Tickets vanaf $25 are still available via RocketMortgageFieldHouse.com.

Dit is wat de deelnemers aan de persconferentie donderdag te zeggen hadden:

**JAKE PAUL**

“Toen ik begon met boksen, I didn’t think I’d be here this fast. My original goal was to fight Conor McGregor or Floyd Mayweather, because I knew I would have a big enough pay-per-view draw to do those things. Now I want to become world champion. I want to fight and beat Canelo Alvarez. This has been a fast, quick roller coaster ride, but I didn’t expect to be here. I just knew I loved fighting and I knew I was good at it.

“This is an exciting time. I’m bringing it home for Cleveland. We knew that when we teamed up with SHOWTIME, that this would be a huge event. This is turning into a historic moment.

“Tyron Woodley is ‘The Chosen One’, we chose him to get his ass beat. None of his accomplishments matter on Sunday night. I’m sending him into retirement and turning him into a meme. People are going to see all of my skills. People are going to be surprised. I haven’t shown anything yet. I might come out southpaw. Dit is mijn coming out party.

“It’s going to be another show on Sunday. I’m putting on another masterful performance and a boxing clinic. This guy is going to sleep and getting turned into another meme. Just like his friend Ben Askren. After Sunday, nobody is ever going to talk about Woodley ever again. He’s a speed bump on the road of my career.

“There’s no other fighter that’s 3-0 and taking fights against champions. I want challenges and I want to push myself. I was much more motivated in training camp because I know this is a dangerous opponent. I expect him to come out sharp and I expect this to be a fun one.

“I’m polarizing, I get it. I don’t care what people think. Most people aren’t like that. They’re scared to rub people the wrong way. Some people want to see me lose, but I’m here to stay.

“A fight against Tommy Fury makes sense. That’s a huge fight. It seems to be right in the palm of both of our hands. We do have to go out and perform on Sunday. I want to see how the U.S. crowd receives him. I want to see if he has that star power this whole entire week. He doesn’t have the big pay-per-view numbers that Tyron Woodley has, or even a Ben Askren. Those guys sold tons of pay-per-views. No one has seen a Tommy Fury fight.

“There’s no real respect between us. I’m going to show that winning a UFC championship doesn’t mean anything in the world of boxing.”

**TYRON WOODLEY**

“I’m almost falling asleep over here listening to this guy. It’s disgusting how much of a clown people have to be to be recognized. He’s got the appearance of being about that action down, but I’m really like that.

“This is the fight game. You can say what you want to say and you can do what you think fighters do. Jake does all the things to build the fight, but we’re really here now. He’s getting hurt on Sunday.

“All the people around him have lied to him. They don’t want to lose their bag. They’re not pushing him. You can come out with that dumb robot, het maakt niet uit. You’re getting knocked out.

“I’m just really ready to fight. I don’t have any shenanigans or B.S. I should bring him some wipes to clean himself up when I knock him out on Sunday.

“He hasn’t shown me anything yet. Real recognize real. I don’t worry about what anyone on the outside is saying. I’m worried about bringing that action.

“I’m going crazy on Sunday. Aan het einde van de dag, it’s been a long time coming. I’m thankful for my team that’s supported me but I’m also thankful for everyone who counted me out. When everyone comes against you, it shows how powerful what you’re about to do is.

“I think in general with combat sports, one person does something and people want to replicate it. This is a real fight though. If you look at the way we’re built, this is a real fight. Some people took this lightly and that’s why they came up short against him. We’ve been training since before this fight was even signed.

“All camps have highs and lows. You have to fight through adversity. With me mentally, it was a lot easier when we were having fun. It was passionate and you had people watching your every move and monitoring your every step. I’m just very grateful to all my coaches. Naar mij, this is just a lot of fun. I haven’t had fun in a long time, to be real. I loved this training camp. It was one of my most fun ever.”

**AMANDA SERRANO**

“I want to thank Jake for putting his faith in me and pushing to get me on this card. This is going to be two champions going at each other and leaving it all in the ring.

“These belts are my babies. It’s going to be very hard for her to beat me and take these back to Mexico. She’s going home empty-handed. I thank Mercado for taking the fight, but she’s not winning.

“I train and fight to be the best in the world. I hope that people can acknowledge that the women are champions as well and that we work as hard as the men. I’m showing everyone that women’s boxing is great too.”

**YAMILETH MERCADO**

“I’m coming up in weight, but I’m one of the biggest fighters at 122. I’m not worried at all about going up a division for this fight.

“I’m very well prepared and I feel strong. I’m confident that I’m going to win on Sunday and prove that I’m up to the challenge. We’re going to surprise a lot of people.”

**DANIEL DUBOIS**

“This is my U.S. debuut, so I want to look good and win in devastating fashion. I’m a seek and destroy fighter and that’s what I’m bringing again.

“This guy is right for me and I’m ready for the fight. It’s going to be a spectacular debut and I’m going to announce my presence with a lot of power and skill.”

**JUISEPPE ANGELO CUSUMANO**

“We are both big power punchers and we’re exciting fighters. We like to fight and bang on the inside. There’s going to be a lot of punches thrown for as long as this lasts . That’s what we’re going to come out and do.

“It’s the heavyweight division. It only takes one punch. That’s what people love about this division. I can’t wait to get in the ring on Sunday night.”

**Oy BARANCHYK**

“I’m excited to be here and fighting on this show. I learned a lot from my last fight. I put in a great training camp so that I can show my new weapons. I just need to take everything from my training camp and bring it into the ring.

“I think Jake Paul is very, very good for boxing. It’s good to have these famous guys join professional boxing because it helps the fighters. It’s good for promoting the sport. I don’t know what will happen in the fight on Sunday night. Jake Paul is young and he’s hungry. But Tyron Woodley is a tough guy. He’s a professional fighter and we will see.”

**MONTANA LOVE**

“A win is going to put the whole division on notice. They know I’m coming. I’ve worked with plenty of champions and been in plenty of camps. Nu, everybody watching is going to see what I’m going to do.

“This fight means everything for my career. I’m introducing myself to the 140-pound division with my fight on Sunday. Beating an ex-champion will definitely put me in a whole new category.

“My city is behind me 100%. They know how I’m coming. We’re training hard and we’re excited for this. All of Jake’s fans are going to be my fans after Sunday.”

“Gervonta Davis came up to my weight. He got a title. Congratulations on that. Nu, if he’s ready to keep it or not, that’s on him. But if he does keep it, we want the fight.”

**TOMMY FURY**

“I’m very happy to be in Cleveland and performing for everyone. Everyone is very familiar with Tyson, and they’re about to learn all about what I bring. I’m coming with my own package and my own game and you’re going to see that on Sunday night.

“If Taylor thinks I’ve overlooked him, he’s dead wrong. I’ve been grueling for eight weeks like I’m fighting for the world titles. Sunday night, I’ll get the job done, and then I can think about what could be next for me.

“Anthony Taylor can’t get off his phone and stop doing autographs. I haven’t been on my phone in five weeks. I’ve been living and training like a demon. I don’t care about fame, and I don’t care about money. All I want is to be a world champion.”

**ANTHONY TAYLOR**

“I know he’s overlooking me. Tommy is here just to face off with Jake Paul. But I’m here to fight. Don’t look down on me. Just because he beat up six bums, doesn’t mean he’s going to beat me up.

“He’s not going to stop me. He’s fought nobody. I’m not that guy you’re just going to run through. We’re not cut from the same cloth, and he’s not the same as his brother. He’s not ready for me.”

**CHARLES CONWELL**

“It’s amazing to fight back at home in my city. I’ve had a lot of local support back here throughout the years and there are a lot of people here who haven’t been able to see me fight.

“To have all the support I’ve gotten leading up to fight, I’m just more ready than ever to put on a show and let everyone know what I’m about.”

**JUAN CARLOS RUBIO**

“It’s true that I haven’t fought anyone on Charles’ level, but I feel strong, I’m well prepared and I’m ready to give a show to the people of Cleveland.

“We’re going to see if he’s ready for the next level of competition. We won’t know until we step in the ring. But I’m definitely going to give it my all and give him a test.”

**STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President, Sport- & event Programming, Showtime Networks Inc.**

“SHOWTIME has been in boxing a long time. We have a long history in the sport. But the thing about boxing is that it always has a way of surprising you. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, along comes someone like Jake Paul to upset the apple cart. I’m excited to see the sport innovate, change and evolve.

“I’m very proud of this card. We have some of the best fighters in the world on this card, from world champions to up-and-coming fighters and promising prospects. This card has a bit of everything.

“This card is filled with fighters who didn’t listen when they were told no. No one on this card has been handed anything. They’ve all beaten the odds. I’m proud to have every one of them on this card.

“The great thing about boxing, is that on some level, nothing matters until you get into the ring. To borrow a phrase, ‘boxing don’t lie’. Boxing is the ultimate truth-teller. When Sunday night rolls around, your resume and your following doesn’t matter. For all the hype and hoopla, make no mistake, these are fights. The purest form of competition. The great thing about boxing is, when two competitors enter that ring, each fighter gets a chance to rewrite their own history. It all comes down to that moment of truth on Sunday night.”

Boxing Superstar Claressa Shields has Street She Grew up on in Flint Honorarily Renamed After Her

Augustus 28, 2021 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

Salita Promotions congratulates fighting superstar Claressa Shields for having the street she grew up on in Flint, Michigan, honorarily dedicated in her name by City of Flint Mayor Sheldon Neely. Last Sunday, Shields, 26, was presented the accolade, which turned Spencer Street into Claressa Shields Street, at her Joy Tabernacle Church, where Shields was a guest speaker.

Mayor Neely says he’s overjoyed to be able to bestow the honor on the city’s fighting legend and says the next steps are to determine if it will be a ceremonial name change or an official name change. Ceremonial would mean adding Shield’s name to the existing name and official would mean the removal of the existing street name and replacing it with Shield’s name.

“Claressa continues to make us all proud while exemplifying what it means to be a true champion,” said Mayor Neely. “She has accomplished so much, remains connected to this community and we just want to honor her. This street dedication is well-deserved.”

Shields (11-0, 2 KO), a two-time Olympic gold medal winner, three-division professional boxing champion, the first fighter, man of vrouw, to unify championships in two divisions and the fastest boxer in history to win titles in three different weight divisions, says this award is especially touching for her.

“I could not be happier today y’all!” said Shields on Twitter. “I had a great time at church! So thankful to everyone who came out to worship with me today! I was surprised by the Mayor of Flint! The street I grew up on Spencer street is being named after me ‘Claressa Shields Street.’ My grandma would be so PROUD!!!! I delivered a great message today! I feel so special!!! I’m overjoyed.”

“This is a well-deserved honor for a woman and fighter who has done a lot to help and support her home city,” said Shields’ promoter, Dmitriy Word of Word-promoties. “She never stops working toward success in her career or as a public figure with an inspiring message. Salita Promotions is proud to represent her.”

Two-Time Gold Medalist and Professional Superstar Claressa Shields and Her Team Send Congratulations to USA Boxing’s Olympic Medal Winners

Augustus 15, 2021 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

Two-time Olympic champion Claressa Shields, van Flint, Michigan, is proud of Team USA’s Olympic boxing medalists and the whole USA Boxing squad, which featured five female participants for the first time. The only American boxer ever to win back-to-back Olympic gold medals, Shields stood atop the medal podium at the first-ever Olympic Games to feature women’s boxing in 2012, before duplicating the feat at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. The reigning middleweight Olympic champion was pleased with the United States’ performance at the Tokyo Olympics, which featured three silver medals and a bronze in the first appearance of a women’s welterweight competition.

“I’m super proud of the U.S. team. The Olympics is the hardest tournament to medal in and all of you showed a lot of grit, hard work, determination and skill,” Shields said.

Earning medals in Tokyo were female welterweight O’shae Jones from nearby Toledo, Ohio, who took home a bronze, as well as a pair of professional boxers in Duke Ragan (vedergewicht) and Keyshawn Davis (lichtgewicht), and California’s Richard Torrez Jr, (super heavyweight) who each won silver medals. The four medals represent the highest total for Team USA since Ricardo Juarez, Ricardo Williams, Clarence Vinson and Jermain Taylor grabbed hardware (two silver and two bronze) bij de 2000 Olympische Spelen.

De 2020 Olympic Games featured the addition of two women’s weight divisions, bantamgewicht (119 lbs) en weltergewicht (152 lbs), which shows the continued growth of the sport of women’s boxing throughout the world.

Shields, who in addition to her two Olympic gold medals has won ten world titles in three weight divisions and become undisputed champion in two weight classes in just eleven fights as a professional and recently launched a two-sport career with her professional MMA debut for the PFL, says that having Jones as another American female professional boxer sporting an Olympic medal would be good for the sport. Jones has previously expressed a desire to enter the pro ranks.

“An injection of new top-level talent is always positive,”Zei Shields (11-0-0, 2 KO), who aside from making her successful MMA fighting debut in June, made history last March by dethroning Canada’s Marie-Eve Dicaire and becoming the first boxer in the four-belt era to be an undisputed champion in two divisions. She also retained her WBC and WBO junior middleweight titles with the victory and claimed Dicaire’s IBF belt, as well as the vacant WBA Championship. “The idea of a new generation of ladies turning pro and deepening the talent pool with Olympic-level skills will be good for the sport of women’s boxing.”

Shields went 77-1 as an amateur and turned professional after her second Olympic victory in 2016. Her 2017 battle with Szilvia “Sunset” Szabados was the first female main event to be broadcast on American premium television. In addition to currently being the WBC, WBO, IBF and WBA champion at 154 pond, Shields had previously unified all four of the major sanctioning body belts at middleweight (160 lbs.).

Shields has had a dominating, record-breaking run thus far in her professional career, tearing through other women once considered the best in their divisions with relative ease. She and Great Britain’s Katie Taylor, also undefeated as a pro, have lifted women’s boxing to new heights in recent years, leading an increasingly deeper talent pool that will only get deeper with the addition of the 2020 Olympians from around the world.

Shields 'manager, Mark Taffet of Mark Taffet Media, agrees that the impending influx of new talent to women’s boxing will benefit the sport as a whole.

“I’m excited for the four Americans who brought home Olympic medals this year, particularly welterweight bronze medal winner Oshae Jones who I believe will be one to watch in the next few years,” said Taffet. “The female boxing talent pool, and importantly the U.S. pool, continues to improve and bodes well for the future of women’s boxing and the continued gains toward equality across the board.”

Shields’ promoter, Dmitriy Word of Word-promoties, says he’s excited for the future and proud of USA Boxing, who produced four medal winners while undergoing a deadly pandemic that severely hampered the ability to train properly

“As a former amateur and professional boxer, I know the sacrifices required to fight on the elite level and I congratulate Team USA for all of its successes this year, even through all the added challenges that Covid-19 created,”Zei Salita.

Juli 7, 2021 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

Londen – Monday 5th July 2021

On September 4th Towl will officially become the United Kingdom’s youngest person to compete for professional boxing Championship honours, and should she be successful in her quest she will be in prime position to equal or even better the modern era’s current youngest World Champion **Devin Haney’s** incredible championship achievements.

Haney won the World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World Championship, with a TKO victory over Mexico’s **Maximino Toala** in maart 2017, toen hij was 18 jaar oud, and then at the age of just 20 jaar, 11 months and six days went on to become the youngest person in modern times to win the full World title.

Co-Headlining the event, titled ‘Battles At The Beach’, is Towl’s equally talented Boyle’s XBox Gym mate 19 jaar oud **Eleanor Coulson**, who faces a yet to be announced opponent for the Women’s International Boxing Association (WIBA) Middleweight Youth World Championship.

Coulson was the reigning National Amateur Champion when she made her professional debut in September last year and, like Towl, is unbeaten in the professional ranks and is also on track to be eligible to compete for full World Championship honours before her twentieth birthday.

The stacked support card is headed by a further Championship battle, when Professional Boxing Council (PBC) International Super Flyweight Champion **Nicola Hopewell** goes toe to toe with Spain based **Vanessa Taborda** for the World Boxing League (WBL) European Super Flyweight Crown.

Ongeslagen **Lewis Mulberry** is set to face Nicaragua’s **Christian Narvaez** in a four round contest, as a warm up ahead of his highly anticipated PBC British Title fight against Denny’s **Kevin Traynor** later in the year.

Former Amateur standouts **Angelica Finch** en **Kirsty Biswas** are set for their second pro outings, against Czech Republic’s **Nicola Hubalkova** and Serbia’s **Marijana Dosovic** respectievelijk.

Rochester’s **Jay Jackson** has a tough fight on his hands when he faces Nicaragua’s **Jose Aguilar** in a four round Super Featherweight contest. Also facing tough South American opposition is Nottingham’s **Martin Reffell**, who is pitted against **Frederick Castro**.

Colchester’s **Calvin Carruthers** makes his fourth pro outing against Nottingham’s **Garfield Mushore** in a four round Super Featherweight contest.

Ashford, Kent’s **Jack Way** makes his pro debut against fellow debutant **Tyler Smith** in een vier ronde Light Heavyweight wedstrijd, similarly pro debutants **Connor Brazil** en **Callan Harley** will face each other in a four round Welterweight contest.

**Alvis Berzins** makes his pro debut against Southend’s **Dan Ballard** in a four round Cruiserweight contest, also competing in the Cruiserweight division is **Richard Herrick**, tegen een nog niet bekend tegenstander.

Towl versus Obisanya, for the WIBA Featherweight Youth World Championship and Coulson versus TBA for the WIBA Middleweight Youth World Championship co-headline the Sportanarium Events and Assassin Promotions & Management co-promoted **BATTLES AT THE BEACH**, ***in association with Visit Brighton, Scope Eyecare, KC Sofas, Hilton Brighton Metropole, Sportanarium Radio, Race Nation and Go Sports & Vermaak,*** that takes place at the Brighton Hilton Metropole on Saturday 4th September 2021.

Marie-Eve Dicaire heeft een onschatbare les geleerd van het gevecht van Claressa Shields

April 3, 2021 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

MONTREAL (Maart 31, 2021) - Populaire Canadese bokserMarie-Eve Dicaire leerde een onschatbare maar teleurstellende les in haar beslissingsverlies tot nu onbetwiste wereldkampioen super weltergewichtClaressa Shields (11-0, 2 KO) op de maart 3^rd "SUPERWOMEN" pay-per-view-evenement.

Dicaire (17-1) leed haar eerste verlies als professional en in het boksen leidt dat vaak in de ene of de andere richting: leren van de algemene ervaring en verbeteren als bokser of doorgaan met vechten als een voormalig wereldkampioen die op zoek is naar kansen.

Twee weken na het gevecht van de Shields, Marie-Eve was weer in opleiding, in plaats van zich te wentelen in haar eerste verlies en medelijden met zichzelf te hebben.

"Duidelijk,'Zei Dicaire, "Ik heb veel geleerd. Ik ging meteen terug naar de sportschool met een nauwkeurig plan om mijn boksen naar een ander niveau te tillen. Ik heb veel dingen gerealiseerd, sommige goed en sommige slecht, maar het zal zeker helpen om een completere vechter te worden.

'Na twee weken vrij, Ik had meer dan genoeg. Ook, het afgelopen jaar hebben we geëxperimenteerd met een nieuwe manier van werken. Ik ga een paar weken naar de sportschool voor intensieve training, neem dan een paar dagen rust. Deze methode heeft me naar een ander niveau gebracht, dus besloten we om op deze manier te werken voor mijn aanstaande kamp, omdat ik me geweldig voelde in de ring. Ik ben een uitblinker. Ik kan niet rusten als ik weet dat ik verloren ben. Ik moest het werk gedaan krijgen om van echte vakanties te genieten. Ik weet dat ik binnenkort weer in de ring zal zijn. "

Verliezen leiden uiteindelijk tot veranderingen, maar het doel van Dicaire om onbetwiste wereldkampioen te worden, blijft hetzelfde. Wat verandert er?, hoewel, is haar stijl, althans tot op zekere hoogte, vooral gezien het feit dat ze nul knock-outs heeft tijdens haar professionele carrière.

“Ik ben klaar geboren, dus hoe eerder, beter,”Dicaire sprak over het winnen van een nieuwe wereldtitel. “Ik wil een verenigd worden, onbetwiste wereldkampioen en daarom ben ik alweer aan het werk. We werken aan het verbeteren van enkele van mijn zwakke punten die voorheen geen prioriteit hadden. Tijdens dit trainingskamp zal ik werken aan het verbeteren van mijn kracht en aan het innerlijk vechten. "

Dicaire ontdekte ook dat haar ondersteuningssysteem is gegroeid, opmerkelijk, zelfs na de aanvankelijke tegenslag op haar verder ongeslagen record.

'Ik dacht dat ik het verlies alleen zou afhandelen met mijn familie en goede vrienden,'Concludeerde Dicaire, "Maar het is precies het tegenovergestelde geweest. Ik heb in mijn hele carrière nog nooit zoveel steun van fans meegemaakt. Het is alsof iedereen weet dat ik alles heb wat nodig is om weer wereldkampioen te worden en dat ze bij me zijn tijdens deze nieuwe reis. "
