Tickets voor het evenement, which is promoted by Warriors Boxing and TGB Promotions, zijn nu te koop, and can be purchased at the Armory at http://ArmoryMN.com/ en via Ticketmaster.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from the Generals Hall at The Armory:

PETER Quillin

I’m here to put on a great fight. That’s what we worked so hard to do on Saturday night. I’m excited to showcase my talents on FS1 and FOX Deportes and make a statement at super middleweight.

My wife just had a daughter, and that’s been my biggest motivation all training camp. I’m fighting for my family, not just myself. I’m hoping to inspire people who see my story and realize it’s not just about the fight, but about what we’re fighting for. I’m here to spread a positive message.

“Als we in die ring zijn, all I’m going to see is Caleb Truax, nothing else matters. I’m very fortunate to be here and have the chance to display my skills. He has to look good in front of his fans, and I’m just here to give the fans a good fight. There’s no pressure to do anything extra.

The weather here kind of reminds me of back home in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Going to new cities is kind of like having new places to conquer. I’m here with the right mindset that Minnesota is going to be a place I’m remembered and that I’ll have a great memory from.

When I sparred Caleb I remember I knocked his headgear off and it flew across the ring, that’s the only thing I really remember from that. I knew our paths could eventually cross. I’ve had my eye on him and I was really happy for him when he won his title. I have a feeling we’re going to combine for a great fight.

I have a very determined opponent and I’m fighting in his backyard. It’s a tough fight for both of us. I have to put my authority down on this fight and control it. It’s going to be hard with all his fans in there, but what I’ve always done is take negative circumstances, and turn them into positives.

CALEB Truax

I’m excited for Saturday night. It’s a big fight and important for me that I’m in the main event and in a title eliminator. I’m looking to earn a chance at another title and I know that I have to take care of business on Saturday to get there.

I’m looking forward to sharing the ring with Peter Quillin, a guy I’ve known and respected for a while. He’s accomplished a lot. I think that our styles are really going to clash and give the fans a lot of action and drama.

Peter and I sparred a long time ago, terug in 2012. I came away feeling confident that if we ever fought, I’d be able to get the job done. I don’t remember much of the specifics, but I felt confident from the experience. Op hetzelfde moment, I’m expecting an even better Peter Quillin on Saturday night and that’s what I trained for.

I’ve tried to train a little bit smarter for this one. I need to focus more on recovery at this point in my career. I’ve had pretty much the same team around me for a while now. We do the old school training and work hard every day.

The stakes are high for this fight. Whoever wins hopefully gets a crack at the title. It’s going to be tough for the loser to bounce back. If I want to keep fighting I have to leave Saturday with my hand raised.

It’s a thrill to be in this fight and have it here at The Armory in front of my hometown fans. I saw the support that (fellow Minnesota-native) Jamal James got for his last fight, and I’m expecting more of that on Saturday. It’s going to be special and I’m going to take advantage.

SERGIY DEREVYANCHENKO

I’m happy to be here for this world title elimination fight. This fight is important for my career to get back to where I want to go and to show what I am capable of.

On Saturday night I’m going to put on a really good show and give the fans a beautiful fight. Everyone knows I always bring action and great technical skill. I am confident that I will be victorious on Saturday and go on to win a world championship.

JACK CULCAY

It’s nice to be here and I’m very thankful for this opportunity against Derevyanchenko. It’s a great honor for me to be in this fight against one of the best middleweights in the world. This the step that I was looking to take in my career.

I’ve been sparring with Caleb Truax, and I feel it’s gotten me completely ready for this challenge. I’m going to show it in the ring on Saturday night. It’s going to be a lot of action and a lot of skill in the ring.

JOEY SPENCER

I’m really excited to be fighting on this card headlined by Peter Quillin and Caleb Truax. I want to thank everyone for the support, both my fans and my team for everything that’s gotten me here. We’ve worked really hard every day in training camp and I can’t wait to put on a show.

The Armory is a great venue with great energy. I’ve fought here before and I’m looking forward to coming out and putting on another great performance for this Minneapolis crowd.

LEON Margules, President van Warriors Boksen

I’m excited to welcome everyone back to the latest PBC fight night at the armory. Those who have come to the previous shows have noticed that the crowds have gotten larger and larger. These shows are generating great excitement and Saturday is another example of a card loaded with elite fighters.

It’s really a terrific treat to be promoting this card. It should be a great night of boxing for everyone at The Armory and watching on FS1 or FOX Deportes. This card is stacked from top to bottom and is set to deliver from start to finish.

Het gaat niet alleen om winnen, maar het is de manier waarop ik zal winnen, zal mensen op de hoogte brengen.”

Booker (14-0, 7 KO) komt uit een unanieme beslissing overwinning over Juan De Angel in januari op FS1. De 27-jarige linkshandige uit Stamford, Conn., was bezig in 2018, gaand 5-0 met drie knock-outs.

“Ik verwacht van mezelf dat ik het beste aan doe prestaties die ik heb gehad in de boksperiode – amateur of pro,” Said Booker. “Ik wil elke vaardigheid die ik heb laten zien, niet alleen bruut kracht. Ik wil mensen laten zien dat ik kampioenschapskaliber ben. Waar ik van zie hij is dat hij een game fighter is en komt vechten. Hij komt graag naar voren. Hij gaat proberen het bij mij te brengen. Maar ik kan veel dingen doen, doos gaan vooruit, achteruit, zijwaarts, of alles wat nodig is om deze overwinning te behalen.”

De 33-jarige Omotoso (27-3, 21 KO) is een veteraan met een harde neus die zal Booker zijn zwaarste test tot nu toe presenteren.

Hij belt zichzelf “Geluksvogel” want hij voelt zich gelukkig te hebben gemaakt het van de straat af en word een succesvolle professionele bokser. Nu training in Los Angeles, Omotoso versloeg Freddy Hernandez voor het laatst in december 2017.

“Ik kreeg de oproep om tegen een jongen te vechten, ongeslagen vechter in Booker en ik zei: kom maar op,” zei Omotoso. “Ik ben echt blij dat hij de strijd aanging omdat de meeste mensen zeggen dat ik te gevaarlijk ben en ook moeilijk. Ik zal alles geven wat ik heb. Als ik naar de ring ga, doe ik al mijn moeite en training in de strijd. Dat is de manier waarop deze sport is. Ik weet dat hij dat gaat doen kom binnen met alles wat hij heeft, maar de sterkste zal winnen.”

Stanionis (8-0, 5 KO) komt uit Kaunas, Litouwen en was lid van de 2016 Litouws Olympisch boksteam.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (April 5, 2019) – Before she arrived in New York Thursday for the final part of her training camp, WBO middengewicht wereldkampioen Christina Hammershared her thoughts on her showdown for the Undisputed Middleweight Championship against WBA, WBC and IBF Middleweight Champion Claressa Shields Zaterdag april 13 live on SHOWTIME from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J.

Germany’s Hammer has held a middleweight world title since 2010, defending it numerous times including in her U.S. debut last June on SHOWTIME in which she defeated Tori Nelson. Now she looks to stamp her name in the history books in this matchup against Shields that many are calling the most significant fight in women’s boxing history.

Tickets voor de live-evenement, die wordt bevorderd door Salita Promotions, zijn geprijsd op $150, $100, $55 en $35 and can be purchased through Ticketmaster and atboardwalkhall.com.

Here are highlights of what Hammer had to say as we head into fight week for this historic event:

How excited are you about fighting in the U.S.?

Christina Hammer: I’m really excited about it because this is a very big fight. I can’t wait to get there, step into the ring and put on a great performance.

Wat betekent deze strijd voor u betekenen?

CH: This is going to be the biggest women’s fight in history. We zijn allebei kampioenen, she has Olympic gold medals and other accolades, so with all of that combined, it’s going to be a game changer for our sport.

What do you need to do to win?

CH: “I’m a long time champion and I know what to do in the ring. I know I have the skills to beat her. I have great foot work and my goal is to beat her badly.

What do you think of Claressa inside and outside of the ring?

CH: Claressa has obviously accomplished a lot going back to the Olympics. This is a big step for her and I think it’s going to be a challenge for her. As a person, she’s just my opponent, that’s all.

Can you describe your style of fighting and what fans can expect on April 13?

CH: “I’m tall for my division so I use my reach. I have great footwork and technique and power and I want to show off all those skills. I’m going to show that Christina Hammer is a great champion. I like to play with my opponent, and when the moment is right, I beat her down.

Can you talk about your experiences as a fashion model and why that’s important to you?

CH: I like modeling because it’s a different part of me. You can be more feminine and athletic. I did my first shoot three years ago and I had never done anything like that. I’ve worked on my skills there too.

To be a model is an easy job, it just gives me confidence. Being a fighter is hard. You have to give everything, because in the ring you can’t run away. You have to fight and defeat someone.

Would you ever want to compete in another sport?

CH: “Ik weet het niet. Boxing is the best sport to me. It’s my passion. I give everything to the sport and my dream now is to be successful in America.

Is there anyone in boxing history you’d have loved to fight?

CH: Laila Ali was a great champion and If I fought her that would be a great fight.

Do you see women’s boxing as a sport on the rise?

CH: “Ja, it’s really grown in recent years. There are more fights on big platforms for us and I think this is just the start.

Would you recommend for other women to go into boxing?

CH: Boxing is a great sport. You need technique, intelligence and it makes you feel more confident. If something happens, you can take care of yourself. It’s the best workout and I suggest it to everyone.

LOS ANGELES (April 4, 2019) – All-action welterweight Adrian Granados een

Here is what the workout participants had to say Thursday from Fortune Gym in Los Angeles:

ADRIAN GRANADOS

“Ik voel me geweldig. I’m starting to peak and everything is clicking. I had a great camp and I’m just excited for this fight.

This is a great style matchup. Danny is a strong puncher and a great counter puncher. Ik kom er zo aan. I’m going to come with it. I also have a lot of intangibles that people don’t see. I’m not one-dimensional and I have a few tricks up my sleeve.

I think I have more dog in me than Danny does. He complains a lot and also gets away with a lot. He does what he has to do to win. I’ve never been given anything and I think I have a lot more to prove than he does.

My fights against Shawn Porter and Adrien Broner were good preparation for this. I think against Broner I should have gotten the decision, but I didn’t. Against Porter, I fought the wrong fight and missed the chance I did have. I’ve got a chip on my shoulder from both experiences.

This is my chance to show the boxing world that I’m elite and get my title shot. I’ve always wanted to become a world champion, and I haven’t got my opportunity at 140 where I beat the number-one contender. I’m not afraid to fight anyone so I’m here to get a big win.

I think I need a stoppage or a dominating win. It has to be one-sided. I have enough controversial losses that I know that I can’t leave it up to the judges. I’m training hard to dominate the fight.

I’m kind of a ‘young vetbecause I’m only 29-years-old but I’m battle-tested. I was never promoted until the last three or four years. I’ve had to do what I had to coming up. I took the tough fights that most prospects wouldn’t.

I always knew I had the talent to be at this level and I’m glad that I’m respected and recognized now, but it’s time for me to get a big win. I’m going to show that I really belong and I’m an elite fighter.

ANDY RUIZ JR.

All the hard work in the gym has been paying off and I feel prepared for April 20. I’m facing an experienced guy who’s tall, but I think my pressure and my speed will make it difficult for him.

We’ve looked at Dimitrenko’s past fights and put together a game plan. We’re going to stick to it and execute. We’re going to attack the body and I think with my speed and combinations I’m going to get him out of there.

I’m coming back from a layoff but it’s over and right now my goal is to make a statement and let everyone know that I’m back in action. I’m ready to take one of the spots at the top of the division.

There are a lot of big fights I want, but my mind is totally focused on April 20. I’ve never been this motivated. I’m going to be fighting more often and I’m glad to have the opportunity.

Fighting for the Mexican fans gives me more motivation now than ever. I want to be the first Mexican heavyweight champion of the world and hopefully this year or next year I will accomplish those dreams.

I have everything I need now to get to where I want to go. This is just the beginning. The more fights I have, the better I’m going to be looking.

It feels great to be fighting in Southern California and I know there will be a lot of Mexicans out there on April 20. It’s always a great atmosphere and my game plan is to steal the show. I’m going to give it all I got for the fans.

I think Dimitrenko is going to use his jab and move around. Hij is lang, but he can’t run away forever. At some point you have to be there toe-to-toe. We’ve worked on our head movement and we’re going to be ready for anything he brings.

TOM BROWN, President van TGB Promotions

“Andy Ruiz Jr. is exactly where he should be right now. He’s re-dedicated himself to the sport of boxing and when he does, there might not be a better heavyweight out there. He traveled to New Zealand and took on Joseph Parker in his backyard and lost a majority decision. He’s tasted it and he’s hungry for it again.

Arguably Adrian Granados could have a record of 27-1 and he’s ready for his moment to shine. I like where he’s at mentally as far as taking charge and winning these fights so he can move on and become a champion, which has been his goal since he got into the game.

MIAMI(April 4, 2019) – WBA, WBC and IBF Middleweight World ChampionClaressa Shieldshosted a media workout at 5th Street Gym in Miami Thursday as she nears her showdown against WBO Middleweight World ChampionChristina Hammer for the undisputed middleweight world championship Saturday April 13 live on SHOWTIME from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J.

Shields has been training in Florida for the last week with her trainer John David Jackson, after spending the previous five weeks at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado. Here is what Shields had to say Thursday:


 
Claressa SHIELDS


 
“Christina doesn’t know what’s coming for her. I’m going to break that Hammer in half.


 
“When we’re in there, it’s about who punches harder. Dit is een echt gevecht. Just because she has height, doesn’t mean she’s going to dictate what happens. She’s going to have to do a lot to keep me off of her.


 
“I have two Olympic Gold Medals, three belts and more coming. I’ll have all the titles at the end of the night on April 13.


 
“I work hard, really hard. If I was a man, I would probably be one of the most famous boxers out there. There is a gender gap. We all know it. I’m working towards changing that. We work hard, we get less money and less recognition, but the world is changing. We are changing it.


 
“Hammer has been talking smack but I’m not worried about her. I’m just ready for a fight. She talks about a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with boxing. I’m waiting for her to say she’s going to hit me with an uppercut or something, but it’s more of the same.


 
“Being here in Florida to finish up camp has really been ideal. I’ve still been working extremely hard, but here I have a little extra space and sunshine. It was time for some new scenery in camp and I think this was the perfect move to take me into fight week.


 
“I’ve been working on my ‘Ali shuffle,’ this gym inspired me. Don’t be surprised if you see me break it out during the fight. I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve. At the press conference there will be some surprises too — I have an outfit picked that is going to steal the show.”


 
“This fight is long overdue and I’m just glad I’m going to get my chance to show her what a real champion is. Someone is going down on April 13 and I promise it’s not going to be me.


 
“People can say they’re not paying attention to you and not studying you, but they’re lying. I’m glad she’s looking at me closely though. Hammer flew one of my friends out there to be a sparring partner, not even knowing that she hasn’t sparred me in years and knows nothing about me. It makes me know I’m on her mind. She can spar with Ann Wolfe and she still isn’t going to beat me.”

Ray Robinson” Ik heb dat gevecht gewonnen. Ik ben de laatste die Crawford heeft verslagen. Ik verdien een titel shot tegen hem”


NEW YORK (April 4, 2019)–Weltergewicht mededinger, Ray Robinson is van mening dat hij de beslissing had moeten verdienen in zijn gevecht met WBO nummer één gerangschikt Egidijus Kavaliauskas in een gevecht dat afgelopen zaterdag live te zien was op ESPN om 2300 Arena in Philadelphia.


Robinson van Philadelphia en Kavaliauskas streden om een ​​gelijkspel met de meerderheid in een gevecht waarin Robinson blijk gaf van groot ringgeneraalschap en het tempo van het gevecht dicteerde..

“Dit is waarom ik verliefd werd op boksen. Om te raken en niet geraakt te worden, Ik heb een boksles gegeven,” zei Robinson.

“Ik heb het gevoel dat ik hem compenseer. Ik was sneller en de zijwaartse beweging bracht hem in de war. Ik frustreerde hem. Ik luisterde gewoon naar mijn coaches en gooide hem weg. Ik had een vol kamp, en het was te zien in mijn prestaties toen ik het gevoel had dat ik domineerde,” vervolgde Robinson, die één scorekaart heeft gewonnen door a 97-93 kloppen, terwijl twee anderen zelfs bij waren 95-95.

Kavaliauskas is genoemd voor een kans om te vechten tegen de ongeslagen WBO-kampioen Terence Crawford, maar met zijn prestaties, Robinson zou graag in de ring stappen met de inwoner van Nebraska, zoals hij liet zien, is hij niet alleen een waardige vechter, maar hij ook, Robinson heeft een overwinning op de consensus pond-voor-pond vechter in de amateur-gelederen. Robinson voelt dat hij dat resultaat zou herhalen in de profs, met een kans bij Crawford.

“Ik denk dat ik dat schot nu verdien. Ik ben de laatste die Terence Crawford heeft verslagen bij de amateurs. De fans zouden het willen zien, en ik weet zeker dat hij het zou willen. Als ik het was, Ik zou willen vechten tegen de laatste persoon die me heeft verslagen. Zo niet Crawford, Ik vind dat ik het verdien om te concurreren met de beste welterweights die er zijn. Jongens zoals Thurman, Slijtage, Spence, Sadam Ali, Kell Brook, Adrien Broner. Elk van hen. Ik ben een promotievrije agent, dus het zal niet moeilijk zijn om met een van hen een deal te sluiten”


Ray Robinson vertelt Kavaliauskas gelijkspel
