HOUSTON, TEXAS – Февруари 4, 2020 – Бившият световен шампион Guillermo Rigondeaux will seek to become a three-time, two-division world champion when he moves down to bantamweight to challenge former champion Liborio Solis for the vacant WBA title live on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Февруари 8 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from PPL Center in Allentown, Татко.



“I’m trying to make history by winning a third world title in a second weight class, while also matching my two [Olympic] Gold Medals,” said Rigondeaux, who will fight at bantamweight for the first time in his career. “I want to make a statement and solidify my legacy as one of the best Cuban fighters ever. I want the boxing world to be talking about me, as I seek to become a world champion once again. Февруари 8 will be a special day for me and my family.



“I know at super bantamweight I am a force to be reckoned with. Now that I’m moving down to bantamweight, I feel stronger and I’m getting the most out of my skills. The bantamweight and super bantamweight divisions are filled with great fighters to test myself against. It’s a very exciting time and I am training very hard for each opportunity that is granted to me.”



This will be Rigondeaux’s second straight fight working with the renowned head trainer Ronnie Shields, and conducting training camp at Shields’ gym in Houston.



“Ronnie and I are working very hard and smart,” said Rigondeaux. “We have put together a great game plan that we are going to execute on fight night. All of my tools are getting sharpened up and everyone will see that the hard work we’ve put in will pay off. Ronnie is a great coach and I’ll be fighting with something to prove on fight night.”



“He is very focused, and one of the hardest workers in the gym,- каза Шийлдс. “Rigondeaux is so determined to become a world champion once again. He comes to camp every single day with that goal, and I don’t see any way he doesn’t achieve it.”



Rigondeaux is coming off an exciting knockout win over former world champion Julio Ceja last June. The Guantanamo, Cuba native will look to capture his next world title when he faces Solis, a former super flyweight world champion for the vacant WBA belt.



“Solis is a good opponent and a worthy challenger, but I am ready to reclaim my status as a world champion,” said Rigondeaux. “I’m going to show people why I am one of the best boxers of my generation.



“This is a very big deal for me. For years I was one of the best fighters in the world, ако не, the best fighter in the world. When you’re a champion, you only fight the top opponents and those are the type of fights I want. I’m going to start another long reign as champion beginning February 8.”

UNDEFEATED SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT MALIK HAWKINS TO FACE KEITH HUNTER FRIDAY, Февруари 28 В Основно събитие на SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION TRIPLE-HEADER

Top Mayweather Promotions Prospects Hawkins, Ричардсън Hitchins, and Kevin Newman II Featured in Separate Bouts Live on SHOWTIME® From Sam’s Town Live in Las Vegas



TICKETS ON SALE TOMORROW!



LAS VEGAS - януари 30, 2020 – Undefeated super lightweight prospect Malik Hawkins returns to the ring to make his ShoBox: Новото поколениеseries debut as part of a three-fight telecast when he faces fellow undefeated Vegas native Keith Hunter in the main event that is scheduled for 10 rounds on Friday, Февруари 28 живеят на SHOWTIME (10:45 p.m. ET / PT) от Sam’s Town Live в Лас Вегас.



Two other Mayweather Promotions’ top prospects will face tough challenges, като 2016 Олимпиец Ричардсън Hitchins (10-0, 5 Нокаута) and once-beaten Las Vegas native Kevin Newman II (11-1-1, 6 Нокаута) both return for their second ShoBox appearances fighting in separate bouts. Хичинс, the undefeated super lightweight prospect, will take on Rhode Island’s Nick DeLomba (16-2, 5Нокаута) в 10-кръг мач, while Newman will seek his fifth consecutive victory when he steps in the ring with undefeated Калвин Хендерсън (12-0-1, 8 Нокаута) в 10-кръг супер средна категория мач.


Tickets for the Mayweather Promotions’ Sin City Showdown go on sale Friday, Януари 31 при 12 p.m. PT, започне в $25 and can be purchased by visiting: https://mayweatherpromotions.com/events/.



“As we kickstart another year, I’m confident that we will continue to exceed expectations and bring top tier events to the sports and entertainment world,” says Leonard Ellerbe, Главен изпълнителен директор на Мейуедър Промоции. “Our first stop of the year is at our home venue for club shows and a stacked Friday night ShoBox карта. These prospects are looking to put on impressive performances to start their year off. They’re putting in the work to take their fight game to the next level, и на февруари 28 we will see them challenge themselves against tough opponents at Sam’s Town Live and live on SHOWTIME.”



Hawkins, (18-0, 11 Нокаута) known as “Ice Man” in the ring, fights out of Baltimore, Md., and is coming off the heels of two back-to-back knockout victories. His most recent came via fifth-round stoppage against Darwin Price on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN on the Davis vs. Gamboa undercard on December 28. The 24-year-old Hawkins is trained by the highly touted Upton Gym coaches’ trio of Calvin Ford, Kenny Price, and Russ Blakey. Hawkins turned professional in 2014 with a knockout victory, which foreshadowed what was to come from the young fighter. Като аматьор, Hawkins amassed an impressive 160-15 record while competing in the 2012 и 2013 National Championships and won a bronze medal in the 2012 Jr. Олимпиада. Best known for his gritty and powerful fighting style, Hawkins joined the Mayweather Promotions team in late 2019 with a knockout decision win over Al Rivera at Cannery Casino & хотел.



“It feels great to headline my first ShoBox събитие,” says Hawkins. “This is something I wanted to do since I was a kid. A win in this fight and the exposure fighting on a platform like SHOWTIME only brings more recognition to my talent and skills and bigger and better opportunities. I have more than myself to fight for. I have the kids who look up to me at Upton Gym. I fight for them they’re my real motivation.



“I can’t say much about my opponent. I know he’s also undefeated. He is a durable opponent and he’s coming to fight, but if you watched my last fight you know I come in to take my opponents 0.”



Twenty-seven-year-old Keith Hunter (11-0, 7Нокаута) comes from a fighting background. He’s the younger brother of heavyweight contender Michael Hunter, and his father was a well-respected boxer who sparred with Mike Tyson for many years before his tragic death. Hunter didn’t have a long amateur career, electing to turn professional after just 28 битки



“I feel confident coming into this fight,"Каза Hunter. “My last two bouts, I defeated Mayweather fighters and I’m confident with the insight I have. We’re both 6-feet tall, but he’s missing components as a fighter. He has trouble fighting on the outside. He is more comfortable on the inside. I feel I’m the better more skilled fighter going into the fight.



“Anytime I get to fight on a big stage like SHOWTIME, I invest a piece of my heart and soul, so hopefully my fans and anyone who watches my fight will see a genuine kid fighting for legacy and not money. This opportunity will help me connect with more people and I’m forever thankful for it.”



Хичинс (9-0, 5 Нокаута), от Бруклин, is a former two-time Golden Gloves champion who represented his parents’ home country of Haiti in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games. 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 10 professional fights in his hometown, Hitchins will travel to Las Vegas for a second time looking for a statement win in his follow-up ShoBoxвид.



I’m hungrier than ever,- каза Хичинс. “I see my brother Tank winning and prospering and I feel that same energy around me when I’m training for hours in the gym and perfecting my craft. I’m made to be great and I have the right people around me who keep my focus, keep me training at the highest level, and push me outside my comfort zone to be victorious. That’s what will show on fight night when I’m inside the ring.”



“Nice” Nick DeLomba (16-2, 5Нокаута), борба от Кранстън, RI, is coming off a five-fight win streak with three out of five wins by knockout. He’s best known for his slickness and elusiveness in the ring and looks to make a powerful statement in foreign territory as he makes his Las Vegas and ShoBox debuts next month.



“What a great opportunity this is to fight on SHOWTIME,” said DeLomba. “I’ve been fighting my way up to this point and now it’s about showing the world who I am and growing my brand. That’s what I plan on doing come fight night. I take every fight and lesson with me to the gym and train harder than the day before and push myself to really be the best fighter. I know I’m coming in as the underdog, but it’s only going to make me want the win more and to be that guy who gives Hitchins his first defeat.”.



Las Vegas’ own Kevin Newman (11-1, 6Нокаута) started boxing when he was nine-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 super middleweight to his 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 against Azamat Umarzoda. Newman returns to ShoBox having avenged the only loss of his career against Mark Anthony Hernandez. Newman defeated Hernandez on November 1 at Sam’s Town Live, redeeming himself from their first matchup in 2017 on the Mayweather vs. McGregor undercard. Newman remains humble and hungry as he climbs the ranks in the super middleweight division.



“It’s always good to get that weight off your shoulders,” said Newman of his recent victory over Hernandez. “I work hard day in and day out to be the best me and I follow God’s plan. I understand that there’s more for me on my journey now and I’m past that and I’m looking to the future on February 28.



“I’ve seen Kalvin fight. There isn’t anything particular that stands out about him. I’ve been in the ring with top tier guys as an amateur and a professional and I have fought tougher opponents. I’m always the smarter opponent.



“Fighting on SHOWTIME does a lot for me. It’s not about the win, it’s about как аз печеля. I’m going to put on another dominant performance, something that will set me apart from the rest, and I’m going to take advantage of every opportunity that continues to come my way.



Originally from Fayetteville, Ark., but fighting out of Fort Worth, Tx., Henderson (12-0-1, 8 Нокаута) doesn’t have a typical background for a professional fighter. He’s a University of Arkansas alumni who pursued a career in music when he was awarded a scholarship as a percussionist. He never lost sight of boxing since he was first introduced at 15 years old and quickly after graduating in 2012, he shifted his focus back to boxing. Henderson has quickly established himself as one of the faster rising super middleweights in the division and welcomes the challenge to continue his pursuit in becoming a world class boxer.



“Fighting in other people’s backyard is not a big deal,” says Henderson. “There’s no pressure on me to do anything. I take care of business and I go home. I will say that it brings a different motivating factor. It forces me to train harder and it affects my game plan because we can’t leave the rounds too close.



“I’m excited to get in the ring and execute my game plan in front of wide audience. I want to show the world what me and my team already know. I make it hot in the ring. That’s why they call me, ‘Hot Sauce’.”

RISING LIGHTWEIGHT PROSPECT THOMAS MATTICE TO FACE ISAAC CRUZ GONZALEZ IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: НОВОТО ПОКОЛЕНИЕ ПЕТЪК, Февруари 14 На живо по SHOWTIME®

Four-Fight Card Also Features Undefeated Prospects Raeese Aleem, Montana Love And Derrick Colemon Jr. In Toughest Tests Of Their Careers



НЮ ЙОРК - Януари 22, 2020 – Rising lightweight prospect Thomas Mattice will face hard-hitting Isaac Cruz Gonzalez in the 10-round main event of ShoBox: Новото поколение в петък, Февруари 14 live on SHOWTIME from 2300 Arena във Филаделфия.



The four-fight telecast is the third of four ShoBox presentations over six weeks showcasing some of boxing’s brightest young prospects in their toughest tests to date, including super lightweight prospect Shohjahon Ergashev and super middleweight Vladimir Shishkin, who were victorious on January 17. На January 31, featherweight Ruben Villa and welterweight Taras Shelestyuk will be tested and on February 28, super lightweight Malik Hawkins and welterweight Richardson Hitchins face tough opposition.



In the co-featured bout on February 14, undefeated super bantamweight Raeese Aleem (15-0, 9 Нокаута), на Las Vegas, ще поемеShoBox veteran and San Antonio native Adam Lopez (19-3-2, 9 Нокаута) in an eight-round 122-pound bout. In a matchup of undefeated junior welterweights, Cleveland’s Montana Love (12-0-1, 6 Нокаута) се връща към ShoBox in an eight-round showdown with New Orleans’ Jerrico Walton (16-0, 7 Нокаута). При откриването схватката на телевизията, undefeated junior middleweights Derrick Colemon Jr. (11-0, 8 Нокаута), Детройт, and Joseph Jackson (15-0, 12 Нокаута), на Северна Каролина, will square off in an eight-round 154-pound bout.



Билети за събитието, which is promoted by GH3 Promotions and King’s Promotions are $100, $75 и $50 и да бъдат закупени вwww.2300arena.com



Cleveland’s Mattice (15-1-1, 11 Нокаута) is coming off his most significant win to date, an eight-round TKO of previously undefeated Michael Dutchover last September on ShoBox. The fight was stopped due to a deep gash on Dutchover caused by a clean right hand from Mattice. The judges’ scorecards were split at the time of the stoppage. Mattice will be making his sixth start on the prospect developmental series, including a close loss to Will Madera in 2019, a split decision win and a split draw with Zhora Hamazaryan in 2018, and a knockout of Rolando Chinea. The 29-year-old hopes a convincing win over the top-10 ranked Gonzalez will move him closer to a world title shot.



“A win would be huge for my career and put me in a great position,” Mattice said. “It would put me in the conversation with the top dogs of the division. I have to put on a great performance and let all those top fighters know that I’m here and ready to fight anyone. It’s a must-win for me, but it’s a big fight for both of us. He is ranked No. 7 by the IBF so this has the feel of a big fight. I think a win would put me in the top-10.”



Gonzalez (18-1-1, 14 Нокаута), от Мексико Сити, е вкарал нокаути в 11 на неговата последна 14 fights since suffering only loss of his career in just his sixth professional fight. The 22-year-old owns a career-best knockout of former interim world title challenger Jose Felix Jr. в 2018. Currently ranked No. 7 от IBF в 135 паунда, Gonzalez made his U.S. debut in December on the non-televised undercard of the Jermall Charlo vs. Dennis Hogan event at Barclays Center in Brooklyn last December.



“I am excited to be fighting in the United States and I am thrilled for my fight to be shown on SHOWTIME,” said Gonzalea. “So many fighters started their career on ShoBox and have become World Champions.”



Aleem compiled a 65-10 record as an amateur and was a five-time Golden Gloves State Champion in Michigan. He finished third at the National Golden Gloves in 2010 и 2011 преди да се обърне професионалист в 2011. The 29-year-old recently relocated his training camp to Las Vegas, where he has sparred with Jessie Magdaleno, Nonito Donaire and Jhack Tepora. Aleem, who is trained by Terry Markowski, will face the toughest test of his career in the veteran Lopez.



“All my hard work is paying off and now I get to show it on the big stage,” Aleem said. “I am looking forward to earning new fans and staying on a roll. I know Lopez is a really tough fighter with something to prove. He’s been here before so I know he’s ready for the challenge. This is a steppingstone to ultimately get where I want to be, and that’s fighting for a world title, bigger paydays and more exposure. В края на краищата, I don’t just want to win, I want to dominate. Winning isn’t good enough – I also have to look good while doing it.”



Lopez was an accomplished amateur who won six national titles and held a No. 1 класиране, but he has had an up and down career as a pro. The 29-year-old started his career with 15 straight victories yet he has suffered a few setbacks as his level of opposition has dramatically increased. Lopez was undefeated and one win away from challenging for a world championship before losing to current unified 122-pound champion Daniel Roman in a title eliminator in 2017 на SHOWTIME. Lopez, who will break his own record ofShoBox appearances when he steps into the ring for the eighth time, will face his sixth undefeated opponent on the series as he looks to get his career back on track.



“Aleem is a pretty good fighter, but I think my experience is going to be a factor,” Lopez said. “He hasn’t fought top-tier guys with the exception of Marcus Bates. I have been in the big fights and this is his first time doing this. I am on a three-fight winning streak and I have rededicated myself to the sport. I have a new trainer, Chato Martinez, and a whole new camp. I can’t wait to show that I am back.”



The flashy Love was an accomplished amateur who compiled a 174-13 рекорд. The 25-year-old southpaw will return for his third test on ShoBox as he seeks a convincing victory. In his first bout on the series, he won a majority decision over Samuel Teah in 2018 and followed that up with a split draw a few months later against Kenneth Sims Jr. Обичам, who has sparred with Adrien Broner and Robert Easter Jr., will face what should be his most dangerous opponent in the fellow-undefeated Walton.



“Walton is a decent fighter, but I feel he is still green and he doesn’t have that much experience,” Love said. “I know he is tough, but I am taking this to the next level. He’s just a stepping stone. It’s exciting to fight under the bright lights. Some guys fold, but I was made for this. I am not looking past him, but this will take my career to the next level. We are both undefeated and not many guys take risks like this, but this shows I am a true fighter. My name is MontanaToo Pretty Loveand I am fighting on Valentine’s Day, so I will be giving a lot of love out on February 14.”



The 29-year-old Walton was born and raised in New Orleans, where he rescued his mother and sister from the flood waters of Hurricane Katrina when he was just 13 възраст. Left homeless, the family relocated to Houston, where Walton competed as an amateur. Walton turned professional in 2014 and has been perfect through his first 16 битки, including a career-best win over former super bantamweight world champion Victor Terrazas in 2019. The boxer-puncher, who is trained by Bobby Benton and fought six times last year, will face the first undefeated opponent of his career in Love.



“I have seen Montana fight before. I know he is flashy in the Adrien Broner mode, but other than that I do not know too much about him,” Walton said. “This opportunity is a blessing. The world is going to get to see me and hear my story. I’m from New Orleans and it was a struggle for me growing up, so this is a great opportunity. I never in a million years thought that I would be in this position. I just need to seize the moment and get the victory.”



Просто 20 възраст, Colemon started boxing at the age of 4 and honed his craft at the original Kronk Gym under Emanuel Steward until his passing in 2012. Colemon had a 135-fight amateur career and was a four-time national amateur champion in the junior division. He turned professional when he was 18 years old and has eight knockouts in his first 11 професионални мача. Colemon, who is trained by Marlon Thomas, will face by far the toughest test of his career in Jackson, a fellow undefeated yet untested prospect.



“I am physically and mentally prepared more than I ever have been,” Colemon said. “I know Jackson is undefeated and tough, so I know I’m in for a big test. This is the next step in my career, and I feel that I will be not only the next great champion that has fought onShoBox, but the next great fighter out of Detroit. I am ready to show the world my talents. Февруари 14 will put my name in the minds of boxing fans all over the world.”



The 31-year-old Jackson got a late start as a professional yet has been active, including three fights in 2019 and three in 2018. Той има 12 Нокаута в 15 битки, including knockouts in seven of his last eight bouts. The Greensboro native will fight outside of North Carolina for the first time in his career when he takes on the undefeated Colemon.



“I know Colemon is tough, and he had a long amateur career,” Jackson said. “He will come to fight, but I prepare for anything. That is what this sport is all about. I am looking forward to showcasing my talent to the world.”



Бари Томпкинс ще извика екшъна от ринга заедно с историка на бокса Стив Фардъти и бившия световен шампион Раул Маркес, служещи като експертни анализатори. Изпълнителният продуцент е Gordon Hall с Ричард Gaughan производство и Rick Phillips режисура.

DANNY GARCIA TRAINING CAMP QUOTES

Two-Division World Champion Garcia Prepares for WBC Welterweight Title Eliminator Against Hard-Hitting Ivan Redkach Saturday, Януари 25 Живей SHOWTIME® от Barclays Center в Бруклин

PHILADELPHIA (Януари 15, 2020) – Две разделение световен шампион Danny “Swift” Garcia is eager for another crack at returning to the championship ranks, but knows that he can’t look past the hard-hitting Клозет “Грозни” REDK when they face off in a WBC Welterweight Title Eliminator Saturday, Януари 25 живеят на SHOWTIME от Barclays Center, в дома на Бруклин Бокс ™, in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

“Просто го взимам по една битка в даден момент,” Саид Garcia. “I’ve been that way my whole career. I know that you can’t overlook anyone. I’m totally locked in on Ivan, and that’s it.

We’re just working hard and working smart. We’re making the necessary adjustments for Redkach specifically, but this is just another fighter in front of us. I noticed that he’s really hungry. He obviously wants to win, and he’s coming off of three solid victories. He has his confidence back now. I just have to be ready for whatever he brings to the table on January 25.

Redkach is coming off a career-best victory in June, when he knocked out former two-division champion Devon Alexander in his first fight campaigning at welterweight. It was Redkach’s third straight victory since losing to John Molina Jr. in a memorable 2017 firefight that saw both men hit the canvas.

I caught some highlights of his fight against Devon, but not the whole fight,” Саид Garcia. “I saw the full Molina fight though, and I know what I’m up against. Molina caught him, but before that, Ivan was doing well. He just got careless. So I just have to be on my A-game and make no mistakes.

Garcia’s last outing was a victory in April over veteran contender Adrian Granados that was notable in that Garcia flashed impressive power in becoming the first person to ever knock out the durable Granados.

I feel like my new conditioning coach has really been able to help me with different kinds of strength training,” Саид Garcia. “We’re hitting different muscle groups and it definitely showed against Granados.

With his return to Barclays Center on January 25, Garcia makes his eighth headlining appearance at the venue, максимума от всеки боец. Garcia also holds the arena’s single event boxing attendance record, за неговия 2017 welterweight title unification showdown against Keith Thurman. The Philadelphia-native has made a boxing home just a couple of hours up I-95 from his hometown, starting with headlining the venue’s first boxing event in 2012.

It’s just a great atmosphere in Brooklyn and at Barclays Center,” Саид Garcia. “The fans there have gotten to know me really well, and all my fans in Philly can make the quick drive up. They love to watch me fight there and they know when Danny Garcia comes to New York, it’s going to be a great night of boxing.

With a win in this title eliminator, Garcia would put himself in line for the WBC welterweight title held by unified champion Errol Spence Jr. Garcia has also been rumored as a possible next opponent for WBA Welterweight Champion Manny Pacquiao. If one of those two opponents are next for Garcia, he is confident in his abilities to become world champion again.

I feel like my style is dangerous for both Spence and Pacquiao,” Саид Garcia. “For Errol, I see he likes to stand in front of his opponents and he isn’t the hardest guy to hit. With Manny, I feel like my counter punching and style would also be hard for him. Така, I like my chances against both of them.

Билети за събитието, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and DSG Promotions, are on-sale now and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com и barclayscenter.com. Билети и могат да бъдат закупени от касата на American Express в Barclays Center. Група намаления са възможни, като се обадите 844-BKLYN-GP.

ATLANTIC CITY – January 11, 2020 – Claressa Shields made history yet again by claiming the WBC and WBO 154-pound world championships with a dominating unanimous decision over Ivana Habazin Friday on SHOWTIME from Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City.

Шийлдс стана най-бързият боец ​​в историята, мъж или жена, да спечели световни титли в три различни тегловни категории, surpassing the record of Vasiliy Lomachenko and Kosei Tanaka, които и двамата постигнаха подвига в 12 битки. The near-shutout was scored 99-89, 100-90, 100-89. 

Шийлдс (10-0, 2 Нокаута) надви Хабазин от звънеца на откриването, използвайки силен удар и постоянна диета от удари в тялото, които оставиха хърватия предимно в отбранителен режим през 10-рундовата битка. В шестия кръг, a series of body shots forced Habazin to take a knee in the first knockdown of her career. It was also the first knockdown for the two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and undisputed middleweight world champion in her professional career.

Following the knockdown, Habazin continued forward but did so without throwing many punches. Habazin (20-4, 7 Нокаута) threw just 285 в сравнение с 516 for Shields, who also connected on 38 percent of her power shots compared to just 18 percent for Habazin.

В съвместно черта схватката, welterweight sensation Jaron Ennis scored his 15тата consecutive knockout with a dominating fourth round TKO over the durable Bakhtiyar Eyubov.

The switch-hitting Philadelphia native came out with a blistering pace in the first, switching from southpaw in the opening minute while displaying his signature power and hand speed. An onslaught of perfectly timed punches floored the normally durable Eyubov for the first time in his career midway through the opening round. Eyubov (14-1-2, 12 Нокаута) got up but was dropped against just 20 seconds later as the torrid pace continued. Eyubov survived the round and Ennis (25-0, 23 Нокаута) took his foot off the gas a bit in the second, but the unbeaten welterweight still landed at will against Eyubov, who continued to press forward.

Prior to the fourth round, Commissioner Larry Hazzard warned Eyubov that he would stop the fight if he didn’t see improvement. With Eyubov still pressing forward but eating dozens of punches, referee Earl Brown stepped in to stop the fight at :34 at the instructions of the Hazzard.

Ennis now has 23 нокаута в 25 битки и 13 knockdowns over his last six fights. Through four rounds the incredibly effective Ennis landed 47 percent of his power shots.

“We knew he was coming to fight and bring pressure so we mixed it up,” Ennis said. “He was a good fighter but he wasn’t really that strong. I was getting hit a little too much but that’s how we did it to get the knockout.

“We were just setting him up for power shots. I just had to calm down, that’s all. I was too hyped. Once I calmed down and got into my rhythm that was it.

“He was taking a lot of punishment. He definitely was a great fighter though. I appreciate him taking the fight because a lot of guys don’t want to fight me.”

With another dominating performance, Ennis now sets his sights on the upper echelon of one of boxing’s deepest and most exciting divisions.

“We have been wanting all the guys,” Ennis said. “They keep running. They can’t run no more. I’m right here.”

При откриването схватката на телевизията, IBF Super Middleweight World Champion Elin Cederroos edged WBA champion Alicia Napoleon Espinosa to unify the super middleweight division in an all-action slugfest scored 95-94 three times.

Cederroos (7-0, 4 Нокаута) was more active from the opening bell, хвърляне 747 total punches over 10 rounds compared to 432 for the slightly more effective Napoleon Espinosa (12-2, 7 Нокаута).  But the difference in the close scorecards was a second round knockdown that Cederroos registered with a perfectly timed check left hook in the closing moments of the second. It was the first knockdown of Napoleon Espinosa’s career and ultimately the deciding factor in the scorecards.

“I’m so happy. I showed that I can box and take a war,” Cederroos said. “But when I relaxed the punches just came. It feels so wonderful. Alicia was a great opponent.”

Napoleon Espinosa was game and hurt the Swedish Cederroos multiple times but she was largely unable to get inside against her taller opponent who consistently landed the bigger punches from a distance.

“I didn’t think I lost. I thought that it was fairly close but I thought I was ahead,” Napoleon Espinosa said. “It is what it is, but I don’t think that I lost this fight.

“I know she was strong, but I wanted a tough fight. I know that Elin is an athlete. I don’t feel that I lost. I feel like it was close.”

Napoleon Espinosa had been hoping that a win would position her for a 2020 fight with Claressa Shields at middleweight with all four of Shields’ 160-pound titles on the line.

“Congrats on the fight with Shields because that was what I was looking forward to,” Napoleon Espinosa said.

The event was promoted by Salita Promotions in association with T-REX BOXING PROMOTIONS.

The Capitol Heights, Maryland native Russell (30-1, 18 Нокаута) has held his WBC Featherweight Title since 2015 when he stopped multiple division champion Jhonny Gonzalez to emphatically capture the belt. The 31-year-old is part of one of boxing’s premier fighting families as he is trained by his father Gary Sr., and trains alongside his younger brothers, unbeaten super lightweight Gary Antuanne and undefeated bantamweight Antonio. Russell most recently stopped former champion Kiko Martinez in May on SHOWTIME after previously defeating then unbeaten challenger Joseph Diaz Jr in 2018 in a hometown defense.

“I’m forced to defend my title against another mandatory challenger and I’m going to show on February 8 why none of the other champions want to face me,” said Russell. “I’m the longest current reigning WBC champion but no one has stepped up to the challenge I present. I’m going to take care of business against a strong opponent and display all my skills like I always do.”

The 27-year-old Nyambayar (11-0, 9 Нокаута) represented his native Mongolia in the 2012 Olympics but now lives in the U.S. and is training out of Las Vegas. Nyambayar ascended up the featherweight rankings after his extensive amateur career with victories over then unbeaten Harmonito Dela Torre and former interim champion Oscar Escandon. Most recently he won his first 12-round decision by defeating former champion Claudio Marrero in January.

“This is going to be an exciting fight for everyone watching on February 8,” said Nyambayar. “Gary Russell Jr. is a great champion who is very talented, but he has the WBC belt and that’s what I want. I’m training hard to win this fight and I will be ready for anything that Russell brings to the ring.”

Rigondeaux(19-1, 13 Нокаута) will look to move down and capture a title in a second weight class in his SHOWTIME debut. Since turning professional in 2009 after one of the best amateur careers in historyRigondeaux has showcased masterful technical skills that made him a unified 122-pound world champion and perennial member of the pound-for-pound list. A two-time Olympic gold medalist for his native CubaRigondeaux made his name with victories over the likes of Nonito Donaire, Rico Ramos and Joseph Agbeko. Most recentlyRigondeaux scored an exciting eighth-round stoppage of former champion Julio Ceja in June.

Born in Venezuela and fighting out of Panama, SolвS (30-5-1, 14 Нокаута) ще направи своя U.S. debut on February 8 while riding a five-fight winning streak. Solвs captured a super flyweight world title in 2013 amidst a 14-bout unbeaten run. He has lost by decision in his two previous attempts at 118-pound title, including a controversial loss to Jamie McDonnell, which he has bounced back from on his current win streak.

Арболеда (15-1, 13 Нокаута) has ripped off five straight victories by stoppage since he suffered the only loss of his career against Recky Dulay in 2017. The 25-year-old Arboleda from Curundu, Panama will be fighting in the U.S. за първи път в кариерата си. He’s coming off a knockout victory over Victor Betancourt on August 24.

The 31-year-old Veléz (29-5-1, 21 Нокаута) has strung together three straight knockout victories since losing to Ryan Garcia in 2018. The Juncos, Puerto Rico resident is coming off a knockout victory over Hector Ruben Ambriz Suarez on July 27 and is looking for another championship opportunity.

CLARESSA SHIELDS SHARES NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION & PREVIEWS UPCOMING TITLE SHOWDOWN AGAINST IVANA HABAZIN FRIDAY, Януари 10

Undisputed Middleweight Champion Shields Battles Habazin for Vacant WBC & WBO 154-Pound Titles Live on SHOWTIME from

Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, N.J.

MIAMI(Януари 2, 2020) – As the calendar flips to a new decade, undisputed middleweight championClaressa Шийлдсshared her New Year’s resolution ahead of her upcoming showdown against former championIvana Habazinfor the vacant WBC and WBO 154-pound titles taking place Friday, Януари 10 live on SHOWTIME from the Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, N.J.

“I really have just one main resolution for the new yearno compromising,- каза Шийлдс. “That goes for both my personal and professional life. I also want to get closer to God and stay undefeated. I was going to say stop cursing also, but that’s just not happening.”

Шийлдс срещу. Habazin will open up the 2020 year of big boxing events, with Shields seeking to become the fastest fighter in boxing history, мъж или жена, to become a three-division world champion.

“I’m very happy to kick off 2020,” said Shields. “Gervonta Davis ended 2019 on SHOWTIME and then the GWOAT brings in the New Year for SHOWTIME in 2020. It’s going to be a great start to the year. I’m coming in with a bang and gunning for the knockout.

“I’m super excited to have Jaron Ennis on the undercard, твърде. За мен, he’s the next Roy Jones Jr. of boxing. He’s slick, he has power, he can box and he’s an all-around dedicated athlete. I look forward to sharing the card with him as a future world champion.”

Shields has trained in Miami with her head coach John David Jackson ahead of her 154-pound debut and has been able to maintain her focus and worked to stay sharp despite the fight’s two postponements.

“I made 154 pounds back in October before the cancellation,- каза Шийлдс. “After our fight was cancelled, I stayed active and only put on about 10 паунда. I’ve been down in Florida for the last six or seven weeks. It’s been hard work. I’ve pushed myself and I’m not taking Habazin lightly. I want the knockout because Ivana talks too much. I’m staying focused on being focused, and not letting anyone throw me off by talking nonsense.

“I don’t eat meat anymore. I haven’t in over three months, so my body is more toned now. I actually have a six-pack already with just a little more weight to lose. I think people are going to be surprised at the 154-pound version of me. I’m going to be very strong and very fast because I’ve basically had five months to prepare and to get ready for her specifically.”

Despite training camp taking her through the many holiday events that are gluttonously celebrated by the masses, Shields has stayed disciplined ahead of her opportunity to make more history.

“Balancing around the holidays is something I’ve been doing for years,- каза Шийлдс. “I saved a lot of money by not going home for Christmas, това е сигурно. But I still spoke with all my family and connected with everyone. I have a very strict diet in camp and I actually trained on Christmas. I consider my diet more of a life plan in general, and I have my days where I’ll splurge, but I stay disciplined.”

Ahead of next week’s event in Atlantic City, Shields plans to unleash and make another statement on her way to another championship-winning performance.

“No matter what she says, this beat down was coming in October,- каза Шийлдс. “All I’m doing is bringing it to Atlantic City. I’m going to knock her out. I’m going to put down a whole different beat down on her because of the level of disrespect she has shown me. I’m not going to let her be disrespectful towards me and I’m going to knock her out to shut her up.”

The event is promoted by Salita Promotions in association with T-REX BOXING PROMOTIONS.

"Това е първият ми път бой в Атланта. Аз съм да дойда тук в продължение на четири или пет години и аз съм бил искат да се бият тук. Атланта винаги показва ме обичат и винаги съм си мислил, че ме биете тук би било голям. Знаех, че трябва голям фен база тук.

"Аз съм сигурен, че Гамбоа гледах последния ми бой. Той просто казва, че не е, за да бъде самонадеян. Знам, че най-малко гледах с глава в тази борба. Ще видим в събота вечер. Той е бил малко самонадеян, така че трябва да го направи заплащане.



"Не мога да кажа дали ще се получи нокаут, но аз съм обучен много трудно и аз съм бил фокусиран върху основната цел, която е да се получи победата. Знам, че Гамбоа е труден противник и той ще го давам всичко по линията. Ако той отива 12 кръга, това няма значение за мен. Търся да направи тази голяма борба за мен, а също и за феновете.



"Вярвам, че не съм ходила минало девет кръга и аз съм непобедим, така че мисля, че е нещо добро за мен. Съм правил това в продължение на толкова много години, че аз вярвам, Гамбоа не може да донесе нищо на пръстен, който не съм виждал.

"Баду и аз спаринг, но това беше преди много време назад 2014. Спаринг е спаринг. Аз се готвех за Сергей Ковальов. Това беше добър сесия, но по това време той е бил в 168 паунда. Аз не се позове на това спаринг, защото тя беше толкова отдавна.

"Предполагам, че трябва да изчакаме до събота вечер за мен да се докаже, че аз все още го има. Бях плосък срещу Маркус Браун, независимо от разреза, но аз се чувствам много по-добре, отколкото този път нямах позиция в тази битка.

"Отивам да взема всичко една битка в даден момент. Мисля, Pascal може да донесе най-доброто от мен в събота вечер. Стилове правят боеве и мисля, че нашите стилове ще окото.



"Паскал и аз идвам да се бори. Маркус Браун е левичар, а той е по-уклончив. Така че е трудно да се сравняват. Паскал е трудно човек и аз очаквам нищо по-малко от тежка битка. "



JOSE UZCATEGUI



"Аз съм благодарен да се върне в тази позиция и аз обещавам на феновете няма да останете разочаровани. Отивам да се наоколо за дълго време и аз отивам да си взема обратно световна титла.



"Аз не говоря много, но тъй като той казва, че има само власт, ще видим в събота. Не говори днес и след това пуснете около пръстена.



"След като се извади от строя Lionell Томпсън, ще видим какво ще Халев растенията трябва да се каже, че след. Надявам се, че той ще остане и да се бори. Единствената причина растенията е шампион е така, защото съм объркан.

LIONELL Томпсън



"Искам да благодаря на Uzcategui и неговия екип за вземане на борбата. Това е първият ми път в отдела за супер средна категория и смятам да са победители.



"За всеки, който ми помогна и ме подкрепяше, Обещавам, че няма да позволи на вас, момчета надолу. Аз съм планирал да даде най-добрия ми представяне в събота вечер.



"Аз съм бил там с по-големи Punchers в тежката категория и единственият път, когато е бил спрян беше в началото на кариерата ми. Аз бях пребит добрите и непобедими перспективи, които могат да удрят.



"Вярвам, че преместването в теглото, и да го правим добре с диетолог, ще бъде по-добре за мен. Всеки може да те нарани. Всеки казва, че той може да удари, но всеки, който те удря право може да те нарани.



"Аз съм фокусиран върху съвършенството. Аз не планирате да направите каквито и да било грешки. Знам какво мога да направя. Всеки, който е споделен пръстена с мен, ще кажа, че съм един от най-ловките бойци там. Флойд Мейуедър дори го каза.



"Знам, че Uzcategui е труден, но аз не съм притеснен, защото аз съм с което най-добрият ми. Аз вярвам, че ще бъде победител. Уважавам го и той определено е сила, за да се съобразяваме, но аз просто вярвам в себе си. "



LEONARD Ellerbe, Главен изпълнителен директор на Мейуедър Промоции



"Събота вечер, то ще бъде осветена. Аз съм много развълнуван за тази карта. Мога да си спомня кога за първи път се говори за привеждане тази борба в Атланта, има само едно име, което е синоним на подслушване в един пазар, който не е имал голяма борба в 20 години. Когато става дума за възбуда, Името Gervonta Дейвис върви ръка за ръка.



"Знаехме, че цялата тази общност ще се впише. Ние знаем, че това ще бъде най-обсъжданите събития и привличане на внимание, че ние не сме виждали от много години насам.



"Имаме изключителен undercard, включително голямо сътрудничество основното събитие с Жан Паскал и Баду Джак, който гаранция ще бъде много забавно мач. Тези две ще го всички с юмрук по масата.



"От горе до долу това е много забавно карта. С поглед към основното събитие, когато се вгледате в Гамбоа, Знаете ли, че това, което той носи на масата. Ние не купувате нищо за него е по-стар боец. Той има феноменален родословие и е видял всичко в този пръстен. Това е много опасно за борба Gervonta и това е, което искаме. Ние искаме нищо друго, освен най-доброто за Gervonta.



"Мисля, че Гамбоа ще изведат най-добрите в" резервоар "в събота вечер. Ще ви дам един забавен карта от горе до долу, с основен предмет на събитие, което ще завърши с нокаут. "



СТИВЪН Еспиноза, президент Sports & Събитие Програмиране, Showtime Networks Inc.



"Това е голям уикенд за SHOWTIME тъй като ние имаме осем големи боксови шоу програми през следващите 10 седмици, с участието на някои от най-големите имена в този спорт, а някои от най-добрите млади перспективите на бокса. Ние не може да го стартира с по-добра борба карта тази събота вечер.



"Време е да се откажат обажда Gervonta млада звезда или изгряваща звезда, защото това, което той е показал тази година е, че той е bonafide звезда. Това е без съмнение, когато отидете в три града и ще донесе на всички хора, че той има.



"В края на деня, Нито едно от тези дела в събота вечер. Това е, което обичам в този спорт. Имате етикети, критици и големи имена, но никой от това има значение, когато Камбаната. Всеки един от тези шест бойци тук се бори като победен, защото всички сме аутсайдери преди.



"Gervonta и Гамбоа бой като те са гладни и като са ядосани. Те се борят като има една плоча в средата на ринга. В съвместно основното събитие, с Баду Джак и Жан Паскал, Ще сложа автобиографиите си срещу всеки боец ​​в областта на спорта. Те са се борили труден борбата след труден двубой и те все още се борят за този етап. Uzcategui е един от най-трудните Punchers в областта на спорта, и Lionell Томпсън търси ударът му. С всичко това заедно, ние сме в продължение на една забавна вечер. "

García’s blend of power and sublime boxing skills has made him one of the most popular boxers of the last decade and secured him as a box-office fixture at Barclays Center, where he holds the record for the largest crowd for a boxing event. He set the benchmark when 16,533 attended his welterweight title unification match against Keith Thurman on March 4, 2017 in a bout that aired in primetime on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS. The fight against Redkach will be Garcia’s eighth appearance at Barclays Center.

“Barclays Center fan-favorite Danny García is back in Brooklyn as he continues his quest for the top spot in the welterweight division,- каза Том Браун, Председател на TGB Промоции. “Danny has been in the biggest fights at Barclays Center and on January 25 there are sure to be fireworks when hard-hitting Ivan Redkach looks for a career-defining win. Redkach has upset the odds before and there’s no doubt he’ll leave it all in the ring with this opportunity to move closer to a world title fight. Combined with a former unified champion known for action fights in Jarrett Hurd, plus a rising star in Stephen Fulton, this card is loaded with intrigue from top to bottom.”

“Danny García and Jarrett Hurd are two of the biggest stars in the sport because they have consistently taken on the toughest challenges and they are always in all-action, вълнуващи битки,"Казва Стивън Еспиноза, президент Sports & Събитие Програмиране, Showtime Networks Inc. “On January 25, both men are fighting to maintain their place at the top of two of boxing’s deepest divisions in important, must-win fights. Add in two undefeated, promising contenders in the opener and we have the recipe for an explosive night of fights on SHOWTIME.”

“We’re thrilled to host our first boxing event of 2020 by welcoming Danny García back for his eighth fight at Barclays Center and have Jarrett Hurd return to the arena where he’s had some memorable victories,” said Keith Sheldon, EVP of Programming and Development for BSE Global. “Danny specifically has built an enthusiastic fan base in the borough, becoming one of the most popular fighters in our arena, and we can’t wait to see his supporters out in full force as he steps back into our ring against Ivan Redkach.”

García (35-2, 21 Нокаута) is the latest in a long line of great boxers from Philadelphia who have made their mark on the sport. His run through the super lightweight division and two-year reign as a unified champion is one of the most impressive in modern history as he defeated a string of champions, including Nate Campbell, Кендъл Холт, Ерик Моралес, Amir Khan, Zab Юда и Lucas Matthysse.

After dominating the super lightweight division, the 31-year-old García moved up to welterweight where he won the vacant WBC title with a unanimous decision over Robert Guerrero in 2016. He lost a split decision to Thurman in a unification match in 2017 and dropped a narrow unanimous decision to Shawn Porter for the WBC title in 2018. García and many pundits thought he won both those matches. В последния си двубой, García scored a spectacular knockout victory over Adrian Granados on April 20 to get back into position to regain the welterweight crown.

“I’m very excited to be headlining another SHOWTIME card and to go back to Barclays Center, my home away from home,” said García. “I can’t wait to step in the ring in Brooklyn and give fans the Danny García show. I watched a few of Redkach’s recent fights and he had a great knockout win over two-time champion Devon Alexander. Така, I know he’s a tough fighter and competitor who I expect to bring the best out of me, and he’s someone who deserves this opportunity. But January 25 is tax season, so I’m going to have to tax him and pay him with a reality check.”

REDK (23-4-1, 18 Нокаута) has his sights set on winning a welterweight title and will face the toughest challenge of his career when he steps in against Garcia. The 33-year-old Redkach, who was born in Shostka, Ukraine and now lives in Los Angeles, is accustomed to stern tests. He started boxing as an amateur in Ukraine where he had over 300 битки. When he turned professional he traveled to Mexico to train and develop the “Mexican Style’’ – a style that emphasis standing in the pocket and throwing hard shots to the body.

Things started out slowly for Redkach, but soon he began to hold his own in Mexico and prevailed, earning the nickname “El Terrible’’ from his training partners. Redkach won 14 на първата си 18 professional fights by stoppage and has won three in a row, including most recently knocking out former world champion Devon Alexander in June.

“I’m very motivated to take a massive step in my career and get closer to becoming world champion against a strong and accomplished fighter like Danny García,” said Redkach. “I have been to a lot of Danny’s fights and now I get the chance to test myself against him. I am training very hard so that I am the best that I have ever been on January 25. I’m going to shock the boxing world just like I did against Devon Alexander. I’ve never been this hungry before and I’m confident I will win this fight.”

The former WBA and IBF champion at 154-pounds, Хърд (23-1, 16 Нокаута) returns to action for the first time since losing his belts via decision against Julian Williams in one of 2019’s best fights. The 29-year-old from Accokeek, Maryland captured his first title by stopping current WBC titlist Tony Harrison in 2017 and then added the WBA belt by defeating Erislandy Lara in 2018’s consensus Fight of the Year. Hurd earned his title opportunity by going on a run of knocking off unbeaten fighters including Frank Galarza and Oscar Molina, and also owns a successful title defense against Austin Trout at Barclays Center in 2017.

“Just because I fell back, doesn’t mean I fell off,” said Hurd. “I’m back and excited to fight at Barclays Center for the third time. I’m bringing the storm back on January and I’m going to make a statement everyone is going to see. You’re not going to want to miss this fight and the best Jarrett Hurd anyone’s seen.”

Santana (25-7-1, 12 Нокаута) has taken on the toughest challenges at 154 и 147 pounds and has made his name with an all-action action style throughout a long career as a contender. The 33-year-old will look to bounce back from a close decision loss to Abel Ramos in March, in a fight where Santana dropped Ramos in the second round. Prior to the setback against Ramos, the Santa Barbara, California native was coming off of a victory over Olympic gold medalist Felix Diaz in April 2018. Santana has faced former champions Jermell Charlo and Sadam Ali while also owning a six-round draw against Julian Williams in 2011.

“This is a great opportunity for me against a fighter like Jarrett Hurd,” said Santana. “When you get an opportunity like this, it’s hard to turn it down. My job is to rise to the occasion and have the best moment of my career on fight night. Това е моят Super Bowl. When I last fought at 154-pounds, I was basically self-trained. Now I have my coach Joseph Janik training me and I really think he’s the missing piece of the puzzle for me. I’m going to go in there and leave it all in the ring January 25.”

The 25-year-old Fulton (17-0, 8 Нокаута) has made a rapid rise through the super bantamweight ranks with superb boxing skills, befitting a slick fighter from Philadelphia. Lately Fulton has shown flashes of power that have caught his opponents off guard. In his last fight he stopped Isaac Avelar with a body shot to end their fight in the fifth round on August 24.

Fighting out of Odessa, Ukraine and training for this fight in Los Angeles, Khegai (16-0-1, 10 Нокаута) will make his third start in the U.S. януари 25, after a successful U.S. debut in in May 2018 when he defeated Adam Lopez on the prospect developmental seriesShoBox: Новото поколение. The 27-year-old has already been victorious twice in 2019, stopping Haidari Mchanjo in March and most recently winning a unanimous decision over Vladimir Tikhonov in August onShoBox.
