Hunter, 27, keer terug na Sam’s Town Liveafter an impressive 2019, in which he won a decisive 10-round unanimous decision against Cameron Krael and scored an upset victory over former amateur standout Sanjarbek Rakhmanov. He comes from a family of fighters, he’s the younger brother of heavyweight contender Michael Hunter and his father was a well-respected boxer who sparred with Mike Tyson. Hunter has spent the entirety of his training camp at Prince Ranch Boxing Gym in Las Vegas, where he trains alongside undefeated welterweight Blair Cobbs.
Here is what Hunter had to say about his recent training camp and upcoming battle with Hawkins:
On his opponent…
“This is my time to shine. Hawkins is a good fighter, he is talented, but he stands in my way. I am not just fighting for myself, but for my family. If you look at my record, I’ve fought some very tough guys. I know I’m battle ready to take my career to the next level. Hawkins is going down. I am going to make people respect the Hunter name once again
“I have nothing bad to say about Malik Hawkins. He is a hard-working fighter. I just feel that I am better. Dit is my tyd, and no one can take this opportunity away from me. The problem for Hawkins is, I have trained harder than ever to get the win. I am more focused than ever.”
On training camp…
“I wanted this camp to be very specific. I get good sparring at Bones Adams’ gym and a lot of top pros have come through there like Shakur Stevenson, Manny Pacquiao, en vele ander. I have watched how they trained, and I have used that same work ethic and principles for this camp with the supervision of my coaches.”
On his status as a contender…
“I’m now ranked 13 deur die WBA, which makes me a contender. I must get past Hawkins, so believe me when I tell you I’m going to leave everything in the ring. I’m looking at this fight like it’s a world title. Losing is not an option.”
On making his SHOWTIME debut…
“I am excited to headline onShoBox: Die nuwe generasie. It’s a platform that launches fighters’ careers, and SHOWTIME has a fantastic and professional production crew. One goal from the beginning was to showcase my talent on a big stage like this, now I’m here. This is a very big opportunity for me, I’m not going to let it slip away.”
Hunter is managed by Greg Hannley of Prince Ranch Boxing, advised by former two-time heavyweight world champion Hasim Rahman promoted by Greg Cohen, Founder and CEO of Greg Cohen Promotions.

Die gebeurtenis, getiteld “NEF 43: Rampage,”Vind Saterdag plaas, April 18, 2020, met 'n kloktyd van 7 pm EDT.Zac “Rocky” Richard(6-2-1) is beplan om die NEF amateur liggewigtitel daardie aand teen die uitdaging vanDevin Corson(3-1). Hulle sal aan die liggewigkampioenskapsgrens van 155 pond in 'n wedstryd vir vyf rondes van drie minute.
Richard het die destydse vakante kampioenskap in November verlede jaar in Portland gewen, Maine met 'n eenparige besluit oorwinning oor die "Magic" Mike Murray (3-2). Hy is nie vreemd aan titels nie, nadat hy in 2015 'n stoei in Maine State vir die Hoërskool Massabesic in Waterboro gewen het. Die oorwinning was 'n geweldige tweede jaar in die kooi vir Richard as die opvolger van sy 2018 “Rookie of the Year” -seisoen. Die laaste keer dat Richard op die verhoog van die Collins Center baklei het, in September 2019, hy het 'n kwaai uitklophou van Erik Tainter behaal (0-2).

Hy is 'n produk van Nostos MMA van Somersworth, New Hampshire, waar hy onder die UFC-veteraan en die voormalige NEF Professionele liggewigkampioen Devin Powell oefen (10-4).
'Devin kan sê wat hy wil oor my titel op die regte tyd,'' Sê Richard. 'Hy het aangebied. Hy het dit. Ongelukkig vir hom, hy het die mees gemotiveerde Zac wat nog ooit was. Ek voorspel hierdie stryd, al, om 'n wonderlike een te wees. ”

Corson ry tans met 'n tweestryd met 'n eenparige oorwinning oor albei Jacob Deppmeyer (nou 1-0 as 'n pro) en Taylor Bartlett (2-3-1) in 2019. Hy verteenwoordig die Outlet gebaseer in Dexter, Maine.
'Ek dink nie veel aan Zac nie, behalwe dat hy in my pad is,”Het Corson gesê. 'Hy is die man wat ek moet verslaan om die reg te kry 155 gordel. Na alles word gesê en gedoen, Ek sal die een wees met my hand opgelig. ”

17 Februarie, NYC — China’s Meng Fanlong (16-0, 10 Uitklophoue) will fight IBF & WBC light heavyweight champion, Artur Beterbiev (15-0, 15 Uitklophoue), March 28th at the Videotron Center in Quebec City, Kanada. Beterbiev vs. Meng is presented by Top Rank in association with Groupe Yvon Michel and Gestev, and will be broadcast live on ESPN along with a co-feature bout at 10 PM ET.
Fanlong, who is from Chifeng, Inner Mongolia China, has more than just his world title shot on his mind. His home country has been essentially shut down due to the recent Coronavirus outbreak.
“The majority of my country has been shut down for weeks.” Says Meng. “My fellow citizens need something to help them escape from this very difficult time. I hope to bring some positivity, happiness, and joy to them with this fight. I want to put pride in their hearts.”
On the 28th of March, Meng will be stepping into the ring with one of boxing’s most dangerous punchers. Champion Artur Beterbiev has won all of his professional fights by knockout – including his thrilling title unification bout against Oleksandr Gvozdyck in October. Meng was in attendance that night in Philadelphia and observed with great interest.
But facing one of boxing’s most dangerous fighters in the ring pales in comparison to the concerns and troubles that are affecting hundreds of millions of Chinese across the globe.
“Fanlong is the best Chinese fighter in the world – everyone will learn that on March 28th.” Says Meng advisor Tommy Lane. “This is a historic fight because he is the first Chinese boxer to fight for the light heavyweight championship. And with what is going on with coronavirus, this is a fight that can bring joy and positive energy to the people at this challenging time.”
It is unknown when the coronavirus will be under control or when the citizens of the The People’s Republic of China can get back to normal life.
“My country needs me. We will get through this.”

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (Februarie 16, 2020) – In sy Bare Knuckle Fighting-kampioenskap (BKFC) debuut, vegsportlegende Hector Lombard verslaan David Mundell deur 'n eenparige besluit (49-46, 48-47, 48-47) Saterdag in die kopstrydbyeenkoms van BKFC 10 woon op betaal-per-uitsig vanaf die Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention Centre in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
In 'n kruisgewig-botsing wat die volle vyf rondes gedoen het, Lombard het die meerderheid van die geveg beheer, maar Mundell gebruik sy steek en kon 'n paar noemenswaardige regterhande land om die stryd interessant te hou.
“Ek was aggressief en het die punte behaal,” het Lombard in oorwinning gesê. “Hy het die hele tyd rugsteun, maar my hoed vir hom. Ek het nooit gedink dit gaan so moeilik wees nie, maar hy het 'n goeie stryd gevoer.
“Ek wou in 'n kaal kneukel wees, want ek wou die ervaring hê, en nou het ek dit,” vervolg Lombard. “Ek is redelik seker dat ek my wedstrydplan en 'n paar klein dingetjies moet verander, maar dit was 'n ongelooflike ervaring.”
'N Gefrustreerde Mundell het gesê, “Ek het die afstand regtig goed gehou. Ek het die beter bokswedstryd gespeel. Ek verstaan dit is 'n kaal kneukel en almal wil sien dat ons dit uitsteek, en hy het meer druk gegee. Ek gee hom rekwisiete daarvoor, maar kom ons hardloop dit terug en kyk wat gebeur.”
Die BKFC 10 mede-hoofgeleentheid aangebied Jim Alers verslaan Kaleb Harris by meerderheidsbesluit (50-44, 48-46, 47-47) in 'n algehele wedstryd van 155 pond. Alers woel Harris van die openingsklok af, slaan Harris neer :30 in die eerste strofe. Alers het in die tweede ronde weer vinnig begin, gebruik sy steek om verwoestende regterhand op te stel.
In die derde ronde, Harris het hom gevestig en homself as 'n wedstryd teenstander bewys. Egter, Alers het in ronde vier weer teruggekeer na sy woeste maniere, Harris vroeg te straf en talle skoon skote te land. Alers het in die vyfde ronde steeds sy voortreflike aanval gebruik om die oorwinning te behaal.
“Ons spelplan was om net in sy gesig te bly,” het Alers gesê. “Hy het langafstand gehad en goeie krag gehad. Ek wou naby bly, gebruik my klem, raak nie deur daardie hakies getref nie. Hy is 'n taai (ou) al. Ek het hom met 'n paar harde skote geslaan en hy het net aangehou.
“My Jiu Jitsu help en kom handig te pas,” vervolg Alers. “Ek is in staat om hom rond te druk, beheer oor sy gewig, en dit speel beslis 'n rol in hierdie speletjie. In MMA, Ek wou altyd mense afneem en inhandig. Noudat ek die kans kry om mense net uit te slaan, Ek is honger vir bloed. Ek is honger vir daardie uitklophoue. Volgende een, Ek belowe julle 'n uitklophou!”
Op die betaalkaart-onderkaart, Luis Palomino oorheers Elvin Brito in 'n vlaag van 155 pond wat die afstand afgelê het. Palomino kon vermy om getref te word en het na 'n wye eenparige besluit getrek (49-46, 50-45, 50-45) oorwinning.
Ulysses Diaz het 'n vinnige staking oorwinning behaal Brian Maxwell in 'n wedstryd van 195 pond. Halfpad deur die eerste ronde, Diaz het verskeie slae in die kluit gelê toe Maxwell sy voorkop gryp en van pyn op die doek val. Dit lyk asof Maxwell nie kan voortgaan nie en die skeidsregter het die wedstryd gestaak 1:13 in ronde een.
Daardie Nguyen vierkantig teen Abdiel Velazquez in 'n uiters geesdriftige geveg van 135 pond. Dit was 'n woedende pas van die openingsklok af, Nguyen land eerste en laat val Velazquez. Velazquez het voortgegaan om die vinnige aksie af te dwing en hy het Nguyen gevang, om Nguyen vir die eerste keer in sy professionele gevegsportloopbaan op die mat te laat val. Toe die vegters in die latere stadiums van die eerste ronde gevestig is, Nguyen het 'n yslike links geland wat Velazquez koud uitgeslaan het. Die skeidsregter waai dadelik van die geveg 1:51 in ronde een.
Gustavo Trujillo verslaan Lorenzo Hunt deur tegniese uitklophou in die eerste ronde van hul skroot van 205 pond. Terwyl Hunt vorentoe spring om 'n slag te gooi, Trujillo het 'n kragtige, kort regterhand van sy eie, stuur Hunt met die gesig na die doek neergestort. Hunt maak dit weer regop, maar die skeidsregter het genoeg gesien, stop die aksie net 1:01 in die eerste raam.
Francesco Ricchi gestop Fred Pierce in die eerste ronde van hul wedstryd van 175 pond. 'N Uiters roekelose Pierce is vroeg deur Ricchi gevang en laat val. Pierce verkies om op te staan en verder te veg, maar sy wilde weë voortgesit, het weer verstom geraak en toe op sy voete by die 1:38 punt van ronde een.
In die begin-per-uitsig-wedstryd, Travis Thompson 'n oorwinning oor die tweede ronde met die tweede ronde verseker Joshua Boudreaux in hul geveg van 135 pond.

Nashville, Tenn. (Februarie 15, 2020) – Fighting in front of a raucous hometown crowd for the first time in his professional career, undefeated IBF Super Middleweight World ChampionKaleb “Liefies” Plant (20-0, 12 Uitklophoue) sit op 'n show.
Plant dominated mandatory challengerVincent Feigenbutz (31-3, 28 Uitklophoue) Duitsland, scoring 'n 10ste-round TKO Saturday night in the FOX PBC Fight Night main event and on FOX Deportes from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
Plant, who grew up in neighboring Ashland City, successfully made the second defense of the world title he won in January 2019 with a thrilling 12-round unanimous decision over then-titlist Jose Uzcategui. “Liefies” lived up to his moniker, breaking down Germany’s Feigenbutz before putting him away.
“I was super fueled by the crowd tonight,” Plant said. “I could have gone all night. The whole city came out. Nashville stand up!”
Plant gave them plenty to cheer about from the opening bell, landing his jab up and downstairs. The aggressive Feigenbutz, 24, struggled to land anything in return.
Plant began landing the combinations in the third, bringing the crowd to his feet with a series of well-placed volleys.
Those shots slowly took their toll, but Feigenbutz was game. He came alive in the sixth, pinning Plant against the ropes and unloading his own combinations. Plant covered up and shook his head as if unbothered.
Plant pounded Feigenbutz in the seventh and eighth, opening up a cut on his nose and swelling his right eye. The challenger absorbed more punishment in the ninth, causing the ringside doctor to take a hard look at him in between rounds.
The end came swiftly in the 10steas Plant, sensing his foe was weakening, pounded away until referee Malik Waleed mercifully stepped in. The official time of the stoppage was 2:23 of the 10th.
“I felt great out there,” Said Plant. “I was relaxed and sharp. I told you I was going to stop this before the 12th round. I want to dedicate this to my daughter, to my mother, my grandfather and the whole city of Nashville.”
The champion also stated his desire to unify versus unbeaten WBC counterpart and rival, David Benavidez.
“Everyone knows I want that unification fight with David Benavidez,” Plant stated. “You know who the best 168-pounder is. If you want that, you’ve got to come see me. I want that fight; I’ve been asking for it and I’m tired of waiting!”
In die mede-hoofren, Abel Ramosscored a stunning last second TKO victory overBryant Perrellain a scheduled 10-round welterweight match. Heading into the 10steand final round Ramos was told by his cornermen that he needed a knockout to win. Ramos (26-3-2, 20 Uitklophoue) delivered, badly hurting and dropping Perrella twice in the waning seconds of the frame, prompting referee Jack Reiss to wave the welterweight co-main event off with just one second remaining.
“I know the fight’s not over until it’s over,” said Ramos. “That’s the game. I’ve been sick for two weeks. But no excuses. I wanted to come here and perform.
“I watched the Chavez-Taylor fight like 10 million times and I never thought I’d be in something like that. It just goes to prove that fights are never over till it’s over. You have to fight every single second of every single round.”
Watch Ramos stun Perrella at the end of Round 10 HIER.
Perrella (17-3, 14 Uitklophoue) was up on all three cards at the time of the stoppage; 87-84 and two scores of 88-83.
“This is boxing. It’s like Meldrick Taylor and Chavez,” Said Perrella, agreeing with Ramos’ comments. “These things just happen. I’m not going to take anything away from my opponent. I was winning every round convincingly. Wat kan ek sê? There was second left in the 10th round. It’s like a needle in the haystack. It is what it is.”
Southpaw Perrella controlled much of the action, using side to side movement, angles and rapid-fire combinations to stifle Ramos’ offense. A left hook in the third briefly buckled Ramos. Another in the fifth stunned him.
“Perrella’s a tough fighter,” said Ramos. “He’s a strong, strong fighter. Ek het niks, maar respek vir hom. I expected a tough fight and that’s what happened.”
Ramos never stopped coming forward, picking up the pace as Perrella slowed down. Met 34 seconds remaining in the 10ste, Ramos landed a perfect left uppercut flush on the chin. Perrella sank to the mat, getting up on unsteady legs. Ramos pounced once action resumed, unloading until a straight right drove Perrella to the floor again. Weer, he made it to his feet but couldn’t walk straight without stumbling. Reiss immediately waved it off at 2:59.
“Everything was going well, and I was winning the fight, round by round,” Said Perrella. “Ek weet nie. This is boxing. That’s the thing about the sport. Dit is wat dit is. There’s nothing I can do about it. I’m not going to make up any excuses or take anything away from my opponent. It’s just an experience that you go through in life and you have to overcome it. Absolutely I’d like to do it again with him. We can get a rematch in for sure.”
“I want all the welterweights,” Ramos exclaimed. “I’d like to have another big TV fight and go out there and prove myself.”
The FOX PBC Fight Night opener featured a back-and-forth battle between lightweightsAustin Dulay en Diego Magdaleno. Magdaleno produced one of the finest performances of his career, dropping Dulay on his way to a 10-round unanimous decision victory in a minor upset.
The 33-year-old Magdaleno (32-3, 13 Uitklophoue) was simply busier, particularly down the stretch in this battle of southpaws.
“I knew mentally I could break him down,” said Magdaleno. “If I attacked the body, I knew I could break him down. He’s a young prospect. He’s taller than me so my plan of attack was to get in close and go to the body.”
Dulay disagreed with the decision. “I boxed the hell out of him every round, making him miss, catching shots, countering. Ja, he hit me with a few good body shots. That doesn’t replace the heavy shots that I hit him with every single round for 10 rounds straight. That is madness. And it was a unanimous decision? That’s crazy. That’s unbelievable to me.
“Even Diego just told me that he had nothing to do with the decision. He knows. How can they do that to me in my hometown? That’s dirty man.”
Fighting in front of his fellow Nashville residents, Dulay (13-2, 10 Uitklophoue) started fast, landing several clean lefts in the second. Magdaleno never stopped coming forward, working behind the jab and landing to Dulay’s body.
Watch early round action between Austin Dulay and Diego MagdalenoHIER enHIER.
Some of those shots strayed low which elicited warnings from referee Jack Reiss. Egter, the work paid off as Dulay’s output dropped over the course of the bout. The sixth featured some of the best exchanges of the bout. Magdaleno got the better of those, landing a right to the ribs followed by one upstairs.
Magdaleno continued to press the attack in the seventh, scoring the fight’s only knockdown with a hard left hook to the solar plexus.
Watch Magdaleno score a knockdown vs Dulay in Round 7 HIER.
Once action resumed, Magdaleno pounded at his ribs until a left hook strayed low and dropped Magdaleno, causing Reiss to deduct a point.
“Every round he was hitting me low and, in the back, and on the hips,” said Dulay. “It was more times than he got called for. I won that fight 100%.”
Sensing the fight slipping away, Dulay picked up the pace over the last three rounds. It wasn’t enough to overcome Magdaleno’s work rate, which earned him a win by scores of 97-91, 96-92 en 96-92.
“Experience has everything going for me. In my previous fight, I lost my head,” said Magdaleno. “This time I took my time. My camp said slow it down. Happy for the victory tonight.”
On the non-televised undercard, former world bantamweight championRau’Shee “Nuke” Warren (17-3, 4 Uitklophoue) ended a 13-month layoff with a wide 10-round unanimous decision overGilberto Mendoza (15-8-3, 7 Uitklophoue).
The 33-year-old Warren used his fast hands to land an assortment of shots from his lefty stance. In die vierde, a clash of heads opened a cut over the left eye of Mexico’s Mendoza. Warren sought to close the show, but Mendoza was game, firing back though outgunned.
Two judges scored it 99-91 and the third judge had it 100-90.
“It felt good to get back in there after being off for a year,” Warren said. “I didn’t feel like a rookie. I felt like I had to get a little rust off me. But I think I got most of the rust off when I was in the gym training. Gaan 10 rounds it felt good.”
“I hope to get back in May,” said Warren. “I only need 90 dae. I’ve already had my long layoff since last January when I fought on Pacquiao and Adrien’s card. I’m ready to get it on. I’m ready to move on. The only thing he did that I didn’t expect him to do was stay up.”
The event was promoted by Sweethands Promotions, TGB Promotions and Sauerland Promotions.

Kruis, van Mexico City, rode his superior work rate, a lethal body attack, and his ability to neutralize Mattice’s jab to the victory. The judges scored the fight 95-95 en 96-94 twee keer.
Cruz threw an average of 69.4 punches per round, in vergelyking met 57.8 punches per round for Mattice. The much shorter Cruz, standing at 5’4” ½, was fearless from the opening bell and held an 82-31 advantage in body punches connected. Mattice, 5’8” ½, was also out-jabbed 34-30. Making his sixth appearance onShoBox, Cleveland’s Mattice was hampered by another slow start, a theme in his previous appearances on the prospect development series. Through the first two rounds, Cruz held advantages of 49-15 in overall punches landed and 39-8 in power punches connected.
“We were going for the knockout but it didn’t come up so we’ll take the decision,"Sê Cruz. “I thought I won all 10 rondes. I don’t know what fight the judges were watching. Round one to 10 I dominated and I was never hurt.”
A strong finish in the 10steand final round was not enough for Mattice to salvage a draw.
“I came up short,” said Mattice. “He was the better man. He could hit a little bit. I started out a little slow, trying to see what he had. He jumped out to an early lead and I was just trying to get familiar with his power. Ek het geen verskonings. Hy was die beter man vanaand. "
In die mede-featured bout, Ra’eese Aleem (16-0, 10 Uitklophoue) burst onto the scene in his national television debut, putting on a boxing clinic by scoring a fourth-round TKO in a scheduled eight-round super bantamweight bout over San Antonio’s Adam Lopez (19-4-2, 9 Uitklophoue).
Aleem, from Muskegon, Mich., proved to be overwhelming for Lopez, who was making his record eighth appearance onShoBox.Van die opening klok, Aleem attacked from all angles as a reactive and slower Lopez was unable to cope with the wide array of punches. The 29-year-old Aleem held a commanding 92-11 advantage in overall punches, including a lopsided 61-7 power punches advantage.
With blood dripping from his nose and scalp, Lopez’s corner asked referee Gary Rosato to stop the fight at 1:31 van die vierde ronde. Watch the TKOHIER.
“I put in a lot of hard work,” said Aleem, who now lives and trains in Las Vegas. “I didn’t see any film on the guy but knew he was a tough Mexican fighter. Once we got in there, I could see the speed difference. I could see his punches coming. I did rush some punches and made some mistakes. But it was good and I kept my hands up and my speed and movements were good. And I’m glad I stopped him. I didn’t want to go the distance.
“I want a world title fight and I’m knocking on the door. I’m hungry and I’m ready. I know Danny Roman just lost the title. Brandon Figueroa, whoever is there in the top-10 I’m ready for. I’m hungry and I’m coming and I want that fight.”
In the second fight of the four-fight telecast, Cleveland’s flashy unbeaten super lightweight Montana Love (13-0-1, 6 Uitklophoue) verbeter sy rekord tot 2-0-1 opShoBox, putting in a professional display en route to a unanimous decision over Jerrico Walton (16-1, 7 Uitklophoue), who fights out of Houston by way of New Orleans. The judges scored the fight 78-74 en 77-75 twee keer. Watch fight highlightsHIER
“I think Love did enough to win,” said SHOWTIME Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood. “The rounds he won, he won more convincingly. Love did the serious damage in the fight.”
Walton, with noted trainer Ronnie Shields working his corner, threw slightly more punches than Love, but in a fight decided by big moments, Love had more of them, veral in die laat rondes. Love was more accurate on his power punches (43 percent to 21 persent) and in body shots (56-23). The southpaw also hurt Walton on two separate occasions, but the 29-year-old did enough to hang on and survive the rounds.
“I give my performance a C-plus,” said the 25-year-old Love. “I could have been more active in there. I didn’t get hit a lot and I hurt him a few times but I let him off the hook.
“I was getting off good shots, and the thing I’m mad about is that the fight should not have gone the distance. I’m ready for whatever’s next. My team is trying to get me to 135 pond. "
Walton was making his national television debut. “I think the fight was closer than it was scored; I think it was at least a draw,"Het hy gesê. “I don’t think the fight was 78-74. I’m very disappointed but I’m not going to stop. They’re going to see me again. This is only going to push me harder.”
With his first career loss, Walton became the 191stfighter to lose his undefeated record onShoBox, boxing’s ultimate proving ground.
In a battle of unbeaten super welterweights making theirShoBoxdebuts in the telecast opener, North Carolina’s Joseph Jackson (16-0, 12 Uitklophoue) handed Derrick Colemon, Jr. (11-1, 8 Uitklophoue) his first career loss. Jackson overcame a slow start to earn the unanimous decision. Die tellings was 77-75, 80-72, 78-74. Watch the decisionHIER.
The younger and more aggressive Colemon of Detroit started strong, controlling the first three rounds before the savvier and more mature Jackson commanded the second half of the bout. In rounds six through eight, Jackson out-landed Colemon 76-19 overall and 50-9 op die mag stoot. Jackson’s movement and activity frustrated and tired Colemon, who went past five rounds for the first time in his career. Farhood scored the first three rounds in favor of Colemon and the final five rounds for Jackson.
“We just dug deep and got the job done,” said the 31-year-old Jackson. “I’d give my performance an eight out of 10. I know I can show better. I had about 40 people come out from Greensboro, N.C., and support me.
“I’ll fight whoever they put out in front of me next. It’s SHOWTIME and my first televised fight and first fight outside of North Carolina so it was important to put on a show.”

Unbeaten WBC Heavyweight Champion Wilder & Undefeated Lineal Heavyweight Champion Fury Square Off in Highly Anticipated Rematch Taking Place Saturday, Februarie 22 in Historic Mega PPV Event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (Februarie 13, 2020) – The upcoming rematch between WBC Heavyweight ChampionDeontay “Die Brons Bomber” Wilderand lineal championTyson “The Gypsy King” Furyis the biggest heavyweight title fight in history.
Letterlik.
Standing 6’7″ and 6’9″ onderskeidelik, Wilder and Fury create the greatest combined height ever seen in a bout for the WBC, Ring Magazine and lineal heavyweight titles, standing a collective 13 feet and 4 inches. The only heavyweight title bout “taller,” om so te praat, took place in 2007, when the 7-foot Nikolay Valuev defended his WBA heavyweight title against the 6’6″ Jameel McCline. But never before have the sport’s very best big men been as large as they are today.
To put in perspective how large Wilder and Fury are, it’s best to compare them to the land of giants: The NBA. Consider the fact that at 6’7″ and in the neighborhood of 220 pond, Wilder is the same size as Los Angeles Clippers small forward Kawhi Leonard. Fury, meanwhile, is nearly identical to LeBron James in terms of height and weight.
These days, a look at the Top 10 of any rankings you choose shows that most contenders are built like Super Bowl champion tight end Travis Kelce, who stands 6’6″ and weighs around 250 pond.
As anyone who watched the thrilling first contest between Wilder and Fury will know, the two are indeed athletes, far from the lumbering behemoths you might expect men of their measurements to be. Wilder might be known for his titanic one-punch power, but he’s displayed some truly dynamic movement in the ring as well. Go watch the tape of his knockout of Bermane Stiverne and watch him bound laterally to create angles before landing his devastating shots, juking like a wide receiver in the open field, and you can see why Wilder dreamt of playing college football at Alabama when he was in high school.
Fury never dreamt of doing anything other than boxing-how could you when you were named after a heavyweight legend and born into a family rich with fighting history in Ireland. But the “Gypsy King” was also born with remarkable nimbleness to go along with a lifetime of developed boxing acumen, gliding around the ring and boxing with a style that would befit a welterweight, not a power forward-sized heavyweight.
Wilder and Fury are distinctive because ironically, giants aren’t usually dominant in sporting fields. While some have been all-time greats-i.e. the 6’9″ Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara, who is a lock for the Hockey Hall of Fame-often times big men are known mostly just for being big, and don’t reach the pinnacle of their sport. And understandably so. Being colossally large is often a hindrance in as many ways as it’s an advantage, particularly when it comes to movement and dexterity. The NFL’s tallest player, seven-footer Richard Singh, played just eight career games, the MLB’s all-time tallest player, the 6’11” Jon Rauch, was a journeyman reliever, and tennis’ 6’10” and 6’11” skyscrapers Ivo Karlovic, John Isner and Rilley Opelka have no majors to their names.
As human beings have become bigger and stronger over the years, natuurlik, so have boxers. Rocky Marciano, standing 5’10 ½” and weighing just above 180 pond, would be a tiny cruiserweight by today’s standards. Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali, considered by many to be the two greatest heavyweights of all-time, and certainly not tiny fighters in their time, stood 6’1 ½” and 6’3″ onderskeidelik. Theoretically, Louis would give up nine inches in reach to Fury, whose wingspan is 85″. There were outliers in earlier eras, of course-Jess Willard and Ernie Terrell were 6’6″ and above and captured heavyweight titles-but for decades it was possible to be the size of a modern cruiserweight and not just compete, but be an imposing figure in the division.
Things began to change in the late 80s and 90s, when Tony Tucker, Riddick Bowe and Lennox Lewis, a trio of 6’6″ heavies captured belts. But the modern era was ushered in by Vitali and Wladimir Klitscko, the 6’6″ brothers who essentially ruled the division for the better part of a decade before Fury unseated Wladimir for the lineal crown in 2015.
Boxing has had its share of giants through the years, many of which have fallen short of the elite levels. In recent times, fans will remember the much-hyped American prospect Tye Fields, a towering 6’8″ southpaw who despite a massive amount of hype, never fought for a world title. Julius “The Towering Inferno” Long started his career 5-0, and at 7’1″ with a 90″ reach looked like a force to be reckoned with, before settling in as one of the sport’s most notorious journeymen and reliable sparring partners.
Wilder and Fury are a remarkable blend of size and athleticism and are bucking the trend that you can be “too big” to be great. As the rematch nears, it’s exciting-or perhaps scary-to think about the next evolution of heavyweights that will come after these two. There was a time when the great George Foreman, at 6’3″ and with a 78″ reach, or Larry Holmes at 6’3″ with an 81″ reach, were considered among the most daunting physical presences to ever step in the ring. But Wilder and Fury have set a new physical standard. Will NBA-sized heavyweights become the norm in the coming years?
At least for the moment, Wilder and Fury are far from normal. They’re colossal presences, Ja, but they’re also the two very best heavyweights in the world at the peak of their powers, looking to follow up one of the most memorable fights, and hotly debated draws in recent history.
Who will stand tall on February 22?
