LONDON – February 23, 2019 - Юбенк молодший. earned a career-defining victory with a hard-fought unanimous decision over British rival and former two-time world champion James DeGale in a super middleweight grudge match Saturday on SHOWTIME from The O2 in London.



Eubank, the son of British boxing legend and former two-division world champion Chris Eubank Sr., floored DeGale twice en route to the clear decision, який був забитий 114-112, 115-112, 117-109. Відео Основні: https://s.sho.com/2E6mWI8



Working in his first bout with a full-time trainer, Eubank fought a controlled fight. The former world title challenger floored DeGale in a rough moment in the second, stunning his rival with a big left hook against the ropes and flooring him moments later with a strong right cross that sent DeGale to the canvas for just the second fight of his career.



DeGale, who established his championship career as a slick southpaw, was unable to jab at range and couldn’t handle the constant pressure from Eubank. The former Olympic Gold Medalist resorted to lunging from the outside and was largely ineffective on the inside, often clinching while in close quarters.



“I knew he was going to come at me like that,” Eubank said. “He’s a slick southpaw, but my game plan worked. Smart pressure and not getting too ahead of myself. He’s a hell of a fighter, hell of a competitor but at the end of the day my head and my heart won this fight.”



“There was a lot of animosity leading to this fight. Я сказав йому, ‘This is my time,’ and it was. He’s a veteran of the game, he throws big shots and he manages to stay up. To get up after those knockdowns is a statement about his tenacity and the type of fighter he is.”



The second knockdown came in the 10ї as Eubank landed a powerful left hook that buckled DeGale with just 30 секунд до кінця раунду. Ще раз, DeGale tried to clinch to avoid the knockdown, but his hand touched the canvas and was ruled just the third knockdown of his career.



Після бою, DeGale, who was the first British fighter to earn an Olympic Gold Medal and a world championship, appeared to be leaning toward retirement.



“I definitely I didn’t do enough,” DeGale said. “He was on it and I didn’t do enough. You have to do more than enough to counter someone that came forward like Chris.



“I’m going to go back and talk to my team, моя родина, and decide. I left my mark in boxing. I won an Olympic Medal, two world titles and it may be the time to hang it up.”



While DeGale contemplates retirement, Eubank has his sights set on another shot at a world title.



“This was the most important fight of my career, and I made a statement. I’m back where I’m supposed to be, at the top of the food chain. I’m coming for all the belts in the middleweight and super middleweight division. I’m fighting everyone they put in front of me.



“I’m glad to make my American debut here on SHOWTIME. I’m glad to be introduced to the American public this way – making a statement.”



У першому бою Даблхедер SHOWTIME ЧЕМПІОНАТ БОКС, undefeated heavyweight Joe Joyce kept his knockout record intact with a sixth-round TKO of former heavyweight world champion Bermane Stiverne.



After an exciting first round, Joyce opened up the action in the second with a monstrous straight right and unloaded from bell to bell against a defenseless Stiverne, who continued to punch back despite eating damaging shots. After a series of combos in the opening minute of the third, Joyce caught Stiverne with a straight right hand to send him to the canvas for the fifth time in his professional career. Stiverne survived the round while throwing looping shots but failed to return any meaningful punches.



Joyce, the 2016 Olympic Silver Medalist, consistently set up a powerful straight right behind an accurate and effective left jab throughout the fight. With Joyce (8-0, 8 КО) continuing to tee off against a largely defenseless Stiverne, referee Howard Foster stepped in to halt the contest at 2:26 of the sixth. Stiverne (25-4-1, 21 КО) did not protest the stoppage.



“Big respect to Stiverne – like a true champion, he’s very tough and was still throwing shots, but I guess I was just a bit too much,” Joyce said. “It was about being patient. He’s such a tough guy that he took those shots no problem.



“I was hitting him with everything I had, including the kitchen sink. I listened to Abel (Санчес) in the corner, did everything he said and it went well. My jab was really effective. I’m a seasoned vet. I picked up my poise and remained calm along the way.



“Big things are coming. My next one will be for the WBA Regular (Назва) and I’ll be back in the gym soon. I need to have a couple more fights like this and then I’ll be ready for the big champions.”



Highlights of former world champion Lee Selby’s lightweight debut were featured during Saturday’s telecast. A former champion at featherweight, Селбі (27-2, 9 КО) overcame a second round accidental head butt to win a 12-round unanimous decision (116-112, 116-112, 115-114) over Omar Douglas (19-3, 13 КО).



An encore presentation of Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader will air tonight/Saturday at 10 p.m. ET/PT на SHOWTIME EXTREME, Sunday at 9 a.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME and Monday at 10 p.m. ET/PT на SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Колишній дворазовий чемпіон світу, Chris Eubank Sr., was in attendance and not shy about stating this is not going to be an easy fight for his son. “This is a 50/50 fight and for the first time I am petrified of what the outcome can be. I am petrified that Junior may not win this fight,"Він сказав.



The event is promoted by Poxon Sports and presented by Premier Boxing Champions. Joyce-Stiverne is promoted in association with Ringstar Sports and Don King Productions. The doubleheader will air live in the U.S. exclusively on SHOWTIME and on ITV Box Office in the U.K.

Three Hall of Famers will round out the telecast team – Emmy® нагородами репортер Джим Грей, boxing historian Steve Farhood as unofficial ringside scorer, and world-renowned ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr.



Here’s what the fighters and their respective camps had to say during Thursday’s press conference at Intercontinental at The O2:



Джеймс DeGale:

“I vacated my title for fights like this. Chris Eubank has been calling my name for a long time and finally I get a chance to punch him in his face.



“I have no respect for him. None. This guy is a diluted idiot. And on Saturday night I can’t wait to deal with him. I’m going to come and give it to him properly. He can’t box. We’ve all heard this before.



“This is the biggest fight of his career. It’s retirement time. Whoever loses this fight is finished. It’s do or die on Saturday…His retirement fight is here. It’s his last fight, Я обіцяю вам, що.



“I’m proven. Я був там, зробити що. I’ve won everything. He’s done nothing. And I’m going to retire him.



“Eubank is a tough fighter, він сильний. He has a lot of good attributes, but I’m too good for him. To mix it up and go to the very top you need more than strength and toughness. Every time he’s stepped up, he’s lost.



“The fear of losing is because I know what’s on the line. This is do or die. If I can’t beat him, if I can’t beat Chris Eubank Jr., Я все.



“A lot of people think I’ve seen better days. A lot of people think I’m on the decline. I’ve had issues in the past, but I can honestly say I’m fully fit. I’m in the best shape I’ve been for a long, довгий час, physical and mentally. When I feel like I feel no one can beat me.



“If I can’t beat Chris that means I’m shot, that means I’m over the hill.”



CHRIS EUBANK JR.:

“This guy is a bum. He talks a good game. He’s going to have a good go, but at the end of the day I’m going to be too much for him.



“We are both at a stage where we can’t lose. We are both fighting for our careers. He knows he can’t handle me. He’s asking himself, ‘Can I survive?’ And the answer is absolutely not.



“There’s nothing he can do in that ring that I can’t handle. I’m going to box his head off.



“I’ve got a full time trainer now. For the first time in my career, I have a trainer day in and day out focusing on strategy to prepare me for what James is – a slick southpaw. That’s why I’m so confident. If he wants to run, we have the gameplan. If he wants to stand and swing, we have the gameplan. We have a plan for everything.



“What matters is that James’ career is over in a few days. I sent him a message after he lost to [Джордж] Groves saying he needs to keep up because we are going to fight one day. And now that we’re finally here I look into his eyes and I don’t see a confident guy.



“It’s my time. I’m expecting the best he’s ever been and that’s still not going to be enough.



“I’m a world-level fighter. Anyone in the boxing game knows that. This is my opportunity to prove that once and for all to set the record straight and prove I’m the real deal. I know this is a defining fight in my career. It is do or die and I’m ready for that.



“James knows what’s coming. Зрештою,, his last performances haven’t been up to par, but i don’t think he respected his [past] противники. He respects me, and I respect him and that’s why this is a real fight.



“I’ve been in the game for a long time but this is just the beginning of a long journey for me. This is my biggest fight. Я повинен виграти. Якщо я виграю, I’m back on the world stage. Beating James DeGale sets me up for a world title which is the whole reason I started in this game.”





Джим Макдоннелл:

“There are levels to boxing. Chris was a good prospect coming through but he’s not on the same level as James. He’ll find out what it takes to be a world champion. James DeGale is levels above Chris Jr.



“Chris may have all the drive he needs but he doesn’t have the skills to beat James DeGale.



“I know James is not losing. James DeGale is probably the best British fighter I’ve seen in my country.”





CHRIS EUBANK SR.:

“I’ve seen the pinnacle of James and it’s intoxicating. With Chris, not everything I’ve said has been applied. It may have been heard, but not applied. What I said works. I wouldn’t have 19 championship wins if it didn’t.



“I’m not convinced [Chris will win] because James DeGale has pedigree. Being an [Olympic] Gold Medalist and former world champion is real. I respect the man’s abilities. Junior hasn’t.



“My son looks at the physical aspect of boxing and, from a physical point of view, I don’t think there is anyone who can stand with him. But boxing isn’t just physical – it’s also spiritual, and that’s where Junior lacks. I don’t know whether he has that.



“This is a 50/50 fight and for the first time I am petrified of what the outcome can be. I am petrified that Junior may not win this fight.



“This is the wisdom of someone who has been here. You never underestimate your opponent based on past performances. Anyone who thinks this guy is on a slide because of past performances is making a mistake.



“From a physical aspect, Junior has the upper hand. From a spiritual aspect and pedigree aspect, James has the upper hand, and that’s why this is a 50/50 боротьба.



“I do know Chris has learned and let’s see what is produced. It can be a brilliant fight.”





Полі Маліньяджі:

“I like our chances. I know the guy that I have been in camp with. The things I’ve seen, I like. They are much more positive this time around.



“You can’t underestimate a guy like Eubank. He always comes to win. Але, regardless of the gameplan, there is a certain mentality and my guy has it. He’s a Gold Medalist and he knows what mentality to bring on Saturday.



“James has won two major world titles, an Olympic Gold Medal. Chris has had some good wins but when he went to that elite level, he lost. Chris is a good fighter but he’s not beaten this level of opposition.”

After voluntarily vacating the belt, DeGale stopped veteran Fidel Munoz his last time out.

The rivalry between DeGale and Eubank has been brewing for several years after a series of run-ins. The duo has sparred each other in the gym and have traded several verbal jabs on social media. Eubank, who has been training in Las Vegas at the Mayweather Boxing Club, has won nine out of his last ten fights and has registered knockouts in eight of those wins.

Stiverne (25-3-1, 21 КО), who was the first ever Haiti-born boxer to own a piece of the heavyweight crown, won the WBC title with a convincing sixth-round TKO over Chris Arreola in 2014. Stiverne then lost the belt in his next fight against Deontay Wilder, despite becoming the first fighter to take the current American champion the distance. The 40-year-old has not fought since his loss in the 2017 rematch against Wilder but is anxious to bounce back with a statement win over the highly regarded Joyce.

МакГіверн завоював титул у легкій важкій категорії на історичному заході Клактон-он-Сі.

Звіт з рингу: Джанлука Ді Каро

 

У суботу ввечері в Театрі Принцес у Клактон-он-Сі, Ессекс, Після майже професійного боксу в приморське містечко повернувся дуже довго 80 роки, коли Томмі Джейкобс з Колчестера представив свою останню акцію з боксу, влучна назва «Історія».

 

Попередній професійний бокс у місті, ще в лютому 1939, подивіться, як ірландець Майк Каван переміг лондонського Чарлі Мака в нещодавно відкритому таборі для відпочинку Butlin’s.

 

Клактон — місто, яке пронизує історію боксу, хоча з часів другої світової війни переважно любительського різновиду, насправді Томмі Джейкобс сам багато разів воював у місті протягом своєї аматорської кар'єри, і один із великих спортсменів увічнений рестораном у боулінгу на пірсі Клактон, Армстронга, названа на честь американського боксера Джона Генрі Армстронга, який також переміг чемпіона Великобританії Ерні Родеріка 1939.

 

Здавалося досить доцільним, щоб у першому з змагань з професійного боксу цієї нової ери брав участь нинішній Всесвітній боксерський фонд (WBF) Чемпіон світу та Європи, а також організатор заходу, Томмі Джейкобс, у змаганнях з Дандолком у шістьох раундах, які не входять до чемпіонату, Майкл Келлі з Ірландії.

 

Відразу з першого дзвінка Джейкобс вступив у бій до свого досвідченого суперника, хоча і лише з попередніми тестами, але в міру проходження раунду дія ставала більш насиченою, Джейкобс підтримує Келлі на канатах, перш ніж дозволити розірвати тіло та голову гладкими комбінаціями.

 

Келлі, попередній багатотитульний претендент сам по собі, спочатку прикривав і поглинав постріли, але незабаром почав ефективно протидіяти.

 

Більше того ж на початку другого, хоча треба віддати належне Келлі за його витончені відповіді, які завадили Джейкобсу досягти такого ж рівня успіху в першій строфі, однак, коли годинник увійшов у фінал 20 Приблизно кілька секунд раунду Джейкобс почав давати великі удари по тілу зі все більшим успіхом, настільки, що буквально на останніх секундах Келлі була змушена встати на коліно після особливо жорстокого лівого.

 

На жаль, Келлі намагався перевести подих і встигнути на ноги, щоб перевершити рахунок рефері Лі Мурта, офіційний час зупинки 2 Хвилини і 56 Секунди другого туру.

 

Після бою Томмі Джейкобс оголосив, що причиною його проведення не є чемпіонський бій з 6 раундів, а не спочатку запланований міжконтинентальний бій за титул WBF проти албанця Джулйо Вренозі., було те, що йому запропонували потенційно кинути виклик дворазовому чемпіону світу з Австралії Сему Соліману від Всесвітнього боксерського фонду. (WBF) Титул чемпіона світу в грудні.

 

У другому поєдинку вечора Дін Портер дебютував у професіоналах проти Стівена Саннерса з Ліверпуля. (2-0-0).

Що тріщини всі дії справа, від початку до кінця обидва хлопці справді впоралися з молотком і щипцями.

 

Після чотирьох блискучих раундів у напруженій боротьбі не дивно, що результат був близьким, і це було близько, Читання картки рефері Лі Мурта 39-38 на користь Стівена Саннерса з Ліверпуля.

 

Далі відбувся чотирираундовий поєдинок у напівлегкій вазі між власним Беном «Клаксіканцем» Клактона’ Кук і Кріс Вонг з Белфаста, обидва дебютували у професіоналах.

 

Перші пара раундів, як і з Портер-Саннерс, боролися настільки тісно, ​​що нелегко було назвати переможця кожного раунду, однак у 3-му рішення було трохи легше після того, як Кук завдав тріскучого удару в тіло в кінці раунду, щоб поставити ірландця на коліна.

 

Після чотирьох надзвичайно цікавих раундів дій рефері Лі Мурта зачитав результативну картку 40-37 на користь місцевого героя Бена Кука.

 

Як і попередній конкурс, це був повноцінний трилер епічних масштабів, настільки, що це, безсумнівно, був нічний бій.

 

Треба сказати, що мені дуже сподобався цей бій, і я сподіваюся, що після того, як ця пара отримає кілька боїв за поясом, буде матч-реванш, оскільки я хотів би знову побачити цих двох у дії один проти одного, було те, що добре.

 

У четвертому поєдинку вечора Роб Елден дебютував у суперсередній вазі Іпсвіча проти Лі Купера з Ліверпуля..

 

Елден почав важко і швидко, передає бій своєму більш досвідченому супротивнику і дає великі удари в тіло та голову. Спочатку Купер прикривався, але незабаром почав протидіяти власними великими ударами, однак, зробивши це, залишив прорив у своєму захисті, що чоловік з Іпсвіча швидко здобув вигоду з великим правом у голову, щоб відправити Коппера на полотно.

 

Мідний піднявся на ноги, і дії відновилися майже в тому ж дусі, з Елденом, підтримкою Коппера, перш ніж дозволити рипі великими ударами, Купер знову відповів власними великими ударами. Коли раунд наближався до другої хвилини, Елден знову знайшов щілину в обладунках Купера і цього разу отримав велике право на тіло, щоб відправити Ліверпуля на полотно вдруге і востаннє. Офіційний час зупинки - одна хвилина п'ятдесят дев'ять секунд першого раунду.

 

Головний бій вечора показує, як Навід Іран з Хоува та Бен Макгіверн з Шотландії борються за вакантну раду професійного боксу. (PBC) Срібний міжнародний титул у напівважкій вазі.

 

Боротьба – правильний термін; це була Королівська битва епічних масштабів.

 

З самого початку Іран перевів бій до Макгіверна, підтримуючи шотландця на мотузках і дозволяючи розірвати шквал лівих і правих. Макгіверн розумно прикривався і чекав нагоди, щоб протистояти, що він зробив з хорошим ефектом, як тільки з’явилася нагода.

 

Однак цього було недостатньо, щоб майже негайно не допустити, щоб Іран повернувся з подібною силовою атакою. Макгіверну знову вдалося протидіяти і спочатку взяти під контроль.

 

У міру проходження раунду Іран зробив кілька тріщих ударів, які знову змусили Макгіверна приховати. Іранн підтримував тиск великими ударами, в той час як Макгіверн спіймав більшість у своїх рукавичках, великий правий пробив шотландського охоронця, потрясаючи його до глибини душі.

 

Як Макгіверн дійшов до кінця раунду, я просто не знаю, його ноги були здоровими і справді зникли, але якось він це зробив.

 

У другому раунді Іран виходить жорстко і швидко, проте Макгіверн був готовий до штурму, знову спочатку прикриваючи, але цього разу замість того, щоб просто протистояти та прикривати, він розкрутив суперника і сам пішов у атаку.

 

У третьому раунді Макгіверн переносить бій з Іраном, що призвело до чудового технічного боксу, який виник у обох головних героїв.

 

Наступні кілька раундів пройшли в такому ж ключі. Хоча останній раунд був невпинною війною; обидва боксери кинули обережність на вітер, і тривав останні три хвилини повноцінний слігфест – який захоплюючий раунд.

 

Після восьми фантастичних раундів боксу Бен Макгіверн оголосив переможцем, забив рефері Лі Мурта., від а 79-74 точки маржа.

 

Треба сказати, поки однозначно правильний результат, результат просто не передає, наскільки близько кожен раунд, але перший, був. Ці двоє справді влаштували чудове шоу і були серйозним претендентом на нагороду «Бій ночі»..

 

Яка чудова подія для повернення професійного боксу в Клактон-он-Сі після майже вісімдесятирічної перерви, повернення явно оцінили шанувальники бойового мистецтва, які заповнили історичне місце майже за годину до початку заходу.

Undefeated Puerto Rican Bantamweight Manny Rodriguez Ready for Former World Champion Paul Butler This Saturday at 02 Арена

Bantamweight contender Emmanuel “Manny” Rodriguez and his team have landed safely and ready to face former world champion Paul “Baby Faced Assassin” Butler for the vacant IBF World Championship, в цю суботу, Травня 5, at the O2 Arena in London.

 

 

 

 

Presented by Matchroom Boxing, Родрігес (17-0, 12 КО), Пуерто-Ріко, and Butler (26-1, 14 КО), 29, Англії, will meet in a 12-round supporting bout to the all-British rematch between former World Heavyweight Champions Tony Bellew (29-2-1, 19 КО) and David Haye (28-3, 26 КО).

 

 

 

 

Rodriguez almost had his very promising boxing career derailed for a time by an unfortunate car accident in which he burned 66% of his body. After a long rehab, he returned, and went on a, до сих пір, 17-fight tear through the professional ranks.

 

 

 

The 25-year-old was the mandatory contender to face former champion Ryan Burnett, who chose to relinquish his belts. This allowed for Butler to slide into the fight for the unclaimed belt.

 

 

 

29-year-old Butler previously held the IBF belt, but before defending it, elected to drop down in weight to face then-champion Zolani Tete… and was stopped in the eighth round. He has won nine fights since.

 

 

 

“It has been a long road to this fight, but I am ready to win my first world championship,– сказав Родрігес. “Paul Butler is a good fighter, але ніщо не може зупинити мене. I have worked too hard to get here. It doesn’t matter that we’re in his backyard. I’ve done everything right getting ready for this and I look forward to bringing the belt back to my beloved country of Puerto Rico.”

 

 

 

Rodriguez’ co-promoter, Леон Маргулес з Warriors Boxing, says a star will be born Saturday night.

 

 

 

“Manny has always been a superstar in the making. I am happy he is finally getting the chance to shine in front of a large audience, worldwide. I have no doubt he will win impressively and set himself up for several big showdowns in the near future.”

 

 

 

 

BUTLER MEETS RODRIGUEZ FOR IBF WORLD TITLE ON MAY 5

 

AWE to Air Live Bellew v. Haye II, в суботу, May 5th

 

 

The Highly Anticipated Rematch between Tony Bellew and David Haye to air Live and Exclusively on AWE

 

 

САН - ДІЄГО, КАЛИФОРНИЯ. – Квітня 12, 2018 -Paul Butler gets the chance to become two-time IBF World Bantamweight champion when he tackles undefeated Emmanuel Rodriguez at The O2 in London on May 5, live on AWE-A Wealth of Entertainment.

 

 

 

Butler’s clash with Rodriguez is part of a huge night of action in Greenwich as Heavyweight rivals Tony Bellew and David Haye clash in a hotly-anticipated rematch.

 

 

 

Butler landed the IBF strap in April 2014 by taking it from Stuart Hall in Newcastle before vacating the strap to move down to Super-Flyweight in March 2015 to challenge IBF champion Zolani Tete.

 

 

 

The ‘Baby Faced Assassinreturned to 118lbs and back into title contention when he comfortably saw off Hall in a rematch in Liverpool in September, and is rated at four in the IBF, one spot behind top-rated Rodriguez.

 

 

 

The unbeaten 25 year old visitor is hotly-rated having raced to 17-0 in the paid ranks with 12 wins inside the distance, a rise all the more impressive following an amateur background that was stunted by a car accident.

 

 

 

Rodriguez’s trip to London is his first outside the Americas since turning pro and his first over the championship distance, and Butler intends to make the trip a miserable one for the Puerto Rican and reclaim his title.

 

 

 

I’m very excited for this,” said Butler. “It’s the reason we came over to Eddie in the first place, I knew he would deliver the big fights for me. We’re just four weeks away. It’s a big test but I’m confident.

 

 

 

It’s an honor to contest the IBF title again. I want to win it back then hopefully defend which I didn’t have the chance to do last time.

 

 

 

It sounded a good idea at the time to vacate but looking back now I should have kept hold of the belt. I should have worked on my strength and conditioning, filled out and defended my title. I’ve definitely got some unfinished business with thisit would be brilliant to go out there and win it again.

 

 

 

It’s a tougher test the last time I won the title, but I’m up for the challenge. I’ve improved myself. He’s touted to be this next big superstar, but how many of them come over here and get turned on their heads?

 

 

 

I never used to look at my opponents, but since I’ve linked up with Joe he’s always sending me little clips. He looks a good kid, he likes to work at midrange but in truth I don’t want to say too much about what he does and doesn’t do well.

 

 

 

I don’t care how big and tough he iswe both have two arms, two legs, he’s from Puerto Rico and I’m from Ellesmere Port so let’s get it on. I can see this being a very good fight, we both like to go body to head, head to body but I’ll come out being the two-time IBF World Bantamweight champion.

 

 

 

Super-Middleweights John Ryder and Jamie Cox clash in a crucial clash in the 168lbs division and Martin J. Ward defends his European Super-Featherweight title against James Tennyson.

 

 

 

Expected start time is 3 PM ET / 12 PM PT.

 

The fight card will also be streamed live via KlowdTV on the AWE channel.
