Upland, California (Avril 22, 2016) – Nearly three months after an exciting victory in the inaugural Premier Boxing Champions on Fox series, Dominic “Pwoblèm” BREAZEALE (17-0, 15 KO nan) finds himself sitting on the cusp of a shot at the world title against newly crowned IBF world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (16-0, 16 KO nan). What has transpired for Breazeale in the last four months, has been nothing short of the irony in how he has reached this point to possibly fight Joshua; is his fate as he sees it.
Back in December of 2015, Breazeale was scheduled to fight Charles Martin in a battle of undefeated American heavyweights. Martin then withdrew from the bout to preserve a title shot against Vyacheslav Glazkov in which he later won. Breazeale went on to fight heavyweight veteran Amir Mansour a month later and after courageously getting up from the canvas, stopped Mansour on his stool prior to the 6th round.
“Ou konnen, the incident with Martin was really disappointing as we had trained hard for that bout. To show up fight week physically and mentally prepared for the bout and then it’s all of a sudden called off, is just discouraging. But I trusted in my adviser Al Haymon and he put something together for me quickly.”
“Later the Mansour bout was scheduled and it was a tough fight, but I learned a lot from it. During and after the fight, I realized that I had to use basic fundamentals. He caught me with a good shot but I got off the canvas and started to box him. Only the best of best heavyweights get off the canvas and finish the fight the way I did. Mansour was never stopped before and I clearly showed I have the power needed to stop fighters, and after I broke his jaw, I don’t think he’s ever going to want to fight again,” Di BREAZEALE.
BREAZEALE, was then scheduled to fight Chris Arreola on April 30th and received disappointing news that Arreola had fractured his ankle and could no longer move forward with the bout. “When I first heard about it, I thought to myself not again, and I was upset that another fight was cancelled, but it was a blessing in disguise,” BREAZEALE di.
Two weeks later, Anthony Joshua would obliterate Charles Martin and claim the IBF world heavyweight title. “Charles Martin got what he deserved and was totally outclassed by Anthony Joshua. Joshua did what he had to do. Martin wasn’t even developed or prepared for the bout. He was soft and slow and you can’t do that in the heavyweight division,” Di BREAZEALE.
BREAZEALE, who is now ranked #13 pa IBF a, is being considered to fight Joshua in his first title defense, and he hopes that he gets a shot at the world heavyweight title and is chosen for the bout. “When I first heard that I was possibly going to fight Joshua for the title I was extremely excited. I have been thinking about this daily. This is an opportunity that every fighter dreams and hopes of. I’m sure Joshua felt the same way when he first found out he was going to fight Martin for the title. The only difference is that I am not going to lay down like Charles did and hand the belt over.”
“Hey Anthony Joshua! LET’S DO THIS! This a great fight for the heavyweight division and the fans. We are both 2012 Zolenpik, undefeated, and pack a punch. The United States of America versus Great Britain. I want to go back to London and finish what I didn’t in 2012. Instead of the gold medal, I want the IBF title, and I guarantee you I’m bringing it back to the United States where it belongs!,” Di BREAZEALE.
“Isit la vini pwoblèm“

CHARLES MARTIN:
"Mwen pa konsidere sa yon risk. Arena a O2, Sa se tèren mwen an. Mwen konfòtab tout kote mwen ale. Lè je yo sou mwen, Mwen pral fè.
"Mwen konnen ki jan pou avanse pou pi tèt mwen yo epi yo dwe klè. Reyèl analis vre wè bagay sa yo mwen fè. Yo ka di.
"Mwen toujou isit la pou pwouve ke yo mal. Lè ou gen dout mwen, ki jis konbistib dife mwen an.
"Nou pral kenbe mare nan woule. Nou ap woule. "
Anthony Jozye:
“Yo konnen lè li rive sa yo gwo gwo-frapeur nou pa jwe jwèt. Nou se isit la pou yo ale nan lagè. Nou jis te resevwa de jeneral nan bag la ak pi bon lame a ranport.
“Ou konnen ki sa mwen renmen, Mwen se yon avyon de gè. Mwen pa pral ale nan la ak danse alantou epi eseye evade pwenson. Mwen pral mache nan de ba l 'senk. Se jis ki jan li ale, M ap vini pou li.
“Mwen isit la nan bwat, Men, an menm tan an mwen konnen mwen pare pou naje nan dlo gwo twou san fon yo ka resevwa li. Li pa pral fasil, Mwen konnen sa pou yon reyalite, Pa gen batay fasil. Se poutèt sa mwen te di ou mwen pral bwat ak èspere ke li pral yon nwit fasil.
“Li pi definitivman se yon risk, Men, an menm tan an kite a bouyon tout sa a 15-batay, 16-goumen istwa san sans epi kite a mete moun nan bag la ansanm ki vle li. Nenpòt moun ki vle li soti sou tèt epi li la senp tankou sa. "
Lè yo te mande si li ka kontwole emosyon l 'yo: "Pwobableman pa. Mwen pral pwobableman ale deyò epi eseye pran tèt li. ”
Lòt Quotes batay Semèn (Gratis yo itilize):
CHARLES MARTIN:
"Mwen pa konnen ki jan fanatik yo pral reyaji m 'frape l' soti, Men, se sa ki pral rive. Mwen pa konnen ki jan fanatik yo nan Lond pral reyaji, Men, mwen ka sèlman tèt mwen.
"Mwen se chanpyon nan lemonn, Men, anpil moun pa konnen m '. Apre mwen frape l 'soti nou pral wè ki kote ki ale.
"Mwen pa pral ale nan gen respekte pouvwa okenn moun nan. Li pral gen respekte m 'ak pouvwa mwen ak fè fas ak mwen ak zouti mwen an. Mwen pa pran swen sa li te pote sou tab la.
"Sa a se mwayen poul viv mwen ak mwen jwenn reyèl emosyonèl ak sa a. Si ou pa pran emosyon nan li Lè sa a, ki jan ou menm pral genyen? Mwen te oblije mache pwòp chemen mwen. Lè mwen jwenn emosyonèl devan yo nan yon gwo batay tankou sa a, Mwen santi ke mwen pa ka sispann. Menm si mwen gen dout, Mwen toujou gen sa.
"Mwen pa panse osijè de ki kote li te ye. Tout sa mwen pran swen sou se kote li pral. Mwen pa pran swen si li te nan dlo gwo twou san fon anvan, oswa konbyen jij li te. Mwen vle l 'sonje pawòl la' bwa 'paske mwen pral fè manman bourik l' frape ki twal reyèl difisil.
“Belt sa a se pou mwen. Li ap eseye pran sa ki pou mwen, Pran yon bagay nan men mwen. Li ap eseye vòlè manje soti nan bouch mwen, soti nan bouch timoun mwen yo, soti nan bouch fanmi mwen an. Sa a se mwayen poul viv mwen.
"Mwen pa vle kite sa ale: Sa pa janm pral fini. Mwen vle yo dwe li te ye kòm pi gwo lou nan Southpaw ki janm mete yo sou yon seri gan.
"Lè mwen rive nan pwen sa a kounye a, Mwen pa ka sispann. Mwen tankou Lamon Brewster kont Wladimir Klitschko lè li te dechaje tout moun sa yo vaksen jouk li pa t 'kapab voye jete ankò pwenson. Lè sa a, sa ki te Lamon Brewster fè? Frape l 'la (entèrjèktif) deyò. Jis ki pral pou pou genyen, youn. Ou ka voye jete tou sa ou vle, Men, mwen pral mache nan dife pou fè ou jwenn.
"Li nan agresyon kontwole, menm si, Paske si li pa, Ou pral kouri antre nan tout bagay yo voye jete nan ou. Mwen ale nan la ak antèn mwen nan plafon an epi mwen pa pral pran je m 'sou li jouk travay la fè.
"Tout bagay se jis pou kwit manje nan kwizin nan tankou mwen se yon chef mèt, Ak tout engredyan yo mete ansanm fè li pafè.
"Lavi se tout sou pran risk men mwen pa konsidere sa a yon risk paske mwen gen konfyans nan sa mwen fè. Li nan tout sou jis pran ki premye etap. Ou te oblije mache sou pwòp ou yo epi ou te oblije kwè nan tèt ou. Si mwen pa t 'kwè nan tèt mwen mwen pa ta fè l' byen lwen. Si mwen pa t 'kwè nan tèt mwen mwen pa ta dwe Prince Charles Martin.
"Senti a se absoliman nan men yo dwa. Mwen pa t 'vle pou pou genyen li jan mwen te fè a - sa ki te jis fou - Mwen pa menm reyèlman renmen pale sou li paske li pa t' fòt mwen. Pita, Li te mache soti nan pidevan a - li pa t 'bwete oswa jwenn te pote soti, Li te mache. Si sa ki te m 'mwen ta te goumen sou yo ak ale deyò sou plak pwotèj mwen an. Ou ta dwe frape m 'pa gen pwoblèm sa. Mwen pa pran swen si mwen kraze men mwen, Si mwen kraze machwè mwen an, Mwen pa kanpe. "
Anthony Jozye:
"Mwen kwè mwen pare pou genyen tit mond lan. Yon anpil moun te di ke sa a ta ka twò bonè pou mwen, ke mwen te mòde plis pase mwen ka moulen, Men, kounye a dwa m 'yo grate ak mwen jis vle jwenn nan la epi montre mond lan sa mwen ka fè.
"Lè pwomotè mwen Eddie Hearn rele m 'leve, li di' Èske ou vle goumen Charles Martin pou tit la Mondyal pwa loud?'Mwen jis di: 'Se pou woule'.
"Opòtinite knocks epi ou gen yo louvri pòt la. Mwen resevwa fòmasyon ak prepare kòrèkteman epi mwen pare pou sa. Pa gen okenn vire tounen. Mwen jis anbrase li.
"Nou te wè opòtinite a lè Martin te rele m 'soti. Mwen te tankou, 'Ok Mesye. IBF rele m 'soti.' Champ la IBF rele soti Champ Britanik la. Mwen te gen chanpyon an pwa loud nan mond lan rele m 'soti di li vle goumen m'. Mwen di fre. Ann wòch ak woule.
"Nan fen jounen an, Se pou nou dezabiye tit la pwa lou epi kite a gade nan advèsè a mwen ap fè fas. Charles Martin se yon sid ki ka bwat epi ki moun ki ka kout pyen yon ti jan.
"Fè fas a yon Southpaw toujou vini ak ang diferan ak ke trik nouvèl diferan. Mwen pa ka ale nan enpridans paske ou ka fasilman jwenn vann san preskripsyon trou. Se poutèt sa bòks enpòtan epi ki gen yon kan siksè enpòtan. Mwen konnen mwen te fè tout sa mwen kapab pou prepare tèt mwen pou li.
"Ann akeyi Charles nan twou lyon an. Li ap vini nan O2 la - sa a se tè stomping mwen an. Lè mwen goumen isit la li nan elektrik epi li pral yo dwe yon atmosfè etonan, pi bon an ankò. Li pral enteresan yo wè ki jan li okipe li. Ki sa ki yon nwit li pral si mwen ka leve ki senti anwo tèt mwen.
"Pafwa ou te mete talan sou yon bò ak fouye gwo twou san fon. Sa a se jwèt la batay; Ou te pwouve ke nan tèt ou ke lè taktik yo pa ap travay, Ou te oblije fouye yon ti jan pi fon, ale nan lagè epi jwenn yon fason pou pou genyen. Se sa mwen te panse lè mwen te goumen Dillian (Whyte). Sèten bagay yo pa t 'travay, Mwen te kouri yon ti jan, Mwen pa t 'nan zòn konfò mwen an, Men, mwen fouye gwo twou san fon mwen te jwenn yon fason pou pou genyen e mwen te fini nwit la la nan yon pentch espektakilè.
"Apre mwen fè biznis la ak Martin, yon batay ak (Tyson) Kòlè se 10 oswa 12 mwa lwen — bay li manch biznis li nan (Wladimir) Klitschko rematch.
"Mwen jwenn kòlè yon ti jan enèvan yo dwe onèt. Tout eksantrik li yo travay pou li, Mwen ta kwè, Men, mwen pa ka tann pou goumen l '. Li te gen anpil di sou mwen, Epi li ap vini soti nan menm nèg la ki te chante fè lwanj mwen lè mwen te chire avè l 'lè mwen te yon inisyasyon konplè.
"Kòm tan ale sou, Li pral vin pi mal pou lòt moun yo paske konfyans mwen ap grandi, Mwen pral antrene, aprann epi pran li nan bag la.
“David Haye? Pote li sou. Kè mwen di m 'mwen pare. Mwen nan nivo chanpyona kounye a. Apre mwen jwenn Martin soti nan wout la, David se yon non masiv ak lè nou 're pare pou jwenn li sou li pral yon gwo batay. "

Isit la ki sa Selby ak Hunter te di pandan Semèn Goumen:
LEE SELBY:
"Mwen pral mete sou yon pèfòmans devastatè ak klinik. Mwen pral pran batay la pou li. Ou pral wè pwenson mechanste ak vaksen abi, Se konsa, chasè pi bon dwe pare.
"Mwen pral montre poukisa mwen se chanpyon nan mond IBF epi montre moun ki sa mwen ka fè. Si li vle kanpe ak goumen, Nou ka goumen. Si li vle bwat, Nou pral bwat. Mwen pa bezwen montre ki jan difisil mwen menm ak ke mwen ka gravye li soti, Paske mwen te soti-bwat tout moun mwen te fè fas. Sepandan, Li vle li mwen pa lide. Si ou wè m 'bòks chak jou nan jimnastik la, Mwen jis vle gen yon chire-up.
"Ou pa genyen batay tankou sa – oswa omwen, Mwen enstwi pa fè sa. Mwen te di bwat tout tan an, men lè li vini desann nan li, Mwen ta renmen gen yon chire-up.
"Mwen pa janm te gen fatra a ap pale ak nan peze-ins mwen pa janm te gen nenpòt moun ki nan figi m 'yo, Men, li pa pral afekte m 'nan tout. Li pa chanje atitid mwen yon ti jan.
"Mwen te gen yon ti gade nan l ', Wè style li. Li nan yon avyon de gè bon, Li se gòch, Chanje frape, gen pouvwa, Se konsa, li pral fè yon batay difisil.
“Eric se non mwen. 1 pwovokatè e li la pou yon rezon. Li pral ban mwen yon tès reyèl men se sa mwen bezwen.
"Goumen devan fanatik Britanik se atmosfè ki pi bon nan boksè. Se te yon rèv pou ale nan Amerik pou defann yon tit mondyal, Men, li se yon rèv defann li sou tè lakay yo devan 20,000.
"Te gen kèk avyon de gè gwo rele m 'soti. Carl Frampton te pale de mwen apre dènye batay li, Josh Warrington te rele m 'soti yon anpil nan fwa ak Leo Santa Cruz te mansyone m', twò. Gen anpil opsyon men mwen te vini nan yon sèl sa a.
“Warrington pap janm rive nan nivo mwen. Li te fè tout bagay mande l ', li te genyen tout tit yo mwen vid, Epi li se yon batay ki ta ka fè touswit si li vini nan pwochen batay li yo ak mwen vini nan m 'yo. Warrington chita pale sou mwen anpil, Epi li se yon batay mwen ta definitivman enterese nan ak si nou tou de genyen batay pwochen nou yo. Petèt li pral rive, Epi li ta yon gwo batay. ”
Eric Hunter:
"Selby se yon moun kap kouri, Nou konnen li se yon moun kap kouri, Li bwat ak kouri ale. Li pa te reyèlman goumen nenpòt moun ki ankò. Li bat Evgeny Gradovich, ki moun ki pa te reyèlman te menm bagay la depi li te goumen Billy Dib. Li jis te mache pi devan ak men l 'leve.
"Mwen te rated pa IBF la pou tan ki pi long lan. Mwen te rated pi wo pase Lee Selby lè li te goumen Fernando Montiel ak lè li te resevwa Gradovich.
"Pa dwe entelijan oswa bwòdè, Men, mwen pa janm wè l 'goumen. Mwen pa janm tande pale de l 'jouk batay la Gradovich. Se avèk batay sa, Mwen panse ke Gradovich te genyen men Selby te resevwa desizyon vil la. Li bwat byen. Li kouri trè byen tou.
"Mwen ka ajiste. Mwen ka goumen. Mwen kapab bwat. Mwen te resevwa pi bon footwork. Mwen ka frape. Mwen ka fè kèk bagay ke li pwobableman pa kapab.
"Mwen eksite sou batay devan tout moun sa yo. Li ban mwen chans pou montre konpetans mwen yo. Yo pral wè yon nouvo chanpyon IBF.
"Mwen pa bezwen pou pou genyen yon lagè nan mo, Mwen pral montre sa mwen ka fè sou nwit la la. Mwen renmen fanatik yo London, Mwen gade pou pi devan pou vini sou la epi ki montre yo sa mwen kapab fè. "

Martin VS. Joshua is the third of four heavyweight title bouts in five months sou chotim (see details below). The scheduled 12-round matchup is the toughest test to date for both Martin (23-0-1, 21 Ko) and Joshua (15-0, 15 Ko), two bombers who boast a combined 94 percent knockout ratio.
Selby (22-1, 8 Ko) vs. Hunter (21-3, 11 Ko) se dezyèm lan nan senk pwograme plum tit kriz nan 2016 (Detay anba a), Yon pwogramasyon ki montre anpil nan pi bon nan mond lan 126-Pounders vise inifye youn nan divizyon pwofon boksè a.
“The heavyweight division is experiencing an incredible resurgence, and the featherweight division is rife with compelling matchups,"Te di Stephen Espinoza, Egzekitif Vis Prezidan & General Manager of SHOWTIME Sports. “Martin vs. Joshua is a can’t-miss showdown between a newly minted American champion and one of the sport’s fastest-rising stars. And Selby vs. Hunter has major implications in the talent-rich division. We are proud to work with Matchroom Sport to deliver these pivotal matchups to the U.S. audience.”
“I’m the Heavyweight Champion of the World, and that’s why I have no problem traveling to England for my first title defense,” Martin said. “I only want to fight the best, and I plan on knocking Anthony Joshua out and taking his fans and the belt back with me.”
“The O2 is going to be rocking on Avril 9 and the U.S. fans are in for a treat when they see Charles and I clash,” Joshua said. “Credit to him for coming over after calling me out, but he doesn’t know what he’s getting himself in for. I am going to show all my power, all my speed and all my accuracy to put on the best display of my life and become the Heavyweight Champion of the World by knocking him out. I’m delighted that fans in the U.S. will be able to witness it.”
“After a great experience in my first defense in Arizona against Fernando Montiel, it’s nice to be back in front of my home fans at The O2 in London,” Selby said. “It’s going to be a crazy atmosphere with a 20,000 person sold-out arena. Hunter has talked a lot of trash and I’m looking forward to showing him what it’s like at the world championship level. He’s in for a shock.”
“He’s got a belt I want, and that’s all I know about him,” Hunter said. “My team knows more about him than I do. It’s their job to come up with a game plan. My job is train and get ready to perform my best. I can adjust to anything in the ring. I’m just here at the gym working my butt off to get the job done. I’m going to be more focused than I ever have been for this fight.”
The 6-foot-5 Martin won the IBF championship on Jan. 16 lè Vyacheslav Glazkov suffered a knee injury in the third round of their vacant world title fight. In capturing the IBF belt, Martin, nan St. Louis, Mo, became just the sixth southpaw heavyweight champion in boxing history and the second current American heavyweight titlist.
While Martin has stopped his last 13 opponents and was the aggressor against Glazkov, the undefeated champ remains virtually untested. His first title defense and initial start outside the U.S., will take place at what is expected to be a pro-Joshua arena in London that sold out in just 90 segonn. The 29-year-old Martin, who is trained by U.S. Zolenpik Henry Tillman in Big Bear, Kalifòni., will be Joshua’s first professional southpaw opponent.
Joshua had a standout amateur career that culminated with an Olympic Gold Medal at super heavyweight in the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Since turning professional in July 2013, the 6-foot-6 Joshua has steadily climbed through the ranks.
One of boxing’s most promising prospects, Joshua is coming off consecutive victories over previously undefeated opponents. Nan bout dènye l ', the 26-year-old was pushed past the third round for the first time in his career. Joshua defeated Dillian Whyte via seventh-round knockout on Dec. 12. Koulye a,, Joshua returns to The O2, the site of his professional debut and five of his 15 epizod pwofesyonèl, in a bid to join Tyson kòlè as the second current reigning British heavyweight champion.
Joshua is also looking to become the sixth super heavyweight Olympic Gold Medalist to win a heavyweight world title. If successful, he will join an impressive group that includes George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Lennox Lewis akWladimir Klitschko.
Li te fèt nan Barry, Wales, Selby won his world title with a dominant technical decision over previously undefeated Evgeny Gradovich nan mwa me 2015. The slick boxer made his first title defense in his U.S. debut last October, capturing a unanimous decision over former three-division champ Fernando Montiel.
The 29-year-old owns a slew of victories over previously unblemished fighters including Joel Brunker, Ryan Walsh, Viorel Simon, Corey McConnell akStephen Smith. He has won 18 straight since the lone blemish of his career, and six of his last eight victories came over previously undefeated opponents.
Hunter, who will take a four-fight win streak into his initial start outside the U.S., has always possessed an abundance of talent. Anvan ou vire pro, the Philadelphia native was an outstanding amateur and an alternate on the U.S. Olympic team.
The fast-handed 29-year-old has scored some solid victories as a pro, and his biggest enemy in a nine-year career has been himself – the switch-hitter doesn’t always keep his composure in check and allows his emotions get the best of him. Two of Hunter’s three losses came by disqualification, the last coming via DQ in 2013 kont Mike Oliver for hitting at the break. The other came againstLuis Franco nan 2010, when he had a point deducted in the second and was DQ’d in the eighth after repeated low blows.
If Hunter can keep his hot head from getting him in trouble, he’s confident he can upset Selby and join Leo Santa Cruz ak Gary Russell Jr. as U.S.-born world champion at 126 liv.
