Poniżej jest to, co miał do powiedzenia bojowników:

 

Andre „S.O.G.” Oddział - Mistrz świata zjednoczonej wagi półciężkiej

„Nie mogę się doczekać, aby wygłosić oświadczenie w tej walce i odpowiedzieć na wszelkie pytania, które mogą się tam pojawić, i usunąć wszelkie wątpliwości, które mogą się tam pojawić, więc jestem podekscytowany. Musisz spojrzeć na drugą stronę monety, jest wielu ludzi, którzy myśleli, że wygrałem walkę i dostał to, o co prosił. Teraz po tym, nie chcemy słuchać żadnych wymówek. Nie chcemy o niczym słyszeć. Zamkniemy drzwi przed tym i, tak jak powiedziałem, usuń wszelkie wątpliwości i pytania ze stołu.

 

„W tym sporcie, Mam bardzo mało miejsca na błędy. Zawsze mam presję po swojej stronie - bez względu na to, czy jestem pretendentem, czy mistrzem. Ale to jest w porządku, ponieważ ja i mój zespół, nauczyliśmy się, jak radzić sobie z presją. Wiemy, jak sobie z tym poradzić. Nie mogę się doczekać powrotu wszystkiego, co przyniosłem, w tym te pasy. Jestem podekscytowany. Nie mogę się doczekać, jesteśmy za kilka dni. Cała ta rozmowa ma się skończyć. Przygotowujemy się do mojej ulubionej części, która jest walką. Czerwiec 17. Chodzi o biznes, więc zrobiłem to, co musiałem zrobić za pierwszym razem. Tym razem chcę to podkręcić.

 

„Presja jest zawsze obecna, jeden. To pochodzi z mojego terytorium i tak jest od dziecka - 16 lat, 17 lat. Dochodzisz do punktu, w którym nie uciekniesz przed presją, obejmujesz to. To właśnie robią wszyscy wielcy. Wszystko, co muszę zrobić, to być sobą i to wystarczy. Wszystko inne zadba o siebie. Na najwyższym poziomie, masz zamiar stawić czoła przeciwnościom. Nie jest, jeśli, to kiedy. Ale pytanie brzmi, jak odpowiesz? Odpowiedzieliśmy tak, jak powinniśmy. Nie mogę się doczekać kolejnej wspaniałej walki fanom za kilka dni tutaj w Mandalay Bay Events Center Czerwiec 17.

 

„Wiele osób mówi o dźgnięciu i prawej ręce. Ale jeśli spojrzysz na drugą część walki, on [Kowaliow] nie trafiał w prawe ręce i dźgnięcia. Miał dobry moment i jest naprawdę świetnym wojownikiem - niczego mu nie zabieram. Dlatego chcę zmierzyć się z najlepszymi, być najlepszym. Niektórzy myśleli, że wygrałem, niektórzy myśleli, że przegrałem. Więc zróbmy to jeszcze raz i na tym polega piękno powtórek w tym sporcie. Nie ma co się bronić. Po prostu to zasznurujesz, zrób to jeszcze raz, a zobaczymy, co się stanie.

 

„Wyszedłem z tego biznesu dawno temu - próbując udowodnić ludziom, że się mylą - bo to nie jest równe szanse. Odciąłem się od chłopaków - 120-108; 120-107 na tablicy wyników - dosłownie słyszałem narzekania na coś. Jeśli to nie to, to jest to. Docierasz do miejsca, w którym dojrzewasz jako mężczyzna, dojrzewasz jako sportowiec, i podejmujesz decyzję, że „będę żył pośrodku”. Doceniam pochwały, ale nie mogę się z nimi podnieść. I krytyka - nie mogę z nimi zejść zbyt nisko. Ludzie mają prawo do swoich opinii. Pozwólcie, że będę się dalej mną zajmować i to naprawdę najlepsze miejsce dla sportowca.

 

„Taktycznie, Oczywiście chcę mieć lepszy start i będę miał lepszy start. To naprawdę doprowadziło mnie do mojej dziury - początek. Jestem pewien, że dokonał pewnych poprawek i będzie trudniejszy, ale jestem gotowa. Zrobiłem wszystko, co miałem zrobić. Kiedy przygotowujesz się tak, jak powinieneś - i wszystkie pola są zaznaczone - czas zabrać się do pracy. Idę do pracy, baw się dobrze i cieszę się tym, co robię, i uruchom pokaz w trakcie Czerwiec 17."

 

Sergey „Krusher” Kovalev - Były mistrz świata zjednoczonej wagi półciężkiej

 

„Wiesz, że to dobrze, że teraz wierzy w siebie, że ma dla mnie klucz, ale nie dostał klucza. Wygrał ze mną dwie rundy jako pusty Kovalev, Pamiętam, że byłem jak ciężka torba. Zupełnie jak zawodnik, który przyszedł na salę bokserską miesiąc temu. I jest jak teraz, „O tak, pokonałem Kovaleva, ale wygrał z pustym Kovalevem ”.

„Do tej walki, Zdecydowanie musiałem nabrać formy, mają różne emocje i różne motywacje. Nie chcę tylko odzyskać paski i podziękować fanom boksu za wsparcie. Chcę podziękować moim hejterom - motywują mnie do dalszej pracy. Chcę zdobyć pasy i jestem tu po to.

"Tak, moje pięści to powiedzą. Powiedziałem już wystarczająco dużo. Chcę powiedzieć Team Ward - powiedzieli mi wiele bzdur, moja drużyna. Zapłaci za wszystko; Obiecuję,.

 

„Doceniam, że daje mi możliwość ponownego zapięcia pasów Czerwiec 17 to będzie inna walka.

„Byłem pusty miesiąc przed listopadową walką. Ward walczył z pustym Kovalevem. Tym razem nie będę pusty - Ward będzie walczył z Krusherem. Na początku obozu treningowego tak się nacisnąłem, że po miesiącu byłem pusty. Czułem się tak bardzo naciskany na walkę - moją pierwszą walkę w HBO Pay-Per-View - że po prostu trenowałem zbyt ciężko ”.

WARD-KOVALEV 2: „REWELACJA”

Sobota, Czerwca 17, 2017

W CENTRUM WYDARZEŃ MANDALAY BAY, LAS VEGAS

PREZENTOWANE NA ŻYWO PRZEZ HBO PAY-PER-VIEW®

LAS VEGAS, NV (Czerwiec 8, 2017) - Wczoraj, Mistrz świata zjednoczonej wagi półciężkiej Andre „S.O.G.” Oddział (31-0, 15 KO) wziął udział w międzynarodowej konferencji medialnej przed długo oczekiwanym rewanżem z byłym posiadaczem tytułu Siergiejem „Krusherem” Kowalowem (30-1-1, 26 KO). Ward-Kovalev 2: „The Rematch” odbędzie się w sobotę, Czerwiec 17 w Mandalay Bay Events Center w Las Vegas. Wydarzenie mistrzowskie, prezentowane przez Corona Extra, będzie produkowany i dystrybuowany na żywo przez HBO Pay-Per-View® od godz 9:00 p.m. I/6:00 p.m. PT.

 

Oto niektóre z wyróżnionych komentarzy od Team Ward:

Andre „S.O.G.” Oddział - Mistrz świata zjednoczonej wagi półciężkiej

„To błogosławieństwo, co kibice Bay Area zawsze robili dla mnie i za to, co robią dla swoich sportowców, czy pochodzą z własnego domu czy przeszczepione z innych miast. Po prostu doceniają ludzi, którzy tam wychodzą i dobrze ich reprezentują. I zawsze odwzajemniają przysługę.

 

„Cieszyłem się swoim zwycięstwem, tak jak każdym innym zwycięstwem. Ludzie muszą zrozumieć, że zawsze trzeba podjąć decyzję, i tak będziecie mieć opinie. Nigdy nie zaprzeczyłem, że to była bliska decyzja, ale wszyscy ci, którzy mówią, że to jakaś domowa kuchnia, muszą pamiętać, że ja nie, wiesz, z Las Vegas, Nevada. Nie możesz po prostu podkreślić tej strony. Musisz podkreślić ludzi, którzy również czuli, że zasłużyłem na zwycięstwo i (że to) był niesamowitym powrotem. Nie trzeba podejmować ścisłej decyzji, aby otrzymać krytykę. Odciąłem się od facetów 12 rundy i otrzymał krytykę. Więc po pewnym czasie stajesz się na to odporny.

 

„Jak powiedziałem wcześniej, [Kovaleva] dobry wojownik. To nie jest to, czym się wydaje, ale okazuję mu jego szacunek. On jest mistrzem, a kiedy już zostaniesz mistrzem i obronisz swój pas, jesteś mistrzem na całe życie.

 

„Myślałem, że wygrałem walkę przynajmniej o dwie rundy. Ale koniec końców, są bliskie rundy, które można nazwać rundą swingową. Nie wiem, jak ta osoba ocenia rundę ani co o niej myśli, ale jeśli spojrzysz na karty wyników, Myślę, że sędziowie wykonali świetną robotę, ponieważ byli jednomyślni.

 

„Jestem zaszczycony, że mogę reprezentować swój kraj, co robię, odkąd miałem to szczęście [jako] mały chłopiec na poziomie juniorów olimpijskich aż do igrzysk olimpijskich. Jako profesjonalista miałem wiele międzynarodowych zawodów i to zaszczyt i zaszczyt mieszkać tutaj w Stanach Zjednoczonych i reprezentować swój kraj. I zawsze to robiłem, nie ważne z kim walczę.

 

„Myślę, że pierwsza walka była wspaniałą walką. Myślę, że w pierwszej walce było dużo dramatu, więcej dramatu niż chciałem. Myślę, że to była ogromna walka i wierzę, runda druga będzie ogromną walką.

 

„Na ringu spotkałem się z wieloma przeciwnościami. Wiesz, część tego widzieli ludzie. Dużo tego, być może, publiczność nie widziała wielu siłowni ani wielu sesji sparingowych i wszystkiego, co musisz zrobić, aby osiągnąć określony poziom w sporcie. Wiedziałem, co mam we mnie. Byłem już na płótnie. Zostałem ranny w walkach. Zostałem przecięty. Coś się wydarzyło i, wiesz, moja reakcja była zawsze taka sama, jeśli jestem fizycznie w stanie, Chcę to odzyskać. Mam też wspaniałego trenera, który jest moim ojcem chrzestnym. Widziałeś, jak zmienia bieg i wrzuca inny bieg, żeby powiedzieć mi, co chciałem usłyszeć. Nie panikował, ale miał poczucie pilności i powiedział mi to, co chciałem usłyszeć. Po prostu przypomniał mi o wszystkich wielkich, którzy mieli swój moment. I właśnie przypomniał mi, że tak [mój] za chwilę. A czasem w walkach, zwłaszcza w takich chwilach, to nie jest zbyt techniczne… to uczucie.

 

„Po stronie fizycznej, to Virgil miał zdolność przewidywania, kiedy byłem małym chłopcem. Widział, że mam wiele zdolności i umiejętności. Zawsze mi powtarzał, że nie patrzę na rzeczy [ja] dobrze, Patrzę, gdzie można cię pokonać. Powiedział, kiedy byłem 11, 12 (lub) 13 lat, „Jedynym stylem, który może sprawić Ci teraz kłopoty, jest buzz”.

 

„Dźgnięcie to dziś zagubiona sztuka. Umiejętne walki wewnętrzne to naprawdę stracona sztuka i wielu facetów nie chce tam być. Chcą cię w zasięgu. Chcą cię w określonym miejscu i jeśli nie mogą cię tam mieć, to widzisz zupełnie innego wojownika.

 

„Więc poza moją rodziną, Tak naprawdę nie miałem wielu byłych bojowników, do których mógłbym odebrać telefon i zadzwonić. Więc po prostu staram się być dostępny, mieć mój telefon pod ręką, i znajdź czas tam, gdzie muszę (dla niektórych młodszych wojowników). Poinformują Cię, o czym muszą porozmawiać i o czym chcą rozmawiać. Jeśli mam odpowiedź, Na pewno dam im wszystko, co tylko mogę. Jeśli nie, Postaram się pomóc im to znaleźć, bo koniec końców, czy to Claressa [Tarcze] lub Shakur [Stevenson], Jestem za wojownikiem. Jestem zawodowym wojownikiem. Rozmawiamy o [szkolenie] rzeczy, ale też bardziej chodzi o życie - bycie stabilnym i podejmowanie właściwych decyzji teraz, a potem w przyszłości, cieszysz się, że zrobiłeś to, co musiałeś zrobić. To zaszczyt i przywilej być kimś, kogo którykolwiek z tych wojowników chciałby odebrać i zadzwonić. Nie patrzę na to jak na ciężar. To zaszczyt i przywilej ”.

 

Virgil Hunter - trener Andre Warda

„Mieliśmy dobry obóz. Mieliśmy bardzo gładki obóz, tak, jak byś chciał. Czasami nie zawsze może się tak potoczyć, ale tym razem mamy szczęście, że wszystko się klika. Dobrze jest zobaczyć Andre na siłowni po czterech walkach i zobaczyć, jak powraca i coraz bliżej tego, kim naprawdę jest - nie tylko jako wojownik i wojownik oraz osoba, która ma w sobie dużo psa, ale także bardzo utalentowanego pięściarz. Nie mogę się doczekaćCzerwiec 17 i pozwól Andre mówić wieczorem lewą i prawą ręką.

 

"[Andre jest] profesjonalistą i przeszedł przez to przez 24 lat swojego życia. Musisz zrozumieć, że kiedy był na olimpiadzie, nie było go ze mną przez trzy miesiące. Więc jest profesjonalistą. Wie, co robić. Najmniej martwię się, że wyjeżdżam z miasta na tydzień. To część sportu. To część gry. A kiedy masz profesjonalistę takiego jak Andre, wiesz, nie martwisz się o te rzeczy.

 

„Cóż, przeciwnik na pewno nie zobaczy tego samego wojownika w tej walce z wielu powodów. Nie ma potrzeby ujawniania, ale zawsze wchodzimy z kilkoma planami lub jakimkolwiek planem, który musi zostać wdrożony w dowolnym momencie. Oczywiście, Nie mam zamiaru prosić go o zrobienie czegokolwiek, o czym wiem, że nie może zrobić, nad czym nie pracował lub nie ćwiczył, ale mamy szczęście, że możemy się dostosować, a także dostosować. Wierzę, że to, nad czym pracowaliśmy w Planie A, będzie więcej niż wystarczające.

 

„Amator jest wtedy, gdy jesteś na najwyższym poziomie i walczysz na najwyższym poziomie. Bierzesz udział w turniejach krajowych i często widzisz przeciwników więcej niż raz i więcej niż dwa razy. W pewnym sensie, [Inny] miał powtórki. Jeśli chodzi o ten rewanż, wszystko, co mogę powiedzieć, to „och chłopcze”. To wszystko, co mogę powiedzieć.

 

„Podczas pierwszego meczu nie było żadnego strachu ani niepokoju. Nie możesz tego mieć. Oczywiście, jesteś świadomy tego, co przynosi przeciwnik. We’re aware that you have a bigger opponent or a stronger opponent, an opponent that can punch. We’re aware of all that but we’ve been through that before. I mean when he fought in the Olympics at light heavyweight people don’t know or they never acknowledge the fact that he was only 170 funtów. Tak, he was giving up weight, height and size there. Tak, he’s used to it. He’s accustomed to it. And because of his physical strength and his stamina and his IQ he’s able to overcome all of these so-called advantages that the other fighter might have. Tak, once again we respect our opponent and we respect Kovalev on what he has done and what he’s capable of doing. And it’s a healthy respect but it’s not a respect that’s going to stop him from getting smashed Czerwiec 17.

 

“My job is to be in that realistic moment. Wiem [Inny] would embrace and understand what I was saying because it’s been between he and I, things we’ve talked about over the years many, many times. Sometimes you just have to put the strategy out the window and appeal to who you know that fighter is. And I know who he is.”

Josh Dubin – Advisor and Attorney of Andre Ward

“On behalf of James Prince and myself, I just want to thank everybody for participating in the call. We are extremely grateful for the support of HBO, all of our sponsors that have stepped up and of course, Roc Nation. At the risk of making Virgil a little bit more uncomfortable, I do feel like from top to bottom we just have the best team out there and certainly, the best trainer in the world. I feel blessed to be part of such a historic event. I know that on Czerwiec 17 you’re going to see magic in that ring and one of the best, if not the best ever, step into the ring to do his thing yet again.”

Michael R. Yormark – Roc Nation President & Chief of Branding and Strategy

"Oczywiście, Ward-Kovalev 2: “The Rematch” has the potential to be the fight of the year. As you have heard and as you’ve written these fighters don’t like each other. These fighters don’t have respect for one another and this obviously creates a lot of buzz, a lot of curiosity and a lot of anticipation for next week’s fight.

 

“As you’ve heard Andre state time and time again after this fight there will be no excuses. And without a doubt the winner of this fight will absolutely be the pound-for-pound king in the sport of boxing.”

Both fighters are preparing for championship defenses on the HBO Pay-Per-View telecast of Andre Ward vs. Siergiej Kowaliow 2: Włączony „The Rematch” Sobota, Czerwiec 17 w Mandalay Bay Events Center w Las Vegas. Rigondeaux will face interim WBA title holderMoises “Chucky” Flores (25-0, 17 KO), while Arias takes on rising prospect Arif “The Predator” Magomedov (18-1, 11 KO). Wydarzenie mistrzowskie, prezentowane przez Corona Extra, będzie produkowany i dystrybuowany na żywo przez HBO Pay-Per-View® od godz 9:00 p.m. I/6:00 p.m. PT.

 

Bojownicy postawili na pokazie, który obejmował walkę z cieniem, ciężka torba, praca z rękawicą i rozciąganie. Dołączył do nich łaciński artysta Roc Nation Victoria La Mala, kto będzie wykonawcą hymnu narodowego Czerwiec 17.

 

Poniżej przedstawiamy, co zawodnicy i La Mala mieli do powiedzenia podczas treningu medialnego:

Guillermo Rigondeaux, Mistrz świata WBA Super Bantamweight:

„Trening w Miami szedł znakomicie, przygotowywaliśmy się do wielkiej bitwy z Moisesem Floresem. Szanuję Chucky'ego, jest świetnym wojownikiem i są to rodzaje wielkich walk, które świetnie nadają się do boksu. Nie ma nic lepszego niż dwóch niepokonanych wojowników wystawiających swoje rekordy na szali.

 

„Flores przyjdzie przygotowany na walkę swojego życia, ja też. We never underestimate anyone and two undefeated warriors will be getting in the ring for an exciting fight on June 17.

 

“I have been constantly avoided by all the fighters in my division. I am the best in the world at 122 pounds and one of the top pound-for-pound fighters. I can’t wait to show the world that I am still the best. I thank Flores for having the courage to get in the ring with me unlike many top contenders that have avoided the challenge. Tune in Czerwiec 17 to watch two fighters bring all that they have to the ring. It’s going to be an exciting co-main event on this year’s biggest boxing card.

 

“I’m happy for the opportunity to be part of such a big Pay-Per-View event, one of the biggest anticipated fights of the year – Ward vs. Kowaliow 2. I’m very grateful to fight on such a big platform, and I want to let boxing fans know to expect nothing but an exciting fight. My opponents feel my power and run after the first round. Chucky Flores is a brave undefeated boxer that is coming with all he has, and we’re ready to show why each of us is the best come Czerwiec 17.

 

“I’ve had everyone in my division run away from any mentions of me in the ring with them. My team is first focused on the Flores fight, and we’re ready to come and fight the best names in my division so that we can give the fans what they pay big Pay-Per-View money for, big exciting fights.

 

“I’m grateful to be a part of such a close community here in Miami, FL especially my boxing family at Tropical Park Boxing Gym. Miami is my home and I have all the support with me down here. I’m thankful for all the support that my fans brought during my training camp here in Miami. We have been able to bring boxing back here in Miami and make a great impact on the community, especially all the families that come to the park.”

LUIS ARIAS, USBA Middleweight Champion:

 

"Czerwiec 17, I start cementing my name and legacy in this game! I’m ready to steal the show and prove that I stand amongst the best in the division.

 

“I’ve stepped up all levels of training. I train six days a week with two hours of boxing, one hour of strength and conditioning, and run 3.5 - 5 miles on average. I’m also working with one of the top nutritionists, Chris Alergi. He helps me with what to eat and how to monitor my weight. Can’t wait to show all of my progress on Czerwiec 17.

 

“My message to Magomedov is simple…I hope he comes ready. He better be doing ‘em sit-ups. Idę!

 

“When I step in the ring, it’s not just about getting a win anymore. It’s about winning and looking good. I’ve built up my record. Teraz, I’m looking to put on an A-class performance. That’s what is going to make me stand out.

 

“My goal for the second half of 2017 is to put myself in top ‘contender’ position for what is probably the most stacked division in professional boxing. GGG, Canelo, Lemieux…bring them on!"

 

VICTORIA LA MALA:

“It’s an honor to be singing the national anthem at such an anticipated boxing event. Being from a Mexican family, I grew up watching boxing and am a huge fan of Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. I can’t wait to cheer on my Roc family–Inny, Rigo and Luis–na Czerwiec 17."

WARD-KOVALEV 2: ZGŁOSZONY „THE REMATCH” Sobota, Czerwca 17, 2017 W CENTRUM WYDARZEŃ MANDALAY BAY, LAS VEGAS

PREZENTOWANE NA ŻYWO PRZEZ HBO PAY-PER-VIEW®

 

NEW YORK, Nowy Jork (Kwiecień 27, 2017) - USBA Middleweight Champion Luis "Kuba" Arias (17-0, 8 KO) and prime contender Arif “The Predator” Magomedov (18-1, 11 KO) will lead off the HBO Pay-Per-View lineup for Andre Ward vs. Siergiej Kowaliow 2: Włączony „The Rematch” Sobota, Czerwiec 17 w Mandalay Bay Events Center w Las Vegas. Wydarzenie mistrzowskie, prezentowane przez Corona Extra, will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View® począwszy od 9:00 p.m. I/6:00 p.m. PT.

 

Arias will be defending his title and undefeated record against one of the division’s top prospects. Magomedov has previously held the WBO’s Inter-Continental, Youth and NABO middleweight titles with only a single career loss coming against Andrew Hernandez for the vacant WBC USNBC middleweight title. Both fighters are eager to make an impression during their Las Vegas debut.

 

“Finally my opportunity has come. The road to the big stage has been long but it’s here and I’m ready. It’s time to prove to the world that I am a threat to anyone in this division. I have been saying it for some time, my record shows it, but now I’ll get the chance to prove it,” said Arias. “I’m coming to make a statement on Czerwiec 17! My opponent has been beat before and will be beat again. Thanks to Roc Nation Sports and my handlers for making this happen. A new star will be born.”

 

“My goal is to be a world champion. I have been waiting for a fight like this. Arias is a tough opponent but I will be ready for him,” said Magomedov. “I am so excited to work with my new trainer, Marco Contreras and to fight on HBO Pay-Per-View. Be ready for ‘The Predator’ on Czerwiec 17."

 

“If the heat between the Ward-Kovalev rivalry hasn’t been felt yet, then the cross promotional matchup of Roc Nation Sports’ Luis Arias and Main Events’ Arif Magomedov will certainly add fuel to the fire,” said Roc Nation President & Chief of Branding and Strategy Michael R. Yormark. “We are excited to have USBA Middleweight Champion Luis Arias make his Las Vegas debut and open the HBO Pay-Per-View telecast with a title defense on June 17 against Arif Magomedov.”

 

“Arif has been ready for this fight since the first Kovalev-Ward card in November. We are so pleased to finally give him this match-up,” said Main Events CEO Kathy Duva. “This is a huge opportunity for both Arif and Luis to test themselves on such a big stage. A win or a good showing by either fighter could catapult them in the rankings and put them on the map in this stacked middleweight division.”

 

USBA Middleweight Champion Luis "Kuba" Arias (17-0, 8 KO), 26, takes great pride in his Cuban heritage. The Milwaukee-native chose his nickname in homage to his father’s homeland and its people, honoring them each time he steps into the ring. A former USA junior amateur standout, Arias made his professional debut on November 10, 2012 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, Kalifornia, where he defeated Josh Thorpe via a four-round unanimous decision. Since joining Roc Nation Sports in February of 2015, Arias has advanced his undefeated record, paving way for his first title shot on August 20, 2016. In a homecoming at the Milwaukee Center, Arias captured the vacant USBA Middleweight title with a stoppage of Detroit’s Darryl Cunningham at the 1:11znak czwartej rundzie. Arias successfully defended his title on March 31, 2017 at the Carnegie Music Hall in Pittsburgh, winning a 10-round unanimous decision over Virginia’s Scott Sigmon. All three judges scored the fight 99-91 for Arias who put on a potent body punching display to settle a long-standing grudge with Sigmon.

Arif “The Predator” Magomedov (18-1, 11 KO), 24, is a middleweight from Kizlyar, Rosja. He made his professional debut in January of 2013 when he earned a decision win over Ruslan Sirazhev in Russia. Magomedov would go on to finish 2013 z hukiem, posting a record of 8-0 z 6 KOs and none of those six opponents made it past the third round. He made his US debut in April of 2015 when he unanimously outpointed tough journeyman Derrick Findley. W maju 2015, he earned one of the biggest wins of his career when he scored a first-round knockout over the always tough and durable Darnell Boone.

WARD-KOVALEV 2: ZGŁOSZONY „THE REMATCH” Sobota, Czerwca 17, 2017

W CENTRUM WYDARZEŃ MANDALAY BAY, LAS VEGAS

Jako żywe przez HBO pay-per-view®

 

NEW YORK, Nowy Jork (Kwiecień 19, 2017) - Reigning WBA World Super Bantamweight Champion Guillermo “El Chacal” Rigondeaux (17-0, 11 KO) will face WBA interim titleholder Moises “Chucky” Flores (25-0, 17 KO) in a long-awaited mandatory 12-round WBA title defense that will tarnish one fighter’s perfect record. Rigondeaux vs. Flores has officially been added to the Pay-Per-View undercard of Ward-Kovalev 2: “The Rematch” at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas on Sobota, Czerwiec 17. Wydarzenie mistrzowskie, prezentowane przez Corona Extra, will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View® począwszy od 9:00 p.m. I/6:00 p.m. PT.

 

“I would like to thank Roc Nation Sports, Caribe Promotions and HBO for the opportunity to fight on the biggest Pay-Per-View card of the year. It will be a night of great boxing that fans will not want to miss out on. It’s going to be a chance to show HBO what they want to see. Some say I’m not exciting but it’s not my fault that once my opponents feel my power, they start running and stop throwing punches. Regardless of that, I’m going to give them what they want. I will be standing in the middle of the ring toe-to-toe and putting on a show for the fans. This is where I’ll show the world what my fans got to see in my last fight in the UK against [James] Dickens,” said Rigondeaux. “I want to thank Moises Flores for having the courage to step in the ring with me and accepting the mandatory challenge unlike many great fighters in my division. Moises is an exciting Mexican fighter who will bring a fight. I will be ready to exhibit why I am one of the best pound-for-pound boxers and the world’s best at 122 funtów. I’m ready to give fans the best fight out there, and the best is to come the evening of Czerwiec 17."

 

“I’m very excited to have my world title fight with Guillermo Rigondeaux rescheduled for Sobota, Czerwiec 17 on HBO Pay-Per-View,” said Flores. “I’d like to thank my team at Probox Management and TGB Promotions along with HBO for providing this opportunity. I never stopped my preparations from the original date and look forward to making the Mexican fans proud when I defeat the great Rigondeaux.”

 

“Roc Nation Sports is thrilled to add Guillermo Rigondeaux’s championship defense against Moises Flores to the Pay-Per-View undercard of Ward-Kovalev 2: ‘The Rematch’,” said Roc Nation President & Chief of Branding and Strategy Michael R. Yormark. “We know these two champions are ready and eager to put on a big performance on boxing’s biggest stage and undoubtedly, ahead of the most anticipated fight of the year.”

 

“TGB Promotions is proud of this world title opportunity for Moises ‘Chucky’ Flores as he takes on one of the premier fighters in the sport, Guillermo Rigondeaux,- powiedział Tom Brown, Prezes TGB Promocje. “Chucky is well prepared and looking forward to making the Mexican fans proud of their new World Champion on Czerwiec 17."

 

Guillermo “El Chacal” Rigondeaux (17-0, 11 KO), was one of the most celebrated amateur boxers in Cuba before defecting and making his professional debut on May 22, 2009 w Miami, Floryda. High expectations had no ill effect on Rigondeaux as he tore through his next five opponents. Na listopada 13, 2010, in just his seventh pro fight, Rigondeaux faced Ricardo Cordoba for the vacant interim WBA World Super Bantamweight title and left the ring with the belt after scoring a split decision victory. Rigondeaux turned his attention to supremacy in the 122-pound division and accomplished what many considered the unthinkable by knocking out WBA World Super Bantamweight Champion Rico Ramos on January 20, 2012, becoming a world champion in fewer than 10 zawodowe ataki. W kwietniu 13, 2013 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, Rigondeaux scored his biggest victory to date by defeatingWBO and Ring Magazine World Champion and 2012 Fighter of the Year Nonito Donaire. Rigondeaux came away with the victory by unanimous decision after out landing and out punching Donaire throughout the fight to unify titles. In November of 2015, Roc Nation Sports announced that it had signed Rigondeaux to an exclusive promotional agreement and featured him on the HBO Pay-Per-View undercard of the Miguel Cotto vs. Canelo Alvarez mega-fight at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, where he defeated veteran Drian Francisco via a 10-round unanimous decision. Prior to beating Francisco, Rigondeaux was stripped of his title belts due to inactivity, but remained the WBA champion in recess. W maju 2016, Roc Nation Sports announced that Rigondeaux was reinstated of his WBA belt ahead of a 12-round WBA World Super Bantamweight championship showdown against number 13 rated WBA super bantamweight contender Jazza Dickens on Lipiec 16 at the Cardiff Ice Arena in Wales. In his first ever appearance in the United Kingdom, Rigondeaux gave fans a thrilling knockout against Dickens. The southpaw landed a big left hook, shattering Dickens’s jaw, halting the fight in the second round with a referee’s decision. Rigondeaux will be raring to go on Czerwiec 17 in his title defense against interim champion Moises Flores.

 

Moises “Chucky” Flores (25-0, 17 KO) learned the fight game growing up in Guadalajara, Meksyk, and spent the early years of his professional career building up his résumé in his home country. Now established as a title contender at 122 funtów, Flores looks to climb to the top of the division with his considerable talent. Flores is exceptionally tall for his weight class, measuring in at 5 feet 9 inches. Takie jak, he tends to have a reach advantage over most of his opponents, although Flores isn’t one to merely fire punches from a distance and box from the outside. He likes to mix it up, and his record reflects that, with most of his opponents going down by knockout. Flores made his pro debut in August 2008 with a second round knockout of Oswaldo Salgado in Guadalajara, Meksyk. He fought exclusively in Mexico over the first six years of his career and made quick work of most of his opponents. Flores made his U.S. debut in September 2014, winning a six round unanimous decision over Pablo Batres in Mesquite, Teksas. He then gained a seventh round technical knockout of Mexican veteran Mario Macias in Tulsa, Oklahoma, w listopadzie 2014. That victory set up a 122-pound title shot against interim WBA World Super Bantamweight Champion Oscar Escandon in Carson, Kalifornia, w kwietniu 2015. In an electrifying, all-action brawl, Flores earned a split decision to win the title. In his last two fights, Flores was able to defend the interim WBA World Super Bantamweight title against Luis Emanuel Cusolito, while also adding the IBO World Super Bantamweight title against Paulus Ambunda. Flores looks forward to claiming the full rights to the WBA World Super Bantamweight title on Czerwiec 17 when he faces current champion Guillermo Rigondeaux in a 12-round championship showdown.

Below is what the fighters and dais guests had to say at the press conference:

Andre „S.O.G.” Oddział - Mistrz świata zjednoczonej wagi półciężkiej

“I appreciate everybody for coming out today. It’s always good to be home in the Bay Area. It’s amazing how in a short time, eight, nine, dziesięć lat, we put the Bay on the map in terms of the boxing world. Oakland used to be a major fight town, and we got away from it. But through myself and many other young fighters, contenders who may not have had opportunities that I was afforded, we’re doing our part to continue to represent the Bay in a major way and that’s a beautiful thing.

 

“I’m excited about this rematch. These are the things I dreamed about as a kid. Uwielbiam to. I love the back and forth, some people being with me and some people not being with me. I don’t mind the stuff they talk about on social media. That’s perception. I try and deal in the reality.

 

"Pod koniec dnia, you’ve got to see me on Czerwiec 17, we’ve got to fight. I don’t care what you say, I don’t care what the team says. That’s going to make headlines. That’s all good and part of the business. I understand the business very well and I’m good with that. But if you guys know me – the boxing world knows me, the Bay Area knows me – I don’t have to do a lot of talking. To my young guys coming up, you don’t have to talk a lot. Just show up when you’re supposed to show up. Lock in and do what you got to do to prepare, and when it’s time in that biggest moment when the lights come on, find a way to get it done.

 

“Boxing right now is not like it used to be. It’s a climate right now where there’s a lot of talking. Guys don’t do what they say they’re going to do. They don’t perform and then they find excuses on why they didn’t perform. There’s only a handful of guys in history that I know that talked and then backed it up. We don’t have a lot of that today. Tak, it’s okay to not be the loudest talker in the room, but when it’s time to shine, be that guy. Be the hardest worker. And another thing, I want to encourage every fighter in this room – you don’t let anybody beat you before you get in the ring. I don’t care what you say, where you’re from, what your reputation is, it’s a healthy respect you have for an opponent to prepare physically and mentally, you got to have that. But you don’t let anybody – media, broadcasters, bojowników, anybody – beat you before you get in the ring. You make them earn it. And if they do it, tip your hat to them and give it credit. But you’re not beating me on reputations. This is the first time this team has met a team where that stuff isn’t working. You beat me, you’re going to earn it.

 

“I hope he’s the best he can be. I hope he makes the adjustments he’s supposed to make. We’re going to get ready. We’re not taking it for granted. That’s what big rematches and big fights are all about. I want the best Sergey. I want his team to be focused. I want him to be focused and I know my team is going to be focused. Let’s see what happens. The question I have for him and his team is, with all that loud talking, who are y’all trying to convince? Me or him?"

Sergey „Krusher” Kovalev - Były mistrz świata zjednoczonej wagi półciężkiej

“The other side is saying I have to prove a lot, I have to show a lot. I don’t need to prove or show anything. I showed and proved everything on Listopad 19. Anybody who hasn’t seen that or doesn’t think that, you’re going to see it on Czerwiec 17. This is what I promise and this is what I’m going to do. The ones who think about Andre Ward’s victory, you can still pray for him because I’m going to show it on Czerwiec 17. He got those belts somehow. Myślę Czerwiec 17 is going to be the day everybody’s going to see the way it’s supposed to be.”

Michael Yormark – Roc Nation President & Chief of Branding and Strategy

“Hello Oakland! We are so happy to be here today. Today is a truly special day for this community, for this city. Oakland is synonymous with hard work, toughness, loyalty and pride. Today the native son returns. A man who represents all of those characteristics will stand before you, and unlike many in the professional sports world, Andre Ward is here to fight for Oakland! The best boxer in the world, the face of his sport, the hero and icon of this historic town – he fights for you. He did so last November, when he staged an epic comeback against dangerous Sergey Kovalev, and emerged victorious. After Andre’s win, there was a lot of talk, a lot of debate, a lot of speculation, a lot of excuses. But Oakland doesn’t make excuses, Oakland doesn’t talk, Oakland acts.

 

“In one of his latest posts, Sergey said Andre ‘slaps like woman’. Grammatical issues aside, on behalf of all the strong Oakland women in the audience today I’d like to say ‘thank you Sergey for the compliment’. As someone who has spent the better part of the past three decades promoting sports and entertainment events, I’ll give Sergey a lot of credit – he had some great soundbites in New York yesterday. He said ‘Andre wears a crown’. Actually Sergey, they are belts, you should know, I think a couple of them used to be yours. He said he dislikes Andre – which brings the number of people here in Oakland today that dislike Andre up to a total of two: you and Kathy. But in all seriousness, the stakes could not be higher for this rematch and when Sergey says Andre ‘will not show up for this fight,’ that tells me he hasn’t done his research. Andre has built his career on shining brightest in the biggest moments. Czerwiec 17 is the biggest of moments – more than just wins and championship belts, this fight will ultimately dictate the fate of each fighter’s legacy.

“This is the type of fight that is decided by pride, guts, toughness, overcoming adversity, and who just wants it more. For Andre Ward, being raised by the city of Oakland is his ultimate advantage. He was born with incredible talent and ability, but Oakland gave him his toughness, his pride and his uncanny ability to stare down any challenge, and dominate it. Czerwiec 17 will be no different – at the end of the night there will be only one champion, and there will be no excuses.”

Kathy Duva – CEO of Main Events

“If Andre Ward is half as tough in the ring as his promoter talks, I suppose Sergey may have his hands full. But we are coming to Las Vegas in June and Sergey has one goal in mind and that is to make sure that the winner actually wins the fight this time.

 

“Sergey Kovalev is probably the biggest perfectionist I’ve ever met. I’ve seen him walk away from fights that he knocked his opponent out in two rounds, and then apologize for his performance. Everybody keeps talking about excuses on the other side, and nobody’s making any. He is blaming himself, he has apologized to his fans for not making that win emphatic enough so that people could not take it from him because, with all the respect in the world to Andre Ward, he didn’t win Sergey’s belts they were taken from Sergey.”

Jakub Książę – Manager of Andre Ward

“We’re excited about Czerwiec 17, as we were the past year when we took care of Goliath over here. We know what we had to do with them, a teraz Czerwiec 17 is right around the corner. I don’t know if Sergio’s manager repeated everything that Sergio was saying. It seemed to be a disconnection going on. I don’t know if he wanted to say what he was saying. I think they’re confused today as they’re going to be on Czerwiec 17 in the ring when he sees he can’t accomplish the things he wants to accomplish.

 

“I said it to him yesterday and I’ll reiterate it today. For some reason, I get the feeling that he thinks somebody is scared of him. Bullies think that way. He feels like he can say things and impose fear in men of God’s heart. I told him men of God, we don’t fear nothing because we know no weapon formed against us shall prosper. I know Andre Ward doesn’t need any help with him, with the threats he’s making and feeling like he wants to hit Andre Ward in his head. A word to the wise, to all that’s listening – do what you got to do in the ring, because you’re in a place that’s called town business. We don’t play those kinds of games outside of the ring. Let’s stay focused and attempt to try and hit him in the head in the ring, because you’re going to have problems with that. But you’ll have real big problems outside of the ring.

 

“Andre Ward’s team means something to him. When we speak, our words carry value. For you to get up here and act like what we’re saying doesn’t mean anything, maybe that’s how it goes on in Russia but in the United States of America we put value in what we say. Po raz kolejny, the United States of America shall be victorious on Czerwiec 17, and no weapons formed against us shall prosper.”

Egis klimat – Manager of Sergey Kovalev

“Talking is very, very cheap. Zaufaj mi, I’ve been in this business for a while, and I’ve seen it many times. Menedżerowie, trenerzy, promoters coming in and talking a lot of shit into the microphone. But then it comes to the night, these are the two men that are going to go in the ring, and they’re going to fight. Nothing to do with the promotion, nothing to do with the manager, nothing to do with the trainers. Trainers might be giving them the advice, but these two guys are going to survive.

 

“You can’t lie to the people’s eyes with what they saw on Listopad 19. I’m not going to talk about it. I’m not going to go there because it’s already history. Forget about it. I want everybody to see who’s going to be coming to Vegas on Czerwiec 17, what is going to happen. I want to thank everybody who’s involved in this fight and putting it together, HBO Pay-Per-View. I want to thank as always the media because without you guys nobody will know what happened here.”

Virgil Hunter – Trainer of Andre Ward

“It’s a good fight coming Czerwiec 17 against the most dangerous and most feared light heavyweight in the world, Sergey Kovalev against a lucky victorious man in Andre Ward. Tak, I guess this fight here will pretty much settle it. I think if you look at the realistic facts of it all, I think only Sergey’s been in the media talking. I think Mr. Klimas should understand that we haven’t said a word. The other side has talked about ending people’s careers to knocking you out to insulting God almighty. All that’s coming from this side so we understand what goes on and I think it’s a lot of doubt, it’s a lot of anger. I don’t see Coach Jackson here today and to be honest I don’t expect to see him Czerwiec 17 because you got to put the blame somewhere.

 

“I’m looking for a real good fight. Sergey Kovalev is definitely not underestimated. I don’t have a problem saying that before we fought I was a fan of his. I’m still a fan of his. I just won’t be a fan of his on Czerwiec 17. This is not me blowing smoke. I admire his skill. I always knew that if we came across each other that it was going to be a tough fight, difficult fight, and a fight of attrition. And I expect the same thing Czerwiec 17.

 

“I think Andre said it best when he said somebody’s will was going to be broke in that fight. But it would be nice to go into that without biting the hand that fed you. Everybody’s an expert from the reporters to the announcers when it comes to judging a fight. All of a sudden, they were all wrong that night. Tak, I think that’s an insult to what goes on in boxing. I think it wasn’t right. I think it was wrong particularly since HBO has built Sergey into the star that he rightfully is. Like I said before and I’ll say today, I’ll challenge anybody to sit with me and show me where he won the fight. He fought a hell of a fight because he’s a hell of a fighter, but he didn’t win the fight.

 

"Więc, I guess all of the answers will be answered Czerwiec 17. My advice is relax, don’t be uptight. You can’t drink year in and year out and expect at some point for it not to catch up to you and I would bet money that if we could go internally and see inside that that’s one of the causes that’s causing him to get fatigued now. It’s not the overtraining, it’s not this and it’s not that. It’s just guys are standing up and going 12 rounds now. But you can’t drink vodka year in and year out and expect on fight night to fight somebody like Andre.”

Tony Walker – Vice President, HBO Pay-Per-View

“On behalf of my Executive Vice President Peter Nelson and the rest of the staff at HBO I’d like to thank everybody for coming out to talk some big-time boxing today. Pierwszy, I want to thank Michael and Kathy and their staff at Roc Nation and Main Events.It’s not easy putting big time fights together no matter how much everybody wants it – and the fighters wanted it. The promoters worked and we have here Czerwiec 17 one of the biggest sporting events of the year.

 

“I would also like to thank, as Michael did, the community of Oakland. This has always been a boxing city. We have great viewership numbers from Oakland and the entire Bay Area no matter who seems to fight. Tak, we appreciate the support – we love the support you give Andre. A great home-grown guy in every way and we know that we’re going to do some big business here in the Oakland area and throughout the Bay Area for the fight.

 

“I would just like to say that the fight will be distributed by all the usual distributors, the cable, the satellite and telephone companies and I guarantee you a good picture, great sound, and a great broadcast that night for the suggested retail price of $54.95. We think we have the best broadcast team in the business and its going to be a fun night to gather friends and the family for a great sporting event.

 

“I would just say that when a lot is on the line, as there is in this fight, there’s drama – and there’s no better TV then when drama is involved. Tak, thank you very much and we hope if we don’t see you in Las Vegas hopefully you’ll get a chance to watch it on HBO Pay-Per-View.”

Below is what the fighters and dais guests had to say at the press conference:

Andre „S.O.G.” Oddział - Mistrz świata zjednoczonej wagi półciężkiej

“I want to thank everybody for coming out today – the media, oczywiście, HBO, Peter Nelson and their whole team, these guys work tirelessly to get these kinds of things done. I appreciate my team, Jakub Książę, Josh Dubin, Roc Nation and everyone at Roc Nation, JAY Z, Juan and Desiree Perez, Michael Yormark. It’s important to have a good team. We talk a lot about fighting, we talk all about matchups, but when we talk about support, it’s frowned upon. When we see fighters 10, 15, 20 years from now shuffling in a room, nothing to show what they fought for, to jest w porządku. By the grace of God and by way of my team, that’s not going to happen to me.

 

“Unfortunately, there’s perception and there’s reality. Perception is every one thing that’s written, every opinion but as you grow and learn this business, it’s not about perception. Nobody can point to a fight where I turned. Not one point. That’s not in my track record. Tak, I don’t mind the perception. I don’t care about Instagram. This is chess, not checkers. You can make all the rules you want to make, but it’s about the checkmate. That’s when the game is over.

 

“My team is working on life after boxing. Educating me on the ins and outs. A lot of people talk about money, but they don’t talk about the upside. They’re not talking about the personal sponsorships for the fight, and your obligations for the sponsorship. They’re not talking about the television rights and foreign rights, the merchandise. ‘Be tough, keep focus, destroy the fight’. I’m not with that man. I want the whole thing, I want to understand everything. The fight is not the end.

 

“They have to understand, there’s nothing scary about this man. You realize we just fought 12 rounds four months ago? Everyone wants to highlight the knockdown, that’s probably one of the most beautiful moments of my career. And did you guys see the other 10 Rundy? Nobody’s talking about that. But that’s what makes us who we are. It’s hard concrete down there, we don’t want to fall. We’ve got another drive, we’ve got another gear we’ve got to tap into when we hit adversity and hit the cannons. You guys saw that, in the biggest moment of my career.

 

“I didn’t get to where I’m at because there’s something unique about me. I didn’t get to this point by happenstance. Some may not like it, but you got to respect it. You don’t have to, but we’ve earned the position that we have. We don’t mind being understated. The fight is academic. When my team green-lighted it, I said go ahead and announce it. W rzeczywistości jest to, you’ve got to see me on Czerwiec 17. That’s the reality of the situation. I love to talk, it’s all good. We knocked heads for 12 Rundy, that’s the reality of the situation. He felt me, he knows. Na Czerwiec 17, that’s how we’re going to do. We’re going to get started a little early. Whether you’re with me, or whether you’re against me, tune in. Appreciate everybody’s time. Nie przegap tej walki, Czerwiec 17. You got what you asked for.”

Sergey „Krusher” Kovalev - Były mistrz świata zjednoczonej wagi półciężkiej

“Hello everyone. I am thankful the fight will take place on Czerwiec 17. Dobrze, will take place on paper for now. I’m appreciative of my team and Team Ward that this fight will actually happen. I want to apologize to my fans for my performance the last time but we’re going to get this squared either way. We’re going to see who is the best fighter. I’m very excited for Czerwiec 17. The only thing I hope is that a week or two before the fight, Andre Ward does not get injured and he has enough balls to come out and fight me on Czerwiec 17."

Michael Yormark – Roc Nation President & Chief of Branding and Strategy

“Legacies are built on seminal moments. When the lights shine brightest, when the challenge seems insurmountable, when the eyes of the world are on you – that is when great athletes see the rarest of opportunities to shape their legacy, to ensure that their name lives on. Evander Holyfield said, ‘a champion shows who he is by what he does when he’s tested’. Back in November the two best pound-for-pound fighters in the world tested each other like they had never been tested before in their careers. Tej nocy, World Champion Andre Ward faced a defining moment and countered with an epic comeback victory over Sergey Kovalev. After that showdown, there was a lot of talk, a lot of debate, a lot of speculation, a lot of excuses. Ale dalej Czerwiec 17 we put all of that talk to bed, because Ward-Kovalev 2: “The Rematch” is officially on, and from this day forward there will be no excuses.

 

“Andre Ward is the best boxer in the world – there is simply no debate. He is undefeated, breathlessly talented, and has gladly taken on any fighter with the guts to face him. For Andre, this fight represents the final nail in the coffin for the rest of this division and his would-be competitors, and the latest feat in a career that can only be defined as flawless. For Sergey, he has a lot to prove, which may be why he’s been so, let’s call it active on social media. After falling short in November, Sergey has become his own personal hype machine. In one of his latest tweets he demanded Andre, ‘pray to me’. Sergey, I think what you were trying to say was ‘pray for me’, which we all will do before you get back into the ring with Andre on Czerwiec 17.

 

“We return to Las Vegas where all big fights belong, live at the Mandalay Bay Events Center and on HBO Pay-Per-View. Roc Nation is proud to be the lead promoter of this global event, presented by Corona Extra and powered by Monster Products. This event would not have been possible without the support of Richard Sturm and Sid Greenfeig of MGM, and HBO’s Peter Nelson and Tony Walker – I’d like to take this opportunity to specifically thank them. MGM and HBO are synonymous with the biggest and best boxing events and Roc Nation is honored to be working in partnership with them for yet another historic fight. I’d also like to thank our chairman JAY Z and President of Roc Nation Sports Juan Perez for their support of this sure to be epic event. Dodatkowo, a big thank you to our presenting partner Corona Extra, as well as Monster Products. I would also like to acknowledge Le Parker Meridien for their support and hosting us here today. Despite what you read in some corners of the boxing world, this rematch was always inevitable, both fighters wanted it, both promoters wanted it and I would be remiss if I did not sincerely thank Main Events and Kathy and Nicole Duva for their professionalism and class in negotiating and finalizing the Czerwiec 17 walka. Last but certainly not least thank you to Team Ward – Andre, Jakub Książę, Josh Dubin and Virgil Hunter – not only for once again putting your unblemished, championship record on the line under the bright lights of Sin City, but for being incredible partners throughout this process and the best ambassadors the sport of boxing could possibly ask for. Thank you.”

Kathy Duva – CEO of Main Events

“Thank you, HBO, thank you Le Parker Meridien, Mandalay Bay and of course our sponsors, Corona and Monster. I’ll make it short and sweet. My greatest hope for Czerwiec 17 is that the winner wins this time. Sergey’s going to do everything in his power to make sure there’s no question on who that is.

 

“I expect he’s going to show us all how to get your titles back. And here he is, future light heavyweight champ of the world, Sergey Kovalev.”

Jakub Książę – Manager of Andre Ward

“I’d like to thank God for this opportunity, HBO, Peter Nelson. I’d like to thank Roc Nation, who has stood by us 1000%, solid as a Roc. We’re looking forward to this fight coming up, David versus Goliath, part two. Tak jak powiedziałem, the last time, and I reiterate the same thing because not much has changed, we’ve cracked the code. Sergey, your code has been cracked, we know who you are now. Jak na przykład Czerwiec 17, you will see one of the greatest fights ever. As I stated earlier in the interview with HBO, don’t be surprised if Kovalev gets knocked out this fight. Don’t you be surprised. Tak, we look forward to that moment and I notice that you’ve been real vocal about a lot of things, but you need to know, we don’t have no fear. Tak, understand that, ponownie, the United States will be victorious against Russia as always.”

Josh Dubin – Manager of Andre Ward

“This industry, niestety, has some nasty, ugly people in it that say and do nasty things and show their behind too much. A lot of the things you hear about our beautiful sport is true. I’m so fortunate to have been blessed by kings, that have enriched my life, to be able to grow and get to know these men. James Prince and Andre Ward have been all class and dignity and professional. They don’t need to tell you what you think might sell a fight, or what you think people might want to hear, but just what’s real. What a breath of fresh air. I thank both of you for enriching my life and allowing me to grow on this journey with you.

 

“We’re always hearing about role models, and why aren’t athletes role models – well look no further. You’ve got a family man who is spiritual, you can’t bait him and get him to say what you think he should say or want him to say because you curse him out on social media. We’re not into all that, these are kings over here. You can keep tweeting on your phone over there, but we won already. We won in life, we won in this sport, and we’re just going to continue winning. This is a formality at this point. A formality. Tak, you can cry and complain and all that, but that’s what bullies do when they don’t get their way. Bullies make excuses, bullies try to intimidate when they don’t get their way. Bullies of all sorts, in the ring and in business. Dobrze, you didn’t get your way, you ain’t getting your way and you’re not going to get your way. Period. The reason that probably is, if we bring in spirituality, is the moral arc of the universe does bend towards good and greatness and kings. Tak, with that, I say this: you want to tune in to this one, because you’ll want to be able to say, ‘I got to see the best fighter to ever walk in the ring, fight again and conquer again’. Nie przegap tego. Thank you.”

Daniel Bagdasarov – Egis Klimas’s Assistant

“I want to thank the media and MGM. He’s happy about the rematch and that it actually happened. We’re excited about it, we’re ready. Thank you to all the promotions that have gone into the fight, thank you HBO for making this happen. Thank you so much.”

Peter Nelson – Executive Vice President, HBO Sport

“I want to thank all the media for being here, this fight came together initially because of what you asked for. Przede wszystkim, I want to thank the fighters, Andre Ward and Sergey Kovalev. The two of them at the zenith of their careers and the apex of their undefeated records deciding to get in the ring against one another, and that’s exactly the expectation that fight fans should have. It’s something to be celebrated and we’re excited we are going to have the rematch on Czerwiec 17.

 

“Again, these two men decided they want to step up and fight each other, the controversy of time when a lot of fighters walk the other way from one another. Some fights, they’re so good, the fighters earn each other’s respect. Some fights are so great that the fighters earn each other’s disrespect. I’ll let all of you decide which one this is.

 

“I think that what we’ve seen over the past few months is people arguing more and more about who actually won that fight. Ponownie, the credit is to the fighters because every second of the first fight, they were there to compete. Every second of this rematch, they’re going to be there again. There is too much at stake, in terms of legacy and in terms of pound stature, in terms of this moment and the future. What we know to expect is that on Czerwiec 17, the stuff of HBO PPV legend gets made. Sergey Kovalev and champion Andre Ward are going to do everything in their power to bring home the belt.”

Znany z silnego charakteru i uczciwości poza ring, a jego instynkt wojownika w środku, 33-year-old Andre Ward’s skill and talent were apparent early in his outstanding amateur career. On zgarnął każdy tytuł w książkach, culminating in a gold medal in the light heavyweight division at the 2004 Igrzyska Olimpijskie w Atenach, Grecja. As the only male American boxer to claim Olympic gold in the past decade, Ward dołączył pokroju Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard i Oscar de la Hoya. Odwrócił się profesjonalnym grudnia 18, 2004, strzeleniu drugiej rundy TKO zwycięstwo nad Chris Molina w Staples Center w walce, która była na żywo w telewizji HBO. He has gone on to rack up an undefeated record since then, budowanie coraz większą rzeszę fanów w procesie. Po stając się mistrzem świata WBA Pierścień Magazine i Super średniej, rośnie na miejscu numer dwa na liście funt do funta i wygraniu 2011 Fighter of the Year (ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Pierścień Magazine oraz Stowarzyszenia Pisarzy Ameryki bokserskie), ogłoszono, że Ward podpisał umowę na wyłączność z Roc Nation promocyjne Sport w styczniu 2015, otwiera nowy rozdział w swojej karierze parterowy boksu. Ward returned to the ring on June 20, 2015 w Oracle Arena przed jego rodzinnym fanów w Oakland, Kalifornia i zdobył okrągły nokaut w dziewiątej nad Paul Smith. Marca 26, 2016, Ward made his highly publicized 175-pound debut against Cuba’s undefeated and IBF number one rated light heavyweight contender Sullivan Barrera and came out victorious. Ward continued his conquest of the light heavyweight division on August 6, 2016, with a unanimous decision over Alexander Brand. Immediately following the win, Ward announced that he will be taking on unified Light Heavyweight Champion Sergey Kovalev in the ultimate showdown for division supremacy and recognition as the best pound-for-pound fighter. In the most anticipated fight of 2016 na Listopad 19 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Ward would prove to the world his dominance as one of boxing’s top pound-for-pound fighters by becoming the unified World Light Heavyweight Champion with a unanimous decision win over Kovalev, the reigning WBA, IBF and WBO titleholder.

 

Siergiej „Krusher” Kovalev, the Russian Wrecking Ball, 34, is currently ranked #2 Pound-for-Pound by Ring Magazine and has been dominating boxing’s light heavyweight division with his aggressive, fan-friendly style since his breakout performance against then-unbeaten Nathan Cleverly in 2013 when he won the WBO Light Heavyweight World Title. One year after winning his WBO title Sergey went on to defeat future Hall-of-Famer Bernard “The Alien” Hopkins in a 12-round unanimous decision victory to add the WBA and IBF Light Heavyweight World Titles to his mantle. His rise to boxing stardom has been meteoric, as he has gone from an unknown fighter from Chelyabinsk, Russia to headlining HBO Pay-Per-View in just four years after signing with his first promoter, Najważniejsze wydarzenia. W swojej ostatniej walce, Kovalev went the distance against former two-time world champion Andre “SOG” Ward. The bout ended in a highly-contested unanimous decision against Sergey even though Kovalev managed to knock down Ward and many thought the cards should have gone in his favor. Out of Kovalev’s 30 zwycięstw kariery 26 have come by way of knockout. Dodatkowo, he has entered into championship rounds only three times in his professional career. Kovalev has always sought to test himself against the best boxing has to offer; he wants to prove in the ring that he deserves that mantle.
