Zhang ZHILEI – “HRGOVIĆ IS NO BOOGEYMAN”

Leave a comment

Undefeated heavyweight Zhang “Big Bang” Zhilei (23-0-1, 18 Kos) is looking for big fights in 2022. Zhang, who is coming off of a second-round knockout of Craig Lewis, is world-ranked in both the IBF and WBO and wants to fight a top heavyweight so that he can earn a title shot.

The division is opening up after a flurry of recent activity at the end of 2021. With its mandatory contender position vacant, the International Boxing Federation is trying to set up a final eliminator. Contenders Luis Ortiz and Joseph Parker, both of whom are fresh off big wins, ducked their chance to fight #3 ranked Filip Hrgović (14-0, 12 Kos). na Cróite. The IBF will continue to go down its rankings in order until one of the contenders agrees to fight Hrigović.

Zhang vows that if asked, he would take on the Croatian in a battle of 6’6’’ big men.

“I don’t understand why top heavyweights are turnin this down.” Said the former Olympic silver medal winner. “Hrgovic is no boogeyman. I’ve made it known that if my name comes up, I’ll step up and take it.”

And if a showdown with Hrigovic does not materialize, an 38 year-old Zhang is ready for any of the big names.

“I’m not getting any younger, and I have told my promoter that I want to make a big move," Said Zhang, listing off of top heavyweights such as Joseph Parker and Dereck Chisora – all of whom share the same promoter, Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom.

“My ultimate goal is to become world champion and I need fights that put me on that path. I will fight anyone. I want a big opportunity and all I am asking for is fair compensation. I am ready now.”

“What better way to bring attention to child abduction, which is a big problem in this country then to be in the ring and help get the message out there.”

Tá tú guys a fhios ach go bhfuil mé dírithe agus faoi ghlas i cosúil mé i gcónaí. Tá mé ullmhaithe agus tá mé réidh le haghaidh cogaidh teacht Márta 26."

SULLIVAN BARRERA, Uimhir amháin rátáil IBF contender trom éadrom:

"Bhí mé a rá go raibh maith agat as teacht anseo. Ba mhaith liom a rá go raibh maith agat HBO, go raibh maith agat le gach duine. Go raibh maith agat Andre Ward as glacadh mo troid. Geallaim gach duine a thagann go dtí an réimse go bhfuil mé go raibh ullmhúchán mór agus tá sé seo le aisling mhór. Ar an oíche sin, caithfidh me seó mór do gach duine. "

DAVID ITSKOWITCH, COO Dornálaíochta - Roc Nation Spóirt:

"Dhá cheann de na heavyweights solas barr ar an phláinéid a collide ar Márta 26. Tá siad taifead comhcheangailte 45-0 le 27 Kos agus gá é a rá, ní tasted defeat mar gairmiúil. Cé go bhfuil gach fear a chéile comhraic formidable roimh dó, tá siad an dá gcuid súl ar Sergey Kovalev agus a vehicle teideal trí domhan, ach an chéad caithfidh siad gnó a bheith i láthair go ar an Satharn oíche.

 

"Aon uair a thagann mé i gcrích go dtí Oakland do imeacht agus tá mé le Andre ag ócáid ​​ina bhfuil sé ag labhairt leis na meáin, baineann sé liom go léir, tá sé ina tallann speisialta athletically, ach tá sé chomh maith le duine ar leith agus tá súil agam gach duine anseo i Oakland thuigeann agus tuigeann go. Tá sé ina fhear teaghlaigh phrionsabálta a dhéanann iarracht i gcónaí a dhéanamh ar an rud ceart agus go bhfuil rud éigin go bhfuil annamh sa saol na laethanta, ach is annamh go háirithe i spóirt. Tá súil agam go mbainfidh tú guys taitneamh dó. Ní gá Dornálaíochta gairmeacha seo caite go deo. níl sé ag dul a bheith ag troid go deo, mar sin ba chóir gach duine a thuiscint cad a bhfuil tú anseo i Andre Ward.

 

"Andre gabhadh bonn óir ag na Cluichí Oilimpeacha na hAithne agus an U.S caite. dornálaí a bheith déanta amhlaidh. A liosta na foes vanquished léann cosúil le a hiad an roinn i mBoston Super. mó sé agus leag amach iar domhain curadh éadrom trom, Chad Dawson ina 2012 showdown. Ina troid seo caite, mó sé dhá-am teideal domhan iomaitheoir Paul Smith ar Meitheamh 20 ag Oracle Arena. ag tabhairt ar an chéad chaibidil eile de shaol oibre ar Márta 26, ag filleadh ar Oracle Arena arís, mar a dhéanann sé a aistriú suas go dtí an rannán trom solas réidh a dhéanamh cad a rinne sé sa roinn i mBoston Super ... ghlanadh amach agus a dominating do gach duine a sheasann ina bhealach. "

NICOLE DOVE, Leas-Uachtarán na Margaíochta agus Abhcóide Ginearálta - Príomh Imeachtaí:

"Ba mhaith liom i ndáiríre a ghabháil le Andre Ward. Ní raibh sé a ghlacadh ar Trodaire undefeated ina chéad troid ag trom éadrom, ach rinne sé é agus sílim go bhfuil moladh.

 

"Ina troid seo caite, Tháinig Sullivan an contender éigeantach do crios IBF Sergey Kovalev ar. D'fhéadfadh sé a bheith shuigh ar ais agus d'fhan as a chuid troid teideal, ach ina ionad sin chonaic sé an troid in aghaidh Andre Ward mar dheis chun teacht i ndáiríre le haghaidh greatness agus rinne sé go. Mar is eol duit go léir, tá imeachtaí Main agus Roc Nation Spóirt pleananna mór do Andre Ward agus Sergey Kovalev déanaí i mbliana agus Sullivan Barrera féidir trína chéile i ndáiríre go cart úll.

 

"Tá an dá na fir, Sullivan agus Andre, Tá gach rud marcaíocht ar thoradh na Dé Sathairn gcomhrac. San aeráid go bhfuil muid i dornálaíocht ceart anois, is refreshing a fheiceáil laochra fíor nach bhfuil eagla a rioscaí a ghlacadh. An bheirt acu ag dul ár meas agus admiration don. Tá sé seo cad ba cheart ár spórt a bheith faoi.

 

"Is Sullivan Barrera undefeated le taifead ar 17-0 le 12 Bhuaigh teacht ar mhodh knockout. Iompaigh sé díreach 34, mí ó shin, a d'fhéadfá smaoineamh go bhfuil beag d'aois ar an bpointe seo ina shaol. Cad é nach mbeadh a fhios agat go bhfuil go raibh sé ar ghairm amaitéarach rathúil i gCúba agus ansin chaill roinnt blianta dá príomh agus é ag defecting dtí na Stáit Aontaithe. Sé teacht ar bhealach fada i ndáiríre a bheith anseo inniu ar an láthair agus an deis seo. Tá sé ocras, Tá sé muiníneach agus tá sé réidh. "

VIRGIL HUNTER, oiliúnóir Andre Choimircí:

"Is é seo an cárta iontach le lúthchleasaithe iontacha atá ag iarraidh a dhéanamh ar a mbealach i saol na dornálaíochta. Dá troid ar siúl in aon chathair eile, bheadh ​​sé ina ócáid ​​mhór. Cad ba mhaith linn a dhéanamh ná a dhéanamh cinnte go dtuigeann Oakland, agus go dtuigeann an Limistéar Bay máguaird, an méid imeacht seo ionas gur féidir linn leanúint ar aghaidh den scoth dornálaíochta thabhairt chuig Oakland. Is Oakland talamh le haghaidh pórú trodaithe barr agus ní mór dúinn cheana féin iad. An níos mó go bhfuil tú tacaíocht a thabhairt dúinn, an níos mó go mbeidh na troideanna a bheith infheicthe agus feicfidh tú an am mór ag an mbarr.

 

"Deir siad líonraí eile a dhéanamh trodaithe, ach déanann HBO réaltaí, mar sin tá áthas orainn a bheith mar chuid de seo. Iarraimid ort le teacht amach agus tacú leis an gcomhrac. Tar ar amach Dé Sathairn oíche agus taitneamh a bhaint as díbh féin le haghaidh oíche mhaith de dornálaíochta barr. "

"Ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghabháil gach ceann de na daoine a chur le chéile an ócáid ​​Super ar an Satharn. Táimid anseo chun chur ar an seó mór agus Sullivan Tá gach rud a dhéanamh chun ullmhú féin don imeacht seo.

Tar éis Shadowboxing i an fáinne agus roinnt babhtaí ar na málaí punching, na ceithre trodaithe páirt in agallaimh le baill meáin i láthair. Super Bowl Champion agus Oakland dhúchais Marshawn Lynch, avid Andre Ward tacaíocht, rinne cuma speisialta i rith na workout chun tacú Ward.

 

Anseo thíos tá an méid a bhí an trodaithe a rá le linn an workout meáin deiridh:

 

ANDRE WARD, Dhá-Ama Champion Domhanda agus barr-ráta punt-do-punt Trodaire:

"Is dóigh liom go maith agus tá mé réidh chun dul. Tá mé ag buactha ag an am ceart. Tá mé díreach ar bís chun é a fháil ar an Satharnoíche.

 

"Úsáid mé a thiomáint ag Oracle Arena ar 880 mar kid ar mo bhealach go dtí an Rí Giomnáisiam agus iontas más rud é go raibh mé in ann é a dhéanamh ansin lá amháin agus [oiliúnóir] Veirgil [Hunter] a úsáidtear a rá go muiníneach, 'Tá tú ag dul go dtí ceannlíne ann.' Mar a fuair mé níos sine, Bhain mé úsáid as chun dul go dtí roinnt de na cártaí a chur ar i réimse. Bhí mé fós amaitéarach agus ba mhaith liom a aisling díreach. Rud eile a fhios agat, i 2009, Bhí mé i doirteal nó snámh comhrac in aghaidh Edison Miranda. Má bhuaigh mé, bhí dócha go seans maith go mbeadh mé a fháil lámhaigh teideal agus tá an chuid eile stair. Anseo tá muid arís, bhfuil sé ar mo 7ú am Oracle agus tá sé fós ina blessing.

 

"Ba é an t-am ceart chun gluaiseacht chuig trom solais. Ba meascán de nach bhfuil na guys ceart dul i ngleic nó guys nach raibh ag iarraidh a troid liom. Ba mhaith liom a bheith iontach. Is iad seo na cineálacha bogann a bhfuil tú a dhéanamh. Tá mé mac léinn de spóirt agus nuair mé staidéar ar an spórt, is é seo an méid atá greats dhéanamh i gcónaí. Bhogann siad suas. Na cinn mór a fháil ar bhealach a fháil déanta agus ba mhaith liom a bheith sa chomhrá.

 

"Is Barrera comhlacht mór. Tá sé muiníneach. Cosúil le bheith ina pollaire maith. Ní raibh muid ag piocadh air mar tá sé i dteagmháil bog. Phioc muid é toisc go raibh sé ag dul a fháil réidh dom agus a thaispeáint dom cad é seo an rang meáchan ar fad faoi. Má fhéachann tú ar mo shaol, níl áit le haghaidh tune-ups nach bhfuil mé go raibh a lán de na. Ba mhaith leat dul i ngleic leis an chuid is fearr agus mura bhfuil tú ag troid an chuid is fearr, ba mhaith leat dul i ngleic leis an uimhir amháin contender. Sin an méid atá ar siúl againn.

 

"Sílim go bhfuil mé ag teacht chun cinn isteach i Trodaire éifeachtach. Tá mé ag bogadh nuair a tá mé ag bogadh. Sílim go bhfuil an áilleacht aon lúthchleasaí nach mí-úsáid a chorp agus i ndáiríre go rachaidh a cheird dáiríre. Mé le feiceáil roinnt earraí ag éileamh gur chaill mé mo príomh. Tá sé ar mire dom. Is dóigh liom go bhfuil mé chomh maith mar tá mé riamh. Tá mé i seomra aclaíochta dornálaíochta gan mórán de sos ar feadh an am atá caite 20 bliana. Mo inchinn buíochas leis dom ar feadh dhá bhliain anuas. Mo chorp ghabh sé buíochas dom. D'fhéadfadh sé a thabhairt dom dhá bhliain i mo shaol.

 

"Caithfidh mé a bheith mise amháin. Cé mise go leor. Ní dóigh liom go teacht i láthair don Kovalev sa slua ar an Satharnoíche. Ní mór dúinn ach chun an plean a chur i bhfeidhm cluiche. I mo thuairimse, go bhfuil dul a sheoladh chuig an teachtaireacht tá sé ceaptha a sheoladh agus más rud é nach ndéanann sé, ansin beidh sé [Kovalev] an teachtaireacht nuair ag troid linn a.

 

"Más rud é nach féidir liom a bhuaigh an troid, níl rud ar bith síos an bóthar. Mura féidir liom bhuaigh an troid, ní féidir liom dul chun troid ar son an teideal. Sin an réaltacht mo scéal.

 

"Riamh Barrera throid Guy cosúil liomsa os, ionas gur féidir leo labhairt cluiche maith. Is féidir leo a tionchar an-mhór na ceannlínte roimh an gcomhrac. Is féidir leo a rá go léir an stuif slick mian leo a rá. Ba mhaith linn ach a tionchar an-mhór na ceannlínte Dé Domhnaigh maidin tar éis an troid thar. Sin an méid mé dírithe ar. "

 

SULLIVAN BARRERA, Uimhir amháin rátáil IBF contender trom éadrom:

"Tá mé níos láidre ná Ward. Tá mé an cúlra Chúba agus d'fhoghlaim mé a lán de na scileanna ann. Níos mó ná rud ar bith, Beidh an cinneadh aon rud i os comhair dom a shárú cabhrú liom defeat Ward ar Márta 26.

 

"Chomh luath agus tá mé an fáinne, tá sé ar mo theach.

 

"Tá Cibé rud Ward, Beidh mé i dtaithí ar dó agus é a shárú.

 

"Tá mé dhá lámh. Tá sé dhá lámh. Tá mé post le déanamh ar Márta 26.

 

"Tá a fhios agam Ward agus Kovalev bhfuil meas an-ard agus cruthaíonn siad a lán airgid agus a lán de leas, ach níl a fhios acu cad é Sullivan Barrera in ann a dhéanamh. Beidh mé a chruthú go ar an Satharn.

 

"Níl mé i ndáiríre Guy go bhfuil a chuardach le haghaidh knockout. Mo scileanna dornálaíochta son féin de. Tá mé ag troid Andre Ward agus troid anseo i Oakland, mar sin ní dóigh liom go mbeidh cinneadh a rinneadh i mo bhfabhar.

 

"Chun go léir an lucht leanúna, go háirithe an lucht leanúna Chúba a thug tacaíocht dom le do thoil a fhios a thagann Dé Sathairn, Tá mé ag dul gach rud a bhfuil mé a dhéanamh le teacht amach victorious a dhéanamh. "

JOSEPH DIAZ JR., NABF featherweight Champion:

"Ní féidir liom bheith ag súil cad a rinne Jayson le Ronny Rios linn an troid. Tá mé chun dul i ann, thástáil air amach agus a choigeartú nuair atá mé an fáinne.

 

"Má léiríonn an deis féin nuair atá sé gortaithe agus feicim go bhfuil mo chuid punches déanamh damáiste dó, ansin ar ndóigh tá mé ag dul a fháil i ann, bheith ionsaitheach agus bí cinnte go dtógfaidh mé amach chomh luath agus is féidir.

Hooker, rated number seven by the WBO, is coming off of a career-best win on October 17, 2015 against his toughest opponent to date in Ghislain Maduma (17-2, 11 Kos) ag Madison Square Garden. Hooker successfully defended his NABO title with the 10-round decision win over Maduma on the undercard of Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux in a fight that was featured on the event’s “freeview” in the United States and streamed online around the world. Buelvas, a former WBA Fedebol champion, has won two of his last three bouts by knockout and fought Humberto Soto for the WBC Silver International Super Lightweight title in 2014, going the 12-round distance before losing a decision to the former World Champion.

 

Born and raised in Oak Cliff, Texas, a rough suburb of Dallas, Hooker found a boxing home at Maple Avenue Boxing Gym by way of an outreach program for at-risk youths. His natural talent was soon noticed resulting in him competing as an amateur, during which time he participated in over 100 troideanna, compiling a record of 97 Bhuaigh agus ní raibh ach 7 caillteanais, le 67 victories coming by way of knockout.

Undeterred, in his next fight on June 24, 2014, Hooker scored his first professional win, knocking out Wilbert Mitchell in the first round at the Dr. Pepper Arena in Frisco, Texas. Eleven wins (eight by knockout) later, he took on undefeated Abel Ramos (8-0, 4 KO s) ar Eanáir 17, 2014 in a bout that was featured on ShoBox from the Cook Convention Center in Memphis. After eight close, hard-fought rounds, the judges saw the fight a draw. Hooker followed the draw with a six-round unanimous decision win over Adrian Rodriguez Garza (8-2, 6 KO s) ar Aibreán 26 at Fitzgerald’s Casino and Hotel in Tunica, Mississippi. Four consecutive knockout victories would follow before he took on fellow undefeated prospect Eduardo Galindo (10-0-1, 7 KO s) ar Meitheamh 26, 2015 at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas for the vacant NABO Junior Welterweight Championship. “Mighty Mo” did not disappoint his legion of hometown fans who saw him capture the title with a sixth round technical knockout victory.

Featured for the second time on a Ward undercard, the sharp-boxing Franco will look to improve on his undefeated record against an opponent with literally six times his pro boxing experience. Meraz is only 29 years old but has already logged an amazing 90 professional bouts and has won four of his last six fights by knockout. He has fought current World Champion Juan Carlos Payano, Three-Time U.S. Olympian Rau’shee Warren and highly-touted prospect Gervonta Davis, going the distance with all three.

In ainneoin a bheith cláraithe mar mhac léinn lánaimseartha i gColáiste CHAFFEY i Rancho Cucamonga, Franco tógtha go luath sa a ghairm bheatha, thiomsú taifead undefeated le dhá Tarraingíonn in ionaid ar fud California faoi dheireadh 2013. Ceann de na Tarraingíonn tháinig i gcoinne Alejandro Ochoa ag Cannon Ciúin i Montebello, California Meán Fómhair 20, 2013, but in a rematch three months later, Franco outmatched Ochoa scór bua chinneadh d'aon toil de shé-bhabhta ag Westin Bonaventure Óstán i Los Angeles. Ar Meitheamh 20, 2015, during Ward’s return to the ring at Oracle Arena, Franco saw action in an eight-round junior lightweight bout against Jonathan Alcantara and won by unanimous decision. A hand injury suffered in that bout kept Franco out of action until Nollaig 21when he scored a decision victory over Hector Garcia in Tijuana, Mexico.

Jr. (7-0, 6 Kos)looks to extend his undefeated streak against Carlos “Kalimba” Lozano (7-5, 4 Kos) de Ensenada, Mexico in a six-round middleweight bout. Puga turned in a career-best performance in his last match-up on February 12 in knocking out Alejandro Osuna (4-2, 2 KO s) in two rounds at the Double Tree Hotel in Ontario, California. Anois, just a little over a month later, “The Revelation” will step into the ring against a tough opponent in Lozanao, a southpaw who has never been stopped and already has a ten-round decision victory under his belt.

 

Having compiled an exceptional amateur record of 99-8, Puga made his professional debut on September 2, 2011, scoring a fourth round technical knockout victory over Raul Talamontes at the Sports Complex in his hometown. Back in the ring less than two months later, Puga Jr. raised his record to 2-0 with a first round technical knockout of Jose Jesus Hurtado at the Sherwood Inn in Salinas.

Solorzano, a naturally bigger fighter, has campaigned in the light heavyweight division and is coming off of a knockout win.

He compiled an amateur record of 90-5, racking up an impressive series of titles along the way including nine Junior Olympic championships, nine Junior Metro championships, eight New York State Silver Gloves championships and five Regional Silver Gloves championships.

He followed that fight with a first round knockout of Marlon Farr on Lúnasa 13 the BB King Blues Club and Grill in New York on Lúnasa 13.

Chinese heavyweight Zhang “Big Bang” Zhilei (7-0, 4 Kos) joins the undercard on Márta 26 in a four-round bout against an opponent yet to be determined. The Silver Medalist from the 2008 Beijing Olympics continues to infuse excitement into the heavyweight division and is coming off of a first round technicalknockout win over David Koswara on February 20 at the Lanzhou Sports Arena in Lanzhou, An tSín.

 

Born on May 2, 1983 in Henan, Zhang began his amateur career in 2003, participating in the World Championships. A breakthrough came in 2007 at the World Championships where Zhang defeated the trio of Nurpais Torobekov, Rustam Rygebayev and Daniel Beahan en route to the semifinals where he lost to Ukrainian Vyacheslav Glazkov. By capturing a bronze medal and finishing the competition in third place, he qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The Chinese powerhouse nearly reached the zenith of amateur success in the summer of 2008, entering the super heavyweight finals at the Summer Olympics in Beijing against Italy’s Roberto Cammarelle. It was not to be as Zhang suffered his first defeat of that Olympiad, losing to Cammarelle, but proudly adding to the host country’s medal total with a Silver. I 2009, Zhang captured a gold medal at the China National Games, an event of equal prestige to the Olympics in China. 2013 saw yet another gold medal winning performance in the China National Games, setting the stage for “Big Bang” to embark on a professional career while basing himself in the United States.

Prior to his January win he scored two unanimous decision triumphs, including his June 20, 2015 performance against Yusmani Abreu (who Ryskeldiev defeated by technical knockout in September) on the undercard of Ward’s last fight. Considered a promising prospect in boxing circles, Coley’s lone loss came via decision to one of boxing’s hottest prospects in Ievgen Khytrov in a bout that was televised live on Showtime’s ShoBox on April 10, 2015 from The Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, Nua-Eabhrac.
