Three-Division, Four-Time World Champion Abner Mares Sustains Injury; Forced To Withdraw From Match Against WBA Super Featherweight World Champion Gervonta Davis – Davis Now Set To Take on Former World Champion Hugo Ruiz in SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Main Event Saturday, Febrer 9

Febrer 1, 2019 FNU47 Leave a comment

LOS ANGELES (Gener 30, 2019) -Three-division, four-time champion Abner Mares has been forced to pull out of the WBA Super Featherweight title match against two-time super featherweight champion Gervonta Davis on Saturday, Febrer 9 after suffering an injury while training.

Davis will now defend against former world championHugo Ruizin the main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, amb la cobertura a partir de les 10 p.m. ET / 7 pm. PT from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Ruiz is an all-action brawler who previously picked up a world title at super bantamweight in 2015 and most recently defeated Alberto Guevara in January on the Pacquiao vs. Broner PPV event in a featherweight fight. Ruiz, que posseeix 18 first round knockouts, floored Guevara in the opening minute and cruised to a near-shutout decision victory.

He had originally been slotted for an interim title shot against Jhack Tepora in January before Tepora missed weight, but will now have his chance to fight for a belt against one of the most-feared punchers at 130-pounds on February 9. The 30-year-old from Sinaloa, Mexico stands at five feet, nine inches tall, nearly four inches taller than Davis, and has won three straight fights leading up to this fight.

“I trained for three months to fight a southpaw when I fought in January,” va dir Ruiz. “When the opponent changed, it was hard to adjust in 24 hores. After the fight I immediately went back to the gym, because you never know what’s going to happen in boxing. Estic 100 percent ready to knockout Gervonta Davis.”

“Hugo Ruiz has another opportunity to fight for a world title because he’s demonstrated that he’s devoted to boxing and his career,” Said Sampson Lewkowicz, Ruiz’s Promoter. “He went right back to the gym after his last fight. He’s ready for another great opportunity to be a world champion and he’s going to take advantage of that opportunity.”

Mares injured his right elbow during sparring at the Robert Garcia Boxing Gym in Riverside, Califòrnia. Mares said he had experienced soreness in his elbow following the past two fights, but nothing that had ever given him nor his team concern.

“I’m not going to sugarcoat this. I’m disappointed and devastated that I’ve injured my right elbow in sparring,” Mares said. “This is something that I haven’t had happen to me during my career and the feeling is just horrible. I will be going to see my doctor about this and am prepared to follow whatever recommendations and rehab that gets me back into the ring. I’m healthy, not afraid of doing the work and I will be back. This is a temporary setback. Don’t count me out.”

“Boxing is a sport of brains, passion and physical punishment,” aquests Mars’ trainer Robert Garcia. “When you’re in the ring sparring with talented, top-class sparring partners, the chances of injuries are very high. That was the situation in this case. He was sparring top young fighters and he injured his elbow. He cannot fight like that, especially in a fight against Davis.”

Mares, who has engaged in numerous memorable fights throughout his storied career, was seeking to move up in weight and looking to capture his fifth world title in a fourth weight class.

The event is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, TGB Promotions and Sampson Boxing.

UNDEFEATED SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT RONALD ELLIS LOOKS TO GET NEW ENGLAND SPORTS OFF TO A GREAT START IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION THIS FRIDAY, Febrer 1 VIURE A SHOWTIME

Febrer 1, 2019 FNU47 Leave a comment

Ellis Takes On DeAndre Ware In Main Event Of Tripleheader Beginning Live At 10 p.m. ET/PT From Main Street Armory In Rochester, N.Y.

NOVA YORK – Gener 29, 2019 – Undefeated super middleweight prospect and Massachusetts native Ronald Ellis (15-0-2, 10 KOs) will look to set the tone for a successful sports weekend for New England when he takes on DeAndre Ware (12-1-2, 8 KOs) in the 10-round main event of ShoBox: The New Generation this Friday live on SHOWTIME (10 PM ET/PT).

La lluita, which will take place at The Main Street Armory in Rochester, Nova York, will serve as another opportunity for Ellis, a native of Lynn, Massachusetts.

Ellis, who is a huge fan of his beloved New England Patriots, is eager to earn a big win and then return to his new residence in Los Angeles to see Tom Brady bring home a record sixth Super Bowl title.

“My camp went beautiful. I have had a couple camps in a row, so I was able to work on a lot of things. I learned a lot in this camp,” said Ellis.

The 29-year-old Ellis knows that he has a tough customer in front of him in once-beaten Ware.

“Ware is a solid fighter. He is real tough, and he comes forward. He is not a tall guy, but he makes up with it with his toughness. He is a former football player, and he likes to come forward, so I know he will be there.”

This will be the fourth appearance on ShoBox for Ellis, and he feels that a strong performance will lead him to major fights in the next year.

“Aquest any, He d'executar. Now it’s time to perform. I just need to keep fighting, and if that happens I feel that I will be in line for a title shot in the next year. There is a lot of talent in the division, and now it’s time to knuckle up and all fight each other. I feel that I can compete with the elite of the division.”

When talking about the Patriots, Ellis lights up. He has been a fan of the team since he was a youth growing up in the Boston suburbs.

“It’s is going to be a great game. Irònicament, I moved to Los Angeles to train a couple of years ago, and for the last week all I’ve been hearing about is the Rams. It has been fun going at with the guys in the gym about the game, but I will always represent the Patriots. I am going to get the state of Massachusetts off to a good start on Friday, and the Patriots will have their arms raised on Sunday.”

Ellis and Ware headline a tripleheader that will also feature undefeated lightweights Thomas Mattice (13-0-1, 10 KOs) of Cleveland taking on Will Madera (12-0-2, 6 KOs) d'Albany, New York in an eight-round bout. The broadcast kicks off with a eight-round super featherweight contest between undefeated fighters Abraham Nova (14-0, 10 KOs) d'Albany, New York and Oluwaseun Joshua Wahab (18-0, 11 KOs) d'Accra, Ghana.

Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment en viu, which is promoted by GH3 Promotions in association with Greg Cohen Promotions, tenen un preu de $100 for VIP Ringside, $50 for Preferred Seating, $30 d'Admissió General i $2,000 for VIP Tables. Tickets can be purchased by calling 585-232-3221.

2019 International Women’s Boxing Hall of Fame (IWBHF) Inductees Announced

Gener 29, 2019 FNU47 Leave a comment

Source/IWBHF Press Release
/Bernie McCoy

Gener 27, 2019 PORTLAND, Oregon – (Gener 27, 2019) WBAN is proud to announce the International Women’s Boxing Hall of Fame (IWBHF), classe de 2019.

This sixth annual induction represents a record breaking number of honorees in the history of this signal institution which has recognized and honored those individuals who have, over the history of the sport of Women’s Boxing, contributed to, advocated for and brought esteem and distinction to the sport in and out of the ring.

Included in this year’s class are seven former boxers: Terri Cruz, Melissa Fiorentino, Lisa Holewyne, Carina Moreno, Bridgett Riley, Wendy Rodriquez i Martha Salazar. The Non-Boxer category includes David Àvila, Stephen Blea i Blanca Gutierrez. Pat Emerick and Patricia [Arenós] Martinez-Pino are recipients in the Pioneer Female Boxer and the Posthumous categories, respectivament.

FORMER BOXERS

Terri Cruz compilat a 17-7-2 registre, over a nine-year career (1999-2008), highlighted by winning the IFBA bantamweight crown over highly regarded Heather Percival in 2005. Cruz’s love of and dedication to the sport brought her out of retirement in 2009 to challenge top ranked Alesia Graf for WIBA Flyweight title, losing a close decision and again in 2011 for another bout with unbeaten Susie Ramadan.

Melissa Fiorentino, a 5’1″ dynamo, imbued with the appropriate sobriquet “Fúria”, put up a sterling 17-2 record over a seven-year (2001-08) career during which she stepped in with the top ranked fighters in the featherweight class, including wins over Belinda Laracuente, Esther Schouten, Jaime Clampitt and Cindy Serrano. She capped her career, al gener, 2008, winning the IWBF super featherweight title.

Lisa Holewyne fought to a 25-17-2 record over almost eight years (1998-2006) com boxejador professional. A common boxing dictum states, “you are what your record is” and Holewyne is exactly that. Coming to the ring after a four year stint as a pentathlete at the University of Texas, Holewyne quickly established herself as an “anyone/anywhere” lightweight boxer, fighting Sumya Anani twice (when very few ranked fighters would come within a couple of time zones of that matchup), unbeaten Mary Jo Sanders twice, splitting two fights with the formidable Sunshine Fettkether to mention only some of the top opposition Holewyne sought out during a career that should serve as a signpost for any boxer seeking to do the sport the right way.

Carina Moreno was a standout in the flyweight ranks, lluita, over her ten year career (2003-13), 203 rounds while compiling glittering 23-6 record against the best boxers in this competitive weight class. In addition to wins over Eileen Olszewski, Yessica Bopp and Holly Dunaway, she held the WBC and WIBA minimumweight titles for several years. She finished her career still competing against the best in her class, winning the WBA flyweight title against Susi Kentikian in Germany in December ’12, before losing a close decision to Kentikian seven months later in the same country.

Bridgett Riley fought in the ring, for nine years (1994-03), compilar una 15-3 registre, exactly how she lived life, in perpetual motion. “Busy fighter” might be an understatement, since from the opening bell, Riley had one gear, full speed ahead. She held the IFBA bantamweight title beating Yvonne Trevino over ten rounds in February ’98 and, in possibly her most remembered bout, Riley KO’d Englishwoman, Alicia Lahsen, in June ’98, after surviving an early knockdown. It was her first defense of the IFBA title. Among Riley’s other pursuits in her active life range from martial arts champion to movie stunt person.

Wendy Rodriguez is another of the West Coast fighters who brought the female bantamweight division to the attention of the boxing public. Along with her co-2019 IWBHF inductee, Carina Moreno, Rodriquez set a standard of competitive excellence in the ring that raised the public perception and appreciation of the division. Rodriquez, in her seven year (1999-08) career put up an exemplary 19-4-3. Early on, (Octubre. 2000) she fought an 8 round draw with Margaret Sidoroff and in her penultimate bout, she stepped in with Regina Halmich, (Regina was inducted into the Inaugural Class of the IWBHF in 2014) . Rodriquez finished her career on a high note, revenging an earlier loss to Holly Dunaway in the process of winning the vacant IBA minimum weight crown.

Martha Salazar competed as a professional boxer for 15 (2001-16) any, lluita 18 times and winning 13 of those bouts. It is an unfortunate reflection of the dearth of competition at the female heavyweight level. But for those athletes who posses persistence, combined with a don’t quit attitude, conjuntament amb, el més important, ring talent, the top rung of this division is attainable. Martha Salazar has those qualities in world class supply. Salazar won the WIBF heavyweight title via TKO over Pamela London in November ’04 and finished her career winning the WBC crown in a November ’14 by decision over Tanzee Daniel, before relinquishing the title via a close decision to Alejandra Jimenez in the final bout of her career in March of 2018.

NON-BOXERS

David Àvila is a prominent and widely followed West Coast boxing writer. His linage to the sport comes from his father who fought a number of times at the Olympic Auditorium in the 1950s. Avila began his journalism career as a writer for the LA Times in the 1990s and is currently working for the Riverside (TAL COM) Press Enterprise and La Prensa newspapers. Però, indiscutiblement, it is Avila’s longtime support for and advocacy of the sport of Women’s boxing and it’s athletes that has earned him this well deserved IWBHF honor.

Stephen Blea, Blea’s reputation as a boxing official has been well documented and has led him to be ranked among the finest in the sport. But it is his myriad additional contributions to the benefit to the sport and it’s athletes that makes Blea singular in the sport. He has been a coach at USA Boxing along with providing his referring and judging skill to that organization. He has coached boxing at the Denver Police department. He has managed WBC Cares for the state of Colorado and overlaid those efforts with a long time, full throated support of the sport of Women’s boxing whenever the opportunity arises.

Blanca Gutierrez is proof positive that the promotion of the sport of boxing begins with whole-hearted empathy, and few promoters in the sport of Women’s boxing can match the personal connection and caring that Gutierrez brings to the sport and it’s athletes. Her father, Javier, was a professional boxer in Mexico and and Gutierrez’s interest and love for the sport came early and fervent. She is the driving force behind Beautiful Brawlers, a West Coast promotional powerhouse, that continues as a prime force behind the recent resurgence in the sport of female boxing.

David Avila and Stephen Blea are the second and third males to be inducted into the IWBHF.

PIONEER FEMALE BOXER

Pat Emerick reduces her outlook on the sport of boxing to it’s most basic, “put one foot in front of the other and be prepared.” If only getting a chance to climb through the ropes was that easy for a female in the middle of the previous century. No ho va ser. Emerick’s opportunities were essentially limited to her hometown, South Bend, IN, on, at 5’4″, 123lliura, after losing her first bout, she reeled off 18 victòries consecutives, highlighted by a TKO win over Jo Ann Hagan in November ’54 before 4,000 fans in Council Bluffs, IA., winning the Ladies World Boxing Association Championship. Emerick becomes the second oldest living IWBHF Pioneer Boxer inductee, born five months after Year 1 honoree Barbara Buttrick.

POSTHUMOUS 2019 INDUCTEE

Patricia “Arenós” Martinez-Pino, who passed away in September of last year, was a longtime leading advocate for the sport of Women’s boxing in this country. She worked tirelessly within the sport, with the AIBA to open up opportunities for females as referees and judges and served with U S Boxing as President (Hispanic), as well as terms as Vice President and Secretary. Her untiring efforts in support of and improving conditions and opportunities for women in the sport will be well remembered and sorely missed and are best described by her co-inductee, Stephen Blea, “Sandy broke down barriers and achieved accolades no woman had achieved in this sport.”

As previously noted, la 2019 IWBHF Class of Inductees is the largest, and quite possibly, the most diverse, in the six year history of the Hall, conceived and formulated in 2014 by Sue Fox, founder and publisher of Women’s Boxing Archive Network (AMB). Fox envisioned the Hall as a needed addition to the boxing community, a way of honoring those, dins i fora de l'anell de, upon whose athleticism, support and advocacy for the sport of Women’s Boxing continues to stand on and progress.

An induction ceremony for the 2019 inductee class is being discussed and details will be announced forthcoming.

Això és el que els combatents havien de dir dimecres:

**KEITH Thurman**

“We’re back in Brooklyn, it’s been a long time and I’m happy. I feel slim and trim. Everything is great headed into Saturday.

“I had a lot of ups and downs, but once we got into camp, we did what we had to do. We slowly improved each day and now we’re ready. Va ser un començament lent, but we’re going to be finishing strong on Saturday.

“When I’m outside of the ring, I’m not the jealous type watching other people perform. But I feel better when I’m here living out my dream. These past weeks, I have just felt so good. I feel fantastic and ready to perform. I’m going to be an active fighter and one of the best welterweights in the world today.

“My ranking, my ‘0’ and my accomplishments haven’t gone anywhere. I’ve been out of sight and out of mind for a little, però estic de tornada ara. You can’t block a star from shining. We’re in the galaxy and shining bright.

“I’m definitely interested in a big unification fight with Errol Spence Jr. When I first met Errol at MGM Grand years ago, I told him that it’s nice to meet him and I can’t wait to get in there and scrap it out. I’m humble, but I’m also honest. I’m a man of my word. It doesn’t matter how many years ago that I said it, but from that day to this day, it’s a true statement.”

**JOSESITO LOPEZ**

“I’m confident in my abilities. Talk is cheap to me. What other people say makes no difference to me. I’ve come here to do a job and I’m going to do it.

“I know that I have a tough task ahead of me, but I also know that I can do it. I can pass this test. Estic a punt per a això. We’ve prepared right and everything is lined up. We worked hard for 10 weeks and now it’s time.

“It’s hard to say if Keith will be my toughest opponent, but he definitely has a great resume and is a great champion. I’ve fought some great guys but I’m taking this as the most important fight of my career.

“I think that since I started working with Robert Garcia, all of my skills are on par with Keith Thurman. El més important, I’m a much smarter fighter than I’ve ever been. I’m always going to be courageous in the ring, but we’ve developed a game plan where I take less unnecessary risks.

“The most important thing in my game plan is for me to dictate the pace. I need to control the ring throughout the fight. I’m prepared for however he brings the fight.”

**ADAM Kownacka**

“It’s going to be a sea of red and white on Saturday. The Polish fans are unbelievable and I can’t wait to go out there and get a knockout for them.

“I think I’ve improved my speed heading into this fight. Em sento molt bé. It’s been a long camp leading up to this huge card. I have to come out at my top condition. I made a slight statement against Charles Martin, and I’m going to make a bigger one against Gerald Washington.

“I definitely want to outdo the performances of Deontay Wilder and my friend Jarrell Miller against Washington. I want to have bragging rights. I want that knockout.

“Washington has fought contenders, good fighters and a guy I lost to in the amateurs in Nagy Aguilera. He’s proven that he’s game, and I’m expecting the best version of him. Estaré preparat.

“Boxing is a skill, not a bodybuilding contest. I proved my conditioning last fight by throwing 70 perfora una ronda. I’m in ever better shape right and I feel great.”

**Gerald Washington**

“We know where we want to be and we know this is a stepping stone to getting back there. I have to take the hard road and this is it. We’re prepared, we’re ready and I’m looking forward to January 26.

“Any of the top heavyweights would be great to fight, però ho estic prenent una baralla a la vegada. This is going to be an action-packed fight.

“I have the total package. We’ll see everything I learned from my last fights and see if it makes a difference now.

“I know that Kownacki is going to come forward. I know what kind of fighter he is. No he vingut aquí a perdre. I came here to win and get back on the right track and into contention to win the heavyweight title.

“Els estils fan baralles. I was doing very well in the Deontay Wilder fight, similar to what Tyson Fury was doing. This is a different type of fight. You’re going to see my skills come to life to contain this man.”

**CLAUDIO MARRERO**

“We went through a very serious, 10-week camp because we know that we’re here to fight a very strong fighter. I’ve taken everything to the fullest each day with intense work in training camp. Estic a punt.

“We respect our opponent, but he’s coming to our weight division. I’ve been making this weight ever since I was a pro. En la seva última baralla, he was dropped by Oscar Escandon, who’s a very good fighter, but he’s a smaller guy.

“We believe that this is the beginning of something beautiful. I’m going to be at the top of the rankings after this fight. We believe that winning this fight is going to take us back to the top level.

“I understand that this is my time to shine. I’m more focused and dedicated than I’ve ever been and it’s going to show in the ring on Saturday night.”

**TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYA**

“I feel good and strong. I’ve had a great camp and I’m ready for Saturday night. I’m going to give a great show for the fans in my Brooklyn debut.

“I put everything into camp and I’m going to show it in the ring on Saturday night. I’m here to win and show off my athleticism. I believe I can do everything in the ring.

“Claudio Marrero is a good tough contender who’s been at this level for quite some time. He’s a good boxer who can punch, so we prepared for everything. He may have more pro experience, but I believe I have more boxing experience than Marrero. I’ve seen everything throughout the world.

“Now it’s just a matter of cultivating my skills and experience into becoming a world championship fighter. In this fight, I’m going to dictate the style of the fight. It’s going to go down on my terms.”

**CHRIS COLBERT**

“I’m going to go out there and dominate like I always do. I don’t have any resolutions for 2019. I’m just going to do the same thing and keep being great.

“New year, same me. I’m out here chasing greatness. I’m looking to keep winning and work my way to a world title. I’m not just talk, I’m the real deal.

“I don’t believe that you can be rushed into a world title fight. Estic a punt. I don’t care if I’m considered a prospect for a contender, I’m just going to show everyone that I’m no fluke. I do this differently.

“I always fight for a cause and this time I’ve got my hair dyed pink for breast cancer awareness. It’s for my mom and all of the other survivors and people going through this.”

BADOU JACK TALKS MARCUS BROWNE FIGHT, THE CUT THAT BROKE THE INTERNET & UPCOMING MISSION TO THE MIDDLE EAST

Gener 25, 2019 FNU47 Leave a comment

***Two-Division World Champion Leaves for International Tour and Goodwill Mission on Behalf of Badou Jack Foundation***

***Visita*** www.BadouJackFoundation.org for more info

**LAS VEGAS** (Gener 23, 2019) – Although two-division world champion **Badou Jack** dropped a decision Saturday night to fellow light heavyweight Marcus Browne, it was the courage and tenacity that he showed in fighting through what some are calling one of the worst cuts in boxing history that has had the sports world buzzing. Jack has since made it clear that his tenacity and heart is motivated by those who benefit from the work of the Badou Jack Foundation. Jack is set to embark on a goodwill mission to the Middle East today as he couldn’t wait to continue his charitable efforts overseas.

His international itinerary includes trips to the Zaatari and Baqaa Refugee Camps in Jordan and business meetings Dubai and London.

“I don’t just fight for myself, I fight for the refugee children and I was thinking of them,” said Jack. “They come from war and often don’t have any parents, so what’s a scratch on my forehead? They are going through something much worse. You have to keep fighting.”

While many were concerned with the blood that gushed from Jack’s cut round after round, the veteran fighter was able to block it out and continued to fight until the final bell. Although he was taken to the hospital immediately following the fight, Jack was unfazed by the severity of the cut, which was sewn up with nearly 100 punts de sutura.

"Em sento molt bé ara mateix. Things like that can just happen in the ring,” said Jack. “It was just some blood. The cut was only bothering me because I couldn’t see too well, but I was going to keep fighting no matter what. This isn’t just any other sport; its boxing. You have to fight through it.”

And fight through he has.

“I was definitely going to make my run like I have in the past,” said Jack. “I think most people in boxing know that this would have been a totally different fight. A mi, it’s not a big injury. I’m fighting for a bigger cause. Those refugees aren’t going to quit, so I sure wasn’t going to either.”

L'estrella en ascens ràpid fa un moviment sense por en just VUITENA lluita professional per la via ràpida cap al títol mundial

Stiverne diu que serà el malson de Joyce quan queda noquejat

El llegendari promotor Don King promet a 'Re Joyce' quan Stiverne recrea la victòria de McCall sobre Lewis a Londres

Londres(23 Gener 2019) Poxon Sports i PBC estan encantats d'anunciar aquesta sensació de pes pesat Joe Joyce defensarà el seu títol de la Commonwealth en la prova més gran de la seva carrera invicta quan fa un salt gegantí per enfrontar-se a l'antic WBC El campió del món Bermane Stiverne el dissabte 23 de febrer a The O2, exclusivament en directe a la taquilla d'ITV.

Joyce vs. Stiverne, promogut per Poxon Sports en associació amb Ringstar Sports i Don King Produccions, apareixerà al costat del retorn de l'ex IBF World El campió de pes ploma Lee Selby com un dels principals suports concursos en un espectacle ple d'acció, encapçalat amb l'emocionant tot britànic xoc entre els ferotges rivals James DeGale i Chris Eubank Jr.

El "Juggernaut" de 6 peus i 6 polzades de Putney, Sud-oest de Londres, ha destruït els set dels seus oponents des d'aleshores professional a l'octubre 2017 després de conquerir la medalla de plata a la Jocs Olímpics de Rio i s'ha destacat com un dels talents més temuts la divisió de pes pesat.

És una prova monumental perquè Joyce s'enfrontés a un antic campió del món només en la seva vuitena lluita, el sòlid com una roca i un martell colpejant Stiverne, nascut a Mont-real, Canadà, de Ascendència haitiana i amb seu a Las Vegas, ha lluitat contra alguns dels més grans i millor de la divisió, incloent Deontay Wilder i Chris Arreola.

La lluita ha afegit malament sang vessada com a resultat d'una sessió de sparring entre Joyce i Stiverne que Joyce es va enfadar pels comentaris de Stiverne en una entrevista posterior quan va dir que va portar Joyce a l'escola.

va dir la Joyce, “Ho tenia respecte per Bermane Stiverne. Vam lluitar a Las Vegas; va dir que em va portar escola en una entrevista, etc, es va posar lleig i va fer que aquesta baralla succeís. ho vaig intentar ser respectuós amb ell, però és groller i no en tenia res. Ell és un antic campió del món que ha marxat 12 ronda amb Deontay Wilder i donarà jo un autèntic repte; però el meu motor i la meva potència seran massa per a ell, a fet que hauria de ser conscient!"

la de Joyce el promotor Richard Schaefer, President i conseller delegat de RingStar Sports, dit, "Després de només set baralles, Joe Joyce s'ha convertit en el número cinc del rànquing Pes pesat al món. Però la manera espectacular en què ho ha guanyat tot de les seves set baralles per nocaut l'han convertit en el favorit número u dels fans la divisió de pes pesat. Enfrontant-se a l'excampió del món pesat Stiverne demostra que cap repte és massa gran per a Joe mentre continua marxant cap al Campionat del Món de pes pesat. En poques paraules: Joe Joyce ho té convertir-se en una televisió obligada, així que assegureu-vos de sintonitzar el 23 de febrer o veniu i veure'l en directe a l'O2 de Londres!"

Stiverne DiRita, "Vaig dir el meu promotor Don King per aconseguir-me qualsevol home a la terra i lluitaré pel dret per demostrar-me al món. Aleshores sona el telèfon, és Don, em diu Joe Joyce – un boxejador amb només set combats – accepta conèixer-me! ‘Set combats?’. Set baralles i té la gosadia de boxejar-me? m'he aturat Chris Arreola, Ray Austin, l'aleshores invicte Kerston Manswell – i un boxejador amb set baralles em vol boxejar?!.Li vaig dir a Don: Signa això, pren-ho, agafa'l,'Estic preparat. Set baralles – i ell vol caixa em? Per a mi és un somni fet realitat – però per a Joyce serà un malson. Noquejaré a Joe Joyce i el passaré per KO Anthony Josuè. Estic preparat i preparat. L'autèntic Bermane Stiverne serà allà el 23 de febrer i noquejarà a Joe Joyce de camí a recuperant la meva corona de pes pesat".

Stiverne és llegendari promotor Don King, addicional, "És amb el meu gran plaer que Don King Productions pot anunciar el nostre retorn a Jolly Old England – el 'bressol de Boxa” on el meu gegant pugilístic – l'antic campió de pes pesat de la World Bermane Stiverne comença la seva remuntada a costa del Giant Joe Joyce. Malauradament, per als fans locals de Joe no hi haurà 're Joycing’ – com la meva vegada – i el futur campió Bermane Stiverne matarà a Joyce igual St. George va fer el drac d'antic. Però no importa, recollirem el peces i portar de tornada la Joyce tal com jo he portat i he ajudat a construir moltes a futur junts. Recordo quan vaig venir aquí amb Oliver McCall i ho era no va donar cap oportunitat contra Lennox Lewis. Llavors el desfavorit es va convertir en el gos superior quan Oliver va fer KO al campió invicte anteriorment i vam anar a casa amb el títol. La història es repetirà el 23 de febrer quan Bermane envia un altre anglès invicte a derrotar. Ara reequipat, ressuscitat, renovat, Bermane rejovenit i compromès Stiverne ressuscitarà la seva carrera el 23 de febrer quan el 'Lord of Anella” aixafa el “Senyor del món” – 'Juggernaut” Joyce en la seva inexorable marxa per recuperar el campionat de pes pesat de la món. Beneïu tots els fans britànics, Déu salvi la reina – però el cel ajudi a Joe Joyce! Ens veiem el 23 de febrer.”

Pes Pesat Mundial del CMB El campió Deontay Wilder també va avançar els seus pensaments sobre el un partit intrigant, ell va dir, “Joe Joyce serà una bona prova per a ell (Stiverne). He vist Joe Joyce abans. Ell és un bon boxejador. Joe Joyce va lluitar Joe Hanks a la meva fitxa amb Tyson Fury, però no vaig tenir l'oportunitat de veure'l lluita aquella nit. Però tinc ganes de veure'l contra Stiverne.”

Richard Poxon, Regne Unit Promotor de PBC, dit, "Conec Joe dels seus dies d'aficionat a Sheffield. El seu èxit als Jocs Olímpics no em va sorprendre gens. Ha fet una bona transició als professionals ara i és evident que té pressa. La divisió de pes pesat és la única que tothom està mirant de nou i espero plenament que Joe estigui al punt l'acció l'any vinent. Enfrontant-se a un antic campió del món del CMB només la teva vuitena lluita mostra clarament quines són les ambicions de Joe".

Des que es va embarcar en el seu carrera professional en la seva recerca per convertir-se en campió mundial de pes pesat, el en silenci parlat Joyce ha deixat que els seus punys destructius parlin per fer-se atrevit declaracions per fer asseure el món de la boxa i prendre nota de l'augment ràpid estrella.

A l'octubre 2017 ell va sorprendre els crítics quan va optar per lluitar contra l'endurit antic títol britànic el desafiador Ian Lewison, que acabava d'ampliar el gran cop de puny Dillian Whyte a deu rondes, pel seu debut professional i el va colpejar en vuit rondes.

Després només en el seu quart lluitar només amb 12 ronda sota el seu cinturó i als set mesos de girar pro, Joyce va enderrocar el campió de pes pesat de la Commonwealth Lenroy Thomas només dues rondes – establint un nou rècord pel boxejador de pes pesat per guanyar el Cinturó de la Commonwealth.

En la seva última baralla, Els aficionats a les baralles nord-americanes van tenir un breu tast del que tracta l'estrella britànica quan va derrotar a Joe Hanks en una ronda per guanyar el títol continental de l'AMB al Staples Center de Los Angeles en fer el seu brillant debut als Estats Units.

oyce, ara classificat #5 en el món per l'AMB i progressant ràpidament cap a un tir al títol mundial, cares Sens dubte, la seva carrera professional més severa fins ara contra la gran experiència i l'haití igualment important amb seu a Las Vegas que ha noquejat 21 opositors seus 25 guanya en el seu 29 lluitar carrera.

Stiverne va ocupar anteriorment la corona del CMB durant dos anys després de derrotar a Chris Arreola per punts a l'abril 2013 to win the title and then in the rematch destroying him inside six rounds in the first defence of the title in May 2014.

The rock solid Stiverne then pushed the dynamite-punching Deontay Wilder the full twelve round distance in the next defence of his WBC World Heavyweight title clash in January 2015. Stiverne became the first man to take Wilder beyond who at that point had obliterated all his opponents inside four rounds. In the rematch nearly three years later, Stiverne stepped in at the last minute when Wilder’s original opponent Luis Ortiz failed a drugs test and due to his inactivity was stopped in a round.

Stiverne is now looking to return to the elite heavyweight mix and a victory over Joyce would propel him back into the limelight and on course towards a potential world title opportunity.

Thurman will return to action on January 26 from a long injury layoff after his most recent fight saw him unify welterweight titles by defeating Danny Garcia in March 2017 Barclays Center. Here is what Thurman had to say about his return, Josesito Lopez and more from his training camp at the St. Pete Boxing Club in St. Petersburg, Florida:

How has training camp been going? Have there been any adjustments because of the injury?

“Training camp has been going well. It was a little bit of a slow start after so many months out of the ring, but I’m feeling great as we get closer to the fight. I’m starting to feel more and more like a world-class athlete again. It’s a good feeling working this hard and it reminds me what it’ll take to continue being the champion.”

Do you anticipate any ring rust? Do you think it will be more difficult to feel like yourself physically in the ring, or mentally trusting the injury is healed?

“I don’t think ring rust will be an issue. The only thing that even if this may not be the best Keith Thurman that people have ever seen, we’re focused on getting better and much stronger with each fight. But make no mistake, people will see one of the best welterweights in the world on January 26 at Barclays Center.”

When did you start to feel like you were turning the corner physically? Were you ever worried you wouldn’t be healthy enough to fight?

“You always have to be a little worried about new injuries. There’s nothing wrong with your car until the day it decides to break down. So at the end of the day, it’s always in the back of my mind. I run a lot of miles, so I wonder about my knees. I wonder about my shoulders also. Athletes and their bodies go through a lot of things. But here I go getting right back into things and I’m totally ready to showcase my talents on January 26.”

What kind of challenges does Josesito pose? What makes him a difficult opponent for you coming off a layoff?

“Josesito is experienced. He’s a busy fighter with good reach. He likes to mix it up and force his opponents to fight. He also has a new coach in Robert Garcia now, and I know he has a lot of confidence in his abilities. Josesito has been through ups and downs in his career, but he’s back on an upswing at the moment. Then he pinpointed me and called me out. So I’m looking forward to the challenge.”

What are you looking to show in this fight? How do you control your emotions and make sure you don’t press too much?

“I’m going to show my versatility in the ring. I’m going to show Josesito what it’s like to be in the ring with me. He might think it’s just all about my power, but I’ll show him what none of his sparring partners could. I’m going to show everyone the full package of skills I bring and enjoy every second of it.”

How do you see this fight looking stylistically?

“I like to let my opponent show me how the fight is going to go. I’ve thought many times that my opponents would do something specific, but then they do something totally different in the moment.

“I’m just prepared for any version of Josesito. I’m ready for him to come at me with punches in bunches, but I’m also ready if he wants to try box more and work behind his jab. I don’t think there’s anything that he’s going to do that I won’t be able to dominate. I’m going to move, trade on the inside, whatever it takes and we’ll see which road to victory looks the easiest.”

UNDEFEATED SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT PROSPECTS SHOHJAHON ERGASHEV AND MYKAL FOX TO HEADLINE SHOBOX: LA NOVA GENERACIÓ EL DIVENDRES, Febrer 15 VIURE A SHOWTIME

Gener 18, 2019 FNU47 Leave a comment

NOVA YORK - Gener 16, 2019 – A 10-round clash between undefeated super lightweight prospects will headline ShoBox: La Nova Generació when Uzbekistan’s power-puncher Shohjahon Ergashev takes on Mykal Fox Friday, Febrer 15 live on SHOWTIME from Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane, Maig.

The second of two February editions of the prospect developmental series will feature four fighters with a combined record of 71 wins against just one loss. Undefeated super middleweight prospect Ronald Ellis will take on DeAndre Ware headlines a three-fightShoBoxtelecast on February 1.

In the February 15 co-featured fight, 28-anys d'edatShoBox veteran Jesse Angel Hernandez returns to face WBO No. 4-ranked Thomas Ward in what will be the toughest test of his career in a 10-round super bantamweight bout.

“Shohjahon Ergashev is one of the hardest punchers in all of boxing. He will be facing a challenge in the undefeated skilled, determined fighter in Mykal Fox. A great fight the winner of which will cement himself as one of the best in the Jr. Welterweight division,” said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions. “The co main event is one of the best fights in the super bantamweight division between two proven world title contenders. A real cross roads fight with lots on the line for the winner to emerge as the new dominant name in the talent packed super Bantamweight division.”

The 27-year-old Ergashev (15-0, 14 KOs) is a former member of the Uzbek national team where he won 202 de la seva 216 amateur bouts. A decorated amateur, Ergashev owns a win over Uzbekistan’s Shakhram Giyasov, a silver medalist in the welterweight division at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Ergashev, who started his pro career by registering 11 consecutive knockouts, made hisShoBox debut in January 2018, handing then-unbeaten and top-10 ranked 140-pound prospect Sonny Fredrickson the only loss of his career with a third-round TKO. The southpaw slugger, who was named one of ESPN’s top prospects of 2018, trains in Detroit under Javan “Sugar” Hill Steward and Rick Phillips at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit.

“I’m very excited to fight on SHOWTIME again,” said Ergashev. “Everyone says Mykal Fox is my toughest opponent to date, but that doesn’t concern me. It actually excites me because when I knock him out, just like I knocked out Sonny Fredrickson, all of the champions in my weight class will know I am coming for them soon. It’s going to be Shoh-time in 2019!"

A diferència del seu oponent, Guineu, 23, had a rocky amateur journey amassing 40 victòries i 60 losses—two of his wins came over undefeated top prospect Lamont Roach. Guineu, 6-peu 3 ½-inches from Forestville, Md., admitted that he was not disciplined and fully committed to the sweet science in his teenage years, but once he turned pro in 2014 everything changed and boxing became his way of life. Des de llavors, he has defeated all of his 19 oponents, five by way of knockout. Guineu, who is promoted by King Promotions, owns victories over the likes of former world champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley, Ricardo Garcia and Anthony Mercado.

Fox comes from a family of boxers. He is trained by his father Troy and his older brother and formerShoBox fighter Alantez (24-1-1, 11 KOs) is a 160-pound prospect whose only defeat came by the hands of Demetrius Andrade.

“It’s been a dream of mine to fight onShoBox. It has catapulted the careers of some of my favorite fighters,", va dir Fox, who is making his debut on the series. “I’m hoping it will catapult my career too.

“My opponent is a good fighter. He has good feet, good speed and great power. This is going to be a fight that can potentially steal the show. I look forward to seeing how our styles matched up.”

Hernández (12-1, 7 KOs) broke onto the scene in 2017 with back-to-back wins over previously undefeated, top-15 ranked fighters onShoBox– a unanimous decision over Glenn Dezurn and a fifth-round TKO of Vladimir Tikhonov. Hernandez followed up those performances with a split-decision over Ernesto Garza in January 2018. The 28-year-old Hernandez, the youngest of 15 nens, va ser 73-6 as an amateur and took five years off from boxing between 2009 i 2014 to work construction jobs in his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas.

“On February 15, fans can expect to see the best performance from Jesse Hernandez yet,” said Hernandez, who will be making his fourth appearance onShoBox. “It’s been a long time coming and I won’t let this opportunity pass me. A win over Thomas Ward will definitely boost my career and hopefully lead to a world title shot. I know I will have all eyes on me on national television, I must impress. I believe the bantamweight division is mine for the taking. So I will go head and take what’s rightfully mine.”

Ward hails from County Durham in North East England, where he compiled an amateur record of 60 victòries, just four losses. The 24-year-old turned professional in 2012 a l'edat de 17 i per 2017, havia guanyat 20 straight fights and the British super bantamweight title. Actualment ocupa el núm. 4 by the WBO, Ward hopes a win in his U.S. debut will set him up for a world title shot.

“This is a really good fight,"Va dir Ward. “I’m looking forward to it and a win will put me in place for a world title fight, which is exactly what I want. It’s great to be boxing on SHOWTIME, I can’t wait and I hope for many more opportunities to be fighting on the network in the future.”

Barry Tompkins trucarà alShoBox action from ringside with Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. The executive producer is Gordon Hall with Richard Gaughan producing and Rick Phillips directing.

Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment en viu, which is promoted by Salita Promotions, will go on sale on Friday, Gener 18^º a 10 a.m. ET and are priced at $110, $75, $60, $45 and $25.
