Avviżar minn Washington, D.c., Dusty Hernandez-Harrison has been touted as the city’s “best boxing prospect since Sugar Ray Leonard” by the Washingtonian Magazine. He began fighting at the age of six at the boxing exhibition at the Ritz Nightclub in Northwest D.C. and became a sanctioned amateur at the age of 8. Fil-ħin ta 'l-ewwel bout pro tiegħu fl-età ta 17, Hernandez-Harrison compiled an amateur record of 167-30, rebbieħa diversi Kampjonati tad-Dinja ringside, Kampjonati Nazzjonali Silver Ingwanti u tliet Golden Nazzjonali Kampjonati dritta Ingwanti minn 2007-09. Dwar Ġunju 11, 2011, as the youngest licensed professional fighter at the time, Hernandez-Harrison made his pro debut defeating Alphonso Alexander via a unanimous decision at the Desoto Civic Center in Southaven, Mississippi. Six months later in his third pro fight, Hernandez-Harrison made his hometown debut on the undercard of the HBO World Championship Boxing broadcast of Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson and dazzled with a first round technical knockout of Terrell Davis. On his way to being crowned WBC Youth Welterweight World Champion in November 2013, Hernandez-Harrison stopped former National Golden Gloves Champion Kelly Wright in the fourth round in February of that year and two weeks later defeated Aaron Anderson via a six-round unanimous decision. In April 2013 at Dover Downs Casino and Resort in Dover, Delaware, he won a unanimous decision against Puerto Rico’s Jonathan Garcia and on Mejju 18 in front of a raucous hometown crowd of 3,000 at the University of the District of Colombia, he knocked out Eddie Soto with a right hand in the fifth round. Hernandez-Harrison proceeded to earn the “2013 Knockout of the Year” for the Soto fight and the “2013 Fighter of the Year” from Go Fight Live (GFL.TV). Fuq Novembru 2, 2013 fil Madison Square Garden, Hernandez-Harrison became the WBC Youth World Champion, winning a ten-round, unanimous decision over Josh “Pit Bull” Torres. Xahrejn wara, in his first nationally televised fight on ESPN’s Il-ġimgħa Tissielet Night, Hernandez-Harrison outlasted Tim Witherspoon Jr. via an eighth round unanimous decision victory, after which actor and director Mark Wahlberg tweeted that Hernandez-Harrison is “the truth.” Featured again on ESPN’s Il-ġimgħa Night Fights on March 7, 2014, Hernandez-Harrison faced southpaw Mike Balasi and came back to drop Balasi to the canvas twice en route to a six-round unanimous decision victory. fuq Jannar 9, 2015, soon after signing a promotional agreement with Roc Nation Sports, Hernandez-Harrison headlined the promoter’s inaugural event at The Theater at Madison Square in a fight televised by Fox Sports 1. In a battle for the vacant WBC Continental Americas Welterweight Championship against New Yorker Tommy “The Razor” Rainone, Hernandez-Harrison scored a dominant ten-round unanimous decision victory. In his most recent fight on January 29, 2016, Hernandez-Harrison scored a decisive win over Angel Hernandez via a third round technical knockout at The Belvedere in Elk Grove, Illinois. Hernandez-Harrison recently entered into agreements with FILA and GEICO to be a brand ambassador for both companies. He is the only professional boxer to represent each prestigious brand.

 

Mike Dallas Jr. was born into a boxing family and tabbed by experts during his teen years as a future professional star. At age 29, he’s in the midst of a comeback that lands him in Washington, D.C. against local unbeaten favorite Dusty Hernandez-Harrison that may be the most important fight of his life. Bħala dilettanti, Dallas shared a ring with current world champions Terence Crawford (whom Dallas claims he beat three times) and Danny Garcia as well as three-time U.S. Olympian Rau’shee Warren. He won multiple national amateur titles and qualified for the 2004 u 2008 Provi Olimpiku. Dallas turned professional on March 20, 2008 against Alejandro Valladares in San Jose, California and won by unanimous decision. He would go unbeaten in his next 17 tissielet. When he faced Josesito Lopez for the vacant NABF super lightweight title on January 28, 2011 in his national television debut on ESPN at Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, California, he was shockingly stopped in the seventh round.Five months later, Dallas met fellow rising contender Mauricio Herrera. In an excellent fight, again at Pechanga Resort and Casino, Dallas lost by a razor thin majority decision. Despite the setback, Dallas’ performance showed boxing experts he was back to contender status. In his next two fights, Dallas dominated former Miguel Angel Gonzales on February 17, 2012 and knocked out Javier Castro on June 22, 2012 to capture the WBO Latino light welterweight title. Those wins brought Dallas to his biggest opportunity to date, an WBC super lightweight interim world title fight against Lucas Matthysse, fuq Jannar 26, 2013 at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Just after negotiations for the fight were finalized, Dallas learned that his father, Mike Dallas Sr., who introduced his son to boxing at age six, passed away suddenly at just 45 sena. Dallas Jr., madankollu, did not pull out of the Matthysee fight. Fuq lejl ġlieda, Dallas Jr. was all there physically, but mentally a fight of that magnitude was too much under the circumstances and Matthysee, probably the hardest puncher in boxing, imposed his will on Dallas, scoring a first round knockout. He then took the break he should have taken before the Matthysee fight, spending two years away from the ring. When Dallas felt the urge to fight again, he contacted his trainer Ben Bautista and the pair ventured to Tijuana, Messiku, where Dallas picked up two quick wins against Alejandro Alonso on November 20, 2015 and most recently on December 19 against Odillon Rivera. He now returns to fight in the spotlight again on Mejju 13 in a true crossroads fight against Hernandez-Harrison.

 

At the age of nineteen, Darmani Rock is already drawing comparisons to former heavyweight greats of the past. Rock has received high praise for his powerful jab and ambidexterity. Standing at 6’4”, he moves with an unparalleled lightness and speed for a fighter his size. Rock earned nation-wide accolades following a banner year in 2014 when he took home the USA Boxing Junior and Youth Open, Youth Continental and Youth World super heavyweight titles. During the 2014 Junior and Youth Open in Reno, Nevada, Rock shut out the 2013 National Youth Champion, John Luna, 3-0. This impressive performance was followed by another super heavyweight title at the Youth Continental Championships in March 2014 in Quito, Ecuador where he defeated Argentina’s Kervin Espinola 3-0. Rock then took home the gold medal at the prestigious World Youth Championships in Bulgaria in April 2014 by a 2-1 decision over Germany’s Peter Kadiru. Rock also took home the 2014 World Junior Amateur Championship and capped off 2014 by being named Philadelphia’s Amateur Boxer of the Year at the annual Briscoe Awards. His most noteworthy win, madankollu, came in May 2015 when he beat Cam Awesome, a career amateur who has been called the next Chris Byrd, in Las Vegas for the National Golden Gloves title. Rock also captured the 2015 U.S. National Amateur super heavyweight championship. He ended his amateur career as the number one rated super heavyweight in the United States (and the number five rated super heavyweight in the world) jmorru 19-5 in national tournaments. In February 2016, Rock signed an exclusive promotional agreement with Roc Nation Sports.

Wara shadowboxing fiċ-ċirku u rounds ftit fuq l-ixkejjer ippanċjar, erba ġellieda kollha pparteċipaw fl-intervisti ma 'membri tal-midja fl-attendenza. Super Bowl Champion u indiġeni Oakland Marshawn Lynch, AVID sostenitur Andre Ward, kellu logħba speċjali matul il-workout b'appoġġ għall-Ward.

 

Hawn taħt huwa dak li l-ġellieda kellhom jgħidu matul il-workout midja finali:

 

ANDRE WARD, Żewġ Ħin Dinja Champion u top-rated lira-għal-lira ġlied:

"Inħoss tajba u I am lesta li tmur. Jien quċċata fil-ħin. Jien biss eċċitati biex tiksbu nhar is-Sibtlejl.

 

"I użati biex issuq mill-Oracle Arena fuq 880 bħala kid fit-triq tiegħi biex Gym King u wonder jekk I tista 'tagħmel dan hemm jum wieħed u [trainer] Virgil [Hunter] użati biex jgħidu b'kunfidenza, "Inti qed tmur biex lett hemmhekk." Kif sibt anzjani, I użati biex tmur xi wħud mill-karti mqiegħda fis fix-xena. I kien għadu dilettant u nixtieq biss ħolma. Ħaġa li jmiss inti taf, fil 2009, I kien fil-ġlieda sink jew jgħum kontra Edison Miranda. Jekk I rebaħ, kien hemm probabbilment ċans tajjeb li nixtieq nikseb xi sparatura titolu u l-bqija hija l-istorja. Hawnhekk aħna darb'oħra, huwa tiegħi 7th ħin Oracle u huwa għadu barka.

 

"Din kienet l-ħin id-dritt li jmorru heavyweight dawl. Hija kienet taħlita ta 'ma jkollhomx l-guys dritt għall-ġlieda jew guys li ma riedx li jiġġieldu lili. Irrid li jkun kbir. Dawn huma t-tipi ta 'jiċċaqlaq għandek tagħmel. I'ma student ta 'l-isport u meta I tistudja l-isport, dan huwa dak greats dejjem isir. Huma ningranaw. Dawk kbira jsibu mod biex tikseb dan isir u nixtieq li tkun f'dak konverżazzjoni.

 

"Barrera hu korp kbir. Hu fiduċjuż. Jidher li jkun zgħir tajba. Aħna ma pick lilu għaliex huwa touch soft. Aħna qabad lilu minħabba li huwa kien se tikseb lili lesti u urini dak li din il-klassi ta 'piż hija dwar. Jekk inti tħares lejn il-karriera tiegħi, hemm post għall intunazzjoni-ups li I ma kellhomx ħafna ta '. Inti tixtieq li jiġġieldu l-aħjar u jekk m'intix jiġġieldu l-aħjar, inti tixtieq li ġlieda kontra l-konkorrent numru wieħed. Dak hu li aħna qed tagħmel.

 

"I think I am tevolvi fi ġlied effiċjenti. Jien jiċċaqilqu meta I ikollha tiġi spustjata. Naħseb li l-sbuħija ta 'kull atleta li ma jabbużawx ġisem tiegħu u verament jieħu dgħajjes tiegħu bis-serjetà. Stajt tidher xi artikli li jallegaw tlift ewlenija tiegħi. Huwa crazy lili. Inħoss li jiena tajba daqs jien qatt qabel. Stajt ġiet fil-gym boxing mingħajr ħafna ta 'waqfa għall-aħħar 20 snin. moħħ tiegħi irringrazzjani għall-aħħar sentejn. korp tiegħi irringrazzjani. Jista 'jagħti me sentejn oħra fil-karriera tiegħi.

 

"Għandi li jkun biss lili. Min jien huwa biżżejjed. I m'għandhomx għalfejn juru għall Kovalev fil-folla nhar is-Sibtlejl. Aħna biss għandhom biex jimplimentaw il-pjan ta 'logħba. Naħseb li għaddej biex tibgħat il-messaġġ huwa suppost li jibagħtu u jekk ma jiġrix dan, allura hu ser [Kovalev] twassal il-messaġġ meta aħna ġlieda.

 

"Jekk jien ma jirbaħ din il-ġlieda, hemm xejn fl-triq. Jekk jien ma jirbaħ din il-ġlieda, Jien ma jixirqilhom għall-ġlieda għat-titlu. Dik hija r-realtà tas-sitwazzjoni tiegħi.

 

"Barrera qatt ma ġġieldu Guy bħali qabel, sabiex ikunu jistgħu jitkellmu logħba tajba. Huma jistgħu jiddominaw l-aħbarijiet li wassal għall-ġlieda. Huma jistgħu jgħidu l-għalf roqgħa li jkunu jridu jgħidu. Aħna biss trid jiddominaw l-aħbarijiet Il-Ħadd għodwa ta 'wara l-ġlieda huwa fuq. Dak hu li jien iffukat fuq. "

 

SULLIVAN Barrera, Numru wieħed ratata IBF konkorrent heavyweight dawl:

"Jien aktar b'saħħitha milli Ward. Għandi l-isfond Kuban u tgħallimt ħafna ta 'ħiliet hemm. Aktar minn kull ħaġa oħra, id-determinazzjoni li jingħelbu xejn quddiem lili ser jgħinuni telfa Ward fuq Marzu 26.

 

"Ladarba I am fiċ-ċirku, huwa dar tiegħi.

 

"Hu x'inhu Ward għandha, I se jaġġustaw ruħhom għaliha u jegħlbu dan.

 

"Għandi żewġ idejn. Huwa għandu żewġ idejn. I jkollhom impjieg li tagħmel fuq Marzu 26.

 

"Naf Ward u Kovalev huma ferm rispettat ħafna u dawn joħolqu ħafna flus u ħafna ta 'interess, iżda dawn ma jkunux jafu liema Sullivan Barrera hija kapaċi tagħmel. I se jipprova li nhar is-Sibt.

 

"Jien ma verament Guy li għandu jħares għal eliminatorja. ħiliet boxing tiegħi jitkellmu għalihom infushom. I am ġlieda kontra Andre Ward u ġlied hawn fil Oakland, so I do not think deċiżjoni ser jisfaw favur tiegħi.

 

"Biex l-fannijiet kollha, speċjalment l-fannijiet Kubani li appoġġjaw me jekk jogħġbok jafu li jidħlu IS-SIBT, I am ser tagħmel dak kollu li nagħmel biex toħroġ rebbieħa. "

JOSEPH DIAZ JR., NABF featherweight Champion:

"I ma jistax jistenna dak Jayson għamilt biex Ronny Rios matul din il-ġlieda. Stajt ltqajna biex tmur fil hemm, jittestja lilu out u aġġusta meta I am fil-ċirku.

 

"Jekk l-opportunità tippreżenta lilha nnifisha fejn hu iweġġgħu u nara li puntelli tiegħi huma l-kbira minnu, allura naturalment jien ser tikseb fil hemm, tkun aggressiva u kun żgur I jieħdu lilu kmieni kemm jista 'jkun.

 

"Naf jkollna fuq ġewwa, qtugħ barra l-anell u tieħdu lill-korp dritt bogħod se break lilu isfel. Li għaddej biex jagħmel lilu ma jiċċaqalqux ħafna u aktar tard fil rawnds nista 'art daqqa vizzjuż lill-kap. Jien ser tieħu lill-korp dritt bogħod.

 

"Mentalment Jiena 100% lest. Dan huwa stadju kbir fil-karriera tiegħi, hekk jien mentalment ffukati. Jien mħejjija sew. Inħoss bħal dan huwa l-mument I ilhom jistennew għall-ħajja kollu tiegħi kollu. Inħoss bħal jien lest għal dan u I ma jistgħux jistennew għall Marzu 26. I mħarrġa iebsa ħafna għal din il-ġlieda u jien ppreparati sew għaliha.

 

"I really jixtiequ jagħmlu stqarrija f'din il-ġlieda. Irrid li juru d-dinja li Joseph Diaz jista 'jkun il-ħaġa kbira li jmiss fil-boxing, so I mħarrġa diffiċli ħafna biex jitqiegħdu fuq ġlieda kbira għall-fannijiet ġlieda, jkunu aggressivi ħafna u jagħmilha gwerra fil hemmhekk. Nittama li Jayson Vélez huwa 110% lest minħabba I tixtieq li lilu tkun fl-aqwa tiegħu.

 

"Jekk jien jirbaħ din il-ġlieda u jagħmel dikjarazzjoni, I think I tista 'timxi għall-istatus konkorrent u nittamaw jiksbu dinja titolu maqtula mill-aħħar ta' din is-sena. Irrid li jiġġieldu l-avversarji iebsa din is-sena għaliex nixtieq li juru d-dinja li jiena.

 

"Inħoss bħal kruha meta I pass lejn il-ring u I jista 'jara dan fil sparring. Kulmeta Jien inżul daqqa effettivi, I tista 'tgħid li jiena jolqtu ħażin avversarju tiegħi. "

JAYSON VELEZ, konkorrent featherweight Top-rated:

"Fil-livell tiegħi, kull Guy huwa konkorrent top. Għandi biex iħarrġu aktar diffiċli u jtejbu d-difiża tiegħi. Stajt ilhom jaħdmu fuq din.

 

"Jekk inti tara aħħar tlieta jew erba tiegħi tissielet, se tara li ġew I jiddomina fl-ewwel ftit rawnds u mbagħad I jispiċċaw tal-gass, I kienu ilhom jaħdmu fuq stamina tiegħi hekk li mhux se jiġri fuq Marzu 26.

 

"Rajt tissielet Diaz. Imxejna sparred koppja ta 'drabi. Hu veloċità ltqajna. Hu ltqajna ġuħ. Huwa debutt HBO tiegħu, hekk hu definittivament motivati, imma hekk am I. Huwa ser tkun ġlieda kbira.

 

"Irrid li jkun ċampjin tal-kelma. Naf jixtieq wisq. Nhar is-Sibt, aħna se jkun jaf li jixtieq aktar. Aħna kemm tixtieq li jirbaħ u aħna kemm taħriġ għal rebħa. A ġlieda bejn is-setgħa u l-veloċità hija kbira jaqblu-up. Biex ma nsemmux hu Messikani u jien Puerto Rikan. Għandek tistenna ġlieda kbira u mhuwiex wieħed inti tixtieq li titlef. "

Fuq Marzu 26, NABO Junior Welterweight Champion Maurice “Mighty Mo” Hooker (19-0-2, 14 Kos) risks his unbeaten record against Wilfrido “La Roca” Buelvas (17-5, 11 Kos) of Barranquilla, Colombia in a ten-round junior welterweight bout. Hooker, rated number seven by the WBO, is coming off of a career-best win on October 17, 2015 against his toughest opponent to date in Ghislain Maduma (17-2, 11 Kos) fil Madison Square Garden. Hooker successfully defended his NABO title with the 10-round decision win over Maduma on the undercard of Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux in a fight that was featured on the event’s “freeview” in the United States and streamed online around the world. Buelvas, a former WBA Fedebol champion, has won two of his last three bouts by knockout and fought Humberto Soto for the WBC Silver International Super Lightweight title in 2014, going the 12-round distance before losing a decision to the former World Champion.

 

Born and raised in Oak Cliff, Texas, a rough suburb of Dallas, Hooker found a boxing home at Maple Avenue Boxing Gym by way of an outreach program for at-risk youths. His natural talent was soon noticed resulting in him competing as an amateur, during which time he participated in over 100 tissielet, compiling a record of 97 rebħiet u biss 7 telf, ma 67 victories coming by way of knockout. Hooker turned professional on April 29, 2011, taking on the vastly more experienced Tyrone Chatman (7-1, 5 Tal-KO) at the Orpheum Theater in St. Louis. After four rounds, the judges saw the fight 40-36, 37-39 u 38-38, making the fight a split draw. Undeterred, in his next fight on June 24, 2014, Hooker scored his first professional win, knocking out Wilbert Mitchell in the first round at the Dr. Pepper Arena in Frisco, Texas. Eleven wins (eight by knockout) later, he took on undefeated Abel Ramos (8-0, 4 Tal-KO) fuq Jannar 17, 2014 in a bout that was featured on ShoBox from the Cook Convention Center in Memphis. After eight close, hard-fought rounds, the judges saw the fight a draw. Hooker followed the draw with a six-round unanimous decision win over Adrian Rodriguez Garza (8-2, 6 Tal-KO) fuq April 26 at Fitzgerald’s Casino and Hotel in Tunica, Mississippi. Four consecutive knockout victories would follow before he took on fellow undefeated prospect Eduardo Galindo (10-0-1, 7 Tal-KO) dwar Ġunju 26, 2015 at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas for the vacant NABO Junior Welterweight Championship. “Mighty Mo” did not disappoint his legion of hometown fans who saw him capture the title with a sixth round technical knockout victory.

 

Hailing from Rancho Cucamonga, California u l-ġlieda mill-boxing hotbed ta Oxnard, undefeated Daniel "Twitch" Franco (12-0-3, 7 Tal-KO) meets Mexican veteran German “Panteonero” Meraz(52-37-1, 30 Kos) in an eight-round featherweight bout on Marzu 26. Featured for the second time on a Ward undercard, the sharp-boxing Franco will look to improve on his undefeated record against an opponent with literally six times his pro boxing experience. Meraz is only 29 years old but has already logged an amazing 90 professional bouts and has won four of his last six fights by knockout. He has fought current World Champion Juan Carlos Payano, Three-Time U.S. Olympian Rau’shee Warren and highly-touted prospect Gervonta Davis, going the distance with all three.

 

Franco began boxing at the age of eight, amassing rekord dilettanti tal 67-15, jirbħu l-kampjonat Oxnard PAL fl 2006 u l-Istat California Silver Ingwanti Kampjonat fl 2007 tul it-triq. Matul debutt professjonali Franco dwar Diċembru 18, 2010, hu megħlub Emanuel Machorro fi Club 401 fl Ontario, California via t-tielet eliminatorja tekniku round. Minkejja li rreġistrata bħala student full-time fi CHAFFEY College fl Rancho Cucamonga, Franco impressjonat kmieni fil-karriera tiegħu, kumpilazzjoni rekord undefeated b'żewġ jiġbed fil-postijiet madwar California sal-aħħar ta ' 2013. Wieħed minn dawk jiġbed daħal kontra Alejandro Ochoa fil Cannon trankwillità fil Montebello, California on September 20, 2013, but in a rematch three months later, Franco outmatched Ochoa skorja ta 'sitt round rebħa deċiżjoni unanima fuq Westin Bonaventure Hotel fil-Los Angeles. Dwar Ġunju 20, 2015, during Ward’s return to the ring at Oracle Arena, Franco saw action in an eight-round junior lightweight bout against Jonathan Alcantara and won by unanimous decision. A hand injury suffered in that bout kept Franco out of action until Diċembru 21when he scored a decision victory over Hector Garcia in Tijuana, Messiku.

 

A promising unbeaten prospect from Salinas, California, Rudy “The Revelation” Puja. Jr. (7-0, 6 Kos)looks to extend his undefeated streak against Carlos “Kalimba” Lozano (7-5, 4 Kos) of Ensenada, Mexico in a six-round middleweight bout. Puga turned in a career-best performance in his last match-up on February 12 in knocking out Alejandro Osuna (4-2, 2 Tal-KO) in two rounds at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, California. Issa, just a little over a month later, “The Revelation” will step into the ring against a tough opponent in Lozanao, a southpaw who has never been stopped and already has a ten-round decision victory under his belt.

 

Having compiled an exceptional amateur record of 99-8, Puga made his professional debut on September 2, 2011, scoring a fourth round technical knockout victory over Raul Talamontes at the Sports Complex in his hometown. Back in the ring less than two months later, Puga Jr. raised his record to 2-0 with a first round technical knockout of Jose Jesus Hurtado at the Sherwood Inn in Salinas. F'Ġunju 2012, he sent Thomas Turner to the mat four times in scoring a second round technical knockout win at the Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. After a little more than a year away from the ring, he rededicated himself to the “sweet science” with a vengeance and on February 17, 2014, Puga Jr. made his comeback stopping Charon Spain in the third round with an overpowering body shot at the Salinas Storm House in his native Salinas. Promotional issues kept Puga Jr. out of the ring for the next year and injuries led to a slow 2015, but Puga Jr. scored a a fourth round technical knockout win over of Katrell Straus on April 24 and a six-round unanimous decision over Juan Carlos Rojas on Novembru 21, both fights taking place at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, California.

 

Brooklyn’s 20-year-old, undefeated Junior “The Young God” Younan (7-0, 6 Tal-KO) jirritorna l-ċirku fuq Marzu 26 after a nine-month layoff to take on Cristian Solorzano (4-7, 3 Kos) tal Sonora, Mexico in a four-round super middleweight fight. Younan has battled multiple nagging injuries since scoring a second round technical knockout victory over Mike Sawyer on the Miguel Cotto vs. Daniel Geale undercard on June 6, 2015 fi Barclays Center fi Brooklyn, New York. Issa 100 percent healthy, Younan looks to make Solozano his third straight knockout victim. Solorzano, a naturally bigger fighter, has campaigned in the light heavyweight division and is coming off of a knockout win.

 

Younan, trained by his father Sherif, a former professional boxer himself, began fighting competitively at age eight and only two years later was called a “boxing prodigy” by the New York Times. He compiled an amateur record of 90-5, racking up an impressive series of titles along the way including nine Junior Olympic championships, nine Junior Metro championships, eight New York State Silver Gloves championships and five Regional Silver Gloves championships. Fl 2011, he was crowned National Junior Golden Gloves champion and was U.S.A. Boxing’s number one rated junior boxer in his weight class. Less than a month after his 18th birthday, Younan made his professional debut on November 9, 2013, at the Aviator Sports and Events Center in Brooklyn, New York, stopping Kenneth Schmitz in the first round. Younan would go on to knockout his next three opponents before going the distance for the first time against Azamat Umarzoda on July 2, 2014 fil Foxwoods Resort Casino fil Mashantucket, Connecticut. He followed that fight with a first round knockout of Marlon Farr on Awissu 13 the BB King Blues Club and Grill in New York on Awissu 13.

Chinese heavyweight Zhang “Big Bang” Zhilei (7-0, 4 Kos) joins the undercard on Marzu 26 in a four-round bout against an opponent yet to be determined. The Silver Medalist from the 2008 Beijing Olympics continues to infuse excitement into the heavyweight division and is coming off of a first round technicalknockout win over David Koswara on February 20 at the Lanzhou Sports Arena in Lanzhou, Ċina.

 

Born on May 2, 1983 in Henan, Zhang began his amateur career in 2003, participating in the World Championships. A breakthrough came in 2007 at the World Championships where Zhang defeated the trio of Nurpais Torobekov, Rustam Rygebayev and Daniel Beahan en route to the semifinals where he lost to Ukrainian Vyacheslav Glazkov. By capturing a bronze medal and finishing the competition in third place, he qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

He has the skills and needs to be showcased on a bigger stage. It’s time to take the wraps off and let him prove himself. Hu jista ġlieda, he gets better each time out, he wants to test himself in bigger fights and is ready for the challenge.”

“Wara din il-ġlieda, I want a real test for Luis, a good name fighter where he can be challenged and have to work. I know he can be great and will rise to the occasion so I just want him to get the opportunity to showcase his skills and show everyone what a great fighter he is.”

After this fight we are looking forward to Roc Nation putting him on higher profile fights, TV fights where the world can see what we already know – that he’s one of the best young fighters in the world and a future Champion.

Ħalli kumment

 

NEW JERSEY (Mejju 26, 2015) – Productions Shaw Gary konkorrent middleweight, Tureano Johnson (18-1, 13 Kos), is now the chief sparring partner for Daniel Geale (31-3, 16 Kos) as he prepares him for his upcoming WBC title clash with Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32 Kos). Johnson, who captured the WBA International and WBC Silver middleweight titles in his last bout, is currently ranked WBC #2, WBA #5, IBF #8 and WBO #13. He gives his thought on sparring with Geale.

 

“Daniel Geale is a special fighter who possesses a lot of boxing skills,” said Tuerano Johnson. “He’s looking real sharp in the gym and his power is there. I can feel the snap on his punches and I think Miguel Cotto is in for a big surprise. Everyone is counting Geale out but not me. Gary Shaw brought me in to test Geale’s skills and after a few days of sparring, I believe Daniel will be crowned champion.”

 

“I brought Tureano to the gym to spar with Geale because he’s a good look to emulate Cotto and he’s one of the top fighters in the middleweight division,” Gary Shaw said. “The feedback I got from Johnson about sparring Geale is very positive. I’m confident that Daniel will use everything in his playbook to come out victorious.”

 

Tureano Johnson is currently riding a 4-fight winning streak, three of which came by stoppage. Highly ranked across the board of all sanctioning organizations, Johnson is on the cusp of landing a big fight.
