Manchester, Lancashire, Regne Unit (Maig 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 Dissabte, Juliol 9 al 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 ledger with 10 triomfs per nocaut. A l'abril 30 a Londres, 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. Since turning pro in March 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 Juliol 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. L'any passat, we scored a clear win over Andriy Rudenko, qui va ser 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.

Jacobs ($5100) es veu afavorida sobre Quillin ($4700) perquè el primer és més jove, bigger and hits equally hard. Both are dangerous punchers but Quillin has proven to have the superior whiskers.
El favorit més prohibitiu en aquest joc és Regis Prograis ($5800) front underdogAbel Ramos ($4000). Prograis is a rising star whose boxing skills are far superior to always tough Abel Ramos ($4000)
Un altre gran favorit és Fedor Txudínov ($5600) sobre l'envelliment excampió del mónFelix Sturm ($4300). Not only has Chudinov already defeated Sturm, que també és més jove, més ràpid i més fresc.

L'ex campió del món Chris Algieri ($5000) poden haver perdut les seves últimes dues baralles, però eren de Manny Pacquiao i Amir Khan. Algieri’s aggressive style and experience should prove to be the difference against Erick Os ($4300).

Més, ell és un esquerrà.
Una altra classe de pes pesat troba un desmai Chris Arreola ($4800) lluita Travis Kauffman($4500), who is moving up in clash in terms of quality of opponent.

NEW JERSEY (Maig 5, 2015) – Després 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 KOs) i Francisco Santana (22-4-1, 11 KOs), 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,” va dir 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. Amb això es diu, 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 va continuar. “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.”
