Watch the Whyte KO of the Year Candidate: https://s.sho.com/2BDKBOP

LONDON (Dezember 22, 2018) –Dillian Whyte delivered a Knockout of the Year candidate with a devastating left hook in the 11th round in a dramatic rematch of one of 2016’s best fights between two top-rated heavyweight contenders Saturday in London in a SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL telecast from The O2 Arena. Mit dem Sieg, Whyte now has the inside track at a world title fight in 2019.VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2BDKBOP

Whyte (25-1, 18 KOs), who entered the fight holding the No. 1 ranking in the WBC and WBO, used a lethal left hook in the eleventh round to end the rematch, which was just as thrilling and memorable as the 2016 clash, in dramatic style. The highly competitive, back-and-forth bout was evenly contested from the opening bell. Chisora (29-9, 21 KOs), who was perhaps the more aggressive fighter, was deducted two points, once for a low blow in the eighth round and once for an elbow in the 11th Runde. Despite the two-point deduction, Chisora was ahead on two scorecards, 95-94, at the time of the KO. Anthony Joshua, who called the fight ringside for Sky Sports, went face-to-face with Whyte following the bout.

“That left hook is my money shot. That shot is going to put a lot of people away,” said Whyte, whose only professional loss came to Joshua in 2015. “They can train for it as much as they want. I’ve been in deep waters and I can swim. I was in great shape. I wasn’t tired once, I was just pacing myself and I knew the knockout was going to come. Whoever wants it can get it. I want Joshua next! Let’s do this. Rematch!"

“Let’s forget about what’s happened in the past. We were at British level in our last fight and now we’re at world level,” replied Joshua, who holds the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles. “It was a good fight back then but let’s see where we’re at right now. If anybody deserves a world title shot, I think it’s Dillian. Deontay Wilder is the target, but if it’s not him, it’s Dillian Whyte.”

Saturday’s SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL telecast will replay on Monday, Dezember 24 bei 10 p.m. ET / PT auf EXTREME Showtime und wird auf Showtime ANYTIME zur Verfügung® und Showtime-on-Demand®. 

The one-fight telecast from London was hosted by Brian Custer and Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood. Live fight coverage was provided by Sky Sports Box Office with Adam Smith calling the action and former world champion Carl Froch and Joshua providing expert analysis.

DILLIAN WHYTE vs. DEREK CHISORA FINAL PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES & FOTOS

LONDON(Dezember 20, 2018) – Top-rated heavyweight contenders Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora took part in the final press conference before their highly anticipated rematch Saturday, Dezember 22 leben auf Showtime um 5:00 p.m. ET / 2:00 p.m. PT from The O2 in London.

Whyte (24-1, 17 KOs) and Chisora (29-8, 21 KOs) will run back one of 2016’s best fights as the bitter rivals will continue what they started two years ago with Whyte narrowly edging Chisora in a close all-out war. The winner will have the inside track at a possible future mega-fight with IBF, WBA and WBO Champion Anthony Joshua, who will be in attendance Saturday night.  

The SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL telecast is hosted by Brian Custer and Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood. Live fight coverage will be provided by Sky Sports Box Office.

Here is what the principals had to say Thursday from the Canary Riverside Plaza Hotel in London:

DILLIAN WHYTE

“There are levels to this thing and my levels just keep rising. I keep improving. Derek will see how strong I am come Saturday night.

“This is boxing and I’m used to people saying, ‘I’m going to do this or that’ to get into my head. I’ve been around long enough and heard fighters say ‘I’m going to come out banging in the first round,’ and then they come and do something else. So I don’t think Derek himself knows what he’s doing or where he’s going.

“I respect everyone. It’s a tough job getting in the ring. I respect everyone from the journeyman to the world champion of the sport.

“You know me, I do whatever it takes to get the win. I don’t need to get up and shout, ‘I’m going to do this or that.’ I just conserve my energy. I’m relaxed. You guys know what I bring and that I can fight, and I can box, and I can hit. You guys know my power. So I don’t have to sit here and scream about what I’m going to do. There will be blood on Saturday night.”

DEREK CHISORA

“David [Haye] put together the pieces for my training. He didn’t train me, but he sat me down and said, ‘This is what we’re going to do to get what we want to get.’ It’s gone well training-wise and lifestyle-wise. Now it’s time to go to war and have a great fight.

On his table-throwing episode during the last press conference two years ago:

 “I think the tables are screwed down so you won’t have to worry about that. I don’t think I’m going to do that anymore. I do something when I want to do something and now I’m just happy that training’s gone well and everyone’s fine in my camp.

“I’m going to bring the same game I do for every fight and we’re going to come to fight. His coach says that his fighter will be a boxer and all of that. But truly he’s not in the ring and Dillian’s the one that has to fight and he’s going to try to run, or he can meet me in the middle which would be great for me. Whatever game plan they have is fine. We will come in and seek and destroy.

“The first fight was a great fight. The boxing fans loved it. My brain cells didn’t love it but I enjoyed it. We are going to drown him from the get-go. We know he’s fit, but we want to see how fit he is. We’re going to go BOOM from the gates.

“I don’t want this to go to points. I’m going to knock the sucker out. Hundred percent. I’m going to hit him. I’m going to pound him.”

MARK TIBBS, Whyte’s Trainer

“Ninety-nine point nine percent of the time, a good boxer will beat a good brawler. [Dillian] is not only just a good boxer, he’s a boxer-fighter. We will box and fight our way to a very good victory. It ain’t going to be easy, but we will meet him and greet him and beat him to the punch.”

DAVID HAYE, Former Heavyweight Champion and Chisora’s Manager

“I think Derek has always had in him what he needs to be one of the best heavyweights on the planet. He’s had opportunities in the past but hasn’t capitalized on them the best he could and I think he realizes that now. His experiences have taught him that he needs to work hard and make the sacrifices, and that’s what he’s done. He no longer does the things he used to do and when he stands on the scales tomorrow, you’ll be able to see.

“I’m very confident and I know he has the capabilities. I’ve been in there with him, and I’ve felt his power and his presence in the ring. I’ve seen it. The intensity and ferocity I’ve seen in sparring shows that he’s coming for war. I think the first time he didn’t have 12 rounds of war in him. I think this time he does. I think the power Derek brings will make Dillian very uncomfortable, but the fans are going to love it.”

EDDIE HEARN, Head of Matchroom Boxing

“The winner of this fight Saturday night is so important to the global heavyweight scene and so much is at stake.

“I think the crowd is going to be with Chisora. You know the British fans love the underdog. What makes this fight intriguing to the average fan is that these guys are both characters and very entertaining fighters. At the first fight I sat next to Wladimir Klitschko and he said, ‘I don’t think this fight is going to be very good.’ And after three rounds we looked at each other just shaking our heads.

“The Whyte fight is a big fight for Anthony, but I will stress again the one fight we want is with [Deontay] Wilder. We’re talking now. People shouldn’t assume the rematch with Fury is happening because the deal won’t be that easy. It never is for a fight of that size. It all depends really on Wilder; if he wants to be undisputed and if that matters to him. He can fight Fury after if he believes he can beat A.J. We don’t get chances very often to have undisputed champions, and that’s what everyone wants.

Alexander “The Great” Flores In New Zealand to challenge former world champion Joseph Parker this Saturday

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar
“I’m going there to win, I see myself knocking him out!"

LAS VEGAS (Dezember 10, 2018) – Upset-minded heavyweight prospect Alexander “The Great” Flores departed a week ago on a 13-hour flight from California to New Zealand to challenge former world heavyweight champion Joseph Parker an diesem Samstag (Dec.15) in Christchurch, Neuseeland.

“Beating Parker will get me a step closer to my goal to be the first Mexican-American to become world heavyweight champion,” Flores said. “I can’t picture myself losing, not the way I feel. I’ve had a long, hard training camp for this fight. It’s really been a couple years, because some fights fell through.”

Ein ehemaliger World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World Heavyweight Champion, the 28-year-old Flores (17-1-1, 15 KOs) has a new lease on his pro boxing career, now promoted by Roy Jones, Jr. (RJJ) Boxen.

“Alex has worked hard during the past two months,” addedKeith Veltre, CEO/co-founder of Roy Jones, Jr. Boxen. “I truly believe Joseph Parker has no clue what he is in for with him. Like I said before, Alex is headed to New Zealand for the W, and he will leave it all in the ring. It has been a huge mistake on Parker’s part to overlook Alex.”

On a mission to become the first Mexican-American heavyweight champion of the world, Flores has already had a significant first leading up to this fight versus Parker. He experienced his initial flight a few months ago to do media work in New Zealand to promote the Dec. 15 Kampf.

"Ja,,” Flores explained, “that was my first flight. Es dauerte 13 Stunden, but I slept five or six hours, so it wasn’t too bad, other than being a little cold there. New Zealand is a beautiful country. The only thing I really need to acclimate to is the 20-hour time difference.

“I’m not concerned about fighting Parker there. I know I’m the underdog, but I had to take advantage of this opportunity. We were supposed to fight November 24th, so I had already waited a long time for a fight like this. At the end of the day it’s just going to be me and him in the ring. I’m going there to win, I see myself knocking him out.”

Parker (24-2, 18 KOs) is coming off back-to-back losses in the United Kingdom, both by way of 12-round unanimous decisions, beziehungsweise, bisDillian Whyte and unified world heavyweight championAnthony Joshua. Parker captured the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO heavyweight world title two years ago, when he took a 12-round majority decision overAndy Ruiz, Jr., followed by unanimous and majority 12-round decisions, beziehungsweise, gegenRazvan Cojanu undHughie Fury. Ruiz and Fury were undefeated going into their fights with Parker, both ending in majority decisions and shrouded in scoring controversy.

Flores 'einziger Verlust als Profi kam 3 ½ years ago against former world champion Charles Martin for the North American Boxing Organization (NACHBAR) Titel, in which Flores, who took the fight with only two weeks’ notice, wurde in der vierten Runde gestoppt.

The powerful Flores, fighting out of Rowland Heights, Kalifornien, realizes Parker has never been knocked out as a pro, plus the New Zealander is fighting at home for the first time in 1 ½ Jahre, but he is not deterred from predicting a shocking conclusion.

“He’s going to get a little bit of everything from me,” Flores forcasted. “I’m a boxer-puncher, but I can press the action, or stand and punch. I’m tough to hit, too. It’s not going the distance; I’m not going down, Parker’s going down.”

Hits Road gegen den ehemaligen Weltmeister
Joseph Parker
Dezember. 15 in Neuseeland

LAS VEGAS (November 20, 2018) - Ehemalige Weltboxorganisation (WBO Jugend-Weltmeister im Schwergewicht Alexander "The Great" Flores, gefördert von Roy Jones, Jr. Boxen (RJJ), hat eine einmalige Gelegenheit Dezember 15, als der begabte 28-jährige Mexikaner um die halbe Welt reist, um in Neuseeland gegen den ehemaligen Welt-Schwergewichts-Titellisten Joseph Parker anzutreten.

Kampf aus Rowland Heights, Kalifornien, die hartnäckigen Flores (17-1-1, 15 KOs) ist zuversichtlich, als er zu Hause trainiert, um sich Parker in seinem Hinterhof zu stellen.

„Dieser Kampf geht auf keinen Fall 10 Runde,Sagte Flores. "Ich werde ihn ausschalten. Viele Leute haben vielleicht noch nicht von Alexander 'The Great' Flores gehört, aber sie werden alle wissen, wer ich nach dem 15. Dezember bin. "

Flores 'einziger Verlust als Profi kam 3 Vor ½ Jahren gegen Ex-Weltmeister Charles Martin für die North American Boxing Association (NABF) Krone. Blumen, die den Kampf mit nur zwei Wochen Kündigungsfrist aufgenommen haben, wurde in der vierten Runde gestoppt.

"Alexander kann sein Leben dramatisch verändern, indem er Parker besiegt, und wir sind zuversichtlich, dass er nach Neuseeland gehen und eine Überraschung machen kann.",“ sagte Keith Veltre, Co-Promoter von Roy Jones, Jr. Boxen. „Alexander hat Macht in beiden Händen und er wird Parkers Kinn sicherlich testen“. Flores geht nicht nur wegen eines Gehaltsschecks hin, er wird Schockwellen durch die Boxwelt schicken.“

Ein beeindruckender Sieg gegen Parker, der seine letzten beiden Kämpfe gegen den vereinten Weltmeister Anthony Joshua und Dillian White verloren hat, sollte Flores im kompetitiven Schwergewicht nach oben bringen.

„Ich bin wirklich froh, dass Alex voller Zuversicht nach Neuseeland kommt,“ bemerkte Parker, wer trainiert in Las Vegas. "Für mich, Beim Boxen dreht sich alles um die Herausforderung, und das ist noch ein großes. Ich weiß, was auf dem Spiel steht. Ich muss gewinnen und gut gewinnen. Ich muss ihn KO schlagen und ich werde ihn KO schlagen, aber darauf kann ich mich nicht konzentrieren. Ich muss mich darauf konzentrieren, jedes Mal besser zu werden, wenn ich in den Ring steige.“

Parker war noch nie als Profi ausgeschieden und wird zum ersten Mal in zu Hause kämpfen 1 ½ Jahre.

„Nach einem fünfjährigen ungeschlagenen Lauf, der Joe bis zum WBO-Weltmeistertitel führte, wir befinden uns jetzt auf sehr ungewöhnlichem gebiet, hintereinander verlieren verliert,“, bemerkte Parkers Cheftrainer Kevin Barry. „Joe war noch nie in dieser Position und braucht eine Spitzenleistung. Joe steht unter enormem Druck, nicht nur diesen Kampf zu gewinnen, aber um groß zu gewinnen und seine Karriere wieder in Gang zu bringen.

"Diese Männer (Parker und Flores) sind gleich hoch (6’ 4”) und beide haben einen schweren Schlag, Es ist also ein großartiger Wettbewerb. Dies ist ein gefährlicher Kampf, eine, die Joseph Parker um seine Karriere kämpft.“

Parker, jedoch, kann an Flores vorbeischauen, nach seinen jüngsten Aussagen in den Medien. Erste, Parker rief Tony Bellew, der gerade gegen unbestritten verloren hat, Ungeschlagener Weltmeister im Cruisergewicht Oleksandr Usyk, und dann sagte der große Neuseeländer, er würde gerne gegen den Gewinner von Whyte-Derek Chisora ​​II kämpfen.

Mittlerweile, Flores trainiert wie Rocky, um ein großes Statement abzugeben, einer, der viele Boxfans überraschen wird.

Heavyweight Contenders Luis Ortiz and Joe Joyce Compete In Separate Bouts and Look To Position Themselves For Title Shot In Resurgent Division

NEW YORK (November 9, 2018) – The most significant heavyweight event in the U.S. in mehr als 15 years will feature an undercard lineup of stellar fighters including the return of a unified world champion and two of boxing’s hardest-hitting heavyweights.

 

 

 

Unbesiegt, unified 154-pound world champion Jarrett Hurd along with heavyweight title contender Luis Ortiz and top heavyweight prospect Joe Joyce will fight in separate bouts on the SHOWTIME PPV® undercard of the Deontay Wilder vs. Luis Ortiz heavyweight blockbuster event presented by Premier Boxing Champions on Saturday, Dezember 1 im Staples Center in Los Angeles.

 

 

 

Hurd (22-0, 15 KOs) returns for his first fight since unifying the super welterweight division earlier this year to defend his IBF and WBA titles against British Commonwealth champ Jason Welborn (24-6, 7 KOs). Hurd, who edged Erislandy Lara in a leading candidate for 2018 Fight of the Year in April on SHOWTIME, will enter the ring for the first time since undergoing rotator cuff surgery as he targets another title unification in 2019.

 

 

 

Cuban heavyweight slugger Luis Ortiz (29-1, 25 KOs) will continue his quest for a second shot at a heavyweight world championship as he takes on American Travis Kauffman (32-2, 23 KOs) in einem 10-Runden-Kampf. Ortiz went toe-to-toe with Wilder in another contender for Fight of the Year in March on SHOWTIME and returns for his third bout of 2018 with his sights set on a rematch with Wilder.

 

 

 

In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME PPV, 2016 Olympic Silver Medalist and unbeaten heavyweight Joe Joyce (6-0, 6 KOs) will face his sixth opponent of 2018 als er trifft Joe Hanks (23-2, 15 KOs) in a 10-round heavyweight bout.

 

 

 

“This fan-friendly undercard features two participants from 2018 Fight of the Year candidates, Jarrett Hurd and Luis Ortiz, along with one of the hottest rising talents in the heavyweight division,” sagte Stephen Espinoza, Präsident, Sport- und Eventprogrammierung, Showtime Networks Inc.. “Heavyweight boxing has re-captured the world’s attention and both of these potentially explosive fights will help shape the future of the division. Jarrett Hurd emerged as one of boxing’s most exciting fighters in unifying the super welterweight division in 2018. Jetzt, he returns from a significant injury to risk his titles in his quest to become undisputed 154-pound world champion.”

 

 

 

Tickets für die Veranstaltung, Dies wird von BombZquad Enterprises und Queensberry Promotions gefördert, in association with TGB Promotions and DiBella Entertainment, are on sale now and are available via AXS.com. Wilder vs. Fury wird von SHOWTIME PPV produziert und vertrieben. The suggested retail price (SRP) for the pay-per-view telecast is $64.99 for standard definition.

 

 

 

Hurd, who hails from Accokeek, Md., floored Erislandy Lara in the final minute of their unification showdown to earn the narrow split-decision victory over the divisions’ longest-reigning champion. Nach dem Kampf, Hurd underwent surgery and subsequent rehab to repair a rotator cuff. Hurd won the IBF title with a TKO of Tony Harrison in 2017 and handed Austin Trout his first loss via knockout later that year. The 28-year-old is known for his all-action, fan-pleasing style that had seen him record seven straight stoppages prior to his decision win over Lara.

 

 

 

“‘Swift’ is back and Christmas is coming early,” Said Hurd. “This is the perfect way to get ready for 2019. I expect it to be a big year with big fights that the fans will love. I’m locked in right now and ready to put on a great performance against Jason Welborn. Tune in on December 1, because I promise you it won’t go 12 rounds.”

 

 

 

Jason Welborn, from West Midlands, England, wird seine US-machen. debut on the heels of two wins over previously once-beaten Tommy Langford for the British middleweight title in 2018. Langford now moves back to the 154-pound class, where he has faced Matthew Macklin and Liam Smith in all-British encounters.

 

 

 

“Jarrett Hurd is a big talent who holds all the belts and I respect the challenge he poses,” said Welborn. “I was a huge underdog against Tommy Langford in May and I came through and shocked Britain. Im Dezember, I’m going to shock the world. I’ve been in training camp since my last fight and I’ve already been preparing for Hurd’s style. Das ist meine Zeit.”

 

 

 

The 39-year-old Ortiz returns to STAPLES Center for his second consecutive fight in Los Angeles after scoring a second-round knockout of Razvan Cojanu in July. In a March, Ortiz nearly had Wilder out on his feet in the seventh until he ultimately succumbed to Wilder’s power in the 10th round, suffering the first loss of his professional career. A consensus top-5 heavyweight, Ortiz will look for another knockout as he hopes to earn a rematch with Wilder in the revived heavyweight division.

 

 

 

“I feel blessed to be on the Wilder vs. Fury card and competing on a huge night of boxing in front of a full house,” Said Ortiz. “In my last fight at STAPLES Center the fans showed me so much love and I can’t wait to be back. I know Travis Kauffman has a good record and I know he’s definitely got heart. If all goes as expected and Wilder puts Fury to sleep like I think he will, I want another shot at him ASAP. It will be an epic rematch between me and Wilder.”

 

 

 

Kauffman, Reading, Penn., is coming off a majority decision over Scott Alexander in May in which the two heavyweights traded first round knockdowns. Kauffman is 14-1 (1 NC) in seinem letzten 16 fights with the sole loss coming to Amir Mansour in March 2017.

 

 

 

“I’m looking forward to stepping up and challenging myself in an exciting fight,” sagte Kauffman. “Luis Ortiz is the second best heavyweight in the world next to Deontay Wilder. But I’m the toughest fighter you’ll ever face. This is my chance to prove that I’m a great fighter and I’m excited to do it on this huge stage.”

 

 

 

The 6-foot-6 Joyce, von London, England, has started his professional career with a 100 percent KO rate after turning professional in 2017 im Alter von 32. Als versierter Amateur, Joyce claimed the super heavyweight silver medal for Great Britain at the 2016 Olympische Spiele. Joyce, who trains in Big Bear, Calif. under renowned trainer Abel Sanchez, machte seine US-. debut in September with a fifth-round knockout of Iago Kiladze.

 

 

 

“It’s an honor to be part of this huge event and I give a lot of credit to Joe Hanks for stepping up and taking this fight,” sagte Joyce. “Hanks has a good record, but I am coming to take him out. If everything goes to plan and I come through this fight as I should, I am ready for a big fight early next year to show that I’m a force in this division.”

 

 

 

Hanks, von Newark, N. J., started his career with a 21-0 run before suffering consecutive losses to Andy Ruiz Jr. in 2013 and Derric Rossy in 2014. After a three-and-a-half-year layoff following the loss to Rossy, Hanks, who lives in downtown Los Angeles, has recovered his form and returned to score a unanimous decision over Joel Caudle and a first round knockout of Terrence Marbra in consecutive fights.

 

 

 

“It feels good to be in the mix and getting exposure with the top heavyweights,” said Hanks. “I bring speed, athleticism and power to this fight. I’ve got a lot of great experience in my career sparring against guys like Deontay Wilder and Wladimir Klitschko, so I’m comfortable against a guy like Joe Joyce. I live in Los Angeles now and this is going to be like fighting in my front yard. I’m going to be feeling good on fight night.”
