With a victory, Davis will hold world championships in three different divisions simultaneously, a feat only accomplished by a few fighters in history, including Henry Armstrong and Canelo Alvarez.
Here is what Davis, along with trainerCalvin Ford, dan Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe, had to say Wednesday from the Mayweather Boxing Club:
GERVONTA DAVIS
“We can’t say who the bigger puncher is until we get in that ring and test his power. It doesn’t matter who is stronger, I want to be better than him across the board and in every aspect of the game.
“People who are here in the gym with me see a lot of things that I don’t need to bring out, even in my fights. Floyd is always telling me to box and use my skills, and don’t always look for the knockout. This camp we’ve actually been working on getting back to that and letting the knockout come.
"Untuk saya, greatness is just not going backwards. I just want to keep going forward no matter what. No matter who’s in front of me, I just have to go through them. Where I’m from, a lot of people don’t make it out, so I’m doing something right. It doesn’t even have to be an opponent, it can be something outside of the ring. I’m always chasing greatness.
“My thing is just beat whoever is put in front of me. When it’s time, we’ll see who the top guy is. Sampai saat itu, I don’t need to speak on any other fighter than the one in front of me.
“Barrios and I have been through the amateurs together. He’s known what I’ve been doing. It’s crazy how life works out sometimes.
“I’m a team player, so whatever my team tells me has to be done to better myself, I’m all for it. That’s what’s made me so good. I don’t just stand out by myself. I have the best team in boxing.
“My last fight people complained that Leo Santa Cruz was too small, so I’m basically going out there and showing that a size difference doesn’t matter. I’m going to beat whoever they put in front of me. I’m trying to chase greatness.
“I’m definitely looking to walk down the bigger guy. He might feel like he can walk me down. I was definitely watching Floyd fight a much bigger guy in Logan Paul and taking a few pointers from it.
“I don’t know what Barrios will bring, but from my side, I’m bringing everything I’ve got. You know whenever I fight, I’m bringing something for the fans to enjoy.”
CALVIN FORD, Davis’ Trainer
“’Tank’s’ pay-per-view numbers opened up the doors for the rest of them. It’s because of ‘Tank’s’ social media. When people ask me why people gravitate towards him – he’s just like any kid that’s coming up from the inner cities. Look at basketball players – inner cities. Look at football players – inner cities. He’s showing them that if you put the right people around you and you put your mind to something, apa pun mungkin.
“’Tank’, Devin Haney, Teofimo Lopez and Ryan Garcia will be the Four Kings if the fights happen. Mari kita tetap nyata. Sekarang juga, they’re doing the same thing that the Four Kings did at the beginning stage. All we have to do is sit back and let the minds that be, do their thing. It’s going to happen. All these fights that people want to see are going to happen.
“Have you noticed that ‘Tank’ don’t call anybody out? He never did. But if you put him in front of somebody, he’s going to show you. If you know ‘Tank’ from the amateurs, he’s going to show up in the ring. He’s like a baby Mike Tyson.
“The weight isn’t what I’m focused on, it’s actually the opponent. When I started studying the opponent, his coach and I go way back in the amateurs. When we see each other, we know each other. It’s about the minds. He knows his athlete and I know my athlete. Malam itu, it’s about the minds. It’s about who is going to hold fast to what they’re supposed to be doing. That’s the fight for me.
“I wouldn’t say this is the toughest test of ‘Tank’s’ career because nobody can show me the best of ‘Tank’ yet. I know the best of ‘Tank’. Ya’ll ain’t seen ‘Tank’.”
LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO Mayweather Promotions
“From top to bottom this is one of those pay-per-view events that you don’t want to miss. Anytime you have the most exciting fighter in the sport, you know it’s going to be big. Don’t expect anything less on June 26.
“Coach Calvin Ford is a tremendous trainer who’s been with Gervonta since day one and they have a great game plan in place. I fully expect him to be able to execute. But Barrios is coming for him. He’s got a great trainer himself in Virgil Hunter and has made great progression with Virgil.
“We know this is going to be a tough fight, but Gervonta just has to figure it out from the opening bell. And I believe he’ll do that, but it will take some time. Barrios is looking to upset the apple cart.
“Gervonta is molding into his comfort zone. He’s becoming more comfortable with the media because he truly understands what he has in front of him. He knows that his ceiling is to be the biggest star in the sport. On the inside of the ring though, nothing has changed.
“The co-feature is a terrific bout with Erickson Lubin taking on Jeison Rosario. That’s going to be a very entertaining fight. A win for Lubin puts him one step closer to his ultimate goal. Lubin feels like he’s the best in the weight class and eventually right that wrong of his loss to Jermell Charlo. But he has a tough rugged fighter in front of him and that should be an exciting bout.
“Former unified champion Julian Williams is looking to bounce back against Brian Mendoza on the pay-per-view. Julian is obviously one of the top fighters in the division, and he’s looking to get back what he lost.
“In the opening bout the very tough Batyr Akhmedov is up against Argenis Mendez, who is always in go-mode. So it really shows you how highly entertaining this card is all the way through. I’m really excited to be back at State Farm Arena.”
MIAMI(Bulan Juni 7, 2021) – All-time boxing greatFloyd "Money" Mayweatherand social media sensationLogan “The Maverick” Paulfought to the distance in their eight-round special exhibition bout Sunday night that headlined a SHOWTIME PPV from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
“Dia kuat, tough and better than I thought he was,"Kata Mayweather. “I was surprised by him tonight. That was some good little work.”
“It’s an honor to share the ring with Floyd,” said Paul. “He’s one of the GOATs. This is one of the coolest things ever.”
After weeks of buildup, the star-studded event pitted superstars from two different worlds in a highly anticipated showdown for sports and entertainment fans around the globe.
Mayweather displayed his typical patient and clinical boxing style, feeling out Paul in the opening round, before allowing Paul to come forward with a flurry of power shots at the end of the round that were mostly blocked, but excited the crowd nonetheless. As the fight wore on, Mayweather began to find a spot to land numerous power shots on Paul’s head and body.
Despite sustaining punishment in the middle rounds, Paul was able to use his over 30-pound weight advantage to frequently tie Mayweather up and avoid being stopped or sent to the canvas.
“Even without much experience, he knew to use his weight to tie me up tonight,"Kata Mayweather.
Setelah pertarungan, the fighters expressed gratitude and inspiration to the fans who have helped them reach the tremendous heights that allowed this match to become reality.
“I had fun tonight,"Kata Mayweather. “I thank all the fans who came out, you’re all unbelievable.”
“I don’t want anyone to tell me anything is impossible ever again,” said Paul. “The fact that I got in here with one of the greatest boxers of all time, it proves the odds can be beat. Anyone can beat the odds and do great things in life. This is one of the greatest nights of my life, Saya senang. "
In the co-main event former two-division world championBadou Jack(24-3-3, 14 Biaya)delivered a dominating fourth-round stoppage of previously unbeatenBukit Dervin(15-1, 13 Biaya)in their light heavyweight duel.
“The game plan was just to outbox him,” said Jack. “Everything else will come. Sudah Pasti, hit the body. He was a little soft in the body but I give him respect. He came out on short notice. He was supposed to fight next week but this is a different level.”
Known as a slow starter throughout his accomplished career, Jack came out faster in this fight and was sharp from the outset against the replacement opponent Colina, who stepped in for Jean Pascal after Pascal failed a pre-fight drug test.
“He was trying to hold a lot and survive,” said Jack. “I fight better when I fight better opponents. I was a little sloppy. The world class fights are when I perform the best.”
Jack’s effectiveness forced Colina to try to hold to stop the incoming attack, but he was only able to use that strategy briefly, as referee Frank Santore Jr. took away points for holding in rounds two and three, warning Colina that one more infraction would end the fight in disqualification.
Di babak empat, Jack landed a straight right hand that put Colina on the mat in the opening minute of the frame. Colina fought valiantly to stay in the fight, but the body attack from Jack helped him finally earn the stoppage. A combination to the body put Colina down for the second time and a counter right hand dropped Colina for a third and final time as the referee halted the fight at 2:57 di putaran.
“I’m a big guy and I walk around heavy, so I might move up to cruiserweight,” said Jack post fight about his future plans. “My goal is to become a three-division champion and I fight better when I don’t have to cut a lot of weight.”
The pay-per-view telecast also saw veteran contenderLuis Arias(19-2-1, 9 Biaya)score a split-decision victory over former unified 154-pound championJarrett Hurd “Cepat”(24-2, 16 Biaya)in an action-packed 10-round affair.
“I’m not sure what went wrong tonight,” said Hurd. “I believe I won the fight. I had a knockdown. I could make a hundred excuses but it wasn’t a great performance.”
Arias controlled the early rounds of the duel, attacking Hurd with numerous combinations that landed flush. His clean power punching was an advantage throughout, as he out landed Hurd in power punches by a total of 153 untuk 120 while landing over 40% of those shots.
“The game plan was to jump on him, get the early lead and keep it,” said Arias. “I felt like in the middle rounds I was winning the fight but you never know because I wasn’t the A-side in this fight. I buzzed him a lot, especially on the inside.”
Hurd began to attempt to mount a comeback in rounds five and six, closing the distance effectively and finding a home for short right hooks and right uppercuts, with Arias even acknowledging that he was made unsteady after the action.
“I came in here and challenged the number one guy at 154 pounds and we fought somewhere halfway and I was able to edge a decision,” said Arias. “Props to Jarrett Hurd. You fought a great fight. Dengan Jujur, you could have had me out of there. I was definitely buzzed. If you would have found a way, I definitely would have gone down.”
In a fight that had two brief delays to weather affecting the ring surface, Hurd scored a knockdown in round nine with a glancing right hand after Arias appeared to slip on the ring. Despite the advantage on the scorecard, the uneasy footing affected Hurd’s plan to box Arias from the outside.
“The plan coming out in the first round was to box,” said Hurd. “I wasn’t as confident in my feet as the rain came down, so I had to go toe-to-toe more. That wasn’t really what we trained for, so I was a bit sloppy.”
Arias bounced back effectively from the knockdown in the final round, with his onslaught eventually forcing Hurd to look to hold on in the final minutes to reach the final bell. In his first outing with new trainer Ismael Salas, Arias ended the night victorious, with one judge scoring the fight 95-94 for Hurd, overruled by scores of 97-93 dan 96-93 for Arias.
“I would like to thank Ismael Salas,” said Arias. “I came to him semi-late. About six or seven weeks and I needed to change something in my game plan to beat Jarrett. The things I was doing before would have gotten me a loss tonight. I needed somebody to just tweak a little bit and put my game up a little bit so I could beat this champion.”
“I’ll take the rematch at whatever weight,” said Hurd. “I know I’m the better man.”
In the opening bout of the pay-per-view, former NFL starChad Johnsonmade his boxing debut in an exhibition that went the four-round distance against versatile pro fighterBrian Maxwell.
“I had fun,” said Johnson. “I had two months to get ready for this and I want to thank God for keeping us safe out there. I want to thank Floyd, Leonard Ellerbe and my whole team for allowing me to check this off my bucket list.”
“Ask the world who Brian Maxwell is now,” said Maxwell. “Brian Maxwell is here. Terima kasih, Chad. It was an honor fighting my idol and I appreciate it.”
Johnson showed off the “sweet feet” that made him a six-time Pro Bowler, landing some strong jabs and check hooks from distance, while avoiding serious damage from Maxwell over the first three rounds.
Di babak empat, Maxwell provided an exclamation to the bout, landing a counter overhand right that connected and put Johnson onto the canvas with 40 detik tersisa di putaran. In his first foray into the sweet science, Johnson was able to recover from the shot, get to his feet and make it to the final bell.
Always willing to step into uncomfortable waters throughout his career, Johnson post-fight expressed hope that his venture into the ring will serve as a positive example for those watching.
“My life has always been about taking chances and doing crazy stuff and this is just another one off my bucket list,” said Johnson. “It’s a message for a lot of people who are scared to fail, scared to lose, scared to take chances to go out there and live. Don’t be scared to fail, it’s okay. I don’t box. I fight but it ain’t in the ring, so of course I was a little sloppy.”

Inilah yang dikatakan para petarung pada hari Jumat dari JW Marriott Miami Turnberry:
JACK Badou
“Saya hanya bersyukur bahwa saya masih berjuang pada Minggu malam. Sekarang kami memiliki lawan baru dan hasilnya akan sama. Saya dalam kondisi sangat baik dan saya tidak sabar.
“Colina hanyalah pria lain. Saya menghormatinya karena datang dan melangkah sebagai pengganti yang terlambat. Tapi saya akan memenangkan pertarungan ini pada hari Minggu apakah itu Pascal atau siapa pun.
“Saya sangat frustrasi tentang Jean Pascal. Tapi saya pro dan saya bisa menyesuaikan siapa pun yang ada di depan saya. Saya kecewa karena saya memenangkan pertarungan pertama melawan Pascal dan saya menunggu 18 bulan untuk membalas dendamku my.
“Saya memiliki sedikit kemarahan yang mungkin terbawa pada Colina, tapi itu bukan masalah pribadi, hanya bisnis yang saya di sini untuk mengurus pada Minggu malam.
“Aku tidak terlalu peduli dengan judulnya, Aku benar-benar hanya peduli untuk membalas dendam terhadap Pascal. Saya menunggu begitu lama untuk ini dan saya bisa melakukan pertarungan yang berbeda sambil menunggu.
“Dia pria yang tak terkalahkan, jadi dia akan datang ke sini dengan penuh percaya diri untuk memamerkan kekuatannya.. Kami akan siap meskipun bagaimanapun dia datang ke pertarungan. Saya memiliki sparring yang hebat seperti biasanya, jadi saya siap untuk apa yang akan dia bawa.”
BUKIT DERVIN
“Saya ingin berterima kasih kepada Tim Badou Jack atas kesempatannya. Ini adalah apa yang saya lakukan. Saya lahir untuk ini. Ayo hari Minggu kalian akan melihat apa yang saya lakukan.
“Aku dijadwalkan untuk bertarung June 11 pada kartu yang berbeda. Pertarungan datang sedikit lebih awal pada bulan Juni 6. Tapi saya siap bertarung dan tidak ada alasan untuk pertarungan ini. Saya datang untuk menang dengan segala cara. Dan Anda akan melihat apa yang saya lakukan pada hari Minggu.
“Saya menghormati Badou dan apa yang dia lakukan di olahraga ini, tapi saya tahu bahwa saya memiliki semua yang saya butuhkan untuk mengejutkan dunia datang Minggu malam.
“Saya tidak akan rugi apa-apa dan itu membuat saya berbahaya. Saya akan meninggalkan segalanya di atas ring dan mengumumkan kepada seluruh dunia bahwa saya seorang petarung yang akan Anda dengar.”
JARRETT HURD
“Semua orang tahu saya memiliki urusan yang belum selesai dengan berat 154 pon. Saya tidak melihat melewati Arias sekalipun. Pertarungan ini hanya berhenti di kelas menengah karena saya akan kembali turun untuk mengurus bisnis itu.
“Kami memiliki kamp pelatihan yang luar biasa dengan pelatih baru saya Kay Koroma di Colorado Springs. Saya memiliki chip di bahu saya. Saya pikir banyak orang lupa siapa saya. Saya memiliki resume terbaik di kelas berat. Datanglah hari Minggu, Saya akan mengingatkan semua orang siapa saya.
“Itu selalu bisnis yang ketat dan itu akan sama pada hari Minggu. Arias terobsesi dengan berat badanku dan mengira aku sedang berjuang. Tapi dia perlu fokus pada apa yang perlu dia lakukan pada Minggu malam.
“Saya tidak tahu di mana saya dinilai sekarang, tapi aku petarung terbaik di 154 pon. Menunjukkan kepada dunia adalah tujuan pada hari Minggu.
“Kami baru saja membawanya kembali ke dasar di kamp pelatihan dengan pelatih saya Kay Koroma. Anda selalu dapat belajar lebih banyak dalam olahraga.
“Aku sudah bertinju selama 15 tahun sekarang dan pelatih Koroma baru saja membantu saya mengembangkan hal-hal yang sudah saya ketahui. Dia membuat saya tidak hanya maju dan menggunakan kekuatan saya, tapi sedikit bergerak dan bertinju.”
LUIS ARIAS
“Saya pikir narasinya adalah mereka membutuhkan lawan untuk Jarrett Hurd, dan aku tidak terlihat begitu hebat akhir-akhir ini. Tapi orang cenderung melupakan aku 18-0 sebelum saya mendapatkan noda pertama saya. Ketika saya bersama Floyd Mayweather, Tadi saya 9-0 dan saat itulah aku merasa paling nyaman. Itulah mentalitas yang saya ambil dalam pertarungan ini.
“Saya sudah berada di sekitar Floyd sejak Desember. Saya pernah mengikuti pelatihan Vegas di ketinggian, seperti Hurd. Saya dalam kondisi prima untuk pertarungan ini dan dia masih harus memikirkan bagaimana dia akan bertarung.
“Sekarang dunia tinju akan menyaksikan pertarungan ini. Saya akan menggunakan Ps dan Qs saya dan dia tidak perlu mencari saya. Dia harus memilih dan memilih begitu dia dipukul pada hari Minggu gaya apa yang ingin dia lawan.
“Ini harus dimenangkan bagiku. Ini adalah nama yang bagus untuk resume saya. Saya belum membohongi siapa pun. Saya telah mengambil setiap nama yang diberikan kepada saya. Ketika namanya muncul, saya berkata benar-benar. Saya siap dan saya seorang pejuang sekolah tua. Aku akan melawanmu di halaman belakang ini, halaman belakang itu, halaman belakang manapun. Pada hari Minggu itu akan menunjukkan.
“Dialah yang memiliki masalah dengan berat badan. Pertarungan tidak terlalu masuk akal di 160 karena dia tidak berperingkat dan ingin kembali ke 154. Tapi itu peluang yang terlalu besar dan kartu yang terlalu besar untuk dikeluhkan tentang bobotnya. Kami akan mengenakan sarung tangan dan berapa pun beratnya, dia menimbang. Ini akan menjadi pertarungan terbaik.”
CHAD JOHNSON
“Saya merasa sangat baik. Saya telah menggunakan tinju untuk mempersiapkan sepak bola selama bertahun-tahun, tapi aku belum pernah melakukannya sebesar ini. Untuk mempersiapkan pertarungan yang sebenarnya, adalah sesuatu yang baru. Saya menghadapi seorang pria yang melakukan ini untuk mencari nafkah, jadi saya tidak menganggap enteng ini sama sekali.
“Saya selalu gugup sebelum setiap kickoff. Jadi saya bodoh untuk mengatakan saya tidak gugup pergi ke sesuatu di mana saya keluar dari elemen saya.
“Satu hal yang sangat aku kuasai, adalah ketika ada lampu, kamera dan kerumunan, akan masuk ke sana dan menghibur.
“Saya telah sedikit bekerja dengan Jorge Masvidal, tetapi beberapa minggu terakhir berada di Houston bersama Jermall dan Jermell Charlo. Di situlah sebagian besar pekerjaan saya. Saya telah melakukan segala yang mungkin untuk memastikan saya terlihat seperti Minggu malam.
“Aku keluar dari elemenku, jadi tentu saja saya mendekati pertarungan ini dengan rendah hati. Dia datang untuk menjatuhkan kepalaku. Sepak bola adalah sesuatu yang saya lakukan sepanjang hidup saya, itu sebabnya saya berjalan seperti yang saya lakukan. Saya tidak bisa sombong dan menganggap enteng pertarungan ini.”
BRIAN MAXWELL
“Saya tidak tahu bagaimana nama saya muncul untuk pertarungan ini. Tapi seperti yang dikatakan semua orang, 'Siapa Brian Maxwell?' Itu menjadi trending topik di setiap media sosial social. Tapi coba tebak? Hari Ini, Anda semua tahu siapa Brian Maxwell. Dan saya bersemangat tentang ini. Ini pertarungan yang sempurna untukku. Ini pertarungan yang sempurna untuk Chad. Terbaik dari kedua dunia. Berasal dari penggemar. Tagar saya di media sosial telah menjadi 'Idols Menjadi Rival.' Dan ini adalah waktu yang tepat dan momen yang tepat untuk saya dan dia. Seperti yang saya katakan padanya melalui telepon, Saya penggemar berat. Tapi fanboy telah keluar jendela. Sekarang kami harus menghibur dan itulah yang akan kami lakukan.
“Ini adalah pameran, jadi kami datang untuk menghibur para penggemar dan mengadakan pertunjukan. Tetapi pada saat yang sama, kita adalah dua pria yang datang di depan satu sama lain dan harus bertarung. Apapun hasilnya, kita akan melakukan pertarungan hebat.
“Aku sudah mengikuti pria ini sejak Day 1. Aku tahu setiap gerakannya. Saya telah mencontoh diri saya setelah dia dan itu seperti melawan diri saya sendiri. Saya akan rendah hati tentang ini dan kami akan mengadakan pertunjukan untuk semua orang.
“Itulah pertanyaannya, ronde apa aku akan menjatuhkannya?. Saya di sini untuk menghibur dan bersenang-senang. Ini adalah kesempatan besar.”
LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO Mayweather Promotions
“Kami memiliki undercard bertumpuk pada Minggu malam. Saya telah mempromosikan banyak acara dan ini adalah salah satu yang sangat saya nantikan, karena itu memberi kita serangkaian pertarungan hebat selain sedikit sesuatu yang berbeda.
“Saya sangat menantikan kartu ini. Florida Selatan telah ramai sejak kami mengumumkan acara ini. Kami tidak sabar menunggu kerumunan besar dan banyak penggemar yang datang dari seluruh dunia.
“Ketika saya memikirkan Chad Johnson, dia pemain sandiwara. Dia melakukan banyak hal berbeda dengan sangat baik. Dia akan terjun ke industri tinju dalam pertarungan hebat melawan Brian Maxwell. Chad mencari kemungkinan untuk mencuri perhatian, itulah yang dia dikenal karena melakukan.
“Mantan juara bersatu Jarrett Hurd adalah juara yang hebat dan saya sudah mengenalnya selama bertahun-tahun. Dia ingin kembali dan membuat tanda di mana dia tinggalkan. Dia memberi tahu bahwa setelah pertarungan ini, dia akan mengendalikan divisi 154 pon lagi. Dia akan melawan Luis Arias dari Mayweather Promotions sendiri dan saya memiliki kesempatan untuk menyaksikan persiapan Arias secara langsung. Saya dapat memberitahu Anda sekarang dia lebih dari siap untuk mengecewakan Jarrett.
“Selain itu, Saya tidak bisa mengatakan cukup tentang Badou Jack. Dia adalah juara yang hebat di atas ring dan contoh yang luar biasa di luar ring. Dia melakukan banyak hal untuk membantu orang-orang di seluruh dunia dan Floyd dan saya sangat bangga padanya. Kami tahu dia akan menampilkan pertunjukan yang bagus hari Minggu.
“Ketika datang ke undercard ini, para penggemar sedang dalam suguhan yang luar biasa. Ini akan menjadi apa-apa selain tindakan dari atas ke bawah.”

“I’m transitioning that flair you saw from me on the football field
all into this sport.”
Former NFL Star Wide Receiver Chad Johnson Makes Boxing Debut In an Exhibition Against Versatile Fighter Brian Maxwell on Mayweather vs. Paul SHOWTIME PPV®Undercard Sunday, Bulan Juni 6 dari Stadion Hard Rock di Miami Gardens
HOUSTON-(Mei 26, 2021) – Former NFL star wide receiverChad Johnsonmade a name for himself throughout his storied career by combining elite on-field production with highlight-reel celebrations and an outspokenness that made him a household name. Saat Ini, he will look to take that same formula into his boxing debut when he steps into the ring for an exhibition against versatile fighterBrian Maxwellpada hari Minggu, June 6 as part of the Mayweather vs. Paul SHOWTIME PPV event at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
In addition to bringing his brand of entertainment to the event, Johnson compared his own boxing style to one of the sport’s most unique fighters.
“I’m transitioning that flair you saw from me on the football field all into this sport,” said Johnson. “To me, my style is like Emanuel Augustus. Once I got those basic fundamentals down to a tee, I could add that trickery to my game.”
A long-time fan and student of the sweet science, Johnson never believed that he’d have this opportunity to box on this stage. Namun Begitu, once he received word from Mayweather and knew how long he’d have to prepare, he jumped on the chance presented.
“I never thought about stepping in the ring,” said Johnson. “I never thought there would be an opportunity to do so. But I love boxing. I’m friends with every boxer out there because I love and study all of it. I didn’t expect anything like this to happen. When Floyd called, the first thing I wanted to know, was how much time I had to prepare. Once I knew that I had enough time that I could look like myself in there, I knew I could pull it off.”
Always pushing the boundaries of what the public expects from athletes, Johnson will add another feather into what has been a remarkable career as an athlete and entertainer with this fight on June 6.
“This is a one-time thing,” said Johnson. “I’ve done some crazy things in life, and this is one to add and scratch off the bucket list. I’m coming in there to have fun and entertain.”

Berikut adalah apa yang para pejuang harus mengatakan Selasa:
JEAN PASCAL
“I’m very excited about the rematch. I’ve been training in Puerto Rico since December. I’ve been waiting this whole time for the rematch and I’m ready. I respect Badou, but he’s always whining after he loses. The judges said I won the fight and that’s it.
“The first fight, in the first six rounds I did everything well. I might have gotten a little overconfident. I took it a bit too easy after that. The fight got close because of that knockdown he got that wasn’t from a real punch. Without that, it wouldn’t have even been close. We’re going to settle this June 6 di Miami.
“I think I just have to pace myself a little better this fight. I got over excited because I’ve sparred with Badou before and know what I can do. I am a veteran, so I shouldn’t have gotten too excited like that. As far as knocking him down again in this fight, my mom taught me that anything you can do once, you can do twice.
“I do believe that Badou respects my power. If he doesn’t, then he better watch that fourth round again. But I also have skills with my power. I am naturally-gifted and I have the better skills. I was born for this sport and built to win.
“I really think the work in the gym will help so I don’t have ring rust. Saya seorang veteran. I’ve been here and done that. At this age, it’s better to have more rest than to be over trained. I had the right intensity in camp to make sure I’m not over trained.
“He’s coming for revenge and I’m coming with bad intentions. Ini akan menjadi pertunjukan besar, so make sure you tune-in for this one.”
JACK Badou “I’m feeling great with my new trainer Jonathon Banks. Physically I’m in amazing shape and I can’t wait. Another week and a half and it’s all going to happen.
“This has been in the works since our first fight. Last year Floyd called me and said, ‘it’s on.’ Then the pandemic hit and it got pushed back. There is a reason there is a rematch, because everyone knows who won that fight. It’s better late than never. I was back in the gym Monday after the first fight.
“There were three judges and Julie Lederman had it for me and the two other guys had never judged a big fight before. We have two judges for this fight: the right hand and the left hand. Itu dia. I’m very confident for this fight and I’m not worried about the judges. I know Jean Pascal is a warrior, and I’m a warrior. Aku hanya siap untuk melawan.
“Looking at the past, iya nih, I need to start faster. Setiap pertarungan, that can apply. I will listen to my corner, and we’re going to figure out how to win the fight. By any means we need.
“He can say whatever he wants about when I knocked him down. I hit him five straight times and he swung and missed and I hit him. That’s why he went down.
“This is going to be a firefight. We already know that. Tune in to this fight. Boxing is not a game and I’m going to show everyone that and try to steal the show.
“I’ve watched the last fight once or twice, maybe three times. I just need to make some small adjustments. You can always do better. I’m more confident than last time. I know we are both warriors. We’ve fought everyone. We’re the same age (Jack is 37; Pascal 38), even though I look a little bit better. I’m looking younger. Nobody has seen my birth certificate. I’m not really 37. I’m 27.”
JARRETT HURD
“Training camp has been great. I haven’t fought in a year and a half, so I had a chance to really take my time with this camp. I’ve had a lot of time to put in the work. I’m training with fighters like Terence Crawford, Shakur Stevenson, Troy Isley and a lot more. We’re all out here working day after day.
“Arias is a great fighter. This is going to be the type of toe-to-toe fight I like. He’s going to be there in front of me and ready to fight. Dia tidak pernah berhenti, so I’ll be prepared to go the distance.
“We’ve seen this story before from Arias. He talks a big game but look at his fights against top fighters. It doesn’t matter what weight I’m at, Arias knows what’s coming. I suffered a loss, but I got the win in my last fight and I’m on my way back.
“I just need a dominant win on June 6. Luis Arias can make it ugly, but I have to go win convincingly and let everyone know I’m back. I don’t want to win in a sloppy way, I want to look good doing it.
“He might think he’s catching me at the right time, but it’s not going to be a good time for him on June 6. Saya dapat kotak dan saya bisa bang, tidak masalah. We’ll decide on fight night which style I’m going to use. I know that I can beat him either way.
“I tried to work on my bad habits after my loss. I was a straight-forward guy who just came at you. I wanted to show in my last fight against Francisco Santana that I can use my height and range if I need to. I wanted to box all 10 rounds and I did that.
“I still have too much unfinished business at 154-pounds. I have a lot of fights, including my rematch against Julian Williams, that I still want to get. I want to regain my titles. Me and Jermell Charlo is probably the biggest fight at 154 sekarang juga. I want to handle that before I move up in weight.”
LUIS ARIAS
“Camp has been excellent. Saya senang untuk melawan. I think this is a perfect fight and a perfect opportunity. It’s a great matchup. I’ve been working on the right things to make sure I’m one hundred percent prepared for this fight and I think I’m catching Jarrett Hurd at the right time. He’s switching styles. He really doesn’t know how he wants to fight.
“When this fight was brought to me, he was ranked No. 1 at the Ring Magazine at 154 and that’s part of why I wanted this fight. Leonard Ellerbe asked if I was willing to fight Hurd, and I said one hundred percent. It’s all about challenging yourself. This is another challenge and I never turn down a challenge. I’ve been in there with the best and there’s nothing that Jarrett Hurd can bring to the table that I haven’t already seen.
“A win puts me right back in the mix. I’ve always been just one step away from really getting into the mix with the big guys. My last couple fights have all been just one fight away from getting that world title fight. Once I beat Jarrett Hurd on June 6, I’ll be right there with the big dogs. He’s calling out Jermell Charlo and he wants to fight all these other big names, but he’s going to have to get through me. If he loses to me, I’ll be in position for the fights that he wants.
“It’s going to be a hard fight. If he wants to bang, we can bang. If he says he wants to box, he’s not the better boxer. But there’s only one way to find out and we’re going to find out in two weeks. I have to do everything that I can do to make sure that I show up and I impress.
“I’m still young and I’m still fighting my way through. I just needed to make the proper adjustments. I’m not going to be a desperate fighter. I’m going to go in there and fight the way I fight. I’ve always had championship-level fighting in me, but I just haven’t shown it. This is a perfect opportunity for me to show it.
“I’m coming after him. Aku harus menang. He’s not going to have to find me. Aku akan berada di sana. If I have to box him in the middle of the ring or if I have to put my head in his chest and dog him out, then that’s what I got to do. From the opening bell to the final bell, if we make it to the final bell, I’m going to be on him. We’ll see what type of adjustments he makes, but I don’t feel he’s a better inside fighter than me and I don’t feel like he’s a better boxer than me.”
LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO Mayweather Promotions
“The world is buzzing about this whole event, including our terrific undercard with two great professional bouts. Hurd vs. Arias is going to be a scintillating bout. I’ve seen Luis up close and personal during this training camp and I know that he’s 100% prepared and ready to pull off the upset. Hurd on the other hand is looking to maintain his footprint in the 154-pound division and prove he’s the best at that weight.
“Pascal and Jack had a fantastic bout a year and a half ago on SHOWTIME. Dari bel pembukaan, those guys proved they are great warriors and we expect nothing less in the rematch on June 6. The fans are truly in for a treat on that night.
“The energy between these four fighters today has been incredible. As the promoter of this event, Saya senang, so I can only imagine what the fans are in for. Hurd and Arias are both looking to make a statement, and that’s going to roll right into Pascal against Jack, who are going to pick up right where they left off in their first fight.”

Semoga orang terbaik menang," – Davis “We’ve never faced fighters like each other before. We’re going to see on June 26 if it’s the right move for him," – Lingkungan Four-Time World Champion Gervonta Davis Seeks Title In A Third Division Against Unbeaten Super Lightweight Champion Mario Barrios Headlining A SHOWTIME PPV® Hari Sabtu, Bulan Juni 26 In A Premier Boxing Champions Event From State Farm Arena In Atlanta Klik DISINI untuk Foto dari Esther Lin / SHOWTIME Klik DISINIfor Photos from Mayweather Promotions ATLANTA (Mei 20, 2021) – Four-time world championGervonta “Tank” Davis and undefeated WBA Super Lightweight ChampionMario “El Azteca” Barrios went face-to-face Thursday at a press conference to preview their SHOWTIME PPV main event taking place Saturday, Bulan Juni 26 at the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
One of boxing’s biggest stars at just 26-years-old, Davis will take on a career-defining challenge in the undefeated Barrios, as he sets his sights on capturing a title in a third weight class. With a victory, Davis will hold world championships in three different divisions simultaneously, a feat only accomplished by a few fighters in history. Standing in his way is the undefeated 26-year-old Barrios, who owns a 9-0 record with eight knockouts during his 140-pound reign and holds a six-inch height advantage over Davis.
Davis returns to fight at State Farm Arena after selling out the venue in December 2019 during a star-studded event that saw him stop former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa in the 12thand final round to capture a lightweight title.
Tickets for the live event at State Farm Arena, yang dipromosikan oleh Mayweather Promotions, GTD Promosi dan TGB Promosi, go on sale tomorrow, Hari Jumat, Mei 21 di 10 a.m. DAN, dan dapat dibeli di ticketmaster.com.
Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday at State Farm Arena:
GERVONTA DAVIS
“Camp has been great for me. We know that Barrios is a bigger guy and that he can punch. We’re working hard each day in the gym, because we’re going up against a big task on June 26.
“We all have challenges we go through in life, and that’s what makes us strong. This is another challenge that I have on my road to success. I’m ready to walk through it and keep pushing.
“We know this is a dangerous fight. Barrios is coming with power and you know for sure I’m coming with power. Semoga orang terbaik menang.
“I took this fight because I want to be great. All the other big names at lightweight had scheduled fights so I felt like I wanted to go out and beat the best fighter out there for me.
“Even if he is bigger than me on fight night, tidak masalah. This is all part of the sport. My goal is to break him down. If I can get him out of there, I’ll get him out of there. If it goes 12 putaran, jadi itu. He’s big and strong, but he’s never faced anyone like me.
“We have to wait and see what happens on fight night. Different styles dictate what I need to show in the fight. We’ll see what he brings to the table, and then we’ll capitalize off of it.
“I’m not worried about losing any speed by adding weight. I’m going to be quick regardless. I think I’m going to be at my best at 140-pounds.
“Like all of the rest of my fights, this is going to be action packed. Don’t go get popcorn during the fight, because it could end at any moment. I bring what boxing needs, and that’s excitement. We all know when I fight, it’s never a boring fight. Dari putaran pertama, until whenever it ends, I just keep coming, in all of my fights. That’s what you’re going to see June 26.”
MARIO Barrios
“This is a huge opportunity for me. ‘Tank’ called me out. I know he’s trying to do something great, but this is a dangerous fight for him. It’s going to be an action-packed fight. We’ve never faced fighters like each other before. We’re going to see on June 26 if it’s the right move for him.
“I fight to represent my city and my people. I’m going to go out there and do my best to make everybody proud.
“They might be looking at my fight against Batyr Akhmedov closely. But I think he has a totally different style and that this fight will be different than what they expect if they just watch that match. I don’t know what they see in me to want this fight, but none of it matters to me. All the questions are going to be answered on June 26.
“’Tank’ is jumping up two weight classes. He’s doing something a lot of great fighters have done. He even said it: this isn’t an easy fight for him. We’re ready to face the best version of ‘Tank’ that anyone has ever seen and it’s going to be war.
“I was surprised when his name was brought up to me. But whether you like ‘Tank’ or not, he has one of the biggest names in boxing. This is the type of fight that can skyrocket my name up there to the top level of the sport.
“’Tank’ is a good fighter and a very explosive fighter. There is the question of whether he’s bringing his power up to 140. I don’t have any concerns about it though. He’s the guy who has to show people he can handle my power at this weight.
“I’m excited to be fighting in Atlanta. This is my first time here actually but I know the fans here are very passionate. I’m expecting to see a great turnout here at State Farm Arena.”
LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO Mayweather Promotions
“’Tank’ is a generational fighter. He has certain abilities that others just don’t. He’s special, but this is a dangerous fight for him. This is a tremendous challenge and I’m really excited for this fight.
“Atlanta is a hot market. Obviously the first fight they had in a long time was ‘Tank’ vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa and it was a packed sold out crowd in this building. The fans really enjoyed it. The city needs big events like this. We told the fans we were coming back and here we are.
“’Tank’ is chasing history. When you look back at a lot of all-time greats, they’ve gone through things no one else ever has. Looking to be a three-division champion at 26 years old is another example of him chasing greatness like that.
“’Tank’ is the most exciting fighter in the entire sport and he gives the fans what they want to see. He puts butts in seats. People gravitate to the way he fights. This new generation of fans that we have, they love him.”

One of boxing’s biggest stars at just 26-years-old, Davis moves up to 140-pounds for the first time in his career as he aims to add super lightweight champion to his stellar resume. Davis has already captured titles at 130 and 135-pounds. With a victory, Davis will hold world championships in three different divisions simultaneously, a feat only accomplished by a few fighters in history, including Henry Armstrong and Canelo Alvarez. Standing in his way is the undefeated 25-year-old Barrios, who owns a 9-0 record with eight knockouts during his 140-pound reign while holding a six-inch height advantage over Davis.
“Gervonta Davis is looking to become a three-division world champion, and has a big undertaking in front of him in challenging Barrios for his WBA title at 140-pounds,” said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO Mayweather Promotions. “Barrios is a warrior, and this is going to be Davis’ toughest fight to date. Atlanta, be ready for a show on June 26!"
Davis (24-0, 23 Biaya) delivered a highlight-reel knockout in his last fight, producing another sensational and memorable performance that has made him a popular draw throughout the country.

Dipromosikan oleh Mayweather Promotions, Davis will make his second headline appearance on pay-per-view as he has asserted himself as a must-see headline attraction in his first pay-per-view
Davis first burst onto the scene with an explosive knockout victory over Jose Pedraza to win the IBF Junior Lightweight World Title in a star-making performance on SHOWTIME® pada bulan Januari 2017. Pada saat itu, he became the youngest world champion in boxing at age 22. The Baltimore-native also owns knockout performances in world title fights over Jesus Cuellar in 2018 and Yuriorkis Gamboa in 2019. Itu 2019 triumph over Gamboa came at a sold out State Farm Arena, during a year that also saw him fill venues in his hometown of Baltimore and Southern California.
“I’m excited to make history on June 26 in Atlanta and become a three-division world champion,"Kata Davis. “Atlanta welcomed me with open arms for my fight against Gamboa and I couldn’t wait to come back and headline a spectacular SHOWTIME PPV card. Mario Barrios is an undefeated champion, but he hasn’t ever faced anyone like me before. Moving up to 140-pounds is a big challenge but I’ve been working hard in camp and I’ll be ready. Thank you to my whole team for making this historic boxing event possible. Make sure you get your tickets early because this fight is definitely selling out! Keep supporting me and I’ll fight for you!"
Lingkungan (26-0, 17 Biaya) captured his 140-pound championship in September 2019, scoring two knockdowns and fighting through a cut to win a unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Batyr Akhmedov. The San Antonio-native trains in Oakland, California., under the guidance of renowned coach Virgil Hunter. Dalam outing terbaru nya, Barrios knocked out Ryan Karl in the sixth-round of their clash on the pay-per-view undercard of Davis vs. Santa Cruz.
Standing nearly six-feet tall, Barrios debuted as a pro at super bantamweight in 2013 and had success moving up the rankings in the super featherweight division. His first 140-pound bout came in 2017 and saw him increase his power from his previous performances. At super lightweight, Barrios has scored knockouts in every fight except the title-winning performance against Akhmedov, where his power was still on display with a pair of knockdowns.
“Fighting on SHOWTIME PPV is a dream come true and an opportunity that I’m going to take full advantage of,” said Barrios. “Gervonta Davis is a pound-for-pound champion and it’s going to be an honor sharing the ring with him. This fight is my shining moment and the pinnacle of the boxing world, on the biggest stage possible. Boxing fans around the globe will be watching this fight and I’m coming to shock the world. To all my Mexican fans, I’m going to bring this historic victory home for La Raza.”
The 25-year-old Lubin (23-1, 16 Biaya) has put together an impressive five-bout winning streak since a loss to unified 154-pound champion Jermell Charlo in 2017. Dalam outing terbaru nya, he defeated U.S. Olympian Terrell Gausha by unanimous decision in September of last year. Prior to the victory over Gausha, he became the first person to stop former champion Ishe Smith, in addition to a dominating victory over Nathaniel Gallimore in October 2019. A native of Orlando, Fla., Lubin is trained by acclaimed coach Kevin Cunningham as he continues his quest toward another title opportunity. Setelah karir amatir yang luar biasa, Lubin turned pro at 18 years old in 2013, eventually being named “Prospect Of The Year” by ESPN and Ring Magazine in 2016.
“I’m so ready for this fight and we’ve been working hard in preparation for Rosario,” said Lubin. “This fight is another step closer to getting that world title shot. Coach Cunningham and I have a great game plan in place. We know this is going to be a tough fight and the fans are going to see a much-improved version of myself. I’ve taken my training to the next level during this training camp. Rosario is a former world champion who I know is going to bring his best, which is going to make for a great night of boxing. This card is stacked, but I’m going to steal the show with an incredible performance. I will not be denied, I’m coming out on top. It’s Hammer Time!"
Rosario (20-2-1, 14 Biaya) will look to climb back into world title contention after losing his 154-pound belts to Jermell Charlo in their September 2020 bentrokan. The 26-year-old captured the WBA and IBF belts by stopping Julian Williams in one of 2020’s biggest upsets. Born in the Dominican Republic and now fighting out of Miami, Rosario rode an eight-fight unbeaten streak into the showdown with Williams, including victories over 154-pound contenders Jamontay Clark, Justin DeLoach, Jorge Cota and Marcos Hernandez. Coming into the Charlo matchup, Rosario had established his power by earning a stoppage victory or scoring a knockdown in seven of his previous nine contests.
“I make no excuses for losing the fight to Charlo, but that was then, and this is now,” said Rosario. “I have turned to a new page in my career with my new trainer Herman Caicedo. I will not lose again, especially in this fight against Lubin. He’s a great contender, and I respect his abilities, but I will knock him out on June 26.”
Philadelphia’s Williams (27-2-1, 16 Biaya) became a unified world champion at 154-pounds in May 2019 when he upset Jarrett Hurd in one of the year’s best fights, winning a close-quarters brawl by unanimous decision. The 31-year-old dropped the titles in his first defense, losing to Jeison Rosario in January 2020. Williams had been riding a five-fight winning streak going into the Rosario matchup, in which he added victories over former champion Ishe Smith and hard-hitting contender Nathaniel Gallimore to his ledger.
“This has been the longest layoff of my career, so I’m excited to get back in the ring,"Kata Williams. “Mendoza is a decent fighter. I’ve even been in the gym with him and he’s a good guy. But on June 26, it’s going to be all business. I just need to come out on top. He doesn’t have anything that I haven’t seen before. I know he’ll be ready because this is like the Super Bowl for him. So I know he’ll be ready, but I’ll be ready too. If I’m able to get the win, then it’s on to bigger and better opportunities. But I’m definitely not looking past Brian because I know how seriously he’s taking this fight.”
Mendoza (19-1, 13 Biaya) earned a career best-victory in his last outing, beating veteran contender Thomas LaManna by unanimous decision in August 2020. The 27-year-old has fought professionally since 2014, with his only defeat coming by a narrow split-decision in November 2019 against Larry Gomez. Mendoza was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he won two New Mexico Golden Gloves Championships as an amateur, and currently fights out of Las Vegas.
“This fight against Julian Williams is just the fight I’ve been waiting for,” said Mendoza. “I’m planning to take full advantage of the opportunity. Julian Williams is a great fighter, but after June 26, the whole world is going to know that I belong at this level.”
Born in Uzbekistan and now fighting out of Los Angeles, Akhmedov (8-1, 7 Biaya) represented Turkey at the 2016 Permainan Olimpik. The 30-year-old turned pro in 2017 and won his first seven pro fights, with six coming by knockout. His lone blemish came in an action-packed title fight against Mario Barrios in September 2019, where he was able to survive two knockdowns to make it a close fight, before eventually losing by decision. Baru-baru ini, Akhmedov blasted out Ray Perez in the first round of their September 2020 bentrokan.
“I can’t wait to get back in the ring for a big fight on June 26,” said Akhmedov. “I’ve been training hard to get another shot at the title. I know that if I make a big statement and defeat a former world champion in Mendez, I expect my next fight will be for the title.
