Voormalig wereldkampioen Lipinets strijdt ongeslagen
Custio Clayton voor Interim IBF weltergewicht titel
Live op Showtime® Zaterdag, Oktober 24 Hemelbekleding a
Premier Boxing Champions-evenement

NEW YORK (Oktober 20, 2020) – Zelfs met een verandering in datum en vervolgens tegenstander, voormalig wereldkampioen Sergey Lipinets blijft vol vertrouwen in zijn trainingskamp en algemene voorbereidingen terwijl hij zich voorbereidt om ongeslagen te gaan Custio Clayton voor de Interim IBF Welterweight Titel live op SHOWTIME aanstaande zaterdag, Oktober 24 (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT) headliner van een Premier Boxing Champions-evenement.

“Bij de voorbereiding hebben we geen slag gemist, zelfs als de tegenstander verandert,'Zei Lipinets. "Mijn gevecht met Kudratillo Abdukakhorov was zo lang aan en uit dat ik al een idee had dat hij gedwongen zou worden zich terug te trekken., dus ik was niet geschokt. Het kan me niet echt schelen, hoewel. Tegen wie ik ook moet vechten, ik ben klaar om te vechten, dus ik heb niet overwogen om zelfs maar een seconde terug te komen voor de strijd. "

Lipinets crediteert zijn trainer, de bekende Joe Goossen, voor het mentaal helpen van zijn vechter door de veranderingen, naast de fysieke training die ze hebben ondernomen op weg naar de strijd.

“Het hebben van Joe Goossen is net als het hebben van een psychiater en een trainer,'Zei Lipinets. "Hij is buitengewoon behulpzaam geweest bij het aanpakken van dit alles. Joe hielp me kalm te blijven en te begrijpen dat er altijd iets goeds kan komen uit een slechte of moeilijke situatie, En daarom, Ik ben de focus nooit kwijtgeraakt. "

Clayton is een Canadese Olympiër met een smetteloos pro-cv op weg naar deze confrontatie. Terwijl Lipinets opmerkt dat er verschillen zijn in de vechtstijlen tussen Abdukakhorov en Clayton, niets verandert zijn bedoeling in oktober 24.

'Ik weet dat Clayton een geweldige amateurachtergrond heeft,'Zei Lipinets. "Ik heb zijn stijl bekeken, en het belangrijkste verschil is dat Abdukakhorov actiever is en Clayton nauwkeuriger. Abdukakhorov is ook wat agressiever en Clayton is geduldiger.

"Ik denk niet dat de een moeilijker of gemakkelijker is dan de ander. Ik denk dat iedereen die op dit niveau vecht, een moeilijke tegenstander is. Abdukakhorov beweegt meer en kan onhandiger zijn met de verschillende stijlen die hij gebruikt. Beiden zijn erg stoere jongens, maar ik ben klaar voor Clayton en concentreerde me op dit moment alleen op hem. "

Ondanks zijn enige focus op Clayton, Lipinets weet dat dit gevecht een grote kans biedt om een ​​luide aankondiging te doen aan de rest van de gestapelde weltergewichtdivisie met een grote prestatie om de interim IBF-titel te veroveren..

"Ik ben bereid om een ​​verklaring af te leggen: ik hoor hier thuis,'Zei Lipinets. “Ik wil het beste vechten. Ik wil mijn stempel drukken op deze sport en mijn nalatenschap opbouwen. Ik heb het op de moeilijke manier moeten doen, maar ik klaag niet. Ik vocht voor mijn eerste kampioenschap in mijn 13th pro strijd. Ik geloof dat ik daar thuishoor in de top van deze sport. Mensen moeten mijn naam gaan noemen bij de beste jongens en na dit gevecht zullen ze dat moeten doen. Je kunt niet meer langs me heen kijken. "

Voormalig wereldkampioen Lipinets strijdt ongeslagen
Kudratillo Abdukakhorov voor Interim IBF weltergewicht titel
Live op Showtime® Zaterdag, Oktober 24 Hemelbekleding a
Premier Boxing Champions-evenement

NEW YORK – Oktober 8, 2020 – Voormalig wereldkampioen Sergey Lipinets heeft niets laten, of het nu de pandemie is of een verandering in vechtdatum, hem af te leiden van de voorbereidingen voor zijn strijd tegen de ongeslagen Kudratillo Abdukakhorov,terwijl ze vechten voor interim IBF weltergewicht titel headliner actie live op SHOWTIME zaterdag, Oktober 24 (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT) in een gebeurtenis die door Premier Boxing Champions.

“Ik nam de verandering in datum als een kampioen, en ik doe hetzelfde in oktober 24 dat zou ik op 10 oktober hebben gedaan, ”zei Lipinets. "Ik ben mentaal erg sterk, dus er is echt geen probleem met de verandering van de timing. Het trainingskamp gaat geweldig en dat ben ik ook 100% klaar voor deze. Ik heb samengewerkt met Joe Goossen en sparren met veel geweldige vechters, waaronder Rashidi Ellis en Ronald Cruz. "

De 31-jarige Lipinets crediteert de gerenommeerde coach Goossen voor het prestatieniveau dat hij in de ring heeft laten zien in de twee jaar dat ze samenwerken. De unie tussen Lipinets en Goossen volgde Lipinets 'ren op 140 pond, waarmee hij Akihiro Kondo versloeg voor het IBF Super Lightweight Championship op SHOWTIME in 2017 voordat hij het jaar daarop de titel bij besluit verloor van Mikey Garcia.

“Mijn vooruitgang is volledig toe te schrijven aan het werken met Joe Goossen,'Zei Lipinets. "Het is alsof je een middelbare schoolopleiding hebt gevolgd, dan naar de universiteit, en nu heb ik het gevoel dat ik op de graduate school zit. Ik heb meer geleerd met Joe dan in al mijn vorige tijd in de sport.

“Joe Goossen heeft me veel geleerd over het korte spel en het werken aan de binnenkant. Hij heeft me ook geholpen met mijn zijwaartse beweging en me veel duurzamer gemaakt. Dat is allemaal gecombineerd met mijn kracht die toeneemt 147 pond. Ik ben klaar om alles op 24 oktober te laten zien. "

Lipinets voegde twee knock-outoverwinningen toe aan zijn grootboek 2019. In maart stopte hij tweeklassekampioen Lamont Peterson in een gedenkwaardig vuurgevecht voordat hij Jayar Inson in de tweede ronde in juli uitschakelde.. Een overwinning op oktober 24 zet Lipinets niet alleen in de rij voor de winnaar van de match tussen IBF en WBC kampioen weltergewicht Errol Spence Jr. en tweedeklasser Danny Garcia, maar zal ook helpen om zijn plek tussen de besten in de met sterren bezaaide gewichtsklasse van 147 pond te verstevigen. Echter, deze potentiële high-profile matchups nemen niets weg van zijn focus op weg naar zijn aanstaande gevecht.

"Ik denk niet echt aan de andere top-weltergewichtvechters zoals Errol Spence Jr., Manny Pacquiao, Danny Garcia, Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter of Terence Crawford,'Zei Lipinets. 'Om bij hen te komen, Ik moet in oktober winnen 24. Dan valt al het andere op zijn plaats. De beste jongens zullen met me vechten als het moet. Dat is het verhaal van mijn carrière geweest. Niemand heeft met me gevochten omdat ze dat wilden, maar meestal omdat ze moesten. "

De ongeslagen Abdukakhorov vormt een uitdaging die Lipinets omarmt. Abdukakhorov betreedt dit gevecht na een overwinning op voormalig kampioen Luis Collazo en daarnaast uitgebreide amateurervaring waarvan Lipinets weet dat het hem een ​​formidabele tegenstander zal maken wanneer ze oktober afmaken. 24.

“Niemand staat voor niets bovenaan de IBF-ranglijst,'Zei Lipinets. “Abdukakhorov had een succesvolle amateurcarrière met veel gevechten. Hij beweegt snel en weet de weg in de ring. Ik weet dat hij stoer is, sterk en hij zal zijn best doen om bij mij te blijven. Maar ik ga hem in dozen doen, vecht op afstand als het moet, en punten tegen hem opstapelen. Ik verwacht een geweldig gevecht. Ik zal een plan hebben voor alles wat hij naar de tafel brengt en de overwinning behalen zoals het moet!"

NEW YORK – Oktober 5, 2020 – Voormalig wereldkampioenSergey Lipinetszal het ongeslagen opnemenKudratillo Abdukakhorovvoor de Interim IBF weltergewicht titel headliner actie live op SHOWTIME zaterdag, Oktober 24 in een gebeurtenis die door Premier Boxing Champions.

Super lichtgewicht stijgendMalik "Iceman" Hawkinszal knock-out artiest duellerenSubriel Matikalsin een confrontatie van 10 ronden om de actie op televisie te beginnen.

Lipinets versus. Abdukakhorov was oorspronkelijk gepland voor oktober 10, maar werd verplaatst vanwege een vertraging bij het ontvangen van zijn visum voor Abdukakhorov. Het evenement wordt gepromoot door TGB Promotions, Top Rank, Inc. en Mayweather Promotions.

"Sergey Lipinets kondigde zich vorig jaar aan als een serieuze kanshebber in de weltergewichtdivisie en kan op 24 oktober dichter bij de top van de gestapelde gewichtsklasse komen tegen de taaie ongeslagen Kudratillo Abdukakhorov", zei Tom Brown., President van TGB Promotions. “In undercard-attracties, de ongeslagen Xavier Martínez kan een beste overwinning behalen op de altijd gevaarlijke Claudio Marrero, terwijl de getalenteerde superlichte Malik Hawkins en de krachtige Subriel Matías in botsing komen met een kans voor de winnaar om zichzelf omhoog te stuwen op de 140-pond ranglijst. Dit zijn drie gelijkwaardige wedstrijden die ons veel zullen laten zien over alle vechters, terwijl ze fans trakteren op geweldige actie. "

“Gezien wat Kudratillo heeft doorgemaakt om deze kans te krijgen, het gevecht lijkt gemakkelijker,”Zei Carl Moretti, Top Rank VP van boksoperaties. "Maar iedereen weet dat het niet zo zal zijn.”

De 31-jarige Lipinets (16-1, 12 KO) zal ongeslagen lijken te blijven sinds de overstap naar het weltergewicht in 2018 en zich positioneren voor verdere titelkansen in de weltergewichtdivisie. Geboren in Kazachstan en vertegenwoordiger van Rusland, Lipinets woont nu in Woodland Hills, California en wordt getraind door de bekende coach Joe Goossen. Lipinets heeft drie opeenvolgende overwinningen behaald sinds hij in maart zijn titel van 140 pond verloor aan kampioen in vier divisies Mikey Garcia. 2018. Lipinets scoorde twee overwinningen in 2019, waaronder een onderbreking van kampioen in twee divisies Lamont Peterson in een van de meest opwindende gevechten van het jaar.

Geboren in Oezbekistan en vecht uit Kuala, Lumpur, Maleisië, Abdukakhorov (17-0, 9 KO) is de best beoordeelde weltergewichtmededinger in de IBF-ranglijst. De 27-jarige maakte zijn U.S. debuut afgelopen maart, het verslaan van voormalig titel uitdager Keita Obara met eenparigheid van stemmen. Abdukakhorov volgde daarop met een brede technische beslissing, zegevierde over voormalig kampioen Luis Collazo afgelopen oktober.

Een Mayweather Promotions-prospect uit Sacramento, Calif., Martínez (15-0, 11 KO) heeft getraind voor dit gevecht in Las Vegas, Nev. naast drievoudig kampioen Gervonta Davis. De 22-jarige voegde vorig jaar drie knock-outoverwinningen toe aan zijn record, en heeft zijn laatste zeven tegenstanders gestopt op weg naar oktober 24. Martínez sloeg afgelopen november Jessie Cris Rosales voor het laatst knock-out, en zal de concurrentie aangaan om het op te nemen tegen Marrero, terwijl hij probeert dichter bij een titelschot te komen.

De voormalige interim-vedergewichtkampioen Marrero (24-4, 17 KO) zal opschuiven naar de 130-pond-divisie na een lange termijn van 126-pond, die hem zag voor een hoop kanshebbers en stijgende vooruitzichten. Vertegenwoordigt Santo Domingo, Dominicaanse Republiek, Marrero veroverde in april zijn tussentijdse titel 2017 met een knock-out in de eerste ronde over de ongeslagen Carlo Zambrano. De 31-jarige heeft ook een eerste ronde stilstand van de toen ongeslagen Jorge Lara in april 2018 en een beslissingsoverwinning op vedergewicht mededinger Eduardo Ramirez afgelopen juni.

Een ander stijgend vooruitzicht in de Mayweather Promotions-stal, Hawkins (18-0, 11 KO), vecht uit Baltimore, Maryland en wordt getraind door Calvin Ford, de coach van Gervonta Davis. De 24-jarige triomfeerde in december voor het laatst over de toen nog ongeslagen Darwin Price door middel van TKO in de vijfde ronde. Hawkins had het druk 2019, in totaal vijf overwinningen behalen na een 2018 campagne waarin hij zijn eerste beslissingsoverwinning van 10 ronden behaalde door Raymond Serrano te verslaan.

De 28-jarige Matías (15-1, 15 KO) keert terug naar actie op zoek naar herstel van zijn eerste nederlaag in zijn carrière, een klein beslissingsverlies voor Petros Ananyan in februari van dit jaar. Daarvoor, Matías was allemaal gestopt 15 van zijn tegenstanders die teruggaat tot zijn profdebuut in december 2015. Oktober 24 wordt zijn vierde gevecht in de VS..

Hier is wat de vechters hadden tot woensdag zeggen:

KEITH THURMAN

“We’re back in Brooklyn, it’s been a long time and I’m happy. I feel slim and trim. Everything is great headed into Saturday.

“I had a lot of ups and downs, but once we got into camp, we did what we had to do. We slowly improved each day and now we’re ready. It was a slow start, but we’re going to be finishing strong on Saturday.

“When I’m outside of the ring, I’m not the jealous type watching other people perform. But I feel better when I’m here living out my dream. These past weeks, I have just felt so good. I feel fantastic and ready to perform. I’m going to be an active fighter and one of the best welterweights in the world today.

“My ranking, my ‘0’ and my accomplishments haven’t gone anywhere. I’ve been out of sight and out of mind for a little, maar ik ben nu weer terug. You can’t block a star from shining. We’re in the galaxy and shining bright.

“I’m definitely interested in a big unification fight with Errol Spence Jr. When I first met Errol at MGM Grand years ago, I told him that it’s nice to meet him and I can’t wait to get in there and scrap it out. I’m humble, but I’m also honest. I’m a man of my word. It doesn’t matter how many years ago that I said it, but from that day to this day, it’s a true statement.”

Josesito LOPEZ

“I’m confident in my abilities. Talk is cheap to me. What other people say makes no difference to me. I’ve come here to do a job and I’m going to do it.

“I know that I have a tough task ahead of me, but I also know that I can do it. I can pass this test. I’m ready for it. We’ve prepared right and everything is lined up. We worked hard for 10 weeks and now it’s time.

“It’s hard to say if Keith will be my toughest opponent, but he definitely has a great resume and is a great champion. I’ve fought some great guys but I’m taking this as the most important fight of my career.

“I think that since I started working with Robert Garcia, all of my skills are on par with Keith Thurman. Most importantly, I’m a much smarter fighter than I’ve ever been. I’m always going to be courageous in the ring, but we’ve developed a game plan where I take less unnecessary risks.

“The most important thing in my game plan is for me to dictate the pace. I need to control the ring throughout the fight. I’m prepared for however he brings the fight.”

ADAM Kownacka

“It’s going to be a sea of red and white on Saturday. The Polish fans are unbelievable and I can’t wait to go out there and get a knockout for them.

“I think I’ve improved my speed heading into this fight. Ik voel me geweldig. It’s been a long camp leading up to this huge card. I have to come out at my top condition. I made a slight statement against Charles Martin, and I’m going to make a bigger one against Gerald Washington.

“I definitely want to outdo the performances of Deontay Wilder and my friend Jarrell Miller against Washington. I want to have bragging rights. I want that knockout.

“Washington has fought contenders, good fighters and a guy I lost to in the amateurs in Nagy Aguilera. He’s proven that he’s game, and I’m expecting the best version of him. Ik zal klaar zijn.

“Boxing is a skill, not a bodybuilding contest. I proved my conditioning last fight by throwing 70 stoten een ronde. I’m in ever better shape right and I feel great.”

GERALD WASHINGTON

“We know where we want to be and we know this is a stepping stone to getting back there. I have to take the hard road and this is it. We’re prepared, we’re ready and I’m looking forward to January 26.

“Any of the top heavyweights would be great to fight, maar ik neem het een gevecht op een moment. This is going to be an action-packed fight.

“I have the total package. We’ll see everything I learned from my last fights and see if it makes a difference now.

“I know that Kownacki is going to come forward. I know what kind of fighter he is. I didn’t come here to lose. I came here to win and get back on the right track and into contention to win the heavyweight title.

“Styles make fights. I was doing very well in the Deontay Wilder fight, similar to what Tyson Fury was doing. This is a different type of fight. You’re going to see my skills come to life to contain this man.”

CLAUDIO MARRERO

“We went through a very serious, 10-week camp because we know that we’re here to fight a very strong fighter. I’ve taken everything to the fullest each day with intense work in training camp. Ik ben klaar.

“We respect our opponent, but he’s coming to our weight division. I’ve been making this weight ever since I was a pro. In zijn laatste gevecht, he was dropped by Oscar Escandon, who’s a very good fighter, but he’s a smaller guy.

“We believe that this is the beginning of something beautiful. I’m going to be at the top of the rankings after this fight. We believe that winning this fight is going to take us back to the top level.

“I understand that this is my time to shine. I’m more focused and dedicated than I’ve ever been and it’s going to show in the ring on Saturday night.”

TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYAR

“I feel good and strong. I’ve had a great camp and I’m ready for Saturday night. I’m going to give a great show for the fans in my Brooklyn debut.

“I put everything into camp and I’m going to show it in the ring on Saturday night. I’m here to win and show off my athleticism. I believe I can do everything in the ring.

“Claudio Marrero is a good tough contender who’s been at this level for quite some time. He’s a good boxer who can punch, so we prepared for everything. He may have more pro experience, but I believe I have more boxing experience than Marrero. I’ve seen everything throughout the world.

“Now it’s just a matter of cultivating my skills and experience into becoming a world championship fighter. In this fight, I’m going to dictate the style of the fight. It’s going to go down on my terms.”

CHRIS COLBERT

“I’m going to go out there and dominate like I always do. I don’t have any resolutions for 2019. I’m just going to do the same thing and keep being great.

“New year, same me. I’m out here chasing greatness. I’m looking to keep winning and work my way to a world title. I’m not just talk, I’m the real deal.

“I don’t believe that you can be rushed into a world title fight. Ik ben klaar. I don’t care if I’m considered a prospect for a contender, I’m just going to show everyone that I’m no fluke. I do this differently.

“I always fight for a cause and this time I’ve got my hair dyed pink for breast cancer awareness. It’s for my mom and all of the other survivors and people going through this.”

Thurman will return to action on January 26 from a long injury layoff after his most recent fight saw him unify welterweight titles by defeating Danny Garcia in March 2017 bij Barclays Center. Here is what Thurman had to say about his return, Josesito Lopez and more from his training camp at the St. Pete Boxing Club in St. Petersburg, Florida:

How has training camp been going? Have there been any adjustments because of the injury?

“Training camp has been going well. It was a little bit of a slow start after so many months out of the ring, but I’m feeling great as we get closer to the fight. I’m starting to feel more and more like a world-class athlete again. It’s a good feeling working this hard and it reminds me what it’ll take to continue being the champion.”

Do you anticipate any ring rust? Do you think it will be more difficult to feel like yourself physically in the ring, or mentally trusting the injury is healed?

“I don’t think ring rust will be an issue. The only thing that even if this may not be the best Keith Thurman that people have ever seen, we’re focused on getting better and much stronger with each fight. But make no mistake, people will see one of the best welterweights in the world on January 26 at Barclays Center.”

When did you start to feel like you were turning the corner physically? Were you ever worried you wouldn’t be healthy enough to fight?

“You always have to be a little worried about new injuries. There’s nothing wrong with your car until the day it decides to break down. So at the end of the day, it’s always in the back of my mind. I run a lot of miles, so I wonder about my knees. I wonder about my shoulders also. Athletes and their bodies go through a lot of things. But here I go getting right back into things and I’m totally ready to showcase my talents on January 26.”

What kind of challenges does Josesito pose? What makes him a difficult opponent for you coming off a layoff?

“Josesito is experienced. He’s a busy fighter with good reach. He likes to mix it up and force his opponents to fight. He also has a new coach in Robert Garcia now, and I know he has a lot of confidence in his abilities. Josesito has been through ups and downs in his career, but he’s back on an upswing at the moment. Then he pinpointed me and called me out. So I’m looking forward to the challenge.”

What are you looking to show in this fight? How do you control your emotions and make sure you don’t press too much?

“I’m going to show my versatility in the ring. I’m going to show Josesito what it’s like to be in the ring with me. He might think it’s just all about my power, but I’ll show him what none of his sparring partners could. I’m going to show everyone the full package of skills I bring and enjoy every second of it.”

How do you see this fight looking stylistically?

“I like to let my opponent show me how the fight is going to go. I’ve thought many times that my opponents would do something specific, but then they do something totally different in the moment.

“I’m just prepared for any version of Josesito. I’m ready for him to come at me with punches in bunches, but I’m also ready if he wants to try box more and work behind his jab. I don’t think there’s anything that he’s going to do that I won’t be able to dominate. I’m going to move, trade on the inside, whatever it takes and we’ll see which road to victory looks the easiest.”

Here is what the fighters had to say Saturday before going face-to-face in the Barclays Center interview room, prior to the PBC on FOX fight night in Brooklyn:

KEITH THURMAN “I feel great physically. We’re working really hard and just getting back into everything we did before the injury. It feels tremendous and I’m so happy to be able to do this back in Brooklyn. Januari 26, you will see the return of the number one welterweight in the world. I need to come back and stay active and healthy. I’m going to remind everyone this year why I’m one of the baddest men on the planet. Aan het einde van de dag, I’m here to make a statement that ‘One Time’ is terug. I have one belt, and I’m missing one belt. I’m going to re-establish my own accomplishments this year, then go from there. We’re taking it one fight at a time. Right now my eyes are set on Josesito Lopez.”

“I’m a world-class fighter. I’ve fought through injuries my whole career. A real fighter ends up getting addicted to the game. There’s nothing better in this life than being under those lights and being part of the action. My legacy is not over. Unification against Danny Garcia was not enough for me. Tenslotte, I’m just waiting to be presented with a man who is better than me. There might not be one, but I’m not afraid to let my ‘0’ go. “I need fights like this against a guy like Josesito Lopez. He’s going to be there and give the fans a great fight. He’s coming to take me out. He looked like he was in shape a month ago when I first saw him. “It’s been a long time and I’m truly honored to be back. It’s been hard for me to not be in the ring while I wait for the elbow to recover. I’m so happy to be back.”

Josesito LOPEZ “I’m really excited to be here tonight. Keith Thurman is a world-class, elite fighter and I’m going to make the most of this opportunity. I’ve been in this position before and I’ve never shied away from big battles. This is another big one and I’m going to be ready for it and become world champion.”

“I’m sure Keith Thurman is as strong and skilled as anyone I’ve ever faced. He’s undefeated for a reason. I give him his respect for that. I’m preparing for him to be the best fighter I’ve ever faced. We’re both experienced fighters who have fought world class competition. I’ve faced my share of tough heavy punchers. I’ve pretty much seen it all. Come January 26, we’re going into deep waters and we’ll see how each of us reacts.”

“No matter how active Thurman has been, the importance of this opportunity doesn’t change. If anything we might see a better and healthier Keith Thurman than we’ve seen in years. I’m expecting the best Keith Thurman there is. I’m going in against one of the toughest welterweights out there. I don’t need anyone to believe in me but myself. I’m going to give it my all to come out with that title.”

ADAM Kownacka “Januari 26 is going to be a great night. Elke keer als ik vechten, it’s very exciting. I throw a lot of punches and bring the pressure. Gerald Washington is going to be a tough test, but if I get through him, I’m even closer to a title shot. That’s the ultimate goal.”

“It’s a little bit of a fairytale story. I was just a little kid from Brooklyn wearing the Golden Gloves and now I’m fighting at Barclays Center. It’s a whole new environment. Hopefully next year I’m the main event. That’s the goal and it’s going to be a dream come true. I have to keep working hard to achieve it.”

“I think when I fought Iago Kiladze, he was also a runner who could box. I managed the ring very well with him so I’m looking to do the same with Washington and punish the body. The taller they are the harder they fall. Gerald Washington is a tough exam. He’s a former title challenger and I know he’s going to bringing his A-game. My goal is to become the heavyweight champion of the world and in order to do that I have to get by Washington. That’s what I plan on doing.”

Tickets nu te koop!

BROOKLYN (December 18, 2018) – Undefeated WBA Welterweight World Champion Keith “One Time” Thurman returns to the ring after a lengthy injury layoff to defend his title against veteran Josesito Lopez op zaterdag, Januari 26 live in primetime in the main event o Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes from Barclays Center, het huis van BROOKLYN BOKSEN ™.

Uitgezonden dekking begint bij 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT and will see a co-feature featuring fast-rising unbeaten Polish heavyweight contender Adam Kownacki as he clashes with former title challenger Gerald Washington in a 10-round battle and unbeaten featherweight contender Tugstgogt Nyambayar veldslagen Claudio Marrero to open the telecast.

Tickets for the show begin at $50 en kunnen worden gekocht bij ticketmaster.com, barclayscenter.com,of door te bellen naar 800-745-3000. Tickets can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Groep kortingen zijn verkrijgbaar door te bellen naar 844-BKLYN-GP.

“There is a high level of anticipation and intrigue surrounding the ring return of welterweight champion Keith Thurman, and Josesito Lopez will certainly provide some answers about where Thurman is after nearly two years out of the ring,’’ said Tom Brown, President van TGB Promotions. “Adam Kownacki and Gerald Washington have the opportunity to show exactly where they stand in the resurgent heavyweight division. Both of them are big heavyweights who love to throw power shots. Nyambayar and Marrero are guaranteed to add fireworks to an already thrilling show. It’s the kind of night that will have fans on the edge of their seats.’’

“I speak for boxing fans everywhere when I say we are eagerly anticipating Keith Thurman’s return to the ring,” said Brett Yormark, CEO van BSE Global. “He has experienced great success at Barclays Center, so it’s fitting that he will lead off a strong year of BROOKLYN BOXING programming in 2019. I also look forward to seeing local favorite Adam Kownacki, who always comes with a strong contingent of loud fans.”

Thurman (28-0, 22 KO) made a steady rise through the welterweight ranks and reached the pinnacle with hard-fought victories over Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia at Barclays Center,the latter of which earned him a WBC crown in addition to his WBA title. But a string of injuries has sidelined him for nearly two years, calling into question his place amongst the 147-pound elites. The 30-year-old Thurman, who is still the reigning WBA welterweight champion, is looking to regain his top-tier status in the division starting with Lopez.

Thurman, who lives and trains in Clearwater, Florida, enters the ring for the first time since a split decision victory Garcia on March 4, 2017.

“I’m extremely excited to step back into the ring,’’ said Thurman. “It’s a little nerve-wracking considering the time off and because I want to have a tremendous performance. I want to speak more with my hands more than my words and quiet the naysayers who think that Keith Thurman has lost his passion and skills in boxing. I believe I’m the best welterweight in the division and in the world and I hope to showcase that on January 26 with a knockout. The best fights in the welterweight division have involved Keith Thurman and that will continue to be the case. I’m looking forward to having a tremendous year and showing why I’m number one.”

The 34-year-old Lopez(36-7, 19 KO) is looking to thwart Thurman’s plans to regain his lofty position in the 147-pound division. Nicknamed “The Riverside Rocky’’ because of his all-action style, de rivieroever, California-native has stepped into the ring against some of the best boxers of this generation. He has rattled off three straight victories since suffering a TKO loss to former welterweight champion Andre Berto in 2015. Lopez is coming off a unanimous decision victory over previously unbeaten Miguel Cruz on April 28 live on FOX.

“I’m approaching this fight leaving no stone unturned as I prepare to take that world championship,’’Lopez said. “I’ve set up training camp with altitude, chasing chickens,chopping wood – really into putting in the work. Overall the layoff will affect him and there could be a little hesitation, but we’ll see come fight night. The improvements that I’ve made with Robert Garcia the last couple of years will come into play. They’ve strengthened my qualities and I can’t wait to show it to the world.”

Kownacki (18-0, 14 KO) has risen through the heavyweight ranks with a tough-as-nails brawling style that produced a string of knockout victories and exciting showdowns. His knockout streak ended at four in his last fight when he scored a unanimous decision victory over former heavyweight champion Charles Martin on Sepember 8. Kownacki, who was born in Lomza, Poland and now lives in Brooklyn, will be fighting at Barclays Center for a third straight time and the eighth time overall.

“Living in Brooklyn this is like a home game for me,” said Kownacki.” I’ve had some of my best performances at Barclays Center and I can’t wait to step into the ring against Gerald Washington and showcase myself on PBC on FOX. There is nothing better to start off the year than with a knockout and that’s what I plan on doing on January 26 bij Barclays Center. I hope all my fans will come out like they always do and have the arena in white and red.’’

Washington (19-2-1, 12 KO) is a 6-foot-6 heavyweight who has been able to use his athletic ability to power his way past most of the opponents he faces. That athleticism will pose a challenge to Kownacki, who could be facing the toughest fight of his career.The 36-year-old Washington of Vallejo, California is a former college football standout at the University of Southern California and a U.S. Navy veteran who has challenged Deontay Wilder for his championship. He is coming off a unanimous decision victory over John Wesley Nofire in his last fight on June 10.

“I can’t wait to show everything I’ve been working on,’’ said Washington, “Boxing is a sport of truth. It brings the truth to light and it exposed my truth and what I needed to work on. You have to be able to adjust and be comfortable in every situation. You have to be ready for what’s to come. I’m expecting a hard fight from him. Hij is een krachtpatser. He’s tough and he loves to fight. He’s in his hometown and he’s ready and he’s going to bring it, but I’m ready to position myself to fight again for a world title.’’

Nyambayar (10-0, 9KO) has made a rapid ascent through the talent-laden featherweight division with precision and power. The 26-year-old Nyambayar, who is from Ulan-Bator Mongolia and now lives in Carson, Californië, won a silver medal in the 2012 London Olympics as a member of the Mongolian boxing team. He scored a KO victory over Oscar Escandon in his last fight on May 26.

Marrero (23-2, 17KO), a 29-year-old southpaw from Santo Domingo, Dominicaanse Republiek, is coming off a stunning KO victory over Jorge Lara in his last fight on April 28.Marrero two losses have come against former featherweight champion Jesus Cuellar in 2013 and Jesus Rojas in 2015. A victory over Nyambayar will putMarrero in position to fight for a world title again.w

STEP, TX. (April 28, 2018) – Rugged veteran contender Josesito Lopez (36-7, 19 KO) won een unaniem besluit over Miguel Cruz (17-1, 11 KO)in a welterweight attraction that headlined Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes Saturday night from Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas.

 

 

 

 

“I beat a great undefeated fighter tonight and I was able to out class him,” Said Lopez. “I have some boxing ability clearly. I used my skills tonight. I felt that I dominated the pace, out worked him and I never let him do anything that hurt me.”

 

 

 

 

“Josesito was stronger than I thought,” zei Cruz. “I took a little too long to get off and get going and it cost me.”

 

 

 

 

The action began to heat up in round three as Lopez broke through and began landing flush on Cruz to the head. Lopez controlled the action against Cruz on the ropes and when the real estate shifted to the middle of the ring.

 

 

 

 

Kruis, who stated before the fight that attacking the body would be key, was twice deducted points by referee Rafael Ramos for low blows, once in round five and again in round six. This forced Cruz to abandon his predominant strategy.

 

 

 

 

“I didn’t agree with the calls on the low blows,” zei Cruz. “I didn’t get a chance to work the body like I wanted. That was the plan coming in. They took it away from me.

 

 

 

 

“This is just another step in my journey. I didn’t get hurt or anything. I just need to get better in the gym and keep working combinations. I just have to get better.”

 

 

 

 

Under the guidance of renowned trainer Robert Garcia, Lopez boxed effectively and worked through the body attack and low blows to consistently win rounds and keep Cruz’s offense mostly at bay. Na 10 rondes, judges ruled in favor of Lopez by scores of 98-90 en 99-89 tweemaal.

 

 

 

 

“I think the biggest difference has been Robert Garcia in my corner,” Said Lopez. “He has me living a healthier lifestyle and that played a big part in my victory. I have an elite trainer who is training me like an elite fighter. I was one step behind in the past, but now I think I’ve made up that distance and then some.

 

 

 

 

“Welterweight has a lot of good fighters, but I know I can compete with them. I’m a fan-friendly fighter who’s always going to leave it all in the ring.”

 

 

 

 

The co-main event saw former world champion Anthony Dirrell (32-1, 24 KO) drop El Paso’s Abraham Han (26-4, 16 KO) on his way to a unanimous decision in their 10-round super middleweight contest.

 

 

 

 

 

“I thought I did well tonight boxing him for 10 rondes,” Said Dirrell. “I didn’t think I lost a round. Two of the judges thought so but I can’t do anything about that. Ik deed wat ik moest doen.

 

 

 

 

“Han has an incredible chin. He took everything I gave him. I even went to the body and gave it to him there. I was trying to go the body until the end but he still stood up. All I could do was keep pressuring him and get the victory.”

 

 

 

 

Greeted by a chorus of boos upon entering the ring, Dirrell sent the hometown fighter to the canvas with a right hand to the head late in round one as the bell rang. Han tried to use his movement, switching stances and tying Dirrell up to frustrate his opponent, and had some success as the two men wrestled each other to the canvas in the waning moments of round four and continued to push and shove on the ground until they were broken up by referee Laurence and sent to their corners.

 

 

 

 

Han was able to occasionally land clean punches, but nothing that ever disrupted the attack from Dirrell, who was too consistent and sharp with his power punches. Han believed that his lack of an effective jab hurt him in this fight.

 

 

 

 

“I wasn’t happy with my performance,” said Han. “I couldn’t get my jab going at all. If I had been more effective with that I think I would have been able to win more rounds.”

 

 

 

 

Na 10 rounds of action, all three judges score the bout in favor of Dirrell by scores of 100-89 en 99-90 tweemaal. Dirrell, a former titleholder at 168-pounds vowed that he plans to fight one more time, for a world title.

 

 

 

 

“The champions at 168-pounds better look out,” Said Dirrell. “It’s going to be my last fight but I’m hungry to win another title.”

 

 

 

 

The opening bout of the telecast saw exciting featherweight contender Claudio Marrero (23-2, 16 KO) deliver a stunning one punch knockout of Jorge Lara (29-1-2, 21 KO) in the first round of their featherweight bout.

 

 

 

 

“I knew he would be aggressive and we worked very hard in training camp to achieve this,” said Marrero. “I saw my opportunity and I knew that it was over once I connected.”

 

 

 

“I just got caught with a great punch,” Said Lara. “I wanted to be aggressive and give the fans a great show. It didn’t go my way. I’ll be back and I’ll be better. I’m going to get back to work and keep pushing toward my goals.”

 

 

 

Lara charged forward in the opening seconds, but was caught by a perfect left hook from Marrero during one of the early exchanges in the fight and was sent to the canvas. While he tried to get to his feet, he was clearly hurt as referee Rocky Burke halted the bout 33 seconds into the opening round.

 

 

 

 

“This was a message to the whole division,” said Marrero. “I’m a championship-caliber fighter and I showed it again tonight. I’m ready to take on every champion out there. I want the best challenges and I proved tonight that I’m able to beat anyone. I have all the skills and I can’t wait to show them off against the best.”

“I’m so excited to be finally fighting in Texas and I’ve gotten so much love and support already from this city. I can’t wait to give these fans a show.

“This is a great opportunity to show people outside of El Paso what kind of fighter I really am. I have a lot of experience and I’ve fought all over, but I don’t know if I’ve ever been more prepared for a fight.

 

 

 

“Anthony Dirrell is a great champion but I’m a champion of this city. This is my chance to take down a big name and move to the next level of the sport.”

 

JORGE LARA

 

 

 

“I’m going to leave the ring Saturday night with my hand raised. I’ve had a wonderful training camp and I prepared perfectly for this fight. It will show on fight night.

 

 

 

“Marrero better be ready, because I’m going to come at him and look for the kill early. I want to make a statement and I’ll go through him to make it.

 

 

 

“I’m very focused and ready to take home this win on Saturday night. The fans are going to love my style and the heart that I fight with.”

 

CLAUDIO MARRERO

 

 

 

“I hope that Jorge Lara is ready to fight on Saturday night. This is going to be a battle and I know that we’ll both leave everything in the ring.

 

 

 

“I prepared well for this fight because I know that everything is on the line for me. I have to be victorious so I can go on and get where I want to in boxing.

 

 

 

“I’m more skilled and more experienced than anyone that Lara has faced and on Saturday night I’m going to give him lots of problems.”
