Anses vara en av högt uppsatta amerikanska tunga framtidsutsikter, Franklin är en före detta amatör enastående och 2014 National Golden Gloves Champion. Han passerade på möjligheten att konkurrera för en plats på 2016 OS och, efter vridning professionell i 2015, byggde sitt obesegrad rekord med relativ lätthet genom sin första 17 slagsmål. I 2019, Franklin ökat sin nivå av motstånd i rad slagsmål på Showtime, tjäna ett enhälligt beslut över tidigare Nej. 1-rang U.S.. amatör Rydell Booker i april, följt av en hårdnackad split-beslut över Jerry Forrest i juli.

Sura blev professionell i 2016 och har vunnit 11 av hans första 12 professionella bouts. Den 36-årige är kommer från en karriär-best vinna över tidigare obesegrad Tomas Salek för regional Czech tungvikt titel. Den 6-fot-5 Sour har kämpat alla utom en av hans professionella skjutningarna i sitt hemland Tjeckien och kommer att göra sin US. debut mot Franklin. Han var en skicklig amatör utomlands och skakas upp en 80-43-2 rekord samtidigt representera det tjeckiska landslaget från 2008 till 2015. Den ensamme fläck på Sour rekord är en 2017 förlust till högt ansedda obesegrad tungvikts Filip Hrgovic.

“jag har Metod, fart och kraft att slå Jermaine Franklin,” nämnda Sour. “jag är i fin form, Jag tränar hårt och jag är mycket säker väg in i detta bekämpa. Franklin underskattar mig på grund av min ålder, men jag ska show att han är fel och har min hand upp när den slutliga klockan ringer.”

“Jermaine Franklin är på ett uppdrag för att visa världen att han är den högsta nya tungvikt på scen,” nämnda promotor Dmitriy Salita, VD för Salita Promotions. “Han kommer att kämpa stor och stark Pavel Sour som kommer från en karriär-best win. Detta är en betydande tungvikts kamp som kommer att lägga till redan historisk och elektrisk händelse oktober 5 rubricerade med Claressa Shields mot. Ivana Habazin.”

De 24-åriga O'Quinn (12-0-1, 8 Kos) står 5 fot 6 och har fått betyget Nej. 13 i värld av WBO. Blixtsnabba händer och enkel kombination stans har tillät obesegrade O'Quinn att bli en favorit bland Motor City kamp fläktar. O'Quinn var No. 1-rankad amatör bantamvikt i landet innan svarvning professionell i 2015. Han sågs senast april 13 i år på Boardwalk Hall i Atlantic City, vinna en dominerande enhälligt åtta Ligt beslut över Minnesota veteran Vicente Alfaro Martinez.

“På oktober 5 du kan förvänta dig inget mindre än vad jag alltid gör och det är vinna!” O'Quinn sa. “Detta är den största kampen i mitt professionella karriär och min första 10-runt kamp och jag tar det på största allvar. jag ska ser det bästa jag har sett som pro på den natten och efter kampen jag ska vara söker större namn att ta på i super Mellanvikt division.”

EN 29-åriga stående 5 fot 3, Smith (13-2, 7 Kos) bär ett rykte som en throwback och en av de mest spännande Detroit kämpar för det senaste decenniet. Känd för sin orädda aggression i ringen, Smiths slagsmål är alltid “måste se” biljettpris för Detroiters. Också en skicklig amatör, Smed är en före detta National Amateur Champion och åttatiden Golden Gloves Champion. Hans sista match kom i februari i år på Performance Arts Center i Dearborn, Mich., där han vann ett enhälligt sex-round beslut över Mexikos Jonathan Lecona Ramos.

“Min motståndare är fast, men han är inte på min nivå,” sade Smith. “Han kastar en hel del slag men han slår en hel del. Det är ingenting han kan visa mig att jag inte har gjort redan sett förut. Fans kan alltid förvänta sig en spännande kamp när det kommer till mig. Jag kommer alltid att sätta allt på rad för att vinna.”

“Detroit är en av landets bästa boxningskampstäder och denna kamp är ett exempel på det där,” Said Word. “Ja’Rico utses som en av de bästa amerikanerna super flygvikt, medan James Smith inte kunde missa när han blev professionell. Denna kamp kan visa sig vara nattens kamp eftersom båda killarna kommer att göra det lämna allt i ringen för att vinna. Blir det Ja´Ricos hastighet och tidpunkt, eller kommer James Smith att mala ner honom med sin aggression och tryck? Spelar ingen roll vem vinner, detta blir ett oförglömligt krig.”

DEVIN HANEY VS. ZAUR ABDULLAEV SEPTEMBER 13 AT THE HULU THEATER IN NYC

Augusti 7, 2019 FNU47 Lämna en kommentar

Augusti 6, 2019 – Devin Haney can take a giant leap towards World title glory when he faces fellow unbeaten star Zaur Abdullaev in a final eliminator for the WBC World Lightweight title on Friday September 13 at the Hulu Theater in Madison Square Garden, New York, live on DAZN in the US and on Sky Sports in the UK.

Haney (22-0 14 Kos) made an electrifying debut with Matchroom Boxing USA and DAZN in May, destroying Antonio Moran with a KO of the year contender in the seventh round of their clash in Maryland. Den 20 year old fights in the Big Apple for the first time in his career and the Las Vegas native, rankad #2 with the WBC, hits Manhattan for his biggest fight yet in association with DHP Promotions and Titov Boxing.

Abdullaev (11-0 7 Kos) is ranked #3 with the WBC having landed the Silver Lightweight strap in just his ninth pro outing in April 2018, and the highly rated and dangerous Russian registered his 11^th pro win and seventh inside the distance in February, stopping Humberto Martinez in Ekaterinburg, and now fights outside his homeland for the first time in his career.

The WBC crown will be in the hands of either Vasiliy Lomachenko or Luke Campbell MBE when the clash at The O2 in London on August 31, with Haney and Abdullaev keenly observing that clash from their training camps become locking horns on September 13.

“It always feels good when I get the official date,” said Haney. “I stay in the gym because I’m a dog and I love to fight. I want the world to see me rise to my competition. The better they are the better I am. I’m fighting an undefeated fighter at Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden.

“New York fans are some of the most loyal fans in sports and I’m looking forward to really putting on a show for them. Abdullaev likes to apply pressure and I expect nothing less on September 13. I’ve seen him fight and he’s a hungry fighter, there’s no doubt he is my toughest opponent to date. This fight is one step away from a World title fight so we both have a lot on the line.

“Abdullaev doesn’t have a big name, but he’s ranked #3 for a reason, and I’m not ducking him or anyone else that stands in my way. I’m blessed to have tremendous support from DAZN and Eddie Hearn. With this partnership I have an opportunity to fight the best in the world. I encourage everyone in NYC to buy their tickets or get the DAZN App and watch my growth into the next superstar in boxing. This fight is going to be lit!”

“I’m delighted that the fight is happening,” said Abdullaev. “I was panicking when I saw some posts from Haney on social media that nobody wants to fight him at 135lbs, and he might have to move up in weight. I kept biting my nails and really wanted to get engaged but been told to stay patient. Allah the gracious has delivered this fight and now its reality.

“I am a bit disappointed that the fight won’t be at Haney’s Las Vegas back yard as it would have been great to dethrone him in front of his home crowed, but New York is a great boxing city. I’m not silly and I do understand that I’m coming as an underdog but on September 13, I’m coming to crash the hype against all odds.”

WBA and IBF World Super-Bantamweight champion Daniel Roman leads a stacked undercard in a mouth-watering chief-support bout as he takes on lethal WBA mandatory challenger Murodjon Akhmadaliev. Roman (27-2-1 10 Kos) unified his WBA crown with the IBF strap of Irishman TJ Doheny in a fight of the year contender at home in Los Angeles in April, a fifth World title win on the bounce a fourth inside 14 months for the 29 årig.

Roman’s fifth defense of his WBA crown pits him against dangerous Uzbek talent Akhmadaliev (6-0 5 Kos) – the highly decorated amateur has looked fearsome in ending five of his six pro outings to date inside the distance, med 25 year old’s last win coming on the same LA bill as Roman’s dust-up with Doheny. Roman vs. Akhmadaliev is brought to you in association with Thompson Boxing and World of Boxing.

“Anyone that knows me understands that I’m a real fighter,” said Roman. “I’ll fight anyone they put in front of me. Akhmadaliev is hungry, men så är jag. It wasn’t that long ago [2017] when I challenged for the WBA title so we’re not going to give it up. I’m here to fight and defend the WBA belt once more. I have two belts [WBA och IBF], but I want more. My goal is to get all of them so by no means am I overlooking Akhmadaliev. He has that amateur pedigree, can punch with power and likes to come forward. The second you underestimate someone, that’s when bad things happen. I’ll be ready for whatever he brings.

“As a unified champion, I understand that I have a target on my back. That’s why I’ve been in the gym, staying sharp like I always do. There’s no time to relax and look back at what I’ve done because my work isn’t finished.”

“Danny is among the most committed and disciplined World champions out there,” said Ken Thompson, president of Thompson Boxing Promotions. “He relishes challenges and at this point in his career, he only wants the toughest and biggest fights. Akhmadaliev is a young and dangerous opponent, but Danny has all the tools to continue his reign as the best talent in the division. We’re confident that he’ll deliver another excellent performance and retain his WBA title for the fifth time.”

“I am very glad that Daniel Roman took this fight,” said Akhmadaliev. “I know that we are both warriors and this will be a real war! Missa inte denna kamp!”

“We have been waiting for this fight for some time,” said Vadim Kornilov from World of Boxing. “I believe with the will, character, and power of both of these guys, this fight will be a fight of the year candidate.”

There’s more World title action on the bill as record-breaking seven-weight World champion Amanda Serrano challenges WBO World Featherweight champion Heather Hardy in an all-Brooklyn affair, brought to you by DiBella Entertainment in association with Matchroom Boxing USA.

Serrano (36-1-1 27 Kos) conquered her seventh weight class at the Hulu Theater in title in January when the Puerto Rican destroyed Eva Voraberger inside the opening round to claim the vacant WBO Super-Flyweight title.

Serrano held the WBO Featherweight strap in 2016 before vacating it then her sister Cindy picked it up later that year. Hardy (22-0 4 Kos) was next in line to win the vacant title in October in a rematch against Shelley Vincent in the Hulu Theater. Hardy put boxing on hold to return to MMA in June with an outing at Bellator 222 at Madison Square Garden but returns to boxing to go head-to-head with her fellow Brooklynite.

“We found out in February that as a super-champion Amanda could call out any champion in any weight division and she would be the next defense — and she chose me. I didn’t get this far in the boxing game to not know how it works, they’re hyping up a big fight between her and Katie Taylor and this is the second of Amanda’s three-fight deal.

“It will be my first time competing as an underdog even as the current world champion but I’m excited as hell. Everyone knows I have the balls for it. I grew up with a tough mamma, trust me – nobody scares me.”

“I’m very excited to be back in the ring and excited to be fighting Heather Hardy,” Said Serrano. “Heather is 22-0 for a reason, she always finds a way to win. We’ve sparred in the past and I’ve never had an easy day with her.

“So many of the other champions vacated their belts to avoid fighting me but Heather is a true world champion who will not give up her belt.

“We know each other well and I’m honored to fight her for her World title. It’s nothing personal, just business for two girls from Brooklyn in the ring.”

“På fredag, September 13, seven-division world champion Amanda ‘The Real Deal’ Serrano will attempt to wrest the WBO Featherweight title from undefeated champion Heather ‘The Heat’ Hardy in what promises to be an explosive matchup,” sade Lou DiBella, VD för DiBella Entertainment. “Neither Hardy nor Serrano have ever been in a bad fight, both Brooklynites have passionate fan bases and are tremendous ambassadors for women’s boxing. This is a must-win fight for both boxers and will steal the show.”

The Heavyweight landscape remains a hot one and there’s a great 50-50 clash on the card as Michael Hunter challenges Sergey Kuzmin for the WBA Intercontinental title. Hunter (17-1 12 Kos) holds the International strap with the WBA having KO’d Alexander Ustinov in Monte Carlo in November and defended that with a second round KO of Fabio Maldonado in Maryland in May. Den 31 year old is rapidly rising in the rankings and can take a huge leap towards World title action with a win but faces a crunch challenge in the form of Kuzmin (15-0 11 Kos).

The unbeaten Russian puts the strap he won at Wembley Stadium in London in September against David Price and first saw off LaRon Mitchell and then Joey Dawejko in successful Stateside defenses. With Kuzmin ranked #5 and Hunter #8 with the WBA, the victor in New York will be knocking on the door for a title shot, raising the stakes in this pick’em match-up, in association with World of Boxing.

“I’m excited to be fighting Sergey,” said Hunter. “I know that this is not going to be an easy fight, but I am definitely up for the challenge and I want to show people that I am the best in the division.”

“I have worked very hard for this opportunity,” said Kuzmin. “I am here to win this fight and go after the World title. It doesn’t matter to me whether this fight is in the USA or in Russia, I am very confident in my victory. I know my opponent very well, he’s a good boxer, but only one of us is going to be victorious.”

“This is a fight between two top ten prospects, both hold regional titles,” said Vadim Kornilov of World of Boxing. “This fight will hopefully be an eliminator for the World championship mandatory.”

“This is a brilliant show and a big chance for Devin to take NYC by storm,” said promoter Eddie Hearn. “Abdullaev is a dangerous undefeated fighter but Devin is ready for all comers and wants to win this fight and then go straight into the Lomachenko vs. Campbell winner. It’s crazy to believe he is just 20 år – I think it’s fair to say he is the most exciting young fighter in the world right now.

“Roman vs. Akhmadaliev is an absolute war, Danny refused to vacate the belt and like a true champion will face a young fearless, hard hitting mandatory challenger who is taking a giant leap after just six fights.

“The Heavyweight division is red hot and Hunter v Kuzmin maybe one of the match ups of the year – do not blink on this one! We probably could have filled this venue with Serrano vs. Hardy alone, it’s an amazing fight for NYC with the winner set for a defining Katie Taylor fight next. Do not miss this show!”

“We are excited to kick off our busy fall line-up with the return of blue-chip prospect Devin Haney on DAZN,” said Joseph Markowski, DAZN EVP, North America. “Matchroom has put together a stacked card for New York fight fans and those watching around the world on DAZN. We are preparing to close out our first year in boxing with a bang and it all starts September 13 at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden.”

An announcement on ticket prices and on-sale dates will be made later this week.

**Tickets on Sale TODAY at 2 p.m. OCH!**

**NEW YORK – Augusti 6, 2019 –** Undisputed middleweight world champion **Claressa Shields’** attempt at history has been rescheduled for Saturday, Oktober 5 leva på SHOWTIME. Shields will aim to make history as the fastest fighter in boxing, man eller kvinna, to become a three-division world champion when she takes on former world championivana Habazin for the vacant WBO Junior Middleweight Title onSHOWTIME BOXNING: SPECIALUTGÅVA (9 p.m. OCH / 6 p.m. PT) from Dort Federal Event Center in Flint, mig.

Den vakanta WBC Kvinnors Diamond Super Weltervikt Championship kommer också att vara på linjen i Shields’ första professionella slagsmål i sin hemstad.

The homecoming fight was initially scheduled for August 17 and postponed in June after Shields suffered a minor injury to her right knee while doing roadwork.

Shields vs. Habazin främjas av Salita Promotions. Tickets for the live event go on sale today/Tuesday, Augusti 6 vid 2 p.m. ET and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com and at the Dort Center box office.

Den 24-åriga Shields (9-0, 2 Kos) is a two-division titlist who became the undisputed middleweight champion with a near-shutout victory over Christina Hammer in April on SHOWTIME. Genom att göra så, she joined Terrence Crawford, Jermain Taylor, Bernard Hopkins, Oleksandr Usyk och Cecilia Braekhus som de enda kämparna som har förenat alla fyra stora världstitlarna i någon viktklass (Katie Taylor har sedan gått med på den prestigefyllda listan).

Nu, the Flint star seeks to make even more history in her sixth headlining appearance on SHOWTIME. Med en seger över Habazin, Shields skulle bli en tre-division mästare på bara 10 ändarna, breaking the record of Vasiliy Lomachenko, who accomplished the feat in 12 slagsmål.

“I’m more excited than ever. Jag är 100 percent recovered, and I can’t wait to get back in the ring and fight in front of my hometown fans in Flint as undisputed champion of the world,” said Shields. “Having the opportunity to become world champion in a third weight division faster than any man or woman in boxing history will make October 5 a night I will cherish forever. It’s another big step in history, and giant step forward in lifting women’s boxing on the road to equality.”

Habazin (20-3, 7 Kos), från Zagreb, Kroatien, rankas som nr. 1 av WBO kl 154 pounds. Den 29-årige, som kommer att göra henne till U.S.. debut, vann IBF Welterweight-titel över Sabrina Giuliani i 2014. I hennes nästa kamp, Habazin tappade ett enhälligt beslut till Braekhus i en historisk enhetskamp där Braekhus hämtade alla fyra stora världstitelbälten. Senast, Habazin hämnade en av endast tre förluster i sin karriär till Eva Bajic i Zagreb.

“It’s an honor and a dream to fight in the U.S. on national television,” Sade Habazin. “A lot of fighters never get this opportunity in their careers so I know I need to make the most of it. I’ve been training for this fight since June and the postponement has only given me more time to get ready. I intend to put my best effort forward to impress the fans and show that I am for real.

“I am not just coming to fight for a world title, I am fighting for my life and my career. I believe I am the best and now I got the chance to prove that, and there is no better opponent for that than Claressa Shields.”

Shields was the first American boxer in history – man eller kvinna – to win consecutive Olympic gold medals. Hon blev professionell efter 2016 OS och rubriken den första kvinnors boxnings-huvudevenemanget i premium-tv-historien i bara hennes andra professionella kamp i 2017. Shields blev enade kvinnors supermedelsviktvärldsmästare i bara hennes fjärde professionella kamp, och en mästare i två divisioner i sin sjätte professionella tävling. Hon krönades till den obestridda mästaren på 160 pund i sin nionde kamp, mindre än tre år efter att ha blivit professionell efter 2016 OS.

“From Christy Martin and Laila Ali to Cris Cyborg and Ronda Rousey, and now Claressa Shields, SHOWTIME has long been the pioneer in women’s combat sports,” said Gordon Hall, Executive Producer of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIALUTGÅVA. “Without question, Claressa Shields is the face of women’s boxing and we’re excited to present yet another historic milestone in her career as she looks to capture a third division championship in record time. This is Claressa’s sixth appearance on SHOWTIME and yet another test as she continues her personal quest to become the greatest of all time.”

“With the new date, this fight is going to be even more significant,” sa Dmitriy Salita, VD för Salita Promotions. “Claressa has had time to get 100 percent healthy and in the best shape of her life as she goes down in weight to fight for another historic accomplishment. Å andra sidan, Ivana has used this extra time to prepare for Claressa both mentally and physically. She has remained in camp throughout the summer as she prepares to come to America to upset Claressa and fulfill what she feels is her destiny. It’s going to be two fighters at the top of their games.”

“Oktober 5 will be a magnificent event for Claressa Shields, for women’s boxing, and for Claressa’s hometown city of Flint,” said Mark Taffet, manager of Claressa Shields. “Claressa continues to shine a beacon of light on the sport, making history in each and every fight and reaching levels previously unimaginable. She is a once in a lifetime athlete and young woman, and if she is victorious on October 5 she will become the fastest man or woman in boxing history to win a world title in a third weight division.”

Barry Tompkins kommer att kalla SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION action från ringside med boxningshistorikern Steve Farhood och före detta världsmästaren Raul Marquez som tjänar som expertanalytiker. Exekutiv producent är Gordon Hall med Richard Gaughan producera och Rick Phillips rikta.

The undercard for the telecast will be announced in the coming weeks.

Oshae Jones Makes History at 2019 Pan American Games

Augusti 3, 2019 FNU47 Lämna en kommentar

LIMA, Peru (Augusti 2, 2019) — Oshae Jones (Toledo, Ohio) made history on the first night of finals at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru by becoming the first ever women’s welterweight Pan American Games gold medalists.
