ЭДМОНТОН, Канада (Сентябрь 26, 2017) – Всемирный боксерский совет (WBC) Чемпион мира в тяжелом весе Mairis Олень (22-0, 18 КО) risks his world title and undefeated record against Cuban-born challenger Майк “The Rebel” Перес (22-2-1, 14 КО) в эту субботу when the highly-competitive Всемирный боксерский Super Series (WBSS) tournament continues with more quarterfinals action, начиная с 5 p.m. И / 2 p.m. PT, to air live in Canada exclusively on Super Channel from Riga Arena in Riga, Латвия.
The “Briedis vs. Перес” card will give Canadian boxing fans another opportunity to watch world-class prize-fighters competing in the $50-million WBSS tournament, live from Latvia, исключительно на супер канал, which acquired the rights in Canada to broadcast the World Boxing Super Series from MP & Сильва, ведущая компания международных средств массовой информации, которая обеспечивает права медиа, цифровой, технологии и спонсорские услуги.
The 32-year-old Briedis, who captured the WBC cruiserweight world title in his most recent fight, taking a 12-round unanimous decision from former world champion Марко “Capt’n” Гек (40-3-1) last April in Germany. A former European kickboxing champion, Briedis will have a distinct advantage fighting Perez at home in Riga, Латвия.
“I’m real happy being able to start the World Boxing Super Series at home in front of my own crowd,” Briedis said. “We fight to win the Muhammad Ali Trophy, but I am also putting my world title at stake. This is a big thing. For Latvia, this will be the first major world championship bout in history, so I hope to see a sold-out arena.
“From my previous experience with the Latvian crowd, I can really tell Mike Perez that boxing in front of a Riga crowd will not be easy for him. The boxing community around the world will learn how passionate and loud Latvia fans can be! My preparation camp has been going very well so far and I can assure my fans that I’ll be at my best when the 30й of September arrives.
“This is the first fight of the tournament, the first defense of my WBC World cruiserweight title, and I’m really happy that I will be able to do it in front of my home crowd. There are no easy fights in this tournament. Mike Perez has already made his name in the heavyweight division and seems to be in the shape of his life coming down to cruiserweight.”
Based in Cork, Ирландия, where he defected to from Cuba, Perez will be fighting as a cruiserweight for only the second time having campaigned for most of his 9 ½-year pro career as a heavyweight. The 31-year-old southpaw doesn’t fear fighting Briedis in his backyard and he remains confident.
“It’s an opportunity of a lifetime,” Perez remarked. “Fighting in Latvia isn’t an issue for me. I don’t care where I fight. I’ll fight anywhere. Я чувствую себя хорошо, Я уверен, and I’m looking forward to Riga. I have a chance to become world champion in my very first fight in the tournament, so I couldn’t have asked for better.
Breidis is a good champion but I can’t wait to bring the belt home. I’m so lucky to fight for the Muhammad Ali Trophy and also become the undisputed cruiserweight champion in this tournament. I have no doubt that I will do just that. I have worked hard for these last couple of years and really dedicated myself to get this chance and nobody is going to take it rom me. I have lots of experience as both an amateur and professional, a lot of ability and now at cruiserweight I’m much faster on my feet and can throw faster combinations, so I feel like I’m a much better fighter. I really believe I can win the Muhammad Ali Trophy. That is how I see it. I think I will win. I cannot see anyone else winning it. I am the best cruiserweight in the competition.”
The “Briedis vs. Перес” winner will advance to the semifinals to face the WBSS No. 1 seed, undefeated World Boxing Organization (WBO) в тяжелом весе Александр “Кот” Усик (13-0, 11 КО), who stopped Huck in the 10й round of their WBSS quarterfinals fights this past Sept. 9 in Berlin.
