García’s blend of power and sublime boxing skills has made him one of the most popular boxers of the last decade and secured him as a box-office fixture at Barclays Center, where he holds the record for the largest crowd for a boxing event. He set the benchmark when 16,533 attended his welterweight title unification match against Keith Thurman on March 4, 2017 in a bout that aired in primetime on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS. The fight against Redkach will be Garcia’s eighth appearance at Barclays Center.
“Barclays Center fan-favorite Danny García is back in Brooklyn as he continues his quest for the top spot in the welterweight division,- каза Том Браун, Председател на TGB Промоции. “Danny has been in the biggest fights at Barclays Center and on January 25 there are sure to be fireworks when hard-hitting Ivan Redkach looks for a career-defining win. Redkach has upset the odds before and there’s no doubt he’ll leave it all in the ring with this opportunity to move closer to a world title fight. Combined with a former unified champion known for action fights in Jarrett Hurd, plus a rising star in Stephen Fulton, this card is loaded with intrigue from top to bottom.”
“Danny García and Jarrett Hurd are two of the biggest stars in the sport because they have consistently taken on the toughest challenges and they are always in all-action, вълнуващи битки,"Казва Стивън Еспиноза, президент Sports & Събитие Програмиране, Showtime Networks Inc. “On January 25, both men are fighting to maintain their place at the top of two of boxing’s deepest divisions in important, must-win fights. Add in two undefeated, promising contenders in the opener and we have the recipe for an explosive night of fights on SHOWTIME.”
“We’re thrilled to host our first boxing event of 2020 by welcoming Danny García back for his eighth fight at Barclays Center and have Jarrett Hurd return to the arena where he’s had some memorable victories,” said Keith Sheldon, EVP of Programming and Development for BSE Global. “Danny specifically has built an enthusiastic fan base in the borough, becoming one of the most popular fighters in our arena, and we can’t wait to see his supporters out in full force as he steps back into our ring against Ivan Redkach.”

The Fulton vs. Khegai bout is promoted in association with Salita Promotions.
García (35-2, 21 Нокаута) is the latest in a long line of great boxers from Philadelphia who have made their mark on the sport. His run through the super lightweight division and two-year reign as a unified champion is one of the most impressive in modern history as he defeated a string of champions, including Nate Campbell, Кендъл Холт, Ерик Моралес, Amir Khan, Zab Юда и Lucas Matthysse.
After dominating the super lightweight division, the 31-year-old García moved up to welterweight where he won the vacant WBC title with a unanimous decision over Robert Guerrero in 2016. He lost a split decision to Thurman in a unification match in 2017 and dropped a narrow unanimous decision to Shawn Porter for the WBC title in 2018. García and many pundits thought he won both those matches. В последния си двубой, García scored a spectacular knockout victory over Adrian Granados on April 20 to get back into position to regain the welterweight crown.
“I’m very excited to be headlining another SHOWTIME card and to go back to Barclays Center, my home away from home,” said García. “I can’t wait to step in the ring in Brooklyn and give fans the Danny García show. I watched a few of Redkach’s recent fights and he had a great knockout win over two-time champion Devon Alexander. Така, I know he’s a tough fighter and competitor who I expect to bring the best out of me, and he’s someone who deserves this opportunity. But January 25 is tax season, so I’m going to have to tax him and pay him with a reality check.”
REDK (23-4-1, 18 Нокаута) has his sights set on winning a welterweight title and will face the toughest challenge of his career when he steps in against Garcia. The 33-year-old Redkach, who was born in Shostka, Ukraine and now lives in Los Angeles, is accustomed to stern tests. He started boxing as an amateur in Ukraine where he had over 300 битки. When he turned professional he traveled to Mexico to train and develop the “Mexican Style’’ – a style that emphasis standing in the pocket and throwing hard shots to the body.
Things started out slowly for Redkach, but soon he began to hold his own in Mexico and prevailed, earning the nickname “El Terrible’’ from his training partners. Redkach won 14 на първата си 18 professional fights by stoppage and has won three in a row, including most recently knocking out former world champion Devon Alexander in June.
“I’m very motivated to take a massive step in my career and get closer to becoming world champion against a strong and accomplished fighter like Danny García,” said Redkach. “I have been to a lot of Danny’s fights and now I get the chance to test myself against him. I am training very hard so that I am the best that I have ever been on January 25. I’m going to shock the boxing world just like I did against Devon Alexander. I’ve never been this hungry before and I’m confident I will win this fight.”
The former WBA and IBF champion at 154-pounds, Хърд (23-1, 16 Нокаута) returns to action for the first time since losing his belts via decision against Julian Williams in one of 2019’s best fights. The 29-year-old from Accokeek, Maryland captured his first title by stopping current WBC titlist Tony Harrison in 2017 and then added the WBA belt by defeating Erislandy Lara in 2018’s consensus Fight of the Year. Hurd earned his title opportunity by going on a run of knocking off unbeaten fighters including Frank Galarza and Oscar Molina, and also owns a successful title defense against Austin Trout at Barclays Center in 2017.
“Just because I fell back, doesn’t mean I fell off,” said Hurd. “I’m back and excited to fight at Barclays Center for the third time. I’m bringing the storm back on January and I’m going to make a statement everyone is going to see. You’re not going to want to miss this fight and the best Jarrett Hurd anyone’s seen.”
Santana (25-7-1, 12 Нокаута) has taken on the toughest challenges at 154 и 147 pounds and has made his name with an all-action action style throughout a long career as a contender. The 33-year-old will look to bounce back from a close decision loss to Abel Ramos in March, in a fight where Santana dropped Ramos in the second round. Prior to the setback against Ramos, the Santa Barbara, California native was coming off of a victory over Olympic gold medalist Felix Diaz in April 2018. Santana has faced former champions Jermell Charlo and Sadam Ali while also owning a six-round draw against Julian Williams in 2011.
“This is a great opportunity for me against a fighter like Jarrett Hurd,” said Santana. “When you get an opportunity like this, it’s hard to turn it down. My job is to rise to the occasion and have the best moment of my career on fight night. Това е моят Super Bowl. When I last fought at 154-pounds, I was basically self-trained. Now I have my coach Joseph Janik training me and I really think he’s the missing piece of the puzzle for me. I’m going to go in there and leave it all in the ring January 25.”
The 25-year-old Fulton (17-0, 8 Нокаута) has made a rapid rise through the super bantamweight ranks with superb boxing skills, befitting a slick fighter from Philadelphia. Lately Fulton has shown flashes of power that have caught his opponents off guard. In his last fight he stopped Isaac Avelar with a body shot to end their fight in the fifth round on August 24.
Fighting out of Odessa, Ukraine and training for this fight in Los Angeles, Khegai (16-0-1, 10 Нокаута) will make his third start in the U.S. януари 25, after a successful U.S. debut in in May 2018 when he defeated Adam Lopez on the prospect developmental seriesShoBox: Новото поколение. The 27-year-old has already been victorious twice in 2019, stopping Haidari Mchanjo in March and most recently winning a unanimous decision over Vladimir Tikhonov in August onShoBox.

Кой ще бъде истински цар гиганти? Уайлдър и Fury ще реши в 2020
Въпреки слуховете около него за години, професионалния бокс е все още жив, и тя все още е далеч пред ВМА оценявани от обществен интерес и наградния фонд. Една от причините за това са гиганти, особено Дионтей Уайлдър, Тайсън Фюри и малко по-малко Антъни Джошуа, които просто отмъстил единствената загуба на кариерата си. Още, няма съмнение че Уайлдър и пламъци са каймака, и тяхната борба в 2020 ще решава кой е кралят на най-популярната дивизия.
Няма да трябва да чакаме много за мечтата съвпада, тъй като договорът е подписан за 22 февруари, тъй като двубоят ще влезе Лас Вегас, вероятно в MGM grand, където Фюри направи своя впечатляващ американски дебют, унищожавайки Том Шварц през юни 2019. Уайлдър също обича мястото, откакто той стана шампион там, побеждавайки Берман Стиверн и той наскоро защитава титлата срещу Ортиз. Но това, което прави втория им двубой толкова вълнуващ RPG Sex Games, е че никой не е ясен фаворит.
Работата е, че Wilder и Fury са изключително различни бойци. Фюри е в най-добрата форма на кариерата си напоследък, и когато става въпрос за бокс умения, той е далеч пред Уайлдър. Както беше показано от първата им среща, Fury не е един трик пони, той знае как да се промени пестеше и атакува противника си с две ръце и по различни начини. Той може удар, но той далеч не е нетърпелив. Той е причината, поради която никой не вярва че мача си срещу американеца ще приключи в началото. Дори и на лошото си ден, ярост може да издържи почти всичко и знае как да се преобърне мача. Колкото до обърквам, той е съвсем различна история. Той започна много късно бокса, и по време на неговата кариера, той бе поставено под съмнение дори от експерти, които твърдят, че е претендент в най-доброто. Няма съмнение за това – Уайлдър е този с най-върховната власт. Дайте му шанс да се приземи особена мощност, и това е най-вероятно да го за през нощта. Дори само това е, което го накара да излезе от мача с Fury непобеден, люлеещ го два пъти. Но, Фюри е първият опонент, който успя да стане след такъв опустошителни изстрели, въпреки че това му отне победата.
Трудно е да се предвиди победителят, тъй като е много по-лесно да се направи отличен списък Android Sex Games. Това, което можем да прогнозираме, е, че този двубой няма да бъде завършен в ранни рундове, тъй като е малко вероятно Уайлдър да спечели, ако не пусне Фюри няколко пъти. Съдейки по това, Fury изглежда като ранен фаворит в този, но когато имаш силен удар като Уайлдър, почти е невъзможно да не му позволиш да кацне един единствен опустошителен удар 12 кръга. Ако сте неутрални и искате да видите добър двубой, това е, което не искате да пропуснете!
DAVIES ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES JAMES KIRKLAND CO-PROMOTIONAL DEAL WITH WARRIORS BOXING
NUTMEG POWER PREVAILS CONNECTICUT PROSPECTS RICHIE RIVERA & ANTHONY LAUREANO REMAIN UNDEFEATED
“NEW ENGLAND EXPLOSION” OFFICIAL RESULTS
SPRINGFIELD, Маса. (Декември 13, 2019) — Rising Connecticut starsRICHIE “POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN” RIVERA и“ACTION“ ANTHONY LAUREANO both remained undefeated with impressive performance tonight on a solid “New England Explosion” card in front of an enthusiastic crowd at MassMutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts.
“New England Explosion,” presented byJOE DEGUARDIA’S STAR BOXING, sponsored by MGM Springfield, aired live in a first for New England Sports Network (NESN), and streamed worldwide (excluding N.E.) наwww.FITE.TV.
Heavy-handed Rivera (сега 16-0, 12 Нокаута) took his power up to the cruiserweight division against “MIGHTY” JOE JONES(сега 11-2, 8 Нокаута), who unexplainably kept his hands very low, as “Popeye” pounded him to the head and body in the main event. Rivera hit Jones with everything but the kitchen sink, in what looked like batting practice at times, although “Popeye” failed to register a stoppage for only the third time in 16 pro fights. .
It was a rough, physical fight that got chippy early with both fighters exchanging trash talk and showboating. Rivera, who hails from Hartford, pressed the action throughout the fight against a defensive Jones, who switched to a peep-a-boo style in the later rounds.
“I’m strong to the finish because I eat my spinach….toot, toot! My coach kept telling me to relax but, честно, I was putting on a show. More or less, I was acting,” Rivera talked about the roughhousing. “He was tough. My team said to box. The plan wasn’t to go for a knockout. I threw some big shots just to let him know.
“I’m so happy to have had my seventh fight this year. I’ve been active and I’m undefeated. I try to put on a show for the fans and be a role model.”
В съвместно основното събитие, Laureano (сега 13-0, 4 Нокаута), а 2016 New England Golden Gloves champion from nearby East Hartford, CT., defeated Texas super lightweightANGEL “AZTEC WARRIOR” HERNANDEZ (17-14-2, 11 Нокаута) in a toe-to-toe battle from the opening . This TV-friendly fight could have been fought in a proverbial phone booth. Laureano, както обикновено, was relentless in his attack, systematically breaking down his opponent with strong body work of his own, as well as seemingly landing uppercuts and left hooks at will.
Laureano took control in the second and never let up against a game Hernandez, който, like Laureano, never stopped throwing punches. Eventually, Laureano won an 8-round unanimous decision in a wildly entertaining, highly competitive clash.
“It was beautiful,” Laureano commented. “I like wars, my trainers don’t. I let my emotions take over. It was a beautiful fight, въпреки че, all action and the people loved it. But I fought his fight. I did adapt and showed some of my boxing ability at some points.
“He’s experienced and came in confident. He kept coming; той е труден. This will build me into a better fighter. I did a lot of good things. The goal is to learn from every fight, Аз ще, and we’ll go back to the drawing board.”
Данбъри, CT super lightweightOMAR “THE BEAST” BORDOY (сега 10-1, 3 Нокаута) opened the NESN broadcast with a masterful display of boxing, winning all eight rounds on each of the three judges’ scorecards for an 8-round unanimous decision against late replacementDIEUMERCI ”ELEPHANT MAN” NZAU (сега 11-11, 8 Нокаута).
Bordoy effectively and consistently beat Nzau to the punch, moved well inside the ropes, and never put himself in dire straits. “It felt good,” Bordoy said after the fight. “The game plan was to out-box him, use my job, and not take any unnecessary chances. I followed the game plan and came out with an easy victory.
“I knew he had some power and he caught me with a good punch early. I watched some tape of him and listened to my trainers. I want to get back in the ring as soon as possible.”
In a battle of welterweight southpaws, родния град на любиматаDERRICK “BAD BOY” WHITLEY II (6-1-1) suffered a cut over his right eye from an accidental headbutt byJERMAINE CORLEY (3-8, 1 KO) during the second round. The ringside physician halted the action after two rounds and the fight, by rule, was a “no decision.”
При откриването пристъп на вечер, Hartford welterweight prospectJEFFREY TORRES(сега 6-0, 4 Нокаута) съхраняват непобеден си рекорд непокътнати, pitching a shutout for a 6-round unanimous decision over Brockton, MA journeymanANTONIO CHAVES FERNANDEZ(сега 9-40-4, 3 Нокаута). Torres out-boxed Fernandez, who was buzzed several times, от начало до край.
Бразилският полутежкатаLEANDRO “BUSCAPE” SILVA (2-3, 1 KO) ruined the homecoming for local fighterANGEL ‘ THE BLACK RICAN” VAZQUEZ (0-2) In the walk-out bout, Silva trapped Vazquez on the ropes in the fourth round. Vazquez suffered a standing eight count, but the referee halted the action, and awarded Silva a win by technical knockout.

сен. John McCain to be honored
клас на 2019 ceremonyтози петък в хотел Golden Nugget & Казино в Лейк Чарлз, Louisiana
Колорадо Спрингс, Скут. (Декември 11, 2019) -Senator John McCain will be posthumously presented a Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport this Friday night at a special ceremony during the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame reception at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Казино в Лейк Чарлз, Louisiana.
The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the ongoing 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing and 2019 National Championships at the Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Декември. 15, в хотел Golden Nugget & Казино. Излъчващ в Залата на славатаAl Bernstein от Showtime Sports ще служи като водещ на събитието за трета поредна година.
The USA Boxing Alumni Association’s third HOF class also includes three Olympic gold-medalists, „Големият“ Джордж Форман, Mark Brelandи„Пушене“ Джо Фрейзър, as well as legendary coachesAl Mitchell иРей Роджърс.
The late Sen. McCain boxed at the U.S. Военноморска академия, where the 5’ 7” lightweight competed three years as a fearless boxer who reportedly always came forward, never reversing gears. In his final year, he managed the battalion boxing team to a brigade championship.
“Our family believes our father would accept this award graciously as a very high honor,” daughterMegan McCain said on behalf of the McCain family. “The courage, character and action needed to step into the ring is something he felt very strongly about.
“He learned many life lessons through boxing, including the value of fitness, дисциплина, individual performance training and operating as part of a team. Boxers run up against opposition they have no idea how to attack or defend against, yet they figure it out and learn about themselves, as well as develop endurance during the process.”
“Senator McCain was a true ally to the sport, having personally understood the courage and risk-taking required from those who enter the ring,"ЗаявиChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. Throughout his career in politics, USA Boxing communicated with his office numerous times as part of a collaborative effort to safeguard the future of Olympic style, аматьорския бокс, and Senator McCain never hesitated to offer to do more for our athletes. For this and many other reasons, the USA Boxing Alumni Association looks forward to honoring his legacy this weekend.”
