Unbeaten Interim WBA Super Featherweight Champion Colbert Battles Hard-Hitting Arboleda in Main Event Live on SHOWTIME® Sabtu ini, Bulan Desember 12

NEW YORK – Bulan Desember 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 Arboleda live on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Bulan Desember 12 di 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

“I always knew I was going to get here,” kata 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,” kata 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,” kata 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, Saya siap untuk apa pun yang membawa,” kata 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,” kata 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, meskipun, and ready to put on a show on December 12.”

Unbeaten Rising Super Lightweight Prospect Hitchins Battles Former Champion Argenis Méndez In Co-Main Event Live on SHOWTIME® Sabtu ini, Bulan Desember 12

NEW YORK – Bulan Desember 7, 2020 – Prospek naik yang tak terkalahkan Richardson Hitchins shared details of his training camp, including pointers and motivation he received from Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis, ahead of his super lightweight showdown against former world champion Argenis Méndez live on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Bulan Desember 12 di 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

“Floyd helped me tremendously while I was back in Las Vegas,” said Hitchins. “I already have the fundamentals as a fighter, but he showed me little things here and there and workouts that I have taken back home with me while I train for this fight. I’m not shy about my ability as a fighter, because I truly believe I am the best up and coming fighter in the game, so these are the kind of fights I need in order to show the world who Richardson Hitchins is.

“Gervonta has been instrumental in past fight camps as well, and he’s the type of person you need. He pushes you to go harder. We go head-to-head in trying to outdo each other, and that’s the type of competition that’s needed in order to really be the best.”

Despite training throughout the pandemic, Hitchins has been able to remain on task and on track throughout his camp that began in Las Vegas before ending in his native Brooklyn under the guidance of his head coach Lenny Wilson.

“The thing about me is, I’m focused no matter what,” said Hitchins. “I don’t take ‘off’ after my fights. I stay in shape all year round; I don’t need to get ready in terms of conditioning or getting my body back in shape because this is my job. I take my job very seriously. The discipline Floyd has had throughout his career is the same discipline I have. I have watched my idols and taken things from them so that I can put myself in a position to win.

“I don’t think the pandemic or the holidays necessarily altered my training. I still have access to my gym. There’s nothing that’s going to stand in my way of becoming great. The pandemic doesn’t slow me down, it’s just another roadblock to test my dedication to the sport.”

The 23-year-old Hitchins represented Haiti at the 2016 Olympic Games and will return to the ring after debuting in 2020 with a 10-round decision victory over Nicholas DeLomba in February. It was Hitchins’ second 10-round decision win after his previous fight saw him best Kevin Johnson following 10 rounds in November 2019.

“I often think back to my fight against Kevin Johnson, he’s a tough fighter and he’s the one who I can confidently say brought the best out of me,” said Hitchins. “Those are the fights that make me look back and watch closely the things I need to work on. That fight also showed me that no one should be overlooked, so going into this fight against Mendez, I’m not overlooking him.”

Méndez presents the most accomplished opponent of Hitchins’ young career. The 34-year-old former champion most recently fought Juan Heraldez and Anthony Peterson to draws in 2019, and scored victories over Eddie Ramirez and Ivan Redkach prior to that. For Hitchins, the strong resume of his opponent is something he relishes as a measuring stick for his progress.

“He’s a veteran, he’s been in there with a lot of tough guys and he’s a former world champion, so he clearly has a skill set that I think I need to face at this point in my career,” said Hitchins. “I need those big fights. He’s older now, but I feel like him in his prime still couldn’t touch my skillset. It’s my job to prove that.

“I know this won’t be an easy fight, but I’ll be prepared for whatever he brings. My motivation is to be more than ordinary. I will fulfill my goals when this is all said and done, and honestly, I’m just waiting for this fight to come so I can show that. Whether it’s Méndez, or whoever, the conviction I have and how I feel about myself is stronger than anything standing in front of me in that ring.”

Penantang Kelas Menengah Matt Korobov dan Ronald Ellis Clash

di Acara Co-Main; Meningkatnya Prospek Super Ringan Richardson Hitchins Hadapi Mantan Juara Dunia Argenis Mendez di Pembukaan Telecast

NEW YORK – November 20, 2020 – Dua petarung top di divisi 130 pon akan bertemu saat Juara Kelas Bulu Super WBA interim yang tak terkalahkanChris "Primetime" Colbertmenghadapi pukulan kerasJaime Arboledadalam acara utamaSHOWTIME BOXING: EDISI KHUSUS Hari Sabtu, Bulan Desember 12 di 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT langsung di SHOWTIME dari Mohegan Sun Arena di Uncasville, Conn., dalam acara yang dipersembahkan oleh Premier Boxing Champions.

Judul tiga, awalnya dijadwalkan untuk November 28, akan melihat pesaing kelas menengahMatt KorobovdanRonald Ellisbertarung dalam acara co-main 10 ronde dan fenomena super ringan yang meningkatRichardson Hitchinsmenghadapi ujian terberat dalam karir mudanya saat ia menghadapi mantan juara duniaArgenis Mendezdalam pembuka siaran 10 putaran. Acara ini dipromosikan oleh TGB Promotions dan Sampson Boxing. Hitchins vs. Mendez dipromosikan bersama oleh Mayweather Promotions.

Nordine Oubaali vs. Nonito Donaire awalnya dijadwalkan berlangsung pada bulan Desember 12 tetapi ditunda setelah Oubaali dinyatakan positif COVID-19.

“Acara utama ini pada bulan Desember 12 akan mengadu dua talenta paling menarik dari divisi 130-pon yang sedang naik daun melawan satu sama lain saat Chris Colbert yang sangat terampil menghadapi Jaime Arboleda yang kuat dalam pertarungan yang tidak boleh dilewatkan,”Kata Tom Brown, Presiden TGB Promosi. “Acara co-main akan melihat dua penantang kelas menengah Matt Korobov dan Ronald Ellis yang ingin menunjukkan bahwa mereka berada di antara elit divisi., sementara pembuka SHOWTIME menampilkan prospek menarik Richardson Hitchins melawan Argenis Mendez yang selalu tangguh dalam pertarungan besar. Ini adalah tiga pertarungan seimbang yang seharusnya menjadi drama nonstop di malam pertarungan.”

Mewakili negara asalnya, Brooklyn, N.Y., Colbert (14-0, 5 Biaya) telah dengan cepat menaikkan peringkat 130-pon, menghadapi kompetisi tingkat tinggi dalam yang pertama 14 perkelahian pro. Petenis berusia 24 tahun itu mengalahkan petinju yang saat itu belum terkalahkan, Austin Dulay, Titus Williams dan Antonio Dubose, semua dalam delapan pertarungan pertamanya sebagai seorang profesional. Di 2019, Colbert menambahkan empat kemenangan lagi ke penghitungannya, termasuk KO ronde pertama yang eksplosif dari veteran Miguel Beltran Jr. Baru-baru ini, Colbert memenangkan gelar sementaranya dengan menjatuhkan mantan juara kelas bulu super Jezreel Corrales dalam perjalanannya ke keputusan bulat di bulan Januari 2020 bentrokan.

“Saya sangat bersemangat untuk membuat debut panggung besar saya di acara utama,” kata Colbert. “Sudah lama kamp, tapi pelatihan berjalan dengan baik. Saya ingin menampilkan performa yang dominan, dan saya mencari KO jika ada. Jika saya bisa mendapatkannya, itu akan sangat bagus. Saya tahu Jaime akan datang untuk bertarung. Dia ingin ikat pinggangnya sama buruknya dengan saya ingin mempertahankan ikat pinggangnya. Semuanya akan turun ke stamina, cincin IQ dan siapa yang memiliki keinginan lebih besar untuk menang. Saya merasa seperti saya orang untuk pekerjaan itu. Tidak mungkin aku menyerahkan sabukku untuk pertahanan pertamaku.”

Arboleda yang berusia 26 tahun (16-1, 13 Biaya) telah mengumpulkan enam kemenangan beruntun yang mengesankan menjelang pertandingan melawan Colbert, dengan lima kemenangan yang datang dari kejauhan. Lahir di Curundu, Panama, dan sekarang melawan Miami, Fla. Arboleda telah bertarung secara profesional sejak 2014 dan mencetak KO atas dua lawan yang saat itu tak terkalahkan di 2019, Victor Betancourt dan Jose Saant. Dalam laga terakhirnya, Arboleda, yang menempati peringkat keempat di divisi 130-pon oleh WBA, mengalahkan mantan penantang gelar dunia Jayson Velez dengan keputusan bulat untuk memenangkan pertarungan 12 ronde pertamanya Februari ini di SHOWTIME.

“Impian setiap petinju adalah memperjuangkan gelar dan menjadi pemenang tanpa meninggalkan keraguan,” kata Arboleda. “Itu adalah rencanaku untuk bulan Desember 12. Saya memiliki persiapan terbaik sepanjang karir saya. Saya merasa hebat, kuat dan cepat tidak seperti sebelumnya. Saya yakin ini akan menjadi pertarungan yang sangat menarik sejak ronde pertama.”

Korobov (28-3-1, 14 Biaya) kembali beraksi setelah kehilangan Desember 2019 bentrokan melawan Chris Eubank Jr. ketika ia mengalami cedera bahu yang memaksa pertarungan berakhir di ronde kedua. Korobov, siapa yang berlekuk? 300 menang sebagai amatir yang didekorasi, datang ke pertarungan itu dari hasil imbang mayoritas melawan Immanuwel Aleem, setelah memberikan pemberitahuan kepada divisi kelas menengah bahwa dia akan menjadi ancaman ketika dia kalah dalam keputusan yang sulit dari juara kelas menengah yang tak terkalahkan Jermall Charlo pada bulan Desember. Born in Orotukan, Rusia, 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. Tentu saja, 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 Biaya) 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. 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,” kata 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 Biaya) profesional pada 2017 after representing Haiti at the 2016 Olimpiade. 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,” said 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. Saya akan menganggap pertarungan ini serius seperti saya melakukan pertarungan lainnya dan terus melakukan apa yang saya lakukan untuk selangkah lebih dekat ke perebutan gelar itu.. Berada di kamp bersama Floyd Mayweather dan Gervonta Davis, Saya telah belajar banyak. Saya merasa seperti saya harus meningkatkan kompetisi. Mereka benar-benar mendorong saya untuk menjadi petarung yang lebih baik.”

Mantan juara kelas bulu super, Mendez (25-5-3, 12 Biaya) memiliki reputasi untuk memberikan tantangan berat untuk olahraga terbaik dan telah terbukti menjadi pesaing yang tahan lama di 140-pon. Di 2019, Mendez berjuang untuk hasil imbang berturut-turut melawan pesaing super ringan, pertama melawan Anthony Peterson di bulan Maret dan kemudian melawan Juan Heraldez yang tidak terkalahkan di bulan Mei. Lahir di San Juan de La Maguana, Republik Dominika, Mendez sekarang bertarung melawan Yonkers, N.Y.. dan memiliki kemenangan atas 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.”
