HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (Maio 1, 2017) – Two-time world heavyweight champion Shannon “O Canón” Briggs and three-time title challenger Fres Oquendo will battle for the World Boxing Association (WBA) Heavyweight Championship in the main event of Backyard Brawl: Briggs vs. Oquendo a ter lugar no Sábado, Xuño 3, 2017 at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. As portas abren ás 6 p.m. with first fight at 7 p.m. Tickets are on sale now.
One of boxing’s most popular and larger-than-life personalities who fights in its resurgent glamor division, Briggs’ self-made brand and boxing acumen has helped him land several world title fights since 1998. No Xuño 3, the 45-year-old Briggs will bring a five-fight knockout streak into the ring as he attempts to make history by matching the likes of two-time world heavyweight champion George Foreman. The oldest heavyweight champion ever, Foreman won his final heavyweight championship at the age of 45.
“Fighting for the WBA Heavyweight Championship against Fres Oquendo is a wonderful opportunity and true privilege,” said Briggs. “Being able to fight at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, in front of my hometown fans and right in my backyard is extremely exciting. I’m working very hard right now with some great sparring partners that are pushing me to the limit. Fight night will be a long one for Fres Oquendo. I want to dedicate this fight to my children, miña familia, all of my fans and to all of the people around the world who have suffered from depression. I’m living proof that you can make it. Don’t give up. LET’S GO CHAMP!”
Returning to the ring after a disputed defeat to Ruslan Chagaev in a 2014 loita polo título, Oquendo is co-promoted by future Hall of Famer Roy Jones Jr.’s Square Ring Promotions and Hitz Boxing as he looks to become the first heavyweight champion from Puerto Rico since John Ruiz in 2001.
“This will be a great fight between two veteran American fighters,” Dixo Oquendo. “I’ve fought in Miami five times, máis, I train at the historic 5th Street Gym in Miami Beach, so I’m very comfortable here. The trials and tribulations I’ve encountered for 30 years in this sport and 20 como un profesional, are finally coming to fruition. They say third time is the charm, but the fourth is the holy grail and the most special. I’m dedicating this fight to Jaxon King, my friend’s son who just passed away at five years of age. I’m also doing this for my mentor, Muhammad Ali. Winning his belt on the anniversary of his passing will be special. I’m going to borrow the belt for a bit and give it back when I’m done beating Shannon.”
Less than 30 miles from the Miami Beach Convention Center that hosted the 1964 Fight of the Year between Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston, Briggs and Oquendo will look to ignite the passions of the rabid boxing fans in South Florida as they seek a piece of the championship crown and move closer to the ultimate goal of unifying the heavyweight division.
“We’re extremely excited about bringing this WBA Heavyweight World Championship fight to Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino,” said Kris Lawrence, founder of The Heavyweight Factory. “We’re really proud of Shannon Briggs, who has a chance to tie George Foreman’s record and become a champion for a third time. It is truly amazing for a heavyweight like Shannon to have lasted and preserved himself for so long. He was champion in two different decades. First in 1997 e, a continuación 2006. Now in 2017, he has the chance to do it again. We hope to see everyone coming out and supporting Shannon Briggs the night of the fight, as he is the ‘People’s Champ.’ LET’S GO CHAMP!”
Briggs has made South Florida his home and training camp for much of his career. He will be making his fourth start at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and his ninth in the state.
Representing the boxing hotbed of Brooklyn, Briggs (60-6-1, 53 Kos) seeks the third heavyweight world title in his long and eventful career. Briggs became a world champion in 2006 when he scored a 12th round stoppage of Siarhei Liakhovich. Briggs has faced the best heavyweights in the world and won the lineal heavyweight world title from George Foreman in 1997. He also defeated Ray Mercer in 2005, in addition to world title challenges of Lennox Lewis and Vitali Klitschko. He enters this fight as the winner of his last nine contests, including eight knockouts and a 12-round decision over Raphael Zumbano Love.
Originally from Puerto Rico and fighting out of Chicago throughout his pro career, Oquendo (37-8, 24 Kos)looks to capitalize on his fourth opportunity and capture a world title. The slick-boxer has faced a slew of top heavyweights throughout his career, including narrow decision losses to Evander Holyfield and James Toney, plus title challenges of Chris Byrd and John Ruiz. The 44-year-old owns recent victories over Derric Rossy and Joey Abell in addition to triumphs over Clifford Etienne, David Izon and Javier Mora.
Briggs vs. Oquendo Fight Week promises to excite with week-long events that will lead up to this historic night. Among the boxing royalty invited to Fight Week and Fight Night are Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Roy Jones Jr, Michael Moorer, Riddick Bowe and more.

CAMPIÓN MUNDIAL DE PESO PESADO WBC DEONTAY WILDER CONFERENCIA DE MEDIOS DESTACADOS DA CONVOCATORIA ANTE ANTHONY JOSHUA vs.. Wladimir Klitschko

Leave a comment

O campión do mundo de peso pesado estadounidense Deontay Wilder organizou unha conferencia de prensa para dar o seu pensamento o sábado de Superproducción de peso pesado entre o invicto campión da FIB Anthony Joshua e o reinante Wladimir Klitschko en directo en SHOWTIME® (4:15 p.m. E/1:15 p.m. PT) do estadio de Wembley de Londres esgotado.

Wilder (38-0, 37 Kos), que gañou o seu cinto do CMB en xaneiro 2015 en SHOWTIME e dende entón fixo cinco defensas, servirá como analista de Sky Sports Box Office para Joshua vs. Klitschko.

A sensación británica Joshua (18-0, 18 Kos) e Klitschko (64-4, 54 Kos) unificará a división de peso pesado mentres se reúnen para o Campionato Mundial IBF de Joshua e o Campionato Mundial da AMB vacante fronte a marca. 90,000 afeccionados no estadio máis grande de Gran Bretaña.

Aquí está o que Wilder tivo que dicir na chamada o luns:

Deontay WILDER:

"Encántame esta loita por estes mozos. Encántame polo deporte do boxeo. Os fans parecen estar ben en sintonía con iso e creo que esta é unha super loita para a división de peso pesado.

"Non podo esperar por iso. Non podo esperar a ver que pasa e espero que eses rapaces entren sans e saian do mesmo xeito. Este é un deporte moi perigoso, especialmente cando estás intentando actuar e facer un espectáculo".

Sobre o que Wilder ve como vulnerabilidades en Joshua...

"Hai moitos defectos que ten Joshua, pero Joshua aínda é novo no xogo tamén. Moita xente mira a Joshua e vaise fóra do seu físico e vanse a desfacerse do bombo que lles trouxo o seu paisano..

"Se realmente miras no fondo e buscas a alma e miras o seu currículo, con todos os mozos cos que loitou... iso ás veces fai que unha persoa pareza máis ocupada do que é. Con todo, hai moitos defectos en todos nós, para ser honesto. Ninguén nunca será perfecto no ring. Nós só tratamos de ser o mellor posible e iso é o único do que debes saír.

"Estou ansioso por esta loita e non podo esperar. Quero que entre Klitschko e loita. Sempre podes estar entusiasmado por unha gran loita, pero todo se reduce a que loitador vai traer o que á loita. Creo que está preparado e que vai amosar moitas cousas. Vai ensinarlle a Joshua moitas cousas diferentes no ring, tamén, e veremos se Joshua ten algún defecto ou non".

Ao loitar contra o gañador a finais deste ano...

"Oxalá. Hai moita xente que está involucrada nisto. Se só fose por min, estaríao 1,000 por cento de confianza, pero non son só eu. Iso é o que queren os afeccionados. Eu teño ganas de darlle aos fans o que queren durante toda a miña carreira. Desafortunadamente, Son un deses loitadores que sempre reciben o extremo curto do pau. Só podo traballar co que podo traballar.

"Estou moi seguro de ser o mellor desta división. Estou moi seguro de que vou unificar esta división. Estou moi seguro de que me retirarei arriba, invicto tamén. Só estou esperando o meu momento. Levo sentado pacientemente todo este tempo, mesmo no inicio da miña carreira e agora son paciente. Estou desexando que chegue o meu turno".

Sobre por que é importante para el estar á beira do ring en Londres...

"Cando tes rapaces que compiten uns contra outros na parte superior, só é correcto que estea alí. Non vou saír só para estar en Sky Sports, Seguro que vou alí a buscar. Todos os demais pesos pesados ​​veñen ás miñas loitas. Non están só para ser fan. Están alí para explorar e buscar diferentes ocos e certos sinais.

"Definitivamente vou a buscar. E quizais poidamos facer un combate de mega-unificación.

"Quero ir buscar [Joseph] Parker. Parker non ten rival neste momento. estou fresco. Estou preparado e que sería mellor que eu e Parker loitando pola unificación e despois ter outra unificación onde o gañador o leva todo ao final do ano? Logo, 2018 podes comezar o ano sen máis que obrigatorios.

"A división de peso pesado está a ser emocionante. Esta é a división de peso pesado, e xa estamos saíndo dese lugar escuro e por fin temos luz. Non o volvas. Non retrocedes cando estamos avanzando tan recén. Con iso, Quero avanzar máis. Quero darlle aos afeccionados o que queren, e queren unha unificación. Queren un campión e eu estou intentando que iso suceda. Entón aquí estou Joseph Parker".

Ao romper a Joshua-Klitschko...

"Con Klitschko definitivamente sinto que faltan un pouco as ensinanzas de Emanuel Steward., pero non ten a culpa. Steward era moi, adestrador moi intelixente. As cousas que podía ver e as cousas que pode meterse na cabeza dos loitadores, iso era incrible. Non era un gran adestrador sen motivo e foi entón cando pensei que Klitschko era o mellor cando tiña a Emanuel na súa esquina.. Non só cando está dentro do ring senón tamén cando está fóra. Agora, Só sinto dende que se foi, trátase máis do que quere facer Wladimir, non é o que ven os seus adestradores.

"Con Joshua, ten a altura e ten o poder. Na división dos pesos pesados, non necesitas habilidades. Sempre que teñas o poder, iso é o que conforma a división de peso pesado. Estás no xogo unha vez que teñas ese poder... Terán que xogar unha loita dianteira para sentirse un pouco fóra..

"Se Joshua quere ter éxito, definitivamente terá que moverse e tomar ángulos e ser intelixente con Klitschko. Porque Klitschko é moi intelixente, estivo arredor do bloque, ten un excelente golpe, e vai montar a Xosué. A súa intelixencia vai xogar moito.

"Josué non é tan flexible. Non creo que sexa súper atlético e non teña tanta coordinación pola rixidez. Pero definitivamente ten unha gran oportunidade nesta loita e gustaríame ver que pasa, e esperemos que todo salga con ter unha mega-loita a finais de ano".

Sobre a derrota de Klitschko ante Fury...

"Klitschko non perdeu ao non poder competir con Tyson Fury, ou facer as cousas que tiña que facer. Perdeu porque non botou ningún maldito golpe. Quero que loite nesta loita. Non quero que se retrase, porque Fury era máis grande ca el ou isto e aquilo. Esquece todo iso. Tes que entrar alí e loitar. Ti es o campión. Non che importa que ninguén sexa máis grande ca ti. Entras alí e esqueces todo iso e defendes o teu título porque es o rei e non vas deixar que ninguén o tome... E así debería entrar alí..

"Hai un momento e un lugar para ser agradable. Non sempre podes ser agradable. Tes que entrar alí e dicirlles que aínda son un monstro, Eu aínda son unha besta, Sigo sendo ese león e comereino vivo cando che poña alí.’ E iso é o que ten que vir a traer á mesa..

"Estou moi preparado para esta loita. Estou desexando que veña despois disto. Estou ansioso por unificar esta división e traela de volta a América, onde estaba antes e onde sempre permanecerá unha vez que traia todos os cintos.. Vai volver, Eu prometer a vostede que.

“A idade é só un número e se sentes que aínda o tes en ti e confías en ti mesmo, entón iso é o que vai facer. A mente é algo poderoso que perder. E cando perdas a cabeza, perdes o teu corpo.

"Con Klitschko, sente que se dedicou de novo ao deporte e por iso di que está obsesionado. Está obsesionado con conservar os seus títulos, está obsesionado con volver a subir no boxeo. É como un novo loitador. Necesitaba esa derrota ante Tyson Fury porque esqueceu ser humilde. Esqueceuse diso.

"Agora que se reconstruíu, ten esa fame, ese lume. Ao final do día, o único que importa é a noite da pelexa. Pode vir a nós con outra loita contra Tyson Fury, falando de altura e peso, ou pode traer ese Klitschko como sempre vimos cos jabs e montando coas mans correctas... Xa veremos que pasa".

Sobre a súa predición para o gañador e por que...

"Vou continuar coa miña declaración tal e como o veño dicindo. O meu corazón está por Joshua, pero a miña mente está para Klitschko. O meu corazón está por Joshua porque me encantaría loitar contra el; creo que sería unha mega loita. Aínda que Joshua está loitando contra Klitschko, a xente aínda está falando a día de hoxe sobre unha loita entre Wilder e Joshua. Case se esixe. Se este neno vence a Klitschko é coma se a única pelexa que pode ter fose eu, porque foi tan demandado.

"A miña mente vai para Klitschko, porque é moi intelixente. A xente fala da idade, pero como dixen, a idade tamén pode xogar unha vantaxe. Klitschko viu todos os estilos que hai... E cando o ves de novo, sabes manexalo e adaptarte a el. Xa sabes o que tes que facer.

"El sabía o que tiña que facer contra Fury, simplemente non apretou o gatillo porque tiña medo de ser castigado. Foi culpa súa. Agora é unha mágoa para el. Agora volve por segunda vez por un título, así que se o fai de novo, vai ter que renunciar a el. Por esas razóns, o meu corazón vai para Joshua, pero a miña mente vai para Klitschko.

As much as I hate to sell my most valuable piece of boxing memorabilia, I don’t have a man cave or game room to put this in, so this signed Mike Tyson glove is on the market. This comes with an official certificate of authenticity and was signed about 8 years ago in Las Vegas. The glove itself is a Muhammad Ali Signature Series glove with Ali’s signature printed on it at the factory. I am asking $500 and will ship it to you anywhere in the US for an additional $10.

RAHMAN JR. READY TO BEGIN HIS OWN HEAVYWEIGHT LEGACY AT SKYLANDS ECC ON THURSDAY, MARZO 23

Leave a comment
Having grown up the son of a former undisputed and two-time World Heavyweight Champion, Hasim Rahman Jr., doesn’t mind that the world will be watching from the beginning of his professional boxing career.
“This isn’t new,” explained Rahman. “I’m so used to being who I am and having eyes on me that it would be awkward to not have them. It hasn’t mattered who I was my whole life, or what I did. The world was watching because of who my father is.”
Rahman Jr., cuxo pai, Hasim “The Rock” Rahman famously knocked out Lennox Lewis in April 2001 to win the WBC and IBF Heavyweight Championships, will make his professional debut against Kansas City’s Brian Imes (1-4, 1 KO) en Xoves, Marzo 23, 2017, at Greg Cohen Promotions’ SUPER BRAWL® III, boxing event at the Skylands Event & Conference Center (ECC) in Randolph, New Jersey.
Presented in association with Rising Promotions and GH3 Promotions (sponsored by David Schuster’s Winner Take All Productions), SUPER BRAWL® III will also feature the Bronx, New York’s Halili brothers: power-punching super-welterweight action hero Skender Halili (13-1, 13 Kos) taking on Ecuadorian veteran Eduardo “El Cheíto” Flores (25-25-3, 15 Kos) no evento principal de oito asaltos, and undefeated Enver Halili (8-0, 2 Kos) facing Nicaragua’s Ariel Vasquez (13-16-2, 9 Kos) in the six-round welterweight co-main.
Tickets for SUPER BRAWL® III are priced at Golden Ringside $150, Ringside $100 e Xeneral Admission $50 and can be purchased by calling the GCP office: 212.851.6425 ou en liña en gcpboxing.com.
“My dad is like an advisor,” continuou. “My dad is the only person I know that truly has my best interests at heart. Anybody else I ever dealt with, it always came down to money at the end of the day. My dad never asks me for anything. I know he knows the game and I know that with him on my team, the sky is the limit.”
25-year-old Rahman is getting a later-than-expected start at his highly-anticipated boxing career. Coming off his successful 100-fight run as an amateur, the buzz was all around the 6′ 3″ 250-lb. fighter, but a fatal car accident in 2012 saw him serving a 2- to 5-year sentence with the Department of Corrections.
Recently released and now ready to go on with life, Rahman says the entire experience changed him for the good. “It was an eye-opener for me. Going through that really changed my career and how I felt as a person, and a son, un pai, and a husband. It changed me. I am grateful god blessed me to be in this position today.”
Rahman says he doesn’t know much about first opponent Imes, but he and trainer Kenny Ellis are hard at work at Upton Boxing Center in Baltimore.
“Eu me sinto gran. I’m really anxious, but the nervousness hasn’t kicked in. It will around fight time. My team says it’s a good fight for me. Being off for two and a half years, I’m looking to get in some rounds.”
Despite the delayed start, Team Rahman has no plan on rushing things.
“I just want to stay busy as I can and learn as much as I can and fight for a world title when I’m ready. I’m not going to rush. Non hai présa. It’s not like I’m going to wait forever. I will fight for the title when I’m ready and I know if it put in the work, I’ll be ready in a about two years. That’s the goal for me. If it takes three or four years, it does. Whatever the case may be. I’ll keep racking up the knockouts until it happens.”
For Rahman, the decision to follow in his famous father’s footsteps was a rational one.
“I’ve always been taught to plan ahead. When I was in middle school, I was really into football. I played tight end, running back and wide receiver. I had dreams. But it dawned on me how many people have the same dream that I do. Por exemplo, there are a million young African American men wanting to go to the NBA every year. 400,000 of them will play high school basketball. 4000 of those will play college. 35 will be drafted. Out of the that 35, unicamente 7 will start. That means there are a million people trying to get 7 empregos. And the average career in the NBA is four years. That’s a problem. People have to look at their odds. I did. Así, I said ‘know what? Instead of being in this giant pool of people trying to be the next Ray Lewis. I rarely run across someone who wants to be heavyweight champion of the world,’ so that’s what I decided to do. No father and son duo have ever become heavyweight champions. It’s never been done. For me to be in the position to cement our family name in heavyweight championship history is very motivating and I’m ready to take full advantage of it.”
Signing with Greg Cohen Promotions was an easy decision, according to Rahman, who has known the Jersey-based promoter for most of his life.

“I really want to thank Greg Cohen for the chance he’s given me,” el dixo. “I’ve known Greg since I was a kid and he has always believed in me. He has always supported me and kept in contact and followed me. He has a real genuine interest in me. Greg already knows he has the best new heavyweight in the world. I’m really dedicated to making him and my father and the City of Baltimore proud.”
SUPER BRAWL® III will be broadcast, tape-delayed, on Sportsnet New York (SNY). Na noite da loita, As portas abren ás 6:00 pm ea acción comeza ás 7:00 pm. The Skylands ECC is located at 792 Ruta 10 West in Randolph, NJ. Teléfono: 973.328.8600.

Tugstsogt Nyambayar Wins by 10th Round TKO Over Jhon Gemino
Prema AQUI for Photos from Premier Boxing Champions
(Photos Will Be Available Shortly)
BIRMINGHAM, AL. (Febreiro 25, 2017) – Undefeated rising prospect Caleb Plant (15-0, 10 Kos) scored a unanimous decision (100-89, 100-89, 99-90) victory over an experienced Thomas Awimbono (25-7-1, 21 Kos) in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes from the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, AL.
Na apertura televisado, Tugstsogt Nyambayar (8-0, 7 Kos) emerged victorious with a hard-fought 10thround technical knockout over Jhon Gemino (15-8-1, 7 Kos).
Here is what the fighters had to say following their bouts:
CALEB PLANT
“Tonight was about staying controlled. I didn’t want to go out there and force anything. I just wanted to relax and settle in behind my jab, use my faints, and just take the shots that were there for me.
“I’m hoping that a win like this opens up some doors for me. O 168 lbs division is in my back pocket. I’m just taking it one fight at a time and we’ll reach our goal.
“Going the distance to get a win over an experienced fighter like Awimbono shows a lot about my potential. He’s been in there with some great fighters, but I fought my fight and got the win.
“I dropped him early with a flurry, but it’s hard against a guy who didn’t want to engage. You’ve got to take what they give you. Otherwise I risk going in too aggressive and getting caught off guard, which I can’t allow. I have to remain patient and find my spots.
“I’m hoping for bigger fights every time. We don’t want any soft touches. I’ve been trying to get fights with some top prospects, guys with some minor titles, but they won’t take the fight. I can’t let that bother me though, because I know I’m a high risk for these guys. It might be early in my career, but I can make the adjustments and do it all.”
TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYAR
“It meant a lot to get a win like that against a rugged fighter on short notice.
“We were looking for a knockout much earlier, but Gemino was really tough tonight. He showed a lot of heart, but thankfully we got the win.
“Even though this was a heavier weight than I’m used to fighting at, I had no problem handling his size.
“Fighting on a card like this on FS1 and FOX Deportes means the world to me. This was a big opportunity to showcase my skills.
“I want anyone they put in front of me next. I’ll face whoever.”
JHON GEMINO
“I’m not trying to make excuses, but we took this fight on very short notice. I’m very frustrated with my performance tonight.
“I’ll do everything I can to get another fight in the U.S. and I promise to always give it my all. I hope the fans enjoyed our fight tonight.
“I’m willing to fight anyone, I just wish I had more time to prepare for Nyambayar.”

Deontay Wilder Scores Sensational Fifth Round KO Over Gerald Washington To Retain Heavyweight World Title

Jarrett Hurd Defeats Tony Harrison By Ninth Round KO To
Secure IBF Junior Middleweight Title
Dominic Breazeale Stops Izuagbe Ugonoh In Action-Packed
Brawl To Win by Fifth Round KO
Prema AQUI for Photos from Premier Boxing Champions
(Photos Will Be Available Shortly)
BIRMINGHAM, AL. (Febreiro 25, 2017) – Undefeated heavyweight world champion Deontay “A Bomber Bronce” Wilder (38-0, 37 Kos) knocked out Gerald “The Black Rooster” Washington (18-1-1, 12 Kos) in the fifth round of the main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes at the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, AL.
In front of a crowd of 12,346 fans, Wilder was able to give his home state crowd another scintillating victory. Although Washington stole some of the early rounds, Wilder’s patience paid off as he was able to find his pace and finish Washington in the fifth frame.
In the blistering televised opener, Dominic Breazeale (18-1, 16 Kos) stopped previously unbeaten Izuagbe Ugonoh (17-1, 14 Kos). Ugonoh controlled the fight early landing heavy blows to both Breazeale’s body and head, but Breazeale was able to compose himself and stormed back to knock out Ugonoh in impressive fashion.
The co-main event featured Jarrett Hurd (20-0, 14 Kos) knocking out Tony Harrison (24-2, 20 Kos) in the ninth round of their contest.
Here is what the fighters had to say following their bouts:
Deontay WILDER
“I knew he was going to come in excited to fight for a world title. I just kept calm and found my rhythm. I really knew he was going to tire out, and when he did I took advantage.
“It was all about timing. I’m very smart when it comes to using different tactics in the ring.
“Fighting here in Alabama is a blessing. The people here show up to support me and I love them for it. I’m always going to support and be here for my Alabama family. To see the crowd’s response tonight meant a lot to me.
“As I’ve been saying, I’m looking to unify the division. I think it’s critical to have one fighter and one champion, and that’s Deontay Wilder. Let’s hope Joseph Parker is ready for me because I’m definitely ready for him.”
GERALD WASHINGTON
“I just got a little impatient. I was trying to go for it. It was an even boxing match. I could have kept it like that and kept it boring. I don’t know why I fell asleep there. I guess I lost a little focus.
“I caught him with one shot when he was coming in. But instead of me keeping that play going and keep pushing him back and keep him in control by keeping him in the center of the ring, I tried to get on him. I was trying to play a little counter punch role and catch him coming in. El só me colleu.
“It’s just an experience. You have to follow the game plan and stay focused, sé paciente. You may not get all the shots you want in the beginning, but you have to play the game all the way out and then things will start to happen.”
JARRETT HURD
“We wanted to take our time with him because Harrison can box and move. But every time he fights he wears down toward the end.
“During the sixth round, he caught me with a good shot inside my left eye. But I managed to fight through it and get the win.
“It feels great to be a champion. I’ve never had a feeling this great before. It’s pure Accokeek power. I can finally pull my pants up now. My pants were falling down, but I finally got my belt.”
Dominic Breazeale
“It took a little time for me to find my pace, but eventually I found my Rhythm. Izu came in in great shape and with guns blazing. He came at me with some stuff that I wasn’t expecting. Him being the lighter guy I wasn’t really expecting the power he possessed.
“I was able to connect some big shots tonight, especially with my right hand. You see what happens when I put him down and he never really recovered.
“Coming off the loss to Joshua, this win puts me right back in there. This is what I’ve always asked for. My team does an incredible job of getting me any fight I ask for, and I wanted to fight an undefeated guy like Izu. El é un gran, forte, athletic guy.
“Esta noite, the story was about me having the heart of a lion, getting knocked down, but getting right back up to finish this fight.”
IZUAGBE UGONOH
“I expected that I was going to knock him out. I believed I would accomplish that, but he didn’t surprise me with anything. I was landing some good shots to both his body and his face.
“Breazeale showed a lot of heart though, and I think that his experience really helped him. I think a fight like Anthony Joshua really helped him realize that he could take anything and win the fight. He did that tonight.
“Honesta, I just got tired. I gave him what I had and then I got tired. When he came back at me I wasn’t able to keep up and finish through on my game plan.
“The plan was to really use my double jab, and I’m not making any excuses. This is the fight game. Esta foi unha gran oportunidade para min, a big step up, and I was hoping to get it done. Non, but that is part of sports. I’m not used to losing, but that time came today. I’m still a dangerous man to fight.”

Aquí está o que os loitadores tiñan que dicir Xoves:
Deontay WILDER
“My time off has allowed me to get a better relationship with my left hand. There are so many different ways to throw a jab that I didn’t think I could do. Working with one arm allowed me to be exposed to a lot of new things. It’s going to be a different Deontay Wilder in the ring.
“It’s been a journey for me. I know there’s a purpose to all of it and there’s a reason why I’m here and why I’m the champ. Everything has manifested my way.
“This is a fantastic card o sábado night and I know these other guys can’t wait to get into the ring.
“Sábado night is going to be an electric fight. I love my state and I love being able to come back to Alabama. Home is where my heart is. It feels good to continue to give back.
“I’m overwhelmed. I’m so ready for this fight. Everyone has a story to tell. Everything that has happened with my opponents is in the past. I’m in love with this sport. I have a goal to reach in this sport and I will reach it.
“I always put myself in the position of my opponents and think about if that was me. That’s why I have so much passion for this sport and I give it my all. I don’t want to end up like my opponents. I don’t want to see what those lights looks like from the bottom.
“I want people to look back on my legacy and see that it was a long journey. I’ve paved the way for my city and my state. I’ve laid the bread crumbs and now people can follow.
“When my first opponent dropped out, the first name that came to my mind was Gerald Washington. I appreciate the way he conducted himself. Every time I saw him, he always shook my hand and told me he was ready.
“I know Gerald is excited. I was too. I know what it’s like to be able to fight for one of the most prestigious belts in the world. Pero, it’s my belt. I’m still enjoying it. Even though I’m heavyweight champion of the world, I’m still humble. I keep the belt in its case, until it’s time for me to fight again. I’m not satisfied. There is still more to attain.”
GERALD WASHINGTON
“I’ve had an incredible run to get me hear. I’m thankful to Deontay for picking me for this fight. He could have chosen a lot of opponents, but he picked me and I’m grateful for that.
“Isto é un soño feito realidade. I started boxing as a kid but I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I’ve had a long road, but now I’m here fighting for the heavyweight championship of the world. This just means so much to me.
“My trainer John Pullman and I started working together and we’ve gotten through every obstacle. It’s hard work but we put in the work together and now we’re here. That’s what life is all about. You have to take risks and when it’s time, it’s time to handle your business. It’s my time and I’m ready.
“I’m so happy to be able to do what I love. I’m going up against Deontay Wilder, the Bronze Bomber, no seu curro. You can’t take away what he’s accomplished. But I’m here to handle my business.
“I try to live as a champion and now it’s my opportunity to be a champion. I’m going to grab this opportunity and take it.”
TONY HARRISON
“As a competitor, I was already excited about the fight when they called me about fighting Hurd. I said yes immediately. Jarett Hurd’s name is mentioned every time you mention the 154-pound division. I started this off wanting to be the best and to do that, I have to beat the best.
“It was a fight for me that I jumped on immediately. When I got the call that it was going to be a title fight, I knew that this was going to be a legacy fight.
“I think we have mutual respect heading into this fight. He respects me just as much as I respect him. Pero Sábado noite, I’m looking to gain my respect as a fighter. For both of us, I think a lot of questions have been raised about who we’ve fought. These questions are answered o sábado noite.
“This is a fight where you have to respect both fighters. The city of Detroit is coming out to see me bring this world title home and I’m sure Maryland is expecting the same from Hurd. It’s going to be a great atmosphere.
“From the time that I started at six-years-old, this day has been the pot at the end of the rainbow. I’m fighting a great fighter for a great belt in a great weight class.
“I just have to go out there and take it one round at a time. I believe that I have too much in the arsenal. I can’t get too excited, even if I see an opening to stop the fight, I’m going to do it the smart way. I’m in shape to go 12 rounds but if I see my opportunity, Vou leva-la.
“I’m looking to continue the legacy. It’s going to be an amazing fight. I love Deontay, but I’m looking to steal the show. This is the best division in boxing. I’m coming out hard and I know my opponent is too. We’re both ready to lay it all on the line for this world title.”
JARRETT HURD
“We were excited when we first got the fight with Tony Harrison and we were even more excited when we found out it would be for a world title. This is every champion’s dream and I get a big opportunity on a big network. Everyone gets to see who Jarrett Hurd is.
“This means everything. Staying undefeated is something that opens a lot of doors for you. I’m in quality fights so I’m doing something well. I have another great opponent in front of me, pero sobre Febreiro 25 Eu vou ser un campión do mundo.
“We had a really good long training camp. I didn’t need to do anything too drastic to make weight. I’m a big fighter for this division but I’ve never had a problem with weight. Non podo esperar para entrar no ring.
“My father was born in Birmingham, Alabama so to be able to have my world title shot here is exciting for my whole family. Esta é unha gran loita para min. I’ve trained hard and I’m prepared for it.
“I want this fight to answer a lot of questions. Some people say I’m not the fastest or that I don’t have enough defense. I want to be an undefeated fighter but I also want to build a legacy. I want to be on the platform with the best. I think this fight will give me that credibility.
“The jab is going to be really important. Tony Harrison has a really nice jab and the winner of the jab battle is going to be victorious. My jab and taking away his jab is going to win the fight for me.”
“My time is here. There will be a new 154-pound champion o sábado noite. My pants are falling down and I need my belt!”
Dominic Breazeale
“It’s great to be back on this stage. I’m ready to come back and show my boxing skills. Deontay and Gerald are going to put on a great show and I’m excited to be a part of it.
“My opponent is definitely an unknown character. We prepared for everything to get ready for a guy that will move a lot. It’s big for him to be fighting on a big card like this for his first U.S. loita. I’m glad he took the fight.
“I just need to be a pressure fighter. I’ve been down and gotten up. Eu estiven alí co mellor. I can’t let him get comfortable. I’m going to bring him a kind of fight he’s never seen before.
“I’ve been training hard with Manny Robles and we’ve done some phenomenal things over the last 10 semanas. I’ve been on the big stage and I’m ready to do it again. I feel good and I’m prepared put on a show.”
IZUAGBE UGONOH
“I’ve been training in Las Vegas for three years and I’m very excited to make my U.S. estrea Sábadonoite. It’s a great opportunity and I’m glad to get a big fight straight away against a good former title challenger who is also an Olympian. I couldn’t have wished for anything better than this.
“I’ve watched a lot of Dominic’s fights, even before I knew I was going to fight him. We know what he’s good at and we know where he makes mistakes. All my training partners were taller than me, so I’m comfortable fighting against big guys.
“Para min, this is everything. If you’re a fighter and you train hard to be a champion, then this is the stage you want to reach. When you get here, the question is, are you comfortable with it? I’ve always believed that this is where I belong and now I have the opportunity. Now I just want to have fun and do what I do best.
“I think this is going to be a very explosive fight. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in. I prepared for a better Dominic Breazeale than who fought Joshua. I think it’s going to be a beautiful night.
“My road has been very rocky. Teño loitado todo o mundo, but everything happens for a reason and happens at the right time. The time is now for me.”
CALEB PLANT
“Tiven un gran campamento. I know everyone says that, but this really has been my most productive camp. I’ve had great sparring since I moved to Las Vegas. It’s going to be fireworks o sábado.
“I know my opponent has been in there with some tough guys. El nunca foi detido. That’s what we want. Soft touches won’t get me to where I’m headed. This is my closest fight to my hometown of Nashville since I turned pro so I’m expecting a lot of support.
“I’m not here to take the easy road. É a miña vez agora. This is a great opportunity and I think it’s going to be a great fight. I’m excited to get in the ring.
“Coming from where I came from, all of this is surreal. My hard work got me here. I’m blessed to be here and I feel like I deserve it.
“Everything went so smoothly during camp and now it’s time to put it together in the ring. I’ve always been able to show out when the pressure’s on.
“I’m looking to win and win in impressive fashion. I’m going to have a strong defense but I’ll have to put the heat on him. This is the kind of pressure I love.
“I want big fights. I’m focused on getting myself better every day. I have a great team around me and I feel like I can beat anybody.”
