Atlantic City, Nueva Jersey (Noviembre 1, 2018) – El peso mediano Isiah Seldon se está preparando para la pelea más grande de su carrera cuando se enfrente al invicto Tyler Howard en una pelea programada para ocho asaltos el 16 de noviembre en el Chesapeake Energy Arena en Oklahoma City..

El evento principal verá al campeón de peso welter junior de la OMB, Maurice Hooker, defendiendo contra Alex Saucedo..

 

 

 

Seldon (12-1-1, 4 KOs) ha estado entrenando en Atlantic City bajo la atenta mirada de Bill Johnson.

 

 

 

“Espero con ansias esta gran oportunidad,” dijo Seldon. “He estado anhelando la oportunidad de enfrentarme a un luchador como Howard, ya que una victoria llevará mi carrera al siguiente nivel.”

 

 

 

Equipo Seldon, ha estado trabajando diligentemente con el gerente Jim Kurtz desde hace mucho tiempo, muy emocionado por la oportunidad que Seldon tiene frente a él.

 

 

 

“No hay nada más grande que pelear en un programa de Top Rank con un evento principal explosivo entre Hooker y Saucedo.. El personal de Top Rank ha sido de primera categoría. Estoy muy emocionado de que Isiah tenga esta oportunidad de mostrar su talento en un gran escenario.. Yo y el co-manager Joe Thompson estamos convencidos de que Isiah está listo para brillar el 16 de noviembre y no puede llegar lo suficientemente rápido,” dijo Kurtz, quien ha manejado a Seldon desde el primer día.

 

 

 

Kurtz también dirigió al padre de Seldon, Campeón de peso pesado de la AMB, Bruce Seldon.

 

 

 

“Isiah se ha reunido con su entrenador original Bill Johnson y no han perdido el ritmo. Esta es la primera vez que Isiah ha tenido un campo de entrenamiento completo.. No hemos dejado piedra sin remover en preparación para esta pelea.. El condicionamiento de Isiah está en un punto que nunca antes había visto con él.. Está obteniendo un gran combate y su mejora trabajando con Bill en la preparación para esta pelea ha sido increíble.. Está listo para mostrarle al mundo un Isiah Seldon nuevo y mejorado.. Tiene un gran legado por seguir siendo el hijo del ex campeón de peso pesado de la AMB Bruce Seldon, pero Isiah está decidido a dejar su propia huella en el deporte del boxeo.”

 

 

 

“Siempre ha tenido el poder en ambas manos, anotar derribo en casi todas las peleas, pero ahora está aprendiendo a mantener la calma y terminar con los chicos en lugar de emocionarse demasiado y dejarlos salir del anzuelo.. Está golpeando más fuerte que nunca, juntando sus golpes y su habilidad de boxeo ha alcanzado un nivel en el que puede controlar el ritmo de la pelea. Nos lo hemos tomado con calma con Isiah considerando que no tuvo peleas de aficionados, pero ahora estamos en el punto en el que está listo para dejar su huella en la división de peso mediano.”

 

 

 

“Sabemos que Tyler Howard es un buen luchador invicto. Tuvo una buena carrera amateur, viene de una familia con antecedentes de boxeo, y cuenta con un sólido equipo directivo que ha hecho un gran trabajo con él. El 16 de noviembre esperamos una pelea dura con algunos fuegos artificiales, pero confiamos en que Isiah saldrá victorioso y esto nos llevará a oportunidades más grandes y mejores.”

Maurice Hooker Scores Split-Decision Upset Victory Over Terry Flanagan For WBO 140-Pound World Championship Belt

LOS ANGELES (Junio 9, 2018) – Former Unified Heavyweight World Champion Tyson Fury scored a fourth-round TKO over Sefer Seferi at Manchester Arena in Manchester, Inglaterra, on Saturday in a bout that was streamed live to U.S. audiences via SHOWTIME Sports social media platforms.

 

 

 

The 6-foot-9, 275-plus pound Fury, who outweighed Seferi by more than 65 pounds following Friday’s weigh-in, looked rusty in the scheduled 10-rounder, his first bout in more than 31 meses. Seferi sat on his stool after four completed rounds and did not answer the bell for round five.

 

 

 

Furia (26-0, 19 KOs) playfully bounced around for the first few rounds, and was even warned for a lack of activity in the second round against a severely undermanned Seferi (23-2, 21 KOs). Fury is likely to face a tougher opponent in his next fight set for September in a division currently ruled by world title holders Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder.

 

 

 

Fury’s return to the ring came after 924 days of inactivity due to bouts of depression and admitted drug use following an upset victory over Wladimir Klitschko to take Klitschko’s WBA, IBF and WBO world titles.

 

 

 

In a fight that preceded Fury-Seferi, undefeated American Maurice Hooker won a split-decision upset victory over hometown favorite Terry Flanagan to capture the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight World Championship belt. Las puntuaciones fueron 117-111, 115-113 for Hooker, y 117-111 for Flanagan.

 

 

 

With blood streaming down his face, the former lightweight title holder Flanagan (33-1, 13 KOs), who suffered a deep cut on the forehead after an accidental head butt in the seventh round, couldn’t overcome the aggressive Hooker (24-0-3, 16 KOs), who just like training partner Errol Spence Jr., had to travel overseas to win his first world title.

 

 

 

Puta, a 28-years-old Dallas native, was fighting for the first time outside of the United States against Flanagan, who was a 135-pound champion for three years with five defenses before moving up to the 140-pound class.

 

 

 

Con la victoria, Hooker became the 76º ShoBox: La Nueva Generación alum to win a world title, joining the likes of Spence and Wilder.

 

 

 

Boxing broadcaster Ray Flores and analyst Chris Mannix delivered pre and post-fight analysis from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles for the SHOWTIME Sports audience.

 

 

 

Later on Saturday night, WBA Super Featherweight World Champion Leo Santa Cruz will rematch former three-division world champion Abner Mares en SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® (10 p.m. ET/PT delayed on the West Coast) from Staples Center in Los Angeles. En la apertura de la transmisión por televisión, Houston’s Jermell Charlo will defend his WBC Super Welterweight World Title against former world champion Austin trucha.

Here’s what Flanagan and Hooker had to say on Thursday:

 

Terry Flanagan

“I’m more than ready. I’ve prepared well, and I’m expecting a good night.”

 

 

 

“Of course he believes in himself, like the last few Americans that have come over. He’s just another American I’m going to add to the list.”

 

 

 

“I’m confident. I’m stronger and I’m bigger, fitter.”

 

 

 

“I’m more than ready. I know what he’s going to bring, and I’m prepared for the best Maurice Hooker. … I think I need to step up now and show people what I’m about.”

 

(On moving up a weight class) “It’s five pounds, it’s nothing. I’m plenty big enough to move up again. I’m 5-foot-10. I’m big, Soy fuerte, I’m ready for this weight. This is my natural weight. … I’ll get a title at this weight and then see what happens from there.”

 

 

 

“There’s nothing he can do now or that I can do now to change how the fight is going to go. It’s all about getting in there and being 100 percent switched on ready, and we’re going to have a fight Saturday night.”

 

Maurice Hooker

“I love being the underdog – I’ve been the underdog my whole life, and look where I’m at now. I’m ready to fight Saturday, and Terry’s ready to fight. I’m going to punch him in the mouth, and I hope he punches me back – if not, he’s in trouble.”

 

 

 

“We’re going to put on a good show come Saturday night. He’s in good shape, and I’m in good shape. Podemos ir 12 rounds real hard, or it might be an early night for Terry.”

 

 

 

“I’m back now and better than ever. I’m ready to show the whole world who I am. Before that fight with Darleys Perez, everybody was scared to fight me. I’m still that monster, I’m still that dog. Ven sábado por la noche, I’m going to punch him in the mouth and I might knock him out in the first round.”

 

 

 

“Come Saturday night, I pray for him, because I mean business when I get in that ring.”

 

 

 

“It’s my best against his best. We’ve got a fight Saturday night, so don’t blink.”

EDMONTON, Canadá (Junio 5, 2018) – Canadian boxing fans will have the opportunity to watch the long-awaited return of the“Rey gitano,” undefeated former unified heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury este sábado contra Sefer “El trato real” expedición en el evento principal a 10 asaltos, airing in Canada exclusively on Super Channel, live from Manchester Arena in Manchester, Reino Unido.
Está de vuelta: furia vs. expedición, presentado por Queensbury Promotions de Frank Warren, se transmitirá exclusivamente en Super Channel en todo Canadá, a partir de 2:00 p.m. Y / 11:00 a.m. PT.
“We couldn’t be more excited to be bringing this highly anticipated bout marking the return of Tyson Fury to the boxing world, to our viewers,” said Don McDonald, Presidente y CEO, super Channel. “This is exactly the type of exclusive content that Canadian boxing fans have come to expect from Super Channel Sports and is a welcome addition to our growing catalogue of marquee boxing events.”
Perhaps boxing’s most polarizing figure, Furia (25-0, 15 KOs) has been sidelined with mental health issues for the past 2 ½ años, after shocking the boxing world November 28, 2015, when he defeated future Hall of Famer Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs) por medio de una decisión unánime de 10 asaltos (116-111, 115-112, 115-112).
El 6′ 9″ Fury became the undisputed world heavyweight champion, securing the IBF, AMB, OMB, IBO and El Anillo campeonatos, only to be stripped and/or relinquish his title belts without a single defense.
(L-R) – En su última pelea, Tyson Fury upset Wladimir Klitschko
Canadian boxing fans are more than familiar with Fury, who held his extended training camp in Canada, at Hotel Lac Leamy in Gatineau, prior to his April 20, 2013 fight at famed Madison Square Garden in New York City, in which he stopped multiple world champion Steve Cunningham en la séptima ronda.
“I can’t wait to get in there and prove that I’m a better fighter than I’ve ever been,” the charismatic Fury said. “I’m coming into the prime of my career now and I’ve never felt better. I’m fitter, stronger and faster than the Fury of 2015.
“It’s going to be a huge night for the City of Manchester (where Fury was born). I’m delighted to be fighting at the iconic Manchester Arena for the first time in my career. I’m promising the fans a special performance to thank them for their loyal support.”
expedición, fighting out of Albania, has suffered only one loss during his otherwise perfect 11-year pro boxing career, losing a 10-round decision in 2016 to future WBA heavyweight world champion Manuel Charr (29-4) for the vacant WBA International crown.
“This is going to be a hard fight for Fury,” Seferi predicted. “I’m very disciplined and always ready to take on everyone and anyone. This will not be an easy night for him. I’m coming to Manchester to beat one of the boxing legends of the 21st century.
“He is tall and strong, but he won’t be ready for the pressure that I will bring. Two-and-one-half years out of the ring is a long time and nobody knows if he is still the same fighter that dethroned Wladimir Klitschko. I am going to seize the opportunity with both hands.”
The 12-round co-feature features local hero, undefeated Brit Terry “Turbo” Flanagan (33-0, 13 KOs), in his bid to become a two-division world champion, versus unbeaten American Maurice “Mighty Mo” Puta (23-0-3, 16 KOs) for the vacant WBO super-lightweight world title.

Fury To Face Sefer Seferi; Terry Flanagan To Face Maurice Hooker For Vacant 140-Pound World Title

Sábado, Junio 9 Live on SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel and SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook Page

 

NUEVA YORK (Junio 4, 2018) – SHOWTIME Sports has secured the U.S. rights to stream the long-awaited return of former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, que se enfrentará a Sefer Seferi in a 10-round heavyweight bout Saturday, Junio 9 desde el Manchester Arena. SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNACIONAL® will stream live exclusively to U.S. audiences on the SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook page and SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel beginning at 4:30 p.m. Y/1:30 p.m. PT.

 

 

 

En la pelea de apertura, héroe local Terry Flanagan (33-0, 13 Nocáuts) will look to become a two-division world champion when he clashes with unbeaten American Maurice Hooker (23-0-3, 16 Nocáuts) for the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight crown. This will be the fourth live streaming boxing event this year on SHOWTIME Sports social media platforms.

 

 

 

Live coverage for the Frank Warren promoted event will be provided by BT Sport and BoxNation with U.K. sportscasters John Rawling providing the blow-by-blow and Richie Woodhall the analysis. Boxing broadcaster Ray Flores y analista Chris Mannix will deliver pre-fight and post-fight analysis from Staples Center in Los Angeles for the SHOWTIME Sports audience.

 

 

 

The live stream of Fury vs. Seferi will precede that evening’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® doubleheader that features WBA Featherweight World Champion Leo Santa Cruz in a rematch against fellow three-division world champion Abner Mares live on SHOWTIME (10 p.m. ET / PT, delayed in the West Coast) from Staples Center. En la pelea co-estelar, Jermell Charlo will face Austin Trout for the WBC Super Welterweight World Championship.

 

 

 

Furia (25-0, 18 KOs), a former WBA, WBO and IBF Heavyweight World Champion will end a two-years-and-seven-months exile from the sport on June 9. Fury has been inactive since outpointing Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf in November 2015 debido a una lesión, personal problems and a doping ban.

 

 

 

“I’m the fittest I’ve ever been,"Dijo Fury, who has teamed up with new trainer Ben Davison. “Timing, reflexes, everything is better than it’s ever been. I kid you not. Estoy 29 años, coming into the prime of my life, I’m stronger and faster, holding more muscle mass than ever. I’m more confident looking at the competition.”

 

 

 

Albania’s Seferi (23-1, 21 KOs) is a 39-year-old Switzerland-based cruiserweight who is stepping up in weight and opposition when he faces the 6-foot-9 Fury. Seferi’s sole loss came in 2016 in a heavyweight bout against now-secondary WBA heavyweight champ Manuel Charr.

 

 

 

“This is going to be a hard fight for Fury,” said Seferi. “Two-and-a-half years out of the ring is a long time and nobody knows if he is still the same fighter that dethroned Wladimir Klitschko.”

 

 

 

Flanagan, the first Englishman to earn a lightweight world title, will seek to capture a title in a second weight class just days away from his 29º cumpleaños. Puta, a southpaw from Dallas, Texas and ShoBox alum, has been training with Terence Crawford. Hooker will look to follow in the footsteps of fellow Dallas resident Errol Spence Jr., who went to Kell Brook’s hometown of Sheffield, England to capture his first world championship.

Last January in China, Zhimin defeated Aekkawee Kaewmanee (16-6), by way of a 10-round unanimous decision for the vacant WBO Oriental crown. The only blemish on Zhimin’s otherwise perfect pro record is a 10-round loss by decision last September, to then 12-0 Russian prospect Ivan Baranchyk in Oklahoma.

“I honestly felt that Haro vs. Franco was a legitimate main event fight as the co-feature,” promoter John Andersen. “Injuries are an unfortunate part of boxing and we’re disappointed to lose a world-class fighter like Hooker. Ahora, aunque, Haro-Franco gets top billing and we’re fortunate to have a solid co-feature added to a very competitive, entertaining card.”

The TV opener features Chicago super bantamweight prospect John Mioletti (7-0, 1 KO) enfrentarse a las vegas’ trastornado Sal Lopez (4-1) en un combate a seis asaltos. In a pair of four-round undercard matches, Sioux City, Iowa cruiserweight Shalyn Joseph will make his pro debut against Chicago’s Darrius Flowers (0-1), while Sioux Falls, South Dakota super welterweightKeith Cournoyer (0-0-1), se cuadra con Justin Likeness, of Minot, Dakota del Norte.

PARA PUBLICACION INMEDIATA
Junio 10 live from Iowa on CBS Sports Network
SLOAN, Iowa (Mayo 9, 2017) – Professional boxing returns Sábado, Junio 10, to WinnaVegas Casino Resort, featuring undefeated junior welterweight Maurice “Mighty Mo” Puta, en el “KO Noche de Boxeo: WAR In WinnaVegas” tarjeta, al aire (10 p.m. Y / 7 p.m. PT) on CBS Sports Network live from Sloan, Iowa.
“KO Noche de Boxeo: WAR In WinnaVegas” is presented by KO Night Boxing LLC, in association with Roc Nation Sports, Ringside Ticket Inc. and WinnaVegas Resort Casino. TITLE Boxing is the official gloves provider for KO Night Boxing.
“This is a great opportunity for ‘KO Night Boxing, LLC’ to expand our brand to another state,” promoter John Andersen said. “We’re very happy to be coming to WinnaVegas and working with Mayan Beltran and his team. We’re kicking this new relationship off in a big way with these two regional title fights on CBS Sports Network. We hope that this is just the start of a long-lasting relationship between KO Night Boxing and WinnaVegas.
“The principal fighters in the two nationally televised fights are all on the verge of breaking out to become stars. A lot is at risk for all of them. Our promotional company is known for giving a platform to top prospects in highly entertaining, competitive matches that boxing fans love watching, whether they’re in the arena or watching on CBS Sports Network.”
“I am very excited to have CBS Sports Network boxing back at WinnaVegas Casino Resort,” CEO Mayan Beltran commented. “Our fans really like boxing and it looks like we have a great fight card, so it should be a fun night. I am looking forward to working with promoters KO Night Boxing LLC, Neon Star SE, Roc Nation Sports and, como siempre, Ringside Ticket Inc., to deliver this exciting night of entertainment.”
Roc Nation Deportes’ Puta (22-0-3, 16 KOs) will defend his North American Boxing Organization (LOS VECINOS) junior welterweight against title challenger Abdiel “Mortero” Ramírez (23-1-1, 21 KOs) en el evento principal a 10 asaltos.
Luchando fuera de Dallas, Hooker is world rated at No. 2 por la Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB), y n. 4 por la Federación Internacional de Boxeo (FIB). The 27-year-old Hooker was a decorated amateur boxer in Texas, terminando con un 97-7 (67 KOs) registro, who turned pro in 2011.
Hooker first captured the vacant NABO title in 2015, at home in Dallas, with a six-round technical knockout of previously unbeaten Eduardo Galindo (10-0-1). Desde, Hooker has made three successful title defenses against Ghislain Maduma (17-1) at the famed Madison Square Garden on Nov. 17, 2015, Ty Barnett (23-5-1) at Oracle Arena on August 6, 2016; and in a 10-round draw with former World Boxing Association (AMB) Campeón mundial Darleys Pérez (33-2-1) on undercard of Sergey Kovalev vs. Andre Ward “Pound-For-Pound” on Mov. 19 in Las Vegas.
In his most recent fight on Febrero. 25 en México, Hooker cruised to a dominant 10-round decision victory over former IBF World Champion Cristóbal Cruz (41-20-4).
Ramírez, 25, is a former FECOMBOX Lightweight Champion, fighting out of Ciudad Juarez, México. Ramírez, who is riding a nine-fight win streak, will be fighting outside of his native Mexico for the first time against Hooker.
The 10-round co-feature for the vacant United States Boxing Association (USBA) featherweight crown has been in the works for a while and it could very well steal the show as former USBA champion Daniel “Twitch” Franco adquiere Jose Haro.
The 25-year-old Franco (15-1-3, 10 KOs), fighting out of Rancho Cucamonga, California, started boxing at the age of eight, acumulando un récord amateur de 67-15, destacada por actuaciones de medallas de oro en el 2006 Oxnard PAL Championships and 2017 California State Silver Gloves Championships.
Fighting under the Roc Nation Sports banner, Franco captured the vacant USBA featherweight title last November, noqueando previamente invicto Derrick Murray (13-0-1) en cuatro rondas. Franco was stopped in his last fight by veteran Christopher Martin (29-8-3) in the third round of their non-title fight in Los Angeles on Marzo 23. Franco is currently rated No. 5 by the USBA and No. 11 by the NABO.
USBA No. 14-rated Haro (13-1-1, 7 KOs), who is a well-kept secret outside of West Jordan, Utah, is an all-action fighter. The 29-year-old has won his last five fights, unbeaten in in his last six with a draw, since suffering his only loss to highly-touted prospect Toka Kahn Clary (11-0) by way of a six-round decision in 2014.
