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
Sábado, Junho 9 Live on SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel and SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook Page
NOVA IORQUE (Junho 4, 2018) – SHOWTIME Sports has secured the U.S. rights to stream the long-awaited return of former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, que enfrentará Sefer Seferi in a 10-round heavyweight bout Saturday, Junho 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 p.m. E/1:30 p.m. PT.
Na luta de abertura, o herói local Terry Flanagan (33-0, 13 KO) will look to become a two-division world champion when he clashes with unbeaten American Maurice Hooker (23-0-3, 16 KO) 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 e 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 p.m. ET / PT, delayed in the West Coast) from Staples Center. Na co-metragem, Jermell Charlo will face Austin Trout for the WBC Super Welterweight World Championship.
Fúria (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 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. Eu sou 29 anos, 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 aniversário. 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.

\Super galo campeão mundial Daniel Roman defende título contra o invicto Moises Flores sábado, Junho 16 Ao vivo em SHOWTIME® de Ford Center no The Star
|
|
FRISCO, TEXAS (Junho 4, 2018) – campeão mundial super galo Daniel Roman irá defender seu cinturão contra o invicto Moises “Chucky” Flores Sábado, Junho 16 viver no canal Showtime da Ford Center at The Star em Frisco, Texas em um evento apresentado pela Premier Boxe Campeões.
O evento também vai ver o ex-campeão do mundo Javier Fortuna chocando-se com Adrian Granados em um 10-redonda de 140 libras especial atração que começa o Showtime Championship Boxing® transmissão em 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.
Invicto campeão dos médios Errol “A Verdade” Spence, Jr. irá defender seu título mundial IBF em um regresso a casa-área de Dallas na instalação Dallas Cowboys contra o invicto desafiante obrigatório Carlos Ocampo no evento principal. Será o primeiro evento de boxe dentro do Ford Center e Spence primeira luta cidade natal como campeão do mundo.
Os ingressos para o evento, que é promovido pela Promoções TGB em associação com promoções Man Down, já estão à venda e podem ser comprados em www.SeatGeek.com.
“Este prepara-se para ser um cartão fantástico com a adição da luta pelo campeonato £ 122 entre Daniel Roman e Moises Flores e ex-campeão Javier Fortuna tomada em Adrian Granados em uma atração especial de 140 libras,” disse Tom Brown, Presidente da TGB Promoções. “Nenhum destes pugilistas têm reverter em sua caixa de engrenagens, que promete entreter batalhas para os fãs do The Star e aqueles que estão assistindo em casa no canal Showtime.”
A 27-year-old Roman (24-2-1, 9 KOs) estará fazendo sua segunda defesa do título da WBA £ 122-campeonato que ele ganhou com uma vitória por TKO sobre Shun Kubo setembro do ano passado no Japão. A 28-year-old, de Los Angeles, Calif., retornou ao Japão e fez sua primeira defesa do título com uma vitória por decisão unânime sobre Ryo Matsumoto em fevereiro deste ano. Roman entra nesta luta tendo vencido 16 lutas em linha reta.
“Todo mundo sabe que eu quero lutar com os melhores e Flores é lá em cima,” disse Roman. “Ele está invicto por uma razão e que ele é o número um challenger para o meu título. Eu não vou levá-lo de ânimo leve. Estou motivado para ser grande. Estou mais focado agora do que nunca. Eu não vou deixar Flores, ou qualquer outra pessoa tomar meu cinturão. O plano é simples. Pegá-lo para além rodada a rodada, assim como eu fiz em minhas outras lutas pelo título mundial.”
Flores (25-0, 17 KOs), de Guadalajara, Jalisco, México, retorna aos ringues depois de um concurso não contra Guillermo Rigondeaux em uma luta que viu Flores bateu e bateu para fora com um tiro que foi inicialmente chamado jurídica, mas acabou por ser governado para ter vindo após o sino, fazendo assim com que a competição não. O jogador de 31 anos marcou uma vitória impressionante, com uma vitória por decisão sobre Oscar Escandon em 2015 que lhe rendeu um título £ 122-interino e seguiu-se com vitórias sobre lutadores anteriormente uma vez batido Luis Emanuel Cusolito e Paulus Ambunda.
“Eu vou fazer Daniel Roman lutar me a cada rodada até o final,” disse Flores. “Ele é um bom boxeador e um perfurador balcão, mas eu sou um guerreiro, então eu vou estar pronto para qualquer coisa que ele traz. Se ele não pode realizar-se a meu poder, em seguida, ele vai para baixo cedo. Este é um must-win e eu estou determinado a se tornar um campeão do mundo em 16 de junho.”
Fortuna (33-2-1, 23 KOs) ganhou o título de super pluma com uma decisão unânime contra Bryan Vasquez em 2015 e entra nesta luta olhando para se recuperar de uma perda decisão dividida para campeão dos leves Robert Páscoa, Jr. em janeiro no canal Showtime. A 28-year-old Fortuna, de La Romana, República Dominicana, não conseguiu fazer peso para a luta de Páscoa e agora vai buscar desafio na divisão de 140 libras.
“Eu sei que Adrian Granados é um guerreiro, mas isto quebra de luta em meu favor, porque eu sou simplesmente o melhor lutador,” disse Fortuna. “Eu respeito Granados’ estilo e eu sei que ele surpreende muita gente com sua resiliência no ringue. Estou totalmente preparado para fora-caixa-lo na noite da luta. Eu não estou preocupado com subir de peso ou porque uma vez que entrar no ringue, Eu vou ser o maior cara.”
A 28-year-old Granados (18-6-2, 12 KOs) acumulou uma reputação como um boxeador dispostos a aceitar todos os desafios e aquele que sempre empurrado seus adversários para a beira. Lutando fora de Chicago, ele olha para voltar a vencer com uma vitória sobre Fortuna. No ano passado, Granados perdeu uma decisão unânime para o ex-campeão dos médios Shawn Porter e uma decisão dividida para o campeão quatro divisão Adrien Broner. Antes dessas duas derrotas, Granados tinha reunido um cinco-jogo sequência de vitórias que incluiu uma vitória por TKO sobre Amir Imam.
“Javier Fortuna é um canhoto habilidoso, mas eu vou ser mais forte e melhor do que nunca para trás em 140 libras,” Disse Granados. “Eu sinto que posso nocautear qualquer um com esse peso. Depois que eu vencer Amir Imam, todos foi me esquivando-se a esta classe de peso. Vou fazer uma declaração sobre onde eu pertenço no boxe e dar aos fãs um grande show como sempre faço.”

Calderon to Face Crosstown Rival Martinez at Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. na sexta-feira, Julho 6
|
Na Sexta-Feira, Julho 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 extremidades.
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 e $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 como amador, 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, República Dominicana.
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. Na noite da luta, 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 está localizado na 1 Seminole Way em Hollywood, Fla.

Jermell Charlo Los Angeles Media Workout Quotes & Fotos
|
LOS ANGELES (Maio 31, 2018) – Unbeaten super welterweight world champion Jermell Charlo has arrived in Los Angeles ahead of his upcoming showdown Saturday, Junho 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 e Abner Mares.
Os ingressos para o evento ao vivo, que é promovido pela Ringstar Sports e Promoções TGB, begin at $50, acrescida de comissões, e já estão à venda. To purchase tickets visit AXS.com or click AQUI.
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
“Eu estou pronto para ir. 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.
“Campo de treinamento foi ótimo. 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. embora, 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. [Leão] Santa Cruz had his own media day. Abner [Mães] 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, Instrutor de Charlo
“[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. Assim, until that happens I see no reason for him to go up in weight. Agora, 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. Assim, 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.”

The 22-year-old 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.
