UM NOVO CAMPEÃO NEF LIGHTWEIGHT COROADO EM LEWISTON

Lewiston, Maine (Abril 30, 2017) - Novamente, sangue fluiu da cabeça de Jon Lemke. Novamente, “O” Ryan Sanders estava com a mão levantada em vitória.

Desta vez, contudo, não houve nenhuma controvérsia ou conjectura sobre o acabamento, e aquele final autoritário fez de Sanders um campeão de artes marciais mistas do NEF pela primeira vez.

Sanders usou uma guilhotina para parar Lemke 22 segundos no segundo turno e ganhe o campeonato vago dos leves do New England Fights no “NEF 28: Invencível," mantido Sábado noite no Colisee Androscoggin Bank em Lewiston.

O confronto anterior sem título em novembro 2016 terminou com Lemke incapaz de continuar devido a um corte acidental. Sanders conquistou a vitória ao vencer as duas primeiras rodadas nos scorecards dos três juízes.

Na revanche da luta pelo título, Sanders provavelmente estava perdendo nessas cartas depois que Lemke usou uma queda tardia para pontuar o que tinha sido um vaivém, sessão de abertura em pé.

“Ele me acertou bem no ... estômago, e isso ... machuca,”Sanders disse, apimentando a declaração com o sorriso e os palavrões que são seu cartão de visita. “Eu sabia que o primeiro round ia ser difícil, porque ele é um assassino, e eu tendo a começar devagar. ”

Sanders (14-8) não perdeu tempo pegando Lemke (6-8) para o tapete e ganhando a torneira na segunda rodada. Foi sua sétima vitória em nove partidas do NEF.

O lutador baseado em Bangor dedicou a vitória à sua esposa, Vanessa, que estava na gaiola para colocar o cinto em volta da cintura do marido. O casal celebrou seu quinto aniversário de casamento Sexta-feira.

“Ela salvou minha vida,”Sanders disse. “Ela é a razão de eu estar aqui, a razão pela qual eu luto, e a razão pela qual sou um campeão. ”

No co-main event, Josh Harvey (4-0) permaneceu invicto com um brutal, 50-segundo nocaute de Derek Shorey.

Shorey (4-9) voltou à jaula do NEF para arrecadar fundos para quatro de seus filhos e sua mãe, que perderam sua casa em um recente incêndio em um apartamento em New Hampshire.

“Ele é um cara ótimo e um super guerreiro. Estou feliz por ele ter se levantado para lutar,”Harvey disse. “Em seguida, gostaria de lutar contra alguém que está invicto.”

Matt Denning, de Auburn, encerrou sua sequência de quatro lutas sem vitórias com autoridade. “Ken Doll” fez seu tão esperado retorno à jaula do NEF com um veredicto no primeiro turno sobre Josh Parker.

Denning usou sua força de luta para vencer a partida do rancor. Ele recuperou de uma queda precoce, dominado no chão, e usou uma guilhotina para guardá-lo no quarto minuto.

“É bom ganhar. Finalmente consegui um,”Denning disse. “Estou em 145 libras, que é onde eu pertenço. ”

O veterano do Bellator, Walter Smith-Cotito, melhorou seu recorde NEF para 3-0, e ele fez isso contra a oposição reveladora. Após vitórias anteriores sobre Bruce Boyington e Elias Leland, Smith-Cotito derrotou Andre Belcarris com um mata-leão no 2:05 da segunda rodada. Belcarris estava fazendo sua estreia profissional após 34 lutas amadoras.

Dominic Jones fez uma estreia profissional triunfante, tirando o esteio da NEF Tollison Lewis com apenas 30 segundos restantes na primeira rodada. Jones venceu todas as suas lutas amadoras por decisão, mas use sua perspicácia de wrestling para dominar seu oponente mais alto no chão e ganhar o TKO.

Paradas na primeira rodada também eram a regra na parte amadora do card, com todas as quatro lutas terminando em menos de dois minutos.

O resultado mais polêmico envolveu Caleb “Dr. Feelgood ”Austin, um aluno do último ano de 18 anos da Mountain Valley High School em Rumford, enfrentando James Ploss do Kaze Dojo em Lancester, New Hampshire. Foi a estreia da jaula para ambos os combatentes.

Ploss foi o agressor desde o sino de abertura e imediatamente levou a ação ao chão. Isso também ajudou a fortalecer Austin, que acumulou um surpreendente 208-11 recorde ao vencer dois campeonatos estaduais como lutador de colégio.

Por volta da marca de 30 segundos, Ploss aplicou uma guilhotina e forçou uma torneira de Austin. Infelizmente para Ploss, o árbitro não viu Austin bater e ele permitiu que a luta continuasse após Ploss ter soltado o golpe.

Austin aproveitou ao máximo a prorrogação e mostrou poder tanto no jogo em pé quanto na trocação, acabou ganhando um nocaute técnico na briga dos pesos-mosca no 1:57 marca.

Josh “Basketball” Jones não deixou nenhuma dúvida em sua vitória de estreia sobre Sean Worcester (0-3).

Jones, 29, que foi escolhido pela NBA Development League antes de embarcar em uma carreira profissional na Alemanha e no Canadá, partiu no ataque inicial com fazedores de feno em loop. Ele largou Worcester na tela e terminou a sucata dos médios com uma enxurrada de feno após apenas 20 segundos.

Jacob Deppmeyer igualou seu livro-razão no hexágono amador em 1-1 com uma demissão de 77 segundos de Glenn Kasabian em um peso de captura de 140. As vitórias de Dominic e Josh Jones, bem como de Dettmeyer, tornaram o MMA de primeira classe um perfeito 3-0 à tarde.

Mason Travers se juntou ao desfile de lutadores fazendo uma estreia amadora de sucesso com sua vitória sobre Nigel Moye em 1:10 da estrofe de abertura.

Muitos anúncios importantes foram feitos sobre “NEF 29: Estrelas e listras," que acontecerá Sábado, Junho 17 no Androscoggin Bank Colisee. O evento principal apresentará a volta ao Maine de Ray “All Business” Wood. O ex-campeão galo da NEF, Paul Gorman, também estará presente.

O boxe profissional voltará para compartilhar os holofotes, liderado pelos favoritos locais Brandon Montella de North Anson e Russell Lamour de Portland, e com um convidado especial: O ex-campeão dos pesos pesados ​​James “Buster’ Douglas estará presente para cumprimentar os fãs e dar autógrafos.

CLAUDIO MARRERO SCORES FIRST ROUND KNOCKOUT OF CARLOS ZAMBRANO IN THE MAIN EVENT OF PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS ON FS1 & FOX DEPORTES FROM SAM’S TOWN LIVE IN LAS VEGAS

LAS VEGAS (Abril 29, 2017) – Newly crowned WBA Interim Featherweight Champion Claudio Marrero (22-1, 16 KOs) shocked previously unbeaten Carlos Zambrano (26-1, 12 KOs) with a first round knockout in the main event of Premier Boxe dos Campeões em FS1 e Fox Deportes, Sábado night from Sam’s Town Live in Las Vegas.
There’s so many emotions going through my head right now, that I still can’t wrap how it feels to be a champion now,” said Marrero. “I won’t let it distract me, because I’ll fight whoever is the best in my weight class. I knew what kind of fighter I was going up against and I knew what had to be done. I was hungry
The fight ended abruptly as Marrero of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic threw a rock solid straight left hand that sent Lima, Peru’s Zambrano to the canvas, rendering him unable to stand and referee Vic Drakulich waved off the bout at 1:30 of the one and only round. Marrero extended a seven-fight win streak.
After being inactive for a year, of course my timing was a little off I am not happy at all with my performance,” said Zambrano. “This is a fight that was long awaited and I know Marrero has been eyeing me for a while, so it’s just unfortunate the way things ended.
I need to come back to the states and find sparring partners who can really help get me to the level that I want to be,” continued Zambrano. “For my record to be beaten at this point, its just really disappointing I have no other words to describe it.
The co-main event of the FS1 and FOX Deportes telecast ended in a sixth round TKO by hungry middleweight Nathaniel Gallimore (18-1-1, 15 KOs) of Kingston, Jamaica over Jeison Rosario (12-1, 9 KOs) de Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.Both fighters came out swinging in the first round with Rosario taking it on all three judge’s scorecards. Rosário, who had never gone past the fourth round started to slow down in the fifth as Gallimore took over.
I came into the fight confident then at some point something just happened, my body started to slow down,” disse Rosario. “I got a little tired and I started to fight a little sloppy. My plan is to go back and begin working on my jab consistently, that was my weakness during throughout the fight.
Gallimore came out of the corner in the sixth round determined to end the fight and succeeded. He dropped Rosario, but the Dominican rose to his feet, only to be dropped by a hard upper cut. No final, it was a left hook that sent Rosario to the canvas for a third and final time as referee Jay Nady waved off the fight at 2:15 of the sixth round.
He was fighting really dirty the whole fight, I think he knew he was hurt early on,” said Gallimore. “I knew I had a lot more experience so I just started breaking him down round by round and that’s what got me the win. This was the first time he went so many rounds, so I think it really just got to him to the point where he was just trying to hold on the last few rounds. I came to finish him and that’s what I did.
In the main event of the FS2 and FOX Deportes telecast, super lightweight prospect Ladarius Miller (13-1, 4 KOs) put on an impressive performance before stopping Jesus Gutierrez (14-2-1, 4 KOs) in the eighth and final round of their matchup.
I am extremely happy with my performance,” disse Miller. “This is the best Ladarius Miller I have shown. I was familiar with him as a fighter so I knew what I had to do in the ring. I thought I had him in the first round with the uppercut, but he was in a lot better shape than I thought. He took the punches but in the end I knew I would end up on top with the win. I’m just ready to get back in the ring and look ahead at my next challenge.
Miller out boxed Gutierrez with a combination of movement and lead left hands to take control of the first portion of the fight. Gutierrez attempted to close the distance between him and Miller, but was unable to muster up enough offense to slow down his opponent.
“Foi uma grande luta, I think we gave the fans what they wanted to see,” said Gutierrez. “I have nothing but respect for Ladarius, he came out hoje à noite and showed what he was made of. I kept the pressure on and I thought that would be enough to get him.
Several back and forth flurries defined the final two rounds of the fight before Miller was eventually able to use a big right hand to floor Gutierrez and force referee Russell Mora to halt the fight at 2:34 into the eighth round.
The opening bout on FS2 and FOX Deportes saw former world champion Layla McCarter(39-13-5, 10 KOs) dominate and eventually stop Szilvia Szabados (15-10, 6 KOs) in the seventh-round of their welterweight bout.
I saw early in the fight an opportunity, to go for the body and that’s what I did,” said McCarter. “She took a lot of damage and was a tough opponent. I felt I could have brought it a lot harder, I had such a great training camp I wish I just would have delivered the Layla i know I can bring.
Szabados came out aggressive from the start, but the veteran contender McCarter picked her off with power punches throughout the early rounds before Szabados began to wear down and become frustrated.
She was a great opponent for me, there are definitely a lot more things that I need to go back home and work on,” said Szabados. “Global, she came to win and she showed it. I brought a lot of toughness, but in the end she came out on top.
Referee Tony Weeks deducted a point from Szabados for blows to the back of the head early in round seven before a final flurry from McCarter forced the referee to stop the fight 56 segundos na rodada.

LUIS ARIAS VS. ARIF MAGOMEDOV USBA MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP ADDED TO ANDRE WARD VS. SERGEY KOVALEV PAY-PER-VIEW UNDERCARD

 

WARD-KOVALEV 2: “THE REMATCH” SET FOR Sábado, Junho 17, 2017 AT MANDALAY BAY EVENTS CENTER, LAS VEGAS

PRESENTED LIVE BY HBO PAY-PER-VIEW®

 

NOVA IORQUE, Nova Iorque (Abril 27, 2017) - USBA Middleweight Champion Luis "Cuba" Arias (17-0, 8 KOs) and prime contender Arif “The Predator” Magomedov (18-1, 11 KOs) will lead off the HBO Pay-Per-View lineup for Andre Ward vs. Sergey Kovalev 2: “The Rematch” on Sábado, Junho 17 no Centro de Eventos Mandalay Bay em Las Vegas. The championship event, presented by Corona Extra, will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View® começando no 9:00 p.m. E/6:00 p.m. PT.

 

Arias will be defending his title and undefeated record against one of the division’s top prospects. Magomedov has previously held the WBO’s Inter-Continental, Youth and NABO middleweight titles with only a single career loss coming against Andrew Hernandez for the vacant WBC USNBC middleweight title. Both fighters are eager to make an impression during their Las Vegas debut.

 

Finally my opportunity has come. The road to the big stage has been long but it’s here and I’m ready. It’s time to prove to the world that I am a threat to anyone in this division. I have been saying it for some time, my record shows it, but now I’ll get the chance to prove it,”Disse Arias. “I’m coming to make a statement on Junho 17! My opponent has been beat before and will be beat again. Thanks to Roc Nation Sports and my handlers for making this happen. A new star will be born.

 

“My goal is to be a world champion. I have been waiting for a fight like this. Arias is a tough opponent but I will be ready for him,” said Magomedov. “I am so excited to work with my new trainer, Marco Contreras and to fight on HBO Pay-Per-View. Be ready for ‘The Predator’ on Junho 17."

 

“If the heat between the Ward-Kovalev rivalry hasn’t been felt yet, then the cross promotional matchup of Roc Nation Sports’ Luis Arias and Main Events’ Arif Magomedov will certainly add fuel to the fire,” said Roc Nation President & Chief of Branding and Strategy Michael R. Yormark. “We are excited to have USBA Middleweight Champion Luis Arias make his Las Vegas debut and open the HBO Pay-Per-View telecast with a title defense on June 17 against Arif Magomedov.”

 

“Arif has been ready for this fight since the first Kovalev-Ward card in November. We are so pleased to finally give him this match-up,” said Main Events CEO Kathy Duva. “This is a huge opportunity for both Arif and Luis to test themselves on such a big stage. A win or a good showing by either fighter could catapult them in the rankings and put them on the map in this stacked middleweight division.”

 

USBA Middleweight Champion Luis "Cuba" Arias (17-0, 8 KOs), 26, takes great pride in his Cuban heritage. The Milwaukee-native chose his nickname in homage to his father’s homeland and its people, honoring them each time he steps into the ring. A former USA junior amateur standout, Arias made his professional debut on November 10, 2012 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, Califórnia, where he defeated Josh Thorpe via a four-round unanimous decision. Since joining Roc Nation Sports in February of 2015, Arias has advanced his undefeated record, paving way for his first title shot on August 20, 2016. In a homecoming at the Milwaukee Center, Arias captured the vacant USBA Middleweight title with a stoppage of Detroit’s Darryl Cunningham at the 1:11marca da quarta rodada. Arias successfully defended his title on March 31, 2017 at the Carnegie Music Hall in Pittsburgh, winning a 10-round unanimous decision over Virginia’s Scott Sigmon. Todos os três juízes marcou a luta 99-91 for Arias who put on a potent body punching display to settle a long-standing grudge with Sigmon.

Arif “The Predator” Magomedov (18-1, 11 KOs), 24, is a middleweight from Kizlyar, Rússia. He made his professional debut in January of 2013 when he earned a decision win over Ruslan Sirazhev in Russia. Magomedov would go on to finish 2013 com um estrondo, posting a record of 8-0 com 6 KOs and none of those six opponents made it past the third round. He made his US debut in April of 2015 when he unanimously outpointed tough journeyman Derrick Findley. Em maio de 2015, he earned one of the biggest wins of his career when he scored a first-round knockout over the always tough and durable Darnell Boone. In July of 2015, Magomedov cruised to a unanimous decision win over previously undefeated and rising prospect Derrick Webster. Em sua luta mais recente, Magomedov scored a second-round TKO over Chris Herrmann in Moscow, Rússia. Arif is co-promoted by Main Events and Shamo Boxing and managed by Egis Klimas.

Hometown favorite Pulev (24-1, 13 KOs) will make the first defense of the World Boxing Association (WBA) Inter-Continental heavyweight title he captured this past December. WBA No. 9 rated Pulev can position himself for another world title shot against the winner of Anthony Joshua e Wladimir Klitschko, who handed Pulev his only pro loss in their 2014 Federação Internacional de Boxe (IBF) luta pelo título.
Kevin Johnson is a good boxer who will give everything but he will not succeed,” Pulev said at today’s press conference. “My goal is to become World Champion. I know a loss will set me back a long way, but I’m confident in my abilities. My opponent is an experienced fighter who will be difficult to breakdown, but I’ve prepared for that. Na Sexta-Feira, I want to pit on another great show for the Bulgarian people and then, I want my shot at the world title.
Johnson (30-7-1, 14 KOs), fighting out of Lawrenceville, Georgia, has fought reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) campeão peso pesado Anthony Joshuathe only fighter to stop Johnsonformer unified world heavyweight titlist Tyson Fury, o ex-desafiante ao título mundial Manuel Charr and current European champion Martelo Christian. Em 2009, Johnson lost his lone world title fight by unanimous decision to undefeated WBC champion Vitali Klitschko, extending him the full 12-rounds.
If Pulev thinks he’s in for an easy night,” Johnson commented, “he’s got another thing coming. I’m not Samuel Peter. I’m not here to lie down and collect a check. I’m here to cause an upset. I’m going to take this boy to school and show the Bulgarians what a Jersey boy can do. I’m going to give him an ass whopping na sexta-feira, the likes of which nobody has seen before. We’ve both been through the same obstacles and we’ve both fought for the world titles before, but only one of us is going to get that second shot, and that’s going to be me.
The woman here are very beautiful and I’m looking to get married. No Sábado, I’m going to be leaving with a new belt and new wife!”
It’s a great weekend for heavyweight boxing,” promotor Nisse Sauerland adicionado. “Kubrat is the mandatory challenger to face the winner of Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko for the IBF World title. Either they fight him or they vacate the belt. He’s fought hard to get back into this position and he’s risking it all in this fight against a rejuvenated Kevin Johnson. Kevin also knows what’s at stake and what a win would mean for his career. Both men have been training hard and are ready to give it their all in the ring Friday night.
Additional PPV fights are scheduled on FITE TV on a weekly basis.

WBC HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION DEONTAY WILDER MEDIA CONFERENCE CALL HIGHLIGHTS IN ADVANCE OF ANTHONY JOSHUA vs. Wladimir Klitschko

American Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder hosted a media conference call to give his thoughts no sábado de heavyweight blockbuster between undefeated IBF Champion Anthony Joshua and long-reigning kingpin Wladimir Klitschko live on SHOWTIME® (4:15 p.m. E/1:15 p.m. PT) from sold-out Wembley Stadium in London.

Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs), who won his WBC belt in January 2015 on SHOWTIME and has since made five defenses, will serve as an analyst for Sky Sports Box Office for Joshua vs. Klitschko.

The British sensation Joshua (18-0, 18 KOs) and Klitschko (64-4, 54 KOs) will unify the heavyweight division as they meet for Joshua’s IBF World Championship and the vacant WBA World Championship in front of record-setting 90,000 fans at Britain’s largest stadium.

Here is what Wilder had to say on the call na segunda-feira:

Deontay WILDER:

“I love this fight for these guys. I love it for the sport of boxing. The fans seem to be well in-tune with it and I think this is a super fight for the heavyweight division.

“I can’t wait for it. I can’t wait to see what happens and hopefully those guys go in healthy and come out the same way. This is a very dangerous sport, especially when you’re trying to perform and put on a show.”

On what Wilder sees as vulnerabilities in Joshua…

“There’s a lot of flaws that Joshua has, but Joshua is still young in the game as well. A lot of people look at Joshua and they’re going off of his physique and they’re going off of the hype that their countryman has brought to them.

“If you really look deep down and soul search and look at his resume, with all of the guys he’s fought … that sometimes makes a person look busier than what he is. There’s a lot of flaws in all of us though, para ser honesto. Nobody will ever be perfect in the ring. We only try to be our best and that’s the only thing you should go off of.

“I am looking forward to this fight and I can’t wait. I want Klitschko to come in and fight. You can always be hyped for a big fight but it’s all going to boil down to what fighter is going to bring what to the fight. I think he’s ready and he’s going to show a lot of things. He’s going to teach Joshua a lot of different things in the ring, também, and we’ll see if Joshua has any flaws or not.”

On potentially fighting the winner later this year…

“Hopefully. There are a lot of people that are involved in this. If it were just solely up to me then I’d be 1,000 percent confident, but it’s not just me. That’s what the fans want. I’ve been wanting to give the fans what they want my entire career. Infelizmente, I am one of those fighters that’s always getting the short end of the stick. I only can work with what I can work with.

“I am very confident that I am the best in this division. I am very confident that I will unify this division. I am very confident that I will retire on top, undefeated as well. I’m just waiting for my moment. I’ve been sitting patiently all of this time, even in the start of my career and I’m sitting patient now. I’m just looking forward to my turn.”

On why it’s important for him to be ringside in London…

“When you have guys that are competing against each other at the top, it’s only right for me to be there. I’m not just going out there to be on Sky Sports, I am for sure going there to scout. All the other heavyweights come to my fights. They’re not just there to be a fan. They’re there to scout and look for different openings and certain signs.

“I am definitely going over to scout. And maybe we can make a mega-unification bout.

“I want to go get [Joseph] Parker. Parker doesn’t have an opponent right now. I’m fresh. I’m ready and what would be better than me and Parker fighting for the unification and then have another unification where winner takes all at the end of the year? Em seguida, 2018 you can start off the year with nothing but mandatories.

“The heavyweight division is getting exciting. This is the heavyweight division, and we’re already coming out of that dark place and we finally got light. Don’t take it back. Don’t go backwards when we’re moving so freshly forward. Com isso, I want to move it more forward. I want to give the fans what they want, and they want a unification. They want one champion and I’m trying to make that happen. So here I am Joseph Parker.”

On breaking down Joshua-Klitschko…

“With Klitschko I definitely feel that the teachings of Emanuel Steward are lacking a little bit, but he’s not to blame. Steward was a very, very smart trainer. The things that he could see and the things that he can get in the heads of the fighters, that was unbelievable. He wasn’t a great trainer for no reason and that’s when I thought Klitschko was the best when he had Emanuel in his corner. Not only when he’s inside of the ring but when he’s on the outside too. Agora, I just feel since he’s gone, it’s more about what Wladimir wants to do, not what his trainers see.

“With Joshua, he’s got the height and he’s got the power. Na divisão dos pesos pesados, you don’t need skills. As long as you have the power, that’s what makes up the heavyweight division. You’re in the game once you’ve got that power….They’re going to have to play a forward fight to feel a little bit of each other out.

“If Joshua wants to be successful, he’s definitely going to have to move and take angles and be smart with Klitschko. Because Klitschko is very smart, he’s been around the block, he’s got an excellent jab, and he’s going to set Joshua up. His smartness is going to play in a lot.

“Joshua is not as flexible. I don’t think he’s super athletic and doesn’t have that much coordination because of the stiffness. But he definitely has a great shot in this fight and I’d love to see what happens, and hopefully everything comes through with having a mega-fight at the end of the year.”

On Klitschko’s loss to Fury…

"Klitschko didn’t lose by not being able to compete with Tyson Fury, or do the things he had to do. He lost because he didn’t throw no damn punches. I want him to fight in this fight. I don’t want him to hold back, because Fury was bigger than him or this and that. Forget all of that. You got to go in there and fight. You’re the champ. You don’t care about nobody being bigger than you. You go in there and you forget all of that and defend your title because you’re the king and you’re not going to let nobody take it… And that’s how he should come in there.

“There’s a time and a place to be nice. You can’t always be nice. You’ve got to go in there and let them know ‘I’m still a monster, I’m still a beast, I’m still that lion and I’ll eat you up alive when I get you in there.’ And that’s just what he has to come to bring to the table.

“I’m so ready for this fight. I’m looking forward to what’s after this to come. I’m looking forward to unifying this division and bringing it back to America – where it once was and where it’s always going to remain once I bring all the belts. It’s going to be back, Eu prometo a você que.

“Age is only but a number and if you feel like you still have it in you and have confidence in yourself, then that’s what you’re going to do. The mind is a powerful thing to lose. And when you lose your mind, you lose your body.

“With Klitschko, he feels like he’s dedicated himself back to the sport and that’s why he says he’s obsessed. He’s obsessed with retaining his titles, he’s obsessed with rising in boxing again. He’s like a new fighter. He needed that loss to Tyson Fury because he forgot to be humble. He forgot about that.

“Now that he’s rebuilt himself, he’s got that hunger, that fire. No final do dia, all that matters is on the night of the fight. He can come to us with another Tyson Fury fight, talking about height and weight, or he can bring that Klitschko like we’ve always seen with the jabs and setting up with the right hands… We’ll see what happens.”

On his prediction for the winner and why…

“I’m going to continue with my statement as I’ve been saying it. My heart is for Joshua, but my mind is for Klitschko. My heart is for Joshua because I would love to fight him – I think that would be a mega-fight. Even though Joshua is fighting Klitschko, people are still talking to this day about a Wilder and Joshua fight. It’s almost demanded. If this kid beats Klitschko it’s like the only fight he can have is me, because it’s been so demanded.

“My mind goes to Klitschko, because he’s very smart. People talk about age, mas como eu disse, age can play an advantage too. Klitschko has seen every style there is…And when you see it again, you know how to handle it and adapt to it. You know what you got to do.

“He knew what he had to do against Fury, he just didn’t pull the trigger because he was scared of being punished. That was his fault. Now that’s a shame on him. Now he’s coming back for a second time for a title, so if he does it again, he’s going to need to give it up. For those reasons, my heart goes to Joshua but my mind goes to Klitschko.”
