JERRY ODOM TO FACE JULIUS JACKSON IN MATCHUP OF SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHTS NEXT FRIDAY, יולי 22 אויף שאָבאָקס: דער נייַ דור
Odom Replaces The Injured Ronald Ellis In Co-Featured Bout Live On SHOWTIME® בייַ 10 פּ.ם. און/PT From Foxwoods Resort Casino In Mashantucket, קאַן.
נייַ יארק (יולי 15, 2016) – Prospect Jerry Odom steps up to face Julius Jackson in a matchup of super middleweights next Friday, יולי 22 אויף שאָבאָקס: די ניו גענעראַטיאָן לעבן אויף שאָוטיים (10 פּ.ם. און/פּט) פֿון פאָקסוואָאָדס רעסאָרט קאַסינאָ אין מאַשאַנטוקקעט, קאַן.
The hard-hitting Odom (13-2-1, 12 קאָס) replaces Ronald Ellis, who pulled out of the bout אויף דאנערשטיג with a right hand injury.

“I have been training for a few fights that fell through. I’m in shape and ready to go,"אָדאָם האט. “When my team got the call we decided it was the right decision to take this opportunity.
“My power will be a big factor. Jackson has faced punchers before, but he hasn’t faced one like me. דאס איז אַ גרויס געלעגנהייט, and I will put on a show ווייַטער פרייטיק.”
Undefeated top 10-ranked super bantamweight Adam “Mantequilla” Lopez (15-0, 7 קאָס) faces Roman Ruben Reynoso (18-1-1, 7 קאָס) אין די 10-קייַלעכיק הויפּט געשעעניש. In an eight round lightweight bout, אָ'שאַקוויע Foster (10-1, 7 קאָס) meets Rolando Chinea (12-1-1, 6 קאָס).

UNDEFEATED AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT JARRELL MILLER TO FACE TOUGH VETERAN FRED KASSI ON FRIDAY, אויגוסט. 19 IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: דער נייַ דור
Tripleheader from Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, נ.י.. Airs Live at 10 פּ.ם. און/פּט אויף שאָוטיים®
דריקט דאָ For Archive Images; Credit SHOWTIME
נייַ יארק (יוני 30, 2016) – Undefeated heavyweight דזשאַררעלל מיללער claims he’s America’s top heavyweight prospect. “Big Baby” will get a chance to back up his boast when he faces his toughest test to date in veteran Fred קאַץ אין די הויפּט געשעעניש פון שאָבאָקס: די ניו גענעראַטיאָן אויף פרייַטיק, אויגוסט. 19.
The confident and hard-hitting Miller (17-0-1, 15 קאָס) and the durable and vastly experienced Kassi (18-5-1, 10 קאָס) will headline a tripleheader live on שאָוטיים בייַ 10 פּ.ם. און/פּט from the outdoor soccer venue Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, נ.י..
Two undefeated young bantamweight prospects will square off in theשאָבאָקס co-feature as world-ranked Nikolay פּאָטאַפּאָוו (14-0-1, 6 קאָס) און אַנטאָניאָ ניעוועס (16-0-1, 8 קאָס) meet in a 10-round bantamweight bout.
אין דער עפענונג באַוט פון די טעלאַקאַסט, undefeated welterweight knockout artist באַכטייאַר ייובאָוו (10-0, 10 קאָס) will face battle-tested veteran Karim Mayfield (19-3-1, 11 קאָס) in a 10-round match.
Tickets for the event presented by Salita Promotions go on sale דעם פרייטיק בייַ מיטאָגצייַט עט און זענען בנימצא אין http://www.rhinossoccer.com/און http://www.etix.com
“This is an amazing opportunity. I’m in the main event going against a tough opponent, and he’s definitely game to fight,” Miller said. “I’m ready to put his lights out like I do everybody else. I know he’s durable and a little older than me. He’s a tough guy and he can take a beating. אַזוי ווייַט, he’s only been stopped once. I’ll be the second.
“I’m going back to basics in this camp. I’m an advanced fighter, but there are a couple of things I’ve wanted to work on. It’s easy for heavyweights to rely on power and forget about technique. You see what happened to Dominic Breazeale against Anthony Joshua? His power didn’t mean jack because there was no technique behind it. I want to be the kind of fighter who puts his technique first and power last.”
“I approach Jarrell like all young fighters,” Kassi said. “I’m a seasoned pro that has fought top-tier opponents. Jarrell will have to bring his ‘A game’ against me. He’s got size and power, but it’s nothing I haven’t seen. I’m tired of getting robbed by judges like in El Paso (against Chris Arreola), and in Alabama (against Dominic Breazeale). That should have been me fighting Anthony Joshua in The O2. Against (Hughie) Fury, the cut saved him. Another round or two and he would have been done. Then we heard what we always hear, ‘oh, Fury had a bad night, so did Breazeale, so did Arreola.’ They all seem to have ‘bad’ nights when I’m in the other corner. I’m hoping to actually get some credit when Miller has a ‘bad’ night too. I’m a heavyweight boxer, that’s boxer underlined. I move my feet, I use angles, I hit and don’t get hit. That’s boxing and it’s my art. Boxing fans are going to have a great time watching me dismantle a giant.”
“I am very happy to be back on SHOWTIME fighting the best opponent of my career,” Eyubov said. “I know this will be my hardest fight to date and that’s what motivates me. I am grateful that I am getting an opportunity to prove myself and I want to show that I am ready for the best fighters in the world. I am ready for the boxing world to know my name. ויגוסט 19, Karim Mayfield, here I come.”
“This will be a special event at Rochester Rhinos soccer stadium. We have America’s brightest heavyweight contender in Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller and a knockout sensation out of Brooklyn by way of Kazakhstan in Bakhtiyar ‘Bakha’ Eyubov,” promoter Dmitriy Salita האט. “This show has all the ingredients to be one of the most talked about boxing events of the summer, and we think Miller has all the skills and charisma to break through in the heavyweight division. I am grateful to SHOWTIME and Rhinos Stadium that boxing fans will witness talented fighters in their toughest fights to date. I look forward to an explosive night of boxing.”
“Wendy and I are so excited to be hosting both SHOWTIME and the fighting debut of Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller at Rhinos Stadium,"האט געזאגט Wendy און David Dworkin, owners of the Rochester Rhinos soccer stadium. "ויגוסט 19 will be a great opportunity to showcase our stadium and the City of Rochester to a nationwide audience.”
The menacing Miller, a 6-foot-4 Brooklyn, נ.י.. געבוירן, is a consensus top 15 heavyweight – he’s ranked No. 8 אין די וובאָ, צי ניט. 9 in the WBA and No. 14 אין די יבף. The 27-year-old former professional kickboxer has knocked out six consecutive opponents as he’s risen through the rankings as one of America’s top heavyweight hopes. Prior to Miller’s knockout of ניק גויוואַס אויף מייַ 27, his previous two fights were onשאָבאָקס – a third round destruction of אַכראָר מוראַלימאָוו last October and a knockout of דאָנאָוואַן דעניס in January in which he was pushed to the seventh round for the first time.
Kassi has been in with some of the most recognizable names in the heavyweight division, אַרייַנגערעכנט אַמיר מאַנסאָור, דאָמיניק ברעאַזעאַלע און Hughie Fury. The 36-year-old fought to a disputed majority draw with three-time world title challenger קריס אַררעאָלאַ last July on PBC on CBS in which most ringside observers, אַרייַנגערעכנט שאָבאָקס אַנאַליסט סטיוו פאַרהאָאָד, had Kassi winning by a wide margin. The New Orleans resident has been stopped just once – in 2014 by Mansour – and stands as an excellent barometer for Miller’s progression as a legitimate contender.
The fast-rising Potapov, of Potolsk, רוסלאַנד, is ranked in the top 15 in three of the four sanctioning bodies (צי ניט. 7 וובאָ, צי ניט. 13 יבף, צי ניט. 14 וובאַ) after just 15 פאַכמאַן פיגהץ. A former amateur standout with over 200 פייץ, the 25-year-old Potapov has already gone at least 10 rounds seven times since turning professional in 2010. The only blemish on his record is a draw with undefeated prospect סטעפאָן יונגע אין זיין לעצט קאַמף אויף אַפּריל 15 אויף שאָבאָקס.
Coincidently, the only blemish on אַנטאָניאָ ניעוועס’ record is a 2015 draw with Stephon Young. The 29-year-old is coming off his first 10-round performance, a unanimous decision over then once-beaten אָסקאַר מאָדזשיקאַ אויף יוני 18. The Cleveland, Ohio native will face his toughest opponent to date in fellow unbeaten Potapov in the matchup of unbeaten bantamweights.
The Brooklyn-based Eyubov has passed every test he’s faced, and knocked out all of his opponents in the process. The 29-year-old native of Kazakhstan is coming off an impressive third-round stoppage of veteran דזשאַרעד ראָבינסאָן last January on שאָבאָקס. Eyubov will step up his level of opposition when he faces Karim Mayfield, a 35-year-old veteran who owns wins over מאַוריסיאָ העררעראַ און סטיוו פאָרבעס and has never been stopped in 23 פייץ.
בערי טאַמפּקינז וועט רופן די שאָבאָקס קאַמף פון רינגסייד מיט סטיוו פאַרהאָאָד און פרייַערדיק וועלט מייַסטער ראַול מאַרקעז will serve as expert analysts. די יגזעקיאַטיוו פּראָדוצירער איז גארדאן האַלל מיט ריטש גאַוגהאַן שאפן און ריק פיליפּס דיירעקטינג.

לאָפּעז, Ellis and Foster fought on GH3’s פעברואר. 19 שאָבאָקס at Atlantic City. Lopez and Foster triumphed; Ellis boxed a draw.
Adam Lopez vs. Roman Ruben Reynoso: 10-round bantamweight bout
The steadily improving Lopez, now trained by Houston-based ראַני שיעלדס, will be making his fourth שאָבאָקס start since March 2015. In his first three, he defeated previously unbeaten prospects (combined record: 44-0-2) on each occasion.
לעצט פעברואר. 19, the 5-foot-7, 25-year-old Lopez captured a career-best, highly competitive 10-round decision over Mario Muñoz (16-0-1) of Mexico. Lopez survived a nasty cut over his right eye to win by the scores of 98-92 צוויי מאָל און 97-93. In his other fights on שאָבאָקס, Lopez won a (then personal-best) 10-round majority decision over Dominicanעליעסער אַקינאָו (17-0-1) אויף יולי 17, 2015, and by second-round knockout over פּאַבלאָ קרוז (11-0) אויף מאַרץ 13, 2015.
Regarding his upcoming fight against Reynoso, Lopez said, “Everything is good. I’m starting to turn up my sparring. I have switched trainers to ראַני שיעלדס אין האָוסטאָן. I see a lot of improvement since my last fight.
“Reynoso is a good fighter from Argentina. He is in Canada now, so I am sure he is getting good sparring there. He is kind of wild, but guys like that are hard to fight because you don’t know where the punches are coming from, but we will be prepared for anything.”
Born in Phoenix and raised in Los Angeles, Lopez moved to San Antonio at 15. ער איז געקומען 125-23 in the amateurs and won six national championships before turning pro at 21 אין פעברואר 2012.
The 25-year-old Reynoso brings a 10-fight winning streak into his United States and שאָבאָקס דעבוט. A five-year pro, the South American lightweight champion fought his initial 18 fights in Buenos Aires before winning his last fight and lone start this year on a decision over Cristian Arrazola לעצט מייַ 20 אין קאַנאַדע. Reynoso’s lone defeat came in his fourth fight.
“Everything is going well in training camp,’’ Reynoso said. “We know that Lopez is tall for 122 pounds and he has good hand speed. He has a good name and we will try to learn more in the next few weeks.
“This is a big opportunity for us and we will do our best. This is a big fight and we know we have to win. With a win, we would hope to get a world title opportunity.’’
Ronald Ellis vs. יוליוס זשעקסאן: Eight-round middleweight bout
Ellis gets an immediate opportunity to regain his winning ways after taking a sizeable jump up in class and boxing an eight-round draw with hard-hitting דזשערי אָודאַם אין זיין פעברואר. 19 שאָבאָקס דעבוט. A spirited, close contest throughout was scored 78-74 for Ellis and 76-76 אַפּיס. The draw snapped a four-fight-knockout streak for Ellis, who’s won all 10 of his knockouts inside two rounds (eight in the first) since turning pro in 2011.
“This is going to be another coming out party for me,’’ the 5-foot-11, 25-year-old Ellis said. “The last fight was a draw. I had some problems with my hand, but I’m back and this is a step for me. Hopefully he comes to fight. I hope he brings it 100 percent because I am bringing 200 פּראָצענט.
“I am glad to be on שאָבאָקס ווידער. I showed the fans a little bit in my last fight. They can expect the same thing but a little bit more on יולי 22.''
Jackson is making his second שאָבאָקס אָנהייב. In his debut – and initial go in the U.S. – the older brother of יוחנן and son of former two-division world champion Julian “The Hawk” Jackson registered two knockdowns en-route to a ninth-round TKO over Jonathan Nelson (19-2, 10 קאָס) אויף דעצעמבער. 20, 2014.
Much like Ellis, Jackson is also getting a quick-fix chance to redeem himself and get back on the winning track. אָבער, unlike Ellis, זשעקסאן losthis most recent fight. His perfect record and 19-fight winning streak ended when he lost by second-round TKO to now top-rated super middleweight contender Jose Uzcategui לעצט אקטאבער. 6.
“I’m looking to redeem myself and come out with a win,’’ said the 6-foot-2 Jackson, וואס טורנס 29 אויף אויגוסט. 1. “This is my second שאָבאָקס fight and I’m excited to get back to let the world see my talent. I’m getting better, my training has been good. I expect to be in with another really good fighter. It should be a great fight.’’
א 2008 Olympian for the Virgin Islands and a pro since January 2009, Jackson is fighting for the third time in a row in the U.S.
O’Shaquie Foster vs. ראָלאַנדאָ טשינעאַ: Eight-round featherweight bout
O’Shaquie (pronounced “oh-SHACK-ee”) Foster is making his third appearance on שאָבאָקס. לעצט פעברואר. 19, he began to live up to expectations when he rebounded from a sub-standard performance in his שאָבאָקס דעבוט (an eight-round decision loss to שמואל סעאַה אין נאוועמבער 2015) to register a seventh-round TKO over previously undefeated Lavisas Williams (8-0-1).
פאָסטער, 22, dropped southpaw Williams four times – in the second, third, fourth and seventh rounds. Three of the knockdowns appeared to result from a push, but Williams’ gloves touched the canvas each time so they went into the books as knockdowns. After the final knockdown in the seventh, the fight was stopped at 52 סעקונדעס אין די קייַלעכיק.
“Everything is going good,’’ Foster said. “I’ve been doing a lot of conditioning. I am in the best shape of my life. Chinea has a good jab and I know he will be in a good shape.
“Ever since I moved to Virginia to train, my conditioning, mentality and confidence has gone way up and that was the difference from my first fight to my last fight on שאָבאָקס. אויף יולי 22, I will be even that much better.’’
A highly decorated amateur standout, the 5-foot-8½ inch Foster advanced to the 2012 יוז. Olympic Trials where he lost to unbeaten pro prospect, יוסף "דזשאָו-דזשאָו" דיאַז. איידער אַז, Foster was a 2010 כאַווער לאַנדיש טשאַמפּיאָן, a five-time Ringside National Champion and two-time National Junior Golden Gloves Champion.
Chinea, a 5-foot-8, 25-יאָר-אַלט, איז געמאכט זיין שאָבאָקס דעבוט. After going pro in November 2011, ער איז 10-0-1 before losing an eight-round decision to Ismail Muwendo אין אפריל 2015. He’s won two straight since, including a six-round decision over previously undefeatedלאַדאַריוס מיללער (דעמאָלט 9-0) אין זיין לעצט קאַמף אויף פעברואר. 16.
“I treat every opponent the same,’’ Chinea. “I give everything I got and I leave it all in the ring. I know Foster was a good amateur. I know he can box and I know he has some pop.
“This is the moment I’ve dreamed about since I started boxing at 14. My main goal is to tune out the crowd and win. I want to be a main event fighter on SHOWTIME and this is the first step.’’
Khiary Gray-Pitts vs. Ismael Garcia: Eight-round super welterweight bout
גרוי-פּיץ, 23, will be boxing on שאָבאָקס פֿאַר די ערשטער מאָל. Ambidextrous with quick hands and feet, Gray-Pitts turned pro in June 2014. He fought three times that year, eight times in 2015 (8-0, 8 קאָס, seven in the first, one in the second) and this will be his third fight in 2016.
“I’m very excited,’’ Gray-Pitts said. “Now I get to showcase my skillset to the whole world. It’s something I’ve been waiting for. There’s still more that people haven’t seen yet when it comes to me. Now I get to see what I have the ability to do. I’m able to block [the crowd] out.
“The more pressure there is, the more relaxed I am. I don’t know a lot about my opponent, but it doesn’t matter as long as I go in there and get done what I need to get done.”
The 5-foot-9 Gray-Pitts is coming off a second-round knockout overQuinton Willis לעצט מייַ 13. In his outing before last, the previous פעברואר. 19, won a 10-round decision over Eduardo פלאָרעס.
גאַרסיאַ, 29, has fought sporadically since turning pro in March 2010, although he’s been more active in the last 14 חדשים. He fought in May and October in 2015 and won his one start this year on a six-round split decision over קאַרלאָס גאַרסיאַ לעצט מאַרץ 18. Garcia’s initial seven fights took place in Atlantic City, the last three in Philadelphia.
“It is my television debut, and everything we have been working on in my first 10 fights we will put together for this fight,’’ Garcia said. “This is SHOWTIME. Being on שאָבאָקס is a long time coming for me. It’s what I’ve dreamed about since I started boxing. It’s his TV debut as well so I know he will be on top of his game. We will be preparing 100 percent for that and then some.
“I have seen a little of Gray-Pitts on tape. This will be my toughest test, as I will be his toughest test. When you have 13-0 מלחמה 10-0, it will be a good fight.’’

An all-Brooklyn showdown between welterweight technicians Paulie “Magic Man” Malignaggi און Gabriel “Tito” Bracero highlights the undercard action on SHOWTIME BOXING on SHOWTIME EXTREME. The 10-round bout is a matchup between a former two-division world champion, מאַליגנאַגגי, and a fellow Brooklyn native, בראַסעראָ, coming off the biggest win of his career when he knocked out דאַני אָוקאַנער לעצט אקטאבער.

די יולי 30 event at Barclays Center comes on the heels of last Saturday’s potential Fight of the Year thriller between קיט טערמאַן און שאָן פּאָרטער, a back-and-forth slugfest that generated the top grossing live gate and second-highest attended boxing event in venue history.
“This is the strongest card from top to bottom that I have promoted at Barclays Center,” said DiBella Entertainment President Lou דיבעללאַ. “Every single fight is significant and competitive, and this is a great follow up from the tremendous success that boxing had with Thurman-Porter this past weekend.”
“This will be our 19טה באָקסינג געשעעניש, but from top to bottom it’s arguably our best card yet,” said Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment CEO ברעט יאָרמאַרק. “We are excited to welcome undefeated Santa Cruz and Frampton to Brooklyn for the first time, a fight that could rival Barclays Center’s epic Thurman-Porter bout for Fight of the Year. It’s also a pleasure to welcome Brooklyn’s own Paulie Malignaggi back to Barclays Center for the fifth time and to host the return of Mikey Garcia after a two and a half year hiatus. יולי 30 is going to be another big night for BROOKLYN BOXING.”
“We are excited to be part of Mikey Garcia’s return to the ring. Before the layoff, he was a two-division world champion and considered one of the top boxers in the world. We know he is determined to reclaim his place among the elite,"האט געזאגט סטיווען עספּינאָזאַ, Executive וויצע פרעזידענט & אַלגעמיינע מאַנאַגער, שאָוטיים ספורט. “SHOWTIME has distinguished itself by delivering the most compelling matchups and the most important events in boxing all year long. There is no other network as committed to the sport, און די יולי 30 געשעעניש, from top-to-bottom, is a prime example.”
MIKEY GARCIA vs. ELIO ROJAS
“I expect to pick up right where I left off,” Garcia told SHOWTIME Sports reporter דזשים גרוי last Saturday on CBS. “I was a world champion, I was undefeated, and I still am. I didn’t leave because I was injured. I think I’ll come back even better. I’m hungrier now than I was before.
“I just have to get one fight in. This first fight with Elio (Rojas) will be somewhere between 135 און 140 פונט, but I want to fight at 135 and win a title there. I want to win a title there and keep going after champion after champion. Now that all that (uncertainty) is behind me I look forward to the next stage of my career. This next stage of my career will be what people remember me for.”
“Mikey Garcia is a great fighter,” Rojas said. “I want to thank him for this opportunity. We are both former WBC World Champions and I expect a great fight. אָבער, all of the talk surrounding this fight has been about Mikey’s comeback and his future plans. I am no tune-up. This is also about me coming back and fighting again. He may be looking past me, but I am fully focused on him and securing the victory. I will do whatever I have to do to win, so I can move on and regain my world championship.”
גאַרסיאַ (34-0, 28 קאָס), פון ווענטוראַ, קאַליף., is 28-years-old and in the prime of his career. Once considered one of the top young boxers pound-for-pound in the world, he will make his first ring appearance since he retained the WBO 130-pound title with a 12-round unanimous decision overJuan Carlos Burgos אויף Jan. 25, 2014. גאַרסיאַ, the brother of renowned trainer ראבערט גאַרסיאַ, has been victorious by knockout in 10 פון זיין לעצטע 12 fights and holds impressive victories overRoman “Rocky” Martinez, וואַן מאַנועל לאָפּעז, Orlando Salido און Bernabe Concepcion.
Rojas (24-2, 14 קאָס), of San Francisco de Macoris, דאָמיניקאַן רעפובליק, won the WBC featherweight world championship in 2009 with a 12-round unanimous decision over defending titleholder Takahiro Ao אין דזשאַפּאַן. The 33-year-old successfully defended the title against Guty Espadas Jr. אין 2010, before losing the belt via unanimous decision to דזשהאָנני גאָנזאַלעז אין אפריל 2012.

TONY HARRISON vs. SERGEY RABCHENKO:
“I’m thrilled to return to the ring on this big stage for my first fight in Brooklyn, and I’m ready to put on a show,” said Harrison. “Fighting for a world title is my dream and I know that I have a challenge in front of me. I’m working hard in camp to get another knockout and to make my mark on the division.”
“This is the start of realizing my dream,” Rabchenko said. “America is the Mecca of boxing so it is a huge privilege for me to be asked to fight there. American fans like to see knockouts and I like to knock people out so I think they will like what they see. I think I can build a fan base there. I am hungrier than ever. I have not seen much of Harrison, but I am ready for anyone. People say he is a very good fighter with good power. I’m not worried. I have good power as well and I think I will have too much for him.”
אין בלויז 25-יאָרן-אַלט, כעריסאַן (23-1, 19 קאָס) has showed tremendous promise. He manufactured a 10-fight knockout streak from 2013 צו 2015 and proved he could recover from a loss when he dominated סעסיל מאַקאַלאַ פֿאַר 10 rounds in October 2015 און סטאַפּט פערנאַנדאָ וואַרריאָר in impressive fashion in March.
Fighting out of Belaraus, Rabchenko (27-1, 20 קאָס) is looking to put himself squarely into world title contention when he makes his U.S. דעבוט אויף יולי 30. The 30-year-old is coming off stoppage victories over Walter Calvo מאי 2015 and Miguel Aguilar in February.
שאָוטיים עקסטרעם:
PAULIE MALIGNAGGI vs. GABRIEL בראַסעראָ:

“I’m looking to make a statement by winning this fight,” said Bracero. “Paulie and I have been friends since the amateurs and I’m thankful to have this opportunity, but he’s had his run. Now it’s time for me to have mine. This fight is going to change my life.”
א פרייַערדיק וועלט מייַסטער בייַ 140 און 147-פּאָונדס, the 35-year-old Malignaggi (35-7, 7 קאָס) will return to the ring to fight at Barclays Center for the fifth time.

IVAN REDKACH vs. TEVIN FARMER:
“I am extremely happy to be back in the ring on a big show in New York,” Redkach said. “There are so many Ukrainian fans in New York and I am thrilled to have their support and will put on a great show for them. I want to thank Leo Santa Cruz and his team for having me in their camp as we both prepare ourselves to put on tremendous performances come יולי 30."
“I couldn’t be more excited about this fight,” Farmer said. “This is my Barclays Center debut and it is going to be a spectacular performance. I have called out anyone and everyone in the 130- pound division to no avail, so now I’m moving up to 135 to take on Redkach, one of the most feared punchers in the division. Redkach is an aggressive guy and I know he is coming to fight, but there is no way I leave that ring without my hand being raised. This is a fight where I can and I will make a major statement. I’m willing to fight whoever they put in front of me to inch closer to a world title opportunity and יולי 30 is another step in that direction. I tip my hat off to Redkach for giving me this fight, but this is my time to shine.”
