Here is what Hunter had to say about his recent training camp and upcoming battle with Hawkins:



On his opponent…



This is my time to shine. Hawkins is a good fighter, he is talented, but he stands in my way. I am not just fighting for myself, but for my family. Wenn man sich meine Platte aussehen, I’ve fought some very tough guys. I know I’m battle ready to take my career to the next level. Hawkins is going down. I am going to make people respect the Hunter name once again



“I have nothing bad to say about Malik Hawkins. He is a hard-working fighter. I just feel that I am better. Das ist meine Zeit, and no one can take this opportunity away from me. The problem for Hawkins is, I have trained harder than ever to get the win. I am more focused than ever.”



On training camp…



“I wanted this camp to be very specific. I get good sparring at Bones Adams’ gym and a lot of top pros have come through there like Shakur Stevenson, Manny Pacquiao, und viele andere. I have watched how they trained, and I have used that same work ethic and principles for this camp with the supervision of my coaches.”



On his status as a contender…



“I’m now ranked 13 von der WBA, which makes me a contender. I must get past Hawkins, so believe me when I tell you I’m going to leave everything in the ring. I’m looking at this fight like it’s a world title. Losing is not an option.”



On making his SHOWTIME debut…



“I am excited to headline on ShoBox: Die neue Generation. It’s a platform that launches fighters’ careers, and SHOWTIME has a fantastic and professional production crew. One goal from the beginning was to showcase my talent on a big stage like this, now I’m here. This is a very big opportunity for me, I’m not going to let it slip away.”



Hunter is managed by Greg Hannley of Prince Ranch Boxing, advised by former two-time heavyweight world champion Hasim Rahman promoted by Greg Cohen, Founder and CEO of Greg Cohen Promotions.

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, Dezember 28 Live auf Showtime® From State Farm Arena

ATLANTA – Dezember 18, 2019 – Wann Gervonta Davis und 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,” sagte Davis. “Ich bin sprachlos. 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 Jahre. 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 Runde kämpft. Juli 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. Ähnlich, 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,” sagte 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.

“Ich bin ein Kämpfer, 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.

Tickets für die Veranstaltung, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, GTD Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on sale and available through Ticketmaster.com. Good tickets are still available. All tickets start at $54 und $104.

LIONELL THOMPSON



“I’m not worried about his power. I’ve been in there with big punchers my whole career. I’m just ready to perform. I’m not worried about what he can do. I’m just concentrating on what I can do. Everyone can punch in the pros. One punch from anyone can hurt you. I’m fully focused on being excellent on December 28.



“We’re working hard. It’s a new weight class for me and that’s motivating me even more to be my best. This win is going to do wonders for my life and career. I believe I’ll be victorious in Atlanta. Nicht blinzeln.



“All of my fights are important to me. Uzcategui is just another fighter. I don’t focus on what the perception of Uzcategui is. People say he’s a big puncher, but how do you know if he’s never hit you before? It’s someone’s job to pump their fighter up, but I’m only focused on what I can control.



“This is a huge opportunity for me and I’m definitely thankful to the Mayweather Promotions team for putting me in this position. When I saw that Uzcategui was looking for an opponent, I told (Mayweather Promotions CEO) Leonard Ellerbe that I wanted to fight him and he made it happen.



“I know it’s rare for someone at my age to go down in weight. I feel fresh for my age though. I’m making weight the right way and the healthy way. I think with my training camp and the challenge that Uzcategui presents, it will bring out the best of me on December 28.”

JACK BADOU



“Mentally I’m better than I’ve ever been. I’m hungrier and I feel like I did the first time I fought for the title. I’m always hungry, but I’m really excited for this fight.



“Sometimes losses make you better. My first loss was an accident, and I became better because of it. The loss to Marcus Browne, it wasn’t the fairest loss, but it’s made me even hungrier. I’m going to go out there and win the fight no matter what.



“People have written Pascal off a couple of times and he always came back. He’s a throwback fighter who definitely knows how to fight. He brings it every time. He’s got more mileage than me, but I can’t overlook a guy like him.



“I’m ready to do whatever it takes to win the fight. ich fühle 100% körperlich. The cut was cleared in March, and we’re way past that. I’ve been ready physically and this camp has proved that to me and my whole team.



“Pascal and I sparred before but it was a long time ago and sparring is way different than a real fight. I’ve fought bigger punchers, but you have to respect the power of anyone in the ring. Alles kann passieren. You can get caught by someone who’s not a puncher.



“I know that I have a lot left to give this sport. I feel like I’m young for my age. The break between fights and bouncing back from a loss have made me more motivated than ever. I’m ready to go in and give the best performance of my career.”



LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO von Mayweather Promotions



“Badou has a glow about him, just like the old Badou. He looks super-fast in the ring and everything is what we would want to see.



“Badou Jack has shown time and time again that he wants to fight the best and he’s not going to back down no matter what the challenge is. We’ve never had to think twice about it and one setback wasn’t going to stop him from having that mentality.



“Badou is a fighter who always uses his platform to make the world better for those less fortunate. He’s done wonderful things and is really so much more than a champion boxer. It’s an honor to work with him and always a pleasure to watch him perform.”

Beim Titelkampf im Mittelgewicht am vergangenen Wochenende zwischen Canelo Alvarez und Daniel Jacobs fand auch die jährliche Box Fan Expo statt, im Las Vegas Convention Center statt. Die erstaunlichen Erinnerungsstücke und die Live-Amateur-Box-Action ergänzten eine Reihe von früheren und gegenwärtigen Weltkämpfern, die für schnelle Meet & Greets zur Verfügung standen.

Als lebenslanger Boxfan, Es war eine Schande, dass ich nur etwas mehr als zwei Stunden für die Veranstaltung hatte, bevor ich zum Start der Undercard-Kämpfe zurück in die T-Mobile Arena ging. Die Zeit, die ich verbringen konnte, war sehr angenehm. Die Preise waren angemessen, um diese fistischen Legenden zu treffen und ein paar Momente Zeit zum Reden und Fotografieren zu haben. Der Durchschnitt $20 -$25 Der Preis für einen Fototermin war deutlich niedriger als der Preis, der im Casino bei einem einzigen Roulette-Spin verloren gegangen wäre.

James Toney war dort in einem Anzug, ein Beweis dafür, dass er Plaid sogar stilvoll aussehen lassen kann. Für einen Mann, der für seine mürrische Natur bekannt ist, Er war sehr zuvorkommend und erwähnte, dass er im Juni für eine Live-Show in Philadelphia sein wird 7 und hofft mich dort zu sehen.

Am nächsten Stand stand der Hall-of-Fame-Sender Al Berstein, Wen ich 2011 interviewen durfte. Als ich von meiner Bewunderung für seine noble Arbeit und seiner Fanatiker seit seinen Tagen mit Barry Tompkins bei ESPNs Thursday Night Fights erfuhr, Er war demütig und dankbar.

Die Linie, um Roy Jones Jr. zu treffen. war lang, aber das Warten hat sich gelohnt. Während die Zeit, um mit Roy zu sprechen, kurz war, Ich konnte erwähnen, was für eine Ehre es war, einen der größten Künstler meiner Generation zu treffen und wie ich nur ein paar Meter von ihm entfernt saß, als er am Creed II-Set war.

Während die Schlange, um den legendären Sugar Ray Leonard zu treffen, außergewöhnlich lang war, man konnte sehen, dass er sich wirklich amüsierte, Dieses Millionen-Dollar-Lächeln aufblitzen lassen und sein berühmtes Foto mit den Fäusten mit Fans machen. Unglücklicherweise, mit der Zeit knapp, Ich hatte keine Gelegenheit, einen meiner Lieblingskämpfer zu treffen, als ich aufwuchs. Ich hätte ihm gerne ein Foto gezeigt, als ich vier Jahre alt war, Ich schwang mich auf dem Boxsack von Sugar Ray Leonard weg, den ich bekommen hatte.

Ein paar Meter entfernt war einer der berühmtesten Rivalen von Sugar Ray, der große Thomas "Hitman" Hearns. Während der Hitman etwas langsamer geworden ist, als er gealtert ist, er erweist sich immer noch als imposante Figur, aber jetzt ersetzt er diesen furchterregenden Blick durch ein warmes Lächeln.

Ebenfalls zu Thomas Hearns kam der aktuelle IBF-Champion im Superfedergewicht, Tevin Farmer, ein Mit-Philadelphianer, wem ich die Gelegenheit hatte zu sehen, wie er von einem wächst 7-4-1 Gesellenboxer zu einem 29-4-1 Weltmeister.

Mein Besuch wäre nicht vollständig, ohne anzuhalten, um "The Pazmanian Devil" Vinny Paz zu sehen, Immer einer meiner Lieblings-Actionkämpfer und charismatischen Persönlichkeiten. Anstelle eines Händedrucks, Er begrüßte mich mit einer großen Umarmung und drückte seine Enttäuschung darüber aus, dass mein Vater nicht zu mir auf die Messe kam.

In dem kurzen Zeitrahmen, Es war unmöglich, alle großen Kämpfer dort zu treffen, einschließlich Michael Spinks, Riddick Bowe, Errol Spence, Anthony Dirrell, und Earnie Shavers. Es ist Cinco de Mayo Wochenende, Die Zeilen für einige der mexikanischen Legenden wickelten sich um den Boden des Kongresszentrums. Mikey Garcia, Marco Antonio Barerra, Erik Morales, und Juan Manuel Marquez erwiesen sich alle als außerordentlich beliebt. Aber nichts im Vergleich zu dem Dröhnen der pro-mexikanischen Menge, als der große Julio Cesar Chavez vorgestellt wurde.

Die Teilnahme an dieser Veranstaltung war ein wahr gewordener Traum und ich konnte mir nur wünschen, ich hätte mehr Zeit für die Veranstaltung. Alles war so professionell gemacht und die Anwesenden waren nicht zuvorkommend.

Ein großes Lob an Box Fan Expo für solch ein außergewöhnliches Ereignis.
