“This action-packed tripleheader is full of high stakes, toe-to-toe matchups with fighters highly-motivated to make a statement on the big stage,” sagte Tom Brown, Präsident der TGB Promotions. “Brooklyn’s Polish star Adam Kownacki has become a fan-favorite in his hometown and is surely in for a challenge from the always exciting Chris Arreola, as he looks to make a heavyweight statement. Andre Berto is always in action fights and he’ll be looking to hold off the young challenger Miguel Cruz, while Marcus Browne returns off his career-best victory to face battle-tested former champion Jean Pascal.”

“All eyes are on boxing’s heavyweight division, and I am thrilled to welcome Brooklyn’s own contender Adam Kownacki back to our ring for his first time as the headliner,” sagte Brett Yormark, CEO of BSE Global. “Adam has built an enthusiastic fan base in the borough, and I am confident they will be out in full force to support him as he takes on veteran Chris Arreola to earn a title shot in the near future. It will be yet another heavyweight night to remember in Brooklyn.”

Kownacki (19-0, 15 KOs) is noted for his tenacity and has been progressing towards a world title shot with knockouts in five of his last six fights. Die 30-jährige, who was born in Lomza, Poland and moved to Brooklyn when he was seven, was an accomplished amateur in New York City before turning pro. He scored an impressive unanimous decision victory over former world champion Charles Martin last year and is coming off of a devastating knockout victory against Gerald Washington in January on FOX. His last three fights and six of his last seven have taken place at Barclays Center, where he has routinely brought out the area’s passionate Polish sports fans.

“I’m excited to be back in the ring and back at home in Barclays Center, live on FOX and FOX Deportes,” sagte Kownacki. “Fighting Chris Arreola will be another step on my journey to become a world champion. It will be a Polish-Mexican War that will bring fireworks to Brooklyn. Make sure you’re there in Brooklyn or watching in primetime!”

Arreola (38-5-1, 33 KOs), a veteran of the heavyweight division, has contended for the world title three times, most recently against WBC champion Deontay Wilder in 2016. Since losing to Wilder, the 38-year-old Arreola from Los Angeles, California has put together back-to-back victories, including a stoppage of then unbeaten Jean Pierre Augustin on a PBC on FOX Sports pay-per-view undercard in March.

“I can’t wait to step into the ring on August 3 and show everyone I’m still one of the best heavyweights in the world,” Said Arreola. “I feel rejuvenated and ready to upset Adam Kownacki in front of his fans. Er besser bereit sein,, because I’m going to bring it to him like he’s never seen before. This is going to be a war and I will leave with my hand raised.”

Berto (32-5, 24 KOs) has fought some of the top welterweight champions of this generation, including Floyd Mayweather. The 35-year-old won a welterweight world title with TKO victory over Miguel Angel Rodriguez in 2008 and successfully defended it five times before losing it to Victor Ortiz in 2011. He later avenged that loss to Ortiz with a knockout victory in 2016 on FOX. A native of Winter Haven Florida, Berto is coming off a split decision victory over former welterweight champion Devon Alexander in his last fight in August on FOX.

“I’m looking forward to this fight on August 3,” Said Berto. “My focus is different, my motivation is different and my hunger is different. I’ve had a lot happen in my life in a short period of time with the loss of my father and the birth of my new baby girl, Legaci. It’s definitely turned me in to a whole different type of animal. August 3 is going to be cinematic. Barclays Center – see you soon. I’ve got some payback.”

Kreuz (18-1, 12 KOs) is among a group of promising welterweights prepared to burst onto the scene in one of the most talent-rich division in boxing. The 28-year-old from Lake Mary, Florida will be stepping up a level with his bout against Berto. He scored a TKO victory over Luis Eduardo Florez in his last fight in January to bounce back from a decision loss to Josesito Lopez on FOX in April 2018.

“I’m excited for all my Boricuas and NYC fight fans to come out and show love in August 3,” Cruz said. “I want to thank everyone who made this opportunity possible, and I’m definitely going to make the most if it. This is a different era in boxing and I’m here to prove it to the world and to Andre Berto. Don’t miss this night of boxing.”

The 28-year-old Browne (23-0, 16 KOs) won the interim title with a rousing unanimous decision victory over former two-division champion Badou Jack in January. A 2012 U.S.. Olympian from Staten Island, Browne has fought at Barclays Center 12 times in his career as he made his steady climb up the light heavyweight ranks. Pascal will be the second straight former world champion that he has faced.

“I’m honored and grateful to be able to display my skills on this huge platform on FOX and at Barclays Center, which is a second home for me and my boxing career,” Said Browne, who will be fighting at Barclays Center for the 13th time.“I anticipate Pascal bringing everything that he has into this fight because this is make or break for him. Leider für ihn, he will break, as I plan to win this fight decisively and continue my quest for a long and successful championship reign. I expect him to come in as prepared as a championship-caliber fighter and I’m staying motivated to get the win on August 3.”

Pascal (33-6-1, 20 KOs) has been in the ring with the top fighters of his era during his brilliant career, einschließlich Bernard Hopkins, Sergey Kovalev, Carl Froch, Lucian Bute and Chad Dawson. The 36-year-old, who was born in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti und lebt jetzt in Laval, Quebec, Kanada, won the light heavyweight world title with a unanimous decision over Adrian Diaconu in 2009. He is coming off a loss to Dmitry Bivol in his last fight after putting together back-to-back TKO victories over Ahmed Elbiali and Steve Bosse.

“Marcus Browne is one of the most talented fighters in the world and I will have to be at my best to beat him,” said Pascal. “I’ve been training and I will be ready. I’ve got some veteran tricks he’s never seen before. I plan on out boxing him just like every other southpaw I’ve ever fought. I’ve never lost to a lefty and it’s going to stay that way come August 3.”

UNDEFEATED HEAVYWEIGHT PROSPECTS JERMAINE FRANKLIN AND OTTO WALLIN TESTED IN SEPARATE SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION BOUTS FRIDAY, Juli 12 LIVE ON Showtime

Mai 31, 2019 FNU47 Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

***Top American Heavyweight Prospect Franklin Faces Jerry Forrest In Main Event While Sweden’s Otto Wallin Clashes With BJ Flores in Co-Featured Bout***

***Live At 10 p.m. ET/PT From Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Wäsche.***

**NEW YORK** - Kann 30, 2019 – Two top undefeated heavyweight prospects will put their unblemished records on the line when they fight in separate bouts on *ShoBox: Die neue Generation* Freitag, Juli 12 live on SHOWTIME from Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Wäsche.

Top American heavyweight prospect **Jermaine Franklin** returns for his second consecutive test of 2018 auf *ShoBox* against the streaking **Jerry Forrest** in the 10-round headliner. In der Zusammenarbeit vorgestellten bout, undefeated Swedish heavyweight and top-10 ranked contender **Otto Wallin** will battle former world title challenger **BJ Flores** in a 10-round clash on the seventh *ShoBox* Fernsehsendung 2019.

“The heavyweight division is the strongest it’s been in a generation with a number of new faces looking to position themselves for an eventual title shot,Sagte Gordon Hall, Executive Producer von *ShoBox*. “Otto Wallin is on the doorstep based on his rankings in the top 10 but he needs that statement win to get there. BJ Flores is not coming to test Wallin. He is coming to win and feels he has what it takes to teach Wallin a lesson.

“Jermaine Franklin is the best American heavyweight prospect and, at only 25 Jahre alt, still has a ton of growth potential. He passed his first test on ShoBox in April and we look forward to getting a second look at him in another step-up fight. Forrest is far more experienced than Franklin. This will be his fifth fight of 2019, and he is fully aware of what a win will do for his career.”

Tickets für die Veranstaltung, which is promoted by Salita Promotions in association with Brian Halquist Productions, der Verkauf von Samstag, Juni 1 and are available via Ticketmaster and the Emerald Queen Box Office.

“This is an exciting time for the heavyweight division and on July 12 boxing fans will have an opportunity to witness two of the division’s best new faces in significant tests,“, sagte Promoter Dmitriy Salita. “Jermaine Franklin’s goal is to be an American heavyweight world champion, and an impressive performance in a tough matchup with Jerry Forrest will be a significant step in his quest to the title.

“Otto Wallin is an example of what happens when you combine dreams and hard work. He grew up in a small town in Sweden and aims to challenge for the heavyweight world title and follow in the footsteps of Ingemar Johansson. Otto is fighting a proven veteran in BJ Flores who’s only losses have been in world title fights, so I expect it will be an exciting matchup from the opening bell.”

The 25-year-old Franklin (18-0, 13 KOs), from Saginaw, Mich., is a former amateur standout and a 2014 Nationaler Champion der Goldenen Handschuhe. A likely candidate to represent the U.S. am 2016 Olympische Spiele, Franklin turned down the opportunity to compete for a spot on the team and instead chose to begin his professional career in 2015. Widely regarded as the top American heavyweight prospect, Franklin has built his undefeated record with relative ease since turning pro, knocking out nine of his first 10 professionelle Gegner. Franklin made his SHOWTIME debut in the co-featured bout of the Claressa Shields vs. Christina Hammer event in April, earning a unanimous decision over former No. 1-Platz U.S.. Amateur Rydell Booker.

“In my SHOWTIME debut earlier this year, I felt I could have put on a better show but I won and that’s most important,” Franklin said. “Winning this fight is an important step toward my dreams of fighting for a heavyweight championship. This fight also is a chance for the fans to see me more focused and prepared. Jerry Forrest has been around the game for a while and he brings a lot of skills to the ring. I will be ready for him.”

Forrest (25-2, 19 KOs), von Newport News, Va., has won eighteen consecutive bouts since dropping back-to-back contests to world title challenger Gerald Washington and Michael Hunter, whose only professional loss came to former undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. Forrest, a 6-foot-1 southpaw, scored an eight-round unanimous decision over Joshua Tufte his last time out in April.

“This is a long time coming for me,” said Forrest. “My record and my potential are definitely worthy to fight in the main event on national television. This is where I should be. I’m very comfortable and I’m not at all overwhelmed. I’ve fought in the Nationals and big tournaments and I’m not afraid of the spotlight. Franklin throws a lot of punches and tries to bully you out. He’s not super accurate from what I see. He’s a heavyweight who will try to outwork you. I see him as a very similar fighter to Andy Ruiz. My training is going great, I haven’t been out of shape in two years. I’ve been in the gym grinding and doing it old school.”

Wallin (20-0, 13 KOs, 1 ND) machte seine US-. debut on SHOWTIME in April, also on the undercard of Shields-Hammer, but his fight with Nick Kisner was cut short after an accidental headbutt left Kisner unable to continue, resulting in a No Decision. The 6-foot-5 Wallin turned pro in 2013 and has gradually risen in the rankings by recording 20 straight wins in Europe prior to his American debut. The 28-year-old southpaw won the Swedish Boxing Championship at 16-years-old, fought against Anthony Joshua twice as an amateur and was a member of the Swedish National Boxing Team. Currently ranked in the top-ten by both the WBA and IBF, Wallin now has his sights set on becoming his country’s first Heavyweight Champion since Ingemar Johansson in 1960.

“My U.S. debut did not go the way I had hoped and I didn’t get a chance to show off my skills,” said Wallin. “I’m really looking forward to going out there again getting a chance to show a lot more. This is a fight I need to win if I want to go somewhere. I need to win and I need to look good doing it. I need to be sharp at all times and not take anything for granted. This is a sport where everything can change in the blink of an eye.”

Blumen (34-4-1, 21 KOs) Profi wurde in 2003 and has enjoyed a long, successful career competing mostly as a cruiserweight. Undefeated through the first seven years and 25 Kämpfe seiner Karriere, Flores suffered his first setback when he traveled to Australia to challenge Danny Green for his IBO Cruiserweight world title, eine einstimmige Entscheidung fallen lassen. The Arizona native bounced back by winning eight of his next nine fights before getting a second chance at a world title, again traveling to his opponent’s hometown. Dieses Mal, Flores was stopped by WBC Cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew in Liverpool. Flores has since moved to heavyweight, where he has won two of his three fights.

“Not only is this a winnable fight for me, Bin ich 100 percent winning this,” said Flores. “I’m working with [Ausbilder] Angel Heredia and Ibn Cason and world class heavyweight Kubrat Pulev. Working with this team is perfect for getting my strength and conditioning up for this fight, and sparring with one of the top guys in the world in Pulev is making me very sharp. I know Wallin is undefeated and has a good amateur style. He’s tall and has good boxing ability. I know he’s got some talent and is a young up and coming guy. He’ll be trying to make a name for himself off of my name, so I’ll be ready for that.”

Barry Tompkins wird die Aktion vom Ring aus mit dem Boxhistoriker Steve Farhood und dem ehemaligen Weltmeister Raul Marquez als Expertenanalysten abrufen. Der Executive Producer ist Gordon Hall mit Richard Gaughan produzierenden und Rick Phillips Regie.

April 6, 2019 FNU47 Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

**WBO Middleweight Champion Hammer Takes on Fellow Middleweight Champion Claressa Shields for Undisputed Middleweight Championship Saturday, April 13 Live auf Showtime**^®**von Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City**

**Klicken HIER for Video from Salita Promotions**

**ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.** (April 5, 2019) – Before she arrived in New York Thursday for the final part of her training camp, WBO-Mittelgewichts-Weltmeister **Christina Hammer**shared her thoughts on her showdown for the Undisputed Middleweight Championship against WBA, WBC and IBF Middleweight Champion **Claressa Shields** Samstag April 13 live auf SHOWTIME aus der Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J.

Germany’s Hammer has held a middleweight world title since 2010, defending it numerous times including in her U.S. debut last June on SHOWTIME in which she defeated Tori Nelson. Now she looks to stamp her name in the history books in this matchup against Shields that many are calling the most significant fight in women’s boxing history.

Karten für das Live-Event, die durch Salita Promotions wird gefördert, sind zum Preis von $150, $100, $55 und $35 und kann über Ticketmaster und bei . gekauft werdenboardwalkhall.com.

Here are highlights of what Hammer had to say as we head into fight week for this historic event:

***How excited are you about fighting in the U.S.?***

**Christina Hammer:** “I’m really excited about it because this is a very big fight. I can’t wait to get there, step into the ring and put on a great performance.”

***Was bedeutet dieser Kampf für dich?***

**CH:** “This is going to be the biggest women’s fight in history. Wir sind beide Meister, she has Olympic gold medals and other accolades, so with all of that combined, it’s going to be a game changer for our sport.”

***What do you need to do to win?***

**CH: “**I’m a long time champion and I know what to do in the ring. I know I have the skills to beat her. I have great foot work and my goal is to beat her badly.”

***What do you think of Claressa inside and outside of the ring?***

**CH:** “Claressa has obviously accomplished a lot going back to the Olympics. This is a big step for her and I think it’s going to be a challenge for her. As a person, she’s just my opponent, that’s all.”

***Can you describe your style of fighting and what fans can expect on April 13?***

**CH: “**I’m tall for my division so I use my reach. I have great footwork and technique and power and I want to show off all those skills. I’m going to show that Christina Hammer is a great champion. I like to play with my opponent, and when the moment is right, I beat her down.”

***Can you talk about your experiences as a fashion model and why that’s important to you?***

**CH:** “I like modeling because it’s a different part of me. You can be more feminine and athletic. I did my first shoot three years ago and I had never done anything like that. I’ve worked on my skills there too.

“To be a model is an easy job, it just gives me confidence. Being a fighter is hard. You have to give everything, because in the ring you can’t run away. You have to fight and defeat someone.”

***Would you ever want to compete in another sport?***

**CH:** “Ich weiß nicht. Boxing is the best sport to me. It’s my passion. I give everything to the sport and my dream now is to be successful in America.”

***Is there anyone in boxing history you’d have loved to fight?***

**CH:** “Laila Ali was a great champion and If I fought her that would be a great fight.”

***Do you see women’s boxing as a sport on the rise?***

**CH:** “Ja, it’s really grown in recent years. There are more fights on big platforms for us and I think this is just the start.”

***Would you recommend for other women to go into boxing?***

**CH:** “Boxing is a great sport. You need technique, intelligence and it makes you feel more confident. If something happens, you can take care of yourself. It’s the best workout and I suggest it to everyone.”

Shields hat die letzte Woche in Florida mit ihrem Trainer John David Jackson trainiert, nachdem ich die letzten fünf Wochen in den USA verbracht hatte. Olympisches Trainingszentrum in Colorado. Hier ist, was Shields am Donnerstag zu sagen hatte:

**Claressa SHIELDS**

„Christina weiß nicht, was auf sie zukommt. Ich werde diesen Hammer in zwei Hälften brechen.

„Wenn wir drin sind, es geht darum, wer härter zuschlägt. Dies ist ein echter Kampf. Nur weil sie groß ist, bedeutet nicht, dass sie diktieren wird, was passiert. Sie wird viel tun müssen, um mich von ihr fernzuhalten.

„Ich habe zwei olympische Goldmedaillen“, drei Gürtel und mehr kommen. Ich werde alle Titel am Ende der Nacht im April haben 13.

"Ich arbeite hart, sehr hart. Wenn ich ein Mann wäre, Ich wäre wahrscheinlich einer der berühmtesten Boxer da draußen. Es gibt ein Geschlechtergefälle. Wir alle kennen es. Ich arbeite daran, das zu ändern. Wir arbeiten hart, Wir bekommen weniger Geld und weniger Anerkennung, aber die welt verändert sich. Wir ändern es.

„Hammer hat gequatscht, aber ich mache mir keine Sorgen um sie. Ich bin nur bereit für einen Kampf. Sie redet über viele Dinge, die nichts mit Boxen zu tun haben. Ich warte darauf, dass sie sagt, dass sie mich mit einem Uppercut oder so schlagen wird, aber es ist mehr davon.

“Hier in Florida zu sein, um das Camp zu beenden, war wirklich ideal. Ich habe immer noch sehr hart gearbeitet, aber hier habe ich etwas mehr platz und sonnenschein. Es war Zeit für ein paar neue Landschaften im Camp und ich denke, dies war der perfekte Schritt, um mich in die Kampfwoche zu führen.

„Ich habe an meinem ‚Ali Shuffle‘ gearbeitet,’ Dieses Fitnessstudio hat mich inspiriert. Seien Sie nicht überrascht, wenn Sie mich während des Kampfes ausbrechen sehen. Ich habe ein paar Tricks im Ärmel. Bei der Pressekonferenz wird es auch einige Überraschungen geben – ich habe mir ein Outfit ausgesucht, das die Show stehlen wird.“

"Dieser Kampf ist längst überfällig und ich bin nur froh, dass ich meine Chance bekomme, ihr zu zeigen, was ein echter Champion ist.". Jemand geht im April unter 13 und ich verspreche, dass ich es nicht sein werde.

„Die Leute können sagen, dass sie dich nicht beachten und dich nicht studieren, aber sie lügen. Ich bin froh, dass sie mich genau ansieht. Hammer flog einen meiner Freunde als Sparringspartner raus, Nicht einmal wissend, dass sie mich seit Jahren nicht mehr gespart hat und nichts über mich weiß. Es lässt mich wissen, dass ich in ihren Gedanken bin. Sie kann mit Ann Wolfe trainieren und sie wird mich immer noch nicht schlagen.“

ROBERT OSTERN JR. AND RANCES BARTHELEMY MEET IN WBA LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT SATURDAY, APRIL 27 LIVE ON Showtime

***Viktor Postol And France’s Mohamed Mimoune Battle in 140-Pound Title Eliminator Plus Rising Heavyweight Sensation Efe Ajagba Meets Once-Beaten Michael Wallisch on*** SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING^® Tripleheader

**Presented by Premier Boxing Champions from The Chelsea Inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas**

**Tickets on Sale Monday, April 1!**

**LAS VEGAS –** (März 29, 2019) – Ehemaliger Weltmeister im Leichtgewicht **Robert Oster Jr.**and former two-division champion **Rances Barthelemy** will meet for the vacant WBA Lightweight Title on Saturday, April 27 live on SHOWTIME from The Chelsea inside of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING coverage begins at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and will also feature former super lightweight champion **Viktor Postol** taking on France’sMohamed Mimoune in a WBC super lightweight title eliminator, while rising heavyweight sensation **Cartoon Ajagba** looks to remain unbeaten against once-beaten German **Michael Wallisch** in einem 10-Runden-Schwergewichts-Attraktion.

Ostern vs.. Barthelemy pits two highly skilled and explosive former 135-pound champions against each other as they look to grab a title and vault themselves back into the top echelon of the lightweight division.

Easter will return to the ring for the first time since losing his IBF title in a unification showdown with WBC Champion and pound-for-pound great Mikey Garcia last July on SHOWTIME. Barthelemy is undefeated at 135 pounds and returns to the lightweight division for his second fight since losing a 140-pound title rematch to Kiryl Relikh last March on SHOWTIME.

“Two former champions looking to reclaim their championship status speaks for itself in terms of the action and will to win that Easter and Barthelemy will bring on April 27,” sagte Leonard Ellerbe, CEO von Mayweather Promotions. “Both guys have already proven that they have what it takes to take care of business at this level. The eliminator bout, with Postol bringing his experience and Mohamed looking to take advantage of the opportunity, is a great lead-in to the main event attraction. Mehr, Efe Ajagba will bring his A+ game in pursuit of a victory over Michael Wallisch. The fans in attendance at the Cosmopolitanhere in Las Vegas, and tuning in on SHOWTIME, are in for a treat.”

“Ostern vs.. Barthelemy is a true 50-50 fight that will end with one of these fighters leaving the ring with one of the top spots in the lightweight division,” sagte Tom Brown, Präsident der TGB Promotions. “Both are former world champions at lightweight and possess the styles and attributes that should make this an action-packed match. Combined with a very competitive title eliminator between Viktor Postol and Mohamed Mimoune, plus the can’t-miss punching power of Efe Ajagba, this is going to be a dramatic night on SHOWTIME and at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas.”

Karten für das Live-Event, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with About Billions Promotions, go on sale Monday, April 1, und können erworben werden bei www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com or through Ticketmaster.

The 28-year-old Easter (21-1, 14 KOs) won the IBF Lightweight Championship in 2016 by edging an exciting split-decision against then-unbeaten and current IBF titleholder Richard Commey. After two successful title defenses in his hometown of Toledo, Ohio, Easter defeated former champion Javier Fortuna by decision in a January 2018 fight in SHOWTIME.

That victory set up a unification with WBC champion Mikey Garcia, in which Easter survived an early knockdown to push Garcia the full 12 rounds before coming up short on the scorecards. At 5-foot-11, Easter has continued to show the combination of size, skill and athleticism that made him a highly regarded prospect following an amateur career that featured a spot as an alternate on the 2012 U.S.. Olympiamannschaft.

“I’ve wanted to fight Barthelemy since he had the lightweight title and vacated it, and now I have the chance,” said Easter. “He has an awkward style and I’m up for that challenge. I am still coming in as the taller fighter with a reach advantage and I’ll use it to make this fight go how I want it to. He is a former world champion and he is coming to bring it just like I am.”

A decorated Cuban amateur who hails from a boxing family that includes his older brother, Olympic Gold Medalist Yan, and younger brother, unbeaten featherweight Leduan, Rances Barthelemy (27-1, 14 KOs) will return to lightweight to vie against one of the best fighters in the division. The 32-year-old now trains in Las Vegas and previously captured a 135-pound belt by defeating Denis Shafikov in December 2015.

Barthelemy won a 130-pound championship by defeating Argenis Mendez in 2014 and attempted to become the first Cuban three-division champion when he moved up to 140-pounds for his first fight against Relikh, a title eliminator that he won by decision. After dropping the rematch to Relikh in a vacant title fight on SHOWTIME, Barthelemy returned to the ring in December and stopped Robert Frankel.

“I’m looking forward to a great fight against Robert Easter Jr,” Said Barthelemy. “I know I have what it takes to beat him and capture another title and become a three-time world champ. My best performances have come at 135 Pfund. Both of us are former world champions who are hungry and will give the fans a sensational night of boxing. I’ve never lost at lightweight and that will continue on April 27. Don’t miss this fight on SHOWTIME. It’s now or never!”

Originally from Ukraine, but now fighting out of Los Angeles, Postol (30-2, 12 KOs) previously earned a 140-pound world title by knocking out Lucas Matthysse in 2015. The 35-year-old dropped the title in a unification showdown with Terence Crawford in 2016 before bouncing back by defeating then unbeaten Jamshidbek Najmiddinov. Last June he dropped a decision to unbeaten contender Josh Taylor and most recently he defeated Siar Ozgul in November.

The 31-year-old Mimoune (21-2, 2 KOs) has fought professionally since 2010 und wird seinen US-. debut against Postol on April 27. Representing Haute-Garonne, Frankreich, er ungeschlagen in seinen letzten ist 10 Kämpfe aus dem Jahr 2014.

Die 24-jährige, 2016 Nigerian Olympian won the fight without throwing a punch as Harper was disqualified. In his last fight Ajagba, who lives in Stafford, Texas and trains with Ronnie Shields, defeated his toughest competition to date by stopping longtime contender Amir Mansour after two rounds.

Gruppenrabatte sind telefonisch unter 844-BKLYN-GP verfügbar.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Tuesday from Barclays Center:

**Deontay Wilder**

“It’s a pleasure to be back here in Brooklyn. Barclays Center is very close to my heart. I’ve been here so many times and I have a real connection to this arena. I’ve had some of my most memorable moments in the ring here.

“It’s always great to get a mandatory out of the way. They’re like flies buzzing in my ear. I just want to get them out of the way so I can do great things for the heavyweight division. I want one champion, one face, one name, but you need a lot of cooperation to make that happen.

“I want to prove to the world that I’m the best. That’s what I believe in my heart. Until someone proves me wrong, I will continue to believe that. Breazeale is the next man in line. I can’t wait for this one.

“I’m just going to show everyone on May 18. The way I feel right now, the fight could be this week. The champion must always be ready for whatever a challenger can bring.

“I hope he’s training his hardest. I’m glad he has Virgil Hunter on his side to show him something new. Every man I’ve faced; they’ve landed on the canvas. I’m going to continue to do that on May 18.

“No man who gets in the ring will be able to defeat Deontay Wilder. I hold the keys to the heavyweight division. No fighter is doing what I’m doing. I’m trying to give the fans something they’ve never seen before.

“Enjoy this one, because it’s going to be a massacre. Mai 18 will be a beautiful day for me and a beautiful day to see what I’m planning to do for the sport of boxing.”

**DOMINIC Breazeale**

“I’m super excited for this. I’ve been waiting over a year and a half for a shot at this title. I’ve got three knockouts here at Barclays Center and I can’t wait for another.

“I’m a great fighter but there are always things to be learned. I’ve learned a lot already with Virgil Hunter. I bring something that everyone wants to see from heavyweights, and that’s trouble. I’m going to bring pressure and action.

“I’m sick of seeing this guy walking around with his belt. I’m going to put him down. People are going to be rising to their feet when I knock him down.

“I’m so excited to get this fight. I’ve been on Deontay’s undercards and I steal the show every time. Deontay does nothing right in the ring. He looks like a circus-act. All he does is talk. But there’s nothing he can say on May 18.

“Deontay loves to hear his own voice. All he does is talk and talk. It’s time to get in the ring. Nobody can get in there and save him. It’s just me and him. Leather on leather. We’ll see who lands first. Hopefully he gets off the canvas.”

**VIRGIL HUNTER, Breazeale’s Trainer**

“It’s a pleasure to be here at Barclays Center for a heavyweight championship fight. We have a monumental task to try to overcome. Dominic and I connected last month and after a few workouts, we saw we had a good fit and an understanding of what needs to be done.

“Dominic works hard, he’s very determined and he knows that this is his opportunity and he can’t let it slip away from him. He also knows the risk at hand. We’re looking forward to May 18.”

**STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Präsident Sport & Event-Programmierung, Showtime Networks Inc..**

“We are thrilled to be bringing you Deontay Wilder vs. Dominic Breazeale on SHOWTIME. It would be an understatement to say that there has been a lot of speculation regarding Deontay’s future. We’re proud to have him on SHOWTIME. It was critical for Deontay, for the sport and his fans, that this fight be available not on pay-per-view, but on SHOWTIME. Because of his insistence, that’s the primary reason we’re standing here today.

“SHOWTIME is where this fight belongs. We’re the home of the biggest fights and best talents, month in and month out. This is where a heavyweight title fight belongs. This will be Deontay’s 12^th appearance on SHOWTIME and or SHOWTIME PPV and we’ve built something special.

“Recently ESPN named its World Fame 100, which lists the most talked about athletes in the world. Deontay is ranked 34, two slots behind Tom Brady and higher than any other active boxer in the sport. He’s a bonafide superstar, there is no question.

“Dominic Breazeale is big, stark, experienced and powerful. Above all, er ist motiviert. It’s no secret that there is a personal rivalry between these two fighters. This will not be a friendly promotion. There is genuine animosity. This is a premium fight and this is the heavyweight championship on May 18 live on SHOWTIME.”

Profil der USA Boxing Alumni Association: John “The Quietman” Ruiz

März 14, 2019 FNU47 Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

Von den Projekten bis zum Besitz der ultimativen Krone des Boxens

COLORADO SPRINGS, Runde. (März 12, 2019) – Von den Projekten bis zum Besitz des wohl angesehensten Einzeltitels im Sport, **John “The Quietman” Ruiz** bleibt der einzige Latino, der den begehrten Weltmeistertitel im Schwergewicht holt.

Ruiz, 47, ist ein stolzer puerto-ricanischer amerikanischer Boxer, der in einem Chelsea aufgewachsen ist, Massachusetts. Die zweimalige World Boxing Association (WBA) Schwergewichts-Champion, besiegt USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Famer **Evander Holyfield** im zweiten von drei Titelkämpfen, zum ersten Mal sichern, die Welt-Schwergewichts-Krone.

Ein geschmückter Amateurboxer, Ruiz kompiliert a 50-5 Rekord, ähnlich wie sein letztes Profi-Rekord von 44-9-1 (30 KOs) zwischen 1992-2010, inklusive Gold- Medaillenleistungen bei den All-New England Championships, USA Boxing National Championships und das Los Angeles Olympic Festival, die ihn zum No . erhob. 1 Position im Halbschwergewicht in den US-Ratings.

Ruiz war auch ein herausragender Allround-Athlet an der Chelsea High, besonders im Fußball, in dem er ein All-Star war. Er begann mit dem Boxen im Alter von sieben Jahren, schließlich entwickelte er seine Fähigkeiten im Somerville Boxing Club.

“Boxen war der einzige Sport, von dem ich dachte, dass ich gute Erfolgschancen habe,” Ruiz (hier ganz links abgebildet) erklärte, warum er Boxen im Gegensatz zu Fußball oder einer anderen Mannschaftssportart verfolgte. “Die anderen Sportarten musstest du aufs College gehen, und ich hatte keine Noten.”

Ruiz hat es nie bereut und kein Boxer hat jemals mehr aus seinen gottgegebenen Fähigkeiten herausgeholt als er. Nach dem Gewinn seines ersten Turniers (PAL in New Jersey), er wurde Teil des USA-Teams, das nach Schweden reiste, um an einem Dual-Meet teilzunehmen.

“Außerhalb von Puerto Rico (er lebte dort für 6-7 Jahre in seiner frühen Jugend),” Ruiz erinnerte sich gerne daran. “Ich war noch nie außerhalb der Vereinigten Staaten gereist. USA Boxing gab mir die Möglichkeit, dorthin zu reisen, Australien, Italien und überall in den Vereinigten Staaten. Noch mehr, als mich diese Erfahrungen auf die Profiränge vorbereitet haben, es hat mir einen Vorgeschmack auf die Lebenserfahrung gegeben, Reisen an Orte, die ich alleine nie hätte bereisen können. Amateurboxen hat mir auch Struktur und Selbstvertrauen gegeben, als ich Profi wurde. Ich habe auch so viele verschiedene Leute kennengelernt, Kämpfer und Trainer, aus der ganzen Welt.”

Zusätzlich zu seinem bereits erwähnten Sieg beim Los Angles Olympic Festival, was ihn als Team USA-Mitglied qualifiziert hat, um an den Weltmeisterschaften in Australien teilzunehmen (fertig 6^th in der Welt), vielleicht war der Höhepunkt seiner Amateurkarriere das Besiegen **Torsten May**, die 1992 Olympiasieger aus Deutschland, bei einem dualen Treffen in Florida.

“Meine Verbindung mit John geht auf das Jahr 1990 zurück,” zusätzlich **Al Valenti**, Berater für USA Boxing Special Projects. “Ich war begeistert, dass ein Einheimischer seine Fähigkeiten im Boxring verfeinerte. John hatte in den frühen neunziger Jahren einen unglaublichen Einfluss auf die nationale Amateurboxszene; bis zu den Olympischen Prüfungen in Worcester (MA). Die Teilnahme an den Prüfungen war für mich etwas ganz Besonderes, weil John so ein großartiger Teilnehmer und ein braves Kind war. Boxgeschichte wird einen Platz für John Ruiz . haben, nicht viele haben überlebt 36 Runden mit Evander. Der erste Latino World Heavyweight Champion zu sein war eine ziemliche Leistung für “The Quietman”.

Ruiz wurde Profi im August 20, 1992, gewinnt eine einstimmige Entscheidung über vier Runden über Kevin Parker. Während seiner Profikarriere, er besiegte zeitgenössische Top-Namen wie Holyfield,**James Thunder**, **Jerry Ballard**, **Fernely Felix**, **Kirk Johnson**, **Fres Oquendo**, **Andrew Golota** und **Jameel McCline**.

März wurde Geschichte geschrieben 3, 2013 in Las Vegas, als er erst der zweite Kämpfer wurde, der Holyfield auf dem Weg zu seinem WBA-Titelgewinnkampf durch eine einstimmige Entscheidung über 12 Runden fallen ließ, Dies brachte ihm sofortige Berühmtheit als erster Latino ein, der den begehrten Weltmeistertitel im Schwergewicht trug.

“Ich bin sehr stolz, das geschafft zu haben,” er machte weiter, “Aber mein Hauptziel war es, für meine Familie zu sorgen, und dieses Ziel habe ich immer beibehalten. Die meisten Kämpfer haben keinen Erfolg, aber am ende des tages, das hat mich getrieben. Ich denke nicht wirklich daran, der einzige Latino zu sein, der den Weltmeistertitel im Schwergewicht gewinnt, aber doch, wenn ich heute Leute darüber reden höre, Ich denke, Beeindruckend, Ich bin immer noch der einzige Latino, der das macht.”

Vor einigen Jahren, Ruiz hat ein Fitnessstudio eröffnet (Quietman Sport Gym) in Medford, MA, nicht weit von wo er in Chelsea aufgewachsen ist und in Somerville trainiert hat. Es ist ein eingetragenes Clubmitglied von USA Boxing seit 2012, aber doch, wichtiger, es ist Ruiz’ Art, dem Amateurboxen etwas zurückzugeben.

“Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass es notwendig war, mehr Kindern zu helfen und ihnen die Möglichkeit zu geben, das Haus zu verlassen und etwas Produktives und Lustiges zu tun,” Ruiz kommentierte. “Sie alle haben die Chance, an Selbstvertrauen zu arbeiten und man könnte vielleicht Weltmeister werden. Ich fühle mich verpflichtet, Kindern zu helfen, weil ich mich vor Jahren daran erinnere, als ich in der gleichen Position war. Sie brauchen Anleitung. Wenn ich nicht all die Unterstützung hätte, die ich beim Aufwachsen hatte, Ich wäre nicht so geworden, wie ich es getan habe. Ich möchte Kindern helfen, ihre Ziele zu erreichen.”

Heute, John lebt in Palm City, Florida. Er ist ein Justizvollzugsbeamter für das Martin County Sheriff Department. “Als Profi zweimal den Weltmeistertitel zu gewinnen, war großartig,” Ruiz schloss, “aber die Amateure haben mir definitiv mehr Spaß gemacht als die Profis, obwohl ich gerne die USA bei Olympia vertreten hätte. USA Boxen hat meinen Geist für verschiedene Dinge geöffnet, Nimm mich von den Straßen von Chelsea, damit ich mich fühle……Besondere.”

John Ruiz hat immer gepredigt, “Folge deinen Träumen!” und das macht er heute noch.

HYLTON READY TO ‘MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN’ IN 2019

März 14, 2019 FNU47 Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

Portland, Maine (März 11, 2019) - New England Fights (NEF) heavyweight ‘Rasquatch’ ‘The Jamaican Shamrock’ Ras Hylton (3-2) had a mixed bag of a mixed martial arts (MMA) run in 2018. Hylton recently joined host Jason Floyd on The MMA Report podcast to discuss the ups-and-downs of the last year and his goals for 2019.

After losing a fight in New York last May, Hylton rebounded with a beautiful knockout victory over longtime MMA veteran Eric Bedard (6-8) in Rhode Island last August. The win put Hylton in the position to fight Yorgan De Castro for the inaugural NEF Cruiserweight title, a 225-pound division that Hylton has been championing for the widespread adoption of in MMA. De Castro and Hylton shared a wild two-and-a-half minutes in the cage before De Castro ultimately knocked out Hylton to win the title.

“I was trying to change things up and, du weißt, it’s kind of like playing with a chemistry set for the first time,” Hylton said in describing his 2018. “You get a bunch of ingredients, and elements, and chemicals in front of you and some you’re familiar with and some you’ve got to learn and tinker with some before you can really hone down what it’s going for.”

A lifelong martial artist, Hylton credits his father for putting him on the path that lead to his eventual career choice as a professional fighter.

“Ever since I started learning how to box a little bit with my dad when I was a kid, I’ve always been fascinated with fighting in general,” Hylton told Floyd. “He never really would have wanted me to be a fighter, but he put a bug in and I never really let go, so it was just the next logical evolution of my learning was getting in there and testing it out in an environment that supports growth and change. So, it’s been a great learning experience. I’ve met a lot of great people and had a lot of fun doing it.”

It’s no secret to anyone that has seen Hylton compete in the cage that he prefers the standup aspect of the sport as opposed to the ground game, but when asked why he choose to pursue mixed martial arts competition over boxing, he answered without hesitation.

“The variety and the options available,” Hylton replied. “Don’t get me wrong, I completely respect boxing as a sport, but the fact that there’s so much focus on just the upper body and punches to the head and more frequently than not. Ich meine, we’re all looking for the knockout shot, but MMA offered the opportunity to really open up and give us more of a realistic approach to one-on-one combat. I mean as long as you play fair, you get to use all the same tools and figure out how to play a different kind of game that still beats the other guys.”

Standing at 6’6”, Hylton has become known for his menacing height as much as he has for his memorable performances in the cage. However, Hylton was quick to note that his height can be both a blessing and a curse when it comes to combat.

“It definitely focuses things for both myself and my opponent,” Hylton stated. “I’ve got a body type that speaks very blatantly of what the advantages are and what the disadvantages are, so it really helps to focus the training and where’s there fewer big people than there are small people, you need some sort of way to fine tune things as quick as possible. Sie wissen, there’s not much of a learning curve before you start getting hurt by it.”

Hylton’s next fight is set for April 27^th when he takes on Charles Penn at “NEF 38: Stormborn” in Portland, Maine. Penn, who fights for Hyaston MMA, will be traveling from North Carolina for the bout.

“This has been probably the biggest question mark fight I’ve ever had,” Hylton stated. “I mean, at least with everybody who’s come before there’s been some avenue of recent information, but I mean he did bring his amateur career, 6-3, but his last fight was, Was? 2013? So, there’s a big question mark there, there’s a big gap there, where he could have gone in any direction. So it’s kind of simplified things for me, because now I get to just stick to my plan of using 2019 to do what I have to do to be the best fighter I can be. So, I get to keep on at him. I don’t have the distraction of trying to figure out the other guy. It’s really played towards my mental strengths to start off this year.”

“Execution,” Hylton continued. “Execution of the game plan is what I’m really looking to stick to from here on out. I want to take this as far as I can go. I want to go up as high as I can. And I’ve been lucky with the support that I’ve got between my family and my gyms to be able to do something that really makes me feel whole. I want to pay back that investment in full and with as much interest as possible, as soon as possible. I’m in my 30’s now, got to make something happen, du weißt?"

NEF nächste Mixed-Martial-Arts-Veranstaltung, “NEF 38: STORMBORN,” findet am Samstag statt, April 27, 2019 bei Aura in Portland, Maine with a bell time of 7 Uhr. Tickets sind ab sofort erhältlich unterwww.AuraMaine.com.

JOYCE FACES ACID TEST AGAINST STIVERNE AT THE O2

Undefeated British sensation Joe Joyce faces Former World Champion Bermane Stiverne

Defends Commonwealth title alongside return of Former World Champion Lee Selby on massive DeGale v Eubank Jr. Karte, LIVE on ITV Box Office

Fast rising star makes fearless move in just EIGHTH pro fight to fast track towards World Title

Stiverne says it will be Joyce’s nightmare when he gets knocked out

Legendary promoter Don King promises to ‘Re Joyce’ when Stiverne recreates McCall victory over Lewis in London

London(23 Januar 2019) Poxon Sports and PBC are delighted to announce that heavyweight sensation Joe Joyce will defend his Commonwealth title in the biggest test of his unbeaten career when he takes a gigantic leap up to confront the Former WBC World Champion Bermane Stiverne on Saturday 23rd February at The O2, exclusively live on ITV Box Office.

Joyce vs. Stiverne, promoted by Poxon Sports in association with Ringstar Sports and Don King Productions, will feature alongside the return of Former IBF World Featherweight Champion Lee Selby as one of the chief-supporting contests on an action-packed show, headlined with the thrilling all-British clash between fierce rivals James DeGale and Chris Eubank Jr.

The 6ft 6in ‘Juggernaut’ from Putney, South West London, has destroyed all seven of his opponents since turning professional in October 2017 after capturing the Silver medal at the Rio Olympics and has singled himself out as one of the most feared talents in the heavyweight division.

It’s a monumental test for Joyce to be facing a former World Champion in just his eighth fight, the rock-solid and sledge-hammer hitting Stiverne, born in Montreal, Kanada, of Haitian descent and based out of Las Vegas, has fought some of the biggest and best in the division, including Deontay Wilder and Chris Arreola.

The fight has added bad blood thrown in resulting from a sparring session between Joyce and Stiverne in which Joyce was angered by comments from Stiverne in an interview afterwards when he said he took Joyce to school.

Joyce said, “I had respect for Bermane Stiverne. We sparred in Las Vegas; he said he took me to school in an interview etc, it got ugly and it made this fight happen. I tried to be respectful of him, but he’s rude and was having none of it. He is a former World Champion that has gone 12 rounds with Deontay Wilder and will give me a real challenge; but my engine and my power will be too much for him, a fact he should be aware of!"

Joyce’s promoter Richard Schaefer, Vorsitzender und CEO von Ringstar Sports, sagte,, “After only seven fights Joe Joyce has become the number five ranked Heavyweight in the world. But the spectacular way in which he has won all of his seven fights by knockout have made him the number one fan favourite in the Heavyweight Division. Taking on the heavy-handed Former World Champion Stiverne shows that no challenge is too big for Joe as he continues to march towards the Heavyweight World Championship. Simply put: Joe Joyce has become must see TV, so make sure to tune in on February 23 or come and watch him live at the O2 in London!"

Stiverne DiRita, “I told my promoter Don King to get me any man on earth and I will fight for the right to prove myself to the world. Then the phone rings, it’s Don, he tells me Joe Joyce – a boxer with only seven bouts – agrees to meet me! ‘Seven bouts?’. Seven fights and he has the audacity to box me? I have stopped Chris Arreola, Ray Austin, the then undefeated Kerston Manswell – and a boxer with seven fights wants to box me?!.’ I said to Don ‘Sign it, take it, grab it,’ I’m ready. Seven fights – and he wants to box me? For me it is a dream come true – but for Joyce it will be a nightmare. I will knock out Joe Joyce and step over him to KO Anthony Joshua. I’m primed and ready. The real Bermane Stiverne will be there on February 23 and will knock out Joe Joyce en route to regaining my heavyweight crown.”

Stiverne’s legendary promoter Don King, zusätzlich, “It is with my greatest pleasure that Don King Productions can announce our return to Jolly Old England – the ‘Cradle of Boxing” where my pugilistic giant – the Former Heavyweight Champion of the World Bermane Stiverne begins his comeback at the expense of the Giant Joe Joyce. Unfortunately, for the local fans of Joe there will no ‘re Joycing’ – as my once – and future champion Bermane Stiverne will slay Joyce just like St. George did the dragon of old. But no matter, we will pick up the pieces and bring back Joyce just as I have brought back and helped build many a future together. I recall when I came here with Oliver McCall and he was given no chance against Lennox Lewis. Then the underdog became the top dog when Oliver KO’d the previously unbeaten champ and we went home with the title. History will repeat itself of February 23 when Bermane sends another undefeated Englishman to defeat. Now retooled, resuscitated, renewed, rejuvenated and recommitted Bermane Stiverne will resurrect his career on February 23 when the ‘Lord of Ring” crushes the “Lord of the World” – ‘Juggernaut” Joyce on his inexorable march to regain the heavyweight championship of the world. Bless all British fans, God Save the Queen – but heaven help Joe Joyce! We will see you on February 23rd.”

WBC World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder also put forward his thoughts on the intriguing match up, sagte er, “Joe Joyce will be a good test for him (Stiverne). I’ve seen Joe Joyce before. Er ist ein guter Kämpfer. Joe Joyce fought Joe Hanks on my undercard with Tyson Fury but I didn’t get a chance to see him fight that night. But I’m looking forward to seeing him against Stiverne.”

Richard Poxon, UK Promoter for PBC, sagte,, “I’ve known Joe from his amateur days up in Sheffield. His success at the Olympics didn’t surprise me at all. He’s transitioned well to the pros now and is clearly in a hurry. The heavyweight division is the one that everyone is looking at again and I fully expect Joe to be in the thick of the action in the coming year. Taking on a former WBC World Champion in only your eighth fight clearly shows what Joe’s ambitions are.”

Since embarking on his pro career in his quest to become World Heavyweight Champion, the quietly spoken Joyce has let his destructive fists do the talking in making bold statements to make the boxing world sit up and take notice of the fast-rising star.

Im Oktober 2017 he astounded critics when he choose to fight the hardened Former British title challenger Ian Lewison, who had just extended big-punching Dillian Whyte to ten rounds, for his pro-debut and pounded him down in eight rounds.

Then in only his fourth fight with only 12 rounds under his belt and inside seven months of turning pro, Joyce demolished the Commonwealth Heavyweight Champion Lenroy Thomas in just two rounds – setting a new record by heavyweight boxer to win the Commonwealth belt.

In seinem letzten Kampf, American fights fans got a brief taster of what the British star is all about when he smashed through Joe Hanks in a round to win the WBA Continental title at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles in making his glittering U.S debut.

oyce, now ranked #5 in the world by the WBA and progressing quickly towards a World Title shot, faces unquestionably his sternest career test to date against the vastly experienced and equally big-hitting Las Vegas based Haitian who has knocked out 21 opponents of his 25 wins in his 29 Kampf Karriere.

Stiverne formerly held the WBC crown for two years after defeating Chris Arreola on points in April 2013 to win the title and then in the rematch destroying him inside six rounds in the first defence of the title in May 2014.

The rock solid Stiverne then pushed the dynamite-punching Deontay Wilder the full twelve round distance in the next defence of his WBC World Heavyweight title clash in January 2015. Stiverne became the first man to take Wilder beyond who at that point had obliterated all his opponents inside four rounds. In the rematch nearly three years later, Stiverne stepped in at the last minute when Wilder’s original opponent Luis Ortiz failed a drugs test and due to his inactivity was stopped in a round.

Stiverne is now looking to return to the elite heavyweight mix and a victory over Joyce would propel him back into the limelight and on course towards a potential world title opportunity.
