Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev – WBO, WBA and IBF Light Heavyweight World Champion
“It’s a big moment in my career. I want to thank all of the people who are involved with this fight, my promoter Kathy Duva, Roc Nation and HBO Pay-Per-View. Thank you to all of my fans. It will be a fight to remember; one for the history books. I just want to give the fans a really great fight in Vegas and on HBO Pay-Per-View.”
Andre “S.O.G.” Ward – Two-Time World Champion
“I’m grateful to be here today. I want to thank everyone who is associated with this event—the good, loše, the press, sve to. Obviously HBO, Peter Nelson, Roc Nation, Main Events, everyone who’s associated with it. It’s hard to thank everybody. It’s a lot of people that you guys know of that worked on this fight to get it done. There’s a lot of different nuances that go into getting a fight like this done, but it’s done. That’s what we should all focus on.
“I thank God for this opportunity. I thank God for my career and being able to compete at a high level through the peaks and valleys. Sometimes that gets overlooked, a veteran in the game. I’ve paid my dues and I continue to pay my dues. This is just another opportunity. I’ve been in this position before and so has my opponent. It doesn’t matter what the other side says, how they feel, what they say. He’s got to get it done and I’ve got to get it done. When those bright lights come on who it’s all about who executes and who gets it done. I don’t have to throw chairs. I don’t have to cuss. I don’t have to act crazy. I said let’s fight, lets fight. You’re selling yourself. I know that what I possess and what I have is in me, and not on me.”
Kathy Duva – CEO, Main Events
"Konačno. There was a time when fighters didn’t consider preserving their undefeated records to be paramount to engaging in actual competition. There was a time when undefeated fighters who were heading to the Hall of Fame actually sought out greater and greater challenges as their careers progressed. There was a time when fighters were courageous athletes and not simply cynical businessmen.
“The two men who are here with us today—both in their athletic primes, both unbeaten, a, po mom mišljenju, both heading to the Hall of Fame someday—chose to put their 0’s on the line and face each other to find out just which one of them is the very best. That is why they deserve to earn your pay-per-view dollars, this is what pay per view is supposed to be. That is why we should move heaven and earth in order to come to the beautiful T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas where this fight will take place. That is why the winner will earn the title of best pound-for-pound fighter in the ring.
“Since Ring Magazine began to keep records of the pound-for-pound fighters there have only been two occasions when two unbeaten top five fighters have competed in the ring for pound-for-pound supremacy. The first was Meldrick Taylor vs. Julio Caesar Chavez Sr. u 1994, the second time was Oscar De La Hoya vs Felix Trinidad in 1999. That means that on November 19th, this will be the very first time in the 21st century that such an event will occur in our sport. Let’s hope this is the start of something new, a throwback to the way boxing used to be when it was at its best. Let’s hope it doesn’t take another 17 years before this happens again. Let’s hope all the up and coming young sweet scientists learn and follow the example of these young great athletes who sit here today.
“So as I said, finally, I’m quite pleased to officially announce “Pound for Pound” and that on Subota, November 19th, two of the five best fighters in the whole world will fight each other. WBO, WBA and IBF Light Heavyweight Champion Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev, koji je 30-0, will risk all three of his world titles against two-time world middleweight champion Andre “SOG” Ward, who is also 30-0. The fight will take place in Las Vegas, sponsored by our friends at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, at the beautiful new T-Mobile Arena. Tickets are available now, they’re starting at $155 right now because the box office has already sold out all of the $55 tickets we put on sale. You can only get these tickets at the T-Mobile box office and online through AXS.com. I’m happy to report that tickets at other prices are moving much faster than expected and currently there are very few left at the $755 price point and the $155 price point.
This will be live on HBO Pay-Per-View. The suggested retail price is going to be $54.95. It will be presented by Main Events, Roc Nation Sports, Krusher Promotions and Andre Ward Promotions. In addition to the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, the fight sponsors will be Rosneft and Corona.”

Hughie Fury rated #6 by WBO; Eager to conquer challenges in and out of the ring
Manchester, Lancashire, UK (Svibanj 16, 2016) – Fast rising heavyweight Hughie Fury has been ranked #6 in the world by the World Boxing Organization (WBO).
Fury captured the WBO’s Intercontinental belt April 30 preko 7thround technical decision over awkward Fred Kassi. At 21years old, Fury has a perfect 20-0 professional ledger and stopped ten of his opponents. During the last fifteen months, Fury’s passed multiple tough tests having outpointed noteworthy fighters in Andriy Rudenko, George Arias, Dominick Guinn and Kassi.
On July 9, Fury looks to shine on his biggest stage yet when he faces an opponent to be named in a ten or twelve round fight. The fight will appear on the undercard of the world heavyweight championship showdown between champion Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitschko at the Manchester Arena.
Hungry but humble, Fury is very pleased with his world ranking and plans to win the WBO world championship.
“I’m overwhelmed that the WBO has me listed in the top six in the world,”Rekao je bijes. “I’m a loyal person and will repay the WBO by winning their world title just like my cousin Tyson.”
Even with his notable success and high praise throughout the boxing world, Fury’s been battling a grueling opponent out of the ring that has prevented him from being 100 posto.
According to Dr. Ian R. White, Fury’s suffering from acne conglobata which could result in malaise, fluctuating fevers and joint pain. The condition has to be treated aggressively with medications in order to keep his career progressing.
Srećom, he’s responding well and things are looking up.
“I’ve been dealing with fatigue and a skin problem that caused my body to breakdown. I know people in the boxing world have taken note of this and I appreciate their concern. The good news is I have been given treatment to clear my skin once and for all. Ja sam 21 years old and am going to show the world what I’m about in the next year and hopefully there will be another world champion in the Fury family.”
Fury’s opponent will be announced shortly.
Fans can interact with Fury on Twitter @hughiefury.

WBA privremeni prvak Zhakiyanov i Camp odgovorili na 'Očito lažno’ Glasine koje širi natjecatelj super muha kategorije Zolani Tete
Privremeni WBA svjetski prvak u bantam kategoriji Zhanat “ZZ” Zhakiyanov (26-1, 18 Kos) i njegovi predstavnici sada su prisiljeni odgovoriti na namjerne neistine koje distribuira tim oko južnoafričkog super muhaha Zolanija Tetea. Zhakiyanov iz Petropavla, Kazahstan, je ponosan ratnik, koji je od početka svoje karijere bio spreman suočiti se s bilo kim. To je ono što očito lažne i namjerno obmanjujuće navode Teteovog tabora čini toliko bijesnim.
Tete i njegov menadžer, Mla Tengimfene, hranili su medije izmišljenom pričom koju je Zhakiyanov nedavno povukao iz navodne svađe između njih dvojice, navodno zakazano za Lipanj 4 u Echo Areni u Liverpoolu.
Jedan problem.
Zhakiyanov i njegovi ljudi nikada nisu ni kontaktirani u vezi takve borbe. Nikada nije postojao.
“Nikada ni od koga nisam čuo za ovu borbu,” rekao je Zhakiyanov. “Kažu da ne mogu dobiti težinu i da se zato ne mogu boriti s njim. Nikada se nisam trebao boriti s njim! On i njegovi ljudi pričaju priče.”
Menadžer Zhakiyanov, Philippe Fondu, pita se zašto bi mediji uopće vjerovali da je takva borba ikada postojala kada bi brza provjera WBA pravilnika eliminirala sve priče o takvom meču.
“Neutemeljene su se priče pojavile na internetu o tome da se Zhanat brani protiv Tetea, ali nikad ni od koga nije dobio nikakav konkretan prijedlog, uključujući i njegovog novog promotora Franka Warrena, Nikada nisam obraćao posebnu pažnju na te glasine. Ali budimo iskreni ovdje. Zhanat Zhakiyanov je aktualni privremeni WBA prvak u bantam kategoriji, a Tete zapravo boksa za druge svjetske organizacije (IBF i/ili WBO). Osim toga, Tete je ocijenjeno #9 u WBA super-muha kategoriji (115 lb.). O takvom natjecanju očito se ne bi moglo ni razmišljati, kao privremeni WBA 118-lb. prvak može obraniti svoj naslov samo protiv boksača s najboljim WBA rangom u 15 118 lb. podjela.”
Fondu također kaže da je Zhakiyanov, promovira Hatton Promotions, je u potpunosti sposoban postići ograničenje težine od 118 lb i pozdravlja sve i sve održive prijedloge borbe koje odobri WBA.
“U boksu sam mnogo godina i razumijem korištenje medija kako bi se ime borca tiskalo,” nastavio je Fondu, “ali za to koriste ime prvaka i ponosnog predstavnika njegove domovine Kazahstana i nije u redu. Nadamo se da će mediji u budućnosti postati odgovorniji u provjeravanju činjenica.”
