Això és el que els Shields i Gabriels van dir avui al gimnàs de boxa del centre de Detroit:

 

Claressa ESCUTS

 

"Han estat set setmanes de treball molt dur. Molta gent no ho sap i realment no m'agrada ser obert al respecte, però ho vaig aconseguir 183 lliures després de la meva última baralla al gener i ara ho estic 160. Això és 23 lliura. Estava al campament corrent i preparant-me per a la lluita i haver de centrar-me en el pes era molt diferent per a mi.

 

 

"Em trobo bé i preparat per anar-hi. Estic content que ho hagi fet a la caixa forta i tot això, però ara estic emocionat. Tots sabeu com em trobo abans de les baralles. El campió és aquí.

 

 

 

 

"Han canviat molt des que em vaig convertir en professional. En la meva primera baralla, Estava frustrat contra Francon (Crews Dezurn) durant la nostra lluita. Vaig estar frustrat durant tot el campament i realment no vaig poder gestionar tot el que estava passant. Ara sé com manejar els mitjans, els entrenaments, les entrevistes i segueixen sent disciplinats. El fet d'haver hagut de perdre tant de pes aquest camp només va afegir més disciplina.

 

 

 

"Em fa molt feliç i em toca el cor veure quatre lluitadores al cartell principal de la lluita. Em vaig alegrar tant que van decidir posar-los a la televisió. M'han posat abans, però sempre ha estat el meu objectiu posar-me altres dones, així que quan van decidir posar-me a Tori Nelson i Christina Hammer em vaig emocionar molt perquè això no s'havia fet mai abans.. La boxa femenina va a algun lloc.

 

 

 

“Sempre vaig saber que em faria falta professionalitzar perquè la boxa femenina anés a un nivell superior. Per això vaig esperar a guanyar una segona medalla d'or abans de convertir-me en professional. Ser el líder és especial. Sento que surto a cada baralla i dono el millor de mi i demostro que puc boxejar millor que 90 per cent dels homes que boxa. Si tens l'opció de fer d'un home l'esdeveniment principal o jo l'esdeveniment principal, Sempre vull que em triin a mi.

 

 

 

"Sempre hi ha respecte mutu entre jo i els meus oponents. Els estic agraït perquè no ho puc fer jo sol. Dono les gràcies a l'Hanna per haver-hi avançat i és respecte mutu fins divendres. Començo a ser molt dolent dijous,Divendres és la lluita i després podem intercanviar números i ser amics.

 

 

 

"Espero que faci servir els seus regals. És molt bona amb les cames i és forta a dalt. Crec que li falta velocitat, així que espero que ella intenti contrarestar-me i intenti obligar-me a cometre errors amb el seu moviment.. Crec que ella infravalora el meu poder.

 

 

 

"Mai vaig dir que volgués aconseguir més nocauts. Estic perfectament bé 5-0 amb dos nocauts. Al final de la dia, Estic bé amb això. Com més temps estic al ring de boxa, la millor. Com més em veuen a la televisió, això està bé. Per descomptat, m'encantaria aconseguir el gran nocaut, però mireu que decebut Errol Spence Jr. va ser aconseguir un nocaut tan ràpid d'Ocampo. Això no va agradar als seus seguidors. Si el nocaut ve, ve.

 

 

 

"Aquesta serà la meva lluita més dura. És la més hàbil i té més experiència. És tres vegades campiona del món. He lluitat contra antics campions del món, però fins ara és tres vegades campiona del món. La noia que la va colpejar, Hanna va venjar aquesta pèrdua. Estic desitjant que surti i posi 100 per cent i espero que tinguem una gran lluita.

 

"Sempre estic segur d'entrar en baralles. No sortiré del ring sense tenir dos cinturons nous".

 

HANNAH GABRIELS

 

“Crec que aquest és un moment en què les dones poden tenir aquest tipus de plataforma. La Claressa és una gran campiona i m'he enfrontat a grans campions femenines. Crec que és un bon moment perquè els aficionats a la boxa gaudeixin d'una lluita de qualitat. Ella és una campiona. Sóc un campió. Aquest serà un gran enfrontament.

 

 

 

"Veureu un lluitador molt tècnic i agressiu. Aquesta és l'única manera de lluitar contra la Claressa perquè ella mateixa és molt agressiva i tan dura, no pots anar al ring passiu contra ella. Has de posar la teva vida en perill allà dins i això és el que estic pensant fer.

 

 

 

"Em sento honrat d'estar en una carta tan gran. Aquesta és una gran oportunitat i només espero que tothom ho vegi com jo. Hem entrenat dur. En el meu cas, Volia treure el millor de mi mateix perquè els aficionats poguessin sortir de l'arena sentint-me molt bé. Això és el que es tracta la boxa. Aportar entreteniment i emocions que la majoria dels altres esports no aporten a la gent.

 

 

 

"Aquesta lluita significa molt per a mi. Totes les persones que estimo estan passant per un moment difícil en aquests moments, inclosa la meva família. Només vull donar l'exemple i mostrar a tothom que totes les probabilitats no són res. Encara pots lluitar amb tants recursos o tan pocs com tinguis. Dedico aquesta lluita a tots els meus éssers estimats perquè prometo que hi haurà temps millors per a nosaltres.

 

 

 

"Quan tenia cinc anys vaig ser abusat sexualment, així que els meus anys d'adolescència van ser durs. L'esport sempre m'ha allunyat d'això. Quan em vaig lesionar i vaig haver de deixar de competir en pista, Vaig pensar que la meva vida s'havia acabat. Durant els propers cinc o sis anys, Vaig ser molt destructiu i vaig sentir que no tenia cap propòsit. Quan em vaig girar 24, Vaig començar un passatge diferent i vaig aprendre que tot el que em va passar només em va fer la persona que sóc avui.

 

 

 

"Realment no ens centrem en les debilitats de ningú perquè creiem que si ets un bon professional i estàs dedicant la teva vida a això, se suposa que has de millorar les teves debilitats. Així que ens centrem en els seus punts forts i crec que tenim un gran pla. Diuen que m'ha estat subestimant molt, però crec que és part del seu joc i del que fa..

 

 

 

"Crec que els seus punts forts són força evidents. Té grans peus. No sé si colpeja fort però és molt explosiva. Ha de tenir molt poder i és molt defensiva. Ella manté la distància i ella és tan gran i jo sóc tan petita que haurem d'arriscar moltes coses. La seva confiança és un dels seus grans punts forts.

 

 

 

"Aquesta serà probablement la meva lluita més dura fins ara. Mai vaig tenir una carrera amateur, Només vaig tenir una baralla. La Claressa ha lluitat unes 80 vegades, així que la meva escola ha estat en l'entorn professional i he hagut d'aprendre en el procés.. Cada baralla ha estat una lluita dura perquè he de resoldre problemes i crec que sens dubte és l'oponent més dura perquè és tan alta i tan ràpida.. Ha de caminar amb normalitat a les 185 lliures i no sóc tan gran, així que al principi estàvem una mica preocupats de com arribaríem al seu cos, però finalment ho vam poder esbrinar a l'entrenament i estic segur que el meu joc la sorprendrà molt..

 

 

 

"Esperem que puguem portar una sorpresa i que la gent em vegi i que tothom sàpiga que hi ha més boxejadors fantàstics que no tenen la mateixa exposició o màrqueting que Claressa.. No em sento menyspreat, Veig que aquesta és una oportunitat per mostrar el que he estat treballant. Deixeu-los planificar. Potser aquests plans cauran.

 

 

 

"Serà una gran lluita. Ella ve per la victòria i jo també vinc per la victòria. S'espera una gran sorpresa".

Another exciting battle between well-regarded prospects has been added to the un-televised undercard of Salita Promotions’ “Shields vs. Gabriels” acte divendres, Juny 22, al temple maçònic de Detroit.

 

 

 

In a classic “bull vs. matador” match-up, Kalamazoo, Michigan’s Nicholas “King Beamen” Givhan (21-1-1, 11 KOs) will face undefeated Bakhtiyar “Bakha Bullet” Eyubov (13-0, 11 KOs), from Aktjubinsk, Kazakhstan, sobre 10 exciting super-lightweight rounds.

 

 

 

A six-year pro, Nicholas Givhan has had mixed results, fins ara, against stronger opposition. He fought to a draw with France’s 8-1 Freddy Durand in August 2015 and suffered his lone setback against undefeated top contender Ivan Baranchyk in March 2016. Givhan has won five straight fights since then and was last seen scoring a unanimous decision over rugged veteran Agustin Cicero last February. Givhan is a smooth boxer with good instincts in the ring. The 32-year-old stands 5’ 9” and has a 68” reach.

 

 

 

“Training is going great. I’m putting the work in and prepping for the big fight,” said Givhan. “I’m a very good boxer and I’m looking forward to showing off my craft with no mistakes.”

 

 

 

Givhan says he respects Eyubov, but is confident of coming out on top.

 

 

 

“I would say he’s the toughest opponent I’ve faced so far. He comes and keeps coming and coming. He’s a very in-tight fighter and has nice power. It’s hard to say how the fight will go. Real fighters adapt to any style, so I can’t say if his style is made for mine. I just know that whatever he brings, I’ll be able to adapt.”

 

 

 

A six-year pro, Brooklyn-based Eyubov is originally from Aktjubinsk, Kazakhstan. Un showman carismàtic, Eyubov is a fast-rising prospect who has appeared twice on ShoBox: La Nova Generació. Aleshores es va aturar 16-2-1 Jared Robinson en tres rondes al gener 2016 and took an exciting 10-round split decision from veteran Karim Mayfield in August of the same year. He was last seen in January, when an accidental headbutt forced opponent Maurice Chalmers to quit in round one. The fight was ruled a No Contest. The 31-year-old stands 5’ 6” and has a 65.5” reach.

 

 

 

“I look forward to a great fight on June 22. I am the best junior welterweight in the world – a point I will prove it in this fight,” said Eyubov. “I will show my improved skills, strength and power in the ring. I had a great training camp in Brooklyn, Nova York, with my trainers Nirmal Lorick and Keith Hewitt. This is a very important fight for me I plan on making a statement and showing the world that I am the best and hardest punching man in the division.”

 

 

 

Eyubov says he’ll be looking for another knockout on June 22.

 

 

 

“I know Givhan is a strong fighter and is in great shape and coming to win. The fight is in his hometown but that’s no problem. My plan is not to leave it to the judges June 22nd can’t come soon enough!"

 

 

 

“This is a significant crossroads fight with each fighter understanding the upside of victory and the doom of defeat,” said event promoter Dmitriy Salita. I know Bakha is hungrier than ever to win this fight and make a statement to the junior welterweight division that he is ready for the best. This match has all the ingredients of a great fight.”

 

 

 

“Shields vs. Gabriels” will feature two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and current Unified Women’s Super Middleweight Champion Claressa Shields attempting to become a two-division world champion against unified 154-pound champion Hanna Gabriels for the vacant IBF and WBA Women’s Middleweight World Championships.

If both Shields and Hammer are victorious in their 160-pound bouts on June 22, they will meet in a fall blockbuster on SHOWTIME to determine the undisputed women’s middleweight world champion.

 

How has training camp been so far?

“Training camp has been great. It’s been fun and I’ve been working my butt off. I can’t wait to step in the ring with another champion and make history by winning the world title in my second weight division!"

What can fans expect from you on June 22?

“The fans can expect for me to fight like I’m Okoye from Wakanda! I’ve never been more motivated, more ready, and more able to take on the challenges and achieve my goals. Vull lluitar amb els millors, and I want to be the best ever. I will give everything onJune 22 against Hanna Gabriels to win a world title in my second weight division, then I want Christina Hammer, so we can unify all the middleweight belts, and then my sights will be on getting to the 154-pound world title.”

 

What are some of your future goals in boxing?

“I want to lift women’s boxing for all the women past, present i futur. I want equality for women and men in boxing. I want to be recognized as one of the pound-for-pound best in the sport among both men and women, no gender labels. And I want to be known as the best female boxer ever. Estic a punt. Come to Detroit on June 22 and see me live, watch me on SHOWTIME, and join the team as we make history!"

What have you learned training with John David Jackson?
“Coach John is very knowledgeable, he’s been working with me on my patience. He admires the beast inside of me, but just wants me to control it more and be smart. He’s been to the biggest battles with some great world champions, and I’m glad to have his experience and knowledge on my team.”

What is your typical day like in camp?
“A typical day in camp can go according to either of two plans. Plan 1 is I wake up at 9 sóc, make myself a small breakfast (2 boiled eggs, 2 pieces of turkey bacon and some steamed asparagus) or a fruit smoothie. En 11 am I’m at the gym training. By1:30 pm, I’m at the gym. My workout usually consists of bag drills, mitt work, shadow boxing, jumping rope, speed bag and ring drills. Then I either swim or run at 6 pm the same day. On the days I do Plan 2, I still wake at 9 am and have my breakfast and then 11 am-1:30 pm, I’m in the gym. But right after that, I do strength and conditioning, which consists of box jumps, dumb bell squats, some drills with weights for my upper body, or a four-mile run.”

Have you made any changes to your training and nutrition for your first fight at middleweight?
“Right after my fight with Tori Nelson, I knew I would be fighting next at middleweight, so I stayed in the gym three times a week until Mark (Taffet) told me we secured June 22 on SHOWTIME against Hanna Gabriels. But to properly make middleweight, I had to learn about my body some more. Losing weight is more about a routine than it is about eating less food. The good thing for me is that I like healthy food – my body and mind feel best when I eat that way. The only difference in camp is I eat smaller portions of the food I like and drink a lot more water. This camp I’ve been heavy on fish, all kinds of fish from cod, salmon, Atlantic salmon — with sides of asparagus, sweet potatoes, rice or spinach. And body clock is important, so no eating after 7 pm. I’m feeling great and will be in the best shape of my life when I get in that ring on June 22.”

Who are your sparring partners?

“So far, I’ve sparred with Matt Korobov and Daniyar Yelluisar. I love to spar with men – I find that the strength and speed helps me get the most out of the sparring.”

What have you done differently in preparation for this fight?

“Well I always say this, but I don’t get ready to face my opponents – my trainer John David Jackson focuses more on the opponent than I do. I just get prepared to be the best version of me. I’ve seen film of Hannah and I’m not impressed – I know she’s a champion and I respect that, but I’ve never seen a woman who can stay in the ring with me.

DETROIT (Maig 10, 2018) – Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and unified women’s super middleweight champion Claressa Shields worked out for the media and spoke to local youth Wednesday at The Downtown Boxing Gym in Detroit. The boxing star is two weeks into training camp ahead of her SHOWTIME BOXING: EDICIÓ ESPECIAL showdown Friday, Juny 22 a 10 p.m. ET/PT live on SHOWTIME from the historic Masonic Temple.

 

 

 

Els Shields, de 23 anys, who grew up in nearby Flint, will attempt to become a two-division world champion when she faces unified women’s 154-pound champion Hanna Gabriels for the vacant IBF and WBA Middleweight World Titles.

 

 

 

Ahead of the crucial middleweight world title fight, Shields has altered her preparations significantly. She has changed her diet, switched to renowned trainer John David Jackson and has moved her camp from Michigan to Florida.

 

 

Joining Shields at the workout on Wednesday was Dmitriy Salita, Founder of Salita Promotions. Here is what Shields and Salita had to say.

Claressa Escuts:

On fighting in Detroit…

“To fight in Detroit for a world title on SHOWTIME and to be mentioned with great Detroit fighters like Tommy Hearns and James Toney is incredible. Those guys are known worldwide. It shows me that I have a chance to do the same thing and bring attention to women’s boxing. That’s my goal overall – to make sure women’s boxing lives for a long time”

 

On moving camp to Florida…

“You really can’t deal with unnecessary distractions getting ready for big world title fights like I have been having. You want people pushing you to be better and not have people pulling you down.

 

 

 

“I was dealing with everybody who’s around pulling me left and right and calling me at 2, 3 o’clock in the morning. All this negative stuff that goes on in Flint that 23-year-olds are being involved in is something I can’t be involved in. That initially made me do the whole move. I have to stay focused and work hard on my goal of beating Hanna Gabriels and capturing the world title in a second division.

 

On training with John David Jackson…

“We’re on the same page and we’re always talking about the game plan for Hanna and what we’re going to do and what we have to work on. John doesn’t try to change my style, he just makes small adjustments to improve the good things that got me to this level. I feel great about this camp so far and I look forward to putting it all together in June.”

 

On Hanna Gabriels…

“Hanna is a talented world champion. I have a lot of respect for her skills and accomplishments. It takes great, competitive matches to bring women’s boxing to an elite level and that’s what I want to do. I always said that I want to fight the best. Al juny 22, I look forward to putting on a special performance for the fans watching the fight on SHOWTIME and those at the Masonic Temple. It’s going to be a special night and I can’t wait to capture my second division world title close to home in front of my hometown fans live on SHOWTIME.”

 

On being an inspiration for kids…

“Kids need to know that everything is possible. I decided to be an Olympic gold medalist at the age of 11. I did it when I was 17. How do you stay focused on one goal all that time? Take one step towards it every day, sometimes small and sometimes bigger. Però, the important thing is to keep focused on your goal. If you persevere and work hard enough, truly everything is possible”

 

Dmitriy Salita, Founder of Salita Promotions

“We had a tremendous media turnout at today’s media workout at Detroit Downtown Boxing Club. It’s very special to see such support for Claressa, who’s story and success transcends boxing and is very much in line with the comeback story of Flint and Detroit – “America’s Greatest Comeback City”.

 

 

 

“It’s very meaningful for kids in Detroit gyms like the Downtown Boxing Club to see someone that came from a similar background and neighborhood that they did and accomplish all the amazing things that Claressa is doing. Claressa makes them see and believe that through hard work, belief and focus everything is possible. Boxing is a tool that she has mastered with which to deliver this very important message.

 

 

 

“June 22 is going to be one of the biggest fights of the year and one of the most meaningful and memorable moments in sports and women’s boxing.”

With her long-time rival, Claressa Escuts, moving down to middleweight, Baltimore’s Franchon “The Heavy-Hitting Diva” Crews-Dezurn will finally be getting her own deserved chance to shine.

 

 

 

One of the best female fighters in the world not currently holding a world title, Crews-Dezurn (3-1, 1 KO) will return to the ring for a six-round fight on the non-televised undercard of the blockbuster “It’s Our Time to Shine” event featuring two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and current Unified Women’s Super Middleweight Champion Shields attempting to become a two-division world champion against unified 154-pound champion Hanna Gabriels for the vacant IBF and WBA Women’s Middleweight World Championships.

Not long ago, Crews-Dezurn, an eight-time national amateur champion and two-time medalist at the World Amateur Championships, looked to be the face of American women’s boxing before Shields, a younger boxing prodigy, stole much of her thunder and her spot on the inaugural women’s Olympic boxing team.

 

 

 

The pair faced each other again in their simultaneous pro debuts in late 2016, with Shields winning a decision.

 

 

 

Des de llavors, Crews has signed with Shields’ promoter, Promocions Dmitriy Word of Word, and won three straight fights in impressive fashion.

 

 

 

“Training is going good,” said Crews-Dezurn. “I’ve been helping my husband Glenn get ready for his next fight, so I’m already in great shape. I’m very happy to be getting back in the ring.”

 

 

 

An entrepreneur, cantant, and business student in addition to boxing, the charismatic Crews-Dezurn is as marketable as any fighter could be, but has been forced to live in the sizable shadow cast by the success of Shields.

 

 

 

No obstant això, now that Shields is off chasing a showdown with German counterpart Christina Hammer at middleweight, the super middleweight division has an opening for a new world champion.

 

 

 

“I’d like to be fighting for a title within the next year,” continued Crews-Dezurn. “I know in my heart I’m right there with the best super middleweights in the world. I just need to keep working hard and let things happen like they should.”

 

 

 

Promoter Salita, a champion of women’s boxing and one of the main forces behind its resurgence, says Crews-Dezurn’s day is coming soon.

 

 

 

“Franchon will be world champion in the not-too-distant future,"Ell va dir. “She has all the skills and she works very hard to reach her goals. She deserves all the success she will have. I’m happy to be promoting her career. She’s a very special fighter and person.”

 

 

 

Crews-Dezurn’s opponent is currently TBA. “It’s Our Time to Shine” is presented by Salita Promotions.
