LAS VEGAS, NV (Oktubre 30, 2020)– Undefeated WBC lightweight world championDevin “Ang damgo” Haney (24-0, 15 KOs), will return to the ring on November 7, 2020, against former 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist and two-time world championYuriorkis Gamboa (30-3, 18 KOs).
Haney vs. Gamboa is a 12-round world title fight taking place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, and will be the main event on a highly anticipatedMatchroom USAcard in association withMga Promosyon sa Devin Haney, broadcast on DAZN.
Here is what Devin Haney, the WBC Lightweight Champion, had to say ahead of his fight with Gamboa as he wraps up his final day of training camp in Las Vegas.
On his recent training camp in Las Vegas.
“I stay in the gym, I basically live in the gym, so once camp begins, I put my all into training. I do not want to be outworked, and I am driven by those around me. I am extremely focused right now. I’m going to be the face of boxing.”
On returning after his shoulder injury.
“No athlete wants to ever be injured. I took the time I needed to, listened to the doctors, and let my body rest. One good thing from the social distancing and stay-at-home orders was it occurred during the time I was recovering so I was able to be fully rested once the gyms reopened. I am now 100% and better than ever, you will see on fight night.”
On his matchup with Yuriorkis Gamboa.
“Gamboa has done a lot in the sport, and the fact that he gave a lot of fighters tough fights, says a lot about him. I want to prove a point in this bout that a lot of people are not mentioning my name amongst the best in the world, and I am looking to change that by putting forth a performance against Gamboa that no one has ever seen before. I respect Gamboa as a fighter, but in the ring, I will have no respect for him at all. In the ring he is my enemy.
On what a spectacular win means for your career.
“Obviously, a win gives me my 2nd world title defense which is very important to me. Title defenses shows a lot about what kind of fighter you really are. I don’t care how you won it or who you won it from…can you defend the world title against all challengers? That’s what I represent as a throwback champion. You can have a strategy to get there but when you become a champion you become a target. Tank Davis, Teofimo Lopez and Ryan Garcia are all great potential opponents for me. I’d rather fight sooner than later but they have to feel the same way about me. I have a goal to be the first billionaire boxer, and to do that I have to put forth billion-dollar performances. That’s exactly what I’m going to do on November 7th in Miami.”

Ang kampiyon sa WBC Lightweight nagdepensa sa Nob. 7 - Super-Middleweight grudge match sa Nob. 27
Gidepensahan ni Devin Haney ang iyang titulo sa WBC World Lightweight kontra Yuriorkis Gamboa sa Sabado, Nov. 7 ug si Daniel Jacobs makigsangka ni Gabriel Rosado sa Biyernes, Nov. 27, pareho sa likud nga sirado nga pultahan ug napailalom sa istrikto nga mga protokol sa COVID-19 sa Hard Rock Live sa Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Hollywood Casino, Florida, mabuhi sa DAZN.
Haney (24-0, 15 KOs) ningbalik og aksyon sa labing unang higayon gikan sa Nobyembre 2019 human nasamad ang iyang tuo nga abaga sa pagkakita sa Alfredo Santiago sa unang pagdepensa sa iyang bakus sa LA. Ang 21-anyos nga sensasyon adunay malampuson nga operasyon sa kadaot ug andam na karon nga ipadayon ang iyang paninguha nga pagdominar ang usa ka 135 lbs. talan-awon nga nabulit sa daghang mga ngalan.
Una sa iyang lista sa hit ang Gamboa (30-3, 18 KOs), ang kanhi pinaghiusa nga Hari sa Buhok sa Kalibutan ug bayani nga taga-Cuba, pagsunod sa iyang medalya nga bulawan sa Olimpiko. Tumong ni Gamboa nga mahimo’g duha ka gibug-aton nga magmamando sa Kalibutan sa ikatulong pagsulay nga gihagit nila Terence Crawford ug Gervonta Davis alang sa ilang titulo, apan masaligon si Haney nga paghari niya ang iyang paghari sa istilo.
"Si Yuriokis Gamboa usa ka peligro ug kasinatian nga manlalaban,”Ingon ni Haney. "Siya usa ka us aka pinaghiusa nga kampeyon sa kalibutan, ug siya naa sa singsing uban ang pipila nga labing kaayo. Gisakitan niya si Terence Crawford sa usa ka dakong shot, busa ang iyang gahum dili igasalikway. Gipilde niya si Orlando Salido nga nagpilde kang Vasiliy Lomachenko. Wala pa usa ka tuig ang nilabay gikuha niya si Gervonta Davis sa ika-12 nga hugna, usa ka butang nga wala pa mahimo bisan kinsa. Si Gamboa usa ka tinuud nga manggugubat ug dili ko siya gaan-gaan. Gitawag ko ang tanan nga mga nag-una nga ngalan, ug sa katapusan nakakuha ako usa ka tawo nga mohagit kanako alang sa akong titulo. Tuyo nako nga mohimo usa ka pahayag sa kini nga away. Naa sa laing lebel ang akong kagutom. Panahon na aron ipakita sa kalibutan kung kinsa ang pinakamaayong manlalaban sa boksing ug kana ako!"
"Dako ang akong pasalamat sa Diyos sa pagtugot nga mahitabo kini nga away ug alang sa milagro sa pag-ayo sa akong Achilles,”Ingon ni Gamboa. "Nagdamgo ako ug nagtinguha nga makig-away alang sa WBC Green Belt gikan pa sa ako usa ka amateur sa Cuba. Andam ako ug determinado nga makuha ang kini nga titulo alang sa akong mga fans ug pamatud-an ang mga nagsulat kanako nga sayup sa usa ka hugasan nga manlalaban. Mubo ang akong naabut batok ni Davis tungod sa akong Achilles sa ikaduhang hugna, apan giaway nako ang nahabilin nga away sa usa ka tiil, nasakitan siya sa mga gitunga nga bilog. Makita nimo ang usa ka himsog nga away sa Gamboa sa akong duha nga mga paa, mga kamao ug manggugubat nga kasingkasing ko. Sa mga panalangin sa Diyos mogawas ako nga mananaog Nob. 7."
Si Jacobs ug Rosado nagkausa usa ka panag-indigay sa miaging tuig ug karon nagsugod sa usa ka ulo tulo ka semana pagkahuman sa Haney vs.. Gamboa.
Jacobs (36-3, 30 KOs) naghimo sa unang mga lakang sa iyang target nga mahimong two-weight World champion nga adunay kadaugan batok kang Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.. sa Phoenix, Arizona kaniadtong Disyembre. Kana ang "Miracle Man's" unang pag-una sa 168-lbs. talan-awon pagkahuman sa duha ka higayon nga King Middleweight king nga ningbalhin gikan 160 lbs. pagkahuman sa iyang panagsama nga panagsangka sa Canelo Alvarez sa Las Vegas kaniadtong Mayo 2019.
Pink (25-12-1, 14 KOs) nagpakita sa undercard sa Phoenix ug nakigsangka ni Jacobs una sa timbang. Ang Philly ace nagtala usa ka napulo nga puntos nga kadaugan sa gabii nga mibalik sa mga nagdaog nga paagi pagkahuman sa iyang kulbahinam nga away ug Maciej Sulecki sa home turf kaniadtong Marso 2019, ug ang 34 nga tuig ang edad mogawas aron makigsangka alang sa bangga sa World title nga gipangita ni Jacobs.
"Gisulti ni Gabe ang iyang pagpakig-away ug karon oras na aron mahibal-an kung mahimo ba niya kini masuportahan,”Ingon ni Jacobs. "Adunay siya usa ka dako nga baba ug gidala niya ang akong ngalan kanunay sa sobra sa usa ka tuig - apan sa Nob. 27 mihunong ang sulti ug dili na ako makahulat aron siya mapahilum. Ang akong katuyoan mao ang mahimong usa ka duha ka gibug-aton nga dibisyon sa World champion sa 2021 ug nagsugod kana sa usa ka dakong kadaugan sa Florida. Human nga, Andam na ako nga modako ug makigsangka sa usa sa mga kampiyon sa Kalibutan sa 168 mobanlas. "
"Naghinamhinam gyud ako sa away,”Ingon ni Rosado. "Adunay daghang balik-balik taliwala nako ug ni Jacobs, ug alang sa katapusan nga away, Labi na ako sa kaandam. Gisugdan nako ang pagbansay sa kampo kauban si Freddie Roach sa LA sa Wild Card Boxing, ug gitan-aw ko lang nga ibutang ang usa ka impyerno alang sa mga fans. Siguradong dad-on ko ang away kay Danny ug kini mahimo’g maayo. ”
Ang parehas nga mga panghitabo nagpatong sa mga undercard aron suportahan ang punoan nga kalihokan. Adunay usa ka Heavyweight nga palami sa Haney card nga adunay talento sa Croatia nga si Filip Hrgovic (11-0, 9 KOs) nag-atubang sa Amerikanong si Rydell Booker (26-3, 13 KOs) ug ang bituon sa China nga si Zhilei Zhang (21-0, 18 KOs) nakigtagbo sa us aka Amerikano sa Devin Vargas (22-6, 9 KOs). Tulo ka mga batan-ong bitoon ang nagpadayon sa ilang pro nga panaw sa balaudnon sama sa Reshat Mati (7-0, 5 KOs), Raymond Ford (6-0, 2 KOs) ug Arthur Biyarslanov (6-0, 5 KOs) naa sa aksyon sa pasundayag - ug ang Matchroom nalipay sa pagpahibalo sa pagpirma sa Pranses nga bituon nga si Souleymane Cissokho (11-0 7 KOs) sa us aka multi-fight deal ug hatagan niya kahon ang bayranan, ug daghang mga detalye sa deal alang sa Anthony Joshua nga nagdumala sa Super-Welterweight moabut sa Lunes.
Si Marc Castro mag-debut sa undercard sa Jacobs vs.. Pink. Ang talento sa Fresno gilaraw aron mahimo ang iyang pana sa bayad nga ranggo sa Tulsa, Oklahoma sa Agosto, apan nagpositibo siya sa COVID-19. Karon ang pagbati sa amateur sa katapusan naggapos sa kanila ug gisalmutan sa undercard sa kauban nga mga amateur nga magmamando sa medalya sa bulawan nga Olimpiko nga si Daniyar Yeleussinov (9-0, 5 KOs), tulo ka beses nga World amateur champion nga Magomedrasul Majidov (2-0, 2 KOs), ug mga batan-ong talento nga si Nikita Ababiy (9-0, 6 KOs) ug Alexis Espino (6-0, 4 KOs).
"Dili ko makahulat sa among U.S. pagbalik sa Florida - duha nga gisuksok nga kard nga adunay daghang pagsakay sa kanila,"Miingon promoter Eddie Hearn. "Ang Lightweight division nasunog ug wala’y labi ka maayo nga oras alang sa pagbalik ni Devin sa aksyon ug paghimo usa ka dako nga pahayag sa Hard Rock. Bisan kung mahimo nga si Devin ang sunod nga dakong butang, pag tan-aw nimo sa iyang CV, Si Yuriorkis mao ang labing lisud nga pagsulay hangtod karon. Paglabay sa pila ka semana, ang dili maayo nga dugo taliwala nila Daniel ug Gabe moabut sa usa ka ulo samtang sila magsangka, ug ang magdaog sa maong away makit-an ang ilang kaugalingon sa usa ka maayong posisyon alang sa usa ka shot sa titulo sa Kalibutan 168 lbs. kaniadtong 2021. ”
"Adunay daghang mga makapaikag nga laraw sa parehas nga mga undercard. Ang Heavyweights naa sa spotlight sa Nob. 7, kauban sila Filip ug Zhilei, duha nga mga manggugubat sa kalibutan nga nagtan-aw nga mapusta ang ilang mga pag-angkon alang sa dagko nga away sa sunod tuig, sama sa Magomedrasul nga moaway sa Nob. 27."
"Naguba si Marc nga ang iyang debut gi-postpone apan ang pagbati sa Fresno nakatutok pag-usab ug dili kini usa ka daotang butang nga magkat-on aron masagubang ang usa ka kakulian nga ingon ana - nagtrabaho siya og maayo sa pagbansay., ug sa akong hunahuna makakita kita usa ka katingad-an nga debut. ”
"Naglinya kami usa ka dako nga pagsulay alang kang Daniyar, ug daghan sa mga batan-ong bituon sa kard nagsugod sa pag-adto sa mga yugto sa ilang karera diin mobalhin sila sa sunod nga lebel busa gipaabut nako ang duha nga makapaukyab nga gabii nga aksyon sa Sunshine State. "
Hard Rock Live ug Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Ang Casino Hollywood sa Florida adunay daghang kasaysayan sa pag-host sa boksing nga bantog sa tibuuk kalibutan dugang sa mga buhat sa kalingawan nga giila sa kalibutan sama ni Jerry Seinfeld, Alicia Keys ug Aerosmith.
