CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING RETURNS TO PRIMETIME ON CBS WITH PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS BLOCKBUSTER

LIVE ON CBS 8:30 P.M. AND/5:30 P.M. PT

Whakaahua by Esther Lin/SHOWTIME:

 

NEW YORK – January 23, 2016 - WBA Welterweight World Champion Keith “One Time” Thurman will defend his title against former champ “Showtime” Shawn Porter in a blockbuster matchup of two of the world’s best 147-pound fighters on Rāhoroi, March 12 i runga i SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS.

 

The welterweight showdown will air live on CBS at 8:30 p.m. AND / 5:30 p.m. PT from Mohegan Sun Casino Resort in Uncasville, Connecticut. Te hui, promoted by DiBella Entertainment, is produced by SHOWTIME Sports® for the CBS Television Network, both divisions of the CBS Corporation.‎ The last primetime boxing event on CBS was Muhammad Ali-Leon Spinks on Feb. 15, 1978.

 

Thurman (26-0, 22 Koó), of Clearwater, Fla., and Porter (26-1-1, 16 Koó), of Las Vegas by way of Akron, Ohio, are both coming off superb 2015 campaigns that solidified the fresh faces among the elite of arguably boxing’s most exciting division. With perennial pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather now retired, the 27-year-old Thurman and the 28-year-old Porter are hungry to stake their claim as the future of boxing.

“Thurman vs. Porter is a marquee matchup of two elite boxers in the prime of their careers, and the winner will establish himself as arguably the No. 1 fighter in boxing’s glamour division,"Ka mea a Stephen Espinoza, Matua Vice te peresideni me Kaiwhakahaere General, SHOWTIME Sports. “Fights of this caliber don’t come along very often, a ka mahi ratou, they deserve to be on the biggest stage possible. That’s why all of us at SHOWTIME and CBS are so excited to be able to deliver this pivotal matchup to a primetime audience on America’s highest-rated network.”

 

“Last year was an amazing year for me: I headlined the very first Premier Boxing Champions show and was named PBC Fighter of the Year,” Thurman said. “But this is my year to dominate the welterweight division and I’m excited to be getting ready to take out Shawn Porter. I am ready to get back in the ring and bring boxing fans what they’ve been looking for – the top true welterweight champion of the world, the one who is going to take out all competitors one by one. I am Keith ‘One-Time’ Thurman and I’m going to show you what a champion looks like on March 12."

 

“I’m very confident in my ability. That’s why I’ve been looking forward to this fight because I’m someone who can beat Keith Thurman,” Porter said. “Nothing about Keith really makes me nervous. I do know that he’s going to be ready for this fight. He’s a fighter that has the heart of a lion just like I do. I expect this to be a fight to the finish. A win over Keith Thurman is what we’ve been waiting for.”

 

“Keith Thurman against Shawn Porter is one of the best matchups that can be made in the welterweight division right now and I am thrilled that it is taking place at Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Conn.,” Na ka mea a Lou DiBella, Peresideni o DiBella Entertainment. “The hard-punching world titleholder Thurman and the highly skilled former champion Porter will have the opportunity to prove that they are the next heir to the throne in the post-Mayweather era of the 147 wehenga pauna.”

 

“One Time” Thurman, who owns a better than 80 percent KO ratio and knocked out 18 o tona tuatahi 20 hoariri, is considered one of the most avoided fighters in boxing. After unsuccessfully lobbying to fight the best of the division for the past two years, Thurman finally had a breakout 2015.

 

The hard-hitting Florida native floored former champion and long-time contender Robert Guerrero en route to a convincing 12th round unanimous last March in Las Vegas. He then dominated and bloodied former champ Luis Collazo on Hōngongoi 11, winning via seventh round TKO. Thurman won the Interim WBA belt with a knockout of Diego Chaves in 2013 and scored consecutive knockouts over Jesus Soto Karass (2013) and Julio Diaz (2014) in his first and second title defenses.

 

Against Porter, Thurman will now get a chance to prove what he’s been claiming for years – that he’s the world’s best welterweight – in the toughest test of his career.

 

“Showtime” Porter has built one of the most impressive resumes in the division since making his welterweight debut in 2010. Mau, who surprisingly turned professional as a super middleweight (168 pauna), won the IBF crown in 2013 with an impressive unanimous decision over Devon Alexander.

 

The physically-gifted and offensive-minded Ohio native knocked out former two-division world champion Paulie Malignaggi with a brutal clean right hand in April of 2014 in the lone defense of his title. Porter lost the IBF belt less than four months after the Malignaggi victory in a close majority decision defeat to undefeated British superstar Kell Brook, but he bounced back with a fifth-round knockout of Erick Bone in March of 2015. Porter scored what many considered an upset victory in his next bout over then three-division world champion Adrien Broner with a clear unanimous decision last Pipiri 20 i roto i te Las Vegas.

 

The aggressive, come-forward Porter has built his career as a perennial underdog who relishes in the role. Ko, with the resume he has built, it’s hard to consider him an underdog anymore heading into this crossroads showdown with Thurman.

I mua i tomo Harrison te whakakai, ako atu e pā ana ki te whetu Māori me te heke mai Detroit, me te mea kua whiwhi ia ki tenei wāhi i roto i ana kupu ake.

 

Kua Harrison mekemeke i roto i tona hapu…

E kore noa ko tona papa Ali Salaam te Welterweight ngaio mua, ko tona papa ruau ko te nguha taumahamaha o mua Henry Hank. Whakangungua Harrison e tona papa, a ko i te omaoma ki a ia rā.

 

“Te reira i te hononga-tama, te papa. I to tatou mau piki, me o matou heke matou, engari te tangata e toku pai he i roto i neke atu i toku papa hinengaro.”

 

Heoi, ko reira te whaea o Harrison nana nei whakatenatena ia ia kia tīmata mekemeke….

Harrison i pinepine iri i te kura mō te whawhai, me ia ākina ana ngā mātua ki a ia ki te tu ake mo ia, ka kite i tona whaea, he ara pea mōrearea hanga. Ko ia e taea ki tona papa, fakatuipau'i ia ki te tango i Harrison ki te omaoma.

 

“Kihai toku papa i pai ki te pouaka ahau, engari ka ngenge o te kitenga kia whakatārewatia ahau toku mama. Ka korerotia e ia toku papa ki te hoatu i ahau i roto i te whare hākinakina. Toku mama i mohio e pā ana ki te mekemeke i a ia, ka mea ki te tango ahau ki te omaoma, me te hoki tatou e kore titiro.”

 

Harrison ko e tupu i te tuarua whakaotinga o te waru kuao ake…

Ko ia te tuarua whakaotinga o ona tuakana e toru, e wha tuahine. Ko ia tata ki tona tuakana Lloyd, 26, te tangata e takaia tonu ona ringa.

 

“Ko ahau te makanga whakamātautau mo te mea katoa i mahara ki te kia whakamatauria i roto i. Ka e ahau nga kakahu ringa tuarua. Ko ahau te kuao na ko ahau te makanga. A, no te haere mai i runga i mamau, toku tuakana e mahi i te 'Raro Rock’ ki runga ki ahau, a tika kia whiwhi ahau ki runga, me te marama. Ahau uaua hanga tenei mea katoa.”

Tona whanaunga he heke mai NFL Hall o Famer Antonio Gates, ia te tangata e ngā kapa ake ki mo tona weriweri rahi waho mekemeke…

A Harrison koa nui waho o te whakakai haere mai i te kapa o te taitamarikitanga kaitākaro whutupaoro ia kaiako mo te kapa tautoko e Antonio Gates. I nga ra katoa i muri i te whakangungu Harrison kaiako te Michigan Bulldogs o te Arā Youth Football League. Kihai i ngaro ratou i te kēmu i roto i te toru tau.

 

“No toku ngakau ki nga kuao. I nga ra katoa e haere ahau ki waho, ka mahi ki te hunga kuao. Next tau, ka neke ake ratou ki te rōpū pakeke me te haere ahau ki te mahue ia ratou, ano he haurangi. Ki te kore ahau i mekemeke, E kore e meatia e ahau tetahi mea, engari kia ki te hunga kuao i nga ra katoa.”

 

Fanauhia i roto i te Detroit, tumanako ia ki te whakaara i te ti'araa o Detroit mekemeke motu…

Kua e te Detroit-Māori whitu nga wa i roto i tona pa home whawhai ano he pro, tino tata i roto i te Mei 2014.

“Ite e ahau kia rite ki te mea Detroit he hotbed mō te mekemeke tonu. E kore i te publicity kua tika i reira. E kore e te tangata e haere mai ki a Detroit rite ratou whakamahia ki a kahore ratou e whiwhi i te taua whai wāhitanga. Kahore he tangata, ko te i roto i konei i runga i te aronga. He te taua taranata, me te ërä o whawhai, te reira e noa taata ki te whakatuwhera ake i te tatau kia hoki ki te pa te ingoa nui, me kamupene nui mai.”

 

I whakahaere ia e te rongonui Emanuel Steward, a kua whakaakona i te rongonui Kronk Gym…

I whakahaere Harrison e Steward ko ia atu o te kaiako me te hoa whakaaro. I i Kronk sparred ia ki te whawhai runga pērā i Koroniria Bundrage, Andy Lee, Dominique Dolton, Chad Dawson me Luis Collazo.

 

“Emanuel i nui atu i taku kaiwhakahaere, ko ia toku hoa. I ia he iti moka o te mea katoa. Ka mau ia ki te tiaki o te ahau. E haere ahau i runga i hīkoi ki a ia, i whakapono ahau i roto ia ia. Kei a ia he wahi motuhake i roto i toku ngakau.”

 

Kei te rite ia mo te taahiraa ake i roto i te whakataetae ki Willie Nelson…

E kore feaa e te ritenga atu Harrison te hoariri uaua o tona mahi pera i tawhiti i runga i Hōngongoi 11 ina whawhai ia te mātanga me te kino Nelson.

 

“E mohio ana ahau ki a Willie Nelson ko te taata uaua. Hopoi ia te taua hau manawa ahau i tenei wahi, me e haere mai ki te rota o te ngakau. Ohio kua tonu etahi o nga amateurs runga i roto i te whenua, me te haere mai ia i taua wāhi. Ka haere mai ana parekura ki runga whakataetae. Ko ia te toa kino tūturu ki te whawhai.”

 

A'ei whawhai ia i roto i te PBC tuatahi i runga i ESPN a'ee…

Ko te tino mōhio e Harrison Hōngongoi 11 Ko te whai wāhitanga nui hoki ia. Ko tētahi e ka atu i ana whāinga o toe tūturu me iku hoko i te toa ao.

“Ahau i te ahua o te taata hei te toa tuatahi ki te mahi i te tahi mea [i roto i te PBC tuatahi i runga i ESPN a'ee]. Ki te hiahia koe ki te ngana te tahi mea i roto i mo te wa tuatahi, Ahau e taata.
