MINNEAPOLIS (Februarie 21, 2019) – Former world champions will go toe-to-toe as Peter “Ciocolata Kid” Quillin faces Minnesota-native Caleb “De aur” Truax in a 12-round IBF super middleweight title eliminator that headlines Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes Saturday, Aprilie 13 from The Armory in Minneapolis.

Biletele pentru eveniment, which is promoted by Warriors Boxing and TGB Promotions, go on sale Saturday, Februarie 23, and can be purchased at the Armory athttp://ArmoryMN.com/ și prin Ticketmaster.

“Quillin vs. Truax is a true 50-50 matchup of former world champions looking to put themselves in position to grab another world title,” a spus Leon Margules, Președintele Warriors Box. “Truax will have the hometown crowd in Minnesota behind him, but Quillin has fought at the highest level against top competition for years. It has all the makings of a dramatic fight, and combined with the Derevyanchenko vs. Culcay middleweight eliminator, it’s going to make for an action packed night at the Armory and on FS1 and FOX Deportes.”

“Both of these are fantastic matchups because there are championship implications on the line,” spuse Tom Brown, Președintele TGB Promoții. “That adds to the motivation for each of the guys stepping into the ring. For Qullin and Truax, they both know what it means to be a world champion and this is their opportunity to return to that status. There is always a lot of energy in the Armory for these types of matches and that really carries over to the FS1 and FOX Deportes broadcast for those watching at home. It promises to be a very entertaining evening for all boxing fans.”

A former middleweight champion, Quillin (34-1-1, 23 KO) delivered in his second bout at super middleweight, defeating J’Leon Love last August by unanimous decision. Born in Chicago and raised Michigan, Quillin has called Brooklyn, N.Y.. home throughout a pro career that saw him win a world title against Hassan N’Dam in 2012 and defend it three times. His only loss came to Daniel Jacobs in 2015 after battling former champion Andy Lee to a draw earlier that year.

“I’m approaching this fight very seriously because I know Truax is a durable guy who knows how to fight,” Said Quillin. “He comes from a background where people don’t give him credit for what he’s done, and those are the most dangerous guys. I’m no stranger to fighting in my opponent’s backyard. My job is to go into the ring and go home with the win. I’m looking to walk away with some of his fans on my side by winning the fight and putting on a great performance.”

Fighting out of Osseo, Minnesota, Truax (30-4-2, 19 KO) pulled off one of 2017’s biggest upsets when he traveled to London to defeat James DeGale and become a 168-pound world champion. The 35-year-old lost a hard-fought rematch to DeGale in 2018 and most recently scored a third-round stoppage of Fabiano Soares at the Armory in August.

“Peter Quillin is someone I’ve wanted to fight since I first sparred with him in 2012,” Said Truax. “I walked away from that experience confident that I could get the job done if we were ever matched together. The fact that it’s taking place at home in Minnesota is even better because my fans are going to give me a huge advantage. My goal is to get back into title contention and win my second world title.”

A 2008 Olympian for his native Ukraine, Derevyanchenko (12-1, 10 KO) has made his home in Brooklyn, N.Y.. since turning pro in July 2014. The 33-year-old was unbeaten in his first 12 lupte, earning a world title fight with a final-round stoppage of Tureano Johnson in 2017. He most recently dropped a narrow split-decision to Daniel Jacobs in a middleweight title fight in October.

Culcay (25-3, 13 KO) is originally from Ecuador, spent much of his career fighting out of Germany, and now lives in Florida. He enters this bout on a three-fight winning streak after picking up a trio of wins in 2018. He had previously held an interim 154-pound titles before losing close decisions against Demetrius Andrade and Maciej Sulecki.

Representing his hometown of Brooklyn, N.Y., Colbert (10-0, 3 KO) has begun to make a name for himself showing off tremendous skills across his first 10 victorii pro. The 22-year-old most recently dominated Josh Hernandez on FS1 in January and he will return to fight at The Armory for the second time after defeating then unbeaten Austin Dulay on FS1 last April.

Fans can live stream the fights on the FOX Sports app, available in English or Spanish through the FOX, FS1 or FOX Deportes feeds. The fights are available on desktop atFOXSports.com and through the app store, or connected devices including Apple TV, Android TV, Fire TV, Xbox One and Roku.

*His son added, “It’s all good. Sometimes it’s difficult and becomes a little hard, but only because he’s pushing me. He’s my trainer, mostly, during fights.”*

*Worcester boxing is on the rise and more talent is turning pro, starting Mar. 15*^lea when Ball’s cousin, Minor, makes his long-awaited pro debut in a four-rounder versus **Corey Morley** *(0-2-1), de Philadelphia.*

Campioana mondială Lara vorbește înfruntarea la titlu, Sparring Top Prospects, 2018 Lupta anului împotriva lui Jarrett Hurd & Mai multe înainte de a-l înfrunta sâmbătă pe campionul WBA la categoria super welter, Brian Castaño, Martie 2 Live pe SHOWTIME^®de la
**Barclays Center din Brooklyn**

**Faceți clic pe AICI pentru Fotografii de la Hosanna Rull/Team Lara**

**HOUSTON** (Februarie 20, 2019) – Fost campion mondial la categoria super welter **Erislandy “Visul american” Lara** va căuta să recupereze o parte din coroana de 154 de lire sterline când îl provoacă pe campionul WBA **Brian Castano** sâmbăta, Martie 2 live pe SHOWTIME de la Barclays Center, casa BROOKLYN BOXING ™, și prezentat de Premier box Campionilor.

“Brian Castaño intră în această luptă cu un record neînvins, dar nu e nimic nu am văzut mai înainte,” Said Lara. “Aceasta va fi a treia mea luptă la rând împotriva unui luptător neînvins. Iau foarte în serios acest lucru. Stilistic, Simt că sunt luptătorul superior, dar este un campion foarte puternic. Voi fi pregătit să recuperez un titlu în această mare divizie, apoi uită-te la cele mai mari lupte care sunt acolo.”

Una dintre marile lupte care ar putea avea loc pentru Lara este o revanșă cu campionul unificat de 154 de lire Jarrett Hurd.. Lara a renunțat la Hurd cu o decizie împărțită într-o confruntare de unificare pe SHOWTIME, care a fost consensul 2018 “Lupta anului”, fiind recunoscut de BWAA, ESPN și știri sportive, printre altele.

“Lupta împotriva lui Hurd a fost o luptă grozavă pentru fani, dar am simțit că am câștigat șapte sau opt runde în acea noapte,” Said Lara. “A fi pe partea greșită a unei alte decizii apropiate mi-a lăsat un gust prost în gură. Acea luptă fiind recunoscută drept „Lupta anului”.’ arată versatilitatea mea ca luptător. Am fost la vot înainte cu Alfredo Angulo, așa că a fost bine să fiu recunoscut ca fiind un războinic, nu numai un meşter. Voi da mereu fanilor totul și voi veni în martie 2, nu va fi diferit.”

Lara continuă să lucreze cu antrenorul de lungă durată Ronnie Shields în Houston, unde Lara s-a pregătit pentru meciul său cu sparring, care include întâlnirea cu potențiali potențiali în Joey Spencer, în vârstă de 18 ani, și Eimantas Stanionis, în vârstă de 24 de ani..

“Ronnie și cu mine lucrăm grozav împreună, și avem un plan de joc excelent în vigoare.,” Said Lara. “Aceasta este una dintre cele mai bune tabere pe care le-am avut în ultimii ani. Să am luptători tineri precum Spencer și Stanionis în tabără cu mine este înviorător pentru că știu că le este foame. Când ne-am Spar, Mă hrănesc cu energia lor, pentru că știu că încearcă să-și ducă jocul la următorul nivel, ceea ce mă face mai bun. Acesta este un sport solicitant și cu siguranță mă împinge.”

Martie 2 de asemenea, îi oferă Larei șansa de a împărți scena cu un alt dintre cei mai buni luptători din Cuba, întrucât Luis Ortiz urmează să-l înfrunte pe Christian Hammer în evenimentul co-principal, făcând din noapte o sărbătoare a boxului cubanez.

“Eu și Luis Ortiz ne întoarcem și mă bucur că fratele meu luptă pe aceeași carte cu mine,” Said Lara. “Am trecut prin multe de când am părăsit Cuba pentru a ne îndeplini visele de a deveni campioni mondiali aici, în SUA.. Ca mine, Știu că va fi gata să distreze fanii în noaptea de lupte și să facă din aceasta o noapte memorabilă pentru boxul cubanez!”

Tickets for the March 16 eveniment, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and Ringstar Sports, sunt de vanzare acum, și poate fi achiziționat de la SeatGeek.com, the Official Ticketing Provider of AT&T Stadium.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Tuesday:

**ERROL Spence JR.**

“Acest lucru este un vis devenit realitate. This is something that still hasn’t really hit me yet. I try not to get caught up in the moment, but this is my favorite team that I’ve watched since I was sitting on my dad’s lap.

“Every time I see Mikey I get excited and anxious and want to go to the gym and spar. On Sunday, I sparred 18 rounds because of the whole press conference and face off on Saturday. Looking into Mikey’s eyes, I can see how hungry he is and that’s motivating me.

“Mikey is very difficult because of how me places his punches. He’s always thinking and he has a high ring IQ. But I’ve been clicking on all cylinders. I’m strong mentally and physically and prepared for anything he brings to the table. A win here can definitely catapult me and I’m ready to make it happen.

“Any athlete would love to have their home team supporting them. It just so happens I have the most popular team in the world right here in Dallas. It means a lot because they don’t have to do that. I’m very humbled and it feels great to represent Dallas. I always support my people here.

“Sunt 100 percent prepared and focused on Mikey Garcia. I’m hungry and I’m already on weight. I can’t wait to put on another show. Martie 16, you have to make sure you don’t miss it. It’s going to be a legendary night.”

**MIKEY GARCIA**

“This fight deserves a home like this. This fight deserves this type of atmosphere and energy. I was a Cowboys fan myself growing up and now I’m here in their home about to have the biggest fight of my career. It’s unbelievable, but here we are. I’m excited to make this a memorable night. This is history in the making.

“I’m very excited for what’s coming in a few weeks. This is a fight that I really wanted and it’s definitely the biggest challenge of my career. To fight the best welterweight in the division is no easy task. Errol Spence Jr. is going to bring the best out of me.

“I’m sure Errol is getting ready for the biggest fight of his career just like I am. That’s what’s going to make this interesting. That’s the recipe for a tremendous fight. It’s not very common to see two of the pound-for-pound best, still undefeated and fighting each other in their prime.

“We’ve been implementing techniques that will help me improve my speed, explosiveness and reaction time, while also adding a little bit of mass. I think all of that is going to be beneficial to me on fight night. I feel very happy with the results.

“If I don’t take these risks, then I won’t be rewarded. I want to be recognized as one of the greatest and the best of this generation. How can I achieve that if I don’t take these risks? That’s why I’m taking the biggest fight available.”

**DERRICK JAMES, Trainer Spence**

“I’m very happy to be here. It’s been a really good ride with Errol and myself. This is our 10^lea year working together and this is a beautiful place for everything to culminate. Mikey is a true fighter and he has a phenomenal trainer in his brother and father. We’re prepared for him and in shape right now. We’re ready to go.”

**ROBERT GARCIA, Garcia’s Brother & Antrenor**

“We’ve had a great training camp and our sparring partners are doing a great job preparing us for a very tough challenge. By the time the fight comes, you’re going to see what Mikey is all about. Everyone who watches this fight is going to enjoy a great night of boxing.”

**JERRY JONES, Dallas Cowboys Owner, President and General Manager**

“I don’t know if we’ve ever had an event here that has this kind of stature and the combination of two men standing in there on their own, and at the very best stage of their career. This is two champions meeting and that is something very rare for fans.

“When we built this stadium I thought a lot about boxing. The Dallas Cowboys constituency is particularly into boxing. We have a fantastic Mexican and Hispanic fan base and when we have fights at this stadium, there is a great affinity for boxing. When there is a fight of this caliber at this stadium, then we know we’re doing something very special.

“These two fighters are uniquely associated with this stadium and the Cowboys. Errol Spence Jr. literally lives next door and is from this particular area. The last night he had at The Star, he had his Cowboys gear on and made our players and myself so proud.

“Our home away from home, Oxnard, California is where Mikey Garcia used to watch the Cowboys practice. We have a lot of kinship with these two fighters and our fans are in for a tremendous treat.

“These two fighters are worthy of this stadium. Their skill level and ability to compete is worthy of this stadium. This is a special event that will be taking place on March 16.”

**TOM BROWN, Președintele TGB Promoții**

“Errol Spence Jr. vs Mikey Garcia is one of the most intriguing fights of the year. It’s a fight that will determine who is pound-for-pound the best fighter in the world.

“We’re thrilled to be at the home of the best professional franchise in sports, in the Dallas Cowboys. This is the perfect place for this event that features two unbeaten champions in their primes, putting their records on the line. Mikey and Errol are destined to walk out of that tunnel and into that ring to engage in a battle that will never be forgotten.”
