Skildu eftir athugasemd

Presented by Premier Boxing Champions on Saturday, Desember 22 frá Barclays Center í Brooklyn

BROOKLYN (Desember 17, 2018) – Middleweight keppinautur Matt Korobov has stepped up to challenge Jermall Charlo for the WBC Interim Middleweight Championship live in primetime on FOX and FOX Deportes on Saturday, Desember 22 frá Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™ in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Korobov is replacing Willie Monroe, Jr., who was removed from the main event after he tested positive for a banned substance by VADA under the WBC Clean Boxing Program. The WBC is conducting further investigation into the matter.

Korobov was due to fight on the undercard and had been training to fight December 22. He willingly stepped forward when the call came for a replacement for Monroe.

“I was well prepared for Willie Monroe, sem er southpaw, so there won’t be that much difference facing Korobov,” Said Charlo. “There is a size difference. He’s taller than Monroe, but I’ll just have to adjust my game plan. The best fighters in the world are the ones who are able to make the best adjustments. Beating Korobov is going to make the victory that much sweeter due to this adversity. That means the celebration is going to be sweeter as well. He was fighting on the undercard, so he’s prepared. But now fighting for the title in the top spot is going to make him fight harder. Ég elska það. He’s a much better opponent on paper than Willie Monroe Jr.”

“I was training to fight on this card so I am physically and mentally ready to fight,” said Korobov. “It doesn’t matter that I am taking this fight on a week’s notice because I have been preparing for this moment my entire life. I will make a few adjustments for Charlo and make the most of this opportunity. Ekki missa af því. Make sure you tune-in to FOX for a great fight.”

The Charlo vs. Korobov bout is part of a blockbuster PBC on FOX show that features the Charlo Twins defending their world titles and a heavyweight showdown between Dominic Breazeale and Carlos Negron beginning at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.

Jermall Charlo, who won a coin toss with his brother, will close the show in a 12-round WBC middleweight championship bout against Korobov, while Jermell Charlo will battle Tony Harrison in defense of the WBC Super Welterweight World Title.

Korobov (28-1, 14 Kos), who was originally scheduled to face Colombia’s Juan De Angel, has an outstanding resume that includes a unanimous decision victory over current super middleweight world champion Jose Uzcategui in 2014. His lone loss came against Andy Lee in a middleweight championship fight in 2014. Korobov was ahead on all three judges’ scorecards when he was caught by a right hand from Lee that resulted in a sixth round TKO loss.

The 35-year-old southpaw is from Orotukan, Russia and now lives in St. Petersburg, Florida. As an amateur he won the European Championships in 2006 by defeating reigning undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. Hann var aðili að 2008 Russian Olympic boxing team and finished his amateur career with a record of 300-12.

Undefeated Welterweight Champion Keith Thurman Makes Long Awaited Ring Return to Defend His Title Against Battle-Hardened Veteran Josesito Lopez Live in Primetime on Premier Boxing Champions on FOX & FOX Deportes Saturday, Janúar 26

Frá Barclays Center í Brooklyn

Also in Action! Unbeaten Adam Kownacki Faces Gerald Washington in Heavyweight Attraction

Miðasala hafin!

BROOKLYN (Desember 12, 2018) – Undefeated WBA Welterweight World Champion Keith “One Time” Thurman returns to the ring after a lengthy injury layoff to defend his title against veteran Josesito Lopez á laugardag, Janúar 26 live in primetime in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes from Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™.

Sjónvarpað umfjöllun hefst á 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT and will see a co-feature featuring fast-rising unbeaten Polish heavyweight contender Adam Kownacki as he clashes with former title challenger Gerald Washington í 10-umferð bardaga. Tickets for the show begin at $50 og er hægt að kaupa á ticketmaster.com,barclayscenter.com, eða með því að hringja 800-745-3000.

Tickets can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Group afslætti eru í boði með því að hringja 844-BKLYN-GP.

“There is a high level of anticipation and intrigue surrounding the ring return of welterweight champion Keith Thurman, and Josesito Lopez will certainly provide some answers about where Thurman is after nearly two years out of the ring,” said Tom Brown, Forseti TGB Tilboð. “Adam Kownacki and Gerald Washington have the opportunity to show exactly where they stand in the resurgent heavyweight division. Both of them are big heavyweights who love to throw power shots. It’s the kind of night that will have fans on the edge of their seats.”

“I speak for boxing fans everywhere when I say we are eagerly anticipating Keith Thurman’s return to the ring,” sagði Brett Yormark, CEO of BSE Global. “He has experienced great success at Barclays Center, so it’s fitting that he will lead off a strong year of BROOKLYN BOXING programming in 2019. I also look forward to seeing local favorite Adam Kownacki, who always comes with a strong contingent of loud fans.”

Thurman (28-0, 22 Kos) made a steady rise through the welterweight ranks and reached the pinnacle with hard-fought victories over Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia at Barclays Center, the latter of which earned him a WBC crown in addition to his WBA title. But a string of injuries, including surgery and rehabilitation on his elbow, has sidelined him for nearly two years, calling into question his place amongst the 147-pound elites.

The 30-year-old Thurman, who is still the reigning WBA welterweight champion, is looking to regain his top-tier status in the division starting with Lopez. Thurman, who lives and trains in Clearwater, Florida, enters the ring for the first time since a split decision victory over Garcia on March 4, 2017.

“I’m extremely excited to step back into the ring,” Said Thurman. “It’s a little nerve wracking considering the time off and because I want to have a tremendous performance. I want to speak more with my hands more than my words and quiet the naysayers who think that Keith Thurman has lost his passion and skills in boxing. I believe I’m the best welterweight in the division and in the world and I hope to showcase that on January 26 with a knockout. The best fights in the welterweight division have involved Keith Thurman and that will continue to be the case. I’m looking forward to having a tremendous year and showing why I’m number one.”

The 34-year-old Lopez (36-7, 19 Kos) is looking to thwart Thurman’s plans to regain his lofty position in the 147-pound division. Kallaður “The Riverside Rocky” because of his all-action style, the Riverside, California-native has stepped into the ring against some of the best boxers of this generation. He has rattled off three straight victories since suffering a TKO loss to former welterweight champion Andre Berto in 2015.

Lopez is coming off a unanimous decision victory over previously unbeaten Miguel Cruz on April 28 live on FOX. “I’m approaching this fight as leaving no stone unturned as I prepare to take that world championship,” Lopez said. “I’ve set up training camp with altitude, chasing chickens, chopping wood – really into putting in the work. Overall the layoff will affect him and there could be a little hesitation, but we’ll see come fight night. The improvements that I’ve made with Robert Garcia the last couple of years will come into play. They’ve strengthened my qualities and I can’t wait to show it to the world.”

Kownacki (18-0, 14 Kos) has risen through the heavyweight ranks with a tough-as-nails brawling style that produced a string of knockout victories and exciting showdowns. His knockout streak ended at four in his last fight when he scored a unanimous decision victory over former heavyweight champion Charles Martin on September. 8.

Kownacki, who was born in Lomza, Poland and now lives in Brooklyn, will be fighting at Barclays Center for a third straight time and the eighth time overall.

“Living in Brooklyn this is like a home game for me,” said Kownacki.” I’ve had some of my best performances at Barclays Center and I can’t wait to step into the ring against Gerald Washington and showcase myself on PBC on FOX. There is nothing better to start off the year than with a knockout and that’s what I plan on doing on January 26 á Barclays Center. I hope all my fans will come out like they always do and have the arena in white and red.”

Washington (19-2-1, 12 Kos) is a 6-foot-6 heavyweight who has been able to use his athletic ability to power his way past most of the opponents he faces. That athleticism will pose a challenge to Kownacki, who could be facing the toughest fight of his career. The 36-year-old Washington of Vallejo, 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,” sagði 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.”

Bardaginn bar yfirskriftina á sex-bardaga spili sem kynnt var af King's Promotions.
Allt kortinu var streymt í beinni útsendingu og hægt er að skoða það eftir beiðni á King's Boxing Facebook síða.

Baráttan var hörku barátta sem hafði mörg hver lægð. Keppnin var stundum hnefaleikakeppni, með báðir bardagamenn að reyna að koma jabs þeirra, en mikið af því var barist inn á við þar sem hver strákur náði góðum árangri í návígi.

Í umferð tvö, Robinson byrjaði að bólgna undir vinstra auga hans sem var afleiðing af höggi frá Henderson.

Í umferð þremur, en menn voru skornir úr höggum þegar Robinson var skorinn yfir hægra augað, en Henderson var skorinn yfir vinstri sjóntauginn.

Í umferð fimm, bardaginn breyttist þar sem Henderson felldi Robinson með harðri uppercut. Þegar Robinson stóð á fætur, Vinstra augað hans var nánast lokað. Robinson sýndi gífurlegt hugrekki þegar hann kom fram og jafnaði, með aðeins einu auga, landaði nokkrum góðum skotum á Henderson.

Í sjöunda umferð, Henderson kom út aftur af krafti, og hækkaði vinnuhlutfallið sitt og hann lét Robinson falla tvisvar og endaði bardagann kl 2:08 á hring.

Henderson, 166.4 pund af Fort Worth, Texas er nú 11-0 með sjö rothögg. Robinson, 168.1 lbs of Philadelphia er 11-2.


Í samstarfi lögun, Paul Koon hristi af sér fjögurra ára hringryð og vann einróma ákvörðun í fjórum lotum á Cade Rodriguez í þungavigt.

Koon felldi Rodriguez í fyrstu lotu með vinstri krók á innri.

Koon, 237.4 lbs of Philadelphia er 4-0. Rodriguez, 293.9 pund af Monroe, GA er 293.9 pund af Monroe, GA er 2-3.

Cross, 122 lbs of Philadelphia sigraði með skorum á 40-36 á öllum kortum, og er nú 3-0-1. Rodriguez, 120.9 pund af Nuevo Leon, Mexíkó er 0-2.

Jesaja Vitur skoraði tilkomumikið stopp í 2. lotu yfir Andy Gonzales í áætluðum sex lotu ofurveltivigtarbardaga.
Á upphafssekúndum bardaga, báðir stóðu tá til táar og lönduðu góðum skotum hvor á annan. Í lok rammans, Wise landaði risastórri hægri hendi sem fraus Gonzales. Gonzales var að skoða hringinn, aðeins til að borða skrímsli rétt sem sendi hann á striga. Klárlega, eina mínútu fresturinn var ekki nóg fyrir Gonzalez, þar sem Wise lenti harðsveiflu á strengina, og bardaginn var stöðvaður kl 40 sekúndur.

Hosea Burton calls out Anthony Yarde for British Light Heavyweight clash

Skildu eftir athugasemd

(L-R) – Head trainer Joe Gallagher & Hosea Burton

TORONTO (Desember 7, 2018) — Former British light heavyweight champion Hosea Burton has never been one to duck a fight. Í raun, he’s looking for a fight.

Burton has made his intentions known, calling out undefeated Anthony Yarde, man to man, to his face. The two recently encountered one another during Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder fight week in Los Angeles, California, where Burton was on-hand to support his cousin, Fury.

“Let’s make the fight happen,” Burton told Yarde. “We’re both excited about it. They say I’m not up to you, but let’s get it going man.” Burton has gone undefeated for two years, since suffering his lone career defeat at the hands of Frank Buglioni, a fight in which he was winning prior to a final round stoppage. Buglioni has recently retired from the sport, leaving Burton to set his sights on Yarde, rather than avenging his defeat first.

Yarde recently scored a knockout victory over Walter Sequeira, Október 20 in Brentwood, improving his record to 17-0 með 16 knockouts. Burton, þó, hasn’t been impressed.

“If he’s six foot, I must be six foot nine, because he’s a lot shorter than that,” Burton said of Yarde’s stature. “I would be his first live opponent. Let’s get it on.”

Yarde’s world ranking would play well into Burton’s plans in 2019, which include fighting for a world title after recapturing his domestic gold.

“This would be one of the biggest domestic light heavyweight fights in UK history. Everyone is already placing Yarde amongst the world’s best, but the fact is, he has to get past Hosea,” noted Adam Harris of Athlete Development and Management. “We believe Hosea is the one who’s ready to go after a world title. Let’s have it out and find out who’s right.”

Burton also plans on showcasing his skills in Canada in the new year, following in the footsteps of his cousin Tyson, the lineal heavyweight champion of the world.

Both Tyson and his cousin, Hughie Fury, fought in Canada early in their pro careers, and have held training camps in the Great White North as well. “Some of the best in the world have been coming to Canada to accelerate their careers,” Harris noted, “including Billy Joe Saunders before his most recent fights and, Auðvitað, Tyson in the past. We have a special relationship with the country, and the fight scene in Toronto is booming in a way we’ve never seen before. We have no doubt Hosea will be appreciated and find plenty of competition north of the border.”
