كورونا, كاليفورنيا. (نوفمبر. 2, 2016) — Undefeated ultra-confident cruiserweight ستيف “السيوبرمان” بوجاج (16-0-1, 11 كوس), of Westchester, N.Y., chimes in before his important 10-round bout with fellow unbeaten Constantin Bejenaru (11-0, 3 كوس, 0-1-1 in the World Series of Boxing), من بروكلين, N.Y., in the middle match of a ShoBox: The New Generation tripleheader this الجمعة, نوفمبر. 4, from the Omega Products Event Center in Corona, كاليفورنيا.
بوجاج (واضح “Boo-ha”), 26, has won four in a row, بما في ذلك بلده الماضيين بالضربة القاضية, since boxing a split 10-round draw in a slugfest with then-undefeated three-time Chicago Golden Gloves champion Junior Wright (10-0) في شهر مايو 2014. بطل نيويورك القفازات الذهبية مرتين, Bujah, who’ll be fighting on ShoBox the first time, is coming off a first-round TKO over previously undefeated Sergio Ramirez (11-0) في يونيو 11
Bejenaru (واضح “bay-zhin-nah-ROO”) is making his second ShoBox start. In his debut last أبريل 15, the native of Ungheni, Moldova, scored a unanimous eight-round decision over previously unbeaten Alexey Zubov (10-0), بطل روسي سابق للهواة وبطل أوروبي للهواة سبع مرات. Southpaw Bejenaru boxed on the Romanian national team for 10 سنوات وكان بطلا وطنيا تسع مرات.
Here is What Bujaj said:
What do you know about Bejenaru and what are your thoughts going in?
“I know he’s undefeated, 11-0 and a lefty, but I don’t believe he’s on my level. I think I’m a different class fighter and will be able to show it يوم الجمعة.”
What kind of fight do you expect?
“I don’t really have any expectations. When I get in there, I make my adjustments, and then I start breaking him down.”
What is the key to winning? ما هي المزايا الخاصة بك?
“My best advantage is my experience. I’ve fought 10 جولات قبل. This is his first time. I believe that I’m more skilled than he is, and I believe that I have more heart and just think I have the edge all around.”
On fighting on ShoBox the first time?
“I’m very excited and grateful for the opportunity that has been given me. I’m ready to go out and perform and show the world what I’m all about — and that is being one of the top guys in the cruiserweight division.”
Your opinion on the cruiserweight division?
“The cruiserweight division is a good division with a lot of good fighters. I feel like it will get more exposure in the future because there are so many talented fighters and good fights that can happen. I’m looking forward to being a part some of the big fights and making some noise.”
What would a win on ShoBox mean to you?
“A win on SHOWTIME would be really huge, but mostly it would keep me going.”
Are they making a mistake fighting you?
“I don’t think he made a mistake, but I refuse to lose this fight. I’m gonna give it my all. He’s not on my level and I’m gonna prove it. I’m gonna fight my ass off.”
On his slugfest with former world title challenger Wright?
“I was winning the fight but I broke my jaw in the fourth round. I had a bad mouthpiece, a cheap one. I never knew mouthpieces needed to be fitted. The surgeon told me if I’d had a pro mouthpiece, I wouldn’t have had a problem.
“I still believe anybody else would have quit in that fight. I was in a lot of pain, I couldn’t close my mouth because the jaw was broke, I was spitting out blood. But I hung in there despite the jaw.
“I had him out on his feet in the last half-minute or so but the referee stopped the fight to give him time to tape up one of the laces on his glove. That gave him time to recover. If the ref hadn’t stopped it when he did, I feel I would have knocked him out.”
On his career?
“I had to work hard for my career. I don’t have a padded record. I do not have it as easy as most in their career. I don’t have a big-time promoter, and I’m not pampered. I’ve fought tough guys throughout my career but I’ve learned a lot and have no regrets. But I feel it’s time for me to step up. After I win الجمعة على ShoBox, a lot of doors should start opening up me.”
New Nickname?
“I’ve been known as ‘Superman’my whole career but I’m thinking of changing it to “Steel.” The Wright fight proved a lot of me, and I learned a lot. أنا لم أترك. I’m very tough and strong-minded, made of ‘steel.'”
