“I am excited to showcase my skills once again as the main event on a Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions card,” Robles va dir. “Both of my promoters, RJJ & Bobby D, are presenting me with such an incredible opportunity to fight for the Regional NABA Title belt.

“It’s an honor to display my superior boxing skills for Roy Jones Jr. on CBS Sports Network and I am humbled that Las Vegas has accepted me with such open arms.

I have a new trainer for the first time – a new team – and I am looking forward to showing fans a new fighter. A victory will stamp my name as a true world champion contender. I understand my position and I know that I am on the ‘B’ side, but I have been in this position many times before. I have a lot of experience in the sport of boxing and it has finally all come together for me. This will be my best fight. My focus and training will show on fight night.

“My opponent is a strong fighter. Robles is a sharp boxer and he has a good history in the sport as well. He is a southpaw and brings a good record to the table. All respect to the Robles team, but I am ready to fight for my life, and this is what this sport is all about. Expect me to bring everything I have and put on a ’10’ war for the fans.”

‘Bravo’ Brant Stops Fitzpatrick in Three, Continues March to Middleweight Title Shot
Current WBO NABO and WBA NABA Middleweight Champion and WBA #4- and WBO #7-rated middleweight Rob “Bé Fet” Brant (21-0, 14 KOs) de Sant Pau, Minnesota, kept his momentum plowing forward and continued to impress tonight with a one-sided beatdown of Chris “El fantasma irlandès” Fitzpatrick (15-5, 6 KOs) de Cleveland.
Fighting in the 10-round main event of CBS Sports Network Championship Boxing from the Grand Ballroom of the Pechanga Resort & Casino en Temecula, Califòrnia, Brant had too many weapons for the game Fitzpatrick.
L'esdeveniment, a televised quadrupleheader, was Presented by Greg Cohen Promotions in association with the International Championship Boxing League (ICBL), Ringside Ticket Inc., i Winner Take All Productions de David Schuster.
Brant moved smoothly around the ring, landing at will. He dropped Fitzpatrick with an uppercut in round two (Fitzpatrick nearly fell out of the ring) and finished it with another knockdown at 1:18 de la tercera ronda.
Typically candid, Brant said the game plan was to not let Fitzpatrick get a toe hold in the fight. “He’s the type of guy, if you let him hang in there, he’ll hang for a number of rounds,” va dir Brant, posterior a la baralla. “I wanted to make an example of him and make sure I put him down.”
The future looks bright for the red-hot Brant, who seems to tighten up his game with every performance. “Under the tutelage of Derrick James, I’ve learned to sit down on my punches and stay defensively sound at the same time,” va continuar, “but now it’s time to step up the level of competition. As nice as it is to get these kinds of win, it’s a lot nicer to get them up a level.”
En l'esdeveniment co-principal, Fort Worth, Texas, slugger “No Surrender” Skender Halili made quick work of Silver Springs, Maryland, veteran Ben Odamattey.
Feu torns, amb un registre de 11-1, 11 KOs, caught Odamattey with his proven power early and it quickly became apparent he couldn’t handle it. Odamattey tried bravely to keep his feet under the hell fire. He rose from a knockdown but was quickly under siege again and with Odamattey’s legs betraying him, Referee Ray Corona waved it off at 1:17 de la primera.
Odamattey slips to 16-15-3, 9 KOs. Feu torns, never in a bad fight, is becoming “must see TV” with his action-packed way of doing things.
Undefeated middleweight Cem “The Champ” Killic (6-0, 3 KOs) did what he was supposed to do in his tryout fight for GCP, by tearing through debuting Vegas fighter Jerhed Fenderson (0-1).
Fenderson looked to have some skills and fought evenly with Killic in the first round.
No obstant això, Killic, of Frankfurt, Alemanya, now residing in Sherman Oaks, Califòrnia, took over in round two, clubbing a tiring Fenderson against the ropes with heavy shots until dropping him hard to get the stoppage.
El final va arribar a 1:50 de la segona ronda.
To start the televised bouts, Baltimore, Maryland welterweight Malik “Ice Man” Hawkins had to work all four rounds to move his record to 9-0, 7 KOs against a surprisingly determined Sean “The Beast of War” Caramba (3-4) de Portland, Oregon.
Hawkins had too much speed and skill for the brawling Gee, but Gee kept it interesting with his wild swings and willingness to exchange. Hawkins’ brilliance carried the night though as he was given a unanimous decision (40-36 x 3).
In the night’s opening bout, Detroit’s Jarico “Great Lakes King” O’Quinn (3-0, 2 KOs) survived a scare from nearby Oceanside California’s Jonathon Quiroz (6-3, 1 KO) in their bantamweight four-rounder.
O’Quinn came out firing in the first, Com era d’esperar, but Quiroz figured out how to time him with looping shots in the second. He rocked O’Quinn to his boots with a right but wasn’t able to finish.
O’Quinn did a little more in the final two rounds, but credit the California judges for not playing home favorites. The scores, met with booing, van ser 39-37 en tots els àmbits.
“It was a good step up for me, being 2-0, fighting someone with nine fights,” va dir O'Quinn. “I learned that not everybody is going to lay down and that’s exactly what I wanted. I didn’t want a cake-walk.
What was supposed to be a routine dual-pro-debut for two unknowns quickly turned into an epic war for ages, com “Slick” Will Davis finally managed to stop a wild-swinging Erick Fowler in four rounds.
A classic “skill vs. voluntat” match-up, Davis would land his sharp, educated combinations only to be answered every time by the clubbing shots of the iron-chinned Fowler.
With momentum swinging back-and-forth every few seconds, Davis dropped Fowler in the second. Fowler returned the favor in the third.
By the fourth round even the crowd was exhausted, as Davis landed a barrage of unanswered shots that finished things at the :39 seconds mark of round four.
Local super flyweight product Danny Andujo (1-0, 1 KO) turned professional with a quick stoppage of San Jose’s Israel Hernandez, ara 1-3-1, 1 KO.
Andujo swarmed, landing hard shots against the outgunned Hernandez, who took the 10 count at :55 de la primera ronda.
And finally, undefeated Temecula featherweight Robert Meza (3-0-0, 1 KO) cruised to a dominant four-round decision over brave, but crude Jose Fabian Naranjo (3-3-1, 1 KO)
of Baja California, Mèxic.
Les puntuacions van ser 40-36 x 3.

L'esdeveniment, which took place July 23, 2016, is the second in the “Boxa de Cancún” series that will air on CBS Sports Network in 2016. Grand Oasis Cancun the Hotel Complex, Cancun`s ONLY Ultimate All-Inclusive Entertainment Resort, will play host to all events in this ongoing series.

Locutors del Saló de la Fama Jim “JR” Ross i En Bernstein called the action live from ringside in Cancun, Mèxic.

“We’re very happy to be in a new partnership with Neon Star Media, whose belief in the quality of Cancun Boxing has led to our product being shown throughout the United States on CBS Sports Network,” Cancun Boxing president Pepe Gómez dit. “American boxing fans really appreciate Mexican boxers and they will love all of the action from the capital of boxing in Mexico, Cancun Quintana Roo.”
The main event was a scheduled 10-round World Boxing Council (CMB) female world flyweight title fight between Mexico City rivals, defensor del títol Jessica “Kika” Chávez (26-4-3, 4 KOs) i el retador Esmeralda “Joya” Moreno (33-8-1. 11 KOs), in a rematch of their February 19, 2011 lluita, in which Moreno won a 10-round unanimous decision.

Terrazas also holds a notable victory by way of a unanimous 12-round decision over another Mexican boxing icon, 5-temps, 3-campió del món de la divisió Fernando Montiel, for the vacant WBC Silver super bantamweight championship.
“US viewers will enjoy our Cancun Boxing fights, Mexican against Mexican,” Gomez concluded. “Our fights showcase some of the most recognized Mexican fighters, in addition to competitive, young Mexican warriors ready to advance from prospect to contender. We’re in a new era of Mexican boxing and this new generation of Mexican fighters will be fighting sometime soon in the United States and around the world.”

BROOKLYN (Juny 26, 2016) - La lluita de premis va tornar a CBS en dissabte amb un candidat a la lluita de l'any com a campió mundial de pes pesat invicte Keith Thurman va volar ex -campió mundial Shawn Porter En una decisió propera però unànime va marcar 115-113 pels tres jutges al costat.

 

La 12,718 Els aficionats assistents al Barclays Center de Brooklyn i els espectadors dels EUA. Veure el primer esdeveniment de boxa primària a CBS des de Muhammed Ali-Leon Spinks 1978 van ser tractats a un lent entre dues de les estrelles més brillants de la divisió de glamour de la boxa.

 

Thurman (27-0, 22 KOs) i Porter (26-2-1, 16 KOs) Combinat per llançar -se 1200 cops de puny a l'esdeveniment del campionat Showtime a CBS, Presentat per Premier Boxing Champions. L’enfrontament de les carpes va ser una història de precisió i. activitat, Quan Thurman va aterrar 50 per cent dels seus tirs de l'energia, comparat amb 38 percentatge de Porter, i 44 per cent del seu total de cops de puny en comparació amb just 36 percentatge del desafiador. Mentre Thurman va aterrar amb un percentatge més elevat, Porter era el lluitador més ocupat, llançant 100 Més cops de puny 12 rondes.

 

"One Time" i "ShowTime" es lliuren com a publicitat, amb el potent porter que s’embolica en diverses ocasions, Mentre que el Porter es va arruïnar i es va arrossegar cap a Bully Thurman a les cordes. I mentre no hi va haver derrocaments, El blockbuster enrere no va tenir cap acció i va culminar en una ovació permanent en el segon esdeveniment de boxa assistit a Barclays Center History.

 

“Vull donar les gràcies a Shawn Porter per una tremenda baralla. És un gran guerrer,Va dir Thurman. “La defensa és la clau de la victòria. Fa un cop de puny i fa que els jutges siguin difícils de marcar. Vaig poder colpejar -lo amb clar, cops efectius i crec que aquesta era la diferència avui.

 

“Li donaria una revenda. Va ser una gran lluita. Era un gran rival. Tothom deia que seria el meu rival més dur fins ara. No vaig poder deixar -lo caure, però el vaig fer unes quantes vegades. "

L'ex campió del món Porter, un perenne underdog però consumat gentleman, No em queixà per estar al final perdedor de la seva segona decisió tancada en un títol de títol.

 

“Hem treballat molt, Keith és un gran campió,”Va dir Porter. “El meu pare diu que mantingui el cap amunt. Crec que he guanyat la lluita, Però estic satisfet perquè el competidor va sortir aquesta nit.

 

“Necessitem aquesta revenda. Sé que els fans volen aquesta revenda. Si em dóna una altra oportunitat, Treballaré molt al ring i sortiré amb el seu títol.”

 

El combat d'obertura del CBS Telecast va comptar amb un combat de pesos supersos de superfície invictes com Jarrett Hurd Es va graduar de la perspectiva a la concursant legítim a la classe de 154 lliures apilada amb un dominant 10º TKO rodó sobre Oscar Molina.

 

Hurd (18-0, 12 KOs) He de treballar aviat, Floor Molina per primera vegada a la seva carrera a la ronda d’obertura amb un potent taulell a la dreta. El més gran i més alt Hurd va ser el lluitador més actiu des del principi, Desmantejant l’olímpic mexicà anteriorment invicte amb un joc interiorment eficaç. Hurd va llançar gairebé 750 cops de puny 10 rondes, en comparació amb només 376 per a Molina, de connexió a 220 trets de potència a gairebé 40 CLIP per cent.

 

Hurd va posar un segell a la seva actuació a la ronda final, tancant l’espectacle per Landing Molina 33-7 A la ronda final. Amb Molina va aconseguir una pallissa brutal i aparentment indefens al minut final de la ronda final, Ricky Gonzalez va intervenir per aturar el concurs a 2:02.

 

“Sens dubte, aquesta és una gran victòria per a la meva carrera,”Hurd va dir. “Estava fent molts trets, Però va saber sobreviure. Va ser una gran majúscula que el va enderrocar a la primera ronda. La gent sap des de la meva última lluita que tinc un gran alt dret. Va ser ferit un parell de vegades. No crec que fos una mala aturada. Molina és un noi molt dur que acaba de passar.

 

“Aquesta lluita aquí em posa amb els principals concursants de la divisió. Em sentia com si hagués pogut passar tres o quatre rondes més. Estava cada cop més fort a mesura que la lluita continuava. Tornem de nou al gimnàs perquè puguem tornar -hi.”

 

Molina (13-1-1, 10 KOs) protestat, Però, excepte un impressionant eliminat.

 

“Vaig sentir que Hurd llançava molts cops de puny a la desena ronda, però realment no em feien mal,”Va dir Molina. “Es mantenia ocupat, però mai no em feia mal a mi.

 

"Vaig anar baix i vaig tenir el cap cap avall i em va atrapar amb aquest major a la primera volta. Em va aconseguir amb un tret que no esperava, però definitivament va ser un cop de flaix. No em va fer mal.

 

“Se suposava que havia d'utilitzar molt més el meu treball. Va tenir una defensa incòmoda amb molta doblecció i no podia entrar en un ritme.

 

“Aquesta va ser una gran oportunitat per a mi i sentia que vaig lluitar contra una bona lluita. Tornaré més fort. Anem a treballar en moltes coses i tornarem a entrar.”

 

Boxa del Campionat Showtime a CBS, Presentat per Premier Boxing Champions, va ser promogut per Dibella Entertainment.

 

A principis del vespre a Showtime, Anthony Joshua, que va defensar amb èxit, va defensar amb èxit el seu campionat mundial de pes pesat IBF per primera vegada amb una setena eliminatòria del Dominic Breazeale nord -americà anteriorment invicte a l'O2 de Londres. VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/28VGgsa

 

A continuació es mostren les cotitzacions de Joshua després Dissabte de Guanya a Showtime Boxing International:

 

Molts van pensar que Dominic Breazeale no seria capaç de plantar cara a la vostra potència i velocitat, Però heu agraït l’oportunitat de treballar una mica més de les vostres habilitats de boxa?

“Bé, És difícil perquè es pot veure que han de fer mal amb cada tret – Doncs no tots els trets – Però quan comenceu a agafar -los a Flush, Poden sentir els trets amb aquests guants de deu unces encesos. Així, només és qüestió de temps, Però, en el procés, no volia rebre cap fabricant de feixos a la tornada.

 

"Ha estat dur que he tingut dues setmanes de descans després de la meva última lluita, i es va tornar directament al gimnàs, de manera que va ser dur. Tinc un bon petit descans per una vegada i després puc tornar amb bateries recarregades.”

 

Sabem que Deontay Wilder estava veient la lluita. Tens un missatge per a ell, El campió del WBC?

“Persona inspiradora increïble. Va ser pacient, 30-baralles estranyes [i] Va tenir les mans al WBC [cinturó]. Estic seguint el vestit. Estic fent el meu camí cap als EUA. amb Showtime també em recolza. Així, Ho va veure.

 

“Pot recollir tot el que vulgui recollir -ho, Però és tan diferent quan esteu al ring els uns amb els altres. Així que un dia experimentarem el que es tracta.”

 

A qui vols lluitar a continuació?

“Doncs crec que haurà de ser com els gustos [Joseph] Parker. Estava realment mirant Fury ... espero que millori aviat. Malauradament li va ferir el turmell, que l’ha ajornat perquè esperava aconseguir -ho algun temps a l’hivern si tot anava bé 9 de juliol Com ho va feraquesta nit, Però haurem de tornar a programar això i, mentrestant,, Podem mirar altres oponents com Parker, Si està vacant, O qualsevol altra persona que vulgui la gent.”

 

En què creieu que encara heu de treballar?

“Descansa. Necessito descansar. Estic cansat, Estic treballant molt i com he dit, Ara puc aconseguir -ho

Below is what the fighters had to say at the final press conference, followed by some recent fight week quotes. (Courtesy Sky Sports and Matchroom Sport)

 

ANTHONYJOSHUA:

 

“You’re in my jungle now. No hi ha pressió sobre mi.

 

“Once that bell goes, you can’t hide the instinct, the instinct that you want to get someone out of there. I hope I can go in there, stay relaxed and do what I planned to do. But once that bell rings something just comes over you and you want to get him out of there ASAP.

 

“There will always be pressure. But look, it’s always been the same concept: Train hard – it’s the same ring. It hasn’t changed.

 

“I’ve got nothing to lose. I’ve always explained let’s get rid of the belts, the atmosphere, because when the bell goes it’s just me and him in the ring. Two gladiators, two respectful warriors coming together. We’re going to slug it out and put our 0s on the line.”

 

“I’m prepared, Dominic is prepared well, and one of us has to take a loss.

 

“Each fight is a stepping stone to the big tests. I want to look like the real deal.”

 

“I think we’re in the golden era of boxing again.”

 

DOMINIC Breazeale:

“I respect you as a fighter, but I’m going to beat you. I’ve got to beat the best of the best.”

 

“No puc esperar, it’s been an opportunity I’ve been waiting eight years for this. It’s an opportunity of a lifetime and I’m ready for this.

 

“Compti amb focs artificials. We’ll be going round for round, punch for punch and I expect to knock out Joshua.”

 

“I got a big right hand, I have a big left hook. I stand 6-foot-7, 255 lliura. I’m unorthodox – I’m a guy that can fight on the inside, I’m a guy that can take a punch, I’m a guy that can give a punch. So if any one of those given things show up en dissabte night I’m getting a knockout, segur.

 

“It’s a major advantage just for me to have Anthony Joshua the whole time. I don’t want him at any given point for him to feel like he’s in his comfort zone, his own backyard or his own little lion’s den.

 

“That’s what I came across the pond to do. I came across the pond to get my belt and take it back home with me.

 

“It’s my Super Bowl. Being a former football player, this is my Super Bowl.”

 

“Everybody keeps comparing me to Charles Martin, the only thing that we have in common is that we’re both American. We have a completely different fight style, different goals in life.

 

“I’m a big puncher, so is Anthony Joshua. He has the belt and I intend to have it en dissabte nit.

 

ADDITIONAL FIGHT WEEK QUOTES:

 

Anthony Joshua

 

"Estic 16 baralles, 16 victòries, Dominic is 17 baralles, 17 victòries. We’ve been pro for the same amount of time, amateurs for the same time so we’re at a similar level on paper.

 

“People think this will end in two rounds? Brilliant. I am winning fights early because of my talent and hard work. Where I am in my career, it’s a perfect fight.

 

“I don’t overlook anyone. People talk and talk, that’s irrelevant. It’s all about whether he can fight. I think he believes in himself, but he knows what’s in store here, he needs to know I’m serious about this boxing. He thinks he’s going to KO me, he’s dismissed Charles Martin — sometimes you just have to humble somebody and show levels, let them know it’s not that easy.

 

“The second I stepped in to the pros it was ‘Boom!’ — Anthony Joshua – headlining. That’s not down to me, its media channels and people wanting to get to know the guy behind the gloves. So it’s been hard to build a career at the right pace without criticism because people want to see me in massive fights right now.

 

“You can’t jump from hero to zero, there are people guiding us over a long and a dangerous career. People have to understand that it’s a development of a career, and if I ever train a fighter, I’ll tell them the same thing.”

 

On fellow heavyweight world champions Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury:

“This won’t be my only defense, I want there to be lots and lots, and at the right time I will fight David Haye, Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and the rest. We’re in an era now where we have to fight each other. There’s never been an era when the best don’t fight the best at heavyweight — but they have to happen at the right time, and they will.

 

“We are all world champions as we hold all the belts that are available. We’re all talented. Deontay has defended his title multiple times so you have to give him credit for that. Tyson and I haven’t defended yet, so I put Deontay at the top. But Tyson beat Wladimir Klitschko who reigned for such a long time.

 

“I am happy because I became a world champion in my 16th fight and they won theirs later in their careers. But Tyson beat the main man in the division, and Deontay has defended his belt lots of times, so I am in third right now, but I am building my way up.

 

“Put the belts to one side, they don’t give you magical powers. A lot of fighters lose their belt in their first defense. It’s about developing your raw talent and making sure you keep on an upward curve because there’s hungry young challengers snapping at your heels all the time, ready to expose you – and I refuse that to happen to me.”

 

On Charles Martin:

“Abans de la lluita, no one criticized (Charles) Martín. He was undefeated, noqueant nois, tall southpaw, perillós. Bookies were taking a lot of bets on him knocking me out. Tyson Fury backed him to do just that and a lot of people thought it would be tricky. Up until I beat him, he was seen as a worthy fighter. I figured him out quickly and I made him look bad. He didn’t look like the champion people thought he was, but you have to respect him.”

 

On thinking about losing:

“I think about losing all the time, I’m scared of it. That keeps me humble and working hard. I don’t think people are going to beat me or anything, but I don’t want to lose, and I know that if I work hard and keep improving, I won’t lose.

 

“I get enough attention from this job. Hi ha 20,000 fans at the fights, millions watching on TV around the world. I don’t need to seek attention. I’m not a trash talker because the fists do the talking.’’

 

On being a role model:

“I know that there are a lot of kids watching me now and their parents say ‘my son loves you’ and that’s in my mind.

 

“I’ll be myself all the time, but that sense of being a role model and having kid’s look up to you, that checks the emotions that could come out if you get wound up. You have to conduct yourself.’’

 

On Tyson Fury:

“Tyson talks a lot. I hear so many different things, if he was consistent with what he says then maybe I’d think he was digging a bit, but it’s just water off a duck’s back. no el conec, but as long as people are saying ‘when are you going to fight him?’ then I like him because he is relevant.

 

“It would be such a huge fight and one that would be part of my legacy. I think because he’s beaten Wladimir once he can do it again. I didn’t think he’d win the first fight, but he pulled it off.

 

“I’d love to fight Tyson – it’s a match-up that needs to happen. There have been talks, whether they are a quick chat or serious negotiations, but you can’t click your fingers and come up with a mega fight. It takes time, but they are in the pipeline and we’re building towards them, and in the meantime I want to test myself and learn my craft. I need to perform well to prove that I can handle the massive fights.’’

 

On fellow British heavyweight David Haye:

“David is running the show and people know it, so when he goes in against soft opponents, he’s putting his neck on the line to get the stick. Fans expect more from him and he’s not meeting those levels, and that’s where the backlash comes from. The people he’s calling out versus the two guys he has fought, they just don’t add up, and that’s what people are frustrated about.

 

“I don’t think you can knock the Shannon Briggs fight. He’s made a lot of noise, he’s old school and it’s a good fight for David to take, win and move upwards. Shannon had made noise and he’s got his moment and who knows? Maybe he can shock the world. He’s old, but he trains hard and he’s in great condition, and that’s why people love the heavyweights because it’s that one shot.

 

“A fight with Fury and I is the biggest fight in British boxing in my opinion. The Haye fight is big too; there’s enough media interest for it to be big. It’s already big and we’re not even fighting yet, so imagine how big it would be once we get in there. It’d be unbelievable and that’s why I am so interested in the fights.”

 

DOMINIC Breazeale:

“I plan on putting on some extreme pressure and taking Joshua to places he’s never been. We’ll find out if he can handle it.

 

“Do I want to see him go into uncharted territory? Per descomptat, sens dubte.

 

“I’ve been there, I know what it feels like and I’ve done it several times now. Al mateix temps, I’m not going to let an opportunity pass me. If I see something I can take in the first or second round, I’m definitely going to get him out of there.

 

“I’ve sparred guys that are bigger than me, I’ve sparred some guys smaller than me. I’ve been the tallest thus far (dels seus oponents professionals), but I don’t think the difference in a matter of inches is going to make that big of a difference. The guys I’ve sparred with are 10 times better than Anthony Joshua.

 

“I think that it’s going to be one of those situations that it is not going to be a difference of size or weight. It’s going to be the difference of skill and experience.

 

“When you think of a heavyweight champion you want to make sure he’s fought the best, and I think that’s why Joshua has chosen me as his opponent to defend against. That’s what he plans on getting out of the situation if he can make it through the 12 rondes.

 

“I think Joshua’s thinking of me as a stepping stone and he’s going to be sorry about that. He’s just wrong. He’s fighting a guy at 6-foot-7, 255 pounds that brings the pressure and a great pace from round-to-round.

 

“I’m one of those guys that I might take a shot, I might work some defense or I might work a strong jab. De qualsevol manera, I’m going to make it a fight. All of my opponents have been down on the canvas and I don’t think Joshua is going to come shy of that as well.

 

“I’ve been picked as the smaller guy in the ring, by the IBF as a stepping stone and I feel like my back is against the wall. I’m going to come out fighting.

 

“To come here and win the IBF title in London is a major thing for me that I plan to achieve. Then I want to continuing to go after all the titles.

 

“My mind set has definitely changed. The situation that I’m in mentally is just different compared to some of my fights in the past. My confidence level is through the roof and physically I feel great.

 

“I think the heavyweight division is getting ready to change. With individuals like myself, Deontay and Tyson, we have guys who are characters who bring a lot of charisma to the division. That’s something that we need. Sí, we are athletes but in the end we are entertainers and we want to see a show. I’m the type of guy that brings a show every single time I fight. It’s action-packed from the opening bell to the end, and fight fans are looking for that. That’s what is going to resurrect the heavyweight division.’’

 

On his win over Amir Mansour:

“That was another confidence booster for me. It’s one thing to finish a guy in the first round with three punches or something like that. It’s another thing to finish a guy in the sixth, seventh round with a combination of shots.

 

“Amir put me down on the canvas in the second, I battled back and ended up breaking the man’s jaw.

 

“It gives me something to work on. I know I was able to come back and be very successful from it. Anytime you get a win of that matter where you get a guy, break him down, break him down where he quits on the stool, it’s a huge confidence booster. It makes you understand as an athlete or as a professional boxer that you’ve got punching power, you just broke another man’s jaw.’’

 

On returning to London after the 2012 Jocs Olímpics:

“I think it’s going to beautiful. It’s going to be great to go back to where my amateur career ended and beat the guy who won the gold medal. That’s going to be great. I llavors, on top of that, take away more hardware with the IBF Heavyweight title. You couldn’t ask for anything better.

 

“Then again I do understand and believe I’m a completely different fighter — not only am I a professional but I no longer fight an amateur style. I would consider myself a knockout artist with some pretty good punching power and that’s what I plan on showing the UK fans and my U.S. following. It’s a chapter that needs to be closed and I plan on doing that.’’

 

On the state of the heavyweight division:

“I believe that we’ve got a lot of heavyweights who are doing real well and are real successful in their situations, some being titleholders, some not. But I think it’s going to be a revolving circle. Me fighting Anthony Joshua, then going on to Deontay and Fury, Wladimir Klitschko might even hang around for a while. Will it ever be compared to the Ali days or Riddick Bowe and the Evander Holyfield days? No ho sé. Bowe and Holyfield had one great trilogy and I study it all the time. So it all depends on how much each fighter has left in him.’’
