TWO HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS IN ONE NIGHT; CHARLES MARTIN vs. VYACHESLAV GLAZKOV ADDED TO DEONTAY WILDER vs. ARTUR SZPILKA FOR HISTORIC HEAVYWEIGHT EVENT AT BARCLAYS CENTER; LEVEN OP Showtime
BROOKLYN (December. 22, 2015) – Four heavyweights will meet in two world title fights for one history-making night in Brooklyn.
Undefeated heavyweight challengers Charles Martin en Vyacheslav Glazkov will battle for the vacant IBF World Championship on Zaterdag, Jan. 16, bij Barclays Center, live op SHOW TIME®. Glazkov vs. Martin joins the previously announced main event featuring undefeated WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder (35-0, 34 KO), van Tuscaloosa, Ala., making the third defense of his title against confident Arthur Pin (20-1, 15 KO), van Wieliczka, Polen.
“There has not been a heavyweight title fight in Brooklyn in 115 jaar. Op Jan. 16, there will be two,” said Promoter Lou DiBella of DiBella Entertainment.
Tickets voor de live-evenement, die wordt bevorderd door DiBella Entertainment in samenwerking met Warriors Boksen en Sferis Knockout Promotions, beginnen $25, niet met inbegrip van toepasselijke vergoedingen, en zijn nu te koop. Tickets kunnen online worden gekocht door een bezoek www.ticketmaster.com, www.barclayscenter.comof door te bellen naar 1-800-745-3000. Tickets zijn ook verkrijgbaar bij de American Express Box Office op Barclays Center. Koop voordat Januari 1 en ontvang een 10 percent discount. Groep kortingen zijn verkrijgbaar door te bellen naar 844-BKLYN-GP.
“I’m feeling really blessed to get this opportunity,” zegt Martin. “I want to become world champion so I can go down in history as a top heavyweight. Glazkov is a great fighter. Hij is ongeslagen, dus ik weet dat het gaat om een zware strijd worden, but I’m coming to be victorious. I’m getting ready and training hard so I can go out there and get that win.”
“I am looking forward to getting back in the ring and finally getting my opportunity to fight for a world title,” said Glazkov. “I want to thank everyone who helped me get to this place in my career.”
“It’s an honor to promote a dynamic young champion like Deontay Wilder against a tough threatening opponent like Szpilka. What would have been the first heavyweight title fight in Brooklyn in 115 years is now one of the first two. Martin versus Glazkov should be an extremely competitive fight and fans will be treated to the rarity of being able to see two world heavyweight championship fights on the same card.”
“I am excited to be involved in this historic event involving two heavyweight world titles fights, contested on the same evening,” zei Leon Margules, President van Warriors Boksen. “Having worked with Artur Szpilka since he began his career, I know he is more than ready for this challenge. Artur and Charles Martin both have all the tools necessary to win heavyweight world title in Brooklyn onJanuari 16.”
“Januari 16 will be our best card yet,” zei Brett Yormark, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Vermaak. “We’re excited to host two heavyweight world title fights in one night and continue to make Brooklyn the center of boxing.”
Martin (22-0-1, 20 KO), van Carson, Calif., by way of St. Louis, is 22-0-1 met 20 KOs and is rated fourth by the IBF. The Ukrainian Glazkov, de nr. 1-ranked IBF contender, is 21-0-1 met 13 knock-outs.
The unbeaten Martin has stopped his last 12 tegenstanders. The 6-foot-5, 29-year-old southpaw is coming off a third round TKO of Vicente Sandez in september. Martin, a top-level amateur, has maintained a busy schedule since turning professional – he fought four times in 2015 and five times in 2014. Martin is trained by U.S. Olympiër Henry Tillman in Big Bear, Calif.
De agressieve-minded, 6-foot-3 Glazkov has won seven consecutive fights, including both his outings in 2015. Glazkov, die nooit is neergehaald, owns victories over former champions Steve Cunningham en Tomasz Adamek. The win over Cunningham this past March earned him the No. 1 spot in the IBF. Before turning pro in July 2009, Glazkov was an amateur standout in the Ukraine – he won the bronze medal at super heavyweight at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, and was a silver medalist at the 2007 World Amateur Boxing Championships. The 31-year-old will make his U.S. debut fighting for the IBF belt that was recently vacated by Tyson Fury.

VERONA, NEW YORK (December 19, 2015) – De 2015 boxing year culminated with a tremendous show at Turning Stone Resort Casino as WBA Interim Heavyweight Champion Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz (24-0, 21 KO) closed the show by maintaining his title with a knockout-of-the-year candidate over Bryant “Door – Door” Jennings (19-2, 10 KO) in the seventh round of their scheduled bout live on HBO Boxing After Dark.
“Vandaag, there is a new era in the heavyweight division,” Ortiz, who landed a vicious uppercut to end the fight, zei. “Jennings is fighter who deserves much respect, but he can tell you that I am a force in the heavyweight division. I am going to go out and obtain my objective. “I have been training for a big fight of this magnitude for three years. My strategy was to keep him at a distance and I was able to do that effectively with my reach and my jab. I will fight whoever next, whoever Golden Boy Promotions gives me I will take. Wilder, Woede, Klitschko anyone of them, I am ready to prove that I am the heavyweight world champion. A lot of people say a lot of things about me, but the testing showed that I am a clean fighter.”
“I wasn’t on my game, and he got the best of me,” Jennings said. “I didn’t adjust well and he was the better man.”
The co-main event saw two Super Featherweights – former WBA Featherweight and Super Featherweight World Champion Nicolas “Axe Man” Walters (26-0-1, 21 KO) and Jason Sosa (18-1-4, 14 KO) — wage a superb battle with both fighters landing tremendous sharp, accurate shots throughout the fight. While Sosa won the fight on one of the judge’s cards, the fight was ruled a draw as the two other judges had the fight even.
“I am in total shock. I was never in any danger, never hurt,” Walters said. “[Sosa] is een goede vechter — the kind of fight I wanted — but I thought I won all the rounds. So surprised this happened to me.”
“I thought I won and am disappointed it was a draw,” Sosa said. “Ik heb hard gewerkt, I really thought I won the fight.”
In the HBO Latino Boxing main event light heavyweight Vyacheslav “Leeuwenhart – Chigonsky” Shabranskyy (15-0, 12 KO) kept his undefeated record intact slugging out a majority decision over Yuneski Gonzalez (16-2, 12 KO) in an action-packed brawl that saw both fighters land huge shots throughout the fight.
“This fight was the most important and most exciting fight of my career,” said Shabranskyy. I did feel a lot of Gonzalez’ punches but I also feel like I hurt him — especially in the last round, he was beginning to sway. If I had a little more time I feel I would have knocked him out.”
“I knew that this was going to be a war and that is what we delivered tonight,” Gonzalez zei. “We both gave it our all and didn’t let up. I knew that I needed to knock him out to win this fight but he was more resilient than I thought and didn’t open up enough for the knockout to happened. I did know the fight was very close and should have been a draw in my opinion. I would like the opportunity to fight him again and prove that I am the better fighter.”
In the co-main of the HBO Latino broadcast, rising middleweight “Koning” Gabriel Rosado (22-9, 13 KO) shook off some tough early rounds to earn a hard-fought unanimous victory against former IBF Welterweight World Champion Joshua “Grootmeester” Clottey (39-6, 22 KO).
“It has been more than a year since I have been in the ring so I did feel a little I the rust but I feel like this fight really helped me shake it off,” Rosado said. Clottey is a tough opponent, voormalig wereldkampioen, definitely a challenge for me in my first fight back. I delivered an entertaining fight tonight and I was happy with my performance. I am ready for my next big challenge, I would like a shot at Canelo [Alvarez] next.”
“Gabriel gave everyone a great performance today,” said Fernando Vargas, Rosado’s trainer. This was our first training camp together and I think we are going to keep growing and make great fights together.”
“This was an off night for me,” Clottey said. “I do think that the fans enjoyed the fight –we are both fighters that do not like to back down. Echter, I don’t feel comfortable at this weight class, I want to go back down to 154 and continue to fight at junior middleweight.”
Opening the HBO Latino broadcast, former WBA and IBF Featherweight World Champion Yuriorkis Gamboa (25-1, 17 KO) had all he could handle after a 13-month layoff, squaring off in a lightweight showdown against Hylon Williams Jr. (16-2-1, 3 KO) Houston. Na 10 rounds of back-and-forth action, the judges awarded Gamboa a hard-fought unanimous decision.
“It feels good to be back in the ring,” Gamboa said. “I trained in Cuba, and I feel that all the hard paid off. I was faster and stronger in the ring. I know I dominated the action tonight, I made sure he knew I was in control from the first round.”
“I felt good about the pace of the fight, I know I hurt him a few times,” Williams zei. “This fight should have gone my way.”
In a light heavyweight battle, rising prospect D’Mitrius “Big Meech” Ballard (11-0, 7 KO) won a shutout unanimous decision against a game Fabiano “Pit Bull” Veer (11-4-1, 8 KO).
“I am glad I secured the victory today,” Ballard said. “[Veer] was able to go all six rounds with me, but I felt in complete control the entire fight. I think I am ready to step up to more rounds and bigger opponents. I am ready for the next big step of my career and this fight showed that. I want to thank Oscar and Golden Boy Promotions for the opportunity and I can’t wait for the next fight.”
In de opening aanval van de avond, middleweight Steven “De Hitman” Martinez (16-2, 13 KO) emerged with a second round TKO victory over Jorge “Torpedojager” Melendez (28-6-1, 26 KO). Martinez got off numerous combinations in round one and followed it up in round two with a sizzling left hook that floored Menendez. While Mendendez beat the count, Martinez quickly moved in, forcing the referee to wave off the fight at1:33 van de tweede ronde.

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS DETHRONES ANDY LEE ZATERDAG OM 12e HUIDIGE BRITSE WERELDKAMPIOEN TE WORDEN OP SHO EXTREME® VAN MANCHESTER,ENGELAND
NEW YORK (December. 19, 2015) - Billy Joe Saunders onttroonde WBO middengewicht wereldkampioen Andy Lee met een meerderheidsbesluit van 12 ronden zaterdag Showtime Boxing INTERNATIONALE van Manchester, Engeland.
De strijd, dat werd gescoord 115-111, 114-112 en 113-113, zal vanavond opnieuw uitgezonden worden om 9 p.m. EN/PT op SHO EXTREME.
In een combinatie van tactische linkshandigen, een explosieve derde ronde van Saunders (23-0, 12 KO) was het verschil. De Britse uitdager gooide Lee twee keer op de grond - eerst met een grote rechtse hoek en opnieuw met een counter net rechts 30 seconden later - en een verdwaasde Lee overleefde op de een of andere manier de 10-7 ronde. VIDEO HOOGTEPUNTEN: http://s.sho.com/1OfibYe
De Ierse Lee (34-3-1, 24 KO) vocht zich een weg terug en was de agressievere vechter in de kampioensrondes, maar het was niet genoeg om een trage start en de twee knockdowns goed te maken.
Met de overwinning, Saunders werd de 12th huidige Britse wereldkampioen.
"Ik ben wereldkampioen,'Zei Saunders. “Ik heb vandaag een goede kampioen verslagen, een goede stevige kampioen. Ik heb zijn macht tegen hem gebruikt. Toen ik aan het boksen was, werd hij een beetje onzorgvuldig en liet zijn loden hand vallen en ik ving hem met de haak.
"Ik ga niet mijn mond gaan lopen, maar het was een goed schot. Met iemand zo snel als ik moet je je handen omhoog houden. Ik ben niet de grootste puncher ter wereld, maar ik heb je daar laten zien dat ik kan slaan. "
WBA middengewicht wereldkampioen Daniel Jacobs, vers van een eerste ronde knock-out van Peter Quillin twee weken geleden op SHOWTIME, was een gastanalist op zaterdag Vanuit New York.
'Ik dacht dat hij een grote vechter zou worden, Ik dacht dat hij betere bezittingen had,”Jacobs zei over Lee. "Hij heeft niet genoeg voor me gedaan. Hij was te zelfgenoegzaam en na de knockdown zag je niet dat gevoel van urgentie dat een vechter moet hebben op het comeback-parcours.
'Alle eer te danken aan Billy Joe, maar het was geen indrukwekkende overwinning. "
Na het zien van het gevecht, Jacobs was er niet klaar voor om zich in te zetten voor een confrontatie met de eenwording in 2016 met de winnaar.
"We zullen alles doen wat zinvol is,”Zei Jacobs. "Ik denk dat het tijd is om te gaan zitten en te bedenken wat zinvol is. Het is duidelijk een goed moment om middengewichtkampioen te worden. "
