Haney (24-0, 15 Kos) is back in action for the first time since November 2019 LA-da kəmərinin ilk müdafiəsində Alfredo Santyaqonu yola salarkən sağ çiynini zədələdikdən sonra. 21 yaşlı sensasiya zədəsi üzərində uğurlu əməliyyat keçirdi və indi 135 funt-sterlinq çəkiyə hakim olmaq axtarışını davam etdirməyə hazırdır.. böyük adlarla dolu səhnə.
Onun hit siyahısında birinci yerdə Qamboadır (30-3, 18 Kos), keçmiş birləşmiş Dünya Lələk Çəkisi kralı və Kuba qəhrəmanı, Olimpiya qızıl medalından sonra. Qamboa üçüncü cəhddə Terens Krouford və Gervonta Davisə titulları üçün meydan oxuyaraq iki çəkidə Dünya hökmdarı olmağı hədəfləyir., lakin Haney öz səltənətini üslubda yenidən alovlandıracağına əmindir.
“Yuriokis Qamboa təhlükəli və təcrübəli döyüşçüdür," dedi Haney. “O, keçmiş vahid dünya çempionudur, və o, ən yaxşılardan bəziləri ilə rinqdə olmuşdur. O, böyük zərbə ilə Terens Kroufordu zədələyib, ona görə də onun gücünə göz yummaq olmaz. O, Vasiliy Lomaçenkonu məğlub edən Orlando Salidoya qalib gəlib. Bir ildən az əvvəl o, Gervonta Davisi 12-ci tura çıxardı, heç kimin edə bilmədiyi bir şey. Qamboa əsl döyüşçüdür və mən onu yüngül hesab etmirəm. Bütün məşhur adları qeyd etdim, və nəhayət, titulum üçün mənə meydan oxuyacaq birini tapdım. Mən bu mübarizədə açıqlama vermək niyyətindəyəm. Aclığım başqa səviyyədədir. Dünyaya boksda ən yaxşı döyüşçünün kim olduğunu göstərməyin vaxtı gəldi və o da mənəm!"
“Bu döyüşün baş tutmasına icazə verdiyi və Axillesimi sağaltmaq möcüzəsi üçün Allaha son dərəcə minnətdaram,Qamboa dedi. “I’ve been dreaming and wishing of fighting for the WBC Green Belt ever since I was an amateur in Cuba. I’m ready and determined to win this title for my fans and to prove those who wrote me off as a washed up fighter wrong. I came up short against Davis because of my Achilles in the second round, but I fought the rest of the fight on one foot, hurting him in the middle rounds. You are going to see a healthy Gamboa fight with both of my legs, fists and warrior heart of mine. With God’s blessings I will come out victorious Nov. 7."
Jacobs and Rosado have built up a rivalry over the last year and now that comes to a head three weeks after Haney vs. Gamboa.
Jacobs (36-3, 30 Kos) Julio Sezar Chavez Jr üzərində qələbə ilə iki çəkidə Dünya çempionu olmaq hədəfində ilk addımlarını atdı.. Feniksdə, Arizona dekabr ayında.

Pinkish (25-12-1, 14 Kos) Feniksdə anderkartda göründü və çəki ölçmədən əvvəl Jacobs ilə toqquşdu. Philly ace, mart ayında öz meydanında Maciej Sulecki ilə keçirdiyi həyəcanlı döyüşdən sonra qalibiyyət yollarına qayıtmaq üçün həmin gecə on raund xal qazandı. 2019, və 34 yaşlı Jacobs-un axtardığı Dünya çempionluğu uğrunda mübarizə aparmaq üçün özünü yandıracaq..
“Gabe talked his way into this fight and now it’s time to see if he can back it up,” said Jacobs. “He’s got a big mouth and he’s been bringing up my name constantly for over a year – but on Nov. 27 the talking stops and I can’t wait to shut him up. My aim is to become a two-weight division World champion in 2021 and that starts with a big win in Florida. Bundan sonra, I’m ready to step up and fight one of the World champions at 168 manat. "
“I’m really excited for the fight,” said Rosado. “There’s been a lot of back and forth between me and Jacobs, and for the fight to finally happen, I’m more than ready. I’ve started training camp with Freddie Roach in LA at Wild Card Boxing, and I’m just looking to put on one hell of a show for the fans. I’m definitely going to bring the fight to Danny and it’s going to be great.”
Both events have stacked undercards in support of the main event. There’s a Heavyweight flavor to the Haney card with Croatian talent Filip Hrgovic (11-0, 9 Kos) facing American Rydell Booker (26-3, 13 Kos) and Chinese star Zhilei Zhang (21-0, 18 Kos) meeting another American in Devin Vargas (22-6, 9 Kos). Three young stars continue their pro journeys on the bill as Reshat Mati (7-0, 5 Kos), Raymond Ford (6-0, 2 Kos) and Arthur Biyarslanov (6-0, 5 Kos) are in action on the show – and Matchroom are delighted to announce the signing of French star Souleymane Cissokho (11-0 7 Kos) to a multi-fight deal and he’ll box on the bill, and more details on the deal for the Anthony Joshua managed Super-Welterweight will come on Monday.
Marc Castro will make his pro debut on the undercard of Jacobs vs. Pinkish. The Fresno talent was slated to make his bow in the paid ranks in Tulsa, Oklahoma in August, but he tested positive for COVID-19. Now the amateur sensation finally laces them up and is joined on the undercard by fellow amateur rulers in Olympic gold medalist Daniyar Yeleussinov (9-0, 5 Kos), three-time World amateur champion Magomedrasul Majidov (2-0, 2 Kos), and young talents Nikita Ababiy (9-0, 6 Kos) and Alexis Espino (6-0, 4 Kos).
“I can’t wait for our U.S. return in Florida – two stacked cards with plenty riding on them,"Promoter Eddie Hearn bildirib. “The Lightweight division is on fire and there’s no better time for Devin to return to action and make a big statement at the Hard Rock. Although Devin may well be the next big thing, when you look at his CV, Yuriorkis is by far his toughest test to date. A few weeks later, the bad blood between Daniel and Gabe will come to a head as they clash, and the winner of that fight will find themselves in a great position for a World title shot at 168 lbs. in 2021.”
“There’s so many interesting plotlines on both undercards. The Heavyweights are in the spotlight on Nov. 7, with Filip and Zhilei, two World-class fighters that are looking to stake their claims for massive fights next year, as will Magomedrasul who fights on Nov. 27."
“Marc was devastated that his debut was postponed but the Fresno sensation has re-focused and it’s not a bad thing to have to learn to cope with a setback like that – he’s been working so hard in training, and I think we’re going to see a spectacular debut.”
“We’re lining up a big test for Daniyar, and so many of the young stars on the cards are beginning to get to the stages in their career where they move to the next level so I am expecting two exciting nights of action in the Sunshine State.”
Hard Rock Live and Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood in Florida have a rich history of hosting world-class boxing in addition to globally recognized entertainment acts like Jerry Seinfeld, Alicia Keys and Aerosmith. The venue is excited to play host to two huge nights of action in November.
