Waandishi wa habari DONDOO
Lucian Bute: ”I am really, really confident going into this fight. I respect Alvarez; he is the WBC No. 1 ranked contender in the light heavyweight division. He is undefeated but my best moments as a professional boxer came here in Quebec City and I am sure it will be another one of those moments Ijumaa usiku. And it will be a spectacular fight for the fans!”
Eleider Alvarez: ”I have to win for my future and for my family. I will give everything Ijumaa usiku. My time has come and I will make the best of it.”
Yvon Michel, promoter of show and both fighters: ”It is going to be an exciting fight and card. Eleider Alvarez said that he is ready to die in the ring and he means it. Lucian also is ready to do whatever it takes to win Ijumaa. We have two fighters, two true competitors, who will give everything and leave everything in the ring Ijumaa.”
Howard Ruzuku, Bute’s trainer: ”Lucian had the best camp of his career. He had more energy in this camp than in the ones for James DeGale and Badou Jack. He had good sparring also and he will be ready Ijumaa usiku.”
Marc Ramsay, Alvarez trainer: ”This is the third time in his career that Alvarez has been called out after a sparring session. First it was Andrew Gardiner…and he was stunned by Eleider in the ninth round of the fight. He was never the same after that, got knocked out by an unknown fighter, and retired. Than it was Nicholson Poulard. He was KO’ed in the third round and he retired after that. Lucian asked Eleider for a fight after seeing a sparring between Alvarez and a fighter from the Grant Brothers Gym. He intends to deliver the goods Ijumaa. They asked for Alvarez, they will have Alvarez.”

”Najua Williams anapiga sana na kwamba ana jina sasa huko Merika, lakini mimi huweka mawazo yale ya Kronk Gym Emmanuel Steward alinifundisha: Tunakwenda kwa KO. Pia ni siku ya kuzaliwa ya binti yangu na ninataka kumpata ko, Nimehamasishwa. Hiyo itakuwa ya kufurahisha…Usifanye blink!”

”Na taarifa ya siku 10 tu, Nina furaha sana kukabiliana na mpiganaji wa caliber nzuri. Berridge ni mtu mgumu ambaye alikabiliwa na majina mazuri kama Thomas Oosthuizen na Blake Caparello, Lakini niliandaa ngumu sana kwa Chad Dawson. Niko tayari.”

Alvarez inazingatiwa sana na safu zote za kujitegemea (Gonga, Sanduku) Na Berridge alikuwa tayari kwenye mazoezi kabla ya kujiondoa kwa Chad Dawson, Kwa sababu alitakiwa kupigana kwenye HBO PPV mwishoni mwa wiki iliyopita kabla ya bout kufutwa kwa sababu za kiutawala.

This event is presented as part of the prestigious “Premier Boxing Mabingwa” (PBC) mfululizo, to be broadcast live in the United States, and on Canal Indigo in Canada.
Stevenson (27-1, 22 Kos), who established himself as one of the most powerful pound-for-pound fighters in the world, atawalinda Boxing Baraza la Dunia wake (WBC) and lineal light heavyweight (175 chupa mgawanyiko) title for the seventh time, against the dangerous, WBC hapana. 9 lilipimwa Thomas “Juu Mbwa” Williams (20-1, 14 Kos).
“I am very happy to get back in the ring for my next fight, which will be held July 29 in the superb Centre Videotron of Quebec, against Thomas Williams Jr.,” Stevenson alisema. I will demonstrate that, like fine wine, I am even better with age. Even though I haven’t boxed for 10 miezi, I’ve never left the gym and I’m willing to defend my crown.”
Williams, of Fort Washington, Maryland, katika 28, ni 10 years younger than Stevenson and also left-handed. He had a successful amateur career and is reputed to be a major danger in the ring as evidenced by his 10 victories won by knockout in less than two rounds, including his last two outings against renowned Edwin Rodriguez (28-1, 19 Kos) na Umberto Savigne (12-2, 9 Kos).
In both of those two fights, Williams was an underdog, but his determination and lethal punch made the difference. “There were many who had lost trust in me two years ago after my loss to Gabriel Campillo (24-6-1, 11 Kos),” Williams explained. “I don’t make excuses but there were circumstances that led to this result. I’m coming off the best performance of my career and I’m ready to make a change Julai 29 in terms of the holding title belt. Stevenson has never faced a puncher like me in the past.”
“We are proud to start our association with Gestev and Centre Videotron with this gala event,” Mazoezi rais Yvon Michel aliongeza. “Adonis Stevenson became the WBC light heavyweight champion in June 2012 and since then 15 ya 16 other WBC titles have changed hands. Tu Shinsuke Yamanaka, of Japan, is still champion. Other fights on the Julai 29th card will include a group of ambitious, talented boxers, promising a show with intense fighters making statements.”
Katika ushirikiano kipengele, current WBC Silver light heavyweight champion and WBC No. 1 mgombea, Eleider Alvarez (19-0, 10 Kos), will attempt to maintain his position as the WBC mandatory challenger against Maximiliano Gomez (22-5, 9 Kos), of Argentine.
