Presented by Premier Boxing Champions on Saturday, 十二月 22 巴克萊中心布魯克林
布魯克林 (十二月 17, 2018) – 中量級的競爭者 馬特·科羅博夫has stepped up to challengeJermall夏洛茨維爾 for the WBC Interim Middleweight Championship live in primetime on FOX and FOX Deportes on Saturday, 十二月 22 巴克萊中心, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™ in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
Korobov is replacing Willie Monroe, 小, who was removed from the main event after he tested positive for a banned substance by VADA under the WBC Clean Boxing Program. The WBC is conducting further investigation into the matter.
Korobov was due to fight on the undercard and had been training to fight December 22. He willingly stepped forward when the call came for a replacement for Monroe.
“I was well prepared for Willie Monroe, 誰是左撇子, so there won’t be that much difference facing Korobov,” 說夏洛茨維爾. “There is a size difference. He’s taller than Monroe, but I’ll just have to adjust my game plan. The best fighters in the world are the ones who are able to make the best adjustments. Beating Korobov is going to make the victory that much sweeter due to this adversity. That means the celebration is going to be sweeter as well. He was fighting on the undercard, so he’s prepared. But now fighting for the title in the top spot is going to make him fight harder. 我喜歡它. He’s a much better opponent on paper than Willie Monroe Jr.”
“I was training to fight on this card so I am physically and mentally ready to fight,” said Korobov. “It doesn’t matter that I am taking this fight on a week’s notice because I have been preparing for this moment my entire life. I will make a few adjustments for Charlo and make the most of this opportunity. 別錯過. Make sure you tune-in to FOX for a great fight.”
The Charlo vs. Korobov bout is part of a blockbuster PBC on FOX show that features the Charlo Twins defending their world titles and a heavyweight showdown between Dominic Breazeale and Carlos Negron beginning at 8 P.M. ET /下午5時. PT.
Jermall夏洛茨維爾, who won a coin toss with his brother, will close the show in a 12-round WBC middleweight championship bout against Korobov, while Jermell Charlo will battle Tony Harrison in defense of the WBC Super Welterweight World Title.
科羅博夫 (28-1, 14 科斯), who was originally scheduled to face Colombia’s Juan De Angel, has an outstanding resume that includes a unanimous decision victory over current super middleweight world champion Jose Uzcategui in 2014. His lone loss came against Andy Lee in a middleweight championship fight in 2014. Korobov was ahead on all three judges’ scorecards when he was caught by a right hand from Lee that resulted in a sixth round TKO loss.

As an amateur he won the European Championships in 2006 by defeating reigning undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. 他的一名成員 2008 Russian Olympic boxing team and finished his amateur career with a record of 300-12.

Middleweight Contender Willie Monroe Jr. Talks Upcoming Showdown Against Jermall Charlo Saturday, 十二月 22 in Premier Boxing Champions on FOX & FOX Deportes Action from Barclays Center in 布魯克林 “I’m in my stable now and I’m ready to come flying out of the gate on December 22,” – Monroe
ROCHESTER,紐約. (十二月 4, 2018) – Middleweight contender and former title challenger威利·夢露JR. discussed his upcoming contest against WBC Interim Middleweight ChampionJermall夏洛茨維爾 as he prepares to enter the ring in Premier Boxing Champions action Saturday, 十二月 22 live on FOX and FOX Deportes from Barclays Center, 布魯克林拳擊™的家.
With fight night approaching, Monroe is hard at work in his hometown of Rochester,紐約. Along with his coach Timothy Nolan, Monroe believes he is on track to deliver a great performance against an unbeaten opponent.
“Everything in camp right now is on point and moving forward,” said Monroe.”We’re getting the work we need each day. We know how to run a camp smoothly. If I can’t tell anything is wrong, then it’s going great.”
A
veteran of two middleweight world title contests against Gennady Golovkin and
Billy Joe Saunders, Monroe has had his eye on a Charlo matchup to once again
prove himself against an elite middleweight.
“I’ve
always watched Jermall’s fights because I have an eye on anyone around my
weight class,” 夢露說. “Over the last year or so I’ve started to
think I’m really going to get this fight and I’m excited about it coming to
fruition on December 22.
“He’s
considered one of the top middleweights and it makes this a great match. This
time I’m going to have a full training camp like I didn’t get to have for
Golovkin and Saunders and it’s going to help me.”
While
he doesn’t possess the prodigious knockout power of his opponent, Monroe is
more than confident that his other ring attributes will make up for that
difference.
“We’re
both at the top of the division and you don’t get this far without having a lot
of physical ability,” 夢露說. “This fight isn’t about who’s the
fastest and strongest though, it’s about how we’re going to execute. I’m not
focused on who hits harder but who hits smarter. That’s always going to
determine who wins a boxing match.
“Boxing
is about intelligence first and everything follows after that. Will I be able
to execute and make Jermall uncomfortable? We’ll see what happens on fight
night. I’m going to be ready though. I’m in my stable now and I’m ready to come
flying out of the gate on December 22.”
Charlo
was serving as color commentator for Monroe’s August fight on FS1 and since
then the two have gone face-to-face at two separate press events leading up to
fight night. With fight week looming, Monroe believes the frequent face time
will make an even more exciting fight.
“I’m
definitely more eager to fight from seeing Jermall over and over again,”
夢露說. “The little things that you pick up in person tend to make
you want to fight even more. You see the opponent and you build it up more in
your head and use it for motivation. I think it’s going to make it even more
entertaining when we finally get in there.”
