At Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif.

CARSON, CALIF.(Juni 22, 2021) – Undefeated Interim WBA Super Featherweight ChampionChris “Primetime” Colbertwill face hard-hitting contenderTugstsogt "King Tug" Nyambayarop zaterdag, Juli 3, headlining the live SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif., in een Premier Boxing Champions-evenement.

Nyambayar replaces Yuriorkis Gamboa, who was originally scheduled to face Colbert before suffering an injury during training camp.

The SHOWTIME telecast begins at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and will feature unbeaten rising starMichel Riverabattling lightweight contenderJon Fernándezin a 135-pound WBA title eliminator in the co-main event.

The telecast will also feature highlights of undefeated super lightweight contenderRichardson Hitchinskwadratuur af tegenDarwin Pricein a 10-round duel.

Het evenement wordt gepromoot door TGB Promotions. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased atAXS.com. Hitchins vs. Price is co-promoted with Mayweather Promotions.

“This lineup on July 3 features highly-touted rising stars in tough matchups against opponents looking to make statements of their own,”Zei Tom Brown, President van TGB Promotions. “Chris Colbert has been impressive fight after fight, and he will have a big test against the always-tough Tugstsogt Nyambayar. Also facing perhaps the toughest test of his career, Michel Rivera will enter the ring in an exciting matchup against contender Jon Fernández. This is a card that is lined up to deliver drama all night long.”

Representing his native Brooklyn, N.Y., Colbert (15-0, 6 KO) has quickly shot up the 130-pound rankings, taking on high-level competition in his first 15 pro gevechten. Already established as a fighter with dazzling boxing skills, Colbert showcased his ability to fight toe-to-toe in his last outing, as he stopped hard-hitting Jaime Arboleda in round 11 of their December 2020 clash. The 24-year-old turned pro in 2015 and beat three unbeaten fighters in his first eight contests. Prior to the Arboleda fight, Colbert scored a highlight-reel first round knockout against Miguel Beltran Jr. in september 2019 and a dominant 12-round decision victory over former champion Jezreel Corrales in January 2020.

“I’m very excited to be back in the ring on July 4 weekend,” said Colbert. “I get to set off my fireworks on SHOWTIME the night before. We’re taking this one to Dignity Health Sports Park in California, but I know I’ll have my New York family behind me. This is just another day, another dollar. I have a job to do, and that’s to get the win by any means necessary, but I’m looking to dominate. I expect Nyambayar to bring his A-game though because he knows he’ll be in there with a monster. I may not be the biggest puncher in the world, but I know how to finish a guy and get him out of there, and on July 3 that’s exactly what I’ll be looking to do.”

De 28-jarige Nyambayar (12-1, 9 KO) won een zilveren medaille die zijn geboorteland Mongolië vertegenwoordigde in de 2012 Olympics and now lives in Southern California, where he’s trained by John Pullman. Nyambayar klom op de vedergewichtranglijst na zijn uitgebreide amateurcarrière met overwinningen op de toen nog ongeslagen Harmonito Dela Torre en voormalig interim-kampioen Oscar Escandon. He earned his first world title shot when he defeated former champion Claudio Marrero in January 2019, before dropping his championship bout against long-reigning WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Russell Jr. in februari 2020. Ahead of his super featherweight debut on July 3, the WBC’s second-ranked featherweight Nyambayar most recently handed Cobia Breedy his first loss by scoring two knockdowns and eventually earning the decision in September 2020.

“When I got the call about this fight, I jumped at the opportunity,” said Nyambayar. “I can’t wait to compete. I was born for fights like this. I’m going to leave it all in the ring and give the fans a great show on July 3.”

Geboren in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and now fighting out of Miami, Rivera (20-0, 13 KO) burst onto the scene in 2019 making his U.S. debut with a victory over Juan Rene Tellez. The 23-year-old continued his ascent in 2020, adding a stoppage win against Fidel Maldonado Jr. and a unanimous decision triumph against lightweight contender LaDarius Miller. Meest recent, Rivera stepped back into the ring to knock out Anthony Mercado in February of this year.

“I can’t wait to be showcasing my skills once again on July 3,” said Rivera. “Fernández will be bringing his A-game and that’s exactly what I want. My coach Herman Caicedo and I have been zeroing in on the best approach to this fight and I’m excited to execute it. Jon is a rough and tough fighter and probably the best fighter I’ve faced to this point and I’m looking forward to the challenge. I know that I will be fighting for a world title soon, so I’m just staying focused and disciplined until that time comes.”

The 25-year-old Fernández (21-1, 18 KO) enters this bout on a five-fight winning streak following his only career blemish, a decision loss to O’Shaquie Foster in 2018 opShoBox: The New Generation. A native of Bilbao, Spanje, Fernández will fight in the U.S. for the fourth time on July 3. Fernández has been mentored by boxing great Sergio Martinez and will look to put himself back in position for a world title against Rivera. In zijn laatste gevecht, Fernández knocked out Aristides Perez in the first-round of their February 2020 clash.

“The fans are going to enjoy this fight with Rivera very much,” said Fernández. “Both of us are going to give our all in the ring for the opportunity to become a champion. This is the kind of fight that boxing is all about. Our division is full of great fighters, so you need to fight the best to be the best. My training is going very well and I believe that at this moment, I am in the prime of my career.”

A native of Brooklyn, Hitchins (12-0, 5 KO) werd professional in 2017 after representing Haiti at the 2016 Olympische Spelen. The 23-year-old has flashed impressive skills as he’s amassed an unbeaten record in the pro ranks, which is the product of an extensive amateur career. In zijn laatste uitje, Hitchins scored a career-best victory, as he earned a decision over former world champion Argenis Mendez. Hitchins has increased his competition in winning 10-round decisions in his last three fights.

“After my last fight in December, I got right back in the ring and have been training and tweaking things to help me really get to that star level,'Zei Hitchins. “I’ve always had the tools, but people are just now recognizing my talents. Each opponent has brought something different out of me, and I plan to keep rising to the occasion and putting on a show for the fans.”

Price (17-1, 10 KO) returned to the ring in April to knock out Saul Corral in the fifth round. His previous outing had come in December 2019 when he suffered a knee injury that forced him to take a TKO loss against Malik Hawkins in a fight Price led on the scorecards. Originally from St. Louis and now fighting out of Houston, Price was a standout track and field runner at Grambling State University before turning pro and winning his first 16 gevechten.

“Every dream has a process and a price tag,” said Price. “Those who embrace the process and pay the price, live the dream. Those who don’t, just dream. I can’t wait to get back in the ring on July 3 and put on a great performance.”

The 25-year-old Salazar (23-3, 9 KO) rides a 15-fight winning streak into this matchup. Meest recent, Salazar earned a unanimous decision over Ruben Barajas in their December 2020 clash.

ERICKSON LUBIN VS. JEISON ROSARIO AND JULIAN WILLIAMS VS. BRIAN MENDOZA VIRTUAL PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES

Laat een reactie achter
ATLANTA (Juni 17, 2021) – Top contender Erickson "Hammer" Lubin and former unified champion Jeison Rosario, plus former unified champion Julian "J-Rock" Williams en Brian Mendoza previewed their respective showdowns during a virtual press conference Thursday before they enter the ring on the Gervonta Davis vs. Mario Barrios SHOWTIME PPV undercard Saturday, Juni 26 from the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Lubin and Rosario will meet in a WBC Super Welterweight Title Eliminator in the co-main event, while Williams and Mendoza square off for a 10-round super welterweight showdown on the pay-per-view telecast. The telecast also features hard-hitting Olympian Batyr Akhmedov stepping in against former world champion Argenis Mendez in the opening bout at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

Tickets voor het live-evenement in State Farm Arena, die wordt gepromoot door Mayweather Promotions, GTD-promoties en TGB-promoties, zijn nu te koop en te koop bij ticketmaster.com.

Dit is wat de deelnemers aan de persconferentie donderdag te zeggen hadden:

ERICKSON LUBIN

“This has been the best camp of my life. I know it sounds cliché, but it really has been. Ik heb in de sportschool sinds mijn laatste gevecht. I made a few mistakes in that fight, but Kevin Cunningham and I have been at it since last year and we’re coming to make a statement.

“This is a stacked card and we’re excited to be a part of it. I’m ready to show everyone that I’m the best fighter in this division.

“This is going to be a fan-friendly fight. I can mix it up, box or bang. Rosario always comes forward. The fans are going to love it. I’m not the fighter who tries to find an easy way out. I’m looking to make a statement.

“I think that I’m a totally different fighter than when I trained with his coach, Herman Caicedo. Me and Kevin have worked on a lot of things that regular southpaws don’t have. I’m coming in with a game plan that’s like a jigsaw puzzle. I think this is the wrong fight for Rosario to take coming off a knockout loss.

“This fight comes down to who wants it more and who prepared better. I have power too. He’s got to have the skills and have his mind there. I know I’m ready mentally. I can’t wait to fight.

“I gained a lot of experience fighting Nathaniel Gallimore and Terrell Gausha. Those are top contenders. I don’t want any tune-up fights, that’s why I took this fight against Rosario. I gained a lot of confidence and everything is clicking for me right now.

“When I become world champion, I want to be able to say that I’ve beat all the top guys in the division. That’s just how I am. I’m a competitor. Make sure you tune-in on June 26.

“It doesn’t matter if I knock Rosario out or if I don’t. My job is to look good and come out victorious. I’m going to go in there and show the world that I can make anyone in this division look bad.”

JEISON ROSARIO

“I feel very healthy and very strong. It’s been a great camp so far and probably one of the best camps I’ve had in my career. I’m already at the weight and I am ready to go. The Jermell Charlo fight is the past. That’s over with. This is a new camp and I feel very strong. We’re moving forward.

“I changed trainers just because I was looking for a change. Not necessarily because I lost, but because it was just the right timing. Helaas, it came with a loss, but that was not the reason for the change. We’ve known each other for some time. I know Herman Caicedo’s style. It’s no nonsense. Geen excuses. It’s all or nothing and that’s what I wanted moving forward.

“First and foremost, I have the power to knockout Lubin and anybody in the 154-pound division. The camp that I’ve had, and the little tidbits of southpaw knowledge that I’ve picked up on, make me confident that I can knock Lubin out.

“What happened in the Charlo fight was the fluke. Me winning the titles was not the fluke. I’m going to show everybody that I will bounce back from that loss and win my next fight. I have no problem taking this fight. It’s not a mistake at all. Dit is wat we doen. We fight. I’m very excited for June 26 and I expect Lubin to bring his best.

“I actually watched the Charlo fight for the first time last night. Duidelijk, I learned from my mistake and worked to correct it in this camp. I’m looking forward to showing what I’ve learned from that defeat on June 26.

"Op 154 pond, I can knock anybody out. I have seen some of Lubin’s fights just as a fan and he is a great fighter. It’s not easy to land shots on him or land a home run shot. So that’s not the game plan. Duidelijk, there is a game plan and if I do land on him, I feel that I can knock him out. But I won’t just go in there trying to land a shot on the chin.

“I’m the type to take advantage of an opportunity when it presents itself. This is another opportunity to get right back in the picture and fight for a title, so you have to take this. Not everybody would. Erickson did and I’m cut from the same cloth. It’s the opportunity and the pride of fighting the best.”

JULIAN WILLIAMS

“Camp is going really well. I’ve been out in Las Vegas with SugarHill Steward grinding and putting in the work. The fans can expect an explosive performance and a victory for myself on June 26.

“I just have to be myself on June 26. I think I’m more skilled than anyone else in the division and I plan on proving that again against Brian Mendoza.

“I’ve known who Brian Mendoza is. I expect him to get beat. Hij is een fatsoenlijke vechter, but victory is the only thing on my mind.

“I don’t want to talk about what happened before the Rosario fight because it’s in the past. I don’t want to make any excuses. It wasn’t that I didn’t focus or train hard. Op dit moment, I’ve had a great camp and I’m prepared to win.

“With me, you’re always going to see a hungry and focused fighter in the ring. I don’t know if I’ll look much different. I think with a new coach it takes some time for the changes to start setting in.

“I went through a four-week training camp before my fight in December was cancelled because I got COVID-19. It was almost a full camp and it definitely kept me motivated going into this next training camp for this fight.

“I’m the best fighter in the division. I just lost, that’s all. LeBron James and Michael Jordan had bad nights, I can have a bad night too. I’m still the best in the division and I’m anxious to get back in the ring.”

BRIAN MENDOZA

“Training camp has been going great. I’m out here in Las Vegas, ook. I’ve just been grinding. This is a very big opportunity for me and I plan to take full advantage of it. Everybody can expect one hundred percent and everything I have in me.

“It’s not about looking back at the one blemish on my record and crying about what happened in the past. There’s always a million excuses behind the scenes, maar het is wat het is. I learned from that loss and you guys have seen the change in my performances since that fight and how I was more comfortable at 154 pounds in my next fight. I feel like this next fight will pull out even more from me. You guys will see another big jump in my skill level on June 26.

“I do feel that I have everything to gain in this fight and nothing to lose. I keep telling people on fight night that you’re not going to see somebody that’s just happy to be here and happy to get to this point. I have big goals and this is the perfect fight. So you’re going to see me coming with everything I have and coming for the victory. I have everything to gain.

“I feel like I’m catching Julian Williams at the right time because of where I am in my career. It’s about me. This is the right time. I’m 27-years-old and I’ve been a pro for many years now. I just feel like the schooling that I’ve had is really starting to come out and I’m hitting that next level. I’m not worried about what’s going on with Williams. I know he’s still coming with everything he has to prove that he still has it and that he’s still in the mix.

“A lot of people get to this point and they get a big fight like this and they think they’ve made it. They get happy just to be here, but you won’t see that at all with me. I’ve always visualized being at the top of this sport and climbing to the very top. I’m taking full advantage of this opportunity and you’re going to see somebody very hungry on June 26.”

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO van Mayweather Promotions

“This is a really terrific card from top to bottom. Julian Williams is one of my favorite fighters. He’s a former unified champion who’s going to take on the tough Brian Mendoza. Williams is looking to make a big statement that he’s still a force and that he’s ready to get back in the mix with the other top 154-pounders.

“The co-main event could be a main event on its own. With Lubin and Rosario, we’re really excited to see who will emerge from that fight ready to challenge for a world title once again. We can’t wait for June 26.”

MARIO BARRIOS TRAINING CAMP QUOTES AND PHOTOS

WBA Super Lightweight Champion Barrios Takes on Four-Time World Champion Gervonta Davis Headlining SHOWTIME PPV®Zaterdag,
Juni 26 van State Farm Arena in Atlanta

HAYWARD, CALIF. (Juni 10, 2021) – Unbeaten WBA Super Lightweight Champion Mario "El Azteca" Barrios shared updates on training camp and previewed his upcoming showdown against four-time world champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis before they square off in the SHOWTIME PPV main event Saturday, Juni 26 from the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Tickets voor het live-evenement in State Farm Arena, die wordt gepromoot door Mayweather Promotions, GTD-promoties en TGB-promoties, zijn nu te koop en te koop bijticketmaster.com.

The 26-year-old Barrios will be looking for a signature victory on June 26, and will bring a 5 ½ inch height advantage into the matchup against Davis. Since moving up to 140-pounds, Barrios is 9-0 met acht knockouts, and scored multiple knockdowns in the only fight that went the distance, his title-winning performance over Batyr Akhmedov. The San Antonio-native is buoyed by having renowned veteran trainer Virgil Hunter in his corner.

Here is what Barrios and Hunter had to say about training camp, Davis and more:

MARIO BARRIOS

“This is a huge opportunity for me. Gervonta Davis has a huge name in the sport and outside of it. This is the type of fight that can accelerate both of our names after June 26.

“I think Gervonta and his team might have bit off more than they could chew with this fight. I’m not one to talk too much, but we’ll see how it plays out when we step into the ring on June 26.

“’Tank’ is going to be in there with a full blown 140-pounder. He’s not going against someone past their prime or going up in weight. I’m a guy who goes out and gets stoppages. He’s facing someone just as dangerous as he is, but two weight classes higher than what he’s used to seeing.

“We know Gervonta is a dangerous fighter. We know the threat that we have in front of us. But I’m just as dangerous, if not more dangerous. I’ve been dangerous at 140 pounds for quite some time now.

“I have speed, power and explosiveness, just like Gervonta. But I have the length and physical stature to present problems that he’s never faced before.

“I know that I have power that carries from round one through round 12. He’s not used to being at this weight and we’re going to see how he handles that move up.

“I’m confident because I have a great team behind me. I’ve had a tremendous training camp. I go into every fight with confidence in my preparation. Just like every fight, I’m more than prepared for fight night.

“This is going to be fireworks from the opening bell. We have everything we need to make this the ‘Fight of the Year’.

“This is the moment that I’ve been dreaming of since I was a kid. It just goes to show that everything I’ve been working for my whole life is now unfolding in front of me. This is just the beginning and I’m ready to seize this opportunity.”

VIRGIL HUNTER, Barrios’ Trainer

“The preparation is going really well. We feel really good. Mario is as ready as he can be, so we’re looking forward to an exciting fight. He understands the importance of this fight. It’s a career-defining fight at this stage of his career, so he understands the significance of it. He understands what a victory means and what a setback means. He understands right where he is. His career is still in front of him because he’s a young fighter. But at this stage, it’s a very important fight and a victory would mean a lot.

“You always have to acknowledge ‘Tank’s’ punching power. You have to acknowledge his quickness and his IQ. His attributes appear to be very much real from what I’ve seen. There’s not anything about him that you cannot take seriously. You have to take everything about him seriously. He’s got a good corner and good people behind him so that makes for a formidable opponent.

“Mario’s reach and height is an advantage if you know how to use it to your advantage. It could be an advantage or could be a disadvantage. The thing is that we’re going to find the avenues to take advantage of it and make it work for us. Aan de andere kant, it could be a disadvantage. Height and reach has never meant much to me in boxing because there are ways to overcome each stature that a fighter possesses. It’s who imposes their strategy and who imposes their will on the other who I think is going to come out victorious.

“The work ethic is there. Mario has a high ceiling that he hasn’t reached yet. He’s going towards that, but when he came here, he came with a high ceiling. A lot of fighters come and they’ve reached their ceiling, so there’s only so much you can do with them. But Mario has a lot of room for improvement and growth and I would say the best Mario Barrios is coming a couple years from now. But that doesn’t mean that he won’t be victorious on June 26. He definitely has what it takes to be victorious.”

Ongeslagen Jamaine "The Technician" Ortiz Een visionair in zwembroek en handschoenen Volkskampioen van Worcester

Laat een reactie achter

WORCESTER, Massa. (Juni 10, 2021) – Ongeslagen lichtgewicht vooruitzicht Jamaine "The Technician" Ortiz (14-0-1, 8 KO) is een visionair, duidelijk de dag ziend dat hij de eerste Worcester wordt (MA) geboren om wereldkampioen boksen te worden, evenals de headliner van een show thuis voor duizenden van zijn groeiende legende van fans, en veel meer.
De 25-jarige Ortiz, voormalig World Boxing Council (WBC) Wereld Jeugd lichtgewicht, heeft zijn zinnen gezet op grootsheid en de bokswereld kreeg een glimp van zijn enorme talent in zijn laatste twee gevechten, beide tentoongesteld op spraakmakende kaarten.


Zijn zevende ronde onderbreking van Sulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KO), die nog nooit eerder was tegengehouden, afgelopen november op de Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-event was de eerste keer voor de meeste boksfans buiten New England om hem in actie te zien.


Hij volgde die prestatie vorige maand met een nog betere op ESPN+, ondanks genoegen te nemen met een twijfelachtig gelijkspel van 8 ronden tegen ongeslagen Joseph "Blessed Hands" Adorno (14-0-2, 12 KO), waarin de meeste waarnemers vonden dat Ortiz een overwinning verdiende.

“Ik heb een standbeeld van mezelf gezien in de stad Worcester…..zoals Rocky in Philadelphia," zei Ortiziz, “maar niet alleen voor wat ik doe in de ring. Ik maak deel uit van deze stad. Ik ben de People's Champ! Ik ben bereid om alles te doen wat nodig is om wereldkampioen te worden. Ik ben de headliner van een show in Worcester, maar ik wil het op een grote kaart doen met duizenden fans die me steunen."

"Ik maak veel grapjes als hij praat", maar ik steun elk kind dat een droom heeft zoals Jamaine,Trainer van Ortiz Rocky Gonzalez merkte op. “Zo hebben we het allemaal geleerd bij de Worcester Boys & Girls Club door Carlos Garcia. We geloven in onszelf en ik ben er helemaal mee. iets positiefs, hou het gewoon positief.

"Ik denk dat Jamaine voelt hoe hij denkt over Worcester, omdat het persoonlijk met hem is.". Hij is daar geboren. Hij is altijd zo positief in de sportschool met de kinderen. Als je de beste bent in de sportschool, iedereen kijkt naar je op, en zo is het hier met Jamaine. Het is belangrijk dat de jonge kinderen positief zijn, en zo is het in onze sportschool. Veel daarvan komt door Jamaine.” DCU Center en het nieuwe Polar Park zijn de enige locaties in Worcester (gelegen 40 mijl ten westen van Boston) in staat om vast te houden 5,000 fans of meer voor boksen.

“Jamaine Ortiz naar Worcester,” toegevoegd promotor Jimmy Burchfield (CES-voorzitter), "is als Micky Ward naar Lowell (MA), Vinny Paz naar Providence (RI), en John Ruiz naar Chelsea (MA). We werken elke dag voor Jamaine, zoals we doen voor al onze vechters, en maak je klaar voor groot nieuws!"

"Ik heb eerder een kop gehad, in het Palladium, maar vechten voor thuis 5,000 of meer fans op televisie zou geweldig zijn,” concludeert regerend WBC United States Silver lichtgewicht kampioen Ortiz. “Dat is iets wat ik verwacht als de People's Champion. Ik heb het werk gedaan en een groeiende fanbase opgebouwd, wat zich zal vertalen in toekomstige kaartverkoop. Ik denk dat ik misschien moet vechten op tv in Las Vegas of Madison Square Garden voor casual vechtfans in Worcester om aan boord te komen.

“Zeer vooruitstrevende en briljante stadsambtenaren van Worcester erkennen het belang van het brengen van hoogwaardige sportevenementen naar het gebied en hebben geweldige plannen voor de sportgemeenschap in de nabije toekomst,De manager van Ortiz Dick Shappy bekend. “De recente aankoop van de Pawtucket Red Sox, de Boston Red Sox AAA minor league-filiaal, is daar een bewijs van. De timing is nu perfect voor Jamaine, aangezien hij zichzelf positioneert om de favoriete zoon en wereldkampioen van Worcester te worden. Boksfans, blijf kijken!

Worcester is klaar om zijn favoriete zoon te vieren. De dag van “De Technicus” komt eraan!
