بیرمنگام, AL (ژانویه 30, 2017) – Undefeated heavyweight world champion دئوتای “بمب افکن برنز” متحیر کردن (37-0, 36 کوس) will now defend his title against unbeaten contender جرالد “سیاه خروس” واشنگتن (18-0-1, 12 کوس) در رویداد اصلی برتر قهرمانان بوکس بر FOX و FOX Deportes روز شنبه, فوریه 25, از Legacy Arena در BJCC در بیرمنگام, آلاباما.
The opponent change comes after Wilder’s original foe, آندره Wawrzyk, tested positive for a banned substance.
“I’m very happy to get this opportunity to fight for my first world championship,” Washington said. “I know that I’ll be fighting Deontay Wilder in his backyard, but that adds more excitement to the fight for me. I’m looking forward to going to Birmingham and coming away with a victory just like I did in my last fight there.”
واشنگتن, a 34-year-old U.S. پیشکسوت نیروی دریایی که در دانشگاه کالیفرنیای جنوبی نیز در مسابقات دفاعی و تنگاتنگ بازی کرد, scored a fourth round knockout over former title challenger Ray Austin in his last fight. It came on the undercard of the same show in Birmingham where Wilder suffered a torn right biceps muscle and fractured his right hand against Chris Arreola on July 16, 2016. Wilder won on a 9هفتم دور TKO, but needed several rounds of surgery to repair the damage and has spent the last six months in rehabilitation.
“I was disappointed when Wawrzyk tested positive for a banned substance and wasn’t available to fight. I didn’t want to disappoint my loyal fans in Birmingham, who have always supported me,” وایلدر گفت. “I’m glad Gerald Washington stepped up to the challenge and allowed us to go forward with the show. He’s a tall heavyweight (6-foot-6) with a good jab and the kind of test that I need coming back from surgery on my biceps muscle and my right hand. I’m looking forward to putting on a good show for all my fans.”
“در این مورد, losing an opponent has resulted in a much better matchup for fight fans,” گفت: لو DiBella, رئيس جمهور از DiBella سرگرمی. “جرالد واشنگتن, one of the highest rated American heavyweights, is a huge man and a physical specimen. ایالات متحده قرار گرفت. جانباز نیروی دریایی, Washington is a tremendous athlete who played football at USC and was on the practice squads of both the Seattle Seahawks and Buffalo Bills. He’s made a successful transition to boxing, and has been working toward his shot at Deontay Wilder and a heavyweight championship. This is the challenge that Deontay wanted and those that come out to the Legacy Arena or tune into Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes will be the beneficiaries.”
“Despite the unfortunate circumstances that have allowed Gerald Washington to have this opportunity, I am confident he will be making the most of it,” گفت: تام براون, رئيس جمهور از تبلیغات TGB, Washington’s promoter. “Getting to fight a great champion like Deontay Wilder on national television is every fighter’s dream. فوریه 25 will be a great night for American heavyweights. Gerald is in amazing shape and he’s coming to win.”
