Ως μαχητής, this diversifies my portfolio and puts me in front of a whole different audience. I have an extremely tough fighter in front of me in Paul Smith who’s looking to pull the upset, but I can’t let that happen.

Όπως πάντα, I’m ready to put on a tremendous performance in front of my hometown fans and those watching on BET. This is a fight you don’t want to miss.”
“I cannot wait to get back in the ring and test myself against a class act like Andre Ward. I proved that I belong at the top level with my performances against Arthur Abraham and this is a challenge that I am relishing,” said Smith. “Andre is a top pound-for-pound fighter and someone I respect a lot, but he has only boxed once in almost three years and I will give it everything I have got. I am fresh and confident going into this fight. It’s a massive opportunity for me and one that I took with both hands when it was offered. I have spent a lot of time boxing in the United States and I look forward to returning for this fight.”
Known for his strong character and integrity outside the ring and his killer instinct inside it, Andre Ward’s skill and talent were apparent early in his outstanding amateur career. He racked up every title in the books, culminating with a gold medal in the light heavyweight division at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. As the only male American boxer to claim Olympic gold since 1996, Ward joined the likes of Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard and Oscar De La Hoya. He turned professional on December 18, 2004, scoring a second round technical knockout victory over Chris Molina at Staples Center in a fight that was televised live on HBO. He has gone on to rack up 26 more victories since then, building an ever-growing legion of fans in the process. After becoming the Ring Magazine and WBA Super Middleweight World Champion, rising to the number two spot on the pound-for-pound list and winning the 2011 Fighter of the Year Award (ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Ring Magazine and the Boxing Writers Association of America), it was announced that Ward signed an exclusive promotional agreement with Roc Nation Sports in January 2015, opening a new chapter in his storied boxing career. Now the Bay Area product is ready to return to the ring on Ιούνιος 20 at the Oracle Arena in front of his hometown fans in Oakland, Καλιφόρνια.
Paul “Real Gone Kid” Smith enters his fight against pound-for-pound star Ward coming off of two heroic performances against WBO Super Middleweight World Champion Arthur Abraham. Smith challenged the Armenian-German for his title in Kiel, Germany in September 2014 and put on the performance of his career in his world title first shot. The 32-year-old native of Liverpool was the clear winner of large parts of the fight and celebrated at the bell in front of a hushed partisan crowd that thought that Abraham had been dethroned. Smith was not expecting the wide scorecards that were read out in favor of the hometown fighter and, judging by the far-reaching outrage at the lopsided numbers, neither were the majority of the boxing world and beyond, with Smith receiving support from some of Britain’s biggest sports stars on social media. A rematch was the only possible scenario and, like a true champion, Abraham duly obliged. Smith returned to Germany in February of this year to face Abraham again, this time in Berlin, but Abraham was a different fighter the night of their second fight, successfully defending his belt against a brave challenge from Smith. Once again the judges’ were forced to give a verdict and this time a decision win by Abraham was met with no outcry of controversy. Επί Ιούνιος 20, “Real Gone Kid” will return to the ring and once again venture into hostile territory to take on one of boxing’s best, looking to silence the crowd.
Ward vs. Μεταλλουργός, ένα 12 round bout presented by Roc Nation Sports, λαμβάνει χώρα Σάββατο, Ιούνιος 20 at Oracle Arena in Oakland, Καλιφόρνια, will be televised live on BET and streamed globally on TIDAL.com at 10:00 Μ.μ. ET/7:00 PM PT and is presented in association with Matchroom Sport.

Παρακάτω βρείτε ένα αντίγραφο της επιστολής του Hyde για το WBA:
Dear Chairman Mendoza:
Γράφω ως διαχειριστής του Guillermo Rigondeaux, το Ενιαίο WBA / WBO πρωτοπόρος.
I write to request enforcement of the mandatory. Uniquely in the Super Bantamweight Division Guillermo Rigondeaux is the “Ενιαίο Πρωταθλητής” και Scott Quigg είναι η “Τακτικές Πρωταθλητής.” Clearly as the Regular Champion Quigg is the highest ranked contender in the division. While he was injured he is now back in training and there is no reason why Mr. Rigondeaux δεν μπορεί ή δεν πρέπει να πληρούν υποχρεωτικά τις υποχρεώσεις του κατά του κ. QUIGG.
We are aware that there are some discussions about a bout between Quigg and Frampton. Ωστόσο, έχουμε έρθει σε επαφή με την IBF και δεν θα τιμωρήσει τον αγώνα ενοποίηση με κανέναν άλλο εκτός από το υψηλότερο επίπεδο πρωταθλητής που στην προκειμένη περίπτωση είναι Guillermo Rigondeaux.
Έχουμε σεβασμό δείχνουν ότι είναι καλύτερα να ασχοληθεί με την υποχρεωτική έκδοση τώρα και το αίτημα που Quigg και Guillermo να κατευθύνονται για την έναρξη διαπραγματεύσεων.
Μετά τιμής,
Gary Χάιντ
