Warrington (26-0, 6 كوس), who will be fighting in his hometown of Leeds, won the British Featherweight Title in just his twelfth outing in 2012 and the Commonwealth Championship in 2013.

Diaz from the MGM National Harbor in Maryland and WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion أدونيس ستيفنسون defending his title against two-division world champion بادو جاك from Air Canada Centre in Toronto.

 

 

 

Below is what Selby, Warrington and their respective trainers had to say at today’s press conference:

لي سيلبي

“I’m the world champion and a world champion should be ready and willing to defend his title anywhere in the world. It’s only five hours up the road from where I live so it’s not so much of a lion’s den to me.

 

 

 

“This is just another defense for me. It’s another fight. I treat every opponent the same. I don’t train for a certain style or a certain opponent. I prepare to get myself right and whatever happens that night, I know I’ve done the best I can to make myself ready.

 

 

 

“Some experts say that his style is going to give me a problem but other experts say his style is tailormade for me. That’s the great thing about boxing. It’s an opinionated sport.

 

 

 

“I’m no Muhammad Ali, I can’t predict the round I’m going to win in, but I just see myself winning. لو لم أكن, then I shouldn’t be here. If you’re a professional boxer and you don’t have the determination to become a world champion, then you shouldn’t be in the game.

 

 

 

“Having Carl Frampton in attendance won’t be a distraction at all. But if I come out on top on Saturday, he is who I want next. I would want to go straight into that fight in Belfast.

 

 

 

“I’m not going to instigate an argument like he’s been doing. I’m a humble guy. He was running his mouth in the first press conference. Maybe the guys in Leeds want you to win, but the rest of the country is hoping that I win. People dislike you.”

جوش ارينغتون

“I’m very relaxed. We had a bit of fun at the last press conference and the interviews. I feel like I don’t need to say anything else. The past few months, I’ve put my body through hell. I give absolutely everything I have every time I go into the gym. أعطي 100 في المئة. After all the talk about me and Lee potentially fighting, it came down to this camp and I gave it everything.

 

 

 

“I talk a lot about destiny. منذ عدة سنوات, we had the chance to fight for a world title and it didn’t come off for me, and now I have an opportunity again. With how things have gone, anything could have happened in those couple of years. Lee could have moved weight or gotten beat but it’s come around how I always dreamed it and planned it. I always wanted to fight for a world title at Elland Road and it’s here.

 

 

 

“I’ve dreamt about this so many times, أنا مجرد استعداد للذهاب. There’s no more need for talking. ليلة السبت, I get to punch him in the face. This is beyond dreams, especially since I’ve been written off. I’m just carried on going and the fans have stuck behind me. They’re very loyal and we do this together. After Saturday night I’ll be known as Leeds’ first world champion.

 

 

 

“I’m able to adapt to any style. I’m known as a come-forward pressure fighter but I’ve always been able to adapt and do what I have to do to win. I’m willing to go so far. I just want this so bad. For everything I’ve been through, it all leads up to this fight. I’m going to give every ounce of energy in my body to win that world title.

 

 

 

“Carry on with your pictures and everything else with that belt this week, because it’s staying here pal. Once it comes here, that world title is staying.”

 

Tony Borg, Lee Selby’s Trainer

“Training has been first class. He’s put everything into it, he doesn’t mess around outside of the gym. His life is all boxing. Training has gone perfectly as it always does. I think a lot is being put on how he’s going to deal with this hostile crowd – he’s going to thrive on it, صدقني.

 

 

 

“I’m not just confident, أنا 101 percent certain that Lee Selby will go out there and thrive on the hostilities. Josh is very good fighter, but Lee’s an elite fighter. He’s a level above Josh, I believe.”

Sean O’Hagan, Josh Warrington’s Trainer

“Every trainer will tell you that they’ve had the best camp ever. What I will say is that you prepare for the fight in front of you. We’re preparing for Lee specifically. This camp has been so relaxed, it’s flowed so well. There’s been no flaws. We’re all very relaxed.

 

 

 

“We’ve done a little bit extra sparring because Lee has a style that requires it. Let’s not forget, he’s a very good fighter. Our preparation has been so good. We’ve had really good sparring and have covered every aspect of training. We’ve done more. We’ve thought about it more. We’ve gone deeper into things. I can count on one hand the amount of times he’s been hit clean in all of the rounds we’ve done of sparring.”

Salita Congratulates Newest Signee Arnold Khegai for Impressive Victory over Adam Lopez

Salita Promotions’ ever-growing stable of top contenders and rising stars grew again recently with the signing of his latest “Beast from the East,” last Friday night, as Ukrainian-born ethnic Korean super bantamweight slugger Arnold Khegai announced his presence on the world stage with an impressive unanimous decision over capable Texan Adam Lopez.

 

 

 

Fighting in the opening bout of a four-fight telecast of ShoBox: The New Generation on SHOWTIME from 2300 الساحة في فيلادلفيا, Khegai (12-0-1, 8 كوس) dominated the capable and experienced Lopez over eight mostly one-sided rounds (عشرات 77-74, 77-74 و 78-73).

 

 

 

It was the US fighting debut for the 26-year-old Khegai… one that his promoter, ديمتري Salita, could not be happier about.

 

 

 

“I congratulate Arnold on a sensational performance. He did a great job in his US Showtime debut,"سعيد كلمة. “Dominating a skilled and experienced Adam Lopez, who beat and fought some of the best in the division. Arnold’s skills and power make him one of the best fighters in the division.”

 

 

 

Khegai showed world-class strength, speed and power against Lopez, who was previously considered a top-5 contender in the world.

 

 

 

“I am happy that I got the victory and finally made my US debut,” said Khegai. “I thank Salita Promotions and Showtime for the opportunity. US fans saw a glimpse of my potential and I got a lot more to show. I look forward to fighting the best in the world and becoming a world champion in the near future.”

 

 

 

Salita says he’ll have his newest “one to watch” back in action quickly.

 

 

 

“Arnold is a ‘made for TV’ fighter and I’m looking forward to moving him quickly. He was able to dominate a world-class opponent with relative ease and that’s just the beginning for him. He’s going to be a real force in the super bantamweight division and we will have him back for the fans’ enjoyment very soon.”

(مايو 11, 2018) – Featherweight world champion جاري راسل الابن. and undefeated mandatory challenger جوزيف “جوجو” دياز جونيور. met members of the media on opposite coasts on Thursday, just one week out of their WBC world title showdown on Saturday, مايو 19, from MGM National Harbor in Maryland.

 

 

 

Russell will defend his WBC title against Diaz in a split-site SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast (10:05 عصرا. ET / PT) and will feature WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion أدونيس ستيفنسون defending his title against two-division world champion بادو جاك in a 12-round main event presented by Premier Boxing Champions from Toronto.

 

 

 

Russell was joined by his younger brothers, غاري أنتوان راسل و غاري أنطونيو راسيل at The Enigma Boxing Gym in Capitol Heights, ماريلاند., while Diaz took part in a workout at Azteca Gym in the City of Bell, just east of downtown Los Angeles.

Here’s what the fighters had to say on Thursday:

 

جاري راسل JR.

 

 

 

Sometimes you tend to magnify an event because of the fact that it’s in your hometown and it’s on a major card. It tends to take away from the true goal and the true purpose. I just need to focus on what the objective is. We never magnify the events. I think it’s cool that the neighbors and the mail lady and the people who honk their horns as they see me jogging down the street have the ability to get in their car and drive 15 minutes down the road to be a part of everything that’s going on and get to see a product of their environment.

 

 

 

I draw my energy from my family, أصدقائي, the true fans of Gary Russell Jr. That’s what I ultimately do it for. Regardless of what our profession is, we try to have a sense of financial stability for our families and that’s my objective as well. That’s what keeps me motivated.

 

 

 

Diaz already made the statement that I am the best fighter in the featherweight division. He already made the statement that none of the other world champions are willing to step into the ring to compete against me. The managers and the promoters aren’t willing to put their fighters in the ring against me.

 

 

 

I welcome the fact that Diaz wants the fight. As a world champion, I wouldn’t want or expect anything less. I want a competitor that’s ready to fight and that’s going to bring their best. I believe that he’s going to be the best that he can possibly be. My objective is to prepare myself to the best of my ability. I never really focus too much on my opponents. If Gary Russell Jr. is the best that he can be on fight night, then we’re good.

 

 

 

I know that Diaz is young, انه جائع. He’s the number one contender. He has eight weeks to prepare for nobody else but me. That’s always a recipe for somebody who’s really going to be ready and hungry. I think he knows that he’s getting in the ring with one of the best fighters in the world so he’s going to be ready.

 

 

 

“أنا أحب ما أقوم به. Even when I’m done with the sport of boxing, I’ll still be in the gym training and looking to spar. I’ve been competing since I was seven years old. سأكون 30, it’s a lot of time that I’ve spent grinding. I just want to be able to spend time with my family and my friends and help give back to this younger generation.

 

 

 

I take my hat off to him for getting in the ring and making this fight happen. You have to appreciate that as a fellow warrior and as a fellow gladiator, I respect it.

 

 

 

I have the strength, السرعة, قوة, حلقة البراعة, boxing IQall of that will come together on the 19عشر.

 

 

 

I definitely see my hand speed being effective but it’s more than that. That’s just a physical attribute. What happens when you see two fighters who have an equal amount of hand speed and an equal amount of power? It’s the mindset.

 

 

 

It’s always cool to compete with my younger brothers and share the field of battle with them. But I try not to magnify the event. The true focus is being victorious on the 19عشر.

 

 

 

It’s always important to see my brothers develop, even if it wasn’t on my card. We have a concept of a dynasty. My definition of that is information being passed down from generation to generation. I feel as though when my younger brothers get to the age I am, I expect them to be better than what I am now. The sky is the limit and I want them to keep developing not just as fighters but as men.

 

 

 

We put the city on the map. We’re bringing boxing back to the DMV area. Gervonta Davis is a fighter that I’ve watched come up through the amateurs and now he’s a world champion. Jarrett Hurd is another one that I’ve watched come up in the amateurs. He used to watch me train getting ready for the Olympics and now he’s a world champion as well. It goes to show that if you keep pushing, you stay hungry, diligent and you don’t cut corners, the sky is the limit.

 

JOSEPH DIAZ JR.

 

 

 

I have no hostility toward Gary Russell Jr. I respect Gary Russell Jr., and I know what he brings to the table. Ever since I was brought up as a professional fighter I was always humble and I was always down to earth. Now that I have the opportunity to become the champion that I know I can be I feel like I’m more outspoken because I know that the opportunity is finally here, and I know what I’m capable of doing.

 

 

 

I want to fight the best at 126 pounds and I want to show all the fans that I’m the real deal. By fighting and bringing on the toughest 126 pounders like Gary Russell Jr., and defeating him, that’s going to showcase to the whole boxing world that I am the real deal and I will be the king at 126 جنيه.

 

 

 

He’s been inactive and used to fighting just once a year now. But what makes him so dangerous is he’s very, very speedy and has great hand speed. And not only that but he knows how to use his hand speed and counter when guys are opening up. My father and I know what we are bringing to the table, and I’m fast, كذلك. I have a very high boxing IQ and I’m very powerful in there. I know how to land sneaky body shots and I’m a big 126-pound fighter, and that will be the key to victory. He will try and land his power shots, but they’re not going to be effective because I’m the bigger fighter.

 

 

 

I need to bring this WBC belt back to L.A. and to South El Monte. I’ll be the first champion coming out of there and I’m a role model to a lot of youth. That’s what makes me hungry and I’m one hundred percent confident I’ll be the champion and we will have a big parade in South El Monte, and you’re all invited!

 

 

 

I’m like Pernell Whitaker and an Oscar De La Hoya mix. Pernell because he’s fast and Oscar because he applies the pressure and throws combinations. That’s what I plan on bringing to this fight. Applying the pressure and taking him to a point where he’s never been before. He drops his hands a lot and his defense is not that good, so I’ll be taking advantage of that. I’ll be landing body shots, and let’s see if he can take it for 12 جولات.

 

 

 

This is an opportunity of a lifetime. Fighting for a world title against Gary Russell Jr., وحلم تحقق. I feel like I’m so much better a fighter now than I was at the Olympics. If feel like if I fought that kid who was in the Olympics now I’d stop him in the first round. My management and trainers have groomed me for this fight on May 19. I fought some undefeated fighters, some experienced fighters and some real live dogs. I just feel like all the experience I’ve gained in the past will serve me well.

 

 

 

I’d like to fight all the best in the 126-pound division, ليو سانتا كروز, أبنير ماريس, Oscar Valdez and Lee Selby. These are big fights that I really want to make and I want to fight the best and be the best.

غاري ANTONIO RUSSELL

 

 

 

We’re in the ring with Gary every day, so we see a lot of things that other people don’t. People only judge him for his hand speed and are just starting to recognize his power, but nobody has seen his full potential yet. No fighter he has faced has forced him to bring it out.

 

 

 

Diaz doesn’t know what he has coming for him. Most fighters are one-dimensional. Gary is comfortable fighting anyway. He can fight on the inside, the outside, he can counter, he can box you, JoJo Diaz does not know what to expect.

 

 

 

There’s never a time when we’re in the gym together when we’re not critiquing each other and learning. That’s the whole point of being in the gym every day. Once you feel you’re learning has stopped, I think you should give it up. We’re always in here trying to sharpen our game.

GARY ANTUANNE RUSSELL

 

 

It’s more enjoyable fighting with my brothers. As a child, if you had three kids and one of them went to school by himself, it would be a little rough. It’s great having that support and the comfort having your brothers on the same card.

 

 

 

We try to gravitate towards our brother and take certain things from him. We notice his hand speed and we’re his younger brothers, of course we have that alter ego where we think we could be faster than him or hit harder than him. That competitiveness drives us. It’s always there.

 

GARY RUSSELL SR.

 

 

 

The camp has been good. We’ve been getting the work in. Everybody seems to be on point. We’re always in camp together.

 

 

 

JoJo Diaz has a lot of confidence. All fighters pretty much all do the same thing, unless they have incredible physical attributes that make them stand out. JoJo believes in himself and that’s something that’s a plus for any fighter. Whether or not he’s ready to go out of his shell, هذا ويبقى أن نرى. He loves his left hand, he tries to go to the body. He impressed me as a good inside fighter.

 

 

 

This is a huge plus for us. We’re only 15 minutes from home. We just get to do what we have to do and go home.

 

 

 

Antonio is a really hard puncher. A lot of people don’t know it, but for that weight class, he hits extremely hard. Antuanne is starting to develop into a complete fighter. He’s always learning. You never get to the point where you have it all, it’s a constant growth but he’s really starting to understand the technical aspects of the sport. I’m happy with both of them.

Unified Women’s Super Middleweight Champ Faces Hanna Gabriels in the Main Event of SHOWTIME BOXING: طبعة خاصة الجمعة, يونيو 22 تابع حياتك موعد العرض®

ديترويت (مايو 10, 2018) – Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and unified women’s super middleweight champion Claressa Shields worked out for the media and spoke to local youth Wednesday at The Downtown Boxing Gym in Detroit. The boxing star is two weeks into training camp ahead of her SHOWTIME BOXING: طبعة خاصة showdown Friday, يونيو 22 في 10 عصرا. ET/PT live on SHOWTIME from the historic Masonic Temple.

 

 

 

The 23-year-old Shields, who grew up in nearby Flint, will attempt to become a two-division world champion when she faces unified women’s 154-pound champion Hanna Gabriels for the vacant IBF and WBA Middleweight World Titles.

 

 

 

Ahead of the crucial middleweight world title fight, Shields has altered her preparations significantly. She has changed her diet, switched to renowned trainer John David Jackson and has moved her camp from Michigan to Florida.

 

 

Joining Shields at the workout on Wednesday was Dmitriy Salita, Founder of Salita Promotions. Here is what Shields and Salita had to say.

Claressa شيلدز:

On fighting in Detroit…

“To fight in Detroit for a world title on SHOWTIME and to be mentioned with great Detroit fighters like Tommy Hearns and James Toney is incredible. Those guys are known worldwide. It shows me that I have a chance to do the same thing and bring attention to women’s boxing. That’s my goal overall – to make sure women’s boxing lives for a long time”

 

On moving camp to Florida…

“You really can’t deal with unnecessary distractions getting ready for big world title fights like I have been having. You want people pushing you to be better and not have people pulling you down.

 

 

 

“I was dealing with everybody who’s around pulling me left and right and calling me at 2, 3 o’clock in the morning. All this negative stuff that goes on in Flint that 23-year-olds are being involved in is something I can’t be involved in. That initially made me do the whole move. I have to stay focused and work hard on my goal of beating Hanna Gabriels and capturing the world title in a second division.

 

On training with John David Jackson…

“We’re on the same page and we’re always talking about the game plan for Hanna and what we’re going to do and what we have to work on. John doesn’t try to change my style, he just makes small adjustments to improve the good things that got me to this level. I feel great about this camp so far and I look forward to putting it all together in June.”

 

On Hanna Gabriels…

“Hanna is a talented world champion. I have a lot of respect for her skills and accomplishments. It takes great, competitive matches to bring women’s boxing to an elite level and that’s what I want to do. I always said that I want to fight the best. في يونيو 22, I look forward to putting on a special performance for the fans watching the fight on SHOWTIME and those at the Masonic Temple. It’s going to be a special night and I can’t wait to capture my second division world title close to home in front of my hometown fans live on SHOWTIME.”

 

On being an inspiration for kids…

“Kids need to know that everything is possible. I decided to be an Olympic gold medalist at the age of 11. I did it when I was 17. How do you stay focused on one goal all that time? Take one step towards it every day, sometimes small and sometimes bigger. لكن, the important thing is to keep focused on your goal. If you persevere and work hard enough, truly everything is possible”

 

ديمتري Salita, Founder of Salita Promotions

“We had a tremendous media turnout at today’s media workout at Detroit Downtown Boxing Club. It’s very special to see such support for Claressa, who’s story and success transcends boxing and is very much in line with the comeback story of Flint and Detroit – “America’s Greatest Comeback City”.

 

 

 

“It’s very meaningful for kids in Detroit gyms like the Downtown Boxing Club to see someone that came from a similar background and neighborhood that they did and accomplish all the amazing things that Claressa is doing. Claressa makes them see and believe that through hard work, belief and focus everything is possible. Boxing is a tool that she has mastered with which to deliver this very important message.

 

 

 

“June 22 is going to be one of the biggest fights of the year and one of the most meaningful and memorable moments in sports and women’s boxing.”

TOP SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT FRANCHON CREWS-DEZURN RETURNS ON FRIDAY, يونيو 22, IN DETROIT, ON THE UNDERCARD OF CLARESSA SHIELDS VS. HANNA GABRIELS IBF & WBA WOMEN’S MIDDLEWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

With her long-time rival, Claressa شيلدز, moving down to middleweight, Baltimore’s Franchon “The Heavy-Hitting Diva” Crews-Dezurn will finally be getting her own deserved chance to shine.

 

 

 

One of the best female fighters in the world not currently holding a world title, طواقم-Dezurn (3-1, 1 KO) will return to the ring for a six-round fight on the non-televised undercard of the blockbuster “It’s Our Time to Shine” event featuring two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and current Unified Women’s Super Middleweight Champion 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: طبعة خاصة (10 عصرا. 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.

 

تذاكر لهذا الحدث, التي يتم الترويج لها من قبل الترقيات Salita, تتوفر في 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 و $35.

 

 

 

Not long ago, طواقم-Dezurn, an eight-time national amateur champion and two-time medalist at the World Amateur Championships, looked to be the face of American women’s boxing before Shields, a younger boxing prodigy, stole much of her thunder and her spot on the inaugural women’s Olympic boxing team.

 

 

 

The pair faced each other again in their simultaneous pro debuts in late 2016, with Shields winning a decision.

 

 

 

منذ ذلك الحين, Crews has signed with Shields’ promoter, Dmitriy Salita of Salita Promotions, and won three straight fights in impressive fashion.

 

 

 

“Training is going good,” said Crews-Dezurn. “I’ve been helping my husband Glenn get ready for his next fight, so I’m already in great shape. I’m very happy to be getting back in the ring.”

 

 

 

An entrepreneur, مطرب, and business student in addition to boxing, the charismatic Crews-Dezurn is as marketable as any fighter could be, but has been forced to live in the sizable shadow cast by the success of Shields.

 

 

 

لكن, now that Shields is off chasing a showdown with German counterpart Christina Hammer at middleweight, the super middleweight division has an opening for a new world champion.

 

 

 

“I’d like to be fighting for a title within the next year,” continued Crews-Dezurn. “I know in my heart I’m right there with the best super middleweights in the world. I just need to keep working hard and let things happen like they should.”

 

 

 

Promoter Salita, a champion of women’s boxing and one of the main forces behind its resurgence, says Crews-Dezurn’s day is coming soon.

 

 

 

“Franchon will be world champion in the not-too-distant future,"هو قال. “She has all the skills and she works very hard to reach her goals. She deserves all the success she will have. I’m happy to be promoting her career. She’s a very special fighter and person.”

 

 

 

Crews-Dezurn’s opponent is currently TBA. “It’s Our Time to Shine” is presented by Salita Promotions.

LAS VEGAS (أبريل 7, 2018) – Jarrett Hurd unified the 154-pound division with a 12-round split-decision victory over Erislandy Lara in an all-action fight Saturday on SHOWTIME before a sold-out crowd of 2,579 at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

 

 

 

 

هيرد (22-0, 15 كوس), who entered as IBF Champion, dethroned WBA Champion in just the seventh unification in division history. The difference in the Fight of the Year candidate was a short left hook that floored Lara in the final minute of the fight. Had the 27-year-old Hurd not scored the knockdown, the fight would have been ruled a majority draw.

 

 

 

 

“It was a tough one, but I went out there and did exactly what I said I was going to do – fight all 12 rounds and get the victory,"قال هيرد. “I didn’t feel like that (I needed the knockdown). I feel like I was in control the whole fight, applying the pressure.

 

 

 

 

“I don’t think it had anything to do with age. I think it was me and the game plan we had to apply the pressure.”

 

 

 

 

Following the thrilling bout, SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray asked Hurd if he’d like to face WBC 154-pound champion Jermell Charlo, who was ringside, to further unify the division.

 

 

 

 

“’Swift’ isn’t ducking anyone,” Hurd responded. “I’m No. 1 الآن. We’re calling the shots.”

 

 

 

 

Hurd applied relentless pressure from the opening round, pressing forward against the crafty southpaw. He pounded the body, yet often neglected defense and ate punishing counter shots for 11 جولات. But the difference for Lara (25-3-2, 14 كوس), who was making the seventh defense of his title, was the brutal 12عشر جولة. مع الدم يتسرب من العين اليمنى المتورمة, ارتبط هيرد بخطاف يسار قصير أصاب لارا على الأرض لأول مرة منذ ما يقرب من خمس سنوات.

 

 

 

 

"إلى جانب الجولة الأخيرة, اعتقدت أنني كنت أفوز في هذه المعركة بسهولة,قالت لارا. "هذا لا يقرر القتال. كنت كسب المعركة. لكمة واحدة في قتال لا تحدد القتال.

 

 

 

 

“وكانت معركة كبيرة للجماهير. وقفت هناك, قاتل وكان متعة. اعتقدت أنني ربحت المعركة بوضوح. مرة أخرى ، هناك قرار يذهب ضدي, ولكن علينا فقط القيام بإعادة المباراة.”

 

 

 

 

الدخول في القتال, كان شارلو الإجماع لا. 1 مقاتل بوزن 154 جنيها. ذكر قضيته للحصول على فرصة للتوحيد ضد هيرد.

 

 

 

 

"انا محبط. لنذهب. نريد هذا العمل,أخبر تشارلو مضيف بطولة شوتايم للملاكمة براين كاستر. "أشعر أن هيرد خاض القتال فقط مع لارا لأنه أدرك أن القتال الأصعب هو مع جيرميل شارلو.

 

 

 

 

"لقد كنا هناك من قبل مع لارا. أنا أعرف ما يمتلكه. يجب على هيرد أن يجمع دفاعه لأنه لا يمكن أن يصيبني بهذه الطريقة. لارا لا تتحرك كما اعتاد. إذا كان يتحرك كما اعتاد على الفوز في تلك المعركة ".

 

استعاد جيمس ديجيل بطولة العالم للوزن المتوسط ​​للوزن المتوسط ​​(IBF) بقرار إجماعي في مباراة العودة مع كاليب تروكس., استعاد اللقب الذي فقده في ديسمبر الماضي في اضطراب العام شبه العالمي.

 

 

 

 

تم تسجيل قضية البطولة المكونة من 12 جولة 117-110 و 114-113 مرتين. DeGale, الذي حسم نقطة في 10عشر للدفع, فاز بجولات البطولة - 11 و 12 - على بطاقات أداء الحكام الثلاثة للفوز بالقرار.

 

 

 

 

"بطل العالم مرتين. انه شعور رائع,قال ديجيل. "لكن الفضل الكامل لكالب - يظهر أنه يستطيع مزجها مع كبار المقاتلين.

 

 

 

 

"أنا سعيد فقط لأنني بطل العالم مرتين واستعدت لقب بطولة IBF الخاصة بي. انا عدت, فريق مكتنزة, عدنا. عامان ونصف كان لديّها وخسرتها أمام كالب. لقد أحرجني, لكننا عدنا ".

 

 

 

 

DeGale (24-2-1, 14 كوس) تغلبت على قطع كبير من مؤخرة رأس عرضي في الثالثة, الذي حكم عليه بالخطأ نتيجة لكمة من الحكم روبرت بيرد.

 

 

 

 

"لم أستطع الرؤية من عيني اليمنى, قال DeGale. "أنا أحب روبرت بيرد (حكم), لكن اليوم كان مخطئًا بعض الشيء. لم أستطع الرؤية. لكني سعيد لأنني تجاوزت الأمر. لقد أظهرت بعض القلب. في تقريري الأخير المعركة, كنت مثل طفل صغير ضعيف ".

 

 

 

 

DeGale متصل 37 في المئة من قوته مقارنةً بـ 28 في المئة ل Truax. يعود الآن إلى لندن بطلاً للعالم مع بعض المعارك المحتملة الهائلة في المستقبل.

 

 

 

 

"أريد أن أكون مشغولا,قال ديجيل. "بقيت لي بضع سنوات في هذه الرياضة."

 

 

 

 

Truax (29-4-2, 18 كوس), الذي حارب لأول مرة كبطل للعالم, أصيب بخيبة أمل ودافع عن إعادة المباراة بعد إعلان النتائج.

 

 

 

 

"اعتقدت أنني فعلت ما يكفي لكسب المعركة, لكنني اعتقدت أيضًا أنني كنت مستويًا جدًا ولم أحصل على تسديداتي كما أردت,قال تروكس. "كنت مسطحًا قليلاً. شعرت بالارتياح حقًا لقدومي لكنني لم أستطع الحصول على تسديداتي مثل القتال الأخير. وقال انه لم يؤذيني, ولكنه هو ما هو عليه.

 

 

 

 

"لقد أعطيته مباراة العودة على الفور فلماذا لا تفعل ذلك مرة أخرى."

 

 

 

 

In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING tripleheader, Julian Williams scored a career-best win, defeating Nathaniel Gallimore via majority decision in an IBF Junior Middleweight World Title eliminator. وليامز, who edge Gallimore 116-112, 117-110, 114-114, is now in position to challenge Jarrett Hurd.

 

 

 

 

وليامز (25-1-1, 15 كوس) set the pace with a strong left jab in the opening rounds of the fight, keeping Gallimore at bay and the action on the outside. That changed around the fifth round as Williams abandoned the jab and the fight moved to the inside. Williams had his best round in the 11عشر, connecting on a massive left hand that set up a barrage of combos that nearly had Gallimore out on his feet. Gallimore (20-2-1, 17 كوس) survived the round, and Williams wasn’t able the finish him in the 12عشر, but it was clear Williams deserved the decision.

 

 

 

 

“I wasn’t surprised a judge had a draw,قال ويليامز. “Sometimes when you’re fighting real close like that, it is hard for judges to score. I knew I won. Once I heard 116-112 و 117-111, I knew I won because I knew he didn’t win eight rounds.

 

 

 

 

He is a strong fighter, but I knew he was going to do what he did. Start strong early, but I knew he wasn’t strong after six rounds.

 

 

 

 

The hits to the body was all in the game plan. You have to go to the body in a 12 round fight.”

 

 

 

 

Williams connected on 50 percent of his power shots and landed 37 في المئة من مجموع الطلقات له.

 

 

 

 

 

“I didn’t really think I won the fight,” Gallimore admitted. “I just let too many early rounds go. I just gave him too many rounds. I had him hurt a couple of times, but he was tough. I should have done more combinations. I will look at the fight and review it, and will make adjustments.”

 

 

 

 

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will replay on Monday at 10 عصرا. ET / PT على شوتايم EXTREME.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Vanity Nightclub at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, لاس فيغاس:

 

إيريسلاندي LARA

 

 

 

Everyone knows I love to fight his style. I’ve fought better and taller fighters than him and you’ve seen me dominate them. It’s going to be nothing different on Saturday night.

 

 

 

I want him to come forward. That’s what I’m prepared for. I’m going to give him a lessonon Saturday night.

 

 

 

I have to give Hurd credit for taking the fight. It’s been hard to get fighters in the ring with me. There’s no need to talk because on Saturday we will find out everything we need to know.

 

 

 

Everyone here talking from Hurd’s team can’t get in the ring with him. It’s different once you’re in the ring with me. You’ve never been in a big fight. We’ll find out what you have Saturday night. الآن, you’re all talk.

 

 

 

I’m absolutely ready for this fight. This is going to be a great battle for the fans on SHOWTIME. I’m excited to get in the ring and finally unify the decision. I’m preparing to make history.

 

 

 

I haven’t watched much video on Hurd, but as we saw from the Trout fight, he’s very hittable. تعال ليلة السبت, he better have worked on some defense or it won’t last very long.

 

 

 

I don’t want to hear anything about Jermell Charlo, because Jarrett Hurd is the one who stepped up. بيوم الأحد, Charlo can sign the contract and we can get ready to rumble.

 

JARRETT HURD

 

 

 

Lara has been the longest reigning champion and he was on top when I first turned pro. We’ve studied him a lot. I didn’t get into this sport to be anything but number one. Lara is the top guy, but after Saturday night, it’s going to be me.

 

 

 

 

“لقد كان معسكر تدريب كبير. We’re well prepared. This is the fight I’ve been asking for. After I beat Tony Harrison, Erislandy Lara had some words on Twitter for me. So I’ve wanted the fight since then. Somebody has to pay for that.

 

 

 

This fight is coming at the right time for me because my confidence is very high right now. He’s a little older so I’ll be the younger and fresher fighter. I just feel like it’s my time. I’m going to be relentless. I’m not stopping until I get what I want.

 

 

 

Lara is a veteran with a lot of experience. He knows how to win rounds and he can make you look bad no matter how good you are. I’m going to use my own awkward style and do what I do best.

 

 

 

With my power and skill set, I can stop any fighter in the division. That definitely includes Erislandy Lara.

 

 

 

Lara has great discipline in his game plan. No matter if he’s up on the cards or down or anything, he’s not going to switch it up. It’s hard to break a fighter when they’re disciplined like that. We have a plan for everything though and we’re confident that we’ll come up with something that will get us the victory.

 

 

 

Lara is a guy who can’t take pressure fighters well. I have some of the best pressure in the game. أنا أصغر سنا, أقوى, taller and longer. He’s not going to be able to run for 12 جولات.

 

 

 

Nobody wanted to fight this guy. I stepped up to the table because I know what I can do. He’s living the ‘American Dream’, but my dream has just begun. Saturday night I’m going to show you why nobody can survive 12 rounds with Jarrett Hurd. There’s a storm coming.

 

CALEB TRUAX

 

 

 

I’m honored to be here with these great fighters and back on SHOWTIME. Training camp was perfect for this fight. This is the longest camp I’ve had in my career and the most focused I’ve been.

 

 

 

I just want to go out there and silence people who said it was a fluke the first time I won. I want to prove that I belong at the top of the division. I’m going to put on a good show for the fans and retain my title.

 

 

 

We’ve had four months to prepare for James DeGale. Normally I have six to eight weeks, so it was nice to have a drawn out and specific training camp. We really focused on the conditioning and making sure I’m reaching my peak.

 

 

 

I’ve been through a lot in this sport. I’ve fought top guys in big fights but it finally came together last December. It meant a lot to me and now I’m prepared to put on an even better performance. I know DeGale is going to be hungry so I have to be ready for him.

 

 

 

I had a great camp this fight. I knew we were going to have a rematch so I was right back in the gym in a couple of weeks. My trainer put together a great plan to help me improve and prepare for what DeGale is going to improve on. I’ll be ready for him to be 100 في المئة.

 

 

 

I just want to get to Saturday night and put on another great performance to retain my belt. I’m going to give it my all to bring that belt back home to Minnesota.

 

JAMES DEGALE

 

 

 

My last performance was horrendous. It was shocking and embarrassing. I’m not going to make excuses about my shoulder and what went wrong. ليلة السبت, I will be a two-time world champion. أعدك أن.

 

 

 

I’ve boxed at the top level my whole life and put on some good performances. I know what was wrong with me and why I performed how I did in the first fight. I’m going to put it to rest when I become a world champion again.

 

 

 

It’s been a long, difficult training camp. I had a gray cloud above my head the last couple of months, but I’m ready to go become a world champion again on Saturday.

 

 

 

This time has turned me into a beast. I’ve had to take everything even more seriously than before. I might have gotten a bit complacent being a champion those last few years. I’ve locked myself down and I’m ready to go.

 

 

 

I would say 90 percent of the loss was because of what I didn’t do. I looked past him. I came back too quick from the injury, but he still had to get in there and take my belt. There’s no disrespect to Caleb, but I’ve fought the very best of the division and come out on top. The real James DeGale will be back on Saturday.

 

 

 

It’s going to be a dominant performance on Saturday. If I don’t beat Truax and beat him easily I can’t get to the level that I want. I know that’s what is coming. No excuses.

 

JULIAN WILLIAMS

 

 

 

We had a really good camp. I didn’t want to get into the trash talk this camp. He’s a solid fighter and I don’t underestimate anyone. But he seems like a bully. You can’t bully me. He’s obsessed with me on social media. I just have to focus on what he can do as a fighter.

 

 

 

He’s a nobody who wants some attention. I’m going to give him lots of attention on Saturday night. I’m going to shut this guy up.

 

 

 

He’s going to lose every single round and probably get stopped late. Every time he gets pushed he loses, gets a draw or gets knocked down. I’m drowning him in deep waters.

 

 

 

I’m calm right now but also anxious to show everyone what I have. I know I’m a world class fighter, I just have to go do it. I’m making sure I stay patient right now.

 

 

 

He lost to a journeyman, got a draw with a journeyman and got dropped by a journeyman. There’s nothing else to say. I’m taking him out on Saturday.

 

NATHANIEL GALLIMORE

 

 

 

Saturday night is judgment day and it starts with ‘J-Pebbles’. It’s going to be a night to remember for me.

 

 

 

It’s going to be a spectacular fight. I’m going to demolish him in grand fashion. He’s never faced anyone like me before. When I touch him, انتهى.

 

 

 

You better worry about what’s going to happen to you on Saturday night. It’s going to be nasty. This fight is going to show everyone who I am in this division.

 

 

 

I had the best training camp of my entire career. We covered all the bases. Saturdaynight I’m going to wipe the smile off his face. You think Charlo hits hard? You’re going to see on Saturday night.

 

 

 

This opportunity is huge. The division is mine for the taking. I study my opponents and I stalk them in the ring. Everyone will see what’s going to happen on Saturday.

 

ليونارد ELLERBE, الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة الترقيات مايويذر

 

 

 

This is a great card from top to bottom. We have none other than the longest reigning 154-pound world champion, إيريسلاندي لارا, taking on one of the toughest tests of his career in the very exciting, young and hungry world champion Jarrett Hurd.

 

 

 

The co-main event is another important fight with a rematch featuring Caleb Truax, who will be looking to hold on to the belt he took from James DeGale last year, while DeGale will look to get back to where he was before they met last December.

 

 

 

The show opens up with a high-octane 154-pound title eliminator with Julian Williams and Nathaniel Gallimore. This is the fight that could really steal the show. The winner of this fight will no doubt have their eye on the winner of Saturday’s main event.

 

 

 

These are some of the best fights that can be made in each weight class. We can’t wait for everyone to see these fighters put it all on the line on Saturday night.

هنا هو ما كان مقاتلو أن أقول الأربعاء:

 

إيريسلاندي LARA

 

 

 

 

Everything in training went how it was supposed to. We did our job and now it’s time to fight. I did everything in the gym that I needed to prepare for anything that Hurd can bring.

 

 

 

 

All of my opponents are taller than me. His size means nothing to me. I have the experience and I’m the best boxer in the division. He’s never seen anything like me.

 

 

 

 

He has to beat me to get the top spot in this division. I’m here to make sure that doesn’t happen.

 

 

 

 

I’ve earned everything in this sport the hard way. I’ve fought the tough fights for no money. I think everyone knows how talented I am and that I belong up there with the best in the sport.

 

 

 

 

I don’t watch film in training camp. A fighter can look one way on video, but totally different in the ring. He has to prepare for what I’m doing. I’m not worried about what he brings. I saw a little bit of his fight against Trout while I was warming up to fight Terrell Gausha, but that’s about it.

 

JARRETT HURD

 

 

 

 

There was something in me that always wanted this fight. Once I defended my title against Austin Trout, I was quick to get on top of this opportunity.

 

 

 

 

“هذه ستكون معركة صعبة. Lara is the type of fighter who has a lot of experience. It won’t be easy so I have to be well prepared and on top of my game come Saturday night.

 

 

 

 

We’ve been in the gym working a lot on our hand movement and footwork. I took too many punches against Trout and I knew what it was going to take to make those improvements.

 

 

 

 

Every fight is the most important fight of my career because I’m protecting this undefeated record. This is going to be a tough fight but I promise I’m going to give it my all and bring it to Lara all night long.

 

 

 

 

Being back in Vegas and back at Hard Rock where I beat Frank Galarza to really get this whole journey started means a lot to me. I’m planning to give everyone a great show just like I always do.

 

 

 

 

No matter what kind of fight he brings; I’m going to stick to my game plan. He has to fight at my pace. No matter what he comes with, I’m going to be in charge in the ring.

 

 

 

 

It’s always going to be fireworks when I’m in the ring. I have a fan-friendly style. في نهاية اليوم, you don’t have to worry about Lara running away, because I’m going to be in his face for 12 rounds.

 

CALEB TRUAX

 

 

 

 

I think DeGale has been making excuses. He couldn’t stop talking about how great his shoulder felt heading into our first fight. Then right after the fight he said he felt fine. Now I guess he came back too early. He was in a tough fight not too long ago, so we’ll see how he is on Saturday night.

 

 

 

 

 

I’m prepared for a better James DeGale. I took his belt and I know he’s going to come back hungry. I expect him to give it his all to get it back. He’ll be in top form.

 

 

 

 

As far as I know, I’m still an underdog for this fight. A lot of people think I was a fluke the first time around, so it’s up to me to prove them wrong. I’m ready to silence the critics and silence DeGale.

 

 

 

 

I felt like I was going to win the whole time, but a lot of people said it was one of the biggest upsets in British boxing history. It still hasn’t really sunk in. Nothing has really changed. I’m a busier man but I still keep it really low key.

 

 

 

 

Boxing isn’t a huge sport in Minneapolis because it’s such a great sports scene. Hopefully my win on Saturday and Jamal James on April 13 on PBC on FS1 will get some more kids into the gyms.

 

 

 

 

There were plenty of things that I had to improve on after the first fight. I’ve had four months to really dig down and prepare for this fight. I’ve known the rematch was coming and I’ve been able to get ready.

 

JULIAN WILLIAMS

 

 

 

 

I had a really good camp. I really was just focused on getting better and moving forward in my career. I got a lot of great rounds in with some quality fighters and it was a really productive camp.

 

 

 

 

I love fighting in Las Vegas. The electricity is always there and the fans are always welcoming. I love putting on a show for these fans.

 

 

 

 

I think Gallimore has performed decently against the competition he’s had. He got beat by a journeyman and had a draw with another journeyman. He seems to have gotten hot at the right time, but we’ll see if he brings it on Saturday night.

 

 

 

 

He’s backing himself into a corner. He has to back up those words he’s saying. Overall I think he’s a solid fighter, a good test and it should be an entertaining fight.

 

 

 

 

He said he’s going to knock me out, but that’s really the only way he could possibly win. One lucky punch. That’s all he’s banking on. I’m going to out class him and out dog him.

 

 

 

 

I’ve always known I had guts, I’ve always known I’m a really good fighter with all the tools to become a world champion. I didn’t need to learn anything about myself after the loss, I just had to correct some things and move forward.

 

NATHANIEL GALLIMORE

 

 

 

 

I feel great right now, I’m ready for the world to see the improved ‘Nate The Great’. I treat every fight like a world championship fight. Julian Williams has nothing for me. He has to worry about what I bring to the table. ليلة السبت, it’s going to be judgement day. The truth will come out.

 

 

 

 

“هذه المعركة تعني الكثير بالنسبة لي. This is what I’ve been dreaming about since I was a little kid. This is my chance to become great. I’m going to show the world I’m a different beast in the 154-pound division.

 

 

 

 

I’m bringing total domination for this fight. I don’t care what he’s training for. He could be training on Mars. He has to get up to my level. I’m tearing him apart.

 

 

 

 

I’m taking this fight so seriously. Julian Williams is quiet now, but he was loud before he fought Jermall Charlo. He has to figure out who he is. I’m going to show the whole world.

 

 

 

 

 

The game plan is to show off my whole arsenal. We’ve covered everything in the gym. I’m a different animal. Everyone in this division better look out for me. They’re going to have to crown me real soon.

كارديف, ويلز (مارس 31, 2018) - بطل العالم غير المهزوم والموحد للوزن الثقيل أنتوني جوشوا قطع المسافة لأول مرة في مسيرته, تحديد البطل الذي لم يهزم سابقًا جوزيف باركر في مباراة توحيد الوزن الثقيل يوم السبت في شوتايم في كارديف, ويلز.

IBF و WBA بطل العالم للوزن الثقيل جوشوا (21-0, 20 كوس) أضاف باركر لقب WBO إلى عباءته بـ 118-110, 118-110, و 119-109 قرار بالإجماع قبل الملاكمة سجل حضور داخلي لأكثر من 78,000 المشجعين في استاد الإمارة.

بينما كان يشوع هو المعتدي طوال الوقت, أسس باركر ضربة بالكوع في الجولات المبكرة في محاولة لإبطال ميزة الوصول البالغ ستة بوصات لجوشوا. وبينما كان باركر لديه لحظاته, كان جوشوا أكثر نشاطًا وسدد اللكمات الأكثر جدوى وبدا أنه أذهل النيوزيلندي في عدد قليل من المناسبات.

في جولات البطولة, يبدو أن جوشوا البالغ من العمر 28 عامًا كان يذهب إلى KO ضد باركر, الذي أظهر ذقنًا صلبة في أن يصبح المقاتل الوحيد الذي دفع جوشوا بعيدًا.

"لن أحكم على أدائي,قال جوشوا. "هذا ما يفعله مدربي. كانت استراتيجيتي هي الوقوف وراء ضربة بالكوع وقمنا بذلك. سوف يأخذك الوخز الجيد في جميع أنحاء العالم.

”من خلال الجولات 10, 11, 12, كنت أركز. ذهبت ال 12 جولات وحاربت معه بشدة, لكنه كان عملاً خفيفًا. هذه ملاكمة. هذا هو ما نقوم به. جوزيف باركر بطل العالم. كنت أعلم أنه سيتم تحديده. احيانا هكذا تسير الامور. تصبح معركة ملاكمة تكتيكية. كان هذا حول البراعة, وسيطرت وراء ضربة بالكوع واستخدمت البراعة.

"لا يمكننا أن ننسى - أنا الآن بطل العالم للوزن الثقيل الموحد."

بعد المعركة, سأل آندي سكوت ، مراسل قناة سكاي سبورتس ، جوشوا عما إذا كان يرغب في مواجهة ديونتاي وايلدر بطل العالم للوزن الثقيل الذي لم يهزم من قبل WBC للحصول على فرصة ليصبح بطل العالم للوزن الثقيل بلا منازع.

"مئة بالمئة, 100 في المئة,أجاب يشوع. "أنت تسألني, هل أريد أن أصبح بطل العالم للوزن الثقيل بلا منازع? WBA, اتحاد الملاكمة العالمي, المنظمة العالمية للملاكمة, IBO. واحد وعشرون قتال, ست مباريات في بطولة العالم. أنا لست في الضجيج. أنا عن العمل. هكذا, لنتحدث عن العمل. يستطيع إيدي هيرن التحدث مع آل هايمون و (شيلي فينكل).

"تمامًا مثل Dillion (وايت) قال, وايلدر, لنذهب, عزيزي ، لنذهب. على هذا الجانب من البركة, نحن جادون. بريطانيا العظمى, المملكة المتحدة, نحن نمثل. لدينا كل المقاتلين, أبطال من الوزن الثقيل وصولاً إلى فئات الوزن الأقل. نحن بصدد العمل ".

لم يبد جوشوا محبطًا لأنه لم يتمكن من تسجيل KO ومع ذلك لا يزال يعترف بأنه غير راضٍ عن أول قتال عن بعد في مسيرته.

"قطعا, نحن غير راضين. خطوة واحدة في وقت واحد,قال جوشوا. "لسنا أفضل ما لدينا حتى الآن ولكننا في قمة الملاكمة. أنا دائما أذهب في النهاية العميقة, دائما أتحدى نفسي. أنا مستعد لمزيد من التحديات. سنرى ما هو التالي ".

عندما يتم الضغط عليه من يود القتال بعد ذلك, قال يشوع, "وايلدر. وايلدر أو فيوري,"إشارة إلى زميله بريت وبطل العالم الموحد للوزن الثقيل السابق تايسون فيوري, الذي كان غير نشط منذ ذلك الحين 2015 بسبب مجموعة متنوعة من القضايا.

"اجلبه (وايلدر) في الحلقة, وسأطرحه شرارة,وعد يشوع.

باركر البالغ من العمر 26 عامًا (24-1, 18 كوس) لم يعترض على القرار فيما كان أول معركة توحيد بين أبطال الوزن الثقيل الذين لم يهزموا منذ ذلك الحين 1987.

"اليوم, لقد هزمني الرجل الأفضل. الرجل الأكبر,قال باركر. "خطتي هي العودة إلى المنزل, اعمل بجد وعد مرة أخرى.

"كنت سأعمل بجد أكبر. اصنع المزيد من اللكمات. أود الذهاب مرة أخرى. كان بإمكاننا العمل في الداخل أكثر ولكن مهما حدث, حدث. لا يمكنك العودة وتغيير ذلك.

"انا شاب, قوي, لائق وجاهز للعودة والتحدي مرة أخرى. سنعود مرة أخرى أقوى ".

سيتم إعادة البث التلفزيوني لـ SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING يوم السبت الساعة 10:35 عصرا. و/PT على شوتايم. بعد العرض التقديمي الليلة, جوشوا مقابل. سوف باركر الهواء الأحد في الصباح 9 صباحا. و/PT على شوتايم و الإثنين في 10 عصرا. و/PT على شوتايم EXTREME.
