The SHOWTIME telecast will include extensive highlights and analysis of the IBF Featherweight World Championship between defending titlist Llegeix Selby and American challenger Eric Hunter.

(EDITORS NOTE: Due to a change in the bout order at The O2 in London, SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL is unable to provide live coverage of this bout.)

Martin vs. Joshua is the third of four heavyweight title bouts in five months per SHOWTIME (see details below). The scheduled 12-round matchup is the toughest test to date for both Martin (23-0-1, 21 KOs) and Joshua (15-0, 15 KOs), two bombers who boast a combined 94 percent knockout ratio.

Selby (22-1, 8 KOs) vs. Hunter (21-3, 11 KOs) is the second of five scheduled featherweight title bouts in 2016 (details below), a lineup showcasing many of the world’s best 126-pounders aiming to unifying one of boxing’s deepest divisions.

“The heavyweight division is experiencing an incredible resurgence, and the featherweight division is rife with compelling matchups,", Va dir Stephen Espinoza, Vicepresident Executiu & General Manager of SHOWTIME Sports. “Martin vs. Joshua is a can’t-miss showdown between a newly minted American champion and one of the sport’s fastest-rising stars. And Selby vs. Hunter has major implications in the talent-rich division. We are proud to work with Matchroom Sport to deliver these pivotal matchups to the U.S. audience.”

“I’m the Heavyweight Champion of the World, and that’s why I have no problem traveling to England for my first title defense,” Martin said. “I only want to fight the best, and I plan on knocking Anthony Joshua out and taking his fans and the belt back with me.”

“The O2 is going to be rocking on Abril 9 and the U.S. fans are in for a treat when they see Charles and I clash,” Joshua said. “Credit to him for coming over after calling me out, but he doesn’t know what he’s getting himself in for. I am going to show all my power, all my speed and all my accuracy to put on the best display of my life and become the Heavyweight Champion of the World by knocking him out. I’m delighted that fans in the U.S. will be able to witness it.”

“After a great experience in my first defense in Arizona against Fernando Montiel, it’s nice to be back in front of my home fans at The O2 in London,” Selby said. “It’s going to be a crazy atmosphere with a 20,000 person sold-out arena. Hunter has talked a lot of trash and I’m looking forward to showing him what it’s like at the world championship level. He’s in for a shock.”

“He’s got a belt I want, and that’s all I know about him,” Hunter said. “My team knows more about him than I do. It’s their job to come up with a game plan. My job is train and get ready to perform my best. I can adjust to anything in the ring. I’m just here at the gym working my butt off to get the job done. I’m going to be more focused than I ever have been for this fight.”

The 6-foot-5 Martin won the IBF championship on Jan. 16 quan Vyacheslav Glazkov suffered a knee injury in the third round of their vacant world title fight. In capturing the IBF belt, Martín, de St. Louis, Missouri, became just the sixth southpaw heavyweight champion in boxing history and the second current American heavyweight titlist.

While Martin has stopped his last 13 opponents and was the aggressor against Glazkov, the undefeated champ remains virtually untested. His first title defense and initial start outside the U.S., will take place at what is expected to be a pro-Joshua arena in London that sold out in just 90 segon. The 29-year-old Martin, who is trained by U.S. Olímpic Henry Tillman in Big Bear, Qualif., will be Joshua’s first professional southpaw opponent.

Joshua had a standout amateur career that culminated with an Olympic Gold Medal at super heavyweight in the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Since turning professional in July 2013, the 6-foot-6 Joshua has steadily climbed through the ranks.

One of boxing’s most promising prospects, Joshua is coming off consecutive victories over previously undefeated opponents. En la seva última baralla, the 26-year-old was pushed past the third round for the first time in his career. Joshua defeated Dillian Whyte via seventh-round knockout on Desembre. 12. Ara, Joshua returns to The O2, the site of his professional debut and five of his 15 baralles professionals, in a bid to join Tyson Fury as the second current reigning British heavyweight champion.

Joshua is also looking to become the sixth super heavyweight Olympic Gold Medalist to win a heavyweight world title. If successful, he will join an impressive group that includes George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Lennox Lewis iWladimir Klitschko.

Nascut a Barry, Gal·les, Selby won his world title with a dominant technical decision over previously undefeated Evgeny Gradovich al maig 2015. The slick boxer made his first title defense in his U.S. debut last October, capturing a unanimous decision over former three-division champ Fernando Montiel.

The 29-year-old owns a slew of victories over previously unblemished fighters including Joel Brunker, Ryan Walsh, Viorel Simon, Corey McConnell iStephen Smith. He has won 18 straight since the lone blemish of his career, and six of his last eight victories came over previously undefeated opponents.

Hunter, who will take a four-fight win streak into his initial start outside the U.S., has always possessed an abundance of talent. Abans de convertir-se en professional, the Philadelphia native was an outstanding amateur and an alternate on the U.S. Olympic team.

The fast-handed 29-year-old has scored some solid victories as a pro, and his biggest enemy in a nine-year career has been himself – the switch-hitter doesn’t always keep his composure in check and allows his emotions get the best of him. Two of Hunter’s three losses came by disqualification, the last coming via DQ in 2013 contra Mike Oliver for hitting at the break. The other came againstLuis Franco a 2010, when he had a point deducted in the second and was DQ’d in the eighth after repeated low blows.

If Hunter can keep his hot head from getting him in trouble, he’s confident he can upset Selby and join Leo Santa Creu i Gary Russell Jr.. as U.S.-born world champion at 126 lliura.

See below for quotes from DeGale as he prepares to face Medina:
I’ve never disrespected an opponent yet in the ring and I’m not going to start now. Medina has a very good record and that means he is as dangerous and the next man. This is boxing and unless you prepare properly you get found out. I’m not going down that avenue. I’m a winner and what I do is get in the ring and win. That’s what Medina is up againsta world champion and a winner.
I’m too good for him, massa ràpid, massa forta, too quick. I’ll beat him and it is just a question of how. I don’t care how it comes as long as I look good and I give the fans what they want, another winning performance and a reminder that I am the best super middleweight out there operating today.
I respect Medina, but I belong in a different level and I will show that on Abril 30.
I’m looking forward to it because this is another chance to show what I can do in America and it is also a mini-tournament. The winner of my fight faces the winner of Badou Jack and Lucian Bute and that means a world unification clash. I want to clean up the division and I have the opportunity to do that.
I think Jack will win, but I’ve been in the ring with Bute and I know how strong he is. He is a proper fighter and I would always give him a chance against anyone. I think Jack will be too good for him, but who knows? I hope it is Jack as I’ve already taken care of business against Bute, but I want to unify the titles and that means I will fight whoever is put in front of me.
I’ve no trouble fighting in the U.S. and never will. I would love to win again and take on the winner of Jack and Bute in London, but that is down the line. What I am concentrating on right now is the next person who is standing in my way and that is Medina.
I can’t wait to get back in action because I live for fighting. It is in my blood and I know that a win over Medina means a very lucrative fight with Jack or Bute. I’m in this to make me financially comfortable for the rest of my life but above all, I’m in it for the glory.
The day I became world champion was the best of my life, along with winning Olympic Gold, and I don’t want to be a world champion for a few months. I want to be recognized as one of the greats in the super middleweight division. That means win a title and defend it against all-comers, anywhere and everywhere.

The winners will meet in a super middleweight world-title unification fight later this year.
Gat (20-1-1, 12 KOs) will make his second title defense after a breakthrough 2015 campaign in which he won the WBC belt from Anthony Dirrell and successfully defended against George Groves. The southpaw Bute (32-3, 25 KOs), a former IBF champion with nine defenses between 2007 i 2012, revived his career last November with a gutsy and inspired performance against DeGale.
I’ve been training really hard for this fight and I’m excited to get in the ring,” va dir Jack. “I can’t wait to defend my title once again on Abril 30. The fans can expect to see an explosive and skillful performance from me come fight night. I believe I’m the best super middleweight in the world and that I have the skills to beat anyone I get in the ring with. I’m fully focused on Lucian Bute, but I know that a win can set up a massive fight against James DeGale and I’m going to deliver.
I’m thrilled to have this tremendous opportunity,” Said Bute. “I was ringside for Badou Jack’s last two fightswell deserved world title wins. He is a great champion. I plan to train hard and be in the best shape of my career on Abril 30. It’s my chance to win the WBC belt and become two-time world champion. I will win and give boxing fans a spectacular fight.
DeGale (22-1, 14 KOs) will make his second title defense after an impressive 2015 in which he defeated Andre Dirrell to win the vacant IBF belt and topped Bute in a Fight of the Year candidate. The hard-hitting Medina (35-6, 29 KOs), the IBF’s mandatory challenger, has knocked out three consecutive opponents.
I am delighted to be defending my world title on another great show in the United States,” said DeGale. “I won my belt in style in Boston and I’m looking forward to moving down the East Coast to the great city of Washington, D.C. It’s going to be a defining night in the super middleweight division as Badou Jack and myself look to set up a huge fight later in the year. I’m fully focused on Rogelio Medina. He’s a tough Mexican who earned his title shot. Però confia en mi, no one is getting my world title.
This is such a great opportunity for me and I can’t wait to get in the ring,” said Medina. “I’ve worked so hard for this and I am going to make the most of it. Everyone who has seen me fight knows I leave it all in the ring and you can expect to see an all-out battle on Abril 30. Vaig a ser el nou campió del món.”

Mayweather Promotions is proud to bring another exciting night of boxing to the great boxing fans in my hometown of Washington, D.C.,” va dir Leonard Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions. “I’m really excited about the Badou Jack vs. Lucian Bute fight. Serà una gran baralla. We know Bute is tough as nails and he’s coming to take the title away from Badou. Badou is going to have to be at his best to be able to beat Bute that night. The winner of that fight will set up a spectacular unification fight with the winner of the fight between British champion James DeGale and Mexican brawler ‘Porky’ Medina. DeGale can’t take Medina lightly if he wants the unification bout. It’s going to be a thrilling night of action at the DC Armory and on SHOWTIME.
Badou Jack “El Esbudellador”, of Las Vegas by way of Stockholm, Suècia, captured the WBC 168-pound crown with a 12-round majority decision over previously unbeaten defending champion Anthony Dirrelllast Abril 24. A former amateur standout who represented Gambia in the 2008 Jocs Olímpics, Jack retained his belt against former world title challenger George Groves last Set. 12 on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather’s final fight. Gat, who fights under the Mayweather Promotions banner, was an underdog against both Dirrell and Groves. El 6-peus-1, 32-year-old has won four in a row since a shocking first-round knockout loss to Derek Edwards in February 2014.
Bute, de Mont-real, Canada by way of Romania, has been a super middleweight mainstay for the last decade. He has competed in 12 title fights since 2007, scoring seven knockouts in nine consecutive defenses of the IBF belt he won in 2007 in his adopted hometown of Montreal. During his title reign, the 36-year-old defeated the likes of Glen Johnson, Librado Andrade and Jean-Paul Mendy, but he lost the belt to Carl Froch in 2012 and a string of injuries kept him largely inactive over the next three years. Bute returned from a 19-month absence in August 2015 under new trainer Howard Grant, knocking out Andrea Di Luisa to set up the title shot against DeGale for the crown he once held. Bute stalked the switch-hitting DeGale with a relentless attack, turning in his most impressive performance in years in a close decision loss.
James “ChunkyDeGale, de Londres, Anglaterra, won the vacant IBF belt in his U.S. debut last May by dropping Andre Dirrell twice on his way to a unanimous decision. La 2008 Olympic Gold Medalist then successfully defended it last November in a thrilling shootout with hometown favorite and former titlist Lucian Bute. The 30-year-old, who’s only blemish came in a majority decision in his 11º bout against then-unbeaten George Groves, will make his third consecutive start outside his native England as he looks to become a global power at 168 lliura.
Rogelio “Porky” Medina is a hard-hitting veteran with 30 nocauts en el seu 36 career wins. He’s knocked out three consecutive opponents, including a shocking third-round knockout of then-undefeated J’Leon Love in August, 2014. Medina, 27, has suffered six losses in 42 baralles, although those defeats came against opponents with a combined record of 187-16-3, including four previously undefeated fighters.

MIAMI, Oklahoma. (Març 26, 2016) – On a night of knockouts, unbeaten super lightweight Regis "rougarou" PROGRAMES (17-0, 14 KOs), de Houston, scored his third consecutive dominant victory on ShoBox: La Nova Generació, knocking out Mexico’s Aaron Herrera (21-5-1, 12 KOs) a 2:17 de la primera ronda Divendres en l'esdeveniment principal enTEMPS DE LA FUNCIÓ de Buffalo Run Casino a Miami, Oklahoma.

 

In scheduled eight-round bouts that all ended early, Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk (10-0, 9 KOs), de Brooklyn, N.Y., registered a 21-second, nocaut en el primer assalt sobre Nick Givhan (16-1-1, 10 KOs), de Kalamazoo, Mich., in a super lightweight scrap, Ukrainian welterweight Ivan "El Volk" Golub (16-0, 10 KOs, 5-0 a la Sèrie Mundial de Boxa), de Brooklyn, N.Y., scored a sixth-round TKO over Marlon aigües (9-1, 6 KOs), de Quito, Equador, i Justin DeLoach (14-1, 8 KOs), of Augusta, Ga., who is trained by former world champion Paul Williams, registered a fourth-round knockout over undefeated super welterweight and local favorite Dillon “White Lightning” Cook (16-1, 6 KOs).

 

All but Prograis and Baranchyk were making their ShoBox debuts. Cuiner, Aguas and Givhan became the 143rd, 144º i 145º boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.

 

“I can’t remember a 15 any of working ShoBox a show with such emphatic knockouts – and two of them being spectacular knockout of the year candidates,'', Va dir ShoBox analista expert Steve Farhood.

 

PROGRAMES, a 5 peus setembre, 27-year-old originally from New Orleans, was fighting in his second consecutive ShoBox main event and second scheduled 10-rounder. The aggressive-minded southpaw pounded Herrera’s body from the opening bell; five of his six power punches were targeted to the Mexican’s midsection. A left hook to the body downed Herrera, who crumpled to the canvas and wasn’t able to beat the count.

“I was prepared to go 10 rondes completes, the last thing I was expecting was a first-round knockout,’’ said Prograis, who was making his 2016 debut. “I’m making hard fights look easy but they’re really not. It’s all the daily work in the gym all day every day that is paying off for me. Tonight was fun. I’m very satisfied.

“I want all the fighters in my division to know one thing: I’m coming after all of you.’’

“He just got me with a great shot, it was simple as that,’’ said Herrera, who making his second start in the United States. “There’s really not that much that I can say.’’

 

The highly regarded Baranchyk – making his second eight-round start and second in a row on ShoBox – knocked out Givhan with a huge left hand with the first power punch of the fight. He required only two punches to finish the 17-fight veteran. Surprisingly, it wasn’t the quickest professional KO for the Belarus native. Baranchyk owns a three-second KO over Angel Figueroa des 2015.

 

“I’m very happy,’’ Baranchyk said. “I was expecting a much longer fight. I was focused on a full fight. But knockouts are good. I know fans like knockouts.

 

“I’ll take a week off and then go back to the drawing board. I’m looking ahead to fighting again soon and on ShoBox again.’’

 

Givhan was shocked with the result.

 

I’m good but I am very, very disappointed,” Givhan said. “This is the lowlight of my life. For me to get knocked out by someone I know I can beat is just the worst feeling. And there’s nothing worse than for it to happen on national television.

 

No one expects 20-second fights. I just got caught, that’s all.

Golub, a former standout amateur from Ukraine, had to rally from the first knockdown of his career. “This was a little tougher than I expected,'', Va dir. “But it’s all about learning. I had to go through some adversity to win. You don’t know adversity until it hits you in the face.”

Golub was the more active fighter against the awkward Aguas, who was at his best when matters turned ugly. In a bizarre second round, southpaw Golub scored a questionable knockdown as Aguas hit the canvas while clinching and off-balance. Aguas bounced back seconds later to knock down Golub with a short right, sending the Ukrainian to the canvas for the first time in his career.

“I was surprised that I got knocked down, but he caught me off-balance,’’ Golub said. “Overall, I am very happy with my performance.”

Golub resumed control after the second and a series of combinations in the sixth sent a gassed Aguas falling back through the ropes in the closing seconds of the round. Aguas somehow rose to his feet to beat the count, but his trainer quickly waved off the bout when the Ecuadorian returned to the corner.

Aguas said an injury, not fatigue, was the reason his corner stopped the fight at the end of the sixth. “I hurt my right bicep in the fifth round,'', Va dir. “That’s the reason we stopped it. I wasn’t that tired.”

En la lluita d'obertura de la transmissió per televisió, DeLoach made Williams a winner in his training debut. With Williams looking on from his wheelchair in the corner, DeLoach, a winner of four in a row, dropped Cook with a devastating, counter-overhand right at 2:47 of the fourth that sent Cook awkwardly to the canvas in a knockout of the year candidate.

 

“I’m happy with my performance,’’ said DeLoach, who was the more active fighter, llançant gairebé 100 more punches over the four rounds. “This was a great experience fighting a guy like this in his backyard. I enjoyed the crowd and their enthusiasm. It motivated me. I got a little lazy in parts of the second and third rounds, but I listened to my corner and picked it up on offense and got my punch count up and going again.

 

“Dillon was a good fighter who moved a lot. I know I have to do better cutting off the ring. He landed with a left a second before I landed that big right. This was a great win for all of us. I’m ready to do this again.’’

 

“Look at me, look at my shirt. It feels like I was sweating worse than when I fought,’’ said Williams, who’s pro career came to a sudden and tragic end when he was paralyzed from the waist down after a motorcycle accident in May 2012. “I am very relieved to get this one out of the way. I’m very happy for Justin and Mr. Pete (Paul’s longtime manager and trainer and DeLoach’s assistant trainer, George Williams)

 

"Estic bé, all things considered,’’ said Cook. “He was a tough guy. I’ve never been knocked out before so I don’t exactly know how to act. I felt I was in the fight until I was caught. It’s disappointing, but this was a great learning experience for me. It can only help me in the long run.’’

 

A taped interview with Williams and ShoBox analyst Steve Farhood aired prior to the bout. In the discussion, Farhood asked the former two-time champ why he chose to return as a trainer for the first time since the 2012 motorcycle accident left him paralyzed.

REGIS PROGRAIS

 

"Aquesta és la meva baralla més gran. Hem estat al gimnàs durant dos mesos preparant-. Estem combat amb tots els estils, qualsevol cosa que es necessita per preparar-me.

"Tenia un divertit molt en la meva última baralla perquè (Abel) Ramos seguia arribant. Estic lluitant contra un veterà, a different kind of guy tomorrow. He’s tough with the Mexican style so I expect him to be smart and know all the tricks.

 

"Herrera s'acosta sense res a perdre, però m'encanta la lluita contra l'estil mexicà. He estat entrenant a Houston, per la qual cosa no portarà res que no hagi vist abans.

 

"Puc ser un esquerrà hàbil o puc barallar-. M'encanta lluitar, és per això que vaig començar en la boxa. La meva forma de pensar és que colpejar i lluita, quan s'arriba a això. A vegades, si no colpeig m'avorreixo, així que barrejar una mica més, així que vagin a donar i després puc tornar. Puc adaptar-se a qualsevol estil.

 

"Aquest és el meu tercera baralla en ShoBox i el segon esdeveniment principal. Jo la benvinguda a la pressió, però al mateix temps sé que he de ignorar i simplement gaudir i divertir-se allà.

 

"Mentalment, Sento que estic a punt per una baralla gran contra qualsevol dels principals contendents, però sé que aquest tipus de baralles són encara una mica baix de la línia per a mi. Encara tinc molta feina a fer; He de seguir colpejant fins que ho entenc bé.

 

"Estic amb ganes d'una bona baralla matí. ''

 

AARON HERRERA

 

"Aquesta és una baralla interessant perquè els dos estem pujant en l'esport. He vist algunes de les seves baralles i sé el que estic en contra. Sembla que Prograis li agrada venir endavant i ve a barallar, i vaig a fer el mateix, encara que estic probablement més d'un boxejador que un batedor.

 

"Es tracta de tenir cura dels negocis. He estat 12 rondes abans. I’ve fought some good fighters with good records. Això és només la meva segona baralla a Amèrica, però he après molt del primer i que sens dubte m'ajudi. Tinc més confiança. Això no serà una nova experiència per a mi.

 

"He lluitat amb els esquerrans abans, així que després d'un parell de rondes, Estic segur que vaig a sentir còmode. Estic sens dubte per guanyar. No puc esperar a escoltar la campana d'obertura. ''

 

Oi BARANCHYK

"Això és 100 cent el millor tipus que ens hem enfrontat. Nick és un gran lluitador i no ho pot subestimar. Sabem que qualsevol cosa pot passar en la boxa. Poso el treball al gimnàs i ara he de fer la meva feina al ring.

 

"Sóc un colpejador, M'agrada portar-lo i ja vaig pel nocaut.

 

"Jo només sóc 23 però treball molt dur i sento que estic arribant al llarg. Estic al gimnàs tot el temps. Una de les principals coses que treballem a la majoria és la compostura dins de l'anell. Em sento com si estigués establint més i treballar el jab, però encara és una cosa que treballem.

 

"Vostè simplement no pot anar i colpejar a tothom. No és tan fàcil. Cal configurar els seus cops vegades. Mai canviaré de ser un colpejador naturals, el meu equip no està tractant de portar el foc en mi, només volen que posar seny ''.

 

NICK Givhan

"Aquesta és una gran oportunitat i em sento beneït de ser aconseguir que es, però és una cosa que he estat treballant durant anys. Sento que aquest és el lloc on se suposa que he d'estar en aquesta etapa de la meva carrera. Només cal entrar al ring per assegurar-se que maneig meu negoci al ring

 

"És sens dubte un dels oponents més durs que he enfrontat. és gran, poderós i colpeja amb força tota la baralla. Però jo sóc el més dur que ha enfrontat.

"Això es perfila com un boxejador contra colpejador baralla que m'afavoreix. Es pot sortir colpejant en un primer moment, però una vegada que ha tocat que pot ser frustrat. Això és el que vaig a aprofitar, la seva sobre-agressivitat.

 

"Estic desitjant aprofitar el moment demà a la nit. ''

 

IVAN Golub

 

"Estic molt emocionat d'estar en aquesta targeta i desitjant lluitar en la meva primera ShoBox targeta. Aquest és un gran pas endavant i que serà una gran baralla.

 

"Quan em van donar l'oportunitat de lluitar a ShoBox, Ni tan sols preguntar qui estava lluitant contra. M'entreno amb alguns dels millors que hi ha (Ievgen Khytrov,Sergey Derevanchenko, etcètera). Però jo sóc més d'un boxejador-colpejador que alguns dels meus companys d'equip.

"Jo treballo molt dur. Jo estudi molt boxa. Sé que el meu temps està arribant. Mentre que mostren bones habilitats de boxa, el cop de gràcia vindrà ".

 

Marlon aquas

 

"Cal anar amb compte amb la figura famhters joo no saben res sobre, però jo vaig a donar 100 cent en allà. Sóc aquí per mostrar que tinc el que es necessita per convertir-se en un campió del món.

 

"Estic molt motivat. Aquesta és la meva primera baralla en la U.S. i per SHOWTIME així que estic buscant per fer una declaració. Sé que després d'aquesta baralla moltes portes s'obrirà. La gent pot no saber de mi ara, però ells em coneixeran després de demà a la nit.

 

"Tinc una gran quantitat de moviment, però també pot ser-hi cara a cara i baralla. They are making a mistake taking a step up and fighting me. They don’t know what they’re getting into.

 

"He estat fora causa d'una lesió a la mà esquerra, però és totalment curada i vull. He tingut un munt de combat.

 

"Estic més d'un estilista, el boxejador. M'agrada moure molt. Però si he d'anar-hi i ho faré baralla. Tinc moltes ganes de demostrar als aficionats que sóc digne de veure de nou. ''

 

DILLON CUINER

“This will be my toughest fight but I’m feeling great. I’m excited but not all that nervous. Hi ha lluitant a la televisió per primera vegada una mica de pressió, però no ha estat estressant.

 

"Aquesta és una baralla molt important; Estic a punt per a qualsevol cosa que porta. No estic tractant de sobre-pensar en res. Només vull fer el que faig.

 

"Es tracta d'un joc a casa per a mi. viu a 25 minuts. Pel que ajuda a que estigui acostumat a l'atmosfera i no han de viatjar.

 

"He vist una mica d'ell. Sento les coses que fa tot el temps treballarà en contra. El seu estil ve-cap endavant és un bon any per a mi. He tingut un munt de temps per preparar (cinc setmanes) per la qual cosa no hi haurà cap sorpresa.

 

"Crec que tinc les habilitats per anar a un pare molt, per això vull deixar una bona impressió.

 

“Speed and footwork are my biggest weapons. I’ve been dazed before, però no derrocat ''.

 

JUSTIN DeLoach

"Tot el que aquest punt ha estat una benedicció per a mi. Això és definitivament una gran baralla i estic mirant endavant a fer el que faig i posar en un gran espectacle. No he vist un munt de Dillon però ell està invicte i ve de guanyar. Estic a punt per al que aporta.

 

"Sento que tinc una gran quantitat de talent en brut que encara no s'ha vist. La meva meta principal és prendre el control de la baralla des del principi.

 

"Això és tan emocionant. My biggest and most important fight yet. If I do what I’m supposed to I’ll be OK. Aquest és el meu primer vuit assalts, però no estic preocupat per això en absolut.

 

"Som part d'una gran ShoBox espectacle. No puc esperar ''.

A member of Holden Productions“Four State Franchise”, the popular Cook is from nearby Seneca, MO and fought in front of sellout crowds on multiple occasions. While these are definite advantages for Cook, DeLoach comes into the ring with an impressive background.

 

Against DeLoach, 13-1 (7 Nocauts), Cook is taking a significant step up in competition and will do so before a national audience. Hailing from Augusta, GA and based in Houston, TX, DeLoach trained alongside top fighters including IBF junior middleweight champion Jermall Charlo, undefeated Jermell Charlo, Bryan Vera and Edwin Rodriguez amongst others. Recentment, Team DeLoach announced that his new chief second is former two division champion Paul Williams and highly respected George Peterson will work as an assistant.

“I’m excited for the fight but trying not to let the pressure of fighting on TV get to me,” said Cook, a former National Junior Golden Gloves titlist and six time Kansas City Golden Gloves winner. "(To specifically prepare for DeLoach) we’re working on (technique to counter) his style. DeLoach is a good fighter I’ve seen him fight a few times he’s fast and a busy fighter but I’m pretty fast myself. I expect to match his speed, if not beat it.”

 

Cook also acknowledges his advantages and never second guessed taking the step up in competition.

 

“I’m a smart fighter and can adapt well (plus the) hometown crowd is definitely a benefit. I knew we’d step (up the competition in the near future) and this is a great time for it. I’ve had 16 professional fights and am ready to show the world that I’m capable of going to the next level.”

 

Cook’s promoter, De Tony Holden, is confident in his fighter and believes the locals will come out droves to support him.

 

“I’m proud to see him get a shot on a national stage. He’s a key part of the “Four State Franchise” and is a big crowd draw. He’s worked very hard and I expect him to put forth a tremendous performance. I’d like to personally thank Showtime as well for this incredible opportunity.”

The card also features highly regarded junior welterweight Regis Prograis (16-0) against Aaron Herrera (29-4-1), two showdowns where somebody’s 0 must go between unbeaten welterweights Ivan Golub (10-0) and Marlon Aguas (9-0) and junior welterweights Ivan Baranchyk (9-0) vs Nicholas Givhan (16-0-1).
