MASHANTUCKET, CT (Hunyo 4, 2017) – Ang katingad-an nga pagbalik sa Matt “Hait nga Tigpamusil” Remillard nagpadayon kagabii samtang ang sikat nga lightweight sa Connecticut nahunong Fatiou Fassinou sa Broadway Boxing headliner nga gihimo sa Fox Theatre, sa Foxwoods Resort Casino, sa Mashantucket, CT.
Ang Broadway Boxing Ang serye gipasiugda sa DiBella Entertainment ug gipresentar sa Nissan of Queens, Mga Pagbantay sa Azad, OPTYX, ug Christos Steak House.
Remillard, 30, mao ang No.. 2-adunay ranggo nga featherweight sa kalibutan sa 2011, sa dihang napildi siya sa umaabot nga kampeon sa kalibutan Mikey Garcia (LRTD11). Nakig-away gikan sa Manchester, CT, Ang away karong gabii mao ang una ni Remillard sa iyang estado nga natapos sa unom ka tuig ug tunga, tungod sa iyang pagsilbi sa lima ka tuig nga sentensya sa pagkabilanggo. Mibalik siya sa ring kaniadtong miaging Abril, pagkuha usa ka walo ka hugna nga desisyon gikan Augustine Mauras, sa Worcester, MA.
Sa opening round, Remillard (25-1, 14 KOs) ug ang madanihon nga lumad nga Benin, kanhi kampeyon sa WBC International Silver nga si Fassinou (27-6-3, 14 KOs) Nagkaila ang usag usa ingon nga mabinantayon ang parehas nga mga manggugubat. Gibuksan ni Remillard sa ikaduhang hugna, gamit ang iyang wala sa lawas, ihulog si Fassinou sa iyang kanto sa katapusang segundo. Gipilit ni Remillard ang aksyon sa ikatulo, peppering Fassinou sa palibot sa singsing sa iyang pamilyar nga istilo sa pagsilot, pagbutang Fassinou sa iyang “Hait nga Tigpamusil” mga talan-awon alang sa target nga praktis sa ikaupat. Si Fassinou napakyas sa pagtubag sa kampana alang sa ikalimang hugna.
“Batok sa usa ka southernpaw, ang wala nga kawit sa atay naa didto, usa ka suntok nga akong nailhan,” Nagkomento si Remillard pagkahuman sa away. “Siya usa ka gamay nga sloppier kaysa sa akong gilauman. Mibati ko og maayo; Ako 24/7 sa gym. Tingali adunay pa ako usa ka away karong tuiga aron makuha ang pila nga mga hugna, ug unya pag-andam alang sa usa ka dako 2018. Gusto nako og rematch si Garcia, sa 135 o 140 libra, 100-porsyento. Utang ko niya og rematch. Ang lalaki nga gibunalan niya dili ako.”
Ruslan Shamalov (L) & Si George Arias mibalik sa Fight of the Night
Sa co-bahin, duha nga gibug-aton sa New York City, 6’5″ Russian nga Ruslan Shamalov (4-1, 3 KOs) ug Dominican “Lalaki” George arias (7-0, 3 KOs), nakig-away gikan sa Brooklyn ug sa Bronx, sa tinagsa, gibutang ang ilang wala’y pilde nga mga rekord sa linya. Ang kusog nga mga pagsuntok sa kuryente ni Shamalov nag-uyog sa labi ka mubo nga 5'11” Arias sa unang hugna, apan si Arias nagpugong sa mga lubid ug labing maayo nga nakaboksing sa ikaduha. Nagbayloay ang mga bomba og bomba sa tibuuk nga ikatulong hugna ug, bisan unsaon, ang ikaupat labi ka maayo sa pabalik-balik, dili paghunong nga aksyon. Ang lakang mikunhod gamay sa ikalima nga hugna, pagtakda sa entablado alang sa usa ka bomba nga wala sa ikaunom ug katapusan nga bayanan nga wala makapakyas.
Nagpakig-away sila Shamalov ug Arias, labi na sa mga heavyweights, sa usa ka lehitimo nga unom ka hugna “Fight sa Tuig” kandidato. Arias, ang pinuno sa Team Wash Em’ Didto sa Bronx, Nagdaog sa us aka unom ka hugna nga unanimous decision pinaagi sa daghang puntos 60-54, 59-55, ug 58-56.
“Kini nga kadaugan nakapahiuyon sa akon,” Miingon ang usa ka labi nga nalipay nga Arias, pagkahuman sa una niyang unom ka hugna nga away. “Naa koy plano sa dula, pero kausa gipasakitan niya ako sa unang hugna, akong kasingkasing ang mipuli ug nakig-away ra ko. Gusto nakong makig-away alang sa mga tawo, busa akong gikuptan ang una imbis nga magduko.”
Mykquan Williams (R) sayo nga nagsaulog sa iyang graduation sa high school
Paborito sa kadaghanan “Kahibulongan” Mykquan Williams (7-0, 4 KOs) Gihatagan ang iyang kaugalingon usa ka sayo nga graduation sa high school samtang gipilde sa East Hartford fighter ang Nicaraguan welterweight Ariel “Gubat” Vasquez (13-18-2, 9 KOs) sa una nga unom ka hugna nga away. Ang 19-anyos nga si Williams, usa ka lima ka beses nga nasudnon nga kampyon sa amateur, us aka bituon nga nagtubo nga adunay tumang pagtaas. Naabut lapas sa iyang katuigan, Gikontrol ni Williams ang lakang kontra sa iyang gisulayan nga panagsangka sa Southpaw, nga mao ang 11 tuig Williams’ senior, nagpakita sa iyang daghang arsenal sa mga suntok, labi na ang iyang wala ug tuo nga kombinasyon nga kanunay modunggo. Williams’ ang dali nga mga kamot mibuto sa unang higayon sa pagtapos sa ikaduhang hugna, Unya gikuha niya ang iyang pag-atake sa ikatulo, sa iyang pagbiyahe sa usa ka unom ka hugna nga desisyon sa shutout, nga adunay tulo nga mga taas nga 60-54.
Nagtapos si Williams sa Hunyo 20 gikan sa Prince Tech. “Maayo kana nga presentasyon sa pagtapos,” Williams miingon. “Ang akong kadali sa kamut nagdula usa ka dako nga hinungdan. Siya usa ka malisud nga tawo, labi na sa una nakong unom nga round.”
Jennifer salinas (R) daghan kaayo alang kang Marquita Lee
featherweight champion Jennifer “Ang Bolivia nga Rayna” Salinas (20-4, 5 KOs) napildi Marquita Lee (3-5) pinaagi sa usa ka malisud nga giaway nga unom ka hugna nga nagkahiusa nga desisyon. Salinas, away gikan sa Providence, ang nang-agaw sa tibuuk, apan si Lee wala gyud mohimo usa ka paatras nga lakang. Mga scorecard 59-55 kaduha, ug 58-56, tanan para kay Salinas.

Gibiyaan ni Radzhab Butaev si Abraham Alvarez sa banig nga adunay grabe nga kasakit
Wala’y pilde nga prospek sa middleweight sa Russia Radzhab “Ang Python” Butaev (6-0, 4 KOs) sobra ra kaayo alang sa Mexico Abraham “Ang matulin” Alvarez (20-11-1, 11 KOs). Sayo nga gihulog ni Butaev si Alvarez gamit ang usa ka daotan nga left hook, nga gikan niini wala gyud hingpit nga makabawi si Alvarez. Usa ka brutal nga tuo sa atay nga gibutang usab ang banig sa Mexico, sa klaro nga kasakit, ingon referee Joey Lupino gilayon nga gitabyog ang away sa 1:05 sa round sa usa ka.
Cuban cruiserweight Luis “Ang leon” Garcia (15-0, 12 KOs) gitago ang iyang perpekto nga rekord sa pro nga adunay first-round knockout sa iyang labaw nga kaatbang nga Mehikano Felipe Romero (19-14-1, 13 KOs), nakig-away gikan sa San Diego.

Tickets for the event promoted by Mayweather Promotions and DiBella Entertainment, magsugod sa $25. Sila mahimong gipalit online (www.ticketmaster.com,www.barclayscenter.com) o pinaagi sa pagtawag 1-800-745-3000. Tiket anaa usab sa sa American Express Box Office sa Barclays Center. Group diskwento anaa pinaagi sa pagtawag sa 844-BKLYN-GP.

Davis, 22, overcame a childhood filled with hardships to become a prolific amateur and has been virtually unstoppable as a professional. Sama sa usa ka amateur (sa taliwala sa 2006-2012), he entered nine tournaments and came away with gold medals in all but one. He won gold in his last four tourneys, lakip na sa mga 2012 National Golden Gloves Championship at 123 libra.

Since going pro in February 2013, the strong, aggressive-minded southpaw has played smash-mouth against mostly outclassed opponents, winning 13 sa iyang 15 knockouts inside four rounds. To many, Davis resembles a young, smaller version of Mike Tyson in the way he walks down foes, gets on the inside and unloads lethal hooks and uppercuts. He’s gone into the ninth round once and into the sixth round twice. A winner of six straight by knockout, Davis’ lone fight to go the distance came in his ninth outing, a six-round nod over German Meraz, who went down twice, sa Oktubre 2014. Davis is coming off a 0:41, first-round KO over Mario Macias last Hunyo 3.

Although powerful, very fast and determined, the talented Davis is taking a significant leap in class and he may enter the ring as a slight underdog to Puerto Rico’s Pedraza, 27, a solid switch-hitter with first-rate skills, kalihukan ug punching nga gahum. This will be Pedraza’s third defense of the IBF 130-pound title. He’s gone the 12-round distance four times in a row and five times since his pro debut in February 2011. At 5-feet-8½, he is two-and-a-half inches taller than Davis.
Davis, the IBF’s No. 8-ranked super featherweight, who was born and resides in Baltimore, shared thoughts on his upcoming fight from the Uptown Boxing Center in Baltimore:

You’ve been a professional for less than three years, yet you’re less than two weeks away from getting a crack at a world title. What are your thoughts about that?

“It’s been my goal to fight for a world title. Kaayo ko nga masaligon. I’ve worked hard in the gym for over two months for this fight. I’ve put in the hours. I’ve had a great camp with great sparring. I’m not surprised the fight is almost here. This is perfect timing for me.”

Have you done anything differently in this camp?

“Maybe some little things, but not really. We take training seriously. We take all our opponents very seriously. But I have to treat it as just another fight, against another opponent. We know Pedraza is a world champion, a great fighter that comes to fight and we give him his respect as a world-class fighter. I know he’s going to be ready. He’s always ready when it’s time to get in there and do his job. But I’m prepared for him. He doesn’t know what we bring to the table.”

Are you surprised you’re not favored? When was the last time you were an underdog?

“I’m the underdog because he’s the world champion, that’s the reason. Other than that, I feel deep inside that he’s the underdog, but that’s just my assessment. He won’t be showing me anything I haven’t already seen before.

“I’ve never been the underdog in a fight, so this is a first for me.”

When’s the last time you lost a fight?

“I’m competitive all around and don’t like losing. I can’t remember exactly the last time I lost a fight, maybe it was three years ago. All I know for sure is that my mind entering this fight is all about winning.”

Critics talk of your level of competition, or lack of. What’s your opinion of the fighters Pedraza’s successfully defended against lately?

“I’m not taking anything away from Pedraza; he’s beat Stephen Smith and Edner Cherry but those guys don’t bring the power, speed, elusiveness and angles that I do. I’m not downgrading anybody, but they’re mostly average.”

Are you looking at this as an opportunity to showcase your overall skills, durability, ug uban pa?

“A lot of people don’t realize the skills and talent that I have. They see me just going in there like a little Tyson or someone like that. But I have all the tools. I know how to box, how to move my feet. I have good hand speed. I work my angles and things like that. I’m an overall sound fighter, sa usa ka boksidor-puncher.

“I think this will be a wakeup call for boxing, a chance to show that I’m the one. But I’m not coming to be just the top guy. I want to be a superstar and bring joy and entertainment to the sport. Pedraza will bring out the best in me and I will steal the show.”

How do you manage to stay in the moment, and not look back, or can you?

“I’m so thankful that I am part of a strong team, and that I have such a great team. I believe we have the greatest team in boxing. They keep me grounded, nakatutok. They keep me from getting distracted. We all know what the main goal is. I can’t do it all myself, my coach can’t do it all himself, my manager can’t do it all himself. We believe totally in each other as a team. I listen to everything they say.”

How much is your past a motivation, or is it? When you look back at your life do you have memories or nightmares?

“I believe I’ve accomplished a lot. Me just being alive today, me not being in jail or in trouble outside the ring, it’s hard from where I come from. But it’s all helped me handle situations well. I’m so used to dealing with situations. I’m older and know what’s right from wrong. There’s never any pressure when I fight. I’ve won so many fights already I know what to do when I get in the ring.”

How long have you known Floyd? When did you meet him and how would you describe your relationship? What does it mean for Floyd to be your promoter?

“The first time I talked to Floyd (at length) was at the Adrien Broner-Shawn Porterfight (Hunyo 20, 2015). Me and Adrien, we’re friends and he flew me out to Las Vegas for the fight. I worked out at the Mayweather gym and Floyd liked the way I fought, my heart. But the first time I actually met and talked to him came when one of Floyd’s press tours came to Washington, D.C.

“Floyd has always had a major impact on me and my career. I grew up around him. All of us wanted to be like him. Like Tyson and Ali were to the generations of boxers before me, Floyd was our superstar. For him to bring me under his wing, to fight for him, is unbelievably great.”

DeGale worked out and answered questions for media at the Stonebridge Boxing Club as he nears his third straight fight in the United States, this time looking to return to the UK as a unified world champion.

 

Here is what DeGale had to say sa Martes:

 

SANTIAGO DEGALE

 

“This is the best fighting the best and this fight will prove who’s the best in the division — and I believe I am the number one super middleweight on the planet.

 

“Unification fights like this are still rare, never mind the best fighting the best, and me and Jack both wanted the fight. We both want to prove who is the best and everyone is in for a treat on Enero 14.

 

“I’ve got the best trainer in the world in Jim McDonnell; together we won the world title and now we’re going to unify the title. I’m going to win in style and do the business in the big New York City and come away with both belts to bring back to London.

 

“Jack’s a serious fighter, he’s a world champion, he has something I want. The winner of this will be the number in the division.

 

“Growing up, Joe Calzaghe, and Prince Naseem Hamed, they’re the ones I used to watch and I’d think, ‘I can’t wait to do that.’ Calzaghe’s one of my favorite fighters. He’s a bit similar to me. He’s a southpaw, throws sa usa ka daghan sa mga kumo. He’s another one who didn’t get the full credit he was due until after he retired. But that’s how boxing is.

 

“I’ve got to perform. My last couple of performances haven’t been vintage James DeGale. This is the best fighting the best, the champ fighting the champ: this is proper.

 

“I don’t get the respect. I made a bit of history. If I unify the division, going across the pond, no one’s ever done that from Britain.

 

“This is the one. I get love and support, I do have my fans, but it just feels like I look around at different fighters who haven’t done half what I’ve done and they get so much more recognition.

 

“I don’t get the credit: the full recognition, I don’t. But after this fight, people will start respecting me and knowing I’m the best.”

Junior Lightweight Champion Jose Pedraza & Super Bantamweight World Champion Amanda Serrano Represent Puerto Rico Saturday, Enero 14 sa Barclays Center sa Brooklyn & Pagkinabuhi sa Showtime

Leave sa usa ka comment
Only Puerto Rican-Born World Champions
Enter the Ring in Separate World Title Defenses
Ang mga tiket sa Sale Karon!
BROOKLYN (Disyembre 8, 2016)-The only two Puerto Rican-born world champions in boxing are set to show their skills and heart for boxing fans in New York as Jose “Sniper” Pedraza ug Amanda “Real Deal” Serrano defend their titles on Sabado, Enero 14 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and live on Showtime.
“Puerto Rico has such a rich boxing history with many of the sport’s greatest champions hailing from the island,” miingon Lou DiBella, Presidente sa DiBella Entertainment. “Karon, there are only two Puerto Rican-born world champions, junior lightweight Jose Pedraza and junior featherweight Amanda Serrano, and I happen to promote them both. Enero 14 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn is a tremendous card all around, but it will also serve as a celebration of Puerto Rican pride and heritage to be able to watch the country’s only two world champions defend their titles on the same show.”
Pedraza (22-0, 12 KOs) will defend his IBF Super Featherweight World Championship against hard-hitting unbeaten contender Gervonta Davis (16-0, 15 KOs)in the co-main event on SHOWTIME. With his victory in June 2015, Pedraza added his name to the distinguished list of Puerto Rican world champions. After losses suffered by Roman Martinez and McJoe Arroyo, he currently stands as the only remaining male champion born in Puerto Rico.
“Being the only male Puerto Rican-born world champion is something that I’m very proud of,” Miingon Pedraza. “It is also a big weight that I carry on my shoulders. I know that I have to give my best because I am not just a champion of the ring. I am a champion of my island of Puerto Rico. Knowing that all of Puerto Rico will be in there with me encourages me to give my all every time I step into the ring.
“Sa Enero 14 I will be facing a great boxer with a lot of talent, speed ug gahum. Apan, I will let him know what it feels like to share a ring with a real world champion. Davis will enter the ring as a young, hungry unbeaten challenger, but the only thing he will leave with is the first loss on his record.”
Serrano (30-1-1, 23 KOs), a four-division world champion, will defend her WBO Super Bantamweight World Championship against former two-division world champion Yazmin Rivas (35-9-1, 10 KOs) in the SHOWTIME EXTREME main event at 7 sa gabii. UG/PT. The winner of the Serrano-Rivas matchup will earn the prestigious WBC Diamond championship. Serrano’s first world title victory in 2011 made her just the third Puerto Rican-born woman to win a world title.
This bout also signifies the first nationally televised women’s world title bout in nearly a decade, since Mary Jo Saunders fought Valerie Mahfood on March 30, 2007 (ESPN2).
“It feels fantastic to be fighting on SHOWTIME for the first time and sharing the stage at Barclays Center with my countryman Jose Pedraza,” Miingon Serrano. “Knowing that both he and I are currently the only two Puerto Rican-born world champions, male or female, in boxing today is an honor.
“As for Yazmin Rivas being a tough fight, that’s only on paper. I will prove that I am in a different league. There’s a reason why finding someone to fight me wasn’t easy. I’m the hardest hitting female fighter in boxing today. Rivas will soon know that personally.”
Pedraza, sa Caguas, and Serrano, sa Carolina, are the latest in a long line of world class and beloved Puerto Rican champions who will look to put on impressive performances and make a mark nationally with victories in front of the friendly New York crowd. New York City boasts nearly one million Puerto Rican residents, making it the largest population of Puerto Ricans outside of Puerto Rico.
“I met Amanda Serrano at this year’s Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York,” Miingon Pedraza. “She is a kind woman and I can see that, as a champion, Serrano is dedicated and always gives her best. I am proud of her for representing our people of Puerto Rico very well. Sa away sa gabii, Barclays Center will shine with Luz Boricua as Amanda and I seek glory for Puerto Rico together.”
“To be able to defend my world title in Brooklyn, where I live, is a dream come true,” Miingon Serrano. “New York is home to so many Puerto Ricans and I am sure they will really come out in support of this great event. I am truly a fan of my people. I would like to thank Lou DiBella, the best promoter in boxing, for giving me the chance to show the world why I am the ‘Real Deal’! I would also like to thank SHOWTIME for the opportunity. Mr. Esteban Espinoza, I will not disappoint you.”
The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast is headlined by a super middleweight world championship unification showdown between Badou Jack (20-1-2, 12 KOs) ug Santiago DeGale (23-1, 14 KOs), uban sa televised coverage sugod sa 9:30 sa gabii. UG/6:30 sa gabii. PT.

Participants were on hand to discuss the exciting doubleheader on Enero 14 and celebrating the long awaited return of boxing to The Big Apple.
Ania ang giingon sa mga partisipante sa pag-ingon sa Miyerkules:
Jack BADOU
“I think this will be an exciting fight. I’m going to give it my all and he’s going to give it his all. This is a bigger fight than anything we’ve been a part of. He’s going to turn it up and so will I.
“Now it’s me and DeGale. All the other fights are in the past. We’ve had different results against the same fighters. But none of that matters, it’s time to fight.
“A real champion can take a loss and bounce back. It shows what kind of person you are. I’ve proven I’m mentally tough.
“Boxing is not dead. It’s here to stay. There are some very good fights coming up. Probably even more next year.
“I came from Sweden, a country that has no boxing. Now I’m here headlining in New York for a unification fight. Ang langit mao ang utlanan. I always stay humble and never forget where I came from.
“It’s not going to matter what people think on fight night. DeGale is definitely one of the top guys in the division. He’s a road warrior. He comes over here and fights guys in their backyards. He deserves a lot of credit. That’s why this fight is so big. We both want to be great.
“I like being the underdog. If I’m the underdog in this fight, then that’s perfect for me. There won’t be any excuses when I beat him.
“I just try to stay humble win after win and keep looking forward to bigger and better things. After this fight come talk to me about who is the best in the division.
“I don’t want to compare myself to anyone else but I’ve had a couple of good years. Now we’re working to have two even better years.
“I made a mistake and got caught in my loss. I was able to bounce back and it made me a way better fighter. It was definitely a blessing in disguise. People are still overlooking me because of it. I look at it as a good thing.
“Everything happens for a reason. I’m very blessed to be here in Brooklyn. This is my second home in America. I trained at Gleason’s Gym in 2009 and now I’m headlining at Barclays Center. It’s amazing.”
SANTIAGO DEGALE
“Kini dinhi. The big one. The best fighting the best. Number one against number two. Badou Jack is a very good fighter. He doesn’t do anything spectacular, but he’s a compete fighter.
“I have that X-factor. I’ve lost before and I’m not going to lose again. I’ve come too far in my life to lose this opportunity.
“Sa Enero 14, Brooklyn is in for a treat. You will not want to miss this one. Make sure you get your tickets.
“My people in London can’t wait for me to fight at home. It’s coming. But first I want to take over in America.
“New York is one of my favorite cities. It’s a boxing city. I watched Santa Cruz vs. Frampton and it was a wicked atmosphere. I can’t wait to be in there.
“I’m very confident in my abilities. I believe I’m the best in the division and one of the best in the world. I’ve been waiting for this fight for a long time and I’m ready to get in there.
“I think in the last three fights I’ve shown everything. I haven’t been getting the respect that I deserve. I’ve beaten everyone put in front of me. This is what I love to do.
“I’m a natural super middleweight. I want to be in fights where people think I’m going to lose. I’ll challenge anybody.
“Me and Badou Jack are two different fighters. I think I’m going to beat him wide on the scorecards or stop him.”
Jose Pedraza
“I’m thankful to everyone here and my people from New York who I know will be supporting me on fight night.
“I expect this to be a very exciting fight. I’m going to be ready for anything that Davis will bring into the ring. I’m going to take care of business.
“I’m very privileged to help with this cause and to help push boxing in New York. I’m going to represent my people on Enero 14 and I’m very proud of the opportunity.
“If Davis says he has to be killed to be beaten, then he’s going to have to go down.
“I’m undefeated and I will remain undefeated after Enero 14. I know Davis is a strong kid, but he isn’t on my level. I am looking to dominate this fight.
“Fighting at Barclays Center is really a dream come true. I know that I will have a lot of support from the Puerto Rican boxing fans and I’m going to train hard to perform for them.
“I’m sorry for Davis to be signed for Mayweather, because when I take away his undefeated record, I’m going to feel like I beat Mayweather.”
GERVONTA Davis
“It feels great to fight in Brooklyn for the first time. I’ve never fought in New York and it’s tremendous. I’ll have a lot of hometown fans driving up to here for the fight.
“Pedraza is a tough opponent. We’re going to work hard in camp and be ready to fight on Enero 14.
“My hometown has been backing me for all of these years. Sa Enero 14, I get my shot. It’s amazing. I know Pedraza is a great fighter. People will say he has more experience. But I had 206 wins in the amateurs and a lot of titles.
“There’s nothing Pedraza can bring to the ring that I haven’t seen before. I’ve been battle-tested inside the ring and outside the ring.
“He’s going to have to kill me to retain his title. I’m coming home a champion. There’s no doubt about it.
“On paper this is definitely my hardest task. We’re both great fighters. I hope he trains hard because I’m training for the fight of my life.
“I’m going to steal the show on Enero 14. I’m going to get Pedraza out of there and then work to unify the division against the other champs.”
Floyd Mayweather, Presidente sa Mayweather Promotions
“We’re back. What other better city to be in, than New York City? It was always one of my dreams to fight in New York City. I’m glad I’m in a position to put fighters out there to give the fans what they want to see. New York City is the best place for boxing.
“For years and years these fighters have worked so hard and dedicated their lives to get to this point. I’m thankful for everyone who is supporting us and supporting our movement.
“The only thing we’re going to do is continue to build these fighters and help these fighters get to the highest heights. So many people have helped me get to this point, where I can give back to these young fighters.
“Lou DiBella is a guy I love to work with. The boxing business is about working together. Leonard works hard day in and day out to put these fighters in the best position, and I do the same. It’s all about working to get these fighters to the next level.
“We’re here in New York and we want to bring boxing to New York City. This is one of the meccas of boxing. The whole state has embraced me throughout my career.
“I’m very proud of Badou Jack. He’s a guy who carries himself like a gentleman. That’s what a true champion does. He’s very respectful, humble and appreciative.
“Badou Jack is such a hard worker and he’s very appreciative. I remember the position he was in. He’s still very thankful and humble now that he’s in a great position in his life and career.
“I’m just happy that I’m able to put fighters in a good position. They then have to take advantage of the position I put them in.
“We want to continue to do fights in this arena and bring championship boxing to New York City. We want to give you great shows again and again.”
LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO sa Mayweather Promotions
“This is a tremendous platform. Coming to New York is something that Floyd has been advocating for. He’s wanted to bring a big event here and come Enero 14 that’s what the fans are going to get. We have a great night of fights from top to bottom.
“This is everything for Badou. This is why you lace them up when you’re a kid. This is an opportunity to be the best. He’s the best 168-pounder in the world and on Enero 14 he’ll have that platform to do it.
“When it comes to unification, you don’t see too many unified champions. The best fighting the best is what it’s all about. DeGale is an Olympic gold medalist and a world champion. He’s fought some very good fighters. Badou will be making his third title defense and there is no better opponent than DeGale.
“When two guys come together and they want to determine who’s the best, with everything on the line, that’s what it’s all about.
“The fans can expect to see Mayweather Promotions go back to Las Vegas with two world champions. One will be a unified champion and one will be the new super featherweight world champion.
“This is a great step-up for Gervonta. That’s what life is about, stepping up and taking risks. That’s why you get into the sport. He’ll have his full arsenal on display on fight night.”
Lou DIBELLA, Presidente sa DiBella Entertainment
“Fans should go out and buy their tickets once they go on sale. There is going to be a show here on Enero 14. We have lawyers and insurance people on it and we will pay what needs to be paid.
“This announcement not only represents a fight announcement, but a call to action to all boxing fans. Boxing needs your help in New York. We need to change or repeal this law that has really shut us down. Even if we can get really expensive insurance for Enero 14, the small promoters and small fights and grassroots boxing have come to a standstill.
“Come out to this incredible fight card on Enero 14. Jack vs. DeGale is as good as it gets. Jose Pedraza is Puerto Rico’s only champion and he’s defending against Gervonta Davis. That is a great fight. The undercard is also going to be terrific.
“It also represents boxing trying to take its rightful place back. We’re not sitting back in 2017 and letting our industry be brought to a halt. We’re going ahead and announcing Enero 14. But we need everyone’s help with respect to making the necessary changes to allow our sport to thrive in this space again.
“I promoted Badou early in his career and he is a terrific fighter. He does everything well. He’s active in the ring and he makes good fights, and so does DeGale. He comes forward and fights. These two guys are going to throw down. This is a fan friendly main event. With huge significance.
“The opening bout features Puerto Rico’s only champion, fighting in front of New York’s huge Puerto Rican community. Gervonta Davis comes right up from Baltimore and it’s a can’t-miss fight.”
BRETT YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Kalingawan
“We want to reinforce our commitment to boxing. Not just from a Barclays Center perspective, but from a state perspective. Boxing is very important to the history here in New York and we want that to continue. We want to take a lead position as the sport continues to grow and thrive in the marketplace.
“We have become one of the premier venues in the country for boxing. We look forward to a very successful 2017. This fight in particular is very important to us. We haven’t had a championship event here since July. Floyd being involved brings a whole different dynamic as well and we’re excited for a tremendous undercard full of Brooklynites.
“Floyd has been here to the Barclays Center several times and we’re thrilled that he’s back. It’s a pleasure to welcomes Badou Jack and James DeGale to Brooklyn and I’m confident that you will like the Brooklyn crowd.
“There has not been a major boxing event at Barclays Center since the Hulyo 30 Santa Cruz vs. Frampton card and we’re proud to take the lead on bringing boxing back to New York. We’re excited that Enero 14 will be the first major boxing card in New York in 2017. We are more committed than ever before to bringing boxing to Barclays Center.
“It’s a very exciting time for the building, for the sport and it should be an electric evening for the sport.”
Esteban Espinoza, Executive VP & General Manager, Showtime Sports
“This card is unique, high quality and special. You don’t see cards like this every day. These four fighters have made a combined 14 appearances on SHOWTIME. We’re very proud of these four fighters.
“To create and deliver special events, it takes commitment. When you’re committed to a cause, special things happen. We’ve done special things with Mayweather Promotions and now we have this great card coming to us.
“The four young men on the stage today are some of the most talented and accomplished athletes in the sport. This is the best this sport has to offer. They’re committed to taking on other accomplished athletes. We have four of those fighters here on the televised portion and we have to salute them.
“New York City has a tremendous history in boxing. It’s hosted the biggest fights in the history of the sport. Barclays Center has emerged as the biggest and most aggressive supporter of boxing on the east coast. We’re optimistic that there won’t be any holdup getting to Enero 14.
“No network is as committed or as passionate about boxing as SHOWTIME is. The biggest and the best fights are on SHOWTIME. No other network is televising fights like these. Top five versus top five and champion versus champion. There is no better way to kick-off boxing in 2017 than with this great card at Barclays Center.”
ERIC ADAMS, Brooklyn Borough President
“Now is the call for action. We have witnessed what happens when the call for action is not personified and mobilized. Too many people pass legislation and are focused on the paper it’s written on, instead of the people who are impacted by it. It is clear that New York state is the Empire State where we build empires instead of destroying them and we are destroying the empire of boxing in New York.
“If we don’t do something about this piece of legislation, then these fighters will no longer have the aspiration to fight in the state that they love. That cannot happen. New Yorkers don’t follow the agenda, we lead the agenda. We must do that to make sure this is done correctly.
“We are going to mobilize and move in the right direction while protecting the fighters. We don’t want to knock out boxing in the state of New York. That cannot happen.
“This is going to be a great opportunity for these fighters and for Brooklyn and we are thankful to the team at Barclays for putting these fighters on this great stage.”
