‘BULL VS. MATADOR’ MATCH-UP OF SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT PROSPECTS BAKHTIYAR EYUBOV VS. NICHOLAS GIVHAN ADDED TO UNDERCARD OF CLARESSA SHIELDS VS. HANNA GABRIELS IBF & WBA WOMEN’S MIDDLEWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION Live At 10 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ/PT
From Masonic Temple in Detroit, Μιχ.; Εισιτήρια για πώληση τώρα

Another exciting battle between well-regarded prospects has been added to the un-televised undercard of Salita Promotions’ “Shields vs. Gabriels” event on Friday, Ιούνιος 22, at the Masonic Temple in Detroit.

 

 

 

In a classic “bull vs. matador” match-up, Kalamazoo, Michigan’s Nicholas “King Beamen” Givhan (21-1-1, 11 KOs) will face undefeated Bakhtiyar “Bakha Bullet” Eyubov (13-0, 11 KOs), from Aktjubinsk, Καζακστάν, επί 10 exciting super-lightweight rounds.

 

 

 

A six-year pro, Nicholas Givhan has had mixed results, ως εδώ, against stronger opposition. He fought to a draw with France’s 8-1 Freddy Durand in August 2015 and suffered his lone setback against undefeated top contender Ivan Baranchyk in March 2016. Givhan has won five straight fights since then and was last seen scoring a unanimous decision over rugged veteran Agustin Cicero last February. Givhan is a smooth boxer with good instincts in the ring. The 32-year-old stands 5’ 9” and has a 68” reach.

 

 

 

“Training is going great. I’m putting the work in and prepping for the big fight,” said Givhan. “I’m a very good boxer and I’m looking forward to showing off my craft with no mistakes.”

 

 

 

Givhan says he respects Eyubov, but is confident of coming out on top.

 

 

 

“I would say he’s the toughest opponent I’ve faced so far. He comes and keeps coming and coming. He’s a very in-tight fighter and has nice power. It’s hard to say how the fight will go. Real fighters adapt to any style, so I can’t say if his style is made for mine. I just know that whatever he brings, I’ll be able to adapt.”

 

 

 

A six-year pro, Brooklyn-based Eyubov is originally from Aktjubinsk, Καζακστάν. A charismatic showman, Eyubov is a fast-rising prospect who has appeared twice on ShoBox: Η νέα γενιά. He stopped then 16-2-1 Jared Robinson in three rounds in January 2016 and took an exciting 10-round split decision from veteran Karim Mayfield in August of the same year. He was last seen in January, when an accidental headbutt forced opponent Maurice Chalmers to quit in round one. The fight was ruled a No Contest. The 31-year-old stands 5’ 6” and has a 65.5” reach.

 

 

 

“I look forward to a great fight on June 22. I am the best junior welterweight in the world – a point I will prove it in this fight,” said Eyubov. “I will show my improved skills, strength and power in the ring. I had a great training camp in Brooklyn, New York, with my trainers Nirmal Lorick and Keith Hewitt. This is a very important fight for me I plan on making a statement and showing the world that I am the best and hardest punching man in the division.”

 

 

 

Eyubov says he’ll be looking for another knockout on June 22.

 

 

 

“I know Givhan is a strong fighter and is in great shape and coming to win. The fight is in his hometown but that’s no problem. My plan is not to leave it to the judges June 22nd can’t come soon enough!"

 

 

 

“This is a significant crossroads fight with each fighter understanding the upside of victory and the doom of defeat,” said event promoter Dmitriy Salita. I know Bakha is hungrier than ever to win this fight and make a statement to the junior welterweight division that he is ready for the best. This match has all the ingredients of a great fight.”

 

 

 

“Shields vs. Gabriels” will feature two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and current Unified Women’s Super Middleweight Champion Claressa Shields attempting to become a two-division world champion against unified 154-pound champion Hanna Gabriels for the vacant IBF and WBA Women’s Middleweight World Championships.

 

 

 

The main event will be televised live on SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION (10 μ.μ. ET / PT) and will also feature highlights of Unified Women’s Middleweight Champion Christina Hammer as she defends her WBC & WBO Titles in her U.S. debut against former world champion Tori Nelson.

 

Εισιτήρια για την εκδήλωση, η οποία προωθείται από Salita προωθήσεις, είναι διαθέσιμα στο Ticketmaster.com or at the Masonic Temple Box Office at (313) 832-7100. VIP tickets are priced at $300, ringside tickets at $125, and remaining tickets at $75, $50 και $35.

Έντμοντον, Καναδάς (Ιούνιος 5, 2018) – Οι καναδοί οπαδοί του μποξ θα έχουν την ευκαιρία να παρακολουθήσουν την πολυαναμενόμενη επιστροφή του“Τσιγγάνος Βασιλιάς,” αήττητος πρώην ενοποιημένος παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής βαρέων βαρών Tyson Fury αυτό το Σάββατο κατά Εκστρατεία “The Real Deal” Εκστρατεία στο 10-στρογγυλό κύριο γεγονός, που προβάλλονται στον Καναδά αποκλειστικά στο Super Channel, ζωντανά από το Manchester Arena στο Μάντσεστερ, Βρετανία.
Είναι Επιστροφή: Fury εναντίον. Εκστρατεία, παρουσιάστηκε από το Frank Warren's Queensbury Promotions, θα προβληθεί αποκλειστικά στο Super Channel σε ολόκληρο τον Καναδά, ξεκινώντας από 2:00 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ / 11:00 π.μ.. PT.
“Δεν θα μπορούσαμε να είμαστε πιο ενθουσιασμένοι που φέρνουμε αυτόν τον πολυαναμενόμενο αγώνα σηματοδοτώντας την επιστροφή του Tyson Fury στον κόσμο του μποξ, στους θεατές μας,” είπε ο Don McDonald, Πρόεδρος και Διευθύνων Σύμβουλος, super Channel. “Αυτός είναι ακριβώς ο τύπος αποκλειστικού περιεχομένου που περίμεναν οι καναδοί οπαδοί του μποξ από το Super Channel Sports και είναι μια ευπρόσδεκτη προσθήκη στον αναπτυσσόμενο κατάλογο των εκδηλώσεων πυγμαχίας marquee.”
Ίσως η πιο πολωτική φιγούρα του μποξ, Μανία (25-0, 15 KOs) έχει παραμεληθεί με θέματα ψυχικής υγείας για το παρελθόν 2 ½ έτη, αφού σοκαρίστηκε τον κόσμο του μποξ τον Νοέμβριο 28, 2015, όταν νίκησε το μελλοντικό Hall of Famer Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs) μέσω ενός 10-στρογγυλή ομόφωνη απόφαση (116-111, 115-112, 115-112).
Η 6′ 9″ Ο Fury έγινε ο αδιαμφισβήτητος παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής βαρέων βαρών, εξασφάλιση του IBF, WBA, WBO, IBO και Το δαχτυλίδι πρωταθλήματα, μόνο για να απογυμνωθούν και / ή να παραιτηθούν από τις ζώνες τίτλου του χωρίς μία άμυνα.
(L-R) – Στην τελευταία πάλη του, Ο Tyson Fury αναστάτωσε τον Wladimir Klitschko
Οι καναδοί οπαδοί του μποξ είναι περισσότερο από εξοικειωμένοι με τον Fury, που κατείχε το στρατόπεδο εκτεταμένης προπόνησης στον Καναδά, στο Hotel Lac Leamy στο Gatineau, πριν από τον Απρίλιο του 20, 2013 μάχη στο φημισμένο Madison Square Garden στη Νέα Υόρκη, στο οποίο σταμάτησε πολλούς παγκόσμιους πρωταθλητές Steve Cunningham στον έβδομο γύρο.
“Δεν μπορώ να περιμένω να μπω εκεί και να αποδείξω ότι είμαι καλύτερος μαχητής από ποτέ,” είπε ο χαρισματικός Φιούρι. “Έρχομαι στην κορυφή της καριέρας μου τώρα και δεν ένιωσα ποτέ καλύτερα. Είμαι πιο κατάλληλος, ισχυρότερο και γρηγορότερο από το Fury του 2015.
“Θα είναι μια τεράστια βραδιά για την Πόλη του Μάντσεστερ (όπου γεννήθηκε η Fury). Είμαι πολύ χαρούμενος που αγωνίζομαι στο εμβληματικό Manchester Arena για πρώτη φορά στην καριέρα μου. Υπόσχομαι στους θαυμαστές μια ειδική παράσταση για να τους ευχαριστήσω για την πιστή υποστήριξή τους.”
Εκστρατεία, πολεμώντας από την Αλβανία, υπέστη μόνο μία απώλεια κατά την κατά τα άλλα τέλεια 11χρονη καριέρα του στην πυγμαχία, χάνοντας μια απόφαση 10 γύρων το 2016 στον μελλοντικό παγκόσμιο πρωταθλητή βαρέων βαρών WBA Μανουέλ Τσαρ (29-4) για την κενή κορώνα WBA International.
“Αυτό θα είναι ένας σκληρός αγώνας για τον Fury,” Ο Σεφέρι προέβλεπε. “Είμαι πολύ πειθαρχημένος και πάντα έτοιμος να δεχτώ όλους και όλους. Αυτό δεν θα είναι μια εύκολη νύχτα για αυτόν. Έρχομαι στο Μάντσεστερ για να νικήσω έναν από τους θρύλους του μποξ του 21st αιώνας.
“Είναι ψηλός και δυνατός, αλλά δεν θα είναι έτοιμος για την πίεση που θα ασκήσω. Δυόμισι χρόνια από το δαχτυλίδι είναι πολύ καιρό και κανείς δεν ξέρει αν εξακολουθεί να είναι ο ίδιος μαχητής που αποθάρρυνε τον Βλαντιμίρ Κλίτστκο. Θα εκμεταλλευτώ την ευκαιρία και με τα δύο χέρια.”

SHOWTIME SPORTS® TO LIVE STREAM THE LONG-AWAITED RETURN OF FORMER HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION TYSON FURY ON SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS

 

Fury To Face Sefer Seferi; Terry Flanagan To Face Maurice Hooker For Vacant 140-Pound World Title

Σάββατο, Ιούνιος 9 Live on SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel and SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook Page

 

ΝΕΑ ΥΟΡΚΗ (Ιούνιος 4, 2018) – SHOWTIME Sports has secured the U.S. rights to stream the long-awaited return of former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, ο οποίος θα αντιμετωπίσει Εκστρατεία in a 10-round heavyweight bout Saturday, Ιούνιος 9 from Manchester Arena. SHOWTIME ΠΥΓΜΑΧΙΑΣ ΔΙΕΘΝΗ® will stream live exclusively to U.S. audiences on the SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook page and SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel beginning at 4:30 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ/1:30 μ.μ. PT.

 

 

 

Στο άνοιγμα του αγώνα, τοπικός ήρωας Terry Flanagan (33-0, 13 KO του) θα κοιτάξει να γίνει παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής δύο κατηγοριών όταν συγκρούεται με τον αήττητο Αμερικανό Maurice Hooker (23-0-3, 16 KO του) for the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight crown. This will be the fourth live streaming boxing event this year on SHOWTIME Sports social media platforms.

 

 

 

Live coverage for the Frank Warren promoted event will be provided by BT Sport and BoxNation with U.K. αθλητές Τζον Ράουλινγκ παρέχοντας το χτύπημα με χτύπημα και Ρίτζι Γούντχαλ η ΑΝΑΛΥΣΗ. Τηλεοπτικός οργανισμός πυγμαχίας Ray Φλόρες και αναλυτής Κρις Μανιξ will deliver pre-fight and post-fight analysis from Staples Center in Los Angeles for the SHOWTIME Sports audience.

 

 

 

Η ζωντανή ροή του Fury vs. Ο Seferi θα προηγηθεί του SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING εκείνο το βράδυ® doubleheader that features WBA Featherweight World Champion Leo Santa Cruz in a rematch against fellow three-division world champion Abner Mares live on SHOWTIME (10 μ.μ. ET / PT, καθυστέρησε στη Δυτική Ακτή) από το Staples Center. Στο ομο-χαρακτηριστικό γνώρισμα, Ο Jermell Charlo θα αντιμετωπίσει το Austin Trout για το Παγκόσμιο Πρωτάθλημα WBC Super Welterweight.

 

 

 

Μανία (25-0, 18 KOs), πρώην WBA, WBO and IBF Heavyweight World Champion will end a two-years-and-seven-months exile from the sport on June 9. Fury has been inactive since outpointing Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf in November 2015 due to an injury, personal problems and a doping ban.

 

 

 

“I’m the fittest I’ve ever been,” said Fury, who has teamed up with new trainer Ben Davison. “Timing, reflexes, everything is better than it’s ever been. I kid you not. Είμαι 29 ετών, coming into the prime of my life, I’m stronger and faster, holding more muscle mass than ever. I’m more confident looking at the competition.”

 

 

 

Albania’s Seferi (23-1, 21 KOs) is a 39-year-old Switzerland-based cruiserweight who is stepping up in weight and opposition when he faces the 6-foot-9 Fury. Seferi’s sole loss came in 2016 in a heavyweight bout against now-secondary WBA heavyweight champ Manuel Charr.

 

 

 

“This is going to be a hard fight for Fury,” said Seferi. “Two-and-a-half years out of the ring is a long time and nobody knows if he is still the same fighter that dethroned Wladimir Klitschko.”

 

 

 

Φλάνγκαν, the first Englishman to earn a lightweight world title, will seek to capture a title in a second weight class just days away from his 29ου γενέθλια. Πόρνη, a southpaw from Dallas, Texas and ShoBox alum, has been training with Terence Crawford. Hooker will look to follow in the footsteps of fellow Dallas resident Errol Spence Jr., who went to Kell Brook’s hometown of Sheffield, England to capture his first world championship.

FRISCO, TEXAS (Ιούνιος 4, 2018) – Super bantamweight world champion Ντάνιελ Ρωμαίος will defend his belt against unbeaten Moises “Chucky” Λουλούδια Σάββατο, Ιούνιος 16 live on SHOWTIME from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

The event will also see former world champion Javier Fortuna clashing with Adrian Granados in a 10-round 140-pound special attraction that kicks off the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® τηλεοπτική εκπομπή στο 9 μ.μ. ET / 6 μ.μ.. PT.

 

 

 

Undefeated welterweight champion Errol “Η Αλήθεια” Spence, Jr. will defend his IBF world title in a Dallas-area homecoming at the Dallas Cowboys facility against unbeaten mandatory challenger Carlos Ocampo in the main event. It will be the first boxing event inside Ford Center and Spence’s first hometown fight as world champion.

 

 

 

Εισιτήρια για την εκδήλωση, which is promoted by TGB Promotions in association with Man Down Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at www.SeatGeek.com.

 

 

 

This is shaping up to be a fantastic card with the addition of the 122-pound championship fight between Daniel Roman and Moises Flores and former champion Javier Fortuna taking on Adrian Granados in a 140-pound special attraction,” είπε ο Τομ Μπράουν, Πρόεδρος της TGB Προσφορές. “None of these boxers have reverse in their gear box, which promises entertaining battles for the fans at The Star and those watching at home on SHOWTIME.

 

 

 

The 27-year-old Roman (24-2-1, 9 KOs) will be making his second title defense of the WBA 122-pound championship he won with a TKO victory over Shun Kubo last September in Japan. The 28-year-old, Λος Άντζελες, Καλιφόρνια., returned to Japan and made his first title defense with a unanimous decision victory over Ryo Matsumoto this February. Roman enters this bout having won 16-straight fights.

 

 

 

Everyone knows I want to fight the best and Flores is right up there,” είπε ο Ρωμαίος. “He’s unbeaten for a reason and he’s the number one challenger for my title. Δεν είμαι λαμβάνοντας τον ελαφρά. I’m motivated to be great. I’m more focused now than ever before. I’m not going to let Flores, or anyone else take my belt. The plan is simple. Pick him apart round by round just like I’ve done in my other world title fights.

 

 

 

Λουλούδια (25-0, 17 KOs), της Γκουανταλαχάρα, Jalisco, Μεξικό, returns to the ring after a no contest against Guillermo Rigondeaux in a fight that saw Flores hit and knocked out with a shot that was initially called legal, but was eventually ruled to have come after the bell, thus causing the no contest. The 31-year-old scored an impressive win with a decision victory over Oscar Escandon in 2015 that earned him an interim 122-pound title and followed that up with victories over previously once-beaten fighters Luis Emanuel Cusolito and Paulus Ambunda.

 

 

 

I’m going to make Daniel Roman fight me every round until the end,” said Flores. “He’s a good boxer and a counter puncher, but I’m a warrior so I’ll be ready for anything he brings. If he can’t hold up to my power, then he’s going down early. This is a must-win and I’m determined to become a world champion on June 16.

 

 

 

Τύχη (33-2-1, 23 KOs) won the super featherweight title with a unanimous decision against Bryan Vasquez in 2015 and enters this fight looking to bounce back from a split-decision loss to lightweight champion Robert Easter, Jr. τον Ιανουάριο στο SHOWTIME. The 28-year-old Fortuna, της Λα Ρομάνα, Δομινικανή Δημοκρατία, failed to make weight for the Easter fight and will now seek to challenge in the 140-pound division.

 

 

 

I know that Adrian Granados is a warrior, but this fight breaks in my favor because I am simply the better fighter,” είπε Fortuna. “I respect Granadosstyle and I know he surprises a lot of people with his resiliency in the ring. I’m fully prepared to out-box him on fight night. I’m not concerned about moving up in weight either because once we step into the ring, I’ll be the bigger guy.

 

 

 

The 28-year-old Granados (18-6-2, 12 KOs) has garnered a reputation as a boxer willing to accept all challenges and one who always pushed his opponents to the brink. Fighting out of Chicago, he looks to get back on the winning track with a victory over Fortuna. Last year Granados lost a unanimous decision to former welterweight champion Shawn Porter and a split-decision to four-division champion Adrien Broner. Before those two losses, Granados had put together a five-match win streak that included a TKO victory over Amir Imam.

 

 

 

Javier Fortuna is a crafty southpaw, but I’m going to be stronger and better than ever back at 140-pounds,” said Granados. “I feel like I can knock out anybody at this weight. After I beat Amir Imam, everyone has been ducking me at this weight class. I’m going to make a statement about where I belong in boxing and give the fans a great show like I always do.

Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Claressa Shields is deep in preparation for her attempt to become a two-division world champion when she faces fellow unified champion Hanna Gabriels at Masonic Temple in Detroit on Friday, Ιούνιος 22.

 

 

 

Ασπίδες, a unified champion at 168 λίρες, and Gabriels, a unified titlist at 154 λίρες, will meet for the vacant IBF and WBA Middleweight World Championships on SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION at 10 μ.μ. ET/PT live on SHOWTIME.

 

 

 

A native of Flint, Μιχ., Ασπίδες (5-0, 2 KOs) was the first American boxer in history – male or female – to win consecutive Olympic Gold Medals. The 23-year-old turned professional following the 2016 Olympics and became unified women’s super middleweight world champion in just her fourth professional fight. Shields now begins her first camp with renowned trainer John David Jackson as she attempts to become a two-division champion.

 

 

 

SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION will also feature extensive highlights of unified women’s middleweight champion Christina Hammer (22-0, 10 KOs) as she defends her WBC & WBO titles in her U.S. debut against former world champion Tori Nelson (17-1-3, 2 KOs). If both Shields and Hammer are victorious in their 160-pound bouts on June 22, they will meet in a fall blockbuster on SHOWTIME to determine the undisputed women’s middleweight world champion.

 

How has training camp been so far?

“Training camp has been great. It’s been fun and I’ve been working my butt off. I can’t wait to step in the ring with another champion and make history by winning the world title in my second weight division!"

What can fans expect from you on June 22?

“The fans can expect for me to fight like I’m Okoye from Wakanda! I’ve never been more motivated, more ready, and more able to take on the challenges and achieve my goals. Θέλω να παλέψω το καλύτερο, and I want to be the best ever. I will give everything onJune 22 against Hanna Gabriels to win a world title in my second weight division, then I want Christina Hammer, so we can unify all the middleweight belts, and then my sights will be on getting to the 154-pound world title.”

 

What are some of your future goals in boxing?

“I want to lift women’s boxing for all the women past, present and future. I want equality for women and men in boxing. I want to be recognized as one of the pound-for-pound best in the sport among both men and women, no gender labels. And I want to be known as the best female boxer ever. Είμαι έτοιμος. Come to Detroit on June 22 and see me live, watch me on SHOWTIME, and join the team as we make history!"

What have you learned training with John David Jackson?
“Coach John is very knowledgeable, he’s been working with me on my patience. He admires the beast inside of me, but just wants me to control it more and be smart. He’s been to the biggest battles with some great world champions, and I’m glad to have his experience and knowledge on my team.”

What is your typical day like in camp?
“A typical day in camp can go according to either of two plans. Plan 1 is I wake up at 9 am, make myself a small breakfast (2 boiled eggs, 2 pieces of turkey bacon and some steamed asparagus) or a fruit smoothie. Στο 11 am I’m at the gym training. By1:30 μμ, I’m at the gym. My workout usually consists of bag drills, mitt work, shadow boxing, jumping rope, speed bag and ring drills. Then I either swim or run at 6 pm the same day. On the days I do Plan 2, I still wake at 9 am and have my breakfast and then 11 am-1:30 μμ, I’m in the gym. But right after that, I do strength and conditioning, which consists of box jumps, dumb bell squats, some drills with weights for my upper body, or a four-mile run.”

Have you made any changes to your training and nutrition for your first fight at middleweight?
“Right after my fight with Tori Nelson, I knew I would be fighting next at middleweight, so I stayed in the gym three times a week until Mark (Taffet) told me we secured June 22 on SHOWTIME against Hanna Gabriels. But to properly make middleweight, I had to learn about my body some more. Losing weight is more about a routine than it is about eating less food. The good thing for me is that I like healthy food – my body and mind feel best when I eat that way. The only difference in camp is I eat smaller portions of the food I like and drink a lot more water. This camp I’ve been heavy on fish, all kinds of fish from cod, salmon, Atlantic salmonwith sides of asparagus, sweet potatoes, rice or spinach. And body clock is important, so no eating after 7 μμ. I’m feeling great and will be in the best shape of my life when I get in that ring on June 22.”

Who are your sparring partners?

“So far, I’ve sparred with Matt Korobov and Daniyar Yelluisar. I love to spar with men – I find that the strength and speed helps me get the most out of the sparring.”

What have you done differently in preparation for this fight?

“Well I always say this, but I don’t get ready to face my opponents – my trainer John David Jackson focuses more on the opponent than I do. I just get prepared to be the best version of me. I’ve seen film of Hannah and I’m not impressed – I know she’s a champion and I respect that, but I’ve never seen a woman who can stay in the ring with me. It’ll take two of her to even have a chance at beating me.”

James Ballard is a very good fighter. I have no problem fighting him and winning in his hometown, which is becoming my second home as well. Ας το πάρει επάνω!"

Σφυρί, of Dortmund, Γερμανία, has dominated the women’s middleweight division since 2010. The 27-year-old says training at elevation in the mountains of Austria is bringing the best out of her.

 

How has training camp gone so far?

 

 

 

“My camp has gone well. We train three times a day and work hard to be in the best shape possible on June 22 in Detroit.”

 

Can you tell us about your current training location?

 

 

 

“We are in Austria, staying at a place in the mountains that is about 5000-feet elevation. It’s amazing here. The nature and the mountains inspire me and give me power. It’s very comfortable to do my roadwork and go to the boxing gym because everything is situated in a comfortable way.”

 

What is a typical day like at training camp?

 

 

 

“We’ve been in Austria for the last 10 ημέρες. Στο 7:30 am, we start the first interval runs. Στο 9 am, I have breakfast and at 11 am, we go up to the mountains to our gym (which is at 6500 feet high) to do my strength and conditioning work. Αργότερα, in the afternoon, we start our boxing work. The nature and beautiful surroundings give me peace of mind.”

 

How and why is your training camp built into different stages?

 

 

 

“The mountains are perfect to prepare for the fight. You are away from your hometown stay more focused on training. The air is thin and this high level of elevation gives your body a higher level of conditioning. Τον Ιούνιο 10, we will move on to our next stage of training, which will take place in the United States. That will be to help acclimate me to the new time and climate for fight night on June 22, which is when I will put all of this hard work together and have it pay off in a big way.”

 

Who is your head trainer?

 

 

 

“My coach is Dimitrie Kirnos. I started my professional career with him. He himself was Soviet Union Boxing Champion and trained many top champions. He is old school and pushes my mind and body to the limit. He is a big part of my team we have a great bond. I have much respect and admiration for him.”

 

Have you done anything different preparing for this fight?

 

 

 

“I spar with lots of shorter fighters, like Tori Nelson. I guarantee that it will be much more explosive and impressive than Claressa Shields was against her.”

 

American fans love knockouts. Can they expect a Christina Hammer KO on June 22?

 

 

 

“That’s why I train hard and give everything in the gym. I want to be amazing that night and a knockout would be a perfect ending.”

 

 

What is your prediction for Ιούνιος 22?

 

 

 

“I will show my power and skills. People will see who the real unified Middleweight Champion of the world is. My performance will speak for itself!"

NATIONAL HARBOR, MD. (Μάιος 17, 2018) – WBC Featherweight Παγκόσμιος Πρωταθλητής Γκάρι Ράσελ Τζούνιορ. and unbeaten top contender Ιωσήφ “JoJo” Diaz Jr. went face-to-face Thursday at the final press conference two days before they enter the ring May 19 ζουν σε SHOWTIME (10:05 μ.μ. ET / PT) in the main event from MGM National Harbor in Maryland.

 

 

 

The battle between the 2008 Η.Π.Α.. Olympian Russell Jr. και ο 2012 Η.Π.Α.. Olympian Diaz Jr. is part of a split-site SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast that will feature WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion Άδωνις Στίβενσον defending his title against two-division world champion Badou Τζακ in a main event from Toronto.

 

 

 

Εισιτήρια για την εκδήλωση, which is promoted by TGB Promotions in association with Golden Boy Promotions, πωλούνται τώρα και είναι διαθέσιμα με επίσκεψηhttp://mgmnationalharbor.com/.

 

 

 

Both fighters were joined on stage by their fathers who also train them, with Gary Russell Sr. and Joseph Diaz Sr. sitting by their sons ahead of Saturday’s matchup. Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from MGM National Harbor:

 

Γκάρι Ράσελ JR.

 

 

 

“Είμαστε 120 percent ready for fight night. We’re hungry. As long as I have this strap, nobody is walking in here and taking it. I know Diaz is going to bring his best to the table, but we’re ready. The strap is staying at home.

 

 

 

Me and my little brothers Gary Antuanne and Gary Antonio are on the undercard and they’re going to show the work they’ve been doing. Our dad’s birthday is the day after the fight so you know we have to make it special for him.

 

 

 

It’s cool that both me and ‘JoJoare trained by our fathers. Because at the end of the day, when you look at your coach, that’s your last line of defense. When everything else goes wrong, you have to go the corner. You have to have a level of trust and belief in your corner, so who better to have than a parent there?

 

 

 

It’s difficult for me to know if ‘JoJois my toughest opponent since Vasyl Lomachenko because I never train with a lot of worry about my opponents. I think that the biggest thing is preparing myself to the best of my ability and being the best that I can possibly be.

 

 

 

I believe in my ability to make the necessary adjustments, no matter what my opponent brings to the ring. If he wants to come in and box, we are equally as comfortable boxing long ranged as we are making the fight rugged. In order to be great at anything, you have to have a level of versatility. That’s something I bring to the table that a lot of fighters don’t bring.

 

 

 

Diaz worked his way up the ranks to get this fight. He did everything you have to do to get in position to fight for a world title. He’s already mentioned that I’m the best fighter in the division and he knows that all the other champions in the division are afraid to step up and compete against me.

 

 

 

Any fighter who has two months or more to prepare for one opponent is definitely dangerous. We never overlook anyone. I believe in my hand speed, my punching power, my ring generalship and in my ability to make adjustments.

 

 

 

If we can get through this bout, I would love to get in the ring and unify with any of the other featherweight champions. The timing is perfect right now for any of these unification fights. If they still don’t want it, I’m willing to move up in weight to meet any of the guys who have a name. It’s time to make it happen.

 

 

 

I take my hat off to him and to his team for having the guts to step into the ring. There are only certain people who can be made for this sport and it speaks volumes about him as an individual. I don’t expect anything less than a worthy opponent.

 

 

 

It’s a pleasure being here for this fight right near my hometown. We had a very long training camp and everything is feeling good heading into the fight.

 

JOSEPH DIAZ JR.

 

 

 

It’s right here and around the corner. I’m very excited for the moment to be here. I’ve been waiting for this my whole entire life and I’m not going to take anything for granted. I trained extremely hard for this fight.

 

 

 

I absolutely think Gary is overlooking me. I think he underestimated me. I’ve trained for this my whole entire life. This opportunity has been presented to me by my hard work and it’s really the opportunity of a lifetime. I can’t wait to show everybody my skills and what I’m truly about.

 

 

 

“Είναι όλα σχετικά με το χρονοδιάγραμμα. Gary has the fastest hands in boxing but we’ve watched a lot of tape and we see a lot of flaws. Every fighter has flaws. We’re just going to capitalize on what we see and take full advantage on Saturday night.

 

 

 

I don’t think Gary having not fought since last year will be any kind of advantage. Θέλω Γκάρι Ράσελ Τζούνιορ. to be at his best come fight night. I know that I’m at my best and the best man should win on fight night. There shouldn’t be any excuses after this fight and after I win the title.

 

 

 

I believe after I win this title on Saturday night that I’ll be on top of the throne in the featherweight division. Hopefully I can get some big fights soon after that.

 

 

 

I’m prepared for everything he’s going to offer. He’s going to come out and box a little bit and look to use his jab, create angles and use his speed to keep me out of range. It’s going to come to the point where he’s not going to want to move as much and he’ll starting fighting on the inside. That’s where I want to be. We’re going to deliver some great blows and may the best man win.

 

 

 

I know what Gary Russell Jr. brings to the table. I know he’s the toughest fighter in the division but I’m ready to go out there and bring back the WBC title. I’m ready to fight the best and unify all the titles.

 

 

 

It’s going to be fireworks on Saturday night. I’ve had a perfect training camp and I’m on weight. Everything feels great and I can’t wait to step into the ring.

 

 

 

I’m ready for anything. If it stops early or goes the distance, I’m going to keep pushing each round more than the last.

 

 

 

It would mean everything to win this world title. Not just for myself, but for my whole family. All the hard work and struggles that we’ve been through, it’s finally here. I’m going to do everything I can to come out victorious. Our lives are going to change and I’m going to inspire the youth and the people around me. I want people to know that if you put your mind to it, anything is possible.

 

Γκάρι Ράσελ SR., Russell’s Father & Προπονητής

 

 

 

The reason for the inactivity is just politics. We always have the intention on fighting but we want to find the best opponent for Gary. ‘JoJois the mandatory so we’re going to fight him and after we get this win, we’re looking at Leo Santa Cruz, Abner Mares, Ο Carl Frampton. We want to unify.

 

 

 

Before Gary retires from the sport, he’ll move up and do whatever it takes to get a rematch with Lomachenko.

 

 

 

We like to say that this is just Gary’s occupation. He gets paid to fight and he’s able to support his family because of that. All of the accolades don’t really mean anything to him or to us. The WBC belt is definitely the most prestigious, but like Gary said, we’re not really into the little trinkets. He would take it to the pawn shop if he could. We’re not really into those type of accolades. We just want to conduct ourselves as gentlemen, set an example and get paid.

 

JOSEPH DIAZ SR., Diaz’s Father & Προπονητής

 

 

 

It’s a blessing to be in this position. I really believe that god didn’t bring us this far only to bring us this far. I really think the journey is going to continue. I’m very proud of my son. He has worked really hard and has shown a lot of will and determination. It means the world to me that he’s pursuing his career and is doing something that he loves doing.

 

 

 

 

It’s exciting to finally have a fight on the east coast. It’s beautiful out here. Joseph has been wanting to fight out here and now he has that opportunity to meet some of the fans he has out here that he hasn’t had the chance to meet.

 

 

 

“Ράσελ Τζούνιορ. is a fast fighter. He’s skilled and he’s smart in there. We’ve been working on Joseph’s timing. Joseph’s a little deceiving because he kind of moves a little slow but he’s actually much faster than people think he is. The speed of Russell doesn’t affect us at all. Joseph has sparred and fought fast fighters especially in the amateurs.

 

 

 

The plan is to go in there and beat Gary Russell up. And we’re hoping this win sets up bigger and better fights with the Santa Cruz and the Selby’s of the world. All of the champions. We’re hoping to get some of those opportunities because it will bring a lot of attention to the boxing world. Joseph will be a very good ambassador for the sport of boxing.

 

STEPHEN Εσπινόζα, President Sports & Events Programming, Showtime Network Inc.

 

 

 

We’re thrilled to be here at MGM National Harbor. MGM is an incredible brand that means a lot in boxing. It is a brand that is known throughout the sport at the highest level and we appreciate the entire MGM organization and their support for the sport.

 

 

 

“Γκάρι Ράσελ Τζούνιορ. vs. ‘JoJoDiaz which is an outstanding matchup. Gary is without questions one of the most skilled-if not the most skilled fighter in any division. He’s known for having the fastest hands in the sport. ‘JoJoDiaz is a young rising star who I’ve known personally since he turned pro. These are two action fighters. They’re fan-friendly fighters who will deliver an action packed night.

 

 

 

It’s been an interesting couple of weeks in boxing. A lot of announcements, new ventures and big promises. But here at SHOWTIME we just keep doing what we’ve been doing, and what we’ve been doing is delivering the best fighters, the biggest fights, week after week and month after month.

PETE BRASCIA, Senior VP of Marketing & Operations, MGM National Harbor

 

 

 

We’re very excited to welcome these fighters and everyone involved in this event, back to MGM National Harbor. One year ago I was on a similar stage as we prepared for Gary Russell Jr. to defend his world title, and he did not disappoint his fans.

 

 

 

The fans here in Prince George’s County and the whole region love a good show and a good fight. They love it even more when they can root on their hometown hero. το βράδυ του Σαββάτου, δεν θα είναι διαφορετικές.

 

 

 

This will be an incredible show between Gary Russell Jr. and the undefeated Olympian ‘JoJo’ Diaz. I’m hoping for good weather Saturday night, but I’m certain we’re going to get a good show.
