BROOKLYN (12월 23, 2018) – WBC Interim Middleweight ChampionJermall Charlo(28-0, 21 KOS 호텔) won a hard-fought unanimous decision over매트 코로 보프 (28-2, 13 KOS 호텔) to defend his title in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes Saturday night from Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™.
“I had fun in there with a tough opponent like that,” 사이드 Charlo. “I got the win and that’s the main thing. I still feel I’m the best in the world. I just need to prove it to the rest of the world.”
The southpaw Korobov had success early countering Charlo with straight left hands that landed cleanly, even if they didn’t deter Charlo from coming forward. Korobov was successful countering to the body as well and ended the fight with a 119 에 114 advantage in power punches landed according to CompuBox.
Charlo stayed consistent with his jab however through the early rounds and began to break through later as Korobov’s right eye appeared to close during the middle rounds. Charlo out-jabbed Korobov by a 56 에 9 advantage in jabs landed, and also threw nearly 200 more punches throughout the fight per CompuBox.
라운드에서 12 Charlo closed the show and nearly stopped Korobov, who used his experience to hold and move enough to survive the round. Charlo landed a clean left hook to the head early in the round that put Korobov on shaky legs, and he followed up with several strong punches that forced Korobov to try to survive.
“I used everything that happened tonight as motivation in the 12th round,” 사이드 Charlo. “I haven’t been that far in a fight in a couple of years. It felt good to be in there, get hit and bang with someone. He was an experienced guy who will make me better.”
행동의 12 라운드 후, Charlo won the unanimous decision by scores of 119-108 과 116-112, even after watching his twin brother lose a tough decision minutes prior to his fight starting. “I felt like Jermell made his fight harder than it was,” 사이드 Charlo. “I had a really tough opponent, but he wasn’t better than me. There was a lot on my mind in the ring.”
Korobov thought he had done enough to win the fight after he stepped in as a replacement opponent one week prior to fight night. “나는 싸움을 수상 생각,” 사이드 코로 보프. “It was definitely a fight that could have gone either way, but I believe the people know that I won. I’m the most avoided fighter in boxing and I showed why tonight. I hope this performance will get me another title fight.”
In a back-and-forth title showdown, 디트로이트의 토니 해리슨 (28-2, 21 KOS 호텔) pulled off the upset to win a narrow unanimous decision overJermell Charlo (31-1, 15 KOS 호텔) and capture the WBC Super Welterweight Championship.
“I dictated the pace,” 사이드 해리슨. “그것이 챔피언이하는 일입니다. He wound up for big shots and I kept my defense tight. All we worked on was defense. I kept my composure and I did what champions do.”
Charlo expressed his disagreement with the judges’ decision after the fight. “They took that fight from me,” 사이드 Charlo. “I was pressing the action. He didn’t win that fight.”
Harrison was effective with his jab as he attempted to keep the power-punching Charlo at bay. Harrison landed his biggest punch of the fight in round five when a straight left appeared to temporarily stun Charlo. Charlo was able to land several effective power punches throughout the 12 라운드, including an overhand right late in round five that wobbled Harrison.
Round nine saw both men land significant shots, which lead to an exchange where Charlo urged Harrison to keep coming forward. “I got back to my corner after every round and they told me to just keep doing what you’re doing,” 사이드 해리슨, “You’re dictating the pace they said. 그것이 챔피언이하는 일입니다. Champions don’t just try to knock people out. That’s all he wanted to do. I dictated it. 내 잽을 사용. I dictated the fight. That’s what champions do.”
Harrison was caught off balance in round 11 and again in round 12 by Charlo power punches, but was able to use his movement and hold at key times to survive both rounds. 후 12 rounds of action the judges preferred Harrison’s jab, movement and counters to the forward-charging power punches of Charlo. All three judges scored the fight for Harrison, 의 점수 116-112 과 115-113 두번. Per CompuBox, Harrison connected on 34 percent of his punches throughout the fight to Charlo’s 29 퍼센트 클립, while Charlo out landed Harrison 160 에 128, 더있다 108 에 71 파워 펀치의 장점은 도착.
싸움 후, Harrison indicated he would be willing to give Charlo a rematch while Charlo immediately stated his intention to get his belt back. “Jermell – you gave me a shot – I’ll give you a rematch,” 사이드 해리슨. “I’m going to get my belt back,” 사이드 Charlo. “I still want Jarrett Hurd. I know my brother knows I won that fight. I might have given away a few rounds, but I won that fight.”
텔레비전 방송의 오프닝 한판 승부에서, top heavyweight contender도미닉 “수고” BREAZEALE(20-1, 18 KOS 호텔) delivered a one-punch knockout victory over카를로스 네 그론 (20-2, 16 KOS 호텔) in the ninth-round of their heavyweight showdown. “I knew the big shot was coming, it was just a matter of time,” 사이드 Breazeale. “I was setting up that right hand all night. Since the third round I noticed he dropped his left hand when he took a step to the left, and that’s what I got him with.”
Breazeale started out slowly as Negron was able to score early with a lead left hook and an effective body attack. Breazeale stalked his opponent and threw power punches with some success before connecting on a huge right hand before the bell to end the fourth round. “It’s been a long stretch since I’ve been in the ring,” 사이드 Breazeale. “I definitely worked off some ring rust, worked some great combinations and body shots, and finally got the knockout.”
The 2012 과 미국의. Olympian Breazeale had more success through the middle rounds, controlling the action with his jab and pressure that negated Negron’s offense. Midway through the ninth round, Breazeale caught Negron in the corner and connected on an overhand right that sent Negron crashing into the ropes.
Referee Arthur Mercante stopped the bout 1:37 into the ninth round. BREAZEALE, who is the mandatory challenger for heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, had a message for the champion, who was seated ringside.
“I’m next in line for Deontay Wilder and I’m coming for him,” 사이드 Breazeale. “I’ve been waiting for him and I did what I had to do tonight. I’m ready for him now. “I know Wilder is here in the crowd. He came to watch. He knows I’m next. He better be holding on to that belt really tightly, because I’m coming. ‘Trouble’ is already here.”

잭 대. Browne
Serving as Co-Feature of Manny Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner Mega-Fight
라스 베이거스 (12월 20, 2018) – While two-division world
championBadou 잭 “리퍼”wears many hats as
an entrepreneur, philanthropist and father, it is his boxing career that has
allowed him to be on the path to greatness in and out of the ring. 따라서,
he will put his championship-caliber boxing skills on full display on Saturday,
1월 19 from MGM Grand Garden Arena live on SHOWTIME PPV®against
hungry light heavyweight Marcus Browne as the co-main event of the Manny
Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner welterweight championship fight.
Jack is no stranger the pay-per-view spotlight as one of the
brightest stars in the Mayweather Promotions stable and is preparing to make a
statement on January 19.
“내 경력의이 단계에서, I’m motivated to fight the best
in the division and prove I am the top light heavyweight in the world,”
잭 말했다. “I want the biggest fights on the biggest stages against the
best competition.”
Despite being deep in training camp for this major step in his
career, 잭, who was recently named a finalist for the Boxing Writers
Association of America’s Marvin Kohn Good Guy Award, has not forgotten his
mission outside of the ring – the work he is doing through the Badou Jack
Foundation – which focuses on giving children around the world a fighting
chance at life. He spent Thanksgiving serving food to those less fortunate at
the Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada’s food distribution center and plans
to continue to volunteer with them moving forward as well as continuing his
work in the Middle East immediately following his fight.
“Badou is receiving a well-deserved acknowledgement for his
acts of kindness,” 사이드 레오나르드 엘 러베, 메이 프로모션의 CEO.
“Not only does Badou put in hard work and maintain discipline for his
craft, he’s a family man who also looks to share the fruits of his success with
others. He remains humble and carries himself with poise as his career
advances. I know that good things will continue to come his way and I’m pleased
to have him on our team, he’s a promoter’s dream.”
While Jack has been in the ring with some very tough customers
including Nathan Cleverly, 제임스 DeGale에, George Groves and Anthony Dirrell, he
knows that Browne is coming to fight and try to derail his successful campaign
at light heavyweight. 따라서, in addition to the work he is putting in at
the gym, Jack has instituted a performance and weight management regimen
overseen by renowned nutritionists Lockhart and Leith, whose clients include
world-class MMA fighters from Conor McGregor to Cris Cyborg.
또한, Jack is utilizing his nutrition supplement products
Ripper Nutrition before and after each workout as Lockhart and Leith are now
official partners in the product, they believe in it so much. Jack has also
welcomed Lockhart and Leith chef James Lockwood into camp to prepare each meal
as part of this regimen.
“Thanks to the opportunities Floyd Mayweather, Mayweather
Promotions and SHOWTIME have provided Badou, he has been able to establish
Ripper Nutrition and the Badou Jack Foundation,” 사이드 메르 압달라,
Jack’s manager. “He looks great in camp, we expect a spectacular night in
the ring and then we will get back to building his empire outside
it.”

Here is what the fighters had to say Wednesday afternoon in
Brooklyn:
Charlo JERMALL
“Professional athletes have to be ready for anything. I’m
ready for whoever is in the ring against me and whatever he brings. We’ll see
who is at their best on Saturday night.
“This is a headlining card for the Charlo Twins and we’re
ready to put on a show for our family and our fans. 난 준비 됐어, I’m sure Korobov
is ready, so let’s get it on.
“I know that Korobov has been training because he was on the
undercard. I’m thankful he accepted the fight and I just hope he’s done
everything right to prepare for this fight. 제대로 하고 있어, and now we’re
going to fight.
“Brooklyn is one of my favorite places to fight. This is
familiar territory here. I’m going to prove once again that I’m one of the best
in the world.
“I don’t know Korobov but I know that every fight is
difficult. You never know what these fighters are doing. I’m a professional and
I continue to make it look easy.
“I have a weapon that no one has been able to figure out.
Once they do, I have a whole bunch of other weapons. I’m 28-years-old, I’m
having the time of my life beating these guys down. 조만간, I’m going
to get the megafights that everyone wants.”
매트 코로 보프
“It was a surprise to get the call for this fight. I was
sleeping and preparing for my second workout of the day. But I was training
hard already so I accepted right away.
“I’ve been preparing as hard as I can to make everything go
exactly how I want it to on Saturday. It’s short notice but we’ve made the
proper adjustments to the fight plan and we’ll be ready to make it happen in
the ring.
“I don’t pay any attention to outside noise or anyone who
doubts me. I’ve been preparing for this all of my life. This is my second
opportunity to become a champion and I’m going to make the most of it. I’m
going to show everything I’ve got.
“I have to be the best version of myself on Saturday night.
I’m going to take all of my amateur and pro experience and mix it up to make a
great performance.”
JERMELL Charlo
“지금은 정말 좋은 권리를 느낀다. Everything is on point and
where I need it to be. It’s fight week and it’s time to show out. I’m going to
show up and put on for Lions Only. There’s nothing more that I can ask for than
to be here to show everyone my abilities.
“I’m excited to show my skills again. This is big for me. I
have an opponent who has the mindset to come in and dethrone me. He wants to
stop the show, but it’s not over yet.
“I know that he needs to maintain his composure while trying
to win a fight. Tony Harrison is a tall, rangy fighter but it’s nothing I
haven’t seen before. He knows who he’s dealing with. My experience cannot be
overlooked.
“This training camp has been incredible. I’ve locked in with
my coach and I’ve worked hard so that I’m fresh and at my best. I can’t wait to
step into the ring on December 22.
“I hope Tony Harrison is at his best. There are certain
things that he does well and we just need to make adjustments when we get in
there. 그가 상자를 원하면, we can box but if he wants to bang, we can be the
aggressor.
“Brooklyn has become the new pinnacle of boxing for a lot of
fighters and especially for me specifically. I’m winning with knockouts here
and I’m excited to get in the ring at Barclays Center once again and do what I
have to do.”
토니 해리슨
“Camp was amazing. I don’t think it could have gone any
better. Based on all my other camps, I know that I’m absolutely ready for this
fight. Now it’s just the anxiousness of waiting.
“I’m working on staying very composed right now. This is
another day in the office for me. We’re just waiting to see how Saturday plays
out.
“This isn’t my first time fighting on the big stage at
Barclays Center so I won’t let the emotions overcome me. No matter who I’m
facing or what the platform is, I’ve been fighting my whole life. This is
second nature to me.
“I really had the time heading into this fight to have a camp
as great as I had. I’ve had the opportunity to get some amazing sparring in.
Everyone came in and really competed. It was tough work.
“I’m just going to come in and do my job. When I become
champion I’m going to get that same respect from everyone.”
도미 닉 BREAZEALE
“Whether it’s in sparring or in primetime, I’m always going
to bring it. This is a big platform on FOX so I have to show up. The lights are
on you and I can’t wait.
“I’m excited right now because I’m chasing Deontay Wilder. I
want that WBC title. I have this fight ahead of me, but I have to beat him to
get what I really want. I want to fight for the biggest prize in the sport.
“I stopped Eric Molina last year at Barclays Center to become
the WBC mandatory and I’m just trying to keep winning while I wait my turn.
“I’m a crowd-pleasing fighter. I keep the fans on the edge of
their seats. I can move for my size and I have knockout power. I’m looking for
the knockout shot every single time.”
CARLOS NEGRON
“We’re prepared for what Breazeale and anything he can bring
into the ring. He’s a tough opponent but I’ve trained too hard not to leave it
all in the ring.
“This has been a great training camp. I had tremendous
sparring that pushed me to another level. I’m excited to get out there and show
it all on fight night.
“This should be a great fight for fans. I’m planning on being
aggressive and bringing the fight to him. I hope he’s ready for it, because I
don’t want any excuses after the fight.”

Cincinnati’s Broner, one of boxing’s most popular and colorful personalities, is training under the tutelage of Kevin Cunningham in nearby West Palm Beach, Fla.
Here is what Broner and Cunningham had to say Tuesday:
ADRIEN BRONER
“This fight is real important. This is a hell of a fight not only for me but for the sport. This is a fight that needed to happen for the sport and we are going to put on a hell of a show.
“I always knew that one day I would be having fights like this. Honestly I thought he [Pacquiao] would be done with boxing by now but I always knew I would have a fight of this magnitude on this platform, pay-per-view and all and now I’m here.
“I knew what to expect. I knew he [Kevin] was going to be real strict and I just came prepared.Ready to put it all in and put it all on the line.”
On what he does in his down time:
“I try to rest as much as possible. I’m training so much and training real hard. This will be my second workout of the day and then after this I have another workout at 8:30 p.m. so that will be the third workout for the day so you know all my off time I try to eat properly, stay hydrated and stay focused.”
On how it feels to train
in a gym that hosted greats like Muhammad Ali:
“It’s lovely. I never knew this gym existed and this is my first time ever being here or ever hearing about this gym being legendary. Muhammad Ali paved the way for guys like me and Sugar Ray Leonard and everyone else so, it’s legendary.
“I always tell other fighters and other people it takes more to be a star than just boxing. I just have everything it takes to be a mega star.”
On Pacquiao’s last fight against Lucas Matthysse:
“I didn’t see it but I heard he looked good. I don’t know what to expect. I’m just training for the best Pacquiao. And I’m going to go out there and do what I have to do to get the victory.”
How do you feel training in South Florida?
“I’m not focused on the clubbing and stuff and all that stuff will be here after the fight. I’m 110 percent focused on this fight.”
What he will do after the Pacquiao Fight?
“Boxing you have to take it one fight at a time. My main focus is getting past Manny Pacquiao first and then we can talk about other things.”
On whether or not
Pacquiao has a weakness:
“It’s not a mystery. He has seven losses. It’s not a mystery that he can lose but anyone can lose on any given day. It’s whoever prepares the best and I’m preparing myself to do what I need to do. I don’t care about stopping him or whether it’s a unanimous decision, as long as I’m victorious.”
On whether or not this is the biggest fight of his career:
“This is definitely my biggest fight, biggest magnitude, biggest platform I’ve ever been on but you never know. I could probably go in there and make this look like the easiest fight of my career you just never know.”
KEVIN CUNNINGHAM
“I think he’shaving even a better camp than the last. He’s added a new strength and conditioning coach and everything is working out perfect and camp is going extremely well and smooth. AB’s looking fast and explosive. I have no complaints.
“Adrien’s got everything; he’s a real throwback fighter. He’s got speed, he’s got power, he’s got quickness, he’s got footwork. He can punch and he can bang and he can box.He’s got skills and he can be slick if he wants to be. So he’s the total package.
“We have an idea of the way the fight is going to go. We’ve studied tons of Pacquiao footage and he pretty much fights the same every fight. Manny’s a rhythm fighter so it’s all about getting in his rhythm. He pretty much does his thing. But outside of that I’ve never really seen him make too many adjustments. He’s pretty much the same guy.”

Tickets on Sale Now!
BROOKLYN (December 18, 2018) – Undefeated WBA Welterweight World Champion Keith “One Time” Thurman returns to the ring after a lengthy injury layoff to defend his title against veteran Josesito Lopez on Saturday, January 26 live in primetime in the main event o Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes from Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™.
Televised coverage begins at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT and will see a co-feature featuring fast-rising unbeaten Polish heavyweight contender Adam Kownacki as he clashes with former title challenger Gerald Washington in a 10-round battle and unbeaten featherweight contender Tugstgogt Nyambayar battles Claudio Marrero to open the telecast.
Tickets for the show begin at $50 and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com, barclayscenter.com,or by calling 800-745-3000. Tickets can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Group discounts are available by calling 844-BKLYN-GP.
“There is a high level of anticipation and intrigue surrounding the ring return of welterweight champion Keith Thurman, and Josesito Lopez will certainly provide some answers about where Thurman is after nearly two years out of the ring,’’ said Tom Brown, President of TGB Promotions. “Adam Kownacki and Gerald Washington have the opportunity to show exactly where they stand in the resurgent heavyweight division. Both of them are big heavyweights who love to throw power shots. Nyambayar and Marrero are guaranteed to add fireworks to an already thrilling show. It’s the kind of night that will have fans on the edge of their seats.’’
“I speak for boxing
fans everywhere when I say we are eagerly anticipating Keith Thurman’s return
to the ring,” said Brett Yormark, CEO of BSE Global. “He has experienced great
success at Barclays Center, so it’s fitting that he will lead off a strong year
of BROOKLYN BOXING programming in 2019. I also look forward to seeing local
favorite Adam Kownacki, who always comes with a strong contingent of loud
fans.”
Thurman (28-0, 22 KOs) made a steady rise through the welterweight ranks and reached the pinnacle with hard-fought victories over Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia at Barclays Center,the latter of which earned him a WBC crown in addition to his WBA title. But a string of injuries has sidelined him for nearly two years, calling into question his place amongst the 147-pound elites. The 30-year-old Thurman, who is still the reigning WBA welterweight champion, is looking to regain his top-tier status in the division starting with Lopez.
Thurman, who lives and trains in Clearwater, Florida, enters the ring for the first time since a split decision victory Garcia on March 4, 2017.
“I’m extremely excited to step back into the ring,’’ said Thurman. “It’s a little nerve-wracking considering the time off and because I want to have a tremendous performance. I want to speak more with my hands more than my words and quiet the naysayers who think that Keith Thurman has lost his passion and skills in boxing. I believe I’m the best welterweight in the division and in the world and I hope to showcase that on January 26 with a knockout. The best fights in the welterweight division have involved Keith Thurman and that will continue to be the case. I’m looking forward to having a tremendous year and showing why I’m number one.”
The 34-year-old Lopez(36-7, 19 KOs) is looking to thwart Thurman’s plans to regain his lofty position in the 147-pound division. Nicknamed “The Riverside Rocky’’ because of his all-action style, the Riverside, California-native has stepped into the ring against some of the best boxers of this generation. He has rattled off three straight victories since suffering a TKO loss to former welterweight champion Andre Berto in 2015. Lopez is coming off a unanimous decision victory over previously unbeaten Miguel Cruz on April 28 live on FOX.
“I’m approaching this fight leaving no stone unturned as I prepare to take that world championship,’’Lopez said. “I’ve set up training camp with altitude, chasing chickens,chopping wood – really into putting in the work. Overall the layoff will affect him and there could be a little hesitation, but we’ll see come fight night. The improvements that I’ve made with Robert Garcia the last couple of years will come into play. They’ve strengthened my qualities and I can’t wait to show it to the world.”
Kownacki (18-0, 14 KOs) has risen through the heavyweight ranks with a tough-as-nails brawling style that produced a string of knockout victories and exciting showdowns. His knockout streak ended at four in his last fight when he scored a unanimous decision victory over former heavyweight champion Charles Martin on Sepember 8. Kownacki, who was born in Lomza, Poland and now lives in Brooklyn, will be fighting at Barclays Center for a third straight time and the eighth time overall.
“Living in Brooklyn this is like a home game for me,” said Kownacki.” I’ve had some of my best performances at Barclays Center and I can’t wait to step into the ring against Gerald Washington and showcase myself on PBC on FOX. There is nothing better to start off the year than with a knockout and that’s what I plan on doing on January 26 at Barclays Center. I hope all my fans will come out like they always do and have the arena in white and red.’’
Washington (19-2-1, 12 KOs) is a 6-foot-6 heavyweight who has been able to use his athletic ability to power his way past most of the opponents he faces. That athleticism will pose a challenge to Kownacki, who could be facing the toughest fight of his career.The 36-year-old Washington of Vallejo, California is a former college football standout at the University of Southern California and a U.S. Navy veteran who has challenged Deontay Wilder for his championship. He is coming off a unanimous decision victory over John Wesley Nofire in his last fight on June 10.
“I can’t wait to show everything I’ve been working on,’’ said Washington, “Boxing is a sport of truth. It brings the truth to light and it exposed my truth and what I needed to work on. You have to be able to adjust and be comfortable in every situation. You have to be ready for what’s to come. I’m expecting a hard fight from him. He’s a bruiser. He’s tough and he loves to fight. He’s in his hometown and he’s ready and he’s going to bring it, but I’m ready to position myself to fight again for a world title.’’
Nyambayar (10-0, 9KOs) has made a rapid ascent through the talent-laden featherweight division with precision and power. The 26-year-old Nyambayar, who is from Ulan-Bator Mongolia and now lives in Carson, California, won a silver medal in the 2012 London Olympics as a member of the Mongolian boxing team. He scored a KO victory over Oscar Escandon in his last fight on May 26.
Marrero (23-2, 17KOs), a 29-year-old southpaw from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, is coming off a stunning KO victory over Jorge Lara in his last fight on April 28.Marrero two losses have come against former featherweight champion Jesus Cuellar in 2013 and Jesus Rojas in 2015. A victory over Nyambayar will putMarrero in position to fight for a world title again.w

Plus! Former World Champion Rau’shee Warren
Meets Unbeaten Nordine Oubaali for Vacant WBC Bantamweight Title &
Unbeaten Featherweight Jhack Tepora Takes on
Former World Champion Hugo Ruiz
LAS VEGAS (December 17, 2018) – Two-division world champion Badou Jack will battle unbeaten top-rated contender Marcus Browne for the WBA Interim Light Heavyweight Title Saturday, January 19 on the Manny Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner SHOWTIME PPV® event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
The pay-per-view undercard will also see former world champion Rau’shee Warren taking on France’s Nordine Oubaali for the vacant WBC Bantamweight World Championship in a rematch of their 2012 Olympic match up that was edged by Oubaali. In the opening bout of the four-fight PPV telecast, unbeaten JhackTepora will take on former world champion Hugo Ruiz in a 12-round featherweight clash.
In the main event,
Senator Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao, boxing’s only eight-division world
champion, will end his two-year hiatus from a U.S. boxing ring when he returns
to Las Vegas to defend his World Boxing Association Welterweight World Title
against former four-division world champion and must-see attraction Adrien
“The Problem” Broner.
Tickets for the event,
which is promoted by MP Promotions, Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in
association with About Billions Promotions, are on sale now and start at
$100, not including applicable service charges, and can be purchased online
through AXS.com, charge by phone at 866-740-7711 or in person at any MGM
Resorts International box office.
“Not
only will the fans witness a tremendous main event, they will get to enjoy
three action-packed match-ups that will add another level to the pay-per-view
portion of the card,” said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather
Promotions. “Both Jhack Tepora and Hugo Ruiz are looking to make a name
for themselves in the stacked featherweight division, while Rau’shee Warren and
Nordine Oubaali are in the prime of their careers and battling for the WBC
title. Mayweather Promotions’ Badou Jack has made an exemplary statement for
his career inside and outside of the ring and is focused on further
strengthening his resume, while Marcus Browne is looking to showcase his talent
on boxing’s biggest stage.”
Jack (22-1-3, 13 KOs)
has fought twice at light heavyweight since relinquishing his super
middleweight world title to campaign at 175 pounds. The 35-year-old, who was
born in Stockholm, Sweden, represented his father’s Gambia in the 2008 Olympics
and now lives in Las Vegas. Jack won the super middleweight world title with a
majority decision against Anthony Dirrell in 2015 and successfully defended the
title three times before he relinquished the belt following a hard-fought
majority draw against James DeGale in one 2017’s best fights. In his first bout
at 175 pounds, Jack stopped Nathan Cleverly to pick up the WBA light
heavyweight title before fighting to a majority draw against Adonis Stevenson
in his last fight on May 19.
“I’m looking
forward to getting back onto another big stage to perform for my fans across
the globe and prove I am one of the best fighters in the world,” said
Jack. “I plan to show off my skills with a dominating performance on
January 19. I always want to fight the best, and he’s the best that’s
available right now. I’m always 100 percent ready and I’m going into this
fight stronger, faster and with more experience than ever before.”
The 28-year-old Browne
(22-0, 16 KOs) will be taking a step up to face an elite opponent when he battles
Jack. A member of the 2012 U.S. Olympic boxing team, Browne moved up the
contender ladder in the 175-pound division with brute force and power, scoring
three straight knockout victories against Thomas Williams, Jr., Sean Monaghan
and Francy Ntetu. Browne, who was born and raised in Staten Island, N.Y.,
scored a unanimous decision victory over Lenin Castillo in his last fight on
August 4.
“This is really an
honor and a privilege to have an opportunity to showcase my talents on a big
time pay-per-view card featuring Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner,” Browne
said. “Badou Jack is a championship-caliber fighter and one of the
toughest guys you can fight in the light heavyweight division. I’m ready for
the step up in competition and focused on being a household name in the sport
sooner rather than later.”
Warren (16-2, 4 KOs) is
looking to return to the world championship ranks with a victory over Oubaali.
The 31-year-old became the first three-time Olympic boxer from the U.S. when he
qualified for consecutive Olympic teams in 2004, 2008 and 2012. His Olympic run
came to an end against Oubaali when he lost a narrow 19-18 decision in the
first round of the 2012 London Games. A southpaw from Cincinnati, Ohio, Warren
won the WBA Bantamweight World Championship with a majority decision over Juan
Carlos Payano in 2016 and lost the title the next year to Zhanat Zhakiyanov by
split-decision.
“This fight means
everything for me and it’s about to be the biggest moment of my career,”
Warren said. “Not only am I fighting for the WBC belt, but it’s on
pay-per-view. When I first won the title it was like winning the gold medal at
the Olympics. After I lost the title, it made me much hungrier and I want to
get it back even more. I fought this guy in the Olympics, so I’m fighting for
revenge. This isn’t the Olympics. This is 12 rounds and I don’t think he’s
fought anybody like me. I have no choice but to put it all on the line on
January 19.”
The 32-year-old Oubaali
(14-0, 11 KOs), an unbeaten southpaw from Lens, Pas-de-Calais, France, has
knocked out his last five opponents. His most recent KO of Luis Melendez on
April 17 moved Oubaali up the ranks to position him for a world title shot.
Oubaali, who is the sixth of 18 children born in France to parents who are from
Morocco, twice represented France at the Olympics, qualifying in 2008 and 2012
when he defeated Warren.
“Many people are
waiting for this fight because it’s the second time we meet,” said Oubaali.”I
beat Rau’shee Warren at the 2012 London Games in a great battle. In the
meantime, Rau’shee captured a world championship and lost it. Right now, I’m
the WBC No. 1 ranked bantamweight fighter in the world. It will be a great
fight in Las Vegas on January 19 and I intend to beat Rau’shee again to become
the new WBC world champion.”
The 25-year-old Tepora
(22-0, 17 KOs) has steadily risen up the ranks since turning pro in 2012 and
most recently captured the WBA interim featherweight crown with a ninth-round
stoppage of Edivaldo Ortega in July. Representing Cebu City, Philippines,
Tepora enters his U.S. debut on January 19 with stoppage wins in 11 of his last
12 contests.
“It
has always been a dream to fight in the United States,” said Tepora.
“I never dreamed that my first fight in the U.S. would be on a card with
Senator Manny Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner. I look forward to a tremendous fight
on January 19 and defending my title versus former world champion Hugo Ruiz. As
you all know the best rivalry in boxing is Filipino vs. Mexican. It’s going to
be a great fight.”
Fighting out of Los
Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, Ruiz (38-4, 33 KOs) will make his featherweight debut
on January 19 after picking up two victories in 2018. The 30-year-old won a
super bantamweight world title with a first round stoppage of Julio Ceja in
2016, avenging his previous loss to Ceja in one of 2015’s most exciting fights.
He now seeks to position himself for a world title at 126 pounds with a victory
against Tepora.
“I
expect it to be a good fight because Tepora is undefeated and a good Filipino
champion,” said Ruiz. “But I’m ready. I don’t think he can handle my
power. I’m going to knock him out. I want to do my best to win the title. I’ve
been watching videos of him and I’ve been training hard. I’m really focused on
how to beat him. I’m still young, but I’ve got the experience to handle him in
this fight.”
