Manchester, Lancashire, Verenigde Koninkryk (Mei 4, 2016) – Undefeated heavyweight sensation Hughie Fury will appear in a featured bout on the undercard of the world heavyweight championship rematch between unified champion Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitschko Saterdag, Julie 9 by die Manchester Arena.

The bout will take place in front of more than 21,000 fans and be seen by millions more around the world on various television outlets.

Widely regarded as one of the best young heavyweights on the planet, the 21-year-old Fury has an outstanding 20-0 grootboek met 10 oorwinnings deur knockout. April 30 in London, Fury scored a clear-cut technical decision over tricky switch hitter Fred Kassi to capture the WBO Intercontinental championshipwhen the fight was stopped early due to an accidental clash of heads. Sedert hy pro in Maart geword het 2013, Fury’s been matched tough and defeated the likes of Andriy Rudenko, George Arias, Dominick Guinn and the aforementioned Kassi.

Having already faced quality opponents while many young heavyweights build their records against subpar opposition, Fury’s team is looking for another tough challenge Julie 9.

“Hughie Fury is taking fights that no other heavyweights are taking,” said Peter Fury, his father and trainer. “Forget being built up on handpicked opponents, we’re facing guys that are here to win and give us a hard fight. He’s coming off of back to back tough fights. Look at his career so far compared to other prospects. Verlede jaar, we scored a clear win over Andriy Rudenko, wat was 25-1 and his only defeat came via controversial decision to current heavyweight champion Lucas Browne. That will give you an idea where he’s at and I believe he’s the next force in the heavyweight division.”

Fury’s opponent will be announced shortly and the bout will be scheduled for either ten or twelve rounds.

Die veel verwagte middelgewigtitel konfrontasie tussen die verdedigende wêreldkampioen Danny Jacobs en voormalige 160-pond afdeling titlist Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin headlines the new Throwdown Fantasy Boxing Game. Jacobs ($5100) word verkies bo Quillin ($4700) omdat die voormalige is jonger, bigger and hits equally hard. Both are dangerous punchers but Quillin has proven to have the superior whiskers.
Die mees verbod gunsteling in hierdie wedstryd is Regis Prograis ($5800) versus underdogAbel Ramos ($4000). Prograis is a rising star whose boxing skills are far superior to always tough Abel Ramos ($4000)
'N swaar gunsteling is Fedor Chudinov ($5600) oor veroudering voormalige wêreldkampioenFelix Sturm ($4300). Not only has Chudinov already defeated Sturm, hy is ook jonger, vinniger en varser.
Crafty hotklou Jesus Cuellar ($5400) het grootte en krag voordele teenJonathan Oquendo ($4300). Cuellar figures to catch Oquendo after a few feeling-out rounds.
Voormalige wêreldkampioen Chris Algieri ($5000) mag sy laaste twee gevegte verloor het, maar hulle was te Manny Pacquiao en Amir Khan. Algieri’s aggressive style and experience should prove to be the difference against Erick Bone ($4300).
Die beste geveg van die week kan wees tussen die jong, skare behaag Omar Figueroa($5000) en die veteraan Antonio DeMarco ($4200). The aggressive Figueroa must control the pace against DeMarco, wie die beste dae blyk te wees agter hom.
'N swaargewig pick-em beskik oor 'n paar van die moontlike toekomstige wêreld titel uitdagers in Dominic Breazeale ($4800) en Charles Martin ($4700). The big punching, tough Breazeale has holes in his game that he’s been able to overcome against smaller opponents. Martin, egter, is a live ‘dog with the same size as Breazeale and equal power. Meer, hy is 'n Lefty.
Nog swaargewig klas kry 'n vervaag Chris Arreola ($4800) veg Travis Kauffman($4500), who is moving up in clash in terms of quality of opponent. Weight is always an issue with Arreola, which effects his ability to throw punches in bunches. Kauffman wants to push the pace versus Arreola, neem hom in diep water, maar wen rondes langs die pad.

NEW JERSEY (Mei 5, 2015) – Na HBO World Championship Boxing had one of their highest rated shows since 2012 with the Klitschko vs. Jennings championship bout on April 25th, Gary Shaw feels his fighters, Bryant Jennings (19-1, 10 Uitklophoue) en Francisco Santana (22-4-1, 11 Uitklophoue), can make quick comebacks to the big stage.

 

“There is no doubt in my mind that Bryant Jennings and Francisco Santana are fighters the fans want see,” sê Gary Shaw. “The viewership that HBO had on April 25th was fantastic and I believe Jennings and Santana had a lot to do with those high ratings. Jennings because of his activity on social media. Santana because he has a tremendous amount of Latin fans that support him. Met wat gesê word, I believe both fighters, will be back on the big stage in the future.”

 

Bryant Jennings gained a ton of respect for his gallant effort against Klitschko, in which he went the distance, giving Wladimir his toughest fight in recent years, proving he was deserving of a title shot. Francisco Santana, who also went the distance with Sadam Ali, showed remarkable heart as he fought hard in every round, giving the fans their money’s worth.

 

“Bryant Jennings proved he’s an elite heavyweight contender with his performance against Klitschko,” Gary Shaw voortgegaan. “Santana is a Mexican warrior and both fighters gained a lot of fans that night. Both fighters pressed the action, taking the fight to their opponents, bringing excitement to the bout. Many in attendance felt the scores for both Jennings and Santana were not reflective of their fights. It was a lot closer then what the judges scorecards read. Jennings and Santana both love being HBO fighters. I have plans to bring them back to HBO.”
