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 & Kasino, 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, keluarga ku, 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 pertarungan perebutan gelar, 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,” Kata Oquendo. “I’ve fought in Miami five times, lebih banyak, 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 sebagai seorang 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.
Kurang dari 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.

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 dan kemudian 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 Biaya) seeks the third heavyweight world title in his long and eventful career.

WBC HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION DEONTAY WILDER MEDIA CONFERENCE CALL HIGHLIGHTS IN ADVANCE OF ANTHONY JOSHUA vs. Wladimir Klitschko

American Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder hosted a media conference call to give his thoughts pada Sabtu heavyweight blockbuster between undefeated IBF Champion Anthony Joshua and long-reigning kingpin Wladimir Klitschko live on SHOWTIME® (4:15 p.m. DAN/1:15 p.m. PT) from sold-out Wembley Stadium in London.

Wilder (38-0, 37 Biaya), who won his WBC belt in January 2015 on SHOWTIME and has since made five defenses, will serve as an analyst for Sky Sports Box Office for Joshua vs. Klitschko.

The British sensation Joshua (18-0, 18 Biaya) and Klitschko (64-4, 54 Biaya) will unify the heavyweight division as they meet for Joshua’s IBF World Championship and the vacant WBA World Championship in front of record-setting 90,000 fans at Britain’s largest stadium.

Here is what Wilder had to say on the call pada hari Senin:

DEONTAY WILDER:

“I love this fight for these guys. I love it for the sport of boxing. The fans seem to be well in-tune with it and I think this is a super fight for the heavyweight division.

“I can’t wait for it. I can’t wait to see what happens and hopefully those guys go in healthy and come out the same way. This is a very dangerous sport, especially when you’re trying to perform and put on a show.”

On what Wilder sees as vulnerabilities in Joshua…

“There’s a lot of flaws that Joshua has, but Joshua is still young in the game as well. A lot of people look at Joshua and they’re going off of his physique and they’re going off of the hype that their countryman has brought to them.

“If you really look deep down and soul search and look at his resume, with all of the guys he’s fought … that sometimes makes a person look busier than what he is. There’s a lot of flaws in all of us though, to be honest. Nobody will ever be perfect in the ring. We only try to be our best and that’s the only thing you should go off of.

“I am looking forward to this fight and I can’t wait. I want Klitschko to come in and fight. You can always be hyped for a big fight but it’s all going to boil down to what fighter is going to bring what to the fight. I think he’s ready and he’s going to show a lot of things. He’s going to teach Joshua a lot of different things in the ring, demikian juga, and we’ll see if Joshua has any flaws or not.”

On potentially fighting the winner later this year…

“Hopefully. There are a lot of people that are involved in this. If it were just solely up to me then I’d be 1,000 percent confident, but it’s not just me. That’s what the fans want. I’ve been wanting to give the fans what they want my entire career. Sayangnya, I am one of those fighters that’s always getting the short end of the stick. I only can work with what I can work with.

“I am very confident that I am the best in this division. I am very confident that I will unify this division. I am very confident that I will retire on top, undefeated as well. I’m just waiting for my moment. I’ve been sitting patiently all of this time, even in the start of my career and I’m sitting patient now. I’m just looking forward to my turn.”

On why it’s important for him to be ringside in London…

“When you have guys that are competing against each other at the top, it’s only right for me to be there. I’m not just going out there to be on Sky Sports, I am for sure going there to scout. All the other heavyweights come to my fights. They’re not just there to be a fan. They’re there to scout and look for different openings and certain signs.

“I am definitely going over to scout. And maybe we can make a mega-unification bout.

“I want to go get [Joseph] Parker. Parker doesn’t have an opponent right now. I’m fresh. I’m ready and what would be better than me and Parker fighting for the unification and then have another unification where winner takes all at the end of the year? Kemudian, 2018 you can start off the year with nothing but mandatories.

“The heavyweight division is getting exciting. This is the heavyweight division, and we’re already coming out of that dark place and we finally got light. Don’t take it back. Don’t go backwards when we’re moving so freshly forward. Dengan itu, I want to move it more forward. I want to give the fans what they want, and they want a unification. They want one champion and I’m trying to make that happen. So here I am Joseph Parker.”

On breaking down Joshua-Klitschko…

“With Klitschko I definitely feel that the teachings of Emanuel Steward are lacking a little bit, but he’s not to blame. Steward was a very, very smart trainer. The things that he could see and the things that he can get in the heads of the fighters, that was unbelievable. He wasn’t a great trainer for no reason and that’s when I thought Klitschko was the best when he had Emanuel in his corner. Not only when he’s inside of the ring but when he’s on the outside too. Saat Ini, I just feel since he’s gone, it’s more about what Wladimir wants to do, not what his trainers see.

“With Joshua, he’s got the height and he’s got the power. Dalam divisi kelas berat, you don’t need skills. As long as you have the power, that’s what makes up the heavyweight division. You’re in the game once you’ve got that power….They’re going to have to play a forward fight to feel a little bit of each other out.

“If Joshua wants to be successful, he’s definitely going to have to move and take angles and be smart with Klitschko. Because Klitschko is very smart, he’s been around the block, he’s got an excellent jab, and he’s going to set Joshua up. His smartness is going to play in a lot.

“Joshua is not as flexible. I don’t think he’s super athletic and doesn’t have that much coordination because of the stiffness. But he definitely has a great shot in this fight and I’d love to see what happens, and hopefully everything comes through with having a mega-fight at the end of the year.”

On Klitschko’s loss to Fury…

"Klitschko didn’t lose by not being able to compete with Tyson Fury, or do the things he had to do. He lost because he didn’t throw no damn punches. I want him to fight in this fight. I don’t want him to hold back, because Fury was bigger than him or this and that. Forget all of that. You got to go in there and fight. You’re the champ. You don’t care about nobody being bigger than you. You go in there and you forget all of that and defend your title because you’re the king and you’re not going to let nobody take it… And that’s how he should come in there.

“There’s a time and a place to be nice. You can’t always be nice. You’ve got to go in there and let them know ‘I’m still a monster, I’m still a beast, I’m still that lion and I’ll eat you up alive when I get you in there.’ And that’s just what he has to come to bring to the table.

“I’m so ready for this fight. I’m looking forward to what’s after this to come. I’m looking forward to unifying this division and bringing it back to America – where it once was and where it’s always going to remain once I bring all the belts. It’s going to be back, Saya berjanji bahwa.

“Age is only but a number and if you feel like you still have it in you and have confidence in yourself, then that’s what you’re going to do. The mind is a powerful thing to lose. And when you lose your mind, you lose your body.

“With Klitschko, he feels like he’s dedicated himself back to the sport and that’s why he says he’s obsessed. He’s obsessed with retaining his titles, he’s obsessed with rising in boxing again. He’s like a new fighter. He needed that loss to Tyson Fury because he forgot to be humble. He forgot about that.

“Now that he’s rebuilt himself, he’s got that hunger, that fire. Pada akhir hari, all that matters is on the night of the fight. He can come to us with another Tyson Fury fight, talking about height and weight, or he can bring that Klitschko like we’ve always seen with the jabs and setting up with the right hands… We’ll see what happens.”

On his prediction for the winner and why…

“I’m going to continue with my statement as I’ve been saying it. My heart is for Joshua, but my mind is for Klitschko. My heart is for Joshua because I would love to fight him – I think that would be a mega-fight. Even though Joshua is fighting Klitschko, people are still talking to this day about a Wilder and Joshua fight. It’s almost demanded. If this kid beats Klitschko it’s like the only fight he can have is me, because it’s been so demanded.

“My mind goes to Klitschko, because he’s very smart. People talk about age, but like I said, age can play an advantage too. Klitschko has seen every style there is…And when you see it again, you know how to handle it and adapt to it. You know what you got to do.

“He knew what he had to do against Fury, he just didn’t pull the trigger because he was scared of being punished. That was his fault. Now that’s a shame on him. Now he’s coming back for a second time for a title, so if he does it again, he’s going to need to give it up. For those reasons, my heart goes to Joshua but my mind goes to Klitschko.”

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

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., yang ayahnya, 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) pada tanggal Hari Kamis, Bulan Maret 23, 2017, at Greg Cohen PromotionsSUPER 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 Biaya) taking on Ecuadorian veteran EduardoEl Cheíto” Bunga Bunga (25-25-3, 15 Biaya) di acara utama delapan ronde, and undefeated Enver Halili (8-0, 2 Biaya) facing Nicaragua’s Ariel Vasquez (13-16-2, 9 Biaya) in the six-round welterweight co-main.
Tickets for SUPER BRAWL® III are priced at Golden Ringside $150, Ringside $100 dan Penerimaan Umum $50 and can be purchased by calling the GCP office: 212.851.6425 atau online di gcpboxing.com.
My dad is like an advisor,” he continued. “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. pejuang, 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, ayah, 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.
“Saya merasa hebat. 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. Aku tidak akan terburu-buru. Ada tidak terburu-buru. 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. For instance, 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, hanya 7 will start. That means there are a million people trying to get 7 pekerjaan. And the average career in the NBA is four years. That’s a problem. People have to look at their odds. I did. Jadi, 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,” dia mengatakan. “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). Pada laga malam, pintu terbuka di 6:00 pm dan tindakan dimulai pada 7:00 pm. The Skylands ECC is located at 792 Rute 10 West in Randolph, NJ. Telepon: 973.328.8600.

CALEB TANAMAN
“Malam ini adalah tentang tetap terkendali. Saya tidak ingin pergi ke sana dan memaksakan apa pun. Saya hanya ingin bersantai dan menetap di belakang jab saya, gunakan pingsanku, dan ambil saja bidikan yang ada untuk saya.
“Saya berharap kemenangan seperti ini membuka beberapa pintu bagi saya. Itu 168 pembagian lbs ada di saku belakang saya. Saya hanya mengambil satu pertarungan pada satu waktu dan kami akan mencapai tujuan kami.
“Pergi jauh untuk mendapatkan kemenangan atas petarung berpengalaman seperti Awimbono menunjukkan banyak tentang potensi saya. Dia pernah ke sana bersama beberapa petarung hebat, tapi saya berjuang dan mendapatkan kemenangan.
“Saya menjatuhkannya lebih awal dengan kebingungan, tapi sulit melawan pria yang tidak ingin terlibat. Anda harus mengambil apa yang mereka berikan kepada Anda. Kalau tidak, saya berisiko masuk terlalu agresif dan tertangkap basah, yang tidak bisa saya izinkan. Saya harus tetap sabar dan menemukan tempat saya.
“Saya berharap untuk pertarungan yang lebih besar setiap saat. Kami tidak ingin ada sentuhan lembut. Saya sudah mencoba berkelahi dengan beberapa prospek teratas, orang-orang dengan beberapa judul kecil, tapi mereka tidak mau melawan. Saya tidak bisa membiarkan itu mengganggu saya, karena saya tahu saya berisiko tinggi untuk orang-orang ini. Mungkin di awal karir saya, tapi saya bisa membuat penyesuaian dan melakukan semuanya.”
TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYAR
“Sangat berarti untuk mendapatkan kemenangan seperti itu melawan petarung tangguh dalam waktu singkat.

BIRMINGHAM, AL. (Februari 25, 2017) – Undefeated heavyweight world champion Deontay “Perunggu Bomber” Wilder (38-0, 37 Biaya) knocked out Gerald “The Black Rooster” Washington (18-1-1, 12 Biaya) 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 penggemar, Wilder mampu memberikan kemenangan gemilang kepada penonton negara bagian asalnya. Meskipun Washington mencuri beberapa putaran awal, Kesabaran Wilder terbayar saat ia mampu menemukan langkahnya dan menyelesaikan Washington di ronde kelima.
Dalam pembuka televisi yang terik, Dominic Breazeale (18-1, 16 Biaya) berhenti sebelumnya tak terkalahkan Izuagbe Ugonoh (17-1, 14 Biaya). Ugonoh mengendalikan pertarungan lebih awal dengan mendaratkan pukulan berat ke tubuh dan kepala Breazeale, tapi Breazeale mampu menenangkan diri dan menyerbu kembali untuk melumpuhkan Ugonoh dengan cara yang mengesankan.
Acara co-main menampilkan Jarrett Hurd (20-0, 14 Biaya) mengalahkan Tony Harrison (24-2, 20 Biaya) di ronde kesembilan kontes mereka.
Inilah yang dikatakan para petarung setelah pertarungan mereka:
DEONTAY WILDER
“Saya tahu dia akan datang dengan bersemangat untuk memperjuangkan gelar dunia. Saya tetap tenang dan menemukan ritme saya. Saya benar-benar tahu dia akan lelah, dan ketika dia melakukannya, saya mengambil keuntungan.
“Itu semua tentang waktu. Saya sangat pintar dalam hal menggunakan taktik yang berbeda di atas ring.
“Berjuang di sini di Alabama adalah berkah. Orang-orang di sini muncul untuk mendukung saya dan saya mencintai mereka karenanya. Saya akan selalu mendukung dan berada di sini untuk keluarga Alabama saya. Melihat respon penonton malam ini sangat berarti bagiku.
“Seperti yang saya katakan, Saya ingin menyatukan divisi. Saya pikir sangat penting untuk memiliki satu petarung dan satu juara, dan itu Deontay Wilder. Mari berharap Joseph Parker siap untuk saya karena saya pasti siap untuknya.”
GERALD WASHINGTON
“Saya hanya sedikit tidak sabar. Saya mencoba untuk melakukannya. Itu adalah pertandingan tinju yang seimbang. Saya bisa menyimpannya seperti itu dan membuatnya membosankan. Saya tidak tahu mengapa saya tertidur di sana. Kurasa aku kehilangan sedikit fokus.
“Saya menangkapnya dengan satu tembakan ketika dia masuk. Tapi alih-alih saya mempertahankan permainan itu dan terus mendorongnya kembali dan membuatnya tetap memegang kendali dengan membuatnya tetap berada di tengah ring, Saya mencoba untuk mendapatkan dia. Saya mencoba memainkan peran counter punch kecil dan menangkapnya masuk. Dia baru saja menangkapku.
“Itu hanya sebuah pengalaman. Anda harus mengikuti rencana permainan dan tetap fokus, tetap sabar. Anda mungkin tidak mendapatkan semua bidikan yang Anda inginkan di awal, tetapi Anda harus memainkan permainan sepenuhnya dan kemudian hal-hal akan mulai terjadi.”
JARRETT HURD
“Kami ingin meluangkan waktu bersamanya karena Harrison dapat bertinju dan bergerak. Tapi setiap kali dia bertarung, dia lelah sampai akhir.
“Selama ronde keenam, dia menangkap saya dengan tembakan bagus di mata kiri saya. Tapi saya berhasil melawannya dan mendapatkan kemenangan.
“Senang rasanya menjadi juara. Saya tidak pernah merasa sehebat ini sebelumnya. Ini kekuatan Accokeek murni. Saya akhirnya bisa menarik celana saya sekarang. Celanaku jatuh, tapi akhirnya saya mendapatkan sabuk saya.”
DOMINIC Breazeale
“Butuh sedikit waktu bagi saya untuk menemukan kecepatan saya, tapi akhirnya saya menemukan Irama saya. Izu datang dalam kondisi sangat baik dan dengan senjata yang menyala-nyala. Dia mendatangi saya dengan beberapa hal yang tidak saya duga. Dia menjadi pria yang lebih ringan, saya tidak benar-benar mengharapkan kekuatan yang dia miliki.
“Saya dapat menghubungkan beberapa bidikan besar malam ini, apalagi dengan tangan kananku. Anda lihat apa yang terjadi ketika saya menjatuhkannya dan dia tidak pernah benar-benar pulih.
“Setelah kalah dari 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. Dia besar, kuat, athletic guy.
“Malam Ini, 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.
“Dengan Jujur, I just got tired. Saya memberinya apa yang saya miliki dan kemudian saya lelah. Ketika dia kembali padaku, aku tidak bisa mengikuti dan menyelesaikan rencana permainanku.
“Rencananya adalah untuk benar-benar menggunakan pukulan gandaku, dan saya tidak membuat alasan apapun. This is the fight game. Ini adalah kesempatan besar bagi saya, langkah besar, dan saya berharap untuk menyelesaikannya. Saya tidak, tapi itu bagian dari olahraga. Aku tidak terbiasa kalah, tapi waktu itu datang hari ini. Aku masih orang yang berbahaya untuk dilawan.”

Berikut adalah apa yang para pejuang harus mengatakan Hari Kamis:
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.
“Ini merupakan perjalanan bagi saya. 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 pada hari Sabtu night and I know these other guys can’t wait to get into the ring.
Hari Sabtu 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. Tapi, 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, tapi dia memilihku dan aku bersyukur untuk itu.
“Ini adalah mimpi yang menjadi kenyataan. Saya mulai bertinju sejak kecil tetapi saya tidak tahu apa yang ingin saya lakukan. Saya sudah memiliki jalan yang panjang, tapi sekarang saya di sini berjuang untuk kejuaraan kelas berat dunia. Ini sangat berarti bagiku.
“Pelatih saya John Pullman dan saya mulai bekerja sama dan kami telah melewati setiap rintangan. Ini kerja keras tetapi kami bekerja bersama dan sekarang kami di sini. Itulah hidup ini semua tentang. Anda harus mengambil risiko dan kapan waktunya, saatnya untuk menangani bisnis Anda. Ini waktuku dan aku siap.
“Saya sangat senang bisa melakukan apa yang saya sukai. Saya akan melawan Deontay Wilder, pengebom perunggu, di halaman belakang rumahnya. Anda tidak dapat mengambil apa yang telah dia capai. Tapi saya di sini untuk menangani bisnis saya.
“Saya mencoba hidup sebagai juara dan sekarang adalah kesempatan saya untuk menjadi juara. Saya akan mengambil kesempatan ini dan mengambilnya.”
TONY HARRISON
“Sebagai pesaing, Saya sudah bersemangat tentang pertarungan ketika mereka memanggil saya tentang melawan Hurd. Saya langsung menjawab ya. Nama Jarett Hurd disebutkan setiap kali Anda menyebutkan divisi 154 pon. Saya memulai ini dengan keinginan untuk menjadi yang terbaik dan melakukan itu, Saya harus mengalahkan yang terbaik.
“Itu adalah pertarungan bagi saya yang langsung saya lompat. Ketika saya mendapat telepon bahwa itu akan menjadi pertarungan gelar, Saya tahu bahwa ini akan menjadi pertarungan warisan.
“Saya pikir kami memiliki rasa saling menghormati menuju pertarungan ini. Dia menghormati saya sama seperti saya menghormatinya. Tapi Hari Sabtu malam, 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 pada hari Sabtu malam.
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, Saya akan melakukannya dengan cara yang cerdas. Saya siap untuk pergi 12 putaran tetapi jika saya melihat kesempatan saya, Aku akan membawanya.
“Saya ingin melanjutkan warisan. Ini akan menjadi pertarungan yang luar biasa. Saya suka Deontay, tapi saya ingin mencuri perhatian. Ini adalah divisi terbaik dalam tinju. Saya keluar dengan keras dan saya tahu lawan saya juga. Kami berdua siap untuk mempertaruhkan segalanya demi gelar juara dunia ini.”
JARRETT HURD
“Kami senang ketika kami pertama kali bertarung dengan Tony Harrison dan kami bahkan lebih bersemangat ketika kami tahu itu akan menjadi gelar juara dunia. Ini adalah impian setiap juara dan saya mendapatkan peluang besar di jaringan besar. Semua orang bisa melihat siapa Jarrett Hurd.
“Ini berarti segalanya. Tetap tak terkalahkan adalah sesuatu yang membuka banyak pintu untukmu. Saya dalam pertarungan kualitas jadi saya melakukan sesuatu dengan baik. Saya memiliki lawan hebat lainnya di depan saya, tetapi pada Februari 25 Saya akan menjadi juara dunia.
“Kami memiliki kamp pelatihan panjang yang sangat bagus. Saya tidak perlu melakukan sesuatu yang terlalu drastis untuk menambah berat badan. Saya seorang petarung besar untuk divisi ini tetapi saya tidak pernah memiliki masalah dengan berat badan. Saya tidak sabar untuk naik ring.
“Ayah saya lahir di Birmingham, Alabama jadi bisa mendapatkan gelar juara dunia saya di sini sangat menyenangkan bagi seluruh keluarga saya. Ini adalah pertarungan besar bagi saya. Saya telah berlatih keras dan saya siap untuk itu.
“Saya ingin pertarungan ini menjawab banyak pertanyaan. Beberapa orang mengatakan saya bukan yang tercepat atau saya tidak memiliki pertahanan yang cukup. Saya ingin menjadi petarung yang tak terkalahkan tetapi saya juga ingin membangun warisan. Saya ingin berada di platform dengan yang terbaik. 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.
“Waktu saya di sini. There will be a new 154-pound champion pada hari Sabtu malam. 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. pertarungan. I’m glad he took the fight.
I just need to be a pressure fighter. I’ve been down and gotten up. Aku sudah di sana dengan yang terbaik. 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 minggu. 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. debut Hari Sabtumalam. 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.
“Saya telah menyaksikan banyak pertarungan Dominic, bahkan sebelum aku tahu aku akan melawannya. Kami tahu apa yang dia kuasai dan kami tahu di mana dia membuat kesalahan. Semua mitra pelatihan saya lebih tinggi dari saya, jadi aku nyaman bertarung melawan orang-orang besar.
“Bagi saya, ini segalanya. Jika Anda seorang pejuang dan Anda berlatih keras untuk menjadi juara, maka inilah tahap yang ingin Anda capai. Ketika Anda sampai di sini, pertanyaannya adalah, apakah kamu nyaman dengannya?? Saya selalu percaya bahwa ini adalah tempat saya berada dan sekarang saya memiliki kesempatan. Sekarang saya hanya ingin bersenang-senang dan melakukan yang terbaik.
“Saya pikir ini akan menjadi pertarungan yang sangat eksplosif. Saya dalam kondisi terbaik yang pernah saya alami. Saya bersiap untuk Dominic Breazeale yang lebih baik daripada yang melawan Joshua. I think it’s going to be a beautiful night.
My road has been very rocky. Saya telah berjuang di seluruh dunia, but everything happens for a reason and happens at the right time. The time is now for me.
CALEB TANAMAN
I’ve had a great camp. 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 pada hari Sabtu.
I know my opponent has been in there with some tough guys. Dia tidak pernah berhenti. 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. Saatnya saya sekarang. 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.
