La table ronde était animée par le journaliste primé de SHOWTIME Sports Jim Gray de l'hôtel Westin Bonaventure. & Suites, Los Angeles. Voici ce que les légendes des poids lourds avaient à dire vendredi:

 

EVANDER HOLYFIELD

 

 

“Je pense que Deontay Wilder va gagner parce que finalement il va décrocher cette main droite. Il est très patient. C'est un penseur, mais il peut aussi prendre des risques. Quand les gens prennent des risques, ils gagnent.

 

 

 

“Deontay n'a peut-être pas autant d'expérience qu'à notre époque, mais il a le pouvoir. C’est ce que les gens veulent voir et je pense qu’ils seront heureux quand ils le verront.

 

 

 

“Il y avait un moment où chaque grand poids lourd venait des États-Unis. Nous avons eu un très bon programme amateur. J'étais le dernier vrai champion des poids lourds des États-Unis. avant Wilder et jusqu'à ce que je perde la décision contre Lennox.

 

 

 

“Être le champion poids lourd du monde, et dire que tu es le meilleur, vous devez combattre n'importe quel homme.”

 

Lennox Lewis

 

 

 

“Je pense que ça va être un grand combat. Deontay Wilder a une main droite formidable et quand il atterrit, peu de gens peuvent y résister. Je pense aussi que vous ne pouvez pas blesser ce que vous ne pouvez pas frapper. Tyson Fury n'est pas une personne facile à frapper. Il a une grande capacité et un grand mouvement. Je pars avec Deontay tôt ou Fury tard.

 

 

 

“Nous savons tous ce que ça fait de perdre le championnat des poids lourds. Nous savons combien il est difficile de le récupérer. Fury l'a perdu, et maintenant il veut le récupérer. Je peux voir maintenant qu'il se sacrifie et se dit qu'il n'aurait pas dû le perdre, et maintenant il doit le retrouver.

 

 

 

“Je pense que la vue au Royaume-Uni. est que Tyson Fury est l'homme qui a intensifié. Le gant a été jeté là-bas et il a défendu la Grande-Bretagne. Deontay est venu en Angleterre pour défier Anthony Joshua, mais c'est Tyson Fury qui a répondu à l'appel.

 

 

 

“Je dirais qu'il y a quelques meccas de la boxe qui sont des endroits où tout le monde veut se battre. Las Vegas, New York et bien sûr, Los Angeles. Mon combat contre Vitali Klitschko au STAPLES Center a été un grand combat. Mon plan cette nuit-là n'était pas de boxer pour tenir la distance, J'ai boxé pour aller sur une courte distance et ça l'a fait.”

 

RIDDICK BOWE

 

 

 

“Je pars avec Deontay Wilder demain soir. Il va faire un super spectacle pour tout le monde et obtenir un autre KO.

 

 

 

“Tyson Fury est habile et grand, mais pour moi,, il ne fait pas assez en attaque. Il bouge mais il ne bouge pas assez ses mains.”

 

GERRY COONEY

 

 

 

“Je pense que c'est un grand combat demain soir. Nous savons que Fury revient motivé. Si Wilder trouve un foyer pour ce droit, il va sortir Fury. Je pense qu'il va se connecter à un moment donné pendant le combat.

 

 

 

“Je pense que Tyson Fury est un homme formidable pour la mesure dans laquelle il est revenu dans sa vie et pour avoir tenu tête à Deontay Wilder. Fury l'a appelé, alors peut-être qu'il sait quelque chose que nous ne savons pas.

 

 

 

“Je suis si contente d’être ici. Regardez tous ces grands poids lourds et ces gars formidables. C’est spécial et ils sont tous ici pour regarder ce combat demain soir.”

 

Rasoirs EARNIE

 

 

 

“Moi et Deontay sommes tous les deux de l'Alabama. Je serai bientôt intronisé au Temple de la renommée des sports de l'Alabama et Deontay y sera également un jour. Deontay est un excellent puncheur et je tire pour lui demain soir.

 

 

 

“J'ai combattu dans une grande époque. Si vous combattez les gars au même niveau, vous aurez de bons combats. Ces gars d'aujourd'hui pourraient entrer là-dedans de nos jours et faire un bon spectacle.”

 

BUSTER DOUGLAS

 

 

 

“Je pense que ça va être un bon combat compétitif. Si je devais choisir, Je prendrais Deontay Wilder par KO au huitième tour.

 

 

 

“J'ai l'impression que Tyson Fury a déjà gagné en se battant et en se mettant en forme et en étant dans cette position. Je suis sûr que beaucoup de gens pensaient ne jamais le revoir ici. C’est une victoire en soi.

 

 

 

“Ma victoire sur Mike Tyson a changé ma vie d'une manière formidable. J'étais maintenant le champion du monde des poids lourds. Mon rêve était devenu réalité. Voir la naissance de mes deux plus jeunes enfants était la seule chose qui pouvait couronner le tout.”

 

MICHAEL SPINKS

 

 

“Que le meilleur gagne. Je ne sais pas qui est le plus en forme, mais je pense que Fury hors du ring me fait pencher vers Deontay Wilder. Si Fury est aussi grand en personne qu'on le dit, il a une grande chance.

 

 

“Si vous êtes l'opprimé, il vous suffit de continuer sur ce que vous savez et sur quoi vous avez travaillé. Vous ne pouvez pas faire attention aux sceptiques. Vous vous concentrez sur ce pour quoi vous vous êtes préparé et donnez tout ce que vous avez. Je me suis toujours vu gagner. C’est le plus grand sentiment de sortir victorieux du ring.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites Los Angeles:
JARRETT HURD
Everything that my team and I have spoken about has come to pass. I’m here as the co-main of a massive card and I’m just really appreciative of everyone who believed in me and helped push me to this moment.
Saturday night I want to show my versatility. Everyone has seen that I’m electrifying. I bring the action. But I want to show that I am swift and I do have defense. I know how to use my height and range. I’m still going to bring the action on Saturday, so you have to make sure to tune-in.
We don’t think of Welborn as a tune-up fight. Jason Welborn is a British champion for a reason. We just want to go out there and establish the game plan we worked on in camp.
I want to show my defensive side and show that I can box and move. I want to show that I don’t have to just keep coming forward. I’m going to be able to do that and start to break him down and get him out of there.
Everybody sees my demeanor, and they know that I carry that to the ring. My composure is my biggest attribute. Peu importe ce qu'on dit, I’m always going to be me.
I’m number one in the division and things are going to play out how I want them. We’ve had three tough camps training for southpaws. When I eventually fight (Champion WBC) Jermell Charlo, I’m going to be ready because of all the work on my versatility and defense. I’ll be ready for Jermell Charlo.
I want to be an active champion because I didn’t have a lot of amateur fights. I need to stay in the ring and get all the experience I can. I want to get these good fights in while I’m still young and healthy.
I’m back from my surgery and we’re going to get back to the old Jarrett Hurd. I’m going to show everyone all that I can do. Everyone knows that there’s always going to be action. It’s going to be a wonderful fight on a wonderful card. Don’t blink during this one.
JASON WELBORN
This is a dream come true to be here today. Hurd has worked his way up to get here just like I have. Maintenant, he’s in my way. I hope everyone enjoys what I bring to the table on Saturday night.
I have the belief that I’m born and bred for this game and I’m going to show it to the whole world on Saturday night. I always prove people wrong.
The last two years I’ve become the best in Britain and beaten everyone they put in front of me. When people doubt me, I train even harder. I’m coming to win and I’ve got nothing to lose.
I have to get what I deserve and I’ll do it on Saturday night. I’ve already been through the storm. He’s got what I want.
I’ve got to enjoy the fight and get what I want. He can look past me all he wants, but once he feels what I bring to the table, we’ll see how he reacts. I’m ready for whatever he’s going to bring to the table.
LUIS ORTIZ
I want to thank everyone who has helped me get this opportunity. I like to do my talking in the ring, but I’m happy that Travis Kauffman stepped up. A lot of heavyweights haven’t done that and I’m glad we can make this fight happen.
I’m coming to do my job. This is a heavyweight fight and we know that means one punch can change everything. It’s not going to end well for Travis on Saturday night.
“Il y a 10 rounds to get the job done, and three minutes per round. I’m going to get my job done. The job is to seek and destroy. So I hope that Travis is very prepared to give the fans a great show. Saturday night you’ll see ‘King Kong’ dans le ring.
I’ve pushed myself even harder than ever in training camp. We’re sticking with the same game plan of family first and I believe I will be rewarded. My five-year-old boy reminds me that I have a loss and that motivates me to train harder and harder.
I expect Travis to have the great confidence he’s showing. It’s a great chance for him and I’m sure he’ll be motivated. I’m motivated for every fight, because it’s not just about my opponent. My goal is to provide for my family and Travis is in the way. I’ve never deterred from that mentality and it’s got me ready for Saturday night.
TRAVIS KAUFFMAN
I’m thankful to Luis Ortiz for taking this fight. Everybody is afraid to fight him, but I’m not afraid of anyone. We all know that Luis Ortiz can punch, but I don’t care about any of that. It’s my time. I come from a rough background and I won’t back down.
“Ce est mon temps. There’s nothing that’s going to stop me from taking this guy down. He’s so worried about Deontay Wilder, but he has to worry about me before he gets any rematch.
You might not know who I am right now, but you will after Saturday night. I’m going to make sure people remember my name.
Luis Ortiz is very skilled, but if you want to be the best you have to fight the best. No one actually wants to step up and take this fight, but I really believe this is my time. I bring some heat in the ring and I come to fight every time.
JOE JOYCE
I’m excited to be on this massive card. I’m going to give the whole world a treat as part of a great event. You have to tune-in and watch me start the show off right on Saturday night.
Training in Big Bear has been a perfect environment for me. It’s in the mountains, it has the altitude and it’s secluded. I’ve seen what goes into their training camps and worked alongside the best in the world. They’ve helped me install the kind of style that will have me at my best.
I have the Olympic pedigree, but now it’s about advancing the brute strength and really getting the perfect snap on my shots.
Sparring against Tyson Fury was really top-level work. I know that it’s made me a better fighter. He’s looking fit and strong and it shows when you’re in the ring with him.
“Ceci est une grande opportunité. Abel Sanchez has done a tremendous job getting me ready for this position. I’m excited to show everyone my skills and everything I’ve learned.
I’m glad that Joe Hanks decided to take this fight. I can’t wait to lace up the gloves and get the party started. I’m going to keep my knockout streak going and I guarantee it’s going to be exciting
JOE HANKS
It’s been a long time coming for this moment. I’m thankful to my team and I’m excited to be on this card with other great heavyweights. It’s a great time to be a heavyweight. I’m ready to put my name in the ring to have the chance to really do something special with a great performance Saturday.
The work has been done. I did everything that I had to do. I’ve done more than I did preparing for my past fights. Being the underdog doesn’t mean much to me. I’m from Newark, New Jersey, and we’re all underdogs there.
I’ve put the time in and I’ve had everyone supporting me and pushing me and I think it’s going to get me over the hump. I’m just really excited to get in there.
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Sport Président & Programmation de l'événement, Showtime Networks Inc.
When we talk about Jarrett Hurd, he’s a fighter who has seemingly come out of nowhere and has had an incredibly rapid rise to the top. He was not a decorated amateur. He has learned on the job. All he has done since beating Oscar Molina in 2016 is impress. He is recognized as one of the bright young stars in boxing. He has been off due to injury and certainly could have taken an easier fight than Jason Welborn, who is a British Commonwealth champion. We’re expecting an action fight there.
Luis Ortiz is one of the top heavyweights in the world. He has one blemish on his otherwise perfect record, a loss to Deontay Wilder. Perhaps Ortiz was just seconds away from victory. We talk about a slim margin in fights, that was the slimmest of margins. I think he is going to be trying to make a statement on the undercard that he deserves a rematch against Deontay Wilder. Standing in his way will be Travis Kauffman. This is another all-action fight filled with big punchers.
In our opening bout, we have one of the most talked-about rising young heavyweights in the sport – Joe Joyce, who is taking on a tough veteran in Joe Hanks. Comme nous le savons, the heavyweight division has been the focus more in the last six to nine months than we’ve seen in the last couple decades. Joe Joyce is at the top of the list on the potential next wave of future stars. He is certainly not wasting any time taking on a fighter of Joe Hankscaliber.
When you look at the card overall, you’ve got some of the biggest punchers in boxing. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see several knockouts on this card. Don’t miss the action.

QUÉBEC (Novembre 29, 2018) – Boxing’s longest reigning world champion, Adonis Stevenson, et invaincu, mandatory challenger Oleksandr Gvozdyk faced off Thursday at the final press conference ahead of Stevenson’s 10e defense of his WBC Light Heavyweight Title in a BOXE SHOWTIME: ÉDITION SPÉCIALE telecast Saturday, Décembre 1 from Videotron Center in Quebec City.

PT and also features unified 154-pound world champion Jarrett Hurd returning to take on Jason Welborn, Cuban heavyweight slugger Luis Ortiz facing-off against Travis Kauffman and rising heavyweight Joe Joyce combattre Hanks Joe.

 

 

 

Here is what Stevenson, Gvozdyk and their respective trainers had to say Thursday at Chateau Bonne Entente in Quebec City:

 

Adonis Stevenson:

 

 

 

“Saturday is a big fight. I’m not underestimating Gvozdyk. I know he’s a good fighter and he’s hungry. He’s trained very hard to get my title. But everybody who comes to my home in Canada always wants my title, but it’s never happened and it’s not going to happen now.

 

 

 

“I’m looking for the knockout. That’s just my mentality and the way that I train. Sucre [Hill Steward] trains me to think that way but I can also go 12 tours, ce n'est pas un problème. I know that if he makes a mistake, I’m going to catch him. He only has to slip up once in 12 tours. One mistake, one punch. That’s all it’s going to take. Je suis prêt. I know I can punch and it’s 12 tours. I just need one punch. Just one. I’m going to catch him and the night will be over.

 

 

 

“I’ve been pushing myself in training and I’m going to put on another great performance come Saturday and will defend my title once again. In the words of my old trainer, Emanuel Steward, ‘knockouts selland that’s what I’m going for in this fight. I know I’m facing a good boxer who’s coming in very determined. He’ll be ready, but it won’t be enough. Superman is in the building!"

 

OLEKSANDR GVOZDYK:

 

 

“I’m glad to finally be here. Je suis très excité. I want to thank Top Rank and GYM Promotions for finally making this happen. I respect Adonis Stevenson as a fighter, c'est un grand champion. But I am ready to accept this challenge and on Saturday night there will be a new champion.

 

 

 

“I have one of the greatest trainers in the history of boxing so I’m very confident. We have a good strategy. We had an excellent training camp and I’m ready. Adonis is a great fighter. He’s a dangerous southpaw and this is a real step-up for me but it’s my time.

 

 

 

“People always ask about Stevenson’s age but George Foreman and Bernard Hopkins performed at a high level when they were 50-years-old. It really just depends on how you maintain your body, your living conditions, how you eat and how you train.

 

 

 

“I’m not worried about what the bookmakers say. It doesn’t mean anything that they think I am the favorite. I try to stay focused on the things that I need to be focused on, not what the bookmakers think. The further this fight goes, the better my chances are. My height, my movement and my patience will win me this fight.”

 

SUGAR HILL STEWARD, STEVENSON’S TRAINER

 

 

 

“I’m happy to be here once again. This is like a second home for Adonis. This fight is just going to be regular Adonis. Adonis wants to get a knockout. I love KO. This is how we train for every fight. It’s no disrespect to any fighter, but that’s just the mentality that we have. Adonis and I don’t believe in leaving it in the hands of the judges and that’s been working so far. We will continue to do what we’ve been doing.”

 

 

 

“Adonis has been training his whole life for something like this. This is a big world championship fight against a former Olympian. Welcome to big time boxing, this is what it’s all about. Viens décembre 1, Adonis Stevenson is going to get another knockout.”

 

TEDDY ATLAS, GVOZDYK’S TRAINER

 

 

“We knew that this would be a very difficult fight but what we didn’t know was how difficult it would be to get here. That part of the fight is over, thankfully. We spent eight weeks in California preparing for this bout. Preparing for a tremendous champion. I don’t have to speak about how long he’s been a champion, his reign, his experience, how talented and dangerous he is as a puncher. I believe he’s the best or second-best puncher in boxing today. It’s either him or [Deontay] Wilder, whatever you choose.

 

 

 

“Stevenson has all of the qualities a great fighter needs. He has a great heart, he’s gotten off the canvas and showed tremendous heart late in the Badou Jack fight. This is quite a task that’s in front of us. We understand that. The good news is that we know exactly what we’re facing and we’ve prepared the last eight weeks for that. We have not overlooked anything. I have no doubt that although we have a very steep challenge in front of us, that on Saturday night we will have a new Light Heavyweight Champion of the World.”

Decastro: It’s My Destiny To Be World Champion.

 

 

Bardney, Lincolnshire’s Nathan Decastro (14-0-0) wholeheartedly believes it is his destiny to become World Champion. In just over a weeks time he finally gets the opportunity to make his childhood dream come true, when challenges Accra, Ghana’s Daniel Adjei Sowah (20-6-2) pour l'Union mondiale de boxe (UMA), Super Middleweight Championship of the World at the Glasgow Club in Bellahouston, Glasgow on Saturday the 8th December 2018.

 

Decastro, qui est actuellement classé #6 in the International Boxing Federation (IBF) Intercontinental rankings, earned the shot for the WBU World Crown with a solid points victory over West African Boxing Union (WABU) Champion Agoe Ashong (11-2-0) to secure the Professional Boxing Council (PBC) Commonwealth title at Pride Park in Derby back in September.

 

Speaking from his home earlier Decastro could barely hide his joy at the opportunity to fight for his first World Championship.

 

“Je bourdonnement, I just can’t wait. I mean not only am I fighting for the World title, but will be fighting for it on the undercard of Scott Harrison’s return to the ring, exciting times.

 

My camps gone really well, I’m feeling fitter and stronger than ever. We’re not leaving anything to chance; we’ve covered every conceivable angle.

 

My father Frank has made sure of that, he’s a great coach, I really am blessed that he trains me.

 

We know he’s a banger, but so am I and what’s more I have a better KO ration of 11 en 14 against his 13 en 28 and more importantly I believe I am more hungry for this than him.

 

It’s been my dream since I started boxing as a youngster to win a World title and now I’m just over a week away from making my dreams come true.

 

Especially as I am fighting for the WBU Title, we have history with this Championship at the Bracebridge Boxing Club, as Kelly Oliver whose father owns the club also fought for the WBU crown, at Cruiserweight, so have to win it and bring the belt back to the gym I’ve trained at all my career.

 

Decastro then went on to vent his frustrations over the way bureaucracy had thwarted his previous Championship efforts.

 

I’ve had a really frustrating year or so, yes I won the Commonwealth title last time out but twice this year I was supposed to challenge for the World title.

 

Unfortunately bureaucratic red tape caused the fights to be cancelled, either Visa issues came into play, as with the original planned fight against Agoe (Ashong) in July or worse still unnecessary political interference by the EBU, which scuppered the IBF European fight against Ronnie (Landaeta).

 

This time though it’s different, Daniel has his Visa and the EBU can’t possibly interfere, so no excuses.

LOS ANGELES (Novembre 27, 2018) – WBC World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder and lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury presented tickets for this Saturday’s heavyweight title showdown to area first responders in recognition of the men and women who battled the recent fires in Southern California.

 

 

 

Before he meets Fury on SHOWTIME PPV®from STAPLES Center, Wilder delivered tickets for first responders alongside L.A. Fire Department Chief Ralph Terrazas at LAFD Station 3. Wilder spent time with the first responders and donned the firefighter uniform while conducting interviews.

 

 

 

These men and women risk their lives each and every day,” Saïd Wilder. “When the duty calls, they’re at the top of their game. I really respect the hard work that they do and I’m blessed to be here and be amongst so many brave people.

 

 

 

I just really appreciate everyone here and I’m looking forward to seeing them at the fight on Saturday night. This donation is for all of the things that they do on a daily basis, and everything they do that people don’t see. They are always ready when the time comes. I know that the city and the state appreciates everything you do.

 

 

 

We’re very proud to host the champ here at LAFD Station 3,said Chief Terrazas. “We wish you well and we look forward to celebrating with you on Saturday night. It’s very special that Deontay wanted to come here and recognize all the hard work that these men and women do.

 

 

 

Fureur, who spent his training camp Southern California, joined L.A. County Fire Chief Daryl Osby at the L.A. County Fire Department Headquarters to meet with first responders.

 

 

 

These firefighters are heroes who have been out there every day saving lives,” said Fury. “Since I’ve been here I’ve been following the situation and the fantastic job these men and women have been doing. I’m glad to be here to tell them how thankful I am for what they do and help give them a break Saturday night.

 

 

 

Training in California has really opened my eyes to see so many different cultures and so many different things that are going on here. There’s a lot of homeless people on the streets and when I go home I’m going to build homes for the homeless and set up funds for those in need. Being here has given me that extra push to do more.

 

 

 

We’re very thankful for these tickets and for the support shown today for our firefighters,” said Chief Osby. “They put their lives on the line to protect our citizens and our community and we’re happy that their efforts are acknowledged.

Undefeated prospect Richard “Popeye le marin” Rivera takes his act South

HARTFORD, Conn. (Novembre 26, 2018) – Undefeated prospect Richard “Popeye le marin” Rivera will take his act South this Friday night, when he fights Josué Robertson dans une “rester occupé” combattre sur le “Boxing Bash” carte, présenté par Christy Martin Promotions, à Centerstage@Noda à Charlotte, Caroline du Nord.

 

 

 

Rivera vs. Robertson, contested at a 185-pounds catchweight, will be co-promoted by Rivera’s promoter, Hartford Boxing Promotions.

 

 

 

Rivera (8-0, 7 KOs), la Fédération Universelle de Boxe en titre (UBF) Championne des poids mi-lourds de toute l'Amérique, is part of a trio that formed Hartford Boxing Promotions earlier this year, including Rivera’s manager/head trainer Tony blanc and their partner, Michael Tran.

 

 

Fighting out of Hartford (CT), Rivera has rejuvenated that market, whose rich boxing history dates back nearly a full century, en tête d'affiche du Temple de la renommée internationale Willie “Est-ce que o’ le feu follet” Dynamisme et ChristopheBataille” Battalino. Les autres boxeurs de haut niveau incluent le champion du monde Marlon “Magic Man” Étourneau, prétendants au titre mondial Gaspard “L'Indien” Ortega, et Israël “plutôt” Cardona, et 1996 Capitaine de l'équipe olympique américaine de boxe Lawrence Clay-Bey.

 

 

 

Maintenant, bien que, it’s Rivera’s time to shine. Arguably the hardest-hitting, most popular fighter in New England, Rivera hit Randy Campbell so hard this past April in New Hampshire that the force of his powerful right broke his opponent’s ankle only seconds into the contest.

 

 

Rivera has developed a strong fan-base throughout New England and now he’s bringing his “Popeye” persona to the South for the first time. “This is a good opportunity to expand my ‘Popeyebrand,” Rivera a déclaré. “My last fight was in Mexico and this fight is in North Carolina. We’re on our way to going worldwide. I have a lot of family in North Carolina, Fayetteville and Raleigh, so I won’t be alone down there.

 

 

 

“Je crois 2019 won’t be much different that my first year as a pro. I’ll be getting a lot of fights and I think that, by the end of next year, I’ll be fighting for something big. I stay in top shape in case a good opportunity comes around. I’m confident and I’ve really benefitted from being Joe Smith‘s sparring partner. This fight is about staying sharp because I don’t like having too much time off. The plan is to fight in a different part of the country, get a victory, and then remain in top shape.

 

 

 

The wildly popular Rivera originally got his nickname because, Quand il était plus jeune, ses avant-bras étaient considérablement plus gros que ses biceps. Les combattants dans le gymnase ont taquiné Rivera en plaisantant à propos de ses avant-bras agrandis, l'appeler “Popeye,” et le surnom est resté. Maintenant, Rivera présente son personnage Popeye dans son intégralité, which has added many females and children to his growing fanbase, and he attributes his wins to eating his spinach to be good to the finish.

 

 

 

Fighters today need to be more than talented,” added promoter ChristyThe Coal Minder’s Daughter” Martin, the two-division world champion who was a women’s boxing pioneer. I haven’t seen him (Rivera) fight yet, but I’ve been impressed by what I’ve heard about him. He’s a great addition to our card. Rivera is a big guy with power and everybody wants to see big guys. But he’s also smart, marketing wise, by capitalizing on ‘Popeye.He gets it.

 

 

 

Blanco connected with Martin through social media and, as he explained, things went smoothly from there to place Rivera on that card. “We want to keep Richard busy and then have a breakout year in 2019,Blanco noted. “The beauty of Richard is that he stays busy and works hard, sometimes when he’s training by himself. Boxing is his job and I believe he’s destined for greatness.

 

 

 

Robertson (7-11, 2 KOs), de Lynchburg, Virginie, has fought the likes of unified world junior middleweight champion Jarrett Hurd, former USBA middleweight title holder Luis Arias, and ex- WBC FECARBOX welterweight titlist Thomas LaManna.

 

 

 

Les billets sont au prix de $70.00 (Ringside) et $35.00 (admission générale et disponible à l'achat sur place.

 

 

 

Les portes ouvrent à 6 p.m. ET avec le premier combat prévu pour commencer à 7 p.m. ET.
