NEW YORK (Mars 29, 2016) - Den SHOWTIME BOKSING INTERNATIONAL presentation of the IBF Heavyweight World Championship between undefeated American titlist Charles Martin and fellow unbeaten British Olympic Gold Medalist Anthony Joshua will air live on SHOWTIME ved 5 pm. OG/2 pm. PT påLørdag, April 9 fra The O2 i London.

An encore presentation will air later that evening on SHOWTIME EXTREME at 8 pm. OG/PT.

Den SHOWTIME BOKSING INTERNATIONAL telecast will be hosted by Brian Custer with analysis from Al Bernstein og Paulie Malignaggi. Coverage of the event will be provided by Sky Sports with the play-by-play call from Nick Halling, analysis from Jim Watt og Carl Froch and post-fight interviews from Andy Scott.

The SHOWTIME telecast will include extensive highlights and analysis of the IBF Featherweight World Championship between defending titlist Lee 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 på 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. Jeger (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,"Sa Stephen Espinoza, Konserndirektør & 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 April 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 når Vyacheslav Glazkov suffered a knee injury in the third round of their vacant world title fight. In capturing the IBF belt, Martin, St. Louis, Mo., 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 sekunder. The 29-year-old Martin, who is trained by U.S. Olympian Henry Tillman in Big Bear, Calif., 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. I sin siste kamp, 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 Desember. 12. Nå, Joshua returns to The O2, the site of his professional debut and five of his 15 profesjonelle bouts, 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 ogWladimir Klitschko.

Født i Barry, Wales, Selby won his world title with a dominant technical decision over previously undefeated Evgeny Gradovich i mai 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 ogStephen 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.

Jeger, who will take a four-fight win streak into his initial start outside the U.S., has always possessed an abundance of talent. Before turning pro, 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 mot Mike Oliver for hitting at the break. The other came againstLuis Franco i 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 Cruz og Gary Russell Jr. as U.S.-born world champion at 126 pounds.

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 against – a world champion and a winner.
“I’m too good for him, for fort, for sterk, 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 April 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.”

OG/7 pm. PT) fra DC Armory i Washington likespenning.
The winners will meet in a super middleweight world-title unification fight later this year.
Jekk (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 og 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,” sa Jack. “I can’t wait to defend my title once again on April 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 fights — well deserved world title wins. He is a great champion. I plan to train hard and be in the best shape of my career on April 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, Likespenning. 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. Men stol på meg, 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 April 30. Jeg vil bli den nye verdensmesteren.”

“Mayweather Promotions is proud to bring another exciting night of boxing to the great boxing fans in my hometown of Washington, D.C.,” Said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO i Mayweather Kampanjer. “I’m really excited about the Badou Jack vs. Lucian Bute fight. Det kommer til å bli en stor kamp. 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 “The Ripper”, of Las Vegas by way of Stockholm, Sverige, captured the WBC 168-pound crown with a 12-round majority decision over previously unbeaten defending champion Anthony Dirrelllast April 24. A former amateur standout who represented Gambia in the 2008 OL, Jack retained his belt against former world title challenger George Groves last Sju. 12 on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather’s final fight. Jekk, who fights under the Mayweather Promotions banner, was an underdog against both Dirrell and Groves. Den 6-fot-1, 32-year-old has won four in a row since a shocking first-round knockout loss to Derek Edwards in February 2014.
Bute, of Montreal, 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 “Chunky” DeGale, London, England, won the vacant IBF belt in his U.S. debut last May by dropping Andre Dirrell twice on his way to a unanimous decision. Den 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 11th 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 pounds.
Rogelio “Porky” Medina is a hard-hitting veteran with 30 knockouts i hans 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 kamper, although those defeats came against opponents with a combined record of 187-16-3, including four previously undefeated fighters.

MIAMI, Okla. (Mars 26, 2016) – On a night of knockouts, unbeaten super lightweight Regis "Rougarou" PROGRAMMER (17-0, 14 KOs), av Houston, scored his third consecutive dominant victory on ShoBox: Den nye generasjonen, knocking out Mexico’s Aaron Herrera (21-5-1, 12 KOs) ved 2:17 fra den første runden Fredag i hovedturneringen påSHOWTIME fra Buffalo Run Casino i Miami, Okla.

 

In scheduled eight-round bouts that all ended early, Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk (10-0, 9 KOs), av Brooklyn, N.Y., registered a 21-second, første runde knockout i løpet Nick Givhan (16-1-1, 10 KOs), av Kalamazoo, Mich., in a super lightweight scrap, Ukrainian welterweight Ivan "The Volk" Golub (16-0, 10 KOs, 5-0 i World Series of Boxing), av Brooklyn, N.Y., scored a sixth-round TKO over Marlon Aguas (9-1, 6 KOs), Quito, Ecuador, og 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 debuterer. Cook, Aguas and Givhan became the 143rd, 144th og 145th boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.

 

“I can’t remember i 15 år of working ShoBox a show with such emphatic knockouts – and two of them being spectacular knockout of the year candidates,'' Sa ShoBox ekspert analytiker Steve Farhood.

 

PROGRAMMER, en fem-fot-9, 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 fulle runder, 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 fra 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,'' Sa han. “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,'' Sa han. “That’s the reason we stopped it. I wasn’t that tired.”

I åpnings kampen av sendingen, 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, kaster nesten 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)

 

"Jeg er OK, 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

 

"Dette er min største kamp. Vi har vært i gymsalen i to måneder å få klar. Vi sparring med hver stil, noe det tar å få meg klar.

"Jeg hadde en hel masse moro i min siste kamp på grunn (Abel) Ramos bare fortsatte å komme. Jeg kjemper en veteran, 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 kommer med ingenting å tape, men jeg elsker å kjempe meksikansk stil. Jeg har trent i Houston, så han vil ikke ta med noe jeg ikke har sett før.

 

"Jeg kan være en glatt keivhendt eller jeg kan slagsmål. Jeg bare elsker å kjempe, det er derfor jeg startet i boksing. Min tenkemåte er å banke og kampen, når det kommer til stykket. Noen ganger hvis jeg ikke treffer jeg blir lei, så jeg blande det opp litt mer så jeg vil komme hit og så jeg kan komme tilbake. Jeg kan tilpasse seg enhver stil.

 

"Dette er mitt tredje kamp på ShoBox og andre main event. Jeg ønsker trykket, men samtidig vet jeg har jeg å ignorere det og bare nyte og ha det gøy i det.

 

"Psykisk, Jeg føler jeg er klar for en viktig kamp mot noen av de beste kandidatene, men jeg vet slike kamper er fortsatt litt ned linjen for meg. Jeg har fortsatt mye arbeid å gjøre; Jeg trenger å holde pounding det før jeg får det all right.

 

"Jeg ser frem til en god kamp i morgen. ''

 

AARON HERRERA

 

"Dette er en interessant kamp fordi vi begge kommer opp i sporten. Jeg har sett noen av hans kamper og vet hva jeg er opp mot. Det ser ut som Prograis liker å komme frem og kommer til å kjempe, og jeg vil gjøre det samme, selv om jeg er nok mer av en bokser enn en slugger.

 

"Dette handler om å ta vare på virksomheten. Jeg har vært 12 runder før. I’ve fought some good fighters with good records. Dette er bare min andre kamp i Amerika, men jeg lærte mye fra den første, og det vil definitivt hjelpe meg. Jeg har mer selvtillit. Dette vil ikke være en ny opplevelse for meg.

 

"Jeg har kjempet med venstrehendte før, så etter et par runder, Jeg er sikker på at jeg skal føle seg komfortable. Jeg definitivt kommer til å vinne. Jeg gleder meg til å høre åpningen klokken ringen. ''

 

Oy BARANCHYK

"Dette er 100 prosent den beste fyren vi har møtt. Nick er en stor fighter, og vi kan ikke undervurdere ham. Vi vet at alt kan skje i boksing. Jeg satte arbeidet i gym, og nå jeg må gjøre jobben min i ringen.

 

"Jeg er en puncher, Jeg liker å ta det, og jeg kommer for knockout.

 

"Jeg er bare 23 men jeg jobber veldig hardt og føler at jeg kommer sammen. Jeg er i gym hele tiden. En av de viktigste tingene vi jobber med mest er composure inne i ringen. Jeg føler at jeg slo seg ned mer og arbeider jaben, men det er fortsatt noe vi jobber på.

 

"Du kan ikke bare gå inn og banke alle ut. Det er ikke så lett. Du må sette opp dine slag noen ganger. Jeg kommer aldri til å endre seg fra å være en naturlig puncher, laget mitt er ikke prøver å ta bort brannen i meg, de bare vil ha meg til å slå seg ned. ''

 

NICK GIVHAN

"Dette er en stor mulighet, og jeg føler meg velsignet å være å få det, men det er noe jeg har jobbet mot i mange år. Jeg føler det er der jeg skal være på dette stadiet av karrieren min. Jeg trenger bare å få i ringen for å sørge for at jeg håndtere min virksomhet i ringen

 

"Han er definitivt en av de tøffeste motstanderne jeg har møtt. Han er stor, kraftig og slår hardt hele kampen. Men jeg er den tøffeste han har møtt.

"Dette figurer opp som en bokser versus puncher kamp som favoriserer meg. Han kan komme ut jabbing først, men når han rørte han kan være frustrert. Det er det jeg vil dra nytte av, hans over aggressivitet.

 

"Jeg gleder meg til å gripe øyeblikket i morgen kveld. ''

 

IVAN Golub

 

"Jeg er veldig glade for å være på dette kortet, og ser frem til å kjempe på min første ShoBox kort. Dette er et stort steg opp, og det kommer til å bli en stor kamp.

 

"Da jeg fikk sjansen til å kjempe videre ShoBox, Jeg hadde ikke engang spørre hvem jeg var kjempe. Jeg sparre med noen av de beste der ute (Ievgen Khytrov,Sergey Derevanchenko, etc.). Men jeg er mer av en bokser-puncher enn noen av mine lagkamerater.

"Jeg jobber veldig hardt. I studier som boksing mye. Jeg vet at min tid kommer. Så lenge jeg viser god boksing ferdigheter, knockout vil komme. "

 

Marlon AQUAS

 

"Du må være forsiktig med sulten figI htersu ikke vet noe om, men jeg kommer til å gi 100 prosent i det. Jeg er her for å vise at jeg har det som trengs for å bli en verdensmester.

 

"Jeg er veldig motivert. Dette er min første kamp i US-. og på SHOWTIME så jeg ønsker å gjøre en uttalelse. Jeg vet at etter denne kampen mange dører vil åpne. Folk kan ikke kjenne meg nå, men de vil vite meg etter i morgen kveld.

 

"Jeg har mye bevegelse, men kan også stå der tå til tå og slagsmål. They are making a mistake taking a step up and fighting me. They don’t know what they’re getting into.

 

"Jeg har vært av på grunn av en skade i min venstre hånd, men det er helt leget og jeg er klar. Jeg har hatt mange sparring.

 

"Jeg er mer av en stylist, bokseren. Jeg liker å flytte rundt mye. Men hvis jeg må gå på det og slagsmål jeg vil. Jeg ønsker virkelig å vise fansen at jeg er verdig til å se igjen. ''

 

DILLON COOK

"Dette er en hjemmekamp for meg. Jeg bor ca 25 minutter. Så det hjelper at jeg er vant til atmosfæren, og ikke trenger å reise.

 

"Jeg har sett litt av ham. Jeg føler de tingene han gjør hele tiden vil jobbe mot ham. Hans komme frem stilen er en god en for meg. Jeg har hatt god tid til å forberede (fem uker) så det vil ikke være noen overraskelser.

 

"Jeg tror jeg har kompetanse til å gå mye far, så jeg ønsker å forlate et godt inntrykk.

D Cook.jpg

Seneca, MO (Mars 18, 2016) - På Mars 25, junior middleweight prospect Dillon “White Lightning” Cook will find himself in a familiar place but with a new challenge when he battles Justin DeLoach in an eight round bout on ShoBox: The New Generation at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, OK.

 

Tickets for the event promoted by DiBella Entertainment and Holden Productions are $45, $55 og $75 and can be purchased by logging onto Buffalorun.com or Stubwire.com.

 

Ubeseiret i 16 professional bouts with six wins by knockout, Cook’s fought five of his last seven matches at the Buffalo Run, winning handily each time. 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 KO s), 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. Nylig, 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.

 

To prepare for DeLoach, Cook’s been training out of the Heartland Boxing Gym and travels to various gyms for sparring as he anxiously waits for the opening bell on Mars 25.

 

“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, 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 Cook-DeLoach bout opens up a quadrupleheader live on Showtime (10:30 PM ET). 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).
