ŠTA: Days ahead of his 135-pound title unification showdown with Mikey Garcia (38-0, 30 KOs), IBF prvak svijeta u lakoj kategoriji Robert Uskrs Jr. (21-0, 14 KOs) reflects on the path that has led to the most important night of his career in a video feature released today by SHOWTIME Sports®.

Born and raised in Toledo, Ohajo, Easter dreamt of one day accomplishing what his father, also a professional boxer, was never able to accomplish: becoming a world champion.

“My dad had a short career and I made a promise to myself that I would make him live out winning a world championship through me,” said the 27-year-old Easter. “Winning a world title was a life-changing experience for me. We both lived out our dreams at that moment.”

Vaskrs, who has made three successful defenses since winning his world title in an exciting contest over Richard Commey in 2016, decided to make the move to conduct training camp with Kevin Cunningham in West Palm Beach ahead of Subota night’s unification against the WBC Lightweight Champion Garcia. Cunningham has worked with former world champions Devon Alexander, Cory Spinks and Adrien Broner and recently spurred Gervonta Davis to a dominant knockout of Jesus Cuellar.

“Moving to West Palm Springs took me out of my comfort zone,” Easter said. “I knew Kevin Cunningham had a strong camp and there’s no slacking in his program. I can really focus on boxing and on me.”

"On Juli 28, Svima ću pokazati na čemu su spavali & zašto sam svetski šampion," – Vaskrs

WEST PALM BEACH, FL. (Juli 19, 2018) – IBF prvak svijeta u lakoj kategoriji Robert Uskrs Jr. je maksimalno iskoristio svoj inauguralni trening kamp s Kevinom Cunninghamom i nastojat će donijeti isti nivo fokusa u ring kada izazove WBC svjetskog prvaka u lakoj kategoriji Mikey Garcia Subota, Juli 28 uživo na SHOWTIME iz STAPLES Centra u Los Angelesu na događaju koji su predstavili Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

„Odlučio sam da odem na Floridu zbog drugačijeg okruženja nego što sam inače trenirao,” rekao je Uskrs, rodom iz Toleda koji je trenirao u svom rodnom gradu veći dio svoje profesionalne karijere. “Trebalo je da me izvuku iz zone udobnosti. Kod kuce, Bio sam fokusiran na previše drugih stvari. Dolazak u West Palm Beach mi je omogućio da se fokusiram samo na sebe i boks.”

 

 

 

Easter je vidio šta je Cunningham učinio za svoje bliske prijatelje Adriena Bronera i Gervonta Davis, koji su obojica trenirali sa Cunninghamom do aprila 21 borbe na SHOWTIME-u u kojima se Broner borio do zabavnog remija protiv Jessieja Vargasa, a Davis osvaja drugu titulu svjetskog prvaka spektakularnim nokautom Jesusa Cuellara.

 

 

 

“Bio sam sa Adrienom Bronerom i Gervontom Davisom na svakom koraku tokom trening kampa s Kevinom Cunninghamom ranije ove godine,” rekao je Uskrs. „Sami sam se uverio da je to nešto što moram da uradim. Razgovarao sam sa svojim tatom o tome da pobegnem od ometanja i složili smo se da je ovo pravi potez.”

 

 

 

Uskrs je ušao na scenu 2016 dominantnim nokautom bivšeg šampiona Argenisa Mendeza prije nego što je kasnije te godine pobijedio Richarda Commeya u zabavnoj borbi za osvajanje pojasa lake kategorije. Uskrsove posljednje dvije odbrane, međutim, dovele su do toga da je za dlaku pobjegao pobjedama odlukom, nešto za šta neporaženi šampion veruje da neće biti faktor u julu 28.

 

 

 

“Ljudi obraćaju pažnju na moje posljednje borbe kada nisam koristio svoju visinu i doseg,” rekao je Uskrs. „Mogu to poboljšati vraćajući se na ono što sam ranije radio. Nokautirao sam ljude borbu za borbom.

 

 

 

“Ako gledate samo moje posljednje dvije borbe, ne pripisuješ mi zasluge za sve što donesem na sto. Nedavno sam se suočio sa dva teška juga, ali u julu 28 Svima ću pokazati na čemu su spavali i zašto sam svjetski prvak.”

 

 

 

27-godišnji Uskrs sada će se boriti protiv jednog od najboljih u boksu pound-za-pound u četiri divizije svjetskog prvaka Mikey Garcia. Za Uskrs, ovo je borba koju je imao na umu i koja ga može staviti u sam vrh sporta.

 

 

 

“Oduvijek sam želio da se borim protiv najboljih u svojoj težinskoj kategoriji i sada imam priliku da se ujedinim,” rekao je Uskrs. “Znam da će se Mikey boriti protiv svoje borbe i pokušati da se suprotstavi. Želi čekati da pogriješite kako bi mogao iskoristiti prednost.

 

 

 

„Ono što moram da uradim je da uđem tamo i nametnem mu svoje atribute. Moja visina i doseg su moje prednosti, ali i moju brzinu i snagu. Samo moram sve to iskombinirati i fokusirati se na rad nogu.”

 

 

 

Iako će se Uskrs boriti u Garsijinom rodnom gradu Los Anđelesu, nema planova da dozvoli da partizanska publika utiče na njegov fokus dok svoju najveću profesionalnu pobedu traži u istoj zgradi u kojoj je debitovao.

 

 

 

“Nije mi važno gdje ćemo se boriti,” rekao je Uskrs. “Niko od navijača mu ne može pomoći da se bori. Radi se samo o meni i njemu u tom ringu zajedno.

 

 

 

“Moja prva profesionalna borba bila je u STAPLES Centru i iako je bila rano u undercardu, I dalje sam se osjećao kao da postoje 10,000 fanovi me posmatraju. Upravo sam se borio. Sve je u tome da ostanete fokusirani. 28. jula neće biti izgovora.”

Četvrti (21-0, 13 KOs) napravio je skok iz kampanje sa 130 funti u superlaku kategoriju u decembru 2016 i ostao je zauzet dok je nokautirao sve teže protivnike kako se bliži borbi za titulu svjetskog prvaka.

 

 

 

Evo šta je 23-godišnji Barrios rekao o svom julu 28 utakmica i još mnogo toga iz trening kampa u sjevernoj Kaliforniji sa Virgil Hunterom:

 

O njegovoj borbi protiv Jose Romana:

“Roman je veoma opasan borac sa dobrim dosijeom. On je visok borac poput mene, tako da će to biti drugačiji izazov za mene.

 

 

 

“Nema sumnje da će mi biti najteži protivnik do sada. Ovo su vrste teških borbi koje mi trebaju da dobijem i ubedljivo pobedim da bih došao do nivoa šampionata. Idem tamo na misiju u julu 28 i ja ću dokazati da sam spreman za titulu.

 

 

 

“Znam da je motivisan da krene u ovu borbu jer će se boriti u blizini svog rodnog grada. Samo ću se držati svog plana igre i fokusirati se na ono što moram da uradim, a to su jaki udarci sa preciznom preciznošću.”

 

U njegovom trenutnom nizu nokautiranja:

“Otkako sam prešao na super-lake, moje tijelo se prilagodilo debljanju, i osećam se jače nego ikada. Još uvijek rastem u svoju mušku snagu, a raste i moja moć. Nikad ne ulazim u borbu tražeći nokaut, ali ako povrijedim protivnika, Obećavam da ću pokušati da ga izvedem.”

 

U svom trening kampu za ovaj meč:

“Imao sam ogroman trening kamp. Prvih nekoliko nedelja trenirao sam u San Antoniju u South Park Boxing Gymu sa svojim tatom i Rickom Nunezom koji su postavljali temelje za ono što smo želeli da postignemo.

 

 

 

“Onda sam to završio u sjevernoj Kaliforniji sa Virgil Hunterom, ko će voditi moj kutak. Svi zajedno činimo fantastičan tim. Imao sam ogroman sparing za ovu borbu, moje zdravlje je dobro i spreman sam za polazak.”

 

Na svom debiju u SHOWTIME:

“Zaista sam uzbuđen što ću debitovati na SHOWTIME-u na ovoj kartici. Oduvijek sam znao da ću se boriti na velikoj sceni u nekom trenutku svoje karijere. Sada je vrijeme da pokažem svijetu od čega sam napravljen. Veoma sam zahvalan svom timu što mi je pružio ovu priliku.”

Here is what Garcia, his brother and trainer Robert Garcia and Ringstar Sports Chairman and CEO Richard Schaefer had to say ahead of Garcia’s first title unification fight:

 

MIKEY GARCIA

 

 

 

“It’s been seven years since I last had the chance to fight here in LA, and that was even before I was champion. Now after all of my accomplishments, I get to come home and put on a unification match for my local fans.

 

 

 

“Every time I walk into the ring, there’s a moment where I get butterflies and feel the emotions from the fans. This time it’s with my hometown fans and that’s really special. I’m really looking forward to it because I know the fans are going to show up and show their love and support.

 

 

 

“I think I’m in my prime right now. I’m in the best shape physically and mentally that I’ve ever been in. I need to take advantage of the moment right now and take on the biggest challenges. I want to give the fans fights to remember. Those are the fights that excite me the most.

 

 

 

“I know Easter is very tall and has a longer reach than me. U teretani, we’ve been working on sparring partners who present different challenges and made adjustments from there. I have to catch him reaching in or put pressure and work my way inside. There are different things that I’m capable of doing.

 

 

 

“I’m pretty experienced from fighting taller guys in the past, so I don’t think it’s going to make too huge a difference. It’s a disadvantage on paper, but once fight night comes, Ja ću biti spreman.

 

 

 

“This is a big fight for me and I’m sure it’s the biggest fight of Easter’s career so far. I’m glad to hear he’s training extra hard. It shows me that he’s motivated and hungry to show off his very best, baš kao i ja sam.

 

 

 

“This is my natural weight and so far everything in camp has been smooth. The weight started coming off right away and now just restricting the diet enough so we get to where we want to be.”

 

ROBERT GARCIA, Garcia’s Brother & Trener

 

 

 

“We know that Robert Easter is training like never before to be ready for this fight against Mikey. He has a huge reach advantage, so we know he’s going to come in and use that. He has a new trainer [Kevin Cunningham] who is going to try make us box with him.

 

 

 

“We don’t listen at any criticism of Easter for having close decisions in his last couple of fights. We know that Easter is going to come in having trained like never before. It’s going to be the best Robert Easter Jr. possible on fight night.

 

 

 

“Mikey fighting at home in front of his hometown fans is huge for us. We know that there’s extra pressure that comes with it, but everything we’ve done together so far in his career has prepared him for it. I’m confident it’s going to bring out the best in him.”

 

 

 

“We have to use our experience advantage. Mikey has fought the better competition, but Easter is a young guy who wants to take Mikey’s spot. Mikey is very smart, so he’s going to look for the right punch to do damage.”

 

RICHARD SCHÄFER, Predsjednik & CEO Ringstar sporta

 

 

 

“Mikey Garcia has the opportunity to dominate at 135 i 140 kilograma, plus he even wants to move up in weight and challenge himself against the best at 147-pounds. It shows the character and strength of Mikey Garcia. No challenge is too big for him.

 

 

 

“Whenever Mikey Garcia fights, it is must-see TV. He’s as good as it gets in the sport. This challenge against Robert Easter Jr. is the kind of fight that can turn you into a boxing fan. This is going to be a barnburner. They say that styles make fights and these two styles are made for each other.

 

 

 

“There was always somebody who carried the sport of boxing who was in Los Angeles, but right now there isn’t. Mikey is coming to fill that void. To have Mikey back at STAPLES Center is a perfect pairing of fighter and arena. STAPLES Center tends to bring out the best in fighters and that’s sure to happen again on July 28.”

Televizija SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING u tri borbe (10 poslije podne. ET / 7 sati. PT)will open with unbeaten super lightweight contender Mario “Asteci” Četvrti uzimanje na upečatljivom Jose Roman u obračunu od 10 rundi.

After having heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder nearly out on his feet in their March classic, Ortiz (28-1, 24 KOs) eventually succumbed to the power of the unbeaten champion. Sada, Ortiz looks to get back to world title contention on July 28. Originally, from Camaguey, Kuba, now residing in Miami, Florida, Ortiz will fight in Los Angeles for the first time as a professional. Ortiz quickly became one of the most avoided men in boxing with victories over Bryant Jennings, Tony Thompson and Malik Scott on his way to the memorable showdown with Wilder.

 

 

 

“I’m looking to make a statement on July 28 and get back to challenge for the heavyweight championship of the world,” Said Ortiz. “I’m excited to be back in the ring. I am thankful to have this opportunity. To all the fans in Los Angeles, don’t miss this great card at STAPLES Center. ‘The Real King Kong’ is coming to LA!”

 

 

 

A native of Romania and fighting out of Burbank, Kalifornija, Cojanu (16-3, 9 KOs) challenged then WBO heavyweight world champion Joseph Parker for the title in May 2017. Cojanu took the New Zealand champion the distance but lost via unanimous decision in the champion’s home country. Standing over six-foot-seven, Cojanu scored three straight knockout victories in 2016 to earn the title shot and will return to the ring for his first fight in the U.S. since January 2016.

 

 

 

“I’m proud and confident to know that I will be stepping into the ring against a worthy opponent on July 28,” Said Cojanu. “Luis Ortiz is a world-class fighter with a lot of experience, which will give me the opportunity to show my skills to all the fans at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles and watching on SHOWTIME.”

 

 

 

23-godišnjak Četvrti (21-0, 13 KOs) has been impressive since moving up to 140 pounds last March. He’s scored stoppage victories over Yardley Cruz, Jose Luis Rodriguez, Naim Nelson and most recently a second-round destruction of Eudy Bernardo. The five-foot-ten Barrios of San Antonio had previously campaigned at 130 pounds before making the move to the higher weight class that has helped unlock his power.

 

 

 

“I fought on SHOWTIME EXTREME but making my debut on SHOWTIME has always been a dream of mine since I was a kid,” Said Barrios. “Sada, the time has come to show why I’m here. I’m ready to keep showing why I’m going to become a star and one of the sport’s next great fighters. Come July 28, everyone should tune-in for a great night of fights. It’s ‘Azteca’ time.”

 

 

 

Fighting out of Garden Grove, Kalifornija, Rimski (24-2-1, 16 KOs) scored knockouts in nine of his first 11 pro fights and has won 10 njegovog poslednjeg 11 leading up to July 28. The 30-year-old most recently dropped a decision to Wilberth Lopez last September after a run of defeating veteran fighters and will look to put himself back on the path to a world title with a victory over Barrios at STAPLES Center.

 

 

 

“I’m very excited to have this great opportunity,” said Roman. “Barrios has been on a roll, but I have the experience to take him out. Both of us bring pressure and I know he’s going to be hungry to keep his record perfect. I’m more motivated than I’ve ever been for this fight.

CARDIFF, WALES (Mart 31, 2018) – Undefeated and Unified Heavyweight World Champion Anthony Joshua went the distance for the first time in his career, outpointing previously undefeated champion Joseph Parker in a heavyweight unification bout Saturday on SHOWTIME in Cardiff, Vels.

IBF and WBA Heavyweight World Champion Joshua (21-0, 20 KOs) added Parker’s WBO title to his mantle with a 118-110, 118-110, i 119-109 unanimous decision before a boxing indoor attendance record of more than 78,000 fans at Principality Stadium.

While Joshua was the aggressor throughout, Parker established his jab in the early rounds in an attempt to negate Joshua’s six-inch reach advantage. And while Parker had his moments, Joshua was more active and landed the more meaningful punches and appeared to stagger the New Zealander on a handful of occasions.

In the championship rounds, it seemed the 28-year-old Joshua was going for the KO against Parker, who displayed a solid chin in becoming the only fighter to push Joshua the distance.

“I am not going to judge my performance,” Joshua said. “That’s for my coach to do. My strategy was to get behind the jab and we did that. The good jab will take you around the world.

“Through rounds 10, 11, 12, I was focused. I went the 12 rounds and I fought him hard, but it was light work. This is boxing. To je ono što mi radimo. Joseph Parker is a world champion. I knew he was going to be determined. Sometimes this is how it goes. It becomes a tactical boxing fight. This was going to be about finesse, and I controlled behind the jab and used finesse.

“We cannot forget – I am now the unified heavyweight champion of the world.”

Nakon borbe, Joshua was asked by Sky Sports reporter Andy Scott if he’d like to face fellow-undefeated WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder for the chance to become undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

“One hundred percent, 100 posto,” Joshua answered. “You’re asking me, do I want to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world? The WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO. Twenty one fights, six world championship fights. I am not into the hype. I am about the business. Tako, let’s talk business. Eddie Hearn can talk with Al Haymon and (Shelly Finkel).

“Just like Dillion (Whyte) rekao je, ‘WILDER, LET’S GO, BABY.’ Let’s go. On this side of the pond, we are serious. Great Britain, the United Kingdom, we are representing. We have all the fighters, champions from heavyweight all the way down to the lower weight classes. We are about the business.”

Joshua didn’t seem disappointed he was unable to score a KO yet still admitted he wasn’t satisfied with the first distance fight of his career.

“Definitely, we are not satisfied. One step at a time,” Joshua said. “We are not our best yet but we are at the pinnacle of boxing. I always go in the deep end, always challenge myself. I am ready for more challenges. We will see what’s next.”

When pressed who he’d like to fight next, Joshua said, “Wilder. Wilder or Fury,” referencing fellow Brit and former unified heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, who has been inactive since 2015 due to a variety of issues.

“Get him (Wilder) u ringu, and I’ll knock him spark out,” Joshua promised.

The 26-year-old Parker (24-1, 18 KOs) didn’t dispute the decision in what was the first unification fight between undefeated heavyweight champions since 1987.

“Today, I got beat by the better man. The bigger man,” Parker said. “My plan is to go home, work hard and come back again.

“I would work harder. Make more punches. I would love another go. We could have worked inside more but whatever happened, happened. You can’t go back and change that.

“I am young, jak, fit and ready to come back and challenge again. We’ll be back again stronger.”

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will replay tonight at 10:35 poslije podne. I/PT na SHOWTIME. Following tonight’s encore presentation, Joshua vs. Parker will air Nedjelja morning at 9 sati. I/PT na SHOWTIME i Ponedjeljak u 10 poslije podne. I/PT na SHOWTIME EXTREME.

CARDIFF, WALES (Mart 30, 2018) – IBF and WBA Heavyweight World Champion Anthony Joshua weighed-in at 242 ¼ pounds and WBO Champion Joseph Parker measured 236 ½ pounds Friday before a capacity crowd at Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff for their Heavyweight World Championship tomorrow live on SHOWTIME.

 

 

 

The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast begins live at 5 poslije podne. I/2 poslije podne. PT from ringside at Principality Stadium where nearly 80,000 fans will match boxing’s all-time indoor attendance record, initially set in 2017 in Joshua’s title defense against Carlos Takam at the same venue.

 

 

 

Joshua (20-0, 20 KOs) scaled his lightest in 10 tuče, i više od 10 pounds lighter than his October 2017 defense of the IBF and WBA titles, while Parker (24-0, 18 KOs) mjeriti 10 pounds lighter than all three of his world championship bouts.

 

 

 

“Carrying around a bit of extra weight makes things difficult,” Joshua said. “I’ve been running well, training well. There’s been tough times in camp, but losing that little bit of extra weight has made things that little bit easier.

 

 

 

“It’s a perfect weight for the fighter I’m about to face tomorrow because he’s nimble and he’s quick. I’ve got boxing skill and I can control him, but I think the lighter I am the more I’ll be able to match him for speed.”

 

 

 

Parker, who will make his third defense as champion, took note of Joshua’s lighter weight.

 

 

 

"(Joshua’s weight) makes me think that he’s taking the fight very seriously,” Parker said. “There’s not much of a weight difference, što je dobro. I think we’re both going to be fast tomorrow night. We’re both going to move well and throw some big bombs.

 

 

 

“I saw confidence in Joshua. He’s a good champion. I saw confidence so I’m expecting a really good fight.”

 

 

 

American Steve Weisfeld, New Zealand’s Ian Scott and Britain’s Steve Gray have been assigned as the three judges scoring from ringside. The third man in the ring will be Italy’s Giuseppe Quartarone.

 

 

 

“I’m not worried about a decision,” Parker said. “We’ve done everything we can in training to prepare. The biggest thing for me is the challenge of fighting someone like Joshua. If it goes into a dark place, how long will I stay there for? How fast can I come back?

 

 

 

“I’m here for a good fight. I’m here for a war. You’re going to have to give everything to beat me.”

 

 

 

The massive global event will be watched in more than 215 territories throughout the world, a distribution figure that is on par with some of the biggest boxing events in history.

 

 

 

“You have to remember that even though I’m heavyweight champion of the world, there’s another belt I’m fighting for. U mojoj glavi, I’m a challenger,” Joshua said. “Scrap my belts. I’m challenging for the WBO heavyweight championship of the world. That’s what I’m going for and that’s what my mindset is. Gladan sam. I’m determined. I’m willing to go the distance or I’m willing to take risks and take him out early. I just want to secure that win one way or another.”

 

 

 

This will be just the 11th unification in heavyweight history. Previous winners of unifications include Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko. The last fighter to win a unification between undefeated champions was Mike Tyson in 1987.

 

 

 

“These wins are creating history,” Joshua said. “This type of fight where two champions who are undefeated come together is history. The last person to win was Mike Tyson thirty years ago. If I do win, I haven’t spoken about it much, but providing I do get this win we’re going to set history in late 2018. I’ll become undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.”

The near-capacity crowd at the National Concert Hall of Wales is a prelude to the record-tying audience expected at Principality Stadiumu subotu where nearly 80,000 fans will match boxing’s all-time indoor attendance record, initially set in 2017 in Joshua’s title defense against Carlos Takam at the same venue.

 

 

The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast begins live at 5 poslije podne. I/2 poslije podne. PT from ringside in Cardiff as IBF and WBA Champion Joshua (20-0, 20 KOs) and WBO Champion Parker (24-0, 18 KOs) meet in just the second unification between undefeated heavyweight champions in history.

 

 

The 6-foot-6 Joshua will make his fifth defense as champion against the 6-foot-4 Parker, who defends his title for the third time. Joshua owns a 100 percent knockout ratio while Parker has never been knocked down as an amateur or professional.

 

 

Here’s what the fighters had to say on Wednesday:

 

ANTHONY JOSHUA:

 

“This is bigger than last time. Boxing is bigger than ever right now. This is the golden era and I’m happy to be a part of it.

 

 

“It’s good news that he wants a war. U boksu, all you need is a good chin and a right hand but I’ve been working on finesse, tehnika, counter punching. I hope Joseph Parker falls into my booby traps because I’m going to set him up with some power shots as well. Da, I’ll be up for a war. I’ll hopefully be up for some blood, znoj, and cheers from my corner.

 

 

“Physically I believe in my ability. I’m focused and I understand it’s a boxing match and the people are expecting the pinnacle of boxing. Hopefully they’ll be able to see me through to victory.

 

 

“You need to still keep that challenger’s mind-set. I’m still the challenger in my head, and sometimes I don’t want to be seen with the belts around me too much. Now that I’m the hunted, it’s no time to just put my feet up and relax. I’m out there defending my throne u subotu noć.

 

 

“I can’t worry about it [future bouts]. Subota night is where it’s at. Subota night is big enough. Subota night is massive.”

 

JOSEPH PARKER:

 

“Since we’ve been here we’ve been welcomed with open arms. I expect a good crowd, a fair crowd. There are a lot of people supporting Joshua here, but we have a lot of support back home. It’s great to see all my family and friends here, and we’ve got some support here, kao.

 

 

“All Black (New Zealand rugby) style has always done well here in Wales, so I’m looking to keep that record clean.”

 

 

“I think some of the things our team has said has gotten under his skin. I’m not unhappy. He looks a little unhappy and a little tense. I think everyone’s different in how they approach a fight. We’re quite relaxed and calm. I’m excited about this fight, but it’s a controlled excitement.

 

 

“Klitschko’s a great fighter and champion who we respect, but Klitschko is Klitschko. I’m a different story altogether. I’m young and hungry, I’m fit and strong and I got my speed back. I will show that u subotu.

 

 

“I’ve got the speed, snaga, skills, tehnika, all of the above.

 

 

“See you soon, [Anthony Joshua]. Let’s go to war!"
