“Jermall
Charlo is a can’t miss attraction and one of the brightest stars in
boxing,” said Tom Brown, פּרעזידענט פון טגב פּראָמאָטיאָנס. “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, און דעצעמבער 7 וועט זיין ניט אַנדערש,” said Stephen
Espinoza, פּרעזידענט, ספורט & געשעעניש פּראָגראַממינג, שאָוטיים נעטוואָרקס ינק.
“Jermall is the complete package – גיכקייַט, מאַכט, athleticism and elite
talent – so 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 קאָס) is one of the most exciting young champions in the sport. He and
his twin brother, דזשערמעלל, 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, דזשערמעלל, 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,” האט טשאַרלאָ. “He likes to
come straight forward with that ‘Mexican’ סטיל. 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 30טה fight and I’m about to
turn 30.”
האָגאַן (28-2-1, 7 קאָס) 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, אויסטראַליע, 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.”
