Unbeaten Cuban Faces WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder Samedi, Mars 3 live on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center in Brooklyn & Présenté par Premier Champions de boxe
BROOKLYN (Février 26, 2018) – When unbeaten heavyweight Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz faces WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder Samedi, Mars 3 en direct sur Showtime de Barclays Centre, la maison de BROOKLYN BOXE ™, he will be looking to make history not just for Cuban boxing, but for all Hispanic or Latino fighters.
Ortiz has a chance to become the first Latino or Hispanic heavyweight world champion born outside of the U.S. and just the second heavyweight of Latino or Hispanic descent to capture the heavyweight world title. The first was Massachusetts’ John Ruiz, whose parents were Puerto Rican and who defeated Evander Holyfield for the WBA Heavyweight World Championship in March 2001.
“This fight is not only important for my family, but for Cuban boxing history,” Ledit Ortiz. “My only focus right now is on the strategy I will need to defeat Wilder, but I know this fight has a lot of significance. I’m going to make history for myself and my country when I knock out Wilder on Mars 3.”
Cuba has had three previous fighters vie for the heavyweight title, with Jorge Luis Gonzalez losing to Riddick Bowe in 1995 and Vitali Klitschko defeating both Juan Carlos Gomez in 2009 Odlanier Solis in 2011. Ortiz hopes to stake his claim to the upper echelon of Cuban heavyweight lore along with heavyweight Teofilo Stevenson, who won three Olympic gold medals and is considered the greatest Cuban fighter of all time, despite never fighting professionally.
The strong boxing tradition of Cuba has continued to this day, with Ortiz looking to become the 18e world titlist from the country. Prominent active Cuban fighters include WBA 154-pound champion Erislandy Lara, who fights Jarrett Hurd in a unification showdown Avril 7 sur Showtime, and two-division world champion Rances Barthelemy, who looks to become the first three-division champion in Cuban history Mars 10 sur Showtime.
The history of Hispanic fighters vying for the heavyweight title dates back to the legendary matchup in 1923 between Jack Dempsey and Argentina’s Luis Firpo. Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier and Larry Holmes all defended against Hispanic challengers while Deontay Wilder has beaten three Mexican-American opponents in Chris Arreola, Gerald Washington and Eric Molina.
The fourth heavyweight title fight in Barclays Center history will give Ortiz a chance to make his name not only as a world champion, but a barrier-breaker for Hispanic heavyweights.

L'événement Premier Boxing Champions est mis en vedette par le match très attendu entre le champion du monde des poids lourds Deontay Wilder et challenger invaincu Luis Ortiz.

Dirrell a déménagé son camp d'entraînement à Oakland pour s'entraîner avec Hunter et acquérir la sagesse d'être autour de Ward. Ward pour sa part, estime que Dirrell n'a pas encore atteint son potentiel sur le ring.
“Ce que je ressens pour André est ce que j'ai toujours ressenti, le ciel est la limite,” dit le Ward récemment retraité. “Il a la capacité et le talent donnés par Dieu pour faire tout ce qu'il veut faire dans un ring de boxe. En d'autres termes, il est béni avec le genre de cadeaux, que s'il a décidé qu'il ne se laissera pas battre et s'il se prépare correctement au camp, ça va être très dur de le battre.
“Avec un combattant avec l'expérience et le pedigree d'André, c'est moins physique et plus psychologique. Voulez-vous être un champion et voulez-vous dominer votre division? si la réponse est oui, ce que je crois que c'est, alors vas-y. Cela semble simple et à bien des égards, mais vous devez être très intentionnel pour conditionner votre esprit à penser de cette façon et à le croire vraiment. C’est la raison pour laquelle il s’entraîne avec Virgil dans la région de la baie. Éducation physique, préparation mentale & préparation spirituelle. Tout compte.”
Voici une partie de ce que Dirrell avait à dire sur le camp d'entraînement avec Hunter et Ward. Lire l'histoire complète ICI via PremierBoxingChampions.com.
Quelles sont les nuances qu'apporte Virgil, et ton grand-père, Leon “Pare-chocs” Lawson, reste dans ton coin?
“Virgil m'apprend de la même manière que mon grand-père m'a appris, et je peux facilement dire qu'il reprend là où mon grand-père s'est arrêté. Mon grand-père a mis mes talents en moi, faisant de moi le combattant qu'André Ward devait s'inquiéter de l'époque.
“Mais mon grand-père n’a plus vraiment la capacité d’entraîner car il est aux premiers stades de la démence, mais je l'ai toujours dans mon coin, et je le ferai toujours. Virgil a repris, et c'est sans pareil, le meilleur que j'ai ressenti, mentalement, dans ma carrière. Il y a de petites choses à propos de Virgil auxquelles j'ai dû m'adapter.
“Le sens de l’humour de Virgil est brut, ludique et sérieux à la fois. Si je m'arrête une minute, il me dira, «Il faut une seconde pour être éliminé.’ Il enseigne avec passion, direction et reste concentré sur la tâche à accomplir, Je veux vraiment que vous inculquiez à quel point les choses sont importantes, psychologiquement.”
À quel point l’atmosphère de la salle de sport de Virgil est-elle bénéfique??
“Il y a une aura positive dans le gymnase, qui est un environnement gagnant. Quand tu entres dans cette salle de gym, il est temps de travailler. Virgil vous le fait savoir simplement en vous regardant. Vous avez les affiches d’André Ward tout autour de vous, autres combattants’ des affiches autour de vous. Il y a beaucoup de combattants’ fait face sur ces murs de gym, dont Andre Berto's.
“Je suis vraiment inspiré car l’atmosphère a tout à offrir en ce qui concerne la formation. Tu as les montagnes, les plages. Et bien sûr,, en fin de compte, vous avez Virgil, qui a du flair pour lui et un moyen de générer ce feu en vous et de le faire sortir de vous. La chose la plus importante avec Virgil est l'écoute.”
Quels conseils avez-vous reçus de Ward?
“André n’a jamais vraiment hésité à donner des conseils et a toujours été là pour me les donner, aucun problème du tout. André a toujours été cordial et honnête de vouloir me voir tenir cette ceinture de championnat. Je crois qu'il verra ça cette année.
“Mais je peux imaginer que maintenant qu'il est hors du jeu, il peut le faire plus librement. J'ai récemment eu une conversation téléphonique de 45 minutes avec lui à propos de Jésus-Christ, mais, face à face, nous avons parlé assez souvent. Il est descendu pour quelques-unes de mes séances d'entraînement et il en viendra à quelques autres.
“Nous avons toujours parlé et passé un bon moment, et il a été une véritable inspiration, en plus d'être un boxeur. Andre a confiance en lui dans et hors du ring, c'est donc l'un des meilleurs de ma vie en tant que motivateur pour la vie en dehors et au-delà de la boxe.”
Virgil a-t-il brisé le combat d'Uzecategui?
“Virgil a regardé le combat plusieurs fois, et j'ai regardé le combat plusieurs fois. Nous avons tous les deux convenu que les erreurs étaient définitivement les miennes et tous les deux conviennent que je n'ai pas utilisé mon statut de général de ring.
“Même avec les défauts que je commettais, J'ai toujours trouvé mon groove. Je me suis entendu dire que j'avais réduit son timing et que je prenais le relais jusqu'à la fin du combat.
“Uzecategui est un combattant, mais c'est tout – il n’est pas un boxeur. Il a une grande capacité de frappe mais pas de grandes compétences et il n'est pas rapide, alors je m'attends à ce qu'il m'attaque comme au premier combat. Il sait comment assembler un un-deux-trois, et il a faim.
“En ce qui concerne la boxe, Je vais devoir lui apprendre une chose ou deux sur la façon dont ce jeu est vraiment joué. Il ne fait aucun doute que j'ai rendu le premier combat plus difficile qu'il ne devait l'être. Je regarde ce premier combat avec tellement de confiance.
“Je sais que je me suis mal battu, mais je revenais toujours. Il a remporté le premier, deuxième et éventuellement troisième et quatrième tours, mais je revenais. Alors cette fois, J'ai tellement l'intention de frustrer ce garçon qu'il sera complètement hors de son jeu.”

“I was just about to peak. Now I have to taper off a bit and cut back to let my body recover and then pick it up and get some momentum back.”
“Je suis prêt à aller,” Saïd Charlo. “Je suis 167 livres en ce moment, and this was the best camp I’ve ever had. I’m so disappointed. I’m at a loss for words. When you want something so bad and you don’t get it, you can’t be a kid about it. You just have to deal with it.
“I’m hungry and I’m ready to get back in the ring. I’m still coming to the fight though. I’m going be there to support Deontay. I love Barclays Center and all my fans in Brooklyn.”

STEP, TX. (Février 17, 2018) – Anciens champions du monde Victor Ortiz (32-6-3, 25 KOs) et Devon Alexander (27-4-1, 14 KOs) fought to majority draw in the exciting main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes Samedi night from Don Haskins Center on the UTEP campus in El Paso, Texas.
Both fighters believed they had done enough over the 12 rounds to earn the decision.
“I absolutely thought I won the fight,” a déclaré Alexander. “The last few rounds I probably gave him, but I thought I out landed him in the 12th. I thought I did enough to win. I gave him three rounds.”
“I thought the decision was a little off and I thought I did enough to win,” Ledit Ortiz. “The first few rounds were a little complicated. He’s a great boxer and he was timing me just right. I wasn’t leaving the line of fire.”
The fight turned out to be a back-and-forth affair, with Alexander dominating much of the early action. Alexander frequently caught Ortiz charging in with right hands and combinations. The attacks opened up swelling in Victor’s left eye beginning in round three.
“The eye was tough to overcome,” Ledit Ortiz. “I can’t really see out of it. I really had to listen to my corner. I tried to stay composed as I could, but he’s a really good fighter.”
“My game plan was to be smart,” a déclaré Alexander. “Victor always has problems with people that are faster and have more ring IQ. I wanted to put him in the state of mind that he can’t win.”
Alexander won five of the first six rounds on two judges’ scorecards and all six on the other’s. Ortiz began to have more success in the second half as Alexander’s output slowed slightly and Ortiz remained persistent charging forward. This effort allowed him to win five of the final six rounds on two judges’ cards and all six of the final frames on the third judge’s card.
Après 12 tours, the judges scored the bout 115-113 for Ortiz and 114-114 deux fois, resulting in the majority draw. Après le combat, both former champions expressed interest in a possible rematch.
“I would love a rematch,” a déclaré Alexander. “That’s up to my team to see what’s next, but I’ll fight anybody. I’m a real fighter.”
“A rematch would be awesome,” Ledit Ortiz. “If both teams agree and the fans want it, let’s make it happen.”
The co-main event of the telecast saw unbeaten Caleb “Sweethands” Usine (17-0, 10 KOs) score a unanimous decision victory over former title challenger Rogelio “Porky” Medina (38-9, 32 KOs) in their IBF Super Middleweight world title eliminator.

“It was a tough fight tonight against a tough competitor who puts everything on the line,” ladite plante. “I’m happy we got the job done tonight.”
Plant established his style early, landing several flush jabs in round one to control the distance. The Nashville-born fighter showed the superior footwork from the outset that would lead him to the victory.
“I stuck to the game plan and I did exactly what I said I was going to do,” ladite plante. “I boxed his ears off for 12 Les manches.”
“Il ne m'a jamais blessé avait, but I found his style very difficult,” said Medina. “He moves a lot and he’s pretty quick, so that was tough to deal with.”
While Plant has now become the number two rated contender in the IBF 168-pound rankings, Medina was not eligible to achieve that ranking due to missing weight Vendredi.
“I think I felt the struggle to make weight a little bit,” said Medina. “I was a little tired in the later rounds and it probably was due to the drain to make weight. But it is what it is.”
Plant was able to mix in lead left hooks and straight right hands to continue to damage Medina throughout the action. The consistent jabs caused blood to begin pouring out of the nose of Medina beginning in round three.
While Medina continued to fight hard and occasionally land single clean punches on Plant, he was unable to follow-up with much effective offense and never was able to hurt his opponent.
Après 12 tours d'action, the judges scored the fight 120-108, 119-109 et 117-11, all in favor of Plant.
“Je voudrais (IBF 168-pound champion) Caleb Truax,” ladite plante. “He was calling me out when I was 12-0. I’m on the doorstep knocking now, let’s see if he still wants it. He can either ship me the IBF belt to my doorstep, or I’ll come take it off his waist.”
Additional televised action saw 2016 U.S.. Olympien Karlos Balderas (4-0, 3 KOs) remain undefeated as he cruised to a unanimous decision over Jorge Rojas (4-3-1, 2 KOs) in their lightweight bout.
The four-round bout was not only the first time Balderas had gone the distance as a pro, but the first time an opponent made it through more than one round against him. Balderas staggered Rojas early in round one with a counter left hook, but Rojas was able to survive the round and the subsequent stanzas.
“I felt good in there,” said Balderas. “I need to learn to relax a little bit more in the ring. I hurt him in the first round and I could have finished him quickly. My corner reminded me to slow down, but I was still throwing everything with power. I’m going to keep working on my composure in the gym. I can’t kill everyone in the first round.”
After four rounds of action all three judges scored the fight in favor of the Santa Maria, California-native Balderas by the score of 40-36.
“I’m going to keep picking up my opposition this year,” said Balderas. “Rojas had a really good chin. I’m going to stay in great shape so I’m ready whenever the call comes. I’m going to keep working and aiming for that world title shot down the road.”

Ortiz spoke on a variety of topics as he heads into the highly anticipated showdown with Wilder. Here is what Ortiz had to say from training camp in Miami:
On Deontay Wilder…
“He’s talking too much. He’s going to have to back that up in the ring. He says he’s going to kill ‘King Kong.’ He’s going to knock me out. I want to watch him try. I’m not like those other guys he fought. Je suis un vrai combattant. Tough and with a lot of experience. I’ve been fighting since I was 10 ans.
“He doesn’t intimidate me. His trash talk makes me laugh. It’s just a lot of noise. J'ai faim. I’m doing this for my family. He better take me seriously because he’s going to find himself on the canvas before he knows it. I’m going to show the world who ‘King Kong’ is.”
On his confrontation with Wilder after Ortiz’s last fight…
“Someone told me Wilder was in the crowd, I smiled. I was glad to see him. I knew what he wanted.
“I’m not the kind that likes to trash talk, but I’ve had it with this guy. He talks too much. He has a big mouth. He has insulted me and has said too many dumb things. So when I saw him ringside I told him to get inside the ring and to tell the world once and for all that he was going to fight me. He says he wants to fight the top fighters. I’m a top fighter. Let’s do it.”
On testing positive for a banned substance during training for the first scheduled fight against Wilder…
“A lot of people that believe in me and know me well, know that I would not do anything that can jeopardize my future as a boxer. I have too much at stake: ma famille, my children and the possibility to provide for them.
“I had been taking that medicine for two years. It was my mistake not to disclose that prescription drug in the paperwork. I never thought a prescription was going to bring me so much trouble. I was taking this medicine to treat high blood pressure, but apparently it’s also used to go to the bathroom a lot and mask other things. I drink two gallons of water per day. I go to the bathroom a lot already. I never put two and two together. I’m clean. The dose they found in my system was too low to mask anything at all. If I would have known this prescription drug was not allowed, I would have told my trainer and my doctor.
“I’m a heavyweight I don’t need to make weight. Why am I going to go to the trouble of taking an illegal substance that makes you go to the bathroom a lot? I have no need. I simply didn’t know it was banned. If I would have known, I would have said something to my trainer or to the doctors.
“I think the fight was not meant to be at that point in time last year. Destiny played a part. It was supposed to be postponed. Now there are no excuses.”
On how important this fight is for him…
“Every fight I’ve had in my career has been important. The key is always to avoid thinking that it’s win or die because that can put you off center. So the way I see it is that this fight is important for me because I have to win it. And I’m going to. It’s a world championship, but for me it’s just another day at work. My only goal is to win this fight. Victoire. Victoire. Victoire. By winning this fight, everything else unfolds. I get a title and I help my family.”
On what’s going to happen on fight night…
“Quand je monte sur le ring, all I will be thinking about is the strategy we put together in the gym. My family is always there. They go to every fight. That was my promise to them when I had to leave them behind in Cuba to come to the United States. They will come with me wherever I go. If I gas out, I look at them and they keep me going. They are my motivation and they will help me achieve this victory.”

Here is what the fighters had to say Wednesday from the Wolves Den Boxing Gym:
Victor Ortiz
“Je ai eu un camp d'entraînement. I just made sure to listen to my coach every day and grind every day with my team. You really have to grind when people say this is your ‘last chance,’ because I’m not ready for that.
“Every fight shows a lot. Every time I step into the ring it’s a new challenge. I haven’t had any shortcuts throughout my career. I’ve never treated a fight like an easy fight.
“Life tends to take you certain places and right now I’m where I’m supposed to be. I’m 31-years-old and I believe I’m going to be able to accomplish all my goals in this sport.
“Devon Alexander is a very fast boxer who was a champion for a reason. We’ve prepared for him in each and every way possible. We’ve worked hard to be in the best condition possible. I won’t step out of the ring without that victory.
“I’ve done what I have to do to prepare for Devon Alexander. I have speed and power and that’s a scary combination for any welterweight.
“I’m thankful for the support of El Paso and I’m proud to be fighting in the main event Samedi. We’re here to perform for everybody and have a great time.”
Devon Alexander
“Je me sens bien maintenant. It’s been a tremendous training camp and I’m ready to go. I’m happy to be in El Paso to do something I love to do. Boxing is what I was born to do and I’m just ready for Samedi.
“Victor Ortiz is a good fighter. We’ve known each other for a long time. We used to fight in a lot of the same amateur tournaments. We go back a long way but this is business. We’re not friends in the ring. We’re not playing games.
“Ce combat est très important pour moi. This can catapult me back to title contention. If this doesn’t go my way, it’s very bad for my career. If I pull out the win, it could lead to tremendous opportunities for me. This is a do-or-die fight.
“I’ve added more power in this camp. But we’ve pretty much kept it typical with that emphasis on really looking good on fight night. It’s just been an all-around good camp. Victor Ortiz can’t bring something that we haven’t seen before.”
CALEB PLANT
“Je suis prêt pour ce combat. A lot of boxers say they had their best camp heading into a big fight, but I truly have never had a camp this good. From sparring to conditioning, mentalement et spirituellement, I’m on point.
“Medina is a tough competitor. He puts it all on the line and he doesn’t quit. We’ve had problems in the past getting people to quit, but I feel we’ve figured out how to take me to that next level and get these guys out of there.
“This is a great USA vs. Mexico showdown. I’m coming to put on a show for all the fans here and watching on television.
“Everyone has a plan until they miss their first 40 poinçons. We both have plans, but all that matters is if you can translate that into the ring. Stylistiquement, I don’t think he’s fought anyone like me. It’s exciting because everyone knows what both of us are coming to do. It’s the bull versus the matador.”
ROGELIO MEDINA
“The fact that I’ve been sparring with David Benavidez in camp and have Alex Ariza around has me feeling very confident. I’m in great shape and will be ready for a great performance on fight night.
“I know that Plant likes to run and stay on the outside. Once he feels my power, I know he’s going to run even more. I’ve been making sure I’m in proper condition to chase him, cut the ring off and apply pressure.
“Everyone knows I like to fight coming forward. I’m fully confident in my abilities to get this win and earn another shot at the world title.”
