MINNEAPOLIS (เมษายน 10, 2018) – พรีเ​​มียร์แชมเปี้ยนมวย kicks off the 2018 season on FS1 and FOX Deportes on Friday, เมษายน 13 with five action-packed bouts on a three-hour televised show from the Armory in Minneapolis, featuring welterweight contender ออสการ์เจมส์ ต่อสู้ อาเบลรามอส in a 10-round main event in front of his hometown crowd.

 

 

 

ในกรณีที่ผู้ร่วมหลัก, rugged veteran Edner เชอร์รี่ clashes with rising lightweight เดนนิส Galarza in a 10-round bout and unbeaten super featherweights Austin Dulay และ คริสฌ็อง square off in an eight-round match.

Sensational 18-year-old, 154-pound prospect โจอี้สเปนเซอร์ (1-0, 1 KO), a former No. 1 ranked amateur and nine-time national champion, การต่อสู้ Ousmane Sylla (1-2, 1 คอส) in a four round match. The televised action starts at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

 

 

 

The event marks the return of boxing to the Minneapolis Armory, a historic venue that hosted nearly 100 cards between 1915 และ 1973, including a show headlined by all-time great Sugar Ray Robinson in 1942.

 

 

 

“This show is the perfect example of what Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes is all about – boxers at various stages of their career, each with something to prove in all action matches,” said Tim Smith, Vice President of Communications for Haymon Boxing. “The stakes are raised for Jamal James because he’s fighting in front of his hometown crowd and yo get in title the mix at 147 pounds and Abel Ramos wants to spoil all of that.

 

 

 

“Veteran Edner Cherry, who has tangled with Paulie Malignaggi and Timothy Bradley, and Dennis Galarza are both looking fighting to get into title contention. And it’s rare for unbeaten prospects like Austin Dulay and Chris Colbert to clash this soon in their careers. It all promises to be an exciting night of boxing on a night when the sports calendar isn’t crowded.”

 

 

 

เจมส์ (22-1, 10 คอส) is coming off the biggest victory of his career – a knockout over tough veteran Diego Chaves on Dec. 15. The 29-year-old James joined unified 147-pound champion Keith Thurman as the only boxer to have knocked out the durable Argentine. It was James second straight victory since suffering the only loss of his career – a unanimous decision defeat to Yordenis Ugas on Aug. 12, 2016. James hasn’t fought in his hometown of Minneapolis since he scored a unanimous decision over Mohammed Kayongo in 2013.

 

 

 

รามอส (18-2-2, 13 คอส) will complete his move to the welterweight division by taking on James after making his welterweight debut with a stoppage of Emmanuel Robles last July. The 26-year-old out of Arizona has won three of his last four fights and his only pro defeats have come at the hands of top 140-pound contenders Regis Prograis and Ivan Baranchyk.

 

 

 

เชอร์รี่ (36-7-2, 19 คอส) has defeated once-beaten contenders Haskell Rhodes and Omar Douglas since losing a split decision to Jose Pedraza in a 130-pound world title match in 2015. The 35-year-old Cherry of Wauchula, Florida has previously challenged Tim Bradley and Paulie Malignaggi during his career that included a 10-fight win streak after the Bradley bout.

 

 

 

Galarza (16-2, 9 คอส), an outstanding amateur boxer, is stepping up in competition with this matchup against the more experienced Cherry. The 25-year-old Galarza, who’s from Brooklyn but trains in Orlando, has won three straight fights since losing a split decision to Cesar Alan Valenzuela on Sept. 16, 2016.

 

 

 

Dulay (11-0, 8 คอส) was busy last year, fighting four times with only one fight going the distance. The 22-year-old southpaw from Nashville, Tennessee most recently scored a TKO victory over Carlos Padilla last August.

 

 

 

ฌ็อง (7-0, 2 คอส) has one of the most decorated amateur careers in New York City as he fights out of the renowned Atlas Cops and Kids Gym in Brooklyn. The 21-year-old is noted for his blazing hand and foot speed and he enters this fight coming off a unanimous decision victory over previously unbeaten Titus Williams last November.
