לאס וגאס (דצמבר 28, 2018) – מבשר המתמודד הבלתי מנוצח, קל משקל, דווין הייני התמודד עם התקשורת ביום חמישי במועדון האגרוף של מייוות'ר בלאס וגאס לפני שלו ShoBox: הדור החדש אירוע מרכזי באירוע שישי, יאן. 11 ב 10 p.m. ET / PT בשידור חי ב- SHOWTIME®.

בן המפרץ בן ה -20 במפרץ ותושבת הייני הנוכחית בלאס וגאס (20-0, 13 קוס), אלוף חובבים זוטר בן שבע פעמים, תהיה כותרת על סדרת הסיכויים הפופולרית המתקרבת ShoBox בפעם השלישית בקריירה הצעירה שלו כשהוא לוקח את ז'וליסאני נדנג'י הבלתי מנוצח (25-0, 13 קוס) באירוע ראשי בן עשרה סיבובים המתקיים ב- StageWorks של לואיזיאנה בשרוופורט.

ב ShoBox שיתוף תכונה, סיכוי משקל נוצה רובן וילה (14-0, 5 קוס) ייקח על עצמו את רובן סרברה (10-0, 9 קוס) בmatchup שמונה-העגולה. הטלוויזיה תיפתח עם משקולות כבדות צעירות פרנק סאנצ'ס פורה (10-0, 8 קוס) ווילי ג'ייק ג'וניור. (8-1-1, 2 קוס) מתרחק עוד בהתמודדות עם שמונה סיבובים. הנה מה שהיו חייבים להגיד הייני ואביו והמאמן ביל האני:


DEVIN HANEY במחנה האימונים האחרון שלו:

“מחנה אימונים היה פנטסטי. אני תמיד מתחיל בלאס וגאס בשבועיים הראשונים. לאחר מכן נסעתי לאזור המפרץ להתאמן במתקן SNAC עם ויקטור קונטה במשך ארבעה שבועות. עשיתי הרבה סיבובים של חסימות עם מריו באריוס, בין היתר בחדר הכושר של וירג'יל האנטר. עכשיו, אני חוזר בלאס וגאס עם מאמן הכוחות וההתניות שלי רג'י. אנחנו עובדים קשה, ואני אהיה במיטבי כשאני נכנס לזירה ב -11 בינואר.”

כשפניו עומדים בפני קסוליסני נדנגוני הבלתי מנוצח של דרום אפריקה:“אני יודע שלוחמים מאפריקה באים תמיד להילחם. Xolisani Ndongeni אינו שונה. הוא מנוסה מאוד ולא מנוצח. נדדונגי הלך 12 מסתובב פעמים רבות בקריירה שלו. אלה סוג המריבות שאני צריך לנצח בצורה מרשימה. אני תמיד מחפש להשתפר. הכאת דרום אפריקה הקשוחה תביא אותי צעד אחד קרוב יותר לצילום תואר עולמי.”

לאחר הופעתו השלישית בתאריךShoBox:
“נלחם ב- SHOWTIMEShoBox הסדרה הייתה מדהימה בקריירה שלי. זו ההופעה השלישית שלי בסדרה. זה מרגיש נהדר שיש בית שיגלה את הכישרון שלי. נדנגוני יביא את הטוב ביותר שבי. אני מוכן לסיים את התואר SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.”

כשהוא חושב שהוא יהיה מוכן לתואר עולמי:
“עליתי על הדירוג עם ניצחונות טובים מול מייסון מנארד וחואן קרלוס בורגוס. אני מדורגת בראש 10 בWBA, WBC, ו- IBF. אני ממוקד בנגדוני ו 11 בינואר זה הזמן שלי לזרוח.”

ביל האני, האב והמאמן של דווין
על התקדמותו של בנו דווין הייני:
“דווין תמיד מרשים אותי עם מוסר העבודה והמחויבות שלו לתוכנית המשחק. בכל יום בחדר הכושר הוא עובד על הדברים הקטנים שהופכים לוחם נהדר. דווין עבר דרך ארוכה מאז הופעת הבכורה המקדימה שלו. פעם הוא התחיל להילחם ב- SHOWTIME, הוא באמת הגביר את המשחק שלו. הוא לוחם נולד טבעי וגיהנום אחד של בדרן טוב.”

בבחירת מתנגדיו:“אנחנו תמיד מחפשים להעלות אותו בתחרות. זו קטטה גדולה עבורנו ואנחנו יודעים נגד מה אנחנו עומדים. אלה סוג הריבים שהולכים לקחת אותו לשלב הבא.”

על נוף האוגדה הקלה:“חלוקת המשקל קלה מוערמת והיא מהטובות באגרוף. [וסילי] לומצ'נקו ו [מייקי] גרסיה נחשבות לראש הדולר קילו 10. החבר'ה הצעירים שעולים הם מוכשרים מאוד וכדי להחזיק את התואר הקל ברגע זה אתה צריך להיות ילד רע. דווין צועד בדירוג ובתקווה בסוף השנה, נקבל את הזריקה שלנו, אך ראשית עלינו לטפל בעסקים נגד קסוליסני נדנג'ני.” # # #

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

לונדון (דצמבר 22, 2018) –Dillian Whyte delivered a Knockout of the Year candidate with a devastating left hook in the 11ה 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. עם הניצחון, Whyte now has the inside track at a world title fight in 2019.VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2BDKBOP

Whyte (25-1, 18 קוס), 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 הִתנַגְשׁוּת, in dramatic style. The highly competitive, back-and-forth bout was evenly contested from the opening bell. Chisora (29-9, 21 קוס), 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 11ה סיבוב. 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! Let’s do this. 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, דצמבר 24 ב 10 p.m. ET / PT ב- SHOWTIME EXTREME ויהיה זמין בכל SHOWTIME בכל זמן® ותצוגת זמן על פי דרישה®. 

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.

Tickets for the show, which is promoted by TGB Promotions in association with DiBella Entertainment, begin at $50 וניתן לרכוש ב ticketmaster.com, barclayscenter.com, או על ידי התקשרות 800-745-3000. Tickets can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. הנחות קבוצה זמינות על ידי קורא 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:

קית תורמן “אני מרגיש נהדר פיזית. 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. ינואר 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. בסופו של היום, I’m here to make a statement that ‘One Time’ חוזר. 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. סופו של דבר, 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’ ללכת. “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 לופז “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 “ינואר 26 is going to be a great night. בכל פעם שאני נלחם, 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.”

Both centers are located in the city of Aguas Buenas.

During the busy event that took place in the municipal boxing gym of Aguas Buenas, the children received backpacks with school supplies and sporting goods. כמו כן, motivational speeches were given, bicycles were raffled, and lunch was served for them.

“We have no words for what the WBO did for our city. It was the second time this year our children saw the WBO visiting and helping us. In the future, this will reflect on their lives. Our gratitude is infinite. Thanks Paco, for this gesture of love”, said the mayor of Aguas Buenas, Javier García Pérez.

“Thanks to the mayor for putting the sport of his city first. These activities serve to motivate, but the most important thing is that we have to be consistent in maintaining that. This isn’t done overnight; this is a process that we work with a lot of love and in the long term, we see extraordinary results”, Valcárcel said.

The WBO Interim Latino Heavyweight champion Víctor Bisbal, WBO Latino Jr. Welter Champion Jean Carlos “Lobo” Torres, WBO/NABO Flyweight Champion Jonathan “Bomba” González, and WBA World Featherweight Champion Jesús Rojas participated as volunteers, along with prospects Yomar Álamo, Emmanuel “Tito” Morales, Alfredo “El Salsero” Cruz, Patrick Cora and John Karl Sosa. Amateur boxing was represented with the presence of Alexamil Cotto, Tatiana Ortiz, Ryan Montes, Ramón Montes, Kenneth Molina, Ivan Silva, Yadel Hernández, Gabriel Menard, Joshua Carrión, Carlos Rivera, Carlos Díaz, Ángel Javier, Christian Rivera and Adrián Ortiz.

Also in attendance was manager Orlando Piñero, trainers Álex Caraballo, Jesús “Tongui” Ortiz, Yoel “Yowy” González, פליקס הפגאני Pintor, Armando Álamo, Efraín Román, Eliezer González and Edwin Delgado. The professional boxing referees Luis Pabón, José Hiram Rivera, Melva Santos and Roberto Ramírez,Jr were also present, as well as professional boxing judge Luis Ruiz. From the WBO, other than Valcárcel, legal advisor Gustavo Olivieri,Esq, treasurer Adolfo Flores, and the Vice Chairman of the Championship Committee Enrique Mendoza, Esq were also in the activity.

DILLIAN WHYTE vs. DEREK CHISORA FINAL PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES & תמונות

Photographs by: Jamie McPhilimey/Matchroom

לונדון(דצמבר 20, 2018) – Top-rated heavyweight contenders Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora took part in the final press conference before their highly anticipated rematch Saturday, דצמבר 22 חי על ההצגה מתחילה ב 5:00 p.m. AND / 2:00 p.m. PT from The O2 in London.

Whyte (24-1, 17 קוס) and Chisora (29-8, 21 קוס) 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, WBA and WBO Champion 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. I’m going to hit him. 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 [דאונטיי] ויילדר. 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.

להשאיר תגובה

Having solidified herself as a legitimate women’s star in her own right with her gallant performance against Claressa Shields last June, world champion Hanna Gabriels (18-2-1, 11 קוס) will return to her homeland to face Australia’s Sarah Dwyer on Saturday, ינואר 26, at the Avenida Escazu in San Jose, קוסטה ריקה.

The 10-round battle will be in defense of Gabriels’ WBA Super Welterweight Championship.

Dwyer (3-4-2, 1 KO) is coming off a draw for the Australian Championship against undefeated Tayla Harris in November.

This will be Gabriels’ first fight since the impressive showing against Shields, where she had the women’s superstar down in the first round before losing an exciting and close decision. The fight is being called the Women’s Fight of the Year for 2018.

“I’m feeling amazing training with my husband and just ready to get back,” said Gabriels. “She’s (Dwyer) a warrior will try to come and chop my head off, but we will send her back to Australia quick enough.”

Gabriels’ manager, Hector Cordova, says Dwyer is the first stop of a comeback that includes a return go with Shields and some other big names in women’s boxing.

“I am really proud of Hanna and everything she does for the community in Costa Rica. She is a hero inside and outside the ring; a real-life world success story. Our goal is to unify the 154-lb. החלוקה. We want to raise women’s boxing to new heights and eventually rematch Claressa and fight (women’s unified welterweight champion) ססיליה Braekhus. Hanna is the best 154-lb fighter in the world: a point we look forward to proving once again on January 26.”

Promoter Dmitriy Salita says that Gabriels’ name belongs among the best names in the sport. “Hanna is one of the best female fighters in the world. Her world-class skills make her one of the biggest names in all of women’s boxing. ינואר 26 is going to be a great night and will open a door of exciting new opportunities for Hanna.”

“I want to thank all of my fans for supporting me always and showing me love even in defeat,” said the always gracious Gabriels. “That’s what makes me want it more and more. I want to fight Claressa and Cecilia and give my fans all I can before I leave the sport. I also want to thank my team because they’re amazing. בריאן ואסקז, בעלי, Hector Fernandez de Cordova, המנהל שלי, Pedro Gonzalez and Esteban Quesada, my co-trainers and Dmitriy Salita for lending a hand when needed. I won’t disappoint you.”

ICB SIGNS FORMER MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMP PAUL MENDEZ TO CAGE BOXING PACT

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

Former International Boxing Association middleweight champion Paul Mendez of Salinas, קליפורניה., 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.

29 בן, 6-foot-1-inch Mendez has a record of 19-3-2 עם תשעה knockouts, including a mark of 12-1-1 for his past 14 קצוות.

מנדז, 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; במקום, 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’ (גנאדי Golovkin) מספר פעמים,” 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, פולטון, 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.
