Terrell GAUSHA: “WE’RE GOING TO GIVE TIM TSZYU A DIFFERENT LOOK THAN HE’S EVER SEEN BEFORE”

Super Welterweight Contender Gausha Faces Unbeaten Rising Star Tim Tszyu in SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®

Main Event Saturday, Наурыз 26 from The Armory in Minneapolis

LOS ANGELES – March 17, 2022 - U.S. Olympian and super welterweight contenderTerrell Gaushais confident that he’ll be spoiling the stateside debut of unbeaten rising starTim Tszyuwhen they square off on Saturday, Наурыз 26 Showtime өмір сүру® headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event from The Armory in Minneapolis.

“We’ve been working on some different things for this fight,” said Gausha. “We’re going to give Tim Tszyu a different look than he’s seen before. Compared to most of the fights that everyone has seen, they’re going to see something new from me on March 26.”

Tszyu, the son of Hall of Fame fighter Kostya Tszyu, will be making his much-anticipated debut in the U.S. against Gausha, after dominating his first 20 fights in his native Australia. For the Cleveland native Gausha, his motivation comes from within and not from the hype surrounding Tszyu entering this matchup.

“I’m just motivated period,” said Gausha. “It’s got nothing to do with any hype around Tszyu. It has everything to do with where I’m at in my life and my career. Things are happening at the right time for me. I’m in a good place. This is the perfect fight for me at this point in my career.

“I appreciate him for taking this challenge. Most other fighters would try to protect their record. This shows that he believes in himself. He wants the tough fights. Бұл, делінген, I think he took the wrong fight.”

Gausha scored an impressive knockout over young contender Jamontay Clark in his last fight, stopping his opponent in round two in March 2021, and will look to build on that triumph against a bigger name in Tszyu.

“That was a good fight for me against Clark,” said Gausha. “I wanted to get right back in the ring, but sometimes it’s hard to make fights with certain guys. I have a great opportunity against Tszyu and I’m looking to capitalize and build off of my last performance. I’m going to make an even bigger splash in this fight.”

Training in Los Angeles with Manny Robles and Prenice Brewer, Gausha has received excellent sparring leading up to fight night, having shared the ring with 154-pound champion Brian Castaño, welterweight contender Vergil Ortiz and 2020 U.S. Olympian Delante Johnson. While Gausha expects Tszyu to display his typical come forward style, he plans to be ready for anything that his opponent presents.

“I expect Tim to try to bring pressure and come forward,” said Gausha. “He’s a one-trick pony. What you see is what you get. He doesn’t do too many things spectacularly, but what he does do well, he does it very well, and that’s bring the pressure. We have something ready for that and we’re going to do our thing no matter what he tries to do.”

Gausha previously challenged for the 154-pound world title in losing a 2017 decision against Erislandy Lara and also owns a decision defeat to Erickson Lubin and a draw against former champion Austin Trout. Қазір, Gausha will look to catapult himself right back into the title picture with a victory on March 26.

“After everyone sees this performance on March 26, they’re going to know where I fit into this division,” said Gausha. “I’ve got a job to do. Дәл қазір, I’m really just starting to show people my skills and what I can do. This is going to solidify that. I’m knocking on the door of a title fight right now. A win over Tszyu would be great for my career and get me to the world titles.”

ARLINGTON, T.X. – Наурыз 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 Yordenis Угаса squaring off in a welterweight title unification clash on Saturday, Сәуір 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 Gamboa in the 10-round co-main event.

The lineup also includes unbeaten Хосе Валенсуэла бұрынғы әлем чемпионы шайқасты Франциско «El Bandido» Варгас 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.

On-шараларға билет, 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,” said Tom Brown, TGB Науқандар Президенті. “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. Көбірек, 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 КО) 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,«Cruz деді. “I love the fans in Texas, they always give me tremendous support. Менің промоутер, Мэнни Пакьяо, 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.”

Gamboa (30-4, 18 КО) is a former unified featherweight champion, holding the IBF and WBA 126-pound titles between 2009 мен 2011. A native of Guantanamo, Куба, he now lives and trains in Miami, Флорида. He dropped a showdown against Terence Crawford in a 2014 Жыл шайқасы, 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 12ші-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 ешқандай айырмашылығы жоқ болады,” said Gamboa. “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 КО) 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, Мексика, 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 желтоқсан айында, 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. I can’t wait to get in the ring. 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, Варгас (27-3-2, 19 КО) 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. Таяуда, 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,” said Vargas. “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. Әдеттегідей, the fans can expect a tremendous fight from start to finish.”

Representing his native Ontario, Канада, Crowley (20-0, 9 КО) 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 following a 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. Unfortunately for him, 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 КО) 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,«Lopez деді. “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 – Ақпан 18, 2022 - Жеңіліссіз жұлдызы Chris “Primetime” Colbert held a media workout in his hometown of Brooklyn Friday, as he prepares to take on undefeated Dominican Olympian Гектор Гарсия in the SHOWTIME main event Saturday, Ақпан 26 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from The Chelsea inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

Colbert vs. 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.

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 opponent and more:

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, АҚПАН 26

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

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

LAS VEGAS (Ақпан 17, 2022) – Undefeated Dominican Olympian Héctor García will look to put himself one step closer to his championship dreams when he faces fellow unbeaten Chris “Primetime” Colbert in a 12-round WBA Super Featherweight World Title Eliminator headlining live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Ақпан 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, бірге 10 нокдауны. “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, when I was 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.”

LAS VEGAS (Ақпан 5, 2022) -Бірыңғай жартылай орта салмақтағы бұрынғы әлем чемпионыКит «Бір рет» Турманоралды.
 
Турман әлі де элиталық жартылай орта салмақ дәрежесінде екенін дәлелдеді, 12 раундтық бірауыздан шешімді жеңіл салмақтағы бұрынғы әлем чемпионын жеңуМарио «Эль Ацтека» Барриос FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View іс-шарасының негізгі іс-шарасында сенбі күні түнде Лас-Вегастағы Mandalay Bay Resort және казиносындағы Michelob ULTRA Arena-да.


«Бұл екі жарым жылдан кейін қайта оралған жекпе-жек болды,- деді Клируотер, Флоридадағы Турман. «Мен ең жақсы өнер көрсеткенімді қалаймын, бірақ мен бұл жағдайда қолымнан келгеннің бәрін жасадым. «Мен бұл өнімділікті C+ немесе B деп бағалаймын- өзім үшін».
 
Оның алғашқы жекпе-жегі аяқталды 30 ай, 33 жастағы Турман (30-1, 22 КО) оны 147 фунттық дивизияның шыңына шығарған атрибуттарды көрсетті. Турман күшті бастады және бақылауды ешқашан тастамады, кейде Барриосты ауыр соққылармен жазалайды.
 
Төңірегі (26-2, 17 КО) жартылай орта салмақтағы дебютінде оның сәттері болды, әсіресе сегізіншіде денеге сол жақ ілмек Турманды артқа тастаған кезде. Сан-Антониодан келген 26 жастағы жасөспірім, Техас та табандылық танытты, Турманның ауыр артиллериясына қарамастан ойынмен шайқасады.
 
“Бүгін түнде мен ішімдегі мексикалық жауынгерді көрсеттім. Мен қалпағымды Кит Турманға апарамын, ол да жауынгер. Біз жанкүйерлерге тамаша жекпе-жек өткіздік,- деді Барриос.


Дегенмен, бұл тынымсыз Турманның тамаша қойылымын жеңу үшін жеткіліксіз болды.
 
«Біз оны таң қалдырдық. Біз оны түсіріп, сыртқа шығара алмадық, бірақ біз тамаша өнер көрсеттік және керемет жекпе-жек өткіздік,», - деді Турман.
 
«Мен белбеулерді қалаймын. Мен чемпиондарды қалаймын. Мен шыңға қайта оралғым келеді, сондықтан келісім-шартты Кит Турманға кім жіберуге дайын болса, барайық!«
 
Аса жеңіл салмақтағы бірлескен негізгі жарыста, төрт дивизион бойынша әлем чемпионыЛео «Жер сілкінісі» Санта-Крус тағы бір винтаждық қойылым көрсетті, кең 10 раундтық бірауыздан шешімді жеңу үшін қиындықтарды жеңуКинан «Бедо» Карбахал.
 
«Мен жақсы айналымнан өттім. Егер мен оған кіріп, оны тез бітірсем, Мен өзіме қажетті тәжірибе алмас едім,», - деді 33 жастағы Санта-Крус. «Мен ұзақ жұмыстан кетуді аздап сезіндім, бірақ мен қолымнан келгеннің бәрін жасадым және жанкүйерлер оны жақсы көрді және мені қайтадан көргісі келеді деп үміттенемін ».


Santa Cruz (38-2-1, 19 КО) сол жақ көзінің астын және бір оң қабағын байқаусызда басынан соғудан жарақат алған.
 
Еріксіз, Акцияда «Эль Терремото» басым болды, Карбахалды ауыртады (23-3-1, 15 КО) бірнеше рет барлық үш кестеде әр раундта жеңіске жету жолында (100-90).
 
«Біз жаттығу залына қайтамыз, жақсырақ болыңыз және қателескенімізбен жұмыс істеңіз,- деді Санта Круз. «Біз өз атағымызды біріктіріп, қорғағымыз келеді. Біз барлық чемпиондарды қалаймыз 126 фунт «.

«Мен оны ақылды түрде бокстастырдым, мен шынымен нокаут іздеген жоқпын,— деді Рамос. «Ол қатал, төзімді жігіт. Мен оны айналдыра сындырдым, оған зиян тигізетін таза соққы, сондықтан мен тапсырманы орындадым.
 
Соңы алтыншыда тез аяқталды, бұл кезде Рамостың сол жаққа ығысуы Эрнандестің аяғын басқара алмай қалуына себеп болды.. Төреші Майк Ортега мейіріммен кіргенше Рамос оны басы мен денесіне ұрды..
 
«Біз түйіндемемізді жасағымыз келеді, Флойд Мейвезер сияқты,— деді Рамос. «Онда Гатти болды, Corrales, Кастильо және барлық жігіттер. Бұл сіз оны тартып ала алмайтын нәрсе және мен мұны істегім келеді. Мен өз беделімді алғым келеді. Мен инстаграмда жазылушыларым болу үшін келген жоқпын. Мен бокста мәлімдеме жасау үшін келдім ».

«Менің тәжірибем сөзсіз фактор болды,– деді Нери. «Менің қолымда әлем чемпионы үшін үш жекпе-жек бар және оған қарағанда қиынырақ қарсыластармен кездестім. Бұл түнде көрсетті ».
 
Оңтүстік Нери Кастроны діңгегіне отырғызған түзу солға жалғанған кезде әрекет бірінші рет қыза түсті.. Феникс, Аризона тумасы кадрдан көтеріліп, аман қалды.
 
Айқас ортаңғы раундтарда шахмат матчына айналды, өйткені екеуі де Кастро (27-1, 12 КО) және Мексиканың Нери (32-1, 24 КО) сәттері болды. Соңында, Неридің қорғанысы мен дәлдігі ол жеңіске жеткен кезде ерекшеленді 96-93 мен 95-94 екі картада, Ал үшінші төреші оны Кастроға бағалады, 95-94.
 
«Мен барлығына тек шөп шабушылар емес екенімді көрсеткім келді,– деді Нери. «Егер мен төбелесіп, тактикалық болғым келсе, Мен де солай істей аламын.
 
«Мен оны нокаутқа түсіретінімді білдім, бірақ мен де бокс жасай алатынымды дәлелдеп жеңгім келді. Мен қарсы жұдырықтасатын және өзім қалағандай шабуыл жасайтын едім».

WBC Featherweight World Champion Russell To Defend Title Against Top Contender Magsayo Live On SHOWTIME®

From Borgata in Atlantic City, N.J.

Russell, who owns the longest reign of any current male champion and has held his 126-pound belt since 2015, will look to make his sixth consecutive successful title defense on January 22, when he takes on the Filipino power-puncher Magsayo, who is trained by Freddie Roach and comes in off of a Knockout of the Year contender over former champion Julio Ceja last August.

Мұнда балуандар Сейсенбі айтуға тура келді қандай:

GARY RUSSELL JR.

“I use everything going on with me outside of the ring as fuel. It’s been very difficult dealing with the passing of my brother and my dad’s health issues. I tell people all the time that life is like boxing. You have to keep your chin down and hands up. I’m grateful that I’m mentally strong when it comes to stuff like this. This is what champions do, we overcome adversity.

“I’ve been willing to compete against whoever, whenever and wherever. But I can’t force these guys to get in the ring and fight me. I just have to prepare to the best of my ability. I need a dance partner.

“I see him as a good even-handed puncher, maybe he leans a little more to the right hand. He has good punching power, but none of that matters if you can’t hit your target.

“We’re grinding in training camp. Қарамастан, қандай, we’re not going to make any excuses or complaints.

“If I’m going to move up in weight, I want to fight the champion. I’m not planning to move up in weight just to stand in line. I’m fighting Magsayo because he moved up the rankings and earned this spot. Everyone who I’ve competed against has been the next best guy under the champion.

“I don’t have any concerns with Magsayo’s power. You very seldom see me have to come back on the scorecards. Magsayo had to come back in his last fight because he was losing on the cards. That shows some holes in his armor.

“I never overlook anybody. Of course I want the Gervonta Davis fight. But I’m focused on Magsayo. He’s the one who worked his way into this position to fight me. Davis is in no rush, so I’m going to remain focused on a true warrior who’s getting into the ring with me.

“I stay in the gym. Boxing is not just what I do, it’s a lifestyle for me. Even when I’m over and done with my career, I’m still going to be in the gym. I never really blow up and get big in weight. I love what I do and I’m very militant in my mindset.

“No one can really prepare for me. You can’t prepare like you think you can. I know Magsayo will be at his physical and mental best. Мен оған менің шляпалар қабылдауға, because he’s willing to put it on the line to prove he’s the best. I wish other fighters would take that same risk.

“A lot of these other guys aren’t willing to step in there with me because of the skillset that I bring. Соңында, we have another fighter with some heart who’s willing to fight. I want him to bring his best, so we’ll see whose best is best.”

MARK MAGSAYO

“I’m very thankful to my whole team for making this fight happen. I’ve been training for three and a half months now, so I’m going to be well prepared for this fight.

“I don’t think Gary has faced anyone since he became champion that has the skills that I have. I’m going to go in there to show him something he’s never seen before and we’ll see how he reacts.
“I learned a lot from the Ceja fight. That gave me a lesson on how to adjust in the middle of a fight. It’s going to help me against Russell.

“I respect Gary Russell Jr., he’s a great champion, but I’m winning this fight on January 22. I want to prove to the people everywhere that I’m the best featherweight in the world.

“I’m going to show the world that I’m the best at this weight. This is the fight that I’ve wanted for a long time. I’ve been waiting patiently for my chance and I’m ready to do my best.

“I’ve had great sparring partners to prepare me for Russell and give me the same looks that he’ll give me on fight night. This is my first world title fight and I’m going to give it my all.

“I’m not trying to be the next Manny Pacquiao, but I’m trying to put my own mark on the history of this sport and for all Filipinos. I’m hungry to prove it all in the ring.

“I’m going to be the stronger fighter against Russell. We trained every day with Freddie Roach and we’ve worked on a lot of different techniques we’ll use in this fight.

“I know he’s going to bring his talent into the ring, but I’m going to show everybody that I can deliver a great fight and become champion.”
