SHEFFIELD (พฤษภาคม 24) – Kell Brook will make his fourth IBF Welterweight World Title defense against U.S. star Errol Spence Jr. at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England this เสาร์พฤษภาคม 27, อาศัยอยู่บน SHOWTIME (5:15 p.m. ET/2:15 p.m. PT).

 

ลำธาร (36-1, 25 คอส) and mandatory challenger Spence, (21-0, 18 คอส), 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, วันพุธ, at Peace Gardens in Sheffield, ประเทศอังกฤษ. ด้านล่างนี้เป็นสิ่งที่พวกเขาได้กล่าว:

 

KELL BROOK

“We are going to rock Sheffield ในวันเสาร์ที่ คืน. ฉันพร้อม, I’m pumped, ฉันไม่สามารถรอ.

 

“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.

 

"[เออร์รอลสเปนซ์] 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 เสาร์ คืน. There are going to be two winners เสาร์ คืน: 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, แข็งแกร่ง, 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 ในวันเสาร์ที่.

 

“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 [แต่ละ]. All I can say is it’s going to be a thriller.

 

“I’ve arrived. มันเป็นฝันที่เป็นจริง. 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.”

 

เออร์รอลจูเนียร์ SPENCE.

 

“This is my time, this is my era. This is my time to shine. 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.

 

"ฉัน 100 ร้อยละเตรียม, ฉัน 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. ฉันเป็นนักสู้ที่แท้จริง, ฉันต้องการที่จะต่อสู้ที่ดีที่สุด, 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. ในฐานะที่เป็นมือสมัครเล่น, representing U.S. in the Olympics and as a pro having this USA patch on me and fighting for my country. ฉันรู้สึก เสาร์ is kind of like a USA vs UK battle. And U.S.A. is going to win.”

CURRENT & FORMER WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPIONS WEIGH-IN ON KELL BROOK vs. ERROL SPENCE IBF 147-POUND WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP THIS SATURDAY LIVE ON SHOWTIME®

 

Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard, คี ธ เธอร์แมน, แดนนี่การ์เซีย, Shawn พอร์เตอร์ & More Discuss The Latest In Series Of Welterweight Blockbusters

นิวยอร์ก (พฤษภาคม 23, 2017) – IBF Welterweight World Champion Kell Brook and undefeated rising star Errol Spence face off วันเสาร์นี้ อาศัยอยู่บน SHOWTIME (5:15 p.m. และ/2:15 p.m. PT) in the latest in a series of significant welterweight matchups between the best fighters in one of boxing’s deepest divisions.

 

Six of the top eight welterweights in the world* will have fought in the first five months of 2017 – all on SHOWTIME or CBS – as a de facto tournament continues in the 147-pound class to determine the No. 1 fighter in a division long controlled by the retired Floyd Mayweather.

*Source: Transnational Boxing Rankings

 

WBA and WBC Welterweight World Champion Keith Thurman unified the titles on มีนาคม 4 with a split-decision victory over Danny Garcia in a rare matchup of undefeated champions. Lamont Peterson picked up the secondary WBA Regular title on กุมภาพันธ์. 18, และเมื่อวันที่ เมษายน 22 Shawn Porter knocked out Andre Berto to become the mandatory challenger to Thurman’s WBC belt. The remaining welterweight champion, Manny Pacquiao, is set to defend his WBO title against Jeff Horn on กรกฎาคม 2.

 

Now it’s Brook and Spence’s turn to take center stage in boxing’s glamour division.

 

วันเสาร์นี้ ในเชฟฟิลด์, ประเทศอังกฤษ, ลำธาร (36-1, 25 คอส) will make the fourth defense of the IBF belt he won via majority decision over Porter in 2014. The 31-year-old, ที่ไม่เคยได้รับล้มลง, will be the decided hometown favorite in front of what is expected to be 25,000-plus fans in the first world title fight in the 162-year history of Bramall Lane.

 

The 27-year-old Spence (21-0, 18 คอส) has long been considered one of boxing’s most prized prospects. The IBF’s No. 1 contender has knocked out eight straight opponents and has improved as his level of opposition has risen – his last six opponents held an impressive combined record of 151 wins against just eight losses. The Dallas resident travels abroad for this long-awaited title opportunity as he attempts to become the first American to dethrone an Englishman on British soil in nearly a decade.**

 

With both Spence and Brook affirming their intention to unify the division after พฤษภาคม 27, see below for what legendary Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard and current top welterweights have to say about วันเสาร์ IBF title matchup.

 

SUGAR RAY LEONARD – Former Undisputed Welterweight World Champion

I’m really excited about this fight in particular, mainly because both fighters have to be on their A-game. I know there is talk about Kell’s eye surgery being a psychological problem, but from personal experience, I don’t see that being the case. I never thought about my eye once the doctor gave me the green light.

 

“To ask me who is going to win this fight, I have my favorite in Errol Spence. แต่, based on the each fighter’s physical artillery, one punch can turn the tables around. ที่ถูกกล่าวว่า, I am going to sit back and watch a great night of boxing.”

 

KEITH THURMAN – Unified WBA & WBC Welterweight World Champion

“This is an interesting fight. I have not followed Kell too much, but I have obviously seen Errol fight in the U.S. Errol is a tough, young fighter who is just getting into the public’s eye, and Kell obviously has the strength of the British crowd on his side.

 

“It should be a tough fight that really speaks to the strength of the welterweight division. Both fighters are men that I would be open to fighting as I continue to unify the division in 2018. As a fight fan, let’s see what’s ‘Special’ about Kell Brook, and we’ll see if Errol Spence can show us he’s ‘The Truth.’ It should be a great fight and I’ll be watching.”

 

DANNY GARCIA – Former Welterweight World Champion

I think this is a 50/50 สู้. I think the person with the better game plan is going to win. There is a lot of pressure to go into someone’s backyard like Spence is doing, and he’s never faced a fighter in his prime before like Brook. It is definitely a test for him and a big step up in competition. If he is ready, he can do it. He just has to go in there and stay focused.

 

The welterweight division is the best division in boxing. I still feel like I am one of the best welterweights in the world even though I came up short. I never thought I would say a loss would make me stronger because I didn’t see myself losing. I want my titles back and to be seen as the best in the best division.

 

SHAWN PORTER – Former Welterweight Champion & Current WBC No. 1 Contender

“I’m glad Errol is getting his title shot, and I’m happy he’s going to England for it. I’m obviously pulling for the American. Errol is a phenomenal athlete and a great boxer. I think he’s ready to show the world something, but Kell is right up there in that top tier of welterweights. People who tune in should be thrilled. I know I’m looking forward to it.

 

“The welterweight division is awesome, top to bottom. We’re right where we need to be and should be. Boxing returning back to the masses with PBC came at the perfect time for me and the rest of the top welterweights. There are so many of us capable of winning a title right now.”

 

LAMONT PETERSON – WBA (ปกติ) Welterweight World Champion

“This is going to be a tough fight, but I think Errol should win. At least I’m pulling for Errol to win. He’s got to overcome the idea that there will probably be 30,000 people cheering against him, so he has to show the judges that he deserves to win.

 

“Brook is a good fighter and is going to bring his best, but I think Errol, ในที่สุด, is the better fighter. But he will have to prove it.

 

The welterweight division is one of the best in boxing right now. We’ve got a lot of good fighters in their prime making the division strong. And guys are willing to fight each other. We are seeing the kind of fights the fans want to see. If this keeps up it could bring boxing back to where it was in the days when Sugar Ray Leonard, โรแบร์โต Duran, Thomas Hearns and Marvin Hagler all fought each other. So it’s really good for boxing right now.

KRIEGEL: Do you think this is the fight that announces Errol Spence?

 

SPENCE JR.: “I think so… I’m willing to prove to everybody that I am that guy”

SHOWTIME มวยชิงแชมป์® Live From Bramall Lane In Sheffield, ประเทศอังกฤษ

 

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

 

Brook makes the fourth defense of his beloved IBF strap he landed in the U.S. ในเดือนสิงหาคม 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. ตอนนี้, 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,"บรูคกล่าวว่า. “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 Spencethey 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 พฤษภาคม 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,” สเปนซ์กล่าวว่า. “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. บน พฤษภาคม 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 พฤษภาคม 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 การพบปะดังกล่าว. บน วันพฤหัสบดี, มีนาคม 30 via StubHub.

 

Tickets go on general sale at 10 การพบปะดังกล่าว. บน วันศุกร์, มีนาคม 31 via the Sheffield United FC Box Office.

BROOKLYN (สิงหาคม 21, 2016) – พ่ายแพ้ดาวที่เพิ่มขึ้น เออร์รอล “ความจริง” จูเนียสเปน. (21-0-, 18 คอส) moved one step closer to a world title as he delivered a thunderous sixth-round knockout of tough Italian contender เลียวนาร์ด “สิงโต” Bundu (33-2-2, 12 คอส) Sunday afternoon in the main event of พรีเ​​มียร์แชมเปี้ยนมวย (PBC)บน เอ็นบีซี from Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk in Brooklyn.
With the knockout, จูเนียสเปน. becomes the mandatory challenger for undefeated welterweight เคลล์บรูค and showed his willingness to step in the ring with Brook.
I definitely want my shot at Kell Brook and his title,” สเปนซ์จูเนียร์กล่าวว่า. “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,” สเปนซ์จูเนียร์กล่าวว่า. “He’s very awkward and I was trying to feel him out.
จูเนียสเปน. 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,” สเปนซ์จูเนียร์กล่าวว่า. “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, จูเนียสเปน. 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.
จูเนียสเปน. won every round on all three judgescards and landed a staggering 64 เปอร์เซ็นต์ของหมัดอำนาจของเขา, per Compubox.
I think this performance showed once again that I am one of the top fighters at 147-pounds,” สเปนซ์จูเนียร์กล่าวว่า.
In tape delayed action that airs on NBCSN at 9 p.m. และ/6 p.m. PT, exciting featherweight contender ClaudioThe Matrix” ทิ้ง (21-1, 15 คอส) scored a dominant fourth-round technical knockout of fellow Dominican Republic-native หลุยส์กัลเดรอน (28-10, 17 คอส).
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. อย่างไรก็ตาม, it was Marrero who was much sharper in that department, ท่าเรือ 60 ร้อยละของการเจาะอำนาจของเขาที่จะเพียงแค่ 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 ของรอบ.
I’m glad that Hinojosa was brave enough to take the fight,” said Marrero. “ฉันจะต่อสู้กับใคร. 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 โล่ won her second consecutive Olympic Gold medal for the U.S., women’s boxing was given another great platform as Brooklyn’s ทุ่งหญ้า “ความร้อน” บึกบึน (18-0, 4 คอส) earned a majority decision over previously unbeaten คล้ายเปลือก “วิธี Shelito ของ” วินเซนต์ (18-1, 1 KO) ในการแข่งขัน 10 รอบของพวกเขา.
This is definitely a win for women’s boxing,” ฮาร์ดีกล่าวว่า. “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,” ฮาร์ดีกล่าวว่า. “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 เจาะเมื่อเทียบกับ 194 for Vincent.
I thought I won the fight pretty convincingly,” ฮาร์ดีกล่าวว่า. “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.
ในที่สุด, the judges ruled the bout a majority decision for Hardy by scores of 99-91, 97-93 และ 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:
HEATHER 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. ชนะ, สูญเสียหรือวาด, we’ve both opened the door for other women and that’s what’s most important.
“การต่อสู้ครั้งนี้หมายความว่าทุกอย่างกับผม. 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 ในวันอาทิตย์นี้. Shelly is going to get a free boxing lesson from me ในวันอาทิตย์นี้. 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, ฉันได้รับรางวัล. The only way I leave without a victory is if I get robbed.
“ฉันได้รับการทำงานอย่างหนัก. 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.
“ฉันจะไม่มองหาสิ่งที่น่าพิศวง. ถ้ามันมา, มันมา. 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. มันเป็นโอกาสที่ดี. 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 เมื่อวันอาทิตย์ที่. 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. คุณไม่ต้องการที่จะพลาดไม่ได้.
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.

จูเนียสเปน. and Bundu spoke to media at Via Della Pace in downtown Manhattan before they visited Coney Island for photo-ops ahead of their วันอาทิตย์ bout in the Brooklyn venue. นี่คือสิ่งที่ผู้เข้าร่วมจะพูด วันพฤหัสบดี:
เออร์รอลจูเนียร์ SPENCE.
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. หากที่น่าพิศวงมา, ฉันจะเอามัน. 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
“จูเนียสเปน. เป็นนักมวยที่ดี. He’s probably my toughest fight to date. These kind of fights make me more motivated.
“ฉันไม่มีอะไรจะเสีย. I’m going to give it all I have and I’m very confident in myself. I believe I can be victorious.
“จูเนียสเปน. 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 ปีที่ผ่านมา. 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. นั่นคือสิ่งที่ฉันต้องทำ. That’s all that is in my head.
LOU Dibella, ประธานของ DiBella บันเทิง
Everyone should come out to Coney Island เมื่อวันอาทิตย์ที่ 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.
ในวันอาทิตย์ จูเนียสเปน. 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.
