Fighting out of Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte, פיליפינען, Tapales (33-2, 16 קאָס) captured a bantamweight world title in 2016 with a comeback knockout victory over Panya Uthok while down on the scorecards.

Eubank and Korobov will meet for the Interim WBA Middleweight Title.
The middleweight division will take center stage on the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast (9 פּ.ם. עט / 6 פּ.ם. פּט) that is headlined by undefeated WBC Middleweight World Championדזשערמאַלל טשאַרלאָdefending his title against highly-ranked contenderדעניס האָגאַן.
Eubank is coming off a career-best win over British super middleweight rival James DeGale in February on SHOWTIME and will go down to the 160-pound class to take on Korobov, a southpaw who gave Charlo a tougher than expected test as a late replacement last December at Barclays Center.

“Chris Eubank Jr. ווס. Matt Korobov is a high stakes showdown that makes Saturday, דעצעמבער 7 a tremendous night of championship middleweight action live on SHOWTIME at Barclays Center in Brooklyn,” said Tom Brown, פּרעזידענט פון טגב פּראָמאָטיאָנס. “Chris Eubank Jr. is already a star in the U.K. and is poised to make a big splash in his U.S. דעבוט, while Matt Korobov is eager to build on his impressive performance in a loss to Jermall Charlo last year. Expect fireworks as Eubank and Korobov look to steal the show and walk away the title on December 7.”
This will be the first time that Eubank (28-2, 21 קאָס) has fought in the U.S. ווי אַ פאַכמאַן. Although he has competed at super middleweight, the 29-year-old from Brighton, Sussex in the United Kingdom will meet Korobov at his more natural weight of 160 pounds for the interim title. Since losing to George Groves in 2018, the son of British legend Chris Eubank Sr. has put together two victories, including the decisive unanimous decision over former super middleweight champion DeGale in his last fight in London.
“I’m ready to take the United States and the middleweight division by storm,” said Eubank. “I’m excited to come down to 160 pounds where I naturally belong, and I don’t see anybody being able to touch me at this weight class. America is where I learned how to fight as an amateur in Las Vegas and 13 years later I’m finally going to make my U.S. professional debut. I can’t wait to show the fans in the U.S. that I’m the best middleweight in the world.”
The 36-year-old Korobov (28-2-1, 14 קאָס) is coming off a majority draw against Immanuwel Aleem in his last fight in May, after serving notice to the middleweight division that he would be a threat when he lost a hard-fought decision to Jermall Charlo in December. Born in Orotukan, Russia and now living in St. פעטערבורג, פלאָרידאַ, Korobov was a late replacement and gave Charlo a tougher fight than many experts expected. Korobov had been riding a four-fight win streak before the Charlo fight, having previously lost a middleweight title fight to Andy Lee in 2014.
“I am more motivated for this fight than any other so far in my career,” said Korobov. “Against Jermall Charlo, I didn’t get the decision. אין מיין מיינונג, I won that fight at Barclays Center. This time around, I will leave no doubt against Eubank. This opportunity gives me a chance to right a wrong. Fans will see the best Matt Korobov on December 7.”

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP
BOXING® הייבט בייַ 9 פּ.ם. עט / 6 פּ.ם. PT and is headlined by
unbeaten middleweight star Charlo making the second defense of his 160-pound
title against Hogan, a tough former world title challenger who has campaigned
from super welterweight through light heavyweight.
Tickets for the live
event, which is promoted by Lions Only Promotions and TGB Promotions, are

“Jermall
Charlo is a can’t miss attraction and one of the brightest stars in
boxing,” said Tom Brown, פּרעזידענט פון טגב פּראָמאָטיאָנס. “He’ll look to
make the second defense of his WBC Middleweight Championship in his fourth
appearance at Barclays Center on December 7. He’ll have his hands full with the
hard-charging Dennis Hogan, who many believe should be a 154-pound champion and
should have earned the decision over junior middleweight champion Jaime Mungia.
That performance has put him right back in a position to fight for a title and
there’s no doubt that him and Jermall are going to leave it all in the ring and
give fans a great fight live on SHOWTIME.”
“Jermall
Charlo is one of those rare athletes who creates a spectacle every time he
steps in the ring, און דעצעמבער 7 וועט זיין ניט אַנדערש,” said Stephen
Espinoza, פּרעזידענט, ספורט & געשעעניש פּראָגראַממינג, שאָוטיים נעטוואָרקס ינק.
“Jermall is the complete package – גיכקייַט, מאַכט, athleticism and elite
talent – so it is no surprise that he is one of the most avoided boxers in his
division. Dennis Hogan deserves credit for stepping up to a challenge which
many other middleweights wouldn’t. Hogan is a tough, aggressive fighter who
many believe should already be a world champion. This is an intriguing clash of
styles and personalities.”
“We’re
looking forward to hosting another great night of Brooklyn Boxing and to
welcoming Jermall Charlo back into our ring for the fourth time,” said
Keith Sheldon, EVP of Programming and Development for BSE Global. “December’s
matchup against Dennis Hogan exemplifies our ongoing commitment to bringing
world class fights to Barclays Center featuring the sport’s most exciting
stars.”
The undefeated Charlo
(29-0, 21 קאָס) is one of the most exciting young champions in the sport. He and
his twin brother, דזשערמעלל, were super welterweight champions simultaneously
between 2015-17 before Jermall decided to move up to middleweight. Charlo won
the IBF Junior Middleweight title with a thrilling TKO victory over Cornelius
Bundrage in 2015. He made three successful defenses, including a victory over
current unified champion Julian Williams, before moving up to middleweight.
The 29-year-old has
proven to be just as dominant at 160 pounds as he was at 154, with three
convincing performances since moving up in weight. Charlo will be making his
second defense of the WBC middleweight title and fighting for the fourth time
at Barclays Center. In a homecoming defense in June on SHOWTIME, he
successfully defended the title against Brandon Adams with a unanimous decision
in his first bout since being elevated to full champion. In his last fight at
Barclays Center he shared the card with his twin brother, דזשערמעלל, and came
away with a hard-fought unanimous decision over tough veteran Matt Korobov last
December.
“Nobody knows
Dennis Hogan like I know Dennis Hogan,” האט טשאַרלאָ. “He likes to
come straight forward with that ‘Mexican’ סטיל. I’m going to exploit that.
He’s a tough fighter and he deserves a shot at the world championship because
he competed well at the championship level already.
“I’m going on two
consecutive 12-rounders and I don’t feel good about that. I’m ready to get back
to my thing, which is knocking them out and getting them out of there. This is
a big fight for me because it’s my 30טהfight and I’m about to
turn 30.”
האָגאַן (28-2-1, 7 קאָס) is
coming off a razor-thin majority decision loss to Jaime Munguia in a super
welterweight world championship match on April 13 in which many thought Hogan
did enough to pull off the victory. The 34-year-old, who was born in Ireland
and now lives in Queensland, אויסטראַליע, is looking for a clear-cut victory over
Charlo in his first U.S. fight since 2016. Hogan put together a six fight
winning streak before the title fight against Munguia.
“I am excited for
the opportunity to challenge for the most prestigious belt in boxing, the WBC
Middleweight world title against Jermall Charlo at Barclays Center,” said
Hogan. “It doesn’t get any bigger than fighting in Brooklyn on SHOWTIME
against the undefeated middleweight champion. After the disappointment I faced
in April in Mexico, having been cheated out of the WBO Junior Middleweight
world title that I strongly feel I earned, I am extremely grateful to have
another opportunity to become a world champion.
“As an Irishman,
I feel right at home in New York and have no issue traveling abroad once again
to achieve my dream. I have successfully competed at light heavyweight and
middleweight as a professional and I will feel stronger with the extra six
pounds on December 7. I’m thankful to Jermall and his team for working with my
team to provide this opportunity. I will be prepared and ready to shine.”

After back-to-back KO performances this year, Newman returns with a vengeance to face the man who owns the only blemish on his record in a rematch with Hernandez. אין 2017, with eight professional bouts on his record, Newman appeared on the Mayweather vs. McGregor undercard where he took on Hernandez, a tough rising prospect. After six rounds of what Newman calls, “the worst performance of my professional career,” judges ruled the bout a unanimous decision in favor of Hernandez. Newman took the loss in stride and bounced back with three consecutive wins and looks ahead to the rematch, while Hernandez is focused on repeating history.
Here is what the fighters had to say ahead of the November 1 רימאַטש:
On training camp:
נומאַן: “טריינינג לאַגער האט שוין געגאנגען גרויס. We’ve been working hard day in and day out, making sure we leave no stone unturned and working on a solid game plan come fight night.
“My runs and workouts have been a little longer and harder. We’re just focusing on getting better every day and pushing as hard as we can to ensure we get the W in the rematch.
“People are going to see a slightly different version of me this time around. I won’t give away any specifics, but I’m going to shock a lot of people come fight night and they will get the best Kevin Newman.”
הערנאַנדעז:“Camp has been great. איך האָבן אַ גרויס קאָלעקטיוו הינטער מיר. I expect him to come harder for this fight so we’re preparing for anything this time around. But we will remain smart at all times. There are things I’m taking with me this time around that I’ve learned and practiced in the gym. I’ve improved since our last fight so he better be ready.”
On what the importance of a win and the rivalry between the fighters:
נומאַן:“A win in this fight does a lot for my career, but it’s not just the win itself, it’s how I win that will do the most for me. Fans can expect an explosive fight. It will put me in a great place to further my career and get tougher fights, which will lead to the end goal of a title shot.
“There is definitely some animosity between us. A lot has been said, more so on his end than mine, but I just let him and his camp talk. I expect him to fight to win and I’m just going to continue to work hard like I have these past two years since the first fight. We don’t like each other, איך קענען זאָגן איר אַז, so this fight will bring fireworks and I’m just going to let me hands do the talking and get the W.”
הערנאַנדעז:“A second win will just prove that I am the better fighter.
“I always come to win; I train to win. My family will be in attendance supporting me and I know his will too, so this will be a fight with both of us having a lot to prove.
“There’s been a lot of talk going into this rematch, but none of that affects me. I’m just working hard and I’m going to come even stronger than the first fight. None of the stuff outside the ring really matters to me. I out boxed him and outfought him in 2017, and I plan to do the same again this time around, mixed with a few other tactics.”
How does it feel to fight on national television?
נומאַן:“It feels great to return and fight on national television, especially getting to fight on SHOWTIME for the first time in my career. I’m very thankful to Leonard Ellerbe and Floyd Mayweather as well as SHOWTIME for giving me this opportunity. The last time I fought on national television I put on a great display of my talent and skills, so I look forward to doing the same this time around.”
“I’m very excited for this opportunity to redeem myself. I knew this day would come, איך נאָר האט ניט וויסן ווען. I’ve won fights since the first fight and had dominant performances in the process, but nothing has filled that void. This is my opportunity to do that, so come November 1, when it’s all said and done, איך וועט זיין וויקטאָריאַס.”
הערנאַנדעז:“It’s my first time onשאָבאָקסand I’m thankful for this experience. Fans can expect a great fight. He’s a really good fighter and I won’t take anything from him. Moving up again will be a challenge, but I think I can beat him again.”

אָרלאַנדאָ, Florida’s Lubin (21-1, 16 קאָס) was one of the fastest rising contenders in boxing as he quickly raced to the top of the ladder to challenge Jermell Charlo for the WBC 154-pound championship in 2017. Following a one-punch, first-round stoppage to Charlo, the 24-year-old Lubin has rebounded with three straight stoppage victories of his own to regain his momentum toward a world championship.
In February, Lubin became the first boxer to stop former champion Ishe Smith and is coming off a TKO victory over Zaharia Attou in his last fight in June on SHOWTIME.
“It’s unfortunate that Gausha had to pull out because I was really looking forward to that fight,” said Lubin. “Now I’m facing Nathaniel Gallimore, who is a very good fighter whose only losses are to top level guys. I’m expecting a very difficult fight, one that will be explosive for the fans, but one I know I will win. It’s my time to show the world I’m ready to be back on top of the super welterweight division.”
The 31-year-old Gallimore (21-3-1, 17 קאָס) most recently defeated Antonio Todd by decision in August to rebound from close decision losses to unified champion Julian Williams and top-ranked contender Patrick Teixeira in 2018. Born in Kingston, Jamaica and fighting out of Evanston, יללינאָיס, Gallimore put together a seven-fight winning streak before the Williams fight, including knockouts of contenders Justin DeLoach and Jeison Rosario.
“I’m approaching this like any other big fight that was in the works for a long time,” said Gallimore. “I’ve been waiting for this moment in my career for a while. This is a stepping stone that can take me where I want to go. Lubin’s a pretty good boxer-puncher. He was on the rise for a moment and I knew about him coming up. עס ס געגאנגען צו זייַן אַ גרויס קאַמף. I’ll make any adjustment in the ring to capitalize on what I need to do to be victorious that night.”
Nigeria’s Ajagba (11-0, 9 קאָס) most recently passed the toughest test of his professional career when he defeated fellow 2016 Olympian Ali Eren Demirezen by 10-round unanimous decision in July. The 25-year-old Ajagba gained widespread notoriety in August 2018 when his opponent, קורטיס האַרפּער, walked out of the ring after touching gloves to start the first round. Ajagba won the fight without throwing a punch as Harper was disqualified.
Living in Stafford, Texas and training with Ronnie Shields, Ajagba has steadily increased his competition and added knockouts wins over Amir Mansour and Michael Wallisch this year.
