He takes on another prospect looking to leap to contender status in the 23-year-old Davis (13-1, 5 Uitklophoue) from Delaware who enters this bout on a three-fight winning streak.
The card continues with former heavyweight world champion Charles Martin (25-1-1, 23 Uitklophoue) in an eight-round fight, voormalige wêreld titel uitdager Willie Monroe Jr. (21-3, 6 Uitklophoue) in an eight-round middleweight affair and a pair of local welterweight prospects fighting at Barclays Center for the fourth time as Richardson Hitchins (3-0, 1 KO) en Kenny Robles (2-1, 1 KO) compete in separate six-round attractions.

BROOKLYN (Februarie 12, 2018) – Top super middleweight contender Andre Dirrell clashes with hard-hitting Jose Uzcategui in a rematch for the IBF Interim 168-pound world title live on SHOWTIME Saterdag, Maart 3 van Barclays Center, die huis van BROOKLYN boks ™, as part of a tripleheader presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
Heavyweight champion Deontay “Die Brons Bomber” Wilder will defend his title against Luis “Die Real King Kong” Ortiz in the main event of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING tripleheader. Die uitsending begin by 9 namiddag. EN/6 namiddag. PT and also features undefeated former 154-pound champion Jermall Charlo neem op Hugo Rye, Jr. for the interim WBC middleweight title in the co-feature.
Kaartjies vir die lewende gebeurtenis, wat bevorder word deur DiBella Vermaak en TGB Promotions, begin by $50 en is nou op die rakke. Om kaartjies te koop, besoek Ticketmaster.com, BarclaysCenter.com, of oproep 800-745-3000. Kaartjies vir die geleentheid kan ook gekoop word by die American Express Box Office by Barclays Center.
The hotly contested first match between Dirrell and Uzcategui, which was also for the IBF interim world title, ended in controversy after Uzcategui was disqualified for landing a punch after the bell sounded to end the eighth round. Dirrell was dropped and knocked out by the punch. The referee ruled that the punch was intentional and disqualified Uzcategui. In the IBF mandated rematch, Dirrell and Uzcategui will look to put themselves in position to fight for the super middleweight title that Caleb Truax recently earned via a majority decision over James DeGale.
Dirrell (26-2, 16 Uitklophoue), a bronze medal winner for the 2004 U.S. Olympic boxing team, continues his quest for a world championship. The 34-year-old southpaw from Flint, Michigan lost a split decision to Carl Froch in his first attempt in 2009 and dropped a narrow unanimous decision to DeGale in his next attempt in 2015.
“I’m extremely excited to be a part of one of the most dynamic tripleheaders this year,” Dirrell said. “This time around I’ll be phenomenal and leave no doubt who the better fighter is. Ek is 100 percent focused on dominating Uzcategui on March 3 and getting another shot at the title.”
The 27-year-old Uzcategui (26-2, 22 Uitklophoue), who is from Venezuela and now lives in Tijuana, Mexiko, worked his way up to the match against Dirrell with a string of four straight stoppage victories, including a stunning upset of Julian Jackson in 2015. Uzcategui dropped Jackson four times on the way to a second round technical knockout victory.
“I’m very excited to go get what’s mine,” Said Uzcategui. “I feel I won the last fight. I didn’t feel I did anything wrong. What happened in the last fight is in the past. I’m going to get what belongs to me. The world will see what ‘Bolivita’ can do and they’ll want to see more of me.”

LOS ANGELES (Februarie. 9, 2018) – Just days after the birth of his daughter, American heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder met with members of the Southern California media op Donderdag as he prepares to defend his WBC Heavyweight World Championship against fellow-undefeated challenger Luis Ortiz Saterdag, Maart 3 woon op Showtime van Barclays Center, die huis van BROOKLYN boks ™.
Wilder and his girlfriend, fellow “WAGS Atlanta” star Telli Swift welcomed their daughter into the world Dinsdag before Wilder turned his focus to Maart 3, climbing in the ring at Team Watson Boxing Club in the San Fernando Valley to work out with his Los Angeles-based trainer Mark Breland, the former U.S. Olympics gold medalist and former WBC Welterweight World Champion.
The 32-year-old Wilder owns a perfect record of 39 oorwinnings, zero losses and 38 uitklophoue. Fighting out of his hometown of Tuscaloosa, Ala., Hy was 'n 2008 Olympic Bronze Medalist and is the only reigning American heavyweight world champion. The 6-foot-7 Wilder faces the toughest opponent of his career in Ortiz, a 6-foot-4 Cuban who owns a professional record of 28-0 met 24 uitklophoue.
Here is what Wilder had to say op Donderdag:
DEONTAY WILDER:
“Once I unify all the titles then line up the mandatories, I’ll easily get to 50-0. I’m not a 12-round fighter, and I don’t get overtime. I’m a knockout artist. So that being said, I don’t take much damage, but I give all the damage. I put people in the hospitals. I put people in stretchers. When you fight me your head is not the same when you leave. When you fight me you’re really signing a death warrant.
“This is one of the biggest fights of my career and I’m up for the challenge. I’m going to pass with flying colors.
“Ortiz has got that reputation of being the bogeyman but I’ve never been scared of the bogeyman. For that reason, I wanted him. A lot of people have been avoiding him, even champions that are champions to this day have avoided Luis Ortiz. But this champion right here took on the opportunity.
Even when [Ortiz] failed the drug test once, I still blessed him again because I’m very adamant about what I want to do. Ek wil die beste om te veg. I say I’m the best. I say it very proudly, I say it very confidently. I say it so boldly and I want to show the world that I don’t play around. If I say it, I really mean what I say. I don’t have time to waste.
“If he fails again then somebody’s going to need to go whoop his ass. The public needs to whoop his ass. All of Miami should get up and do that. The first time, a lot of people spent a lot of time and a lot of money for tickets and he did what he did. A lot of people were enraged. I heard it and a lot of people blamed me, which I don’t know why. Maar, with this fight right here and what I did with my last performance, it makes it even better. It intensifies the whole fight. So, if he [fails his drug test again] then shame on him. I feel sorry for his soul and his life. I don’t think he’s going to do that. I think he has a lot of responsibilities in his hands right now. At this point in time he knows he needs to do the right thing. Three times is not the charm in all instances.”
“I don’t focus on what these guys are doing. I don’t focus on what their strengths are. I just focus on me. I focus on what I’m capable of doing. I focus on what I’m going to do and when I tell people I’m going to do something, you know I’m going to do it. At the end of the day that’s what my father taught me. There weren’t any contracts back in the day, it was just the shake of a hand. And if you said something and you didn’t abide by it, there’s consequences to your actions, to your words. To this day, I abide by that. So, if I say I’m going to do something it’s guaranteed to be done.”
On his lifestyle outside of boxing:
“I just think life itself is just mental. I do a lot of visualization. I do a lot of meditation. It strengthens my mind to go through a lot of the situations that I go through. Having a baby and being on a reality show, all of that is fun stuff. Some people know how to maintain it and some people don’t. I’m just a guy that multitasks a lot of things. I can do a lot of things. Even when I’m talking to you, my mind can be in so many different places right now and still be able to comprehend and interact with you. So, I think I was meant for a lot of things. Boxing is just not what all I can do. I’m so talented in so many different areas.
“I’m a laid back guy. In my personal life I’m just a cool, calm and collected dude that likes to live life and I love peace. Ongelukkig, in what I do in the ring, I turn into the ‘Bronze Bomber’ and the ‘Bronze Bomber’ don’t get caught by none.”
On being on reality TV and recognized by non-boxing fans:
“I think it’s very important. People need to know who the heavyweight champion of the world is. America got a bad man, an ass-whooper, right in America. I think it’s important and people should understand and should know who that is. That’s why I do the things I do. That’s why I’m so competitive. That’s why I speak the way I speak. Sometimes it may annoy people, it may get on people’s nerves and I never hear it in front of my face, but I understand it. I do it to show people that I’m going to speak it and you’re going to see me deliver it. I think you get the most respect when you say something you’re going to do and you do it. Look at Ali, people hated him. They say he was a big mouth who ran his mouth too much but he proved himself many times and that’s that thing I want to do. I want to speak what I say I’m going to do and you watch me work.”
On Anthony Joshua:
“I want him just as bad as everybody else wants him. If it was up to me, we would’ve been fighting two years ago. I’ve been calling this man out. When they hyped him up and said he was this, said he was that. I’m the type of person that I get happy for other people. With me and my happiness and me being successful, that’s all up to me. It ain’t up to nobody else. So, when I see other people doing great things, when I see good things coming to other people, I get happy for other people. It’s a hard thing for people to get happy for other people because things don’t happen for them but I’m not like that because I know my blessings will sure enough come. All I got to do is keep working.
“I come in peace all of the time but with him, I don’t think Joshua wants to fight me. His promoters don’t want him to fight me. They’re on the goal of trying to build this resume, saying they want to be the first billionaires, stuff like that. But doing that, the plans all end with me. All roads lead to me. I’m not going nowhere, no time soon. They know black don’t crack. So, I’m going to be around for a long time. I ain’t the best heavyweight in the division. I’m the best heavyweight on this earth. I’m just waiting on the opportunity to prove it.”
Prediction on Joshua-Parker:
“I’ve always said ‘later rounds’. I see that fight going later rounds if Joseph Parker is smart in what he does. He has nice movement and is able to execute on all of the opportunities that he sees with Joshua. Because Joshua can’t move his head. He’s a muscle, body-building type of guy. You’ve seen my dance? [chuckles] Met dit, if he’s able to calculate what he needs to do in the ring – because the ring has a lot of secrets – if he’s able to do things he needs to do, I see late rounds. Maar, like I said before, I think they’re going to have to knock Joshua out because they’re not going to give it to him.”
Prediction for Maart 3:
“People ask me the round and I always see threes. This year is a magical year. It’s the year of the 33. So, I see threes everywhere. I see three rounds or less, maybe shorter than that. It all depends on how I feel when I see him.”

Here is what Charlo and his trainer Ronnie Shields had to say Donderdag from Charlo Boxing and Fitness Club in Houston:
Charlo JERMALL
“It’s going to be a tough fight against Hugo Centeno Jr. If he can stand up to my power, we’re going to fight and it’ll be a brutal war. If he can’t, I’ll take him out in the first round.
“We can’t let Houston down now. My brother and I have made it this far. We can’t stop now. It’s my turn to put on a spectacular performance on March 3. I’m trying to one-up my brother’s previous performance each time I step in there.
“My goal is to show everybody that I’m the best middleweight in the world. I’m going to keep fighting everyone they put in front of me. I’m going to knock them out one-by-one until Canelo or Golovkin have to face me.
“I’ve had the chance to work on some improvements to my game since my last fight. I think having even more patience in the ring is going to help step my game up even higher. I want to be a champion at middleweight more than I did at 154-pounds.
“Hugo Centeno Jr. is another fighter who is in my way. I know he’ll come in prepared, but I’m confident I’m going to walk out of there with the victory.
“This is going to be a big year for me and my brother. We’re going to keep showing everyone why we’re so feared.”
RONNIE SHIELDS, Charlo se afrigter
“Jermall looks great in training camp and we expect him to be at his best come Maart 3. He’s motivated to put on a good show and prove to everyone he’s a force in this division.
“Hugo Centeno is a quality fighter. He’s well-trained and has length, so Jermall knows he has to be prepared. Centeno isn’t going to let him win, Jermall is going to have to go in and impose his will on the man.
“I believe Jermall has the talent and determination to beat any of the top middleweights out there. We’re going to keep working every day so that when the time comes for one of those fights with a Golovkin or Canelo, he’ll be prepared to take advantage of the opportunity.”

NEW YORK – February 5, 2018 – SHOWTIME Sports will present the heavyweight world championship unification between undefeated IBF and WBA World Champion Anthony Joshua and unbeaten WBO World Champion Joseph Parker on Saterdag, Maart 31 live on SHOWTIME from Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wallis.

 

 

 

The British sensation Joshua, who has knocked out all 20 van sy professionele teenstanders, burst onto the global scene with a dramatic knockout of long-reigning heavyweight kingpin Wladimir Klitschko in the universally acclaimed 2017 Stryd van die Jaar. In two fights last year, Joshua drew 168,000 spectators combined to massive stadium events in the U.K. Nou, he faces another significant challenge in Parker, a native of New Zealand with 24 oorwinnings, no losses and 18 uitklophoue. Parker is attempting the third world title defense of his WBO belt.

 

 

 

With the addition of Joshua vs. Parker, all four heavyweight world championship belts will be at stake in the same month on SHOWTIME as undefeated American Deontay Wilder (39-0, 38 Uitklophoue) will defend his WBC title against unbeaten Luis Ortiz (28-0, 24 Uitklophoue) op Saterdag, Maart 3 van Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The four top-rated heavyweights — Wilder, Ortiz, Joshua and Parker — boast a combined record of 111 oorwinnings, zero losses and 100 uitklophoue.

 

 

 

Both heavyweight championships are cornerstones of a remarkable 2018 SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING schedule that now includes 16 undefeated fighters and 13 world titles fights across 11 marquee events through the first six months of the year.

 

 

 

“The heavyweight division is in the midst of a renaissance, and SHOWTIME is delivering all of the pivotal bouts to our subscribers,"Sê Stephen Espinoza, President, Sports and Event Programing, Showtime Networks Inc. “Anthony Joshua is a global superstar, and we’re proud to present his sixth, and perhaps most challenging, world title fight to the U.S. gehoor. Josua vs. Parker will be the 12ste heavyweight world championship match on SHOWTIME since Deontay Wilder won his title in 2015, an undisputed industry-leading offering in boxing’s preeminent division.”

 

 

 

Josua vs. Parker is just the second heavyweight championship unification in history between undefeated world titleholders. The only fighter to emerge victorious from a matchup of unbeaten heavyweight world champions was Mike Tyson in 1987.

 

 

 

The event is promoted by Matchroom Boxing in association with Duco Events. SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING will televise the event live from Principality Stadium where organizers expect a sell-out of 80,000 spectators. The host of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING is Brian Custer. Mauro Ranallo calls the action from ringside along with International Boxing Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein and former two-division world champion Paul Malignaggi. SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSIP BOXING is produced by David Dinkins Jr, and directed by Chuck McKean. The start time for the Maart 31 telecast will be announced.

Maar ek het nog nooit bang vir die Boogeyman en ek het uitgeslaan elke teenstander wat ek in die gesig gestaar. Ek is van plan op die behoud van wat streep gaan. Almal staan ​​in my manier om die onbetwiste swaargewigkampioen het om af te gaan. Dis Luis Ortiz se beurt.”

Al wat ek nou vra, is dat die wenner van hierdie stryd ontvang die respek van die ander man, van die publiek, van die media en die fans wat hulle verdien as die beste swaargewig in die VS”
Charlo (26-0, 20 Uitklophoue) het sy super welterweight titel met 'n dominante uitklophou van Cornelius Bundrage in 2015 en uiteindelik bereik die onderskeid van die hou van 'n wêreldtitel in dieselfde gewig klas (154 pond) as sy tweelingbroer na Jermell het 'n titel in 2016. Na drie keer suksesvol verdedig sy 154-pond titel, Charlo van Richmond, Texas besluit om op te skuif na 160 pond na 'n ander titel te wen in 'n ander gewig klas. In sy debuut by 160-pond die 27-jarige 'n drie gedruk TKO oorwinning oor Jorge Sebastian Heiland by Barclays-sentrum op Julie 29.

Sedert my laaste stryd ek 'n kans op my geduld om te werk en werk op verbeterings aan my spel gehad het. Ek het dieselfde gevoel wat ek gehad het voordat ek my eerste wêreldtitel gewen het. Ek wil 'n kampioen te wees 160 meer as wat ek gedoen het vir die eerste keer by 154. Meer as enigiets wat ek wil net om terug te kry in die ring. Centeno is 'n taai vegter. Hy sal 'n harde toets vir iemand wat nie by my vlak. Ek is niks van hom weg te neem. Maar hy is net nog 'n vegter wat in my pad. Ek voel nie soos ek iets om te bewys aan iemand anders in hierdie stryd het. Ek is al oor bewys dinge om myself nou. In die 160-pond-afdeling wat jy my naam hoor al hoe meer. Dit is meer as wat jy gedoen het toe ek by 154 pond.”
Die 26-jarige Centeno (26-1, 14 Uitklophoue) gevang almal se aandag wanneer hy behaal 'n pragtige uitklophou van Immanuwel Aleem in sy laaste stryd op Augustus. 25. Dit was genoeg om Centeno springplank na middelgewigtitel twis. Centeno van Oxnard, Kalifornië suksesvol herstel van 'n taai TKO verlies aan Maiej Sulecki Junie 18, 2016 met 'n oorwinning oor Ronald Montes voor sy wedstryd teen Aleem.
“Ek is opgewonde vir die geleentheid,” Said Centeno. “Ek dink my laaste uitstappie het 'n baie te doen met hierdie / Dit het gehelp om my in hierdie posisie te plaas. Charlo is 'n groot vegter met 'n baie talent. Ek voel soos ons het 'n soortgelyke gestalte. Dit gaan 'n interessante stryd wees. Ek dink dit gaan afkom om wat die slimmer vegter daardie nag en wat meer is links in die tenk na die einde. Dit is 'n lewensveranderende, -Loopbaan verandering stryd vir my wat kan lei tot groter en beter dinge. Ek kom om te wen.”

BROOKLYN (November. 5, 2017) – Undefeated heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder retained his WBC title in his sixth defense with a dominant first-round knockout of mandatory challenger Gold Cup in die belangrikste gebeurtenis van Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Saterdag night on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, die huis van BROOKLYN boks®.
Wilder (39-0, 38 KO se) knocked Stiverne (25-3-1, 21 Uitklophoue) to the ground three times before referee Arthur Mercante halted the bout at 2:59 van die openingsronde. After Stiverne took Wilder the distance in their January 2015 title bout, Wilder has now knocked out every single opponent that he has faced in his career. Watch Wilder knocking out Stiverne HIER.
“So much frustration, it just seemed like my career, it’s been crazy. So many guys using PED’s”, Said Wilder, the only American heavyweight world champion. “I just want to prove that I am the best. I know I am the best but I want to prove I am the best.”
Wilder first knocked Stiverne to the ground with a devastating one-two combination that caught the Haitian challenger on the nose. Seconds after Stiverne got back to his feet, Wilder landed another clean combination with a big left and an overhand right that sent a stunned Stiverne back to the canvas. The final blow came in the waning moments of the opening round as Wilder landed four clean punches to the face of a wobbly Stiverne.
“You have to give props to Stiverne for getting in the ring,” Said Wilder. “It takes a lot of courage and it takes a lot of pride to step in the ring with someone like me. We do what we have to do in the ring and at least he stepped up. He was a clean fighter.”
After the brutal knockout, an emotional Wilder was asked by SHOWTIME Sports®reporter Jim Gray about a possible fight with unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
“I’ve been waiting on that fight for a long time now,” Said Wilder. “I declare war upon you. Do you accept my challenge? I’ve been waiting for a long time. I know I’m the champion. I know I’m the best. Are you up for the test?
“A king doesn’t chase the peasants. A king takes kings. I want Joshua. If he doesn’t give me the fight we have other plans. The world wants Joshua, the world wants Wilder, I want Joshua. Joshua come and see me baby. No more dodging, no more excuses. Make the date, don’t wait.”
Former welterweight world champion Shawn Porter (28-2-1, 17 Uitklophoue) verslaan Adrian Granados (18-6-2, 11 Uitklophoue) via 'n eenparige besluit (behaal 117-111 by all three judges) in an exciting fight between two all-action competitors that served as the co-featured event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. The victory makes Porter the mandatory title challenger for unified welterweight champion Keith Thurman’s WBC belt.
Dra, who injured his left hand in the sixth round, landed the sharper and more accurate punches throughout the fight, insluitend 40 persent van sy krag stoot. Both fighters came out aggressive in the early rounds and exchanged several powerful blows.
“He gave me a little trouble here and there,” Said Porter. “I hurt my left hand in the sixth round, but I kept using it. I had to use my jab. It took a toll on me and by the 10th round I just couldn’t throw it anymore.
“The strategy was to keep working the jab. I knew he’d come at me periodically. I was prepared and dug deep to get the win.”
Granados, of Cicero, Siek., fought valiantly and withstood multiple barrages from the powerful Porter and countered with several quick combinations of his own. Granados, who landed just 24 persent van sy totale stoot, disagreed with the judges’ scorecard.
“I thought that I was controlling the fight and keeping up with him the whole time,” Granados told Jim Gray. “He was just trying to use his normal tricks. I rocked him multiple times and he never had me in any trouble.
“He’s a brute. I thought the referee [Gary Rosato] did a good job breaking up the fight at the right times. It was rough but I definitely thought I did better than the scorecards said.”
In die opening bout van die beeldsending, unbeaten top contender Sergey Lipinets (13-0, 10 Uitklophoue) earned the vacant IBF Junior Welterweight World Championship with a unanimous decision victory over Japanese veteran Akihiro Kondo (29-7-1, 16 Uitklophoue). The judges scored the fight118-110, 117-111 en 117-111.
The back-and-forth 12-round world championship fight saw Lipinets control the early rounds with a diversified, creative attack targeting Kondo’s body. An accidental clash of heads in the sixth round, which opened up a deep cut on the forehead of Lipinets, altered the momentum of the fight as Kondo gained confidence and was able to land some powerful punches to the head and body of Lipinets. The 28-year old Lipinets, who earned the title in just his 13ste professional fight, was able to regain control in the later rounds to earn the unanimous win.
“I think the scorecards were accurate but it was a good fight,” said Lipinets. “The head-butt really impaired my vision and it led to me walking into some stupid shots.
“I’m happy with my performance. I’m just going to keep getting better from here. I’m ready to take any on challenge thrown my way.”
Kondo, who was fighting for the first time in the United States, proved a worthy opponent on the night. “It was a fair decision,” said Kondo, through a translater. “He hit me with a lot of hard punches and I felt like I needed at least a knockdown in the last round.
“I made up my mind that I wasn’t going to show any pain or fear from his punches. I was determined to keep fighting all night.”
Saterdag se uitsending sal speel op, Sondag, November 5 by 9 voormiddag. ET/PT and Maandag, November 6 by 10 namiddag. EN/PT op Showtime EXTREME en sal beskikbaar wees op Showtime op aanvraag® en Showtime enige tyd®.
