Akciu propagujú spoločnosti TGB Promotions a Sampson Boxing. Romero vs. Zápas Maríñez spolu propaguje spoločnosť Mayweather Promotions.
23-ročný Benavídez (22-0, 19 KO) bráni opasok po tom, čo v septembri porazil dvojnásobného šampióna v superťažkej váhe Anthonyho Dirrella, zastavil ho v deviatich kolách. Benavideza trénuje jeho otec José starší., po boku svojho brata a bývalého vyzývateľa na titul, Jose ml. V 2017, sa stal najmladším šampiónom super strednej váhy v histórii boxu porazením Ronalda Gavrila v čase SHOWTIME 20 rokov. Predstavuje svoj rodný Phoenix, Ariz. Benavídez odišiel z 15-ročného zázračného zápasu s Gennadijom Golovkinom a Petrom Quillinom, uchádzačom o svetový titul s vyraďovacou šnúrou z 10 bojov od 2015 cez 2017, vrátane knokautu Rogelia Medinu so zvýraznením valca so sedembodovou kombináciou, ktorá mu vyniesla prvý majstrovský zápas.
"Je to už takmer rok, čo som naposledy bojoval.", takže sa veľmi túžim vrátiť späť do ringu a dať fanúšikom skvelý boj,”Povedal Benavídez. „Výcvikový tábor bol úžasný. Našťastie, môj otec si tesne pred pandémiou otvoril vlastnú telocvičňu, absolvovali sme súkromné školenie a mohli sme bezpečne priviesť sparingpartnerov, ktorí mi pomôžu pracovať. Čelím veľmi zložitému a drsnému bojovníkovi, takže ho beriem veľmi vážne. Mám pocit, že môžem využiť niektoré otvory v jeho obrane a hľadať vypadnutie ako v každom súboji. “
Narodený v El Bordo, Kolumbia a teraz bojujú z Miami, Fla., Angulo (26-1, 22 KO) vstupuje do svojej druhej príležitosti na získanie titulu majstra sveta v sérii víťazných víťazstiev v troch bojoch, vrátane dvoch triumfov nad predtým neporazenými bojovníkmi. Angulo zastavil Reinalda Gonzaleza 2018 vo svojom prvom súboji od straty rozhodnutia o vtedajšom šampiónovi superhviezdy strednej váhy Gilberto Ramirezovi začiatkom toho roku. Rozhodujúce víťazstvo zaznamenal tento rok v januári nad Anthonym Simsom ml. postaviť sa do pozície, v ktorej môže opäť vyzvať najlepších v tejto divízii.
"Som pripravený na všetko, čo sa 15. augusta stane v ringu," uviedol Angulo. „Pre fanúšikov to bude veľký boj kvôli štýlu, ktorý prinášam do ringu. Benavidez je silný šampión, ale môj štýl bude pre neho príliš veľký a budem mať v noci zdvihnutú ruku. “
Boj z Las Vegas, Nev., Romero(11-0, 10 KO) pridal k svojmu zhode v roku tri víťazstvá knockoutu 2019 pred jeho 2020 debutu ho vo februári zastavil predtým neporazený Arturs Ahmetovs. Rýchlo rastúca vyhliadka v stajni Mayweather Promotions, 24-ročný mladík je zaradený na č. 10 WBA a bude sa snažiť v auguste predĺžiť svoju vyraďovaciu sériu šiestich bojov 15.
“Je to skvelý pocit, vrátiť sa do ringu a bojovať o takúto skvelú príležitosť,”Povedal Romero. "Toto bol najlepší tábor v mojej kariére.", a poviem len toto, ak vás pandémia brzdí v tréningu, potom to nechcete mať dosť zlé. Už teraz verím, že by som tu mal byť s najlepšími ľuďmi, ale svet v skutočnosti uvidí, že som ten, za koho hovorím. Som si istý svojimi bojovnými schopnosťami a mám najlepšie v odbore, Floyd Mayweather, za mnou. Myslím si, že tento boj sa skončí pomerne rýchlo, ale uvidíte vo mne rast ako bojovníka. Toto je ďalší boj, ktorý ďalej preukáže, že tu zostanem. Zaregistrujte sa do KO!”
"Pre Rolanda je to veľký krok vpred.", a čakal na príležitosť predviesť svoj talent,”Povedal Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions. "Má pred sebou veľkú skúšku, aby sa osvedčil.". Toto bude ďalší, ktorý si nenechajte ujsť, takže si v sobotu nalaďte SHOWTIME, 15. augusta. “
29-ročný Maríñez (19-0, 7 KO) je držiteľom titulu WBA č. 6 poradie, which he earned with victories over Rolando Giono and Kenin Betancourt while picking up eight wins between 2018 a 2019. Representing his native Santo Domingo, Dominikánska republika, Maríñez was successful in his U.S. debut in December of last year, stopping Yardley Armenta Cruz in two rounds.
“I’ve had a great training camp for this fight,” said Maríñez. “I’ve been sparring with Vergil Ortiz and Jose Ramirez, plus other fighters in Robert Garcia’s gym, and it’s gotten me ready to step into the ring. I know that Romero is a tough and durable fighter, so it won’t be easy, but I’m going to do anything I can to bring the title back home.”
Wallin (20-1, 13 KO) will return to the ring for the first time since he nearly defeated Tyson Fury in September 2019, keď otvoril príšerný rez cez pravé oko Furyho legálnym úderom, ktorý takmer zastavil boj. Zatiaľ čo 29-ročný muž stratil rozhodnutie, preukázal svoje odhodlanie ako potenciálny budúci šampión v ťažkej váhe. Zastupujúci svoj rodný Sundsvall, Švédsko, Wallin trénuje v New Yorku s bývalým šampiónom Joey Gamache.
"Som veľmi šťastný, že som konečne späť v ringu.",”Povedal Wallin. "Bol to v mnohých ohľadoch dlhý a šialený rok a je to skvelý pocit, keď sa chystám ustúpiť do ringu.". Od boja s Fury som vytrvalo trénoval a mám pocit, že som svoju hru vyvinul mnohými spôsobmi. Kauffman je tvrdý veterán, ktorý môže prísť dopredu alebo boxovať, ak chce. Je bojovníkom priateľským k fanúšikom a ja musím byť neustále pripravený. Máme ako vždy skvelý herný plán a som vo vynikajúcej forme. Viem, že mám všetky nástroje na to, aby som Kauffmana porazil. “
Veterán krajiny ťažkej váhy, Kauffman (32-3, 23 KO) vlastní knihu, ktorá obsahuje výzvy najvyšších váh vrátane Luisa Ortiza, Chris Arreola a Amir Mansour, okrem iného. Čítanie, Rodák z Pensylvánie prehral svoj posledný zápas s Ortizom, nasledujúce a 2018 triumf nad Scottom Alexandrom.
"Toto je moje prvé sústredenie po siedmich rokoch bez brata Naazima Richardsona.", ale viem, že by nechcel, aby som opustil tábor a chcel by som, aby som sa sústredil,”Povedal Kauffman. "Nechať ho zomrieť, keď som bol v tábore, bola jedna z najťažších vecí, s ktorými som sa musel vyrovnať.", ale v každom tábore, ktorý som mal, sú nepriazne. Necítil by som sa dobre, keby nebolo ťažkosti prekonať. Môj otec, Marshall, ustúpil ako hlavný tréner. Vieme, že čelíme mladému človeku, hladný bojovník, ale mám viac skúseností ako on a nemyslím si, že vydrží 10 keď som na, za mnou 100% akoby som bol 15. augusta. “
Medzi ďalšie akcie mimo televízneho vysielania bude patriť super uchazeč strednej váhyAlantez Fox(26-2-1, 12 KO) bojuje s GhanouHabib Ahmed(27-1-1, 18 KO) v osemkolovej atrakcii.

SHOWTIME® ACQUIRES AWARD-WINNING DOCUMENTARY RINGSIDE
RINGSIDE Chronicles The Lives And Struggles Of Two Boxing Prodigies Coming Of Age On Chicago’s South Side
Premieres On Friday, Jún 12 Na 8:30 p.m. ET / PT na SHOWTIME
NEW YORK – May 4, 2020 - SHOWTIME announced today it has acquired rights to the award-winning documentary RINGSIDE, which chronicles the dramatic upbringing of two boxing prodigies and follows the divergent paths they take as they navigate life’s uncertainties on the South Side of Chicago. Filmed over the course of nine years by award-winning director Andre Hörmann, RINGSIDE will premiere on SHOWTIME on Friday, Jún 12 na 8:30 p.m. ET / PT.
Winner of the Silver Hugo Award at the Chicago International Film Festival, RINGSIDE documents the lives of Kenneth Sims Jr., Destyne Butler Jr., and their dedicated fathers who train them, and their aspirations of surviving one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the nation to achieve boxing glory. Hörmann teamed up with award-winning cinematographer Tom Bergmann and editor Vincent Assmann in 2009 to begin following the gifted young athletes. Starting with their U.S. Olympijské® Boxing Team Trials, the filmmakers captured pivotal moments over nine years as the young men’s choices and circumstances changed, leading them down separate paths – one towards a promising boxing career and the other through the prison system.
“Filmed over the course of nine years, RINGSIDE is a complex, emotional account of two youths fighting to survive both professionally and personally,"Povedal Stephen Espinoza, Prezident, Šport a programovanie udalostí, Showtime Networks Inc. “This remarkable film follows two gifted young boxers and the fathers who guide them, as they strive to overcome a seemingly never-ending series of personal and societal obstacles. The result is a moving story about hope, ambition, self-discipline, resilience and redemption. It is this type of provocative story, at the intersection of sports and society, that has become the hallmark of SHOWTIME Sports Documentary Films.”
Both young men achieved remarkable success in their amateur careers. Sims amassed over 250 amatérske zápasy, winning numerous national titles, and after his professional debut in 2014, became a sought-after sparring partner for Manny Pacquiao and Jorge Linares among others. He has made four appearances on the SHOWTIME prospect developmental seriesShoBox: Nová generácia to date. Conversely, Butler fell in with a burglary ring and served time in prison. He returned to boxing following his release in 2018, winning the Chicago Golden Gloves. He now stands undefeated following nine professional bouts.
A Sutor Kolonko and Motto Pictures production in association with Blue Ice Docs and Mitten Media, RINGSIDEis produced by two-time Academy Award® nominee and Emmy® Award winner Julie Goldman, Emmy Award winner Ingmar Trost and Emmy and Peabody Award winner Christopher Clements. The executive producers are Ken Pelletier, Mark Mitten and Carolyn Hepburn.

NEW YORK – April 14, 2020 – This week’s installment of the digital podcast seriesSHOWTIME BOXING WITH ERIC RASKIN AND KIERAN MULVANEY features heavyweight contender Otto Wallin, who recently recovered from COVID-19, and promoter Dmitriy Salita in an interview about life in quarantine and the effect the virus has had on the sport of boxing. Viac, Hall of Fame analyst and boxing historian Steve Farhood joins this week’sRevenge: The Rematchessegment to discuss Azumah Nelson vs. Jesse James Leija II, Gerald McClellan vs. Julian Jackson II, and Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Frankie Randall II. Click the following link to listen to the full episode, https://s.sho.com/3bkvFp1.
Excerpts from the episode:
On COVID-19 and its effect on the sport of boxing…
Slovo – “It’s a really unpredictable environment right now. Boxing is an international sport. Now more than ever, fighters come to the U.S. from all over to train and fight. It’s really important that the whole world heals so that things can go back to normal.”
Wallin – “This virus is very serious. People are dying – people from the gym have died. I didn’t have many symptoms when I had it, but it spread to my mother’s boyfriend who is a diabetic and he was very ill. When you are home, don’t just stay on the couch. You have to come up with ideas to keep yourself busy and do something.”
On staying in shape during quarantine…
Wallin – “I am trying to make the best of the situation, and I can do a lot with what I have now. It’s working alright. I do some boxing punching on the wall and lots of shadow boxing.”
On Salita Promotions’ Train Like a Boxer YouTube Series…
Slovo – “We were thinking of ways to keep connections between the fighters and the fans. Everyone is stuck at home, no one can go to work and it’s important to stay healthy and active. We thought we could let the fans know about what the fighters are doing at home and keep communication between everyone going.”
On what’s next for Wallin…
Slovo – “In the fight with [Tyson] Fury you can see how amazing his performance was. Numbers don’t lie, Otto landed more punches against Fury than any opponent including [Vladimir] Klitschko and [Deontay] Wilder –in the first fight. Otto is a world-class fighter, and hopefully we get back to business and he can show that he is one of the best heavyweights in the world.”
On Chavez vs. Randall II…
Farhood – “I think it was a sign Chavez was getting to the end, he was only 31 but he had 90 fights and I think Randall got him at the right time. Watching Randall in both fights boxing so well reminded me a bit of Buster Douglas against [Mikrofón] Tyson. This guy didn’t give you anything to think he could do something like this – just boxing beautifully. I thought Randall probably deserved the rematch decision by a point, but it was a very close fight.”

Below are excerpts from the interview with Espinoza:
On SHOWTIME Sports’ interim content plan…
Espinoza – “It is therapeutic to look forward to and make plans for things that are more reflective of normal life for us, absolutely. Our goal is to fill that gap with a lot of the stuff we have. We have a deep library of documentaries and we are definitely surfacing a lot more of the archive bothON DEMAND and we will look at it on linear more regularly.”
On what lies ahead when boxing resumes…
Espinoza – “It’s going to be a wild ride. There’s a lot to be made up. There are a lot of fighters that need fights to happen, and I think we could be in for a pretty interesting period of time where there’s a lot of activity in a relatively short window … I think we’re going to see an action-packed, jam-packed schedule whenever we return, whether it’s in three, six or nine months – and we may see people taking a different tact on taking fights.”
On what fight you wish you could go back in time to attend live …
Espinoza – “Chavez vs. Haugen on February 20,1993 for the WBC Light Welterweight Title at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City… It wasn’t a great fight or great opponent but it’s my pick because of the legendary status that fight has within Showtime’s hallways. Tam boli 132,000 ľudia v návštevnosti, you had Chavez taking the presidential helicopter to events [a] you had Don King getting robbed on his way from the airport to the hotel as soon he got into town. There were so many things around the atmosphere. It was one of those legendary events I would’ve loved to be at for the atmosphere.”
