“When we saw the opportunity to deliver this great super middleweight championship fight to the U.S. публика, we jumped at it,” said Executive Vice President and General Manager of SHOWTIME Sports, Стивън Еспиноза. “We thank Matchroom Sport for making it possible for us to carry this bonus coverage to the U.S. Doing so compliments our robust digital and social media content plan serving boxing fans online and attracting new ones. This further demonstrates our unrivaled commitment to the sport. No one is making a more significant and impactful contribution to boxing’s momentum than SHOWTIME.”

Former three-time title challenger Groves and former champ Chudinov (14-1, 10 Нокаута) will meet for the vacant WBA Super Middleweight World Championship in a matchup of the WBA’s No. 1 и Не. 2 challengers in a co-featured bout at Bramall Lane.

Гроувс (25-3, 18 Нокаута) has won four straight since teaming up with 2016 Trainer of the Year Shane McGuigan following a close split-decision loss to then-WBC Champion Badou Jack in 2015. The only other blemishes on his record came in title challenges to long-time 168-pound champ Carl Froch.

“I believe this is the best opportunity for me to achieve my dream and become world champion,” Groves said earlier this week. “Time is on my side. I had a good year last year, and I’m in a good place. I’ve put in the work, и сега, I need to make this count.

“Everything that’s happened in the past has just made me more determined. I know the pressure is on, and I can’t afford to make any more mistakes. This might be my best chance to win a world title, but it could also be my last.”

Chudinov (14-1, 10 Нокаута) originally won the WBA Super Middleweight Title with a split-decision victory over Felix Sturm in 2015 and made one successful defense before losing via controversial majority decision in a rematch with Sturm in 2016. Sturm later vacated the belt due to injury, opening up the opportunity for Chudinov to win back his title тази събота against Groves. Chudinov is ranked No. 1 by the WBA while Groves is ranked No. 2.

Ручей (36-1, 25 Нокаута) and mandatory challenger Spence, (21-0, 18 Нокаута), clash on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING in one of the biggest fights in the 147-pound division, and the elite pairing are promising to deliver an electric night of action.

 

Both fighters participated in a public media workout today, Сряда, at Peace Gardens in Sheffield, Англия. Below is what they had to say:

 

KELL BROOK

“We are going to rock Sheffield в събота нощ. Аз съм готов, I’m pumped, Не мога да чакам.

 

“There is a lot of pressure but I always perform better under pressure. I’m meant to be on the big stage, I’m ready for the pressure and to see the bright lights.

 

"[Ерол Спенс] is a serious dude from America, he’s a young hungry lion, but he’s not beaten anyone like me. I’m a champion and I’ve been a champion. I’m defending. I know both sides of the coin, I’ve prepared very well.

 

“I’m ready for a war. And that’s what you’re going to see – a war Събота нощ. There are going to be two winners Събота нощ: that is going to be myself and everyone watching.

 

“There’s no way he can beat me. I’m a man possessed and I have a serious job to do. This is my night to shine.

 

“I love it [being the underdog]. I was born for it. People don’t have me winning this fight, but that just gives me the extra energy I need to go out and prove them all wrong.

 

“This guy is a talented guy, but he’s never been tested. He’s never been in with someone who is so determined like me. Who’s bigger, по-силен, who has all this energy, who’s meant for this game, who’s meant to be a winner. He hasn’t been in with someone with that mindset, and that’s what I’m coming to bring в събота.

 

“All the hard work has been done. The talking will stop; we’re ready to let some fireworks fly now.

 

“I can see us both maybe hitting the canvas. You’re going to be on the edge of your seat from round one. He’s not going to take a backwards step, and I’m not [всеки]. All I can say is it’s going to be a thriller.

 

“I’ve arrived. Това е сбъдната мечта. It’s going to be so perfect for me that night to walk out and just see everyone. The electricity is going to be phenomenal.”

 

Ерол Спенс JR.

 

“This is my time, this is my era. Време е да блесна. This is my time to get the belts, this is my time to unify and become the undisputed welterweight champion of the world. This is just another stepping stone to get to where I want to be.

 

"Аз съм 100 процента подготвени, Аз съм 100 percent focused, and I’m 100 percent ready to give the fans what they want, which is a real great fight.

 

“I can’t let the fans get to me. I’m not worried about him having his hometown fans. Eventually everyone will be my fans by the end of the night.

 

“I don’t feel the pressure at all. I feel like there is more pressure on him because he’s fighting at home. Of course there’s pressure on me to win, but I welcome that pressure. It’s going to do nothing but motivate me, make me more hungry and make we want to win even more.

 

“You just have to have that ‘it’ factor, and I think I have it. I’m not worried about the crowd, I’m not worried about the boos or anything like that.

 

“It’s a good step-up. Kell Brook is a good fighter, he has great skills. I welcome this step-up – I’ve been asking for it for a long time and I’m finally getting my opportunity.

 

“My confidence comes from my hard work. I know the hours and time that I put in the gym.”

 

“This is an ideal situation. I would be disappointed if I was fighting someone else because he vacated. Аз съм истински боец, Искам да се бори с най-доброто, I want to fight the champion and earn it the right way. I can’t wait to prove I am one of the best fighters in the welterweight division.

 

“I’ve been on the USA team for a long time. Като аматьор, representing U.S. in the Olympics and as a pro having this USA patch on me and fighting for my country. чувствам Събота is kind of like a USA vs UK battle. And U.S.A. is going to win.”

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP Бокс® Live At 5:15 p.m. И/2:15 p.m. PT от Bramall Lane в Шефилд, Англия

 

NEW YORK (Май 23, 2017) - Световният шампион на IBF в полусредна категория Кел Брук и непобедената изгряваща звезда Ерол Спенс се изправят тази събота живеят на SHOWTIME (5:15 p.m. И/2:15 p.m. PT) в последния от поредицата значими срещи в полусредна категория между най-добрите бойци в една от най-дълбоките дивизии на бокса.

 

Шест от осемте най-добри полусредства в света * ще се бият през първите пет месеца на 2017 - всичко по SHOWTIME или CBS - тъй като де факто турнирът продължава в класа от 147 паунда, за да се определи No. 1 боец в дивизия, дълго контролирана от пенсионирания Флойд Мейуедър.

*Източник: Класиране на транснационалния бокс

 

Световният шампион на WBA и WBC в полусредна категория Кийт Търман обедини титлите Март 4 с победа с разделено решение над Дани Гарсия в рядък мач от непобедени шампиони. Ламънт Питърсън взе вторичната титла на WBA Regular на Февруари. 18, и на Април 22 Шон Портър нокаутира Андре Берто, за да стане задължителният претендент за пояса на WBC на Търман. Останалият шампион в полусредна категория, Мани Пакиао, е настроен да защитава титлата си в WBO срещу Джеф Хорн на Юли 2.

 

Сега е ред на Брук и Спенс да заемат централно място в бляскавата дивизия на бокса.

 

Тази събота в Шефилд, Англия, Ручей (36-1, 25 Нокаута) ще направи четвъртата защита на пояса на IBF, който спечели с мажоритарно решение над Портър през 2014. 31-годишният, който никога не е било съборено, ще бъде решеният фаворит в родния град пред очакваните 25 000 фенове в първата битка за световна титла в 162-годишната история на Bramall Lane.

 

27-годишният Спенс (21-0, 18 Нокаута) отдавна се смята за една от най-ценените перспективи за бокса. Номер на IBF. 1 претендентът нокаутира осем прави опонента и се подобри с повишаването на нивото на опозиция - последните му шест опоненти държат впечатляващ комбиниран рекорд от 151 печели срещу само осем загуби. Резидентът на Далас пътува в чужбина за тази дългоочаквана възможност за титла, докато се опитва да стане първият американец, който детронира англичанин на британска земя от близо десетилетие. **

 

С двете Спенс и Брук потвърдиха намерението си да обединят дивизията след Май 27, вижте по-долу за какво трябва да кажат легендарната Зала на славата Захар Рей Леонард и настоящите най-добри велтървайтъри Събота Мач за титлата на IBF.

 

ЗАХАРЕН ЛЪЧ ЛЕОНАРД - бивш безспорен световен шампион в полусредна категория

“Наистина съм развълнуван по-специално от тази битка, главно защото и двамата бойци трябва да участват в своята A-игра. Знам, че се говори за операция на очите на Кел като психологически проблем, но от личен опит, Не виждам това да е така. Никога не съм мислил за окото си, след като лекарят ми даде зелена светлина.

 

„Да ме попиташ кой ще спечели тази битка, Имам любимата си в Errol Spence. Но, въз основа на физическата артилерия на всеки боец, един удар може да обърне масите. Това се каза, Ще седна и ще гледам страхотна нощ на бокса. "

 

KEITH THURMAN - Единна WBA & Световният шампион в полусредна категория на WBC

„Това е интересна битка. Не съм следвал твърде много Кел, но явно съм виждал Errol да се бие в САЩ. Errol е труден, млад боец, който тепърва влиза в очите на обществеността, а Кел очевидно има силата на британската тълпа на своя страна.

 

„Това би трябвало да е тежка битка, която наистина говори за силата на полусредната дивизия. И двамата бойци са мъже, за които бих бил отворен да се бия, докато продължавам да обединявам дивизията в 2018. Като фен на борбата, да видим какво е „специалното“ за Кел Брук, и ще видим дали Ерол Спенс може да ни покаже, че е „Истината.“ Това би трябвало да е страхотна битка и аз ще гледам. "

 

ДАНИ ГАРСИЯ - бивш световен шампион в полусредна категория

“Мисля, че това е 50/50 борба. Мисля, че човекът с по-добрия план за игра ще спечели. Има голям натиск да се влезе в нечий двор, както го прави Спенс, и никога преди не е срещал боец ​​в разцвета на силите си като Брук. Това определено е тест за него и голяма стъпка в състезанието. Ако е готов, той може да го направи. Той просто трябва да влезе там и да остане съсредоточен.

 

“Дивизията в полусредна категория е най-добрата дивизия в бокса. Все още се чувствам сякаш съм един от най-добрите велтъргайтери в света, макар и да не бях добър. Никога не съм мислил, че ще кажа, че загубата ще ме направи по-силен, защото не се виждах да губя. Искам моите титли да се върнат и да се разглеждат като най-добрите в най-добрата дивизия.”

 

ШОУН ПОРТЪР - бивш шампион в полусредна категория & Текущ WBC No.. 1 Претендент

„Радвам се, че Ерол прави своя заглавие, и се радвам, че заминава за Англия. Очевидно дърпам за американеца. Ерол е феноменален спортист и страхотен боксьор. Мисля, че е готов да покаже на света нещо, но Кел е точно там, в онзи най-висок клас велтъртайт. Хората, които се настройват, трябва да бъдат развълнувани. Знам, че го очаквам с нетърпение.

 

„Дивизията в полусредна категория е страхотна, горе до долу. Ние сме точно там, където трябва да бъдем и трябва да бъдем. Боксът, връщащ се към масите с PBC, дойде в идеалното време за мен и останалите най-добри велтървайтъри. Толкова много сме в състояние да спечелим титла в момента. "

 

ЛАМОНТ ПЕТЕРСОН - WBA (Редовен) Световен шампион в полусредна категория

„Това ще бъде тежка битка, но мисля, че Ерол трябва да спечели. Поне дърпам Errol да спечели. Той трябва да преодолее идеята, че вероятно ще има 30,000 хора, които приветстват срещу него, така че той трябва да покаже на съдиите, че заслужава да спечели.

 

„Брук е добър боец ​​и ще даде всичко от себе си, но мисля, че Errol, в края, е по-добрият боец. Но той ще трябва да го докаже.

 

“Дивизията в полусредна категория е една от най-добрите в бокса в момента. Имаме много добри бойци в разцвета на силите, които правят дивизията силна. И момчетата са готови да се бият помежду си. Виждаме какви битки искат да видят феновете. Ако това продължи, може да върне бокса там, където е бил във времената, когато Шугър Рей Леонард, Roberto Duran, Томас Хърнс и Марвин Хаглър се биеха помежду си. Така че наистина е добре за бокса в момента.”

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP Бокс® Live From Bramall Lane In Sheffield, Англия

 

Kell Brook will defend his IBF World Welterweight title against U.S. star Errol Spence at Bramall Lane in Sheffield on Събота май 27, live on Sky Sports Box Office and live on SHOWTIME in the U.S. на SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.

 

Brook makes the fourth defense of his beloved IBF strap he landed in the U.S. през август 2014 with a career-best win over Shawn Porter. He then blitzed Jo Jo Dan, Frankie Gavin and Kevin Bizier before stepping up to middleweight to face fearsome Kazakh Gennady Golovkin at The O2 in September. Сега, the Sheffield star welcomes another unbeaten superstar into the ring.

 

Undefeated Spence became the mandatory challenger for Brook’s belt when he blasted Leonard Bundu inside six rounds in August, the eighth straight stoppage win for the Texas-based New Yorker who destroyed Chris Algieri inside four rounds two months earlier.

 

Brook and Spence now clash in one of the biggest fight in the 147-pound division, and the elite pairing are promising to deliver an electric night at the home of Sheffield United FC.

 

“I’m so excited about this fight and also about making history in my city,"Каза Брук. “It’s long been a dream of mine to fight outdoors at Bramall Lane and I’m pleased to do that in the biggest fight in the welterweight division. I saw many people talk about how I would avoid Errol Spence – they don’t know me, they don’t know what I’m about. All I’ve ever wanted to do is to give the fans the fights they want and they have it right here on Май 27. I’m going to show the world that I’m the best welterweight on the planet and I’m going to do it right before my people’s eyes.”

 

“I’m happy I’m finally getting an opportunity to accomplish a lifelong dream of becoming a world champion,", Каза Спенс. “I feel that this is one of the best and biggest fights in world boxing and I am 100 percent focused and determined to bring the belt back home to the U.S. На Май 27, I will be more than ready.”

 

“This is one of the best fights in world boxing,” said Brook’s promoter Eddie Hearn. “Many believed that Kell Brook would look to avoid Errol Spence but he is a proud man who never ducks a challenge. Coming off the fight with GGG this is an extremely tough fight to come back to but I believe Kell Brook is the best welterweight in the world and he will have the chance to prove it on Май 27. It’s ‘The Special One’ vs ‘The Truth’, a historic event at Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane – we are planning an unforgettable night.”

 

“This is great news for Kell and Sheffield United,” said Sheffield United director Scott McCabe. “We have been working with Matchroom for some time to bring this high profile fight to our Bramall Lane stadium where we have exciting plans to stage further significant events utilising the high standard facilities that have been developed by the Club in recent years.”

 

Tickets will go on sale to Matchroom Fight Pass members at 10 А.М. на Четвъртък, Март 30 via StubHub.

 

Tickets go on general sale at 10 А.М. на Петък, Март 31 via the Sheffield United FC Box Office.

This fight is the highest-rated PBC fight to-date.
Spence-Bundu drew the largest television audience for boxing в 18 години (Август 21, 2016 срещу. Март 23, 1998).
“I knew this would be the most important fight of my career and the goal was to not just win, but to put on a spectacular one-sided performance,” каза Спенс Jr. “It felt good to go out there and give everyone watching a great show and to do it in front of such a large television audience makes it even better.

BROOKLYN (Август 21, 2016) – Непобеждаван изгряваща звезда Ерол “Истината” Спенс Jr. (21-0-, 18 Нокаута) moved one step closer to a world title as he delivered a thunderous sixth-round knockout of tough Italian contender Leonard “Лъвът” Bundu (33-2-2, 12 Нокаута) Sunday afternoon in the main event of Премиер боксови Champions (PBC)на NBC from Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk in Brooklyn.
With the knockout, Спенс Jr. becomes the mandatory challenger for undefeated welterweight Кел Brook and showed his willingness to step in the ring with Brook.
“I definitely want my shot at Kell Brook and his title,” каза Спенс Jr. “I want him next. If he vacates or gets stripped then I’ll fight for his vacant title. I’ve paid my dues.”
In a prime spot that immediately followed the U.S. Men’s basketball team winning Olympic gold in Rio, the Dallas-native started patiently, measuring his opponent with steady jabs. Bundu came ready to fight and tried to make it difficult for Spence Jr. by switching stances and attacking from awkward angles.
“I was a little shakey in the first round and second rounds,” каза Спенс Jr. “He’s very awkward and I was trying to feel him out.”
Спенс Jr. began to pick up his power punching as the rounds went on and started to connect with left uppercuts and hooks. After round four, Bundu returned to his corner with swelling beginning to show up over his right eye.
“Once I was able to catch his rhythm and figure him out, I knew I had him,” каза Спенс Jr. “I knew he was very tough, but he never hurt me. He was switching and jumping in and out and it took me a little bit to adjust to.”
The dominance with his power punches began to wear Bundu down as the fight entered the sixth. After seemingly scoring a knockdown, which was ruled a slip by referee Johnny Callas, Спенс Jr. quickly pounced on Bundu and trapped him in the corner.
“He certainly lived up to the hype,” said Bundu, who was taken to the hospital for evaluation after the fight. “Errol was more precise than Keith Thurman. Errol threw more punches and was fresh in every round.”
It didn’t take long for Spence Jr. to take advantage as he hit Bundu with a hard left uppercut and followed with a crushing right hook that put Bundu on the mat for good and forced the referee to stop the fight at 2:06 of the sixth-round.
“I really tried to get up but I couldn’t,” said Bundu, who had never been stopped before. “I am okay though. I feel good.”
Спенс Jr. won every round on all three judges’ cards and landed a staggering 64 процента на Неговата сила удари, per Compubox.
“I think this performance showed once again that I am one of the top fighters at 147-pounds,” каза Спенс Jr.
In tape delayed action that airs on NBCSN at 9 p.m. И/6 p.m. PT, exciting featherweight contender Claudio “The Matrix” Marrero (21-1, 15 Нокаута) scored a dominant fourth-round technical knockout of fellow Dominican Republic-native Luis Hinojosa (28-10, 17 Нокаута).
“This is how champions perform,” said Marrero. “They do it smart and they figure out their opponents quickly. Regardless of his record, you have to figure it out and then go for the finish.”
Marrero was in control from the outset, putting Hinojosa on the mat with a right hand early in the first stanza. Hinojosa tried to keep himself in the fight by throwing primarily power punches. Обаче, it was Marrero who was much sharper in that department, приземяване 60 процента от силата му удари просто 24 percent from Hinojosa.
In the fourth-round Marrero’s power and style proved to be too much as he consistently beat Hinojosa to the punch on his way three fourth-round knockdowns of Hinojosa. The final barrage and knockdown forced referee Danny Schiavone to stop the bout at 2:55 на кръга.
“I’m glad that Hinojosa was brave enough to take the fight,” said Marrero. “Ще се боря никого. I don’t care how short the notice is.
“I’ve endured my loss to Jesus Cuellar and I feel like I’m back at the top of the contenders in the featherweight division. The champions keep running from me so I’m going to keep working until I’m the mandatory and can get another title shot.”
On the same day that Flint, Michigan’s Claressa Шийлдс won her second consecutive Olympic Gold medal for the U.S., women’s boxing was given another great platform as Brooklyn’s Пирен “The Heat” Издръжлив (18-0, 4 Нокаута) earned a majority decision over previously unbeaten Който изобилствува с черупки “Shelito Пътя” Vincent (18-1, 1 KO) in their 10-round bout.
“This is definitely a win for women’s boxing,” каза Харди. “We kept up a great pace throughout and the fans were invested the whole time.”
The action was non-stop from the beginning, as Vincent charged in early and often looking to close the distance between her and the taller Hardy. Hardy was the more mobile fighter as she circled the ring looking to find the right distance to attack the Providence-native.
“Every time she crowded me, she would get off more punches,” каза Харди. “I wanted to keep the fight on the outside and when I did that I had a lot of success.”
The longtime rivals were able to live up the hype that their matchup drew. The action was non-stop and it appeared that neither woman would be able to build a big lead on the scorecards.
Hardy’s movement allowed her to create more angles for her attack as she varied her offense with overhand rights, jabs and hooks. Vincent was consistent countering, especially with her left hand that yielded much success.
The punch stats reflected the exciting nature of the fight as Hardy threw 752 punches while Shelly threw 678 across 10 two-minute rounds. It was Hardy who had the advantage in punches landed as she connected on 251 удари сравнение 194 for Vincent.
“I thought I won the fight pretty convincingly,” каза Харди. “She only really caught me a few times the whole fight. I knew I had to be tactical to win the fight. Judging by the belt around my waist, I would rate my performance a 10.”
Power punches were a key to the fight, with the two combatants combining for 955 power punches thrown. Hardy’s biggest advantage came in this department as she landed over 50 percent of her power shots to 34 percent from Vincent.
В края, the judges ruled the bout a majority decision for Hardy by scores of 99-91, 97-93 и 95-95. Vincent believed she had done enough to win the fight and expressed her displeasure with the judges scores afterwards
“I definitely thought I won the fight,” said Vincent. “I was coming forward and I landed the bigger shots. Everyone saw the fight.
“I got head-butted all night long. I came here and everybody told me I’d get robbed. I’ll take the rematch but I’m not playing by these rules. I want her to come up to Providence.”

The two undefeated brawlers Hardy and Vincent are expected to bring fireworks in a matchup that has been building since Vincent showed up at Hardy’s second pro bout looking to get in the ring with the popular Brooklyn-native.
Here is what the fighters had to say Friday:
Хедър HARDY
“This is a huge step up to be on television. It’s not the top of the ladder. There’s still room to go but I’m really excited, happy and proud to be on this stage. It proves that all you have to do is be super determined, open your mouth and good things can happen.
“A lot of people have been waiting for this one. She’s done a lot of talking and I’m pretty quiet back to her. My fans know I’m going to do my talking in the ring, so there is definitely a lot of excitement leading up to this.
“I’m going to be fighting closer to home than ever. It’s an honor to be able to represent Brooklyn on the first show at the Amphitheater in Coney Island.
“When I spar, I don’t look to focus in too much on my opponent. I just want to get better. We’ve had really diverse sparring. If I improve my techniques, there is no one who can beat me and that’s the truth.
“You can prepare as much as you want, but I don’t like to over plan. We’ll go in there and figure her out in the first round. We’ve done the work that we need to.
“A lot of people have criticized some of the opponents me and Shelly have had, but we’ve honestly always had an eye on preserving our records and making sure this fight happens on television. This fight is not about my wins, but it’s about giving women boxers the opportunity to be showcased. Печалба, загуби или завърши, we’ve both opened the door for other women and that’s what’s most important.
“Тази борба означава всичко за мен. This is for everything I’ve ever stood for. I came up from nothing. I’ve spoken up about my past so that people who have walked a similar road will know what is possible with hard work and dedication. I’m here because I wanted something so bad and I wouldn’t let anybody tell me I couldn’t have it.
“I’ve fought so hard for everything and it inspires me to keep going. This is only one step. There’s so many more doors I want to open before I end my career.
“I would like to treat everyone to a boxing clinic тази неделя. Shelly is going to get a free boxing lesson from me тази неделя. Not many people can say they get that.”
SHELLY VINCENT
“This fight is going to be non-stop action. Don’t blink.”
“She’s a busy fighter. I’m smaller than her, but power-punching comes from your legs. It won’t matter. I’ve fought tall girls and I’ve fought small girls and it’s the same thing, Спечелих. The only way I leave without a victory is if I get robbed.
“I’ve been working hard. Even harder than usual. I’ve run, biked, swam miles and miles preparing for this. We didn’t leave any stone unturned getting ready for this.
“I’m not going to look for the knockout. If it comes, it comes. I’m looking for the victory. I want to attack her body. It’s there for me.
“It feels great to finally be almost time to fight. This fight couldn’t have come at a better time. Това е една чудесна възможност. We both worked hard for this. I don’t take away from what Heather does for the sport, but I’m excited to get the victory.
“I love New York. It’s always great being here and I hope I can fight here more after I win.
“I was trying to find a way to channel my anger when I was younger and it ended up being a release for me. Eventually this sport turned my whole life around so that I could help others who are like I was.
“This is great for our sport and I want it to give hope to the little girls that are coming up in the sport. I’m winning, but our sport will be the real winner. It’s an honor to fight for all the girls who came before me and didn’t get this opportunity.
JOSEPH WILLIAMS
“Training camp was very good. I feel strong and I’m ready to get in the ring в неделя. I’m sharp and really ready to fight.
“I’m a versatile fighter so I’m ready for anything. Early in the first round I’ll figure him out and start breaking him down.
“The venue looks like an amazing place to fight. If you’re coming to watch me, get there early. Вие не искате да го пропуснете.
“I want to keep working towards a title. I want to get my way down to super middleweight and I’m going to keep working every day to get a world title shot.
“Me and Errol Spence Jr. have some history. I was the 2012 Olympic team alternate, so I’ve been following his career and I’m rooting for him. It will be a good night for boxing because I definitely expect him to put on a show.
“My coaches have watched my opponent. I’m ready to adapt to anything. I trust my team and they tell me how to attack. I’m strong and ready to fight.”
JULIAN SOSA
“I’m very humbled to be on a big card again, with an opportunity to showcase my skills. I have to show how thankful I am by working hard and looking very good that night.
“Being the first boxing show at this venue means I’m a part of history. I have to make sure that my performance is memorable.
“This was the best training camp I’ve ever had and I can’t wait to display the hard work that I’ve put in the gym.
“The fan support I have means a lot. It’s really nice to have all my friends and family together and able to see me do what I love to do. There’s no better feeling than that.
“My opponent is a very aggressive fighter. The first couple of rounds we’re going to try to work the body. As we go to the later rounds, I’m going to take the knockout if it presents itself. But I’m happy to put on a beautiful boxing clinic.”
CHORDALE BOOKER
“Sparring has been really good for this fight. I’ve been going hard. I don’t take it easy on anyone during sparring because I need to be ready to fight.
“It’s really big to be a part of this kind of fight. Especially being a welterweight and with the main event being a title eliminator. I’ve looked up to Errol for a while. He’s a guy I’ve tried to pick up different things from Errol since we’re both southpaws.
“I want everyone to get there early. I’ve got power and I’m looking for a knockout.
“It means everything to fight in front of the fans in Brooklyn. I’m just really excited. My family and friends are from Brooklyn, Flatbush specifically and I’m expecting a lot of support.
“I’m excited to be boxing as a pro for the first time in my hometown. It’s even better that it’s at a new venue. It’s going to be big for me and something that I remember forever.”

Спенс Jr. and Bundu spoke to media at Via Della Pace in downtown Manhattan before they visited Coney Island for photo-ops ahead of their Неделя bout in the Brooklyn venue. Ето какво участниците трябваше да се каже, Четвъртък:
Ерол Спенс JR.
“This has been a long camp. I’m in great shape and I’ve had strong sparring partners throughout. Bundu is a very good fighter. He’s experienced and technically sound, but he can be awkward.
“I’m happy to be back in New York. I think it’s going to be a good fight and I’m looking to put on a spectacular performance.
“We went up the rankings trying to find an opponent. A lot of guys didn’t want to fight me, even in a title eliminator. So I want to thank Bundu for taking the fight.
“I’m not worried about what’s going to happen next. I know what’s next if I take care of my business. If I win I’m guaranteed a chance at the world title. I want the title fight sooner rather than later.
“We try to break down an opponent’s weakness in camp. But we’re also looking at what they do right. We have to capitalize on everything. My trainer will watch the video and talk about what he sees. It’s a lot of communication in the gym.
“I love sparring with younger guys. Preferably amateurs or guys who just turned pro. They have more to prove in a sparring session. They really push me and help make me better.
“My main goal is to win. The only thing I have to do, is win. Ако е нокаут, Аз ще го взема. But I’m not going to force it. He’s a tough and durable fighter. It has to be setup and it has to be calculated.”
LEONARD BUNDU
“Спенс Jr. е добър боксьор. He’s probably my toughest fight to date. These kind of fights make me more motivated.
“Няма какво да губя. I’m going to give it all I have and I’m very confident in myself. I believe I can be victorious.
“Спенс Jr. and Thurman have some similarities but also are completely different fighters. I have studied Spence and I believe I will have an even better chance against Spence Jr..
“I’m always trying new workouts and trying to improve my training. I’m in tremendous shape and I know it will help carry me in the ring.
“I thought my performance was okay against Thurman. There was definitely room to improve and I think I’m an even better fighter now than I was then. I feel like I was 10 Преди години. I’m like wine, I’m truly getting better with age.
“I see his weaknesses and I have to take advantage of them. I believe I can put him in trouble with my countering but it all has to come together in the ring.
“I love the challenge. I want to give him his first loss. That’s what I have to do. That’s all that is in my head.”
LOU DIBELLA, Президентът на DiBella Entertainment
“Everyone should come out to Coney Island в неделя afternoon to see what’s going to be an incredible day and early evening of boxing. The fights start at 2:30 p.m. in the afternoon and is fully covered, so there will be no weather issue. It’s a beautiful new facility with an incredible view.
“This is the first boxing broadcast that will be nationally televised from Coney Island. In my mind we have one of the best young fighters in the world defending his standing against a guy who has had a long and successful career. Both Spence Jr. and Bundu were Olympians and it will be a real test for Errol.
“There’s no question Errol is the favorite while Bundu is the underdog, but he’s been the underdog before. He knows he has to win and that this could be his last chance on a big stage.
“I’ve promoted a lot of fighters throughout the years and there wasn’t a better fighter from the last Olympic class or this one that is better than Errol Spence Jr. In terms of ability, talent and instincts he’s world class. He fights with much more intelligence than his ring age. He’s a master of controlling the ring. When I watch this kid fight I’m always blown away.
“On Sunday Спенс Jr. is fighting a real professional and he has a chance to prove something on national television. This is a great forum for him to follow the Olympic Gold medal basketball game. The kind of audience that is going to watch the Gold medal game are the kind of people that we need to bring into boxing. I’m proud to promote this show.”
