Manchester, Lancashire, UK (Mai 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 Lørdag, Juli 9 på 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 vinner på knockout. På April 30 i 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. Siden jeg ble proff i mars 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 Juli 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. I fjor, we scored a clear win over Andriy Rudenko, som var 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.

Den mye etterlengtede mellomvekt oppgjøret mellom regjerende verdensmester Danny Jacobs og tidligere 160-pound divisjon titlist Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin headlines the new Throwdown Fantasy Boxing Game. Jacobs ($5100) er favoriserte over Quillin ($4700) fordi det tidligere er yngre, bigger and hits equally hard. Both are dangerous punchers but Quillin has proven to have the superior whiskers.
Det mest uoverkommelige favoritt i dette spillet er Regis Prograis ($5800) versus underdogAbel Ramos ($4000). Prograis is a rising star whose boxing skills are far superior to always tough Abel Ramos ($4000)
En annen tung favoritt er Fedor Chudinov ($5600) løpet aldrende tidligere verdensmesterFelix Sturm ($4300). Not only has Chudinov already defeated Sturm, han er også yngre, raskere og friskere.
Crafty southpaw Jesus Cuellar ($5400) har størrelse og makt fordeler motJonathan Oquendo ($4300). Cuellar figures to catch Oquendo after a few feeling-out rounds.
Tidligere verdensmester Chris Algieri ($5000) kan ha mistet sine to siste kamper, men de var til Manny Pacquiao og Amir Khan. Algieri’s aggressive style and experience should prove to be the difference against Erick Bone ($4300).

NEW JERSEY (Mai 5, 2015) – Etter HBO VM 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) og 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,” sa 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. Med det blir sagt, 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 fort. “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.”
