NATIONAL HARBOR, MD (Abril 17, 2017) – An exciting night of action will feature super middleweight contenders Andre Dirrell e Jose Uzcategui in a matchup for the Interim IBF Super Middleweight World Championship plus two-division world champion Rances Barthelemy in a WBA 140-pound world title eliminator against Kiryl Relikh em Sábado, Maio 20 from the recently opened MGM National Harbor in Maryland and live on SHOWTIME.
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,” Disse Dirrell. “Para mim, 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,” Disse 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.”
Um campeão do mundo em 130 and 135-pounds, Barthelemy (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.
“Estou muito animado por estar de volta no ringue, especially on SHOWTIME against a top-ranked contender in Kiryl Relikh,” Disse Barthelemy. “This victory will get me one step closer to fulfilling my dream of becoming the first Cuban to win world titles in three different weight classes. 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.”
Os ingressos para o evento ao vivo, promoted by TGB Promotions, custam $200, $150, $100 e $50, and are now on sale. To purchase tickets go tohttp://mgmnationalharbor.com/.
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.
Nascido na 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.
Um campeão nacional amador cubano, 30-anos Barthelemy ainda tem de provar derrota desde que se tornou profissional em 2009. Nascido em Cuba, mas agora lutando fora 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. Mais recentemente, Barthelemy made the lone defense of his lightweight belt with a decision over former champion Mickey Bey last June.
Fighting out of Minsk, Belarus, 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.

WASHINGTON, D.C. –(Outubro. 28, 2015) -Área nativa Beltway- Gary Russell Jr.. (26-1, 15 KOs) realizou um treino de mídia em O Enigma Boxing Club em Capital Heights, MD na terça-feira enquanto se prepara para sua luta no campeonato Novembro 14 no canal Showtime.
Russell Jr. vai fazer a primeira defesa de seu Campeonato do Mundo Pena WBC contra a Colômbia de Oscar Escandon (24-2, 16 KOs) no evento principal de Showtime Championship Boxing em Sábado, Novembro. 14, vivo no canal Showtime (10:45 p.m. E/PT) de Hard Rock Hotel & Casino em Las Vegas.
Aqui está o que Russell Jr., Gary Russell Sr. (Pai e treinador de Gary) e Gary Russell Antonio(Irmão mais novo de Gary e invicto perspectiva de boxe) tinha a dizer na terça-feira:

GARY RUSSELL JR.:
“Campo de treinamento está indo muito bem, estamos no rumo certo. Houve um menor soluçar no acampamento, porque eu deveria lutar em outubro. 24. Comecei a brigar, but once the fight got pushed back to Novembro 14 I cut the sparring off. Eu não queria pico muito cedo.
“Hoje (Terça-feira) foi o meu primeiro dia de volta de brigar novamente. Eu estou trabalhando em meu calendário, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandon é forte e durável. Ele vem para a frente. Se seu canto era inteligente eles iriam tentar tirar a minha velocidade da mão, que será um grande fator na luta. Ele vai precisar para fechar a distância, sufocar meus socos assim que a velocidade não é um fator.
“Estamos trabalhando para tornar a luta tão confortável no lado de fora como eu estou lutando no interior.
“Um monte de lutadores são unidimensionais. Estamos tentando fazer esse brilho de diamantes de todos os lados.
“Eu sei que vou ser vitorioso, sem dúvida,. Qualquer um que entrar no ringue com estes pequenos, 8-ounce gloves always has a possibility of creating an upset whether he’s a big puncher or not. Leva apenas um tiro. It’s the fighters’ job to take away that opportunity.
“Estou animado para lutar, período. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. É preciso um certo tipo de força mental e força psicológica para entrar no ringue e executar. Qualquer um que entra no ringue contra mim é um campeão em meus olhos.
“It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“Se eu passar Escandon Eu adoraria lutar 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, mesmo que ele perdeu, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Tendo a minha família comigo durante o acampamento de treinamento significa tudo para mim. É onde eu recebo a minha energia a partir de. Um monte de caras sentem que têm de fugir para o campo de treinamento, mas eu não tenho que sair de casa. Minha família é a força motriz por trás do meu campo de treinamento e onde eu encontre meu poder e motivação. No final do dia, Eu caixa para a minha família.
“Se meu irmão acaba lutando no meu eliminatória seria muito legal para mim. Vai ser engraçado, porque se ele não competir, você definitivamente vai ver-me trabalhar seu canto antes da minha luta pelo título.”
GARY RUSSELL SR.:
“Eu sei que é uma luta pelo campeonato, mas nós entramos em cada luta como se fosse uma luta pelo título. Não sabemos muitas coisas sobre o seu adversário, nós apenas treinar como campeões.
“Tenho seis filhos, todos eles são lutadores. Eles têm todos os atributos diferentes como as pessoas que traduzem de forma diferente em que eles são como pessoas e no anel.
“Antonio Russell é 4-0, ele trabalhou duro toda a sua vida. Fora do ginásio, ele pode corrigir alguma coisa. Antoine, que só se classificou para as Olimpíadas, é brilhante. Estou muito orgulhoso dele porque ele acabou de se formar o orador oficial de sua turma, com o mais alto GPA de ninguém no condado de Prince George. Então você tem Gary, que é tão duro de trabalho, ele é o futuro patriarca da família. Ele tem um espírito velho.
“Estou orgulhoso de todos os meus filhos e eu estou orgulhoso de que somos uma forte unidade familiar. Nós aprendemos muito com a perda de Gary para Vasyl Lomachenko. Nós temos um lema no ginásio que pendura de um banner, ele diz que "O sucesso é a Ultimate Revenge’ e temos vivido por que, desde a perda. Aprendemos uma importante lição que luta e se mudaram.
“O boxe é uma coisa passageira, você não fazê-lo para sempre. Estamos fazendo nossa própria coisa. Eu não estou preocupado com o que as outras pessoas têm feito.
“Como um pai, seu instinto paternal nos chutes porque neste esporte, tudo pode acontecer. Você não quer ver seu filho acabar hurt. Então, nós treinamos para qualquer circunstância. Devido a que o instinto, Eu fui rigoroso e duro com os meus filhos, a fim de tentar mantê-los seguros.”
GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL (Lutando na Sexta-feira, Outubro. 30 não televisionada Premier Boxe Campeões na eliminatória Bounce TV e potencialmente o Novembro 14 eliminatória.):
“Com a nossa forma de treinar e luta, nossa defesa configura nosso ataque e nosso ataque configura nossa defesa.
“Meu trabalho é ir lá e vencer as lutas. Eu sei que meu adversário é um cara alto, mas também sei que ele não vai ganhar. Ele não tem o poder de perfuração ou anel de generalato que eu tenho.
“Depois que eu ganhar, Eu sou para a próxima. Estou treinado para lutar de forma consistente. Espero que eu pegar esse cara para fora cedo, se ele vem e apresenta-se. Então eu adoraria lutar no card do meu irmão mais velho de duas semanas depois.”

“Ele vai levar todas as minhas habilidades e todo o meu arsenal para defender o meu cinturão em Novembro 14,” disse Russell Jr. “Escandón é um forte, lutador durável com uma grande quantidade de energia. Vou ter que estar no meu melhor jogo e eu acredito que vai ser capaz de mostrar minhas habilidades quando eu entrar no ringue.”
“Estou muito grato pela oportunidade de lutar Gary Russell Jr.. para seu título mundial,” Disse Oscar Escandon. “I feel strong going into this fight. Moving up to featherweight has given me the added weight to be at my full strength. I’ve been training hard with Ruben Guerrero, who’s been doing a great job preparing me for Russell’s southpaw attack. I guarantee that I’m going to make it a rough fight.”
“Gary Russell Jr.. é um dos mais brilhantes jovens estrelas de esportes,” dito Tom Brown Promoções de TGB. “Winning the featherweight world title against Jhonny Gonzalez was an outstanding feat and he’s chosen a very tough initial defense against the heavy handed Oscar Escandón.

Evento co-principal da noite será anunciado em breve, assim como a eliminatória cheio de ação.
Russell Jr., de Capitol Heights, Md., makes his first start since dethroning defending champion Jhonny Gonzalez via fourth round TKO in March in Las Vegas. The talented and quick-fisted southpaw dropped the veteran Gonzalez three times en route to capturing his first world title.

CARSON, Califa. (Abril 18, 2015) – Confident and determined, Andrzej “The PolishChefe” 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 viver ALTURA DE COMEÇAR.

 

Fonfara, de Chicago por meio de Radon, Polônia, dropped Chavez, de 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 depois, 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, mashoje à 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), de Davie, Fla., por meio de Albany, N.I., won a lopsided 10-round decision over Walter “O Martelo” Castelo.

 

The talented, versatile, Eu tenho, 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 “Eu pensei que ganhei a luta. I didn’t get credit for the punches I threw. The judge who scored it 100-90; bem, that gives me no chance to win here. The cut bothered me in the early rounds, but was not a factor after.”

 

Mais cedo Sábado, on SHOWTIME EXTREME, invicto Moises “O 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), de Tolima, Colômbia.

 

Flores, fazendo sua 2015 estréia e terceira largada consecutiva nos Estados Unidos, triunfou pelos escores de 116-112 duas vezes e 113-115.

 

An emotional Flores was near tears afterward. “Isto é um sonho tornado realidade – more than a dream come true – para mim,” ele disse. “I saw my family on the beach, eating meat. I saw my babies better dressed. For me this is a life-changing victory and, sim, 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,” ele disse. “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.”

 

Na co-metragem SHOWTIME EXTREME, welterweight super Omar “O homem de negócios”Chavez (33-3-1, 22 KOs), de Culiacan, o irmão mais novo de 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), de Arjona, Colômbia.
