Ecco cosa hanno detto giovedì i partecipanti alla conferenza stampa:

GERVONTA DAVIS

“Io e la mia squadra abbiamo deciso di spostare il nostro campo a Las Vegas in modo da poter avere un campo perfetto. Abbiamo trascorso 15 settimane di formazione, quindi sono ben preparato. Speriamo che Leo sia ben preparato e diamo ai fan quello che vogliono vedere.

"Sappiamo che Leo arriverà con molti pugni e io sarò esplosivo. Si tratta solo di dare un regalo ai fan. Sono grato di essere in questa posizione e sono pronto. Sabato sera sarà una notte memorabile.

“Non prendere niente da lui, Yuriorkis Gamboa stava solo cercando di sopravvivere contro di me. È più difficile ricevere pugni quando qualcuno non sta cercando di portare la lotta. So che Leo verrà a combattere. Penso che questa performance mi porterà al livello successivo.

"Non credo di doverlo mettere fuori combattimento, Devo solo andare là fuori ed essere fantastico. Dimentica tutto il resto, Devo solo andare là fuori e mostrare a tutti che sono il miglior ragazzo nel mondo della boxe. Questo è il mio obiettivo principale.

"Michael Jordan leggeva il giornale e faceva quello che dicevano che non poteva fare. È quello che sto facendo. Devo dimostrare di essere l'uomo più cattivo dello sport sabato sera.

"Leo verrà a combattere e si tratta solo di me che faccio un passo avanti e faccio quello che so fare meglio. Puoi vedere il potenziale di un combattente dall'esterno, ma devi vederlo effettivamente uscire in una lotta per crederci. Questa è la posizione in cui mi trovo. Tutti sanno che sono fantastico, Devo solo mostrarlo.

"Leo ha dimostrato di essere un combattente di alto livello, e sta andando contro un esplosivo, combattente potente come me. Penso che il vincitore dovrebbe essere tra i primi 10 dell'elenco libbra per libbra.

“Floyd Mayweather mi ha appena detto di rimanere concentrato nonostante tutto ciò che viene fornito con la settimana in pay-per-view. Devo prima portare a termine il lavoro, ma anche fare tutto ciò che è necessario per essere la prossima star del pay-per-view.

"Sono uno di quei combattenti che sa come concentrarsi quando ho qualcosa di grande davanti a me. Nessuno dei grandi combattenti prima di me si è congelato quando è il momento cruciale. Sono sempre stato in grado di concentrarmi quando sono in gioco grandi cose. È quello che ho fatto per questo campo di addestramento.

"Non sono davvero concentrato su nessuno che non sia Leo Santa Cruz. Non posso trascurare Leo. Per quanto riguarda qualsiasi altro combattente là fuori, semplicemente non mi interessano adesso. Lo proverò lungo la strada. Questo è un passo avanti per dimostrare il punto che voglio dimostrare ".

LEO SANTA CRUZ

"Questo è quello che ho sempre sognato. Quando ero un ragazzino, Volevo essere su questo palco. Sto vivendo quel sogno e sono molto felice ed emozionato. Non avrei mai pensato di riuscirci. Ho pensato che fosse come vincere alla lotteria. Ma grazie ai fan, Sono qui dove sono.

"Sto affrontando il miglior combattente della divisione. Se vuoi essere il migliore, devi battere il migliore. Devo andare contro il miglior combattente. Volevo sfidare me stesso. So che questa è una lotta pericolosa per me, ma voglio mettermi alla prova.

"Abbiamo entrambi sofferto e passato molto per arrivare qui. Nessuno di noi vuole tornare al punto di partenza. Quindi so che entrambi daremo una grande battaglia ai fan.

“Ho il cuore di un guerriero messicano. Mio padre mi ha detto di combattere una lotta intelligente, ma anche se lo dirà, ci sono buone probabilità che finisca per litigare con lui, a volte. Non importa cosa, troveremo un modo per batterlo.

"Non mi preoccupo davvero di essere il perdente. Ognuno ha la sua opinione. Il mio lavoro è andare là fuori e dimostrare che i dubbiosi si sbagliano. Mi sono allenato duramente per andare là fuori e farlo sabato.

"Gervonta è il miglior avversario che ho affrontato. È il combattente più forte che avrò affrontato. I combattimenti Abner Mares e Carl Frampton sono stati una grande esperienza per questo tipo di combattimento. Ho imparato molto da quei quattro incontri e da allora ho imparato molto di più.

“Per me significherebbe il mondo diventare un campione in cinque divisioni. Sarebbe un altro sogno che si avvera. Metterei il cognome di Santa Cruz proprio lì con i migliori.

"Gervonta è un ragazzo grande e so che verrà colpito duramente. Ma mi sono allenato con ragazzi più grandi in tutto il campo e sono stato in grado di prendere tutto ciò che mi veniva lanciato.

“I fan vogliono che tu vada a fare una guerra avanti e indietro. So che contro Gervonta devo combattere in modo intelligente. Cercherò solo di ascoltare il consiglio di mio padre il più possibile.

“Ho decisamente preso questa lotta per calmare i critici. La gente diceva che non volevo combattere contro i grandi nomi. Quindi ho seguito la sfida più grande della divisione e questo è Gervonta Davis.

“Lascio le opinioni ai fan e ai media. Il mio lavoro è ottenere la vittoria e dare ai fan una bella battaglia. Darò il massimo e lascerò tutto sul ring. "

CALVIN FORD, Allenatore di Davis

“Il campeggio è stato fantastico. È stato incredibile. Apprezzo molto il lavoro che ha svolto. Non vedo l'ora di vedere Tank sul ring. Non vedo l'ora di grandi prestazioni da entrambi i combattenti.

"'Tank' ha realizzato molte cose che gli avevo chiesto di fare, ma questo è l'apice di tutti loro qui. Entrambe queste famiglie hanno percorso la stessa linea con sentieri diversi. Entrambi hanno la possibilità di diventare grandi con questa vittoria.

"Ogni volta che guardo" Tank "adesso, Ricordo con un flash quegli anni da bambino in palestra con lui. Ora è l'uomo che ho sempre considerato come lui. È un padre di famiglia, uomo d'affari e un meraviglioso combattente. È incredibile vedere uno dei miei ragazzi tutti cresciuti. "

JOSÉ SANTA CRUZ, Padre e allenatore di Santa Cruz

“Abbiamo fatto un ottimo campo di addestramento e comprendiamo l'importanza di questa lotta. Leo è completamente preparato per questa lotta sabato e mi aspetto che abbia una grande prestazione.

"Sono molto grato di essere qui. Sono così felice di essere qui con mio figlio per una battaglia così grande ed essere in grado di guidarlo e aiutarlo a realizzare il suo sogno.

“Sappiamo che Davis è un combattente molto forte e compiuto. Ma Leo l'ha usato ogni giorno per motivarlo in palestra e sabato lo vedrai ".

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Presidente, Programmazione di eventi e sport, Showtime Networks Inc.

"Uno dei motivi principali per cui amo la boxe è perché possiamo assistere ai giovani uomini, come "Tank" Davis e Leo Santa Cruz, svilupparsi e maturare proprio davanti ai nostri occhi. Questa è la nostra nona battaglia con "Tank" e 13th con Leo. Li abbiamo visti maturare come combattenti e li abbiamo visti maturare come giovani uomini. Li abbiamo visti lottare, sudore, e trionfo. Li abbiamo visti diventare padri ".

"Ricordo la prima volta che ho incontrato" Tank ", era aprile 2016 a Washington, D.C. Era sulla undercard non televisiva di una lotta di Adrien Broner. Aveva già combattuto, è venuto durante la trasmissione e Floyd lo ha presentato. Ricordo le sue stesse parole, 'Questo è il mio giovane combattente. Attento a questo ragazzo. "E da allora lo guardiamo.

“Ricordo che la prima volta che ho incontrato Leo è stato a giugno 2012. Poco prima del suo primo incontro per il titolo mondiale. Era molto umile, silenzioso, parlato dolcemente, giovani quasi timidi. Molto diverso dal ragazzo che ho visto sul ring 48 ore dopo. Il punto è, siamo stati insieme per il viaggio di questi giovani uomini.

“Hanno combattuto le probabilità, letteralmente dalla nascita. Siamo stati abbastanza fortunati da trascorrere del tempo con loro durante ALL ACCESS. Hanno aperto i loro cuori, le loro menti, e se stessi per condividere le loro storie. La cosa che ho sentito di più è che la difficoltà di questo combattimento non è se le persone vogliono guardarlo o se lo compreranno, è per chi faranno il tifo. Perché se conosci le storie di questi giovani uomini, quello che hanno passato, e quello che hanno vissuto, è incredibile.

"La linea di fondo è che in questi due giovani uomini abbiamo due dei giovani combattenti più affermati e popolari nello sport oggi. Leo has been a champion almost consistently since 2012. ‘Tank’ had sellouts or near sellouts in Los Angeles, Baltimore and Atlanta, just last year. We have got these two accomplished young men fighting on Saturday night. You have to respect their journey, da dove vengono, and respect the teams that come around him.

“We do know what’s going to happen on Saturday night. Leo is going to come into the ring, throw a lot of punches and show an activity rate that’s unlike just about anybody else in the sport. ‘Tank’ is going to show the power, velocità, and the athleticism that has made him one of the fastest rising young stars that we’ve seen in sport in some time. Oltre a ciò, it will be up to them, just like it’s been up to them for their entire lives.”

JUAN HERALDEZ TRAINING CAMP NOTES

“On October 31 everyone will see what I’m capable of," – Heraldez

Unbeaten Contender Juan Heraldez Faces Former World Champion Regis Prograis in SHOWTIME PPV® ActionSaturday, Ottobre 31 Live From the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas in an Event Presented by Premier Boxing Champions

NEW YORK – Ottobre 16, 2020 – Concorrente super leggero imbattuto Juan Heraldez is deep into training camp and shared insights into his preparations as he nears a showdown against former champion Regis "Rugaru" Prograis il Sabato, Ottobre 31 live on SHOWTIME PPV in a Premier Boxing Champions event headlined by Gervonta Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz live from Alamodome in San Antonio.

“It’s been a long eight-week camp preparing for Prograis,” said Heraldez. “We’re fighting a different style of fighter, which is a good thing because he’s the type of fighter who comes to fight. A style like this makes it easier for me to train and prepare.

“Prograis has power, but you have to land it and that’s where my defense comes into play. My defense has always been a factor and it’s something we always tweak and find ways for me to be sharper. On paper his credentials are up there, but in the ring all of that goes out the door. When the bell rings, I’m not thinking about him being a former world champion. I fight and get the job done.”

Heraldez has adapted to the changes produced by training during the pandemic, and has been able to keep focused throughout camp. He credits the infrastructure at the Mayweather Boxing Club, where he trains in Las Vegas, for helping keep things running smoothly as he prepares to face his toughest opponent to date.

“The pandemic has had a slight effect on camp like it has with everything else,” said Heraldez. “There are so many protocols and safety measures, so you can’t just rotate sparring partners as easily as you could before. Adjusting to wearing a mask in the gym and getting tested constantly are things you learn to get used to. The Mayweather Boxing Club has done a great job of keeping the gym clean and safe for all of us. A lot of my stablemates are here in Las Vegas preparing for big fights, so it’s a great feeling knowing that we can come to a gym where safety is the top priority.”

The unbeaten Heraldez will return to the ring after fighting former world champion Argenis Mendez to a draw in May 2019 su Showtime. Heraldez had put together an impressive string of victories dating back to a 2017 triumph over then-unbeaten Jose Miguel Borrego, and included a knockout win over Eddie Ramirez in February 2019 leading into the Mendez fight. Heraldez has continued to fine-tune his arsenal heading into the Prograis fight.

“My team and I have been working on various things such as my jab, but most importantly where I am in the ring at all times,” said Heraldez. “My ring awareness has elevated this camp. My coach and I keep things old school, we don’t have a strength and conditioning coach, we work on the basics and get better at them each camp. Boxing is simple. Stick and move and don’t get hit. The training I get from Coach Otis Pimpleton covers so many things such as cardio, tecnica, ring IQ, eccetera, so my job is just to listen to my team and trust them when I’m in camp and in the ring on fight night.”

While Heraldez is looking to improve on the draw in his last fight, Prograis will be seeking to bounce back from his first career defeat, a memorable 140-pound unification clash with Josh Taylor. With both fighters hungry for a win on October 31, Heraldez expects an exciting night for fans.

“On fight night, both of our styles are going to make for great action,” said Heraldez. “We both bring a lot to the ring. We’re both fighting to be the best, but on October 31, everyone will see what I’m capable of.”

NEW YORK – Ottobre 9, 2020 – Former world title challengerDiego Magdalenoshared insights into his training camp as he nears an IBF Lightweight Title Eliminator bout againstIsacco Cruzthat kicks off SHOWTIME PPV (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT) azione il Sabato, Ottobre 31 from the Alamodome in San Antonio in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
 
“This is my second fight working with ‘Bones’ Adams out of his gym in Las Vegas,” said Magdaleno. “I’ve actually known him since I was nine-years-old, so I consider him like my best friend. I trust him with my life. I’ve spent some time training for this fight in Scipio, Utah too, pulling hay bales and doing all sorts of interesting drills. I’ve gotten in some good sparring here in Vegas, and I even went out to California for some sparring, troppo.
 
“I was on one of the last fight cards pre-pandemic, and I’m honored to be on the first fight card with a live crowd since the pandemic began. It’s been a hectic year, but I’m happy with where things are for me heading into this fight. Coach Adams has been doing a great job with training, but he also handles my strength and conditioning. He’s got a huge gym with a lot of motivated fighters and it’s great to be around that kind of atmosphere. And my fiancé has been handling my nutrition for my last four fights. Così, it’s great to have her involved also.”
 
Magdaleno returns to action after upsetting Austin Dulay in Dulay’s hometown of Nashville, Tenn. nel mese di febbraio, dropping him in round seven on his way to a 10-round unanimous decision. He credits his team in training camp for the impressive performance against Dulay.
 
“I’ve always taken pride in being a professional, but I learned that I can be very dangerous with the right team around me,” said Magdaleno. “I went into that fight kind of being considered a steppingstone for Dulay, but I showed that I’m still a strong fighter. People counted me out and they made a mistake. I’m just super happy that I found Coach Adams and got a proper team organized around me. I was able to change people’s minds with just one fight. Now I’m in a title eliminator, and with a win on October 31, I’ll have my third shot at a world title.”
 
The 33-year-old has come up short in his most high-profile fights to date, dropping title bouts to Terry Flanagan and Roman Martinez, in addition to a 2019 loss against current lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez. With those experiences and an improved training structure around him, Magdaleno believes the lessons he’s taken from those fights will be instrumental going forward.
 
“The biggest thing that I’ve learned is to stay calm,” said Magdaleno. “When I start thinking too far ahead, that’s when things go wrong. Coach Adams has a great way of keeping me grounded and composed. He knows how to simplify things for me and communicate exactly what I need to do, which makes it less stressful for me. And we’ve done some other things, like correcting my footwork and the angles that I use.”
 
In the 22-year-old Cruz, Magdaleno will be opposed by a fast-rising and exciting Mexican fighter looking to make a mark in his biggest fight to date. With an 11-year age gap, Magdaleno plans to use his extensive experience to his advantage on October 31.
 
“Cruz is something I’ve seen before,” said Magdaleno. “I’ve fought lots of Mexican-style fighters like him who don’t have a lot of technical skill but possess a come-forward style. Così, I think I’ll be able to go back to what I know. I’ll just have to stay fluid and pick Cruz apart. He’s a guy who likes to fight on the inside and throw lots of overhand punches and hooks. I’ll break him down like I did my last opponent.”
 
Magdaleno will look to continue his career renaissance against Cruz and put himself back on track for another world title opportunity. With all that he’s been through during his career, Magdaleno remains highly motivated to prove critics wrong and achieve his goal of becoming a world champion.
 
“What I know is that when everyone counts you out, you just have to believe in yourself,” said Magdaleno. “When I decide to hang up the gloves, it’ll be because I want to, not because others say I should. I have my confidence back now and I’m very happy with where I’m going
. Being one shot away from the title that I dreamed of as a child is a huge motivating factor for me. And I fight for my family, troppo. I’m a different person now. I’m more mature and I think I’ll be able to prove that to people in this fight.”

TICKETS ON SALE MONDAY, Ottobre 5 AT 10 A.M. CT!

NEW YORK – Ottobre 2, 2020 – Tre volte campione del mondo Gervonta “Tank” Davis e campione del mondo in quattro divisioni Leo "The Earthquake" Santa Cruz will square off in a Halloween thriller for the WBA Super Featherweight and WBA Lightweight Championships live on SHOWTIME PPV Saturday, Ottobre 31 (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT) in un evento presentato dai Premier Boxing Champions dall'Alamodome di San Antonio, Texas. The four-fight pay-per-view card will be the first major boxing event with fans in attendance since COVID-19 forced a halt to U.S. sports in March.

The stacked undercard will feature unbeaten San Antonio native and WBA Super Lightweight Champion Mario "El Azteca" Barrios defending his title against hard-hitting Ryan “Cowboy” Karl in the co-main event and former super lightweight world champion Regis "Rugaru" Prograis will take on unbeaten contender Juan Heraldez in una resa dei conti di 10 round. In apertura trasmissione televisiva, lightweight contenders Isacco Cruz e Diego Magdaleno will battle in an IBF title eliminator bout.

The highly anticipated main event will be contested at 130-pounds and will be fought for both Santa Cruz’s 130-pound title and Davis’ 135-pound title, which they each won in their previous fight. Two crowd favorites with massive followings, Davis vs. Santa Cruz is an all-action style matchup, with Davis owning a .957 knockout rate, while Santa Cruz is long established as one of the busiest punchers and best pressure fighters in the sport.

Davis vs. Santa Cruz will be a rare clash in boxing history in which world titles in two weight classes will be at stake. Other notable instances in recent boxing history are the 1988 Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Donny Lalonde fight for the light heavyweight and super middleweight titles, e la 2014 Floyd Mayweather vs. Marcos Maidana rematch for the super welterweight and welterweight championships.

“I’m looking forward to showing the world how hard I’ve been working in camp,"Ha detto Davis. “We are just a few weeks away, and I’m already in great shape. Headlining on pay-per-view has always been a dream of mine since I started boxing. I can’t wait to put on a spectacular performance against multiple division world champion Leo Santa Cruz. Thank you to my team, ORARIO DELLO SPETTACOLO, Promozioni Mayweather, GTD Promotions, and all my fans worldwide. Keep supporting me and I’ll fight for you.”

“Ottobre 31 is going to be the biggest fight of my career,” ha detto Santa Cruz. “I’m going to fight a very tough opponent, maybe the toughest opponent of my career. Two titles are going to be on the line, and this will be my first time headlining a pay-per-view. So I’m going to do everything that I can to put on a good show. Davis is known for his power. But I think with my experience and ring IQ I can break him down. He’s probably going to be very aggressive in the early rounds. But if I do what I’m supposed to, and execute our game plan, I will win.’’

L'evento è promosso da Promozioni Mayweather, Promozioni TGB, Promozioni GTD e Santa Cruz Boxing Club.

“This fight between Gervonta Davis and Leo Santa Cruz is such a great fight that we had to have it with fans, which will be a first for a major boxing event since COVID-19 started,” said Floyd Mayweather, President of Mayweather Promotions and a 12-time, campione del mondo di cinque divisione. “Serbatoio’ Davis is a special talent, a super skilled fighter and I have been in the gym regularly to watch and help him prepare for a tough opponent in Santa Cruz, who we all know always comes in shape and ready to fight. It’s going to be a great night for Mayweather Promotions, for boxing and for sports. The best fighting the best is all we can ask for.”

“We continue with the tradition of offering boxing fans the best matchups in the hottest divisions, pitting the best versus the best,", Ha detto Stephen Espinoza, Presidente, Programmazione di eventi e sport, Showtime Networks Inc. “Tank Davis facing Leo Santa Cruz is one of the most exciting matchups of the year. You have a young, hungry star with devastating power in Davis and an experienced and absolutely relentless four-division champ looking to conquer a title in a fifth division. This is the type of matchup boxing fans have waited the entire year to watch. Two superstars in their toughest matchup to date battling for titles in two weight divisions at the same time.”

“Gervonta Davis is the most exciting fighter in the sport, and he’s set to headline his first pay-per-view card and set the world on fire,” said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO di promozioni Mayweather. “He’s up against an experienced, four-division world champion in Leo Santa Cruz, who is looking to take him down and hand him his first L on October 31.”

“Gervonta Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz is one of the best matchups that can be made in boxing, with each fighter in position to score a career-defining victory,"Ha detto Tom Brown, Presidente di Promotions TGB. “We’re excited to bring a historic showdown with world titles in two weight classes on the line to fans at the Alamodome. Davis vs. Santa Cruz presents a fascinating clash of styles, with Santa Cruz’s relentless pressure against Davis’ fight-changing power.

Davis (23-0, 22 KO) burst onto the scene with an explosive knockout victory over Jose Pedraza to win the IBF Junior Lightweight World Title in a star-making performance on SHOWTIME® nel mese di gennaio 2017. Al momento, he became the youngest world champion in boxing at age 22. Sul ring, Davis blends controlled aggression with blazing hand and foot speed, eye-catching power and sublime boxing skills. The dynamic combination of skills has made Davis a fan-favorite who filled arenas in Atlanta, Ga., and his hometown of Baltimore, Md., l'anno scorso.

The 25-year-old began his 2019 with a knockout of Hugo Ruiz in February, before scoring a second-round stoppage of Ricardo Núñez in his homecoming fight in July. Davis closed out the year by capturing his lightweight title via 12th round TKO of former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa in December. Davis also owns a title-winning performance in which he dominated former champion Jesus Cuellar to capture the WBA 130-pound belt in 2018. Under the guidance of Mayweather Promotions, Davis will look to further improve his impressive portfolio with another title-winning performance in his first pay-per-view main event.

Combattimento da Los Angeles, Santa Cruz (37-1-1, 19 KO) made his debut at super featherweight last November by defeating Miguel Flores to capture the WBA title. Santa Cruz has made his name in the sport by engaging in numerous Fight of the Year contenders, including two thrilling featherweight title duels against four-time champion Abner Mares and two-division champion Carl Frampton each. He lost his featherweight title in his first match against Frampton in 2016, but reclaimed it in their rematch the following year.

The 32-year-old has competed in title bouts in 17 del suo ultimo 19 combattimenti, while picking up belts at 118, 122, 126 and 130-pounds. The 130-pound title made Santa Cruz just the fifth fighter of Mexican descent to win titles in four weight classes, joining Oscar De La Hoya, Erik Morales, Jorge Arce and Mikey Garcia. Santa Cruz was introduced to the sport and trained throughout his career by his father Jose, along with his brothers Jose Armando, a former lightweight contender, e Antonio. Santa Cruz will look to become a five-division champion in his first pay-per-view headliner.

The 25-year-old Barrios (25-0, 16 KO) will be making the first defense of his world title in his hometown of San Antonio. Barrios captured his 140-pound title in his last fight in September 2019, earning a hard-fought unanimous decision over then-unbeaten Batyr Akhmedov, dropping him twice and fighting through a cut suffered on a head butt. Barrios trains in Oakland, Calif. under the guidance of renowned coach Virgil Hunter. The five-foot ten-inch Barrios debuted as a super bantamweight in 2013, eventually moving up to 140-pounds full time in 2017 where he is 8-0 con sette knockout.

“The long layoff is finally over and fans can expect to see me go to war with Ryan Karl, who I know is coming to bring an aggressive fight to the table,”Ha detto Barrios. “I’ve stayed in great shape during this past year, so now it’s time for me to keep giving boxing fans exciting fights. I’ll be representing my city of San Antonio and as always, everyone can expect to see me as explosive as ever. Ottobre 31, all the fans watching on pay-per-view will watch me make a statement as I defend my title.”

Born in Milano, Texas and now trained in Houston under the tutelage of top trainer Ronnie Shields, Karl (18-2, 11 KO) will step in for his first title opportunity on October 31. The 28-year-old enters this fight on a three-bout winning streak, with all three wins coming in 2019, including a knockout of Kevin Watts to avenge one of his losses in an immediate rematch. Karl also owns victories over Kareem Martin and then-unbeaten Jose Felix Quezada during his pro career that dates back to 2014.

“I’ve been training for this my whole life and I’m not going to let it slip away,” said Karl. “We’re working hard in training camp to put on the best performance of my career. We know what we’re up against in Mario Barrios, but I’ve come too far not to take full advantage of this opportunity on October 31.”

A staple of the 140-pound elite, PROGRAMMI (24-1, 20 KO) returns to the ring after losing his title in an exciting unification clash via majority decision last October against Josh Taylor. The 31-year-old won his title by defeating Kiryl Relikh by TKO in April 2019 and has also earned stoppage victories over former unified champion Julius Indongo, and then-unbeaten contenders Joel Diaz Jr. and Juan Jose Velasco. Prograis was born in New Orleans but lives and fights out of Houston.

“This is a huge fight and I’m very thankful to PBC for giving me this opportunity,"Ha dichiarato Prograis. “I haven’t fought in a year and since then I’ve done a lot of self-reflection and moved from L.A. back to Texas. I’m more focused than I’ve ever been and I can’t wait to get back to my number one spot in the super lightweight division. I have to be a world champion again and I won’t stop until that happens.”

The 30-year-old Heraldez (16-0-1, 10 KO) can vault himself into the top tier of 140-pound contenders with a career-best victory over Prograis on October 31. Born in Northridge, Cal. and training out of the Mayweather Promotions gym in Las Vegas, Heraldez most recently fought to a majority draw last May against former champion Argenis Mendez. Heraldez’s pro career has also seen him score victories over previously unbeaten Jose Miguel Borrego and tough contender Eddie Ramirez.

“It’s been a crazy year, but I took this opportunity to spend time with my family and sharpen my skills inside the ring,” said Heraldez. “There’s been a lot of great sparring happening at the Mayweather Boxing Club that I’ve taken advantage of. I have a tough opponent in front of me, and that’s my only focus right now. I trust in my ability as a fighter and I trust my team to get me over the finish line with a victory on October 31. I’m thankful to Mayweather Promotions for putting me on such a large platform for this fight.”

Fighting out of his native Mexico City, Messico, Croce (19-1-1, 14 KO) is unbeaten in his last 15 fights since dropping his sixth pro fight by decision. The 22-year-old knocked out 10-of-13 opponents between 2016 e 2018, before making his U.S. debutto a dicembre 2019. That contest saw Cruz earn a unanimous decision over Miguel Perez, which he followed up in February of this year by defeating Thomas Mattice by decision on ShoBox: La nuova generazione.

“Since I started boxing, it has been my dream to fight on this stage in the United States,", Ha detto Cruz. “I know that Diego Magdaleno is a very tough and experienced fighter, but it’s my time on October 31. The fans will see that I have what it takes to be world champion when I beat Magdaleno and announce myself as one of the best lightweights in the world.”

Magdaleno (32-3, 13 KO) enters this fight coming off of an impressive victory over contender Austin Dulay in February that saw him drop Dulay on his way to a unanimous decision. The 33-year-old has challenged Roman Martinez for a 130-pound title and Terry Flanagan for a lightweight crown, while also battling lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez in February 2019. A Las Vegas native, Magdaleno has won four-of-five fights entering October 31, including a 10-round decision over Artyom Hovhannisyan.

“I’ve been super eager to get back into the ring since my last performance,” said Magdaleno. “That win sparked a fire in me and got me as motivated as I’ve ever been. Now that I’m in a title eliminator, I’m even more excited to return to action. I’m facing another young lion, but he’s lacking the experience that I have. Training with Bones Adams has made a world of difference in my career. I’ve made a transition to being more composed and smarter in the ring. I’m here to make a statement and claim what’s mine. I’m never going to back down until I get that world title.”

Plant dominated mandatory challenger Vincent Feigenbutz (31-3, 28 KO) Germania, Segnare un 10th-round TKO Saturday night in the FOX PBC Fight Night main event and on FOX Deportes from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.

Impianto, who grew up in neighboring Ashland City, successfully made the second defense of the world title he won in January 2019 with a thrilling 12-round unanimous decision over then-titlist Jose Uzcategui. “dolci mani” lived up to his moniker, breaking down Germany’s Feigenbutz before putting him away.

“I was super fueled by the crowd tonight,” Plant said. “I could have gone all night. The whole city came out. Nashville stand up!”

Plant gave them plenty to cheer about from the opening bell, landing his jab up and downstairs. The aggressive Feigenbutz, 24, struggled to land anything in return.

Plant began landing the combinations in the third, bringing the crowd to his feet with a series of well-placed volleys.

Those shots slowly took their toll, but Feigenbutz was game. He came alive in the sixth, pinning Plant against the ropes and unloading his own combinations. Plant covered up and shook his head as if unbothered.

Plant pounded Feigenbutz in the seventh and eighth, opening up a cut on his nose and swelling his right eye. The challenger absorbed more punishment in the ninth, causing the ringside doctor to take a hard look at him in between rounds.

The end came swiftly in the 10th as Plant, sensing his foe was weakening, pounded away until referee Malik Waleed mercifully stepped in. The official time of the stoppage was 2:23 of the 10th.

Watch the stoppage in Round 10 QUI.

“I felt great out there,” detto impianto. “I was relaxed and sharp. I told you I was going to stop this before the 12th round. I want to dedicate this to my daughter, to my mother, my grandfather and the whole city of Nashville.”

The champion also stated his desire to unify versus unbeaten WBC counterpart and rival, David Benavidez.

“Everyone knows I want that unification fight with David Benavidez,” Plant stated. “You know who the best 168-pounder is. If you want that, you’ve got to come see me. I want that fight; I’ve been asking for it and I’m tired of waiting!”

In caso di co-main, Abel Ramos scored a stunning last second TKO victory overBryant Perrella in a scheduled 10-round welterweight match. Heading into the 10thand final round Ramos was told by his cornermen that he needed a knockout to win. Ramos (26-3-2, 20 KO) delivered, badly hurting and dropping Perrella twice in the waning seconds of the frame, prompting referee Jack Reiss to wave the welterweight co-main event off with just one second remaining.

“I know the fight’s not over until it’s over,” disse Ramos. “That’s the game. I’ve been sick for two weeks. But no excuses. I wanted to come here and perform.

“I watched the Chavez-Taylor fight like 10 million times and I never thought I’d be in something like that. It just goes to prove that fights are never over till it’s over. You have to fight every single second of every single round.”

Watch Ramos stun Perrella at the end of Round 10 QUI.

Perrella (17-3, 14 KO) was up on all three cards at the time of the stoppage; 87-84 and two scores of 88-83.

“Questa è la boxe. It’s like Meldrick Taylor and Chavez,” Detto Perrella, agreeing with Ramos’ comments. “These things just happen. I’m not going to take anything away from my opponent. I was winning every round convincingly. Cosa posso dire? There was second left in the 10th round. It’s like a needle in the haystack. It is what it is.”

Southpaw Perrella controlled much of the action, using side to side movement, angles and rapid-fire combinations to stifle Ramos’ offesa. A left hook in the third briefly buckled Ramos. Another in the fifth stunned him.

“Perrella’s a tough fighter,” disse Ramos. “He’s a strong, strong fighter. Non ho nulla ma il rispetto per lui. I expected a tough fight and that’s what happened.”

Ramos never stopped coming forward, picking up the pace as Perrella slowed down. Con 34 seconds remaining in the 10th, Ramos landed a perfect left uppercut flush on the chin. Perrella sank to the mat, getting up on unsteady legs. Ramos pounced once action resumed, unloading until a straight right drove Perrella to the floor again. Di nuovo, he made it to his feet but couldn’t walk straight without stumbling. Reiss immediately waved it off at 2:59.

“Everything was going well, and I was winning the fight, round by round,” Detto Perrella. “Non lo so. Questa è la boxe. That’s the thing about the sport. È quello che è. There’s nothing I can do about it. I’m not going to make up any excuses or take anything away from my opponent. It’s just an experience that you go through in life and you have to overcome it. Absolutely I’d like to do it again with him. We can get a rematch in for sure.”

“I want all the welterweights,” Ramos exclaimed. “I’d like to have another big TV fight and go out there and prove myself.”

The FOX PBC Fight Night opener featured a back-and-forth battle between lightweightsAustin Dulay e Diego Magdaleno. Magdaleno produced one of the finest performances of his career, dropping Dulay on his way to a 10-round unanimous decision victory in a minor upset.

The 33-year-old Magdaleno (32-3, 13 KO) was simply busier, particularly down the stretch in this battle of southpaws.

“I knew mentally I could break him down,” said Magdaleno. “If I attacked the body, I knew I could break him down. He’s a young prospect. He’s taller than me so my plan of attack was to get in close and go to the body.”

Dulay disagreed with the decision. “I boxed the hell out of him every round, making him miss, catching shots, countering. Sì, he hit me with a few good body shots. That doesn’t replace the heavy shots that I hit him with every single round for 10 rounds straight. That is madness. And it was a unanimous decision? That’s crazy. That’s unbelievable to me.

“Even Diego just told me that he had nothing to do with the decision. He knows. How can they do that to me in my hometown? That’s dirty man.”

Fighting in front of his fellow Nashville residents, Dulay (13-2, 10 KO) started fast, landing several clean lefts in the second. Magdaleno never stopped coming forward, working behind the jab and landing to Dulay’s body.

Watch early round action between Austin Dulay and Diego Magdaleno QUI eQUI.

Some of those shots strayed low which elicited warnings from referee Jack Reiss. Tuttavia, the work paid off as Dulay’s output dropped over the course of the bout. The sixth featured some of the best exchanges of the bout. Magdaleno got the better of those, landing a right to the ribs followed by one upstairs.

Magdaleno continued to press the attack in the seventh, scoring the fight’s only knockdown with a hard left hook to the solar plexus.

Watch Magdaleno score a knockdown vs Dulay in Round 7 QUI.

Once action resumed, Magdaleno pounded at his ribs until a left hook strayed low and dropped Magdaleno, causing Reiss to deduct a point.

“Every round he was hitting me low and, in the back, and on the hips,” disse Dulay.
“It was more times than he got called for. I won that fight 100%.”

Sensing the fight slipping away, Dulay picked up the pace over the last three rounds. It wasn’t enough to overcome Magdaleno’s work rate, which earned him a win by scores of 97-91, 96-92 e 96-92.

“Experience has everything going for me. In my previous fight, I lost my head,” said Magdaleno. “This time I took my time. My camp said slow it down. Happy for the victory tonight.”

On the non-televised undercard, former world bantamweight champion Rau’Shee “Nuke” Conigliera (17-3, 4 KO) ended a 13-month layoff with a wide 10-round unanimous decision over Gilberto Mendoza (15-8-3, 7 KO).

The 33-year-old Warren used his fast hands to land an assortment of shots from his lefty stance. In the fourth, a clash of heads opened a cut over the left eye of Mexico’s Mendoza. Warren sought to close the show, but Mendoza was game, firing back though outgunned.

Two judges scored it 99-91 and the third judge had it 100-90.

“It felt good to get back in there after being off for a year,” Warren said. “I didn’t feel like a rookie. I felt like I had to get a little rust off me. But I think I got most of the rust off when I was in the gym training. Going 10 rounds it felt good.”

“I hope to get back in May,” said Warren. “I only need 90 giorni. I’ve already had my long layoff since last January when I fought on Pacquiao and Adrien’s card. I’m ready to get it on. I’m ready to move on. The only thing he did that I didn’t expect him to do was stay up.”

The event was promoted by Sweethands Promotions, TGB Promotions and Sauerland Promotions.

Ashland, Tennessee’s Plant will bring world championship boxing back to Nashville and fight for the first time as a professional in his home state. Here is what the press conference participants had to say Wednesday at Bridgestone Arena:

CALEB IMPIANTO

“It’s great to be back in my hometown and my home city. I’m even more excited to be bringing home a world title and to defend it February 15 at Bridgestone Arena. It’s been a dream of mine since as long as I could remember. Since I was a little kid.

“I’m working harder than ever to make sure that I have my hand raised on February 15. I’m looking to do it in spectacular fashion, before the 12th round. This fight is going to end in a knockout on my behalf. I want everyone who’s going to be in the building and tuned in to know that this world title is staying right here in Tennessee.

“My dad and I have been going at this for 18 anni di fila, non-stop. Having this fight has been a dream that I’ve sacrificed a lot for. It’s a dream that on February 15, it won’t be spoiled.

“It was a goal to become world champion, but it wasn’t the only goal. I think people tend to forget I only have 19 combattimenti. I feel like I just made it to the base of the mountain. Some people when they become champion, they feel like they become the hunted, but that’s not the case with me. I’m still hungry. If you’re in my way, I suggest you get out of it. Because I won’t miss you.

“I’ve heard Feigenbutz is strong and physical and he thinks he’s going to come in and knock me out. Mike Lee thought he was going to knock me out and Jose Uzcategui said he was going to knock me out, but how’d that go for them?

“Alla fine della giornata, boxing is hit and do not get hit. I have plenty of skills to spare. Nel febbraio 15, I’m not playing with this guy.

“All of these guys think they’re going to walk me down and throw more punches than me. But I throw more and land more punches than them. If he thinks he’s going to come in here and spoil my plans, I promise you that he’s got another thing coming.”

BRYANT PERRELLA

“I’m grateful to be here today and blessed to have the opportunity to showcase who I am as a fighter. I’m a fighter who’s built on quality over quantity. Nothing has been given to me. I’ve faced nothing but excellent opposition to this point.

“I eat, sleep and breathe boxing. I’m ready for this. I’m a fast, strong and tall fighter, with a high boxing IQ. Febbraio 15 I’m coming to dominate. Operation Abel will be unable.

“I have Ramos outmatched at every category and I’m going to dominate. I’m starting hit my stride as a fighter. Everything is coming together mentally and I have an amazing team working with me now. We’re just grinding every day and putting it all together to work towards our ultimate goal.”

AUSTIN DULAY

“I’m really thankful to my whole team for making this fight happen and especially to Caleb for paving the way for a fight in Nashville. We’ve been training really hard and we’re training even harder for this fight to put on a show in my hometown.

I know my opponent is going to come ready, we know what he’s coming to do. Sono eccitato per questo. I’m going to be ready for anything he brings.

“Non vedo l'ora di questa lotta, put on a great performance and come back to Nashville again in the future for more big fights.”

JUSTIN GAMBER, Plant’s Co-Trainer

“We are thrilled to come back to Nashville for this fight. It’s going to be Caleb’s first pro fight in Nashville, and from the moment that we heard first about this, we’ve been really excited.

“He’s had an incredible training camp as always. He’s been looking really sharp. Expect an explosive, powerful and better version of ‘Sweethands’ than you’ve seen yet. Caleb is always improving and always getting better. He’s taking it to another level.

“I’ve seen Caleb fight as an amateur in Nashville, but to be a part of him doing it in the pros, it’s so special for me. Just know that he’s going to put on a show. Skills pay the bills and he’s got all the skills.”

RICHIE PLANT, Plant’s Father & Co-Trainer

“We’re so glad to be here in this position. As soon as we heard that this was going to be a reality, we were just overjoyed.

“We started here about 18 years ago in boxing. Over the years we’ve grown, and now we have this amazing boxing team, one that I feel is the best in boxing. We’re just getting started. We’re excited to put on a show for our hometown and we’ll see everyone here on February 15.”
