Co-Headlining the event, titled ‘Battles At The Beach’, is Towl’s equally talented Boyle’s XBox Gym mate 19 χρονών Eleanor Coulson, who faces a yet to be announced opponent for the Women’s International Boxing Association (WIBA) Middleweight Youth World Championship.


Coulson was the reigning National Amateur Champion when she made her professional debut in September last year and, like Towl, is unbeaten in the professional ranks and is also on track to be eligible to compete for full World Championship honours before her twentieth birthday.


The stacked support card is headed by a further Championship battle, when Professional Boxing Council (PBC) International Super Flyweight Champion Nicola Hopewell goes toe to toe with Spain based Vanessa Taborda for the World Boxing League (WBL) European Super Flyweight Crown.

Rochester’s Jay Jackson has a tough fight on his hands when he faces Nicaragua’s Jose Aguilar in a four round Super Featherweight contest. Also facing tough South American opposition is Nottingham’s Martin Reffell, who is pitted against Frederick Castro.


Colchester’s Calvin Carruthers makes his fourth pro outing against Nottingham’s Garfield Mushore in a four round Super Featherweight contest.


Ashford, Kent’s Jack Way makes his pro debut against fellow debutant Tyler Smith σε ένα γύρο τέσσερα ελαφρύ βαρέων βαρών διαγωνισμό, similarly pro debutants Connor Brazil και Callan Harley will face each other in a four round Welterweight contest.

“This is the time I’ve been waiting for; this is the moment and my time to finally shine against an incredible opponent and thinks he can put up a good fight and win against me. Αυτή είναι μια τεράστια ευκαιρία για μένα, this is time to show everything I’m made of.

“Like Jorge said, this is a whole new level but I’m ready for it. It’ll be a very dominant performance; I think the world will be surprised at what kind of performance it is. I think even Jorge will be surprised at what type of fighter I am.”

Bill Haney – trainer and father of Devin Haney

“As you know, we’ve always talked about getting Devin in that right fight that will catapult his career, we believe Jorge Linares is that guy. We’re thankful to Linares for stepping up and giving Devin that opportunity to once and for all show that he’s an elite fighter.

“We have appreciation for Matchroom and how long you’ve been patient. We’ve both tried to get those names in the ring, finally now on Saturday we have that name in Jorge Linares. We hope that he comes and brings his all, we hope to have a healthy and very competitive Jorge Linares so Devin actually can show he’s an elite fighter.

“These are the kind of fights that bring out the best in a fighter. A young fighter like Devin with so much in his toolbox, arsenal full of different kinds of punches. It’s just a great opportunity, we want Jorge to come at his best and bring out those things so we can showcase to the people what a wonderful talent he is.

“You’ll see Devin make a statement, he’s ready for this moment. It’s a euphoric moment, now we get a chance to be on the big stage, our home away from home in Vegas, we look forward to Saturday night, it’s going to be amazing.”

Jorge Linares (47-5 29 KOs) – challenges Devin Haney for the WBC World Lightweight title

“I’m very excited to be here in Vegas again, I’m next to the lightweight world champion Devin Haney, so this is a big opportunity of my life. I had a great training camp in Japan for a long time with my brother but now I’m here. I’m very excited for Saturday night.

“I feel much better than before, against Kevin Mitchell, Anthony Crolla, Vasiliy Lomachenko, I think this is the best and more important training camp – a big opportunity in my life. I’m here a couple more days.

“I’ve fought a lot of big fights, 52 αγώνες, στην Αγγλία, ΗΠΑ, ΛΑΤΙΝΙΚΗ ΑΜΕΡΙΚΗ, this time I’ve come back to Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay. It’s in amazing fight against an amazing young champion, it’s so exciting to show everyone who I am, how much experience I have and how good I feel.

“I respect Haney’s comments, thinking about after this fight, talking about Lopez and everyone in the lightweight division. Me too, I’m thinking about being a champion again and then fighting with the best in the division. There’s a lot of good opponents and champions, I need to be ready for that again.”

Chantelle Cameron (13-0 7 KOs) – defends her WBC World Super-Lightweight title against Melissa Hernandez

“I’m delighted to be here, and I can’t wait to get in there Saturday and put on a show. I’m a natural fighter, Θα κάνω ό, τι κάνω, I don’t talk much I just let my hands do the talking.

“I’m always spiteful but now it’s added a bit more spice into it. I can’t wait to get in there now and get down to the action.

“I’m not going to look past Melissa, she’s a former world champion and has got a lot of experience but I’m the better fighter. Things for me are going to go forward and I’ve got a long journey ahead of me – I’m not stopping here.”

Melissa Hernandez (23-7-3 7 KOs) – challenges Chantelle Cameron for the WBC World Super-Lightweight title

“Saturday, expect fireworks. Women’s boxing is back to stay, I was one of the pioneers and I’m here to prove that I still have it and pay homage to all the women that came before me.

“We busted out asses for so long to finally be on these huge cards and to be getting paid more than we used to. When I was fighting, our purses weren’t even enough to pay our rent, now we have women building empires off it – it’s amazing to be here.

“To clear things up about the banter that went on between us, it was taken out of context by somebody chasing clout. I heard what I heard, at the end of the day, the fight is happening. I’m happy I had that extra time to train because she’s a badass, I’m here to prove that I’m a little bit more of a badass.”

Τζέισον Κουίγκλι (18-1 14 KOs) – defends WBO NABO Middleweight title against Shane Mosley Jr.

“This is a massive opportunity, big stage, capital of professional boxing here in Las Vegas. It’s a great platform for us to get on the stage, showcase our skills and give our absolute best come fight night.

“Once that bells rings there’s always going to be fireworks., especially with a great fight like this on the line. We both know what this fight means to us, we both know where this fight can put us in our careers. You can definitely expect fireworks come fight night.”

“I’m grateful to be a part of this, it’s a great card and I’m grateful to be here and have this opportunity. This is everything I’ve wanted; this is my opportunity. I’m going to take advantage of that and do my best.

“I’m in this sport because I want to be known as my own man, I want to be known as Shane Mosley Jr. That’s why I’m here and that’s what I’m going to do.

“That’s why they come to watch the fights, we put on good shows. Golden Boy, Matchroom, both put on great shows and that’s what we’re expected to do.”

Robert Diaz – VP/Matchmaker, Golden Boy Promotions

“I want to wish both fighters good luck, I know once the bell rings you guys are concentrated on one thing only. This fight means so much to both Jason and Shane, it’s such an important fight, it’s a very even fight and a fight nobody wants to miss. They both know what a win on Saturday night is going to do for their career.

“I know both fighters very well, I’ve known Shane since he was a boy working with his father. I’ve known Jason since his pro debut working his whole career with Golden Boy – I’ve become very attached to both. They’re both very similar outside the ring, they’re gentlemen. There hasn’t been once bad thing said between them, but once that bell rings they’re not friends. Πίστεψέ με, they’re both coming to knock each other out. May the best man win.”

Martin J. Πτέρυγα (24-1-2 11 KOs) – faces Azinga Fuzile in a final eliminator for the IBF World Super-Featherweight title

“This is my time now to shine. Λας Βέγκας, the bright lights and big city, that’s what I’m here for. To deal with this guy here, είναι όλες οι επιχειρήσεις, I’m fighting on Saturday night for me. I’m going to deal with him in good fashion and show the US public who I am. Azinga Fuzile knows who I am, he’ll definitely know my name Saturday.

“Azinga is a good fighter, it’s going to make for good fight but I’m 100% confident I’m going to do a job on this guy. He’s a good, slick fighter but I’ve definitely got all the tools in my arsenal to deal with him in good fashion on Saturday night.

“I’ve put it all in at camp, I’ve done all that I’ve needed to do, it’s all on Saturday night now. The talking means nothing, I’ve prepared, I’m mentally and physically there, I’m ready to put on a good show on Saturday night and excite the fans.”

Azinga Fuzile (14-1 8 KOs) – faces Martin J. Ward in a final eliminator for the IBF World Super-Featherweight title

“I’m ready for the fight, I’ve been preparing for three months for the fight. Είμαι έτοιμος, I can’t wait for Saturday to beat Martin. Σας υπόσχομαι, Martin, Πάω να κερδίσει. I signed the contract to fight and that’s what I’m going to do on fight night.

“I’m too good for Martin. I’ve seen his videos, watched him fight, then I said I can fight him in a way that I can beat him easily. Πρώτα, I didn’t know about him, when I was checking the ratings looking at the guys on top. I found out who he was when they said I must fight Martin Ward. He will know me better, who Azinga is and what he’s capable of.

“I won’t say how I’m going to beat him; you’re all going to see it on Saturday. My fight with Rakhimov, what happened, συνέβη, I had to move on. Now I’m facing this guy, I need to take him out of my way. I’m ready to show the people of Las Vegas beautiful boxing.”

Khalil Coe – makes professional debut

“I’m looking forward to the journey with Matchroom, I already put on a show and I’m grateful to be on this card for my pro debut. The talent that’s going behind me, I want to stand out just as well as they do.

“This is what I’ve been waiting on my whole career, I never thought I would be signed with Matchroom so that’s a big plus. I’m going take advantage and do what I’ve got to do and put it on for the fans.

“There’s going to be a big difference. Some people just think I only have a right hand, I’m only a puncher, but I have footwork, elusiveness, and power. You never know what I’m going to bring to the fight.”

Reshat Μάτι (9-0 7 KOs) – fights Ryan Pino in his tenth pro fight.

“I’m looking to be active as much as possible. I’m looking for big fights, to get my name out there, you told me to go down to 140lbs, we ventured slowly, worked our way down and make a big impact.

“I’ve learned just to stay calm. In the amateurs it’s three rounds, it’s quick. The main thing is to stay loose, listen to your coaches and stay active as much as possible. It’s better to stay active because the times you have off tests you to how you come back to those adversities. First I’ve got to deal with this guy Saturday and then work our way to the next fight.”

Ramla Ali (2-0) – faces Mikayla Nebel in her third pro fight

“I can’t believe I’ve been given the opportunity to fight in the boxing capital of the world, Vegas, so early on in my career. I can only feel grateful, humbled, and honored to be part of such an amazing card. I love Jorge Linares, I grew up watching him, I think he’s amazing and him versus Haney is going to be electric.

“I think there was a little twitter war going on this morning, someone took what I said out of context. What I meant was you’ve got these amazing fighters in the world, Lomachenko, Ασπίδες, Κάτι Τέιλορ, who have done so much in the amateurs, won everything there is to possibly win, if they wanted to fight for a World title in their first fight, they’d be deserved of it. I want to feel deserved of a World title and to feel like a World champion when I feel ready. I don’t want to be pushed into it when I don’t feel ready.

“I’m really excited for when those opportunities will arise, I never shy away from a challenge and if fighting those girls means that it’s the next step to a world title then so be it.”

DEVIN HANEY TRAINING CAMP QUOTES AND PHOTOS: “I have a goal to be the first billionaire boxer”

WBC Lightweight Champion Haney Battles Former Two-Time World Champion Yuriorkis Gamboa on Saturday, Νοέμβριος 7 Live on DAZN from Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in an Event Presented by Matchroom USA and Devin Haney Promotions

LAS VEGAS, NV (Οκτώβριος 30, 2020) – Undefeated WBC lightweight world champion Ντέβιν “Το όνειρο” Χάνι (24-0, 15 KOs), will return to the ring on November 7, 2020, against former 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist and two-time world champion Yuriorkis Gamboa (30-3, 18 KOs).


Haney vs. Gamboa is a 12-round world title fight taking place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, Νεβάδα, and will be the main event on a highly anticipated Matchroom USA card in association with Προσφορές Devin Haney, broadcast on DAZN.


Here is what Devin Haney, the WBC Lightweight Champion, had to say ahead of his fight with Gamboa as he wraps up his final day of training camp in Las Vegas.


On his recent training camp in Las Vegas.


“I stay in the gym, I basically live in the gym, so once camp begins, I put my all into training. I do not want to be outworked, and I am driven by those around me. I am extremely focused right now. I’m going to be the face of boxing.”


On returning after his shoulder injury.


“No athlete wants to ever be injured. I took the time I needed to, listened to the doctors, and let my body rest. One good thing from the social distancing and stay-at-home orders was it occurred during the time I was recovering so I was able to be fully rested once the gyms reopened. I am now 100% and better than ever, you will see on fight night.”


On his matchup with Yuriorkis Gamboa.


“Gamboa has done a lot in the sport, and the fact that he gave a lot of fighters tough fights, says a lot about him. I want to prove a point in this bout that a lot of people are not mentioning my name amongst the best in the world, and I am looking to change that by putting forth a performance against Gamboa that no one has ever seen before. I respect Gamboa as a fighter, but in the ring, I will have no respect for him at all. In the ring he is my enemy.


On what a spectacular win means for your career.


“Obviously, a win gives me my 2nd world title defense which is very important to me. Title defenses shows a lot about what kind of fighter you really are. I don’t care how you won it or who you won it from…can you defend the world title against all challengers? That’s what I represent as a throwback champion. You can have a strategy to get there but when you become a champion you become a target. Tank Davis, Teofimo Lopez and Ryan Garcia are all great potential opponents for me. I’d rather fight sooner than later but they have to feel the same way about me. I have a goal to be the first billionaire boxer, and to do that I have to put forth billion-dollar performances. That’s exactly what I’m going to do on November 7th in Miami.”

WBC Lightweight champion defends on Nov. 7 – Super-Middleweight grudge match on Nov. 27

Devin Haney will defend his WBC World Lightweight title against Yuriorkis Gamboa on Saturday, Νοέμβριος. 7 and Daniel Jacobs will clash with Gabriel Rosado on Friday, Νοέμβριος. 27, both behind closed doors and subject to strict COVID-19 protocols at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, Φλόριντα, live on DAZN.

To subscribe to DAZN, visit www.DAZN.com.

Χάνι (24-0, 15 KOs) is back in action for the first time since November 2019 after injuring his right shoulder in seeing off Alfredo Santiago in the first defense of his belt in LA. The 21-year-old sensation had successful surgery on the injury and is now ready to resume his quest to dominate a 135-lbs. scene that’s littered with big names.

First on his hit list is Gamboa (30-3, 18 KOs), the former unified World Featherweight king and Cuban hero, following his Olympic gold medal. Gamboa is aiming to become a two-weight World ruler at the third attempt having challenged Terence Crawford and Gervonta Davis for their titles, but Haney is confident he will reignite his reign in style.

“Yuriokis Gamboa is a dangerous and experienced fighter,” said Haney. “He’s a former unified world champion, and he has been in the ring with some of the best. He hurt Terence Crawford with a big shot, so his power is not to be ignored. He beat Orlando Salido who beat Vasiliy Lomachenko. Less than a year ago he took Gervonta Davis into the 12th round, something no one has ever been able to do. Gamboa is a true warrior and I’m not taking him lightly. I’ve called out all the top names, and I finally got someone who will challenge me for my title. I intend on making a statement in this fight. My hunger is on another level. It’s time to show the world who the best fighter in boxing is and that’s me!"

“I’m extremely thankful to God for allowing this fight to happen and for the miracle of healing my Achilles,», είπε ο Γκαμπόα. “I’ve been dreaming and wishing of fighting for the WBC Green Belt ever since I was an amateur in Cuba. I’m ready and determined to win this title for my fans and to prove those who wrote me off as a washed up fighter wrong. I came up short against Davis because of my Achilles in the second round, but I fought the rest of the fight on one foot, hurting him in the middle rounds. You are going to see a healthy Gamboa fight with both of my legs, fists and warrior heart of mine. With God’s blessings I will come out victorious Nov. 7."

Jacobs and Rosado have built up a rivalry over the last year and now that comes to a head three weeks after Haney vs. Gamboa.

Jacobs (36-3, 30 KOs) made the first steps on his target of becoming a two-weight World champion with victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in Phoenix, Arizona in December. That was the “Miracle Man’s” first foray into the 168-lbs. scene after the two-time World Middleweight king moved up from 160 lbs. after his unification clash with Canelo Alvarez in Las Vegas in May 2019.

Ροζ (25-12-1, 14 KOs) appeared on the undercard in Phoenix and clashed with Jacobs ahead of the weigh-in. The Philly ace recorded a ten round points win that night to return to winning ways following his thrilling back-and-forth battle with Maciej Sulecki on home turf in March 2019, and the 34-year-old will be out to fire himself into contention for the World title clash that Jacobs seeks.

“Gabe talked his way into this fight and now it’s time to see if he can back it up,” said Jacobs. “He’s got a big mouth and he’s been bringing up my name constantly for over a year – but on Nov. 27 the talking stops and I can’t wait to shut him up. My aim is to become a two-weight division World champion in 2021 and that starts with a big win in Florida. Μετά από αυτό, I’m ready to step up and fight one of the World champions at 168 λίρες. "

“I’m really excited for the fight,” said Rosado. “There’s been a lot of back and forth between me and Jacobs, and for the fight to finally happen, I’m more than ready. I’ve started training camp with Freddie Roach in LA at Wild Card Boxing, and I’m just looking to put on one hell of a show for the fans. I’m definitely going to bring the fight to Danny and it’s going to be great.”

Both events have stacked undercards in support of the main event. There’s a Heavyweight flavor to the Haney card with Croatian talent Filip Hrgovic (11-0, 9 KOs) facing American Rydell Booker (26-3, 13 KOs) and Chinese star Zhilei Zhang (21-0, 18 KOs) meeting another American in Devin Vargas (22-6, 9 KOs). Three young stars continue their pro journeys on the bill as Reshat Mati (7-0, 5 KOs), Raymond Ford (6-0, 2 KOs) and Arthur Biyarslanov (6-0, 5 KOs) are in action on the show – and Matchroom are delighted to announce the signing of French star Souleymane Cissokho (11-0 7 KOs) to a multi-fight deal and he’ll box on the bill, and more details on the deal for the Anthony Joshua managed Super-Welterweight will come on Monday.

Marc Castro will make his pro debut on the undercard of Jacobs vs. Ροζ. The Fresno talent was slated to make his bow in the paid ranks in Tulsa, Oklahoma in August, but he tested positive for COVID-19. Now the amateur sensation finally laces them up and is joined on the undercard by fellow amateur rulers in Olympic gold medalist Daniyar Yeleussinov (9-0, 5 KOs), three-time World amateur champion Magomedrasul Majidov (2-0, 2 KOs), and young talents Nikita Ababiy (9-0, 6 KOs) και ο Alexis Espino (6-0, 4 KOs).

“I can’t wait for our U.S. return in Florida – two stacked cards with plenty riding on them,"Δήλωσε ο υποστηρικτής Έντι Χερν. “The Lightweight division is on fire and there’s no better time for Devin to return to action and make a big statement at the Hard Rock. Although Devin may well be the next big thing, when you look at his CV, Yuriorkis is by far his toughest test to date. A few weeks later, the bad blood between Daniel and Gabe will come to a head as they clash, and the winner of that fight will find themselves in a great position for a World title shot at 168 lbs. in 2021.”

“There’s so many interesting plotlines on both undercards. The Heavyweights are in the spotlight on Nov. 7, with Filip and Zhilei, two World-class fighters that are looking to stake their claims for massive fights next year, as will Magomedrasul who fights on Nov. 27."

“Marc was devastated that his debut was postponed but the Fresno sensation has re-focused and it’s not a bad thing to have to learn to cope with a setback like that – he’s been working so hard in training, and I think we’re going to see a spectacular debut.”

“We’re lining up a big test for Daniyar, and so many of the young stars on the cards are beginning to get to the stages in their career where they move to the next level so I am expecting two exciting nights of action in the Sunshine State.”

Hard Rock Live and Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood in Florida have a rich history of hosting world-class boxing in addition to globally recognized entertainment acts like Jerry Seinfeld, Alicia Keys and Aerosmith. The venue is excited to play host to two huge nights of action in November.

“Ο Άλφρεντο Σαντιάγο είναι ένας πεινασμένος νεαρός μαχητής και αυτή είναι μια χρυσή ευκαιρία για να σταματήσει
Η χρέωση του Ντέβιν για το σούπερ σταρ – αλλά πιστεύω ότι «το όνειρο’ θα λάμψει και θα είναι η βασιλεία του ως παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής με στυλ.”

Η σύγκρουση του Χανέι με το Σαντιάγο είναι μέρος μιας τεράστιας νύχτας δράσης στο Λος Άντζελες καθώς οι αισθήσεις του YouTube KSI και ο Λόγκαν Παύλος συγκρούστηκαν σε ένα επαναληπτικό της αμφιλεγόμενης ισοπαλίας τους – αυτή τη φορά ως επαγγελματίες μαχητές.

Μπίλι Τζο Σόντερς (28-0 13 KOs) κάνει το αμερικανικό ντεμπούτο του και υπερασπίζεται τον παγκόσμιο τίτλο WBO World Super-Middleweight ενάντια στον αήττητο Αργεντινό Marcelo Coceres (28-0-1 15 KOs), και ενώνεται στην κάρτα από ένα κουαρτέτο των ταλαντούχων ανερχόμενων αμερικανικών αστεριών του Eddie Hearn στη Nikita Ababiy (7-0 6 KOs), Ντιέγκο Πατσέκο (6-0 5 KOs), Reshat Μάτι (4-0 ) και ο Alexis Espino (4-0 3 KOs).

DEVIN “THE DREAM” HANEY HAS VISIONS OF BRINGING BOXING BACK TO ITS GLORY DAYS

LAS VEGAS, NV (Οκτώβριος 10, 2019) – Undefeated WBC interim champion, Ντέβιν “Το όνειρο” Χάνι (23-0, 15 KOs), is calling out all promoters to join him and his co-promoter, Έντι Χερν του Matchroom εγκιβωτίζει, in their quest to bring boxing back to its glory days, where the best always fought the best.



After his stunning victory over Ζάουρ Αμπντουλάεφ (11-1, 7 KOs), where he fractured his orbital bone with a crushing overhand right, Haney became the mandatory challenger to fight pound for pound king Βασίλ Lomachenko (14-1, 10 KOs), who holds the WBC lightweight title. Haney feels it’s important for boxing to flourish, if all elite fighters in their respective divisions fight one another.



“A lot of writers are saying I’m not ready to face Lomachenko, that’s ridiculous,” said the twenty-year old phenom Haney. “All the guys he beat, I would beat also. Let’s not forget Lomachenko lost to a man who has fourteen loses, so to say I’m not on his level is crazy talk. Loma fought for a world title in his second professional fight. Ήταν 1-0, Είμαι 23-0. Who wouldn’t want to watch me and Loma fight? The answer is everyone would want to watch that fight and that’s a fact. I hate to say it, but it must be said, It’s embarrassing for Lomachenko if he keeps ducking this twenty year old, but in reality, there is no one that I can’t beat at 135 λίρες!”



“Every promoter in boxing should put aside their egos and make the big fights,” continued Haney. “I know the fans will appreciate the best fighting the best and they deserve to see these big fights. Αμέσως, boxing is so fragmented. I’m a fan of the sport and it would be a travesty if some of these big fights don’t get made. Arum said I signed with the wrong company, but he’s not making the big fights the people want to see. He’s serving the interest of his company and I knew that mentality could hold me back from becoming one of the greats in this sport, hence me signing with Matchroom. There are many more sensational matchups that are long overdue. It’s good business, and boxing will thrive, if the best are fighting the best.”



While networks and sanctioning bodies play key factors in making big fights, things can always get complicated. Haney feels confident that the sport will grow immensely, if his vision comes to fruition.



“Everyone would benefit if the big fights are made,” concluded Haney, who is the CEO of his own promotional company, Προσφορές Devin Haney. “I became a promoter early in my career because I want to bring the sport of boxing together. A formula needs to be made where all parties can be compensated, and the fans get to see great fights. Eddie Hearn and Matchroom boxing whom I co-promote with, put their fighters in tough, but they get them really paid. Now that’s something you can respect. Boxing needs to unite, and the mega fights should be made immediately.”

DEVIN HANEY VS. ZAUR ABDULLAEV ΣΕΠΤΕΜΒΡΙΟΣ 13 ΣΤΟ ΘΕΑΤΡΟ HULU στη Νέα Υόρκη

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο
Αύγουστος 6, 2019 – Ο Devin Haney μπορεί να κάνει ένα τεράστιο άλμα προς τη δόξα του παγκόσμιου τίτλου, όταν αντιμετωπίζει τον αήττητο αστέρι Zaur Abdullaev σε έναν τελικό αποκλεισμό για τον WBC World Lightweight τίτλο την Παρασκευή Σεπτεμβρίου 13 στο θέατρο Hulu στο Madison Square Garden, New York, ζωντανά στο DAZN στις ΗΠΑ και στο Sky Sports στο Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο.

Χάνι (22-0 14 KOs) έκανε ένα εντυπωσιακό ντεμπούτο με Matchroom Boxing USA και DAZN τον Μάιο, καταστρέφοντας τον Antonio Moran με τον KO της χρονιάς υποψήφιος στον έβδομο γύρο της σύγκρουσης στο Μέριλαντ. Ο 20 Χρονών παλεύει στο Big Apple για πρώτη φορά στην καριέρα του και το φυσικό του Λας Βέγκας, κατετάγη #2 με το WBC, χτυπά το Μανχάταν για τον μεγαλύτερο αγώνα του, αλλά σε συνδυασμό με τις προσφορές DHP και τον Titov Boxing.

Αμπντουλάιφ (11-0 7 KOs) κατατάσσεται #3 με το WBC να έχει προσγειωθεί το Silver Lightweight ιμάντα μόλις στην ένατη εκδρομή του τον Απρίλιο 2018, και ο υψηλόβαθμος και επικίνδυνος Ρώσος κατέγραψε το δικό του 11ου pro win και έβδομη εντός της απόστασης τον Φεβρουάριο, σταματώντας τον Humberto Martinez στο Εκατερίνμπουργκ, και τώρα παλεύει έξω από την πατρίδα του για πρώτη φορά στην καριέρα του.

Το στέμμα του WBC θα είναι στα χέρια του Βασιλι Λωμάμενκο ή του Λουμπ Κάμπελ MBE όταν η σύγκρουση στο The O2 στο Λονδίνο τον Αύγουστο 31, με τον Haney και τον Abdullaev να παρατηρούν έντονα ότι οι συγκρούσεις από τα προπονητικά τους στρατόπεδα γίνονται κλειδαριές τον Σεπτέμβριο 13.

“Πάντα νιώθω καλά όταν έχω την επίσημη ημερομηνία,” είπε ο Χάνι. “Μένω στο γυμναστήριο γιατί είμαι σκύλος και μου αρέσει να παλεύω. Θέλω ο κόσμος να με δει να ανεβαίνω στον ανταγωνισμό μου. Όσο καλύτερα είναι τόσο καλύτερα είμαι. Παλεύω έναν αήττητο μαχητή στο θέατρο Hulu στο Madison Square Garden.

“Οι οπαδοί της Νέας Υόρκης είναι μερικοί από τους πιο πιστούς οπαδούς στον αθλητισμό και ανυπομονώ να βάλω πραγματικά μια παράσταση για αυτούς. Ο Abdullaev αρέσει να ασκεί πίεση και δεν περιμένω τίποτα λιγότερο τον Σεπτέμβριο 13. Τον έχω δει να πολεμά και είναι πεινασμένος μαχητής, δεν υπάρχει αμφιβολία ότι είναι ο σκληρότερος αντίπαλός μου μέχρι σήμερα. Αυτός ο αγώνας απέχει ένα βήμα μακριά από έναν αγώνα παγκόσμιου τίτλου, οπότε και οι δύο έχουμε πολλά στη γραμμή.

“Ο Abdullaev δεν έχει μεγάλο όνομα, αλλά κατατάσσεται #3 για κάποιο λόγο, και δεν τον πατάω ούτε κάποιον άλλον που με εμποδίζει. Είμαι ευλογημένος που έχω τεράστια υποστήριξη από τους DAZN και Eddie Hearn. Με αυτήν τη συνεργασία έχω την ευκαιρία να πολεμήσω τα καλύτερα στον κόσμο. Ενθαρρύνω όλους στη Νέα Υόρκη να αγοράσουν τα εισιτήριά τους ή να αποκτήσουν την εφαρμογή DAZN και να παρακολουθήσουν την ανάπτυξή μου στον επόμενο σούπερ σταρ στην πυγμαχία. Αυτός ο αγώνας θα ανάψει!”

“Χαίρομαι που συμβαίνει ο αγώνας,” είπε ο Abdullaev. “Ήμουν πανικοβλημένος όταν είδα κάποιες δημοσιεύσεις από τον Haney στα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης που κανείς δεν θέλει να τον πολεμήσει στα 135 κιλά, και ίσως χρειαστεί να ανέβει στο βάρος. Συνέχισα να δαγκώνω τα νύχια μου και πραγματικά ήθελα να ασχοληθώ, αλλά μου είπαν να μείνω υπομονετικός. Ο Αλλάχ ο ευγενικός έχει παραδώσει αυτόν τον αγώνα και τώρα η πραγματικότητά του.

“Είμαι λίγο απογοητευμένος που ο αγώνας δεν θα γίνει στην αυλή του Λας Βέγκας του Χανέι, καθώς θα ήταν υπέροχο να τον εκθρονίσει μπροστά από το κοράκι του σπιτιού του, αλλά η Νέα Υόρκη είναι μια μεγάλη πόλη του μποξ. Δεν είμαι ανόητος και καταλαβαίνω ότι έρχομαι ως αουτσάιντερ αλλά τον Σεπτέμβριο 13, Έρχομαι να σπάσω τη διαφημιστική εκστρατεία με όλες τις πιθανότητες.”

Ο πρωταθλητής WBA και IBF World Super-Bantamweight, Daniel Roman, οδηγεί μια στοιβαγμένη κάρτα κάτω από έναν στοματικό αγώνα επικεφαλής-υποστήριξης καθώς παίρνει τον θανατηφόρο WBA υποχρεωτικό αντίπαλο Murodjon Akhmadaliev. Ρωμαϊκός (27-2-1 10 KOs) ενοποίησε το στέμμα του WBA με το λουρί IBF του Ιρλανδού TJ Doheny σε έναν αγώνα της χρονιάς υποψήφιος στο σπίτι στο Λος Άντζελες τον Απρίλιο, μια πέμπτη νίκη στον παγκόσμιο τίτλο στην αναπήδηση ένα τέταρτο εσωτερικό 14 μήνες για το 29 χρονών.

Η πέμπτη υπεράσπιση του Ρωμαίου για το στέμμα του στο WBA τον βάζει σε βάρος του επικίνδυνου ταλέντου του Ουζμπεκιστάν Ακμαντάλιεφ (6-0 5 KOs) – ο ιδιαίτερα διακοσμημένος ερασιτέχνης έμοιαζε φοβισμένος στο τέλος των πέντε από τις έξι εξόδους του μέχρι σήμερα, με την 25 Η τελευταία νίκη ενός έτους έρχεται με το ίδιο νομοσχέδιο στο Λος Άντζελες με τον Ρόμαν με τον Ντόενι. Μυθιστόρημα εναντίον. Ο Akhmadaliev σας φέρνει σε συνεργασία με τον Thompson Boxing και τον κόσμο του εγκιβωτισμού.

“Όποιος με ξέρει καταλαβαίνει ότι είμαι πραγματικός μαχητής,” είπε ο Ρωμαίος. “Θα πολεμήσω όποιον έβαλαν μπροστά μου. Ο Akhmadaliev πεινά, αλλά έτσι είμαι εγώ. Δεν ήταν πολύ καιρό πριν [2017] όταν έκανα πρόκληση για τον τίτλο του WBA, έτσι δεν θα το παρατήσουμε. Είμαι εδώ για να πολεμήσω και να υπερασπιστώ τη ζώνη WBA για άλλη μια φορά. Έχω δύο ζώνες [WBA και IBF], αλλά θέλω περισσότερα. Στόχος μου είναι να τα αποκτήσω όλα αυτά, έτσι κι αλλιώς παραβλέπω τον Akhmadaliev. Έχει αυτό το ερασιτεχνικό γενεαλογικό, μπορεί να τρυπήσει με δύναμη και του αρέσει να βγαίνει μπροστά. Το δεύτερο υποτιμάτε κάποιον, τότε συμβαίνουν άσχημα πράγματα. Θα είμαι έτοιμος για ό, τι φέρνει.

“Ως ενοποιημένος πρωταθλητής, Καταλαβαίνω ότι έχω έναν στόχο στην πλάτη μου. Γι 'αυτό ήμουν στο γυμναστήριο, να μένω απότομη όπως πάντα. Δεν υπάρχει χρόνος για χαλάρωση και να κοιτάξω πίσω τι έχω κάνει επειδή η δουλειά μου δεν έχει τελειώσει.”

“Ο Ντάνι είναι από τους πιο αφοσιωμένους και πειθαρχημένους παγκόσμιους πρωταθλητές εκεί έξω,” είπε ο Ken Thompson, Πρόεδρος της Thompson Boxing Promotions. “Απολαμβάνει προκλήσεις και σε αυτό το σημείο στην καριέρα του, θέλει μόνο τους πιο δύσκολους και μεγαλύτερους αγώνες. Ο Akhmadaliev είναι νέος και επικίνδυνος αντίπαλος, αλλά ο Ντάνι έχει όλα τα εργαλεία για να συνεχίσει τη βασιλεία του ως το καλύτερο ταλέντο στο τμήμα. Είμαστε πεπεισμένοι ότι θα προσφέρει άλλη μια εξαιρετική απόδοση και θα διατηρήσει τον τίτλο του WBA για πέμπτη φορά.”

“Είμαι πολύ χαρούμενος που ο Daniel Roman πήρε αυτόν τον αγώνα,” είπε ο Akhmadaliev. “Ξέρω ότι είμαστε και οι δύο πολεμιστές και αυτό θα είναι ένας πραγματικός πόλεμος! Μην χάσετε αυτή τη μάχη!”

“Περιμένουμε αυτόν τον αγώνα για αρκετό καιρό,” είπε ο Βαντίμ Κορνίλοφ από το World of Boxing. “Πιστεύω με τη θέληση, χαρακτήρας, και δύναμη και των δύο αυτών τύπων, αυτός ο αγώνας θα είναι ένας αγώνας του υποψηφίου της χρονιάς.”

Υπάρχει περισσότερη δράση στον παγκόσμιο τίτλο, καθώς ο παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής επτά βαρών ρεκόρ, Amanda Serrano, αμφισβητεί τον πρωταθλητή του Παγκόσμιου Featherweight του WBO Heather Hardy σε μια υπόθεση στο Μπρούκλιν, σας έφερε η DiBella Entertainment σε συνεργασία με το Matchroom Boxing USA.

Serrano (36-1-1 27 KOs) κατέκτησε την έβδομη τάξη βάρους της στο Hulu Theatre τον τίτλο τον Ιανουάριο όταν ο Πουέρτο Ρίκα κατέστρεψε την Eva Voraberger μέσα στον πρώτο γύρο για να διεκδικήσει τον κενό τίτλο WBO Super-Flyweight.

Ο Serrano κράτησε το λουράκι WBO Featherweight 2016 πριν το εγκαταλείψει, τότε η αδερφή της Cindy το πήρε αργότερα εκείνο το έτος. Σκληραγωγημένος (22-0 4 KOs) ήταν επόμενος στη σειρά για να κερδίσει τον κενό τίτλο τον Οκτώβριο σε έναν επαναληπτικό αγώνα εναντίον της Shelley Vincent στο Θέατρο Hulu. Ο Χάρντι θέτει το μποξ σε αναμονή για να επιστρέψει στο MMA τον Ιούνιο με μια εκδρομή στο Bellator 222 στο Madison Square Garden, αλλά επιστρέφει στην πυγμαχία για να έρχονται αντιμέτωποι με τη συντροφιά της Μπρούκλιν.

“Ανακαλύψαμε τον Φεβρουάριο ότι ως σούπερ πρωταθλητής η Amanda θα μπορούσε να καλέσει οποιονδήποτε πρωταθλητή σε οποιοδήποτε τμήμα βάρους και θα ήταν η επόμενη άμυνα — και με επέλεξε. Δεν έφτασα τόσο μακριά στο παιχνίδι πυγμαχίας για να μην ξέρω πώς λειτουργεί, προωθούν έναν μεγάλο αγώνα μεταξύ της και της Katie Taylor και αυτή είναι η δεύτερη από τη συμφωνία τριών αγώνων της Amanda.

“Θα είναι η πρώτη μου φορά που αγωνίζομαι ως αουτσάιντερ ακόμα και ως σημερινός παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής, αλλά είμαι ενθουσιασμένος ως κόλαση. Όλοι γνωρίζουν ότι έχω τις μπάλες για αυτό. Μεγάλωσα με ένα σκληρό μαμά, Εμπιστέψου με – κανείς δεν με τρομάζει.”

“Είμαι πολύ ενθουσιασμένος που επέστρεψα στο δαχτυλίδι και ενθουσιασμένος που αγωνίζομαι τη Heather Hardy,” Είπε Serrano. “Η Χέδερ είναι 22-0 για κάποιο λόγο, βρίσκει πάντα έναν τρόπο να κερδίσει. We’ve sparred in the past and I’ve never had an easy day with her.

“So many of the other champions vacated their belts to avoid fighting me but Heather is a true world champion who will not give up her belt.

“We know each other well and I’m honored to fight her for her World title. It’s nothing personal, just business for two girls from Brooklyn in the ring.”

“Την Παρασκευή, Σεπτέμβριος 13, seven-division world champion Amanda ‘The Real Deal’ Serrano will attempt to wrest the WBO Featherweight title from undefeated champion Heather ‘The Heat’ Hardy in what promises to be an explosive matchup,” δήλωσε ο Lou DiBella, Πρόεδρος του DiBella ψυχαγωγία. “Neither Hardy nor Serrano have ever been in a bad fight, both Brooklynites have passionate fan bases and are tremendous ambassadors for women’s boxing. Αυτός είναι ένας αγώνας που πρέπει να κερδίσετε και για τους δύο μπόξερ και θα κλέψει την παράσταση.”

Το τοπίο βαρέων βαρών παραμένει καυτό και υπάρχει υπέροχο 50-50 συγκρούστε την κάρτα καθώς ο Michael Hunter προκαλεί τον Sergey Kuzmin για τον τίτλο WBA Intercontinental. Κυνηγός (17-1 12 KOs) κατέχει το διεθνές λουρί με το WBA έχοντας τον KO’d Alexander Ustinov στο Μόντε Κάρλο το Νοέμβριο και το υπερασπίστηκε με ένα δεύτερο γύρο KO του Fabio Maldonado στο Μέριλαντ τον Μάιο. Ο 31 Η χρονιά αυξάνεται ταχύτατα στην κατάταξη και μπορεί να κάνει ένα τεράστιο άλμα προς τη δράση του παγκόσμιου τίτλου με μια νίκη, αλλά αντιμετωπίζει μια κρίσιμη πρόκληση με τη μορφή του Κουζμίν (15-0 11 KOs).

Ο αήττητος Ρώσος βάζει το λουράκι που κέρδισε στο Στάδιο Wembley στο Λονδίνο τον Σεπτέμβριο εναντίον του David Price και έριξε για πρώτη φορά τον LaRon Mitchell και μετά τον Joey Dawejko σε επιτυχημένες άμυνας στο Stateside. Με την κατάταξη του Kuzmin #5 και κυνηγός #8 με το WBA, ο νικητής στη Νέα Υόρκη θα χτυπήσει την πόρτα για έναν τίτλο, αυξάνοντας τα στοιχήματα σε αυτόν τον αγώνα, σε συνεργασία με το World of Boxing.

“Είμαι ενθουσιασμένος που πολεμάω τον Σεργκέι,” είπε ο Χάντερ. “Ξέρω ότι δεν πρόκειται να είναι ένας εύκολος αγώνας, αλλά είμαι σίγουρα έτοιμος για την πρόκληση και θέλω να δείξω στους ανθρώπους ότι είμαι ο καλύτερος στην κατηγορία.”

“Δούλεψα πολύ σκληρά για αυτήν την ευκαιρία,” είπε ο Κουζμίν. “Είμαι εδώ για να κερδίσω αυτόν τον αγώνα και μετά τον Παγκόσμιο τίτλο. Δεν με έχει σημασία αν αυτός ο αγώνας είναι στις ΗΠΑ ή στη Ρωσία, Είμαι πολύ σίγουρος για τη νίκη μου. Γνωρίζω τον αντίπαλό μου πολύ καλά, είναι καλός μπόξερ, αλλά μόνο ένας από εμάς θα κερδίσει.”

“Αυτός είναι ένας αγώνας μεταξύ δύο κορυφαίων δέκα προοπτικών, και οι δύο κατέχουν περιφερειακούς τίτλους,” είπε ο Vadim Kornilov του World of Boxing. “Αυτός ο αγώνας ελπίζουμε να είναι ένας εξολοθρευτής για το Παγκόσμιο πρωτάθλημα υποχρεωτικό.”

“Πρόκειται για μια λαμπρή παράσταση και μια μεγάλη ευκαιρία για τον Ντέβιν να κατακτήσει τη Νέα Υόρκη,” είπε ο υποστηρικτής Eddie Hearn. “Ο Abdullaev είναι ένας επικίνδυνος αήττητος μαχητής, αλλά ο Devin είναι έτοιμος για όλους τους ερχόμενους και θέλει να κερδίσει αυτόν τον αγώνα και μετά να πάει κατευθείαν στο Lomachenko εναντίον. Νικητής Campbell. Είναι τρελό να πιστεύεις ότι είναι δίκαιος 20 ετών – Νομίζω ότι είναι δίκαιο να πούμε ότι είναι ο πιο συναρπαστικός νεαρός μαχητής στον κόσμο αυτή τη στιγμή.

“Μυθιστόρημα εναντίον. Ο Akhmadaliev είναι ένας απόλυτος πόλεμος, Ο Ντάνι αρνήθηκε να εγκαταλείψει τη ζώνη και σαν πραγματικός πρωταθλητής θα αντιμετωπίσει έναν νεαρό άφοβο, σκληρό χτύπημα υποχρεωτικός αμφισβητίας που κάνει ένα τεράστιο άλμα μετά από μόλις έξι αγώνες.

“Η κατηγορία βαρέων βαρών είναι καυτή και ο Hunter v Kuzmin ίσως ένας από τους αγώνες της χρονιάς – μην αναβοσβήνετε σε αυτό! Μάλλον θα μπορούσαμε να γεμίσουμε αυτόν τον χώρο με Serrano vs. Μόνο ο Χάρντι, είναι ένας καταπληκτικός αγώνας για τη Νέα Υόρκη με το νικητή για τον καθοριστικό αγώνα της Katie Taylor στη συνέχεια. Μην χάσετε αυτήν την παράσταση!”

“Είμαστε ενθουσιασμένοι που ξεκινάμε την πολυάσχολη πτώση μας με την επιστροφή της προοπτικής του blue-chip Devin Haney στο DAZN,” είπε ο Joseph Markowski, DAZN EVP, Βόρεια Αμερική. “Το Matchroom έχει συγκεντρώσει μια στοίβα κάρτα για τους οπαδούς της μάχης της Νέας Υόρκης και όσους παρακολουθούν σε όλο τον κόσμο στο DAZN. Ετοιμάζουμε να κλείσουμε τον πρώτο μας χρόνο στην πυγμαχία με ένα χτύπημα και όλα ξεκινούν τον Σεπτέμβριο 13 στο θέατρο Hulu στο Madison Square Garden.”

Μια ανακοίνωση σχετικά με τις τιμές των εισιτηρίων και τις ημερομηνίες πώλησης θα γίνει αργότερα αυτήν την εβδομάδα.

SHREVEPORT – January 12, 2019 – Devin Haney passed the biggest test of his young career Friday night onShoBox: Η νέα γενιά, kicking off the 2019 boxing year with a dazzling performance and unanimous decision victory over fellow undefeated former South African champion Xolisani Ndongeni live on SHOWTIME from StageWorks of Louisiana.

Χάνι (21-0, 13 KOs) scored a second-round knockdown and wore Ndongeni (25-1, 13 KOs) down with punishing body shots in the latter part of the fight in winning easily on all three judges’ scorecards, 100-89 δυο φορές, and 99-90.See the second-round knockdownΕΔΩ.

Haney told SHOWTIME’s Steve Farhood in the ring after the fight he only wants to be considered a contender from here on out. “I want those top guys,"Είπε. “Now they really can’t deny me. I’ve been saying this for a long time but now, I’m a contender.”See the post-fight interviewΕΔΩ. 

The knockdown came at 1:30 of the second round as a Haney right hand landed flush knocking the unbalanced Ndongeni to the canvas. But it was Haney’s body shots that wore out the stubborn Ndongeni, who was fighting in the United States for just the second time. Haney badly wanted to end the fight with a knockout, even telling his father Bill Haney between rounds, “I’m going to knock him out!"

“He’s a great fighter,” said Haney, who with the victory takes home the WBO Intercontinental and WBC International belts. “You don’t make it to 25-0 without being anybody. I knew it was going to be tough opponent from the very beginning. He’s a really good fighter and I didn’t choose him. That was the opponent that came up and you know me, I don’t turn down anybody. I fight whoever comes in front of me.”

Farhood said 2019 could be the year Haney fights for a world title. “I’m impressed because he showed a side of himself that we hadn’t seen before,” the International Boxing Hall of Famer Farhood said. “For a young fighter, although he’s very skilled, you want to see him handle all kinds of situations. He went to the body effectively and if the fight goes 30 seconds longer he gets the stoppage. Is a world title fight in 2019 a possibility? Σίγουρα. Just because he’s 20 doesn’t mean he’s not good enough. It’s clear there’s no one that’s going to out-box him.”

Farhood finally gave Ndongeni a round for the first time in the seventh as he used some effective body work to control the round, although never visibly hurting Haney or putting him in too much danger.

As the fight went deeper and deeper, Haney just kept getting stronger. In the final two rounds, he led 69-28 on overall landed punches (16-6 τρυπήματα και 53-22 ισχύς). In the final minute of the final round, Haney out-landed Ndongeni 23-3 in total connects.

“I’m getting stronger with each fight and I feel my man strength emerging,” Haney said. “Ndongeni is a very durable fighter. I attribute his big heart for keeping him in the fight. I knew I was the superior fighter. I showed everyone I can fight coming forward, Μπορώ κουτί, I can bang, I do it all. Είμαι έτοιμος…no one is stopping me.”

In a battle of undefeated Rubens, former decorated amateur Ruben Villa (15-0, 5 KOs) handed Colombian Ruben Cervera (10-1, 9 KOs) his first career defeat scoring a dominating unanimous decision, 80-72 on all three scorecards in the eight-round featherweight co-feature bout.See fight highlightsΕΔΩ.

The 21-year-old two-time Junior Olympic National Champion and the 2014 και 2015 National Golden Gloves Champion from Salinas, Καλιφόρνια., Villa outworked and outperformed the slower but determined Cervera en route to a decisive decision victory.

“It felt good fighting on the big stage and I got the victory against a very tough undefeated fighter,” the one-time Olympic alternate Villa said. “I felt I controlled the entire fight with my superior boxing skills. I’m ready to step up to the next level. I’m taking on all comers no matter who they are, I feel I’m the best featherweight in the world.”

In the sixth round, Villa got to work featuring a strong right hand and following up with jabs and combinations that seemed to buzz Cevera, who was out-landed on punches in the round 35-5.

The jab was the key weapon for Villa as he led 105-23 in connects as well as holding a 36 percent to eight percent advantage in jab accuracy. Villa exceeded double-digits in jabs in every round but the first.

The lefty Villa said visiting Riverside and spending time with noted trained Robert Garcia has helped his game. “I’ll give myself an 8 ή 9 απόψε,"Είπε. “I believe in my speed. I know there are guys like [Αβενήρ] Mares and [Λέων] Santa Cruz who people know, but visiting Riverside let me see I can step in there with anyone.”

Cevera became the 182ΝΔ career fighter to lose his undefeated record onShoBox. “I knew Ruben Villa was a very fast fighter because I saw some video of him, but I didn’t know he was that fast,” Cervera said. “He’s much faster when you see him inside the ring. I tried everything I could but my distance was off. I was able to hit them with a couple of combinations and he probably felt my power. I don’t disagree with the judges’ decision, he was the better man tonight.”

Στο άνοιγμα της τηλεοπτικής εκπομπής, Cuban heavyweight Frank Sanchez (11-0, 9 KOs) overcame a 14-minute delay between the first and second rounds knocking out former college football player Willie Jake, Jr. (8-2-1, 2 KOs) στο 2:59 του δεύτερου γύρου. Both fighters sat calmly on their stools as local promoters worked to repair two of the ropes that had fallen from their post.See fight highlightsΕΔΩ.

After controlling the action in the first round, Frank’s raw punches simply overpowered the heavier Jake, catching him with a glancing right to the head and a cuffing hook to the body that caused Jake to fall face-first to the canvas and the fight was waved off with just one second remaining in the second round.

Sanchez was the more accurate fighter landing 39 percent of his power shots to Jake’s 25 τοις εκατό. He also outlanded the Indianapolis native in total connects (28-15) and in landed power shots (20-14).

“I wanted to show the world that I’m the new Cuban boxing sensation,” said Sanchez, who grew up in Guantanamo, Κούβα, and now resides in Miami. “I didn’t let the ring rope delay affect my performance. I was ready to go no matter what happened. My manager the great Richard Steele [former boxing referee] is already putting together my next fight. I’m coming for everyone in the heavyweight division. All contenders better watch out.”

The event was promoted by Devin Haney Promotions and Bishop Promotions LLC, in association with Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing. The full telecast will replay on Monday, Ιανουάριος 14 στο 10 μ.μ. ET / PT στο SHOWTIME EXTREME και θα είναι διαθέσιμο σε SHOWTIME ANYTIME® και SHOWTIME για ΖΗΤΗΣΗ®.

Barry Tompkins called the action from ringside with boxing historian Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. The executive producer was Gordon Hall with Richard Gaughan producing and Rick Phillips directing.

Τελικές Τιμές:

DEVIN HANEY:

“This is a 10-round fight for the WBO Intercontinental and WBC International belts, so it’s a big deal. This is a true step up for me.

“It’s important for me build a name in different areas of the country. I’ve fought in Southern California and Philadelphia, and now I’m fighting in Louisiana. This fight I will show who Devin Haney is. In this fight I’ll showcase my skills and I’ll show my full arsenal.

“My style is not a style that people want to fight. I will fight whoever is out there. We haven’t been getting a lot call backs. I’ve had other offers from all the top promotion companies, but I want to remain independent and make my own decisions.

“My opponent has an awkward style. I know he has a lot of confidence and he thinks he can beat me. That’s great for him, but he hasn’t faced anyone with my combination of speed and power.

“At the end of my career I think it would be great if the world continued to say, ‘I don’t know if he can take a punch.’ That would be the goal.”

XOLISANI NDONGENI:

“I’ve trained and sparred with guys at Mayweather’s gym in Las Vegas for four months in 2017. I learned a lot got some great experience.

“I see a young, good prospect in Devin Haney. I just have to keep to my game plan. He doesn’t realize how fast I am. I’ll show some different looks, and know what he’s planning to do. Whatever Haney brings, I’ll adjust.

“I’ve been in some deep waters and I have more rounds than Haney. That experience will pay off for me.

“I’ve been knocked down once in my career. It was early and I came back to knock him down five times and won the fight.

“Haney wants to be called a contender. I’ve been a contender and I know what it takes to be at the top level of the sport. I’ve never taken a fight I wasn’t prepared for or thought that I couldn’t win.”

RUBEN VILLA

“This is exciting and what we’ve been working toward. The contracted weight is 128 για αυτόν τον αγώνα, but I’m a natural featherweight at 126. I’m a southpaw but a natural righty. I throw a lot of jabs, αυτό είναι το στυλ μου.

“I’m representing Salinas and want to be a world champion someday. Είμαι μόνο 21 ετών, and to already be fighting onShoBox is a dream come true.

“People say I don’t have the knockouts, but it’s in my mind and they will come. The power and knockouts will come.

“I once beat Devin [Χάνι] by unanimous decision in the amateurs. Ήμουν 15, and it was in the finals of the Junior Olympics. Devin’s real slick and aggressive and he moves well. That’s how you beat him.

RUBEN CERVERA

“I’ve never been to the U.S., and I love it here. The press conference and the amount of attention this fight is getting is amazing. I’m used to watching this kind of stuff on T.V. But my mind is totally focused on this fight.

“I have power in all my punches. I’m a strong fighter who has to take a step up in my career. Είμαι νέος, μόνο 20 ετών, so I’m anxious to get my career going.

“I know Villa is a southpaw. I’ve fought lefties several times in my career and have had no problem with it.

“There is a lot of talent in Colombia, but there aren’t the resources there to have a good career. You have to sacrifice a lot and that’s what I’ve done.”

FRANK SANCHEZ

“I’m 6-foot-4 and use my height to my advantage. I defected from Cuba in 2016 and my family is still in Cuba. My brother is the only one here in the States with me.

“I’m living in Miami now and training there. That will be my home base now.

“I’d love to fight [Ντίοντεϊ] Γουάιλντερ. I want to be world champion so maybe someday I will. His technique is a little bit wild.

“I had great amateur experience and am a former member of the Cuban national amateur team. I know that will help me. I know there’s never been a heavyweight champion from Cuba, and I plan to be the first one.”

WILLIE JAKE JR.

“Indianapolis is a tough town to be a boxer because there’s not a lot going on there.

“I played college football [for Pasadena City College] but I hurt my wrist and decided to go into the military.

"[Frank] is a little fellow. He needs some maturing. I know they do things differently there in Cuba, but we both are fighting for our families. I’m going to let him know he needs to be a cruiserweight.”
