“I’m training really hard and I’m ready to get back in the ring. My weight is perfect right now and I’m just ready to give the fans a great show.
“This is the kind of fight that I asked for because I know that beating a guy like Danny Garcia will mean a lot to my career and put me on the fast track to accomplish my goals.
“Danny has a lot of power on his hook. He throws it hard and is accurate. We’ve worked hard to prepare for this moment and I’m excited.
“Having Robert Garcia here makes me much happier in training. I love the instructions from him and Donald Leary, and I love having them as my corner. Sparring the young guys in Robert’s gym really has helped me. Those guys are hungry and always pushing to prove themselves. I have to keep elevating my game.
“As long as I beat Danny Garcia, I know that it puts me back to the top of this division. I’m here again and I’m doing it right this time. I want to make the most of this part of my career. I don’t want to ever wonder ”what if?'”
“Jeg har tænkt mig at vinde. That’s my mentality. I’m going into this fight with that same hunger and drive to never be defeated. I’m going to do whatever I have to do to win this fight.
“We’re expecting to fight the best version of Danny Garcia. I know he had his first loss and wants his title back, so he’ll be prepared. I think we’re going to give the fans a great show.
“I feel rejuvenated and more mature than ever before. I’ve already been to the top. I just want to do things right this time so I can get back up there and stay there. I’m taking this camp very seriously to be at my best on February 17. I’m going to go out there and execute the game plan.
“We’re going to give 150 tickets to first responders of the Las Vegas incident last year and it means a lot to me and my whole team. Those men and women work very hard and put their lives on the line to protect us all around the world. It means a lot to me for them to come to this show.”
ROBERT GARCIA, Rios’ Trainer
“For this fight Brandon has been so motivated and training so hard. He’s very close to weight already and we’ve had more than enough rounds of sparring.
“Brandon is like my little brother and he’s definitely part of the family. I’ve always been in touch with him even when I wasn’t training him. When we agreed to team up again, the promise was that he had to stay healthy and train hard and show us that he wants to be champion again. Since that day, he’s been on a mission. He’s doing it the right way.
“Danny Garcia is a great two-division world champion. We expect him to be confident and I’m sure he’s training hard to get a good win. Brandon is going to be motivated to give everyone a great fight. His mind set is to go out and beat Danny Garcia and that’s what he’s going to do.
“Brandon is training hard to do what people don’t believe he can do. His confidence is like never before. I see the same Brandon that we’ve seen in the best moments of his career.”

“Du er nødt til at være fokuseret for at lykkes i en kamp som denne, og jeg tror, ​​Brandon Rios ved, at. Jeg træner hårdt, så jeg håber, at han er for. Jeg kommer aldrig til at tage en kamp fra.
“Dette er en klassisk kamp af en bokser puncher versus en slagsbror. Jeg har tænkt mig at være forberedt på alt og starten 2018 ud til højre. Jeg skal være den fighter Jeg har altid været.
“Jeg er sund og stærk og klar til at kæmpe. Jeg lægger tabet til Keith Thurman bag mig og bevæger sig fremad. Jeg er nødt til at fokusere på at være Danny Garcia på Februar 17. Jeg kan ikke trykke og forsøge at gøre for meget, Jeg bare nødt til at få den sejr.
“Vi var begge mestre på samme tid ved 140-pounds, og vi fik ikke en chance for at kæmpe så, men det handler om timing i boksning. Ting tendens til at arbejde ud og vi er nu klar til at gå head-to-head.
“Jeg har aldrig bakke ned, og jeg ved, at Brandon Rios ser, at i mig. Jeg kommer altid til at kæmpe. Det kommer til at være en stor matchup med vores stilarter og vores beslutsomhed.
“Jeg kan lide at se de sidste tre kampe i min modstander. Jeg tror, ​​det giver mig en god indikation af, hvad han vil se ud på kampen nat. Jeg har holdt øje tape for min sidste kamp også, så vi kan få en stor slagplan sammen.
“Jeg følte jeg kæmpede en god kamp mod Thurman. Han vidste ikke rigtig engagere. Jeg tænkte efter fjerde runde blev han dybest set skyggeboksning. Jeg bebrejder ikke ham, fordi du er nødt til at være dum at stå foran mig. Vi vil foretage nogle justeringer og tilføje til det, jeg allerede gør godt.

“Jeg plejede at ikke altid tage uddannelse og min vægt så alvorligt, som jeg burde have. Jeg var ung og dum og jeg lavede fejl. Disse fejl er i min fortid, og jeg er i god form lige nu.
“Jeg har trænet virkelig hårdt at have en fuld benzintank på kampen nat. Jeg kunne have opholdt sig pensioneret men jeg har det stadig i mig, og der er stadig mere jeg kan få ud af denne sport. Jeg virkelig elsker boksning og jeg er glade for at være tilbage i en stor kamp som denne.
“Jeg er altid sikker på, når jeg får i ringen. Under Robert Garcia derinde er at have min bror med mig. Det er bare en anden stemme, som jeg er vant til, og at jeg har tillid til.
“At være tilbage i ringen var en lille smule nervepirrende, men jeg var glad for at få ringen rust off. Jeg gjorde, hvad jeg skulle gøre, og var glad for at komme igennem den oplevelse. Jeg er virkelig taknemmelig for at være i denne position til at kæmpe Danny Garcia.
“Jeg har været klar til at kæmpe nogen af ​​de øverste krigere. Jeg ventede og tog min tid, fordi jeg vidste, at jeg ville kæmpe hvem ville optrappe. Jeg fik, hvad jeg ønskede, og nu er det tid til at udnytte.”
DAVID Benavidez
“Jeg er nødt til at afgive en redegørelse om Februar 17. Jeg forlader Mandalay Bay med bæltet på min skulder. Jeg er nødt til at få knockout, og det er, hvad jeg søger at gøre.
“Det har været min drøm, siden jeg var en lille knægt til at forene titler og det er hvad jeg arbejder hen imod nu. Jeg ønsker at være en af ​​de bedste i historien om vægtklassen og jeg arbejder meget hårdt for at opnå, at.
“Jeg er den yngste super mellemvægt verdensmester i historien, og jeg har tænkt mig at vise Gavril hvorfor. Jeg er meget motiveret til at se endnu bedre end sidste gang og få knockout.
“Jeg voksede op i en tid, hvor alle kæmpede alle. Der var så meget energi og spænding med hver kamp, ​​og det er, hvad jeg søger at bringe til fans. Dette vil være en stor kamp, ​​som du ikke ønsker at gå glip af.
“Jeg føler, at jeg vandt den første kamp klart. Gavril tror, ​​han kommer til at komme og slå mig ud nu, men hvis han har så meget tillid, han skulle have gjort det i den første kamp. Jeg træner ekstremt hårdt lige nu at gå derind og rive ham op.
“Strategien for denne kamp vil være en lille smule anderledes. Vi har nogle ting, som vi planlægger. Men det er stadig vil være en krig, fordi jeg ønsker at være en fan venlig fighter. Jeg håber at stjæle showet.
“Jeg er den mester, så jeg føler, at jeg er i stand til at gøre nogle store kampe i den nærmeste fremtid. Jeg ønsker vinderen af ​​World Boxing Super Series 168-pund turnering. Jeg er beæret over at være i samme kolonne som de andre mestre og jeg kan ikke vente med at komme i ringen med dem.
“Jeg har ikke overse Gavril første gang. Jeg vidste, at han var en udfordrer, og han kom i hård og klar til at kæmpe. Jeg kender hans stil nu, så jeg har tænkt mig at gå på arbejde bliver bedre. Der var en masse ting, jeg skulle have gjort i den første kamp. Jeg har tænkt mig at udnytte denne tid.”
Ronald Gavril
“Jeg troede ikke, at han var så god som folk sagde, at han skulle ind i vores første kamp. Han havde ikke kæmpet nogen reelle krigere, så du så, hvad der skete, da han gik op mod en.
“Jeg er virkelig glad for at være her og være i denne stilling i en omkamp. Jeg vil gerne takke David Benavidez til at indvilge i at kæmpe mig. Jeg troede, at jeg vandt den første kamp, ​​så jeg vidste, jeg ønskede dette straks. Jeg opnået denne omkamp.
“Jeg har lært en masse fra den første kamp. Jeg ved, hvad jeg skal gøre bedre denne gang. Strategien vil blive justeret, og jeg kommer til at arbejde endnu hårdere i lejren for at være klar. Jeg arbejder på at blive det bedste jeg kan mentalt og fysisk.
“Han er en ung fighter, der stadig har en masse ting at lære. Lige nu er han mester, men han bliver nødt til at være klar. Dette vil ikke være en nem kamp for ham. Jeg har tænkt mig derind for at såre ham og vinde kampen.
“Jeg kan gøre en masse ting bedre end i den første kamp. Jeg beviste, at jeg har de færdigheder i den første kamp, og nu vil jeg forbedre for at få den sejr. Jeg er her for en grund. Det kommer ikke til at være en nem kamp for ham.
“Jeg er kun tænker David Benavidez lige nu. Jeg sætte alt ind i denne omkamp og få bæltet. Når jeg vinder, resten vil tage sig af sig selv.”

LAS VEGAS (December 21, 2017) – To-division verdensmester Danny “Swift” Garcia vender tilbage til ringen for at tage på den tidligere verdensmester Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios i en weltervægt opgør på Lørdag, Februar 17 lever videre SHOWTIME på Mandalay Bay Events Center i Las Vegas og præsenteret af Premier Boxing Champions.
I co-feature, boksning yngste verdensmester David “The Red Flag” Benavidez will defend his Super Middleweight World Championship for the first time against Ronald Gavril in a rematch of their thrilling September 2017 bout in which Benavidez won the vacant title by split decision.
The card is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with DSG Promotions. The Benavidez-Gavril rematch is co-promoted by Sampson Boxing. Tickets for the live event go on sale Lørdag, December. 23 på 10 a.m. PST and will be available at AXS.com.
“I’m excited just to get back in the ring,” Said Garcia, who was reigning world champion for the better part of six years dating back to his win over Hall of Famer Erik Morales in 2012 til marts 2017. “I needed the time off to recuperate and let my body heal.”
Garcia (33-1, 19 KOS) was a unified world champion at super lightweight and welterweight and has fought and defeated many of the most formidable opponents in both divisions spanning two generations-Morales, Zab Judah, Kendall Holt, Amir Khan, Lucas Matthysse, Paulie Malignaggi and Lamont Peterson among them. Four of his five opponents in the welterweight division were world champions and 10 af hans sidste 14 opponents were world champions or former world champions.
“I was the reigning champion for six years, so I needed the rest,” continued the 29-year old Philadelphia fighter. “I’m ready to kick off the year in style and take over the welterweight division.”
I sin sidste kamp, a welterweight clash of world title holders, Garcia lost via split decision to now unified 147-pound world champion Keith Thurman in a hard-fought, exciting fight that aired live on CBS. The SHOWTIME BOXING on CBS broadcast drew the biggest boxing audience of the year, mere end fem millioner seere, der fortsat den største publikum at være vidne til et primetime boksning udsendelse siden 1998.
Nu, Garcia ser ud til at genetablere sin engang dominerende stilling på weltervægt, en division, der kan prale flere top-10 pund-for-pund krigere i sporten end nogen anden vægtklasse; krigere herunder verdensmestre Errol Spence Jr., Thurman, Shawn Porter, Kell Brook, Lamont Peterson og mere.
“Det interessante i denne kamp med Brandon Rios er vores stilarter. Vi begge gerne komme frem. Denne form for matchup vil bringe det bedste frem i os begge. Jeg er spændt på at være tilbage i Las Vegas. Jeg har haft nogle af mine bedste præstationer, og nogle af mine største kampe der. Jeg slog Lucas Matthysse og Amir Khan i Vegas. Du kæmper i Las Vegas, du er en superstjerne,” tilføjet Garcia.
Ligesom Garcia, Rios har kæmpet mange af de øverste weltervægt i denne æra, herunder verdensmestre Timothy Bradley og Manny Pacquiao. Den benhård Slugger fra Oxnard, Calif., har 34 vinder, 25 af knockout. Den 31-årige Rios kommer altid parat til at kæmpe. Med en aggressiv stil og granit hage, han er en af ​​de mest underholdende boksere i sporten. I sin sidste kamp scorede han en TKO sejr over Aaron Herrera på Juni 11. En sejr over Garcia, en top-10 weltervægt i sin egen ret, ville straks ændre løbet af Rios’ karriere og krav om, at han skal placeres blandt de top-rangerede i divisionen.
“Jeg er spændt på at bevise mine kritikere galt igen,” Said Rios. “Jeg bringe en ’Bam Bam’ Rios slugfest til mine fans. Danny er en stor fighter, but I will beat him just like I have beat others in the past. I am focused and will make this a classic Mexican-Puerto Rican battle!”
“SHOWTIME is poised to start the year with two crucial welterweight main event matchups,” sagde Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President og General Manager for SHOWTIME Sports®. “Following the January 20th event pitting Errol Spence Jr. vs. Lamont Peterson, Garcia vs. Rios features two of the most battle-tested and ferocious 147-pound fighters in the world. Add in the Benavidez vs. Gavril II co-feature, a fight that is guaranteed to deliver dramatic action, and we are picking up right where we left off in 2017 delivering the most compelling and important matchups in boxing’s deepest divisions.”
“We’re looking forward to the action at Mandalay Bay Events Center in February,” Said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO Mayweather Promotions. “Both Garcia and Rios are seasoned fighters that have faced the toughest competition in the welterweight division and they are both very hungry for a big win. Den co-funktionen omkamp mellem den yngste regerende verdensmester David Benavidez og udfordrer Ronald Gavril vi allerede ved vil være spændende. Alle fire af disse mænd har bevist, at de vil sætte det hele på spil i bokseringen at efterlader ingen tvivl om, hvem den bedre manden er. Desuden, Vi arbejder på en crowd-glædeligt undercard nu. Alle på dette kort skal medbringe deres ’Et spil’ to Las Vegas in order to be victorious on Februar 17.”
“Danny Garcia er en af ​​de mest kamp-testet, dygtige boksere i sporten. What he did in running through the 140-pound division before moving up to welterweight is simply amazing,” sagde Tom Brown, Formand for TGB Promotions. “‘Bam Bam’ Rios is a throwback warrior. He never met a fight that he backed down from. Putting Garcia and Rios into the ring against each other promises nothing but fireworks in a match that should provide maximum entertainment for fans. It’s the kind of fight that belongs in Las Vegas, a classic battle that harkens to welterweight wars of the past. The first match between Benavidez and Gavril left enough room for doubt that a rematch should settle any remaining questions. I’d expect both boxers to come in with something to prove and that translates into a fan-friendly match.”
The 21-year-old Benavidez (19-0, 17 KOS) became the youngest reigning world champion in boxing and the youngest 168-pound champion in history at 20-years, ni måneder gammel, da han scorede et split beslutning mod Gavril at vinde super mellemvægt titel på September 8. Den kamp featured flere gynger af momentum, spændende udvekslinger og en vild 12th omgang. Benavidez og Gavril skubbede hinanden for at levere den bedste ydeevne af deres respektive karrierer hidtil.
“Jeg føler, at jeg vandt kampen,” sagde Gavril umiddelbart efter beslutningen. “Jeg dominerede tempoet. Jeg kan ikke sige noget andet… Det eneste jeg kan gøre er at bede om en omkamp.”
På Februar 17, Gavril vil få det.
“Ingen undskyldninger denne gang,” sagde Sampson Lewkowicz af Sampson Boxing. “I det øjeblik Benavidez færdig kampen jeg anmodede om omkamp-på vegne af vinderen-alene af den grund, at han havde brug for at vinde ved eftertrykkeligt og ikke opdelt beslutning. Jeg ønskede offentligheden at være i stand til at have den omkamp, ​​så alle vil vide, hvem den bedste er. Jeg forventer denne gang Gavril vil sige, at han virkelig er blevet slået. Som den yngste regerende mester i sporten i dag, Jeg ønsker ikke i tvivl om, at Benavidez er det bedre menneske. It was a great fight the first time and this time we’ll see who the best truly is. Ingen undskyldninger. No doubt.”
Kæmper ud af Phoenix, Ariz., Benavidez had scored 10 straight knockouts leading up to the match against Gavril. His eight-round KO victory over Rogelio Medina put him position for the vacant title.
“This is a fight that my father, my team and I decided to take again to show everybody that I’m really the champion and there’s more to me than just being the youngest world champion,” Benavidez said. “I feel like I’m the better fighter and I’m going to definitely show it this time. I learned from that first fight that he puts on a lot of pressure. He likes to throw at the same time that I’m throwing. There are a couple different approaches to take against that. It’s going to be a great night of fights. Danny Garcia and ‘Bam Bam’ Rios, these are two fighters I look up to in the sport and it’s an honor to fight in their undercard. My training has been going well. We decided to bring in a strength and conditioning coach and I feel really strong. I believe I’ll be very prepared.”
Gavril (18-2, 14 KOS) rose rapidly through the ranks by scoring seven straight victories including four by knockout since 2015. The 31-year-old Gavril was born in Bacau, Romania and now lives and fights out of Las Vegas. He fought a brilliant match against Benavidez, seizing control in the middle rounds and even dropping the young contender in the 12th with less than a minute left in the fight. I sidste ende, it wasn’t enough as Gavril lost on two of the three judges’ scorecards.
“I can’t wait to get into the ring again and take that belt,” said Gavril. “I learned his game plan quickly during the first fight, I blocked it well then, and I plan to do the same again. He has fast hands and power, I won’t take that from him, but I am prepared for whatever plan he comes in the ring with. I know I have what it takes to win this time. Preparing for this fight the second time around has been different, training has been more intense, and my team is preparing me to take him out once and for all. I can’t let him win. Some people said I won back in September, and were surprised by my performance. I thought it was close, and I thought the knock down gave me the advantage to win. All I can do is be ready. I don’t think either of us will upset the fans on fight night. I want to thank Floyd Mayweather and Leonard for another opportunity against Benavidez. He’s a great fighter and tough competitor and this will certainly be a great fight.”

FACE OFF SAMUEL VARGAS vs. ALI FUNEKA NABA Welterweight Championship

Efterlad en kommentar
PRESSEMEDDELELSE
Samuel Vargas vs. Ali Funeka
Headlines “Face Off” in NABA title fight
August. 19 in Brampton, Canada

TORONTO, Ontario, Canada (Juli 5, 2017) – North American Boxing Association welterweight champion Samuel Vargas has been on boxing’s biggest stage and he’s determined to prove that he still belongs there.
The 28-year-old Vargas (27-3-1, 14 KOS) steps up in one of the most significant fights of his career, August 19, as he defends his NABA title against three-time world title challenger Er “Rush Hour” Funeka (39-6-3, 31 KOS) in the main event of Lee Baxter Promotions’ (LBP) second event at the Brampton Powerade Centre, “Face Off”, in Brampton, Ontario, Canada.
.
Vargas-Funeka is inarguable one of the highest-level bouts to be staged in Toronto in several years.
“Sam is still at a stage in his career where he’s improving and to challenge a guy who’s been a world title contender for the better part of a decade shows that he’s still hungry and still wants to test himself,” promotor Lee Baxter sagde.
.
The tough-as-nails Vargas, who fights out of Toronto, is riding the momentum of a dominant win by 10-round unanimous decision over Armando Robles (31-5-2, 18 KOS), at LBP’s first Powerade Centre event this past March, as well as a homecoming victory for Colombia-native’s fifth-round knockout this past May over former world title challenger Marco Antonio Avendano (30-10-1, 22 KOS).
An impressive victory over his battled-tested South African opponent will certainly re-position Vargas in the world boxing scene, where he was a little more than year ago, when he fought two of the premier welterweights in the world, former WBA Super World Super Lightweight titlist Danny Garcia (32-0, 19 KOS), and current International Boxing Federation (IBF) Verdensmester Errol Spence Jr. (15-0, 12 KOS), in losing yet invaluable fight experiences for Vargas against world-class opponents.
“We always have our eye on big fights for Sam. A win over Funeka would really resonate in the boxing world,” Baxter added.
Funeka has some unfinished business in the “Great White North” having lost in 2009 in one of the most controversial decisions in recent memory to Joan Guzman (29-0) i Quebec City. Although many viewers had Vargas defeating Guzman, including HBO’s unofficial scorer Harold Lederman, who scored the bout 117-111 for Funeka and called for an investigation into the judging that soon followed, resulted in a questionable 12-round majority draw for the vacant IBF World Lightweight Championship.
“Canadian fans have always had a soft spot for Funeka,” Baxter noted. “The crowd at the Pepsi Coliseum was on his side and they fell in love with him that night. He deserves this fight as much as Sam does.”
Ikke desto mindre, Funeka has remained a fighting contender ever since, going on the road and battling some of the sport’s top stars. Sidste år, he upset previously undefeated Russian prospect Viskhan “Lille Tyson” Murzabekov (12-0) by 12-round decision in his opponent’s homeland. Mere for nylig, the dangerous South African veteran fought a bloody battle with Jeff Horn (15-0-1), who last Saturday upset future Hall-of-Famer Manny Pacquiao to become the new World Boxing Organization (WBO) 147-pound division world champion. Funeka even dropped the tough Australian before being stopped in the sixth round of their fight last December in New Zealand.
Funeka represents a measuring stick for Vargas to gauge comparisons of him against some of the top welterweights in the world.
Will Vargas have an easier time with Funeka than Horn? The answer will be known August. 19.

CURRENT & FORMER WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPIONS WEIGH-IN ON KELL BROOK vs. ERROL SPENCE IBF 147-POUND WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP THIS SATURDAY LIVE ON SHOWTIME®

Efterlad en kommentar

 

Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard, Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter & More Discuss The Latest In Series Of Welterweight Blockbusters

 

SHOWTIME Championship Boxing® Live At 5:15 p.m. OG/2:15 p.m. PT From Bramall Lane In Sheffield, England

 

NEW YORK (Maj 23, 2017) – IBF Welterweight World Champion Kell Brook and undefeated rising star Errol Spence face off denne lørdag bor på SHOWTIME (5:15 p.m. OG/2:15 p.m. PT) in the latest in a series of significant welterweight matchups between the best fighters in one of boxing’s deepest divisions.

 

Six of the top eight welterweights in the world* will have fought in the first five months of 2017 – all on SHOWTIME or CBS – as a de facto tournament continues in the 147-pound class to determine the No. 1 fighter in a division long controlled by the retired Floyd Mayweather.

*Source: Transnational Boxing Rankings

 

WBA and WBC Welterweight World Champion Keith Thurman unified the titles on Marts 4 with a split-decision victory over Danny Garcia in a rare matchup of undefeated champions. Lamont Peterson picked up the secondary WBA Regular title on Februar. 18, og April 22 Shawn Porter knocked out Andre Berto to become the mandatory challenger to Thurman’s WBC belt. The remaining welterweight champion, Manny Pacquiao, is set to defend his WBO title against Jeff Horn on Juli 2.

 

Now it’s Brook and Spence’s turn to take center stage in boxing’s glamour division.

 

Denne lørdag i Sheffield, England, Brook (36-1, 25 KOS) will make the fourth defense of the IBF belt he won via majority decision over Porter in 2014. The 31-year-old, der aldrig er blevet slået ned, will be the decided hometown favorite in front of what is expected to be 25,000-plus fans in the first world title fight in the 162-year history of Bramall Lane.

 

The 27-year-old Spence (21-0, 18 KOS) has long been considered one of boxing’s most prized prospects. The IBF’s No. 1 contender has knocked out eight straight opponents and has improved as his level of opposition has risen – his last six opponents held an impressive combined record of 151 wins against just eight losses. The Dallas resident travels abroad for this long-awaited title opportunity as he attempts to become the first American to dethrone an Englishman on British soil in nearly a decade.**

 

With both Spence and Brook affirming their intention to unify the division after Maj 27, see below for what legendary Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard and current top welterweights have to say about Lørdagens IBF title matchup.

 

SUGAR RAY LEONARD – Former Undisputed Welterweight World Champion

“I’m really excited about this fight in particular, mainly because both fighters have to be on their A-game. I know there is talk about Kell’s eye surgery being a psychological problem, but from personal experience, I don’t see that being the case. I never thought about my eye once the doctor gave me the green light.

 

“To ask me who is going to win this fight, I have my favorite in Errol Spence. Men, based on the each fighter’s physical artillery, one punch can turn the tables around. Der bliver sagt, I am going to sit back and watch a great night of boxing.”

 

KEITH THURMAN – Unified WBA & WBC Welterweight World Champion

“This is an interesting fight. I have not followed Kell too much, but I have obviously seen Errol fight in the U.S. Errol is a tough, young fighter who is just getting into the public’s eye, and Kell obviously has the strength of the British crowd on his side.

 

“It should be a tough fight that really speaks to the strength of the welterweight division. Both fighters are men that I would be open to fighting as I continue to unify the division in 2018. As a fight fan, let’s see what’s ‘Special’ about Kell Brook, and we’ll see if Errol Spence can show us he’s ‘The Truth.’ It should be a great fight and I’ll be watching.”

 

DANNY GARCIA – Former Welterweight World Champion

“I think this is a 50/50 kamp. I think the person with the better game plan is going to win. There is a lot of pressure to go into someone’s backyard like Spence is doing, and he’s never faced a fighter in his prime before like Brook. It is definitely a test for him and a big step up in competition. If he is ready, he can do it. He just has to go in there and stay focused.

 

“The welterweight division is the best division in boxing. I still feel like I am one of the best welterweights in the world even though I came up short. I never thought I would say a loss would make me stronger because I didn’t see myself losing. I want my titles back and to be seen as the best in the best division.”

 

SHAWN PORTER – Former Welterweight Champion & Current WBC No. 1 Contender

“I’m glad Errol is getting his title shot, and I’m happy he’s going to England for it. I’m obviously pulling for the American. Errol is a phenomenal athlete and a great boxer. I think he’s ready to show the world something, but Kell is right up there in that top tier of welterweights. People who tune in should be thrilled. I know I’m looking forward to it.

 

“The welterweight division is awesome, top to bottom. We’re right where we need to be and should be. Boxing returning back to the masses with PBC came at the perfect time for me and the rest of the top welterweights. There are so many of us capable of winning a title right now.”

 

LAMONT PETERSON – WBA (Regular) Welterweight World Champion

“This is going to be a tough fight, but I think Errol should win. At least I’m pulling for Errol to win. He’s got to overcome the idea that there will probably be 30,000 people cheering against him, so he has to show the judges that he deserves to win.

 

“Brook is a good fighter and is going to bring his best, but I think Errol, in the end, is the better fighter. But he will have to prove it.

 

“The welterweight division is one of the best in boxing right now. We’ve got a lot of good fighters in their prime making the division strong. And guys are willing to fight each other. We are seeing the kind of fights the fans want to see. If this keeps up it could bring boxing back to where it was in the days when Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns and Marvin Hagler all fought each other. So it’s really good for boxing right now.”

 

**Timothy Bradley dethroned another Sheffield native, Junior Witter, i 2008 in Nottingham.
