Here is what the press conference participants had to say Sunday:

Manny Pacquiao

“There were a lot of opportunities for me to pick an easier fight than this. But I picked Errol Spence Jr. because I want a real fight and a great fight for the fans. I’m a fighter and boxing is my passion.

“Errol Spence Jr. is aggressive, young and undefeated. He’s dedicated to his career. This is definitely not an easy opponent. This is the kind of opponent you can never underestimate.

“It’s been a long time since I fought a southpaw opponent. We had to change some of our strategy compared to previous fights and we’ll throw some different combinations.

“I don’t think Errol needs advice from Floyd Mayweather. I believe that Errol is a better fighter than Mayweather. Errol can teach Floyd how to fight toe-to-toe.

“I don’t want to be overconfident, because Errol is too good of an opponent. His determination and passion for the sport is always there. When I say I’m going to do something, it’s real and from the heart, it’s not to impress anybody.

“I had started training in the last week of May in the Philippines. So when I got here to Los Angeles, I was just continuing what I was doing. It’s good for me to have the rest that I’ve had the last two years. I’ve been boxing since I was 12 years old until now. When I went back to training, I was still hungry and dedicated.

“I won’t predict another first round knockdown like I had against Thurman. I’m focusing my mind, body and spirit on winning the fight. That’s the only goal.
“This is one of the biggest challenges in my career. I can’t say it’s the biggest, because I’ve been fighting the best fighters in the world for years. But he’s right up there with anyone I’ve faced.

“I’ve been boxing for more than 25 careers as a pro. I think that I’ve seen every kind of style that’s out there.

“This is a one of a kind and prodigious fight. There’s going to be a lot of action in the ring. I’m so thankful for everyone who supports me and I’m happy to be in this position again fighting one of the best fighters in the world.”

ERROL SPENCE JR.

“This is a great opportunity. Coming off of my accident I went right to fighting Danny Garcia and now Pacquiao. A lot of people were in the Pacquiao sweepstakes. When I got the call about this fight, I agreed right away and didn’t give it a second thought.

“There aren’t that many southpaws in boxing, so you don’t usually spar that many. We’ve got a lot of guys in camp now who can fight that left-handed style. Obviously I can’t find someone who fights exactly like Manny, but you can find guys who can mimic the tempo and pace. So that’s who we’ve been working with.

“You can see that Manny is still an explosive fighter with great speed. We’ve been putting together a game plan and we’ve been working on implementing it. Come August 21, you’ll see it in the ring.

“Manny can lull you to sleep giving you compliments. Mutta kun kello soi, he’s going to jump all over you.

“My chin since the accident has been tested in sparring and in the Danny Garcia fight. I imagine Manny is going to try to come in and test it as well.

“Just because he’s 42-years-old I don’t think it’s going to hurt him in training. He’s not blowing up in weight between fights and he’s not distracted. That’s why he’s been the same Manny Pacquiao for decades. I’m looking forward to the same Pacquiao who fought Keith Thurman and before that.

“Manny has a lot of tendencies, of course you’re going to see some things over the span of his whole career. When it’s time to buckle down, you know he’s the guy who’s going to fight. It can be a pro or a con, but he’s going to make it a fan-friendly fight.

“I don’t see myself ever getting knocked out. I just don’t see it. We’re going to be mindful that he has power. He knocked down Thurman and hurt him with a body shot. We’ll keep that in mind. But I’m not thinking about if he can knock me out.

“I have the ability to finish Pacquiao. Minulle vaikka, I’m focused on winning the fight. If you rush and go for the knockout, you either look sloppy or something goes wrong. I have to fight my fight and at my pace. Jos tyrmäys tulee, I’ll go for it.

“This is going to be a great fight. Pacquiao is going to bring it like he always does, but I’m definitely going to come through with the victory.”

Jätä kommentti

Beverly Hills, Kalifornia. (Huhtikuu 25,2018) – kevyt haastaja Mason Menard (33-2, 24 KOs) is training very hard for his upcoming battle with undefeated Devin Haney (18-0, 12 KOs) that will headline a ShoBox: New Generation kortti, elää Showtime (10 PM ET / PT) perjantaina, May 11th at The 2300 Arena Philadelphiassa.

 

 

 

 

Menard has set up training camp in Dallas, Texas for this important battle, which is now for the USBA Lightweight title.

 

 

 

“Training Camp is Dallas is going great. I’m feeling comfortable with my new team around me, and being around elite guys in the gym like Errol Spence, Jermell Charlo, Rob Brant and Cem Kilic has made me a better fighter,” said Menard. “My only real loss was to world champion Ray Beltran. May 11th can’t come soon enough because I am ready to show the boxing world that Devin Haney is taking too big of a step up, and I am back.”

 

 

 

This will be the first bout with new Manager, Shane Shapiro of No Limit Mindset Management.

 

 

 

 

“I am excited for Mason’s return to the ring. With a new management team around him, a repaired shoulder, an elite trainer and quality sparring partners, fight fans will see an improved Mason Menard on May 11th,” said Shapiro, CEO of No Limit Mindset. “I truly believe that being in the gym with guys like Errol Spence and Jermell Charlo for entire camp will bring out the best in Mason. Devin Haney is a great fighter, and has a lot of hype around him, but come fight night, he will realize that he took too big of a step up in opposition.”

 

 

 

 

Menard is promoted by Greg Cohen Promotions.

Voittamaton 2012 Olympic Bronze medal winner looking for fights with Thurman, Kuluminen, Spence, Garcia or Horn-Crawford winner
PHILADELPHIA, PENN./ORANGE, Kalifornia. (Maaliskuu. 1, 2018)- Undefeated and world ranked welterweight contender Taras Shelestyuk is ready to go big game hunting in 2018.
The 2012 Olympic Bronze medal winner from Sumy, Ukraina, who now fights out of Los Angeles, Kalifornia, has won the major regional titles, and he feels he has been overlooked by the perceived elite of the 147 punta jako.
Shelestyuk, 16-0 kanssa 10 aihiot, continues to work on his craft while he waits for a major fight to materialize.
“I want to fight Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter, Errol Spence or the winner of the Jeff Horn – Terence Crawford fight,” Said Shelestyuk.
“I know that I have the skills and pedigree to beat those guys. I just need my opportunity, and I know that will be coming soon. I have been working hard in the gym, and I sparred with Viktor Ortiz for his bout with Devon Alexander, as well as WBA Super Welterweight Champion Brian Castano.”
Shelestyuk also has been helping with the career of his wife Alina. Alina is a runway model, who has done numerous photo shoots in Los Angeles.
Shelestyuk is co-promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing.

Kell Brook Defends IBF Welterweight World Championship Against Errol Spence Jr. Elää Showtime® At 5:15 p.m. JA/2:15 p.m. PT

NEW YORK (Toukokuu 25, 2017) – SHOWTIME Sports will offer a fully-produced Facebook and YouTube live stream of George Groves vs. Fedor Chudinov Super Middleweight World Championship bout this Saturday, Toukokuu 27 from Sheffield, Englanti. Groves vs. Chudinov will serve as a prelude to the long-awaited SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® main event—the welterweight championship bout between British World Champion Kell Brook and undefeated American challenger Errol Spence Jr., which will air live on SHOWTIME at 5:15 p.m. JA/2:15 p.m. PT.

Live coverage of Groves vs. Chudinov will be provided by Sky Sports Box Office with sportscasters Adam Smith and Carl Froch and will begin at approximately 4:30 p.m. JA/1:30 p.m. PT exclusively in the U.S. on SHOWTIME Sports Facebookpage and the SHOWTIME Sports YouTube kanava. Fans can follow all SHOWTIME Sports social accounts (SHOsports) lauantaina afternoon for the precise start time to Groves vs. Chudinov following undercard action from Bramall Lane stadium in Sheffield, Englanti. These platforms will be geo-blocked for U.S. vain.

“When we saw the opportunity to deliver this great super middleweight championship fight to the U.S. yleisö, we jumped at it,” said Executive Vice President and General Manager of SHOWTIME Sports, Stephen Espinoza. “We thank Matchroom Sport for making it possible for us to carry this bonus coverage to the U.S. Doing so compliments our robust digital and social media content plan serving boxing fans online and attracting new ones. This further demonstrates our unrivaled commitment to the sport. No one is making a more significant and impactful contribution to boxing’s momentum than SHOWTIME.”

Former three-time title challenger Groves and former champ Chudinov (14-1, 10 KOs) will meet for the vacant WBA Super Middleweight World Championship in a matchup of the WBA’s No. 1 ja o. 2 challengers in a co-featured bout at Bramall Lane.

Groves (25-3, 18 KOs) has won four straight since teaming up with 2016 Trainer of the Year Shane McGuigan following a close split-decision loss to then-WBC Champion Badou Jack in 2015. The only other blemishes on his record came in title challenges to long-time 168-pound champ Carl Froch.

“I believe this is the best opportunity for me to achieve my dream and become world champion,” Groves said earlier this week. “Time is on my side. I had a good year last year, and I’m in a good place. I’ve put in the work, ja nyt, I need to make this count.

“Everything that’s happened in the past has just made me more determined. I know the pressure is on, and I can’t afford to make any more mistakes. This might be my best chance to win a world title, but it could also be my last.”

Chudinov (14-1, 10 KOs) originally won the WBA Super Middleweight Title with a split-decision victory over Felix Sturm in 2015 and made one successful defense before losing via controversial majority decision in a rematch with Sturm in 2016. Sturm later vacated the belt due to injury, opening up the opportunity for Chudinov to win back his title lauantaina against Groves. Chudinov is ranked No. 1 by the WBA while Groves is ranked No. 2.

SHEFFIELD (Toukokuu 24) – Kell Brook will make his fourth IBF Welterweight World Title defense against U.S. star Errol Spence Jr. at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England this Lauantai toukokuu 27, elää Showtime (5:15 p.m. JA / 2:15 p.m. PT).

 

Puro (36-1, 25 KOs) and mandatory challenger Spence, (21-0, 18 KOs), clash on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING in one of the biggest fights in the 147-pound division, and the elite pairing are promising to deliver an electric night of action.

 

Both fighters participated in a public media workout today, Keskiviikko, at Peace Gardens in Sheffield, Englanti. Below is what they had to say:

 

KELL BROOK

“We are going to rock Sheffield lauantaina yö. Olen valmis, I’m pumped, En voi odottaa.

 

“There is a lot of pressure but I always perform better under pressure. I’m meant to be on the big stage, I’m ready for the pressure and to see the bright lights.

 

"[Errol Spence] is a serious dude from America, he’s a young hungry lion, but he’s not beaten anyone like me. I’m a champion and I’ve been a champion. I’m defending. I know both sides of the coin, I’ve prepared very well.

 

“I’m ready for a war. And that’s what you’re going to see – a war Lauantai yö. There are going to be two winners Lauantai yö: that is going to be myself and everyone watching.

 

“There’s no way he can beat me. I’m a man possessed and I have a serious job to do. This is my night to shine.

 

“I love it [being the underdog]. I was born for it. People don’t have me winning this fight, but that just gives me the extra energy I need to go out and prove them all wrong.

 

“This guy is a talented guy, but he’s never been tested. He’s never been in with someone who is so determined like me. Who’s bigger, vahvempi, who has all this energy, who’s meant for this game, who’s meant to be a winner. He hasn’t been in with someone with that mindset, and that’s what I’m coming to bring lauantaina.

 

“All the hard work has been done. The talking will stop; we’re ready to let some fireworks fly now.

 

“I can see us both maybe hitting the canvas. You’re going to be on the edge of your seat from round one. He’s not going to take a backwards step, and I’m not [jompikumpi]. All I can say is it’s going to be a thriller.

 

“I’ve arrived. Se unelma. It’s going to be so perfect for me that night to walk out and just see everyone. The electricity is going to be phenomenal.”

 

ERROL SPENCE JR.

 

“This is my time, this is my era. This is my time to shine. This is my time to get the belts, this is my time to unify and become the undisputed welterweight champion of the world. This is just another stepping stone to get to where I want to be.

 

"Olen 100 prosenttia valmis, Olen 100 percent focused, and I’m 100 percent ready to give the fans what they want, which is a real great fight.

 

“I can’t let the fans get to me. I’m not worried about him having his hometown fans. Eventually everyone will be my fans by the end of the night.

 

“I don’t feel the pressure at all. I feel like there is more pressure on him because he’s fighting at home. Of course there’s pressure on me to win, but I welcome that pressure. It’s going to do nothing but motivate me, make me more hungry and make we want to win even more.

 

“You just have to have that ‘it’ factor, and I think I have it. I’m not worried about the crowd, I’m not worried about the boos or anything like that.

 

“It’s a good step-up. Kell Brook is a good fighter, he has great skills. I welcome this step-up – I’ve been asking for it for a long time and I’m finally getting my opportunity.

 

“My confidence comes from my hard work. I know the hours and time that I put in the gym.”

 

“This is an ideal situation. I would be disappointed if I was fighting someone else because he vacated. Olen todellinen taistelija, Haluan taistella paras, I want to fight the champion and earn it the right way. I can’t wait to prove I am one of the best fighters in the welterweight division.

 

“I’ve been on the USA team for a long time. Kuten amatööri, representing U.S. in the Olympics and as a pro having this USA patch on me and fighting for my country. Tunnen Lauantai is kind of like a USA vs UK battle. And U.S.A. is going to win.”

NYKYINEN & ENNEN WELTERWEIGHT-VALIOT PAINO KELL BROOKISSA vs.. ERROL SPENCE IBF 147-PUNAINEN MAAILMANMESTARI TÄMÄ LAUANTA LIVE SHOWTIME®

Jätä kommentti

 

Sugar-sokerihalli Ray Leonard, Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter & Lisää keskustele uusimmista sarjoista, joissa keskipainoinen menestys

 

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP NYRKKEILY® Live At 5:15 p.m. JA/2:15 p.m. PT Bramall Lanelta Sheffieldissä, Englanti

 

NEW YORK (Toukokuu 23, 2017) - IBF: n keskipainoinen maailmanmestari Kell Brook ja voittamaton nouseva tähti Errol Spence kohtaavat lauantaina elää Showtime (5:15 p.m. JA/2:15 p.m. PT) viimeisimmässä sarjassa merkittäviä keskipainoisia otteluita parhaiden taistelijoiden välillä yhdessä nyrkkeilyn syvimmistä divisioonista.

 

Kuusi maailman kahdeksasta parhaasta keskipainosta * on taistellut vuoden viiden ensimmäisen kuukauden aikana 2017 - kaikki SHOWTIME- tai CBS-tilassa - koska tosiasiallisesti turnaus jatkuu 147 kilon luokassa, jotta määritetään Ei. 1 hävittäjä jaossa, jota eläkkeellä oleva Floyd Mayweather hallitsee pitkään.

*Lähde: Kansainväliset nyrkkeilysijoitukset

 

WBA: n ja WBC: n keskipainoisen maailmanmestari Keith Thurman yhdisti tittelit Maaliskuu 4 jaetulla päätöksellä voitolla Danny Garcialla harvinaisessa voittamattomien mestareiden ottelussa. Lamont Peterson poimi toissijaisen WBA Regular -tittelin Helmikuu. 18, ja Huhtikuu 22 Shawn Porter pudotti Andre Berton pakolliseksi haastajaksi Thurmanin WBC-vyölle. Jäljellä oleva keskipainon mestari, Manny Pacquiao, puolustaa WBO-titteliään Jeff Hornia vastaan Heinäkuu 2.

 

Nyt on Brook ja Spence vuoro ottaa keskipiste nyrkkeilyn glamour-divisioonassa.

 

Tänä lauantaina Sheffield, Englanti, Puro (36-1, 25 KOs) tekee neljännen puolustuksen IBF - vyöstä, jonka hän voitti enemmistöpäätöksellä Porterista vuonna 2004 2014. 31-vuotias, joka ei ole koskaan kaatanut, on päättäväinen kotikaupungin suosikki sen edessä, jonka odotetaan olevan 25 000 plus fania ensimmäisessä maailmanmestaruuskilpailussa Bramall Lanen 162 vuoden historiassa.

 

27-vuotias Spence (21-0, 18 KOs) on pitkään pidetty yhtenä nyrkkeilyn arvostetuimmista näkymistä. IBF: n nro. 1 kilpailija on pudonnut kahdeksan suoraa vastustajaa ja on parantunut vastustuksensa noustessa - hänen kuudella viimeisellä vastustajallaan oli vaikuttava yhdistetty ennätys 151 voittaa vain kahdeksaa tappiota vastaan. Dallasissa asuva matkustaa ulkomaille tämän kauan odotetun tittelimahdollisuuden vuoksi, kun hän yrittää tulla ensimmäiseksi amerikkalaiseksi, joka tuhosi englantilaisen Britannian maalla lähes vuosikymmenen aikana. **

 

Sekä Spence että Brook vahvistavat aikomuksensa yhtenäistää jako jälkeen Toukokuu 27, katso alla, mistä legendaarinen Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard ja nykyiset huippupelipainot sanovat Lauantain IBF-tittelin ottelu.

 

SUGAR RAY LEONARD - Entinen kiistaton keskipainoisen maailmanmestari

“Olen todella innoissani tästä taistelusta, lähinnä siksi, että molempien taistelijoiden on oltava A-pelissä. Tiedän, että Kellin silmäleikkaus on psykologinen ongelma, mutta henkilökohtaisesta kokemuksesta, En näe, että näin olisi. En koskaan ajatellut silmääni, kun lääkäri antoi minulle vihreän valon.

 

"Kysyä minulta, kuka voittaa tämän taistelun, Minulla on suosikkini Errol Spencessä. Mutta, kunkin taistelijan fyysisen tykistön perusteella, yksi booli voi kääntää pöydät ympäri. Tästä huolimatta, Aion istua alas ja katsella hienoa yötä nyrkkeilyä. "

 

KEITH THURMAN - yhtenäinen WBA & WBC: n keskipainoinen maailmanmestari

”Tämä on mielenkiintoinen taistelu. En ole seurannut Kellia liikaa, mutta olen selvästi nähnyt Errolin taistelevan Yhdysvalloissa. Errol on kova, nuori taistelija, joka on vasta yleisön silmissä, ja Kellillä on ilmeisesti brittiläisen väkijoukon vahvuus hänen puolellaan.

 

"Sen pitäisi olla kova taistelu, joka todella puhuu keskipaino-divisioonan vahvuuteen. Molemmat taistelijat ovat miehiä, jotka olisin avoin taisteluille, kun jatkan jaon yhtenäistämistä 2018. Taistelun faneina, Katsotaanpa, mikä on Kell Brookin ”erikoista”, ja näemme, pystyykö Errol Spence näyttämään meille olevansa "Totuus". Sen pitäisi olla hieno taistelu, ja minä katson. "

 

DANNY GARCIA - Entinen keskisarjan maailmanmestari

“Mielestäni tämä on 50/50 taistelu. Luulen, että henkilö, jolla on parempi pelisuunnitelma, voittaa. Spencein tapaan jonkun takapihalle menossa on paljon paineita, ja hän ei ole koskaan aikaisemmin kohdannut taistelijaa parhaimmillaan. Se on ehdottomasti testi hänelle ja iso askel kilpailussa. Jos hän on valmis, hän voi tehdä sen. Hänen täytyy vain mennä sinne ja pysyä keskittyneenä.

 

“Keskipaino on paras nyrkkeilyosasto. Minusta tuntuu edelleen olevani yksi parhaista keskipainoista maailmassa, vaikka tulin lyhyeksi. En koskaan ajatellut sanovan, että menetys tekisi minusta vahvemman, koska en nähnyt itseni häviävän. Haluan nimeni takaisin ja että minua pidetään parhaana parhaassa divisioonassa.”

 

SHAWN PORTER - Entinen keskisarjan mestari & Nykyinen WBC-numero. 1 Haastaja

"Olen iloinen siitä, että Errol saa tittelinsä, ja olen iloinen siitä, että hän menee Englantiin sen vuoksi. Olen ilmeisesti vetämässä amerikkalaista. Errol on ilmiömäinen urheilija ja loistava nyrkkeilijä. Luulen, että hän on valmis näyttämään maailmalle jotain, mutta Kell on oikeassa tuossa huipputason painoissa. Virittyvien ihmisten tulisi olla innoissaan. Tiedän, että odotan sitä innolla.

 

”Keskipaino-jako on mahtava, ylhäältä alas. Olemme oikeassa siellä missä meidän täytyy olla ja pitäisi olla. PBC: llä palanneet massat nyrkkeily oli täydellinen aika minulle ja muille huipputason painoille. Meitä on niin paljon, että pystymme voittamaan tittelin juuri nyt. "

 

LAMONT PETERSON - WBA (Säännöllinen) Keskipainoinen maailmanmestari

"Tästä tulee kova taistelu, mutta mielestäni Errolin pitäisi voittaa. Ainakin vedon Errolin voittoon. Hänen on voitettava ajatus, että todennäköisesti tulee olemaan 30,000 ihmiset huutavat häntä vastaan, joten hänen on näytettävä tuomareille, että hän ansaitsee voiton.

 

"Brook on hyvä taistelija ja tuo parhaansa, mutta luulen Errol, lopussa, on parempi taistelija. Mutta hänen on todistettava se.

 

“Keskipaino-divisioona on yksi parhaista nyrkkeilyssä tällä hetkellä. Meillä on paljon hyviä taistelijoita parhaimmillaan, mikä tekee divisioonasta vahvan. Ja kaverit ovat valmiita taistelemaan toisiaan vastaan. Näemme sellaisia ​​taisteluita, joita fanit haluavat nähdä. Jos tämä jatkuu, se voi tuoda nyrkkeilyn takaisin sinne, missä se oli päivinä, jolloin Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns ja Marvin Hagler taistelivat toisiaan vastaan. Joten se on todella hyvä nyrkkeilyyn juuri nyt.”

ERROL SPENCE JR. REVEALS MOTIVATION AND EXPECTATIONS FOR MAY 27 FIGHT IN INTIMATE CONVERSATION WITH MARK KRIEGEL

The Reveal with Mark Kriegel: Errol Spence Jr.:http://s.sho.com/2pRC3wr

Video/Photo Credit: SHOWTIME

Undefeated welterweight Errol Spence Jr. sat down with SHOWTIME Sports®reporter Mark Kriegel prior to his highly anticipated world championship match against Kell Brook Lauantai, Toukokuu 27 elää Showtime® (5:15 p.m. JA/2:15 p.m. PT) from Bramall Lane in Sheffield. The interview is the latest in a reoccurring SHOWTIME Sports digital series, THE REVEAL with Mark Kriegel, featuring exclusive and in-depth interviews with boxing greats.

IBF: n nro. 1-ranked mandatory challenger at 147 kiloa, Spence opens up about his first knockout, injuring past sparring partners Adrien Broner and Charles Hatley, giving Floyd Mayweather a black eye and much more.

 

Below are bites from the interview:

 

KRIEGEL: That feeling when you knock someone out; it’s addictive is it not?

 

SPENCE JR.: “Who doesn’t love knockouts? That’s the ultimate way to win in boxing, by knockout.”

 

KRIEGEL: You’ve been the most talked-about talent in boxing for a good while. Why is that?

 

SPENCE JR: “I think it’s the way I fight, knocking people out and in the ring I’m passive-aggressive… I don’t come at people reckless, I take my time, I break my opponent down. I am the sweet science.”

 

KRIEGEL: Do you think this is the fight that announces Errol Spence?

 

SPENCE JR.: “I think so… I’m willing to prove to everybody that I am that guy”

KELL BROOK TO DEFEND IBF WELTERWEIGHT TITLE AGAINST UNDEFEATED ERROL SPENCE ON SATURDAY, MAY 27 Live On SHOWTIME®

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP NYRKKEILY® Live From Bramall Lane In Sheffield, Englanti

 

Kell Brook will defend his IBF World Welterweight title against U.S. star Errol Spence at Bramall Lane in Sheffield on Lauantai toukokuu 27, live on Sky Sports Box Office and live on SHOWTIME in the U.S. on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.

 

Brook makes the fourth defense of his beloved IBF strap he landed in the U.S. elokuussa 2014 with a career-best win over Shawn Porter. He then blitzed Jo Jo Dan, Frankie Gavin and Kevin Bizier before stepping up to middleweight to face fearsome Kazakh Gennady Golovkin at The O2 in September. Nyt, the Sheffield star welcomes another unbeaten superstar into the ring.

 

Undefeated Spence became the mandatory challenger for Brook’s belt when he blasted Leonard Bundu inside six rounds in August, the eighth straight stoppage win for the Texas-based New Yorker who destroyed Chris Algieri inside four rounds two months earlier.

 

Brook and Spence now clash in one of the biggest fight in the 147-pound division, and the elite pairing are promising to deliver an electric night at the home of Sheffield United FC.

 

“I’m so excited about this fight and also about making history in my city,"Sanoi Brook. “It’s long been a dream of mine to fight outdoors at Bramall Lane and I’m pleased to do that in the biggest fight in the welterweight division. I saw many people talk about how I would avoid Errol Spence – they don’t know me, they don’t know what I’m about. All I’ve ever wanted to do is to give the fans the fights they want and they have it right here on Toukokuu 27. I’m going to show the world that I’m the best welterweight on the planet and I’m going to do it right before my people’s eyes.”

 

“I’m happy I’m finally getting an opportunity to accomplish a lifelong dream of becoming a world champion,”Sanoi Spence. “I feel that this is one of the best and biggest fights in world boxing and I am 100 percent focused and determined to bring the belt back home to the U.S. Päällä Toukokuu 27, I will be more than ready.”

 

“This is one of the best fights in world boxing,” said Brook’s promoter Eddie Hearn. “Many believed that Kell Brook would look to avoid Errol Spence but he is a proud man who never ducks a challenge. Coming off the fight with GGG this is an extremely tough fight to come back to but I believe Kell Brook is the best welterweight in the world and he will have the chance to prove it on Toukokuu 27. It’s ‘The Special One’ vs ‘The Truth’, a historic event at Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane – we are planning an unforgettable night.”

 

“This is great news for Kell and Sheffield United,” said Sheffield United director Scott McCabe. “We have been working with Matchroom for some time to bring this high profile fight to our Bramall Lane stadium where we have exciting plans to stage further significant events utilising the high standard facilities that have been developed by the Club in recent years.”

Tickets go on general sale at 10 a.m. päällä Perjantai, Maaliskuu 31 via the Sheffield United FC Box Office.
