JACK אדואו



"נפשית אני יותר טוב ממה שאי פעם הייתי. אני רעב יותר ואני מרגיש שעשיתי בפעם הראשונה שנלחמתי על התואר. אני תמיד רעב, אבל אני ממש מתרגש לקראת הקרב הזה.



"לפעמים הפסדים משפרים אותך. ההפסד הראשון שלי היה תאונה, והשתפרתי בגלל זה. ההפסד למרקוס בראון, זה לא היה ההפסד ההוגן ביותר, אבל זה עוד יותר רעב אותי. אני הולך לצאת לשם ולנצח במאבק ולא משנה מה.



"אנשים מחקו את פסקל כמה פעמים והוא תמיד חזר. הוא לוחם נזרק שבהחלט יודע להילחם. הוא מביא את זה כל פעם. יש לו יותר קילומטראז 'ממני, אבל אני לא יכול להתעלם מבחור כמוהו.



"אני מוכן לעשות כל מה שנדרש כדי לנצח בקרב. אני מרגיש 100% מבחינה פיזית. הקיצוץ אושר בחודש מרץ, ואנחנו כבר הרבה מעבר לזה. הייתי מוכן פיזית והמחנה הזה הוכיח את זה לי ולכל הצוות שלי.



"פסקל ואני נרתענו לפני כן, אבל זה היה מזמן והדילוג שונה בהרבה מריב אמיתי. נלחמתי באגרופים גדולים יותר, אבל אתה צריך לכבד את כוחו של כל מי שנמצא בזירה. הכל יכול להיות. אתה יכול להיתפס על ידי מישהו שאינו אגרוף.



"אני יודע שנשאר לי הרבה לתת את הספורט הזה. אני מרגיש שאני צעיר לגילי. ההפסקה בין קרבות והקפצה מהפסד גרמה לי להיות חדור מוטיבציה מתמיד. אני מוכן להיכנס ולתת את הביצועים הטובים בקריירה שלי. "



לאונרד Ellerbe, מנכ"ל מבצעי Mayweather



"לבדו יש זוהר עליו, בדיוק כמו באדו הזקן. הוא נראה סופר מהיר בזירה והכל זה מה שנרצה לראות.



"באדו ג'ק הראה פעם אחר פעם שהוא רוצה להילחם הכי טוב והוא לא מתכוון לסגת ולא משנה מה האתגר. מעולם לא היינו צריכים לחשוב על זה פעמיים ונסיגה אחת לא הייתה מונעת ממנו את המנטליות הזו.



"באדו הוא לוחם שמשתמש תמיד בפלטפורמה שלו כדי להפוך את העולם לטוב יותר עבור אנשים פחות בר מזל. הוא עשה דברים נפלאים והוא באמת כל כך הרבה יותר ממתאגרף אלוף. זה כבוד לעבוד איתו ותמיד תענוג לראות אותו מופיע ".

הנה מה שהיה ללוחמים והמנהלים לומר:

GERVONTA DAVIS:
מחשבות על גמבואה ועליה במשקל:
“אנחנו יודעים שגמבואה הוא ותיק ושהיו לו הרבה מלחמות, אז אנחנו יודעים שיש לנו מאבק קשה. הוא בהחלט מסוכן. הוא יכול להכות. הוא יכול להילחם.

“הקרב האחרון שלו הוא ניהל 134, כדי שנדע שהוא יכול להיות גדול ממני במשקל הזה. אני נכנס לזה בידיעה שהוא לוחם גדול ממני. אני רק אביא את כוחי ונצל את המעמד המשקל ההוא ולהפוך לאלוף העולם.

“אני מאמין שאני אחד הלוחמים הבכירים בעולם, אבל אני לא משווה את עצמי ללוחמים אחרים. אני פשוט יוצא ומבצע את העבודה.

“אטלנטה היא הבית השני שלי. אני בטוח שאמכור את זה.”

על יכולתו וייחודו כלוחם:
“אני בא מבד אחר מהבחורים האחרים האלה. עברתי הכל בחיי. הרבה אנשים לא חוו את מה שיש לי. אם אי פעם אקבל מכות זה היה צריך להיות על ידי מישהו שעבר את מה שעברתי. זה לא יכול להיות מישהו שפשוט התאמן כל חייהם.

“בכל פעם שאני נכנס לזירה אני מוכן להשאיר את הכל שם. הרבה אנשים לא ראו את מלוא כישורי כי לא נלחמתי ביריב שהוציא אותם החוצה.”

על הפוטנציאל שלו בספורט:
“עולם האיגרוף לא ראה את הפוטנציאל האמיתי שלי כלוחם, הם פשוט ראו את הכוח שלי. אני סוג המתאגרף שבו אם אתה לא שייך לשם איתי, אתה לא תהיה שם יותר מדי זמן. יש לוחמים שאוהבים לקחת את הזמן. אני הטיפוס, אם אני יודע שאתה לא ברמה שלי, אני הולך להראות את זה. העולם יראה. אני אלחם בכל אחד.”

JACK אדואו:
במפגש הקרוב שלו נגד פסקל:
“אני מתרגש למאבק הזה. למעשה התקשרתי לפסקל יום לפני הקרב האחרון שלו והודעתי לו שאני שורש לו. אבל זה עסק בסופו של יום. אני בא להחזיר את התואר שלי.”

על איך הוא מרגיש בגיל הזה:
“אני מרגיש צעיר 36 שנים. אני חי חיים נקיים. אני תמיד באימונים בחדר הכושר ואני משתדל לא לקחת שום עונש. נותרו לי כמה שנים ואני חדור מוטיבציה יותר מתמיד. הייתי צריך את ההפסקה הקטנה ההיא. לא הייתה לי הפסקה מאז שהייתי חובבן לפני עשרים שנה. לקחתי זמן להירגע עם המשפחה ולאכול אוכל טוב. עכשיו אני רעב.”

בהופעתו האחרונה מול מרקוס בראון:
“כל מי שראה אותי בקרב האחרון שלי יכול היה לראות שאני שטוח. יצר הלחימה שלי התחיל באותה נקודה. הוא נלחם באדם מת.”

על דייויס נגד. התאמה לגמבואה:
“זה מאבק גדול. גמבואה קצת יותר מבוגרת, אבל הוא נראה טוב בקרב האחרון שלו. אני גדול, מעריץ גדול של טנק – הדרך בה הוא נלחם, המהירות שלו, האתלטיות שלו, הכל. יש לו כוח כוכבים. הוא היה על הכרטיס התחתון שלי, עכשיו אני על שלו. הוא הולך להביא דברים גדולים לספורט וכל עוד הוא יישאר מרוכז, הוא הולך להיות סופרסטאר. הוא כבר סופרסטאר.”

לאונרד Ellerbe:
על דייוויס’ מיקום והתקדמות בספורט:
“אנו הולכים להראות לכולם כיצד הוא יהפוך לכוכב הגדול ביותר בספורט. ב 2020 אנחנו הולכים לפוצץ את זה מהמים. הצלחנו לחשוב מחוץ לקופסה. ככה מגדלים את הספורט. עשינו מאמץ מרוכז להעביר אותו למיינסטרים; עובדים עם עורבי בולטימור, המצעד שלו, עכשיו אטלנטה.

“התוכנית שלנו היא לבצע את הקרבות הגדולים והטובים ביותר שיש שם. אנחנו הולכים לקרוא לזריקות וזה הולך להיות בתנאים שלנו, ואנחנו נודיע לכולם מתי זה יקרה. כולם רוצים להילחם בטנק. יש דבר אחד נפוץ כשמדברים עליו 126, 130, 135, ועכשיו 140. יש שם אחד שנפוץ בקרב הלוחמים וזה טנק. זה הולך להיות מסע נהדר וכדאי שתעלו עליו עכשיו.

“אם הוא יכול לעבור את גמבה בדצמבר 28, ואז פנימה 2020 הוא נכנס לעולם התשלום לפי צפייה. כשיש לך סוג כזה של כוח כוכב ואתה חושב מחוץ לקופסה, לא רק אוהדי אגרוף, אנחנו הולכים לעשות את הקרבות הגדולים ביותר בעולם.”

על באדו ג'ק:
“באדו חלום של האמרגן. הוא בחור שלא נותן לך שום בעיות. הוא שם עושה דברים נפלאים עבורו ועבור משפחתו. הוא עושה כל כך הרבה כדי לעזור לכל כך הרבה אחרים. הוא משתמש בפלטפורמה שלו בצורה הנכונה. זה כבוד לעבוד עם לוחם כמוהו.

“תמיד ידעתי שהוא כישרון גדול ולפעמים אפשר למצוא את היהלומים במחוספס. כולם תמיד מסתכלים על החבר'ה שיוצאים מהאולימפיאדה. ראינו אותו בחדר הכושר והוא ממש פישל בחור. הייתה לנו עין עליו ועבדנו על עסקה עם לו [DiBella] והשאר היסטוריה.

“הייתה לנו נסיגה אחת, אבל הכל קורה מסיבה, והוא פשוט המריא מאז. הוא לוחם נהדר ואני אוהב את העובדה שהוא תמיד מוכן להילחם הכי טוב. מעולם לא היה צריך לנחש שנייה שהוא מוכן להילחם בכולם.”

סטפן אספינוזה:
“ישנם יתרונות וחסרונות בקידום מופע בתאריך זה. היו הרבה הצלחה בקידום מופעי מוזיקה באותו סוף שבוע. זה לא תפוחים לתפוחים, אבל זה אחד הגורמים שנכנסו ויש דרך להפוך את זה למשהו מיוחד וייחודי בגלל קהל המעריצים של גרבונטה.

“זה נהדר שיש מתאגרפים מיומנים אבל אנחנו צריכים, לבריאות הספורט, בחורים כמו גרבונטה שמכניסים קת מושבים. זה המפתח בהבאתו לאטלנטה. אגרוף הוא חלק מתרבות העוברת למוסיקה ולספורט. אין אתלט שלא צופה במשחק אגרוף בתשלום לפי צפייה. השימוש בזה עם אישיות כמו טנק רק הולך להרחיב את הספורט.

“יש אותנטיות ופתיחות לגבי גרוונטה. יש הרבה אנשים שהיו להם נסיגות שלא מדברים על זה, כמו טנק. לוקח סיכון לדבר על זה ובגלל זה הרבה אנשים יכולים להתייחס. זה טנק. מה שאתה רואה זה מה שאתה מקבל. זה אמיתי מאוד. זה מאוד אותנטי ואני חושב שבגלל זה אנשים מתחברים אליו לאדם לעומת לו הלוחם.”

Undefeated WBC Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo Defends Against Highly-Ranked Contender Dennis Hogan Live on SHOWTIME® Saturday, דצמבר 7 in Premier Boxing Champions Event from Barclays Center in Brooklyn

כרטיסים למכירה עכשיו!

BROOKLYN (אוקטובר 17, 2019) – Undefeated WBC Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo will defend his title against highly-ranked contender דניס הוגאן יום שבת, דצמבר 7 לחיות על שואוטיים מבנק ברקליס מרכז, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™, באירוע שהציג אלופי הפרמייר באגרוף.

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® מתחיל ב 9 p.m. ET p.m / 6. PT and is headlined by unbeaten middleweight star Charlo making the second defense of his 160-pound title against Hogan, a tough former world title challenger who has campaigned from super welterweight through light heavyweight.

Tickets for the live event, which is promoted by Lions Only Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on-sale now and can be purchased atticketmaster.com ו barclayscenter.comTickets also can be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. הנחות קבוצה זמינות על ידי קורא 844-BKLYN-GP.

Jermall Charlo is a can’t miss attraction and one of the brightest stars in boxing,” said Tom Brown, נשיא מבצעי TGB. “He’ll look to make the second defense of his WBC Middleweight Championship in his fourth appearance at Barclays Center on December 7. He’ll have his hands full with the hard-charging Dennis Hogan, who many believe should be a 154-pound champion and should have earned the decision over junior middleweight champion Jaime Mungia. That performance has put him right back in a position to fight for a title and there’s no doubt that him and Jermall are going to leave it all in the ring and give fans a great fight live on SHOWTIME.

Jermall Charlo is one of those rare athletes who creates a spectacle every time he steps in the ring, ודצמבר 7 לא יהיה שונה,” said Stephen Espinoza, נשיא, ספורט & תכנות אירוע, Showtime Networks Inc. “Jermall is the complete package – מהירות, כוח, athleticism and elite talentso it is no surprise that he is one of the most avoided boxers in his division. Dennis Hogan deserves credit for stepping up to a challenge which many other middleweights wouldn’t. Hogan is a tough, aggressive fighter who many believe should already be a world champion. This is an intriguing clash of styles and personalities.” 

We’re looking forward to hosting another great night of Brooklyn Boxing and to welcoming Jermall Charlo back into our ring for the fourth time,” said Keith Sheldon, EVP of Programming and Development for BSE Global. “December’s matchup against Dennis Hogan exemplifies our ongoing commitment to bringing world class fights to Barclays Center featuring the sport’s most exciting stars.

The undefeated Charlo (29-0, 21 קוס) is one of the most exciting young champions in the sport. He and his twin brother, Jermell, were super welterweight champions simultaneously between 2015-17 before Jermall decided to move up to middleweight. Charlo won the IBF Junior Middleweight title with a thrilling TKO victory over Cornelius Bundrage in 2015. He made three successful defenses, including a victory over current unified champion Julian Williams, before moving up to middleweight.

The 29-year-old has proven to be just as dominant at 160 pounds as he was at 154, with three convincing performances since moving up in weight. Charlo will be making his second defense of the WBC middleweight title and fighting for the fourth time at Barclays Center. In a homecoming defense in June on SHOWTIME, he successfully defended the title against Brandon Adams with a unanimous decision in his first bout since being elevated to full champion. In his last fight at Barclays Center he shared the card with his twin brother, Jermell, and came away with a hard-fought unanimous decision over tough veteran Matt Korobov last December.

Nobody knows Dennis Hogan like I know Dennis Hogan,” סעיד Charlo. “He likes to come straight forward with that ‘Mexican’ סִגְנוֹן. I’m going to exploit that. He’s a tough fighter and he deserves a shot at the world championship because he competed well at the championship level already.

I’m going on two consecutive 12-rounders and I don’t feel good about that. I’m ready to get back to my thing, which is knocking them out and getting them out of there. This is a big fight for me because it’s my 30ה fight and I’m about to turn 30.

הוגאן (28-2-1, 7 קוס) is coming off a razor-thin majority decision loss to Jaime Munguia in a super welterweight world championship match on April 13 in which many thought Hogan did enough to pull off the victory. The 34-year-old, who was born in Ireland and now lives in Queensland, אוסטרליה, is looking for a clear-cut victory over Charlo in his first U.S. fight since 2016. Hogan put together a six fight winning streak before the title fight against Munguia.

I am excited for the opportunity to challenge for the most prestigious belt in boxing, the WBC Middleweight world title against Jermall Charlo at Barclays Center,” said Hogan. “It doesn’t get any bigger than fighting in Brooklyn on SHOWTIME against the undefeated middleweight champion. After the disappointment I faced in April in Mexico, having been cheated out of the WBO Junior Middleweight world title that I strongly feel I earned, I am extremely grateful to have another opportunity to become a world champion.

As an Irishman, I feel right at home in New York and have no issue traveling abroad once again to achieve my dream. I have successfully competed at light heavyweight and middleweight as a professional and I will feel stronger with the extra six pounds on December 7. I’m thankful to Jermall and his team for working with my team to provide this opportunity. I will be prepared and ready to shine.

Top Super Welterweight Erickson Lubin Now Set to Take On Hard-Hitting Nathaniel Gallimore In Main Event Of Premier Boxing Champions Event On Saturday October 26, Live on SHOWTIME® from Santander Arena in Reading, אבא.

יותר, Rising Heavyweight Sensation Efe Ajagba Added To The Televised Card Replacing Rau’shee Warren vs. עמנואל רודריגז

טרל Gausha & Rau’shee Warren Withdraw Due to Injuries

קריאה, אבא. (אוקטובר 10, 2019) – Top super welterweight contender אריקסון “פטיש” לובין will now face hard-hitting נתנאל Gallimore in a 10-round showdown on Saturday, אוקטובר 26, live on SHOWTIME from Santander Arena in Reading, אבא., באירוע שהציג אלופי הפרמייר באגרוף.

The all-action Gallimore replaces טרל Gausha, who was forced to withdraw from the main event bout due to an injury to his left hand during sparring that required surgery.

Unbeaten heavyweight sensation Efe Ajagba will enter the ring against once-beaten Jack Mulowayi in a 10-round bout that replaces the previously announced Rau’Shee Warren vs. Emmanuel Rodriguez fight. Warren had to withdraw from the contest due to a right hand injury suffered during sparring.

The three-fight SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION begins live at 9 p.m. ET p.m / 6. PT and also features former lightweight world champion רוברט ג 'וניור הפסחא. making his super lightweight debut against battle-tested veteran Adrian “אל טיגרה” Granados in the 10-round co-featured attraction.

כרטיסים לאירוע, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and King’s Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased through Ticketmaster.com or at the Santander box office (Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. – 5 אחה"צ, Saturdays 10 a.m. – 2 אחה"צ).

אורלנדו, Florida’s Lubin (21-1, 16 קוס) was one of the fastest rising contenders in boxing as he quickly raced to the top of the ladder to challenge Jermell Charlo for the WBC 154-pound championship in 2017. Following a one-punch, first-round stoppage to Charlo, the 24-year-old Lubin has rebounded with three straight stoppage victories of his own to regain his momentum toward a world championship.

In February, Lubin became the first boxer to stop former champion Ishe Smith and is coming off a TKO victory over Zaharia Attou in his last fight in June on SHOWTIME.

It’s unfortunate that Gausha had to pull out because I was really looking forward to that fight,” said Lubin. “Now I’m facing Nathaniel Gallimore, who is a very good fighter whose only losses are to top level guys. I’m expecting a very difficult fight, one that will be explosive for the fans, but one I know I will win. It’s my time to show the world I’m ready to be back on top of the super welterweight division.

The 31-year-old Gallimore (21-3-1, 17 קוס) most recently defeated Antonio Todd by decision in August to rebound from close decision losses to unified champion Julian Williams and top-ranked contender Patrick Teixeira in 2018. Born in Kingston, Jamaica and fighting out of Evanston, אילינוי, Gallimore put together a seven-fight winning streak before the Williams fight, including knockouts of contenders Justin DeLoach and Jeison Rosario.

I’m approaching this like any other big fight that was in the works for a long time,” said Gallimore. “I’ve been waiting for this moment in my career for a while. This is a stepping stone that can take me where I want to go. Lubin’s a pretty good boxer-puncher. He was on the rise for a moment and I knew about him coming up. זה הולך להיות קרב גדול. I’ll make any adjustment in the ring to capitalize on what I need to do to be victorious that night.

Nigeria’s Ajagba (11-0, 9 קוס) most recently passed the toughest test of his professional career when he defeated fellow 2016 Olympian Ali Eren Demirezen by 10-round unanimous decision in July. The 25-year-old Ajagba gained widespread notoriety in August 2018 when his opponent, קרטיס הארפר, walked out of the ring after touching gloves to start the first round. Ajagba won the fight without throwing a punch as Harper was disqualified.

Living in Stafford, Texas and training with Ronnie Shields, Ajagba has steadily increased his competition and added knockouts wins over Amir Mansour and Michael Wallisch this year.

Fighting out of Antwerpen, בלגיה, by way of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mulowayi (7-1-1, 3 קוס) יעשה U.S. הופעת בכורה באוקטובר 26 in a pro career that dates back to 2015. The 32-year-old was unbeaten in his first seven pro fights before losing a narrow majority decision to Herve Bubeaux in a bout for the Belgium heavyweight title in May. He rebounded to defeat Artur Kubiak in July heading into his fight against Ajagba.

Romero will open the telecast against an opponent to be announced.



Tickets for the Mayweather Promotions’ Sin City Showdown go on sale tomorrow/Wednesday at 12 p.m. PT, מתחיל ב $25 and can be purchased by visiting: https://mayweatherpromotions.com/events/.



“This is our second ShoBox show of the year and we’re happy to have made Sam’s Town our home for these events,” says Mayweather Promotions CEO, לאונרד Ellerbe. “I can’t say enough that this is the perfect setting and platform to showcase our upcoming prospects. Xavier Martinez is one to watch for as he headlines his first ShoBox כרטיס. We have a very exciting line-up of fighters, both on and off-television, making for a card that you don’t want to miss.”



מרטינז (14-0, 10 קוס), של סקרמנטו, קליפורניה., has scored six straight knockouts, including a third-round stoppage of John Vicente Moralde in his ShoBox debut in April (Watch KO כאן). The 21-year-old turned professional in 2017 in Mexico following an amateur career where he amassed an 85-10 record while competing in the 2012 ו 2013 National Championships and earning a ranking as the No. 3 amateur in the country. Best known for his crafty and powerful fighting style, Martinez joined the Mayweather Promotions team in late 2016 with a unanimous decision win over Wilfredo Garriga at Sam’s Town Live.



“I am really excited to get back into the ring,” said the 21-year-old Martinez. “Sam’s Town has become my home away from home and I’ve had a lot of great performances there. I’m really just looking forward to putting on a great performance again on national television and reaching a larger audience. Soon enough everyone will know who Xavier Martinez is.



“מחנה אימונים הולך נהדר. I’ve added a strength and conditioning coach and a nutritionist. Having someone help me prep my meals and educate me on what’s going into my body has really helped me train better and get my body in the right shape. My energy level for training is different and I feel stronger.



רוזלס (22-3-1, 10 קוס), 27, פנה מקצועי ב 2008 and started his professional career unbeaten in his first 22 bouts while competing mostly in his native Philippines. Rosales stepped up his level of opposition in 2017, losing to former two-division world champion Jhonny Gonzalez in 2017 ו 2016 Olympic Silver Medalist and undefeated prospect Shakur Stevenson in 2019. בהתקף האחרון שלו, he lost a close split-decision to undefeated prospect Tyler McCeary. Experienced against top opposition, Rosales’ three losses have come against opponents with a combined record of 96-11-1.



“He’s undefeated, but I have far more experience with better guys so I have that advantage coming into this fight,” Rosales said. “I’m coming off two tough fights and this one is going to be another great fight to test myself as a fighter as well as a good show for the fans. I’m back in the gym working on a couple of things, and I’m coming into this fight stronger and sharper.”



היצ'ינס (9-0, 5 קוס), מברוקלין, N.Y., is a former two-time Golden Gloves champion who represented his parents’ home country of Haiti in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games, where he lost to team USA’s Gary Russell Jr. One of boxing’s top young prospects, Hitchins has sparred and trained with several world champions including Terence Crawford and stablemate Gervonta Davis. Just 21-years-old, Hitchins boasts incredible hand and foot speed and the boxing IQ of a veteran contender. Having fought eight out of his nine pro fights in his hometown, Hitchins will travel to Las Vegas looking for a statement win in his television debut.



I’m ready to pick back up where I left off,אמר היצ'ינס. “I’ve remained in great shape since my last opponent fell through back in July, but it worked out because now I get an opportunity to show my talents on national television. My brother Tank [Gervonta דייוויס] showed me a lot of things this summer and great techniques to sharpen my skills. I’m working hard and getting work in multiple gyms across different weight classes to help me with my speed and power. I’m going to give it my all and deliver with a dominating win.”



ג'ונסון, a Las Vegas resident, started his professional career with four consecutive TKO wins. His past four fights have all come against undefeated opposition including a split decision win over Larry Gomez, מי שהיה 8-0 entering the fight, in his last outing in April. Johnson’s lone loss came against 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist Fazliddin Gaibnazarov.



This is going to be an entertaining fight for the fans,אמר ג'ונסון. “I predict a fourth or fifth round knockout – that isn’t me being cocky, just me understanding what’s on the line. This is a huge fight for me and I’m going to rise to the occasion. I’m here to expose everyone I step in the ring with. I’ll fight anybody I feel is a good challenge. I’ve seen Hitchins spar Devin Haney and I’ve watched a few of his fights. He did really good, but I was able to identify some opportunities and I feel confident I can beat this kid.”



Las Vegas’ Newman started boxing when he was 9 years old and built up an amateur record of 25-5 before turning pro in 2014. Impressed by Newman’s skills and technique in the ring as an amateur, Floyd Mayweather signed the rising middleweight to his growing stable of fighters in the summer of 2014. Newman made his professional debut on the Mayweather vs. Maidana II undercard, where he fought to a draw with Azamat Umarzoda. He won his next seven contests before dropping a decision to his November 1 יריב, Mark Anthony Hernandez, on the undercard of Mayweather vs. McGregor in August 2017. He has since rebounded with three consecutive KO wins at Sam’s Town.



“I’m thankful to my team for another fight,” said Newman. “This is my third fight this year, and I’m looking forward to putting on a show and really ending this year with a bang. Training camp has consisted of great sparring with A-level guys, including Anthony Dirrell for his fight with David Benavidez. I was able to get a lot of quality rounds in already, and this is just the beginning of my training camp. I’m extremely sharp now so we’re just maintaining that and getting my body into fight shape.”



הרננדז, 26, של Fresno, קליפורניה., is no stranger to fighting under the spotlight. After dropping a split decision to Kyrone Davis in 2017, Hernandez bounced back with the biggest win of his career over Newman on the undercard of the blockbuster Mayweather vs. McGregor event. Hernandez was among 16 professional fighters selected to compete at 160 pounds on the 2018 reboot of המועמדת סדרה. He earned a split decision over Danny Valdivia and a unanimous verdict over Quantavious Cash to finish behind champion Brandon Adams and runner-up Shane Mosley Jr. In February of this year, he suffered a setback in a rematch to Jeison Rosario, who he fought to a draw with in 2018, but rebounded with a unanimous decision win over Francisco Castro in his last bout.



I expect Kevin to come better than he did the first time we fought,” said Hernandez. “The first fight was a clear unanimous decision for me. I didn’t think there was any controversy. He has his reasons as to why he didn’t perform, but that doesn’t matter to me. I went up in weight to take that fight from 154 ל 165 pounds so I was also coming in with a slight disadvantage, and now I’m moving up again to fight him again. I out-boxed him and out-fought him the first time and fans can expect a great fight again. He’s a really good fighter, I won’t take anything from him. Moving up again will be a challenge, but I think I can beat him again.



Rising lightweight prospect Romero, born and raised in North Las Vegas, started his boxing career at age 18 after spending much of his youth competing in Judo. Despite a limited amateur career consisting of just 45 קרבות, Romero gained the attention of Floyd Mayweather and was signed to his promotional company in November of 2016. He made his professional debut the next month and scored a TKO just over a minute into the fight. With eight stoppages in nine professional fights, Romero packs a heavy punch and will be looking for his fifth straight knockout on November 1.



It’s been a great year for me professionally,” said Romero. “I’ve been able to gain an even larger fan base since my last performance earlier this year and I’m excited to do what I do best and that’s knocking out the competition and continuing to grow as a fighter. A lot of people have doubted me for my lack of amateur experience, but my power and boxing IQ are undeniable. I’m taking the experience from my last fight and working to correct a few things. My goal is to become the most versatile fighter backed by power.”

UNDEFEATED HEAVYWEIGHT PROSPECTS JERMAINE FRANKLIN AND OTTO WALLIN TESTED IN SEPARATE SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION BOUTS FRIDAY, יולי 12 בשידור חי ON SHOWTIME®

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



לחיות ב 10 p.m. ET/PT From Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Wash.



NEW YORK - מאי 30, 2019 – Two top undefeated heavyweight prospects will put their unblemished records on the line when they fight in separate bouts on ShoBox: הדור החדש יום שישי, יולי 12 live on SHOWTIME from Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Wash.



Top American heavyweight prospect ג'רמיין פרנקלין returns for his second consecutive test of 2018 ב ShoBox against the streaking Jerry Forrest in the 10-round headliner. בהתקף-השתתפות שיתוף, undefeated Swedish heavyweight and top-10 ranked contender אוטו וולין will battle former world title challenger BJ פלורס in a 10-round clash on the seventh ShoBox משדר של 2019.



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



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



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



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



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



The 25-year-old Franklin (18-0, 13 קוס), from Saginaw, מישיגן., is a former amateur standout and a 2014 אלופת כפפות הזהב הלאומית. A likely candidate to represent the U.S. ב 2016 משחקים אולימפיים, Franklin turned down the opportunity to compete for a spot on the team and instead chose to begin his professional career in 2015. Widely regarded as the top American heavyweight prospect, Franklin has built his undefeated record with relative ease since turning pro, knocking out nine of his first 10 professional opponents. Franklin made his SHOWTIME debut in the co-featured bout of the Claressa Shields vs. Christina Hammer event in April, earning a unanimous decision over former No. 1-מדורגת ארה"ב. ריידל בוקר החובב.



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



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



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



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



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



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



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

BROOKLYN (מאי 19, 2019) – WBC אלוף העולם במשקל כבד דאונטיי “מפציץ הברונזה” ויילדר delivered the 40ה knockout of his career in devastating fashion Saturday night, sending mandatory challenger דומיניק “צרות” BREAZEALEflat on his back with a trademark right hand in front of a raucous crowd at Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™, באירוע שהציג אלופי הפרמייר באגרוף. Successfully defending his belt for the ninth time, Wilder joins illustrious company alongside Hall of Famers Joe Louis, מוחמד עלי, Mike Tyson and more and becomes the 10th fighter in history to make nine or more consecutive successful heavyweight title defenses. Watch HERE: https://s.sho.com/2Hp0AEh

In the buildup to tonight’s world championship bout, ויילדר (41-0-1, 40 קוס) repeatedly promised that the fight would not last long. The towering Tuscaloosa, עלא. native kept his word, scoring the 20ה first round knockout of his career and his 15ה knockdown as heavyweight world champion. BREAZEALE (20-2, 18 קוס) was able to withstand Wilder’s first early onslaught, but could not beat referee Harvey Dock’s 10-count when Wilder connected flush with the most dangerous right hand in boxing later in the opening round.

Everything just came out of me tonight”, סעיד ויילדר. “I know it’s been a big buildup, there’s been a lot of animosity and a lot of words that were said and it just came out of me tonight. That’s what makes boxing so great.

I just told Breazeale I love him and of course I want to see him go home to his family. I know we say some things, but when you can fight a man and then you can hug him and kiss him, I wish the world was like that. We shake hands and we live to see another day and that’s what it’s all about.

As the attention of the heavyweight division turns to what’s next, Wilder insists that a fight with Tyson Fury, the only man he has faced and not defeated, or Anthony Joshua remains on the table and in the works.

I understand what Fury did,” סעיד ויילדר. “When you get dropped on the canvas like that I understand you have to get yourself back together. But the rematch will happen, like all these other fights will happen. The great thing is all these fights rare in discussion. The big fights will happen. I just want you to have patience.

BREAZEALE, whose only two defeats have now come against both Wilder and Joshua, was disappointed he wasn’t allowed to continue the fight.

I think the ref stopped it a little early because I could hear him saying seven and eight, but that’s boxing,” סעיד Breazeale. “He did his job and kept us safe for our next fight.

I got on my feet and had my legs under me. It’s the heavyweight division so there’s going to big shots from guys with power. This was a situation where he landed the big right hand before I did. I thought I was going to come on in the later rounds. I’ll be back and go for the heavyweight title again.

בשיתוף התכונה, WBC אלוף העולם במשקל נוצה גארי ראסל ג'וניור. (30-1, 18 קוס) put on yet another professional display to defend his belt for the fourth time against a valiant Kiko Martinez (39-9-2, 28 קוס). Due to a gash that opened up over Martinez’s left eye, referee Ricky Gonzalez stopped the fight in the fifth round upon the advice of the ringside physician, resulting in a technical knockout.

ראסל, who was fighting for the first time in a year, showed no signs of ring rust and displayed his full skillset including his trademark lightning quick hands. The 30-year-old Capitol Heights, מרילנד. native was dominant from the opening bell and landed on a remarkable 40% של האגרופים כוחו. In an all-action fight with little downtime, Martinez did more than enough to play his part. The Spaniard constantly came forward but Russell continued to target the cut that opened up over his eye after a right hook in the second round. The ringside official called for the stoppage of the fight at 2:52 of round number five.

I did pretty good,” אמר 2008 מתגורר בארה"ב. Olympian Russell to SHOWTIME ringside reporter Jim Gray. “We stayed behind the jab and he couldn’t get past it. We knew that intellect over athleticism would get it done.

We want [אלוף במשקל נוצה WBA] ליאו סנטה קרוז,” Russell continued while wearing a shirt that read ‘Leo Next’. “We want to make this fight happen. The fire is all the way hot on this side of the field. You will get burned. I would love for that fight to happen this year. Let’s make it happen.

It was a good stoppage for a very tough fight,” said the former world champion Martinez. “I’m definitely a visual fighter so the cut made it tough. Gary was in great physical condition and it was a very hard fight.

I’m going to rest a little bit now, but I’ll be back. I thought I had some good moments and had a good division. I think I’ll drop back down to 122-pounds to win a world title there.

בפותח הטלוויזיה, סיכוי בלתי מנוצח חואן Heraldez (16-0-1, 10 קוס) ואלוף עולם לשעבר ארייניס מנדז (25-5-2, 12 קוס) fought to a highly competitive majority draw. Two judges scored the fight 95-95, while a third had Mendez winning 97-93.

Fighting in front of his mentor Floyd Mayweather, לאס וגאס’ Heraldez controlled many of the early rounds by setting the pace and establishing his jab. Heraldez outlanded Mendez 126-108 in total punches and 70-30 in jabs throughout the 10 סיבובים. Falling behind early, מנדז, a seasoned veteran and 2004 Dominican Republic Olympian, used his experience to grow back into the fight. The tempo picked up in the fifth round, as both fighters landed several heavy blows but the momentum shifted towards Mendez. The 32-year-old Mendez, who has fought seven current or former champions, closed out the fight exceptionally strong, winning the final round on all three judges’ כרטיסי ניקוד. Without doing so, Mendez would have lost the fight.


“חשבתי שאני ניצחתי את הקרב,” said a disappointed Mendez. “He didn’t do anything to me. How did he win the fight? If I have to prove I beat him in a rematch, אני אהיה מוכן. I won’t leave it up to the judges.


My speed and my power made it difficult for him. I thought my counterpunching was really good. He tired toward the later rounds and that let me get a little closer to him to get my offense going.

באופן דומה, Heraldez thought he did enough to win the fight which he viewed as a potential coming out party.

I thought I won a close decision,” Heraldez said. “I didn’t think it was a draw. He didn’t do anything that hurt me at any point.

He wasn’t really engaging with me. He was just trying to move around and pick his shots, but it wasn’t anything I wasn’t ready for. I’ll either take the rematch with Mendez or move forward toward my goal of a world title.

Preceding the telecast, SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN featured three undercard attractions streamed live on the SHOWTIME Sports social platforms. A battle between heavyweights רוברט אלפונסו (18-0-1, 8 קוס) ו יאגו Kiladze (26-4-1, 18 קוס) ended in a split-draw after eight rounds of action. While one judge scored the fight 77-75 for Alfonso, another had it 77-75 עבור Kiladze, with the third judge scoring it 76-76, resulting in the draw.

Also entering the ring was 2016 מתגורר בארה"ב. אולימפי גארי אנטואן ראסל (9-0, 9 קוס), the younger brother of the featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr., שנשרMarcos Mojica (16-4-2, 12 קוס) twice to earn a stoppage 2:13 לסיבוב השלישי. Rounding out the action was Brooklyn-native and 2016 האיטי אולימפי ריצ'רדסון היצ'ינס (9-0, 5 קוס), who scored a TKO of Alejandro Munera (4-2-3, 4 קוס) after Munera was knocked down in round three and unable to continue despite making it to the final bell of the round.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Barclays Center:

דאונטיי ויילדר

These fighters always get into great shape and think they have the game plan to beat me. They think they’re going to catch me. It’s not going to work. Nothing this guy has prepared for is going to work.

I hope he brings the best he can bring. This is more than just a boxing match. I’m passionate about what I do. This has been a long time coming for me and Dominic. He asked for this, and he shall receive.

It’s going to be an amazing night for me, and a sad night for him. Being heavyweight champion is a big responsibility. Not everyone is made to be a champion. It’s more than being glamorous or carrying around this prestigious belt.

I’ve trained harder than I’ve ever trained. He’s got me inspired like I was against Bermane Stiverne. I want to hurt Breazeale so bad. I’m going to keep my composure until that time comes Saturday night.

I don’t believe Breazeale when he speaks. I’ve been in this game for a very long time. Someone like him is not going to beat me. The closest he’s going to get to this belt is in his dreams.

My whole team has been with me since day one. We started together and we’re going to go all the way together. It’s been an amazing run for me. I started my career at the very bottom and worked all the way to this point.

We never rushed anything. Even in the Olympics, I was still learning on the job. We trained to be a long term champion, not a short term champion, and we accomplished that. I’m appreciative for how far I’ve come and for everything that’s come with it. Hard work pays off.

My actions are going to speak louder than my words. I am the best. I am the chosen one. הוא יכול להגיד מה שהוא רוצה. It’s going to be a great fight for as long as it lasts. I’m going to bring the pain. במוצאי שבת, everyone is in for a treat.

דומיניק בריזיל

“אני סופר מתרגש למאבק הזה. Virgil Hunter and myself had a great camp. It was truly one of the best of my life. I’m mentally focused and physically right.

I’m excited to be back and get another knockout win. Getting that WBC belt is everything to me. This is my Super Bowl.

Victory for me on Saturday is everything. Wilder doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into. He’s in for a fight. He better be confident in his abilities, because Saturday night, he’s going to be in the toughest fight of his life.

I’m going to beat Deontay so bad that he’s not going to ever want to lace up the gloves again. Sports are 80% mental. When I’m done with him, the mental aspect is going to be beat out of him.

I’m going to put on another explosive performance. I’ve been dreaming for the last year about hearing ‘and the new.It’s a beautiful thing and I can’t wait to make it come true and have my hand raised.

Wilder hasn’t developed at all during his career. He looks the same as he did in the amateurs. He needs to talk himself up to make himself feel confident.

I’m too mentally in-tune to be focused on what someone says. When I go into a fight I don’t worry about what my opponent can do, but about what I want to do and how I can execute.

None of Deontay’s words affect me at all. He’s going to keep barking and I’m just going to keep waiting. I’m going to quiet him down on Saturday night.

גארי ראסל ג'וניור.

I’m hungry and ready. Anyone that I step in the ring with is standing in the way of my goals. Anyone trying to stop me, is in a dangerous position.

We’re going to try to control the pace of the fight with my jab. I don’t think he’s going to get past the jab. He’s going to try to get rough and physical. My plan is to make the adjustments that I need to get this win.

It’s always a family affair with the Russells. We move as a unit and we excel as a unit. My family is where I pull all my energy from. It’s never a distraction. They give me the fuel I need.

In boxing you need to have full trust and belief in your coach. I couldn’t imagine a better fit than having my dad. Even if he gives instructions that might not be 100% right in my eyes, I know that it’s going to be the best thing for me.

No one in this division wants to step in the ring with me. They know the speed and power and abilities that I bring every time I step into the ring.

Deontay and I were on the same Olympic team, plus Dominic and my little brother Gary Antuanne Russell were also U.S. אולימפיים. It makes for an amazing card on Saturday night.

KIKO MARTINEZ

I come to fight and get that title. I had a very smooth training camp and feel 100 percent physically.

I think my experience is superior. He thinks I’m only a pressure fighter, but he hasn’t seen me box the way I’m going to box him on Saturday.

This is the biggest opportunity of my life. To be on this platform and be able to fight for the championship is very special. I’m going to make the most of it.

I hope that Russell doesn’t take me lightly because I still have a lot of abilities left. It’s going to be a great fight for as long as it lasts.

JUAN HERALDEZ

Camp went great and I can’t wait to put on a show. I’m going to let everyone in this division know that I’m coming for them. I’m going to seize the moment and take full advantage of it.

I feel strong and I’m ready to fight. I’m just counting down the minutes until I can step into the ring. It’s a lot of excitement and I’m going to let it all out Saturday.

I plan to win in spectacular fashion on Saturday. I’m going to show everyone that I’m a player at 140-pounds and I’m ready for anyone they can put in front of me.

I’m not planning to get hit. I’m going to out box him and stick and move. He’s not going to be able to touch me. If the opportunity for a knockout comes, I’ll take it.

ארייניס מנדז

“אני מאוד מתרגש על ההזדמנות הזאת. I had a great training camp and on Saturday night you’re going to see a show at Barclays Center.

I love boxing and I love this opportunity that I have on Saturday night. I’m going to show my passion for the sport during this fight. I feel great physically and just cannot wait to get into the ring.

A win on Saturday night opens the door for me. People are going to start seeing me as one of the best fighters from the Dominican Republic.

“זה הולך להיות קרב טוב. I have the speed and skills to out box him. We’re both very smart fighters. I believe I’m the better fighter and it will show on Saturday night.

סטפן אספינוזה, President Sports and Event Programming, Showtime Networks Inc.

The heavyweight division is exciting again and a lot of that has to do with Deontay Wilder. It’s also been helped by SHOWTIME and our commitment to the division. No other network has been more committed or invested more in the heavyweights than SHOWTIME has and we’re proud of that.

We’re also proud that several of the fighters on this card have fought frequently on SHOWTIME. Deontay will make his 12ה appearance and Gary will make his 11th. ויילדר, Russell and Dominic all launched their careers on ShoBox, like so many other great fighters.

When you get two guys together for a long-awaited grudge match, there’s not a lot that needs to be said. Deontay is the longest-reigning heavyweight champion in the sport. This would be the ninth defense for him, which is something that only nine other heavyweights have done in boxing history.

Deonay had two of the most exciting heavyweight fights in recent history last year. As for Dominic, he’s a big strong experienced guy who’s been on the world stage before. He has fought for a world title and he’s coming off of three consecutive wins. He has plenty of power and we saw that in his last fight against Carlos Negron that he can change the fight in one punch.

ראט YORMARK, CEO of BSE Global

The heavyweight division has been the talk of the sports world for months, and it’s fitting that the world champion will defend his title right here in Brooklyn in one of the biggest fights in the sport this year.

“דאונטיי, I’ve said for a long time that this is your home away from home and we can’t wait to have you back. You have a big opponent this week in Dominic Breazeale. Dominic you’ve already made two appearances in our ring and we know the fans are looking forward to another great show.

HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION DEONTAY WILDER LOOKS TO STEP INTO PANTHEON OF ALL-TIME HEAVYWEIGHT GREATS


American Champion Wilder Fights To Join
Hall Of Fame Heavyweights Joe Louis, מוחמד עלי, Mike Tyson And More As Only The 10ה Heavyweight In History With Nine Or More Successful Consecutive Title Defenses

יום שבת, מאי 18 Against Top Contender Dominic Breazeale Live on SHOWTIME® מהמרכז ברקליס בברוקלין & שהוצג על ידי
אלופי אגרוף לראש הממשלה,

BROOKLYN (מאי 8, 2019) – When WBC Heavyweight World Champion דאונטיי “מפציץ הברונזה” ויילדר defends his title against mandatory challenger דומיניק “צרות” BREAZEALE ביום שבת, מאי 18, he will not only seek to continue his run as the only American heavyweight champion, but also cement himself into the historic company of heavyweight legends that came before him.

In an event taking place live on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™, Wilder will attempt to defend his WBC title for the ninth time since first capturing the belt in January 2015. Wilder’s triumph marked the return of heavyweight prizefighting in America and the end of an eight-year drought without an American heavyweight world champion, the longest in the history of the sport.

There has been a long line of great American heavyweight champions who represented our country with pride, strength and honor in the ring,” סעיד ויילדר. “I take the responsibility very seriously to pick up where they left off and continue to show every young fighter who looks up to me, that they one day can be the heavyweight champion of the world.

I’m a champion of the world, but I represent for the entire country and everyone in it,” סעיד ויילדר. “I’ve fought challengers from all around the world, knowing in my mind how important it was to keep this title in the U.S.

If successful on May 18, Wilder will become just the 10ה fighter in the more than 135-year history of heavyweight boxing to make nine or more consecutive successful heavyweight title defenses. Wilder would join an impressive list of Hall of Famers who dominated the sport during their reignTommy Burns, ג'ו לואיס, ג'ו פרייזר, מוחמד עלי, לארי הולמס, מייק טייסון, לנוקס לואיס, Vitali Klitschko and future Hall of Famer Wladimir Klitschko. *הערה: number of title defenses listed beloב


Fighters like Jack Johnson, ג'ו לואיס, מוחמד עלי, Mike Tyson and more have paved the way for me,” סעיד ויילדר. “Now I’m going to take what they started and make sure that the heavyweight world championship stays in America for a long time.

Wilder’s successes in the ring have seen him skyrocket toward the kind of recognition that heavyweight champions have garnered throughout history. ב 2018 he was ranked 34 on ESPN’sWorld Fame 100list, the top spot of any boxer in the world.

Being the heavyweight champion and holding that title on the American sports landscape is a huge deal,” סעיד ויילדר. “There was a time where that person was as well-known as the president. I’m going to keep leaving a path of destruction inside the ring, so that everyone knows I am the one name and one face of the heavyweight division.

List of fighters with nine consecutive heavyweight title defenses (listed chronologically):
1.) Tommy Burns (11)
2.) ג'ו לואיס (25)
3.) ג'ו פרייזר (nine)
4.) מוחמד עלי (nine in first run, 10 in second reign)
5.) לארי הולמס (20)
6.) מייק טייסון (nine in first run)
7.) לנוקס לואיס (nine in second run)
8.) ויטלי Klitschko (11 in second run)
9.) ולדימיר Klitschko (18 in second run)
