Eubank is coming off a career-best win over British super middleweight rival James DeGale in February on SHOWTIME and will go down to the 160-pound class to take on Korobov, a southpaw who gave Charlo a tougher than expected test as a late replacement last December at Barclays Center.

“Chris Eubank Jr. ווס. Matt Korobov is a high stakes showdown that makes Saturday, דעצעמבער 7 a tremendous night of championship middleweight action live on SHOWTIME at Barclays Center in Brooklyn,” said Tom Brown, פּרעזידענט פון טגב פּראָמאָטיאָנס. “Chris Eubank Jr. is already a star in the U.K. and is poised to make a big splash in his U.S. דעבוט, while Matt Korobov is eager to build on his impressive performance in a loss to Jermall Charlo last year. Expect fireworks as Eubank and Korobov look to steal the show and walk away the title on December 7.”
This will be the first time that Eubank (28-2, 21 קאָס) has fought in the U.S. ווי אַ פאַכמאַן. Although he has competed at super middleweight, the 29-year-old from Brighton, Sussex in the United Kingdom will meet Korobov at his more natural weight of 160 pounds for the interim title. Since losing to George Groves in 2018, the son of British legend Chris Eubank Sr. has put together two victories, including the decisive unanimous decision over former super middleweight champion DeGale in his last fight in London.
“I’m ready to take the United States and the middleweight division by storm,” said Eubank. “I’m excited to come down to 160 pounds where I naturally belong, and I don’t see anybody being able to touch me at this weight class. America is where I learned how to fight as an amateur in Las Vegas and 13 years later I’m finally going to make my U.S. professional debut. I can’t wait to show the fans in the U.S. that I’m the best middleweight in the world.”
The 36-year-old Korobov (28-2-1, 14 קאָס) is coming off a majority draw against Immanuwel Aleem in his last fight in May, after serving notice to the middleweight division that he would be a threat when he lost a hard-fought decision to Jermall Charlo in December. Born in Orotukan, Russia and now living in St. פעטערבורג, פלאָרידאַ, 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, having previously lost a middleweight title fight to Andy Lee in 2014.
“I am more motivated for this fight than any other so far in my career,” said Korobov. “Against Jermall Charlo, I didn’t get the decision. אין מיין מיינונג, I won that fight at Barclays Center. This time around, I will leave no doubt against Eubank. This opportunity gives me a chance to right a wrong. Fans will see the best Matt Korobov on December 7.”
Undefeated British sensation Joe Joyce faces Former World Champion Bermane Stiverne
Defends Commonwealth title alongside return of
Former World Champion Lee Selby on massive DeGale v Eubank Jr. קאָרט, LIVE on
ITV Box Office
Fast rising star makes fearless move in just
EIGHTH pro fight to fast track towards World Title
Stiverne says it will be Joyce’s nightmare when
he gets knocked out
Legendary promoter Don King promises to ‘Re
Joyce’ when Stiverne recreates McCall victory over Lewis in London
לאָנדאָן(23 יאַנואַר
2019) Poxon Sports and PBC are delighted to announce that heavyweight sensation
Joe Joyce will defend his Commonwealth title in the biggest test of his
unbeaten career when he takes a gigantic leap up to confront the Former WBC
World Champion Bermane Stiverne on Saturday 23rd February at The
O2, exclusively live on ITV Box Office.
Joyce vs. סטיווערנע,
promoted by Poxon Sports in association with Ringstar Sports and Don King
Productions, will feature alongside the return of Former IBF World
Featherweight Champion Lee Selby as one of the chief-supporting
contests on an action-packed show, headlined with the thrilling all-British
clash between fierce rivals James DeGale and Chris Eubank Jr.
The 6ft 6in ‘Juggernaut’
from Putney, South West London, has destroyed all seven of his opponents since
turning professional in October 2017 after capturing the Silver medal at the
Rio Olympics and has singled himself out as one of the most feared talents in
the heavyweight division.
It’s a monumental test
for Joyce to be facing a former World Champion in just his eighth fight, the
rock-solid and sledge-hammer hitting Stiverne, born in Montreal, קאַנאַדע, of
Haitian descent and based out of Las Vegas, has fought some of the biggest and
best in the division, including Deontay Wilder and Chris Arreola.
The fight has added bad
blood thrown in resulting from a sparring session between Joyce and Stiverne in
which Joyce was angered by comments from Stiverne in an interview afterwards when
he said he took Joyce to school.
Joyce said, “I had
respect for Bermane Stiverne. We sparred in Las Vegas; he said he took me to
school in an interview etc, it got ugly and it made this fight happen. I tried
to be respectful of him, but he’s rude and was having none of it. He is a
former World Champion that has gone 12 rounds with Deontay Wilder and will give
me a real challenge; but my engine and my power will be too much for him, a
fact he should be aware of!"
Joyce’s
promoter Richard Schaefer, Chairman and CEO of Ringstar Sports, האט,
“After only seven fights Joe Joyce has become the number five ranked
Heavyweight in the world. But the spectacular way in which he has won all
of his seven fights by knockout have made him the number one fan favourite in
the Heavyweight Division. Taking on the heavy-handed Former World Champion
Stiverne shows that no challenge is too big for Joe as he continues to march
towards the Heavyweight World Championship. Simply put: Joe Joyce has
become must see TV, so make sure to tune in on February 23 or come
and watch him live at the O2 in London!"
סטיווערנע דיריטאַ, “I told
my promoter Don King to get me any man on earth and I will fight for the right
to prove myself to the world. Then the phone rings, it’s Don, he tells me
Joe Joyce – a boxer with only seven bouts – agrees to meet me! ‘Seven
bouts?’. Seven fights and he has the audacity to box me? I have stopped
Chris Arreola, Ray Austin, the then undefeated Kerston Manswell – and a boxer
with seven fights wants to box me?!.’ I said to Don ‘Sign
it, take it, grab it,’ I’m ready. Seven fights – and he wants to
box me? For me it is a dream come true – but for Joyce it will be a
nightmare. I will knock out Joe Joyce and step over him to KO Anthony
Joshua. I’m primed and ready. The real Bermane Stiverne will be
there on February 23 and will knock out Joe Joyce en route to
regaining my heavyweight crown.”
Stiverne’s legendary
promoter Don King, מוסיף, “It is with my greatest pleasure that Don King
Productions can announce our return to Jolly Old England – the ‘Cradle of
Boxing” where my pugilistic giant – the Former Heavyweight Champion of the
World Bermane Stiverne begins his comeback at the expense of the Giant Joe
Joyce. Unfortunately, for the local fans of Joe there will no ‘re Joycing’
– as my once – and future champion Bermane Stiverne will slay Joyce just like
St. George did the dragon of old. But no matter, we will pick up the
pieces and bring back Joyce just as I have brought back and helped build many a
future together. I recall when I came here with Oliver McCall and he was
given no chance against Lennox Lewis. Then the underdog became the top dog
when Oliver KO’d the previously unbeaten champ and we went home with the
title. History will repeat itself of February 23 when Bermane
sends another undefeated Englishman to defeat. Now
retooled, resuscitated, renewed, rejuvenated and recommitted Bermane
Stiverne will resurrect his career on February 23 when the ‘Lord of
Ring” crushes the “Lord of the World” – ‘Juggernaut” Joyce
on his inexorable march to regain the heavyweight championship of the
world. Bless all British fans, God Save the Queen – but heaven help Joe
Joyce! We will see you on February 23rd.”
WBC World Heavyweight
Champion Deontay Wilder also put forward his thoughts on the
intriguing match up, ער האט, “Joe Joyce will be a good test for him
(סטיווערנע). I’ve seen Joe Joyce before. ער ס אַ גוט Fighter. Joe Joyce fought
Joe Hanks on my undercard with Tyson Fury but I didn’t get a chance to see him
fight that night. But I’m looking forward to seeing him against Stiverne.”
Richard Poxon, UK
Promoter for PBC, האט, “I’ve known Joe from his amateur days up in Sheffield.
His success at the Olympics didn’t surprise me at all. He’s transitioned well
to the pros now and is clearly in a hurry. The heavyweight division is the one
that everyone is looking at again and I fully expect Joe to be in the thick of
the action in the coming year. Taking on a former WBC World Champion in only
your eighth fight clearly shows what Joe’s ambitions are.”
Since embarking on his
pro career in his quest to become World Heavyweight Champion, the quietly
spoken Joyce has let his destructive fists do the talking in making bold
statements to make the boxing world sit up and take notice of the fast-rising
star.
אין אקטאבער 2017 he
astounded critics when he choose to fight the hardened Former British title
challenger Ian Lewison, who had just extended big-punching Dillian Whyte to ten
rounds, for his pro-debut and pounded him down in eight rounds.
Then in only his fourth
fight with only 12 rounds under his belt and inside seven months of turning
pro, Joyce demolished the Commonwealth Heavyweight Champion Lenroy Thomas in
just two rounds – setting a new record by heavyweight boxer to win the
Commonwealth belt.
אין זיין לעצט קאַמף,
American fights fans got a brief taster of what the British star is all about
when he smashed through Joe Hanks in a round to win the WBA Continental title
at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles in making his glittering U.S debut.
דזש
oyce, now ranked #5 in
the world by the WBA and progressing quickly towards a World Title shot, faces
unquestionably his sternest career test to date against the vastly experienced
and equally big-hitting Las Vegas based Haitian who has knocked out 21
opponents of his 25 wins in his 29 קאַמף קאַריערע.
Stiverne formerly held
the WBC crown for two years after defeating Chris Arreola on points in April
2013 to win the title and then in the rematch destroying him inside six rounds
in the first defence of the title in May 2014.
The rock solid Stiverne
then pushed the dynamite-punching Deontay Wilder the full twelve round distance
in the next defence of his WBC World Heavyweight title clash in January 2015.
Stiverne became the first man to take Wilder beyond who at that point had
obliterated all his opponents inside four rounds. In the rematch nearly
three years later, Stiverne stepped in at the last minute when Wilder’s original
opponent Luis Ortiz failed a drugs test and due to his inactivity was stopped
in a round.
Stiverne is now looking
to return to the elite heavyweight mix and a victory over Joyce would propel
him back into the limelight and on course towards a potential world title
opportunity.
