Unbeaten Interim WBA Super Featherweight Champion Colbert Battles Hard-Hitting Arboleda in Main Event Live on SHOWTIME® denne lørdag, December 12

NEW YORK – December 8, 2020 – Unbeaten interim WBA Super Featherweight Champion Chris "Primetime" Colbert will look to make a statement in his first nationally televised main event as he faces hard-hitting Jaime Grove live på SHOWTIME denne lørdag, December 12 på 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT i en begivenhed præsenteret af Premier Boxing Champions fra Mohegan Sun Arena i Uncasville, Conn.

“I always knew I was going to get here,” said Colbert. “It’s all God’s plan. This is just going to be another day for me and I’ll show everyone why I’m one of the best 130-pounders in the world.”

The 24-year-old Colbert has shot up the rankings of the 130-pound weight class and believes that a victory on Saturday night will lead to bigger opportunities in the jam-packed division.

“This is one of the most stacked divisions in boxing and I love competing in it,” said Colbert. “It’s great to be getting noticed in a division that has this much talent, and hopefully it’ll lead to me getting the big fights that I need. I don’t feel like there’s any certain fighter I’m targeting, but Gervonta Davis, Leo Santa Cruz and Jamel Herring would all be great fights for me. Beating them would help me become ‘the guy’ in the division.”

Colbert’s rise continued in his last fight, as he scored a 10th-round knockdown against former champion Jezreel Corrales on his way to a decision win while showing an impressive array of skills against a fighter determined to slow the action through holding and other veteran tricks.

“Against Corrales I learned not to rush,” said Colbert. “It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. I can’t just go rush in there and expect everyone to get knocked out. I had to take my time, do what I do best and stick to my game plan.”

In the 26-year-old Arboleda, Colbert will be presented with another rising 130-pound contender with his own sights set on emerging amongst the elite in the division. Arboleda has won five of his last six fights by stoppage and most recently dropped Jayson Velez on his way to a decision victory in February on SHOWTIME.

“Come December 12, Jeg er klar til hvad han bringer,” said Colbert. “I expect him to bring pressure and ‘try’ to make me tired because that’s the only chance he has. He can’t outbox me. That’s not happening. But I love to bang inside and I’m ready for whatever he does. I hope he doesn’t run or clinch me because I’d love to get the knockout and get him out of there early.”

The Brooklyn-native Colbert has continued to work with his longtime coach Aureliano Sosa in his hometown through the difficulties of the pandemic. Those difficulties have led to Colbert sparring with larger welterweight and super welterweights in camp, which Colbert believes could help him with the power Arboleda will bring into the fight.

“Training camp has been going great for the most part,” said Colbert. “It’s just been a little hard finding sparring partners. But because it’s been difficult to find fighters at my weight I’ve actually been sparring with 147 and 154-pound fighters. I honestly love that because it prepares me better, and who’s to say that Arboleda won’t have power like them? I’m on weight now, selv, and ready to put on a show on December 12.”

"Jeg tror virkelig på, at jeg er den bedste up and coming fighter i spillet"



Ubesejret Rising Super letvægts Prospect Hitchins kæmper mod den tidligere mester Argenis Méndez i Co-Main Event Live på SHOWTIME® denne lørdag, December 12

NEW YORK – December 7, 2020 – Uslagne stigende udsigter Richardson Hitchins delte detaljer om sin træningslejr, inklusive tips og motivation, han modtog fra Floyd Mayweather og Gervonta Davis, forud for sit superletvægtsopgør mod tidligere verdensmester Argenis Mendez live på SHOWTIME denne lørdag, December 12 på 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT i en begivenhed præsenteret af Premier Boxing Champions fra Mohegan Sun Arena i Uncasville, Conn.

“Floyd hjalp mig enormt, mens jeg var tilbage i Las Vegas," sagde Hitchins. "Jeg har allerede det grundlæggende som fighter, men han viste mig små ting hist og her og træninger, som jeg har taget med hjem, mens jeg træner til denne kamp. Jeg er ikke bleg for mine evner som fighter, fordi jeg virkelig tror på, at jeg er den bedste up and coming fighter i spillet, så det er den slags kampe, jeg har brug for for at vise verden, hvem Richardson Hitchins er.

"Gervonta har også været medvirkende til tidligere kamplejre, og han er den type person, du har brug for. Han presser dig til at gå hårdere. Vi går ind mod hinanden i forsøget på at overgå hinanden, og det er den type konkurrence, der er nødvendig for virkelig at være den bedste."

Trods træning under hele pandemien, Hitchins har været i stand til at forblive på opgaven og på sporet gennem hele sin lejr, der begyndte i Las Vegas, før han endte i hans hjemland Brooklyn under vejledning af sin cheftræner Lenny Wilson.

"Sagen ved mig er, Jeg er fokuseret uanset hvad," sagde Hitchins. "Jeg tager ikke 'off' efter mine kampe. Jeg holder mig i form hele året rundt; Jeg behøver ikke at blive klar med hensyn til konditionering eller at få min krop i form igen, for det er mit job. Jeg tager mit job meget seriøst. Den disciplin, Floyd har haft gennem hele sin karriere, er den samme disciplin, jeg har. Jeg har set mine idoler og taget ting fra dem, så jeg kan sætte mig selv i en position til at vinde.

"Jeg tror ikke, at pandemien eller ferierne nødvendigvis ændrede min træning. Jeg har stadig adgang til mit fitnesscenter. Der er ikke noget, der kommer til at stå i vejen for at blive stor. Pandemien bremser mig ikke, det er bare endnu en vejspærring for at teste min dedikation til sporten."

Den 23-årige Hitchins repræsenterede Haiti ved 2016 Olympiske Lege og vender tilbage til ringen efter debut i 2020 med en afgørelsessejr på 10 runder over Nicholas DeLomba i februar. Det var Hitchins' anden sejr i 10-runder beslutningen, efter at hans forrige kamp så ham bedst Kevin Johnson følge 10 runder i november 2019.

"Jeg tænker ofte tilbage på min kamp mod Kevin Johnson, han er en hård fighter, og han er den, som jeg trygt kan sige, at han fik det bedste ud af mig," sagde Hitchins. "Det er de kampe, der får mig til at se tilbage og nøje følge de ting, jeg skal arbejde på. Den kamp viste mig også, at ingen skulle overses, så går ind i denne kamp mod Mendez, Jeg overser ham ikke."

Méndez præsenterer den mest gennemførte modstander af Hitchins' unge karriere. Den 34-årige tidligere mester kæmpede senest Juan Heraldez og Anthony Peterson for at få uafgjort 2019, og scorede sejre over Eddie Ramirez og Ivan Redkach forud for det. Til Hitchins, det stærke CV af hans modstander er noget, han nyder som en målestok for hans fremskridt.

"Han er en veteran, han har været derinde med en masse hårde fyre, og han er tidligere verdensmester, så han har helt klart et sæt færdigheder, som jeg tror, ​​jeg skal møde på dette tidspunkt i min karriere," sagde Hitchins. "Jeg har brug for de store kampe. Han er ældre nu, men jeg føler, at han i sin bedste alder stadig ikke kunne røre ved mine færdigheder. Det er min opgave at bevise det.

"Jeg ved, at det ikke bliver en let kamp, men jeg vil være forberedt på, hvad han end bringer. Min motivation er at være mere end almindelig. Jeg vil opfylde mine mål, når alt dette er sagt og gjort, og helt ærligt, Jeg venter bare på, at denne kamp kommer, så jeg kan vise det. Om det er Méndez, eller hvem som helst, den overbevisning, jeg har, og hvordan jeg har det med mig selv, er stærkere end noget andet, der står foran mig i den ring."

Middleweight Contenders Matt Korobov and Ronald Ellis Clash

in Co-Main Event; Rising Super Lightweight Prospect Richardson Hitchins Takes on Former World Champion Argenis Mendez in Telecast Opener

NEW YORK – November 20, 2020 – Two of the top fighters in the 130-pound division will meet when unbeaten interim WBA Super Featherweight ChampionChris "Primetime" Colbertstår over for de hårdtslåendeJaime Grovei de vigtigste tilfælde afSHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL UDGAVE Lørdag, December 12 på 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT live på SHOWTIME fra Mohegan Sun Arena i Uncasville, Conn., i en begivenhed præsenteret af Premier Boxing Champions.

The tripleheader, originally scheduled for November 28, will see middleweight contendersMatt KorobovogRonald Ellisbattle in the 10-round co-main event and rising super lightweight phenomRichardson Hitchinstager den hårdeste test i sin unge karriere, da han står over for den tidligere verdensmesterArgenis Mendezin a 10-round telecast opener. Begivenheden promoveres af TGB Promotions og Sampson Boxing. Hitchins vs. Mendez er co-promoveret af Mayweather Promotions.

Nordine Oubaali vs. Nonito Donaire was originally scheduled to take place on December 12 but was postponed after Oubaali tested positive for COVID-19.

“This main event on December 12 will pit two of the 130-pound division’s most exciting rising talents against each other as the sublimely skilled Chris Colbert faces the powerful Jaime Arboleda in a can’t-miss showdown,sagde Tom Brown, Formand for TGB Promotions. “The co-main event will see two middleweight contenders in Matt Korobov and Ronald Ellis looking to show that they’re among the division’s elite, while the SHOWTIME opener features the exciting prospect Richardson Hitchins against the always tough Argenis Mendez in a big step up fight. These are three evenly-matched bouts that should make for nonstop drama on fight night.”

Representing his native Brooklyn, N.Y., Colbert (14-0, 5 KOS) has quickly shot up the 130-pound rankings, taking on high-level competition in his first 14 pro slagsmål. The 24-year-old beat then-undefeated fighters Austin Dulay, Titus Williams and Antonio Dubose, all in his first eight fights as a professional. I 2019, Colbert added four more victories to his tally, including an explosive first-round knockout of veteran Miguel Beltran Jr. Senest, Colbert won his interim title by dropping former super featherweight champion Jezreel Corrales on his way to a unanimous decision in their January 2020 clash.

“I’m super excited to be making my big stage debut in the main event,” said Colbert. “It’s been a long camp, but training is going great. I’m looking to put on a dominant performance, and I’m looking for the knockout if it’s there. If I can get it, that would be splendid. I know Jaime is going to come to fight. He wants the belt as bad as I want to keep the belt. It’s all going to come down to stamina, ring IQ and who has the greater will to win. I feel like I’m the guy for the job. There’s no way in hell I’m giving up my belt in my first defense.”

The 26-year-old Arboleda (16-1, 13 KOS) has amassed an impressive six-fight winning streak heading into the matchup against Colbert, with five of those victories coming inside of the distance. Born in Curundu, Panama, and now fighting out Miami, Fla. Arboleda has fought professionally since 2014 and scored knockouts over two then-undefeated opponents in 2019, Victor Betancourt and Jose Saant. I sin sidste kamp, Arboleda, who is ranked fourth in the 130-pound division by the WBA, bested former world title contender Jayson Velez by unanimous decision to win his first 12-round fight this February on SHOWTIME.

“Every boxer’s dream is to fight for a title and be victorious without leaving any doubt,” said Arboleda. “That is my plan for December 12. I’m having the best preparation of my entire career. Jeg føler stor, strong and fast like never before. I’m sure it will be a very exciting fight from the very first round.”

Korobov (28-3-1, 14 KOS) returns to action after losing his December 2019 clash against Chris Eubank Jr. when he suffered a shoulder injury that forced the fight to end in the second round. Korobov, who notched 300 wins as a decorated amateur, came into that fight off of a majority draw against Immanuwel Aleem, after serving notice to the middleweight division that he would be a threat when he lost a hard-fought decision to undefeated middleweight champion Jermall Charlo in December. Born in Orotukan, Rusland, and now living in St. Petersburg, Fla, Korobov was a late replacement and gave Charlo a tougher fight than many experts expected. Korobov had been riding a four-fight win streak before the Charlo fight, following his first professional defeat against Andy Lee in a 2014 middleweight title fight.

“I am excited to be back in a PBC event on SHOWTIME December 12,” said Korobov. “I have a difficult opponent, but I expect to win and prove that I am back and even better prepared. I must win against Ellis in order to get Jermall Charlo back in the ring. Selvfølgelig, I believe I beat Charlo, but that is the past. Ellis is in my future, and I am coming to show I am still one of the best middleweights in the world.”

The 31-year-old Ellis (17-1-2, 11 KOS) will look to build off of his last outing, which saw him edge fellow contender Immanuwel Aleem by majority decision in December 2019. For Ellis, that fight got him back in the win column after his first career defeat, a majority decision against DeAndre Ware in March 2019. The Lynn, Mass.-native is the older brother of welterweight Rashidi Ellis, and had an impressive amateur career including a 2010 National Golden Gloves championship capped off by a victory over Terrell Gausha.

“It’s time for me to show out on December 12,” said Ellis. “Korobov had his chance against the top middleweights, and now it’s my time to take advantage of this opportunity and use a win over him to reach that level. We’re working hard in San Diego sparring with Canelo Alvarez so that everything is perfect and I’m at my best on fight night.”

A native of Brooklyn, Hitchins (11-0, 5 KOS) blev professionel i 2017 after representing Haiti at the 2016 OL. The 23-year-old has flashed impressive skills as he’s amassed an unbeaten record in the pro ranks, which is the product of an extensive amateur career. Hitchins scored four victories in 2019, before debuting in 2020 with a decision victory over Nicholas DeLomba. In his first two 10-round bouts as a professional, the southpaw has scored decisive unanimous decisions.

“I don’t overlook any opponent, but I believe I have a better and sharper skillset than Mendez," sagde Hitchins. “I have all of the intangibles to become a world champion. That’s often mistaken as being cocky, but it’s really just me believing in myself more than anyone else. I will take this fight seriously like I do any other fight and continue to do what I do in order to get one step closer to that title shot. Being in camp with Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis, I’ve learned a lot. I feel like I have to one-up the competition. They really pushed me to be a better fighter.”

A former super featherweight champion, Mendez (25-5-3, 12 KOS) has a reputation for providing stiff challenges to the sport’s best and has proven to be a durable contender at 140-pounds. I 2019, Mendez fought to back-to-back draws against super lightweight contenders, first against Anthony Peterson in March and then against the unbeaten Juan Heraldez in May. Born in San Juan de La Maguana, Den Dominikanske Republik, Mendez now fights out of Yonkers, N.Y.. and owns victories over Eddie Ramirez, Ivan Redkach and former titlist Miguel Vazquez. He has also gone toe-to-toe with former champions Rances Barthelemy and Robert Easter Jr.

“I’m facing a young prospect who’s hungry for success, but I’m hungrier today than I’ve ever been in my career and I have the experience to go along with it,” said Mendez. “I’m also extremely motivated for this fight, which isn’t good news for Hitchins. When fight time comes on December 12, you’ll witness an intelligent but more aggressive Argenis Mendez.”
