“Jermall Charlo is a can’t miss attraction and one of the brightest stars in boxing,” a déclaré Tom Brown, Président de TGB Promotions. “He’ll look to make the second defense of his WBC Middleweight Championship in his fourth appearance at Barclays Center on December 7. He’ll have his hands full with the hard-charging Dennis Hogan, who many believe should be a 154-pound champion and should have earned the decision over junior middleweight champion Jaime Mungia. That performance has put him right back in a position to fight for a title and there’s no doubt that him and Jermall are going to leave it all in the ring and give fans a great fight live on SHOWTIME.”
“Jermall Charlo is one of those rare athletes who creates a spectacle every time he steps in the ring, et Décembre 7 sera pas différent,” said Stephen Espinoza, Président, Sportif & Programmation de l'événement, Showtime Networks Inc. “Jermall is the complete package – vitesse, puissance, athleticism and elite talent – so it is no surprise that he is one of the most avoided boxers in his division. Dennis Hogan deserves credit for stepping up to a challenge which many other middleweights wouldn’t. Hogan is a tough, aggressive fighter who many believe should already be a world champion. This is an intriguing clash of styles and personalities.”
“We’re looking forward to hosting another great night of Brooklyn Boxing and to welcoming Jermall Charlo back into our ring for the fourth time,” said Keith Sheldon, EVP of Programming and Development for BSE Global. “December’s matchup against Dennis Hogan exemplifies our ongoing commitment to bringing world class fights to Barclays Center featuring the sport’s most exciting stars.”
The undefeated Charlo (29-0, 21 KOs) is one of the most exciting young champions in the sport. He and his twin brother, Jermell, were super welterweight champions simultaneously between 2015-17 before Jermall decided to move up to middleweight. Charlo won the IBF Junior Middleweight title with a thrilling TKO victory over Cornelius Bundrage in 2015. He made three successful defenses, including a victory over current unified champion Julian Williams, before moving up to middleweight.
The 29-year-old has proven to be just as dominant at 160 pounds as he was at 154, with three convincing performances since moving up in weight. Charlo will be making his second defense of the WBC middleweight title and fighting for the fourth time at Barclays Center. In a homecoming defense in June on SHOWTIME, he successfully defended the title against Brandon Adams with a unanimous decision in his first bout since being elevated to full champion. In his last fight at Barclays Center he shared the card with his twin brother, Jermell, and came away with a hard-fought unanimous decision over tough veteran Matt Korobov last December.
“Nobody knows Dennis Hogan like I know Dennis Hogan,” Saïd Charlo. “He likes to come straight forward with that ‘Mexican’ style. Je vais exploiter cette. Il est un combattant dur et il mérite une chance au championnat du monde parce que il a participé bien au niveau du championnat déjà.
“Je vais sur deux consécutifs de 12 Rounders et je ne me sens pas bien à ce sujet. Je suis prêt à revenir à mon truc, qui les frapper et de les sortir de là. C'est un grand combat pour moi parce que c'est mon 30e combat et je suis sur le point tourner 30.”
Hogan (28-2-1, 7 KOs) est vient de connaître une perte de décision majoritaire très mince à Jaime Munguia dans un super match de mi-moyens du championnat du monde en Avril 13 où beaucoup pensaient que Hogan a fait assez pour arracher la victoire. Le 34-year-old, qui est né en Irlande et vit maintenant dans le Queensland, Australie, est à la recherche d'une victoire nette sur Charlo dans son premier U.S. combat depuis 2016. Hogan a mis en place un combat de six victoires consécutives avant la lutte pour le titre contre Munguia.
“Je suis très heureux pour la possibilité de contester la ceinture la plus prestigieuse dans la boxe, le WBC titre mondial contre Middleweight Jermall Charlo au Barclays Center,” m'a dit Hogan. “Il ne devient pas plus grand que les combats dans Brooklyn sur SHOWTIME contre le champion invaincu poids moyen. Après la déception que je fait face en Avril au Mexique, après avoir été escroqué de la WBO moyen junior titre mondial que je crois fermement que je gagnais, Je suis extrêmement reconnaissant d'avoir une autre occasion de devenir un champion du monde.
“En tant qu'Irlandais, Je me sens à la maison à New York et ont aucun problème voyageant à l'étranger une fois de plus pour réaliser mon rêve. J'ai participé avec succès à mi-lourds et moyens en tant que professionnel et je sentirai plus fort avec les six supplémentaires livres sur Décembre 7. Je suis reconnaissant à Jermall et son équipe pour travailler avec mon l'équipe de fournir cette occasion. Je serai préparé et prêt à briller.”

WBC Super Welterweight Champion Tony Harrison Injures Ankle & is Forced to Withdraw from Rematch Against Former Champion Jermell Charlo
Hard-Hitting & Dangerous Jorge Cota to Step In and Replace Harrison Sunday, Juin 23 in FOX PBC Fight Night on FOX & FOX Deportes Main Event at Mandalay Bay Events Center
in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (Juin 3, 2019) – Champion du monde des super mi-moyens Tony Harrison injured his ankle in training last week and has withdrawn from his title defense against former world champion Jermell Charlo that was scheduled to headline FOX PBC Fight Night on FOX and FOX Deportes Sunday, Juin 23 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
Harrison has an inner and outer ankle sprain with torn ligaments in his right ankle and he will be out for 10 weeks before he can resume training. Harrison and Charlo plan to have their rematch later this year.
Stepping in to replace Harrison for a 12-round fight is the always dangerousJorge Cota (28-3, 25 KOs), who most recently lost a disputed split-decision in April on FS1 against Jeison Rosario. The 31-year old from Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico had scored three straight knockout victories before the defeat in April.
“Watching my Mexican brother Andy Ruiz fight last weekend, I am very motivated,” said Cota. “I saw how he got an unexpected chance to become a champion and surprise the world. He has inspired me to win this fight in the same way. I will shock the world on June 23 just like Andy did on Saturday, for Mexico, the country that I love. This is the most important fight of my career.”
“As we have seen from Andy Ruiz’s incredible upset of Anthony Joshua in the heavyweight championship fight on Saturday night, replacement fighters are not to be taken as a joke,” a déclaré Tom Brown, President of TGB Promotions. “Jorge Cota is a dangerous fighter. He has heavy hands and he’s looking for an opportunity to make a statement. Jermell Charlo realizes just how serious this is and he wants to get his title back. I know he’s going to be prepared to make his own statement.”
The 29-year-old Charlo will now have to wait for his opportunity to avenge the only loss of his career and regain his title against Harrison. Combats de Houston, Texas, Charlo won the vacant WBC title with a devastating knockout victory over John Jackson in 2016. He made three successful defenses of the title with highlight-reel knockouts over Charles Hatley and Erickson Lubin, plus a majority decision win over former champion Austin Trout.
“It feels like a heartbreak,” Saïd Charlo. “I was ready to destroy Tony Harrison and now I’m going to get in there and destroy Cota. I always pray for my opponent to have safe care and make it to the fight healthy. It’s unfortunate that Tony Harrison isn’t my next victim. I want the best Harrison so I want him healed up and ready to go, because that will only bring out the best in me.
“I feel my title was taken from me and being held hostage and I want it back. I will go through anything to get it back. The moment he’s cleared to fight I want the match and I will get my title back. I’m going in June 23 for a dominant victory with a ferocious attitude and a mindset to destroy, because I know I can’t leave it to the judges anymore.”
Harrison’s injury is the latest twist in the super welterweight division that started last December when Harrison and Charlo’s first encounter took place live on FOX. Harrison won the decision to upset Charlo and take away the title. The close nature of the bout helped warrant an immediate rematch that promises to be just as highly charged and dramatic. Julien “J-Rock” Williams scored a hard-fought unanimous decision over Jarrett Hurd as the IBF and WBA titles changed hands as well in May.
This setback for Harrison, who is from Detroit and was trained early in his career by the late Emanuel Steward, is another challenge for the 28-year-old champion. Harrison was on track for a title shot before suffering the first loss of his career in 2015 to Willie Nelson. After three-straight wins, he earned a shot at the vacant 154-pound title against Jarrett Hurd. Although Harrison had strong moments in the fight, he eventually lost to Hurd and was forced to again climb to the top. After another three victories, including a win over former champion Ishe Smith, Harrison took advantage of his second world title opportunity against Charlo.
