Digite James “The Beast” Wilson.

 

 

 

Wilson tem todos os atributos das qualidades acima mencionadas. A atleta fantástico, que estava em um campo de treinamento NFL com um fundo em combates que exibe poder feroz.

 

 

 

Wilson, que acaba de assinar com a Golden Boy Promotions, tem um registro de 8-0 com sete nocautes, mas sua história começa mais 20 anos nas ruas de Los Angeles.

 

 

 

Wilson estava passando por tempos difíceis e era sem-teto entre as idades de 13 e 15, onde ele estava dormindo em motéis, bancos de parque, e tomar banho nos parques. Wilson teve uma raspagem com a lei, e que mudou sua vida….para o melhor.

 

 

 

“Eu estava preso, e, em seguida, colocado em um grupo. Isso realmente me fez ter estrutura e me colocou no caminho certo. Eu fiz bem na escola e começou a praticar esportes e agora eu tinha opções positivas na minha vida,” disse Wilson.

 

 

 

Wilson se tornou o jogador do ano Futebol Los Angeles Times Grau, bem como um três-tempo All-cidade da trilha & atleta campo, que lhe rendeu uma bolsa para a Universidade Concord em West Virginia.

 

 

 

Wilson, que se formou com uma licenciatura em sociologia, em seguida, passou a jogar futebol profissional na de todos os lugares, Polônia.

 

 

 

Depois disso, ele ganhou um campo de treinamento convidar com o Chicago Bears. No entanto, ele escolheu seguir uma outra paixão atlético.

 

 

 

“Eu comecei a fazer Kenpo-Karate, Muay-Thai e Kickboxing.” Wilson teve um recorde de Kickboxing profissional de 16-2-1 onde competiu em organizações de topo, como K-1 e Glória.

 

 

Depois disso, Wilson tentou sua mão em MMA e acumulou uma impressionante 5-2 registro e lutou para o Campeonato de Luta Bellator conceituados.

 

 

 

Ainda não satisfeito, Wilson começou o boxe.

 

 

 

Wilson novamente viajou o mundo e começou a sua perfuração para a carreira de pagamento na Nova Zelândia.

 

 

 

“Eu sabia que um promotor na Nova Zelândia, e eu era capaz de lutar contra todas as semanas há. Isso acelerou o meu processo e desenvolvimento. Eu voltei para Los Angeles, e foi capaz de conseguir mais quatro vitórias.”

 

 

 

Em 7-0, Wilson então conheceu antigo jogador indústria de boxe, Jared Shaw.

 

 

 

Shaw viu vídeos de Wilson em sua conta no Instagram, e estendeu a mão para o peso pesado invicto.

 

 

 

“Jared me contatou, e reuniu-se no ginásio, e ele tinha a mesma visão para mim que eu tinha, E o resto é história.”

 

 

 

“Eu vi James como um diamante em bruto,” Disse Shaw. “Ele tem a combinação e velocidade e potência que você não vê na divisão peso pesado. Ele tem que “isto” fator que eu vi com Kimbo Slice. Eu tive a sorte de ter assinado Kimbo fora das lutas que foram vistos no Youtube. Quando Kimbo entrou numa sala, você sentiu a presença e energia. Eu vejo um monte das mesmas qualidades em termos de James sendo que tipo de uma atração. Qualquer um que James confundido com um jogador de futebol ou um artista marcial mista certamente terá as mãos cheias no ringue de boxe. Esta é uma atleta blue-chip, ” Disse Shaw, que cresceu no esporte como seu pai Gary Shaw foi um dos principais promotores no mundo para as últimas três décadas.

 

 

 

 

 

1º trabalho de Shaw era fazer com que James com o treinador certo. Digite Justin Fortune.

 

 

 

“Eu conheci Justin por um longo tempo. Tanto como um treinador de força e condicionamento e como treinador. A maioria iria conhecê-lo ao lado de Manny Pacquiao, mas talvez a maioria das pessoas não sabem que Justin era um prospeto pesado que lutou Lennox Lewis. O que eu gosto mais sobre este emparelhamento é Justin era um peso pesado mais curto, bem, mas um perfurador poderoso. Seus anos de experiência é o que está acontecendo para ajudar James acelerar seu crescimento no esporte. Como uma equipe, temos uma meta para trazer um campeonato mundial de volta para Los Angeles e em tempo hábil,” continuou Shaw.

 

 

 

O próximo passo de Shaw era encontrar o promotor certo para Wilson assinar com, ea dupla encontrou uma das maiores empresas do mundo que estava interessado.

 

 

 

“Um monte de promotores estavam olhando para mim. Eu me encontrei com Golden Boy, e viram o meu talento e visão e eu sinto que eles vão fazer isso acontecer para mim, e me levar para o campeonato mundial dos pesos pesados,” disse Wilson.

Nesta situação, ele trabalhou-se que você tem um grande potencial de Los Angeles lutando de uma empresa de renome mundial com sede em Los Angeles. Agora Golden Boy está no topo do esporte. Eles promovem sem dúvida o lutador top do mundo em Canelo Alvarez, e eles foram capazes de garantir-lhe um acordo sem precedentes com DAZN. Estamos ansiosos para as oportunidades que virão para James, e para mostrar James’ extraordinário conjunto de habilidades. Eu tenho o 100% confiança no Oscar (De La Hoya), Eric (Gomez) e Robert (Diaz) para levar James para o campeonato mundial dos pesos pesados, e ajudar a maximizar o seu potencial de ganhos. Los Angeles nunca teve um campeão Heavyweight, por isso faz todo o sentido que o primeiro deles será com uma equipe baseada Los Angeles completa com James, Justin, Golden Boy e eu. ”

 

 

 

“O que eu gostaria que as pessoas saibam sobre James é que dentro das cordas, ele é um filme Besta e Highlight Humano, então Não pisque. Mas fora do ringue, ele é um pai incrível para seus três meninos. A palestrante motivacional tremenda, e um modelo positivo para os internos-cidades e o resto do mundo. Ele é grande em comunidade e ajudar os jovens. Especialmente aqueles que são maltratado.”

Eu acho que posso ser alguém para as crianças a olhar para cima e deixá-los saber que eles têm um futuro, apesar de qualquer circunstância que estão em. Digo crianças de que suas mãos são armas, sua boca é uma arma, eo único lugar para o combate está dentro de um anel.”

 

 

 

Quando perguntado sobre quem ele quer lutar e que seus objetivos são no esporte, Wilson disse, “Eu não estou olhando para lutar com qualquer um indivíduo especificamente, Eu estou olhando para lutar contra todos eles. Mais importante, Estou aqui para dar aos fãs algo para assistir. Isto é 365 dias de “Besta” estação. É Beast Mode ou Não Mode.”

Training Camp Almost Complete; A Confident and On-Weight Claressa Shields Ready for Hannah Rankin DAZN Showdown on November 17

Women’s superstar and two-division world champion Claressa Shields is in Florida with trainer John David Jackson, finishing up preparations for her showdown with Glasgow, Scotland’s Hannahh Rankin on Saturday, Novembro 17, at the Kansas Star Arena and Casino in Mulvane, Kansas.

 

 

 

Shields (6-0, 2 KOs) will defend her IBF and WBA World Middleweight Championships, and be looking to add the vacant WBC title, against Rankin (5-2, 1 KO) in the 10-round co-featured bout to Salita Promotions stablemate Jarrell Miller’s heavyweight showdown against Romania’s Bogdan Dinu.

 

 

 

Both fights, along with former world champion Brandon Rios taking on Canelo’s brother, Ramon Alvarez, in a super welterweight 10-rounder and former two-time world middleweight title challenger Gabriel Rosado going against once-beaten contender Luis Arias, will be broadcast live on DAZN.

 

 

 

23-year-old Shields, a former two-time Olympic Gold Medallist, has reignited interest in women’s boxing and become a ratings favorite for her nationally televised championship exploits. A proud native of Flint, Michigan, Shields mixes her brash pronouncements of greatness with a genuine and continued effort to inspire female athletes and render aid to members of her home community.

 

 

 

Shields was originally scheduled to face WBC and WBO World Middleweight Champion Christina Hammer on November 17, but the bout was postponed after Hammer withdrew due to medical reasons.

 

Did the change of opponents from Hammer to Rankin affect your training?

 

 

 

I don’t train for my opponents, I just push to get the best out of me, física e mentalmente. If I’m the best ‘me,’ I don’t have to worry about who the opponent is. The change of opponents didn’t bother me at all; the worst thing about this camp for me was just all the date changes – constantly having to get my mind focused on the pace and timing of training depending on the fight date. I can’t wait to get in the ring!

 

You’ve fought at super middleweight 168 and recently at middleweight 160 libras. How is your training, diet and any other efforts different to make 160?

 

 

 

Training is always hard and I’m constantly learning. I’ve had a completely different diet this camp – a real change and a positive one for me. I’ve teamed up with Perfecting Athletes for my daily meals, and I feel great. I’ve always tried to eat healthy but these folks are pros and are more educated in that field than myself. I have this magic drink that makes my stomach smile – I love it! It’s watermelon mixed with a green vegetable. I’m not going to tell you what vegetable it is, but I’ve been drinking it everyday, and I feel GREAT.

 

Your viewership numbers have been very strong. Why do you think people are drawn to you?

 

 

 

I believe that people are drawn to how real and honest I am, tanto dentro como fora do anel. I say what I mean and mean what I say. I’m hard but I have a soft side also. And I think people are drawn to how I fightnot only do I talk a good game but I fight my aoff too! eu dou 1000% every time – I want to change the game and bring a whole new generation of fans to women’s boxing and boxing overall.

 

What do you know about your opponent Hannah Rankin?

 

 

 

I know that my opponent Rankin is very tough and determined to be a world champion. I like her drive, I like her heart. I know that she has been in the ring as a sparring partner for many champions, one being Christina Hammer. So Rankin has seen some good fighters. But one thing is for sure – she has never seen a fighter like me. And since Hammer couldn’t fight because of her medical condition, in many ways the next best thing is to fight and beat her sparring partner and let Rankin tell Hammer what she’s in for when she returns!

 

What needs to be done to solve the Flint water crisis?

 

 

To solve the flint Water crisis, I think that people should continue to give water and also keep it in the news that there is a city in America where, unbelievably, US citizens don’t have clean water. And hopefully the president or our governor do something to fix all the pipes.

 

What’s the secret to becoming the best of the best in any sport?

 

 

 

I believe the secret starts with believing in yourself, being dedicated, working hard and just always striving to be better. I feel I’m my biggest critic when I train and box. It’s hard to watch film of my fights because even though I’m doing 97 things right I just can’t stand to see the 3 things I’m doing wrong. I’m a person who strives to pull out my full potential. It takes guts to be great. Nothing will stand in the way of achieving my goals, which includes being the GWOAT and creating equality for all women fighters when it comes to the money, opportunities and coverage the men get.

LOS ANGELES (Novembro 5, 2018) – WBC World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder held a jam-packed media day Monday in Los Angeles where he discussed his blockbuster matchup against lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury ocorrendo sábado, Dezembro 1 on SHOWTIME PPV® do Staples Center em Los Angeles.

 

 

 

Wilder arrived in Los Angeles, along with trainer Jay Deas, to show off his skills in front of media at Churchill Boxing Club in Santa Monica. The most significant heavyweight event in the U.S. in more than 15 anos, Wilder vs. Fury tests the raw power of the 6-foot-7 Wilder against the unmatched size and mobility of the 6-foot-9 Fury.

 

 

 

Os ingressos para o evento, which is promoted by BombZquad Enterprises and Queensberry Promotions, in association with DiBella Entertainment and TGB Promotions, já estão à venda. Os preços dos ingressos começam em $75, plus applicable fees and are available via AXS.com. Wilder vs. Fury will be produced and distributed by SHOWTIME PPV.

 

 

 

Here is what Wilder and Deas had to say Thursday at media day, where Wilder was joined by his girlfriend Telli Swift and their eight-month-old daughter Kaorii:

 

Deontay WILDER

 

 

 

I feel like I’m at my very best right now. Mentalmente, physically and emotionally I’m ready to go. Tudo é perfeito. I just want to get in the ring and show action. Tyson Fury doesn’t know what he’s gotten himself into.

 

 

 

As a true champion, I know how to adjust to any fighter that’s in front of me. My experience facing fighters of all styles has prepared me for this special fight.

 

 

 

I’ve had tremendous sparring. Every day I’m making adjustments and getting myself right so I can get my timing and style exactly how it needs to be. If the fight was this weekend, Deontay Wilder is ready to go.

 

 

 

Luis Ortiz was the most avoided fighter in the heavyweight division and I understand why he had never gotten the title shot before. I’m the type of fighter who gives people opportunities and he was the fighter I needed to face to prove to the world what I’m all about.

 

 

 

This is not a game for me. Everyone has heard about what it’s like to be in the ring with me, but until you’re in there, you don’t know for sure that what you’ve been hearing is for real. I’m the best in the world. I don’t think any heavyweight has been through what I’ve been through.

 

 

 

I’m training for a certain type of mission. As a fighter I have to have the mindset that I must be ready for anything. Em seguida, once it’s time for the bell to ring, I become ‘The Bronze Bomber’.

 

 

 

Fury has height just like me and he also brings an awkward style like myself. He’s rangy, mobile and he believes he’s the best in the world. You’ll get two giants who are athletic and move around the ring like no one else in this sport.

 

 

 

They say that I have the power and he has the boxing skills. We’ll see on December 1. It’s a puncher versus a boxer. I think the puncher is going to box his lights out, and then I’m going to knock his lights out.

 

 

 

I don’t watch too much film or study guys past getting their style down and seeing how they use their styles. My trainers watch film and use that knowledge to give me advice throughout the fight. I find that my opponents fight differently depending on who they’re facing, so I can’t dwell too much on watching past fights.

 

JAY agradável, Instrutor de Wilder

 

 

 

Tyson Fury is kind of like a Rubik’s cube. But a Rubik’s cube can be solved. Fury is a very versatile fighter who can move, he can box and fight from lots of distances. He’s the total package as a fighter and on top of that he’s strong-willed mentally.

 

 

 

We have our hands full, but I know that Deontay Wilder is the guy to handle Tyson Fury. Deontay is the the right guy to take over boxing and this is the first step in that.

 

 

 

Deontay has had a fantastic camp and we’ve had really good sparring partners. Fury is a tall fighter, but it’s really the athleticism that makes him what he is. We believe we’re better off finding more athletic guys who are slightly shorter than Fury, rather than someone his height who is a statue.

 

 

 

Fortunately Deontay has always been a focused fighter, so keeping him right mentally I don’t think will ever be a problem. Deontay can handle any chaos around him better than anyone I’ve seen. When he says he’s the man for this job, he really means it.

 

 

 

The tough thing with preparing for Tyson Fury is that even he doesn’t know exactly what he’s going to do in there. He can fight lefty, righty, dirty or clean. We’re working on being prepared for all of these things and more.

 

 

 

Both guys are very athletic and very awkward style-wise, but once this fight combusts, it’s going to be phenomenal. You don’t want to blink or go to the bathroom, the pretzel can wait, because you’re going to want to catch every second of it.

TYSON FURY DISCUSSES CRUSHING DOWNWARD SPIRAL AND CAREER COMEBACK IN EMOTIONAL SIT-DOWN INTERVIEW WITH MAURO RANALLO

 

Lineal Heavyweight Champion opens up ahead of his fight against Deontay Wilder December 1 on SHOWTIME PPV®.

If mental illness can bring someone as big as me, as strong as me… to my knees, then it can bring anybody to their knees” – Fury

O QUÊ: Lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury opened up to SHOWTIME Sports® locutor Mauro Ranallo about his years-long struggle with mental health in what Ranallo deemed the most important interview of his career. The two sat down in Big Bear, California where Fury has been training for his December 1 showdown against WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder ao vivo no canal Showtime PPV®.

 

 

Fúria, who shocked the world in 2015 with a unanimous decision victory over former world champion Wladimir Klitschko, details his swift rise to the upper echelon of the heavyweight division, all while battling crippling depression and anxiety that diminished his love of the sport. He recounts his apathy toward boxing leading up to the Klitschko fight and the downward spiral he endured following his historic win.

 

 

Following his win over Klitschko, Fury would fail to face his mandatory challengers and attempted to combat his mental struggles with alcohol and drugs, eventually ballooning to 400 libras. The self-proclaimed “Gypsy King” hit a turning point in October of 2017, when he began to seek help for depression and anxiety and was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, which Ranallo also suffers from.

 

 

Ranallo’s battle with mental illness was recently chronicled in the SHOWTIME documentary BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N’ ROLLER, where the combat sports announcer showcases his struggles and advocates for the shattering of stigmas surrounding mental illness. Like Ranallo, Fury aims to raise awareness of his own struggles and encourage others to seek help.

 

 

“It was like having a fight in my own mind,” Fury said. "[Mental illness] is a silent killer. It is almost like carbon monoxide poisoning because you can’t see it. My calling card is to spread the word on mental health.”

 

 

Fury’s journey back to stardom began with back-to-back wins in his first two fights this past summer. He knocked out Sefer Seferi in June of 2018, and followed suit with a unanimous decision win over Francesco Pianeta in August. His August victory culminated with an in-ring confrontation with Wilder, where the two announced their upcoming heavyweight blockbuster fight.

 

 

The heavyweight showdown headlines the December 1 SHOWTIME PPV ao vivo do Staples Center em Los Angeles (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT). Wilder, who has knocked out all seven challengers of his title, will attempt to make his eighth WBC Heavyweight defense. In the third fight of his comeback, Fury has the opportunity to become a two-time heavyweight world champion.

Women’s Superstar Claressa Shields to Defend IBF and WBA Middleweight Championships and Looks to Add WBC Belt Against Scotland’s Hannah Rankin, Live on DAZN on November 17

No Sábado, Novembro 17, at the Kansas Star Arena and Casino in Mulvane, Kansas, superstar two-division women’s world champion Claressa Shields of Flint, Michigan, will defend her IBF and WBA World Middleweight Championships and be looking to add the vacant WBC title against Hannahh Rankin from Glasgow, Escócia.

 

 

 

The 10-round Shields (6-0, 2 KOs), and Rankin (5-2, 1 KO) battle will serve as the co-featured bout to Brooklyn-born heavyweight contender Jarrell Miller’s WBA World Heavyweight Championship showdown against Romania’s Bogdan Dinu.

 

 

 

These two fights will be broadcast live on DAZN, along with former world champion Brandon Rios taking on Canelo’s brother, Ramon Alvarez, in a super welterweight 10-rounder and former two-time world middleweight title challenger Gabriel Rosado going against once-beaten contender Luis Arias.

 

 

 

Shields was originally scheduled to face WBC and WBO World Middleweight Champion Christina Hammer on November 17, but the bout was postponed after Hammer withdrew due to medical reasons. Hammer has been named a champion in recess during her recovery. The two champions are now projected to do battle in the first quarter of 2019.

 

 

 

“Claressa is a once-in-a-generation athlete that transcends the sport,”Disse seu promotor, Dmitriy Salita. “She will take another step in her goal to achieve the status of GWOAT as she makes the first defense of her middleweight world titles against the skilled and durable Hannah Rankin.”

 

 

 

A bonafide women’s superstar and TV ratings favorite, 23-year-old “T-Rex” Shields is a two-time Olympic gold medallist and already a world champion in two weight divisions. In her fourth professional fight, she won the IBF and WBC Super Middleweight Championships in August 2017 with a dominant stoppage of Germany’s Nikki Adler. Em seguida, in June of this year and in just her sixth pro fight, she dropped down to 160 pounds and won the IBF and WBA Middleweight titles with an exciting unanimous decision over Hannah Gabriels.

 

 

 

“I’m so excited to be able to give my fans another chance to see me defend my championship this year and to have the opportunity to win the WBC middleweight title on November 17,” said Shields. “I appreciate the efforts of Salita Promotions, my manager Mark Taffet, and Matchroom Boxing in putting this fight together so quickly. I will be in great shape and will provide a great performance.”

 

 

 

“I want to thank Salita Promotions and Matchroom Boxing for providing Claressa with another chance to fight this year and an opportunity to attain a third middleweight world championship,”Disse Mark Taffet, gerente de Claressa Shields. “Claressa is hungry and motivated to put on a great performance on November 17 on DAZN. Claressa has lofty goals and I have no doubt that she’s going to achieve every one of them, including fighting and defeating Christina Hammer early next year. I expect Shields vs Rankin to be an action-packed fight that fans will enjoy tremendously.

 

 

 

28-year-old Rankin put in an impressive and brave performance while losing a challenge for Alicia Napoleon’s WBA Super Middleweight Championship in August of this year. Antes disso, she picked up the WBC Silver Middleweight Championship with a dominant victory over Finland’s Sanna Turunen in June.

 

 

 

“I’m excited about the fight and proud to be representing Scotland on such a big stage,” said Rankin. “In boxing, nothing is impossible and on November 17, it will be just us in there when the bell rings and I think it’s going to be one hell of a fight.”

LOS ANGELES (Outubro 25, 2018) – Lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury hosted a Los Angeles media day Thursday at Churchill Boxing Club in Santa Monica as he prepares to take on WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder Sábado, Dezembro 1 from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles on SHOWTIME PPV®.

 

 

 

Fúria, who is training in Big Bear, arrived nearby by helicopter for the media workout to discuss the showdown with Wilder before jumping into the ring to show off the skills that made him an IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight champion.

 

 

 

Os ingressos para o evento, which is promoted by BombZquad Enterprises and Queensberry Promotions, in association with DiBella Entertainment and TGB Promotions, já estão à venda. Os preços dos ingressos começam em $75, plus applicable fees and are available viaAXS.com. Wilder vs. Fury will be produced and distributed by SHOWTIME PPV.

 

 

 

Fury was working out in shorts from Oddball, a company that donates all of its proceeds to research to fight testicular cancer, a cause Fury has championed. Here is what Fury and his trainer, Ben Davison, had to say Thursday from Churchill Boxing Club in Santa Monica:

 

TYSON FURY

 

 

 

This is an important fight for boxing, because it’s two undefeated champions facing off. There have been people not getting in the ring with top guys for whatever reason, but here you have two fighters stepping up and onto the line.

 

 

 

It’s a pretty easy fight to analyze, Deontay Wilder needs to connect with that big right hand and knock me out, and I need to not let him do that. I need to do whatever I can to get out the way of that right hand, and make him worry about defending my punches.

 

 

 

I already became a unified champion; I’ve crossed the bridge into the very upper echelon of the sport. This time I’m back and I’m here for good.

 

 

 

I’m back to reclaim my throne. Even though I’ve had the tune-up fights, I feel like this is my true comeback fight.

 

 

 

I’m used to being in hostile, solitary environments for training camp. For the Wladimir Klitschko fight I was in Holland, in a forest 10 miles away from any shop or town. I thrive in the condition in Big Bear.

 

 

 

There have been no distractions training up in Big Bear. It’s perfect. There’s nothing but a few bears and rattle snakes. That’s it as far as distractions.

 

 

 

I have a great up-and-coming trainer and he’s going to have me ready for the challenge.

 

 

 

I wear these funky shorts in public a lot and I wore them today because they represent a company called Oddballs, and every penny spent on these pants goes to research to fight testicular cancer. A friend of mine went through it recently, and I want to spread awareness for him and this cause.

 

BEN DAVISON, Fury’s Trainer

 

 

 

I have a great sense of Tyson Fury and can feel what he needs when he wakes up each day and walks into the gym. Our relationship has really gelled these last 12 meses.

 

 

 

It’s going to be an action-packed fight that’s for sure. Both men are violent freaks of nature to be honest with you. It’s going to be an epic battle.

 

 

 

I think physically alone you can see how far Tyson Fury has come. That takes a lot of willpower and dedication. He’s put a lot of work in just physically, and that’s really just a slice of what he’s shown in the gym.

 

 

 

All heavyweights can punch, if any one of them hit you on the chin, you’re going to have problems. It’s not the power of Wilder that we’re focusing on, it’s the agility, speed and awkwardness that he brings. We’re studying his habits and watching every little thing that he does in the ring.

 

 

 

It takes fights like these to bring the best out of Tyson Fury. He’s a fighter who raises his game to what’s in front of him.

Las Vegas, NV, (Outubro. 20, 2018)Sometimes things in life are simply quick and painless. Most of the fights at FFC 32 contudo, were actually quick and painful. Knockouts, let’s be honest, usually are quite painful.

 

 

 

Friday night’s Main Event was one of the only fights at FFC 32 (which was an all-MMA event) that did not end in a knockout. Shelton “Gravedigger” Graves (9-3-0) defeated CarlBadwaterSeumanutafa (11-9-0) por decisão unânime (49-46, 49-46, 49-46) to win the vacant FFC MMA Heavyweight Championship Title.

 

 

 

Graves did a great job of avoiding standing toe-to-toe with the knockout artist, Seumanutafa, spending most of the fight pressing the heavy-handed Samoan (Seumanutafa) up against the ropes and using knees to the body and a series of quick uppercuts to frustrate his opponent. A estratégia funcionou, as Seumanutafa was frustrated with the constant pressure, which allowed Graves to keep him on the ropes and against the turnbuckle, taking away any opportunity for a Seumanutafa trademark knockout.

 

 

 

No co-main event, Undefeated Welterweight, Austin “AK-47Vanderford (6-0-0), kept his unblemished record in tact when he rocked EmilsonThe Amazonian Warrior” Freitas (7-3-0) with a nice left hand to the temple at the 1:38 marca de uma rodada. Vanderford wins by KO for only the second time in his professional career.

 

 

 

Previously unbeaten Light Heavyweight, Ivan Erslan (6-1-0), was trying to stay undefeated as a professional but his opponent, Branko Busick (3-1-0) had other ideas. Busick sent Erslan to the canvas at the 4:41 mark of the second round with a solid left hand to the chin and it was all she wrote for Erslan. Busick picks up the first KO victory of his young career.

 

 

 

In the Lightweight division, as promised, it was agrapplers paradisefor as long as it lastedAnd it didn’t last very long. Brandon “KibaRicetti (9-2-0) submitted AdamSmash” Ferreiro (11-10-0) by Arm Triangle at the 4:26 mark of the very first round. If you’re keeping score, all nine of Ricetti’s wins have come by submission.

 

 

 

FFC 32 took place at its permanent home, “Fight Dome”, which is located at Caesars Entertainment’s Rio Las Vegas. The event aired nationwide on CBS Sports Network.

CONFIDENT HUGHIE FURY WRAPPING UP ‘TORTUROUS’ TRAINING CAMP; ARRIVES IN BULGARIA SATURDAY TO FACE KUBRAT PULEV IN ‘FIRE & FURY’ IBF ELIMINATOR ON SATURDAY, Outubro 27, IN SOFIA, BULGARIA

(Outubro 18, 2018) Britain’s IBF #5-rated heavyweight contender Hughie Fury is putting the final touches on a “torturous” training camp and, with his team, will arrive in Sofia, Bulgária, neste sábado.

 

 

Em Sábado, Outubro 27, Fúria (21-1, 11 KOs) vai enfrentar Kubrat “The Cobra” Pulev (25-1, 13 KOs) in a 12-round elimination bout at the Arena Armeec in Pulev’s hometown of Sofia. The winner that night will become the first in line to face champion Anthony Joshua.

 

 

 

O evento, entitled “Incêndio & Fúria” will be presented by Ivaylo Gotzev and John Wirt’s Epic Sports and Entertainment, together with Fury’s promoter, Hennessey Sports, and will be broadcast live in the UK on Channel 5.

 

 

 

“I made a promise to beat Pulev in his own backyard and that’s what I’m going to do,” said a confident Fury. “Nobody else wanted this tough fight. That’s because they’re not future champions. I know what it takes and what you have to do to become the man. I don’t care if I fight Pulev in his own house. He’s in my way of what I want, and he’s got to go.”

 

 

 

Fury and father/trainer Peter Fury have been pushing it to the limit in their Manchester Gym, training twice a day, six days a week for up to three hours per session. But Fury, the current BBBofC British Heavyweight Champion, says all the work will soon be worth it.

 

 

 

“It will all be worth it when my hand is raised,” he continued. “There are no holes in my game right now. I’m at the top of my craft and once Pulev is eliminated, I’ll be coming for Anthony Joshua. He looked vulnerable in his last fight. I’m the one who will capitalize on those vulnerabilities!"

 

 

 

Despite his supreme confidence, defeating Pulev will be no easy feat for 24-year-old Fury. 37-year-old Pulev is one of the most popular athletes in all of Bulgaria, and a former two-time European and IBF International Heavyweight Champion. Pulev’s only career loss came in a challenge for the undisputed heavyweight championship against Wladimir Klitschko em 2014. Britain’s Dillian Whyte and Americans Jarell Miller e Dominic Breazeale all declined to face Pulev before Fury accepted.

 

 

 

“After I walk right into Pulev’s hometown and take him out, something no other heavyweight would even dare to try, everyone is going to be talking about me and Anthony Joshua. I can’t wait to get this job done and move on to the world championship.”
