Providence (Lub Xya hli ntuj 21, 2015) – Ua tsov ua rog ntawm lus mus ntxiv ntawm cov neeg sawv cev ntawm undefeated ntiaj teb Boxing Organization (WBO) junior Middleweight championDemetrius “Boo boo” Andrade (21-0, 14 Kos) thiab yav tas los ob-lub sij hawm super middleweight titlist Anthony “Cov txiv neej” Mundine (47-7, 27 Kos).
Team Andrade muab ib tug xovxwm tso tawm tas hnub Saturday tsaus ntuj txog ib daim ntawv cog nws raug iab liam tias Team Mundine tau reneged nyob rau hauv kev sib ntaus ntawm ob aforementioned neeg tua hluav taws lub hlis tom ntej nyob rau hauv teb chaws Australia. Team Mundine muab ib daim ntawv nag hmo, nyob rau hauv uas nws thov nws tsis tau pom zoo rau ib tug deal, lom zem ntau vim hais tias nws muaj ib tug peb-kev sib ntaus kev xaiv nyob rau hauv Mundine.
Hnub no, Team Andrade countered nrog ib daim ntawv qhia ntawm nws tus kheej hais no dubious teeb meem. “Cia ua no zoo kawg nkaus tseeb,” Andrade lub saib xyuas Thiab Farris hais tias. “Mundine sab yog dabtsi yog khoov qhov tseeb thiab zais qhov tseeb nyob rau hauv ib qho kev sim rov qab tawm ntawm txoj kev sib ntaus. Their recent press release about our side asking for three options on Anthony Mundine isn’t true. I just discussed this with Demetrius’ promoters (Joe DeGuardia, Star Boxing & Artie Pelullo, Banner Promotions) and there was never a three-fight option on Mundine in the proposed contract. There was simply a rematch option clause, uas rau kuv to taub, guaranteed Anthony Mundine ib tug ntau heev npaum li cas nyiaj uas muaj Tsawg Kawg. Tag nrho cov kev thov kom cog lus muab Mundine tus neeg 100-feem pua ntawm cov Australian TV lag luam, uas yog ib tug lossis loj lub sij hawm rau ntxiv nyiaj tshaj li nws lub hnab tawv pojniam. Cov pob no yog nyob rau hauv lawv cov tsev hais plaub thiab nws tau rau ib lub lim tiam tam sim no. Lawv tsis tau xa tuaj rau peb ib tug counter-kev thiab hais tias, hmoov tsis, qhia rau kuv hais tias nws lub yeej tsuas tsis xav sib ntaus tshwm sim.”
Farris ntxiv ntxiv, “Raws li deb raws li nqe lus los ntawm Mundine tus neeg saib xyuas (Ben Thompson) uas Anthony tau muaj 'uas tsis muaj nyiaj’ sib ntaus sib tua Demetrius, Anthony Mundine lub hnab yog them los ntawm Nws pab txhawb, TSIS peb promoters. We have absolutely nothing to do with that. I can tell you this, tab sis yog, Anthony Mundine tau muaj nyiaj ntau dua Demetrius Andrade rau no sib ntaus. Mundine yuav muaj ib lub sij hawm sib ntaus rau lub ntiaj teb no title nyob rau hauv nws tiaj nraum qaum tsev rau tshuam nyiaj ntau dua lub ntiaj teb no yeej tau txais. Yuav ua li cas ntau npaum li cas yog nws xav kom peb muab?”
Andrade tseem cia siab hais tias Mundine yuav txais cov kev sib tw thiab kos npe rau ib daim ntawv cog mus tua nws sai li sai tau. “Kuv xav hais tias pawg kiv cua yuav nyiam mus saib lawv ob-lub sij hawm ntiaj teb tau zus sib ntaus sib tua tam sim no ntiaj teb tau zus nyob rau hauv nws lub tsev lub teb chaws,” Andrade commented. “Kuv xav tau no kev sib ntaus tshwm sim. I don’t care about a rematch clause. Qhov tseeb yog, yog tias Mundine neeg ntaus kuv, nws tsim nyog mus tua leej twg nws xav kom. Kuv twb hais rau kuv promoters tau tshem ntawm cov rematch kev xaiv thiab ua tau qhov no sib ntaus tshwm sim.
“Kuv twb ua ib co yuam kev nyob rau hauv lub dhau los – Vajtswv paub txhua leej txhua tus puas – but I’m doing everything I can to get back in the ring and give fans what they want. They’ve been great to me and they deserve to see fights they really want. Hopefully, lawv mam li mus ntev tau yuav txaus siab rau ib tug menyuam zoo sib ntaus ntawm kuv thiab Mundine.”
