DEVIN HANEY במחנה האימונים האחרון שלו:
“מחנה אימונים היה פנטסטי. אני תמיד מתחיל בלאס וגאס בשבועיים הראשונים. לאחר מכן נסעתי לאזור המפרץ להתאמן במתקן SNAC עם ויקטור קונטה במשך ארבעה שבועות. עשיתי הרבה סיבובים של חסימות עם מריו באריוס, בין היתר בחדר הכושר של וירג'יל האנטר. עכשיו, אני חוזר בלאס וגאס עם מאמן הכוחות וההתניות שלי רג'י. אנחנו עובדים קשה, ואני אהיה במיטבי כשאני נכנס לזירה ב -11 בינואר.”
כשפניו עומדים בפני קסוליסני נדנגוני הבלתי מנוצח של דרום אפריקה:“אני יודע שלוחמים מאפריקה באים תמיד להילחם. Xolisani Ndongeni אינו שונה. הוא מנוסה מאוד ולא מנוצח. נדדונגי הלך 12 מסתובב פעמים רבות בקריירה שלו. אלה סוג המריבות שאני צריך לנצח בצורה מרשימה. אני תמיד מחפש להשתפר. הכאת דרום אפריקה הקשוחה תביא אותי צעד אחד קרוב יותר לצילום תואר עולמי.”
לאחר הופעתו השלישית בתאריךShoBox: “נלחם ב- SHOWTIMEShoBox הסדרה הייתה מדהימה בקריירה שלי. זו ההופעה השלישית שלי בסדרה. זה מרגיש נהדר שיש בית שיגלה את הכישרון שלי. נדנגוני יביא את הטוב ביותר שבי. אני מוכן לסיים את התואר SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.”
כשהוא חושב שהוא יהיה מוכן לתואר עולמי: “עליתי על הדירוג עם ניצחונות טובים מול מייסון מנארד וחואן קרלוס בורגוס. אני מדורגת בראש 10 בWBA, WBC, ו- IBF. אני ממוקד בנגדוני ו 11 בינואר זה הזמן שלי לזרוח.”
ביל האני, האב והמאמן של דווין על התקדמותו של בנו דווין הייני: “דווין תמיד מרשים אותי עם מוסר העבודה והמחויבות שלו לתוכנית המשחק. בכל יום בחדר הכושר הוא עובד על הדברים הקטנים שהופכים לוחם נהדר. דווין עבר דרך ארוכה מאז הופעת הבכורה המקדימה שלו. פעם הוא התחיל להילחם ב- SHOWTIME, הוא באמת הגביר את המשחק שלו. הוא לוחם נולד טבעי וגיהנום אחד של בדרן טוב.”
בבחירת מתנגדיו:“אנחנו תמיד מחפשים להעלות אותו בתחרות. זו קטטה גדולה עבורנו ואנחנו יודעים נגד מה אנחנו עומדים. אלה סוג הריבים שהולכים לקחת אותו לשלב הבא.”
על נוף האוגדה הקלה:“חלוקת המשקל קלה מוערמת והיא מהטובות באגרוף. [וסילי] לומצ'נקו ו [מייקי] גרסיה נחשבות לראש הדולר קילו 10. החבר'ה הצעירים שעולים הם מוכשרים מאוד וכדי להחזיק את התואר הקל ברגע זה אתה צריך להיות ילד רע. דווין צועד בדירוג ובתקווה בסוף השנה, נקבל את הזריקה שלנו, אך ראשית עלינו לטפל בעסקים נגד קסוליסני נדנג'ני.” # # #

לאס וגאס (דצמבר 28, 2018) – Two-division boxing championאדואו ג'ק will be supporting his fellow Swede, אלכסנדר גוסטפסון, in his UFC light heavyweight title fight tomorrow night against Jon Jones, and recently dined with his longtime friend while both were training in Las Vegas.
“אלכסנדר, (Swedish UFC fighter) Ilir Latifi and I go
back to the amateur days in Sweden,” אמר ג'ק. “It was great seeing
them again and I’m very proud of all they’ve accomplished in the MMA world. I
wish Alexander all the best in his upcoming rematch and will be cheering for
him to bring Sweden another world title home.”
In the clip from “UFC Embedded“, Jack and Gustafsson talk
about their friendship dating back to their amateur days in Sweden, as
Gustafsson prepares for his title bout and Jack nears his showdown against
Marcus Browne on the Manny Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner pay-per-view January 19.
“Badou Jack and I go back a long time,” said
Gustafsson in the clip. “He’s from Stockholm, Sweden where I’m from and
he’s doing his thing in boxing while I’m in MMA. Our paths have crossed and we
sparred way back in the day. We’re here to catch up and just hang out.”

The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING main
event promises fireworks and high-stakes action as both men bring their
fan-friendly styles to the ring. Here is what the press conference participants
had to say Thursday from the Conga Room at L.A. בשידור חי:
GERVONTA DAVIS
“I believe that Abner Mares is a
future Hall of Famer because he’s fought so many top-level guys. This is big
for me because this is my first time being a main event in the U.S. and I just
feel blessed to be here.
“ב 2019, I want to make a big statement
not only in the ring but by letting the boxing world know that I’m the next
star. I’m aiming to headline a pay-per-view by 2020 if everything goes right. I
have great fights lined up for next year, without looking past Abner.
“As soon as I got off the plane, I
went straight to the gym and got some work in with some guys there. We’re not
taking Abner lightly. I’m excited and blessed to be in this position. פבואר
9, I’m confident it will be sold out and I’m confident that I will be that next
boxing star.
“I’ve always known that you can’t
underestimate anyone in the ring. You have to look at your opponent like
they’re equal to you. I understand exactly what I have in front of me.
“I don’t know what Abner sees, but he
was sure he wanted to take this fight so obviously he sees something. I have
power, מהירות, movement and really a blend of everything. I believe that I’m a
better fighter than him.
“It’s all about being focused in that
ring and doing my job. I’m coming to get Abner Mares out of there.
“I wanted to fight Abner Mares out
here in Southern California. Floyd Mayweather fought Arturo Gatti in his
hometown and that’s basically what I’m doing here.”
אבנר MARES
“One day I just thought to myself
that this fight against Gervonta Davis would be a great matchup and that I can
win it. There are other big fights at featherweight that I could have gotten.
I’m taking this fight because of the challenge that it brings. I’m all about
that.
“I’m coming off of a great close
fight against Leo Santa Cruz. I’m a winner every time I fight. I come to prove
people wrong and perform. Not too many people do that these days.
“We’ll already
have 50 percent of the fight won just by having a good corner, a good team and
a great plan. האחר 50 percent is up to the fighter to perform. One thing
is having the game plan in your mind but it’s another thing to go out there and
perform that game plan.
“We’re not just
going into this fight blind. I’m not stupid. I’m taking this fight because I
see something in this guy. It’s a tough fight, אין ספק. All fights are tough.
He’s in for a good fight. בסופו של היום, you guys have to stop worrying
about my weight and if I’m too small. You guys are going to get a great fight
and that’s all that matters. Sit back, look pretty and enjoy the fight.
“You can’t compare
Jesus Cuellar to Gervonta Davis. I know some people wanted to compare how I did
against Cuellar and how Davis did against Cuellar, but he fought him two years
after I did. It makes no sense. Gervonta Davis has a different style than
Cuellar and it’s going to be a good fight. He’s an exciting fighter and he’s a
boxer. He’s a boxer that trades punches so it makes for an exciting fight.
“People are going to recognize me as
someone who took on everyone. People say this will be a new style for me, but
I’ve seen them all. This is team ‘no fear’ and we’re going to make this
happen.”
קלווין פורד, דייויס’ מאמן
“This is a great chance for us to go
up against the great team that Abner Mares and Robert Garcia make. We’ve been
watching them for a long time and we’re looking forward to it.
“We’ve been doing
this for many years. We know that when it’s time to lock in, we’ll be locked
in. Sparring has been going well. We’re just taking our time and doing what we
have to do to get ready. We have a great team and everybody is doing their
part. It’s our time to show what we’re capable of.
“בפברואר 9, that’s when Gervonta
Davis is going to step up and show the world what he truly is. I can’t wait for
everyone to see it.”
רוברט GARCIA, אמהות’ מאמן
“Abner is very motivated. We have
very strong sparring partners and he’s doing a great job in the gym already.
Come February 9, everyone is in for a surprise. I respect Gervonta Davis and
his team, but I think Abner is hungrier and looking to make history.
“זה הולך להיות קרב גדול.
We’re excited to see a great crowd of fans out there to enjoy a fight that’s
going to be full of action.
“We know that this is a tough
challenge. I think of this like the Adrien Broner vs. Marcos Maidana fight.
Just like Davis, they said Broner is flashy, dangerous and this and that. But
you all know what happened. Same thing is going to happen this time
around.”
לאונרד Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather
Promotions
“This is a fight the fans wanted.
These two guys have gone back and forth on social media and I’m excited that
they’re going to finally get in the ring on February 9.
“דייוויס vs. Mares is a thrilling
matchup between two very skilled warriors. You can’t expect anything but great
fireworks from this fight.
“You can’t say enough about Gervonta
Davis. הוא צעיר, exciting and when he comes into the ring, he doesn’t play
games. That style is going to make this an electrifying matchup.
“You don’t see fighters like Gervonta
Davis very often. He has all the ingredients it takes to be a huge star. He
knows that he has room to improve and he truly wants to get better. He has a
tremendous skill set and you’ve only gotten a glimpse of what Gervonta Davis
brings to the table so far.
“Abner Mares really wanted this fight.
Any time a boxer goes out of his way to say ‘I want that guy’, the biggest and
baddest guy in the division, that speaks volumes to the confidence that Abner
Mares has. He’s exhibited this in all of his fights and he always performs at
the highest level.”
ריצ'רד שייפר, יוֹשֵׁב רֹאשׁ & CEO of
Ringstar Sports
“This is a fascinating matchup taking
place at the perfect venue. This is a great fight to get 2019 הולך. It’s
youth, strength and size against experience, will and desire. May the best man
win.
“I want to thank both fighters for
coming together to make this fight happen. This is one that had been brewing
for a while. Gervonta Davis is the best fighter in his division and he’s one of
the guys who can talk the talk and walk the walk.
“Abner Mares has always sought out
the most difficult challenges in front of him. He is a legend in this sport and
one of the best fighters to ever come out of Mexico. These are the kinds of
challenges that make Abner what he is in this sport.
“Gervonta Davis is one of the rising
stars of the sport and Mares is one of its legendary champions. When you put
those two together, the ones who are going to win are the fight fans.
“People are excited about this fight.
Fans know that you never want to count out a great champion like Abner Mares.
This is of course a dangerous fight for Mares, that’s how good Gervonta Davis
is, but he obviously sees how he can win this fight.”
BROOKLYN (דצמבר 23, 2018) – WBC Interim Middleweight ChampionJermall Charlo(28-0, 21 קוס) won a hard-fought unanimous decision overמאט קורובוב (28-2, 13 קוס) to defend his title in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes Saturday night from Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™.
“I had fun in there with a tough opponent like that,” סעיד Charlo. “I got the win and that’s the main thing. I still feel I’m the best in the world. I just need to prove it to the rest of the world.”
The southpaw Korobov had success early countering Charlo with straight left hands that landed cleanly, even if they didn’t deter Charlo from coming forward. Korobov was successful countering to the body as well and ended the fight with a 119 ל 114 advantage in power punches landed according to CompuBox.
Charlo stayed consistent with his jab however through the early rounds and began to break through later as Korobov’s right eye appeared to close during the middle rounds. Charlo out-jabbed Korobov by a 56 ל 9 advantage in jabs landed, and also threw nearly 200 more punches throughout the fight per CompuBox.
בסיבוב 12 Charlo closed the show and nearly stopped Korobov, who used his experience to hold and move enough to survive the round. Charlo landed a clean left hook to the head early in the round that put Korobov on shaky legs, and he followed up with several strong punches that forced Korobov to try to survive.
“I used everything that happened tonight as motivation in the 12th round,” סעיד Charlo. “I haven’t been that far in a fight in a couple of years. It felt good to be in there, get hit and bang with someone. He was an experienced guy who will make me better.”
After 12-rounds of action, Charlo won the unanimous decision by scores of 119-108 ו 116-112, even after watching his twin brother lose a tough decision minutes prior to his fight starting. “I felt like Jermell made his fight harder than it was,” סעיד Charlo. “I had a really tough opponent, but he wasn’t better than me. There was a lot on my mind in the ring.”
Korobov thought he had done enough to win the fight after he stepped in as a replacement opponent one week prior to fight night. “I thought that I won the fight,” said Korobov. “It was definitely a fight that could have gone either way, but I believe the people know that I won. I’m the most avoided fighter in boxing and I showed why tonight. I hope this performance will get me another title fight.”
In a back-and-forth title showdown, דטרויט של טוני הריסון (28-2, 21 קוס) pulled off the upset to win a narrow unanimous decision overJermell Charlo (31-1, 15 קוס) and capture the WBC Super Welterweight Championship.
“I dictated the pace,” אמר הריסון. “That’s what champions do. He wound up for big shots and I kept my defense tight. All we worked on was defense. I kept my composure and I did what champions do.”
Charlo expressed his disagreement with the judges’ decision after the fight. “They took that fight from me,” סעיד Charlo. “I was pressing the action. He didn’t win that fight.”
Harrison was effective with his jab as he attempted to keep the power-punching Charlo at bay. Harrison landed his biggest punch of the fight in round five when a straight left appeared to temporarily stun Charlo. Charlo was able to land several effective power punches throughout the 12 סיבובים, including an overhand right late in round five that wobbled Harrison.
Round nine saw both men land significant shots, which lead to an exchange where Charlo urged Harrison to keep coming forward. “I got back to my corner after every round and they told me to just keep doing what you’re doing,” אמר הריסון, “You’re dictating the pace they said. That’s what champions do. Champions don’t just try to knock people out. That’s all he wanted to do. I dictated it. הייתי העקיצה שלי. I dictated the fight. That’s what champions do.”
Harrison was caught off balance in round 11 and again in round 12 by Charlo power punches, but was able to use his movement and hold at key times to survive both rounds. לאחר 12 rounds of action the judges preferred Harrison’s jab, movement and counters to the forward-charging power punches of Charlo. All three judges scored the fight for Harrison, על ידי עשרות רבות של 116-112 ו 115-113 פעמיים. Per CompuBox, Harrison connected on 34 percent of his punches throughout the fight to Charlo’s 29 קליפ אחוז, while Charlo out landed Harrison 160 ל 128, plus a 108 ל 71 advantage in power punches landed.
אחרי הקרב, Harrison indicated he would be willing to give Charlo a rematch while Charlo immediately stated his intention to get his belt back. “Jermell – you gave me a shot – I’ll give you a rematch,” אמר הריסון. “I’m going to get my belt back,” סעיד Charlo. “I still want Jarrett Hurd. I know my brother knows I won that fight. I might have given away a few rounds, but I won that fight.”
בהתקף הפתיחה של המשדר, top heavyweight contenderדומיניק “צרות” BREAZEALE(20-1, 18 קוס) delivered a one-punch knockout victory overקרלוס נגרון (20-2, 16 קוס) in the ninth-round of their heavyweight showdown. “I knew the big shot was coming, it was just a matter of time,” סעיד Breazeale. “I was setting up that right hand all night. Since the third round I noticed he dropped his left hand when he took a step to the left, and that’s what I got him with.”
Breazeale started out slowly as Negron was able to score early with a lead left hook and an effective body attack. Breazeale stalked his opponent and threw power punches with some success before connecting on a huge right hand before the bell to end the fourth round. “It’s been a long stretch since I’ve been in the ring,” סעיד Breazeale. “I definitely worked off some ring rust, worked some great combinations and body shots, and finally got the knockout.”
The 2012 מתגורר בארה"ב. Olympian Breazeale had more success through the middle rounds, controlling the action with his jab and pressure that negated Negron’s offense. Midway through the ninth round, Breazeale caught Negron in the corner and connected on an overhand right that sent Negron crashing into the ropes.
Referee Arthur Mercante stopped the bout 1:37 into the ninth round. BREAZEALE, who is the mandatory challenger for heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, had a message for the champion, who was seated ringside.
“I’m next in line for Deontay Wilder and I’m coming for him,” סעיד Breazeale. “I’ve been waiting for him and I did what I had to do tonight. I’m ready for him now. “I know Wilder is here in the crowd. He came to watch. He knows I’m next. He better be holding on to that belt really tightly, because I’m coming. ‘Trouble’ is already here.”

לונדון (דצמבר 22, 2018) –Dillian Whyte delivered a Knockout of the Year candidate with a devastating left hook in the 11הround in a dramatic rematch of one of 2016’s best fights between two top-rated heavyweight contenders Saturday in London in a SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL telecast from The O2 Arena. עם הניצחון, Whyte now has the inside track at a world title fight in 2019.VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2BDKBOP
Whyte (25-1, 18 קוס), who entered the fight holding the No. 1 ranking in the WBC and WBO, used a lethal left hook in the eleventh round to end the rematch, which was just as thrilling and memorable as the 2016 הִתנַגְשׁוּת, in dramatic style. The highly competitive, back-and-forth bout was evenly contested from the opening bell. Chisora (29-9, 21 קוס), who was perhaps the more aggressive fighter, was deducted two points, once for a low blow in the eighth round and once for an elbow in the 11ה סיבוב. Despite the two-point deduction, Chisora was ahead on two scorecards, 95-94, at the time of the KO. Anthony Joshua, who called the fight ringside for Sky Sports, went face-to-face with Whyte following the bout.
“That left hook is my money shot. That shot is going to put a lot of people away,” said Whyte, whose only professional loss came to Joshua in 2015. “They can train for it as much as they want. I’ve been in deep waters and I can swim. I was in great shape. I wasn’t tired once, I was just pacing myself and I knew the knockout was going to come. Whoever wants it can get it. I want Joshua next! Let’s do this. Rematch!"
“Let’s forget about what’s happened in the past. We were at British level in our last fight and now we’re at world level,” replied Joshua, who holds the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles. “It was a good fight back then but let’s see where we’re at right now. If anybody deserves a world title shot, I think it’s Dillian. Deontay Wilder is the target, but if it’s not him, it’s Dillian Whyte.”
Saturday’s SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL telecast will replay on Monday, דצמבר 24 ב 10 p.m. ET / PT ב- SHOWTIME EXTREME ויהיה זמין בכל SHOWTIME בכל זמן® ותצוגת זמן על פי דרישה®.

Here is what the fighters had to say Saturday before going face-to-face in the Barclays Center interview room, prior to the PBC on FOX fight night in Brooklyn:
קית תורמן “אני מרגיש נהדר פיזית. We’re working really hard and just getting back into everything we did before the injury. It feels tremendous and I’m so happy to be able to do this back in Brooklyn. ינואר 26, you will see the return of the number one welterweight in the world. I need to come back and stay active and healthy. I’m going to remind everyone this year why I’m one of the baddest men on the planet. בסופו של היום, I’m here to make a statement that ‘One Time’ חוזר. I have one belt, and I’m missing one belt. I’m going to re-establish my own accomplishments this year, then go from there. We’re taking it one fight at a time. Right now my eyes are set on Josesito Lopez.”
“I’m a world-class fighter. I’ve fought through injuries my whole career. A real fighter ends up getting addicted to the game. There’s nothing better in this life than being under those lights and being part of the action. My legacy is not over. Unification against Danny Garcia was not enough for me. סופו של דבר, I’m just waiting to be presented with a man who is better than me. There might not be one, but I’m not afraid to let my ‘0’ ללכת. “I need fights like this against a guy like Josesito Lopez. He’s going to be there and give the fans a great fight. He’s coming to take me out. He looked like he was in shape a month ago when I first saw him. “It’s been a long time and I’m truly honored to be back. It’s been hard for me to not be in the ring while I wait for the elbow to recover. I’m so happy to be back.”
JOSESITO לופז “I’m really excited to be here tonight. Keith Thurman is a world-class, elite fighter and I’m going to make the most of this opportunity. I’ve been in this position before and I’ve never shied away from big battles. This is another big one and I’m going to be ready for it and become world champion.”
“I’m sure Keith Thurman is as strong and skilled as anyone I’ve ever faced. He’s undefeated for a reason. I give him his respect for that. I’m preparing for him to be the best fighter I’ve ever faced. We’re both experienced fighters who have fought world class competition. I’ve faced my share of tough heavy punchers. I’ve pretty much seen it all. Come January 26, we’re going into deep waters and we’ll see how each of us reacts.”
“No matter how active Thurman has been, the importance of this opportunity doesn’t change. If anything we might see a better and healthier Keith Thurman than we’ve seen in years. I’m expecting the best Keith Thurman there is. I’m going in against one of the toughest welterweights out there. I don’t need anyone to believe in me but myself. I’m going to give it my all to come out with that title.”
ADAM Kownacka “ינואר 26 is going to be a great night. בכל פעם שאני נלחם, it’s very exciting. I throw a lot of punches and bring the pressure. Gerald Washington is going to be a tough test, but if I get through him, I’m even closer to a title shot. That’s the ultimate goal.”
“It’s a little bit of a fairytale story. I was just a little kid from Brooklyn wearing the Golden Gloves and now I’m fighting at Barclays Center. It’s a whole new environment. Hopefully next year I’m the main event. That’s the goal and it’s going to be a dream come true. I have to keep working hard to achieve it.”
“I think when I fought Iago Kiladze, he was also a runner who could box. I managed the ring very well with him so I’m looking to do the same with Washington and punish the body. The taller they are the harder they fall. Gerald Washington is a tough exam. He’s a former title challenger and I know he’s going to bringing his A-game. My goal is to become the heavyweight champion of the world and in order to do that I have to get by Washington. That’s what I plan on doing.”

Jack vs. Browne
Serving as Co-Feature of Manny Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner Mega-Fight
לאס וגאס (דצמבר 20, 2018) – While two-division world
championאדואו ג'ק “Ripper”wears many hats as
an entrepreneur, philanthropist and father, it is his boxing career that has
allowed him to be on the path to greatness in and out of the ring. לכן,
he will put his championship-caliber boxing skills on full display on Saturday,
ינואר 19 from MGM Grand Garden Arena live on SHOWTIME PPV®against
hungry light heavyweight Marcus Browne as the co-main event of the Manny
Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner welterweight championship fight.
Jack is no stranger the pay-per-view spotlight as one of the
brightest stars in the Mayweather Promotions stable and is preparing to make a
statement on January 19.
“בשלב הזה של הקריירה שלי, I’m motivated to fight the best
in the division and prove I am the top light heavyweight in the world,”
אמר ג'ק. “I want the biggest fights on the biggest stages against the
best competition.”
Despite being deep in training camp for this major step in his
career, ג'ק, who was recently named a finalist for the Boxing Writers
Association of America’s Marvin Kohn Good Guy Award, has not forgotten his
mission outside of the ring – the work he is doing through the Badou Jack
Foundation – which focuses on giving children around the world a fighting
chance at life. He spent Thanksgiving serving food to those less fortunate at
the Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada’s food distribution center and plans
to continue to volunteer with them moving forward as well as continuing his
work in the Middle East immediately following his fight.
“Badou is receiving a well-deserved acknowledgement for his
acts of kindness,” אמרתי ליאונרד Ellerbe, מנכ"ל מבצעי Mayweather.
“Not only does Badou put in hard work and maintain discipline for his
craft, he’s a family man who also looks to share the fruits of his success with
others. He remains humble and carries himself with poise as his career
advances. I know that good things will continue to come his way and I’m pleased
to have him on our team, he’s a promoter’s dream.”
While Jack has been in the ring with some very tough customers
including Nathan Cleverly, ג'יימס דה גאל, George Groves and Anthony Dirrell, he
knows that Browne is coming to fight and try to derail his successful campaign
at light heavyweight. לכן, in addition to the work he is putting in at
the gym, Jack has instituted a performance and weight management regimen
overseen by renowned nutritionists Lockhart and Leith, whose clients include
world-class MMA fighters from Conor McGregor to Cris Cyborg.
בנוסף, Jack is utilizing his nutrition supplement products
Ripper Nutrition before and after each workout as Lockhart and Leith are now
official partners in the product, they believe in it so much. Jack has also
welcomed Lockhart and Leith chef James Lockwood into camp to prepare each meal
as part of this regimen.
“Thanks to the opportunities Floyd Mayweather, Mayweather
Promotions and SHOWTIME have provided Badou, he has been able to establish
Ripper Nutrition and the Badou Jack Foundation,” said Amer Abdallah,
Jack’s manager. “He looks great in camp, we expect a spectacular night in
the ring and then we will get back to building his empire outside
it.”
