Сабота, Декември 1 Живеат на Showtime PPV® од
Стејплс центар & Овозможено од Премиер бокс шампионите

ЛОС АНЏЕЛЕС (Ноември 27, 2018) – As fight week in Los Angles kicks off, heavyweights of the past and present have spoken, and the majority believe Deontay Wilder’s pure punching power will be enough to defeat the highly-skilled Тајсон бес во саботата, Декември 1 on SHOWTIME PPV®.

 

 

 

Some of the greatest heavyweight names in the history of boxing weighed-in on what will be the biggest heavyweight title fight in the U.S. since Mike Tyson took on Lennox Lewis in 2002. The SHOWTIME PPV begins at 9 вечер. ЕТ / 6 вечер. PT from STAPLES Center in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

Билети за настан, што го промовираат BombZquad Enterprises и Queensberry Promotions, во соработка со TGB Promotions и DiBella Entertainment, are on sale now and are available via AXS.com. Вајлдер vs. Fury ќе се произведува и дистрибуира од SHOWTIME PPV. Предложената малопродажна цена (САМО) за телекастот за плаќање по преглед е $64.99 за стандардна дефиниција.

 

 

 

Here is what the current and former heavyweight greats had to say about the Wilder vs. Fury matchup:

 

MIKE TYSON:

 

 

“Although Wilder’s punch is strong, nothing can compare to the mental strength Fury has shown both in and out of the ring. It’ll be a close call, but I think Fury’s got a true fighting chance.”

 

ЕВАНДЕР Холифилд:

 

 

“Тоа е голема борба. Fury’s got a lot of skills, he’s awkward and he has long arms. He has good reflexes and is a strong counter-puncher. Deontay needs to be first and he can’t wait on Tyson. Tyson’s always been the bigger fighter. In fighting Deontay it’s the same case. If things get difficult, тој е (бес) got more experience and a lot of tricks. I think with Deontay’s power, he might be able to end it early, but if Tyson can frustrate him and it goes the distance, then it could go his way.”

Ленокс Луис:

 

 

“If it goes the distance then it belongs to Tyson Fury. If it’s a short fight it will belong to Deontay Wilder. This is an epic and most-unpredictable showdown. I can’t wait for this fight.”

GEORGE FOREMAN:

 

 

“I am a big fan of Deontay Wilder and I was impressed with Tyson Fury and how he avoided the big shots against Wladimir Klitschko. I can see him going 12 rounds with Wilder because of his height and reach.

 

 

 

“The great thing about this fight is that we’re all talking about it. I think Wilder wins a close decision.”

 

РИДДИК КУEА:

 

 

“If Wilder comes out and means business then he should beat Fury with ease. My prediction is Wilder by knockout!”

 

GЕРИ КОНЕЈ:

 

 

“Деонтај Вајлдер против. Tyson Fury is a very interesting fight. I love Tyson Fury. I think he’s a remarkable self-promoter, and he did a great job with Wladimir Klitschko, using his feints and throwing Klitschko off his game plan. Deontay is a different kind of fighter, иако. Fury fights at 30 милји на час. Deontay fights at 100 милји на час. Значи, when Deontay catches Fury and gets ahold of him I think it’s going to be over. I admire Fury, but I think he’s barking up the wrong tree with this fight. I think the bottom line is that Deontay is a whole different type of beast. He comes in aggressive and finishes his opponents. I hate to pick, but somebody has to lose. I’m picking Deontay by knockout and I think it ends inside of four or five rounds.”

 

LUIS ORTIZ

 

 

“If Fury decides he wants to dip and dive and move, then he can extend the fight. But it’s all up to Wilder. If Fury decides he wants to come to the middle of the ring and fight, then it’s going to be over quick. Wilder is going to catch him. Предвидување: Wilder by KO.”

Крис Ареола:

 

 

“I think Wilder fighting Ortiz and now Fury back-to-back gives the fans exciting fights. I like both Wilder and Fury, but for this fight I am leaning slightly toward Wilder to win.”

Цитати & СЛИКИ ОД ИНДУКТЕТОТ НА NYУЈСБХОФ

 


(L-R) – Рон McNair, Akeејк Родригез и Боб Дафи
Jејк Родригез: “Сакам да му се заблагодарам на Ринг 8 за можноста да бидам тука. Исто така, би сакал да и се заблагодарам на мојата сопруга што секогаш беше тука за мене, и мојот тренер.”

(L-R) – Херб Голдман, Дон Мајески и Боб Дафи
Билка Голдман: “Ако сум дал придонес во боксот – Се надевам дека имам – Јас тоа го направив со редефинирање на водење евиденција и создавање на нова перспектива во историјата на боксот. Горд сум на тоа, но јас не го сторив тоа сам.”
(L-R) – Џо MESI, Jackек Хирш и Боб Дафи
JOО МЕСИ: “Имам толку многу луѓе да им се заблагодарам за оваа чест. Јас сум Буфалонец. Никој повеќе не е во прилог на еден Newујорк, но не е. Ова е специјално за мене затоа што е Куќа на славните во Stateујорк. Ова ме зацврстува и ме тера да мислам дека не сум само локално момче. Имаше огромна неповолност од еден мал град, Спарингот не беше ист како во теретаните во Newујорк, но имав предност што доаѓав од Западен Newујорк. Никој не се развиваше како што правевме во Бафало 10,000, тогаш 16,00 и, конечно 18,000 луѓе. Тие секогаш беа зад мене и ова го споделувам со нив затоа што ме натера нивната поддршка. Мојот сон беше да се борам во Бафало и да продолжам да се борам таму.
“Еден од главните моменти во мојот живот беше борбата против Монте Барет на HBO во Медисон Сквер Гарден. Тој беше еден од најголемите борци во светот кој се бореше за светската титула. Отсекогаш сакав да ја шутирам светската титула, но јас никогаш не го добив тоа. Тоа е во ред, Бев малку горчлив некое време, но не можев да бидам посреќен со мојата кариера. Најдобриот дел од боксот е братството што го споделуваме.

(L-R) – Ренди Гордон, Рон Скот Стивенс и Боб Дафи
РОН СКОТ СТИВЕНС: “Знам дека луѓето секогаш го кажуваат тоа, но ова е вистината: Должам толку многу луѓе кои ме поддржуваа во текот на целата моја кариера. Боксот отсекогаш бил дома далеку од дома и денес се чувствувам како да сум дома.
“Бев 30, кои живеат во Бруклин Хајтс, и назад возејќи такси чекајќи на маси. Во главата ми светна светло: боксот е спорт на аутсајдерот и јас сум аутсајдер. Следниот ден отидов во салата Глисон – центарот на универзумот. Се пробив низ сите спортски сали во градот, промотори на состаноци, менаџери и обучувачи. Почнав да правам натпревари за промотори и тогаш Ме ангажираше Седрик Кушнер 1980-2002. Во 2002, Добив повик да работам за Државната атлетска комисија во asујорк како нејзин координатор и директор на боксот во заедницата. Тогаш, Ме направија претседател и служев два мандати. Денес, Јас сум исклучително горд што сум дел од боксерската куќа на славните во Newујорк.

(L-R) – Боб Дафи, Хенри Hascup, Боб Гудман и Томи Галагер
Боб Гудман: “Не можам да верувам во оваа толпа. Со цел да го направиме она што го правиме, жртвите и поддршката што ја добивате од вашето семејство е толку важна и (во случајот Гудман) беше толку многу години. Тие ни дозволија да го правиме она што го правиме. Сите сакаме бокс!”

(L-R) – Реј Мерсер, Пени Ален, На школо, Клеј enенкинс и Боб Дафи
НА ШКОЛО: “Мислев дека боксот е најглупав и најглуп спорт досега. Кој сакаше да добие тупаница во лицето? Доцна започнав со боксот. Играв околу некои и луѓето велеа дека сум прилично добар. Почнав да боксувам кога бев 20, во Армијата, стационирани на Фт. Хауба. Четири години подоцна, Бев во Олимпискиот тим. Причината зошто имав одличен спаринг партнер, Реј Мерсер. Ако требаше да бидам секој ден во рингот со Реј, Или требаше да бидам претепан, или подобро.
“Се сеќавам дека Боб Арум ми ја даде својата визит-карта. Не го познавав. Знаев само за три лица во боксот: Дон Кинг, Мухамед Али и Шугар Реј Леонард. Не го следев боксот и единствената причина што боксував беше дека ќе морав да спијам во шумата ако не го сторам тоа (во Армијата). Боксот е: удри го, пред да ме удри.”

(L-R) – Боби Касиди, Џуниор, Хаиме Друбин и Пит Бродски
ПЕТ БРОДСКИ: “Сакам да се заблагодарам на одборот. Јас ќе бидам 70 и започнав во бокс кога бев јас 18. Тоа создаде нова насока во мојот живот. Јас сум многу горд што сум во друштво со момци кои не зборуваа само за тоа, тие го сакаа. Ако навистина го сакате овој спорт, навистина мора да го научите. Секој човек што зачекори во рингот, плус сите работи на патиштата, време во теретана и жртвување на јадењето, го стори тоа за да бидат најдобри што можат.
“Во боксот, нема да победиш во секоја борба, но дали борец ќе победи или изгуби, ако даде 100-процентно, тој е победник. Тие работат работа, трчајте пет милји на ден, тренингот во салата, а потоа отиде дома да помине време со своето семејство. Пријателите и семејството секогаш имаат грб.”

(L-R) – Дарил Народите & Мелвина Lathan
МЕЛВИНА ЛАТАМ: “Јас сум без зборови. Прекрасно е. Ренди (поранешен претседател на NYујорк Гордон), дали се сеќавате на оваа приказна? Имаше само тројца судии и, за жал,, се јави еден болен. Седев покрај ринг без никакви одговорности. Ренди рече дека морам да работамвечерва. Реков дека не сум лиценциран и не можам да го сторам тоа. - рече Ренди, „Подигнете ја десната рака“, и тоа беше вклучено. Ме фрлија таму, но беше во ред.
“Моите најголеми достигнувања се моите деца и сопругот. Не можев да побарам подобра ситуација. И Ралф Петрило е дел од моето семејство; тој беше мојот втор команден. Имав и најдобри функционери: заменици комесари, инспектори, судии и судии. Јас не би бил тука без нив. Боб Дафи ја состави целата оваа работа. Јас лично мислам дека тој е неверојатен. Моето патување продолжува, Јас сум благословен.”

Син / татко Боб & Мареј Гудман да биде вклучен во Класа на 2018 Државата Њујорк бокс Hall of Fame

Остави коментар
Недела, Април 29, индукција вечера
Кид Чоколадо, Џејмс J. Корбет, Newек МекАлиф и Сем Тауб го предводат новиот час

(L-R) – Боб и Мареј Гудман
ЊУЈОРК (Март 26, 2018) – Доживувачи на боксот Боб Гудман и неговиот татко, на крајот Мареј Гудман, се меѓу 23 членови на Класата на 2018 се внесени во Куќата на славните во Stateујорк (NYSBHOF) на Недела Попладнето (12:30-5:30 вечер. И), Април 29.
Седмата годишна индукциска вечера на NYSBHOF ќе се одржи уште еднаш во Russo’s On The Bay во плажата Хауард, Њујорк.
Легендарен публицист во боксот, Мареј Гудман (Бронкс) го донесе својот син во слатката наука кога Боб имаше само осум години. Остатокот беше историски за Гудманс, кои и двајцата се индуктивирани во неколку Куќи на славните, вклучувајќи ја и меѓународната сала на славните во боксот.
“Ова е голема чест за мене и за татко ми,” - рече Боб. “Посакувам тој да беше жив денес да биде таму. Јас сум боксер. Имав осум години и одев на сите кампови за обука со татко ми, кој беше писател на боксот и спортски уредник за ИНС (Служба за вести Херст) услуги. Шегата е дека сум зачнат во Гросингер (Камп за обука хотел Catskill Resort). Боксот само што влезе во мојот живот. Татко ми и јас имавме некои деловни активности во промоции и односи со јавноста, сите различни видови деловни активности поврзани со спортот, но секогаш имаше бокс.
“Јас сум најсреќниот дечко на светот. Воспитан сум во правење на многу работи што ги сакав. Колку луѓе можат да го кажат тоа? Се запознав и станав пријател со eо Луис, Марсел Сердан, Шугар Реј Робинсон, Роки Грацијано, Роки Марчијано и многу други. Stayе останев во логори со недели. Getе станав да трчам со боксерите и имав шанса да бидам околу моите херои. Исто така, запознав тренери и други во боксот и подоцна фанови. Се запознав со сите. Воспитан сум во бокс, целиот мој живот беше бокс, 65 години во бизнисот.”
Боб е, можеби, најпознат како Потпретседател и стројник за Медисон Сквер Гарден (1985-1994), како и четврт век како потпретседател на боксерските операции, Стројници и директор за односи со јавноста на Дон Кинг Продукција. Тој, исто така, промовираше многу светски шампиони како претседател на сопствената компанија, Градина Државниот бокс.
“Се сеќавам дека заминував на кампови за обука со недели по ред,” со задоволство се сети 78-годишниот Гудман. “Би се сликал, пишувајте приказни секој ден и користете го мојот телекопир за да ги испратите до AP и UPI. Јас направив толку многу што ме воспитаа во бизнисот, дури и товарање на камиони со столови, прстенот, звучници и многу повеќе. Татко ми беше директор за публицитет на Интернационалниот боксерски клуб во Медисон Сквер Гарден. Јас работев таму кога бев тинејџер.
“Чест ми е што сум примен во Државната куќа на славните во Yorkујорк со татко ми и толку многу момци во боксот. Тие се разликуваат од луѓето во сите други спортови. Една од наградите што ја освоив и со која сум најмногу горд е Jејмс. Меморијална награда на Вокер за долга и заслужна услуга во боксот (BWAA во 1960).
“Имам среќа што надминав различни епохи во боксот. Тогаш беше поинаков свет, имавме 20-30 писателите остануваат со недели во кампови за обука. Се запознав со стари боксери и тренери.”

Evander Холифилд & Luis Collazo Ring 8’s Special Guest Speakers

Остави коментар
Вторник, Ноември. 21 at O’Neill’s Restaurant
In Maspeth, Њујорк
ЊУЈОРК (Ноември 15, 2017)) – Сала на Famer Evander “Реалното зделка” Холифилд and former world welterweight champion Луис Collazo will be special guest speakers at Ring 8’s next monthly meeting,Вторник ноќ, Ноември 21, at O’Neill’s Restaurant (64-21 53то Drive) in Maspeth, Њујорк,
Because a large crowd is expected, only Ring 8 members will be allowed to attend this meeting, but membership may be obtained at the door for those interested in joining Ring 8.
“Evander Holyfield is one of the few living legends in our sport,” Прстенот 8 претседател Џек Хирш рече. “Значи, you can imagine how thrilled we are to have him as a guest speaker. We had planned to present Holyfield with the Ring 8 Legends Award at our holiday banquet, but a lucrative business opportunity will prohibit him from being there that afternoon. Наместо тоа,, we will present him with that award at O’Neil’s. It says a lot about Evander that he adjusted his schedule to remain in New York to attend our meeting.
“Luis Collazo is a terrific fighter in his own right, having been a former world champion. His career seems to be on an upswing once again and we are anxious to hear about his future plans.”
Holyfield has retired as a boxer with an outstanding 44-10-2 (29 КО), but this past year he has operated a New York City-based promotional company, Real Deal Boxing. A U.S. Олимпиец, Holyfield is the only unified world cruiserweight champion, as well as a four-time heavyweight champion of the world.
He had a 16-7-2 record in world title fights and won 19 на 30 fights with two draws against past or present world champions, defeating a Who’s Who list of all-time greats such as Dwight Muhammad Qawi, Џорџ Форман, Лери Холмс, Riddick Bowe и Мајк Тајсон (два пати), меѓу повеќе угледни.
Born in Brooklyn and now a resident of Queens, Collazo (37-7. 20 КО) captured the World Boxing Association (ВБА) welterweight world title on April 2, 2005, winning a 12-round split decision over hometown favorite and defending champion Хозе Антонио Ривера во Worcester, Масачусетс.
The 26-year-old Collazo, who has also defeated world champions Miguel Angel Gonzalez и Виктор Ортиз, remains a world title contender having upset 21-1 Семи Васкез in his last action by way of a sixth-round knockout last February.

BROOKLYN (Јуни 26, 2016) – Prizefighting returned to CBS во саботата with a Fight of the Year candidate as undefeated welterweight world champion Кит Турман edged former world champion Шон Портер in a close but unanimous decision scored 115-113 by all three ringside judges.

 

На 12,718 fans in attendance at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and the viewers across the U.S. watching the first primetime boxing event on CBS since Muhammed Ali-Leon Spinks in 1978 were treated to a slugfest between two of the brightest stars in boxing’s glamour division.

 

Турман (27-0, 22 КО) and Porter (26-2-1, 16 КО) combined to throw over 1200 punches in the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS event, presented by Premier Boxing Champions. The marquee showdown was a story of accuracy vs. activity, as Thurman landed 50 проценти од својата моќ снимки, во споредба со 38 percent for Porter, и 44 percent of his total punches compared to just 36 percent for the challenger. While Thurman landed at a higher percentage, Porter was the busier fighter, throwing over 100 more punches across 12 рунди.

 

“One Time” and “Showtime” delivered as advertised, with the powerful sharpshooter buckling Porter multiple times, while the swarming and smothering Porter barreled forward to bully Thurman into the ropes. And while there were no knockdowns, the back-and-forth blockbuster never lacked action and culminated in a standing ovation in the second-highest attended boxing event in Barclays Center history.

 

“I want to thank Shawn Porter for a tremendous fight. He’s a great warrior,” said Thurman. “Defense is the key to victory. He smothers his punches a lot and makes it difficult for the judges to score. I was able to rock him with clear, effective blows and I believe that was the difference today.

 

“I would give him a rematch. It was great fight. He was a great opponent. Everyone was saying would he be my toughest opponent to date. I wasn’t able to drop him but I did buckle him a few times.”

The former world champion Porter, a perennial underdog but consummate gentleman, didn’t complain about being on the losing end of his second close decision in a title bout.

 

“We worked hard, Keith is a great champion,” Porter said. “My dad says to keep your head up. I think I won the fight, but I’m satisfied because the competitor came out вечерва.

 

“We need that rematch. I know the fans want that rematch. If he gives me another chance, I’m going to work hard in the ring and leave with his title.”

 

The opening bout of the CBS telecast featured a matchup of undefeated super welterweights as Џарет Херд graduated from prospect to legitimate contender in the stacked 154-pound class with a dominating 10та round TKO over Оскар Молина.

 

Херд (18-0, 12 КО) got to work early, flooring Molina for the first time in his career in the opening round with a powerful counter right uppercut. The bigger and taller Hurd was the more active fighter from the outset, dismantling the previously unbeaten Mexican Olympian with a supremely effective inside game. Hurd threw nearly 750 punches over 10 рунди, во споредба со само 376 for Molina, поврзување на 220 power shots at a nearly 40 percent clip.

 

Hurd put a stamp on his performance in the final round, closing the show by out landing Molina 33-7 in the final round. With Molina taking a brutal beating and seemingly defenseless in the final minute of the final round, Ricky Gonzalez stepped in to halt the contest at 2:02.

 

“This is definitely a big win for my career,” Hurd said. “He was taking a lot of shots, but he knew how to survive. It was a big uppercut that knocked him down in round one. People know from my last fight that I have a great right uppercut. He was hurt a couple of times. I don’t think it was a bad stoppage. Molina is a very tough guy who just kept coming through.

 

“This fight here puts me up with the top contenders in the division. I felt like I could have gone three or four more rounds. I was getting stronger as the fight went on. We’re going right back to the gym so we can get in there again.”

 

Молина (13-1-1, 10 КО) protested, but barring a stunning knockout he was just seconds away from suffering the first loss of his career via a unanimous decision.

 

“I felt like Hurd was throwing a lot of punches in the tenth round but they weren’t really hurting me,” Molina said. “He was staying busy but he was never really hurting me.

 

“I went low and I had my head down and he caught me with that uppercut in the first round. He got me with a shot I wasn’t expecting but it was definitely a flash knockdown. I wasn’t hurt.

 

“I was supposed to use my footwork a lot more but I ended up smothering my shots. He had an awkward defense with a lot of bending down and I couldn’t get into a rhythm.

 

“This was a big opportunity for me and I felt like I fought a good fight. I’m going to come back stronger. We’re going to work on a lot of things and get back in there.”

 

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, presented by Premier Boxing Champions, was promoted by DiBella Entertainment.

 

Earlier in the evening on SHOWTIME, undefeated heavyweight sensation Anthony Joshua successfully defended his IBF Heavyweight World Championship for the first time with a seventh round knockout of previously unbeaten American Dominic Breazeale at The O2 in London. ВИДЕО: http://s.sho.com/28VGgsa

 

Below are quotes from Joshua after Во саботата win on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL:

 

Many thought that Dominic Breazeale wouldn’t be able to stand up to your power and speed, but were you grateful for the opportunity to work a little bit more of your boxing skills?

“Well, it’s hard because you can see they’re hurt with every shot – well not every shot – but when you start catching them flush, they can feel the shots with these ten ounce gloves on. Значи, it’s just a matter of time, but in the process I didn’t want to be receiving any haymakers on the way back.

 

“It’s been tough I had two weeks off after my last fight, and got straight back in the gym so it was tough. I get a nice little break for once and then I can come back with recharged batteries.”

 

We know Deontay Wilder was watching the fight. Have you got a message for him, the WBC Champion?

“Unbelievable inspirational person. He was patient, 30-odd fights [и] got his hands on the WBC [belt]. I’m following suit. I’m making my way into the U.S. with SHOWTIME backing me as well. Значи, he watched that.

 

“He can pick up whatever he wants to pick up from that, but it’s so different when you’re in the ring with each other. So one day we’ll get to experience what each other’s about.”

 

Who do you want to fight next?

“Well I think it’s gonna have to be the likes of [Џозеф] Паркер. I was really looking at Fury… I hope he gets better soon. He hurt his ankle unfortunately, which has postponed it because I was hoping to get that some time in the winter if everything went well July 9th like it didвечерва, but we’re gonna have to reschedule that and in the meantime, we can look at other opponents like Parker, if he’s vacant, or anyone else that the people want.”

 

What do you think that you still need to work on?

“Rest. I need to rest. I’m tired, I’m working hard and as I said, now i can get

Below is what the fighters had to say at the final press conference, followed by some recent fight week quotes. (Courtesy Sky Sports and Matchroom Sport)

 

ANTHONYJOSHUA:

 

“You’re in my jungle now. Нема притисок врз мене.

 

“Once that bell goes, you can’t hide the instinct, the instinct that you want to get someone out of there. I hope I can go in there, stay relaxed and do what I planned to do. But once that bell rings something just comes over you and you want to get him out of there ASAP.

 

“There will always be pressure. But look, it’s always been the same concept: Train hard – it’s the same ring. It hasn’t changed.

 

“I’ve got nothing to lose. I’ve always explained let’s get rid of the belts, the atmosphere, because when the bell goes it’s just me and him in the ring. Two gladiators, two respectful warriors coming together. We’re going to slug it out and put our 0s on the line.”

 

“I’m prepared, Dominic is prepared well, and one of us has to take a loss.

 

“Each fight is a stepping stone to the big tests. I want to look like the real deal.”

 

“I think we’re in the golden era of boxing again.”

 

Доминик BREAZEALE:

“I respect you as a fighter, but I’m going to beat you. I’ve got to beat the best of the best.”

 

“Не можам да дочекам, it’s been an opportunity I’ve been waiting eight years for this. It’s an opportunity of a lifetime and I’m ready for this.

 

“Очекуваат огномет. We’ll be going round for round, punch for punch and I expect to knock out Joshua.”

 

“I got a big right hand, I have a big left hook. I stand 6-foot-7, 255 фунти. I’m unorthodox – I’m a guy that can fight on the inside, I’m a guy that can take a punch, I’m a guy that can give a punch. So if any one of those given things show up во саботата night I’m getting a knockout, сигурно.

 

“It’s a major advantage just for me to have Anthony Joshua the whole time. I don’t want him at any given point for him to feel like he’s in his comfort zone, his own backyard or his own little lion’s den.

 

“That’s what I came across the pond to do. I came across the pond to get my belt and take it back home with me.

 

“It’s my Super Bowl. Being a former football player, this is my Super Bowl.”

 

“Everybody keeps comparing me to Charles Martin, the only thing that we have in common is that we’re both American. We have a completely different fight style, different goals in life.

 

“I’m a big puncher, so is Anthony Joshua. He has the belt and I intend to have it во саботата ноќ.

 

ADDITIONAL FIGHT WEEK QUOTES:

 

ANTHONY JOSHUA

 

"Јас сум 16 тепачки, 16 победи, Dominic is 17 тепачки, 17 победи. We’ve been pro for the same amount of time, amateurs for the same time so we’re at a similar level on paper.

 

“People think this will end in two rounds? Brilliant. I am winning fights early because of my talent and hard work. Where I am in my career, it’s a perfect fight.

 

“I don’t overlook anyone. People talk and talk, that’s irrelevant. It’s all about whether he can fight. I think he believes in himself, but he knows what’s in store here, he needs to know I’m serious about this boxing. He thinks he’s going to KO me, he’s dismissed Charles Martin — sometimes you just have to humble somebody and show levels, let them know it’s not that easy.

 

“The second I stepped in to the pros it was ‘Boom!' — Anthony Joshua – headlining. That’s not down to me, its media channels and people wanting to get to know the guy behind the gloves. So it’s been hard to build a career at the right pace without criticism because people want to see me in massive fights right now.

 

“You can’t jump from hero to zero, there are people guiding us over a long and a dangerous career. People have to understand that it’s a development of a career, and if I ever train a fighter, I’ll tell them the same thing.”

 

On fellow heavyweight world champions Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury:

“This won’t be my only defense, I want there to be lots and lots, and at the right time I will fight David Haye, Тајсон бес, Deontay Wilder and the rest. We’re in an era now where we have to fight each other. There’s never been an era when the best don’t fight the best at heavyweight — but they have to happen at the right time, and they will.

 

“We are all world champions as we hold all the belts that are available. We’re all talented. Deontay has defended his title multiple times so you have to give him credit for that. Tyson and I haven’t defended yet, so I put Deontay at the top. But Tyson beat Wladimir Klitschko who reigned for such a long time.

 

“I am happy because I became a world champion in my 16th fight and they won theirs later in their careers. But Tyson beat the main man in the division, and Deontay has defended his belt lots of times, so I am in third right now, but I am building my way up.

 

“Put the belts to one side, they don’t give you magical powers. A lot of fighters lose their belt in their first defense. It’s about developing your raw talent and making sure you keep on an upward curve because there’s hungry young challengers snapping at your heels all the time, ready to expose you – and I refuse that to happen to me.”

 

On Charles Martin:

“Before the fight, no one criticized (Чарлс) Мартин. He was undefeated, knocking guys out, tall southpaw, dangerous. Bookies were taking a lot of bets on him knocking me out. Tyson Fury backed him to do just that and a lot of people thought it would be tricky. Up until I beat him, he was seen as a worthy fighter. I figured him out quickly and I made him look bad. He didn’t look like the champion people thought he was, but you have to respect him.”

 

On thinking about losing:

“I think about losing all the time, I’m scared of it. That keeps me humble and working hard. I don’t think people are going to beat me or anything, but I don’t want to lose, and I know that if I work hard and keep improving, I won’t lose.

 

“I get enough attention from this job. Постојат 20,000 fans at the fights, millions watching on TV around the world. I don’t need to seek attention. I’m not a trash talker because the fists do the talking.’’

 

On being a role model:

“I know that there are a lot of kids watching me now and their parents say ‘my son loves you’ and that’s in my mind.

 

“I’ll be myself all the time, but that sense of being a role model and having kid’s look up to you, that checks the emotions that could come out if you get wound up. You have to conduct yourself.’’

 

On Tyson Fury:

“Tyson talks a lot. I hear so many different things, if he was consistent with what he says then maybe I’d think he was digging a bit, but it’s just water off a duck’s back. I don’t know him, but as long as people are saying ‘when are you going to fight him?’ then I like him because he is relevant.

 

“It would be such a huge fight and one that would be part of my legacy. I think because he’s beaten Wladimir once he can do it again. I didn’t think he’d win the first fight, but he pulled it off.

 

“I’d love to fight Tyson – it’s a match-up that needs to happen. There have been talks, whether they are a quick chat or serious negotiations, but you can’t click your fingers and come up with a mega fight. It takes time, but they are in the pipeline and we’re building towards them, and in the meantime I want to test myself and learn my craft. I need to perform well to prove that I can handle the massive fights.’’

 

On fellow British heavyweight David Haye:

“David is running the show and people know it, so when he goes in against soft opponents, he’s putting his neck on the line to get the stick. Fans expect more from him and he’s not meeting those levels, and that’s where the backlash comes from. The people he’s calling out versus the two guys he has fought, they just don’t add up, and that’s what people are frustrated about.

 

“I don’t think you can knock the Shannon Briggs fight. He’s made a lot of noise, he’s old school and it’s a good fight for David to take, win and move upwards. Shannon had made noise and he’s got his moment and who knows? Maybe he can shock the world. He’s old, but he trains hard and he’s in great condition, and that’s why people love the heavyweights because it’s that one shot.

 

“A fight with Fury and I is the biggest fight in British boxing in my opinion. The Haye fight is big too; there’s enough media interest for it to be big. It’s already big and we’re not even fighting yet, so imagine how big it would be once we get in there. It’d be unbelievable and that’s why I am so interested in the fights.”

 

Доминик BREAZEALE:

“I plan on putting on some extreme pressure and taking Joshua to places he’s never been. We’ll find out if he can handle it.

 

“Do I want to see him go into uncharted territory? Се разбира,, без сомнение.

 

“I’ve been there, I know what it feels like and I’ve done it several times now. Во исто време,, I’m not going to let an opportunity pass me. If I see something I can take in the first or second round, I’m definitely going to get him out of there.

 

“I’ve sparred guys that are bigger than me, I’ve sparred some guys smaller than me. I’ve been the tallest thus far (на неговата професионална противници), but I don’t think the difference in a matter of inches is going to make that big of a difference. The guys I’ve sparred with are 10 times better than Anthony Joshua.

 

“I think that it’s going to be one of those situations that it is not going to be a difference of size or weight. It’s going to be the difference of skill and experience.

 

“When you think of a heavyweight champion you want to make sure he’s fought the best, and I think that’s why Joshua has chosen me as his opponent to defend against. That’s what he plans on getting out of the situation if he can make it through the 12 рунди.

 

“I think Joshua’s thinking of me as a stepping stone and he’s going to be sorry about that. He’s just wrong. He’s fighting a guy at 6-foot-7, 255 pounds that brings the pressure and a great pace from round-to-round.

 

“I’m one of those guys that I might take a shot, I might work some defense or I might work a strong jab. Во секој случај, I’m going to make it a fight. All of my opponents have been down on the canvas and I don’t think Joshua is going to come shy of that as well.

 

“I’ve been picked as the smaller guy in the ring, by the IBF as a stepping stone and I feel like my back is against the wall. I’m going to come out fighting.

 

“To come here and win the IBF title in London is a major thing for me that I plan to achieve. Then I want to continuing to go after all the titles.

 

“My mind set has definitely changed. The situation that I’m in mentally is just different compared to some of my fights in the past. My confidence level is through the roof and physically I feel great.

 

“I think the heavyweight division is getting ready to change. With individuals like myself, Deontay and Tyson, we have guys who are characters who bring a lot of charisma to the division. That’s something that we need. Да, we are athletes but in the end we are entertainers and we want to see a show. I’m the type of guy that brings a show every single time I fight. It’s action-packed from the opening bell to the end, and fight fans are looking for that. That’s what is going to resurrect the heavyweight division.’’

 

On his win over Amir Mansour:

“That was another confidence booster for me. It’s one thing to finish a guy in the first round with three punches or something like that. It’s another thing to finish a guy in the sixth, seventh round with a combination of shots.

 

“Amir put me down on the canvas in the second, I battled back and ended up breaking the man’s jaw.

 

“It gives me something to work on. I know I was able to come back and be very successful from it. Anytime you get a win of that matter where you get a guy, break him down, break him down where he quits on the stool, it’s a huge confidence booster. It makes you understand as an athlete or as a professional boxer that you’ve got punching power, you just broke another man’s jaw.’’

 

On returning to London after the 2012 Олимписки игри:

“I think it’s going to beautiful. It’s going to be great to go back to where my amateur career ended and beat the guy who won the gold medal. That’s going to be great. И потоа, on top of that, take away more hardware with the IBF Heavyweight title. You couldn’t ask for anything better.

 

“Then again I do understand and believe I’m a completely different fighter — not only am I a professional but I no longer fight an amateur style. I would consider myself a knockout artist with some pretty good punching power and that’s what I plan on showing the UK fans and my U.S. following. It’s a chapter that needs to be closed and I plan on doing that.’’

 

On the state of the heavyweight division:

“I believe that we’ve got a lot of heavyweights who are doing real well and are real successful in their situations, some being titleholders, some not. But I think it’s going to be a revolving circle. Me fighting Anthony Joshua, then going on to Deontay and Fury, Wladimir Klitschko might even hang around for a while. Will it ever be compared to the Ali days or Riddick Bowe and the Evander Holyfield days? Не знам. Bowe and Holyfield had one great trilogy and I study it all the time. So it all depends on how much each fighter has left in him.’’

“That’s what the Americans love. They like knockouts and I won’t let them down” – Anthony Joshua

“I can’t wait to get in the ring and shock the world” – Dominic Breazeale

Breazeale Challenges Joshua This Сабота, Јуни 25,
On SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL Live on SHOWTIME®
From The O2 in London

ЊУЈОРК (Јуни 20, 2016) – Undefeated IBF Heavyweight World Champion Ентони Џошуа (16-0, 16 КО) will make the first defense of his title against fellow unbeaten Доминик Breazeale (17-0, 15 КО) of Upland, Калифорнија., оваСабота, Јуни 25 на Showtime бокс МЕЃУНАРОДНИ® од The O2во Лондон, во живо на Showtime® on at 5:15 вечер. И/2:15 вечер. Португалија.

Just a few hours later in Primetime on КБС (9 вечер. И/6 вечер. Португалија), Keith “One Time” Thurman will defend his WBA Welterweight World Title against former champ Shawn “Showtime” Porter in a welterweight blockbuster that headlines Showtime ПРВЕНСТВО бокс на КБС, presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Both Joshua and Breazeale participated in an international media conference call во понеделникот. Also taking part were Стивен Espinoza, Извршен потпретседател и генерален директор на SHOWTIME Sports; Еди Hearn, Managing Director of Matchroom Sport and Brittany Goossen of TGB Promotions introducing Breazeale.

Below are highlights of what the principals had to say on the conference call. A full transcript will be available in the coming days.

ANTHONY JOSHUA

Thoughts on his preparation for the fight:

“I feel great condition wise, and mentally I’m in a good place. I’ve never felt so relaxed because I just know I’m capable of doing it. I’ve trained weeks and years and it’s just about getting it right on the night of the fight. My tactics and my mind have not let me down so far, so that’s why I don’t want to change anything.

“I’m not putting too much pressure on myself. I’m going to attack the fight the same way I have my last 16 and put on an explosive show. That’s what the Americans love. They like knockouts and I won’t let them down.

“Every fight can be my last fight. As much as I would like to tell you I’m confident and ‘I’m going to do this, I’m going to do that’ I do understand I have to approach this as if it could be my last fight.

“I know he can hang around, he doesn’t go down easy. He’s a big guy, he can eat shots. The Dominic Breazeale I’m used to watching on YouTube and I’m reading about is the enhanced Dominic Breazeale – the Dominic Breazeale that is 50 percent better because I think he knows he wants to come prove himself on a global stage. And this is his chance come Сабота, so I need to prepare for the best of Breazeale.”

On going from being the hunter as a challenger to being the hunted as a champion:

“I’m not the cream of the crop in the gym. I’m around guys that are achieving things on the same level so I’m still hunting. I still have that mentality as if I’m a main killer in the jungle. I haven’t lost that hunger.

On potential to fight in the US in the future:

“I just keep on hearing the United States is where it’s happening. And if I come to the U.S., I’m going to shut it down.”

Thoughts on Breazeale’s performance against Amir Mansour:

“He’s a tough guy. He managed to go out there and break Mansour’s jaw and capture a win, which has led him into where he is now. Whichever angels were floating in the ring with him that day have led him to this point, so I’ve got to put an end to his dream.”

On winning a piece of the heavyweight championship in just his 16та pro fight:

“It didn’t mean much. I still have another couple titles I need to get my hands on. I’m still hunting. There’s still work to be done. So it only ticked one of the boxes on my to-do list.”

Доминик BREAZEALE

“I’m out here very excited. I can’t wait to get in the ring Јуни 25 and shock the world, тоа е сигурно. I’ve been lucky enough to prepare for the biggest fight of my life and I’m really super excited about it.”

On why he thinks he was selected for this matchup:

"Искрено, the way I see it is that someone didn’t do their research. They didn’t look deep enough. They didn’t find out enough about me and maybe they’re looking at me as just another football player that transitioned into boxing. And I’m hoping they’re overlooking me. It definitely can be a situation where they’re just watching one fight, especially my last fight. But there’s been a lot of tough ones. If they’re looking at that one situation, I’m glad because that’s to my liking.”

On his feelings about fighting overseas:

“The way I’m thinking about it is, Јуни 25, I gain 20,000 фанови. I’m in a situation where I’m very confident going into this fight and I know for sure I’m going to put on a great show, come out victorious and go back to the U.S. со 20,000 UK fans.

“I definitely believe [Џошуа] realizes; he understands that he’s got a big test in front of him. He’s got a big fighter in front of him. He’s got a guy that’s going to break him down, test his will and see if he is a true champion.

“I am coming into this fight very confident and I’ve got some things that I know are going to work for me, as well as some things that I plan on exploiting out of Joshua.

“I’m blessed to have been picked for this fight and am thankful for this opportunity. The way I look at it, and the way I look at every fight that I go into, is that as long as I do everything that I need to do in the gym as far as sparring, preparation and training, running my miles, sleeping right and eating right – I’ve crossed all of my T’s and dotted all of my I’s. I’ve got nothing to worry about. I’ve got nothing to second-guess. I’ve done everything I’m supposed to and I just can’t wait to shine.”

Стивен ESPINOZA, Извршен потпретседател и генерален менаџер, Showtime Спорт

“Anthony quickly went from a diamond in the rough to really one of the foremost stars in the UK and Europe, and we are happy to be his partner as he establishes his presence in North America.

“We are particularly excited about this bout because we have, pardon the phraseology, two behemoths. There are two skilled boxers, really the epitome of what heavyweight boxing should be – голем, strong athletes skilled in their sport, with amateur pedigree, meeting on the afternoon here in the US, evening in the UK to determine who is the best fighter.”

EDDIE HEARN, Претседател, Matchroom Спорт

“Over here, the feeling is that it’s going to be quite a routine defense, but Anthony hasn’t trained like that. He is not expecting that. He knows the background and roots of Dominic Breazeale. He knows his skill, and he knows how dangerous he can be and he knows how hungry he is as well. I think you’re going to get a different kind of fight than the Charles Martin fight. I think you’re going to get a guy that’s not afraid to let his hands go. He’s not going to wait and the sold out O2 Arena is going to be an electric place to be.”

“SHOWTIME is a deal we are very excited about. To link up with an American broadcaster for us was an obvious move, but it was a move we had to choose carefully. And I think we chose very, very well in SHOWTIME.”

BRITTANY GOOSSEN, TGB Промоции

“Over here in the U.S. we have gotten to see Dominic grow before our eyes. We know he is definitely capable of challenging for the world title. Во саботатаwe expect him to be victorious and bring that back to America.”

WBC World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder Sees Anthony Joshua-Dominic Breazeale Fight as 50-50

Breazeale Challenges Joshua This Сабота, Јуни 25,
On SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL Live on SHOWTIME®
From The O2 in London

ЊУЈОРК (Јуни 22, 2016) – Unbeaten WBC World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Вајлдер can’t pick a clear winner for оваа сабота ноќ Anthony Joshua-Dominic Breazeale world title clash.

The undefeated IBF Heavyweight World Champion Joshua (16-0, 16 КО) will make the first defense of his title against fellow unbeaten Доминик Breazeale(17-0, 15 КО) of Upland, Калифорнија., на Showtime бокс МЕЃУНАРОДНИ®од The O2 во Лондон, во живо на Showtime® на 5:15 вечер. И/2:15 вечер. Португалија.

Just a few hours later in Primetime on КБС (9 вечер. И/6 вечер. Португалија), Keith “One Time” Thurman will defend his WBA Welterweight World Title against former champ Shawn “Showtime” Porter in a welterweight blockbuster that headlines Showtime ПРВЕНСТВО бокс на КБС, presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Wilder, who will be part of the in-studio SHOWTIME announce team covering the fight from New York City, is torn on who will triumph when Joshua makes the first defense of the world title he landed in April with a devastating second-round KO win over Charles Martin.

“I definitely see the fight as a 50-50,” said Wilder. “You’ve got two big heavyweights, and the challenger wants what the champion has, and the champion wants to keep what he has.

“It’s going to be interesting because we’ve seen Breazeale in a lot of wars. He’s almost been taken out by some of the smaller heavyweights. He’s been punched around, but he has always survived.

“We’ve seen Joshua (get) busted up as well, but he has kept his composure, and this fight is in his backyard amongst his people.

“I don’t put anything past Breazeale because he’s coming in hustlers’ territory. I think that it’ll be a good fight because of Breazeale – I think he really wants it.”

Wilder makes the fourth defense of his WBC strap on Јули 16 against Chris Arreola in his hometown of Alabama. The 30-year-old says that Joshua will feel like a different fighter as he goes into his first fight as world champion – but that there’s now an even bigger target on his back.

“Once you’ve got that belt, you feel like ‘I’m the man,’ ” said Wilder. “After the first fight, that’s when you really feel confident. You really feel you’re the man, you’re the champ. You’re the ruler once you’ve had your first defense.

“For Joshua, this is his first title defense, so he should feel some kind of security about himself and confidence about himself. But he’s going to find out that to continue his career and defend that title, these guys aren’t going to lay down after one punch or after two punches.

“They’re going to keep taking punches, they’re going to keep getting knocked down and they’re going to keep getting up. This is for a world title. This can bring you out of poverty, you know what I mean? For that reason, these challengers are hungry. That’s one of the things that I had to realize.

“I put myself in their position. When I was a challenger, I was hungry and I already had the mentality that ‘you’re going to really have to kill me or hurt me bad to get me out of this ring.’ So that’s the mentality that these challengers have.

“It’s going to be interesting when you have a guy with a big heart that really, really wants it and I think Breazeale really wants it. We’re going to see where his heart is. I can’t say what kind of heart he has, but we’re going to see.”

Breazeale is following compatriot Charles Martin into Joshua’s Greenwich home area. “It takes a lot of courage, will and heart to fight in someone’s backyard,” said Wilder. “It takes someone that has confidence in themselves. And not to mention going to someone else’s country, because then the environment has completely changed. It’s a big difference and not a lot of guys are willing to travel outside of their country where they would be uncomfortable.

“Only a very few that really want to build their legacy, such as myself, will travel and have no problem. I don’t like to worry about judges or nothing. You go do what you have to do. That’s just my philosophy and mentality as a champion now. When you say the Heavyweight Champion of the World, that’s why this is tough, we travel all over the world.”

I think you’re going to get a guy that’s not afraid to let his hands go. He’s not going to wait and the sold out O2 Arena is going to be an electric place to be.”

“SHOWTIME is a deal we are very excited about. To link up with an American broadcaster for us was an obvious move, but it was a move we had to choose carefully. And I think we chose very, very well in SHOWTIME.”

BRITTANY GOOSSEN-BROWN, TGB Промоции

“Over here in the U.S. we have gotten to see Dominic grow before our eyes. We know he is definitely capable of challenging for the world title. Во саботата we expect him to be victorious and bring that back to America.”
