UNDEFEATED MIDDLEWEIGHT PROSPECT DOMINIC WADE TAKES ON TOUGHEST CHALLENGE OF HIS CAREER IN FORMER WORLD CHAMP SAM SOLIMAN FRIDAY, HUNYO 26 SA SHOWTIME®
ShoBox: Ang Bag-ong Kaliwatan Tripleheader
Pagpuyo Sa 10:35 sa gabii. UG/PT From Little Creek Casino Resort in Shelton, Hugasan.
“My time has arrived…I’m ready for the next level.” – Dominic Wade
“My road to regaining the world title begins on June 26 against Dominic Wade.” – Sam Soliman
NEW YORK (Mayo 27, 2015) – Young undefeated middleweight prospectDominic "Suga Gikan" Wade will take on the toughest opponent of his career when he faces former world champion Sam "Hari" Soliman sa main event sa ShoBox: Ang Bag-ong Henerasyon sa Biyernes, Hunyo 26, mabuhi sa Showtime gikan sa Little Creek Casino Resort sa Shelton, Hugasan.
Wade (17-0, 12 KOs), sa Washington, D.C., and Soliman (44-12, 1 NC, 18 KOs), sa Melbourne, Australia, will clash in the 10-round middleweight main event of the TGB Promotions tripleheader. In other televised bouts, former Marine and 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Captain Jamel"Semper Fi" Herring (11-0, 7 KOs), of Rockville Centre, N.Y., and 19-year-old former amateur standout and unbeaten super welterweight Erickson "Hammer" Lubin (10-0, 7 KOs), sa Orlando Fla., will be featured against opponents to be determined in separate bouts.
Kon madaugon, Wade will begin to transition from promising prospect to legitimate contender in his quest to become the next ShoBox graduate to win a world championship. Sa petsa, 61 ShoBox alums have captured world titles.
While Wade is unbeaten, Soliman is vastly more experienced, having competed in four world championship fights. He held the IBF Middleweight World Championship before suffering a debilitating knee injury and losing via unanimous decision to Jermain Taylor in his first title defense last October. Soliman, who was leading on the judges’ scorecards at the time of the injury, will make his first start since losing the 160-pound title.
“This is a great opportunity for me to face a former world champion,” Wade said. “While he’s more experienced I truly believe my time has arrived and I plan to show the boxing world that I’m ready for the next level.”
“I know what it takes to be a world champion, the sacrifices needed to endure, the battles that need to be won. My road to regaining the world title begins on Hunyo 26 against Dominic Wade,” said Soliman.
“We’re very excited to work once again with the terrific SHOWTIME and Little Creek Casino Resort teams on this exciting fight card,"Miingon Tom Brown sa TGB Promotions. “Wade vs. Soliman is an excellent cross-roads bout. Dugang pa, Lubin and Herring are two of the best prospects in boxing.”
Wade, 25, nga sa paghimo sa iyang 2015 debut and third appearance on the network. In his first ShoBox fight – and first 10-rounder — he stepped up in class and won a close but clear decision over Nick Brinson sa Hunyo 2014. The aggressive-minded 5-foot-11½-inch Wade, a top amateur before going pro in March 2009, mao 6-0 with four knockouts since returning to the ring in February 2013 after a two-year layoff due to promotional problems.
A well-conditioned, power puncher who is steadily ascending in the world rankings, Wade’s four stoppages have come inside two rounds (one in the first, three in the second). Wade, who had over 160 amateur away, is coming off a second-round TKO over Eddie Hunter katapusan Dec. 20, sa Shelton.
The 5-foot-8½-inch Soliman keeps a relentless, almost non-stop pace and delivers punches from odd angles. Tough and durable, Soliman can be very awkward and he is always well-conditioned. This combination makes Soliman a very difficult fighter to face. Siya miadto 0-2 in WBA 168-pound world title fights before dropping a notch in weight to capture the IBF Middleweight World Championship with a decisive 12-round decision over Felix Sturm in a rematch on May 31, 2014.
The 41-year-old Soliman, who lost the title in his first injury-marred defense against Taylor, mao 9-1-1 with one No Contest since May 2008. A former kickboxing world champion, Soliman has been knocked out just once – in 2007 by then WBA Super Middleweight World Champion Anthony Mundine. The veteran has had a successful yet unusual 18-year career that began with a four-round fight but then followed with three straight 12-rounders (all went the distance) in three different weight divisions over a period of five months.
The 5-foot-10-inch Herring mao ang 2012 United States National Champion at 141 pounds and captained the 2012 U.S. Olympic Games boxing team. The 29-year-old turned pro in December 2012 and has remained active since with five fights in 2013 and four in 2014. Herring, who will be making his ShoBox debut, is making his second start of this year, coming off a lopsided eight-round decision over Hector Marengo sa Marso.
Herring served nine years in the Marine Corps including two tours of duty in Iraq. The Long Island native enlisted about a year after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Herring considered giving up the sport multiple times, particularly after the death of his infant daughter, Ariyanah, due to sudden infant death syndrome in 2009 – three years to the day before the Olympic Games opening ceremony in London. But he was persuaded by coaches and teammates to stick with it.
Sa 19 mga tuig sa edad, Lubin is one of the youngest boxers to appear onShoBox (Francisco “Panchito” Bojado, sa 18, was the youngest.). Lubin is a heralded blue-chip prospect who will be making his ShoBox debut ug 11th magsugod sukad milingi pro sa Nobyembre 2013. A southpaw with good punching power, skills and movement, Lubin will be making his third start this year and his fourth scheduled eight-round bout.
Lubin had a remarkable amateur career. Siya mao ang 2013 National Golden gwantes champion sa 152 libra, ang 2012 National PAL Champion at 141, ang 2012 Junior Olympic National Champion at 138 pounds and the 2011 National Junior Olympic Champion at 132 libra.

Here’s what Cotto and his trainer, Freddie Roach, sa pag-ingon:
Miguel Cotto – WBC & Ring Magazine Middleweight World Champion
“I feel good and in the best shape possible. I just feel ready. I know Geale is a tough opponent and he is going to bring his best on Hunyo 6, but I trust in the work we have done here in Los Angeles and I’m going to bring my best too.”
“After 14 years in boxing, the best decision I could have made was to take the last year off. My mind was not in boxing, but since I got here with Freddie, everything is working perfectly again. Boxing is all I know. Boxing mao ang akong kinabuhi. Through boxing, I raised my family and I work to provide the best future for them. They are the reason I love boxing.”
“Boxing at this point in my career is a battle with myself. Everyday I need to bring my best in the gym from morning to evening. Next week has to be better than last week. I need to ask myself to be better every day. I know that if I bring my best to the gym every day, I can bring my best the night ofHunyo 6 against Geale.”
“Freddie comes here every day with the best attitude and he knows how to get the best out of me.”
“It will have been 364 days to the day on Hunyo 6 since I have been in the ring. It’s not difficult to get back in after this long stretch. I’ve been focused on my work. I have gained more knowledge during my time off in order to get myself ready to fight again.”
“Daniel Geale is the next chapter in my career. After I get through him, I can talk about what comes next.”
Freddie Roach – Cotto’s Trainer
“Miguel’s sparring has been great. His movement has been very good. It’s hard on me in the ring! His body shots are very effective and the head shots come with it. I think we are going to get a late round knockout. Geale is tough enough to go some rounds, but a knockout in a late round…that’s my call.”
“One of Miguel’s greatest strength against Geale will be his body shots, but Miguel’s knowledge in the ring will be Geale’s ultimate undoing.”
“He has found a new home here at Wild Card and I’m glad I provided that for him. He loves this gym. He loves the atmosphere. He’s thrived in this environment and when a fighter is in a good mood and happy, he performs at the highest level.”
Cotto vs. Geale, usa ka 12-round away alang sa Cotto sa WBC ug Ring Magazine middleweight World Championships, mahitabo Sabado, Hunyo 6 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and will be televised live on HBO.
