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

LONDEN (December 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. Met de overwinning, Whyte now has the inside track at a world title fight in 2019.VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2BDKBOP

Whyte (25-1, 18 KO), 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 KO), 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 ronde. 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! Laten we dit doen. 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, December 24 bij 10 p.m. ET / PT op Showtime EXTREME en zal beschikbaar zijn op Showtime op elk moment worden® en 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 & FOTO'S

Laat een reactie achter

KlikHIER Voor foto's

Photographs by: Jamie McPhilimey/Matchroom

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

Whyte (24-1, 17 KO) and Chisora (29-8, 21 KO) 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 Nieuw-Zeeland om de voormalige wereldkampioen Joseph Parker deze zaterdag uit te dagen

Laat een reactie achter
"Ik ga erheen om te winnen, Ik zie mezelf hem knock-out slaan!"

LAS VEGAS (December 10, 2018) - Verstoorde zwaargewicht prospect Alexander "The Great" Flores vertrok een week geleden op een 13 uur durende vlucht van Californië naar Nieuw-Zeeland om de voormalige wereldkampioen zwaargewicht uit te dagen Joseph Parker deze zaterdag (15 december) in Christchurch, Nieuw Zeeland.

“Door Parker te verslaan, kom ik een stap dichter bij mijn doel om de eerste Mexicaans-Amerikaan die wereldkampioen zwaargewicht werd,”Flores zei. "Ik kan me niet voorstellen dat ik verlies, niet zoals ik me voel. Ik heb een lang, hard trainingskamp voor deze strijd. Het is echt een paar jaar geleden, omdat sommige gevechten mislukten. "

Een voormalige World Boxing Council (WBC) Jeugdwereld zwaargewicht Kampioen, de 28-jarige Flores (17-1-1, 15 KO) heeft een nieuwe huurovereenkomst op zijn pro bokscarrière, nu gepromoot door Roy Jones, Jr. (RJJ) Boksen.

“Alex heeft de afgelopen twee maanden hard gewerkt,”ToegevoegdKeith Veltre, CEO / mede-oprichter van Roy Jones, Jr. Boksen. 'Ik geloof echt dat Joseph Parker geen idee heeft waar hij in zit voor met hem. Zoals ik eerder zei, Alex gaat naar Nieuw-Zeeland voor de W, en hij zal het allemaal in de ring achterlaten. Het is een grote vergissing geweest Parker moet Alex over het hoofd zien. "

Op een missie om de eerste Mexicaans-Amerikaanse zwaargewicht te worden kampioen van de wereld, Flores heeft al een belangrijke primeur gehad dit gevecht tegen Parker. Hij maakte zijn eerste vlucht een paar maanden geleden mee doen mediawerk in Nieuw-Zeeland om de Dec. 15 gevecht.

"Yeah,'Legde Flores uit, “Dat was mijn eerste vlucht. Het nam 13 uur, maar ik sliep vijf of zes uur, dus het viel mee, anders dan een beetje koud daar. Nieuw-Zeeland is een prachtig land. Het enige dat ik echt moeten acclimatiseren is het tijdsverschil van 20 uur.

"Ik maak me geen zorgen over de strijd tegen Parker daar. Ik weet dat ik de underdog, maar ik moest van deze gelegenheid profiteren. We waren zou tegen november vechten 24th, dus ik had al lang op zo'n gevecht gewacht. Aan het einde van de dag zijn het gewoon ik en hij in de ring. Ik ga erheen om te winnen, ik snap het mezelf knock-out. "

Parker (24-2, 18 KO) komt van back-to-back verliezen in de Verenigde Staten Koninkrijk, beide door middel van unanieme beslissingen van 12 ronden, respectievelijk, naarDillian Whyte en verenigde wereldkampioen zwaargewichtAnthony Joshua. Parker veroverde de vacante World Boxing Organization (WBO zwaargewicht wereldtitel twee jaren geleden, toen hij een meerderheidsbesluit van 12 ronden namAndy Ruiz, Jr., gevolgd door unanieme en meerderheid 12-ronden beslissingen, respectievelijk, tegenRazvan Cojanu enHughie Woede. Ruiz en Fury waren ongeslagen in hun gevecht met Parker, beide eindigend in meerderheidsbeslissingen en gehuld in scorende controverse.

Flores 'enige verlies als professional kwam 3 ½ jaar geleden tegen voormalig wereldkampioen Charles Martin voor de Noord-Amerikaanse boksorganisatie (BUURMAN) titel, waarin Flores, wie heeft ... gepakt het gevecht met een opzegtermijn van slechts twee weken, werd gestopt in de vierde ronde.

De krachtige Flores, vechten uit Rowland Heights, Californië, realiseert zich dat Parker nog nooit is uitgeschakeld als een professional, plus de Nieuw-Zeelander is voor het eerst thuis vechten 1 ½ jaar, maar hij laat zich er niet van weerhouden een schokkende conclusie voorspellen.

"Hij zal van mij alles een beetje krijgen,"Bloemen voorspeld. "Ik ben een bokser-puncher, maar ik kan op de actie drukken, of staan ​​en punch. Ik ben moeilijk te raken, te. Het gaat niet ver; Ik ben niet neerstorten, Parker gaat ten onder. "

Chance of a lifetime for heavyweight prospect Alexander “The Great” Flores

Hits road to face former world champion
Joseph Parker
December. 15 in Nieuw-Zeeland

LAS VEGAS (November 20, 2018) – Former World Boxing Organization (WBO Youth World Heavyweight Champion Alexander “The Great” Flores, gepromoot door Roy Jones, Jr. Boksen (RJJ), heeft een kans van je leven in december 15, wanneer de getalenteerde 28-jarige Mexicaans-Amerikaan de halve wereld rondreist om de voormalige wereldtitel zwaargewicht Joseph Parker in Nieuw-Zeeland te verslaan.

Vechten uit Rowland Heights, Californië, de hardhandige Flores (17-1-1, 15 KO) is zelfverzekerd als hij thuis traint om het op te nemen tegen Parker in zijn achtertuin.

"Dit gevecht gaat absoluut niet 10 rondes,'Zei Flores. "Ik ga hem knock-out slaan. Veel mensen hebben misschien nog niet gehoord van Alexander ‘The Great’ Flores, maar ze zullen allemaal weten wie ik ben na 15 december. "

Flores 'enige verlies als professional kwam 3 ½ jaar geleden tegen voormalig wereldkampioen Charles Martin voor de North American Boxing Association (NABF) kroon. Bloemen, die het gevecht aangingen met slechts twee weken opzegtermijn, werd gestopt in de vierde ronde.

`` Alexander kan zijn leven ingrijpend veranderen door Parker te verslaan en we zijn ervan overtuigd dat hij naar Nieuw-Zeeland kan gaan en een,”Zei Keith Veltre, co-promotor van Roy Jones, Jr. Boksen. "Alexander heeft kracht in beide handen en hij zal zeker Parkers kin testen. Flores gaat daar niet alleen voor een salaris, hij gaat schokgolven door de bokswereld sturen. "

Een indrukwekkende overwinning op Parker, die zijn laatste twee gevechten heeft verloren tegen de verenigde wereldkampioen Anthony Joshua en Dillian White, zou Flores hoog moeten stuwen in de competitieve zwaargewichtdivisie.

"Ik ben erg blij dat Alex vol vertrouwen naar Nieuw-Zeeland komt,”Merkte Parker op, die traint in Las Vegas. "Voor mij, bij boksen draait alles om de uitdaging, en dit is weer een grote. Ik weet wat er op het spel staat. Ik moet winnen en goed winnen. Ik moet hem knock-out slaan en ik zal hem knock-out slaan, maar daar kan ik me niet op concentreren. Ik moet me concentreren op het verbeteren van elke keer dat ik in de ring sta. "

Parker is nog nooit uitgeschakeld geweest als prof en hij zal voor het eerst thuis vechten 1 ½ jaar.

“Na een ongeslagen run van vijf jaar die Joe helemaal naar de WBO-wereldtitel bracht, we bevinden ons nu in een zeer ongebruikelijk gebied, back-to-back komen verliest,”Merkte Parker’s hoofdtrainer Kevin Barry op. “Joe heeft nog nooit in deze functie gezeten en heeft een topprestatie nodig. Joe staat onder enorme druk om niet alleen dit gevecht te winnen, maar om groots te winnen en zijn carrière weer op de rails te krijgen.

“These guys (Parker and Flores) are the same height (6’ 4”) and both pack a serious punch, so it stacks up as a great contest. Dit is een gevaarlijke strijd, one that Joseph Parker is fighting for his career.”

Parker, echter, may be looking past Flores, according to his recent statements in the media. Eerste, Parker called out Tony Bellew, who just lost to undisputed, undefeated world cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, and then the big New Zealander said he’d like to fight the winner of Whyte-Derek Chisora II.

Ondertussen, Flores is training like Rocky to make a major statement, one that promises to surprise a lot of boxing fans.

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 meer dan 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.

 

 

 

Ongeslagen, 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, December 1 bij Staples Center in Los Angeles.

 

 

 

Hurd (22-0, 15 KO) 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 KO). 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 KO) will continue his quest for a second shot at a heavyweight world championship as he takes on American Travis Kauffman (32-2, 23 KO) in een 10-ronde Bout. 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 KO) will face his sixth opponent of 2018 als hij voldoet aan de Joe Hanks (23-2, 15 KO) 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,” zei Stephen Espinoza, President, Sport en Event Programming, 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. Nu, he returns from a significant injury to risk his titles in his quest to become undisputed 154-pound world champion.”

 

 

 

Tickets voor het evenement, which is promoted by BombZquad Enterprises and Queensberry Promotions, in association with TGB Promotions and DiBella Entertainment, are on sale now and are available via AXS.com. Wilder vs. Fury will be produced and distributed by SHOWTIME PPV. 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. Naar aanleiding van de wedstrijd, 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, Engeland, zal zijn het Amerikaanse maken. 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. In december, 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. Dit is mijn tijd.”

 

 

 

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, van 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 zijn laatste 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,” zei 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, Londen, Engeland, has started his professional career with a 100 percent KO rate after turning professional in 2017 op de leeftijd van 32. Een volleerd amateur, Joyce claimed the super heavyweight silver medal for Great Britain at the 2016 Olympische Spelen. Joyce, who trains in Big Bear, Calif. under renowned trainer Abel Sanchez, maakte zijn U.S.. 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,” said 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, van 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.”
