On the heels of an impressive performance against former mixed martial arts world champion Tyron Woodley in August, Paul looks forward to his fifth professional boxing match as he takes a sizable step up in competition and puts his undefeated record on the line. Paul, the social media sensation, has garnered unprecedented attention for a young boxer since he entered the ring against NBA star Nate Robinson and defeated him with a show-stopping knockout that made headlines around the world. Paul is now taking the next step in his young career as he goes afterLove Island reality TV star Fury, the younger brother of WBC Heavyweight World Champion Tyson Fury.

The pay-per-view telecast begins live at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and is produced and distributed by SHOWTIME PPV and it will feature other exciting high-stakes, professional boxing matches which will be announced in the coming weeks.

De 24-jarige Paul (4-0, 3 KO) is een wereldberoemde maker van inhoud. Hij begon zijn professionele boksreis in januari 2020 en heeft bewezen een invloedrijke deelnemer te zijn in het sportlandschap met zijn buitenmaatse persoonlijkheid en snel ontwikkelende vaardigheden. The Cleveland-native is fighting out of Puerto Rico under the eye of former boxing cruiserweight contender and world title challenger B.J. Bloemen, who has been training Paul from his first professional fight. After knocking out British YouTube star AnEsonGib in his debut and defeating Robinson with a knockout heard around the world, Paul maakte in april snel werk van voormalig MMA-kampioen Ben Askren met een knock-out in de eerste ronde. The win over Askren was Paul’s first victory over a seasoned professional fighter and he followed it up with an impressive performance against Woodley, arguably his most dangerous opponent to date.

“I started my professional boxing career less than two years ago on January 30th, 2020. Four fights, three pay-per-views, two as the headliner, and one sold-out arena, I’m looking forward to my toughest challenge yet and continuing to prove the critics wrong," zei Paul. “Fight a real boxer they’ve said, and that is exactly what I’m doing. An undefeated boxer from the legendary Fury bloodline. Echter, this one is more than just boxing for me. It’s for America and showing the world there is no other country that gives you the opportunity to achieve whatever you set your mind to. It’s for every young person who has a dream and dedicates their life to achieving it. On December 18th I’m continuing to fulfill my dreams and turning a Fury into a Fumbles.”

Fighting out of Manchester, Engeland, Fury started boxing at 12 jaar oud. Met 12 amateur-aanvallen, he won two regional titles and reached the U.K. national final in 2016. Fury’s first professional fight came in 2018, a win by decision. From there he proceeded to knockout or TKO his next four opponents and put the boxing world on notice. He has fought three times in 2021, including his U.S. debut on Paul’s undercard in August, where the 22-year-old earned his seventh victory against Anthony Taylor. Paul is clearly facing his biggest challenge to date in the undefeated Fury (7-0, 4 KO), who comes from a renowned family of boxers and has been trained by British star Ricky Hatton.

“Jake Paul is about to learn a serious life lesson. This is my world, and he doesn’t belong here,” said Fury. “I’m not one of these MMA men or basketball players, I have been boxing my whole life. On December 18th I will show the world the difference between a YouTuber and a real fighting man. Thanks to my promoter Frank Warren, Most Valuable Promotions and Showtime for giving me the opportunity to shut this clown up once and for all.”

#PaulFury: One Will Fall is the second live sporting event co-produced by Most Valuable Promotions, a company founded by Paul and Nakisa Bidarian on the premise that content is king, and fighters are the content creators in combat sports. Paul and Bidarian serve as Executive Producers of the #PaulFury event.

The Benavídez brothers have their sights set on impressing their hometown fans in long-awaited homecoming bouts November 13, which will mark their first time entering the ring in Phoenix since 2015.

Tickets voor de live-evenement, which is promoted by Sampson Boxing and TGB Promotions, are on sale now and are available for purchase through Ticketmaster.com.

Here is what the Benavídez brothers, plus their father and trainer Jose Benavídez Sr., had to say from training camp in North Hollywood, Californië:

DAVID BENAVÍDEZ

“Everything has been amazing in camp. We’re sparring 12-13 rounds and running six or seven miles a day. I’ve worked very hard and I can’t wait to put on a show November 13.

“Uzcátegui is a tough competitor and he was a former world champion, so I have to give him that respect. There are big fights on the horizon for me, so I have to prepare accordingly for Uzcátegui.

“I feel like I’m the better fighter. I have the better skills, more power, more speed and I’m hungrier too. It’s going to be a great night for my team. I feel like I’m going to go in there and get the knockout victory.

“A lot of people in Phoenix are excited for this one. I’m excited to go back. The timing is perfect. Voor mij, this is the biggest fight of my career. I’m ready for anything that comes my way November 13.

“We’re just focused on Uzcátegui, but of course there are bigger fights for me in the future. If I win this fight, I’m in the number one spot for whoever wins between Canelo Alvarez and Caleb Plant.

“Facing Canelo would be a huge fight in the super middleweight division, but I have to go out there on November 13 and get this victory first.

"Direct, with the level I’m at, the fighters that I’m seeking to fight are champions and former champions. Whether it’s Canelo, Plant or Jermall Charlo, I feel like we’re all going to end up facing each other at some point.

“Canelo vs. Plant is a great fight for the division. It’s a fight where both guys have a lot to prove. Those kinds of fights tend to bring the best out of everybody. There’s a lot of pressure and a lot of glory on the line, so I feel like they’re going to be the best they’ve ever been. I’m going to be ready for the winner next.

“I’ve been a pro for eight years already. I just want the biggest fights out there. This is the level I’ve been working to get to for a long time, and we’re finally here at this moment. I want to fight the best of the best and prove myself. I want to show that I’m the best super middleweight in the world.

“Uzcátegui is strong and he has a will to win, but I just believe that I have the better skill set. These are the types of fighters that I need to test myself against. It’s definitely going to be a war, but I’m going to come out on top.”

JOSÉ BENAVÍDEZ

“It feels great to be on this card with my brother, and to be making my comeback in my hometown. There’s going to be a lot of support for me. It’s a great feeling and I’m looking forward to giving my fans a great outcome.

“I had to take a break, but now I have a different kind of mindset. I just want to keep fighting, training and staying ready. I want to get to the top of the super welterweight division.

“The delay has just given me more time to train, more time to get stronger and more time to get ready. I’ve just been making the most of it.

“I’m going to be an animal on fight night. I’m coming for everything. Ik heb honger. I’ve been out of the ring for years, so I need to make a statement. That’s what I’m looking to do November 13.

“We have a great team here. We all came from nothing and we all started this journey at the same time. We learned day by day and that’s what makes our bond strong. Without my team, I wouldn’t be boxing.

“I have a lot of friends, family and fans who are coming out for my return. That’s really what’s motivating me. I’m happy that people still want to see me in the ring.

“I don’t know too much about my opponent, and I honestly don’t care, because I’m taking him down. No matter who they put in front of me, good luck to them.

“After my fight, which I’m going to end early, I’m going to be ready to walk out with my brother and support him for his fight.

“I’ve been spending a lot of time with my wife and my two daughters during this time off because there were so many things I wasn’t able to be around for earlier in my career. It’s been amazing but I’m excited to be back. I still have a lot to prove.”

JOSÉ BENAVÍDEZ SR., David and José’s Father and Trainer

“David is looking very strong right now. With every fight he gets stronger and stronger and matures more and more. He’s just getting his man strength, so I think everyone is going to see something spectacular November 13.

“Words can’t even describe how it feels to be coming back to Phoenix training my two sons for this big show. It’s something I’ve only dreamed of. Now it’s happening, and we’re super excited.

“I always have to continue adjusting and growing as a trainer. I have to understand that these are grown men now. I had to stop thinking of them as my little kids. I’m always trying to learn more so that I can support their careers as best I can.

“I’m super proud of Jose for getting to this point after his injury. Everything he does now is just extra, it’s up to him to stay focused and work hard. He’s very strong both physically and mentally and that’s why I never gave up on him.

“We’ve been dedicating ourselves and sacrificing every day so that we can give our people in Phoenix a really good show. They’re going to get an exciting night and I can’t wait.”

LOS ANGELES (Oktober 21, 2021) – Vijfvoudig wereldkampioen Gervonta "Tank" Davis en hard-hitting, ongeslagen lichtgewicht mededinger Rolando "Rolly" Romero gingen donderdag face-to-face op een persconferentie om hun showdown voor Davis 'WBA Lightweight Championship headliner live te bekijken op SHOWTIME PPV zondag, December 5 in het STAPLES Center in Los Angeles in een Premier Boxing Champions-evenement.

Davis' derde opeenvolgende pay-per-view headliner-attractie zal hem zien vechten tegen zijn uitgesproken lichtgewicht vijand Romero, terwijl de 26-jarige power-punchers hun ongeslagen records op het spel zetten. Het evenement markeert de terugkeer van Davis naar Zuid-Californië nadat hij in februari Hugo Ruiz in de eerste ronde uitschakelde voor een uitverkocht publiek. 2019.

Tickets voor de live-evenement, die wordt gepromoot door Mayweather Promotions, GTD-promoties en TGB-promoties, zijn nu te koop en te koop bij AXS.com.

Dit is wat de deelnemers aan de persconferentie donderdag te zeggen hadden vanaf City View Terrace in het STAPLES Center:

GERVONTA DAVIS

"Ik ben dankbaar dat ik hier ben om de fans weer een geweldig gevecht te geven.". Dit is wat we doen. 'Rolly' is hier alleen om te praten. Hij probeert zich een weg te banen om te winnen, maar hij is bang. Ik kom om te vechten.

“Ze praten alleen over zijn macht, maar dit is boksen. Zijn vaardigheden zijn niet vergelijkbaar met de mijne. Hij kan niet eens over macht praten, omdat iedereen weet dat ik het meeneem. Je kunt kogels schieten, maar hoe ga je jezelf verdedigen als de kogels worden teruggeschoten??

"Hij praat al heel lang". Hij probeert een gevecht te verkopen, maar ik ga hem laten zien dat hij een sukkel is in december 5. Ik ben hier niet om te praten, Ik ben hier om te vechten. Ik vat dit niet persoonlijk op. Naar mij, dit is geen rundvlees, dit is zakelijk.

"Ik was op een missie toen ik tegen Jose Pedraza vocht voor de titel". Ik deed niet de prullenbak praten. Ik ging daar naar binnen en bewees dat ik een topman ben?. Deze man is hier alleen om te praten. Ik ga het woord doen in de ring in december 5.

“Zijn trainer werkt aan niets anders dan power. Ze werken aan geen enkele vaardigheid. Hij heeft met niemand zoals ik gevochten en hij gaat het verschil zien.

"Ik heb nog nooit een gevecht afgewezen". Ik ben voor niemand bang. Ik ga tegen iedereen vechten. Ik vecht tegen een zwaargewicht. Dit is niets voor mij. Ik heb veel dingen overleefd.

"Hij zou hierheen komen en het gevecht verkopen". Ik zou moeten winnen. Ik zou hem liever straffen voor 12 rondes dan schakel hem snel uit. Een deel van mij wil hem vernederen, maar het belangrijkste is om gewoon naar buiten te gaan en de klus te klaren.

“Dit gevecht is voor de fans. De fans winnen december 5. Zorg dat je komt en steun. Ik ben dankbaar dat ik in deze positie zit. Het draait allemaal om mijn team en de mensen die me in een geweldige positie hebben gebracht."

ROLANDO ROMERO

"Iedereen gaat december zien 5, Ik ga Gervonta knock-out slaan. Ik hoop dat je dat hoort.

"Ik heb 'Tank' geroepen sinds 2017. We moesten sparren in 2018 en hij kwam niet opdagen in de sportschool. Hij deed dat twee keer omdat hij wist dat hij verslagen werd. December 5, je wordt knock-out.

“Dit is gewoon wie ik ben. Zo ben ik geboren. Ik kwam in deze sport op 17-jarige leeftijd en ik heb het meeste uit wat ik heb gedaan. Kom allemaal kijken hoe ik hem knock-out sla in december 5.

"Hij heeft zo'n groot hoofd", het zal moeilijk zijn om het te missen. Hij wordt aangeraakt door elke tegenstander die hij tegenkomt. Leo Santa Cruz sloeg hem in elkaar en Barrios kreeg hem ook te pakken.

"Hij wil de ring uit rennen als hij geraakt wordt". Het gebeurt in het sparren en bij de amateurs. Ik was degene die deze strijd moest forceren, omdat ik al jaren zie dat hij een sukkel is. Hij heeft carrière gemaakt door 126-ponders in elkaar te slaan.

“Hij weet niet de helft van de dingen die ik heb gezien en meegemaakt. Ik ben hier om hem knock-out te slaan in de ring. Hij is arrogant en probeert te doen alsof hij stoer is, maar ik sla hem knock-out.

“Manny Pacquiao heeft ook een ongemakkelijke stijl, en kijk naar alles wat hij heeft bereikt. Gewoon omdat ik anders vecht, betekent dat dat ik geen vaardigheden heb?? Ik heb mijn eigen vaardigheden en ze hebben me zo ver gebracht.

"Ik ga niet boos de ring in, Ik ben gewoon gefocust."

Floyd Mayweather, President van Mayweather Promotions

“Dit zijn twee geweldige vechters. En als ik zeg geweldig, Ik bedoel dat elke keer als ze naar buiten gaan, zij produceren. 'Tank' is een jonge jongen uit Baltimore die een droom had. Hij heeft veel meegemaakt. Hij vocht zich een weg naar de top. Daar moet je hem voor prijzen. Het maakt niet uit wat iemand zegt, hij verdiende zijn strepen.

"Ik geloof dat 'Tank' een van de beste vechters ter wereld is. 'Rolly' zegt dat hij de beste wil vechten. Kom december 5, het wordt een hels gevecht.

"'Rolly' is stoer. Hij zal tegen iedereen vechten en die gretigheid maakt dit een intrigerende matchup. 'Rolly' wil gewoon bewijzen dat hij de beste is. Hij is ook een geweldige puncher. Elke keer dat we een tegenstander aan hem presenteerden, hij heeft ze allemaal geaccepteerd.

“‘Tank’ doet recordcijfers. Ik heb hem altijd gezegd dat het te zijner tijd zou komen. Ik vertelde hem dat op dezelfde manier als ik arena's uitverkoop, je gaat op een dag hetzelfde doen. Hij had geduld en dat is wat we doen.

"Deze jongens zijn de toekomst van het boksen". Ik zie dit gevecht niet zo ver gaan. Twee ongeslagen knock-out artiesten. twee kampioenen. December 5, Ik zie iedereen daar."

CALVIN FORD, Davis' co-trainer

"Ik hoop dat je doorgaat met deze pratende 'Rolly'. We zullen zien wie er aan het eind van de nacht op december nog zal praten 5.

“Romero heeft een ongemakkelijke stijl, maar het mooie van twee coaches met ‘Tank,’ is dat er niets is waar we niet klaar voor zijn.

"Het feit dat Barry Hunter deel uitmaakt van het kamp heeft op veel manieren geholpen om 'Tank' te kalmeren. Ik denk dat iedereen de schoonheid zal zien van ons samenwerken in deze strijd.

"Ik train 'Tank' niet voor knockouts. Ik train hem om de afstand te gaan. Hij kan je van rond krijgen 1 naar 12. Dus je kunt maar beter scherp blijven.”

BARRY HUNTER, Davis' co-trainer

“Iedereen weet wat we komen doen. Ik heb waanzinnig respect voor de andere kant. Breng je A-game mee, want we gaan die van ons zeker meenemen.

"We zijn hier geboren voor dit soort dingen". Zoals iedereen zei, er is geen manier waarop dit gevecht de afstand gaat.

“Iedereen werkt hard om op zijn best te zijn, omdat we geen excuses willen als het voorbij is. Ik heb vertrouwen in Gervonta. Ik weet wat hij gaat doen."

KOGEL CROMWELL, Romero's Trainer

"Ik weet wat iedereen zegt over wie de kampioen hierin komt kijken, maar de kampioen werd geen kampioen geboren, hij moest ook opstaan. Net als een jonge leeuw, 'Rolly' is klaar om te stijgen.

“Ik ben een LA. vent. Als we hier terugkomen?, we vechten voor een erfenis. Het is niet alleen een riem en geld.

"Ik vertelde 'Rolly' dat Gervonta Davis in de weg staat om je familie en je nalatenschap te veranderen. We hebben een klus te klaren.

"Ik geef niet om puur boksen of welke stijl dan ook". ik heb karate gedaan, straatvechten en boksen, en ik heb alles bij elkaar gezet. Gecombineerd met een puncher met ‘Rolly’s’ power, en met zijn grind en grit, het is een perfecte match.

“Ik heb veel respect voor ‘Tank’ en zijn team. Hij is een geweldige vechter, maar Rolly is de volgende. Hij wordt op 5 december de nieuwe WBA-kampioen."

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO van Mayweather Promotions

“We zijn verheugd om dit enorme evenement op zondag naar Los Angeles te brengen in het STAPLES Center, December 5. Dit is een geweldige matchup en de fans zouden enthousiast moeten zijn. Er is al veel geroezemoes en de tickets gaan hard.

"Deze vechters verachten elkaar echt". Dat zie je zelden bij boksen. In 2019, ik en Floyd waren bij de Errol Spence Jr. vs. Mikey Garcia en we waren aan het praten en plotseling waren Davis en Romero klaar om op de eerste rang te beginnen. Floyd vertelde hen dat ze het in de ring konden doen, en nu zijn we hier.

"'Tank' is zonder twijfel de meest opwindende jager ter wereld. Hij is ook een van de grootste attracties en een van de beste vechters ter wereld. 'Rolly' heeft laten weten dat hij 'Tank' aan het 'trollen' is en ik weet zeker dat in december 5, 'Tank' zal doen wat hij kan om 'Rolly' het zwijgen op te leggen.

"'Rolly' is een zeer explosieve vechter en elke keer dat hij de ring instapt, hij probeert zijn tegenstander daar weg te krijgen. Het ontbreekt hem nooit aan vertrouwen en hij heeft er alle vertrouwen in dat in december 5 hij klaart de klus.

“Met twee geweldige power punchers zoals deze, er is geen manier dat dit gevecht niet eindigt in een knock-out. Stem af in december 5 en verwacht dat iemand knock-out wordt geslagen.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Voorzitter van SHOWTIME Sports

“Voor SHOWTIME-sporten, 2021 is een van de sterkste jaren ooit geweest. We hebben in totaal 42 events, waarvan de helft eindigde in knock-outs. In december 5, Ik verwacht dat dit niet zo ver gaat, beide, met deze twee harde hitters.

“Week na week, jaar na jaar, SHOWTIME blijft de standaard van deze sport. Niemand in vechtsporten trekt beter aan, of meer betekenisvolle gevechten dan wij.

“Als we Gervonta’s binnenkomen 11th vecht met SHOWTIME, hij is nog nooit down geweest, en hij is blijven stralen. Wanneer andere vechters praten, 'Tank' vecht en verkoopt arena's.

“‘Rolly’ is ook nog nooit neergehaald als prof. Hij is een harde hitter en is een van de beste talenten in het boksen, en hij zal de eerste zijn om het je te vertellen.”

LAS VEGAS (Oktober 18, 2021) – Three high-stakes matchups featuring former world champions, top contenders and rising future champions have been added to the highly anticipated SHOWTIME PPV event headlined by Canelo Álvarez en Caleb “Sweethands” Plant battling for the undisputed super middleweight championship on Saturday, November 6 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Two-time super middleweight world champion Anthony "De Hond" Dirrell will square off against exciting contender “Madman” Marcos Hernández in the 10-round co-main event, while unbeaten former super bantamweight world champion Koning Vargas returns to action against Mexico’s Leonardo Báez in een 10-round aantrekking. Kicking off the pay-per-view at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT, super lightweight contenders Elvis Rodríguez en Juan Pablo Romero will duel in a 10-round showdown.

Tickets for the live event are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com. The event is promoted by Canelo Promotions and TGB Promotions and sponsored by Hennessy and Value.

Dirrell (33-2-2, 24 KO), a two-time WBC 168-pound world champion, won the title for the first time with a unanimous decision over Sakio Bika in 2014. The native of Flint, me. dropped the title the next year to Badou Jack by majority decision, before putting together six straight victories to get back into position to fight for the championship again. He captured the title for a second time in 2019, winning a technical decision victory over Avni Yildirim. Meest recent, Dirrell battled Kyrone Davis to a draw in February, in his first fight since a title fight defeat against David Benavidez in September 2019.

"Ik ben helemaal klaar voor deze strijd,” said Dirrell. “I know Hernandez is a tough competitor and I’m sure he’ll have a lot of fans there since we’re fighting on the same card as Canelo. But I know I’m ready to fight on the big stage and on a card of this magnitude. I fought on the Errol Spence Jr. vs. Shawn Porter undercard and I think this fight night is going to have a similar feel. I’m just prepared to do whatever I have to do to get the victory. The fans should expect fireworks. I’m not shying away from the action and hopefully I can get the winner of Canelo vs. Plant if I perform well on November 6.”

Fighting out of Fresno, Calif., Hernández (15-4-2, 3 KO) has faced excellent competition in his career, battling a litany of tough fellow rising contenders. The 28-year-old most recently scored an impressive unanimous decision victory over previously unbeaten Armando Resendiz in September. In addition to his recent triumph, Hernández has twice faced former unified super welterweight champion Jeison Rosario, fighting to a draw in their first meeting before losing the rematch. He has also taken down then-unbeaten fighters in Kevin Newman II and Thomas Hill.

“I’m having a great training camp for this fight coming off of my performance in early September,"Said Hernandez. “As always, the fans can expect me to bring an entertaining fight. I know that I’m up against a former world champion who’s accomplished a lot in his career. I’m just focusing on working hard every day to get the victory and everything that will come with it.”

The former WBC Super Bantamweight World Champion, Vargas (34-0, 22 KO) will return from layoff due to injury when he enters the ring on November 6. The 30-year-old went on the road to the U.K. to capture his title in 2017, winning a decision over previously unbeaten Gavin McDonnell. A native of Mexico City, Vargas made five successful defenses of his title, defeating top contenders including Oscar Negrete, Ronny Rios and Azat Hovhannisyan. His last fight and fifth successful title defense came via a unanimous decision over former world champion Tomoki Kameda in July 2019.

“I’m very happy for my return to the ring and my debut with PBC,”Zei Vargas. “You are going to see a renewed Rey Vargas on November 6. My opponent is a good fighter with speed who throws a lot of combinations. It will be a tough fight, but I know I have what it takes to win. I couldn’t be happier to be on the big stage on Canelo’s undercard. I know that I have to shine on fight night, take advantage of this showcase, and deliver a great fight for the fans.”

The Baja California, Mexico native Báez (21-4, 12 KO) enters this fight the winner of his last three outings, all coming by TKO. The 26-year-old put together the winning streak after defeats to the previously unbeaten Carlos Caraballo and former title challenger Jason Moloney. Báez, who has fought professionally since 2013, will fight in the U.S. for the fourth time on November 6. Amongst his stateside outings, Báez dominated former interim champion Moises Flores on his way to earning a unanimous decision in February 2020.

“I’m excited for this great challenge on November 6,” said Báez. “I’m planning on giving the fans a true Mexican war and leaving it all in the ring to get the victory. It’s an honor to fight on the Canelo undercard and I’m going to make the most of it. This is going to be a toe-to-toe war, and I’m going to show that he’s not able to stand up to my power and aggression.”

Rodríguez (11-1-1, 10 KO) burst onto the scene with knockout victories in 10 van zijn eerste 11 gevechten. He capped off a five-win 2020 campaign with a knockout of Cameron Krael in October and a decision victory against Luis Alberto Veron four months later. Fighting out of his native Santo Domingo, Dominicaanse Republiek, Rodríguez most recently dropped a narrow majority decision against Kenneth Sims Jr. in mei.

“I am very thankful to my team for getting me this tremendous opportunity opening up the pay-per-view for the biggest fight of the year,”Zei Rodríguez. “I have a tough opponent in front of me, but I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m ready to show everyone that I’m the real deal. My goal remains the same, and that’s to win a world title in 2022. Eerste, I am just focused on November 6 and making sure I take advantage of the opportunity that a victory will produce on my road to the world title.”

Romero (14-0, 9 KO) werd professional in 2017 after fighting for his native Mexico at the 2016 Olympische Spelen. The 31-year-old dispatched solid veterans Nestor Armas, Nestor Gonzalez and Ranses Payano in 2019, before earning a 10-round decision over Sergio Torres Alvarado in his only 2020 wedstrijd. Romero made it back-to-back 10-round unanimous decision triumphs in April of this year, as he won his U.S. debut by defeating Deiner Berrio. Throughout his extensive amateur career, Romero owns an impressive victory over unbeaten welterweight contender Gabriel Maestre.

“I’m very excited that my team was able to get me this great opportunity to fight on a Canelo show in Las Vegas,”Zei Romero. “I feel just as happy and excited to fight as I did for the Olympic games. I’m going to prove what I’m made of on November 6. No matter who my opponent is, I always train hard and prepare to do whatever I can to earn the victory.”

Tickets nu te koop!

LAS VEGAS (Oktober 13, 2021) – WBA Welterweight Champion Jamal “Shango” James will defend his title against unbeaten contender Radzhab Butaev in a 12-round duel that headlines a night of action live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Oktober 30 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

Het SHOWTIME KAMPIOENSCHAP BOKSEN® uitzending begint om 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and features rising welterweight star Jaron "Boots" Ennis in a 10-round showdown against veteran contender Thomas Dulorme in de co-main event. Kicking off the telecast, exciting unbeaten lightweight contender Michel Rivera faces Argentina’s Matías Romero in een 10-round aantrekking.

Tickets voor de live-evenement, die wordt bevorderd door TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com. Ennis tegen. Dulorme is promoted in association with D&D Boksen. Rivera vs. Romero is promoted in association with Sampson Boxing.

“A stacked lineup of top contenders and up-and-coming future champions will be on full display October 30 on SHOWTIME in Las Vegas,”Zei Tom Brown, President van TGB Promotions. “Jamal James has battled his way to the highest levels of the welterweight division and will get one step closer to gathering elite status if he can overcome the unbeaten Radzhab Butaev. The undercard bouts will also feature two rising stars, as Jaron Ennis and Michel Rivera look to impress in tough matchups on a big stage.”

Minneapolis’ James (27-1, 12 KO) returns to action after his previous outing saw him earn an interim title by defeating Thomas Dulorme in August 2020, before later being upgraded to the “regular” championship. The 33-year-old is riding a seven-bout winning streak that includes triumphs over Abel Ramos, Diego Gabriel Chaves and Antonio DeMarco, with four of those matchups coming in his hometown, where he has grown a rabid fan base. With a win on October 30, James moves nearer to a potential rematch of his first and only defeat against WBA Welterweight World Champion Yordenis Ugas.

“Training is and has been at 100%,” said James. “I’m excited to finally get back in the ring and defend my title. This will be the fight where I show everyone why I’m elite in this profession and should be recognized as one of the best.”

The 27-year-old Butaev (13-0, 10 KO) will finally square off against James in a long-awaited matchup ordered by the WBA. Butaev turned pro after approximately 400 amateur bouts in 2016 and reeled-off KOs in six of his first seven outings. Originally from Russia and now fighting out of Brooklyn, N.Y., Butaev returned to the ring in December 2020, stopping previously unbeaten Terry Chatwood in the third round.

“We’ve been working hard for a year leading up to this fight,” said Butaev. “Everything is going really well in camp and we’re excited to finally get in the ring against James. I’ve seen how James fights and it’s definitely going to be a clash of styles. I can just promise that I’m going to bring the war and make this an exciting fight. I’m going to start writing my history on October 30.”

Ennis (27-0, 25 KO) is de nieuwste in het pantheon van uitstekende Philadelphia-strijders, sublieme boksvaardigheden combineren met natuurlijke kracht in beide handen. Na talloze optredens op ShoBox: The New Generation, the 24-year-old Ennis graduated to headlining his first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast in his last outing in April, as he became the first fighter to stop former world champion Sergey Lipinets. The knockout victory gave Ennis 17 KOs in his last 18 gevechten, with the only blemish being a no-decision in the first round against Chris van Heerden in December 2020.

“I’m glad to be back in the ring October 30 on SHOWTIME in Las Vegas,”Zei Ennis. “This is another step towards becoming world champion! They haven’t seen nothing yet. It’s time for me to continue to shine and be great. I can’t wait to show out and have some fun.”

De 31-jarige Dulorme (25-5-1, 16 KO) heeft een solide cv verzameld op 140 en 147 pond tijdens zijn carrière, klimmen in de ring met wereldkampioen Yordenis Ugas, Jessie Vargas en Terence Crawford. Geboren in Marigot, Guadeloupe but representing Carolina, Puerto Rico, Dulorme herstelde zich van een verlies tegen Crawford voor een titel van 140 pond door back-to-back knock-outs te scoren, followed by a narrow decision loss to Ugas. The world title challenger is coming off solid efforts in back-to-back decision losses against Jamal James and Eimantas Stanionis.

“I think in the Stanionis fight I demonstrated that I am still at the top level,” said Dulorme. “A lot of people told me I won that fight and I thought I did too. I’m excited to face Ennis because he’s a good fighter, but he hasn’t fought anyone like me. The fans can expect another great performance from me on SHOWTIME.”

Geboren in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and now fighting out of Miami, Fla. Rivera (21-0, 14 KO) burst onto the scene in 2019, making his U.S. debut with a victory over Juan Rene Tellez. The 23-year-old continued his ascent in 2020, adding a stoppage win against Fidel Maldonado Jr. and a unanimous decision triumph against lightweight contender LaDarius Miller. Rivera has continued his dominance with a pair of knockout victories in 2021, stopping Anthony Mercado in February before most recently delivering a highlight-reel knockout of Jon Fernandez in July on SHOWTIME.

“Romero made a big mistake taking this fight,"Zei Rivera. “What he’s seen from me in the gym, is not the same thing that he’s going to see on fight night. He is far from a fight night fighter. He folds under pressure or runs. Hij is een goede vechter, but he’s not at my level. I won’t let him go the distance like Isaac Cruz did. Op oktober 30, I’m going to give him the beating of his lifetime.”

Romero (24-1, 8 KO) made his stateside debut in March, dropping a competitive decision to top lightweight contender Isaac Cruz on SHOWTIME. Eerder, the Cordoba, Argentina native picked up a pair of victories in 2020, winning a 12-round decision over Javier Jose Clavero in November, while stopping Gabriel Gustavo Ovejero in March. Een pro sinds 2015, the 25-year-old will look to bounce back from his first defeat and move into title contention against another elite 135-pound opponent.

“Rivera and I have the same promoter and I personally requested for Sampson Lewkowicz to let me fight him when I saw he had no opponent,”Zei Romero. “I am willing to step in because I know I can beat him. We have trained at the same gym, but never sparred. His style is perfect for my style. This is going to be another victory for me to add to my collection.”

LOS ANGELES (September 21, 2021) – Boxing’s consensus No. 1 pound-for-pond vechter, Mexican superstar and unified WBA/WBC/WBO Super Middleweight World Champion Canelo Álvarez and undefeated IBF Super Middleweight World Champion Caleb “Sweethands” Plant met for an intense stare down that turned into a scuffle Tuesday at a press conference previewing their historic and highly anticipated undisputed super middleweight championship showdown.

During an extended face-off that kicked off the event, the fighters exchanged words and threw glancing blows before their respective teams rushed the stage to separate the combatants, escalating a rivalry that will culminate on fight night in just over six weeks.

Canelo and Plant will battle on Saturday, November 6, live on SHOWTIME PPV at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas in a Premier Boxing Champions event, with the winner stamping his name in the history books as the first undisputed 168-pound world champion of the four-belt era.

Tickets for the live event are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com. The event is promoted by Canelo Promotions and TGB Promotions and sponsored by Hennessy and Value.

Eddy Reynoso, Canelo’s trainer and manager, and Justin Gamber, Plant’s trainer, joined their fighters on stage at the event in Beverly Hills. Dit is wat de deelnemers aan de persconferentie dinsdag te zeggen hadden:

CANELO ÁLVAREZ

“You are not on my level and you will see on November 6. You don’t want to fight now, Ik beloof je.

“We come from nothing and we worked hard to be here. For somebody to lie and talk trash about us, that upset Eddy. It is what it is though. We just have to show everyone who we are on November 6.

“Caleb might be on the same level as Billy Joe Saunders and Callum Smith, but he’s not on my level. I respect that he isn’t here to back down. You can see from today that this is definitely going to be a good fight.

“I know what I need to do and I know a lot about him. He’s a good fighter but I know my skills. My experience is going to give me the edge in the fight. I have faced similar styles to Caleb’s against Floyd Mayweather, Erislandy Lara, Austin Trout and Saunders.

“He’s an insecure person and that’s why he came with a lot of excuses about lots of things. I don’t care about it though. I’m just going to do my best on November 6 and win the fight.

“To be undisputed is history for Mexico and for everyone on my team. To be the undisputed champion is just a great thing for my career.

On the on-stage scuffle: “You can say whatever to me, but not to my mom. I’m going to fight anyone who says something about my mom. And he swung first. I just pushed him. He swung first, and I do what I do. He crossed the line.

“It will be over in eight rounds or less. I’m going to knock out this guy. Easy.”

CALEB PLANT

“I know only one thing better than proving people right, and that’s proving people wrong. I’ve been doing that my whole life. As soon as I stepped on the stage, people started talking about what I can’t accomplish and what I can’t do. Waar ik vandaan kom, there is no boxing community. There was no other pro I could look to and say that if he can do it, then I can do it. All I had was my mind and my heart.

“I don’t do this to be famous or to get attention. When I first started, it was just me and my dad. No one thought I’d be standing here today. I can remember him and my grandfather scrounged up a little bit of money to open a little boxing gym. There was just one heavy bag hanging in the corner. But when you really want something, you don’t need all the fancy things. You just need your mind and your heart.

“I know that people don’t believe me when I tell them I’m winning on November 6. All those people who tell me that I can’t do something, you live believable lives and you do believable things. I promised myself that I was going to run this all the way to the top, with no problem crashing and burning along the way. I set out to live an unbelievable life and accomplish unbelievable things. Those people who doubt me are the very reason that I’m here.

“Miguel Cotto’s brother can make you do the chicken dance but I can’t? Oke. Mark my words, on november 6 you will hear the words, ‘And the new undisputed super middleweight champion,’ but you will also hear the words, ‘and still undefeated.’

“Being undisputed would mean a lot. I’ve sacrificed so much to this sport and I’ve been doing this a long time. All that work would come down to one moment. I want my name in those history books and that’s the only reason that I’m here.

On the on-stage scuffle: “We just had some normal back-and-forth banter up there and then whatever happened, is gebeurd. It’s none of my concern though. I’m focused and locked in on November 6.”

EDDY REYNOSO, Canelo’s Trainer and Manager

“I think this is going to be a great fight, one where we unify the 168-pound division. As we do with every fight, we’re going to work hard in the gym. We’ve always worked hard in the gym.

“I’m a little upset by how things turned out today, but in the end we will settle things in the ring on November 6.

“The offensive language is what offended us the most. We are respectful people, and we move forward from this with our heads held up high. Now we are going to train well, win the fight and see what comes next after that.


“There are a lot of people who say things on social media but then they don’t show up. Some people want to take down a whole country and a great athlete that represents his country. They talk a lot of trash. You need to work hard though. You need to have guts to work as hard as we do.”

JUSTIN GAMBER, Plant’s Trainer

“I want to thank our whole team for believing in us and getting us this fight that we wanted and this opportunity to make history. It’s been blood sweat and tears, letterlijk, to get here. It’s been a long journey. This fight is not about money, it’s about legacy.

"In 1996, when I was 15-years-old, my favorite fighter was the IBF Super Middleweight World Champion Roy Jones Jr. Every fan back then craved an undisputed champion at 168-pounds and now I train the IBF champion and we’re going to be fighting for all of the marbles.

“Tune in on November 6 and you will see the first undisputed super middleweight champion of the world and he’s from Tennessee. Anything that happened today at this press conference is going to drive us and give us more hunger.

TOM BROWN, President van TGB Promotions

“It took a couple of tries, but here we are today with the undisputed super middleweight championship on November 6. It’s a real pleasure to be working with our network partners at SHOWTIME for this event. SHOWTIME has a long history of being involved in the sports’ biggest and most important events and that continues with this fight.

“It’s an honor to be working with the pound-for-pound king Canelo Álvarez, Eddy Reynoso and everyone with Canelo Promotions. I’m also thrilled to be back working with everyone on team Plant. I promoted Caleb’s pro debut in 2014 and it’s great to see him up here today in this position.

“Canelo holds three titles, while Caleb owns the fourth title in the 168-pound division. They’ll battle to become the first undisputed champ in the four-belt era. History will be made on November 6 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President, Showtime Sport

“2021 has been a phenomenal year for SHOWTIME Boxing. It’s one of our most prolific years in recent memory. SHOWTIME has delivered 17 live boxing events so far this year, with several more to come. Eight world championship fights, multiple world title unifications and now two fights for the undisputed title as a very good year for SHOWTIME becomes a great year for SHOWTIME. SHOWTIME is the home of big fights. It’s the most trusted and longest-tenured network in boxing. There is no other network making a more meaningful or more significant commitment to the sport of boxing. We are the home of boxing’s biggest and best fights.

“We are proud to welcome Canelo Álvarez back to SHOWTIME. We also welcome Caleb Plant for his SHOWTIME debut. It was almost nine years ago – September 15, 2012 – that Canelo made his debut on SHOWTIME in a thrilling fight against Josesito Lopez. Nine years is a long time. That was a very young Canelo Álvarez and a very young Eddy Reynoso. That started an impressive run of fights in which Canelo demonstrated his willingness, desire and demand to take the toughest fights available. Together back in 2013, we set a record at the time for the biggest pay-per-view of all time as we helped launch Canelo as boxing’s newest pay-per-view star. Now nine years later, we are proud to welcome him back for this mega fight.”

#3-Phil Davis (23-6) verslagen Yoel Romero (13-6) via unaniem besluit (30-27, 28-29, 30-26)

Phil Davis had dit te zeggen na zijn overwinning op Yoel Romero: "Zes jaar geleden, Ik maakte mijn Bellator-debuut hier in San Jose, en ik ben het helemaal vergeten – het is een van mijn grootste fouten ooit – Ik vergat een van mijn beste vrienden aan te moedigen, training partners, huisgenoten bij Penn State. Hij lag in het ziekenhuis met kanker en ik vergat hem aan te moedigen. Uiteindelijk verloor hij zijn strijd tegen kanker. Nu, Ik wil dat moment rechtzetten door gewoon te zeggen dat mijn vader en moeder, die geweldig zijn en alles zijn wat ik wens dat een mama en papa zouden kunnen zijn, zijn gewoon geweldig. Afgelopen september, twee weken voor mijn gevecht met Lyoto Machida, mijn moeder belt me ​​en zegt dat ze kwaadaardige borstkanker heeft, dus moest ze dat gaan regelen. Precies drie dagen later vertelde mijn vader me dat hij agressieve prostaatkanker had. Twee weken later moest ik gaan vechten tegen The Dragon. Ik moest op een aantal manieren echt diep graven en ik wil gewoon tegen mijn mama en papa zeggen – door Gods genade zijn ze er nog, mijn moeder is in de menigte, mijn vader zit huilend naar de tv te staren – Ik hou van jullie en ik kan dit niet zonder jullie. Jullie zijn geweldig."

#4-Neiman Gracie (11-2) verslagen Mark Lemminger (12-4) via TKO (stoten) bij 1:27 van de eerste ronde

Neiman Gracie maakte duidelijk wie hij hierna wil: “Ik hoef geen mensen meer neer te halen om gevechten te winnen. Ik kan het allemaal, maar als ik je neerhaal, oh jongen. Ik zag dat hij zijn hoofd naar beneden hield, dus ik kwam met de uppercut. Als je de strijd staande houdt, het is het ziekenhuis. Als je naar de grond gaat, het is de begraafplaats. Er zijn een paar jongens waar ik tegen wil vechten. Ik wil vechten tegen MVP. Ik heb deze man voor altijd geroepen en het gevecht gebeurt nooit. Ze hebben altijd een ander excuus. Ik wil mijn rematch met Jason Jackson... en ik wil Mr. Yaroslav Amosov,, Ik heb de slechtste wedstrijd voor hem en ik denk dat ik degene ben die hem zijn eerste verlies zal bezorgen."

DeAnna Bennett (11-7-1) verslagen #5-Alejandra Lara (9-5) via unaniem besluit (30-27, 30-26, 30-26)

DeAnna Bennett na haar unanieme beslissingswinst: “Ik kan je niet beschrijven hoe ik me nu voel. Deze plek betekent alles voor mij. Ik ben geboren en getogen in de Bay Area... Ik ben zo blij om haar te zijn die in deze kooi voor Bellator vecht met al deze fans hier. Mijn vader, hij is hier bij me ... Hij wist altijd dat ik hier zou vechten en mijn hand zou opsteken in dit gebouw. Ik wilde die eerste ronde zo graag eindigen, maar Alejandra, ze is zo stoer, zo stoer. Je kunt geen goed gevecht hebben met slechts één persoon. Beide vechters moeten geweldige vechters zijn om een ​​goede show neer te zetten, dus de helft van deze overwinning is van haar omdat ze in de kooi komt en een goede tegenstander is en bereid is om alles daar neer te zetten, net zoals ik deed. Ik voelde me beter in de stand-up dan op de grond ... eerlijk gezegd heeft veel daarvan gewerkt met mijn coach hier Brian Wright (sp?) Hier bij Killer Bee. Ik heb deze heropleving in mijn carrière aan hem te danken, omdat hij me echt heeft geholpen om de vechter te worden, goed afgerond worden. Ik heb in het verleden veel coaches gehad die zo waren:, "Als je geen takedown krijgt", je gaat geen gevecht winnen" nou, boom, het lijkt erop dat ik net een gevecht heb gewonnen.'

Saul Rogers (15-4) verslagen Georgi Karakhanyan (31-12-1, 1 NC) via unaniem besluit (30-27, 30-26, 30-26)

Na de overwinning, Saul Rogers had dit te zeggen: “Het voelde geweldig. Ik heb mezelf te lang vermoord om te proberen te bezuinigen op 145 en nu ik ben verhuisd, Ik voel me sterker, Ik voel me dominanter. Ik ben altijd goed in guillotines, maar vanavond, geen van die guillotines was zelfs maar dichtbij – Ik was niet in gevaar. Maar de knie, hij sloeg me met één schoon en toen kwam de tweede niet zo schoon door en ik probeerde gewoon beschermd te blijven. Maar jij zoals je zag in de strijd, Ik had een grote glimlach op mijn gezicht. Ik hou van die sh*t, je weet wat ik bedoel? Ik voel me kilometers beter. In andere gevechten, na misschien ongeveer twee en een halve minuut, mijn handen vergassen en ik had toen niets om door te gaan. Ik controleerde hem drie ronden en ik voel me nog steeds goed om te gaan. Elk van deze vechters die aan de vooravond staan ​​en nog steeds zelfmoord plegen?, neem het van mij aan, omhoog gaan, gezonder zijn, Wees gelukkiger, een langere carrière hebben. Het is veel beter."

Ben Parrish (5-1) verslagen#8-Christian Edwards (5-1) via KO (stoten) bij 0:38 van de eerste ronde

Ben Parrish na zijn schokkende knock-out van Christian Edwards: “Het voelt goed om veel mensen het zwijgen op te leggen, man dat is alles wat ik zal zeggen. Ik vertelde mijn baas, Casey, thuis, Ik sla hem knock-out met een linkse hoek. Wat zei ik?? Krijg het niet verdraaid, iedereen zal een excuus vinden om zout over me te gooien – he, dat is geen geluk, dat is voorbereiding, baby. Als ik het niet kan met zes maanden training, versla hem, niemand zou hem verslaan."

Laat een reactie achter
(Broken Arrow, OK) As part of Showtime’s 20th anniversary season of ShoBox: The New Generation, deze vrijdag, September 24, 2021, Salita Promotions will return to one of the most unique fight venues in the United States, outdoors in the City of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma’s arts and entertainment district, for a live tripleheader broadcast featuring six prospects boasting combined records of 72-2-1.


Set in the middle of the scenic city’s town square, in the 10-round bantamweight main event bout, 26-year-old Detroit native Ja’Rico O’Quinn (14-0-1, 8 KO) will face California’s 24-year-old Saul Sanchez (16-1, 9 KO). The co-main event will pit undefeated featherweight prospects Jayvon Garnett (10-0, 5 KO) and Luis Reynaldo Nunez (11-0, 8 KO) against each other in a ten-round bout and in the opener, Alejandro Guerrero (12-1, 9 KO) faces the undefeated Otar Eranosyan (9-0, 6 KO) in een super vedergewicht wedstrijd van acht ronden.


The event will be Salita Promotions’ second attempt to stage a fight at the outdoor boxing hotbed. In Augustus 2019, a Salita event featuring undefeated Uzbek Shohjahon Ergashev had to be moved to the nearby confines of the Central Park Community Center due to rain.


“I am thrilled that Showtime selected Broken Arrow for these boxing matches during ShoBox’s 20th anniversary,” said Broken Arrow Mayor Debra Wimpee. “I can’t think of a better place to showcase these amazing athletes than right here in the beautiful and award-winning Rose District. The atmosphere on Main St. is going to be like nothing we’ve seen before, and I’m excited that a global audience will get to see what we Broken Arrowans have known all along. The Rose District and our citizens are second to none when it comes to celebrating the arts and entertainment.”


Promoter Dmitriy Salita says he’s hopeful this time the weather will cooperate and set the stage for an unforgettable setting for the fights Friday night.


“I am honored to promote the September 24 ShoBox in such a unique outside setting,”Zei Salita. “The City of Broken Arrow have been wonderful hosts and we are happy to be returning for this out-of-the-ordinary ShoBox event. The weather reports are favorable this time and we have a fantastic show lined up with crossroads fights, top to bottom.”


In the unlikely event of inclement weather, the show will once again relocate to Central Park Community Center at 1500 S. Main St.


O’Quinn vs. Sanchez – 10-Round Bantamweight Main Event Bout


Previously rated in the top-ten in the world by the WBO at 115 pond, O’Quinn last fought at 118 pounds in a dominating unanimous decision over Oscar Vasquez in the 250th edition of ShoBox in January 2020. Ranked as the No. 1 amateur bantamweight in the country compiling a record of 130-18 voordat hij professioneel in 2015, O’Quinn boasts blazing-fast hands and an ability to throw effortless combinations. A fan favorite in his hometown of Detroit, he was busy in 2018 en 2019, winning three times in each year, with five of the six fights taking place in his home state of Michigan.


“I’ve been waiting for this moment,” said O’Quinn. “I can’t wait to show my talent to the world again. I don’t really know much about him, but he better learn all he can about me. Not that it will help him any. I’m going to win because there are levels to this and he is not on my level. That will be very apparent quickly. I’m a strong force in the bantamweight division. Training is going good but it’s hard. I train hard and fight easy.”


De 24-jarige Sanchez, die is gerangschikt nr. 8 by the WBA at 118 pond, is riding a four-fight winning streak. Zijn laatste time-out, Sanchez made quick work of Frank Gonzalez, knocking him down three times en route to a first-round stoppage. The Pacoima, Calif. native scored an eighth-round stoppage of Brandon Benitez in an entertaining and all-action fight in his ShoBox debut in May 2019. He dropped his next fight, a split decision to Edwin Rodriguez, but rebounded with a unanimous decision over Victor Trejo Garcia to jumpstart his winning streak. Trained by Manny Robles, Sanchez is the younger brother of 19-1 professional featherweight Emilio Sanchez.


“This is the biggest fight of my career on the biggest stage of my career, and I’m not going to let this opportunity pass me by,”Zei Sanchez. “I’m going to show everyone watching on SHOWTIME that I belong with the big boys. O’Quinn is a good fighter but I’m going to give him his first loss. I’m at a point in my career where I need to make that turning point to a world title shot, and that time is now.”


Garnett vs. Nunez – 10-Round Super Featherweight Bout


Jayvon Garnett hails from the boxing talent-laden city of Cincinnati, Ohio, where he first put on a pair of boxing gloves at the age of six. He had a stellar amateur career fighting over 110 tijden, developing his style and sharpening his skills in Ohio’s very competitive amateur boxing scene. The 26-year-old is coming off his career-best professional win, a unanimous decision over the once-beaten Jose Argel in June. Combining exceptional quickness and accuracy with a propensity for power, the 5’3” Garnett stopped five of his first six professional opponents. He has won his last four contests on the scorecards, all unanimously.


“It feels great to be fighting on SHOWTIME,” said Garnett. “I always dreamed of fighting on big platforms, but never dreamed it would be ShoBox for my first TV fight. Ik weet niet veel over mijn tegenstander, but I will win this fight because I’m smarter. In de ring, I’m a boxer and a thinker, but I also have heavy punches. Met deze overwinning, I’m going to the next level up the ladder and getting closer to being in the world rankings.”


A decorated amateur in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Plata’s Luis Reynaldo Nunez started boxing at age eight and went on to win a number of national championships as a member of the Dominican national team, including gold in the 2016 Youth Championship. A fan-friendly pressure fighter with heavy hands, Nunez turned professional at 18, passing every test put in front of him in his native country. His unblemished resume includes a unanimous decision over then 20-3-1 Eliezer Aquino and a fourth-round KO over then once-beaten Giovanni Gutierrez.


“I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to be fighting on SHOWTIME,” said the 21-year-old Nunez, who will be fighting outside of the Dominican Republic for the first time. “My opponent is a good fighter but I am here to show him what happens against real competition. Thanks to my team for getting me this opportunity and I look forward to making a splash on national television.”


Guerrero vs. Eranosyan – Eight-Round Lightweight Bout


Uitvechten van Houston, Texas, Guerrero is a big-punching prospect who will be making his third appearance on ShoBox, looking to improve his record to 2-1 on the prospect development series. He won a closely contested slugfest via majority decision over Jose Angulo in March 2020, but was upset by Abraham Montoya in February. Een gevierde amateur die twee junior nationale titels won, the 23-year-old “Pork Chop” has sparred with the likes of world champions Mikey Garcia and Brandon Rios at the famed Garcia Boxing Academy in California.


“Training is going great,'Zei Guerrero. “I’ve been in shape for two months so now it’s just touching up basic stuff here and there with my technique. I know Eranosyan will be tough, so we’re going in with a strong mind knowing he can fight. I’m training hard because I will have to be more than ready. The guy will not be a walk in the park. But I have a different mentality now. The last fight, I went in with the mentality of ‘I can beat everybody.’ This one, I have to go in with a smart mind and actually box the guy and use all my skills.”


Ranked No. 9 by the WBA at 130 pond, Eranosyan was a highly decorated Georgian amateur who has transitioned seamlessly into the paid ranks. The 27-year-old didn’t turn professional until August 2020, but has already fought nine times. Now based in Miami Beach, Fla., “Pitbull” owns two notable fourth-round KOs over the 32-4 Juan Carlos Pena, including in his last time out on August 13. Eranosyan will make his ShoBox debut as he fights for the seventh time in 2021, which also marks his first pro fight outside of Florida.


“I haven’t studied Guerrero too much, but I watched a couple fights and he’s a good fighter with very good punching power and very good stamina,” said Eranosyan. “I’m adding a lot of stamina training and working on my legs for this fight to be ready for him. I don’t know exactly what will happen, but simply I am the best in the division, so I will win.”
