WBC Heavyweight Championship Rematch Plus Leo Santa Cruz Seeks a Title in a Fourth Division Against Miguel Flores in Pay-Per-View Event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena

 i Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS(Oktober 22, 2019) – Undefeated stigande stjärnaBrandon “The Heartbreaker” Figueroawill make the first defense of his WBA Super Bantamweight Titleagainst former championJuli Ceja while undefeated Mexican power-puncherLuis NerystriderEmmanuel Rodriguezin a matchup of former bantamweight champions on Saturday, November 23 in FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View action live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The pay-per-view event is headlined by boxing’s longest reigning heavyweight world championDeontay “Brons Bomber” Wilderdefending his WBC title in a rematch against once-beaten Cuban sluggerLuis “King Kong” Ortiz. Three-division champion“Jordskalv” Santa Cruz will seek a title in another division in the co-main event when he takes onMiguel “El Michoacan” Blommor for the WBA Super Featherweight Championship as part of the pay-per-view action beginning at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

“With these two all-action matchups added, the November 23 card is shaping up to deliver another memorable night of excitement on FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View,” sa Tom Brown, VD för TGB Promotions. “In addition to the Wilder vs. Ortiz rematch and the Santa Cruz vs. Flores title fight, one of the 122-pound division’s hottest young stars Brandon Figueroa will make his first title defense against a very tough opponent in former champion Julio Ceja. Rounding out the night is Mexican knockout artist Luis Nery and tough former champion Emmanuel Rodríguez, who will be sure to kick off the pay-per-view in style with another classic in the Mexico vs. Puerto Rico rivalry.”

Biljetter till evenemanget, which is promoted by BombZquad Promotions, TGB Promotions and Mayweather Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased atwww.mgmgrand.com ellerwww.axs.com.

The 22-year-old Figueroa (20-0, 15 Kos) will look to make the first defense of his super bantamweight championship in his fourth fight of 2019. He knocked out Moises Flores in January on FS1 and won an interim super bantamweight title in April on FOX by stopping Yonfrez Parejo. Representing Weslaco, Texas, Brandon, the younger brother of former world champion Omar, has a seven-fight knockout streak that he brings into the ring on November 23, having most recently stopped Javier Nicolas Chacon with an exciting fourth-round knockout in an FS1 main event in August. He was subsequently elevated to full champion by the WBA.

“This is probably going to be the biggest test of my career in the first defense of my title against a solid fighter like Ceja,” Said Figueroa. “To be fighting on pay-per-view of the Wilder-Ortiz II undercard at MGM Grand is a dream come true. I’ve been working towards this moment my whole life. I attended Pacquiao vs. Thurman in July and the crowd was electric that night. I told myself while watching that fight ringside that I couldn’t wait to fight at MGM on a similar card, and now look at where we are. Ceja might have lost against Rigondeaux, but he put on a great fight and I know he’s going to come forward and brawl with me on November 23.”

Fighting out of Tlalnepantla, Mexiko, Ögonbryn (32-4, 28 Kos) will look to rebound from a loss to Guillermo Rigondeaux on FOX in June, when he was stopped in round eight while leading on all three judges’ styrkort. The 26-year-old knocked out Hugo Ruiz in 2015 to win an interim title before eventually being elevated to the full champion. While he lost the rematch to Ruiz, Ceja put together wins in two of his next three fights heading into the Rigondeaux bout.

“This is a great opportunity and I plan to win the world title again on November 23,” said Ceja. “I know what it takes to win and I will have the best training of my career for this fight. I hope Brandon Figueroa is prepared for fireworks. This title is coming back to Mexico for my country, my pride and my people.”

Nery (30-0, 24 Kos) is a power puncher who has stopped his last 11 motståndare och 15 av hans sista 16. The 24-year-old southpaw from Tijuana, Mexico will be making his third appearance on a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View this year. He scored a dominant stoppage victory over McJoe Arroyo on the March event in Arlington, Texas and returned on the July 20 show to stop former champion Juan Carlos Payano. He scored a TKO victory over Shinsuke Yamanaka to win the bantamweight world title in 2018.

“I’m excited for another opportunity to perform on the biggest stage and show that I’m the best bantamweight in the world,” said Nery. “Rodríguez is a tough competitor and he will help bring out my best on November 23. Mexico and Puerto Rico have a storied rivalry in this sport and I intend to make my mark in history with a spectacular win.”

The 27-year-old Rodríguez (19-1, 12 Kos) will also look to put himself back in position to reclaim a 118-pound belt with a statement win on November 23. Fighting out of Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, Rodríguez won the IBF Bantamweight World Title with a unanimous decision victory over Paul Butler in 2018 and defended it successfully against then-unbeaten Jason Moloney. He most recently was stopped by unbeaten champion Naoya Inoue in their May title bout.

“Switching opponents is no problem for me since we always train for different fighting styles,” said Rodríguez, who had previously been scheduled to face former champion Rau’shee Warren before Warren withdrew due to injury. “My Puerto Rican and Mexican people want to see a great fight and that’s what they will have on November 23. I know what Nery brings to the table and I’m ready for that. We are confident in victory and that in 2020 I will be crowned world champion again.”

“I’ve been fighting grown men since I was in the amateurs. My father and brother have always instilled it in me to not fear any opposition. I’ve never said no to any fight, that’s just the way we were raised. I’m fearless.

“I just have to keep doing what I’m doing, which is fight. I have a lot of passion for boxing and I want to put my hometown on the map. It’s about being an inspiration for kids inside and outside of the ring.

CARSON, CALIF. (April 20, 2019) – Tidigare mästare i två divisioner Danny “Swift” Garcia (35-2, 21 Kos) tappade Adrian Granados (20-7-2, 14 Kos) Tre gånger innan han stoppade honom i omgången Seven Saturday Night i en weltervikt -showdown som rubrikerade boxmästare på Fox och Fox Deportes från Dignity Health Sports Park i Carson, Kalifornien.

“Jag har sagt det tidigare, När Danny Garcia är bäst, Ingen kan slå honom,” Said Garcia. “Jag hade blivit lite bekväm tidigare, Men jag satte min 110 procent i denna kamp och när jag gör det, Jag slog alla.”

Garcia började sitt brott tidigt, Avleda en höger hand från granados i omgång två och kasta en perfekt vänsterkrokräknare som tappade granados för första gången i kampen. Granados fortsatte att trycka och försökte förändra tidvattnet, Men en överhand i slutet av ett utbyte av Garcia skickade Granados ner för andra gången i omgång två.

“Det kändes bra landning den stora vänsterkroken,” Said Garcia. “Jag var stolt över min prestation. Jag trodde att jag gjorde ett bra jobb ikväll.”

“Han var väldigt skarp i utbytena,” sa granados. “Det var där han fångade mig. Jag visste att det var vad jag var tvungen att undvika. Men segheten i mig är alltid redo att gå. Jag var villig att engagera mig.”

Granados försökte hitta sätt att bromsa Garcias momentum, Men medan han försökte tränga Garcia fångades han alltför ofta med power -stansar på insidan. Rund fyra såg granados börja blöda tungt från näsan och i omgång fem tappades granados för tredje gången, Den här gången från en kombination levererades Garcia medan han hade granados på repen.

“Sättet att göra ett uttalande ikväll var att stoppa honom,” Said Garcia. “Spelplanen var att bryta ner honom. Jag har för många verktyg. Jag kunde inte låta honom hänga med mig.

“Han ville komma närmare mig och göra det till en hundkamp. Men jag förvånade honom när jag stod med honom och slog till kroppen. Sedan började jag få honom att sakna och det var när jag stoppade honom.”

I omgång sju, Garcia landade 48% av hans maktslag enligt Compubox, Och efter att ha surrat honom flera gånger, släppte en flurry medan granados var på repen som tvingade domaren Thomas Taylor att stoppa anfallet 1:33 in i omgången sju.

“Han fångade mig med några bra bilder men jag tyckte verkligen att jag hade det bra,” sa granados. “Jag tror att domaren var lite överskyddande. Jag hade en plan att gå hela kampen och de stoppade mig på mina fötter. Jag fångade fortfarande honom med skott. Jag var fortfarande farlig och letade efter ett stort skott för att ändra kampen. Domaren var dock tvungen att göra sitt jobb och jag förstår det.”

Med segern, Garcia kommer att leta efter fler stora slagsmål med andra elit welterweights.

“Jag hoppas att jag inte skrämde Manny Pacquiao bort,” Said Garcia. “Jag skulle älska en ommatch med Shawn Porter eller Keith Thurman, eller en kamp med Errol Spence Jr. Jag är tillbaka!”
Co-Main-evenemanget innehöll tungviktstävling och södra Kalifornien fan-favoritAndy “Jagaren” Ruiz Jr. (32-1, 21 Kos) Sätt över en TKO -segerAlexander Dimitrenko (41-5, 26 Kos) Efter fem omgångar i deras tungviktshowdown.

Ruiz blinkade den exceptionella handhastigheten som har definierat hans karriär, landar hårda kombinationer till huvudet och kroppen på den högre Dimitrenko. Ruiz förföljde Dimitrenko, Kontrollera ringens centrum och plocka sina fläckar för att lossa.

“Han började sakta ner och jag kunde se ansiktet han gjorde när jag slog honom med kroppsskott,” sa Ruiz. “Jag stannade bara disciplinerad och fokuserad. Jag kunde inte bli för orolig. Jag ville bara bryta ner honom tills trädet föll ner.”

Dimitrenko försökte använda sin jab för att hålla Ruiz i fjärd och kunde orsaka en bälte under Ruizs högra öga när de tidiga omgångarna fortsatte. Det räckte inte för att hindra Ruiz från att komma fram och i omgång fem började han höja straffet, Punkterad med hårda högerkrokar som knäppte Dimitrenkos huvud tillbaka.

“Vi arbetade med att glida hans högra hand och komma tillbaka med min egen,” sa Ruiz. “Jag saknade med några av dem men jag var upptagen. Jag fokuserade på att bara få jobbet gjort.”

Efter den femte omgången, Och på råd från Dimitrenkos hörn, Domaren Ray Corona stoppade anfallet innan omgången sex kunde påbörjas. Ruiz var bekvämt framåt på alla tre resultatkorten och satte sin syn på en annan topp tungviktsutmanare för sin möjliga nästa motståndare.

“För min nästa kamp finns det någon som jag, en knubbig spännande fighter jag vill ha,” sa Ruiz. “Adam Kownecki Jag är redo, Låt oss göra det här.”

Öppningskampen på Fox såg obesegrad topp utmanare Brandon “Hjärtekrossare” Figueroa (19-0, 14 Kos) Tjäna interims WBA Super Bantamweight -titel genom att stoppaYonfrez parejo (22-4-1, 11 Kos) Efter åtta omgångar. PareJo svarade inte på klockan för omgång nio, tvinga domaren Jerry Cantu att stoppa anfallet medan PareJo var i hörnet.

“Detta är en fantastisk känsla och en dröm går i uppfyllelse,” Said Figueroa. “Jag kan inte vänta på vad som kommer nästa. Jag trodde att jag skulle avsluta honom nästa omgång. Han hade hållit ganska bra men när jag hade lagt upp trycket till en annan nivå, Jag visste att han inte skulle kunna fortsätta.”

Den 22-åriga Figueroa använde sitt signaturtryck tidigt och ofta, Walking Through Effecture Shots Parejo landade i de tidiga omgångarna för att etablera sin position i kampen. Parejo hade framgångslandskrokar medan Figueroa exponerades på insidan, men kunde inte undvika returbranden, särskilt kroppsskott som så småningom ledde till slutet av kampen.

“Han kastade många starka bilder till kroppen och jag kände att benen skulle gå i slutet av den sista omgången,” sa Parejo.”Han är väldigt stark men ibland plattfot och jag försökte dra nytta av det. Han var för stark ikväll.”

Figueroa började kasta ännu fler kombinationer i de sena omgångarna, ogiltigförklarade det brott som Parejo försökte komma igång. Hans mest produktiva omgångar var rundor fyra och fem, där han landade 31 och 41 Power stans respektive. Efter en ensidig omgång åtta där Figueroa ut landade Parejo 33 till 15, Det hade blivit tydligt att PareJo inte hade tillräckligt med sina stansar för att stoppa angreppet. Domaren stoppade anfallet efter att ha konsulterat med Parejo före den nionde omgången, Officiellt ger Figueroa segern.

“Min konditionering var fantastisk och jag kände mig stark varje omgång,” Said Figueroa. “Jag är nästa i rad och jag är redo för alla.”


Efter kortet på Fox, PBC Fight Night Extra på FS1 och Fox Deportes leddes av Jeison Rosario (19-1-1, 13 Kos) vinner en delad beslut över Jorge Cota (28-3, 25 Kos) med massor av 97-93 för COTA och 96-94 och 97-93 För Rosario i en 10-rundad super weltervikt


FS1-delen startade med högt beprövad prospekt Rolando “Rollie” Romero (9-0, 8 Kos) slå ut Andres Figueroa (9-5, 5 Kos) 1:27 till omgång fyra av deras lätta kamp. Stigande obesegrade och 2016 US. Olympian Karlos Balderas (8-0, 7 Kos) förblev perfekt genom att stoppa Luis kan (21-14-1, 8 Kos) vid 1:07 av runda fyra i sin lätta strid och superlätt prospekt Omar Juarez (3-0, 1 KO)fick ett enhälligt beslut av massor av 40-36 två gånger och 39-37 efter fyra omgångar motDwayne Bonds (3-2-1, 1 KO).

Här är vad kämparna hade att säga onsdag från Churchill Boxing Club i Santa Monica:

DANNY GARCIA

“Jag kämpade på den här arenan när jag var 6-0 Så det är spännande att vara tillbaka. Jag vann också välviktstiteln mot Robert Guerrero i Los Angeles. L.A.. har alltid varit bra för mig. Det finns en fantastisk atmosfär och jag älskar att slåss här.

“Jag är redo för någon, Men jag ser inte heller förbi granados. Vid slutet av dagen, Jag måste fokusera på lördagskvällen. Jag måste få den här segern.

“Det finns mycket på spel, Så jag vet att granados kommer att vara redo. Jag tränade hårt och jag tror att jag är i den bästa formen i mitt liv. Jag tror att jag är i bättre form nu än mina två sista slagsmål. Jag kan inte vänta med att visa det på lördag kväll.

“Du tittar på Danny Garcia -slagsmål Du vet att jag alltid svänger och försöker slå ut människor. Förvänta dig en annan sakkamp på lördag.

“Jag vet vad Granados tar med sig till bordet, Men jag tror på mina färdigheter och det hårda arbete vi lägger in i lägret. Planen är naturligtvis att få en knockout och se spektakulär ut, Men jag är mer än redo att gå 12 hårda rundor.”

ADRIAN GRANADOS

“Detta är en klassiker i en tillverkning. Vi kommer att sätta på en show. Jag känner stor. Vi har stängt ut lägret precis rätt och vi är redo att rocka och rulla på lördag.

“Det finns många utmaningar i denna kamp. Jag måste gå ut för att dominera och ta kampen bort från honom. Danny är en stor kämpe och det finns en anledning till att han är ett stort namn i sporten. Detta är en möjlighet som jag kommer att dra nytta av.

“Jag blev inte förvånad över att Shawn Porter sa att jag var en tuffare kamp än Danny Garcia. Jag tittade på båda slagsmål och du kunde se i slutet att jag hade Shawn igång för överlevnad. Han gjorde vad han var tvungen att göra för att fly, Men för den här kampen tar jag ut den från någon annans händer.

“Jag tror inte att Danny ser förbi mig, Men jag vet att han har större planer. Jag är här för att avbryta dessa planer. Jag har mina egna planer. Jag kommer att katapultera mig själv där jag hör hemma och var jag borde ha varit.

“Mina föräldrar arbetade så hårt för att sätta mig på rätt väg. Jag engagerade mig i sport som barn och såg aldrig tillbaka. Jag var alltid fokuserad på min sport och studier. Frestelserna var där i Chicago. Jag stannade tro mot mig själv och nu är jag på en plats där många människor ser upp till mig. Om jag vinner på lördag kan det visa att allt är möjligt.”

Andy Ruiz Jr.

“Detta kommer att bli min fjärde kamp på denna plats. Jag har fått en knockout varje gång, Så jag tycker att det är en lycka arena för mig. Jag har haft bakslag, Men jag är redo för mitt comeback.

“Jag har tränat hårt för den här kampen för att göra ett uttalande. Jag är glad att få den här vinsten och göra det eftertryckligt.

“Dimitrenko är en veterankämpe och jag vet att jag inte kan ta honom lätt. Vi kommer att vara redo och kan den bästa mannen vinna. Jag är redo att ta på mig alla utmanare.

“Jag behöver bara hålla mig lös och låta mina händer gå. Jag ska visa vilken typ av kämpe som jag är. Min hastighet och hur jag använder ringen kommer att vara en nyckel.

“Jag har sett Dimitrenkos slagsmål, Och jag vet att jag bara måste göra vad jag måste göra. Jag tycker att det är svårare för honom att slåss mot en mindre kille som jag, Särskilt en med hastighet och som kastar kombinationer.”

Alexander Dimitrenko

“Detta är en viktig kamp för mig och jag är här för att vinna. Det här är inget nytt för mig. Mitt jobb är att komma hit för en fantastisk prestation. Jag har varit proffs länge och jag är redo för lördag.

“Jag har mer erfarenhet av stora slagsmål än Ruiz. Jag kommer att ge mitt bästa i den här kampen. Det finns inget tryck på mig och jag känner mig avslappnad och redo för krig.

“Min sista kamp mot Bryant Jennings slutade med ett dåligt stopp och jag vill radera det minnet. En vinst på lördag är viktig för mig och jag ser inte förbi den. Jag måste göra mitt jobb och vi får se vad som händer efter det.

“Det här är min första gång i Los Angeles, Jag har fått njuta av vädret lite men det är allt affärer. Jag är fokuserad på att slåss på lördag, Det har varit målet hela lägret och vi leder fram till en fantastisk show på lördag.”

BRANDON FIGUEROA

“Det här är ett ögonblick jag har väntat på sedan jag var liten. Möjligheten är här, Jag är redo och jag kan inte vänta med att ta det.

“Jag hade ett riktigt bra träningsläger. Min kropp är redo fysiskt och mentalt. Jag vet att PareJo är en riktigt bra fighter som kommer att försöka boxa mig. Jag känner att jag en gång satte trycket på honom, Jag kommer att kunna dominera honom.

“Jag tror att Parejo har svagheter på sitt inre spel, Vilket är något jag är riktigt bra på. Jag känner för mina senaste slagsmål har jag använt det för att dominera mina motståndare.

“Det här är min tid att lysa. Jag hade ett riktigt bra träningsläger och jag är här för att dra nytta av denna möjlighet. Jag är bara 22-årig och jag har arbetat riktigt hårt för att komma dit jag är just nu.”

Here is what the workout participants had to say Thursday from Fortune Gym in Los Angeles:

ADRIAN GRANADOS

“Jag känner stor. I’m starting to peak and everything is clicking. I had a great camp and I’m just excited for this fight.

“This is a great style matchup. Danny is a strong puncher and a great counter puncher. Jag kommer att vara där. I’m going to come with it. I also have a lot of intangibles that people don’t see. I’m not one-dimensional and I have a few tricks up my sleeve.

“I think I have more dog in me than Danny does. He complains a lot and also gets away with a lot. He does what he has to do to win. I’ve never been given anything and I think I have a lot more to prove than he does.

“My fights against Shawn Porter and Adrien Broner were good preparation for this. I think against Broner I should have gotten the decision, but I didn’t. Against Porter, I fought the wrong fight and missed the chance I did have. I’ve got a chip on my shoulder from both experiences.

“This is my chance to show the boxing world that I’m elite and get my title shot. I’ve always wanted to become a world champion, and I haven’t got my opportunity at 140 where I beat the number-one contender. I’m not afraid to fight anyone so I’m here to get a big win.

“I think I need a stoppage or a dominating win. It has to be one-sided. I have enough controversial losses that I know that I can’t leave it up to the judges. I’m training hard to dominate the fight.

“I’m kind of a ‘young vet’ because I’m only 29-years-old but I’m battle-tested. I was never promoted until the last three or four years. I’ve had to do what I had to coming up. I took the tough fights that most prospects wouldn’t.

“I always knew I had the talent to be at this level and I’m glad that I’m respected and recognized now, but it’s time for me to get a big win. I’m going to show that I really belong and I’m an elite fighter.”

Andy Ruiz Jr.

“All the hard work in the gym has been paying off and I feel prepared for April 20. I’m facing an experienced guy who’s tall, but I think my pressure and my speed will make it difficult for him.

“We’ve looked at Dimitrenko’s past fights and put together a game plan. We’re going to stick to it and execute. We’re going to attack the body and I think with my speed and combinations I’m going to get him out of there.

“I’m coming back from a layoff but it’s over and right now my goal is to make a statement and let everyone know that I’m back in action. I’m ready to take one of the spots at the top of the division.

“There are a lot of big fights I want, but my mind is totally focused on April 20. I’ve never been this motivated. I’m going to be fighting more often and I’m glad to have the opportunity.

“Fighting for the Mexican fans gives me more motivation now than ever. I want to be the first Mexican heavyweight champion of the world and hopefully this year or next year I will accomplish those dreams.

“I have everything I need now to get to where I want to go. Det här är bara början. The more fights I have, the better I’m going to be looking.

“It feels great to be fighting in Southern California and I know there will be a lot of Mexicans out there on April 20. It’s always a great atmosphere and my game plan is to steal the show. I’m going to give it all I got for the fans.

“I think Dimitrenko is going to use his jab and move around. Han är lång, but he can’t run away forever. At some point you have to be there toe-to-toe. We’ve worked on our head movement and we’re going to be ready for anything he brings.”

Tom Brown, VD för TGB Promotions

“Andy Ruiz Jr. is exactly where he should be right now. He’s re-dedicated himself to the sport of boxing and when he does, there might not be a better heavyweight out there. He traveled to New Zealand and took on Joseph Parker in his backyard and lost a majority decision. He’s tasted it and he’s hungry for it again.

“Arguably Adrian Granados could have a record of 27-1 and he’s ready for his moment to shine. I like where he’s at mentally as far as taking charge and winning these fights so he can move on and become a champion, which has been his goal since he got into the game.”

LOS ANGELES (Mars 19, 2019) – Tidigare mästare två division världen Danny “Swift” Garcia and veteran contender Adrian Granados previewed their Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes main event showdown at a press conference in Los Angeles Tuesday as they prepare to square-off Saturday, April 20 Från Dignity Health Sports Park i Carson, Kalifornien.

april 20 broadcast begins at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT and features heavyweight contender Andy Ruiz Jr. tar på Alexander Dimitrenko in a 10-round bout in the co-feature and unbeaten contender Brandon Figueroa battling Venezuela’s Yonfrez parejo in a 12-round match for the WBA Interim Super Bantamweight title.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Tuesday from the Palms Restaurant Downtown L.A.:

DANNY GARCIA

“I’ve been training hard. I’ve seen Granados fight a few times and I know what he can do. I’m excited to be back in Los Angeles, because this is where the stars fight. This is another fight that can get me to where I want to go in my career.

“My mentality is that I have to stop Granados. Nobody has stopped him and I have to do that to make a statement. He’s never fought a counter puncher like me and I’m definitely the hardest puncher he’s faced. I’m going to showcase everything to get the stoppage.

“This is another fight for my legacy. There have been a lot of great fights in my career and this is another important one for me. I know he’s coming to fight, but I’m looking to make this one of my easiest wins.

“He’s a tough and aggressive fighter who likes to throw a lot of punches. Han är hungrig, and that’s the type of guy that you have to watch out for. I’ve got to handle my business against Granados before I look to any bigger fights.

“This is a big platform for me to perform on. I’m going to show the world why I’m one of the best fighters in the world.

“I plan on winning with style. I’m going to bring a lot of skill, a lot of will, a lot of power and I’m going to entertain my fans. April 20 will be the ‘Danny Garcia Show.'”

ADRIAN GRANADOS

“Detta kommer att bli en stor kamp. We’re two fighters who bring it. I’m coming for a victory in dominating fashion. This is the fight that I’ve wanted for a while now.

“I haven’t had the easiest road and that’s why I’m looking to get my respect in this fight. I’m looking forward to this. It’s going to be a barnburner. Må bäste man vinna.

“If he’s underestimating me it will definitely be a big mistake on his part. I don’t think he will though. I think he realizes now he’s in for a fight. If he didn’t know me before, he does now. I’m going to give him a piece of my mind April 20.

“I was never taken care of coming up. I always had to work harder to get to where I’m at. Danny and I basically had the same accolades in the amateurs, and I always gave him kudos for what he’s done in his whole career, but he doesn’t know what I’ve gotten through to get here.

“I’m coming to get my respect in this fight. I’m going to make Danny fight and see what he’s made of. I’ve always had a chip on my shoulder but being able to take out a fighter like Danny is motivating me to another level.”

Tom Brown, VD för TGB Promotions

“Premier Boxing Champions has made a major commitment to bringing some of the best and biggest fights to Southern California. We started with the Wilder vs. Fury heavyweight title fight downtown in December and we’re back again in April at the Dignity Health Sports Park. This is the premier outdoor boxing venue in the United States and we have a great show there on April 20.

“Danny Garcia is a throwback fighter. A first-ballot Hall of Famer in my opinion. At 140-pounds he took on the best in the division and never backed down from a challenge. Danny was a 2-1 underdog when he fought Lucas Matthysse, and we knew what happened after, he proved the doubters wrong. I’m so excited to have him back in California on this great card.

“Adrian Granados could arguably be sitting up here with a record of 27-1, since all but one of his losses have been by split or majority decision, and usually it’s in his opponent’s backyard. He’s a battle-tested veteran who’s made a name for himself bringing action-packed fights to the fans. When we announced all the PBC on FOX fights, this is the one that I circled.”

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO of President of Mayweather Promotions

“Detta kommer att bli en fantastisk kamp. I’ve really been looking forward to this fight because I’ve known these guys for a long time. Styles make fights and in this particular matchup, we have two fighters who are all action.

“Danny has shown that he’s an elite fighter, because he’s beaten a number of great world champions. Adrian Granados always comes to fight. He’s never ever in a boring fight. The styles mesh so well, with Danny being a world class counter-puncher and also being a superb boxer. Granados is going to force Danny to fight on the inside a lot more than usual.

“I think this fight is going to bring the best out of both Danny and Adrian. They’ve both fought a number of very good fighters and been in involved in numerous debatable decisions. They’re going to have to leave it all in the ring come April 20.”

CARSON, CALIF. (Mars 7, 2019) – Tidigare mästare två division världen Danny “Swift” Garcia will battle hard-hitting veteran Adrian Granados in a 12-round welterweight bout that will headline the live prime time event presented by Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes on Saturday, April 20 Från värdighetsparken Dignity Health Sports (tidigare StubHub Center) i Carson, Kalifornien.

“Danny Garcia is one of the preeminent boxers of this generation,” sa Tom Brown, VD för TGB Promotions. “He’s a champion through and through. His resume is a veritable ‘Who’s Who?’ of the best at 140 och 147 pounds over the last 10 år. He’s hungry to get his title back and he’s willing to go through anyone to do that. Adrian Granados is a tough competitor looking to join the championship ranks and Danny represents the most direct route. It’s the kind of clash that makes for entertaining matches. The fans at Dignity Health Sports Park and watching on FOX and FOX Deportes on April 20 are in for a treat.” 

“Danny Garcia knows that he¹s going to have to be on his A-game, as a victory over Adrian Granados puts him back in position to regain his welterweight championship,” säger Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions. “Adrian Granados is a fighter thatalways comes to put on exciting fights and holds nothing back against his opponents. The action leading up to the main event is sure to be crowd pleasers. I expect the fans in attendance to bring the energy to Dignity Health Sports Park and those tuning in on FOX and FOX Deportes will be fully entertained as well.”

Garcia (34-2, 20 Kos) has fought and defeated many of the most formidable opponents at 140 and 147-pounds spanning two generations-Erik Morales, Zab Judah, Kendall Holt, Amir Khan, Lucas Matthysse, Paulie Malignaggi and Lamont Peterson among them. Six of his seven opponents in the welterweight division were former or current world champions and 12 av hans sista 16 opponents overall carried the same distinction. Included in that run was a headlining performance live on FOX in January 2016, when he defeated Robert Guerrero to capture his welterweight title in Los Angeles. Representing the fighting city of Philadelphia, the 30-year-old most recently lost an exciting and narrow decision to Shawn Porter in their September title fight.

“I cannot wait to get back in the ring and put on the Danny Garcia show once again,” Said Garcia. “Granados was talking a big game when we first announced the fight and I plan on proving him wrong on April 20. The Southern California fans have always treated me right and I’m excited to give them a great fight.”

Fighting out of Cicero, Ilinois, Granados (20-6-2, 14 Kos) has made a name for himself by delivering tough, action-packed fights against top fighters in the sport, including Shawn Porter and Adrien Broner. The 29-year-old burst onto the scene by shocking then unbeaten Amir Imam via a stoppage victory in their 2015 clash. After a fight last June against Javier Fortuna that ended in a no contest, Granados picked up two-straight knockout wins heading into this matchup.

“This is a huge fight for me and definitely one of the most important in my career,” sa granados. “I’m looking to dominate, look impressive and control the fight. I’ve fought in Southern California before and I’m looking to take advantage of the great Mexican crowd. This is Mexico versus Puerto Rico and Chicago vs. Philadelphia. It’s territorial on a lot of levels and you can expect us to leave it all in the ring.”

Fighting out of Imperial, Kalifornien, Ruiz (31-1, 20 Kos) was a two-time Mexican national champion at super heavyweight as an amateur, before embarking on a pro career that saw him win his first 29 slagsmål. The 29-year-old lost a close majority decision against Joseph Parker in their 2016 world title fight and rebounded with victories over Kevin Johnson and Devin Vargas last year.

The 36-year-old Dimitrenko (41-4, 26 Kos) is a longtime heavyweight contender who has challenged top fighters throughout his career. Born in Russia but fighting out of Hamburg, Tyskland, he most recently lost to Bryant Jennings in a back and forth fight in August and owns wins over Derric Rossy, Adrian Granat and Miljan Rovcanin.

The 22-year-old Figueroa (18-0, 13 Kos) most recently delivered a dominant performance in knocking out Moises Flores in the third-round of their January fight on FS1. Representing Weslaco, Texas, the younger brother of former world champion Omar has a five-fight knockout streak that he brings into the ring on April 20.

A former interim champion and title challenger at bantamweight, Parejo (22-3-1, 11 Kos) will look to make his mark at 122-pounds when he battles Figueroa on April 20. The 32-year-old from Venezuela lost a bantamweight world title fight to Ryan Burnett last March, but rebounded to most recently defeat Benjamin Mendoza in February. He won an interim title by stopping Luis Hinojosa in 2014 before losing a split-decision the following year to former champion Zhanat Zhakiyanov.

Fans can live stream the fights on the FOX Sports app, available in English or Spanish through the FOX or FOX Deportes feeds. The fights are available on desktop at FOXSports.com and through the app store, eller anslutna enheter inklusive Äppel -tv, Android TV, Eld TV, Xbox One och Roku.

LOS ANGELES (Januari 13) – The challenger proved to be the aggressor as Caleb Plant became the IBF Super Middleweight World Champion, defeating Jose Uzcategui in the main event of the first Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes event of 2019, which took place at the Microsoft Theater at L.A. Bo i Los Angeles. Plant dominated the whole fight as he maintained a fast and aggressive pace from the opening bell.

With scores of 116-110 två gånger och 115-111 in favor of Plant, the freshly crowned champion, Plant fell to his knees overcome with emotion when he heard “and the new!".

“I’ve worked my whole entire life for this,” said Plant. “I buried my daughter in the process of trying to get this belt. I promised I would bring her this title and that is what I am going to do.”

The super middleweight barnburner started out strong with both combatants throwing exchanges, but Plant did everything in his power to never back down. Uzcategui threw hard right hands to start the second round, but Plant quickly turned the round in his favor as he knocked Uzcategui to the canvas with a flurry of punches, only the third time Uzcategui had been knocked down in his career. A small cut opened under the left eye of Uzcategui to start the third, but he fought through it and fended off Plant’s aggression. One minute into the fourth round, a cut opened up under Plant’s right eye causing blood to stream. That did not stop the Nashville native as threw a hard left hook that once again sent Uzcategui to the canvas.

As the fight progressed, the Venezuelan was unable to utilize his distance, thus allowing Plant to fight on the inside. Despite good exchanges in the seventh and eighth, it became increasingly clear that Uzcategui would need a knockout to hold onto his belt. Uzcategui flipped a switch in the championship rounds and came forward, throwing hard blows to the body and head of Plant. But it was too little too late for Uzcategui as Plant’s ring generalship controlled the pace of the fight, ultimately ending in a unanimous decision.

“I knew I caught him clean [when I knocked down Uzcategui], but I knew he wasn’t all the way out so I took my time,” continued Plant. “I stayed relaxed. I stuck to the game plan and got it done just like I said I would.

“This is overwhelming. I am a kid who came from nothing. I believed in myself and now I’ve been crowned king. Just nu, I am not thinking ahead. I just want to embrace this moment and soak it in.” 

“I did feel that I had the advantage heading into the fight,” said Uzcategui. “I went down because I was off balance, but I wasn’t hurt. He started to get tired around the sixth round, which was the plan. Caleb knew how to clench and hold. He was smart. He knew how to stay away from the punches.

“I expected more movement and more boxing out of him,” continued Uzcategui. “I would love the rematch. I think everyone saw a great fight tonight. I gave him the chance at the title and I would hope he would give me the chance to win it back.”

Unbeaten Brandon Figueroa (18-0, 13 Kos) av Weslaco, Texas faced former world title challenger Moises Flores (25-2, 17 Kos) Guadalajara, Mex. in a WBA Super Bantamweight title eliminator. Figueroa wasted no time attacking Flores in round one as he came forward and threw several hard lefts followed by a body shot that seemed to surprise Flores. Med 30 sekunder kvar i rundan, Figueroa went for the body and worked Flores on the inside. While Flores seemed to find his footing at the start of round three, Figueroa unleashed a flurry of punches that sent Flores to the canvas once and then a second time that ended the fight at 1:35 av den tredje omgången.

“Break him down and finish him,” said Figueroa “This is exactly how I expected it to go. I knew that he wasn’t going to handle those body shots. My message to Daniel Roman is that I am going to go home and prepare.

“I used that body work,” continued Figueroa. “I am really strong. I came in at 110 percent and did my job. Jag kunde ha gjort bättre. I am really hard on myself. I know there are things I can continue to work on and will do that as soon as I get home. I am most definitely ready for a title shot.”

Fast-rising undefeated star and PBC Prospect of 2018 Joey Spencer (6-0, 6 Kos) of Linden, Mich., continued his impressive knockout streak as he defeated Brandon Harder (2-2, 1 KO) of Southaven, Fröken., in a super welterweight contest that saw Spencer knocking down Harder three times in less than two rounds. The 18-year-old Spencer, who fought 100 kämpar som amatör, established his jab early and landed at will. He threw and landed a straight right at the end of round one that sent Harder to his knees. Forty-five seconds into round two, Spencer sent Harder to the canvas again followed by a swarm of punches that ended the fight at 1:27 av rundan.

“Fans are going to see that I give it my all when I get in the ring and I’m going to put on a show,” said Spencer. “You’re going to get more and more tests in my career and I believe I will rise to the level of my competition. Sometimes you’re in there with an awkward guy, he proves to be a test. I’ll move to six rounds for my next fight. I want to fight four times this year and I’m looking forward to it.”

The Premier Boxing Champions Prelims on FS1 featured three bouts that all ended in exciting knockout victories, kicking off a great night of fights.

The Prelim telecast featured the long-awaited ring return of Guillermo Rigondeux (18-1, 12 Kos) who hadn’t fought since December 2017. The Cuban fan-favorite faced Giovanni Delgado of Tacubaya, Mex. (16-9, 9 Kos) and knocked him out in the last second of round one with an overhand left. Delgado could not be saved by the 10 count and the fight was called in favor of Rigondeux.

“This is my division. Detta är min tid,” said Rigondeaux. “I am the king of 122 pounds. Jag kände 100 procent. Delgado is a good fighter. I take my hat off to him and his team. I came prepared and I am ready to face people that are undefeated. Whoever has a belt, I am taking it. You can expect me back in less than two months.”

“I fought my idol tonight,” said Delgado. “I knew he hit hard, but I didn’t know he hit that hard. I have been cleared by the doctor and am fine. Just a little bit in shock.”

A scheduled eight-round light heavyweight bout featuring Egypt’s Ahmed Elbiali (18-1, 15 Kos) against 16-year veteran Allan Green (33-6, 22 Kos) av Tulsa, OK saw Elbiali knock Green down in every round. Emellertid, Green did showcase his experience choosing to go toe-to-toe despite Elbiali’s aggression. Ytterst, it was a right uppercut followed by an overhand right that sent Green to the canvas as Elbiali scored a knockout at 1:16 av runda tre.

“I was easier than I thought it was going to be,” said Elbiali. “Losing to Pascal the way I did, it messes with you mentally. I was trying to stay on my A-game. Stay focused and thankfully it showed. My game plan clicked really well. I have been sparring with Caleb (Växt) and other great guys. That keeps you sharp and alert.

An accidental head butt caused a large cut over the left eye of Figueroa, as blood poured the remainder of the fight. The combatants continued to throw high volumes of punches throughout the bout, but Figueroa remained more accurate and active as Escandon did his best to stay strong. In the tenth and final round, Figueroa sealed the win with a powerful combination that ended in a right upper cut to Escandon’s chin, sending him to the canvas rendering him unable to stand at minute 1:42.

 

 

 

“Escandon is tough. He is short and it was hard to get to the body,” Said Figueroa. “I can fight both inside and outside, but his size did matter. I had to get in there and he wasn’t backing up. I was ready for this fight. Opportunities like this don’t come often so I had to take it and run with it. I have been training all summer and I am ready to take a few days off and get right back to it.”

 

 

 

“I knew Figueroa was good, but I was surprised at how tough he was,” said Escandon. “Everyone can get caught with a punch. I wasn’t tired. Jag fastnade. I am okay. I am going to keep going.”

He entered the third throwing everything he could, but Joyce hit him with a hard hook to the body forcing him to the canvas again. The fight ended in the with 41 seconds to go in the fifth round as Joyce landed a hard left hook to Kiladze’s body knocking him out.

 

 

 

“It is great to be here,” said Joyce. “I started training in the United States because it was the best way to start my career here,” said Joyce. “It is great to have my sixth win here and I look forward to getting in the ring again soon. I think I made a great impression here tonight and I just want to continue that streak.”

“Now we know why my last opponent walked out of the ring. He was afraid that was going to happen to him,” said Ajagba. “I watched tape of Jones and I knew he was slow. I was ready to attack the minute I got into the ring. I want anyone that my management will put in front of me. Jag är redo. I prepared for six rounds and I can’t wait to get back in the ring.”
