MANCHESTER, Reino Unido (Junio 6, 2018) – Former Unified Heavyweight World Champion Tyson Fury took one more step toward ending his 31-month exile from the sport as he met face-to-face with Sefer Seferi at the final press conference Wednesday at the Midland Hotel in Manchester.

 

SHOWTIME Sports will live stream the long-awaited return of Fury (25-0, 18 KOs), a former WBA, WBO and IBF Heavyweight World Champion, este Sábado, Junio 9 from Manchester Arena when he faces Sefer Seferi in a 10-round heavyweight bout from Manchester Arena.

Here’s what Fury had to say on Wednesday:

 

“If he has knocked out 21 men before, if he gets it on my chin he will knock me out too.

 

“I look at Sefer like I look at Wladimir Klitschko, Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua, anybody. He’s a dangerous puncher.

 

“I could have picked someone a lot easier than Sefer; someone to knock out in a round. But I need rounds.”

 

On his Heavyweight rivals: “They know the message – I’m back. I don’t ever remember feeling any better than I do now.

 

“I feel sharper now, más poder. I fell out of love with the game but now the love is thriving, we are back on fire for one another.

 

“You’re going to be the best Tyson Fury you have ever seen.”

 

“There are no nerves at all. I feel like I have been a goldfish in a tank, trapped and now I am getting released back into the river where I belong. So just put me there and watch me swim.”

 

“I don’t ever remember feeling any better than I do now. I feel shaper now, faster than I’ve ever been, más poder, I just want it more.

 

“It was a lost relationship, it was like I was married to the game too long and we sort of fell out of love with each other.”

 

In the opening bout of the live stream, héroe local Terry Flanagan (33-0, 13 Nocáuts) will look to become a two-division world champion when he clashes with unbeaten American Maurice Hooker (23-0-3, 16 Nocáuts) for the vacant WBO Super Lightweight crown.

‘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

De Masonic Temple en Detroit, Mich.; Entradas a la venta ahora

Another exciting battle between well-regarded prospects has been added to the un-televised undercard of Salita Promotions’ “Shields vs. Gabriels” event on Friday, Junio 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, Kazajstán, encima 10 exciting super-lightweight rounds.

 

 

 

A six-year pro, Nicholas Givhan has had mixed results, hasta ahora, 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.

 

 

 

“Los entrenamientos van muy bien. 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, Kazajstán. A charismatic showman, Eyubov is a fast-rising prospect who has appeared twice on ShoBox: La Nueva Generación. 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, Nueva 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: EDICIÓN ESPECIAL (10 p.m. 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.

 

Las entradas para el evento, el cual es promovido por Salita, están disponibles en Ticketmaster.com o en la Oficina de Masonic Temple Box en (313) 832-7100. entradas VIP tienen un precio de $300, boletos de primera fila en $125, y restantes entradas en $75, $50 y $35.

EDMONTON, Canadá (Junio 5, 2018) – Canadian boxing fans will have the opportunity to watch the long-awaited return of the“Rey gitano,” undefeated former unified heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury este sábado contra Sefer “El trato real” expedición en el evento principal a 10 asaltos, airing in Canada exclusively on Super Channel, live from Manchester Arena in Manchester, Reino Unido.
Está de vuelta: furia vs. expedición, presentado por Queensbury Promotions de Frank Warren, se transmitirá exclusivamente en Super Channel en todo Canadá, a partir de 2:00 p.m. Y / 11:00 a.m. PT.
“We couldn’t be more excited to be bringing this highly anticipated bout marking the return of Tyson Fury to the boxing world, to our viewers,” said Don McDonald, Presidente y CEO, super Channel. “This is exactly the type of exclusive content that Canadian boxing fans have come to expect from Super Channel Sports and is a welcome addition to our growing catalogue of marquee boxing events.”
Perhaps boxing’s most polarizing figure, Furia (25-0, 15 KOs) has been sidelined with mental health issues for the past 2 ½ años, after shocking the boxing world November 28, 2015, when he defeated future Hall of Famer Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs) por medio de una decisión unánime de 10 asaltos (116-111, 115-112, 115-112).
El 6′ 9″ Fury became the undisputed world heavyweight champion, securing the IBF, AMB, OMB, IBO and El Anillo campeonatos, only to be stripped and/or relinquish his title belts without a single defense.
(L-R) – En su última pelea, Tyson Fury upset Wladimir Klitschko
Canadian boxing fans are more than familiar with Fury, who held his extended training camp in Canada, at Hotel Lac Leamy in Gatineau, prior to his April 20, 2013 fight at famed Madison Square Garden in New York City, in which he stopped multiple world champion Steve Cunningham en la séptima ronda.
“I can’t wait to get in there and prove that I’m a better fighter than I’ve ever been,” the charismatic Fury said. “I’m coming into the prime of my career now and I’ve never felt better. I’m fitter, stronger and faster than the Fury of 2015.
“It’s going to be a huge night for the City of Manchester (where Fury was born). I’m delighted to be fighting at the iconic Manchester Arena for the first time in my career. I’m promising the fans a special performance to thank them for their loyal support.”
expedición, fighting out of Albania, has suffered only one loss during his otherwise perfect 11-year pro boxing career, losing a 10-round decision in 2016 to future WBA heavyweight world champion Manuel Charr (29-4) for the vacant WBA International crown.
“This is going to be a hard fight for Fury,” Seferi predicted. “I’m very disciplined and always ready to take on everyone and anyone. This will not be an easy night for him. I’m coming to Manchester to beat one of the boxing legends of the 21st century.
“He is tall and strong, but he won’t be ready for the pressure that I will bring. Two-and-one-half years out of the ring is a long time and nobody knows if he is still the same fighter that dethroned Wladimir Klitschko. I am going to seize the opportunity with both hands.”
The 12-round co-feature features local hero, undefeated Brit Terry “Turbo” Flanagan (33-0, 13 KOs), in his bid to become a two-division world champion, versus unbeaten American Maurice “Mighty Mo” Puta (23-0-3, 16 KOs) for the vacant WBO super-lightweight world title.

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

Sábado, Junio 9 Live on SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel and SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook Page

 

NUEVA YORK (Junio 4, 2018) – SHOWTIME Sports has secured the U.S. rights to stream the long-awaited return of former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, que se enfrentará a Sefer Seferi in a 10-round heavyweight bout Saturday, Junio 9 desde el Manchester Arena. SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNACIONAL® will stream live exclusively to U.S. audiences on the SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook page and SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel beginning at 4:30 p.m. Y/1:30 p.m. PT.

 

 

 

En la pelea de apertura, héroe local Terry Flanagan (33-0, 13 Nocáuts) will look to become a two-division world champion when he clashes with unbeaten American Maurice Hooker (23-0-3, 16 Nocáuts) 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. sportscasters John Rawling providing the blow-by-blow and Richie Woodhall the analysis. Boxing broadcaster Ray Flores y analista Chris Mannix will deliver pre-fight and post-fight analysis from Staples Center in Los Angeles for the SHOWTIME Sports audience.

 

 

 

The live stream of Fury vs. Seferi will precede that evening’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® 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 p.m. ET / PT, delayed in the West Coast) from Staples Center. En la pelea co-estelar, Jermell Charlo will face Austin Trout for the WBC Super Welterweight World Championship.

 

 

 

Furia (25-0, 18 KOs), a former 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 debido a una lesión, personal problems and a doping ban.

 

 

 

“I’m the fittest I’ve ever been,"Dijo Fury, who has teamed up with new trainer Ben Davison. “Timing, reflexes, everything is better than it’s ever been. I kid you not. Estoy 29 años, 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.”

 

 

 

Flanagan, 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 29º cumpleaños. Puta, 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 (Junio 4, 2018) – Super bantamweight world champion Daniel romano will defend his belt against unbeaten Moises “Chucky” Flores Sábado, Junio 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® transmisión por televisión en 9 p.m. ET / 6 pm. PT.

 

 

 

Undefeated welterweight champion Errol “La Verdad” 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.

 

 

 

Las entradas para el evento, which is promoted by TGB Promotions in association with Man Down Promotions, están a la venta y se pueden adquirir en 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,” dijo Tom Brown, Presidente de Promociones TGB. “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. El jugador de 28 años de edad, of Los Angeles, Calif., 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,” dijo Roman. “He’s unbeaten for a reason and he’s the number one challenger for my title. No estoy tomando a la ligera. 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.”

 

 

 

Flores (25-0, 17 KOs), de Guadalajara, Jalisco, México, 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,” dijo 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.”

 

 

 

Suerte (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. en enero en SHOWTIME. The 28-year-old Fortuna, de La Romana, República Dominicana, 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,” dijo Fortuna. “I respect Granados’ style 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, Junio 22.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

A native of Flint, Mich., Escudos (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 boxeo: SPECIAL EDITION will also feature extensive highlights of unified women’s middleweight champion Christina Hammer (22-0, 10 KOs) as she defends her WBC & OMB en su 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?

“El campo de entrenamiento ha sido grande. 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. Quiero pelear con los mejores, 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. Estoy listo. 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 soy, make myself a small breakfast (2 boiled eggs, 2 pieces of turkey bacon and some steamed asparagus) or a fruit smoothie. En 11 am I’m at the gym training. By1:30 pm, 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 pm, 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 salmon — with sides of asparagus, sweet potatoes, rice or spinach. And body clock is important, so no eating after 7 pm. 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?

"Hasta aquí, 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.”

La batalla entre los 2008 U.S. El olímpico Russell Jr. y la 2012 U.S. Olímpico Díaz Jr. es parte de una transmisión televisiva de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING en un sitio dividido que contará con el campeón mundial de peso semipesado del CMB Adonis Stevenson defendiendo su título contra el campeón mundial de dos divisiones Badou Jack en un evento principal de Toronto.

 

 

 

Las entradas para el evento, que es promovido por TGB Promotions en asociación con Golden Boy Promotions, están a la venta y están disponibles visitandohttp://mgmnationalharbor.com/.

 

 

 

Ambos luchadores fueron acompañados en el escenario por sus padres quienes también los entrenaron., con Gary Russell Sr. y Joseph Diaz Sr. sentado junto a sus hijos antes del enfrentamiento del sábado. Esto es lo que los participantes de la conferencia de prensa dijeron el jueves desde MGM National Harbor:

 

GARY RUSSELL JR.

 

 

 

“Somos 120 porcentaje listo para la noche de la pelea. Tenemos hambre. Mientras tenga esta correa, nadie entra aquí y se lo lleva. Sé que Díaz va a aportar lo mejor de sí mismo a la mesa, pero estamos listos. La correa se queda en casa.

 

 

 

“Mis hermanos pequeños Gary Antuanne y Gary Antonio y yo estamos en la cartelera y van a mostrar el trabajo que han estado haciendo.. El cumpleaños de nuestro papá es el día después de la pelea, así que sabes que tenemos que hacerlo especial para él..

 

 

 

“Es genial que tanto yo como 'JoJo’ are 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 ‘JoJo’ is 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, Estamos igualmente cómodos en el boxeo de largo alcance, ya que estamos haciendo que la pelea sea dura.. Para ser genial en cualquier cosa, tienes que tener un nivel de versatilidad. Eso es algo que traigo a la mesa que muchos luchadores no traen.

 

 

 

“Díaz se abrió camino en las filas para conseguir esta pelea. Hizo todo lo que tienes que hacer para ponerte en posición de luchar por un título mundial. Ya mencionó que soy el mejor peleador de la división y sabe que todos los demás campeones de la división tienen miedo de dar un paso al frente y competir contra mí..

 

 

 

“Cualquier luchador que tenga dos meses o más para prepararse para un oponente es definitivamente peligroso.. Nunca pasamos por alto a nadie. Creo en la velocidad de mi mano, mi poder de golpe, mi general de anillo y en mi capacidad para hacer ajustes.

 

 

 

“Si podemos superar esta pelea, Me encantaría subir al ring y unificarme con cualquiera de los otros campeones de peso pluma.. El momento es perfecto en este momento para cualquiera de estas luchas de unificación.. Si todavía no lo quieren, Estoy dispuesto a subir de peso para conocer a cualquiera de los chicos que tienen un nombre. Es hora de que suceda.

 

 

 

“Me quito el sombrero ante él y su equipo por tener las agallas de subir al ring. Solo hay ciertas personas que pueden estar hechas para este deporte y dice mucho sobre él como individuo.. No espero nada menos que un oponente digno.

 

 

 

“Es un placer estar aquí para esta pelea cerca de mi ciudad natal.. Tuvimos un campo de entrenamiento muy largo y todo se siente bien de cara a la pelea.”

 

JOSEPH DIAZ JR.

 

 

 

“Está aquí y a la vuelta de la esquina. Estoy muy emocionado por el momento de estar aquí. He estado esperando esto toda mi vida y no voy a dar nada por sentado.. Entrené extremadamente duro para esta pelea.

 

 

 

“Creo absolutamente que Gary me está ignorando. Creo que me subestimó. Me he entrenado para esto toda mi vida. Esta oportunidad me ha sido presentada por mi arduo trabajo y es realmente la oportunidad de mi vida.. No puedo esperar para mostrarles a todos mis habilidades y lo que realmente soy.

 

 

 

“Todo es cuestión de tiempo. Gary tiene las manos más rápidas en el boxeo, pero hemos visto muchas cintas y vemos muchas fallas.. Todo luchador tiene defectos. Solo vamos a capitalizar lo que vemos y aprovechar al máximo el sábado por la noche.

 

 

 

“No creo que Gary no haya peleado desde el año pasado será una ventaja.. Quiero Gary Russell Jr.. para estar en su mejor momento ven a la noche de la pelea. Sé que estoy en mi mejor momento y el mejor hombre debería ganar la noche de la pelea. No debería haber excusas después de esta pelea y después de que gane el título..

 

 

 

“Creo que después de ganar este título el sábado por la noche estaré en la cima del trono en la división de peso pluma.. Ojalá pueda tener grandes peleas poco después de eso..

 

 

 

“Estoy preparado para todo lo que me va a ofrecer.. Él va a salir y boxear un poco y buscar usar su 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. Si se detiene temprano o se aleja, Voy a seguir presionando cada ronda más que la última.

 

 

 

“Significaría todo para ganar este título mundial. No solo para mi, pero para toda mi familia. Todo el trabajo duro y las luchas por las que hemos pasado, finalmente está aquí. Voy a hacer todo lo que pueda para salir victorioso. Nuestras vidas van a cambiar y voy a inspirar a los jóvenes y a las personas que me rodean.. Quiero que la gente sepa que si te lo propones, todo es posible.”

 

GARY RUSSELL SR., Padre de Russell & Entrenador

 

 

 

“La razón de la inactividad es solo política.. Siempre tenemos la intención de pelear pero queremos encontrar el mejor oponente para Gary.. "JoJo’ es obligatorio, así que vamos a pelear con él y después de obtener esta victoria, we’re looking at Leo Santa Cruz, Abner Mares, 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 & Entrenador

 

 

 

“It’s a blessing to be in this position. Realmente creo que Dios no nos trajo tan lejos solo para traernos tan lejos. Realmente creo que el viaje va a continuar. Estoy muy orgulloso de mi hijo. Ha trabajado muy duro y ha demostrado mucha voluntad y determinación.. Significa todo el mundo para mí que él está siguiendo su carrera y está haciendo algo que le encanta hacer.

 

 

 

 

“Es emocionante tener finalmente una pelea en la costa este. Es hermoso aquí afuera. Joseph ha querido pelear aquí y ahora tiene la oportunidad de conocer a algunos de los fanáticos que tiene aquí y que no ha tenido la oportunidad de conocer..

 

 

 

“Russell Jr. es un luchador rápido. Él es hábil e inteligente allí. Hemos estado trabajando en la sincronización de Joseph. Joseph es un poco engañoso porque se mueve un poco lento, pero en realidad es mucho más rápido de lo que la gente cree.. La velocidad de Russell no nos afecta en absoluto. Joseph ha practicado y peleado con luchadores rápidos, especialmente en los aficionados..

 

 

 

“El plan es entrar y golpear a Gary Russell. Y esperamos que esta victoria establezca peleas más grandes y mejores con Santa Cruz y Selby's del mundo.. Todos los campeones. Esperamos tener algunas de esas oportunidades porque atraerá mucha atención al mundo del boxeo.. Joseph será un muy buen embajador del deporte del boxeo.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Presidente Deportes & Programación de eventos, Showtime Network Inc.

 

 

 

“Estamos encantados de estar aquí en MGM National Harbor. MGM es una marca increíble que significa mucho en el boxeo. Es una marca que es conocida en todo el deporte al más alto nivel y agradecemos a toda la organización MGM y su apoyo al deporte..

 

 

 

“Gary Russell Jr.. vs. "JoJo’ Díaz, que es un enfrentamiento excepcional. Gary es sin duda uno de los peleadores más hábiles, si no el más hábil, en cualquier división.. Es conocido por tener las manos más rápidas del deporte.. "JoJo’ Díaz es una joven estrella en ascenso a quien conozco personalmente desde que se convirtió en profesional.. Estos son dos luchadores de acción. Son luchadores amigables con los fanáticos que ofrecerán una noche llena de acción..

 

 

 

“Han sido un par de semanas interesantes en el boxeo. Muchos anuncios, nuevos emprendimientos y grandes promesas. Pero aquí en SHOWTIME seguimos haciendo lo que hemos estado haciendo, y lo que hemos estado haciendo es ofrecer los mejores luchadores, las peleas más grandes, semana tras semana y mes tras mes.
