Gervonta ديفيس مقابل. Jesus Cuellar is another great matchup, with two power-punchers facing off for the 130-pound world title.”

 

 

 

 

 

BRONER (33-3, 24 كوس) is one of the most gifted boxers in the sport, having won world titles in four different weight classes by the age of 28. The Cincinnati, Ohio native has won championships at 130, 135, 140 و 147 pounds while facing top competition across the various divisions. في معركته الأخيرة, Broner lost a unanimous decision to Mikey Garcia on يوليو 29 at Barclays Center after previously defeating Adrian Granados earlier last year.

 

 

 

 

 

“I’m feeling really good and I’m excited that this is an even bigger fight than Figueroa,” said Broner. “I had to switch up some sparring partners but everything is going great in camp. We’re fighting at 144 جنيه, so he’ll have a slight weight advantage, but it won’t matter. I’m going to be in great shape for this fight. Coach Kevin Cunningham is my head coach for this camp, but I did not fire Mike Stafford. I just added to my camp, because I needed the help. I know what I have to do at the end of the day to get back on top where I belong.”

 

 

 

 

 

فارغاس (28-2, 10 كوس), a 28-year-old former welterweight champion who was born in Los Angeles and now lives in Las Vegas, is always up for a challenge. His only two losses have come in welterweight title matches against pound-for-pound greats. He lost a controversial fight to Timothy Bradley, الابن. and dropped a unanimous decision Manny Pacquiao in a world title defense. Vargas won the welterweight title with a TKO victory over Sadam Ali in 2016 prior to the Pacquiao fight. Vargas is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Aaron Herrera in December as he works toward another world title opportunity.

 

 

 

 

 

“This is a fight that should garner a lot of attention from boxing fans and they deserve a fight like this,قال فارغاس. “We are two entertaining fighters who come in and give it their all. This is a fight that will have a lot of fireworks. I respect Broner and his skills, but he’s very beatable. The fight was presented to me and I didn’t think twice about taking it.. We as fighters and entertainers have to give the fans what they want. We had a fantastic fight في.يوم السبت in Brooklyn and we’ll have another one in April. I will have my hand raised and let everyone know I’m still a danger to anyone I face.”

 

 

 

 

 

تشارلو (26-0, 20 كوس) فاز في سوبر لقب وزن الوسط بالضربة القاضية المهيمن كورنيليوس بوندريج في 2015 وحقق في نهاية المطاف تمييز عقد بلقب بطولة العالم في نفس فئة الوزن (154 جنيه) كما شقيقه التوأم بعد Jermell فاز باللقب في 2016. بعد الدفاع عن لقبه بنجاح 154 جنيه ثلاث مرات, Charlo of Houston, تكساس, made the move to 160 pounds with the goal of becoming a d-division world champion. In his debut at 160-pounds, the 27-year-old scored a TKO victory over Jorge Sebastian Heiland at Barclays Center on يوليو 29. Charlo vs. Centeno was originally scheduled for March 3 before being rescheduled due to a rib injury suffered by Centeno.

 

 

 

 

 

“I really love fighting in Brooklyn and at Barclays Center,سعيد شارلو. “The fans in Brooklyn always show me a lot of love. منذ تقريري الأخير المعركة لقد أتيحت لي الفرصة للعمل على بلدي الصبر والعمل على تحسين لعبي. Before the injury to Centeno, I was having the best camp of my life. أنا عندي نفس الشعور الذي كان لي قبل فزت بأول لقب عالمي. أريد أن أكون بطلا في 160 أكثر مما فعلت أول مرة في 154. سنتينو هو مقاتل صعبة. He’ll be a hard test but he’s someone who isn’t at my level. أنا لا أخذ أي شيء بعيدا عنه. But he’s just another fighter that’s in my way.”

 

 

 

 

 

وسنتينو البالغ من العمر 26 عاما (26-1, 14 كوس) اشتعلت انتباه الجميع عندما سجل خروج المغلوب مذهلة من Immanuwel العليم في مشاركة معركته على أغسطس. 25. كان يكفي أن منطلقا سينتينو في المتوسط ​​لقب خلاف. سنتينو من أوكسنارد, كاليفورنيا., successfully rebounded from a tough TKO loss to Maiej Sulecki on June 18, 2016 بفوزه على رونالد مونتيس قبل مباراته ضد العليم. Centeno expects to be 100 percent healed and ready for the challenge by fight night.

 

 

 

 

 

“انا متحمس لهذه الفرصة,” said Centeno. “I was really devastated when we had to reschedule the fight, but I know I have to be 100 percent for this challenge. I think my last outing had a lot to do with me getting this fight. It helped to put me in this position. تشارلو هو مقاتل كبير مع الكثير من المواهب. أشعر أن لدينا القامات مماثلة. انها ستكون معركة مثيرة للاهتمام. اعتقد انها سوف ينزل من هو مقاتل ذكاء تلك الليلة، والذي ترك أكثر في الخزان في نهاية. هذا هو الحياة المتغيرة, مهنة تغيير المعركة بالنسبة لي التي يمكن أن تؤدي إلى أشياء أكبر وأفضل. أنا قادم لتحقيق الفوز.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

ديفيس (19-0, 18 كوس) is a proof that dynamite can come in a 130-pound package. اللاعب البالغ من العمر 23 عاما, من بالتيمور, fought three times last year and ended all of his fights by stoppage. He won the 130-pound world title with a TKO victory over Jose Pedraza in a star-making performance at Barclays Center on Jan. 14, 2017. He traveled to London for his first title defense and stopped Liam Walsh by TKO on his home turf to retain the title on مايو 21, and most recently scored a knockout victory over Francisco Fonseca on أغسطس. 26 on the Mayweather vs. McGregor PPV undercard. Davis look to recapture a title in the 130-pound division after failing to make weight prior to the Fonseca fight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“I’m the most exciting and skilled fighter on television and in 2018 I plan to show it,"وقال ديفيس. "في أبريل 21 I’ll be back in the ring, يعيشون على شوتايم. Jesus Cuellar is arguably my toughest opponent to date. He is rough and tough, but I’m looking forward to the challenge. I’m more than happy to be fighting at Barclays Center where I won my first world title. Brooklyn is very close to Baltimore, so all of my people will be there to witness me become a world champion again.”

 

 

 

 

 

كويلار (28-2, 21 كوس) is seeking to win a world title in a second weight class when he takes on Davis. A native of Buenos Aires, الأرجنتين, the 31-year-old Cuellar won a featherweight world title with a TKO victory against Vic Darchinyan on June 6, 2015. بعد ستة شهور he made a successful defense by winning a unanimous decision against Jonathan Oquendo before losing the belt to Abner Mares by split decision on December 10, 2016.

 

 

 

 

 

“The time I’ve had off since the Mares fight has refreshed me for this new opportunity,"قال كويلار. “It took a lot out of my body to make 126 pounds for all of those years. Now I feel fresher and hungrier than ever before. I’ve been offered fights against lesser opponents in the last year but I’ve preferred to wait a little longer so that I can get a chance to fight the best. Gervonta Davis is one of the best in the world, so he’s the one I want to face and beat. Davis has never faced a fighter like me and he will see me at my very best on أبريل 21."
