In Eyubov, Ennis will take on his toughest test to date as he looks to continue his rapid ascension in one boxing’s deepest divisions. The switch-hitter has scored 14 consecutive knockouts as has his level opposition has steadily increased since turning professional in 2016. He returned from a nine-month layoff in August of 2019 with a first round TKO of Franklin Mamani and followed that up with a third round TKO of Demian Fernandez on October 5. Against Fernandez, the come-forward and aggressive Ennis landed 43 percent of his power shots as he switched from orthodox to southpaw in a clinical performance in the main event of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIALUTGÅVA.



Widely regarded as one of the top prospects in boxing, Ennis had two emphatic knockout victories on ShoBox: Den nya generationen i 2018.

Quickly making a name for himself in the welterweight division, Eyubov tore through his first ten professional opponents, knocking them all out within the first three rounds including a third-round stoppage of Jared Robinson on ShoBox i 2016. Eyubov also owns impressive wins over Nicholas Givan (21-2-1) and Karim Mayfield (21-5-1) but is winless in his last two outings, including a majority draw with Jose Luis Rodriguez and a unanimous decision loss to undefeated Brian Ceballo. With just 16 professional fights to his name since moving on from the amateur ranks in 2012, Eyubov is eager to turn heads with a career-defining win over the highly regarded Ennis.



"I januari 10, Jaron Ennis is going to be in the hardest fight of his life,” Eyubov said. “He has never faced anyone with my strength, skills and will to win. Bakha Bullet will shoot to do damage in Atlantic City and hand Ennis his first loss.”



“The Ennis vs. Eyubov fight is a classic crossroads fight and a must-win for both fighters,” said Eyubov promoter Dmitriy Salita. “It’s a big test for Ennis, who is a slick, skilled boxer, and a potentially career-changing opportunity for the aggressive, powerful and formerly world-rated contender in Eyubov. We expect fireworks on January 10th.

BROOKLYN (December 16, 2019) – Two-division world championDanny “Swift’’ Garcien returns to the ring to take on hard-hitting sluggerIvan “El Terrible’’ Redkach in a 12-round WBC welterweight title eliminator Saturday, Januari 25 leva på Showtime från Barclays Center, hemmet till BROOKLYN BOXING ™, in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

I co-funktionen, former unified 154-pound champion“Swift” Jarrett Hurdwill return to battle all-actionFrancisco “Chia” Santanai en 10-runda super weltervikt tävling, mer sensational super bantamweight Stephen “Cool Boy Steph’’ Fultonkommer att möta obesegradeArnold Khegaiin a 12-round WBO Super Bantamweight title eliminator to open SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING action at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

García’s blend of power and sublime boxing skills has made him one of the most popular boxers of the last decade and secured him as a box-office fixture at Barclays Center, where he holds the record for the largest crowd for a boxing event. He set the benchmark when 16,533 attended his welterweight title unification match against Keith Thurman on March 4, 2017 in a bout that aired in primetime on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS. The fight against Redkach will be Garcia’s eighth appearance at Barclays Center.

“Barclays Center fan-favorite Danny García is back in Brooklyn as he continues his quest for the top spot in the welterweight division,”Sa Tom Brown, VD för TGB Promotions. “Danny has been in the biggest fights at Barclays Center and on January 25 there are sure to be fireworks when hard-hitting Ivan Redkach looks for a career-defining win. Redkach has upset the odds before and there’s no doubt he’ll leave it all in the ring with this opportunity to move closer to a world title fight. Combined with a former unified champion known for action fights in Jarrett Hurd, plus a rising star in Stephen Fulton, this card is loaded with intrigue from top to bottom.”

“Danny García and Jarrett Hurd are two of the biggest stars in the sport because they have consistently taken on the toughest challenges and they are always in all-action, exciting fights,"Sade Stephen Espinoza, President Sports & händelse Programming, Showtime Networks Inc. “On January 25, both men are fighting to maintain their place at the top of two of boxing’s deepest divisions in important, must-win fights. Add in two undefeated, promising contenders in the opener and we have the recipe for an explosive night of fights on SHOWTIME.”

“We’re thrilled to host our first boxing event of 2020 by welcoming Danny García back for his eighth fight at Barclays Center and have Jarrett Hurd return to the arena where he’s had some memorable victories,” said Keith Sheldon, EVP of Programming and Development for BSE Global. “Danny specifically has built an enthusiastic fan base in the borough, becoming one of the most popular fighters in our arena, and we can’t wait to see his supporters out in full force as he steps back into our ring against Ivan Redkach.”

Biljetter till evenemanget, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and DSG Promotions, are on-sale now and can be purchased atticketmaster.com ochbarclayscenter.com. Tickets also can be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Grupprabatter finns genom att ringa 844-BKLYN-GP. The Fulton vs. Khegai bout is promoted in association with Salita Promotions.

García (35-2, 21 Kos) is the latest in a long line of great boxers from Philadelphia who have made their mark on the sport. His run through the super lightweight division and two-year reign as a unified champion is one of the most impressive in modern history as he defeated a string of champions, including Nate Campbell, Kendall Holt, Erik Morales, Amir Khan, Zab Judah och Lucas Matthysse.

After dominating the super lightweight division, the 31-year-old García moved up to welterweight where he won the vacant WBC title with a unanimous decision over Robert Guerrero in 2016. He lost a split decision to Thurman in a unification match in 2017 and dropped a narrow unanimous decision to Shawn Porter for the WBC title in 2018. García and many pundits thought he won both those matches. I hans sista match, García scored a spectacular knockout victory over Adrian Granados on April 20 to get back into position to regain the welterweight crown.

“I’m very excited to be headlining another SHOWTIME card and to go back to Barclays Center, my home away from home,” said García. “I can’t wait to step in the ring in Brooklyn and give fans the Danny García show. I watched a few of Redkach’s recent fights and he had a great knockout win over two-time champion Devon Alexander. Så, I know he’s a tough fighter and competitor who I expect to bring the best out of me, and he’s someone who deserves this opportunity. But January 25 is tax season, so I’m going to have to tax him and pay him with a reality check.”

REDK (23-4-1, 18 Kos) has his sights set on winning a welterweight title and will face the toughest challenge of his career when he steps in against Garcia. The 33-year-old Redkach, who was born in Shostka, Ukraine and now lives in Los Angeles, is accustomed to stern tests. He started boxing as an amateur in Ukraine where he had over 300 slagsmål. When he turned professional he traveled to Mexico to train and develop the “Mexican Style’’ – a style that emphasis standing in the pocket and throwing hard shots to the body.

Things started out slowly for Redkach, but soon he began to hold his own in Mexico and prevailed, earning the nickname “El Terrible’’ from his training partners. Redkach won 14 av hans första 18 professional fights by stoppage and has won three in a row, including most recently knocking out former world champion Devon Alexander in June.

“I’m very motivated to take a massive step in my career and get closer to becoming world champion against a strong and accomplished fighter like Danny García,” said Redkach. “I have been to a lot of Danny’s fights and now I get the chance to test myself against him. I am training very hard so that I am the best that I have ever been on January 25. I’m going to shock the boxing world just like I did against Devon Alexander. I’ve never been this hungry before and I’m confident I will win this fight.”

The former WBA and IBF champion at 154-pounds, Hurd (23-1, 16 Kos) returns to action for the first time since losing his belts via decision against Julian Williams in one of 2019’s best fights. The 29-year-old from Accokeek, Maryland captured his first title by stopping current WBC titlist Tony Harrison in 2017 and then added the WBA belt by defeating Erislandy Lara in 2018’s consensus Fight of the Year. Hurd earned his title opportunity by going on a run of knocking off unbeaten fighters including Frank Galarza and Oscar Molina, and also owns a successful title defense against Austin Trout at Barclays Center in 2017.

“Just because I fell back, doesn’t mean I fell off,” said Hurd. “I’m back and excited to fight at Barclays Center for the third time. I’m bringing the storm back on January and I’m going to make a statement everyone is going to see. You’re not going to want to miss this fight and the best Jarrett Hurd anyone’s seen.”

Santana (25-7-1, 12 Kos) has taken on the toughest challenges at 154 och 147 pounds and has made his name with an all-action action style throughout a long career as a contender. The 33-year-old will look to bounce back from a close decision loss to Abel Ramos in March, in a fight where Santana dropped Ramos in the second round. Prior to the setback against Ramos, the Santa Barbara, California native was coming off of a victory over Olympic gold medalist Felix Diaz in April 2018. Santana has faced former champions Jermell Charlo and Sadam Ali while also owning a six-round draw against Julian Williams in 2011.

“This is a great opportunity for me against a fighter like Jarrett Hurd,” said Santana. “When you get an opportunity like this, it’s hard to turn it down. My job is to rise to the occasion and have the best moment of my career on fight night. This is my Super Bowl. When I last fought at 154-pounds, I was basically self-trained. Now I have my coach Joseph Janik training me and I really think he’s the missing piece of the puzzle for me. I’m going to go in there and leave it all in the ring January 25.”

The 25-year-old Fulton (17-0, 8 Kos) has made a rapid rise through the super bantamweight ranks with superb boxing skills, befitting a slick fighter from Philadelphia. Lately Fulton has shown flashes of power that have caught his opponents off guard. In his last fight he stopped Isaac Avelar with a body shot to end their fight in the fifth round on August 24.

Fighting out of Odessa, Ukraine and training for this fight in Los Angeles, Khegai (16-0-1, 10 Kos) will make his third start in the U.S. januari 25, after a successful U.S. debut in in May 2018 when he defeated Adam Lopez on the prospect developmental seriesShoBox: Den nya generationen. The 27-year-old has already been victorious twice in 2019, stopping Haidari Mchanjo in March and most recently winning a unanimous decision over Vladimir Tikhonov in August onShoBox.

Who will be the true king of heavyweights? Wilder and Fury will decide in 2020

Lämna en kommentar

Despite rumors surrounding it for years, professional boxing is still alive, and it’s still far in front of MMA judged by public interest and the prize money. One of the reasons for that are heavyweights, especially Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury and a bit less Anthony Joshua who just avenged the only loss of his career. Fortfarande, there is no doubt that Wilder and Fury are the cream of the crop, and their fight in 2020 will decide who is the king of the most popular division.

We won’t have to wait much for the dream match, as the contract is signed for February 22nd, as the fight will take in Las Vegas, probably in MGM grand where Fury made his impressive American debut, destroying Tom Schwartz in June 2019. Wilder also loves the place, since he became a champion there, defeating Bermane Stiverne and he recently defended the title against Ortiz. But what makes their second bout as exciting as RPG Sex Games, is that no one is a clear favorite.

The thing is Wilder and Fury are extremely different fighters. Fury is in the best shape of his career recently, and when it comes to boxing skills, he is far ahead of Wilder. As demonstrated by their first meeting, Fury is not a one-trick pony as he knows how to change pace and attack his opponent with both hands and in different ways. He can punch, but he is far from being impatient. He is the reason why no one believes that his match against the American will end early. Even on his bad day, Fury can withstand almost anything and knows how to overturn the match. As for the Wilder, he is a whole different story. He started boxing very late, and during his career, he was doubted even by experts that claimed he is a contender at best. There is no doubt about it – Wilder is the one with the ultimate power. Give him a chance to land a solid punch, and that is probably it for the night. That alone is what made him come out of the match with Fury undefeated, rocking him twice. Men, Fury is the first opponent that was able to get up after such devastating shots, even though that took away his victory.

It’s hard to predict the winner as it’s much easier to make a list of excellent Android Sex Games. What we can predict is that this fight will highly unlikely be finished in early rounds, as it is highly unlikely that Wilder will win if he doesn’t drop Fury a few times. Judged by that, Fury looks like an early favorite in this one, but when you have a strong puncher like Wilder, it’s almost impossible not to let him land a single devastating punch in all 12 rundor. If you are neutral and want to see a good fight, this is the one you don’t want to miss!

OFFICIELLA RESULTAT "NEW ENGLAND EXPLOSION"

SPRINGFIELD, Mäss. (December 13, 2019) — Stigande Connecticut stjärnorRICHIE “POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN” RIVERA och“ÅTGÄRD” ANTHONY LAUREANO båda förblev obesegrade med imponerande prestanda ikväll på ett solidt "New England Explosion" -kort framför en entusiastisk publik på MassMutual Center i Springfield, Massachusetts.

“New England Explosion," Presenterat avJOE DEGUARDIA'S STARBOXING, sponsrad av MGM Springfield, sändes live i ett första för New England Sports Network (NESN), och strömmade över hela världen (exklusive N.E.) påwww.FITE.TV.

Tunghänt Rivera (nu 16-0, 12 Kos) tog sin kraft upp till kryssningsviktdivisionen mot "MIGHTY ”JOE JONES(nu 11-2, 8 Kos), som oförklarligt höll händerna mycket låga, när "Popeye" bankade honom mot huvudet och kroppen i huvudhändelsen. Rivera slog Jones med allt annat än diskbänken, i vad som såg ut som vadslagning ibland, även om "Popeye" inte registrerade ett stopp för bara tredje gången i 16 pro strider. .

Det var en grov, fysisk kamp som blev chippy tidigt med båda kämparna utbyte avfallssamtal och showboating. Rivera, som kommer från Hartford, pressade handlingen under hela kampen mot en defensiv Jones, som bytte till en peep-a-boo-stil i de senare omgångarna.

”Jag är stark till mål eftersom jag äter min spenat ..., tut! Min tränare sa att jag skulle koppla av men, ärligt, Jag satte på en show. Mer eller mindre, Jag agerade,”Rivera pratade om grovhousing. ”Han var tuff. Mitt team sa att ruta. Planen var inte att göra en knockout. Jag kastade några stora bilder bara för att berätta för honom.

”Jag är så glad att ha haft min sjunde kamp i år. Jag har varit aktiv och jag är obesegrad. Jag försöker sätta upp en show för fansen och vara en förebild. ”

I co-main event, Laureano (nu 13-0, 4 Kos), en 2016 New England Golden Gloves mästare från närliggande East Hartford, CT., besegrade Texas super lättviktANGEL "AZTEC WARRIOR" HERNANDEZ (17-14-2, 11 Kos) i en tå-till-tå-strid från öppningen . Denna TV-vänliga kamp kunde ha kämpats i en ordspråkig telefonkiosk. Laureano, som vanligt, var obeveklig i sin attack, systematiskt bryta ner sin motståndare med ett starkt kroppsarbete av sig själv, såväl som till synes landning av uppercuts och vänstra krokar när som helst.

Laureano tog kontrollen i den andra och släppte aldrig mot ett spel Hernandez, som, som Laureano, slutade aldrig kasta stansar. Så småningom, Laureano vann ett enhälligt beslut i åtta omgångar i ett vild underhållande, mycket konkurrenskraftig kollision.

"Det var vackert,”Kommenterade Laureano. ”Jag gillar krig, mina tränare inte. Jag låter mina känslor ta över. Det var en vacker kamp, fast, alla handlingar och folket älskade det. Men jag kämpade hans kamp. Jag anpassade mig och visade en del av min boxningsförmåga vid vissa punkter.

”Han är erfaren och kom självförtroende. Han fortsatte att komma; Han är tuff. Detta kommer att bygga mig till en bättre fighter. Jag gjorde mycket bra saker. Målet är att lära av varje kamp, Jag ska, och vi kommer tillbaka till ritbordet. ”

Danbury, CT super lättOMAR "THE BEAST" BORDOY (nu 10-1, 3 Kos) öppnade NESN-sändningen med en mästerlig visning av boxning, vann alla åtta omgångarna på var och en av de tre domarnas resultatkort för ett enhälligt beslut om åtta omgångar mot sen ersättningDIEUMERCI ”ELEPHANT MAN” NZAU (nu 11-11, 8 Kos). 

Bordoy slog Nzau effektivt och konsekvent till stansen, rörde sig väl inuti repen, och satte sig aldrig i svårt. ”Det kändes bra,”Sade Bordoy efter kampen. ”Spelplanen var att utboka honom, använda mitt jobb, och ta inga onödiga chanser. Jag följde spelplanen och kom ut med en enkel seger.

”Jag visste att han hade lite makt och han fångade mig med en bra stans tidigt. Jag såg lite band av honom och lyssnade på mina tränare. Jag vill komma tillbaka i ringen så snart som möjligt. ”

I en strid om välviktiga sydtoppar, hemstad favoritDERRICK "BAD BOY" WHITLEY II (6-1-1) drabbades av ett snitt över höger öga av en oavsiktlig headbutt avJERMAINE CORLEY (3-8, 1 KO) under andra omgången. Läkaren vid ringsidan stoppade handlingen efter två omgångar och kampen, av regel, var ett "inget beslut."

I öppnings skjutningen av kvällen, Hartford vältervikt utsikterJEFFREY TORRES(nu 6-0, 4 Kos) höll sitt obesegrad rekord intakt, som avslutade ett 6-rundars enhälligt beslut över Brockton, MA färdmanANTONIO CHAVES FERNANDEZ(nu 9-40-4, 3 Kos).   Torres utlådda Fernandez, som surrades flera gånger, från början till slut.

Brasilianska lätt tungviktLEANDRO “BUSCAPE” SILVA (2-3, 1 KO) förstörde hemkomst för lokal kämpeANGEL ‘THE BLACK RICAN’ VAZQUEZ (0-2) I walk-out-anfallet, Silva fångade Vazquez i repen i fjärde omgången. Vazquez fick en stående åtta räkning, men domaren stoppade handlingen, och tilldelade Silva en vinst med teknisk knockout.
