HOUSTON, TEXAS – Febrúar 4, 2020 – Fyrrum heimsmeistari Guillermo Rigondeaux will seek to become a three-time, two-division world champion when he moves down to bantamweight to challenge former champion Liborio Solis for the vacant WBA title live on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Febrúar 8 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from PPL Center in Allentown, Pa.



“I’m trying to make history by winning a third world title in a second weight class, while also matching my two [Olympic] Gold Medals,” said Rigondeaux, who will fight at bantamweight for the first time in his career. “I want to make a statement and solidify my legacy as one of the best Cuban fighters ever. I want the boxing world to be talking about me, as I seek to become a world champion once again. Febrúar 8 will be a special day for me and my family.



“I know at super bantamweight I am a force to be reckoned with. Now that I’m moving down to bantamweight, I feel stronger and I’m getting the most out of my skills. The bantamweight and super bantamweight divisions are filled with great fighters to test myself against. It’s a very exciting time and I am training very hard for each opportunity that is granted to me.”



This will be Rigondeaux’s second straight fight working with the renowned head trainer Ronnie Shields, and conducting training camp at Shields’ gym in Houston.



“Ronnie and I are working very hard and smart,” said Rigondeaux. “We have put together a great game plan that we are going to execute on fight night. All of my tools are getting sharpened up and everyone will see that the hard work we’ve put in will pay off. Ronnie is a great coach and I’ll be fighting with something to prove on fight night.”



“He is very focused, and one of the hardest workers in the gym,“ sagði Shields. “Rigondeaux is so determined to become a world champion once again. He comes to camp every single day with that goal, and I don’t see any way he doesn’t achieve it.”



Rigondeaux is coming off an exciting knockout win over former world champion Julio Ceja last June. The Guantanamo, Cuba native will look to capture his next world title when he faces Solis, a former super flyweight world champion for the vacant WBA belt.



“Solis is a good opponent and a worthy challenger, but I am ready to reclaim my status as a world champion,” said Rigondeaux. “I’m going to show people why I am one of the best boxers of my generation.



“This is a very big deal for me. For years I was one of the best fighters in the world, ef ekki, the best fighter in the world. When you’re a champion, you only fight the top opponents and those are the type of fights I want. I’m going to start another long reign as champion beginning February 8.”

Shearns Boxing Promotions to promote 1st pro boxing show ever in Framingham, Mass.

Charity event for Fighting Life March 20th at Sheraton Hotel

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. (Febrúar 3, 2020) – Shearns Boxing Promotions (SBP) has announced it will bring professional boxing for the first time ever to Framingham, Massachusetts withFight Night In Framingham,” Föstudagskvöld, Mars 20, at Sheraton Framingham Hotel.

Proceeds will benefit Fighting Life, an after-school youth boxing and academic empowerment program, available 100-percent free of charge, to students beginning in elementary school through high school education. With the continuous growth in technology and available access to various social media platforms today, börn (especially those ages 11 að 18 ár) are easily exposed to and influenced by various social pressures, such as but not limited to, hatred, drug availability, and everyday violence. Located out of UpperKuts Boxing Club in Ashland, Massachusetts, the Fighting Life Boxing Program was founded by owner and head coach, A.J. Thomas, as a resource and program to provide children with a positive outlet and outlook in life. Visit www.fightinglife.org to learn more about this organization.

We are extremely happy to bring professional boxing to Framingham for the first time,” SBP president Chuck Shearns sagði, “in addition to teaming with such a great cause in Fighting Life. “We believe that there are plenty of boxing fans in the community who will enjoy a quality show. The early support for this event has been amazing and local businesses have been extremely charitable.

On a personal note, SBP and Framingham have a very important history together. It is where I first met my wife, Karen, and lived when starting our family. I also boxed in Framingham when I was younger.

The City of Framingham, located 20 miles southwest of Boston, dates back to the American Revolution and, kannski, may be better known as being part of the famed Boston Marathon course. Framingham may never have had a pro boxing show held there, but it doesn’t necessarily mean boxing isn’t popular in the city of nearly 69,000 residents.

We’ve had amateur boxing shows in Framingham, but this will be the first professional event,” Thomas explained. “Kids here are into boxing even though they may not be as knowledgeable about boxing as elsewhere. If more kids understand what boxing can do to better their lives, boxing would have and will get bigger with more exposure to the sport, and that’s why it’s so important to support this show.

Framingham’s most notable boxer is 2008 USA Olympic Team alternate, Danny O'Connor, hver hefur 30-3 (11 Kos) sem atvinnumaður. Many Framingham-area boxers now have an opportunity to establish their own names in that market, starting with the March 20th sýna, including unbeaten super featherweight Timmy Ramos (5-0-2, 5 Kos).

SHREVEPORT, La. – January 31, 2020 - After his fourth consecutive victory in a little more than 12 months onShoBox: The New Generation, Ruben Villa is ready to graduate from the 19-year prospect series.


 
The undefeated featherweight Villa put on a boxing clinic in a dominating unanimous decision win over Alexei Collado. The judges scored the fight 99-91 and 98-92 twice in the main event Friday night from George’s Pond at Hirsch Coliseum in Shreveport, The.


 
The 22-year-old Salinas, Calif., native Villa (18-0, 5 Kos), who entered the ring paying tribute to the late Kobe Bryant by wearing his No. 8 Lakers jersey into the ring, called his performance “solid” against a “tough and aggressive fighter.”


 
“He was challenging throughout the fight,“ sagði Villa. “I feel like I put on a good show. He was a big knockout puncher and he’s no pushover. He brought out the best in me.”


 
Villa, who was the was also the 2014 og 2016 Landsmeistari í gullhanska, is currently ranked No. 5 á 126 pounds by the WBO and No. 13 af WBC. He said after the fight he’s ready for the best his division has to offer.


 
The 31-year-old Cuban Collado (26-3, 23 Kos) who lives in Miami, lost for the first time in seven bouts. “It was a good fight,” said Collado, sem vann 2006 Junior World Title in the flyweight division. “We both brought everything. We put on a good show for the fans. He moves a lot and he’s a smart fighter. I feel like when I threw a lot I hit him but I wasn’t active enough.”


 
Villa said he stayed disciplined training during the holidays. “Now I’m going to take a few weeks off and then get right back in the gym,"Sagði hann.


 
Í sam-lögun lota, undefeated Ukrainian and 2012 Olympic Bronze medalist Taras Shelestyuk (18-0, 10 Kos) recorded a dominating unanimous decision victory against Argentina’s Luis Alberto Veron (18-2-2, 9 Kos). The judges scored the 10-round welterweight fight 97-93 og 98-92 tvisvar.


 
Shelestyuk, who overcame a bad fifth-round cut on his forehead, had boxed just 10 rounds in the last three years.


 
“It was a good fight,” Shelestyuk said. “I hit him with some good shots, and controlled the fight. I have been out since March, and I feel that I performed well. I am happy to be back on television.


 
“The cut didn’t bother me. This is professional boxing, and these things happen. I want to be back in May or June. If I come back in the next several months, I want to fight a big name – guys like Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia.”


 
Í opnara sjónvarpsins, late replacement Sulaiman Segawa (12-2-1, 3 Kos) looked impressive in hisShoBox debut seemingly out-boxing Zhora Hamazaryan (9-1-2, 6 Kos) and recording the better stat sheet, but the close lightweight fight was called a split-decision draw. One judge had Segawa winning 78-74, another 77-75 for Hamazaryan and the third judge called it even, 76-76.


 
ShoBox analyst Steve Farhood had the fight scored 77-75 Segawa, while Barry Tompkins and Raul Marquez both saw it 78-74 in favor of Segawa.


 
“I won the fight,” said Segawa, who took the fight on just four days’ notice. “I maintained him and his aggressiveness. I came up to his weight and dictated the action. I staggered him a couple of times and he was not touching me.”


 
Segawa earned the better stats in nearly every category. Hamazaryan was more active (57.5 punches per round to Segawa’s 53.6) but Segawa outlanded him 130-100 heild, 42-14 jabs and 88-86 power and was more accurate in all phases (30%-22% heild, 28%-8% Jabs, 31.3%-31.1% máttur). Segawa even led 25-22 in body connects


 
Segawa, 28, moved to Silver Spring, Md., two years ago and is originally from Kampala, Uganda. He has won six times against previously undefeated opponents with his two losses also to undefeated fighters.


 
Hamazaryan, who was making his thirdShoBox útlit, returned to the ring after 16 months as he returned to his native Armenia to get his physical education degree.

 

“It was a good fight,” the 23-year-old Hamazaryan said. “I started slow because of the switch in opposition and felt rusty. I’m going to go right back to the gym and keep on learning. And I will be better.”


 
It was the second consecutive split draw for Hamazaryan, who also recorded a split draw against Thomas Mattice in his lastShoBox appearance in September of 2018.


 
Friday’s fights were promoted by Banner Promotions, Thompson Boxing and Bishop Promotions LLC. The full telecast will replay on Monday, Febrúar 3 á 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ANYTIME® and SHOWTIME on DEMAND®.

TOPPENISH, Þvoið. (Janúar 31, 2020) – Hot Filipino prospectJade “Hurricane” Bornea struck America last night and he delivered, winning a 10-round split decision over previously unbeatenErnesto Delgadillo, to capture the vacant North American Boxing Federation (NABF) super flyweight title.

„Þegar við byrjum á öðru ári, Ég er þess fullviss að við munum halda áfram að fara fram úr væntingum og koma með uppákomur í efsta flokki í íþrótta- og afþreyingarheiminn,“ segir Leonard Ellerbe, Forstjóri Mayweather Promotions. „Fyrsta viðkomustaður ársins er á heimavellinum fyrir klúbbasýningar og stokkað föstudagskvöld ShoBox kort. Þessir horfur eru að leitast við að sýna glæsilega frammistöðu til að hefja árið sitt.

Hawkins, (18-0, 11 Kos) þekktur sem „Ice Man“ í hringnum, berst frá Baltimore, Md., og er að koma aftan að tveimur sigrum með rothöggi. Síðasta leik hans kom í kjölfar stöðvunar í fimmtu umferð gegn Darwin Price á SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING NIÐURTALI á Davis vs.. Gamboa undirkort í desember 28. Hinn 24 ára gamli Hawkins er þjálfaður af þjálfaratríói Upton Gym, Calvin Ford, sem er mjög vinsælt., Kenny Price, og Russ Blakey. Hawkins gerðist atvinnumaður 2014 með útsláttarsigri, sem boðaði það sem koma skyldi frá unga baráttumanninum. Sem áhugamaður, Hawkins safnaði glæsilegu 160-15 met á meðan keppt er í 2012 og 2013 Landsmót og vann til bronsverðlauna í 2012 Jr. Olympics. Þekktastur fyrir grófan og kraftmikinn bardagastíl, Hawkins gekk seint til liðs við Mayweather Promotions liðið 2019 með útsláttarákvörðun sigur á Al Rivera kl Cannery spilavíti & Hótel.



„Mér finnst frábært að gefa fyrstu fyrirsögnina mína ShoBox atburður,“ segir Hawkins. „Þetta er eitthvað sem mig langaði að gera síðan ég var krakki. Sigur í þessum bardaga og útsetningarbaráttan á vettvangi eins og SHOWTIME veitir aðeins meiri viðurkenningu á hæfileikum mínum og færni og stærri og betri tækifæri. Ég hef meira en sjálfan mig að berjast fyrir. Ég á krakkana sem líta upp til mín í Upton Gym. Ég berst fyrir þá, þeir eru raunveruleg hvatning mín.



„Ég get ekki sagt mikið um andstæðing minn. Ég veit að hann er líka ósigraður. Hann er varanlegur andstæðingur og hann kemur til að berjast, en ef þú horfðir á síðasta bardaga minn þá veistu að ég kem inn til að taka andstæðinga mína 0."



Tuttugu og sjö ára gamli Keith Hunter (11-0, 7Rothögg) kemur úr bardagagrunni. Hann er yngri bróðir þungavigtarkappans Michaels Hunter, og faðir hans var virtur hnefaleikamaður sem spjallaði við Mike Tyson í mörg ár áður en hann lést.. Hunter átti ekki langan áhugamannaferil, kjósa að gerast atvinnumaður eftir bara 28 berst



„Mér finnst sjálfstraust að koma inn í þessa baráttu,“ sagði Hunter. „Síðustu tveir bardagar mínir, Ég sigraði Mayweather bardagamenn og ég er öruggur með innsæið sem ég hef. Við erum bæði 6 fet á hæð, en hann vantar hluti sem bardagamann. Hann á í erfiðleikum með að berjast fyrir utan. Hann er þægilegri að innan. Mér finnst ég vera betri hæfari bardagamaðurinn sem fer í bardagann.



„Hvenær sem ég fæ að berjast á stóru sviði eins og SHOWTIME, Ég fjárfesti hluta af hjarta mínu og sál, svo vonandi munu aðdáendur mínir og allir sem horfa á bardagann minn sjá ósvikinn krakka berjast fyrir arfleifð en ekki peningum. Þetta tækifæri mun hjálpa mér að tengjast fleira fólki og ég er ævinlega þakklátur fyrir það.“



Hitchins (9-0, 5 Kos), frá Brooklyn, er fyrrum tvöfaldur gullhanskameistari sem var fulltrúi heimalands foreldra sinna, Haítí 2016 Ólympíuleikarnir í Rio de Janeiro. Einn helsti ungi möguleikinn í hnefaleikum, Hitchins hefur spjallað og æft með nokkrum heimsmeisturum þar á meðal Terence Crawford og hesthúsfélaga Gervontu Davis.. Bara 21 árs, Hitchins státar af ótrúlegum hand- og fóthraða og greindarvísitölu gamals keppanda í hnefaleikum. Eftir að hafa barist átta af honum 10 atvinnubardaga í heimabæ sínum, Hitchins mun ferðast til Las Vegas í annað sinn í leit að yfirlýsingavinningi í framhaldinu ShoBoxútlit.



“Ég er hungraðri en nokkru sinni fyrr,“ sagði Hitchins. „Ég sé bróður minn Tank sigra og dafna og ég finn sömu orkuna í kringum mig þegar ég er að æfa tímunum saman í ræktinni og fullkomna iðn mína. Ég er gerður til að vera frábær og ég er með rétta fólkið í kringum mig sem heldur einbeitingu minni, halda mér í þjálfun á hæsta stigi, og ýta mér út fyrir þægindarammann minn til að vera sigursæll. Það er það sem mun sýna sig á bardagakvöldinu þegar ég er inni í hringnum."



„Nice“ Nick DeLomba (16-2, 5Rothögg), berjast út úr Cranston, RI, er að koma eftir fimm bardaga sigurgöngu með þremur af fimm sigrum með rothöggi. Hann er þekktastur fyrir sléttleika sinn og snjallara í hringnum og lítur út fyrir að gefa kraftmikla yfirlýsingu á erlendu yfirráðasvæði þegar hann gerir Las Vegas og ShoBox frumraun í næsta mánuði.



„Þetta er frábært tækifæri til að berjast á SHOWTIME,“ sagði DeLomba. „Ég hef barist fram að þessu og núna snýst þetta um að sýna heiminum hver ég er og efla vörumerkið mitt. Það er það sem ég ætla að gera á bardagakvöldinu. Ég tek hverja bardaga og lexíu með mér í ræktina og æfi meira en fyrri daginn og þrýsti sjálfum mér á að vera í raun besti bardagamaðurinn. Ég veit að ég er að koma inn sem underdog, en það mun bara fá mig til að vilja sigurinn meira og vera sá gaur sem gefur Hitchins sinn fyrsta ósigur.".



Kevin Newman eigin Las Vegas (11-1, 6Rothögg) byrjaði í hnefaleikum þegar hann var níu ára og byggði upp áhugamannamet um 25-5 áður en atvinnumaður er gefinn inn 2014. Heillaður af færni og tækni Newman í hringnum sem áhugamaður, Floyd Mayweather keypti risandi ofurmillivigt í bardagamannaheilsu sína sumarið 2014. Newman lék frumraun sína sem atvinnumaður á Mayweather vs. Maidana II undirspil, þar sem hann barðist til jafnteflis gegn Azamat Umarzoda. Newman snýr aftur til ShoBox eftir að hafa hefndi fyrir eina tapið á ferlinum gegn Mark Anthony Hernandez. Newman sigraði Hernandez í nóvember 1 á Sam's Town Live, leysa sjálfan sig frá fyrstu viðureign þeirra í 2017 á Mayweather vs. McGregor undirspil. Newman er enn auðmjúkur og svangur þegar hann fer upp í raðir ofur millivigtar.



„Það er alltaf gott að ná þyngdinni af öxlunum,“ sagði Newman um nýlegan sigur á Hernandez. „Ég vinn hörðum höndum daginn út og daginn inn til að vera besti ég og ég fylgi áætlun Guðs. Ég skil að það er meira fyrir mig á ferð minni núna og ég er framhjá því og ég horfi til framtíðar í febrúar 28.



„Ég hef séð Kalvin berjast. Það er ekkert sérstakt sem stendur upp úr við hann. Ég hef verið í riðlinum með strákum í efstu deild sem áhugamaður og atvinnumaður og hef barist við erfiðari andstæðinga. Ég er alltaf betri andstæðingurinn.



„Að berjast á SHOWTIME gerir mikið fyrir mig. Þetta snýst ekki um sigurinn, það snýst um hvernig ég vinn. Ég ætla að setja upp aðra ríkjandi frammistöðu, eitthvað sem mun aðgreina mig frá hinum, og ég ætla að nýta öll tækifæri sem halda áfram að gefast.



Upprunalega frá Fayetteville, Örk., en berjast út úr Fort Worth, Tx., Henderson (12-0-1, 8 Rothögg) hefur ekki dæmigerðan bakgrunn fyrir atvinnubardagamann. Hann er háskólanemi í Arkansas sem stundaði tónlistarferil þegar hann fékk námsstyrk sem slagverksleikari. Hann missti aldrei sjónar á hnefaleikum síðan hann var fyrst kynntur kl 15 ára og fljótlega eftir útskrift í 2012, hann færði einbeitinguna aftur að hnefaleikum. Henderson hefur fljótt fest sig í sessi sem einn af ofur millivigtarmönnum sem rísa hraðar í deildinni og fagnar áskoruninni um að halda áfram leit sinni að því að verða heimsklassa boxari.



„Að berjast í bakgarði annarra er ekki mikið mál,“ segir Henderson. „Það er engin pressa á mig að gera neitt. Ég sé um viðskiptin og fer heim. Ég mun segja að það kemur með annan hvetjandi þátt. Það neyðir mig til að æfa meira og það hefur áhrif á leikáætlunina mína því við getum ekki farið of nálægt umferðunum.



„Ég er spenntur að komast í hringinn og framkvæma leikáætlun mína fyrir framan breitt áhorfendur. Ég vil sýna heiminum það sem ég og liðið mitt vitum nú þegar. Ég geri það heitt í hringnum. Þess vegna hringja þeir í mig, „Heit sósa“."

The PPV begins at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and includes the PPV featured bout as WBO Junior Featherweight World Champion Emanuel “VaqueroNavarrete, a.k.a “The Mexican Iron Mandefends his title against Filipino contender Jeo Santisima. In the PPV opener, super welterweight sensation Sebastian “The Towering InfernoFundora munu standa frammi 2016 Australian Olympian Daniel Lewis in a 10-round battle of unbeatens.

Tickets for the event are on sale now and can be purchased at www.mgmgrand.com eða www.axs.com. The event is promoted by BombZquad Promotions, TGB Kynningar, Top Rank and Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions. A Premier Boxing Champions presentation.

The 33-year-old Martin (27-2-1, 24 Kos) became heavyweight champion in January 2016 when he won by TKO against then unbeaten Vyacheslav Glazkov. After losing his title to Anthony Joshua, Martin has won four of his last five fights, with all of his wins coming inside the distance. Originally from St. Louis, now living in Las Vegas and currently training in Southern California with Manny Robles, Martin bounced back from a narrow decision defeat to Adam Kownacki in 2018 to earn victories in 2019 against Gregory Corbin in March and Daniel Martz in July.

It is great to be back on the big stage,” sagði Martin. “Wilder vs. Fury II is the biggest heavyweight fight in a long time and it’s great to be on the PPV. Febrúar 22 will get me one step closer to my goal of becoming two-time heavyweight champion. Gerald Washington is standing in my way, so it’s my job to go right through him toward my ultimate goal.

Washington (20-3-1, 13 Kos) is a six-foot-six heavyweight contender who was a former college football standout at the University of Southern California and a U.S. Navy veteran. Born in San Jose, California, Washington scored an impressive victory in his last outing, knocking out veteran contender Robert Helenius in July. Washington was unbeaten in his first 19 atvinnumaður berst, before dropping his world title challenge against Deontay Wilder in February 2017.

This title eliminator is a very big opportunity for me and I’m going to do everything in my power to win on February 22,” sagði Washington. “I have the right team behind me and the right mindset. I’ve known Martin my whole career and we even spent some time working together in the ring. I’m going to be at my best and I expect the same from him. It’s an honor to be a part of an event like this. Deontay and Tyson are both characters and I’m glad I can be a part of what’s going to be a great night of boxing on February 22.

Representing San Juan Zitlaltepec, Distrito Federal, México, Navarrete (30-1, 26 Kos) captured his 122-pound title by defeating Isaac Dogboe in December 2018, and emphatically retained the title by stopping Dogboe in the final round of their rematch in May 2019. The 25-year-old stayed busy after securing the title, scoring stoppage victories in successful title defenses in August, September and most recently in December, when he knocked out Francisco Horta in Mexico. He is boxing’s most active world champion, as the Santisima bout will be his fifth title defense in nine months.

I am motivated to make my fifth defense in less than a year and especially because I’m proud to be part of a historic card headlined by Wilder vs. Fury II,” said Navarrete. “This is a great opportunity to put on an exhibition for the fans and showcase my talent once again. I’m very grateful to my promoters, Bob Arum and Fernando Beltran, for giving me these opportunities.

The 23-year-old Santisima (19-2, 16 Kos) gerðist atvinnumaður í 2013 as a 16-year-old and has not lost a fight since his fourth career contest in 2014. A native of Masbate City, Filippseyjar, Santisima will ride a 17-fight winning streak into his U.S. debut and his first world title opportunity on February 22. His 2019 campaign saw him deliver victories over Alvius Maufani in August and Rene Dacquel in December.

I really appreciate this opportunity, as this has been my dream since I was a kid,” said Santisima. “Fyrir þessari baráttu, I will train and prepare to become the new champion. I don’t feel any pressure. I will just do my best on fight night to show the world who I am. I heard and read the news that this fight is a mismatch, but I will do my best to give a great fight.

Towering at nearly six-feet six-inches, Fundora (13-0-1, 9 Kos) has used his height and length, combined with power and aggressiveness, to rack up an unbeaten record since turning pro in 2016. Fighting out of Coachella, California, Fundora fought three times in 2019, including TKO victories over then unbeaten fighters Donnie Marshall and Hector Manuel Zepeda. The 22-year-old most recently fought to an exciting split-draw against fellow contender Jamontay Clark in August.

A 2016 Olympian representing his native Sydney, Ástralía, Lewis (6-0, 4 Kos) was unbeaten in 2019, his first year as a professional. The 26-year-old picked up his first five wins between his debut in March and his U.S. debut in November where he defeated Alexis Gaytan. Nú nýlega, Lewis knocked out then unbeaten Rivo Kundimang in December.

LOS ANGELES (Janúar 28, 2020) – Unbeaten WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder and undefeated lineal heavyweight champion Tyson “The Gypsy KingFury continued their war of words at a special attraction press event on Saturday at FOX Studios in Los Angeles, as they near their highly anticipated showdown taking place Saturday, Febrúar 22 in a historic, joint FOX Sports PPV & ESPN+ PPV from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Tickets for the event are on sale now and can be purchased at www.mgmgrand.com eða www.axs.com. The event is promoted by BombZquad Promotions, TGB Kynningar, Top Rank and Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions. A Premier Boxing Champions presentation.

The two gargantuan heavyweights traded words and shared updates on training camp leading up to one of the most heavily awaited fights in recent memory. A large media contingent was on hand to watch the undefeated titans square off once again, less than one month before they will finally meet in the ring to settle the score, 14 months after their unforgettable first clash.

Here is what the fighters had to say Saturday in Los Angeles:

DEONTAY WILDER

Things are going amazing. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. To come from where I come from, it’s amazing to be here. When you get a happy Deontay Wilder in training camp, you can definitely expect great things from me. Það er’ what I’m going to give you.

We haven’t seen his power displayed like he’s been talking about. It hasn’t been continuous, like mine. I think he has pillows as fists. That’s what I felt in our last fight.

With the strategies that he’s talking about, I don’t really know how to take it. I don’t know if he’s trying to throw me off my game by saying he’s going to knock me out. But it’s exciting to hear and I’m looking forward to February 22.

Everything on his body is a target, not just his cut. Everything that is permissible for me to hit, I’m going to hit it.

When you fight someone like me, it’s a mistake to tinker around with your training camp. I’m unpredictable in that ring. When you have too many opinions and too many people who think they have the remedy, it usually backfires.

I think this win will be more special than the others. Because of the history that we have, with that controversial draw. I consider Tyson a brother of this era, especially in the heavyweight division. The other fighters don’t want to let themselves loose and have fun. We’re both able to enjoy what we do day after day. Because when the bell rings, allt getur gerst.

Fighting a guy like Fury, you have to be careful. Time goes by so fast in the ring. You’re trying to do everything that you prepared for. With what he brings to the table with his boxing skills, you have to have some awareness of the clock. But with my power, it’s his job to really watch the clock and try to avoid me for 36 mínútur.

We both have to come in like we did the first fight, with our hearts on our sleeves and the warrior mentality that we always bring. When you get to this point, the scenery itself makes for a great fight. We all know when I come to fight, I don’t play around. We can play around here today, but we’re going to have that killer mentality in the ring.

TYSON FURY

I’m born ready. I’m feeling good in training camp. Everything has been going really well. There’s no injuries or excuses. It’s all dedication and sacrifice, one day after another.

The first fight I wanted to go in there and out box him. It didn’t work. No matter what people say, I didn’t win. I count a draw as a loss.

We’re giant heavyweights. I’ve had 20 knockouts, so I’m very capable of knocking people out. When you underestimate someone else’s power, you usually end up unstuck. Whether I’m a great puncher or not, I don’t believe anybody else can match me with heart and determination. I’m going to put my iron will on Deontay Wilder.

I felt that I needed to get an edge in this fight. It’s not personal with me and my trainers, cutmen and nutritionists. It’s business. If I think someone else is going to improve my business, I’ll do it.

How do you beat a massive puncher? You have to back him up. He gets massive leverage in those long arms while coming forward. I have to put him on the back foot and make him absorb some of my power.

I’m the Gypsy King. There’s only been one and there’s only likely to be one going forward. That’s one belt that Deontay Wilder can’t ever win.

He had a great performance against Ortiz. He did what he was supposed to do. He knocks guys out. He was relaxed and calm under the pressure. I was impressed. Not by the knockout, but by the way he was conducting himself under pressure.

I’m always real. Deontay Wilder has knocked out 43 opponents in a row. Even if I hate this guy, I respect that. He has amazing power and his name is up there with all-time greats. He’s a great puncher who gets the job done.

Four-Fight Card Also Features Undefeated Prospects Raeese Aleem, Montana Love And Derrick Colemon Jr. In Toughest Tests Of Their Careers



NEW YORK - Janúar 22, 2020 – Rising lightweight prospect Thomas Mattice will face hard-hitting Isaac Cruz Gonzalez in the 10-round main event of ShoBox: The New Generation á föstudaginn, Febrúar 14 live on SHOWTIME from 2300 Arena í Philadelphia.



The four-fight telecast is the third of four ShoBox presentations over six weeks showcasing some of boxing’s brightest young prospects in their toughest tests to date, including super lightweight prospect Shohjahon Ergashev and super middleweight Vladimir Shishkin, who were victorious on January 17. janúar 31, featherweight Ruben Villa and welterweight Taras Shelestyuk will be tested and on February 28, super lightweight Malik Hawkins and welterweight Richardson Hitchins face tough opposition.



In the co-featured bout on February 14, undefeated super bantamweight Raeese Aleem (15-0, 9 Kos), Las Vegas, mun taka áShoBox veteran and San Antonio native Adam Lopez (19-3-2, 9 Kos) in an eight-round 122-pound bout. In a matchup of undefeated junior welterweights, Cleveland’s Montana Love (12-0-1, 6 Kos) aftur til ShoBox in an eight-round showdown with New Orleans’ Jerrico Walton (16-0, 7 Kos). Í opnun lota á útsending, undefeated junior middleweights Derrick Colemon Jr. (11-0, 8 Kos), af Detroit, and Joseph Jackson (15-0, 12 Kos), Norður-Karólína, will square off in an eight-round 154-pound bout.



Miðar á atburði, which is promoted by GH3 Promotions and King’s Promotions are $100, $75 og $50 og að kaupa áwww.2300arena.com



Cleveland’s Mattice (15-1-1, 11 Kos) is coming off his most significant win to date, an eight-round TKO of previously undefeated Michael Dutchover last September on ShoBox. The fight was stopped due to a deep gash on Dutchover caused by a clean right hand from Mattice. The judges’ scorecards were split at the time of the stoppage. Mattice will be making his sixth start on the prospect developmental series, including a close loss to Will Madera in 2019, a split decision win and a split draw with Zhora Hamazaryan in 2018, and a knockout of Rolando Chinea. The 29-year-old hopes a convincing win over the top-10 ranked Gonzalez will move him closer to a world title shot.



“A win would be huge for my career and put me in a great position,” Mattice said. “It would put me in the conversation with the top dogs of the division. I have to put on a great performance and let all those top fighters know that I’m here and ready to fight anyone. It’s a must-win for me, but it’s a big fight for both of us. He is ranked No. 7 by the IBF so this has the feel of a big fight. I think a win would put me in the top-10.”



Gonzalez (18-1-1, 14 Kos), af Mexíkóborg, has scored knockouts in 11 af síðasta sinn 14 fights since suffering only loss of his career in just his sixth professional fight. The 22-year-old owns a career-best knockout of former interim world title challenger Jose Felix Jr. í 2018. Currently ranked No. 7 með IBF á 135 £, Gonzalez made his U.S. debut in December on the non-televised undercard of the Jermall Charlo vs. Dennis Hogan event at Barclays Center in Brooklyn last December.



“I am excited to be fighting in the United States and I am thrilled for my fight to be shown on SHOWTIME,” said Gonzalea. “So many fighters started their career on ShoBox and have become World Champions.”



Aleem compiled a 65-10 record as an amateur and was a five-time Golden Gloves State Champion in Michigan. He finished third at the National Golden Gloves in 2010 og 2011 áður en þú kveikir sérfræðingur í 2011. The 29-year-old recently relocated his training camp to Las Vegas, where he has sparred with Jessie Magdaleno, Nonito Donaire and Jhack Tepora. Aleem, who is trained by Terry Markowski, will face the toughest test of his career in the veteran Lopez.



“All my hard work is paying off and now I get to show it on the big stage,” Aleem said. “I am looking forward to earning new fans and staying on a roll. I know Lopez is a really tough fighter with something to prove. He’s been here before so I know he’s ready for the challenge. This is a steppingstone to ultimately get where I want to be, and that’s fighting for a world title, bigger paydays and more exposure. Á endanum, I don’t just want to win, I want to dominate. Winning isn’t good enough – I also have to look good while doing it.”



Lopez was an accomplished amateur who won six national titles and held a No. 1 röðun, but he has had an up and down career as a pro. The 29-year-old started his career with 15 straight victories yet he has suffered a few setbacks as his level of opposition has dramatically increased. Lopez was undefeated and one win away from challenging for a world championship before losing to current unified 122-pound champion Daniel Roman in a title eliminator in 2017 á Showtime. Lopez, who will break his own record ofShoBox appearances when he steps into the ring for the eighth time, will face his sixth undefeated opponent on the series as he looks to get his career back on track.



“Aleem is a pretty good fighter, but I think my experience is going to be a factor,” Lopez said. “He hasn’t fought top-tier guys with the exception of Marcus Bates. I have been in the big fights and this is his first time doing this. I am on a three-fight winning streak and I have rededicated myself to the sport. I have a new trainer, Chato Martinez, and a whole new camp. I can’t wait to show that I am back.”



The flashy Love was an accomplished amateur who compiled a 174-13 met. The 25-year-old southpaw will return for his third test on ShoBox as he seeks a convincing victory. In his first bout on the series, he won a majority decision over Samuel Teah in 2018 and followed that up with a split draw a few months later against Kenneth Sims Jr. Elska, who has sparred with Adrien Broner and Robert Easter Jr., will face what should be his most dangerous opponent in the fellow-undefeated Walton.



“Walton is a decent fighter, but I feel he is still green and he doesn’t have that much experience,” Love said. “I know he is tough, but I am taking this to the next level. He’s just a stepping stone. It’s exciting to fight under the bright lights. Some guys fold, but I was made for this. I am not looking past him, but this will take my career to the next level. We are both undefeated and not many guys take risks like this, but this shows I am a true fighter. My name is MontanaToo Pretty Loveand I am fighting on Valentine’s Day, so I will be giving a lot of love out on February 14.”



The 29-year-old Walton was born and raised in New Orleans, where he rescued his mother and sister from the flood waters of Hurricane Katrina when he was just 13 ára. Left homeless, the family relocated to Houston, where Walton competed as an amateur. Walton turned professional in 2014 and has been perfect through his first 16 berst, including a career-best win over former super bantamweight world champion Victor Terrazas in 2019. The boxer-puncher, who is trained by Bobby Benton and fought six times last year, will face the first undefeated opponent of his career in Love.



“I have seen Montana fight before. I know he is flashy in the Adrien Broner mode, but other than that I do not know too much about him,” Walton said. “This opportunity is a blessing. The world is going to get to see me and hear my story. I’m from New Orleans and it was a struggle for me growing up, so this is a great opportunity. I never in a million years thought that I would be in this position. I just need to seize the moment and get the victory.”



Bara 20 ára, Colemon started boxing at the age of 4 and honed his craft at the original Kronk Gym under Emanuel Steward until his passing in 2012. Colemon had a 135-fight amateur career and was a four-time national amateur champion in the junior division. He turned professional when he was 18 years old and has eight knockouts in his first 11 faglega berst. Colemon, who is trained by Marlon Thomas, will face by far the toughest test of his career in Jackson, a fellow undefeated yet untested prospect.



“I am physically and mentally prepared more than I ever have been,” Colemon said. “I know Jackson is undefeated and tough, so I know I’m in for a big test. This is the next step in my career, and I feel that I will be not only the next great champion that has fought onShoBox, but the next great fighter out of Detroit. I am ready to show the world my talents. Febrúar 14 will put my name in the minds of boxing fans all over the world.”



The 31-year-old Jackson got a late start as a professional yet has been active, including three fights in 2019 and three in 2018. Hann hefur 12 KOs in 15 berst, including knockouts in seven of his last eight bouts. The Greensboro native will fight outside of North Carolina for the first time in his career when he takes on the undefeated Colemon.



“I know Colemon is tough, and he had a long amateur career,” Jackson said. “He will come to fight, but I prepare for anything. That is what this sport is all about. I am looking forward to showcasing my talent to the world.”

PHILADELPHIA (Janúar 19, 2020) – Jeison Rosario captured the WBA and IBF Super Welterweight World titles with a shocking fifth round stoppage of hometown favorite Julian “J-Rock” Williams Saturday night in the FOX PBC Fight Night main event and on FOX Deportes from Temple University’s Liacouras Center in Philadelphia.

As soon as I stepped into the ring, I knew he could not hurt me,” said Rosario. “I knew that my power was affecting him right away. This is a big victory for me and for the whole Dominican Republic.

Rosario was the better man tonight,” Said Williams. “It was a great homecoming for my fans and I’m sorry I let them down. What went wrong tonight needs to and will be fixed. We’re going to an immediate rematch and we look forward to returning the favor.

In his first world title fight, the Dominican Republic’s Rosario landed power punches from the outset and opened up a cut on with a punch over Williamsright eye in the second round. Williams was landing power punches of his own, but was unable to stop Rosario from coming forward.

Watch round two highlights where Rosario opens the cut over Williamseye hér.

I’m so emotional in this moment right now,” said Rosario. “When I lost my last fight I said I will never lose again until I become champion of the world and that’s what happened tonight. I came prepared. I knew before the fight that I was going to win it.

In round five Rosario landed the punches that would ultimately lead to the end of the fight, hitting him with hard straight right hands that immediately slowed Williams.


I have to give a lot of credit to my team,” said Rosario. “I had a 16-week training camp and that prepared me for this. My life is changed forever and I can support my family in a whole new way. I realized that I was going to win, once I was offered the fight. I knew that if I made the sacrifice, that I would do what I did tonight. I knew it 16 weeks ago.

Rosario sensed his moment and came forward with big punches, while Williams tried to hold and survive. Eventually the onslaught proved to be too much, and referee Benjy Esteves halted the bout 1:37 í umferð. Á þeim tíma sem stöðvun, Rosario led 39-37 on two cards, with the third card scored 38-38.

I wasn’t surprised he was so good,” Said Williams. “I told everybody he’s a real fighter. I have to accept it. The cut blurred my vision a little bit but it wasn’t the reason why I lost. He was the better fighter tonight. We’ve got a rematch clause. I’ll see him again soon. I’ll be back.

The co-main event saw rising star Chris “Prime Time” Colbert (14-0, 5 Kos) drop former champion Jezreel Corrales (23-4, 9 Kos) on his way to a unanimous decision victory that earned him the Interim WBA Super Featherweight Title.

“Hann er frábær bardagamaður,” said Colbert. “People don’t realize that, because he had a bad decision against Ladarius Miller. But he’s a great fighter. He’s very awkward. He’s slick and fast. It was hard to catch him because he was running, but he came to fight. I take my hat off to him.

The action began tactically, with Colbert trying to figure out the awkward style of the veteran former champion Corrales. Colbert switched from orthodox to southpaw and was able to control the early action despite a slow pace.

I did my job in there,” said Corrales. “My strategy was to hit and not get hit. I felt like I made him struggle for a lot of the fight. The knockdown wasn’t from being hurt, it was my balance. Our feet got tangled and I lost my balance. I came in here to win. We both did our jobs, but the judges scored his pushing more than his punching.

Colbert continued to vary up his attack as the fight went on, while Corrales was able to have some success in the middle rounds landing straight lefts to counter his attacking opponent. In round 10 Colbert began to pull away, landing a clean left hook followed by a right hook to the top of the head that put Corrales on a knee.

I had confidence coming into the fight,” said Colbert. “I knew I was going to dominate the fight and I told you all that before the fight happened. He was running and I was trying to catch him, so I told my corner, let’s have a dog fight. We got 12 umferðir. I’m in shape. Þú sérð, I didn’t sit down one round. I’m in shape and I came to fight. I wasn’t going to leave without this title.

The 23-year-old from Brooklyn seemed to get stronger as the fight went on and finished the championship rounds impressively, staggering Corrales in the waning moments of the fight to punctuate the performance. Colbert was the victor on all three judges’ kort, með skora 117-110 tvisvar og 116-111.

The strategy was to use my jab like I did and try to set up my punches,” said Colbert. “But he’s very awkward and has good distance. Slowly but surely I decided to stop boxing, close the distance and get on him. I knew he couldn’t out throw me, I’m from Brooklyn.

In the FOX PBC Fight Night opener, top super welterweight prospect Joey Spencer(10-0, 7 Kos)remained unbeaten with a unanimous decision over Erik Spring (13-4-2, 1 KO) after six rounds of action.

Fighting from the southpaw stance, Spring looked to land big overhand lefts but was rarely able to catch up to the speedy 19-year-old Spencer. Spencer dominated the action with his speed and by landing big hooks throughout the action.

I was in there with a cagey, long southpaw,” said Spencer. “Til að vera heiðarlegur, when a guy is fighting as cagey as he was, it’s really hard for a guy with my style to just pull something out of nothing. He was a real defensive guy.

Spencer was especially effective sneaking a powerful left hook around Spring’s guard. Spring tried to press the action in the later rounds and force a firefight but Spencer remained patient and picked his spots. Late in round six, a left hook from Spencer sent Spring flying into the ropes, before he was saved from the follow up onslaught by the bell.

At the end I really just pressed him, said I’m going to finish strong, and hit him with some good shots,” said Spencer. “If I had done that in the first or second round, I would have ended it early. I’m glad to get the six rounds in. Experience is everything. You’re only as good as your next fight. I’m happy to get in there and get some good experience and I did my thing and got the shutout.

I was waiting too much,” said Spring. “I thought he would come in and engage more and I was looking counter him but he stayed on the outside. I was more impressed by his speed then his power. He’s a talented fighter but I could have been more effective.

After six rounds, all three judges saw the fight for Spencer, by the score of 60-54 þrisvar sinnum. PBC’s 2019 Prospect ársins, Spencer will look for another big year in 2020.

I’m going to stay busy this year,” said Spencer. “I’m going to have a four-fight year. This is one of four. We’re looking to bring some excitement and have some fun.

Watch Joey Spencer seal his 10th career win with a powerful combo just before the final bell hér.

Prior to the main card, FOX PBC Fight Night Prelims on FS1 and FOX Deportes saw Mexico’s Jorge Cota (30-4, 27 Kos) earn a fifth-round stoppage over Thomas “Cornflake” Lamanna (28-3-1, 10 Kos) 1:22 into their super welterweight bout, when LaManna’s corner advised the ringside doctor to halt the action.
