“I think it’s inevitable,” – Logan Paul on potential fight against his brother, Jake

Watch Full FOOD TRUCK DIARIES InterviewHER

HVAD: YouTube sensation turned professional boxer Logan Paul joins this week’sFOOD TRUCK DIARIES, a segment under SHOWTIME Sports’ digital talk show and podcast seriesBELOW THE BELT WITH BRENDAN SCHAUBto preview his highly touted February 2021 boxing exhibition against all-time great Floyd Mayweather.

Paul details to Schaub how the Mayweather bout came to fruition, explains where his love and passion for boxing came from and speculates on a potential clash with his brother and fellow pro boxer Jake Paul, who scored a viral sensation over former NBA star Nate Robinson last month.

Following are excerpts from the episode:

On how the fight with Floyd Mayweather came about…

Paul – “I signed [the contract] and then after just months and months going back and forth, figuring out dates – we had three different dates – and how to announce it and just the strategy behind it. It finally came to fruition and this event that supersedes everything I’ve ever done in my life, finally solidified.”

On his boxing skills and last fight against KSI…

Paul – “I think we surprise a lot of people. It’s what I’ve done my whole life. I’ve just exceeded expectations and I don’t think there’s anything online that’s representative of how good I am or the level at which I’m operating at this point in my life when it comes to boxing. I think my last fight wasn’t indicative in the slightest. I remember after it happened, Bro, the bell rang at the sixth round and I had half a tank left…Something just didn’t click that day…A year later, after an ‘L’, you secure a fight with the biggest fighter on the planet. It never really felt like a loss.”

On the rules of the Mayweather bout…

Paul – “I don’t think there’s a weight as of now. If they make me drop weight I’ll be pissed. I’ll make a thing about it. I’ll f***ing complain about it and sh*t. That’s the thing, højre? The greatest boxer of all time faces the young behemoth. I’m going in there and I’m towering over this dude and that’s what makes it exciting. It’s David vs. Goliath.”

On a potential fight with his brother, Jake…

Paul – “My dad does not want us to do that. If you want my opinion, I think it’s inevitable. I think Jake and I in two to four years’ time are going to be beating the sh*t out of each other in a ring and I think it’ll be one of the most historical sporting events to take place ever.”

BELOW THE BELT explores the intersection of combat sports and pop culture through the eyes of former fighter, comedian and red carpet host Brendan Schaub. The program discusses the latest news in combat sports and pop culture, with Schaub delivering candid thoughts in his unique and unfiltered style.

Ubesejret letvægtsprospekt Jamaine "The Technician" Ortiz Ikke længere bedst bevaret hemmelig efter Tyson-Jones, Jr. PPV show ydeevne

Efterlad en kommentar

WORCESTER, Masse. (December 14, 2020) – Prior to his sensational performance on the recent Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-view event, undefeated lightweight prospectJamaine “Teknikeren” Ortiz was boxing’s best kept secret. No more, selv, as Ortiz firmly established himself as a rising star in front of countless fans among the 1.6 million PPV buys.

Ortiz flew from Boston to Los Angeles on Thanksgiving. He was driven to his hotel, where he immediately saw Jones, checked his weight, and walked to Staples Center. “I was comfortable from the start,” said the young fighter who was fighting for the first time as a professional outside of New England. “I was there to get the job done. I was on a mission. I walk to see the Staples Center and that was cool. I later took my run around the Staples Center and there were a lot of statues. It was beautiful. It was cool seeing the Lakers locker-room.”

The 24-year-old Ortiz (14-0, 8 KOS), the reigning World Boxing Youth World champion, slået udSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KOS) with a bruising body attack, hurting his opponent in the sixth round, and closing the show in spectacular fashion in the seventh for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (US) Silver lightweight title. Segawa had never been stopped before as a professional.

Ortiz displayed his overall arsenal: stiff jab, lightning quick hands and feet, switching back and forth effortlessly from orthodox to southpaw stances, punishing hooks up and down, and the most lethal body shots seen from a New Englander since“Irish” Micky Ward.   

“I was calm and cool before the fight,” Ortiz added. “I like to go into a fight, mentalt, like it was a sparring session and I always do good. I started out in an orthodox stance, established my jab and used it a lot. I think I should have used it more and could have beaten him with it. I listened to my coach (Rocky Gonzalez) and he told me when to switch. Body punching is the No. 1 thing with Rocky. I may not have shown it nearly as much in other fights, but he drills that into me all the time. In the sixth round, he told me to go more to the body, not looking to catch him, and in the seventh I really hurt him to the body.

“Segawa was definitely tough. He had beaten a lot of guys, including a few he upset. Every fight is a stepping-stone and I’m my worst critic. I felt that I could have knocked him out in the second round, but I didn’t want to go off the game plan

Ortiz set-up Segawa from the opening bell, brød ham ned, and finished the show in grand style as Seqawa was hurt and trapped on the ropes, drawing kudos from highly respected people in the industry such as“Sugar” Ray Leonard, Teddy Atlas, and others. Ortiz’ fanbase grew exponentially as boxing fans rushed to sign up to follow Jamaine during and after his breakout fight.

“Once people saw me perform and my style,” Ortiz continued, “they liked me. I could have shown more and thrown more combinations. I really needed to fight in front of the world. I got 5,500 new Instagram flowers that night. I guess, I’m no longer the best kept secret in boxing.”

“Our main goal is to win a world title,” Gonzalez commented. “This was fun and a great opportunity, but the motivation to be world champion is stronger. He dealt with this fight as just another fight, and he followed our game plan.

“His body shots set up the ending. I’m always telling him about Micky Ward’s body shots. You know, boxing is a dance, a salsa. Boxers need to dance; I don’t think they should just be orthodox. They all need to fight the other way and when Jamaine switched stances in the third, he never let up. I’ve trained him hard. I’m always on him and what better way to shut me up than ending it like he did on pay per view?  It was a drop the microphone moment!"

Ortiz is promoted byJimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports) and advised byRichard Shappy ogEddie Imondi. 

Because of the uncertainty in boxing due to the pandemic, Ortiz’ 2021 schedule is unknown, but he isn’t boxing’s best kept secret anymore, “The Technician” is a bonafide rising star.

CHRIS COLBERT AIMS TO “SHOW EVERYONE WHY I’M ONE OF THE BEST 130-POUNDERS IN THE WORLD” AGAINST JAIME ARBOLEDA

Unbeaten Interim WBA Super Featherweight Champion Colbert Battles Hard-Hitting Arboleda in Main Event Live on SHOWTIME® denne lørdag, December 12

NEW YORK – December 8, 2020 – Unbeaten interim WBA Super Featherweight Champion Chris "Primetime" Colbert will look to make a statement in his first nationally televised main event as he faces hard-hitting Jaime Grove live på SHOWTIME denne lørdag, December 12 på 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT i en begivenhed præsenteret af Premier Boxing Champions fra Mohegan Sun Arena i Uncasville, Conn.

“I always knew I was going to get here,” said Colbert. “It’s all God’s plan. This is just going to be another day for me and I’ll show everyone why I’m one of the best 130-pounders in the world.”

The 24-year-old Colbert has shot up the rankings of the 130-pound weight class and believes that a victory on Saturday night will lead to bigger opportunities in the jam-packed division.

“This is one of the most stacked divisions in boxing and I love competing in it,” said Colbert. “It’s great to be getting noticed in a division that has this much talent, and hopefully it’ll lead to me getting the big fights that I need. I don’t feel like there’s any certain fighter I’m targeting, but Gervonta Davis, Leo Santa Cruz and Jamel Herring would all be great fights for me. Beating them would help me become ‘the guy’ in the division.”

Colbert’s rise continued in his last fight, as he scored a 10th-round knockdown against former champion Jezreel Corrales on his way to a decision win while showing an impressive array of skills against a fighter determined to slow the action through holding and other veteran tricks.

“Against Corrales I learned not to rush,” said Colbert. “It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. I can’t just go rush in there and expect everyone to get knocked out. I had to take my time, do what I do best and stick to my game plan.”

In the 26-year-old Arboleda, Colbert will be presented with another rising 130-pound contender with his own sights set on emerging amongst the elite in the division. Arboleda has won five of his last six fights by stoppage and most recently dropped Jayson Velez on his way to a decision victory in February on SHOWTIME.

“Come December 12, Jeg er klar til hvad han bringer,” said Colbert. “I expect him to bring pressure and ‘try’ to make me tired because that’s the only chance he has. He can’t outbox me. That’s not happening. But I love to bang inside and I’m ready for whatever he does. I hope he doesn’t run or clinch me because I’d love to get the knockout and get him out of there early.”

The Brooklyn-native Colbert has continued to work with his longtime coach Aureliano Sosa in his hometown through the difficulties of the pandemic. Those difficulties have led to Colbert sparring with larger welterweight and super welterweights in camp, which Colbert believes could help him with the power Arboleda will bring into the fight.

“Training camp has been going great for the most part,” said Colbert. “It’s just been a little hard finding sparring partners. But because it’s been difficult to find fighters at my weight I’ve actually been sparring with 147 and 154-pound fighters. I honestly love that because it prepares me better, and who’s to say that Arboleda won’t have power like them? I’m on weight now, selv, and ready to put on a show on December 12.”

RICHARDSON HITCHINS TRÆNINGSLÆR CITAT & FOTOS

Efterlad en kommentar
"Jeg tror virkelig på, at jeg er den bedste up and coming fighter i spillet"



Ubesejret Rising Super letvægts Prospect Hitchins kæmper mod den tidligere mester Argenis Méndez i Co-Main Event Live på SHOWTIME® denne lørdag, December 12

Klik HER for billeder fra Mayweather-kampagner

NEW YORK – December 7, 2020 – Uslagne stigende udsigter Richardson Hitchins delte detaljer om sin træningslejr, inklusive tips og motivation, han modtog fra Floyd Mayweather og Gervonta Davis, forud for sit superletvægtsopgør mod tidligere verdensmester Argenis Mendez live på SHOWTIME denne lørdag, December 12 på 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT i en begivenhed præsenteret af Premier Boxing Champions fra Mohegan Sun Arena i Uncasville, Conn.

“Floyd hjalp mig enormt, mens jeg var tilbage i Las Vegas," sagde Hitchins. "Jeg har allerede det grundlæggende som fighter, men han viste mig små ting hist og her og træninger, som jeg har taget med hjem, mens jeg træner til denne kamp. Jeg er ikke bleg for mine evner som fighter, fordi jeg virkelig tror på, at jeg er den bedste up and coming fighter i spillet, så det er den slags kampe, jeg har brug for for at vise verden, hvem Richardson Hitchins er.

"Gervonta har også været medvirkende til tidligere kamplejre, og han er den type person, du har brug for. Han presser dig til at gå hårdere. Vi går ind mod hinanden i forsøget på at overgå hinanden, og det er den type konkurrence, der er nødvendig for virkelig at være den bedste."

Trods træning under hele pandemien, Hitchins har været i stand til at forblive på opgaven og på sporet gennem hele sin lejr, der begyndte i Las Vegas, før han endte i hans hjemland Brooklyn under vejledning af sin cheftræner Lenny Wilson.

"Sagen ved mig er, Jeg er fokuseret uanset hvad," sagde Hitchins. "Jeg tager ikke 'off' efter mine kampe. Jeg holder mig i form hele året rundt; Jeg behøver ikke at blive klar med hensyn til konditionering eller at få min krop i form igen, for det er mit job. Jeg tager mit job meget seriøst. Den disciplin, Floyd har haft gennem hele sin karriere, er den samme disciplin, jeg har. Jeg har set mine idoler og taget ting fra dem, så jeg kan sætte mig selv i en position til at vinde.

"Jeg tror ikke, at pandemien eller ferierne nødvendigvis ændrede min træning. Jeg har stadig adgang til mit fitnesscenter. Der er ikke noget, der kommer til at stå i vejen for at blive stor. Pandemien bremser mig ikke, det er bare endnu en vejspærring for at teste min dedikation til sporten."

Den 23-årige Hitchins repræsenterede Haiti ved 2016 Olympiske Lege og vender tilbage til ringen efter debut i 2020 med en afgørelsessejr på 10 runder over Nicholas DeLomba i februar. Det var Hitchins' anden sejr i 10-runder beslutningen, efter at hans forrige kamp så ham bedst Kevin Johnson følge 10 runder i november 2019.

"Jeg tænker ofte tilbage på min kamp mod Kevin Johnson, han er en hård fighter, og han er den, som jeg trygt kan sige, at han fik det bedste ud af mig," sagde Hitchins. "Det er de kampe, der får mig til at se tilbage og nøje følge de ting, jeg skal arbejde på. Den kamp viste mig også, at ingen skulle overses, så går ind i denne kamp mod Mendez, Jeg overser ham ikke."

Méndez præsenterer den mest gennemførte modstander af Hitchins' unge karriere. Den 34-årige tidligere mester kæmpede senest Juan Heraldez og Anthony Peterson for at få uafgjort 2019, og scorede sejre over Eddie Ramirez og Ivan Redkach forud for det. Til Hitchins, det stærke CV af hans modstander er noget, han nyder som en målestok for hans fremskridt.

"Han er en veteran, han har været derinde med en masse hårde fyre, og han er tidligere verdensmester, så han har helt klart et sæt færdigheder, som jeg tror, ​​jeg skal møde på dette tidspunkt i min karriere," sagde Hitchins. "Jeg har brug for de store kampe. Han er ældre nu, men jeg føler, at han i sin bedste alder stadig ikke kunne røre ved mine færdigheder. Det er min opgave at bevise det.

"Jeg ved, at det ikke bliver en let kamp, men jeg vil være forberedt på, hvad han end bringer. Min motivation er at være mere end almindelig. Jeg vil opfylde mine mål, når alt dette er sagt og gjort, og helt ærligt, Jeg venter bare på, at denne kamp kommer, så jeg kan vise det. Om det er Méndez, eller hvem som helst, den overbevisning, jeg har, og hvordan jeg har det med mig selv, er stærkere end noget andet, der står foran mig i den ring."

Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker Signs Boston featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr.

Efterlad en kommentar
BOSTON (December 7, 2020) – Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker has signed Boston featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. til en eksklusiv ledelsesmæssig kontrakt.

Anderson, a union Sheetmetal worker in local 17, was a decorated amateur who won a gold medal at the 2016 Rocky Marciano Tournament, as well as The New England’s Tournament twice in 2018-2019, and won Central Division of the New England Golden Gloves Tournament twice and runner-up twice during his four-year (2016-2019) run. He also competed in three national tournaments.

Anderson, selv, didn’t start boxing until he was 23, when he walked into a gym for the first time, 10 years after his two best friends introduced him to boxing. “I started in boxing because I hoped to succeed and reach my goals through boxing,” Anderson explained. “I train at Nonantum Boxing Club in Newton (MA), hvor Marc Gargaro is my coach. He’s one of the best in New England. He coaches for USA Boxing. I wouldn’t be in this business without him because he’s built me from scratch. I’m so glad to be coached by him and we’ve developed a bond like family.”

I en alder af 28, Anderson has decided to turn pro, hvilken, selvfølgelig, is relatively late in boxing. But he still feels 21 because of the way he moves and that he wasn’t on the wrong end of beatings in the amateurs. He’s also gained confidence sparring with some of New England’s top pros and amateurs.

“I put a lot of hard work in the gym the past 5 eller 6 years and I got tired of the amateurs,” Anderson explained why he decided to turn pro now. “It’s not too late for me; others have started late like me and went on to become world champion. I want to be in that group.

“I thank Ryan Roach for giving me this opportunity to join Fighter Locker. He’s honest and I was comfortable with him. I like him and know he’s going to keep an eye on me. Why not sign with a Boston manager to help put boxing here back on the map?”

“I’m excited about signing Troy Anderson, Jr.” Roach said. “I’ve been watching him for years and he’s developed well under Marc. Troy has fought the best in the country. He’s a very well-rounded fighter. I’m excited about adding him to the stable. He’s a BOSTON fighter and a great young man. It’s a win-win for us.”



Anderson realizes that he needs to move to set up his shots, throw multiple punches, and change angles. He’s a slick southpaw who normally doesn’t rush in the ring.

FED UP FEMALE BOXERS DEMAND FAIRNESS AND A PLATFORM

Efterlad en kommentar
Boxing’s top female athletes have no “hjem”, no network to showcase their talent

PRESSEMEDDELELSE

NEW YORK — As women continue to make strides toward equality across industries, boxing and its media partners remain in the past by disenfranchising women from a fair opportunity to showcase their skills and earn a living. In the same year that America elected its first female Vice President, a woman of color, the elite women athletes that top the world rankings have no regular television platform or boxing series. Nowhere is this unfair playing field more apparent than in the United States and North America.

The overwhelming majority of top females in boxing have not fought in 2020, or have not fought since January. The pandemic has hit women in boxing even harder than it has hit the men. The picture wasn’t rosy before Covid-19 and, without action, there is no reason to believe that it will improve.

This impacts all women in American boxing, from stars Claressa Shields and Amanda Serrano, to reigning world champions, to six-round and four-round fighters. Other than a handful of athletes, most female boxers must hold down a full-time or part-time job to make ends meet.

Amanda Serrano, Heather Hardy, Ava Knight and others have pursued opportunities in MMA to supplement their income and avoid inactivity. Claressa Shields, the most acclaimed woman in American amateur history, en to-tiden OL-guldvinder, and a proven attraction, is presently without a platform and just announced a multi-year deal with the Professional Fighters League.

The unified champion from Flint, Michigan, told The Athletic that, “Det er (boksning) a sexist sport. It’s sexist with the opportunities we’re given. It’s sexist with the TV time. It’s sexist with how much we get paid. Alle tre. It’s fine for a female boxing star to try her hand at MMA. They shouldn’t be compelled to do so for lack of opportunities.”

“These women consistently deliver great fights and solid viewership numbers,” sagde Lou DiBella, who promotes more women than any other US promotional entity. “They put people in seats, and viewership of their events often rivals the men. These aren’t club level fighters. They are elite world champions and, without television, without a regular platform, they can’t be financially secure or build any kind of fan base. It’s remarkable that women’s boxing is growing its talent pool and raising its stature, given the scarce television and streaming slots that are reserved for female fighters. This is a testament to the resiliency and dedication of boxing’s female athletes, who deserve better.”

Local promoters, who are in the business of growing fighters and filling seats, can offer spots on their cards and regional exposure, but purses are very limited without television revenue. Female fighters’ purses are often limited to a percentage of tickets they sell out of hand.

At the top levels, women are passed over. Heather Hardy, a DiBella Entertainment fighter, has seen the difference in the growth of boxers of both genders. “At press conferences, I sit at a seat at the very end, with the rest of the undercard fights,” Said Hardy. “I watch the boys go from sitting next to me at the end of the table, to moving up to the main card, then the co-main, and then the main event, but my seat never moved. No matter how much press I got, no matter how many fights I won, I never moved. Systemic sexism didn’t allow me to move.”

“It isn’t like we are a separate organization like the WNBA. We are only provided with token opportunities, fighting on the same cards, often in much more competitive fights than the men, and still aren’t treated fairly,” Said Hardy. “We have no place or professional home of our own.”

“This trickles down to aspiring female boxers and the amateur programs,” DiBella continued. “Young women in boxing need to see other women on the big stage. They need to see women that look like them on television and on streaming platforms. They need to know that if they pursue a boxing career, there will be sufficient opportunities to be seen showcasing their talents, for fair wage. If women are able to headline a boxing event, or capable of selling a significant percentage of a live gate, they should not be paid ten to twenty percent of what similarly situated men are paid. We’re not sending the right message here, and there’s no good reason for it in the 21st century.”

The pool of talent available to women in the pro ranks is smaller, but it forces the best matchups. It forces women to fight outside of their weight classes.

“Jessica McCaskill just won unified world titles, and wants to fight me at 147,” said Amanda Serrano, seven-division world champion. “She called me out at 147! It’s kind of sad. Good for us if it makes sense, but the truth is, they’re calling out champs at 126. That is four different weight classes to go up. Men don’t have to do that! Women are constantly forced to compromise ourselves just to get a chance.”

The talent pool won’t increase unless younger generations are inspired by women on television and streaming – women who can fight as well as, and often better than, the men who are on television now. It’s time to stop asking nicely. It’s time for women boxers to demand fairness and stability, and it’s up to network executives, medierne, and those who control access to media platforms, to stop living in the past. It’s time for women in boxing to fight for themselves and for the right to earn a living. And it’s now a time for action.
