العد التنازلي لايف: WILDER VS. غضب شديد سوف تبدأ في 6:45 عصرا. و/ 3:45 عصرا. PT live on SHOWTIME and on قناة شوتايم الرياضية على اليوتيوب و Facebook page, preceding the Wilder vs. Fury SHOWTIME PPV event that begins at 9 عصرا. ET / 6 مساءا. PT from STAPLES Center.
ديسمبر 1 SHOWTIME PPV and COUNTDOWN LIVE presentations feature two of the most feared knockout punchers in the sport. مع 39 بالضربة القاضية في 40 معارك المهنية, Wilder’s right hand is widely regarded as the biggest weapon in boxing. The southpaw Stevenson’s left has led to knockouts in six of his nine title defenses. في ديسمبر 1, the two power-punchers will take on top-rated, undefeated opponents as they make the 10th and eighth defenses of their respective WBC titles.
ستيفنسون (29-1-1, 24 كوس) is boxing’s longest reigning world champion, having won the WBC 175-pound title in 2013. The Montreal-based southpaw will face his WBC-mandated challenger in Gvozdyk (15-0, 12 كوس), a Ukrainian with 12 بالضربة القاضية في بلده 15 professional fights since a standout amateur career that included a bronze medal at the 2012 الألعاب الأولمبية.
In Gvozdyk, Stevenson will face his second consensus top-10 light heavyweight of 2018, following his Fight of the Year candidate draw with Badou Jack in May on SHOWTIME. Gvozdyk, an amateur teammate of fellow Ukrainians Vasyl Lomachenko and Oleksandr Usyk, earned the mandatory status with a near-shutout decision over Mehdi Amar in March.
“I’ve been pushing myself in training to be ready to put on a great performance December 1 and defend my title once again,” قال ستيفنسون. “My old trainer, the late great Emanuel Steward, used to tell me that ‘knockouts sell’ and that’s what I’m going for in this fight. I know I’m facing a good boxer who’s coming in very determined. He’ll be ready, but it won’t be enough. It’s going to be show time on SHOWTIME and another victory for ‘Superman’.”
“I have been waiting for this title shot for a very long time, and I will take full advantage of the opportunity,” said Gvodzyk. “It doesn’t matter where we fight. I am fully prepared to become the new WBC light heavyweight champion. كندا, ‘The Nail’ is coming to put on a show!”
تشافيز, الابن. (50-3-1, 32 كوس) is the son of Mexican boxing legend and Hall of Famer Julio Cesar Chavez, ريال. The 32-year-old from Culiacan, سينالوا, Mexico ripped off 46 straight victories to start his career using a gritty boxing style that denoted his toughness in the ring. Chavez is seeking to rebound from a unanimous decision loss to middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez on May 6, 2017.
The 36-year-old Angulo (24-7, 20 كوس) is a tough brawler who has faced some of the best boxers in the sport. انجولو, who lives in Coachella, California but was born in Mexicali, باجا كاليفورنيا, المكسيك, is coming off a hard-fought split decision loss to former world champion Sergio Mora in April.
“I am excited to be back on December 1 to perform for the great Mexican fans in Los Angeles,” said Chavez Jr. “At my weight I know I can beat anyone. I am focused and feel strong. Angulo will be first, but then I will pursue a belt at 168. I’m putting the division on notice. Chavez is back.”
“I have been training very hard in anticipation of this fight and this is the best I have felt in a long time,” سعيد انجولو. “I am looking forward to defeating Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and getting a title opportunity in the near future. I’m thankful for everyone who has supported me and I promise to surprise a lot of people on December 1.”
