Här är vad deltagarna hade att säga Onsdag:

 

AMIR KHAN

 

I really believe that I have the movement, the skills and the technique to beat Chris Algieri and look spectacular doing it.

 

Algieri has been in the ring with big names before so we know that’s not going to scare him and he won’t get nervous. I’m going to be ready for anything he brings to the table.

 

This is going to be an entertaining fight because of our styles. We both like to throw a lot of punches and there will be a lot of movement. This will be a more skillful fight and I think the fans will enjoy what they see.

 

I’ve always wanted to fight here at Barclays Center and I really am excited to put on a great performance for all the New Yorkers.

 

Virgil Hunter has been great for me as a fighter and he’s helped me really understand the sport of boxing. I’ve worked on my technique and my defense and really just everything.

 

Training camp for me has been really good. I’m focused on my opponent and I’m not going to make any mistakes. It’s going to be a great performance from me på fredag.”

 

CHRIS ALGIERI

 

This is going to be a great fight with two fast-paced boxers. It’s going to be very exciting for everyone watching.

 

Working down in Florida with John David Jackson really refreshed a lot of things in boxing for me. I got to see new things and try new things. I learned a lot.

 

The only thing that matters is proving something to myself and I do feel like I have to prove something. I wasn’t happy with my last performance at all. I know I belong here at the elite level and it’s time for me to prove it.

 

I like to challenge myself and this is a great opportunity. I’m ready for this, I will challenge anybody in the welterweight division.

 

I feel very comfortable being here in New York and I’m happy to be back at Barclays Center.

 

JAVIER FORTUNA

 

For me it is an honor to be here in Brooklyn. This will be a great night for all of my fans.

 

I hope my opponent doesn’t have any excuses på fredag, because I’m going to knock him out.

 

Everyone here is going to see a great performance and I can’t wait to get in the ring.

 

I’m a strong fighter and I am looking forward to showing everyone what I am capable of.

 

BRYAN VASQUEZ

 

I’m very thankful to be here and I look forward to a great fight. I promise it’s going to be a war.

 

I’m an exciting fighter who always comes to fight. This is my time and I will not disappoint.

 

Fighting in New York is a great opportunity. I want people to see that Costa Rica has great fighters.

 

I know I have a tough opponent, but he has never faced anyone like me. I’m going to give it my all and I hope he does the same.

 

MARCUS BROWNE

 

I feel like having a daughter has given me the kick in the rear that really has me focused on what I want to do, which is becoming a world champion. I want to give her a better life than I ever had.

 

My intensity and focus has never been higher. The fun part of boxing is back again.

 

I told my daughter that ‘daddy is going to give you the world.So I guess I need to become a world champion to give her the world. Her first word might be ‘champ.'

 

I’m so thankful to all the people at Barclays Center that allow me to continue to show off my talent and skills in this beautiful building.

 

Fighting on this Premier Boxing Champions card is really special and amazing. When I went to the Olympics in 2012 we stayed in Bolton and worked out at Amir Khan’s gym, now it comes full circle.

 

Fans can expect to see ‘spizazzfrom me. That’s a word I came up with back in my amateur days. I’m here to bring that ‘spizazz’ tillbaka, if you want to know what that is you have to buy a ticket for Fredag natt.”

 

LJUNG HÄRDADE

 

I don’t look past what is in front of me. I have a really tough challenge in front of me på fredag. I know she has an incredible desire to win and I’m ready for that.

 

I’m a pretty aggressive fighter but I’ve been known to box. I go in there and make adjustments but I’m not afraid to throw punches.

 

There was a really unfinished feeling after my last fight, I was disappointed. I expected more from my opponent. I wanted to put on a show for fans to remember.

 

I definitely want to make up for my last fight this time and I feel like my opponent is on the same page with me about where we need to go to take this sport further.

OFÖRTRYCKAD MELLANVIKT PROSPEKT DOMINISK VAD TAR DEN STÖRSTA UTMANINGEN I HANS KARRIÄR I FÖRVÄRLDSVÄRLDSKAMPAN SAM SOLIMAN FREDAG, JUNI 26 ON SHOWTIME®

ShoBox: Den nya generationen Tripleheader

Live At 10:35 p.m. OCH/PT från Little Creek Casino Resort i Shelton, Tvätta.

 

"Min tid har kommit ... jag är redo för nästa nivå." - Dominic Wade

”Min väg att återfå världstiteln börjar i juni 26 mot Dominic Wade. ” - Sam Soliman

NEW YORK (Maj 27, 2015) - Ung obesegrad mellanviktDominic "Lights Out" Wade kommer att möta den tuffaste motståndaren i sin karriär när han möter tidigare världsmästare Sam "King" Soliman i den viktigaste händelsen i ShoBox: Den nya generationenFredag, Juni 26, leva på Showtime från Little Creek Casino Resort i Shelton, Tvätta.

 

Wade (17-0, 12 Kos), Washington, D.C., och Soliman (44-12, 1 NC, 18 Kos), Melbourne, Australien, kommer att kollidera i den tio-runda mellanvikt huvudtävlingen i TGB Promotions tripleheader. I andra tv-sändningar, fd marin och 2012 US. Olympiska Lagkapten Jamel"sempre Fi" Sill (11-0, 7 Kos), från Rockville Center, N.Y., och 19-årig före detta amatör utmärkande och obesegrad super weltervikt Erickson "Hammer" Lubin (10-0, 7 Kos), Orlando Fla., kommer att presenteras mot motståndare som bestäms i separata matcher.

 

Om triumfer, Wade kommer att börja övergå från lovande utsikter till legitima utmanare i sin strävan att bli nästa ShoBox examen för att vinna ett världsmästerskap. Hittills, 61 ShoBox alums har tagit världstitlar.

 

Medan Wade är obesegrad, Soliman är mycket mer erfaren, efter att ha tävlat i fyra världsmästerskapsslag. Han höll IBF-världsmästerskapet innan han led en försvagande knäskada och förlorade via enhälligt beslut till Jermain Taylor i sitt första titelförsvar i oktober förra året. Soliman, som ledde på domarnas styrkort vid skadan, kommer att göra sin första start sedan han förlorade 160 pund-titeln.

 

”Det här är ett fantastiskt tillfälle för mig att möta en tidigare världsmästare,”Sa Wade. "Medan han är mer erfaren tror jag verkligen att min tid har kommit och jag planerar att visa boxvärlden att jag är redo för nästa nivå."

 

”Jag vet vad som krävs för att bli världsmästare, de offer som behövdes för att uthärda, striderna som måste vinnas. Min väg att återfå världstiteln börjar Juni 26 mot Dominic Wade,”Sa Soliman.

 

"Vi är mycket glada att arbeta igen med de fantastiska SHOWTIME- och Little Creek Casino Resort-lagen på detta spännande kampkort,"Sade Tom Brown av TGB kampanjer. “Wade vs.. Soliman är en utmärkt vägkorsning. Dessutom, Lubin och Herring är två av de bästa utsikterna inom boxning. ”

 

Wade, 25, kommer att göra sitt 2015 debut och tredje framträdande i nätverket. I hans första ShoBox slåss - och första 10-rundare — han gick upp i klassen och vann ett nära men tydligt beslut Nick Brinson i juni 2014. Den aggressiva sinnen 5-fots-11½-tums Wade, en toppamatör innan han går proffs i mars 2009, är 6-0 med fyra knockouts sedan han återvände till ringen i februari 2013 efter två års uppsägning på grund av reklamproblem.

 

En välkonditionerad, power puncher som ständigt stiger på världsrankingen, Wades fyra stopp har kommit in i två omgångar (en i den första, tre i andra). Wade, som hade över 160 amatör slagsmål, kommer från en andra omgång TKO över Eddie Hunter sista December. 20, i Shelton.

 

Den 5-fot-8½-tums Soliman håller en obeveklig, nästan oavbruten takt och levererar slag från udda vinklar. Tuff och hållbar, Soliman kan vara väldigt besvärlig och han är alltid konditionerad. Denna kombination gör Soliman till en mycket svår fighter att möta. Han gick 0-2 i WBA-kamp om 168 pund innan han tappar ett hak i vikt för att fånga IBF-världsmästerskapet med ett avgörande beslut om 12-omgången Felix Sturm i en omkamp i maj 31, 2014.

 

Den 41-årige Soliman, som förlorade titeln i sitt första skadade försvar mot Taylor, är 9-1-1 med en No Contest sedan maj 2008. En tidigare världsmästare i kickboxning, Soliman har utslagits bara en gång 2007 då WBA Super Middleweight World Champion Anthony Mundine. Veteranen har haft en framgångsrik men ändå ovanlig 18-årig karriär som började med en fyra-runda kamp men följde sedan med tre raka 12-rundare (allt gick avståndet) i tre olika viktuppdelningar under en period av fem månader.

 

5-fot-10-tums Sill var den 2012 USA: s nationella mästare vid 141 pund och kapten 2012 US. OS-boxningslaget. 29-åringen blev proffs i december 2012 och har varit aktiv sedan dess med fem slagsmål i 2013 och fyra i 2014. Sill, som kommer att göra sin ShoBox debut, gör sin andra start i år, kommande av ett skakigt beslut om åtta omgångar Hector Marengo Mars.

 

Sill tjänstgjorde nio år i marinkåren, inklusive två tullturer i Irak. Long Island-individen anställdes ungefär ett år efter sept. 11, 2001 terroristattacker. Sill övervägde att ge upp sporten flera gånger, särskilt efter hans spädbarns dotter, Ariynh, på grund av plötsligt spädbarnsdödssyndrom i 2009 – tre år till dagen före OS-öppningsceremonin i London. Men han övertalades av tränare och lagkamrater att hålla fast vid det.

 

Vid 19 år, Lubin är en av de yngsta boxare som dyker upp påShoBox (Francisco "Panchito" Bojado, vid 18, var den yngsta.). Lubin är en förbjuden blue-chip-prospekt som kommer att göra sitt ShoBox debut och 11th starta sedan vrida pro i november 2013. En Southpaw med god stanskraft, färdigheter och rörelse, Lubin kommer att göra sin tredje start i år och sin fjärde planerade åtta omgång.

 

Lubin hade en anmärkningsvärd amatörkarriär. Han var den 2013 National Golden Gloves mästare på 152 pounds, den 2012 Nationell PAL-mästare vid 141, den 2012 Junior Olympic National Champion på 138 pund och 2011 Nationell junior olympisk mästare vid 132 pounds.

 

Barry Tompkins kommer att kalla den ShoBox slag för slag med expertanalytiker Steve Farhood och tidigare världsmästare Raul Marquez tjänar som ringside analytiker. Den exekutiva producenten är Gordon Hall med Richard Gaughan producera och Rick Phillips riktande.

Here’s what Cotto and his trainer, Freddie Roach, hade att säga:

 

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 Juni 6, but I trust in the work we have done here in Los Angeles and I’m going to bring my best too.”

 

“After 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. Boxning är mitt liv. 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 ofJuni 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 Juni 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, en 12-runda kamp för Cotto s WBC och ring Magazine Mellanvikt VM, sker Lördag, Juni 6 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and will be televised live on HBO. Kampen, which is presented by Roc Nation Sports and Miguel Cotto Promotions in association with Gary Shaw Productions, will be the official kick-off event of the 2015 National Puerto Rican Day Parade Week and is sponsored by Cerveza Tecate, Jaybird, TapouT, Tequila Cazadores and Venue Kings.

För omedelbar publicering

Baltimore, MD (Maj 27, 2015) – Jake Smith, CEO of Baltimore Boxing Promotions, and his family recently met with Baltimore City Police officials.

Smith, a longtime promoter in the Charm City and former professional boxer, was personally impacted by the riots as his gym was temporarily shut down. Having spent his entire life in and around Baltimore, Smith called the riots the worst thing he’s ever seen and feared for the safety of those that had neighboring businesses. Within a few days, order was restored due to an outstanding effort by the Baltimore PD.

During the visit, which included time with Chief of Staff Ganesha Martin and Commissioner Anthony Batts, Smith personally thanked them for their heroic efforts. He also donated tickets for his Maj 29 “Blood, Sweat & Tears” fight card at Michael’s Eighth Avenue to the department and will honor them during the evening.

“The police are unsung heroes in almost every community,"Sade Smith. “It’s unfortunate that certain isolated incidents have many people feeling like law enforcement is bad. 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.”

Tickets for “Blood, Sweat & Tears” can be purchased by calling 410-375-9175 eller gå till Baltimoreboxing.com. Enskilda biljetter börjar på $25 och VIP tabeller 10 är tillgängliga för $500. Alla VIP ticketholders kan njuta av gratis hors d'oeurves från 7-8 pm, the best seats in the house and a special meet and greet with five time world champion Vinny Paz.

In addition to honoring the policemen and women, Baltimore Boxing is proudly teaming up with Unified Efforts. Since their founding in 2012 by former Baltimore detective Debbie Ramsey, Unified Efforts is a full-service bullying prevention organization that has helped raise awareness throughout theCharm City. To assist with the program,

Baltimore Boxing will donate tickets and proceeds from a 50/50 raffle on fight night.

Steve Upsher Chambers to have homecoming bout this Friday night at Stadium Holiday Inn in Philadelphia

Frank De Alba to fight Bernardo Gomez Uribe for UBF Lightweight title in main event; Plus Farah Ennis, Raynell Williams, Miguel Cruz, Samuel Figueroa, Christopher Brooker and Leo Hall
För omedelbar publicering
Philadelphia (Maj 27,2015)Denna fredag natt vid Stadium Holiday

Inn i Philadelphia, King’s Promotions presents a great night of championship boxing that will headlined by 10-round UBF Lightweight championship bout between Frankie De Alba (15-1-2, 5 KO: s) och Bernardo Gomez Uribe (14-3, 10 KO: s).
In one of the 8-round co-features, Steve Upsher Chambers (24-4-1, 6 KO: s) returns to the city where he cut his teeth as a professional to take on Alejandro Rodriguez (24-16-1, 14 KO: s) i en Jr. Weltervikt bout.
Chambers, who came originally to Philadelphia with former Heavyweight title challenger, “Snabb” Eddie Chambers, kämpade 23 times and the famed Blue Horizon in Philadelphia and will be making his first start in the City of Brotherly Love in almost 6 år.
I have been training hard and working on opening my new gym with (lättvikts kandidat) Rod Salka,” said Upsher.
I am on weight already and I feel good. We will be fighting at 142 pounds.”
Upsher is ready to show the fans how far his abilities have grown since he turned pro in Philadelphia in 2003 när han var bara 18 år gammal.
I am happy to be coming back to Philadelphia. I want to show people how far I have come and see the improvement that I have made as a fighter.
Despite losing his three bouts to the likes of former world champions Luis Collazo and Andre Berto as well as then-undefeated prospect Eddie Gomez, Upsher was competitive in all those bouts and grew tremendously from those experiences.
It showed that I can compete against that level of fighter. Plus everyone of those guys was bigger than me. Jag är en naturlig 140 pounder and can make 135 if the right opportunity presented itself.
Chambers went back to his native Pittsburgh to train in neighboring city Coal Center, PA.
My mind is set on winning a world title at 140 pounds. After the three losses, I cant afford any missteps. People see about the losses. I know I have the ability to be a world champion and on Maj 29 that will start to show.
On the veteran opponent, Rodriguez, Upsher said, “I know he is tough and from Mexico. I will look at a little film before the fight and go from there. I really don’t worry about what he will do. He should worry about me. This fight is redemption for me. It’s a start and then I would like to right all of the losses. But first I am looking for a dominant performance på fredag then I want to end all doubts.
An outstanding undercard has been assembled.

AMIR KHAN & CHRIS ALGIERI FIGHT WEEK QUOTES PLUS! PHOTOS FROM BROOKLYN BRIDGE PARK

Klicka HÄR För bilder från Ed Diller / DiBella Entertainment

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 Fredag natt.

 

I am excited to be back in New York and excited to show the world what I am really made of på fredag natt. 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 Fredag natt.”

TUREANO JOHNSON PROVIDING GREAT SPARRING FOR DANIEL GEALE

 

NEW JERSEY (Maj 26, 2015)Gary Shaw Productions mellanvikt utmanare, 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.
