ញូវយ៉ក (កុម្ភៈ. 23, 2016) – Undefeated middleweight contenderកីឡាករ Antoine លោក Douglas នឹងប្រឈមមុខនឹងការលំបាកក្នុងវាយ Avtandil Khurtsidze in the co-feature of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION® កាលពីថ្ងៃសៅរ៍, ខែមិនា 5, រស់នៅលើ ម៉ោងបញ្ចាំង® (10 p.m. និង/ក្រុមហ៊ុន PT) from Sands Bethlehem Events Center in Bethlehem, ប៉ា.
Khurtsidze (30-2-2, 20 លើក) steps in to face GH3 Promotions’ Douglas (19-0-1, 13 លើក) in a 10-round middleweight bout for the WBO International title after លោកសមសូលីម៉េ pulled out of the fight last week with a knee injury.
Khurtsidze, នៃតំបន់ Brooklyn, N.Y.. by way of Kutaisi, ហ្សកហ្ស៊ី, has won eight straight – including six by knockout – since dropping a controversial decision to then-unbeaten លោក Hassan N'Dam in a bout for the vacant interim WBA World Middleweight Title in Paris in 2010.
Khurtsidze was scheduled to face N’Dam in a rematch last ខែវិច្ឆិកា 21 នៅទីក្រុងប៉ារីស, but the event was cancelled following the tragic ខែវិច្ឆិកា 13 terror attacks in France. The rematch with the former world champion was to be contested for the IBF No. 2 spot at 160 ផោន.
A pressure fighter, Khurtsidze was also slated to fight last week on a DiBella Entertainment Broadway Boxing event and has been training since the fight with N’Dam was called off. The 36-year-old, who has also campaigned at super middleweight, is coming off a knockout victory over Melvin Betancourt last August.
“Avtandil is a world class guy, a former silver titlist and has been at the top of the division for years,” លូ DiBella បាននិយាយថា:, ប្រធាន DiBella កំសាន្ត. “This is a great opportunity for him and a huge step up for Douglas. Avtandil had been on his way to France to fight for the No. 2 ranking against N’Dam when the tragic terrorist attacks hit Paris, which was a terribly unfortunate situation for all. ឥឡូវនេះ, he looks to impress in this fight against the highly regarded Douglas. The winner of this bout moves up significantly in the middleweight world rankings and will be in line for a major fight in the 160-pound division later this year.”
In the main event of the SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION tripleheader, Julian “J-Rock” Williams បាន and once-beaten Italian Marcello Matano will square off in a 12-round IBF eliminator for the No. 1 ranking at 154 ផោន. នៅក្នុងការប្រកួតបើកឆាកនៃការ telecast នេះ, hard-hitting prospect លោក Tony Harrison ជា will face veteran former world title challenger លោក Fernando Guerrero នៅក្នុងការប្រកួតខ្សែក្រវាត់ទម្ងន់មធ្យមទំនើបជុំទី 10.
