European Super Featherweight Champion Samir Ziani calls out Tevin Farmer: “Farmer has chickened out” of WBC Eliminator

PARIJS, Frankrijk (April 18, 2021) – European Super Featherweight Champion Samir Ziani (32-3-1, 7 KO) has called out Tevin “American Idol” Farmer (30-5-1, 6 KO), former International Boxing Federation World Super Featherweight Champion, to fight June 5th for the WBC Silver belt in a World Boxing Council (WBC) eliminatie strijd. The winner would position himself for a title fight against WBC World champion Oscar Valdez.

The battle of left-handed super featherweights would be on the June 5th Triller pay-per-view card in Florida, headlined by undefeated World lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez (16-0) vs. George Kambosos, Jr. (19-0), supported by an exhibition fight between 4-time World heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield en Mike Tysonconqueror Kevin McBride.

According to Ziani’s manager Gary Hyde, was offered the WBC eliminator against Farmer and the Frenchman immediately accepted, while all has been quiet from Farmer.

“”I was excited to fight Farmer on a great Triller show,” Ziani said, “especially because it is my dream to win a World title in the United States. “I am surprised to hear that Farmer has chickened out of our fight, but I suppose je knows his boxing is slipping downwards.

“I want you, Farmer! Accept the fight and be a real warrior. Don’t run away from me. I want to box in the capital of boxing, the United States, to show American fans what I can do. They say you’re a technician, I will show you that I am a true warrior. The ring is for real men with the ambition to beat the best, not box the weakest, dus, let’s give true value and pay respect to our noble art of boxing.”

Ranked No. 11 door de WBC, evenals Geen. 9 in the International Boxing Federation (IBF), the 30-year-old Ziani is the reigning EBU European champion, riding a 10-fight win streak. In zijn meest recente strijd (Zeven. 5, 2020) and second title defense, Ziani dropped a bloody Alex Dilmaghian (19-1-1) three times en route to a 12th round win by technical knockout with 9-seconds left in what was a Fight of the Year candidate.

Ziani’s last loss was 4 ½ years ago to World title challenger and fellow Frenchman,Guillaume Frenois (41-1), by a razor-thin margin, 115-113 drie keer, in Parijs. Eerder in zijn carrière, Ziani also suffered a disputed 10-round loss by decision (97-93, 96-94, 96-94) in Denmark to current IBF World Lightweight Champion Richard Commey (18-0) in 2014.

“Ziani is an all-action fighter with an enormous work rate,” the Ireland-based Hyde added. “It would be a tantalizing match between two talented southpaws with the winner going on to fight for the WBC World title.”

The president of NoWhere2Hyde Management, Hyde has managed numerous world-class boxers during his career including world champions Guillermo Rigondeaux,Youri Kalenga en Simpiwe Vetyeaka.

Crossroads: doubleheader results from N.H.: Kendrick Ball, Jr. hits home run vs. Bryan Vera

“Crossroads” results from New Hampshire

DERRY, N. H. (April 18, 2021) -Former New England middleweight championKendrick “Peppa” Ball, Jr. turned in a career-best performance in last night’s main event against dangerousBryan “The Warrior” Vera on the evening portion of the “Crossroads” day-night doubleheader, gepresenteerd door Granite Chin Promotions, at New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire.

The pre-fight plan was followed as Ball (16-1-2, 11 KO) boxed and moved, while Vera (28-17, 18 KO) applied pressure, right from the opening bell. Ball took control in the second round, when he stayed in the pocket, snapping off crisp combinations. Ball fired more effective combinations in the third round as Vera started chasing his opponent. Ball started moving around the ring and fighting from the outside in the fourth and stayed on his toes the remainder of the fight.

Ball won an 8-round unanimous decision (79-73, 79-73, 78-74) to become the World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (Verenigde Staten) Silver Super Middleweight Champion.

“This was my best fight, because of who I fought, and the magnitude of the fight,” Ball commented. “The plan was to box and move because he was much smaller and slower. At times I banged, when I knew he wasn’t hurting me, but I shouldn’t have taken the risks.”

The 39-year-old Vera isn’t the same fighter he was when he beat three different world champions –Andy LeeSergio Mora (tweemaal) enSerhiy Dzinziruk.  The Texan needs to decide if it’s time to finally hang up his gloves.

“This was awesome, definitely our best show to date,” Granite Chin’sChris Traietti declared after the show. “We feel great about stepping up to give these fighters, especially the locals, a platform to perform on in front of fans. I think a lot of promoters have gotten lazy. They gave us a lane and Granite Chin took advantage. This was our fourth show with fans during the last year. Brian fought hard and he’s a great guy, but he’s not the same guy he was in 2011. He needs to think about what he’s going to do.

“Granite Chin returns here June 26th with another doubleheader. The afternoon show will be the Granite Chin Invitational for open elite boxers. With the New England Golden Gloves canceled again there is a void to fill. If promoters are going to help amateurs, I certainly will, starting June 26th."

UitdagerMarquis Bates (8-4, 6 KO) dethroned defending New Hampshire Welterweight ChampionRyan Dibartolomeo (3-2-1, 1 KO) via a sixth-round stoppage in an entertaining co-feature. A devastating overhand right from Bates gave him his new crown as the referee didn’t even count as the ring doctor quickly entered the ring.

Larry “Hitman” Pryor took the contract out onScott Lambert and he wasted little time taking care of business to become the New Hampshire Cruiserweight Champion. Pryor took advantage of his decisive height and reach advantages, closing the show with a perfectly thrown left hook that sent Lambert to the canvas. Lambert managed to beat the count, but the referee stopped the fight midway through the opening round when he saw Lambert wobbling back and forth on rubbery legs.

Lanky lefthandedFrancis “The Tank” Hogan (5-0, 5 KO) graduated last night with a brilliant performance againstLarry “Slo Mo” Smith, who was in his 60th career fight. Hogan put down Smith early in the third round and caught the Texan late in the same round with a lefty-combination to the temple. Smith beat the count, but he was unable to answer the bell for the fourth round, and 20-year-old Hogan became the new New Hampshire Junior Middleweight Champion.

Former New England heavyweight championJustin “Crazy Train” Rolfe (5-2-1, 4 KO) positioned himself for another N.E. title shot with a spectacular knockout ofAlfredo “Choncho” Trevino (9-9-1, 1 KO). The 263-pound Rolfe, fighting out of Fairfield, Maine, charged across the ring at the bell and put his Arizona opponent to sleep right in his corner, when he was counted out at the 20-seconds mark.

The newest member of the fightin’ Whitley family from western Massachusetts, ongeslagen weltergewichtDenzel Whitley, cruised to his fourth victory with his fourth knockout. He drilledAquilandro Brandao late in round one and the fight was stopped by the referee.

OngeslagenJahye Brown (9-0, 7 KO) captured the vacant ABF Athletic junior middleweight title with a hard fought 8-round unanimous decision over a game Mexican opponent,Dormedes Potes (12-4-1, 9 KO).  The two fought toe-to-toe from the opening bell and Brown landed the more effective punches inside to earn the victory.

Promising middleweight prospectJulien “Black Dragon” Baptiste verbeterd 2-0 with his second knockout, blasting outBruno Dias in the third round.

Fighting for the first time in more than eight years, Fall River, MA weltergewichtDustin Reinhold (6-4, 2 KO) won a 4-round unanimous decision over pro-debutingAnthonyAndreozziin what can best be called a rough and tumble match

Junior middengewichtCarlo Castillo’s professional debut was a gem as the Holyoke, MA fighter droppedTheo Desjardon tweemaal, the last closing the show late in the first round.

“Cannon” Berry stops Ibarra in 5

UBO All-America Welterweight ChampionBrandon “The Cannon” Berry (21-5-2, 13 KO) successfully defended in the afternoon card’s main event, overcoming a slow start in which he was buzzed to stop challengerGael Ibarra (5-3, 4 KO) in the fifth round.

Berry finished the fight in the fifth, when he unloaded twin barrages of unanswered punches on a trapped Ibarra until the referee waved off the fight.

“I’m glad it wasn’t a 4-round fight,” Berry said after the fight. “He was a strong guy. I was feeling it. He tested me. I want to thank my family and friends here, and Granite Chin and everybody involved in the promotion.”

In de co-featured evenement, New England heavyweight championMike “Fly” Marshall (4-1, 3 KO), in een niet-titelgevecht, uitgeteldTracey Johnson (4-10-6) in the third round.

Popular Boston IrishmanJimmy Torney (3-0, 3 KO) – 6’ 6”, 269 lbs. – needed only 42-seconds and one big right to stop pro-debuting heavyweightMarco Nascimento

Massachusetts welterweightEric “Gladiator” Goff convincingly won his pro debut againstJader Alves(0-5) as he pitched a 4-round shutout

Three-time New England Golden Gloves championDemek “Hightower” Edmonds had an awesome pro debut, dropping cruiserweightFrancisco Neto twice in round one, the second a vicious body shot ending the fight. Edmonds, a southpaw from Worcester, MA, is a college graduate and bonafide prospect to watch.

In a non-title fight, New England welterweight championMike “Bad Man” Ohan, Jr. (12-1, 6 KO) schooled his 54-fight Las Vegas opponent, junior middengewichtRynell GriffinOhan decked Griffin three times in the first round, the third with a left hook to the body from which Griffin was unable to beat the count.

Canadian cruiserweightYan “Wild Thing” Pellerin (11-1, 5 KO) landed two stinging rights to the body of 63-fight veteranSteve “The Spoiler” Walker, both flooring the Missouri fighter, the second resulting in an opening-round knockout for the vacant ABF Atlantic title.

Connecticut welterweightOmar “The Beast” Borday, Jr. (1101, 3 KO) dominated 65-fight journeymanDewayne Wisdom en route to a one-sided 8-round unanimous decision.

In de co-main event, #3-gerangschiktCorey Anderson (15-5) advanced to the semi-finals to face #4 ranked pound-for-pound athleteRyan Bader(28-6, 1 NC) at a future date in the Bellator Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix.

BELLATOR MMA returns to action on May 7 with a bantamweight world title fight pitting c-Juan Archuleta (25-2) tegen #1 gerangschiktSergio Pettis (20-5) and a Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix opening round pairing between the debutingAnthony "Rumble" Johnson(22-6) enYoel Romero(13-5) to determine Nemkov’s next title challenger.Bellator 258 airs exclusively on SHOWTIME at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

“Rumble”had this to say about his upcoming BELLATOR debut on SHOWTIME: “You know how I fight. I come out there and throw bombs. If you get in the way and get hit, that’s just what happens. Romero is a hell of an athlete. We all have watched him fight. For his age, which to me doesn’t play a factor at all, he’s a beast. I’m very excited to fight a man of his caliber. He’s a true challenge to anybody that he faces. I look forward to testing myself against him. He’s definitely an opponent that I respect. Somebody that I know I’ll enjoy fighting and the fans will enjoy it too.

"Direct, I can’t look past Yoel. I really can’t. I don’t look that far ahead. I have goals, but right now I got one of the toughest individuals you can possibly face in my face May 7. I’m looking forward to it and I just need to focus on Yoel. I’m just going to let the dice roll the way they’re going to roll and whoever makes it to the next round, I’ll focus on that later. Op dit moment, I just need to focus on one individual and everybody else is not even on my radar right now. I just got to focus on the man that’s trying to knock my head off.”

BELLATOR MMA 257: Nemkov vs. Davis 2 Hoofd Card:

c-Vadim Nemkov (13-2) verslagen #2-Phil Davis (22-5, 1 NC) via unaniem besluit (48-47, 48-47, 48-47)

Vadim Nemkov: “My plan was to out-strike him today and defend the wrestling. I’m pretty happy with my performance but I had some mistakes and I’m going to work on them for next time.

“It’s very hard to knock out Phil Davis so I was getting ready for a five round fight and I knew it was going to go the distance. Our conditioning was on point.

“Both fighters [Johnson and Romero] are very unpredictable. They can strike or wrestle. I’m a champion and I’m ready for whoever wins that fight. It doesn’t matter to me who I face. Both fighters are really good on the ground or standup and it’s going to be a good fight for me either way.”

#3-Corey Anderson (15-5) verslagenDovletdzhan Yagshimuradov (18-6-1) via TKO (stoten) bij 2:15 van ronde drie

Corey Anderson on facing Ryan Bader: "I love the matchup with Bader. I love the matchup with anybody in this tournament. I love the matchup with any 205-er in the world because I know how good I am. I’m just going to show the rest of the world that. Me and Bader, we have history from training together and like I said, one person knows. He knows. We’re just going to find out in July when we match up. One man has to go out there and make the statement on TV.

“He knows who he’s matched up against. That’s all. I ain’t one of those dudes who’s going to put the film out there on Instagram because that ain’t a good sport. But at the same time, he knows. We know. They know it’s going to be a tough match. He’s gotten better. I’ve gotten better. He knows it’s going to be a war. It’s not like he’s going to go in there and take me down like he does with all these other guys. Because he knows. He knows he ain’t gonna go out there and out-strike me.”

#7-Veta Arteaga(6-4) verslagenDesiree Yanez (5-3) via meerderheidsbesluit (28-28, 29-27, 29-27)

Veta Arteaga: “My overall goal is to have another opportunity at the title shot. One fight at a time. I wasn’t overlooking Desiree at all and I’ve just been watching all the females that fight in this division to see who I may be potentially fighting. I’m excited to hopefully climb right back up in the rankings and have another title shot.”

Paul Daley (47-17-2) defeated #8-Sabah Tomasi (15-9) via TKO (stoten) bij 1:44 van de tweede ronde

Paul Daley on who is next…

“Whoever fancies it. Whoever struggles to get down to 170 and feels like 175 is a good division for them, I’ll fight them. I’ve been in with the best at 170 and now I’m saying here on SHOWTIME and around the world that the 175-pound division is my division. If you want the belt, f*cking come and get it.”

He’s more than deserving of this title shot, but this is still my division and that isn’t changing any time soon.”

A relatively new addition amongst the sport’s elite welterweights, Amosov will enter his first BELLATOR world title bout riding a streak of six consecutive victories since signing with BELLATOR in 2018. “Dynamo” has established himself as a well-rounded and extremely dangerous fighter, collecting a remarkable 19 wint door finish, inclusief 13 in de eerste ronde.

Brooks (6-1, 5 KO) trains with unified welterweight champion Errol Spence in Dallas, Texas under the tutelage of coach Derrick James. The 25-year-old Brooks is looking to bounce back from a split decision loss to Marco Delgado in his last fight in September. Rivera (8-6-3, 6 KO) fights out of Fife, Washington and is coming off a TKO victory over Roberto Salas in his last fight.

The 20-year-old Marshall will turn pro on April 20 after an impressive amateur career. Marshall was born in Landover, Maryland and now resides in Capitol Heights, Maryland as he embarks on his professional journey. He will be opposed by the 31-year-old Marron (0-1) who fights out of Bakersfield, Californië.

The 28-year-old Rashidi (8-1-1, 6 KO) works out of the same gym in Dallas as Spence and Brooks and is coming off a TKO victory over Rynell Griffin in his last fight. He will face Silverya (8-6-2, 3 KO), who is from Nuevo Leon, Mexico and is coming off a loss to Fazliddin Gaibnazarov in his last fight.

Indian Star Neeraj Goyat, who was set to fight Amir Khan in 2019 makes his UK Debut in Aberdeen


Zes keer, five division World Champion and Promoter Lee Mcallister announced that he and World Boxing Council (WBC) Asia Welterweight Champion Neeraj Goyal will co-headline LET BATTLE COMMENCE IV, that takes place on the 29th May 2021 and broadcast live on FITE TV, as well as further linear and digital channels globally.


Reigning WBC Asia Champion Goyat is probably the best known Indian boxer by fans of the pugilistic arts, following the announcement back in 2019 that he was to face Amir Khan in a mega fight in Saudi Arabia, unfortunately prior to the much anticipated showdown, Goyat was seriously injured in a car crash and had to pull out, Khan fought Australia’s Billy Dib.


Goyat fully recovered from his injuries and immediately got back to winning ways, in his most recent contest, that took place at the Majestic Pride Ship, Panjim, India back in March this year Goyat knocked-out Sandeep Kumar after just 34 seconden van de vierde ronde.


On making the announcement McAllister said, “I’m a big fan of Neeraj.


“We had planned to bring him to the UK back in 2019, but when the opportunity to fight Amir was put on the table I just tore up the contract. Fighting Amir on an internationally broadcast event was a huge opportunity for Neeraj and I wasn’t going to stand in the way.


“To say I was gutted the fight didn’t happen is an understatement as the fans world-wide would have seen just how talented Neeraj is.


“So here we are two years later and finally we are going to have Neeraj fight on one of our shows and unlike when we were originally bringing him over, now our events are televised, so finally fans worldwide will get to see just what an immense talent he is.”


In mid-March 2020, like all sporting events, Professional Boxing shows world-wide were cancelled, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.


UK Government restrictions were relaxed in July 2020 so that sporting events could resume, however with the proviso that no spectators would be allowed to attend. With this in mind McAllister joined forces with the British & Irish Boxing Authority (BIBA) to create a series of Professional Boxing events that take place ‘Behind Closed Doors’.


De inaugurele LAAT DE GEVECHT BEGINNEN evenement, that took place behind closed doors at the Northern Hotel in Aberdeen on Saturday 18th July 2020, was headlined by longtime WBO Featherweight King Scott Harrison versus PBC International Champion Paul Peers. The main support featured the professional debut of ten time Kickboxing World Champion Caitlin Foran.


LAAT DE STRIJD BEGINNEN II, took place on Friday 4th September 2020 and was headlined by PBC & WBU International Champion Nathan Beattie versus UK based Nicaraguan Julio Bendana. The undercard featured no less than three female contests, including two of the UK’s top female amateur boxers, Hollie Towl en Eleanor Coulson, making their professional debuts, this event also took place behind closed doors in Aberdeen.


The third edition, LAAT DE GEVECHT BEGINNEN – DE LEEUWEN, that takes place on Saturday 24th April 2021 is set to enter the record books as the first all Female professional boxing event to take place not only in the UK but also the first in Europe.


Joining the much lauded duo McAllister en Goyat on the 29th May 2021 LET BATTLE COMMENCE IV zijn;


PBC/WBU International Super Lightweight Champion Nathan Beattie, rising unbeaten Super Featherweight prospect Kevin Traynor, stylish unbeaten Heavyweight prospect Craig Dick, unbeaten Middleweight prospect Adam Stewart, local Heavyweight Liam Allan makes his second professional outing, whilst Indian Featherweight Sukhdeep Singh maakt zijn professionele debuut.


LET BATTLE COMMENCE IV co-headlined by Lee Mcallister en Neeraj Goyal will take place behind closed doors at the Northern Hotel, Aberdeen on the 29th May 2021 en zal live worden uitgezonden op FITE TV as well as further linear and digital channels globally (please check local listings)

ABEL & JESÚS RAMOS TRAININGSKAMP CITATEN

“Ik hou van trainen met een jongen, hongerige vechter zoals Jesús. We voeden ons met elkaars energie,”- Abel Ramos

“We hebben allebei hetzelfde doel, dat is om te winnen op 1 mei ... Als ik ooit moe ben, Ik kijk gewoon naar Abel en weet dat ik moet blijven pushen,”- Jesús Ramos

Weltergewicht Contender Abel Ramos & Rising welterweight Star Jesús Ramos Preview Respective Showdowns on FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View Undercard vindt zaterdag plaats, Mei 1 van Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Californië

GROOT HUIS, DE. (April 14, 2021) - Weltergewicht mededinger Abel Ramos en zijn neef, rijzende weltergewicht ster Jesús Ramos, bespraken de band van hun familie door middel van boksen terwijl ze vooruitblikken op hun aanstaande confrontaties die zaterdag plaatsvinden, Mei 1 in FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View undercard-actie van Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Californië.

Abel Ramos zal tussenbeide komen en het opnemen tegen voormalig wereldkampioen Omar "Panterita" Figueroa in het co-main event van de pay-per-view, while Jesús Ramos will battle Javier “El Intocable” Molina in a welterweight attraction that kicks off the pay-per-view at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

Abel and Jesús are trained by Abel’s brother and Jesús’ father, Jesús Ramos Sr. in their hometown of Casa Grande, Arizona. Both have spoken effusively about how training alongside a family member, and a fighter at a different point in their career, helps push them during camp.


“It’s great working with Abel,” said Jesús. “We hebben allebei hetzelfde doel, which is to win on May 1. If I’m ever tired, Ik kijk gewoon naar Abel en weet dat ik moet blijven pushen. I’m always able to ask him for advice and we help each other a lot.”

“It’s great training with a young, hongerige vechter zoals Jesús,” said Abel. “We feed off of each other’s energy, and there’s lots of competitiveness when we train. Ik denk dat dat een goede zaak is voor ons allebei. "

Zowel Abel als Jesús weten sinds Jesús klein was dat dit een pad was dat de jongere Ramos uiteindelijk zou bewandelen. Voor Jesús, hij heeft Abel altijd als zijn inspiratiebron gebruikt om hem te helpen waar hij nu is.

"Diep van binnen wist ik altijd dat hij met boksen zou beginnen,” said Abel. "Hij was bij al mijn gevechten toen hij jonger was en hij toonde altijd interesse in de sport."


"Abel is de man naar wie ik heb opgekeken sinds ik een klein kind was,” said Jesús. “Ik heb hem van jongs af aan zien boksen en heb veel van hem geleerd. Het heeft me altijd geïnspireerd om het hem te zien doen. Hij heeft altijd zware gevechten gevoerd en dat is ook inspirerend. Hij heeft een grote rol gespeeld om me te brengen waar ik nu ben. "


Terwijl de 20-jarige Jesús wordt beschouwd als een jonge nieuwkomer in de sport, die zijn zwaarste test in mei op zich neemt 1 in Javier Molina, Abel gelooft dat zijn neef in deze strijd wijsheid zal tonen na zijn jaren.


"Mensen denken, omdat Jesús jong is, dat hij geen ervaring heeft, maar dat is waar ze het mis hebben,” said Abel. “Op zeer jonge leeftijd toonde hij veel van de capaciteiten van een doorgewinterde vechter. Hij heeft altijd veel geduld gehad, evenals het vermogen om in de ring te denken. Zijn ring-IQ is erg hoog voor zijn leeftijd. "

Vooruitlopend op de twee vechtende Ramos deelden de pay-per-view undercard in mei 1, here is what Abel and Jesús had to say about their training camp, their respective showdowns and more:

ABEL RAMOS

“We’re less than three weeks away now, and every week I feel stronger and more ready for May 1. I’ve been sparring with a bunch of local fighters from Arizona who are helping prepare me. The hardest part is yet to come, but I’m just focusing on the game plan and executing the same program that’s worked in the past.


“It’s great to be a part of this event and show the fans the warrior mentality that us Mexican and Mexican-American fighters have. I can’t wait to put on a great show! Het motiveert me om onze krijgersstijl te laten zien en het zorgt ervoor dat ik mijn uiterste best doe om mijn best te doen tijdens de vechtnacht.


“Ik heb veel geleerd van Yordenis Ugas. Ik ging terug en keek naar dat gevecht, en ik zag een aantal dingen die ik kan verbeteren. Het dient als motivatie, maar het liet me ook zien dat ik daar thuishoor met de besten in de divisie. Ik heb niet het gevoel dat het een totaal verlies was, want ik heb ervan geleerd. Maar in deze strijd, Ik ga alle verbeteringen laten zien die ik heb aangebracht sinds het Ugas-gevecht.


'Ik heb Figueroa's gevecht tegen Ugas gezien. Maar stijlen maken ruzie en ik denk dat mijn strijd tegen Figueroa anders zal zijn dan die van Figueroa en Ugas. Ik verwacht veel meer actie als ik Omar tegenkom.


“The majority of the game plan is preparing for Figueroa to come forward. We’re getting sparring partners that mimic what Figueroa does. Even when I’m working on the heavy bag, we’re keeping that in mind. I’m constantly imagining someone in front of me who I know is going to throw a lot of punches.


"Aan het einde van de dag, I just want the win by any means necessary. I love that people are expecting a great fight from us and I just use that as motivation to prepare myself for what I know will be a grudge match.”

JESÚS RAMOS


“Everything is going how we planned for in this training camp. It’s a grind seven days a week. I’m just keeping up a good diet and focusing on strength and conditioning. We’re going 12 sparrenrondes en ik voel me er klaar voor. Ik ben al in topvorm en we hebben nog twee en een halve week te gaan. Ik ben aan het sparren met mijn oom Abel, Jorge Cota en enkele andere lokale strijders uit Arizona.


“Ik denk dat Molina veel ervaring heeft, waarvan ik weet dat hij zal proberen tegen mij te gebruiken. Hij is een vechter met een goede snelheid. Maar toen hij vocht tegen Jose Pedraza, hij worstelde tegen een linkshandige. Zo, Misschien bezorg ik hem daar wat problemen, maar ik ben ook groter dan Pedraza. Ik ben een legitiem weltergewicht.


'Dit gevecht is zo dicht bij Cinco De Mayo, dit is een enorme deal voor mij. Er zullen die week heel veel evenementen en festiviteiten zijn en het is een eer om daar deel van uit te maken. Ik wil Mexico zo goed mogelijk vertegenwoordigen.


“Een overwinning op Molina zou een groot statement zijn. Veel mensen zeggen dat hij tot nu toe mijn sterkste tegenstander is. En door hem te verslaan, krijg ik ruzie met enkele nog grotere namen. Maar ik moet eerst Molina verslaan.


"Ik zou graag een knock-out krijgen tegen Molina. Hij heeft te maken gehad met een aantal taaie vechters en niemand heeft hem knock-out kunnen slaan. Maar als ik de knock-out niet kan krijgen, wil ik hem gewoon domineren en er goed uitzien als ik de overwinning kan behalen. "

Undefeated Super Lightweight Sensation Omar Juárez Battles Argentina’s Elías Araujo in FOX PBC Fight Night Co-Main Event & on FOX Deportes This Saturday, April 17 from Los Angeles

SAN ANTONIO, TX. (April 14, 2021) – Undefeated super lightweight sensation Omar “El Relampago” Juárez will look to continue his ascent up the 140-pound rankings when he takes on Argentina’s Elías “El Macho” Araujo in a 10-round showdown that serves as the FOX PBC Fight Night co-main event and on FOX Deportes this Saturday, April 17 from Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles.


The 21-year-old Juarez (10-0, 5 KO) will return to action after a dominant 2020 that saw him add four victories to his resume. This included fighting to eight rounds for the first time, which he did twice in winning unanimous decisions over Dakota Linger and Willie Shaw.


The Brownsville, Texas native most recently dropped Raul Chirino three times in December on his way to a first round knockout victory. His 2021 will kick off with him facing Araujo (21-2, 8 KO), an Argentine fighter who on paper is the stiffest test of Juarez’s career.


Here is what Juarez had to say about facing that test, training camp and more:


Op zijn recente trainingskamp:


“It was another brutal camp in San Antonio with coach Rick Nunez. We got a lot of hard rounds in with some very tough sparring partners. I’ve been working on throwing more power shots while sustaining good defense. I’ve made all the sacrifices necessary to be in the best shape of my life and I’ll be at my best come this Saturday.”


On his upcoming fight with Elias Araujo:
“Araujo has a good record with a lot of experience, and he has double the number of fights that I’ve had. Since Araujo has only fought once in the U.S., I know he’s coming to fight, so I’m expecting to go to war. This will be my toughest fight so far in my career, and I’m going to be ready for anything he brings to the ring.”


On making his 2021 debut on FOX:
“I’m so grateful to be fighting once again FOX PBC Fight Night. It’s the big stage that gets me excited and I want nothing more than to put on a great performance for the fans. It doesn’t get bigger than FOX, so believe me when I say I’m ready to let my hands go.”


On what fans can expect to see in this fight:


“I’m coming to make a statement in this fight. Araujo has never been stopped, so to end this fight early will be something special that no one has ever done. Fans can expect to see me throw a lot of power shots with bad intentions.”
