LAS VEGAS (Juni 10, 2021) – Viervoudig wereldkampioen Gervonta "Tank" Davis hield woensdag een mediatraining in Las Vegas terwijl hij zijn confrontatie met WBA Super Lightweight Champion nadert Mario "El Azteca" Barrios die een SHOWTIME PPV-zaterdag kopt, Juni 26 van de bekroonde State Farm Arena in Atlanta in een Premier Boxing Champions-evenement.

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.

Een van de grootste bokssterren op slechts 26-jarige leeftijd, Davis stijgt voor het eerst in zijn carrière tot 140 pond terwijl hij ernaar streeft een superlichtgewichtkampioen toe te voegen aan zijn geweldige cv. Met een overwinning, Davis houdt tegelijkertijd wereldkampioenschappen in drie verschillende divisies, een prestatie die slechts door een paar vechters in de geschiedenis is bereikt, waaronder Henry Armstrong en Canelo Alvarez.

Dit is wat Davis, samen met trainer Calvin Ford, en Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe, moest woensdag zeggen van de Mayweather Boxing Club:

GERVONTA DAVIS

“We kunnen niet zeggen wie de grotere puncher is totdat we in die ring zijn en zijn kracht testen. Het maakt niet uit wie sterker is, Ik wil over de hele linie en in elk aspect van het spel beter zijn dan hem.

"Mensen die hier met mij in de sportschool zijn, zien veel dingen die ik niet naar buiten hoef te brengen, zelfs in mijn gevechten. Floyd zegt altijd dat ik moet boksen en mijn vaardigheden moet gebruiken, en zoek niet altijd naar de knock-out. Dit kamp hebben we er echt aan gewerkt om daar op terug te komen en de knock-out te laten komen.

"Voor mij, grootsheid gaat gewoon niet achteruit. Ik wil gewoon doorgaan, wat er ook gebeurt. Het maakt niet uit wie er voor me staat, Ik moet ze gewoon doornemen. Waar ik vandaan kom, veel mensen komen er niet uit, dus ik doe iets goed. Het hoeft niet eens een tegenstander te zijn, het kan iets buiten de ring zijn. Ik jaag altijd op grootsheid.

"Mijn ding is gewoon verslaan wie er voor me wordt gezet". Wanneer het tijd is, we zullen zien wie de topper is. Tot dan, Ik hoef niet over een andere vechter te praten dan die voor mij.

"Barrios en ik hebben samen de amateurs doorstaan". Hij weet wat ik heb gedaan. Het is gek hoe het leven soms loopt.

“Ik ben een teamspeler, dus wat mijn team me ook vertelt, moet worden gedaan om mezelf te verbeteren, ik ben er helemaal voor. Dat is wat me zo goed heeft gemaakt. Ik ben niet alleen opvallen door mezelf. Ik heb het beste team in boksen.

“Mijn laatste gevechtsmensen klaagden dat Leo Santa Cruz te klein was, dus ik ga eigenlijk naar buiten en laat zien dat een verschil in grootte er niet toe doet. Ik ga iedereen verslaan die ze voor me zetten. Ik probeer grootheid na te jagen.

"Ik ben zeker op zoek naar de grotere man". Hij heeft misschien het gevoel dat hij me naar beneden kan lopen. Ik was absoluut aan het kijken hoe Floyd tegen een veel grotere man in Logan Paul vocht en er een paar aanwijzingen uit haalde.

“Ik weet niet wat Barrios zal brengen, maar van mijn kant, Ik breng alles wat ik heb mee. Je weet wanneer ik vecht, Ik neem iets mee waar de fans van kunnen genieten."

CALVIN FORD, De trainer van Davis

"'Tank's' pay-per-view-nummers opende de deuren voor de rest van hen. Het komt door de sociale media van 'Tank'. Als mensen me vragen waarom mensen naar hem toe trekken – hij is net als elk kind dat uit de binnensteden komt. Kijk naar basketballers – binnensteden. Kijk naar voetballers – binnensteden. Hij laat ze zien dat als je de juiste mensen om je heen zet en je ergens je zinnen op zet, alles is mogelijk.

"'Tank', Devin Haney, Teofimo Lopez en Ryan Garcia zullen de Four Kings zijn als de gevechten plaatsvinden. Laten we keep it real. Op dit moment, ze doen hetzelfde als de vier koningen in het beginstadium. Het enige wat we hoeven te doen is achterover leunen en de geesten die zijn, hun ding doen. Het gaat gebeuren. Al deze gevechten die mensen willen zien, gaan gebeuren.

"Is het je opgevallen dat 'Tank' niemand roept?? Hij deed het nooit. Maar als je hem voor iemand plaatst, hij gaat het je laten zien. Als je ‘Tank’ kent van de amateurs, hij gaat in de ring verschijnen. Hij is als een baby Mike Tyson.

“Het gewicht is niet waar ik op gefocust ben, het is eigenlijk de tegenstander. Toen ik begon met het bestuderen van de tegenstander, zijn coach en ik gaan ver terug in de amateurs. Wanneer we elkaar zien, kennen wij elkaar. Het gaat om de geesten. Hij kent zijn atleet en ik ken mijn atleet. Die nacht, het gaat om de geest. Het gaat erom wie vasthoudt aan wat ze zouden moeten doen. Dat is het gevecht voor mij.

"Ik zou niet zeggen dat dit de zwaarste test van de carrière van 'Tank' is, omdat niemand me het beste van 'Tank' tot nu toe kan laten zien. Ik ken het beste van 'Tank'. Je hebt 'Tank' niet gezien.'

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO van Mayweather Promotions

“Van boven naar beneden is dit een van die pay-per-view-evenementen die je niet wilt missen. Elke keer dat je de meest opwindende jager in de sport hebt, je weet dat het groot gaat worden. Verwacht niets minder in juni 26.

“Coach Calvin Ford is een geweldige trainer die vanaf dag één bij Gervonta is geweest en ze hebben een geweldig spelplan opgesteld.. Ik verwacht volledig dat hij in staat zal zijn om uit te voeren. Maar Barrios komt voor hem. Hij heeft zelf een geweldige trainer in Virgil Hunter en heeft grote vooruitgang geboekt met Virgil.

"We weten dat dit een zware strijd gaat worden", maar Gervonta moet het gewoon zien uit de openingsbel. En ik geloof dat hij dat zal doen, maar het zal even duren. Barrios wil de appelkar van streek maken.

“Gervonta vormt zich naar zijn comfortzone. He’s becoming more comfortable with the media because he truly understands what he has in front of him. He knows that his ceiling is to be the biggest star in the sport. On the inside of the ring though, nothing has changed.

“The co-feature is a terrific bout with Erickson Lubin taking on Jeison Rosario. That’s going to be a very entertaining fight. A win for Lubin puts him one step closer to his ultimate goal. Lubin feels like he’s the best in the weight class and eventually right that wrong of his loss to Jermell Charlo. But he has a tough rugged fighter in front of him and that should be an exciting bout.

“Former unified champion Julian Williams is looking to bounce back against Brian Mendoza on the pay-per-view. Julian is duidelijk een van de beste vechters in de divisie, en hij wil terugkrijgen wat hij verloren heeft he.

“In de openingswedstrijd neemt de zeer taaie Batyr Achmedov het op tegen Argenis Mendez, wie staat er altijd in de go-mode. Het laat dus echt zien hoe vermakelijk deze kaart helemaal is. Ik ben erg opgewonden om terug te zijn in State Farm Arena. ”

Ongeslagen Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez gaat voor 42e overwinning vs. Sullivan Barrera

LOS ANGELES (Juni 8, 2021) – Undefeated former World Boxing Organization (WBO) Super middengewicht kampioen (WBO) Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (41-0, 27 KO), who will be making his debut as a member of Golden Boy’s stable, goes for his 42nd professional victory July 9th tegen wereldkampioen licht zwaargewicht titeluitdager Sullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KO).

“It’s an honor to headline iKON 7,” Serrano said. “It is a fast-rising MMA organization that I plan to plant my flag on. My co-manager, Pearl Gonzalez, turned me on to it and so far, I’m loving my dealings with them.

“My first two opponents in MMA were also Mexicans and they were tough. I don’t want it any other way if I’m going to have people take me seriously in this sport. From what I understand, my opponent has striking experience but in MMA, you should never expect a particular style. Most are well rounded and regardless of their primary style, I’m ready for it.”

During the filming we talked about helping each other train in our respective disciplines and yeah, it materialized but in way I became an MMA practitioner.

“Training is totally different. I took a year off from boxing just to learn the basics. Vandaag, I train everyday regardless of upcoming fights or not. There are a ton of things I still need to learn. I’m pretty much a workaholic and a sore loser, dus, if I’m messing with it, I want it all! I’d love to one day fight for World title (in MMA) and become a champion in both sports at the same time. I have what it takes to do it if anyone does. I do want to switch the narrative as a striker and be known in MMA for my ground game.”

MIAMI(Juni 7, 2021) – All-time boxing greatFloyd "Money" Mayweatherand social media sensationLogan “The Maverick” Paulfought to the distance in their eight-round special exhibition bout Sunday night that headlined a SHOWTIME PPV from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.

“Hij was sterk, tough and better than I thought he was,” said Mayweather. “I was surprised by him tonight. That was some good little work.”

It’s an honor to share the ring with Floyd," zei Paul. “He’s one of the GOATs. This is one of the coolest things ever.

After weeks of buildup, the star-studded event pitted superstars from two different worlds in a highly anticipated showdown for sports and entertainment fans around the globe.

Mayweather displayed his typical patient and clinical boxing style, feeling out Paul in the opening round, before allowing Paul to come forward with a flurry of power shots at the end of the round that were mostly blocked, but excited the crowd nonetheless. As the fight wore on, Mayweather began to find a spot to land numerous power shots on Paul’s head and body.

Despite sustaining punishment in the middle rounds, Paul was able to use his over 30-pound weight advantage to frequently tie Mayweather up and avoid being stopped or sent to the canvas.

Even without much experience, he knew to use his weight to tie me up tonight,” said Mayweather.

Na het gevecht, the fighters expressed gratitude and inspiration to the fans who have helped them reach the tremendous heights that allowed this match to become reality.

I had fun tonight,” said Mayweather. “I thank all the fans who came out, you’re all unbelievable.

I don’t want anyone to tell me anything is impossible ever again," zei Paul. “The fact that I got in here with one of the greatest boxers of all time, it proves the odds can be beat. Anyone can beat the odds and do great things in life. This is one of the greatest nights of my life, Ik ben blij. "

In the co-main event former two-division world championBadou Jack(24-3-3, 14 KO) delivered a dominating fourth-round stoppage of previously unbeatenDervin Colina(15-1, 13 KO) in their light heavyweight duel.

“The game plan was just to outbox him,” said Jack. “Everything else will come. Zeer Zeker, hit the body. He was a little soft in the body but I give him respect. He came out on short notice. He was supposed to fight next week but this is a different level.”

Known as a slow starter throughout his accomplished career, Jack came out faster in this fight and was sharp from the outset against the replacement opponent Colina, who stepped in for Jean Pascal after Pascal failed a pre-fight drug test.

“He was trying to hold a lot and survive,” said Jack. “I fight better when I fight better opponents. I was a little sloppy. The world class fights are when I perform the best.”

Jack’s effectiveness forced Colina to try to hold to stop the incoming attack, but he was only able to use that strategy briefly, as referee Frank Santore Jr. took away points for holding in rounds two and three, warning Colina that one more infraction would end the fight in disqualification.

In de vierde ronde, Jack landed a straight right hand that put Colina on the mat in the opening minute of the frame. Colina fought valiantly to stay in the fight, but the body attack from Jack helped him finally earn the stoppage. A combination to the body put Colina down for the second time and a counter right hand dropped Colina for a third and final time as the referee halted the fight at 2:57 in the round.

I’m a big guy and I walk around heavy, so I might move up to cruiserweight,” said Jack post fight about his future plans. “My goal is to become a three-division champion and I fight better when I don’t have to cut a lot of weight.”

The pay-per-view telecast also saw veteran contenderLuis Arias(19-2-1, 9 KO) score a split-decision victory over former unified 154-pound champion"Swift" Jarrett Hurd(24-2, 16 KO) in an action-packed 10-round affair.

“I’m not sure what went wrong tonight,” said Hurd. “I believe I won the fight. I had a knockdown. I could make a hundred excuses but it wasn’t a great performance.”

Arias controlled the early rounds of the duel, attacking Hurd with numerous combinations that landed flush. His clean power punching was an advantage throughout, as he out landed Hurd in power punches by a total of 153 naar 120 while landing over 40% of those shots.

“The game plan was to jump on him, get the early lead and keep it,” said Arias. “I felt like in the middle rounds I was winning the fight but you never know because I wasn’t the A-side in this fight. I buzzed him a lot, especially on the inside.”

Hurd began to attempt to mount a comeback in rounds five and six, closing the distance effectively and finding a home for short right hooks and right uppercuts, with Arias even acknowledging that he was made unsteady after the action.

“I came in here and challenged the number one guy at 154 pounds and we fought somewhere halfway and I was able to edge a decision,” said Arias. “Props to Jarrett Hurd. You fought a great fight. Eerlijk, you could have had me out of there. I was definitely buzzed. If you would have found a way, I definitely would have gone down.”

In a fight that had two brief delays to weather affecting the ring surface, Hurd scored a knockdown in round nine with a glancing right hand after Arias appeared to slip on the ring. Despite the advantage on the scorecard, the uneasy footing affected Hurd’s plan to box Arias from the outside.

The plan coming out in the first round was to box,” said Hurd. “I wasn’t as confident in my feet as the rain came down, so I had to go toe-to-toe more. That wasn’t really what we trained for, so I was a bit sloppy.”

Arias bounced back effectively from the knockdown in the final round, with his onslaught eventually forcing Hurd to look to hold on in the final minutes to reach the final bell. In his first outing with new trainer Ismael Salas, Arias ended the night victorious, with one judge scoring the fight 95-94 for Hurd, overruled by scores of 97-93 en 96-93 for Arias.

“I would like to thank Ismael Salas,” said Arias. “I came to him semi-late. About six or seven weeks and I needed to change something in my game plan to beat Jarrett. The things I was doing before would have gotten me a loss tonight. I needed somebody to just tweak a little bit and put my game up a little bit so I could beat this champion.”

I’ll take the rematch at whatever weight,” said Hurd. “I know I’m the better man.

In the opening bout of the pay-per-view, former NFL starChad Johnsonmade his boxing debut in an exhibition that went the four-round distance against versatile pro fighterBrian Maxwell.

“I had fun," zei Johnson. “I had two months to get ready for this and I want to thank God for keeping us safe out there. I want to thank Floyd, Leonard Ellerbe and my whole team for allowing me to check this off my bucket list.”

“Ask the world who Brian Maxwell is now,” said Maxwell. “Brian Maxwell is here. Dankjewel, Tsjaad. It was an honor fighting my idol and I appreciate it.”

Johnson showed off the “sweet feet” that made him a six-time Pro Bowler, landing some strong jabs and check hooks from distance, while avoiding serious damage from Maxwell over the first three rounds.

In de vierde ronde, Maxwell provided an exclamation to the bout, landing a counter overhand right that connected and put Johnson onto the canvas with 40 seconden te gaan in de ronde. In his first foray into the sweet science, Johnson was able to recover from the shot, get to his feet and make it to the final bell.

Always willing to step into uncomfortable waters throughout his career, Johnson post-fight expressed hope that his venture into the ring will serve as a positive example for those watching.

“My life has always been about taking chances and doing crazy stuff and this is just another one off my bucket list," zei Johnson. “It’s a message for a lot of people who are scared to fail, scared to lose, scared to take chances to go out there and live. Don’t be scared to fail, it’s okay. I don’t box. I fight but it ain’t in the ring, so of course I was a little sloppy.”

NEF TO DEBUT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE; WELTERWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT ANNOUNCED

Voor onmiddellijke publicatie: Milford, New Hampshire (Juni 7, 2021) - New England Fights (NEF) announced today that the fight promotion will return with its next event, "NEF 44: Terug in het zwart," in augustus 21, 2021.  The show will originate from the Hampshire Dome in Milford, New Hampshire and will feature a mix of both mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and kickboxing fights. It will be NEF’s long-awaited debut in the Granite State, and it will also be the promotion’s first event since the COVID-19 pandemic hit in the spring of 2020.

NEF’s previously-scheduled event, “NEF 43: Rampage,” which was postponed indefinitely due to the pandemic, is still awaiting a rescheduled date at the Collins Center for the Arts at UMaine Orono. NEF executives hope that date will be sometime later in the fall, but at press time they were still waiting on a decision from the Combat Sports Authority of Maine on re-opening the regulation of MMA and boxing events in the state without restrictions.

“Fighters and fans have waited long enough,” declared NEF promoter and co-owner Nick DiSalvo. “With Maine not fully open for combat sports events yet, the Hampshire Dome and the New Hampshire Boxing Commission presented the perfect opportunity to get fighters back in the cage and active again before summer was over.”

NEF further announced today the first fight confirmed for the “NEF 44” card in Milford would be an amateur welterweight title contest. Duncan “The Highlander” Smith (5-3), who has held the promotion’s 170-pound championship since June 2018, is scheduled to defend against number-one-contender Mike “All Class” Bezanson (5-0).

“Coming out of COVID we’re going to find out who really wants it and is serious about accelerating in the sport,"NEF zei mede-eigenaar en matchmaker Matt Peterson. “Who was working during quarantine, grinding away in their basements and garages and backyards and getting better while the world was shut down? Duncan and Bezanson both believe they are those guys and we’re going to find out on August 21st. These are two of the best in the Northeast welterweight division and I can’t wait to see which one proves that they are ready to punch through into the professional division before the end of 2021.”

Reigning champion Duncan Smith is a perfect 3-0 in the NEF cage. His last defense of the title was at “NEF 38” in April 2019 when he defeated John Tefft (2-1) via unanimous decision. Smith represents Evolution Athletix based in Saco, Maine.

“I’ve never felt more complete and confident in all aspects of living,"Zei Smith. “I am extremely excited to showcase my skills against a game opponent before I enter the pro ranks. A lot can change in two years.”

Undefeated Mike Bezanson is regarded by many as one of the most exciting competitors on the entire New England scene. He is known for his flashy striking style and explosive finishes. Bezanson represents Team Kaze of Lancaster, New Hampshire.

I’ve been sitting like a caged lion this last year because of COVID,” stated Bezanson when reached for comment. “Waiting eagerly for everything to open up just like everyone else. I’m very excited to be able to get back in there to perform for everyone!  I can assure you this will be the same game plan as all my previous fights. I’m going in there for two reasons, to knock out whoever is in front of me and walk out with a belt over my shoulder.

“With everything opening up and restrictions being lifted, there is a lot to get excited about,” said Bezanson’s coach and Kaze Dojo owner Greg Williams. “That being said, nothing excites me more than seeing Mike Bezanson bringing his unique brand of violence back to the NEF cage! He is a rare talent and I believe he will eventually realize himself on the highest level. Another amateur belt is just icing on the cake. We all look forward to seeing New England’s best amateur 170 prospect and how he has evolved in the past year!"

Tickets voor “NEF 44: Back in Black” zijn nu te koop bijwww.NewEnglandFights.com/Tickets/The hybrid MMA and kickboxing event will take place at the Hampshire Dome in Milford, New Hampshire op zaterdag, Augustus 21, 2021, met een bel-tijd van 7 p.m.

The Unnatural Return of JD “The Natural” Chapman

Juni 4, 2021, Fort Smith, Arkansas—In a year of surprising boxing returns, nothing is more surprising than the return of retired heavyweight contender JD “The Natural” Chapman (29-0).


Born John David Chapman in March of 1983, Chapman did not fight as an amateur. In plaats daarvan, he started fighting in Toughman Contest competitions before he turned pro in 2002. He chose the name “Het natuurlijke” as Chapman hails from Arkansas, “The Natural State”.


JD did many of his early professional fights close to home, namely as part of the Slugout Series promoted by Stacy “Goodnight” Goodson. Goodson and Scott Hirsch, who were managing Chapman, built Chapman into a heavyweight contender.


In the process, Chapaman accumulated 29 overwinningen en 26 knock-outs. He beat several notable contenders and gatekeepers. His most notable opponents were Chicago-based Edward Gutierrez who was 15-0-1 coming into the bout, New York veteran John Carlo who possessed a 14-1 record, and fellow undefeated Mid-West prospect Matt Hicks 7-0.

Chapman also captured several regional heavyweight titles including the IBF Southern Regional title, the North American Boxing Council title, the WBC Latino title and the Arkansas State title. Just when it seemed that Chapman was at the cusp of stardom, he hung it all up and rode into the sunset.

At the time of his retirement Chapman was an up and coming contender, and a darling of the boxing press. He received tremendous coverage and exposure in the boxing press as a heavyweight prospect, and was featured on national television. Verder, Chapman was rated by just about every major sanctioning body including the lineal sanction body, the WBC, which gave him a World Rating of 14.

Chapman will return on an untelevised club show this Saturday, Juni 5, 2021, and in a fight close to where it all begun in his home state of Arkansas. Chapman was called in as a last minute replacement opponent to fight Tony “Kryptonite” Lopez at the Springdale Convention Center.
It will be a clash of big men. Chapman weighed in at 294 lbs, while his opponent Lopez weighed in at 259. It will be a battle of big men as Chapman is 6’5” while Lopez is 6’6”.

Although he has had only two professional boxing fights, Lopez is a veteran pugilist with nearly a 100 gevechten onder zijn riem, spanning multiple combat sports disciplines, Mixed Martial Arts, kickboxing and bare knuckle fighting.

Said JD, “I was only offered the fight on Thursday but decided to take it anyway. Even though I’ve been off for so long, I was already training for a July event, and I think I’m ready enough. I accepted the fight with such short notice because I just could not pass on the opportunity to get back in the ring. I did not realize how much I missed fighting.”

In his prime, Chapman had some high profile trainers, inclusief Michael Moorer, Jeff Mayweather and Norman Wilson. Momenteel, he is trained by former MMA fighter Brian Foster and Chapman’s return is being guided by Edward Mendy of Lion Heart Boxing Productions.

Here is what the fighters had to say Friday from the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry:

JACK Badou

“I’m just thankful that I’m still fighting on Sunday night. Now we have a new opponent and it’s going to be the same outcome. I’m in great shape and I can’t wait.

“Colina is just another guy. I respect him for coming in and stepping up as a late replacement. But I was going to win this fight on Sunday whether it was Pascal or anyone.

“I’m very frustrated about Jean Pascal. But I’m a pro and I can adjust no matter who is in front of me. I’m disappointed because I won the first fight against Pascal and I waited 18 months to get my revenge.

“I have a little anger that might get taken out on Colina, but it’s nothing personal, just business that I’m here to take care of on Sunday night.

“I don’t really care about the title too much, I really just cared about getting that revenge against Pascal. I waited so long for this and I could have taken different fights while I waited.

“He’s an undefeated guy so he’s going to come in here with a lot of confidence looking to show off his power. We’ll be ready though regardless how he comes into the fight. I had great sparring like always, so I’m prepared for what he’s going to bring.”

DERVIN COLINA

“I’d like to thank Team Badou Jack for the opportunity. Dit is wat ik doe. Ik ben hiervoor geboren. Come Sunday you guys will see what I do.

“I was scheduled to fight June 11 on a different card. The fight came a little bit earlier on June 6. But I’m ready to fight and there are no excuses for this fight. I’m coming to win at all costs. And you’ll see what I do on Sunday.

“I respect Badou and what he’s done in this sport, but I know that I have everything I need to shock the world come Sunday night.

“I have nothing to lose and that makes me dangerous. I’m going to leave everything in the ring and announce to the whole world that I’m a fighter you’re going to be hearing from.”

JARRETT HURD

“Everyone knows I have unfinished business at 154-pounds. I’m not looking past Arias though. This fight is just a stop at middleweight because I’m going back down to take care of that business.

“We’ve had an amazing training camp with my new trainer Kay Koroma in Colorado Springs. I have a chip on my shoulder. I think a lot of people forgot who I was. I had the best resume in the weight class. Come Sunday, I’m going to remind everyone who I am.

“It’s always strictly business and it’ll be the same on Sunday. Arias is obsessed with my weight and thinks I’m struggling. But he needs to focus on what he needs to do on Sunday night.

“I don’t know where I’m rated right now, but I’m the best fighter at 154 pond. Showing that to the world is the goal on Sunday.

“We just took it back to the basics in training camp with my coach Kay Koroma. You can always learn more in the sport.

“I’ve been boxing for 15 years now and coach Koroma just helped me evolve the things I already knew. He’s got me not just coming forward and using my strength, but moving around and boxing a little bit.”

LUIS ARIAS

“I think the narrative is they needed an opponent for Jarrett Hurd, and I wasn’t looking so great lately. But people tend to forget I was 18-0 before I got my first blemish. When I was with Floyd Mayweather, Ik was 9-0 and that’s when I was most comfortable. That’s the mentality I’m taking into this fight.

“I’ve been around Floyd since December. I’ve been in Vegas training in the altitude, just like Hurd. I’m in tip-top shape for this fight and he still has to figure out how he’s going to fight.

“Now the boxing world is going to be watching this fight. I’m going to be on my Ps and Qs and he won’t have to look for me. He will have to pick and choose once he gets hit on Sunday what style he wants to fight.

“This is a must-win for me. This is a great name for my resume. I haven’t ducked anyone. I’ve taken every name that’s been brought to me. When his name came up I said absolutely. I’m ready and I’m an old-school fighter. I’d fight you in this backyard, that backyard, any backyard. On Sunday it will show.

“He’s the one who has got the issue with the weight. The fight doesn’t really make much sense at 160 because he’s not ranked and wants to go back down to 154. But it’s too big of an opportunity and too big of a card to complain about the weight. We’re going to put the gloves on and whatever he weighs, he weighs. This is going to be the best fight on the card.”

CHAD JOHNSON

“I feel really good. I’ve been using boxing to prepare for football throughout the years, but I’ve never done it to this magnitude. To prepare for an actual fight, is something new. I’m facing a guy who does this for a living, so I’m not taking this lightly at all.

“I was always nervous before every kickoff. So I’d be a fool to say I’m not nervous going into something where I’m out of my element.


“One thing I’m extremely good at, is when there’s lights, cameras and a crowd, is going in there and entertaining.

“I’ve been working with Jorge Masvidal a little bit, but the last few weeks have been in Houston with Jermall and Jermell Charlo. That’s where most of my work has been. I’ve been doing everything possible to make sure I look the part Sunday night.

“I’m out of my element, so of course I’m approaching this fight humbly. He’s coming to knock my head off. Football is something I did all my life, that’s why I walked the way I did. I can’t be arrogant and take this fight lightly.”

BRIAN MAXWELL

“I don’t know how my name came up for this fight. But like everyone has said, ‘Who is Brian Maxwell?’ That’s been a trending topic on every social media. Maar wat denk je? Vandaag, you all know who Brian Maxwell is. And I’m excited about this. It’s a perfect matchup for me. It’s a perfect matchup for Chad. The best of both worlds. Coming from a fan. My hashtag on social media has become ‘Idols Become Rivals.’ And this is the perfect time and the perfect moment for me and him. Like I told him over the phone, I’m a huge fan. But the fanboy has gone out the window. Now we have to entertain and that’s what we’re going to do.

“This is an exhibition, so we are coming to entertain the fans and put on a show. But at the same time, we are two men who are coming in front of each other and have to fight. No matter the outcome, we’re going to put on a great fight.

“I’ve followed this man since Day 1. I know his every move. I’ve modeled myself after him and it’s like fighting myself. I’m going to be humble about this and we are going to put on a show for everyone.

“That has been the question, what round am I going to knock him out. I’m here to entertain and to have fun. This is a great opportunity.”

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO van Mayweather Promotions

“We have a stacked undercard on Sunday night. I’ve promoted tons of events and this is one that I’m really looking forward to, because it gives us an array of great fights in addition to a little something different.

“I’m really looking forward to this card. South Florida has been buzzing since we announced this event. We can’t wait for the great crowd and the tons of fans tuning in from all around the world.

“When I think of Chad Johnson, he’s a showman. He does so many different things really well. He’ll be making his foray into the boxing industry in what should be a terrific bout against Brian Maxwell. Chad is looking to possibly steal the show, which is what he’s known for doing.

“Former unified champ Jarrett Hurd is a great champion and I’ve known him for many years. He’s looking to get back and make his mark where he left off. He’s let it be known that after this fight, he’s going to take control of the 154-pound division again. He’ll be up against Mayweather Promotions own Luis Arias and I’ve had the opportunity to witness Arias preparation firsthand. I can tell you right now he’s more than prepared to upset Jarrett.

“In the co-main, I can’t say enough about Badou Jack. He’s a great champion in the ring and a terrific example outside of the ring. He does so much to help people around the world and Floyd and I are really proud of him. We know he’s going to put on a great show Sunday.

“When it comes to this undercard, the fans are in for a great treat. It’s going to be nothing but action from top to bottom.”
