Olympic Medal Winner Nico Hernandez Dominates Mexico’s Victor Trejo Garcia in UFC Fight Pass Main Event from Mulvane, Kansas
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, November 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, fizikailag és mentálisan. 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 font. 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, és kifelé a gyűrű. 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 fight — not only do I talk a good game but I fight my a– off too! adok 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.

Szombaton, November 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, Skócia.
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. Majd, 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,- mondta 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. Előtte, 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.”

MULVANE, Május. (Május 21, 2018) — A történelem múlt szombat este készült a “SUPERBOX LIVE: Nagy tét” pay-per-view kártya, amikor 2016 Olimpiai bronzérmes és helyi hős, Nico Hernandez, kiütötte a magyar kihívót Szilveszter “A Silent Assassin” Csatorna a nyitó fordulóban a megüresedett Nemzetközi Ökölvívó Szövetség elfoglalására (IBA) Flyweight Világbajnokság csak ötödik profi küzdelmében, Kansas Csillagok Arena Mulvane, Kansas.
A Kansasban megrendezett első világbajnoki küzdelemben, Hernandez (5-0, 4 KO) elárasztotta Csatornát (14-7, 9 KO), az egykori Boksz Világszövetség (WBF) szuper légsúlyú világbajnok, a legfiatalabbá válni (22) IBA világbajnok valaha, valamint a legkevesebb profi küzdelem rekordjának felállítása szükséges ahhoz, hogy az IBA világbajnoka legyen.
SUPERBOX LIVE: Nagy tét a Super Channel új élő boksz-sorozataként indult,SUPERBOX LIVE, együtt KO Night Boxing LLC, és kizárólag Kanadában élőben sugárzott a Super Channel csatornán.
Integrált sportmédia terjesztve “SUPERBOX LIVE: Nagy tét” az Egyesült Államokban kábelen, műholdas és digitális pay-per-view, amint világszerte élőben közvetítették FITE.TV alkalmazás és webhely (Kanada kivételével).
Hernandez agresszív volt a nyitó harangtól, dübörgő Channel’ fej és test. Egy Hernandez bal oldali horog a testhez nagyon fájt Kanalasnak, aki az ördögi májlövést követő jobboldalról ment le. Kanalas megverte a Hírességek Csarnokát Steve Smoger’S számít, és csak idő kérdése volt, hogy Hernandez befejezze a harcot. Hamarosan eljött, rögtön egy újabb test-fej kombináció után a túlzottan passzoló magyart másodszorra és utolsó alkalommal is szőnyegre tette.
“Sokan alábecsülik az erőmet,” - mondta Hernandez a harc után. “Hiszem, hogy egyszer megérezte az erőmet, Szerintem már nem akarta. Úgy éreztem, hogy elvettem a szívét. Türelmes voltam, Azt akartam, hogy menjen néhány kört, hogy lássa, mi van, de elvettem a szívét. Nem igazán tudok csalódni, mert most világbajnok vagyok.”
“Nico szombat este robbanékony volt, és gyilkos ösztönöt tanúsított,” elősegítő John Andersen kommentálta. “Bokszolni készült, de szerintem félelemszagot érzett, és Nico bejutott Kanalasba’ fej. Érezte, és nekiugrott.”
Mielőtt elhagyta a gyűrűt, Hernandez vette a mikrofont a gyűrű közepén, és háromszoros olimpiai és kétszeres olimpiai bronzérmet hívott, “Ír” Paddy Barnes (5-0, 1 KO), akinek az volt a kedvence, hogy aranyérmet szerezzen a légysúlyú osztályban a 2016 Olimpia. Fordulójában kiesett 16 és Hernandez hazavitte a bronzérmet. “Van egy bronzérmes (Északi) Írország, Paddy Barnes, and that’s who I’d really love to fight.”
“I think that’s a fight we should start a conversation about,” Andersen remarked. “It’s not line Barnes is 21 (ő 31) and I don’t know of a lot of 30 or older flyweights. It makes a lot of sense and can be a big fight. They’re both Olympic bronze medalist, already fought in scheduled 10 és 12 round fights, and have belts. (Barnes is the WBO Intercontinental flyweight champ). Nico needs to step up in terms of competition, túl. I think they should get in the ring and then we can see what happens.
“If they don’t want to make this fight right away, maybe we can build it up by putting them on the same card, and then fight next year. This fight makes a lot of sense for both fighters and Nico has already said he wants to fight Barnes.”
Hernandez joined reigning IBA world champions, félnehézsúlyú Sergey Kovalev és középsúlyú junior Mark DeLuca, as well as past IBA world champions such as Hall of Famers Oscar de la Hoya, George Foreman, Roberto Duran és Arturo Gatti, in addition to starsRoy Jones, Jr., Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosely, James Toney, Mikkel Kessler, Eric Morales, Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, Glen Johnson és Antonio Tarver.
2011 Russia Junior Championships gold medalist Andrey Afonin (6-0, 3 KO) kept his undefeated record in tact when Pedro “El Reguilete” Rodriguez (23-4, 19 KO), the Cuban native and former World Boxing Association (WBA) Fedalatin cruiserweight champion, was unable to answer the bell in the third round of the co-featured event.
Unbeaten Ukrainian heavyweight Oleksandr Teslenko (13-0, 11 KO), promoted by DiBella Entertainment and fighting out of Toronto, megállt Terrance “Big Jim” Marbra (9-6, 7 KO) a második fordulóban.
Undefeated Washington featherweight Victor Morales, Jr. (9-0, 5 KO) was too much forDavid Berna (15-4, 14 KO), of Hungary, who complained of an elbow injury and lost by way of a second-round technical knockout, in the televised opener.
In the television swing bout, which was held prior to the main event, popular Wichita junior welterweight Jeff Strum (3-0, 2 KO) kept the train rollin’ with a second-round knockout of Nigeria-native Archie Weah (2-11).
In the most competitive fight of the night, as well as the lone match that went the complete distance, St. Louis cruiserweight Leroy Jones (3-3, 2 KO) won a four-round unanimous decision over Kansas City, KS favorite Chris Harris (2-3-2, 2 KO).
