BILLY JOE SAUNDERS V WILLIE MONROE JR, 16. SEPTEMBER I LONDON

Efterlad en kommentar

WBO MIDDELVÆGT MESTERSKAB I VERDEN
PRESSEMEDDELELSE

LONDON (Juli 17, 2017)–WBO mellemvægt verdensmester Billy Joe Saunders vil gøre det andet forsvar af sin krone mod New Yorks Willie Monroe Jr. på Lørdag, 16. september i Londons Copper Box Arena, live på BT Sport og BoxNation.

Hatfield's Saunders (24-0, 12 KOS) besejrede den irske helt Andy Lee for at tage WBO-remmen i en tæt og absorberende kamp tilbage i december 2015 der så det ubesejrede stjernegulv den tidligere Champion to gange i tredje runde og fortsatte med at kræve en flertalsafgørelse fra dommerne.

En række skader førte til en frustrerende 2016 til Saunders, men til sidst forsvarede han sit bælte i december sidste år mod Artur Akavov i Glasgow. Saunders var ikke på sit bedste, men outpointede spillet russisk. Han skulle overtage Avtandil Khurtsidze inden georgiernes anholdelse i juni.

Monroe Jr (21-2, 6 KOS) har en anden chance for at vinde en verdensmesterskab efter et sjette rundestop mod IBF, WBA og WBC mellemvægt verdensmester Gennady “GGG” Golovkin tilbage 2015. Siden da har 30-åringen vundet to beslutninger over John Thompson og Gabriel Rosado og besidder verdensrangliste nummer fem med WBO.

“Jeg er glad for denne mulighed for verdenstitel,” sagde Monroe Jr.. “Jeg er altid i gymnastiksalen, og jeg er klar til at gå nu; Jeg lever livet. Jeg kan ikke vente med at dukke op og vise mig i London. Saunders er en god fighter og en værdig verdensmester, men jeg kommer efter det bælte.”

“Jeg gav mig en god redegørelse mod Golovkin, men jeg vil indrømme, at jeg blev fanget i øjeblikket. Billy Joe har haft en masse luksus gennem sin karriere, som jeg ikke har haft. Alle hans kampe har været her i hans egen baghave, han har ikke været nødt til at gå ind i løvehulen for at bevise sig selv. Han kalder mig mentalt svag, men vi ser videre 16. september.”

“Willie er en god fighter og en god bokser,” sagde Saunders. “Dette er hans store chance, og han kommer ikke herover bare for at gøre op på tallene. He has been in with some of the best fighters in the World including Golovkin where he came up short.”

“I think it is going to be a very close fight but I already have the mental edge over him. He said he was done against Golovkin and that’s not what a warrior would do. I’d rather get knocked out cold than quit. I haven’t had the chance to show my true skill and talent as of yet as a pro. I can’t afford to overlook him and I’ll be in the best shape of my life on 16. september. Jeg er 100% going to get the win.”

Artie Pelullo of Banner Promotions said: “I am very happy for Willie; this is a great opportunity. A lot of things had to fall into place for Willie to get this fight. Saunders is a great fighter, and this should be a terrific event. Jeg vil gerne takke WBO såvel som Frank Warren og Billy Joe Saunders for denne mulighed.”

Saunders’ sagde promotor Frank Warren: “Bill bliver nødt til at være øverst i sit spil for at vinde gevinsten 16. september. Vinderen af ​​denne kamp vil have det manglende stykke på mellemvægt, Canelo og Golovkin vil begge have det WBO-bælte.”

“Hvis Bill kommer igennem denne kamp, ​​skubber vi hårdt for vinderen af ​​Canelo vs.. Golovkin. Hvis Golovkin vinder, håber jeg, at vi kan gøre den kamp i december, hvis Canelo vinder, kan det være om det nye år. Bill er nødt til at gå derude og bevise et punkt, der er meget på linjen.”

Ilford Light-Heavyweight knockout-konge Anthony Yarde og teenage-Heavyweight-sensationen Daniel Dubois kommer på et actionfyldt underkort. Yarde hentede WBO's europæiske rem med en KO-sejr i første runde over Richard Baranyi sidste gang på Copper Box Arena, mens 19 årige Dubois hævdede WBC World Youth Heavyweight belt i kun sin fjerde konkurrence.

Fuld detaljer om underkort vil blive annonceret inden længe.

Billetter til Saunders v Monroe Jr koster £ 40, £ 50, £ 70, £ 100, £ 150, £ 200 og £ 300 (VIP / gæstfrihed) er tilgængelige fra:

Psychic Tom Predicts Win For Mark Hunt; Rabble Rousin’ Rich Opens the Show with Demetrious Johnson vs. Dana White Rant; Tony the Tornado rips Stevenson/Fonfara on this week’s FNU Combat Sports Show

Efterlad en kommentar

Rich Bergeron opens this week’s FNU Combat Sports show by giving his unique take on the Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson feud with the UFC brass, namely Dana White. Upon refusing to take a fight with T.J. Dillashaw without getting certain assurances and conditions met, many fans on social media insisted DJ was running scared. Even Dillashaw took the opportunity to blast the move by the flyweight champ as “chickenshit.” Dana White even reportedly threatened to shut down the entire flyweight division if Johnson refused to fight TJ. “Mighty Mouse” didn’t blink and didn’t cave to the organization’s demands, and Rich explains in his opening dialogue why DJ should be respected and given the benefit of the doubt for his decision rather than being criticized and dragged through the mud for standing up for himself.

 

During the rest of the broadcast, Tony “Tornado” Penecale details his night out at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia for a fight card headlined by Hank Lundy. He also recaps Fonfara vs. Stevenson II and calls the fight “a disgrace.”

 

“Psychic” Tom Padgett chips in with some post-fight analysis of Aldo vs. Holloway. He also predicts Mark Hunt will benefit from home cage advantage in his battle with Derrick Lewis this weekend at UFC Fight Night 110 i New Zealand.

 

There’s also an update on Hunt’s lawsuit against the UFC and Brock Lesnar and lots of other fight previews and recaps. Listen to the whole broadcast to catch up on what’s new in combat sports this week.

BURNETT: I WANT TO EMULATE FRAMPTON IN BELFAST

Unbeaten talent can become Northern Ireland’s latest World champion på lørdag
SAN DIEGO (Juni 8, 2017) – Ryan Burnett says he can follow in Carl Frampton’s footsteps and become a huge star in Belfast as he challenges Lee Haskins for the IBF World Bantamweight title at the SSE Arena Belfast on Lørdag, LIVE på AWE- Et væld af underholdning på 3 PM ET / 12 PM Noon PT.

Burnett tackles his first World title fights in his first fight on home-turf in nearly three years, while the Bristolian puts his crown on the line for the third time.
If Burnett can rip the IBF crown from Haskins, he’ll become the latest World champion from Belfast, following in the footsteps of Carl Frampton. ‘The Jackal’ also made the red belt his first World title in the Titanic Quarter back in September 2014, and Burnett hopes that Lørdag is the first step on emulating the former two-weight World champion.
“People keep saying that I am the second coming of Carl Frampton – that’s a big statement,” said Burnett. “I do believe that I can emulate his success and be a big hit in Belfast. I’ve drawn a lot of inspiration from Carl and seeing a Belfast lad become a World champion.
“He’s taken the steps that I am taking now and seeing the level that he’s got to and what he’s achieved – and what he can still achieve – is massive. He’s done so much for boxing in Belfast, and I want to have the same impact.”
Burnett’s clash with Haskins is part of a huge night of action in Belfast where Paul Hyland Jr faces Adam Dingsdale for his first pro title with the IBF European Lightweight strap on the line.
James Tennyson tackles Ryan Doyle for the WBA International Super-Featherweight belt, Ian Tims and Luke Watkins meet for the Irish Cruiserweight title, there’s the Cruiserweight debut of Mike Perez, and local favorites Paddy Gallagher, Matthew Wilton, Feargal McCrory and Tyrone McCullagh.

HASKINS SAILING INTO STORMY WATERS IN BELFAST

IBF champ heading to Belfast on the ferry today
SAN DIEGO (Juni 7, 2017) –Lee Haskins gets over his first major hurdle in defending his IBF Bantamweight title against Ryan Burnett in Belfast on Lørdag – by taking the ferry today due to his fear of flying.
Haskins puts his crown on the line for the third time at the SSE Arena Belfast, lever videre AWE–A A Wealth of Entertainment på 3 PM ET / 12 PM Noon PT and the Bristolian knows he’s in for a hostile reception as he tries to hand Burnett his first pro defeat in front of the passionate Belfast fans.
‘Playboy’ says that the hometown support won’t be a problem as it’s nothing he hasn’t experienced before – but knows the fight will be far from plain sailing against the unbeaten hometown star.
“I’m not the greatest on planes so we chose to get the ferry over,” said Haskins. “My family and I decided to go a bit earlier and make more of a trip about it.
“It’s not too far so it gives me and the kids a bit of time to catch-up and it’s something different, rather than just jumping off a plane straight into the hotel. Now we get to have a little detour and have a little adventure.
“It’s going to be a hostile crowd but truthfully it doesn’t bother me. I’ve boxed away time and time again so I know what’s coming. I’ve boxed in Monaco, Belgium and Morocco and in plenty of backyards in the UK. It doesn’t bother me, a ring is a ring.
“I hope the Belfast fans don’t give me too much of a hard time! I’m really looking forward to fighting in front of such a knowledgeable crowd and of course to my own fans, I’m always grateful for your continued backing.
“I am very excited – I’m more excited for this one than I have been for a long, lang tid. I’m happy and content going into this fight and I’m looking forward to visiting Belfast.”
Haskins’ clash with Burnett is part of a huge day of action in Belfast where Paul Hyland Jr faces Adam Dingsdale for his first pro title with the IBF European Lightweight strap on the line.

Former three-time title challenger Groves and former champ Chudinov (14-1, 10 KOS) will meet for the vacant WBA Super Middleweight World Championship in a matchup of the WBA’s No. 1 og nr. 2 challengers in a co-featured bout at Bramall Lane.

Groves (25-3, 18 KOS) has won four straight since teaming up with 2016 Trainer of the Year Shane McGuigan following a close split-decision loss to then-WBC Champion Badou Jack in 2015. The only other blemishes on his record came in title challenges to long-time 168-pound champ Carl Froch.

“I believe this is the best opportunity for me to achieve my dream and become world champion,” Groves said earlier this week. “Time is on my side. I had a good year last year, and I’m in a good place. I’ve put in the work, og nu, I need to make this count.

“Everything that’s happened in the past has just made me more determined. I know the pressure is on, and I can’t afford to make any more mistakes. This might be my best chance to win a world title, but it could also be my last.”

Chudinov (14-1, 10 KOS) originally won the WBA Super Middleweight Title with a split-decision victory over Felix Sturm in 2015 and made one successful defense before losing via controversial majority decision in a rematch with Sturm in 2016. Sturm later vacated the belt due to injury, opening up the opportunity for Chudinov to win back his title denne lørdag against Groves. Chudinov is ranked No. 1 by the WBA while Groves is ranked No. 2.

Joshua Overcomes First Professional Knockdown To Score 11th Round TKO In Front Of Record Crowd At London’s Wembley Stadium

LONDON (April 29, 2017) – Anthony Joshua was crowed the king of the heavyweight division Lørdag live on SHOWTIME as he unified the division with an 11th round TKO of long-reigning champion Wladimir Klitschko before a record 90,000 fans at London’s Wembley Stadium.

 

Joshua, who remains a perfect 19-0 med 19 knockouts, overcame the first knockdown of his career to successfully defend his IBF belt and pick up the vacant WBA title.

 

Joshua knocked Klitschko down once in the fifth and twice in the 11th before referee David Fields stepped in to protect the defenseless former champion at 2:25 of the penultimate round.

 

“I’m not perfect but I’m trying,” Joshua said. “I got a bit emotional because I know I have doubters. I’m only going to improve. Sometimes you can be a phenomenal boxer, but boxing is about character. When you go into the trenches that’s when you find out who you really are.

 

“I came out and I won – that’s how far I had to dig. I came back and I fought my heart out.”

 

“As boxing states you leave your ego at the door and you respect your opponent. A massive shout out to Wladimir Klitschko for taking the fight. I don’t want to say too much because I don’t know if he wants to come back and fight me. He’s a role model in and out of the ring.”

 

Efter kampen, Joshua called out former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, who dethroned Klitschko in 2015 but was subsequently forced to vacate his belts due to a number of issues outside the ring.

 

“Tyson Fury where you at, Baby,” Joshua said. “Come on – that’s what they want to see. I just want to fight everyone. I’m really enjoying this right now.”

 

Klitschko floored Joshua in the sixth and was up on Steve Weisfeld’s scorecard at the time of the stoppage 95-93. The other two judges – Don Trella and Nelson Vazquez – had Joshua up 96-93 og 95-93, henholdsvis.

 

“The best man won i aften and it’s an amazing moment for boxing. Anthony was better today than I. It’s really sad that I didn’t make it i aften. I was planning to do it. It didn’t work, but all the respect to Anthony.

 

“Of course we have a rematch in the contract. I need to analyze and see what the heck happened. I wish I could have raised my hands, but congrats to him. He got up, he fought back and he won the titles.”
