Canelo Promotions will present the Premier Boxing Champions Pay-Per-View.

The pay-per-view also includes former world championsYordenis UgasenMario "El Azteca" Barriosgoing toe-to-toefor the Interim WBC Welterweight Title.

Tickets voor de live-evenement, which is promoted by Canelo Promotions and TGB Promotions, are available through AXS.com.

“These three matchups deliver everything boxing fans could hope for in a pay-per-view undercard and are worthy of the historic main event clash they will lead up to,”Zei Tom Brown, President van TGB Promotions. “Each fighter stepping into the ring has an opportunity to catapult themselves to the top of their respective division with a win on September 30. Fans can expect to see all of these competitors give everything they have to emerge victorious on SHOWTIME PPV at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.”

A strong southpaw who at 22 has yet to come close to hitting his ceiling as a fighter, Ramos (20-0, 16 KO) blitzed then-unbeaten Joey Spencer in March, dropping him in round one before stopping him in round seven to earn the TKO in his sensational 2023 debut on the undercard of David Benavidez vs. Caleb Plant on SHOWTIME PPV. A native of Casa Grande, Ariz., Ramos also owns back-to-back 10-round unanimous decisions over Brian Mendoza and Javier Molina in 2021, which he followed up by defeating Luke Santamaria and Vladimir Hernandez in 2022. Globaal, the youthful Ramos has gained recognition with highlight-reel KOs, stopping seven of his last 10 tegenstanders, showcasing his skills and ability to end his fights early.

I’m excited to be part of this huge card against a tough opponent on September 30,” said Ramos. “I know Lubin is training hard and coming to win, which will make for an entertaining fight. This whole card is stacked and we don’t want to disappoint, so the fans are in for a great night of boxing.

The 27-year-old Lubin (25-2, 18 KO) returned to the ring in June to deliver an impressive fifth-round stoppage of veteran Luis Arias, who had never been stopped previously. Lubin’s previous outing saw him go toe-to-toe in one of 2022’s best fights, as he traded knockdowns with fellow contender Sebastian Fundora on SHOWTIME in April 2022. Heading into the Fundora fight, Lubin had put together an impressive six-bout winning streak since a loss to then unified and now undisputed 154-pound champion Jermell Charlo in 2017, a run that included triumphs over Jeison Rosario, Terrell Gausha and Ishe Smith. Een inwoner van Orlando, Fla., Lubin werd pro bij 18 jaar oud in 2013 and became one of the youngest prospects to ever appear on the developmental seriesShoBox: The New Generation®,earning “Prospect Of The Year” honors from ESPN and Ring Magazine in 2016.

“I know the world will be watching on September 30 and I plan on winning in a big way,”Zei Lubin. “We’ve got a young and talented fighter in front of us, but I’m young and talented as well. The difference is that I’ve fought the cream of the crop of the 154-pound division. Doesn’t matter if it’s Olympians, top prospects, contenders or champions, I’ve taken them on. I have a big chip on my shoulder and I know that with this win, I’ll be in a mega fight. I’m training extremely hard and the whole world will see it pay off.”

ugas (27-5, 12 KO) will step back into action on September 30 for the first time since an April 2022 unification bout defeat to Errol Spence Jr. op SHOWTIME PPV. He established himself as an elite welterweight after returning from a more than two-year layoff in 2016 following back-to-back losses in 2014. He punched his ticket as a world champion in January 2021 after winning a WBA belt by defeating Abel Ramos in September 2020. He solidified his world-championship status in August 2021, when he stepped in for an injured Spence to defeat legendary future Hall of Famer Manny Pacquiao by unanimous decision. Hailing from Santiago, Cuba and now living in Miami, Florida, the Olympic bronze medalist trains in Las Vegas with renowned coach Ismael Salas and owns victories over then undefeated fighters Jamal James, Omar Figueroa Jr. and Bryant Perrella, plus veteran contenders Thomas Dulorme and Ray Robinson.

“Both me and Mario Barrios have a lot to gain with a victory on September 30, so I know that this fight is going to be one to remember,” said Ugas. “I have tremendous respect for Barrios. He’s a true warrior who’s been in the ring with the best of them, but I have confidence that I’ll be victorious. I have a lot of fight left in me and my best skills will be on display in this fight. Patria y Vida, I fight for my people.”

The 28-year-old Barrios (27-2, 18 KO) most recently scored a sensational knockout of Jovanie Santiago in February stopping Santiago in the eighth-round. Barrios’ previous fight was his welterweight debut as he dropped a hard-fought decision to former unified champion Keith Thurman in February 2022. The San Antonio-product, who now trains with top coach Bob Santos in Las Vegas, became a 140-pound world champion in September 2019, using his aggressive style to edge out Batyr Akhmedov and earn a unanimous decision. Barrios lost the super lightweight title in another action packed, highly competitive bout, as he was defeated by three-division and five-time world champion Gervonta Davis in June 2021.

“This fight is going to be a war, because we both fight with a lot of heart and neither of us ever backs down,”Zei Barrios. “I can’t wait to compete in a matchup like this on one of the biggest cards of the year. This is going to be a great night of boxing from start to finish and the Mexican fans can expect to see an explosive performance from ‘El Azteca’!"

Fighting out of Phoenix, Arizona, Garcia (15-0, 12 KO) is one of 2023’s biggest breakout stars He burst onto the scene in March by blasting out the previously unbeaten Amilcar Vidal in the fourth-round to announce his presence at 160-pounds. The 20-year-old followed up that performance by dominating veteran Kevin Salgado on his way to a unanimous decision in April on the SHOWTIME PPV undercard of Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan García. The precocious Garcia has moved fast since turning pro in 2020 and has knocked out six of his last eight opponents.

“This is my second fight this year on a huge pay-per-view card and I’m super excited and even more prepared than the first time,”Zei Garcia. “Reséndiz is a hungry fighter just like myself, so I have no doubt that we are going to put on a hell of a show for all the fans watching.”

The 24-year-old Reséndiz(14-1, 10 KO) earned a career-best victory in his last outing as he stopped former unified champion Jarrett Hurd in the 10th and final round of their March showdown on SHOWTIME. Reséndiz led on all three cards when the bout was stopped due to a severe laceration on Hurd’s lip. A native of Nayarit, Mexico, he now fights out of Los Angeles and will look to make it three-straight wins since a close decision loss to Marcos Hernandez in September 2021. Reséndiz turned pro in February 2018 and made a successful U.S. debuut in april 2021 with a decision victory over Quilisto Madera.

“I’m very happy to have this great opportunity to compete on such an important fight card,” said Reséndiz. “I’m excited to realize my dream of fighting in Las Vegas, just like my boxing idols that I watched on TV. I’ve had an amazing training camp that will help me look my best on September 30 and put on a performance worthy of the boxing legends who inspire me.”

ATLANTA (Mei 20, 2021) – Viervoudig wereldkampioen Gervonta "Tank" Davis and undefeated WBA Super Lightweight Champion Mario "El Azteca" Barrios went face-to-face Thursday at a press conference to preview their SHOWTIME PPV main event taking place Saturday, Juni 26 at the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Een van de grootste bokssterren op slechts 26-jarige leeftijd, Davis will take on a career-defining challenge in the undefeated Barrios, as he sets his sights on capturing a title in a third weight class. Met een overwinning, Davis houdt tegelijkertijd wereldkampioenschappen in drie verschillende divisies, een prestatie die slechts door een paar vechters in de geschiedenis is bereikt. Standing in his way is the undefeated 26-year-old Barrios, who owns a 9-0 record with eight knockouts during his 140-pound reign and holds a six-inch height advantage over Davis.

Davis returns to fight at State Farm Arena after selling out the venue in December 2019 during a star-studded event that saw him stop former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa in the 12thand final round to capture a lightweight title.

Tickets voor het live-evenement in State Farm Arena, die wordt gepromoot door Mayweather Promotions, GTD-promoties en TGB-promoties, go on sale tomorrow, Vrijdag, Mei 21 bij 10 a.m. EN, en kunnen worden gekocht bij ticketmaster.com.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday at State Farm Arena:

GERVONTA DAVIS

“Camp has been great for me. We know that Barrios is a bigger guy and that he can punch. We’re working hard each day in the gym, because we’re going up against a big task on June 26.

“We all have challenges we go through in life, and that’s what makes us strong. This is another challenge that I have on my road to success. I’m ready to walk through it and keep pushing.

“We know this is a dangerous fight. Barrios is coming with power and you know for sure I’m coming with power. Moge de beste winnen.

“I took this fight because I want to be great. All the other big names at lightweight had scheduled fights so I felt like I wanted to go out and beat the best fighter out there for me.

“Even if he is bigger than me on fight night, het maakt niet uit. This is all part of the sport. My goal is to break him down. If I can get him out of there, I’ll get him out of there. If it goes 12 rondes, zo zal het zijn. He’s big and strong, but he’s never faced anyone like me.

“We have to wait and see what happens on fight night. Different styles dictate what I need to show in the fight. We’ll see what he brings to the table, and then we’ll capitalize off of it.

“I’m not worried about losing any speed by adding weight. I’m going to be quick regardless. I think I’m going to be at my best at 140-pounds.

“Like all of the rest of my fights, this is going to be action packed. Don’t go get popcorn during the fight, because it could end at any moment. I bring what boxing needs, and that’s excitement. We all know when I fight, it’s never a boring fight. Uit de eerste ronde, until whenever it ends, I just keep coming, in all of my fights. That’s what you’re going to see June 26.”

MARIO BARRIOS

“This is a huge opportunity for me. ‘Tank’ called me out. I know he’s trying to do something great, but this is a dangerous fight for him. It’s going to be an action-packed fight. We’ve never faced fighters like each other before. We’re going to see on June 26 if it’s the right move for him.

“I fight to represent my city and my people. I’m going to go out there and do my best to make everybody proud.

“They might be looking at my fight against Batyr Akhmedov closely. But I think he has a totally different style and that this fight will be different than what they expect if they just watch that match. I don’t know what they see in me to want this fight, but none of it matters to me. All the questions are going to be answered on June 26.

“’Tank’ is jumping up two weight classes. He’s doing something a lot of great fighters have done. He even said it: this isn’t an easy fight for him. We’re ready to face the best version of ‘Tank’ that anyone has ever seen and it’s going to be war.

“I was surprised when his name was brought up to me. But whether you like ‘Tank’ or not, he has one of the biggest names in boxing. This is the type of fight that can skyrocket my name up there to the top level of the sport.

“’Tank’ is a good fighter and a very explosive fighter. There is the question of whether he’s bringing his power up to 140. I don’t have any concerns about it though. He’s the guy who has to show people he can handle my power at this weight.

“I’m excited to be fighting in Atlanta. This is my first time here actually but I know the fans here are very passionate. I’m expecting to see a great turnout here at State Farm Arena.”

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO van Mayweather Promotions

“’Tank’ is a generational fighter. He has certain abilities that others just don’t. He’s special, but this is a dangerous fight for him. This is a tremendous challenge and I’m really excited for this fight.

“Atlanta is a hot market. Obviously the first fight they had in a long time was ‘Tank’ vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa and it was a packed sold out crowd in this building. The fans really enjoyed it. The city needs big events like this. We told the fans we were coming back and here we are.

“’Tank’ is chasing history. When you look back at a lot of all-time greats, they’ve gone through things no one else ever has. Looking to be a three-division champion at 26 years old is another example of him chasing greatness like that.

“’Tank’ is the most exciting fighter in the entire sport and he gives the fans what they want to see. He puts butts in seats. People gravitate to the way he fights. This new generation of fans that we have, they love him.”

ATLANTA (Mei 19, 2021) – Viervoudig wereldkampioen Gervonta "Tank" Davis will take on a career-defining challenge as he sets his sights on capturing a title in a third weight class when he faces undefeated WBA Super Lightweight Champion Mario "El Azteca" Barrios in a SHOWTIME PPV main event Saturday, Juni 26 at the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

The pay-per-view undercard will feature a battle of two top 154-pound contenders as Erickson "Hammer" Lubin faces former unified champion Jeison Rosario in een WBC Super weltergewicht Titel Eliminator in het co-main event. Former unified super welterweight champion Julian "J-Rock" Williams returns to the ring for the first time in 18 months to take onBrian Mendoza in a 10-round showdown and hard-hitting Olympian Batyr Akhmedov steps in against former world champion Argenis Mendez in a 12-round WBA Super Lightweight Title Eliminator to kick off the pay-per-view telecast at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

Tickets voor het live-evenement in State Farm Arena, die wordt gepromoot door Mayweather Promotions, GTD-promoties en TGB-promoties, go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. EN, en kunnen worden gekocht bij ticketmaster.com. The Akhmedov vs. Mendez fight is promoted in association with World of Boxing.

Een van de grootste bokssterren op slechts 26-jarige leeftijd, Davis stijgt voor het eerst in zijn carrière tot 140 pond terwijl hij ernaar streeft een superlichtgewichtkampioen toe te voegen aan zijn geweldige cv. Davis has already captured titles at 130 and 135-pounds. Met een overwinning, Davis houdt tegelijkertijd wereldkampioenschappen in drie verschillende divisies, een prestatie die slechts door een paar vechters in de geschiedenis is bereikt, waaronder Henry Armstrong en Canelo Alvarez. Standing in his way is the undefeated 25-year-old Barrios, who owns a 9-0 record with eight knockouts during his 140-pound reign while holding a six-inch height advantage over Davis.

“Gervonta Davis is looking to become a three-division world champion, and has a big undertaking in front of him in challenging Barrios for his WBA title at 140-pounds,”Zei Leonard Ellerbe, CEO van Mayweather Promotions. “Barrios is a warrior, and this is going to be Davis’ toughest fight to date. Atlanta, be ready for a show on June 26!"

Davis (24-0, 23 KO) delivered a highlight-reel knockout in his last fight, producing another sensational and memorable performance that has made him a popular draw throughout the country. Davis stopped four-division champion Leo Santa Cruz with one powerful uppercut in that October 2020 fight and put Santa Cruz down and out for the first time in his illustrious career. Bevorderd door Mayweather Promotions, Davis will make his second headline appearance on pay-per-view as he has asserted himself as a must-see headline attraction in his first pay-per-view

Davis first 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® in januari 2017. Tegelijkertijd, hij werd op leeftijd de jongste wereldkampioen boksen 22. The Baltimore-native also owns knockout performances in world title fights over Jesus Cuellar in 2018 and Yuriorkis Gamboa in 2019. De 2019 triumph over Gamboa came at a sold out State Farm Arena, during a year that also saw him fill venues in his hometown of Baltimore and Southern California.

“I’m excited to make history on June 26 in Atlanta and become a three-division world champion,"Zei Davis. “Atlanta welcomed me with open arms for my fight against Gamboa and I couldn’t wait to come back and headline a spectacular SHOWTIME PPV card. Mario Barrios is an undefeated champion, but he hasn’t ever faced anyone like me before. Moving up to 140-pounds is a big challenge but I’ve been working hard in camp and I’ll be ready. Thank you to my whole team for making this historic boxing event possible. Make sure you get your tickets early because this fight is definitely selling out! Keep supporting me and I’ll fight for you!"

Buurten (26-0, 17 KO) captured his 140-pound championship in September 2019, scoring two knockdowns and fighting through a cut to win a unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Batyr Akhmedov. The San Antonio-native trains in Oakland, Calif., onder leiding van gerenommeerde coach Virgil Hunter. In zijn meest recente uitje, Barrios knocked out Ryan Karl in the sixth-round of their clash on the pay-per-view undercard of Davis vs. Santa Cruz.

Standing nearly six-feet tall, Barrios debuted as a pro at super bantamweight in 2013 and had success moving up the rankings in the super featherweight division. His first 140-pound bout came in 2017 and saw him increase his power from his previous performances. At super lightweight, Barrios has scored knockouts in every fight except the title-winning performance against Akhmedov, where his power was still on display with a pair of knockdowns.

“Fighting on SHOWTIME PPV is a dream come true and an opportunity that I’m going to take full advantage of,”Zei Barrios. “Gervonta Davis is a pound-for-pound champion and it’s going to be an honor sharing the ring with him. This fight is my shining moment and the pinnacle of the boxing world, on the biggest stage possible. Boxing fans around the globe will be watching this fight and I’m coming to shock the world. To all my Mexican fans, I’m going to bring this historic victory home for La Raza.”

The 25-year-old Lubin (23-1, 16 KO) has put together an impressive five-bout winning streak since a loss to unified 154-pound champion Jermell Charlo in 2017. In zijn meest recente uitje, he defeated U.S. Olympian Terrell Gausha by unanimous decision in September of last year. Prior to the victory over Gausha, he became the first person to stop former champion Ishe Smith, in addition to a dominating victory over Nathaniel Gallimore in October 2019. Een inwoner van Orlando, Fla., Lubin is trained by acclaimed coach Kevin Cunningham as he continues his quest toward another title opportunity. Na een geweldige amateurcarrière, Lubin werd pro bij 18 jaar oud in 2013, eventually being named “Prospect Of The Year” by ESPN and Ring Magazine in 2016.

“I’m so ready for this fight and we’ve been working hard in preparation for Rosario,”Zei Lubin. “This fight is another step closer to getting that world title shot. Coach Cunningham and I have a great game plan in place. We know this is going to be a tough fight and the fans are going to see a much-improved version of myself. I’ve taken my training to the next level during this training camp. Rosario is a former world champion who I know is going to bring his best, which is going to make for a great night of boxing. This card is stacked, but I’m going to steal the show with an incredible performance. I will not be denied, I’m coming out on top. It’s Hammer Time!"

Rozenkrans (20-2-1, 14 KO) will look to climb back into world title contention after losing his 154-pound belts to Jermell Charlo in their September 2020 clash. The 26-year-old captured the WBA and IBF belts by stopping Julian Williams in one of 2020’s biggest upsets. Born in the Dominican Republic and now fighting out of Miami, Rosario rode an eight-fight unbeaten streak into the showdown with Williams, including victories over 154-pound contenders Jamontay Clark, Justin DeLoach, Jorge Cota and Marcos Hernandez. Coming into the Charlo matchup, Rosario had established his power by earning a stoppage victory or scoring a knockdown in seven of his previous nine contests.

“I make no excuses for losing the fight to Charlo, but that was then, and this is now,”Zei Rosario. “I have turned to a new page in my career with my new trainer Herman Caicedo. I will not lose again, especially in this fight against Lubin. He’s a great contender, and I respect his abilities, but I will knock him out on June 26.”

Philadelphia’s Williams (27-2-1, 16 KO) became a unified world champion at 154-pounds in May 2019 when he upset Jarrett Hurd in one of the year’s best fights, winning a close-quarters brawl by unanimous decision. The 31-year-old dropped the titles in his first defense, losing to Jeison Rosario in January 2020. Williams had been riding a five-fight winning streak going into the Rosario matchup, in which he added victories over former champion Ishe Smith and hard-hitting contender Nathaniel Gallimore to his ledger.

“This has been the longest layoff of my career, so I’m excited to get back in the ring,"Zei Williams. “Mendoza is a decent fighter. I’ve even been in the gym with him and he’s a good guy. But on June 26, it’s going to be all business. I just need to come out on top. He doesn’t have anything that I haven’t seen before. I know he’ll be ready because this is like the Super Bowl for him. So I know he’ll be ready, but I’ll be ready too. If I’m able to get the win, then it’s on to bigger and better opportunities. But I’m definitely not looking past Brian because I know how seriously he’s taking this fight.”

Mendoza (19-1, 13 KO) earned a career best-victory in his last outing, beating veteran contender Thomas LaManna by unanimous decision in August 2020. The 27-year-old has fought professionally since 2014, with his only defeat coming by a narrow split-decision in November 2019 against Larry Gomez. Mendoza was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he won two New Mexico Golden Gloves Championships as an amateur, and currently fights out of Las Vegas.

“This fight against Julian Williams is just the fight I’ve been waiting for,” said Mendoza. “I’m planning to take full advantage of the opportunity. Julian Williams is a great fighter, but after June 26, the whole world is going to know that I belong at this level.”

Born in Uzbekistan and now fighting out of Los Angeles, Akhmedov (8-1, 7 KO) represented Turkey at the 2016 Olympische Spelen. The 30-year-old turned pro in 2017 and won his first seven pro fights, with six coming by knockout. His lone blemish came in an action-packed title fight against Mario Barrios in September 2019, where he was able to survive two knockdowns to make it a close fight, before eventually losing by decision. Meest recent, Akhmedov blasted out Ray Perez in the first round of their September 2020 clash.

“I can’t wait to get back in the ring for a big fight on June 26,” said Akhmedov. “I’ve been training hard to get another shot at the title. I know that if I make a big statement and defeat a former world champion in Mendez, I expect my next fight will be for the title. I’m always in exciting fights that fans love, and this matchup is going to be no different.”

Een voormalig super vedergewicht kampioen, Mendez (25-6-3, 12 KO) heeft de reputatie de beste van de sport stevige uitdagingen te bieden en heeft bewezen een duurzame kanshebber te zijn van 140 pond, including his most recent outing that saw him drop a split-decision to Richardson Hitchins last December. In 2019, Mendez fought to back-to-back draws against super lightweight contenders Anthony Peterson and Juan Heraldez. Geboren in San Juan de La Maguana, Dominicaanse Republiek, Mendez now fights out of Yonkers, N.Y.. and owns victories over Eddie Ramirez, Ivan Redkach and former titlist Miguel Vazquez. He has also gone toe-to-toe with former champions Rances Barthelemy and Robert Easter Jr.

“I am ready for anything Akhmedov brings and then a world title fight after,” said Mendez. “I believe that I beat Hitchins in my last fight, even though I was coming off a long layoff. I’m in great shape right now. Akhmedov is a hard puncher, but the fans are going to see me shine against him. There is a lot left in my tank and that will be obvious to everyone on June 26.”

'Erickson Lubin heeft een traan gehad sinds zijn enige verlies, toont zijn groei van het vooruitzicht van het jaar tot een topmededinger. Terrell Gausha heeft een indrukwekkende stamboom die teruggaat tot zijn tijd als U.S. Olympisch en zoals Lubin, hij kan een tweede kans op de wereldtitel verdienen met een overwinning in september 19. Voeg twee spannende undercard-attracties toe, en dit is weer een vechtkaart op SHOWTIME die boksfans niet willen missen. "

De 24-jarige Lubin (22-1, 16 KO) heeft een indrukwekkende reeks van vier overwinningen neergezet sinds een verlies tegen Jermell Charlo in 2017. Hij werd de eerste die voormalig kampioen Ishe Smith stopte, en het meest recent, hij domineerde Nathaniel Gallimore om in oktober een beslissing te nemen. Een inwoner van Orlando, Fla., Lubin wordt getraind door de bekende coach Kevin Cunningham terwijl hij zijn zoektocht naar een nieuwe titelkans voortzet. Na een geweldige amateurcarrière, Lubin werd pro bij 18 jaar oud in 2013, uiteindelijk door ESPN en Ring Magazine uitgeroepen tot Prospect Of The Year in 2016.

"Ik ben gefocust en klaar om mijn 2020 debuut op SHOWTIME,”Zei Lubin. "Terrell Gausha heeft in de ring gestaan ​​met een paar goede vechters en hij is ook een Olympiër, dus ik weet dat hij de ervaring heeft, maar ik verwacht hem te domineren. Mijn mentaliteit zal zijn om mijn spelplan uit te voeren en er als beste uit te komen. Ik ga de wereld laten zien dat ik een van de beste ben 154 klopt daarbuiten en ik ben klaar om een ​​riem om mijn middel te doen. Het is tijd voor Hammer!"

Een lid van de 2012 U.S. Olympisch team, Gausha (21-1-1, 10 KO) werd geboren in Cleveland, Ohio maar vecht nu uit Encino, Calif., waar hij wordt opgeleid door Manny Robles. De 32-jarige komt in mei uit een split-draw tegen voormalig wereldkampioen Austin Trout 2019. Gausha won zijn eerste 20 professionele gevechten, voordat hij zijn enige carrièrenederlaag leed in een 2017 wereldtitel confrontatie tegen Erislandy Lara.

“Trainingskamp is duidelijk een beetje anders geweest voorafgaand aan dit gevecht, maar we hebben gedaan wat we moeten doen, en ik ben klaar op 19 september, ”zei Gausha. "Dit is een groot gevecht voor mij, zijnde mijn tweede kans om een ​​wereldtitel te behalen. Ik weet dat Lubin jong is, goede vechter en ik weet zeker dat hij er ook klaar voor zal zijn. Maar dit is mijn vierde linkshandige op rij, dus ik ben erg voorbereid op dit gevecht en ik ga laten zien dat ik op een ander niveau sta.”

De 28-jarige Nyambayar (11-0, 9 KO) won een zilveren medaille die zijn geboorteland Mongolië vertegenwoordigde in de 2012 Olympische Spelen. Hij woont en traint nu in Las Vegas. Nyambayar klom op de vedergewichtranglijst na zijn uitgebreide amateurcarrière met overwinningen op de toen nog ongeslagen Harmonito Dela Torre en voormalig interim-kampioen Oscar Escandon. Nyambayar verdiende zijn eerste wereldtitel voordat hij de titelschot verdiende toen hij in januari voormalig kampioen Claudio Marrero versloeg. 2019. De Mongool liet zijn meest recente gevecht tegen de lang regerende WBC-kampioen vedergewicht Gary Russell Jr. in februari op SHOWTIME.

"Ik ben opgewonden om in de ring te stappen en op 19 september op te treden", zei Nyambayar. “De verandering van tegenstander naar Breedy heeft geen effect op mij. Dit is het vechtspel, dus je moet altijd voorbereid zijn. Ik was al hard aan het werk en ik zal dag in dag uit blijven werken om op mijn best te zijn als ik deelneem aan fight night. "

De 28-jarige Breedy (15-0, 5 KO), van Bridgetown, Barbados en vecht uit Hyattsville, Md., werd professional in 2014 en traint in de Headbangers Gym van Barry Hunter in Washington, D.C. Vechten onder de bijnaam 'Soldaat', Breedy diende drie jaar in het leger van Barbados. Binnen in de ring, hij stopte voor het laatst met Titus Williams in december, aftopping uit een succesvolle 2019 waar hij drie overwinningen aan zijn smetteloze record toevoegde. Ik heb bij beide campagne gevoerd 130 en 135 pond, Breedy wil naam maken in de competitieve 126-pond-divisie.

"Ik ben erg dankbaar voor deze kans en ik ben mijn team dankbaar dat ze me dit gevecht hebben bezorgd,”Zei Breedy. "Ik blijf in de sportschool en ben altijd voorbereid en blijf klaar. Ik heb die mentaliteit, dus ik kan profiteren van elke kans die op mijn pad komt. Mijn tegenstander is een goede vechter, maar op september 19, stem af en zie hoe ik ten oorlog voer. De wereld zal ontdekken wie ik ben. Ik ga geven 100 procent. Ik kan alles doen in de ring, en ik zal het op fight night laten zien. "

Een inwoner van het boksrijke Philadelphia, Pa., de uiterst getalenteerde Ennis (25-0, 23 KO) keert terug naar de ring na het stoppen van Bakhtiyar Eyubov in januari. Ennis scoorde twee nadrukkelijke knock-outoverwinningen ShoBox: The New Generation in 2018 voordat hij nog twee KO-overwinningen aan zijn grootboek toevoegt in 2019. Omdat zijn tegenstand gestaag is toegenomen sinds hij professional werd 2016, de switch-hitter heeft gescoord 15 opeenvolgende knockouts en 13 knockdowns in zijn zes meest recente periodes. "Laarzen,”Die nog moet worden gepusht voorbij de zesde ronde, was een opvallende amateur die de 2015 National Golden Gloves en werd gerangschikt als de nr. 1 amateur bij 141 pond voordat je pro wordt.

"Ik word elke dag beter, elke dag scherper, en elke dag slimmer tijdens trainingskamp,”Zei Ennis. "Ik weet niet veel over mijn tegenstander, maar niet al te veel jongens hebben mijn macht kunnen weerstaan ​​en ik verwacht niet dat dit anders zal zijn. Ik ben gewoon gefocust op mezelf, voorbereiden zodat ik de ring in kan, veel plezier, zien er fenomenaal uit voor iedereen die zich afstemt op SHOWTIME en zegeviert. "

Geboren in de Dominicaanse Republiek, Abreu (23-5-1, 21 KO) heeft nu in Salem gewoond en getraind, Massa., voor de afgelopen vijf jaar. De 33-jarige heeft zijn hele carrière tegen een hele reeks topwelterweights gevochten, waaronder Jamal James en Egidijus Kavaliauskas, terwijl hij ook een TKO-overwinning behaalde op Jesus Soto-Karass. Abreu is nooit gestopt.

“Jaron Ennis is een geweldige kanshebber met een goed boks-IQ, snelheid en fatsoenlijke kracht, maar dit is niet mijn eerste rodeo,”Zei Abreu. “Ik heb eersteklas oppositie gevochten en ik zou graag een goede Merengue met hem willen dansen. Ik heb een geweldig kamp en ik ben enthousiast en gemotiveerd door deze kans. Het is me duidelijk dat dit voor mij een do-or-die-strijd is, en daarom, komen september 19, Ik bereid me mentaal en fysiek voor om alles in die ring te laten. "

LEZING, Vader. – Oktober, 27, 2019 – Top super weltergewicht mededinger Erickson Lubin continued his resurgence with a dominant 10-round unanimous decision victory over Nathaniel Gallimore Saturday night on SHOWTIME from Santander Arena in Reading, Vader.

Lubin (22-1, 16 KO) won his fourth straight fight since a knockout loss to Jermell Charlo in a title challenge in 2017. The 24-year-old landed 42 percent of his power shots en route to the wide decision, gescoord 99-91 door alle drie de juryleden.

The southpaw relied on a suburb left hook, attacking from a variety of angles against the durable Gallimore (21-4-1, 17 KO) as he improved to 4-0 since beginning to train with southpaw specialist Kevin Cunningham.

I had a tremendous training camp thanks to Kevin Cunningham,” Lubin said. “At first we had Terrell Gausha but he fell out due to his injury. I appreciate Gallimore for stepping up to the plate. He gave me a tough fight and I appreciate it. We gave the fans what they wanted. I measured him. I just timed him and I was able to land my power shots.

Kevin is a real strict trainer and he’s a southpaw specialist. We’re just improving our game every camp. I definitely want Jermell Charlo again. My goal is to get revenge.

Cunningham was pleased with his pupil, who was pushed past the fifth round for the first time in more than three years.
He’s always been a hell of a fighter and I just wanted to fine tune and refine the skill set,” Cunningham said. “He can do everything that you can teach. He’s the total package. He’s got power, he’s got speed, he’s got footwork. He’s more than a brawler. He’s a skillful fighter with power.

He’s ready for all the top guys in the division. The guys with belts are what he wants.

Voormalig wereldkampioen lichtgewicht Robert Pasen, Jr. was victorious in his debut at super lightweight, winning a unanimous decision over Adrian Granados in an all-action fight scored 97-93, 98-92, 100-90.

Pasen (22-1-1 14 KO), who lost his lightweight title in a unification with Mikey Garcia in 2018, was matched for his first fight a super lightweight against one of boxing’s most aggressive, come-forward fighters and the result did not disappoint. Granados charged forward from the opening bell, pressing on the inside against his rangy, 5-foot-11 opponent. In the first half of the fight, Easter pocketed rounds while fighting from a distance, leaning on his speed to win the first four rounds on all three judges’ scorecards. But the fight seemed to change tides at the midway point, with Granados able to force the bout to be contested at close range. Rounds seven through 10 featured tremendous, back-and-forth exchanges and the more active Granados seemed to get the better of the exchanges.

The fighters combined to throw 1,815 combined total punches and 1,379 combined power punches across 12 rondes.

We knew he was going to be a hell of a warrior in there,” Easter said. “That’s what we train for. This was no ordinary opponent and we knew he was going to bring it. I wasn’t surprised because that’s what he does. You’ve seen him fight with the best of the best and he threw down. I knew he was going to throw punches in bunches.

This was a hell of a test for me at 140 and I felt strong. I’m not calling out anybody specifically, but you know there are champions in this weight class and I’m coming for all the belts. Line ’em up.

One of boxing’s most reliable action fighters, Granados (20-8-2, 13 KO) threw more punches and connected more and was once again frustrated with a decision that did not go his way.

“Ik ben sprakeloos. Ik voelde me alsof ik won het gevecht,” Granados said. “That 100 naar 90? Come on now.

I’m tired of the same old story. It was clear that I controlled the fight. He never had me hurt. That was embarrassing.

I can’t control the judging. It’s very frustrating. I have a dream to be a world champion and it just seems like it’s not cutting out for me. But I have the heart of a champion and I’m not giving up.

In de opening aanval van de uitzending, undefeated Cuban heavyweight Frank Sanchezgooide een shutout tegen Jack In lowayi, winning a 10-round unanimous decision scored 100-90 door alle drie de juryleden.

Sanchez (14-0, 11 KO) was the more active fighter from the opening bell, targeting the body against the defensive-minded Mulowayi (7-2-1, 3 KO). The 27-year-old Sanchez, who was taken the 10-round distance for the first time, threw over 250 more punches than his opponent.

My opponent didn’t really want to fight, he just wanted to fight dirty,” Sanchez said. “So all I could do was give him some lateral movement. It’s difficult when someone doesn’t want to engage. We wanted to touch him down, touch him up high. But once he got touched, the guy just tried to tie up.

There was no problem going 10 rondes. I’m in great shape and I’m ready to fight again as soon as possible. I showed my technical superiority tonight. All the heavyweights better watch out.

Two-time super featherweight world champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis was interviewed during Saturday’s telecast as he continues to train for his lightweight debut December 28 on SHOWTIME from State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The explosive Davis, who will fight Yuriorkis Gamboa for the WBA Lightweight World Championship, continued to call out the top fighters when he spoke with host Brian Custer.

I’ve heard all these guys calling me out, I don’t want to sound cocky, but I am the cash cow at this weight class,” Davis said. “Me and Leo Santa Cruz are going to fight in 2020.

Saturday’s SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIALE EDITIE tripleheader wordt maandag opnieuw afgespeeld om 10 p.m. ET / PT op SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Een toonaangevend productieteam en een aankondigingsteam leverden alle bezienswaardigheden, sounds and drama from Santander Arena. De ervaren omroep Brian Custer was gastheer van de uitzending, versatile combat sports voice Mauro Ranallo called the action ringside alongside Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein and former two-division world champion Paulie Malignaggi. Three Hall of Famers rounded out the SHOWTIME telecast team – Emmy® bekroonde verslaggever Jim Gray, officieuze eerste rang scorer Steve Farhood en wereldberoemde ring omroeper Jimmy Lennon Jr. De uitvoerend producent van SHOWTIME BOKSEN: SPECIAL EDITION was David Dinkins, Jr. en de directeur was Bob Dunphy.

LAS VEGAS (Februari 5, 2019) – Super welterweight contender Erickson Lubin will enter the ring under the guidance of coach Kevin Cunningham for the first time when he steps into the ring this Saturday against former world champion Ishe Smith als deel van SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN from Dignity Health Sports Park, formerly StubHub Center, in Carson, California and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

The digital presentation will stream on the SHOWTIME Sports YouTube-kanaal en Showtime Boxing Facebook-pagina vanaf 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT, and will also feature a showdown between super lightweights Juan Heraldez and Eddie Ramirez, all leading up to that evening’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING event. The three-fight SHOWTIME telecast begins live at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT headlined by super featherweight world champion Gervonta Davis defending his title against former world champion Hugo Ruiz.

Lubin will fight for the second time since losing his first world title challenge to Jermell Charlo in 2017, and for the first time with his new coach. The Orlando-native began training camp in West Palm Beach, but has been training in Las Vegas for the last month since the team moved west to finish the training camp for Adrien Broner’s fight against Manny Pacquiao.

Here is what Lubin had to say about Saturday’s fight and more:

On his matchup against Ishe Smith:

Ishe Smith has been in the ring with the best of them and he’s never been stopped. He knows how to fight and I’m expecting him to be at this best. I will have to dictate the pace right from the opening bell. My goal is to be the first person to take him out, but if it goes the distance, I’m okay with that as well. I’m going to win this fight and win it impressively.

On training with new coach Kevin Cunningham:

Kevin is a no-nonsense type of guy. He’s going to tell you the truth if you like it or not. If I’m doing something wrong in his eyes, he’s going to speak on it right away. He’ll do the same if I’m doing something right, so I like his style of training and I’m learning more each day we are together. This will be our first fight together and I’m excited to get back in the ring. We have a nice game plan in place that we will execute on fight night.

On training in Las Vegas for the first time in his career:

Training in Las Vegas is no joke, because we are training in higher elevation than what I’m used to in Florida. Getting away from the distractions at home has been relaxing. I’ve been getting great sparring and my timing is right on point. Las Vegas is definitely the place to be for high level sparring and training.

On fighting in Southern California for the second time in his career:

I really like fighting on the west coast. The fans are great, and the weather is beautiful. I know we’ll be fighting outdoors so I’m looking forward to that. Everyone knows this venue has hosted some really good fights. I’m looking to steal the show on Saturday night.

I’m well prepared for this fight, I’ve had a great camp with Robert Garcia. I have a tough unbeaten opponent who’s really good. I just have to prove I’m better on Saturday night.

 

 

 

I’m so excited to be finally fighting in Texas and I’ve gotten so much love and support already from this city. I can’t wait to give these fans a show.

 

 

 

This is the kind of fight that I can really display my skills. I’m going to show everyone the same heart that I always do, combined with some skills that Robert Garcia has helped get.

 

 

 

I’m going to be prepared for anything on Saturday. Cruz is unbeaten and that brings its own kind of mentality. I know I have what it takes to conquer this challenge and fight the best in the division.

 

 

 

This is going to be a textbook Josesito Lopez performance. I’m going to fight my hardest from bell to bell and take this victory home with me.

 

MIGUEL CRUZ

 

 

 

El Paso has been great to me and I’ve really enjoyed my time here. I’m in this city to fight. I’m here to come and prove myself in this welterweight division.

 

 

 

I have respect for what Josesito’s done in the game, but at the end of the day, this is the premier division in boxing. I feel I’m one of the best guys at 147 and I’ll be here for a while. I’m going to be a force.

 

 

 

I know Josesito is bringing the fight and I promise you I’m bringing it as well. I will come out on top. This is a can’t miss fight for sure.

 

 

 

I have to be smart and execute my game plan round after round. My jab will be key and if I can use that and wear him down to the body, I think I’ll have a great chance to stop him.

 

 

 

I know what it takes to win at this level now. I’ve gotten better each fight and I think my time is now. People are going to know my name after Saturday night.

 

ANTHONY Dirrell

 

 

 

I plan on going in there and getting the victory. I know Han is a great fighter who will bring the best out of me. That’s what I need right now.

 

 

 

Come Saturday it’s going to be just another fight for me. I take everybody seriously. I know that anything can happen in that ring. I prepared well for this fight and I’m ready to get the win.

 

 

 

Everyone knows that I’m a championship-caliber fighter and I’ll prove it again on Saturday. Na deze strijd, I’m ready to take on any of the super middleweight champions. I’ll beat any of them.

 

 

 

I’m the best fighter that he’s ever going to fight and he will see that on Saturday. I’m going to leave no doubt.

 

ABRAHAM HAN

 

 

 

I’ve fought in many other people’s backyards so being able to fight here in my hometown is amazing. I turn it up to a different level here. The crowd will give me a big boost in energy and it’s going to help me get the win.

 

 

 

I hope the sports fans of El Paso come out and watch me put on a great performance. I know the type of challenge I have in front of me, but I also know that I have the skills to pull this off.

 

 

 

 

This is a great opportunity to show people outside of El Paso what kind of fighter I really am. I have a lot of experience and I’ve fought all over, but I don’t know if I’ve ever been more prepared for a fight.

 

 

 

Anthony Dirrell is a great champion but I’m a champion of this city. This is my chance to take down a big name and move to the next level of the sport.

 

JORGE LARA

 

 

 

I’m going to leave the ring Saturday night with my hand raised. I’ve had a wonderful training camp and I prepared perfectly for this fight. It will show on fight night.

 

 

 

Marrero better be ready, because I’m going to come at him and look for the kill early. I want to make a statement and I’ll go through him to make it.

 

 

 

I’m very focused and ready to take home this win on Saturday night. The fans are going to love my style and the heart that I fight with.

 

CLAUDIO MARRERO

 

 

 

I hope that Jorge Lara is ready to fight on Saturday night. This is going to be a battle and I know that we’ll both leave everything in the ring.

 

 

 

I prepared well for this fight because I know that everything is on the line for me. I have to be victorious so I can go on and get where I want to in boxing.

 

 

 

I’m more skilled and more experienced than anyone that Lara has faced and on Saturday night I’m going to give him lots of problems.

Here is what the fighters had to say Wednesday from Wolves Den Gym in El Paso:

 

Josesito LOPEZ

 

 

 

Having Robert Garcia in my corner has given me the training and preparation of an elite fighter. It’s a big difference. He’s one of the best trainers in the world and I’m going to help show that on Saturday.

 

 

 

I’ve been training with Robert for quite some time now. I’ve been getting sharp working with other elite fighters in the gym. It’s kept me on my toes and that’s what I needed.

 

 

 

Cruz is tough, he’s undefeated and he comes focused to win. He’s a good fighter but I’m here this week to prove that I’m a better fighter.

 

 

 

Experience will definitely play a big part. But I also don’t think he’s faced anyone with the skills I have. All of my losses are to great fighters. I feel like I’ve taken a big step forward here.

 

 

 

It feels great to be headlining in El Paso on FOX and FOX Deportes. I bring exciting fights and I’m always in wars. Saturday will be no different.

 

 

 

I’m really excited to finally be fighting in Texas, it’s something I’ve looked for and asked about for many years. Texas holds a big piece of my heart and I’m ready to give the fans here a show on Saturday.

 

MIGUEL CRUZ

 

 

 

This was an excellent training camp. It was a hard camp. It was extensive but I got through it and it has me feeling very prepared. It was absolutely the most strenuous camp I’ve had. I always train hard, but this one in particular, I had extra motivation.

 

 

 

To get the win I need to use my jab and work the body. There are more aspects of it, but those two things are essential for me winning this fight.

 

 

 

I’ve fought a lot of good, jong, strong fighters recently. Past a certain level you learn that you can’t just knock everybody out. You learn to weather the storm and use your energy more efficiently. I’ve learned a lot about myself as a fighter.

 

 

 

Josesito throws looping punches. That’s tough because it’s a bit unconventional. He throws looping punches that can take away your equilibrium. He’s got a lot of experience and that’s definitely a major factor in what I’ve been preparing for.

 

 

 

It feels great to be on this stage, but at the same time I know I earned my spot to be here. I remember watching Josesito fighting in 2011 over de Mayweather vs. Ortiz undercard and I knew right then that I was going to be in the ring with these guys.

 

ANTHONY Dirrell

 

 

 

I had a great, eight-week long training camp with great sparring. I feel good and I’m ready to fight for sure.

 

 

 

I know that Han is a warrior. He’s rugged and that’s why I chose to fight him here in his backyard. I know that he’s going to bring a fight for me.

 

 

 

It’s just going to be me and him in the ring. The audience can’t help him. All his fans can’t help him. Coaches can only help him between rounds. I’m going to block everything else out and just focus on him.

 

 

 

I just need to stick to what we worked on in training camp. We have to implement those strategies and you’ll see it come Saturday night.

 

 

 

I’m a better, stronger and wiser fighter these days. I’ve been through a lot to stay in world title contention. Everybody knows how badly I want my title back. Op Zaterdag, everyone will see that I’m a champion. I’m ready for anyone with a belt.

 

ABRAHAM HAN

 

 

 

I’m so happy to be fighting at home on this big stage. In many ways this is a dream come true and something that’s been a long time coming. I can’t wait to perform in front of my people.

 

 

 

I know I’m the underdog versus Dirrell but that doesn’t bother me at all. I always train to be better than anyone expects me to be. This fight will be no difference.

 

 

 

This is a big fight for me and I’ve been training so hard to put on a great show for my hometown fans. This is a great fight town and I’m going to give the fans something to cheer about.

 

JORGE LARA

 

 

 

I’m so excited to get in the ring. I’m still eating right now leading up to the weigh-in and I feel ready to go. I’m eager to step into the ring.

 

 

 

I’m not worried about Claudio Marrero. I’m just staying loose and focused on what I have to do. Marrero has to focus on me because he’s never fought a guy like me. I’m going to stay loose and bring the fight to him.

 

 

 

The world title is my destiny. This is one shot closer to a world title. I’m highly ranked but the champions don’t want to give me a chance. So I will have to fight my way there.

 

 

 

I’m like a dog going after a bone in the ring. Ik wil gewoon vechten. I’m here to take the fight right to him.

 

CLAUDIO MARRERO

 

 

 

It was a very hard training camp like always. I take it very seriously and I’m ready for this fight on Saturday night.

 

 

 

I know I’m facing a tough Mexican fighter who will leave it all in the ring. We worked very hard on a plan for him.

 

 

 

He must be mistaken if he thinks I’ve never seen a fighter like him before. It’s the other way around. He’ll definitely know what level I’m on after Saturday night.

 

 

 

My style is to both come forward, but have the ability to move backward. It’s all about what the fight dictates and what my corner wants.
