LOS ANGELES (Oktober. 23, 2015) – To tunge giganter vil lukke ut 2015 boksing året med et smell på Desember 19, som tidligere verdensmester tittel kandidat Bryant “Av-By” Jennings (19-1, 10 KOs) tar på seg nylig kronet WBA Interim Heavyweight belte holder Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz(23-0, 20 KOs) i en 12-runde mesterskapet kampen. Arrangementet vil finne sted på Turning Stone Resort Casino, i Verona, New York og vil bli TV live på HBO Boxing After Dark.
“Til overskriften en HBO hendelse og kjemper en tidligere verdensmester tittel kandidat som Jennings er hva jeg har forberedt hele min karriere for,” sa Luis Ortiz. “Jeg vet at etter denne kampen folk vil vite at jeg fortjener en sjanse til å bli den "tunge Champion of the World.’ Jeg tror Jennings ikke engang vet hva han stepping på på 19, Jeg kommer til å gjøre en uttalelse. This fight is going to be an exciting stepping stone to achieve my dream.”
“With a mix of speed, power and amateur pedigree that is second-to-none, Luis Ortiz has quickly established himself as a force in the heavyweight division,” sa Oscar De La Hoya, President and CEO of Golden Boy Promotions. “Luis is so hungry to continue his rise in the division that he has agreed to fight an enormously talented opponent in Bryant Jennings just two months after Luis’ destruction of Matias Vidondo to win the WBA Interim title. Boxing fans looking for a premiere heavyweight fight should make sure to tune in to HBO’s Boxing After Dark on 19 desember.”
“It’s my pleasure to bring another great heavyweight showdown to the boxing fans with Bryant Jennings taking on an undefeated fighter like Luis Ortiz. The fans know that I have always, and will continue, to put on real competitive fights,” sa Gary Shaw.
Shaw continued, “Jennings is a true professional who remains in phenomenal shape throughout the year. He showed in his last fight versus Klitschko that he belongs with the elite heavyweights and understands the challenges that lie ahead. Ortiz, who brings a high knockout ratio to the ring, will have his hands full, and Jennings is nothing like the fighter he just fought, whom he knocked out in the third round. Ortiz has never faced a challenge of a Philadelphia fighter like Bryant Jennings and he’s going to find out real quick that this is another level. Jennings is ready to continue his quest to become heavyweight champion with VADA testing agreed to by both promotional companies for this fight.”
“Jeg gleder meg til å få tilbake i ringen mot Luis Ortiz, en annen stor tungvekter,” Said Bryant Jennings. “He’s coming off an impressive win and he thinks he’s at the top of his game. These are the typical type of opponents I like to showcase my skills against. I’ve come a long way since my last fight against Klitschko, and I have continued to train with a fierce intensity. When you suffer defeat for the first time you learn things about yourself you never knew. I’ve improved a great deal on all aspects of my game both mentally and physically. The world will see a great fight when I square off against Ortiz, at jeg kan garantere deg. Jeg skal kjøre den WBA beltet hjem til Philly.”
“Denne kampen er mellom to jevnt matchede tungvektere, og som alltid har en renhet til sin mystikk,” sa Peter Nelson, vice president of programming for HBO Sports. “Jennings has proven to have heart in equal scale to what Ortiz has shown in power. På Desember 19, vi vil se en kamp.”
“Vi gleder oss til hosting en spennende natt i boksing at Turning Stone med HBO, Gullgutten Kampanjer og Gary Shaw Productions,” sa Ray Halbritter, Oneida Nation Representant og Nation Bedrifter CEO. “I tre år, vi har vert 16 nasjonalt tv kamper, skille vår resort som fremste reisemål for verdensklasse boksing.”
