JERMELL Charlo

"Avem 10 mai sunt zile și sunt entuziasmat. Acesta este cel mai important moment din viața mea. Îmi place asta. Fac asta de când eram copil. Experiența mea în interiorul și în afara ringului a dus la asta. Acum este momentul să pun totul în joc.

„Castaño va lăsa totul în ring. Deci nu jucăm niciun joc. M-am antrenat foarte greu. Am adăugat lucruri care m-au făcut mai bun pentru că știu cu adevărat că aceasta va fi o luptă grozavă.

„Îmi place statul meu natal, Texas, și îmi place să lupt acolo. Suntem crescuți diferit. Suntem un stat care a purtat propriile noastre războaie. Acesta este uriaș. Este o luptă moștenită pentru mine și sunt gata pentru ea.

„Știu ce am în ring. Când e timpul pentru a lupta, Devin instantaneu cel mai bun războinic care există acolo.

„Am suferit toată viața, așa că nu există nimic pe lumea asta care să mă facă să sufăr mai mult decât prin ceea ce am trecut când am crescut. Castaño este un mare luptător care pune multă presiune. Dar îmi cunosc abilitățile și îmi cunosc puterea. Fiecare lovitură pe care o arunc este dominantă și fiecare lovitură pe care o arunc este dureroasă pentru adversarul meu. Am o mulțime de abilități unice în mine și voi aduce câteva trucuri în această luptă.

„Nu l-am lovit încă pe Castaño, așa că nu știu ce va face bărbia lui când îl voi lovi.. Știu că are o inimă mare. O să fac doar ceea ce fac, ceea ce toată lumea știe că fac. Toată lumea vede ce pot face de fiecare dată când intru în ring.

„M-am simțit foarte bine în cantonament. Mai bine decât m-am simțit vreodată. Sunt în floare acum și mă simt mai puternic luptă cu luptă. Am dezvoltat fiecare tabără.

„Eu am curele pe curele și el are o centură. Sunt gata să iau și cureaua aceea. Am fost atent la ceea ce a făcut. Nu am stat doar de când m-am luptat cu Jeison Rosario. am lucrat.

„În acest moment, nu sunt îngrijorat de ceea ce se întâmplă după această luptă. Mă pot concentra doar pe ceea ce am în fața mea. Sunt vizionat de tunel chiar acum. Asta îmi doresc și nu văd nimic în afară de victoria din iulie 17.

„Veți vedea un Jermell Charlo mai dezvoltat în iulie 17. Vă garantez că veți vedea un luptător de top liră-la-liră. În orice moment, lupta asta s-ar putea termina.

„Aceasta este o luptă majoră pentru că este istorie pentru mine și familia mea. Este enorm pentru toți cei pe care îi reprezint și asta m-a susținut în toți acești ani. Era timpul să intrăm acolo pentru această luptă. Curelele și banii nu sunt în mintea mea. Ceea ce am în minte este moștenirea.

„Nu mulți oameni beneficiază de aceste oportunități. Această luptă va consolida o mulțime de lucruri diferite în mintea oamenilor despre Charlos.”

BRIAN CASTAÑO

„Aceasta este oportunitatea mea. Aceasta este lupta vieții mele. Eu sunt campion mondial și Charlo este campion mondial. Șansa de a deveni de necontestat este justă 10 zile distanță și abia aștept. Acesta este timpul meu. Această luptă este atât de importantă pentru viața mea. Sper să devin de necontestat în iulie 17 pentru țara mea și pentru susținătorii mei latini.

„Aceasta este una dintre cele mai importante lupte din istoria Argentinei. Este pentru patru curele, de necontestat la 154 de lire sterline. Este o oportunitate grozavă pentru echipa mea, managerul meu, familia mea și cel mai important, pentru mine. Aceasta va fi cea mai grea luptă din cariera mea.

„Charlo este un mare luptător, nu există nicio îndoială. Dar am venit aici pentru a-mi face treaba și voi veni în față. Sunt genul de luptător care merge mereu după tine. Sunt mereu acolo să te presez. Chiar dacă Charlo a spus că nu am nimic din ce să nu fi văzut până acum, nu a văzut pe nimeni cu stilul meu de luptă.

„L-am văzut pe Charlo doborând o mulțime de luptători cu o singură lovitură. Este ceva de care trebuie să fii atent. Totuși, Am mai multă varietate în arsenalul meu decât oricine a mai luptat înainte. Dacă trebuie să fiu mai agresiv și să merg după mai multă putere în loc de finețe, fii sigur că îl pot doborî și pe el.

„Rugina inelului nu va fi deloc o problemă. Mă antrenez în fiecare zi. Mă duc de trei ori pe săptămână. M-am antrenat de două ori pe zi în ultimul timp. Sunt în ritm și în formă. Vin după cele patru curele.

"In iulie 17, Pot garanta că îmi voi descoperi sufletul, Îmi voi lăsa inima în ring și voi face tot ce îmi stă în putere pentru a deveni necontestat, campion unificat al lumii.

„Cred că și Charlo este în floarea carierei sale. De aceea am căutat această luptă. Aceasta este lupta pe care am căutat-o ​​pentru că amândoi suntem în cel mai bun moment al carierei noastre, si vreau sa profit de ea.

„Sunt în căutarea gloriei. Vreau să fiu primul din istorie care să fiu campion incontestabil la 154 lire sterline în era celor patru centuri și, de asemenea, să fie unul dintre cei mai buni boxeri argentinieni și latino-americani care au trăit vreodată. Mă duc pentru toate. O să las totul acolo sâmbătă seara și nu există niciun motiv pentru care să nu pot fi atât unul dintre cei mai buni luptători liră la liră, cât și unul dintre cei mai buni boxeri argentinieni vreodată..

"Dacă câștig, gloria ar fi egală cu un potențial titlu la Cupa Mondială din Argentina anul viitor. Totuși, fotbalul este diferit pentru că ai 10 alte persoane pe care te poți baza. Messi are 10 coechipieri cărora le poate trece mingea atunci când lucrurile devin grele, dar când sunt în ring sunt pe cont propriu. Boxul este mai mult o provocare individuală. Când sunt de frânghii, Trebuie să ies singur din asta. Gloria și entuziasmul unei victorii ar fi aceeași cu o Cupă Mondială din Argentina pentru țara mea.

„Această oportunitate de a face istorie pentru țara mea și pentru oamenii din America Latină scoate la iveală emoții foarte puternice în mine. Nu vreau să-mi dezamăgesc oamenii din America Latină din toată lumea. Simt o imensă mândrie de asta și sunt la înălțime provocării.

„Nu am avut ocazia să-l cunosc pe Manu Ginobili, dar este o icoană în sportul argentinian. Este unul dintre cei mai buni din toate timpurile și ceea ce reprezintă este iconic atât ca sportiv, cât și ca persoană. Are atât admirația, cât și respectul meu.

„Sunt conștient că oamenii s-ar putea să nu mă cunoască, dar sunt aici pentru a-mi crea propria cale și pentru a-mi deschide propriul drum. Știu că nu m-am luptat atât de mult în ultima vreme și poate că asta face parte din motivul pentru care oamenii nu mă cunosc, dar am refuzat luptele împotriva adversarilor care nu erau de calibru cu care voiam să-l înfrunt. Scopul meu a fost întotdeauna să mă înfrunt cu cei mai buni dintre cei mai buni și cu elita diviziei mele. Am această șansă acum și voi demonstra de ce merit această șansă și de ce merită urmat.”

Neînvins Lewis Mulberry is set to face Nicaragua’s Christian Narvaez in a four round contest, as a warm up ahead of his highly anticipated PBC British Title fight against Denny’s Kevin Traynor later in the year.


Former Amateur standouts Angelica Finch și Kirsty Biswas are set for their second pro outings, against Czech Republic’s Nicola Hubalkova and Serbia’s Marijana Dosovic respectiv.


Rochester’s Jay Jackson has a tough fight on his hands when he faces Nicaragua’s Jose Aguilar in a four round Super Featherweight contest. Also facing tough South American opposition is Nottingham’s Martin Reffell, who is pitted against Frederick Castro.


Colchester’s Calvin Carruthers makes his fourth pro outing against Nottingham’s Garfield Mushore in a four round Super Featherweight contest.


Ashford, Kent’s Jack Way makes his pro debut against fellow debutant Tyler Smith într-o patru rundă concurs semigrea, similarly pro debutants Connor Brazil și Callan Harley will face each other in a four round Welterweight contest.


Alvis Berzins makes his pro debut against Southend’s Dan Ballard in a four round Cruiserweight contest, also competing in the Cruiserweight division is Richard Herrick, împotriva unui adversar care urmează a fi anunțate.

CARSON, CALIF. (Iulie 4, 2021) - Stea în ascensiune nepierdute Chris “Primetime” Colbert cruised to a unanimous decision victory over Tugststogt Nyambayar Saturday night to retain his Interim WBA Super Featherweight title in the main event of action live on SHOWTIME from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif. in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

The 24-year-old Colbert (16-0, 6 KO) rode a dominant jab to victory as he landed 112 across the 12 rounds according to CompuBox, buoying a 218 pentru 78 advantage in punches landed. The Brooklyn-native used the jab to set up a variety of effective power punches that he was able to land from orthodox and southpaw stances.

We had a tremendous training camp,” said Colbert. “We sparred a lot with a bigger guy in Michel Rivera, so I had a lot of practice using my speed and jab in camp. The jab is always a key in this sport.”

Mongolia’s Nyambayar (12-2, 9 KO), who now fights out of Los Angeles, stepped in to fight Colbert on less than two weeks’ notice, replacing former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa after he suffered a training camp injury. Nyambayar had successful moments in his 130-pound debut, with Colbert even noting the Olympic silver medalist’s power, but he was unable to keep up a sustained attack or keep the busier Colbert from controlling the tempo.

He carried power for a 126-pounder,” said Colbert. “Boxing is about hitting and not getting hit. I had to use my Muhammad Ali tactics and float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. This was a great fight and ‘Tugdid a great job coming in off only a week and a half of training for me. I take off my hat to him and wish him nothing but the best in his career.
Colbert’s post-fight interview: https://twitter.com/ShowtimeBoxing/status/1411543856345145345

După 12 runde, the judges’ scores confirmed Colbert’s dominance, as he won the decision with scores of 117-111 și 118-110 de două ori.

“I’m number one in the WBA,” said Colbert. “So you know what time it is. I’m going to follow the plan and see what happens next.”

“I’m so excited and beyond happy to get this win,", A spus Rivera. “Fernández was a strong, experienced opponent that forced me to change the game plan I had going in.”

An unbeaten Dominican fighter who now trains in Miami, Rivera seemed to take control of the action in round four, as he began to find a home for the straight right hand that would eventually end the fight. The tables turned momentarily in round six however, as Fernandez connected with a clean right hand to the head that put Rivera on the canvas for the first time in his career.

“I knew since the first round that I would have to be careful with him,", A spus Rivera. “He had heavy hands and was taller than me, but I was faster and more skilled overall.”

The 23-year-old was able to weather the storm brought by the Spaniard Fernandez and made it through the round despite the knockdown. After regaining his momentum in the seventh round, Rivera broke through with a decisive right hand that crumpled Fernandez early in the eighth, prompting referee Jack Reiss to wave off the bout 44 seconds in the frame. Rivera held an 87 pentru 76 advantage in punches landed, and connected on 37% de pumni sale de putere, comparativ cu 27% from Fernandez.

“I want the fight with Rolando Romero next,", A spus Rivera. “Once I do face him, I would like to go up against Gervonta Davis or Teofimo López.”

Asked if this fight was for the No. 1 spot on the Bellator pound-for-pound list, McKee said: “Definitely. Hands down. This fight is for the pound-for-pound best, Ma simt, in lume. La 145 de lire sterline, there’s not too many guys that can stop myself or Pitbull.”

McKee added: “This is not going the distance. Stilistic, it’s a bad match up for him. Nothing personal but my style is not a good match up for him…. I have to stay long, keep positioning and my feet. Distance is a big part of this fight. And catching him on the angle.”

Jules is a 2015 Olympic Trials qualifier and had a 60-15 amateur record since turning pro in 2016 and slowly climbing up the featherweight rankings.

“My hard work is finally paying off. All I have to do is stay focused, dedicated, and disciplined, and then I’ll be the face of boxing in a couple of years.

“This venue is really known for wars. Come Saturday night I’m definitely going to bring the heat.

“I’m ready for this fight. Nyambayar knows he’s in for trouble on Saturday. Nobody out there can take a fight with me on a week-and-half notice and not be in for trouble.

“Me and Michel Rivera got a lot of rounds in together during training down in Miami. We did a great job all camp and I’m just ready and excited to get in the ring.

“I’ve been knocking out everyone they put in front me. They still don’t give me the respect I deserve yet. I just have to keep doing my thing on Saturday night and embarrass him.

“I can’t tell you if he’s my toughest opponent yet. I know that he’s not beating me, and that’s a promise. There’s no way a 126-pounder will come up in weight and beat me.

“He’s a fighter with only one loss, he can come back from that. But it’s not going to matter on Saturday night. He’s supposed to be confident in himself. He can’t say he’s going to get washed Saturday, but that’s what is going to happen.

“I appreciate ‘Tug’ for taking the fight, but Saturday night I’m going to get in there, dominate and beat him up. This is a Nissan vs. a Lamborghini, and I’m the Lambo.

“I agree that ‘King Tug’ might be better opposition than Yuriorkis Gamboa would have been. But it doesn’t matter if it was Gamboa, ‘King Tug’, or Arnold Schwarzenegger in there with me, it was always going to be the same outcome on Saturday night.

“My hair is orange this week as a dedication to the cause of fighting Multiple sclerosis. One of my friends, Dave, back in New Jersey has it and he told me his story of how he was paralyzed as a kid and also had MS. Then I saw him on the Stairmaster in the gym the next day for like an hour. I saw that and realized there’s no excuses I can make for not being in the gym. I do the different hair colors to make people feel special. I want them to know that I’m fighting for them.

“Nobody in the 130-pound division can beat me. I’m going to continue to prove that every time I step into the ring. I’m going to deliver a dominating performance. Don’t be surprised when I stop him.

“I don’t think this is going past 10 runde. I’m going to keep proving that I have power on Saturday night. I’m not discrediting his skills, but I’m just different.”

TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYAR

“I’m really excited for this fight. It’s my first fight at 130 pounds and I want to show what I can do. I’m ready for this opportunity.

“Just know this, we are here to win. My team is here to win. I’m ready for Chris Colbert. Asta e.

“I don’t care that I’m fighting on short notice at a higher weight. I believe in myself. I can fight at 122, I can fight at 126 and I can fight at 130.

“Two weeks’ notice is enough for me. If I didn’t take the fight, Colbert wouldn’t have a fight. So he should be thankful. Let’s see what happens. I’m going to whoop his ass.

“I believe in my speed and I believe in my power. I believe in myself. I just want to test myself. This is a good opportunity versus a good fighter.”

“I don’t think that he can stop me. Watch me on Saturday night. Sunt gata.

“I’m not worried about anything he says. I’m just focused on the sight. I really believe in myself and that I’m going to hurt him on Saturday night.

“Colbert has similar speed compared to Gary Russell Jr., so it’s not going to be anything I haven’t seen before. The adjustments from the Russell fight have been made in the gym over time.

“I’m very happy to be fighting at Dignity Health Sports Park because Los Angeles is my second home. It’s very exciting to be fighting here and with a crowd there watching. The Mongolian fans are going to show up on Saturday.”

MICHEL RIVERA

“I had a good camp and I have a good team, led by Herman Caicedo who is my coach along with Jukka Toivola. I know that this is a good opportunity and I worked so hard for this fight. I’m so excited for July 3 and I know that this is my chance to show I’m great and to shine.

“Jon Fernandez is a good boxer and he’s a good puncher. I don’t know much about him, but I know that he’s Spanish and he’s a tall guy. He hits hard but I’m in the type of condition to be great in this fight.

“I’m sure that on July 3 when people are watching the fight, they will see who the best boxer is. I’m ready for everything. If he wants to fight instead of box, I will fight too. I have the skills. I believe that I am faster than him. I don’t have problems with his height. You can see in my past fights where I was fighting at 144, and I looked good with big boxers too. I don’t have a problem with it. Everybody will have to tune in July 3 pe SHOWTIME, and they will see Michel Rivera beating Jon Fernandez.

“I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. I’m Dominican, and in the Dominican Republic you don’t get much opportunity. I came here and I am making my name. Everybody will know that I’m ready to fight the top names at 135 – the best boxers. I have the skills and the talent. I’m young and I’m pretty, prea.

“It’s good that he sounds confident. I am confident too. That makes for a great war. He has a lot of knockouts, but they weren’t against any boxers like me. I’m focused. Cum am spus, he’s a good boxer, but I’m better. I’m trusting my talent and I’m trusting my condition.

“My perspective remains the same after this press conference. Fernandez is a proud fighter and I expect nothing less than what he said. I’m also a proud fighter and I’m convinced that I’m better than him. I consider myself better prepared and ready to be considered one of the top boxers in the 135-pound division.

“Training with Chris Colbert was a great experience, and the sparring sessions were awesome. He made me better, just like I made him better. Este o persoană grozavă. My fellow Dominican fighter Jeison Rosario wished me luck and told me he knows I’m going to be a world champion someday, and that he will be supporting me and watching the fight from the Dominican Republic.

“Of course I believe that I am the next world champion from the Dominican Republic. I can beat all of the top boxers, the top five, in the 135-pound division. I want to make my name at 135 because I know this is a strong division now. I want everybody to know me at this weight.

“I promise a good fight. Everybody will see the next superstar in the ring on July 3.”

JON FERNANDEZ

“I’m very excited to be here for this fight. Training camp in Madrid and Mexico have been great. We’ve had an outstanding preparation. I’m facing a great opponent in Michel Rivera, but this is the door I need to open to be in the big leagues of boxing. I don’t plan on missing out on this chance.

“I’m glad he’s confident in his abilities, but I think this is a 50-50 match. It’s going to be a great fight and we’re definitely on the same level. There’s no difference in skill levels. I’m going to use my height and show off my boxing ability on Saturday night.

“Rivera is a very good boxer, and has many skills, but I believe that I have equal skills and more power. If I get the opening, I can knock Rivera out.

“I promise that we’re going to put on a great show and deliver fireworks in the ring. My hand will be raised when the fight is over.

“There’s nothing like fighting in Los Angeles. I have already been here before, but nothing can compare to being in the big show.

“Everyone in Spain is supporting me. My city of Bilbao has sent me all its love and they believe in me 100%. Even some famous soccer players have reached out to me. Players from Athletic Bilbao and (former Spain national team striker) Fernando Torres.

“I would like to win in order to open the door for other Spaniard boxers who come behind me and relish this opportunity – like my brother Eker, who is about to make his professional debut. I want to make him proud and put Spain on the map as far as boxing is concerned.

"Dacă câștig, it’s not just because of my power. It’s going to be a close fight, but I’m going to give everything I have to come out with the victory.”

MINNEAPOLIS (Iunie 27, 2021) – Cuban sensation and unbeaten WBA Super Middleweight Champion David Morrell Jr. (5-0, 4 KO) defeated challenger Mario Cázares (12-1, 5 KO) with a knockout just 2:32 in to the first round of their contest that headlined FOX PBC Fight Night and on FOX Deportes on Sunday from The Armory in Minneapolis.


“I didn’t expect that to end so quickly,” said Morrell. “I thought it would be more like a five or six round fight. Totuși, once Cazares stepped in the ring, I noticed that he was not ready to fight on my level. He wasn’t ready for this kind of test or this level of fight.”

On the devastating knockout, Morrell said, “When I saw the opening, I took him out. When I hit him, I saw his legs wobble and I knew he was gone, completely out.”

“I’m ready for anyone at 168 pounds and now the world can see it,” continued Morrell. “I would love to fight Caleb Plant. I’m ready to fight Plant. He’s an excellent boxer, but I’m ready to go.”

In the co-main event on FOX, Cruiserweight Brandon Glanton (14-0, 11 KO) învins Efetobor Apochi (11-1, 11 KO) by split decision in their 10-round bout. Glanton scored a knockdown to close out the sixth stanza as Apochi fell into the ropes. That knockdown proved the difference as judge Nelson Vazquez scored the bout 96-93 for Apochi, but was overruled by judges Mike Fitzgerald and John Mariano who both scored the contest 95-94 for Glanton. The loss is the first of Apochi’s professional career.

“I knew it was a close fight because at the very end he didn’t hurt me, but I staggered,” said Glanton. “We always talk about balance in the gym, deși. I got the split decision because balance is something that we constantly work on. He didn’t hurt me, that’s why I was able to keep fighting.

“Thank God the judges saw it the right way,” continued Glanton. “That knockdown is something we worked on in the gym. I hope the boxing world sees what my coach is doing. The small details, the intricate things, make the difference in a fight like this. All the little details that he schools me on is what he told me would be the difference in this fight, and I’ll be damned if it wasn’t.”

"Ce pot spune?” asked Apochi. “I thought I won the fight. Am folosit jab meu, showed some heart, had some good movement in there, but I’m not the judges. I don’t know what they saw, but I thought that I did what I had to do. E un tip dur. I won’t take anything away from him. He took some tough shots and he was still there.”

On the possibility of a rematch, Glanton said, “If they want the rematch, then I’ll do it again. I think I’ve proven what I needed to prove, but it’s easier the second time.”

"Desigur, I want a rematch with Glanton,” continued Apochi. “I want a rematch with him right now!"

In the FOX telecast opener, All Rivera (22-5, 18 KO) învins Omar “El Relámpago” Juárez(11-1, 5 KO) by majority decision in 10-round attraction, giving Juárez the first loss of his professional career. Rivera scored a knockdown in the ninth frame, which was the difference in the contest as judge Scott Erickson scored the fight a 95-95 trage, but judge Octavio Rodriguez scored the bout 95-94 for Rivera and judge Kyle Shiely scored the fight 95-93 for Rivera.

“I was confident that I was going to get the decision,", A spus Rivera. “I was blocking a lot of the shots that Juárez was throwing. I was landing the more powerful punches. Juárez was doing good work in there, but we were landing the more effective shots. I feel like when I hurt him I maybe could have done a little more to get him out of there early and avoid the decision. But he’s a stronger fighter and I respect his talent.”

Juárez said, “I honestly thought that I did enough to get the win. I did get knocked down. There was one round where I stayed in there and took a couple hits, but I felt like I was the smarter fighter in there. I adjusted well and I thought I did well over all. Almost all of the greats have losses and I know I’m going to be great one day. I just have to fight through this adversity.”

On their professional experience levels, Rivera said, “I’ve been in the ring 27 times now professionally, and I think Juárez is still a kid who’s developing his skills. I’ve fought some of the best fighters around. I’ve won belts. Așa, I definitely think my experience played a difference tonight.”

“He was the better man today,” Juárez concluded. “I’m not going to take anything away from him. He’s a hard fighter. He’s from the Philippines, which has a lot of strong fighters. I respect him a lot, but I’ll be back.”

When asked about the knockdown, Rivera said, “We actually worked on that shot in camp. We also worked on the follow-up sequence. Așa, when it landed my corner wanted me to take it to the body to finish him, dar el este un luptător dur.

“I’m here for any 140-pound fighter that wants to step in there with me,” concluded Rivera.

In FS1 PBC Fight Night action, Nathaniel Gallimore (22-5-1, 17 KO) învins Leon Lawson(14-1, 7 KO) by majority decision in a 10-round super welterweight showdown.
