BROOKLYN (Oktober 25, 2018) – Twin brothers and world champions Jermall Charlo og Jermell Charlo will kick off the new season of Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes live in primetime on Saturday, Desember 22 ved Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™. The Charlos are two of the hottest young rising stars in boxing today and they made history in 2016 when they became the first twin boxers to ever hold titles simultaneously in the same weight class.

 

 

 

Jermall Charlo will defend his WBC interim middleweight title against top-rated contender Willie Monroe, Jr., while Jermell Charlo makes the fourth defense of his WBC super welterweight championship against hard-hitting former title challenger Tony Harrison. Jermall’s fight will serve as the main event of the show after he won the coin toss at today’s press conference to determine which Charlo twin will close the show.

 

 

 

The exciting night of action will also see WBC mandatory challenger and 2012 US-. Olympian Dominic “Trouble” Breazeale kamp Carlos Negron, a member of the Puerto Rican boxing team at the 2008 Bejing Olympics, in a 10-round heavyweight attraction that opens the FOX and FOX Deportes broadcast at 8 pm. ET / 5 p.m. PT.

“The Charlo twins at the top of a boxing card always brings excitement and entertainment,” sa Tom Brown, President av TGB Kampanjer. “In recent memory there haven’t been any twin world champion boxers to have the ring presence of the Charlos. Jermall will be tested by the slick southpaw skills of Willie Monroe, Jr. and Jermell will face a tough challenge from Tony Harrison, who also has his eye on winning a world championship. Heavyweight Dominic Breazeale is a throw-back battler who is never out of any fight, but he’ll have his hands full against Carlos Negron, who has an Olympic pedigree. It’s going to be a special night for those at Barclays Center and those tuning into the primetime broadcast on FOX and FOX Deportes.”

 

 

 

“FOX Sports is excited to be kicking off this new deal with the PBC on Saturday, Desember 22 with these exceptional fights,” said Mark Silverman, President, National Networks, FOX Sports. “Over the next four years, we’re looking forward to highlighting the PBC’s stellar lineup of boxers and telling their amazing stories.”

 

 

 

“It’s fitting for Barclays Center to close out its strong year of BROOKLYN BOXING programming with a major fight night televised in primetime on FOX,” sa Brett Yormark, CEO of BSE Global. “As a twin myself, I understand how special it is to achieve career milestones alongside your brother, and I am looking forward to seeing Jermell and Jermall bring their unique brand of excitement to boxing fans in Brooklyn. With the inclusion of a top heavyweight bout in Breazeale vs. Negron, the card will deliver on the BROOKLYN BOXING guarantee of competitive matchups, med 50/50 fights and the sport’s best personalities.”

 

 

 

This will be the third fight for each Charlo twin at Barclays Center, as they enter December 22 a combined 4-0 with four knockouts at the venue.

 

 

 

The 28-year-old Jermall Charlo (27-0, 21 KOs) is one-minute older than his identical twin brother and won his first world title a year earlier than Jermell when he scored a devastating third round knockout of Cornelius Bundrage to win the IBF 154-pound title in 2015. Born in Richmond, Texas and growing up in Houston with Jermell, Jermall still trains in Houston with renowned coach Ronnie Shields. He successfully defended his 154-pound title three times, including a devastating knockout of top contender Julian Williams, before moving up in weight to campaign at middleweight.

 

 

 

Jermall proved to be just as dominant at 160 pounds as he was at 154 pounds when he made his middleweight debut by stopping Jorge Sebastian Heiland in the fourth round of their July 2017 end. Jermall became the interim WBC middleweight champion with a second round knockout victory over Hugo Centeno, Jr. in his last fight on March 3.

 

 

 

“I’m very excited and the fire is lit to be back in Brooklyn,” said Jermall Charlo. “It’s great to be headlining a big show with my twin brother in Brooklyn. It’s going to be an exciting night of boxing. Willie Monroe is one of those fighters that will get me to the level I need to for all those great fights. And believe me, we’ll get them. This is a fight that he’s been asking for and it makes it special to know he’s keying in on me. Everybody knows what I come for. Jeg kommer til å slå ham ut. I’m going to be as explosive as I can and close the show. The journey begins now in Brooklyn.”

 

 

 

The 31-year-old Willie Monroe, Jr. (23-3. 6 KOs) has shown the skills to compete at the elite level, but the slick southpaw will face a tough challenge when he goes up against the hard-hitting Charlo. Fighting out of Rochester, N.Y., Monroe will be fighting for the second time in his career at Barclays Center after he scored a unanimous decision over Carlos Galvan on March 3. He followed that up by beating Javier Francisco Maciel by unanimous decision on Aug. 24 and has faced top middleweights Gennady Golovkin and Billy Joe Saunders throughout his career.

 

 

 

“I’ve been in this position before and it won’t faze me on December 22,” said Monroe. “This is my third shot at a title, I’m the third Willie Monroe from my family in the line, and having already fought twice for the title, I know that the third time is going to be the charm. There’s a job to be done and nothing about it will be easy. Jermall Charlo is right up there with my past opponents Gennady Golovkin and Billy Joe Saunders, so it’s another tough outing. But it’s definitely a challenge that I’m up for and a challenge that I think I can conquer.”

 

 

 

Jermell Charlo (31-0, 15 KOs) joined his brother as a 154-pound world champion when he scored an eighth-round knockout over John Jackson in 2016 on the same night his brother defended his own 154-pound title. The 28-year-old had previously had previously picked up wins over Vanes Martirosyan, Joachim Alcine and Gabriel Rosado before securing the world title opportunity. The world title fight against Jackson was also Jermell’s first fight training in Dallas with Derrick James, where he will be training for this fight.

 

 

 

Since earning the title, Jermell has successfully defended three times, He delivered sensational highlights-reel knockouts of Charles Hatley and Erickson Lubin in 2017 before putting Austin Trout on the canvas three times in June on his way to a decision victory. This fight represents Charlo’s opportunity to tighten his grip on the 154-pound division.

 

 

 

“This is a super fight for me, bigger than any fight, because I get to be on a big show with my brother and we get to showcase our talents together,” said Jermell Charlo. “On December 22, there’s nothing on after us. After we fight the fans go home and we’ll have put on a great show. I’m working with my trainer Derrick James and we’re getting ready to be built up and not just for Tony Harrison. We’re trying to unify. We’re coming for everybody in the division. I’m super stoked to be with my brother and opening this first show on the new deal between PBC and FOX.”

 

 

 

The 28-year-old Harrison (27-2, 21 KOs) is a top contender in the 154-pound division who looks to make the most of his second shot a world title. Fighting ut av Detroit, Harrison has strung together three straight victories since losing to unified 154-pound champion Jarrett Hurd in 2017 på FOX. Harrison’s most recent performance saw him pick up a decision victory over former world champion Ishe Smith in Smith’s hometown of Las Vegas. Harrison owns knockout victories over Sergei Rabchenko and Fernando Guerrero and hopes to emerge with a world title in his toughest test since facing Hurd.

 

 

 

“Based on my last performance against Ishe Smith, I feel like I’ve earned this opportunity,” Said Harrison. “Jermell Charlo is a terrific fighter. I like his attitude toward the sport and his skills in the ring, and I expect to face him at his best. But that just gets my competitive juices flowing. It’s going to be skill-for-skill, and there will be a lot of back-and-forth rounds from round one on. It’s going come down to who is best at sticking to their game plan. It’s hard to get opportunities in this division so I’m going to go in there and leave it in the ring and make it an exciting fight.”

 

 

 

Et medlem av 2012 US-. Olympic team at the London games, Breazeale (19-1, 17 KOs) has fought his way into the mandatory contender’s slot in the WBC rankings with impressive knockout victories in his last two fights. After losing a heavyweight title fight against Anthony Joshua in 2016, the 33-year-old knocked out then unbeaten Izu Ugonoh in a February 2017 war before stopping former title challenger Eric Molina in November that year. The Glendale, California-native also owns victories over Amir Mansour, Fred Kassi and Yasmany Consuegra.

 

 

 

“This will my first time back at the Barclays Center in the 13 months since I beat Eric Molina and I’m excited to show the fans that I’m here to stay,” Said Breazeale. “Carlos Negron is a big guy and a fellow Olympian. I want to show that I don’t have any ring rust. I’ve been out of the ring, but I’ve lived in the gym and I can box, press the pedal to the metal and get the knockout when the opportunity arises.”

 

 

 

Fighting out of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Negron (20-1, 16 KOs) won his first 13 pro fights after turning pro in 2009 following his stint at the 2008 Olympiske leker. The 30-year-old has won seven straight fights by knockout including a December 2016 stoppage of then unbeaten Cristian Galvez and a dominant performance in June 2017 where he dropped Derric Rossy twice on his way to the TKO victory.

 

 

 

“I’m thankful to have this opportunity and for my team that always been there for me,” said Negron. “Anyone who knows this sport knows how hard a task it is and I’m working hard every day to win this fight. When I was offered Breazeale I said yes right away. I want to be the first born and raised Puerto Rican heavyweight champion and on December 22 I will fight with honor, heart and pride. I’m going to announce a new heavyweight in the mix.”

Porter spoke from his training camp in Las Vegas, while Granados shared his thoughts from camp in Chicago, just over a week before they go toe-to-toe in Brooklyn:
SHAWN PORTER
“Training camp has gone very well. We did most of our work here in Las Vegas and also a little bit at Wild Card in California. We’re at the tail end of camp now. Every day is going to be exciting as we taper off and get ready for November 4.
“I feel very familiar with Granados at this point. One night I watched about three or four of his fights and some interviews and really got to put him in my mind. He’s an aggressive fighter who’s not easily hurt or fazed by what’s going on in the ring. Whether that’s him getting hit or an opponent making him miss.
“This is going to be a very competitive fight. The key to beating him will be my speed. I have to out box him, make him walk into some heavy shots and eventually knock him out.
“I love Las Vegas but I’m always very excited to get the opportunity to fight at Barclays Center. It’s a genuinely fun arena. The energy there is bar-none. I absolutely love being able to entertain crowds out there in Brooklyn.
“We’re going after the WBC title. We’re going to have our sights set on Keith Thurman. I want to get that rematch sometime next year. Outside of that, the only fighter on my mind is Danny Garcia, because he’s a guy who I think I’d make an exciting fight with.”
ADRIAN GRANADOS
“I know I have a fan-friendly style and I make my opponent fight regardless if he bangs or boxes. Bringing exciting fights is what I’m known for to the fans and media. It’s going to be the fight of the night.
“It was a surprise when I got the call for this fight but I jumped right at the opportunity to get in the ring with Shawn Porter. He had a close fight with Keith Thurman and a win over Adrien Broner so a victory over him puts me right back at the top of the division.
“Shawn fought at 165 i amatørene, much bigger than me and I remember him well, he was also a football player so he was much heavier. Since he turned pro I’ve spent more time watching his fights and studying him, especially these last few weeks knowing that we’re fighting each other at 147.
“It’s better for me to know right from the start the weight is at 147, the previous camp for Broner we started at 142 and then had to move to 147 very late in the camp. Knowing it’s been 147 from the start has helped me to better prepare for this fight with Shawn Porter. It will also help me to come in a little heavier on fight night.
“Training and sparring has all been here in Chicago at the Garfield Park Gym. Camp has been terrific, very smooth especially with no weight issues.
“I’m very excited to be fighting at Barclays Center and I know that this is more of a neutral site. I know that Shawn’s the favorite but I feel good about fighting in Brooklyn. I’ve been to Barclays Center twice to watch fights and I’m excited to be fighting thereneste lørdag natt.
“Hvis jeg vinner, I’ll be the mandatory for Keith Thurman’s WBC belt and that’s my motivation. Expect a classic ‘El Tigre’ performance, no back down, no quit, a classic boxing match.”

På Oktober. 28 unified heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua will meet Kubrat Pulev for Joshua’s IBF and WBA world titles in the main event of a fight card from Cardiff, Wales.
After Wilder vs. Stiverne I, Stiverne was hospitalized at University Medical Center in Las Vegas for severe dehydration and muscle damage, which he claimed affected his performance in his first title defense. Stiverne bounced back with a win over Derric Rossy and has been advocating for a rematch since.
“Stiverne asked for it, so he’s going to get it,” Wilder said. “Whatever happens happens. Ask and you shall receive. I’m relieved to be getting my mandatory out of the way. At least now I won’t have to deal with that down the road.
“In the first fight, I broke my hand in the third round, and I still dominated. That was a lot of the reason why it went the distance. This time it’s a different day, different time and different fight. This time it won’t end well for him.
“Despite all of these obstacles that are thrown in my path, it still will not stop me from reaching my ultimate goal, which is to be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.”
Stiverne replaces Luis Ortiz, who was pulled from the fight by the WBC onsdag after he failed a VADA anti-doping test.
“Stiverne will pay for Luis Ortiz screwing up,” Wilder concluded.
Stiverne was in camp preparing to fight Dominic Breazeale in a heavyweight attraction on the November. 4 undercard. Now the Haitian-born Las Vegas resident gets a shot at winning back the heavyweight crown he first won with a knockout of Chris Arreola in 2014.
“Jeg er klar, willing and able to seize back my title from Wilder,” Stiverne Dirita. “We all know that Wilder dodged a bullet in the first fight, men ikke denne gangen. It was my fault, but I learn from my mistakes. På November 4, Wilder will feel my pain.”
After defeating Stiverne, Wilder went on to knockout each of his next five challengers including twice as the headliner on SHOWTIME. Wilder-Stiverne II will be the 10th heavyweight world championship fight to air live on SHOWTIME in the last two years as the heavyweight division continues its resurgence.
“The show must go on, som de sier, and Deontay Wilder still plans to put on a show for New York City,” sa Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment and promoter of the stacked November. 4 begivenhet. “Considering Stiverne’s status as mandatory challenger, he was always going to be a roadblock in Deontay’s quest for heavyweight unification. Now it’s time to see if Deontay can clear that roadblock and continue on his path to becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion and the most recognizable and dominant force in boxing.”

Porter won the welterweight title in his debut at the arena with a unanimous decision over Devon Alexander on Dec. 7, 2013. He lost a narrow decision to unified welterweight champion Keith Thurman in a 2016 Fight of the Year candidate in Brooklyn, and scored a TKO victory against former welterweight champion Andre Berto in his last fight on April 22 in front of the Barclays Center faithful.
The 29-year-old Porter (27-2-1, 17 KOs), who was born in Akron, Ohio and now lives in Las Vegas, remains one of the top welterweights in the division and aims to secure another title shot with a strong performance against Granados.
“To be fighting on an undercard for a Deontay Wilder fight is nothing short of excellent,” Said Porter. “I’m excited and looking forward to this opportunity. Against Granados I’m getting into the ring with someone who is very established as an amateur and a professional, has great skills and isn’t going to go in there and lay down. That’s always going to bring out the best in me, and that’s always going to create a very exciting match-up. I know that when I do what I’m planning to do, it’s going to be exciting, entertaining and fill the seats.”
Adrian Granados (18-5-2, 12 KOs), Chicago, is accustomed to tough assignments and is known for delivering exciting toe-to-toe action. The 28-year-old has been in with Felix Diaz, losing a close majority decision in 2014, and then unbeaten Amir Imam, whom he defeated by TKO in 2015 when Imam was the top contender at 140-pounds. Granados went punch for punch with Adrien Broner in his last match, but came up just short, losing a split decision in Broner’s hometown of Cincinnati on Februar. 18.
“I’m very excited to be fighting one of the best welterweights in the world in Shawn Porter,” said Granados. “With our styles it’s going to be fireworks from the opening bell. I was getting ready for a fight in October but when this opportunity arose I jumped at it. It’s a tremendous card to be fighting on with the whole world watching and I’m looking to
put on a great performance.”
The 28-year-old Sergey Lipinets (12-0, 10 KOs) is a former kickboxer from Russia who has been waiting nearly a year for his opportunity to fight for a world championship. Lipinets has only been the distance twice in his pro career and he earned his title shot with an eighth-round knockout of Lenny Zappavigna in a title eliminator last December. I sin siste start, Lipinets stopped Clarence Booth via third-round TKO in March at Barclays Center.
“I feel very privileged to be in the position to fight for this world title,” said Lipinets. “I will prepare to face the best possible fighter on that night and I promise that I will not disappoint. The lights will be bright but I have trained too hard not to leave the ring as a world champion.”
Akihiro Kondo (29-6-1, 16 KOs) will be making his U.S. debut and fighting for a world championship for the first time when he meets Lipinets for the 140-pound title. The 32-year-old Kondo, of Kazo, Saitama, Japan, has won eight straight matches, including five by stoppage. This will be his third fight this year after he stopped Komsan Polsan in March and defeated Yuya Okazaki by TKO in May.
Former world champion Bermane Stiverne (25-2-1, 21 KOs) is coming off a two-year absence from the ring. Stiverne, 38, became the first Haitian-born boxer to win the heavyweight title when he defeated Chris Arreola in May of 2014. He lost the title to Wilder by decision on January of 2015 i Las Vegas. In his last fight Stiverne, who moved from Canada and now resides in Las Vegas, Nev., defeated Derric Rossy via decision.
The 32-year-old Dominic Breazeale (18-1, 16 KOs) var medlem av den 2012 US-. Olympic boxing team and won his first 17 pro fights before suffering the only loss of his career when he fell short vying for a title against now-unified champion Anthony Joshua in June of 2016. In his last match, the fighter from of Alhambra, Calif. scored a fifth-round TKO victory over Polish heavyweight contender Izu Ugonoh on Februar. 25 in a memorable slugfest.

(Bilder vil være tilgjengelig snart)
BIRMINGHAM, AL. (Februar 25, 2017) – Ubeseiret stigende prospekt Caleb Plant (15-0, 10 KOs) scoret en enstemmig avgjørelse (100-89, 100-89, 99-90) seier over en erfaren Thomas Awimbono (25-7-1, 21 KOs) i hovedturneringen av Premier Boxing Champions på FS1 og FOX Deportes fra Legacy Arena i Birmingham, AL.
I TV-opener, Tugstsogt Nyambayar (8-0, 7 KOs) gikk seirende ut med en hardt kjempet 10thrund teknisk knockout over Jhon Gemino (15-8-1, 7 KOs).
Her er hva krigerne hadde å si etter deres kamp:
CALEB ANLEGG
“I kveld handlet det om å holde seg kontrollert. Jeg ønsket ikke å dra ut der og tvinge noe. Jeg ville bare slappe av og bosette meg bak ryggen min, bruk mine besvimelser, og bare ta bildene som var der for meg.
“Jeg håper at en seier som dette åpner noen dører for meg. Den 168 lbs divisjon er i baklommen. Jeg tar det bare en kamp om gangen, så når vi målet vårt.
“Å gå distansen for å vinne en erfaren jagerfly som Awimbono viser mye om potensialet mitt. Han har vært der inne med noen flotte krigere, men jeg kjempet kampen og fikk seieren.
“Jeg droppet ham tidlig med et sus, men det er vanskelig mot en fyr som ikke vil engasjere seg. Du må ta det de gir deg. Ellers risikerer jeg å gå inn for aggressivt og bli fanget av vakt, som jeg ikke kan tillate. Jeg må være tålmodig og finne flekkene mine.
“Jeg håper på større kamper hver gang. Vi vil ikke ha noe mykt. Jeg har prøvd å få kamper med noen topputsikter, gutter med noen mindre titler, men de vil ikke ta kampen. Jeg kan ikke la det plage meg skjønt, fordi jeg vet at jeg er en høy risiko for disse gutta. Det kan være tidlig i karrieren min, men jeg kan gjøre justeringene og gjøre alt.”
TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYAR
“Det betydde mye å få en sånn seier mot en robust fighter på kort varsel.
“Vi lette etter en knockout mye tidligere, men Gemino var veldig tøff i kveld. Han viste mye hjerte, men heldigvis fikk vi seieren.
“Selv om dette var en tyngre vekt enn jeg er vant til å kjempe mot, Jeg hadde ikke noe problem med å håndtere størrelsen hans.
“Å kjempe på et kort som dette på FS1 og FOX Deportes betyr verden for meg. Dette var en stor mulighet til å vise frem ferdighetene mine.
“Jeg vil ha noen de legger foran meg neste gang. Jeg møter hvem som helst.”
JHON PAR
“Jeg prøver ikke å finne unnskyldninger, men vi tok denne kampen på veldig kort varsel. Jeg er veldig frustrert over opptredenen min i kveld.
“Jeg vil gjøre alt jeg kan for å få en ny kamp i USA. og jeg lover å alltid gi alt. Jeg håper fansen likte kampen vår i kveld.
“Jeg er villig til å kjempe mot hvem som helst, Jeg skulle bare ønske jeg hadde mer tid til å forberede meg på Nyambayar.”

BIRMINGHAM, AL. (Februar 25, 2017) – Ubeseiret tungvektsverdensmester Deontay “Bronse Bomber” Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) slo Gerald ut “The Black Rooster” Washington (18-1-1, 12 KOs) i femte runde av hovedturneringen til Premier Boxing Champions på FOX og FOX Deportes på Legacy Arena i Birmingham, AL.
Foran en mengde 12,346 fans, Wilder var i stand til å gi hjemmestatsmengden en ny glitrende seier. Selv om Washington stjal noen av de tidlige rundene, Wilders tålmodighet betalte seg da han klarte å finne tempoet og fullføre Washington i femte ramme.
I den blåsende TV-åpningen, Dominic Breazeale (18-1, 16 KOs) stoppet tidligere ubeseiret Izuagbe Ugonoh (17-1, 14 KOs). Ugonoh kontrollerte kampen tidlig ved å lande tunge slag mot både Breazeales kropp og hode, men Breazeale var i stand til å komponere seg selv og stormet tilbake for å slå ut Ugonoh på imponerende måte.
Medarrangementet inneholdt Jarrett Hurd (20-0, 14 KOs) slå ut Tony Harrison (24-2, 20 KOs) i den niende runden av deres konkurranse.
Her er hva krigerne hadde å si etter deres kamp:
Deontay Wilder
“Jeg visste at han kom inn spent på å kjempe om en verdensmesterskap. Jeg bare holdt meg rolig og fant rytmen min. Jeg visste virkelig at han kom til å bli trett, og da han gjorde det, tok jeg fordel.
“Det hele handlet om timing. Jeg er veldig smart når det gjelder å bruke forskjellige taktikker i ringen.
“Å kjempe her i Alabama er en velsignelse. Folk her dukker opp for å støtte meg, og jeg elsker dem for det. Jeg kommer alltid til å støtte og være her for Alabama-familien min. Å se mengdenes respons i kveld betydde mye for meg.
“Som jeg har sagt, Jeg ønsker å forene divisjonen. Jeg synes det er viktig å ha en fighter og en mester, og det er Deontay Wilder. La oss håpe Joseph Parker er klar for meg, for jeg er definitivt klar for ham.”
GERALD WASHINGTON
“Jeg ble bare litt utålmodig. Jeg prøvde å gå for det. Det var en jevn boksekamp. Jeg kunne ha holdt det slik og holdt det kjedelig. Jeg vet ikke hvorfor jeg sovnet der. Jeg antar at jeg mistet litt fokus.
“Jeg tok ham med ett skudd da han kom inn. Men i stedet for at jeg holder spillet oppe og fortsetter å skyve ham tilbake og holde ham i kontroll ved å holde ham midt i ringen, Jeg prøvde å komme på ham. Jeg prøvde å spille en liten motpunch-rolle og fange ham inn. Han tok meg bare.
“Det er bare en opplevelse. Du må følge spillplanen og holde fokus, vær tålmodig. Du får kanskje ikke alle skuddene du ønsker i begynnelsen, men du må spille spillet helt ut og da begynner ting å skje.”
JARRETT HURD
“Vi ønsket å ta oss tid med ham fordi Harrison kan bokse og bevege seg. Men hver gang han kjemper slites han mot slutten.
“I løpet av den sjette runden, han fanget meg med et godt skudd inne i venstre øye. Men jeg klarte å kjempe meg gjennom det og få seieren.
“Det føles flott å være en mester. Jeg har aldri hatt en følelse så bra før. Det er ren Accokeek-kraft. Jeg kan endelig trekke buksene opp nå. Buksene mine falt ned, men jeg fikk endelig beltet.”
DOMINIC Breazeale
“Det tok litt tid for meg å finne tempoet mitt, men til slutt fant jeg rytmen min. Izu kom i god form og med våpen flammende. Han kom på meg med noen ting som jeg ikke forventet. Han var den lettere fyren, og jeg hadde egentlig ikke forventet kraften han hadde.
“Jeg klarte å koble sammen noen store skudd i kveld, spesielt med høyre hånd. Du ser hva som skjer når jeg legger ham ned, og han kom seg aldri helt tilbake.
“Kommer av tapet til Joshua, denne seieren setter meg tilbake der inne. Dette er det jeg alltid har bedt om. Teamet mitt gjør en utrolig jobb med å skaffe meg den slags kamp jeg ber om, og jeg ønsket å kjempe mot en ubeseiret fyr som Izu. Han er en stor, sterk, atletisk fyr.
“I kveld, historien handlet om at jeg hadde hjertet til en løve, blir slått ned, men kommer rett opp igjen for å fullføre denne kampen.”
IZUAGBE UGONOH
“Jeg forventet at jeg skulle slå ham ut. Jeg trodde jeg ville oppnå det, men han overrasket meg ikke med noe. Jeg landet noen gode skudd til både kroppen og ansiktet hans.
“Breazeale viste imidlertid mye hjerte, og jeg tror at opplevelsen hans virkelig hjalp ham. Jeg tror en kamp som Anthony Joshua virkelig hjalp ham med å innse at han kunne ta hva som helst og vinne kampen. Han gjorde det i kveld.
“Ærlig, Jeg ble bare sliten. Jeg ga ham det jeg hadde, og så ble jeg sliten. Da han kom tilbake på meg, klarte jeg ikke å følge med og fullføre spillplanen min.
“Planen var å virkelig bruke min doble jab, og jeg kommer ikke med noen unnskyldninger. Dette er kampspillet. Dette var en stor mulighet for meg, et stort steg opp, og jeg håpet å få det gjort. Det gjorde jeg ikke, men det er en del av sporten. Jeg er ikke vant til å tape, men den tiden kom i dag. Jeg er fortsatt en farlig mann å kjempe for.”

Deontay Wilder
“Frien min har gitt meg mulighet til å få et bedre forhold til venstre hånd. Det er så mange forskjellige måter å kaste et jab på at jeg ikke trodde jeg kunne gjøre. Å jobbe med en arm tillot meg å bli utsatt for mange nye ting. Det kommer til å bli en annen Deontay Wilder i ringen.
“Det har vært en reise for meg. Jeg vet at det er et formål med det hele, og det er en grunn til at jeg er her og hvorfor jeg er mester. Alt har manifestert meg.
“Dette er et fantastisk kort på lørdag natt, og jeg vet at disse andre gutta ikke kan vente med å komme inn i ringen.
“Lørdag natt kommer til å bli en elektrisk kamp. Jeg elsker staten min, og jeg elsker å kunne komme tilbake til Alabama. Hjemmet er der hjertet mitt er. Det føles bra å fortsette å gi tilbake.
“Jeg er overveldet. Jeg er så klar for denne kampen. Alle har en historie å fortelle. Alt som har skjedd med motstanderne mine er i fortiden. Jeg er forelsket i denne sporten. Jeg har et mål å nå i denne sporten, og jeg vil nå det.
“Jeg setter meg alltid i motstandernes stilling og tenker på om det var meg. That’s why I have so much passion for this sport and I give it my all. I don’t want to end up like my opponents. I don’t want to see what those lights looks like from the bottom.
“I want people to look back on my legacy and see that it was a long journey. I’ve paved the way for my city and my state. I’ve laid the bread crumbs and now people can follow.
“When my first opponent dropped out, the first name that came to my mind was Gerald Washington. I appreciate the way he conducted himself. Every time I saw him, he always shook my hand and told me he was ready.
“I know Gerald is excited. I was too. I know what it’s like to be able to fight for one of the most prestigious belts in the world. Men, it’s my belt. Jeg gleder meg fortsatt. Selv om jeg er verdensmester i tungvekt, Jeg er fortsatt ydmyk. Jeg holder beltet i saken, til det er på tide for meg å kjempe igjen. Jeg er ikke fornøyd. Det er fortsatt mer å oppnå.”
GERALD WASHINGTON
“Jeg har hatt et utrolig løp for å få meg til å høre. Jeg er takknemlig til Deontay for at han valgte meg for denne kampen. Han kunne valgt mange motstandere, men han valgte meg, og jeg er takknemlig for det.
“Dette er en drøm som går i oppfyllelse. Jeg begynte å bokse som barn, men jeg visste ikke hva jeg ville gjøre. Jeg har hatt en lang vei, men nå kjemper jeg for verdensmesterskap i tungvekt. Dette betyr bare så mye for meg.
“Treneren min John Pullman og jeg begynte å jobbe sammen, og vi har gått gjennom alle hindringer. Det er hardt arbeid, men vi legger ned arbeidet sammen, og nå er vi her. Det er det livet handler om. Du må ta risiko og når det er på tide, det er på tide å håndtere virksomheten din. Det er min tid, og jeg er klar.
“Jeg er så glad for å kunne gjøre det jeg elsker. Jeg skal opp mot Deontay Wilder, Bronze Bomber, i sin bakgård. Du kan ikke ta bort det han har oppnådd. Men jeg er her for å håndtere virksomheten min.
“Jeg prøver å leve som mester, og nå er det min mulighet til å bli mester. Jeg kommer til å gripe denne muligheten og ta den.”
TONY HARRISON
“Som konkurrent, Jeg var allerede spent på kampen da de ringte meg om å kjempe mot Hurd. Jeg sa ja med en gang. Jarett Hurds navn er nevnt hver gang du nevner divisjonen på 154 pund. Jeg begynte med dette og ønsket å være best og gjøre det, Jeg må slå de beste.
“Det var en kamp for meg som jeg hoppet på med en gang. Da jeg fikk samtalen om at det skulle bli en tittelkamp, Jeg visste at dette kom til å bli en eldre kamp.
“Jeg tror vi har gjensidig respekt på vei inn i denne kampen. Han respekterer meg like mye som jeg respekterer ham. Men Lørdag natt, Jeg ønsker å få min respekt som en fighter. For oss begge, Jeg tror det er reist mange spørsmål om hvem vi har kjempet. Disse spørsmålene blir besvart på lørdag natt.
“Dette er en kamp hvor du må respektere begge krigerne. Byen Detroit kommer for å se meg bringe denne verdens tittelen hjem, og jeg er sikker på at Maryland forventer det samme fra Hurd. Det kommer til å bli en fantastisk atmosfære.
“Fra jeg begynte på seks år gammel, denne dagen har vært potten på slutten av regnbuen. Jeg kjemper en stor fighter for et flott belte i en flott vektklasse.
“Jeg må bare ut og ta den en runde av gangen. Jeg tror at jeg har for mye i arsenalet. Jeg kan ikke bli så spent, selv om jeg ser en åpning for å stoppe kampen, Jeg skal gjøre det på den smarte måten. Jeg er i form å gå 12 runder, men hvis jeg ser muligheten min, Jeg kommer til å ta det.
“Jeg ønsker å fortsette arven. Det kommer til å bli en fantastisk kamp. Jeg elsker Deontay, men jeg ønsker å stjele showet. Dette er den beste divisjonen i boksing. Jeg kommer hardt ut, og jeg vet at motstanderen min også er det. Vi er begge klare til å legge alt på banen for denne verdensmesterskapet.”
JARRETT HURD
“Vi var glade da vi først kjempet med Tony Harrison, og vi var enda mer glade da vi fant ut at det ville være for en verdensmesterskap. Dette er enhver mesters drøm, og jeg får en stor mulighet i et stort nettverk. Alle får se hvem Jarrett Hurd er.
“Dette betyr alt. Å være ubeseiret er noe som åpner mange dører for deg. Jeg er i kvalitetskamper, så jeg gjør noe bra. Jeg har en annen stor motstander foran meg, men Februar 25 Jeg vil være en verdensmester.
“Vi hadde en veldig god lang treningsleir. Jeg trengte ikke gjøre noe for drastisk for å få vekt. Jeg er en stor fighter for denne divisjonen, men jeg har aldri hatt problemer med vekt. Jeg gleder meg til å komme inn i ringen.
“Min far ble født i Birmingham, Alabama, så det å være i stand til å få verdensmesterskapet mitt her er spennende for hele familien min. Dette er en stor kamp for meg. Jeg har trent hardt og er forberedt på det.
“Jeg vil at denne kampen skal svare på mange spørsmål. Noen mennesker sier at jeg ikke er den raskeste eller at jeg ikke har nok forsvar. Jeg vil være en ubeseiret fighter, men jeg vil også bygge en arv. Jeg vil være på plattformen med de beste. Jeg tror denne kampen vil gi meg den troverdigheten.
“Jab kommer til å være veldig viktig. Tony Harrison has a really nice jab and the winner of the jab battle is going to be victorious. My jab and taking away his jab is going to win the fight for me.”
“My time is here. There will be a new 154-pound champion på lørdag natt. My pants are falling down and I need my belt!”
DOMINIC Breazeale
“It’s great to be back on this stage. I’m ready to come back and show my boxing skills. Deontay and Gerald are going to put on a great show and I’m excited to be a part of it.
“My opponent is definitely an unknown character. We prepared for everything to get ready for a guy that will move a lot. It’s big for him to be fighting on a big card like this for his first U.S. fight. I’m glad he took the fight.
“I just need to be a pressure fighter. Jeg har vært nede og reist meg. Jeg har vært der med de beste. Jeg kan ikke la ham bli komfortabel. Jeg skal gi ham en slags kamp han aldri har sett før.
“Jeg har trent hardt med Manny Robles, og vi har gjort noen fenomenale ting i det siste 10 uker. Jeg har stått på den store scenen og er klar til å gjøre det igjen. Jeg har det bra og er forberedt på å sette opp et show.”
IZUAGBE UGONOH
“Jeg har trent i Las Vegas i tre år, og jeg er veldig spent på å gjøre USA. debut Lørdagnatt. Det er en flott mulighet, og jeg er glad for å få en stor kamp med en gang mot en god tidligere tittelutfordrer som også er en OL. Jeg kunne ikke ønsket meg noe bedre enn dette.
“Jeg har sett på mange Dominic-kamper, even before I knew I was going to fight him. We know what he’s good at and we know where he makes mistakes. All my training partners were taller than me, so I’m comfortable fighting against big guys.
“For meg, this is everything. If you’re a fighter and you train hard to be a champion, then this is the stage you want to reach. When you get here, the question is, are you comfortable with it? I’ve always believed that this is where I belong and now I have the opportunity. Now I just want to have fun and do what I do best.
“I think this is going to be a very explosive fight. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in. I prepared for a better Dominic Breazeale than who fought Joshua. I think it’s going to be a beautiful night.
“My road has been very rocky. Jeg har kjempet hele verden, but everything happens for a reason and happens at the right time. The time is now for me.”
CALEB ANLEGG
“I’ve had a great camp. I know everyone says that, but this really has been my most productive camp. I’ve had great sparring since I moved to Las Vegas. It’s going to be fireworks på lørdag.
“I know my opponent has been in there with some tough guys. Han har aldri blitt stoppet. That’s what we want. Soft touches won’t get me to where I’m headed. This is my closest fight to my hometown of Nashville since I turned pro so I’m expecting a lot of support.
“I’m not here to take the easy road. Det er min tid nå. This is a great opportunity and I think it’s going to be a great fight. I’m excited to get in the ring.
“Coming from where I came from, alt dette er surrealistisk. Mitt harde arbeid fikk meg hit. Jeg er velsignet med å være her, og jeg føler at jeg fortjener det.
“Alt gikk så greit under leiren, og nå er det på tide å sette det sammen i ringen. Jeg har alltid vært i stand til å vise når presset er på.
“Jeg ønsker å vinne og vinne på imponerende måte. Jeg kommer til å ha et sterkt forsvar, men jeg må legge varmen på ham. Dette er den typen press jeg elsker.
“Jeg vil ha store kamper. Jeg er fokusert på å bli bedre hver dag. Jeg har et flott team rundt meg, og jeg føler at jeg kan slå hvem som helst.”

FOUR-TIME WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP EVANDER HOLYFIELD JOINS FOX SPORTS BROADCAST TEAM FOR PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT LØRDAG

Legg igjen en kommentar
Fjærvekt verdensmester Abner Mares fungerer også som analytiker med Holyfield, Brian Kenny og Virgil Hunter
FOX Sports og NextVR Broadcast PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS: WILDER VS. WASHINGTON Live i virtuell virkelighet
Los Angeles – FOX Sports kunngjør den fire ganger verdensmesteren i tungvekt Evander “The Real Deal” Holyfield og nåværende verdensmester i fjærvekt, Abner Mares, blir med i FOX Sports kringkastingsteam som analytikere for PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS: WILDER VS. WASHINGTON live på FOX og FOX Deportes Lørdag, Februar. 25 (8:00 PM ET), fra Legacy Arena på BJCC i Birmingham, Ala. I tillegg, FOX Sports og bransjeleder NextVR-teamet leverer det to-timers showet i virtual reality.
Holyfield gjør en spesiell opptreden som gjesteanalytiker med kringkastingsteamet for slag-for-slag-kunngjøreren Brian Kenny, medanalytiker og mangeårig boksetrener Virgil Hunter, Hopper og reporter Kristine Leahy, under de spennende tunge kampene. Hovedarrangementet inneholder tittelkampen mellom WBC verdensmester Deontay “Bronse Bomber” Wilder (37-0, 36 KOs) og ubeseiret tungvekt Gerald “The Black Rooster” Washington (18-0-1, 12 KOs), så vel som den 10-runde sammenstøtet mellom hardtslående Dominic Breazeale (17-1, 15 KOs) og ubeseiret Izuagbe Ugonoh (17-0, 14 KOs).
Holyfield regjerte som både den ubestridte verdensmesteren i cruiservekt og tungvekt i en karriere som strakte seg over mer enn tre tiår fra 1984 til 2011. Han forsvarte det ubestridte mesterskapet i tungvekt tre ganger.
Holyfield og Wilder deler en forbindelse. Begge ble født i Alabama – Holyfield i Atmore og Wilder i Tuscaloosa, der han fortsatt bor. Holyfield has followed Wilder’s career since the 31-year-old champion was a member of the U.S. boxing Olympic team and won a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Games.
There is another Olympic connection between Holyfield and Ugonoh’s trainer, Kevin Barry. Holyfield and Barry met in the semifinals of a light heavyweight bout at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. The match was marred by controversy after Holyfield was disqualified in the second round for hitting Barry on the break. Because of the disqualification, Holyfield won the bronze medal for the U.S. team in the 1984 LA Games.
The fourth installment of PBC on FOX features the two heavyweight bouts, as well as a junior middleweight title fight. Once-beaten Tony Harrison (24-1, 20 KOs) and undefeated Jarrett Hurd (19-0, 13 KOs) battle in a 12-round affair for a vacant 154-pound world championship.
Working with NextVR, the two-hour PBC on FOX show is also broadcast live in virtual reality. For the second year in a row, multiple cameras set up around the ring capture the action in immersive, high-definition virtual reality, providing fans with the best seat in the house. The PBC on FOX boxing experience is available for free through the NextVR app. Fans with a Google Daydream or Samsung Gear VR headset, along with a compatible smartphone, can access the virtual reality experience by downloading the NextVR app from the Oculus or Google Play Stores.
Once the fights are done on FOX, the boxing continues for two more hours on FS1 & FOX Sports, with Kenny calling the action with analysts Mares and Hunter. That show is headlined by unbeaten prospect Caleb Plant (14-0, 10 KOs) against Ghana’s Thomas Awimbono (25-6-1, 21 KOs) i 10-runde main event.
