NEW YORK – Grudzień 7, 2020 – Niepokonany rośnie perspektywa Richardson Hitchins shared details of his training camp, including pointers and motivation he received from Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis, ahead of his super lightweight showdown against former world champion Argenis Méndez live on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Grudzień 12 w 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

“Floyd helped me tremendously while I was back in Las Vegas,- powiedział Hitchins. “I already have the fundamentals as a fighter, but he showed me little things here and there and workouts that I have taken back home with me while I train for this fight. I’m not shy about my ability as a fighter, because I truly believe I am the best up and coming fighter in the game, so these are the kind of fights I need in order to show the world who Richardson Hitchins is.

“Gervonta has been instrumental in past fight camps as well, and he’s the type of person you need. He pushes you to go harder. We go head-to-head in trying to outdo each other, and that’s the type of competition that’s needed in order to really be the best.”

Despite training throughout the pandemic, Hitchins has been able to remain on task and on track throughout his camp that began in Las Vegas before ending in his native Brooklyn under the guidance of his head coach Lenny Wilson.

“The thing about me is, I’m focused no matter what,- powiedział Hitchins. “I don’t take ‘off’ after my fights. I stay in shape all year round; I don’t need to get ready in terms of conditioning or getting my body back in shape because this is my job. I take my job very seriously. The discipline Floyd has had throughout his career is the same discipline I have. I have watched my idols and taken things from them so that I can put myself in a position to win.

“I don’t think the pandemic or the holidays necessarily altered my training. I still have access to my gym. There’s nothing that’s going to stand in my way of becoming great. The pandemic doesn’t slow me down, it’s just another roadblock to test my dedication to the sport.”

The 23-year-old Hitchins represented Haiti at the 2016 Olympic Games and will return to the ring after debuting in 2020 with a 10-round decision victory over Nicholas DeLomba in February. It was Hitchins’ second 10-round decision win after his previous fight saw him best Kevin Johnson following 10 rounds in November 2019.

“I often think back to my fight against Kevin Johnson, he’s a tough fighter and he’s the one who I can confidently say brought the best out of me,- powiedział Hitchins. “Those are the fights that make me look back and watch closely the things I need to work on. That fight also showed me that no one should be overlooked, so going into this fight against Mendez, I’m not overlooking him.”

Méndez presents the most accomplished opponent of Hitchins’ young career. The 34-year-old former champion most recently fought Juan Heraldez and Anthony Peterson to draws in 2019, and scored victories over Eddie Ramirez and Ivan Redkach prior to that. For Hitchins, the strong resume of his opponent is something he relishes as a measuring stick for his progress.

“He’s a veteran, he’s been in there with a lot of tough guys and he’s a former world champion, so he clearly has a skill set that I think I need to face at this point in my career,- powiedział Hitchins. “I need those big fights. He’s older now, but I feel like him in his prime still couldn’t touch my skillset. It’s my job to prove that.

“I know this won’t be an easy fight, but I’ll be prepared for whatever he brings. My motivation is to be more than ordinary. I will fulfill my goals when this is all said and done, and honestly, I’m just waiting for this fight to come so I can show that. Whether it’s Méndez, or whoever, the conviction I have and how I feel about myself is stronger than anything standing in front of me in that ring.”

Wydarzenie jest promowane przez TGB Promotions i Sampson Boxing. Hitchins vs. Mendez jest współpromowany przez Mayweather Promotions.

Nordine Oubaali vs. Nonito Donaire miał pierwotnie odbyć się w grudniu 12 ale został przełożony po pozytywnym wyniku testu Oubaali na COVID-19.

„To główne wydarzenie w grudniu 12 zmierzy się ze sobą dwoma najbardziej ekscytującymi, rozwijającymi się talentami dywizji 130-funtowej, gdy znakomicie utalentowany Chris Colbert mierzy się z potężnym Jaime'em Arboledą w nie do przegapienia pojedynku,- powiedział Tom Brown, Prezes TGB Promocje. „W głównym turnieju dwóch zawodników wagi średniej, Matt Korobov i Ronald Ellis, będzie chciało pokazać, że należą do elity ligi, podczas gdy otwieracz SHOWTIME przedstawia ekscytującą perspektywę Richardsona Hitchinsa przeciwko zawsze twardemu Argenisowi Mendezowi w wielkiej walce. To są trzy równo dobrane ataki, które powinny być nieprzerwanym dramatem podczas nocy walki ”.

Reprezentuje swój rodzinny Brooklyn, N. Y., Colbert (14-0, 5 KO) szybko podskoczył w rankingu 130 funtów, biorąc udział w rywalizacji na wysokim poziomie w swoim pierwszym 14 pro walki. 24-latek pokonał niepokonanego wówczas wojownika Austina Dulaya, Titus Williams i Antonio Dubose, wszystko w swoich pierwszych ośmiu walkach jako zawodowiec. W 2019, Colbert dodał do swojego wyniku cztery kolejne zwycięstwa, w tym wybuchowy nokaut w pierwszej rundzie weterana Miguela Beltrana Jr. Ostatnio, Colbert zdobył swój tymczasowy tytuł, rezygnując z byłego mistrza wagi super piórkowej Jezreela Corralesa w drodze do jednogłośnej decyzji w styczniu 2020 starcie.

„Jestem bardzo podekscytowany, że będę mógł zadebiutować na dużej scenie w głównym turnieju,- powiedział Colbert. „To był długi obóz, ale szkolenie idzie świetnie. Chcę uzyskać dominujący występ, i szukam nokautu, jeśli tam jest. Jeśli to dostanę, byłoby wspaniale. Wiem, że Jaime przyjdzie walczyć. On chce paska tak samo, jak ja chcę go zatrzymać. Wszystko sprowadza się do wytrzymałości, ring IQ i kto ma większą wolę wygranej. Czuję, że jestem facetem do tej pracy. Nie ma mowy, bym zrezygnował z pasa w mojej pierwszej obronie ”.

26-letnia Arboleda (16-1, 13 KO) zgromadził imponującą passę sześciu zwycięstw w pojedynku z Colbertem, a pięć z tych zwycięstw miało miejsce w oddali. Urodzony w Curundu, Panama, a teraz walczy z Miami, Fla.

“Marzeniem każdego boksera jest walka o tytuł i zwycięstwo bez żadnych wątpliwości,”Powiedział Arboleda. „Taki jest mój plan na grudzień 12. Mam najlepsze przygotowanie w całej mojej karierze. Czuję się świetnie, mocny i szybki jak nigdy dotąd. Jestem pewien, że będzie to bardzo ekscytująca walka już od pierwszej rundy ”.

Korobov (28-3-1, 14 KO) wraca do akcji po stracie grudnia 2019 starcie z Chrisem Eubank Jr. kiedy doznał kontuzji barku, która zmusiła walkę do zakończenia w drugiej rundzie. Korobov, który naciął 300 wygrywa jako odznaczony amator, wszedł w tę walkę o remis większościowy przeciwko Immanuwel Aleem, po zawiadomieniu w wadze średniej, że będzie zagrożeniem, gdy w grudniu przegra z trudną decyzją z niepokonanym mistrzem wagi średniej Jermallem Charlo. Urodzony w Orotukan, Rosja, a obecnie mieszka w St.. Petersburg, Fla, Korobov był spóźnionym zastępcą i dał Charlo ostrzejszą walkę, niż spodziewało się wielu ekspertów. Korobov miał passę czterech zwycięstw przed walką z Charlo, po swojej pierwszej porażce zawodowej z Andym Lee w a 2014 walka o tytuł wagi średniej.

“Nie mogę się doczekać powrotu na wydarzenie PBC w SHOWTIME 12 grudnia,” powiedział Korobov. “Mam trudnego przeciwnika, ale spodziewam się wygrać i udowodnić, że wróciłem i jestem jeszcze lepiej przygotowany. Muszę wygrać z Ellisem, aby Jermall Charlo wrócił na ring. Oczywiście, Myślę, że pokonałem Charlo, ale to już przeszłość. Ellis jest w mojej przyszłości, i idę pokazać, że wciąż jestem jedną z najlepszych zawodniczek wagi średniej na świecie.”

31-letni Ellis (17-1-2, 11 KO) będzie chciał wykorzystać swoją ostatnią wycieczkę, co sprawiło, że pokonał rywala Immanuwela Aleema decyzją większości w grudniu 2019. Dla Ellisa, ta walka przywróciła go do kolumny zwycięstw po pierwszej porażce w karierze, decyzja większości przeciwko DeAndre Ware w marcu 2019. Lynn, Pochodzący z Mass. Jest starszy brat Rashidi Ellis w wadze półśredniej, i miał imponującą karierę amatorską, w tym 2010 Mistrzostwa kraju w Złotych Rękawicach zwieńczyło zwycięstwo nad Terrell Gausha.

“Czas się pokazać 12 grudnia,” powiedział Ellis. “Korobov miał swoją szansę w starciu z czołowymi zawodnikami wagi średniej, a teraz nadszedł mój czas, aby skorzystać z tej okazji i wygrać z nim, aby osiągnąć ten poziom. Ciężko pracujemy w San Diego, sparingując z Canelo Alvarezem, żeby wszystko było idealne i dawałem z siebie wszystko w nocy walki.”

Pochodzi z Brooklynu, Hitchins (11-0, 5 KO) Kariera zawodowa w 2017 po reprezentowaniu Haiti na 2016 Igrzyska Olimpijskie. 23-latek wykazał się imponującymi umiejętnościami, pobierając niepokonany rekord w szeregach zawodowych, co jest owocem szerokiej kariery amatorskiej. Hitchins odniósł cztery zwycięstwa w 2019, przed debiutem w 2020 decyzją zwycięstwa nad Nicholasem DeLombą. W swoich pierwszych dwóch 10-rundowych walkach jako zawodowiec, południowa łapa zdobyła decydujące jednogłośne decyzje.

„Nie przeoczę żadnego przeciwnika, ale uważam, że mam lepszy i ostrzejszy zestaw umiejętności niż Mendez,- powiedział Hitchins. „Mam wszystkie wartości niematerialne, aby zostać mistrzem świata. Często jest to mylone z zarozumiałością, ale tak naprawdę to ja wierzę w siebie bardziej niż ktokolwiek inny. Potraktuję tę walkę poważnie, tak jak każdą inną walkę i nadal będę robić to, co robię, aby zbliżyć się o krok do tytułu. Przebywanie w obozie z Floydem Mayweatherem i Gervontą Davis, Wiele się nauczyłem. Czuję, że muszę pokonać konkurencję. Naprawdę popchnęli mnie, abym był lepszym wojownikiem ”.

Były mistrz wagi super piórkowej, Mendez (25-5-3, 12 KO) ma reputację dostarczającego twardych wyzwań najlepszym sportowcom i okazał się wytrzymałym zawodnikiem waży 140 funtów. W 2019, Mendez walczył jeden po drugim z super lekkimi zawodnikami, najpierw z Anthonym Petersonem w marcu, a potem z niepokonanym Juanem Heraldezem w maju. Urodzony w San Juan de La Maguana, Dominikana, Mendez teraz walczy z Yonkers, N. Y.. i jest właścicielem zwycięstw nad Eddiem Ramirezem, Ivan Redkach i były tytalista Miguel Vazquez. Stał też twarzą w twarz z byłymi mistrzami Rances Barthelemy i Robertem Easter Jr.

„Stoję przed młodym kandydatem, który jest głodny sukcesu, ale jestem dziś bardziej głodny niż kiedykolwiek w mojej karierze i mam doświadczenie, by się z tym pogodzić,- powiedział Mendez. „Jestem też niezwykle zmotywowany do tej walki, co nie jest dobrą wiadomością dla Hitchinsa. Kiedy nadejdzie czas walki w grudniu 12, będziesz świadkiem inteligentnego, ale bardziej agresywnego Argenisa Mendeza ”.

BROOKLYN (Maj 19, 2019) – Mistrz świata wagi ciężkiej federacji WBC Deontay “Brązowy Bombowiec” Wilder delivered the 40th knockout of his career in devastating fashion Saturday night, sending mandatory challenger Dominic “Kłopot” Breazealeflat on his back with a trademark right hand in front of a raucous crowd at Barclays Center, dom Brooklyn BOXING ™, w wydarzeniu prezentowanym przez Premier Boxing Champions. Successfully defending his belt for the ninth time, Wilder joins illustrious company alongside Hall of Famers Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and more and becomes the 10th fighter in history to make nine or more consecutive successful heavyweight title defenses. Watch HERE: https://s.sho.com/2Hp0AEh

In the buildup to tonight’s world championship bout, Wilder (41-0-1, 40 KO) repeatedly promised that the fight would not last long. The towering Tuscaloosa, Ala. native kept his word, scoring the 20th first round knockout of his career and his 15th knockdown as heavyweight world champion. Breazeale (20-2, 18 KO) was able to withstand Wilder’s first early onslaught, but could not beat referee Harvey Dock’s 10-count when Wilder connected flush with the most dangerous right hand in boxing later in the opening round.

Everything just came out of me tonight”, Said Wilder. “I know it’s been a big buildup, there’s been a lot of animosity and a lot of words that were said and it just came out of me tonight. That’s what makes boxing so great.

I just told Breazeale I love him and of course I want to see him go home to his family. I know we say some things, 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,” Said 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,” Said 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.

W ko-feature, Mistrz świata federacji WBC piórkowej Gary Russell Jr. (30-1, 18 KO) put on yet another professional display to defend his belt for the fourth time against a valiant Kiko Martinez (39-9-2, 28 KO). 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% z jego ciosów mocy. 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,” powiedział: 2008 Patenty USA. 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 piórkowej Champion] 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.

W otwieracza transmitowane, niepokonanego Juan Heraldez (16-0-1, 10 KO) i były mistrz świata Argenis Mendez (25-5-2, 12 KO) fought to a highly competitive majority draw. Two judges scored the fight 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 Rundy. 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’ karty wyników. Without doing so, Mendez would have lost the fight.


“Myślałem, że wygrał walkę,” 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, Bede gotowy. 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.

Podobnie, 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 KO) i Iago Kiladze (26-4-1, 18 KO) 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 dla Kiladze, with the third judge scoring it 76-76, resulting in the draw.

Also entering the ring was 2016 Patenty USA. Olimpijczyk Gary Antuanne Russell (9-0, 9 KO), the younger brother of the featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr., który spadłMarcos Mojica (16-4-2, 12 KO) twice to earn a stoppage 2:13 w trzeciej rundzie. Rounding out the action was Brooklyn-native and 2016 Haiti olimpijczyk Richardson Hitchins (9-0, 5 KO), who scored a TKO of Alejandro Munera (4-2-3, 4 KO) 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. On może mówić, co chce. It’s going to be a great fight for as long as it lasts. I’m going to bring the pain. Sobotnia noc, everyone is in for a treat.

DOMINIC Breazeale

“Jestem bardzo podekscytowany, do tej walki. 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. Kiedy skończę z nim, 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. Olimpijscy. 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. I’m going to make the most of it.

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

“Jestem bardzo podekscytowany na tę okazję. 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.

“To będzie dobra walka. 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 12th 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, CEO BSE Globalna

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


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

Sobota, Maj 18 Against Top Contender Dominic Breazeale Live on SHOWTIME® z Barclays Center na Brooklynie & Przedstawione przez
Premier Boxing Mistrzów

BROOKLYN (Maj 8, 2019) – When WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay “Brązowy Bombowiec” Wilder defends his title against mandatory challenger Dominic “Kłopot” Breazeale w sobotę, Maj 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, dom Brooklyn BOXING ™, 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,” Said 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,” Said 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 10th 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 reignTommy Burns, Joe Louis, Joe Frazier, Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Vitali Klitschko and future Hall of Famer Wladimir Klitschko. *Uwaga: number of title defenses listed below


Fighters like Jack Johnson, Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and more have paved the way for me,” Said 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. W 2018 he was ranked 34 on ESPN’sWorld Fame 100list, 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,” Said 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 (nine)
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.) Witalij Kliczko (11 in second run)
9.) Władimir Kliczko (18 in second run)

JUAN HERALDEZ TRAINING CAMP QUOTES & ZDJĘCIA


I have to outclass him and make him not even want to fight anymore. I’m going to make him retire,” – Heraldez

LAS VEGAS (Maj 2, 2019) – Unbeaten super lightweight contender Juan Heraldez is looking to make a statement when he takes on former world champion Argenis Mendezin a 10-round showdown Saturday, Maj 18 żyć na SHOWTIME z Barclays Center, dom Brooklyn BOXING ™, i przedstawił Premier Boxing Champions.

I have to outclass him and make him not even want to fight anymore,” said 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,” said 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,” said 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, I’m taking it,” said 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.

Tickets for this BombZquad event can be purchased at ticketmaster.comibarclayscenter.com. Tickets also can be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center.

The 30-year-old Russell (29-1, 17 KO), who was born in Washington, D.C.. and now lives in Capitol Heights, Maryland, will make the fourth defense of his featherweight world title on May 18 and his second career appearance at Barclays Center. Russell won his title by knocking out Jhonny Gonzalez in 2015. After stopping Patrick Hyland and Oscar Escandon, he most recently defeated previously unbeaten Joseph Diaz Jr. last May. Russell, who is trained by his father, Gary, Sr., is part of a boxing family. Two of his younger brothers, Gary Antonio and Gary Antuanne, are currently unbeaten professionals.
 
I expect to send a message to everyone in or near my division that I’m a force to be reckoned with,” said Russell. “I want to unify against Leo Santa Cruz and I’m going to do what I have to do to get there. I’m never going to take any opponent lightly and right now, it’s my job to take care of Kiko Martinez before I worry about anything else. May 18 you should expect to see excitement, Moc wykrawania, Prędkość rękę, fast combinations and a great level of boxing IQ. I’m the best in boxing today and I prove that every time I get in the ring.
 
A native of Comunidad Valenciana, Hiszpania, Martinez (39-8-2, 28 KO) has faced the best names in and around the featherweight division throughout his career. He won a super bantamweight world title in 2013 by stopping Jhonatan Romero and has faced the likes of Leo Santa Cruz, Carl Frampton, Josh Warrington and Scott Quigg. The 33-year-old is unbeaten in his last four contests, including most recently defeating Marc Vidal for a European featherweight title in October.
 
I’ve been waiting for this opportunity to win another world title and I’m thankful and excited for May 18,” Said Martinez. “Gary Russell Jr is in for a rude awakening. I have a lot of experience and I feel great at featherweight. There will be nothing better than celebrating my 50th fight with a new world title.
 
The undefeated Heraldez(16-0, 10 KO) continued to rise up the rankings in 2019 when he knocked out Eddie Ramirez in their February showdown. The 28-year-old from Las Vegas earned a decision victory over Kevin Watts and a stoppage of Maynard Allison in 2018. That followed up a unanimous decision victory over then unbeaten prospect Jose Miguel Borrego in his first 10-round bout in August 2017 on the Mayweather vs. McGregor undercard.
 
I’m one of the best super lightweights in the world and I’m going to show it again on May 18,said Heraldez. “They keep lining them up and I’ll keep knocking them down. Mendez is good, veteran opposition, but I’m going to show I’m on a different level. This is a great opportunity to once again perform on a big stage and I’m going to take full advantage and steal the show.
 
Mendez (25-5-2, 12 KO) most recently fought to a competitive split-draw against Anthony Peterson in March, running his unbeaten streak up to three fights. The 32-year-old defeated Eddie Ramirez and Ivan Redkach in back-to-back fights after losses to Robert Easter Jr. and Luke Campbell. Originally from San Juan de la Maguana, Dominican Republic and now living in Brooklyn, N. Y., Mendez won the IBF super featherweight title with a knockout victory over Juan Carlos Salgado in 2013.
 
This fight is do or die for me to become champion again,” said Mendez. “Anthony Peterson ran from me in our fight in March, so if Heraldez does that on May 18, I will be better prepared. If he stands and fights with me, I feel strongly that I will dominate him and make a statement to everyone that I’m an elite 140-pound fighter.

Former World Title Challenger Oscar Escandon Clashes with Unbeaten 126-pound Contender Tugstsogt Nyambayar in

Co-Main Event

Bilety już w sprzedaży!

 

BILOXI, MISSISSIPPI (Maj 8, 2018) – Once-beaten contender Eddie Ramirez odbędzie się na byłego mistrza świata Argenis Mendez in a 10-round super lightweight showdown that headlines Premier Boxing Mistrzów na FS1 and FOX Deportes Sobota, Maj 26 from Beau Rivage Resort and Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi.

 

 

Zasięg zaczyna się w telewizji 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and will also feature former title challenger Oscar Escandon meeting unbeaten 2012 Srebrny medalista olimpijski Tugstsogt Nyambayar w 10 rundzie pojedynku piórkowej.

 

 

Bilety na wydarzenia na żywo, która jest promowana przez TGB Promocje, zaczynają się $20 and are on sale now at the Beau Rivage Theatre box office, w www.ticketmaster.com lub dzwoniąc Ticketmaster na (800) 745-3000.

 

 

This is a fantastic card for true boxing fans, because it has all the elements that make the sport great,” powiedział Tom Brown, Prezes TGB Promocje. “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 KO) 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 KO) is coming off a split decision victory over Ivan Redkach last May on FS1 and FOX Deportes. Dzięki wygranej, the fighter out of the Dominican Republic rebounded from back-to-back losses to lightweight champion Robert Easter, Jr. and Luke Campbell. Członkiem 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,” said 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 KO) is trying to climb back into the featherweight title picture after losing by TKO to world champion Gary Russell, Jr. in his last fight on May 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 KO) 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,”

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 Nokaut Roku.

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,” Said Garcia, who recorded the 20th knockout of his career. “He’s a good inside fighter and he was giving me some good uppercuts. Czułem się dobrze, it was a good nine rounds. Przyszedł do walki. I came to box, I did that. I came to bang, and I gave the fans what they wanteda 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.
Po walce, 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 said. “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.
Po walce, Rios (34-4-1, 24 KO) was frustrated with the stoppage and promised to return.
I’m mad. 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.

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 thoughhe’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.
