Филаделфија (Јуни 8, 2015)–Ова Сабота, Јуни 13 one of the hottest names in boxing will be back in action as undefeated Jr. Среднотешка, Џулијан “J-Рок” Вилијамс (19-0-1, 11 КО е) ќе ги преземе за Армен Овеспјан (14-4, 11 КО е) in a 10-round bout for the WBC Continental America’s Jr. Средна титула.
The bout will take place in Birmingham, Alabama and be part of the Deontay Wilder – Eric Molina WBC Heavyweight title card that will be televised on Showtime Championship Boxing.
Вилијамс – Ovespyan will be shown live on Showtime Extreme.
“I wanted a bigger fight but if the other top guys are not available,” Вилијамс.
“I can’t just sit around and be inactive. I’m still improving. I still have to work on my craft. I still have to make money. So sitting around is not an option for me. At one time people had high hopes for Ovespyan. He’s not a bum and I’m definitely not overlooking him,” се вели во 25 годишниот. “At one point during camp I thought I was fighting Frank Galarza in Brooklyn so I was locked in. Then I thought it would be Jan Zaveck. Who is an ex world champion and took Keith Thurman the 12 round distance so I was still super focused. I’ve been told I will get a big fight in September maybe even a title shot, so there is no way I will have a let down against Ovespyan because if I don’t win I won’t get what I have been asking for. I haven’t lost a round in 2 years since the Joachim Alcine fight and I want to continue to build on that and perfect my craft.”
