Цларесса Шилдс:

“I started boxing at age 11 and all I really wanted was an opportunity. This is one of those big opportunities.

 

“Her having 124 professional rounds doesn’t mean anything to me. Her being 15-8 са 6 KOs doesn’t scare me either. But I am glad she took the fight and didn’t pull out.

 

“She’s a challenge and, на папиру, she’s not supposed to be someone that I can just walk through. But I’ve been in training camp for three months and I had a great training camp.

I’m not going to let her beat me in front of my family. I’m not going to let her beat me in front of my nephews and cousins and my mom and dad. I just don’t roll like that.

 

“If she doesn’t have the talent and skill to go six rounds with me, she will not go six rounds. Тако, I hope she had a very good training camp. I know I did.

 

“This is the first time that a woman has been the main event on SHOWTIME and I’m not coming to make women look bad when I get in there on Март 10."

 

Szilvia Szabados:

“I’m ready to fight. I’ve been waiting a long time for this fight. I feel good and I’m in great shape.

 

“I think everyone has a destiny in life and I’m glad I chose to be a boxer. This is a huge opportunity for me and I plan to take advantage of it.

 

“I know she has the amateur experience, but I have more experience as a pro. We’ll see what’s more important у петак."

 

Антонио Ниевес:

“I trained and did everything I have to do. I’m ready for war.

 

“Coming out of Cleveland, nobody gives us a chance. We have to fight for everything we get.

 

“I respect Potapov. Он је добар борац. He said he’s going to take my belt? He’s going to have to take it from me. I’m here to fight. I’m not going to just give it up. Come try and take it.

 

“When I get in there Friday, све је то бизнис. I respect him – I don’t have any problems with him as a person.

 

“I’ve fought a lot of Russians and Europeans. They’re straight-up, come forward, and try to put on a lot of pressure. They bring the fight and I’m ready for that. I’m ready for anything he brings to the table.

 

“Anything can happen in a fight, but I’m focused and ready and I know what I have to do. I’ll be able to adjust to whatever he brings.”

 

Николај Потапов:

“I will be a much more aggressive version of myself for this fight. I trained to be very aggressive. I have a lot of surprises in store for Antonio Nieves.

 

“I learned a lot training at Kronk and I’m very ready. I had a great training camp and I really enjoyed living here in Detroit.

 

“In Russia, there is a traditional Russian style. Over here, it’s totally different. The American style is much more aggressive. I loved training with Javan SugarHill Steward at Kronk and learned a lot.”

 

Wesley Tucker:

“I come to fight every time and everybody knows when I fight, it’s fireworks.

 

“He may be from here, but Detroit is my home, сувише. And I’m planning on winning here at home.”

 

Ed Williams:

“I’m glad to be home. I had a great camp and it’s going to be a hell of a fight.

 

“Wesley Tucker is coming to fight, but I’m home. You don’t let nobody take you at home. То је то.

 

“He may be in for a short night. Or a long one. We’ll see.”

 

Јамес Гордон Смит:

“I’m knocking you out. I’m not here to play games. I’m coming straight for you. I bet you I knock you out.

 

“You can’t punch. What are you going to do?

 

“I’m coming to throw bombs, so I hope you trained for this because I’m going to knock that smile off your face. Your coach can’t fight for you.”

 

Joshua Greer, Јр.:

“I’m ready. You’re getting knocked out. We didn’t come here to lose.

 

“This is a fight I’ve been waiting for. Спремни смо. Таква Као Петак, I hope he’s ready, too.”

Испод је оно што су борци су имали да кажу:

Цларесса Шилдс:

“I made history in the amateurs, so it’s very special to me to be making history in the pros too and also doing it so close to home in Detroit.

“For this fight, I did more road work and also worked hard on my fundamentals. With my coach, Jason Crutchfield, in my corner he knows my weaknesses and strong points, so we are strengthening all weaknesses.

“I know that Szabados has a lot of body endurance and a ‘no quit’ mindset in the ring. She has a lot more professional experience than me and is a huge step up for me, as it is only my second professional fight.

“With my reputation and name steady rising and me getting a lot of notoriety, I have really just been handling it by taking a few deep breaths and just not allowing myself to get too excited. When I think about Март 10, I just wanna jump up and down!

“When I was an amateur, I followed women’s professional boxing the best I could. I thought a lot of women weren’t given equal opportunity. I told myself that for women’s boxing to grow, I’d have to go pro after winning the Olympics again. I felt in my heart that I would be respected and given a chance. I take advantage of every opportunity, so as of now, I feel women’s boxing is a sport that is going to be around for a long time.”

Николај Потапов:

“Nieves is good fighter, and he’s ranked in the top 10. I want to fight the best available in my division. A win over Nieves would be huge for my career and would hopefully lead to a shot at a title in the near future. I can’t lose on Март 10.

“I trained hard to go the distance of 10 метака, but Kronk’s philosophy is not to leave it in the hands of the judges.

“I am thankful to Showtime and Salita Promotions for giving me another opportunity to fight on such a prestigious network. I am focused on bringing home the victory after spending time in Detroit training at the legendary Kronk Gym. "

In addition to the history-making six-round main event featuring two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Цларесса Шилдс (1-0) of Flint, Мичиген, taking on Hungary’s Szilvia “Sunset” Szabados (15-8, 6 КОс) for the Women’s NABF Middleweight Championship, there will be a trio of exciting bouts between rising prospects with a combined record of 80-2-5 са 39 КОс.
“Detroit City Gold” will mark the first time in history a women’s boxing match has headlined on premium television. Shields and Szabados will also be the first women’s fight on СхоБок, a series that has sparked the careers of 67 future world champions.
Антонио Ниевес вс. Николај Потапов – 10-Round Bantamweight Bout
The co-main event will feature a 10-round battle between top-10 ranked bantamweight contenders Антонио Ниевес (17-0-2, 9 КОс) и Николај Потапов (16-0-1, 8 КОс). Nieves is ranked No. 4 у ВБО, while Potapov is ranked No. 9 по ВБО, До Нот. 10 by WBA and No. 13 по ИБФ.
Nieves, a top amateur, was a five-time Cleveland Metro Golden Gloves Champion. У 2011, he was the National Golden Gloves runner-up and U.S. Nationals Bronze Medalist at 123 фунти.
А про од новембра 2011, he won the initial 12 fights of his career before boxing to an eight-round draw with Степхон Млади он Јуне 20, 2015. The NABO bantamweight champion, he has gone 6-0-1 since and is coming off a second-round TKO over Szilvester Ajtai последњи Нов. 26. У августу 2016, he fought to a 10-round split draw against Mexico’s Alejandro Santiago о СхоБок.
Because they are both residents of Ohio, Nieves has long clamored for a showdown with former WBA Champion and fellow 118-lb contender Rau’shee Warren. A victory over Potapov may put him in the right position to have his wish granted later this year.
“I feel great about this opportunity and I’m going to take advantage of it,” said Nieves. “Он је добар борац. He comes forward and throws a lot of punches. He’s got a solid foundation. I believe it’ll be a good fight but, уопште, I’ll be able to outbox him. I can make him make mistakes and take advantage of it. Ја ћу бити 100 percent ready to show everybody the real Antonio Nieves. I’ll use my legs more and throw a lot of combinations. I will box my way to my big shot.”
The 26-year-old Potapov was an outstanding amateur with international success. The 5-foot-4 native of Russia had around 200 fights before he turned pro in March 2010. Отишао 13-0 as a pro in Russia before his U.S. деби.
Potapov had a 14-fight winning streak ended when he boxed still-undefeated prospect Степхон Млади (13-0 иде у) to a 10-round majority draw on April 15, 2016, о СхоБок. Потапов, who felt he had done more than enough to earn a victory, entered the ring ranked 10тх у ИБФ, rare for a fighter at that point in his career.
Since the disappointing result against Young, Potapov has fought twice, leaving nothing in the hands of the judges by winning both by early round knockout. He’s coming off a fourth-round TKO over Alexander Saltykov last Нов. 15.
“I have been training in Russia and am excited to be in Detroit (since Feb. 1) training at the Kronk Gym with world-class trainer Javan SugarHill Steward,” Potapov said. “Antonio Nieves is a very talented fighter and I look forward to a great exciting fight of skill and will on Март 10.”
Wesley Tucker vs. Ed Williams – Eight Round Welterweight Bout
Такође, на СхоБок: Нова генерација will be an eight-round welterweight battle between local prospects with much to prove, Wesley Tucker (13-0, 8 КОс) и Ed Williams (12-1-1, 4 КОс).
The 29-year-old Tucker, Толедо, Охајо, was a standout amateur. Он је био 2012 National Golden Gloves runner-up at 152 pounds and had over 250 аматеур туче. Као професионалац, he’s stayed relatively active since his debut in February 2013, but the 5-foot-8 southpaw has been virtually untested. Tucker will be looking to score his first significant professional victory against Williams.
“И феел гоод. Excited about the opportunity,” said Tucker. “He’s a tough fighter from Detroit. But I’m better. I’ve seen every kind of style there is. You can expect fireworks that night. Ја сам 100 percent ready.”
Detroit’s Ed Williams is coming off a unanimous decision victory over then 6-1 Цхристон Едвардс, last July at the MGM in Las Vegas. The 27-year-old suffered his lone career loss in November 2015 via unanimous decision to Marcus Beckford in Beckford’s home state of Louisiana. Као аматер, Williams was a two-time Michigan State Champion and a two-time Detroit Golden Gloves Champion.
“I feel like this is a great opportunity to fight at home and on TV,” рекао је Вилијамс. “It’s the first fight at the MGM, first women’s bout to headline. There’s a lot of firsts going on that night and it’s a big stage, but I’m not afraid of anything. I don’t know much about Tucker other than he’s from Oho and he’s shorter than me. I’m just going to prepare for everything. One thing about me — I’m a gladiator. If he doesn’t show up to go to war, I will get him out of there. Обука ће одлично. I’m in Houston for this camp. I’m working on a lot of things and getting sharper and staying busy.”
James Gordon Smith vs. Joshua Greer, Јр. – Eight Round Bantamweight Bout
Opening the telecast will be an eight-round bantamweight “Detroit vs. Цхицаго” окршај између James Smith (11-0, 6 КОс) и Joshua Greer, Јр. (11-1-1, 4 КОс).
The 26-year-old Smith was a standout amateur, одлазак 110-9 en route to a bronze medal at the National Golden Gloves. He holds an amateur win over current top-10 bantamweight Antonio Nieves.
Ковач, a 5-foot-4, is making his ninth start in Michigan, his seventh in Detroit and first at MGM Grand.

Он долази акцију коју је други круг ТКО преко Szilveszter Ajtai last Jan. 22 in his fourth consecutive scrap at Masonic Temple in Detroit.
“This is a great opportunity to better my career and keep moving it into the right place,” рекао је Смит. “A victory would get me ranked and keep me moving up the ladder. Plus the world will get to see me for the first time. I want to put on a good show, no matter how it goes. I just want it to be a competitive and exciting fight.”
Greer, a 22-year-old Chicago native, was a Chicago Golden Gloves Champion. He will be coming down in weight to face Smith, having normally campaigned around 120 фунти. He was last seen stopping Cristian Renteria in the fifth round in October of last year. Before that he took the undefeated record of the Dominican Republic’s Juan Gabriel Medina (онда 10-0, 9 КОс) via unanimous six-round decision.
Greer suffered the lone loss of his career in the fifth fight of his career, a majority four-round decision against fellow unbeaten Стивен Фултон у децембру 2015.
“I feel really good about this. I’m ready and can’t wait for it to happen,” said Greer. “I don’t know much about James Smith, but I know we fought the same opponent, Antwan Robertson, and he got dropped by him. And I stopped him within 24 секунди првог кола. Обука ће одлично. I have the best sparring you can ask for, guys like Адријан Гранадос, Еди Рамирез, Хенк Ланди. I will be well prepared for this fight. If it was сутра, I’d be ready.”

The six-round main event between Shields (1-0) and Szabados (15-8, 6 КОс), that will also be for the Women’s NABF Middleweight Championship, tops a quadrupleheader of exciting televised fights.
Shields won her first Olympic Gold when she was 17 years old in the inaugural women’s boxing competition at the London Games in 2012. She defended her title at the 2016 Олимпијске игре у Рију, becoming the only American boxer to defend amateur sports’ premier championship.
“Detroit City Gold” marks the return of big-time boxing to the Detroit area, something promoter Dmitriy Salita is proud to be part of.
“I started the Detroit Brawl series of shows to get people excited about boxing again and they’ve responded very well,” Саид Реч. “So now we are bringing a huge event to this great city that was once and will be again a headquarters for boxing. Thank you to all the fans and sponsors and to MGM Grand Detroit for making it possible.”
The 21-year-old Shields cruised to a 77-1 amateur record before turning professional last November, winning her first bout via unanimous decision on a non-televised undercard in Las Vegas. She now returns home as a headliner to take on the veteran Szabados in a six-round middleweight bout.
Szabados challenged for a world title in July 2015 in her ninth professional fight, losing a decision to undefeated WBC Super Middleweight Champion Nikki Adler у Немачкој. The native of Miskolc, Hungary has faced two former world champions, Mikaela Lauren и Noni Tenge, and has won via knockout in three of her last five victories.
In her U.S. деби, Szabados lost a 10-round decision to then-undefeated prospect Алициа Наполеон Јануар 29, 2016, in Queens, НИ. The 26-year-old has remained active since turning professional in 2014.

Shields is the most accomplished amateur boxer in U.S. историја – male or female – and the only American boxer to capture back-to-back gold medals at the Olympic Games.
“It is a dream come true to be the first woman to headline a boxing card on premium television,” said Shields. “Март 10 will be a historic night for boxing and all of the women who give so much to advance our sport. I am proud to be fighting for the NABF title in my second pro bout. I want to thank SHOWTIME, MGM Grand Detroit and Salita Promotions for this opportunity, and I will do everything to give my home state fans and the viewers a night to remember.”
Szabados said, “Fighters always say their next fight is the most important one of their career, but you get an opportunity like this, and it really is. This is an unbelievable dream. I am very happy to be receiving this opportunity. I know this fight is important for Claressa also, and I don’t really know what will happen in the ring. обоје желимо да победимо.

Promoter Dmitriy Salita said, “I am honored to be putting on this event at the fantastic MGM Grand Detroit, featuring American hero Claressa Shields on ShoBox: Нова генерација. Detroit is America’s greatest comeback city and I am thrilled that she has chosen MGM Grand Detroit as the site to fight for her first professional title on Март 10. Although it is just her second professional fight, Claressa has chosen a former world title challenger for her opponent, a tough Hungarian named Szilvia Szabados, a woman who knows what’s at stake if she can win that night. We’ve got a terrific card from top to bottom in support of this fantastic main event as well, featuring some of Detroit’s brightest up-and-coming prospects, as well as some national and international flavor. Detroit deserves to have world-class events such as this and I’m very proud to be able to bring it here.”
Shields won her first Olympic Gold when she was 17 years old in the inaugural women’s boxing competition at the London Games in 2012. She defended her title at the 2016 Олимпијске игре у Рију, becoming the only American boxer to defend amateur sports’ premier championship.
The 21-year-old Shields cruised to a 77-1 amateur record before turning professional last November, winning her first bout via unanimous decision on a non-televised undercard in Las Vegas. She now returns home as a headliner to take on the veteran Szabados in a six-round middleweight bout.
СхоБок стручњак аналитичар Стеве Фархоод: “Women’s boxing in America has its best chance of revival because of the emergence of Claressa Shields. Women’s boxing is pretty big in certain countries, but it really hasn’t been a factor in the United States since Лаила Али и, before her, Christy Martin. Being the only U.S. boxer to win two gold medals, Claressa has instant credibility and star appeal and those two things are going to lead to wide exposure.
“She has a great back story, she’s an exciting fighter to watch and she’s instantly likeable.”
Simply put, Shields found solace in boxing to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges in her childhood. She’s become a vocal advocate for many social causes, including the ongoing water crisis in her hometown of Flint, women’s rights, and campaigning against sexual assault. An inspirational figure and motivational speaker, Shields represents a beacon of hope for a working-class city that struggles with violence, poverty, and everyday essentials.
In taking on a former world title challenger and fighting for the NABF middleweight championship in only her second fight, Shields continues to make immediate strides as a professional like fellow Flint native Floyd Mayweather, who won his first world title when he was 21.
Szabados challenged for a world title in July 2015 in her ninth professional fight, losing a decision to undefeated WBC Super Middleweight Champion Nikki Adler у Немачкој. The native of Miskolc, Hungary has faced two former world champions, Mikaela Lauren и Noni Tenge, and has won via knockout in three of her last five victories.
In her U.S. деби, Szabados lost a 10-round decision to then-undefeated prospect Алициа Наполеон Јануар 29, 2016, in Queens, НИ. The 26-year-old has remained active since turning professional in 2014. She fought eight fights in 2016, and already has a win in 2017 via fifth round KO over Diana Marcz in January in Budapest, Мађарска.
