This is a major clash for the two fighters and their careers, which promises to be a risky, hotly contested contest. Afinal, the winner will become the monarch of this new division. This grand and historic showdown marks the return of American television to Canada for the first time since December 2018, as ESPN + retained the broadcast rights to the fight in the United States. No total, this prestigious gala will also be broadcast live in nearly 50 países.

Rivas was ranked among the world’s top 5 heavyweights when he was selected as the No. 1 contender in the WBC’s newly created division.

Além, boxing fans remember the fight delivered by “Kaboom” in England on July 20, 2019, against Britain’s Dillian Whyte (25-1, 18KO), in his previous outing. Rivas lost by close decision, even though he knocked his opponent down in the 9th round. The loss was very bitter, especially when it became known that Whyte had allegedly tested positive for illegal substances before the fight without BBBofC intervention.

MONTREAL (Março 13, 2017 – Groupe Yvon Michel (GINÁSIO) presidente Yvon Michel respondeu em conformidade a alegações infundadas recentemente feitas na mídia por Sullivan Barrera sobre a GYM e seu invicto contendor mundial meio-pesado, Artur Beterbiev, para esclarecer tudo sobre o cancelamento recentemente anunciado da Federação Internacional de Boxe de Beterbiev-Barrera (IBF) eliminador de título meio-pesado.
“Apesar das reivindicações de Barrera,” Michel insistiu, “ele não assinou contrato porque nunca pretendeu lutar com Artur. Na carta da Equipe Barrera, ele mentiu e mostrou sua ignorância tentando se distrair dos fatos.
“Para a conclusão desta saga infeliz, o IBF me informou que decidiu banir Barrera de seu ranking mundial, ou de participar de uma de suas lutas sancionadas, pelos próximos seis meses. Também fui informado de que, se ninguém no topo IBF 10 está disponível e concorda em lutar contra Artur, o IBF irá declará-lo como seu não. 1 desafiante obrigatório para o vencedor da revanche Ward-Kovalev. Artur estará de volta ao ringue no final de abril, início de maio. A defesa obrigatória para o vencedor de Ward-Kovalev II, ou Ward se essa luta não acontecer, vence em setembro.”
EuAvaliações de peso leve BF: Campeão – Andre Ward, 1. Sem classificação, 2. Artur Beterbiev, 3. Sergey Kovalev, 4. Erik Skoglund, 5. Enrico Kolling, 6. SUSPENSO, 7. Oleksandr Gvozdyk, 8. Dominic Bosel , 9. Robert Goldfinch, 10. Trent Broadhurst.
Abaixo, Michel define o recorde direto, ponto por ponto, nos termos da carta aberta que Team Barrera enviou à mídia.
Michel não negociou com o promotor de Barrera, Kathy Duva, e pediu que fosse para um lance imediato de bolsa.
“Kathy Duva (CEO / Eventos Principais) veio ao meu escritório um dia antes do prazo estabelecido para a aceitação de Barrera para participar do eliminador de títulos IBF para falar sobre a situação. Nossa esperança era lutar contra Barrera, mas porque ele está proibido de viajar para o Canadá, Eu confirmei nossa intenção com a Sra.. Duva para acomodar Barrera e deixar o Canadá e fazer a luta nos Estados Unidos. Estávamos na mesma posição há um ano, quando Barrera retirou-se do mesmo eliminador do título porque não conseguiu um visto para lutar no Canadá. Artur deveria então lutar contra Karo Murat, mas ele sofreu uma lesão e não conseguiu lutar. Barrera later defeated Murat to move into the IBF mandatory position in which he then lost to Andre Ward.
Kathy told me the number she had in mind to make the fight. I said that I would see if there were enough resources for that amount and promised to call her the following day. I did and explained that there weren’t enough resources to meet that purse structure. mesmo assim, not long after I received confirmation Barrera was officially taking the challenge, I then decided to move forward and immediately requested a purse bid date, which is the prerogative of any promoter, knowing what was Main Eventsexpectation in terms of their fighter’s purse. In this business, everybody knows the best way to determine the true market value of a fight is a purse bid, onde os promotores estão avaliando seus recursos e fazendo seus lances de acordo. Ainda tínhamos sete dias para fazer uma oferta, um e outro, e fazer um acordo até cinco minutos antes do vencimento do lance. A Main Events nunca nos fez uma oferta e nem nós.”
O lance vencedor da bolsa da GYM foi $251,000, substancialmente mais do que eventos principais’ lance de $182,000, dos quais Beterbiev receberia 75 por cento do lance vencedor. Barrera teria recebido $62,750, comparado com $45,500 ele teria ganhado se seu próprio promotor tivesse vencido a licitação.
Beterbiev relatou nas redes sociais que sua luta contra Barrera seria realizada em março 4th em Brooklyn, Nova York e Michel informaram que a luta seria realizada no final de março, início de abril, Em Nova Iórque. Barrera treinou para essas datas, mas não recebeu um contrato.
“GYM ganhou a bolsa e de acordo com as regras e regulamentos do IBF, a luta tinha que ser realizada dentro 30 para 90 dias,” Michel continuou. “Nós depositamos $50,000, por regras IBF, e recebeu uma carta de confirmação do IBF, tudo estava em conformidade. De acordo com os regulamentos IBF, dentro de 15 dias depois do lance da bolsa, nós arquivamos contratos para os dois lutadores. Artur assinou cinco minutos após o recebimento do contrato e este foi encaminhado ao IBF. Executamos o contrato de Barrera, envio para Main Events for Barrera com cópia enviada ao IBF. Logo em seguida, recebi aviso do IBF de que tudo estava em ordem e que havíamos cumprido os requisitos do IBF.”
Michel enviou um acordo impróprio para o Evento Principal listando várias datas.
“Nós sabíamos que tínhamos um encontro PBC, ou Abril 14, 21 ou 29. É muito comum que as datas das lutas escritas no contrato inicial do lutador variem uma semana antes ou depois da data listada. I contacted IBF president Daryl Peoples and said April 21st was the most likely date but that it could end up being a week earlier or after. He recommended to be transparent and to write all three potential dates into the contract. We did and then sent it to Main Events for Barrera to sign. Main Events noted that IBF rules said only one date and site could be written in the contract. Daryl complied with the objection so we then officially confirmed April 21st would be the date of the fight and Florida the site. We then sent a GYM executed corrected IBF bout agreement back to Main Events to be signed by Barrera and filed with the IBF on February 16th.
“Entrementes, GYM received a request, from Main Event to produce a Provision of Service agreement for Barrera’s participation. GYM was not obliged to positively fulfill that request but, as a display of good faith, we did so in belief the contract that Barrera would sign and Main Events would file it at the IBF office, on that date, as per its rules. Soon after, GYM received a letter from IBF championship chairman, Senhor. Lindsey Tucker, that all requirements had been fulfilled to officially sanction the bout.
The Florida location for the fight had been selected by GYM for three reasons. 1. Beating Barrera in his own backyard would send strong message for Beterbiev within the division; 2. GYM had received an offer from Miami-based SMY Sports and Entertainment’s president M. Eric Senecal, who wanted the buy the rights to produce the event; 3. GYM’S longtime and very close relationship with Florida-based Warriors Promotions, Senhor. Leon Margules.
Em nome da GYM, Margules reservou o 21 de abril encontro com a Comissão Atlética da Flórida. SMY Sports & Entretenimento fez acordo com a GYM que tinha prazo para depositar a garantia de dinheiro acordada. Eles haviam reservado a arena Seminole Hard Rock em Fort Lauderdale. Se SMY não foi capaz de entregar dinheiro e site, GYM tinha um plano de backup, proposto por Margules, quem tinha uma oferta e um site em espera, Hialeah Racetrack nas proximidades de Hollywood (FL). Não importa o que aconteceria, a luta foi garantida em um site na Flórida, Abril 21st para um evento PBC ser televisionado em FS1.
O empresário de Barrera foi contatado por um dos promotores para ajudar a pagar Yvon Michel e financiar a luta.
“Esta é uma afirmação tortuosa e uma terrível mentira,” Michel disse. “Ninguém que representa a GYM jamais fez esse tipo de solicitação. A verdade é um promotor local, M. Michael Luzbet, quem eu nunca conheci e nunca fiz nenhum tipo de acordo no passado, queria ser um parceiro da SMY Sports and Entertainment. Ele tentou levantar sua parcela de dinheiro para participar, mas SMY rapidamente se desassociou de Michael Luzbet.
“Como o grupo (SMY) estava arrecadando dinheiro não era realmente minha preocupação, mas eles haviam encontrado patrocinadores e contavam com a importante comunidade de Quebec, residente na Flórida naquela época do ano, bem como a importante população cubana e seus contatos com a comunidade russa, para vender mesas VIP e ingressos. It wanted the rights to put the show on in Florida but they were concerned because they had heard a rumor that Barrera hadn’t signed a contract and he was going to pull out of the fight.
They then requested a guarantee that Barrera (who lives in Miami) was going to fight before confirming their money deposit. I was in Quebec City at that time for the Alvarez-Bute fight. Senhor. Lindsey Tucker was there representing the IBF and I spoke to him. He said he believed the IBF had received a signed contract from Barrera. I contacted SYM to say everything was fine and that I had requested a copy (of the Barrera-signed contract) from Lindsey. Daryl People then informed me that there was a misunderstanding and they did not have a signed contract from Barrera. Só então percebi que os Main Events pressionaram Barrera a assinar o acordo sem sucesso. Pedimos ao presidente do IBF que pressionasse os Main Events para que Barrera assinasse o contrato porque, sem isso, estávamos presos na promoção do evento. Isso é exatamente o que aconteceu.”
Team Barrera deu a entender que Yvon Michel não poderia promover um show dessa magnitude nos EUA.
“Eu promovi mais de 200 shows, nunca deixando de lado ou cancelando um único show, incluindo envolvimento em mais de 50 lutas do campeonato mundial e muitos eventos multimilionários, muito maior do que este eliminador de títulos. Esta declaração apenas mostra sua ignorância sobre o que somos e quem somos e foi apenas uma cortina de fumaça para seu comportamento. I’ve promoted shows with the majority of the major promoters in the world; DiBella Entertainment, Warriors Promotions, Don King Promotions, Golden Boy, Main Eventsjust about everybody. It was unbelievable for them to write such an impertinent line.
Team Barrera unjustly belittled the quality of Beterbiev’s last two opponents, calling them cow farmers from Argentina.
This is terrible to be so insolent to fellow world contenders. Both fighters were world ranked in the top 15 naquela hora. (Ezequiel Osvaldo) Maderna (23-2, 16 KOs) had never been knocked out and (Isidro) Prieto (26-1-3, 22 KOs) had suffered only one loss, a decision to the WBC #1 contender Eleider Alvarez. Beterbiev knocked them both out (Maderna in the fourth round, Prieto in the first), so downgrading the quality of Artur’s 2016 opponents was totally unwarranted. If Barrera ever actually got into the ring with Beterbiev, ele teria caído na mesma categoria que Maderna e Prieto, que eram ambos competidores ferozes, mas não da mesma liga de Beterbiev.”
Michel acredita firmemente que Barrera nunca teve a intenção de lutar com Beterbiev por sua parte na oferta pela bolsa e, para encobrir, ele tentou colocar a culpa nos outros. Seu promotor gastou tempo e dinheiro para a licitação a pedido de seu lutador, Barrera, acreditando que ele tinha uma chance legítima de vencer a luta. É óbvio que o sentimento não foi compartilhado por Barrera, mesmo que a luta fosse travada em seu próprio quintal na Flórida.
“A verdade é que Barrera mentiu para desviar a atenção da mídia do fato de que ele não assinou um contrato e claramente não queria participar de Beterbiev,” Michel concluiu. “Não desrespeitamos nenhum candidato que prefira não desafiar Artur Beterbiev para a posição obrigatória. Acreditamos também que a Main Events fez de tudo para convencer seu lutador a manter suas palavras e seguir em frente com a luta.. Main Events não tem culpa. Também respeitamos as habilidades de luta de Barrera, mas não temos nenhum respeito pela pessoa que Barrera é com seu desprezível, pouco profissional, atitude vergonhosa e vergonhosa em lidar com a situação presente.
“Em uma nota pessoal, Eu nunca conheci Sullivan Barrera. Eu nunca tive que me comunicar diretamente com ele, Eu nunca tive que fazer negócios com ele, tudo passou por seu promotor, Main Events, e eu realmente não os invejo! Em breve, O GYM terá dois campeões mundiais dos meio-pesados ​​e posso garantir que Barrera nunca estará em seus planos.
“Mudamos de Sullivan Barrera para encontrar um oponente que tem o desejo de entrar no ringue para lutar contra Artur Beterbiev. Enquanto Barrera ainda será suspenso pelo IBF, Beterbiev será campeão mundial!”
Beterbiev, duas vezes atleta olímpico russo, detém duas vitórias amadoras sobre seu compatriota, Kovalev, o ex-campeão mundial meio-pesado. Seja Kovalev ou Ward, Artur Beterbiev estará mais do que pronto para o desafio de lutar pelo campeonato mundial dos meio-pesados ​​em setembro.
