LAS VEGAS (Svibanj 2, 2019) – Unbeaten super lightweight contender Juan Heraldez is looking to make a statement when he takes on former world champion Argenis Mendezin a 10-round showdown Saturday, Svibanj 18 živjeti na Showtime iz Barclays Center, dom BROOKLYN Boks ™, i predstavio Premier Boks prvaka.

I have to outclass him and make him not even want to fight anymore,” said Heraldez. “I’m going to make him retire. My goal on fight night is to win and show out for my Mexican fans in New York.

Heraldez, who trains out of the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas with coach Otis Pimpleton, made his 2019 debut in February by knocking out Eddie Ramirez in round seven of their super lightweight fight. Mendez is another step up in competition for the 28-year-old.

On paper he’s the toughest fighter I’ve faced,” said Heraldez. “I only watched some of his fight against Ramirez, but being a former world champion, it means he’s doing something right. I don’t think he does anything better than me and I’m looking to show it on fight night.

This will be Heraldez’s first fight on SHOWTIME, giving him a chance to shine on a big stage leading up to the Deontay Wilder heavyweight world title defense against Dominic Breazeale in the main event. For Heraldez, he sees this is an opportunity to display what he’s already being doing in the ring for years.

I’m excited to be able to show off what I’ve always been able to do,” said Heraldez. “It’s going to be no surprise to the people around me who know what I’m capable of. It’s another stage with more people watching, but the ring and everything else stays the same.

A fight like this adds more motivation for my future because I want to keep changing the lives of my family. Little by little, win by win and fight by fight, I can accomplish that. That’s where my motivation comes from.

A Las Vegas-native who is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, Heraldez believes he’s ready for a world title shot and knows that Argenis Mendez is currently in his path to getting that coveted opportunity.

If the title fight is there after I beat Mendez, I’m taking it,” said Heraldez. “That’s one of the ultimate goals and something I’ve been preparing for my whole career. I’m going to keep training hard like I always do to be at my best against Mendez. I’m going to have a great performance May 18 and they won’t be able to deny my place in this division.

Tickets for this BombZquad event can be purchased at ticketmaster.comabarclayscenter.com. Tickets also can be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Grupni popusti su dostupni pozivom 844-BKLYN-GP. The Heraldez vs. Mendez fight is co-promoted with Mayweather Promotions.

I’m one of the best super lightweights in the world and I’m going to show it again on May 18,said Heraldez. “They keep lining them up and I’ll keep knocking them down. Mendez is good, veteran opposition, but I’m going to show I’m on a different level. This is a great opportunity to once again perform on a big stage and I’m going to take full advantage and steal the show.
 
Mendez (25-5-2, 12 Kos) most recently fought to a competitive split-draw against Anthony Peterson in March, running his unbeaten streak up to three fights. The 32-year-old defeated Eddie Ramirez and Ivan Redkach in back-to-back fights after losses to Robert Easter Jr. and Luke Campbell. Originally from San Juan de la Maguana, Dominican Republic and now living in Brooklyn, NY, Mendez won the IBF super featherweight title with a knockout victory over Juan Carlos Salgado in 2013.
 
This fight is do or die for me to become champion again,” Said Mendez. “Anthony Peterson ran from me in our fight in March, so if Heraldez does that on May 18, I will be better prepared. If he stands and fights with me, I feel strongly that I will dominate him and make a statement to everyone that I’m an elite 140-pound fighter.

BROOKLYN (Ožujak 19, 2019) – WBC prvak u teškoj kategoriji Deontay “Brončana bombarder” Wilder and mandatory challenger Dominic “Nevolja” BREAZEALE went face-to-face Tuesday at a heated press conference to officially announce their heavyweight title showdown taking place Saturday, Svibanj 18 živjeti na Showtime iz Barclays Center, dom BROOKLYN BOXING ™ i predstavljen od strane Premier Boxing Champions.

I, tickets can be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Grupni popusti su dostupni pozivom 844-BKLYN-GP.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Tuesday from Barclays Center:

DEONTAY WILDER

It’s a pleasure to be back here in Brooklyn. Barclays Center is very close to my heart. I’ve been here so many times and I have a real connection to this arena. I’ve had some of my most memorable moments in the ring here.

It’s always great to get a mandatory out of the way. They’re like flies buzzing in my ear. I just want to get them out of the way so I can do great things for the heavyweight division. I want one champion, one face, one name, but you need a lot of cooperation to make that happen.

I want to prove to the world that I’m the best. That’s what I believe in my heart. Until someone proves me wrong, I will continue to believe that. Breazeale is the next man in line. I can’t wait for this one.

I’m just going to show everyone on May 18. The way I feel right now, the fight could be this week. The champion must always be ready for whatever a challenger can bring.

I hope he’s training his hardest. I’m glad he has Virgil Hunter on his side to show him something new. Every man I’ve faced; they’ve landed on the canvas. I’m going to continue to do that on May 18.

No man who gets in the ring will be able to defeat Deontay Wilder. I hold the keys to the heavyweight division. No fighter is doing what I’m doing. I’m trying to give the fans something they’ve never seen before.

Enjoy this one, because it’s going to be a massacre. Svibanj 18 will be a beautiful day for me and a beautiful day to see what I’m planning to do for the sport of boxing.

DOMINIC BREAZEALE

I’m super excited for this. I’ve been waiting over a year and a half for a shot at this title. I’ve got three knockouts here at Barclays Center and I can’t wait for another.

I’m a great fighter but there are always things to be learned. I’ve learned a lot already with Virgil Hunter. I bring something that everyone wants to see from heavyweights, and that’s trouble. I’m going to bring pressure and action.

I’m sick of seeing this guy walking around with his belt. I’m going to put him down. People are going to be rising to their feet when I knock him down.

I’m so excited to get this fight. I’ve been on Deontay’s undercards and I steal the show every time. Deontay does nothing right in the ring. He looks like a circus-act. All he does is talk. But there’s nothing he can say on May 18.

Deontay loves to hear his own voice. All he does is talk and talk. It’s time to get in the ring. Nobody can get in there and save him. It’s just me and him. Leather on leather. We’ll see who lands first. Hopefully he gets off the canvas.

VIRGIL HUNTER, Breazeale’s Trainer

It’s a pleasure to be here at Barclays Center for a heavyweight championship fight. We have a monumental task to try to overcome. Dominic and I connected last month and after a few workouts, we saw we had a good fit and an understanding of what needs to be done.

Dominic works hard, he’s very determined and he knows that this is his opportunity and he can’t let it slip away from him. He also knows the risk at hand. We’re looking forward to May 18.

STEPHEN Espinoza, Predsjednik Sport & događaj Programiranje, Showtime Networks Inc.

We are thrilled to be bringing you Deontay Wilder vs. Dominic Breazeale on SHOWTIME. It would be an understatement to say that there has been a lot of speculation regarding Deontay’s future. We’re proud to have him on SHOWTIME. It was critical for Deontay, for the sport and his fans, that this fight be available not on pay-per-view, but on SHOWTIME. Because of his insistence, that’s the primary reason we’re standing here today.

SHOWTIME is where this fight belongs. We’re the home of the biggest fights and best talents, month in and month out. This is where a heavyweight title fight belongs. This will be Deontay’s 12th appearance on SHOWTIME and or SHOWTIME PPV and we’ve built something special.

Recently ESPN named its World Fame 100, which lists the most talked about athletes in the world. Deontay is ranked 34, two slots behind Tom Brady and higher than any other active boxer in the sport. He’s a bonafide superstar, there is no question.

Dominic Breazeale is big, jak, experienced and powerful. Above all, he’s motivated. It’s no secret that there is a personal rivalry between these two fighters. This will not be a friendly promotion. There is genuine animosity. This is a premium fight and this is the heavyweight championship on May 18 live on SHOWTIME.

Quebec City (Prosinac 1, 2018) – Adonis Stevenson’s five-and-a-half-year reign as the WBC Light Heavyweight Champion is over. Oleksandr Gvozdyk dethroned boxing’s longest reigning champion with a devastating 11th round knockout Saturday in Quebec City in a SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION telecast that immediately preceded the Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury SHOWTIME PPV.

 

 

 

Gvozdyk (16-0, 13 Kos) used a powerful multi-punch combination in the penultimate round to put the back-and-forth bout out of question. The former Olympic bronze medalist and amateur teammate of fellow Ukrainians Vasyl Lomachenko and Oleksandr Usyk was impressive throughout the entire fight. He executed trainer Teddy Atlas’ game plan to perfection and was the busier of the two fighters. Stevenson (29-2-1, 24 Kos), who was making his 10th Naslov obrana, was able to land his signature left hand on several occasions, most notably in the tenth round, but never did enough to truly trouble his opponent.

 

 

 

“This win means everything to me. I’ve trained my whole life for this and tonight all of the hard work was worth it,” said Gvozdyk, who was the mandatory challenger for Stevenson. “Having Teddy [Atlas] in my corner was a huge help. He knew exactly what to say to me. We trained so well for this fight and I knew I was going to get the knockout.

 

 

 

“Adonis was a great champion but it’s my time now. He got me with a good shot in the 10th round but I handled it and finished him. Sada, I just want to rest before I discuss my next step. I definitely want to stay at 175 funti. "

 

 

 

Stevenson was transported to a local hospital as precautionary measure and was unavailable for comment following the fight.

 

 

 

Subotnji jedna boriti TV prijenos iz Quebeca će ponovno u ponedjeljak, Prosinac 3 na 10 poslije podne. ET / PT na Showtime EXTREME, te će biti dostupan na Showtime bilo kada® i SHOWTIME na zahtjev®.

Obračun Tysona Furyja koji će biti uživo na SHOWTIME PPV® Subota navečer iz centra STAPLES u događaju koji su predstavili Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

Na medijskom okruglom stolu nastupili su velikani teške kategorije Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Riddick Bowe, Gerry Cooney, Earnie brijači aparati, Buster Douglas a Michael Spinks dok su rušili subotnju bitku neporaženih divova.

Domaćin okruglog stola bio je nagrađivani novinar SHOWTIME Sports Jim Gray iz hotela Westin Bonaventure & Apartmani, Los Angeles. Evo što su legende teške kategorije morale reći u petak:

 

EVANDER HOLYFIELD

 

 

“Osjećam da će Deontay Wilder pobijediti jer će na kraju doskočiti toj desnoj ruci. Vrlo je strpljiv. On je mislilac, ali može i riskirati. Kad ljudi riskiraju, oni pobjeđuju.

 

 

 

“Deontay možda neće imati toliko iskustva kao mi danas, ali on ima moć. To ljudi žele vidjeti i mislim da će biti sretni kad to vide.

 

 

 

“Bilo je trenutka u kojem je svaki veliki teškaš bio iz Sjedinjenih Država. Imali smo jako dobar amaterski program. Bio sam posljednji pravi prvak u teškoj kategoriji iz SAD-a. prije Wildera i dok nisam izgubio odluku protiv Lennoxa.

 

 

 

“Biti svjetski prvak u teškoj kategoriji, i reći da ste najbolji, moraš se boriti protiv bilo kojeg muškarca.”

 

Lennox Lewis

 

 

 

“Mislim da će to biti sjajna borba. Deontay Wilder ima sjajnu desnu ruku i kad padne, ne može se previše ljudi tome suprotstaviti. Također mislim da ne možete povrijediti ono što ne možete pogoditi. Tysona Furyja nije lako pogoditi. Ima velike sposobnosti i kretanje. Idem s Deontayem rano ili Fury kasno.

 

 

 

“Svi znamo kakav je osjećaj izgubiti prvenstvo u teškoj kategoriji. Znamo koliko je teško to vratiti. Fury ga je izgubio, a sada to želi natrag. Sad vidim da se žrtvuje i govori sebi da to nije smio izgubiti, a sada ga mora povratiti.

 

 

 

“Mislim da pogled u Velikoj Britaniji. je da je Tyson Fury čovjek koji se pojačao. Rukavica je bačena tamo i zauzeo se za Britaniju. Deontay je došao u Englesku da izazove Anthonyja Joshuu, ali Tyson Fury je bio taj koji se odazvao pozivu.

 

 

 

“Rekao bih da postoji nekoliko meka u boksu koja su mjesta na kojima se svi žele boriti. Las Vegas, New York i naravno, Los Angeles. Moja borba protiv Vitalija Klička u STAPLES centru bila je sjajna borba. Moj plan te večeri nije bio boksati da bih otišao na daljinu, Boksao sam da pređem kratku udaljenost i to je i učinio.”

 

RIDDICK POKLON

 

 

 

“Sutra navečer idem s Deontayem Wilderom. Priredit će sjajnu predstavu za sve i dobiti još jedan nokaut.

 

 

 

“Tyson Fury je vješt i visok, ali za mene, ne radi dovoljno na napadu. Kreće se, ali ne miče dovoljno ruke.”

 

GERRY COONEY

 

 

 

“Mislim da je to sjajna borba sutra navečer. Znamo da se Fury vraća motiviran. Ako Wilder nađe dom za to pravo, izvest će Furyja. Mislim da će se povezati kad-tad tijekom borbe.

 

 

 

“Mislim da je Tyson Fury sjajan čovjek za koliko se vratio u životu i za suprotstavljanje Deontayu Wilderu. Fury ga je prozvao, pa možda zna nešto što mi ne znamo.

 

 

 

“Tako mi je drago što sam ovdje. Pogledajte sve ove sjajne teškaše i sjajne momke. Posebna je i svi su ovdje da gledaju ovu borbu sutra navečer.”

 

EARNIE BRAVICI

 

 

 

“Ja i Deontay smo oboje iz Alabame. Uskoro ću biti primljen u Sportsku dvoranu slavnih u Alabami, a jednog će dana biti i Deontay. Deontay je izvrstan udarač i vučem za njim sutra navečer.

 

 

 

“Borio sam se u velikoj eri. Ako se borite s dečkima na istoj razini, dobit ćete dobre borbe. Ovi bi momci danas mogli ući tamo u naše dane i prirediti dobru predstavu.”

 

BUSTER DOUGLAS

 

 

 

“Mislim da će ovo biti dobra natjecateljska borba. Kad bih morao odabrati, Uzeo bih Deontaya Wildera nokautom u osmoj rundi.

 

 

 

“Osjećam da je Tyson Fury već pobijedio boreći se i ulazeći u sjajnu formu i nalazeći se u ovoj poziciji. Siguran sam da su mnogi ljudi mislili da ga nikad više neće vidjeti ovdje. To je pobjeda sama po sebi.

 

 

 

“Moja pobjeda nad Mikeom Tysonom na sjajan je način promijenila moj život. Sad sam bio prvak svijeta u teškoj kategoriji. San mi se ostvario. Jedino što je moglo to nadmašiti bilo je vidjeti moje dvoje najmlađe djece.”

 

MICHAEL SPINKS

 

 

“Neka kum pobijediti. Ne znam tko je u najboljoj formi, ali mislim da me Fury zbog izlaska iz ringa naginje prema Deontayu Wilderu. Ako je Fury osobno toliko velik koliko kažu da jest, on ima veliku priliku.

 

 

“Ako ste underdog, jednostavno morate nastaviti s onim što znate i na čemu ste radili. Ne možete obratiti pažnju na sumnjičave. Usredotočite se na ono za što ste se pripremili i dajte sve od sebe. Uvijek sam se vidio kako pobjeđujem. Najveći je osjećaj izaći iz ringa pobjednički.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites Los Angeles:
JARRETT HURD
Everything that my team and I have spoken about has come to pass. I’m here as the co-main of a massive card and I’m just really appreciative of everyone who believed in me and helped push me to this moment.
Saturday night I want to show my versatility. Everyone has seen that I’m electrifying. I bring the action. But I want to show that I am swift and I do have defense. I know how to use my height and range. I’m still going to bring the action on Saturday, so you have to make sure to tune-in.
We don’t think of Welborn as a tune-up fight. Jason Welborn is a British champion for a reason. We just want to go out there and establish the game plan we worked on in camp.
I want to show my defensive side and show that I can box and move. I want to show that I don’t have to just keep coming forward. I’m going to be able to do that and start to break him down and get him out of there.
Everybody sees my demeanor, and they know that I carry that to the ring. My composure is my biggest attribute. Bez obzira što bilo tko kaže, I’m always going to be me.
I’m number one in the division and things are going to play out how I want them. We’ve had three tough camps training for southpaws. When I eventually fight (WBC champion) Jermell Charlo, I’m going to be ready because of all the work on my versatility and defense. I’ll be ready for Jermell Charlo.
I want to be an active champion because I didn’t have a lot of amateur fights. I need to stay in the ring and get all the experience I can. I want to get these good fights in while I’m still young and healthy.
I’m back from my surgery and we’re going to get back to the old Jarrett Hurd. I’m going to show everyone all that I can do. Everyone knows that there’s always going to be action. It’s going to be a wonderful fight on a wonderful card. Don’t blink during this one.
JASON WELBORN
This is a dream come true to be here today. Hurd has worked his way up to get here just like I have. Sada, he’s in my way. I hope everyone enjoys what I bring to the table on Saturday night.
I have the belief that I’m born and bred for this game and I’m going to show it to the whole world on Saturday night. I always prove people wrong.
The last two years I’ve become the best in Britain and beaten everyone they put in front of me. When people doubt me, I train even harder. I’m coming to win and I’ve got nothing to lose.
I have to get what I deserve and I’ll do it on Saturday night. I’ve already been through the storm. He’s got what I want.
I’ve got to enjoy the fight and get what I want. He can look past me all he wants, but once he feels what I bring to the table, we’ll see how he reacts. I’m ready for whatever he’s going to bring to the table.
LUIS ORTIZ
I want to thank everyone who has helped me get this opportunity. I like to do my talking in the ring, but I’m happy that Travis Kauffman stepped up. A lot of heavyweights haven’t done that and I’m glad we can make this fight happen.
I’m coming to do my job. This is a heavyweight fight and we know that means one punch can change everything. It’s not going to end well for Travis on Saturday night.
“Tamo su 10 rounds to get the job done, and three minutes per round. I’m going to get my job done. The job is to seek and destroy. So I hope that Travis is very prepared to give the fans a great show. Saturday night you’ll see ‘King Kong’ u prstenu.
I’ve pushed myself even harder than ever in training camp. Mi držati s istim igra plan obitelji prvi i vjerujem da će biti nagrađeni. Moj petogodišnji dječak me podsjeća da imam gubitak i da motivira me trenirati teže i teže.
“Očekujem Travis imati veliko povjerenje on pokazuje. To je velika prilika za njega, a ja sam siguran da će biti motivirani. Ja sam motiviran za svaku borbu, jer to je ne samo o mom protivniku. Moj cilj je pružiti za moju obitelj i Travis je na putu. Nikad nisam odvratiti od tog mentaliteta i to je dobio mene spremna za subotu navečer.”
TRAVIS Kauffman
“Ja sam zahvalan Luis Ortiz za uzimanje ovu borbu. Svatko se boji da ga se boriti, ali ne bojim se nikoga. Svi znamo da je Luis Ortiz može bušiti, but I don’t care about any of that. It’s my time. I come from a rough background and I won’t back down.
“Ovo je moje vrijeme. There’s nothing that’s going to stop me from taking this guy down. He’s so worried about Deontay Wilder, but he has to worry about me before he gets any rematch.
You might not know who I am right now, but you will after Saturday night. I’m going to make sure people remember my name.
Luis Ortiz is very skilled, but if you want to be the best you have to fight the best. No one actually wants to step up and take this fight, but I really believe this is my time. I bring some heat in the ring and I come to fight every time.
JOE JOYCE
I’m excited to be on this massive card. I’m going to give the whole world a treat as part of a great event. You have to tune-in and watch me start the show off right on Saturday night.
Training in Big Bear has been a perfect environment for me. It’s in the mountains, it has the altitude and it’s secluded. I’ve seen what goes into their training camps and worked alongside the best in the world. They’ve helped me install the kind of style that will have me at my best.
I have the Olympic pedigree, but now it’s about advancing the brute strength and really getting the perfect snap on my shots.
Sparring against Tyson Fury was really top-level work. I know that it’s made me a better fighter. He’s looking fit and strong and it shows when you’re in the ring with him.
“Ovo je velika prilika. Abel Sanchez has done a tremendous job getting me ready for this position. I’m excited to show everyone my skills and everything I’ve learned.
I’m glad that Joe Hanks decided to take this fight. I can’t wait to lace up the gloves and get the party started. I’m going to keep my knockout streak going and I guarantee it’s going to be exciting
JOE HANKS
It’s been a long time coming for this moment. I’m thankful to my team and I’m excited to be on this card with other great heavyweights. It’s a great time to be a heavyweight. I’m ready to put my name in the ring to have the chance to really do something special with a great performance Saturday.
The work has been done. I did everything that I had to do. I’ve done more than I did preparing for my past fights. Being the underdog doesn’t mean much to me. I’m from Newark, New Jersey, and we’re all underdogs there.
I’ve put the time in and I’ve had everyone supporting me and pushing me and I think it’s going to get me over the hump. I’m just really excited to get in there.
STEPHEN Espinoza, Predsjednik Sport & događaj Programiranje, Showtime Networks Inc.
When we talk about Jarrett Hurd, he’s a fighter who has seemingly come out of nowhere and has had an incredibly rapid rise to the top. He was not a decorated amateur. He has learned on the job. All he has done since beating Oscar Molina in 2016 is impress. He is recognized as one of the bright young stars in boxing. He has been off due to injury and certainly could have taken an easier fight than Jason Welborn, who is a British Commonwealth champion. We’re expecting an action fight there.
Luis Ortiz is one of the top heavyweights in the world. He has one blemish on his otherwise perfect record, a loss to Deontay Wilder. Perhaps Ortiz was just seconds away from victory. We talk about a slim margin in fights, that was the slimmest of margins. I think he is going to be trying to make a statement on the undercard that he deserves a rematch against Deontay Wilder. Standing in his way will be Travis Kauffman. This is another all-action fight filled with big punchers.
In our opening bout, we have one of the most talked-about rising young heavyweights in the sport – Joe Joyce, who is taking on a tough veteran in Joe Hanks. Kao što znamo, the heavyweight division has been the focus more in the last six to nine months than we’ve seen in the last couple decades. Joe Joyce is at the top of the list on the potential next wave of future stars. He is certainly not wasting any time taking on a fighter of Joe Hankscaliber.
When you look at the card overall, you’ve got some of the biggest punchers in boxing. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see several knockouts on this card. Don’t miss the action.
