**BROOKLYN – Febbraio 18, 2022 -** Imbattuto stella nascente **Chris "Primetime" Colbert** venerdì ha tenuto un allenamento multimediale nella sua città natale di Brooklyn, mentre si prepara ad affrontare l'imbattuto olimpionico domenicano **Hector Garcia** sabato nell'evento principale SHOWTIME, Febbraio 26 in un evento Premier Boxing Champions dal Chelsea all'interno del Cosmopolitan di Las Vegas.

Colbert vs. Garcia è in cima a uno SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING impilato^® tripleheader che inizia alle 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT mentre i combattenti imbattuti si affrontano in un WBA Super Featherweight Title Eliminator.

I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo, che è promossa da Promozioni TGB, sono in vendita ora e possono essere acquistati tramite Ticketmaster.com.

Il 25enne Colbert ha tenuto l'allenamento ai NYC Cops & Kids Boxing Club dove ha iniziato il suo viaggio nel pugilato, dai suoi giorni decorati nei ranghi dilettanti, alla sua fiorente carriera da professionista. Ecco cosa ha detto Colbert sul campo di addestramento, il suo febbraio 26 avversario e altro:

**CHRIS COLBERT**

“Imparerà in prima persona quanto sono pericoloso. Non sono preoccupato per tutto ciò che porta sul ring. Adoro quando le persone pensano che il potere li salverà contro di me.

“Non devo essere all'altezza del nome 'Primetime', sono solo io. Ecco chi sono. La gente sa chi sono. Ho solo un lavoro da fare e lo farò a febbraio 26.

“Non so davvero niente di Garcia. So che ha due braccia e due gambe, e oltre a ciò mi aspetto che porti il suo A-game, perché deve contro di me. Non c'è modo che lo lasci entrare come sostituto in ritardo e mi batta.

"Ho trascorso la maggior parte del ritiro con l'allenatore Aureliano Sosa e Herman Caicedo al Caicedo Sports giù a Miami, ma con il cambio di avversario ho deciso di tornare nella mia palestra a Brooklyn perché abbiamo tre mancini in palestra quassù.

"L'unica vera differenza per questo campo è che ora ho un nutrizionista, quindi mi hanno messo a dieta rigorosa e sono solo più concentrato che mai. L'altra cosa di questo campo è che inizialmente avrei dovuto combattere a metà dicembre, ma poi è stato rimandato ad ora. Quindi abbiamo attraversato fondamentalmente due campi. È stato un campo di circa 14 settimane in totale.

“Siamo andati a Miami principalmente a causa del tempo, e per il nostro legame con l'allenatore Herman. Odio il freddo al nord. E poi hanno anche molti sparring partner di qualità per me a Miami e mi hanno dato un buon lavoro per prepararmi a questa lotta.

“Mi occupo di apportare modifiche. Ho avuto sostituzioni di avversari prima, e so che questo fa parte del business della boxe. Devo solo rotolare con i pugni, fai una limonata con questi limoni e fai quello che faccio a febbraio 26.

“Non combatto per le cinture. Combatto per i soldi e la mia eredità. Ho ancora un lavoro da fare sabato prossimo. Vengo ancora pagato. Dopo che ho vinto, Presto lotterò di nuovo per la cintura e vengo pagato di nuovo per quella battaglia.

**HÉCTOR GARCÍA, L'IMBATTUTO OLIMPICO DOMINICANO, AFFRONTA L'IMPRESSIONATA STELLA NASCENTE CHRIS COLBERT IN DIRETTA SU SHOWTIME**^® **SABATO, Febbraio 26 NEI PREMIER CAMPIONI DI BOXE** **EVENTO DAL COSMOPOLITA DI LAS VEGAS**

**LAS VEGAS** (Febbraio 17, 2022) – Imbattuto olimpionico domenicano **Ettore Garcia** cercherà di avvicinarsi di un passo ai suoi sogni di campionato quando affronterà compagni imbattuti **Chris "Primetime" Colbert** in un 12 round WBA Super Featherweight World Title Eliminator da headliner dal vivo su SHOWTIME sabato, Febbraio 26 in un evento Premier Boxing Champions dal Chelsea all'interno del Cosmopolitan di Las Vegas.

“Sono molto grato a tutta la mia squadra per avermi dato questa opportunità,disse Garcia, chi possiede un record di 14-0, con 10 ko. "È ora di mostrare al mondo che c'era un combattente dominicano nascosto nell'ombra ed è pronto a cogliere questa opportunità."

García è intervenuto per affrontare Colbert dopo che il campione WBA Super Featherweight Roger Gutiérrez si è ritirato a causa di un test COVID-19 positivo. Nonostante l'improvviso cambiamento, il 30enne è preparato per ciò che l'elegantissimo Colbert porta sul ring.

“Non considero Chris Colbert particolarmente pericoloso,disse Garcia. “L'ho già visto combattere e so che devo essere agile, visto che è molto veloce. Ho combattuto con molti compagni di allenamento che hanno stili simili al suo qui a Las Vegas e questo dovrebbe aiutarmi ad adattarmi una volta che saremo in lotta".

Addestrato dal famoso allenatore Ismael Salas a Las Vegas, García ha combattuto con campioni e top contendenti tra cui Devin Haney e Rolando "Rolly" Romero. Entra in questa lotta uscendo dalla vittoria più impressionante della sua carriera, una decisione unanime trionfa su Isaac Avelar a dicembre 2021.

“Mi assicuro di rimanere in forma anche se non mi sto allenando per una data o un avversario specifico,disse Garcia. “Ho sentito parlare di questa opportunità quando sono tornato a Las Vegas dalla Repubblica Dominicana, e sapevo solo che dovevo afferrare il toro per le corna. Mi sto assicurando di ottenere il massimo da questo avendo la migliore preparazione possibile".

Il San Juan de la Maguana, Il prodotto della Repubblica Dominicana sa che questa è la sua occasione per passare da perdente a contendente al campionato del mondo, e prevede di mostrare la sua versatilità e potenza nella più grande battaglia della sua carriera fino ad oggi.

"Le persone saranno testimoni del mio potenziale il 26 febbraio", ha detto García. “Scopriranno anche che posso rissa o essere tattico da qualsiasi tipo di distanza. Se dovessi definirmi un pugile in una parola, sarebbe "versatile". Il mio potere è un'arma perché posso ferirti con qualsiasi cosa e tutto ciò che lancio".

García è un accanito tifoso dei Boston Red Sox che giocava a baseball e sognava di fare fuoricampo al Fenway Park ammirando le leggende del baseball dominicano come Pedro Martínez, David Ortiz e Manny Ramirez. La sua famiglia voleva che studiasse, ma è stato il suo fratellastro che lo ha portato alla boxe quando García era un adolescente.

“Il baseball è stato il mio primo amore, ma il mio fratellastro maggiore Derlin Valdez era solito boxare e mi incoraggiava a fare lo stesso,disse Garcia. “Continuava a dirmi di andare in palestra e, quando ero 14, Ho deciso di seguire il suo consiglio e di dedicarmi alla boxe. All'inizio non volevo davvero, ma non avevo nemmeno le risorse di cui avevo bisogno per essere un vero prospetto di baseball professionista".

García è diventato professionista nel dicembre di 2016 dopo un secondo posto al 2015 Pan-Am Games a Toronto e qualificazione per il 2016 Olimpiadi di Rio de Janeiro.

“Ho aspettato il (2016) Olimpiadi prima di diventare professionista,disse Garcia. “Il mio sogno era vincere una medaglia, e non ci sono riuscito a causa di una sconfitta ingiusta durante i turni preliminari.

Sei anni dopo, la boxe è ancora una questione di famiglia in casa García. Questo è ciò che lo spinge ad avere successo.

“Il mio obiettivo è diventare un campione del mondo, e mi dedico a mostrare alla mia famiglia che sono davvero in grado di avere successo come atleta,disse Garcia. “Volevano che studiassi, studio, studia e studia ancora un po', ma sto mostrando loro che ho raggiunto il mio obiettivo".

Representing his native Brooklyn, N.Y., Colbert (16-0, 6 KO) has quickly shot up the 130-pound rankings, taking on high-level competition in his first 16 lotte pro. Already established as a fighter with dazzling boxing skills, Colbert showcased his ability to fight toe-to-toe with an 11^th-round stoppage of Jaime Arboleda in December 2020 before most recently besting Tugstsogt Nyambayar in July 2021.

Il 5-9 Garcia, who sparred with Devin Haney and Rolly Romero for the Avelar win, represented his native San Juan de la Maguana, Repubblica Dominicana, nel 2016 Olympics before turning pro in December that year. Garcia is trained by the highly respected Ismael Salas, who has guided a long list of standouts, including Yordenis Ugás, Guillermo Rigondeaux, Yuriorkis Gamboa, Nonito Donaire, e Jorge Linares. Garcia will be fighting for just the third time in the U.S. febbraio 26, having defeated Avelar in Minneapolis. He was zeroing in on facing a top contender in 2022. Now he will get his chance.

**CARSON, CALIF.** (Luglio 4, 2021) - Imbattuto stella nascente **Chris "Primetime" Colbert** cruised to a unanimous decision victory over **Tugststogt Nyambayar** Saturday night to retain his Interim WBA Super Featherweight title in the main event of action live on SHOWTIME from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif. in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

The 24-year-old Colbert (16-0, 6 KO) rode a dominant jab to victory as he landed 112 across the 12 rounds according to CompuBox, buoying a 218 a 78 advantage in punches landed. The Brooklyn-native used the jab to set up a variety of effective power punches that he was able to land from orthodox and southpaw stances.

“We had a tremendous training camp,” said Colbert. “We sparred a lot with a bigger guy in Michel Rivera, so I had a lot of practice using my speed and jab in camp. The jab is always a key in this sport.”

Mongolia’s Nyambayar (12-2, 9 KO), who now fights out of Los Angeles, stepped in to fight Colbert on less than two weeks’ notice, replacing former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa after he suffered a training camp injury. Nyambayar had successful moments in his 130-pound debut, with Colbert even noting the Olympic silver medalist’s power, but he was unable to keep up a sustained attack or keep the busier Colbert from controlling the tempo.

“He carried power for a 126-pounder,” said Colbert. “Boxing is about hitting and not getting hit. I had to use my Muhammad Ali tactics and float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. This was a great fight and ‘Tug’ did a great job coming in off only a week and a half of training for me. I take off my hat to him and wish him nothing but the best in his career.”
*Colbert’s post-fight interview: https://twitter.com/ShowtimeBoxing/status/1411543856345145345*

Colbert rode his versatile offensive arsenal to a big advantage on the scorecards and statistically, dominating Nyambayar in punches landed as he connected on 106 power punches to 78 total punches landed by Nyambayar. Dopo 12 round, the judges’ scores confirmed Colbert’s dominance, as he won the decision with scores of 117-111 e 118-110 due volte.

“I’m number one in the WBA,” said Colbert. “So you know what time it is. I’m going to follow the plan and see what happens next.”

In caso di co-main, rising lightweight contender **Michel Rivera** (21-0, 14 KO) scored a highlight-reel knockout over **Jon Fernandez** (21-2, 18 KO) in the eighth round of their WBA Lightweight Title Eliminator.
*Watch the knockout here: https://twitter.com/ShowtimeBoxing/status/1411521691201724417*

“I’m so excited and beyond happy to get this win,", Ha detto Rivera. “Fernández was a strong, experienced opponent that forced me to change the game plan I had going in.”

An unbeaten Dominican fighter who now trains in Miami, Rivera seemed to take control of the action in round four, as he began to find a home for the straight right hand that would eventually end the fight. The tables turned momentarily in round six however, as Fernandez connected with a clean right hand to the head that put Rivera on the canvas for the first time in his career.

“I knew since the first round that I would have to be careful with him,", Ha detto Rivera. “He had heavy hands and was taller than me, but I was faster and more skilled overall.”

The 23-year-old was able to weather the storm brought by the Spaniard Fernandez and made it through the round despite the knockdown. After regaining his momentum in the seventh round, Rivera broke through with a decisive right hand that crumpled Fernandez early in the eighth, prompting referee Jack Reiss to wave off the bout 44 seconds in the frame. Rivera held an 87 a 76 advantage in punches landed, and connected on 37% dei suoi pugni di potenza, rispetto a 27% from Fernandez.

“I want the fight with Rolando Romero next,", Ha detto Rivera. “Once I do face him, I would like to go up against Gervonta Davis or Teofimo López.”

Before the night of fights, SHOWTIME host Brian Custer interviewed Bellator MMA No. 1-ranked Featherweight contender A.J. McKee, who will face current champion Patricio Pitbull in the Bellator MMA Featherweight World Grand Prix final on July 31 at The Forum in Los Angeles.
*McKee interview: https://twitter.com/SHOsports/status/1411527740646465537*

“I am going to go out there and dig into my bag of tricks and I am going to shock the world,” McKee said. “He’s done a lot for the sport and he has been my target for a long time, ever since I started to come up. I’ve been calling his name for 17 fights and it is time now to get it on.”

Asked if this fight was for the No. 1 spot on the Bellator pound-for-pound list, McKee said: "Decisamente. Hands down. This fight is for the pound-for-pound best, io sento, al mondo. A 145 libbre, there’s not too many guys that can stop myself or Pitbull.”

McKee added: “This is not going the distance. stilisticamente, it’s a bad match up for him. Nothing personal but my style is not a good match up for him…. I have to stay long, keep positioning and my feet. Distance is a big part of this fight. And catching him on the angle.”

**CARSON, CALIF.** (Luglio 1, 2021) – Unbeaten Interim WBA Super Featherweight Champion **Chris "Primetime" Colbert** and hard-hitting contender **Tugstsogt “King Tug” Nyambayar** faced off Thursday at the final press conference before they meet in the main event of action live on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Luglio 3 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif.

Also featured at Thursday’s press conference were unbeaten rising star **Michel Rivera** and lightweight contender **Jon Fernández**, who square off in the co-main event of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast that begins at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

Per aprire la trasmissione televisiva, SHOWTIME will air a special replay of last Saturday night’s exciting pay-per-view main event fight between Gervonta Davis and Mario Barrios.

L'evento è promosso da TGB Promotions. I biglietti sono ora in vendita e possono essere acquistati su AXS.com.

Ecco ciò che i combattenti avevano da dire Giovedi:

**CHRIS COLBERT**

“I was going to knock [Yuriorkis] Gamboa out cold, and now ‘King Tug’ has to take the knockout.

“My hard work is finally paying off. All I have to do is stay focused, dedicato, and disciplined, and then I’ll be the face of boxing in a couple of years.

“This venue is really known for wars. Come Saturday night I’m definitely going to bring the heat.

“I’m ready for this fight. Nyambayar knows he’s in for trouble on Saturday. Nobody out there can take a fight with me on a week-and-half notice and not be in for trouble.

“Me and Michel Rivera got a lot of rounds in together during training down in Miami. We did a great job all camp and I’m just ready and excited to get in the ring.

“I’ve been knocking out everyone they put in front me. They still don’t give me the respect I deserve yet. I just have to keep doing my thing on Saturday night and embarrass him.

“I can’t tell you if he’s my toughest opponent yet. I know that he’s not beating me, and that’s a promise. There’s no way a 126-pounder will come up in weight and beat me.

“He’s a fighter with only one loss, he can come back from that. But it’s not going to matter on Saturday night. He’s supposed to be confident in himself. He can’t say he’s going to get washed Saturday, but that’s what is going to happen.

“I appreciate ‘Tug’ for taking the fight, but Saturday night I’m going to get in there, dominate and beat him up. This is a Nissan vs. a Lamborghini, and I’m the Lambo.

“I agree that ‘King Tug’ might be better opposition than Yuriorkis Gamboa would have been. But it doesn’t matter if it was Gamboa, ‘King Tug’, or Arnold Schwarzenegger in there with me, it was always going to be the same outcome on Saturday night.

“My hair is orange this week as a dedication to the cause of fighting Multiple sclerosis. One of my friends, Dave, back in New Jersey has it and he told me his story of how he was paralyzed as a kid and also had MS. Then I saw him on the Stairmaster in the gym the next day for like an hour. I saw that and realized there’s no excuses I can make for not being in the gym. I do the different hair colors to make people feel special. I want them to know that I’m fighting for them.

“Nobody in the 130-pound division can beat me. I’m going to continue to prove that every time I step into the ring. I’m going to deliver a dominating performance. Don’t be surprised when I stop him.

“I don’t think this is going past 10 round. I’m going to keep proving that I have power on Saturday night. I’m not discrediting his skills, but I’m just different.”

**TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYAR**

“I’m really excited for this fight. It’s my first fight at 130 pounds and I want to show what I can do. I’m ready for this opportunity.

“Just know this, we are here to win. My team is here to win. I’m ready for Chris Colbert. Questo è tutto.

“I don’t care that I’m fighting on short notice at a higher weight. I believe in myself. I can fight at 122, I can fight at 126 and I can fight at 130.

“Two weeks’ notice is enough for me. If I didn’t take the fight, Colbert wouldn’t have a fight. So he should be thankful. Let’s see what happens. I’m going to whoop his ass.

“I believe in my speed and I believe in my power. I believe in myself. I just want to test myself. This is a good opportunity versus a good fighter.”

“I don’t think that he can stop me. Watch me on Saturday night. Sono pronto.

“I’m not worried about anything he says. I’m just focused on the sight. I really believe in myself and that I’m going to hurt him on Saturday night.

“Colbert has similar speed compared to Gary Russell Jr., so it’s not going to be anything I haven’t seen before. The adjustments from the Russell fight have been made in the gym over time.

“I’m very happy to be fighting at Dignity Health Sports Park because Los Angeles is my second home. It’s very exciting to be fighting here and with a crowd there watching. The Mongolian fans are going to show up on Saturday.”

**MICHEL RIVERA**

“I had a good camp and I have a good team, led by Herman Caicedo who is my coach along with Jukka Toivola. I know that this is a good opportunity and I worked so hard for this fight. I’m so excited for July 3 and I know that this is my chance to show I’m great and to shine.

“Jon Fernandez is a good boxer and he’s a good puncher. I don’t know much about him, but I know that he’s Spanish and he’s a tall guy. He hits hard but I’m in the type of condition to be great in this fight.

“I’m sure that on July 3 when people are watching the fight, they will see who the best boxer is. I’m ready for everything. If he wants to fight instead of box, I will fight too. I have the skills. I believe that I am faster than him. I don’t have problems with his height. You can see in my past fights where I was fighting at 144, and I looked good with big boxers too. I don’t have a problem with it. Everybody will have to tune in July 3 su Showtime, and they will see Michel Rivera beating Jon Fernandez.

“I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. I’m Dominican, and in the Dominican Republic you don’t get much opportunity. I came here and I am making my name. Everybody will know that I’m ready to fight the top names at 135 – the best boxers. I have the skills and the talent. I’m young and I’m pretty, troppo.

“It’s good that he sounds confident. I am confident too. That makes for a great war. He has a lot of knockouts, but they weren’t against any boxers like me. I’m focused. Come ho detto, he’s a good boxer, but I’m better. I’m trusting my talent and I’m trusting my condition.

“My perspective remains the same after this press conference. Fernandez is a proud fighter and I expect nothing less than what he said. I’m also a proud fighter and I’m convinced that I’m better than him. I consider myself better prepared and ready to be considered one of the top boxers in the 135-pound division.

“Training with Chris Colbert was a great experience, and the sparring sessions were awesome. He made me better, just like I made him better. È una persona fantastica. My fellow Dominican fighter Jeison Rosario wished me luck and told me he knows I’m going to be a world champion someday, and that he will be supporting me and watching the fight from the Dominican Republic.

“Of course I believe that I am the next world champion from the Dominican Republic. I can beat all of the top boxers, the top five, in the 135-pound division. I want to make my name at 135 because I know this is a strong division now. I want everybody to know me at this weight.

“I promise a good fight. Everybody will see the next superstar in the ring on July 3.”

**JON FERNANDEZ**

“I’m very excited to be here for this fight. Training camp in Madrid and Mexico have been great. We’ve had an outstanding preparation. I’m facing a great opponent in Michel Rivera, but this is the door I need to open to be in the big leagues of boxing. I don’t plan on missing out on this chance.

“I’m glad he’s confident in his abilities, but I think this is a 50-50 incontro. It’s going to be a great fight and we’re definitely on the same level. There’s no difference in skill levels. I’m going to use my height and show off my boxing ability on Saturday night.

“Rivera is a very good boxer, and has many skills, but I believe that I have equal skills and more power. If I get the opening, I can knock Rivera out.

“I promise that we’re going to put on a great show and deliver fireworks in the ring. My hand will be raised when the fight is over.

“There’s nothing like fighting in Los Angeles. I have already been here before, but nothing can compare to being in the big show.

“Everyone in Spain is supporting me. My city of Bilbao has sent me all its love and they believe in me 100%. Even some famous soccer players have reached out to me. Players from Athletic Bilbao and (former Spain national team striker) Fernando Torres.

“I would like to win in order to open the door for other Spaniard boxers who come behind me and relish this opportunity – like my brother Eker, who is about to make his professional debut. I want to make him proud and put Spain on the map as far as boxing is concerned.

“If I win, it’s not just because of my power. It’s going to be a close fight, but I’m going to give everything I have to come out with the victory.”

“This lineup on July 3 features highly-touted rising stars in tough matchups against opponents looking to make statements of their own,"Ha detto Tom Brown, Presidente di Promotions TGB. “Chris Colbert has been impressive fight after fight, and he will have a big test against the always-tough Tugstsogt Nyambayar. Also facing perhaps the toughest test of his career, Michel Rivera will enter the ring in an exciting matchup against contender Jon Fernández. This is a card that is lined up to deliver drama all night long.”

Representing his native Brooklyn, N.Y., Colbert (15-0, 6 KO) has quickly shot up the 130-pound rankings, taking on high-level competition in his first 15 lotte pro. Already established as a fighter with dazzling boxing skills, Colbert showcased his ability to fight toe-to-toe in his last outing, as he stopped hard-hitting Jaime Arboleda in round 11 of their December 2020 clash. The 24-year-old turned pro in 2015 and beat three unbeaten fighters in his first eight contests. Prior to the Arboleda fight, Colbert scored a highlight-reel first round knockout against Miguel Beltran Jr. nel mese di settembre 2019 and a dominant 12-round decision victory over former champion Jezreel Corrales in January 2020.

“I’m very excited to be back in the ring on July 4 weekend,” said Colbert. “I get to set off my fireworks on SHOWTIME the night before. We’re taking this one to Dignity Health Sports Park in California, but I know I’ll have my New York family behind me. This is just another day, another dollar. I have a job to do, and that’s to get the win by any means necessary, but I’m looking to dominate. I expect Nyambayar to bring his A-game though because he knows he’ll be in there with a monster. I may not be the biggest puncher in the world, but I know how to finish a guy and get him out of there, and on July 3 that’s exactly what I’ll be looking to do.”

The 28-year-old Nyambayar (12-1, 9 KO) won a silver medal representing his native Mongolia in the 2012 Olympics and now lives in Southern California, where he’s trained by John Pullman. Nyambayar ascended the featherweight rankings after his extensive amateur career with victories over then unbeaten Harmonito Dela Torre and former interim champion Oscar Escandon. He earned his first world title shot when he defeated former champion Claudio Marrero in January 2019, before dropping his championship bout against long-reigning WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Russell Jr. nel mese di febbraio 2020. Ahead of his super featherweight debut on July 3, the WBC’s second-ranked featherweight Nyambayar most recently handed Cobia Breedy his first loss by scoring two knockdowns and eventually earning the decision in September 2020.

“When I got the call about this fight, I jumped at the opportunity,” said Nyambayar. “I can’t wait to compete. I was born for fights like this. I’m going to leave it all in the ring and give the fans a great show on July 3.”

Nata a Santo Domingo, Repubblica Dominicana e ora combattendo fuori da Miami, Rivera (20-0, 13 KO) irruppe sulla scena 2019 facendo i suoi Stati Uniti. debut with a victory over Juan Rene Tellez. Il 23enne ha proseguito la sua ascesa 2020, aggiungendo una vittoria per interruzione contro Fidel Maldonado Jr. e una decisione unanime trionfa contro il contendente leggero LaDarius Miller. Più di recente, Rivera stepped back into the ring to knock out Anthony Mercado in February of this year.

“I can’t wait to be showcasing my skills once again on July 3,” said Rivera. “Fernández will be bringing his A-game and that’s exactly what I want. My coach Herman Caicedo and I have been zeroing in on the best approach to this fight and I’m excited to execute it. Jon is a rough and tough fighter and probably the best fighter I’ve faced to this point and I’m looking forward to the challenge. I know that I will be fighting for a world title soon, so I’m just staying focused and disciplined until that time comes.”

The 25-year-old Fernández (21-1, 18 KO) enters this bout on a five-fight winning streak following his only career blemish, a decision loss to O’Shaquie Foster in 2018 suShoBox: La nuova generazione. A native of Bilbao, Spagna, Fernández will fight in the U.S. for the fourth time on July 3. Fernández has been mentored by boxing great Sergio Martinez and will look to put himself back in position for a world title against Rivera. Nel suo ultimo incontro, Fernández knocked out Aristides Perez in the first-round of their February 2020 clash.

“The fans are going to enjoy this fight with Rivera very much,” said Fernández. “Both of us are going to give our all in the ring for the opportunity to become a champion. This is the kind of fight that boxing is all about. Our division is full of great fighters, so you need to fight the best to be the best. My training is going very well and I believe that at this moment, I am in the prime of my career.”

A native of Brooklyn, Hitchins (12-0, 5 KO) diventato professionista in 2017 after representing Haiti at the 2016 Olimpiadi. The 23-year-old has flashed impressive skills as he’s amassed an unbeaten record in the pro ranks, which is the product of an extensive amateur career. Nella sua ultima uscita, Hitchins scored a career-best victory, as he earned a decision over former world champion Argenis Mendez. Hitchins has increased his competition in winning 10-round decisions in his last three fights.

“After my last fight in December, I got right back in the ring and have been training and tweaking things to help me really get to that star level,” said Hitchins. “I’ve always had the tools, but people are just now recognizing my talents. Each opponent has brought something different out of me, and I plan to keep rising to the occasion and putting on a show for the fans.”

Price (17-1, 10 KO) returned to the ring in April to knock out Saul Corral in the fifth round. His previous outing had come in December 2019 when he suffered a knee injury that forced him to take a TKO loss against Malik Hawkins in a fight Price led on the scorecards. Originally from St. Louis and now fighting out of Houston, Price was a standout track and field runner at Grambling State University before turning pro and winning his first 16 combattimenti.

“Every dream has a process and a price tag,” said Price. “Those who embrace the process and pay the price, live the dream. Those who don’t, just dream. I can’t wait to get back in the ring on July 3 and put on a great performance.”

CHRIS COLBERT AIMS TO “SHOW EVERYONE WHY I’M ONE OF THE BEST 130-POUNDERS IN THE WORLD” AGAINST JAIME ARBOLEDA

Dicembre 10, 2020 FNU47 Lascia un commento

***Unbeaten Interim WBA Super Featherweight Champion Colbert Battles Hard-Hitting Arboleda in Main Event Live on SHOWTIME^® questo Sabato, Dicembre 12***

**NEW YORK – Dicembre 8, 2020 –** Unbeaten interim WBA Super Featherweight Champion **Chris "Primetime" Colbert** will look to make a statement in his first nationally televised main event as he faces hard-hitting **Jaime Arboleda** in diretta su SHOWTIME questo sabato, Dicembre 12 a 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

“I always knew I was going to get here,” said Colbert. “It’s all God’s plan. This is just going to be another day for me and I’ll show everyone why I’m one of the best 130-pounders in the world.”

The 24-year-old Colbert has shot up the rankings of the 130-pound weight class and believes that a victory on Saturday night will lead to bigger opportunities in the jam-packed division.

“This is one of the most stacked divisions in boxing and I love competing in it,” said Colbert. “It’s great to be getting noticed in a division that has this much talent, and hopefully it’ll lead to me getting the big fights that I need. I don’t feel like there’s any certain fighter I’m targeting, but Gervonta Davis, Leo Santa Cruz and Jamel Herring would all be great fights for me. Beating them would help me become ‘the guy’ in the division.”

Colbert’s rise continued in his last fight, as he scored a 10^th-round knockdown against former champion Jezreel Corrales on his way to a decision win while showing an impressive array of skills against a fighter determined to slow the action through holding and other veteran tricks.

“Against Corrales I learned not to rush,” said Colbert. “It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. I can’t just go rush in there and expect everyone to get knocked out. I had to take my time, do what I do best and stick to my game plan.”

In the 26-year-old Arboleda, Colbert will be presented with another rising 130-pound contender with his own sights set on emerging amongst the elite in the division. Arboleda has won five of his last six fights by stoppage and most recently dropped Jayson Velez on his way to a decision victory in February on SHOWTIME.

“Come December 12, Sono pronto per tutto ciò che porta,” said Colbert. “I expect him to bring pressure and ‘try’ to make me tired because that’s the only chance he has. He can’t outbox me. That’s not happening. But I love to bang inside and I’m ready for whatever he does. I hope he doesn’t run or clinch me because I’d love to get the knockout and get him out of there early.”

The Brooklyn-native Colbert has continued to work with his longtime coach Aureliano Sosa in his hometown through the difficulties of the pandemic. Those difficulties have led to Colbert sparring with larger welterweight and super welterweights in camp, which Colbert believes could help him with the power Arboleda will bring into the fight.

“Training camp has been going great for the most part,” said Colbert. “It’s just been a little hard finding sparring partners. But because it’s been difficult to find fighters at my weight I’ve actually been sparring with 147 and 154-pound fighters. I honestly love that because it prepares me better, and who’s to say that Arboleda won’t have power like them? I’m on weight now, anche se, and ready to put on a show on December 12.”

***“I truly believe I am the best up and coming fighter in the game”***

**Unbeaten Rising Super Lightweight Prospect Hitchins Battles Former Champion Argenis Méndez In Co-Main Event Live on SHOWTIME^® questo Sabato, Dicembre 12**

**Fare clic** **QUI** **per le foto da Promozioni Mayweather**

**NEW YORK – Dicembre 7, 2020 –** Unbeaten rising prospect **Richardson Hitchins** shared details of his training camp, including pointers and motivation he received from Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis, ahead of his super lightweight showdown against former world champion **Argenis Méndez** in diretta su SHOWTIME questo sabato, Dicembre 12 a 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

“Floyd helped me tremendously while I was back in Las Vegas,” said Hitchins. “I already have the fundamentals as a fighter, but he showed me little things here and there and workouts that I have taken back home with me while I train for this fight. I’m not shy about my ability as a fighter, because I truly believe I am the best up and coming fighter in the game, so these are the kind of fights I need in order to show the world who Richardson Hitchins is.

“Gervonta has been instrumental in past fight camps as well, and he’s the type of person you need. He pushes you to go harder. We go head-to-head in trying to outdo each other, and that’s the type of competition that’s needed in order to really be the best.”

Despite training throughout the pandemic, Hitchins has been able to remain on task and on track throughout his camp that began in Las Vegas before ending in his native Brooklyn under the guidance of his head coach Lenny Wilson.

“The thing about me is, I’m focused no matter what,” said Hitchins. “I don’t take ‘off’ after my fights. I stay in shape all year round; I don’t need to get ready in terms of conditioning or getting my body back in shape because this is my job. I take my job very seriously. The discipline Floyd has had throughout his career is the same discipline I have. I have watched my idols and taken things from them so that I can put myself in a position to win.

“I don’t think the pandemic or the holidays necessarily altered my training. I still have access to my gym. There’s nothing that’s going to stand in my way of becoming great. The pandemic doesn’t slow me down, it’s just another roadblock to test my dedication to the sport.”

The 23-year-old Hitchins represented Haiti at the 2016 Olympic Games and will return to the ring after debuting in 2020 with a 10-round decision victory over Nicholas DeLomba in February. It was Hitchins’ second 10-round decision win after his previous fight saw him best Kevin Johnson following 10 rounds in November 2019.

“I often think back to my fight against Kevin Johnson, he’s a tough fighter and he’s the one who I can confidently say brought the best out of me,” said Hitchins. “Those are the fights that make me look back and watch closely the things I need to work on. That fight also showed me that no one should be overlooked, so going into this fight against Mendez, I’m not overlooking him.”

Méndez presents the most accomplished opponent of Hitchins’ young career. The 34-year-old former champion most recently fought Juan Heraldez and Anthony Peterson to draws in 2019, and scored victories over Eddie Ramirez and Ivan Redkach prior to that. For Hitchins, the strong resume of his opponent is something he relishes as a measuring stick for his progress.

“He’s a veteran, he’s been in there with a lot of tough guys and he’s a former world champion, so he clearly has a skill set that I think I need to face at this point in my career,” said Hitchins. “I need those big fights. He’s older now, but I feel like him in his prime still couldn’t touch my skillset. It’s my job to prove that.

“I know this won’t be an easy fight, but I’ll be prepared for whatever he brings. My motivation is to be more than ordinary. I will fulfill my goals when this is all said and done, and honestly, I’m just waiting for this fight to come so I can show that. Whether it’s Méndez, or whoever, the conviction I have and how I feel about myself is stronger than anything standing in front of me in that ring.”

Middleweight Contenders Matt Korobov and Ronald Ellis Clash

in Co-Main Event; Rising Super Lightweight Prospect Richardson Hitchins Takes on Former World Champion Argenis Mendez in Telecast Opener

NEW YORK – Novembre 20, 2020 – Two of the top fighters in the 130-pound division will meet when unbeaten interim WBA Super Featherweight ChampionChris "Primetime" Colbertfaces the hard-hittingJaime Arboledain caso principaleShowtime Boxing: EDIZIONE SPECIALE Sabato, Dicembre 12 a 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT live on SHOWTIME from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., in un evento presentato da Premier Boxing Champions.

The tripleheader, originariamente prevista per novembre 28, will see middleweight contendersMatt KoroboveRonald Ellisbattle in the 10-round co-main event and rising super lightweight phenomRichardson Hitchinstaking on the toughest test of his young career as he faces former world championArgenis Mendezin a 10-round telecast opener. The event is promoted by TGB Promotions and Sampson Boxing. Hitchins vs. Mendez is co-promoted by Mayweather Promotions.

Nordine Oubaali vs. Nonito Donaire was originally scheduled to take place on December 12 but was postponed after Oubaali tested positive for COVID-19.

“This main event on December 12 will pit two of the 130-pound division’s most exciting rising talents against each other as the sublimely skilled Chris Colbert faces the powerful Jaime Arboleda in a can’t-miss showdown,"Ha detto Tom Brown, Presidente di Promotions TGB. “The co-main event will see two middleweight contenders in Matt Korobov and Ronald Ellis looking to show that they’re among the division’s elite, while the SHOWTIME opener features the exciting prospect Richardson Hitchins against the always tough Argenis Mendez in a big step up fight. These are three evenly-matched bouts that should make for nonstop drama on fight night.”

Representing his native Brooklyn, N.Y., Colbert (14-0, 5 KO) has quickly shot up the 130-pound rankings, taking on high-level competition in his first 14 lotte pro. The 24-year-old beat then-undefeated fighters Austin Dulay, Titus Williams and Antonio Dubose, all in his first eight fights as a professional. In 2019, Colbert added four more victories to his tally, including an explosive first-round knockout of veteran Miguel Beltran Jr. Più di recente, Colbert won his interim title by dropping former super featherweight champion Jezreel Corrales on his way to a unanimous decision in their January 2020 clash.

“I’m super excited to be making my big stage debut in the main event,” said Colbert. “It’s been a long camp, but training is going great. I’m looking to put on a dominant performance, and I’m looking for the knockout if it’s there. If I can get it, that would be splendid. I know Jaime is going to come to fight. He wants the belt as bad as I want to keep the belt. It’s all going to come down to stamina, ring IQ and who has the greater will to win. I feel like I’m the guy for the job. There’s no way in hell I’m giving up my belt in my first defense.”

The 26-year-old Arboleda (16-1, 13 KO) has amassed an impressive six-fight winning streak heading into the matchup against Colbert, with five of those victories coming inside of the distance. Born in Curundu, Panama, and now fighting out Miami, Fla. Arboleda has fought professionally since 2014 and scored knockouts over two then-undefeated opponents in 2019, Victor Betancourt and Jose Saant. Nel suo ultimo incontro, Arboleda, who is ranked fourth in the 130-pound division by the WBA, bested former world title contender Jayson Velez by unanimous decision to win his first 12-round fight this February on SHOWTIME.

“Every boxer’s dream is to fight for a title and be victorious without leaving any doubt,” said Arboleda. “That is my plan for December 12. I’m having the best preparation of my entire career. Mi sento benissimo, strong and fast like never before. I’m sure it will be a very exciting fight from the very first round.”

Korobov (28-3-1, 14 KO) returns to action after losing his December 2019 clash against Chris Eubank Jr. when he suffered a shoulder injury that forced the fight to end in the second round. Korobov, who notched 300 wins as a decorated amateur, came into that fight off of a majority draw against Immanuwel Aleem, after serving notice to the middleweight division that he would be a threat when he lost a hard-fought decision to undefeated middleweight champion Jermall Charlo in December. Born in Orotukan, Russia, and now living in St. Petersburg, Fla, Korobov was a late replacement and gave Charlo a tougher fight than many experts expected. Korobov had been riding a four-fight win streak before the Charlo fight, following his first professional defeat against Andy Lee in a 2014 middleweight title fight.

“I am excited to be back in a PBC event on SHOWTIME December 12,” said Korobov. “I have a difficult opponent, but I expect to win and prove that I am back and even better prepared. I must win against Ellis in order to get Jermall Charlo back in the ring. Naturalmente, I believe I beat Charlo, but that is the past. Ellis is in my future, and I am coming to show I am still one of the best middleweights in the world.”

The 31-year-old Ellis (17-1-2, 11 KO) will look to build off of his last outing, which saw him edge fellow contender Immanuwel Aleem by majority decision in December 2019. For Ellis, that fight got him back in the win column after his first career defeat, a majority decision against DeAndre Ware in March 2019. The Lynn, Mass.-native is the older brother of welterweight Rashidi Ellis, and had an impressive amateur career including a 2010 National Golden Gloves championship capped off by a victory over Terrell Gausha.

“It’s time for me to show out on December 12,” said Ellis. “Korobov had his chance against the top middleweights, and now it’s my time to take advantage of this opportunity and use a win over him to reach that level. We’re working hard in San Diego sparring with Canelo Alvarez so that everything is perfect and I’m at my best on fight night.”

A native of Brooklyn, Hitchins (11-0, 5 KO) diventato professionista in 2017 after representing Haiti at the 2016 Olimpiadi. The 23-year-old has flashed impressive skills as he’s amassed an unbeaten record in the pro ranks, which is the product of an extensive amateur career. Hitchins scored four victories in 2019, before debuting in 2020 with a decision victory over Nicholas DeLomba. In his first two 10-round bouts as a professional, the southpaw has scored decisive unanimous decisions.

“I don’t overlook any opponent, but I believe I have a better and sharper skillset than Mendez,” said Hitchins. “I have all of the intangibles to become a world champion. That’s often mistaken as being cocky, but it’s really just me believing in myself more than anyone else. I will take this fight seriously like I do any other fight and continue to do what I do in order to get one step closer to that title shot. Being in camp with Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis, I’ve learned a lot. I feel like I have to one-up the competition. They really pushed me to be a better fighter.”

A former super featherweight champion, Mendez (25-5-3, 12 KO) has a reputation for providing stiff challenges to the sport’s best and has proven to be a durable contender at 140-pounds. In 2019, Mendez fought to back-to-back draws against super lightweight contenders, first against Anthony Peterson in March and then against the unbeaten Juan Heraldez in May. Born in San Juan de La Maguana, Repubblica Dominicana, Mendez now fights out of Yonkers, N.Y.. and owns victories over Eddie Ramirez, Ivan Redkach and former titlist Miguel Vazquez. He has also gone toe-to-toe with former champions Rances Barthelemy and Robert Easter Jr.

“I’m facing a young prospect who’s hungry for success, but I’m hungrier today than I’ve ever been in my career and I have the experience to go along with it,” said Mendez. “I’m also extremely motivated for this fight, which isn’t good news for Hitchins. When fight time comes on December 12, you’ll witness an intelligent but more aggressive Argenis Mendez.”
