KEITH THURMAN

 

“It feels great to be in this big fight. This is what we’ve been dreaming of. It feels like my destiny. When you put so much hard work into the sport, everyone knows you’re planting a seed. You have to watch it grow and nurture it before it starts to bear fruit.

 

“Brooklyn has one of a kind fight fans. The history of this city and the history of boxing in this city is exceptional. The appreciation they have for fighters is one of a kind. It’s always a blessing to perform for these fans.

 

“I expect the best of Danny Garcia. This is the biggest fight of either of our careers. I saw the best of Shawn Porter, but Keith Thurman was able to rise to the top once again.

 

“When you look at the facts and our records, it doesn’t get bigger than this. There’s no comparison to my other fights. This is the biggest of my career.

 

“The ultimate goal is to unify the division. It’s a blessing right now to have two undefeated world champions. These titles have only been brought together a few times in history. Είναι μια μεγάλη ευκαιρία. The winner is going to be that man to beat at 147-pounds.

 

“I believe that we will see the next superstar in the welterweight division after we unify these titles. Whoever becomes the undisputed welterweight champion of the world, will be on another level. We’re going to take our first step toward that Σάββατο νύχτα.

 

“I want to touch as many households as I can touch. I want the kids who come from the struggle; I want them to see me. They have to learn that they’re going to earn their stripes in life from training hard in the gym.”

 

Ντάνι Γκαρσία

 

“I’ve trained hard for this fight and I’m ready. Σάββατο νύχτα, I’ll be the new unified champion of the world.

 

“The atmosphere at Barclays Center is amazing. I’ve always requested to fight here and I’m glad they accept me. I can’t wait to fight in front of those great fans again.

 

“I’m prepared for the best Keith Thurman. I’m ready to make adjustments and fight like a true champion and get the victory.

 

“I’ve been training a long time for this fight. I felt great in the gym and I was really comfortable the whole time. I’ve had no struggle to make weight. I feel strong and I’ve had no injuries. That’s a perfect camp. We train hard, we train smart and we’re prepared for Σάββατο νύχτα.

 

“I always train to impress. I don’t need to add any extra pressure just because it’s a big audience. I have to go in there and keep my composure and be the same Danny Garcia that I always am.

 

“We just have to stay focused Σάββατο νύχτα. We’re just worried about my game plan for the fight. There’s no distractions for me. I think everything will go smoothly.

 

“There’s always been some tough fights in the legacies of other great fighters. Each fight is a learning experience. Everything in my career has led me to this fight.

 

“People want to see the best fight the best. This is my chance to prove it to the world that I’m one of the best fighters in the world.

 

“I’m definitely a better fighter than Keith Thurman. He’s never been in the ring with a guy like me. Σάββατο νύχτα, I’m going to prove it. I’m the better counter-puncher, I’m sharper and I’ll prove it Σάββατο τη νύχτα. "

 

ERICKSON LUBIN

 

“It feels great to be here. Training camp was amazing. We had lots of sparring and made lots of improvements from my last fight. I feel strong and I can’t wait until Σάββατο νύχτα.

 

“I don’t let anything get to me. I know what I can do. I’m going to go in there confident and be dominant. I’m going to be aware of everything and keep my mind sharp in the ring.

 

“My coach does the studying of the tape but I know he’s a strong Mexican power-puncher. We know he’s going to be aggressive, but we’re ready for any style he comes with Σάββατο νύχτα.

 

“For every opponent, the game plan is different. Έχουμε ένα σχέδιο το παιχνίδι, but we’ll be ready to adjust. Στο τέλος της ημέρας, I have to go in there and win, and win impressively.

 

“Being on this card is a wonderful feeling. I get to open up for this tremendous fight that I think is going to be the Fight of the Year. I’m going to set the bar real high.

 

“I’m coming for that number one spot Σάββατο νύχτα. Μετά από αυτό, I become the mandatory for Jermell Charlo. I’m going to win this fight in spectacular fashion, mark my words.”

 

JORGE COTA

 

“I know that it’s been a long lay-off but I’ve been staying in the gym and staying ready. I don’t think I’ll have any ring rust once I get in there.

 

“I’m going to take it round-by-round and see what he brings into the ring. I’m going to make adjustments off of what I see. I’ll assess the situation and take it on from there.

 

“I have a lot of motivation coming into this fight and I’m ready to move a step closer to a world title. This opportunity is something that I won’t let slip by.

 

“I know I have a very tough opponent in front of me, but I am too strong and I will be too good Σάββατο τη νύχτα. "

 

Andrzej Fonfara

 

“I got some rest after my last fight and get myself back together. The decision was to change trainers to Virgil Hunter. I’m happy with that decision and I had a great camp.

 

“I have more focus during this camp. It’s just my family and the gym. The same thing every day. I’m in possibly the best shape I’ve been in my life.

 

“I have a great jab that I have to use. I think I’m a stronger and more physical fighter than Chad Dawson. I know how to box inside and outside. Dawson has a lot of experience but I know I will be ready for anything he brings.

 

“There are a lot of Polish fans I’m expecting to see Σάββατο νύχτα. I know that Brooklyn has a large population of Polish boxing fans. I’m ready for that feeling. I’m back and I’m going after a world title.”

 

HEATHER HARDY

 

“I’ve had my eyes on this fight date for a while. I knew that I had to get on this card. There had to be at least one woman representing our sport on this card.

 

“The women have to work three times as hard just to get to this point. Girls train just as hard as men and we’re working towards getting our due.

 

“We don’t just represent ourselves when we get in the ring, we represent our sport. There’s always an incredible amount of pressure, no matter what the stage is.

 

“Just before this fight camp I was coming off of an eight-week MMA camp. Thinking about a girl who can only hit me with two hands, I’m not worried at all.

 

“I’m excited to get back in the ring and put on a show for my loyal and dedicated fans who love to watch me fight.”

 

MARIO BARRIOS

 

“I’m very grateful to have the opportunity to be on this card. We’re more than prepared for this fight. We have a tough opponent but I’m ready to take everything we’ve done in the gym and put it into the ring.

 

“My team has watched some tape on my opponent. I personally don’t like to watch too much of their tapes. Everyone fights different opponents differently. We came up with a game plan for this fight and that’s what we’ve been working on all camp.

 

“A win means everything to me. It’s going to help me climb the ladder and help me take another step in my career.

 

“I love fighting in New York. The people in this city are incredible and they come out for big fights like this. It’s huge to be on this stage and I’m going to take advantage of it.”

 

SERGEY LIPINETS

 

“The bright lights have never scared me away. I’m more motivated by the importance of this card. All I care about is what happens in the fight. I don’t see any distractions. I’m focused on my opponent.

 

“I prepare for every fight like it’s for a world title. It’s the same system for getting ready. But I am aware that people have a lot of tape on me now, so my team has been working on bringing something different to each fight.

 

“As of now, I’m the IBF mandatory, but I’m not looking past Clarence Booth. I want to take care of this fight and then move on to whoever is holding that belt in June or July. Θέλω μια πάλη παγκόσμιου τίτλου επόμενο.

 

“I respect every man who steps into that squared-circle. Clarence Booth is a great fighter and I respect him for getting in the ring with me. He’s in my way and I plan on putting on a great performance.”

 

CLARENCE BOOTH

 

“Being in camp with Keith Thurman is like being in the school of boxing. We spar, get some good rounds in and he always gives me good advice.

 

“I’m prepared for anything Σάββατο νύχτα. I’ve watched him a little bit. I see he’s a big puncher, but I’m a big puncher too. I’m ready to get to work.

 

“I can do it all in the ring. I can brawl, box and adjust to my opponent. Είμαι ενθουσιασμένος για αυτό τον αγώνα Σάββατο.

 

“This is a tremendous opportunity for me and I’m just excited to get in the ring and take advantage of it Σάββατο τη νύχτα. "

 

RICHARDSON HITCHINS

 

“I’m excited to make my pro debut. I’ve fought in the Golden Gloves at Barclays Center before so there’s no pressure heading into this one.

 

“I’ve had a long amateur career and I think all of that prepared me for this moment. Everything I’ve been doing since I was 13 has led to this.

 

“I don’t know too much about my opponent but I’m going to go in there and adapt. We’ve trained to be prepared for this.

 

“I’ve always seen myself fighting on big cards and one day I’ll be the headliner. We’re finally on the right track towards what I’m looking to accomplish.”

Σε συν-χαρακτηρισμένη περίοδος, Potapov, currently training at the Kronk Gym, will challenge Cleveland’s Antonio Nieves (17-0-2, 9 KOs) in a 10-round fight for his NABO Bantamweight Championship.

Παρακάτω είναι αυτό που οι μαχητές είχαν να πουν:

Claressa Shields:

“I made history in the amateurs, so it’s very special to me to be making history in the pros too and also doing it so close to home in Detroit.

“For this fight, I did more road work and also worked hard on my fundamentals. With my coach, Jason Crutchfield, in my corner he knows my weaknesses and strong points, so we are strengthening all weaknesses.

“I know that Szabados has a lot of body endurance and a ‘no quit’ mindset in the ring. She has a lot more professional experience than me and is a huge step up for me, as it is only my second professional fight.

“When I was an amateur, I followed women’s professional boxing the best I could. I thought a lot of women weren’t given equal opportunity. I told myself that for women’s boxing to grow, I’d have to go pro after winning the Olympics again. I felt in my heart that I would be respected and given a chance. I take advantage of every opportunity, so as of now, I feel women’s boxing is a sport that is going to be around for a long time.”

Νικολάι Potapov:

“Nieves is good fighter, and he’s ranked in the top 10. I want to fight the best available in my division. A win over Nieves would be huge for my career and would hopefully lead to a shot at a title in the near future. I can’t lose on Μάρτιος 10.

“I trained hard to go the distance of 10 γύρους, but Kronk’s philosophy is not to leave it in the hands of the judges.

“I am thankful to Showtime and Salita Promotions for giving me another opportunity to fight on such a prestigious network. I am focused on bringing home the victory after spending time in Detroit training at the legendary Kronk Gym. "

Γκάρι Ράσελ, Jr.-Oscar Escandon Featherweight Title Match Postponed After Escandon Suffers Injury in Training

The Card Will Be Rescheduled for A Future Date
LAS VEGAS (Φεβρουάριος 28, 2017) – The featherweight championship match between Gary Russell Jr. and Oscar Escandon, προγραμματιστεί για Σάββατο, Μάρτιος 11 at the MGM National Harbor in Maryland, has been postponed after Escandon was injured in training, according to Escandon’s promoter Sampson Lewkowicz.
Oscar suffered an injury to his back in training and he’ll be ready to go in April,” Lewkowicz said. “He’s very sorry for the delay in the fight, but these things happen in boxing. He’s really looking forward to facing Gary Russell, Jr., but he wants to be completely healthy when they do meet.

We’re working with the venue and the network to find the earliest date that we can reschedule the show,” είπε ο Τομ Μπράουν του TGB Προσφορές. “I feel terrible for the fighters who have been training so hard and now have to wait.

SUGAR RAY LEONARD TO JOIN SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING ON CBS BROADCAST TEAM FOR DANNY GARCIA vs. KEITH THURMAN WELTERWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP UNIFICATION EVENT ON SATURDAY, ΜΑΡΤΙΟΥ 4

image1.JPG

 

Former Undisputed Welterweight Champion to Provide Unique Insight as Garcia and Thurman Join Boxing Royalty in 147-Pound Unification

 

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, presented by Premier Boxing Champions, Live on CBS from 9 - 11 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ / 6 - 8 μ.μ. PT from Barclays Center In Brooklyn

 

ΝΕΑ ΥΟΡΚΗ (Φεβρουάριος. 28, 2017) – Boxing Hall of Famer and former undisputed welterweight world champion Sugar Ray Leonard will join the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS broadcast team on Saturday, Μάρτιος 4 for GARCIA vs. THURMAN. The event will be headlined by the welterweight world championship unification bout between undefeated champions Ντάνι Γκαρσία και Keith Θέρμαν. GARCIA vs. THURMAN is presented by Premier Boxing Champions and will take place at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, home of BROOKLYN BOXING.

 

The live broadcast will be produced by SHOWTIME Sports® for the CBS Television Network and will air live on CBS from 9-11 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ / 6-8 μ.μ. PT. Γκαρσία εναντίον. Thurman will be the first world title unification bout in any weight division on live network television in over two decades and just the second primetime boxing presentation on CBS in nearly 40 χρόνια. The first was headlined by a thrilling welterweight world championship fight between Thurman and Shawn Porter, ένα 2016 Fight of the Year candidate and one of the most watched boxing events of the year.

 

With SHOWTIME boxing analyst and active prizefighter Paul Malignaggi scheduled to fight in London that evening, the broadcast seat opened up for Leonard. He will join SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING host Brian Custer, play-by-play voice Mauro Ranallo, International Boxing Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein and Sports Emmy® Award-winning reporter Jim Gray Σάββατο.

 

Leonard made his professional boxing debut on CBS in 1977, less than one year after he won gold at the ‘76 Olympics in Montreal as part of what is considered the greatest American boxing team in Olympic history. He served as a boxing analyst for the network in the early 1980s during a temporary retirement, calling fights alongside CBS boxing announcer Tim Ryan and Hall of Fame trainer and analyst Gil Clancy, before eventually resuming his professional boxing career. Ο Μάρτιος 4event will reunite Leonard with former CBS producer and current SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Executive Producer David Dinkins Jr., and director Bob Dunphy, the son of legendary boxing broadcaster Don Dunphy.

 

A five-division titlist and one of the most decorated boxers of all-time, Leonard brings unique perspective to the broadcast booth having been in a similar situation to Thurman and Garcia more than 35 χρόνια πριν. Γκαρσία, the WBC 147-pound titleholder, and Thurman, his WBA counterpart, will unify the exact same titles that Leonard (WBC) and fellow Hall of Famer Τόμας Χερνς (WBA) unified in their classic 1981 Καταπολέμηση της Χρονιάς.

 

Heading into the Μάρτιος 4 unification, Garcia and Thurman own similar records to those of Leonard and Hearns prior to their ‘81 showdown. Thurman is 27-0 and Garcia is 33-0, while Leonard was 30-1 and Hearns was 32-0. And like Leonard and Hearns, Thurman and Garcia are in their 20’s and their respective primes as they approach the career-defining fight.

 

I’m thrilled to be working with the SHOWTIME team and to be part of the CBS broadcast of this great event,” said Leonard. “I’ve watched Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman develop as young men and mature both inside and outside of the ring. Now they are both champions facing their biggest test to determine the man to beat in the welterweight division. This fight reminds me of my incredible bout against Tommy Hearns. There’s nothing better in boxing than when champions meet to unify a division, and I truly believe this fight could go either way. I’m so excited and I can’t wait to be ringside αυτό το Σάββατο at Barclay’s Center.

 

“When Ray and I last spoke in January, we’d reminisced briefly about our work in boxing together and we’d promised to get together soon,” said Dinkins. “Who knew it would be to work on the biggest fight scheduled for 2017? I’m thrilled that Ray is available to join our SHOWTIME broadcast team on Μάρτιος 4. His experience in fighting on the big stage for high-stakes will help put Garcia vs. Thurman into its proper context.

 

«Γκαρσία εναντίον. Thurman is a battle of undefeated champions,” Dinkins continued. “The winner of this fight will be the No. 1 welterweight in the world. Ray has been there. His classic battles with Wilfred Benitez, Roberto Duran and Thomas Hearns at welterweight made him a legend. It is only fitting that he will be ringside when a new star is born.”

 

Leonard was down on the scorecards when he knocked out Hearns in the 14ου round of the 1981 πάλη. It was only the second world championship unification match in welterweight history. Garcia and Thurman will face off in the 10ου unification in division history, and only the third between undefeated world champions.

 

After the Hearns fight, Leonard made one more defense of his welterweight belts before eventually moving up to challenge Marvin Hagler στο middleweight. Leonard has served as a TV personality and boxing analyst since retiring from the ring in 1997, including a stint on CBS.

Την Παρασκευή Μαρτίου 3RD Ο Ντέιλ πρόκειται να αγωνιστεί στον πιο σκληρό αγώνα του μέχρι σήμερα, ένα εξάρι στρογγυλεμένο στην κρεμάστρα 34 Club στο Λίβερπουλ, εναντίον του Μάικλ Κέλι του Μπέλφαστ, ένας αποδεδειγμένος αγωνιστής του Πρωταθλήματος, που τον περασμένο χρόνο πολέμησε τον Γάλλο Mohamed Larabi για τον τίτλο του WBF International και πιο πρόσφατα τον Σκωτό Lee McAllister για τη ζώνη WBF Inter-Continental, καθώς και διαγωνίστηκε σε τεράστιες τηλεοπτικές εκδηλώσεις στη Ρωσία και τη Σουηδία.

 

Αήττητος σε τέσσερις εξόδους μέχρι σήμερα, δύο με πρόωρες διακοπές, εναντίον του Αλεξέις Νικιτένκο, το Μάιο 2015 και τον Τζακ Τζόνσον τον Δεκέμβριο 2016, και δύο από σταθερά σημεία απόφαση, Marty Kayes τον Απρίλιο 2016 και τον Phil Townley τον Ιούνιο του ίδιου έτους, Ο Ντέιλ έχει ήδη τραβήξει τα βλέμματα σε μερικά από τα μεγαλύτερα ονόματα του αθλήματος, συμπεριλαμβανομένου του δύο φορές Παγκόσμιου Πρωταθλητή Amir Khan.

 

Στην πραγματικότητα ευγενική προσφορά του κ. Khan και της ομάδας του, Ο Ντέιλ κέρδισε σταθερά τη θέση του στα βιβλία της Ιστορίας του αθλήματος, ως ο πρώτος νικητής ενός διαγωνισμού επαγγελματικής πυγμαχίας στο Πακιστάν, μετά την εξαιρετική νίκη του επί του Phil Townley του Μπέλφαστ τον περασμένο Ιούνιο.

 

Περισσότερα για αυτό αργότερα, καθώς αυτή τη στιγμή νομίζω ότι ήρθε η ώρα να συνεχίσω τη συνέντευξη.

 

Gianluca

Σε ευχαριστώ που μίλησες μαζί μου σήμερα Ντέιλ, ενώ προφανώς αυτή η συνέντευξη αφορά την επαγγελματική σας καριέρα, ειδικά τον επερχόμενο αγώνα εναντίον του Michael Kelly στις 3 Μαρτίου, Θα ήθελα να ξεκινήσω τη συνέντευξη με το να μιλάς στους αναγνώστες λίγο για τη μη επαγγελματική σου πυγμαχία, ειδικά την ερασιτεχνική σου καριέρα, που κατάλαβα ότι ξεκίνησε με μια νίκη επί ενός από τα κορυφαία παιδιά της κατηγορίας εκείνη την εποχή.

 

Dayle

Ξεκίνησα την πυγμαχία σε ηλικία 14, μετά από προπόνηση για περισσότερο από ένα χρόνο, είχα μερικά διασυλλογικά γεγονότα πριν κάνω τον πρώτο μου ερασιτεχνικό αγώνα που ήταν σε σύντομο χρονικό διάστημα για να εκπροσωπήσει το Λίβερπουλ την πόλη μου, που ήταν εναντίον του νούμερο ένα της Ουαλίας εκείνη την εποχή στην πατρίδα του, Ρέξχαμ.

 

Πάντα θυμάμαι τον προπονητή μου να λέει ότι κανείς δεν θέλει να πολεμήσει αυτό το παλικάρι, οπότε πάτε να τον νοκ-άουτ, και στον δεύτερο γύρο αφού τον έβαλε κάτω δύο φορές ήδη, ο διαιτητής δεν είχε άλλη επιλογή να το σταματήσει.

 

Πολλοί άνθρωποι μου είπαν ότι είχα ένα λαμπρό μέλλον στο άθλημα, αλλά η εστίασή μου εκείνη την εποχή ήταν να γίνω επαγγελματίας ποδοσφαιριστής που κατέληξε σε έναν πολύ άσχημο τραυματισμό και μετά 18 μήνες φυσικής κατάστασης και αποκατάστασης στον τραυματισμό μου.

 

Τελικά επέστρεψα στην πυγμαχία για φυσική κατάσταση και αμέσως ξανά ερωτεύτηκα το άθλημα, Μετά από μόλις λίγους μήνες προπόνησης, πήρα έναν αγώνα με λευκούς γιακά στο Νιούκαστλ.

 

Αφού το κέρδισα, πήρα πολλά καλά σχόλια και συνειδητοποίησα ότι πρέπει να αρχίσω να το παίρνω σοβαρά και να δω πόσο μακριά μπορώ να φτάσω στο άθλημα, Κέρδισα τη Βόρεια περιοχή, Οι βρετανικοί και ευρωπαϊκοί τίτλοι στη σκηνή χωρίς άδεια κατάλαβαν ότι έπρεπε να στραφώ στην επαγγελματική πλευρά του παιχνιδιού.

 

 

Gianluca

Η επαγγελματική σας σταδιοδρομία ξεκίνησε καλά, με νίκη επί του Λετονού Aleksejs Nikitenko, πρώτον πώς ένιωσε η πυγμαχία στις επαγγελματικές τάξεις για πρώτη φορά και δεύτερον μπορείτε να πείτε την άποψή σας για τον αγώνα σας παρακαλώ?

 

Dayle

Παρόλο που είχα πάει στο ρινγκ πολλές φορές στο παρελθόν, Το επαγγελματικό μου ντεμπούτο με είχε πιο νευρικό από κάθε άλλο αγώνα, αλλά η αίσθηση δεν θα μπορούσε να είναι καλύτερη.

 

Ο αγώνας δεν κράτησε πολύ 1 λεπτό νομίζω ότι πριν ο διαιτητής έπρεπε να παρέμβει και να σταματήσει τον αγώνα που οδήγησε στην πρώτη μου νίκη στις επαγγελματικές τάξεις και είναι μια μέρα που δεν θα ξεχάσω ποτέ.

 

 

Gianluca

Πέρασε σχεδόν ένας χρόνος πριν επιστρέψεις στο ρινγκ, εναντίον του Marty Kayes τον Απρίλιο του περασμένου έτους, αλλά ακόμα και με τόσο μεγάλο διάστημα μεταξύ των αγώνων ήσουν σε κορυφαία φόρμα, νικώντας τον Marty στα σημεία. Πώς καταφέρατε να διατηρήσετε το κίνητρο κατά τη διάρκεια αυτής της περιόδου και ξανά, παρακαλώ δώστε στους αναγνώστες την άποψή σας για τον αγώνα?

 

Dayle

Ήταν πολύ δύσκολο γιατί περνούσα πολλές επιπλοκές με τον υποστηρικτή μου εκείνη τη στιγμή και δεν μπορούσα να αγωνιστώ και σκέφτηκα ότι μπορεί να μην ξαναπαλέψω ποτέ, αλλά μετά από μεγάλο χρονικό διάστημα, Ο αδερφός μου με βοήθησε και με τσάκωσε.

 

Ήξερα πολλά για τον Marty και ήξερα ότι δεν θα ήταν εύκολο να γνωρίζω πόσο έμπειρος ήταν, αλλά ήθελα να δείξω σε όλους ότι ακόμα και με όλο αυτό το διάστημα πόσο καλός μπορώ να είμαι και πήρα τη νίκη και ένιωσα ότι δεν είχα ποτέ χρόνο έξω από το ρινγκ.

 

 

Gianluca

Ο επόμενος αγώνας σας, εναντίον του Φιλ Τάουνλι, ήρθε μόλις λίγους μήνες αργότερα και ακόμη περισσότερο ήταν στο εξωτερικό σε ένα ιστορικό γεγονός, η πρώτη εκδήλωση Pro Boxing που έγινε ποτέ στο Πακιστάν. Μπορείτε παρακαλώ να πείτε στους αναγνώστες πρώτα πώς προέκυψε αυτό και επίσης να πείτε στους αναγνώστες όχι μόνο για τον αγώνα αλλά και για ολόκληρη την εμπειρία?

 

Dayle

Δεν πίστευα ότι ήταν αλήθεια όταν έμαθα για πρώτη φορά για το Πακιστάν. I had just come back from my holiday and next minute am on the phone to Amir Khan’s uncle about a possible fight in Pakistan.

 

Even though I knew I wasn’t at my fittest or at my preferred weight I couldn’t miss out on the opportunity so I stepped up two weight classes just for the opportunity.

 

Within a couple of hours of the fight getting offered to me I was in Bolton at the Amir Khan Academy filling out all my paper work and my visa and literally three days later was on a plane going to fight in Pakistan.

 

On arriving in Pakistan I was treated like royalty, my bags where collected and carried for me. I was greeted by the Pakistan Army and Police and escorted to my hotel.

 

I could never thank the people enough from Pakistan on how they made my time there so welcome, it’s a great country with great people even when I fought they where screaming my name, so much so that I thought I was back in Liverpool with a home crowd.

 

It was one of my most amazing experiences of my life and one that I will have for the rest of my life as I made history as the very first professional boxer to fight and win on Pakistan soil.

 

 

Gianluca

Your fourth fight, against Jak Johnson back in December and on home turf once more, was both dramatic and I would expect anti-climatic for you. I was there so know all that occurred but could you enlighten the readers about the dramas that unfolded that night from your view please?

 

Dayle

If you’ve seen the whole fight it looks like I wasn’t too happy at the end but that’s because am a fighter and all I want to do is fight.

 

I trained so hard and felt in the best shape of my life so when the fight was over In 30 seconds it annoyed me but that’s just something I have to deal with its boxing and fights can be over with one shot.

 

After watching it back I was happy with my performance and I’m blessed with punching power that can pop someone’s shoulder out of its socket with one shot.

 

 

Gianluca

Στο 3rd March you’ll be in action once more at the Hanger 34 Λίβερπουλ, where you are due to face Ireland’s Michael Kelly. Do you know much about Michael and his fighting style and also how do you see this fight panning out?

 

Dayle

I know about the people he’s fought and what he’s achieved I know it will be a tough fight but that’s why my team and me asked for the fight.

 

I don’t watch my opponents on old fights because they could turn up an box a completely different fight so I like to figure them out when am in there.

 

I think it will be an entertaining fight for people to watch, but I see it ending with a knockout, if I hit anybody at welterweight with one of my power shots in eight-ounce gloves I will be shocked to see anybody still standing there in front of me.

 

 

Gianluca

So out of the fights you’ve had to date, whether pro or not, which has been your favourite and why?

 

Dayle

My favourite has to be Pakistan making history and challenging myself, it was a big risk stepping up two weight divisions but I like a challenge and this is why I’m in this fight game, and also boxing in front of two time World Champion Amir Khan and getting great feedback from him, you can’t ask for anything better than that.

 

 

Gianluca

How would you describe your fighting style?

 

Dayle

My fighting style I believe is different to the average British style boxer which I think makes me stand out more, I’m a counter fighter with power, I’m a southpaw and I know I can be a nightmare for any boxer out there on the boxing circuit.

 

 

Gianluca

Should you be successful on the 3rd March, you will be unbeaten in five, whilst perhaps it’s still a bit early to be thinking of Championship accolades, I’m sure that you must have been thinking about opportunities like that already, as such could you please outline your future plans for the readers.

 

Dayle

I’m in the sport to win titles, it’s a dream of mine that I know I can achieve and when the opportunity comes I will take it.

 

I will keep climbing the ladder winning fights and when my team think the time is right, I will get my title shot and I will become Champion.

 

 

 

Gianluca

I’m sure you must have been an avid watcher of pro boxing even as a youngster, as such my next question is which fighters, past or present, have had the most influence on you and your career?

 

Dayle

Growing up from a young age I used to watch videos of Roy Jones Jr, I love his cockiness and confidence.

 

I always wanted to be an entertainer and give people the feeling I had when watching him.

 

My favourite fighters that I like to watch a lot of now is Floyd Mayweather, Άντριαν Μπρόνερ, Chris Eubank Jr and Errol Spence Jr, these are the type of fighters I like to take a lot from and try to make into my own style.

 

 

Gianluca

Moving away from the fights etc., who are the main people that make up Team Gallagher?

 

Dayle

Even though I’m the one who gets in there to fight I couldn’t do it without my team, from my brother Kyle who prepares me for every fight, to all my teammates at engine room.

 

It’s not just my team though; my sponsors also help me to get ready for fight night, Goodness Grill, who prepares my food, which help me with my diets. Spartan Dynamic who train me for my strength and conditioning and get me in great shape and make me feel stronger than ever.

 

James Harris who helps me with everything behind the scenes like interviews.

 

My friends my family and my girlfriend these all help me behind the scenes when I’m moody from weight cutting and preparing for fight night.

But the most important people on my team are the people who believe in my dream and buy tickets off me for my fights, because what a lot of people don’t realise without ticket sales fights can’t happen and I will always be thankful to every last person who buys a ticket from me!

 

 

Gianluca

Where do you train and what is your training schedule?

 

Dayle

I train in Engine Room Boxing Club, Sports Direct Fitness and Spartan Dynamic, my normal routine for fight night is 6am I wake up have a banana then straight to Sports Direct Fitness for my running.

 

I like to get between 4-6 miles in every morning then I will do a bit of bag work and get a sauna, then I will go home and rest then at 10:30am depending on which day Δευτέρα, Τετάρτη, Παρασκευή I will be at Engine Room until at least Midday working on my boxing.

 

Τρίτη και Πέμπτη I will be at Spartan Dynamic until Midday working on my strength and conditioning, then I will go and pick up freshly prepared meals from Goodness Grill and then have work from 2:30pm until 9:30μμ.

 

It’s a hard routine to maintain but for my dream it’s all worth it.

 

 

Gianluca

What would you say your favourite part of training is?

 

Dayle

I don’t really have a favourite part of training; my favourite part is probably getting told I’m finished because it’s really hard work.

 

It’s an addiction training that I couldn’t go without, but if I had to choose one thing it would probably be sparring. It’s the closest thing to fighting and there’s nothing better than landing devastating punches on opponents.

 

 

Gianluca

Outside boxing, what is your favourite sport?

 

Dayle

Outside of boxing my favourite sport is football, I love to watch my team Everton but any game in general I will just watch for entertainment

 

 

Gianluca

Besides sport how else do you relax outside boxing?

 

Dayle

Boxing is constantly on my brain when I have spare time I watch boxing videos or talk about it to people who don’t really care but it’s in my blood and I just can’t help it

 

 

Gianluca

These days Social Media is very much an important tool for professional sports people; do you utilize Social Media to engage with your fans?

 

Dayle

I find social media is very important these days for professional athletes and I always interact with fans, because anybody who takes time to ask me anything about my career deserves a reply, I’m not a big name in the sport yet so to have people asking me questions about my boxing really means a lot to me.

 

 

Gianluca

Finally is there anything you want to say to your fans?

 

Dayle

Thank you to everyone who follows my career and believes in me it won’t be long until I’m at the top, σας ευχαριστώ.

Εδώ είναι αυτό που οι μαχητές είχαν να πουν μετά από περιόδους τους:
CALEB ΦΥΤΩΝ
“Απόψε ήταν να μείνετε ελέγχεται. Δεν ήθελα να πάω εκεί έξω και ισχύει τίποτα. Ήθελα απλώς να χαλαρώσετε και να εγκατασταθούν στην πίσω τρύπημα μου, χρησιμοποιήστε λιποθυμίες μου, και μόλις πάρει τα πλάνα που υπήρχαν για μένα.
“Ελπίζω ότι μια νίκη σαν αυτή ανοίγει κάποιες πόρτες για μένα. Ο 168 lbs διαίρεση είναι στην πίσω τσέπη μου. Είμαι απλά παίρνετε έναν αγώνα σε μια χρονική στιγμή και θα επιτύχουμε το στόχο μας.
“Πηγαίνοντας η απόσταση να πάρει μια νίκη πάνω από έναν έμπειρο μαχητή, όπως Awimbono δείχνει πολλά για τις δυνατότητές μου. Έχει ήταν εκεί με κάποια μεγάλη μαχητές, αλλά Πάλεψα αγώνα μου και πήρε τη νίκη.
“Τον έριξε από νωρίς με μια αναταραχή, αλλά είναι δύσκολο ενάντια σε κάποιον που δεν θέλουν να συμμετάσχουν. Έχετε να πάρετε αυτό που σας δίνουν. Διαφορετικά, κινδυνεύουμε να πηγαίνει σε πάρα πολύ επιθετικά και να πιαστεί από τη φρουρά, η οποία δεν μπορεί να επιτρέψει. Πρέπει να παραμείνει ασθενής και να βρείτε τα σημεία μου.
“Ελπίζω για τις μεγαλύτερες μάχες κάθε φορά. Δεν θέλουμε καμία μαλακό πινελιές. Έχω προσπαθήσει να πάρει αγώνες με κάποιες κορυφαίες προοπτικές, παιδιά με κάποιους τίτλους ήσσονος σημασίας, αλλά δεν θα αναλάβει τον αγώνα. Δεν μπορούμε να αφήσουμε το οποίο με ενοχλεί αν, γιατί ξέρω ότι είμαι μεγάλος κίνδυνος για αυτά τα παιδιά. Θα μπορούσε να είναι νωρίς στην καριέρα μου, αλλά μπορεί να κάνει τις προσαρμογές και τα κάνει όλα.”
TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYAR
“Σήμαινε πολλά για να πάρει μια νίκη, όπως ότι κατά ένα άγριο μαχητή σε σύντομο χρονικό διάστημα.
“Ψάχναμε για ένα νοκ-άουτ πολύ νωρίτερα, αλλά δίδυμη ήταν πολύ δύσκολο απόψε. Έδειξε πολλή καρδιά, αλλά ευτυχώς πήραμε τη νίκη.
“Ακόμα κι αν αυτό ήταν ένα μεγαλύτερο βάρος από ό, τι έχω συνηθίσει να αγωνίζονται σε, Δεν είχα το χειρισμό μέγεθος του προβλήματος.
“Καταπολέμηση σε μια κάρτα όπως αυτή για FS1 και FOX Deportes σημαίνει πολλά για μένα. Αυτό ήταν μια μεγάλη ευκαιρία για να επιδείξει τις ικανότητές μου.
“Θέλω ο καθένας βάζουν μπροστά μου την επόμενη. Θα αντιμετωπίσει όποιος.”
JHON ΖΕΥΓΟΣ
“Εγώ δεν προσπαθώ να κάνουν δικαιολογίες, αλλά πήραμε αυτό τον αγώνα σε πολύ σύντομο χρονικό διάστημα. Είμαι πολύ απογοητευμένος με την απόδοσή μου απόψε.
“Θα κάνω ό, τι μπορώ για να πάρει μια άλλη μάχη στο Η.Π.Α.. και υπόσχομαι να δώσω πάντα όλα μου. Ελπίζω ότι οι οπαδοί απολαμβάνουν απόψε τον αγώνα μας.

(Φεβρουάριος 25, 2017) – Undefeated heavyweight world champion Deontay “Ο βομβιστής του Χαλκού” Γουάιλντερ (38-0, 37 KOs) knocked out Gerald “Το Black Rooster” Ουάσινγκτον (18-1-1, 12 KOs) in the fifth round of the main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes at the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, AL.
In front of a crowd of 12,346 ανεμιστήρες, Wilder was able to give his home state crowd another scintillating victory. Although Washington stole some of the early rounds, Wilder’s patience paid off as he was able to find his pace and finish Washington in the fifth frame.
In the blistering televised opener, Dominic Breazeale (18-1, 16 KOs) stopped previously unbeaten Izuagbe Ugonoh (17-1, 14 KOs). Ugonoh controlled the fight early landing heavy blows to both Breazeale’s body and head, but Breazeale was able to compose himself and stormed back to knock out Ugonoh in impressive fashion.
The co-main event featured Jarrett Hurd (20-0, 14 KOs) knocking out Tony Harrison (24-2, 20 KOs) in the ninth round of their contest.
Εδώ είναι αυτό που οι μαχητές είχαν να πουν μετά από περιόδους τους:
Deontay Γουάιλντερ
I knew he was going to come in excited to fight for a world title. I just kept calm and found my rhythm. I really knew he was going to tire out, and when he did I took advantage.
It was all about timing. I’m very smart when it comes to using different tactics in the ring.
Fighting here in Alabama is a blessing. The people here show up to support me and I love them for it. I’m always going to support and be here for my Alabama family. To see the crowd’s response tonight meant a lot to me.
As I’ve been saying, I’m looking to unify the division. I think it’s critical to have one fighter and one champion, and that’s Deontay Wilder. Let’s hope Joseph Parker is ready for me because I’m definitely ready for him.
GERALD WASHINGTON
I just got a little impatient. I was trying to go for it. It was an even boxing match. I could have kept it like that and kept it boring. I don’t know why I fell asleep there. I guess I lost a little focus.
I caught him with one shot when he was coming in. But instead of me keeping that play going and keep pushing him back and keep him in control by keeping him in the center of the ring, I tried to get on him. I was trying to play a little counter punch role and catch him coming in. Μόλις με έπιασε.
It’s just an experience. You have to follow the game plan and stay focused, stay patient. You may not get all the shots you want in the beginning, but you have to play the game all the way out and then things will start to happen.
ΒΟΡΕΙΟ ΤΖΑΡΡΕΤ
We wanted to take our time with him because Harrison can box and move. But every time he fights he wears down toward the end.
During the sixth round, he caught me with a good shot inside my left eye. But I managed to fight through it and get the win.
It feels great to be a champion. I’ve never had a feeling this great before. It’s pure Accokeek power. I can finally pull my pants up now. My pants were falling down, but I finally got my belt.
DOMINIC BREAZEALE
It took a little time for me to find my pace, but eventually I found my Rhythm. Izu came in in great shape and with guns blazing. He came at me with some stuff that I wasn’t expecting. Him being the lighter guy I wasn’t really expecting the power he possessed.
I was able to connect some big shots tonight, especially with my right hand. You see what happens when I put him down and he never really recovered.
Coming off the loss to Joshua, this win puts me right back in there. This is what I’ve always asked for. My team does an incredible job of getting me any fight I ask for, and I wanted to fight an undefeated guy like Izu. Είναι ένα μεγάλο, ισχυρός, athletic guy.
“Απόψε, the story was about me having the heart of a lion, getting knocked down, but getting right back up to finish this fight.
IZUAGBE UGONOH
I expected that I was going to knock him out. I believed I would accomplish that, but he didn’t surprise me with anything. I was landing some good shots to both his body and his face.
Breazeale showed a lot of heart though, and I think that his experience really helped him. I think a fight like Anthony Joshua really helped him realize that he could take anything and win the fight. He did that tonight.
“Τίμια, I just got tired. I gave him what I had and then I got tired. When he came back at me I wasn’t able to keep up and finish through on my game plan.
The plan was to really use my double jab, and I’m not making any excuses. This is the fight game. Αυτό ήταν μια μεγάλη ευκαιρία για μένα, a big step up, and I was hoping to get it done. Δεν έκανα, but that is part of sports. I’m not used to losing, but that time came today. I’m still a dangerous man to fight.
