New Jersey native and Two-Time State Golden Gloves Champion Dustin “The White Tiger” Fleischer (1-0, 1 KO), alder 25, is on a quest to become the first grandson of a Holocaust survivor to be crowned world champion. Fleischer, with an amateur record of 112-18, is a protégé of 1996 Olympic Head Coach Al Mitchell and the youngest graduate of the U.S. Olympic Education Center for boxing at the age of 16.

Fleischer made his professional debut on January 9, 2015 during Roc Nation Sports’ inaugural trone boksning begivenhed, at udføre en anden runde teknisk knockout sejr over Frank Jordan i en kamp, ​​der blev tv-transmitteret live på Fox Sports 1. Fleischer faces an opponent to be determined in a four round welterweight bout on Juni 6.

 

Brooklyn’s 19-year-old, undefeated Junior “The Young God” Younan (6-0, 5 KO s) is considered one of New York City’s best boxing prospects. Younan, trained by his father Sherif, a former professional boxer himself, began fighting competitively at age eight and only two years later was called a “boxing prodigy” by the New York Times. He compiled an amateur record of 90-5, racking up an impressive series of titles along the way including nine Junior Olympic championships, nine Junior Metro championships, eight New York State Silver Gloves championships and five Regional Silver Gloves championships. I 2011, he was crowned National Junior Golden Gloves champion and was U.S.A. Boxing’s number one rated junior boxer in his weight class.

Hailing from Carolina, Puerto Rico, Jose “Wonder Boy” Lopez (15-0-1, 11 KO s) is a bit modest when it comes to discussing his punching power, but that power was evidenced during the 21-year-old’s appearance on October 26, 2013 at the Ray G. Amalbert in Juncos, Puerto Rico when he faced veteran Nicaraguan Sergio Gomez and knocked him out in the eighth and final round. On marts 29, 2014, the undefeated powerhouse scored a first round technical knockout win over Leivi Brea of The Dominican Republic to capture the vacant WBC FECARBOX super bantamweight title at the Cosme Beitia Salamo Coliseum in Cataño, Puerto Rico.

Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. (24-4-1, 19 KO s) er opstået fra den store skygge af sin far, Puertoricanske legende Wilfredo Vazquez, at gøre et navn for sig selv inde i firkantede cirkel. The 30-year-old former World Champion from Bayamon is on a quest to recapture a world title belt now campaigning in the featherweight division.

It took courage, but frankly Roc Nation is nothing if not courageous…we’re committed to promoting the biggest fights and the biggest fighters. Now just a few short months later, we stand here with one of the best fighters in the world, announcing a world championship bout inside the new mecca of boxing, Barclays center, and broadcast on the standard bearer for live boxing telecasts, HBO. It took courage and risk to get here but this is a proud moment for all of us.”

As everyone knows, it’s been a tradition for the past couple of years that Miguel fights on the eve of the Puerto Rican Day Parade, so it’s an honor to fight during that time again. På Juni 6, Miguel Cotto will defend his Middleweight WBC Championship against a tough opponent, Daniel Geale.

Miguel Cotto will be ready, will train as hard as always and be ready for the challenge Daniel Geale brings.”

You’re going to see a great fight. Miguel Cotto is a great fighter. Daniel understands that and we have a great deal of respect for him, men på Juni 6on HBO at Barclays Center, it will be a whole new night. It will be a night when Daniel Geale takes the belt back to Australia.”

Her er hvad de krigere havde at sige, inden torsdagens indvejningen:

 

GALARZA:

“We had some great sparring with guys like Daniel Jacobs, Sadam Ali, Khytrov. They always give me top tough work. That’s top competition right there. Fighting guys like that builds my confidence. If I can hang in there with them then I can hang with anyone. They’re going to help to bring me to another level. I feed off their energy.

 

“Moore is an aggressive fighter, but I’m a come-forward guy, for. Jeg kan være aggressive, but smart aggressive. Not just aggressive to punch and throw punches wildly. It’s more being smart, using my defense, my offense and countering when he makes mistakes.

 

“I try not to think about fighting in the main event in Brooklyn, but it helps and it definitely motivates me. Jeg mener, it doesn’t get any better than that – fighting in my home in the main event.

 

“It’s my backyard, so I have to put on a show. It doesn’t give me jitters because I’ve fought in my home before, but the main event is different. I just need to do my job.

 

"For mig, it’s will and skill. I bring my skill level to the next level. How bad do I want it? Am I going to perform well enough to move to the next level and face those top contenders?

 

“I want to face the top prospects so I can earn a spot as a contender. But I need to get through this guy first.”

 

MOORE:

“The main reason why I came all the way to the United States is because here is where boxing is at its best. I’m really excited about this opportunity. Being on SHOWTIME as a main event is huge for me.

 

“It’s not going to be easy, I’m fighting a guy from Brooklyn in Brooklyn in his back yard. But I’ve been in this situation before, I’ve fought abroad many times before and I’m not intimidated. It’s another day at the office for me.

 

“This is it for me, there’s no turning back. Jeg er nødt til at vinde. I just don’t see myself losing tomorrow.

 

“I’ve seen a couple Galarza videos on YouTube. He was more of a brawler at the beginning of his career. Nu, he’s a more disciplined boxer. That can backfire sometimes, something to watch out.

 

“You’ll see fireworks and excitement. I’m not going to look for the knockout. I think it’s a bad strategy to do that. If it comes, it comes. I’ll be looking to win, no matter what. This is a very big fight for me, so it’ll be all about winning, impressing and being at my best.”

 

KHYTROV

“The atmosphere training in Big Bear was amazing. It was one of the best training camps I’ve had. I’ve never been through a camp in the amateurs like that.

 

“I had a chance to meet Gennady (Golovkin) in Big Bear and we spoke and actually became pretty close. We talked about training regime, stuff athletes talk about. I loved it there.

 

“The adjustment from amateurs to pros has been fine. The only difference is handling the different rounds and realizing that you have to pace yourself for these eight, 10, 12 round fights.

 

“The best time to knock a guy out is in the first two rounds when they aren’t warmed up yet. I tried against (Jorge) Melendez but I couldn’t get him out. I just realized I needed to pace myself for the other six rounds and work the body. It was nice to get those rounds and experience against a tough fighter.

 

“I know he (Coley) is a pretty hard-hitting southpaw. I assume that he won’t come forward, but maybe he’ll surprise me. He has a few knockouts, but I’m going to watch him, learn and adapt.

 

“I faced southpaws in the amateurs. His style won’t give me any issues. I could even switch to a southpaw stance if I need to.

 

"Personligt, health allowing, I think I should be a contender by the end of 2015. But I put all my trust into my team. They know best. My job is just to train and prepare for everything they put in front of me.

 

“Yes, 100 percent I’d like to face Gennady. To be the best you have to fight the best. And right now I consider him to be the best 160 pound fighter in the world.”

 

COLEY:

“Fighting on TV for me is a big deal. When I was little, my father used to throw fight parties to watch big fights and tomorrow he’s throwing one for me. That alone makes me so proud. I’ll have my own viewing party. I’m fighting on national television, på SHOWTIME. That’s such of big deal for me. This is my breakout. This is the sign I’m made it.

 

“I stay in shape all year round, but for the past two months I’ve been taking it to the extreme. Training hard, sparring even harder.

 

“I’ve been working very hard. I’ve sparred with world champions and I’ve been doing well. I think this is my time to step up and show everybody how good I am.

 

“I’m predicting there will be a stoppage in the later rounds.”

DEREVYANCHENKO:

“The competition I faced in the WSB was, for the most part, the best fighters in the world. Indtil nu, the guys I’ve faced in the pros don’t have that resume, that skill level. So I think I’ve fought in more than just four pro fights.

 

“I’m working hard in the gym to make the transition from amateur to pro. I’m taking it step-by-step. I don’t want to jump the gun or make a mistake too fast. I’m looking forward to increasing my level of opposition gradually.

 

“I’ve seen some of his (Campa) slagsmål. In some fights he boxes different than in other fights. We’ll see what he does in the ring and adjust accordingly. But I don’t think he can bring anything that I haven’t seen before. But he’s a Mexican fighter so we know he won’t give up.

 

“I’m going to show what I’m worth. I’ve been preparing for this my whole life. Now is my chance to build my fan base and show what I can do in the ring.”

CAMPA:

“This is my first fight in the U.S., and I’m planning to take full advantage of this opportunity.

 

“My training was intense, a lot of running, especially in the mountains. I worked on my conditioning and my speed. I’m at the best shape I’ve ever been.

 

“When I found out about my opponent, I watched video on him and I know I’m better than him. I think my main advantages are age and speed. My opponent is 29, Jeg er 23. I’m younger and quicker and I’m not about to make it easy for him.

 

“I’m going to read him in the early rounds and, if I feel he’s not hurting me, I’ll go the distance.

 

“This fight is a huge step-up for me. I see it as key fight. I feel it might be a make or break for me. We’ll see, I might get a chance to deliver a knockout and that might spark some attention in the boxing world.”

Fredag, April 10 På 10 p.m. OG/PT; Live på SHOWTIME®

NEW YORK (April 2, 2015) - Brooklyn-native, ubesejret Frank "Notorious" Galarza (16-0-2, 10 KOS) vender tilbage til ringen for at kæmpe Belgiens Sheldon "The Closer" Moore (13-2-1, 9 KOS) i en otte-runde super weltervægt Bout hovednavn ShoBox: Den nye generation tripleheader on Fredag, April 10 fra Aviator Sport og Events Center i Brooklyn, N.Y., lever videre SHOWTIME (10 p.m. OG/PT, forsinket på vestkysten).

 

Galarza, betragtes af mange som "The Brooklyn Rocky," fortsætter med at gøre op for tabte tid. Hans chokerende anden runde knockout sejr over begunstigede John Thompson på hans ShoBox: Den nye generationdebut, was one of the most memorable knockouts of the year. Galarza has been on a tear since.

 

"Galarza var en tilfældig fund af ShoBox,'' Anerkendte boksning historiker og ShoBox ekspert analytiker Steve Farhood. "Da han forstyrret Thompson, han har vundet fire gange, og kiggede bedre hver gang. Niveauet af indsigelsen ikke tillader ham at blive kaldt en udfordrer endnu, men han har gjort væsentlige fremskridt. Jeg ville synes i en alder 29 han ville forsøge at gøre dette til et gennembrud år for ham. "

 

Den Galarza-Moore anfald er en af ​​tre planlagte otte-rundbold på en telecast, der har en særskilt Brooklyn smag til det. Undefeated power-stansning mellemvægt Ievgen "Den ukrainske Lion" Khytrov (9-0, 9 KOS) og stablemate, blue-chip super mellemvægt udsigten Sergiy "teknikeren" Derevyanchenko (4-0, 3 KOs / World Series of Boxing: 23-1, 7 KOS) også bosat i Brooklyn.

Khytrov tager på fyr ubesejret Aaron "Heavy Metal" Coley (9-0-1, 6 KOS), af Hayward, Calif., mens verden rangerede Derevyanchenko vil boksen Når-slået Området "Trussel / trussel" Campa (13-1, 1 NC, 9 KOS), af Sonora, Mexico.

Billetter til arrangementet, fremmes af DiBella Entertainment i samarbejde med Fight Promotions Inc. and New Legend Boxing are on sale and priced at $100, $70 og $35. Billetter kan købes ved at ringe DiBella Entertainment på (212) 947-2577. Døre åbne på 6:15 p.m. OG, med den første kamp planlagt til 6:45 p.m. OG.

 

For Galarza, hvem der snigende op i verden placeringer, den seneste stigning kunne ikke komme på et bedre tidspunkt. En fysisk stærk, aggressiv bokser-puncher, Galarza fik en sen start i boksning og havde kun 11 amatør kampe.

 

"Tiden for mig er afgjort nu,'' Sagde han. "Min første ShoBox kæmpe indstille platform for mig. Jeg har ikke bare vinde en kamp, ​​der absolut ingen troede jeg kunne, Jeg vandt det i stor stil. Jeg fremsatte en erklæring. Jeg har fortsat med at vokse og føler jeg har fået bedre, da denne kamp. Men jeg er her for at vise folk, hvad jeg alt om, fortsætte med at træne meget hårdt og bare tage det lidt efter lidt, en kamp ad gangen.

 

"Det er spændende at kæmpe i den tv-main event i min baghave. Jeg har aldrig været mere motiverede for en match. Jeg vil gerne takke SHOWTIME for at give mig endnu en mulighed for at kæmpe på ShoBox.''

 

Style-wise, Galarza mener, at dette er en stor matchup for ham. "Moore ser fysisk stor og stærk, hård og sultne og kommer til at kæmpe,'' Sagde han. "Han er aggressiv, og det er den bedste del om det - det burde gøre for en stor kamp. Jeg kan være aggressive, for. Jeg ved, han kommer til at kæmpe og alle ved jeg ikke bevæger sig baglæns, så jeg forventer fyrværkeri.

 

"Jeg kommer til at kæmpe hver gang, især på SHOWTIME, på ShoBox hvor de giver dig modstandere af god kaliber, som forventes at lægge på en vis og forventes at yde en god kamp.

 

"Det er i Brooklyn, min hjemby, og jeg ønsker at underholde folket. Dette er mit show, min hjemkomst, og jeg vil forsvare min hjemmebane. Jeg har et job at gøre på April 10, men efter at, de store navne i divisionen vil blive tvunget til at beskæftige sig med mig. Jeg er 29 og om det hele på linjen. ''

 

I sin seneste ShoBox udseende, Galarza vandt en enstemmig otte-runde afgørelse i forhold til tidligere ubesejret Sebastien Bouchard (8-0 går i) maj 16, 2014, af snesevis af 78-73 og 77-74 to gange trods har et punkt trækkes for en lav slag i sidste runde.

 

Galarza modstander, 27-år gamle Moore, gør hans ShoBox debut og fjerde start i USA, hvor han er 1-1-1. Han sidst dukkede op i US. i juni 2012.

"Dette er en enorm mulighed for mig og min karriere, hænder ned dette er den største kamp i mit liv,"Moore sagde. "Det er et must-win kamp for mig. Jeg har set et par af Galarza s kampe, og jeg er helt sikker på, at jeg har hvad det kræver at forstyrre ham i hans baghave. Dette er en drøm for mig, kæmper på nationalt tv, og jeg planlægger at vise boksning verden, at jeg hører på eliteniveau i denne division.

"Min stil er absolut aggressiv. Jeg kan godt lide at gå ned min modstander. Galarza har god bevægelse og god rækkevidde. Men denne kamp vil være den første kamp, ​​hvor jeg ikke behøver at arbejde på siden under udarbejdelsen. Jeg er 100 procent dedikeret til sport og sat til at gå på April 10. "

 

Det 5-fods-10 Moore har vundet sine to sidste kampe, den seneste på en første runde knockout løbet Janos Varga sidste December. 20 i Belgien. Ligesom Galarza, han fik en sen start i boksning og havde en begrænset amatør karriere (27 ender). Han kickboxing, da han var 15, men havde ikke sin første amatør kamp indtil en alder af 19.

 

Khytrov (udtalte HE-omkostninger) var en fænomenal amatør med sigende 500 amatør anfald. Han var den 2011 amatør verdensmester og en repræsentant for Ukraine i 2012 Olympiske Lege.

 

Dette vil være hans anden optræden på ShoBox. I sin debut på Jan. 9, han ødelagde den tidligere ubesejrede Maurice Louishomme, vinde ved tredje runde TKO. Han lyser op Louishomme med højre hånd og uppercuts til kroppen, forskyde ham på flere gange i en ensidig affære, som blev stoppet ved 0:24 i tredje runde.

 

Aggressive, offensiv-minded Khytrov har kæmpet alt 27 runder i ni starter, et gennemsnit på tre runder en kamp - og det omfatter hans karriere-bedste ottende runde TKO løbet altid-hårde puertoricanske Jorge Melendez marts 6.

 

"Ievgen [udtalt Yev-gin, med en hård G] er så fan-venlige en fighter, som du finder, aldrig tager et tilbageskridt, ser ud til at gøre ondt sin modstander med hvert slag,'Farhood sagde. “After nine fights, han viser alle tegn på, at han vil være en titel udfordrer i en år-til-18 måneder. Hans seneste, et stop i løbet af Jorge Melendez, var et modigt skridt at tage på en farlig og erfaren modstander, og han tog ham ud, brød ham ned. Hvad siger det mig?"

 

En af de øverste perspektiver i boksning, 5-fods-11, 26-årige Khytrov er flyttet på et langt hurtigere tempo end de fleste andre perspektiver på dette tidspunkt af deres karriere. Han fik sin professionelle debut i en alder 25 i december 2013 og kæmpede seks gange i 2014. Dette er hans tredje kamp 2015. Alle hans kampe har været i USA.

Khytrov, der flyttede til Brooklyn kort efter 2012 OL, er ivrig for April 10 at ankomme. "Jeg er meget spændt på at vende tilbage til ringen på April 10, især bliver, at kampen er i min vedtaget hjem for Brooklyn,'' Sagde han. "Jeg vil gerne takke mine initiativtagere DiBella Underholdning og bekæmpelse Kampagner Inc. og min manager Al Haymon for denne lejlighed til endnu en gang fremvise mine evner på ShoBox.

"Jeg forventer en hård kamp ud af Coley, der, som jeg selv, er aldrig blevet besejret som en professionel. Vi vidste, at 2015 skulle være et stort år for mig og min karriere, og jeg lover endnu en spektakulær optræden på April 10 som vi fortsætter med at bevæge sig op i rækken af ​​min division. "

Khytrov sammenligner sin stil til en af ​​boksning all-time greats. “Jeg har fået en Roberto Duran stil. Jeg er en all-out kampspil,'' Sagde han. "Jeg angriber kroppen. Jeg elsker TV søgelyset. ''

 

Coley er en venstre-hander og toårige pro, hvem der tager en enorm skridt op i denne kamp, hans ShoBox og otte-round debut. Et perspektiv på 160 pounds - han flyttede op fra junior mellemvægt division i sin sidste kamp - han iscoming fra den sjette knockout af sin karriere, en femte runde KO løbet Loren Myers den okt. 11, 2014.

 

"Jeg er meget begejstret for fremvisning mine evner på en platform som SHOWTIME,'' Sagde den altid godt med aircondition Coley, der aldrig har været slået ned som en pro eller amatør. "Jeg har set Khytrov kamp. Fra hvad det ligner, han er en anstændig fighter. Jeg tror ikke rigtig der er noget specielt ved ham. Han er temmelig ligetil, en østeuropæisk fyr der bare kommer ind og bruger lidt vinkler. Han er en hård puncher med god effekt, men jeg kender ikke de fyre han kæmpet.

 

"Nogle flere, du kan ikke skade, hvad du ikke kan ramme. "

 

En adræt bokser, der nu arbejder ud fra Virgil Hunter'S gym i det nordlige Californien, Coley gør sin anden start for ny træner Eddie Croft.Han havde levet og træning i Las Vegas. Han gik 8-0 ved starten af ​​en pro karriere, der begyndte i april 2012.

 

Med hensyn til hans øgenavn, Coley sagde, "Min far ejer en jernskrot."

 

Derevyanchenko (udtales der-du-van-CHENK-oh), der gør hansShoBox debut, har udseendet af en "can not miss" contender. Et skridt videre, mange forventer hans opstigning i verden placeringer til at være intet mindre end rivende. Han øjeblikket rangeret Nej. 12 i IBF, Do Not. 25 i WBC.

 

"Jeg er meget begejstret for min første kamp på amerikansk tv,'' Sagde han. "Dette vil være min første gang opført på ShoBox og jeg er absolut begejstret. Dette er min kommer ud parti. Jeg forbereder dag og nat, og jeg er klar til at fremvise mine evner til verden. Jeg er klar til at vise dem "teknikeren."

 

"Min stil er meget teknisk, men når jeg regne min modstander ud, Jeg angriber ondskabsfuldt. Med hårdt arbejde og en stor team bag mig, Jeg vil blive en verdensmester i min division. Der er ingen tvivl i mit sind. "
