Shields has been training in Florida for the last week with her trainer John David Jackson, after spending the previous five weeks at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado. Here is what Shields had to say Thursday:
Claressa SHIELDS
“Christina doesn’t know what’s coming for her. I’m going to break that Hammer in half.
“When we’re in there, it’s about who punches harder. Bu real mübarizə. Just because she has height, doesn’t mean she’s going to dictate what happens. She’s going to have to do a lot to keep me off of her.
“I have two Olympic Gold Medals, three belts and more coming. I’ll have all the titles at the end of the night on April 13.
“I work hard, really hard. If I was a man, I would probably be one of the most famous boxers out there. There is a gender gap. We all know it. I’m working towards changing that. Biz çox çalışırıq, we get less money and less recognition, but the world is changing. We are changing it.
“Hammer has been talking smack but I’m not worried about her. I’m just ready for a fight. She talks about a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with boxing. I’m waiting for her to say she’s going to hit me with an uppercut or something, but it’s more of the same.
“Being here in Florida to finish up camp has really been ideal. I’ve still been working extremely hard, but here I have a little extra space and sunshine. It was time for some new scenery in camp and I think this was the perfect move to take me into fight week.
“I’ve been working on my ‘Ali shuffle,’ this gym inspired me. Don’t be surprised if you see me break it out during the fight. I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve. At the press conference there will be some surprises too — I have an outfit picked that is going to steal the show.”
“This fight is long overdue and I’m just glad I’m going to get my chance to show her what a real champion is. Someone is going down on April 13 and I promise it’s not going to be me.
“People can say they’re not paying attention to you and not studying you, but they’re lying. I’m glad she’s looking at me closely though. Hammer flew one of my friends out there to be a sparring partner, not even knowing that she hasn’t sparred me in years and knows nothing about me. It makes me know I’m on her mind. She can spar with Ann Wolfe and she still isn’t going to beat me.”

Aslan, (16-0, 8 Kos), who started boxing at the age of eight, has dreams of emulating his biggest boxing inspiration, Roberto Duran, by one day becoming a world champion.

The 24-year-old from Albuquerque, N.M. has sparred with elite boxers such as Leo Santa Cruz, Jessie Magdaleno, Nonito Donaire, and Tomoki Kameda and assures he is more than prepared to withstand Tabanao on April 5.

He’s fought a former world champion, Isaac Dogboe, and went the distance with him. Belə, he is a tough competitor for sure, but I think with my boxing and ring IQ, I can get the victory.”
Tabanao:“Angelo Leo is a good fighter. We need to use a good strategy to win this fight—and we have it. We trained very hard targeting his weaknesses. He’s in for a surprise this Friday.”
On what a win from this fight will do for their career:
Aslan:“A win over Neil Tabanao will probably set me up for another 10-round fight and after that I will hopefully be competing on a world title eliminator. I think in the next two or three fights I’ll get a world title shot.”
Tabanao: “I want to be recognized in the world of boxing. Leo is a step towards that goal. He doesn’t know what he’s in for.”
Təlim düşərgəsində:
Aslan:“I had a very good training camp. I have a very good team. Atam, is my head trainer, he is the one in charge. Luis Chavez is my other trainer. He lives in New Mexico trainer and comes down when I fight. Steve Cartledge and John Sinclair are helping me with my strength and conditioning. We started increasing the rounds in my sparring and we are trying to get the conditioning up as well. I have been training super hard for this fight. I feel that I’m in tip-top shape.”
Tabanao: “I had a good training camp. I trained with my coach Sonny Dollente at Mabuhay Boxing Camp at Dujali Davao del Norte in The Philippines. We worked hard on perfecting our strategy; we are ready to counter whatever Leo may do on Friday night.”
How does it feel to fight on national television?
Aslan:“It feels like a dream come true to fight on national television. I’ve been working so hard for this moment. Nəhayət, I get to show everybody who I am and what better way to do it than as the main event on TV. Bu fürsətdən tam istifadə edəcəyəm. Everyone will see what I’m all about.”
Tabanao:“It means a lot to me to be able to fight on national television. I hope this is the first of many televised fights. I want to become a renowned and successful boxer to be able help my family. I’m determined to do it.”

That victory set up a unification with WBC champion Mikey Garcia, in which Easter survived an early knockdown to push Garcia the full 12 rounds before coming up short on the scorecards.

“Enjoy this one, because it’s going to be a massacre. May 18 will be a beautiful day for me and a beautiful day to see what I’m planning to do for the sport of boxing.”
DOMINIC BREAZEALE
“I’m super excited for this. I’ve been waiting over a year and a half for a shot at this title. I’ve got three knockouts here at Barclays Center and I can’t wait for another.
“I’m a great fighter but there are always things to be learned. I’ve learned a lot already with Virgil Hunter. I bring something that everyone wants to see from heavyweights, and that’s trouble. I’m going to bring pressure and action.
“I’m sick of seeing this guy walking around with his belt. I’m going to put him down. People are going to be rising to their feet when I knock him down.
“I’m so excited to get this fight. I’ve been on Deontay’s undercards and I steal the show every time. Deontay does nothing right in the ring. He looks like a circus-act. All he does is talk. But there’s nothing he can say on May 18.
“Deontay loves to hear his own voice. All he does is talk and talk. It’s time to get in the ring. Nobody can get in there and save him. It’s just me and him. Leather on leather. We’ll see who lands first. Hopefully he gets off the canvas.”
VIRGIL HUNTER, Breazeale’s Trainer
“It’s a pleasure to be here at Barclays Center for a heavyweight championship fight. We have a monumental task to try to overcome. Dominic and I connected last month and after a few workouts, we saw we had a good fit and an understanding of what needs to be done.
“Dominic works hard, he’s very determined and he knows that this is his opportunity and he can’t let it slip away from him. He also knows the risk at hand. We’re looking forward to May 18.”
STEPHEN Espinoza, Prezident İdman & Hadisə Programming, Showtime Networks Inc.
“We are thrilled to be bringing you Deontay Wilder vs. Dominic Breazeale on SHOWTIME. It would be an understatement to say that there has been a lot of speculation regarding Deontay’s future. We’re proud to have him on SHOWTIME. It was critical for Deontay, for the sport and his fans, that this fight be available not on pay-per-view, but on SHOWTIME. Because of his insistence, that’s the primary reason we’re standing here today.
“SHOWTIME is where this fight belongs. We’re the home of the biggest fights and best talents, month in and month out. This is where a heavyweight title fight belongs. This will be Deontay’s 12ciappearance on SHOWTIME and or SHOWTIME PPV and we’ve built something special.
“Recently ESPN named its World Fame 100, which lists the most talked about athletes in the world. Deontay is ranked 34, two slots behind Tom Brady and higher than any other active boxer in the sport. He’s a bonafide superstar, there is no question.
“Dominic Breazeale is big, güclü, experienced and powerful. Above all, motivasiya edir. It’s no secret that there is a personal rivalry between these two fighters. This will not be a friendly promotion. There is genuine animosity. This is a premium fight and this is the heavyweight championship on May 18 live on SHOWTIME.”

Heç-heçə ilə, Castaño, Wara kəmərini Lara'daki uzun müddətdir ən yaxşı 154 qurucusuna qarşı karyerasının ən çətin sınağı olan yerdə qoruyur..

Yaxında, hesablanması çətin mübarizə, raundların beşi üç və ya daha az bağlayıcı ilə ayrılmışdı və bu turlardan üçünü Lara tərəfdarı idi. Son iki turda, Castaño təzyiqi artırdı və qoşuldu 44 punches, Lara isə yalnız endi 24 çempionat turlarında yumruqlar. Castaño, hər üç hakimin kart kartında son üç turu qazandı. Bunu etmədən, argentinalı kəmərini itirərdi.
Qızğın mübahisələrdən sonra, hər iki döyüşçünün də seçimləri var, təkrar görüş daxil olmaqla, istedadla zəngin super orta çəkidə.
“Mübarizəni qazandığımı bilirəm. Soyulduğumu hiss edirəm,”Deyə məyus olan Castaño SHOWTIME-dan Jim Greyə danışdı. “Cavab oyununu istəyirsə, Mən ona cavab görüşünü verəcəm. Bu dəfə onu gözlədim ki, cavab görüşünü istəsə yenidən gözləyə bilərəm. İstəsə ona cavab görüşünü verərdim. Mən də davam etmək və mənimlə mübarizə aparmaq istəyən digər çempionlarla mübarizə apara bilərəm. Mənim qarşımda kimləri qoydusa hazıram. Hurd və ya başqası. ”
Lara, digər tərəfdən, kəməri tələb etmək üçün kifayət qədər etdiyini hiss etdi: “Daha dəqiq və təsirli zərbələrə enərək mübarizəni qazandığımı düşünürdüm. Castaño döyüşə gəldi, amma heç vaxt mənə zərər vermədi, mən də ona zərər verdim. Bacardığım şey azarkeşlərə böyük döyüşlər verməkdir və bunu etməyə davam edəcəyəm. İçimdə çox mübarizə var və heç yerə getməyəcəyəm.
“Yenidən onunla vuruşmalı olsaq, Mən onunla vuruşacağam. Hurd və ya Castaño. Hər kəs, Hər ikisiylə də cavab görüşməsini edəcəyəm. ”

“Döyüş gözlədiyim kimi deyildi,”Dedi Ortiz. “Çətin bir mübarizə oldu və küncüm həqiqətən mənimlə işləməli idi. Ritmi alandan sonra, Biraz qızdırdım. Oradakı hər bir ağır çəki sahibi bilməlidir ki, hələ 40 yaşım var. Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, Mən hazır deyiləm. "
Hammer əvvəlki döyüşlərdə digər yüksək səviyyəli ağır atletlər Tyson Fury və Alexander Povetkin ilə müqayisədə daha çox enerji və daha qətiyyətlə mübarizə aparsa da, Ortiz, üstün texnika və bacarıqlarını istifadə edərək nəticədə qərarsız qərara gəzdi. Ortiz ortalama 45 yuvarlaq başına atılan və endi 61 cabs to just 20 Hammer üçün, həm də qoşularkən 49 onun gücü punches yüzdə.

“İllərdir olmadığım bir mübarizə apardım, qutu və işdir,”Dedi Ortiz. "Beləliklə, bu axşam bəzi boks bacarıqlarımı göstərdiyim üçün onu nokauta salmadığım üçün məyus deyiləm."
“Ortiz çox yaxşı və təcrübəli bir döyüşçüdür,”Dedi 31 yaşlı Hammer, Amerikalı debüt edən. “Texniki və ağıllıdır, amma insanların dediyi qədər qorxuducu deyil. Ortizə hörmət edirəm, amma qarşılaşdığım ən yaxşı döyüşçü olduğunu düşünmürəm.
“Mən irəliləməyə çox əminəm. Bilirəm ki, hər kəslə məsafəni qət edə bilərəm və hər kəslə vuruşmağa hazıram. İnsanlar nokauta düşəcəyimi düşünürdülər, amma səhvlərini sübut etdim.”
Televiziya açacağında, Eduardo Ramirez (22-1-3, 9 Kos) tutuldu Bryan De Gracia (24-2-1, 20 Kos) doqquzuncu bir sağ sağ üst ilə, rəqibini təəccübləndirdi və qəfildən yaxın bir döyüşü qırdı.

Cameras will be embedded with Shields at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Kolo., and with Hammer in the town of Seefeld in the Austrian Alps as the undefeated rivals prepare for the most significant fight of their careers.
Here is what the press conference participants had to say Tuesday from Dream Hotel Downtown in Manhattan:
“This has been long overdue. I’m just glad that Hammer is here and the fight is set. She’s been at my fights before but I can’t wait to get inside the ring and show her I’m the real champion.
“I’ve traveled to many different countries and dethroned champions around the world. Günün sonunda, I’m coming to fight and I recognize that she’s a great champion. To be a champion for all those years shows that she’s a good fighter. But I also look at resumes, and her resume is not as good as mine.
“I’m not someone coming to lay down. I’m not afraid of her. You don’t win belts by talking. Döyüşməlisiniz. I said two years ago I want to fight Christina Hammer in my seventh fight. It would have been if it weren’t for her medical issue. But now we’re here and ready for April 13.
“Aprel 13 you’re going to see someone fold. Mən sizə söz verirəm, it will not be me. Make sure you all tune-in.
“I think for women’s boxing this is a true super fight that we’ve never gotten before. We’ve never had a fight like this in women’s boxing. It’s great to make this happen and us being from two parts of the world makes this fight even better.
“She’s not the tallest girl I’ve ever fought. I’m stronger than her and I know it. I got up from a knockdown and won. She can’t do that. I don’t believe she knows how to fight on the inside, but she better learn.
“I want to make her quit. I don’t want her to just know I’m a good fighter, I want her to know I’m great. I wish we could go 12 el, but I’ll be prepared for all 10 turlar.”
CHRISTINA HAMMER
“I’m very glad to be here and make this fight happen. I’m looking forward to April 13. I want to show the world who I am.
“This is a big risk to come from Germany to the U.S., but I believe the best should fight the best and I did what I had to so that this could happen. This fight can be a game changer for our sport.
“I will give everything to step out of the ring as a winner. I know Claressa Shields is also a great champion. She’s undefeated like me and that’s why people want to see the fight and that’s why we made it happen.
“I want to thank everyone who made this fight a reality and brought us to this stage. It’s huge for me to be here in New York and I am looking to win on April 13.
“This fight is the real deal. This is going to be a game changer for women’s boxing. I think we’re going to inspire a lot of female athletes who want to live their dream. It’s motivation for everyone.
“I’ve had the title for a long time. I always push myself. This is the fight I wanted to show everyone who is the best. I will be the undisputed champion.
“Shields is beatable. Hanna Gabriels caught her in the first round of their fight and I am taller and stronger than Gabriels. I want to finish the job if I get the chance.
“Boksda bir şey ola bilər. I’m prepared to go the distance. Knockout is the goal but most importantly, I want to win.”
DMITRIY SALITA, Salita prezidenti prezidenti
“I’m honored to bring to the fans the first super fight in women’s boxing history. A lot of questions surround this fight. Will this be a classic like Leonard vs. Hearns, where the gold medalist handles the experienced pro, or like Mosley vs. De La Hoya, where the boxing pro took the gold medalist down. This fight is going to be for all of the belts and this recognizes the true value and impact of this fight.
“Christina Hammer has been a world champion for over nine years and has won titles in two divisions. She’s charismatic and a superstar in Germany and Europe. As a champion that she is, she’s traveling to the other side of the world to prove that she’s the best.
“Claressa made the Olympic team when she was 17 dək təvəllüd, winning our only boxing medal at the 2012 Olimpiya oyunları. She’s the only boxer in U.S. history to win two Olympic gold medals in boxing. She’s had a very impressive pro career, beating world champions and top contenders in all her fights. She’s on her journey to be the best and this fight is a big step toward cementing herself as the GWOAT (greatest woman of all time).
“This is going to be a historic night of boxing. If you watch this fight live and in-person, you will want to hold onto your ticket as a memento.”
MARK TAFFET, Claressa Shields’ Manager
“The media support for this fight is outstanding. This is a very special time. This fight is one of the most significant fights I’ve worked on in my career, because of the place it will hold in history.
“Two years ago I met Claressa Shields and we discussed her turning pro. We made a list of dreams and I promised Claressa I would do everything in my power to fulfill every one of them. We’ve had a wonderful journey together. One of those dreams was to make this undisputed championship fight happen. We’re going to keep making dreams happen.”
TOM LOEFFLER, Christina Hammer’s Advisor
“Without the fighters wanting this fight, events like this wouldn’t happen. Christina Hammer wants this challenge and she wants to prove she’s the best middleweight champion out there.
“These two fighters can be an example for a lot of male boxers. These are two undefeated fighters in their prime putting it all on the line to show who is the best. You don’t see that very often these days.
“This is going to be a fun promotion. This is a fight that’s a real 50-50 mübarizə. Claressa will be coming forward with her style and tenacity, going up against Christina’s experience. It’s for all the marbles”
STEPHEN Espinoza, Prezident İdman & Hadisə Programming, Showtime Networks Inc.
“Let’s get one thing straight here. This isn’t just an important women’s fight. This isn’t just a high-quality women’s boxing match. This is a high-quality boxing match. This is an important fight. So certainly we have two very skilled women, we’re not going to ignore that fact. But this is one of the best fights that can be made in this sport. Two pound-for-pound boxers, yaxşı mübarizə. If you are not interested in this fight, then candidly, you are not a boxing fan. This is as good as this sport gets.
“We at SHOWTIME have a long history showcasing the best in women’s boxing and MMA. Names like Laila Ali, Xristian martin, Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, Gina Carano, Cris Cyborg.; those are all fighters who made their debuts and that became stars on SHOWTIME. This has been a long-time commitment.
“The first nationally televised women’s MMA event was on SHOWTIME. The first domestic televised MMA women’s main event was on SHOWTIME. The first women’s boxing match that was nationally televised was on SHOWTIME. The first women’s main event boxing bout was also on SHOWTIME, and that obviously was Claressa just a couple of years ago.
“So here on this stage you’ve got two of the most elite athletes in the sport. Not two of the elite women’s fighters in the sport, but two of the elite athletes within this sport. Two-time gold medalist, the only American to do that consecutively, and a two-belt world champion versus a longtime middleweight champion who has dominated this division for nearly a decade.
“This is one of the best fights that can be made in the entire sport. We have two of the elite athletes in boxing and they are deserving of having everything that comes with a marquee event on SHOWTIME, including our Emmy Award-winning All Access series.”
JIM WYNKOOP, General Manager, Boardwalk salonu
“We are so excited to have this great fight coming to Boardwalk Hall. It will be our first championship fight in several years and we can’t wait.
“There is a huge history of boxing at Boardwalk hall in Atlantic City and we look forward to writing another chapter on April 13.”
