Palicte and Martinez will continue a Philippines-Puerto Rico boxing rivalry that dates back many years, можда, означен 2009 окршај између Манни Пацкуиао и Мигел Цотто, in which the fabulous Filipino defeated the Puerto Rican warrior by way of a 12тх round technical knockout. It marks the first time Jones and Cotto, два of the greatest boxers of all-time, will be in opposite corners, in terms of competing fighters they promote, односно, Palicte and Martinez. “Having our new partnership with Viejas Casino & Resort allows us to host these great fights,” Рои Јонес Јр.

Many at ringside felt that Palicte should have won the Filipino showdown, based on his relentless pressure and considerably higher activity rate, throwing 300-plus more punches than Nietes. Palicte is also ranked No. 9 in independent world ratings by Прстен magazine. Мартинез (WBO No, 4), who captured the vacant WBO North American Boxing Organization (NABO) Championship on November 16, 2017, нокаутирао је Jesus Martinez (23-2-1, 11 КОс) in Cancun Mexico, има also held the World Boxing Council Latino and WBC USNBC Silver круна. “I want to thank God for this great opportunity,” Martinez commented. “Хвала, Miguel Cotto and the WBO.

Лондон(Децембар 20, 2018) – Top-rated heavyweight contenders Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora took part in the final press conference before their highly anticipated rematch Saturday, Децембар 22 ливе он СХОВТИМЕ у 5:00 п.м. ET/2:00 п.м. PT from The O2 in London.
Whyte (24-1, 17 КОс) and Chisora (29-8, 21 КОс) 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 [Деонтаи] Вилдер. 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.
Women’s World Champion Hanna Gabriels Returns to Defend Against Sarah Dwyer on January 26
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 КОс) will return to her homeland to face Australia’s Sarah Dwyer on Saturday, Јануар 26, at the Avenida Escazu in San Jose, Costa Rica.
The 10-round battle will be in defense of Gabriels’ WBA Super Welterweight Championship.
Dwyer (3-4-2, 1 КО) 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. подела. We want to raise women’s boxing to new heights and eventually rematch Claressa and fight (women’s unified welterweight champion) цецилиа Браекхус. 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. Јануар 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. Bryan Vasquez, мој муж, Hector Fernandez de Cordova, мој менаџер, 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, Цалиф., 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.
The 29-year-old, 6-foot-1-inch Mendez has a record of 19-3-2 са девет нокаута, including a mark of 12-1-1 for his past 14 крајеви.
Мендес, 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; уместо тога, 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’ (Генадиј Головкин) several times,” says Mendez, “and he says, ‘Boxing is not a game.’ When I sparred with Andre Ward he always said to be ruthless in the ring.
I’m not scared or nervous of anyone,” says Mendez. “I don’t care if it’s King Kong. I’m ready to fight anyone, and now I’ll do it in the cage.
“When ICB came along I immediately saw it was a good fit for me,” says Mendez. “I’m a fighter, not a pitty-pat, and when I impose my size on opponents, this will be perfect for me.
“This is an opportunity for a fighter like me,” says Mendez. “I can and will use this as a platform to grow. I’m excited about it.”
Mendez offers specifics why the ICB cage, a 24-foot hexagon trademarked “The Fight Zone,” is to his liking.
“Six corners, not just four, is to my advantage,” says Mendez. “There’s more places to trap people. The ‘Fight Zone’ is all about angles and cutting off the cage.”
It took Fulton almost two years to get the cage designed, built, patented and approved by boxing and athletic commissions within the United States, including the state of Nevada.
An 18-year veteran promoter of the sport, Фултон, 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.

„Постоји велики ниво ишчекивања и интрига око повратка ринга шампиона у полутешкој категорији Кеитха Тхурмана, и Јосесито Лопез ће сигурно пружити неке одговоре о томе где је Тхурман након скоро две године ван ринга,’’ Рекао је Том Браун, Председник ТГБ Промоције. „Адам Ковнацки и Гералд Васхингтон имају прилику да покажу тачно где се налазе у оживљеној тешкој категорији. Обојица су велики тешкаши који воле да бацају ударце. Ниамбаиар и Марреро загарантовано ће додати ватромет у већ узбудљиву емисију. То је врста ноћи која ће имати фанове на ивици својих места. ''
„Говорим о боксу навијачи свуда када кажем да нестрпљиво очекујемо повратак Кеитха Тхурмана до прстена,”Рекао је Бретт Иормарк, Извршни директор компаније БСЕ Глобал. „Доживео је сјајно успех у Барцлаис Центер, па приличи да ће повести јаку годину програмирања БРООКЛИН БОКС-а у 2019. Такође се радујем што ћу видети локалне омиљени Адам Ковначки, који увек долази са јаким контингентом гласних навијачи. “
Турман (28-0, 22 КОс) направио стални успон у полутешкој категорији и достигао врхунац тешким победама над Схавном Портером и Даннијем Гарциаом у Барцлаис Центер,од којих му је овај други уз ВБА титулу донео и ВБЦ круну. Али низ повреда га је уклонио готово две године, доводећи у питање његово место међу елитама од 147 килограма. Тридесетогодишњи Тхурман, који је и даље актуелни ВБА шампион у полутешкој категорији, жели да поврати свој првокласни статус у дивизији почев од Лопеза.
Турман, који живи и тренира у Цлеарватер-у, Флорида, улази у ринг први пут од победе подељене одлуке Гарциа у марту 4, 2017.
„Изузетно сам узбуђена што сам се вратила у ринг,’’ Рекао је Турман. „Мало ме нервира с обзиром на слободно време и зато што желим да имам изванредне перформансе. Желим више да причам рукама више од речи и утишам оне неуобичајене који мисле да је Кеитх Тхурман изгубио страст и вештине у боксу. Верујем да сам најбоља велтер категорија у дивизији и на свету и надам се да ћу то показати у јануару 26 нокаутом. У најбољим борбама у полутешкој категорији учествовао је Кит Тхурман и тако ће бити и даље. Радујем се што ћу имати огромну годину и показати зашто сам број један. “
34-годишња Лопез(36-7, 19 КОс) покушава да осујети Тхурманове планове да поврати своју високу позицију у дивизији од 147 килограма. Надимак „Тхе Риверсиде Роцки“ због свог стила све акције, Риверсиде, Родом из Калифорније закорачио је у ринг против неких од најбољих боксера ове генерације. Забележио је три узастопне победе откако је претрпео ТКО пораз од бившег првака у полутешкој категорији Андре Берта 2015. Лопез је једногласно победио одлуком над претходно непобеђеним Мигуелом Црузом у априлу 28 уживо на ФОКС-у.
„Приближавам се овој борби не остављајући камен на камену док се припремам за наступ на том светском првенству,’’ Рекао је Лопез. „Организовао сам тренинг камп са надморском висином, јурећи кокоши,цепање дрва – стварно улагање у посао. Генерално, отпуштање ће утицати на њега и могло би доћи до мало оклевања, али видећемо да дођемо у ноћ борбе. Побољшања која сам направио са Робертом Гарсијом последњих неколико година ће доћи на ред. Ојачали су моје квалитете и једва чекам да то покажем свету. "
Ковнацки (18-0, 14 КОс) се попео кроз тешке категорије са чврстим стилом тучњаве који је створио низ победа у нокауту и узбудљивих обрачуна. Његов низ нокаута завршио се у четири у последњој борби, када је у септембру постигао једногласну победу над бившим прваком у тешкој категорији Цхарлесом Мартином 8. Ковнацки, који је рођен у Ломжи, Пољска и сада живи у Бруклину, бориће се у Барцлаис Центер-у трећи пут заредом и осми пут укупно.
„Живот у Бруклину ми је ово као домаћа утакмица,”Рекао је Ковначки.” Имао сам неке од својих најбољих наступа у Барцлаис Центер-у и једва чекам да закорачим у ринг против Гералда Васхингтона и представим се на ПБЦ-у на ФОКС-у. Не постоји ништа боље да започнемо годину него нокаутом и то је оно што планирам да урадим у јануару 26 у Барцлаис Центер. Надам се да ће сви моји фанови изаћи као и увек и да ће арена бити у белом и црвеном. ''
Вашингтон (19-2-1, 12 КОс) је 6-метарски-тешкаш који је успео да искористи своју атлетску способност да се пробије поред већине противника са којима се суочава. Та атлетичност ће представљати изазов за Ковнацког, који би могао да се суочи са најтежом борбом у каријери.36-годишњи Вашингтон из Валлејоа, California is a former college football standout at the University of Southern California and a U.S. Navy veteran who has challenged Deontay Wilder for his championship. He is coming off a unanimous decision victory over John Wesley Nofire in his last fight on June 10.
“I can’t wait to show everything I’ve been working on,’’ said Washington, “Boxing is a sport of truth. It brings the truth to light and it exposed my truth and what I needed to work on. You have to be able to adjust and be comfortable in every situation. You have to be ready for what’s to come. I’m expecting a hard fight from him. He’s a bruiser. He’s tough and he loves to fight. He’s in his hometown and he’s ready and he’s going to bring it, but I’m ready to position myself to fight again for a world title.’’
Nyambayar (10-0, 9КОс) has made a rapid ascent through the talent-laden featherweight division with precision and power.

Утичница (22-1-3, 13 КОс) has fought twice at light heavyweight since relinquishing his super middleweight world title to campaign at 175 фунти. The 35-year-old, who was born in Stockholm, Шведска, represented his father’s Gambia in the 2008 Olympics and now lives in Las Vegas. Jack won the super middleweight world title with a majority decision against Anthony Dirrell in 2015 and successfully defended the title three times before he relinquished the belt following a hard-fought majority draw against James DeGale in one 2017’s best fights. In his first bout at 175 фунти, Jack stopped Nathan Cleverly to pick up the WBA light heavyweight title before fighting to a majority draw against Adonis Stevenson in his last fight on May 19.
“I’m looking forward to getting back onto another big stage to perform for my fans across the globe and prove I am one of the best fighters in the world,” said Jack. “I plan to show off my skills with a dominating performance on January 19. I always want to fight the best, and he’s the best that’s available right now. I’m always 100 percent ready and I’m going into this fight stronger, faster and with more experience than ever before.”
The 28-year-old Browne (22-0, 16 КОс) will be taking a step up to face an elite opponent when he battles Jack. Члан од 2012 У.С. Olympic boxing team, Browne moved up the contender ladder in the 175-pound division with brute force and power, scoring three straight knockout victories against Thomas Williams, Јр., Sean Monaghan and Francy Ntetu. Бровне, who was born and raised in Staten Island, НИ, scored a unanimous decision victory over Lenin Castillo in his last fight on August 4.
“This is really an honor and a privilege to have an opportunity to showcase my talents on a big time pay-per-view card featuring Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner,” Browne said. “Badou Jack is a championship-caliber fighter and one of the toughest guys you can fight in the light heavyweight division. I’m ready for the step up in competition and focused on being a household name in the sport sooner rather than later.”
Одгајивачница зечева (16-2, 4 КОс) is looking to return to the world championship ranks with a victory over Oubaali. The 31-year-old became the first three-time Olympic boxer from the U.S. when he qualified for consecutive Olympic teams in 2004, 2008 и 2012. His Olympic run came to an end against Oubaali when he lost a narrow 19-18 decision in the first round of the 2012 London Games. A southpaw from Cincinnati, Охајо, Warren won the WBA Bantamweight World Championship with a majority decision over Juan Carlos Payano in 2016 and lost the title the next year to Zhanat Zhakiyanov by split-decision.
“This fight means everything for me and it’s about to be the biggest moment of my career,” Warren said. “Not only am I fighting for the WBC belt, but it’s on pay-per-view. When I first won the title it was like winning the gold medal at the Olympics. After I lost the title, it made me much hungrier and I want to get it back even more. I fought this guy in the Olympics, so I’m fighting for revenge. This isn’t the Olympics. This is 12 rounds and I don’t think he’s fought anybody like me. I have no choice but to put it all on the line on January 19.”
The 32-year-old Oubaali (14-0, 11 КОс), an unbeaten southpaw from Lens, Pas-de-Calais, Француска, has knocked out his last five opponents. His most recent KO of Luis Melendez on April 17 moved Oubaali up the ranks to position him for a world title shot. Oubaali, who is the sixth of 18 children born in France to parents who are from Morocco, twice represented France at the Olympics, qualifying in 2008 и 2012 when he defeated Warren.
“Many people are waiting for this fight because it’s the second time we meet,” said Oubaali.”I beat Rau’shee Warren at the 2012 London Games in a great battle. In the meantime, Rau’shee captured a world championship and lost it. Odmah, I’m the WBC No. 1 ranked bantamweight fighter in the world. It will be a great fight in Las Vegas on January 19 and I intend to beat Rau’shee again to become the new WBC world champion.”
The 25-year-old Tepora (22-0, 17 КОс) has steadily risen up the ranks since turning pro in 2012 and most recently captured the WBA interim featherweight crown with a ninth-round stoppage of Edivaldo Ortega in July. Representing Cebu City, Филипини, Tepora enters his U.S. debut on January 19 with stoppage wins in 11 од његова последња 12 такмичења.
“It has always been a dream to fight in the United States,” said Tepora. “I never dreamed that my first fight in the U.S. would be on a card with Senator Manny Pacquiao vs. Адријен Бронер. I look forward to a tremendous fight on January 19 and defending my title versus former world champion Hugo Ruiz. As you all know the best rivalry in boxing is Filipino vs. Мексиканац. It’s going to be a great fight.”
Fighting out of Los Mochis, Синалоа, Мексико, Руиз (38-4, 33 КОс) will make his featherweight debut on January 19 after picking up two victories in 2018. The 30-year-old won a super bantamweight world title with a first round stoppage of Julio Ceja in 2016, avenging his previous loss to Ceja in one of 2015’s most exciting fights. He now seeks to position himself for a world title at 126 pounds with a victory against Tepora.
“I expect it to be a good fight because Tepora is undefeated and a good Filipino champion,” said Ruiz. “But I’m ready. I don’t think he can handle my power. Идем да га нокаутирати. I want to do my best to win the title. I’ve been watching videos of him and I’ve been training hard. I’m really focused on how to beat him. I’m still young, but I’ve got the experience to handle him in this fight.”

By Joseph Santoliquito/BWAA President
| In a pivotal year for women’s boxing that saw the sport reach more people than ever before, two-time United States Olympic gold medal winner Claressa Shields continued to soar, as she successfully defended her two world middleweight titles, then added three super middleweight belts before the end of a campaign that earned her the 2018 Christy Martin Award, which is given to the Boxing Writers Association of America’s Female Fighter of the Year. “I am thrilled and honored to receive the Fighter of the Year award from the Boxing Writers Association of America. It is a dream come true, and it furthers my goal to lift women’s boxing to new levels,” Shields said. “У 2019 my goals are to become undisputed champion, to be ranked in the top 10 pound-for-pound list regardless of gender, and to continue the march of women’s boxing toward equality with men.” The 23-year-old from Flint, Michigan becomes the second winner of the award, which was established in 2017. She will be honored at the BWAA’s annual award dinner, which will take place in 2019 at a site and date to be determined. “In such a big year for women’s boxing, it wasn’t a surprise that there were so many worthy nominees for this award, but in 2018, Claressa Shields took things to a new level by becoming a two-division world champion and successfully defending her titles at both 168 и 160 pounds in Showtime and HBO-televised bouts,” said Thomas Gerbasi, chairman of the BWAA’s women’s boxing committee. “That’s impressive in its own right, but the fact that she’s done this all before her tenth pro fight and under the glare of the spotlight that comes with being the face of the sport in the United States made her a unanimous choice for this year’s Christy Martin Award.” Joining Roy Jones Jr., Andre Ward and the late Emanuel Steward as members of the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame’s Class of 2018, Shields began the year on a collision course with middleweight champion Christina Hammer, but first she finished up her business at 168 pounds by successfully defending her IBF and WBC titles with a shutout victory over Tori Nelson in January. Next was Shields’ middleweight debut against Hanna Gabriels in June, and what followed was a Fight of the Year candidate that saw Shields rebound from the first knockdown of her career to win a clear-cut decision and the IBF and WBA belts. Убрзо након, the news came that Hammer had to withdraw from her November clash with Shields due to injury, али “T-Rex” didn’t slow down, as she defeated Hannah Rankin and Femke Hermans to successfully defend her middleweight titles while adding the WBC crown to her trophy case. |
