The fact that Petr was training for another fight once again made it possible to create a superior fight under difficult circumstances,"Dijo Lou DiBella, El presidente de DiBella Entertainment. “New Zealand heavyweight prospect Junior Fa made a huge statement in his last appearance on SHOWTIME and he’ll look to keep that momentum going este viernes at Deadwood Mountain Grand against the tough Craig Lewis.

“The April 21 card features Adrien Broner, Jermall Charlo and Gervonta Davis – three of boxing’s “must-see” attractions – in highly competitive matchups against top contenders,"Dijo Stephen Espinoza, Presidente, Deportes & Programación de eventos, Showtime Networks Inc. “Adrien Broner is once again proving that he’s willing to take on the toughest available opponent in consensus top-10 welterweight Jessie Vargas. Hugo Centeno Jr. represents another tough challenge for knockout artist Jermall Charlo as he continues his quest to become a two-division champion. Gervonta Davis vs. Jesus Cuellar is another great matchup, with two power-punchers facing off for the 130-pound world title.”
Broner (33-3, 24 KOs) is one of the most gifted boxers in the sport, having won world titles in four different weight classes by the age of 28. The Cincinnati, Ohio native has won championships at 130, 135, 140 y 147 pounds while facing top competition across the various divisions. En su última pelea, Broner lost a unanimous decision to Mikey Garcia on Julio 29 at Barclays Center after previously defeating Adrian Granados earlier last year.
“I’m feeling really good and I’m excited that this is an even bigger fight than Figueroa,” said Broner. “I had to switch up some sparring partners but everything is going great in camp. We’re fighting at 144 libra, so he’ll have a slight weight advantage, but it won’t matter. I’m going to be in great shape for this fight. Coach Kevin Cunningham is my head coach for this camp, but I did not fire Mike Stafford. I just added to my camp, because I needed the help. I know what I have to do at the end of the day to get back on top where I belong.”
Vargas (28-2, 10 KOs), a 28-year-old former welterweight champion who was born in Los Angeles and now lives in Las Vegas, is always up for a challenge. His only two losses have come in welterweight title matches against pound-for-pound greats. He lost a controversial fight to Timothy Bradley, Jr. and dropped a unanimous decision Manny Pacquiao in a world title defense. Vargas won the welterweight title with a TKO victory over Sadam Ali in 2016 prior to the Pacquiao fight. Vargas is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Aaron Herrera in December as he works toward another world title opportunity.
“This is a fight that should garner a lot of attention from boxing fans and they deserve a fight like this,”Dijo Vargas. “We are two entertaining fighters who come in and give it their all. This is a fight that will have a lot of fireworks. I respect Broner and his skills, but he’s very beatable. The fight was presented to me and I didn’t think twice about taking it.. We as fighters and entertainers have to give the fans what they want. We had a fantastic fight en sábado in Brooklyn and we’ll have another one in April. I will have my hand raised and let everyone know I’m still a danger to anyone I face.”
Charlo (26-0, 20 KOs) ganó su título súper welter con un nocaut dominante de Cornelius Bundrage en 2015 y, finalmente alcanzado la distinción de la celebración de un título mundial en la misma categoría de peso (154 libra) como su hermano gemelo después Jermell ganó un título en 2016. Después de defender con éxito su título de las 154 libras en tres ocasiones, Charlo of Houston, Texas, made the move to 160 pounds with the goal of becoming a d-division world champion. In his debut at 160-pounds, the 27-year-old scored a TKO victory over Jorge Sebastian Heiland at Barclays Center on Julio 29. Charlo vs.. Centeno was originally scheduled for March 3 before being rescheduled due to a rib injury suffered by Centeno.
“I really love fighting in Brooklyn and at Barclays Center,"Dijo Charlo. “The fans in Brooklyn always show me a lot of love. Desde mi última pelea que he tenido la oportunidad de trabajar en mi paciencia y trabajar en mejoras a mi juego. Before the injury to Centeno, I was having the best camp of my life. Tengo la misma sensación que tenía antes de que yo gané mi primer título mundial. Quiero ser un campeón en 160 más de lo que hice la primera vez en 154. Centeno es un peleador duro. He’ll be a hard test but he’s someone who isn’t at my level. No estoy tomando nada lejos de él. But he’s just another fighter that’s in my way.”
Los 26 años de edad, Centeno (26-1, 14 KOs) llamó la atención de todo el mundo cuando se anotó un impresionante nocaut de Immanuwel Aleem en su última pelea el Agosto. 25. Esto fue suficiente para trampolín Centeno en el título de peso medio de contención. Centeno de Oxnard, Calif., successfully rebounded from a tough TKO loss to Maiej Sulecki on June 18, 2016 con una victoria sobre Ronald Montes antes de su partido contra Aleem. Centeno expects to be 100 percent healed and ready for the challenge by fight night.
“Estoy emocionado por la oportunidad,” said Centeno. “I was really devastated when we had to reschedule the fight, but I know I have to be 100 percent for this challenge. I think my last outing had a lot to do with me getting this fight. It helped to put me in this position. Charlo es un gran luchador con mucho talento. Siento que tenemos estaturas similares. Va a ser una pelea interesante. Creo que va a venir abajo a quién es el luchador más inteligente esa noche y que tiene más en el tanque hacia el final. Se trata de un cambio de vida, carrera que cambia la pelea para mí que podría llevar a cosas más grandes y mejores. Voy a ir a ganar.”
Davis (19-0, 18 KOs) is a proof that dynamite can come in a 130-pound package. El jugador de 23 años de edad,, de Baltimore, fought three times last year and ended all of his fights by stoppage. He won the 130-pound world title with a TKO victory over Jose Pedraza in a star-making performance at Barclays Center on Jan. 14, 2017. He traveled to London for his first title defense and stopped Liam Walsh by TKO on his home turf to retain the title on Mayo 21, and most recently scored a knockout victory over Francisco Fonseca on Agosto. 26 en la Mayweather vs. McGregor PPV undercard. Davis look to recapture a title in the 130-pound division after failing to make weight prior to the Fonseca fight.
“I’m the most exciting and skilled fighter on television and in 2018 I plan to show it,"Dijo Davis. "En Abril 21 volveré al ring, en vivo por SHOWTIME. Jesus Cuellar is arguably my toughest opponent to date. He is rough and tough, but I’m looking forward to the challenge. I’m more than happy to be fighting at Barclays Center where I won my first world title. Brooklyn is very close to Baltimore, so all of my people will be there to witness me become a world champion again.”
Cuellar (28-2, 21 KOs) is seeking to win a world title in a second weight class when he takes on Davis. A native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, the 31-year-old Cuellar won a featherweight world title with a TKO victory against Vic Darchinyan on June 6, 2015. Seis meses después he made a successful defense by winning a unanimous decision against Jonathan Oquendo before losing the belt to Abner Mares by split decision on December 10, 2016.
“The time I’ve had off since the Mares fight has refreshed me for this new opportunity,", Dijo Cuellar. “It took a lot out of my body to make 126 pounds for all of those years. Now I feel fresher and hungrier than ever before. I’ve been offered fights against lesser opponents in the last year but I’ve preferred to wait a little longer so that I can get a chance to fight the best. Gervonta Davis is one of the best in the world, so he’s the one I want to face and beat. Davis has never faced a fighter like me and he will see me at my very best on Abril 21."

CITAS FLASH
Deontay WILDER:
“I’m going to let the world know that the weight don’t mean a thing; it’s all mental at the end of the day. Like I’ve said, I’d rather be the part than look the part. I’ve said many a time that I put these guys on their ass, and that’s what I come to do Sábado noche. Over and over again all my guys have out-weighed me. So that’s nothing compared to where I came from, and nothing compared to where I’m going come Sábado noche. You’re all in for a treat and I can’t wait.
“On paper he’s looked good against the opposition he’s faced, but he’s never faced a Bronze Bomber; he’s never faced a guy who has more killer instinct than him. He’s never faced a guy who wants to just rip his head off, and I do mean rip his head off!
“I am the best and I’m ready to show en sábado night that I’m the best in the world.”
LUIS ORTIZ:
“Our training camp was prepared for whatever Deontay Wilder was going to bring into the ring, whether it was a runner, or a puncher – whatever he wants to do we have trained for it so there’s no problem.
“You have to adapt and make changes come fight night, and I’m prepared to do that and I’m experienced to do that. I’ve been waiting my whole career to do this as a pro and as an amateur this is something I never dreamed I would do, and I’m not losing mañana."
Andre Dirrell:
“I just saw a piece of meat, and I’m hungry.
“The IBF demanded this. There were two wrongs from the last fight and I was hit after the bell, and he was hit after the bell. The IBF wanted to right that wrong and this is the only way to do so. He deserves this shot and I deserve this shot. It’s going to be a better fight this time around.
“It’s all about what [new trainer] Virgil [Cazador] has done with my mind. The ability is there, as we all know. We’ve perfected that. And we’ve changed the mind this time, también.
“We all know that Jose Uzcategui is a fighter in full; that boy can throw, but that’s just not going to be enough come fight night.”
José Uzcátegui:
“The ref will not have to intervene; I’ll knock him out quicker this time.”
“Maybe if Virgil Hunter gets in the ring too because that’s the only way they’re going to win is if the corner gets in the rings. Because that’s the only way they will get the win.”
