(September 8, 2017) – World Boxing Super Series action comes to the east coast as the cruiserweight quarter-final showdown between IBF champion Murat “Bügeleisen” Gassiev (24-0, 17 KOs) und Ex-Weltmeister Krzysztof Wlodarczyk (53-3-1, 37 KOs) wird eingestellt Samstag, Oktober 21 bei Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
Gefördert von Ringstar Sports in Zusammenarbeit mit der World Boxing Super Series, Tickets für das Live-Event sind ab sofort erhältlich und unter erhältlich Ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available to purchase at the Prudential Center box office beginning Montag, September 11 bei 11 a.m.“It’s a great pleasure to promote this exciting World Boxing Super Series matchup,” sagte Richard Schaefer, Vorsitzender und CEO von Ringstar Sports. “Murat Gassiev is clearly one of the top cruiserweights in the world but he will have a great obstacle against the battle-tested former champion Krzysztof Wlodarczyk, who will have a big boost from the raucous Polish fans in New Jersey. Prudential Center is the perfect venue for this event and I know that the fans will enjoy this matchup as both men vie for the Muhammad Ali Trophy.”
“It’s so exciting that the Ali Trophy is coming to a fighting place like New Jersey,” said Kalle Sauerland, Comosa’s Chief Boxing Officer. “Hold tight and enjoy the ride, Oktober 21 is going to be a unique experience, think ‘Game of Thrones’ meets boxing. Can’t wait!”
A full slate of undercard bout will be announced soon.
“I promise that I’m going to come to the ring to win and do everything possible to get this victory,” sagte Gassiev. “I want to take advantage of this opportunity to fight the best boxers in my weight class.”
“I have a very serious opponent in Krzysztof Wlodarczyk who is a two-time world champion and his resume speaks for itself. He has fought the best and I’m looking forward to a very hard fight.”
“It is a great honor for me to fight in the World Boxing Super Series for the Muhammad Ali Trophy,” sagte Wlodarczyk. “I trained for two weeks in the Polish mountains and now I am back in Warsaw putting in the work forOktober 21.”
“I am very happy to have the opportunity to fight a champion like Murat Gassiev. He is a young, strong champion like I was a few years ago but I am ready to show that I am still the best in the division.”
One of the hardest punchers in the sport, Gassiev trains with Abel Sanchez in Big Bear, California and hails from Vladikavkaz, Russland. The 23-year-old made his U.S. Debüt in 2015 and delivered four straight knockout victories, einschließlich ein “Knockout des Jahres” contender when he flattened Jordan Schimmel in the first round in May 2016. Gassiev then challenged Denis Lebedev in Russia last December and was able to drop the champion on his way to winning the IBF title.
Fighting out of Piaseczno, Polen, Wlodarczyk first became a world champion when he defeated Steve Cunningham in 2006 to capture the IBF crown. After fighting to a draw against WBC Champion Giacobbe Fragomeni in 2009, Wlodarczyk stopped Fragomeni in their 2010 rematch to become a champion again. He would go on to defend the title six times and enters his Oktober 21matchup on a four fight winning streak.
