Thurman a annoncé qu'il prévoyait de revenir au début 2018 dans son premier combat depuis l'unification de la division et la chirurgie qui a suivi.
Dans l'actualité samedi, Le champion poids welter IBF Spence a annoncé qu'il ferait la première défense de sa ceinture contre l'ancien champion du monde Lamont Peterson en janvier 2018 sur SHOWTIME à une date et un lieu à déterminer.
Vous trouverez ci-dessous des citations flash des trois combattants:
Deontay Wilder
“Quel autre poids lourd fait ce que je fais? Quel autre poids lourd a du pouvoir comme moi? Je n'ai pas à vous mettre des coups de poing en grappes. Je n'ai pas à faire ça. Un coup de poing. Bonsoir.
“Je suis content d'avoir eu le temps de me calmer et de réfléchir à des choses. Je suis content d'affronter Stiverne car c'est mon mandataire. Je peux enfin le sortir du chemin donc je serai un homme libre.
“C'est l'histoire de ma vie. Chaque situation dans laquelle je suis mis, J'essaie d'être optimiste sur. Il est facile d'apprécier le bien. Mais quand le mal arrive, certains ne savent pas gérer ça.
“Je suis le gars le plus frustré du coin. Je ne comprends pas. Les meilleurs sont censés combattre les meilleurs, droit? j'ai toujours fait ça. J'ai appelé (Wladimir) Klitschko il y a des années.
“Les gens font tellement d'excuses pour ma carrière. Celui qui essaie réellement de faire de sa carrière un héritage, il est le seul à ne pas se plaindre. Les gens qui n'ont pas à monter sur le ring et endurer cette souffrance sont ceux qui se plaignent.”
Keith Thurman
“Je suis dans la phase de rebond. Je ne tarderai pas à revenir sur le ring et j'espère que mon bras ira mieux que jamais. Nous estimons que je serai prêt pour un combat au premier trimestre de l'année prochaine.
“J'ai hâte de poursuivre mon héritage et de dominer la division des poids welters.
“Tout arrive pour une raison. J'ai 28 ans et ça ne fait pas du bien de ne pas être un combattant actif pendant que tu es dans la fleur de l'âge.
“Je ne pense pas que je prendrai ce niveau de combat [contre Shawn Porter] sortir de ma blessure. Je pense que nous allons juste avoir une bagarre bienvenue. Jeter le bras autour, testez-le, avoir un camp sans blessure, prenez l'élan de cela et nous pourrons éventuellement monter sur le ring avec Shawn après cela.
“j'ai hâte [potentiel] lutter contre Errol. J'attends avec impatience une grande compétition et Errol est que. C'est un combat dont vous avez parlé, tu n'arrêtes pas d'en parler, et tu devrais continuer à en parler car quand ça tombera ce sera l'un des meilleurs combats de cette génération.
“Tout le monde sait qu'il n'y a pas de Floyd Mayweather. Il n'y a pas de Manny Pacquiao. Tout le monde pense savoir qui est le vrai champion. Mais le vrai discours est que le roi de la division des poids welters se manifestera d'ici un à deux ans.
“[Terence] Crawford a frappé beaucoup de gens, mais il n'a pas encore frappé un poids welter. Il doit encore se rendre pertinent dans cette division. Il est un 140 champion incontesté. Il peut monter dans cette division de poids et combattre n'importe qui au sommet 10 et il le mérite. Mais nous sommes tellement inondés de talent qu'il va devoir se rendre pertinent à 147 avant qu'il ne mette la main sur nous.”
Errol Spence Jr.
“Je suis heureux d'être ici, cela fait longtemps. Il est enfin temps de défendre mon titre, capturer plus de titres et devenir le champion incontesté des poids welters du monde. C'est ce que je suis prêt à faire l'année prochaine.
“[Peterson] est quelqu'un que j'admirais en tant qu'amateur. Je me suis entraîné avec lui en tant qu'amateur et j'ai beaucoup appris de lui. C'est l'un de mes combattants préférés et c'est un gars qui combattra n'importe qui. Je ne l'ai jamais connu pour esquiver un combat.
“Lamont est un combattant délicat. Il a fait le tour du bloc. Il fait beaucoup de méfiance, choses de vétéran. Je cherche à acquérir de l'expérience dans ce combat. Je suis encore un jeune combattant.
“Depuis que j'étais 5-0, J'ai dit que je combattrais Keith Thurman ou n'importe qui au sommet 5. Il doit passer par la cure de désintoxication, mais je suis prêt quand il l'est. Je suis toujours prêt à combattre le meilleur.”

Here is what Erislandy Lara, Jermell Charlo and Jermall Charlo and had to say Vendredi:
Erislandy Lara
“When they asked me if I was available to come to the Houston Food Bank to volunteer, I didn’t even hesitate. I was in. No matter how busy I am with training camp, I always have time to help for a good cause.
“Houston has suffered with Hurricane Harvey. I’ve seen the devastation. Coming to the Food Bank with my wife today is my little grain of sand to help a bigger cause. I come from Cuba, an island that it’s often battered by storms. I’ve seen people lose a lot to Mother Nature. I feel for them.
“I don’t think my preparation for this fight has been affected by what happened here in Houston [Hurricane Harvey]. I have endured so much in my life. I had to escape from my homeland to pursue my dream of becoming a professional boxer. I defied the odds and I became a world champion. I got here with hard work and discipline. I’m focused. Nothing distracts me.
“Gausha is a good fighter, but he doesn’t know what he signed up for. I’m not a brawler, Je suis un vrai combattant– a technical boxer. I went toe-to-toe with some of the best fighters in the division. He’s in for treat.”
Jermell Charlo
“I didn’t get a chance to really see my house [during Hurricane Harvey] because I’ve been gone. I’ve been in Dallas training with Errol Spence Jr. and my trainer Derrick James. My uncle wouldn’t tell me anything that’s going on in my gym. Everybody basically was like ‘don’t worry about what’s going on.’ I’m trying to keep my mind off of it. I’m back home, everything is good and that’s all that matters right now.
“Erickson Lubin is a crafty young fighter. Il est fort. He’s got some skills. He’s got pop. We’re just going to have to dog it out. Best man wins. Whoever’s in the best shape, whoever’s the strongest fighter, whoever lands the best punches is going to win the fight.
“I’m a vet. I’ve been in the game professionally ten years. I grew up in the amateurs. I’ve got the height, I’ve got the size, Je suis plus fort, Je suis plus rapide.
“I’ve fought three southpaws. I’ve knocked them all out. I’ve knocked every southpaw I’ve fought out.
“Errol Spence Jr. is the perfect sparring partner. He’s been one of the best sparring partners that I’ve had even when I’m fighting right-handers because of his dominance. He’s very strong, he’s fast and he’s punching.
“I’ve got Houston on my back right now – me and my twin brother. If there were more fighters in Houston, we would be a bigger team. We do what we can to try to get boxing back into this city.
“Why not get a big fight? I’ve fought 29 combats. I’ve fought a lot of prospects. My career has been built up. I beat Olympians. What else do you want me to do? Now it’s time to beat the [Miguel] Cottos and the Canelos [Alvarez] and the Triple G’s [Gennady Golovkine] and whoever else we’ve got to jump in the ring with.
“I’m satisfied with [entraîneur] Derrick James. I actually like the fact that I have to leave to go to a different city to train because I can focus over there. I’m sitting in a home where I just train. I wake up, eat protein, back to training again and then rest. My focus is there.”
Charlo JERMALL
“I told my brother that this fight is equivalent to when I fought J-Rock [Julian Williams]. A lot of people are going to doubt him but at the end of the day they’re going to be in his corner cheering him on for the victory.
“I told Jermell to continue to work hard and keep striving because it’s going to build our legacy to that next level. It’s going to put us where we need to be to get the best opponents and the biggest fights.
“I’m in camp with Ronnie Shields. We’re getting in shape. I’ve been training so I’m just waiting on the next date, the next fight. We’ll see what happens.”

“Deontay Wilder versus Luis Ortiz on Novembre 4 is the best heavyweight championship fight that was makeable this year, and it will be supported by a tremendous action-packed undercard, televised on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING,” a déclaré Lou DiBella, Président de DiBella Entertainment. “Shawn Porter versus Adrian Granados is an all-action, fan-pleasing fight that will once again have fans at Barclays Center cheering. Sergey Lipinets is a knockout artist and up-and-coming star, attempting to secure his first world title. En outre, SHOWTIME will stream other undercard bouts, including what should be a competitive heavyweight title eliminator between top contenders Bermane Stiverne and Dominic Breazeale.”
“Adrian Granados is as tough as they come and while he may lack the name recognition of Porter, he should not be overlooked,” a déclaré Tom Brown, Président de TGB Promotions. “You look at his record and he has five losses, but those five losses are three split decisions and two majority decisions and the two draws that are split draws. This is another huge opportunity for him. Adrian feels he’s paid his dues and belongs in a fight of this magnitude.”
The 10-round welterweight match against Granados will be Porter’s fourth fight at Barclays Center. Porter won the welterweight title in his debut at the arena with a unanimous decision over Devon Alexander on Dec. 7, 2013. He lost a narrow decision to unified welterweight champion Keith Thurman in a 2016 Fight of the Year candidate in Brooklyn, and scored a TKO victory against former welterweight champion Andre Berto in his last fight on Avril 22 in front of the Barclays Center faithful.
The 29-year-old Porter (27-2-1, 17 KOs), qui est né à Akron, Ohio and now lives in Las Vegas, remains one of the top welterweights in the division and aims to secure another title shot with a strong performance against Granados.
“To be fighting on an undercard for a Deontay Wilder fight is nothing short of excellent,” M. Porter. “I’m excited and looking forward to this opportunity. Against Granados I’m getting into the ring with someone who is very established as an amateur and a professional, has great skills and isn’t going to go in there and lay down. That’s always going to bring out the best in me, and that’s always going to create a very exciting match-up. I know that when I do what I’m planning to do, it’s going to be exciting, entertaining and fill the seats.”
Adrian Granados (18-5-2, 12 KOs), de Chicago, is accustomed to tough assignments and is known for delivering exciting toe-to-toe action. The 28-year-old has been in with Felix Diaz, losing a close majority decision in 2014, and then unbeaten Amir Imam, whom he defeated by TKO in 2015 when Imam was the top contender at 140-pounds. Granados went punch for punch with Adrien Broner in his last match, but came up just short, losing a split decision in Broner’s hometown of Cincinnati on Février. 18.
“I’m very excited to be fighting one of the best welterweights in the world in Shawn Porter,” said Granados. “With our styles it’s going to be fireworks from the opening bell. I was getting ready for a fight in October but when this opportunity arose I jumped at it. It’s a tremendous card to be fighting on with the whole world watching and I’m looking to
put on a great performance.”
The 28-year-old Sergey Lipinets (12-0, 10 KOs) is a former kickboxer from Russia who has been waiting nearly a year for his opportunity to fight for a world championship.
