Boxing Superstar Claressa Shields has Street She Grew up on in Flint Honorarily Renamed After Her

Salita Promotions congratulates fighting superstar Claressa Shields for having the street she grew up on in Flint, Мичиган, honorarily dedicated in her name by City of Flint Mayor Sheldon Neely. Last Sunday, Шийлдс, 26, was presented the accolade, which turned Spencer Street into Claressa Shields Street, at her Joy Tabernacle Church, where Shields was a guest speaker.


Mayor Neely says he’s overjoyed to be able to bestow the honor on the city’s fighting legend and says the next steps are to determine if it will be a ceremonial name change or an official name change. Ceremonial would mean adding Shield’s name to the existing name and official would mean the removal of the existing street name and replacing it with Shield’s name.


Claressa continues to make us all proud while exemplifying what it means to be a true champion,” said Mayor Neely. “She has accomplished so much, remains connected to this community and we just want to honor her. This street dedication is well-deserved.”


Шийлдс (11-0, 2 Нокаута), a two-time Olympic gold medal winner, three-division professional boxing champion, the first fighter, мъж или жена, to unify championships in two divisions and the fastest boxer in history to win titles in three different weight divisions, says this award is especially touching for her.


“I could not be happier today y’all!” said Shields on Twitter. “I had a great time at church! So thankful to everyone who came out to worship with me today! I was surprised by the Mayor of Flint! The street I grew up on Spencer street is being named after me ‘Claressa Shields Street.’ My grandma would be so PROUD!!!! I delivered a great message today! I feel so special!!! I’m overjoyed.”


“This is a well-deserved honor for a woman and fighter who has done a lot to help and support her home city,” said Shields’ promoter, Dmitriy Salita of Salita Promotions. “She never stops working toward success in her career or as a public figure with an inspiring message. Salita Promotions is proud to represent her.”

Тренировъчният лагер почти завършен; Уверена и натежала Клареса Щитове, готова за Хана Ранкин DAZN Showdown на ноември 17

Суперзвездата на жените и двудивизионната световна шампионка Клареса Шийлдс е във Флорида с треньора Джон Дейвид Джаксън, довършвайки подготовката за нейния разбор с Глазгоу, Шотландската Hannahh Rankin в събота, Ноември 17, в Kansas Star Arena и казино в Mulvane, Канзас.

 

 

 

Шийлдс (6-0, 2 Нокаута) ще защитава световното си първенство в средна категория на IBF и WBA, и търсете да добавите свободното заглавие на WBC, срещу Ранкин (5-2, 1 KO) в 10-рундния съвместен двубой за стабилния партньор на Salita Promotions Jarrell Miller в тежка категория срещу румънеца Богдан Дину.

 

 

 

И двете битки, заедно с бившия световен шампион Брандън Риос, който поема брат на Канело, Рамон Алварес, в супер полусредна категория на 10 кръга и бивш двукратен претендент за световната титла в средна категория Габриел Росадо срещу бития веднъж претендент Луис Ариас, ще се излъчва на живо по DAZN.

 

 

 

23-годишни щитове, бивш двукратен олимпийски златен медалист, възвърна интереса си към женския бокс и се превърна в любимец на рейтингите си за националните си телевизионни подвизи. Горд родом от Флинт, Мичиган, Shields смесва нейните нахални изявления за величие с истински и непрекъснати усилия да вдъхновява спортистките и да оказва помощ на членовете на домашната си общност.

 

 

 

Първоначално Shields трябваше да се изправи срещу WBC и WBO Световната шампионка в средна категория Кристина Хамър през ноември 17, но двубоят беше отложен, след като Хамър се оттегли поради медицински причини.

 

Промяната на противниците от Hammer на Rankin повлия ли на тренировката ви?

 

 

 

Не тренирам за опонентите си, Просто натискам, за да извлека най-доброто от мен, физически и психически. Ако съм най-добрият „аз“,’Не трябва да се притеснявам кой е съперникът. Смяната на противниците изобщо не ме притесни; най-лошото в този лагер за мен бяха просто всички промени в датите - непрекъснато трябваше да фокусирам ума си върху темпото и времето на тренировка в зависимост от датата на битката. Нямам търпение да вляза на ринга!

 

Били сте се в супер средна категория 168 и наскоро в средна категория 160 паунда. Как е вашето обучение, диета и всякакви други усилия, различни за полагане 160?

 

 

 

Обучението винаги е трудно и аз непрекъснато се уча. В този лагер имах напълно различна диета - истинска промяна и положителна за мен. Обединих се с Perfecting Athlete за ежедневното ми хранене, и се чувствам страхотно. Винаги съм се опитвал да се храня здравословно, но тези хора са професионалисти и са по-образовани в тази област от мен самия. Имам тази вълшебна напитка, която кара стомаха ми да се усмихва - обичам го! Това е диня, смесена със зелен зеленчук. Няма да ви казвам какъв е зеленчукът, но го пия всеки ден, и се чувствам СТРАХОТНО.

 

Вашите зрителски номера са много силни. Защо мислите, че хората са привлечени от вас?

 

 

 

Вярвам, че хората са привлечени от това колко съм истински и честен, в и извън ринга. Казвам това, което имам предвид и имам предвид това, което казвам. Твърд съм, но имам и мека страна. И мисля, че хората са привлечени от това как се бия — не само говоря добра игра, но и се боря с моите a– изключване също! аз давам 1000% всеки път - искам да променя играта и да въведа изцяло ново поколение фенове в женския бокс и бокса като цяло.

 

Какво знаете за опонента си Хана Ранкин?

 

 

 

Знам, че моят противник Ранкин е много корав и решен да бъде световен шампион. Харесвам нейното шофиране, Харесвам сърцето й. Знам, че тя е била на ринга като спаринг партньор за много шампиони, едната е Кристина Хамър. Така че Ранкин е видял някои добри бойци. Но едно е сигурно - тя никога не е виждала боец ​​като мен. И тъй като Хамър не можеше да се бие поради нейното медицинско състояние, в много отношения следващото най-добро нещо е да се биете и да биете спаринг партньора си и да оставите Ранкин да каже на Хамър за какво се занимава, когато се върне!

 

Какво трябва да се направи, за да се реши кризата с водата във Флинт?

 

 

За разрешаване на кремъчната криза с водата, Мисля, че хората трябва да продължат да дават вода и да я държат в новините, че има град в Америка, където, невероятно, Гражданите на САЩ нямат чиста вода. И дано президентът или нашият губернатор направят нещо, за да поправят всички тръби.

 

Каква е тайната да станеш най-добрият от най-добрите във всеки спорт?

 

 

 

Вярвам, че тайната започва с вярването в себе си, да бъдеш посветен, работим усилено и просто винаги се стремим да бъдем по-добри. Чувствам се най-големият ми критик, когато тренирам и боксирам. Трудно е да гледам филм за моите битки, защото въпреки че го правя 97 Нещата са правилни, просто не мога да понасям 3 неща, които правя погрешно. Аз съм човек, който се стреми да извлече пълния си потенциал. Необходими са смелости, за да бъдеш страхотен. Нищо няма да попречи на постигането на целите ми, което включва да бъдеш GWOAT и да създаваш равенство за всички жени бойци, що се отнася до парите, възможности и покритие, което мъжете получават.

O’Quinn Wins Again! Undefeated Detroit Bantamweight Sends Mexico’s Esquivel Through the Ropes in Second Round TKO Victory

Undefeated bantamweight prospect Ja’Rico “Great Lakes King” O’Quinn continued building his reputation as one of Detroit’s most promising young fighters on Friday night with a second-round stoppage of former world-title challenger Christian “Italiano” Esquivel of Mexico.

 

 

 

Fighting at the MotorCity Casino Hotel in Detroit, O’Quinn (сега 10-0-1, 7 Нокаута) showed why he is so highly regarded by sending Esquivel through the ropes for a TKO victory at 2:56 на втори кръг.

 

 

 

Esquivel, a former NABF, WBC Continental Americas, WBC Youth Intercontinental, WBC FECOMBOX, and WBC Silver Bantamweight Champion, had no answer to the fast and powerful hands of O’Quinn. He falls to 30-16-1, 23 Нокаута.

 

 

 

“Christian Esquivel was a world title challenger and an experienced fighter. My goal was to make a statement,” said a happy O’Quinn, след мача. “I did what was expected of me and rose to the occasion. I’m looking forward to having another impressive win before the year’s ends and starting next year with my TV debut. I am bringing world championship glory back to the city of Detroit. It’s just a matter of time!"

 

 

 

O’Quinn’s promoter, Дмитрий Salita, said he expected a strong showing from O’Quinn and says he got even more than he hoped for from the 23-year-old.

 

 

 

“Ja’Rico is one of the most gifted prospects in all of boxing! I was very impressed with his dominating performance. He is on his way to winning a world title and joining the list of the great champions from the city of Detroit.”

Клареса Шийлдс за жени да защитава шампионата на IBF и WBA в средна категория и иска да добави пояс на WBC срещу шотландката Хана Ранкин, На живо по DAZN през ноември 17

В събота, Ноември 17, в Kansas Star Arena и казино в Mulvane, Канзас, суперзвезда двудивизионна световна шампионка за жени Клареса Шийлдс от Флинт, Мичиган, ще защити своето световно първенство в средна категория по IBF и WBA и ще се опита да добави вакантната титла на WBC срещу Hannahh Rankin от Глазгоу, Шотландия.

 

 

 

10-кръглите щитове (6-0, 2 Нокаута), и Ранкин (5-2, 1 KO) битката ще послужи като съвместен двубой за родения в Бруклин претендент в тежка категория на Джарел Милър срещу WMA в руската игра Богдан Дину.

 

 

 

Тези две битки ще бъдат излъчени на живо по DAZN, заедно с бившия световен шампион Брандън Риос, който поема брат на Канело, Рамон Алварес, в супер полусредна категория на 10 кръга и бивш двукратен претендент за световната титла в средна категория Габриел Росадо срещу бития веднъж претендент Луис Ариас.

 

 

 

Първоначално Shields трябваше да се изправи срещу WBC и WBO Световната шампионка в средна категория Кристина Хамър през ноември 17, но двубоят беше отложен, след като Хамър се оттегли поради медицински причини. Хамър е обявен за шампион в почивка по време на възстановяването си. Двамата шампиони се очаква да се бият през първата четвърт на 2019.

 

 

 

„Клареса е атлет веднъж в поколението, който надхвърля спорта,- каза нейният промоутър, Дмитрий Salita. „Тя ще направи още една стъпка в целта си да постигне статут на GWOAT, докато прави първата защита на световните си титли в средна категория срещу квалифицираната и издръжлива Хана Ранкин.“

 

 

 

Добросъвестна женска суперзвезда и любимец на телевизионните рейтинги, 23-годишният "T-Rex" Shields е двукратен олимпийски златен медалист и вече световен шампион в две тежести. В четвъртия си професионален бой, тя спечели шампионата на IBF и WBC в супер средна категория през август 2017 с доминираща спирка на германката Ники Адлер. След това, през юни тази година и само в шестата й професионална битка, тя падна до 160 лири и спечели титлите на IBF и WBA в средна категория с вълнуващо единодушно решение над Хана Габриелс.

 

 

 

"Толкова съм развълнуван, че мога да дам на феновете си още един шанс да ме видят да защитавам първенството си тази година и да имам възможност да спечеля титлата в средна категория на WBC на 17 ноември", каза Шийлдс. „Оценявам усилията на Salita Promotions, моят мениджър Марк Тафет, и Matchroom Boxing, за да организираме тази битка толкова бързо. Ще бъда в отлична форма и ще осигуря страхотно представяне. "

 

 

 

„Искам да благодаря на Salita Promotions и Matchroom Boxing, че предостави на Claressa още един шанс за битка тази година и възможност да постигне трето световно първенство в средна категория,- каза Марк Тафет, управител на Клареса Шийлдс. „Клареса е гладна и мотивирана да направи страхотно представяне на ноември 17 на DAZN. Claressa has lofty goals and I have no doubt that she’s going to achieve every one of them, including fighting and defeating Christina Hammer early next year. I expect Shields vs Rankin to be an action-packed fight that fans will enjoy tremendously.

 

 

 

28-year-old Rankin put in an impressive and brave performance while losing a challenge for Alicia Napoleon’s WBA Super Middleweight Championship in August of this year. Преди това, she picked up the WBC Silver Middleweight Championship with a dominant victory over Finland’s Sanna Turunen in June.

 

 

 

“I’m excited about the fight and proud to be representing Scotland on such a big stage,” said Rankin. “In boxing, nothing is impossible and on November 17, it will be just us in there when the bell rings and I think it’s going to be one hell of a fight.”

Tyner and Chambliss Grudge Match Ready to Explode on October 26 в Детройт

В бокса, there are “grudge” matches manufactured to sell fights, where the hostility is mostly acting. Например, there are indications of that in the buildup to Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury’s upcoming showdown.

 

 

 

And then sometimes, two fighters really, really don’t like each other. Think Terence Crawford taking out Jose Benavidez Jr., recently.

 

 

 

In Detroit, the latter type of grudge match, a real grudge match, has heated to a boil on social media. With insults and threats going back-and-forth daily, outspoken Detroit boxing staple Lanardo “Pain Server” Tyner (34-13-2, 21 Нокаута) and upstart opponent Cortez Chambliss (4-0, 4 Нокаута) have been escalating hostilities since the day their match-up was announced.

 

 

 

The two Detroit-based welterweights will finally settle their differences in the eight-round main event on Friday, Октомври 26, at the MotorCity Casino Hotel.

 

Tickets priced between $180-$25 and are available through Ticketmaster outlets.

 

 

 

“He’s trying to bunny hop over me, but he’s not ready,” said an animated Tyner. The 43-year-old is known as a fearless and iron-jawed spoiler. A 14-year veteran, Tyner has been the 12-round distance with elite superstar Canelo Alvarez and world champions such as Lamont Peterson and Antonio DeMarco. He’s also taken out a number of prospects who found out too late they were in too deep.

 

 

 

“I can’t believe he even called me out,” continued Tyner. “He’s going to get a beating. This isn’t the amateurs and there are no shortcuts. This is not the door to come through.”

 

 

 

A heavily decorated former amateur, 21-year-old Chambliss has been flawless, досега, като професионалист. With power in both hands and above-average speed, Chambliss looks like a new face in the resurgent Motown boxing scene.

 

 

 

“This fight is personal to me,"Той каза. “Not for the same reasons as my opponent; anger and hostility have nothing to do with it. За мен, it’s all about the energy of the risk and challenge. That’s what life is about: ‘growth through challenge,’ so I’m excited for this opportunity.”

 

 

 

Събитието, entitled “Night of Knockouts XIV” is presented by Carlos Llinas, in cooperation with Dmitriy Salita.

 

 

 

“Carlos Llinas has delivered a consistent, successful series, which has served as a development ground for many notable names in the sport,“, каза Дмитрий Салита. “This match between Chambliss and Tyner is a classic crossroads fight, with a young, undefeated contender and a proven veteran. A ‘must win’ for both that I know will deliver for the fans. I am happy to be involved with the upcoming event and working together towards producing top contenders and champions in the championship city of Detroit.”

 

 

 

“This is the number one boxing and MMA series in the country that has been going on for nine years and I’m glad to be working with Salita Promotions on this event,” said Carlos Llinas. “It’s good for fighters and everyone involved when promoters can work with each other and provide a platform for fighters to reach the next level.”

 

 

 

Също така в картата, one of the most promising young fighters in Detroit’s resurgent boxing scene, undefeated bantamweight Ja’Rico “Great Lakes King” O’Quinn (9-0-1, 6 Нокаута), will return to action six-round bout against former world-title challenger Christian “Italiano” Esquivel of Mexico (30-15-1, 23 Нокаута).

 

 

 

The MotorCity Casino Hotel is located at 2901 Grand River in Detroit. На Fight Night, отворени врати в 6:30 pm and the first bout begins at 7 ч. All guests must be at least 21 years of age with valid photo ID.
