EDMONTON, Canada (
SHOWTIME SPORTS® FOR LIVE STREAM DEN LENGTE VENTEDE RETURNERINGEN AV TIDLIGERE VERDENSMEISTER TYSON FURY PÅ SOSIALE MEDIEPLATTFORMER
Fury til å møte Sefer Seferi; Terry Flanagan møter Maurice Hooker for en ledig verdenstittel på 140 pund
Lørdag, Juni 9 Live på SHOWTIME Sports YouTube-kanal og SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook-side
NEW YORK (Juni 4, 2018) – SHOWTIME Sports har sikret U.S. rettigheter til å streame den etterlengtede returen til tidligere verdensmester i tungvekt Tyson Fury, som vil møte Ekspedisjon Ekspedisjon i en 10-runders tungvektskamp lørdag, Juni 9 fra Manchester Arena. SHOWTIME BOKSING INTERNATIONAL® vil strømme direkte til U.S. publikum på SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook-siden og SHOWTIME Sports YouTube-kanalen fra kl 4:30 pm. OG/1:30 pm. PT.
I åpnings bout, lokale helten Terry Flanagan (33-0, 13 KO s) vil se ut til å bli verdensmester i to divisjoner når han kolliderer med ubeseiret amerikaner Maurice Hooker (23-0-3, 16 KO s) for den ledige WBO Junior Weltervekt-kronen. Dette blir det fjerde boksearrangementet med direktesending i år på SHOWTIME Sports sosiale medieplattformer.
Direkte dekning av Frank Warren-promoterte begivenhet vil bli levert av BT Sport og BoxNation med U.K. sportscastere John Rawling gir slag-for-slag og Richie Woodhall analysen. Boksekringkaster Ray Flores og analytiker Chris Mannix vil levere analyser før kamp og etter kamp fra Staples Center i Los Angeles for SHOWTIME Sports publikum.
Direktestrømmen av Fury vs. Seferi vil gå foran kveldens SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® dobbelthode som viser WBA verdensmester i fjærvekt Leo Santa Cruz i en omkamp mot andre tredivisjons verdensmester Abner Mares direkte på SHOWTIME (10 pm. ET / PT, forsinket på vestkysten) fra Staples Center. I co-feature, Jermell Charlo vil møte Austin Trout for WBC Super Welterweight World Championship.
Raseri (25-0, 18 KOs), en tidligere WBA, WBO og IBF Heavyweight World Champion avslutter et to år og syv måneder langt eksil fra sporten i juni 9. Fury har vært inaktiv siden utpekingen Wladimir Klitschko i Düsseldorf i november 2015 på grunn av en skade, personlige problemer og dopingforbud.
«Jeg er den sprekeste jeg noen gang har vært," sa Fury, som har slått seg sammen med den nye treneren Ben Davison. «Timing, reflekser, alt er bedre enn det noen gang har vært. Jeg ungen deg ikke. Jeg er 29 år, kommer inn i mitt liv, Jeg er sterkere og raskere, holder mer muskelmasse enn noen gang. Jeg er mer sikker på å se på konkurrentene."
Albanias Seferi (23-1, 21 KOs) er en 39 år gammel Sveits-basert cruiservekt som øker i vekt og motstand når han møter 6-fots-9 Fury. Seferis eneste tap kom inn 2016 i en tungvektkamp mot den nå sekundære WBA tungvektsmesteren Manuel Charr.
«Dette kommer til å bli en hard kamp for Fury," sa Seferi. "To og et halvt år ut av ringen er lang tid, og ingen vet om han fortsatt er den samme fighteren som detroniserte Wladimir Klitschko."
Flanagan, den første engelskmannen som fikk en verdenstittel i lettvekt, vil prøve å ta en tittel i en annen vektklasse bare dager unna hans 29th bursdag. Hooker, en southpaw fra Dallas, Texas og ShoBox alun, har trent med Terence Crawford. Hooker vil se etter å følge i fotsporene til andre innbyggere i Dallas Errol Spence Jr., som dro til Kell Brooks hjemby Sheffield, England for å ta sitt første verdensmesterskap.

\Super Bantamweight World Champion Daniel Roman Defends Title Against Unbeaten Moises Flores Saturday, Juni 16 Live on SHOWTIME® from Ford Center at The Star
|
|
FRISCO, TEXAS (Juni 4, 2018) – Super bantamweight world champion Daniel Roman will defend his belt against unbeaten Moises “Chucky” Blomster Lørdag, Juni 16 live on SHOWTIME from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
The event will also see former world champion Javier Fortuna clashing with Adrian Granados in a 10-round 140-pound special attraction that kicks off the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® sendingen på 9 pm. ET / 6 pm. PT.
Undefeated welterweight champion Errol “The Truth” Spence, Jr. will defend his IBF world title in a Dallas-area homecoming at the Dallas Cowboys facility against unbeaten mandatory challenger Carlos Ocampo in the main event. It will be the first boxing event inside Ford Center and Spence’s first hometown fight as world champion.
Billetter til dette arrangementet, which is promoted by TGB Promotions in association with Man Down Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at www.SeatGeek.com.
“This is shaping up to be a fantastic card with the addition of the 122-pound championship fight between Daniel Roman and Moises Flores and former champion Javier Fortuna taking on Adrian Granados in a 140-pound special attraction,” sa Tom Brown, President av TGB Kampanjer. “None of these boxers have reverse in their gear box, which promises entertaining battles for the fans at The Star and those watching at home on SHOWTIME.”
The 27-year-old Roman (24-2-1, 9 KOs) will be making his second title defense of the WBA 122-pound championship he won with a TKO victory over Shun Kubo last September in Japan. The 28-year-old, av Los Angeles, Calif., returned to Japan and made his first title defense with a unanimous decision victory over Ryo Matsumoto this February. Roman enters this bout having won 16-straight fights.
“Everyone knows I want to fight the best and Flores is right up there,” said Roman. “He’s unbeaten for a reason and he’s the number one challenger for my title. Jeg er ikke å ta ham lett. I’m motivated to be great. I’m more focused now than ever before. I’m not going to let Flores, or anyone else take my belt. The plan is simple. Pick him apart round by round just like I’ve done in my other world title fights.”
Blomster (25-0, 17 KOs), av Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, returns to the ring after a no contest against Guillermo Rigondeaux in a fight that saw Flores hit and knocked out with a shot that was initially called legal, but was eventually ruled to have come after the bell, thus causing the no contest. The 31-year-old scored an impressive win with a decision victory over Oscar Escandon in 2015 that earned him an interim 122-pound title and followed that up with victories over previously once-beaten fighters Luis Emanuel Cusolito and Paulus Ambunda.
“I’m going to make Daniel Roman fight me every round until the end,” said Flores. “He’s a good boxer and a counter puncher, but I’m a warrior so I’ll be ready for anything he brings. If he can’t hold up to my power, then he’s going down early. This is a must-win and I’m determined to become a world champion on June 16.”
Fortune (33-2-1, 23 KOs) won the super featherweight title with a unanimous decision against Bryan Vasquez in 2015 and enters this fight looking to bounce back from a split-decision loss to lightweight champion Robert Easter, Jr. in January on SHOWTIME. The 28-year-old Fortuna, La Romana, Den dominikanske republikk, failed to make weight for the Easter fight and will now seek to challenge in the 140-pound division.
“I know that Adrian Granados is a warrior, but this fight breaks in my favor because I am simply the better fighter,” sa Fortuna. “I respect Granados’ style and I know he surprises a lot of people with his resiliency in the ring. I’m fully prepared to out-box him on fight night. I’m not concerned about moving up in weight either because once we step into the ring, I’ll be the bigger guy.”
The 28-year-old Granados (18-6-2, 12 KOs) has garnered a reputation as a boxer willing to accept all challenges and one who always pushed his opponents to the brink. Fighting out of Chicago, he looks to get back on the winning track with a victory over Fortuna. Last year Granados lost a unanimous decision to former welterweight champion Shawn Porter and a split-decision to four-division champion Adrien Broner. Before those two losses, Granados had put together a five-match win streak that included a TKO victory over Amir Imam.
“Javier Fortuna is a crafty southpaw, but I’m going to be stronger and better than ever back at 140-pounds,” said Granados. “I feel like I can knock out anybody at this weight. After I beat Amir Imam, everyone has been ducking me at this weight class. I’m going to make a statement about where I belong in boxing and give the fans a great show like I always do.”

Calderon to Face Crosstown Rival Martinez at Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. på fredag, Juli 6
|
På fredag, 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 endene.
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 og $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 som en amatør, 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, Den dominikanske republikk.
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. På kampen natt, the action starts at 7:15 pm. Doors open one hour prior to start time. Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is located at 1 Seminole Way i Hollywood, Fla.

Jermell Charlo Los Angeles Media Workout Quotes & Bilder
|
LOS ANGELES (Mai 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 pm. ET/PT and is headlined by the featherweight world championship rematch between Leo Santa Cruz og Abner Mares.
Billetter til direktesendingen, som er fremmet av Ringstar Sport og TGB Kampanjer, begynn kl $50, pluss gjeldende avgifter, og er i salg nå. To purchase tickets visit AXS.com or click HER.
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
“Jeg er klar til å gå. I’m well-prepared. I’ve been in training camp for about 10 uker. 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.
“Treningsleir var stor. 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. skjønt, 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 [Mødre] 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 sin 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. Så, until that happens I see no reason for him to go up in weight. Akkurat nå, 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. Så, 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.”
