Title on the Line for McGivern Vs Iran II on 22nd June


Sometimes there are fights that just capture the Boxing World’s attention, Gatti-Ward, Ali-Frazier, Froch-Kessler, Holyfield-Bowe, Marquéz-Vazquéz etc that afterwards the fans go out of their way demanding a rematch and in some cases a trilogy or more as in the case of Marquéz-Vazquéz!


In each of the cases mentioned above these were prime time internationally broadcast events, however sometimes there’s a fight that slips under the radar of the majority of fans for one reason or another.


One such fight was the Ben McGivern versus Navid Iran ‘Fight of the Year’ nominated Battle Royale back in November last year, which was broadcast live only on Facebook.


Whilst it did pass under the radar of the majority of fans worldwide, it may surprise many readers to learn that after the first fight, so many boxing fans were lighting up Social Media calling for McGivern-Iran II, that Promoter Tommy Jacobs just couldn’t ignore them and so on the 22nd June at the Prince’s Theatre in Clacton-on-Sea these two warriors will enter the arena to battle it out once more, this time for the World Boxing Union (UMA) International Crown.


Back in November McGivern-Iran, battled it out for the vacant Professional Boxing Council (PBC) Silver International Light Heavyweight title was the headline bout on Tommy Jacobs’ history making event, the first professional boxing event in Clacton-on-Sea since 1939, when Mike Kevan beat Charlie Mack.


Battled it out is the correct term; this was a Battle Royale of epic proportions.


Right from the off Iran took the fight to McGivern, backing the Scot onto the ropes and letting rip with a flurry of big left and rights. McGivern sensibly covered up and waited an opportunity to counter, which he did with good effect once the opportunity arose.


However it wasn’t enough to prevent Iran coming back with a similar forceful attack almost immediately. McGivern once again managed to counter and initially take control.


As the round progressed Iran landed a couple of cracking shots that again forced McGivern to cover up. Iran kept up the pressure with big shots, whilst McGivern caught many with his gloves some big rights got through the Scots guard, shaking him to the core.


How McGivern made it to the end of the round is unfathomable, his legs were well and truly gone, but somehow he did.


Round two see Iran come out hard and fast, however McGivern was ready for the assault, again initially covering up but this time instead of just countering and covering, he spun his opponent and went hard on the attack himself.


Round three see McGivern taking the fight to Iran, which led to some great technical boxing ensuing from both protagonists.


The next few rounds were fought in similar vein. The final round though was an out and out war; both boxers throwing caution to the wind and an all out slugfest ensued for the entire final three minutes – what an exhilarating round.


After eight fantastic rounds of boxing it was Ben McGivern declared victorious, but just who will reign victorious on the 22nd June.


Ben McGivern versus Navid Iran II, pour l'Union mondiale de boxe (UMA) International Light Heavyweight Championship is the main support for Nathan Decastro versus Tommy Jacobs for the World Boxing Union (UMA) and World Boxing Foundation Super Middleweight Championships that headlines the show.


Also on the card is a further Championship fight, one that pits St Albans’ Andy Hojdys against Latvia’s Dmitrijs Ovjannikovs for both the World Boxing League (WBL) International and European Boxing League (EBL) European Light Heavyweight titles.


In addition to the three Championship contests, there are also a number of International matches, the first featuring World Boxing Council (WBC) Asia-Pacific Champion, India’s Neeraj Goyat in an eight round non-championship bout against Tanzania’s Amos Mwamakula.


Ipswich’s unbeaten Super Middleweight prospect Rob Elden looks to keep a clean sheet and extend his tally of wins when he faces the highly experienced Nicaraguan hard-man Ronny McField in a six rounder.


Clacton-on-Sea’s undefeated Featherweight Ben ‘The Claxican’ Cook also seeks to increase his win tally, when he faces Pablo Narvaez, who also hails from Nicaragua, dans un quatre rond.


The final Pro bout features Dean Porter, who is eager to get back to winning ways, following his loss to Jack Jones last month.


Porter also faces a Nicaraguan, in this case former International Boxing Organisation (IBO) et World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World Title challenger Michael Isaac Carreo in a four round non-championship contest.


Nathan Decastro versus Tommy Jacobs for the World Boxing Union (UMA) and World Boxing Foundation Super Middleweight Championships headlines the event that takes place at the Prince’s Theatre, Town Hall, Station Road,, Clacton-on-Sea CO15 1SE on Saturday 22nd June 2019.

LONDRES - Février 21, 2019 - Ancien champion des super-moyens à deux fois James DeGale et ancien challenger titre mondial Chris Eubank Jr. faced off at the heated final press conference on Thursday for their 12-round showdown that headlines SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING this Saturday, Février 23 en direct sur Showtime (3:45 p.m. ET/12:45 p.m. PT) from The O2 in London.



DeGale (25-2-1, 15 KOs) and Eubank (27-2, 21 KOs) will finally settle their long-running score when the two outspoken rivals meet in London. In the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING co-feature bout, Olympic Silver Medalist and top prospect Joe Joyce (7-0, 7 KOs) will measure against former WBC Champion Bermane Stiverne (25-3-1, 21 KOs) in a 12-round heavyweight clash.



Ancien champion du monde de deux-division, Chris Eubank Sr., was in attendance and not shy about stating this is not going to be an easy fight for his son. “This is a 50/50 fight and for the first time I am petrified of what the outcome can be. I am petrified that Junior may not win this fight,"Il a dit.



The event is promoted by Poxon Sports and presented by Premier Boxing Champions. Joyce-Stiverne is promoted in association with Ringstar Sports and Don King Productions. The doubleheader will air live in the U.S. exclusively on SHOWTIME and on ITV Box Office in the U.K.



Veteran broadcaster Brian Custer will host the doubleheader from London with combat sportscaster Mauro Ranallo calling the action ringside alongside Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein. Three Hall of Famers will round out the telecast team – Emmy® primé journaliste Jim Gray, l'historien de boxe Steve Farhood comme buteur officieux au bord du ring, et l'annonceur de renommée mondiale Jimmy Lennon Jr.



Here’s what the fighters and their respective camps had to say during Thursday’s press conference at Intercontinental at The O2:



James DeGale:

“I vacated my title for fights like this. Chris Eubank has been calling my name for a long time and finally I get a chance to punch him in his face.



“I have no respect for him. None. This guy is a diluted idiot. And on Saturday night I can’t wait to deal with him. I’m going to come and give it to him properly. He can’t box. We’ve all heard this before.



“This is the biggest fight of his career. It’s retirement time. Whoever loses this fight is finished. It’s do or die on Saturday…His retirement fight is here. It’s his last fight, Je vous promets que.



“I’m proven. Je ai été là, fait que. I’ve won everything. He’s done nothing. And I’m going to retire him.



“Eubank is a tough fighter, il est fort. He has a lot of good attributes, but I’m too good for him. To mix it up and go to the very top you need more than strength and toughness. Every time he’s stepped up, he’s lost.



“The fear of losing is because I know what’s on the line. This is do or die. If I can’t beat him, if I can’t beat Chris Eubank Jr., J'ai fini.



“A lot of people think I’ve seen better days. A lot of people think I’m on the decline. I’ve had issues in the past, but I can honestly say I’m fully fit. I’m in the best shape I’ve been for a long, longtemps, physical and mentally. When I feel like I feel no one can beat me.



“If I can’t beat Chris that means I’m shot, that means I’m over the hill.”



CHRIS EUBANK JR.:

“This guy is a bum. He talks a good game. He’s going to have a good go, but at the end of the day I’m going to be too much for him.



“We are both at a stage where we can’t lose. We are both fighting for our careers. He knows he can’t handle me. He’s asking himself, ‘Can I survive?’ And the answer is absolutely not.



« Il n'y a rien qu'il peut faire dans cet anneau que je ne peux pas gérer. I’m going to box his head off.



“I’ve got a full time trainer now. Pour la première fois dans ma carrière, I have a trainer day in and day out focusing on strategy to prepare me for what James is – a slick southpaw. That’s why I’m so confident. If he wants to run, we have the gameplan. If he wants to stand and swing, we have the gameplan. We have a plan for everything.



“What matters is that James’ career is over in a few days. I sent him a message after he lost to [George] Groves saying he needs to keep up because we are going to fight one day. And now that we’re finally here I look into his eyes and I don’t see a confident guy.



“It’s my time. I’m expecting the best he’s ever been and that’s still not going to be enough.



“I’m a world-level fighter. Anyone in the boxing game knows that. This is my opportunity to prove that once and for all to set the record straight and prove I’m the real deal. I know this is a defining fight in my career. It is do or die and I’m ready for that.



“James knows what’s coming. A la fin de la journée,, his last performances haven’t been up to par, but i don’t think he respected his [past] adversaires. He respects me, and I respect him and that’s why this is a real fight.



“I’ve been in the game for a long time but this is just the beginning of a long journey for me. This is my biggest fight. Je dois gagner. Si je gagne, I’m back on the world stage. Beating James DeGale sets me up for a world title which is the whole reason I started in this game.”





JIM MCDONNELL:

“There are levels to boxing. Chris was a good prospect coming through but he’s not on the same level as James. He’ll find out what it takes to be a world champion. James DeGale is levels above Chris Jr.



“Chris may have all the drive he needs but he doesn’t have the skills to beat James DeGale.



“I know James is not losing. James DeGale is probably the best British fighter I’ve seen in my country.”





CHRIS EUBANK SR.:

“I’ve seen the pinnacle of James and it’s intoxicating. With Chris, not everything I’ve said has been applied. It may have been heard, but not applied. What I said works. I wouldn’t have 19 championship wins if it didn’t.



“I’m not convinced [Chris will win] because James DeGale has pedigree. Being an [olympique] Gold Medalist and former world champion is real. I respect the man’s abilities. Junior hasn’t.



“My son looks at the physical aspect of boxing and, from a physical point of view, I don’t think there is anyone who can stand with him. But boxing isn’t just physical – it’s also spiritual, and that’s where Junior lacks. I don’t know whether he has that.



“This is a 50/50 fight and for the first time I am petrified of what the outcome can be. I am petrified that Junior may not win this fight.



“This is the wisdom of someone who has been here. You never underestimate your opponent based on past performances. Anyone who thinks this guy is on a slide because of past performances is making a mistake.



“From a physical aspect, Junior has the upper hand. From a spiritual aspect and pedigree aspect, James has the upper hand, and that’s why this is a 50/50 lutte.



“I do know Chris has learned and let’s see what is produced. It can be a brilliant fight.”





Paulie Malignaggi:

“I like our chances. I know the guy that I have been in camp with. The things I’ve seen, I like. They are much more positive this time around.



“You can’t underestimate a guy like Eubank. He always comes to win. Mais, regardless of the gameplan, there is a certain mentality and my guy has it. He’s a Gold Medalist and he knows what mentality to bring on Saturday.



“James has won two major world titles, an Olympic Gold Medal. Chris has had some good wins but when he went to that elite level, il a perdu. Chris is a good fighter but he’s not beaten this level of opposition.”

Laisser un commentaire

Two-Fight SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®Telecast Includes Heavyweight Prospect Joe Joyce vs. Veteran Bermane Stiverne; Live On SHOWTIME And The Network’s Streaming Service

 

NEW YORK - Février 6, 2019 - SHOWTIME Sports will present the highly anticipated super middleweight matchup between fierce British rivals James DeGale and Chris Eubank Jr. Saturday, Février 23 live on SHOWTIME from London’s The O2. In the co-featured bout, fast rising prospect Joe Joyce battles former world champion Bermane Stiverne in a 12-round heavyweight clash. The event will air live on air and via the networks’ streaming service at a start time to be announced.


 
Le BOXE CHAMPIONNAT SHOWTIME® event is presented by Premier Boxing Champions on ITV in the U.K. and promoted by Poxon Sports. The co-feature bout is promoted in association with Ringstar Sports and Don King Productions.

 

DeGale (25-2-1, 15 KOs) and Eubank (27-2, 21 KOs) will finally settle their long-running score when the two outspoken rivals finally go toe-to-toe in front of the excitable hometown London crowd in the all-British affair.

 

The 33-year-old DeGale was the first British boxer to win a Gold Medal in the Olympics and a world championship as a professional. He won his world title with a unanimous decision over Andre Dirrell in 2015 and made two successful defenses before fighting to a draw against Badou Jack in 2017. DeGale avenged his December 2017 loss to Caleb Truax to reclaim his IBF Super Middleweight belt in April 2018 sur Showtime. After voluntarily vacating the belt, DeGale stopped veteran Fidel Munoz his last time out.

 

The 29-year-old Eubank Jr., the son of former two-division world champion Chris Eubank, is highly motivated to challenge for more world titles after he lost a unanimous decision to George Groves for the WBA Super Middleweight belt one year ago. The rivalry between DeGale and Eubank has been brewing for several years after a series of run-ins. The duo has sparred each other in the gym and have traded several verbal jabs on social media. Eubank, who has been training in Las Vegas at the Mayweather Boxing Club, has won nine out of his last ten fights and has registered knockouts in eight of those wins.

 

The 6-foot-6 Joyce, de Londres, Angleterre, has started his professional career with a 100 percent KO rate after turning professional in 2017 à l'âge de 32. Un amateur accompli, Joyce claimed the super heavyweight silver medal for Great Britain at the 2016 Jeux Olympiques. Joyce, who trains in Big Bear, Californie. under renowned trainer Abel Sanchez, knocked out Joe Hanks at 2:25 of round one in his last fight on the Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury undercard.

 

Stiverne (25-3-1, 21 KOs), who was the first ever Haiti-born boxer to own a piece of the heavyweight crown, won the WBC title with a convincing sixth-round TKO over Chris Arreola in 2014. Stiverne then lost the belt in his next fight against Deontay Wilder, despite becoming the first fighter to take the current American champion the distance. The 40-year-old has not fought since his loss in the 2017 rematch against Wilder but is anxious to bounce back with a statement win over the highly regarded Joyce.

Decastro: It’s My Destiny To Be World Champion.

Laisser un commentaire

 

 

Bardney, Lincolnshire’s Nathan Decastro (14-0-0) wholeheartedly believes it is his destiny to become World Champion. In just over a weeks time he finally gets the opportunity to make his childhood dream come true, when challenges Accra, Ghana’s Daniel Adjei Sowah (20-6-2) pour l'Union mondiale de boxe (UMA), Super Middleweight Championship of the World at the Glasgow Club in Bellahouston, Glasgow on Saturday the 8th December 2018.

 

Decastro, qui est actuellement classé #6 in the International Boxing Federation (IBF) Intercontinental rankings, earned the shot for the WBU World Crown with a solid points victory over West African Boxing Union (WABU) Champion Agoe Ashong (11-2-0) to secure the Professional Boxing Council (PBC) Commonwealth title at Pride Park in Derby back in September.

 

Speaking from his home earlier Decastro could barely hide his joy at the opportunity to fight for his first World Championship.

 

“Je bourdonnement, I just can’t wait. I mean not only am I fighting for the World title, but will be fighting for it on the undercard of Scott Harrison’s return to the ring, exciting times.

 

“My camps gone really well, I’m feeling fitter and stronger than ever. We’re not leaving anything to chance; we’ve covered every conceivable angle.

 

“My father Frank has made sure of that, he’s a great coach, I really am blessed that he trains me.

 

“We know he’s a banger, but so am I and what’s more I have a better KO ration of 11 en 14 against his 13 en 28 and more importantly I believe I am more hungry for this than him.

 

“It’s been my dream since I started boxing as a youngster to win a World title and now I’m just over a week away from making my dreams come true.

 

“Especially as I am fighting for the WBU Title, we have history with this Championship at the Bracebridge Boxing Club, as Kelly Oliver whose father owns the club also fought for the WBU crown, at Cruiserweight, so have to win it and bring the belt back to the gym I’ve trained at all my career.”

 

Decastro then went on to vent his frustrations over the way bureaucracy had thwarted his previous Championship efforts.

 

“I’ve had a really frustrating year or so, yes I won the Commonwealth title last time out but twice this year I was supposed to challenge for the World title.

 

“Unfortunately bureaucratic red tape caused the fights to be cancelled, either Visa issues came into play, as with the original planned fight against Agoe (Ashong) in July or worse still unnecessary political interference by the EBU, which scuppered the IBF European fight against Ronnie (Landaeta).

 

“This time though it’s different, Daniel has his Visa and the EBU can’t possibly interfere, so no excuses.

 

“It’s my destiny to be World Champion, come 8th December, my dreams will come true, I will be crowned World Champion as I owe it to my legion of fans that have been awesome and so supportive.”

 

Nathan ‘Nightmare’ Decastro versus Daniel Adjei Sowah for the World Boxing Union (UMA) Super Middleweight Championship of the World, is the main support for the highly anticipated return to the ring of two time WBO World Champion Scott Harrison (27-3-2) against Tackie Annan (11-6-0) at the Glasgow Club in Bellahouston, Glasgow on Saturday the 8th December 2018.

 

Billets: Priced £60 (Ringside), 50 £ (Outer Ringside) and £40 (Standard Seating) are available from the Assassin Boxing Promotions Ticket Line: 07594 144433 and on-line at www.tkoboxoffice.com.

McGivern remporte le titre du Light Heavy à la dure lors de l'événement historique de Clacton-on-Sea.

Laisser un commentaire

Ringside Rapport: Gianluca Di Caro

 

On Saturday night at the Princess Theatre in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, Professional Boxing made a most welcome return to the seaside town after almost 80 ans, when Colchester’s Tommy Jacobs presented his latest boxing promotion, aptly titled ‘History’.

 

The previous pro boxing in the town, back in February 1939, see Ireland’s Mike Kavan beat London’s Charlie Mack at the then recently opened Butlin’s holiday camp.

 

Clacton is a town that’s steeped in boxing history, although since the second world war mainly of the Amateur variety, in fact Tommy Jacobs himself fought in the town on numerous occasions during his Amateur career and one of the greats of the sport is immortalized by the restaurant at the bowling alley on Clacton Pier, Armstrong’s, which is named after the American boxer John Henry Armstrong who beat British champion Ernie Roderick also in 1939.

 

It seemed rather appropriate that the very first of the pro boxing contests of this new era should feature the current World Boxing Foundation (WBF) International and European Champion, as well as promoter of the event, Tommy Jacobs, in a non-Championship six round contest against Dundalk, Michael Kelly Irlande.

 

Right from the opening bell Jacobs took to the fight to his highly experienced opponent, albeit with just tentative testing jabs, but as the round progressed the action became more full on, with Jacobs backing up Kelly on to the ropes before letting rip with slick combinations to body and head.

 

Kelly, a previous multi-title challenger in his own right, initially covered up and absorbed the shots but soon began to counter effectively.

 

More of the same early in the second, although must credit Kelly for his slick responses that prevented Jacobs from having quite the same level of success in the first stanza, however as the clock entered the final 20 seconds or so of the round Jacobs started letting rip with big shots to the body with increasing success, so much so that literally in the final seconds Kelly was forced to take a knee after a particularly vicious left.

 

Unfortunately Kelly struggled to catch his breath and rise to his feet in time to beat Referee Lee Murtagh’s count, official time of the stoppage being 2 Minutes and 56 Seconds of the second round.

 

Following the fight Tommy Jacobs announced that the reason he undertook a non-championship six rounder and not the originally planned WBF Intercontinental title fight against Albanian Xhuljo Vrenozi, was that he has been proposed to potentially challenge Australia’s two time World Champion Sam Soliman for the World Boxing Foundation (WBF) World title in December.

 

The second bout of the night see Dean Porter making his professional debut against Liverpool’s Steven Sunners (2-0-0).

What a cracking all action affair, from start to finish both lads really went for it hammer and tongs.

 

After four scintillating closely fought rounds it came as no surprise that the result was going to be close, and close it was, Referee Lee Murtagh’s scorecard reading 39-38 in favour of Liverpool’s Steven Sunners.

 

Next up was a four round Featherweight contest between Clacton’s very own Ben ‘The Claxican’ Cook and Belfast’s Chris Wong, both of whom were making their pro debuts.

 

The first couple of rounds, as with Porter-Sunners, were so closely fought that it wasn’t easy to call the winner of each round, however in the 3rd the decision was made a little easier after Cook landed a cracking body-shot late in the round to send the Irishman to his knees.

 

After four highly entertaining all action rounds Referee Lee Murtagh’s scorecard read 40-37 in favour of local hero Ben Cook.

 

As with the previous contest this was an all action thriller of epic proportions, so much so that it was without doubt it was the Fight of the Night.

 

Have to say really enjoyed this fight and hopefully after this pair get a few fights under their belts there’ll be a rematch as I would love to see these two in action against each other again, ce était bien.

 

The fourth fight of the night see Ipswich Super Middleweight Rob Elden making his pro debut against Liverpool’s Lee Cooper.

 

Elden started hard and fast, taking the fight to his more experienced foe and letting rip with big shots to body and head. Initially Cooper covered up but soon started countering with some big shots of his own, however in doing so left an opening in his defence that the Ipswich man was quick to capitalise on with a big right to the head to send Copper to the canvas.

 

Copper made it to his feet and action resumed in very much the same vein, with Elden backing Copper up before letting rip with big shots, Cooper once again responded with big shots of his own. As the round approached the second minute, once again Elden found a chink in Cooper’s armour and this time landed a big right to the body to send the Liverpudlian to the canvas for a second and final time. Official time of the stoppage was one minute and fifty-nine seconds of the first round.

 

The headline fight of the night see Hove’s Navid Iran and Scotland’s Ben McGivern battling it out for the vacant Professional Boxing Council (PBC) Silver International Light Heavyweight title.

 

Battling it out is the correct term; this was a Battle Royale of epic proportions.

 

Right from the off Iran took the fight to McGivern, backing the Scot onto the ropes and letting rip with a flurry of big left and rights. McGivern sensibly covered up and waited an opportunity to counter, which he did with good effect once the opportunity arose.

 

However it wasn’t enough to prevent Iran coming back with a similar forceful attack almost immediately. McGivern once again managed to counter and initially take control.

 

As the round progressed Iran landed a couple of cracking shots that again forced McGivern to cover up. Irann kept up the pressure with big shots, whilst McGivern caught most with his gloves a big right got through the Scots guard, shaking him to the core.

 

How McGivern made it to the end of the round, I just don’t know, his legs were well and truly gone, but somehow he did.

 

Round two see Iran come out hard and fast, however McGivern was ready for the assault, again initially covering up but this time instead of just countering and covering, he spun his opponent and went hard on the attack himself.

 

Round three see McGivern taking the fight to Iran, which led to some great technical boxing ensuing from both protagonists.

 

The next few rounds were fought in similar vein. The final round though was an out and out war; both boxers throwing caution to the wind and an all out slugfest ensued for the entire final three minutes – what an exhilarating round.

 

After eight fantastic rounds of boxing it was Ben McGivern declared victor by scoring referee Lee Murtagh, par un 79-74 points de marge.

 

Have to say whilst definitely the right result, the result just doesn’t convey just how close each and every round, but the first, était. These two really put on a magnificent show and was a serious contender for the Fight of the Night award.

 

What a great event to welcome pro boxing back to Clacton-on-Sea after a close to eighty-year hiatus, a return clearly appreciated by fans of the pugilistic arts who had packed the historic venue to the hilt almost an hour before the event was scheduled to begin.

Voici ce que Wilder et Deas avaient à dire jeudi au jour des médias, où Wilder a été rejoint par sa petite amie Telli Swift et leur fille âgée de huit mois Kaorii:

 

Deontay Wilder

 

 

 

“Je sens que je suis à mon meilleur moment. Mentalement, Je suis physiquement et émotionnellement prêt à. Tout est parfait. Je veux juste monter sur le ring et de montrer l'action. Tyson Fury ne sait pas ce qu'il se qui est obtenu en.

 

 

 

“Comme un vrai champion, Je sais comment adapter à tout combattant qui est devant moi. Mon expérience face à des combattants de tous les styles m'a préparé pour ce combat spécial.

 

 

 

“J'ai eu sparring énorme. Chaque jour, je fais des ajustements et me faire droit afin que je puisse obtenir mon timing et le style exactement comment il doit être. Si le combat était ce week-end, Deontay Wilder est prêt à.

 

 

 

“Luis Ortiz était le combattant le plus évité dans la division des poids lourds et je comprends pourquoi il n'a jamais eu le coup de titre avant. Je suis le genre de combattant qui donne aux gens des occasions et il a été le combattant que je devais faire face à prouver au monde ce que je suis tout à propos de.

 

 

 

“Ce n'est pas un jeu pour moi. Tout le monde a entendu parler de ce qu'il est d'être dans le ring avec moi, mais jusqu'à ce que vous êtes là-bas, vous ne savez pas sûr que ce que vous avez entendu est pour de vrai. Je suis le meilleur du monde. Je ne pense pas que des poids lourds a été par ce que je suis passé par.

 

 

 

“Je suis une formation pour un certain type de mission. En tant que combattant je dois avoir l'état d'esprit que je dois être prêt à tout. Puis, une fois qu'il est temps que la cloche sonne, Je deviens « Le bombardier Bronze ».

 

 

 

“Fury a une hauteur comme moi et il apporte aussi un style maladroit comme moi. Il est longiligne, mobile et il croit qu'il est le meilleur dans le monde. Vous aurez deux géants qui sont athlétiques et se déplacer autour de l'anneau comme personne d'autre dans ce sport.

 

 

 

“Ils disent que j'ai le pouvoir et il a les compétences de boxe. Nous verrons sur Décembre 1. Il est un cogneur par rapport à un boxeur. Je pense que le perforateur va boîte ses lumières, et puis je vais frapper ses lumières.

 

 

 

“Je ne regarde pas trop le film ou l'étude gars passé obtenir leur style vers le bas et voir comment ils utilisent leurs styles. Mes formateurs regarder le film et utiliser ces connaissances pour me donner des conseils tout au long de la lutte. Je trouve que mes adversaires se battent différemment selon qui ils sont confrontés, donc je ne peux pas demeurer trop à regarder des combats passés.”

 

JAY belle, Entraîneur de Wilder

 

 

 

“Tyson Fury est un peu comme un cube Rubik. Mais un cube de Rubik peut être résolu. Fury est un combattant très polyvalent qui peut se déplacer, il peut boîte et se battre de beaucoup de distances. Il est tout le paquet en tant que combattant et au-dessus de ce qu'il est fort mentalement entêté.

 

 

 

“Nous avons nos mains pleines, mais je sais que Deontay Wilder est le gars à gérer Tyson Fury. Deontay est le gars droit de reprendre la boxe et c'est la première étape dans cette.

 

 

 

“Deontay a eu un camp fantastique et nous avons eu de très bons sparring partenaires. Fury est un combattant de haut, mais il est vraiment la sportivité qui lui fait ce qu'il est. Nous croyons que nous sommes mieux de trouver des gars plus athlétiques qui sont légèrement plus courtes que Fury, plutôt que quelqu'un de sa taille qui est une statue.

 

 

 

“Heureusement Deontay a toujours été un combattant ciblé, afin de garder lui, je ne pense pas bien mentalement sera jamais un problème. Deontay peut gérer tout le chaos autour de lui mieux que quiconque que je l'ai vu. Quand il dit qu'il est l'homme pour ce travail, il veut vraiment.

 

 

 

“La chose difficile à préparer pour Tyson Fury est que lui-même ne sait pas exactement ce qu'il va faire là-dedans. Il peut combattre lefty, righty, sale ou propre. Nous travaillons d'être préparé pour toutes ces choses et plus.

 

 

 

“Les deux gars sont très athlétique et très sage maladroit, mais une fois que ce combat combusts, il va être phénoménal. Vous ne voulez pas cligner des yeux ou aller à la salle de bain, les bretzels peuvent attendre, parce que vous allez vouloir attraper chaque seconde.”
