STAFFORD, TX. (Agosto 5, 2021) – Two-division world champion Guillermo Rigondeaux gave insight into his training camp as he prepares to take on WBO Bantamweight World Champion John Riel Casimero il Sabato, Agosto 14 in the main event live on SHOWTIME from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

L'evento è promosso da TGB Promotions. I biglietti sono ora in vendita e possono essere acquistati su AXS.com. The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will begin at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and will see Cuba’s two-time Olympic gold medalist Rigondeaux, who has earned pound-for-pound recognition at various points in his career, return to action against the Philippine’s Casimero, a three-division world champion looking for a career-best victory in his second 118-pound title defense.

Here is what Rigondeaux had to say about training camp with Ronnie Shields and more:

On his upcoming matchup with John Riel Casimero: “It has been a very focused camp, and I have found inspiration watching the Olympics, and it has lit a spark in me. Winning two gold medals in my early years gives me added incentive to win this fight. I want to prove to the world that I am one of the best boxers ever, and that I have a lot left to give in this sport. I am confident that I am going to do that against the most avoided fighter in my weight class. Casimero is a dangerous fighter and a very powerful puncher, but I’m going to tame him with great boxing skills.”

On his recent training camp with coach Ronnie Shields: “Training in Texas with Ronnie Shields has been great and our energy working together is fantastic. Ronnie has had a lot of world champions, and has a very professional boxing gym, with a lot of world champions and fighters who are competing at the highest level of the sport. I am motivated to work hard, not just to reach my own goals, but by all the young fighters in the gym who are driven and focused. The atmosphere has brought something new out of me. I’m revived and feeling young again.”

On fighting for WBO world title: “It always feels good fighting for a world title, and I have had the WBO title before after I beat Nonito Donaire, but this time I’m going up against a hungry young lion. I am looking to capture another world title, and give another great fight that fans will talk about for years.”

On returning to the ring after a year-long layoff: “I feel good. I think at this point in my career, all the time away from the ring helps. I know how to fight and I know how to train, the big thing is knowing how to recover, and not damage my body. I am doing a good job at staying sharp in the gym, but not over training. A win against Casimero will do wonders for my career.”

Former World Champion Ivan Baranchyk and U.K. Stars
Daniel Dubois and Tommy Fury Compete in Separate Pay-Per-View Bouts from Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland

NEW YORK (Agosto 2, 2021) – Three more exciting matchups have been finalized for the highly-anticipated Jake Paul contro. Tyron Woodley SHOWTIME PPV fight card. Ex campione del mondo Ivan Barancyhk will compete along with U.K. stelle Daniel “Dynamite” Dubois e Tommy “TNT” Fury making their U.S. debuts in separate bouts on Domenica, Agosto 29 from Rocket Mortgage Field House in Cleveland, Ohio.

The five-fight SHOWTIME PPV telecast will begin at 8 p.m. ET / 5 pm. PT and be headlined by renowned content creator and undefeated professional boxer Jake “The Problem Child” Paul taking on the toughest challenge of his young career in the former UFC champion Tyron “The Chosen One” Woodley. The card also features the previously announced world championship showdown between Puerto Rican star and WBC/WBO Featherweight World Champion Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano and super bantamweight world champion Yamileth Mercado del Messico, which will serve as the co-featured bout.

A former junior welterweight world champion, Baranchyk will step into the ring to face the unbeaten Cleveland-native Montana Amore in a 10-round showdown on the pay-per-view. Baranchyk seeks another run at the 140-pound title, while Love looks to score a career-best win.

The hard-hitting heavyweight Dubois, che è classificato No. 1 dalla WBA, dovrà affrontare Joe Cusumano in un matchup 10 round, e Furia, the younger brother of heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, will square off against combat sports veteran Anthony “Pretty Boy” Taylor in a six-round, 180-pound catchweight fight to open the pay-per-view telecast.

Additional action at Rocket Mortgage Field House includes top-10 ranked junior middleweight and 2016 U.S. Olimpionico Charles Conwell assumendo Lucas Bastida of Argentina in a 10-round fight. Paul, Love and Conwell will be fighting critical bouts in front of their hometown fans at the Cleveland arena.

The event is co-produced by SHOWTIME PPV and Most Valuable Promotions and promoted by Tony and Bryce Holden of Holden Productions. The pay-per-view telecast is produced and distributed by SHOWTIME PPV. Barstool Sportsbook is the official sports betting partner for the event and will be incorporated in a unique, fully integrated brand activation that is to be announced in more detail.

The Belarusian Baranchyk now fights out of Oklahoma and will look to move closer to another world title opportunity with a win August 29. Sporting a 20-2 record con 13 ko, the 28-year-old returns to the ring after fighting in the 2020 Fight of the Year against Jose Zepeda last October. The two fighters combined to score a staggering eight knockdowns in the instant classic won by Zepeda. Baranchyk became a world champion in 2018 by stopping then unbeaten Anthony Yigit in seven rounds. He steps in against Love, a graduate of the ShoBox: La nuova generazione series who owns a 15-0-1 record with seven knockouts. A highly accomplished amateur, Love will be fighting in his hometown of Cleveland for the second time in his career.

“This is a big step for me,” said Baranchyk. “I am grateful to get back in the ring with someone like Montana after my loss. I want to show everyone that I’m back, I’m stronger, and I’m a new version of myself. I want to thank my fans for the support you’ve always given me. Il primo agosto 29, it’s SHOWTIME, bambino!"

“I know Ivan is a strong young fighter, but he has some ugly habits,” said Love. “We’re having a grueling camp right now and I’m going to keep it ‘Too Pretty’ on fight night. Cleveland deserves the show I’m about to put on.”

A promising heavyweight contender at 23 anni, Dubois has compiled a 16-1 record con 15 knockouts since turning pro in 2017. Dubois had an impressive amateur career as a five-time British junior national champion. A London-native, Dubois’ lone professional loss came against top heavyweight contender Joe Joyce in November 2020. Dubois rebounded quickly with an emphatic second-round knockout of Bogdan Dinu in June to capture the Interim WBA Heavyweight Title. Ora, he takes on the 33-year-old Cusumano, who has won four of his last five bouts with all of those victories coming by stoppage. With a record of 19-3, suo 17 knockouts give him an impressive 77% Rapporto KO. Fighting out of Danville, Virginia, Cusumano most recently knocked out Gregory Corbin in November 2020.

“I am ready now to push on and build on the WBA interim title I won in my last fight,” said Dubois. “I am thrilled to take the show on the road and look to win the American public over. I am told the American public love heavyweight boxing, so it is time to introduce them to Daniel Dubois. I will make sure it is a name they won’t forget.”

Already a crossover star after his runner-up finish on the hit U.K. reality TV show “Love Island”, Fury will look to follow in the footsteps of his boxing-rich family and establish his own championship legacy. The 23-year-old from Manchester is 6-0 con quattro ko, having most recently earned a unanimous decision over Jordan Grant in June. Fury will be opposed by Alameda, California’s Taylor, an experienced MMA competitor who dropped his sole pro boxing appearance in 2017 by split-decision. The 32-year-old’s MMA experience includes five Bellator fights and a 7-5 overall record with wins in his last five fights. Taylor is currently training in Puerto Rico and is a regular sparring partner of Jake Paul as he prepares for his bout against Woodley.

“American fans can, as always with me, expect a big dirty knockout,"Ha detto Fury. “That is what I say and that is what I try to bring. I want to put on a masterclass performance and show levels again and show how much I am improving. This is another step on my journey to world titles.”

LOS ANGELES– BELLATOR MMA’s massive second half of 2021 keeps rolling on Saturday, Ottobre 16, when both of the high-profile semifinal matchups for the Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix take place at the Footprint Center, home of the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury. Light heavyweight kingpinVadim Nemkov (14-2) defends his world championship against No. 4 classificatoAnthony “Rumble” Johnson (23-6), while current BELLATOR Heavyweight World ChampionRyan Bader (28-6) facesNo. 2-classificato dei pesi massimi leggeriCorey Anderson (15-5) in caso di co-main.

I combattimenti preliminari saranno trasmessi in streaming live sul canale YouTube di BELATOR MMA, SHOWTIME Sports canale YouTube e Pluto TV a partire da 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT. Additional bouts and ticket information will be announced at a later date.

Team Fedor’s Vadim Nemkov looks to remain BELLATOR 205-pound champion on September 25, further cementing his status as the best light heavyweight fighter on the planet. Nella sua ultima uscita, Nemkov went five hard rounds with former championPhil Davis, earning a unanimous decision victory en route to punching his ticket to the semifinals. Should Nemkov defend his belt again and move on to the grand prix final, between Davis—a wrestler by trade—and the power-punching “Rumble,” Nemkov will have showcased his full repertoire as a mixed martial artist in the tournament. Nemkov has been perfect in BELLATOR to this point, winning all six of his contests including three knockouts and a submission.

Bader—despite his participation in the Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix—remains the BELLATOR Heavyweight Champion, a title he plans on unifying with the interim-champValentin Moldavksy following the conclusion of the 205-pound tournament. Bader’s storied career has earned him the moniker of a legend slayer, with wins over all-time greats likeFedor Emelianenko, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, Rashad Evans, and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.

Corey Anderson has made an excellent impression since his arrival in BELLATOR, reeling off two dominant victories over the likes of veteranMelvin Manhoefand former ACA ChampionDovletdzhan Yagshimuradov, both ending via TKO. The Rockton, Malato. product came to the promotion boasting an already impressive resumé, previously triumphing over Johnny Walker, Glover Teixeira and Jan Błachowicz amongst others.

Unbeaten Super Bantamweight Contender Carlos Castro Faces Former Title Challenger Oscar Escandon To Open Telecast
a 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT

PHOENIX (Luglio 29, 2021) – Unbeaten two-time world champion David “El Bandera Roja” Benavídez will square off against former champion Jose Uzcategui in a WBC Super Middleweight title eliminator as Benavídez returns to his hometown of Phoenix for the first time in six years in the SHOWTIME main event on Saturday, Agosto 28 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Footprint Center – home of the Phoenix Suns and Mercury.

La trasmissione televisiva Showtime Championship Boxing inizia alle 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and will feature the much-awaited return of longtime contender Jose Benavídez, the older brother of David Benavídez, facing Argentina’s Francisco Emanuel Torres nel co-main event dei 10 round super welter. Kicking off the telecast is undefeated contender Carlos Castro taking on former title challenger Oscar Escandon in un 10 round super-gallo attacco. The Benavídez brothers and Castro hail from Phoenix and have their sights set on impressing their hometown fans.

I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo, che è promosso da Sampson Boxing e TGB Promotions, sono in vendita ora e sono disponibili per l'acquisto tramite Ticketmaster.com.

“I am happy to be bringing David ‘El Bandera Roja’ Benavidez back to his hometown to fight after so many years away,” said Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing. “It is going to be a sensational welcome party for him and all the fans.”

Ancora solo 24 anni, Benavidez (24-0, 21 KO) entra in questa lotta dopo aver eliminato i suoi ultimi quattro avversari, compreso un settembre 2019 knockout del due volte campione dei pesi medi Anthony Dirrell. Più di recente, he earned stoppage victories over Roamer Alexis Angulo in August 2020 and Ronald Ellis in March of this year. Benavídez è addestrato da suo padre José Sr., al fianco di suo fratello ed ex sfidante per il titolo, Jose Jr. In 2017, è diventato il più giovane campione dei pesi medi nella storia della boxe sconfiggendo Ronald Gavril su SHOWTIME a soli 20 anni. Rappresentando la sua nativa Phoenix, Ariz., Benavídez è passato da un prodigio di 15 anni a combattere con Gennady Golovkin e Peter Quillin, to world title contender with a 10-fight knockout streak from 2015 attraverso 2017, including a highlight-reel knockout of Rogelio Medina with a seven-punch combination that earned him his first title opportunity.

“I’m super excited to fight in front of my hometown fans,” said Benavídez. “It’s a dream come true for me to come back home as a two-time world champion. I’m training for Uzcategui like he’s a world champ because he has a lot of experience and he’s a hungry fighter. I know that he needs this win, but I won’t let that happen. I’m staying dedicated and motivated to win on August 28 on SHOWTIME and I want to look impressive doing it in order to get even bigger and better fights in the future.”

Born in Venezuela and fighting out of Tijuana, Messico, Uzcategui (31-4, 26 KO) captured a 168-pound world title in March of 2018 by stopping veteran contender Andre Dirrell after eight rounds. The 30-year-old put himself in position to fight for a title with four-straight stoppage victories from 2015 attraverso 2016, including a win over then-unbeaten Julius Jackson. Since losing the title to unbeaten champion Caleb Plant in January 2019, Uzcategui has rebounded to win three of his last four fights, including knockout wins in 2021 over Jaime Hernandez Lopez and Josue Obando.

“I’m excited to be back on the big stage for this fight,” said Uzcategui. “I know what I’m up against with Benavídez. Lui è un grande combattente, and that’s my biggest motivation. This is going to be a war and I can’t wait to give the people a great fight. Both of us come to brawl, so this is going to be a classic on August 28.”

The 28-year-old Benavídez (27-1, 18 KO) is the older brother of main event headliner David and returns to fight in his hometown of Phoenix for the first time in six years. A long-established contender, Benavídez will return to action for the first time since dropping a 147-pound title showdown to Terence Crawford in October 2018. Benavídez had previously earned wins over contenders such as Mauricio Herrera, Francisco Santana and Frank Rojas on his way to that world title opportunity.

“I’m really excited to be back in the ring after being out for a while,” said Benavidez. “I feel more mature, motivated and stronger than ever. Fighting alongside my brother and in my hometown is really a dream come true. I’m really looking forward to making a tremendous comeback. It doesn’t matter who they put in front of me, I guarantee that I’m going to take them out. No one is going to want to miss this night, because me and my brother are bringing the fireworks.”

A native of boxing-rich Buenos Aires, Argentina, Torres (17-3, 5 KO) enters this fight the winner of his last nine contests dating back to 2018. The 31-year-old will fight in the U.S. for the third time on August 28, having scored stateside victories over Cleotis Pendarvis in August 2020 and Louis Hernandez in February of this year. Torres most recently won a unanimous decision over Alexi Rivera in June as he prepares for his toughest fight to date against Benavídez.

“I’m very pumped up for this fight,” said Torres. “I want to thank my whole team for this opportunity to participate in such an important fight. This is a great chance for me to go to the next level against a great fighter who’s had an exceptional career. I will work very hard to get the victory on August 14 and raise high the flag of Argentina.”

Castro (26-0, 11 KO) has climbed the rankings since turning pro in 2012 as he seeks a shot at a super bantamweight championship. The Phoenix-native added two victories in 2020, defeating Jesus Ruiz in February before stopping longtime contender Cesar Juarez in four rounds in July. Castro was coming off a 2019 campaign that saw him score three victories, including 10-round unanimous decision triumphs over former title challenger Genesis Servania and veteran contender Mario Diaz.

“I’m very grateful for this opportunity to fight an excellent opponent in Oscar Escandon,” said Castro. “I’m very motivated to put on a great performance in front of my hometown fans. Il primo agosto 28, I’m going to be ready to showcase all of my skills and hard work in the ring so I leave with my hand raised.”

A native of Ibague, Colombia, Escandon (26-5, 18 KO) has faced a slew of top contenders and champions including featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr. and super bantamweight champion Brandon Figueroa, plus hard-hitting contender Tugstsogt Nyambayar. Escandon captured an interim title in 2016 when he knocked out Robinson Castellanos to earn his world title shot against Russell. Più di recente, Escandon scored a first-round knockout over previously unbeaten contender Jhack Tepora in December of 2019.

“I’m very focused on training for this fight because I know a win can lead me back to another world title opportunity,” said Escandon. “Castro is a good young fighter who has a solid jab and can move. But I think he’s the perfect opponent for me. There are a lot of things we can do to win this fight and I can’t wait to go in there on August 28 and show it.”

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. - Luglio 23, 2021 - Prospetto super medi Isaia Steen rimasto imbattuto, registrando una stretta decisione unanime vittoria su Kalvin Henderson sul 20th anniversario ShoBox: La nuova generazione su ORARIO DELLO SPETTACOLO® Venerdì sera di fronte a una folla chiassosa di Cornhusker all'Heartland Events Center.

Era il 258th ShoBox spettacolo e una notte di festa per la lunga e leggendaria serie iniziata nel 2001 e ha visto 84 ShoBox allume continua a vincere titoli mondiali. La serata consisteva in tre gare combattute con giovani prospetti abbinati a duri, che è stata una firma della serie per il passato 20 anni.

Steen di Cleveland, 24 anni (16-0, 12 KO) ha vinto l'evento principale con soli due round su una scorecard, 96-94, e 97-93 su altre due carte contro il 31enne Henderson (14-1-2,10 KO) di Fayetteville, Arca., nel primo incontro di 10 round delle carriere di entrambi i combattenti.

“È stata una decisione ravvicinata perché nei primi round non stavo seguendo il piano di gioco e stavo solo cercando di tirarlo fuori come faccio di solito nei miei combattimenti,"ha detto Steen, chi è il fratellastro di 2016 U.S. L'olimpionico Charles Conwell, che ha acclamato Steen da bordo ring. "Sarebbe stato bello avere il knockout, ma batterlo come ho fatto io è stato più incredibile".

Henderson ha battuto di poco Steen in due delle tre categorie di statistiche sui colpi, out-jabbing lui 20% (47-236) a 18% (50-281) e guadagnare un 2% bordo in punzoni totali, 28% a 26%. Steen orzo ha spinto Henderson nel reparto di power-punching, 42% a 41%, con l'atterraggio di Steen 58 di 138 e Henderson 59 di 144.

“Ho pensato che fosse una lotta serrata e che ho perso per una decisione ravvicinata,Henderson ha detto. “Ho perso la mano destra in Round 4 perché mi sono strappato la spalla e da allora in poi, Ho usato il sinistro per cercare di controllare il ritmo”.

Henderson ha aggiunto: "Avrei potuto tagliare un po' di più l'anello. Non volevo fargli sapere che non potevo usare la mia mano destra perché sapevo che avrebbe provato ad approfittarne. Il mio allenatore mi ha detto di provare a fingere la mano destra come se stessi per lanciarla, e poi colpiscilo con la mano sinistra. Abbiamo seguito il nostro piano di gioco, e tutto quello che volevamo fare".

Steen sa che il suo futuro è luminoso e vuole condividere le luci della ribalta con suo fratello ad agosto 29 mentre Conwell sta combattendo sull'undercard di un attesissimo evento SHOWTIME PPV a Cleveland.

"Voglio essere aggiunto al undercard della lotta di mio fratello sulla carta Jake Paul-Tyron Woodley nella mia città natale,"Lui ha detto. "Voglio riportarlo a Cleveland il mese prossimo".

Nella co-funzione che vede una coppia di 22enni, Mazzo di Shinard (15-1-1, 13 KO) e Janelson Figueroa Bocachica (17-0-1, 11 KO) combattuto per un controverso sorteggio diviso in un incontro welter di 10 round. Un giudice ha segnato il combattimento 97-93 a favore di Bunch, uno 96-94 a favore di Figueroa Bocachica e del giudice finale 95-95.

Mazzo di Trenton, N.J., e Figueroa Bocachica di Detroit erano entrambi vicini nei pugni tirati con 399 per grappolo e 390 per Figueroa Bocachica. Bunch ha usato il suo jab durante il combattimento, atterraggio 68 di 217 e atterrato 30.8% dei suoi pugni di potenza.

"Certo che pensavo di aver vinto la battaglia,"ha detto Bunch. "Sinceramente mi sento come se l'avessi vinto. Anche il suo allenatore ha detto che ho vinto la battaglia. Ho messo a segno i colpi più potenti, anche a livello di boxe; attaccarsi e muoversi. L'unica cosa che potevo fare di meglio era ottenere un knockout. Mi sembra di averlo ferito un sacco di volte. Non so cosa stessero guardando i giudici".

Figueroa Bocachica ha detto che pensava di aver vinto la battaglia. “Mi sentivo come se non avesse atterrato nulla che mi ferisse e ho applicato la pressione. Non ero d'accordo con i giudici, ma io sono il combattente non il giudice. Avrei potuto mettere pressione dall'inizio invece che dalla fine. Avrei potuto usare di più il jab. Ero pigro con la mano destra perché stavo per metterlo KO. Sono cose che devo imparare".

Ha aggiunto: "O si, ci saranno polemiche dopo questo. Viene con lo sport.”

L'apertura della trasmissione televisiva ha caratterizzato una lotta altamente competitiva in una battaglia di imbattuti con Martino Jules (11-0-2, 2 KO) segnando una vittoria unanime ShoBox veterano Aram Avagyan (10-1-2, 4 KO) in un affare piuma di otto round. I giudici ha segnato la lotta 77-74, 78-73 e 79-72 tutto a favore di Jules.

Il 24enne mancino Jules di Allentown, Pa., ha segnato un knockdown chiave nell'ultimo 45 secondi del combattimento di otto round. A seguito di un solido contatore a sinistra atterrato da Jules, Avagyan è scivolato, inciampando in ginocchio in quello che è stato giudicato un atterramento dall'arbitro Mark Nelson.

"Che svolta degli eventi nell'ultimo minuto del combattimento!"Ha detto ShoBox il commentatore dettagliato Barry Tompkins subito dopo l'atterramento.

“Continuava a saltare dritto verso di me, quindi ho continuato ad ascoltare il mio angolo e ad andare con la sinistra,"ha detto Jules, che sbarcò 85 della sua 295 pugni potenti a quelli di Avagyan 122 di 316. "Non appena è stato catturato con la sinistra è stato sbilanciato e la gamba sinistra è scivolata e basta".

Combattere sotto la bandiera delle Promozioni Salita, il 30enne Avagyan originario di Yerevan, Armenia, e ora residente in California, stava combattendo ShoBox per la terza volta e affrontando il suo quarto combattente consecutivo imbattuto.

Jules sapeva che era vicino a entrare nel round finale. "Penso che il knockdown mi abbia davvero aiutato ad assicurarmi il round,"Lui ha detto. “Una volta che è stato abbattuto, si stava precipitando per cercare di riprendersi, il che mi ha aiutato dato che potevo controllare un po' di più il ritmo”.

International Boxing Hall of Famer Tompkins ha chiamato l'azione da bordo ring con il collega Hall of Famer Al Bernstein e l'ex campione del mondo Raul Marquez che servono come analisti esperti. Il produttore esecutivo era Gordon Hall con la produzione di Rich Gaughan e la regia di Rick Phillips.

L'evento, che è stato promosso dalla Kings Promotions di Marshall Kauffman in associazione con Holden Productions, Promozioni Salita e DiBella Entertainment, ha riunito combattenti di sette diversi team di promozione e gestione della boxe.

LOS ANGELES - Oggi, I funzionari di BELLATOR hanno confermato un evento principale imperdibile che vede i pesi massimi che colpiscono duramente Cheick Kongo (30-11-2) e Sergei Kharitonov (32-8) l'uno contro l'altro in alto BELLATOR MMA 265 il Venerdì, Agosto 20 dal Pentagono di Sanford a Sioux Falls, S.D. e va in onda in diretta su SHOWTIME a 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

La carta ha anche confermato i migliori pesi piuma No. 3 Adam Borics (17-1) e No. 4 Jay-Jay Wilson (8-0) si incontreranno per il diritto di affrontare il vincitore della finale del BELLATOR Featherweight World Grand Prix tra Patricio "Pitbull" (32-4) e AJ McKee (17-0), che si svolge il sabato, Luglio 31.

Tickets for the event go on sale this Thursday at 10 a.m. CT and are available at Sanford Pentagon Box Office & Ticketmaster.

The preliminary portion of BELLATOR MMA 265: Kongo vs. Kharitonov currentlyfeatures a flyweight bout pitting No.5-ranked Alejandra Lara (9-4) contro DeAnna Bennett (10-7-1) and willbegin at 6:00 p.m. E / 3:00 p.m. PT and stream live on the BELLATOR MMA YouTube channel, Canale YouTube di SHOWTIME Sports e Pluto TV. Additional preliminary bouts will be announced in the near future.

In possesso di un impressionante record di MMA di 30-11-2, 1 NC, Non. 3-ranked Cheick Kongo returns to action for the first time since headlining the first-ever major MMA event in his native France last October. The former kickboxer remains a force to be reckoned with and holds records for the most fights (16) e vince (12) in BELLATOR heavyweight history. With high-profile victories over Vitaly Minakov, Mirko Cro Cop, Antoni Hardonk, and Matt Mitrione, the Parisian is keen to pad his current promotional records, set new ones, and earn his shot at BELLATOR gold.

The man nicknamed “The Paratrooper,”Kharitonov è il proprietario di un curriculum altrettanto notevole MMA, with the Russian scoring vicious wins against some of the sport’s marquee names, such as Fabricio Werdum, Andrei Arlovski, Pedro Rizzo, Murilo “Ninja” Rua, Matt Mitrione, e Alistair Overeem. Ora, fresh off two championship victories on the regional circuit, Kharitonov returns to the BELLATOR cage with the intention of climbing the heavyweight rankings and asserting himself as a BELLATOR title contender.

28-year-old Hungarian Adam “The Kid” Borics has won 17 di 18 fights to begin his professional career, bouncing back from his only loss with three straight victories. Training out of South Florida’s Sanford MMA gym, Borics has firmly established himself as a true threat to anyone in the 145-pound division, where he is currently ranked third.

Undefeated in his first eight fights as a professional, New Zealand’s Wilson has won in style, accumulating six finishes in those eight wins. Following a split decision win against Tywan Claxton, Wilson scored a violent knockout of Sergio DeBari, then followed that victory up with an equally vicious spinning backfist stoppage over SBG’s Pedro Carvalho in April. The Kiwi fighter will be looking to secure a high-stakes victory over Borics with a world title shot awaiting the winner.

QUI LE VIDEOINTERVISTE POST-COMBATTIMENTO

C-Juliana Velasquez (12-0) sconfitto #3-Denise Kielholtz (6-3) via split decision (48-47, 47-48, 48-47)

Juliana Velasquez:
“I think I would be clinching a bit more, her striking didn’t surprise me, but I felt that I did enough to retain the title.”

“I beat her with my jab, if you look at her face, it’s messed up, if you look at mine, my face is fine. I think people in the audience favor her because she has a kickboxing style and I counter, but I think it was my boxing that was the difference tonight.”

“When I come in here, I don’t think of myself as a champion, I think of myself as someone who needs to earn the belt and tonight I felt that I did that.”

#5–Tyrell Fortune (11-1, 1 NC) sconfitto #7-Matt Mitrione (13-9, 1 NC) via presentazione (scioperi) a 1:45 del primo round

Tyrell Fortune:
“I feel great coming out of the fight. He stepped forward so I went for the shot instead of throwing the punch and I guess I made contact with my head. Besides that I was running through him for the takedown. As you saw, I finished on top, and the fight went from there.

“I didn’t feel it (the clash of heads), I can only go off of what he was saying at the time. Come ho detto, I was just looking to get on top and continue to fight so I didn’t really know what else to do. I thought if there was a contact that the ref would have saw and we would have stopped that’s why I paused for a second on top of him. I didn’t go right to punching. Once the ref said to continue, I was continuing to fight.

“I want Tim Johnson. Non voglio una title shot. Preferirei prima Tim Johnson. Questa è davvero l'unica battaglia per cui mi sono allenato da quella sconfitta. A me, con lui che si prende quella perdita (contro Valentin Moldavsky) e io ottengo questa vittoria, dovrebbe allinearci bene... non proverò a bussare il suo a– fuori proprio come ha fatto con me".

Matheus Mattos (13-2-1) sconfitto Cee Jay Hamilton (15-9) via TKO (scioperi) a 1:33 del secondo round

Matheus Mattos:
"E' un lottatore. Così, avrebbe potuto fare il gioco noioso e buttarmi giù. Ma ha scelto di andare per il sorprendente. Fortunatamente, lo ha fatto perché era un bellissimo knockout. Se Bellator potesse mandarmi più attaccanti, allora sarebbero i benvenuti”.

"Mi sento benissimo, perfettamente forte. Ma ho sentito il mio ginocchio "colpire". E ho smesso di muovermi molto. Non ho fatto molto footwork. Sapevo che sarebbe stato nelle mie mani, because my leg was painful. Fiduciosamente, everything went well.

“My two losses were to two of the best in the world. Così, I’ve been fighting at a high level a long time and I’m prepared for everyone. They can see that this fight welcomed me to Bellator, and now they know me. They know Matheus Mattos is a striker and he’s coming for us.

“I’m in my prime now so I’m prepared for everyone.”

#2–Arlene Blencowe (14-8) sconfitto Dayana Silva (9-6) via TKO (punzoni) a 1:00 di tre tondo

Arlene Blencowe:
"Mi sento benissimo. I want to give a shout out to my kids at home. I’ve been away from home for nine weeks and it’s the longest I’ve ever been without my kids. Così, this win is for you.”

“I was just trying to gauge my distance. It was starting to be a little bit of a slow fight, so sorry about that fans. I could hear you yelling. Ma ero determinato a mantenere il mio ritmo e a non precipitarmi in nulla. Sapevamo che oscillava con potenza e che il gancio destro e sinistro arrivavano abbastanza velocemente. Abbiamo lavorato molto sui calci, e domani avrò molti lividi. E si spera che anche i suoi polpacci saranno doloranti".

#5-Johnny Eblen (9-0) sconfitto Travis Davis (10-5) tramite decisione unanime (30-27, 30-26, 30-26)

Johnny Eblen:
"I miei allenatori quando sono tornato all'angolo mi hanno detto di non litigare. Così, Ho seguito il loro consiglio e ho pensato di aver lottato in modo intelligente".

“Stava parlando s— detto, 'Hey, facciamo una rissa nell'angolo.' Sono come, 'Fra, è stupido.' Ecco perché non sei dove sono io. Perché non combatti in modo intelligente. Stai cercando di venire qui e litigare. Puoi farlo quanto vuoi, but you’re not going to be a world champion like me.”

Carta preliminare:
Said Sowma (7-2) sconfitto Ronny Markes (19-9) via KO (punzoni) a 1:09 del primo round
Cody Law (4-0) sconfitto Theodore Macuka (1-1) via TKO (punzoni) a 1:54 del primo round
Diana Avsaragova (4-0) sconfitto Gabriella Gulfin (2-3) via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)
Adil Benjilany (6-3, 1 NC) sconfitto Johnny Soto (4-2) tramite decisione unanime (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

Former World Champion Rau’shee Warren Duels Damien Vázquez In Telecast Opener at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT

Biglietti in vendita ora!

CARSON, CALIF. (Luglio 15, 2021) – Two-division world champion Guillermo Rigondeaux will face bantamweight world champion John Riel Casimero for his WBO belt onSaturday, Agosto 14 live on SHOWTIME headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.

La trasmissione televisiva Showtime Championship Boxing inizia alle 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and will also see rising unbeaten contender Antonio Russell face the toughest test of his career in former world champion Emmanuel Rodríguez as they vie for the WBA Interim Bantamweight Title in the co-main event. Kicking off the telecast, l'ex campione del mondo Rau'shee Warren duels Damien Vázquez in a 10-round bantamweight bout.

L'evento è promosso da TGB Promotions. I biglietti sono ora in vendita e possono essere acquistati su AXS.com.

“Guillermo Rigondeaux is one of the most skilled fighters in all of boxing and he will seek to add to his resume against the exciting three-division champion and reigning 118-pound titlist John Riel Casimero,"Ha detto Tom Brown, Presidente di Promotions TGB. “These are two fighters who have accomplished a lot in the sport, but each can elevate themselves to new heights with a victory on August 14. In caso di co-main, Antonio Russell looks to announce himself as the next Russell brother in line for a world title, against the sturdiest test of his career in Emmanuel Rodríguez. Opening up the night of bantamweight duels, Rau’shee Warren can step closer to regaining a bantamweight championship when he faces Damien Vázquez. These three fights will have huge implications on the future of the bantamweight division, which always provides great action for the fans.”

A longtime champion of the 122-pound division, Rigondeaux (20-1, 13 KO) moved down in weight and captured a WBA bantamweight title against Liborio Solis in February 2020 su Showtime. Since turning professional in 2009 after one of the best amateur careers in history, Rigondeaux has showcased masterful technical skills that made him a unified super bantamweight world champion and perennial member of the pound-for-pound list. A two-time Olympic gold medalist for his native Cuba, Rigondeaux made his name with victories over the likes of Nonito Donaire, Rico Ramos and Joseph Agbeko.

“This is a big fight for me and my team because we have a chance to win that WBO title,”Ha detto Rigondeaux. “Fighting on SHOWTIME once again is going to be fun and I’m grateful for the opportunity. Although I’ve been out of the ring for well over a year, I’m still in great shape and have plans to ruin Casimero’s dreams. I know he has a lot of power, but he’s fighting a man with excellent boxing skills and a high ring IQ. I’m going to box circles around Casimero and show him what ‘El Chacal’ is all about. My trainer Ronnie Shields, and I have been working on some new tricks, so don’t be surprised if I knock him out.”

The 32-year-old Casimero (30-4, 21 KO) of Ormoc City, Leyte, Philippines will make his second title defense in this August 14 matchup, having successfully defended it for the first time by knocking out Duke Micah in September 2020. Casimero trains in Las Vegas and originally won the title with an impressive third-round stoppage of Zolani Tete in November 2019. The three-division champion had previously captured titles at flyweight and light flyweight in a career that dates back to 2007. This will be his third career fight in the U.S. and his second to take place at Dignity Health Sports Park.

“I am very excited to be back on SHOWTIME and fighting in Southern California where a lot of Filipino fans can come see me fight,” said Casimero. “I look forward to defending my title against Guillermo Rigondeaux. Rigondeaux is known to a lot of Filipino fans for beating my fellow countryman Nonito Donaire . I will show the boxing world how to beat Rigondeaux and send him into retirement once and for all.”

The middle brother between WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Jr. e 2016 U.S. Olympian Gary Antuanne, Antonio Russell (18-0, 12 KO) announced his arrival amongst the bantamweight division contenders with a technical decision over former world champion Juan Carlos Payano in December 2020 su Showtime. The 28-year-old from Capitol Heights, Md. diventato professionista in 2015 after an impressive amateur career. After four wins in 2019, Russell kicked off 2020 defeating Jesus Martinez in February.

“I’m very excited for this fight on August 14 su Showtime,” said Russell. “I’ve put in the work and I’m always ready to fight, no matter when the call comes. I’m so focused right now. Rodriguez is the only thing on my mind and I’m ready to put on a show.”

The 28-year-old Rodríguez (19-2, 12 KO) returns to action after dropping a controversial split-decision to Reymart Gaballo last December on SHOWTIME. Fighting out of Manati, Puerto Rico, Rodríguez won the IBF Bantamweight World Title with a unanimous decision victory over Paul Butler in 2018 and successfully defended it against then-unbeaten Jason Moloney. Rodríguez went on to lose the title to unbeaten champion Naoya Inoue in their May 2019 title bout.

“I can’t wait to get back in the ring for this fight,disse Rodriguez. “Everyone knows what happened in my last fight against Gaballo. Questa volta, I’m not leaving it up to the judges. I’m going for the knockout and a statement victory.”

Conigliera (18-3, 4 KO) bounced back from a close decision loss in a world title fight against then unbeaten former champion Nordine Oubaali in January 2019 by earning decisions over Gilberto Mendoza and Sharone Carter. A southpaw from Cincinnati, Ohio, Warren won the WBA Bantamweight World Championship with a majority decision over Juan Carlos Payano in 2016 and lost the title the next year to Zhanat Zhakiyanov by split-decision. The 34-year-old became the first three-time Olympic boxer from the U.S. when he qualified for consecutive Olympic teams in 2004, 2008 e 2012.

“Vázquez is not the type of fighter that can compete with me,” said Warren. “When they sent me the name, I looked at one of his fights and 10 seconds was all I needed to see. I really want to face Rigondeaux, but I’m going to handle this and I’m going to wait until I get who I want to get. I’ve been sparring with a lot of top amateurs and that’s been keeping me sharp. They throw punches in bunches and they’re keeping me on my toes heading into August 14.”

The 24-year-old southpaw Vázquez (15-2-1, 7 KO) was born in Thornton, Col. and now fights out of Las Vegas. The younger brother of former two-time champion Israel Vázquez, he most recently lost to super bantamweight champion Brandon Figueroa last September after having previously scored a stoppage win over Alejandro Moreno in February of 2020. Vázquez turned pro in 2013 and reeled off 14 consecutive wins to begin his career in the paid ranks.

“This is a great opportunity for me,” said Vázquez. “I turned pro at sixteen-years-old, so I took a much needed break after the Brandon Figueroa fight. Now I’m back and more ready than ever. I’m back fighting at bantamweight and that’s for sure the best weight for me going forward. I’m ready to show the world what I’m capable of. Questa sarà una guerra. Warren is a world class fighter, but if he thinks this is an easy fight, then he is totally mistaken and I’ll prove it on August 14.”
