LAS VEGAS, NV (Lokakuu 10, 2019) – Voittamaton WBC:n väliaikainen mestari, Devin “Unelma” Haney (23-0, 15 KOs), kutsuu kaikki promoottorit liittymään hänen ja hänen apupromoottorinsa joukkoon, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Nyrkkeily, pyrkiessään tuomaan nyrkkeilyn takaisin loistoaikaan, missä parhaat taistelivat aina parhaiden kanssa.
Hänen hämmästyttävän voittonsa jälkeen Zaur Abdullaev (11-1, 7 KOs), jossa hän mursi kiertoradan luunsa murskaavalla käden oikealla, Haneysta tuli pakollinen haastaja taistelemaan punta kuninkaasta Vasyl Lomachenko (14-1, 10 KOs), joka omistaa WBC:n kevytsarjan mestaruuden. Haneyn mielestä on tärkeää, että nyrkkeily kukoistaa, jos kaikki eliittitaistelijat omissa divisioonissaan taistelevat toisiaan vastaan.
“Monet kirjoittajat sanovat, etten ole valmis kohtaamaan Lomachenkon, se on naurettavaa,” sanoi kaksikymmentävuotias ilmiö Haney. “Kaikki kaverit, jotka hän voitti, lyöisin myös. Älkäämme unohtako Lomachenkon tappiota miehelle, jolla on neljätoista tappiota, niin sanoa, että en ole hänen tasollaan, on hullua puhetta. Loma taisteli maailmanmestaruudesta toisessa ammattiottelussaan. Hän oli 1-0, Olen 23-0. Kukapa ei haluaisi katsoa minun ja Loman tappelemista? Vastaus on, että kaikki haluaisivat nähdä sen taistelun, ja se on tosiasia. Inhoan sanoa sitä, mutta se on sanottava, Lomachenkon kannalta on kiusallista, jos hän jatkaa tämän parinkymmenen vuoden ikää, mutta todellisuudessa, ei ole ketään, jolle en voi voittaa 135 kiloa!”
“Jokaisen nyrkkeilypromoottorin tulee jättää egonsa syrjään ja käydä suuret taistelut,” jatkoi Haney. “Tiedän, että fanit arvostavat parasta taistelua parhaiten ja he ansaitsevat nähdä nämä suuret taistelut. Right now, nyrkkeily on niin hajanaista. Olen urheilun fani ja olisi hullua, jos joitain näistä suurista taisteluista ei käy. Arum sanoi, että tein sopimuksen väärän yrityksen kanssa, mutta hän ei käy suuria taisteluita, joita ihmiset haluavat nähdä. Hän palvelee yrityksensä etua ja tiesin, että mentaliteetti voisi estää minua tulemasta tämän urheilun huipulle, siksi allekirjoitin Matchroomin kanssa. On monia sensaatiomaisempia otteluita, joita on odotettu pitkään. Se on hyvää bisnestä, ja nyrkkeily menestyy, jos parhaat taistelevat parhaiden kanssa.”
Vaikka verkostot ja seuraamuselimet ovat keskeisiä tekijöitä suurissa taisteluissa, asiat voivat aina olla monimutkaisia. Haney luottaa siihen, että laji kasvaa valtavasti, jos hänen visionsa toteutuu.
“Kaikki hyötyisivät, jos isot taistelut käydään,” päätteli Haney, joka on oman myynninedistämisyrityksensä toimitusjohtaja, Devin Haneyn promootiot. “Minusta tuli promoottori urani varhaisessa vaiheessa, koska haluan yhdistää nyrkkeilylajin. On laadittava kaava, jossa kaikki osapuolet voivat saada korvauksen, ja fanit saavat nähdä upeita taisteluita. Eddie Hearn ja Matchroom nyrkkeily, jonka kanssa mainostan, laittaa taistelijansa koviin, mutta he saavat todella palkan. Nyt sitä voi kunnioittaa. Nyrkkeilyn on yhdistettävä, ja megataistelut pitäisi käydä heti.”

READING, Pa. (Lokakuu 10, 2019) – Top super welterweight contenderErickson “Vasara” Lubin will now face hard-hittingNathaniel Gallimorein a 10-round showdown on Saturday, Lokakuu 26, live on SHOWTIME from Santander Arena in Reading, Pa., Premier Boxing Championsin esittelemässä tapahtumassa.

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 Pääsiäinen Jr.making his super lightweight debut against battle-tested veteranAdrian “El Tigre” Granadosin the 10-round co-featured attraction.
Liput tapahtumaan, 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 iltapäivällä, Saturdays 10 a.m. – 2 iltapäivällä).
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. Se tulee olemaan suuri taistelu. 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, Belgia, by way of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mulowayi (7-1-1, 3 KOs) tekee hänen 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 päälläShoBox: New Generation, now has 22 reiät 24 ammattikäyttöön taistelee.
Ennis was aggressive from the opening bell, lasku 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.”
Taistelun jälkeen, Fernandez (12-2, 5 KOs) was transported to a local hospital with a suspected orbital injury.
Vuoden avausottelussaNÄYTTÖAIKA BOXING: ERIKOISPAINOS televisiointi, undefeated American heavyweight prospect Jermaine Franklin scored two knockdowns en route to a 10-round unanimous decision over Pavel Sour, sijoitettiin 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, joka laskeutui 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.”
Hapan (11-2, 6 KOs), who was making his U.S. debyytti, 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.
Tonight’s live event was promoted by Salita Promotions.

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.

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. “Rehellisesti, that’s what my career has been like,” hän sanoi, 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 Vuotta” fight card at 2300 Areena, Michelle Rosado.

“I am really excited to get back into the ring,” said the 21-year-old Martinez. “Sam’s Town has become my home away from home and I’ve had a lot of great performances there. I’m really just looking forward to putting on a great performance again on national television and reaching a larger audience. Soon enough everyone will know who Xavier Martinez is.
“Harjoitusleiri on menossa suuri. I’ve added a strength and conditioning coach and a nutritionist. Having someone help me prep my meals and educate me on what’s going into my body has really helped me train better and get my body in the right shape. My energy level for training is different and I feel stronger.”
Rosales (22-3-1, 10 KOs), 27, kääntyi ammattilainen 2008 and started his professional career unbeaten in his first 22 bouts while competing mostly in his native Philippines. Rosales stepped up his level of opposition in 2017, losing to former two-division world champion Jhonny Gonzalez in 2017 ja 2016 Olympic Silver Medalist and undefeated prospect Shakur Stevenson in 2019. Hänen viimeinen ottelu, he lost a close split-decision to undefeated prospect Tyler McCeary. Experienced against top opposition, Rosales’ three losses have come against opponents with a combined record of 96-11-1.
“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), Brooklyn, N.Y., on entinen kaksinkertainen kultaisen käsineen mestari, joka edusti vanhempiensa kotimaata Haitia 2016 Rio de Janeiron olympialaiset, where he lost to team USA’s Gary Russell Jr. Yksi nyrkkeilyn nuorimmista mahdollisuuksista, Hitchins on harrastanut ja harjoittanut useita maailmanmestareita, kuten Terence Crawford ja tallimiehen Gervonta Davis.

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,”Sanoi 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, joka oli 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 ennen kuin käännyt ammattilaisen puoleen 2014. Vaikuttanut Newmanin taidot ja tekniikka kehässä amatöörinä, Floyd Mayweather signed the rising middleweight to his growing stable of fighters in the summer of 2014. Newman teki ammattilaisdebyyttinsä Mayweather vs.. Maidana II -alikortti, where he fought to a draw with Azamat Umarzoda. He won his next seven contests before dropping a decision to his November 1 vastustaja, 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, Fresno, Kalifornia., 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 ofContender sarja. 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,” said 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 kohteeseen 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 taistelee, 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.”

Here is what the fighters had to say Saturday from the Lexus Club at STAPLES Center:
DEONTAY WILDER
“Here we go again. The only way for there to be a rematch was for there to be an exciting first fight. When I first met this man in the ring, it was amazing and inspiring to go up against such a skillful fighter. It was such a great experience for me and an honor for me to face him.
“That first fight was a test for me to show me where my skill level was in the heavyweight division. He was the bogeyman in the heavyweight division for a reason. To this day, they still don’t fight him for a reason.
“I’m the best in the world. Olen sanonut ennenkin ja sanon sen taas. I believe in that and I’ve proven that. I’ve proved so many people wrong and I still have to do it. That gives me the motivation and the will to keep going.
“I created a bond with Ortiz fighting the first time because of our daughters. We were two fathers in the ring who had to battle it out for our families. There’s no better feeling than going to war against another gladiator.
“There wasn’t really anything that I learned about myself in the first fight, but it was confirmation of something I had already known. I know what I can do and I believe in myself. I didn’t feel like I was proving anything to myself, it was just proving it to others.
“We’re passionate about this and we want to give the fans the best fight possible. We will do that again because I never leave you without having a great time and giving you excitement. If you’ve never seen a boxing match before, I’m the person to come see. If you want to see excitement, this is the fight to be at. This is the fight to order.
“I’m a true champion. A true champion can walk it like he talks it, and I walk it like I talk it every time. Marraskuun 23 I expect to see everyone there or ordering it on pay-per-view, because I can’t wait.”
LUIS ORTIZ
“I’m very happy to have this opportunity at the rematch. Wilder had the courage to take the rematch and that’s a big part of why this is happening. I’m excited for this fight and I’m going to make the most of it.
“There are no excuses from me. The first fight is over. Now we’re on to this fight. I’m going to get the victory. There are things that are being done differently, but it will all be decided in the ring.
“I’m focused on this fight and only this fight. I’m not a man of many words, but the opportunity is here and it was destined to be. Here we go.
“A warrior doesn’t abandon his mission. My mission is to become world champion. I’ve trained very hard since my loss and it will all culminate on November 23.
“I won’t make the same mistake this time like I made in the last fight. I’m going to be more prepared, more aggressive and have more of everything. I’m taking it all up a level.
“There was no reason for me not winning the first fight, it just is what it is. We knew that one of us was going to get knocked out. I have that same sentiment for the rematch. This fight is not going 12 kierrosta.
“I want November 23 to get here sooner than later. I’m ready to step into the ring and do the job and become heavyweight world champion.”
LEO SANTA CRUZ
“I work hard for every fight and it’s going to be the same for this fight. This opportunity came to fight for the 130-pound title and I’m excited to fight for it. I want to become a four-division world champion.
“I’m going to see how I feel at 130. If I’m strong I definitely feel like I will have more fights there. My goal right now is to win this world title. That’s what I’m focused on.
“I’m very happy and excited to have this opportunity to become a four-division world champion. My goal when I began boxing was just to become a world champion. To go for a fourth time is an even bigger dream.
“Miguel Flores is a tough fighter and I don’t underestimate him. I know it’s going to be a hard fight. He’s going to come with everything he has. It’s the opportunity of his lifetime.
“I’m really motivated like this is my first world title. This is something big for me. It will help me be remembered as one of the best Mexican fighters and that’s my goal.
“Ennenkaikkea, we’re going to give the fans a great show on fight night. To be the co-main event for Deontay Wilder is amazing. He always gives a great show, but my job is to give everyone even more excitement.”
MIGUEL FLORES
“They say you don’t get second chances in life, but I am getting that and I’m very grateful. Everything happens for a reason. This fight was meant to happen and I plan to take full advantage of it.
“Ollessa 130 tai 126 doesn’t make a difference to me when fighting Leo, it’s still the same guy. He started his career at 118 anyway and I’ve had it in my brain for so long about how I’m going to beat him.
“The strategy is to outdo him in anything. Outsmart him, out hustle him and just be able to do it all. He does everything well and he’s a veteran. I know he has tricks under his sleeve, but we need to be ready for that and have something ready to go back at him.
“This is an even bigger stage being the co-main event to the heavyweight championship of the world in Las Vegas. Everything has worked out perfect for me. That wasn’t my mentality when the injury happened, but now it all makes sense.
“I want to be able to be the guy. By beating Leo, I become the guy. It’s both of our jobs to turn everyone into believers. Tämän jälkeen taistelu, everyone is going to know this was a great fight.
“Our focus is on Leo Santa Cruz. Marraskuu 23 is all that’s on my mind. A lot of people don’t know how good my boxing skills are and how crafty I can be in the ring. They’re going to be in for a surprise.”
