EDMONTON, Canada (
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
Zaterdag, Juni 9 Live on SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel and SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook Page
NEW YORK (Juni 4, 2018) – SHOWTIME Sports has secured the U.S. rights to stream the long-awaited return of former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, die zal worden geconfronteerd Sefer Seferi in a 10-round heavyweight bout Saturday, Juni 9 van 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 p.m. EN/1:30 p.m. PT.
In de opening aanval, lokale held Terry Flanagan (33-0, 13 KO's) will look to become a two-division world champion when he clashes with unbeaten American Maurice Hooker (23-0-3, 16 KO's) 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. sportscasters John Rawling providing the blow-by-blow and Richie Woodhall the analysis. Boxing broadcaster Ray Flores en analist 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 p.m. ET / PT, vertraagd aan de westkust) from Staples Center. In de co-functie, Jermell Charlo will face Austin Trout for the WBC Super Welterweight World Championship.
Woede (25-0, 18 KO), 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 due to an injury, personal problems and a doping ban.
“I’m the fittest I’ve ever been,” said Fury, who has teamed up with new trainer Ben Davison. “Timing, reflexes, everything is better than it’s ever been. I kid you not. Ik ben 29 jaar oud, 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 KO) 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 verjaardag. Hoer, 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.

\Wereldkampioen superbantamgewicht Daniel Roman verdedigt zaterdag de titel tegen de ongeslagen Moises Flores, Juni 16 Live op SHOWTIME® vanuit Ford Center in The Star
|
|
FRISCO, TEXAS (Juni 4, 2018) – Wereldkampioen superbantamgewicht Daniel Roman zal zijn titel verdedigen tegen ongeslagen Moises “Chucky” Bloemen Zaterdag, Juni 16 live op SHOWTIME vanuit Ford Center in The Star in Frisco, Texas in een evenement gepresenteerd door Premier Boxing Champions.
Tijdens het evenement zal ook voormalig wereldkampioen aanwezig zijn Javier Fortuna botsen met Adrian Granados in een speciale attractie van 10 ronden van 140 pond die het startschot geeft voor het SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® uitzending op 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.
Ongeslagen kampioen weltergewicht Errol “De Waarheid” Spence, Jr. zal zijn IBF-wereldtitel verdedigen tijdens een thuiskomst in de omgeving van Dallas in de Dallas Cowboys-faciliteit tegen de ongeslagen verplichte uitdager Carlos Ocampo in het hoofdevenement. Het zal het eerste boksevenement in Ford Center zijn en het eerste gevecht in de geboorteplaats van Spence als wereldkampioen.
Tickets voor het evenement, die wordt gepromoot door TGB Promotions in samenwerking met Man Down Promotions, zijn nu te koop en te koop bij www.SeatGeek.com.
“Dit wordt een fantastische kaart met de toevoeging van het kampioensgevecht van 122 pond tussen Daniel Roman en Moises Flores en voormalig kampioen Javier Fortuna die het opneemt tegen Adrian Granados in een speciale attractie van 140 pond.,” zei Tom Brown, President van TGB Promotions. “Geen van deze boksers heeft achteruit in de versnellingsbak, wat vermakelijke gevechten belooft voor de fans van The Star en degenen die thuis kijken op SHOWTIME.”
De 27-jarige Romein (24-2-1, 9 KO) zal zijn tweede titelverdediging maken van het WBA 122-pond kampioenschap dat hij afgelopen september in Japan won met een TKO-overwinning op Shun Kubo. De 28-jarige, Los Angeles, Calif., keerde terug naar Japan en maakte zijn eerste titelverdediging met een unanieme overwinning op Ryo Matsumoto in februari. Roman doet mee aan dit gevecht nadat hij 16 opeenvolgende gevechten heeft gewonnen.
“Iedereen weet dat ik tegen de beste wil vechten en Flores staat bovenaan,” zei Roman. “Hij is niet voor niets ongeslagen en hij is de nummer één uitdager voor mijn titel. Ik ga hem niet lichtvaardig nemen. Ik ben gemotiveerd om geweldig te zijn. Ik ben nu meer gefocust dan ooit tevoren. Ik laat Flores niet toe, of iemand anders mijn riem afpakt. Het plan is eenvoudig. Pluk hem ronde voor ronde uit elkaar, net zoals ik heb gedaan in mijn andere wereldtitelgevechten.”
Bloemen (25-0, 17 KO), van Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, keert terug naar de ring na een no-contest tegen Guillermo Rigondeaux in een gevecht waarin Flores werd geraakt en uitgeschakeld met een schot dat aanvankelijk legaal werd genoemd, maar uiteindelijk werd besloten dat hij na de bel was gekomen, waardoor de no-contest ontstond. De 31-jarige scoorde een indrukwekkende overwinning met een beslissende overwinning op Oscar Escandon 2015 dat leverde hem een tussentijdse titel van 122 pond op en volgde die met overwinningen op eerder verslagen vechters Luis Emanuel Cusolito en Paulus Ambunda.
“Ik ga Daniel Roman elke ronde tot het einde laten vechten,” zei Flores. “Hij is een goede bokser en een counterpuncher, maar ik ben een krijger, dus ik zal klaar zijn voor alles wat hij brengt. Als hij mijn macht niet kan weerstaan, dan gaat hij vroeg naar beneden. Dit is een must-win en ik ben vastbesloten om op 16 juni wereldkampioen te worden.”
Fortuin (33-2-1, 23 KO) won de supervedergewichttitel met een unanieme beslissing tegen Bryan Vasquez in 2015 en gaat dit gevecht aan om terug te stuiteren van een split-decision-verlies tegen lichtgewichtkampioen Robert Easter, Jr. in januari op SHOWTIME. De 28-jarige Fortuna, van La Romana, Dominicaanse Republiek, slaagde er niet in om gewicht te winnen voor het paasgevecht en zal nu proberen uit te dagen in de divisie van 140 pond.
“Ik weet dat Adrian Granados een krijger is, maar dit gevecht breekt in mijn voordeel omdat ik gewoon de betere vechter ben,” zei Fortuna. “Ik respecteer Granado's’ stijl en ik weet dat hij veel mensen verrast met zijn veerkracht in de ring. Ik ben volledig bereid om hem tijdens Fight Night te verslaan. Ik maak me ook geen zorgen over de toename in gewicht, want zodra we de ring instappen, Ik zal de grotere man zijn.”
De 28-jarige Granados (18-6-2, 12 KO) heeft een reputatie opgebouwd als een bokser die bereid is alle uitdagingen aan te gaan en iemand die zijn tegenstanders altijd tot het uiterste drijft. Vechten uit Chicago, hij lijkt met een overwinning op Fortuna weer op het winnende spoor te komen. Vorig jaar verloor Granados een unanieme beslissing van voormalig weltergewichtkampioen Shawn Porter en een split-decision van vierdivisiekampioen Adrien Broner. Vóór die twee verliezen, Granados had een winstreak van vijf wedstrijden neergezet, waaronder een TKO-overwinning op Amir Imam.
“Javier Fortuna is een sluwe linkshandige, maar ik zal sterker en beter zijn dan ooit met 140 pond,” zei Granados. “Ik heb het gevoel dat ik iedereen met dit gewicht kan verslaan. Nadat ik Amir Imam had verslagen, iedereen ontwijkt me in deze gewichtsklasse. Ik ga een statement maken over waar ik thuishoor in het boksen en de fans een geweldige show geven zoals ik altijd doe.”

Calderon to Face Crosstown Rival Martinez at Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. op vrijdag, Juli 6
|
Op Vrijdag, Juli 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 uiteinden.
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 KO) and John David “Pretty Boy” Martinez (10-0, 8 KO). 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 KO) and Ed “The Lion” Paredes (38-7-1, 25 KO). 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 KO), who will face an opponent TBA.
Tickets for “Hometown Throwdown” cost $60, $100, $150, $250 en $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 als 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, Dominicaanse Republiek.
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. Op Fight Night, the action starts at 7:15 p.m. Doors open one hour prior to start time. Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino bevindt zich op 1 Seminole-weg in Hollywood, Fla.

Jermell Charlo Los Angeles Media Workout Quotes & Foto's
|
LOS ANGELES (Mei 31, 2018) – Unbeaten super welterweight world champion Jermell Charlo has arrived in Los Angeles ahead of his upcoming showdown Saturday, Juni 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 p.m. ET/PT and is headlined by the featherweight world championship rematch between Leo Santa Cruz en Abner Mares.
Tickets voor de live-evenement, die wordt bevorderd door Ringstar Sport en TGB Promotions, beginnen om $50, plus van toepassing zijnde vergoedingen, en zijn nu te koop. Om kaartjes te kopen, ga naar AXS.com of klik HIER.
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 James, had to say Thursday:
Jermell Charlo
“Ik ben klaar om te gaan. I’m well-prepared. I’ve been in training camp for about 10 weken. 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.
“Trainingskamp was geweldig. 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. hoewel, 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. [Leeuw] Santa Cruz had his own media day. Abner [Moeders] 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 JAMES, Charlo's 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. Zo, until that happens I see no reason for him to go up in weight. Op dit moment, 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. Zo, 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.”

He will take on the 26-year-old Lopez (7-3-1, 3 KO) 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 KO) 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 KO), who’s last four wins have all come by stoppage.
