Top American Heavyweight Prospect Franklin Faces Jerry Forrest In Main Event While Sweden’s Otto Wallin Clashes With BJ Flores in Co-Featured Bout



Live At 10 p.m. ET/PT From Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Vaske.



NEW YORK – May 30, 2019 – Two top undefeated heavyweight prospects will put their unblemished records on the line when they fight in separate bouts on ShoBox: Den nye generation Fredag, Juli 12 live on SHOWTIME from Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Vaske.



Top American heavyweight prospect Jermaine Franklin returns for his second consecutive test of 2018 på ShoBox against the streaking Jerry Forrest in the 10-round headliner. I co-featured Bout, undefeated Swedish heavyweight and top-10 ranked contender Otto Wallin will battle former world title challenger BJ Flores in a 10-round clash on the seventh ShoBox telecast af 2019.



“The heavyweight division is the strongest it’s been in a generation with a number of new faces looking to position themselves for an eventual title shot,”Sagde Gordon Hall, Executive Producer af ShoBox. “Otto Wallin is on the doorstep based on his rankings in the top 10 but he needs that statement win to get there. BJ Flores is not coming to test Wallin. He is coming to win and feels he has what it takes to teach Wallin a lesson.



“Jermaine Franklin is the best American heavyweight prospect and, at only 25 år, still has a ton of growth potential. He passed his first test on ShoBox in April and we look forward to getting a second look at him in another step-up fight. Forrest is far more experienced than Franklin. This will be his fifth fight of 2019, and he is fully aware of what a win will do for his career.”



Billetter til arrangementet, which is promoted by Salita Promotions in association with Brian Halquist Productions, go on sale Saturday, Juni 1 and are available via Ticketmaster and the Emerald Queen Box Office.



“This is an exciting time for the heavyweight division and on July 12 boxing fans will have an opportunity to witness two of the division’s best new faces in significant tests,” said promoter Dmitriy Salita. “Jermaine Franklin’s goal is to be an American heavyweight world champion, and an impressive performance in a tough matchup with Jerry Forrest will be a significant step in his quest to the title.



“Otto Wallin is an example of what happens when you combine dreams and hard work. He grew up in a small town in Sweden and aims to challenge for the heavyweight world title and follow in the footsteps of Ingemar Johansson. Otto is fighting a proven veteran in BJ Flores who’s only losses have been in world title fights, so I expect it will be an exciting matchup from the opening bell.”



The 25-year-old Franklin (18-0, 13 KOS), from Saginaw, Mich., is a former amateur standout and a 2014 National Golden Gloves Champion. A likely candidate to represent the U.S. ved 2016 Olympiske Lege, Franklin turned down the opportunity to compete for a spot on the team and instead chose to begin his professional career in 2015. Widely regarded as the top American heavyweight prospect, Franklin has built his undefeated record with relative ease since turning pro, knocking out nine of his first 10 professional opponents. Franklin made his SHOWTIME debut in the co-featured bout of the Claressa Shields vs. Christina Hammer event in April, earning a unanimous decision over former No. 1-rangeret US. amatør Rydell Booker.



“In my SHOWTIME debut earlier this year, I felt I could have put on a better show but I won and that’s most important,” Franklin said. “Winning this fight is an important step toward my dreams of fighting for a heavyweight championship. This fight also is a chance for the fans to see me more focused and prepared. Jerry Forrest has been around the game for a while and he brings a lot of skills to the ring. I will be ready for him.”



Forrest (25-2, 19 KOS), af Newport News, Va., has won eighteen consecutive bouts since dropping back-to-back contests to world title challenger Gerald Washington and Michael Hunter, whose only professional loss came to former undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. Forrest, a 6-foot-1 southpaw, scored an eight-round unanimous decision over Joshua Tufte his last time out in April.



“This is a long time coming for me,” said Forrest. “My record and my potential are definitely worthy to fight in the main event on national television. This is where I should be. I’m very comfortable and I’m not at all overwhelmed. I’ve fought in the Nationals and big tournaments and I’m not afraid of the spotlight. Franklin throws a lot of punches and tries to bully you out. He’s not super accurate from what I see. He’s a heavyweight who will try to outwork you. I see him as a very similar fighter to Andy Ruiz. My training is going great, I haven’t been out of shape in two years. I’ve been in the gym grinding and doing it old school.”



Wallin (20-0, 13 KOS, 1 ND) gjorde hans US. debut on SHOWTIME in April, also on the undercard of Shields-Hammer, but his fight with Nick Kisner was cut short after an accidental headbutt left Kisner unable to continue, resulting in a No Decision. The 6-foot-5 Wallin turned pro in 2013 and has gradually risen in the rankings by recording 20 straight wins in Europe prior to his American debut. The 28-year-old southpaw won the Swedish Boxing Championship at 16-years-old, fought against Anthony Joshua twice as an amateur and was a member of the Swedish National Boxing Team. Currently ranked in the top-ten by both the WBA and IBF, Wallin now has his sights set on becoming his country’s first Heavyweight Champion since Ingemar Johansson in 1960.



“My U.S. debut did not go the way I had hoped and I didn’t get a chance to show off my skills,” said Wallin. “I’m really looking forward to going out there again getting a chance to show a lot more. This is a fight I need to win if I want to go somewhere. I need to win and I need to look good doing it. I need to be sharp at all times and not take anything for granted. This is a sport where everything can change in the blink of an eye.”



Blomster (34-4-1, 21 KOS) blev professionel i 2003 and has enjoyed a long, successful career competing mostly as a cruiserweight. Undefeated through the first seven years and 25 kampe i hans karriere, Flores suffered his first setback when he traveled to Australia to challenge Danny Green for his IBO Cruiserweight world title, dropping a unanimous decision. The Arizona native bounced back by winning eight of his next nine fights before getting a second chance at a world title, again traveling to his opponent’s hometown. Denne gang, Flores was stopped by WBC Cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew in Liverpool. Flores has since moved to heavyweight, where he has won two of his three fights.



“Not only is this a winnable fight for me, Jeg er 100 percent winning this,” said Flores. “I’m working with [undervisere] Angel Heredia and Ibn Cason and world class heavyweight Kubrat Pulev. Working with this team is perfect for getting my strength and conditioning up for this fight, and sparring with one of the top guys in the world in Pulev is making me very sharp. I know Wallin is undefeated and has a good amateur style. He’s tall and has good boxing ability. I know he’s got some talent and is a young up and coming guy. He’ll be trying to make a name for himself off of my name, so I’ll be ready for that.”



Barry Tompkins vil kalde handlingen fra ringside med boksehistorikeren Steve Farhood og den tidligere verdensmester Raul Marquez, der fungerer som ekspertanalytikere. Den udøvende producent Gordon Hall med Richard Gaughan producere og Rick Phillips dirigere.

CORONA, Calif. – May 10, 2019 – Undefeated prospect Ruben Villa stayed true to his calm and consistent style, recording a unanimous decision over Luis Alberto Lopez in his first main-event appearance on ShoBox: Den nye generation Friday from Omega Products Events Center in Corona, Calif.



The judges’ scorecards read 98-92, 97-93 og 96-94 in the featherweight bout, although all three ShoBox commentators had Villa winning each round except the 10th omgang, giving the final round to Lopez (17-2, 8 KOS) in a fight that saw nearly 1,400 punches thrown.



“I give myself a ‘C’ grade,” said Villa, making his second consecutive ShoBox udseende. “He was a tough opponent and had a real awkward style and wasn’t really a boxer. It took me awhile to adjust to him and it was hard not to get frustrated.”



Taken the 10-round distance for the first time in his career, the 22-year-old Villa (16-0, 5 KOS) af Salinas, Calif., took the first two rounds to get used to the top-15 ranked contender Lopez’s awkward style before he began landing heavy body shots to dominate the third round.



I den syvende runde, Villa out-jabbed Lopez and continued the onslaught of body punches in the ninth round, but was not able to get the knockout against the game Lopez.



“I agreed with the judges’ scorecards,” the two-time National Golden Gloves Amateur Champion Villa said. “I still got the unanimous decision win so I have no problem with that. I can take a whole lot from this fight tonight.”



Lopez was coming off an upset victory over Ray Ximenez in his U.S. debut in February but could not repeat the feat against the highly regarded Villa.



“I hit him with the better shots,” Lopez said. “I was consistently throwing and landing the power shots while he was just jabbing. Jeg følte mig godt. It’s a complicated to fight a lefty, but I thought I landed the punches that scored.”



I co-feature, undefeated 21-year-old rising prospect Michael Dutchover (13-0, 10 KOS) made quick work of late replacement Rosekie Cristobal (15-4, 11 KOS) af Filippinerne, connecting on a right-left combination to Cristobal’s liver that sent him to both knees before being counted out by referee Zachary Young at 1:46 of the first round of a scheduled eight-round super lightweight contest.



I sin ShoBox debut, Dutchover of Santa Fe Springs, Calif., by way of Midland, Texas, recorded six body connects among his 11 landed power punches in the fight that lasted just 109 sekunder.



“I have to be able to adjust,” said Dutchover, a runner-up at the 2016 National Golden Gloves and a bronze medalist in the 2016 Olympiske kvalifikationsturneringer. “I was given a tall lefty on short notice due to the original opponent dropping out. Part of being a professional is being able to adapt. It’s nothing I haven’t seen before. I’ve seen pretty much every style through the amateurs and now during sparring sessions as a pro.”



Dutchover added: “I was patient and waited for the open shots. He wasn’t covering up the body so that was my target. The plan from the beginning was to break him down. I’m just happy I was able to end it early and give the fans something to talk about.”



Ved indledningen Bout af tripleheader, undefeated bantamweight prospect Saul Sanchez (12-0, 7 KOS) recorded an eighth-round knockout against Brandon Benitez (14-2, 6 KOS) in an entertaining and all-action fight.



After an even first round, Sanchez and Benitez continued to trade shots over the first three rounds before Benitez’s legs began to betray him and he tired midway through the fourth, slowing the pace of the fight considerably. Sanchez, of North Hollywood, Calif., landed three huge punches that staggered Benitez as the fourth round came to a close, stoking the undefeated prospect with confidence as the fight reached progressed to the later rounds.



I den syvende runde, Mexico’s Benitez suffered an injury over his right eye from a Sanchez punch, and referee Raul Caiz Jr. warned Benitez prior to the eight round to protect himself. At the start of the eighth round, a flush right hand by the 21-year-old Sanchez connected cleanly and Caiz Jr. stepped in and stopped the fight after just 18 sekunder.



“I felt strong throughout the fight,” Sanchez said. “Benitez was tough so I had to be careful and aggressive at the same time. I know I hurt him a handful of times, but I know I can do better. My conditioning was great. I was ready to go the distance.”



Sanchez out-landed the 21-year-old Benitez 145-94 overall and 123-78 in power connects while landing 42 percent of his power shots to Benitez’s 29 procent.



“I was responding well in every round,” said Benitez from Queretaro, Mexico. “I don’t know why the referee stopped it. I had a lot more left. I’m just disappointed I wasn’t allowed to finish the fight.”



Middleweight contender and 2018 champion of The Contender champion Brandon Adams was interviewed during Friday’s telecast to discuss his June 29 SHOWTIME Championship Boxing® showdown with undefeated Jermall Charlo, which was announced earlier on Friday.



“I’m a new face,” Adams told Hall of Famer Steve Farhood. “I’m in the top 10. I’m in the discussion and I think that’s enough to shake everything up. The guy that comes out to nowhere is a great story for boxing.



“I hope I get the best Charlo because I’m bringing the best ‘Cannon.’ I’m very fan friendly and I definitely go for the kill. When I get in the ring I like to entertain myself. I’m very much looking forward to fighting Charlo. It’s going to be exciting.”



Friday’s fights were promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing. The full telecastwill replay on Monday, Maj 12 på 10 p.m. ET/PT på SHOWTIME EXTREME og vil være tilgængelig på SHOWTIME ALTID® og SHOWTIME på DEMAND®.

“This ShoBox show brings back former amateur standout Ruben Villa in his toughest test to date as he continues his quest to turn from prospect to contender,”Sagde Gordon Hall, Executive Producer af ShoBox: Den nye generation. “We get to see for the first time unbeaten Michael Dutchover, der gik 130-17 i amatører, and now faces his first unbeaten opponent. In the opener, we have ShoBox newcomer and unbeaten Saul Sanchez who will try to stand out against a once beaten opponent. All three top amateurs, top pro prospects and looking to make a name for themselves as must see fighter. Only time will tell.”



“I am very excited for Ruben [Villa] and Michael [Dutchover],” said Artie Pelullo, Koncernchef, Banner Kampagner. “Ruben is headlining the May 10 ShoBox in just his second time on the network. There is a lot of pressure on this 22-year-old, as he is expected to achieve and produce great things due to his amateur background. Michael is the diamond in the rough. Also an amateur standout who has power in either hand, he is looking for this SHOWTIME event to be his coming out party.”



“This is our 19th anniversary and what better way to celebrate it than with three of our top prospects fighting on ShoBox,” said Ken Thompson, Præsident, Thompson Boksning. “It will be a real pleasure to put on a heck of a show alongside our friend Artie Pelullo as we witness Ruben [Villa], Michael [Dutchover] and Saul [Sanchez] take huge steps towards stardom.”



Villa, who started boxing when he was just five years old, compiled an impressive 166-17 rekord som amatør. The Salinas, Calif. native was a two-time Junior Olympic National Champion and the 2014 og 2015 National Golden Gloves Champion. He owns impressive amateur victories over Shakur Stevenson, Davin Haney and Gary Antonio Russell.



Villa has registered 15 consecutive professional victories since turning pro in 2016 shortly after the Olympic Trials, including a dominating unanimous decision over Cervera in his ShoBox debut in January. A legitimate prospect, Villa hopes to continue his rapid ascension in the featherweight ranks with an impressive showing against Lopez.



“I am very excited to get the opportunity to headline on ShoBox after being the co-feature earlier this year,” said Villa. “I have been working really hard and getting good sparring in Riverside. My opponent is 17-1, and he has won some regional titles. He is no stick in the mud. I know he comes forward and that should make for an exciting fight. I am looking to put on a great performance because I know a win will open doors for bigger fights.”



Lopez, a native of Mexicali, Mexico, is coming off the biggest win of his career. I sin US. debut and first fight outside of Mexico, Lopez won a technical decision over prospect Ray Ximenez to pick up the vacant WBO International Featherweight title. Ranked the No. 11 featherweight in the world by the WBO, the 21-year-old Lopez has won his last five bouts since suffering his only defeat as a pro to Abraham Montoya in 2018.



“I have a belt for a reason and I’m going to defend it proudly on May 10,” said Lopez. “I know Ruben Villa is regarded as a top prospect, but I know I’m better than him and I’m planning to show the world on May 10th."



The 21-year-old Dutchover, from Midland, Texas, began boxing when he was eight years old compiling a notable amateur record. He was a runner-up at the 2016 National Golden Gloves and a Bronze Medalist in the 2016 Olympiske kvalifikationsturneringer. Turning pro in 2016 i en alder af 18, Dutchover has won his first 12 professionelle kampe, including knockouts in his last four bouts.



“I’m very excited, I’ve been working for this opportunity all my life,” said Dutchover, who now trains in Los Angeles under the tutelage of Danny Zamora. “I know my opponent is tough and durable. Being on ShoBoxis a great opportunity and it is the next steppingstone to reach my ultimate goal, and that is to become world champion.”

Chilean-born Mascarena, who currently resides in Tijuana, Mexico and trains in San Diego, Calif., blev professionel i 2017 and has compiled a perfect record through his first ten contests—all within just 12 måneder. Fighting exclusively in his home country, Mascarena will finally be able to make his U.S. debut after he had a fight fall through in late 2018 and a second fight cancelled in February. Mascarena, who has fought mostly at 140 pounds, has not fought since his unanimous decision victory over Hector Medina 10 måneder siden.



“I’ve been in top share for a while now, I was set to fight in February but my fight got cancelled,” said the 25-year-old Mascarena. “I come from a family of boxers and we take the sweet science very seriously. Den May 10, I will not only be fighting to make a good impression in my U.S. debut, I will be fighting for my family and my entire country. I will make them proud.”



The 21-year-old Sanchez, of Encino, Calif., began boxing when he was eight and compiled an amateur record of 90-18 before turning pro at 19 år. Fighting exclusively in his home state of California, Sanchez has built up an 11-0 record under famed trainer Joel Diaz. The brother of featherweight prospect Emilio Sanchez, Saul is coming off a majority decision over Luis Fernando Saavedra but faces a stiff step-up in competition against Benitez.



“I’ve always dreamed of having an opportunity like this,” said Sanchez. “To fight on national television against a tough guy like Benitez. I know this fight will not be easy, men jeg er klar. I will shine on May 10.”



Benitez, from Queretaro, Mexico, has stayed busy in late 2018 and early 2019, fighting four times in a span of six months. The 21-year-old, who fought 186 times as an amateur, is the lone blemish on featherweight prospect Chaise Nelson’s resume. Benitez has won five fights in a row since the only loss of his career, which came to then 10-0 and current 20-0 Mexican Irving Turrubiartes.



“I’m young and hungry and I know Saul Sanchez is a great opponent for me, but I’m not concerned about him,” said Benitez. “I don’t think he does anything special in the ring. Jeg gør, I’m confident I will win. I’m going for the KO.”

.



“Mayweather Promotions is excited to bring the Sin City Showdown back this year, as it is home to a roster of talented prospects,” sagde Leonard Ellerbe, CEO for Mayweather Promotions. “The card features three of our young talented undefeated prospects Angelo Leo, Xavier Martinez, and Andres Cortes making their television debuts. It’s exciting to see these guys climb the ranks, as they look to take their careers to the next level. Each one of them will be facing tough competition on fight night. I expect nothing but fireworks.”



“We have three unbeaten and untested prospects ready for the next step of their careers in Angelo Leo, Xavier Martinez and Andres Cortes,”Sagde Gordon Hall, Executive Producer, Senior Vice President, Production, Showtime Networks Inc. "ShoBox is all about introducing and developing new talent. It’s about pushing young prospects outside of their comfort zone, matching them tough and discovering the next generation of champions in the process. I look forward to see whether or not Leo, Martinez and Cortes will rise to the occasion.”



Originally from New Mexico and currently residing in Las Vegas, Lion, 24, recorded a unanimous decision over Alberto Torres in his 2019 debut on the non-televised undercard of Gervonta Davis vs. Hugo Ruiz. Lion, who started boxing when he was eight, amassed a notable amateur resume, winning the state Golden Gloves and Jr. Golden Gloves Championships before turning pro at 18. Leo debuted under the Mayweather Promotions banner in November of 2017 with a fourth-round knockout of Dominican Republic’s Yasmaly Basilio Peguero-Nieves.



“This fight came to me at the perfect time,” said Leo, who has fought four of his last six bouts at Sam's Town Live. “I’m in great condition coming off my recent fight last month. I think Tabanao is good fighter and a good counter-puncher. He fought good competition and he went the distance with a former world champion, so I know I have a tough fight ahead. He is a dangerous fighter but I have a solid plan. I have a unique style and I think I bring a lot to the table with my speed, angles and body shots. Fans should expect an exciting fight on April 5.”



Tabanao, 24, made his pro debut in 2012 in his home country of the Philippines. He will make his United States debut next month as he looks to move up the super bantamweight ranks. Tabanao won the WBO Oriental Featherweight Title in 2016 with a third-round technical knockout of Ibrahim Balla. In his next fight, Tabanao lost the belt when he dropped a unanimous decision to Isaac Dogboe, who would go on to become the WBO Super Bantamweight World Champion. Tabanao suffered two consecutive defeats after losing to Dogboe but has admirably rebounded by winning his last four bouts.



“My trainer Sonny Dollente is working hard to prepare me for this fight,” said Tabanao. “We know this is our first fight in the States and TV debut, so we are working especially hard to put on a great performance and we thank Mayweather Promotions for this opportunity. Angelo Leo is a good fighter but we have a good strategy. It has always been my dream to represent The Philippines and to be known as a great boxer. This fight will bring me one step closer to my dream.”



Martinez, af Sacramento, Calif., is best known for his crafty and powerful fighting style and is regarded by many as a prospect to watch. After losing his first two amateur fights, he amassed a record of 88-10. He won the Jr. Golden Gloves in 2010, konkurrerede i 2012 og 2013 Nationals Championships and was ranked No. 3 amateur in the country in 2013. He turned pro in Mexico at 17 and joined the Mayweather Promotions team in late 2016 with a unanimous decision win over Wilfredo Garriga at Sam's Town Live. He’s coming off five straight knockout victories, with his most recent being an impressive fifth-round knockout against Deivi Julio Bassa on February 9. Martinez is looking for a statement victory over Moralde to assert his pedigree in the 130-pound division.







“It feels great to get back in the ring,” said Martinez. “I’m happy Mayweather Promotions found another great matchup for me, and on national television. Now it’s time for me to do my part as a fighter by training hard and getting the win. I came in to training camp with a fresh mindset and ready to go to war. I’m ready for whatever Moralde brings to the table. I don’t know much about him other than he has the guts to fight me. I heard two opponents said, ’No,’ to this fight because they didn’t want to face me.”



Moralde, who made his pro debut in 2011 as a 17-year-old, will see his toughest test to date when he meets rising star Martinez. Hailing from Davao del Sur in the Philippines, Moralde, der er 2-2 i sine sidste fire kampe, is looking to redeem himself in this pivotal matchup. Hans US. debut i 2017 didn’t go as planned as he was handed the first loss of his career at the hands of Toka Khan Clary. He rebounded quickly against Ismail Muwendo but lost by decision against Jamel Herring in his next fight. He scored a second-round knockout victory over Elmer Colve in his last outing.

“It feels great to have another opportunity to put my skills on display for the world to see on national TV,” said Moralde. “I’m up against a tough fighter; we both have a tough fight ahead. Jeg er nødt til at afgive en redegørelse. This is the fight that will get me where I want to go. I want to fight the toughest and I’m ready to face anyone they put in front of me.”

Born and raised in Las Vegas, Cortes, 22, fell in love with the sweet science at an early age as he watched his brother Luis at the gym. He started training at Elite Boxing Gym when he was six, alongside Juan Heraldez and Andrew Tabiti, who would later become his Mayweather Promotions stablemates. He had a reported record of 130-20 as an amateur and turned pro in 2016. He caught the attention of Floyd Mayweather while sparring with lightweight champion Gervonta Davis. Cortes joined Mayweather Promotions soon after. He has won four of his last six fights by knockout including his last outing against Eder Amaro Fajardo on January 17. Med en sejr, Cortes will be one step closer to becoming a legitimate contender.



“I’ve only taken off one week from the gym since my last fight in January,” said Cortes. "Jeg føler stor. Jeg er 100 percent prepared for whatever my opponent brings my way. I’ve been working on my power and my strength with my conditioning coach and overall development as a fighter. I’m ready for my next challenge.”



Baltimore’s Dyer, 27, picked up boxing at 19 and after a brief amateur career turned pro in March of 2017. He scored an impressive 22-second first-round knockout of Dwayne Martin in just his third professional bout. He was named 2017 Rookie of the Year by Boxing Along the Beltway, a Washington, D.C. boxing publication, and has won five fights in a row, most recently against promising undefeated prospect Carlos Dixon.



“I’m coming fresh off a fight so I’m still in great shape,” said Dyer. “Andres Cortes is a good fighter, men jeg er en bedre fighter. I’m training to go a full eight rounds, but if I find an opportunity before then, Jeg har tænkt mig at tage det. I’ve been waiting for a chance to show the world how good of a fighter I am, og dette er det. This is my time to show the world who I am.”

MULVANE, Maj. – februar 15, 2019 – Shohjahon Ergashev overvandt en fordel på fem og en halv tomme i højden og registrerede en enstemmig beslutningssejr over den ubesejrede kollega Mykal Fox i den 10-runders superlette hovedbegivenhed i ShoBox: Den nye generation Fredag ​​på SHOWTIME fra Kansas Star Casino.



Med den berømte træner Sugarhill Stewart, der råber instruktioner fra sit hjørne, den Detroit-baserede power-punching Ergashev (16-0, 14 KOS), ved hjælp af Fergana, Usbekistan, gjorde nok for at besejre den rangy 6-fod-4 Fox (19-1, 5 KOS) i en matchup af to spændende ubesejrede udsigter. Pointene blev 96-94 og 98-92 to gange (Klik HER at se).



»Jeg troede ikke, det var en tæt kamp,Sagde Ergashev, som kun var i stand til at lande to jabs hele kampen manglede mere end hundrede gange. "Han var akavet, og hans hoved var meget lavt. Han var også meget lang og høj, så det var svært at slå ham i hovedet. Jeg forventede, at han ville køre hele kampen, og det gjorde han.



Ergashev tilsluttede sig 29 procent af hans magt slag (66 for 225) sammenlignet med Fox kl 27 procent (41 for 153).



Ergashev sagde, at han var skuffet over sin præstation. "Jeg kommer for at kæmpe,"Sagde han. »Jeg kan godt lide kæmpere, der står og kæmper. Jeg er en fighter. Jeg kan godt lide fyre, der lader mig vise mine evner og bang. Fox boksede ikke engang. Han løb bare rundt i ringen. Jeg ville sætte mig ned og kæmpe.”



Den 23-årige Fox of Forest Hill, Md., en af ​​de højeste kæmpere i 140-pund-divisionen, sagde, at han var enig i et af dommernes kort, men ikke de to 98-92'ere. "Jeg vidste, det var tæt på, og tænkte, at jeg måske gjorde nok for at vinde," sagde Fox, som gjorde et godt stykke arbejde med at bremse kampens tempo. "Jeg tror, ​​det var tættere på end 98-92. Jeg tog et par billeder, men jeg vidste, at han ville blive stærk."



Fox blev den 186th fighter til at miste deres ubesejrede rekord i prospect-udviklingsserien.



Fox, som havde sin far Troy og bror og kollega, professionel bokser-mellemvægter Alantez i sit hjørne, blev den niende fighter i ShoBox historie at have en bror, der også kæmpede videre ShoBox slutter sig til broderduoer som Jermall og Jermell Charlo, Andre og Anthony Dirrell og Glenn og Nonito Donaire.



Ved indledningen anfald af telecast, Englands Thomas Ward (26-0, 4 KOS) leverede en imponerende præstation og viste U.S. kampfans, han vil være en kraft at regne med i den vidåbne 122-pund vægtklasse, da han vandt en enstemmig beslutning mod ShoBox veteranen Jesse Hernandez (11-2, 7 KOS).Klik HER for at se en opsummering.



Kæmper for første gang i USA, WBO-nr. 4-rangeret Ward of West Rainton, England, scorede et knockdown i fjerde runde og tog 10-runders superbantamvægtkamp let mod Fort Worths Hernandez. Pointene blev 100-89, 99-90 og 98-90.



“Jeg kom til Amerika og kæmpede mod en hjemmekæmper og vandt ganske komfortabelt, Jeg fik endda en knockdown,” sagde den 24-årige Ward. "Han skulle være puncheren, og jeg skulle være bokseren. Mange mennesker tror, ​​at jeg ikke kan slå, så bliver de oversikre og bliver klippet. Så indser de, at jeg kan slå. Se på hans ansigt sammenlignet med mit. Det vil fortælle dig noget."



Ward startede stærkt, og så ud til at blive bedre, efterhånden som kampen fortsatte. »Han har været på gas fra åbningsklokken, og han er ikke sluppet af det,” sagde International Boxing Hall of Famer og ShoBox play-by-play kommentator Barry Tompkins i de sidste minutter af 10th og sidste runde.



Ward overskred tocifrede forbindelser i hver runde og toppede 30 i fem af de sidste seks runder, mens Hernandez kun nåede tocifret tre gange.



Det var en ren venstre hook, der sendte Hernandez til lærredet i de sidste sekunder af fjerde runde (KlikHER at se). Ward kontrollerede midten af ​​kampen og landede konsekvente treslagskombinationer mod Hernandez, som i slutningen af ​​runde seks blev advaret af dommer Bill Clancy om, at han tog en masse straf og var nødt til at vise ham noget, ellers ville han stoppe kampen. På toppen af ​​den niende, Dommeren er stadig bekymret over Hernandez manglende handling, ringede til lægen og stillede endnu en gang det samme spørgsmål. Lægen gav Hernandez tilladelse til at fortsætte.



Hernandez sagde, at han følte Wards magt, og var imponeret. "Yeah, han fik mig med det tilbage, men jeg kom mig,"Sagde han. "Men al ære til ham. Et knockdown er et knockdown."



Ward sagde, at Hernandez bad om kampen, men var ikke forberedt på det. "Jeg vidste, at han var en god, erfaren fighter,"Ward sagde. »Han har kæmpet mod nogle gode fyre og slået nogle gode fyre ud. Han skal være en puncher, men jeg var bare på et andet niveau i aften.



"Jeg ville have en god kamp for at vise mine færdigheder, og jeg er glad for, at folkene fortsætter ShoBox skal se det."



Farhood interviewede den ubesejrede mellemvægtverdensmester Claressa Shields før hovedbegivenheden. Shields og andre ubesejrede mester Christina Hammer mødes på lørdag, April 13 live på SHOWTIME for at krone kvindernes ubestridte verdensmester på 160 pund. Blockbuster-foreningen fra Boardwalk Hall i Atlantic City, N.J. bliver hovedbegivenheden i SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL UDGAVElive at 9 p.m. ET/PT og er uden tvivl den mest betydningsfulde kvindeboksebegivenhed i historien (Klikhttps://s.sho.com/2UVWXtE for at se hele interviewet).



Shields talte om hendes foragt for Hammer. "Jeg vil beholde det 100 procent professionel," hun sagde. "Jeg kan ikke lide hende som person, men det betyder ikke noget. Jeg vil gerne slå hende godt. Hun er bare sur, fordi jeg er mere ond over, at hende og jeg er bedre end hende. Jeg er GLOAT. Den største dame nogensinde. Jeg kæmper mod enhver person, som de siger, jeg ikke kan slå. Jeg vil samle min division. Jeg vil være den ubestridte mester, og ingen vil være i stand til at sige andet."



Fredagens kampe blev promoveret af Salita Promotions. Hele tv-udsendelsen afspilles på mandag, Februar 18 på 10 p.m. ET/PT på SHOWTIME EXTREME og vil være tilgængelig på SHOWTIME ALTID® og SHOWTIME på DEMAND®.

Ellis (15-0-2, 10 KOS), who recently sparred with Canelo Alvarez and Sergey Kovalev, vender tilbage tilShoBox for the fourth time seeking a statement win. The Lynn, Mass., native faces Ware (12-1-2, 8 KOS), a come-forward fighter out of Toledo, Ohio who trained with Tony Harrison in preparation for his upset win over Jermell Charlo.
 
Arrangementet bliver fremmet af GH3 Promotions i samarbejde med Greg Cohen Promotions. Tickets can be purchased by calling 585-232-3221.
 
Ved indledningen anfald af telecast, undefeated lightweights Thomas Mattice and Will Madera will face off in an eight-round 135-pound matchup. Like Ellis, Mattice (13-0-1, 10 KOS), Cleveland, returns for his fourth bout on the prospect developmental series. Madera (12-0-2, 6 KOS), a three-time New York Golden Gloves Champion out of Albany, N.Y., will make his television debut.
 
The scheduled televised opener between Abraham Nova and Oluwaseun Joshua Wahab was cancelled after Wahab was forced to withdraw from the bout due to immigration issues entering the U.S. from Ghana.
 
AFSLUTTENDE VÆGT
 
Super Middleweight 10-Round Bout
Ronald Ellis – 167 ½ pund
DeAndre Ware – 166 ¾ Pounds
 
Lightweight 8-Round Bout
Thomas Mattice – 134 ¼ Pounds
Will Madera – 134 ½ pund
 
 
AFSLUTTENDE citater:
 
RONALD ELLIS 
 
“It’s my fourth time onShoBox, this time I have to get it right, this time I have to go out with a bang.
 
“I’m going to show a lot, I’m going to show boxing, banging, whatever they want to see we’re going to bring.
 
“I trained at Buddy McGirt’s new boxing gym in Northridge, Calif. I sparred Canelo Alvarez for his last fight and was in camp with Sergey Kovalev for his fight this weekend.
 
“I learned a lot from Canelo and Kovalev. I feel like sparring with them gave me an edge, so I’m going to look like a whole different fighter in there. Canelo is more compact and he comes a little bit faster. Kovalev, he’s big and he’s a banger.
 
“DeAndre Ware is tough. He’s just a real tough guy who comes to fight. He got a lot of heart and he’s just going to do what he got to do. He’s not going to stick and move. He’s going to be there all night unless I get him out. I think his game plan is just going to be to come in and do what he does.
 
“I think it’s a perfect fight for SHOWTIME. This one is going to be entertaining.”
 
 
DeANDRE WARE
 
"Jeg føler mig godt, feeling strong. We had a full camp this time around so I’m looking for good things. My training camp was about six to eight weeks at the Glass City Gym in Toledo. Prior to that, I was in Tony Harrison’s camp helping him to get ready to fight (Jermell) Charlo.
 
“Sparring was great, it was probably the best sparring and best camp I’ve had so far. I only had about 12 days to prepare for my last fight and I’m in much better shape this time. I think that’s going to play a big difference in this fight tomorrow night.
 
“Ronald Ellis is just another guy in my way. I think Ellis is a tough fighter. From what I’ve seen, he’s a come-forward guy. He tries to box a little bit – there’s skill. I respect anybody that gets in that ring, but come fight time, all that stuff goes out the door. I’m coming to win.”
 
 
THOMAS MATTICE
 
“It’s a great feeling to come back toShoBox for the fourth time. Min sidste kamp [a draw against Hamazaryan] was a great fight, a very exciting fight, but I thought I edged it five rounds to three. We’re going to do what we have to do to make sure this fight doesn’t turn out like that.”
 
“If I use my skills and my ability to use the ring it should help me tomorrow night. I don’t really know much about my opponent, I haven’t watched him since he was a last-second opponent and I got him like two weeks ago.
 
“Training camp was great. We were training for a southpaw and then they switched it when my opponent switched but I’m confident and I feel ready.
 
“I’m better than what I’ve shown in the past. My plan is to show that tomorrow night.”
 
WILL MADERA
 
"Jeg føler stor, I’m confident and I’m looking to put on a show. I had a great camp, I trained hard and I have no worries.
 
“For tomorrow, the key is pressure, intelligent pressure. I don’t want to come in overwhelming myself but still keep the pressure on him.
 
“Our styles should make for an exciting fight. If I bring the pressure it’s going to be a fun fight
 
[The Hamazaryan fight] was controversial. The first fight was a really close fight and I think if I apply the same pressure and fight smarter, I’ll get the victory.
 
“I’ve been waiting for an opportunity like this. Now I just need to finish the job.”

UNDEFEATED SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT RONALD ELLIS LOOKS TO GET NEW ENGLAND SPORTS OFF TO A GREAT START IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION THIS FRIDAY, Februar 1 LIVE ON SHOWTIME®

Efterlad en kommentar


Ellis Takes On DeAndre Ware In Main Event Of Tripleheader Beginning Live At 10 p.m. ET/PT From Main Street Armory In Rochester, N.Y..


NEW YORK – Januar 29, 2019 – Undefeated super middleweight prospect and Massachusetts native Ronald Ellis (15-0-2, 10 KOS) will look to set the tone for a successful sports weekend for New England when he takes on DeAndre Ware (12-1-2, 8 KOS) in the 10-round main event of ShoBox: The New Generation this Friday live on SHOWTIME (10 PM ET/PT).

Kampen, which will take place at The Main Street Armory in Rochester, New York, will serve as another opportunity for Ellis, a native of Lynn, Massachusetts.

Ellis, who is a huge fan of his beloved New England Patriots, is eager to earn a big win and then return to his new residence in Los Angeles to see Tom Brady bring home a record sixth Super Bowl title.

“My camp went beautiful. I have had a couple camps in a row, so I was able to work on a lot of things. I learned a lot in this camp,” said Ellis.

The 29-year-old Ellis knows that he has a tough customer in front of him in once-beaten Ware.

“Ware is a solid fighter. He is real tough, and he comes forward. He is not a tall guy, but he makes up with it with his toughness. He is a former football player, and he likes to come forward, so I know he will be there.”

This will be the fourth appearance on ShoBox for Ellis, and he feels that a strong performance will lead him to major fights in the next year.

“I år, I have to execute. Now it’s time to perform. I just need to keep fighting, and if that happens I feel that I will be in line for a title shot in the next year. There is a lot of talent in the division, and now it’s time to knuckle up and all fight each other. I feel that I can compete with the elite of the division.”

When talking about the Patriots, Ellis lights up. He has been a fan of the team since he was a youth growing up in the Boston suburbs.

“It’s is going to be a great game. Ironisk nok, I moved to Los Angeles to train a couple of years ago, and for the last week all I’ve been hearing about is the Rams. It has been fun going at with the guys in the gym about the game, but I will always represent the Patriots. I am going to get the state of Massachusetts off to a good start on Friday, and the Patriots will have their arms raised on Sunday.”

Ellis and Ware headline a tripleheader that will also feature undefeated lightweights Thomas Mattice (13-0-1, 10 KOS) of Cleveland taking on Will Madera (12-0-2, 6 KOS) af Albany, New York in an eight-round bout. The broadcast kicks off with a eight-round super featherweight contest between undefeated fighters Abraham Nova (14-0, 10 KOS) af Albany, New York and Oluwaseun Joshua Wahab (18-0, 11 KOS) af Accra, Ghana.

Billetter til live event, which is promoted by GH3 Promotions in association with Greg Cohen Promotions, er prissat til $100 for VIP Ringside, $50 for Preferred Seating, $30 for General Admission og $2,000 for VIP Tables. Tickets can be purchased by calling 585-232-3221.

UBESEJREDE SUPERLETT UDSIGT SHOHJAHON ERGASHEV OG MYKAL FOX TIL HEADLINE SHOBOX: DEN NYE GENERATION PÅ FREDAG, Februar 15 LIVE ON SHOWTIME®

Efterlad en kommentar

NEW YORK - Januar 16, 2019 – Et 10-runders sammenstød mellem ubesejrede super letvægtsudsigter vil give overskriften ShoBox: Den nye generation når Usbekistans power-puncher Shohjahon Ergashev tager imod Mykal Fox Friday, Februar 15 live på SHOWTIME fra Kansas Star Casino i Mulvane, Maj.

Den anden af ​​to februar-udgaver af prospektet udviklingsserier vil indeholde fire kæmpere med en samlet rekord på 71 vinder mod kun ét nederlag. Den ubesejrede supermellemvægtsudsigter Ronald Ellis vil tage på DeAndre Ware overskrifter en tre-kampShoBoxudsendelse i februar 1.

I februar 15 co-featured kamp, 28-årigeShoBox veteranen Jesse Angel Hernandez vender tilbage at møde WBO nr. 4-rangeret Thomas Ward i, hvad der vil være hans hårdeste test karriere i en 10-runders superbantamvægtkamp.

“Shohjahon Ergashev er en af ​​de hårdeste slagere i alle boksning. Han vil stå over for en udfordring i de ubesejrede dygtige, målbevidst fighter i Mykal Fox. En stor kamp, ​​hvis vinder vil cementere sig selv som en af ​​de bedste i Jr. Weltervægt division,sagde Dmitriy Salita, Præsident for Salita Promotions. "Co-hovedbegivenheden er én af de bedste kampe i superbantamvægt-divisionen mellem to gennemprøvede verdener titelkandidater. En rigtig cross road kamp med masser på spil om vinderen at dukke op som det nye dominerende navn i den talentfulde superbantamvægt division."

Den 27-årige Ergashev (15-0, 14 KOS) er tidligere medlem af det usbekiske landshold, hvor han vandt 202 sin 216 amatørkampe. EN dekoreret amatør, Ergashev ejer en sejr over Usbekistans Shakhram Giyasov, -en sølvvinder i weltervægtsafdelingen ved 2016 OL i Rio.

Ergashev, som startede sin pro-karriere ved at registrere sig 11 på hinanden følgende knockouts, gjort sitShoBox debut i januar 2018, afleverer dengang ubesejrede og top-10 rangerede 140-pund udsigt Sonny Fredrickson det eneste tab i sin karriere med en tredje runde TKO. Det southpaw slugger, som blev udnævnt til en af ​​ESPNs største udsigter til 2018, tog ind Detroit under Javan "Sugar" Hill Steward og Rick Phillips på den berømte Kronk Gym i Detroit.

“Jeg er meget spændt på at kæmpe på SHOWTIME igen,Sagde Ergashev. "Alle siger, at Mykal Fox er min hårdeste modstander til dato, men det gør det ikke bekymre mig. Det ophidser mig faktisk, fordi når jeg slår ham ud, ligesom jeg slog Sonny Fredrickson ud, alle mestrene i min vægtklasse vil ved, at jeg snart kommer efter dem. Det bliver Shoh-time in 2019!"

I modsætning til sin modstander, Fox, 23, havde en stenet amatørrejse samlende 40 vinder og 60 tab - to af hans sejre kom over ubesejret top udsigt til Lamont Roach. Fox, 6-fod 3 ½-tommer fra Forestville, Md., indrømmet at han ikke var disciplineret og fuldt ud engageret i den søde videnskab i hans teenage år, men en gang blev han professionel 2014 alt ændrede sig og boksning blev hans levevis. Siden, han har besejret alle sine 19 modstandere, fem i form af knockout. Fox, som fremmes af King Promotions, ejer sejre over folk som den tidligere verdensmester DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley, Richard Garcia og Anthony Mercado.

Fox kommer fra en familie af boksere. Han er oplært af sin far Troy og hans ældre bror og fhvShoBox fighter Alantez (24-1-1, 11 KOS) er en 160 pund prospekt, hvis eneste nederlag kom af Demetrius Andrade.

»Det har været min drøm at kæmpe videreShoBox. Det har katapulteret karrierer for nogle af mine yndlingskæmpere," sagde Fox, der får sin debut på serien. "Jeg håber, at det også vil slynge min karriere.

"Min modstander er en god fighter. Han har gode fødder, god fart og stor magt. Dette bliver en kamp, ​​der potentielt kan stjæle showet. jeg ser frem til at se, hvordan vores stilarter matcher."

Hernandez (12-1, 7 KOS) brød ind på stedet 2017 med back-to-back sejre over tidligere ubesejrede, top-15 rangerede kæmpere påShoBox– en enstemmig beslutning om Glenn Dezurn og en femte runde TKO af Vladimir Tikhonov. Hernandez fulgte op på dem forestillinger med en split-decision over Ernesto Garza i januar 2018. Det 28-årige Hernandez, den yngste af 15 børn, var 73-6 som amatør og tog fem års pause fra boksning mellem 2009 og 2014 at arbejde med byggeopgaver i sin hjemby Fort Worth, Texas.

"I februar 15, fans kan forvente at se den bedste præstation fra Jesse Hernandez endnu,sagde Hernandez, som skal lave sin fjerde udseende påShoBox. "Det har været længe undervejs, og jeg vil ikke lade denne mulighed gå fra mig. En sejr over Thomas Ward vil helt sikkert booste min karriere og forhåbentlig føre til en verden titelbillede. Jeg ved, at jeg vil have alle øjne på mig på nationalt tv, jeg må imponere. Jeg tror, ​​at bantamvægt-divisionen er min at tage. Så det vil jeg gå hovedet og tag det, der retmæssigt er mit."

Ward kommer fra County Durham i det nordøstlige England, hvor han udarbejdet en amatøroptegnelse af 60 vinder, kun fire tab.

Watch the Haney KnockdownHER

SHREVEPORT – January 12, 2019 – Devin Haney passed the biggest test of his young career Friday night onShoBox: Den nye generation, kicking off the 2019 boxing year with a dazzling performance and unanimous decision victory over fellow undefeated former South African champion Xolisani Ndongeni live on SHOWTIME from StageWorks of Louisiana.

Haney (21-0, 13 KOS) scored a second-round knockdown and wore Ndongeni (25-1, 13 KOS) down with punishing body shots in the latter part of the fight in winning easily on all three judges’ scorecards, 100-89 to gange, and 99-90.See the second-round knockdownHER.

Haney told SHOWTIME’s Steve Farhood in the ring after the fight he only wants to be considered a contender from here on out. “I want those top guys,"Sagde han. “Now they really can’t deny me. I’ve been saying this for a long time but now, I’m a contender.”See the post-fight interviewHER. 

The knockdown came at 1:30 of the second round as a Haney right hand landed flush knocking the unbalanced Ndongeni to the canvas. But it was Haney’s body shots that wore out the stubborn Ndongeni, who was fighting in the United States for just the second time. Haney badly wanted to end the fight with a knockout, even telling his father Bill Haney between rounds, “I’m going to knock him out!"

"Han er en fantastisk fighter,” said Haney, who with the victory takes home the WBO Intercontinental and WBC International belts. “You don’t make it to 25-0 without being anybody. I knew it was going to be tough opponent from the very beginning. He’s a really good fighter and I didn’t choose him. That was the opponent that came up and you know me, I don’t turn down anybody. I fight whoever comes in front of me.”

Farhood said 2019 could be the year Haney fights for a world title. “I’m impressed because he showed a side of himself that we hadn’t seen before,” the International Boxing Hall of Famer Farhood said. “For a young fighter, although he’s very skilled, you want to see him handle all kinds of situations. He went to the body effectively and if the fight goes 30 seconds longer he gets the stoppage. Is a world title fight in 2019 a possibility? Bestemt. Just because he’s 20 doesn’t mean he’s not good enough. It’s clear there’s no one that’s going to out-box him.”

Farhood finally gave Ndongeni a round for the first time in the seventh as he used some effective body work to control the round, although never visibly hurting Haney or putting him in too much danger.

As the fight went deeper and deeper, Haney just kept getting stronger. In the final two rounds, he led 69-28 on overall landed punches (16-6 jabs and 53-22 magt). In the final minute of the final round, Haney out-landed Ndongeni 23-3 in total connects.

“I’m getting stronger with each fight and I feel my man strength emerging,” Haney said. “Ndongeni is a very durable fighter. I attribute his big heart for keeping him in the fight. I knew I was the superior fighter. I showed everyone I can fight coming forward, Jeg kan box, I can bang, I do it all. Jeg er klar…no one is stopping me.”

In a battle of undefeated Rubens, former decorated amateur Ruben Villa (15-0, 5 KOS) handed Colombian Ruben Cervera (10-1, 9 KOS) his first career defeat scoring a dominating unanimous decision, 80-72 on all three scorecards in the eight-round featherweight co-feature bout.See fight highlightsHER.

The 21-year-old two-time Junior Olympic National Champion and the 2014 og 2015 National Golden Gloves Champion from Salinas, Calif., Villa outworked and outperformed the slower but determined Cervera en route to a decisive decision victory.

“It felt good fighting on the big stage and I got the victory against a very tough undefeated fighter,” the one-time Olympic alternate Villa said. “I felt I controlled the entire fight with my superior boxing skills. I’m ready to step up to the next level. I’m taking on all comers no matter who they are, I feel I’m the best featherweight in the world.”

In the sixth round, Villa got to work featuring a strong right hand and following up with jabs and combinations that seemed to buzz Cevera, who was out-landed on punches in the round 35-5.

The jab was the key weapon for Villa as he led 105-23 in connects as well as holding a 36 percent to eight percent advantage in jab accuracy. Villa exceeded double-digits in jabs in every round but the first.

The lefty Villa said visiting Riverside and spending time with noted trained Robert Garcia has helped his game. “I’ll give myself an 8 eller 9 i aften,"Sagde han. “I believe in my speed. I know there are guys like [Abner] Mares and [Lion] Santa Cruz who people know, but visiting Riverside let me see I can step in there with anyone.”

Cevera became the 182ND career fighter to lose his undefeated record onShoBox. “I knew Ruben Villa was a very fast fighter because I saw some video of him, but I didn’t know he was that fast,” Cervera said. “He’s much faster when you see him inside the ring. I tried everything I could but my distance was off. I was able to hit them with a couple of combinations and he probably felt my power. I don’t disagree with the judges’ decision, he was the better man tonight.”

I fjersynsudsendelse åbneren, Cuban heavyweight Frank Sanchez (11-0, 9 KOS) overcame a 14-minute delay between the first and second rounds knocking out former college football player Willie Jake, Jr. (8-2-1, 2 KOS) på 2:59 af den anden runde. Both fighters sat calmly on their stools as local promoters worked to repair two of the ropes that had fallen from their post.See fight highlightsHER.

After controlling the action in the first round, Frank’s raw punches simply overpowered the heavier Jake, catching him with a glancing right to the head and a cuffing hook to the body that caused Jake to fall face-first to the canvas and the fight was waved off with just one second remaining in the second round.

Sanchez was the more accurate fighter landing 39 percent of his power shots to Jake’s 25 procent. He also outlanded the Indianapolis native in total connects (28-15) and in landed power shots (20-14).

“I wanted to show the world that I’m the new Cuban boxing sensation,” said Sanchez, who grew up in Guantanamo, Cuba, and now resides in Miami. “I didn’t let the ring rope delay affect my performance. I was ready to go no matter what happened. My manager the great Richard Steele [former boxing referee] is already putting together my next fight. I’m coming for everyone in the heavyweight division. All contenders better watch out.”

The event was promoted by Devin Haney Promotions and Bishop Promotions LLC, in association with Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing. The full telecast will replay on Monday, Januar 14 på 10 p.m. ET/PT på SHOWTIME EXTREME og vil være tilgængelig på SHOWTIME ALTID® og SHOWTIME på DEMAND®.
