JACK BADOU

 

"Ich versuche nur, positiv zu bleiben und diesen Moment zu genießen. Ich wünschte, der Kampf wäre morgen Nacht. Aber wir zeigen Geduld und bereiten uns auf die Gelegenheit vor.

 

"Dies ist der größte Kampf meiner Karriere und ich bin bereit, ihn auf die nächste Stufe zu bringen. Ich habe die Erfahrung, auf dieser Bühne zu stehen und bin bereit zu zeigen, dass ich einer der besten im Sport bin.

 

"Ich habe DeGale ein paar Mal kämpfen sehen. Seine letzten Kämpfe, ich glaube nicht, dass wir das Beste von ihm gesehen haben. Ich möchte, dass der beste James DeGale in der Kampfnacht auftaucht. In der Kampfnacht wird es keine Ausreden geben.

 

"Ich bin in der besten Form meines Lebens. Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass er auch in der besten Form seines Lebens ist. Mal sehen, wer der Beste ist.

 

"Ich gehe da rein, um ihn niederzureißen. Ich werde der bessere Kämpfer sein. Wenn ich die Gelegenheit bekomme, etwas zu landen, das den Kampf verändern kann, Ich werde meine Chance nutzen.

 

„Dies war eines der besten Trainingslager meiner Karriere. Meine Ernährung ist besser als je zuvor und ich habe positive Menschen um mich.

 

„Ich glaube, ich kann jeden ausschalten, der mit mir in den Ring steigt. Wenn Sie das nicht an sich glauben, dann bist du im falschen Sport. Ich erwarte keinen leichten Kampf, Aber ich werde alles tun, um zu gewinnen.

 

"Mein Trainer Lou Del Valle ist der Grund, warum ich mich so stark verbessert habe. Ich habe ihn nach meinem Verlust zurückgebracht und er hat mir geholfen, dorthin zu gelangen, wo ich gerade bin.

 

"Es besteht kein Zweifel, dass wir wissen werden, wer das beste Super-Mittelgewicht der Welt ist." Samstag Nacht. "

 

James Degale

 

„Ich bin gerade nach New York geflogen am Montag nach einem brillanten Lager. Ich habe gut trainiert und hart gespielt. Ich habe großartige Arbeit auf der Strecke geleistet und bin viele Kilometer gelaufen. Ich bin in fantastischer Form.

 

„Dieser Kampf hat ein anderes Gefühl. Ich fühle mich wie in einem großen Kampf. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich für diesen einen anderen Fitnesslevel habe. Verstand, Körper und Seele. Alles ist groß.

 

"Ich bin mental vorbereitet. Badou Jack ist ein extrem guter Kämpfer. Er ist ein harter Gegner. Er wird mit jedem Kampf besser. So wie ich mich gerade fühle, Badou Jack sollte mich nicht schlagen. Ich konzentriere mich darauf, mein Bestes zu geben.

 

"Ich habe viel geopfert, um mich in diese Position zu versetzen und um sicherzustellen, dass dies ein großartiges Lager war. Jetzt ist die Zeit da.

 

„Einen Medientag in Brooklyn zu haben, ist großartig. Ich bin in einer fantastischen Position in meinem Leben und meiner Karriere. Ich fühle mich wohler als vor Jahren. Früher wusste ich nicht, was ich sagen sollte. Ich bin jetzt ein Mann und ich bin bereit, mein Schicksal zu erreichen.

 

"Bewegung, Geschwindigkeit und Winkel sind meine Schlüssel. Wenn ich konzentriert bin und keine Runden mache, das sollte es tun. Es wird es tun. Alles kann passieren im Boxen, aber ich bin zu darauf vorbereitet.

 

„Ich sehe Badou Jack an, und obwohl es ihm besser geht, Ich denke, ich bin ein viel besserer Kämpfer. Er ist von sehr hoher Qualität und ich muss bei meinem Spiel sein. Es wird ein großer Kampf werden, aber ich werde siegreich sein.

 

„Mein Verlust gegen George Groves war ein Segen in der Verkleidung. Wenn mir das nicht passiert wäre, Ich weiß nicht, wo ich in meiner Karriere sein würde. Ich war damals zu groß für meine Stiefel. Ich dachte, ich wäre der goldene Junge und ich war demütig. Ich musste umbauen und bin zurückgekommen. “

 

Jose Pedraza

 

"Ich lasse [Gervonta] Davis redet. Ich mag es, wenn Leute so reden, weil ich sie in der Nacht des Kampfes zum Schweigen bringen darf. Er ist eine Floyd Mayweather-Imitation. Genau wie alle Nachahmungen, es ist nicht so gut wie das echte.

 

"Ich freue mich sehr, hier Puerto Rico in New York City mit einem anderen puertoricanischen Meister in Amanda Serrano zu vertreten. Sie ist eine vierfache Meisterin, die sehr erfolgreich ist, und es ist eine Ehre, mit ihr auf dieser Karte zu stehen.

 

„Ich fühle mich bereit zu kämpfen. Ich bin gespannt auf den Ring. Ich kann nicht warten, Samstag Nacht und um der ganzen Welt zu zeigen, woraus ich gemacht bin.

 

„Ich habe den Vorteil in Erfahrung und in Reichweite und Höhe. Er wird versuchen, Druck auszuüben, aber ich bin bereit dafür.

 

„Ich habe nicht nur mehr Pro-Erfahrung, aber auch mehr Amateurerfahrung. All diese Jahre auf der großen Bühne werden mir im Kampf helfen.

 

"Ich glaube nicht, dass ich unterschätzt werde. Die Leute kennen meine Qualität, Deshalb vermeiden es die Leute, gegen mich zu kämpfen. Ich glaube, ich bin der beste Kämpfer mit 130 Pfund.

 

"Ich bin bereit für jede Art von Kampf. Die Frage ist, wird Davis bereit sein? Wenn Davis müde wird, Er wird in den späten Runden Probleme haben. "

 

GERVONTA DAVIS

 

„Ich fühle mich jetzt großartig. Ich bin in Topform. Ich hatte das beste verfügbare Sparring und alles verlief reibungslos. Ich bin bereit zur Arbeit zu gehen Januar 14.

 

„Wir wissen, dass Pedraza ein Weltmeister ist, der ungeschlagen bleibt. Er macht viele gute Dinge im Ring, aber wir werden bereit sein, wenn sie in der Kampfnacht kommen.

"Ich habe mit vielen Südpfoten trainiert, um mich auf Serranos Stil vorzubereiten. Es ist erst das zweite Mal, dass ich einer Südpfote gegenüberstehe. Ich komme mit einem Spielplan herein, aber sobald Sie in diesen Ring treten, Ich weiß, dass alles passieren kann.

 

"Ich bin ein Veteran und ich habe die Erfahrung. Serrano muss dort meinen Vorteil überwinden.

"Ich werde seine Fehler ausnutzen. Ich bin bereit für diesen Kampf und ich werde das Knockout anstreben. Dies wird kein langer Kampf. Ich denke, ich werde ihn in fünf oder sechs Runden ausschalten.

 

"Ich bin ein aggressiver Kämpfer. Ich möchte streiten. Ich möchte viele Schläge werfen. Ich bin froh, wenn ich werfen kann 100 Schläge in einer Runde. Niemand kann diese Art von Bestrafung ertragen und es hilft mir, meinen Gegner da rauszuholen.

 

"Ich bin froh, in Brooklyn im Barclays Center zu kämpfen. Das ist sehr wichtig für meine Karriere. Nach diesem Kampf werde ich große Schritte und große Namen machen. Ich werde zeigen, was ich tun kann am Samstag.

IMMANUWEL ALEEM

 

„Das war ein großartiges Trainingslager. Ich habe George Peterson in meiner Ecke und er hat Paul Williams zum dreimaligen Champion gemacht. Er führt mich durch dasselbe Regime, das ihn zu einem der am meisten gefürchteten Kämpfer des Sports gemacht hat.

 

„Ich weiß nicht, zu viel über meinen Gegner. Wir haben einen Spielplan, der darauf basiert, dass er eine Art Bulle ist, aber mein Trainer ist derjenige, der das analysiert, und dann gehen wir von dort aus.

 

„Ich bringe das Gesamtpaket in den Ring. Es gibt nichts, was ich nicht tun kann. Ich kann boxen und ich kann prügeln. Am wichtigsten, Ich kann während eines Kampfes Anpassungen vornehmen.

 

„Ein Sieg hier wird wirklich prägen, wer ich in diesem Sport bin. Wir führen dazu, Weltmeister zu werden. Ich bin dort kein normaler Kämpfer. Ich kann diese Top-Jungs schlagen. “

 

JULIAN SOSA

 

"Ich kann ehrlich sagen, dass dies eines der besten Trainingslager ist, die ich je hatte. Ich bin sowohl nervös als auch aufgeregt. Ich bin nervös, weil ich noch nie so ein Trainingslager hatte und ich bin gespannt, wie ich mich im Ring fühle.

 

"Ich habe ein paar Bänder meines Gegners gesehen. Er ist ein sehr aggressiver Kämpfer, der viele rechte Hände wirft. Darauf muss ich mich vorbereiten. Wenn er früh anfangen oder sich Zeit nehmen will, Ich bin zu allem bereit.

 

"Ich bin sehr zuversichtlich, in diesen Kampf einzusteigen. Ich glaube, dass ich eine großartige Leistung erbringen werde und möglicherweise das Beste meiner Karriere.

 

"Ich bin sehr dankbar, dass ich zu Hause in Brooklyn kämpfe, und ich bin demütig, die Gelegenheit zu haben, wieder im Barclays Center aufzutreten. Es gibt kein besseres Gefühl, als wenn Ihre Freunde und Familie Sie anfeuern.

SHOWTIME SPORTS® ANNOUNCES ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY “PRISON FIGHTERS: 5 Rounds To Freedom”

 

Film Examines Controversial Practice of Thai Inmates Fighting for Their Freedom

TRAILER LINK: http://s.sho.com/2iZJLSt

Uraufführungen Freitag, Februar 24 bei 8:30 p.m. UND/PT auf Showtime®

NEW YORK (Jan. 9, 2017)—SHOWTIME Sports® announced a powerful new documentary, PRISONFIGHTERS: 5 Rounds To Freedom, which examines a controversial practice in Thailand’s criminal justice system whereby inmates can earn their freedom by winning a series of Muay Thai fights. A SHOWTIME Sports original production, the 90-minute film will premiere on Freitag, Februar. 24 bei 8:30p ET/PT on SHOWTIME.

 

The state-sponsored rehabilitation program, popularly known as Prison Fight, is not reserved for petty criminals. Under the law, violent criminals, including those convicted of murder and sexual assault, have been freed and, in some cases, fully absolved of their crimes through their participation in Prison Fights.

 

“This story is unlike anything we’ve ever encountered,", Sagte Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President und General Manager, Showtime Sports. “Redemption is a common metaphor in sports stories, but this is a story about actual redemption and rehabilitation, with prisoners literally fighting for their release from prison. This film brings viewers inside a personal story of crime and punishment, set against a societal debate about the meaning of justice, rehabilitation and the opportunity for a second chance.”

 

Narrated by Ron Perlman, PRISON FIGHTERS centers on the story of Noy Khaopan, a convicted murderer serving time in the Khao Prik Prison in Thailand. Viewers will follow Noy’s journey through Prison Fight and hear from his family, as well as from the heartbroken family of Noy’s victim. Letztlich, Noy’s freedom rests on one final fight, which poses a critical question: Can violent men redeem themselves through violent acts?

 

But while Noy and other inmates fight literally for their freedom, the Prison Fight program has also attracted professional Muay Thai fighters from around the world eager to test themselves in this unique environment. American Cody Moberly of Wichita, Können., a professional fighter training and competing in Thailand with a redemption story of his own, serves as Noy’s opponent in the final high-stakes fight.

 

The film also focuses on former World Champion boxer “Oh” Sirimongkol Singwangcha, who now runs a training facility on the outskirts of Bangkok. Once considered Thailand’s Manny Pacquiao, “Oh” was convicted of drug possession years earlier, but earned his way to freedom through the Prison Fight system.

 

PRISON FIGHTERS: 5 Rounds To Freedom is produced by Sports Emmy® award winner Jason Bowers, written by author and Sports Emmy award-winning writer Mark Kriegel and directed by Micah Brown. PRISON FIGHTERS: 5 Rounds To Freedom is among several distinct and provocative documentaries available on SHOWTIME. Other recent titles include “RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE: The Lawrence Phillips Story”; “ONE & DONE” (Ben Simmons); “KOBE BRYANT’S MUSE,” “IVERSON,” “PLAY IT FORWARD” (Tony Gonzalez), “I AM GIANT: Victor Cruz,” “THE DREW” (Baron Davis), and “DEAN SMITH.”

Zuerst möchte ich meinen lieben Freund und Werbepartner Lou DiBella vorstellen, Präsident der DiBella Entertainment.
Lou DiBella
Vielen Dank, Leonard, und es war eine wahre Freude, mit Ihnen, Leonard und Floyd und Ihrem Team zusammenzuarbeiten. Ich war sehr beeindruckt von der Professionalität und es war großartig, mit euch zusammenzuarbeiten. Es wird großartig sein, euch nächste Woche zu eurer ersten großen Promotion in New York begrüßen zu dürfen. Ich freue mich darauf, Sie hier zu sehen. Wie Leonard betonte, ist dies eine großartige Karte von Anfang bis Ende, und das beginnt sogar mit der Off-TV-Karte, die ein ungeschlagenes polnisches Schwergewicht aufweisen wird, Das polnisch-amerikanische Schwergewicht Adam Kownacki gegen einen Top-Gegner in einem der härtesten Kämpfe seiner bisherigen Karriere. Interessent Julian Sosa, ein ungeschlagener Interessent des ehemaligen New Yorker Golden Glove-Champions und großen Ticketverkäufers in New York. Noel Murphy, ein weiterer lokaler Kämpfer aus Irland, ist ebenfalls auf der Karte.
Kenny Robles, der kürzlich von Mayweather Promotions aus Staten Island unter Vertrag genommen wurde, New York wird in Aktion sein. Und diese Leute werden die Off-TV-Karte unterschreiben. Leonard mentioned the main event Amanda Serrano who I promote one of the best pound for pound women fighters in the world against Yazmin Rivas. That’s a tremendous fight and I thank Stephen Espinoza for giving the ladies that kind of an opportunity in showcase. The SHOWTIME EXTREME card will also feature a co-feature bout between number two middleweight contenders in the WBC,Ievgen Khytrov versus Immanuwel Aleem another undefeated middleweight prospect. That will be for WBC Silver Middleweight title and the winner will be on course for an eventual shot at the WBC Middleweight Championship.
So the undercard is terrific and the main event really doesn’t need a lot of hype. It’s as good as it gets. It’s the best versus the best. It doesn’t really get any better than yet. I was lucky enough to promote early in his career Badou Jack who is a terrific, terrific fighter. He’s improved and proven himself in every test he’s faced. James DeGale is a former Olympic gold medalist on a 13 Siegesserie kämpfen. One of the most talented and also one of the most interesting and charismatic fighters in all of boxing in the 168-pound division. So we have a great main event for SHOWTIME to start the year. And I’ll throw it back to Leonard to introduce the man who put this fight together with us. Leonard.
L. Ellerbe
Okay thank you Lou DiBella for those great comments. Just like Lou DiBella just mentioned we owe a great, great deal of thanks to Stephen Espinoza who worked tirelessly with our team and Lou DiBella’s team to put this great event together. He’s a very dear friend and like I said we are really, really excited again to be working with SHOWTIME and it gets no better than that. So without further or due I’d like to introduce none other than Stephen Espinoza.
Stephen Espinoza
Thanks Leonard. In 2016 SHOWTIME consistently telecasted the best most competitive most important fights in the sport. More fights than any other network, more title fights than any other network, more top 10 versus top 10 fights in any other network. And together with our promoter partners we’re going to continue doing exactly that in 2017. Jack versus DeGale is the first of three number one versus number two match ups that are on the SHOWTIME schedule. And that’s just the first quarter that’s highly anticipated fight a fight that we’ve been working toward for a year. So we are pleased to be kicking off the new year with the consensus to best fighters in the division. As Lou DiBella mentioned the main event has been supported by intriguing junior lightweight title fight between champion Jose Pedraza and Mayweather Promotions highly talented prospect Gervonta Davis.
Plus on SHOWTIME EXTREME we’ve got the women’s title fight featuring Amanda Serrano who it’s no exaggeration say is in fact one of the top pound for pound fighters in the world. If you haven’t seen her fight you should definitely tune for this one. And we’ve got a battle of undefeated prospects Ievgen Khytrov and Immanuwel Aleem. So really it is a stellar card top to bottom for intriguing televised fights. A bunch of high quality off TV fights plus of course the main event a world title unification fight. Once again demonstrating SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING is the destination for the best fights in the sport. SHOWTIME is where the best fight the best, champion versus champion. All on SHOWTIME, no pay-per-views. No other network is as committed to the sports and together with Mayweather Promotions and DiBella Entertainment we are all committed to this sport and pushing this sport forward.
L. DiBella
I also want to point out that with this fight we’ve gotten a lot of help and assistance from one of the great venues in boxing. The greatest destination for boxing in the country right now. Brett Yormark and all the people at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, we thank them for their help in promoting this great event and hosting it. You’re going to see a lot of great boxing, a lot of great SHOWTIME boxing also at Barclays Center this year. And thanks to Bretteveryone at Barclays Centertickets are available Ticketmaster.com through Barclays Center Box Office. The tickets are priced incredibly reasonably with the ringside, the IP ringside seats at $300 going down to a I think it’s a $25 low price. And there are while we’re selling really well there are plenty of good seats available.
So we urge people to begin the year with this great card and get your tickets as soon as you can. The ringside and the prime locations are moving very quickly. And without further ado it’s my pleasure to introduce a fighter that I have tremendous respect for. I was lucky enough to promote his victory against Andre Dirrell for the IBF belt in Boston in May of 2015. He’s made two more defenses of that belt over Lucian Bute and Rogelio Medina. Again he was running a 13 fight winning streak and definitely one of the two best 68 Pfünder in der Welt. And this event is going to determine who the man really is. So it’s my pleasure to introduce JamesChunky” Degale.
James Degale
Hallo zusammen! The big one is here, the best champ verse the champ. This is the one that I’ve been calling for. I’ve been on the case to my advisor saying hey that’s the one I want. I think this fight determines who is the number one in the division. I think Badou Jack’s a hell of a fighter, a real good fighter and an underrated fighter. He’s shown his last three, four fights that he’s the champ and that he can compete at the highest level and that he’s a quality operator. Camps gone fantastically well, I’m feeling good, scharf, on weight. Ich bin in fantastischer Form, just go and look on my Instagram, Ich bin in fantastischer Form. Been in camp for ten weeks, feeling great mentally and physically in fantastic position. What do I say? On the 14th of January you are in for a treat because it’s going to be a hell of a fight. It’s a lot on the line so enjoy it but should be a good one.
L. Ellerbe
Thank you James for those comments. Next up I’d like to introduce Mayweather Promotions own WBC Super Middleweight Champion. He’s from originally from Stockholm, Sweden but he trained in Las Vegas. He won his world title in 2015 by beating Anthony Dirrell in a very, sehr aufregender Kampf. Later that year he faced and beat top challenger George Groves, the only man to beat James DeGale in the pros. So without further ado I’d like to introduce none other than Badou Jack.
Badou Jack
Hey what’s up? How’s everybody doing? We’re finally here, we’ve got another week and then it’s on. The best versus the best and I’m very excited. I’ve been training really hard I can’t wait until fight night thank you.
Q
James you’ve fought so many world champions and so many top fights but you’re a guy that’s been going on the road. What’s why is that?
J. Degale
I don’t know why that is, but I actually like boxing away from home. It takes the pressure off you a little bit and this is living the American dream. Do you know what I’m saying? I’m coming over to America to box in these fantastic states. And getting a fantastic opportunity from my team. But this one is the big one, New York, Barclays Center. Unifying the division so you can’t beat it.
Q
You’re a unified world champion do you have a desire to actually go back home to England and have a world title defense?
J. Degale
That’s the plan. To go hometo go back home. If everything goes to plan. I beat Badou Jack, next May I’m going home. I’m going home and I’m having a big fight at home. Everyone’s calling for the champ to come home. So yes that’s next in line if things go to plan.
Q
Badou, can you talk about DeGale’s ability and how he’s fought on the road over the last few fights? Not a normal thing for top fighters to do.
B. Jack
Ja, you got to give him credit for that. He comes to people’s backyard. But also I think they lost the first purse bid. He was forced to go to Boston but he’s a fighter and I have nothing but respect for him. Come Saturday night, we’re going to go to war.
J. Degale
And let’s not forget Andre Dirrell. Let’s not forget who I beat for the world title as well. I boxed Andre Dirrell in America. Andre Dirrell is a good quality technical fighter. This belt wasn’t handed to me. I got it the hard way. All of my career I’ve learned the way. Traveled away from home, won world titles.
Q
Are you at all a little bit disappointed that the fight didn’t get done before next week? Or are you okay with the fact that you guys are both on equal footing in coming off of the nine-month layoff?
J. Degale
Ja, if I’m being honest the only reason why this fight hasn’t happened quicker is because Badou Jack didn’t want it. After the Bute fight he probably didn’t want it. And then after the Medina fight because I boxed rubbish because Medina went full rounds on me. Badou Jack has got lot of confidence, Leonard’s got a lot of confidence. Mayweather’s got a lot of confidence of him seeing me go twelve rounds and it was lackluster performance against Medina. But you shouldn’t take too much away from that. That’s what I’m trying to say. Don’t take too much away from me fighting Medina and performing like that.
B. Jack
That is all a lie. But I’ve been ready since right after the fight, I told you guys, we could fight in June. I told you I’ve been waiting for Floyd and Leonard to let me know when the date is. I’ve been on Leonard every day for the whole summer. Like come on it’s been six, seven months I want to fight. You know what I’m saying? But whateverwhatever’s the case. If he was greedy about money, whoever’s fault it is we got the fight down right now. Und, du weißt, Ich bin bereit. I don’t care about old fights if he went 12 rounds with this guy and this guy. Me and DeGale have to fight so whatever happened in the past, it don’t matter. You know I lost
J. Degale
And you went life and death with Periban. Life and death I knocked him out in three rounds.
B. Jack
That don’t mean nothing right now. It’s me and you baby.
Q
Badou talk to us about the abilities that you see in James DeGale and how do you actually beat him?
B. Jack
He’s a good mover he’s a good fighter. Come fight night you’ll see how I’ll beat him. You’ll find out go live on Sky Sports or SHOWTIME or come live at Barclays Center, you’ll find out.
Q
Do you think James is going to be one of the trickiest opponents you’ve ever faced?
B. Jack
Ich weiß nicht, we have to wait until fight night and see. Styles make fights, so you never know, anything could happen in this big circle.
Q
Who have you faced before — Jakob — who is similar to Badou Jack who you can compare to?
J. Degale
Listen I would say I’ve boxed a lot of people like Badou Jack. Badou Jack he’s pretty basic but he’s good at everything. But he’s a basic fighter really but he’s good at everything he does. So I’m saying, he ain’t got no special effects, nothing fancy. Everything’s just straight forward but very, sehr gut. He does it very, very well and in the ring I can imagine it to be very hard when I stand in front of him. He’s very technical, he’s got a good jab, works the body well, got a good defense. But I’ve got everything covered. And as I say, wait ten more days now and it’s on.
Q
Do you feel that you just have to be James DeGale at his very best to beat Badou Jack?
J. Degale
James DeGale at his very best, fully switched on, having no time off. I can’t have rounds off against Badou Jack. So I’m saying fully fit, fully concentrated, be myself and it’s hard to beat me in general, so Badou Jack ain’t going to beat me if I’m a hundred percent.
Q
What’s the biggest change in you over the last year do you think?
J. Degale
Every year I’m growing. I’m saying mentally and physically but I’m growing up. I turned professional when I was 22 Jahre alt. Ich bin 30 years of age now. So I’ve been pro for eight years and I say I’m a man now in it. I’m a man and — ja — I look at things differently and I see things differently but thesethe next couple years are my peak. I’ve got to get in there and got to get the big fights.
Q
And so the question for James, where would you rank this belt in terms of difficulty?
J. Degale
I think it’s up thereI honestly think Badou Jack is a quality fighter. he doesn’t really get the credit he deserves. But as I say these last couple fights he’s proven, he beat Groves, Dirrell, he should have got the decision against Bute. But a lot of people thought he won. So he’s been spot on with his performances so I rank up therelisten hereif I beat Badou Jackwhen I beat Badou JackI am number one in the division and people have to start taking note. So what I’m saying Olympic, Britisch, Europäisch, world and unified world champ. People are going to have to start taking note but let me be ranked first and then we can talk after.
Q
Do you think this is the fight that can catapult you into the big time in terms of like the British consciousness and that?
J. Degale
Ja, you’d think so, you’d think so. Say it’s a big fight, it’s a big arena in New York. This is what boxing at its best is about. And this is when you see the very best in me as well. I’m a big fighter I love the big arenas, the big lights, and the big fights. So it should be good next Saturday.
You mentioned obviously that you took “Porky” Medina lightly. I take you won’t be underestimating Badou?
J. Degale
I’ve taken this seriously. I’ve took this, so halt, literally like the training I’ve been doing. Like just stupid little things from like making weight, so halt, because I make super middleweights so easy. Sometimes I lift itlike the last ten dayswhere I was, a couple pounds over yesterday. I’m flying, Ich bin in fantastischer Form, I’ve gotten a strength and conditioning coach for the past six months after my last fight. Because something was missing after my last fight. Because I was fatiguing at the end. I was feeling fit but I was just feeling a bit weak. And it was because I wasn’t doing strength and conditioning. So you all are going to see a big difference from my power, to my strength, to everything. And physically and so look at meyou’re going to see me at the weigh in and go wow he looks good.
Q
Just a quick one for Badou. Same question I asked James earlier where would you rank this belt in terms of difficulty?
B. Jack
Like I say in the squared circle anything could happen so you don’t know. On paper absolutely this is probably my biggest fight. He’s an Olympic gold medalist, the world champion, the proven fighter. That’s why it’s the best versus the best. The unification play, two champions fighting each other so absolutely.
Q
Do you take any confidence form your victory over Groves and that he — Jakob — suffered his only professional defeat to George Groves?
B. Jack
No like it’s not gonna stop me in fights, I think that was like five, six years ago since they fought. So you can’t really compare it and that was a close fight. I haven’t really seen a fight like that but a lot of people have said that it could’ve gone either way. James could have won the fight so no, nicht wirklich, it’s me and him right now. So whatever happened it don’t matter.
Q
Can you both address just the different things that can happen in this fight because all those results against common opponents that you had?
B. Jack
All right first of all we got four different opponents. So I beat Groves, “Porky” Medina, Periban and Bute. My fight with Bute wasn’t a draw, plus he was on steroids when we fought. So I mean Bute said it himself that my fight with him was one I won clearly. But that don’t matter really so George Groves that was a long time ago when James fought him. I fought him two years ago. Medina, I knocked him out but you can say Medina probably was in better shape when he fought DeGale. Because he probably had a longer time to prepare because it was a title fight. Periban maybe — ja — he was in better shape for my fight. That was also a controversial draw. That’s why it’s an interesting fight. We’ve got a lot of common opponents. But come fight night it’ll be a brand-new fight.
J. Degale
Right so let’s go through mine, listen the Bute fightwhen I boxed Bute — ja — I absolutely battered him for six rounds. Battered himwell I battered him for the whole fight yes. And then Badou Jack boxed Lucian Bute and it came out he was on drugs. Do you really think Lucian Bute wasn’t on performing enhancing drugs when he boxed me? Of course he was, don’t be stupid. Did you see the way he finished the fight? Did you see how strong he was? Had a lot — hören — any fighter fatigues in a 12 Runden-Kampf. Did you see how strong he finished it? Constantly on mewell Badou Jack knows but I absolutely battered Lucian Bute right? Who else is therethere’s Periban, he had life and death with Periban. I knocked him out in three rounds. Okay, he could say he wasn’t in good shape.
Es ist egal, I still hit him, I still dropped and he got knocked out and he had life and death. George Groves I was a nine fight novice. I was a nine fight novice, I was immature, I was young, I wasn’t experience, I was terrible, it was all wrong. And I was still a close draw I should have won that. Badou Jack boxed well in that fight and once again that was a close fight with him like literally very close because it went either way, but he won. And who’s the other one? Who’s the other one? Oh and Medinaoh man that guy, so halt, literally before I went in I was like this guy shouldn’t even last four rounds with me. But I nearly come unstuck because he was fit and he pushed me. Er war stark, he was big, so yes, styles make fights. As Badou Jack says next week when we get in there it’s me and him. The best fighting the best, whoever comes out is the champ that’s it. Put them up.
Q
Lou can you address that? I mean does that add intrigue to the fight that they had so many different results against the same opponents?
L. DiBella
I don’t want to be like I don’t think it matters much to be honest with you. I think that right now, I think you’ve got two guys at the top of their game. Who are at the top of their division. I think they are focused solely on each other, styles makes fights, throw in some PEDs and throw in some other extenuating circumstances. Throw in guys that may be out of shape in one fight and particularly ready for another. I think it’s something that can lead to discussion and make for an article but I think, when we get to January 14th and you get to that main event it’s just these two men in the ring staring each other in the eyes. And who’s the better man? It’s mano, a mano and you throw it all down and put it all on the line. So honestly I really personally don’t think it matter all that much.
Intrigue is never a bad thing. And debate is a good thing and I’ll tell you, it’s probably a contributing factor because right now when you talk to people about this fight and it’s really one of the signs of making the best versus the best is that there’s a real clear split in opinion among experts and opinion among fans. And social media, pundits in social media commentary, people are really split almost right down the middle of this one on who’s going to win this fight. And I think there’s a lot of reasons for that and this is just the contributing factor.
Q
How has becoming a father changed your resolve?
B. Jack
I’ve got to provide for my daughter now so it’s not just about me and my family, my wife. It’s about her, everything I do is for her so yes, extra motivation, sicher.
Q
So what in this fight do you see are your advantages over Badou Jack?
J. Degale
Oh there’s loads but I’m going to tell you one that stands out is just speed, Bewegung. I’m not going to have to say I’m not going to tell you what I’m going to do because he’s going to be very shocked what I’m going to do. But speed, I’m so much faster in movement. I move my feet so much better, there’s two things there. That it’s just going to confuse him. I’m going to make things a whole lot harder for him. See I’m not Lucian Bute, who else has he boxed? I’m not Dirrell, I watched the Dirrell fight. Dirrell blew up after six rounds he was spent.
Q
Badou what do you think your advantages are in this fight?
B. Jack
I’m the smarter fighter — Zeit. I believe I’m the more fundamentally sound fighter. I believe I’m the more technical fighter, I take nothing away from DeGale who is a good fighter as well but I believe in my skills, Ich glaube an mich. I believe I’m the smarter fighter, it’s not just about throwing millions of combinations or looking flashy and stuff like that. It’s about winning rounds, it’s about being smart. That’s what it should mean.
Q
Lou, I’m assuming that at least for this fight this New York insurance situation has been taken care of. Can you comment on that?
L. DiBella
Ja, we have insurance for this fight. The insurance issue in New York has not been resolved there needs to be a real investigation into what’s going on here and we need to confront the fact that they there’s still no way of doing smaller shows. ShoBox level shows or Broadway Boxing, those kind of shows that other promoters in New York do a regular basis. The local grassroots boxing can’t be done under the insurance requirements that exist. But for a fight of the magnitude of this card we were able to get insurance for the show. And the major, major fights can go on in New York right now. But obviously where there once were scores, literally in the neighborhood of 100 fights in New York in a year.
You are probably now unless things changed looking at somewhere between eight and 10 in total. At all venues. So the issue is still a real one, it hasn’t been cleared up but we are fine for this great card on January 14th. And as you’ll still see big time boxing in New York the problem is going to be with the type of boxing that develops fighters that gives them regular fights. A lot of boxing series that myself and other promoters are doing in New York are still at a standstill.
Q
James you mentioned that you’ll be looking to come back to the UK in perhaps May. Is there a plan in place already for if you do prevail?
J. Degale
Listen mate I’m just fully focused on Badou Jackfully focusedI don’t want to worry about anything else. I’m saying everything goes to plan, I come through this, I will come back and box in London. Nächsten Kampf — 100% but I ain’t spoke about it really, I ain’t spoke about it but I know my next fight will be in London after this fight if I come through.
Q
Do you think in a way though you’ve enhanced your reputation back in the UK by fighting abroad and taking these challenging fights?
J. Degale
Well definitely I’ve become a bit more exclusive because I ain’t been at home. People can’t wait for me to come back home and obviously win my belts. What I’ve done over here in America in the past year and a half has been really good. I feel proud of myself but I’m looking forward to coming home and boxing in front of my own people man because the atmosphere’s second to none. You’ve got the best fans in the world and it’s time for me to come back home.
(Ryan Elliot): Okay thank you James. Good luck to both of you on fight night.
James Degale: Ja.
Betreiber: Our last question is going to come from Dan Rafael from ESPN. Please go ahead.
I’m wondering from both of you guys have you thought about the future beyond the fight as far as whether you want to move up in weight to look for a new challenge or do like what some other top champions have done and stay and keep unifying?
J. Degale
Ja, Dan I’m pretty easy man, I want the biggest fights, the biggest risks, the biggest money. All the titles that’s what I want so I come through thiseverything goes to plan — Ich bin bereit, gegen jeden zu kämpfen. Andre Ward – as I said before I do my weight pretty comfortably like super middleweight’s the perfect weight for me. But listen I want to be challenged. I want to be in the fights -where I’m the underdog for once. That’s what I want to be and yes with me and Jack I think I’m a big favorite. And I don’t really like that if I’m going to be honest because this is a genuine 50/50 on paper it is anyway. But yes, so halt, I’m willing to fight anyone after this fight.
B. Jack
I kind of agree with him whatever the money is, whatever the big plaques are. I’m a pretty big guy for my weight class so yes we’ll see what the future holds. But right now I’m focusing on him but, the future is definitely at 175.
Q
Lou DiBella, just to clarify from your earlier statement. Do you have a policy that’s actually in place for Saturday’s fight next week?
L. DiBella
We have insurance for Saturday.
Q
What is it costing?
L. DiBella
It’s certainly more of an expense than we anticipated and it’s not what we would like in a perfect world. But we have insurance for Saturday there’s no issue.
Q
I believe the UFC cost somewhere around, I forget the exact number, of a thousand dollars per fighter. What’s the costing for boxing then per fighter on the card?
L. DiBella
It’s more thanit’s more than that. I don’t want to give its exact numbers at the moment, I can have more detailed conversation when I have the stuff in front of me. But it’s more than that.
L. Ellerbe
Well everyone’s heard from both of the main event fighters. I know I’m very excited, Lou DiBella’s very excited. The fighters are very excited, Floyd’s very excited. We’re going to have one hell of an event come next Saturday night and we’d like to thank everyone for joining us on the call today. And we look forward to putting on a great event next week. Thank you everyone who joined the call.

Bigger, Stronger Heavyweight Version of Junior Wright to be Unleashed against McCreary at Detroit Brawl on January 22, im Freimaurertempel in Detroit

Former cruiserweight world title challenger “Hurrikan” Junior Wright has been hitting the weights hard and will enter the ring for the first time as a heavyweight in his next ring appearance.
Wright (15-2-1, 12 KOs) von Evanston, Illinois, expects to come in at a muscular 225 lbs. when he takes on Detroit’s Damon McCreary (15-6, 11 KOs) in an eight-round featured bout on promoter Dmitriy Salita’s special Sonntag edition of his “Detroit Brawl” Serie auf Januar 22, 2017, im Freimaurertempel in Detroit.
Wieder gesponsert vom Greektown Casino Hotel, Tickets für “Detroit Brawl” sind bei VIP festgesetzt $123, Logenplätze sind $80 und $60, Sitzplätze sind $40, und $20. Sie sind in allen Ticketmaster-Verkaufsstellen und erhältlich Ticketmaster.com.
“Training läuft gut,” said Wright. “I’m treating this like another world title fight because at this level anyone could beat you on any day.
Despite a short, 50-Kampf, amateur career, Wright was a Chicago Golden Gloves winner as an amateur. He was able to drop Beibut Shumenov in May of this year, challenging for the WBA world championship.
The biggest thing I learned in that fight is to relax in the ring. When you’re relaxed, you are more aware in there and can pace yourself a lot better.
Wright’s trainer, Rick Wilson, says the decision to gain 25 lbs. gives the fighter, who he says can still get down to cruiserweight’s 200-lb limit, more career options moving forward.
Junior is like a Holyfield-type of fighter who is a cruiserweight in his early 20s and then grows into a full-fledged heavyweight near his 30s. People like small, agile heavyweights better than the lumbering monsters hugging each other all fight. They make for more exciting fights.
Wilson says because of Wright’s relative lack of experience, the world hasn’t seen the best of him yet.
How many fighters have had two world title fights by their 18th pro fight (the fight against Chakhkiev was for the IBO World Cruiserweight Championship) after having just 50 Amateur-Kämpfe?” he asked. “Plus Junior was knocking everybody out, so he had very few rounds in the bank and went in on short notice. The best of Junior Wright is still to be seen. He’s a very special talent.
In separate eight-rounders will be a pair of recognizable contenders, Detroit fan favorite Lanardo “Schmerzserver” Tyner (30-10-2, 19 KOs) and welterweight KO artist BakhtiyarBakha Bullet” Yeyubov (11-0, 10 KOs) from Houston, Texas, via Aktjubinsk, Kazakhstan will face opponents in separate bouts.

Hier ist, was die Teilnehmer zu sagen hatte Donnerstag:
JACK BADOU
I feel really good mentally. Ich bin begeistert. All the hard work is done and now we’re just cruising. One more week and it’s on.
This has been the best camp of my career. There’s been no distractions, no arguments just working hard and having fun while getting better.
I had a better meal plan to cut weight leading up to this fight and it’s helped me out in training. Ich werde sein 100 percent ready on fight night.
The guy that wants it the most and whoever is the smartest in the ring will be the winner. I plan on being both.
I know DeGale wants to be great too. He’s going into people’s backyards and searching for glory. But I can’t speak for him. All I can do is speak with my actions.
“Ich erwarte keinen leichten Kampf. I’ve been the underdog before. People have written me off forever. It’s nothing new to me. DeGale is a good fighter, but I believe in myself.
I’m going to have a good jab, use my range and be smart in there. I think my skillset can take away any advantage he thinks he has. Timing kills speed.
His awkward style can make him tough to fight. He’s not by the book. He’s not very technical but he’s an excellent fighter. I don’t want any excuses from him when I beat him.
We have a good game plan and I have a good team behind me. I won’t get frustrated in there. I believe in my team and I believe in myself. I’m not worried about anything.
I’m going to win the fight. That’s the main thing. We’ll see how I get it done. If it’s a knockout, it’s a knockout. If I have to win a close decision, es spielt keine rolle. I’m going to win no matter what.
THOMAS DULORME
I feel very excited to fight under the support of Mayweather Promotions for the first time. I’m happy with the decision I made and where my career is going.
New York is my city and it’s my favorite place to fight. There are a lot of Puerto Ricans and I can’t wait to perform in front of them.
I feel very strong physically. I had a great training camp and have worked hard every day and listened to my coaches. I can’t wait to get in the ring and break my opponent down.
This is a very good show with a lot of exciting fights. All the fans should come out because it’s going to be a great night from start to finish.
LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO von Mayweather Promotions
A lot of things have contributed to Badou becoming the fighter who he is today. I think that he’s improved as a champion. A lot of the times people don’t understand what fighters have to go through early in their careers. Badou has overcome a lot of adversity, including evolving from his loss. There are very few fighters who become better fighters after they become champions. Badou is living the American Dream and Floyd and myself are very proud of him.
I predict that Badou is going to deliver a knockout. I envision him taking a handful of rounds to figure out DeGale’s style, while still being aggressive. In den späteren Runden, I think that he’s unstoppable.
James DeGale is a tremendous fighter. I’ve followed his career for quite some time. He’s a very flashy and creative fighter. He kind of makes it up as he goes. His style is unique, but there are some things that Badou and his team have put into place to disrupt DeGale. Badou Jack has seen every style out there. He’s mentally and physically prepared to take care of his opponent.
The advice I’ve given Badou is to stay focused and stay in the moment. Don’t worry about anything other than what is in front of you. You can’t look forward to the next fight or let anything throw you off. He’s put in the work. Am wichtigsten, his mental state is right where it needs to be.
Mayweather Promotions is ready to invade Brooklyn. We were able to work everything out and bring the first fight of the New Year to the city. We’re very excited to go and help Badou and the rest of our fighters put on a great show.
