LONDRES (Novembre. 4, 2016) – Undefeated IBF Heavyweight World Champion Anthony Joshua (17-0, 17 KOs) et challenger Eric Molina (25-3, 19 KOs) went face-to-face Friday at the kickoff press conference at Dorchester Hotel in London to formally announce their heavyweight world title fight on Samedi, Décembre. 10, live on SHOWTIME from Manchester Arena in Manchester. Il y avait 17,000 tickets sold on the first day to purchase tickets.

Joshua, a British sensation and the 2012 Olympic Games heavyweight gold medalist, will be making the second defense of the title he won over Charles Martin dernier Avril 4. Joshua knocked out previously unbeaten Dominic Breazeale in the seventh round last Juin 25 in his initial defense.

Molina will be getting his second opportunity at a world title. Molina has won two straight since challenging WBC title holder Deontay Wilder en 2015, y compris un 10e-TKO sur ancien champion du monde Tomasz Adamek dernier Avril 4 en Pologne.

Here’s what the heavyweights said:

ANTHONY JOSHUA:

“I don’t think that I’ll be rusty. I’m not going to say camp is smooth or great because it’s always tough and exhausting for the body. I needed a break because I live in the gym, it’s what I’ve been doing since I was 18 and I haven’t taken my foot off the gas since. The task is to express myself under the bright lights in the arena and show what we’ve worked on in the dark corners of the gym.

“I started preparing my body for camp and then training for this date. I don’t want to mention Wladimir Klitschko too much because that’s not the relevant opponent – Eric Molina is the man that will stand across the ring from me on Décembre 10. He’s a tough competitor and represents a strong challenge to me. We are competing for my belt and the guys that want to become world champion raise their levels by 50-60 pour cent.

“There’s nowhere to hide on fight night. There’s no change in my focus for Eric. Wladimir doesn’t enter the equation for me. People will talk about him and I’ll answer the questions, but that’s as far as it goes. He’s not in my mind, Eric is.

“It takes courage to step into the ring. Deontay Wilder is known as a one-punch KO artist and Eric stood up to his power, so it shows that he’s here to push the champion and take my title.

“I don’t get involved in other people’s issues or stories, it’s nothing to do with me. It wasn’t that long ago that no one cared what I was doing, so I don’t really have to prove myself to anyone aside from myself.

“The division has been blown wide open but they’ve been saying that for a while and they will keep saying it until someone dominates the division again. It’s not so much about brand and hype, it’s about guys like Eric that come with true heart and are gladiators and fight for the love of the sport, and leave everything in the ring on fight night.

“There’s a lot at stake and with Sky Sports and SHOWTIME behind us, this is a big stage to show what you have got. I’m serious about what I do and about moving forward. I don’t have a script, I can only speak from the heart; whatever Eric’s destiny is, that’s what will happen on the night. If his destiny is to become heavyweight champion, ainsi soit-il. But my destiny is to carry on the path I am on and put in a dominant performance on an explosive night of boxing in Manchester."

ERIC MOLINA:

“I’ve been in these fights before. I have no amateur experience so I’m learning no the job — and I’m getting better every fight. I fought five rounds against Wilder with a busted ankle, so everything you saw from me was done on one ankle. That’s the kind of guy this young man is facing. I fight with everything I’ve got. Even if I’m hurt, I still fight, because I know that one punch at any given moment can win me the fight. Anything can happen in the heavyweight division.

“I knew this fight was coming my way because nobody wants to fight him. Let’s be real. All the other fighters want to go and fight other guys and for the other belts and not face Anthony Joshua. I’m a guy that’s been in with Wilder – no one wants to fight Wilder, but I did, and that’s why I’m in London today and will be in Manchester on Décembre. 10 putting it all on the line, body and soul. I want that IBF belt, I don’t have the option to go for another belt or down another route. This is it for me, and that means he’s going to have the toughest fight of his career, I can guarantee that.

“Tomasz Adamek had never been KO’d, so the momentum from that win in Poland was big. I felt it was time to take time off from work and put 100 percent into this.

“Back home, people know me as a certain type of fighter. On day one of my career I lost in the first round and that’s why on the back of my shirt it says ‘The Art Of Bouncing Back.’ Those aren’t just words. Boxing is the most brutal sport when it comes to trying to bounce back. Once you lose, everybody is gone from your side. There are fighters out there that say they want to bounce back but they don’t have the guts to put themselves in a position to do it. I put myself in the fight with Wilder and I went to Poland and beat Adamek to bounce back and show people who I am.

“You have to prove yourself in this sport and then you can claim the rewards. I didn’t have an easy road to get here, I’ve had to do it the hard way and I’ve earned my way here.’’

CITATIONS FINALES:

TARAS SHELESTYUK

 

"Herrera est un bon combattant, un dur combattant. Je sais qu'il a vaincu de bons combattants comme Mike Jones, qui était un combattant de haut niveau qui avait été absent quelques années. Mais je suis 100 pour cent prêt. Je m'attends à un combat très dur et excitant, mais je m'attends à être beaucoup plus fort et plus intelligent.

 

"Je suis excité pour toute l'attention de ce combat et je reçois. J'ai toujours su que les fans en Amérique me connaissaient mais peut-être maintenant plus qu'avant. je pense que l'année prochaine, Je peux devenir encore plus connu.

 

« J'ai travaillé sur ma force et je suis devenu plus puissant. Je pense que mes compétences en boxe sont déjà bonnes, mais ma vitesse et ma puissance sont meilleures qu'avant. Je sens en sparring que je frappe plus fort.

 

« J'aime travailler le corps. J'aime le fait que tu en atterrisses assez tôt, ils prennent un péage en retard. C'est une bonne chose de se battre en tant que pro. Je me sens bien dans ma carrière; J'espère combattre certains des meilleurs combattants de la division d'ici un an.

 

"Je suis sûr que Herrera va probablement essayer de venir à moi; il n'y a aucune chance qu'il puisse me battre à la boxe. J'aime les gars qui s'avancent. Ils sont bons pour moi parce que je peux contrer et me déplacer d'un côté à l'autre. Et je suis prêt à me battre à l'intérieur si nécessaire.

 

« Je sais que je peux améliorer mon dernier ShoBox lutte. Je l'ai fait plus près qu'il n'aurait dû l'être. Si c'était à refaire, je pense que je l'arrêterais peut-être juste à cause de ce sur quoi nous travaillons dans le gymnase.

 

« Sparring avec Shane Mosley a été énorme pour moi. C'est un si grand combattant. Quand j'étais plus jeune, je regarderais ses combats. Maintenant on s'entraîne. Il est plus âgé mais toujours très bon. Il connaît tous les trucs et me donne beaucoup de conseils qui m'aident dans et hors du ring. Tout ce qu'il m'a dit, J'ai essayé de postuler.

 

JIMMY HERRERA:

"J'ai travaillé pendant deux mois complets pour ce combat donc je suis prêt. Cela va être un très bon test pour nous deux, un grand combat. C'est un bon boxeur européen, un autre invaincu pour moi. Mais je n'ai pas du tout l'impression d'être l'opprimé. Il a ses atouts, j'ai mes atouts.

 

"Il doit y avoir un but pour chaque coup de poing. Chacun doit compter. S'il s'ouvre et fait une erreur, je dois en profiter. Je dois le sortir de son rythme tôt, le forcer à sortir de sa zone de confort et lui faire combattre mon combat.

 

« Je serai l'agresseur. Mais j'aimerais s'il était l'agresseur. je pense simplement, bien que, le connaissant, il va essayer de boxer et gagner les rounds comme ça. Je travaille tout le temps en avançant et c'est ce que je ferai demain.

 

« Un gamin de Chicago, comme moi, il est difficile d'aller n'importe où dans la boxe sans connexions, donc finalement après s'être battu si longtemps sans manager, J'ai signé avec Cameron Dunkin. J'ai toujours su que je pouvais être un bon boxeur, mais je n'ai jamais pensé que je serais un boxeur. Mais regarde moi savoir, Je me bats sur SHOWTIME et ce combat ne pourrait pas arriver à un meilleur moment.

 

CONSTANTIN BEJENARU:

« Je pense que votre carrière d'amateur vous donne une bonne base, comme un débutant, mais une fois que vous devenez pro, c'est un jeu totalement différent. Peu importe qui a plus d'expérience en tant qu'amateur. En tant que professionnels, nous devons tous faire notre travail ici.

 

"Je ne connais pas Bujaj, mais j'ai vu son combat avec Junior Wright donc je sais qu'il est dur.

 

"Je pense que c'est un grand pas pour moi. Il est 16-0, un bon combattant qui peut frapper ou boxer, et c'est pour une ceinture. C'est un bon combat pour nous deux.

"Je travaille dur pour chaque combat et cela ne fait pas exception. Nous savons que nous devons faire attention aux détails. C'est un gars dangereux mais je suis très confiant.

 

"Je ne m'attends vraiment pas à un combat facile. Je dois appuyer sur l'action. Je dois le mettre aussi mal à l'aise que possible.

 

"Je n'ai pas beaucoup de KO professionnels mais la boxe n'est pas seulement une question de puissance. La boxe c'est l'intelligence et le mental; ce n'est pas juste un combat de rue pour moi.

 

"C'est mon deuxième combat sur ShoBox. Je suis tellement heureux d'être de retour après cette dernière victoire contre Zubov. Le but est de s'occuper, revenez au début de l'année prochaine, puis d'ici l'année prochaine, soyez prêt à vous battre pour un titre majeur d'un certain type.

 

STEVE BUJAJ:

 

"J'attends ce combat avec impatience, mon premier à la télévision en réseau, pour voir où j'en suis. La façon dont je me sens, j'ai tout a gagner, tout à perdre. Cela me pousse au prochain niveau, ou je reste où je suis.

 

"Je suis prêt pour tout type de combat. Je suis un combattant polyvalent et j'aurai l'avantage de la hauteur.

 

"Je me sens prêt maintenant pour les plus gros combats, l'exposition supplémentaire sur SHOWTIME, les cotes, les titres, tout. Mais je le serai certainement encore plus après Vendredi.

 

"Je ne sens pas que ça va 10 tours. Je sens que je vais le briser et éventuellement l'arrêter. Je sens que j'ai les compétences et certainement le cœur. Je suis en bonne santé et prêt à partir.

 

"J'ai vu son dernier combat le ShoBox, et je pensais que c'était assez décent. Il est assez petit pour un cruiserweight. Bien que nous soyons tous les deux de New York, Je n'avais jamais entendu parler de lui avant.

 

"Le camp s'est super bien passé avec beaucoup de sparring. À Las Vegas. Je me suis entraîné avec des combattants de Mayweather comme Ronald Gavril, Badou Jack et l'usine de Caleb. Cela fait quatre ans que je n'ai pas combattu un gaucher mais je ne le considère pas comme un facteur.''

 

VITOR JONES FREITAS:

"Je remercie Dieu et mes deux oncles de m'avoir aidé à arriver là où je suis, pour m'avoir appris et guidé à chaque étape de ma vie et en boxe. Sans leur influence et ce qu'ils ont fait pour moi depuis que je suis 11, Je sens que je serais mort aujourd'hui.

 

"Je suis très excité à propos de ce combat et de l'opportunité de combattre de meilleurs gars. Pour moi, il s'agit de profiter de l'opportunité.

 

"Je gagne de plus en plus d'expérience. Mon objectif est de travailler dur et, comme mon oncle Acelino, faire de bons combats et devenir champion du monde“

 

"Nous avons étudié le style de combat de Mendez et avons beaucoup de respect pour son entraîneur, Joel Diaz. Je sais que Mendez est très fort et s'avance. Je ne sais pas s'il aime quand ses adversaires attaquent sur les côtés mais je suis prêt à le combattre sur les côtés, de la tête aux pieds et des pieds à la tête.

 

MANUEL MENDEZ:

 

"C'est mon neuvième combat avec Joel et nous nous connaissons très bien. A travers le mal et le bien, il a été là pour moi.

 

«Je suis sûr que Freitas a confiance en ses capacités, mais comme tout autre combattant invaincu, il se débrouille bien jusqu'à ce qu'il heurte le mur., c'est ce que Joël veut que je lui fasse faire. Il veut que je le punisse, prendre mon temps.

 

« Je sens que j'ai un pouvoir naturel, peut prendre un coup de poing et avoir du cœur. Frappe moi autant que tu veux, mais attention une fois que je me connecte et que je change les choses. Mon objectif est toujours de les briser, en commençant par le corps.

 

"Je n'ai peut-être pas le pedigree de certains de ces gars, mais j'apprends la défense, comment me rythmer, rester calme et surtout, juste comment se battre. Plus d'expérience, plus tu deviens mature.

 

"Demain Je veux juste être moi et écouter Joel dans le coin. Je ne voudrais pas être à ma place. S'il veut se lever et bang, Faisons le. Je vous garantis que c'est lui qui revient après les premiers instants.

COURONNE, Californie. (Novembre. 2, 2016) — Cruiserweight ultra-confiant invaincu Steve “Superman” Bujaj (16-0-1, 11 KOs), de Westchester, N. Y., intervient avant son important combat de 10 rounds avec un autre invaincu Constantin Bejenaru (11-0, 3 KOs, 0-1-1 dans les World Series of Boxing), de Brooklyn, N. Y., au milieu du match d'une ShoBox: Le triple en-tête de la nouvelle génération ce Vendredi, Novembre. 4, du centre d'événements Omega Products à Corona, Californie.
Bujaj (prononcé “Boo-ha”), 26, a gagné quatre fois de suite, y compris ses deux derniers par KO, depuis qu'il a boxé un match nul en 10 rounds dans un slugfest avec Junior Wright, triple champion des Golden Gloves de Chicago, alors invaincu (10-0) en Mai 2014. Un double champion des Golden Gloves de New York, Bujah, qui se battra sur ShoBox la première fois, vient de remporter un TKO au premier tour contre Sergio Ramirez, invaincu auparavant (11-0) sur Juin 11

Bejenaru (prononcé “bay-zhin-nah-ROO”) fait son deuxième départ ShoBox. Dans ses débuts dernier Avril 15, le natif d'Ungheni, Moldavie, a marqué une décision unanime en huit rounds contre Alexey Zubov, invaincu auparavant (10-0), un ancien champion amateur de Russie et sept fois champion d'Europe amateur. Southpaw Bejenaru a boxé dans l'équipe nationale roumaine pour 10 ans et a été neuf fois champion national.

Voici ce que Bujaj a dit:

Que savez-vous de Bejenaru et quelles sont vos pensées?

“Je sais qu'il est invaincu, 11-0 et un gaucher, but I don’t believe he’s on my level. I think I’m a different class fighter and will be able to show it vendredi.”

What kind of fight do you expect?

“I don’t really have any expectations. When I get in there, I make my adjustments, and then I start breaking him down.”

What is the key to winning? What are your advantages?

“My best advantage is my experience. I’ve fought 10 tours avant. This is his first time. I believe that I’m more skilled than he is, and I believe that I have more heart and just think I have the edge all around.”

On fighting on ShoBox the first time?

“I’m very excited and grateful for the opportunity that has been given me. I’m ready to go out and perform and show the world what I’m all about — et c'est l'un des meilleurs gars de la division cruiserweight.”

Votre avis sur la division cruiserweight?

“La division cruiserweight est une bonne division avec beaucoup de bons combattants. J'ai l'impression qu'il y aura plus d'exposition à l'avenir car il y a tellement de combattants talentueux et de bons combats qui peuvent arriver. J'ai hâte de faire partie de certains des grands combats et de faire du bruit.”

Que signifierait pour vous une victoire sur ShoBox?

“Une victoire sur SHOWTIME serait vraiment énorme, mais surtout ça me ferait continuer.”

Font-ils une erreur en te combattant?

“je ne pense pas qu'il s'est trompé, mais je refuse de perdre ce combat. je vais tout donner. Il n'est pas à mon niveau et je vais le prouver. Je vais me battre.”

Sur son slugfest avec l'ancien challenger du titre mondial Wright?
“Je gagnais le combat mais je me suis cassé la mâchoire au quatrième round. j'ai eu un mauvais embout buccal, un pas cher. Je ne savais pas que les embouchures devaient être ajustées. Le chirurgien m'a dit si j'avais eu un bec pro, je n'aurais pas eu de problème.
“Je crois toujours que n'importe qui d'autre aurait abandonné ce combat. j'avais très mal, Je ne pouvais pas fermer ma bouche parce que la mâchoire était cassée, je crachais du sang. Mais je me suis accroché malgré la mâchoire.

“Je l'ai sorti debout dans la dernière demi-minute environ, mais l'arbitre a arrêté le combat pour lui laisser le temps de scotcher un des lacets de son gant.. Cela lui a donné le temps de récupérer. Si l'arbitre ne l'avait pas arrêté quand il l'a fait, J'ai l'impression que je l'aurais assommé.”

Sur sa carrière?

“J'ai dû travailler dur pour ma carrière. Je n'ai pas de dossier rembourré. Je ne l'ai pas aussi facile que la plupart dans leur carrière. Je n'ai pas de grand promoteur, et je ne suis pas choyé. J'ai combattu des durs tout au long de ma carrière mais j'ai beaucoup appris et je n'ai aucun regret. Mais je sens qu'il est temps pour moi d'intensifier. Après j'ai gagné Vendredi sur ShoBox, beaucoup de portes devraient commencer à m'ouvrir.”
Nouveau surnom?

“J'ai été connu sous le nom de « Superman » toute ma carrière, mais je pense le changer en “Acier.” Le combat de Wright a prouvé beaucoup de moi, et j'ai beaucoup appris. Je ne quittai. Je suis très dur et fort d'esprit, fait d'acier.'”
Bujaj vs. Bejenaru est prévu pour 10 tours et fera partie d'une ShoBox: Le triple titre New Generation en direct sur SHOWTIME à 10:30 p.m. ET/PT (retardés sur la côte ouest).

ORANGE, Californie. (Novembre. 2, 2016) – Perspective légère percutante Manuel mendez (12-1-2, 8 KOs) fait son U.S. television debut against unbeaten Vitor Jones Freitas (12-0, 6 KOs) cette Vendredi, Novembre. 4, du Omega Products Event Center in Corona, Californie.

Freitas vs. Mendez is scheduled for eight rounds and kicks off a ShoBox: The New Generation tripleheader live on AFFICHER L'HEURE à 10:30 p.m. ET/PT (retardés sur la côte ouest).

Mendez, who is trained by the well-regarded Joel Diaz, is putting the finishing touches on a training camp that saw him spar against former world champions Victor Ortiz, Ruslan Provodnikov and elite prospect Vergil Ortiz.

Thompson Boxing caught up with the 26-year-old slugger from Indio, Californie. and got his take on de ce vendredi ShoBox fight.

(On your first time fighting in front of a nationally televised audience) ...

“Il est une grande opportunité. I always push myself to the limits and this fight is no different. I have a fan-friendly style that the SHOWTIME audience is going to love.”

(On paper your fight against Freitas appears evenly matched, but most are giving the upper hand to your opponent) …

“I’ve always been the underdog all my life so this is another shot to prove myself. Freitas has a famous name, but that’s about it. He hasn’t faced anyone that approaches my ability.”

(On what you expect from Freitas) …

“The first few rounds will go a long way in knowing what he has. From watching tape, it seems like he has speed, but the most important thing is gauging his power. I can take a punch so once I feel him connect with something, then I’ll know what he has to offer.”

(On your relationship with Joel Diaz) …

“We have an excellent relationship. He’s incredibly helpful in that I’ve seen a great deal of improvement since I’ve been with him. Everything is better. My conditioning, mouvement de la tête, jeu de jambe; I’ve improved in a lot of areas. He’s a great teacher.”

(How would you describe your style for those that have yet to see you fight?) ...

“I’m a smart boxer that pressures fighters into making mistakes. I have all the tools needed to wear down opponents. You’ll always see me in front of you to the point where you get annoyed and start making mental errors. That’s when I put the hurt on you.”

Chicago Welterweight Looks to Defeat Another Unbeaten Boxer When He Faces Taras Shelestyuk in Main Event Of ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération tripleheader, Ce vendredi, Novembre. 4, En direct sur SHOWTIME®

Laisser un commentaire
NEW YORK (Novembre. 1, 2016) – Pince-monseigneur “La Vérité” Herrera is accustomed to entering the ring as an underdog. The Chicago native is experienced in fighting favored prospects and contenders on the road and has had an inordinate success in these types of matchups, having defeated unbeaten prospects in four of his last nine fights.

So don’t expect Herrera (15-3-1, 8 KOs) to be in awe of his opponent, former Ukraine amateur standout and rising star, Taras Shelestyuk (14-0, 9 KOs) when they meet this Vendredi, Novembre. 4, in the 10-round welterweight main event on ShoBox: La Nouvelle Générationsurvivre Showtime (10:30 p.m. ET/PT, retardés sur la côte ouest) à Omega Products Event Center en Couronne, Californie.

Le 5 pieds 10, 27-year-old Herrera has won three in a row and is 8-1-1 since dropping a close eight-round decision to Adrian Granados en Février 2012. One of those victories was an upset seventh-round TKO over one-time highly ranked welterweight and world title challenger Micro “Mitrailleuse” Jones on Aug. 23, 2014.

Herrera is promoted by Hitz Boxing and co-managed by Cameron Dunkin and Mike Cericola.

Here are Herrera’s responses to a recent Q&Un:

What are your thoughts going into your ShoBox debut?
“Je suis toujours prêt à relever un défi, so I’m really excited about this opportunity. I’m definitely ready to compete against another undefeated fighter. I’m coming to show my skills to the world and prove I’m a boxer you have to pay attention to.

“At this point of my career, I want to make a move fast while I’m young. I don’t just want to be a guy with a nice record. I truly believe in my skills and that I can reach the highest level.

“I’ve been getting great help with sparring with the best of the best in Chicago. Sam Colonna, George Hernandez and all the Chicago boxing coaches have been great mentors to me and I am very thankful.”

What do you know about Shelestyuk?
“He was a great amateur fighter and he’s a lefty. That’s pretty much all I need to know. The only thing I can give him is that he has experience, so I’ve got to be careful of that. But it’s nothing new – I’ve seen fighters like that.”

What kind of fight do you expect?
“I expect him to be a boxer with movement. I think he’ll try to box me. I’ll be coming forward, being aggressive. Puis, we’ll see what his game plan is.”

What is the key to winning?
“It all depends on the pressure I can apply, throwing the right punches at the right time, the accuracy of my punches. Each punch has to have a purpose. I’m definitely more of a pressure guy. I like Gennady Golovkin’s style, Julio Cesar Chavez is my idol. That is the kind of style I try to fight with.”

On fighting on ShoBox for the first time?
“I’m definitely excited because I know a lot of people will be watching. Je ne suis pas du tout nerveux. The cameras, the bright lights, honnêtement, I don’t care about. My focus is totally on this fight. This is the type of fight that can open a lot of doors for me.”

Is this your biggest fight and do you feel pressure?
“Oui, certainement, vraiment, défénétivement, this is my biggest fight — just for all the doors a win would open for me, all the possibilities. Il n'y a pas de pression sur moi. He’s the one representing his country with the weight on his shoulders. I’ve lost before, but that doesn’t make me an opponent.”

Font-ils une erreur en te combattant??
“I feel like they are making a mistake, but I also feel this is going to be a good test for him. I think Taras took the fight more for himself. But if he doesn’t know now about me, he’s going to find out.”

You boxed amateurs for one year and had 25 bouts. Il était un 2012 Olympic Bronze Medalist with a boatload of amateur accomplishments. How significant is the experience of fighting amateur?
“Personnellement, à moi, the amateurs are not that important at all. It’s all irrelevant once you go pro. I know some great amateur boxers who made it after turning pro, and some who didn’t. It’s a whole different ballgame. As a pro, I believe I’ve fought better guys than he has. I’ve been tested way more than he has. You can’t take away what he did as an amateur, but fighting with the smaller gloves, with no headgear, is totally different.”

Undefeated cruiserweights Constantin Bejenaru (11-0, 4 KOs, 0-1-1 en World Series of Boxing), de Catskill, N. Y.. via la Moldavie, et Steve “Superman” Bujaj (16-0-1, 11 KOs), de New York, will collide in a 10-rounder for the vacant WBC International WBC Continental Americas titles in the co-feature.

The nephew of popular former two-time lightweight world champion Acelino “Crosse” Freitas, invaincu léger Vitor Jones Freitas (12-0, 1 Dakota du Nord, 6 KOs), de Salvador, Bahia, Brésil, sera opposé par le favori des fans locaux Manuel mendez (12-1-2, 8 KOs), Indio, Calif., in an eight-round bout in the opening match of the telecast.

Joshua vs. Molina and Whyte vs. Chisora land on huge December 10 montrer

AJ welcomes American to Manchester – Whyte and Chisora meet for Brit belt – Yafai in World title action – Quigg returns

 

Anthony Joshua MBE is set to defend his IBF World Heavyweight title against Eric Molina at the Manchester Arena on Décembre 10, live on Sky Sports Box Office in the UK and on Showtime in the U.S.

 

Joshua puts his crown on the line for the second time and fights his third American in a row having destroyed Charles Martin inside two rounds to rip the title from the St. Louis man in April at The O2 in London and then stopping Dominic Breazeale in the seventh round at the same venue in June, extending his unbeaten run in the paid ranks to 17 victoires, all inside the distance.

 

Molina becomes the latest man to attempt to derail the Olympic Gold medal hero, the Texan is looking to get his hands on the top prize in his second World title tilt after challenging Deontay Wilder for the WBC crown in June 2015. The 34-year-old enters the bout full of confidence after travelling to Poland and knocking out Tomasz Adamek in the tenth round of their clash for the IBF Inter-Continental strap in April.

 

“I am pleased that everything is now set for Décembre 10 and I can concentrate on getting the business done in the ring,”A dit Joshua. “There has been plenty of talk about who I may face but all I’m doing is concentrating on finishing Molina in style and putting on a great show.

 

“Every fight is dangerous in this division and this is no exception. I saw Molina have a great fight with Wilder and he is now coming off a strong KO win against Adamek in Poland.

 

“I’m expecting this to be the toughest fight of my career so far and I will be ready for an all-out war.”

 

“There is no Heavyweight in the world that has bounced back like I have,” said Molina. “That’s the man that Joshua faces on Décembre 10, and that man is a very dangerous one.

 

“He’ll fight the toughest Molina that anybody has ever seen, just like Adamek fought the toughest Molina.

 

“I’m confident. These type of fights don’t shake me up, I’m a very strong mental fighter. I know exactly what I’ve got to do to prepare myself in the amount of time. I know exactly what I’ve got to do, mentalement, physiquement, to go there and perform.

 

“When you walk out into the atmosphere, half the battle is the mental battle, and if you can stay in the moment mentally you have a shot in any fight.”

 

There’s a huge card in support of the main event as Dillian Whyte defends his British Heavyweight title against bitter London rival Dereck Chisora in an official eliminator for the WBC title. Whyte makes the second defence of his strap after seeing off fellow Brixton man Ian Lewison in Glasgow last month, while former World title challenger Chisora can get his hands on the Lord Lonsdale belt for the second time.

 

Scott Quigg returns to action after treatment on his broken jaw following his unification blockbuster with Carl Frampton, and the Bury star moves up to Featherweight as he looks to regain his status as a World champion.

 

Kal Yafai can become Birmingham’s first World champion but the unbeaten 27 year old faces a tough task to rip the WBA Super-Flyweight title against Luis Concepcion, the two-weight World champion that will enter the ring in his 11e World title outing.

 

Irish amateur sensation Katie Taylor boxes for the second time in the paid ranks after making her pro debut at The SSE Arena, Wembley on Novembre 26, Heavyweight wrecking ball ‘King Kong’ Luis Ortiz fights in Europe for the second time after clashing with Malik Scott in Monte-Carlo on Novembre 12 and Hosea Burton will defend his British Light-Heavyweight title against Frank Buglioni.

 

“The Heavyweight division has been turned on its head in the last few months and while many are standing still waiting, I’m delighted to get this huge card up and running in Manchester,"Eddie Hearn dit promoteur.

 

“I have spoken to Eric Molina at length and I know this is going to be a big test for Anthony. We saw in the Wilder fight that he can punch and doesn’t give in and is coming off a strong knockout win against Adamek in his back yard in Poland. We have requested an exception from the IBF for this fight and although the plans are for a major unification in the spring this fight requires Anthony’s full focus.

 

“The card is one of the strongest we have produced, supported by a huge all-British Heavyweight grudge match between Dillian Whyte and Dereck Chisora which will be an official eliminator for the WBC World title.

 

“We are delighted to see the return of Scott Quigg who will now campaign at Featherweight and Birmingham’s Kal Yafai has a chance to make history in a brutal fight against World champion Luis Concepcion.

 

“One of the most exciting Heavyweights in world boxing Luis Ortiz will feature and Ireland’s Katie Taylor will continue to break the mould in front of a sold out 21,000 foule. The re-scheduled Britsih Light-Heavyweight clash between Hosea Burton and Frank Buglioni is sure to produce fireworks and there will also be further names added in the following weeks.”

NEW YORK (Octobre. 31, 2016) – Promising unbeaten 2012 Jeux Olympiques médaillé de bronze Taras "Real Deal" Shelestyuk (14-0, 9 KOs) will make his main event debut when he faces upset-minded Jimmy Herrera in the 10-round featured attraction of a ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération tripleheader this Fridaet, Novembre. 4, survivre AFFICHER L'HEURE à 10:30 p.m. ET/PT (retardés sur la côte ouest) à partir de Produits Oméga International Event Center à Corona, Californie.

 

A 5-foot-10 up-and-coming rising star, Shelestyuk, de Los Angeles, est classé No. 9 par la WBO et n °. 13 dans la WBA. Shelestyuk, who is making his second ShoBox start, moyenne 85 punches a round en route to winning his ShoBox debut with a 10-round division over Aslanbek Kozak le nov. 6, 2015.

 

The dedicated, hard-working Shelestyuk, qui est formé par Eric Brun and spars a few days a week with former world champion Shane Mosley, at Wild Card West in Santa Monica, Calif., possesses solid skills, mouvement et de poinçonnage de puissance.

 

Shelestyuk was a member of a vaunted 2012 Ukrainian Olympic team that included featherweight gold medalist Vasyl Lomachenko and heavyweight gold medalist Oleksandr Usyk. The 30-year-old feels he’s still about a year away from competing against the best at 147 pounds and that he first must get by Herrera. But Mosley claims Shelestyuk reminds him of a bigger Lomachencko and believes he’s already ready for the top names in the welterweight division.

 

Herrera (15-3-1, 8 KOs), de Chicago, Illinois, has defeated unbeaten prospects in four of last nine fights and is 8-1-1 globalement depuis juillet 2012.

 

Shelestyuk, Brown et Mosley ont parlé à SHOWTIME après une récente séance d'entraînement. Voici ce qu'ils ont dit:

 

TARAS SHELESTYUK:

Que pensez-vous du combat?
"Je suis très excité. Cela fait six mois depuis mon dernier combat. C'est mon premier combat à la une et j'espère pas le dernier.

 

« J'ai beaucoup travaillé dans mon camp d'entraînement avec mon entraîneur Eric Brown, et avec mon préparateur physique. Mon adversaire est un combattant coriace. Il a eu de bons combats avec des gars comme Mike Jones, Egidijus Kavaliauskas et quelques autres grands. Il aime se battre et je pense que ce sera un bon combat et un bon match pour nos styles.

 

Vous êtes maintenant un combattant classé; êtes-vous satisfait du rythme de votre progression?

“I’m happy with my progression but of course I want to fight bigger names in championship fights and all of that. I know it’s coming soon. I enjoy my way of training and developing my skills, but if you see your dream you do anything to reach it and don’t let anything get in your way.’’

 

What do you think of the welterweight division?

“It’s a very good division because there are a lot of fighters, but some don’t want to fight each other (very often). There are some very good championship fights to be made and hopefully I will be one of them.”

 

Why did you chose to move to Southern California?

"Bien, [rires] mainly because if the great weather, but this is also a good area with a lot of good fighters and a lot of good trainers as well. When I first moved here my manager invited me out and showed me around and I got in the gym right away. I was training with Ruslan Provodnikov and got some sparring in with him before a fight that he had and next thing you know, two weeks later I had my pro debut and now three-and-a-half years later here I am.’’

 

Is there pressure on you when you fight?

“I wouldn’t say I feel pressure because everyone around me is supporting me, they believe in me and I believe in them. My team believes in me and I trust them. I just want to do what I do in the ring, mieux. I want to do better for me, for my family and for my friends.’’

 

Do you follow your Olympic teammates?

“I watch fights of the Ukrainian Olympic Team, and I enjoy when the other guys win. We support each other and we call each other. It is good for there to be more Ukraine fighters who are champions now. L'année prochaine, I hope to be one of them.”

 

How did it feel going 10 tours pour la première fois,?

“Last year in November I had my first 10-round fight on ShoBox, I fought with a strong guy and he gave me a very good fight. Je suis allé le 10 rounds and I felt like I could still go two more. I am ready for 10, pour 12, ce n'est pas important. I feel much better, much more powerful. I have more speed than I had in my last fight, aussi."

 

How did you end up training with Eric?

“I trained with Freddie Roach for about two and a half years when I met Eric at Wild Card West Gym. I started sparring with some of his guys there. After my fight with Rodriguez on ESPN in 2015 I asked Eric to train me and we started working. Now that I’ve fought two fights with him as my trainer, I feel my boxing skills are better, I feel more powerful and I enjoy training in his gym.

 

“All of the trainers help us and they give us advice. On the days I spar with Shane Mosley he stops and gives me some advice. I learn a lot from him, being the fighting legend that he is. I grew up watching him fight as a kid and respect what he’s able to teach me. Then the next time I try what he has taught me and it works.”

 

Boxing is in your blood; your dad and brother boxed. When you were younger, did you think you were going to become a fighter?

"Ne Pas, but my father pushed me in a lot of sports. I did gymnastics, soccer for five years, and played chess. I fought as a kid but it was always friendly. I always enjoyed the training aspect. To train for soccer sometimes my father and I would run barefoot in the snow and I enjoyed it. Si, comme un gamin, when I first stepped into the boxing gym, it was just so much fun.’’

Your ShoBox fight falls on your father’s birthday; do you have a special present in mind for him?

“It makes me want to get the victory for him. On his day, he will be sitting and watching my fight so I want to get that victory for him, for my family and for the Ukraine.’’

 

ERIC BROWN, Shelestyuk’s trainer

What kind of camp has Taras had has had and what do you see happening vendredi?

“I see a lot of progression in Taras. When we first started working together, one of the things was that Taras always had great boxing ability, but he wasn’t a great finisher. I don’t know if he was gun shy or what it was but he had a tendency of using his talent to get people in trouble but then he would stand back and let them get back in the fight. Si, what we’ve been working on a lot more is getting him to become a better finisher and recognize when he has his man in trouble and how to seize the moment, without being reckless at the same time. He’s improving at a fast pace.

 

“A lot of guys from Ukraine seem to have similar tendencies because they have long amateur careers and they start picking up bad habits that we need to correct. Taras had a little bit of that in him but he seems to be making the adjustments very well. He’s an extremely hard worker and you often have to tell him to slow down, you never have to tell him to do more.”

 

Where do you see him in his career as a welterweight?

“It’s a great division. I’d say that Keith Thurman tops it without a doubt now but there are good fighters like Shawn Porter too. If Mayweather decided to come back, I think he would be all over this division again. Canelo is a good super welterweight, but he’s too busy worrying about catch-weights. Undoubtedly in another year, I think Taras will be right there with the best of them. He’s got a lot of talent, great versatility, great hand speed and foot speed and he’s a good puncher. Not a devastating knockout puncher but a great puncher nonetheless with both hands.’’

 

SHANE MOSLEY, Ancien champion du monde

How has it been working with Taras and how did you become involved in his training?

“I have been sparring with Taras and he’s looking really sharp. I’ve been sparring with him for about four or five months now pretty consistently because a lot of guys won’t spar with him. Guys are worried that he will make them look bad; he’s so technical and sharp that they don’t want to spar with him. Si, I go in there with him a lot. It’s hard to get people to spar with him.’’

 

Where do you see him in the welterweight division?

“He’s on that championship path, that level, but I think once he gets there, he’ll get more sparring partners and will get even better. He really is a world champion, a world-class fighter. He reminds me of a bigger Lomachenko, sparring with him is just like that. I see him as a top welterweight champion. The way he throws his combinations, he’s a smart boxer who works out very hard. He’s at the gym every single day, whether he’s sparring or not, whether he has some training to do or not. He’ll even be here by himself just moving around and staying sharp. His work ethic is really, vraiment fort.

 

How do you like working with Taras?

“I like Taras and I enjoy working with him. He’s extremely dedicated and that’s hard to find. I like Taras’ work ethic, his personality, how he takes to boxing. He loves this sport and he wants to be the best. He doesn’t like to lose, even in sparring. I’m impressed with him. When I sparred with him for the first time I was very impressed at his swing, his power, his ring accuracy, his IQ of boxing. I was impressed with how hard he worked and his willingness to learn.’’

 

Do you find it unusual for guys to be as dedicated as Taras at this point in their careers?

“It’s unusual in the sense that a lot of fighters want to learn from the top guys but it seems to me with Taras that it’s not fake. He truly does want to learn about boxing so that he can be the best. He wants to become a world champion and is working to become one of the best. If you put Taras in the ring with any big name today and I’d say he would take the victory. He has a sound mind. He has the mentality to be at the top. He’s serious about being the world champion, about being the top fighter. He’s serious about winning and he’s going to take it all the way to the end. If you put this guy against Thurman, I’d go with him. I think he beats Thurman right now.’’

And in Charlo vs. Williams, our latest in a series of significant bouts at 154-pounds, we have a prime example of how great this sport can be. These are major fights between the top players in two of boxing’s deepest divisions.”
Une étoile rapide sortant de Buenos Aires, Argentine, Cuellar isworking toward his 12th consecutive victory when he gets in the ring to defend his 126-pound title against Mares. His power in both hands has helped him deliver seven knockouts in his last 10 victoires, including an eighth-round knockout of former world champion Vic Darchinyan en Juin 2015. The 29-year-old won his world title with a unanimous decision over Claudio Marrero dans son U.S. débuts en Août 2013.

Né à Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico and fighting out of Huntington Beach, Calif., Mères won his first title in 2011 when he beat Joseph Agbeko to capture the bantamweight crown. He continued to rise in the pound-for-pound list with victories over Anselmo Moreno et Daniel Ponce De Leon to win world titles at super bantamweight and featherweight.
