LONDON (Aibreán 7, 2016) – IBF Heavyweight World Champion Charles Martin and unbeaten British Olympic Gold Medalist Anthony Joshua faced off at the final press conference on Thursday at Four Seasons Hotel in London as they near Dé Sathairn heavyweight showdown, live on SHOWTIME from The O2.

 

AN SHOWTIME Dornálaíochta IDIRNÁISIÚNTA® telecast begins live at 5 p.m. AGUS/2 p.m. PT ar Showtime. An encore presentation will air on SHOWTIME EXTREME® ag 8 p.m. AGUS/PT.

 

Here’s what Martin and Joshua had to say at Thursday’s final press conference.

 

CHARLES MARTIN:

“I don’t consider this a risk. The O2 Arena, that’s my arena. I’m comfortable everywhere I go. When eyes are on me, I’m going to perform.

 

“I know how to move my head and be evasive. Real true analysts see the things I do. They can tell.

 

“I’m always here to prove the doubters wrong. When you doubt me, that just fuels my fire.

 

“We’re going to keep the tide rolling. We’re rolling.”

 

ANTHONY JOSHUA:

“They know when it comes to these big heavy-hitters we don’t play games. We’re here to go to war. We’ve just got two generals in the ring and the best army wins.

 

“You know what I’m like, Tá mé Trodaire. I’m not going to go in there and dance around and try to evade punches. I’m going to walk through two to give him five. That’s just how it goes, I’m coming for him.

 

“I’m here to box, but at the same time I know I’m ready to swim through deep waters to get it. It’s not going to be easy, I know that for a fact, no fight is easy. That’s why I said to you I will box and hopefully it will be an easy night.

 

“It most definitely is a risk, but at the same time let’s scrap all this 15-fight, 16-fight nonsense and let’s put men in the ring together who want it. Whoever wants it comes out on top and it’s simple as that.”

 

When asked if he can control his emotions: “Probably not. I’ll probably go out and try to take his head off.”

 

Additional Fight Week Quotes (free to use):

 

CHARLES MARTIN:

 

“I don’t know how the fans will react to me knocking him out, but that’s what is going to happen. I don’t know how the fans in London will react, but I can only be myself.

 

“I’m world champion, but a lot of people don’t know me. After I knock him out we’ll see where that goes.

 

“I’m not going to go in there respecting anybody’s power. He’s going to have to respect me and my power and deal with me and my tools. I don’t care what he’s bringing to the table.

 

“This is my livelihood and I get real emotional with this. If you don’t take emotion into it then how are you even going to win? I’ve got to walk my own path. When I get emotional ahead of a big fight like this, I feel that I cannot be stopped. Even if I have doubt, I always have that.

 

“I don’t think about where he’s been. All I care about is where he’s going. I don’t care if he’s been in deep water before, or how many rounds he’s been. I want him to remember the word ‘timber’ because I’m going to make his ass hit that canvas real hard.

 

“This belt is mine. He’s trying to take what’s mine, take something from me. He’s trying to steal food out of my mouth, out of my kids’ mouth, out of my family’s mouth. This is my livelihood.

 

“I don’t want to let this go: this is never going to end. I want to be known as the greatest southpaw heavyweight that ever put on a set of gloves.

 

“When I get to this point now, I can’t be stopped. I’m like Lamon Brewster versus Wladimir Klitschko when he unloaded all those shots until he couldn’t throw anymore punches. And then what did Lamon Brewster do? Knock him the (expletive) amach. Just that will to win, ceann. You can throw whatever you want, but I’ll walk through fire to get you.

 

“It’s controlled aggression, cé, because if it’s not, you’ll run into everything they throw at you. I go in there with my antennas to the ceiling and I won’t take my eyes off him until the job is done.

 

“Everything is just cooking in the kitchen like I am a master chef, and all of the ingredients put together make it perfect.

 

“Life is all about taking risks but I don’t consider this a risk because I’m confident in what I do. It’s all about just taking that first step. You’ve got to walk out on your own and you’ve got to believe in yourself. If I didn’t believe in myself I wouldn’t have made it this far. If I didn’t believe in myself I wouldn’t be Prince Charles Martin.

 

“The belt is absolutely in the right hands. I didn’t want to win it the way I did – that was just crazy – I don’t even really like talking about it because it wasn’t my fault. Afterwards, he walked out of the venue – he didn’t limp or get carried out, he walked. If that was me I’d have fought on and gone out on my shield. You’d have to knock me out no matter what. I don’t care if I break my hand, if I break my jaw, I am not stopping.”

 

ANTHONY JOSHUA:

“I believe I am ready to win the world title. A lot of people have said that this might be too soon for me, that I’ve bitten off more than I can chew, but right now my knuckles are itchy and I just want to get in there and show the world what I can do.

 

“When my promoter Eddie Hearn called me up and said ‘do you want to fight Charles Martin for the world heavyweight title?’ I just said: ‘Let’s roll’.

 

“Opportunity knocks and you have to open the door. I have trained and prepared correctly and am ready for this. There’s no turning back. I just embrace it.

 

“We saw the opportunity when Martin called me out. Bhí mé cosúil le, ‘OK Mr. IBF calling me out.’ The IBF champ calling out the British champ. I’ve got the heavyweight champion of the world calling me out saying he wants to fight me. I say cool. Let’s rock and roll.

 

“At the end of the day, let’s strip away the heavyweight title and let’s look at the opponent I’m facing. Charles Martin is a southpaw who can box and who can punch a bit.

 

“Facing a southpaw always comes with different angles and different tricks. I can’t go in recklessly because you can easily get counter punched. That’s why sparring is important and having a successful camp is important. I know I’ve done all I can to prepare myself for him.

 

“Let’s welcome Charles into the Lion’s den. He’s coming to The O2 – this is my stomping ground. When I fight here it’s electric and it’s going to be an amazing atmosphere, the best yet. It’s going to be interesting to see how he handles it. What a night it will be if I can lift that belt above my head.

 

“Sometimes you got to put talent to one side and dig deep. This is the fight game; you got to prove to yourself that when tactics aren’t working, you’ve got to dig a bit deeper, go to war and find a way to win. That’s what I thought when I fought Dillian (Whyte). Certain things weren’t working, I was rushing a bit, I wasn’t in my comfort zone, but I dug deep I found a way to win and I ended the night in a spectacular knockout.

 

“After I do the business with Martin, a fight with (Tyson) Fury is 10 nó 12 months away — providing he handles his business in (Wladimir) Klitschko rematch.

 

“I find Fury a bit irritating to be honest. All his antics work for him, I suppose, but I can’t wait to fight him. He’s had plenty to say about me, and it’s coming from the same guy that was singing my praises when I sparred with him when I was a complete novice.

 

“As time goes on, it’s going to get worse for the others because my confidence will grow, I’ll train, learn and take it into the ring.

 

“David Haye? Bring it on. My heart tells me I am ready. I am at championship level now. After I get Martin out of the way, David is a massive name and when we’re ready to get it on it will be a huge fight.”

An comhrac in Tuairisc: Churcher KOs Horvath To Secure WBF title as Herbert Shines In Wales

Leave a comment

Lee Churcher pulled out a sensational against the odds victory over Hungarian Balazs Horvath ar an Satharn night to secure the World Boxing Foundation Intercontinental Middleweight title, at the Pill Millennium Centre in his hometown of Newport.

 

Churcher, who was World ranked some two hundred plus places lower than Horvath, dominated the bout right from the off. Working behind a good solid jab, the Newport lad enthralled the local fans with some slick combinations, to both body and head, so much so that the more experienced Hungarian soon had to result to holding tactics whenever Churcher was in close range.

 

The canny Welshman was having none of it though and just patiently waited for any opportunity that came his way to punish Horvath with vicious body shots.

 

By midway through the first round Churcher’s confidence really began to grow, after badly shaking Horvath with the aforementioned body shots, so it came as no surprise to anyone when shortly after Churcher sent Horvath to the deck.

 

Horvath recovered but once again resorted to holding tactics to frustrate Churcher through to the end of the round.

 

More of the same in round two more or less, except Churcher really started to get into a flow, catching Horvath with more vicious body shots, the Hungarian tried to cover up, before again trying to grab hold of the Welshman, Churcher is canny though and worked behind the jab again before letting rip with yet another huge right hand to send Horvath down for the second time.

 

The Hungarian made the count and immediately on the restart Churcher went back on the attack, but the Hungarian tried to stifle the Welshman’s attacks by attempting to grab hold again, Churcher though used this to his advantage and let rip with a huge body shot to send the Hungarian back down to the canvas.

 

Clearly in distress, Horvath made an initial attempt to get back to his feet before settling to be just up on one knee, the pain showing on the Hungarian’s face clear for all to see as he attempted to unsuccessfully beat the count.

 

Whilst it may not have been a classic, nothing, but nothing can take away from Lee Churcher the artistry of his craft and tactics throughout and of course claiming the third Championship accolade of his career, the World Boxing Foundation Intercontinental Middleweight Championship, to add to his British Masters and BBBofC Welsh Area Title.

 

Main support for the Churcher-Horvath Championship bout, featured a four round Super Welterweight bout between Nottingham duo Carwyn Herbert and Matt Scriven.

 

Cad troid cracking, both combatants going at it hammer and tongs in close combat for the full three minutes of each and every round.

 

After the full four rounds of non-stop action referee Chris Kelly scored the bout 40-36 to the youngster Carwyn Herbert, however that doesn’t really express the closeness of each round or the full on intent of either competitor throughout.

 

Supporting the two pro bouts were six Wales versus England exhibition bouts, supervision courtesy of Wales Boxing. Whilst I’m not going to cover these because they were not pro, have to say the final two bouts of the six were excellent and really could have featured on any pro card and nobody would have known the difference.

 

Have to say plaudits must go to co-promoters Dave Murphy (Acourtier Events) and Steven Fisher (Lights Out Promotions) for digging deep into their pockets to bring both the MBC and the WBF Championship to Wales for the first time, even if it meant there wasn’t enough money in the kitty to justify a full pro show, hopefully the Welsh fans will get behind Lee Churcher so his first defense of the WBF title can also be in Newport or nearby.

Encore Presentation At 8 P.m. AGUS/PT Ar Showtime bhfíor®

NUA-EABHRAC (Márta 29, 2016) - An Showtime Dornálaíocht INTERNATIONAL presentation of the IBF Heavyweight World Championship between undefeated American titlist Charles Martin and fellow unbeaten British Olympic Gold Medalist Anthony Joshua will air live on Showtime ag 5 p.m. AGUS/2 p.m. PT arDé Sathairn, Aibreán 9 ó The O2 i Londain.

An encore presentation will air later that evening on SHOWTIME EXTREME at 8 p.m. AGUS/PT.

An Showtime Dornálaíocht INTERNATIONAL telecast will be hosted by Brian Custer with analysis from Al Bernstein agus Paulie Malignaggi. Coverage of the event will be provided by Sky Sports with the play-by-play call from Nick Halling, analysis from Jim Watt agus Carl Froch and post-fight interviews from Andy Scott.

The SHOWTIME telecast will include extensive highlights and analysis of the IBF Featherweight World Championship between defending titlist Lee Selby and American challenger Eric Hunter.

(EDITORS NOTE: Due to a change in the bout order at The O2 in London, SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL is unable to provide live coverage of this bout.)

Martin vs. Joshua is the third of four heavyweight title bouts in five months ar Showtime (see details below). The scheduled 12-round matchup is the toughest test to date for both Martin (23-0-1, 21 Kos) and Joshua (15-0, 15 Kos), two bombers who boast a combined 94 cóimheas cnagála faoin gcéad.

Selby (22-1, 8 Kos) vs. Hunter (21-3, 11 Kos) is the second of five scheduled featherweight title bouts in 2016 (details below), a lineup showcasing many of the world’s best 126-pounders aiming to unifying one of boxing’s deepest divisions.

“The heavyweight division is experiencing an incredible resurgence, and the featherweight division is rife with compelling matchups,"A dúirt Stephen Espinoza, Leas-Uachtarán & General Manager of SHOWTIME Sports. “Martin vs. Joshua is a can’t-miss showdown between a newly minted American champion and one of the sport’s fastest-rising stars. And Selby vs. Hunter has major implications in the talent-rich division. We are proud to work with Matchroom Sport to deliver these pivotal matchups to the U.S. audience.”

“I’m the Heavyweight Champion of the World, and that’s why I have no problem traveling to England for my first title defense,” Martin said. “I only want to fight the best, and I plan on knocking Anthony Joshua out and taking his fans and the belt back with me.”

“The O2 is going to be rocking on Aibreán 9 and the U.S. fans are in for a treat when they see Charles and I clash,” Joshua said. “Credit to him for coming over after calling me out, but he doesn’t know what he’s getting himself in for. I am going to show all my power, all my speed and all my accuracy to put on the best display of my life and become the Heavyweight Champion of the World by knocking him out. I’m delighted that fans in the U.S. will be able to witness it.”

“After a great experience in my first defense in Arizona against Fernando Montiel, it’s nice to be back in front of my home fans at The O2 in London,” Selby said. “It’s going to be a crazy atmosphere with a 20,000 person sold-out arena. Hunter has talked a lot of trash and I’m looking forward to showing him what it’s like at the world championship level. He’s in for a shock.”

“He’s got a belt I want, and that’s all I know about him,” Hunter said. “My team knows more about him than I do. It’s their job to come up with a game plan. My job is train and get ready to perform my best. I can adjust to anything in the ring. I’m just here at the gym working my butt off to get the job done. I’m going to be more focused than I ever have been for this fight.”

The 6-foot-5 Martin won the IBF championship on Jan. 16 nuair Vyacheslav Glazkov suffered a knee injury in the third round of their vacant world title fight. In capturing the IBF belt, Martin, Naomh. Louis, Mo., became just the sixth southpaw heavyweight champion in boxing history and the second current American heavyweight titlist.

While Martin has stopped his last 13 opponents and was the aggressor against Glazkov, the undefeated champ remains virtually untested. His first title defense and initial start outside the U.S., will take place at what is expected to be a pro-Joshua arena in London that sold out in just 90 soicind. The 29-year-old Martin, who is trained by U.S. Cluichí Oilimpeacha Henry Tillman in Big Bear, Calif., will be Joshua’s first professional southpaw opponent.

Joshua had a standout amateur career that culminated with an Olympic Gold Medal at super heavyweight in the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Since turning professional in July 2013, the 6-foot-6 Joshua has steadily climbed through the ranks.

One of boxing’s most promising prospects, Joshua is coming off consecutive victories over previously undefeated opponents. Ina bout déanaí, the 26-year-old was pushed past the third round for the first time in his career. Joshua defeated Dillian Whyte via seventh-round knockout on Nollaig. 12. Anois, Joshua returns to The O2, the site of his professional debut and five of his 15 bouts gairmiúla, in a bid to join Tyson Fury as the second current reigning British heavyweight champion.

Joshua is also looking to become the sixth super heavyweight Olympic Gold Medalist to win a heavyweight world title. If successful, he will join an impressive group that includes George Saoiste, Joe Frazier, Lennox Lewis agusWladimir Klitschko.

Rugadh i Barry, An Bhreatain Bheag, Selby won his world title with a dominant technical decision over previously undefeated Evgeny Gradovich Bealtaine 2015. The slick boxer made his first title defense in his U.S. debut last October, capturing a unanimous decision over former three-division champ Fernando Montiel.

The 29-year-old owns a slew of victories over previously unblemished fighters including Joel Brunker, Ryan Walsh, Viorel Simon, Corey McConnell agusStephen Smith. He has won 18 straight since the lone blemish of his career, and six of his last eight victories came over previously undefeated opponents.

Hunter, who will take a four-fight win streak into his initial start outside the U.S., has always possessed an abundance of talent. Before turning pro, the Philadelphia native was an outstanding amateur and an alternate on the U.S. Olympic team.

The fast-handed 29-year-old has scored some solid victories as a pro, and his biggest enemy in a nine-year career has been himself – the switch-hitter doesn’t always keep his composure in check and allows his emotions get the best of him. Two of Hunter’s three losses came by disqualification, the last coming via DQ in 2013 aghaidh Mike Oliver for hitting at the break. The other came againstLuis Franco i 2010, when he had a point deducted in the second and was DQ’d in the eighth after repeated low blows.

If Hunter can keep his hot head from getting him in trouble, he’s confident he can upset Selby and join Leo Santa Cruz agus Gary Russell Jr. as U.S.-born world champion at 126 punt.

“Mar gheall ar mhéid an troid seo, bhí ar gach rud a bheith foirfe. Rinne mé gach rud ceart an uair seo,"

 

“Ciallaíonn sé sin go leor; tá go leor i gceist. Is mó atá i gceist leis ná teidil – bród agus cearta bragging é. Tá sé ag cruthú cé hé an duine is fearr. Is mór an cháil atá ar an gclú, mar sin tá an oiread sin ar an líne.

 

“Táim sásta pé rud a theastaíonn le buachan a dhéanamh. Tá sé de chumhacht agam é a bhualadh in aon bhabhta agus tá an inchinn dornálaíochta agam le buachan ar phointí.

 

“Chaith mé 17 seachtain sa champa, an ceann is faide riamh. Chaill mé na chéad chéimeanna ó mo mhac agus breithlaethanta mo pháistí araon. Rinne mé é sin mar b'fhéidir gurb é seo an troid is deacra a bhí agam. Níl mé chun ligean do Scott Quigg gach rud a dhéanamh gan aon ní.”

 

“Is troid iontach a bheidh ann, ceann do na cianta. beidh an bua agam. Is cuma conas, KO nó cinneadh pointí soiléire.

“Ní dhéanfaidh aon duine an rud a dhéanaim maidir le tiomantas don spórt. Beidh an bua agam mar gheall ar inchinn agus cumas dornálaíochta.

 

“Ciallaíonn sé gach rud a bhuachan. Ó aois 15, níl déanta agam ach ithe, codladh agus traenáil.

 

"Dé Sathairn is é mo láthair cinniúint agus, creidim dom, Beidh mé bhuachan an troid. Chuir mé an iomarca isteach le go gcuirfeadh aon duine stop liom.”

 

“Téigh isteach le haghaidh troid iontach. Táim chun a chruthú gur mé an sármheáchan bantam is fearr. Tá mé ag dul a bhuachan trí knockout.

SHANE McGuigan, Traenálaí Frampton ar:

“Tá siad beirt dlisteanach, trodaithe den chéad scoth agus tá b'fhéidir amháin 2 difríocht faoin gcéad ag an leibhéal is airde - tá an faoin gcéad breise sin ag Carl.

 

“Mar oiliúnóir níl tú ach chomh maith le do throdaithe agus tá an t-ádh orm Carl a bheith agat.”

 

JOE GALLAGHER, Oiliúnóir do Quigg

"Sé (Shane McGuigan) cothaitheoir a bhí ann cúpla bliain ó shin a d’iarr cuidiú le Gerry Storey. Níl clú air ach mar gheall ar a athair.

 

“Tá siad ag déanamh meas nach beag ar inchinn dornálaíochta Scott agus tá siad dímheasúil le linn an ama atá romhainn.”

 

BARRY McGuigan, Tionscnóir Frampton

“Ní raibh troid shármheáchan bantam den mhéid seo riamh san Eoraip. Tá braistint Barrera-Morales ann agus beidh sé ina ócáid ​​iontach.

 

“Sílim go mbeidh an iomarca ag Carl dó, ach d’fhéadfadh sé a bheith ina troid iontach.”

 

EDDIE HEARN, Tionscnóir Quigg

“Tá sé níos mó ná Froch vs. Groves, toisc gur imeacht domhanda é.

 

“Táim bródúil as an troid a bhaint amach. Is féidir leis seo an spórt a adhaint agus é a choinneáil beo.

 

“Cuirfidh an t-atmaisféar agus an paisean amach gach rud a chuaigh roimhe. Ní thagann sé níos mó ná seo.

 

“Ní féidir liom aon rud a fheiceáil ach troid iontach. Le dhá trodaithe seo cumasach, an oiread sin ar an líne agus an oiread sin paisean ó fhoirne agus ó lucht leanúna, gheobhaidh tú rud an-speisialta.”

Seo an méid a bhí le rá ag Frampton agus Quigg agus iad ag druidim linnDé Sathairn gcomhrac:

 

CARL FRAMPTON:

“Tá an troid seo ag teastáil uaim le fada, i bhfad. Tá rath orm ar na hócáidí móra agus níl mórán mór ann ná sár-throid intíre.

 

“Bhuaigh mé mo theideal domhanda ar stáitse ollmhór, Fuair ​​Scott Quigg a theideal tar éis tarraingt. Throid sé ar chártaí móra ach ní mar shárfhile agus níl a fhios agam i ndáiríre an mbeidh sé in ann an leibhéal brú seo a láimhseáil. Bainfidh mé úsáid as mo thaithí ar fad chun bosca amach, forluí agus gunna alla Scott Quigg.

 

“Tá muid sa tóir ar na buachaillí seo le blianta anuas. Níor theastaigh uathu é, deireadh an scéil. Ansin níor ghlac sé ach feidhmíocht amháin faoi bhun par uaimse chun a chur ina luí ar a fhoireann gur cheart dóibh an troid a dhéanamh ar deireadh. Más é an chéad bhabhta sin sa troid dheireanach a bhfuil siad ag iarraidh bua a fháil, beidh Scott i do chluiche mór., turraing mhór.

 

“Bhí an campa traenála is fearr de mo ghairm bheatha agam, Táim i gcruth mo shaoil ​​agus beidh mé i mo Chraobhchomórtas Domhanda Super Bantamweight aontaithe.

 

“Ar an gcéad dul síos táim á dhéanamh seo do mo theaghlach. Tá beirt pháistí álainn agam agus an bheirt Christine (Frampton) agus ba mhaith liom an chuid is fearr dóibh, is é sin a thiomáineann mé agus a chuireann béim chomh mór orm ar a bheith ar an duine is fearr ar domhan.

 

“Tá mé 100 faoin gcéad atá tiomnaithe do spórt na dornálaíochta, Caithim dhá sheachtain déag i gcampa traenála i Londain as baile, gan dul abhaile ach dornán uaireanta agus déanaim é seo ionas gur féidir liom a bheith chomh maith agus is féidir liom.

 

“Tá sé ráite ag daoine gur cosúil le meaisín traenacha Quigg. Is féidir liom a rá leat go bhfuil mé ag traenáil chomh dian céanna mura bhfuil sé níos deacra, ach ní meaisín mé. Ní gá dom a bheith cláraithe le feidhmiú.

 

“Seán (McGuigan) is cóitseálaí iontach, Bhí mé á rá ar feadh i bhfad. Ach anois tá daoine ina suí agus ag tabhairt faoi deara. Oibríonn Shane agus mé féin go dian ar thaicticí agus ar theicnící agus muid ag druidim le gach troid, ach tá a fhios againn araon más gá tactics a athrú i lár na troid is féidir liom smaoineamh ar mo bhealach trí chomórtas. Ní féidir le Scott Quigg.”

 

SCOTT QUIGG:

“Is é seo an t-am iontach anois don troid seo. Is seaimpíní an domhain sinn beirt, táimid beirt gan sárú, agus creidim gurb é seo an t-am iontach dom dul amach ansin agus jab a dhéanamh air.

 

“Is troid é atá uaim le fada an lá. Is troid é atá ar siúl le fada an lá. Nuair a shínigh Carl ar an líne phonc, bhí mé céim níos gaire do gach rud a d’oibrigh mé a bhaint amach; ag éirí is fearr.

 

“Bhí mé i gcónaí ag iarraidh an deis a chruthú gur mé an duine is fearr. Anois tá an troid déanta, Táim aon mhilliún faoin gcéad muiníneach go mbeidh an bua agam ar bhealach iontach. Is féidir liom a bhuachan ar phointí, ach bainfidh mé Carl Frampton amach.

 

“Ní raibh aon duine ag súil go n-éireodh liom Kiko as sin go luath. Dá gcuirfinn stop leis go déanach nó má bhuaigh mé ar phointí, ansin bhí sin déanta cheana féin ag Carl, mar sin an t-aon bhealach a d'fhéadfainn creidiúint a fháil nó a thaispeáint do dhaoine cad atá mé in ann ná KO dó go luath.

 

“Le Carl agus a fheidhmíocht sna Stáit, phioc siad de láimh (Alejandro) Gonzalez ó liosta de na opponents mar cheap siad go mbeadh sé an ceann is éasca. Theastaigh uathu dul thall ansin agus breathnú go maith ina U.S. tús ionas go mbeadh na Meiriceánaigh go mór faoi - agus ba bheag nár éirigh leis.

 

“Tá meas againn ar a chéile mar throdaithe. Ní éiríonn tú i do churaidh domhanda de sheans, tá a lán obair chrua agus neart tallainne i gceist. Ach tá siad i do turraing mar go gceapann siad nach féidir liom troid ach bealach amháin. Ní dóigh leo nach bhfuil mé in ann oiriúnú agus tiocfaidh mé ar aghaidh ag siúl. B'fhéidir go ndéanfaidh mé sin, ach má thagann mé ar aghaidh steaming, is mar tá mé chun KO dó.

 

“Tá daoine ag rá anois toisc go raibh mé ag cnagadh guys amach go luath go leor go raibh mé ag dul amach le haghaidh na stadanna, ach ní mar sin atá an scéal. Tá mé ag dul amach agus bhí mé ag dornálaíocht.

 

“Má thuirlingím glan ar shármheáchan bantam nó ar aon mheáchain cleite ar domhan, Cnagfaidh mé amach iad. Mar sin,, ní mór dom a chinntiú go roghnóidh mé an t-am ceart agus go n-osclóidh mé na bearnaí. Agus nuair a bheidh na bearnaí ann ansin tógfaidh mé iad.

 

“Ní thugaim aon aird an bhfuil an slua taobh thiar díom nó an bhfuil sé taobh thiar de mo chéile comhraic, ach tá a fhios agam le fírinne go nglacann sé compord as a lán tacaíochta a bheith aige. Nuair a bhaintear as sin é, léiríonn sé a leochaileachtaí. Sílim go gcuirfidh sé sin isteach air.

 

“Tá na hÉireannaigh thar a bheith paiseanta faoin spórt agus tá a fhios acu a gcuid dornálaíocht istigh. Faigheann siad taobh thiar dá bhfear agus cruthóidh siad atmaisféar iontach. Beidh an t-atmaisféar ag dul in olcas níos mó mar go bhfuil muid beirt ag barr ár gcluiche agus tá go leor marcaíocht air seo. Tá go leor mórtais i gceist – beidh sé leictreach.”

 

“Chuaigh mé isteach sa dornálaíocht le bheith mar chraobh dhomhanda. Tá sé sin déanta agam agus anois tá spriocanna nua socraithe agam chun airde níos airde a bhaint amach mar ba mhaith liom dúshlán a thabhairt dom féin gach lá.

 

“Tháinig Ricky Hatton ina réalta thar na bearta agus bhí an-tóir air sna Stáit Aontaithe. Thóg sé 40,000 Brits go Las Vegas agus tháinig chun bheith ina réalta domhanda. Sin an chéad sprioc eile atá leagtha amach agam dom féin agus is féidir liom é a bhaint amach má fhanaim ag obair go dian, coinnigh mo thiomantas agus mo fhócas.

 

“Tá an troid seo á fháil anois ar SHOWTIME sna SA. Is é an chéad chéim. Rachaidh mé amach agus déanfaidh mé jab ar Carl, buachan ar bhealach iontach agus cuirfidh sé sin borradh faoi mo phróifíl sna S.A.

 

“Níl mé chun an crios WBA a thabhairt suas. Ba mhaith liom dul i ngleic leis an chuid is fearr. Is é Guillermo Rigondeaux an chéad cheann eile mar is é sin a d’ordaigh an WBA.

 

“Tá mo dhírigh ar Carl a bhualadh. Breathnóimid ar an troid is fearr amuigh ansin. Dúirt mé i gcónaí, ‘Tá mé amuigh ag troid leis na cinn is fearr agus an chuid is fearr a bhualadh.’ Mar sin, Is léir go mbeidh mé ag troid le Rigondeaux. Níl faitíos orm troid leis. Nílim ag faitíos ón dúshlán. Tá rath orm ar an gcineál sin tasc agus ag troid i Rigondeaux - atá rangaithe mar Uimh. 1 sa rannán mar gheall ar a bhfuil bainte amach aige – dúshlán ollmhór a bheadh ​​ann. Creidim go hionraic má thagann an t-am agus muid ag troid, Is féidir liom é a bhualadh.”

 

SHANE McGuigan, Traenálaí Frampton ar:

“Tá go leor díospóireachta ar siúl faoi cé a bhuaileann níos deacra idir Frampton agus Quigg. Tá a fhios agam gurb é Carl Frampton an Sár-mheáchan bantam is deacra ar domhan.

 

“Rud amháin nach féidir leat a mhaíomh ná cé a bhfuil an pedigree is fearr aige agus cé aige a bhfuil an inchinn dornálaíochta is fearr. Tá lámh ag Carl sa dá roinn agus tá sé chun é seo a thaispeáint ar bhealach brúidiúil agus cliniciúil.

 

“Is féidir le Carl bosca den chos cúil, is féidir leis troid ar an gcos tosaigh agus tá cumhacht uafásach aon-phunc aige.”

 

BARRY McGuigan, Tionscnóir Frampton:

“Bíonn Carl chomh fionnuar i gcónaí nuair a bhíonn an teas air, céimeanna sé suas go dtí an pláta agus seachadann.

 

“Fiú sa troid dheireanach a rinne sé nuair nach raibh tús iontach aige, D’éirigh le Carl fós é féin a tharraingt le chéile agus an méid a bhí ag teastáil a dhéanamh chun an bua a fháil.

 

“Is buaiteoir nádúrtha é. Bhí orm a bheith ag obair go dian díreach le bheith in ann dul san iomaíocht ag leibhéal domhanda. Is dóigh liom gur féidir an rud céanna a rá faoi Scott Quigg, ach do Carl tagann sé níos nádúrtha. Déan é seo a chomhcheangal lena eitic oibre dochreidte agus sin an fáth a bhfuil Carl Frampton ar an duine is fearr ar domhan.”

Khan Stops Quaye To Secure WBU Crown

Leave a comment

Ar an Satharn oíche, Great Britain’s Tasif Khan secured both the World Boxing Union (WBU) and Global Boxing Union (GBU) World Super Flyweight Championships at the Cedar Court Hotel in his hometown of Bradford in the United Kingdom.

 

Khan, who only returned to the sport, following a two year sabbatical, just over twelve months ago, put in the performance of his career, in front of a pack house that included a number of British star boxers, such as interim WBA World Lightweight Champion Derry Mathews and former British, Chomhlathais, European and WBC World Champion Junior Witter as well as various local dignitaries such as the Mayor of Bradford and local MP Imran Hussain.

 

Khan also received support from the British Army, who turned out in force to watch their man being lead to the ring by the band of the Yorkshire Regiment.

 

After a slow first round, during which both combatants barely threw a shot in anger, Khan proceeded to utterly dominated Accra, Ghana’s Isaac Quaye from the second stanza right through to the sensational sixth round, during which Khan really stepped up the pace and sent the Ghanaian to the canvas three times in very short succession, the last of which was a perfect right to the chin that sent Quaye crashing backwards and prostrate on the canvas in such a spectacular manner that the Ghanaian’s corner-man immediately jumped into the ring before referee Lee Murtagh had barely started the count. NB. Quaye was perfectly fine albeit a little dazed after rising.

 

Following the bout a clearly elated Khan spoke briefly.

 

“This is the greatest day of my life, it’s a dream come true and to be crowned World Champion in front of my home crowd really is the cherry on top.

 

I have to say a big thank you to Isaac (Quaye), he’s a great fighter and it couldn’t have been easy for him to walk into the Lion’s Den with such a partisan crowd shouting out their support for me.

 

Also have to say a big thank you to Stephen (Vaughan) and his team for putting on such a great show for the fans and for believing in me, the same to Rio (WBU Europe President & MBC Vice President Gianluca Di Caro) for giving me the chance to box again and more importantly to fight for the WBU title, I’ve always wanted a WBU belt around my waist ever since watching Ricky Hatton win it when I was just a teen.

 

Huge thanks as well to GBU President Juergen Lutz for allowing me to fight for his title also.

 

Finally I’d also like to thank all my fantastic fans that turned out to support me tonight, as well as the Mayor of Bradford and my local MP Imran Hussain for their support, and last but definitely not least my sponsors; Broadway Solicitors Oldham, Kingsland Business Recovery, Vista Gym Benidorm and 3X Sports, as without you guys I could never have achieved my dream – thank you all so much”

“He’s not good enough to beat me.” – Andy Lee

“I’m not going to leave that ring without the title.” – Billy Joe Saunders

SHO VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/1ROfSkF

NUA-EABHRAC (Nollaig. 15, 2015) – WBO Middleweight World Champion Andy Lee agus iomaitheoir undefeated Billy Joe Saunders held separate media workouts in Manchester, Sasana, as they conclude preparations for their eagerly awaited showdown this Dé Sathairn, Nollaig. 19, live on SHO EXTREME (5 p.m. AGUS/PT)from Manchester Arena.

 

Lee na héireann (34-2-1, 24 Kos) will make the first defense of his 160-pound title against England’s Saunders (22-0, 12 Kos), the WBO’s No. 1 contender middleweight.

 

An Showtime Dornálaíocht INTERNATIONAL tairiscint naBoxNation telecast will feature analysis from SHOWTIME boxing experts Brian Custer, Al Bernstein agus Paulie Malignaggibefore and after the world championship showdown. An encore presentation of the bout will air on SHO EXTREME later that evening at 9 p.m. AGUS/PT.

 

Here’s what Lee and Saunders had to say at their media workouts on Tuesday and Dé Luain, faoi ​​seach:

 

Andy LEE:

“I have a punch that can end a fight, lights out, in any given second.

 

“I won’t rely on the punch. I will look to dominate from the start with educated pressure.

 

“I’m feeling very dangerous at the moment.

 

“Saunders’ unbeaten record is a disadvantage. He’s always been in fights he’s expected to win and has been well managed by(Frank) Warren.

 

“I’ve never lost a fight on points and I never will on points. If I’m down on the cards I will go out swinging in the last round.

 

“Saunders being a fellow traveler does add another layer, but at the end the day it’s about how good you are and he’s not good enough to beat me.”

 

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS:

“I’m ready to go for Dé Sathairn oíche. This is the best camp that I’ve ever had. I’m prepared for the toughest test of my career, but I know that I’m in excellent shape to win this fight and become world champion.

 

“Andy Lee is a tough fighter – he’s proved that by becoming world champion and having the type of career he has had. But I’m undefeated and hungry and know that I’m on the brink of fulfilling a childhood dream. I’m not going to leave that ring without the title.

 

“Training in Spain allows me to lock myself away from all distractions and focus solely on the fight. It’s hard being away from home, but it’s all part of boxing. It’s been a long camp, a tough camp, but after that I know that I’m ready to go through hell to make sure that I’m successful come fight night.

 

“The middleweight division is one of the hottest around and I’m prepared to fight any of the other champions in there once I win the title.

 

"Danny Jacobs had a great win against Peter Quillin, and then there is Canelo (Alvarez) agus (Gennady) Golovkin. I know the importance of this fight for the division and I want my name to be among the very best. I’m taking it one step at a time, but I’m open to fight anyone.

 

“There has been no trash talk with Andy because we know what each person is about. We share a similar background and neither of us is going to take a back step.

 

“This is going to be a very exciting all-action fight because we’re going to leave it all in the ring. I know I have the skills to beat him and I intend to show the world why I’m among the best around.”

 

Saunders on fellow Brit Chris Eubank Jr.:

“The truth of the matter is that Eubank Jr. does not belong at the world level – he’s a phony. Tá sé chomh simplí sin. I wasn’t impressed with his win over Gary O’Sullivan, who I’ve already beat. He thinks he can fool the public with a win like that, but he can’t.

 

“His aim now is to move up and fight the best guys in the world, but we saw what happened the last time he stepped up a notch and faced me: he was badly exposed. The same thing will happen with him if he fights someone like Danny Jacobs for the WBA title.

 

“You’re not the best middleweight in your own country and you want to fight a world champion and say you’re going to beat him? I think it’s a delusion and he thinks he’s greater than he actually is.

 

“Sooner rather than later he’s going to get exposed again as the fraud that he is. You can keep talking, but eventually you have to back it up in the ring against top-level fighters. He’s won his last fight and now he’s back talking (expletive) again like he’s the best fighter in history.

 

“If he has the balls to fight again, which I doubt, I would happily hand him another beating, this time in even more convincing fashion.”

Corito Stops Ellis as Gelder Outpoints Bogdanovic In Malta

Leave a comment

ukpic1

Ar an Aoine oíche, at the Aria Complex in San Gwann, Malta’s own Heavyweight King Billy Corito scored yet another emphatic victory, this time over late replacement, Great Britain’s Matt Ellis.

 

Originally Corito was lined up to face Lee Kellett, who unfortunately was unable to make it through the floods in Cumbria to compete against the local star on this special Stephen Vaughan promoted Malta versus UK charity event, Fight For Life in aid of Caritas.

 

In front of a packed house, both fighters started hard and fast, Ellis utilising his jab to good effect to stop the local hero getting in too close, however as the bout progressed nothing Ellis could do could stop Corito getting in close and letting rip with big rights to the body of the Englishman.

 

The first two rounds were very close, but the third was a different matter altogether, Corito started fast and backed the Englishman onto the ropes with some superb combinations, once there Corito proceeded to target the body and then around the thirty second mark let rip with a powerful body shot that sent Ellis to the canvas, then as referee Lee Murtagh began the count the Englishman’s corner threw the towel in, which was ignored and the referee continued to count Ellis out.

 

The official time of the stoppage was thirty three seconds of the third round.

 

Following his victory Corito was informed by Stephen Vaughan that his next fight will be in the United Kingdom, where he will fight in a six rounder on the undercard of Tasif Khan versus Isaac Quaye WBU Super Flyweight World Championship bout in Bradford on February 6ú.

 

Prior to Corito-Ellis, local Light Heavyweight Goran Bogdanovic made his professional debut against Bilston, West Midlands, UK’s Jamie Gelder.

 

Gelder started hard and fast, taking the fight to Bogdanovic, and then continued to keep up the high pace of attack for the entire four rounds, forcing Bogdanovic to be defensive throughout.

 

Bogdanovic did have some success, backing the Englishman onto the ropes and letting rip with fast and furious combinations of his own, however not enough to capture any of the rounds.

 

After four sensational rounds of boxing Judges Nick Aish and Stephen Farrugia both scored it 36-40, whilst Judge Gwayn Bonsfield scored the bout 37-39, all in favour of Jamie Gelder.

 

Supporting the two professional bouts were a number of Malta vs UK Novice Pro bouts as well as two exhibition bouts featuring local fighters.
