SHOWTIME SPORTS® TO LIVE STREAM THE LONG-AWAITED RETURN OF FORMER HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION TYSON FURY ON SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS
Fury To Face Sefer Seferi; Terry Flanagan To Face Maurice Hooker For Vacant 140-Pound World Title
Sabado, Hunyo 9 Live on SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel and SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook Page
NEW YORK (Hunyo 4, 2018) – SHOWTIME Sports has secured the U.S. rights to stream the long-awaited return of former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, nga-atubang Sefer Seferi in a 10-round heavyweight bout Saturday, Hunyo 9 from Manchester Arena. Showtime Boxing INTERNATIONAL® will stream live exclusively to U.S. audiences on the SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook page and SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel beginning at 4:30 sa gabii. UG/1:30 sa gabii. PT.
Sa pag-abli bout, lokal nga bayani Terry Flanagan (33-0, 13 KO ni) will look to become a two-division world champion when he clashes with unbeaten American Maurice Hooker (23-0-3, 16 KO ni) for the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight crown. This will be the fourth live streaming boxing event this year on SHOWTIME Sports social media platforms.
Live coverage for the Frank Warren promoted event will be provided by BT Sport and BoxNation with U.K. mga sportscasters John Rawling providing the blow-by-blow and Richie Woodhall the analysis. Boxing broadcaster Ray Flores ug analista Chris Mannix will deliver pre-fight and post-fight analysis from Staples Center in Los Angeles for the SHOWTIME Sports audience.
The live stream of Fury vs. Seferi will precede that evening’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® doubleheader that features WBA Featherweight World Champion Leo Santa Cruz in a rematch against fellow three-division world champion Abner Mares live on SHOWTIME (10 sa gabii. ET / PT, delayed in the West Coast) from Staples Center. Sa co-bahin, Jermell Charlo will face Austin Trout for the WBC Super Welterweight World Championship.
Kasuko (25-0, 18 KOs), a former WBA, WBO and IBF Heavyweight World Champion will end a two-years-and-seven-months exile from the sport on June 9. Fury has been inactive since outpointing Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf in November 2015 tungod sa usa ka kadaotan, personal problems and a doping ban.
“I’m the fittest I’ve ever been,” ni Fury, who has teamed up with new trainer Ben Davison. “Timing, reflexes, everything is better than it’s ever been. I kid you not. Ako 29 ka tuig ang panuigon, coming into the prime of my life, I’m stronger and faster, holding more muscle mass than ever. I’m more confident looking at the competition.”
Albania’s Seferi (23-1, 21 KOs) is a 39-year-old Switzerland-based cruiserweight who is stepping up in weight and opposition when he faces the 6-foot-9 Fury. Seferi’s sole loss came in 2016 in a heavyweight bout against now-secondary WBA heavyweight champ Manuel Charr.
“This is going to be a hard fight for Fury,” said Seferi. “Two-and-a-half years out of the ring is a long time and nobody knows if he is still the same fighter that dethroned Wladimir Klitschko.”
Flanagan, the first Englishman to earn a lightweight world title, will seek to capture a title in a second weight class just days away from his 29th adlaw nga natawhan. Hooker, a southpaw from Dallas, Texas and ShoBox alum, has been training with Terence Crawford. Hooker will look to follow in the footsteps of fellow Dallas resident Errol Spence Jr., who went to Kell Brook’s hometown of Sheffield, England to capture his first world championship.

\Gidepensahan ni Super Bantamweight World Champion Daniel Roman ang titulo Batok sa wala’y pilde nga si Moises Flores Sabado, Hunyo 16 Live sa SHOWTIME® gikan sa Ford Center sa The Star
|
|
FRISCO, TEXAS (Hunyo 4, 2018) – Super bantamweight world champion Daniel Romano modepensa sa iyang bakos batok sa walay pilde Moises “Chucky” Bulak Sabado, Hunyo 16 live sa SHOWTIME gikan sa Ford Center sa The Star sa Frisco, Texas sa usa ka kalihokan nga gipresentar sa Premier Boxing Champions.
Makita usab sa maong kalihukan ang kanhi world champion Javier Fortuna nakig-away sa Adrian Granados sa usa ka 10-round 140-pound nga espesyal nga atraksyon nga nagsugod sa SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® telecast sa 9 sa gabii. ET / 6 hapon. PT.
Wala’y pilde nga welterweight champion Errol “Ang Kamatuoran” Spence, Jr. modepensa sa iyang IBF world title sa Dallas-area homecoming sa pasilidad sa Dallas Cowboys batok sa walay pildeng mandatory challenger nga si Carlos Ocampo sa main event. Kini maoy unang boxing event sulod sa Ford Center ug sa unang away ni Spence isip world champion.
Ang mga tiket alang sa maong kalihokan, nga gipasiugdahan sa TGB Promotions kauban ang Man Down Promotions, anaa sa sale karon ug mahimo nga mapalit sa www.SeatGeek.com.
“Kini nag-umol nga usa ka talagsaon nga kard uban ang pagdugang sa 122-pound championship fight tali ni Daniel Roman ug Moises Flores ug kanhi kampeon nga si Javier Fortuna nga nakigsangka kang Adrian Granados sa 140-pound nga espesyal nga atraksyon,” miingon si Tom Brown, Presidente sa TGB Promotions. “Walay usa niini nga mga boksidor nga adunay reverse sa ilang gear box, nga nagsaad sa makalingaw nga mga away alang sa mga fans sa The Star ug sa mga nagtan-aw sa balay sa SHOWTIME.”
Ang 27-anyos nga si Roman (24-2-1, 9 KOs) mohimo sa iyang ikaduhang title defense sa WBA 122-pound championship nga iyang nadaog pinaagi sa TKO nga kadaugan batok kang Shun Kubo niadtong Septiyembre sa Japan.. Ang 28-anyos, sa Los Angeles, Calif., mibalik sa Japan ug mihimo sa iyang unang title defense pinaagi sa unanimous decision nga kadaugan batok kang Ryo Matsumoto karong Pebrero. Misulod si Roman niini nga sangka nga nakadaog og 16 ka sunodsunod nga away.
“Nahibal-an sa tanan nga gusto nako nga makig-away sa labing maayo ug si Flores naa sa taas,” matud ni Roman. “Wala siyay pilde tungod sa usa ka rason ug siya ang numero unong challenger sa akong titulo. Ako dili sa pagkuha sa kaniya sa lightly. Nadasig ko nga mahimong dako. Mas naka-focus ko karon kaysa kaniadto. Dili ko tugotan si Flores, o bisan kinsa nga mokuha sa akong bakus. Simple ra ang plano. Pilia siya sa matag hugna sama sa akong nahimo sa akong uban pang mga world title fights.”
Bulak (25-0, 17 KOs), sa Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, mibalik sa ring human sa no contest batok ni Guillermo Rigondeaux sa away nga nakit-an nga naigo ug na- knockout si Flores pinaagi sa usa ka shot nga sa sinugdan gitawag nga legal, apan sa kadugayan gimandoan nga moabut human sa kampana, mao nga hinungdan sa no contest. Ang 31-anyos nga nakaiskor og impresibong kadaugan pinaagi sa desisyon nga kadaugan batok kang Oscar Escandon sa 2015 nga nakahatag kaniya og interim 122-pound nga titulo ug gisundan kini og mga kadaugan batok sa kanhi napildi nga mga manggugubat nga sila si Luis Emanuel Cusolito ug Paulus Ambunda.
“Paawayon nako si Daniel Roman kada round hangtod sa katapusan,” matud ni Flores. “Siya usa ka maayo nga boksingero ug usa ka counter puncher, pero warrior ko mao nga andam ko sa bisan unsa nga iyang dad-on. Kung dili siya makapugong sa akong gahum, unya sayo pa siya manaog. Kini usa ka kinahanglan nga kadaugan ug ako determinado nga mahimong usa ka world champion sa Hunyo 16.”
Swerte (33-2-1, 23 KOs) nakadaog sa super featherweight title pinaagi sa unanimous decision batok kang Bryan Vasquez sa 2015 ug mosulod niini nga away nga nagtinguha nga makabangon gikan sa split-decision nga kapildihan ngadto sa lightweight champion nga si Robert Easter, Jr. sa Enero sa SHOWTIME. Ang 28-anyos nga si Fortuna, La Romana, Dominican Republic, napakyas sa paghimo og gibug-aton alang sa Easter fight ug karon maninguha sa paghagit sa 140-pound division.
“Nahibal-an ko nga si Adrian Granados usa ka manggugubat, apan kini nga away naguba sa akong pabor tungod kay ako ang labing maayo nga manggugubat,” miingon Fortuna. “Girespeto ko ang Granados’ style ug kabalo ko nga daghan siyag surpresa sa iyang kalig-on sa ring. Andam na ko nga i-out-box siya sa fight night. Wa sab ko mabalaka bahin sa pagsaka sa timbang kay sa higayon nga makatungtong na kami sa ring, Ako mahimong mas dako nga tawo.”
Ang 28-anyos nga Granados (18-6-2, 12 KOs) nakaangkon og reputasyon isip usa ka boksidor nga andam mudawat sa tanang mga hagit ug usa nga kanunay nagduso sa iyang mga kaatbang sa ngilit. Nakig-away gikan sa Chicago, nagtan-aw siya nga makabalik sa kadaugan nga adunay kadaugan batok sa Fortuna. Sa miaging tuig si Granados napildi sa unanimous decision kang kanhi welterweight champion Shawn Porter ug split-decision kay four-division champion Adrien Broner. Sa wala pa ang duha ka pildi, Ang Granados naghiusa sa lima ka sunodsunod nga kadaugan nga naglakip sa TKO nga kadaugan batok kang Amir Imam.
“Si Javier Fortuna kay malimbungon nga southpaw, apan ako mahimong mas lig-on ug mas maayo kaysa kaniadto balik sa 140 ka libra,” matud ni Granados. “Gibati nako nga mahimo nakong matumba ang bisan kinsa sa kini nga gibug-aton. Human nako gikulata si Amir Imam, ang tanan nagduko kanako niining klase sa timbang. Mohimo ako usa ka pahayag bahin sa kung diin ako nahisakop sa boksing ug hatagan ang mga fans usa ka maayo nga pasundayag sama sa kanunay nakong gibuhat.”

Calderon to Face Crosstown Rival Martinez at Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. sa Biyernes, Hulyo 6
|
Sa Biyernes, Hulyo 6, 2018, Heavyweight Factory Boxing promoter Kris Lawrence will continue his “Greatest Dark Series” in all of boxing with “Hometown Throwdown,” a night of world-class professional boxing highlighting 10 mga kinatumyan.
Taking place at Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., the night’s main event will feature a 10-round crosstown rivalry showdown between undefeated Miami-based welterweights Harold “King” Calderon (16-0, 10 KOs) and John David “Pretty Boy” Martinez (10-0, 8 KOs). The pair have decided Miami isn’t big enough for two undefeated 147-lb. fighters and one of them will lose their “0” that night.
The co-main event will be the 10-round rubber match of an entertaining three-fight series between veteran Florida middleweights Joey “Twinkle Fingers” Hernandez (26-4-1, 16 KOs) and Ed “The Lion” Paredes (38-7-1, 25 KOs). Also featured in a showcase bout that night will be 19-year-old Hawaiian WBO-NABO Youth Super Lightweight Champion and WBO #13-rated contender Logan “The Korican Kid” Yoon (11-0, 11 KOs), who will face an opponent TBA.
Tickets for “Hometown Throwdown” cost $60, $100, $150, $250 ug $500 VIP. Tickets are available through ticketmaster.com.
Thirty-year-old Calderon is a popular slugger of Honduran heritage. He enjoys a friendship with Miami Dolphins linebacker Kiko Alonso and has already been featured in several main events. The powerful southpaw was last seen in March, stopping veteran Ronald Montes in three impressive rounds.
Also a fan favorite, 29-year-old Martinez was 14-2 ingon nga usa ka amateur, and won the 2009 Golden Gloves and Florida PAL Championships. In addition to fighting, Martinez is a successful entrepreneur. He trains at the world-famous 5th Street Gym under Dino Spencer. He was last seen in April stopping Felix Sandoval in two rounds at Casa de los Clubes in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Hernandez vs. Paredes will be third meeting between the two fighters. They fought to a thrilling split draw in August 2009 and then again, on ESPN in February 2010 when Paredes scored a shocking KO 2 “Knockout of the Year” contender over Hernandez. It was southpaw Hernandez’s first career loss. The two fighters are not fans of each other. Their first two fights featured dirty tactics and body slams. They have also had to be separated at previous weigh-ins.
Nineteen-year-old Yoon, from Honolulu, won the WBO-NABO Youth Super Lightweight Championship by impressively battering Mexican former two-time world champion Juan Carlos Salgado over 10 rounds last March.
Expected special guests that evening include Heavyweight Factory regulars, former heavyweight champions Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe and Evander “The Real Deal” Holyfield. Sa away sa gabii, the action starts at 7:15 sa gabii. Doors open one hour prior to start time. Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is located at 1 Seminole Way sa Hollywood, Fla.

Jermell Charlo Los Angeles Media Workout Quotes & Litrato
|
LOS ANGELES (Mayo 31, 2018) – Unbeaten super welterweight world champion Jermell Charlo has arrived in Los Angeles ahead of his upcoming showdown Saturday, Hunyo 9 live on SHOWTIME against former champion Austin Trout as part of action from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast beings at 10 sa gabii. ET/PT and is headlined by the featherweight world championship rematch between Leo Santa Cruz ug Abner Mares.
Ang mga tiket alang sa live event, nga gipasiugdahan sa Ringstar Sports ug TGB Promotions, begin at $50, plus magamit fees, ug sa sale karon. To purchase tickets visit AXS.com or click HERE.
With just over a week to go until fight night, Charlo conducted a media workout with Los Angeles-area press Thursday at Gloveworx boxing gym in Century City.
Here is what Charlo and his trainer, Derrick Santiago, had to say Thursday:
JERMELL Charlo
“Ako andam sa pag-adto. I’m well-prepared. I’ve been in training camp for about 10 weeks. When you guys saw me before, I wasn’t this built but now I’m ready and I’m excited. I can take on any man in this division.
“Pagbansay sa kampo mao ang dako nga. We had world champion Errol Spence Jr. in camp and a bunch of undefeated fighters. I stopped a few, dropped a few, but that’s not the name of the game. It’s all about training and getting the work done to be prepared for June 9.
“Trout is a veteran fighter but I don’t believe he’s going to stand in the pocket and try to fight me. I don’t think there’s a single fighter in this weight division that would try to do that, not even [Jarrett] Hurd. If Trout does try that, the night will end fast.
“I’m definitely growing as a fighter and growing as a man. If Trout wants to bang, let’s bang. I don’t care what Barry Hunter has or what he does, it’s not going to be able to beat me and Derrick James. I don’t necessarily think Trout is as tough as me so if he can’t put up the skills and match my ability, he won’t beat me that night.
“The Lara-Hurd fight was a great fight. Hurd did what he had to do but I’m a completely different fighter from Erislandy Lara. I’m not here to waste punches. I’m not saying Lara didn’t do a great job but I do believe that his conditioning wasn’t there. I’ve focused my whole life on training. I’m single, I don’t have a family that I have to focus on like some of these other guys. It’s all boxing.
“This is a doubleheader. I’m not a co-main event or a featured star bout. I did that years ago. How many people leave after I fight? Everybody left after the [Erickson] Lubin fight. I’m going to continue to do what I do. I definitely want to headline for you guys and do it here at STAPLES Center and possibly in Brooklyn. I prefer L.A. bisan, it’s all nice people and palm trees. They don’t have that in New York.
“I have a great team behind me that won’t allow me to get distracted by the bright lights of L.A. I don’t believe that it’s in my mind to worry about anything outside of the ring. My objective is to win Saturday night and then I can get out of the ring and have a great time with my brother.
“I’m trying to come in and change some things about boxing. I believe I can make it happen. I think every boxer should have their own media day. [Lion] Santa Cruz had his own media day. Abner [Ang mga inahan] had his own media day. I had my own media day. If we can continue that task as fighters, I think it will bring a much bigger audience to boxing.
“I don’t think that whenever the WBC reaches out about a fight that they’re doing it just to play around. This sport is serious. We would love to be a part of a GGG fight. We’re tired of hearing the media say to put the Charlos in there with better competition. I’ve heard that every fight. As long as I’m winning fights and I’m entertaining the fans, that’s what I’m going to do.
“I think I could definitely fight at 168. I might just keep growing through the weight divisions. It’s easy.
“I was super excited about the video that came out today with Gizzle. It was astounding to me to see an artist come out and produce a song like that about the Charlos and it was even better with the video of the knockouts that me and my brother have.
“My fight is won in the gym. I definitely dedicate myself every time I go into a training camp and I spend thousands of dollars on my body and on my training. I sacrifice the fun of being in L.A. to train and be in the best condition possible to fight.”
Derrick SANTIAGO, Charlo ni Trainer
“[Jermell] sparred with Errol [Spence] yesterday and he looked phenomenal. He feels great. I think he and Errol are really similar in their level of fighting. At this point he makes weight pretty easily, he’s doing well and I know he wants to unify. Busa, until that happens I see no reason for him to go up in weight. Karon, with Austin Trout we’re facing a physical fighter and a physical threat to everybody. With him it could be an easier fight or it can be a hard fight. As we know Jermell is a phenomenal fighter who’s very skilled so I’m not thinking about they’re what doing. [Jermell] might be but I’m not.
“Austin Trout is a great guy and he’s a great boxer. Even at an older age, his skill set is so good. If you think about Floyd [Mayweather], even at an older age he was beating everyone he was fighting. Busa, the way I look at it is that he is going to come back hungrier and he’s looking at this as getting an opportunity to get a new fight.
“I always go in thinking it’s going to be a tough fight. I can’t go in there thinking of it in any other way. If I was thinking it would be easy, I’d be an idiot and I wouldn’t be here now. I have to keep pushing myself to be better and these guys will be ready for a tough fight.
“Jermell is always pushing to do more and do it better. He’s always looking to go further than training. If I tell him to do something he does it and learns from it. He’s a great student. I think he has a lot of heart and a lot of desire, and you will see that come out on June 9th.”

Rounding out the night are unbeaten Oak Hills, Calif. paglaom Jerry Perez taking on Louisiana’s Josh Ross in junior lightweight action, walay pildeng Arnold Alejandro in a four lightweight matchup, undefeated Angel Alejandro in four rounds of featherweight action, and Ukraine’s Viktor Slavinski in a junior lightweight matchup against Texas-native Carlos Trevino.
Ang 22-anyos Balderas (4-0, 3 KOs), a first-generation Mexican-American, competed on the U.S. Olympic boxing team in the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil before turning pro in April 2017. Representing Santa Maria, Calif., Balderas scored stoppages in his first three fights before earning a shutout unanimous decision over Jorge Rojas Zacazontetl in February. He will take on the 26-year-old Lopez (7-3-1, 3 KOs) who fights out of Tijuana, Mexico and scored a knockout over Dario Medina in his last outing.
Originally from Ukraine but fighting out of Los Angeles, REDK (20-4-1, 16 KOs) was in one of the most exciting short fights of 2017 when he engaged in a back-and-forth bout against John Molina Jr. that contained the drama of most 12 round fights condensed into just four. Redkach was able to drop Molina early before succumbing to the veteran and the 32-year-old will look to bounce back against the Los Angeles-native Jones (14-8, 8 KOs), who’s last four wins have all come by stoppage.
