DETROIT (Maggio 10, 2018) – Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and unified women’s super middleweight champion Claressa Shields worked out for the media and spoke to local youth Wednesday at The Downtown Boxing Gym in Detroit. The boxing star is two weeks into training camp ahead of her SHOWTIME BOXING: EDIZIONE SPECIALE showdown Friday, Giugno 22 a 10 p.m. ET/PT live on SHOWTIME from the historic Masonic Temple.

 

 

 

Il 23-year-old Shields, who grew up in nearby Flint, will attempt to become a two-division world champion when she faces unified women’s 154-pound champion Hanna Gabriels for the vacant IBF and WBA Middleweight World Titles.

 

 

 

Ahead of the crucial middleweight world title fight, Shields has altered her preparations significantly. She has changed her diet, switched to renowned trainer John David Jackson and has moved her camp from Michigan to Florida.

 

 

Joining Shields at the workout on Wednesday was Dmitriy Salita, Founder of Salita Promotions. Here is what Shields and Salita had to say.

Claressa Shields:

On fighting in Detroit…

“To fight in Detroit for a world title on SHOWTIME and to be mentioned with great Detroit fighters like Tommy Hearns and James Toney is incredible. Those guys are known worldwide. It shows me that I have a chance to do the same thing and bring attention to women’s boxing. That’s my goal overall – to make sure women’s boxing lives for a long time”

 

On moving camp to Florida…

“You really can’t deal with unnecessary distractions getting ready for big world title fights like I have been having. You want people pushing you to be better and not have people pulling you down.

 

 

 

“I was dealing with everybody who’s around pulling me left and right and calling me at 2, 3 o’clock in the morning. All this negative stuff that goes on in Flint that 23-year-olds are being involved in is something I can’t be involved in. That initially made me do the whole move. I have to stay focused and work hard on my goal of beating Hanna Gabriels and capturing the world title in a second division.

 

On training with John David Jackson…

“We’re on the same page and we’re always talking about the game plan for Hanna and what we’re going to do and what we have to work on. John doesn’t try to change my style, he just makes small adjustments to improve the good things that got me to this level. I feel great about this camp so far and I look forward to putting it all together in June.”

 

On Hanna Gabriels…

“Hanna is a talented world champion. I have a lot of respect for her skills and accomplishments. It takes great, competitive matches to bring women’s boxing to an elite level and that’s what I want to do. I always said that I want to fight the best. Nel giugno 22, I look forward to putting on a special performance for the fans watching the fight on SHOWTIME and those at the Masonic Temple. It’s going to be a special night and I can’t wait to capture my second division world title close to home in front of my hometown fans live on SHOWTIME.”

 

On being an inspiration for kids…

“Kids need to know that everything is possible. I decided to be an Olympic gold medalist at the age of 11. I did it when I was 17. How do you stay focused on one goal all that time? Take one step towards it every day, sometimes small and sometimes bigger. Ma, the important thing is to keep focused on your goal. If you persevere and work hard enough, truly everything is possible”

 

Dmitriy Salita, Founder of Salita Promotions

“We had a tremendous media turnout at today’s media workout at Detroit Downtown Boxing Club. It’s very special to see such support for Claressa, who’s story and success transcends boxing and is very much in line with the comeback story of Flint and Detroit – “America’s Greatest Comeback City”.

 

 

 

“It’s very meaningful for kids in Detroit gyms like the Downtown Boxing Club to see someone that came from a similar background and neighborhood that they did and accomplish all the amazing things that Claressa is doing. Claressa makes them see and believe that through hard work, belief and focus everything is possible. Boxing is a tool that she has mastered with which to deliver this very important message.

 

 

 

“June 22 is going to be one of the biggest fights of the year and one of the most meaningful and memorable moments in sports and women’s boxing.”

TOP SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT FRANCHON CREWS-DEZURN RETURNS ON FRIDAY, Giugno 22, IN DETROIT, ON THE UNDERCARD OF CLARESSA SHIELDS VS. HANNA GABRIELS IBF & WBA WOMEN’S MIDDLEWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

Lascia un commento

With her long-time rival, Claressa Shields, moving down to middleweight, Baltimore’s Franchon “The Heavy-Hitting Diva” Crews-Dezurn will finally be getting her own deserved chance to shine.

 

 

 

One of the best female fighters in the world not currently holding a world title, Crews-Dezurn (3-1, 1 KO) will return to the ring for a six-round fight on the non-televised undercard of the blockbuster “It’s Our Time to Shine” event featuring two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and current Unified Women’s Super Middleweight Champion Shields attempting to become a two-division world champion against unified 154-pound champion Hanna Gabriels for the vacant IBF and WBA Women’s Middleweight World Championships.

 

 

 

The main event will be televised live on SHOWTIME BOXING: EDIZIONE SPECIALE (10 p.m. ET / PT) and will also feature highlights of Unified Women’s Middleweight Champion Christina Hammer as she defends her WBC & WBO Titles in her U.S. debut against former world champion Tori Nelson.

Not long ago, Crews-Dezurn, an eight-time national amateur champion and two-time medalist at the World Amateur Championships, looked to be the face of American women’s boxing before Shields, a younger boxing prodigy, stole much of her thunder and her spot on the inaugural women’s Olympic boxing team.

 

 

 

The pair faced each other again in their simultaneous pro debuts in late 2016, with Shields winning a decision.

 

 

 

Da allora, Crews has signed with Shields’ promoter, Dmitriy Word of Word Promozioni, and won three straight fights in impressive fashion.

 

 

 

“Training is going good,” said Crews-Dezurn. “I’ve been helping my husband Glenn get ready for his next fight, so I’m already in great shape. I’m very happy to be getting back in the ring.”

 

 

 

An entrepreneur, cantante, and business student in addition to boxing, the charismatic Crews-Dezurn is as marketable as any fighter could be, but has been forced to live in the sizable shadow cast by the success of Shields.

 

 

 

Tuttavia, now that Shields is off chasing a showdown with German counterpart Christina Hammer at middleweight, the super middleweight division has an opening for a new world champion.

 

 

 

“I’d like to be fighting for a title within the next year,” continued Crews-Dezurn. “I know in my heart I’m right there with the best super middleweights in the world. I just need to keep working hard and let things happen like they should.”

 

 

 

Promotore di parole, a champion of women’s boxing and one of the main forces behind its resurgence, says Crews-Dezurn’s day is coming soon.

 

 

 

“Franchon will be world champion in the not-too-distant future,"Lui ha detto. “She has all the skills and she works very hard to reach her goals. She deserves all the success she will have. I’m happy to be promoting her career. She’s a very special fighter and person.”

 

 

 

Crews-Dezurn’s opponent is currently TBA. “It’s Our Time to Shine” is presented by Salita Promotions.

VERONA, N.Y.. (Jan. 13, 2018) – Unified Women’s Super Middleweight World Champion Claressa Shields dominated previously undefeated Tori Nelson en route to a 10-round unanimous decision in the main event of ShoBox: La nuova generazione Venerdì on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino.

 

 

 

Shields controlled from opening to closing bell, sweeping 100-90 on all three judges’ scorecards in the first 10-round distance fight of her career. Il 2012 e 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist out-landed Nelson 225-81 with her total punches, 186-70 in powers shots, and connected at a 44 percent clip with her power shots compared to just 20 percent for Nelson.

 

 

 

“I landed every shot that I thought possible to land,”, Ha detto Shields. “She was tough, she wasn’t a pushover. She put on a good fight.”

 

 

 

Shields advanced to 5-0 with two knockouts in what was likely her final fight in the super middleweight division. The 22-year-old now has her sights set on the middleweight division where she will eventually target undefeated and Unified Women’s Middleweight World Champion Christina Hammer, who was ringside Venerdì in Verona.

 

 

 

“I have to drop down and see how I feel (primo),”, Ha detto Shields. “I think I could make 160 easy, I’m going to be bigger and stronger than any girl.

 

 

 

“Hammer just wants to scope. I think she’s pretty scared to be honest. She is more worried about me than I am about her. I’m going to kick Hammer’s ass. People think Hammer is more skilled than me so I can’t wait to show her that she’s not.”

 

 

 

Martello, who is expected to fight in a co-featured bout on the next Shields card, was interviewed by SHOWTIME analyst Steve Farhood and expressed excitement to make her U.S. debut and eventually face the American champion.

 

 

 

“It’s a great combination me and her on the same card,” Hammer said. “I can’t wait to show the fans who Christina Hammer is. That will be the best fight ever. It will be the game-changer for female boxing. It’s our time to shine.

 

 

 

“I’m long-time world champion and I have more experience. I have longer reach, I’m tall, I have good footwork and better technique than her. I feel the energy, and I can’t wait to fight against her.”

 

 

 

The former world champion Nelson (17-1-3, 2 KO) became the 173rd undefeated fighter to suffer their first professional loss on ShoBox: La nuova generazione.

 

 

 

“I’m not happy because I didn’t win, but other than that I thought I executed pretty well,” said the 41-year-old Nelson. “I gave her a better fight than she was expecting.

 

 

 

“No disrespect to Claressa, she doesn’t have great power. She has great speed and she overwhelms you with a lot of punches. My movement threw her off like I knew it would but knowing she was the champion, I needed to just push a little bit more.”

 

 

 

Nel ShoBox co-feature, Jesse Hernandez narrowly defeated Ernesto Garza via split-decision in an action-packed fight that was scored 95-94 Hernandez, 95-93 Garza, 97-93 Hernandez.

 

 

 

After a close first round, Garza floored Hernandez with a flush left hand to the nose in the closing moments of the second round. Hernandez recovered, and while the middle rounds featured tremendous back-and-forth action, Hernandez seemingly had no trouble walking down Garza, who’s punches seemed to lack any real power. Garza (9-3, 5 KO) found a second wind and seemed to pick up the eighth and ninth rounds until Hernandez roared back in an excellent 10th and final round that featured 178 punzoni totale.

 

 

 

Hernandez (11-1, 7 KO) atterrato 50 percent of his power punches and connected on 40 percent of his punches compared to just 28 percent for Garza, however he threw just 719 total punches compared to more than 1,000 by Garza.

 

“I think it should have been a unanimous decision,” Hernandez said. “I’ve always been a slow starter and I feel like I lost the first two rounds, soprattutto con il knockdown. But I won pretty much every round after that, I maybe lost three rounds.

 

 

 

“I’m not completely happy with my performance. I have to control my distance and my range a little bit better. I need to go back to the gym and work on those things. Before the summer comes I hope to have another fight and I hope it’s on SHOWTIME.

 

 

 

“I give Garza a lot of credit for getting in the ring and knocking me down. He hung in there for 10 rounds even after I caught him with some good shots. He was able to withstand those shots, but all that said, I still think it should have been a unanimous decision.”

 

 

 

Garza countered that sentiment.

 

 

 

“I thought it was a bogus decision,” Garza said. “I don’t understand that last judge’s card. I was happy with everything that I did. I executed well and did everything I needed to do to win the fight.

 

 

 

“I’m really disappointed with the outcome. I felt that I won. A me, I won a majority of the rounds and I knocked him down. I know knocking your opponent down usually leads to you winning the fight.”

 

 

 

Undefeated Uzbekistan power-puncher Shohjahon Ergashev handed Sonny Fredrickson the first loss of his career with an impressive third round TKO in the opening bout of the ShoBox trasmissione televisiva.

 

 

 

The win over the top-10 ranked Fredrickson extended Ergashev’s perfect record to 12-0 con 12 ko.

 

 

 

The 26-year-old pressed the action from the beginning, negating Fredrickson’s five-inch reach advantage with a steady diet of well-timed, crisp punches. Ergashev landed a wide left to the head that stumbled Fredrickson in the opening minute of the third and continued to tee-off as his opponent wobbled against the ropes With Fredrickson (18-1, 12 KO) unable to defend himself and eating a series of brutal lefts, referee Benjy Esteves stepped in to stop the bout at 1:58 del terzo.

 

 

 

All of Ergashev’s 61 connects in the bout were power shots, and he connected on 77 percent of his power punches in the third and final round.

 

 

 

“The ref saved him,” Ergashev said. “If he let him stay on his feet any longer I would have knocked him out. He couldn’t handle my power.

 

 

 

“At this stage of my career, I am in the best shape of my life and the best I have felt. This is my time right now, especially because I am training with Rick (Phillips) e (Javan) Zucchero (Hill Steward). That’s what leads to all of my knockout power.

 

 

 

“I’m ready for whatever comes next. I’m ready for more fights in the U.S., and I want to keep getting more exposure to show off my skills. I’m ready to fight anybody in America.”

 

 

 

Fredrickson, who became the 172 fighter to suffer his professional loss on the prospect developmental series, suffered a jaw injury in the bout and was unavailable for comment.

 

 

 

Di venerdì tripleheader will replay on Lunedi, Jan. 15 a 10 p.m. E/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

CITAZIONI FINALI:

 

 

Claressa Shields:

 

 

“Tori porta un sacco più aggressività, a lot more fight than a lot of my previous opponents. Su carta, lei ha il miglior curriculum di qualsiasi avversario ho affrontato e può mettere su una lotta più.

 

 

 

“Tutti mi sottovaluta a causa della mia taglia. Il mio telaio sembra che io sono un 140 ma in realtà io sono un 168. Ognuno va in una lotta a pensare di poter vincere, but once that right hand lands everything changes. I’m going to go after her in the first round and get her out of there like Nikki Adler.

 

 

 

“Mi aspetto che il mio avversario per applicare pressione, e di utilizzare alcune tattiche sporche. Ha più esperienza, ma non più di tanto quando si parla della sua esperienza amatoriale.

 

 

 

“She’s confident and she believes in herself. She thinks I haven’t earned my place yet. She doesn’t think I throw hard punches. Speed is power. She doesn’t get that.

 

 

 

“Questo è stato un campo difficile, Ho davvero me stesso spinto. Faccio di solito sei settimane, questa volta ho fatto otto settimane. Non avevo combattuto da August così ho voluto darmi un extra di due settimane, quindi sapevo di essere in perfetta forma.

 

 

 

“Non c'è dubbio che io iniziare l'anno con una vittoria, ma vedo questo come una lotta competitiva. Ho intenzione di avere a guadagnare la vittoria, ma credo di poter KO il suo dal sesto, settimo round.”

 

 

 

TORI NELSON:

 

 

“So di essere il perdente, ma ho lasciato cadere nove persone. Non ha segnato un atterramento ancora come un pro. Quando Claressa diventato professionista, Sapevo che avrei dovuto affrontare la sua fine.

 

 

 

“Una vittoria è quello che mi è venuta per. I expect nothing different. I hope it would expose female boxing and not only open doors for me, ma gli altri pugili di sesso femminile fino a venire dopo di me.

 

 

 

“Sento che è più divertente per guardare una lotta femminile. Quando le donne vengono eliminati, ottengono il giusto sostegno e andare dopo di nuovo. Quando gli uomini sono caduto a terra, cominciano a nascondersi, perché non vogliono essere di nuovo colpire. Quindi penso che dovremmo avere pagato tanto quanto gli uomini.

 

 

 

“Sono felice di essere qui, but I’m not a winner until I complete what I came here to do. And that’s win. The odds are definitely against me, ma ho intenzione di scuotere il mondo.

 

 

 

“I want to take her into the deep waters. We don’t think she can beat us in a 10-round fight.

 

 

 

“Non stanno andando a darmi nulla. I have to be a dog and go in there and win this fight. I’ve always been aggressive. Why change anything for her?"

 

 

 

JESSE HERNANDEZ

 

 

“Sto solo cercando di avvicinarsi ad una lotta per il titolo. Muovendo la classifica è l'obiettivo principale in questo momento, e io sono sulla strada giusta. Una vittoria qui in un 10 round lotta sarebbe enorme per la mia carriera.

 

 

 

“Essere un combattente a tutto tondo è qualcosa su cui sto lavorando. Ma non si può diventare un combattente a tutto tondo fino ad ottenere l'esperienza e le lotte ed è quello a cui sto lavorando facendo adesso. Voglio ottenere più giri in e progresso.

 

 

 

“Combattere un mancino non è un problema per me. Posso cambiare la mia posizione, ma non è qualcosa che penso o di un piano. E 'appena avviene naturalmente in una lotta.

 

 

 

“Ho sempre creduto in me stesso, anche quando ho preso tempo fuori. Ho creduto che avrei potuto tornare in esso e arrivare a un livello superiore. The wins over two undefeated fighters did a lot for my confidence. I knew I could do it, ma ha mostrato altri appartengo e che posso competere ai massimi livelli.”

 

 

 

ERNESTO GARZA

 

 

“Mi piace portare la pressione, and he’s a pressure fighter too. We’ll see who backs up once we start throwing punches.

 

 

 

“I like to face fighters who come forward like him so I think everything will work for me. I plan on applying the pressure, lo stancarsi negli ultimi turni, e portarlo fuori.

 

 

 

“Si tende a cambiare, but I think that’s when he gets off-balance. He won’t bring anything I haven’t seen before.

 

 

 

“I’m fighting at my natural weight class this time. My last fight on ShoBox (contro l'imbattuto Jon Fernandez) Stavo combattendo un peso molto più elevato.

 

 

 

“I don’t think his height and reach will give me any issues. I’ve been working with a lot of guys in the gym who have similar size and style. We’re ready for anything.

 

 

 

“A win would be a great step for me and my career. All the doors would open up for us.”

 

 

 

A seguito del Shakh:

 

 

“Mi piace la formazione qui a causa del fatto che si tratta di un ambiente diverso qui negli States. E 'un vero professionista di installazione, Sento che le mie competenze e la mia tecnica hanno ottenuto molto meglio di formazione qui con la Sugar Hill.

 

 

 

“So che lui è un combattente esperto. E 'imbattuto e sta arrivando a combattere. E 'una grande opportunità per entrambi di noi.

 

 

 

“Sono molto onorato di essere su Showtime e felice di essere sempre questo tipo di esposizione nazionali. Una vittoria mi avrebbe cementare come uno dei migliori prospettive welter junior del mondo.

 

 

 

“Ho ottenuto molto meglio di formazione presso la Kronk Gym Boxe a Detroit. Ultimo campo di addestramento è stato un'introduzione allo stile americano di pugilato e questo campo davvero migliorato la mia tecnica e tattica con l'intenso sparring.

 

 

 

"Sono 11-0 con 11 ko. Sono un pugile e voglio buttarlo fuori, ma mi sono allenato per la distanza. Mi sono allenato a bussare qualcuno fuori al primo turno e l'ottava prova.

 

 

 

“Questo è un grande step-up in opposizione, ma ho avuto nel corso 200 combattimenti dilettanti contro alcuni tra i migliori pugili dilettanti nel mondo. Ho battuto campioni olimpici e combattenti dilettanti molto compiuta.”

 

 

 

SONNY FREDRICKSON

 

 

“Ho aspettato per questa esposizione per lungo tempo. Ho cercato di ottenere in TV per gli ultimi due o tre anni, quindi questo è un affare enorme per me. Speriamo che una vittoria mi urta fino in cima 5 e mi dà una title shot alla fine di quest'anno o all'inizio del prossimo anno.

 

 

 

“Abbiamo SPAR molto con Robert (Pasqua). It’s back-and-forth action. We grew up together and learn a lot from each other. Gli do alcune indicazioni qua e là e lui fa lo stesso per me.

 

 

 

“Non so troppo il mio avversario. So che è un mancino e lui ha un forte pugno. E 'una buona partita per me. Vuole continuare a venire in avanti e terrestri pezzi grossi così sarò in grado di outbox lui abbastanza facilmente.

 

 

 

“Non credo che i nervi saranno fattore. Ho combattuto sulla carta di Andre Ward, Sono stato in grandi lotte prima.

 

 

 

“Io vado a buttarlo fuori dopo il terzo turno. Io vado a dire, ehi, tirarlo fuori di qui.

 

 

 

“Dopo questa lotta, I fan potranno iniziare ad imparare il mio nome. Credo che vorranno vedere me avere un colpo al 140 pound titolo.”
