En l'esdeveniment co-principal, 2016 Olympian and undefeated super lightweight prospect Richardson Hitchins (10-0, 5 KOs) takes on Rhode Island’s Nick DeLomba (16-2, 5KOs) in a 10-round bout and once-beaten Las Vegas native Kevin Newman II (11-1-1, 6 KOs) faces Albania’s Genc Pllana (7-1-1, 4 KOs) in a 10-round super middleweight matchup that opens the telecast.
Hunter, 27, torna a 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. Aquest és el meu temps, 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, and many others. 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 per l'AMB, 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: La Nova Generació. 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.

The event, titled “NEF 43: Avalot,” will take place on Saturday, Abril 18, 2020, with a bell-time of 7 pm EDT.Zac “Rocky” Richard(6-2-1) is scheduled to defend the NEF Amateur Lightweight Title that evening against the challenge ofDevin Corson(3-1). They will meet at the lightweight championship limit of 155 pounds in a bout scheduled for five three-minute rounds.
Richard won the then-vacant championship last November in Portland, Maine with a unanimous decision victory over “Magic” Mike Murray (3-2). He is no stranger to titles, having won a Maine State Championship wrestling for Massabesic High School in Waterboro in 2015. The win capped a tremendous sophomore year in the cage for Richard as the follow-up to his 2018 “Rookie of the Year” season. The last time Richard fought on the stage of the Collins Center, al setembre 2019, he scored a vicious slam knockout of Erik Tainter (0-2). The slam has become a signature move for Richard over the course of his young career. He is a product of Nostos MMA of Somersworth, New Hampshire where he trains under UFC veteran and former NEF Professional Lightweight Champion Devin Powell (10-4).
“Devin can say whatever he wants about me winning my title ‘at the right time,’” said Richard. “He’s had his offers. He’s got it. Unluckily for him, he’s got the most motivated Zac there has ever been. I do predict this fight, encara que, to be a great one.”
Speaking of slams, there may be no athlete who has ever delivered more highlight-reel slams in the NEF cage than the challenger Devin Corson. Like Richard, Corson brings a strong wrestling base with him to the MMA game, having been a standout competitor on the mats for Foxcroft Academy in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine. Corson is currently riding a two-fight win-streak with unanimous decision wins over both Jacob Deppmeyer (ara 1-0 com a professional) and Taylor Bartlett (2-3-1) in 2019. He represents the Outlet based in Dexter, Maine.
“I don’t think much about Zac besides he is in my way,” stated Corson. “He’s the man I have to defeat to get the 155 belt. After all is said and done, I will be the one with my hand raised.”

Febrer 17 de, Nova York — China’s Meng Fanlong (16-0, 10 KOs) will fight IBF & WBC light heavyweight champion, Artur Beterbiev (15-0, 15 KOs), March 28th at the Videotron Center in Quebec City, Canadà. 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.”
Tickets for Beterbiev vs. Meng can be purchased atwww.ticketmaster.caor the Videotron Center box office Meng. More event details will be announced at a later time. For interview requests and media opportunities, please contact Terry Lane – tmlane@gmail.com.

“My Jiu Jitsu helps and comes in handy,” continued Alers. “I’m able to push him around, control his weight, and it definitely plays a part in this game. En MMA, I always wanted to take people down and submit them. Now that I get the chance to just knock people out, I’m hungry for blood. I’m hungry for those knockouts. Next one, I promise you guys a knockout!”

Nashville, Tenn. (Febrer 15, 2020) – Lluitant davant d’una descarada multitud de la ciutat natal per primera vegada en la seva carrera professional, invicte campió del món de pes mitjà de la IBF Caleb “Sweethands” Planta (20-0, 12 KOs) posar en un espectacle.
La planta domina el desafiament obligatori Vincent Feigenbutz (31-3, 28 KOs) d'Alemanya, Fer un 10º-ronda TKO dissabte a la nit a l'esdeveniment principal FOX PBC Fight Night i a FOX Deportes des del Bridgestone Arena de Nashville.
Planta, que va créixer a la veïna Ashland City, va fer amb èxit la segona defensa del títol mundial que va guanyar al gener 2019 amb una emocionant decisió unànime de 12 rondes sobre el llavors titular Jose Uzcategui. “Sweethands” va estar a l'altura del seu sobrenom, trencant l’alemany Feigenbutz abans d’allunyar-lo.
“Aquesta nit em va alimentar molt la gent,” Va dir la planta. “Podria haver anat tota la nit. Va sortir tota la ciutat. Nashville es posa de peu!”
Plant els va donar moltes coses per animar-se des de la campana inicial, aterrant el punxó amunt i avall. L’agressiu Feigenbutz, 24, va lluitar per aconseguir qualsevol cosa a canvi.
Plant va començar a aterrar les combinacions al tercer, fent pujar la multitud amb una sèrie de salves ben col·locades.
Mireu els moments destacats de la ronda inicial AQUÍ i AQUÍ.
Aquests trets van passar factura lentament, però Feigenbutz era un joc. Va arribar viu al sisè, fixant Plant contra les cordes i descarregant les seves pròpies combinacions. La planta es va tapar i va sacsejar el cap com si no li molestés.
La planta va picar Feigenbutz al setè i vuitè, obrint-li un tall al nas i inflant l’ull dret. El desafiant va absorbir més càstigs al novè, provocant que el metge de la platja el mirés durament entre les rondes.
El final va arribar ràpidament al 10º com a Planta, sentir que el seu enemic es debilitava, es va apallissar fins que l'àrbitre Malik Waleed va entrar amb compassió. L’hora oficial de l’aturada era 2:23 del 10è.
“Em vaig sentir molt bé per aquí,” aquesta planta. “Estava relaxat i agut. Ja et vaig dir que ho detindria abans de la 12a ronda. Vull dedicar-ho a la meva filla, a la meva mare, el meu avi i tota la ciutat de Nashville.”
El campió també va manifestar el seu desig d’unir-se contra el seu rival i el seu homòleg invicte, David Benavidez.
“Tothom sap que vull aquesta lluita per la unificació amb David Benavidez,” Planta declarada. “Sabeu qui és el millor 168 lliures. Si vols això, has de venir a veure’m. Vull aquesta baralla; Ho he estat demanant i estic fart d’esperar!”
En l'esdeveniment co-principal, Abel Ramos va aconseguir una impressionant victòria del TKO de l'últim segon sobreBryant Perrella en un partit de pes welter de 10 rondes programat. Direcció cap al 10ºi la ronda final, els seus cantoners van dir a Ramos que necessitava un eliminatòria per guanyar. Ramos (26-3-2, 20 KOs) lliurat, fent mal i deixant caure Perrella dues vegades en els segons minvants del quadre, cosa que va provocar que l'àrbitre Jack Reiss anul·lés el coprimestre de pes welter amb només un segon per acabar.
“Sé que la lluita no s’ha acabat fins que no s’acaba,” va dir Ramos. “Aquest és el joc. Fa dues setmanes que estic malalt. Però no hi ha excuses. Volia venir aquí i actuar.
“Vaig veure la lluita de Chavez-Taylor com 10 milions de vegades i mai vaig pensar que seria en alguna cosa així. Simplement demostra que les baralles no s’acaben mai fins que s’acaba. Has de lluitar cada segon de cada ronda.”
Mireu Ramos atordir Perrella al final de la ronda 10 AQUÍ.
Perrella (17-3, 14 KOs) estava en les tres cartes en el moment de l’aturada; 87-84 i dues puntuacions de 88-83.
“Això és la boxa. És com Meldrick Taylor i Chávez,” Said Perrella, d'acord amb Ramos’ comentaris. “Tot això passa. No vaig a treure res del meu oponent. Guanyava cada ronda de forma convincent. Què puc dir,? Quedava segon a la 10a ronda. És com una agulla al paller. És el que és.”
Southpaw Perrella va controlar gran part de l'acció, utilitzant moviment de costat a costat, angles i combinacions de foc ràpid per sufocar Ramos’ ofensa. Un ganxo esquerre al tercer va tancar breument Ramos. Un altre del cinquè el va sorprendre.
“Perrella és un lluitador dur,” va dir Ramos. “És un fort, lluitador fort. No tinc més que respecte per ell. Esperava una baralla dura i això va passar.”
Ramos mai va deixar d’avançar, agafant el ritme mentre Perrella es desaccelerava. Amb 34 segons restants al fitxer 10º, Ramos va aterrar a la barbeta una esquinçada superior perfecta. Perrella es va enfonsar a la catifa, aixecar-se sobre cames inestables. Ramos es va precipitar un cop es va reprendre l'acció, descarregant fins que una dreta recta va conduir Perrella cap a terra. De nou, es va posar en peu però no podia caminar recte sense ensopegar. Reiss ho va fer immediatament 2:59.
“Tot anava bé, i guanyava la baralla, ronda a ronda,” Said Perrella. “No ho sé. Això és la boxa. Això és l’esport. És el que és. No hi puc fer res. No vaig a inventar excuses ni a treure res del meu oponent. És només una experiència que visqueu a la vida i l’heu de superar. Absolutament, m’agradaria tornar a fer-ho amb ell. Podem obtenir una revenja segur.”
“Vull tots els pesos welter,” Va exclamar Ramos. “M’agradaria tenir una altra gran baralla televisiva i sortir per demostrar-me.”
L'obridor FOX PBC Fight Night va presentar una batalla d'anada i tornada entre pesos lleugersAustin Dulay i Diego Magdaleno. Magdaleno va produir una de les millors actuacions de la seva carrera, deixant caure Dulay en el seu camí cap a una victòria per decisió unànime de deu rondes en un trastorn menor.
La Magdaleno, de 33 anys (32-3, 13 KOs) era simplement més ocupat, particularment en el tram en aquesta batalla de southpaws.
“Sabia mentalment que podia trencar-lo,” va dir Magdaleno. “Si atacés el cos, Sabia que podia trencar-lo. És una perspectiva jove. És més alt que jo, de manera que el meu pla d’atac era apropar-me i anar al cos.”
Dulay no va estar d'acord amb la decisió. “Vaig caure a l’infern cada ronda, fent-lo trobar a faltar, captures de trets, contrarestar. Sí, em va colpejar amb uns bons trets corporals. Això no substitueix els forts tirs pels quals el vaig colpejar a cada ronda 10 arrodoneix recte. Això és una bogeria. I va ser una decisió unànime? És una bogeria. Això és increïble per a mi.
“Fins i tot Diego em va dir que no tenia res a veure amb la decisió. Ell sap. Com em poden fer això a la meva ciutat natal? Això és un home brut.”
Lluitant davant dels seus companys de Nashville, Dulay (13-2, 10 KOs) va començar ràpid, aterrant diverses esquerres netes a la segona. Magdaleno no va deixar mai d’avançar-se, treballant darrere del punxó i aterrant al cos de Dulay.
Mireu l’acció inicial entre Austin Dulay i Diego Magdaleno AQUÍ iAQUÍ.
Alguns d'aquests tirs es van desviar, cosa que va provocar l'advertència de l'àrbitre Jack Reiss. No obstant això, la feina va donar els seus fruits a mesura que la producció de Dulay va caure al llarg del combat. El sisè va comptar amb alguns dels millors intercanvis del combat. Magdaleno va superar-los, aterrant a la dreta cap a les costelles seguit per un al pis de dalt.
Magdaleno va continuar pressionant l'atac al setè, aconseguint l’únic enderroc de la lluita amb un dur ganxo esquerre al plexe solar.
Mira Magdaleno anotar una derrota contra Dulay a la ronda 7 AQUÍ.
Un cop reprès l'acció, Magdaleno va colpejar-li les costelles fins que un ganxo esquerre es va desviar i va deixar caure Magdaleno, fent que Reiss dedueixi un punt.
“Cada ronda em pegava poc i, al darrera, i als malucs,” va dir Dulay. “Van ser més vegades del que li van demanar. Vaig guanyar aquesta baralla al 100%.”
Sentint que la baralla s’escapava, Dulay va agafar el ritme durant les tres darreres rondes. No va ser suficient per superar el ritme de treball de Magdaleno, la qual cosa li va valer una victòria per una vintena de 97-91, 96-92 i 96-92.
“L’experiència té tot per a mi. En la meva baralla anterior, Vaig perdre el cap,” va dir Magdaleno. “Aquesta vegada em vaig prendre el meu temps. El meu camp va dir que alentiu-lo. Feliç per la victòria d’aquesta nit.”
A la targeta interior no televisada, antic campió del món de pes gallo Rau’Shee “Nuke” Cau (17-3, 4 KOs) va acabar un acomiadament de 13 mesos amb una àmplia decisió unànime de deu rodes Gilberto Mendoza (15-8-3, 7 KOs).
Warren, de 33 anys, va utilitzar les seves mans ràpides per aconseguir un assortiment de trets des de la seva postura esquerrana. A la quarta, un xoc de caps va obrir un tall a l’ull esquerre del Mendoza de Mèxic. Warren va intentar tancar l'espectacle, però Mendoza era un joc, disparant enrere encara que superat.
Dos jutges la van anotar 99-91 i el tercer jutge la tenia 100-90.
“Va estar bé tornar-hi després d’estar un any fora,” Warren va dir. “No em sentia com un novell. Em sentia com si m’hagués d’oxidar una mica. Però crec que em vaig treure la major part de l’òxid quan estava a l’entrenament del gimnàs. Va 10 rondes se sentia bé.”
“Espero tornar al maig,” va dir Warren. “Només necessito 90 dia. Ja tinc el meu llarg acomiadament des del gener passat, quan vaig lluitar amb la targeta de Pacquiao i Adrien. Estic preparat per aconseguir-ho. Estic preparat per seguir endavant. L’únic que va fer que no esperava que fes va ser mantenir-se despert.”

PHILADELPHIA – February 15, 2020 -Undefeated 21-year-old lightweight prospect Isaac Cruz stunnedShoBox: La Nova Generacióveteran Thomas Mattice in a closely contested majority decision win in theShoBoxmain event Friday night from 2300 Sorra a Filadèlfia, Pare. Watch the fight highlightsAQUÍ.
Creu, de la Ciutat de Mèxic, 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 i 96-94 dues vegades.
Cruz threw an average of 69.4 punches per round, comparat amb 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,"Va dir Creu. “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 10ºand 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. No tinc excuses. Ell va ser el millor home aquesta nit ".
En la baralla co-estel·lar, Ra’eese Aleem (16-0, 10 KOs) 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 KOs).
Aleem, from Muskegon, Mich., proved to be overwhelming for Lopez, who was making his record eighth appearance onShoBox.Des de la campana inicial, 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 de la quarta ronda. Watch the TKOAQUÍ.
“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 KOs) va millorar el seu rècord a 2-0-1 aShoBox, putting in a professional display en route to a unanimous decision over Jerrico Walton (16-1, 7 KOs), who fights out of Houston by way of New Orleans. The judges scored the fight 78-74 i 77-75 dues vegades. Watch fight highlightsAQUÍ
“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, especialment en els últims rounds. Love was more accurate on his power punches (43 percent to 21 per cent) 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 lliura ".
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,"Ell va dir. “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 KOs) handed Derrick Colemon, Jr. (11-1, 8 KOs) his first career loss. Jackson overcame a slow start to earn the unanimous decision. Les puntuacions van ser 77-75, 80-72, 78-74. Watch the decisionAQUÍ.
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 en cops de poder. 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.”
Friday’s fights were promoted by King’s Promotions in association with GH3 Promotions. The full telecast will replay on Monday, Febrer 17 a 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ANYTIME®and SHOWTIME on DEMAND®.

Unbeaten WBC Heavyweight Champion Wilder & Undefeated Lineal Heavyweight Champion Fury Square Off in Highly Anticipated Rematch Taking Place Saturday, Febrer 22 in Historic Mega PPV Event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (Febrer 13, 2020) – The upcoming rematch between WBC Heavyweight ChampionDeontay “El bombarder de Bronze” Wilderand lineal championTyson “The Gypsy King” Fúriais the biggest heavyweight title fight in history.
Literally.
Standing 6’7″ and 6’9″ respectivament, 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,” per dir-ho, 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 lliura, Wilder is the same size as Los Angeles Clippers small forward Kawhi Leonard. Fúria, 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 lliura.
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, naturalment, so have boxers. Rocky Marcià, standing 5’10 ½” and weighing just above 180 lliura, 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″ respectivament. 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, si, 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?
