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.

“I’ve fought a lot of big fights, 52 тепачки, во Англија, САД, Латинска Америка, 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’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. Прво, 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, happened, 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.”

“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 Mati (9-0 7 КО) – 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, Шилдс, Katie Taylor, 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.”

Ханеј vs.. Gamboa е борба за 12-тина круга светска титула која се одржува во хотелот Семиноле Хард Рок во Лас Вегас, Невада, и ќе биде главниот настан на многу очекуваниот Натпревар САД картичка во соработка со Промоции на Девин Ханеј, емитувана на ДАЗН.
Еве што Девин Ханеј, шампион во лесна категорија ВБЦ, мораше да каже пред борбата со Гамбоа додека го завршуваше последниот ден на тренинг кампот во Лас Вегас.
На неговиот неодамнешен тренинг камп во Лас Вегас.
„Останувам во теретана, Јас во основа живеам во теретана, па штом започне кампот, Ставив се на тренинг. Не сакам да бидам презаситен, и ме водат оние околу мене. Јас сум исклучително фокусиран во моментов. Beе бидам заштитно лице на боксот.”
На враќање по повредата на рамото.
„Ниту еден спортист не сака да биде повреден. Одвоив време што требаше, ги слушаше лекарите, и нека ми се одмори телото. Една добра работа од нарачките за социјално дистанцирање и одење дома беше што се случи за време на опоравувањето, па можев да бидам целосно одморен откако ќе се отворат спортските сали. јас сум сега 100% и подобро од кога било, ќе видиш во борбената ноќ “.
На неговиот натпревар со Јуриоркис Гамбоа.
„Гамбоа направи многу во спортот, и фактот дека на многу борци им даде тешки борби, кажува многу за него. Сакам да докажам една точка во овој натпревар дека многу луѓе не го споменуваат моето име меѓу најдобрите во светот, и барам да го сменам тоа со изведување на натпревар против Гамбоа, кој никој досега го нема видено. Јас ја почитувам Гамбоа како борец, но во рингот, Јас воопшто нема да го почитувам. Во рингот тој е мојот непријател.
Што значи спектакуларна победа за вашата кариера.
„Очигледно, победа ми ја дава одбраната на 2-та светска титула, што е многу важно за мене. Одбраната на титулата покажува многу за тоа каков борец сте навистина. Не ми е гајле како го освоивте или од кого го освоивте…можете ли да ја одбраните светската титула против сите предизвикувачи? Тоа е она што јас го претставувам како шампион во враќање назад. Може да имате стратегија да стигнете таму, но кога ќе станете шампион, станувате мета. Тенк Дејвис, Теофимо Лопез и Рајан Гарсија се одлични потенцијални противници за мене. Повеќе сакам да се борам порано отколку подоцна, но тие треба да се чувствуваат исто како мене. Имам цел да бидам првиот боксер милијардер, и за да го направам тоа, морам да претставам перформанси милијарди долари. Тоа е токму она што ќе го направам на 7-ми ноември во Мајами “.

„Јуриокис Гамбоа е опасен и искусен борец,“, Рече Ханеј. „Тој е поранешен унифициран светски шампион, и тој беше во рингот со некои од најдобрите. Со голем удар го повреди Теренс Крафорд, така што неговата моќ не треба да се игнорира. Тој го победи Орландо Салидо кој го победи Василиј Ломаченко. Пред неполна година го одведе ervервонта Дејвис во 12-та рунда, нешто што никој досега не бил во можност да го направи. Гамбоа е вистински воин и не го сфаќам лесно. Ги повикав сите врвни имиња, и конечно добив некој што ќе ме предизвика за мојата титула. Имам намера да дадам изјава во оваа борба. Мојот глад е на друго ниво. Време е да му покажеме на светот кој е најдобриот борец во боксот и тоа сум јас!"
„Јас сум исклучително благодарен на Бога што дозволи да се случи оваа борба и за чудото да го излекувам мојот Ахил,“, Рече Гамбоа. „Сонував и посакував да се борам за Зелениот појас на ВБЦ уште од времето кога бев аматер во Куба. Подготвен сум и решен да ја освојам оваа титула за моите обожаватели и да докажам дека грешат оние што ме отпишаа како измиен борец. На кратко излегов против Дејвис поради мојот Ахил во второто коло, но јас се борев со остатокот од борбата на едната нога, повредувајќи го во средните рунди. Toе видите здрав Гамбоа како се бори со двете мои нозе, тупаници и воинско срце. Со Божји благослови ќе излезам победник ноември. 7."

„Гејб зборуваше во оваа борба и сега е време да видиме дали може да даде поддршка,”- рече Jacејкобс. „Тој има голема уста и постојано го носи моето име повеќе од една година - но на ноември. 27 разговорот запира и едвај чекам да го замолчам. Мојата цел е да станам Светски шампион во две категории во 2021 и тоа започнува со голема победа во Флорида. После тоа, Подготвен сум да се засилам и да се борам со еден од светските шампиони 168 фунти. "
„Навистина сум возбуден за борбата,”Рече Росадо. „Имаше многу напред и назад меѓу мене и Jacејкобс, и борбата конечно да се случи, Јас сум повеќе од подготвен. Почнав тренинг камп со Фреди Роуч во ЛА во бокс во Вајлд кард, и јас само барам да направам едно пеколно шоу за фановите. Дефинитивно ќе му ја донесам борбата на Дани и ќе биде одлично “.
И двата настани се натрупани картички за поддршка на главниот настан. Има вкус во тешка категорија на картичката Ханеј со хрватскиот талент Филип Хрговиќ (11-0, 9 КО) со кои се соочува Американецот Ридел Букер (26-3, 13 КО) и кинеската starвезда ileилеи hangанг (21-0, 18 КО) средба со друг Американец во Девин Варгас (22-6, 9 КО).

Талентот од Фресно беше планиран да го направи својот лак во платените редови во Тулса, Оклахома во август, но тој бил позитивен на КОВИД-19. Сега аматерската сензација конечно ги затегнува и им се придружуваат колегите аматерски владетели во олимпискиот златен медалист Даниер Јелеусинов (9-0, 5 КО), трикратен светски аматерски шампион Магомедрасул Маџидов (2-0, 2 КО), и млади таленти Никита Абабиј (9-0, 6 КО) и Алексис Еспино (6-0, 4 КО).
„Не можам да ја чекам нашата САД. враќање во Флорида - две наредени карти со многу возење на нив,", Рече промоторот Еди Hearn. „Поделбата во лесна категорија е во пламен и нема подобро време Девин да се врати во акција и да даде голема изјава на Хард Рок. Иако Девин може да биде следната голема работа, кога ќе го погледнете неговото CV, Јуриоркис е убедливо неговиот најтежок тест до сега. Неколку недели подоцна, лошата крв помеѓу Даниел и Гејб ќе дојде до израз кога ќе се судрат, и победникот во таа борба ќе се најде во одлична позиција за стрелање на светска титула 168 фунти. во 2021 година “.
„Има толку многу интересни заговор на обете картички. Тешките тежини се во центарот на вниманието на ноември. 7, со Филип и ileилеи, двајца борци од светска класа кои сакаат да ги вложат своите тврдења за масовни борби следната година, како и Магомедрасул кој се бори на ноември. 27."
„Марк беше разочаран што неговото деби беше одложено, но сензацијата во Фресно повторно се фокусираше и не е лошо да се научи да се справи со таквиот неуспех - тој работи толку напорно на тренинг, и мислам дека ќе видиме спектакуларно деби “.
„Оставаме голем тест за Даниер, и толку многу млади starsвезди на картите почнуваат да одат во фазите во својата кариера каде што ќе се преселат на следното ниво, така што очекувам две возбудливи ноќи на акција во државата Сонце “.

“Alfredo Santiago is my next opponent; he’s undefeated, тој е гладен, and he’s coming to win. I take every fight very serious and this fight is no different. Tune in next Saturday and you’ll see that the hype is real.”
“Прво и основно, I would like to thank Matchroom Boxing and Fresh Productions for this opportunity,” said Santiago. “This is the moment that I’ve been dreaming of since I was a kid, and the one I’ve been waiting for since I became a boxer. I am physically and mentally ready, and I am going to show who the best 135lber in the world is.
“Г-дин. Haney is a formidable fighter who chose the wrong opponent. He cannot beat me. I belong to ‘The Terror Squadron’, the best boxing team in the world. This is my time.”
“I am delighted to see Devin defend his World title on November 9,” said promoter Eddie Hearn. “We’re going to have a huge crowd of new fight fans at the arena and tuning in all around the world to watch KSI and Logan Paul, and Devin is the perfect fighter to showcase what boxing is all about to a potential crop of new fight fans – тој е млад, возбудливи, confident and relatable – the perfect mix.
“Alfredo Santiago is a hungry young fighter himself and this is a golden opportunity for him to halt Devin’s charge to superstardom – but I believe that ‘The Dream’ will shine and being his reign as World champion in style.”
Haney’s clash with Santiago is part of a huge night of action in Los Angeles as YouTube sensations KSI and Logan Paul clash in a rematch of their controversial draw – this time as professional fighters.

LAS VEGAS, Н.В. (Октомври 10, 2019) – Undefeated WBC interim champion, Девин “Сонот” Ханеј (23-0, 15 КО), is calling out all promoters to join him and his co-promoter, Еди Hearn на Matchroom бокс, in their quest to bring boxing back to its glory days, where the best always fought the best.
After his stunning victory overZaur Abdullaev (11-1, 7 КО), where he fractured his orbital bone with a crushing overhand right, Haney became the mandatory challenger to fight pound for pound kingVasyl Lomachenko (14-1, 10 КО), 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. Тој беше 1-0, Јас сум 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 фунти!”
“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. Во моментов, 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, Промоции на Девин Ханеј. “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.”

DHP has a commitment to bring fans the most exciting shows with some of the best fighters in the world. Globally, DHP is respected as a premier promoter in boxing.
Август 6, 2019 – Devin Haney can take a giant leap towards World title glory when he faces fellow unbeaten star Zaur Abdullaev in a final eliminator for the WBC World Lightweight title on Friday September 13 at the Hulu Theater in Madison Square Garden, Њујорк, live on DAZN in the US and on Sky Sports in the UK.
Ханеј (22-0 14 КО) made an electrifying debut with Matchroom Boxing USA and DAZN in May, destroying Antonio Moran with a KO of the year contender in the seventh round of their clash in Maryland. На 20 year old fights in the Big Apple for the first time in his career and the Las Vegas native, рангираше #2 with the WBC, hits Manhattan for his biggest fight yet in association with DHP Promotions and Titov Boxing.
Abdullaev (11-0 7 КО) is ranked #3 with the WBC having landed the Silver Lightweight strap in just his ninth pro outing in April 2018, and the highly rated and dangerous Russian registered his 11таpro win and seventh inside the distance in February, stopping Humberto Martinez in Ekaterinburg, and now fights outside his homeland for the first time in his career.
The WBC crown will be in the hands of either Vasiliy Lomachenko or Luke Campbell MBE when the clash at The O2 in London on August 31, with Haney and Abdullaev keenly observing that clash from their training camps become locking horns on September 13.
“It always feels good when I get the official date,” said Haney. “I stay in the gym because I’m a dog and I love to fight. I want the world to see me rise to my competition. The better they are the better I am. I’m fighting an undefeated fighter at Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden.
“New York fans are some of the most loyal fans in sports and I’m looking forward to really putting on a show for them. Abdullaev likes to apply pressure and I expect nothing less on September 13. I’ve seen him fight and he’s a hungry fighter, there’s no doubt he is my toughest opponent to date. This fight is one step away from a World title fight so we both have a lot on the line.
“Abdullaev doesn’t have a big name, but he’s ranked #3 for a reason, and I’m not ducking him or anyone else that stands in my way. I’m blessed to have tremendous support from DAZN and Eddie Hearn. With this partnership I have an opportunity to fight the best in the world. I encourage everyone in NYC to buy their tickets or get the DAZN App and watch my growth into the next superstar in boxing. This fight is going to be lit!”
“I’m delighted that the fight is happening,” said Abdullaev. “I was panicking when I saw some posts from Haney on social media that nobody wants to fight him at 135lbs, and he might have to move up in weight. I kept biting my nails and really wanted to get engaged but been told to stay patient. Allah the gracious has delivered this fight and now its reality.
“I am a bit disappointed that the fight won’t be at Haney’s Las Vegas back yard as it would have been great to dethrone him in front of his home crowed, but New York is a great boxing city. I’m not silly and I do understand that I’m coming as an underdog but on September 13, I’m coming to crash the hype against all odds.”
WBA and IBF World Super-Bantamweight champion Daniel Roman leads a stacked undercard in a mouth-watering chief-support bout as he takes on lethal WBA mandatory challenger Murodjon Akhmadaliev. Римската (27-2-1 10 КО) unified his WBA crown with the IBF strap of Irishman TJ Doheny in a fight of the year contender at home in Los Angeles in April, a fifth World title win on the bounce a fourth inside 14 months for the 29 години.
Roman’s fifth defense of his WBA crown pits him against dangerous Uzbek talent Akhmadaliev (6-0 5 КО) – the highly decorated amateur has looked fearsome in ending five of his six pro outings to date inside the distance, со 25 year old’s last win coming on the same LA bill as Roman’s dust-up with Doheny. Roman vs. Akhmadaliev is brought to you in association with Thompson Boxing and World of Boxing.
“Anyone that knows me understands that I’m a real fighter,” said Roman. “I’ll fight anyone they put in front of me. Akhmadaliev is hungry, но толку сум јас. It wasn’t that long ago [2017] when I challenged for the WBA title so we’re not going to give it up. I’m here to fight and defend the WBA belt once more. I have two belts [ВБА и ИБФ], but I want more. My goal is to get all of them so by no means am I overlooking Akhmadaliev. He has that amateur pedigree, can punch with power and likes to come forward. The second you underestimate someone, that’s when bad things happen. I’ll be ready for whatever he brings.
“As a unified champion, I understand that I have a target on my back. That’s why I’ve been in the gym, staying sharp like I always do. There’s no time to relax and look back at what I’ve done because my work isn’t finished.”
“Danny is among the most committed and disciplined World champions out there,” said Ken Thompson, president of Thompson Boxing Promotions. “He relishes challenges and at this point in his career, he only wants the toughest and biggest fights. Akhmadaliev is a young and dangerous opponent, but Danny has all the tools to continue his reign as the best talent in the division. We’re confident that he’ll deliver another excellent performance and retain his WBA title for the fifth time.”
“I am very glad that Daniel Roman took this fight,” said Akhmadaliev. “I know that we are both warriors and this will be a real war! Не ја пропуштајте оваа борба!”
“We have been waiting for this fight for some time,” said Vadim Kornilov from World of Boxing. “I believe with the will, character, and power of both of these guys, this fight will be a fight of the year candidate.”
There’s more World title action on the bill as record-breaking seven-weight World champion Amanda Serrano challenges WBO World Featherweight champion Heather Hardy in an all-Brooklyn affair, brought to you by DiBella Entertainment in association with Matchroom Boxing USA.
Серано (36-1-1 27 КО) conquered her seventh weight class at the Hulu Theater in title in January when the Puerto Rican destroyed Eva Voraberger inside the opening round to claim the vacant WBO Super-Flyweight title.
Serrano held the WBO Featherweight strap in 2016 before vacating it then her sister Cindy picked it up later that year. Харди (22-0 4 КО) was next in line to win the vacant title in October in a rematch against Shelley Vincent in the Hulu Theater. Hardy put boxing on hold to return to MMA in June with an outing at Bellator 222 at Madison Square Garden but returns to boxing to go head-to-head with her fellow Brooklynite.
“We found out in February that as a super-champion Amanda could call out any champion in any weight division and she would be the next defense — and she chose me. I didn’t get this far in the boxing game to not know how it works, they’re hyping up a big fight between her and Katie Taylor and this is the second of Amanda’s three-fight deal.
“It will be my first time competing as an underdog even as the current world champion but I’m excited as hell. Everyone knows I have the balls for it. I grew up with a tough mamma, trust me – nobody scares me.”
“I’m very excited to be back in the ring and excited to be fighting Heather Hardy,” Саид Серано. “Heather is 22-0 for a reason, she always finds a way to win. 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.”
“Во петокот, Септември 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,” рече Лу DiBella, Претседателот на DiBella Забава. “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. This is a must-win fight for both boxers and will steal the show.”
The Heavyweight landscape remains a hot one and there’s a great 50-50 clash on the card as Michael Hunter challenges Sergey Kuzmin for the WBA Intercontinental title. Ловец (17-1 12 КО) holds the International strap with the WBA having KO’d Alexander Ustinov in Monte Carlo in November and defended that with a second round KO of Fabio Maldonado in Maryland in May. На 31 year old is rapidly rising in the rankings and can take a huge leap towards World title action with a win but faces a crunch challenge in the form of Kuzmin (15-0 11 КО).
The unbeaten Russian puts the strap he won at Wembley Stadium in London in September against David Price and first saw off LaRon Mitchell and then Joey Dawejko in successful Stateside defenses. With Kuzmin ranked #5 and Hunter #8 with the WBA, the victor in New York will be knocking on the door for a title shot, raising the stakes in this pick’em match-up, in association with World of Boxing.
“I’m excited to be fighting Sergey,” said Hunter. “I know that this is not going to be an easy fight, but I am definitely up for the challenge and I want to show people that I am the best in the division.”
“I have worked very hard for this opportunity,” said Kuzmin. “I am here to win this fight and go after the World title. It doesn’t matter to me whether this fight is in the USA or in Russia, I am very confident in my victory. I know my opponent very well, he’s a good boxer, but only one of us is going to be victorious.”
“This is a fight between two top ten prospects, both hold regional titles,” said Vadim Kornilov of World of Boxing. “This fight will hopefully be an eliminator for the World championship mandatory.”
“This is a brilliant show and a big chance for Devin to take NYC by storm,” said promoter Eddie Hearn. “Abdullaev is a dangerous undefeated fighter but Devin is ready for all comers and wants to win this fight and then go straight into the Lomachenko vs. Campbell winner. It’s crazy to believe he is just 20 години – I think it’s fair to say he is the most exciting young fighter in the world right now.
“Roman vs. Akhmadaliev is an absolute war, Danny refused to vacate the belt and like a true champion will face a young fearless, hard hitting mandatory challenger who is taking a giant leap after just six fights.
“The Heavyweight division is red hot and Hunter v Kuzmin maybe one of the match ups of the year – do not blink on this one! We probably could have filled this venue with Serrano vs. Hardy alone, it’s an amazing fight for NYC with the winner set for a defining Katie Taylor fight next. Do not miss this show!”
“We are excited to kick off our busy fall line-up with the return of blue-chip prospect Devin Haney on DAZN,” said Joseph Markowski, DAZN EVP, North America. “Matchroom has put together a stacked card for New York fight fans and those watching around the world on DAZN. We are preparing to close out our first year in boxing with a bang and it all starts September 13 at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden.”
An announcement on ticket prices and on-sale dates will be made later this week.

SHREVEPORT – January 12, 2019 – Devin Haney passed the biggest test of his young career Friday night onShoBox: Новата генерација, 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.
Ханеј (21-0, 13 КО) scored a second-round knockdown and wore Ndongeni (25-1, 13 КО) down with punishing body shots in the latter part of the fight in winning easily on all three judges’ scorecards, 100-89 два пати, and 99-90.See the second-round knockdownТУКА.
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,", Рече тој. “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 interviewТУКА.
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,“, Рече Ханеј, 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? Сигурно. 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 удари и 53-22 моќ). 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, Можам да кутија, I can bang, I do it all. Јас сум подготвен…no one is stopping me.”
In a battle of undefeated Rubens, former decorated amateur Ruben Villa (15-0, 5 КО) handed Colombian Ruben Cervera (10-1, 9 КО) 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 highlightsТУКА.
The 21-year-old two-time Junior Olympic National Champion and the 2014 и 2015 National Golden Gloves Champion from Salinas, Калифорнија., 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 или 9 вечерва,", Рече тој. “I believe in my speed. I know there are guys like [Авенир] Mares and [Лав] Santa Cruz who people know, but visiting Riverside let me see I can step in there with anyone.”
Cevera became the 182риcareer 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.”
Во отворачот за телевизиска емисија, Cuban heavyweight Frank Sanchez (11-0, 9 КО) overcame a 14-minute delay between the first and second rounds knocking out former college football player Willie Jake, Џуниор. (8-2-1, 2 КО) на 2:59 на вториот круг. 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 highlightsТУКА.
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 проценти. 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, Куба, 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, Јануари 14 на 10 вечер.

ЗАВРШНИ цитати:
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 for this fight, but I’m a natural featherweight at 126. I’m a southpaw but a natural righty. I throw a lot of jabs, тоа е мојот стил.
“I’m representing Salinas and want to be a world champion someday. I’m only 21 години, and to already be fighting onShoBoxis 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 [Ханеј] by unanimous decision in the amateurs. Бев 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. Јас сум млад, само 20 години, 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 [Deontay] Wilder. 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.
"[Франк] 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.”
