Promising Russian cruiserweight Alexey Zubov (10-0, 6 KOs) measures against Constantin Bejenaru (10-0, 4 KOs, WSB: 0-1-1) of Mandilesti, Moldavija, in one of the eight-round bouts.

Six of the fighters, all seeking to establish their credibility and make a name for themselves, are newcomers to the network and will be making their ShoBox debuts on a four-fight telecast that has a distinct international flavor (two Americans, two Russians, one Romanian, one from Kazakhstan, one Dominican and one from Liberia).

The fast-rising Potapov, of Potolsk, Rusija, is ranked 10th u IBF. Extremely rare for a fighter at this point in his career, he’s already gone 10 rounds five times and 12 rounds once against good opposition. This is his second start in the United States since signing with Salita Promotions in June 2015. The 5-foot-4, 26-year-old is coming off a shutout 10-round decision over Pedro Melo posljednji Oktobar. 29 u Brooklyn.
An outstanding amateur with international success, Potapov had around 200 fights before he turned pro in March 2010. Otišao 13-0 as a pro in Russia. In his outing before last – and last in his homeland — he produced perhaps a career-best performance while winning a unanimous 12-round decision over then-IBF No. 10-rangirana Jasoin Canoy, on Nov. 8, 2015.
“I’ve been training very hard to make my ShoBox debut a spectacular one,’’ Potapov said. “This will be my second fight in New York against a very skilled boxer in Stephon Young, who is undefeated like me. I look forward to a great competitive fight and I’m putting in my work to come out on top.’’
Young is a talented, lightning-fast-handed southpaw who’s done more than enough to deserve his standing as a rising star in the Midwest. He’s making his 2016 and 10-round debut.
Like Potapov, Young was a top-notch amateur. He compiled a record of 86-13 while representing the United States in many tournaments. In theU.S. Olympic Trials in 2011, he lost to the No. 1-rated amateur,Rau'shee Warren.
His pedigree solid and after years of having “celebrated amateur” permanently affixed to his name, Young turned pro in August 2011.The 5-foot-5, 27-year-old has gone eight rounds once and six rounds on four occasions. He’s coming off a third-round TKO over Terrance Royposljednji Avgust. 8 and by far his toughest task, Young boxed unbeaten Antonio Nieves to an eight-round draw on June 20, 2015.
Young hasn’t fought near the caliber of fighters as Potapov but he’s excited and optimistic about April 15. “This is a great opportunity for me, going up against another undefeated fighter in front of the world onShoBox,’’ Young said. “You can’t pass up an opportunity like that. Obuka se ide sjajno. I’m training with some of the top notch fighters in the world like Juan Carlos Payano, Claudio Marrero i Yenifel Vicente.
“I know little about my opponent, but what I know makes me feel like we are the perfect match. We both have good records and we are both good fighters, but once I bring my A game, he’d be helpless. I will be watching all my P’s and Q’s. Once you get me in that zone I have no doubt I will win.’’
Bernardo, a 29-year-old with a million-dollar smile – and a punch to match — has registered knockouts in nine of his last 10 tuče. In Menard, he’s facing unquestionably the most seasoned foe of his career. This is Bernardo’s fourth U.S. start and second in a row. He’s coming off a clinically ruthless second-round demolition of Ben Odametey posljednji Februar. 6 u Detroitu, mene.
Born and raised in Santo Domingo, Dominikanska Republika, Bernardo had an extensive amateur career (128 tuče) before turning pro in October 2009. He captured the Dominican Republic Lightweight Title in his fourth start. Tall for his division at 5-foot-10½, Bernardo is aggressive, technically sound and possesses two-fisted power.
“With him being 30-1, beating Mason Menard will take me to the next level, exactly where I want to go,’’ said Bernardo, who trains in Houston with former world champion Frank Tate. “I’m excited about this fight onShoBox because it’s a good opportunity for America to get to know me. Obuka se ide vrlo dobro. Every day I am learning. My diet is terrific. My whole team is with me, pushing me to get better.’’
Menard, former Louisiana State and UBO All-Americas Lightweight Champion, is a pressure and hard-punching fighter who’s won 28 in a row.
He has fought all but one of his fights in Louisiana and this will be his second start u 21 mjeseci. In his most recent effort, je prestao Jesus Lule-Raya in the first round on Aug. 8, 2015.
While inactivity could pose a problem, Menard is primed for Bernardo. Nobody, on kaže, is going to deter him from his aspirations of making it to the top.
“It’s blessing to me to be able to fight and showcase my talent on SHOWTIME,’’ said Menard, who has weighed at or around 135 pounds throughout a pro career that began in October 2007. “It’s been a part of a dream of mine to do so and to one day fight for a major world title. NaApril 15, Bernardo stands between me and my dreams. It’s all or nothing. It’s rise or lay down. April 15 is the day I’ll be able to be known as a real legit fighter. I WILL NOT let this guy stop me from accomplishing any of those things. Quote me, I will give it my all, I will rise, I will be known and I will be world champion.’’
Zubov, a sensational former international amateur standout and seven-time cruiserweight tournament champion in Russia and Europe, turned pro in April 2014. His first five fights were in the U.S. – four in California and one in Brooklyn. He won all but one inside the distance.
The 6-foot-1½-inch 30-year-old will be making his 2016 debut after fighting four times in 2015 i šest puta u 2014. Zubov’s last five fights were in Russia; he is coming off a first-round TKO over Rihards Bigisposljednji Novembar. 29.
Zubov was born and raised in Magnitogorsk, a city which isn’t exactly a fistic hotbed. Getting into boxing was hardly common for his corner of the world. He didn’t grow up in a nasty neighborhood or fighting in the streets. Zapravo, he has a profound mathematical background, having attended a special school that concentrated on physics and mathematics. But while his first sport was hockey, he took to boxing.
Regarding his upcoming skirmish, Zubov said, “I spent several weeks training at the Kronk Boxing Gym with Javan ‘Sugar’ Hill in Detroit for my ShoBox debi. I learn every day in the gym and look forward to putting my knowledge to use April 15 na ShoBox. I want to follow in the footsteps of all the great Kronk fighters.’’
Bejenaru a Moldovan-born fighting out of Catskill, N.Y., pravi svoje 2016 debi. Since moving to the U.S., the 5-foot-10, 31-year-old southpaw is 10-0 sa 1 No Contest dating to September 2012. U svojoj zadnjoj izlet, he won a unanimous eight-round decision over Joel Shojgreen Lis. 14, 2015.
“I know Zubov is a good fighter. I am training very hard and have been waiting for an opportunity like this so people can see just what I can do,’’ said Bejenaru, who was born in a Moldovia, a small land-locked country in Eastern Europe. “I am ready to go and very excited about this fight.’’
Kao amater, Bejenaru won a bronze medal at the 2006 European Amateur Boxing Championships, multiple medals at the European Union Amateur Boxing Championships and the Gold Medal at the 2010 World Combat Games.
Yeyubov, 29, of Astana, Kazahstan, has fought a total of 16 rounds in his 10 fights since going pro in February 2012. A one-main offensive juggernaut, he’s scored six first-round knockouts, two second-round knockouts and two third-round knockouts. This will be his ninth fight in the U.S.
U svom ShoBox debut in his last start this past Jan. 22, Eyubov droppedJared Robinson, three times en route to a third-round TKO (0:56).
“I’m honored to be back on ShoBox,’’ said the 5-foot-6 Eyubov who’s promoted by Salita Promotions. “I went back home to Kazakhstan after my last fight and came back with more inspiration and motivation to be the best fighter in the world. I am training very hard every day in New York City and look forward to putting on a show April 15. My gratitude toShoBox for giving a young upcoming fighter like me the opportunity to showcase his skills against the best possible opponents on national TV in the U.S. It’s just amazing.’’
Eyubov got into boxing the hard way. “I used to live in a very bad neighborhood and would constantly get into street fights. I’m not a big guy so I started boxing to learn to defend myself,'', Rekao je. “I had over 150 amaterski tuče. I won about 125-130, most were by knockout. I beat Olympic champions and international champions, but I was not allowed to travel. It might have been because of where I come from – they didn’t have political connections. They’d tell me, ‘Win by knockout, or you’re not going to win.’ I had to fight heavier guys sometimes. But I was so rough and hit so hard, I’d ruin some of their best fighters at my weight.’’
Da, a 5-7, 28-godina, osvojio svoju ShoBox and eight-round debut lastNovembar. 6 with an upset, unanimous decision over previously undefeatedO'Shanique Foster. Teah outpointed Foster, who would go on to win his ensuring start on ShoBox.
“It’s a privilege and honor to be facing Eyubov on SHOWTIME,’’ said Teah, who’s coming off an eight-round draw against Demond Brock posljednji Jan. 22. “I don’t know much about him. I know he’s from Kazakhstan with a perfect record. He fought last time I fought on the same card, but I didn’t get to see him and he didn’t get to see me. Now we get to fight each other. When I got the call I was in the gym already, just not in a fight mindset. Now it’s just matter of turning up the intensity and getting ready for an aggressive opponent and getting my fight mindset going.’’
Da, who was born in Liberia, fled with his family to Ghana, where his father’s from, to escape the civil war when Sam was a youngster. The family’s been in the U.S. since he was 10.

"Nisam osjetio taj osjećaj, boriti nedelje u Oakland, u neko vrijeme. Prošle sedmice one emocije počeo postaviti u. Ja sam fokusiran i sprema, ali borba tjedan je samo drugačiji. Bez obzira na veličinu borbe trebalo bi da bi ovo. Uzbuđen sam. Navikao sam na ovu vrstu pritiska. "
"Smith je prvak Evrope. On nema problema putuje. Nije ga briga ako krvari. Ako ga oboriti, on dolazi da osvoji, i zato smo ga pokupili. Nismo ga pokupi, jer nije bilo ništa meka o njemu. Pokupili smo ga zato što je težak konkurenta. Drago mi je da je odjednom počeo je da priča kao što je on prošle nedelje. Skoro sam bila dobijanje uvrijedio da nije rekao ništa. Navikla sam da ljudi govori mnogo. Tako, je konačno počeo da govori, a ja sam ga volio. Nije to mi je trebalo više motivacije, ali to je samo malo više. "
"Vraćam se isključuje dva otpuštanja. Tokom ovog prošlosti kampa, Sam osjetio mnogo bolje nego ja u prošlosti. Ja sam više. Rame osjeća jači i mislim da ste svi će vidjeti da u subotu uveče. "
"Svaki borac ima svoj lični borbe. Ne možete predvidjeti šta te izazovi i borbe će biti i ne možete predvidjeti koliko dugo će oni biti. Ja sam bio u mogućnosti da istraje kroz tu. Paul Smith nije samo bori Andre Ward se od osam tjedan kampa, bori Andre Ward se od svega što sam upravo prošao kroz. Sve frustracije, sve kašnjenja, svih tih emocija ... on se bori da je momak dolazi u subotu uveče. "
"Svaka borba za mene je Super Bowl. Nisam izgubio u jako dugo vremena. Pripremili smo za sve što Paul Smith će imati i sve što će dovesti do stola. To je divna stvar kada se bori tjedan dođe oko i znate da niste točno bilo uglove. Svaki rep računati za mene u ovom logoru. Svakom krugu računa za mene. Gurnuo sam pored ono što mi je želio da radim. Nije bilo ničeg svjetlo o ovom kampu. Čujem Smith kamp govori mnogo o prstenu rđe i ako je to ono što su bankarstvo, oni su pogrešne plan igre dolaze 20. lipnja "
"Plan igre je da Bonbonkasto, zaslijepiti, biti eksploziva i to sve. Moram biti svjesni kao profesionalni. Virgil mi je rekao sve ovo kamp 'Ne postoji plan igre za Paul Smith. Neka doći do vas. Ste boks dovoljno dugo da kada se u ring ćeš znati šta da radim. "Mi ćemo napraviti prilagodbe usput, ali ne postoji specifičan plan igre za Paul Smith. Mislim da ćemo vidjeti sve što dolazi u subotu uveče. Neću da ga prisili. Samo ću pustiti da teče. "
"Ovaj grad je veliki vrijeme borbe. To nije samo Oakland. To je San Francisco. To je Haywayd. To je Stockton. To je sve okolne gradove. Svaki put kada oni imaju jedan od vlastite u prvom planu, oni podržavaju i to je ono što volim o Bay Area. "

"Kada [trener] Joe [Gallagher] dobiva u [Oakland], ćemo sjesti i on će ukazati na stvari odmah da moramo raditi nešto ... što treba guranje, plan igre. Koncentrirati na plan igre i taktike. Mi ćemo gledati snimke Ward i seciranje njih. "
"To je velika da ljudi u teretani danas. Juče, smo došli u Kraljev Gym da radim posao i to je nešto malo više miran. To je lijepo imati dobru atmosferu kao što je ovaj u teretani. Svi znaju da postoji borba ove nedelje i sjajno je imati djecu (od dječaka i djevojčica Klub Oakland) ovdje. "
"Volim Oakland. Teško je, ali to je teško, gdje ja sam iz previše. Liverpool je teška. Stvarno sam nadajući se da će finale idu u sedmoj utakmici, tako da je to veliki vikend za Oracle Arena. To bi donijeti neke atmosferu u Areni noć prije borbe. I vjerojatno neće dobiti bilo spavati zbog buke. "
"Nema mnogo više mogu sada da se pripremi. Ne postoji ništa Andre može učiniti danas da pomogne tukli me u subotu uveče. Šta god smo oboje uraditi u prije nedjelje je ono što se događa u ringu sa. Ne mogu više fit. Plan igre se vrši. Ja sam u poziciji u kojoj sam se da se borim najbolji borac u mom podjelu na planeti. Znam da je više od bilo koga. Niko ne treba da me podseti tog, ali isto tako znam da imam šanse da ga tuku. Znam da sam samo da radim ono što moram da radim i držati se plan igre. "
