LOS ANGELES (Novembre 5, 2018) – WBC World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder held a jam-packed media day Monday in Los Angeles where he discussed his blockbuster matchup against lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury che si terrà Sabato, Dicembre 1 su SHOWTIME PPV® da STAPLES Center di Los Angeles.

 

 

 

Wilder arrived in Los Angeles, along with trainer Jay Deas, to show off his skills in front of media at Churchill Boxing Club in Santa Monica. The most significant heavyweight event in the U.S. in more than 15 anni, Wilder vs. Fury tests the raw power of the 6-foot-7 Wilder against the unmatched size and mobility of the 6-foot-9 Fury.

 

 

 

I biglietti per l'evento, che è promosso da BombZquad Enterprises e Queensberry Promotions, in associazione con DiBella Entertainment e TGB Promotions, sono già in vendita. I prezzi dei biglietti partono da $75, plus applicable fees and are available via AXS.com. Wilder vs. Fury will be produced and distributed by SHOWTIME PPV.

 

 

 

Here is what Wilder and Deas had to say Thursday at media day, where Wilder was joined by his girlfriend Telli Swift and their eight-month-old daughter Kaorii:

 

Deontay Wilder

 

 

 

I feel like I’m at my very best right now. Mentalmente, physically and emotionally I’m ready to go. Tutto è perfetto. I just want to get in the ring and show action. Tyson Fury doesn’t know what he’s gotten himself into.

 

 

 

As a true champion, I know how to adjust to any fighter that’s in front of me. My experience facing fighters of all styles has prepared me for this special fight.

 

 

 

I’ve had tremendous sparring. Every day I’m making adjustments and getting myself right so I can get my timing and style exactly how it needs to be. If the fight was this weekend, Deontay Wilder is ready to go.

 

 

 

Luis Ortiz was the most avoided fighter in the heavyweight division and I understand why he had never gotten the title shot before. I’m the type of fighter who gives people opportunities and he was the fighter I needed to face to prove to the world what I’m all about.

 

 

 

This is not a game for me. Everyone has heard about what it’s like to be in the ring with me, but until you’re in there, you don’t know for sure that what you’ve been hearing is for real. I’m the best in the world. I don’t think any heavyweight has been through what I’ve been through.

 

 

 

I’m training for a certain type of mission. As a fighter I have to have the mindset that I must be ready for anything. Poi, once it’s time for the bell to ring, I become ‘The Bronze Bomber’.

 

 

 

Fury has height just like me and he also brings an awkward style like myself. He’s rangy, mobile and he believes he’s the best in the world. You’ll get two giants who are athletic and move around the ring like no one else in this sport.

 

 

 

They say that I have the power and he has the boxing skills. We’ll see on December 1. It’s a puncher versus a boxer. I think the puncher is going to box his lights out, and then I’m going to knock his lights out.

 

 

 

I don’t watch too much film or study guys past getting their style down and seeing how they use their styles. My trainers watch film and use that knowledge to give me advice throughout the fight. I find that my opponents fight differently depending on who they’re facing, so I can’t dwell too much on watching past fights.

 

JAY bello, Trainer di Wilder

 

 

 

Tyson Fury is kind of like a Rubik’s cube. But a Rubik’s cube can be solved. Fury is a very versatile fighter who can move, he can box and fight from lots of distances. He’s the total package as a fighter and on top of that he’s strong-willed mentally.

 

 

 

We have our hands full, but I know that Deontay Wilder is the guy to handle Tyson Fury. Deontay is the the right guy to take over boxing and this is the first step in that.

 

 

 

Deontay has had a fantastic camp and we’ve had really good sparring partners. Fury is a tall fighter, but it’s really the athleticism that makes him what he is. We believe we’re better off finding more athletic guys who are slightly shorter than Fury, rather than someone his height who is a statue.

 

 

 

Fortunately Deontay has always been a focused fighter, so keeping him right mentally I don’t think will ever be a problem. Deontay can handle any chaos around him better than anyone I’ve seen. When he says he’s the man for this job, he really means it.

 

 

 

The tough thing with preparing for Tyson Fury is that even he doesn’t know exactly what he’s going to do in there. He can fight lefty, righty, dirty or clean. We’re working on being prepared for all of these things and more.

 

 

 

Both guys are very athletic and very awkward style-wise, but once this fight combusts, it’s going to be phenomenal. You don’t want to blink or go to the bathroom, the pretzel can wait, because you’re going to want to catch every second of it.

LOS ANGELES (Ottobre 25, 2018) – Lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury hosted a Los Angeles media day Thursday at Churchill Boxing Club in Santa Monica as he prepares to take on WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder Sabato, Dicembre 1 from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles on SHOWTIME PPV®.

 

 

 

Furia, who is training in Big Bear, arrived nearby by helicopter for the media workout to discuss the showdown with Wilder before jumping into the ring to show off the skills that made him an IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight champion.

 

 

 

I biglietti per l'evento, che è promosso da BombZquad Enterprises e Queensberry Promotions, in associazione con DiBella Entertainment e TGB Promotions, sono già in vendita. I prezzi dei biglietti partono da $75, plus applicable fees and are available viaAXS.com. Wilder vs. Fury will be produced and distributed by SHOWTIME PPV.

 

 

 

Fury was working out in shorts from Oddball, a company that donates all of its proceeds to research to fight testicular cancer, a cause Fury has championed. Here is what Fury and his trainer, Ben Davison, had to say Thursday from Churchill Boxing Club in Santa Monica:

 

TYSON FURY

 

 

 

This is an important fight for boxing, because it’s two undefeated champions facing off. There have been people not getting in the ring with top guys for whatever reason, but here you have two fighters stepping up and onto the line.

 

 

 

It’s a pretty easy fight to analyze, Deontay Wilder needs to connect with that big right hand and knock me out, and I need to not let him do that. I need to do whatever I can to get out the way of that right hand, and make him worry about defending my punches.

 

 

 

I already became a unified champion; I’ve crossed the bridge into the very upper echelon of the sport. This time I’m back and I’m here for good.

 

 

 

I’m back to reclaim my throne. Even though I’ve had the tune-up fights, I feel like this is my true comeback fight.

 

 

 

I’m used to being in hostile, solitary environments for training camp. For the Wladimir Klitschko fight I was in Holland, in a forest 10 miles away from any shop or town. I thrive in the condition in Big Bear.

 

 

 

There have been no distractions training up in Big Bear. It’s perfect. There’s nothing but a few bears and rattle snakes. That’s it as far as distractions.

 

 

 

I have a great up-and-coming trainer and he’s going to have me ready for the challenge.

 

 

 

I wear these funky shorts in public a lot and I wore them today because they represent a company called Oddballs, and every penny spent on these pants goes to research to fight testicular cancer. A friend of mine went through it recently, and I want to spread awareness for him and this cause.

 

BEN DAVISON, Fury’s Trainer

 

 

 

I have a great sense of Tyson Fury and can feel what he needs when he wakes up each day and walks into the gym. Our relationship has really gelled these last 12 mesi.

 

 

 

It’s going to be an action-packed fight that’s for sure. Both men are violent freaks of nature to be honest with you. It’s going to be an epic battle.

 

 

 

I think physically alone you can see how far Tyson Fury has come. That takes a lot of willpower and dedication. He’s put a lot of work in just physically, and that’s really just a slice of what he’s shown in the gym.

 

 

 

All heavyweights can punch, if any one of them hit you on the chin, you’re going to have problems. It’s not the power of Wilder that we’re focusing on, it’s the agility, speed and awkwardness that he brings. We’re studying his habits and watching every little thing that he does in the ring.

 

 

 

It takes fights like these to bring the best out of Tyson Fury. He’s a fighter who raises his game to what’s in front of him.

Di seguito sono riportate citazioni flash dall'evento di oggi al The Novo di Microsoft a Los Angeles. In diretta:

 

Deontay Wilder

 

 

 

"Ho combattuto uno dei migliori e penso di combattere il prossimo migliore in linea nella divisione dei pesi massimi, e penso che sia un duro. La cosa su Tyson, è mentalmente forte. È il re degli zingari e sai cosa dicono degli zingari; sono persone in viaggio e sono persone senza paura. Ed è per questo che è l'avversario perfetto per questa situazione, per questa occasione di riportare la divisione dei pesi massimi. Quindi quando lo butto fuori posso dire di aver messo fuori combattimento qualcuno che era senza paura.

 

 

 

"È fantastico per la divisione dei pesi massimi. È carismatico, lui può parlare, Ho un ottimo compagno di ballo. È senza paura sul ring e ha un background di boxe nel sangue; prende il nome da Mike Tyson e tutto ciò è fantastico. È positivo che provenga da un altro paese, quindi puoi vedere culture diverse, personalità diverse da noi due. Ne hai uno dall'America e ne hai uno dalla Gran Bretagna. Quindi questo renderà ancora più piacevole per me quando lo metterò KO.

 

 

 

“Tutto questo si aggiunge. Questo è eccitante per me e non vedo l'ora di tornare a Los Angeles. Quello che sto dicendo è che lo metterò KO.

 

 

 

“Sai cosa vengo a fare e sai cosa vengo a fare a dicembre 1. Quando vieni a vedere i combattimenti, vieni a vedere qualcuno che viene messo fuori combattimento. Non verrai a vedere i combattimenti di 12 round. So che verrai a vedere alcune abilità, ma verrai a vedere il corpo di quest'uomo sulla tela ed è quello che ti consegnerò.

 

TYSON FURY

 

 

 

"Non c'è un uomo nato da sua madre di cui Tyson Fury abbia paura, e soprattutto non un uomo che indossa le trecce tutti i giorni. Non temo nulla di lui; Non temo nulla che possa fare.

 

 

 

“È una lotta. Possiamo fare tutte queste cose sul palco, Posso camminare da queste parti e parlare bene come qualsiasi uomo del paese. Ma quando si tratta di litigare, sarà una lotta infernale. Deontay Wilder: pugno massiccio. Me: abile pugile. Sarà una notte epica. Questa è una lotta legata all'eredità e credo che sia vero. E dopo che ho vinto, mi assumerà come suo addetto stampa perché credo di poter promuovere Deontay Wilder di nuovo ad essere campione del mondo dei pesi massimi in pochissimo tempo. Ma non c'è da vergognarsi a perdere contro di me perché sono il più grande pugile della mia generazione e non posso essere battuto, soprattutto non da lui.

 

 

 

“Ce ne sono stati molti, molti combattenti prima come Deontay Wilder, ma non c'è mai stato un Tyson Fury prima nella storia della boxe. Lo so perché ho studiato il gioco a fondo.

 

 

 

"Sto dando [Wilder] l'opportunità di combattere The Gypsy King. Ho il diritto al trono che risale a anni e anni fa, quindi gli sto dando l'opportunità di diventare qualcosa.

 

 

 

"Solo nei sogni Deontay Wilder mette fuori combattimento Tyson Fury. Solo nei suoi sogni

 

 

 

"Deontay Wilder ha bisogno di Tyson Fury ma Tyson Fury non ha bisogno di Deontay Wilder. Ho scelto Deontay Wilder come vittima facile. Questa sarà la battaglia più facile della mia carriera".

 

SHELLY FINKEL

 

 

 

“Sarà una grande battaglia. Ultimamente, Ho visto Tyson Fury cantare la canzone, "C'è solo un Tyson Fury". Penso che l'abbia rubato a Ricky Hatton e tu hai visto cosa gli è successo. Penso che questa tendenza continuerà".

 

FRANK WARREN

 

 

 

“Penso che Tyson sia uno dei migliori, è sicuramente uno dei pesi massimi più colorati che sia uscito dalla Gran Bretagna. Le sue abilità sono sublimi, lui fa l'impossibile. È andato in Germania, ha portato Klitschko a scuola; un buon Klitschko. Ha combattuto il ragazzo e come ha detto, lui è il campione assoluto. Ama le sfide ed è un viaggiatore. Ecco perché viene nel cortile di Deontay. Sta arrivando negli States, sta combattendo uno dei pesi massimi più esplosivi degli ultimi anni, un ragazzo che può dare un pugno. Penso che gli stili facciano combattere, e tutti dicono che Tyson correrà e Deontay gli verrà dietro. Non credo che succederà; Penso la notte, vedrai Tyson mantenere la sua posizione e vedrai avere dei fuochi d'artificio seri.

 

 

 

"Questa è una grande lotta, è una lotta per i fan, è fantastico essere qui a Los Angeles. per fare questa lotta. È fantastico che siamo in America per portare un altro inglese qui per riprendersi la cintura.

 

 

 

“Questo è il meglio combattere i migliori; i due migliori pesi massimi al mondo che si sono fatti avanti e hanno combattuto in quel modo.

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA

 

 

 

“Abbiamo un evento molto speciale. Cosa lo rende così speciale? Chiaramente, è una grande lotta per il titolo dei pesi massimi, ma c'è un diverso tipo di mistica e ronzio per una lotta per il titolo dei pesi massimi. Abbiamo una lotta per il titolo dei pesi massimi tra due atleti d'élite. Abbiamo il pugile più duro del pugilato contro uno dei pugili più abili dello sport, sicuramente nella divisione dei pesi massimi. È un affascinante incontro di stili. Abbiamo due grandi personalità e i due combattenti più alti nella divisione dei pesi massimi.

 

 

 

“In una città di grandi eventi, abbiamo il più grande degli eventi. L.A. ha sicuramente avuto la sua parte di grandi combattimenti - Henry Armstrong, Arte aragonese, Bobby Chacon, Oscar De La Hoya, Shane Mosley – hanno combattuto tutti qui. e LA. ha persino ospitato la sua parte di combattimenti dei pesi massimi. Jim Jeffries, Jack Johnson ha combattuto qui, Anche Muhammad Ali ha combattuto qui. Ma in termini di importanti combattimenti per il titolo dei pesi massimi a Los Angeles, la lista è molto corta. Ci sono stati tre combattimenti contro Vitali Klitschko. Chris Arreola, Corrie Sanders e Lennnox Lewis. Questo è tutto. Quattro combattenti hanno combattuto per il titolo mondiale dei pesi massimi a Los Angeles nella sua storia. Questo è un evento raro a Los Angeles. Non da 2009 abbiamo visto un evento per il titolo dei pesi massimi a Los Angeles?. e in una città di eventi da non perdere, questo è l'apice. C'è più del titolo WBC in gioco, più che orgoglio, si tratta di eredità e storia”.

Mousasi vs. MacDonald:

 

 

 

Gegard Mousasi impressed in his promotional debut over former Bellator middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko, a win that earned him a shot at Rafael Carvalho, where 185-pound gold was on the line. Ora, after a decisive victory against Carvalho at Bellator 200, Mousasi will defend his crown against Rory MacDonald, entering the bout with his current unbeaten streak at seven fights. “The Dreamcatcher,” who trains out of The Netherlands, holds one of the most impressive resumes in all of the sport, at one time winning the STRIKEFORCE light heavyweight title, as well as the DREAM light heavyweight and middleweight titles.

 

 

 

Over the last several years, “The Red King” Rory MacDonald has become the most popular Canadian mixed martial artist due to his classic stand-up wars and wins over some of MMA’s best in Paul Daley, Nate Diaz, Tyron Woodley, B.J. Penn and Demian Maia. Bellator’s welterweight champion joined the Viacom-owned promotion in 2016 and went on to defeat Douglas Lima for the welterweight title at Bellator 192. Ora, the Tristar Gym-trained fighter sets his sights on winning gold in not one, but two separate weight classes.

 

“Rampage” vs. Silva:

 

 

A six-fight veteran of Bellator, “Rampage” leggendaria carriera di Jackson lo ha visto competere contro alcuni dei nomi più importanti in questo sport, generando un fedele esercito di fan lungo la strada. L'ex Orgoglio e campione UFC è l'orgoglioso proprietario di molti sbatte epico Highlight Reel e ko che ha collezionato durante le sue battaglie epiche con artisti del calibro di Chuck Liddell, Dan Henderson, “King Mo,” Kevin Randleman and, forse più in particolare,, his trilogy with fellow Bellator athlete Wanderlei Silva, who he now meets at heavyweight on Sette. 29.

 

 

Wanderlei Silva’s wars with “Rampage,” Tito Ortiz, Mirko Cro Cop, Vitor Belfort, Dan Henderson, Kazushi Sakuraba, Chuck Liddell and Michael Bisping remain some of the more memorable bouts in MMA history. “The Axe Murderer” is far from ready to close the book on his illustrious career, returning to action against a man he has already competed against three times before. In addition to the PRIDE middleweight title, Silva’s trophy case includes awards for “Fight of the Year” (2003, 2004, 2007), KO of the Year (2008) and multiple “Fight of the Night” awards. Più di recente, the Brazilian native made his Bellator debut against Chael Sonnen in the main event of Bellator: NYC.

Pasqua, who enters with a 5-inch height and 8-inch reach advantage, looks to stamp his name amongst boxing’s elite by unifying titles at 27 anni, less than two years after capturing his first belt.

SHOWTIME Sports continues to lead the industry with the biggest events, the most important matchups, week after week, month after month,” ha detto Stephen Espinoza, President Sports & Events Programming, Showtime Network Inc. “Mikey Garcia vs. Robert Pasqua Jr. is the third world championship unification match on SHOWTIME this year. A consensus top-10 pound-for-pound champion facing an undefeated young champion while both are in the prime of their careers. Luglio 28 has all the makings of an instant classic.

 

 

 

“Mikey Garcia vs. Robert Easter is an outstanding lightweight matchup that is sure to deliver drama for fight fans at STAPLES Center and on SHOWTIME,” Said Tom Brown, Presidente di Promotions TGB. “Garcia will look to unify in his hometown and further solidify his credentials as boxing’s pound-for-pound best. He’ll have perhaps the toughest test of his career in the unbeaten Easter, who has a lethal combination of size, speed and power that he brings to the ring. With both fighters defending their titles and undefeated records, this is shaping up to be a can’t-miss night of boxing in downtown Los Angeles.

 

 

 

This is the kind of matchup that boxing fans love and a fight that I believe will certainly live up to expectations,” said Richard Schaefer, Presidente & CEO di Ringstar Sport. “With two undefeated world champions, and two of the top guys at 135 libbre, this fight is guaranteed drama. Mikey Garcia will look to become a unified world champion and add another accolade to a career that is already shaping up to be historic. Robert Pasqua Jr, a proud champion in his own right, is coming to STAPLES Center on July 28 to upset Mikey Garcia in his hometown. This is the quality of matchup that fans watching on SHOWTIME have come to expect and I suspect they will be fulfilled once again when these two warriors meet in the ring.

 

 

 

We are really looking forward to this incredible fight at STAPLES Center,” ha detto Lee Zeidman, Presidente, STAPLES Center. “These two fighters will undoubtedly headline an amazing night of fights for boxing fans in Los Angeles and we are looking forward to welcoming back Premier Boxing Champions and SHOWTIME for the second time in just two months.

 

 

 

One of Southern California’s most popular fighters, Garcia returns to STAPLES Center for his first fight since becoming a world champion, and his first in California in seven years. Easter returns to the site of his professional debut, having started his career at STAPLES Center in 2012 after serving as an alternate in the London Olympic Games.

 

 

 

Garcia (38-0, 30 KO), of Moreno Valley by way of Oxnard, Calif., became only the third fighter in modern history to become champion at 126, 130, 135 e 140-libbre, joining future Hall of Famers Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao, when he defeated Sergey Lipinets for the IBF 140-pound title in March. The 30-year-old relinquished that title so that he can unify the WBC Lightweight World Championship that he won in January 2017 with a highlight reel knockout of Dejan Zlaticanin (Fare clicQUI to watch Garcia-Zlaticanin KO video)

 

 

 

These wins, combined with a summer 2017 victory over Adrien Broner, have seen Garcia return to the top of pound-for-pound lists after a layoff of two and a half years. Garcia accrued wins over a list of notable names while winning his first two titles at 126 and 130-pounds, including Orlando Salido, Roman Martinez and Juan Manuel Lopez.

 

 

 

This is the toughest fight of my career to date,” said the four-division champion Garcia. “Robert Pasqua Jr. is an undefeated world champion who presents serious challenges that I’m going to have to work hard to overcome. Unifying titles is something I’ve dreamed of doing for many years, and to do it at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles will make it even more special. This is the kind of fight that will help my legacy. To be the best you have to beat the best, and Easter is certainly one of the best out there. I’m very thankful to have this opportunity and I’m going to make the most of it on July 28.

 

 

 

Representing his hometown of Toledo, Ohio, Pasqua (21-0, 14 KO) has made three successful defenses since winning his world title in an exciting contest over Richard Commey in 2016. The 27-year-old delivered a fifth-round destruction of former champion Argenis Mendez to earn the title shot, and since winning the title has held off challenges from Javier Fortuna, Denis Shafikov and Luis Cruz to retain his 135-pound belt.

 

 

 

Easter will be making the move to work with Kevin Cunningham for the first time for this fight and conducting training camp in West Palm Beach with him. Cunningham, the longtime trainer of former world champions such as Devon Alexander and Cory Spinks, spurred Adrien Broner to a strong performance in a draw against Jessie Vargas and Gervonta Davis to a dominant knockout of Jesus Cuellar in their first fights together in April.

 

 

 

This is a fight I’ve been waiting for and I’m really excited that the time is now,” said Easter. “This is the best fighting the best. These are the fights that boxing is all about. I made the move to train with Kevin Cunningham down in Florida and I think it’s going to help me reach another level. It’s just eat, sleep and train down there. We’re going to be ready on July 28 to put on a show and deliver fireworks.

UNDEFEATED BLUE-CHIP LIGHTWEIGHT PROSPECT DEVIN HANEY TO FACE VETERAN MASON MENARD IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: IL VENERDÌ DI NUOVA GENERAZIONE, MAGGIO 11 LIVE ON Showtime

 

 

Vivere a 10 p.m. E/PT On SHOWTIME From 2300 Arena In Philadelphia

 

 

 

 

NEW YORK (Aprile 5, 2018) – Highly regarded undefeated lightweight Devin Haney will face the toughest test of his career in veteran Mason Menard in the 10-round main event of ShoBox: La nuova generazione Venerdì, Maggio 11 in diretta su Showtime (10 p.m. ET / PT) da 2300 Arena di Philadelphia.

 

 

 

 

The 19-year-old Haney, who was a seven-time national junior amateur champion, has been considered a blue-chip prospect since turning professional at the age of 16 in Messico. Haney (18-0, 12 KO) will face by far the toughest opponent of his career in his ShoBox debut against Menard (33-2, 24 KO), a two-time ShoBox veteran whose only loss in nearly a decade came to current WBO Lightweight Champion Ray Beltran.

 

 

 

 

The boxing world will see something they’ve never seen a 19-year-old professional boxer do,” Haney said. “I’m intimidating and I know it. I’m thankful to SHOWTIME and Mason Menard for giving me this opportunity, unfortunately for him, he will get a chance to see first-hand what all the hype is about. I’ve been sparring with former world champions like Jesse Vargas in preparation for this fight. The fact that I’m fighting in the main event is bringing out the best in me. It’s my time to show the world what I’m made of and I’m coming to make a statement in this fight. Mason Menard is in trouble!”

 

 

 

 

The young and flashy Haney fights out of Las Vegas, where he has earned a reputation as a prodigy having sparred with Floyd Mayweather, Shawn Porter, Jessie Vargas and Rances Barthelemy. Ha compilato un record amatoriale di 130-8 and received a special exception from the Nevada State Athletic Commission when he was just 17 years old to make his U.S. debut on the undercard of Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley III.

 

 

 

 

Haney, who is trained and managed by his father, William Haney, has been active since turning pro with nine fights in 2016 and seven in 2017. In his last fight on Nov. 4, he scored a fifth-round TKO against Hamza Sempewo in Atlanta.

 

 

 

 

Menard had an emphatic win in his ShoBox debutto in 2016 with a brutal Knockout of the Year nominee of previously unbeaten Eudy Bernardo. He returned later that year with a knockout victory of Bahodir Mamadjonov before facing Beltran on short notice. Prior to the 2016 loss to Beltran, Menard’s only blemish was a 2008 defeat in just his third professional fight.

 

 

 

 

It’s a privilege for me to be able return in a fight on national television again,” Menard said. “My all-around game will be different. I have a new team, a repaired shoulder and a different outlook on things. Haney may be undefeated, but he’s never faced anyone like me. If everyone expects me to fold against an untested prospect they are in for a big surprise.

 

 

 

 

After facing Beltran, Menard changed trainers and is now based in Los Angeles with trainers John Pullman and Buddy McGirt.

 

 

 

 

I biglietti per l'evento, che è promosso da Greg Cohen Promotions, Devin Haney Promozioni & Promozioni di grande impatto, sono al prezzo di $125 per VIP, $75 per prima fila e $50 per l'ammissione generale e sono disponibili presso il 2300 Arena Box office o online su www.HardHittingPromotions.com.
