2021 Highs & Lows for Unbeaten super lightweight “Marvelous” Mykquan Williams

(L-R) – Mykquan Williams & Paul Cichon


HARTFORD (Oktober 27, 2021) – Unbeaten super lightweight prospect “Marvelous” Mykquan Williams (16-0-1, 7 Kos) has been on a long, strange trip in 2021, starting with his career-defining victory to date last January, tyvärr, followed by a car accident resulting in a wrist injury, leading to the entrepreneurial launch of his “Marvelous” merchandise and products, and last Thursday he became a father for the first time.

“It’s been very frustrating,” Williams said about his injury. “This is what I do; Jag är en kämpe. At times it has been hard, and I’ve been frustrated the entire time. I’m eager to fight again, but I need to be patient. When the time is right and I’m back 100-percent, I’ll be back in the ring, hopefully, early next year. Nu, I have to build-up my wrist, strength-wise.”

Williams was in a car accident this past March 5th, in which he suffered a dislocated right wrist, popped into place that evening in the trauma unit. The next morning, Williams underwent surgery to insert four pins, which left him in a splint for 11 weeks, until the pins were removed May 15th. Therapy and exercises were all he could do, no boxing at all, until he returned to training, and he threw his first punch only three weeks ago.

When a boxer suffers a serious injury to his hands like Williams, it often leaves questions about his or her boxing future. No different for “Marvelous” Mykquan, as he admits.

“Personally,” Williams explained, “I worry about coming back close to where I was, but I keep faith and keep working. People have been very supportive. Sometimes I think about not being able to box again, but I try not to think about that, but that is positioned in my mind.”

“We’re in no rush,” Williams’ head trainer Paul Cichon noted. “We’re doing exactly what his doctors are saying. I believe he’ll be back stronger, and more focused than ever now that he has a son to consider. I think he’ll be back strong in 2022.”

Williams has taken advantage of his downtime to launch his “Marvelous Chili,” as well as a “Marvelous” clothing line and gear, and he’s also looking into purchasing property.

His is life was dramatically altered this past Thursday, when his girlfriend, Zuleyma, delivered his son, Attikus Williams, who weighed in at, as a ring announcer would say, a fit and ready 9-pounds.

As he prepares for his comeback, Williams and Cichon will promote an amateur show November 20th at a venue to be determined.
“We’re hosting the show to help kids at our gym, Manchester ROCS (i CT),” the DiBella Entertainment promoted Williams remarked. “We want to do a couple a year.”

The 23-year-old Williams has already overcome the murder of his father when Mykquan was only one, in addition to having his family house burned to the ground 10 years later. A dislocated wrist has no chance of making him less than “Marvelous.”

MADRID, SPANIEN (April 8, 2021) – Super lightweight contender, Peter “Zar” Petrov (41-6-2, 22 Kos), is looking to propel himself back into the world title picture as he believes his third chance will be the charm. Först, Petrov must defeat Bergman “Snake” Aguilar (15-6-1, 5 Kos) on Thompson’s 3.2.1. Boxning händelse, next Sunday, 18 april, at the Omega Products Event Center in Corona, SÅSOM. Anfallen, scheduled for 8-rounds, will be the opening fight on the three-fight card.

The free stream will air live on the Thompson Boxing Promotions webbplats (www.thompsonboxing.com), såväl som deras Facebook och YouTube sidor. 3.2.1. Boxning kommer att äga rum på Omega Products International Event Centrum i Corona, SÅSOM, och börjar kl 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. OCH.

Here is what Petr Petrov had to say about his upcoming fight, training from Madrid, Spanien, a potential future world title shot, och mer.
On his upcoming bout against Aguilar:

“This is a chance to show how far I’ve grown as a fighter. I truly believe I’m the best version of myself and having Danny Zamora in my corner for this fight will be a big help. I want to put on a great performance that has people wondering how I would fare against top level guys. Aguilar is a tough durable guy who has been in the ring with some good fighters, so I know he’s coming to fight.”

On recent training camp:

“I’m wrapping up my final days of training camp in Madrid, Spanien, and I’m feeling very strong. Being home, and refocusing, gave me a new perspective. I arrive to the U.S. denna söndag, which is plenty of time to acclimated to the time change. I feel more an enthused than ever.”

On what a win will do for his career:

“I have been out of the ring for a year-and-a-half, even though I had three fights since my loss to Ivan Baranchyk, but that is the fight people remember. I want people to see my improvement and realize I can be a force at the 140 Ibs. division.”

On how far he believes he’s away from a world title shot:

“I think with a couple of wins I’ll be in line for a title eliminator if I put on exciting performances. Med Jose Ramirez och Josh Taylor fighting to unify the division, I think soon some belts will open up. I have to perform and be ready to succeed at each and every step along the way. I’m hoping by the end of 2021 I can be in a big fight with a world champion.”

RICHARDSON HITCHINS TRÄNINGSCAMP OFFER & BILDER

"Jag tror verkligen att jag är den bästa framåtriktade kämpen i spelet"



Unbeaten Rising Super Lightweight Prospect Hitchins Battles Tidigare mästare Argenis Méndez I Co-Main Event Live på SHOWTIME® denna lördag, December 12

Klicka HÄR för foton från Mayweather-kampanjer

NEW YORK – December 7, 2020 – Oslagna stigande utsikter Richardson Hitchins delade detaljer om hans träningsläger, inklusive pekare och motivation han fick från Floyd Mayweather och Gervonta Davis, före hans superlätta uppgörelse mot tidigare världsmästare Argenis Mendez live på SHOWTIME denna lördag, December 12 vid 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT i ett evenemang som presenterades av Premier Boxing Champions från Mohegan Sun Arena i Uncasville, Conn.

”Floyd hjälpte mig enormt när jag var tillbaka i Las Vegas,”Sa Hitchins. ”Jag har redan det grundläggande som en kämpe, men han visade mig små saker här och där och träningspass som jag har tagit med mig hem medan jag tränar för denna kamp. Jag är inte blyg för min förmåga som kämpe, för jag tror verkligen att jag är den bästa framåtriktade kämpen i spelet, så det här är den slags slagsmål jag behöver för att visa världen vem Richardson Hitchins är.

”Gervonta har också varit med i tidigare kampläger, och han är den typ av person du behöver. Han driver dig att gå hårdare. Vi försöker överträffa varandra, och det är den typ av tävling som behövs för att verkligen bli bäst. ”

Trots träning under hela pandemin, Hitchins har kunnat förbli på jobbet och på rätt spår under hela sitt läger som började i Las Vegas innan han slutade i sitt hemland Brooklyn under ledning av hans huvudtränare Lenny Wilson.

”Saken med mig är, Jag är fokuserad oavsett vad,”Sa Hitchins. ”Jag tar inte av efter mina slagsmål. Jag håller mig i form året runt; Jag behöver inte göra mig redo när det gäller konditionering eller att få min kropp tillbaka i form eftersom det här är mitt jobb. Jag tar mitt jobb väldigt seriöst. Den disciplin Floyd har haft under hela sin karriär är samma disciplin som jag har. Jag har tittat på mina idoler och tagit saker från dem så att jag kan sätta mig själv i en position att vinna.

”Jag tror inte att pandemin eller semestern nödvändigtvis förändrade min träning. Jag har fortfarande tillgång till mitt gym. Det finns inget som kommer att stå i min väg att bli bra. Pandemin saktar inte ner mig, det är bara en vägspärr för att testa mitt engagemang för sporten. ”

Den 23-åriga Hitchins representerade Haiti på 2016 Olympiska spelen och kommer att återvända till ringen efter debut i 2020 med en seger på tio omgångar över Nicholas DeLomba i februari. Det var Hitchins andra avgörande seger i tio omgångar efter hans tidigare kamp såg honom bäst Kevin Johnson efter 10 i november 2019.

”Jag tänker ofta tillbaka på min kamp mot Kevin Johnson, han är en tuff kämpe och det är han som jag med säkerhet kan säga tog fram det bästa ur mig,”Sa Hitchins. ”Det är de slagsmål som får mig att se tillbaka och titta noga på de saker jag behöver arbeta med. Den striden visade mig också att ingen bör förbises, så att gå in i denna kamp mot Mendez, Jag har inte utsikt över honom. ”

Méndez presenterar den mest skickliga motståndaren till Hitchins unga karriär. Den 34-åriga före detta mästaren kämpade senast Juan Heraldez och Anthony Peterson för att dra in 2019, och gjorde segrar över Eddie Ramirez och Ivan Redkach före det. För Hitchins, hans motståndares starka CV är något han tycker om som måttpinne för hans framsteg.

”Han är en veteran, han har varit där med många tuffa killar och han är en tidigare världsmästare, så han har helt klart en färdighet som jag tror att jag måste möta just nu i min karriär,”Sa Hitchins. ”Jag behöver de stora slagsmålen. Han är äldre nu, men jag känner att han fortfarande inte kunde röra vid min skicklighet. Det är mitt jobb att bevisa det.

”Jag vet att det här inte blir en lätt kamp, men jag är beredd på vad han än tar med. Min motivation är att vara mer än vanligt. Jag kommer att uppfylla mina mål när allt detta är sagt och gjort, och ärligt talat, Jag väntar bara på att denna kamp ska komma så att jag kan visa det. Oavsett om det är Méndez, eller vem som helst, den övertygelse jag har och hur jag känner mig själv är starkare än något som står framför mig i den ringen. ”

Februari. 28th in Florida showdown vs. obesegrad

NABO champion Yomar “The Magic” Alamo

LAS VEGAS (Februari 20, 2020) – Undefeated super lightweightKendo “Tremendo” Castaneda (17-0, 8 Kos) has been in training camp since the beginning of this year in Boxers & Brawlers gym in his San Antonio hometown to prepare for his February 28th fight against North American Boxing Organization (NABO) mästareYomar “The Magic” Alamo (17-0-1, 12 Kos) airing live on Boxeo Telemundo, börjar vid 11:30 p.m. OCH / 8:30 p.m. PT, from Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida.

Alamo vs. Castaneda is co-promoted by All-Star Boxing, which promotes Alamo and the event, and Castaneda’s promoter, Roy Jones Jr.. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions.

“This is the biggest fight of Kendo’s career to date,” CEO & Co-FounderKeith Veltre said. “He is the type fighter who doesn’t back down from anyone and knows what it takes to get the win. Kendo trains hard and we are fully confident that he will come home with the win.”

 
The 26-year-old Castaneda, som är rankad nr. 15 av World Boxing Organization (WBO),  will take on WBO No. 8-rated Alamo, the defending NABO super lightweight champion, in the 10-round main event.

Castaneda captured the vacant North American Boxing Association (Också) crown a year ago, taking a 10-round decision from previously undefeatedGilbert Venegas, Jr(10-0), and followed that with an impressive 10-round unanimous decision over Dominican veteranEudy Berbardo (24-3).

Last October in Reno, Nevada, Castaneda stoppedStan Martyniouk (20-3) in the sixth round, after which he was installed by the World Boxing Organization as its No. 15 rated super lightweight in the world.

WBO No. 8 ranked Alamo, fighting out of Puerto Rico, is coming off the lone blemish on either fighter’s pro record, a draw withAntonio Moran (24-4-1).

Alamo, 24, is the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World and FECARBOX super lightweight champion, who has made three successful NABO title defenses.

Training Camp Notes

(quotes from Kendo Castaneda)

Training Camp: “Everything here has been good. I’m ready to rock and get back in the ring. I’ll have no trouble making weight for this fight. My sparring partners are local guys, some pros, and other amateurs. I like helping up-and-coming fighters who want to turn pro. They have natural speed at 18, 19 år gammal, but their strength hasn’t fully developed, yet. They learn and I get good work. My No. 1 sparring partner, Limon, has had more than 100 amateur fights. His style is similar to Alamo’s. He’s tall and lengthy, but not as powerful as Alamo. He throws great jabs and boxes well, which will help me when I fight Alamo.

Yomar Alamo:  “He fights off his back foot a lot. He likes to box and is a good counter-puncher.

He’s undefeated but who knows how he wants to fight?  I like razzle-dazzle and I’ll quickly learn what I’m in for.”

Fighting in Alamo’s backyard: “I’m not concerned about that at all. My first fight with RJJ Boxing was in Las Vegas against a local fighter, Chuy Gutierrez, and I won that fight. I don’t mind fighting in my opponent’s backyard and I’m getting used to it. My last fight was in Reno against a California fighter, who lived a lot closer to Reno than I do in San Antonio. And I fought a local fighter in New Hampshire, when I had a bare-knuckle fight.”

How do you envision this fight going:  “Alamo will go into the fight thinking it’s going to be a boxing match, almost like an exhibition starting the fight. But I’m going to go in strong, like a street fight, banging him around. I’ll catch him with some surprises, throwing hard blows. In the third or fourth round, I’ll start boxing more. Then it’s going to be too much for him, and I’ll take him out in the eighth or ninth round.”

Bout importance: “I think I’ll possibly get a world championship eliminator fight with an impressive victory. I’m a rare, old-fashioned boxer.”

Prediktion:  “The referee will be announcing, ‘And the new NABO champion…..’”

Tickets for the Mayweather Promotions’ Sin City Showdown börja på $25 och kan köpas på: https://mayweatherpromotions.com/events/.



Hunter, 27, återgår till Sam’s Town Live efter en imponerande 2019, in which he won a decisive 10-round unanimous decision against Cameron Krael and scored an upset victory over former amateur standout Sanjarbek Rakhmanov. He comes from a family of fighters, he’s the younger brother of heavyweight contender Michael Hunter and his father was a well-respected boxer who sparred with Mike Tyson. Hunter has spent the entirety of his training camp at Prince Ranch Boxing Gym in Las Vegas, where he trains alongside undefeated welterweight Blair Cobbs.



Here is what Hunter had to say about his recent training camp and upcoming battle with Hawkins:



On his opponent…



“This is my time to shine. Hawkins is a good fighter, he is talented, but he stands in my way. I am not just fighting for myself, but for my family. Om du tittar på min post, I’ve fought some very tough guys. I know I’m battle ready to take my career to the next level. Hawkins is going down. I am going to make people respect the Hunter name once again



“I have nothing bad to say about Malik Hawkins. He is a hard-working fighter. I just feel that I am better. Detta är min tid, and no one can take this opportunity away from me. The problem for Hawkins is, I have trained harder than ever to get the win. I am more focused than ever.”



On training camp…



“I wanted this camp to be very specific. I get good sparring at Bones Adams’ gym and a lot of top pros have come through there like Shakur Stevenson, Manny Pacquiao, and many others. I have watched how they trained, and I have used that same work ethic and principles for this camp with the supervision of my coaches.”



On his status as a contender…



“I’m now ranked 13 genom WBA, which makes me a contender. I must get past Hawkins, so believe me when I tell you I’m going to leave everything in the ring. I’m looking at this fight like it’s a world title. Losing is not an option.”



On making his SHOWTIME debut…



“I am excited to headline on ShoBox: Den nya generationen. It’s a platform that launches fighters’ careers, and SHOWTIME has a fantastic and professional production crew. One goal from the beginning was to showcase my talent on a big stage like this, now I’m here. This is a very big opportunity for me, I’m not going to let it slip away.”



Hunter is managed by Greg Hannley of Prince Ranch Boxing, advised by former two-time heavyweight world champion Hasim Rahman promoted by Greg Cohen, Founder and CEO of Greg Cohen Promotions.

SHOHJAHON ERGASHEV OUTLASTS MYKAL FOX IN UNANIMOUS DECISION WIN IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION FRIDAY ON SHOWTIME®

England’s Thomas Ward Wins In U.S. Debut With Impressive Unanimous Decision Over Jesse Hernandez



Catch The Replay Monday, Februari 18 Vid 10 p.m. ET / PT på Showtime EXTREME®

MULVANE, Kan. – February 15, 2019 – Shohjahon Ergashev overcame a five and a half-inch height advantage recording a unanimous decision victory over fellow undefeated prospect Mykal Fox in the 10-round super lightweight main event of ShoBox: Den nya generationen Friday on SHOWTIME from the Kansas Star Casino.



With famed trainer Sugarhill Stewart shouting instructions from his corner, the Detroit-based power-punching Ergashev (16-0, 14 Kos), by way of Fergana, Uzbekistan, did enough to beat the rangy 6-foot-4 Fox (19-1, 5 Kos) in a matchup of two exciting undefeated prospects. Poängen var 96-94 och 98-92 två gånger (Klicka HÄR att titta).



“I didn’t think it was a close fight,"Ergasjev sa, who was only able to land two jabs the entire fight missing more than a hundred times. “He was awkward and his head was very low. He was very long and tall too, so it was hard to hit him in the head. I expected him to run all fight and he did.”



Ergashev did connect on 29 procent av hans makt slag (66 för 225) compared to Fox at 27 procent (41 för 153).



Ergashev said he was disappointed in his performance. “I come to fight,"Sa han. “I like fighters who stand and fight. Jag är en kämpe. I like guys who let me showcase my skills and bang. Fox wasn’t even boxing. He was just running around the ring. I wanted to sit down and fight.”



The 23-year-old Fox of Forest Hill, Md., one of the tallest fighters in the 140-pound division, said he agreed with one of the judges’ cards, but not the two 98-92s. “I knew it was close, and thought maybe I did enough to win,” said Fox, who did a nice job slowing the pace of the fight. “I think it was closer than 98-92. I took a few shots, but I knew he was going to be strong.”



Fox became the 186th fighter to lose their undefeated record on the prospect developmental series.



Fox, who had his father Troy and brother and fellow professional boxer middleweight Alantez in his corner, became the ninth fighter in ShoBox history to have a brother who also fought on ShoBox joining brother duos like Jermall and Jermell Charlo, Andre and Anthony Dirrell and Glenn and Nonito Donaire.



I öppnings anfall av telecast, England’s Thomas Ward (26-0, 4 Kos) put on an impressive performance and showed U.S. fight fans he will be a force to be reckoned with in the wide-open 122-pound weight class as he won a unanimous decision against ShoBox veteran Jesse Hernandez (11-2, 7 Kos).Klicka HÄR to watch a recap.



Fighting for the first time in the States, the WBO No. 4-ranked Ward of West Rainton, England, scored a fourth-round knockdown and took the 10-round super bantamweight fight easily against Fort Worth’s Hernandez. Poängen var 100-89, 99-90 och 98-90.



“I came to America and fought a home fighter and won quite comfortably, I even got a knockdown,” the 24-year-old Ward said. “He was supposed to be the puncher and I was supposed to be the boxer. A lot of people think I can’t punch, then they get over-confident and get clipped. Then they realize I can punch. Look at his face compared to mine. That will tell you something.”



Ward started strong, and seemed to get better as the fight went on. “He’s been on the gas from the opening bell, and he hasn’t gotten off it,” said International Boxing Hall of Famer and ShoBox play-by-play commentator Barry Tompkins in the final minutes of the 10th och sista omgången.



Ward exceeded double-digit connects in every round and topped 30 in five of the final six rounds while Hernandez reached double digits just three times.



It was a clean left hook that sent Hernandez to the canvas in the final seconds of the fourth round (KlickaHÄR att titta). Ward controlled the middle of the fight and landed consistent three-punch combinations against Hernandez, who at the end of round six was warned by referee Bill Clancy that he was taking a lot of punishment and had to show him something or he would stop the fight. At the top of the ninth, the referee still concerned about Hernandez lack of action, called the doctor and asked once again the same question. The doctor cleared Hernandez to continue.



Hernandez said he felt Ward’s power, and was impressed. "Yeah, he got me with that left, but I recuperated,"Sa han. “But all the credit to him. A knockdown is a knockdown.”



Ward said Hernandez asked for the fight, but wasn’t prepared for the it. “I knew he was a good, experienced fighter,"Ward sa. “He’s fought some good guys and knocked out some good guys. He’s supposed to be a puncher, but I was just on another level tonight.



“I wanted a good fight to showcase my skills and I’m glad the people on ShoBox got to see it.”



Farhood interviewed undefeated middleweight world champion Claressa Shields before the main event. Shields and fellow undefeated champion Christina Hammer will meet on Saturday, April 13 live on SHOWTIME to crown the women’s undisputed 160-pound world champion. The blockbuster unification from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. will be the main event of SHOWTIME BOXNING: SPECIALUTGÅVAbor 9 p.m. ET/PT and is arguably the most significant women’s boxing event in history (Klickahttps://s.sho.com/2UVWXtE to watch full interview).



Shields talked about her disdain for Hammer. “I’m going to keep it 100 percent professional,” she said. “I don’t like her as a person but that doesn’t matter. I want to beat her well. She’s just mad because I’m meaner that her and I’m better than her. I’m the GLOAT. Greatest lady of all time. I’m fighting every person that they say I can’t beat. I’m going to unify my division. I’m going to be the undisputed champion and nobody is going to be able to say otherwise.”



Friday’s fights were promoted by Salita Promotions. The full telecast will replay on Monday, Februari 18 vid 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ANYTIME® and SHOWTIME on DEMAND®.



Barry Tompkins called the action from ringside with boxing historian Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. The executive producer was Gordon Hall with Richard Gaughan producing and Rick Phillips directing.

NEW YORK - Januari 16, 2019 – A 10-round clash between undefeated super lightweight prospects will headline ShoBox: Den nya generationen when Uzbekistan’s power-puncher Shohjahon Ergashev takes on Mykal Fox Friday, Februari 15 live on SHOWTIME from Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane, Kan.

The second of two February editions of the prospect developmental series will feature four fighters with a combined record of 71 wins against just one loss. Undefeated super middleweight prospect Ronald Ellis will take on DeAndre Ware headlines a three-fightShoBoxtelecast on February 1.

In the February 15 co-featured fight, 28-årigaShoBox veteran Jesse Angel Hernandez returns to face WBO No. 4-ranked Thomas Ward in what will be the toughest test of his career in a 10-round super bantamweight bout.

“Shohjahon Ergashev is one of the hardest punchers in all of boxing. He will be facing a challenge in the undefeated skilled, determined fighter in Mykal Fox. A great fight the winner of which will cement himself as one of the best in the Jr. Welterweight division,” said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions. “The co main event is one of the best fights in the super bantamweight division between two proven world title contenders. A real cross roads fight with lots on the line for the winner to emerge as the new dominant name in the talent packed super Bantamweight division.”

The 27-year-old Ergashev (15-0, 14 Kos) is a former member of the Uzbek national team where he won 202 av hans 216 amateur bouts. A decorated amateur, Ergashev owns a win over Uzbekistan’s Shakhram Giyasov, a silver medalist in the welterweight division at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Ergashev, who started his pro career by registering 11 consecutive knockouts, made hisShoBox debut in January 2018, handing then-unbeaten and top-10 ranked 140-pound prospect Sonny Fredrickson the only loss of his career with a third-round TKO. The southpaw slugger, who was named one of ESPN’s top prospects of 2018, trains in Detroit under Javan “Sugar” Hill Steward and Rick Phillips at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit.

“I’m very excited to fight on SHOWTIME again,"Ergasjev sa. “Everyone says Mykal Fox is my toughest opponent to date, but that doesn’t concern me. It actually excites me because when I knock him out, just like I knocked out Sonny Fredrickson, all of the champions in my weight class will know I am coming for them soon. It’s going to be Shoh-time in 2019!"

Unlike his opponent, Fox, 23, had a rocky amateur journey amassing 40 segrar och 60 losses—two of his wins came over undefeated top prospect Lamont Roach. Fox, 6-fot 3 ½-inches from Forestville, Md., admitted that he was not disciplined and fully committed to the sweet science in his teenage years, but once he turned pro in 2014 everything changed and boxing became his way of life. Sedan dess, he has defeated all of his 19 motståndare, five by way of knockout. Fox, who is promoted by King Promotions, owns victories over the likes of former world champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley, Ricardo Garcia and Anthony Mercado.

Fox comes from a family of boxers. He is trained by his father Troy and his older brother and formerShoBox fighter Alantez (24-1-1, 11 Kos) is a 160-pound prospect whose only defeat came by the hands of Demetrius Andrade.

“It’s been a dream of mine to fight onShoBox. It has catapulted the careers of some of my favorite fighters,” said Fox, who is making his debut on the series. “I’m hoping it will catapult my career too.

“My opponent is a good fighter. He has good feet, good speed and great power. This is going to be a fight that can potentially steal the show. I look forward to seeing how our styles matched up.”

Hernandez (12-1, 7 Kos) broke onto the scene in 2017 with back-to-back wins over previously undefeated, top-15 ranked fighters onShoBox– a unanimous decision over Glenn Dezurn and a fifth-round TKO of Vladimir Tikhonov. Hernandez followed up those performances with a split-decision over Ernesto Garza in January 2018. The 28-year-old Hernandez, the youngest of 15 barn, var 73-6 as an amateur and took five years off from boxing between 2009 och 2014 to work construction jobs in his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas.

“On February 15, fans can expect to see the best performance from Jesse Hernandez yet,” said Hernandez, who will be making his fourth appearance onShoBox. “It’s been a long time coming and I won’t let this opportunity pass me. A win over Thomas Ward will definitely boost my career and hopefully lead to a world title shot. I know I will have all eyes on me on national television, I must impress. I believe the bantamweight division is mine for the taking. So I will go head and take what’s rightfully mine.”

Ward hails from County Durham in North East England, where he compiled an amateur record of 60 vinner, just four losses. The 24-year-old turned professional in 2012 vid en ålder av 17 och av 2017, he had won 20 straight fights and the British super bantamweight title. För närvarande rankat nr. 4 by the WBO, Ward hopes a win in his U.S. debut will set him up for a world title shot.

“This is a really good fight,"Sade Ward. “I’m looking forward to it and a win will put me in place for a world title fight, which is exactly what I want. It’s great to be boxing on SHOWTIME, I can’t wait and I hope for many more opportunities to be fighting on the network in the future.”

Uzbekistani super lightweight Shohjahon “Shoh” Ergashev showed why he’s the new 140-lb fighter to watch in boxing last Saturday, November 10, at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago, as he destroyed opponent Zack Ramsey in the first round.

 

 

 

The current WBA International Super Lightweight Champion, Ergashev (nu 14-0, 13 Kos), tore into Ramsey from the opening bell of their scheduled six-rounder, dropping him within the first 15 seconds with a right hand and finishing it at 1:09 with a thudding body shot.

 

 

 

Fighting on the undercard of the World Boxing Super Series Cruiserweight Tournament doubleheader Ergashev elicited “oohs and ahhhs” from the crowd with his brutal display of force. Former unified super lightweight and current welterweight champion Terence Crawford was among the impressed onlookers in the crowd.

 

 

 

Ergashev’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita, says that in preparation for this fight, Ergashev had been knocking out heavyweights in the Kronk Gym where he trains.

 

 

 

“Shohjahon is one of the hardest punchers in any weight class,”Sa Word. “His skills and physical strength make him not only one of the best in his division, but I believe one of the most exciting and powerful fighters in all of boxing.”

 

 

 

26-year-old Ergashev growls that he’s ready for anyone in the world.

 

 

 

“I want to fight the best names in the division and look forward to having an opponent that can last some rounds with me! I am coming!"
