Jimmy Williams finally gets his “world title fight”
波士頓 (三月 2, 2021) – New Haven (CT) super welterweight boxer Jimmy “Quiet Storm” Williams will finally get what he calls “his world title fight” tonight against former world champion 尤里·福爾曼 in an 8-round bout for the vacant American Boxing Federation USA super welterweight championship, at the Kentucky Center for African Americans in Louisville, Kentucky.
領班 (35-3, 10 科斯), 的戰鬥布魯克林, captured the World Boxing Association (WBA) super welterweight World title in 2009, when he won a unanimous 12-round decision versus defending champion 丹尼爾·桑托斯 (32-3-1).
“We sparred back when I was a kid when I trained at the Joe Grier Boxing Academy in Patterson, 新澤西州,” Williams explained. “Joe was the one who gave me my nickname, ‘Quiet Storm.’ Yuri is a true world champion. I basically have come from nowhere to share the ring with a world champion. What we’re doing is what boxing is all about. It’s not about age; 他 40 and I’m 34. Age doesn’t mean anything. I’m not a top dog, which is probably why they offered me the fight, but I’m a real fighter who will be in with a world champ. This is my world title fight! 贏, lose, or draw, I’ll be fighting a world champion. I’m not scared of anybody. It’s not about money, it’s who I am, and I always step up to the challenge. This is going to be a great fight.”
威廉姆斯 (16-5-2, 5 科斯) is proud to be one of the rare football players who has succeeded in boxing. He was a standout cornerback at Southern Connecticut State University and invited to several NFL tryout camps. He came close to making the cut with the then-Oakland Raiders.
“I’ve always been a boxer at heart,” Williams said, “so football was easy for me. It was great getting calls from NFL scouts. I walked away from football for boxing. I’m a former Division 2 college football player fighting a world champion. I knew when it was time to leave football, but I’m not ready to leave boxing yet. I don’t need to box. I’m educated, work in the community, and I’m a father. I’m blessed to be boxing and I’ll know when it’s time to hang up my gloves.”
Williams didn’t box until after his mother, Belinda, was murdered in 2008 and her case remains unsolved. He lost his father to cancer.
“This fight for Jimmy is by far the biggest of his career,” Williams manager瑞安·羅奇(Ryan Roach) (Fighter Locker) remarked. “It’s a must win to get him back on track. He knows what he has to do. He made a move to Veloz Boxing in Rhode Island and he’s a different fighter from what he was in his last two fights. Just being around ‘Boo Boo’ (世界冠軍Demetrious Andrade) and those guys there has Jimmy where he needs to be for this fight.”
Williams has been promoted by吉米·伯奇菲爾德’s Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES) since he turned pro in 2013.
“We have a close relationship,” Burchfield commented. “I turned him pro, got him on national television a few times, and even attended his wedding. I’m very proud of him. He’s been tremendously loyal to CES as we have to him. This is a great opportunity. He didn’t hesitate a minute to take this fight. He has a new trainer, Brian Johnson, and Jimmy has been driving bad and forth from New Haven to Providence to train. I think he’s in the top shape of his life, because he knows the importance of this fight. He deserves to have this opportunity.
Something special about his fight tonight against Foreman for Williams, an African American, is fighting at this venue (Kentucky Center for African Americans) in the hometown of his hero,穆罕默德·阿里.
“I’m paying homage to all people who’ve lived my dream,” Williams remarked. “It is what I represent. We’ve lost a lot of people in the last year. Fighting in Louisville is big for me because it’s the home of ‘The Greatest,’ Muhammad Ali. I look at Ali more for his character and what he stood for than his boxing. He stood for something and lost the prime of his career because of it. I try to be like him in terms of who I am. He gave me the confidence be who I want to be in life. I’ve read every book about him. I refuse to give up like Ali. I’m a throwback fighter.”

Promoting more challenging than fighting for Miguel Cotto

聖胡安, 波多黎各 (五月 31, 2018) – Future Hall of Fame boxer 米格爾·庫托 believes that, for him, promoting is even more challenging than fighting.
The living legend retired last December with an incredible 41-6 (33 科斯) 親紀錄, in which he became the only Puerto Rican to capture world titles in four different weights classes, light welterweight through middleweight.
Cotto was 20-6 (16 科斯) 在世界冠軍戰鬥, 16-6 (12 科斯) versus present or past world champions during his illustrious 17-year pro career, including victories against Cesar Bazan, Carlos Maussa,Lovemore N’dou, 蘭德爾·貝利,德馬庫斯科利, Ricardo Torres,保利Malignaggi, Carlos Quintana,朱達, 莫斯利, Joshua Clottey, 尤里·福爾曼, 里卡多·馬約加, Antonio Margarito, 塞爾吉奧·馬丁內斯 和 丹尼爾Geale.
“We have been in the promoting business for more than 13 歲月, combining both roles (fighter and promoter),” Cotto said. “現在, we are able to give more attention to our fighters in terms of training.
“Promoting is more complex because there are challenges regarding every facet of an event. 作為戰鬥機, you concentrate solely on the fight, not all the details involved in promoting a successful event.”
Cotto Promotions is presenting La Batalla: Acosta vs. Buitrago, along with H2 Entertainment, in association with DIRECTV Puerto Rico, 六月 16日 在付費觀看, live from the Coliseo de Puerto Rico Center in Hato Rey, 波多黎各.
綜合體育媒體將分發 La Batalla: Acosta vs. Buitrago card in the United States on cable, 通過iN需求進行衛星和數字按次計費, 無處不在, DIRECTV, DISH and live-streamed worldwide (excluding Puerto Rico) 在 FITE.TV 應用程式和網站 (www.fite.tv), 開始 9 P.M. AND / 6 P.M. PT, 對於只有一個建議零售價 $34.95.
World Boxing Organization Light Flyweight World Champion Tito Acosta 17-1, 17 科斯) will make his first title defense against four-time world title challenger 卡洛斯 “Chocorroncito” Buitrago (30-3-1, 17 科斯), of Nicaragua, in the 12-round main event.
“This pay-per-view card is a very important opportunity for is to showcase a great event,” Cotto added, “as well as a perfect scenario for Acosta to show the world who he is as world champion.
“It is a pleasure for me to give back to boxing what boxing gave me. Seeing our brand grow and fighter development let us know that we are doing things the right way. Our goal is to continue developing the best talent in Puerto Rico and building their brands and legacies.”
The 27-year-old Acosta is on a mission to become a Puerto Rican boxing icon like Cotto, Tito Trinidad, 維爾弗雷多·戈麥斯, 赫克托卡馬喬, 維爾弗雷多·貝尼特斯 and so many other greats from this fertile island.
Acosta’s success brings back fond memories for Cotto to when he was in a similar situation as a young world champion. “He does bring back memories for me and he proves that hard work pays off,” Cotto concluded. “Tito is living the dream every boxer has when they choose to box as a living. Now is the most challenging chapter for him to expand his reign and build his legacy.”
Additional June 16日 PPV fights will soon be announced. 所有戰鬥和戰士都受到變革.
