Last October he went the distance and lost a close decision to unbeaten Maxim Dadashev.
“Here I come again!” рекао ДеМарко. “I am going to win this fight and upset Jamal James in his hometown. I have the experience to get the victory and I’m going to use it to make this a great fight on July 13.”

Thurman will return to action on January 26 from a long injury layoff after his most recent fight saw him unify welterweight titles by defeating Danny Garcia in March 2017 у Барцлаис Центер. Here is what Thurman had to say about his return, Josesito Lopez and more from his training camp at the St. Pete Boxing Club in St. Петербург, Флорида:
How has training camp been going? Have there been any adjustments because of the injury?
“Training camp has been going well. It was a little bit of a slow start after so many months out of the ring, but I’m feeling great as we get closer to the fight. I’m starting to feel more and more like a world-class athlete again. It’s a good feeling working this hard and it reminds me what it’ll take to continue being the champion.”
Do you anticipate any ring rust? Do you think it will be more difficult to feel like yourself physically in the ring, or mentally trusting the injury is healed?
“I don’t think ring rust will be an issue. The only thing that even if this may not be the best Keith Thurman that people have ever seen, we’re focused on getting better and much stronger with each fight. But make no mistake, people will see one of the best welterweights in the world on January 26 at Barclays Center.”
When did you start to feel like you were turning the corner physically? Were you ever worried you wouldn’t be healthy enough to fight?
“You always have to be a little worried about new injuries. There’s nothing wrong with your car until the day it decides to break down. So at the end of the day, it’s always in the back of my mind. I run a lot of miles, so I wonder about my knees. I wonder about my shoulders also. Athletes and their bodies go through a lot of things. But here I go getting right back into things and I’m totally ready to showcase my talents on January 26.”
What kind of challenges does Josesito pose? What makes him a difficult opponent for you coming off a layoff?
“Josesito is experienced. He’s a busy fighter with good reach. He likes to mix it up and force his opponents to fight. He also has a new coach in Robert Garcia now, and I know he has a lot of confidence in his abilities. Josesito has been through ups and downs in his career, but he’s back on an upswing at the moment. Then he pinpointed me and called me out. So I’m looking forward to the challenge.”
What are you looking to show in this fight? How do you control your emotions and make sure you don’t press too much?
“I’m going to show my versatility in the ring. I’m going to show Josesito what it’s like to be in the ring with me. He might think it’s just all about my power, but I’ll show him what none of his sparring partners could. I’m going to show everyone the full package of skills I bring and enjoy every second of it.”
How do you see this fight looking stylistically?
“I like to let my opponent show me how the fight is going to go. I’ve thought many times that my opponents would do something specific, but then they do something totally different in the moment.
“I’m just prepared for any version of Josesito. I’m ready for him to come at me with punches in bunches, but I’m also ready if he wants to try box more and work behind his jab. I don’t think there’s anything that he’s going to do that I won’t be able to dominate. I’m going to move, trade on the inside, whatever it takes and we’ll see which road to victory looks the easiest.”

Here is what the fighters had to say Saturday before going face-to-face in the Barclays Center interview room, prior to the PBC on FOX fight night in Brooklyn:
Кит Терман “I feel great physically. We’re working really hard and just getting back into everything we did before the injury. It feels tremendous and I’m so happy to be able to do this back in Brooklyn. Јануар 26, you will see the return of the number one welterweight in the world. I need to come back and stay active and healthy. I’m going to remind everyone this year why I’m one of the baddest men on the planet. На крају дана, I’m here to make a statement that ‘One Time’ ис бацк. I have one belt, and I’m missing one belt. I’m going to re-establish my own accomplishments this year, then go from there. We’re taking it one fight at a time. Right now my eyes are set on Josesito Lopez.”
“I’m a world-class fighter. I’ve fought through injuries my whole career. A real fighter ends up getting addicted to the game. There’s nothing better in this life than being under those lights and being part of the action. My legacy is not over. Unification against Danny Garcia was not enough for me. На крају, I’m just waiting to be presented with a man who is better than me. There might not be one, but I’m not afraid to let my ‘0’ go. “I need fights like this against a guy like Josesito Lopez. He’s going to be there and give the fans a great fight. He’s coming to take me out. He looked like he was in shape a month ago when I first saw him. “It’s been a long time and I’m truly honored to be back. It’s been hard for me to not be in the ring while I wait for the elbow to recover. I’m so happy to be back.”
ЈОСЕСИТО ЛОПЕЗ “I’m really excited to be here tonight. Keith Thurman is a world-class, elite fighter and I’m going to make the most of this opportunity. I’ve been in this position before and I’ve never shied away from big battles. This is another big one and I’m going to be ready for it and become world champion.”
“I’m sure Keith Thurman is as strong and skilled as anyone I’ve ever faced. He’s undefeated for a reason. I give him his respect for that. I’m preparing for him to be the best fighter I’ve ever faced. We’re both experienced fighters who have fought world class competition. I’ve faced my share of tough heavy punchers. I’ve pretty much seen it all. Come January 26, we’re going into deep waters and we’ll see how each of us reacts.”
“No matter how active Thurman has been, the importance of this opportunity doesn’t change. If anything we might see a better and healthier Keith Thurman than we’ve seen in years. I’m expecting the best Keith Thurman there is. I’m going in against one of the toughest welterweights out there. I don’t need anyone to believe in me but myself. I’m going to give it my all to come out with that title.”
АДАМ Ковнацка “Јануар 26 is going to be a great night. Сваки пут кад се борити, it’s very exciting. I throw a lot of punches and bring the pressure. Gerald Washington is going to be a tough test, but if I get through him, I’m even closer to a title shot. That’s the ultimate goal.”
“It’s a little bit of a fairytale story. I was just a little kid from Brooklyn wearing the Golden Gloves and now I’m fighting at Barclays Center. It’s a whole new environment. Hopefully next year I’m the main event. That’s the goal and it’s going to be a dream come true. I have to keep working hard to achieve it.”
“I think when I fought Iago Kiladze, he was also a runner who could box. I managed the ring very well with him so I’m looking to do the same with Washington and punish the body. The taller they are the harder they fall. Gerald Washington is a tough exam. He’s a former title challenger and I know he’s going to bringing his A-game. My goal is to become the heavyweight champion of the world and in order to do that I have to get by Washington. That’s what I plan on doing.”

БРООКЛИН (Децембар 18, 2018) – Непоражени ВБА светски првак у полутешкој категорији Кит "Једно време" Турман враћа се у ринг након дужег отпуштања због повреде да би одбранио наслов против ветерана Јосесито Лопез у суботу, Јануар 26 уживо у ударном термину на главном догађају о Премиер Бокинг Цхампионс на ФОКС и ФОКС Депортес из Барцлаис Центер, дом БРООКЛИН БОКСИНГ ™.

„Постоји велики ниво ишчекивања и интрига око повратка ринга шампиона у полутешкој категорији Кеитха Тхурмана, и Јосесито Лопез ће сигурно пружити неке одговоре о томе где је Тхурман након скоро две године ван ринга,’’ Рекао је Том Браун, Председник ТГБ Промоције. „Адам Ковнацки и Гералд Васхингтон имају прилику да покажу тачно где се налазе у оживљеној тешкој категорији. Обојица су велики тешкаши који воле да бацају ударце. Ниамбаиар и Марреро загарантовано ће додати ватромет у већ узбудљиву емисију. То је врста ноћи која ће имати фанове на ивици својих места. ''
„Говорим о боксу навијачи свуда када кажем да нестрпљиво очекујемо повратак Кеитха Тхурмана до прстена,”Рекао је Бретт Иормарк, Извршни директор компаније БСЕ Глобал. „Доживео је сјајно успех у Барцлаис Центер, па приличи да ће повести јаку годину програмирања БРООКЛИН БОКС-а у 2019. Такође се радујем што ћу видети локалне омиљени Адам Ковначки, који увек долази са јаким контингентом гласних навијачи. “
Турман (28-0, 22 КОс) направио стални успон у полутешкој категорији и достигао врхунац тешким победама над Схавном Портером и Даннијем Гарциаом у Барцлаис Центер,од којих му је овај други уз ВБА титулу донео и ВБЦ круну. Али низ повреда га је уклонио готово две године, доводећи у питање његово место међу елитама од 147 килограма. Тридесетогодишњи Тхурман, који је и даље актуелни ВБА шампион у полутешкој категорији, жели да поврати свој првокласни статус у дивизији почев од Лопеза.
Турман, који живи и тренира у Цлеарватер-у, Флорида, улази у ринг први пут од победе подељене одлуке Гарциа у марту 4, 2017.
„Изузетно сам узбуђена што сам се вратила у ринг,’’ Рекао је Турман. „Мало ме нервира с обзиром на слободно време и зато што желим да имам изванредне перформансе. Желим више да причам рукама више од речи и утишам оне неуобичајене који мисле да је Кеитх Тхурман изгубио страст и вештине у боксу. Верујем да сам најбоља велтер категорија у дивизији и на свету и надам се да ћу то показати у јануару 26 нокаутом. У најбољим борбама у полутешкој категорији учествовао је Кит Тхурман и тако ће бити и даље. Радујем се што ћу имати огромну годину и показати зашто сам број један. “
34-годишња Лопез(36-7, 19 КОс) покушава да осујети Тхурманове планове да поврати своју високу позицију у дивизији од 147 килограма. Надимак „Тхе Риверсиде Роцки“ због свог стила све акције, Риверсиде, Родом из Калифорније закорачио је у ринг против неких од најбољих боксера ове генерације. Забележио је три узастопне победе откако је претрпео ТКО пораз од бившег првака у полутешкој категорији Андре Берта 2015. Лопез је једногласно победио одлуком над претходно непобеђеним Мигуелом Црузом у априлу 28 уживо на ФОКС-у.
„Приближавам се овој борби не остављајући камен на камену док се припремам за наступ на том светском првенству,’’ Рекао је Лопез. „Организовао сам тренинг камп са надморском висином, јурећи кокоши,цепање дрва – стварно улагање у посао. Генерално, отпуштање ће утицати на њега и могло би доћи до мало оклевања, али видећемо да дођемо у ноћ борбе. Побољшања која сам направио са Робертом Гарсијом последњих неколико година ће доћи на ред. Ојачали су моје квалитете и једва чекам да то покажем свету. "
Ковнацки (18-0, 14 КОс) се попео кроз тешке категорије са чврстим стилом тучњаве који је створио низ победа у нокауту и узбудљивих обрачуна. Његов низ нокаута завршио се у четири у последњој борби, када је у септембру постигао једногласну победу над бившим прваком у тешкој категорији Цхарлесом Мартином 8. Ковнацки, који је рођен у Ломжи, Пољска и сада живи у Бруклину, бориће се у Барцлаис Центер-у трећи пут заредом и осми пут укупно.
„Живот у Бруклину ми је ово као домаћа утакмица,”Рекао је Ковначки.” Имао сам неке од својих најбољих наступа у Барцлаис Центер-у и једва чекам да закорачим у ринг против Гералда Васхингтона и представим се на ПБЦ-у на ФОКС-у. Не постоји ништа боље да започнемо годину него нокаутом и то је оно што планирам да урадим у јануару 26 у Барцлаис Центер. Надам се да ће сви моји фанови изаћи као и увек и да ће арена бити у белом и црвеном. ''
Вашингтон (19-2-1, 12 КОс) је 6-метарски-тешкаш који је успео да искористи своју атлетску способност да се пробије поред већине противника са којима се суочава. Та атлетичност ће представљати изазов за Ковнацког, који би могао да се суочи са најтежом борбом у каријери.36-годишњи Вашингтон из Валлејоа, California is a former college football standout at the University of Southern California and a U.S. Navy veteran who has challenged Deontay Wilder for his championship. He is coming off a unanimous decision victory over John Wesley Nofire in his last fight on June 10.
“I can’t wait to show everything I’ve been working on,’’ said Washington, “Boxing is a sport of truth. It brings the truth to light and it exposed my truth and what I needed to work on. You have to be able to adjust and be comfortable in every situation. You have to be ready for what’s to come. I’m expecting a hard fight from him. He’s a bruiser. He’s tough and he loves to fight. He’s in his hometown and he’s ready and he’s going to bring it, but I’m ready to position myself to fight again for a world title.’’
Nyambayar (10-0, 9КОс) has made a rapid ascent through the talent-laden featherweight division with precision and power. The 26-year-old Nyambayar, who is from Ulan-Bator Mongolia and now lives in Carson, Калифорнија, won a silver medal in the 2012 London Olympics as a member of the Mongolian boxing team. He scored a KO victory over Oscar Escandon in his last fight on May 26.
Марреро (23-2, 17КОс), a 29-year-old southpaw from Santo Domingo, Доминиканска Република, is coming off a stunning KO victory over Jorge Lara in his last fight on April 28.Marrero two losses have come against former featherweight champion Jesus Cuellar in 2013 and Jesus Rojas in 2015. A victory over Nyambayar will putMarrero in position to fight for a world title again.w
