LOS ANGELES (November 3, 2021) - Ubesejret femdobbelt verdensmester og boksningens hotteste attraktionGervonta "Tank" Davis vil forsvare sit WBA letvægtsmesterskab mod hårdtslåendeIsaac "Pitbull" Cruz søndag, December 5 live på SHOWTIME PPV fra STAPLES Center i Los Angeles i en Premier Boxing Champions-begivenhed.

Billetter til live event, som promoveres af Mayweather Promotions, GTD-kampagner og TGB-kampagner, er til salg nu, og kan købes påAXS.com.
Davis' tredje lige pay-per-view hovedattraktion vil se ham kæmpe mod den hårdføre Cruz, der med rette har fået tilnavnet "Pitbull" i løbet af sin professionelle karriere.
"Dette bliver en fantastisk kamp på SHOWTIME PPV,” sagde Leonard Ellerbe, CEO for Mayweather Promotions. “Isaac Cruz var klar til denne store mulighed, og jeg forventer, at han kommer klar til at levere sit livs kamp. Men, Gervonta Davis er et generationstalent, der kun bliver bedre. Denne kamp vil ende på spektakulær vis den 5. december.”
“Kudos til Isaac Cruz for at træde ind som erstatningsmodstander i et højtryk, pay-per-view-kamp mod en af de klareste stjerner inden for boksning i Gervonta Davis,sagde Tom Brown, Formand for TGB Promotions. "Cruz præsenterer en anden, og nogle vil hævde en sværere udfordring til Tank Davis. Cruz vil ikke trække sig tilbage, og han vil bringe kampen til Davis fra åbningsklokken. Vi har alle set Gervontas blanding af fremragende bokseevner og eksplosiv kraft, og vi ved, hvad han er i stand til. Det vil være den uimodståelige kraft versus den ubevægelige genstand, hvilket betyder fyrværkeri på STAPLES Center og på SHOWTIME PPV søndag, 5. december.''
Davis (25-0, 24 KOS), stjerne i Mayweather Promotions-stalden, tilføjede endnu en præstation fyldt med højdepunkter i juni, da han stoppede tidligere ubesejrede Mario Barrios for at erobre en titel på 140 pund og blive verdensmester i tre divisioner. Baltimore-indfødte erobrede sit letvægtsmesterskab med en 12th-runde knockout af den tidligere mester Yuriorkis Gamboa i december 2019.
“Jeg respekterer Isaac Cruz for at gå op og tage kampen, men alle ved hvad jeg laver,"Sagde Davis. "Jeg kommer ind på udkig efter knockouten, og det er præcis, hvad jeg vil gøre i denne kamp. Jeg er tilbage i Los Angeles, hvor stjernerne skinner, og jeg har tænkt mig at tænde op mod Isaac Cruz i STAPLES Center den 5. december.''
Den 23-årige Cruz (22-1-1, 15 KOS) vil forsøge at hærde Davis og få ham til at arbejde overarbejde, hvis han ønsker at komme afsted med sejren. En indfødt i Mexico City, Cruz skød op i letvægtsranglisten 2020, annoncerede sin tilstedeværelse med en elektrificerende knockout i første runde over veteranen Diego Magdaleno i september. Cruz fulgte det op 2021 ved at vinde en enstemmig afgørelse over tidligere ubesejrede Matías Romero i marts, og senest besejrede den tidligere mester Francisco Vargas ved afgørelse i juni. Siden han lavede sin U.S. debut i december 2019, den 23-årige er gået ubesejret i sine næste fire ringoptrædener, optrådte på SHOWTIME tre gange ud over at have slået Magdaleno på Gervonta Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz SHOWTIME PPV underkort.
"Først vil jeg gerne takke Gervonta Davis og hans team for denne mulighed - en mulighed jeg ikke vil lade gå forbi mig," sagde Cruz. "Hvis Gud vil, bliver jeg verdensmester i december 5. Denne kamp er en meget stor motivation for mig som professionel og som et personligt mål. Jeg er sikker efter december 5 alle i boksning vil kende navnet Isaac 'Pitbull' Cruz.''

GERVONTA DAVIS VS. ROLANDO ROMERO LOS ANGELES PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES AND PHOTOS
Ubesejret letvægtsprospekt Jamaine "The Technician" Ortiz Ikke længere bedst bevaret hemmelig efter Tyson-Jones, Jr. PPV show ydeevne
WORCESTER, Masse. (December 14, 2020) – Prior to his sensational performance on the recent Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-view event, undefeated lightweight prospectJamaine “Teknikeren” Ortiz was boxing’s best kept secret. No more, selv, as Ortiz firmly established himself as a rising star in front of countless fans among the 1.6 million PPV buys.
Ortiz flew from Boston to Los Angeles on Thanksgiving. He was driven to his hotel, where he immediately saw Jones, checked his weight, and walked to Staples Center. “I was comfortable from the start,” said the young fighter who was fighting for the first time as a professional outside of New England. “I was there to get the job done. I was on a mission. I walk to see the Staples Center and that was cool. I later took my run around the Staples Center and there were a lot of statues. It was beautiful. It was cool seeing the Lakers locker-room.”
The 24-year-old Ortiz (14-0, 8 KOS), the reigning World Boxing Youth World champion, slået udSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KOS) with a bruising body attack, hurting his opponent in the sixth round, and closing the show in spectacular fashion in the seventh for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (US) Silver lightweight title. Segawa had never been stopped before as a professional.
Ortiz displayed his overall arsenal: stiff jab, lightning quick hands and feet, switching back and forth effortlessly from orthodox to southpaw stances, punishing hooks up and down, and the most lethal body shots seen from a New Englander since“Irish” Micky Ward.
“I was calm and cool before the fight,” Ortiz added. “I like to go into a fight, mentalt, like it was a sparring session and I always do good. I started out in an orthodox stance, established my jab and used it a lot. I think I should have used it more and could have beaten him with it. I listened to my coach (Rocky Gonzalez) and he told me when to switch. Body punching is the No. 1 thing with Rocky. I may not have shown it nearly as much in other fights, but he drills that into me all the time. In the sixth round, he told me to go more to the body, not looking to catch him, and in the seventh I really hurt him to the body.
“Segawa was definitely tough. He had beaten a lot of guys, including a few he upset. Every fight is a stepping-stone and I’m my worst critic. I felt that I could have knocked him out in the second round, but I didn’t want to go off the game plan
Ortiz set-up Segawa from the opening bell, brød ham ned, and finished the show in grand style as Seqawa was hurt and trapped on the ropes, drawing kudos from highly respected people in the industry such as“Sugar” Ray Leonard, Teddy Atlas, and others. Ortiz’ fanbase grew exponentially as boxing fans rushed to sign up to follow Jamaine during and after his breakout fight.
“Once people saw me perform and my style,” Ortiz continued, “they liked me. I could have shown more and thrown more combinations. I really needed to fight in front of the world. I got 5,500 new Instagram flowers that night. I guess, I’m no longer the best kept secret in boxing.”
“Our main goal is to win a world title,” Gonzalez commented. “This was fun and a great opportunity, but the motivation to be world champion is stronger. He dealt with this fight as just another fight, and he followed our game plan.
“His body shots set up the ending. I’m always telling him about Micky Ward’s body shots. You know, boxing is a dance, a salsa. Boxers need to dance; I don’t think they should just be orthodox. They all need to fight the other way and when Jamaine switched stances in the third, he never let up. I’ve trained him hard. I’m always on him and what better way to shut me up than ending it like he did on pay per view? It was a drop the microphone moment!"
Ortiz is promoted byJimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports) and advised byRichard Shappy ogEddie Imondi.
Because of the uncertainty in boxing due to the pandemic, Ortiz’ 2021 schedule is unknown, but he isn’t boxing’s best kept secret anymore, “The Technician” is a bonafide rising star.
