BROOKLYN (Oktober 17, 2019) – Undefeated WBC Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo will defend his title against highly-ranked contender Dennis Hogan Lördag, December 7 leva på Showtime från Barclays Center, hemmet till BROOKLYN BOXING ™, i ett evenemang som presenteras av Premier Boxing Champions.

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® börjar vid 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and is headlined by unbeaten middleweight star Charlo making the second defense of his 160-pound title against Hogan, a tough former world title challenger who has campaigned from super welterweight through light heavyweight.

Biljetter till levande händelse, som marknadsförs av Lions Only Promotions och TGB Promotions, are on-sale now and can be purchased atticketmaster.com och barclayscenter.com. Tickets also can be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Grupprabatter finns genom att ringa 844-BKLYN-GP.

“Jermall Charlo is a can’t miss attraction and one of the brightest stars in boxing,” sa Tom Brown, VD för TGB Promotions. “He’ll look to make the second defense of his WBC Middleweight Championship in his fourth appearance at Barclays Center on December 7. He’ll have his hands full with the hard-charging Dennis Hogan, who many believe should be a 154-pound champion and should have earned the decision over junior middleweight champion Jaime Mungia. That performance has put him right back in a position to fight for a title and there’s no doubt that him and Jermall are going to leave it all in the ring and give fans a great fight live on SHOWTIME.”

“Jermall Charlo is one of those rare athletes who creates a spectacle every time he steps in the ring, och december 7 kommer inte att skilja,” said Stephen Espinoza, President, Sport & händelse Programming, Showtime Networks Inc. “Jermall is the complete package – fart, ström, athleticism and elite talent – so it is no surprise that he is one of the most avoided boxers in his division. Dennis Hogan deserves credit for stepping up to a challenge which many other middleweights wouldn’t. Hogan is a tough, aggressive fighter who many believe should already be a world champion. This is an intriguing clash of styles and personalities.” 

“We’re looking forward to hosting another great night of Brooklyn Boxing and to welcoming Jermall Charlo back into our ring for the fourth time,” said Keith Sheldon, EVP of Programming and Development for BSE Global. “December’s matchup against Dennis Hogan exemplifies our ongoing commitment to bringing world class fights to Barclays Center featuring the sport’s most exciting stars.”

The undefeated Charlo (29-0, 21 Kos) is one of the most exciting young champions in the sport. He and his twin brother, Jermell, were super welterweight champions simultaneously between 2015-17 before Jermall decided to move up to middleweight. Charlo won the IBF Junior Middleweight title with a thrilling TKO victory over Cornelius Bundrage in 2015. He made three successful defenses, including a victory over current unified champion Julian Williams, before moving up to middleweight.

The 29-year-old has proven to be just as dominant at 160 pounds as he was at 154, with three convincing performances since moving up in weight. Charlo will be making his second defense of the WBC middleweight title and fighting for the fourth time at Barclays Center. In a homecoming defense in June on SHOWTIME, he successfully defended the title against Brandon Adams with a unanimous decision in his first bout since being elevated to full champion. In his last fight at Barclays Center he shared the card with his twin brother, Jermell, and came away with a hard-fought unanimous decision over tough veteran Matt Korobov last December.

“Nobody knows Dennis Hogan like I know Dennis Hogan,” Said Charlo. “He likes to come straight forward with that ‘Mexican’ stil. I’m going to exploit that. He’s a tough fighter and he deserves a shot at the world championship because he competed well at the championship level already.

“I’m going on two consecutive 12-rounders and I don’t feel good about that. I’m ready to get back to my thing, which is knocking them out and getting them out of there. This is a big fight for me because it’s my 30th fight and I’m about to turn 30.”

Hogan (28-2-1, 7 Kos) is coming off a razor-thin majority decision loss to Jaime Munguia in a super welterweight world championship match on April 13 in which many thought Hogan did enough to pull off the victory. The 34-year-old, who was born in Ireland and now lives in Queensland, Australien, is looking for a clear-cut victory over Charlo in his first U.S. fight since 2016. Hogan put together a six fight winning streak before the title fight against Munguia.

“I am excited for the opportunity to challenge for the most prestigious belt in boxing, the WBC Middleweight world title against Jermall Charlo at Barclays Center,” said Hogan. “It doesn’t get any bigger than fighting in Brooklyn on SHOWTIME against the undefeated middleweight champion. After the disappointment I faced in April in Mexico, having been cheated out of the WBO Junior Middleweight world title that I strongly feel I earned, I am extremely grateful to have another opportunity to become a world champion.

“As an Irishman, I feel right at home in New York and have no issue traveling abroad once again to achieve my dream. I have successfully competed at light heavyweight and middleweight as a professional and I will feel stronger with the extra six pounds on December 7. I’m thankful to Jermall and his team for working with my team to provide this opportunity. I will be prepared and ready to shine.”

LAS VEGAS – October 16, 2019 – Super middleweight prospects Kevin “The Second Coming” Newman 10-1-1 (6 Kos) och Mark Anthony Hernandez 14-2-1 (3 Kos) discuss training camp, their first matchup, and the animosity between the camps leading up to their ShoBox: The Next Generation debuts on Friday, November 1 leva på SHOWTIME på 10:30 p.m. ET/PT from Sam’s Town Live in Las Vegas.

Den ShoBox four-fight telecast will see Mayweather Promotions’ undefeated super featherweight prospect Xavier Martinez (14-0, 10 Kos) return for his second consecutive test on the series, this time against veteran Filipino Jessie Cris Rosales (22-3-1, 10 Kos). In the co-featured fight, 2016 Olympian Richardson Hitchins (9-0, 5 Kos) will face once-beaten Kevin Johnson (7-1, 4 Kos), while undefeated Las Vegas knockout artist Rolando Romero9-0 (8 Kos) opens the telecast.

Tickets for the Mayweather Promotions’ Sin City Showdown start at $25 och kan köpas på: https://mayweatherpromotions.com/events/.

After back-to-back KO performances this year, Newman returns with a vengeance to face the man who owns the only blemish on his record in a rematch with Hernandez. I 2017, with eight professional bouts on his record, Newman appeared on the Mayweather vs. McGregor undercard where he took on Hernandez, a tough rising prospect. After six rounds of what Newman calls, “the worst performance of my professional career,” judges ruled the bout a unanimous decision in favor of Hernandez. Newman took the loss in stride and bounced back with three consecutive wins and looks ahead to the rematch, while Hernandez is focused on repeating history.

Here is what the fighters had to say ahead of the November 1 omspel:

På träningsläger:

Newman: “Träningsläger har pågått stor. We’ve been working hard day in and day out, making sure we leave no stone unturned and working on a solid game plan come fight night.

“My runs and workouts have been a little longer and harder. We’re just focusing on getting better every day and pushing as hard as we can to ensure we get the W in the rematch.

“People are going to see a slightly different version of me this time around. I won’t give away any specifics, but I’m going to shock a lot of people come fight night and they will get the best Kevin Newman.”

Hernandez: ”Lägret har varit fantastiskt. Jag har ett bra team bakom mig. I expect him to come harder for this fight so we’re preparing for anything this time around. But we will remain smart at all times. There are things I’m taking with me this time around that I’ve learned and practiced in the gym. I’ve improved since our last fight so he better be ready.”

On what the importance of a win and the rivalry between the fighters:

Newman: “A win in this fight does a lot for my career, but it’s not just the win itself, it’s how I win that will do the most for me. Fans can expect an explosive fight. It will put me in a great place to further my career and get tougher fights, which will lead to the end goal of a title shot.

“There is definitely some animosity between us. A lot has been said, more so on his end than mine, but I just let him and his camp talk. I expect him to fight to win and I’m just going to continue to work hard like I have these past two years since the first fight. We don’t like each other, Jag kan berätta att, so this fight will bring fireworks and I’m just going to let me hands do the talking and get the W.”

Hernandez: “A second win will just prove that I am the better fighter.

“I always come to win; I train to win. My family will be in attendance supporting me and I know his will too, so this will be a fight with both of us having a lot to prove.

“There’s been a lot of talk going into this rematch, but none of that affects me. I’m just working hard and I’m going to come even stronger than the first fight. None of the stuff outside the ring really matters to me. I out boxed him and outfought him in 2017, and I plan to do the same again this time around, mixed with a few other tactics.”

How does it feel to fight on national television?

Newman: “It feels great to return and fight on national television, especially getting to fight on SHOWTIME for the first time in my career. I’m very thankful to Leonard Ellerbe and Floyd Mayweather as well as SHOWTIME for giving me this opportunity. The last time I fought on national television I put on a great display of my talent and skills, so I look forward to doing the same this time around.”

“I’m very excited for this opportunity to redeem myself. I knew this day would come, Jag visste bara inte när. I’ve won fights since the first fight and had dominant performances in the process, but nothing has filled that void. This is my opportunity to do that, so come November 1, when it’s all said and done, Jag kommer att segra.”

Hernandez: “It’s my first time onShoBox and I’m thankful for this experience. Fans can expect a great fight. He’s a really good fighter and I won’t take anything from him. Moving up again will be a challenge, but I think I can beat him again.”

DEVIN “THE DREAM” HANEY HAS VISIONS OF BRINGING BOXING BACK TO ITS GLORY DAYS

Lämna en kommentar
Photo by Ed Mulholland Photographer – Matchroom Boxing USA


LAS VEGAS, NV (Oktober 10, 2019) – Undefeated WBC interim champion, Devin “The Dream” Haney (23-0, 15 Kos), is calling out all promoters to join him and his co-promoter, Eddie Hearn av Matchroom Boxning, in their quest to bring boxing back to its glory days, where the best always fought the best.



After his stunning victory over Zaur Abdullaev (11-1, 7 Kos), where he fractured his orbital bone with a crushing overhand right, Haney became the mandatory challenger to fight pound for pound king Vasyl Lomatjenko (14-1, 10 Kos), who holds the WBC lightweight title. Haney feels it’s important for boxing to flourish, if all elite fighters in their respective divisions fight one another.



“A lot of writers are saying I’m not ready to face Lomachenko, that’s ridiculous,” said the twenty-year old phenom Haney. “All the guys he beat, I would beat also. Let’s not forget Lomachenko lost to a man who has fourteen loses, so to say I’m not on his level is crazy talk. Loma fought for a world title in his second professional fight. Han var 1-0, Jag är 23-0. Who wouldn’t want to watch me and Loma fight? The answer is everyone would want to watch that fight and that’s a fact. I hate to say it, but it must be said, It’s embarrassing for Lomachenko if he keeps ducking this twenty year old, but in reality, there is no one that I can’t beat at 135 pounds!”



“Every promoter in boxing should put aside their egos and make the big fights,” continued Haney. “I know the fans will appreciate the best fighting the best and they deserve to see these big fights. Just nu, boxing is so fragmented. I’m a fan of the sport and it would be a travesty if some of these big fights don’t get made. Arum said I signed with the wrong company, but he’s not making the big fights the people want to see. He’s serving the interest of his company and I knew that mentality could hold me back from becoming one of the greats in this sport, hence me signing with Matchroom. There are many more sensational matchups that are long overdue. It’s good business, and boxing will thrive, if the best are fighting the best.”



While networks and sanctioning bodies play key factors in making big fights, things can always get complicated. Haney feels confident that the sport will grow immensely, if his vision comes to fruition.



“Everyone would benefit if the big fights are made,” concluded Haney, who is the CEO of his own promotional company, Devin Haney Promotions. “I became a promoter early in my career because I want to bring the sport of boxing together. A formula needs to be made where all parties can be compensated, and the fans get to see great fights. Eddie Hearn and Matchroom boxing whom I co-promote with, put their fighters in tough, but they get them really paid. Now that’s something you can respect. Boxing needs to unite, and the mega fights should be made immediately.”

Top Super Welterweight Erickson Lubin Now Set to Take On Hard-Hitting Nathaniel Gallimore In Main Event Of Premier Boxing Champions Event On Saturday October 26, Live on SHOWTIME® from Santander Arena in Reading, Pa.

Mer, Rising Heavyweight Sensation Efe Ajagba Added To The Televised Card Replacing Rau’shee Warren vs. Emmanuel Rodriguez

Terrell Gausha & Rau’shee Warren Withdraw Due to Injuries

READING, Pa. (Oktober 10, 2019) – Top super welterweight contender Erickson “Hammare” Lubin will now face hard-hitting Nathaniel Gallimore in a 10-round showdown on Saturday, Oktober 26, live on SHOWTIME from Santander Arena in Reading, Pa., i ett evenemang som presenteras av Premier Boxing Champions.

The all-action Gallimore replaces Terrell Gausha, who was forced to withdraw from the main event bout due to an injury to his left hand during sparring that required surgery.

Unbeaten heavyweight sensation Efe Ajagba will enter the ring against once-beaten Jack Mulowayi in a 10-round bout that replaces the previously announced Rau’Shee Warren vs. Emmanuel Rodriguez fight. Warren had to withdraw from the contest due to a right hand injury suffered during sparring.

The three-fight SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION begins live at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and also features former lightweight world champion Robert påsk Jr. making his super lightweight debut against battle-tested veteran Adrian “El Tigre” Granados in the 10-round co-featured attraction.

Biljetter till evenemanget, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and King’s Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased through Ticketmaster.com or at the Santander box office (Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., Saturdays 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.).

Orlando, Florida’s Lubin (21-1, 16 Kos) was one of the fastest rising contenders in boxing as he quickly raced to the top of the ladder to challenge Jermell Charlo for the WBC 154-pound championship in 2017. Following a one-punch, first-round stoppage to Charlo, the 24-year-old Lubin has rebounded with three straight stoppage victories of his own to regain his momentum toward a world championship.

In February, Lubin became the first boxer to stop former champion Ishe Smith and is coming off a TKO victory over Zaharia Attou in his last fight in June on SHOWTIME.

“It’s unfortunate that Gausha had to pull out because I was really looking forward to that fight,” said Lubin. “Now I’m facing Nathaniel Gallimore, who is a very good fighter whose only losses are to top level guys. I’m expecting a very difficult fight, one that will be explosive for the fans, but one I know I will win. It’s my time to show the world I’m ready to be back on top of the super welterweight division.”

The 31-year-old Gallimore (21-3-1, 17 Kos) most recently defeated Antonio Todd by decision in August to rebound from close decision losses to unified champion Julian Williams and top-ranked contender Patrick Teixeira in 2018. Born in Kingston, Jamaica and fighting out of Evanston, Illinois, Gallimore put together a seven-fight winning streak before the Williams fight, including knockouts of contenders Justin DeLoach and Jeison Rosario.

“I’m approaching this like any other big fight that was in the works for a long time,” said Gallimore. “I’ve been waiting for this moment in my career for a while. This is a stepping stone that can take me where I want to go. Lubin’s a pretty good boxer-puncher. He was on the rise for a moment and I knew about him coming up. Det kommer att bli en stor kamp. I’ll make any adjustment in the ring to capitalize on what I need to do to be victorious that night.”

Nigeria’s Ajagba (11-0, 9 Kos) most recently passed the toughest test of his professional career when he defeated fellow 2016 Olympian Ali Eren Demirezen by 10-round unanimous decision in July. The 25-year-old Ajagba gained widespread notoriety in August 2018 when his opponent, Curtis Harper, walked out of the ring after touching gloves to start the first round. Ajagba won the fight without throwing a punch as Harper was disqualified.

Living in Stafford, Texas and training with Ronnie Shields, Ajagba has steadily increased his competition and added knockouts wins over Amir Mansour and Michael Wallisch this year.

Fighting out of Antwerpen, Belgien, by way of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mulowayi (7-1-1, 3 Kos) kommer att göra sin US. debut on October 26 in a pro career that dates back to 2015. The 32-year-old was unbeaten in his first seven pro fights before losing a narrow majority decision to Herve Bubeaux in a bout for the Belgium heavyweight title in May. He rebounded to defeat Artur Kubiak in July heading into his fight against Ajagba.

FLINTA, MIG. - Oktober 5, 2019 - Obesegrad weltervikt Jaron Ennis gjorde ännu en knockout i sin återkomst till nationell tv lördag på SHOWTIME med en tredje omgång TKO av Demian Fernandez vid Dort Federal Credit Union Event Center i Flint, Mich.

Ennis, allmänt ansedd som ett av de främsta utsikterna inom boxning, slösade ingen tid i sin första kamp under den nationella strålkastaren på nästan ett år. Philadelphia infödda, som hade gjort två höjdpunkter KOs i 2018 påShoBox: Den nya generationen, nu har 22 knockouts i 24 professionella slagsmål.

Ennis var aggressiv från öppningsklockan, landning 43 procent av hans maktskott när han bytte från ortodox till southpaw. Två varningar för låga slag under kampens första minut hindrade inte den snabba Ennis från att attackera kroppen. I det tredje, Ennis backade Fernandez in i hörnet och släppte lös ett angrepp av obesvarade kraftskott som tvingade argentinern att ta ett knä. Fernandez slog räkningen men sa till domaren Frank Garza att han inte kunde se och kampen slutade omedelbart.

”Det känns bra att vara tillbaka i rampljuset och vinna ytterligare en vinst,”Sa Ennis. ”Jag visade lite av mina färdigheter. Jag ville visa mer, men min pappa sa, gå och hämta honom därifrån, så det är vad jag gjorde.

”Jag har varit redo för en stor kamp ett tag. Jag vill gå till nästa nivå. Jag måste bara fortsätta att göra så här show och fortsätta att göra mina grejer och förhoppningsvis kommer mitt titelskott att komma någon gång nästa år. De stora namnen skulle bättre börja springa. Jag skulle till och med gå ner till 140 för att få en av dem. ”

Efter kampen, Fernandez (12-2, 5 Kos) transporterades till ett lokalt sjukhus med en misstänkt orbital skada.

I inledningen avSHOWTIME BOXNING: SPECIALUTGÅVA telecast, obesegrad amerikansk tungviktprospekt Jermaine Franklin gjorde två knockdowns på väg till ett enhälligt beslut i 10 omgångar över Pavel Sour, scored 97-91, 98-91, 98-90. 

Slåss mindre än en timme från sin hemstad Saginaw, Mich., Franklin (20-0, 13 Kos) gjorde knockdowns i den sjätte och 10th rundor. 24-åringen gjorde sitt tredje SHOWTIME-utseende i rad den 2019 och visade betydande förbättringar från hans tidigare tv-sändningar, särskilt i sin hastighet, rörlighet och kraft.

”Jag försökte få knockout, Jag ville ha det riktigt illa, men det känns fantastiskt att få W,”Sa Franklin, som landade 50 procent av hans kraftskott. ”Jag letade inte efter en knockdown första gången han gick ner. Jag försökte vara snabb och fånga honom med en räknare och jag fångade honom. Det förvånade mig att han gick ner för att det inte var meningen att det skulle vara ett power punch. ”

”Jag trodde inte att jag avslutade honom vid den andra knockdownen. jag ville, men jag saktade ner och blev lite för avslappnad istället. Jag borde ha stannat kvar på honom. ”

”Det finns bara några mindre saker jag fortfarande behöver arbeta med, som att slåss på insidan, kämpar och vet när man ska slå på insidan - mindre saker. När jag förstår det, Jag mår bra. ”

Sur (11-2, 6 Kos), som gjorde sin US. debut, var frustrerad över sin motståndare.

”Jag kunde inte frigöra mina slag och jag släppte inte händerna,Sa sur. ”Jag var för hårt där inne. Jag skadades aldrig riktigt av Franklins slag. Han är väldigt stark, men jag kunde hantera det. Jag försökte fånga honom med en stark högra hand. ”

Ennis vs.. Fernandez bout höjdes till huvudevenemangsstatus efter Claressa Shields vs.. Ivana Habazin-kampen avbröts efter en bråk före fredagens officiella vägning som ledde till en skada på Habazins tränare, James Ali Bashir.

Kvällens liveevenemang marknadsfördes av Salita Promotions.

En encore-presentation av kvällens dubbelhuvud kommer att sändas måndag kl 10 p.m. ET / PT på SHOWTIME EXTREME och kommer att finnas tillgängligt via nätverkets On Demand-plattformar.
