Met uitsonderlike krag en sublieme tegniese vaardighede, Ortiz (32-2, 27 Uitklophoue) is al jare 'n wedstryd bo-op swaargewigranglys, met sy enigste nederlae in onvergeetlike kompetisies teen die voormalige jarelange swaargewigkampioen Deontay Wilder. Gebore in Camaguey, Kuba en opgelei deur jarelange afrigter Herman Caicedo in Miami, Ortiz het drie gevegte tussen Wilder-kompetisies gewen, Travis Kauffman te verslaan, Christian Hammer en Razvan Cojanu. Voor daardie hardloop, Ortiz het oorwinnings oor mense soos Bryant Jennings behaal, Tony Thompson en Malik Scott om sy swaargewig-cv op te bou. Mees onlangs, Ortiz het Alexander Flores in die eerste ronde van hul November uitgeblaas 2020 einde.

“Ek kan nie wag om my aanhangers in Suid-Florida 'n wonderlike vertoning op Nuwejaarsdag te gee en nog 'n kans op die swaargewigtitel te verdien nie,” Said Ortiz. “Charles Martin is 'n goeie vegter, maar hy staan in my pad. Die enigste ding in my gedagtes is om in die ring te kom en 'n groot stelling in hierdie stryd te maak om weer te wys hoekom ek deur die swaargewigafdeling gevrees word.”

Die 35-jarige Martin (28-2-1, 25 Uitklophoue) het in Januarie swaargewigkampioen geword 2016 toe hy met TKO gewen het teen destyds onoorwonne Vyacheslav Glazkov. Nadat hy sy titel aan Anthony Joshua verloor het, Martin het vyf van sy laaste ses gevegte gewen, met al sy oorwinnings wat binne die verte kom. Oorspronklik van St. Louis, woon nou in Las Vegas en oefen tans in Suid-Kalifornië saam met Manny Robles, Martin het teruggekeer na 'n nederlaag met 'n noue beslissing na Adam Kownacki in 2018 om drie agtereenvolgende oorwinnings te behaal, insluitend die mees onlangse uitklophou van Gerald Washington in Februarie 2020.

“Niemand wil teen my veg nie en niemand wil met Ortiz veg nie, so ons sal mekaar baklei,” sê Martin. “Ek gaan Januarie vir die wêreld wys 1 hoekom ek 'n titelskoot verdien. Ek het my ledegeld betaal en ek wil my gordel terughê. Om Ortiz te klop, gaan my 'n stap nader aan daardie doelwit bring. Om twee keer swaargewigkampioen te word, Ek moet eers verby Ortiz kom, so dit is presies wat ek gaan doen.”

'n Amateur-uitblinker uit sy geboorteland Kuba, Sánchez (19-0, 13 Uitklophoue) oefen nou in San Diego saam met die topafrigter Eddy Reynoso. Die 29-jarige het besig gebly met sy styging op die swaargewigranglys, drie oorwinnings behaal in 2020 aangesien hy 'n eenparige besluit oor Joey Dawejko verdien en Brian Howard en Julian Fernandez gestop het. Sanchez het mees onlangs 'n loopbaanbeste oorwinning in Oktober behaal, voorheen onoorwonne Efe Ajagba laat val op pad na 'n eenparige besluitoorwinning.

“Ek is bly om so gou terug te wees nadat ek Agjaba geklop het, maar die werk begin eers,” Said Sanchez. “Daar is baie meer om te doen. Ek glo ek sal die eerste swaargewigkampioen in Kubaanse geskiedenis wees. Negron is 'n sterk, gevaarlike teenstander. Ek sal my beste moet wees, maar ek is vol vertroue dat ek as oorwinnaars sal uitkom. Ek glo in my span, en my span glo in my. Ons sal die nuwe jaar begin 20-0, bly besig en maak 'n sterk argument vir 'n wêreldtitel teen jaareinde.”

Die 2008 Puerto Ricaanse Olimpiese Negron (25-3, 20 Uitklophoue) ry 'n wenreeks van vyf gevegte in Januarie 1, insluitend vier oorwinnings deur onderbreking. Die 34-jarige het teruggekeer van nederlae teen Dominic Breazeale en Brian Howard om sy wenreeks saam te stel, wat 'n Maart insluit 2020 uitklophou oor voorheen onoorwonne Robert Alfonso. Negron het sedertdien professioneel geveg 2009 en woon nou in Miami waar hy saam met Luis Ortiz oefen.

“Dit is 'n wonderlike geleentheid vir my om 'n sterk opkomende vegter te wen en vir almal te wys waartoe ek in staat is,” het Negron gesê. “Ek oefen hard en ek het goeie sparring gehad om gereed te wees vir enigiets wat Sanchez gaan bring. My ervaring en voorbereiding gaan die verskil wees. Ek is uiters gemotiveerd om die ondersteuners 'n groot stryd te gee en myself in posisie te plaas om 'n wêreldtitelgeleentheid te kry.”

Gebore in Suid-Carolina en veg nou uit Los Angeles, Rys (14-6-1, 10 Uitklophoue) sal probeer om 'n loopbaan-beste vertoning in die herontmoeting teen Coffie te herhaal, nadat hy die voorheen onoorwonne vegter in die vyfde ronde in Julie gestuit het. Rice het ses van sewe gevegte van gewen 2018 deur 2019 voor 'n paar verliese in 2020 teen die destydse onoorwonne Efe Ajagba en Demsey McKean. In 'n professionele loopbaan wat dateer uit 2014, die vlekke op Rice se rekords het almal teen voorheen onoorwonne vegters gekom.

“In my laaste geveg teen Coffie, Ek het daar ingegaan om myself te bewys en te doen waarvoor ek geoefen het,” sê Rice. “Dit was sink of swem, en ek het bo uitgekom. Nou moet ek Januarie daar uitgaan 1 en wys dat dit nie 'n gelukskoot was nie. Dit is 'n wonderlike stadium vir my om my talente te wys en te bewys dat ek tot groot dinge in staat is. Ek wil die aanhangers 'n goeie vertoning gee en ek weet dat Coffie dieselfde doen. Moenie hierdie geveg misloop nie.”

Koffie (12-1, 9 Uitklophoue) hoop om terug te bons van sy eerste loopbaannederlaag nadat hy die eerste wedstryd teen Rice in Julie laat vaar het. ’n Marine Corps-veteraan wat boks opgetel het nadat hy van oorsee teruggekeer het, Coffie het vinnig genoeg beïndruk in amateurtoernooie om sparringopdragte met Deontay Wilder en Adam Kownacki te verdien. Hy is in die Bronx gebore, maar treine nou in Orlando, Florida en deurgebreek in 2020 met drie oorheersende stopoorwinnings, insluitend uitklophoue oor voorheen onoorwonne teenstanders Darmani Rock en Luis Pena.

“Ek wil dit terugkry en dit 'n werklike stryd maak hierdie keer teen Jonny Rice,” sê Coffie. "Verlede tyd, Ek was in 'n posisie waar ek teëspoed ondervind het, en ek moes 'n besluit neem om deur te gaan met die geveg. Ek weet dat ek deur teëspoed kan veg, en op Januarie 1, Ek sal gereed wees vir watter kant toe die stryd ook al gaan. op Januarie 1, daar sal 'n geveg wees.”

Washington (20-4-1, 13 Uitklophoue) is 'n ses voet-ses swaargewig-aanspraakmaker wat 'n voormalige universiteitsvoetbaluitblinker aan die Universiteit van Suid-Kalifornië en 'n VSA was.

Voor daardie geveg, Washington het in Julie 'n uitklophou van die veteraan-aanspraakmaker Robert Helenius gelewer 2019. Washington was onoorwonne in sy eerste 19 pro-gevegte voordat hy sy wêreldtitel-uitdaging in Februarie aan Deontay Wilder laat vaar het 2017.

“Ek sien uit daarna om op 1 Januarie terug te stap in die ring,” gesê Washington. “Ek is gereed om te gaan werk en myself weer in posisie te kry vir 'n paar groot gevegte. My ondervinding gaan om die verskil in hierdie stryd wees. Dit gaan 'n wonderlike aand van swaargewigaksie wees!”

A 2016 Olimpiese Spele vir Turkye, Demirezen (14-1, 11 Uitklophoue) het uit Hamburg geveg, Duitsland in die professionele geledere sedert hy laat pro word 2016. Die 31-jarige het sy eerste gewen 11 pro gevegte, insluitend 'n tweede ronde onderbreking van Rad Rashid om 'n Europese swaargewigtitel te verower 2018. Demirezen het sy enigste ander U.S. begin in 2019, toe hy die eerste persoon geword het om die afstand teen Efe Ajagba te gaan, verloor deur besluit. Sedert daardie nederlaag, Demirezen het drie agtereenvolgende oorwinnings behaal, mees onlangs stop Nikola Milacic in Maart.

"Ek het baie geleer uit my verlies teen Ajagba en ek sien daarna uit om nog 'n kans te kry om in die VSA te boks," sê Demirezen. “Ek is steeds kwaad oor die Ajagba-geveg, want ek weet dat ek kon wen. Ek wil nou wys dat ek op hierdie verhoog hoort. Ek is trots om in hierdie posisie te wees om te wys wat ek kan doen en ek gaan die geleentheid ten beste benut.”

Die 29-jarige Faust (8-0, 6 Uitklophoue) het in Februarie pro geword 2020 na 'n uitgebreide amateurloopbaan wat uit sy geboorteland Svitlovodsk geveg het, Oekraïne. Faust het sy eerste vier teenstanders uitgestof, voor die oorheersende ses en agt ronde beslissings gewen het. Na 'n eerste ronde uitklophou oor voorheen onoorwonne Jacek Piatek in Mei, Faust het sy V.S. debuut in Oktober, Mike Marshall twee keer laat val op pad na 'n derde ronde TKO-oorwinning.

“Ek is baie opgewonde om terug te veg in die VSA. weer op 1 Januarie,” het Faust gesê. “Ek is hartlik verwelkom en om aan die staat te veg voel al soos my sitkamer. Ek hou van die atmosfeer. Dit is 'n wonderlike kans om myself te wys op hierdie betaal-per-kyk-program teen 'n baie hoë gehalte teenstander. Ek sal nie aanhangers teleurstel wanneer ek die ring instap nie.”

Kiladze (27-5-1, 19 Uitklophoue) het in September teruggekeer na die wenkolom, met 'n uitklopoorwinning oor Mathew McKinney. Sedert hy voltyds in die staat begin veg het 2017, Kiladze se verliese het teen die top-swaargewigte Adam Kownacki gekom, Michael Hunter, Efe Ajagba en Joe Joyce, wat 'n gekombineerde sport gehad het 45-1 rekord op pad na hul wedstryde teen Kiladze.

“We’re back in Brooklyn, it’s been a long time and I’m happy. I feel slim and trim. Everything is great headed into Saturday.

“I had a lot of ups and downs, but once we got into camp, we did what we had to do. We slowly improved each day and now we’re ready. It was a slow start, but we’re going to be finishing strong on Saturday.

“When I’m outside of the ring, I’m not the jealous type watching other people perform. But I feel better when I’m here living out my dream. These past weeks, I have just felt so good. I feel fantastic and ready to perform. I’m going to be an active fighter and one of the best welterweights in the world today.

“My ranking, my ‘0’ and my accomplishments haven’t gone anywhere. I’ve been out of sight and out of mind for a little, maar ek is nou weer terug. You can’t block a star from shining. We’re in the galaxy and shining bright.

“I’m definitely interested in a big unification fight with Errol Spence Jr. When I first met Errol at MGM Grand years ago, I told him that it’s nice to meet him and I can’t wait to get in there and scrap it out. I’m humble, but I’m also honest. I’m a man of my word. It doesn’t matter how many years ago that I said it, but from that day to this day, it’s a true statement.”

**JOSESITO LOPEZ**

“I’m confident in my abilities. Talk is cheap to me. What other people say makes no difference to me. I’ve come here to do a job and I’m going to do it.

“I know that I have a tough task ahead of me, but I also know that I can do it. I can pass this test. I’m ready for it. We’ve prepared right and everything is lined up. We worked hard for 10 weeks and now it’s time.

“It’s hard to say if Keith will be my toughest opponent, but he definitely has a great resume and is a great champion. I’ve fought some great guys but I’m taking this as the most important fight of my career.

“I think that since I started working with Robert Garcia, all of my skills are on par with Keith Thurman. Die belangrikste, I’m a much smarter fighter than I’ve ever been. I’m always going to be courageous in the ring, but we’ve developed a game plan where I take less unnecessary risks.

“The most important thing in my game plan is for me to dictate the pace. I need to control the ring throughout the fight. I’m prepared for however he brings the fight.”

**ADAM Kownacka**

“It’s going to be a sea of red and white on Saturday. The Polish fans are unbelievable and I can’t wait to go out there and get a knockout for them.

“I think I’ve improved my speed heading into this fight. Ek voel 'n groot. It’s been a long camp leading up to this huge card. I have to come out at my top condition. I made a slight statement against Charles Martin, and I’m going to make a bigger one against Gerald Washington.

“I definitely want to outdo the performances of Deontay Wilder and my friend Jarrell Miller against Washington. I want to have bragging rights. I want that knockout.

“Washington has fought contenders, good fighters and a guy I lost to in the amateurs in Nagy Aguilera. He’s proven that he’s game, and I’m expecting the best version of him. I’ll be ready.

“Boxing is a skill, not a bodybuilding contest. I proved my conditioning last fight by throwing 70 stoot 'n ronde. I’m in ever better shape right and I feel great.”

**GERALD WASHINGTON**

“We know where we want to be and we know this is a stepping stone to getting back there. I have to take the hard road and this is it. We’re prepared, we’re ready and I’m looking forward to January 26.

“Any of the top heavyweights would be great to fight, maar ek neem dit een geveg op 'n slag. This is going to be an action-packed fight.

“I have the total package. We’ll see everything I learned from my last fights and see if it makes a difference now.

“I know that Kownacki is going to come forward. I know what kind of fighter he is. I didn’t come here to lose. I came here to win and get back on the right track and into contention to win the heavyweight title.

“Styles make fights. I was doing very well in the Deontay Wilder fight, similar to what Tyson Fury was doing. This is a different type of fight. You’re going to see my skills come to life to contain this man.”

**CLAUDIO MARRERO**

“We went through a very serious, 10-week camp because we know that we’re here to fight a very strong fighter. I’ve taken everything to the fullest each day with intense work in training camp. Ek is gereed.

“We respect our opponent, but he’s coming to our weight division. I’ve been making this weight ever since I was a pro. In sy laaste stryd, he was dropped by Oscar Escandon, who’s a very good fighter, but he’s a smaller guy.

“We believe that this is the beginning of something beautiful. I’m going to be at the top of the rankings after this fight. We believe that winning this fight is going to take us back to the top level.

“I understand that this is my time to shine. I’m more focused and dedicated than I’ve ever been and it’s going to show in the ring on Saturday night.”

**TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYAR**

“I feel good and strong. I’ve had a great camp and I’m ready for Saturday night. I’m going to give a great show for the fans in my Brooklyn debut.

“I put everything into camp and I’m going to show it in the ring on Saturday night. I’m here to win and show off my athleticism. I believe I can do everything in the ring.

“Claudio Marrero is a good tough contender who’s been at this level for quite some time. He’s a good boxer who can punch, so we prepared for everything. He may have more pro experience, but I believe I have more boxing experience than Marrero. I’ve seen everything throughout the world.

“Now it’s just a matter of cultivating my skills and experience into becoming a world championship fighter. In this fight, I’m going to dictate the style of the fight. It’s going to go down on my terms.”

**CHRIS COLBERT**

“I’m going to go out there and dominate like I always do. I don’t have any resolutions for 2019. I’m just going to do the same thing and keep being great.

“New year, same me. I’m out here chasing greatness. I’m looking to keep winning and work my way to a world title. I’m not just talk, I’m the real deal.

“I don’t believe that you can be rushed into a world title fight. Ek is gereed. I don’t care if I’m considered a prospect for a contender, I’m just going to show everyone that I’m no fluke. I do this differently.

“I always fight for a cause and this time I’ve got my hair dyed pink for breast cancer awareness. It’s for my mom and all of the other survivors and people going through this.”

Thurman will return to action on January 26 from a long injury layoff after his most recent fight saw him unify welterweight titles by defeating Danny Garcia in March 2017 by Barclays Center. Here is what Thurman had to say about his return, Josesito Lopez and more from his training camp at the St. Pete Boxing Club in St. Petersburg, Florida:

How has training camp been going? Have there been any adjustments because of the injury?

“Training camp has been going well. It was a little bit of a slow start after so many months out of the ring, but I’m feeling great as we get closer to the fight. I’m starting to feel more and more like a world-class athlete again. It’s a good feeling working this hard and it reminds me what it’ll take to continue being the champion.”

Do you anticipate any ring rust? Do you think it will be more difficult to feel like yourself physically in the ring, or mentally trusting the injury is healed?

“I don’t think ring rust will be an issue. The only thing that even if this may not be the best Keith Thurman that people have ever seen, we’re focused on getting better and much stronger with each fight. But make no mistake, people will see one of the best welterweights in the world on January 26 at Barclays Center.”

When did you start to feel like you were turning the corner physically? Were you ever worried you wouldn’t be healthy enough to fight?

“You always have to be a little worried about new injuries. There’s nothing wrong with your car until the day it decides to break down. So at the end of the day, it’s always in the back of my mind. I run a lot of miles, so I wonder about my knees. I wonder about my shoulders also. Athletes and their bodies go through a lot of things. But here I go getting right back into things and I’m totally ready to showcase my talents on January 26.”

What kind of challenges does Josesito pose? What makes him a difficult opponent for you coming off a layoff?

“Josesito is experienced. He’s a busy fighter with good reach. He likes to mix it up and force his opponents to fight. He also has a new coach in Robert Garcia now, and I know he has a lot of confidence in his abilities. Josesito has been through ups and downs in his career, but he’s back on an upswing at the moment. Then he pinpointed me and called me out. So I’m looking forward to the challenge.”

What are you looking to show in this fight? How do you control your emotions and make sure you don’t press too much?

“I’m going to show my versatility in the ring. I’m going to show Josesito what it’s like to be in the ring with me. He might think it’s just all about my power, but I’ll show him what none of his sparring partners could. I’m going to show everyone the full package of skills I bring and enjoy every second of it.”

How do you see this fight looking stylistically?

“I like to let my opponent show me how the fight is going to go. I’ve thought many times that my opponents would do something specific, but then they do something totally different in the moment.

“I’m just prepared for any version of Josesito. I’m ready for him to come at me with punches in bunches, but I’m also ready if he wants to try box more and work behind his jab. I don’t think there’s anything that he’s going to do that I won’t be able to dominate. I’m going to move, trade on the inside, whatever it takes and we’ll see which road to victory looks the easiest.”

Here is what the fighters had to say Saturday before going face-to-face in the Barclays Center interview room, prior to the PBC on FOX fight night in Brooklyn:

KEITH THURMAN “I feel great physically. We’re working really hard and just getting back into everything we did before the injury. It feels tremendous and I’m so happy to be able to do this back in Brooklyn. Januarie 26, you will see the return of the number one welterweight in the world. I need to come back and stay active and healthy. I’m going to remind everyone this year why I’m one of the baddest men on the planet. Aan die einde van die dag, I’m here to make a statement that ‘One Time’ is terug. I have one belt, and I’m missing one belt. I’m going to re-establish my own accomplishments this year, then go from there. We’re taking it one fight at a time. Right now my eyes are set on Josesito Lopez.”

“I’m a world-class fighter. I’ve fought through injuries my whole career. A real fighter ends up getting addicted to the game. There’s nothing better in this life than being under those lights and being part of the action. My legacy is not over. Unification against Danny Garcia was not enough for me. Uiteindelik, I’m just waiting to be presented with a man who is better than me. There might not be one, but I’m not afraid to let my ‘0’ go. “I need fights like this against a guy like Josesito Lopez. He’s going to be there and give the fans a great fight. He’s coming to take me out. He looked like he was in shape a month ago when I first saw him. “It’s been a long time and I’m truly honored to be back. It’s been hard for me to not be in the ring while I wait for the elbow to recover. I’m so happy to be back.”

JOSESITO LOPEZ “I’m really excited to be here tonight. Keith Thurman is a world-class, elite fighter and I’m going to make the most of this opportunity. I’ve been in this position before and I’ve never shied away from big battles. This is another big one and I’m going to be ready for it and become world champion.”

“I’m sure Keith Thurman is as strong and skilled as anyone I’ve ever faced. He’s undefeated for a reason. I give him his respect for that. I’m preparing for him to be the best fighter I’ve ever faced. We’re both experienced fighters who have fought world class competition. I’ve faced my share of tough heavy punchers. I’ve pretty much seen it all. Come January 26, we’re going into deep waters and we’ll see how each of us reacts.”

“No matter how active Thurman has been, the importance of this opportunity doesn’t change. If anything we might see a better and healthier Keith Thurman than we’ve seen in years. I’m expecting the best Keith Thurman there is. I’m going in against one of the toughest welterweights out there. I don’t need anyone to believe in me but myself. I’m going to give it my all to come out with that title.”

ADAM Kownacka “Januarie 26 is going to be a great night. Elke keer as ek veg, it’s very exciting. I throw a lot of punches and bring the pressure. Gerald Washington is going to be a tough test, but if I get through him, I’m even closer to a title shot. That’s the ultimate goal.”

“It’s a little bit of a fairytale story. I was just a little kid from Brooklyn wearing the Golden Gloves and now I’m fighting at Barclays Center. It’s a whole new environment. Hopefully next year I’m the main event. That’s the goal and it’s going to be a dream come true. I have to keep working hard to achieve it.”

“I think when I fought Iago Kiladze, he was also a runner who could box. I managed the ring very well with him so I’m looking to do the same with Washington and punish the body. The taller they are the harder they fall. Gerald Washington is a tough exam. He’s a former title challenger and I know he’s going to bringing his A-game. My goal is to become the heavyweight champion of the world and in order to do that I have to get by Washington. That’s what I plan on doing.”

BROOKLYN (Desember 18, 2018) – Undefeated WBA Welterweight World Champion Keith “One Time” Thurman returns to the ring after a lengthy injury layoff to defend his title against veteran Josesito Lopez Saterdag, Januarie 26 live in primetime in the main event o Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes from Barclays Center, die huis van BROOKLYN boks ™.

Televisie dekking begin by 8 namiddag. ET / 5 pm. PT and will see a co-feature featuring fast-rising unbeaten Polish heavyweight contender Adam Kownacki as he clashes with former title challenger Gerald Washington in a 10-round battle and unbeaten featherweight contender Tugstgogt Nyambayar gevegte Claudio Marrero to open the telecast.

Tickets for the show begin at $50 en kan gekoop word by ticketmaster.com, barclayscenter.com,of deur te bel 800-745-3000. Tickets can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Groep afslag is beskikbaar deur te bel 844-afrit vir Brooklyn-GP.

“There is a high level of anticipation and intrigue surrounding the ring return of welterweight champion Keith Thurman, and Josesito Lopez will certainly provide some answers about where Thurman is after nearly two years out of the ring,’’ said Tom Brown, President van TGB Promotions. “Adam Kownacki and Gerald Washington have the opportunity to show exactly where they stand in the resurgent heavyweight division. Both of them are big heavyweights who love to throw power shots. Nyambayar and Marrero are guaranteed to add fireworks to an already thrilling show. It’s the kind of night that will have fans on the edge of their seats.’’

“I speak for boxing fans everywhere when I say we are eagerly anticipating Keith Thurman’s return to the ring,” said Brett Yormark, CEO of BSE Global. “He has experienced great success at Barclays Center, so it’s fitting that he will lead off a strong year of BROOKLYN BOXING programming in 2019. I also look forward to seeing local favorite Adam Kownacki, who always comes with a strong contingent of loud fans.”

Thurman (28-0, 22 Uitklophoue) made a steady rise through the welterweight ranks and reached the pinnacle with hard-fought victories over Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia at Barclays Center,the latter of which earned him a WBC crown in addition to his WBA title. But a string of injuries has sidelined him for nearly two years, calling into question his place amongst the 147-pound elites. The 30-year-old Thurman, who is still the reigning WBA welterweight champion, is looking to regain his top-tier status in the division starting with Lopez.

Thurman, who lives and trains in Clearwater, Florida, enters the ring for the first time since a split decision victory Garcia on March 4, 2017.

“I’m extremely excited to step back into the ring,’’ said Thurman. “It’s a little nerve-wracking considering the time off and because I want to have a tremendous performance. I want to speak more with my hands more than my words and quiet the naysayers who think that Keith Thurman has lost his passion and skills in boxing. I believe I’m the best welterweight in the division and in the world and I hope to showcase that on January 26 with a knockout. The best fights in the welterweight division have involved Keith Thurman and that will continue to be the case. I’m looking forward to having a tremendous year and showing why I’m number one.”

The 34-year-old Lopez(36-7, 19 Uitklophoue) is looking to thwart Thurman’s plans to regain his lofty position in the 147-pound division. Nicknamed “The Riverside Rocky’’ because of his all-action style, the Riverside, California-native has stepped into the ring against some of the best boxers of this generation. He has rattled off three straight victories since suffering a TKO loss to former welterweight champion Andre Berto in 2015. Lopez is coming off a unanimous decision victory over previously unbeaten Miguel Cruz on April 28 live on FOX.

“I’m approaching this fight leaving no stone unturned as I prepare to take that world championship,’’Lopez said. “I’ve set up training camp with altitude, chasing chickens,chopping wood – really into putting in the work. Overall the layoff will affect him and there could be a little hesitation, but we’ll see come fight night. The improvements that I’ve made with Robert Garcia the last couple of years will come into play. They’ve strengthened my qualities and I can’t wait to show it to the world.”

Kownacki (18-0, 14 Uitklophoue) has risen through the heavyweight ranks with a tough-as-nails brawling style that produced a string of knockout victories and exciting showdowns. His knockout streak ended at four in his last fight when he scored a unanimous decision victory over former heavyweight champion Charles Martin on Sepember 8. Kownacki, who was born in Lomza, Poland and now lives in Brooklyn, will be fighting at Barclays Center for a third straight time and the eighth time overall.

“Living in Brooklyn this is like a home game for me,” said Kownacki.” I’ve had some of my best performances at Barclays Center and I can’t wait to step into the ring against Gerald Washington and showcase myself on PBC on FOX. There is nothing better to start off the year than with a knockout and that’s what I plan on doing on January 26 by Barclays Center. I hope all my fans will come out like they always do and have the arena in white and red.’’

Washington (19-2-1, 12 Uitklophoue) is a 6-foot-6 heavyweight who has been able to use his athletic ability to power his way past most of the opponents he faces. That athleticism will pose a challenge to Kownacki, who could be facing the toughest fight of his career.The 36-year-old Washington of Vallejo, California is a former college football standout at the University of Southern California and a U.S. Navy veteran who has challenged Deontay Wilder for his championship. He is coming off a unanimous decision victory over John Wesley Nofire in his last fight on June 10.

“I can’t wait to show everything I’ve been working on,’’ said Washington, “Boxing is a sport of truth. It brings the truth to light and it exposed my truth and what I needed to work on. You have to be able to adjust and be comfortable in every situation. You have to be ready for what’s to come. I’m expecting a hard fight from him. He’s a bruiser. He’s tough and he loves to fight. He’s in his hometown and he’s ready and he’s going to bring it, but I’m ready to position myself to fight again for a world title.’’

Afbetaal (10-0, 9Uitklophoue) has made a rapid ascent through the talent-laden featherweight division with precision and power. The 26-year-old Nyambayar, who is from Ulan-Bator Mongolia and now lives in Carson, Kalifornië, won a silver medal in the 2012 London Olympics as a member of the Mongolian boxing team. He scored a KO victory over Oscar Escandon in his last fight on May 26.

Marrero (23-2, 17Uitklophoue), a 29-year-old southpaw from Santo Domingo, Dominikaanse Republiek, is coming off a stunning KO victory over Jorge Lara in his last fight on April 28.Marrero two losses have come against former featherweight champion Jesus Cuellar in 2013 and Jesus Rojas in 2015. A victory over Nyambayar will putMarrero in position to fight for a world title again.w

Kauffman (31-2, 23 Uitklophoue) will look to boost his own contender credentials with a win after most recently dropping a close majority decision to Amir Mansour last March in Kauffman’s hometown of Reading, Pennsylvania. Kauffman had entered that bout with a 14 veg onoorwonne streep, including dropping Chris Arreola in a fight that resulted in a no contest and a knockout of former title challenger Epifanio Mendoza.

“I am excited to get back in the ring,” gesê Kauffman. “I have not been in the ring in a year and a half and I can’t wait to go in there and show that I still have a lot left. I am not going in there to win by decision. I am going in there looking to knock him out, because I am tired of leaving it up to the judges.”

The 29-year-old Alexander (14-2-2, 8 Uitklophoue) has put together two straight victories since losing to LaRon Mitchell by unanimous decision in 2016. Veg uit Los Angeles, Alexander is noted for his fast hands, and scored a TKO victory over Pedro Julio Rodriguez in his last fight on March 3.

“I’ve been working hard preparing for a fight at the end of June so I jumped at this opportunity,” Alexander said. “I’m always ready to step into the ring and take on any and all challenges. I’m ready to make my mark. My tyd is nou!”

A U.S. Navy veteran who also played tight end and defensive end at the University of Southern California, Washington (18-2-1, 12 Uitklophoue) will step into the ring looking to score a bounce back victory on June 10. Washington was stopped in his world title challenge last February against Deontay Wilder on FOX, although he was nearly even on the scorecards at the time, before losing a bout to unbeaten Jarrell Miller in July. Prior to those fights, Washington had been unbeaten in 19 pro fights with victories over a slew of veteran contenders.

A Cherokee-burger gebore in Oklahoma en opleiding uit Miami, Nofire (20-1, 16 Uitklophoue) most recently scored a second round stoppage of Stacy Frazier last September. The 32-year-old was riding a four-fight knockout streak that includes stoppages of Yasmany Consuegra and Ty Cobb before losing his first pro fight to Joey Abell in 2016 op FS1 en FOX Sport.

After representing the U.S. by die 2012 Olimpiese Spele, Hunter (13-1, 8 Uitklophoue) turned pro and began rising up the cruiserweight rankings until losing his first world title fight to unified champion Oleksandr Usyk last April. The 29-year-old returned to action this April with a decision victory and will set his sights on a world title shot at heavyweight.

Kiladze (26-2, 18 Uitklophoue) was riding a six-bout winning streak into his January matchup with unbeaten Adam Kownacki that ended with Kiladze losing in six rounds. Representing the country of Georgia and now fighting out of Los Angeles, Kiladze will be in his fifth fight as a full time heavyweight on June 10.
