Laisser un commentaire

James DeGale and Chris Eubank Jr will clash at London’s O2 on 23 February in the first major UK event of the new deal between ITV and Haymon Sports’ Premier Champions de boxe, it has been announced.

The Super Middleweight match, to be screened exclusively live on ITV Box Office, will take place against a backdrop of hostility between two fighters who have long made no secret of their mutual dislike and are relishing the prospect of settling their differences in the ring.

James DeGale has already fired off an opening shot in the direction of his opponent.

Il dit: “Really excited and looking forward to being back home to a fight of this magnitude. “I believe Eubank doesn’t have the pedigree, the size and skill to beat me. “Eubank is a decent fighter but every time he has stepped up he has been found out. He has called my name for a long time so now I’ve finally got my chance to zip his lips.”

Eubank Jr responded in kind, disant: “DeGale is going to get the schooling of his career. A good old-fashioned hiding.”

Poxon Sport is the promoter of DeGale v Eubank Jr, as the exclusive promoter of all UK PBC events on ITV.

The fighters faced off at the Hotel Café Royal, in London on Thursday, January 3rd. Live streaming of the press conference was hosted by ITV’s Gabriel Clarke on the ITV Box Office Facebook page and Youtube channel.

Voici ce que Haney et son père et entraîneur Bill Haney avaient à dire:


DEVIN HANEY Sur son récent camp d'entraînement:

“Le camp d'entraînement a été fantastique. Je commence toujours à Las Vegas les deux premières semaines. Je suis ensuite allé dans la région de la Baie pour m'entraîner au SNAC avec Victor Conte pendant quatre semaines. J'ai fait beaucoup de rounds de sparring avec Mario Barrios entre autres au gymnase de Virgil Hunter.. Maintenant, Je suis de retour à Las Vegas avec mon entraîneur de force et de conditionnement physique Reggie. Nous travaillons dur, et je serai à mon meilleur niveau lorsque je monterai sur le ring le 11 janvier.”

Face à l'invaincu de l'Afrique du Sud Xolisani Ndongeni:“Je sais que les combattants d'Afrique viennent toujours se battre. Xolisani Ndongeni n'est pas différent. Il est très expérimenté et invaincu. Ndongeni est parti 12 tourne plusieurs fois dans sa carrière. Ce sont le type de combats dont j'ai besoin pour gagner de manière impressionnante. Je cherche toujours à m'améliorer. Battre le dur sud-africain me rapproche un peu plus d'une chance pour le titre mondial.”

Lors de sa troisième apparition surShoBox:
“Combattre sur SHOWTIMEShoBox la série a été incroyable pour ma carrière. C'est ma troisième apparition dans la série. C'est génial d'avoir une maison pour mettre en valeur mon talent. Ndongeni fera ressortir le meilleur de moi. Je suis prêt à être diplômé en SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.”

Quand il pense qu'il sera prêt pour un titre mondial:
“J'ai grimpé le classement avec de bonnes victoires contre Mason Menard et Juan Carlos Burgos. Je suis classé parmi les meilleurs 10 dans la WBA, WBC, et IBF. Je suis concentré sur Ndongeni et le 11 janvier est mon temps pour briller.”

BILL HANEY, Père et entraîneur de Devin
Sur la progression de son fils Devin Haney:
“Devin m'impressionne toujours par son éthique de travail et son engagement envers le plan de match. Chaque jour dans la salle de gym, il travaille sur les petites choses qui rendent un combattant génial. Devin a parcouru un long chemin depuis ses débuts professionnels. Une fois qu'il a commencé à se battre sur SHOWTIME, il a vraiment intensifié son jeu. C’est un combattant né et un sacré bon artiste.”

Sur le choix de ses adversaires:“Nous cherchons toujours à l'intensifier en compétition. C'est un gros combat pour nous et nous savons à quoi nous devons faire face. Ce sont les types de combats qui vont l'amener au niveau suivant.”

Sur le paysage de la division des poids légers:“La division légère est empilée et est l'une des meilleures de la boxe. [Vasiliy] Lomachenko et [Mikey] Garcia est considéré comme le meilleur livre pour livre 10. Les jeunes gars à venir sont également très talentueux et pour détenir le titre des poids légers à ce moment, vous devez être un mauvais garçon. Devin monte dans le classement et, espérons-le, d'ici la fin de l'année, nous allons avoir notre chance, mais nous devons d'abord gérer les affaires contre Xolisani Ndongeni.” # # #

Watch the Whyte KO of the Year Candidate: https://s.sho.com/2BDKBOP

LONDRES (Décembre 22, 2018) –Dillian Whyte delivered a Knockout of the Year candidate with a devastating left hook in the 11e round in a dramatic rematch of one of 2016’s best fights between two top-rated heavyweight contenders Saturday in London in a SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL telecast from The O2 Arena. Avec la victoire, Whyte now has the inside track at a world title fight in 2019.VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2BDKBOP

Whyte (25-1, 18 KOs), who entered the fight holding the No. 1 ranking in the WBC and WBO, used a lethal left hook in the eleventh round to end the rematch, which was just as thrilling and memorable as the 2016 choc, in dramatic style. The highly competitive, back-and-forth bout was evenly contested from the opening bell. Chisora (29-9, 21 KOs), who was perhaps the more aggressive fighter, was deducted two points, once for a low blow in the eighth round and once for an elbow in the 11e tour. Despite the two-point deduction, Chisora was ahead on two scorecards, 95-94, at the time of the KO. Anthony Joshua, who called the fight ringside for Sky Sports, went face-to-face with Whyte following the bout.

“That left hook is my money shot. That shot is going to put a lot of people away,” said Whyte, whose only professional loss came to Joshua in 2015. “They can train for it as much as they want. I’ve been in deep waters and I can swim. I was in great shape. I wasn’t tired once, I was just pacing myself and I knew the knockout was going to come. Whoever wants it can get it. I want Joshua next! Faisons cela. Rematch!"

“Let’s forget about what’s happened in the past. We were at British level in our last fight and now we’re at world level,” replied Joshua, who holds the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles. “It was a good fight back then but let’s see where we’re at right now. If anybody deserves a world title shot, I think it’s Dillian. Deontay Wilder is the target, but if it’s not him, it’s Dillian Whyte.”

Saturday’s SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL telecast will replay on Monday, Décembre 24 à 10 p.m. ET / PT sur Showtime EXTREME et sera disponible sur SHOWTIME ANYTIME® et SHOWTIME sur DEMANDE®. 

The one-fight telecast from London was hosted by Brian Custer and Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood. Live fight coverage was provided by Sky Sports Box Office with Adam Smith calling the action and former world champion Carl Froch and Joshua providing expert analysis.

Couverture télévisée commence à 8 p.m. ET / 5 h, heure. PT and will see Kownacki battle former title challenger Gerald Washington in a 10-round contest and unbeaten featherweight contender Tugstgogt Nyambayar prendre en charge Claudio Marrero to open the telecast, all leading up to the Thurman vs, Lopez main event.

Billets pour le spectacle, which is promoted by TGB Promotions in association with DiBella Entertainment, commencer à $50 et peuvent être achetés à ticketmaster.com, barclayscenter.com, ou en appelant 800-745-3000. Les billets peuvent également être achetés à la billetterie American Express au Barclays Center. Les rabais de groupe sont disponibles en téléphonant 844-BKLYN-GP.

Here is what the fighters had to say Saturday before going face-to-face in the Barclays Center interview room, prior to the PBC on FOX fight night in Brooklyn:

KEITH THURMAN “Je me sens bien physiquement. We’re working really hard and just getting back into everything we did before the injury. It feels tremendous and I’m so happy to be able to do this back in Brooklyn. Janvier 26, you will see the return of the number one welterweight in the world. I need to come back and stay active and healthy. I’m going to remind everyone this year why I’m one of the baddest men on the planet. A la fin de la journée,, I’m here to make a statement that ‘One Time’ est de retour. I have one belt, and I’m missing one belt. I’m going to re-establish my own accomplishments this year, then go from there. We’re taking it one fight at a time. Right now my eyes are set on Josesito Lopez.”

“I’m a world-class fighter. I’ve fought through injuries my whole career. A real fighter ends up getting addicted to the game. There’s nothing better in this life than being under those lights and being part of the action. My legacy is not over. Unification against Danny Garcia was not enough for me. En fin de compte, I’m just waiting to be presented with a man who is better than me. There might not be one, but I’m not afraid to let my ‘0’ aller. “I need fights like this against a guy like Josesito Lopez. He’s going to be there and give the fans a great fight. He’s coming to take me out. He looked like he was in shape a month ago when I first saw him. “It’s been a long time and I’m truly honored to be back. It’s been hard for me to not be in the ring while I wait for the elbow to recover. I’m so happy to be back.”

Josesito LOPEZ “I’m really excited to be here tonight. Keith Thurman is a world-class, elite fighter and I’m going to make the most of this opportunity. I’ve been in this position before and I’ve never shied away from big battles. This is another big one and I’m going to be ready for it and become world champion.”

“I’m sure Keith Thurman is as strong and skilled as anyone I’ve ever faced. He’s undefeated for a reason. I give him his respect for that. I’m preparing for him to be the best fighter I’ve ever faced. We’re both experienced fighters who have fought world class competition. I’ve faced my share of tough heavy punchers. I’ve pretty much seen it all. Come January 26, we’re going into deep waters and we’ll see how each of us reacts.”

“No matter how active Thurman has been, the importance of this opportunity doesn’t change. If anything we might see a better and healthier Keith Thurman than we’ve seen in years. I’m expecting the best Keith Thurman there is. I’m going in against one of the toughest welterweights out there. I don’t need anyone to believe in me but myself. I’m going to give it my all to come out with that title.”

ADAM Kownacka “Janvier 26 is going to be a great night. Chaque fois que je me bats, it’s very exciting. I throw a lot of punches and bring the pressure. Gerald Washington is going to be a tough test, but if I get through him, I’m even closer to a title shot. That’s the ultimate goal.”

“It’s a little bit of a fairytale story. I was just a little kid from Brooklyn wearing the Golden Gloves and now I’m fighting at Barclays Center. It’s a whole new environment. Hopefully next year I’m the main event. That’s the goal and it’s going to be a dream come true. I have to keep working hard to achieve it.”

“I think when I fought Iago Kiladze, he was also a runner who could box. I managed the ring very well with him so I’m looking to do the same with Washington and punish the body. The taller they are the harder they fall. Gerald Washington is a tough exam. He’s a former title challenger and I know he’s going to bringing his A-game. My goal is to become the heavyweight champion of the world and in order to do that I have to get by Washington. That’s what I plan on doing.”

Aston Palicte vs. Jose Martinez WBO Jr. Bantamweight World Title Eliminator

Laisser un commentaire
Jeudi, Jan. 31, 2019 * Viejas Casino & Recours * Alpine, COMME

LAS VEGAS (Décembre 20, 2019) – Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions and Miguel Cotto Promotions will co-promote a potential early candidate for the 2019 Combat de l'Année, when world title challenger “Puissant”
Aston Palicte (24-2-1, 20 KOs) takes on unbeaten Jose “Chiquiro”
Martinez (20-0-2, 13 KOs) in a World Boxing Organization (WBO)
junior bantamweight title eliminator on Thursday, Janvier 31, at Viejas Casino & Resort in Alpine, Californie.



Palicte vs.Martinez will headline a soon-to-be-announced card in the 12-round main event, held on the Thursday night of Super Bowl week, in the Oak Ballroom. Viejas Casino & Resort is located 35 miles outside of San Diego.



Le vainqueur de la Palicte vs. Martinez title eliminator will become the
mandatory challenger for the winner of the New Year’s Eve match in
China for the vacant WBO Junior Bantamweight World Championship,
between No. 1 concurrent Donnie Nietes (41-1-5, 23 KOs) et n. 3
Évalué Kazuito Ioka (23-1, 13 KOs).



Palicte and Martinez will continue a Philippines-Puerto Rico boxing
rivalry that dates back many years, peut-être, mis en évidence par le 2009
épreuve de force entre Manny Pacquiao et Miguel Cotto, in which the
fabulous Filipino defeated the Puerto Rican warrior by way of a 12e
KO technique rond. It marks the first time Jones and Cotto, deux
of the greatest boxers of all-time, will be in opposite corners, in terms of competing fighters they promote, respectivement, Palicte and Martinez.



“Having our new partnership with Viejas Casino & Resort allows us to
host these great fights,” Roy Jones Jr. Promotions de boxe
CEO/Co-founder Keith Veltre remarqué. “Having a Roy Jones Jr. et
Miguel Cotto fighter face-off makes this fight even more exciting. 2019 is going to be the biggest and most active year for RJJ Boxing.”



“This is the type of fight that changes your career,” Hall of
Famer/promoter Cotto said. “We know ‘Chiquiro’ Martinez is ready for
the challenge and it will be an exciting fight. Promoting this fight,
together with Roy Jones, Jr., will be great for boxing. We really look
forward to start 2019 with a great fight like Martinez vs. Palicte.”



“All of us at Viejas are excited to be working with Roy Jones, Jr. and look forward to this amazing event,” ajoutée Jimmy Wild, GM Viejas Casino & Recours.







Palicte (WBO Non. 2) heads the latest wave of world-class Filipino boxers, who is coming off a controversial 12-round split draw with his fellow
compatriote, 3-division world champion Nietes, for the vacant WBO
Junior bantamweight title this past September in Inglewood, Californie. Many at ringside felt that Palicte should have won the Filipino showdown, based on his relentless pressure and considerably higher activity rate, throwing 300-plus more punches than Nietes.



Palicte is also ranked No. 9 in independent world ratings by The Ring
magazine.







Martinez (WBO Non, 4), who captured the vacant WBO North American Boxing Organization (VOISINS) Championship on November 16, 2017,
assommant Jesus Martinez (23-2-1, 11 KOs) in Cancun Mexico, a
also held the World Boxing Council Latino and WBC USNBC Silver
couronnes.



“I want to thank God for this great opportunity,” Martinez commented. “Merci, Miguel Cotto and the WBO. I feel excited because this is
the most important fight of my career with a high-level boxer as Palicte. I will train really hard to be in the best condition. We are really focusing on getting the big win on January 31st.”

DILLIAN WHYTE contre. DEREK CHISORA FINAL PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES & PHOTOS

Laisser un commentaire

Photographs by: Jamie McPhilimey/Matchroom

LONDRES(Décembre 20, 2018) – Top-rated heavyweight contenders Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora took part in the final press conference before their highly anticipated rematch Saturday, Décembre 22 direct sur Showtime à 5:00 p.m. ET/2:00 p.m. PT from The O2 in London.

Whyte (24-1, 17 KOs) and Chisora (29-8, 21 KOs) will run back one of 2016’s best fights as the bitter rivals will continue what they started two years ago with Whyte narrowly edging Chisora in a close all-out war. The winner will have the inside track at a possible future mega-fight with IBF, Champion WBA et WBO Anthony Joshua, who will be in attendance Saturday night.  

The SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL telecast is hosted by Brian Custer and Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood. Live fight coverage will be provided by Sky Sports Box Office.

Here is what the principals had to say Thursday from the Canary Riverside Plaza Hotel in London:

DILLIAN WHYTE

“There are levels to this thing and my levels just keep rising. I keep improving. Derek will see how strong I am come Saturday night.

“This is boxing and I’m used to people saying, ‘I’m going to do this or that’ to get into my head. I’ve been around long enough and heard fighters say ‘I’m going to come out banging in the first round,’ and then they come and do something else. So I don’t think Derek himself knows what he’s doing or where he’s going.

“I respect everyone. It’s a tough job getting in the ring. I respect everyone from the journeyman to the world champion of the sport.

“You know me, I do whatever it takes to get the win. I don’t need to get up and shout, ‘I’m going to do this or that.’ I just conserve my energy. I’m relaxed. You guys know what I bring and that I can fight, and I can box, and I can hit. You guys know my power. So I don’t have to sit here and scream about what I’m going to do. There will be blood on Saturday night.”

DEREK CHISORA

“David [Haye] put together the pieces for my training. He didn’t train me, but he sat me down and said, ‘This is what we’re going to do to get what we want to get.’ It’s gone well training-wise and lifestyle-wise. Now it’s time to go to war and have a great fight.

On his table-throwing episode during the last press conference two years ago:

 “I think the tables are screwed down so you won’t have to worry about that. I don’t think I’m going to do that anymore. I do something when I want to do something and now I’m just happy that training’s gone well and everyone’s fine in my camp.

“I’m going to bring the same game I do for every fight and we’re going to come to fight. His coach says that his fighter will be a boxer and all of that. But truly he’s not in the ring and Dillian’s the one that has to fight and he’s going to try to run, or he can meet me in the middle which would be great for me. Whatever game plan they have is fine. We will come in and seek and destroy.

“The first fight was a great fight. The boxing fans loved it. My brain cells didn’t love it but I enjoyed it. We are going to drown him from the get-go. We know he’s fit, but we want to see how fit he is. We’re going to go BOOM from the gates.

“I don’t want this to go to points. I’m going to knock the sucker out. Hundred percent. Je vais le frapper. I’m going to pound him.”

MARK TIBBS, Whyte’s Trainer

“Ninety-nine point nine percent of the time, a good boxer will beat a good brawler. [Dillian] is not only just a good boxer, he’s a boxer-fighter. We will box and fight our way to a very good victory. It ain’t going to be easy, but we will meet him and greet him and beat him to the punch.”

DAVID HAYE, Former Heavyweight Champion and Chisora’s Manager

“I think Derek has always had in him what he needs to be one of the best heavyweights on the planet. He’s had opportunities in the past but hasn’t capitalized on them the best he could and I think he realizes that now. His experiences have taught him that he needs to work hard and make the sacrifices, and that’s what he’s done. He no longer does the things he used to do and when he stands on the scales tomorrow, you’ll be able to see.

“I’m very confident and I know he has the capabilities. I’ve been in there with him, and I’ve felt his power and his presence in the ring. I’ve seen it. The intensity and ferocity I’ve seen in sparring shows that he’s coming for war. I think the first time he didn’t have 12 rounds of war in him. I think this time he does. I think the power Derek brings will make Dillian very uncomfortable, but the fans are going to love it.”

EDDIE HEARN, Head of Matchroom Boxing

“The winner of this fight Saturday night is so important to the global heavyweight scene and so much is at stake.

“I think the crowd is going to be with Chisora. You know the British fans love the underdog. What makes this fight intriguing to the average fan is that these guys are both characters and very entertaining fighters. At the first fight I sat next to Wladimir Klitschko and he said, ‘I don’t think this fight is going to be very good.’ And after three rounds we looked at each other just shaking our heads.

“The Whyte fight is a big fight for Anthony, but I will stress again the one fight we want is with [Deontay] Wilder. We’re talking now. People shouldn’t assume the rematch with Fury is happening because the deal won’t be that easy. It never is for a fight of that size. It all depends really on Wilder; if he wants to be undisputed and if that matters to him. He can fight Fury after if he believes he can beat A.J. We don’t get chances very often to have undisputed champions, and that’s what everyone wants.

MENDEZ SEES ‘THE FIGHT ZONE’ AS ‘A PLATFORM TO GROW’

Former International Boxing Association middleweight champion Paul Mendez of Salinas, Calif., has signed a multi-year agreement with International Championship Boxing, promoter of the revolutionary and exciting new combat sport that features boxing in a cage.

“Our first former world champion has joined ICB, and I have every confidence he won’t be the last,” says Jack Fulton, founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Virginia-based ICB.

Le 29-year-old, 6-foot-1-inch Mendez has a record of 19-3-2 avec neuf KOs, including a mark of 12-1-1 for his past 14 bouts.

Mendez, nicknamed “El Gallo Negro” (“The Black Rooster”), won the IBA middleweight championship during 2015 by beating Ernesto Berrospe on a card co-promoted by the late, great Don Chargin, acknowledged industry-wide as one of the best judges of boxing talent ever.

“I am gratified by the number of boxers, mixed martial artists and kickboxers who are reaching out to us,” says Fulton.

“And it’s not just boxers and fighters from North America,” says Fulton. “We’re getting calls and emails from fighters in Europe and Asia who are eager to compete in the ICB.“

Mendez was never dethroned; plutôt, he retired during 2016 in order to spend time during the early formative years of his baby daughter, named Love.

“I wanted to be around my daughter at the beginning,” says Mendez. “But she’s three now, and I’m entering my prime years.”

And Mendez learned an important lesson, thanks to his daughter.

“She’s my driving force, my passion,” says Mendez. “So I had to learn to be an adult with adult responsibilities. Thanks to my daughter I’ve grown as a man and I’ve grown in the boxing process.

“I’ve been boxing since I was 10 and it’s always been a game to me, a sport, not a job,” says Mendez. “But now that I have a daughter I think of boxing as a business; it’s a serious work.

“I’ve sparred with ‘3G’ (Gennady Golovkine) several times,” says Mendez, “and he says, ‘Boxing is not a game.’ When I sparred with Andre Ward he always said to be ruthless in the ring.

I’m not scared or nervous of anyone,” says Mendez. “I don’t care if it’s King Kong. I’m ready to fight anyone, and now I’ll do it in the cage.

“When ICB came along I immediately saw it was a good fit for me,” says Mendez. “I’m a fighter, not a pitty-pat, and when I impose my size on opponents, this will be perfect for me.

“This is an opportunity for a fighter like me,” says Mendez. “I can and will use this as a platform to grow. I’m excited about it.”

Mendez offers specifics why the ICB cage, a 24-foot hexagon trademarked “The Fight Zone,” is to his liking.

“Six corners, not just four, is to my advantage,” says Mendez. “There’s more places to trap people. The ‘Fight Zone’ is all about angles and cutting off the cage.”

It took Fulton almost two years to get the cage designed, built, patented and approved by boxing and athletic commissions within the United States, including the state of Nevada.

An 18-year veteran promoter of the sport, Fulton, through the years, began to realize the sport needed something new, something fresh. And in 2016 he did something about it.

“The Fight Zone” has red and blue entry points with two opposing neutral corners. Boxers compete under Association of Boxing Commissions rules: no clinching, no grappling and no kicking allowed.
