**Two-Division World Champion Garcia Prepares for WBC Welterweight Title Eliminator Against Hard-Hitting Ivan Redkach Saturday, Januari 25 Live på SHOWTIME^® från Barclays Center i Brooklyn**

**FILADELFIA** (Januari 15, 2020) – mästare två division världen **Danny “Swift” Garcia** is eager for another crack at returning to the championship ranks, but knows that he can’t look past the hard-hitting **John “Den förskräcklige” REDK** when they face off in a WBC Welterweight Title Eliminator Saturday, Januari 25 leva på Showtime från Barclays Center, hemmet till BROOKLYN BOXING ™, in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

“I’m just taking it one fight at a time,” Said Garcia. “I’ve been that way my whole career. I know that you can’t overlook anyone. I’m totally locked in on Ivan, and that’s it.

“We’re just working hard and working smart. We’re making the necessary adjustments for Redkach specifically, but this is just another fighter in front of us. I noticed that he’s really hungry. He obviously wants to win, and he’s coming off of three solid victories. He has his confidence back now. I just have to be ready for whatever he brings to the table on January 25.”

Redkach is coming off a career-best victory in June, when he knocked out former two-division champion Devon Alexander in his first fight campaigning at welterweight. It was Redkach’s third straight victory since losing to John Molina Jr. in a memorable 2017 firefight that saw both men hit the canvas.

“I caught some highlights of his fight against Devon, but not the whole fight,” Said Garcia. “I saw the full Molina fight though, and I know what I’m up against. Molina caught him, but before that, Ivan was doing well. He just got careless. So I just have to be on my A-game and make no mistakes.”

Garcia’s last outing was a victory in April over veteran contender Adrian Granados that was notable in that Garcia flashed impressive power in becoming the first person to ever knock out the durable Granados.

“I feel like my new conditioning coach has really been able to help me with different kinds of strength training,” Said Garcia. “We’re hitting different muscle groups and it definitely showed against Granados.”

With his return to Barclays Center on January 25, Garcia makes his eighth headlining appearance at the venue, mest av alla fighter. Garcia also holds the arena’s single event boxing attendance record, for his 2017 welterweight title unification showdown against Keith Thurman. The Philadelphia-native has made a boxing home just a couple of hours up I-95 from his hometown, starting with headlining the venue’s first boxing event in 2012.

“It’s just a great atmosphere in Brooklyn and at Barclays Center,” Said Garcia. “The fans there have gotten to know me really well, and all my fans in Philly can make the quick drive up. They love to watch me fight there and they know when Danny Garcia comes to New York, it’s going to be a great night of boxing.”

With a win in this title eliminator, Garcia would put himself in line for the WBC welterweight title held by unified champion Errol Spence Jr. Garcia has also been rumored as a possible next opponent for WBA Welterweight Champion Manny Pacquiao. If one of those two opponents are next for Garcia, he is confident in his abilities to become world champion again.

“I feel like my style is dangerous for both Spence and Pacquiao,” Said Garcia. “For Errol, I see he likes to stand in front of his opponents and he isn’t the hardest guy to hit. With Manny, I feel like my counter punching and style would also be hard for him. Så, I like my chances against both of them.”

Biljetter till evenemanget, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and DSG Promotions, are on-sale now and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com och barclayscenter.com. Tickets also can be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Grupprabatter finns genom att ringa 844-BKLYN-GP.

WBC Super Welterweight Champion Tony Harrison & Former Champion Jermell Charlo Continue Heated Rivalry Before Rematch This Saturday, December 21 Headlining FOX PBC Fight Night & on FOX Deportes From Toyota Arena in Ontario, Kalifornien

**Klicka HÄR for Photos from Stephanie Trapp/TGB Promotions**

**ONTARIO, Calif.** (December 19, 2019) – WBC Super Welterweight Champion **Tony “Superdåligt” Harrison** och tidigare världsmästare **Jermell Charlo** continued their war of words Thursday at the final press conference before they rematch this Saturday, December 21 in the FOX PBC Fight Night main event and on FOX Deportes from Toyota Arena in Ontario, Kalifornien.

The press conference also featured heavyweight sensation **Efe Ajagba** and Georgia’sIago Kiladze, who meet in the 10-round co-feature, mer 2016 US. Olympian **Karlos Balderas** och Mexikos **Rene Tellez Giron**, who battle in an eight-round lightweight fight that opens the broadcast at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.

Biljetter till evenemanget, som marknadsförs av Lions Only Promotions och TGB Promotions, är till salu nu och kan köpas på Toyota Arena-kassan och Ticketmaster.com.

Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from Toyota Arena:

**TONY HARRISON**

“I’m hungrier now because of the layoff since the first fight. It hasn’t affected my mindset for one moment. Sparring has been intense for me. That’s where I got the rust off. I was pushed every day with guys trying to knock me out, just like he’s going to try to do.

“Nothing about me is fake. Everything I say, I do it. It comes from my heart. The beef between us is real when it comes to my eyes. I don’t like anything about him. The tables turned after what he did right after the first fight. I’m a humble beast and he woke me up.

“I trained in Florida because I needed to be hungry again. I made the changes for me. I was out a year and I had to get mentally correct. He woke me up. I didn’t need to be in Detroit, they know I’m the champ. Now I’m ready to beat you again on Saturday.

“I had three judges who said I won, so I don’t think I have to change anything in my game plan. Jag är glad. I don’t care about what him and his team is telling him. I don’t have to do anything different.

“He had 12 rounds and never rocked me, never stumbled me. He gave me everything he has. The same Jermell that you have seen in every fight is the same you’ll see Saturday.

“We’re here once again and once again I’m going to exactly what I have to do. This is what needs to be done to him. I love everything about this. I love everything about the talking, the back and forth, and all the noise.

“Jermell knocked out Jorge Cota, so he’s back on top right? I’m going to humble him again, det är mitt jobb. I’m going to ease him of his pain. He acts like he’s the strongest guy in the world, but he’s up against an animal.

“I just have to be myself and win again. He can’t handle someone who’s himself. I’m rattling him every five seconds. I just have to throw the 1-2 off of that and we’re good.”

**Jermell Charlo**

“He talks a lot but he has to see me Saturday night. You’re going to get the same thing I gave to Jorge Cota. He just gave me more time getting out of the fight in June. I’m much stronger, much better and much faster now.

“I’m a fighter who lives and learns. I know how to progress. It’s okay for me, because I understand how to go down and come back up. When I come back, I come back way harder. They made the true champ come out of me.

“They know he’s not on my level. They know what I possess and what I do. Him not liking me has nothing to do with what I’m going to do Saturday.

“Nothing he’s said has gotten under my skin. It’s unbelievable to think that you could get inside another man’s head who gets in the ring and puts it all on the line for this.

“He will get what he deserves. I’m a man of my word and everyone knows what I do. I’m ‘Mr. Keep Running Your Mouth.’ Detta är vad jag gör.

“I want to knock him out and I’m going to knock him out. I’m going to set up the right shots. I’m going to set up what he’s not going to see. I’m going to show you how to take the belt.

“All I know is that I’m ready to fight. He’s all hype. The only thing fake about him is that injury he put up to get out of the rematch, but we’re here now so its whatever. I’m going to crush him.”

**EFE AJAGBA**

“I know he has experience and he’s lost to a few good fighters. I’m going to stick to my game plan and I look forward to showing it to everyone on Saturday night

“I have to test him with my jab and see how he reacts. He has movement and has good experience. I’m going to let him get tired and find my spots. I can’t wait to get in there.

“We worked really hard in training camp and I know that I’m getting better every day. This is a good test for me and a good opponent who will make me use what we’ve worked on in training.”

**Iago Kiladze**

“I know that’s he’s a strong young fighter, but he doesn’t have experience like me. I have more fights and more tough fights. I think that he’s going to try to come forward, but I’ve worked really hard to stop him.

“I’ve worked on my power and I will show it on Saturday night. I believe in myself and I’m going to show everything I’ve worked on in training camp.

“We’re going to take what we’ve been working on in training and bring it into the fight. We know what he’s uncomfortable with and we’re going to take advantage of it.”

**KARLOS BALDERAS**

“I’m an Olympian for a reason. I’ve faced the best since I was 15. This is a great opportunity for me and I’m going to make the most of it. He knows what’s coming Saturday night.

“I’ve been here before and I’m ready to make a splash. 2020 is my year to shine. I’m ready or the big names. I know what I’m here to do.

“He’s a rugged fighter who comes forward and brings the fight. I’m too experienced for him though. Till slut, my talent is going to speak for itself. We can say what we want up here, but my talent will speak for itself.”

**RENE TELLEZ GIRON**

“The only loss I had was a fight I believe I won, but you always learn from a fight. Balderas is a good fighter and I respect him, but he’s in for a war.

“I’ve been in tough fights everywhere so I know what it will be like Saturday. He’s quick in the ring and I’ve watched video on him, but it’s nothing that I won’t be able to overcome.

“I know what he can do and I know that I have everything I need to get this victory. I’m going to take advantage of this opportunity and I know that we’re going to steal the show Saturday.”

FILADELFIA(November 27, 2019) – Enad 154 pund världsmästareJulian “J-Rock” Williamskommer försvara sina WBA och IBF titlar i en Philadelphia hemkomst mot hårt slåendeJeison Rosariopå lördag, Januari 18 i FOX PBC Fight Night huvudevenemang och på FOX Deportes bor i primetime från Temple Universitetets Liacouras-centrum.

Action kommer också att innehålla obesegrad stigande stjärna Chris “BÄSTA SÄNDNINGSTID” Colbert tar på sig tidigare mästare Jezreel Corrales för den interimistiska WBA Super Featherweight-titeln som huvudhändelse för sändningen som börjar kl 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.

Biljetter för live-event, som främjas av TGB Erbjudanden, är till salu fredag, November 29 vid 12 p.m. ET och kan köpas påhttp://www.liacourascenter.com/events (DirektlänkHÄR) eller genom att ringa 800-298-4200.

“Julian Williams fick en av 2019: s mest spännande segrar i maj mot Jarrett Hurd, och det finns inget bättre sätt för honom att följ upp det än genom att försvara sina WBA- och IBF-titlar framför hans hemstadsfans i Philadelphia,” sa Tom Brown, President för TGB Kampanjer. “The great fight fans in Philadelphia are in for fireworks because Jeison Rosario hits hard and he comes to pull off the spectacular upset, and he only needs one punch to do so. Combined with the addition of one of boxing’s best young stars in Chris Colbert in his toughest test to date against Jezreel Corrales, FOX PBC Fight Night will be must watch from start to finish on January 18 at Liacouras Center.”

Philadelphia’s Williams (27-1-1, 16 Kos) captured his world titles in a FOX main event in May when he upset Jarrett Hurd’s homecoming defense in a fight that is a frontrunner for 2019 Fight of the Year. Williams took full advantage of his second title opportunity with a spirited performance and an impressive game plan that negated the hard-charging and physically bigger Hurd.

The 29-year-old will now headline in his hometown, marking the first time he’s fought in Philadelphia since a 2011 victory over Eberto Mendoza. Williams earned his title opportunity by winning four-straight fights after a defeat to Jermall Charlo in 2016, including wins over former champion Ishe Smith and Nathaniel Gallimore.

“This is going to be great having a homecoming fight back in Philadelphia,” sade Williams. “I’m excited for the crowd that’ll be at the Liacouras Center and to be back fighting on FOX. I haven’t fought in Philadelphia since 2011, so I can’t wait to get back in the ring in front of all my people. Rosario is a good fighter and I’m very familiar with him. I know he packs a solid punch and that he’s been on a tear ever since his lone loss to Nathaniel Gallimore. So he’ll be a stiff test for me, but I’m prepared to win. Most of all, I’m just excited to defend my titles and as a unified champion in front of my hometown crowd.”

Born in the Dominican Republic and now fighting out of Miami, Rosary (19-1-1, 13 Kos) will take an eight-fight unbeaten streak into his first world title fight on January 18. The 24-year-old has taken down a slew of contenders and rising prospects including Jamontay Clark, Justin DeLoach and Mark Anthony Hernandez, all of whom were either stopped or knocked down against Rosario. Senast, Rosario won a decision over veteran contender Jorge Cota in April.

“I’m very thankful and excited for this opportunity,” said Rosario. “I’m going to take advantage of it. I plan to bring these titles back to the Dominican Republic by knockout, but if I have to go 12 rundor, Jag är redo. I learned a lot from my first defeat, and it will never happen again. I also want to thank PBC, my promoter Sampson Boxing and my manager Caesar Mercedes for putting in this position. I can’t wait to make the most of it.”

One of boxing’s top rising prospects, Colbert (13-0, 5 Kos) showed off his emerging power with asensational one punch knockout of Miguel Beltran Jr. in the first round of his most recent fight in September on FS1. The 23-year-old from Brooklyn, New York had an impressive amateur career and has already taken down three unbeaten fighters in his short pro career. He will look to kick off a big 2020 januari 18 after earning four wins in 2019.

“This is the stage that I’ve been waiting for,” said Colbert. “My last fight was the co-main event on FS1 and now we’re moving up to FOX. It’s time to show out! I’m going to show the world what the hype behind me is all about and prove that I’m a soon-to-be champion of the world. All I know about Corrales is that he’s a former champion who’s going to bring his A-game, but I’m looking to get him out of there. I’m excited to be back in Philly and I’m definitely going to have my crew and fans coming down from New York to show support.”

The 28-year-old Corrales (23-3, 9 Kos) will look to rebound after a narrow split-decision defeat to Ladarius Miller in July. Fighting out of San Miguelito, Panama, Corrales won a super featherweight title in 2016 when he went to Japan and knocked out Takashi Uchiyama before winning a decision in their rematch. He also owns victories over current 130-pound champion Rene Alvarado and Robinson Castellanos.

“Colbert is a good fighter but he’s not ready for what I can do in the ring,” said Corrales. “I’m going to show that I’m still one of the best in the division. This is a great opportunity to prove that. I’ve been training hard to be the best Jezreel Corrales. Thank you to my whole team for helping me get this fight. You’re not going to want to miss my performance on January 18.”

Deltar också i lördagens lunch på Wolfgang Puck på MGM Grand var Leonard Ellerbe, VD för Mayweather Promotions, och Stephen Espinoza, President, Sport & händelse Programming, Showtime Networks Inc.

Här är vad de stridande och chefer hade att säga:

**GERVONTA DAVIS:**
*Tankar om Gamboa och flytta upp i vikt:*
“Vi vet Gamboa är en veteran och att han har haft en hel del krig, så vi vet att vi har en tuff kamp. Han är definitivt farligt. Han kan slå. Han kan slåss.

“Hans sista match gjorde han 134, så att vi vet att han kan bli större än mig på den vikt. Jag går in i detta att veta att han är en större fighter än mig. Jag ska bara ta min makt och dra nytta av den viktklass och blir världsmästare.

“Jag tror att jag är en av de bästa fighters i världen, men jag tror inte jämföra mig med andra fighters. I just go out and get the job done.

“Atlanta is my second home. I’m confident I’ll sell it out.”

*On his ability and uniqueness as a fighter:*
“I come from a different cloth than these other guys. I’ve been through everything in my life. A lot of people haven’t experienced what I have. If I ever get beat it would have to be by someone who’s been through what I have been through. It can’t be anyone who’s just been training all their life.

“Every time I step in the ring I’m willing to leave it all in there. A lot of people haven’t seen my full skills because I haven’t fought an opponent that has brought them out.”

*On his potential in the sport:*
“The boxing world hasn’t seen my true potential as a fighter, de har bara sett min makt. Jag är typ av boxare där om du inte hör hemma i det med mig, du kommer inte att vara där för länge. Vissa kämpar vilja ta sin tid. Jag är typ, Om jag vet att du inte på min nivå, Jag ska visa den. Världen kommer att se. Jag ska kämpa någon.”

**JACK Badou:**
*På hans kommande matchup mot Pascal:*
“Jag är glad för denna kamp. Jag heter faktiskt Pascal dagen före hans sista match och låt honom vet att jag hejar på honom. Men detta är affärer i slutet av dagen. Jag kommer att ta tillbaka min titel.”

*Om hur han känner i denna ålder:*
“Jag känner mig som en ung 36 år gammal. Jag lever ett rent liv. Jag är alltid i gymträning och jag försöker att inte ta något straff. Jag har ett par år kvar och jag mer motiverad än någonsin. Jag behövde den lilla paus. Jag hade inte haft en paus sedan jag var en amatör tjugo år sedan. Jag tog tid att koppla av med familjen och äta god mat. Nu är jag hungrig.”

*På sin sista framträdande mot Marcus Browne:*
“Alla som såg mig i min sista match kunde se att jag var platt. Min kämpar instinkt sparkade in på den punkten. Han kämpade en död man.”

*På Davis vs. Gamboa matchup:*
“Det är en stor kamp. Gamboa är lite äldre, men han såg bra ut i sin sista kamp. Jag är en stor, stort fan av Tank – hur han kämpar, sin hastighet, hans atletiska, allt. Han har star power. Han var på min card, nu är jag på hans. Han kommer att få stora saker att sporten och så länge han förblir fokuserade, Han kommer att bli en superstjärna. Han är redan en superstjärna.”

**LEONARD Ellerbe:**
*på Davis’ position och progression i sporten:*
“Vi kommer att visa alla hur han kommer att bli den största stjärnan i sporten. I 2020 vi kommer att blåsa denna ur vattnet. Vi har kunnat tänka utanför boxen. Det är hur du växer sporten. Vi har gjort en samlad insats för att korsa honom till mainstream; arbeta med Baltimore Ravens, hans parad, nu Atlanta.

“Vår plan är att göra de största och bästa slagsmål ute. Vi kommer att ringa till skott och det kommer att vara på våra villkor, och vi kommer att låta alla veta när det händer. Alla vill bekämpa Tank. Det finns en gemensam sak när man talar om 126, 130, 135, och nu 140. Det finns ett namn som är vanligt bland de stridande och det är Tank. Detta kommer att vara en stor resa och du får bättre på det nu.

“Om han kan komma förbi Gamboa december 28, Sedan i 2020 han kommer in i det pay-per-view värld. När du har den typen av star power och du funderar utanför boxen, inte bara boxning fans, vi kommer att göra den största slagsmål ute i världen.”

*På Badou Jack:*
“Badou är en promotor dröm. Han är en kille som ger dig inga problem. Han finns där ute gör underbara saker för sig själv och sin familj. Han gör så mycket för att hjälpa så många andra. Han använder sin plattform på rätt sätt. Det är en ära att arbeta med en kämpe som han.

“Jag har alltid vetat att han var en stor talang och ibland kan man hitta diamanter i grova. Alla har alltid titta på killarna som kommer ut ur OS. We saw him in the gym and he really messed a guy up. We had an eye on him and we worked out a deal with Lou [DiBella] and the rest is history.

“We had one setback, but everything happens for a reason, and he’s just taken off since. He’s a great fighter and I like the fact that he’s always willing to fight the best. Never had to second guess that he’s willing to fight everybody.”

**STEPHEN ESPINOZA:**
“There are advantages and disadvantages to promoting a show on this date. There has been a lot of success promoting music shows on that weekend. It’s not apples to apples, but it’s one of the factors that went in and there’s a way to turn this into something special and unique because of Gervonta’s fan base.

“It’s great to have skilled boxers but we need, for the health of the sport, guys like Gervonta who are putting butts in the seats. That’s the key in bringing him to Atlanta. Boxing is a part of a culture that crosses over into music and sports. There’s not an athlete who doesn’t watch a pay-per-view boxing match. Tapping into that with a personality like Tank is only going to expand the sport.

“There’s an authenticity and an openness about Gervonta. There’s a lot of people who’ve had setbacks who don’t talk about it, like Tank. It takes a risk to talk about that and that’s why a lot of people can relate. This is Tank. What you see is what you get. It’s very real. Det är väldigt äkta och jag tror det är därför människor ansluter med honom personen i motsats till honom fighter.”

Highly Anticipated WBC Super Welterweight Title Rematch Between Tony Harrison & Jermell Charlo Headlines Live in Primetime on FOX PBC Fight Night & On FOX Deportes Saturday, December 21 från Toyota Arena i Ontario, Kalifornien – 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT

**ONTARIO, Calif**. (November 5, 2019) – The highly anticipated WBC Super Welterweight Title rematch between **Tony “Superdåligt” Harrison** och **Jermell “Iron Man” Charlo** will headline live in primetime in FOX PBC Fight Night Action and on FOX Deportes Saturday, December 21 från Toyota Arena i Ontario, Kalifornien.

Harrison vs. Charlo II is a high-voltage rematch that has been building ever since the end of the first matchup. The two were set to meet in June, but the rematch was postponed when Harrison suffered torn ligaments after spraining his ankle in training.

Now that he is fully healed, Harrison is ready to solidify his hold on the title while Charlo is ready to take back what he believes belongs to him. The rematch comes just one day short of a full year from the first time the two stepped into ring against each other on FOX.

“After a dramatic and razor thin first fight, Tony Harrison and Jermell Charlo are sure to be at their best on December 21 when they settle their rivalry in a can’t miss rematch,” sa Tom Brown, VD för TGB Promotions. “This is the kind of high stakes 50-50 fight that belongs in primetime on FOX and I know that the Southern California boxing fans watching in Ontario will love everything that these two champions bring to the ring.”

Biljetter till evenemanget, som marknadsförs av Lions Only Promotions och TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com.

In the first meeting, Harrison deployed a tactical defensive strategy that blunted much of the force of Charlo’s high-powered offense. The intrigue of the rematch is whether Harrison will be able to use a similar strategy to remain champion or will Charlo be able to impose his will on Harrison and regain the title.

The 29-year-old Harrison (28-2, 21 Kos) entered the first match against Charlo having come up short in his previous world title attempt. He lost to Jarrett Hurd in a bid for the IBF title in 2017. Harrison, a protégé of the late Emanuel Steward and a native of Detroit, bounced back with three strong performances, including a decision victory over former world champion Ishe Smith.

“The delay just made me even hungrier heading into this fight,” Said Harrison. “Watching Charlo the night we were supposed to go shine, and rejuvenate himself, it built up so much hunger in me. I’m tired of the talk and the noise. Jag är redo att gå.

“We’re looking to work smarter this time,” added Harrison. “I think everything I did before worked, but we want to make it even more decisive. The plan is to be more technically sound overall. You may see an early knockout. It’s tense between both parties. I’m pretty sure he wants to knock me out as much as I want to knock him out. Whoever has the best plan will win. But I’m by far the better athlete. Athlete for athlete it’s not even close. I’ll beat him in everything, running, basket, fotboll. My style is perfect for his style. He’s Shane Mosley to my Vernon Forrest. I’ll beat him every time I face him.”

It was an emotional night for Charlo (32-1, 16 Kos) the first time he fought Harrison. He and his twin brother, Jermall, the WBC Middleweight World Champion, were defending their titles on a FOX PBC Fight Night doubleheader at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Jermell and many ringside observers thought he had done enough to beat Harrison, but the judges saw it differently, handing Harrison a unanimous decision victory and setting up a hotly contested rematch.

A 29-year-old native of Houston, Texas, Charlo, won the title with a knockout victory over John Jackson in 2016. He went on to establish himself as one of the best young finishers in the sport with devastating stoppage victories over Charles Hatley and Erickson Lubin in defense of the title. He scored a majority decision over former world champion Austin Trout before taking on Harrison and most recently scored a knockout victory over Jorge Cota on FOX in June.

“I still feel strongly that I won that first fight and I’m going to do things in a more dominant fashion this time,” Said Charlo. “I’m coming in to this fight being the overpowering, stark, ferocious Jermell Charlo. Tony Harrison is not on my level. It’s my job on December 21 to prove that and to prove my worth. I’m coming in there mentally focused. When I fought Jorge Cota, that’s a prelim of what’s to be expected from me in the future.

“I want to look for the knockout and set it up,” continued Charlo. “I don’t want it to go the judges. That’s my worst nightmare. If it does go 12 rundor, he’s going to be very injured at the end. The loss taught me how to be more patient and to take things step-by-step. I’m going to show everyone why Jermell Charlo is a threat to the whole 154-pound division. I personally feel I’m the best in the division. I’m an upgraded Jermell Charlo that you’ll see on December 21.”
