Hughie Fury rated #6 par WBO; Eager to conquer challenges in and out of the ring
Manchester, Lancashire, Royaume-Uni (Mai 16, 2016) – Fast rising heavyweight Hughie Fury has been ranked #6 dans le monde par l'Organisation mondiale de boxe (WBO).
Fury captured the WBO’s Intercontinental belt April 30 via 7eround technical decision over awkward Fred Kassi. At 21years old, Fury has a perfect 20-0 professional ledger and stopped ten of his opponents. During the last fifteen months, Fury’s passed multiple tough tests having outpointed noteworthy fighters in Andriy Rudenko, Georges Arias, Dominick Guinn and Kassi.
Lan July 9, Fury looks to shine on his biggest stage yet when he faces an opponent to be named in a ten or twelve round fight. The fight will appear on the undercard of the world heavyweight championship showdown between champion Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitschko at the Manchester Arena.
Hungry but humble, Fury is very pleased with his world ranking and plans to win the WBO world championship.
“I’m overwhelmed that the WBO has me listed in the top six in the world,” said Fury. “I’m a loyal person and will repay the WBO by winning their world title just like my cousin Tyson.”
Even with his notable success and high praise throughout the boxing world, Fury’s been battling a grueling opponent out of the ring that has prevented him from being 100 pour cent.
According to Dr. Ian R. Blanc, Fury’s suffering from acne conglobata which could result in malaise, fluctuating fevers and joint pain. The condition has to be treated aggressively with medications in order to keep his career progressing.
Heureusement, he’s responding well and things are looking up.
“I’ve been dealing with fatigue and a skin problem that caused my body to breakdown. I know people in the boxing world have taken note of this and I appreciate their concern. The good news is I have been given treatment to clear my skin once and for all. Je suis 21 years old and am going to show the world what I’m about in the next year and hopefully there will be another world champion in the Fury family.”
Fury’s opponent will be announced shortly.

DEONTAY WILDER STATEMENT ON HIS TITLE DEFENSE FIGHT AGAINST ALEXANDER POVETKIN
MAI 15, 2016 – In the wake of the news on Friday that Alexander Povetkin tested positive for the banned substance meldonium, WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder and his representatives have been made aware of the WBC’s decision on Sunday that the fight will not occur in Moscow on May 21.
“I’m very disappointed that due to Povetkin’s failed drug test the fight is not going to happen on May 21 à Moscou,” said Deontay Wilder. “I had worked very hard to prepare myself for this important title defense, spending the last two weeks training in England to get accustomed to fighting in Europe. I wanted to give the fans a great show, but we understand the WBC’s position that the fight occur on an even playing field.”
Povetkin, the WBC No. 1 heavyweight championship contender, tested positive for the substance in a urine test conducted by the Las Vegas-based Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VA DONNER) sur Avril 27.
“Based upon Povetkin’s positive test for meldonium, and with the health and safety of Deontay Wilder the paramount consideration, this fight could not take place next Saturday,” said DiBella. “As a result of Povetkin’s use of a banned substance and breach of contract, Deontay Wilder was deprived of an opportunity to defend his title as he was prepared to – on an even playing field. He and his team have suffered substantial damages as a result. Any talk of rescheduling by Mr. Ryabinskiy at this point is unfounded and premature. Team Wilder will await further communications from the WBC and will weigh all our options given what has transpired.”
The 30-year-old Wilder (36-0, 35 KOs) and his team were supposed to fly to Moscow on Sunday for a week of preparation and promotion leading up to the fight. Maintenant, Wilder will return home to Tuscaloosa, Alabama and await further information from the WBC.
“This is a huge disappointment and a setback to my goals in boxing. I want to be an active heavyweight champion and it is still my goal to collect all the belts and become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world,” Wilder dit.

Washington, DC (Mai 14, 2016) - 122 candidat à la livre Luis «Orlandito» Del Valle (22-2, 16 KO) de Bayamon, Porto Rico a marqué une nette, décision unanime en huit tours contre le gaucher local Thomas «KO» Snow (18-3, 12 KO) vendredi, Mai 13 au DC Armory à Washington, D.C.
Combattre sur Roc Nation Sports’ Boxe du trône sur BET, Del Valle a cherché à donner le ton en faisant pression sur Snow basé à DC lors du premier tour. Dans la seconde, l'ancien champion poids plume NABA a décroché un certain nombre de mains droites droites, dont un qui a envoyé Snow vers le bas. Sentant qu'un KO peut être imminent, Del Valle a essaimé de neige mais il a réussi à sortir de la ronde.
Le troisième a vu Del Valle atterrir un crochet gauche parfait qui a de nouveau laissé tomber Snow, qui s'est effectivement attaché après avoir goûté la toile. Del Valle a continué à appuyer sur l'action dans les quatrième et cinquième strophes, tandis que Snow commençait à bouger ses mains mais se tenait toujours fréquemment. Snow a trouvé des moments de succès dans le sixième et a réalisé son meilleur tour au septième, au cours de laquelle il s'est connecté avec un tir dur qui a déséquilibré l'attention de Del Valle. Toujours à la recherche d'un KO, Del Valle a poussé l'action à la huitième cependant, Snow l'a ligoté à plusieurs reprises et a fini sur ses pieds.
Alors que la plupart des fans et des anneaux avaient Del Valle remportant au moins six tours, les scores étaient étonnamment 76-74 sur tous les trois tableaux de bord.
"Thomas Snow était un combattant très ludique et je lui lève mon chapeau pour être un compétiteur coriace,”A déclaré Del Valle peu de temps après la victoire. «J'aurais aimé l'avoir fini, mais il m'attachait constamment. Je pensais que l'arbitre l'aurait averti ou pris un point, mais cela ne s'est pas produit. Ce combat a été une bonne expérience d’apprentissage et, comme JAY Z le dit, «c’est sur le prochain». »
"Je veux mettre la main sur l'un des champions ou des meilleurs prétendants à 122 livres. Depuis que j'ai commencé la boxe, mon objectif était de devenir champion du monde. J'espère avoir la chance de me battre pour l'une des ceintures bientôt car je ne veux rien de plus que de ramener une ceinture de titre mondial à Porto Rico. "
