“These three matchups deliver everything boxing fans could hope for in a pay-per-view undercard and are worthy of the historic main event clash they will lead up to,- каза Том Браун, Председател на TGB Промоции. “Each fighter stepping into the ring has an opportunity to catapult themselves to the top of their respective division with a win on September 30. Fans can expect to see all of these competitors give everything they have to emerge victorious on SHOWTIME PPV at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.”

A strong southpaw who at 22 has yet to come close to hitting his ceiling as a fighter, Ramos (20-0, 16 Нокаута) blitzed then-unbeaten Joey Spencer in March, dropping him in round one before stopping him in round seven to earn the TKO in his sensational 2023 debut on the undercard of David Benavidez vs. Caleb Plant on SHOWTIME PPV. A native of Casa Grande, Аризона., Ramos also owns back-to-back 10-round unanimous decisions over Brian Mendoza and Javier Molina in 2021, which he followed up by defeating Luke Santamaria and Vladimir Hernandez in 2022. Общо, the youthful Ramos has gained recognition with highlight-reel KOs, stopping seven of his last 10 опоненти, showcasing his skills and ability to end his fights early.

I’m excited to be part of this huge card against a tough opponent on September 30,” said Ramos. “I know Lubin is training hard and coming to win, which will make for an entertaining fight. This whole card is stacked and we don’t want to disappoint, so the fans are in for a great night of boxing.

The 27-year-old Lubin (25-2, 18 Нокаута) returned to the ring in June to deliver an impressive fifth-round stoppage of veteran Luis Arias, who had never been stopped previously. Lubin’s previous outing saw him go toe-to-toe in one of 2022’s best fights, as he traded knockdowns with fellow contender Sebastian Fundora on SHOWTIME in April 2022. Heading into the Fundora fight, Lubin had put together an impressive six-bout winning streak since a loss to then unified and now undisputed 154-pound champion Jermell Charlo in 2017, a run that included triumphs over Jeison Rosario, Terrell Gausha and Ishe Smith. A native of Orlando, Fla., Lubin turned pro at 18 years old in 2013 and became one of the youngest prospects to ever appear on the developmental seriesSHOBOX: Новото поколение®,earning “Prospect Of The Year” honors from ESPN and Ring Magazine in 2016.

“I know the world will be watching on September 30 and I plan on winning in a big way,” said Lubin. “We’ve got a young and talented fighter in front of us, but I’m young and talented as well. The difference is that I’ve fought the cream of the crop of the 154-pound division. Doesn’t matter if it’s Olympians, top prospects, contenders or champions, I’ve taken them on. I have a big chip on my shoulder and I know that with this win, I’ll be in a mega fight. I’m training extremely hard and the whole world will see it pay off.”

Угаш (27-5, 12 Нокаута) will step back into action on September 30 for the first time since an April 2022 unification bout defeat to Errol Spence Jr. на SHOWTIME PPV. He established himself as an elite welterweight after returning from a more than two-year layoff in 2016 following back-to-back losses in 2014. He punched his ticket as a world champion in January 2021 after winning a WBA belt by defeating Abel Ramos in September 2020. He solidified his world-championship status in August 2021, when he stepped in for an injured Spence to defeat legendary future Hall of Famer Manny Pacquiao by unanimous decision. Hailing from Santiago, Cuba and now living in Miami, Флорида, the Olympic bronze medalist trains in Las Vegas with renowned coach Ismael Salas and owns victories over then undefeated fighters Jamal James, Omar Figueroa Jr. and Bryant Perrella, plus veteran contenders Thomas Dulorme and Ray Robinson.

“Both me and Mario Barrios have a lot to gain with a victory on September 30, so I know that this fight is going to be one to remember,” said Ugas. “I have tremendous respect for Barrios. He’s a true warrior who’s been in the ring with the best of them, but I have confidence that I’ll be victorious. I have a lot of fight left in me and my best skills will be on display in this fight. Patria y Vida, I fight for my people.”

The 28-year-old Barrios (27-2, 18 Нокаута) most recently scored a sensational knockout of Jovanie Santiago in February stopping Santiago in the eighth-round. Barrios’ previous fight was his welterweight debut as he dropped a hard-fought decision to former unified champion Keith Thurman in February 2022. The San Antonio-product, who now trains with top coach Bob Santos in Las Vegas, became a 140-pound world champion in September 2019, using his aggressive style to edge out Batyr Akhmedov and earn a unanimous decision. Barrios lost the super lightweight title in another action packed, highly competitive bout, as he was defeated by three-division and five-time world champion Gervonta Davis in June 2021.

“This fight is going to be a war, because we both fight with a lot of heart and neither of us ever backs down,", Каза Бариос. “I can’t wait to compete in a matchup like this on one of the biggest cards of the year. This is going to be a great night of boxing from start to finish and the Mexican fans can expect to see an explosive performance from ‘El Azteca’!"

Борба от Финикс, Arizona, Garcia (15-0, 12 Нокаута) is one of 2023’s biggest breakout stars He burst onto the scene in March by blasting out the previously unbeaten Amilcar Vidal in the fourth-round to announce his presence at 160-pounds. The 20-year-old followed up that performance by dominating veteran Kevin Salgado on his way to a unanimous decision in April on the SHOWTIME PPV undercard of Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia. The precocious Garcia has moved fast since turning pro in 2020 and has knocked out six of his last eight opponents.

“This is my second fight this year on a huge pay-per-view card and I’m super excited and even more prepared than the first time,” said Garcia. “Reséndiz is a hungry fighter just like myself, so I have no doubt that we are going to put on a hell of a show for all the fans watching.”

The 24-year-old Reséndiz(14-1, 10 Нокаута) earned a career-best victory in his last outing as he stopped former unified champion Jarrett Hurd in the 10тата and final round of their March showdown on SHOWTIME. Reséndiz led on all three cards when the bout was stopped due to a severe laceration on Hurd’s lip. A native of Nayarit, Мексико, he now fights out of Los Angeles and will look to make it three-straight wins since a close decision loss to Marcos Hernandez in September 2021. Reséndiz turned pro in February 2018 and made a successful U.S. debut in April 2021 with a decision victory over Quilisto Madera.

“I’m very happy to have this great opportunity to compete on such an important fight card,” said Reséndiz. “I’m excited to realize my dream of fighting in Las Vegas, just like my boxing idols that I watched on TV. I’ve had an amazing training camp that will help me look my best on September 30 and put on a performance worthy of the boxing legends who inspire me.”

MINNEAPOLIS – February 26, 2023 -Power-punchingSubriel Matiasshowed why he’s become one of boxing’s most vaunted knockout artists as he stopped the previously unbeatenJeremias Ponceafter five rounds to win the vacant IBF 140-pound World Championship Saturday night live on SHOWTIME from The Armory in Minneapolis headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Puerto Rico’s Matias (19-1, 19 Нокаута) captured the title in an electric firefight that saw the two top-ranked 140-pounders throw over 800 combined punches in five rounds according to CompuBox. For Matias, the victory culminated a long journey that had him away from his family for nearly a year as he trained in Mexico for his first title opportunity.

“I’m on cloud nine right now,” said Matias. “I don’t think I’ve woken up from this dream. Maybe I can tell you how it feels tomorrow, но точно сега, it’s a dream come true. I wanted to work him from the first round on, because I knew he wouldn’t have the same power as me as the fight went on.”

Ponce (30-1, 20 Нокаута) came out extremely aggressive and looked to swarm Matias early as he threw 96 punches in round one, out landing Matias 28 към 11. Matias adjusted in round two, closing the distance and smothering Ponce to dull some of his attack while also finding spots for his own short power punches.

I thought it was an even fight, but one punch can change everything and that’s what happened,” said Ponce. “Subriel is a tough, strong fighter and I knew what he was capable of.”

After landing a powerful left hand that hurt Ponce late in round four, Matias returned determined and sharp in round five, приземяване 47% of his power punches over the three minutes. In the waning moments of the round, Matiaslanded the decisive blows, a series of head and body shots that badly hurt Matias and put him on the mat.

Ponce was able to make it to his stool, but his corner had seen enough and suggested that the fight be stopped, with the official result coming as a TKO at the end of round five.

“I’m fine now,” said Ponce. “My team knows me, and they made the decision that they had to make. It hurts, but the most important thing is that I’m healthy.”

“I wasn’t really surprised,” said Matias. “Once I saw how his corner reacted. I saw that [Ponce] was hurt. I thought that I was patient in the first four rounds, so I came out with a different approach and mindset in the fifth.”

След борбата, with his IBF belt in tow, Matias set his sights on a unification showdown against WBC 140-pound World Champion Regis Prograis.

“Regis Prograis, I’m coming for you,” said Matias. “I’m the world champion now. I promise that I’m coming to hurt you. Prograis likes to talk the talk, but I have that same mentality. Let’s see who prevails. I want him to see that there are people crazier than him in this sport.”

В съвместно основното събитие, Minneapolis-native and welterweight contenderJamal “Shango” James(28-2, 12 Нокаута) returned from a 16-month layoff to thrill a sold-out hometown crowd and earn a unanimous decision victory after 10-rounds against Argentine OlympianAlberto Palmetta(18-2, 13 Нокаута).

“I’m pretty sure everybody can see that layoff affected me,” said James. “I had a lot of rust in me. My legs weren’t sharp, my punches weren’t sharp, but I’m glad I was able to get in there. I liked that because it’s pushing me mentally and it made me step up to the occasion.”

“I thought it was an even fight,” said Palmetta. “I was the aggressor throughout against a former world champion, a taller opponent with longer reach than me.”

In his first action since losing his WBA Welterweight Title to Radzhab Butaev in October 2021, James picked up his fifth career victory at the friendly confines of The Armory. Using his considerable height and reach advantage, James was able to control much of the action and contest the bout on his terms.

“I was trying to adapt,” said James. “I definitely felt like I won the fight but I believe I could’ve done much better. I know that I’m a lot sharper. I know that my endurance is a lot stronger. I just had a lot of time off and my body is still getting back in shape. I’ll be back for sure.”

“I also like to counter, but I ratcheted up the pressure in the second half of the fight,” said Palmetta. “Maybe it looked like Jamal James was superior in the first half because he kept being conservative and countering.”

Palmetta had success countering James but was unable to put together enough combinations or hurt James during the action. James’ edge was reflected on the scorecards, as he out landed Palmetta 193 към 111, включително 153 към 102 edge in power punches.

James was also able to use a sharp body attack to keep Palmetta at bay, приземяване 68 throughout the fight, в сравнение с едва 20 from Palmetta. In round nine, a sharp right uppercut caused Palmetta to stumble and let to a raucous exchange that stirred James’ hometown fans.

The crowd again rose to their feet as James and Palmetta whipped power punches throughout the final moments of round 10. James kept his perfect record at The Armory intact by wide scores of 99-91 и 98-92 два пъти.

“I know I can be a champion again because I was a champion before,” said James. “I have to stay focused. Stay in the gym and back and study this fight – actually, my last two fights – and step it up. Thanks to everybody in Minneapolis for coming and showing me love.”

В телевизията отварачка, super lightweight contenderElvis Rodriguez(14-1-1,12 Нокаута) overcame a slow start to earn a hard-fought majority decision over the hard-hittingJoseph Adorno(17-2-2, 14 Нокаута) след 10 кръга.

“Ring rust was definitely a factor,” said Rodriguez. “Maybe the struggle was more mental than physical in a way, but the important thing is that I overcame it.”

After a couple of rounds feeling each other out, Adorno was the first to have success, showing a varied attack with hooks to the body and head. He punctuated a strong fourth round with several counter hooks right before the closing bell.

In round five the action began to heat up, with Rodriguez starting to find a home for his offense as well, while still taking consistent return fire from Adorno. Rodriguez would eventually take control of the fight in the seventh roundlanding a perfect right hook that badly hurt Adorno. Rodriguez followed up quickly and forced Adorno to the canvas to score the knockdown, although Adorno was able to stay in the fight and make it through the round.

“I thought I had him once I landed that right hook, but he got up,” said Rodriguez. “He’s a warrior and a good fighter… The seventh round was huge, that’s when I truly started to win this fight. I have to give credit to Adorno for being savvy and knowing how to keep his distance before then.”

Rodriguez rode that momentum through the rest of the fight, out landing Adorno 52 към 33 across rounds seven through 10. The Freddie Roach-trained contender punctuated his victory in the final frame, landing a left that referee Jon Schorle ruled a knockdown, despite the objection from Adorno, who felt he was tripped during the exchange.

After the 10rounds Rodriguez emerged victorious on the judges’ cards, as one score of 94-94 was overruled by tallies of 95-93 и 97-91. Post-fight, Adorno expressed his belief that his early success was enough for him to earn a better result, while Rodriguez set his sights on the new 140-pound champion Matias.

I thought the judges were blind,” said Adorno. “I can’t get a win with these judges. I don’t know how you see the fight 97-91. I thought I won every round except the ones he dropped me. He never out worked me at all. I had the jab in his face and was snapping him to the body. He couldn’t do anything. No way he won seven rounds. I thought 94-94 was okay because of the two knockdowns.

“Like I said yesterday at the weigh-in, bring on the winner of the main event,” said Rodriguez. “And to my people in the Dominican Republic, just know that I’ll be back even bolder and even better next time.”

Prior to the telecast, the SHOWTIME BOXING COUNTDOWN show streamed live on theSHOWTIME SPORTS YouTube channel иSHOWTIME Boxing Facebook страница and was topped by a welterweight matchup that saw Minneapolis-nativeVe’Shawn Owens(14-3, 12 Нокаута) score a unanimous decision overKudratillo Abdukakhorov(18-2, 10 Нокаута) after 10-rounds.

Олимпиец Теръл Gausha ще се проведе събота, Март 26 на живо по SHOWTIME в събитие Premier Boxing Champions от The Armory в Минеаполис.

Синът на Залата на славата Костя, Цзю пристигна в САЩ миналата събота от родната си Австралия, за да завърши тренировъчен лагер в Лас Вегас, преди да се отправи към Минеаполис. След натрупване на a 20-0 Запис с 15 нокаута, Tszyu изглежда да се приближи една стъпка по-близо до битка за титлата с категорична победа през март 26.

Билети за събитието, която се насърчава от TGB Промоции, Бокс без лимит и Бокс на войни, са в продажба сега и могат да бъдат закупени от Armory на адрес HTTP://ArmoryMN.com/ и чрез Ticketmaster.

Ето какво Цзю и неговият треньор, Игор Голубев, трябваше да кажа в четвъртък от Left Right Boxing Gym в Лас Вегас:

ТИМ ЦЗЮ

„Направихме няколко лагера тук в Лас Вегас преди, така че сме запознати с терена тук. Не е твърде далеч да отидете до Минеаполис, но тук е много по-топло в Лас Вегас, затова се радвам, че дойдох тук пръв. Приспособяването към часовата разлика в началото беше трудно, но определено се възстанових. Докато пристигнах в Лас Вегас, ставаше дума само за изостряне на всичко.

„Идвам да се бия и идвам да спечеля. Не съм тук, за да "тип-тап". Ако това означава отиване към нокаут, Ще го направя веднага. Не съм тук, за да надиграя някого и да спечеля в резултатите. От първата секунда, когато започва битката, целта ми е да го измъкна. Всяка секунда от всеки кръг, Ще бъда пред лицето на опонента си.

„Това се правеше дълго време. Имам желание да направя своя дебют тук, откакто победих Джеф Хорн [Август 2020]. Хубаво е най-накрая да съм тук и съм много развълнуван да бъда на тази платформа. Това е истинска възможност за мен.

„Баща ми не ми е говорил много за това какво да очаквам да се бия в САЩ. Най-често той просто ми напомня да остана готов, което винаги съм. Аз съм професионалист и се боря без прекъсване. Не си почивам или меден месец като някои от тези други бойци.

„За мен е голяма работа да бъда в тази позиция като хедлайнер на SHOWTIME. Мечтаеш за това като малък, и сега това наистина се случва, това е нереално. Аз съм първият австралиец, който е имал САЩ. дебютира като хедлайнер, все още дори не е спечелил световна титла. Това показва, че това, което направихме досега, е доста добро за момента. Ние сме тук, за да правим изявления.

„Това ще бъде интересна битка. Много ми е интересно да видя какво ще донесе. Гауша има инструментите да спечели. Той има страхотни умения и бързи ръце и голямо разнообразие от удари. Той прави простите неща много добре. Харесвам този тип стилове. Спарингирал съм такива момчета в САЩ. и това е забавен стил за борба.

„Не изглеждам особено голям или силен, но когато се кача на ринга, Издавам тази доминация, която казва „това е моят пръстен“.. Това правя и вие идвате на моята сцена. Веднага представям тази доминация и уведомявам всички.

Цзю за Jermell Charlo vs. Реваншът за титлата на Брайън Кастано до 154 паунда ще се проведе през май 14 в SHOWTIME”

„Чарло е предпазлив боец ​​с власт в двете си ръце. Той заклати Кастаньо няколко пъти. Чарло чака да нанесе този перфектен удар и затова резултатът на Кастано не беше твърде висок в тази битка. Мислех, че Castaño се би страхотно и го разработих. Шарло понякога не знаеше какво да прави. Мисля, че или Кастаньо ще бъде със съдийско решение, или Шарло с нокаут в реванша.

„Идвам за всички в дивизията. Идвам за коланите. Трябва да имате доверие в себе си. Вярвам, че ще победя или Шарло, или Кастаньо. Нямаше да съм в спорта, ако не вярвах в това. Бих завел тези момчета на места, на които никога не са били и това е всичко, което има значение за мен.”

ИГОР ГОЛУБЕВ, Треньорът на Цзю

„Тим ще направи корекции, както винаги прави, въз основа на това, което Гауша носи в първия кръг. Тим е абсолютен борец под напрежение. Той ще бъде точно на върха на Гауша от самото начало. Няма да има почивка и няма къде да отиде. Това ще се бори отвътре.

„Гауша е хитър боец. Той има добър стил от аматьорския си опит и също така има силни крака и горна част на тялото. Гледахме негови кадри и знаем, че може да удря, че ще се движи и че хвърля много удари. Той е много добър боец ​​във всичко.”

Теръл GAUSHA: „ЩЕ ПРИДАДЕМЕ НА ТИМ ЦЗЮ РАЗЛИЧЕН ВИД, ОТ КОЙТО Е ВИЖАЛ ДОСЕГА“

Претендентът в полусредна категория Gausha се изправя срещу непобедената изгряваща звезда Tim Tszyu в SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®

Основно събитие събота, Март 26 от арсенала в Минеаполис

ЛОС АНДЖЕЛИС – март 17, 2022 - U.S. Състезател на Олимпийски игри и суперполусредна категорияТеръл Gaushaе уверен, че ще развали дебюта в САЩ на непобедената изгряваща звездаТим Цзюкогато се изправят в събота, Март 26 живеят на SHOWTIME® хедлайнер на събитие Premier Boxing Champions от The Armory в Минеаполис.

„Работим върху някои различни неща за тази битка,каза Гауша. „Ще дадем на Тим Цзю различен вид от този, който е виждал преди. В сравнение с повечето битки, които всички са виждали, те ще видят нещо ново от мен на 26 март.

Цзю, синът на боеца от Залата на славата Костя Цзю, ще направи своя дългоочакван дебют в САЩ. срещу Гауша, след като доминира в първия си 20 се бие в родната си Австралия. За родения в Кливланд Гауша, мотивацията му идва отвътре, а не от шума около влизането на Tszyu в този мач.

„Просто съм мотивиран период,каза Гауша. „Това няма нищо общо с шума около Цзю. Има всичко общо с това къде се намирам в живота и кариерата си. Нещата се случват в точното време за мен. На добро място съм. Това е перфектната битка за мен в този момент от моята кариера.

„Оценявам го, че прие това предизвикателство. Повечето други бойци биха се опитали да защитят рекорда си. Това показва, че той вярва в себе си. Той иска тежки битки. Това се каза, Мисля, че той взе грешна битка.”

Gausha отбеляза впечатляващ нокаут над младия съперник Jamontay Clark в последната си битка, спирайки опонента си във втори рунд през март 2021, и ще се опита да надгради този триумф срещу по-голямо име в Tszyu.

„Това беше добра битка за мен срещу Кларк,каза Гауша. „Исках веднага да се върна на ринга, но понякога е трудно да се караш с определени момчета. Имам страхотна възможност срещу Tszyu и гледам да оползотворя и надградя последното си представяне. Ще направя още по-голям фурор в тази битка.”

Обучение в Лос Анджелис с Manny Robles и Prenice Brewer, Gausha получи отличен спаринг, водещ до вечерта на битката, след като сподели ринга със 154-килограмовия шампион Браян Кастано, претендентът в полусредна категория Верджил Ортис и 2020 U.S. Olympian Ahead Johnson. Докато Gausha очаква Tszyu да покаже типичния си стил на излизане напред, той планира да бъде готов за всичко, което опонентът му представи.

„Очаквам Тим да се опита да окаже натиск и да излезе напред,каза Гауша. „Той е пони с един трик. Това, което виждате, е това, което получаваш. Той не прави твърде много неща грандиозно, но това, което прави, го прави добре, той го прави много добре, и това води до натиск. Имаме нещо готово за това и ще свършим работата си, независимо какво се опитва да направи той.

Преди това Gausha се бори за световната титла при категория 154 паунда, като загуби a 2017 съдийско решение срещу Erislandy Lara и също така притежава поражение със съдийско решение от Erickson Lubin и равенство срещу бившия шампион Austin Trout. Сега, Gausha ще се опита да се катапултира обратно в заглавната снимка с победа през март 26.

„След като всички видят това представление на март 26, те ще знаят къде се вписвам в това разделение,каза Гауша. „Имам работа за вършене. Точно сега, Наистина тепърва започвам да показвам на хората уменията си и какво мога. Това ще затвърди това. В момента чукам на вратата на битка за титлата. Победа над Цзю би била страхотна за моята кариера и би ме довела до световните титли.“

ARLINGTON, T.X. – Март 17, 2022 - Three sensational matchups have been added to the SHOWTIME PPV lineup headlined by WBC and IBF world champion Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. and WBA World Champion Йорденис Угаш squaring off in a welterweight title unification clash on Saturday, Април 16 live from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

The pay-per-view telecast begins at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and features exciting lightweight contender Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz taking on veteran former world champion Yuriorkis Гамбоа в 10-рундовото основно събитие.

The lineup also includes unbeaten Jose Valenzuela бой бившия световен шампион Francisco "El Bandido" Vargas in a 10-round lightweight fight, plus unbeaten Cody Crowley faces veteran contender Josesito Lopez in a 10-round duel of all-action welterweights that kicks off the telecast.

Билети за събитието на живо, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and Man Down Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at SeatGeek.com, the Official Ticketing Provider of AT&T Stadium.

“One of the year’s biggest events will feature a deserving pay-per-view undercard lineup loaded with consequential matchups that are primed to deliver drama and action,- каза Том Браун, Председател на TGB Промоции. “Isaac Cruz showed against Gervonta Davis that he is a star in the making, and he’ll be looking to display those talents once again against an accomplished opponent in Yuriorkis Gamboa. Още, another rising star in Jose Valenzuela will step up in competition against former champion Francisco Vargas, while Cody Crowley and Josesito Lopez will both bring their high-octane styles into the ring in what shapes up to be a ‘can’t-miss’ showdown to open the loaded SHOWTIME PPV.”

The 23-year-old Cruz (22-2-1, 15 Нокаута) will return to the ring after dropping a competitive decision against three-division champion Gervonta Davis on SHOWTIME PPV in December. A native of Mexico City, Cruz shot up the lightweight rankings in 2020, announcing his presence with an electrifying first-round knockout over veteran Diego Magdaleno in October. Cruz followed that up in 2021 by winning a unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Matías Romero in March and by defeating former champion Francisco Vargas by decision in June. After making his U.S. debut in December 2019, Cruz went unbeaten in his next four bouts, appearing on SHOWTIME® three times in addition to beating Magdaleno on the Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz SHOWTIME PPV undercard.

“I can’t wait to be back in the ring and to fight at AT&T Stadium,", Каза Крус. “I love the fans in Texas, they always give me tremendous support. My промотор, Мани Пакиао, has fought at AT&T Stadium before and won both times. I’m excited to follow in his footsteps against a very accomplished former champion in Gamboa. I’m coming to show the fans why I’m one of the best lightweights in the world and to drive Gamboa into retirement on April 16.”

Гамбоа (30-4, 18 Нокаута) is a former unified featherweight champion, holding the IBF and WBA 126-pound titles between 2009 и 2011. A native of Guantanamo, Куба, he now lives and trains in Miami, Fla. He dropped a showdown against Terence Crawford in a 2014 Fight на годината, before rebounding to win seven of eight fights. That run included victories over former world champions Jason Sosa and Roman Martinez, putting Gamboa back into world title contention. In his last two fights, Gamboa has dropped contests against current lightweight world champions, losing via 12тата-round TKO to Gervonta Davis in 2019 and by decision against Devin Haney in November 2020.

“I always come to the ring to display my talents and April 16 няма да се различава,- каза Гамбоа. “It’s very motivating to be facing a young, strong opponent like Isaac Cruz. I’m going to test him and see if he can stand up to my power. I’m coming to win and make a big statement that I still have what it takes to become champion again.”

The 22-year-old Valenzuela (11-0, 7 Нокаута) now trains as a stablemate of unbeaten two-time world champion David Benavidez as he seeks to move from prospect to contender in 2022. Born in Los Mochis, Синалоа, Мексико, Valenzuela turned pro in 2018 and rode a five-bout knockout streak before earning his first 10-round decision in a victory over Deiner Berrio in September 2021. Valenzuela capped off his breakout 2021 през декември, dominating Austin Dulay on his way to a TKO in round four.

“It’s a dream come true to be on a high-stakes, stacked card like this,” said Valenzuela. “I’ve admired and studied Spence for a long time, especially because we’re both lefties. Нямам търпение да вляза на ринга. I’m not overlooking or underestimating Francisco Vargas in any way. I’m expecting fireworks. You always get a big fight when two Mexican warriors go head-to-head, so I know the fans are going to be delighted with what they see on April 16.”

Fighting out of Mexico City, Vargas (27-3-2, 19 Нокаута) won a 130-pound title in 2015 by defeating Takashi Miura in one of the year’s best fights. The 37-year-old would go on to fight Orlando Salido to an action-packed draw before losing his title to Miguel Berchelt in another memorable affair. Vargas later defeated Stephen Smith and Rod Salka before losing in his rematch with Berchelt in 2019. Съвсем наскоро, Vargas began campaigning at lightweight, scoring back-to-back victories over Ezequiel Aviles in 2019 and Otto Gamez in 2020, prior to dropping a decision against Isaac Cruz in his last fight in June 2021.

“It is an honor to be on such a big card with so many great fighters,“, каза Варгас. “I’m going to come prepared for this fight and ready to leave the ring with a victory. I know Valenzuela will be trying to make a statement, but I’m coming to do the same. Както винаги, the fans can expect a tremendous fight from start to finish.”

Representing his native Ontario, Канада, Crowley (20-0, 9 Нокаута) returns to the ring after a sensational SHOWTIME debut in December 2021 that saw him beat the previously unbeaten Kudratillo Abdukakhorov by unanimous decision. Crowley had previously defeated Josh Torres in September 2020 след а 2019 run that saw him win a Canadian super welterweight title with a 12-round decision over Stuart McLellan in February before successfully defending that title with a dominant decision over Mian Hussain in October. The 28-year-old returned to fight in the U.S. for his last two fights after seven of his first eight pro fights took place in the U.S.

“After my win in December on SHOWTIME, I’m ready to accept the next challenge on my journey to becoming welterweight champion of the world,” said Crowley. “Josesito Lopez is always tough and he brings an exciting style to the table. За негово нещастие, he will discover what 20 fighters before him have learned, which is that I will not be stopped from achieving my destiny. I want to thank my team for this opportunity to display my skills, heart and relentlessness on this great card at the home of the Dallas Cowboys.”

Lopez (38-8, 21 Нокаута) earned the nickname “The Riverside Rocky’’ because of his go-for-broke style in the ring. He has stepped in across from some of the top boxers in the sport, including champions Canelo Alvarez, Marcos Maidana, Andre Berto and Victor Ortiz. The 37-year-old from Riverside, California is always a tough out in the ring as noted by his narrow majority decision loss to then-champion Keith Thurman in 2019. Since that loss, Lopez has put together back-to-back victories, defeating John Molina, Jr. and Francisco Santana.

“I’m eager and very motivated to step back in the ring and prove myself as one of the best fighters in the world,", Каза Лопес. “I expect a stiff challenge from Crowley and the fans can expect to see me at my very best. I’m in great shape and ready to put everything on the line. You will definitely want to make sure you don’t miss my fight on April 16.”

BROOKLYN – Февруари 18, 2022 - Непобедени изгряваща звезда Крис „Праймтайм“ Колбърт held a media workout in his hometown of Brooklyn Friday, as he prepares to take on undefeated Dominican Olympian Hector Garcia in the SHOWTIME main event Saturday, Февруари 26 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from The Chelsea inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

Колбърт срещу. Garcia tops a stacked SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® tripleheader beginning at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT as the undefeated fighters match up in a WBA Super Featherweight Title Eliminator.

Билети за събитието на живо, която се насърчава от TGB Промоции, се продават сега и могат да бъдат закупени чрез Ticketmaster.com.

The 25-year-old Colbert held the workout at the NYC Cops & Kids Boxing Club where he began his boxing journey, from his decorated days in the amateur ranks, to his burgeoning pro career. Here is what Colbert had to say about training camp, his February 26 противника и повече:

CHRIS COLBERT

“He’s going to learn firsthand how dangerous I am. I’m not worried about anything he brings to the ring. I love when people think that power is going to save them against me.

“I don’t have to live up to the ‘Primetime’ name, that’s just me. That’s who I am. People know who I am. I just have a job to do and I’m going to do it on February 26.

“I don’t really know anything about Garcia. I know he’s got two arms and two legs, and beyond that I expect him to bring his A-game, because he has to against me. There’s no way that I’m letting him come in as a late replacement and beat me.

“I spent most of training camp with Coach Aureliano Sosa and Herman Caicedo at Caicedo Sports down in Miami, but with the change of opponent I made the decision to come back to my gym in Brooklyn because we have three lefties in the gym up here.

“The only real difference for this camp is that I have a nutritionist now, so they’ve got me on a strict diet and I’m just more focused than ever. The other thing about this camp is that I was originally supposed to fight in mid-December, but then it got pushed back to now. So we went through two camps basically. It’s been about a 14-week camp in total.

“We went down to Miami mainly because of the weather, and because of our connection with Coach Herman. I hate the cold up north. And then they’ve also got a lot of quality sparring partners for me down in Miami and they gave me some good work to get me ready for this fight.

“I’m all about making adjustments. I’ve had opponent replacements happen before, and I know this is part of the business of boxing. I just have to roll with the punches, make lemonade out of these lemons and do what I do on February 26.

“I don’t fight for the belts. I fight for the money and my legacy. I still have a job to do next Saturday. I’m still getting paid. After I win, I get to fight again soon for the belt and get paid again for that fight.”

HÉCTOR GARCÍA TRAINING CAMP QUOTESUNDEFEATED DOMINICAN OLYMPIAN GARCÍA FACES UNBEATEN RISING STAR CHRIS COLBERT LIVE ON SHOWTIME® SATURDAY, Февруари 26

“I don’t consider Chris Colbert particularly dangerous.”

UNDEFEATED DOMINICAN OLYMPIAN HÉCTOR GARCÍA FACES UNBEATEN RISING STAR CHRIS COLBERT LIVE ON SHOWTIME® Събота, Февруари 26 IN PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS EVENT FROM THE COSMOPOLITAN OF LAS VEGAS

LAS VEGAS (Февруари 17, 2022) – Undefeated Dominican Olympian Héctor García will look to put himself one step closer to his championship dreams when he faces fellow unbeaten Крис „Праймтайм“ Колбърт in a 12-round WBA Super Featherweight World Title Eliminator headlining live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Февруари 26 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from The Chelsea inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

“I’m very thankful to my whole team for giving me this opportunity,” said García, who owns a record of 14-0, с 10 нокаута. “It’s time to show the world that there was a Dominican fighter hidden in the shadows and he’s ready to pounce on this chance."

García stepped in to face Colbert after WBA Super Featherweight Champion Roger Gutiérrez withdrew due to a positive COVID-19 test. Despite the sudden change, the 30-year-old is prepared for what the supremely-skilled Colbert brings to the ring.

“I don’t consider Chris Colbert particularly dangerous,” said García. “I’ve watched him fight before and I know that I do have to be agile, since he is very fast. I have been sparring with many training partners that have styles similar to his here in Las Vegas and that should help me adjust once we’re in the fight.”

Trained by renowned coach Ismael Salas in Las Vegas, García has sparred with champions and top contenders including Devin Haney and Rolando “Rolly” Romero. He enters this fight coming off the most impressive victory of his career, a unanimous decision triumph over Isaac Avelar in December 2021.

“I make sure I stay in shape even if I’m not training for a specific date or opponent,” said García. “I heard about this opportunity when I got back to Las Vegas from the Dominican Republic, and I just knew I had to grab the bull by the horns. I am making sure that I make the most of this by having the best possible preparation.”

The San Juan de la Maguana, Dominican Republic product knows this is his chance to go from underdog to world championship contender, and plans to show off his versatility and power in the biggest fight of his career to date.

“People will witness my potential on February 26,” said García. “They are also going to find out that I can brawl or be tactical from any kind of distance. If I had to define myself as a boxer in one word, that would be ‘versatile’. My power is a weapon because I can hurt you with anything and everything that I throw.”

García is an avid Boston Red Sox fan who used to play baseball and dream of hitting home runs at Fenway Park while admiring Dominican baseball legends such as Pedro Martínez, David Ortíz and Manny Ramírez. His family wanted him to study, but it was his stepbrother who turned him to boxing when García was a teenager.

“Baseball was my first love, but my older stepbrother Derlin Valdez used to box and he would encourage me to do the same,” said García. “He kept telling me to go to the gym and, когато бях 14, I decided to heed his advice and dedicate myself to boxing. I didn’t really want to at first, but I also didn’t have the resources I needed to be a true professional baseball prospect.”

García turned pro in December of 2016 after a runner-up finish at the 2015 Pan-Am Games in Toronto and qualifying for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

“I waited for the (2016) Olympics before turning pro,” said García. “My dream was to win a medal, and I didn’t get to because of an unfair loss during the preliminary rounds.”

Six years later, boxing is still a family matter in the García household. That is what drives him to succeed.

“My goal is to be a world champion, and I’m dedicated to showing my family that I am indeed able to be successful as an athlete,” said García. “They wanted me to study, study, study and study some more, but I’m showing them that I achieved my goal.”
