FULL INTERVIEW:

 

 

 

 

Introducerea senzației de greutate grea neînvinsă James “Bestia” Wilson

Golden Boy intră “Modul Bestie sau Modul Fără”
Jared Shaw a reușit o ofertă promoțională de cerneală Heavyweight recent cu Golden Boy Promotions

Los Angeles, CA. (Noiembrie 8, 2018) – Într-o epocă în care boxul greoi este din nou o diviziune fierbinte. Întrebarea este încă pusă, cine va fi următorul Mike Tyson ca artist knockout? Sau sporturile precum fotbalul și baschetul i-au luat pe cei mai buni bărbați mari departe de box?

 

 

 

Intră pe James “Bestia” Wilson.

 

 

 

Wilson are toate atributele calităților menționate mai sus. Un sport extraordinar, care se afla într-un lagăr de antrenament NFL cu un fundal în lupte care afișează o putere feroce.

 

 

 

Wilson, care tocmai a semnat cu Golden Boy Promotions, are un record de 8-0 cu șapte lovituri, dar povestea lui începe 20 cu ani în urmă pe străzile din Los Angeles.

 

 

 

Wilson trecea prin momente grele și era fără adăpost între vârstele 13 și 15, unde dormea ​​în moteluri, bancuri de parc, și duș în acele parcuri. Wilson avea o legătură cu legea, iar asta i-a schimbat viața….pentru mai bine.

 

 

 

“Am fost închis și apoi plasat într-un grup. Asta m-a determinat să am structură și m-a plasat pe drumul cel bun. M-am descurcat bine în școală și am început să joc sport și acum am avut opțiuni pozitive în viața mea,” spuse Wilson.

 

 

 

Wilson a devenit jucătorul de fotbal din Los Angeles Times High School, precum și un traseu în trei orașe & Atlet de teren, care i-a câștigat o bursă la Universitatea Concord din Virginia de Vest.

 

 

 

Wilson, care a absolvit o diplomă în sociologie, apoi a continuat să joace fotbal profesionist în toate locurile, Polonia.

 

 

 

După aceea, a câștigat o invitație în tabără de antrenament cu Chicago Bears. Cu toate acestea, a ales să urmeze o altă pasiune atletică.

 

 

 

“Am început să fac Kenpo-Karate, Muay-Thai și Kickboxing.” Wilson a avut un record profesionist de Kickboxing 16-2-1 unde a concurat în organizații de top precum K-1 și Glory.

 

 

Dupa aceea, Wilson și-a încercat mâna la MMA și a ridicat un impresionant 5-2 înregistrează și luptă pentru apreciatele Campionate de luptă Bellator.

 

 

 

Încă nu sunt mulțumit, Wilson a început să facă box.

 

 

 

Wilson a călătorit din nou pe glob și și-a început perforarea pentru cariera salarială în Noua Zeelandă.

 

 

 

“Am cunoscut un promotor în Noua Zeelandă, și am putut să lupt în fiecare săptămână acolo. Asta mi-a accelerat procesul și dezvoltarea. Am revenit la Los Angeles, și a reușit să obțină încă patru victorii.”

 

 

 

La 7-0, Wilson a cunoscut apoi un jucător de lungă durată din industria boxului, Jared Shaw.

 

 

 

Shaw a văzut videoclipuri cu Wilson pe contul său de Instagram, și a întins mâna grea neînvinsă.

 

 

 

“Jared m-a contactat, și m-am întâlnit la sală, și el a avut aceeași viziune pentru mine pe care am avut-o, iar restul este istorie.”

 

 

 

“L-am văzut pe James ca pe un romb grosier,” spuse Shaw. “El are combinația și viteza și puterea pe care nu le vedeți în diviziunea grea. El are asta “aceasta” factor pe care l-am văzut cu Kimbo Slice. Am avut norocul să-l fi semnat pe Kimbo din luptele care au fost văzute pe Youtube. Când Kimbo a intrat într-o cameră, ai simțit prezență și energie. Văd o mulțime de aceleași calități în ceea ce privește James fiind acel tip de atracție. Oricine a greșit pe James cu un jucător de fotbal sau un artist marțial mixt, cu siguranță va avea mâinile pline în ringul de box. Acesta este un atlet albastru, ” spuse Shaw, care a crescut în sport, deoarece tatăl său Gary Shaw a fost unul dintre cei mai buni promotori din lume în ultimele trei decenii.

 

 

 

 

 

Prima treabă a lui Shaw a fost să-l aducă pe James cu formatorul potrivit. Intră pe Justin Fortune.

 

 

 

“Îl cunosc pe Justin de mult. Atât ca antrenor de forță și condiționare, cât și ca antrenor. Cei mai mulți l-ar cunoaște de partea lui Manny Pacquiao, dar poate că majoritatea oamenilor nu știu că Justin era un potențial greu care s-a luptat cu Lennox Lewis. Ceea ce îmi place cel mai mult la această împerechere este Justin, de asemenea, un greutate mai scurtă, ci un perforator puternic. Anii săi de experiență sunt ceea ce îl va ajuta pe James să își accelereze creșterea în sport. Ca o echipa, avem un obiectiv de a readuce un campionat mondial în Los Angeles și în timp util,” continuă Shaw.

 

 

 

Următoarea mișcare a lui Shaw a fost să găsească promotorul potrivit pentru care va semna Wilson, iar duo-ul a găsit una dintre cele mai mari companii din lume care era interesată.

 

 

 

“O mulțime de promotori se uitau la mine. M-am întâlnit cu Golden Boy, și mi-au văzut talentul și viziunea și simt că vor face asta pentru mine, și du-mă la Campionatul Mondial de Greutate,” spuse Wilson.

 

 

 

Shaw a vorbit puternic despre căsătoria dintre luptător și promotor.

 

 

“Este situația perfectă. Golden Boy Promotions este unul dintre liderii sportului nostru atunci când vine vorba de companii de promovare. In aceasta situatie, s-a gândit că aveți o perspectivă grozavă de la lupta din Los Angeles de la o companie de renume mondial cu sediul în Los Angeles. În prezent, Golden Boy se află în vârful sportului. Ei promovează, probabil, cel mai înalt luptător din lume în Canelo Alvarez, și au putut să-i asigure o înțelegere fără precedent cu DAZN. Așteptăm cu nerăbdare oportunitățile care vor veni pentru James, și să-l arătăm pe James’ set extraordinar de abilități. eu am 100% încredere în Oscar (De La Hoya), Eric (Gomez) și Robert (Diaz) să-l conducă pe James la campionatul mondial Heavyweight, și contribuie la maximizarea potențialului său de câștig. Los Angeles nu a avut niciodată un campion la Greutate, deci are sens perfect că primul va fi cu o echipă completă din Los Angeles cu James, Justin, Băiatul de Aur și cu mine. ”

 

 

 

“Ce mi-aș dori ca oamenii să știe despre James este că în interiorul corzilor, el este un film al bestiei și al luminilor umane, deci nu clipi. Dar în afara ringului, el este un tată incredibil pentru cei trei băieți ai săi. Un vorbitor motivațional extraordinar, și un model pozitiv pentru orașele interioare și restul lumii. El este mare pe comunitate și ajută tinerii. Mai ales a celor bulversați.”

 

 

 

Wilson vorbește cu mulți tineri despre Anti-Bullying. “Spun multe seminarii și seminarii pentru anti-intimidare. Mă duc la o mulțime de școli și locuințe adoptive și le spun povestea mea. Cred că pot fi cineva pentru care copiii să privească și să-i anunțe că au un viitor, în ciuda circumstanțelor în care se află. Le spun copiilor că mâinile tale sunt arme, gura ta este o armă, iar singurul loc de luptă este în interiorul unui inel.”

 

 

 

Când a fost întrebat cu cine vrea să lupte și care sunt obiectivele sale în sport, Spuse Wilson, “Nu caut să lupt cu nimeni în mod special, Caut să-i lupt pe toți. Cel mai important, Sunt aici pentru a le oferi fanilor ceva de urmărit. Este 365 zile de “Fiară” sezon. Este modul Beast sau modul fără.”

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, Noiembrie 17, at the Kansas Star Arena and Casino in Mulvane, Kansas.

 

 

 

Shields (6-0, 2 KO) 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, fizic si mental. 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 de lire sterline. 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, atât în ​​și în afara inelului. 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! Dau 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 (Noiembrie 5, 2018) – WBC la categoria grea campion mondial Deontay Wilder held a jam-packed media day Monday in Los Angeles where he discussed his blockbuster matchup against lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury taking place Saturday, Decembrie 1 on SHOWTIME PPV® de la Staples Center din 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 an, 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.

 

 

 

Biletele pentru eveniment, which is promoted by BombZquad Enterprises and Queensberry Promotions, in association with DiBella Entertainment and TGB Promotions, sunt de vanzare acum. Prețurile biletelor încep de la $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. Mintal, physically and emotionally I’m ready to go. Totul este perfect. 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. Apoi, 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 frumos, Trainer 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

CE: Lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury opened up to SHOWTIME Sports® crainic 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 trăiesc pe SHOWTIME PPV®.

 

 

Fury, 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 de lire sterline. 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 direct de la Staples Center din 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

Sâmbăta, Noiembrie 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, Scoția.

 

 

 

The 10-round Shields (6-0, 2 KO), 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,” said her promoter, 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. Apoi, 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,” said Mark Taffet, manager of 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. Inainte de asta, 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 (Octombrie 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 Sâmbătă, Decembrie 1 from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles on SHOWTIME PPV®.

 

 

 

Fury, 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.

 

 

 

Biletele pentru eveniment, which is promoted by BombZquad Enterprises and Queensberry Promotions, in association with DiBella Entertainment and TGB Promotions, sunt de vanzare acum.

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 luni.

 

 

 

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, (Octombrie. 20, 2018) – Uneori lucrurile din viață sunt pur și simplu rapide și nedureroase. Majoritatea luptelor la FFC 32 totuși, au fost de fapt rapide și dureroase. Knockout, sa fim cinstiti, sunt de obicei destul de dureroase.

 

 

 

Evenimentul principal de vineri seara a fost una dintre singurele lupte la FFC 32 (care a fost un eveniment exclusiv MMA) asta nu s-a încheiat cu un knockout. Shelton “Gropar” Graves (9-3-0) l-a învins pe Carl “Apa de baie” Seumanutafa (11-9-0) prin decizie unanimă (49-46, 49-46, 49-46) pentru a câștiga titlul vacant de campionat FFC MMA Heavyweight.

 

 

 

Graves a făcut o treabă excelentă evitând să stea de la picioare la picioare cu artistul eliminator, Seumanutafa, petrecând cea mai mare parte a luptei apăsând pe Samoanul greu (Seumanutafa) ridicat de frânghii și folosind genunchii pe corp și o serie de repere rapide pentru a-și frustra adversarul. Strategia a lucrat, întrucât Seumanutafa era frustrat de presiunea constantă, ceea ce i-a permis lui Graves să-l țină pe frânghii și împotriva întinderii, înlăturând orice ocazie pentru un knockout al mărcii comerciale Seumanutafa.

 

 

 

În Co-Main Event, Greutate welter neînvinsă, Austin “DACĂ 47” Vanderford (6-0-0), și-a păstrat recordul fără cusur în tact când l-a zguduit pe Emilson “Războinicul amazonian” Freitas (7-3-0) cu o mână stângă frumoasă la templul de la 1:38 marca de o singură rundă. Vanderford câștigă cu KO doar pentru a doua oară în cariera sa profesională.

 

 

 

Greutate ușoară neînvinsă anterior, Ivan Erslan (6-1-0), a încercat să rămână neînvins ca profesionist, dar adversarul său, Branko Busick (3-1-0) a avut alte idei. Busick l-a trimis pe Erslan pe pânza de la 4:41 marca celei de-a doua runde cu mâna stângă solidă până la bărbie și tot ce a scris pentru Erslan. Busick câștigă prima victorie KO a tinerei sale cariere.

 

 

 

În divizia Lightweight, cum a promis, a fost o “grapplers paradis” atâta timp cât a durat… Și nu a durat foarte mult. Brandon “Kiba” Rețete (9-2-0) a supus Adam “Lovitura” Fierar (11-10-0) de Arm Triangle la 4:26 marca primei runde. Dacă țineți scorul, toate cele nouă victorii ale lui Ricetti au venit prin supunere.

 

 

 

FFC 32 a avut loc la domiciliul său permanent, “Lupta Dome”, care este situat la Rio Las Vegas Caesars Entertainment. Evenimentul a fost difuzat la nivel national pe 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, Octombrie 27, IN SOFIA, BULGARIA

(Octombrie 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, Bulgaria, sâmbătă.

 

 

Pe Sâmbătă, Octombrie 27, Fury (21-1, 11 KO) se va confrunta cu Kubrat “The Cobra” Pulev (25-1, 13 KO) 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.

 

 

 

Evenimentul, entitled “Fire & Fury” 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 în 2014. Britain’s Dillian Whyte and Americans Jarell Miller și 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.”
