Comezou a súa andaina no boxeo profesional en xaneiro 2020 e demostrou ser un participante influente no panorama do deporte coa súa personalidade descomunal e un rápido desenvolvemento de habilidades. O nativo de Cleveland está loitando fóra de Porto Rico baixo a mirada do antigo contendiente de boxeo cruceiro e retador ao título mundial B.J.. Flores, que estivo adestrando a Paul desde a súa primeira loita profesional. Despois de noquear á estrela británica de YouTube AnEsonGib no seu debut e derrotar a Robinson cun nocaut escoitado en todo o mundo, Paul fixo un traballo rápido do ex campión de MMA Ben Askren en abril cun nocaut na primeira rolda. A vitoria sobre Askren foi a primeira vitoria de Paul sobre un loitador profesional experimentado e seguiu cunha actuación impresionante contra Woodley., sen dúbida o seu rival máis perigoso ata a data.

"Empecei a miña carreira profesional no boxeo hai menos de dous anos o 30 de xaneiro, 2020. Catro loitas, tres pay-per-views, dous como cabeza de cartel, e unha area esgotada, Estou ansioso polo meu reto máis difícil ata agora e seguir demostrando que os críticos están equivocados,", dixo Paul. "Loita contra un boxeador de verdade, dixeron, e iso é exactamente o que estou facendo. Un boxeador invicto da lendaria liña de sangue Fury. Con todo, este é algo máis que boxeo para min. É para América e mostrarlle ao mundo que non hai outro país que che brinde a oportunidade de lograr o que che propoñas. É para cada mozo que ten un soño e dedica a súa vida a conseguilo. O 18 de decembro sigo cumprindo os meus soños e convertendo un Fury nun Fumbles".

Loita fóra de Manchester, Inglaterra, Fury comezou a boxeo en 12 anos. Con 12 loitas afeccionadas, gañou dous títulos rexionais e chegou ao Reino Unido. final nacional en 2016. A primeira loita profesional de Fury chegou 2018, unha vitoria por decisión. A partir de aí pasou a nocaut ou TKO aos seus seguintes catro opoñentes e puxo en coñecemento do mundo do boxeo. Loitou tres veces en 2021, incluíndo os seus EE. debuta no cartel de Paul en agosto, onde o mozo de 22 anos logrou a súa sétima vitoria ante Anthony Taylor. Paul afronta claramente o seu maior desafío ata a data no invicto Fury (7-0, 4 Kos), que procede dunha recoñecida familia de boxeadores e foi adestrado pola estrela británica Ricky Hatton.

"Jake Paul está a piques de aprender unha seria lección de vida. Este é o meu mundo, e non pertence aquí,", dixo Fury. "Non son un destes homes de MMA ou xogadores de baloncesto, Levo toda a vida boxeo. O 18 de decembro mostrarei ao mundo a diferenza entre un YouTuber e un verdadeiro home loitador. Grazas ao meu promotor Frank Warren, Promocións máis valiosas e Showtime por darme a oportunidade de pechar a este pallaso dunha vez por todas.

David loitará contra o antigo campión José Uzcategui nun combate eliminatorio do título de peso súper mediano que encabeza o evento, mentres que José enfróntase á Arxentina Francisco Emanuel Torres no evento co-principal de 10 roldas. Os irmáns Benavídez teñen a vista posta en impresionar aos afeccionados da súa cidade natal nos esperados combates de regreso a casa en novembro 13, que marcará a súa primeira vez que entran no ring en Phoenix desde entón 2015.

Os ingresos para o evento en directo, que está promovido por Sampson Boxing e TGB Promotions, están á venda agora e están dispoñibles para a súa compra Ticketmaster.com.

Velaí o que teñen os irmáns Benavídez, máis o seu pai e adestrador Jose Benavídez Sr., tiña que dicir desde o campo de adestramento en North Hollywood, California:

DAVID BENAVÍDEZ

"Todo foi incrible no campamento. Estamos sparring 12-13 roldas e correndo seis ou sete quilómetros ao día. Traballei moi duro e non podo esperar para facer un concerto en novembro 13.

“Uzcátegui é un duro competidor e foi un antigo campión do mundo, así que teño que darlle ese respecto. Hai grandes loitas no horizonte para min, polo que teño que prepararme en consecuencia para Uzcátegui.

"Sinto que son o mellor loitador. Teño mellores habilidades, máis poder, máis velocidade e tamén teño máis fame. Vai ser unha gran noite para o meu equipo. Sinto que vou entrar alí e conseguir a vitoria por eliminatoria.

"Moita xente en Phoenix está emocionada por este. Estou emocionado de volver. O momento é perfecto. Para min, esta é a loita máis grande da miña carreira. Estou preparado para todo o que se me presente en novembro 13.

“Só estamos concentrados en Uzcategui, pero por suposto que hai pelexas máis grandes para min no futuro. Se gano esta loita, Estou no primeiro posto para quen gañe entre Canelo Álvarez e Caleb Plant.

"Enfrontar a Canelo sería unha gran loita na división de peso súper mediano, pero teño que saír en novembro 13 e conseguir esta vitoria primeiro.

"Agora mesmo, co nivel no que estou, os loitadores contra os que busco loitar son campións e antigos campións. Xa sexa Canelo, Plant ou Jermall Charlo, Sinto que todos imos acabar enfrontándonos nalgún momento.

“Canelo vs. Plant é unha gran loita pola división. É unha loita na que os dous mozos teñen moito que demostrar. Ese tipo de loitas tenden a sacar o mellor de todos. Hai moita presión e moita gloria na liña, así que sinto que van ser os mellores que foron. Vou estar preparado para o seguinte gañador.

"Xa levo oito anos como profesional. Só quero as pelexas máis grandes que hai. Este é o nivel ao que traballei durante moito tempo, e por fin estamos aquí neste momento. Quero loitar contra o mellor dos mellores e demostrarme. Quero demostrar que son o mellor supermediano do mundo.

“Uzcátegui é forte e ten ganas de gañar, pero só creo que teño o mellor conxunto de habilidades. Estes son os tipos de loitadores contra os que teño que probarme. Definitivamente vai ser unha guerra, pero vou saír arriba".

JOSE BENAVÍDEZ

"Séntase moi ben estar nesta tarxeta co meu irmán, e estar facendo a miña volta na miña cidade natal. Vai haber moito apoio para min. É unha gran sensación e estou desexando darlle aos meus fans un gran resultado.

"Tiña que facer un descanso, pero agora teño un tipo de mentalidade diferente. Só quero seguir loitando, adestrar e estar preparado. Quero chegar á cima da división superwelter.

"O atraso deume máis tempo para adestrar, máis tempo para facerse máis forte e máis tempo para prepararse. Acabo de aproveitalo ao máximo.

"Vou ser un animal na noite de loita. veño por todo. Estou con fame. Levo anos fóra do ring, polo que teño que facer unha declaración. Iso é o que estou buscando facer en novembro 13.

"Aquí temos un gran equipo. Todos vimos da nada e todos comezamos esta viaxe ao mesmo tempo. Aprendemos día a día e iso é o que fai forte o noso vínculo. Sen o meu equipo, Non estaría boxeo.

"Teño moitos amigos, familia e fans que están saíndo para o meu regreso. Iso é realmente o que me motiva. Estou feliz de que a xente aínda queira verme no ring.

"Eu non sei moito sobre o meu adversario, e sinceramente non me importa, porque o estou derribando. Non importa a quen me poñan diante, boa sorte para eles.

"Despois da miña loita, que vou rematar cedo, Vou estar preparado para saír co meu irmán e apoialo na súa loita.

"Levo moito tempo coa miña muller e as miñas dúas fillas durante este tempo de descanso porque había moitas cousas polas que non puiden estar preto ao principio da miña carreira.. Foi incrible pero estou emocionado de volver. Aínda teño moito que demostrar".

JOSÉ BENAVÍDEZ SR., Pai e Adestrador de David e José

"David parece moi forte agora mesmo. Con cada loita faise máis e máis forte e madura cada vez máis. Só está collendo forzas ao seu home, así que creo que todo o mundo vai ver algo espectacular en novembro 13.

"As palabras nin sequera poden describir o que se sente ao volver a Phoenix adestrando aos meus dous fillos para este gran espectáculo.. É algo que só soñei. Agora está a suceder, e estamos super emocionados.

“Sempre teño que seguir axustándome e medrando como adestrador. Teño que entender que agora son homes adultos. Tiven que deixar de pensar neles como os meus fillos pequenos. Sempre estou tentando aprender máis para poder apoiar as súas carreiras o mellor posible.

"Estou moi orgulloso de que Jose chegue a este punto despois da súa lesión. Todo o que fai agora é só extra, tócalle a el manterse concentrado e traballar duro. É moi forte tanto física como mentalmente e por iso nunca me dei por vencido.

"Estivemos dedicándonos e sacrificándonos todos os días para poder ofrecer á nosa xente en Phoenix un espectáculo moi bo.. Van ter unha noite emocionante e non podo esperar".

Bellator 269 Post-Fight Interviews

BELLATOR MMA 269: FEDOR VS. JOHNSON MAIN CARD RESULTS AND QUOTES:

Fedor Emelianenko (40-6, 1 NC) def. Non. 2 Tim Johnson (15-8) vía KO e 1:46 dunha rolda

Fedor Emelianenko:
“I feel very great. Eu me sinto ben. Two years passed. I’m happy that everything worked out the way we were thinking.

“I’m very happy for the fact that we made the audience happy and we delivered such great joy to our fans. To those who follow our career and Bellator events.

“Its much easier for me to perform in America. I don’t have such huge attention, or maybe I do get the attention, but all the events are strictly planned. Here at home all our camp and our preparation for the fight took place under the supervision of media, journalists and so forth and so on.

“Its difficult to say, I think this is one of the most important wins of my career taking into consideration the location, the country (Rusia), the age. Taking into consideration the force of Tim Johnson, who is a strong opponent.

“Thank god I’m still in sports and I’m not losing my speed.

“Its difficult to answer the ‘what if’ questions. I would like to say that at this moment I’m not planning on finishing my career. I will talk to Scott Coker and my family.”

Non. 8 Said Sowma (8-2) def. Vitaly Minakov (22-2) vía TKO en 3:08 de tres rounds

Said Sowma:
“I couldn’t hit the guy while he was fixing his finger when it was broken. I told the ref that his finger was messed up when he was telling us to keep fighting. I want to fighting him like a true martial artist, not like that.

“I haven’t thought about who’s next, I’m just excited about this one right now. He was a lot heavier than I was, but it wasn’t a fight that I took on short notice. I just wanted a step up in opponents. I believe that if you fight bums your whole life, then you will be a bum. I hope I laid a path for everyone at home that you can achieve anything you set your mind to no matter where you’re from.

“Minakov didn’t finish me in one minute like he usually does with his opponents so I’m pretty happy, but it was definitely a bit of a bittersweet win for me.”

Non. 6 Usman Nurmagomedov (14-0) def. Patrik Pietila (11-9) por finalización (RNC) en 4:06 dunha rolda

Usman Nurmagomedov:
“I’m feeling good. I want to thank God for this victory. It was amazing fighting here in Russia. I am so happy right now.

“I certainly planned on taking this fight to the ground. I was trying to catch him so that I could take it to the ground, where I knew I had an advantage.

“I want to take on a top fighter next. A Top-10 or Top-15 fighter, it doesn’t really matter to me, but I want a top fighter. I will need about a week of rest and then I will be back and ready to go.

“I have not yet talked to Scott Coker about anything in relation to title shots. I don’t know who will win the world title fight between Patricky Pitbull and Peter Queally, but I’m going to take that belt and bring it back home with me.”

Anatoly Tokov (30-2) def. Sharaf Davlatmurodov (18-4-1) por decisión dividida (29-28, 29-28, 28-29)

Anatoly Tokov:

“I felt a little bit rusty in this fight because of the two-year absence. It felt like my reach was a bit off. It was not an easy fight. I was glad that it went three rounds because it allowed me to breath and it allowed me to take control of the situation.”
“Nothing was surprising about this fight because we used to train together and I know his strengths and I know that he’s a really serious fighter. It was a true challenge for me, but nothing was surprising about this one. I also wasn’t nervous at all and in fact I knew that I took care of him in each round.”

LOS ANGELES (Outubro 21, 2021) – Five-time world champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis e contundente, unbeaten lightweight contender Rolando “Rolly” Romero went face-to-face Thursday at a press conference to preview their showdown for Davis’ WBA Lightweight Championship headlining live on SHOWTIME PPV Sunday, Decembro 5 at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Davis’ third-straight pay-per-view headlining attraction will see him battle his outspoken lightweight foe Romero, as the 26-year-old power-punchers put their unbeaten records on the line. The event will mark Davis’ return to Southern California after he knocked out Hugo Ruiz in the first round in front of a sold-out crowd in February 2019.

Os ingresos para o evento en directo, que se promove as promocións de Mayweather, GTD Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from City View Terrace at STAPLES Center:

GERVONTA DAVIS

“I’m thankful to be here to give the fans another great fight. Isto é o que facemos. ‘Rolly’ is just here to talk. He’s trying to talk his way into winning, but he’s scared. Estou chegando a loitar.

“They only talk about his power, pero este é o boxeo. His skills are not up to par with mine. He can’t even talk about power, because everyone knows I’m bringing it. You can shoot bullets, but how are you going to defend yourself when the bullets are shot back?

“He’s been talking for a long time. He’s trying to sell a fight, but I’m going to show him that he’s a chump on December 5. Non estou aquí para falar, Estou aquí para loitar. I don’t take this personally. Para min, this isn’t beef, this is business.

“I was on a mission when I fought Jose Pedraza for the title. I didn’t do the trash talking. I went in there and proved that I’m a top guy. This guy is just here to talk. I’m going to do the talking in the ring on December 5.

“His trainer isn’t working on anything but power. They aren’t working on any skills. He hasn’t fought anybody like me and he’s going to see the difference.

“I’ve never once turned down any fight. I’m not scared of anybody. I’m going to fight everybody. I’ll fight a heavyweight. This is nothing to me. I’ve survived a lot of stuff.

“He’s supposed to come here and sell the fight. I’m supposed to win. I’d rather punish him for 12 rounds than knock him out quick. Part of me wants to humble him, but the most important thing to do is just go out there and get the job done.

“This fight is for the fans. The fans are winning December 5. Make sure you come out and support. I’m thankful to be in this position. It’s all about my team and those people who have put me in a great position.”

ROLANDO ROMERO

"Todo o mundo vai ver decembro 5, Vou noquear a Gervonta. I hope you hear that.

“I’ve been calling ‘Tank’ out since 2017. We were supposed to spar in 2018 and he didn’t show up to the gym. He did that twice because he knew he was getting beat. Decembro 5, you’re getting knocked out.

“This is just who I am. This is how I was born. I came into this sport at 17-years-old and I’ve made the most out of what I’ve done. Everybody come watch me knock him out on December 5.

“He’s got such a big head, it’s going to be hard to miss it. He gets touched up by every opponent he faces. Leo Santa Cruz was beating him up and Barrios was getting to him too.

“He wants to run out of the ring whenever he gets hit. It happens in sparring and in the amateurs. I was the one who had to force this fight, because I’ve seen for years that he’s a chump. He’s made a career out of beating up 126-pounders.

“He doesn’t know half the stuff that I’ve seen and been through. I’m here to knock him out in the ring. He’s arrogant and tries to act like he’s tough, but I’m knocking him out.

“Manny Pacquiao has an awkward style too, and look at everything he’s accomplished. Just because I fight differently, does that mean I don’t have skills? I have my own skills and they’ve gotten me this far.

“I’m not going into the ring angry, I’m just focused.”

Floyd Mayweather, Presidente de Promocións Mayweather

“These are two great fighters. And when I say great, I mean that every time they go out there, they produce. ‘Tank’ is a young kid from Baltimore who had a dream. He’s been through a lot. He fought his way to the top. You have to commend him for that. Non importa o que alguén di, he earned his stripes.

“I believe ‘Tank’ is one of the best fighters in the world. ‘Rolly’ says he wants to fight the best. Come December 5, it’s going to be a hell of a fight.

“’Rolly’ is tough. He’ll fight anybody and that eagerness makes this an intriguing matchup. ‘Rolly’ just wants to prove he’s the best. He’s also a hell of a puncher. Every time we presented an opponent to him, he’s accepted every one of them.

“’Tank’ is doing record-breaking numbers. I always told him it would come in due time. I told him that the same way I sell out arenas, you’re going to do the same thing one day. He had patience and that’s what we’re doing.

“These guys are the future of boxing. I don’t see this fight going the distance. Two undefeated knockout artists. Two champions. Decembro 5, I’ll see everyone there.”

CALVIN FORD, Davis’ Co-Trainer

“I hope you keep up this talking ‘Rolly.’ We’ll see who’s still going to be talking at the end of the night on December 5.

“Romero has an awkward style, but the beauty of having two coaches with ‘Tank,’ is that there’s nothing we aren’t ready for.

“Having Barry Hunter be a part of the camp has helped calm ‘Tank’ down in many ways. I think everyone will see the beauty of us working together in this fight.

“I don’t train ‘Tank’ for knockouts. I train him to go the distance. He can get you from round 1 para 12. So you better stay sharp.”

BARRY HUNTER, Davis’ Co-Trainer

“Everyone knows what we’re coming to do. I have mad respect for the other side. Bring your A-game, because we’re definitely going to bring ours.

“We’re born for stuff like this right here. Like everyone said, there’s no way this fight goes the distance.

“Everybody is working hard to be at their best, because we don’t want any excuses after it’s over with. I have faith in Gervonta. I know what he’s going to do.”

BULLET CROMWELL, Romero’s Trainer

“I know what everybody is saying about who the champ is coming into this, but the champ wasn’t born a champ, he had to rise too. Just like a young lion, ‘Rolly’ is ready to rise.

“I’m an L.A. guy. When we come back here, we’re fighting for a legacy. It’s not just a belt and money.

“I told ‘Rolly’ that Gervonta Davis is standing in the way of changing your family and your legacy. We got a job to do.

“I don’t care about pure boxing or any style. I took karate, street-fighting and boxing, and I put it all together. Combined with a puncher with ‘Rolly’s’ power, and with his grind and grit, it’s a perfect match.

“I have a lot of respect for ‘Tank’ and his team. El é un gran loitador, but Rolly is next up. He’s going to be the new WBA champion on December 5.”

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Promocións Mayweather

“We’re excited to bring this huge event to Los Angeles at STAPLES Center on Sunday, Decembro 5. This is a tremendous matchup and the fans should be excited. There’s a lot of buzz already and tickets are going fast.

“These fighters truly despise each other. It’s rare you see that in boxing. En 2019, me and Floyd were at the Errol Spence Jr. vs. Mikey Garcia and we were talking and all of a sudden Davis and Romero were ready to go at it at ringside. Floyd told them that they could do it in the ring, and now here we are.

“’Tank’ is without a doubt the most exciting fighter in the world. He’s also one of the biggest attractions and one of the best fighters in the world. ‘Rolly’ has let it be known that he’s been ‘trolling’ ‘Tank’ and I’m sure on December 5, ‘Tank’ will be doing whatever he can to shut ‘Rolly’ up.

“’Rolly’ is a very explosive fighter and anytime he steps into the ring, he’s looking to get his opponent out of there. He never lacks confidence and he’s confident that on December 5 he’s getting the job done.

“With two tremendous power punchers like this, there’s no way this fight doesn’t end in a knockout. Tune in December 5 and expect someone to get knocked out.”

STEPHEN Espinoza, President of SHOWTIME Sports

“For SHOWTIME Sports, 2021 has been one of the strongest years on record. We have delivered a total of 42 eventos, half of which ended in knockouts. En decembro 5, I expect this won’t go the distance, ou, with these two hard hitters.

“Week after week, year after year, SHOWTIME continues to be the standard of this sport. No one in combat sports is putting on better, or more meaningful fights than us.

“As we enter Gervonta’s 11th fight with SHOWTIME, he has never been down, and he has continued to shine. When other fighters are talking, ‘Tank’ is fighting and selling out arenas.

“’Rolly’ has also never been downed as a pro. He is a hard hitter and is one of the best talents in boxing, and he will be the first to tell you.”

Dirrell (33-2-2, 24 Kos), a two-time WBC 168-pound world champion, won the title for the first time with a unanimous decision over Sakio Bika in 2014. The native of Flint, me. dropped the title the next year to Badou Jack by majority decision, before putting together six straight victories to get back into position to fight for the championship again. He captured the title for a second time in 2019, winning a technical decision victory over Avni Yildirim. Máis recentemente, Dirrell battled Kyrone Davis to a draw in February, in his first fight since a title fight defeat against David Benavidez in September 2019.

"Estou moi listo para esa loita,” said Dirrell. “I know Hernandez is a tough competitor and I’m sure he’ll have a lot of fans there since we’re fighting on the same card as Canelo. But I know I’m ready to fight on the big stage and on a card of this magnitude. I fought on the Errol Spence Jr. vs. Shawn Porter undercard and I think this fight night is going to have a similar feel. I’m just prepared to do whatever I have to do to get the victory. The fans should expect fireworks. I’m not shying away from the action and hopefully I can get the winner of Canelo vs. Plant if I perform well on November 6.”

Fighting out of Fresno, Calif., Hernández (15-4-2, 3 Kos) has faced excellent competition in his career, battling a litany of tough fellow rising contenders. The 28-year-old most recently scored an impressive unanimous decision victory over previously unbeaten Armando Resendiz in September. In addition to his recent triumph, Hernández has twice faced former unified super welterweight champion Jeison Rosario, fighting to a draw in their first meeting before losing the rematch. He has also taken down then-unbeaten fighters in Kevin Newman II and Thomas Hill.

“I’m having a great training camp for this fight coming off of my performance in early September,"Dixo Hernández. “As always, the fans can expect me to bring an entertaining fight. I know that I’m up against a former world champion who’s accomplished a lot in his career. I’m just focusing on working hard every day to get the victory and everything that will come with it.”

The former WBC Super Bantamweight World Champion, Vargas (34-0, 22 Kos) will return from layoff due to injury when he enters the ring on November 6. The 30-year-old went on the road to the U.K. to capture his title in 2017, winning a decision over previously unbeaten Gavin McDonnell. A native of Mexico City, Vargas made five successful defenses of his title, defeating top contenders including Oscar Negrete, Ronny Rios and Azat Hovhannisyan. His last fight and fifth successful title defense came via a unanimous decision over former world champion Tomoki Kameda in July 2019.

“I’m very happy for my return to the ring and my debut with PBC,” said Vargas. “You are going to see a renewed Rey Vargas on November 6. My opponent is a good fighter with speed who throws a lot of combinations. It will be a tough fight, but I know I have what it takes to win. I couldn’t be happier to be on the big stage on Canelo’s undercard. I know that I have to shine on fight night, take advantage of this showcase, and deliver a great fight for the fans.”

The Baja California, Mexico native Báez (21-4, 12 Kos) enters this fight the winner of his last three outings, all coming by TKO. The 26-year-old put together the winning streak after defeats to the previously unbeaten Carlos Caraballo and former title challenger Jason Moloney. Báez, who has fought professionally since 2013, will fight in the U.S. for the fourth time on November 6. Amongst his stateside outings, Báez dominated former interim champion Moises Flores on his way to earning a unanimous decision in February 2020.

“I’m excited for this great challenge on November 6,” said Báez. “I’m planning on giving the fans a true Mexican war and leaving it all in the ring to get the victory. It’s an honor to fight on the Canelo undercard and I’m going to make the most of it. This is going to be a toe-to-toe war, and I’m going to show that he’s not able to stand up to my power and aggression.”

Rodríguez (11-1-1, 10 Kos) burst onto the scene with knockout victories in 10 do seu primeiro 11 loitas. He capped off a five-win 2020 campaign with a knockout of Cameron Krael in October and a decision victory against Luis Alberto Veron four months later. Fighting out of his native Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, Rodríguez most recently dropped a narrow majority decision against Kenneth Sims Jr. en maio.

“I am very thankful to my team for getting me this tremendous opportunity opening up the pay-per-view for the biggest fight of the year,” said Rodríguez. “I have a tough opponent in front of me, but I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m ready to show everyone that I’m the real deal. My goal remains the same, and that’s to win a world title in 2022. Primeiro, I am just focused on November 6 and making sure I take advantage of the opportunity that a victory will produce on my road to the world title.”

Romero (14-0, 9 Kos) converteuse en profesional en 2017 after fighting for his native Mexico at the 2016 Xogos Olímpicos. The 31-year-old dispatched solid veterans Nestor Armas, Nestor Gonzalez and Ranses Payano in 2019, before earning a 10-round decision over Sergio Torres Alvarado in his only 2020 competición. Romero made it back-to-back 10-round unanimous decision triumphs in April of this year, as he won his U.S. debut by defeating Deiner Berrio. Throughout his extensive amateur career, Romero owns an impressive victory over unbeaten welterweight contender Gabriel Maestre.

“I’m very excited that my team was able to get me this great opportunity to fight on a Canelo show in Las Vegas,” said Romero. “I feel just as happy and excited to fight as I did for the Olympic games. I’m going to prove what I’m made of on November 6. No matter who my opponent is, I always train hard and prepare to do whatever I can to earn the victory.”

LAS VEGAS (Outubro 13, 2021) – WBA Welterweight Champion Jamal “Shango” James will defend his title against unbeaten contender Radzhab Butaev in a 12-round duel that headlines a night of action live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Outubro 30 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

O CAMPIONATO DE BOXEO SHOWTIME® transmisión comeza ás 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and features rising welterweight star Jaron “Boots” Ennis in a 10-round showdown against veteran contender Thomas Dulorme no co-main event. Kicking off the telecast, exciting unbeaten lightweight contender Michel Rivera faces Argentina’s Matías Romero in a 10-round attraction.

Os ingresos para o evento en directo, que é promovido pola TGB Promocións, are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com. Ennis vs. Dulorme is promoted in association with D&D Boxing. Rivera vs. Romero is promoted in association with Sampson Boxing.

“A stacked lineup of top contenders and up-and-coming future champions will be on full display October 30 on SHOWTIME in Las Vegas,” said Tom Brown, Presidente da TGB Promocións. “Jamal James has battled his way to the highest levels of the welterweight division and will get one step closer to gathering elite status if he can overcome the unbeaten Radzhab Butaev. The undercard bouts will also feature two rising stars, as Jaron Ennis and Michel Rivera look to impress in tough matchups on a big stage.”

Minneapolis’ James (27-1, 12 Kos) returns to action after his previous outing saw him earn an interim title by defeating Thomas Dulorme in August 2020, before later being upgraded to the “regular” championship. The 33-year-old is riding a seven-bout winning streak that includes triumphs over Abel Ramos, Diego Gabriel Chaves and Antonio DeMarco, with four of those matchups coming in his hometown, where he has grown a rabid fan base. With a win on October 30, James moves nearer to a potential rematch of his first and only defeat against WBA Welterweight World Champion Yordenis Ugas.

Training is and has been at 100%,” dixo James. “I’m excited to finally get back in the ring and defend my title. This will be the fight where I show everyone why I’m elite in this profession and should be recognized as one of the best.

The 27-year-old Butaev (13-0, 10 Kos) will finally square off against James in a long-awaited matchup ordered by the WBA. Butaev turned pro after approximately 400 amateur bouts in 2016 and reeled-off KOs in six of his first seven outings. Originally from Russia and now fighting out of Brooklyn, N.I., Butaev returned to the ring in December 2020, stopping previously unbeaten Terry Chatwood in the third round.

“We’ve been working hard for a year leading up to this fight,” said Butaev. “Everything is going really well in camp and we’re excited to finally get in the ring against James. I’ve seen how James fights and it’s definitely going to be a clash of styles. I can just promise that I’m going to bring the war and make this an exciting fight. I’m going to start writing my history on October 30.”

Ennis (27-0, 25 Kos) is the latest in the pantheon of outstanding Philadelphia fighters, combining sublime boxing skills with natural power in both hands. After numerous appearances on ShoBox: A Nova Xeración, the 24-year-old Ennis graduated to headlining his first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast in his last outing in April, as he became the first fighter to stop former world champion Sergey Lipinets. The knockout victory gave Ennis 17 KOs in his last 18 loitas, with the only blemish being a no-decision in the first round against Chris van Heerden in December 2020.

“I’m glad to be back in the ring October 30 on SHOWTIME in Las Vegas,” said Ennis. “This is another step towards becoming world champion! They haven’t seen nothing yet. It’s time for me to continue to shine and be great. I can’t wait to show out and have some fun.”

The 31-year-old Dulorme (25-5-1, 16 Kos) has amassed a solid resume at 140 e 147 pounds during his career, climbing into the ring with world champions Yordenis Ugas, Jessie Vargas and Terence Crawford. Born in Marigot, Guadeloupe but representing Carolina, Puerto Rico, Dulorme rebounded from a loss to Crawford for a 140-pound title by scoring back-to-back knockouts, followed by a narrow decision loss to Ugas. The world title challenger is coming off solid efforts in back-to-back decision losses against Jamal James and Eimantas Stanionis.

“I think in the Stanionis fight I demonstrated that I am still at the top level,” said Dulorme. “A lot of people told me I won that fight and I thought I did too. I’m excited to face Ennis because he’s a good fighter, but he hasn’t fought anyone like me. The fans can expect another great performance from me on SHOWTIME.”

Nacido en Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and now fighting out of Miami, Fla. Rivera (21-0, 14 Kos) burst onto the scene in 2019, making his U.S. debut with a victory over Juan Rene Tellez. The 23-year-old continued his ascent in 2020, adding a stoppage win against Fidel Maldonado Jr. and a unanimous decision triumph against lightweight contender LaDarius Miller. Rivera has continued his dominance with a pair of knockout victories in 2021, stopping Anthony Mercado in February before most recently delivering a highlight-reel knockout of Jon Fernandez in July on SHOWTIME.

“Romero made a big mistake taking this fight,", Dixo Rivera. “What he’s seen from me in the gym, is not the same thing that he’s going to see on fight night. He is far from a fight night fighter. He folds under pressure or runs. He is a good fighter, but he’s not at my level. I won’t let him go the distance like Isaac Cruz did. En outubro 30, I’m going to give him the beating of his lifetime.”

Romero (24-1, 8 Kos) made his stateside debut in March, dropping a competitive decision to top lightweight contender Isaac Cruz on SHOWTIME. Anteriormente, the Cordoba, Argentina native picked up a pair of victories in 2020, winning a 12-round decision over Javier Jose Clavero in November, while stopping Gabriel Gustavo Ovejero in March. Profesional desde 2015, the 25-year-old will look to bounce back from his first defeat and move into title contention against another elite 135-pound opponent.

“Rivera and I have the same promoter and I personally requested for Sampson Lewkowicz to let me fight him when I saw he had no opponent,” said Romero. “I am willing to step in because I know I can beat him. We have trained at the same gym, but never sparred. His style is perfect for my style. This is going to be another victory for me to add to my collection.”
