Briedis vs Mikaelian & Glowacki vs Vlasov Quarter-Finals in Chicago Nov 10

Season I star Mairis Briedis vs. Noel Mikaelian and Krzysztof Glowacki vs. Maksim Vlasov are the two Quarter-Finals on an incredible doubleheader when the World Boxing Super Series comes to the UIC Pavilion in Chicago, ЗША.

 

 

 

“I am really looking forward to fighting in Chicago,” said Briedis (24-1, 18 КО). The Latvian hero is undoubtedly one of the favourites to take home Season II’s Ali Trophy in the 200-lb division.

 

 

 

“I am happy to be back in the World Boxing Super Series, and I am looking forward to fighting in front of a U.S. crowd. I am sure there will also be a lot of Latvians in the arena to help create a fantastic atmosphere.”

 

 

 

Briedis’ opponent, Germany’s Noel Mikaelian (23-1, 10 КО), is eager to perform on the biggest stageonly a split decision defeat, in an IBF eliminator against Krzysztof Wlodarczyk, prevented him of participating in Season I.

 

 

 

“There are only world class fighters in this tournament, but I believe my ring IQ will give me the edge to win it,” said Mikaelian.

 

 

 

The second main event in Chicago on November 10 is a potent match-up between Poland’s former world champion Krzysztof Glowacki and Russia’s Maksim Vlasov.

 

 

 

“The plan is simple: take it all, give nothing back,” said Glowacki (30-1, 19 КО)

 

 

 

The exciting southpaw fought Season I winner Aleksandr Usyk in 2016 – relinquishing the WBO belt over 12 раўндаў, he won the belt in 2015 via knockout against Marco Huck.

 

 

 

“I have been waiting for a long time for my chance, and I am full of power and great energy. I am going to win this tournament and become world champion again!"

 

 

 

Vlasov (42-2, 25 КО), a fighter with success at multiple weights, likewise enters the quarter-final with great confidence after winning 12 straight fights since moving up in weight in 2015.

Maurice Hooker Scores Split-Decision Upset Victory Over Terry Flanagan For WBO 140-Pound World Championship Belt

Лос-Анджэлес (Чэрвеня 9, 2018) – Former Unified Heavyweight World Champion Tyson Fury scored a fourth-round TKO over Sefer Seferi at Manchester Arena in Manchester, Англія, on Saturday in a bout that was streamed live to U.S. audiences via SHOWTIME Sports social media platforms.

 

 

 

The 6-foot-9, 275-plus pound Fury, who outweighed Seferi by more than 65 pounds following Friday’s weigh-in, looked rusty in the scheduled 10-rounder, his first bout in more than 31 месяцы. Seferi sat on his stool after four completed rounds and did not answer the bell for round five.

 

 

 

апантанасць (26-0, 19 КО) playfully bounced around for the first few rounds, and was even warned for a lack of activity in the second round against a severely undermanned Seferi (23-2, 21 КО). Fury is likely to face a tougher opponent in his next fight set for September in a division currently ruled by world title holders Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder.

 

 

 

Fury’s return to the ring came after 924 days of inactivity due to bouts of depression and admitted drug use following an upset victory over Wladimir Klitschko to take Klitschko’s WBA, IBF and WBO world titles.

 

 

 

In a fight that preceded Fury-Seferi, undefeated American Maurice Hooker won a split-decision upset victory over hometown favorite Terry Flanagan to capture the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight World Championship belt. Ацэнкі былі 117-111, 115-113 for Hooker, і 117-111 for Flanagan.

 

 

 

With blood streaming down his face, the former lightweight title holder Flanagan (33-1, 13 КО), who suffered a deep cut on the forehead after an accidental head butt in the seventh round, couldn’t overcome the aggressive Hooker (24-0-3, 16 КО), who just like training partner Errol Spence Jr., had to travel overseas to win his first world title.

 

 

 

Hooker, a 28-years-old Dallas native, was fighting for the first time outside of the United States against Flanagan, who was a 135-pound champion for three years with five defenses before moving up to the 140-pound class.

 

 

 

З перамогай, Hooker became the 76й ShoBox: Новае пакаленне alum to win a world title, joining the likes of Spence and Wilder.

 

 

 

Boxing broadcaster Ray Flores and analyst Chris Mannix delivered pre and post-fight analysis from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles for the SHOWTIME Sports audience.

 

 

 

Later on Saturday night, WBA Super Featherweight World Champion Леў Санта-Крус will rematch former three-division world champion Авэнір Mares на SHOWTIME ЧЭМПІЯНАТ БОКС® (10 p.m. ET/PT delayed on the West Coast) from Staples Center in Los Angeles. У тэлеперадачы нож, Houston’s Jermell Charlo will defend his WBC Super Welterweight World Title against former world champion Осцін Траут.

Here’s what Flanagan and Hooker had to say on Thursday:

 

Terry Flanagan

“I’m more than ready. I’ve prepared well, and I’m expecting a good night.”

 

 

 

“Of course he believes in himself, like the last few Americans that have come over. He’s just another American I’m going to add to the list.”

 

 

 

“I’m confident. I’m stronger and I’m bigger, fitter.”

 

 

 

“I’m more than ready. I know what he’s going to bring, and I’m prepared for the best Maurice Hooker. … I think I need to step up now and show people what I’m about.”

 

(On moving up a weight class) “It’s five pounds, it’s nothing. I’m plenty big enough to move up again. I’m 5-foot-10. I’m big, Я моцны, I’m ready for this weight. This is my natural weight. … I’ll get a title at this weight and then see what happens from there.”

 

 

 

“There’s nothing he can do now or that I can do now to change how the fight is going to go. It’s all about getting in there and being 100 percent switched on ready, and we’re going to have a fight Saturday night.”

 

Maurice Hooker

“I love being the underdog – I’ve been the underdog my whole life, and look where I’m at now. I’m ready to fight Saturday, and Terry’s ready to fight. I’m going to punch him in the mouth, and I hope he punches me back – if not, he’s in trouble.”

 

 

 

“We’re going to put on a good show come Saturday night. He’s in good shape, and I’m in good shape. Мы можам пайсці 12 rounds real hard, or it might be an early night for Terry.”

 

 

 

“I’m back now and better than ever. I’m ready to show the whole world who I am. Before that fight with Darleys Perez, everybody was scared to fight me. I’m still that monster, I’m still that dog. Come Saturday night, I’m going to punch him in the mouth and I might knock him out in the first round.”

 

 

 

“Come Saturday night, I pray for him, because I mean business when I get in that ring.”

 

 

 

“It’s my best against his best. We’ve got a fight Saturday night, so don’t blink.”

МАНЧЕСТЕР, Вялікабрытанія (Чэрвеня 6, 2018) – Former Unified Heavyweight World Champion Tyson Fury took one more step toward ending his 31-month exile from the sport as he met face-to-face with Sefer Seferi at the final press conference Wednesday at the Midland Hotel in Manchester.

Here’s what Fury had to say on Wednesday:

 

If he has knocked out 21 men before, if he gets it on my chin he will knock me out too.

 

I look at Sefer like I look at Wladimir Klitschko, Deontay Уайлдэр, Anthony Joshua, anybody. He’s a dangerous puncher.

 

I could have picked someone a lot easier than Sefer; someone to knock out in a round. But I need rounds.”

 

On his Heavyweight rivals:They know the message – I’m back. I don’t ever remember feeling any better than I do now.

 

I feel sharper now, more power. I fell out of love with the game but now the love is thriving, we are back on fire for one another.

 

You’re going to be the best Tyson Fury you have ever seen.”

 

There are no nerves at all. I feel like I have been a goldfish in a tank, trapped and now I am getting released back into the river where I belong. So just put me there and watch me swim.

 

“I don’t ever remember feeling any better than I do now. I feel shaper now, faster than I’ve ever been, more power, I just want it more.

 

“It was a lost relationship, it was like I was married to the game too long and we sort of fell out of love with each other.”

We couldn’t be more excited to be bringing this highly anticipated bout marking the return of Tyson Fury to the boxing world, to our viewers,” said Don McDonald, Прэзідэнт і галоўны выканаўчы дырэктар, супер канал. “This is exactly the type of exclusive content that Canadian boxing fans have come to expect from Super Channel Sports and is a welcome addition to our growing catalogue of marquee boxing events.
Perhaps boxing’s most polarizing figure, апантанасць (25-0, 15 КО) has been sidelined with mental health issues for the past 2 ½ гадоў, after shocking the boxing world November 28, 2015, when he defeated future Hall of Famer Уладзімір Клічко (64-3, 53 КО) шляхам 10-раўндавым аднагалосным рашэннем суддзяў (116-111, 115-112, 115-112).
6′ 9″ Fury became the undisputed world heavyweight champion, securing the IBF, WBA, WBO, IBO and Кальцо чэмпіянаты, only to be stripped and/or relinquish his title belts without a single defense.
(L-Р) – У сваім апошнім баі, Tyson Fury upset Wladimir Klitschko
Canadian boxing fans are more than familiar with Fury, who held his extended training camp in Canada, at Hotel Lac Leamy in Gatineau, prior to his April 20, 2013 fight at famed Madison Square Garden in New York City, in which he stopped multiple world champion Стыў Канінгам in the seventh round.
I can’t wait to get in there and prove that I’m a better fighter than I’ve ever been,” the charismatic Fury said. “I’m coming into the prime of my career now and I’ve never felt better. I’m fitter, stronger and faster than the Fury of 2015.
It’s going to be a huge night for the City of Manchester (where Fury was born). I’m delighted to be fighting at the iconic Manchester Arena for the first time in my career. I’m promising the fans a special performance to thank them for their loyal support.
Seferi, fighting out of Albania, has suffered only one loss during his otherwise perfect 11-year pro boxing career, losing a 10-round decision in 2016 to future WBA heavyweight world champion Мануэль Чарр (29-4) for the vacant WBA International crown.
This is going to be a hard fight for Fury,” Seferi predicted. “I’m very disciplined and always ready to take on everyone and anyone. This will not be an easy night for him. I’m coming to Manchester to beat one of the boxing legends of the 21вуліца century.
He is tall and strong, but he won’t be ready for the pressure that I will bring. Two-and-one-half years out of the ring is a long time and nobody knows if he is still the same fighter that dethroned Wladimir Klitschko. I am going to seize the opportunity with both hands.
The 12-round co-feature features local hero, undefeated Brit Тэры “Turbo” Flanagan (33-0, 13 КО), in his bid to become a two-division world champion, versus unbeaten American Морыс “Майці Мо” Hooker (23-0-3, 16 КО) for the vacant WBO super-lightweight world title.

Fury To Face Sefer Seferi; Terry Flanagan To Face Maurice Hooker For Vacant 140-Pound World Title

Субота, Чэрвеня 9 Live on SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel and SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook Page

 

Нью-Ёрк (Чэрвеня 4, 2018) – SHOWTIME Sports has secured the U.S. rights to stream the long-awaited return of former heavyweight world champion Тайсан Фьюри, які сутыкнецца Sefer Seferi in a 10-round heavyweight bout Saturday, Чэрвеня 9 from Manchester Arena. Showtime Бокс INTERNATIONAL® will stream live exclusively to U.S. audiences on the SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook page and SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel beginning at 4:30 p.m. І/1:30 p.m. PT.

 

 

 

У першым баі, мясцовы герой Terry Flanagan (33-0, 13 КО) will look to become a two-division world champion when he clashes with unbeaten American Maurice Hooker (23-0-3, 16 КО) for the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight crown. This will be the fourth live streaming boxing event this year on SHOWTIME Sports social media platforms.

 

 

 

Live coverage for the Frank Warren promoted event will be provided by BT Sport and BoxNation with U.K. sportscasters John Rawling providing the blow-by-blow and Richie Woodhall the analysis. Boxing broadcaster Рэй Флорэс і аналітык Chris Mannix will deliver pre-fight and post-fight analysis from Staples Center in Los Angeles for the SHOWTIME Sports audience.

 

 

 

The live stream of Fury vs. Seferi will precede that evening’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® doubleheader that features WBA Featherweight World Champion Leo Santa Cruz in a rematch against fellow three-division world champion Abner Mares live on SHOWTIME (10 p.m. ET / PT, delayed in the West Coast) from Staples Center. У са-функцыя, Jermell Charlo will face Austin Trout for the WBC Super Welterweight World Championship.

 

 

 

апантанасць (25-0, 18 КО), a former WBA, WBO and IBF Heavyweight World Champion will end a two-years-and-seven-months exile from the sport on June 9. Fury has been inactive since outpointing Уладзімір Клічко in Dusseldorf in November 2015 due to an injury, personal problems and a doping ban.

 

 

 

“I’m the fittest I’ve ever been,” said Fury, who has teamed up with new trainer Ben Davison. “Timing, reflexes, everything is better than it’s ever been. I kid you not. Я 29 гадоў, coming into the prime of my life, I’m stronger and faster, holding more muscle mass than ever. I’m more confident looking at the competition.”

 

 

 

Albania’s Seferi (23-1, 21 КО) is a 39-year-old Switzerland-based cruiserweight who is stepping up in weight and opposition when he faces the 6-foot-9 Fury. Seferi’s sole loss came in 2016 in a heavyweight bout against now-secondary WBA heavyweight champ Manuel Charr.

 

 

 

“This is going to be a hard fight for Fury,” said Seferi. “Two-and-a-half years out of the ring is a long time and nobody knows if he is still the same fighter that dethroned Wladimir Klitschko.”

 

 

 

Flanagan, the first Englishman to earn a lightweight world title, will seek to capture a title in a second weight class just days away from his 29й дзень нараджэння. Hooker, a southpaw from Dallas, Texas and ShoBox alum, has been training with Тэрэнс Кроўфард. Hooker will look to follow in the footsteps of fellow Dallas resident Эррол Спенс малодшы., who went to Kell Brook’s hometown of Sheffield, England to capture his first world championship.

PHILLY PROMOTER ARTIE PELLULO: “FLANAGAN-PETROV STEALS THE SHOW AND COULD BE FIGHT OF THE YEAR!”

ПРЭС-РЭЛІЗ

Філадэльфія, Пэнсыльванія / Манчестер, Вялікабрытанія (Сакавіка 30, 2017)–Legendary Philadelphia fight face Artie Pellulo lands in the UK early next week confident of adding a 45th world champion to his stellar CV.
The 61 year old Italian-American’s highly regarded lightweight Petr Petrov (38-4-2) makes a mandatory challenge to home hero ‘Turbo TerryFlanagan, the undefeated WBO king, at Manchester Arena у суботу week and he looks like being frantic. BT Sport and BoxNation screen live in the UK.
Last Wednesday, Glynn Evans spoke to the Philly-based promoter.
It’s been extremely difficult to find any background info regarding Petrov’s personality. Can you enlighten us?
I’ve been promoting fighters for almost 30 гадоў зараз, у тым ліку 44 world champions and I have to say that Petr is one of the nicer individuals I’ve come across; the type you’d have over your house. He’s just married the girl he’d been dating for a very long time. He’s a gentleman, a pleasure to work with.
Psychologically, how will he cope performing before thousands of baying Brits?
I’ve consistently gone on record as saying that the British fight fans are terrific. You’ll recall I had dealings with Ricky Hatton. They support their heroes like no other. But I guarantee that the crowd will not adversely affect Petrov.
Being on the road is actually like being at home for him because he’s never ever fought in Russia and hasn’t featured in his adopted homeland of Spain for five years. He’s won all six of his fights in the US and, before that, he competed in Germany, Argentina and Montenegro. I guarantee that facing a partisan crowd in Manchester will not affect his job. На самай справе, it will energize him, excite him.
And I’ve no problem whatsoever with the officials in the UK. Справа на справе, I won my first world title in Britain when Otis Grant outpointed Ryan Rhodes in his hometown of Sheffield for the vacant WBO Middleweight title way back in (Снежні) 1997.
Да гэтага, my fighter Tyrell Biggs was officially ahead on the referee’s card before Gary Mason knocked him out on a Mickey Duff show at the Royal Albert Hall (Кастрычнік 1989) and John Thompson was up on the cards before Liam Smith put him to bed at this very venue 18 months back. You always get a fair shake with the Brits.
What are Petrov’s qualities as a fighter?
I discovered him during his involvement in the ESPN Boxcino Lightweight tournament in early 2014 і, trust me, between the ropes, he’s the real deal. You only have to watch his tapes to appreciate that he’s relentless, smart, can box or punch and he’s blessed with a very good eye. Petr has a real understanding of what is going on in the ring at any given moment and he can adopt accordingly. He gives a 110% effort every time.
What is your assessment of champion Flanagan? What does Petrov need to be mindful of?
I was ringside the night Terry Flanagan hammered Diego Magdaleno in two rounds because John Thompson challenged Liam Smith that night and what I saw was a very, very good fighter. Terry’s a smart southpaw who’s very tough and keeps coming. Без сумневу, he’ll be looking to extend his very impressive unbeaten streak.
What course did you see the fight taking? What key factor will determine the winner?
This fight steals the show and could well be Fight of the Year, seriously. It’s that good a match up. Both Terry and Petr are TV friendly and fan friendly. It’s gonna be great theatre.
There’s no main factor that distinguishes one over the other. It’ll be about how two fighters at the very top of their games handle the pressure and stay with their game plan.
