The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast is headlined by WBC Featherweight World Champion Gary Russell Jr. making the second defense of his title when he faces top challenger Oscar Escandon.
Top 168-pound contenders Dirrell (25-2, 16 Kos) e Uzcategui (26-1, 22 Kos) are set to meet in a 12-round matchup with the winner in line to face IBF champion James DeGale, who is currently recovering from injuries sustained in his draw against Badou Jack in January on SHOWTIME.
“This fight is a massive step towards my journey to success in 2017,” Dixo Dirrell. “Para min, this is my championship fight leading up to the rematch with the current champion, James Degale. Jose has all of the tools of a champion, so he’s fierce competition for me. But I will show the world that I’m up for the task. This is my year!”
“I’m very excited to be facing a fighter the quality of Andre Dirrell,” Dixo Uzcategui. “These are the types of fights that I’ve wanted and I look forward to coming out victorious. This fight will be another step on the way to my dream of becoming a world champion.”
A world champion at 130 and 135-pounds, Barthélemy (25-0, 13 Kos) and the former world title challenger Relikh (21-1, 19 Kos) will battle in 12 rounds of action for the right to be the mandatory challenger for current WBA Super Lightweight Championship held by unified champion Julius Indongo.

I’m very motivated and I will not be denied on May 20.”
“I’m thrilled to have this opportunity in a world title eliminator,” said Relikh. “Rances Barthelemy is a good fighter, but my experience at this weight will help me get the victory. I’m ready to do whatever it takes to get this win and eventually wear that world title belt around my waist.”

Representing his hometown of Flint, Michigan, Dirrell looks to take one step closer to a rematch with DeGale after dropping a narrow decision to the current IBF champion inMaio 2015. The 33-year-old bounced back from the defeat in his last outing by earning a wide unanimous decision over Blake Caparello last April. After a decorated amateur career that saw him win two U.S. Amateur World Championships in addition to an Olympic bronze medal, Dirrell was unbeaten in his first 18 pro fights before losing a split decision to Carl Frosh in 2009.
Nacido en Venezuela, Uzcategui now fights out of Baja California, México, where he won two fights last year by knockout. The 26-year-old shot up the rankings in 2015 when he stopped previously unbeaten Julius Jackson in the second round after knocking his opponent down four times. Uzcategui was undefeated in his first 22 pro fights and enters this bout on a four-fight win streak.
Un campión nacional afeccionado cubano, 30-anos Barthélemy aínda ten que demostrar derrota desde que se fixo profesional en 2009. Nacido en Cuba, pero agora loitando fóra de Las Vegas, Nev. he won a super featherweight world title in July 2014 by defeating Argenis Mendez in impressive fashion, and followed that up with a second round TKO victory over Angino Perez. After dominating former champion Antonio DeMarco in June, he won a world title in a second division when he impressively defeated Denis Shafikov in December. Máis recentemente, Barthelemy made the lone defense of his lightweight belt with a decision over former champion Mickey Bey last June.
Fighting out of Minsk, Bielorrusia, Relikh returns to the ring after challenging the former champion Burns for the WBA title in October 2016. The 27-year-old was undefeated after turning pro in 2011 leading up to his world title shot. Relikh owns wins over veteran contenders Christian Ariel Lope, Joaquim Carneiro and Lazaro Santos de Jesus.

GARY RUSSELL ELEM.:
“Campo de adestramento está indo moi ben, estamos no rumbo correcto. Houbo un menor soluçar no campamento, porque eu debería loitar outubro. 24. Comecei a pelexar, but once the fight got pushed back to Novembro 14 I cut the sparring off. Eu non quería pico moi cedo.
“Hoxe (Martes) foi o meu primeiro día de volta de pelexar novo. Eu estou a traballar no meu calendario, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandon é forte e duradeiro. Vén á fronte. Se o seu canto era intelixente eles ían tentar sacar a miña velocidade da man, que será un gran factor na loita. Vai ter para pechar a distancia, sufocar meus golpes así que a velocidade non é un factor.
“Estamos a traballar para facer a loita tan cómodo no exterior como eu estou loitando no interior.
“Unha morea de loitadores son unidimensionais. Estamos intentando facer ese brillo de diamantes de todas as partes.
“Sei que vou ser vitorioso, sen dúbida,. Calquera que entrar no arena con estes pequenos, 8-ounce gloves always has a possibility of creating an upset whether he’s a big puncher or not. Só leva un tiro. It’s the fighters’ job to take away that opportunity.
“Estou animado para loitar, período. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. É preciso un certo tipo de forza mental e forza psicolóxica para entrar no arena e executar. Calquera que entra no arena contra min é un campión nos meus ollos.
“It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“Se eu pasar Escandon Encantaríame loitar Leo Santa Cruz, we fought in the amateurs. But we never underestimate any opponent and we are focused on getting this fight out of the way first. Lee Selby is another guy that we’re looking at. Of course Abner Mares, aínda que perdeu, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Tendo a miña familia comigo durante o campamento de adestramento significa todo para min. É onde eu recibín a miña enerxía a partir de. Unha morea de caras senten que teñen que fuxir para o campo de adestramento, pero eu non teño que saír de casa. Miña familia é a forza motriz detrás do meu campo de adestramento e onde atopa meu poder e motivación. Ao final do día, Eu caixa para a miña familia.
“Se meu irmán acaba loitando no meu eliminatoria sería moi legal para min. Vai ser divertido, porque se non competir, que sempre vai verme traballar seu canto antes da miña loita polo título.”
GARY RUSSELL ST.:
“Sei que é unha loita polo campionato, pero nós entramos en cada loita como se fose unha loita polo título. Non sabemos moitas cousas sobre o seu adversario, nós só adestrar como campións.
“Teño seis fillos, todos eles son loitadores. Teñen todos os atributos diferentes que as persoas que traducen de xeito diferente en que son como persoas e no anel.
“Antonio Russell é 4-0, traballou duro toda a súa vida. Fóra do ximnasio, pode resolver algo. Antoine, que só se clasificou para as Olimpíadas, é brillante. Estou moi orgulloso del porque acaba de se formar o orador oficial da súa clase, co máis alto GPa de ninguén no condado de Prince George. Entón tes Gary, que é tan duro de traballo, el é o futuro patriarca da familia. El ten un espírito vello.
“Estou orgulloso de todos os meus fillos e eu estou orgulloso de que somos unha forte unidade familiar. Aprendemos moito coa perda de Gary para Vasyl Lomachenko. Temos un lema no ximnasio que colga dun banner, el di que "O éxito é o Ultimate Revenge’ e temos vivido por que, desde a perda. Aprendemos unha importante lección que loita e se mudaron.
“O boxeo é unha cousa pasaxeira, non facelo sempre. Estamos facendo a nosa propia cousa. Eu non estou preocupado co que os demais teñen feito.
“Como un pai, seu instinto paternal nos patadas porque neste deporte, todo pode ocorrer. Non quere ver o seu fillo acabar hurt. Entón, nós entrenamos para calquera circunstancia. Debido a que o instinto, Eu fun rigoroso e duro cos meus fillos, a fin de tentar mantelos seguros.”
GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL (Loitando na Venres, Outubro. 30 non televisada Premier Boxeo Campións na eliminatoria Bounce TV e potencialmente o Novembro 14 eliminatoria.):
“Coa nosa forma de adestrar e loita, nosa defensa configura noso ataque eo noso ataque configura nosa defensa.
“O meu traballo é ir alí e vencer as loitas. Sei que o meu adversario é un cara alto, pero tamén sei que non vai gañar. Non ten o poder de perforación ou anel de generalato que teño.
“Despois que eu gañar, Eu son á seguinte. Estou adestrado para loitar de forma consistente. Espero que eu incorporarse este cara a fóra cedo, se ven e presenta-se. Entón eu adoro loitar no card do meu irmán máis vello de dúas semanas despois.”

(Abril 18, 2015) – Confident and determined, Andrzej “The PolishXefe” Fonfara (27-3, 16 Kos) spoiled the ring return of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 Kos) in resounding fashion Sábado noite, flooring the former middleweight champion one time en route to a one-sided ninth-round TKO in the main event ofShowtime Championship Boxing vivir ALTURA DE COMEZAR.

 

Fonfara, of Chicago by way of Radon, Polonia, dropped Chavez, of Culiacan, Sinaloa, México, with a wide left hook 50 seconds into the ninth round before a boisterous crowd of 8,636 predominately-Chavez fans at StubHub Center. It was the first time in 52 professional fights that Chavez had hit the canvas from a punch.

 

Upon returning to the corner, Chavez could be heard on the telecast telling trainer Joe Goossen that he had hurt his right leg and could no longer continue. Momentos despois, the fight was halted. The busier and more accurate fighter throughout, Fonfara was comfortably ahead on the three judges’ scorecards by scored of 89-80 e 88-81 twice after nine full rounds.

 

Offered an ecstatic Fonfara, who had his fair share of Polish fans at the venue: “I knew he was a tough fighter, quick and in good shape but when he hit me for the first time in the first round, I knew I was going to win this fight. He didn’t punch as hard as everybody said he did.

 

“I saw his punches easily coming in. I know I threw more punches. I was a little surprised that he did not come out for the (10th) but he was cut, had been getting beat up and had just got knocked down, so he knew what would happen if he came out.

 

“Chavez said before the fight that he didn’t think I could take his body punches. I think I took them pretty good and passed that test.

 

“I know there are things I can still work on in training to become a more complete boxer, peroesta noite was a dream come true. I want a rematch with (Light Heavyweight World Champion) Adonis Stevenson.

 

Said Chavez, the son of legendary Mexican icon, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. in the ring afterward and before he was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure, “Maybe 170,172 pounds is too big for me, maybe I’ll go back down. I’m not sure what my future holds. It was a very tough fight. But I congratulate Andrzej.”

 

Goossen told reporters afterward that he had “stopped the fight. It was my decision. I didn’t like what I saw. ”

 

In the first half of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader, undefeated world-ranked super lightweight Amir I (17-0, 14 Kos), of Davie, Fla., por medio de Albany, N.I., won a lopsided 10-round decision over Walter “O Martelo” Castelo.

 

The talented, versatile, Eu teño, 24, controlled a fight that featured numerous exchanges especially early on with a left jab and straight right hand.

 

“My combinations were effective the whole night, we stuck to our gameplan and came out victorious,” said Imam. “I want any of the world champions next”.

 

Castelo, who saw a nine-fight winning streak come to an end, dito “I thought I won the fight. I didn’t get credit for the punches I threw. The judge who scored it 100-90; ben, that gives me no chance to win here. The cut bothered me in the early rounds, but was not a factor after.”

 

Máis cedo Sábado, on SHOWTIME EXTREME, invicto Moises “El Chucky” Flores (23-0, 16 Kos), de Guadalajara, México, captured the WBA Super Bantamweight Interim World Championship with a thrilling 12-round split decision over defending champion Oscar Escandon (24-2 16 Kos), of Tolima, Colombia.

An emotional Flores was near tears afterward. “Isto é un soño feito realidade – more than a dream come true – for me,” el dixo. “I saw my family on the beach, eating meat. I saw my babies better dressed. For me this is a life-changing victory and, si, I thought it was very, very close but I absolutely feel I won.

 

“I want to fight the best next, the top guys at 122 pounds and right now the top guy is Leo Santa Cruz. That’s who I’d like to fight next. I really want to thank all my team, from top to bottom, for giving me this wonderful opportunity. We’re very happy that we joined the Al Haymon team. We’re very loyal and we just really appreciate everything they’ve done for us.”

 

Escandon felt he’d done enough to win despite injuring the right index finger on his right hand in the seventh round.

“I did all that I could, everything was in my reach, but I think I broke or fractured my finger,” el dixo. “In boxing things happen that are out of your control. Because I hurt my hand, I couldn’t throw punches the way I wanted to with my right hand. I tried to do all I could with it. But I didn’t want to injure it further. I’m OK, but I definitely would love a rematch.”

 

In the SHOWTIME EXTREME co-feature, welterweight super Omar “El Businessman”Chávez (33-3-1, 22 Kos), of Culiacan, the younger brother of Chavez, JR. and son of legendary Julio Cesar Sr., won an exciting, suada, give-and-take eight-round unanimous decision over Richard Gutierrez (28-16-1, 17 Kos), of Arjona, Colombia.
