星期六, 五月 19 LIVE on SHOWTIME Sports® 该活动还将在 Salita Promotions 上进行直播 & SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook Page

 

纽约 (五月 15, 2018) – Featherweight world champion 李谢肃方 and undefeated contender 乔什·沃灵顿 took questions from the media at Tuesday’s final press conference days ahead of their clash for the IBF Featherweight World Title this Saturday, 五月 19. The main event bout from Elland Road Football Ground in Leeds, England will stream live to U.S. audiences via SHOWTIME 体育 YouTube 频道SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook Page. (See links and embed codes below).

 

 

 

The SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL® livestream will begin at 5:00 P.M. 与 / 2:00 P.M. PT with coverage provided by BT Sport and BoxNation and featuring commentary by U.K. sportscasters John Rawling (逐一) and former featherweight world champion Barry Jones (分析).

 

 

 

塞尔比 (26-1, 9 科斯), of Cardiff, Wales has held the IBF Featherweight Title since 2015 when he wrested it from Evgeny Gradovich with an eighth-round TKO. He has since made four successful defenses, the latest being a unanimous decision over Eduardo Ramirez last December.

 

 

 

Warrington (26-0, 6 科斯), 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. He defeated Dennis Ceylan via stoppage in the 10th round in his last outing to earn his shot at the IBF title.

 

 

 

Following Carl Frampton’s 大胜 nonito Donaire主场 上个月, this will be the second of four high-stakes featherweights’ fights on SHOWTIME® platforms featuring seven of the consensus top-10 ranked featherweights, including three world champions and four former multi-division champions. Also on Saturday night, WBC世界冠军 加里·拉塞尔JR. 将捍卫他的腰带 约瑟夫·迪亚兹 live on SHOWTIME and on June 9, 狮子座圣克鲁斯押尼珥Mares will meet live on SHOWTIME in a highly anticipated rematch for the WBA Featherweight World Title.

 

 

 

The livestream of Selby vs. Warrington will precede Saturday evening’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® split-site telecast (10:05 P.M. ET / PT) that features Russell Jr. VS. Diaz from the MGM National Harbor in Maryland and WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion 阿多尼斯史蒂文森 与两个级别的世界冠军争夺冠军头衔 八斗杰克 from Air Canada Centre in Toronto.

 

 

 

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

李谢肃方

“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. 如果我没有, 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.”

乔什·沃灵顿

“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. 我给 100 百分. 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. 几年前, 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, 我只是准备好了. There’s no more need for talking. 上周六晚, 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, 相信我.

 

 

 

“I’m not just confident, 我 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.”

 

周六 FIGHT: 5:00 P.M. AND / 2:00 P.M. PT (注意: 开始时间为大概时间)

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 竞技场在费城, Khegai (12-0-1, 8 科斯) dominated the capable and experienced Lopez over eight mostly one-sided rounds (分数 77-74, 77-74 和 78-73).

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

“I congratulate Arnold on a sensational performance. He did a great job in his US Showtime debut,“说字. “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.”

这是战士们周四不得不说的话:

 

GARY RUSSELL JR.

 

 

 

“有时你倾向于放大某件事,因为它发生在你的家乡并且出现在一张大牌上. 它往往会偏离真正的目标和目的. 我只需要专注于目标是什么. 我们从不放大事件. 我认为邻居、邮递员以及那些看到我在街上慢跑时按喇叭的人能够上车开车,这很酷 15 几分钟后就能成为正在发生的一切的一部分,并看到他们环境的产品.

 

 

 

“我从家人那里汲取能量, 我的朋友, 小加里·拉塞尔的忠实粉丝. 这就是我最终这样做的目的. 不管我们的职业是什么, 我们努力让我们的家庭有财务稳定的感觉,这也是我的目标. 这就是我的动力.

 

 

 

“迪亚兹已经说过我是羽量级最好的拳手. 他已经表态了,其他世界冠军都不愿意上擂台和我竞争. 经理和发起人不愿意让他们的拳手上场对抗我.

 

 

 

“我欢迎迪亚兹想要战斗这一事实. 作为世界冠军, 我不想要或期望更少的东西. 我想要一个准备好战斗并能发挥出最佳水平的竞争对手. 我相信他会成为最好的. 我的目标是尽我所能做好准备. 我从来不会太关注我的对手. 如果小加里·拉塞尔. 是他在战斗之夜所能做到的最好的, 那么我们就很好了.

 

 

 

“我知道迪亚兹还年轻, 他是饿了. 他是头号竞争者. 他有八个星期的时间为除了我以外的任何人做准备. 对于真正做好准备和饥饿的人来说,这始终是一个秘诀. 我认为他知道他将与世界上最好的拳手之一一起进入拳击场,所以他会做好准备.

 

 

 

“我热爱我所做的事情. 即使我结束了拳击运动, 我仍然会在健身房训练并寻求切磋. 我从七岁起就开始参加比赛. 我将会 30, 我花了很多时间去打磨. 我只是想能够与我的家人和朋友共度时光,并帮助回馈年轻一代.

 

 

 

“我向他致敬,感谢他进入拳击场并促成了这场战斗. 作为一名战士和角斗士,你必须欣赏这一点, 我尊重它.

 

 

 

“我有实力, 速度, 动力, 环大将, 拳击智商 – 所有这些都将集中在 19.

 

 

 

“我确实看到我的手速很有效,但还不止于此. 这只是物理属性. 当你看到两个手速和力量相同的战士时会发生什么? 这就是心态.

 

 

 

“与我的弟弟们竞争并与他们分享战场总是很酷的. 但我尽量不去放大这个事件. 真正的重点是取得胜利 19.

 

 

 

“看到我的兄弟们成长总是很重要的, 即使它不在我的卡上. 我们有一个王朝的概念. 我对此的定义是信息代代相传. 我感觉好像当我的弟弟们到了我这个年纪的时候, 我希望他们比我现在更好. 天空是极限,我希望他们不仅作为战士,而且作为男人不断发展.

 

 

 

“我们把这座城市放在地图上. 我们将把拳击带回 DMV 地区. 格文塔·戴维斯(Gervonta Davis)是一名拳击手,我在业余选手中见证了他的成长,现在他是世界冠军. 贾勒特·赫德(Jarrett Hurd)是我在业余选手中见过的另一位选手. 他曾经观看我为奥运会做准备的训练,现在他也是世界冠军. 这表明如果你继续努力, 你保持饥饿状态, 勤奋并且不偷工减料, 天空才是极限。”

 

小约瑟夫·迪亚兹.

 

 

 

“我对小加里·拉塞尔没有敌意. 我尊重小加里·拉塞尔。, 我知道他会带来什么. 自从我作为一名职业拳击手长大以来,我一直很谦虚,而且总是脚踏实地. 现在我有机会成为我知道我能成为的冠军,我觉得我更加直言不讳,因为我知道机会终于来了, 我知道我能做什么.

 

 

 

“我想与最优秀的人战斗 126 英镑,我想向所有粉丝证明我是货真价实的. 通过战斗和挑战最艰难的人 126 像小加里·拉塞尔这样的磅王。, 并击败他, 这将向整个拳击界展示我是真正的拳击手,我将成为拳击之王 126 英镑.

 

 

 

“他已经不活跃了,现在已经习惯了每年只打一次架. 但让他如此危险的是他非常, 速度非常快,手速也很快. 不仅如此,当对手敞开心扉时,他还知道如何利用他的手速和反击. 我父亲和我知道我们要带来什么, 我很快, 还有. 我有很高的拳击智商,而且我在那里很强大. 我知道如何偷偷摸摸地进行身体射击,而且我是一名 126 磅重的拳击手, 这将是胜利的关键. 他会尝试击中强力投篮, 但它们不会有效,因为我是更强大的战士.

 

 

 

“我需要把这条 WBC 腰带带回洛杉矶. 前往南艾尔蒙地. 我将成为第一个从那里出来的冠军,我是很多年轻人的榜样. 这就是让我感到饥饿的原因,我百分百有信心我会成为冠军,我们将在南艾尔蒙地举行盛大的游行, 你们都被邀请了!

 

 

 

“我就像 Pernell Whitaker 和 Oscar De La Hoya 的混音. 佩内尔是因为他速度快,奥斯卡是因为他施加压力并投掷组合. 这就是我打算为这场战斗带来的东西. 施加压力并把他带到以前从未达到过的地步. 他经常掉手,而且防守也不是很好, 所以我会利用这一点. 我将拍摄人体照片, 让我们看看他能否接受 12 发.

 

 

 

“这是一生难得的机会. 与小加里·拉塞尔争夺世界冠军。, 是梦想成真. 我觉得我现在比在奥运会时更好了. 如果我觉得如果我现在和那个参加奥运会的孩子战斗我会在第一轮阻止他. 我的管理层和培训师为我准备了五月的这场比赛 19. 我与一些不败的战士战斗过, 一些经验丰富的战士和一些真正的活狗. 我只是觉得我过去获得的所有经验都会对我很有帮助.

 

 

 

“我想和126磅级的所有最好的选手战斗, 狮子座圣克鲁斯, 押尼珥Mares, 奥斯卡·瓦尔迪兹和李·塞尔比. 这些都是我真正想要参加的大型比赛,我想打最好的比赛并成为最好的。”

加里·安东尼奥·罗素

 

 

 

“我们每天都和加里一起在擂台上, 所以我们看到了很多别人看不到的东西. 人们只根据他的手速来评判他,并且刚刚开始认识到他的力量, 但还没人看到他的全部潜力. 他所面对的任何战士都没有迫使他拿出来.

 

 

 

“迪亚兹不知道他会面临什么. 大多数战士都是一维的. 无论如何,加里对战斗很舒服. 他可以在内线作战, 外面, 他可以反击, 他可以拳击你, 乔乔迪亚兹不知道会发生什么.

 

 

 

“当我们一起在健身房的时候,我们无时无刻不在互相批评和学习. 这就是每天去健身房的意义. 一旦你觉得你的学习已经停止, 我认为你应该放弃它. 我们一直在这里努力提高我们的比赛水平。”

加里·安图安·拉塞尔

 

 

“和兄弟们一起战斗更开心. 作为一个孩子, 如果你有三个孩子,其中一个自己去上学, 会有点粗糙. 能有这样的支持和让你的兄弟在同一张卡上感到安慰真是太好了.

 

 

 

“我们试图被我们的兄弟吸引并从他那里夺走某些东西. 我们注意到他的手速,我们是他的弟弟, 当然,我们有另一个自我,我们认为我们可以比他更快或者比他打得更重. 这种竞争力推动着我们. 它总是在那里。”

 

加里·拉塞尔老先生.

 

 

 

“营地一直很好. 我们已经开始工作了. 大家似乎都说到点上了. 我们总是一起在营地.

 

 

 

“乔乔迪亚兹很有信心. 所有的战士几乎都做同样的事情, 除非他们拥有令人难以置信的身体素质使他们脱颖而出. JoJo 相信自己,这对任何拳击手来说都是一个优点. 无论他是否准备好走出自己的外壳, 该有待观察. 他爱他的左手, 他试图走向身体. 他给我的印象是一名出色的内线战士.

 

 

 

“这对我们来说是一个巨大的优势. 我们只是 15 离家几分钟. 我们只需做我们必须做的事然后回家.

 

 

 

“安东尼奥是一位非常努力的拳击手. 很多人都不知道, 但对于那个重量级别, 他打得很重. 安图安开始发展成为一名全面的战士. 他一直在学习. 你永远不会达到拥有一切的地步, 这是一个持续的成长,但他真的开始了解这项运动的技术方面. 我对他们俩都很满意。”

CLARESSA SHIELDS DETROIT MEDIA WORKOUT QUOTES AND PHOTOS

 

Unified Women’s Super Middleweight Champ Faces Hanna Gabriels in the Main Event of SHOWTIME BOXING: 特别版本 星期五, 六月 22 住在 开演时间®

 

点击 这里 从特雷尔Groggins照片

 

底特律 (五月 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: 特别版本 showdown Friday, 六月 22 在 10 P.M. ET/PT live on SHOWTIME from the historic Masonic Temple.

 

 

 

这位23岁的希尔兹, 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盾:

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. 六月 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. 但, the important thing is to keep focused on your goal. If you persevere and work hard enough, truly everything is possible”

 

德米特里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, JUNE 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盾, 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, 克鲁斯-德祖恩 (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: 特别版本 (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.

 

门票活动, 这是由的Salita促销推广, 可在 Tick​​etmaster.com 或位于的共济会神庙票房 (313) 832-7100. 贵宾票定价为 $300, 马戏团门票 $125, 和剩余的门票 $75, $50 和 $35.

 

 

 

Not long ago, 克鲁斯-德祖恩, 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.

 

 

 

自那以后, Crews has signed with Shields’ promoter, 德米特里(Dmitriy)Word Words促销, 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, 歌手, 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.

 

 

 

然而, 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.”

 

 

 

发起人的话, 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,“他说,. “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 (四月 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.

 

 

 

 

赫德 (22-0, 15 科斯), 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,赫德说. “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, 谁在场边, to further unify the division.

 

 

 

 

“’Swift’ isn’t ducking anyone,” Hurd responded. “I’m No. 1 现在. 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 发. But the difference for Lara (25-3-2, 14 科斯), who was making the seventh defense of his title, was the brutal 12 圆. With blood seeping from a swollen right eye, Hurd connected on a short left hook that floored Lara for the first time in nearly five years.

 

 

 

 

“Besides the last round, I thought I was winning this fight easily,” Lara said. “That’s not to decide the fight. 我赢得了战斗. One punch in a fight doesn’t determine the fight.

 

 

 

 

“这是对球迷一个伟大的斗争. I stood there, fought and it was fun. I thought I clearly won the fight. Once again a decision goes against me, but h​ey we just have to do the rematch.

 

 

 

 

Entering the fight, Charlo was the consensus No. 1 fighter at 154-pounds. He stated his case for a chance to unify against Hurd.

 

 

 

 

“I’m down. 我们走吧. We want that work,” Charlo told SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING host Brian Custer. “I feel Hurd only took the fight with Lara because he realized the harder fight is with Jermell Charlo.

 

 

 

 

“We’ve been there before with Lara. I know what he possesses. Hurd has to get his defense together because he cannot get hit like that by me. Lara doesn’t move like he used to. If he moves like he used to he wins that fight.”

 

James DeGale earned back the IBF Super Middleweight World Championship with a unanimous decision in a rematch with Caleb Truax, taking back the title he lost last December in the near-universal upset of the year.

 

 

 

 

The 12-round championship affair was scored 117-110 和 114-113 两次. DeGale, who was deducted a point in the 10 for pushing, won the championship rounds – 11 和 12 – on all three judges’ scorecards to win the decision.

 

 

 

 

“Two-time world champion. 感觉太棒了,” DeGale的说. “But full credit to Caleb – he shows he can mix it with the top fighters.

 

 

 

 

“I’m just happy that I’m a two time world champion and I got my IBF world title back. 我回来了, Team Chunky, we’re back. Two-and-a-half years I had it and I lost it to Caleb. He embarrassed me, but we’re back.”

 

 

 

 

DeGale (24-2-1, 14 科斯) overcame a massive cut from an accidental head butt in the third, which was mistakenly ruled as the result of a punch from referee Robert Byrd.

 

 

 

 

“I couldn’t see from my right eye, DeGale said. “I like Robert Byrd (裁判), but today he was a bit wrong. I couldn’t see. But I’m just glad I got through it. I showed some heart. 在我的最后一战, I was like a weak little kid.”

 

 

 

 

DeGale connected on 37 percent of his power shots compared to 28 percent for Truax. He now returns to London a world champion with some massive potential fights in the future.

 

 

 

 

“I want to be busy,” DeGale的说. “I have a couple years left in this sport.”

 

 

 

 

特鲁阿克斯 (29-4-2, 18 科斯), who fought for the first time as a world champion, was disappointed and advocated for a rematch after the scores were announced.

 

 

 

 

“I thought I did enough to win the fight, but I also thought I was pretty flat and didn’t get my shots off like I wanted,” Truax said. “I was just a little bit flat. I felt really good coming in but I just couldn’t get my shots off like the last fight. 他从来没有伤害我, 但它是什么.

 

 

 

 

“I gave him a rematch straight away so why not do it again.”

 

 

 

 

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. 威廉姆斯, who edge Gallimore 116-112, 117-110, 114-114, is now in position to challenge Jarrett Hurd.

 

 

 

 

威廉姆斯 (25-1-1, 15 科斯) 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 11, connecting on a massive left hand that set up a barrage of combos that nearly had Gallimore out on his feet. 加利莫尔 (20-2-1, 17 科斯) survived the round, and Williams wasn’t able the finish him in the 12, but it was clear Williams deserved the decision.

 

 

 

 

“I wasn’t surprised a judge had a draw,”威廉姆斯说. “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 和 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 他的总投篮的百分比.

 

 

 

 

 

“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 P.M. ET / PT在Showtime EXTREME.

演出门票, 这是由TGB促销和梅威瑟促销推广, are on sale now and available by visiting AXS.com or the Hard Rock Hotel & 赌场, Las Vegas Box Office.

 

 

 

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Vanity Nightclub at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, 拉斯维加斯:

 

ERISLANDY 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. 现在, 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. 来吧星期六晚上, 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. 星期日, Charlo can sign the contract and we can get ready to rumble.

 

贾瑞特·赫德

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

It’s been a great training camp. 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. 我年幼, 强, taller and longer. He’s not going to be able to run for 12 发.

 

 

 

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 百分.

 

 

 

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.

 

詹姆斯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. 上周六晚, I will be a two-time world champion. 我答应你,.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

“我会说 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. 没有理由。”

 

朱利安·威廉斯

 

 

 

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, 结束了.

 

 

 

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.

 

LEONARD ELLERBE, 梅威瑟促销的CEO

 

 

 

This is a great card from top to bottom. We have none other than the longest reigning 154-pound world champion, Erislandy拉拉, 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.

这里是战士不得不说周三:

 

ERISLANDY 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.

 

贾瑞特·赫德

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

“这将是一个艰难的战斗. 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. 在一天结束时, you don’t have to worry about Lara running away, because I’m going to be in his face for 12 轮。”

 

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.

 

朱利安·威廉斯

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

“我现在感觉好极了, 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. 上周六晚, it’s going to be judgement day. The truth will come out.

 

 

 

 

“这场斗争意味着很多给我. 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.

ANTHONY JOSHUA OUTPOINTS JOSEPH PARKER IN HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP UNIFICATION SATURDAY ON SHOWTIME® BEFORE CAPACITY CROWD IN CARDIFF, 威尔士

Joshua Goes The Distance For First Time In His Career And Now Owns IBF, WBA & WBO Heavyweight World Championships

Encore Presentation In Primetime Tonight At 10:35 P.M. AND/PT在Showtime

加的夫, 威尔士 (三月 31, 2018) – Undefeated and Unified Heavyweight World Champion Anthony Joshua went the distance for the first time in his career, outpointing previously undefeated champion Joseph Parker in a heavyweight unification bout Saturday on SHOWTIME in Cardiff, 威尔士.

IBF and WBA Heavyweight World Champion Joshua (21-0, 20 科斯) added Parker’s WBO title to his mantle with a 118-110, 118-110, 和 119-109 unanimous decision before a boxing indoor attendance record of more than 78,000 fans at Principality Stadium.

While Joshua was the aggressor throughout, Parker established his jab in the early rounds in an attempt to negate Joshua’s six-inch reach advantage. And while Parker had his moments, Joshua was more active and landed the more meaningful punches and appeared to stagger the New Zealander on a handful of occasions.

In the championship rounds, it seemed the 28-year-old Joshua was going for the KO against Parker, who displayed a solid chin in becoming the only fighter to push Joshua the distance.

“I am not going to judge my performance,”约书亚说:. “That’s for my coach to do. My strategy was to get behind the jab and we did that. The good jab will take you around the world.

“Through rounds 10, 11, 12, I was focused. I went the 12 rounds and I fought him hard, but it was light work. 这是拳击. 这是我们做什么. Joseph Parker is a world champion. I knew he was going to be determined. Sometimes this is how it goes. It becomes a tactical boxing fight. This was going to be about finesse, and I controlled behind the jab and used finesse.

“We cannot forget – I am now the unified heavyweight champion of the world.”

战斗结束后, Joshua was asked by Sky Sports reporter Andy Scott if he’d like to face fellow-undefeated WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder for the chance to become undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

“One hundred percent, 100 百分,” Joshua answered. “You’re asking me, do I want to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world? 世界篮球协会, IBF, WBO, IBO. Twenty one fights, six world championship fights. I am not into the hype. I am about the business. 所以, let’s talk business. Eddie Hearn can talk with Al Haymon and (谢莉·芬克尔).

“Just like Dillion (Whyte) 说, ‘WILDER, LET’S GO, BABY.’ Let’s go. On this side of the pond, we are serious. 大不列颠, the United Kingdom, we are representing. We have all the fighters, champions from heavyweight all the way down to the lower weight classes. We are about the business.”

Joshua didn’t seem disappointed he was unable to score a KO yet still admitted he wasn’t satisfied with the first distance fight of his career.

“Definitely, we are not satisfied. One step at a time,”约书亚说:. “We are not our best yet but we are at the pinnacle of boxing. I always go in the deep end, always challenge myself. I am ready for more challenges. We will see what’s next.”

When pressed who he’d like to fight next, Joshua said, “Wilder. Wilder or Fury,” referencing fellow Brit and former unified heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, who has been inactive since 2015 due to a variety of issues.

“Get him (怀尔德) 在环, and I’ll knock him spark out,” Joshua promised.

The 26-year-old Parker (24-1, 18 科斯) didn’t dispute the decision in what was the first unification fight between undefeated heavyweight champions since 1987.

“Today, I got beat by the better man. The bigger man,” Parker said. “My plan is to go home, work hard and come back again.

“I would work harder. Make more punches. I would love another go. We could have worked inside more but whatever happened, 发生了. You can’t go back and change that.

“I am young, 强, fit and ready to come back and challenge again. We’ll be back again stronger.”
