Giới thiệu James Sensation hạng nặng bất bại “The Beast” Wilson

Cậu bé vàng bước vào “Chế độ Quái thú hoặc Không có Chế độ”
Jared Shaw quản lý Heavyweight gần đây đã ký hợp đồng quảng cáo với Golden Boy Promotion

Los Angeles, NHƯ. (Tháng mười một 8, 2018) – Trong thời đại mà quyền anh hạng nặng một lần nữa trở thành một bộ môn nóng bỏng. Câu hỏi vẫn được hỏi, ai sẽ là Mike Tyson tiếp theo như nghệ sĩ loại trực tiếp? Hoặc có các môn thể thao như bóng đá và bóng rổ đã loại bỏ những người đàn ông lớn nhất khỏi quyền anh?

 

 

 

Nhập James “The Beast” Wilson.

 

 

 

Wilson có tất cả các thuộc tính của các phẩm chất đã đề cập ở trên. Một vận động viên xuất sắc, người đã ở trong trại huấn luyện NFL với nền tảng chiến đấu thể hiện sức mạnh hung dữ.

 

 

 

Wilson, người vừa ký với Golden Boy Promotion, có một kỷ lục 8-0 với bảy lần loại trực tiếp, nhưng câu chuyện của anh ấy bắt đầu kết thúc 20 năm trước trên đường phố Los Angeles.

 

 

 

Wilson đã trải qua thời kỳ khó khăn và vô gia cư ở độ tuổi 13 và 15, nơi anh ấy đã ngủ trong nhà nghỉ, ghế công viên, và tắm trong những công viên đó. Wilson có một vết xước với luật pháp, và điều đó đã thay đổi cuộc đời anh ấy….Để tốt hơn.

 

 

 

“Tôi đã bị nhốt và sau đó được đưa vào một nhóm. Điều đó thực sự giúp tôi có cấu trúc và đưa tôi đi đúng hướng. Tôi học tốt ở trường và bắt đầu chơi thể thao và bây giờ tôi có những lựa chọn tích cực trong cuộc sống của mình,” Wilson nói.

 

 

 

Wilson trở thành Cầu thủ bóng đá của trường trung học Los Angeles Times, cũng như Đường đua xuyên thành phố ba lần & Vận động viên điền kinh, đã mang lại cho anh học bổng vào Đại học Concord ở Tây Virginia.

 

 

 

Wilson, người tốt nghiệp ngành xã hội học, sau đó tiếp tục chơi bóng đá chuyên nghiệp ở mọi nơi, Ba Lan.

 

 

 

Sau đó, anh ấy được mời tham gia trại huấn luyện với Chicago Bears. Tuy nhiên anh đã chọn theo một niềm đam mê thể thao khác.

 

 

 

“Tôi bắt đầu tập Kenpo-Karate, Muay-Thái và Kickboxing.” Wilson đã có kỷ lục Kickboxing chuyên nghiệp về 16-2-1 nơi anh ấy thi đấu trong các tổ chức hàng đầu như K-1 và Glory.

 

 

Sau đó, Wilson đã thử sức với MMA và đạt thành tích ấn tượng 5-2 ghi lại và chiến đấu để giành chức vô địch Bellator Fighting Championships được đánh giá cao.

 

 

 

Vẫn chưa hài lòng, Wilson bắt đầu chơi quyền anh.

 

 

 

Wilson lại đi du lịch khắp thế giới và bắt đầu sự nghiệp ăn lương ở New Zealand.

 

 

 

“Tôi biết một nhà quảng cáo ở New Zealand, và tôi đã có thể chiến đấu hàng tuần ở đó. Điều đó đã thúc đẩy quá trình và phát triển của tôi. Tôi đã trở lại Los Angeles, và có thể giành được thêm bốn chiến thắng.”

 

 

 

Tại 7-0, Wilson sau đó đã gặp người chơi lâu năm trong ngành quyền anh, Jared Shaw.

 

 

 

Shaw đã xem video về Wilson trên tài khoản Instagram của anh ấy, và vươn tới hạng nặng bất bại.

 

 

 

“Jared đã liên hệ với tôi, và gặp nhau ở phòng tập thể dục, và anh ấy có cùng tầm nhìn với tôi mà tôi đã có, Và phần còn lại là lịch sử.”

 

 

 

“Tôi thấy James như một viên kim cương thô,” Shaw nói. “Anh ta có sự kết hợp, tốc độ và sức mạnh mà bạn không thấy ở hạng cân nặng. Anh ấy có cái đó “nó” yếu tố mà tôi đã thấy với Kimbo Slice. Tôi đủ may mắn để ký Kimbo khỏi những trận đánh nhau được xem trên Youtube. Khi Kimbo bước vào một căn phòng, bạn cảm thấy sự hiện diện và năng lượng. Tôi thấy có rất nhiều phẩm chất giống nhau về việc James là kiểu người thu hút. Bất cứ ai nhầm James với một cầu thủ bóng đá hoặc một võ sĩ hỗn hợp chắc chắn sẽ bó tay trước võ đài quyền anh. Đây là một vận động viên blue-chip, ” Shaw nói, người lớn lên trong môn thể thao này như cha mình, Gary Shaw, đã là một trong những nhà vận động hàng đầu trên thế giới trong ba thập kỷ qua.

 

 

 

 

 

Công việc đầu tiên của Shaw là đưa James đến với huấn luyện viên phù hợp. Nhập Justin Fortune.

 

 

 

“Tôi đã biết Justin từ rất lâu rồi. Vừa là một huấn luyện viên tăng cường sức mạnh, vừa là một huấn luyện viên. Hầu hết sẽ biết anh ấy ở bên cạnh Manny Pacquiao, nhưng có lẽ hầu hết mọi người không biết rằng Justin là một khách hàng tiềm năng nặng ký, người đã chiến đấu với Lennox Lewis. Điều tôi thích nhất về sự kết hợp này là Justin cũng là một đối thủ nặng ký hơn, nhưng một tay đấm mạnh mẽ. Những năm kinh nghiệm của anh ấy là những gì sẽ giúp James đẩy nhanh sự phát triển của anh ấy trong thể thao. Là một đội, chúng tôi có mục tiêu mang chức vô địch thế giới trở lại Los Angeles và đúng lúc,” tiếp tục Shaw.

 

 

 

Động thái tiếp theo của Shaw là tìm người quảng bá phù hợp để Wilson ký hợp đồng, và bộ đôi đã tìm thấy một trong những công ty lớn nhất trên thế giới được quan tâm.

 

 

 

“Rất nhiều nhà quảng bá đã nhìn vào tôi. Tôi đã gặp Golden Boy, và họ đã nhìn thấy tài năng và tầm nhìn của tôi và tôi cảm thấy rằng họ sẽ biến điều đó thành hiện thực cho tôi, và đưa tôi đến chức vô địch hạng nặng của thế giới,” Wilson nói.

 

 

 

Shaw nói rất cao về cuộc hôn nhân giữa võ sĩ và người quảng bá.

 

 

“Đó là tình huống hoàn hảo. Golden Boy Promotion là một trong những công ty hàng đầu trong lĩnh vực thể thao của chúng tôi khi nói đến các công ty quảng cáo. Trong tình huống này, kết quả là bạn có một triển vọng tuyệt vời từ Los Angeles chiến đấu từ một công ty nổi tiếng thế giới có trụ sở tại Los Angeles. Hiện tại Golden Boy đang đứng đầu môn thể thao. Họ quảng bá được cho là võ sĩ hàng đầu thế giới ở Canelo Alvarez, và họ có thể đảm bảo cho anh ta một thỏa thuận chưa từng có với DAZN. Chúng tôi mong chờ những cơ hội sẽ đến với James, và để giới thiệu James’ bộ kỹ năng phi thường. tôi có 100% niềm tin vào Oscar (De La Hoya), Eric (Gomez) và Robert (Diaz) dẫn James đến chức vô địch hạng nặng của thế giới, và giúp tối đa hóa tiềm năng thu nhập của anh ấy. Los Angeles chưa bao giờ có nhà vô địch hạng nặng, vì vậy, thật hợp lý khi người đầu tiên sẽ tham gia cùng một đội hoàn chỉnh có trụ sở tại Los Angeles với James, Justin, Cậu bé vàng và bản thân tôi. ”

 

 

 

“Điều tôi muốn mọi người biết về James là bên trong những sợi dây, anh ấy là một bộ phim nổi bật về con người và quái vật, vì vậy đừng nháy mắt. Nhưng bên ngoài sàn đấu, anh ấy là một người cha tuyệt vời đối với ba cậu con trai của mình. Một diễn giả truyền động lực to lớn, và là một hình mẫu tích cực cho các thành phố nội đô và phần còn lại của thế giới. Anh ấy rất quan tâm đến cộng đồng và giúp đỡ giới trẻ. Đặc biệt là những đứa hay bị bắt nạt.”

 

 

 

Wilson nói chuyện với nhiều thanh niên về Chống bắt nạt. “Tôi thực hiện rất nhiều bài phát biểu và hội thảo về chống bắt nạt. Tôi đến rất nhiều trường học và nhà nuôi dưỡng và kể cho họ nghe câu chuyện của tôi. Tôi nghĩ tôi có thể là người để bọn trẻ nhìn lên và cho chúng biết rằng chúng có tương lai dù chúng ở trong hoàn cảnh nào. Tôi nói với lũ trẻ rằng đôi tay của bạn là vũ khí, miệng của bạn là một vũ khí, và nơi duy nhất để chiến đấu là bên trong võ đài.”

 

 

 

Khi được hỏi anh ấy muốn chiến đấu với ai và mục tiêu của anh ấy trong môn thể thao này là gì, Wilson nói, “Tôi không muốn chống lại bất kỳ ai cụ thể, Tôi đang tìm cách chiến đấu với tất cả chúng. Quan trọng nhất, Tôi ở đây để cung cấp cho người hâm mộ một cái gì đó để xem. Nó là 365 ngày của “Quái thú” mùa. Đó là Chế độ Quái thú hoặc Chế độ Không.”

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, Tháng mười một 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, thể chất và tinh thần. 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 pounds. 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, cả trong và ngoài của vòng. 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! Tôi cung cấp cho 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 (Tháng mười một 5, 2018) – WBC Heavyweight World 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 taking place Saturday, Tháng mười hai 1 on SHOWTIME PPV® từ Trung tâm Staples ở 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 năm, 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.

 

 

 

Vé cho sự kiện, which is promoted by BombZquad Enterprises and Queensberry Promotions, in association with DiBella Entertainment and TGB Promotions, là bán ngay bây giờ. Giá vé bắt đầu từ $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. Về mặt tinh thần, physically and emotionally I’m ready to go. Tất cả mọi thứ là hoàn hảo. 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. Sau đó,, 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 đẹp, 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

GÌ: Lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury opened up to SHOWTIME Sports® người báo cáo 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 sống trên 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 pounds. 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 sống từ Trung tâm Staples ở Los Angeles (9 giờ chiều. ET / 6 giờ chiều. 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

Vào ngày thứ bảy, Tháng mười một 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, Scotland.

 

 

 

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,” 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. Sau đó,, 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. Trước đó, 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 (Tháng mười 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 Thứ bảy, Tháng mười hai 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.

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 tháng.

 

 

 

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.

“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.
