Pryce is Right again for undefeated Brooklyn heavyweight Pryce Taylor

Ostavite komentar
NEW YORK CITY (Lipanj 11, 2025) – Immediately after last Friday night’s impressive fourth-round stoppage of Ed “Tex” Fountain, Brooklyn’s undefeated Pryce Taylor (8-0, 5 Kos) was called America’s best heavyweight prospect by his promoter, Dmitriy Salita (Salita Promocije).

The 28-year-old Taylor and his manager, New York City-based Attorney Keith Sullivan, agree with Salita.

“They’re (Salita and Sullivan) both right,” Taylor said, “because they’ve seen me fight. Fighting brings the dog out in me. On (Fontana) was a test, real resilient, but like a punching bag that’s ready to fall off the chain. I had to keep hitting him and no way was he thinking about playing it safe. The referee saved his life; he was thinking about not falling down.”

The powerful Taylor entered the ring paying tribute to the late, great George Foreman by wearing a “Big George” T-shirt. Prior to the fight, Taylor noted that he had great success in the pro ranks fighting southpaws like Fountain. Taylor methodically ripped his opponent’s head and body with damaging punches, hurting Fountain in the third round with a straight right-left hook combination, followed by a barrage of shots on the sturdy Fountain who managed to survive the round.

Fontana (14-9, 7 Kos), who was the best fighter the 6’ 4”, 280-pound Taylor had fought in the pro ranks, was rocked from another series of violent combinations, when referee Charlie Fitch had seen enough and waved off the fight 36-seconds into the fourth frame.The fight was a scheduled 6-rounder on the “International Boxing Hall of Fame Night,” presented by Taylor’s promoter Salita Promotions, na Turning Stone Resort Casino u Veroni, Njujork.

“I was excited to be fighting on a show like that,” Taylor added. “He hit me first in the first round, something I always let my opponents do to test their power, gauge patterns, and figure him out. It’s like in baseball when a batter lets a pitch go by without swinging to see what he has on the mound. Because he’s a southpaw, his right is his jab, and he really wanted to use his left power hook. He had a good poker face, but he couldn’t hide it when I hurt him. He tried not showing he was fazed, keeping himself upright, but he felt my power. I like being accurate, especially throwing power punches. I punished him at the end, throwing a body shot, an uppercut, and then two right hooks.”

“I thought George Foreman would have been proud of me and maybe thought he was seeing himself fight when he saw me punch. I put on a show. I’m a combination of Foreman and Muhammad Ali; power punching like Foreman, elusive like Ali with good footwork and light on my toes.

“I’m not sure if this was the best fight of my career, but he was my best opponent and the toughest guy I’ve fought. He came into the ring in good shape and tried to fight. His downfall was Pryce Being Right opet. I love throwing my straight right and that keeps opening up my left hook to the body.”

Taylor had a 60-11 amaterski rekord, including a pair of New York Golden Gloves titles, and he was the heavyweight runner-up four times in the prestigious USA Boxing National Championship tournaments. “Pryce’s TKO win was exactly what I expected – dominant, calculated, and explosive,” Sullivan remarked. “He’s not just another prospect; with continued work, he can be the next great American heavyweight. With every fight, he’s proving that he has the tools, the discipline, and the mindset to be a force within this division. We’re building something special, and the world’s about to see it.”
Team Taylor (L-R): Manager Keith Sullivan, undefeated Brooklyn heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor, promoter Dmitriy Salita, and head trainer Benny Roman Salita.

Taylor will be fighting next in his first scheduled 8-round bout on July 26 in Detroit on a Salita Promotions card headlined by undisputed World Heavyweight Champion Claressa Shields (16-0, 3 Kos) versus Lani Daniels (11-2-2, 1 KO) at Little Caesars Arena. Sullivan, a former Deputy Commissioner for the NYS Athletic Commission, also manages 3-time, 2-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (18-5) and Bronx NYPD Officer Nisa Rodriguez (3-1, 1 KO), as well as co-managing world-rated (IBF #3 & WBA #10) welterweight contender Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-1, 11 Kos), from Limerick, Irska. Sullivan co-manages Donovan with former world middleweight champion Andy Lee, who is also Donovan’s head trainer.

Klasa 2019



MARK BRELAND

Mark Breland: “I enjoy boxing, it’s a lot of fun. I’m glad to be here because I’ve seen a lot of fighters I grew up with in the amateurs. I enjoy boxing because it kept me off the streets. I wasn’t a street guy., My father would have beaten me up if I had gotten into trouble in the streets. Boxing kept me off the streets, kept me in the gym. I guess I was good at it. I had a fight with a bully when I was 14 and I beat him up. I went to the gym the same day and my coach asked me what happened. My knuckles were shredded with blood. I told him I had a fight in the street. He said you can’t fight in the street. Then I realized boxing and street fighting are two different things.

Shelly Finkel (his manager), when he came into my life, changed a lot of things. Things changed a lot. I focused more on boxing, focused on the Olympic Games, and won championships. Every tournament I went into, I pobijedio, but it was a lot of fun. I wanted to inspire youths. I hope I can inspire some amateurs coming up. To keep going, stay off the streets, and do something that can change your life in a good way., Eddie Futch for life!”



JOE FRAZIER

Marvis Frazier(Joe’s son, Zamislio): “It is so good today to speak about my father, what he meant to me, and Joe Frazier always said to me, ‘There’s no right way to do wrong, no wrong way to do right.’ On je rekao, if you don’t do right, you’re going to smell this, putting his left fist right to my nose. When it was time for me to do bad, it wasn’t me, wasn’t Marvis Frazier. Tako, danas, I’m still smelling it even if he’s not here.

“I just love to talk boxing. As an amateur I was 46-1 and then when I turned pro, I beat the guy who had knocked me out. I love my father. He was a good guy and a champion. I know everybody know Muhammad Ali and I know everybody know ‘Smokin’ Joe Frazier.”



AL MITCHELL

Al Mitchell: “I got rid of anybody over 16 who didn’t want to go to school. I’ve been doing this the longest time and I want to thank the coaches. I had three or four who didn’t care about boxing, but they wanted their kids to get an education. Izzy Acosta is one. I got a perfect record at Marquette High, they’ve all graduated. I have four kids with master’s degrees, I’ve got 14 who have degrees, and four guys who are policemen and no way they should be policemen. Blagoslovljen sam.

“Old coaches would tell one you’re only as good as your memories. It’s crazy with kids 14, 14, 15. I had a kid named Vernon Forrest, a four-time world champion., It’s not just about boxing. It’s getting an education and after ten years they have a good life. I want to thank you all for putting me in the Hall of Fame.”




Michael Rodgers (Ray’s son): “Prvo, I want to apologize for my father for not being here. He hurt his back over the weekend working a boxing match, believe it or not, and he apologizes for not being here.

“I want to thank USA Boxing and the Alumni Association for recognizing my father for this award. And when he heard about this, he said he didn’t do any of these things during the 72 years he’s been in the sport for awards. He just did what he did for the love this sport and he did what needed to be done.”

USA BOXING ALUMNI ASSOCIATION



Mike McAtee, Executive Director, USA Boks (Zamislio): “On behalf of the Board of Directors, President Tyson Lee, I can only say thank you, hvala, and thank you. Večeras, is a culmination of work between our members, our alumni association, but I have to recognize a couple of people. This great event wouldn’t be done without Chris Cugliari, Al Valenti and Nicole Anderson, our Alumni Association Coordinator.

“I have the honor of talking about boxing and obviously we have passion. When Marvis Frazier said this was a brotherhood, a sisterhood, and none of us, quite frankly, who’ve stepped in the ring – I include myself in that – we’re not right. Takes a special person to climb in the ropes. You all can give yourselves a hand for not being right.

“USA Boxing is proud of our history, but more proud of our future, and I can tell you the young men and women battling at the elite levels, we started at 104 and that will be taken down to 13 by Sunday evening. Ali, što je još važnije, we’re going to be breeding the next generation of champions, because this is closing the chapter of 2020, but starting the chapter of 2024, and ultimately, when the Olympic Games comeback here in 2028. This is a special time.”



Chris tofflemire, Executive Director, SAD Boks Alumni Association: “Three years ago a group of us sat around a table in Kansas City at the National Championships and this idea was hatched: John Brown, u Valenti, John Scully, Christy Halbert, Mike McAtee and a few others. Tako, it’s something I’m very proud of and an organization I’m proud to lead with the support of all of you.

“A quick update of the Alumni Association, we’re at about 1200 members right now and this is our third year. We had events across the country the past year, honoring Micky Ward and Vinny Pazianza in the New England area. We gathered in Chicago. We honored Izzy Acosta at the Junior Olympics in Wisconsin, as well as Buster Douglas and coach Mike Stafford at the Ohio Legends celebration, and here we are today honoring our third Hall of Fame class. We’ve come a long way. Our theme in 2020 is two missions: Prvo, we want to take this down to the grassroots level, second is supporting our athletes and their families as they travel to the 2020 Olympic Games.”



u Valenti, Special Projects Consultant for USA Boxing: “USA Boxing is the one fundamental difference that makes a difference in a young person’s life. The path to self-confidence, the path to self-respect, disciplina, pobjeda, and how to accept defeat all comes through amateur boxing.

“Večeras, the story will be told. Večeras, we will take you on a path, of amateur boxing in the United States that rivals no other nation. Gold medalists, silver medalists, treneri, dužnosnici, doctors…they’re all here. It’s like Woodstock for boxing; everybody’s here!”



Al Bernstein, Master of Ceremonies: “I’m delighted to be back here for my third year at USA Boxing’s Alumni Association Hall of Fame. I hosted a lot of events, MC’d a lot of events, and this is the final event because it’s in the end of December. It’s definitely my favorite.”

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krug. (Prosinac 11, 2019) -Senator John McCain will be posthumously presented a Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport this Friday night at a special ceremony during the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame reception at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

Simply The Best! Mark Breland

Razred 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krug. (Prosinac 3, 2019) – Arguably the greatest American amateur boxer of all-time, Mark Breland will be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame on Friday night, Prosinac 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing and 2019 Nacionalnih prvenstava, Prosinca. 7-15, at the Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Prosinca. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Kasino. Hall of Fame broadcasterAl Bernstein from Showtime Sports will serve as the event’s emcee for the third year in a row.

The USA Boxing Alumni Association’s third HOF class also includes two other Olympic gold-medalists, “Big” George Foremana “Smokin’” Joe Frazier, as well as legendary coachesAl Mitchell aRay Rodgers. 

Sen. John McCain will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.

“I’m very happy to be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame,” Breland said. “It really means a lot, especially going in this year with Foreman and Frazier. I guess it proves I’ve done a lot in boxing. I’m happy to be going in. I had a lot of fun in USA Boxing. To be going into the same Hall of Fame withEvander (Holyfield) (Muhammed) Su, Foreman, Frazier…champs like that, it’s something for me to be with them.”

Breland, ironično, first got into boxing at the age of eight, due to him being brought to his first boxing match, Frazier-Ali I, at Madison Square Garden. “We were up in the top seats,” the Brooklyn-born and raised Breland remembered like it was yesterday. “The crowd, the atmosphere…all I could think of was, wow!  I didn’t realize until I got older that there were so many stars there watching Ali and Frazier, because they were all at ringside.

“The next day I went to a gym. I was really skinny, small, but I came back the next day. I enjoyed working out and fell in love with boxing. I wanted to box in big tournaments. This is what I wanted to do, but I had hid boxing from my parents. They knew I had I played football, but that was okay with them, because unlike in boxing, we had a helmet. I won at the Junior Olympics and it was in the papers. I saw it and thought my mother was going to kill me. My mother asked me why I hadn’t told her, so I invited her to watch me fight in the Golden Gloves. She was in one of the front rows, but afterwards when I asked her what she thought when I knocked out my opponent, she said she didn’t see it because she had closed her eyes.”

Breland went on to become a five-time New York Golden Gloves champion with a 21-0 rekord, uključujući 19 miševa, 14 coming in the opening round. In 1982, Breland captured a gold medal at the prestigious World Championships in Munich, Njemačka, after which he was named the No. 1 welterweight in the world by AIBA. He was also selected as Boxer of the Year (1982) by USAABF.

Na 1984 Olimpijske igre, held in Los Angeles, Breland fought his way to a gold medal,

along with eight of his American teammates: Paul Gonzalez, Steve McCrory, Meldrick Taylor, Pernell Whitaker, Jerry Page,Frank Tate, Henry Tillman aTyrell Biggs.

Breland, who completed his amateur career with an amazing 110-1 (73 Kos) rekord, appeared to be cooler than the other side of the pillow on a hot, steamy night. No real celebrations after he won gold, to the contrary, Mark was emotionless, the same as he still is today as a trainer of champions.

“I’ve always been really laid back,” he explained. “I just remember raising my hands. At an Olympic press conference, I was asked if I was happy, and I just said I was glad it was over. I guess I didn’t seem excited. I was happy but calm. It’s the same way now (as a trainer); it’s just me. I’m happy to win and happy to be doing what I do.”

“Mark’s dominance over his competition throughout his USA Boxing career cements him as a legend,” commentedChris Cugliari, SAD Boks Alumni udruga izvršni direktor. “His ring intelligence, commitment to his craft, and ability to fight at any pace against any style makes him a tremendous example for today’s group of amateur champions. It has been a long time coming, but the Alumni Association looks forward to reflecting on his accomplishments and honoring Mark in Louisiana.”

Confirmed special guests include 1988 Zlatne olimpijske medaljeAndrew Maynard, three-time National AAU Coach of the Year (1972-76-77) Joe Clough, 1984 Olympic gold medalist Frank Tatei njegov bratToma, 1972 OlimpskiTim Dement, 2002 National Golden Gloves prvakaJaidon Codringtion, 1980 Olympic QualifierJackie Beard, 1981 Junior OlympicsGlen Modicue, four-time National championEric Kelly, 1988 Eastern Olympic Qualifier championJohn Scully, Obie Beard, Mark Lanton aStephensbrothers –Donald, Antonije aŠvaba.

Breland made his much-anticipated pro debut November 15, 1984, at the famed Madison Square Garden, defeating Dwight Williams by way of a six-round unanimous decision. During his illustrious pro career (1984-1997), Breland compiled a sterling 35-3-1 (35 Kos) record and he was a two-time World welterweight champion.

The 56-year-old Breland, who once trained the late, velika 1992 US OlympianVernon Forrest, currently trains another great USA Boxing alumni and 2008 Olimpijski brončani, Deontay Wilder, the reigning World Boxing Council heavyweight champion.

“Once I started boxing in the amateurs,” Breland concluded, “I started progressing. I learned a lot from other amateurs like different styles. Boxers from New York/New Jersey had different styles than boxers from Georgia/Florida, and fighting Cubans was completely different. I was beating up a Cuban fighter, but every time I hit him, somehow, they took away a point from me. I knew right away that I had to knock him out to win, and they did end up stopping the fight.”

Closing cuts & controlling blood flow leads 83-year-old Ray Rodgers into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame

Ostavite komentar
Razred 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krug. (Studeni 25, 2019) – Arkansas boxing icon Ray Rodgershas successfully dealt with more cuts than most surgeons, all the way into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame, in which he’ll be inducted on Friday night, Prosinac 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing and 2019 Nacionalnih prvenstava, Prosinca. 7-15, at the Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Prosinca. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Kasino. Hall of Fame broadcaster Al Bernstein from Showtime Sports will serve as the event’s emcee for the third year in a row.

The USA Boxing Alumni Association’s third HOF class also includes three Olympic gold-medalists, “Velika” George Foreman, “Smokin'” Joe Frazier a Mark Breland, as well as legendary coach Al Mitchell.

Sen. John McCain will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.

There isn’t much in boxing, if anything, that Rodgers hasn’t done: bokser, službeno, trener, administrator and, naravno, rez čovjek. “I’m a boxing guy,” Rodgers said in his Southern twang. “I’ve been around the block, several times. But I don’t say I’m a cut man, I’m a laceration management specialist.”

Rodgers first got into boxing when he was in the fifth grade, back in Oklahoma, where he was born. A memo was sent around that there would be a tryout for boxing held the next day at the local high school gym. His parents gave their permission to let him tryout, the first chapter of his incredible boxing career.

“From the first moment,” the charming boxing character remembered, “Bio sam zakačen. I still have the letter I received in boxing. That was in 1947 and I’m still in boxing. I’m very proud of that.”

Rodgers has worked 39 world championship fights in professional boxing, as a cut man (he only trains amateur boxers) for the likes of world champions Jermaine Taylor, Wayne McCollough a Tommy Morrison.

“It’s been beyond belief for a regular old boxing guy like me,” Rodgers said about his life in boxing. “I’ve traveled all over the world, many times, as a cut man.”

He was the first national official of both the Golden Gloves and Silver Gloves. Više, he’s already been inducted in three Hall of Fames: Silver Gloves, Golden Gloves and Arkansas Sports HOF.

“Ray’s sacrifice to countless youth as a coach, mentor, rez čovjek, and leader throughout the amateur boxing community is inspirational,” komentirao Chris tofflemire, SAD Boks Alumni udruga izvršni direktor. “His years of service and the knowledge he has passed on to other generations is what makes him a Hall of Famer, and we look forward to honoring him in December.”

Rodgers hasn’t slowed down, despite recently celebrating his 83rd rođendan. He still owns and operates Ray Rodgers Boxing Club in West Little Rock, Arkanzas, in addition to serving as director of the Arkansas Golden Gloves and Mid-South Tournament, which includes Louisiana, Misisipi, Western Tennessee and Arkansas. And he’s also the vice-president of the National Golden Gloves and chairman of the National Silver Gloves.

“At my age, I’m happy to have any birthday,” Rodgers joked. “I’m hoping to live another 10-12 godina, Lord willing. It’s all in the Lord’s hands; controlling the flow of blood, iako, is in my hands.”

Razred 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krug. (Studeni 21, 2019) – One of boxing’s all-time greatest, kasno, velika“Smokin’” Joe Frazier, will be inducted posthumously into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame, Petak navečer, Prosinac 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony, at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 Olympic Trials and 2019 National Championships Dec. 7-15, at Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Prosinca. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Hall of Fame broadcasterAl Bernstein from Showtime Sports will serve as the event’s emcee for the third year in a row.

The USA Boxing Alumni Association’s third HOF class also includes two other Olympic gold-medalists, “Big” George ForemanaMark Breland, in addition to a pair of decorated coaches, Al Mitchell aRay Rodgers. 

Sen. John McCain will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.

“On behalf of our family,” Joe’s sonMarvis Frazier rekla, “we’d like to thank the USA Boxing Alumni Association for remembering Joe Frazier. Honoring him like this will introduce to him to new generations of boxing fans.

“My father learned discipline he needed to go on and win Olympic gold and do what he need to be world champion. He took that to the pros and beatMuhammad Ali in the best fight in the world. They were two great champions who worked together to show people what boxing is really all about.”

Born in South Carolina, Frazier was well known as an elite Philadelphia boxing product, prikupljanja 38-2 amateur record. He was a three-time National Golden Gloves champion whose only two losses were both toBuster Mathis, who was the only opponent to defeat Frazier, including a loss by decision – questionable according to Frazier – in the Olympic Trials.

When U.S. Olympic Team heavyweight qualifierBuster Mathis was unable to compete at the 1964 Olympic Games due to injury, Frazier took full advantage of this opportunity as a replacement.

Frazier went on to become one of only four American boxers to medal in Tokyo, Joe the lone gold medalist, despite breaking a thumb in the semifinals. U krugu otvaranja, Frazier knocked outGeorge Olynello (Uganda), followed by a third-round stoppage ofAthol McQueen (Australija) in the quarterfinals. AgainstVadim Yemelyanov (Rusija) u polufinalu krugu, Frazier won by way of a second round KO, even though he broke his left thumb.

Unwilling to tell anybody that he had broken his thumb, fearing that he wouldn’t be allowed to fight, Frazier showed the tremendous grit he became famous for by winning a close decision, 3-2, naspramHans Huber (United Team of Germany) in the championship final to capture a gold medal.

“Winning an Olympic gold medal was the highlight of his amateur career,” Marvis noted. “It meant that he was the best in the world, and it also made things easier for his next step into the pros. I think he felt it helped made him a real man, the best in the world, and not many people can say that. Winning Olympic gold with a broken thumb showed our father what he could do and proved that he was the man. He wasn’t afraid to get the job done. No excuses, get the jog done, was what my father said all the time. And you better had gotten the job done.”

Frazier (32-4-1, 27 Kos) went on to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, defeating the likes ofMuhammad Ali, Jimmy Ellis (dvaput), Bob Foster, Oscar Bonavena(dvaput), Jerry Quarry, Mathis, Doug Jones, Eddie Machen aGeorge Chuvalo during his 16-year professional career.

Listed at only 5-11 ½, Frazier was best known for his bobby, weaving, relentless pressure and liver-damaging left hook. He passed away November 7, 2011 due to complications from liver cancer at the age of 67.

“Joe’s legacy will live on forever throughout USA Boxing,” addedChris tofflemire, SAD Boks Alumni udruga izvršni direktor. “His toughness and heart were second to none, and today’s USA Boxing champions can look to Joe for the definition of a champion in and out of the ring. We look forward to honoring his legacy as a Hall of Famer on December 13th."

Domaćin okruglog stola bio je nagrađivani novinar SHOWTIME Sports Jim Gray iz hotela Westin Bonaventure & Apartmani, Los Angeles. Evo što su legende teške kategorije morale reći u petak:

 

EVANDER HOLYFIELD

 

 

“Osjećam da će Deontay Wilder pobijediti jer će na kraju doskočiti toj desnoj ruci. Vrlo je strpljiv. On je mislilac, ali može i riskirati. Kad ljudi riskiraju, oni pobjeđuju.

 

 

 

“Deontay možda neće imati toliko iskustva kao mi danas, ali on ima moć. To ljudi žele vidjeti i mislim da će biti sretni kad to vide.

 

 

 

“Bilo je trenutka u kojem je svaki veliki teškaš bio iz Sjedinjenih Država. Imali smo jako dobar amaterski program. Bio sam posljednji pravi prvak u teškoj kategoriji iz SAD-a. prije Wildera i dok nisam izgubio odluku protiv Lennoxa.

 

 

 

“Biti svjetski prvak u teškoj kategoriji, i reći da ste najbolji, moraš se boriti protiv bilo kojeg muškarca.”

 

Lennox Lewis

 

 

 

“Mislim da će to biti sjajna borba. Deontay Wilder ima sjajnu desnu ruku i kad padne, ne može se previše ljudi tome suprotstaviti. Također mislim da ne možete povrijediti ono što ne možete pogoditi. Tysona Furyja nije lako pogoditi. Ima velike sposobnosti i kretanje. Idem s Deontayem rano ili Fury kasno.

 

 

 

“Svi znamo kakav je osjećaj izgubiti prvenstvo u teškoj kategoriji. Znamo koliko je teško to vratiti. Fury ga je izgubio, a sada to želi natrag. Sad vidim da se žrtvuje i govori sebi da to nije smio izgubiti, a sada ga mora povratiti.

 

 

 

“Mislim da pogled u Velikoj Britaniji. je da je Tyson Fury čovjek koji se pojačao. Rukavica je bačena tamo i zauzeo se za Britaniju. Deontay je došao u Englesku da izazove Anthonyja Joshuu, ali Tyson Fury je bio taj koji se odazvao pozivu.

 

 

 

“Rekao bih da postoji nekoliko meka u boksu koja su mjesta na kojima se svi žele boriti. Las Vegas, New York i naravno, Los Angeles. Moja borba protiv Vitalija Klička u STAPLES centru bila je sjajna borba. Moj plan te večeri nije bio boksati da bih otišao na daljinu, Boksao sam da pređem kratku udaljenost i to je i učinio.”

 

RIDDICK POKLON

 

 

 

“Sutra navečer idem s Deontayem Wilderom. Priredit će sjajnu predstavu za sve i dobiti još jedan nokaut.

 

 

 

“Tyson Fury je vješt i visok, ali za mene, ne radi dovoljno na napadu. Kreće se, ali ne miče dovoljno ruke.”

 

GERRY COONEY

 

 

 

“Mislim da je to sjajna borba sutra navečer. Znamo da se Fury vraća motiviran. Ako Wilder nađe dom za to pravo, izvest će Furyja. Mislim da će se povezati kad-tad tijekom borbe.

 

 

 

“Mislim da je Tyson Fury sjajan čovjek za koliko se vratio u životu i za suprotstavljanje Deontayu Wilderu. Fury ga je prozvao, pa možda zna nešto što mi ne znamo.

 

 

 

“Tako mi je drago što sam ovdje. Pogledajte sve ove sjajne teškaše i sjajne momke. Posebna je i svi su ovdje da gledaju ovu borbu sutra navečer.”

 

EARNIE BRAVICI

 

 

 

“Ja i Deontay smo oboje iz Alabame. Uskoro ću biti primljen u Sportsku dvoranu slavnih u Alabami, a jednog će dana biti i Deontay. Deontay je izvrstan udarač i vučem za njim sutra navečer.

 

 

 

“Borio sam se u velikoj eri. Ako se borite s dečkima na istoj razini, dobit ćete dobre borbe. Ovi bi momci danas mogli ući tamo u naše dane i prirediti dobru predstavu.”

 

BUSTER DOUGLAS

 

 

 

“Mislim da će ovo biti dobra natjecateljska borba. Kad bih morao odabrati, Uzeo bih Deontaya Wildera nokautom u osmoj rundi.

 

 

 

“Osjećam da je Tyson Fury već pobijedio boreći se i ulazeći u sjajnu formu i nalazeći se u ovoj poziciji. Siguran sam da su mnogi ljudi mislili da ga nikad više neće vidjeti ovdje. To je pobjeda sama po sebi.

 

 

 

“Moja pobjeda nad Mikeom Tysonom na sjajan je način promijenila moj život. Sad sam bio prvak svijeta u teškoj kategoriji. San mi se ostvario. Jedino što je moglo to nadmašiti bilo je vidjeti moje dvoje najmlađe djece.”

 

MICHAEL SPINKS

 

 

“Neka kum pobijediti. Ne znam tko je u najboljoj formi, ali mislim da me Fury zbog izlaska iz ringa naginje prema Deontayu Wilderu. Ako je Fury osobno toliko velik koliko kažu da jest, on ima veliku priliku.

 

 

“Ako ste underdog, jednostavno morate nastaviti s onim što znate i na čemu ste radili. Ne možete obratiti pažnju na sumnjičave. Usredotočite se na ono za što ste se pripremili i dajte sve od sebe. Uvijek sam se vidio kako pobjeđujem. Najveći je osjećaj izaći iz ringa pobjednički.”
