The 25-year-old southpaw from Tijuana, Mexico scored a dominant stoppage victory over former champion McJoe Arroyo in March and returned in July to stop former champion Juan Carlos Payano.

Representing Sonora, Mexique, Alameda (25-0, 13 KOs) est invaincu depuis qu'il est devenu pro 2014 after a strong amateur career, and will step up in competition as he faces Nery for a shot at a world title bout.

Alameda will fight in the U.S. for the second time when he enters the ring on March 28, after scoring a body shot knockout over Andre Wilson in a January 2016 bout in Los Angeles.

“I’m very excited to be making my SHOWTIME debut in the main event against a great fighter,” said Alameda. “All of the years of training and fighting have brought me to this fight on March 28. Nery is a Mexican warrior like myself and I can’t wait to lock horns with him and give the fans great action all the way until the final bell.”

Wallin, 29 ans (20-1, 13 KOs) will return to the ring in Las Vegas, where he nearly defeated former unified heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in September, quand il a ouvert une coupure horrible sur l'œil droit de Fury avec un coup de poing légal qui a presque arrêté le combat.

The 30-year-old didn’t start boxing until he was 19 and is managed by Washington Redskins All-Pro offensive lineman Trent Williams, and trained in Houston by NFL All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson and James Cooper. George will look to transition from prospect to contender by defeating Escudero again on March 28.

Escudero (10-1, 9 KOs) will look to bounce back and even the score against George, and in turn bolster his own position in the light heavyweight division. The 26-year-old from Buenos Aires, Argentina has fought primarily in the U.S. since turning pro in 2017. His amateur career saw him become a national champion in Argentina in 2014 and represent his country in the Pan-Am Games in 2015. Escudero currently trains in Miami and scored three stoppage wins in 2019 before facing George for the first time.

Australian Top Heavyweight and Uncrowned Champion Lucas Browne Volunteers for WBC Clean Boxing Program

Former WBA World Heavyweight Champion Lucas Big DaddyBrowne of Australia is upping the ante in his quest to clear his name and regain his championship by voluntarily enrolling in the WBC’s Clean Boxing Program.
The hard-punching Browne (24-0, 21 KOs) stopped Uzbekistan’s Ruslan Chagaev in round 10 last March in Grozny, Russie, to become Australia’s first-ever heavyweight champion. The dramatic victory, cependant, was nullified and Browne’s championship was stripped away and returned to Chagaev, d'après-combat, after he reportedly tested positive for the banned substance Clenbuterol.
Browne, who tested completely clean in a random drug test by VADA six days before the fight against Chagaev, staunchly maintains his innocence of purposefully taking any banned substance ever, and says he is taking steps to ensure he is never again accused of cheating.
I’m proud to announce that I am now part of the Clean Boxing Program, which is being run by the WBC and VADA,” Saïd Browne. “By voluntarily enrolling in this program I am able to be randomly tested at any time, 365 days of the year.
Browne, who was the one who insisted that VADA perform drug testing before the Chagaev fight, says the decision to join the program was an easy one to make. “I have absolutely no issues with this, as I am a clean athlete and I believe boxing needs this kind of regulation. I welcome this aspect of safety for the sport of boxing. I despise all drugs, whether they be performance-enhancing or recreational.
Browne’s manager, Matt Clark, says that by becoming Australia’s first fighter to volunteer for the program, his fighter will hopefully start a trend.
Lucas is Australia’s premier boxer and resents drugs of any kind,” M. Clark. “We hope that other fighters from around the world join Lucas and sign up for the program. Anything that makes boxing safer is a good thing.
Browne and Clark say they are still fightingtooth and nailto clear his name and thank the public for the tremendous support they have received, à l'échelle mondiale.
Having always been a clean athlete, I am totally opposed to any form of doping,” Browne concluded. “I’ve always felt that cheaters in professional boxing should be banned for life. Avec 21 KOs in my 21 victoires, I’m of the same opinion as (current WBC World Heavyweight Champion) Deontay Wilder: If I was ever to use PED drugs, I might end up killing someone!”

Ricky Hatton: “Browne a remporté le titre des poids lourds serait énorme pour mon entreprise”

Invaincu Lucas Browne à entrer en collision avec Ruslan Chagaev pour le titre WBA World Heavyweight EN DIRECT Ce samedi sur AWE à 2 PM ET

San Diego, COMME – Mars 3, 2016 – Cette Samedi après-midi, le 5 mars, invaincue et numéro deux classés WBA des lourds Lucas “Big Daddy” Browne(23-0-0) se disputeront la défense WBA World Heavyweight Ruslan Chagaev (34-2-1) pour sa ceinture. Le combat sera diffusé DIRECT aux États-Unis sur AWE – Une multitude de divertissements.
L'action commence en direct à 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT.
Browne est promu par l'ancien champion du monde de la division et Idol britannique, Ricky Hatton et le grand Manchester a beaucoup sur la ligne ce samedi si Browne peut venir à travers avec la victoire.
“Il serait énorme pour mon entreprise, très significatif,”Ledit Hatton. “Lucas serait mon premier champion du monde en tant que promoteur, et il est fantastique que ce serait un titre poids lourd. Je suis un champion du monde deux fois en tant que combattant. J'ai formé un champion du monde, donc je ne sais pas beaucoup de gens qui ont fait trois en tant que formateur, combattant et un promoteur. “
Avoir Browne dans cette position, le promoteur tourné de combat, est ravi pour son combat, étant que Browne n'a pas été recherchée au début de sa carrière.
“Je suis très heureux pour Lucas. Il est venu à la dure. Il n'a pas été un athlète olympique. En fait, il était il y a quelques années, qu'il travaillait à des portes des boîtes de nuit et il a mis dans le dur travail et cela est une grande soirée pour moi et ma compagnie.”
En dépit de la lutte étant en territoire ennemi, “The Hitman”, sent son combat est entre bonnes mains que Browne est formé par l'ancien champion du monde des super-moyens et grand britannique, Nigel Benn.
“Il a une grande équipe derrière lui. Un excellent formateur. Il va être un travail difficile, mais je crois fermement qu'il va gagner le combat. Il sera difficile que Chagaev était un grand amateur et maintenant un champion du monde. Lucas qui a toujours été connu comme un perforateur se déplace beaucoup mieux sur ses pieds. Très fluide. Lucas a également ajouté la vitesse et a eu une grande préparation.”
Être en territoire ennemi, Hatton sait que la lutte peut descendre aux juges, et il croit que Browne va obtenir un traitement équitable de.
“Je voudrais penser que Lucas ne sera pas besoin d'un knock-out pour gagner, mais les juges peuvent se laisser influencer par les fans de sa ville natale, mais ce qui est un combat pour le titre mondial, Je pense juges de classe mondiale. Cela étant dit, Lucas ne devrait pas laisser au hasard.”
Avec une victoire Browne, il y a une chance une bonne partie division des poids lourds traverserait le Royaume-Uni en tant que champion unifié Tyson Fury et potentiellement Anthony Joshua (qui se bat le champion IBF Charles Martin Avril 9) détiendrait la majeure partie du matériel dans la division glamour de la boxe.
“Je pensais à ce sujet. Je me entends bien avec Eddie Hearn, qui a Joshua. Je reçois une longue grande avec mon ancien promoteur Frank Warren et vous pouvez également jeter David Haye là-dedans qui est de retour. Je ne vois aucun problème avec faire des combats Joshua ou Fury et nous aurions quelques poids lourds combats massifs ici. Lucas a combattu ici cinq fois et a une bonne base de fans.”
“La seule chose que je suis étripé au sujet Samedi est que je ne peux pas être là avec Lucas quand il gagne comme je former beaucoup de jeunes combattants et j'ai quatre d'entre eux combat Samedi et ils ont besoin de moi à Londres avec eux, mais Samedi sera un grand jour pour mon entreprise.”
