**JERMELL Charlo**

"Avem 10 mai sunt zile și sunt entuziasmat. Acesta este cel mai important moment din viața mea. Îmi place asta. Fac asta de când eram copil. Experiența mea în interiorul și în afara ringului a dus la asta. Acum este momentul să pun totul în joc.

„Castaño va lăsa totul în ring. Deci nu jucăm niciun joc. M-am antrenat foarte greu. Am adăugat lucruri care m-au făcut mai bun pentru că știu cu adevărat că aceasta va fi o luptă grozavă.

„Îmi place statul meu natal, Texas, și îmi place să lupt acolo. Suntem crescuți diferit. Suntem un stat care a purtat propriile noastre războaie. Acesta este uriaș. Este o luptă moștenită pentru mine și sunt gata pentru ea.

„Știu ce am în ring. Când e timpul pentru a lupta, Devin instantaneu cel mai bun războinic care există acolo.

„Am suferit toată viața, așa că nu există nimic pe lumea asta care să mă facă să sufăr mai mult decât prin ceea ce am trecut când am crescut. Castaño este un mare luptător care pune multă presiune. Dar îmi cunosc abilitățile și îmi cunosc puterea. Fiecare lovitură pe care o arunc este dominantă și fiecare lovitură pe care o arunc este dureroasă pentru adversarul meu. Am o mulțime de abilități unice în mine și voi aduce câteva trucuri în această luptă.

„Nu l-am lovit încă pe Castaño, așa că nu știu ce va face bărbia lui când îl voi lovi.. Știu că are o inimă mare. O să fac doar ceea ce fac, ceea ce toată lumea știe că fac. Toată lumea vede ce pot face de fiecare dată când intru în ring.

„M-am simțit foarte bine în cantonament. Mai bine decât m-am simțit vreodată. Sunt în floare acum și mă simt mai puternic luptă cu luptă. Am dezvoltat fiecare tabără.

„Eu am curele pe curele și el are o centură. Sunt gata să iau și cureaua aceea. Am fost atent la ceea ce a făcut. Nu am stat doar de când m-am luptat cu Jeison Rosario. am lucrat.

„În acest moment, nu sunt îngrijorat de ceea ce se întâmplă după această luptă. Mă pot concentra doar pe ceea ce am în fața mea. Sunt vizionat de tunel chiar acum. Asta îmi doresc și nu văd nimic în afară de victoria din iulie 17.

„Veți vedea un Jermell Charlo mai dezvoltat în iulie 17. Vă garantez că veți vedea un luptător de top liră-la-liră. În orice moment, lupta asta s-ar putea termina.

„Aceasta este o luptă majoră pentru că este istorie pentru mine și familia mea. Este enorm pentru toți cei pe care îi reprezint și asta m-a susținut în toți acești ani. Era timpul să intrăm acolo pentru această luptă. Curelele și banii nu sunt în mintea mea. Ceea ce am în minte este moștenirea.

„Nu mulți oameni beneficiază de aceste oportunități. Această luptă va consolida o mulțime de lucruri diferite în mintea oamenilor despre Charlos.”

**BRIAN CASTAÑO**

„Aceasta este oportunitatea mea. Aceasta este lupta vieții mele. Eu sunt campion mondial și Charlo este campion mondial. Șansa de a deveni de necontestat este justă 10 zile distanță și abia aștept. Acesta este timpul meu. Această luptă este atât de importantă pentru viața mea. Sper să devin de necontestat în iulie 17 pentru țara mea și pentru susținătorii mei latini.

„Aceasta este una dintre cele mai importante lupte din istoria Argentinei. Este pentru patru curele, de necontestat la 154 de lire sterline. Este o oportunitate grozavă pentru echipa mea, managerul meu, familia mea și cel mai important, pentru mine. Aceasta va fi cea mai grea luptă din cariera mea.

„Charlo este un mare luptător, nu există nicio îndoială. Dar am venit aici pentru a-mi face treaba și voi veni în față. Sunt genul de luptător care merge mereu după tine. Sunt mereu acolo să te presez. Chiar dacă Charlo a spus că nu am nimic din ce să nu fi văzut până acum, nu a văzut pe nimeni cu stilul meu de luptă.

„L-am văzut pe Charlo doborând o mulțime de luptători cu o singură lovitură. Este ceva de care trebuie să fii atent. Totuși, Am mai multă varietate în arsenalul meu decât oricine a mai luptat înainte. Dacă trebuie să fiu mai agresiv și să merg după mai multă putere în loc de finețe, fii sigur că îl pot doborî și pe el.

„Rugina inelului nu va fi deloc o problemă. Mă antrenez în fiecare zi. Mă duc de trei ori pe săptămână. M-am antrenat de două ori pe zi în ultimul timp. Sunt în ritm și în formă. Vin după cele patru curele.

"In iulie 17, Pot garanta că îmi voi descoperi sufletul, Îmi voi lăsa inima în ring și voi face tot ce îmi stă în putere pentru a deveni necontestat, campion unificat al lumii.

„Cred că și Charlo este în floarea carierei sale. De aceea am căutat această luptă. Aceasta este lupta pe care am căutat-o pentru că amândoi suntem în cel mai bun moment al carierei noastre, si vreau sa profit de ea.

„Sunt în căutarea gloriei. Vreau să fiu primul din istorie care să fiu campion incontestabil la 154 lire sterline în era celor patru centuri și, de asemenea, să fie unul dintre cei mai buni boxeri argentinieni și latino-americani care au trăit vreodată. Mă duc pentru toate. O să las totul acolo sâmbătă seara și nu există niciun motiv pentru care să nu pot fi atât unul dintre cei mai buni luptători liră la liră, cât și unul dintre cei mai buni boxeri argentinieni vreodată..

"Dacă câștig, gloria ar fi egală cu un potențial titlu la Cupa Mondială din Argentina anul viitor. Totuși, fotbalul este diferit pentru că ai 10 alte persoane pe care te poți baza. Messi are 10 coechipieri cărora le poate trece mingea atunci când lucrurile devin grele, dar când sunt în ring sunt pe cont propriu. Boxul este mai mult o provocare individuală. Când sunt de frânghii, Trebuie să ies singur din asta. Gloria și entuziasmul unei victorii ar fi aceeași cu o Cupă Mondială din Argentina pentru țara mea.

„Această oportunitate de a face istorie pentru țara mea și pentru oamenii din America Latină scoate la iveală emoții foarte puternice în mine. Nu vreau să-mi dezamăgesc oamenii din America Latină din toată lumea. Simt o imensă mândrie de asta și sunt la înălțime provocării.

„Nu am avut ocazia să-l cunosc pe Manu Ginobili, dar este o icoană în sportul argentinian. Este unul dintre cei mai buni din toate timpurile și ceea ce reprezintă este iconic atât ca sportiv, cât și ca persoană. Are atât admirația, cât și respectul meu.

„Sunt conștient că oamenii s-ar putea să nu mă cunoască, dar sunt aici pentru a-mi crea propria cale și pentru a-mi deschide propriul drum. Știu că nu m-am luptat atât de mult în ultima vreme și poate că asta face parte din motivul pentru care oamenii nu mă cunosc, dar am refuzat luptele împotriva adversarilor care nu erau de calibru cu care voiam să-l înfrunt. Scopul meu a fost întotdeauna să mă înfrunt cu cei mai buni dintre cei mai buni și cu elita diviziei mele. Am această șansă acum și voi demonstra de ce merit această șansă și de ce merită urmat.”

CHRIS COLBERT REMAINS UNBEATEN WITH UNANIMOUS DECISION VICTORY OVER TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYAR IN SHOWTIME MAIN EVENT

**CARSON, CALIF.** (Iulie 4, 2021) - Stea în ascensiune nepierdute **Chris “Primetime” Colbert** cruised to a unanimous decision victory over **Tugststogt Nyambayar** Saturday night to retain his Interim WBA Super Featherweight title in the main event of action live on SHOWTIME from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif. in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

The 24-year-old Colbert (16-0, 6 KO) rode a dominant jab to victory as he landed 112 across the 12 rounds according to CompuBox, buoying a 218 pentru 78 advantage in punches landed. The Brooklyn-native used the jab to set up a variety of effective power punches that he was able to land from orthodox and southpaw stances.

“We had a tremendous training camp,” said Colbert. “We sparred a lot with a bigger guy in Michel Rivera, so I had a lot of practice using my speed and jab in camp. The jab is always a key in this sport.”

Mongolia’s Nyambayar (12-2, 9 KO), who now fights out of Los Angeles, stepped in to fight Colbert on less than two weeks’ notice, replacing former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa after he suffered a training camp injury. Nyambayar had successful moments in his 130-pound debut, with Colbert even noting the Olympic silver medalist’s power, but he was unable to keep up a sustained attack or keep the busier Colbert from controlling the tempo.

“He carried power for a 126-pounder,” said Colbert. “Boxing is about hitting and not getting hit. I had to use my Muhammad Ali tactics and float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. This was a great fight and ‘Tug’ did a great job coming in off only a week and a half of training for me. I take off my hat to him and wish him nothing but the best in his career.”
*Colbert’s post-fight interview: https://twitter.com/ShowtimeBoxing/status/1411543856345145345*

Colbert rode his versatile offensive arsenal to a big advantage on the scorecards and statistically, dominating Nyambayar in punches landed as he connected on 106 power punches to 78 total punches landed by Nyambayar. După 12 runde, the judges’ scores confirmed Colbert’s dominance, as he won the decision with scores of 117-111 și 118-110 de două ori.

“I’m number one in the WBA,” said Colbert. “So you know what time it is. I’m going to follow the plan and see what happens next.”

În cazul în care co-principal, rising lightweight contender **Michel Rivera** (21-0, 14 KO) scored a highlight-reel knockout over **Jon Fernandez** (21-2, 18 KO) in the eighth round of their WBA Lightweight Title Eliminator.
*Watch the knockout here: https://twitter.com/ShowtimeBoxing/status/1411521691201724417*

“I’m so excited and beyond happy to get this win,", A spus Rivera. “Fernández was a strong, experienced opponent that forced me to change the game plan I had going in.”

An unbeaten Dominican fighter who now trains in Miami, Rivera seemed to take control of the action in round four, as he began to find a home for the straight right hand that would eventually end the fight. The tables turned momentarily in round six however, as Fernandez connected with a clean right hand to the head that put Rivera on the canvas for the first time in his career.

“I knew since the first round that I would have to be careful with him,", A spus Rivera. “He had heavy hands and was taller than me, but I was faster and more skilled overall.”

The 23-year-old was able to weather the storm brought by the Spaniard Fernandez and made it through the round despite the knockdown. After regaining his momentum in the seventh round, Rivera broke through with a decisive right hand that crumpled Fernandez early in the eighth, prompting referee Jack Reiss to wave off the bout 44 seconds in the frame. Rivera held an 87 pentru 76 advantage in punches landed, and connected on 37% de pumni sale de putere, comparativ cu 27% from Fernandez.

“I want the fight with Rolando Romero next,", A spus Rivera. “Once I do face him, I would like to go up against Gervonta Davis or Teofimo López.”

Before the night of fights, SHOWTIME host Brian Custer interviewed Bellator MMA No. 1-ranked Featherweight contender A.J. McKee, who will face current champion Patricio Pitbull in the Bellator MMA Featherweight World Grand Prix final on July 31 at The Forum in Los Angeles.
*McKee interview: https://twitter.com/SHOsports/status/1411527740646465537*

“I am going to go out there and dig into my bag of tricks and I am going to shock the world,” McKee said. “He’s done a lot for the sport and he has been my target for a long time, ever since I started to come up. I’ve been calling his name for 17 fights and it is time now to get it on.”

Asked if this fight was for the No. 1 spot on the Bellator pound-for-pound list, McKee said: “Definitely. Hands down. This fight is for the pound-for-pound best, Ma simt, in lume. La 145 de lire sterline, there’s not too many guys that can stop myself or Pitbull.”

McKee added: “This is not going the distance. Stilistic, it’s a bad match up for him. Nothing personal but my style is not a good match up for him…. I have to stay long, keep positioning and my feet. Distance is a big part of this fight. And catching him on the angle.”

**CARSON, CALIF.** (Iulie 1, 2021) – Unbeaten Interim WBA Super Featherweight Champion **Chris “Primetime” Colbert** and hard-hitting contender **Tugstsogt “King Tug” Nyambayar** faced off Thursday at the final press conference before they meet in the main event of action live on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Iulie 3 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif.

Also featured at Thursday’s press conference were unbeaten rising star **Michel Rivera** and lightweight contender **Jon Fernández**, who square off in the co-main event of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast that begins at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

Pentru a deschide transmisiunii, SHOWTIME will air a special replay of last Saturday night’s exciting pay-per-view main event fight between Gervonta Davis and Mario Barrios.

The event is promoted by TGB Promotions. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com.

Aici este ceea ce luptătorii au avut de spus joi:

**CHRIS COLBERT**

“I was going to knock [Yuriorkis] Gamboa out cold, and now ‘King Tug’ has to take the knockout.

“My hard work is finally paying off. All I have to do is stay focused, dedicated, and disciplined, and then I’ll be the face of boxing in a couple of years.

“This venue is really known for wars. Come Saturday night I’m definitely going to bring the heat.

“I’m ready for this fight. Nyambayar knows he’s in for trouble on Saturday. Nobody out there can take a fight with me on a week-and-half notice and not be in for trouble.

“Me and Michel Rivera got a lot of rounds in together during training down in Miami. We did a great job all camp and I’m just ready and excited to get in the ring.

“I’ve been knocking out everyone they put in front me. They still don’t give me the respect I deserve yet. I just have to keep doing my thing on Saturday night and embarrass him.

“I can’t tell you if he’s my toughest opponent yet. I know that he’s not beating me, and that’s a promise. There’s no way a 126-pounder will come up in weight and beat me.

“He’s a fighter with only one loss, he can come back from that. But it’s not going to matter on Saturday night. He’s supposed to be confident in himself. He can’t say he’s going to get washed Saturday, but that’s what is going to happen.

“I appreciate ‘Tug’ for taking the fight, but Saturday night I’m going to get in there, dominate and beat him up. This is a Nissan vs. a Lamborghini, and I’m the Lambo.

“I agree that ‘King Tug’ might be better opposition than Yuriorkis Gamboa would have been. But it doesn’t matter if it was Gamboa, ‘King Tug’, or Arnold Schwarzenegger in there with me, it was always going to be the same outcome on Saturday night.

“My hair is orange this week as a dedication to the cause of fighting Multiple sclerosis. One of my friends, Dave, back in New Jersey has it and he told me his story of how he was paralyzed as a kid and also had MS. Then I saw him on the Stairmaster in the gym the next day for like an hour. I saw that and realized there’s no excuses I can make for not being in the gym. I do the different hair colors to make people feel special. I want them to know that I’m fighting for them.

“Nobody in the 130-pound division can beat me. I’m going to continue to prove that every time I step into the ring. I’m going to deliver a dominating performance. Don’t be surprised when I stop him.

“I don’t think this is going past 10 runde. I’m going to keep proving that I have power on Saturday night. I’m not discrediting his skills, but I’m just different.”

**TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYAR**

“I’m really excited for this fight. It’s my first fight at 130 pounds and I want to show what I can do. I’m ready for this opportunity.

“Just know this, we are here to win. My team is here to win. I’m ready for Chris Colbert. Asta e.

“I don’t care that I’m fighting on short notice at a higher weight. I believe in myself. I can fight at 122, I can fight at 126 and I can fight at 130.

“Two weeks’ notice is enough for me. If I didn’t take the fight, Colbert wouldn’t have a fight. So he should be thankful. Let’s see what happens. I’m going to whoop his ass.

“I believe in my speed and I believe in my power. I believe in myself. I just want to test myself. This is a good opportunity versus a good fighter.”

“I don’t think that he can stop me. Watch me on Saturday night. Sunt gata.

“I’m not worried about anything he says. I’m just focused on the sight. I really believe in myself and that I’m going to hurt him on Saturday night.

“Colbert has similar speed compared to Gary Russell Jr., so it’s not going to be anything I haven’t seen before. The adjustments from the Russell fight have been made in the gym over time.

“I’m very happy to be fighting at Dignity Health Sports Park because Los Angeles is my second home. It’s very exciting to be fighting here and with a crowd there watching. The Mongolian fans are going to show up on Saturday.”

**MICHEL RIVERA**

“I had a good camp and I have a good team, led by Herman Caicedo who is my coach along with Jukka Toivola. I know that this is a good opportunity and I worked so hard for this fight. I’m so excited for July 3 and I know that this is my chance to show I’m great and to shine.

“Jon Fernandez is a good boxer and he’s a good puncher. I don’t know much about him, but I know that he’s Spanish and he’s a tall guy. He hits hard but I’m in the type of condition to be great in this fight.

“I’m sure that on July 3 when people are watching the fight, they will see who the best boxer is. I’m ready for everything. If he wants to fight instead of box, I will fight too. I have the skills. I believe that I am faster than him. I don’t have problems with his height. You can see in my past fights where I was fighting at 144, and I looked good with big boxers too. I don’t have a problem with it. Everybody will have to tune in July 3 pe SHOWTIME, and they will see Michel Rivera beating Jon Fernandez.

“I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. I’m Dominican, and in the Dominican Republic you don’t get much opportunity. I came here and I am making my name. Everybody will know that I’m ready to fight the top names at 135 – the best boxers. I have the skills and the talent. I’m young and I’m pretty, prea.

“It’s good that he sounds confident. I am confident too. That makes for a great war. He has a lot of knockouts, but they weren’t against any boxers like me. I’m focused. Cum am spus, he’s a good boxer, but I’m better. I’m trusting my talent and I’m trusting my condition.

“My perspective remains the same after this press conference. Fernandez is a proud fighter and I expect nothing less than what he said. I’m also a proud fighter and I’m convinced that I’m better than him. I consider myself better prepared and ready to be considered one of the top boxers in the 135-pound division.

“Training with Chris Colbert was a great experience, and the sparring sessions were awesome. He made me better, just like I made him better. Este o persoană grozavă. My fellow Dominican fighter Jeison Rosario wished me luck and told me he knows I’m going to be a world champion someday, and that he will be supporting me and watching the fight from the Dominican Republic.

“Of course I believe that I am the next world champion from the Dominican Republic. I can beat all of the top boxers, the top five, in the 135-pound division. I want to make my name at 135 because I know this is a strong division now. I want everybody to know me at this weight.

“I promise a good fight. Everybody will see the next superstar in the ring on July 3.”

**JON FERNANDEZ**

“I’m very excited to be here for this fight. Training camp in Madrid and Mexico have been great. We’ve had an outstanding preparation. I’m facing a great opponent in Michel Rivera, but this is the door I need to open to be in the big leagues of boxing. I don’t plan on missing out on this chance.

“I’m glad he’s confident in his abilities, but I think this is a 50-50 match. It’s going to be a great fight and we’re definitely on the same level. There’s no difference in skill levels. I’m going to use my height and show off my boxing ability on Saturday night.

“Rivera is a very good boxer, and has many skills, but I believe that I have equal skills and more power. If I get the opening, I can knock Rivera out.

“I promise that we’re going to put on a great show and deliver fireworks in the ring. My hand will be raised when the fight is over.

“There’s nothing like fighting in Los Angeles. I have already been here before, but nothing can compare to being in the big show.

“Everyone in Spain is supporting me. My city of Bilbao has sent me all its love and they believe in me 100%. Even some famous soccer players have reached out to me. Players from Athletic Bilbao and (former Spain national team striker) Fernando Torres.

“I would like to win in order to open the door for other Spaniard boxers who come behind me and relish this opportunity – like my brother Eker, who is about to make his professional debut. I want to make him proud and put Spain on the map as far as boxing is concerned.

"Dacă câștig, it’s not just because of my power. It’s going to be a close fight, but I’m going to give everything I have to come out with the victory.”

National Powerhouse Attorney Thomas J. Henry Steps into the Ring to Back Up Mario “aztecul” Barrios Ahead of SHOWTIME PPV Fight this Saturday

**ATLANTA, GA (Iunie 23, 2021)** – Texas personal injury attorney **Thomas J. Henry**, whose record-breaking verdicts and recoveries have been featured in Fortune, Forbes, and Newsweek magazines, is now using his powerhouse image to sponsor undefeated World Champion boxer, **Mario “aztecul” Cartiere** (26-0, 17 KO). At the press conference in San Antonio, TX, for the upcoming championship fight against four-time world champion **Gervonta “Tank” Davis**, the famed attorney flew in the undefeated Barrios, and gave him the entrance and introduction he deserves, with the red carpet off a private jet accompanied by a professional Aztec Dance Troupe.

Thomas J. Henry’s partnership with Mario “aztecul” Barrios begins June 26, 2021, with Barrio’s championship fight against Gervonta Davis (24-0, 23 KO). In **SHOWTIME PPV** main event, Davis will attempt to become a Three-Division World Champion as he faces the reigning, defending, and unbeaten champion from San Antonio, Mario Barrios. The pay-per-view telecast begins at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

The new multi-fight deal will also transcend the sport of boxing and allow Mario Barrios to work alongside Thomas J. Henry on multiple philanthropic endeavors hosted and promoted by Thomas J. Henry and his law firm.

“My initial interest in Mario was derived from his commitment to excellence both in and out of the ring,” said Thomas J. Henry. “He is dedicated to personal growth at all levels, training tirelessly to hone his craft as a boxer while also committing himself to philanthropy and giving back to the San Antonio community. Mario is exactly the kind of athlete and individual we should support and celebrate.”

“This experience has been a wild and fun ride and yesterday, as my team and I got picked up in the Bay Area from a private jet that my title sponsor, Thomas J. Henry, provided,” Said Barrios. “Thomas is a well-respected gentleman in the state of Texas, and especially in my hometown of San Antonio, where his law firm headquarters is located. An incredible press conference was waiting me at the airport when I was picking up my family in San Antonio, all because of TJH. All the local media showed up in support of my fight with Gervonta Davis airing this Saturday on SHOWTIME PPV. The press conference was like a movie scene (smiling), with Aztec dancers, DJs, and all, it was great. I’m looking forward to doing some incredible community work with Thomas J. Henry.”

“Right now, my dreams and aspirations are becoming reality as these special moments are happening in real time,” Barrios a continuat. “We arrived in Atlanta last night and El Azteca is in warrior spirit, and best believe I’m coming for this man who is trying to take my belt. I want to thank all my San Antonio fans and everyone in Texas for their continued support. I want to let them know that we are going into battle together, as one. Tank has his army of fans, and I have mine. It’s going to be a great fight and may the best man win.”

Thomas J. Henry is nationally recognized for his charitable events and actions, and regularly seeks out like-minded individuals and organizations to amplify their vision for giving back to the community.

În luna martie, Thomas J. Henry partnered with Christy’s Hope, The Purple Door, and SAFE Alliance, to launch a campaign against domestic violence. Anul trecut, Thomas J. Henry created and hosted ‘Austin Elevates,’ using his professional connections and celebrity status to recruit top entertainers such as Kygo, Daddy Yankee, DaBaby, and 88Glam, to perform a one-of-a-kind charity concert at the Austin 360 amphitheater. The event raised more than $160,000 for its beneficiaries which Thomas J. Henry personally matched, bringing the total amount to $327,720.

Mai Mult, Rising Unbeaten Michel Rivera Faces Lightweight Contender

Jon Fernández in WBA Title Eliminator on Saturday, Iulie 3

At Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif.

CARSON, CALIF.(Iunie 22, 2021) – Undefeated Interim WBA Super Featherweight ChampionChris “Primetime” Colbertwill face hard-hitting contenderTugstsogt “King Tug” Nyambayarsâmbăta, Iulie 3, headlining the live SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif., in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Nyambayar replaces Yuriorkis Gamboa, who was originally scheduled to face Colbert before suffering an injury during training camp.

The SHOWTIME telecast begins at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and will feature unbeaten rising starMichel Riverabattling lightweight contenderJon Fernándezin a 135-pound WBA title eliminator in the co-main event.

The telecast will also feature highlights of undefeated super lightweight contenderRichardson Hitchinsdisputându-se împotrivaDarwin Pricein a 10-round duel.

The event is promoted by TGB Promotions. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased atAXS.com. Hitchins vs. Price is co-promoted with Mayweather Promotions.

“This lineup on July 3 features highly-touted rising stars in tough matchups against opponents looking to make statements of their own,” said Tom Brown, Președintele TGB Promoții. “Chris Colbert has been impressive fight after fight, and he will have a big test against the always-tough Tugstsogt Nyambayar. Also facing perhaps the toughest test of his career, Michel Rivera will enter the ring in an exciting matchup against contender Jon Fernández. This is a card that is lined up to deliver drama all night long.”

Representing his native Brooklyn, N.Y., Colbert (15-0, 6 KO) has quickly shot up the 130-pound rankings, taking on high-level competition in his first 15 lupte pro. Already established as a fighter with dazzling boxing skills, Colbert showcased his ability to fight toe-to-toe in his last outing, as he stopped hard-hitting Jaime Arboleda in round 11 of their December 2020 clash. The 24-year-old turned pro in 2015 and beat three unbeaten fighters in his first eight contests. Prior to the Arboleda fight, Colbert scored a highlight-reel first round knockout against Miguel Beltran Jr. în luna septembrie 2019 and a dominant 12-round decision victory over former champion Jezreel Corrales in January 2020.

“I’m very excited to be back in the ring on July 4 weekend,” said Colbert. “I get to set off my fireworks on SHOWTIME the night before. We’re taking this one to Dignity Health Sports Park in California, but I know I’ll have my New York family behind me. This is just another day, another dollar. I have a job to do, and that’s to get the win by any means necessary, but I’m looking to dominate. I expect Nyambayar to bring his A-game though because he knows he’ll be in there with a monster. I may not be the biggest puncher in the world, but I know how to finish a guy and get him out of there, and on July 3 that’s exactly what I’ll be looking to do.”

The 28-year-old Nyambayar (12-1, 9 KO) won a silver medal representing his native Mongolia in the 2012 Olympics and now lives in Southern California, where he’s trained by John Pullman. Nyambayar ascended the featherweight rankings after his extensive amateur career with victories over then unbeaten Harmonito Dela Torre and former interim champion Oscar Escandon. He earned his first world title shot when he defeated former champion Claudio Marrero in January 2019, before dropping his championship bout against long-reigning WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Russell Jr. în februarie 2020. Ahead of his super featherweight debut on July 3, the WBC’s second-ranked featherweight Nyambayar most recently handed Cobia Breedy his first loss by scoring two knockdowns and eventually earning the decision in September 2020.

“When I got the call about this fight, I jumped at the opportunity,” said Nyambayar. “I can’t wait to compete. I was born for fights like this. I’m going to leave it all in the ring and give the fans a great show on July 3.”

Născut în Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and now fighting out of Miami, Rivera (20-0, 13 KO) burst onto the scene in 2019 making his U.S. debut with a victory over Juan Rene Tellez. The 23-year-old continued his ascent in 2020, adding a stoppage win against Fidel Maldonado Jr. and a unanimous decision triumph against lightweight contender LaDarius Miller. Cel mai recent, Rivera stepped back into the ring to knock out Anthony Mercado in February of this year.

“I can’t wait to be showcasing my skills once again on July 3,” said Rivera. “Fernández will be bringing his A-game and that’s exactly what I want. My coach Herman Caicedo and I have been zeroing in on the best approach to this fight and I’m excited to execute it. Jon is a rough and tough fighter and probably the best fighter I’ve faced to this point and I’m looking forward to the challenge. I know that I will be fighting for a world title soon, so I’m just staying focused and disciplined until that time comes.”

The 25-year-old Fernández (21-1, 18 KO) enters this bout on a five-fight winning streak following his only career blemish, a decision loss to O’Shaquie Foster in 2018 peShoBox: Noua generatie. A native of Bilbao, Spania, Fernández will fight in the U.S. for the fourth time on July 3. Fernández has been mentored by boxing great Sergio Martinez and will look to put himself back in position for a world title against Rivera. În ultimul său luptă, Fernández knocked out Aristides Perez in the first-round of their February 2020 clash.

“The fans are going to enjoy this fight with Rivera very much,” said Fernández. “Both of us are going to give our all in the ring for the opportunity to become a champion. This is the kind of fight that boxing is all about. Our division is full of great fighters, so you need to fight the best to be the best. My training is going very well and I believe that at this moment, I am in the prime of my career.”

A native of Brooklyn, Hitchins (12-0, 5 KO) a devenit profesionist în 2017 after representing Haiti at the 2016 Jocurile Olimpice. The 23-year-old has flashed impressive skills as he’s amassed an unbeaten record in the pro ranks, which is the product of an extensive amateur career. În ultimul său excursie, Hitchins scored a career-best victory, as he earned a decision over former world champion Argenis Mendez. Hitchins has increased his competition in winning 10-round decisions in his last three fights.

“After my last fight in December, I got right back in the ring and have been training and tweaking things to help me really get to that star level,” said Hitchins. “I’ve always had the tools, but people are just now recognizing my talents. Each opponent has brought something different out of me, and I plan to keep rising to the occasion and putting on a show for the fans.”

Price (17-1, 10 KO) returned to the ring in April to knock out Saul Corral in the fifth round. His previous outing had come in December 2019 when he suffered a knee injury that forced him to take a TKO loss against Malik Hawkins in a fight Price led on the scorecards. Originally from St. Louis and now fighting out of Houston, Price was a standout track and field runner at Grambling State University before turning pro and winning his first 16 lupte.

“Every dream has a process and a price tag,” said Price. “Those who embrace the process and pay the price, live the dream. Those who don’t, just dream. I can’t wait to get back in the ring on July 3 and put on a great performance.”

**HAYWARD, CALIF.** (Iunie 10, 2021) – Unbeaten WBA Super Lightweight Champion **Mario “El Azteca” Barrios** shared updates on training camp and previewed his upcoming showdown against four-time world champion **Gervonta “Tank” Davis** before they square off in the SHOWTIME PPV main event Saturday, Iunie 26 from the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Tickets for the live event at State Farm Arena, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, GTD Promotions and TGB Promotions, sunt la vânzare acum și pot fi achiziționate laticketmaster.com.

The 26-year-old Barrios will be looking for a signature victory on June 26, and will bring a 5 ½ inch height advantage into the matchup against Davis. Since moving up to 140-pounds, Barrios is 9-0 cu opt knock-out, and scored multiple knockdowns in the only fight that went the distance, his title-winning performance over Batyr Akhmedov. The San Antonio-native is buoyed by having renowned veteran trainer Virgil Hunter in his corner.

Here is what Barrios and Hunter had to say about training camp, Davis and more:

**MARIO BARRIOS**

“This is a huge opportunity for me. Gervonta Davis has a huge name in the sport and outside of it. This is the type of fight that can accelerate both of our names after June 26.

“I think Gervonta and his team might have bit off more than they could chew with this fight. I’m not one to talk too much, but we’ll see how it plays out when we step into the ring on June 26.

“’Tank’ is going to be in there with a full blown 140-pounder. He’s not going against someone past their prime or going up in weight. I’m a guy who goes out and gets stoppages. He’s facing someone just as dangerous as he is, but two weight classes higher than what he’s used to seeing.

“We know Gervonta is a dangerous fighter. We know the threat that we have in front of us. But I’m just as dangerous, if not more dangerous. I’ve been dangerous at 140 pounds for quite some time now.

“I have speed, power and explosiveness, just like Gervonta. But I have the length and physical stature to present problems that he’s never faced before.

“I know that I have power that carries from round one through round 12. He’s not used to being at this weight and we’re going to see how he handles that move up.

“I’m confident because I have a great team behind me. I’ve had a tremendous training camp. I go into every fight with confidence in my preparation. Just like every fight, I’m more than prepared for fight night.

“This is going to be fireworks from the opening bell. We have everything we need to make this the ‘Fight of the Year’.

“This is the moment that I’ve been dreaming of since I was a kid. It just goes to show that everything I’ve been working for my whole life is now unfolding in front of me. This is just the beginning and I’m ready to seize this opportunity.”

**VIRGIL HUNTER, Barrios’ Trainer**

“The preparation is going really well. We feel really good. Mario is as ready as he can be, so we’re looking forward to an exciting fight. He understands the importance of this fight. It’s a career-defining fight at this stage of his career, so he understands the significance of it. He understands what a victory means and what a setback means. He understands right where he is. His career is still in front of him because he’s a young fighter. But at this stage, it’s a very important fight and a victory would mean a lot.

“You always have to acknowledge ‘Tank’s’ punching power. You have to acknowledge his quickness and his IQ. His attributes appear to be very much real from what I’ve seen. There’s not anything about him that you cannot take seriously. You have to take everything about him seriously. He’s got a good corner and good people behind him so that makes for a formidable opponent.

“Mario’s reach and height is an advantage if you know how to use it to your advantage. It could be an advantage or could be a disadvantage. The thing is that we’re going to find the avenues to take advantage of it and make it work for us. Pe de altă parte, it could be a disadvantage. Height and reach has never meant much to me in boxing because there are ways to overcome each stature that a fighter possesses. It’s who imposes their strategy and who imposes their will on the other who I think is going to come out victorious.

“The work ethic is there. Mario has a high ceiling that he hasn’t reached yet. He’s going towards that, but when he came here, he came with a high ceiling. A lot of fighters come and they’ve reached their ceiling, so there’s only so much you can do with them. But Mario has a lot of room for improvement and growth and I would say the best Mario Barrios is coming a couple years from now. But that doesn’t mean that he won’t be victorious on June 26. He definitely has what it takes to be victorious.”

JAKE PAUL VS. TYRON WOODLEY FACEOFF QUOTES AND PHOTOS

MIAMI(Iunie 4, 2021) – Social media superstar and undefeated pro boxerJake “The Problem Child” Paul faced off with his next opponent, five-time UFC championTyron Woodley, at the historic 5^lea Street Gym in Miami on Thursday ahead of their highly anticipated summer showdown on SHOWTIME PPV.

Here is what Paul and Woodley had to say following their heated stare down in Miami:

JAKE PAUL

“I told him I’ll pay you double your purse if you beat me. But if you lose, you have to pay your purse to my charity. He lacks confidence. Why wouldn’t you take that bet as a fighter if you knew you were going to win? To make double the money? This is the biggest pay day of your life and you can make double? Put your money where your mouth is.

“He’s a good striker. He’s known for knocking people out. But I think when I beat Tyron, people have to put respect on my name. But that’s not what I’m here for to be honest. I already know how good I am. I know that this is going to be another easy fight. That’s why SHOWTIME is in business with me. Te uiți la viitorul box.

“He’s not as good as me and he’s playing catch-up. We see holes in his whole entire game and he has try to learn how to box. He’s stiff. Muscles don’t fight and he’s going to be out of his element. This is boxing. This isn’t MMA. You can’t learn how to box in this amount of time. Now we’re going to show him the reins. The Disney kid is going to beat up the five-time UFC champion of the world. It’s going to be hilarious.

“I haven’t even shown my fighting abilities at all. I haven’t even made it past two rounds in my professional career. I haven’t been hit in the face. Nobody can even see if I have a chin or my inside fighting game. I haven’t even warmed up yet. And by the way, I’m the type of fighter that gets better the longer the fight goes on. I get better in sparring so I haven’t even been able to warm up and I’m excited to show my ability if he can make it out of the first round.

“I’ve predicted every single one of my fights. I said Ben Askren, primul tur. I said Nate Robinson, primul tur. He got to the second. I said in my first pro fight, primul tur. I don’t think Tyron will make it out of two rounds. You might not even get to see my boxing abilities in this fight to be honest.”

TYRON WOODLEY

“I’ve always wanted to box my whole life but never did it. This is my opportunity. This is a kid that’s a power-puncher. He’s got a lot of strength behind him. This is going to be a big platform to showcase what I can do in a boxing ring. And he’s a fighter. El poate lupta. La sfârșitul zilei, you can watch him and the timing, the rhythm and the footwork is there.

“He hasn’t fought very long. But the little action that I have seen was clean. Good defense. Nate was rushing him, he protected himself and he came out of his shell and cracked him.

“He’s trying to downplay his ability. He’s a fighter. Don’t let him play you by saying, ‘I’m just a YouTuber.’ Last week, he was a fighter. When he was saying nobody wanted to fight him, he was a fighter. You’re not a YouTuber anymore. You’re not on Disney. It’s been a long time since he was on Disney. That’s like me saying I’m just a collegiate wrestler and I don’t punch people.

“I just want to have fun. I want to train hard. I want to get better. I want to go out there and do things on my terms and be the one to call the shots. I want to go out there and make history. I always make history. I may not always get the credit for it but I’m always the first. Fighters always hit me up asking what they should do, what they’re doing wrong. Now it’s time for me to go do it myself.”
