“We’re very excited to bring the heavyweight champion of the world, デオンテイ·ワイルダー, back to Brooklyn for his seventh title defense and third appearance at Barclays Center, BROOKLYNボクシングの自宅™,” ルーDiBellaは言った, ベラエンターテイメントの社長. “This fight is happening because Deontay wanted to silence his critics by taking on the biggest challenge available. Deontay has an axe to grind with Ortiz and will swing it on March 3. Former 154-lb. champion Jermall Charlo is already a top player at middleweight and plans to prove he’s carried his power with him by facing one of the division’s best prospects, ウーゴ・センテノ・ジュニア, who is coming off a huge knockout victory in his last fight.”
“Deontay Wilder and Luis Ortiz is one of the best fights that can be made in the heavyweight division and its’ what heavyweights are all about – power versus power,” トム・ブラウンは言いました, TGBプロモーションの社長. “Everybody loves the knockout and that’s what Wilder and Ortiz specialize in. 共同のメインイベントでは、, Jermall Charlo is strictly seek and destroy in the ring. That ferocious spirit made him a force at 154 and he has brought it with him to the 160 pound ranks. Centeno is a rugged competitor and he doesn’t back down from anyone. That makes this a can’t miss fight for the boxing fans.”
True heavyweights in every sense of the word, the 6-foot-7, 228-pound Wilder and the 6-foot-4, 240-pound Ortiz have 62 combined knockout victories.
The 32-year-old Wilder (39-0, 38 戦績), the only reigning American heavyweight world champion, is a knockout artist with the power to end any fight in spectacular fashion. His only professional match that went the distance was the fight in which he won his world title with a dominant 12-round unanimous decision over Bermane Stiverne on Jan. 17, 2015 -the birthday of legendary heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali. The champion out of Tuscaloosa, Alabama added Stiverne to his list of knockout victims in his last fight with a devastating first round destruction in their rematch at Barclays Center on 11月. 4.
Wilder was originally supposed to fight Ortiz that night, but Ortiz was pulled from the match after he tested positive for a banned substance. Ortiz was later cleared after the WBC determined he had failed to list medication that he was taking on his pre-testing paperwork, which triggered the positive test. He was assessed a fine and allowed to resume boxing.
ワイルダー, a Bronze Medal winner for the U.S. Olympic boxing team at the 2008 北京大会, has successfully defended the title six times. This will be his third title defense at Barclays Center. In his first defense at Barclays Center, Wilder scored a memorable ninth-round knockout over Artur Szpilka back in Jan. 2016.
“I’m looking forward to returning to Barclays Center to defend my title for a seventh time,” ワイルダーは言った. “Luis Ortiz is one of the toughest guys around and he’s supposed to be the boogeyman in the heavyweight division. But I’ve never been afraid of the boogeyman and I’ve knocked out every opponent that I’ve faced. I plan on keeping that streak going. Everyone standing in my way of becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion has to go down. It’s Luis Ortiz’s turn.”
38歳のオルティス (28-0, 24 戦績), カマグエイの, Cuba by way of Miami, フロリダ州。, will make his Barclays Center debut when he meets Wilder for his first title shot. 痛烈なサウスポーは、キューバから亡命して以来、着実にヘビー級はしごを登るされた後、7年前にプロに転向しました. 彼はベテラン候補ブライアント・ジェニングスの勝利と分裂の彼の地位を固め, Tony Thompson and Malik Scott and is the No. 1-ranked contender by the WBC. 彼の最も最近の戦いで, Ortiz scored a devastating second-round knockout of Daniel Martz in Miami, フロリダ州に 12月. 15.
If Ortiz wins, he will become the first Cuban born fighter to win a heavyweight world championship.
“This really is the best versus the best as far as the heavyweight division, and everyone who knows boxing knows that,” オルティスは言いました. “There’s been too much talking already. 戦う時が来た. All I ask now is that the winner of this fight receives the respect from the other man, from the public, from the media and the fans that they deserve as the best heavyweight in the U.S.”
Charloの (26-0, 20 戦績) コーネリアス・バンドラジを圧倒的なKO勝ちでスーパーウェルター級タイトルを獲得した。 2015 そして最終的には同じ階級で世界タイトルを保持するという功績を達成した (154 ポンド) ジャーメルがタイトルを獲得した後、双子の兄弟として 2016. 154ポンドのタイトルを3度防衛に成功した後, Charlo of Richmond, Texas decided to move up to 160 pounds to win another title in a different weight class. In his debut at 160-pounds the 27-year-old scored a TKO victory over Jorge Sebastian Heiland at Barclays Center on 7月 29.
“I really love fighting in Brooklyn and at Barclays Center,” Charloのは言った. “The fans in Brooklyn always show me a lot of love. 前回の戦い以来、忍耐力を養い、ゲームの改善に取り組む機会があった. 初めて世界タイトルを獲得する前と同じ気持ちを感じています. でチャンピオンになりたいです 160 初めてやった時よりも 154. More than anything I just want to get back in the ring. センテノはタフなファイターだ. He’ll be a hard test for someone who isn’t at my level. 私は彼から離れて何も取っていませんよ. But he’s just another fighter that’s in my way. I don’t feel like I have anything to prove to anyone else in this fight. I’m all about proving things to myself now. In the 160-pound division you’re hearing my name more and more. It’s more than you did when I was at 154 ポンド。”
26歳のセンテノ (26-1, 14 戦績) での最後の試合でインマヌウェル・アリームから見事なノックアウトを決めたとき、皆の注目を集めた。 8月. 25. センテノをミドル級タイトル争いに足を踏み入れるには十分だった. オックスナードのセンテノ, California successfully rebounded from a tough TKO loss to Maiej Sulecki on June 18, 2016 アリーム戦の前にロナルド・モンテスに勝利.
“この機会に興奮しています,” センテノは言った。. “I think my last outing had a lot to do with this/ It helped to put me in this position. チャーロは多くの才能を持った素晴らしいファイターです. 身長も似てるような気がする. 面白い戦いになるだろう. 結局のところ、その夜誰がより賢い戦闘機なのか、そしてどちらが終盤に向けて戦車に多く残っているのかということになると思う. これは人生を変えるものです, 私にとってキャリアを変える戦いは、より大きくより良いものにつながる可能性があります. 私は勝つために来ています。”
