UNDEFEATED MIDDLEWEIGHT PROSPECT DOMINIC WADE TAKES ON TOUGHEST CHALLENGE OF HIS CAREER IN FORMER WORLD CHAMP SAM SOLIMAN FRIDAY, Juin 26 SUR SHOWTIME®

ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération tripleheader

Vit à 10:35 p.m. ET/PT From Little Creek Casino Resort in Shelton, Laver.

 

“My time has arrived…I’m ready for the next level.” – Dominic Wade

“My road to regaining the world title begins on June 26 against Dominic Wade.” – Sam Soliman

NEW YORK (Mai 27, 2015) – Young undefeated middleweight prospectDominic "Extinction des feux" Patauger will take on the toughest opponent of his career when he faces former world champion Sam "King" Soliman dans l'événement principal de ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération sur Vendredi, Juin 26, survivre AFFICHER L'HEURE à partir de Little Creek Casino Resort à Shelton, Laver.

 

Patauger (17-0, 12 KOs), de Washington, À courant continu, and Soliman (44-12, 1 Caroline du Nord, 18 KOs), de Melbourne, Australie, will clash in the 10-round middleweight main event of the TGB Promotions tripleheader. Dans d'autres épisodes télévisés, former Marine and 2012 U.S.. Capitaine de l'équipe olympique Jamel"Semper Fi" Hareng (11-0, 7 KOs), of Rockville Centre, N. Y., and 19-year-old former amateur standout and unbeaten super welterweight Erickson "Hammer" Lubin (10-0, 7 KOs), d'Orlando en Floride., will be featured against opponents to be determined in separate bouts.

 

Si triomphante, Wade will begin to transition from promising prospect to legitimate contender in his quest to become the next ShoBox graduate to win a world championship. À ce jour, 61 ShoBox alums have captured world titles.

 

While Wade is unbeaten, Soliman is vastly more experienced, having competed in four world championship fights. He held the IBF Middleweight World Championship before suffering a debilitating knee injury and losing via unanimous decision to Jermain Taylor in his first title defense last October. Soliman, who was leading on the judges’ scorecards at the time of the injury, will make his first start since losing the 160-pound title.

 

“This is a great opportunity for me to face a former world champion,” Wade said. “While he’s more experienced I truly believe my time has arrived and I plan to show the boxing world that I’m ready for the next level.”

 

“I know what it takes to be a world champion, the sacrifices needed to endure, the battles that need to be won. My road to regaining the world title begins on Juin 26 against Dominic Wade,” said Soliman.

 

“We’re very excited to work once again with the terrific SHOWTIME and Little Creek Casino Resort teams on this exciting fight card,», A déclaré Tom Brown de TGB Promotions. “Wade vs. Soliman is an excellent cross-roads bout. En outre, Lubin and Herring are two of the best prospects in boxing.”

 

Patauger, 25, sera à sa 2015 debut and third appearance on the network. In his first ShoBox fight – and first 10-rounderhe stepped up in class and won a close but clear decision over Nick Brinson en Juin 2014. The aggressive-minded 5-foot-11½-inch Wade, a top amateur before going pro in March 2009, est 6-0 with four knockouts since returning to the ring in February 2013 after a two-year layoff due to promotional problems.

 

A well-conditioned, power puncher who is steadily ascending in the world rankings, Wade’s four stoppages have come inside two rounds (one in the first, three in the second). Patauger, who had over 160 combats amateurs, is coming off a second-round TKO over Eddie Hunter dernier Décembre. 20, à Shelton.

 

The 5-foot-8½-inch Soliman keeps a relentless, almost non-stop pace and delivers punches from odd angles. Tough and durable, Soliman can be very awkward and he is always well-conditioned. This combination makes Soliman a very difficult fighter to face. Il est allé 0-2 in WBA 168-pound world title fights before dropping a notch in weight to capture the IBF Middleweight World Championship with a decisive 12-round decision over Felix Sturm in a rematch on May 31, 2014.

 

The 41-year-old Soliman, who lost the title in his first injury-marred defense against Taylor, est 9-1-1 with one No Contest since May 2008. A former kickboxing world champion, Soliman has been knocked out just once – in 2007 by then WBA Super Middleweight World Champion Anthony Mundine. The veteran has had a successful yet unusual 18-year career that began with a four-round fight but then followed with three straight 12-rounders (all went the distance) in three different weight divisions over a period of five months.

 

The 5-foot-10-inch Hareng était le 2012 United States National Champion at 141 pounds and captained the 2012 U.S.. Olympic Games boxing team. The 29-year-old turned pro in December 2012 and has remained active since with five fights in 2013 and four in 2014. Hareng, who will be making his ShoBox début, is making his second start of this year, coming off a lopsided eight-round decision over Hector Marengo en mars.

 

Herring served nine years in the Marine Corps including two tours of duty in Iraq. The Long Island native enlisted about a year after the Sept. 11, 2001 Attaques terroristes. Herring considered giving up the sport multiple times, particularly after the death of his infant daughter, Ariynh, due to sudden infant death syndrome in 2009 – three years to the day before the Olympic Games opening ceremony in London. But he was persuaded by coaches and teammates to stick with it.

 

À 19 ans, Lubin is one of the youngest boxers to appear onShoBox (Francisco “Panchito” Bojado, à 18, was the youngest.). Lubin is a heralded blue-chip prospect who will be making his ShoBox débuts et 11e démarrer depuis le tournant pro en Novembre 2013. A southpaw with good punching power, skills and movement, Lubin will be making his third start this year and his fourth scheduled eight-round bout.

 

Lubin had a remarkable amateur career. Il était le 2013 Golden Gloves champion national au 152 livres, la 2012 National PAL Champion at 141, la 2012 Junior Olympic National Champion at 138 pounds and the 2011 National Junior Olympic Champion at 132 livres.

Here’s what Cotto and his trainer, Freddie Roach, avait à dire:

 

Miguel Cotto – WBC & Ring Magazine Middleweight World Champion

 

“I feel good and in the best shape possible. I just feel ready. I know Geale is a tough opponent and he is going to bring his best on Juin 6, but I trust in the work we have done here in Los Angeles and I’m going to bring my best too.”

 

"Après 14 years in boxing, the best decision I could have made was to take the last year off. My mind was not in boxing, but since I got here with Freddie, everything is working perfectly again. Boxing is all I know. La boxe est ma vie. Through boxing, I raised my family and I work to provide the best future for them. They are the reason I love boxing.”

 

“Boxing at this point in my career is a battle with myself. Everyday I need to bring my best in the gym from morning to evening. Next week has to be better than last week. I need to ask myself to be better every day. I know that if I bring my best to the gym every day, I can bring my best the night ofJuin 6 against Geale.”

“Freddie comes here every day with the best attitude and he knows how to get the best out of me.”

 

“It will have been 364 days to the day on Juin 6 since I have been in the ring. It’s not difficult to get back in after this long stretch. I’ve been focused on my work. I have gained more knowledge during my time off in order to get myself ready to fight again.”

 

“Daniel Geale is the next chapter in my career. After I get through him, I can talk about what comes next.”

 

Freddie Roach – Cotto’s Trainer

“Miguel’s sparring has been great. His movement has been very good. It’s hard on me in the ring! His body shots are very effective and the head shots come with it. I think we are going to get a late round knockout. Geale is tough enough to go some rounds, but a knockout in a late round…that’s my call.”

 

“One of Miguel’s greatest strength against Geale will be his body shots, but Miguel’s knowledge in the ring will be Geale’s ultimate undoing.”

 

“He has found a new home here at Wild Card and I’m glad I provided that for him. He loves this gym. He loves the atmosphere. He’s thrived in this environment and when a fighter is in a good mood and happy, he performs at the highest level.”

 

Cotto vs. Geale, un combat de 12 rounds pour Magazine Championnats du monde WBC et Ring Cotto, a lieu Samedi, Juin 6 au Barclays Center à Brooklyn et sera télédiffusée en direct sur HBO.

He also donated tickets for his Mai 29 “Blood, Sueur & Tears” fight card at Michael’s Eighth Avenue to the department and will honor them during the evening.

We all must remember the good that they’ve done in keeping us safe. They risk their lives to keep crime, drugs and guns off the streets. It’s also important for people in Baltimore to remember how scary it was living here during the riots. The men and women of the police department literally had to face violent protesters while significantly outnumbered. For all that they did to restore the city I love, the absolute least I can do is donate tickets and honor them on fight night. I believe that we all owe them a big thank you for protecting us.”

Here is what Khan and Algieri had to say about training camp, each other and more:

 

Amir KHAN

 

Algieri is a fighter that has a lot of skills and assets. His range and height give him good advantages against opponents but I believe with my speed, movement and style it will be too much for him.

 

Each day me and Virgil Hunter are getting stronger and we have built a really good rapport. It takes time to get that but he understands my style even more now and what works for me so we’re only going to keep growing.

 

My aim since I was a kid and got into this sport was to be the very best. I fulfilled a dream when I got to the Olympics at 17 and brought back a silver medal. Later I became a world champion and then unified the light-welterweight division. My goal now is to fight the very best at 147 pounds and make my mark on this division too.

 

I was away in training camp when my daughter turned one last week. It’s hard to be away from her but as a fighter those are the sacrifices you have to make. Everything I do is for her and I can’t wait to see her and spend time with her after this fight. Her birthday celebrations have been put on hold until after the fight!

 

I’m really looking forward to returning to New York and fighting at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. I have good memories of this city because it’s the place where I had my first fight on US soil against Paulie Malignaggi in 2010 and also where I got married. I’m out to make it another good time this weekend.

 

 

CHRIS Algieri

I know that it gets said all the time, but this was truly the best and most intense training camp of my life. Working with John David Jackson has truly been a blessing. He has brought out the best Chris Algieri there is. You are going to see a whole new fighter come Vendredi nuit.

 

I am excited to be back in New York and excited to show the world what I am really made of vendredi nuit. We are just a few days away from the fight and I am so anxious to get in there and get to work.

 

Amir is a tough fighter there is no doubt about that, but I am very confident in my ability and the game plan that coach has come up with for me.

 

You are going to see two proven champions in a high intensity and high level fight, laying everything on the line come Vendredi nuit.”

TUREANO JOHNSON PROVIDING GREAT SPARRING FOR DANIEL GEALE

 

NEW JERSEY (Mai 26, 2015)Gary Shaw Productions moyens prétendante, Tureano Johnson (18-1, 13 KOs), is now the chief sparring partner for Daniel Geale (31-3, 16 KOs) as he prepares him for his upcoming WBC title clash with Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32 KOs). Johnson, who captured the WBA International and WBC Silver middleweight titles in his last bout, is currently ranked WBC #2, WBA #5, IBF #8 and WBO #13. He gives his thought on sparring with Geale.

 

Daniel Geale is a special fighter who possesses a lot of boxing skills,” said Tuerano Johnson. “He’s looking real sharp in the gym and his power is there. I can feel the snap on his punches and I think Miguel Cotto is in for a big surprise. Everyone is counting Geale out but not me. Gary Shaw brought me in to test Geale’s skills and after a few days of sparring, I believe Daniel will be crowned champion.

 

I brought Tureano to the gym to spar with Geale because he’s a good look to emulate Cotto and he’s one of the top fighters in the middleweight division,” Gary Shaw said. “The feedback I got from Johnson about sparring Geale is very positive. I’m confident that Daniel will use everything in his playbook to come out victorious.

 

Tureano Johnson is currently riding a 4-fight winning streak, three of which came by stoppage. Highly ranked across the board of all sanctioning organizations, Johnson is on the cusp of landing a big fight.
