It will be a fight to remember; one for the history books. I just want to give the fans a really great fight in Vegas and on HBO Pay-Per-View.”

Andre “S.O.G.” Ward – Two-Time World Champion

“I’m grateful to be here today. I want to thank everyone who is associated with this event—the good, die slegte, the press, dit alles. Obviously HBO, Peter Nelson, Roc Nasie, Main Events, everyone who’s associated with it. It’s hard to thank everybody.

“I thank God for this opportunity. I thank God for my career and being able to compete at a high level through the peaks and valleys. Sometimes that gets overlooked, a veteran in the game.

It doesn’t matter what the other side says, how they feel, what they say. He’s got to get it done and I’ve got to get it done. When those bright lights come on who it’s all about who executes and who gets it done. I don’t have to throw chairs. I don’t have to cuss. I don’t have to act crazy. I said let’s fight, lets fight. You’re selling yourself. I know that what I possess and what I have is in me, and not on me.”

 

Kathy Duva – CEO, Main Events

"Ten slotte. There was a time when fighters didn’t consider preserving their undefeated records to be paramount to engaging in actual competition. There was a time when undefeated fighters who were heading to the Hall of Fame actually sought out greater and greater challenges as their careers progressed. There was a time when fighters were courageous athletes and not simply cynical businessmen.

 

“The two men who are here with us today—both in their athletic primes, both unbeaten, en, in my opinie, both heading to the Hall of Fame someday—chose to put their 0’s on the line and face each other to find out just which one of them is the very best. That is why they deserve to earn your pay-per-view dollars, this is what pay per view is supposed to be. That is why we should move heaven and earth in order to come to the beautiful T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas where this fight will take place. That is why the winner will earn the title of best pound-for-pound fighter in the ring.

 

“Since Ring Magazine began to keep records of the pound-for-pound fighters there have only been two occasions when two unbeaten top five fighters have competed in the ring for pound-for-pound supremacy. The first was Meldrick Taylor vs. Julio Caesar Chavez Sr. in 1994, the second time was Oscar De La Hoya vs Felix Trinidad in 1999. That means that on November 19th, this will be the very first time in the 21st century that such an event will occur in our sport. Let’s hope this is the start of something new, a throwback to the way boxing used to be when it was at its best. Let’s hope it doesn’t take another 17 years before this happens again. Let’s hope all the up and coming young sweet scientists learn and follow the example of these young great athletes who sit here today.

 

“So as I said, finally, I’m quite pleased to officially announce “Pound for Pound” and that on Saterdag, November 19th, two of the five best fighters in the whole world will fight each other. WBO, WBA and IBF Light Heavyweight Champion Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev, wat 30-0, will risk all three of his world titles against two-time world middleweight champion Andre “SOG” Ward, who is also 30-0. The fight will take place in Las Vegas, sponsored by our friends at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, at the beautiful new T-Mobile Arena. Tickets are available now, they’re starting at $155 right now because the box office has already sold out all of the $55 tickets we put on sale. You can only get these tickets at the T-Mobile box office and online through AXS.com. I’m happy to report that tickets at other prices are moving much faster than expected and currently there are very few left at the $755 price point and the $155 price point.

SERGEY KOVALEV VS. ANDRE WARD “POUND FOR POUND” SHOWDOWN OFFICIALLY SET FOR SATURDAY, November 19 PRESENTED LIVE BY HBO PAY-PER-VIEW®

 

NoTMobileNoMGM (2)

OAKLAND, SOOS (Augustus. 6, 2016) – Op Saterdag, November. 19 the world’s best pound-for-pound boxer will be crowned. Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev (30-0-1, 26 Uitklophoue), the WBO, WBA and IBF Light Heavyweight World Champion, en Andre “S.O.G.” Ward (30-0, 15 Uitklophoue) Two-Time World Champion, officially announced their long-awaited showdown following Ward’s victory over Alexander Brand at the conclusion of the live HBO World Championship Boxing® uitsending Saterdag night at Oracle Arena in Oakland. Kovalev vs. Ward will take place Saterdag, November. 19. Die geleentheid sal geproduseer word en live versprei deur HBO Pay-Per-View begin by 9:00 namiddag. EN/6:00 namiddag. PT and is presented by Main Events, Roc Nasie Sport, Krusher Promotions and Andre Ward Promotions.

Kovalev and Ward are currently ranked the number two and number four pound-for-pound boxers in the world, onderskeidelik, by The Ring Magazine, making their hotly anticipated fight only the third bout in the history of The Ring Magazine pound-for-pound list to pit two undefeated top-five ranked pound-for-pound fighters against each other. Odds makers and pundits have this fight evenly matched at 50-50 and it is poised to be a sure-fire 2016 Stryd van die Jaar kandidaat. History will be made on November. 19ste!

 

Making the fight even more intriguing, Kovalev and Ward are polar opposites. The Russian Wrecking Ball Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev is an unbeaten knockout artist sitting atop boxing’s light heavyweight division. With his ferocity in the ring and his charisma outside of it, Krusher is on his way to becoming the sport’s next big star. The last American man to win an Olympic Gold Medal in boxing, Andre “S.O.G.” Ward is already a future Hall of Famer. Bekend vir sy sterk karakter en integriteit buite die ring en instink sy vegter daarin, Ward has not lost a fight, amateur or professional, since he was 12-years-old. Kovalev’s seemingly unstoppable offense-first approach stands in stark contrast to Ward’s slick, defensive style that has been an unsolvable riddle for every foe he’s taken on.

 

Neither man has faced an opponent like this before. Who will be the next “Pound for Pound” king? Find out Saterdag, November. 19!

 

Live on HBO vanaand, when asked about whether or not Ward is ready to face him Kovalev said, “I think he is ready. I am ready too. The fight against Chilemba was similar to how it is going to be against Andre Ward. He is a really great champion and he proved this today. I just want to say, kom ons doen dit November 19 on HBO.”

 

Ward responded, “I am excited, een. I am looking forward to it. I want to be the light heavyweight champion of the world. I got past this step. He got past his step. We will see you in November. I have been doing this for 22 years and if I am not ready to fight the best now then I will never be ready. I have been preparing for these moments since I been a kid. You got to respect Sergey for the way he has gotten to where he has gotten. He didn’t have any soft touches. He wasn’t protected. He wasn’t really pushed by the media. He is a guy who should get a lot more credit than he has. The winner of this fight could possibly be pound-for-pound #1.”

 

Additional details for the event, including ticket information, will be released shortly.

 

*The Ring Magazine began publishing pound-for-pound rankings in 1989.

 

Kovalev, the Russian Wrecking Ball, 33, has been dominating boxing’s light heavyweight division with his aggressive, fan-friendly style since his breakout performance against then-unbeaten Nathan Cleverly in 2013. His rise to boxing stardom has been meteoric, as he has gone from an unknown fighter from Chelyabinsk, Russia to headlining HBO Pay-Per-View in just four years after signing with his first promoter, Main Events. Out of of Kovalev’s 30 loopbaan oorwinnings 26 have come by way of knockout. Daarbenewens, he has entered into championship rounds only twice in his professional career. Kovalev has always sought to test himself against the best boxing has to offer; he wants to prove in the ring that he deserves that mantle.

Ward, 32, the last American man to win an Olympic Gold Medal in boxing (2004), reigned as the WBA Super Middleweight World Champion from 2009 te 2015 while fighting mostly out of his hometown, Oakland, SOOS. He announced his intention to move to up to the light heavyweight division in search of a bigger challenge in 2015, shortly after signing with his current promoter, Roc Nasie Sport. He has been a top rated pound-for-pound fighter since 2011. Ward is seeking to assume his place and leave a legacy at the top of the sport.

Sergei, hoe sleg het jy wil hierdie rematch?

SK: “Die herontmoeting met Kenny Garner is uiters belangrik vir my baklei. Hierdie stryd sal in Kazakhstan gehou waar baie van my fans sal kom om my te ondersteun. Ons laaste stryd in China gaan nie soos ek beplan. Kenny is 'n gevaarlike vegter, al is hy in 'n gevorderde ouderdom reeds. Ek het 'n baie om myself voor te berei vir die stryd, en ek hoop om 'n skouspelagtige stryd op te wys Julie 3.”

Wat het verkeerd op jou laaste geveg met het “Drommel”?

Daarbenewens, Ek het 'n volledige volledige oefenkamp vir daardie stryd nie soos ek was die voorbereiding vir die kampioenskap skopboks. But I promised M-1 Global to fight him no matter what and I did.

Wat foute het jy in jou 1st veg met Garner?

SK: Die enigste een: Ek het nie goed voorberei vir daardie stryd. Ek sal te veel tyd om voor te berei vir my skopboks stryd bestee en was baie uitgeput. Dit was 'n risiko, maar ek het my woord om Vadim Finkelchtein (M-1 Global president) en M-1 om te veg. So, Ek het nie 'n keuse. Nou is dit al anders wees as ek nou net voltooi oefenkamp en ek is gereed.”

Wil jy om te veg vir die M-1 Global swaargewig titel gordel met Marcin Tybura?

SK: “Ek wil graag dat vir seker! Ek het nie die stryd draai. Ek is nog steeds die enigste Russiese vegter wat huidige UFC champ Fabricio Werdum verslaan. En ek het 'n baie oorwinnings oor merkbare vegters soos Nogueira, Overeem, Arlovski, en Street. Hulle is elite MMA vegters, hulle is kampioene. Ek het nog nooit enige stryd van die hand gewys. As M-1 bied my 'n stryd met Marcin Tybura. Ek sal daardie stryd onmiddellik aanvaar. Ek sou dit aanvaar nou.”
