LAS VEGAS, NV (Oktober 10, 2019) – Ubesejret WBC midlertidig mester, Devin “Drømmen” Haney (23-0, 15 KOS), opfordrer alle promotorer til at slutte sig til ham og hans co-promotor, Eddie Hearn af Matchroom Boxing, i deres søgen efter at bringe boksning tilbage til dens storhedstid, hvor de bedste altid kæmpede mod de bedste.
Efter hans fantastiske sejr over Zaur Abdullaev (11-1, 7 KOS), hvor han brækkede sin orbitale knogle med en knusende overhånds højre, Haney blev den obligatoriske udfordrer til at kæmpe pund for pund konge Vasyl Lomachenko (14-1, 10 KOS), som har WBC letvægtstitlen. Haney føler, at det er vigtigt for boksning at blomstre, hvis alle elitekæmpere i deres respektive divisioner kæmper mod hinanden.
“Mange forfattere siger, at jeg ikke er klar til at møde Lomachenko, det er latterligt,” sagde det tyve år gamle fænomen Haney. “Alle de fyre, han slog, Jeg ville også slå. Lad os ikke glemme Lomachenko tabte til en mand, der har fjorten tab, så at sige, at jeg ikke er på hans niveau, er vanvittig snak. Loma kæmpede om en verdenstitel i sin anden professionelle kamp. Han var 1-0, Jeg er 23-0. Hvem vil ikke gerne se mig og Loma slås? Svaret er, at alle vil se den kamp, og det er en kendsgerning. Jeg hader at sige det, men det skal siges, Det er pinligt for Lomachenko, hvis han bliver ved med at dukke denne tyveårige, men i virkeligheden, der er ingen, jeg ikke kan slå på 135 pounds!”
“Enhver promotor i boksning bør lægge deres egoer til side og lave de store kampe,” fortsatte Haney. “Jeg ved, at fansene vil værdsætte den bedste kamp bedst, og de fortjener at se disse store kampe. Lige nu, boksning er så fragmenteret. Jeg er fan af sporten, og det ville være en parodi, hvis nogle af disse store kampe ikke bliver lavet. Arum sagde, at jeg skrev under med det forkerte firma, men han laver ikke de store kampe, folk gerne vil se. Han tjener sit firmas interesse, og jeg vidste, at mentaliteten kunne holde mig tilbage fra at blive en af de store i denne sport, derfor skriver jeg under med Matchroom. Der er mange flere sensationelle matchups, der er længe ventet. Det er en god forretning, og boksning vil trives, hvis de bedste kæmper mod de bedste.”
Mens netværk og sanktionsorganer spiller nøglefaktorer i at lave store slagsmål, tingene kan altid blive komplicerede. Haney føler sig overbevist om, at sporten vil vokse gevaldigt, hvis hans vision går i opfyldelse.
“Alle ville have gavn af, hvis de store kampe bliver lavet,” konkluderede Haney, som er administrerende direktør for sit eget reklamefirma, Devin Haney Kampagner. “Jeg blev promotor tidligt i min karriere, fordi jeg gerne vil bringe boksesporten sammen. Der skal laves en formel, hvor alle parter kan kompenseres, og fansene får store kampe at se. Eddie Hearn og Matchroom boksning, som jeg promoverer sammen med, sætte deres kæmpere i hårdhed, men de får dem virkelig betalt. Nu er det noget, du kan respektere. Boksning skal forene sig, og megakampene burde laves med det samme.”

Unbeaten heavyweight sensationEfe Ajagbawill enter the ring against once-beatenJack Mulowayiin 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 championRobert Påske Jr.making his super lightweight debut against battle-tested veteranAdrian “El Tigre” Granadosin the 10-round co-featured attraction.

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 til at være 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) vil gøre 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.

FLINT, MICH. – October 5, 2019 – Unbeaten welterweight Jaron Ennis scored yet another knockout in his return to national television Saturday on SHOWTIME with a third round TKO of Demian Fernandez at Dort Federal Credit Union Event Center in Flint, Mich.
Ennis, widely considered one of the top prospects in boxing, wasted no time in his first fight under the national spotlight in nearly a year. The Philadelphia native, who had scored two highlight reel KOs in 2018 påShoBox: Den nye generation, now has 22 knockouts i 24 professionelle kampe.
Ennis was aggressive from the opening bell, landing 43 percent of his power shots as he switched from orthodox to southpaw. Two warnings for low blows in the first minute of the fight did not stop the speedy Ennis from attacking the body. In the third, Ennis backed Fernandez into the corner and unleashed an onslaught of unanswered power shots that forced the Argentine to take a knee. Fernandez beat the count but told referee Frank Garza that he couldn’t see and the fight was immediately ended.
“It feels good to be back in the spotlight and get another win,” Ennis said. “I showed a little of my skills. I wanted to show more, but my dad said go get him and get him out of there, so that’s what I did.
“I’ve been ready for a big fight for a while. I want to go to the next level. I just have to keep putting on shows like this and keep doing my thing and hopefully my title shot will come sometime next year. The big names had better start running. I would even go down to 140 to get one of them.”
Efter kampen, Fernandez (12-2, 5 KOS) was transported to a local hospital with a suspected orbital injury.
In the opening bout of theSHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL UDGAVE fjersynsudsendelse, undefeated American heavyweight prospect Jermaine Franklin scored two knockdowns en route to a 10-round unanimous decision over Pavel Sour, scoret 97-91, 98-91, 98-90.
Fighting less than an hour from his hometown of Saginaw, Mich., Franklin (20-0, 13 KOS) scored knockdowns in the sixth and 10throunds. The 24-year-old was making his third consecutive SHOWTIME appearance of 2019 and showed significant improvement from his prior televised bouts, particularly in his speed, mobility and power.
“I was trying to get the knockout, I wanted it real bad, but it feels great to get the W,” said Franklin, der landede 50 percent of his power shots. “I wasn’t looking for a knockdown the first time he went down. I was trying to be quick and catch him with a counter and I caught him. It surprised me that he went down because it wasn’t meant to be a power punch.”
“I didn’t think I finished him on the second knockdown. I wanted to, but I slowed down and got a little too relaxed instead. I should have stayed on him.”
“There are just some minor things I still need to work on, like fighting on the inside, grappling and knowing when to punch on the inside – minor things. Once I get that down, I’ll be doing well.”
Sour (11-2, 6 KOS), der var at gøre hans U.S. debut, was frustrated with his opponent.
“I couldn’t free up my punches and I didn’t let my hands go,” Sour said. “I was too tight in there. I was never really hurt by Franklin’s punches. He is very strong, but I could handle it. I was trying to catch him with a strong right hand.”
The Ennis vs. Fernandez bout was elevated to main event status after the Claressa Shields vs. Ivana Habazin fight was called off following an altercation prior to Friday’s official weigh-in that resulted in an injury to Habazin’s trainer, James Ali Bashir.
Aftens levende begivenhed blev fremmet af Salita Promotions.

PHILADELPHIA PA — Members of the Philadelphia City Council presented a resolution honoring J Russell Peltz at this morning’s council meeting on behalf of President Darrell Clarke. The resolution recognized Peltz’ contribution to the city over 50 years of promoting boxing in Philadelphia. President Clarke serves as the City Councilman for District 5, where Peltz promoted his first boxing event at the Blue Horizon on September 30, 1969.
The resolution gave a brief history of Peltz’ career before thanking him for the profound impact he had on the city over the last 50 år. It also expressed the wish that the next generation of boxing promoters continue to preserve Philadelphia’s legacy as a boxing stronghold.
Peltz was gracious in his remarks, and had the crowd laughing when he began speaking about his career.
“I’m humbled to be honored by the city,” he began, “because if you think about it, the only thing I’ve done over the last 50 years is start fights that other people finish.
“I’ve grown up in the greatest fight city in the world,” he continued. “Some of the greatest fighters of all time have fought for me – hall of fame fighters – beginning with my first love, Bennie Briscoe in 1969, and going all the way up through one of my fighters winning a world title in Bejing, China a couple years ago by the name of Jason Sosa.”
He closed his remarks with a story about playing “Cowboys & Indians” as a kid, and how he thought it would be so cool if he could just play the game as an adult, instead of going to work every day. “Ærligt, that’s what my career has been like,” sagde han, and thanked the Council for the honor.
Peltz was joined in attendance by his wife, Linda, and his protege and the promoter of Friday’s “Blood, Sweat and 50 År” fight card at 2300 Arena, Michelle Rosado.

Xavier Martinez is one to watch for as he headlines his firstShoBox kort. We have a very exciting line-up of fighters, both on and off-television, making for a card that you don’t want to miss.”
Martinez (14-0, 10 KOS), af Sacramento, Calif., has scored six straight knockouts, including a third-round stoppage of John Vicente Moralde in hisShoBox debut i april (Watch KOHer). The 21-year-old turned professional in 2017 in Mexico following an amateur career where he amassed an 85-10 record while competing in the 2012 og 2013 National Championships and earning a ranking as the No. 3 amateur in the country.

“He’s undefeated, but I have far more experience with better guys so I have that advantage coming into this fight,” Rosales said. “I’m coming off two tough fights and this one is going to be another great fight to test myself as a fighter as well as a good show for the fans. I’m back in the gym working on a couple of things, and I’m coming into this fight stronger and sharper.”
Hitchins (9-0, 5 KOS), fra Brooklyn, N.Y., is a former two-time Golden Gloves champion who represented his parents’ home country of Haiti in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games, where he lost to team USA’s Gary Russell Jr. One of boxing’s top young prospects, Hitchins has sparred and trained with several world champions including Terence Crawford and stablemate Gervonta Davis. Just 21-years-old, Hitchins boasts incredible hand and foot speed and the boxing IQ of a veteran contender. Having fought eight out of his nine pro fights in his hometown, Hitchins will travel to Las Vegas looking for a statement win in his television debut.
“I’m ready to pick back up where I left off," sagde Hitchins. “I’ve remained in great shape since my last opponent fell through back in July, but it worked out because now I get an opportunity to show my talents on national television. My brother Tank [Gervonta Davis] showed me a lot of things this summer and great techniques to sharpen my skills. I’m working hard and getting work in multiple gyms across different weight classes to help me with my speed and power. I’m going to give it my all and deliver with a dominating win.”
Johnson, a Las Vegas resident, started his professional career with four consecutive TKO wins. His past four fights have all come against undefeated opposition including a split decision win over Larry Gomez, som var 8-0 entering the fight, in his last outing in April. Johnson’s lone loss came against 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist Fazliddin Gaibnazarov.
“This is going to be an entertaining fight for the fans,” said Johnson. “I predict a fourth or fifth round knockout – that isn’t me being cocky, just me understanding what’s on the line. This is a huge fight for me and I’m going to rise to the occasion. I’m here to expose everyone I step in the ring with. I’ll fight anybody I feel is a good challenge. I’ve seen Hitchins spar Devin Haney and I’ve watched a few of his fights. He did really good, but I was able to identify some opportunities and I feel confident I can beat this kid.”
Las Vegas’ Newman started boxing when he was 9 years old and built up an amateur record of 25-5 before turning pro in 2014. Impressed by Newman’s skills and technique in the ring as an amateur, Floyd Mayweather signed the rising middleweight to his growing stable of fighters in the summer of 2014. Newman made his professional debut on the Mayweather vs. Maidana II undercard, where he fought to a draw with Azamat Umarzoda. He won his next seven contests before dropping a decision to his November 1 modstander, Mark Anthony Hernandez, on the undercard of Mayweather vs. McGregor in August 2017. He has since rebounded with three consecutive KO wins at Sam’s Town.
“I’m thankful to my team for another fight,” said Newman. “This is my third fight this year, and I’m looking forward to putting on a show and really ending this year with a bang. Training camp has consisted of great sparring with A-level guys, including Anthony Dirrell for his fight with David Benavidez. I was able to get a lot of quality rounds in already, and this is just the beginning of my training camp. I’m extremely sharp now so we’re just maintaining that and getting my body into fight shape.”
Hernandez, 26, af Fresno, Calif., is no stranger to fighting under the spotlight. After dropping a split decision to Kyrone Davis in 2017, Hernandez bounced back with the biggest win of his career over Newman on the undercard of the blockbuster Mayweather vs. McGregor event. Hernandez was among 16 professional fighters selected to compete at 160 pounds on the 2018 reboot ofThe Contender serie. He earned a split decision over Danny Valdivia and a unanimous verdict over Quantavious Cash to finish behind champion Brandon Adams and runner-up Shane Mosley Jr. In February of this year, he suffered a setback in a rematch to Jeison Rosario, who he fought to a draw with in 2018, but rebounded with a unanimous decision win over Francisco Castro in his last bout.
“I expect Kevin to come better than he did the first time we fought,sagde Hernandez. “The first fight was a clear unanimous decision for me. I didn’t think there was any controversy. He has his reasons as to why he didn’t perform, but that doesn’t matter to me. I went up in weight to take that fight from 154 til 165 pounds so I was also coming in with a slight disadvantage, and now I’m moving up again to fight him again. I out-boxed him and out-fought him the first time and fans can expect a great fight again. He’s a really good fighter, I won’t take anything from him. Moving up again will be a challenge, but I think I can beat him again.”
Rising lightweight prospect Romero, born and raised in North Las Vegas, started his boxing career at age 18 after spending much of his youth competing in Judo. Despite a limited amateur career consisting of just 45 slagsmål, Romero gained the attention of Floyd Mayweather and was signed to his promotional company in November of 2016. He made his professional debut the next month and scored a TKO just over a minute into the fight. With eight stoppages in nine professional fights, Romero packs a heavy punch and will be looking for his fifth straight knockout on November 1.
“It’s been a great year for me professionally,” said Romero. “I’ve been able to gain an even larger fan base since my last performance earlier this year and I’m excited to do what I do best and that’s knocking out the competition and continuing to grow as a fighter. A lot of people have doubted me for my lack of amateur experience, but my power and boxing IQ are undeniable. I’m taking the experience from my last fight and working to correct a few things. My goal is to become the most versatile fighter backed by power.”
