纽约 (六月 1, 2017) - 今天, SHOWTIME体育® announced a blockbuster matchup between two of boxing’s biggest stars as three-division world champion Mikey Garcia moves up in weight to 140 pounds to face four-division champion Adrien “The Problem” Broner in the main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®, 星期六, 七月 29, 住在Showtime. 阿德里恩·布罗纳VS. Mikey Garcia is presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
In yet another significant main event matchup on SHOWTIME, these world-class fighters will meet at a critical time in their respective careers. A three-division world champion at the age of 23, and one of the youngest four-division world champions in boxing history, the flamboyant Broner remains one of the most accomplished and popular athletes – and perhaps the most polarizing – in the sport today. Among the top 140-pounders in the world, Broner is undefeated at or below 140 pounds with his only two losses coming against welterweight world champions Marcos Maidana and Shawn Porter. An experienced fighter at just 27 岁, Broner (33-2, 24 科斯) still believes he is the future of the sport and promises to prove it against Garcia on July 29.
米奇·加西亚, 29 years old and undefeated (36-0, 30 科斯), is a recently crowned lightweight champion on a self-appointed journey to become a household name in the sport of boxing. Garcia will move up in weight for the second time in just three fights to challenge Broner. Garcia represents a boxing family developing legendary status in the modern era of the sport. He is renowned for his sportsmanship and his commanding presence in the ring, honed by his brother and acclaimed trainer Robert Garcia. Mikey has held world titles at 126, 130 和 135 英镑, but has never fought north of 138.
星期六, 七月 29 将 19日 live boxing event on SHOWTIME this year. The main event bout will be a WBC 12-round special attraction.

Broner, 辛辛那提, 俄亥俄, has achieved more in his young career than most fighters can hope for in a lifetime. After earning world titles at 130, 135 和 147 英镑, Broner won a belt in a fourth weight division – 140 pounds – in October 2015 when he defeated Khabib Allakhverdiev via 12日 round stoppage to become the second youngest four-division champion in boxing history at 26 (behind Oscar De La Hoya, 24). 作为一个业余爱好者, Broner compiled a record of 300 胜, 19 losses under the guidance of his trainer Mike Stafford, who has remained in Broner’s corner throughout his entire career. Broner will turn 28 years old on 七月 28, the day before his bout with Garcia.
Once considered one of the top young pound-for-pound boxers in the world, 米奇·加西亚, of Moreno Valley by way of Oxnard, 加利福尼亚州。, returned to the ring after a two-and-half-year layoff in July 2016 without missing a beat. He scored a dominant fifth-round stoppage over former world champion Elio Rojas in his first fight back. 然后, Garcia became a three-division champion by beating previously undefeated lightweight world champion Dejan Zlaticanin with a vicious third-round knockout last January. Garcia has stopped 19 他最后的 21 opponents including Roman “Rocky” Martinez, 胡安·曼努埃尔·洛佩斯, Orlando Salido and Bernabe Concepcion.
