BILLY JOE SAUNDERS V WILLIE MONROE JR, 16 SEPTEMBRE À LONDRES

LE CHAMPIONNAT DU MONDE DES POIDS MOYENS WBO
POUR DIFFUSION IMMÉDIATE

LONDRES (Juillet 17, 2017)–WBO Middleweight Champion du Monde Billy Joe Saunders fera la deuxième défense de sa couronne contre New York Willie Jr Monroe. sur Samedi, 16 septembre à la Copper Box Arena de Londres, en direct sur BT Sport et BoxNation.

Hatfield’s Saunders (24-0, 12 KOs) a vaincu le héros irlandais Andy Lee pour prendre le bracelet WBO dans un combat serré et absorbant en décembre 2015 qui a vu la star invaincue sol l'ancien champion deux fois au troisième tour et a réclamé une décision à la majorité des juges.

Une série de blessures a conduit à un 2016 pour Saunders, mais il a finalement défendu sa ceinture en décembre dernier contre Artur Akavov à Glasgow. Saunders n'était pas à son meilleur, mais a souligné le jeu russe. Il devait affronter Avtandil Khurtsidze avant l’arrestation du Géorgien en juin.

Monroe Jr (21-2, 6 KOs) a une deuxième chance de remporter un titre mondial après une défaite d'arrêt au sixième tour contre IBF, Champion du monde des poids moyens WBA et WBC Gennady “GGG” Golovkin de retour 2015. Depuis lors, le joueur de 30 ans a remporté deux décisions sur John Thompson et Gabriel Rosado et occupe le cinquième rang mondial avec la WBO..

“Je suis heureux de cette opportunité de titre mondial,” a dit Monroe Jr. “Je suis toujours au gymnase et je suis prêt à y aller maintenant; Je vis la vie. J'ai hâte de me présenter et de me montrer à Londres. Saunders est un bon combattant et un digne champion du monde, mais je viens pour cette ceinture.”

“J'ai donné un bon compte de moi-même contre Golovkin, mais j'avoue que j'ai été pris dans l'instant. Billy Joe a eu beaucoup de luxe tout au long de sa carrière que je n’ai pas eu. Tous ses combats ont été ici dans sa propre cour, il n’a pas eu à entrer dans la fosse aux lions pour faire ses preuves. Il m'appelle mentalement faible mais on verra sur 16 septembre.”

“Willie est un bon combattant et un bon boxeur,” dit Saunders. “C'est sa grande chance et il ne vient pas ici juste pour inventer les chiffres. Il a été avec certains des meilleurs combattants du monde, y compris Golovkin où il a échoué.”

“Je pense que ça va être un combat très serré mais j'ai déjà l'avantage mental sur lui. Il a dit qu’il en avait fini contre Golovkin et que ce n’était pas ce qu’un guerrier ferait. Je préfère être assommé à froid plutôt que d'arrêter. Je n’ai pas encore eu la chance de montrer mes véritables compétences et mon talent en tant que pro. Je ne peux pas me permettre de l'oublier et je serai dans la meilleure forme de ma vie sur 16 septembre. Je suis 100% va obtenir la victoire.”

Artie Pelullo de Banner Promotions a déclaré: “Je suis très content pour Willie; Ceci est une grande opportunité. Beaucoup de choses ont dû se mettre en place pour que Willie obtienne ce combat. Saunders est un grand combattant, et cela devrait être un événement formidable. Je tiens à remercier la WBO ainsi que Frank Warren et Billy Joe Saunders pour cette opportunité.”

Saunders’ le promoteur Frank Warren a déclaré: “Bill devra être au sommet de son art pour remporter la victoire 16 septembre. Le gagnant de ce combat aura la pièce manquante sur le puzzle des poids moyens, Canelo et Golovkin veulent tous deux cette ceinture WBO.”

“Si Bill réussit ce combat, nous poussons fort pour le vainqueur de Canelo vs. Golovkine. Si Golovkin gagne, j'espère que nous pourrons faire ce combat en décembre, si Canelo gagne, ce pourrait être la nouvelle année. Bill doit aller là-bas et prouver un point, il y a beaucoup de choses en jeu.”

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 aschickenshit.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 “Le 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 fighta disgrace.

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.

“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 ce samedi against Groves. Chudinov is ranked No. 1 by the WBA while Groves is ranked No. 2.

LONDRES (Avril 29, 2017) – Anthony Joshua was crowed the king of the heavyweight division Samedi live on SHOWTIME as he unified the division with an 11e 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 avec 19 KO, 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 11e 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,”A dit Joshua. “I got a bit emotional because I know I have doubters. Je vais seulement m'améliorer. 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.”

 

Après le combat, 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, bébé,”A dit Joshua. “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 judgesDon Trella and Nelson Vazquez – had Joshua up 96-93 et 95-93, respectivement.

 

“The best man won ce soir and it’s an amazing moment for boxing. Anthony was better today than I. It’s really sad that I didn’t make it ce soir. 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.”
