Coverage of the event will be provided by Sky Sports with the play-by-play call from Nick Halling, analysis from Jim Watt och 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. 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,"Sade Stephen Espinoza, Vice VD & 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 när 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 Olympiska spelen i 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 sista match, 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 December. 12. Nu, Joshua returns to The O2, the site of his professional debut and five of his 15 professionella 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 ochWladimir Klitschko.

Född i Barry, Wales, Selby won his world title with a dominant technical decision over previously undefeated Evgeny Gradovich i maj 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 ochStephen 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. 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 och 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, för snabbt, För stark, 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.”

The winners will meet in a super middleweight world-title unification fight later this year.
Domkraft (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 och 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,” sade 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 buten. “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,” nämnda 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. Men lita på mig, 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. Jag kommer att vara den nya världsmästare.”

“Mayweather Promotions is proud to bring another exciting night of boxing to the great boxing fans in my hometown of Washington, D.C.,” säger Leonard Ellerbe, VD för Mayweather Promotions. “I’m really excited about the Badou Jack vs. Lucian Bute fight. Det kommer att 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 OS, Jack retained his belt against former world title challenger George Groves last Sju. 12 on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather’s final fight. Domkraft, 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, av 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. 30-åringen, 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 slagsmål, 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" PROGRAM (17-0, 14 Kos), av Houston, scored his third consecutive dominant victory on ShoBox: Den nya generationen, knocking out Mexico’s Aaron Herrera (21-5-1, 12 Kos) vid 2:17 av den första omgången Fredag i Main Event påShowtime från 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, första omgången knockout över Nick Givhan (16-1-1, 10 Kos), av Kalamazoo, Mich., in a super lightweight scrap, Ukrainian welterweight Ivan "Den 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, och 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 debuterar. Cook, Aguas and Givhan became the 143rd, 144th och 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 expert analytiker Steve Farhood.

 

PROGRAM, 5-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 fulla rundor, 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 från 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. Jag fastnade, det är allt.”

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,'' Sade 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,'' Sade han. “That’s the reason we stopped it. I wasn’t that tired.”

I öppnings slagsmål av telecast, 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, kasta nästan 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)

 

"Jag är 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

 

"Detta är min största kampen. Vi har varit på gymmet i två månader att få klar. Vi sparring med varje stil, något som krävs för att få mig redo.

"Jag hade en hel del kul i min sista match på grund (Abel) Ramos bara hålls kommer. Jag kämpar 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 inget att förlora, men jag älskar att slåss den mexikanska stil. Jag har tränat i Houston, så han kommer inte att ge något jag inte har sett förut.

 

"Jag kan vara en smart southpaw eller jag kan bråk. Jag bara älskar att slåss, vilket är anledningen till att jag startade i boxning. Min tänkesätt är att bang och kamp, när det kommer till kritan. Ibland om jag inte träffar jag uttråkad så jag blanda upp det lite mer så jag kommer att få träffa och då kan jag komma tillbaka. Jag kan anpassa sig till någon stil.

 

"Detta är min tredje kamp på ShoBox och andra main event. Jag välkomnar tryck men samtidigt vet jag att jag måste ignorera det och bara njuta och ha roligt i det.

 

"Mentalt, Jag känner att jag är redo för en större kamp mot någon av de bästa utmanare, men jag vet de typer av slagsmål är fortfarande lite ner linjen för mig. Jag har fortfarande en hel del arbete att göra; Jag måste hålla tjat det tills jag får det bra.

 

"Jag ser fram emot en bra kamp i morgon. ''

 

AARON HERRERA

 

"Detta är en intressant kamp eftersom vi båda kommer upp i sporten. Jag har sett några av hans matcher och vet vad jag upp mot. Det ser ut som Prograis gillar att komma fram och kommer att kämpa, och jag kommer att göra detsamma, även om jag förmodligen mer av en boxare än en slugger.

 

"Det handlar om att ta hand om verksamheten. Jag har varit 12 rundor innan. I’ve fought some good fighters with good records. Detta är bara min andra kamp i Amerika men jag lärde mig en hel del från den första och det kommer definitivt att hjälpa mig. Jag har mer förtroende. Detta kommer inte att bli en ny upplevelse för mig.

 

"Jag har kämpat med vänsterhänta innan så efter ett par rundor, Jag är säker på att jag kommer att känna sig bekväm. Jag definitivt komma att vinna. Jag kan inte vänta med att höra öppningen klocka ring. ''

 

Oy BARANCHYK

"Detta är 100 procent den bästa killen vi mött. Nick är en stor kämpe och vi kan inte underskatta honom. Vi vet att allt kan hända i boxning. Jag satte arbetet i gymmet och nu måste jag göra mitt jobb i ringen.

 

"Jag är en stans, Jag gillar att ta det och jag kommer för knockout.

 

"Jag är bara 23 men jag arbetar mycket hårt och känner att jag kommer tillsammans. Jag är på gymmet hela tiden. En av de viktigaste sakerna vi arbetar på det mest är lugn inne i ringen. Jag känner att jag slå sig ner mer och arbetar jab, men det är fortfarande något vi arbetar på.

 

"Du kan inte bara gå in och slå ut alla. Det är inte så lätt. Du måste ställa in dina slag ibland. Jag kommer aldrig att förändras från att vara en naturlig hålslag, mitt team försöker inte ta bort elden i mig, de bara vill att jag ska slå sig ner. ''

 

NICK GIVHAN

"Detta är en stor möjlighet och jag känner mig välsignad att få det, men det är något jag har arbetat för år. Jag anser att detta är där jag ska vara i detta skede av min karriär. Jag behöver bara få i ringen för att se till att jag hantera min verksamhet i ringen

 

"Han är definitivt en av de tuffaste motståndare jag har inför. Han är stor, kraftfull och slår hårt hela kampen. Men jag är den tuffaste han möter.

"Detta formar upp som en boxare kontra hålslag kamp som gynnar mig. Han kan komma ut jabbing vid första, men när han rörde han kan vara frustrerad. Det är vad jag kommer att dra nytta av, hans över aggressivitet.

 

"Jag ser fram emot att ta vara på tillfället i morgon kväll. ''

 

IVAN Golub

 

"Jag är mycket glad över att vara på detta kort och ser fram emot att kämpa på min första ShoBox kort. Detta är ett stort steg upp och det kommer att bli en stor kamp.

 

"När jag fick chansen att kämpa på ShoBox, Jag visste inte ens fråga vem jag kämpade. Jag spar med några av de bästa ute (Ievgen Khytrov,Sergey Derevanchenko, etc.). Men jag är mer av en boxare lagare än några av mina lagkamrater.

"Jag arbetar mycket hårt. I-studie boxning mycket. Jag vet att min tid kommer. Så länge jag visar goda boxning färdigheter, knockout kommer. "

 

marlon Aquas

 

"Man måste vara försiktig med hungriga fikonI htersu vet ingenting om, men jag kommer att ge 100 procent i det. Jag är här för att visa att jag har vad som krävs för att bli en världsmästare.

 

"Jag är mycket motiverad. Detta är min första kamp i US. och på Showtime så jag funderar på att göra ett uttalande. Jag vet att efter denna kamp en massa dörrar öppnas. Folk kanske inte känner mig nu, men de kommer att känna mig efter i morgon kväll.

 

"Jag har en hel del rörelse men kan också stå där tå till tå och bråk. They are making a mistake taking a step up and fighting me. They don’t know what they’re getting into.

 

"Jag har varit utanför på grund av en skada på vänster hand, men det är helt läkt och jag är redo. Jag har haft massor av sparring.

 

"Jag är mer av en stylist, boxaren. Jag tycker om att flytta runt en hel del. Men om jag måste gå på det och bråk jag kommer. Jag verkligen vill visa fansen att jag är värd att titta på igen. ''

 

DILLON COOK

“This will be my toughest fight but I’m feeling great. I’m excited but not all that nervous. Det finns en viss press slåss på TV för första gången, men det har inte varit nervpåfrestande.

 

"Detta är en stor kamp; Jag är redo för allt han ger. Jag försöker inte över tänka någonting. Jag vill bara göra vad jag gör.

 

"Detta är en hemmamatch för mig. Jag bor ca 25 minuter. Så det hjälper att jag är van vid att atmosfären och behöver inte resa.

 

"Jag har sett lite av honom. Jag känner de saker han gör hela tiden kommer att arbeta mot honom. Hans komma framåt stil är bra för mig. Jag har haft gott om tid att förbereda (fem veckor) så det kommer inte att finnas några överraskningar.

 

"Jag tror att jag har kompetens att gå mycket far, så jag vill lämna ett gott intryck.

 

“Speed and footwork are my biggest weapons. I’ve been dazed before, men inte nedslagen. ''

 

JUSTIN Deloach

"Allt till denna punkt har varit en välsignelse för mig. Detta är definitivt en stor kamp och jag ser fram emot att göra vad jag gör och sätta på en stor show. Jag har inte sett en hel del Dillon men han är obesegrad och kommer att vinna. Jag är redo för vad han ger.

 

"Jag känner att jag har en hel del talang som ännu ses. Min viktigaste är att ta kontroll över kampen från början.

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 och $75 and can be purchased by logging onto Buffalorun.com or Stubwire.com.

 

Obesegrad 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. Nyligen, 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) 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).
