**NEW YORK – Décembre 7, 2020 –** Perspective montante invaincue **Richardson Hitchins** a partagé les détails de son camp d'entraînement, y compris les conseils et la motivation qu'il a reçus de Floyd Mayweather et Gervonta Davis, avant son affrontement super léger contre l'ancien champion du monde **Argenis Mendez** en direct sur SHOWTIME ce samedi, Décembre 12 à 9 p.m. HE / 6 h, heure. PT dans un événement présenté par Premier Boxing Champions de Mohegan Sun Arena à Uncasville, Conn.

«Floyd m'a énormément aidé à mon retour à Las Vegas,» A déclaré Hitchins. «J'ai déjà les fondamentaux en tant que combattant, mais il m'a montré de petites choses ici et là et des séances d'entraînement que j'ai emportées chez moi pendant que je m'entraîne pour ce combat. Je ne suis pas timide par ma capacité de combattant, parce que je crois vraiment que je suis le meilleur combattant du jeu, c'est donc le genre de combats dont j'ai besoin pour montrer au monde qui est Richardson Hitchins.

«Gervonta a également joué un rôle déterminant dans les camps de combat antérieurs, et il est le type de personne dont vous avez besoin. Il te pousse à aller plus fort. On va tête-à-tête en essayant de se surpasser, et c’est le type de compétition dont on a besoin pour être vraiment le meilleur. »

Malgré la formation tout au long de la pandémie, Hitchins a pu rester sur la bonne voie tout au long de son camp qui a commencé à Las Vegas avant de se terminer dans son Brooklyn natal sous la direction de son entraîneur-chef Lenny Wilson..

«La chose à propos de moi est, Je suis concentré quoi qu'il arrive,» A déclaré Hitchins. «Je ne décolle pas après mes combats. Je reste en forme toute l'année; Je n’ai pas besoin de me préparer en termes de conditionnement ou de remise en forme car c’est mon travail. Je prends mon travail très au sérieux. La discipline que Floyd a eue tout au long de sa carrière est la même que moi. J'ai regardé mes idoles et leur ai pris des choses pour que je puisse me mettre en position de gagner.

«Je ne pense pas que la pandémie ou les vacances ont nécessairement modifié ma formation. J'ai toujours accès à ma salle de sport. Il n'y a rien qui m'empêchera de devenir grand. La pandémie ne me ralentit pas, c'est juste un autre obstacle pour tester mon dévouement au sport. "

Les Hitchins, 23 ans, ont représenté Haïti à la 2016 Jeux Olympiques et reviendra sur le ring après ses débuts en 2020 avec une victoire décisive de 10 rounds contre Nicholas DeLomba en février. C'était la deuxième victoire par décision de Hitchins en 10 rounds après que son combat précédent lui ait vu le meilleur Kevin Johnson après 10 tournées en novembre 2019.

«Je repense souvent à mon combat contre Kevin Johnson, c’est un combattant coriace et c’est lui qui, je peux le dire avec confiance, a apporté le meilleur de moi,» A déclaré Hitchins. «Ce sont les combats qui me font regarder en arrière et regarder de près les choses sur lesquelles je dois travailler. Ce combat m'a aussi montré que personne ne devrait être négligé, alors entrer dans ce combat contre Mendez, Je ne le néglige pas. "

Méndez présente l'adversaire le plus accompli de la jeune carrière des Hitchins. L'ancien champion de 34 ans a récemment combattu Juan Heraldez et Anthony Peterson pour faire match nul 2019, et a remporté des victoires sur Eddie Ramirez et Ivan Redkach avant cela. Pour Hitchins, le CV fort de son adversaire est quelque chose qu'il apprécie comme mesure de ses progrès.

«C'est un vétéran, il a été là-bas avec beaucoup de durs et c'est un ancien champion du monde, il a donc clairement un ensemble de compétences que je pense devoir affronter à ce stade de ma carrière,» A déclaré Hitchins. «J'ai besoin de ces gros combats. Il est plus âgé maintenant, mais je sens que lui dans sa fleur de l'âge ne pouvait toujours pas toucher mes compétences. C’est mon travail de le prouver.

"Je sais que ce ne sera pas un combat facile, mais je serai prêt à tout ce qu'il apporte. Ma motivation est d'être plus qu'ordinaire. J'atteindrai mes objectifs quand tout sera dit et fait, et honnêtement, J'attends juste que ce combat vienne pour que je puisse le montrer. Que ce soit Méndez, ou qui que ce soit, la conviction que j'ai et ce que je ressens à propos de moi-même est plus forte que tout ce qui se tient devant moi dans ce ring.

Le triple en-tête, initialement prévu pour novembre 28, verra des prétendants de poids moyenMatt KorobovetRonald Ellisbataille dans le co-main event de 10 rounds et phénomène ascendant super légerRichardson Hitchinssubir le test le plus difficile de sa jeune carrière face à l'ancien champion du mondeArgenis Mendezdans un ouvreur de télédiffusion à 10 coups. L'événement est promu par TGB Promotions et Sampson Boxing. Hitchins vs. Mendez est co-promu par Mayweather Promotions.

Nordine Oubaali contre. Nonito Donaire devait initialement avoir lieu en décembre 12 mais a été reporté après qu'Oubaali ait été testé positif au COVID-19.

«Cet événement principal en décembre 12 opposera deux des talents émergents les plus excitants de la division de 130 livres alors que le sublime Chris Colbert affrontera le puissant Jaime Arboleda dans une confrontation à ne pas manquer,» A déclaré Tom Brown, Président de TGB Promotions. «Lors de cet événement co-principal, deux prétendants des poids moyens, Matt Korobov et Ronald Ellis, chercheront à montrer qu'ils font partie de l'élite de la division., tandis que l'ouverture du SHOWTIME met en vedette le prospect excitant Richardson Hitchins contre le toujours difficile Argenis Mendez dans un grand combat intensif. Ce sont trois combats homogènes qui devraient donner lieu à un drame sans escale le soir du combat.

Représentant son Brooklyn natal, N. Y., Colbert (14-0, 5 KOs) a rapidement grimpé dans le classement des 130 livres, affronter une compétition de haut niveau dans sa première 14 combats professionnels. Le joueur de 24 ans a battu les combattants invaincus Austin Dulay, Titus Williams et Antonio Dubose, le tout dans ses huit premiers combats en tant que professionnel. En 2019, Colbert a ajouté quatre autres victoires à son décompte, y compris un KO explosif au premier tour du vétéran Miguel Beltran Jr. Plus récemment,, Colbert a remporté son titre par intérim en abandonnant l'ancien champion des super poids plume Jezreel Corrales sur le chemin d'une décision unanime en janvier 2020 choc.

«Je suis super excité de faire mes grands débuts sur scène dans l'événement principal,»A déclaré Colbert. «Ça a été un long camp, mais la formation se passe très bien. Je cherche à faire une performance dominante, et je cherche le KO s'il est là. Si je peux l'obtenir, ce serait splendide. Je sais que Jaime va venir se battre. Il veut la ceinture aussi mal que je veux garder la ceinture. Tout dépendra de l'endurance, Ring IQ et qui a la plus grande volonté de gagner. Je sens que je suis le gars pour le travail. Il n’y a aucun moyen que je renonce à ma ceinture pour ma première défense. »

Arboleda, 26 ans (16-1, 13 KOs) a amassé une impressionnante séquence de six victoires consécutives avant le match contre Colbert, avec cinq de ces victoires à l'intérieur de la distance. Né à Curundu, Panama, et maintenant se battre contre Miami, Fla. Arboleda se bat professionnellement depuis 2014 et a marqué KO contre deux adversaires alors invaincus en 2019, Victor Betancourt et Jose Saant. Dans son dernier combat, Arboleda, qui est classé quatrième dans la division 130 livres par la WBA, a battu l'ancien prétendant au titre mondial Jayson Velez par décision unanime de remporter son premier combat de 12 rounds en février sur SHOWTIME.

“Le rêve de tout boxeur est de se battre pour un titre et de remporter la victoire sans laisser de doute,»Dit Arboleda. «C'est mon plan pour décembre 12. J'ai la meilleure préparation de toute ma carrière. Je me sens bien, fort et rapide comme jamais auparavant. Je suis sûr que ce sera un combat très excitant dès le premier tour. "

Korobov (28-3-1, 14 KOs) revient à l'action après avoir perdu son décembre 2019 affrontement contre Chris Eubank Jr. lorsqu'il a subi une blessure à l'épaule qui a obligé le combat à se terminer au deuxième tour. Korobov, qui a entaillé 300 gagne en amateur décoré, est entré dans ce combat après un match nul contre Immanuwel Aleem, après avoir notifié à la division des poids moyens qu'il serait une menace lorsqu'il a perdu une décision acharnée contre le champion invaincu des poids moyens Jermall Charlo en décembre. Né à Orotukan, Russie, et vivant maintenant à St. Pétersbourg, Fla, Korobov était un remplacement tardif et a donné Charlo un combat plus difficile que de nombreux experts attendus. Korobov avait été monté sur un série de victoires à quatre combat avant le combat Charlo, suite à sa première défaite professionnelle contre Andy Lee dans un 2014 combat pour le titre des poids moyens.

“Je suis ravi d'être de retour à un événement PBC sur SHOWTIME le 12 décembre” dit Korobov. “J'ai un adversaire difficile, mais j'espère gagner et prouver que je suis de retour et encore mieux préparé. Je dois gagner contre Ellis pour ramener Jermall Charlo sur le ring. Bien sûr, Je crois que j'ai battu Charlo, mais c'est le passé. Ellis est dans mon futur, et je viens pour montrer que je suis toujours l'un des meilleurs poids moyens du monde.”

Ellis, 31 ans (17-1-2, 11 KOs) cherchera à s'appuyer sur sa dernière sortie, qui l'a vu devancer son compatriote Immanuwel Aleem par décision majoritaire en décembre 2019. Pour Ellis, ce combat l'a ramené dans la colonne des victoires après sa première défaite en carrière, une décision majoritaire contre DeAndre Ware en mars 2019. Le Lynn, Mass.-native est le frère aîné du poids welter Rashidi Ellis, et a eu une carrière amateur impressionnante comprenant un 2010 Le championnat national des Golden Gloves couronné par une victoire sur Terrell Gausha.

“Il est temps pour moi de montrer le 12 décembre,” dit Ellis. “Korobov a eu sa chance contre les meilleurs poids moyens, et maintenant, il est temps pour moi de profiter de cette opportunité et d'utiliser une victoire contre lui pour atteindre ce niveau. Nous travaillons dur à San Diego pour nous disputer avec Canelo Alvarez pour que tout soit parfait et que je sois à mon meilleur la nuit de combat.”

Originaire de Brooklyn, Hitchins (11-0, 5 KOs) est devenu professionnel en 2017 après avoir représenté Haïti à la 2016 Jeux olympiques. Le joueur de 23 ans a montré des compétences impressionnantes alors qu'il a accumulé un record invaincu dans les rangs professionnels, qui est le produit d'une longue carrière amateur. Hitchins a remporté quatre victoires en 2019, avant de faire ses débuts dans 2020 avec une victoire décisive sur Nicholas DeLomba. Lors de ses deux premiers combats de 10 rounds en tant que professionnel, le gaucher a marqué des décisions décisives à l'unanimité.

"Je n'oublie aucun adversaire, mais je crois que j'ai des compétences meilleures et plus pointues que Mendez,» A déclaré Hitchins. «J'ai tous les actifs incorporels pour devenir un champion du monde. C'est souvent confondu avec arrogance, mais c’est vraiment moi qui croit en moi plus que quiconque. Je prendrai ce combat au sérieux comme je fais n'importe quel autre combat et continuerai à faire ce que je fais pour me rapprocher de ce coup de titre. Être au camp avec Floyd Mayweather et Gervonta Davis, J'ai beaucoup appris. Je sens que je dois surpasser la concurrence. Ils m'ont vraiment poussé à devenir un meilleur combattant.

Un ancien champion des super poids plume, Mendez (25-5-3, 12 KOs) a la réputation de fournir des défis difficiles aux meilleurs du sport et s'est avéré être un concurrent durable à 140 livres. En 2019, Mendez s'est battu pour des matchs nuls consécutifs contre des prétendants super légers, d'abord contre Anthony Peterson en mars, puis contre l'invaincu Juan Heraldez en mai. Né à San Juan de La Maguana, République Dominicaine, Mendez se bat maintenant hors de Yonkers, N. Y.. et possède des victoires sur Eddie Ramirez, Ivan Redkach et l'ancien titlist Miguel Vazquez. Il a également affronté les anciens champions Rances Barthelemy et Robert Easter Jr.

«Je suis face à un jeune prospect qui a soif de succès, mais j'ai plus faim aujourd'hui que je ne l'ai jamais été dans ma carrière et j'ai l'expérience pour l'accompagner,”A dit Mendez. «Je suis également extrêmement motivé pour ce combat, ce qui n’est pas une bonne nouvelle pour les Hitchins. Quand le combat arrive en décembre 12, vous assisterez à un Argenis Mendez intelligent mais plus agressif. "

**BROOKLYN** (Mai 19, 2019) – WBC World Heavyweight Champion **Deontay “Le Bomber Bronze” Wilder** délivré le 40^e knock-out de sa carrière dans la mode dévastatrice samedi soir, l'envoi de challenger obligatoire **Dominic “Difficulté” Breazeale**à plat sur le dos avec une marque droite devant une foule bruyante au Barclays Center, la maison de BROOKLYN BOXE ™, dans un événement présenté par Premier Champions de boxe. Avec succès la défense de sa ceinture pour la neuvième fois, Wilder se joint illustre compagnie aux côtés de Hall of Fame Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson et plus et devient le 10e combattant de l'histoire à faire au moins neuf défenses de titre des poids lourds succès consécutifs. Regardez ICI: https://s.sho.com/2Hp0AEh

Dans l'accumulation au combat de championnat du monde de ce soir, Wilder (41-0-1, 40 KOs) a promis à plusieurs reprises que la lutte ne durerait pas longtemps. Le Tuscaloosa dominant, Ala. indigène a tenu sa parole, marquant le 20^e KO au premier tour de sa carrière et son 15^e effet de choc en tant que champion du monde poids lourd. Breazeale (20-2, 18 KOs) a pu résister à la première attaque au début de Wilder, mais n'a pas pu battre l'arbitre de 10 comptes de Harvey Dock lorsque Wilder connecté au ras plus tard la main droite le plus dangereux de la boxe dans l'ouverture ronde.

“Tout vient de moi ce soir”, Saïd Wilder. “Je sais que ça a été une grande accumulation, il y a eu beaucoup d'animosité et beaucoup de mots qui ont été dit et il vient de sortir de moi ce soir. Ce qui fait de la boxe si grand.

“Je viens de dire que je l'aime Breazeale et bien sûr, je veux le voir rentrer à la maison à sa famille. Je sais que nous disons des choses, but when you can fight a man and then you can hug him and kiss him, I wish the world was like that. We shake hands and we live to see another day and that’s what it’s all about.”

As the attention of the heavyweight division turns to what’s next, Wilder insists that a fight with Tyson Fury, the only man he has faced and not defeated, or Anthony Joshua remains on the table and in the works.

“I understand what Fury did,” Saïd Wilder. “When you get dropped on the canvas like that I understand you have to get yourself back together. But the rematch will happen, like all these other fights will happen. The great thing is all these fights rare in discussion. The big fights will happen. I just want you to have patience.”

Breazeale, whose only two defeats have now come against both Wilder and Joshua, was disappointed he wasn’t allowed to continue the fight.

“I think the ref stopped it a little early because I could hear him saying seven and eight, but that’s boxing,” Saïd Breazeale. “He did his job and kept us safe for our next fight.

“I got on my feet and had my legs under me. It’s the heavyweight division so there’s going to big shots from guys with power. This was a situation where he landed the big right hand before I did. I thought I was going to come on in the later rounds. I’ll be back and go for the heavyweight title again.”

Dans la co-métrage, WBC Champion du monde poids plume **Gary Russell Jr.** (30-1, 18 KOs) put on yet another professional display to defend his belt for the fourth time against a valiant **Kiko Martinez** (39-9-2, 28 KOs). Due to a gash that opened up over Martinez’s left eye, referee Ricky Gonzalez stopped the fight in the fifth round upon the advice of the ringside physician, resulting in a technical knockout.

Russell, who was fighting for the first time in a year, showed no signs of ring rust and displayed his full skillset including his trademark lightning quick hands. The 30-year-old Capitol Heights, Md. native was dominant from the opening bell and landed on a remarkable 40% de ses coups de puissance. In an all-action fight with little downtime, Martinez did more than enough to play his part. The Spaniard constantly came forward but Russell continued to target the cut that opened up over his eye after a right hook in the second round. The ringside official called for the stoppage of the fight at 2:52 of round number five.

“I did pretty good,” dit le 2008 U.S.. Olympian Russell to SHOWTIME ringside reporter Jim Gray. “We stayed behind the jab and he couldn’t get past it. We knew that intellect over athleticism would get it done.

“We want [WBA champion poids plume] Leo Santa Cruz,” Russell continued while wearing a shirt that read ‘Leo Next’. “We want to make this fight happen. The fire is all the way hot on this side of the field. You will get burned. I would love for that fight to happen this year. Let’s make it happen.”

“It was a good stoppage for a very tough fight,” said the former world champion Martinez. “I’m definitely a visual fighter so the cut made it tough. Gary was in great physical condition and it was a very hard fight.

“I’m going to rest a little bit now, but I’ll be back. I thought I had some good moments and had a good division. I think I’ll drop back down to 122-pounds to win a world title there.”

Dans l'ouvreur télédiffusé, invaincu perspective **Juan Heraldez** (16-0-1, 10 KOs) et ancien champion du monde **Argenis Mendez** (25-5-2, 12 KOs) fought to a highly competitive majority draw. Deux juges ont marqué le combat 95-95, while a third had Mendez winning 97-93.

Fighting in front of his mentor Floyd Mayweather, Las Vegas’ Heraldez controlled many of the early rounds by setting the pace and establishing his jab. Heraldez outlanded Mendez 126-108 in total punches and 70-30 in jabs throughout the 10 tours. Falling behind early, Mendez, a seasoned veteran and 2004 Dominican Republic Olympian, used his experience to grow back into the fight. The tempo picked up in the fifth round, as both fighters landed several heavy blows but the momentum shifted towards Mendez. The 32-year-old Mendez, who has fought seven current or former champions, closed out the fight exceptionally strong, winning the final round on all three judges’ tableaux de bord. Without doing so, Mendez would have lost the fight.

“Je pensais que je gagné le combat,” said a disappointed Mendez. “He didn’t do anything to me. How did he win the fight? If I have to prove I beat him in a rematch, Je serai prêt. I won’t leave it up to the judges.

“My speed and my power made it difficult for him. I thought my counterpunching was really good. He tired toward the later rounds and that let me get a little closer to him to get my offense going.”

De même, Heraldez thought he did enough to win the fight which he viewed as a potential coming out party.

“I thought I won a close decision,” Heraldez said. “I didn’t think it was a draw. He didn’t do anything that hurt me at any point.

“He wasn’t really engaging with me. He was just trying to move around and pick his shots, but it wasn’t anything I wasn’t ready for. I’ll either take the rematch with Mendez or move forward toward my goal of a world title.”

Preceding the telecast, SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN featured three undercard attractions streamed live on the SHOWTIME Sports social platforms. A battle between heavyweights **Robert Alfonso** (18-0-1, 8 KOs) et **Iago Kiladze** (26-4-1, 18 KOs) ended in a split-draw after eight rounds of action. While one judge scored the fight 77-75 for Alfonso, another had it 77-75 pour Kiladze, avec le troisième juge le marquant 76-76, resulting in the draw.

Also entering the ring was 2016 U.S.. Olympien **Gary Antuanne Russell** (9-0, 9 KOs), the younger brother of the featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr., qui ont abandonné**Marcos Mojica** (16-4-2, 12 KOs) twice to earn a stoppage 2:13 dans le troisième tour. Rounding out the action was Brooklyn-native and 2016 Haïtienne olympique **Richardson Hitchins** (9-0, 5 KOs), who scored a TKO of **Alejandro Munera** (4-2-3, 4 KOs) after Munera was knocked down in round three and unable to continue despite making it to the final bell of the round.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Barclays Center:

**Deontay Wilder**

“These fighters always get into great shape and think they have the game plan to beat me. They think they’re going to catch me. It’s not going to work. Nothing this guy has prepared for is going to work.

“I hope he brings the best he can bring. This is more than just a boxing match. I’m passionate about what I do. This has been a long time coming for me and Dominic. He asked for this, and he shall receive.

“It’s going to be an amazing night for me, and a sad night for him. Being heavyweight champion is a big responsibility. Not everyone is made to be a champion. It’s more than being glamorous or carrying around this prestigious belt.

“I’ve trained harder than I’ve ever trained. He’s got me inspired like I was against Bermane Stiverne. I want to hurt Breazeale so bad. I’m going to keep my composure until that time comes Saturday night.

“I don’t believe Breazeale when he speaks. I’ve been in this game for a very long time. Someone like him is not going to beat me. The closest he’s going to get to this belt is in his dreams.

“My whole team has been with me since day one. We started together and we’re going to go all the way together. It’s been an amazing run for me. I started my career at the very bottom and worked all the way to this point.

“We never rushed anything. Even in the Olympics, I was still learning on the job. We trained to be a long term champion, not a short term champion, and we accomplished that. I’m appreciative for how far I’ve come and for everything that’s come with it. Hard work pays off.

“My actions are going to speak louder than my words. I am the best. I am the chosen one. Il peut dire ce qu'il veut. It’s going to be a great fight for as long as it lasts. I’m going to bring the pain. samedi soir, everyone is in for a treat.”

**DOMINIC Breazeale**

“Je suis super excité pour ce combat. Virgil Hunter and myself had a great camp. It was truly one of the best of my life. I’m mentally focused and physically right.

“I’m excited to be back and get another knockout win. Getting that WBC belt is everything to me. This is my Super Bowl.

“Victory for me on Saturday is everything. Wilder doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into. He’s in for a fight. He better be confident in his abilities, because Saturday night, he’s going to be in the toughest fight of his life.

“I’m going to beat Deontay so bad that he’s not going to ever want to lace up the gloves again. Sports are 80% mental. Quand je suis fait avec lui, the mental aspect is going to be beat out of him.

“I’m going to put on another explosive performance. I’ve been dreaming for the last year about hearing ‘and the new.’ It’s a beautiful thing and I can’t wait to make it come true and have my hand raised.

“Wilder hasn’t developed at all during his career. He looks the same as he did in the amateurs. He needs to talk himself up to make himself feel confident.

“I’m too mentally in-tune to be focused on what someone says. When I go into a fight I don’t worry about what my opponent can do, but about what I want to do and how I can execute.

“None of Deontay’s words affect me at all. He’s going to keep barking and I’m just going to keep waiting. I’m going to quiet him down on Saturday night.”

**GARY RUSSELL JR.**

“I’m hungry and ready. Anyone that I step in the ring with is standing in the way of my goals. Anyone trying to stop me, is in a dangerous position.

“We’re going to try to control the pace of the fight with my jab. I don’t think he’s going to get past the jab. He’s going to try to get rough and physical. My plan is to make the adjustments that I need to get this win.

“It’s always a family affair with the Russells. We move as a unit and we excel as a unit. My family is where I pull all my energy from. It’s never a distraction. They give me the fuel I need.

“In boxing you need to have full trust and belief in your coach. I couldn’t imagine a better fit than having my dad. Even if he gives instructions that might not be 100% right in my eyes, I know that it’s going to be the best thing for me.

“No one in this division wants to step in the ring with me. They know the speed and power and abilities that I bring every time I step into the ring.

“Deontay and I were on the same Olympic team, plus Dominic and my little brother Gary Antuanne Russell were also U.S. Olympiens. It makes for an amazing card on Saturday night.”

**KIKO MARTINEZ**

“I come to fight and get that title. I had a very smooth training camp and feel 100 percent physically.

“I think my experience is superior. He thinks I’m only a pressure fighter, but he hasn’t seen me box the way I’m going to box him on Saturday.

“This is the biggest opportunity of my life. To be on this platform and be able to fight for the championship is very special. Je vais en profiter au maximum.

“I hope that Russell doesn’t take me lightly because I still have a lot of abilities left. It’s going to be a great fight for as long as it lasts.”

**JUAN HERALDEZ**

“Camp went great and I can’t wait to put on a show. I’m going to let everyone in this division know that I’m coming for them. I’m going to seize the moment and take full advantage of it.

“I feel strong and I’m ready to fight. I’m just counting down the minutes until I can step into the ring. It’s a lot of excitement and I’m going to let it all out Saturday.

“I plan to win in spectacular fashion on Saturday. I’m going to show everyone that I’m a player at 140-pounds and I’m ready for anyone they can put in front of me.

“I’m not planning to get hit. I’m going to out box him and stick and move. He’s not going to be able to touch me. If the opportunity for a knockout comes, I’ll take it.”

**Argenis Mendez**

“Je suis très excité pour cette opportunité. I had a great training camp and on Saturday night you’re going to see a show at Barclays Center.

“I love boxing and I love this opportunity that I have on Saturday night. I’m going to show my passion for the sport during this fight. I feel great physically and just cannot wait to get into the ring.

“A win on Saturday night opens the door for me. People are going to start seeing me as one of the best fighters from the Dominican Republic.

“Ça va être un bon combat. I have the speed and skills to out box him. We’re both very smart fighters. I believe I’m the better fighter and it will show on Saturday night.”

**STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Sports and Event Programming, Showtime Networks Inc.**

“The heavyweight division is exciting again and a lot of that has to do with Deontay Wilder. It’s also been helped by SHOWTIME and our commitment to the division. No other network has been more committed or invested more in the heavyweights than SHOWTIME has and we’re proud of that.

“We’re also proud that several of the fighters on this card have fought frequently on SHOWTIME. Deontay will make his 12^e appearance and Gary will make his 11th. Wilder, Russell and Dominic all launched their careers on ShoBox, like so many other great fighters.

“When you get two guys together for a long-awaited grudge match, there’s not a lot that needs to be said. Deontay is the longest-reigning heavyweight champion in the sport. This would be the ninth defense for him, which is something that only nine other heavyweights have done in boxing history.

“Deonay had two of the most exciting heavyweight fights in recent history last year. As for Dominic, he’s a big strong experienced guy who’s been on the world stage before. He has fought for a world title and he’s coming off of three consecutive wins. He has plenty of power and we saw that in his last fight against Carlos Negron that he can change the fight in one punch.”

**BRETT YORMARK, PDG de l'ESB mondial**

“The heavyweight division has been the talk of the sports world for months, and it’s fitting that the world champion will defend his title right here in Brooklyn in one of the biggest fights in the sport this year.

“Deontay, I’ve said for a long time that this is your home away from home and we can’t wait to have you back. You have a big opponent this week in Dominic Breazeale. Dominic you’ve already made two appearances in our ring and we know the fans are looking forward to another great show.”

HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION DEONTAY WILDER LOOKS TO STEP INTO PANTHEON OF ALL-TIME HEAVYWEIGHT GREATS

Mai 10, 2019 FNU47 Laisser un commentaire

**American Champion Wilder Fights To Join**
**Hall Of Fame Heavyweights Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson And More As Only The 10^e Heavyweight In History With Nine Or More Successful Consecutive Title Defenses**

***Samedi, Mai 18 Against Top Contender Dominic Breazeale Live on SHOWTIME***^® ***du centre Barclays à Brooklyn & Présenté par***
***Premier Champions de boxe***

**BROOKLYN** (Mai 8, 2019) – When WBC Heavyweight World Champion **Deontay “Le Bomber Bronze” Wilder** defends his title against mandatory challenger **Dominic “Difficulté” Breazeale** Samedi, Mai 18, he will not only seek to continue his run as the only American heavyweight champion, but also cement himself into the historic company of heavyweight legends that came before him.

In an event taking place live on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, la maison de BROOKLYN BOXE ™, Wilder will attempt to defend his WBC title for the ninth time since first capturing the belt in January 2015. Wilder’s triumph marked the return of heavyweight prizefighting in America and the end of an eight-year drought without an American heavyweight world champion, the longest in the history of the sport.

“There has been a long line of great American heavyweight champions who represented our country with pride, strength and honor in the ring,” Saïd Wilder. “I take the responsibility very seriously to pick up where they left off and continue to show every young fighter who looks up to me, that they one day can be the heavyweight champion of the world.

“I’m a champion of the world, but I represent for the entire country and everyone in it,” Saïd Wilder. “I’ve fought challengers from all around the world, knowing in my mind how important it was to keep this title in the U.S.

If successful on May 18, Wilder will become just the 10^e fighter in the more than 135-year history of heavyweight boxing to make nine or more consecutive successful heavyweight title defenses. Wilder would join an impressive list of Hall of Famers who dominated the sport during their reign – Tommy Burns,, Joe Louis, Joe Frazier, Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Vitali Klitschko and future Hall of Famer Wladimir Klitschko. *Remarque: number of title defenses listed belodans

“Fighters like Jack Johnson, Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and more have paved the way for me,” Saïd Wilder. “Now I’m going to take what they started and make sure that the heavyweight world championship stays in America for a long time.”

Wilder’s successes in the ring have seen him skyrocket toward the kind of recognition that heavyweight champions have garnered throughout history. En 2018 he was ranked 34 on ESPN’s “World Fame 100” list, the top spot of any boxer in the world.

“Being the heavyweight champion and holding that title on the American sports landscape is a huge deal,” Saïd Wilder. “There was a time where that person was as well-known as the president. I’m going to keep leaving a path of destruction inside the ring, so that everyone knows I am the one name and one face of the heavyweight division.”

List of fighters with nine consecutive heavyweight title defenses *(listed chronologically)*:
1.) Tommy Burns, (11)
2.) Joe Louis (25)
3.) Joe Frazier (neuf)
4.) Muhammad Ali (nine in first run, 10 in second reign)
5.) Larry Holmes (20)
6.) Mike Tyson (nine in first run)
7.) Lennox Lewis (nine in second run)
8.) Vitali Klitschko (11 in second run)
9.) Wladimir Klitschko (18 in second run)

**LAS VEGAS** (Mai 2, 2019) – Candidat super léger invaincu **Juan Heraldez** is looking to make a statement when he takes on former world champion **Argenis Mendez**in a 10-round showdown Saturday, Mai 18 en direct sur Showtime de Barclays Centre, la maison de BROOKLYN BOXE ™, et présenté par Premier Champions de boxe.

“I have to outclass him and make him not even want to fight anymore,” Ledit Heraldez. “I’m going to make him retire. My goal on fight night is to win and show out for my Mexican fans in New York.”

Heraldez, who trains out of the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas with coach Otis Pimpleton, made his 2019 debut in February by knocking out Eddie Ramirez in round seven of their super lightweight fight. Mendez is another step up in competition for the 28-year-old.

“On paper he’s the toughest fighter I’ve faced,” Ledit Heraldez. “I only watched some of his fight against Ramirez, but being a former world champion, it means he’s doing something right. I don’t think he does anything better than me and I’m looking to show it on fight night.”

This will be Heraldez’s first fight on SHOWTIME, giving him a chance to shine on a big stage leading up to the Deontay Wilder heavyweight world title defense against Dominic Breazeale in the main event. For Heraldez, he sees this is an opportunity to display what he’s already being doing in the ring for years.

“I’m excited to be able to show off what I’ve always been able to do,” Ledit Heraldez. “It’s going to be no surprise to the people around me who know what I’m capable of. It’s another stage with more people watching, but the ring and everything else stays the same.

“A fight like this adds more motivation for my future because I want to keep changing the lives of my family. Little by little, win by win and fight by fight, I can accomplish that. That’s where my motivation comes from.”

A Las Vegas-native who is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, Heraldez believes he’s ready for a world title shot and knows that Argenis Mendez is currently in his path to getting that coveted opportunity.

“If the title fight is there after I beat Mendez, Je le prends,” Ledit Heraldez. “That’s one of the ultimate goals and something I’ve been preparing for my whole career. I’m going to keep training hard like I always do to be at my best against Mendez. I’m going to have a great performance May 18 and they won’t be able to deny my place in this division.”

BILOXI, MISSISSIPPI (Mai 8, 2018) – Candidat une fois battu Eddie Ramirez va prendre ancien champion du monde Argenis Mendez in a 10-round super lightweight showdown that headlines Premier Champions de boxe sur FS1 and FOX Deportes Samedi, Mai 26 from Beau Rivage Resort and Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Couverture télévisée commence à 9 p.m. HE / 6 h, heure. PT and will also feature former title challenger Oscar Escandon rencontre invaincu 2012 Médaillé d'argent olympique Tugstsogt Nyambayar dans un poids plume combat de 10 rounds.

Les billets pour l'événement en direct, qui est promu par Promotions TGB, commence à $20 and are on sale now at the Beau Rivage Theatre box office, à www.ticketmaster.com ou en appelant Ticketmaster au (800) 745-3000.

“This is a fantastic card for true boxing fans, because it has all the elements that make the sport great,” a déclaré Tom Brown, Président de TGB Promotions. “You have a young contender in Eddie Ramirez looking to rebound from the first loss of his career facing a battle-tested former world champion in Argenis Mendez. You also have a young hungry contender in Nyambayar taking a major step forward by facing a strong contender in Escandon who wants to get back in the title mix. No one wants to take a step backwards.”

Ramirez (17-1, 11 KOs) is looking to bounce back from suffering the first loss of his career in his last outing. Ramirez was knocked out by former world champion Antonio DeMarco last October on FOX, although Ramirez believed the ref acted too hastily in ending the fight. The 25-year-old from Aurora, Illinois was rapidly moving up the ranks before the loss, having scored impressive stoppage victories over then unbeaten prospects Kevin Watts and Ryan Karl and a split decision victory over Erick Bone in fights that aired on FS1 and FOX Deportes.

“I really wanted the rematch with Antonio DeMarco, but I’m excited to be back in the ring,” said Ramirez. “Mendez is a good fighter, but I’m going to win by knockout. I’m confident that I’m going to make a big statement that I’m back and better than I’ve ever been.”

The 31-year-old Mendez (24-5-1, 12 KOs) is coming off a split decision victory over Ivan Redkach last May on FS1 and FOX Deportes. Avec la victoire, the fighter out of the Dominican Republic rebounded from back-to-back losses to lightweight champion Robert Easter, Jr. and Luke Campbell. Un membre de la 2004 Dominican Olympic team, Mendez won a 130-pound world title with a knockout victory over Juan Carlos Salgado in 2013. He fought Rances Barthelemy twice to defend the title, with the first fight being declared a no decision before Mendez dropped the rematch.

“I lost two fights and people started to wonder if I was done, but I’m a former world champion and came back strong to win my last fight,” dit Mendez. “Eddie Ramirez is a good fighter, but when I show him my speed power, and skills, everyone is going to see what I’m still capable of. This is a great opportunity to show that I can beat this guy badly and get back to the world championship level.”

Escandon (25-3, 17 KOs) is trying to climb back into the featherweight title picture after losing by TKO to world champion Gary Russell, Jr. dans son dernier combat en mai 20. The 33-year-old from Ibague, Colombia scored a knockout victory over Robinson Castellanos in a 2016 interim featherweight title fight and lost a split decision to Moises Flores in a 2015 interim super bantamweight title bout.

“With the level of competition that I’ve fought and beat, I know I’m the toughest and most experienced guy Nyambayar will have ever fought,” said Escandon. “Knockouts are what I do, and that’s what I’m preparing to accomplish. But no matter what he tries to do, box or fight, I’m going to win this fight and climb back to the top.”

Nyambayar (9-0, 8 KOs) went the distance for the first time as a pro last time in the ring as he earned an eight round unanimous decision over then unbeaten Harmonito Dela Torre last November. The 25-year-old from Ulan-Bator, Mongolia won a silver medal at flyweight at the 2012 London Games and has trained in California since turning pro in 2015.

“I feel very prepared for this fight,” said Nyambayar. “I’ve gained a lot of experience in my last few fights and have started to prove that I am tough and dangerous. This is another step up and I expect him to be toughest opponent I’ve faced. I’m determined to win this fight by any means,”

LAS VEGAS (Février. 17, 2018) – Former two-division world champion Danny Garcia returned with a vengeance, knocking out Brandon Rios in a WBC Welterweight Title Eliminator in the main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Samedi on SHOWTIME from Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

Returning for the first time since dropping a close split-decision to Keith Thurman in a welterweight world championship unification fight in March of 2017, Garcia reminded fans of his position amongst boxing’s elite at 147 pounds with an early candidate for 2018 Knockout de l'année.

VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/2HpwG0N

Garcia (34-1, 20 KOs) did his best work in the center of the ring, where he was able to box at a distance and fend off Rios’ furious pace. Rios, who returned in 2017 from a brief retirement, was most effective against the ropes where he gave Garcia trouble with his constant pressure and his favorite weapon – a wide overhand right.

In the ninth round with the fight where Garcia wanted it – in the center of the ring – the Philadelphia native landed a huge counter right to the chin that sent Rios flat on his back. Rios beat the count, but was clearly wobbly on his feet, forcing referee Kenny Bayless to halt the contest at 2:25 of the ninth.

“I felt the ring rust a little bit in the beginning,” a déclaré Garcia, who recorded the 20th knockout of his career. “He’s a good inside fighter and he was giving me some good uppercuts. Je me sentais bien, it was a good nine rounds. Il est venu à se battre. I came to box, I did that. I came to bang, and I gave the fans what they wanted – a knockout.

“I just noticed when I was getting my punches off he was standing right in front of me and I just let it go. As soon as I got the fight in the middle of the ring where I wanted I landed good shots. I was just letting my hands go and the punch landed.”

Après le combat, SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray asked Garcia how the loss to Thurman affected him.

“The loss was tough. I have the mindset of a winner,” Garcia a déclaré. “I hate losing. I took it like a true champion and I bounced back like a true champion.

“I would love the rematch with Keith Thurman. It’s on him. Whenever he’s ready we’ll fight.”

WBA and WBC Champion Thurman isn’t the only potential blockbuster on the horizon for Garcia. Former welterweight champion and the WBC’s No. 1 ranked contender Shawn Porter looms for what would be a massive showdown between the former champions.

Après le combat, Rios (34-4-1, 24 KOs) was frustrated with the stoppage and promised to return.

“Je suis en colère. I don’t like going out like that,” Rios said. “I’m a warrior, I got back up and I wanted to continue. I guess they stopped it but I’m mad. I’m mad because I got up.

“I was doing good. I got lazy with the jab and he came over with the right hand and he caught me. I’m a warrior. I’m still in the game. I didn’t think he did much to hurt me. I think it was closer than what he thought it was. He just caught me with a lucky punch. I was ready to continue.”

Boxing’s youngest world champion, David Benavidez, left no questions in a rematch with Ronald Gavril, defending his WBC Super Middleweight World Championship with a dominating 12-round unanimous decision in Samedi co-feature on SHOWTIME.

The 21-year-old Benavidez and Gavril had fought to a close split-decision in one of 2017’s best fights that saw Benavidez drop to the canvas in the final minute of the 12^e et tour final. The Phoenix native had no trouble in the immediate rematch, utilizing a stiff jab and a steady diet of combo shots to win a near-shutout over the game Gavril.

Benavidez (20-0, 17 KOs) wore down Gavril with an intelligent body attack, pounding the midsection to open up power shots and jabs to the head. Benavidez had his best round in the fourth, connecting on a huge right uppercut that nearly floored Gavril – who appeared to be saved by the ropes – and then pounced with a series of damaging combo shots.

Benavidez appeared to hurt his right hand in the second half of the fight and stepped off the gas in the 10th, 11th and 12th. But Benavidez, who connected on 41 pour cent de ses coups en puissance, still landed the harder shots and utilized a stiff left jab to keep Gavril largely at bay.

“I knew he was going to come aggressive. He’s a one-trick opponent,” Benavidez said. “I knew I could jab and box him all day. When I saw the opening I took it. I didn’t knock him out though – he’s a tough son of a gun.

“Both my hands hurt but I have that warrior’s mentality so I kept pushing.

“I want to be the best in division. So whoever they put in front of me that’s what I want to do.”

Gavril (18-3, 14 KOs) didn’t make any excuses for dropping what was an action-packed affair that was scored 119-109 et 120-108 deux fois.

“He tried to box me on the outside,” Gavril said. “It was good fight. Il était le meilleur homme ce soir. Qu'est-ce que je peux dire? I want to go back in the gym and come back stronger.”

In the opening bout of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, Yordenis Ugas scored the biggest win of his career, knocking out Ray Robinson in the seventh round of an IBF Welterweight Eliminator.

ugas (21-3, 10 KOs) now holds the IBF’s No. 2 position to undefeated champion Errol Spence Jr.

ugas, a former amateur standout who is now 6-0 since moving up to the 147-pound class, set the tone with a knockdown in the closing minute of the opening round. Robinson (24-3, 12 KOs) survived and was later deducted a point for hitting after the bell as the fourth round came to a close. The illegal punch floored an unexpected Ugas, who rebounded and continued to dominate the subsequent rounds.

In the opening minute of the seventh, the 31-year-old Ugas landed a massive right that floored Robinson, who beat the count but was clearly hurt. Ugas unleashed an onslaught with a series of combos, forcing referee Robert Byrd to step in to halt the contest at 1:05 with Robinson defenseless against the ropes.

Ugas landed 51 percent of his power shots and was comfortably ahead on all three judges at the time of the stoppage.

“I felt like I was the stronger fighter by far and he didn’t hurt me,” said Ugas. “He lost a point for hitting me after the bell sounded, and knocked me down, but even that didn’t hurt me. He was very awkward and his style threw off my timing.

“Luckily I was able to land body shots that I knew were hurting him. I was able to dictate the pace and we never in trouble.

“I want Errol Spence next. Everyone wants Errol.”
