SAN ANTONIO (Febbraio. 12, 2018) – Undefeated 140-pound contender and San Antonio-native Mario Barrios dovrà affrontare Eudy Bernardo in a 10-round bout on SHOWTIME BOXING on SHO EXTREME Sabato, Marzo 10 from Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio.
The SHO EXTREME telecast begins live at 8 p.m. E/PT and features undefeated Alejandro Luna facing former world title challenger Richard Commey in a 12-round IBF Lightweight Title Eliminator. The IBF champion is Robert Easter, who Commey fought to close-split decision for the vacant IBF belt in 2016.
Also in undercard action at Freeman Coliseum, unbeaten prospect Brandon Figueroa assume del Messico Jonathan Aguilar in an eight-round super bantamweight bout that, tempo permettendo, will round out the SHO EXTREME telecast.
I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo, which is promoted by Ringstar Sports and TGB Promotions in association with Leija-Battah Promotions, sono al prezzo di $250, $150, $75, $50 e $20 e sono già in vendita. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000 o 210 556-7390.
The Premier Boxing Champions event is headlined by a showdown between three-division world champion Mikey Garcia and unbeaten IBF 140-pound champion Sergey Lipinets and also features two-division world champion Rances Barthelemy assumendo Kiryl Relikh in a rematch of their thrilling fight last May, this time for the vacant WBA 140-pound world title.
Quartieri (20-0 12 KO), who is trained by Virgil Hunter, returns for his first professional bout in San Antonio since he scored a 2015 knockout over Manuel Vides at AT&T Center in 2015. The 22-year-old has won three straight fights by stoppage since moving up to the 140-pound division last year.
“I haven’t been back home in a while, and I’m looking forward to putting on a tremendous performance in front of my family and hometown fans,” Barrios ha detto. “Se il ko arriva, early or late, Lo prenderò. Se non, we’re going in there to do what we do best, and that’s win. I’m trying to show that I’m on the level where I can get one of those titles either later this year or early next year.”
Fighting out of Santo Domingo, Repubblica Dominicana, Bernardo (23-2, 17 KO) enters this fight having scored knockout victories in his last two contests. The 31-year-old, who appeared onShoBox: La nuova generazione nel mese di aprile 2016, has fought professionally since 2009 and was unbeaten in his first 21 lotte pro.
“I hope that Barrios isn’t underestimating me, because I am full of confidence and positive that I’m going to win,” said Bernardo. “I have a great plan that I’m going to use to catch him by surprise. I don’t care if it’s by knockout or decision, I will win.”
Luna (22-0, 15 KO) and Commey (25-2, 22 KO) enter this fight ranked 11th e 3rd respectively by the IBF. The 26-year-old Luna, fighting out of Bellflower, Ca., most recently dominated Andrey Klimov on his way to a unanimous decision last April and faces his toughest competition to date on March 10. Commey rebounded from the narrow defeat to Easter and a subsequent close loss to Denis Shafikov with a unanimous decision victory last March in his native Ghana.
“Commey’s a tough competitor whose losses were very close, disputable fights that could have gone either way, so I’ll go in being smart, using my jab and sticking to our game plan,” said Luna. “We’re both boxer-punchers who like to mix it up, throw bombs and brawl if we have to. There’s going to be a lot of action and we might steal the show. We’ll give the fans their money’s worth, either way.”
“I think this is a good fight where neither of us are the favorite,” said Commey. “After losing two close decisions there is natural pressure to go for the knockout. But I believe that the judges will be fair and reward me if it goes the distance so I can earn another shot at the title. This is my first fight with Andre Rozier and I’m inspired working in his gym with guys like Daniel Jacobs and Sadam Ali. Sono 100 percent focused on clearly beating Luna and earning my rematch with Robert Easter Jr.”
Figueroa (14-0, 9 KO), the younger brother of former lightweight champion Omar Figueroa, farà il suo 2018 debut against the 24-year-old Aguilar (20-7, 17 KO), after picking up four wins in 2017.
“I’m happy to be on such a big card. San Antonio is like my second home,” Detto Figueroa, che è 5-0 with four knockouts in San Antonio. “I’m getting a lot of exposure fighting on this world class event that is headlined by Mikey Garcia. It’s the kind of step-up I need. Little by little I’m becoming well-known, not only in the United States, but by people from around the world.”

UNDEFEATED REGIS PROGRAIS TO FACE FORMER UNIFIED WORLD CHAMPION JULIUS INDONGO FOR INTERIM WBC SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FRIDAY, MARZO 9 LIVE ON Showtime

Lascia un commento

Indongo Replaces Viktor Postol, Who Withdrew With A Hand Injury

 

Showtime Boxing: SPECIAL EDITION Live At 10 p.m. E/PT

From Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, Dakota del Sud

 

 

 

NEW YORK (Febbraio. 12, 2018) – Undefeated 140-pound contender Regis Prograis will now face former unified world champion Julius Indongo for the vacant Interim WBC Super Lightweight World Championship on Venerdì, Marzo 9, in the 12-round main event of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION live on SHOWTIME at 10 p.m. E/PT from Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, Dakota del Sud.

Indongo replaces the previously announced Viktor Postol, who was forced to withdraw from the bout with a hand injury.

Born in Namibia and now fighting out of Omaha, NE, Indongo (22-1, 11 KO) is a former unified champion who held the IBF and WBA 140-pound titles.

In 2016, Indongo traveled to Moscow, Russia, to dethrone IBF Junior Welterweight Champion Eduard Troyanovsky with a stunning first-round knockout. In his first defense as champion, Indongo traveled to Glasgow, Scozia, for a unification bout with WBA Champion Ricky Burns. The 35-year-old won a 12-round unanimous decision to become unified champion.

In his first bout as a unified titleholder, Indongo made his U.S. debut against fellow undefeated and unified champion Terence Crawford in a showdown to determine the undisputed champion of the 140-pound division. It was the first championship bout with all four major world titles at stake since Jermain Taylor dethroned Bernard Hopkins in 2005. Indongo lost to Crawford, suffering the only defeat of his professional career.

“I’m very excited to fight Regis Prograis on Marzo 9,” said Indongo. “This is a great opportunity for me toward becoming a world champion again. I know how good Prograis is, but come March 9, I’ll be victorious.”

“While it’s unfortunate that Viktor Postol suffered this training injury, we’re thrilled that Julius Indongo jumped right at the opportunity to face Regis Prograis for the interim WBC title,"Ha detto Lou DiBella, Presidente di DiBella Entertainment. “Regis wanted to prove himself against the best, and he will still be afforded that opportunity when he meets former champion Indongo in what promises to be a sensational clash of styles.”

PROGRAMMI (20-0, 17 KO), di Houston via New Orleans, has scored knockouts in 13 del suo ultimo 14 fights and is a rising star in the wide-open 140-pound division. Indongo represents the toughest challenge of his career with his lone loss to one of the top fighters in boxing, Terence Crawford.

Nella co-feature 12-round, undefeated 140-pound contenders Ivan Baranchyk (17-0, 10 KO) and Anthony Yigit (21-0-1, 7 KO) will square off in a Junior Welterweight World Title Eliminator to become the mandatory challenger for IBF champion Sergey Lipinets. Lipinets will defend his belt the following day, Marzo 10, on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® against undefeated three-division champion Mikey Garcia.

The event is presented by DiBella Entertainment, in association with Elite Boxing, Fight Promotions Inc., Holden Productions and Sauerland Promotions. Biglietti, al prezzo di $200, $80 e $60, are on sale now and can be purchased on Ticketmaster.com or by calling (877) 907-4726.

The doors open and first bout begins at 5:30 p.m. More information on Deadwood Mountain Grand can be found on their website at www.DeadwoodMountainGrand.com.

Tickets for the event can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center.
The hotly contested first match between Dirrell and Uzcategui, which was also for the IBF interim world title, ended in controversy after Uzcategui was disqualified for landing a punch after the bell sounded to end the eighth round. Dirrell was dropped and knocked out by the punch. The referee ruled that the punch was intentional and disqualified Uzcategui. In the IBF mandated rematch, Dirrell and Uzcategui will look to put themselves in position to fight for the super middleweight title that Caleb Truax recently earned via a majority decision over James DeGale.
Dirrell (26-2, 16 KO), a bronze medal winner for the 2004 U.S. Olympic boxing team, continues his quest for a world championship. The 34-year-old southpaw from Flint, Michigan lost a split decision to Carl Froch in his first attempt in 2009 and dropped a narrow unanimous decision to DeGale in his next attempt in 2015.
“I’m extremely excited to be a part of one of the most dynamic tripleheaders this year,” Dirrell said. “This time around I’ll be phenomenal and leave no doubt who the better fighter is. Sono 100 percent focused on dominating Uzcategui on March 3 and getting another shot at the title.”
The 27-year-old Uzcategui (26-2, 22 KO), who is from Venezuela and now lives in Tijuana, Messico, worked his way up to the match against Dirrell with a string of four straight stoppage victories, including a stunning upset of Julian Jackson in 2015. Uzcategui dropped Jackson four times on the way to a second round technical knockout victory.
“I’m very excited to go get what’s mine,” Detto Uzcategui. “I feel I won the last fight. I didn’t feel I did anything wrong. What happened in the last fight is in the past. I’m going to get what belongs to me. The world will see what ‘Bolivita’ can do and they’ll want to see more of me.”

DANNY GARCIA
“Alla fine della giornata, tutti al welter devono mettersi alla prova. I pezzi andranno a posto. Alla fine ci combatteremo tutti insieme. Continuerò a combattere un combattimento alla volta.
“Sono entusiasta di tornare sul ring. mi sento ringiovanito. Il mio corpo si sente fresco. Il ritiro è andato molto bene e ora è il momento di entrare e andare a lavorare.
“Ho imparato dalla lotta di Keith Thurman a non lasciare nulla nelle mani dei giudici. È stata una lotta serrata che sarebbe potuta andare in entrambi i modi. Devo andare per l'uccisione, quindi è quello che è.
“Mi stavo solo divertendo un po' dopo l'incontro con Thurman. Sapevo che sarei tornato, quindi è stato bello passare un po' di tempo con la mia famiglia e lontano dalla boxe. Ora sono tornato e sono pronto per partire.
“Questo è un nuovo capitolo della mia carriera. Ci sono nuovi ostacoli da superare. Proprio come ho sempre fatto nella mia carriera. Lo affronterò un combattimento alla volta in modo da poter tornare al posto a cui appartengo.
“Una volta che sei un campione, sei sempre un campione. Su Febbraio 17 Mostrerò a tutti perché sono uno dei migliori combattenti al mondo.
“Ho avuto le mie migliori prestazioni a Las Vegas contro Amir Khan e Lucas Matthysse. Las Vegas è dove le stelle combattono, quindi sono felice di combattere di nuovo lì.
“Mi sono preparato per tutto. Ho lavorato su boxe e risse; dipenderà solo da come mi sentirò quando inizierà il combattimento. sarò pronto per 12 giri a prescindere.”
DANNELL ELLERBE, Linebacker dei Philadelphia Eagles
“Solo per sapere quanto sia stata affamata Philadelphia per un campionato del Super Bowl, e per portare il primo, è una bella sensazione. Questi tifosi ti danno energia e ti fanno giocare meglio.
“È tutto amore tra gli atleti di Philadelphia. Ci presentiamo tutti per gli eventi degli altri e ci sosteniamo a vicenda. È davvero importante avere una comunità di supporto e sono sicuro che tutti faranno il tifo per Danny Sabato prossimo.”
ANGEL GARCIA, Padre di Danny & Allenatore
“Brandon Rios non sarà un avversario facile. Questa sarà una grande lotta. Rios è un combattente molto duro. Non è possibile che questa sarà una lotta facile e Danny lo sa.
“Danny sa che non può prendere nulla alla leggera perché Brandon Rios sarà preparato. Ma non vincerà. Danny Garcia non è mai stato picchiato; li distribuisce.
“Brandon Rios farebbe meglio a tenere le mani in alto. saremo pronti in una settimana per Danny Garcia di essere al suo meglio. Lo vedrai ancora una volta mostrare le sue grandi capacità.”
LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO di promozioni Mayweather
“Garcia vs. Brandon Rios è un grande matchup stilistico. Rios è un combattente molto aggressivo a cui piace fare pressione. Danny è un pugile-pugile, ma penso che tu veda che Danny si fa davvero avanti. È un ragazzo le cui abilità di boxe sono sottovalutate.
“Danny Garcia è stato un campione unificato e ha dimostrato di essere uno dei migliori combattenti al mondo. Come Febbraio 17, sta per fare una grande dichiarazione. Ci sono un sacco di discorsi giustificati su altri pesi welter, ma Danny Garcia è un nome in questa divisione che è qui per restare.
“Il Benavidez contro. La rivincita di Gavril è una lotta fantastica. È una lotta che le persone cercano sin dalla prima volta che si sono affrontate. Penso che sarà all'altezza di ciò che tutti si aspettano. So che Ronald ha apportato alcune modifiche, e sono sicuro che anche Benavidez ne ha fatti alcuni. Penso che sarà una guerra totale.”

LOS ANGELES (Febbraio. 9, 2018) – Just days after the birth of his daughter, American heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder met with members of the Southern California media il Giovedi as he prepares to defend his WBC Heavyweight World Championship against fellow-undefeated challenger Luis Ortiz Sabato, Marzo 3 in diretta su Showtime da Barclays Center, la casa di Brooklyn boxe ™.
Wilder and his girlfriend, fellow “WAGS Atlanta” star Telli Swift welcomed their daughter into the world il Martedì before Wilder turned his focus to Marzo 3, climbing in the ring at Team Watson Boxing Club in the San Fernando Valley to work out with his Los Angeles-based trainer Mark Breland, the former U.S. Olympics gold medalist and former WBC Welterweight World Champion.
The 32-year-old Wilder owns a perfect record of 39 vittorie, zero losses and 38 ko. Fighting out of his hometown of Tuscaloosa, Ala., lui era un 2008 Olympic Bronze Medalist and is the only reigning American heavyweight world champion. The 6-foot-7 Wilder faces the toughest opponent of his career in Ortiz, a 6-foot-4 Cuban who owns a professional record of 28-0 con 24 ko.
Here is what Wilder had to say il Giovedi:
Deontay Wilder:
“Once I unify all the titles then line up the mandatories, I’ll easily get to 50-0. I’m not a 12-round fighter, and I don’t get overtime. Sono un artista strepitoso. So that being said, I don’t take much damage, but I give all the damage. I put people in the hospitals. I put people in stretchers. When you fight me your head is not the same when you leave. When you fight me you’re really signing a death warrant.
“This is one of the biggest fights of my career and I’m up for the challenge. I’m going to pass with flying colors.
“Ortiz has got that reputation of being the bogeyman but I’ve never been scared of the bogeyman. Per tale motivo, I wanted him. A lot of people have been avoiding him, even champions that are champions to this day have avoided Luis Ortiz. But this champion right here took on the opportunity.
Even when [Ortiz] failed the drug test once, I still blessed him again because I’m very adamant about what I want to do. Voglio combattere il migliore. I say I’m the best. I say it very proudly, I say it very confidently. I say it so boldly and I want to show the world that I don’t play around. If I say it, I really mean what I say. I don’t have time to waste.
“If he fails again then somebody’s going to need to go whoop his ass. The public needs to whoop his ass. All of Miami should get up and do that. The first time, a lot of people spent a lot of time and a lot of money for tickets and he did what he did. A lot of people were enraged. I heard it and a lot of people blamed me, which I don’t know why. Ma, with this fight right here and what I did with my last performance, it makes it even better. It intensifies the whole fight. Così, if he [fails his drug test again] then shame on him. I feel sorry for his soul and his life. I don’t think he’s going to do that. I think he has a lot of responsibilities in his hands right now. At this point in time he knows he needs to do the right thing. Three times is not the charm in all instances.”
“I don’t focus on what these guys are doing. I don’t focus on what their strengths are. I just focus on me. I focus on what I’m capable of doing. I focus on what I’m going to do and when I tell people I’m going to do something, you know I’m going to do it. At the end of the day that’s what my father taught me. There weren’t any contracts back in the day, it was just the shake of a hand. And if you said something and you didn’t abide by it, there’s consequences to your actions, to your words. To this day, I abide by that. Così, if I say I’m going to do something it’s guaranteed to be done.”
On his lifestyle outside of boxing:
“I just think life itself is just mental. I do a lot of visualization. I do a lot of meditation. It strengthens my mind to go through a lot of the situations that I go through. Having a baby and being on a reality show, all of that is fun stuff. Some people know how to maintain it and some people don’t. I’m just a guy that multitasks a lot of things. I can do a lot of things. Even when I’m talking to you, my mind can be in so many different places right now and still be able to comprehend and interact with you. Così, I think I was meant for a lot of things. Boxing is just not what all I can do. I’m so talented in so many different areas.
“I’m a laid back guy. In my personal life I’m just a cool, calm and collected dude that likes to live life and I love peace. Sfortunatamente, in what I do in the ring, I turn into the ‘Bronze Bomber’ and the ‘Bronze Bomber’ don’t get caught by none.”
On being on reality TV and recognized by non-boxing fans:
“I think it’s very important. People need to know who the heavyweight champion of the world is. America got a bad man, an ass-whooper, right in America. I think it’s important and people should understand and should know who that is. That’s why I do the things I do. That’s why I’m so competitive. That’s why I speak the way I speak. Sometimes it may annoy people, it may get on people’s nerves and I never hear it in front of my face, but I understand it. I do it to show people that I’m going to speak it and you’re going to see me deliver it. I think you get the most respect when you say something you’re going to do and you do it. Look at Ali, people hated him. They say he was a big mouth who ran his mouth too much but he proved himself many times and that’s that thing I want to do. I want to speak what I say I’m going to do and you watch me work.”
On Anthony Joshua:
“I want him just as bad as everybody else wants him. If it was up to me, we would’ve been fighting two years ago. I’ve been calling this man out. When they hyped him up and said he was this, said he was that. I’m the type of person that I get happy for other people. With me and my happiness and me being successful, that’s all up to me. It ain’t up to nobody else. Così, when I see other people doing great things, when I see good things coming to other people, I get happy for other people. It’s a hard thing for people to get happy for other people because things don’t happen for them but I’m not like that because I know my blessings will sure enough come. All I got to do is keep working.
“I come in peace all of the time but with him, I don’t think Joshua wants to fight me. His promoters don’t want him to fight me. They’re on the goal of trying to build this resume, saying they want to be the first billionaires, stuff like that. But doing that, the plans all end with me. All roads lead to me. I’m not going nowhere, no time soon. They know black don’t crack. Così, I’m going to be around for a long time. I ain’t the best heavyweight in the division. I’m the best heavyweight on this earth. I’m just waiting on the opportunity to prove it.”
Prediction on Joshua-Parker:
“I’ve always said ‘later rounds’. I see that fight going later rounds if Joseph Parker is smart in what he does. He has nice movement and is able to execute on all of the opportunities that he sees with Joshua. Because Joshua can’t move his head. He’s a muscle, body-building type of guy. You’ve seen my dance? [chuckles] Con questo, if he’s able to calculate what he needs to do in the ring – because the ring has a lot of secrets – if he’s able to do things he needs to do, I see late rounds. Ma, like I said before, I think they’re going to have to knock Joshua out because they’re not going to give it to him.”
Prediction for Marzo 3:
“People ask me the round and I always see threes. This year is a magical year. It’s the year of the 33. Così, I see threes everywhere. I see three rounds or less, maybe shorter than that. It all depends on how I feel when I see him.”

Here is what Charlo and his trainer Ronnie Shields had to say Giovedi from Charlo Boxing and Fitness Club in Houston:
Charlo JERMALL
“It’s going to be a tough fight against Hugo Centeno Jr. If he can stand up to my power, we’re going to fight and it’ll be a brutal war. If he can’t, I’ll take him out in the first round.
“We can’t let Houston down now. My brother and I have made it this far. We can’t stop now. It’s my turn to put on a spectacular performance on March 3. I’m trying to one-up my brother’s previous performance each time I step in there.
“My goal is to show everybody that I’m the best middleweight in the world. I’m going to keep fighting everyone they put in front of me. I’m going to knock them out one-by-one until Canelo or Golovkin have to face me.
“I’ve had the chance to work on some improvements to my game since my last fight. I think having even more patience in the ring is going to help step my game up even higher. I want to be a champion at middleweight more than I did at 154-pounds.
“Hugo Centeno Jr. is another fighter who is in my way. I know he’ll come in prepared, but I’m confident I’m going to walk out of there with the victory.
“This is going to be a big year for me and my brother. We’re going to keep showing everyone why we’re so feared.”
Ronnie Shields, Trainer di Charlo
“Jermall looks great in training camp and we expect him to be at his best come Marzo 3. He’s motivated to put on a good show and prove to everyone he’s a force in this division.
“Hugo Centeno is a quality fighter. He’s well-trained and has length, so Jermall knows he has to be prepared. Centeno isn’t going to let him win, Jermall is going to have to go in and impose his will on the man.
“I believe Jermall has the talent and determination to beat any of the top middleweights out there. We’re going to keep working every day so that when the time comes for one of those fights with a Golovkin or Canelo, he’ll be prepared to take advantage of the opportunity.”

“Questo è il tipo di combattimento che ho chiesto perché so che battere un ragazzo come Danny Garcia significherà molto per la mia carriera e mi metterà sulla strada giusta per raggiungere i miei obiettivi.
“Danny ha un sacco di potere sul suo gancio. Lo lancia forte ed è preciso. Abbiamo lavorato duramente per prepararci a questo momento e sono emozionato.
“Avere Robert Garcia qui mi rende molto più felice in allenamento. Adoro le istruzioni di lui e Donald Leary, e adoro averli come angolino. Lo sparring con i ragazzi nella palestra di Robert mi ha davvero aiutato. Quei ragazzi sono affamati e spingono sempre per mettersi alla prova. Devo continuare ad elevare il mio gioco.
“Finché ho battuto Danny Garcia, So che mi riporta al vertice di questa divisione. Sono di nuovo qui e questa volta lo sto facendo bene. Voglio sfruttare al meglio questa parte della mia carriera. Non voglio mai chiedermelo ”cosa succede se?'”

“Daremo 150 biglietti per i primi soccorritori dell'incidente di Las Vegas l'anno scorso e significa molto per me e per tutta la mia squadra. Quegli uomini e quelle donne lavorano molto duramente e mettono a rischio le loro vite per proteggerci in tutto il mondo. Significa molto per me per loro venire a questo spettacolo.”
ROBERT GARCIA, Rios’ Allenatore
“Per questa lotta Brandon è stato così motivato e si è allenato così duramente. È già molto vicino al peso e abbiamo avuto più che abbastanza round di sparring.
“Brandon è come il mio fratellino e fa sicuramente parte della famiglia. Sono sempre stato in contatto con lui anche quando non lo allenavo. Quando abbiamo deciso di fare squadra di nuovo, la promessa era che doveva rimanere in salute e allenarsi duramente e mostrarci che vuole essere di nuovo campione. Da quel giorno, è stato in missione. Lo sta facendo nel modo giusto.
“Danny Garcia è un grande campione del mondo di due divisioni. Ci aspettiamo che sia fiducioso e sono sicuro che si sta allenando duramente per ottenere una buona vittoria. Brandon sarà motivato a dare a tutti una grande battaglia. La sua mente è uscire e battere Danny Garcia ed è quello che farà.
“Brandon si sta allenando duramente per fare ciò che la gente non crede che possa fare. La sua sicurezza è come mai prima d'ora. Vedo lo stesso Brandon che abbiamo visto nei momenti migliori della sua carriera.”

Ivan Baranchyk To Meet Fellow-Unbeaten Anthony Yigit In IBF Junior Welterweight Title Eliminator

Showtime Boxing: SPECIAL EDITION Live At 10 p.m. E/PT From Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, Dakota del Sud

 

 

 

NEW YORK (Febbraio. 6, 2018) – Undefeated 140-pound contender Regis Prograis and former world champion Viktor Postol will face off for the vacant WBC Super Lightweight World Championship on Friday, Marzo 9 in the 12-round main event of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION live on SHOWTIME at 10 p.m. E/PT from Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, Dakota del Sud.

 

 

 

PROGRAMMI (20-0, 17 KO), di Houston via New Orleans, has scored knockouts in 13 del suo ultimo 14 fights and is a rising star in the wide-open 140-pound division. The aggressive-minded southpaw will face the toughest test of his career in Postol (29-1, 12 KO), a former WBC Super Lightweight World Champion with only one loss on his record.

 

 

 

Nella co-feature 12-round, undefeated 140-pound contenders Ivan Baranchyk (17-0, 10 KO) and Anthony Yigit (21-0-1, 7 KO) will square off in a Junior Welterweight World Title Eliminator to become the mandatory challenger for IBF champion Sergey Lipinets. Lipinets will defend his belt the following day, Marzo 10, on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® against undefeated three-division champion Mikey Garcia.

 

 

 

The event is presented by DiBella Entertainment, in association with Elite Boxing, Fight Promotions Inc., Holden Productions and Sauerland Promotions. Biglietti, al prezzo di $200, $80 e $60, in vendita Venerdì, Febbraio. 9, and can be purchased on Ticketmaster.com or by calling (877) 907-4726.

 

 

 

“I feel I’m one of the best junior welterweights in the world and this is my chance to display my belief in myself,” Prograis said. “I’m very excited to be fighting Viktor Postol – he’s a very experienced fighter that previously held the WBC world title. I want to become a world champion this year, and I know Viktor Postol wants to reclaim his title, but we have to go through each other first. This is a great fight for boxing because you have two hungry fighters. It’s a can’t-miss fight.”

 

 

 

“My goal is to become a world champion again and I know a win over Regis Prograis will bring me one step closer,” Postol said. “I have been training hard for the past couple of months and I’m very excited for the opportunity to face Prograis on Marzo 9."

 

 

 

“My next fight is very important for my career and I am preparing for it very seriously,"Baranchyk Mackenzie. “A few months ago, I moved to Miami, Fla., where I am now being trained by Pedro Diaz. I have strict discipline for everything in my training. I’m working on improving my skills, tactics for the fight, my skill set and physical strength. I’m also maintaining a much stricter diet and eating very healthy. I want every fighter to know if I am in the boxing ring you will never have an easy fight with me.”

 

 

 

“My dream is to become a world champion and I need to defeat Baranchyk to continue on my path,” Yigit said. “This will be my first time fighting in the United States but I’m ready to show the boxing fans that I have what it takes to become a world champion. From Stockholm, Sweden to Deadwood, Dakota del Sud, onward my journey continues.”

 

 

 

“Two excellent super lightweight matchups highlight this SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION on Marzo 9. At the Deadwood Mountain Grand in South Dakota, the rising young gun will duel the seasoned ex-champion,"Ha detto Lou DiBella, Presidente di DiBella Entertainment. “Regis ‘Rougarou’ Prograis can earn a world championship by beating his toughest foe, the respected and formidable Viktor Postol, with the interim WBC title at stake. Undefeated puncher Ivan Baranchyk is truly ‘The Beast’ in the ring and is determined to blaze a path toward a world title shot in his IBF eliminator, taking on Sweden’s European Champion, former Olympian, Anthony ‘Can You Dig It?’ Yigit.”

 

 

 

“Prograis and Baranchyk have appeared a combined nine times on ShoBox: La nuova generazione and it’s fulfilling to see their development from talented prospects to legitimate contenders,”Ha dichiarato Gordon Hall, ShoBox Executive Producer and SVP Production, SHOWTIME Sports. “We view this progression as a validation for the ShoBox serie, and we’re thrilled to see their hard work pay off with these potentially career-changing opportunities. These are two tough fights that will determine who is ready to take the next step in this exciting division.”

 

 

 

“We are thrilled that DiBella Entertainment is bringing big time boxing back to South Dakota,” said Susan Kightlinger, General Manager at Deadwood Mountain Grand. “Deadwood is renowned for its rough and tumble past and professional boxing fits that mold perfectly. It’s an amazing card, great fighters and SHOWTIME is the ultimate name in boxing. It’s a perfect fit!”

 

 

 

A consensus top-10 ranked fighter at 140 libbre, the 29-year-old Prograis has beaten three previously undefeated fighters on the SHOWTIME developmental series ShoBox: La nuova generazione. Prograis stamped his arrival as a legitimate contender in the 140-pound division on Giugno 9 scoring four knockdowns of previously undefeated Joel Diaz Jr., en route to a second-round TKO. Following the fight, Prograis called out the top players in the 140-pound division, including Terence Crawford and Adrien Broner, e Marzo 9, he’ll get his first chance to prove he’s ready to face the division’s elite.

 

 

 

Prograis’ nickname “Rougarou” originates from Louisiana folklore and is defined as a werewolf-like creature. Originario di New Orleans, Prograis relocated to Houston following Hurricane Katrina.

 

 

 

Postol won the vacant WBC 140-pound World Championship with a stunning and dominating 10th round knockout of Lucas Matthysse in 2015. The 34-year-old Ukrainian attempted to unify the division in his first defense, losing via unanimous decision to then-WBO champion Terence Crawford in 2016. He has since bounced back with a win over previously unbeaten Jamshidbek Najmiddinov last September in his native Ukraine. A win would move him one step closer to earning back the coveted WBC title he lost.

 

 

 

The co-feature also pits two of the top prospects in the 140-pound division, each with an opportunity to score the biggest win of their respective careers.

 

 

 

The aggressive-minded Baranchyk is a former amateur standout that packs power in both hands. The 25-year-old native of Belarus is currently ranked No. 4 in the IBF at 140 pounds and owns seven wins over previously undefeated fighters. He’s gone the 10-round distance three times and is coming off an eight-round unanimous decision over then-undefeated Keenan Smith last July on ShoBox in his adopted hometown of Miami, Okla.

 

 

 

The 26-year-old Yigit competed in the 2012 Olympics for Sweden, advancing to the second round before losing a very narrow decision to eventual Silver Medalist Denys Berinchyk. The Stockholm native has tallied 21 victories in just four years following the Olympics while campaigning in Europe. The southpaw will make his U.S. debut against Baranchyk as he looks to prove he’s ready to contend on the world stage.

 

 

 

The doors open and first bout begins at 5:30 p.m. More information on the Deadwood Mountain Grand can be found on their website at www.DeadwoodMountainGrand.com.
