“This lineup on July 3 features highly-touted rising stars in tough matchups against opponents looking to make statements of their own,”Zei Tom Brown, President van TGB Promotions. “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 pro gevechten. 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. in september 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.”
De 28-jarige Nyambayar (12-1, 9 KO) won een zilveren medaille die zijn geboorteland Mongolië vertegenwoordigde in de 2012 Olympics and now lives in Southern California, where he’s trained by John Pullman. Nyambayar klom op de vedergewichtranglijst na zijn uitgebreide amateurcarrière met overwinningen op de toen nog ongeslagen Harmonito Dela Torre en voormalig interim-kampioen 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. in februari 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.”
Geboren in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and now fighting out of Miami, Rivera (20-0, 13 KO) burst onto the scene in 2019 making his U.S. debut with a victory over Juan Rene Tellez. The 23-year-old continued his ascent in 2020, adding a stoppage win against Fidel Maldonado Jr. and a unanimous decision triumph against lightweight contender LaDarius Miller. Meest recent, 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 opShoBox: The New Generation. A native of Bilbao, Spanje, 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. In zijn laatste gevecht, 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) werd professional in 2017 after representing Haiti at the 2016 Olympische Spelen. 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. In zijn laatste uitje, 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,'Zei 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 gevechten.
“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.”

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,”Zei Tom Brown, President van TGB Promotions. “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 pro gevechten. 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. Meest recent, 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. In zijn laatste gevecht, Arboleda, who is ranked fourth in the 130-pound division by the WBA, versloeg voormalig wereldkampioen Jayson Velez door unaniem besluit om zijn eerste gevecht van 12 ronden in februari op SHOWTIME te winnen.
“De droom van elke bokser is om te vechten voor een titel en zonder twijfel te overwinnen,”Zei Arboleda. “Dat is mijn plan voor december 12. Ik heb de beste voorbereiding van mijn hele carrière. Ik voel me geweldig, sterk en snel als nooit tevoren. Ik weet zeker dat het vanaf de allereerste ronde een heel spannend gevecht zal worden. "
Korobov (28-3-1, 14 KO) keert terug in actie na het verliezen van zijn december 2019 botsing tegen Chris Eubank Jr. toen hij een schouderblessure opliep waardoor het gevecht in de tweede ronde moest eindigen. Korobov, die gekerfd 300 wint als gedecoreerde amateur, kwam in dat gevecht op basis van een gelijkspel tegen 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, Rusland, 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. Natuurlijk, I believe I beat Charlo, but that is the past. Ellis is in my future, en ik kom laten zien dat ik nog steeds een van de beste middleweights ter wereld ben.”
De 31-jarige Ellis (17-1-2, 11 KO) zal proberen voort te bouwen op zijn laatste uitje, waarmee hij in december met een meerderheidsbesluit voorsprong op mededinger Immanuwel Aleem 2019. Voor Ellis, dat gevecht bracht hem terug in de winstkolom na zijn eerste nederlaag in zijn carrière, een meerderheidsbesluit tegen DeAndre Ware in maart 2019. De Lynn, Mass.-native is de oudere broer van weltergewicht Rashidi Ellis, en had een indrukwekkende amateurcarrière, waaronder een 2010 Nationaal kampioenschap Gouden Handschoenen afgesloten met een overwinning op Terrell Gausha.
“Het is tijd voor mij om te pronken op 12 december,” zei Ellis. “Korobov kreeg zijn kans tegen de beste middleweights, en nu is het mijn tijd om van deze gelegenheid gebruik te maken en een overwinning op hem te gebruiken om dat niveau te bereiken. 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) werd professional in 2017 after representing Haiti at the 2016 Olympische Spelen. 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,'Zei Hitchins. “I have all of the intangibles to become a world champion. That’s often mistaken as being cocky, maar ik geloof gewoon meer in mezelf dan wie dan ook. Ik zal dit gevecht serieus nemen zoals ik elk ander gevecht doe en blijf doen wat ik doe om een stap dichter bij die titel te komen. In het kamp zijn met Floyd Mayweather en Gervonta Davis, Ik heb veel geleerd. Ik heb het gevoel dat ik me moet aanmelden voor de concurrentie. Ze hebben me echt onder druk gezet om een betere vechter te worden. "
Een voormalig super vedergewicht kampioen, Mendez (25-5-3, 12 KO) heeft de reputatie de beste van de sport stevige uitdagingen te bieden en heeft bewezen een duurzame kanshebber te zijn van 140 pond. In 2019, Mendez vocht om back-to-back draws tegen super lichtgewicht kanshebbers, eerst tegen Anthony Peterson in maart en daarna tegen de ongeslagen Juan Heraldez in mei. Geboren in San Juan de La Maguana, Dominicaanse Republiek, 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.”
