CHRIS COLBERT AIMS TO “SHOW EVERYONE WHY I’M ONE OF THE BEST 130-POUNDERS IN THE WORLD” AGAINST JAIME ARBOLEDA

Unbeaten Interim WBA Super Featherweight Champion Colbert Battles Hard-Hitting Arboleda in Main Event Live on SHOWTIME® lauantaina, Joulukuu 12

NEW YORK – Joulukuu 8, 2020 – Unbeaten interim WBA Super Featherweight Champion Chris “Primetime” Colbert will look to make a statement in his first nationally televised main event as he faces hard-hitting Jaime Arboleda live on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Joulukuu 12 at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

“I always knew I was going to get here,” said Colbert. “It’s all God’s plan. This is just going to be another day for me and I’ll show everyone why I’m one of the best 130-pounders in the world.”

The 24-year-old Colbert has shot up the rankings of the 130-pound weight class and believes that a victory on Saturday night will lead to bigger opportunities in the jam-packed division.

“This is one of the most stacked divisions in boxing and I love competing in it,” said Colbert. “It’s great to be getting noticed in a division that has this much talent, and hopefully it’ll lead to me getting the big fights that I need. I don’t feel like there’s any certain fighter I’m targeting, but Gervonta Davis, Leo Santa Cruz and Jamel Herring would all be great fights for me. Beating them would help me become ‘the guy’ in the division.”

Colbert’s rise continued in his last fight, as he scored a 10th-round knockdown against former champion Jezreel Corrales on his way to a decision win while showing an impressive array of skills against a fighter determined to slow the action through holding and other veteran tricks.

“Against Corrales I learned not to rush,” said Colbert. “It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. I can’t just go rush in there and expect everyone to get knocked out. I had to take my time, do what I do best and stick to my game plan.”

In the 26-year-old Arboleda, Colbert will be presented with another rising 130-pound contender with his own sights set on emerging amongst the elite in the division. Arboleda has won five of his last six fights by stoppage and most recently dropped Jayson Velez on his way to a decision victory in February on SHOWTIME.

“Come December 12, Olen valmis, mitä hän tuo,” said Colbert. “I expect him to bring pressure and ‘try’ to make me tired because that’s the only chance he has. He can’t outbox me. That’s not happening. But I love to bang inside and I’m ready for whatever he does. I hope he doesn’t run or clinch me because I’d love to get the knockout and get him out of there early.”

The Brooklyn-native Colbert has continued to work with his longtime coach Aureliano Sosa in his hometown through the difficulties of the pandemic. Those difficulties have led to Colbert sparring with larger welterweight and super welterweights in camp, which Colbert believes could help him with the power Arboleda will bring into the fight.

“Training camp has been going great for the most part,” said Colbert. “It’s just been a little hard finding sparring partners. But because it’s been difficult to find fighters at my weight I’ve actually been sparring with 147 and 154-pound fighters. I honestly love that because it prepares me better, and who’s to say that Arboleda won’t have power like them? I’m on weight now, vaikka, and ready to put on a show on December 12.”

MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY Premieres Friday, Joulukuu 4 at 9 PM ET/PT on SHOWTIME ®

NEW YORK – November 24, 2020 – Past opponents of legendary boxing icon Hector “Macho” Camacho, including “Sugar” Ray Leonard, Felix “Tito” Trinidad and Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, share their first-hand experiences with the former world champion and recall his trademark flamboyant style in advance of the MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY documentary premiere Friday, Joulukuu 4 at 9 p.m. ET / PT Showtime.

MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY is an unflinching look at the remarkable life, storied career and unsolved murder of one of boxing’s greatest showmen. Through rare and revealing interviews with his mother, Maria Matias, sisters, wife Amy and son Hector Jr., the documentary also delves into the legendary fighter’s troubled mind and spirit, his battle with addiction and the inner turmoil that ultimately led to his demise – a mysterious double homicide on a roadside in November 2012. The film isdirected by two-time Emmy® Award winner Eric Drath. Drath and Danielle Naassana, both of Live Star Entertainment, served as producers and sixteen-time Emmy Award winner Aaron Cohen served as writer and consulting producer.

In addition to Leonard, Trinidad and Roach, past world champions Ray Mancini, Greg Haugen, Vinny Pazienza and more reminisce about climbing into the ring against the flashy and skilled Hector “Macho” Camacho:

SUGAR RAY LEONARD – March 1, 1997; In Ray Leonard’s final career fight, Camacho won by fifth-round TKOWe were both naturally past our prime, but I just felt that I was a bigger man. I was smarter, vahvempi, all those things, but the first time he threw a punch, se oli kuin, Pow! And I said, ‘Wow, that hurt.’ I tried the best I could to just go the distance. When he was at his best, he was a thing of beauty.”

FELIX “TITO” TRINIDAD - Tammikuu 29, 1994; IBF Welterweight Title: “I first met Macho Camacho when I was 12 years old at an indoor arena event in Puerto Rico. He was already a world champion. I was in awe. Camacho was talking to everyone and being himself. He ate 12 empanadas at once just to be funny.

“When I got to fight him, it was my third title defense. Olin 21 and he was 10 years older than me. He had so much experience and played so many mind games. At the final press conference, he sat at the very end of the table – sideways, kind of ignoring the press – and staring at me. When it was his time to talk, he just talked trash. He was such a showman. When we got in the ring in Las Vegas, like every fighter at a crossroads fight, I was a little nervous. He was such a great fighter. He was so experienced and technical. He was a little crazy but was such a good person. Nöyrä.

“After the fight, he came over with his chin down and congratulated me. He was like a different person – he was so friendly and calm. ‘It was a good fight,’ he told me. ‘You are going to be a great champion. Keep on climbing.’ It was a great experience for me. After that fight, I felt something had changed in me as a fighter. I had shared a ring with Macho Camacho. You are never the same after that. He helped me be a better fighter. He was the first Puerto Rican I ever faced. The only fighter that cut me. I got my win against him the same night [Frankie] Randall handed Julio Cesar Chavez his first defeat. It was a historic night.”

FREDDIE ROACH – December 18, 1985; Camacho won a super lightweight bout via unanimous decision to improve to 28-0: “Hector Camacho was the best boxer I ever fought. His speed was unbelievable. At one point during the fight, we were in a clinch and I bit his shoulder. He stepped back, smiled, and told me, ‘That’s not going to work.He was right. I had so much trouble handling his speed. You just couldn’t prepare for itand I had a really good training camp. I was really up for that fight. I think I won one round and that was only because I stepped on his foot and got a knock down. After the fight, we bumped into each other in our hotel lobby and he took me to dinner at the hotel restaurant. We talked and laughed throughout dinner. He was a great guy.”

RAY MANCINI – March 6, 1989; Camacho won a split decision for the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight titleHector had an uncanny ability to avoid punches. He had excellent hand speed, movement and reflexes. He got in the ring with everybody. And he was funny as hell. Ensin, I couldn’t stand him. But once we were retired, we buried the hatchet and every time we’d see each other, it was hugs and laughs. He made everyone laugh. He was a good soul. I was heartbroken when I heard the news about his murder. In my book, when you talk about all-time greats, he is in the top five for Puerto Rican fighters and top 20 for Latino fighters.”                 

GREGHAUGEN – February 23, ja toukokuussa 18, 1991; Camacho’s first career loss and the rematch for WBO Jr. Welterweight World Championship“Camacho was looking for a tune-up fight for the big battle of the undefeateds with Julio Cesar Chavez so that’s how I got the fight. But I had studied his fights and I knew Hector only liked to fight a minute, minute and a half of each round. My plan going into the fight was to make him fight three minutes of each round. I was hitting him with body shots and he was wincing. And plus, I was talking to him the whole fight, so he was getting frustrated. So we get to the 12th round and he ends up sucker punching me before the start of the round because I refused to touch gloves, and they end up taking a point from him which won me the fight. (In the rematch) he was so sure he lost the fight, he actually left the ring after the fight. The promoter Dan Duva had to pull him out of his dressing room and basically talk him into getting back in the ring to hear the decision. He had to win that fight because that would line him up with Chavez. I thought I beat him more so in the second fight than the first fight.”

VINNY PAZIENZA – February 3, 1990; Camacho won a unanimous decision for the WBO Junior Welterweight titleI thought I was going to wreck him. I thought I was going to go right through him. But he was much stronger and much faster than I believed. And I was thinking, ‘Oh God, I’m in for a long night.’ He got ready for me like no other fight. He was so amped and so ready. He got off all the drugs. He wasn’t drinking. He got up so high and after he beat me, he was never the same again. Hector was such a character. He surpasses me in that capacity. He was a wild guy and he was wild his whole life.”

PJ GOOSSEN – June 18, 1999; Camacho won a unanimous decision at the age of 37 to improve his record to 68-4-1: “That was a bad night for me. I had three broken ribs, and no one really knew it. Joten, I could barely breathe, let alone fight, but that’s what you have to do in boxing sometimes. As we were getting ready for the fight, his dressing room was right next to mine and they had this door separating us. I could hear him before the fight yelling, ‘Macho time!’ ‘Macho time!’ And he hits the wall. And he keeps doing that, yelling louder and louder. Hyvin, he hit the door so hard it busted through and he fell into my dressing room. Joten, he gets up and walks back in around through the other opening and says, ‘Sorry about that.’ It was actually pretty funny and me and my dad and brother were laughing. To come back in and apologize when he’s supposed to be getting hyped up to fight me. I would mark him down as one of the best lefthanders there ever was, especially when he was at featherweight and lightweight.”

VOITTAMATON VÄLIAIKAINEN WBA SUPER FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION CHRIS COLBERT -TAISTELUT KOVAT ISTUVAT JAIME ARBOLEDA LIVE SHOWTIME®-LAUANTA, Joulukuu 12 ENNEN BOXING-MESTARIEN ESITTÄMISSÄ TAPAHTUMASSA

Keskipainoiset kilpailijat Matt Korobov ja Ronald Ellis Clash

pääturnauksessa; Richardson Hitchins nousee erittäin kevyeksi tulevaisuudennäkymään entisen maailmancupin Argenis Mendezin televisio-aukkoon

NEW YORK – Marraskuu 20, 2020 - Kaksi 130-punnan divisioonan huipputaistelijoita kohtaavat, kun WBA: n superhöyhenpainon mestari on voittamaton.Chris “Primetime” Colbertkasvot kovaa lyöJaime Arboledavuonna päätapahtumaNÄYTTÖAIKA BOXING: ERIKOISPAINOS Lauantai, Joulukuu 12 at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT livenä SHOWTIME Mohegan Sun Arenalta Uncasvillessä, Conn., Premier Boxing Championsin esittelemässä tapahtumassa.

Tripleheader, alun perin suunniteltu marraskuuhun 28, näkee keskipainoiset kilpailijatMatt KorobovjaRonald Ellistaistelu 10 kierroksen päätuotannossa ja nouseva superkevyt ilmiöRichardson Hitchinsottaa vastaan ​​nuoren uransa vaikeimman testin, kun hän kohtaa entisen maailmanmestarinArgenis Mendez10 kierroksen televisiolähetysavaajana. Tapahtumaa markkinoivat TGB Promotions ja Sampson Boxing. Hitchins vs.. Mendeziä tukee Mayweather Promotions.

Nordine Oubaali vs.. Nonito Donaire oli alun perin tarkoitus pitää joulukuussa 12 mutta lykättiin sen jälkeen, kun Oubaali testasi positiivisen COVID-19: n.

”Tämä päätapahtuma joulukuussa 12 sijoittaa kaksi 130 kilon divisioonan jännittävimmistä nousevista kyvyistä toisiaan vastaan, kun ylivertaisesti taitava Chris Colbert kohtaa voimakkaan Jaime Arboledan epäonnistumattomassa showdownissa,”Sanoi Tom Brown, Presidentti TGB Kampanjat. "Päätapahtumassa kaksi keskipainokilpailijaa Matt Korobovissa ja Ronald Ellis haluavat osoittaa olevansa divisioonan eliitin joukossa, SHOWTIME-avaaja sisältää jännittävän potentiaalin Richardson Hitchinsin aina kovaa Argenis Mendeziä vastaan ​​suuressa askeltaistelussa. Nämä ovat kolme tasaisesti ottelua, joiden pitäisi tehdä jatkuvaa draamaa taistelun iltana. "

Edustaa kotimaista Brooklynia, N.Y., Colbert (14-0, 5 KOs) on nopeasti noussut 130 kilon rankingissa, ottamalla korkean tason kilpailun ensimmäisessä 14 pro taistelee. 24-vuotias voitti tappamattomat hävittäjät Austin Dulay, Titus Williams ja Antonio Dubose, kaikki hänen kahdeksan ensimmäisen taistelunsa ammattilaisena. Sisään 2019, Colbert lisäsi vielä neljä voittoa yhteenvetoonsa, mukaan lukien veteraani Miguel Beltran Jr: n räjähtävä ensimmäisen kierroksen pudotus. Viimeksi, Colbert won his interim title by dropping former super featherweight champion Jezreel Corrales on his way to a unanimous decision in their January 2020 clash.

“I’m super excited to be making my big stage debut in the main event,” said Colbert. “It’s been a long camp, but training is going great. I’m looking to put on a dominant performance, and I’m looking for the knockout if it’s there. If I can get it, that would be splendid. I know Jaime is going to come to fight. He wants the belt as bad as I want to keep the belt. It’s all going to come down to stamina, ring IQ and who has the greater will to win. I feel like I’m the guy for the job. Helvetissä ei ole mitään tapaa, josta luovun vyöni ensimmäisen puolustukseni aikana.

26-vuotias Arboleda (16-1, 13 KOs) on kerännyt vaikuttavan kuuden taistelun voittoputken kohti ottelua Colbertia vastaan, viisi näistä voitoista tuli etäisyyden sisälle. Syntynyt Curundussa, Panama, ja nyt taistelevat Miamia vastaan, Fla. Arboleda on taistellut ammattimaisesti siitä lähtien 2014 ja teki pudotuspelejä kahdesta sitten voittamattomasta vastustajasta 2019, Victor Betancourt ja Jose Saant. Hänen viimeinen taistelu, Arboleda, joka sijoittuu WBA: n neljänneksi 130 punnan divisioonassa, parhaan entisen maailmanmestaruuskilpailijan Jayson Velezin yksimielisellä päätöksellä voittaa ensimmäinen 12 kierroksen taistelunsa helmikuussa SHOWTIME.

“Jokaisen nyrkkeilijän unelma on taistella tittelistä ja olla voitokas ilman epäilyksiä,”Sanoi Arboleda. ”Se on suunnitelmani joulukuussa 12. Minulla on koko urani paras valmistelu. Tunnen suurta, vahva ja nopea kuin koskaan ennen. Olen varma, että se on erittäin jännittävä taistelu jo ensimmäisellä kierroksella. "

Korobov (28-3-1, 14 KOs) palaa toimintaan menetettyään joulukuun 2019 ottelu vastaan ​​Chris Eubank Jr.. kun hän kärsi olkavammasta, joka pakotti taistelun päättymään toisella kierroksella. Korobov, kuka lovi 300 voittaa koristeltu amatööri, tuli kyseiseen taisteluun, kun Immanuwel Aleemia vastaan ​​käytettiin enemmistön arvonta, ilmoitettuaan keskipainoluokalle, että hän olisi uhka, kun hän menettäisi kovan taistelun päätöksen voittamattomalle keskipainon mestarille Jermall Charlolle joulukuussa. Syntynyt Orotukanissa, Venäjä, ja asuu nyt St.. Petersburg, Fla, Korobov oli myöhässä korvaava ja antoi Charlolle kovempaa taistelua kuin monet asiantuntijat odottivat. Korobov had been riding a four-fight win streak before the Charlo fight, following his first professional defeat against Andy Lee in a 2014 middleweight title fight.

I am excited to be back in a PBC event on SHOWTIME December 12,said Korobov. “I have a difficult opponent, but I expect to win and prove that I am back and even better prepared. I must win against Ellis in order to get Jermall Charlo back in the ring. Tietenkin, I believe I beat Charlo, but that is the past. Ellis is in my future, and I am coming to show I am still one of the best middleweights in the world.

The 31-year-old Ellis (17-1-2, 11 KOs) will look to build off of his last outing, which saw him edge fellow contender Immanuwel Aleem by majority decision in December 2019. For Ellis, tämä taistelu sai hänet takaisin voittosarakkeeseen ensimmäisen uransa tappion jälkeen, enemmistöpäätös DeAndre Ware -yrityksestä maaliskuussa 2019. Lynn, Massan syntyperäinen on keskipainoisen Rashidi Ellisin vanhempi veli, ja hänellä oli vaikuttava amatööriura mukaan lukien a 2010 Kansallinen kultahansikkaiden mestaruuskilpailu päättyi voittoon Terrell Gaushasta.

“Minun on aika ilmestyä 12. joulukuuta,” sanoi Ellis. “Korobovilla oli mahdollisuus keskikeskiöitä vastaan, ja nyt on minun aika käyttää tätä tilaisuutta hyväkseen ja käyttää voittoa hänestä saavuttaaksesi kyseisen tason. Teemme kovaa työtä San Diegossa sparraamassa Canelo Alvarezin kanssa, jotta kaikki olisi täydellistä ja olen parhaimmani taisteluiltana.”

Kotoisin Brooklynista, Hitchins (11-0, 5 KOs) kääntyi ammattilainen 2017 edustettuaan Haitia 2016 Olympialaiset. 23-vuotias on vilkaissut vaikuttavia taitoja, kun hän on kerännyt lyömättömän ennätyksen ammattiryhmissä, joka on laajan amatööriuran tulos. Hitchins teki neljä voittoa vuonna 2019, ennen debytointia 2020 päätöksellä voitolla Nicholas DeLomba. Kahdessa ensimmäisessä 10 kierroksen ottelussa ammattilaisena, southpaw on tehnyt ratkaisevat yksimieliset päätökset.

"En unohda yhtään vastustajaa, mutta uskon, että minulla on parempi ja terävämpi taito kuin Mendez,”Sanoi Hitchins. ”Minulla on kaikki aineettomat aineet tulla maailmanmestariksi. Se pidetään usein vääränä, mutta oikeastaan ​​vain minä uskon itseeni enemmän kuin kukaan muu. Otan tämän taistelun vakavasti kuten minkä tahansa muun taistelun ja jatkan sen tekemistä saadakseni yhden askeleen lähemmäksi tuota nimikettä. Leirissä Floyd Mayweatherin ja Gervonta Davisin kanssa, Olen oppinut paljon. Minusta tuntuu, että minun on kerrottava kilpailu. He todella pakottivat minut olemaan parempi taistelija. "

Entinen superhöyhenpainon mestari, Mendez (25-5-3, 12 KOs) on tunnettu siitä, että se tarjoaa kovia haasteita urheilun parhaimmille ja on osoittautunut kestäväksi haastajaksi 140 kilolla. Sisään 2019, Mendez taisteli taaksepäin tasapeleihin erittäin kevyitä kilpailijoita vastaan, Ensin Anthony Petersonia vastaan ​​maaliskuussa ja sitten lyömätöntä Juan Heraldezia vastaan ​​toukokuussa. Syntynyt San Juan de La Maguanassa, Dominikaaninen tasavalta, Mendez taistelee nyt Yonkersista, N.Y.. ja omistaa voittoja Eddie Ramirezistä, Ivan Redkach ja entinen tittelilista Miguel Vazquez. Hän on myös käynyt varpaiden varassa entisten mestareiden Rances Barthelemyn ja Robert Easter Jr: n kanssa.

"Minulla on edessään nuori potentiaali, joka on nälkäinen menestykseen, mutta olen tänään nälkäisempi kuin koskaan olen ollut urallani, ja minulla on kokemusta siitä,”Sanoi Mendez. "Olen myös erittäin motivoitunut tähän taisteluun, mikä ei ole hyvä uutinen Hitchinsille. Kun taisteluaika tulee joulukuussa 12, näet älykkään, mutta aggressiivisemman Argenis Mendezin. "

Premieres Friday, Joulukuu 4 at 9 PM ET / PT

NEW YORK – October 27, 2020 – Showtime Sports Documentary Films today announced it will air MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY, an unflinching look at the remarkable life, storied career and unsolved murder of one of boxing’s greatest showmen. Premiering Friday, Joulukuu 4 at 9 p.m. ET / PT Showtime, the documentary debuts just two weeks after the eighth anniversary of Camacho’s fatal shooting in Bayamon, Puerto Rico.

For the first time on film, MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY offers a thorough examination of an unlikely sports hero.

Through rare and revealing interviews with his mother, Maria Matias, sisters, wife Amy and son Hector Jr., the documentary also delves into the legendary fighter’s troubled mind and spirit, his battle with addiction and the inner turmoil that ultimately lead to his demise – a mysterious double homicide on a roadside in November 2012.

When he stepped into the ring, everyone knew it was ‘Macho Time,’” said Stephen Espinoza, Presidentti, Urheilu- ja tapahtumaohjelmointi, Showtime Networks Inc. “This film reveals the complex highs and lows of Hector’s life: the joy he brought so many, as well as the demons that he battled privately behind the scenes.

Born in Bayamon and raised in the projects of Spanish Harlem in the 1970s, Camacho ascended to the pinnacle of boxing. His dynamic speed, footwork and power combined with his unparalleled showmanship helped usher in a new era of modern boxing and made him a member of an exclusive club of fighters who transcended the sport. The film tells the story of Camacho’s rise from a troubled youth to a multi-division world champion. MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY revisits Camacho’s unforgettable performances against legends such as Roberto Duran, Sugar Ray Leonard and Julio Cesar Chavez, and pivotal career turning points in bouts with Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini and beloved New England fighter Vinny Pazienza.

I will give Lee his first loss!”

Airing this Wednesday night on Showtime

BOSTON (Lokakuu 5, 2020) – “Quiet Stormplanning a Perfect Storm!

Former Southern Connecticut State University football player Sorkkarauta “Quiet Storm” Williams is looking forward to shocking the boxing world this Wednesday night (Lokakuu. 7), when he takes on undefeated, blue-chip mahdollisuus Brandun Lee (19-0, 17 KOs) päällä ShoBox: New Generation, airing live on SHOWTIME Mohegan Sun Arenalta Uncasvillessä, Connecticut.

Lee vs. Williams was originally scheduled for September 19, but it was pushed back until Oct. 7, and will be contested at a 145-pound catchweight. “It’s been a plus to have more time to prepare,” Williams spoke about the change of date. “Tämä on suuri taistelu minulle, and the extra time was only a few weeks. I’ve stayed sharp.

The 33-year-ol Williams (16-3-2, 5 KOs), fighting out of West Haven, Connecticut, was a cornerback in college who, as an undrafted player, was invited to NFL tryouts as a free agent by the Raiders, Chiefs, Colts and Falcons.

Edistää Jimmy Burchfield‘s Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES), Williams will be making his debut as a member of manager Ryan Roach‘s growing Fighter Locker stable.

I think this is a great opportunity for Jimmy, Roach added. This is a big fight for us and a must win. Jimmy is up for the challenge. We’ve been waiting for this call. He has been working hard every day with his trainer, Dave Forsyth.

This is our first fight together as a team and I am really looking forward to it. I know Brandun is special, but he hasn’t seen anything like Jimmy before, and he will stop this kid in the later rounds.

Williams is a decisive underdog versus Lee, a rising star whose goal is to become the first world champion of Korean dissent. The 21-year-old Californian was a highly decorated American amateur: 3-time U.S. National Silver Gloves, 2013 PAL National and 2015 US-. National Juniors champion. Kuitenkin, he’s never fought past four rounds and Williams will attempt to extend the gifted Lee, taking him into deep water in hopes of making him gas.
I’m honored to fight on Showtime,” Williams sanoi. “I never thought I’d have this opportunity in my career. My whole life I’ve been the underdog. I love the challenge and that’s what made me who I am today. I overcome things.

I thank God and my promoter, CES and Jimmy Burchfield, and my manager, Ryan Roach. I’m truly blessed. This is going to be a great fight and I will give Lee his first loss.

Williams will be fighting for the memory of his mother, Belinda Jordan Williams, who was strangled to death in 2008, and the case remains open.

I’m striving to be one of the best to ever lace up a pair

Derevyanchenko calls himself ‘The Technician’, but we’ll see how technical he is once I start putting my jab in his face.

HOUSTON – Syyskuu 14, 2020 – Unbeaten WBC Middleweight World ChampionJermall Charlo brought fans and media into his training camp Monday with a virtual media workout as he prepares to face top contender Sergiy Derevyanchenko to headline part one of a first-of-its-kind SHOWTIME PPV doubleheader Saturday, Syyskuu 26 Premier Boxing Championsin esittelemässä tapahtumassa.

Charlo was joined Monday by his longtime trainer Ronnie Shields as he showed off a variety of skills while training for the toughest opponent of his pro career. Charlo vs. Derevyanchenko will headline the first part of the special PPV doubleheader that begins at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT, before his twin brother and WBC Super Welterweight Champion Jermell Charlo steps in for the main event of part two against WBA and IBF 154-pound champion Jeison Rosario.

The workout streamed live on the PBC YouTube page and can be viewed in its entiretyTÄSTÄ. Here is what Charlo and Shields had to say Monday:

Charlo JERMALL

I know that it’s my time to shine and my time to give everyone the best that I can give. I’m striving to be one of the best to ever lace up a pair of gloves.

The fans that love me can expect me to do what I do. The fans who don’t know about me, they’re going to see a smart, strong and athletic fighter. You’re going to see all of it in the ring on September 26.

I came from nothing, so I want to put everyone on. I want to make sure Ronnie Shields gets into the Hall of Fame. We’re looking to do something in boxing that no one has ever done.

When I look outside this gym, I say there’s no way I’m losing. I’m carrying my whole family on my back. Houston, we have another one. I’m doing it for everybody here.

I’m telling those other middleweights to buckle your seatbelts. It’s lift off. Everyone that doubted me, everyone who wants a chance, you’ll get your turn. I’m running the show. You just stay locked in.

My power is growing along with me. With some fights you need to add more power and sometimes your power just naturally increases. I’ve gotten a lot stronger and a lot smarter, so I’ve been able to use my skills to go along with my power heading into this fight.

Derevyanchenko is a come forward fighter. He’s going to bring a lot of power and speed with good technical skills. He calls himself ‘The Technicianbut we’ll see how technical he is once I start putting my jab in his face. I’m going to use all my natural skills in this fight.

After I win this fight the sky is the limit. I know people will respect me a lot more after this, but I’m focused on only this fight. This fight is another big stepping stone toward even bigger fights to come.

A lot of people don’t really know where the Charlos came from and they’re getting the chance to learn it throughout this time. It’s taken to this point for everyone to see that we belong on this big stage. I’m grateful for everyone around me who’s embraced me with love.

We don’t have too much longer to be doing this. Where are the rest of the belts at? Olen valmis. Watch next Saturday night, because I’m making this statement loud for everyone who doubted me.

RONNIE SHIELDS, Charlo n Trainer

It means a lot to be in this position. It shows you that your fighter has made it to the top. He’s at the point where people want to see the champion of the world. It’s great to be there with him and help him to this level in the sport.

At this moment, Jermall is in great shape and he’s just about ready. We still have another week of hard training to go, then we’ll start coming down next week. He’s really sharp right now and we just have to keep him that way.

Houston loves winners and this guy is a winner. People know he’s a family man also and he works very hard for everything he’s gotten. He’s always shouting out Houston because this is where he’s from and it’s important to him.

I’ve had so many good fighters in my career, but Jermall is right up there at the top with Evander Holyfield, Vernon Forrest and Pernell Whitaker. He works hard and pays attention to what he has to do. The thing that separates them is that he knows how to watch his opponent and he knows what he’s in for.

Just like every opponent, we expect Sergiy to be at his best. We expect Sergiy to come in and try to win and be the best he can possibly be. Jermall is doing the same thing. No stone will be left unturned. We go over the game plan every day.

“A victory will put me right back on the doorstep for a world title,” said Roman. “I feel that I’m still one of the best fighters at super bantamweight, but I must get past Payano. There are so many big fights at super bantamweight, because this division is one of the deepest in boxing. My mind is set on becoming a world champion again, and a victory against Payano will bring me closer to that goal.”

Syyskuun 26 doubleheader is stacked with champions and top talent in the 122-pound division, presenting an abundance of opportunities for Roman should he emerge victorious. The 30-year-old relishes the opportunities in front of him to fight for the top spot at super bantamweight.

“I’m excited about this next chapter of my career with PBC and fighting on SHOWTIME®,” said Roman. “I know there will be a lot of big fights that can be made, and I want to thank my promoter Thompson Boxing for always believing in me. Lopussa päivän, I’m an entertainer and I want to give the fans great fights.”

Terrell Gausha has an impressive pedigree dating back to his time as a U.S. Olympian and like Lubin, he can earn a second world title opportunity with a win on September 19. Add in two exciting undercard attractions, and this is yet another fight card on SHOWTIME that boxing fans won’t want to miss.”

The 24-year-old Lubin (22-1, 16 KOs) has put together an impressive four-bout winning streak since a loss to Jermell Charlo in 2017.

“I’m focused and ready to make my 2020 debut on SHOWTIME,” said Lubin. “Terrell Gausha has been in the ring with a few good fighters and he’s also an Olympian, so I know he has the experience, but I’m expecting to dominate him. My mindset will be to execute my game plan and come out on top. I’m going to show the world that I’m one of the best 154 pounders out there and I’m ready to put a strap around my waist. It’s Hammer time!"

Jäsen 2012 US-. Olympiajoukkue, Gausha (21-1-1, 10 KOs) was born in Cleveland, Ohio but now fights out of Encino, Kalifornia., where he is trained by Manny Robles. The 32-year-old is coming off a split draw against former world champion Austin Trout in May 2019. Gausha won his first 20 ammattikäyttöön taistelee, before suffering his only career defeat in a 2017 world title showdown against Erislandy Lara.

Training camp has obviously been a little different ahead of this fight, but we’ve done what we need to, and I’ll be ready on September 19,” said Gausha. "Tämä on suuri taistelu minulle, being my second chance at getting to a world title. I know Lubin is a young, good fighter and I’m sure he’ll also be ready. But this is my fourth southpaw in a row, so I’m very prepared for this fight and I’m going to show that I’m on another level.

The 28-year-old Nyambayar (11-0, 9 KOs) won a silver medal representing his native Mongolia in the 2012 Olympialaiset. He now lives and trains in Las Vegas. Nyambayar ascended the featherweight rankings after his extensive amateur career with victories over then unbeaten Harmonito Dela Torre and former interim champion Oscar Escandon.
