LAS VEGAS (Décembre 19, 2017) – Après un début emphatique dans la division des lourds légers, champion du monde de deux-division Badou Jack est à la recherche d'utiliser 2018 pour prouver qu'il est le top combattant de 175 livres dans le monde et l'un des meilleurs combattants livre pour livre dans le sport.
“Je suis 100 pour cent confiant dans ma capacité à prendre et battre tout le monde dans la division,” a déclaré Jack. “Je suis le nouveau venu à mi-lourds, mais je l'ai déjà prouvé que je fais partie. Je mets tous les mi-lourds préavis.”
premier film percutant lumière Jack a vu le défier le champion WBA Nathan Cleverly en cas de co-principal de Mayweather vs. épreuve de force blockbuster McGregor en Août devant des millions. Jack a dominé l'action dès le départ et a arrêté le champion dans le cinquième tour pour devenir titulaire d'un titre mondial dans une deuxième catégorie de poids.
“Après ma victoire contre Astucieusement, Je suis prêt à cibler les plus grands combats là-bas,” a déclaré Jack. “Je sais que si je joue à mes capacités, Je vais définir un chemin vers l'unification des titres. Je dois juste prendre un combat à la fois.”
Jack a commencé 2017 en mettant sur une performance sensationnelle dans une lutte du candidat Année contre puis IBF des super-moyens champion du monde James DeGale. The unification showdown on Janvier 14 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn ended in a controversial draw, malgré la plupart des observateurs de la lutte Ringside marquant en faveur de Jack.
“moi-même la mise en place pour le succès pour l'année prochaine ne serait pas possible sans avoir un grand 2017,” Jack continue. “Le coup d'envoi de l'année avec le combat d'unification contre James DeGale a été la meilleure façon de commencer, et même si je me suis volé, ce fut une grande soirée pour moi et mon équipe. J'ai appris beaucoup et certainement gagné de nouveaux fans ici et à l'étranger.”
Né en Suède et combats de Las Vegas, la 2008 Olympienne pour la Gambie natale de son père est un champion du monde dans le sens le plus vrai du mot. Jack a été nominé cette année pour la deuxième fois dans sa Suède natale pour l'athlète masculin de l'année au prestigieux Svenska idrottsgalla. Mais peu importe ce qui se passe dans le ring, la plus grande victoire de Jack sera la naissance prochaine de son deuxième enfant en Mars.
“J'ai pu passer beaucoup de temps avec ma famille 2017 et je chéris toujours,” a déclaré Jack. “L'équilibre est essentiel dans ce sport et dans la vie. Avec un autre enfant à venir, Je suis impatient de continuer à suivre mes rêves comme un père, mari et un champion du monde.”
Avec de grands combats et une nouvelle addition à la famille sur le chemin, Jack sait que c'est l'année de capitaliser sur son statut de champion du monde international pour l'amener à de nouveaux sommets, y compris les efforts et les entreprises de bienfaisance qui seront annoncés dans 2018.
“J'ai des racines fortes et je porte mon héritage avec moi chaque fois que j'entrer dans le ring,” a déclaré Jack. “J'ai la responsabilité d'être humble et être le champion du peuple. J'ai visité beaucoup de nouveaux endroits 2017 et il a vraiment élargi ma vision du monde. Je suis prêt à prendre l'année à venir et de faire mon équipe, la famille et les fans fiers à chaque fois que je reçois la chance.”

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – Héritage Fighting Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced the promotion will kick off 2018 avec un 1-2-3 punch in January with a trio of star-studded shows in California, Arizona, and Louisiana.

L'événement principal de LFA 30 will feature the long-awaited clash between southern California kingpins and top LFA welterweights “Curtious” Curtis Millender and Nick “The Phoenix” Barnes. LFA 30 – Millender vs. Barnes takes place Vendredi, 12 janvier at Costa Mesa Hall at OC Fair Grounds in Costa Mesa, Californie.
The following week, LFA heads to Arizona with a fierce interim featherweight title fight in the Valley of the Sun. Dans l'événement principal, former RFA title challenger and BJJ black belt Bobby “The Wolfman” Moffett battles knockout sensation Thanh Le for the LFA interim featherweight title. LFA 31 – Moffett vs. Le takes place Vendredi, January 19th at the Comerica Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona.
LFA caps the month of January with a pair of title fights in southern Louisiana. Dans l'événement principal, former LFA title challenger Brendan “All In” Allen faces top undefeated prospect Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez for the vacant LFA middleweight title. Dans la co-tête d'affiche, red-hot Ryan “Superman” Spann will lock horns with UFC vet Alex “The Spartan” Nicholson for the inaugural LFA light-heavyweight title. LFA 32 – Allen vs. Hernandez takes place Vendredi, 26 janvier à l'hôtel Golden Nugget & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiane.
The entire main card of all three of these events will be televised live and nationwide on AXS TV at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.
“I’m excited to kick off 2018 with three straight weeks of LFA action across the country”, A déclaré Soares. “Curtis Millender and Nick Barnes are coming off big wins in LFA headliners and will meet in the main event of LFA 30 in southern California on 12 janvier. The following week, we head to Arizona with top contenders Bobby Moffett and Thanh Le meeting for the interim featherweight title in the main event LFA 31. We finish the month with two title fights at LFA 32 in southern Louisiana. Brendan Allen faces Anthony Hernandez for the vacant middleweight title in the main event and Ryan Spann will take on Alex Nicholson for the inaugural light-heavyweight title in the co-headliner.”
Mill Ends (13-3) returns home to the building where he fought and won his first seven fights. The Orange County juggernaut is looking to build off a perfect 2017 where he won three fights, including back-to-back LFA headliners. His most recent win came via highlight reel Head Kick KO in the main event of LFA 24. Millender will meet Barnes (12-2) in a long-awaited showdown between two of southern California’s finest. The welterweight stars started their careers in the southern California regional circuit, moved on to Bellator, and will finally meet in the main event of LFA 30. Barnes, like Millender, is coming off an impressive win in an LFA headliner.
L'événement principal de LFA 31 is a fight that casual fans and MMA purists alike are salivating over. It pits a rugged and accomplished BJJ black belt in Moffett (10-2) against one of the most dynamic strikers in all of MMA in Le (7-1) with the LFA interim featherweight title on the line. Sur papier, this is a textbook grappler vs. striker bout at its highest form. Cependant, both men bring so much more to the table than what their respective martial arts backgrounds represent. Moffett, who trains out of The MMA Lab, has shown a willingness to throw down with anyone, while Le trains with BJJ wunderkind and UFC star Ryan Hall in northern Virginia.
LFA will conclude its busy month of January with a pair of title tilts in southern Louisiana. LFA standout and Louisiana native Allen (8-2) will get a second shot at LFA gold after going five rounds with current UFC star Eryk Anders for the inaugural LFA middleweight title in June. Allen quickly rebounded six weeks later with a submission win in the co-main event of LFA 18. He will face another highly-touted undefeated prospect for the title. This time it comes in the form of the northern California destroyer Hernandez (5-0). L'homme connu sous le nom “Fluffy” has finished everyone he has faced inside the first round.
L'événement co-principal de LFA 32 will crown the inaugural LFA light-heavyweight champion. Spann (12-5) is a former Legacy FC title challenger that will look to capture LFA gold in front of his home crowd. “Superman” is riding considerable momentum heading into this fight after dispatching a pair of top contenders in the first round of his last two bouts at LFA 23 and LFA 27. He will face Nicholson (10-4) who has been a man on fire since his four-fight run with the UFC ended in May. The Florida native has been a tour de force since then as he looks to make his way back. In the past two months, “The Spartan” has knocked out three quality opponents in grand total of 3 minutes and 28 secondes.
En Septembre 2016, les responsables FC et l'héritage RFA ont annoncé qu'ils fusionneront pour former la première organisation de développement dans les arts martiaux mixtes (MMA) à partir de Janvier 2017. Héritage FC et RFA ont lancé la carrière de plus 150 les athlètes qui ont atteint le sommet de MMA en participant à l'UFC.

Tri Star Boxing returns for “State Fair Boxing Showdown 2” September 15

Laisser un commentaire
Nashville, TN (Août 30, 2017) – Fight night returns to Nashville when Tri Star Boxing presents “State Fair Boxing Showdown 2” Vendredi, Septembre 15.
The six-fight card is in association with Blue Chair Bay Rum and takes place at the State Fairgrounds Sports Arena, situé à 500 Wedgewood Lane in Nashville. Billets à partir de $25 peuvent être achetés à tristarboxing.com/tickets.
In the six round main event, Nashville based Ghanaian Sena “African Assassin” Agbeko meets Johnson City, TN’s Brad Austin for the Tennessee Light Heavyweight championship. The heavy-handed Agbeko has an excellent 18-1 record avec 17 wins by knockout and looks for a fourth straight victory since his lone setback. Un vétéran de 37 combats, Austin’s faced many tough opponents including Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin, Yunieski Gonzalez, Ismayl Sillah, Isiah Thomas and Edwin Rodriguez among others.
Junior flyweight knockout king Edwin Reyes, 6-2 (5 KO), faces a foe to be announced in the eight round co-feature. Originally from Guatemala and now residing in Nashville, six of Reyes’ last seven bouts have taken place in the Volunteer State.
DeMarcus Rogers and Dedrick Bell will square off in a six rounder for the Tennessee State Welterweight Championship. Chattanooga’s Rogers owns a solid 11-3-1 professional ledger with four victories by KO but will have his hands full with his Memphis based foe. Bell’s deceptive ledger is 18-29-1 (9 KO) but the majority of his defeats came against championship level fighters.
22-year-old middleweight Winfred Harris Jr. de Detroit, MI looks to run his record to 15-0 when he battles Tennessee based Cuban Yolexcy Leiva over six rounds. Sur Juin 23, Harris took a quantum leap in competition and impressively outpointed notoriously tough Lanardo Tyner. Leiva, 5-6 (4 KO), is expected to give Harris all he can handle having previously faced quality foes in Marcus Willis, Frank Galarza, Boyd Melson, Thomas Lamanna and Kanat Islam.
Additional undercard bouts include debuting light heavyweight Maidel Sando versus Justin Brown (0-1), et 140 pounder Eduardo Aguiar fighting for the first time against William Ware (2-5).
"It’s great to come back to Nashville,” said Tri Star Boxing’s Matt Young. “The city’s interest boxing has grown tremendously during the last few years. We’ve got a diverse and talented group of fighters on the card and it’s a great forum for them as well. The State Fair is a major event and we’re expecting a huge crowd on September 15.”

LAS VEGAS (Août. 27, 2017) – Temple de la renommée de la boxe du futur Floyd “Argent” Mayweather a terminé sa carrière historique en beauté Samedi nuit avec une victoire technique convaincante au 10e tour contre la méga-star de l'UFC Conor McGregor dans l'événement principal d'un événement PPV SHOWTIME de quatre combats depuis la T-Mobile Arena de Las Vegas.
Mayweather, 40 ans, se battre pour la première fois en 714 journées, a annoncé après le combat qu'il ne se battra plus jamais, mettant fin à sa carrière de 21 ans avec style en contrôlant un combat d'action qui a ravi le 14,623 fans présents et regardant dans le monde entier. Avec Mayweather s'avançant comme il l'avait promis, l'arbitre Robert Byrd a arrêté le combat des super poids welters à 1:05 du 10e ronde alors que Mayweather a puni McGregor avec une série de coups qui ont étonné son adversaire fatigué.
Avec la victoire, le champion du monde en cinq divisions de Las Vegas devient le premier boxeur à terminer sa carrière à 50-0, éclipsant le record qu'il avait précédemment partagé avec le légendaire Rocky Marciano.
“Je pense que nous avons donné aux fans ce qu'ils voulaient voir,” Mayweather a déclaré au journaliste de SHOWTIME Jim Gray après le combat. “Je leur devais pour le combat de Pacquiao. Je devais aller droit devant et donner un spectacle aux fans. C’est ce que je leur ai donné.”
Les trois juges – Dave Moretti (87-83), Burt Clements (89-82) et Guido Cavalleri (89-81) – avait Mayweather en tête sur les tableaux de bord au moment de l'arrêt. Le buteur non officiel de SHOWTIME, Steve Farhood, avait Mayweather devant par le score de 86-85.
Le premier champion en deux divisions de l'histoire de l'UFC, McGregor, de Dublin, Irlande, a dit qu'il était fatigué alors que le combat entrait dans les dernières étapes. “Il est composé, il n'est pas si rapide, he’s not that powerful, but boy is he composed in there,” the 29-year-old McGregor said. “I thought it was close though and I thought it was a bit of an early stoppage. He was just a lot more composed with his shots. I have to give it to him, that’s what 50 pro fights will do for you.”
Both fighters had their moments in the early rounds. Dans le quatrième tour, Mayweather forced McGregor to back-pedal and continued to force the action.
Au milieu du combat, Farhood had given the first three rounds to the more aggressive McGregor, but then rounds four, five and six to the more accurate Mayweather.
“Our game plan was to take our time, go to him, let him shoot his shots early and then take him out down the stretch,” Mayweather said. “We know in MMA he fights for 25 procès-verbal. Après 25 procès-verbal, he started to slow down. I guaranteed to everybody that this wouldn’t go the distance.
“Our game plan was to go straight ahead. I said numerous times that I wouldn’t back down and that’s what I did.”
McGregor said he would consider boxing again, and would also return to fight in the UFC. “I’ve been strangled on live TV and came back,” il dit. “When you’re in here in the squared circle, everything is different. Let the man put me down, that’s fatigue, that’s not damage.
“Where was the final two rounds? Let me walk back to my corner and compose myself.”
Mayweather was lethally accurate in the final round, atterrissage 20 de 26 power punches before the referee stopped the fight. McGregor had a 51-40 advantage in punches landed over the first five rounds but was out-landed 130 à 60 in rounds six through 10 as Mayweather put an exclamation point on the final fight of his career.
“Rocky Marciano is a legend and I look forward to going into the Hall of Fame one day,” Saïd Mayweather. “This was my last fight ce soir. Pour sûr. Ce soir was my last fight. Ce soir I chose the right dance partner to dance with. Conor, you are a hell of a champion.”
En cas de co-principal, invaincu étoile montante Gervonta “Réservoir” Davis defeated unbeaten challenger Francisco Fonseca par l'intermédiaire d'une controverse KO huitième ronde 39 secondes dans la ronde.
Les 22 ans Davis (19-0, 18 KOs) a atterri une série de coups propres avant un coup apparent à l'arrière de la tête vers le bas envoyé Fonseca. Arbitre Russell Mora a donné le 10 comte permettant Davis de gagner son 18e victoire en arrêt 19 combats professionnels. Le combat était initialement prévu pour être Davis’ deuxième défense de son titre de Champion poids léger junior du monde IBF, mais Davis n'a pas réussi à faire le poids vendredi, provenant de deux livres de plus que la limite de 130 livres qui Fonseca (19-1-1, 13 KOs) pesé dans au.
“J'ai jeté le coup comme il a mis sa tête vers le bas,” a déclaré Davis. “Je vais certainement l'arrêter finalement. Il était en difficulté avant le dernier coup.”
Davis a continué, “Je vais rester à 130 livres et essayer d'obtenir mon dos de titre. Je veux encore unifier la division des poids légers juniors.”
Fonseca a dit qu'il a été envoyé à la toile avec un coup illégal.
“vu Tout le monde que quand je descendais, il m'a frappé deux fois derrière,” Fonseca a déclaré. “C'est un coup qui est pas légal. Il était ici à Las Vegas, Il avait donc la foule va lui, et je veux juste un match revanche. Il ne m'a jamais fait mal à cet échange. Même si il est entré au 160 livres aujourd'hui, il n'a pas frappé aussi fort qu'ils disent qu'il frappe.”
Ancien champion des super-moyens Badou Jack est devenu un champion du monde de la division avec une victoire sur TKO Nathan astucieuse pour capturer la lumière WBA World Heavyweight Championship.
Le basée à Las Vegas, D'origine suédoise Jack (21-1-3, 13 KOs) surclassée Astucieusement (30-4, 16 KOs) dans un combat à sens unique qui a été arrêté par l'arbitre Tony Weeks avec 12 secondes restantes dans le cinquième tour. Il a été le premier combat pour Jack depuis son contre 168 livres à 175 livres.
Jack had recorded majority draws in each of his past two fights against James DeGale of England and Canada’s Lucian Bute.
“Il est un rêve devenu réalité,” said the 33-year-old Jack. “I’ve learned that you can’t leave it in the hands of the judges.”
“Jack was very strong,” Saïd Astucieusement. “He caught me and broke my nose in the third round. It was a downward spiral from there. I was wounded and protecting myself. It’s horrible but part of the sport.”
Jim Gray asked Jack who he would like to fight next, Andre Ward or Adonis Stevenson? “I think Adonis Stevenson, passons à autre chose. I’ll go to Canada. I’ll go anywhere.”
“I got a little excited at times but I barely got hit,” Jack said. “My boxing IQ was the difference in this fight. Everybody doubting me motivated me. Mon entraîneur et mon équipe a fait un excellent travail pour me rendre à ce point.”
L'émission de télévision à la carte a commencé avec invaincue Andrew Tabiti et ancien champion du monde Steve Cunningham réunion dans un cruiserweight 10 rounds bataille. Tabiti (16-0, 13 KOs) contrôle l'action contre le Cunningham âgé de 41 ans (29-9-1, 13 KOs) sur son chemin à une décision unanime marqué 97-93 deux fois et 100-90.
Avec Floyd Mayweather Sr. travaillant dans son coin, les 27 ans Tabiti mis tôt le tempo et le rythme pour régler toute la lutte. “Je ne faisais que lui donnant des coups et faire en sorte que je suis resté intelligent,” Tabiti dit. “Il est un vétéran si je devais rester composé. Je voulais montrer que je pouvais boîte. Ce fut une étape pour moi et je me sentais à l'aise là-dedans.”
Originaire de Chicago qui vit et trains à Las Vegas, Tabiti débarqué 31 pour cent de ses jabs (70 de 229) et 49 pour cent de ses coups de puissance comparativement à seulement 27 pour cent pour Cunningham. Avec la victoire, Tabiti conserve le titre NABF cruiserweight et a remporté le championnat Cruiserweight USBA.
“He had a decent jab but he wasn’t busy enough,” Tabiti added. “I just didn’t want to make mistakes. If you start too fast against a veteran you’re liable to get caught by him.”
Cunningham wasn’t impressed with Tabiti. “I don’t think Andrew Tabiti is a championship level fighter,” il dit. “Je pensais que je gagné le combat. I didn’t think I saw anything special from him.”

LAS VEGAS (Août 26, 2017) – Welterweight Yordenis Ugas (20-3, 9 KOs) took home a unanimous decision victory over Thomas Dulorme (24-3, 16 KOs) despite being knocked down in Mayweather vs. McGregor preliminary action presented by Mayweather Promotions on FOX and FOX Deportes Saturday night from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Both men looked to establish their jab in round one but in round two Ugas landed a big uppercut that stunned Dulorme and forced him to take a knee. Dulorme rose to his feet and tried to fire back but was hit with a right hand that put him down for the second time in the round.
“Ce était un grand combat,” said Ugas. “I knew that Dulorme had a great camp preparing for Shawn Porter so when I knocked him down I figured he would get up. I only had nine days to prepare for this fight so I had to be smart and not waste anything.”
“Ce était un bon combat,” Saïd Dulorme. “Ce fut un combat très difficile. I came to fight and I took him seriously. I kept working. It was up and down but I kept working.
The bout was defined by good back and forth action with both men having their moments in control. Dulorme was committed to attacking the body to slow Ugas but was given a warning for low blows in the fifth round. Dulorme continued to test the body however and strayed too low early in the seventh round, forçant arbitre Vic Drakulich de déduire un point.
La déduction semblait allumer le feu d'un sous Dulorme qui a poussé en avant et a commencé à percer la défense de Ugas. Un uppercut abasourdi temporairement à mi-chemin Ugas à travers le cycle et Dulorme suivi peu après avec un crochet gauche qui a mis Ugas sur la toile.
“Quand je me suis renversé, je savais que je devais me lever et le cœur du spectacle et les tripes,” said Ugas. “C'était la seule façon de le faire.”
L'élan de la lutte a continué à balancer la position dans le dernier tour quand Dulorme livré à nouveau un coup bas qui a forcé l'arbitre à déduire un point tôt dans le cadre. Les deux hommes se pressaient pour les dernières minutes de la lutte qui cherchent à marquer un coup décisif, mais après 10 arrondit le combat a été laissé aux juges.
“Je pensais que l'arbitre a perdu le combat pour moi,” Saïd Dulorme. “Je ne suis pas d'accord avec lui. Je ne pensais pas que je jetais des coups bas. Je pensais que c'était propre. Je pensais qu'il était fatigué en fin de combat alors j'ai essayé d'augmenter la pression. Mais il était difficile parce que l'arbitre ne m'a pas laissé travailler à l'intérieur comme je voulais.”
“Je me suis un peu fatigué à la fin et aurait dû fermer le spectacle,” said Ugas. “Mais cela se produit avec des combats à court préavis. Je dois simplement continuer de se améliorer.”
Les trois juges ont vu le combat en faveur des Ugas par des dizaines de 94-91 et 93-92 deux fois.
“Je vais retourner dans le camp et continuer à apprendre,” Saïd Dulorme. “Je ne suis pas heureux, mais je vais continuer à apprendre. Je suis descendu de la parole aujourd'hui et continué à me battre et je vais continuer à le faire dans ma carrière.”
Le combat d'ouverture de la scie à télédiffusion Juan Heraldez (13-0, 8 KOs) boîte de son chemin à une décision unanime Image de balise Jose Miguel Borrego (12-1, 11 KOs) dans leur combat welters 10 rounds.
“Je suis très préparé et je profitais de cette occasion,” Ledit Heraldez. “J'ai exécuté mon plan et je suis sorti avec une nette victoire. Autre que le knockdown, Je pensais que je lui outboxed tous les tour. “La Commission paritaire de recours était vraiment la clé ce soir. Je dictait tout hors de la Commission paritaire de recours et a essayé d'utiliser mes angles, mon jeu de jambes et mon mouvement. Je l'ai fait ce que je voulais faire.”
Heraldez contrôle l'anneau pour une grande partie de la lutte avec son jab et de mouvement à l'extérieur, tandis que Borrego semblait concentré sur la prestation des coups de puissance et un knock-out. Heraldez contrôlé le rythme dans les premiers tours, atterrissage des combinaisons de notation avant dardant de la route et d'éviter le feu de retour de Borrego.
“Heraldez a couru toute la lutte,” Ledit Borrego. “I’m happy that the fans booed the decision because they know he ran. I came to entertain the fans and that’s what I did.”
The 19-year-old Borrego was content to cover up and duck low while trying to navigate through Heraldez’s jab, but was unable to land enough left hooks to win early rounds in the fight. He had his first moment at the very end of the sixth when a looping left hook connected clean with Heraldez and appeared to stun him right before the bell ended the round.
Borrego continued to attack aggressively as he chased Heraldez with big power punches. In round nine Borrego connected cleanly with a left hook that put Heraldez on the mat midway through the round.
“I let myself get distracted and that’s why I got knocked down,” Ledit Heraldez. I got a little ahead of myself. I’m the only person who can stop myself.
Despite Borrego’s continued aggression, Heraldez was able to hold on and survive the round without much further damage.
“I have to cut the ring off better,” Ledit Borrego. “I also need to let my hands go more and throw three or four punch combinations instead of just one or two at a time.”
The final round saw Heraldez return to using his movement as he was able to avoid the charging Borrego for the last three minutes. Après 10 tours, all three judges scored the bout in favor of Heraldez by scores of 96-93 et 97-92 deux fois.
“It feels great to be on this stage and it’s moments like these where I can go out and compete and I can prove everyone right who gave me this chance,” Ledit Heraldez. “This was a prospect fight and now I’m on to bigger and better things. I’m ready to take the next step.”

Voici ce que les combattants avaient à dire Jeudi from the David Copperfield Theater at MGM Grand:
GERVONTA DAVIS
“Samedi night is going to be a great performance from me. I’m ready to take over this sport after Floyd passes me the torch.
“J'ai eu un super camp. I hope Fonseca’s camp was great because we have to put on a great performance for the fans. I want the fans to say that there is a new star in this sport.
“I feel like my career is very similar to Floyd’s so far. We started out at the same weight and we each got our first belt at 130-pounds. I just want to live up to what he’s accomplished and accomplish even more. I believe that I have the skills and the ability to be the big star in this sport.
“I just try to stay grounded because I know what I want to do in this sport. Because I have the belief in myself it’s easy for me to stay focused. I also think I have the best team in this sport and they help me every step of the way.
“Fonseca is a very good fighter. He’s very fast and sharp. He’s got a long reach but I know that he hasn’t fought anyone that has the skills that I have. Je ne suis pas lui donnant. I’m training really hard for this.
“I was in the position he’s in now. I know how him and his team are feeling. I know what I have to do to be victorious. I’m going to come out sharp and hopefully pick up even more fans than I have now.
“I want to unify this division and then move up in weight and keep adding titles. If I can’t get a unification bout next, then I’m going to move up for new challenges.
“This is a very important night for me. It’s important to me that I put on a great show. I want everyone to say that ‘there’s a new star in town.'”
FRANCISCO FONSECA
“The huge audience won’t intimidate me. I’ve dreamt my whole life to be in an event of this magnitude.
“I take this fight as a big responsibility. My dream has always been to fight in an event of this magnitude. My goal is to be a champion and come out of this with a belt on my waist.
“The preparation has been long. I’ve had five months of training in intense conditions. I feel strong mentally. Sur Août 26, I aim to reach my goal as a champion for Costa Rica.
“This is an opportunity to start writing my legacy. Gervonta is tough because he is a champion, but I have the hunger and motivation to win and be a champion.
“All camps are different but in this one I had fivemonths to prepare. We were in Puerto Rico for the training and everything was smooth. I feel strong heading into this fight.
“We both have the pressure to win. I come to do my job. I’ve been keeping focused on the fight and the combat. He hasn’t experience an opponent with as much hunger as I have. It’s going to be a great fight and very competitive. He is the champion and I want to be the champion.”
Nathan astucieuse
“I’m enjoying the experience of being in Las Vegas. I love fighting in this city. I’m looking forward to the fight and I’m going to embrace this moment.
“En fin de compte, all that matters is the fight. I’m coming to win and that’s my sole focus. The fight is the pinnacle moment and I’m saving all my energy for that.
“I’ve persisted throughout my career. Any setbacks I just got right back to training and stayed consistent. If you keep working hard then the opportunities will arrive. I stayed patient and allowed the opportunities to come.
“I have no regrets in my career. I like taking risks in this sport. I fought Kovalev when I was 26, I fought Bellew at cruiserweight, I fought Fonfara in Chicago, Braehmer in Germany and now I’m fighting Badou Jack, who’s on the rise. I love the big fights.
“It’s a high-risk high reward fight. The winner of this is in line for Andre Ward and the super WBA title. This is a solid world title fight between two guys who want to be at the top of the division.”
BADOU JACK
“I’ve got great stamina in there. I’m never going to get tired. I train hard for this. Every punch in a fight is important. We have a great game plan and we’re going to execute it.
“Je veux me battre le meilleur. I have the skills to beat anyone. If they say I can’t beat someone, that’s the fight I want the most.
“I’m not overlooking Nathan Cleverly. I’m just getting comfortable at this weight and I’m going to be focused on performing on fight night. If all goes well though, I could see myself finishing my career at cruiserweight someday.
“I’ve been fighting big, strong guys since Cleverly was a teenager. Well see who is the stronger man when we’re in the ring Samedi.
“I feel better at this weight than at super middleweight. Je suis impatient de ce combat. There happens to be a lot of UK fighters at my weight and I’ve enjoyed experiencing a little bit of the UK fans.”
ANDREW Tabiti
“I began boxing because I was being bullied so my stepfather put me in the ring and I would get beat up every day. I learned a lot from those experiences. I just kept coming back every day and I never gave up. Now I’m here.
“This sport is about proving people wrong. People said Floyd wouldn’t beat a lot of guys in his career, I’m not saying I’m Floyd, but this is a sport where you have to prove yourself. Nous verrons Samedi.
“Being in the gym with Floyd gives me the drive to keep working. Seeing how hard he works, it shows me what I want to be.
“I have to use my legs and keep boxing. I need to use my speed in there. It’s different watching me on TV than actually being in there with me. I could see it going the distance but if I catch him, Je vais l'achever.
“One of my favorite fighters growing up was James Toney. That’s where I picked up some of my style. He used to hit combos off the shoulder roll and that’s what I like to do.
“This is a great undercard with Gervonta Davis and Badou Jack. I’m here trying to make a name for myself in the cruiserweight division and become a face of this weight class.”
Steve Cunningham
“I actually commentated on one of Tabiti’s fights about a year and a half ago. He’s a good up-and-coming fighter. He emulates Floyd and he’s trained by Floyd’s dad so that’s expected. I think I’m going to overwhelm him mentally and physically.
“I don’t think Tabiti is at the top level yet. He has flaws and strengths but at the end of the day, he has a fight Samedi. He’s in there with a two-time world champion so he’s going to have to fight Samedi.
“Every fight on this level is a huge fight. I’ve been in the ring with some monsters. Some of the best cruiserweights and heavyweights in the world. I don’t think that I look 41 but you’ll have to let me know Samedi.
“I think this is what Tabiti has been waiting for. I will be nice and calm and be right in his face and right in his chest.
“When these guys hang around Floyd they want to be like him and they’ve been around these events, so I don’t think the atmosphere will affect him. But once we’re in the ring, it’s just me and him.”
THOMAS DULORME
“I’m so happy to have this big fight Samedi nuit. My team has done a great job to get me to this position.
“Having an opponent change is part of boxing. I was already training very hard for Shawn Porter so when the opponent changed, nothing changed in camp. I continued to work hard and Samedi night I will show why I worked so hard.
“I want all of my Puerto Ricans to tune-in Samedi night because I’m going out there to steal the show and put on the fight of the night.
“I’m going to bring an exciting fight for the fans and prove that I am a world championship level fighter. I fight for the fans and I can’t wait to get in there and perform.”
YORDENIS UGAS
“Je me sens bien. Je suis prêt pour Samedi and I’m excited to put on a great fight. I feel very blessed to be here and be a part of such a historic event.
“To my Cuban fans, I’m so proud to be representing my country here in Las Vegas and Samedi night it’s going to be a great fight.
“It is an honor to step in to face Dulorme. Il est un combattant formidable. I’m here and I feel a blessed and happy to have been called. I won’t let my fans down.”
JUAN HERALDEZ
“My weight is great right now. I feel comfortable and hydrated. Everything has gone perfectly. I’m looking to make a mark in the junior welterweight division. Terrence Crawford is the dream fight and I just want to keep working up to that level.
“My career has progressed well and I think this fight is going to make me a contender. From here I just want to keep improving and getting in there with tougher opponents.
“I’ve been training out in Las Vegas since 1998 but the last two years in the Mayweather Boxing Club has been amazing. Everyone in the gym is so motivated right now. We all push each other by just working harder and trying to match each other.
“I didn’t watch much of Borrego in the beginning of camp, but I saw his record so I knew I had to train as hard as I ever have. But when I watched him I thought he was kind of limited. I think I have advantages and I think I’m the better all-around fighter.”
JOSE MIGUEL BORREGO
“I feel excited and motivated. Training has been tough but we’re sure we’re ready for Samedi.
“The motivation for this kind of card has been tremendous. I can’t wait to put on a show for all the Mexican fans who tune-in.
“I’m so proud to be the only Mexican on this card. We’re going to give it our all. We’re ready for this fight. I’m the new breed of Mexican fighters and I’m going to show it to the world.”
KEVIN NEWMAN
“I’ve had a great camp. Je suis en pleine forme. I was really pushed in sparring working with Chris Eubank Jr. and some other guys. I’ve been up running at 5 a.m. four to five miles every day. Je suis prêt.
“I’ve improved a lot mentally. I’ve focused in more. Listening is key for me. I feel like I’m at a stage where I’m listening to my corner and we’re bonding and meshing together great.
“I just have to continue to stay focus and work hard. If I’m dedicated and disciplined to my craft, then everything else will fall into place.
“Je suis heureux d'être ici. I’m in a very blessed position. I can’t wait to go out there and put on a dominant performance. I plan on starting out strong and taking advantage of everything that I can.
“I just take my time and relax in the ring. I’m going to make my opponent fight my pace. He usually starts pretty quick but then he starts to fade. I’m going to dictate the pace from round and not let him get comfortable.”

LAS VEGAS (Août 23, 2017) – Fight week for the biggest event in combat sports history continued Wednesday as Floyd Mayweather et Conor McGregor squared off at the final press conference ahead of the SHOWTIME PPV matchup this Samedi, Août. 26 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The fighters spoke to hundreds of media from all around the world as the anticipation continues to grow for this once-in-a-lifetime event that combines the worlds of boxing and MMA for one spectacular fight.
Here is what the participants had to say Wednesday from KA Theatre at MGM Grand:
Floyd Mayweather
“I’ve been here so many times. I know what it takes for a fight of this magnitude. I’m thankful to everyone who has covered this event. Everyone can talk about different storylines, but it comes down to two fighters. Just me and the guy I’m competing against.
“I had a tremendous training camp. We had a lot of different guys who gave me different looks. To compete in a combat sport, you have to be a fighter at the end of the day. To be in this sport for 21 ans, I had to take it extremely seriously, just like I did for this bout.
“Everyone knows I can fight. I can give it and I can take. But to get to 49-0, it’s obvious that I’m not receiving it, I’m giving it a lot more often.
“Conor McGregor is a hell of a fighter. He’s a tough competitor. It’s going to be blood sweat and tears Samedi nuit. That’s what we want to give people all around the world. Now it comes down to the two of us going out there and displaying our skills.
“Le meilleur combat le meilleur. He’s the best at what he does, I’m the best at what I do. We can both do a lot of talking, but it comes down to the skills. We’re going to compete and give you what you want to see.
“Après 21 years I’ve been hit with everything and I’m still right here. One thing you must know about combat sports, if you give it, you must be able to take it. Last time I checked, no one is walking me down. It’s all about my IQ and patience in the ring.
“We’re both real fighters. We’re two huge names in combat sports. He’s made a mark the last few years and I’ve made a mark for 21 ans. Now it’s time to go do what we do best and fight.
“I go out there and do what I do. I’ve been here before and fought many different fighters with different styles. There have been plenty of guys who talked a lot of trash, but when it’s all said and done, I came out victorious.
“We prepare for this every day at the Mayweather Boxing Club. We’re built for this stage. We have a lot of young fighters and guys with more experience going toe-to-toe every day. We’re always talking trash to each other and staying in each other’s ear.
“This is great for the city of Las Vegas. It’s all about giving back and I’m giving back to my home of Las Vegas. This city has welcomed me with open arms from day one. We’re doing great numbers. It’s the biggest fight in history. It’s not just a fight, it’s an event. It’s all about breaking my own records.
“I’ve said it’s not going the distance and you can mark my words. I know he’s going to come out and switch and go back and forth with stances. It’s my job to execute my game plan and adjust if I have to.”
CONOR MCGREGOR
“We’re here now. It’s a couple days out. We’ve had a lot of crazy events but this is nice and business-like. I’m very happy with how camp has gone. Everything has been absolutely amazing. I have to shout out my team and everyone who’s been involved with camp. We’re prepared for 12 rounds of nonstop pace. I will go forward and put the pressure on and break this old man.
“He made a big error agreeing to the eight ounce gloves. I don’t see him lasting two rounds. I think I could end him in one round if I want. He messed up. I’m very happy with these gloves. I don’t care where your hands are, I’m going to break through whatever is in front of me.
“I really appreciate the support from everyone back home and all over the world, it’s been very humbling and motivating. That’s why I’ve put in such hard work for this fight. I’m going to go out and perform. I’m going to out box this man at his own game. That’s how much of a different level I’m on.
“When it’s all said and done I’m going to feel a little bit sad. You should have kept your mouth shut and left me over where I was. This man is not on my level. He’s not a quarter of the man I am. Everyone is going to eat their words Samedi.
“He’s a beaten man. He will not be able to take the ferociousness that I come with. Je suis très confiant. I have more skills in many areas and as a true martial artist, I can adapt to any situation.
“I’ve never missed weight in my life and it won’t be happening this time. I’ve had my nutritionist practically living with me throughout camp. We are ready and feel great at the weight right now. The weight has been taken seriously and Floyd can keep wishing that I’ll miss weight.
“I’ve made it through shin bones that bounced off my cheekbone. That’s the game I come from. They can say what they want, but I’ve come through a lot tougher than what any of these fighters he’s faced have gone through.”
LEONARD Ellerbe, PDG de Promotions Mayweather
“Mayweather vs McGregor has captured the imagination of sports fans across the world. It’s a historic event demanded by the fans and put on for the fans.
“The fighters will put their talents on display in a fight that people did not think was possible. After it’s done, people will talk about this fight for years to come.
“We’re making our event available on every possible platform. Fans across the world will have access to this great fight from anywhere.
“Boxing is at an all-time high because of some of the great matchups that have been made, and SHOWTIME has been at the forefront of that. SHOWTIME is the face of boxing and we’re proud to be partnered with them.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Vice-président exécutif & Directeur Général, Sports Showtime
“SHOWTIME PPV is the home of big events and we’ve teamed up with MGM and Mayweather Promotions to bring fans the most exciting and memorable fights in sports history. We have brought record breaking event after record breaking event; These are events that the world watches and makes history. No event is bigger than this one. Two of the biggest personalities in sports meeting in a once in a lifetime event.

That’s a broader distribution than virtually any other event in combat sports history. We are well on our way to being a record-setting event in many categories.”
RICHARD STORM, Président des Sports et Loisirs, MGM Resorts International
“Fight week has finally arrived and we are thrilled that it will be held at T-Mobile Arena, home of the biggest events in the sports and entertainment industry. In a little over a year, T-Mobile Arena has become an industry leader and home to some of the world’s greatest athletes and entertainers.
“Las Vegas and T-Mobile Arena will be the center of the sports universe for this great spectacle. We look forward to once again showing the world that we are the leader in entertainment and we can’t wait to see you Samedi nuit.”

Fighters were greeted by fans at the Toshiba Plaza before making brief remarks onstage. Voici ce que les combattants avaient à dire mardi:
Floyd Mayweather
“When there’s a fight of this magnitude, it’s all about keeping composure and that’s what I do. I go out there and do my job and let the rest take care of itself. C'est énorme, the numbers that we’ve been hearing about, they’ve been crazy.
“McGregor is a tough competitor. He’s undefeated standing up. He’s never lost when striking. I know that I’m in for a tough fight. But there is one thing I do know, this fight is not going the distance. Peu importe ce qu'on dit, it’s not going the distance.
“This is work. This is my job. My job is to fight and compete against the best guys. You know when your body has had enough and this is it for me. I gave my word already about this being my last fight. Once I gave my word to my children, and once I gave my word to Al, I knew this was it. This is a great event. What better way to go out than with a bang?
“I just go out there and fight. I don’t worry about my record. I’ve been blessed with hands and fast feet and a tremendous mind. It’ll all be on display Samedi nuit.
“A lot of fighters now only want the money. They don’t want to put in the hard work early in their careers. I took the long route and I’ve been here for a while. I just love the sport and competing against the best guys.
“It’s all about the future and building stars. Mayweather Promotions is the future of sports and entertainment. It’ll be a great display this week.
“I’m doing this for myself and my family but I want to give everyone a great show. Everyone deserves a good show. The Pacquiao fight wasn’t exciting enough. That was on Pacquiao, but I have to give the fans a great show this time.”
CONOR MCGREGOR
“Floyd can talk about whatever he wants to talk about. He can talk any kind of trash he wants, because he’s talking to the new God of boxing.
“I like the move from five to three minute rounds. I feel like I’ve built a solid engine that is going to last me through the rest of my career and help me in the fight. We’ve put in the work. I’ve fought many 12-rounders.
“The Irish are rolling in and whenever we roll in, we take over. It was amazing to see all the Irish fans out today. It’s going to be a great spectacle.
“If people are overlooking my size, power and youth, they shouldn’t be. I’m very confident in those attributes. I believe I’ll knock him out early.
“If you look at the way I fight, I am a fast starter. I come out and bang people right away. With eight ounce gloves, I don’t see him lasting more than one or two rounds.
“I am my own man and I feel I am superior to Floyd. When it comes to Samedi nuit, he will not be prepared for me.
“I cannot wait to get in the Samedi night and perform in front of my fans and take my place at the top of this sport.”
FRANCISCO FONSECA
“We are ready for anything Gervonta Davis will bring. We had a great training camp and I’m in optimal condition to go win that title.
“I am ready and excited to be here in Las Vegas for this great challenge. It’s amazing to have a chance to fight for a world title.
“It’s always been my dream to fight here in Las Vegas. I’m going to start out strong from the first round. If a knockout comes, ça arrive, but what I do know is, is that I’m going to leave the ring with that world title Samedi nuit.”
Nathan astucieuse
“I just love this place. This is my favorite city on the planet. To fight here in Las Vegas and defend my world title is great. Badou is a top fighter and it’s going to be a tough fight. He’s fighting an established light heavyweight like myself. I’m a two-time champion of the world and he’s going to find out what I’m about.
“I just told him welcome to the division. He’s going to find out the hard way. I’m going to give him a rude introduction to the division and show him how a world champion does it.
“This is an interesting fight with two world class fighters. I’m going to leave here with the victory Samedi nuit.
“It’s already a big fight with Badou Jack, but to be part of this event, it’s truly historic. It’s a special feeling.”
BADOU JACK
“Right now I’m just excited to be here in front of the fans. I can’t wait to put on a showSamedi nuit. I’m going to knock Nathan Cleverly out.
“This is the best camp I’ve had of my career. I have an amazing team and we’ve worked well together. I’m ready to get in the ring.
“This is the biggest stage you can be on. All my my teammates have been training hard and the whole Mayweather Promotions stable is ready to fight.”
ANDREW Tabiti
“I’m very excited and I’m thankful to everyone that came out here today. This is a great chance for me to shine.
“It’s wonderful to share this card with my Mayweather Promotions stable. We work hard and we’re really up and training hard for this opportunity.
“Steve Cunningham has done a great job in his career, but it’s time for a new face of the American cruiserweights. I’m getting the victory, that’s all there is.”
Steve Cunningham
“I feel a lot younger than my age. I feel great and I’m ready to rock. I do my talking in the ring and I can’t wait to get in there.
“It’s great to be on this stage. It’s my first time on a pay-per-view and it’s amazing. This is a huge fight and it’s a blessing to be there.
“I don’t make predictions but I come to fight and I come to win. You have a young fighter coming to take me down but I’m going to show him what I know.”
