 1998. SHOWTIME televised that bout live from the since-demolished Georgia Dome where 41,357 fans in attendance saw the Atlanta resident floor Bean in the 10th round en route to a unanimous decision victory.

Despite the strong turnout and festive atmosphere for Holyfield vs. Bean, the Hall of Famer Holyfield fought just four times in Atlanta in his 57 professional bouts spanning nearly three decades. The city did host Holyfield’s first title fight, a bout that is widely considered the best cruiserweight fight in history and one of the last great 15 round fights. Srpnja 12, 1986, Holyfield challenged WBA Cruiserweight Champion Dwight Muhammad Qawi in a back-and-forth bout that Holyfield won by split decision to capture his first world title.

While Holyfield vs. Qawi is considered the best fight in Atlanta boxing history, the most significant and biggest event in the city was Muhammad Ali’s comeback fight in 1970. Ali had been stripped of his heavyweight title and exiled from boxing after being controversially convicted of draft evasion in 1967. While his case was still under appeal in the U.S. Supreme Court, Ali received a license to fight in Georgia for his first bout in more than three-and-a-half years. Ali stopped Jerry Quarry in the third round on October 26, 1970 at City Auditorium in an event that would mark his triumphant return. Ali’s conviction was overturned the following year in June of 1971, just three months after theFight of the Centurywith Joe Frazier.

While Georgia has been home to a number of recent world champions, none have fought in Atlanta as titlists. The late two-division world champion Vernon Forrest was born in nearby Augusta and lived in Atlanta, however he never fought as a champion in the state’s capital. Slično, former two-division champion Paul Williams, also of Augusta, fought just once in Atlanta in 2001 before he became champion.

Davis, who is on-track to sell out his third consecutive venue of the year in three different cities, is hoping to make big time boxing in Atlanta a permanent fixture.

The spotlight will be on Atlanta,” rekao je Davis. “They haven’t had a big fight there in many years. So it’s a dream to bring big time boxing back just like I did in Baltimore. Atlanta welcomed me with open arms for so many years. I always knew I had a fan base and I always wanted to fight here. Now is the perfect time in my career for it to happen.

“Ja sam borac, but I’m also a fan. So I’m looking forward to it as much as everyone else. I’ll give it my all, I know Gamboa will give it his all. It’s going to be a great night on December 28.

Barrios has been active in his community since becoming a world champion. U listopadu, Barrios joined Shoe Palace and gave way shoes to thirty families at the Boys and Girls Club.

I think being a positive role model is important, so I’m going to join forces with everyone, to help make San Antonio a better place for our youth,” Barrios je nastavio. “Building a strong community is what’s important at the end of the day, and I’ll be here to help out.
