“Senator Pacquiao is thrilled to be back in ‘Viva Las Vegas,’ fighting at the best venue for boxing — the MGM Grand Garden Arena. This is where the Pacquiao vs. Thurman world welterweight championship belongs,” said Sean Gibbons, President of MP Promotions. “We’re excited to be working with our partners at PBC, Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions. Manny is fighting in the biggest fights on a global scale and it doesn’t get any more global than FOX Sports Pay-Per-View. Fans have always enjoyed watching Pacquiao and Thurman compete in the ring and we are confident they will, encore une fois, give boxing fans worldwide everything they’re expecting, et de plus. God bless Manny and Keith for stepping up to give us this fight!”
“We’re looking forward to working with our partners in bringing yet another blockbuster back home to MGM Grand here in Las Vegas,” a déclaré Leonard Ellerbe, PDG de Promotions Mayweather. “This fight is a tremendous opportunity for both guys in terms of where they are in their respective careers. Pacquiao is currently the biggest name in the sport and Thurman is a young skilled undefeated fighter in the prime of his career, making for a compelling matchup. I know both fighters will be ready for the challenge that lies ahead of them come July 20, and I can’t wait to see this one go off.”
“This will be a sensational matchup between two great fighters and we’re looking forward to hosting this championship event at MGM Grand in July,” a déclaré Richard Sturm, President of Las Vegas Live Entertainment and Sports. “Fans have always enjoyed watching Pacquiao and Thurman compete in the ring and we are confident they will, encore une fois, give boxing fans worldwide everything they’re expecting, et plus.”
“FOX Sports is thrilled to present our second Premier Boxing Champions Pay-Per-View featuring one of boxing’s biggest stars, Pacquiao, facing the champion Thurman, who wowed nearly three-million viewers live on FOX in January with his latest title defense,” dit Bill Wanger, FOX Sports EVP, Programmation, Live Operations and Research. “This promises to be a can’t miss night of boxing with an unprecedented FOX Sports PBC doubleheader, as we open the evening with the FOX PBC Fight Night, headlined by newly crowned champion Plant defending his title against the undefeated Lee. Plant set the FS1 viewership record for a boxing show in January when he won his title, and we’re sure this match up will deliver even bigger audiences leading into the Pacquiao vs. Thurman Pay-Per-View.”
A three-time Fighter of the Year and the Boxing Writers Association of America’s reigning Fighter of the Decade, Pacquiao (60-7-2, 39 KOs), who hails from Sarangani Province in the Philippines, is the only sitting Congressman and Senator to win a world title. After serving two terms as Congressman, Pacquiao was elected to a Philippine Senate seat in May 2016, capturing over 16 million votes nationally. Pacquiao’s boxing resume features victories over at least seven current and future Hall of Famers, y compris Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales, Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley and Juan Manuel Marquez.
In his last match on January 19, Pacquiao put on a vintage performance against four-division champion Adrien Broner, scoring a 12-round unanimous decision in the 70th match of his illustrious career. It was his first time fighting in the U.S. dans deux ans. Avant ça, he scored an impressive knockout over Lucas Matthysse to win his version of the WBA welterweight championship in Malaysia last July 15.
“All my life I have confronted challenges — dans la vie, in politics, and inside the ring,” Saïd Pacquiao. “Keith Thurman is the type of challenge I crave as a fighter. He is the biggest and best test. That is why I want to fight him. We are going to give boxing fans an exciting fight and a great night.”
The 30-year-old Thurman (29-0, 22 KOs) is the longest reigning welterweight champion in boxing, having collected his WBA title with a stoppage victory over Diego Chaves in 2013. He has successfully defended that title eight times and became a unified welterweight champion when he defeated Danny Garcia by split decision to win the WBC title. Plagued by a litany of injuries, including bone chips in his right elbow that had to be surgically removed, Thurman was out of action for nearly two years before getting back into the ring with a hard fought victory against Josesito Lopez in January on FOX.
Having taken up the sport when he was in grade school, the Clearwater, Florida native blossomed under the tutelage of his first trainer, Ben Getty, to become an outstanding amateur. Though Getty has passed away, Thurman still carries those boxing and life lessons with him whenever he steps into the ring with his current longtime trainer Dan Birmingham. His power punching earned him the nickname “One Time.”
“I’m extremely excited for this opportunity to get a fight that I’ve wanted for a long time,” Saïd Thurman. “The right circumstances have aligned for it to happen now and I’m grateful for that. Me and my team are looking forward to it. It’s going to be an honor to be in the ring with Manny Pacquiao. It’s going to be fun to go back to MGM Grand in my first pay-per-view with FOX Sports. I believe that Ben Getty would be very proud of what I’ve been able to accomplish. He said I’d be able to dominate the welterweight division and be a multi-million-dollar fighter and a star in the sport.
“Manny Pacquiao is beatable. He’s been beaten before in his career. He’s a fan favorite and a legend. For me his boxing tactics are predictable. He fights in spurts and you have to take advantage of that. You have to be respectful of his power. But I believe my movement, athleticism and ring knowledge will be able to present him something he’s not seen in all his years of boxing.”

LAS VEGAS (Mai 21, 2019) – Undefeated IBF Super Middleweight World ChampionCaleb “Sweethands” Usine will make the first defense of his title against unbeaten contenderMike Lee in the main event of FOX PBC Fight Night and on FOX Deportes Saturday, Juillet 20 de la Garden Arena MGM Grand à Las Vegas.
Couverture télévisée commence à 7 p.m. ET / 4 h, heure. PT and will precede the FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View event that also takes place at MGM Grand and is headlined by eight-division champion Manny Pacquiao facing WBA Welterweight World Champion Keith Thurman.
“Caleb Plant put the boxing world on notice with his exciting title-winning performance in January and will look to build on that showing against an unbeaten contender in Mike Lee on July 20,” a déclaré Tom Brown, Président de TGB Promotions. “His first defense of the title will put Plant in primetime on FOX and FOX Deportes in Las Vegas and building up to the Pacquiao vs. Thurman pay-per-view event.

Usine vs. Lee will see two hungry unbeaten fighters square off, as Plant looks to defend his title and cement himself as the class of the 168-pound ranks, while Lee will look to join the super middleweight elite as a world champion for the first time.
To win the title, Usine (18-0, 10 KOs) turned the tables on the hard-hitting Venezuelan slugger Jose Uzcategui in their IBF championship fight in January on FS1. Going into the match the consensus was that Uzcategui was the harder puncher and that Plant would have to withstand his power to walk away with the belt. It was the 26-year-old Plant, cependant, who stunned Uzcategui by dropping him to the canvas twice on the way to a convincing unanimous decision. It was an emotional night for Plant, who is from Ashland City, Tenn. and now lives in Las Vegas. He had dedicated his career-best victory to the memory of his late daughter Alia, who suffered from a rare disorder that caused seizures.
“I’m more than ready to return to the ring on July 20 as the main event on FOX at MGM Grand in Las Vegas,” ladite plante. “I’ll be defending my IBF world title in tremendous fashion and this is one fight you guys will not want to miss. I’m taking this fight just as seriously as my last opponent.
“This guy is undefeated and looking to stay that way, but unfortunately for him, he took on the wrong challenge against the wrong guy. Come July 20, he’ll realize he’s in deeper water than he’s ever been in. My last fight was for Alia, but this fight I’m dedicating to my beautiful mother Beth Ann. May you Rest in Peace, Love you Momma.”
The 31-year-old Lee (21-0, 11 KOs) graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in business, but decided to pursue his boxing dreams rather than take a job on Wall Street. A native of Wheaton, Illinois who now lives in Chicago, Lee has made a steady climb up the ladder and has been campaigning at light heavyweight. He will be moving down to super middleweight to challenge for his first world championship. Lee is coming off an impressive unanimous decision victory over Jose Hernandez on last June 8.
“I’ve have dreamt of the opportunity to fight for a world title for years,” a déclaré Lee. “All the years of hard work, pain and sacrifice have led me to this moment. En Juillet 20 I will be victorious and prove everyone wrong that didn’t believe I was good enough to even get here.
“When I spent almost two years in and out of hospitals battling an autoimmune disease there were moments I never thought I could get back to this level and there were doctors who told me my fighting days were done. But I have won every fight since and I plan to prove that anything is possible if you want it bad enough. I could not have done this without my Dad, my advisor Mike Borao and my trainers Jamal Abdullah and Julian Chua.”
COLORADO SPRINGS, Tour. (Mai 20, 2019) – Team USA légère Keyshawn Davis a été la préparation de toute sa jeune vie pour représenter son pays aux Jeux olympiques. Si tout se passe comme prévu et reste dans les délais prévus, Norfolk, natif de Virginie sera la boxe pour l'or l'année prochaine au Japon.
Les 20 ans Davis, qui arbore un 110-15 record amateur, engrange des médailles à un rythme effréné qu'il a désespérément besoin d'élargir sa vitrine. Il est une élite nationale à deux reprises (2017-18) et deux fois national PAL (2013-14) champion, ainsi qu'une médaille d'or au 2017 Elite Est Qualifier, 2017 Et jeunes ouvrent leurs portes 2017 Golden Gloves nationales.
Internationalement, il a fait des dégâts graves, trop. Le point culminant de sa carrière amateur, à ce jour, est l'or au tournoi de gagner l'an dernier Strandja en Bulgarie. Davis a récemment remporté l'argent à la 2019 Jeux panaméricains Qualifier au Nicaragua, en plus de 2018 Coupe chimie en Allemagne.
“J'ai gagné ma première médaille d'or internationale en Bulgarie,” Davis a accepté qu'il soit le point culminant de sa carrière amateur. “Je suis également choisi comme le plus remarquable Boxer.”
Sa victoire au 2018 USA Nationals lui sont qualifiés pour la 2020 Essais olympiques pour la boxe, tandis que son argent aux Jeux panaméricains Qualifier l'a qualifié pour les Jeux panaméricains (Juillet 27 Août 2) à Lima, Pérou. Cette année, il sera également en compétition aux Championnats du monde des hommes d'élite (Sept. 7-21) à Ekaterinbourg, Russie.
“La qualification pour les essais olympiques était vraiment pas grand-chose d'un accomplissement pour moi car il était prévu,” Davis a noté. “Pour moi, il était d'obtenir le Team USA, encore une fois ce qui est ma deuxième année sur l'équipe.
“Il n'y a pas de concurrence réelle pour moi de me qualifier pour l'équipe olympique de boxe USA. Mon dernier combat au championnat national était un peu un défi (vs. Propriétés Dalis), parce que je glissais et me suis levé.”
Aux Jeux panaméricains, Davis pourrait très bien faire face au boxeur cubain qui l'a battu par un score de 3-2 aux Jeux panaméricains Qualifier, Andy Cruz, la mise en place d'un match de caoutchouc possible entre les deux boxeurs d'élite l'année prochaine aux Jeux olympiques.
“Il y a une très bonne chance nous allons nous battre à nouveau aux Jeux panaméricains, très probablement au Japon, aussi,” Davis a ajouté. “Nous devons gagner deux tours pour se qualifier pour la finale et pour moi de prendre ma revanche. Cruz a beaucoup plus d'expérience internationale que moi. Il est 26 ans et Champion du Monde dans notre catégorie de poids.”
Davis a commencé la boxe quand il avait neuf ans quand, fatigué de Keyshawn et ses deux frères se battre entre eux et à l'école, sa mère a demandé s'ils voulaient aller à la salle de gym pour apprendre à la boîte. Ils l'ont fait et aujourd'hui, son plus (Kelvin) et plus jeune (Keon) frères sont aussi les boxeurs amateurs.
Peu de temps après qu'il a rencontré Troy Isley, qui est un autre membre de l'équipe américaine, et aujourd'hui, ils sont aussi proches que des frères.
“J'ai rencontré Troy retour, après avoir commencé la boxe,” Davis se souvient. “Nous avions rencontrons aux championnats nationaux et d'autres tournois et accrochez ensemble avec mes frères. Mon entraîneur a pris sa retraite, alors je suis allé à la salle de gym de Troy (Alexandrie, Virginie) et a commencé à travailler avec l'entraîneur Kay (Koroma, USA Assistant national entraîneur de boxe). Nous approchons de notre rêve (représentant les États-Unis aux Jeux olympiques) qui a commencé il y a si longtemps qu'il semble irréel à se rapproche. Vous pouvez vous attendre deux boxeurs de la Virginie de revenir du Japon avec des médailles d'or. Nous sommes comme des frères.”
“Coach Kay m'a d'abord acculé quand j'étais 13. Il est un grand entraîneur qui nous veut réussir dans la vie, non seulement dans le ring. Il veut le meilleur pour nous. Nous avons l'un des meilleurs U.S. les équipes de boxe dans un temps long et il va montrer au Japon. Nous aidons toujours les uns les autres, ce qui est un moment très excitant pour nous en ce moment.”
Un autre ami proche de Keyshawn est de, 2018 Médaillé d'argent olympique Stevenson Shakur, qui a été à travers ce Keyshawn approche, et est maintenant au niveau comme une perspective professionnelle dans laquelle Davis aspire à atteindre.
“Shakur m'a toujours soutenu,” Davis a continué. “Nous parlons beaucoup. Honnêtement, il me est difficile de ne pas penser à passer pro, parce que ma carrière amateur sera plus après les Jeux Olympiques. J'ai toujours appris à avoir un plan, donc je me suis préparé, Côté business, regarder dans mes options (gestionnaire et promoteur), et de rester sur la bonne voie des amateurs aux pros.”
S'il n'était pas un boxeur, Davis chiffres qu'il serait un agent immobilier, mais il apprécie bien la vie en tant que boxeur.
“Cela a été une grande expérience,” Davis a parlé de sa carrière de boxe amateur, “surtout cette année se prépare pour la Panam. J'ai eu l'occasion de voyager et de rencontrer des gens, mais la meilleure partie est de faire partie d'une équipe comme celui-ci. La boxe est un sport individuel mais, en dehors du ring, nous poussons toujours difficile pour l'autre.
“Je remercie Dieu tous les jours quand je me lève pour me mettre dans cette position. Tout ce que je veux faire est de fournir pour moi et ma famille. À mon âge, Je suis en avance sur le jeu.”

BROOKLYN (Mai 19, 2019) – WBC World Heavyweight Champion Deontay “Le Bomber Bronze” Wilder délivré le 40e knock-out de sa carrière dans la mode dévastatrice samedi soir, l'envoi de challenger obligatoire Dominic “Difficulté” Breazealeà plat sur le dos avec une marque droite devant une foule bruyante au Barclays Center, la maison de BROOKLYN BOXE ™, dans un événement présenté par Premier Champions de boxe. Avec succès la défense de sa ceinture pour la neuvième fois, Wilder se joint illustre compagnie aux côtés de Hall of Fame Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson et plus et devient le 10e combattant de l'histoire à faire au moins neuf défenses de titre des poids lourds succès consécutifs. Regardez ICI: https://s.sho.com/2Hp0AEh
Dans l'accumulation au combat de championnat du monde de ce soir, Wilder (41-0-1, 40 KOs) a promis à plusieurs reprises que la lutte ne durerait pas longtemps. Le Tuscaloosa dominant, Ala. indigène a tenu sa parole, marquant le 20e KO au premier tour de sa carrière et son 15e effet de choc en tant que champion du monde poids lourd. Breazeale (20-2, 18 KOs) a pu résister à la première attaque au début de Wilder, mais n'a pas pu battre l'arbitre de 10 comptes de Harvey Dock lorsque Wilder connecté au ras plus tard la main droite le plus dangereux de la boxe dans l'ouverture ronde.
“Tout vient de moi ce soir”, Saïd Wilder. “Je sais que ça a été une grande accumulation, il y a eu beaucoup d'animosité et beaucoup de mots qui ont été dit et il vient de sortir de moi ce soir. Ce qui fait de la boxe si grand.
“Je viens de dire que je l'aime Breazeale et bien sûr, je veux le voir rentrer à la maison à sa famille. Je sais que nous disons des choses, but when you can fight a man and then you can hug him and kiss him, I wish the world was like that. We shake hands and we live to see another day and that’s what it’s all about.”
As the attention of the heavyweight division turns to what’s next, Wilder insists that a fight with Tyson Fury, the only man he has faced and not defeated, or Anthony Joshua remains on the table and in the works.
“I understand what Fury did,” Saïd Wilder. “When you get dropped on the canvas like that I understand you have to get yourself back together. But the rematch will happen, like all these other fights will happen. The great thing is all these fights rare in discussion. The big fights will happen. I just want you to have patience.”
Breazeale, whose only two defeats have now come against both Wilder and Joshua, was disappointed he wasn’t allowed to continue the fight.
“I think the ref stopped it a little early because I could hear him saying seven and eight, but that’s boxing,” Saïd Breazeale. “He did his job and kept us safe for our next fight.
“I got on my feet and had my legs under me. It’s the heavyweight division so there’s going to big shots from guys with power. This was a situation where he landed the big right hand before I did. I thought I was going to come on in the later rounds. I’ll be back and go for the heavyweight title again.”
Dans la co-métrage, WBC Champion du monde poids plume Gary Russell Jr. (30-1, 18 KOs) put on yet another professional display to defend his belt for the fourth time against a valiantKiko Martinez (39-9-2, 28 KOs). Due to a gash that opened up over Martinez’s left eye, referee Ricky Gonzalez stopped the fight in the fifth round upon the advice of the ringside physician, resulting in a technical knockout.
Russell, who was fighting for the first time in a year, showed no signs of ring rust and displayed his full skillset including his trademark lightning quick hands. The 30-year-old Capitol Heights, Md. native was dominant from the opening bell and landed on a remarkable 40% de ses coups de puissance. In an all-action fight with little downtime, Martinez did more than enough to play his part. The Spaniard constantly came forward but Russell continued to target the cut that opened up over his eye after a right hook in the second round. The ringside official called for the stoppage of the fight at 2:52 of round number five.
“I did pretty good,” dit le 2008 U.S.. Olympian Russell to SHOWTIME ringside reporter Jim Gray. “We stayed behind the jab and he couldn’t get past it. We knew that intellect over athleticism would get it done.
“We want [WBA champion poids plume] Leo Santa Cruz,” Russell continued while wearing a shirt that read ‘Leo Next’. “We want to make this fight happen. The fire is all the way hot on this side of the field. You will get burned. I would love for that fight to happen this year. Let’s make it happen.”
“It was a good stoppage for a very tough fight,” said the former world champion Martinez. “I’m definitely a visual fighter so the cut made it tough. Gary was in great physical condition and it was a very hard fight.
“I’m going to rest a little bit now, but I’ll be back. I thought I had some good moments and had a good division. I think I’ll drop back down to 122-pounds to win a world title there.”
Dans l'ouvreur télédiffusé, invaincu perspective Juan Heraldez (16-0-1, 10 KOs) et ancien champion du monde Argenis Mendez (25-5-2, 12 KOs) fought to a highly competitive majority draw. Deux juges ont marqué le combat 95-95, while a third had Mendez winning 97-93.
Fighting in front of his mentor Floyd Mayweather, Las Vegas’ Heraldez controlled many of the early rounds by setting the pace and establishing his jab. Heraldez outlanded Mendez 126-108 in total punches and 70-30 in jabs throughout the 10 tours. Falling behind early, Mendez, a seasoned veteran and 2004 Dominican Republic Olympian, used his experience to grow back into the fight. The tempo picked up in the fifth round, as both fighters landed several heavy blows but the momentum shifted towards Mendez. The 32-year-old Mendez, who has fought seven current or former champions, closed out the fight exceptionally strong, winning the final round on all three judges’ tableaux de bord. Without doing so, Mendez would have lost the fight.
“Je pensais que je gagné le combat,” said a disappointed Mendez. “He didn’t do anything to me. How did he win the fight? If I have to prove I beat him in a rematch, Je serai prêt. I won’t leave it up to the judges.
“My speed and my power made it difficult for him. I thought my counterpunching was really good. He tired toward the later rounds and that let me get a little closer to him to get my offense going.”
De même, Heraldez thought he did enough to win the fight which he viewed as a potential coming out party.
“I thought I won a close decision,” Heraldez said. “I didn’t think it was a draw. He didn’t do anything that hurt me at any point.
“He wasn’t really engaging with me. He was just trying to move around and pick his shots, but it wasn’t anything I wasn’t ready for. I’ll either take the rematch with Mendez or move forward toward my goal of a world title.”
Preceding the telecast, SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN featured three undercard attractions streamed live on the SHOWTIME Sports social platforms.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Barclays Center:
Deontay Wilder
“These fighters always get into great shape and think they have the game plan to beat me. They think they’re going to catch me. It’s not going to work. Nothing this guy has prepared for is going to work.
“I hope he brings the best he can bring. This is more than just a boxing match. I’m passionate about what I do. This has been a long time coming for me and Dominic. He asked for this, and he shall receive.
“It’s going to be an amazing night for me, and a sad night for him. Being heavyweight champion is a big responsibility. Not everyone is made to be a champion. It’s more than being glamorous or carrying around this prestigious belt.
“I’ve trained harder than I’ve ever trained. He’s got me inspired like I was against Bermane Stiverne. I want to hurt Breazeale so bad. I’m going to keep my composure until that time comes Saturday night.
“I don’t believe Breazeale when he speaks. I’ve been in this game for a very long time. Someone like him is not going to beat me. The closest he’s going to get to this belt is in his dreams.
“My whole team has been with me since day one. We started together and we’re going to go all the way together. It’s been an amazing run for me. I started my career at the very bottom and worked all the way to this point.
“We never rushed anything. Even in the Olympics, I was still learning on the job. We trained to be a long term champion, not a short term champion, and we accomplished that. I’m appreciative for how far I’ve come and for everything that’s come with it. Hard work pays off.
“My actions are going to speak louder than my words. I am the best. I am the chosen one. Il peut dire ce qu'il veut. It’s going to be a great fight for as long as it lasts. I’m going to bring the pain. samedi soir, everyone is in for a treat.”
DOMINIC Breazeale
“Je suis super excité pour ce combat. Virgil Hunter and myself had a great camp. It was truly one of the best of my life. I’m mentally focused and physically right.
“I’m excited to be back and get another knockout win. Getting that WBC belt is everything to me. This is my Super Bowl.
“Victory for me on Saturday is everything. Wilder doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into. He’s in for a fight. He better be confident in his abilities, because Saturday night, he’s going to be in the toughest fight of his life.
“I’m going to beat Deontay so bad that he’s not going to ever want to lace up the gloves again. Sports are 80% mental. Quand je suis fait avec lui, the mental aspect is going to be beat out of him.
“I’m going to put on another explosive performance. I’ve been dreaming for the last year about hearing ‘and the new.’ It’s a beautiful thing and I can’t wait to make it come true and have my hand raised.
“Wilder hasn’t developed at all during his career. He looks the same as he did in the amateurs. He needs to talk himself up to make himself feel confident.
“I’m too mentally in-tune to be focused on what someone says. When I go into a fight I don’t worry about what my opponent can do, but about what I want to do and how I can execute.
“None of Deontay’s words affect me at all. He’s going to keep barking and I’m just going to keep waiting. I’m going to quiet him down on Saturday night.”
GARY RUSSELL JR.
“I’m hungry and ready. Anyone that I step in the ring with is standing in the way of my goals. Anyone trying to stop me, is in a dangerous position.
“We’re going to try to control the pace of the fight with my jab. I don’t think he’s going to get past the jab. He’s going to try to get rough and physical. My plan is to make the adjustments that I need to get this win.
“It’s always a family affair with the Russells. We move as a unit and we excel as a unit. My family is where I pull all my energy from. It’s never a distraction. They give me the fuel I need.
“In boxing you need to have full trust and belief in your coach. I couldn’t imagine a better fit than having my dad. Even if he gives instructions that might not be 100% right in my eyes, I know that it’s going to be the best thing for me.
“No one in this division wants to step in the ring with me. They know the speed and power and abilities that I bring every time I step into the ring.
“Deontay and I were on the same Olympic team, plus Dominic and my little brother Gary Antuanne Russell were also U.S. Olympiens. It makes for an amazing card on Saturday night.”
KIKO MARTINEZ
“I come to fight and get that title. I had a very smooth training camp and feel 100 percent physically.
“I think my experience is superior. He thinks I’m only a pressure fighter, but he hasn’t seen me box the way I’m going to box him on Saturday.
“This is the biggest opportunity of my life. To be on this platform and be able to fight for the championship is very special. Je vais en profiter au maximum.
“I hope that Russell doesn’t take me lightly because I still have a lot of abilities left. It’s going to be a great fight for as long as it lasts.”
JUAN HERALDEZ
“Camp went great and I can’t wait to put on a show. I’m going to let everyone in this division know that I’m coming for them. I’m going to seize the moment and take full advantage of it.
“I feel strong and I’m ready to fight. I’m just counting down the minutes until I can step into the ring. It’s a lot of excitement and I’m going to let it all out Saturday.
“I plan to win in spectacular fashion on Saturday. I’m going to show everyone that I’m a player at 140-pounds and I’m ready for anyone they can put in front of me.
“I’m not planning to get hit. I’m going to out box him and stick and move. He’s not going to be able to touch me. If the opportunity for a knockout comes, I’ll take it.”
Argenis Mendez
“Je suis très excité pour cette opportunité. I had a great training camp and on Saturday night you’re going to see a show at Barclays Center.
“I love boxing and I love this opportunity that I have on Saturday night. I’m going to show my passion for the sport during this fight. I feel great physically and just cannot wait to get into the ring.
“A win on Saturday night opens the door for me. People are going to start seeing me as one of the best fighters from the Dominican Republic.
“Ça va être un bon combat. I have the speed and skills to out box him. We’re both very smart fighters. I believe I’m the better fighter and it will show on Saturday night.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Sports and Event Programming, Showtime Networks Inc.
“The heavyweight division is exciting again and a lot of that has to do with Deontay Wilder. It’s also been helped by SHOWTIME and our commitment to the division. No other network has been more committed or invested more in the heavyweights than SHOWTIME has and we’re proud of that.
“We’re also proud that several of the fighters on this card have fought frequently on SHOWTIME. Deontay will make his 12eappearance and Gary will make his 11th. Wilder, Russell and Dominic all launched their careers on ShoBox, like so many other great fighters.
“When you get two guys together for a long-awaited grudge match, there’s not a lot that needs to be said. Deontay is the longest-reigning heavyweight champion in the sport. This would be the ninth defense for him, which is something that only nine other heavyweights have done in boxing history.
“Deonay had two of the most exciting heavyweight fights in recent history last year. As for Dominic, he’s a big strong experienced guy who’s been on the world stage before. He has fought for a world title and he’s coming off of three consecutive wins. He has plenty of power and we saw that in his last fight against Carlos Negron that he can change the fight in one punch.”
BRETT YORMARK, PDG de l'ESB mondial
“The heavyweight division has been the talk of the sports world for months, and it’s fitting that the world champion will defend his title right here in Brooklyn in one of the biggest fights in the sport this year.
“Deontay, I’ve said for a long time that this is your home away from home and we can’t wait to have you back. You have a big opponent this week in Dominic Breazeale. Dominic you’ve already made two appearances in our ring and we know the fans are looking forward to another great show.”

(L-R) – Jose Antonio Rivera, current WBC Youth super lightweight champion Jermaine Ortiz (11-0, 6 KOs) and Carlos Garcia
WORCESTER, MASS (Mai 16, 2019) – Trois fois, champion du monde de deux-division “Le Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera is dedicating his 50e combat pro, the last in his hometown of Worcester, to the Boys & Girls Club in Worcester, Massachusetts. A portion of the proceeds from “Quest For 50,” présenté par Shearns Boxing Promotions (SBP) et Rivera Promotions Divertissement, will benefit the Boys & Girls club.
The 46-year-old Rivera (42-6-1, 25 KOs) faces former WFC championTravis “Sweet Feet” Scott (19-5, 5 KOs), of Baton Rouge, Louisiane, in the eight-round main event at The Palladium in Worcester.
Rivera, a full-time court officer in Worcester, has had a special relationship for more than 30 years with the Worcester Boys & Girls Club and its director of boxing, Carlos Garcia, qui est “The Godfather of Worcester Boxing.”
Rivera moved to Worcester from Springfield 30 il y a des années à l'âge de 16 to pursue a boxing career, which included being coached by Garcia. Rivera had siblings and other relatives living in Worcester and after living with an aunt for a month, Jose moved into an apartment with another boxer, four-time national amateur championBobby Harris.
“The Worcester Boys & Girls Club helped me stay off the streets so I could focus on my dream of becoming world champion,” Rivera remembered. “It was a place for me and so many others to go and be safe. Des gamins, not just boxers, can be kids there, where they don’t have to worry about what’s happening in the streets.
“Carlos has played a tremendous part of my life and so many others, influencing us not only to become good boxers, but to be good people in the community. That was always so important to him and he emphasized being a good person. Je ai fait de mon mieux. He was always fair across the board and gave us all opportunities. He took a liking to me and brags that he never had to throw me out of the Boys & Girls club. I graduated from high school and went after my dream in 1992 when I turned pro. Carlos is big in amateur boxing, but not so much with pros, because he doesn’t have the time to train pros. I made sure that when turned pro, dure, that he was part of my team. And he’s still a big part of my team and life.”
The number of Worcester youths Garcia has had a positive effect on, life-changing in many respects, is countless. One of those many people is Jose’s longtime friend and his current head trainer, Fitzgerald Sean, who retired as a boxer in 2001 avec un 29-2-2 enregistrement pro. “Fitzy” remembers the fir time he read the sign over the door in the gym at the Boys & Girls club: “Better to seat than bleed.”
Fitzy lived with his father when his parents divorced and at the age of 10, his father sent him to the Boys & Girls Club to attend an after-school program. “Fitzy” said he had to earn his way into Garcia’s good graces.
“Carlos didn’t talk to me for the first 5-6 semaines,” Fitzgerald explained. “Puis, he put me in the ring as a sparring partner, and I was badly beaten. I had a bloody nose and black eye, but the next day I came back, Et le reste est de l'histoire. Carlos was a great mentor, rough at times, but always there for you. I remember seeing the boxing team jackets. It intrigued me. When I got my jacket and started wearing it, I got respect from everybody, and then I knew that I belonged. I learned a lot about life at the Boys & Girls club, being with there with people from different generations and cultures. I met many friends there who I never would have met.
“The Boys & Girls Club is safe. I was from a tough area in Worcester. My father worked and it was easy to get in trouble with no supervision. Carlos stayed on top of me to graduate from school and if I was home sick, he come buy with chicken soup to make sure I was alright. My father was in my life big-time, but I joke that I had two moms growing up, my father and Carlos. Going to the Boys & Girls Club was something to look forward to every day.
“Carlos always taught us to never make the mistakes he did in life. He wanted us to go to school, stay out of trouble, and be a good person. He’s helped so many people over the years. Look around Worcester and you’ll see them: police and court officers, fire fighters, and so many others. The Boys & Girls Club was a great experience for me and so many other kids from Worcester.”
(L-R) – Ray Semidei, Carlos Garcia and Jose Antonio Rivera
Garcia has been the director of boxing at the Worcester Boys & Girls Club since 1982. Two year ago, Garcia was inductred into the National Golden Gloves Hall of Fame.
“Never in his life has Jose even raised his voice to me,” Garcia commented. “He treats me like his father and he’s like one of my sons. There aren’t not too many guys like him and he’s so well respected in the community. He came to Worcester from Springfield to train with ne and stayed with me. Jose helps everyone and now he’s promoting to help local boxers.
“We’re at the Boys & Girls Club to and that’s the way it really is here. It’s so good to see so many in this community who’ve gone through our boxing program and are good people, good husbands, good parents. It makes me feel so proud. ‘Fitzy’ was a hyper kid. He’s a real gentleman who now does so much for kids here. I’ve never had a signed contract with any of the pro boxers I’ve worked with because I trust them.”
