The 26-year-old Barrios will be looking for a signature victory on June 26, and will bring a 5 ½ inch height advantage into the matchup against Davis. Since moving up to 140-pounds, Barrios is 9-0 osiem nokautów, and scored multiple knockdowns in the only fight that went the distance, his title-winning performance over Batyr Akhmedov. The San Antonio-native is buoyed by having renowned veteran trainer Virgil Hunter in his corner.
Here is what Barrios and Hunter had to say about training camp, Davis and more:
MARIO Barrios
“This is a huge opportunity for me. Gervonta Davis has a huge name in the sport and outside of it. This is the type of fight that can accelerate both of our names after June 26.
“I think Gervonta and his team might have bit off more than they could chew with this fight. I’m not one to talk too much, but we’ll see how it plays out when we step into the ring on June 26.
“’Tank’ is going to be in there with a full blown 140-pounder. He’s not going against someone past their prime or going up in weight. I’m a guy who goes out and gets stoppages. He’s facing someone just as dangerous as he is, but two weight classes higher than what he’s used to seeing.
“We know Gervonta is a dangerous fighter. We know the threat that we have in front of us. But I’m just as dangerous, if not more dangerous. I’ve been dangerous at 140 pounds for quite some time now.
“I have speed, power and explosiveness, just like Gervonta. But I have the length and physical stature to present problems that he’s never faced before.
“I know that I have power that carries from round one through round 12. He’s not used to being at this weight and we’re going to see how he handles that move up.
“I’m confident because I have a great team behind me. I’ve had a tremendous training camp. I go into every fight with confidence in my preparation. Just like every fight, I’m more than prepared for fight night.
“This is going to be fireworks from the opening bell. We have everything we need to make this the ‘Fight of the Year’.
“This is the moment that I’ve been dreaming of since I was a kid. It just goes to show that everything I’ve been working for my whole life is now unfolding in front of me. This is just the beginning and I’m ready to seize this opportunity.”
VIRGIL HUNTER, Barrios’ Trainer
“The preparation is going really well. We feel really good. Mario is as ready as he can be, so we’re looking forward to an exciting fight. He understands the importance of this fight. It’s a career-defining fight at this stage of his career, so he understands the significance of it. He understands what a victory means and what a setback means. He understands right where he is. His career is still in front of him because he’s a young fighter. But at this stage, it’s a very important fight and a victory would mean a lot.
“You always have to acknowledge ‘Tank’s’ punching power. You have to acknowledge his quickness and his IQ. His attributes appear to be very much real from what I’ve seen. There’s not anything about him that you cannot take seriously. You have to take everything about him seriously. He’s got a good corner and good people behind him so that makes for a formidable opponent.
“Mario’s reach and height is an advantage if you know how to use it to your advantage. It could be an advantage or could be a disadvantage. The thing is that we’re going to find the avenues to take advantage of it and make it work for us. Z drugiej strony,, it could be a disadvantage. Height and reach has never meant much to me in boxing because there are ways to overcome each stature that a fighter possesses. It’s who imposes their strategy and who imposes their will on the other who I think is going to come out victorious.
“The work ethic is there. Mario has a high ceiling that he hasn’t reached yet. He’s going towards that, but when he came here, he came with a high ceiling. A lot of fighters come and they’ve reached their ceiling, so there’s only so much you can do with them. But Mario has a lot of room for improvement and growth and I would say the best Mario Barrios is coming a couple years from now. But that doesn’t mean that he won’t be victorious on June 26. He definitely has what it takes to be victorious.”

One of boxing’s biggest stars at just 26-years-old, Davis moves up to 140-pounds for the first time in his career as he aims to add super lightweight champion to his stellar resume. With a victory, Davis will hold world championships in three different divisions simultaneously, a feat only accomplished by a few fighters in history, including Henry Armstrong and Canelo Alvarez.
Here is what Davis, along with trainerCalvin Ford, Mayweather Promocje i CEO Leonard Ellerbe, had to say Wednesday from the Mayweather Boxing Club:
GERVONTA DAVIS
“We can’t say who the bigger puncher is until we get in that ring and test his power. It doesn’t matter who is stronger, I want to be better than him across the board and in every aspect of the game.
“People who are here in the gym with me see a lot of things that I don’t need to bring out, even in my fights. Floyd is always telling me to box and use my skills, and don’t always look for the knockout. This camp we’ve actually been working on getting back to that and letting the knockout come.
"Dla mnie, greatness is just not going backwards. I just want to keep going forward no matter what. No matter who’s in front of me, I just have to go through them. Where I’m from, a lot of people don’t make it out, so I’m doing something right. It doesn’t even have to be an opponent, it can be something outside of the ring. I’m always chasing greatness.
“My thing is just beat whoever is put in front of me. When it’s time, we’ll see who the top guy is. Do tego czasu, I don’t need to speak on any other fighter than the one in front of me.
“Barrios and I have been through the amateurs together. He’s known what I’ve been doing. It’s crazy how life works out sometimes.
“I’m a team player, so whatever my team tells me has to be done to better myself, I’m all for it. That’s what’s made me so good. I don’t just stand out by myself. I have the best team in boxing.
“My last fight people complained that Leo Santa Cruz was too small, so I’m basically going out there and showing that a size difference doesn’t matter. I’m going to beat whoever they put in front of me. I’m trying to chase greatness.
“I’m definitely looking to walk down the bigger guy. He might feel like he can walk me down. I was definitely watching Floyd fight a much bigger guy in Logan Paul and taking a few pointers from it.
“I don’t know what Barrios will bring, but from my side, I’m bringing everything I’ve got. You know whenever I fight, I’m bringing something for the fans to enjoy.”
CALVIN FORD, Davis’ Trainer
“’Tank’s’ pay-per-view numbers opened up the doors for the rest of them. It’s because of ‘Tank’s’ social media. When people ask me why people gravitate towards him – he’s just like any kid that’s coming up from the inner cities. Look at basketball players – inner cities. Look at football players – inner cities. He’s showing them that if you put the right people around you and you put your mind to something, wszystko jest możliwe.
“’Tank’, Devin Haney, Teofimo Lopez and Ryan Garcia will be the Four Kings if the fights happen. Trzymajmy to prawdziwe. Teraz, they’re doing the same thing that the Four Kings did at the beginning stage. All we have to do is sit back and let the minds that be, do their thing. It’s going to happen. All these fights that people want to see are going to happen.
“Have you noticed that ‘Tank’ don’t call anybody out? He never did. But if you put him in front of somebody, he’s going to show you. If you know ‘Tank’ from the amateurs, he’s going to show up in the ring. He’s like a baby Mike Tyson.
“The weight isn’t what I’m focused on, it’s actually the opponent. When I started studying the opponent, his coach and I go way back in the amateurs. When we see each other, we know each other. It’s about the minds. He knows his athlete and I know my athlete. Ta noc, it’s about the minds. It’s about who is going to hold fast to what they’re supposed to be doing. That’s the fight for me.
“I wouldn’t say this is the toughest test of ‘Tank’s’ career because nobody can show me the best of ‘Tank’ yet. I know the best of ‘Tank’. Ya’ll ain’t seen ‘Tank’.”
LEONARD Ellerbe, Mayweather Promotions prezes
“From top to bottom this is one of those pay-per-view events that you don’t want to miss. Anytime you have the most exciting fighter in the sport, you know it’s going to be big. Don’t expect anything less on June 26.
“Coach Calvin Ford is a tremendous trainer who’s been with Gervonta since day one and they have a great game plan in place. I fully expect him to be able to execute. But Barrios is coming for him. He’s got a great trainer himself in Virgil Hunter and has made great progression with Virgil.
“We know this is going to be a tough fight, but Gervonta just has to figure it out from the opening bell. And I believe he’ll do that, but it will take some time. Barrios is looking to upset the apple cart.
“Gervonta is molding into his comfort zone. He’s becoming more comfortable with the media because he truly understands what he has in front of him. He knows that his ceiling is to be the biggest star in the sport. On the inside of the ring though, nothing has changed.
“The co-feature is a terrific bout with Erickson Lubin taking on Jeison Rosario. That’s going to be a very entertaining fight. A win for Lubin puts him one step closer to his ultimate goal. Lubin feels like he’s the best in the weight class and eventually right that wrong of his loss to Jermell Charlo. But he has a tough rugged fighter in front of him and that should be an exciting bout.
“Former unified champion Julian Williams is looking to bounce back against Brian Mendoza on the pay-per-view. Julian is obviously one of the top fighters in the division, and he’s looking to get back what he lost.
“In the opening bout the very tough Batyr Akhmedov is up against Argenis Mendez, who is always in go-mode. So it really shows you how highly entertaining this card is all the way through. I’m really excited to be back at State Farm Arena.”

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. Najlepszy człowiek może wygrać.
“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, nie ma znaczenia. 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. Jeśli idzie 12 Rundy, niech tak będzie. 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. Z pierwszej rundy, 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, Mayweather Promotions prezes
“’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.”

One of boxing’s biggest stars at just 26-years-old, Davis moves up to 140-pounds for the first time in his career as he aims to add super lightweight champion to his stellar resume. Davis has already captured titles at 130 and 135-pounds. With a victory, Davis will hold world championships in three different divisions simultaneously, a feat only accomplished by a few fighters in history, including Henry Armstrong and 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,”Powiedział Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather Promotions prezes. “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. Mayweather Promotions promowane przez, 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® w styczniu 2017. Wówczas, he became the youngest world champion in boxing at age 22. The Baltimore-native also owns knockout performances in world title fights over Jesus Cuellar in 2018 and Yuriorkis Gamboa in 2019. The 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,"Powiedział 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!"
Dzielnice (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, Kalifornii., under the guidance of renowned coach Virgil Hunter. W swojej ostatniej wycieczce, 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,” said 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. W swojej ostatniej wycieczce, 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. Pochodzi z Orlando, Fla., Lubin is trained by acclaimed coach Kevin Cunningham as he continues his quest toward another title opportunity. Po wspaniałej karierze amatorskiej, Lubin przeszedł na zawodowstwo 18 lat w 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,- powiedział 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!"
Różaniec (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 starcie. The 26-year-old captured the WBA and IBF belts by stopping Julian Williams in one of 2020’s biggest upsets. Urodzony na Dominikanie, a teraz walczy z 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,” said 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.”
Williams z Filadelfii (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,"Powiedział 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, Nowy Meksyk, 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 Igrzyska Olimpijskie. 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. Ostatnio, Akhmedov blasted out Ray Perez in the first round of their September 2020 starcie.
“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.”
Były mistrz wagi super piórkowej, Mendez (25-6-3, 12 KO) ma reputację dostarczającego twardych wyzwań najlepszym sportowcom i okazał się wytrzymałym zawodnikiem waży 140 funtów, including his most recent outing that saw him drop a split-decision to Richardson Hitchins last December. W 2019, Mendez fought to back-to-back draws against super lightweight contenders Anthony Peterson and Juan Heraldez. Urodzony w San Juan de La Maguana, Dominikana, Mendez teraz walczy z Yonkers, N. Y.. i jest właścicielem zwycięstw nad Eddiem Ramirezem, Ivan Redkach i były tytalista Miguel Vazquez. Stał też twarzą w twarz z byłymi mistrzami Rances Barthelemy i Robertem Easter Jr.
“I am ready for anything Akhmedov brings and then a world title fight after,- powiedział 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.”

Oto, co mieli do powiedzenia uczestnicy konferencji prasowej w czwartek:
GERVONTA DAVIS
„Mój zespół i ja zdecydowaliśmy się przenieść nasz obóz do Las Vegas, abyśmy mogli mieć idealny obóz. Wydaliśmy 15 tygodnie na treningu, więc jestem dobrze przygotowany. Miejmy nadzieję, że Leo jest dobrze przygotowany i dajemy fanom to, czego chcą.
„Wiemy, że Leo przyjdzie z wieloma ciosami, a ja będę wybuchowy. Chodzi o to, aby dać fanom przyjemność. Jestem wdzięczny za to, że jestem na tym stanowisku i jestem gotowy. Sobotnia noc będzie niezapomniana.
- Nie wolno mu niczego zabierać, Yuriorkis Gamboa właśnie próbował przeżyć przeciwko mnie. Trudniej jest dostać ciosy, gdy ktoś nie próbuje wywołać walki. Wiem, że Leo przyjdzie walczyć. Myślę, że ten występ przeniesie mnie na wyższy poziom.
„Chyba nie muszę go znokautować, Po prostu muszę tam wyjść i być świetnym. Zapomnij o wszystkim innym, Muszę tylko wyjść i pokazać wszystkim, że jestem najlepszym facetem w świecie boksu. To jest mój główny cel.
„Michael Jordan czytał gazetę i robił to, o czym mówili, że nie może. To jest to co robię. I have to prove that I’m the baddest man in the sport on Saturday night.
“Leo is going to come to fight and it’s just about me stepping up and doing what I do best. You can see the potential in a fighter from the outside, but you have to see it actually come out in a fight to believe it. That’s the position I’m in. Everyone knows I’m great, I just have to show it.
“Leo has shown that he’s a top tier fighter, and he’s going up against an explosive, powerful fighter like myself. I think the winner should be in the top 10 of the pound-for-pound list.
“Floyd Mayweather has just told me to stay focused despite everything that comes with pay-per-view week. I have to get the job done first, ale także robić wszystko, co wiąże się z byciem kolejną gwiazdą pay-per-view.
„Jestem jednym z tych zawodników, którzy wiedzą, jak się skupić, gdy mam przed sobą coś dużego. Żaden z wielkich wojowników przede mną nie zamarzł, kiedy nadszedł czas kryzysu. Zawsze byłem w stanie się skupić, gdy na linii czekają wielkie rzeczy. To właśnie zrobiłem na tym obozie treningowym.
„Nie koncentruję się na nikim, kto nie jest Leo Santa Cruz. Nie mogę przeoczyć Leo. Tak dalece, jak każdy inny wojownik, po prostu nie mają teraz dla mnie znaczenia. Udowodnię to po drodze. Jest to o krok bliżej do udowodnienia tego, co chcę udowodnić ”.
Leo Santa Cruz
„To jest to, o czym zawsze marzyłem. Kiedy byłem małym chłopcem, Chciałem być na tej scenie. I’m living that dream and I’m very happy and excited. I never thought I’d accomplish it. I thought it was like winning the lottery. But thanks to the fans, I’m here where I’m at.
“I’m facing the best fighter in the division. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. I have to go against the best fighter. I wanted to challenge myself. I know this is a dangerous fight for me, but I want to test myself.
“We’ve both suffered and been through a lot to get here. Neither of us wants to go back to where we started. So I know we’re both going to give a great fight to the fans.
“I have the heart of a Mexican warrior. My dad has told me to fight a smart fight, but even though he’s going to say that, there’s a good chance I end up brawling with him at times. Nieważne co, we’re going to find a way to beat him.
“I don’t really worry about being the underdog. Everyone has their opinion. Moim zadaniem jest wyjść tam i udowodnić wątpiącym, że się mylą. I trained hard to go out there and do that Saturday.
“Gervonta is the best opponent I’ve faced. He’s the strongest fighter I’ll have faced. The Abner Mares and Carl Frampton fights were great experience for this kind of fight. I learned a lot from those four fights and since then I’ve learned a lot more.
“It would mean the world to me to become a five-division champion. It would be another dream come true. I would put the Santa Cruz last name right up there with the best.
“Gervonta is a big guy and I know he’s going to come hit hard. But I’ve trained with bigger guys all camp and I’ve been able to take everything thrown at me.
“The fans want you to go and make it a back and forth war. I know against Gervonta I have to fight smart. I’m going to just try as hard as I can to listen to my father’s advice.
“I definitely took this fight to quiet the critics. People said I didn’t want to fight the big names. So I went after the biggest challenge in the division and that’s Gervonta Davis.
“I leave the opinions to the fans and media. My job is to get the win and give the fans a great fight. I’m going to give it my best and leave it all in the ring.”
CALVIN FORD, Davis’ Trainer
“Camp has been great. It was unbelievable. I really appreciate the work that he put in. I can’t wait to see Tank in the ring. I’m looking forward to great performances from both fighters.
“’Tank’ accomplished a lot of things that I’ve asked him to do, but this is the pinnacle of them all right here. Both of these families have walked the same line with different trails. They both have a chance to become greats with this win.
“Every time I look at ‘Tank’ now, I flash back to those younger years in the gym with him as a child. Now he’s the man I’ve always looked at him to be. He’s a family man, business man and a wonderful fighter. It’s amazing to see one of my boys all grown up.”
JOSÉ SANTA CRUZ, Santa Cruz’s Father and Trainer
“We had a really good training camp and understand the importance of this fight. Leo is fully prepared for this fight on Saturday and I expect him to have a great performance.
“I’m very thankful to be here. I’m so happy to be here with my son for such a big fight and be able to guide him and help him accomplish his dream.
“We know that Davis is a very strong and accomplished fighter. But Leo has just used it to motivate him in the gym every day and you’ll be able to see that on Saturday.”
STEPHEN Espinoza, Prezydent, Sport i programowanie zdarzeń, Showtime Networks Inc.
“One of the biggest reasons I love boxing is because we get to witness young men, like ‘Tank’ Davis and Leo Santa Cruz, develop and mature right in front of our eyes. This is our ninth fight with ‘Tank’ and 13thwith Leo. We have seen them mature as fighters and we have seen them mature as young men. We’ve seen them struggle, sweat, and triumph. We’ve seen them become fathers.”
“I remember the first time I met ‘Tank’, it was April 2016 w Waszyngtonie, D.C.. He was on the non-televised undercard of an Adrien Broner fight. He had already fought, he came over during the telecast and Floyd introduced him. I remember his very words, ‘This is my young fighter. Watch out for this kid.’ And we’ve been watching ever since.
“I remember the first time I met Leo was in June 2012. Shortly before his first world title fight. He was a very humble, quiet, soft spoken, almost shy young men. Very different from the guy that I saw in the ring about 48 hours after that. The point is, we’ve been along for the journey of these young men.
“They have been battling the odds, literally since birth. We were lucky enough to spend time with them duringALL ACCESS. They opened their hearts, their minds, and themselves to share their stories. The thing I’ve heard most is that the difficulty about this fight is not whether people want to watch it or whether they’re going to buy it, it’s who they’re going to root for. Because if you know these young men’s stories, what they’ve gone through, and what they’ve experienced, it is incredible.
“The bottom line is in these two young men we have two of the most accomplished and popular young fighters in the sport today. Leo has been a champion almost consistently since 2012. ‘Tank’ had sellouts or near sellouts in Los Angeles, Baltimore and Atlanta, just last year. We have got these two accomplished young men fighting on Saturday night. You have to respect their journey, skąd pochodzą, and respect the teams that come around him.
“We do know what’s going to happen on Saturday night. Leo is going to come into the ring, throw a lot of punches and show an activity rate that’s unlike just about anybody else in the sport. ‘Tank’ is going to show the power, prędkość, and the athleticism that has made him one of the fastest rising young stars that we’ve seen in sport in some time. Poza tym, it will be up to them, just like it’s been up to them for their entire lives.”
O DAVIS VS. SANTA CRUZ Davis vs. Santa Cruz zobaczy trzykrotnego mistrza świata Gervonta „Tank” Davis i czteroligowy mistrz świata Leo „Trzęsienie ziemi” Santa Cruz walka o WBA Super Featherweight i WBA Lightweight Championships w sobotę podczas SHOWTIME PPV, Październik 31 (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT) w imprezie prezentowanej przez Premier Boxing Champions z Alamodome w San Antonio, Teksas.
The stacked undercard will feature unbeaten San Antonio native and WBA Super Lightweight Champion Mario “El Azteca” Barrios defending his title against hard-hitting Ryan “Cowboy” Karl in the co-main event and former super lightweight world champion Regis “Rougarou” Prograis will take on unbeaten contender Juan Heráldez in a 10-round showdown. W otwieracza transmitowane, lekkozbrojni rywale Isaac Cruz i Diego Magdaleno zmierzą się w walce o tytuł eliminatora IBF.
"W październiku 31 everyone will see what I’m capable of," – Heraldez Unbeaten Contender Juan Heraldez Faces Former World Champion Regis Prograis in SHOWTIME PPV®ActionSaturday, Październik 31 Live From the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas in an Event Presented by Premier Boxing Champions NEW YORK – Październik 16, 2020 – Unbeaten super lightweight contenderJuan Heraldez is deep into training camp and shared insights into his preparations as he nears a showdown against former championRegis "Rougarou" Prograis w sobotę, Październik 31 live on SHOWTIME PPV in a Premier Boxing Champions event headlined by Gervonta Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz live from Alamodome in San Antonio.
“It’s been a long eight-week camp preparing for Prograis,” said Heraldez. “We’re fighting a different style of fighter, which is a good thing because he’s the type of fighter who comes to fight. A style like this makes it easier for me to train and prepare.
“Prograis has power, but you have to land it and that’s where my defense comes into play. My defense has always been a factor and it’s something we always tweak and find ways for me to be sharper. On paper his credentials are up there, but in the ring all of that goes out the door. When the bell rings, I’m not thinking about him being a former world champion. I fight and get the job done.”
Heraldez has adapted to the changes produced by training during the pandemic, and has been able to keep focused throughout camp. He credits the infrastructure at the Mayweather Boxing Club, where he trains in Las Vegas, for helping keep things running smoothly as he prepares to face his toughest opponent to date.
“The pandemic has had a slight effect on camp like it has with everything else,” said Heraldez. “There are so many protocols and safety measures, so you can’t just rotate sparring partners as easily as you could before. Adjusting to wearing a mask in the gym and getting tested constantly are things you learn to get used to. The Mayweather Boxing Club has done a great job of keeping the gym clean and safe for all of us. A lot of my stablemates are here in Las Vegas preparing for big fights, so it’s a great feeling knowing that we can come to a gym where safety is the top priority.”
The unbeaten Heraldez will return to the ring after fighting former world champion Argenis Mendez to a draw in May 2019 Showtime. Heraldez had put together an impressive string of victories dating back to a 2017 triumph over then-unbeaten Jose Miguel Borrego, and included a knockout win over Eddie Ramirez in February 2019 leading into the Mendez fight. Heraldez has continued to fine-tune his arsenal heading into the Prograis fight.
“My team and I have been working on various things such as my jab, but most importantly where I am in the ring at all times,” said Heraldez. “My ring awareness has elevated this camp. My coach and I keep things old school, we don’t have a strength and conditioning coach, we work on the basics and get better at them each camp. Boxing is simple. Stick and move and don’t get hit. The training I get from Coach Otis Pimpleton covers so many things such as cardio, technika, ring IQ, itd., so my job is just to listen to my team and trust them when I’m in camp and in the ring on fight night.”
While Heraldez is looking to improve on the draw in his last fight, Prograis will be seeking to bounce back from his first career defeat, a memorable 140-pound unification clash with Josh Taylor. With both fighters hungry for a win on October 31, Heraldez expects an exciting night for fans.
“On fight night, both of our styles are going to make for great action,” said Heraldez. “We both bring a lot to the ring. We’re both fighting to be the best, but on October 31, everyone will see what I’m capable of.” O DAVIS VS.

„To moja druga walka podczas pracy z„ Bones ”Adamsem na siłowni w Las Vegas,- powiedziała Magdaleno. „Właściwie znam go, odkąd skończyłem dziewięć lat, więc uważam go za mojego najlepszego przyjaciela. Ufam mu swoim życiem. Spędziłem trochę czasu przygotowując się do tej walki w Scipio, Utah też, ciągnąc bele siana i wykonując różnego rodzaju ciekawe ćwiczenia. Zrobiłem dobre sparingi tutaj, w Vegas, a nawet pojechałem do Kalifornii na jakiś sparing, zbyt.
„Byłem na jednej z ostatnich kart walki przed pandemią, i jestem zaszczycony mogąc być na pierwszej karcie walki z żywym tłumem od początku pandemii. To był gorączkowy rok, ale cieszę się z tego, gdzie sprawy zmierzają do tej walki. Trener Adams świetnie sobie radzi z treningiem, ale radzi sobie także z moją siłą i kondycją. Ma ogromną siłownię z wieloma zmotywowanymi zawodnikami i wspaniale jest przebywać w takiej atmosferze. A mój narzeczony zajmował się moim odżywianiem przez ostatnie cztery walki. Tak, wspaniale jest mieć również ją zaangażowaną ”.
Magdaleno wraca do akcji po zdenerwowaniu Austina Dulaya w rodzinnym mieście Dulay, Nashville, Tenn. w lutym, rzuca go w rundzie siódmej w drodze do jednogłośnej decyzji w 10 rundach. On przypisuje swojej drużynie na obozie treningowym imponujący występ przeciwko Dulay.
„Zawsze byłem dumny z tego, że jestem profesjonalistą, ale dowiedziałem się, że mogę być bardzo niebezpieczny, gdy otaczam mnie odpowiednią drużyną,- powiedziała Magdaleno. „Wszedłem do tej walki, będąc uważanym za odskocznię dla Dulay, ale pokazałem, że nadal jestem silnym wojownikiem. Ludzie mnie zliczyli i popełnili błąd. Jestem po prostu bardzo szczęśliwy, że znalazłem trenera Adamsa i zorganizowałem wokół siebie porządny zespół. Udało mi się zmienić zdanie ludzi jedną walką. Teraz jestem w eliminatorze tytułu, i ze zwycięstwem w październiku 31, Mam trzecią szansę na tytuł mistrza świata ”.
33-latek przegrał w swoich najbardziej znanych dotychczas walkach, rzucając walki o tytuł do Terry'ego Flanagana i Romana Martineza, oprócz a 2019 przegrana z obecnym mistrzem wagi lekkiej Teofimo Lopezem. Z tymi doświadczeniami i ulepszoną strukturą treningową wokół niego, Magdaleno uważa, że lekcje, które wyciągnął z tych walk, będą miały kluczowe znaczenie w przyszłości.
„Największą rzeczą, której się nauczyłem, jest zachowanie spokoju,- powiedziała Magdaleno. „Kiedy zaczynam myśleć zbyt daleko do przodu, wtedy coś idzie nie tak. Trener Adams ma wspaniały sposób, by utrzymać mnie na ziemi i opanować. Wie, jak mi to uprościć i dokładnie przekazać, co mam zrobić, co sprawia, że jest to dla mnie mniej stresujące. Zrobiliśmy też kilka innych rzeczy, jak poprawianie mojej pracy nóg i kątów, których używam ”.
W 22-letnim Cruzie, Magdaleno stanie naprzeciw szybko rozwijającego się i ekscytującego meksykańskiego wojownika, który chce odcisnąć piętno w swojej największej do tej pory walce. Z 11-letnią różnicą wieku, Magdaleno planuje w październiku wykorzystać swoje bogate doświadczenie na swoją korzyść 31.
„Cruz to coś, co już wcześniej widziałem,- powiedziała Magdaleno. „Walczyłem z wieloma wojownikami w stylu meksykańskim, takimi jak on, którzy nie mają zbyt wielu umiejętności technicznych, ale mają nowoczesny styl. Tak, Myślę, że będę mógł wrócić do tego, co wiem. Muszę tylko zachować płynność i rozdzielić Cruz. Jest facetem, który lubi walczyć wewnątrz i rzucać wieloma ciosami z ręki i hakami. Złamię go tak jak mojego ostatniego przeciwnika ”.
Magdaleno będzie starać się kontynuować renesans swojej kariery w starciu z Cruzem i wrócić na drogę, by zdobyć kolejny tytuł mistrza świata. Ze wszystkim, przez co przeszedł podczas swojej kariery, Magdaleno pozostaje bardzo zmotywowana, by udowodnić krytykom, że się mylą i osiągnąć swój cel zostania mistrzem świata.
„Wiem tylko, że kiedy wszyscy cię liczą, po prostu musisz uwierzyć w siebie,- powiedziała Magdaleno. „Kiedy zdecyduję się odłożyć rękawiczki, stanie się tak, ponieważ chcę, nie dlatego, że inni mówią, że powinienem. Teraz odzyskałem pewność siebie i jestem bardzo zadowolony z tego, dokąd zmierzam . Bycie o krok od tytułu, o którym marzyłem jako dziecko, jest dla mnie ogromnym czynnikiem motywującym. I walczę o swoją rodzinę, zbyt. Jestem teraz inną osobą. Jestem bardziej dojrzały i myślę, że będę w stanie udowodnić to ludziom w tej walce ”.

Barrios trains in Oakland, Kalifornia. under the guidance of renowned coach Virgil Hunter. The five-foot ten-inch Barrios debuted as a super bantamweight in 2013, eventually moving up to 140-pounds full time in 2017 where he is 8-0 with seven knockouts.
“The long layoff is finally over and fans can expect to see me go to war with Ryan Karl, who I know is coming to bring an aggressive fight to the table,” said Barrios. “I’ve stayed in great shape during this past year, so now it’s time for me to keep giving boxing fans exciting fights. I’ll be representing my city of San Antonio and as always, everyone can expect to see me as explosive as ever. Października 31, all the fans watching on pay-per-view will watch me make a statement as I defend my title.”

The 28-year-old enters this fight on a three-bout winning streak, with all three wins coming in 2019, including a knockout of Kevin Watts to avenge one of his losses in an immediate rematch. Karl also owns victories over Kareem Martin and then-unbeaten Jose Felix Quezada during his pro career that dates back to 2014.
“I’ve been training for this my whole life and I’m not going to let it slip away,” said Karl. “We’re working hard in training camp to put on the best performance of my career. We know what we’re up against in Mario Barrios, but I’ve come too far not to take full advantage of this opportunity on October 31.”
A staple of the 140-pound elite, PROGRAMY (24-1, 20 KO) returns to the ring after losing his title in an exciting unification clash via majority decision last October against Josh Taylor. The 31-year-old won his title by defeating Kiryl Relikh by TKO in April 2019 and has also earned stoppage victories over former unified champion Julius Indongo, and then-unbeaten contenders Joel Diaz Jr. and Juan Jose Velasco.

“This is a huge fight and I’m very thankful to PBC for giving me this opportunity,"Powiedział Prograis. “I haven’t fought in a year and since then I’ve done a lot of self-reflection and moved from L.A. back to Texas. I’m more focused than I’ve ever been and I can’t wait to get back to my number one spot in the super lightweight division. I have to be a world champion again and I won’t stop until that happens.”
The 30-year-old Heraldez (16-0-1, 10 KO) can vault himself into the top tier of 140-pound contenders with a career-best victory over Prograis on October 31. Born in Northridge, Cal. and training out of the Mayweather Promotions gym in Las Vegas, Heraldez most recently fought to a majority draw last May against former champion Argenis Mendez. Heraldez’s pro career has also seen him score victories over previously unbeaten Jose Miguel Borrego and tough contender Eddie Ramirez.
“It’s been a crazy year, but I took this opportunity to spend time with my family and sharpen my skills inside the ring,” said Heraldez. “There’s been a lot of great sparring happening at the Mayweather Boxing Club that I’ve taken advantage of. I have a tough opponent in front of me, and that’s my only focus right now. I trust in my ability as a fighter and I trust my team to get me over the finish line with a victory on October 31. I’m thankful to Mayweather Promotions for putting me on such a large platform for this fight.”
Fighting out of his native Mexico City, Meksyk, Krzyż (19-1-1, 14 KO) is unbeaten in his last 15 fights since dropping his sixth pro fight by decision. The 22-year-old knocked out 10-of-13 opponents between 2016 i 2018, before making his U.S. debut in December 2019. That contest saw Cruz earn a unanimous decision over Miguel Perez, which he followed up in February of this year by defeating Thomas Mattice by decision onShoBox: Nowa Generacja.
“Since I started boxing, it has been my dream to fight on this stage in the United States,"Powiedział Cruz. “I know that Diego Magdaleno is a very tough and experienced fighter, but it’s my time on October 31. The fans will see that I have what it takes to be world champion when I beat Magdaleno and announce myself as one of the best lightweights in the world.”
Magdaleno (32-3, 13 KO) enters this fight coming off of an impressive victory over contender Austin Dulay in February that saw him drop Dulay on his way to a unanimous decision. The 33-year-old has challenged Roman Martinez for a 130-pound title and Terry Flanagan for a lightweight crown, while also battling lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez in February 2019. A Las Vegas native, Magdaleno has won four-of-five fights entering October 31, including a 10-round decision over Artyom Hovhannisyan.
“I’ve been super eager to get back into the ring since my last performance,- powiedziała Magdaleno. “That win sparked a fire in me and got me as motivated as I’ve ever been. Now that I’m in a title eliminator, I’m even more excited to return to action. I’m facing another young lion, but he’s lacking the experience that I have. Training with Bones Adams has made a world of difference in my career. I’ve made a transition to being more composed and smarter in the ring. I’m here to make a statement and claim what’s mine. I’m never going to back down until I get that world title.”

„Nie mogę powiedzieć, czy będę miał nokaut, ale Trenowałem bardzo ciężko, a ja koncentruje się na główny cel, który jest dostać wygraną. Wiem, że Gamboa jest trudnym przeciwnikiem, a on położył to wszystko na linii. Jeśli idzie 12 Rundy, to nie ma dla mnie znaczenia. Szukam, aby ta wielka walka dla mnie, a także dla fanów.
„Wierzę, że nie poszły ostatnich dziewięciu rund i jestem niepokonany, więc myślę, że to dobra rzecz dla mnie. Robiłem to przez tyle lat, że wierzę Gamboa nie może przynieść nic do ringu, że nie widzieli.

„Gervonta pukanie swoich przeciwników na zewnątrz i nie mijając dziewiątej rundzie jest dobre dla niego, ale nie sądzę, że nie ma nic wspólnego z moim CV. Mam wobec silniejszych wojowników niż Gervonta i byłem w stanie ich pokonać. On nie przyniesie nic nie widziałem.

„Wiem, że Badou ma długą layoff a on świeży i będzie jeszcze bardziej głodny. Zawsze jestem głodny i że będzie to wielka walka w sobotę w nocy.

Pamiętam, kiedy pierwszy raz rozmawialiśmy o postawieniu tej walki do Atlanty, była tylko jedna nazwa, która była synonimem stukając w rynku, który nie miał wielką walkę w 20 lat. Jeśli chodzi o emocje, nazwa Gervonta Davis idzie w parze.
„Wiedzieliśmy, że cała ta społeczność będzie zaangażowany. Wiemy, że będzie to najbardziej mówił o wydarzeniu i stworzyć buzz, że nie widzieliśmy od wielu lat.
„Mamy wyjątkową undercard, w tym wielkim turnieju głównego wspólnie z Jean Pascal i Badou Jack, który gwarantuję będzie bardzo zabawny mecz. Te dwa zamiar położyć to wszystko na linii.
„Od góry do dołu jest to bardzo zabawne karta. Patrząc na turnieju głównego, jeśli spojrzeć na Gamboa, wiesz, co on przynosi do stołu. Nie kupujesz coś o nim jako starszy wojownik. Ma fenomenalną rodowód i widział wszystko w tym pierścieniu. Jest to bardzo niebezpieczna walka o Gervonta i to, co chcemy. Chcemy tylko najlepsze dla Gervonta.
„Myślę, że Gamboa ma zamiar wydobyć najlepszy w«Tank»w sobotę w nocy. Mamy zamiar dać ci zabawne kartę od góry do dołu, z turnieju głównego, który skończy w nokaut.”

„To wielki weekend dla SHOWTIME jak mamy osiem dużych pokazy bokserskie na następny 10 tydzień, wyposażony w jedne z największych nazwisk w sporcie, a niektóre z najlepszych młodych perspektyw boks za. Nie mogliśmy kopać go z lepszej karty z tym walczyć w sobotę w nocy.
„Nadszedł czas, aby zakończyć wywołanie Gervonta młodą gwiazdę lub wschodząca gwiazda, bo to, co wykazał w tym roku jest to, że jest gwiazdą bonafide. To jest bez wątpienia, gdy idziesz do trzech miast i wydobyć wszystkich ludzi, że ma.
"Pod koniec dnia, Nic z tego sprawy na sobotę. To co kochamy ten sport. Trzeba etykiet, krytycy i wielkie nazwiska, ale nic z tego nie ma znaczenia, gdy dzwoni dzwonek. Każdy z tych sześciu bojowników tutaj walczy jak słabszego, bo już wszystko było underdogs przed.
„Gervonta i Gamboa walka jak są głodne i jak są one zły. Walczą jak jest jedna płytka w środku pierścienia. W przypadku co-main, z Badou Jack i Jean Pascal, Włożę swoje CV przed wszelkimi bojownika w sporcie. Oni walczyli twardą walkę po twardej walce, a oni wciąż walczą na tym etapie. Uzcategui jest jednym z najtrudniejszych dziurkacze w sporcie, i Lionell Thompson szuka jego strzał. Z wszystkich to razem, jesteśmy w na zabawny noc.”
